When it comes to Disneyland, there always seems to be lines upon lines and your money seems to disappear down a never-ending black hole. It almost makes the Happiest Place on Earth not worth it at times, but let me tell you, these few tricks will make a huge difference.
1. The right time to go to Disneyland
After the hustle and bustle of a popular holiday such as Christmas, New Years or even the Fourth of July, the park hits a slight low. I'm not saying that there will be nobody at the park or that there will be no lines, but they are substantially shorter. It is also helpful to go during the week after a big holiday because there will be even less people. You'll actually be able to breathe walking from one line to the next, not having to worry about crashing into a random stranger.
2. Later at night there is nobody at the park
Once the last boom of fireworks fills the cool evening air, the endless crowd of people dissipates, leaving a magical land full of five minute wait times and personal space. Even though you might be tired and the thought of sleep takes over, the ability to hit those last-minute rides becomes worth it simply because the lines are at an all time low. Not only are the lines short, but the bright sun is gone leaving a cool nights breeze and the shining moon in its place.
3. Park Hopper Passes are overrated
One of the joys of Disneyland is the ability to go from one park to the other, but the secret is… don't get a hopper pass. Get tickets for each park individually and save some money, because looking at the prices, a hopper pass is more expensive than individual tickets. Plus, not having a hopper pass saves the journey from one park to the other and gives you even more time in each individual park. Instead of running around from one park to the other just spend a whole day in each park. I'm not saying park hopper passes are pointless because they definitely aren't, but getting individual tickets may save some money so you can spend even more money on churros, dole whip, or any other magical treat Disney has to offer.
