Of cores there is no “Right way” but… There’s always, my way! Disneyland for me is easy because it’s only an hour plane ride away. But if you’re like me here is my way: At D.P.A, (Disney Parks Ace) We think that the best times to go are always the second week of December, and the third or fourth week of April. They are both weeks that have less crowds than Christmas break and summer. Any way last time we said that we love to stay at the Disneyland Hotel.

But if you must, or are only going with 2 people instead of 3 or 4 we recommend the Grand Californian Hotel and Spa.

Allow me to explain. The Disneyland Hotel is all the way at the end of Downtown Disney, which means it a longer walk, and since there are no cast members around except on the monorail, you have to walk a very far walk just to get back to the hotel. At the Grand, not only are you 5 minutes away from Disneyland Park, you also have your own entrance to Disney’s California Adventure, which is probably why it’s more expensive. So after school on Friday you immediately go to the airport and hop on your plane to SNA or John Wayne Airport. It is the easiest to go from SNA to Disneyland that any other airport.

Nighttime Experience:

So when you get there check, into the hotel and go into the park. Which park? Well it depends on what kind of Nighttime show you like. Disneyland Park will have 2 shows by spring, and as of right now 1. They will be The Main Street electrical Parade,

and the fireworks Fantasy in the Sky. F.S is the only show in Disneyland Park right now.

The Main Street Electrical Parade is awesome, but in my opinion the Fantasy in The Sky fireworks are not that good. I know that they the show is charming as the first firework show ever done by Disney but, It has not stood the test of time. Heck its FOUR MINUTES LONG! Even Wishes is 12 minutes!

But If you Don’t like fireworks you can see The Wonderful World Of Color, A marvel of earth sea and sky! Or just sea, and light, and fire.

World of color is not great but its good and worth seeing… Once.  But after that the park is closed so you can’t have an extra 2 hours in the park. But that’s the end of day 1, See our next post about day 2.
