It's a Small World After All: AAA Offers Insider Tips about Disney

The happiest place on earth can also be…overwhelming. To get the most out of your next Disney adventure, AAA's Disney expert is revealing insider theme park tips and tricks.  

Best Place to Stay
There are several perks-especially for families-to staying at one of the Disneyland® resort hotels. Guests can enter the parks 30 minutes before the general public, enjoy the convenience of a private entrance into Disney California Adventure ™ and Extra Magic Hours, which allows early admission to both parks. Guests can also enjoy the convenience of having purchases from select Disney shops delivered to their guest room. Additional park property perks include Disney character wake-up calls and early access to World of Color.

Don't Miss a Memory
Disney's new PhotoPass+ option allows park guests to get all photos taken by Disney's PhotoPass photographers, select attraction photos and dining photos.  Guests can view all their photos online and order a CD that contains high resolution photos which can be used to print photos at any photo processing center. This package costs $99.95 when purchased at the resort or $69.95 when purchased online prior to arrival.

Pack a Snack…or Two
Guests are permitted to bring a variety of food items, (snacks, water, sandwiches, etc.) into  Disneyland® and Disney California Adventure ™. While there aren't many restrictions on bringing food into the park, there are a few on how you carry it in (i.e. no full size coolers). For storage of these items throughout the day, guests may consider renting a locker at the park.
