Did you know there’s a pandemic? Kinda hard to miss these days

I had already planned on writing this but truly right as I began outlining, I checked my phone and Disneyland announced they will be closing starting March 14th until the end of the month. And as more and more reports roll out, it’s been recommended to stay in, and distance yourself from others if possible.

But not to fret! Kat, Stephen, and I have incorporated lots of things into our everyday lives to keep the Disney magic alive and well even if we’re not in the parks and I’m going to share those ideas with you. You won’t even notice the crushing loneliness (JUST JOKING!).

It might be a bummer if it starts to rain on your Disneyland vacation, but that rain cloud has a serious silver lining: smaller crowds. So if you’re not afraid of a little rain, I suggest you embrace the weather and enjoy the space and lighter crowds. I’ve got a bunch of tips and helpful info so you can fully prepare and use the rain to your advantage.

We’re all looking to save a lil coin when planning out a Disney vacation, so I present to you, dear reader, a list of some lesser known A+ money saving tips (and maybe a more common tip or two, but they actually work so I’m sharing again).  Just promise you’ll use all your spare cash to enjoy more churros.

I love food I love breakfast I love Disneyland. And because of that I’ve tried all the different breakfast options at Disneyland and I’ve also read a lot of other blog posts/ social media posts recommending different breakfast spots in Disneyland and not to be *that* person but I disagree with pretty much all of said posts. And not to also be *that* person saying those people are wrong and I’m right but I’m pretty sure I’m right on at least this one thing. 

Holidays in Disneyland start November 8 and run through January 6. They flip from Halloween to Christmas pretty fast, that giant pumpkin turns into a christmas tree in the blink of an eye. They tend to start putting snow on the castle before Halloween is done with. With the holiday switch up comes a new flood of crowds, events, parades, shows, themes, overlays, and last but certainly not least, food. So let’s jump in.

Disneyland starts their Halloween celebrations beginning September 6th and run through October 31st. They roll out decorations, characters in costumes, ride and land overlays, themed fireworks show, lots of food, the ticketed Halloween party and a lot more!

Disneyland and Disney World are SUCH different beasts. I know for Disney World there’s so much planning ahead of time which can be pretty stressful. Disneyland doesn’t require quite as much planning, but there are definitely some things to keep in mind and plan for so you can have a fun and successful trip. I’m here to give you a full rundown! From airports to hotels to ticket options to food and so. much. more.  This could also be helpful for anyone planning a first trip in general, so give it a peek and comment below with any questions.

What are the best shoes for disneyland? Or pants? How do you make sure you’re comfortable for a 16 hour day walking around in changing weather and/or eating your weight in pretzels?

Y’all, I’ve been doing a years-long test-run to find an A+ collection of things to help get me through the day at the Land comfortably and also not looking like I’m going to run a marathon. Which is fine if it’s your thing! But when I’ve searched for recommendations in the past, athletic wear is usually what takes up ALL the lists, which can get frustrating for a person who doesn’t really love to live in athleisure wear.
