Visiting Disneyland: A Dream Come True

The first step to planning your trip to Disneyland is to decide when you want to go. The park is open year-round, but the busiest times are typically during the summer months, spring break, and Christmas holidays. If you can, avoid these times if you want to avoid crowds.

Once you've decided on a date, you'll need to purchase park tickets. Tickets can be purchased online or at the park gates. There are different types of tickets available, so be sure to choose the one that's right for you.

In addition to park tickets, you'll also want to consider purchasing food and beverage passes, Genie+ lightning lane access, and parking passes. These can all be purchased in advance online or at the park.

There are eight themed lands to explore at Disneyland:

• Main Street, U.S.A.: This iconic land is modeled after an early 20th-century American town. Be sure to ride the Disneyland Railroad, which takes you on a tour of the entire park.
