What parents say
"Truly a magical time with the family at Disneyland! It is quite an investment but I am always amazed at how wonderful the experience is for myself and my family when we go to the park! The app is very well designed and helps you stay on track as well as order food and manage your lightning passes! Definitely make sure that you plan out your passes and rides throughout the day if you want to feel like you maximized your time at the park. One of our recommendations is to take time to go back to your room and nap if you need to! Even just a little down time during the middle of your trip. Not eve"

"Disney for the first time ever was a very magical experience. The guests and cast members there had wished me a happy birthday. I felt so welcomed and loved here. A dream is really a wish that your heart makes. I'm just so glad that I was able to finally experience it. I can't wait to go back and do it all over again. A one day trip to Disney is definitely worth the money."
