Park Information

____________________________________________________________

Complete Disneyland Resort information, including operating hours for specific attractions, restaurants and stores is available at Disneyland Information Centers. There is a Disneyland Information Center on Main Street and there is the Central Plaza Information Center which also posts wait times for many of Disneyland's attractions as well as show and parade times for the day. It's right there at the Central Plaza. You

can't miss it. For further Disneyland Park information, please call (714) 781-4565. You can also check out the official Disneyland Resort site which will let you know of the specifics for the day you wish to visit. When one gets to the park, much of the information on this page can be found in the Disneyland Today handout. But why wait? Wouldn't you really rather read about it here first? Don't forget about Guest Services located to the left of the park entrance. They can help you out with issues that you may have.

If you are visiting from out of town this may be a perfect package for you. While not specifically listed at this time, the single day ticket has become a dual park ticket as well.

There's no question that we all hate this part. But there really isn't anything that we can do about it. It's all for the better right? We just have a little bit of refurbishment pain for the moment for a nice payoff later when the attraction looks and functions better than it did before. I just hate it when I have friends or family visit that haven't been to the park in 10 years and attractions like Indiana Jones are closed. Don't you hate that too?

Baby Care Center:

This center is located on the northeast end of Main Street. It provides facilities for preparing formulas, warming bottles, nursing and changing diapers. Yum. The center also offers numerous baby sundries for purchase. Diaper machines and changing tables are located in most men's and women's rest rooms throughout the park. No kids yet for me, and I have yet to visit a center.
-Hosted by Nestle Carnation Baby Formulas-

Banking:

For those of you who need just a little bit more cash, there are ATMs strategically placed throughout Disneyland to help you out with that. Basic banking services are provided at the Bank of Main Street. Foreign currency may also be exchanged there at the current exchange rate. Money... Gotta have it. Make sure you get enough out for me too.

Credit Cards:

Visa is the official card of Disneyland and is accepted just about everywhere I can think of. They will also accept Discover, Mastercard, American Express, the Disney Credit Card and JCB. But I suppose there can be only one official credit card, right? Traveler's checks and of course cash are also widely accepted.

Disneyland Kennel Club:

So you're on vacation and you brought Spot with you. It's all good. The Kennel Club is located just east of the Disneyland Main Entrance. There are however no facilities for overnight accommodations. So don't leave Spot behind. He will be angry.

Disneyland Resort Tickets:

If you purchase a single day admission, it will allow you to visit only one theme park on a particular day. If you need to leave for whatever reason you may have, just remember to get your hand stamped and you can return with no worries. You will need to show your ticket again too. Maybe you suddenly remembered that you left your headlights on or something.

If you purchase a Multi-Day Park Hopper ticket, it will allow you to visit both Disneyland and California Adventure on a particular day. If you exit, remember to get your hand stamped and remember to hold on to your ticket. You will need to show both your ticket and your hand stamp to enter California Adventure or return to Disneyland.

FastPass Service:

There are a number of attractions here at the park that support Disney's FastPass system. FastPass is a way for you to "hold" your place in line while you go off and do other things. It's really easy to use and it can cut down on a lot of waiting time. There are no extra fees so you would be crazy to not take advantage of the service. FastPass is available at the following attractions:

Autopia
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Haunted Mansion
Indiana Jones Adventure
Pirates of the Caribbean

Roger Rabbit's Car Toon Spin
Space Mountain
Splash Mountain
Star Tours

Make sure that you have your ticket or pass in hand and approach the nearby distribution center for the attraction you are interested in. Insert your ticket and you will receive a FastPass that will tell you when you should return. Return during your designated time window and enter the FastPass entrance instead of the StandBy entrance and you're all set. You'll be on in no time. Just remember that you can't go around the park and grab a bunch of passes all at once. Look at the bottom of your FastPass ticket and you can see when you can get another one.

Guests With Young Children:

There is a service Disneyland offers guests with very young children that is often overlooked. Parents may take turns experiencing an attraction while still staying with the child and not waiting in a line twice. Child swapping is very convenient so ask a Cast Member at the attraction for assistance.

Guided Tours:

There are two tours available to choose from if you are interested in taking one. The first is the "Red Carpet Experience" which gives you a basic introduction to Disneyland and California Adventure. The second tour is titled "A Walk in Walt's Footsteps" which takes a much more detailed and historical look at the park through the eyes of Walt Disney. There are tours available on a daily basis and tickets are sold at Guest Relations and at the Main Entry Plaza Ticket Booths. All tours are subject to availability of course. I've never taken either one, so I don't have much to say about them.

Lockers:

Lockers are available for your convenience both inside the park and outside the park. On busy days they can go pretty fast, so if you plan on getting one you might want to get it early. Go ahead because you can keep the same locker all day long for one price. The system is pretty cool. Approach the control center and pay for your locker. It will then open your corresponding locker and give you a password instead of a key to hold onto. Be prepared to spend $4 on a locker.

Lost Guests:

Little ones who are under the age of 10 will be helped along to Lost Children which is located next to First Aid. If you are over the age of 10, you can leave a message at City Hall or the Guest Relations Lobby. You could try a message in a bottle, but you probably won't get the results you are looking for.

Package Check Service:

With this service, guests can shop throughout Disneyland and then have any purchases made sent to the Main Entrance Newsstand, Tomorrowland's Premiere Shop, or the Pioneer Mercantile in Frontierland for pickup later in the day. Disneyland generally asks for at least two hours between a purchase and a pickup. Guests of the Resort Hotels may also request that purchases be delivered to Bell Services for pickup on the following day after 7 in the morning. There are some restrictions so go ahead and ask any store Cast Member for details.

Picnic Area:

Disney officials request that no food or beverages be brought into Disneyland. A picnic area is located west of the Main Entrance for the convenience of those who decide to bring food in the form of say... a picnic lunch.

Prepaid Cards:

There are vending machines available that offer AT&T Prepaid Cards in Disneyland. They are located inside the Main Street locker area and at the Starcade in Tomorrowland.

Resort Lost & Found:

Out of all the places you can go if you lose something, I would say that this is the best. The Lost & Found for the Resort is actually located outside of the park just east of the California Adventure Main Entrance.

Safety Considerations:

One must admit, Disneyland works pretty hard to offer a comfortable, safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. Please abide by all safety warnings and notices. If there are any questions or problems, please see a Cast Member. Also, do everyone a favor and show common courtesy to fellow park guests. Please be respectful of others. Disneyland asks guests to not use profanity or engage in unsafe, illegal, or offensive behavior. And please abide by all the safety warnings and notices. Proper attire (including shoes and shirts) must be worn at all times in Disneyland.

For your safety while on attractions, please keep your hands, arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times. Stay seated until instructed otherwise. Young children should be accompanied by an adult. Parents... Please keep your young kids under control. There is no denying that Disneyland is for fun, but at the same time, people don't want to be run down by a screaming out-of-control 5 year-old.

At parade time, please honor designated viewing areas and crosswalks. I've seen Cast Members work very hard at to ensure a safe performing arena for everyone. Even if it might be fun at the time, please do not make things too difficult.

Smoking:

For the comfort of all guests, smoking is prohibited in all waiting areas, attractions, stores, dining areas, rest rooms, and locations designed for parade and stage show viewing. Cough... ackk... gag... As if there aren't worse things in the air than second hand smoke, right? So if you smoke, just do it in the designated areas only. These spots are located on the park map or feel free to ask a Cast Member where to go.

Strollers:

A limited number of strollers are available for rental. Strollers cannot be accomodated on many attractions.

Touring & Travel Service Center:

This center is located on Main Street and provides AAA services to members which include hotel reservations. All Disneyland Resort guests may receive stalled car services, flat tire changing, and towing with no additional fee. Scream out loud for a Disneyland Cast Member to assist you when you are in need of one of the above services.
-Operated by the Automobile Club of Southern California-

Wheelchairs & Services for Guests with Disabilities:

For complete information, please refer to the Guidebook for Guests with Disabilities available at Park Information Centers. It's a wonderful guidebook that I've never read. An audio tape tour of Disneyland, the Disneyland Park Braille Guidebook and written aids for many Disneyland attractions are available for use while visiting the park. Please visit City Hall for assistance.

There are a limited number of wheelchairs and Electric Convenience Vehicles available to rent just inside the Main Entrance. Guest must be at least 18 years of age to rent or operate an Electric Convenience Vehicle. They are available for a small fee and there is also a refundable deposit required.

I would love to hear any comments that might be brewing inside. Some visitors may enjoy this site and the presentation. But I also have no doubt that many will react with complete and utter horror and as a result, run screeching away from the visions presented before them. Or perhaps I'm simply missing something that you feel should be here. Let me know what you think...
