The Disneyland Resort is a two-park destination (Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park) requiring separate admission or a Park Hopper ticket.
Both parks are structured into distinct themed lands, each with unique attractions and experiences.
Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance in Disneyland Park is widely considered a standout and highly immersive attraction.
Radiator Springs Racers in Disney California Adventure is a very popular ride, often with long wait times, and is the only ride in that park that charges for Lightning Lane reservations.
The resort offers on-site hotels with varying themes and benefits, and Character Dining is available.
The Downtown Disney District provides entertainment, dining, and shopping without park admission.
Planning, including utilizing the Disneyland app and considering touring strategies, is crucial for a successful visit.
Dining experiences are varied, with some establishments receiving high praise (e.g., Trader Sam's, Carthay Circle, Bengal BBQ, Jolly Holiday, Plaza Inn) and others being less recommended (e.g., Pizza Planet, Galactic Grill, Blue Bayou having mixed reviews on food quality).
Seasonal overlays on attractions like "it's a small world" and Haunted Mansion are a notable feature.
Park reservations in addition to tickets are mandatory for entry.
