Planning Your Visit

Disneyland's Iconic Main Street Train Depot

Disneyland's Iconic Main Street Train Depot


Disneyland is one of the most interesting vacation destinations for people of all ages.  If you are contemplating a vacation, I hope this section helps get your planning headed in the right direction to make your stay an exciting and stress free experience.


If you haven’t had the privilege of visiting Disneyland, you are in for a special treat.  Once you enter the gates of the Disneyland Park, you should check your real world worries at the gate and allow yourself to absorb the atmosphere and immerse yourself in the experience.


If you have kids, there is nothing more special than watching the glee and excitement generated from their hearts and souls as they squeal with emotion the first time they experience Mickey Mouse or an exciting ride.  The experience is truly priceless and something you will cherish for the rest of your life.


The thing I love the most about Disneyland is the immersion factor when you are in the park or even within the Disneyland Resort hotels.  It seems that once you enter Disneyland, the ambiance and atmosphere will eventually trigger the kid in all of us.  You will find you are less worried about the economy, your stressful job or any other troubles you have, and you will become immersed into the genius of Walt Disney and Disneyland.


In the next few pages, I hope you find the information you need to plan the vacation you desire.  I remember as a kid going to Disneyland and trying to balance the excitement and the awe of where do I start.  As a parent visiting the first time, the overwhelming experience can be the same for you.  The information contained in the planning section will hopefully give you the comfort and insight to feel like you know what to expect on your vacation.  It also includes air travel, transportation, tickets, hotels, and special services available in and around Disneyland.
