Disneyland Park

Plan Summary

This Touring Plan is selective, including only attractions that, in the author's opinion, represent the best Disneyland Park has to offer. Assumes a willingness to experience all major rides (including roller coasters) and shows.

Additional Notes

Be forewarned that this plan requires a lot of walking and some backtracking; this is necessary to avoid long waits in line. A little extra walking coupled with some hustle in the morning will save you 2-3 hours of standing in line. Note that you might not complete this tour. How far you get will depend on the size of your group, how quickly you move from ride to ride, how many times you pause for rest or food, how quickly the park fills, and what time the park closes. With a little zip and some luck, it is possible to complete the touring plan even on a busy day when the park closes early.

The steps include the following attractions, shown here in random order:
