DISNEYLAND
FIND HAPPINESS AT THE HAPPIEST PLACE
Disneyland’s tagline is “The Happiest Place on Earth.” Of course, many factors can determine whether this is true or not. The best way to have happy in your day is to be prepared. Be prepared for crowds…for waits…for spending way too much coin…and most importantly, be prepared for a ton of fun. These recommendations will help to make the most of your day and hopefully help you find some happiness.
I also recommend paying extra for the Lightning Lane. This blog has some great tips about making the most of it. Also, ask if there is a single rider for rides with long waits. Sometimes this can save you all kinds of time by doing this.
