Disneyland Resort
Planning a Disneyland Resort vacation
Two parks sit across from each other in Anaheim, California, so Disneyland suits shorter trips and families who like a walkable resort.
How many days do you need at Disneyland?
Three days is a comfortable first visit for Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure. Two days works if you choose your priorities, and more days add rest and repeat favorites.
How to plan it
- Dates and budget. Holidays and school breaks cost the most.
- Hotel. Compare Disney hotels with nearby hotels by distance and total cost.
- Tickets. Check Disney's current ticket types and whether you choose a park each day.
- Dining. Reserve the meals that matter to you and check Disney's current rules.
Who Disneyland suits
- Long weekends and three to four day trips.
- Families who prefer less transportation between parks.
- Visitors who can fly or drive to Southern California easily.
