How to Save Time and Money at Disneyland

Planning a trip to Disneyland? If you'll be heading off to The Happiest Place On Earth this year, as will millions of others, you will likely love the atmosphere and be sorry to see your time there come to an end. Here are some tips, from a family of veteran Disneyland-goers, that might help you hold on to a little more of your cash, get more out of the time you spend there, and hopefully avoid some tears of frustration!

My husband, children, and I, used to live just minutes from Disneyland. So, for two years straight, we purchased Annual Passes, and literally jaunted over to Our Favorite Place On Earth about twice a week, on average. After 100+ trips to both Disneyland and California Adventure, we have become quite skilled at enjoying our most beloved destination without going broke, wasting precious time, or needing to calm or entertain fussy, bored children in line. This may seem impossible, especially considering the fact that we had three children, ages ranging from 5 months to 11 years, with us on each and every one of these visits to the theme parks. But it isn't as difficult to achieve as you may think. A little planning, a small amount of effort before you pull out of the driveway, and these tips, and you'll be on your way to enjoying Disneyland with less expense, wisely used time, and happier campers all around!
