Tips & Other Information

Tips to beat the lines!
  • Lines 13, 20, or 21 move fastest at the Disneyland entrance.
  • Adults riding with kids.
    1. Example 1: If Mom wants to ride Space Mountain but Dad and kids do not, mom can use the                   
                               single rider line which is much shorter.
    1. Example 2: Mom and Dad both want to ride Space Mountain but they have an infant who can't.
                                 All 3 wait in line and when they get to the front, tell the staff you want to trade off. Mom    
                                 rides first while Dad and baby wait; when Mom is done, Dad takes her seat and rides
                                 immediately.
  • Lines that move quickly even though they look crowded: Haunted Mansion, Buzz Lightyear, Pirates of the Carribbean, Jungle Cruise, Indiana Jones, and Tower of Terror.
  • When the park opens, work your way backwards through the rides instead of stopping at the first attraction you get to. You will beat most of the crowds.
  • ToonTown: Go right when the park opens.
  • Adventureland: Go at night.
  • Matterhorn: The line that wraps around the Tomorrowland side is almost always shorter.
  • New Orleans Square: Go a couple hours before closing.
  • The line for Dumbo takes forever but you just have to do it or your kids will never forgive you. Go right when the park opens for the shortest wait.
  • Ride at dinnertime. Most people eat dinner between 4-6 pm, so lines will be shorter.
  • Ride during parades. Catch the parade at some point but take advantage of shorter lines too.
  • FastPass. It's a free ticket system within Disneyland that will save you tons of time. 
  • Enter early. Show up at least a half hour before opening and bring something for your kids to do while you stand in line.
  • Take an afternoon break. Spend the afternoon at your hotel, when the park is most crowded. When you return, the lines for the small children's rides will be much shorter.
  • The Disneyland Train does a circle around the park, so use it for transportation.
  • Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are the least crowded days at Disneyland.
  • Don't get stuck in the parade! Know what time they start so you can get out of there if you don't plan to watch it, or you'll be trapped.
  • Start with Adventureland and move around the park in a clockwise direction.  I've been told this helps cut down all the criss-crossing through the park so many times.  Also, most people tend to go counter-clockwise (for example they start with Tomorrowland).  So you somehow seem to deal with less crowds if you go clockwise.
