Trip Planning: Everything You Need to Know!

March 28, 2013 in All Posts, disney california adventure, disneyland, Jessica, summer, Tips & Tricks for Families, Travel Tips by Jessica McConnel

Summer break isn’t too far away; only a couple more months and it will be upon us! Which means that it’s time now to start making your summer vacation plans. Vacation! 

If your family has decided to head to Disneyland this summer then this is your one-stop-shop for everything you need to to plan your trip!

Which Admission Ticket Is Right For You? See a comprehensive list of ticket options and prices for different lengths of stay, single park days, park hoppers, adults, and children – and more.

Should You Fly or Drive to Disneyland? What? You don’t live in Southern California? Me neither – here are the options to weigh when you are deciding whether to purchase some plane tickets or take a good old fashioned road trip.


Choosing the Right Hotel. Location, cost, pool, continental breakfast… Here are some things to thing about when trying to decide which hotel to stay at, and some tips when sharing a room with small children. Also, check out these articles for more info on specific hotels: No one wants to sleep on the freeway, Top 5 reasons to stay at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, Top 5 reasons to stay at the Paradise Pier Hotel, & Love for the Disneyland Hotel.


Planning for a Large Group Visit. If you have a large family, or are hoping to visit the Disneyland Resort with a big group of extended family or friends, this article gives you a few tips on how to plan a little differently than if you were going with a small group.

Preparing the Kids. Here are some ways to get the kids pumped up and prepared for a vacation to Disneyland. Check out these links for more ideas to make things extra special before and after you get there: Surprise Treat Bags, Countdown Calendar,  Personalized Disney Themed T-Shirts, & Personalized Leather Bracelets. 


Packing for Your Trip. Ugh, packing – my least favorite part of any vacation (other than unpacking), but I’ve had a lot of practice at it – so are the tips I’ve learned for effective packing for either car trips or by airplane, and a printable copy of the packing lists I use for trip to Disneyland. Here, here, and here are a couple more articles on what to pack for in the parks, and when you forget to pack something read this. 

Tackling the Traveling. This may be the thing that stresses parents out the most, in regards to vacations – getting there. All you can do is hope they don’t have a meltdown 30,000 feet in the air, or 5 hours into your 15 hour drive – right? Well, although the attitude is mostly up to the kid, here are some things that can help keep kids happy during your travels.

And since I haven’t given you enough to think about yet, here and here are just a few more articles with helpful tips for vacation planning!

Everybody here on Babes in Disneyland loves to plan visits to Disneyland, and anyone of us would be more than willing to help you if you have any questions – just leave us a comment on the blog or see here for more ways to contact us!
