Help me Planning 1 day at Disneyland

[momo45210]

Hi!!! I'm from Thailand and a biggest fan of Disney

I have 1 day for Disneyland(actually I wanna do both parks but I really don't have time) So I can make to only 1 park which I chose the original one. I will arrive at LAX in 7.40(and have to spend an hour for LAX) and will take Disneyland Resort express(which I will buy from GAT) and maybe will arrive at Disneyland around 10.30(which I will buy the Disneyland ticket online) So I really have to speed up in Disneyland to get all best DL attraction. So I want to ask you all which one should I go first or what I can't miss, the strategies for this visit(including FASTPASS obtaining) because maybe I have to leave the park by 6pm to Hollywood(because there is no metrolink after 6.30pm)

Pls help me!!!

I think your planning is going very well.

Can you take Amtrak, and to Union Station then the Subway to Hollywood? Just to hepl you stay later.


As far as attractions. Have you been to any Disney Parks before? You may want to skip some that are the same or similiar, and do ones that are very different from rides you have been on before.

Also in addition to FastPass for getting in more rides during your visit also use the single rider lines on Splash Mountain and Indiana Jones.

Try to find out how each ride you are going to ride handles the line for single riders.

Are you doing this by yourself or will you have travel partners?

If there are any shows you want to see, you can work the rides around them.

Since you are there only one day you might want a hopper ticket. It will give you the opportunity to at least walk through and see Ca Adventure too. The Aladdin Show is one thing my family really enjoys. The kids were willing to stand in the line and see the show three times the last time we were there.

The Express may not be running that often when you are ready to head to the park and could delay your arrival to Disneyland. Check into shuttle companies. Or you might even want to take a cab. Yellow cab has a flat rate of $80 from LAX to Disneyland.

Anyone with travel time info from LAX could help you plan this part. I'm sure knowing the times for the express, shuttle and cab might influence your decision. We fly into SNA so I have no idea.

If you can, buy your admission ticket before you arrive. I would suggest going to get the fastpass for star tours first. Then ride space mountain and buzz lightyear rides. Chech the time ans see if you can use the fastpass.

If you have a smartphone use MouseWaits app to see how long the waits are for the various rides.

Thank You you all
Now I change my flight to SNA(changes from LAX) because it will cost my money and my time less.
