One-Day, Two-Parks Plan: Part 1 of 2 (Starting in DCA)

Disney California Adventure Park

arrow
Enter via Main Entrance

Plan Summary

This plan is for groups who wish to visit both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in one day. Most of the major/must see attractions are included for each park. The plan starts you off in DCA with Soarin', switching over to Disneyland in the afternoon, and finishing the night with Disneylands fireworks spectacular. Currently Disneyland Resort requires visitors to wait until 11:00 AM to park hop.

On busier days some attractions, especially headliners, may need to be skipped. Warning: The one-day, two-parks plan is intense and requires a lot of walking.

Additional Notes

This is Part 1 of a 1-day plan. See Part 2 at Disneyland.
