Disneyland Resort Itinerary

Arrival at John Wayne Airport at 11:30am 20 min Lyft over to Hilton located right outside of DLR Walked to DLR busing and bused over to the entrance to the parks and Downtown Disney Had lunch at Ballast Point Brewery Wandered around Downtown Disney Walked over to Disneyland Hotel Snacked and drank at Trader Joe’s Walked back to Downtown Disney Explored Grand Californian Rested by the fire at Grand Californian Rode bus back to parking lot and walked back to the hotel for the night!

Early alarm to catch an Uber over to Grand Californian and our room was ready!! Walked down to lobby and over to the entrance to California Adventure straight from our hotel. Early Entry allowed for us to be in line for Radiator Racers before the park even opened. We spent the remainder of the morning in Avenger’s Campus, where I found a new favorite ride, Guardians of the Galaxy: Breakout. Later, we walked back to the room to rest and then hopped on over to Disneyland. Dinner at Blue Bayou where the scallops were phenomenal. Finished our our night with fireworks viewing from the area near Its a Small World and then drinks at Oga’s Cantina!

Early morning again to catch Early Entry at Disneyland. Walked to the monorail where it drops you right inside the park. Started our day with the cutest area, Toon Town! We met up with Mickey and then ran into a TON of characters (Genie, Moana, Cap Hook, Pinocchio, and more) just roaming the park. Character breakfast at Plaza Inn where we met more characters in one sitting than one can imagine to include Powerline Max and THE best Tigger EVER. Watched the parade where the music and characters are on point! Hopped over to California Adventure where we had dinner at Lamplight Lounge and watched World of Color!

Our last day and we definitely had to end it with Early Entry by walking straight into the park from our hotel. Started our day again with Radiator Racers where we were off the ride within 15 min of the park opening. Headed over to one last ride on Guardians and Incredicoaster. Spent most of our day at Pixar Pier then off to the hotel for hot tub time to help soothe our sore feet. Later, we ended our trip with dinner at Cafe Orleans and a trip around the park on the railroad.
