Creator's Key Takeaways

Disneyland's got some big surprises up its sleeve for 2026, and we cannot wait to share everything there is to know about visiting this OG park in the new year today on DFB Guide.

Paint the Night did take a break for a while to let the holiday parades take their turn in the park. But on January 30th, it'll be back and ready to dazzle guests again for however long it decides to stick around for.

I have always preferred Disneyland food to Disney World food. Why? I don't know. Maybe it's an element of not having to feed quite as many masses as Disney World has to feed.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Rope drop Fantasy Land to hit all the back-to-back rides with minimum wait times.

✓Check the Disneyland app for Toontown schedule before visiting, as it closes before fireworks.

✓Visit the observation outpost at the end of the dock for a high-definition live feed of the Finding Nemo submarine voyage if you can't ride.

✓Arrive early in the morning and lock in your ride schedule from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for a better crowd experience.
