1 day, does it make sense to get Park Hopper?

such terrible advice. I’m out.

Can we keep it kind here?

Different opinions are not a negative.

Hello,

My family of 4 (kids are adults, 20 and 18) have 1 day to go to Disneyland before we head on a cruise. Sadly the day we have is December 27th, which I know is going to be very very busy. We are planning to get to the park for rope drop. Does it make sense to get Park Hopper? We know we will not be able to go on many rides, but are just happy to have the experience. We have been to WDW in the past, but a long time ago (kids were 12 and 10 that time).

So yes to Park Hopper? If so, then which park should we start in?

Lightening Lane passes make sense, or since it's so busy, not even worth it?

Thanks for any information.

With the ages of your kids (similar to my eldest two) I say go for park hoppers with LLMP and go from rope drop to closing. There are rides in DCA that will appeal to your kids and, for me, I'd have severe FOMO if I wasn't able to park hop for my one and only day at the parks.

Read up on how to maximize your use of LLMP and modify so you can stack them for the end of the day.

I would start at DL and move on to DCA later in the day, if only to experience the magic of entering DL and seeing the castle first thing.

Have a great trip!

Great, Thank you so much. I don't think we will be back to Disney or California even in the near future, so this advice makes sense.
