Creator's Key Takeaways

No one wants to do a Disney park the wrong way. So, we're showing you what we would have done differently in Disneyland if we had the chance to do our first trips all over again.

Disneyland's park hopping restrictions have been kicked to the curb, you can start your park hopping adventures as early as you want to.

If you want to save your money and skip the $34 per person per day multipass purchase, I'd recommend rope dropping those parks.

I do not know why we can't do this in Epcot. I'm sure they have their reasons, but I wish they would change them.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use the Monorail station in Downtown Disney to skip the main gate queue and enter via Tomorrowland.

✓Book Disneyland After Dark and Oogie Boogie Bash tickets early as they sell out fast.

✓Link third-party tickets to your Disneyland account via the app to make park reservations.

✓Rope drop the parks to avoid peak crowds and save money on Lightning Lane Multi Pass.

✓Order all festival food items at a single booth using one receipt to save time at DCA festivals.

✓Consider 'Good Neighbor' hotels outside the bubble to save money while staying within walking distance.
