Creator's Key Takeaways

mobile order in Disneyland is a game Cher don't want to wait in a really long standby line and to order your Quick Service food then just order it on the Disneyland app

Trader Sam's Enchanted Tiki Bar does take Advanced dining reservations so you can secure your spot at this very popular bar ahead of time

use package delivery we have been begging and pleading for Disney World to bring back their package delivery service to hotels but Disneyland has answered the call for help

the Disneyland owned hotels are super convenient to stay in especially since each of them will put you only steps away from both of the parks
