Welcome to the Disney Parks Moms Panel, Lina. I’m excited to hear that you’re planning your first trip to the Disneyland Resort with your husband.
The Disneyland Resort is truly magical, as it is the only Disney Park that Walt Disney has stepped foot on. It is cozy and smaller than the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. You’ll find some familiarities at Disneyland Park, but there are also many distinct attractions you won’t find at Magic Kingdom. For example, Hyperspace Mountain, Matterhorn Bobsleds and Indiana Jones Adventure are a few of my favorite attractions and unique to the Disneyland Park.
You can purchase tickets on the Disneyland Resort website, and upgrade to the Park Hopper option to gain access to both Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park in one day. Since you’ll be arriving on a weekday in early October, that’s not typically a busy time. Wait times most likely won’t be very long. Since it’ll only be you and your husband, you’ll be able to enjoy many attractions and entertainment at both parks in one day. I suggest downloading the
Disneyland mobile app prior to your arrival to help you plan your day. You’ll be able to look up wait times, find out FASTPASS distribution time, and check out restaurant menus as well.
I hope this information is helpful for you, Lina. Please visit us on the Panel again if you have further questions.
Sending you Pixie Dust,
Kiki
