And they had every right to question my sanity.
As it turned out, they were wrong.
That included hitting up the ever-helpfulmousesavers.comto check for any available discounts.
To be honest, these are the normal steps I take foranyDisneyland trip.
If you still have questionsor want to browse through even more Disneyland informationI recommend checking out the parksMoms Panel.
Ask away, though odds are good your question has probably already been addressed.
The Disney Moms are quite thorough.
Pick some random winter day when most kids are in school.
So, what days and times are best?
There areentirewebsitesdedicatedto thisveryanalysis, and youre free to cross-reference them as you see fit.
This gives me a headache, I confess.
Instead, I look at Disneylandsblackout datesfor annual passholders.
If Disneyland doesnt want its superfans to come to the park, its going to be a busy day.
Where should you stay?
Otherwise, youll be playing the hotel game.
How do I get cheap tickets?
Your interests can change.
Lines can impact your day.
Give yourself the flexibility to do whatever you want; pay up for that park-hopper.
You arent going to find some super-magical summer deal that scores you a ticket for half-off.
Disneyland is smarter than that.
One item I will always splurge for, however, is a DisneylandMaxPass.
One item I will always splurge for, however, is a Disneyland MaxPass.
Repeat that for every ride you want to go on.
So much so, you wont be able to imagine life without it once you nail it.
The MaxPass comes with some caveats, of course.
This is like a FastPass for your stomach.
Not every food location at Disneyland supports mobile ordering, butplenty do.
The Play Disney Parks app is fun, but…
I do love some Disney trivia.
Its not a necessity for your Disneyland experiencewith one important caveat.

Godspeed to all of you.
How about some tips forStar Wars: Galaxys Edge?
So, heres the thing.
I was fastidious, but also a little lucky.

They (or their kids) might sleep in, however, which will give you a slight advantage.
So, youre on the same equal footing as everyone else in line for the park.
Instead, be smart, and start lining up for the main gate around, oh, 7:30 a.m.?
This reservation system has pros and cons.
Those are the Disney breaks; it beats suffering 10 hours for a ride or drink, I suppose.
Star Wars: Galaxys Edgeis a beautiful addition to Disneyland that anyStar Warsfan is sure to love.
Will your geeky life be ruined if you cant book the Cantina this time around?
If they sell out of thermal-detonator Coke?
If you cant scorea Spira gift card?
Itll be disappointing; Ill give you that.
Batuu aint going anywhere anytime soon.
If the lines are insane, be smart; go do something else.
Itll still be there in six months.
Itll still be there in two years.
The lines for the experience?
I didnt shed a single tear for missing out on this the first time I went.
Youll be fine, too, if you dont get that picture with Chewie this time around.
(I didnt either.)
