    My son and I had such a blast at Disneyland. It was his first experience. We loved it. The staff were great. Only issue is the prices of the food. Loved all the rides we went on. It sucked the waiting time it takes to get on a ride. Thank goodness for the genie app we were able to pay a bit more and fast track on a few rides. Great memories my son and I was able to do together.

    Great birthday at Disneyland!! So fun and LOTS of new attractions. For someone who hasn't been here in 27 years I feel like we packed so much in for just 1 day. Love it, how to go back sooner than later.

    High standard accessible hotel room, easy access to both parks. Super friendly service personnel and security guards; so welcoming, helpful and friendly. A great family experience for both kids and adults no matter what your Disney preferences might be. On negative side would be the cost which can easily spin out of control unless you plan ahead. None the less we will be back!

    Wonderful experience for the whole family. Definitely a place to spend the entire time with your family, full fun filled place. Lots of attractions and rides for all ages, there's definitely always something to do. The wait times for pretty much everything is long though. At least one hour for rides, there are some exceptions, but be prepared for long lines. Prices are really high for most things. For food expect to pay $15-20 for adults and $10-15 for children per person. You can bring your own snacks to try and minimize your spending, but check with park guidelines for what you can and cannot bring. Overall, great place for the family to visit. Customer service is good, mostly all staff is really friendly and helpful.

    Disney has been my home for years. Going to enjoy all the fun and rides. Foods are amazing and never had issues with quality and quantity. The staff as always is amazing and damn amazing. Makes you feel like your on cloud 9. Makes you feel like your in another world. When you come out. It's a big difference. And the shops and products are amazing. This is going to be a life time of going and the rides make me feel so happy. Guardians ride monster at night. Is amazing.

    They did a lot of updates since I've been there. Getting bag checked before getting on the tram is a nice 👌 touch. Love how they have items to buy all around the park. Way more Halloween 🎃 decorations. Haunted Mansion 👻 stuff My favorite 😍 I had to look at everything. The food selection 😋 is awesome 👌

    We had such great time here. Just me and my partner went, with no extra family or kids and had so much fun. The new Star Wars zone is amazing. Just walking around is an experience. So much has gone into the attention to detail and there’s so much to explore. Even the shops are decorated like film sets. I’d recommend exploring every corner. The two new rides are great, one is particularly breathtaking and we came away talking about it and wondering how they did some of the awe inspiring tricks. Truly amazing. We also had some decent food and drink in this zone with lots of fun off-world themed stuff to try, including vegan options, and of course you have to visit the bar and try some blue milk. The rest of the park was also fun but there are lots of buggies around even during term time which can be frustrating trying to get around when it’s busy, but all in all would recommend going.

    I had an amazing time at Disneyland Resort! I visited the parks for 6 and 1/2 days and enjoyed every bit. Mobile Ordering is a must and food was prepared fast. Restrooms in the parks were very clean, even on the busiest days I visited. Rides were barely going down nor stopped midway compared to Disney World. I enjoyed my time so much, I ended up getting the Magic Key and saved a lot of money on purchases at the park and at Downtown Disney. Will be going back this year and many more in the future.

    Great vacation spot! They brought back the Electric Main Street parade -incredibly nostalgic and great vibe all around. Stars wars enthusiasts would love it as well! Also recommend upgrading your tickets to genie plus- wait time drastically reduced to nearly no wait at all!

    You're always going to have a good time going to Disney. We went with a friend who goes regularly so we plotted out our day ahead of time. We got the magic passes but could only use it once. You have to schedule yourself a time slot when you're going to ride but many slots were not available. Kinda didn't seem worth it. There is wifi available but be wary. They block access to certain sites so if they do that they are definitely keeping tabs on you. Tie that to the app and they could have access to lots of info about you. Wait times for the major stuff is always crazy and there is rarely a place to sit for a second. However, in the new Star Wars area, they thought of that and built in seating along the queue. The newer areas are now adding water bottle refilling stations which is nice. A perfect visit would retrofit the old water fountains with water bottle refill stations too and more seating in the queues.

    We always stay at the Grand Californian and are never disappointed. The Concierge floor is great as there is the cafe where you get food/snacks and drinks for all three meals. The rooms are bigger than the regular rooms. I will always come back!

    Happiest place on earth but definitely not the cheapest, nor easiest. Make sure you plan out your trip ahead to maximize your chance of getting to do anything (not everything). Definitely set your expectations low for what you plan to actually get done there, it's more about the experience. There are insane amounts of people and long wait times at every corner so take the little ones to have fun, but prepare to pull your hair out and get frustrated it's just part of the experience. The employees, pardon my french, "cast members" are all very nice and great at what the do so that's pleasant. They're all great with kids and help you stay entertained.

    Always a good time at the happiest place on earth!! Bring your patience, this place is packed!! We were there Oct. 7th, 2022. Can't wait to return! Highly recommend buying genie+. We were able to get on all the attractions we wanted, some of them twice! The app is frustrating though. Make dining reservations!! We ate at the blue bayou. So good! We were evacuated from splash mountain, right before the first drop. Cast members rescued us quickly. It was a unique experience for sure!

    Honestly had such an amazing time here!!! The attention to detail in all of the attractions and different Disney “lands” is truly unmatched. So many memories, so much fun, the only thing that was kind of a bummer was the rolling blackouts because we weren’t able to go on quite a few of the rides we were really looking forward to going on. I’m looking forward to the other park tomorrow ❤️

    Every time is a different experience but I sure do feel happiest here. The nostalgia, the food, the rides, the experiences and the dedicated cast members all make for a special Disney Day. If you go with the flow and have a flexible plan, it will make your day a whole lot smoother. Rides breakdown, it gets crowded sometimes but just remember everyone there is just trying to have a good time too.

    The day was exquisite. Pro tip: Arrive 30 minutes before opening. You'll find the gates wide open with a minimal wait to enter. Wander Main Street while you wait, grab breakfast, or go stand at the entrance of the Land you want to do first. Wednesday are slow mornings with park attendance increased by noon. I was with Disney for 45 years. I know all the secrets.

    Galaxy Edge is honestly the best thing in Disneyland for me. Smuggler Run and Rise of the Resistance are literally the best attraction in there but it takes forever to get in. Lightning lanes can be used to enter without waiting but may cost an additional fee.

    I have been going to Disneyland since it opened. I love going but the corporate greed exhibited by the Disney corporation has made it impossible to enjoy it as fully as I have in the past. I paid $25 for what use to be free fast passes. Then $25 just to get on one of the Star Wars rides. Neither is necessary if you don’t mind spending 75 minutes in line for a 5 minute ride multiple times throughout the day. The food was mediocre at best but breakfast with the characters still cost $110 for 2 adults. The buffet breakfast foods were dreadful. The service was fantastic! There were not as many people in the park as I have experienced in the past but the over crowding was still scarily too much. The parking was $30. Why should it be that high? It is gouging, plain and simple. But…you can spend $50 and get preferred parking. My friend did and his car was 5 rows away from mine. Take your children somewhere that doesn’t expose them to crass commercialism, too many people crowded on top of each other, too much loud noise, and exhausted parents worn out from the same.

    Good day out for family and children and big kids, the highlight for me was the star wars area, the attention to detail is stunning, it really looks and feels like your really at a rebel base. Worth it just for that. Could not spend a whole day there though. Food choices for gluten free, veggie and vegan also surprisingly excellent

    What a place. Must visit. This is my 6 5th time here. Still so much interesting. Only disappointment is fireworks canceled due to wind. Apart from that, we enjoyed a lot. Difficult to complete all rides unless you plan it intelligently. Magic pass is worth, but once booked for á ride, you can't change it.. you will lose your slot. Make sure to do proper research before you reserve for any ride

  • 4/5 Kevin P. 9 months ago on Google
    $$$$$$ everything is expensive. That's the only thing that I had an issue with. Other than that, it's just a good Disney experience. Disney World is a bit bigger, but we still enjoyed our time in Disneyland. 13 hours and over 20k steps. Experienced some longer wait times than what the app told us but it was ok. There are two rides that were temporarily closed but we eventually got on them.

  • 5/5 Ross H. 9 months ago on Google
    It's the original and in my opinion the best castle park in the US. There is so much detail in everything. There is also a good amount of exclusive attractions here which are not in Florida. Highly recommended, even if just for the day!

  • 5/5 Beast Mode 3. 9 months ago on Google
    Place where MAGIC Happens! Word of advice: Be nice to your bank account and bring your own snacks/meals. Only buy specialty food once a day. Take breaks by watching a parade or going to the tiki room show (AC stays blasting). Most importantly, have fun making memories!

    We had a great experience at Disneyland this past Easter (2023). We have an 8 yo, 6 yo, 3 yo, and a 4mo old. It was fun because nearly all of the rides we could all do and a couple of them we could all do minus the infant. It was a fun experience all around. We love the variety at the Disneyland park and all the great rides. I highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the mobile app prior to arriving at the park. You use it for everything. You can even preorder food from most of the vendors using the app. It is worth spending the money to have the Genie+ feature that allows you to reserve the lightning lane for the specific ride so that you can just walk right up to the shorter line and get on the right quicker. It's a huge deal for when you have young kids who do not have the patience to wait in longer lines. We still got to experience everything we wanted to because of it. Overall a great time at the most magical place on Earth! 😁

    Too busy. Expect 45min+ to get on some rides. Be prepared to spend over half the day at the "happiest place on earth" standing in line. They should be restricting the amount of people let in per day. But it's all about that money. Otherwise good fun and clean.

    First time to Disneyland. It was a ton of fun! Loved the layout better than Disney world. Characters were much more interactive. Not to crowded. Food was delicious

    Went to the Blue Bayou for dinner to celebrate my birthday. The meal was great, however, looks like I could've used my annual pass for a discount, and our waiter didn't tell us. We found out because the waiter for the table next to us asked the party if anyone had an annual pass.

    I wouldn't call my family a hardcore "Disney Family" but it's impossible to deny the magic you feel at Disneyland. We went for several days over Thanksgiving this year and it was our first time being at the park for the holiday season. It was awesome. The little holiday themed twists on rides, decor, music, performances, etc. were just great and made it feel all the more magical. We'll be back again for the holidays in another year or two.

    Went on 11-21-22 was perfect. Best weather I've ever had going to Disneyland. They've refreshed the small rides like Peter Pan , Snow White, they look a lot better with more vibrant colors.

  • 5/5 Desiree M. 5 months ago on Google
    Went on a holiday, it was super crowded but still very enjoyable. Ordering food on the app was new for me, but it saved time to wait in line. Except at the ice cream place on Main Street, it's better to wait in line there. The pick-up line is longer than the regular line.

  • 5/5 Valerie W. 1 year ago on Google
    We had such a great time!! 👍🏼 👍🏼 Enjoyed the Halloween decor. Loved the Holiday Haunted Mansion and the Halloween show on the castle with Jack, the Pumpkin King. We had a few 1st timers with us. They enjoyed it very much, even if some were adults 😀 It was different using the Genie+ app. but once you got used to it, navigating through it was a breeze. On-line ordering is great!!!
