Start Here When Planning A Disneyland Vacation
There is so much information out there about Disneyland that it can be a bit overwhelming for those who want to know where to start. While it may be fun to look up the 20 best foods to try while at the parks if you skip the steps about buying tickets and making reservations, you won’t ever get to try them. So this episode of the Disneyland with Kids Podcast is your “Start Here” guide for planning your vacation.
If you are already a Disneyland pro, bookmark this episode to send to friends planning their vacation so that you don’t have to write out 20 pages of notes.
