30 hour Disneyland trip...what tips should I know about?

[ajollyholidaywithjo]

I'm traveling to Disneyland in April, in the hopes of catching Splash Mountain one last time before it closes. I will be in Disneyland for 30 hours! I fly in early, I'll go straight to the parks, stay until close, sleep for a bit, back to the parks early morning, and then I'll leave mid-day to catch a flight back home.

As of right now, I'm planning to stay at the Hilton Anaheim, so I can utilize the Toy Story parking shuttle. Is this a decent place to stay? I'll only be there for a few hours to sleep.

I plan to get a Park Hopper, so I can see World of Color on the Night I come in, even though most of the day will be spent at Disneyland.

I will be utilizing DAS, so I'm hoping that will help with rides and such. I've been to Disneyland before, so I know which rides I really want to do. I'm wondering if it's even worth it to do any of the Star Wars rides? From what I've heard, they're basically identical to the ones in WDW.

Anything else I should prioritize or consider? This is going to be a crazy trip, but I'm really looking forward to it!

If you have already done Galaxy's Edge at WDW, you can absolutely skip it in Disneyland. It's a carbon copy clone in terms of what is there.
