The Wildest Ride in the Wilderness
Streak through a legendary gold-mining town aboard a rollicking runaway mine train (rollercoaster).

Enchanted Tiki Room

Disneyland / Adventureland
Any Height

Tropical birds, tiki gods and colorful flowers come to life in a swinging 15-minute South Seas musical celebration.

Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room debuted in 1963 as the very first Audio-Animatronics show. Walt Disney’s fascination with translating his love of film animation into the real world led to the groundbreaking new technology, which enabled the synchronization of movement, audio and visual effects of a multitude of animated figures at one time. This technology helped pave the way for other classic attractions, including “it’s a small world,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” and the “Haunted Mansion.”

An Enchanted Garden
The magic begins before you even enter the Enchanted Tiki Room. As you wait for the doors to open, carved totem poles representing the island gods suddenly spring to life and introduce themselves.

You can also take the opportunity to purchase a treat from the Tiki Juice Bar. Taste a Pineapple Dole Whip—a classic treat we enjoy on every visit. Learn more about this famous and tasty treat in our SNACK section.

Space Mountain Ghost Galaxy

Disneyland / Tomorrowland
FASTPASS Offered / Height Requirement: 40" or Taller

During Halloween Time 2017, brave the haunted cosmos aboard a speeding rocket to the darkest reaches of outer space.

Flight of Fright
As the universe’s newest explorer, you’ve been recruited to investigate a creepy cosmic phenomenon within the darkest regions of Space Mountain. But when your starship becomes mysteriously possessed by something sinister, your voyage takes an unexpected detour into a shadowy realm—an uncharted galaxy where haunted star clusters, supernatural supernovas and spine-tingling phenomena threaten you at every turn.

Space Mountain opened in 1977 and the space-themed indoor steel roller coaster became an instant Disneyland classic. The structure of the attraction is an icon. Placing the structural beams on the outside of the building was pretty forward-thinking in the mid 70’s. The Imagineers wanted the beams on the outside to allow a smooth ceiling inside for the stars and planets to be projected upon.

Space Mountain is INCREDIBLY popular. Get your Space Mountain FASTPASS as soon as you enter Disneyland for the day because your return time may be many hours later. On busy days FASTPASS for this attraction will run out for the entire day by early afternoon.

DINE DISNEYLAND

Plaza Inn

Disneyland / Main Street, U.S.A. (near the Tomorrowland entrance)

Steeped in History and Elegance
The Plaza Inn (formerly known as the Red Wagon Inn) has been feeding hungry park Guests since opening day. Back then, a VIP lounge, wet bar and private bathroom accommodated Walt’s special guests, and smartly jacketed doormen greeted diners at the entrance.

Designer Lillian Disney, Walt’s wife, handpicked many of the restaurant’s authentic 19th-century interior furnishings herself, including its Victorian stained-glass ceiling, marble foyer and ornate gingerbread woodwork, all salvaged from an old home in Los Angeles’ historic St. James Park neighborhood.

Casual Fare in an Opulent Backdrop
Dine on home-style favorites in a lavish Victorian setting, one of the original landmarks of Disneyland Park. With its truly dazzling décor, it should come as no surprise that the Plaza Inn, present when the park opened in 1955, was one of Walt’s favorite places to dine.

It’s also many Guests’ favorite place to dine due to the Plaza Inn Specialty Chicken. This generous platter features three pieces of seasoned chicken fried to a golden brown served with mashed potatoes, a buttermilk biscuit and mixed vegetables. Be sure to fill your cup with soft drinks from our beautiful antique-style beverage fountain before finding a seat in the grand dining room or outside on the spacious patio, the perfect spot for people- and parade-watching on Main Street, U.S.A.

DINE DCA

Corn Dog Castle

DCA / Paradise Pier

At this medieval-themed boardwalk stand, corn dogs rule! Each delicious, made-to-order dog is hand-dipped and deep-fried at your command. Choose from the original, hot link or ooey-gooey cheddar—all cometh with apple slices or chips.

The original or hot link is a favorite lunch for Adam. The Corn Dog Castle is VERY popular and the line can be quite long, especially at lunch or dinner time. Seating is outdoors and it can also be in high demand. We recommend sending one person from your party to secure a table and chairs while you wait in line for your deep-fried delights.

Little Red Wagon / Disneyland
If you’re in Disneyland and not DCA, don’t despair! You can also get hand-dipped corn dog at the Little Red Wagon in Disneyland on Main Street, U.S.A. near the Plaza Inn. It’s the hand dipped batter that gives the corn dog “layers.” It has a layer of crunch on top of a layer of moist and airy batter. It has a layer of semi-sweet taste from the batter on top of the salty, delicious taste of the dog itself.

While lines at Little Red Wagon can be long, and seating minimal, the corn dogs are worth it. Grab your corn dog and enjoy it on a bench in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Corn dogs come with chips by default, but you don’t have to order it with chips–and it’s cheaper without them. So even if you’re not keen on a corn dog for a full meal, without chips it’s a nice grab and go savory snack, both in terms of price and size.

Earl of Sandwich®

Downtown Disney District

In 1762, the esteemed John Montagu invented the sandwich; later, his descendants perfected it—now you need to try it! Taste a 250-year legacy of scrumptious specialty sandwiches.

The Story Behind the Sandwich
John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich, was known for many things before devising this most revolutionary food. As First Sea Lord, he commanded the venerable British Navy and was also a noted explorer.

But lore has it that his love of gambling, often from day into night, led Montagu to put meat between two slices of bread so that he could satisfy his need for nourishment without stepping away from the card table. This ingenious idea quickly caught on when savvy cohorts began requesting “the same as Sandwich!” In 1762, the world’s first fast food was named after its creator, John Montagu, the Earl of Sandwich—and the rest, as they say, is history.

Some 250 years later, the current 11th Earl and the Sandwich family continue a proud family tradition of crafting quality sandwiches using only the freshest ingredients, making it easy for anyone, earl or otherwise, to enjoy a great meal on the go.

The Original 1762 is the star of the menu, and when you taste it you’ll know why. This noble sandwich features tender Angus roast beef, sharp cheddar and creamy horseradish sauce. The Earl’s Club and The Full Montagu® with turkey and roast beef pay homage to the resourceful British Navy commander. Try the Earl Grey Lemonade, a refreshing take on the Arnold Palmer.

Tips & Tricks

DISNEYLAND FIRST TIME TIPS & TRICKS & Must Do’s!
Check out this YouTube video from mrcheezypop:
https://youtu.be/WJeQ0onUz5A
First time at Disneyland? I cover everything! All tips on what attractions to see, what food to eat, and how to schedule your day!

Security Checkpoints
In order to keep everyone safe, security checkpoints are in place for anyone entering the Downtown Disney District, Disneyland or Disney California Adventure. The checkpoints are similar to airport security. Every Guest is required to walk thru a metal detector and to open bags for inspection. They are looking for weapons, alcohol and selfie sticks. Selfie sticks are NOT allowed inside the secured area because those pose a risk on the attractions. If you accidentally bring contraband like a brass knuckle key chain (this is a real example that we saw with our own eyes) then Disney security will give you the option to go back to your hotel or vehicle to store it or you can abandon the disallowed item at the security checkpoint. Note that the lines for security can be very long in the morning when many people are headed into the parks. Plan up to one hour in the morning to clear security and enter one of the parks. You will wait in line first to clear security and then to enter the park.

Rope Drop
The entrance gates will generally open between 15 and 25 minutes BEFORE Disneyland or Disney California Adventure officially opens. With the entrance gates open, guests may proceed onto Main Street, U.S.A. (Disneyland) or Buena Vista Street (DCA) to the hub where Cast Members will be hold a rope preventing the crowd from going any further into the park. Rope drop allows Disney to pre-load the park with guests and cut down on the lines at the entrance gates before the official opening time. At the top of the hour when the park opens, a brief audio greeting cues the Cast Members to drop the rope and the park is officially open. Please remember that running is never allowed in any Disney theme park, but if you attend rope drop you will witness some very fast walking once that rope is dropped.

Smart Phone Battery Charger
It is essential to have a smart phone in the theme parks to enjoy the benefits of the Disneyland app and to communicate via voice and/or text with the other members of your party. Smart phone batteries drain VERY quickly in the parks. Even if you don’t normally need a mobile smart phone charger, you should consider purchasing one before your Disneyland visit. The charger needs to be fully charged each night to provide power for a day of magic in Disneyland and/or Disney California Adventure.

Locker Rentals
Anaheim cools off at night so you will want a jacket for the evening, but you probably won’t want to carry it around all day. The best solution is to store your belongings in conveniently located lockers while you enjoy the parks.

Locker rentals are available for different prices depending on the locker size. Inside the parks, lockers are available for $7 and $10 per day. Outside the parks, lockers are available for $7, $10, $11, $12 and $15 per day. Lockers provide unlimited access throughout the day. Keep in mind that lockers inside the parks are only accessible during park operating hours. Items cannot be stored in lockers overnight. If you accidentally leave an item in a locker overnight, please contact Lost and Found.

Locker Rental Locations
Disneyland Park: Main Street, U.S.A. around the corner from the Market House / Starbucks
Disney California Adventure Park: Buena Vista Street near Mortimer’s Market
The Esplanade: Lockers accessible from the Downtown Disney District are located outside the Main Entrances to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park.

Celebration Buttons
Complimentary Celebration Buttons are available at City Hall in Disneyland, the Chamber of Commerce at Disney California Adventure and at cash registers in shops like the Emporium in Disneyland on Main Street, U.S.A. Cast Members (employees) will personalize a button with your name. Sometimes wearing a button will get you special recognition in the parks. Available Celebration Buttons include:
• First Visit! (Can be worn at ANY age)
• I’m Celebrating! (Can be personalized with a specific occasion)
• Happy Birthday!
• Happily Ever After (Engagements, weddings, honeymoons and anniversaries)

Starbucks
The Disneyland Resort finally started offering a decent cup of coffee once Starbucks arrived on the scene. You may get your corporate caffein fix at 4 locations:
• Disneyland: Market House on the east side of Main Street, U.S.A. (on the right hand side of the street as you face Sleeping Beauty Castle) about halfway down the street. The Starbucks signage is very subtle and you cannot order in advance via the Starbucks app.
• Disney California Adventure: Fiddler, Fifer & Practical Cafe at the end of Buena Vista Street to the right toward Soarin’. The Starbucks signage is very subtle and you cannot order in advance via the Starbucks app.
• Downtown Disney District: This flagship Starbucks Reserve is west of the World of Disney store and across from the Naples restaurant. Skip the (often very, very long) line and place your order in advance via the Starbucks app.
• Downtown Disney District: The second (and much smaller) location is on the west end of the district, across from the Rain Forest Cafe. Skip the (often very long) line and place your order in advance via the Starbucks app.


Gay Days Anaheim
October 6-8 is the 20th annual Gay Days Anaheim and we chose this festive weekend as the perfect backdrop for our wedding celebrations. The first Gay Days Anaheim in 1998 attracted about 2,500 people. Today the event attracts over 30,000 guests to the Disneyland Resort each year! You will see thousands of LGBT people and allies attending Gay Days Anaheim. You will know that because attendees wear all varieties of red shirts.

From the Gay Days Anaheim website: Why do we wear red shirts?
We take after our sister event in Orlando, which also uses the red as the color of choice. Red stands out in the crowd. Because the park is open to everyone, it’s easiest to identify one another if we’re all wearing the same color. And while we don’t consider the event political in any way, a sea of red shirts does make a lasting impression on all who see it.
