My 2 days and 2 parks LA Disneyland trip
If you’re hitting DLCA, do yourself a favor: skip the one-day rush and go TWO DAYS, TWO PARKS. Trust me, you’ll thank me when you’re not sprinting between Star Wars and Guardians of the Galaxy.
Main Park Must-Rides:
1. Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance — The most epic ride ever (thank god for Genie+; the line is always 2+ hours).
2. Matterhorn Bobsleds — Front row is a MUST! Bumpy, fast, and feels like you’re actually racing through a snowy mountain.
3. Space Mountain — Indoor coaster in the dark? Spooky and speedy. Perfect for thrill-seekers who hate the sun (me).
Adventure Park Faves:
1. Guardians of the Galaxy: Mission BREAKOUT — Screamed the whole time. Ride at sunset for stunning views of the park lights—10/10 photo op.
2. Radiator Springs Racers — The ONLY place to drift in a neon-lit canyon at dusk. Literally took my breath away (and my second ride too).
3. Soarin’ Around the World — Chilled vibes after all the coasters. Feels like you’re flying over California’s best spots (pro tip: sit front row for zero head obstruction).
How Did I Surviving 2 Days:
1. Wear comfy shoes (I rocked cute flats and blister patches).
2. Genie+ is worth every penny ($150/day saved us 3+ hours of queue).
3. Bring a refillable water bottle.
4. Grab a free “First Visit” button at guest services and cast members will shower you with magic.
5. Take your time! Meet characters, watch the 9 PM Fantasyland light show, and don’t skip the churro-topped ice cream (yes, it’s a thing).
Anyone else prefer Adventure Park for the thrills? Or have a secret spot for the best park photos?
You want extra fun? look for hidden Mickeys there all over the place, you're not sure. What I'm talking about, check it out on Google every time my cousins come down. They know almost every location. Some are even in the rides too.🥰
