11 Amazing 2 Day Disneyland Itinerary Ideas For Families

What’s a fun vacation treat for families who love to travel? How about a trip to Disneyland! Our little worldschooling family enjoyed a memorable 2 day Disneyland itinerary with members of our extended family in August 2022. And while it was a departure from our usual adventure travel, it was still epic just the same.

If you’re looking for your own epic 2 day Disney itinerary, then look no further! After coming back from our two days at Disneyland trip, I put together this list of Disneyland two day itinerary ideas to help traveling families like you make the most of their time at the happiest place on Earth.

With a little bit of planning, you can see everything Disneyland has to offer in just 48 hours. So all you have to worry about when you get there is having fun!

Top tips for a 2 day Disneyland itinerary

Want my top three tips for a great Disneyland experience when you visit Los Angeles in 2 days? Here they are:

• Stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites for the best value stay
• Take advantage of the Genie Plus service and the Single Rider Lanes
• Use the Unofficial Guide To Disney for insider tips

Where to stay for a 2 day Disneyland itinerary

In terms of lodging, the most convenient option is to stay at one of the hotels that are part of the Disneyland resort:

• Grand Californian Hotel
• Disneyland Hotel
• Paradise Pier

Most of these hotels are located near Downtown Disney, where you can find restaurants and stores for shopping. 

Alternatively, find hotels in Anaheim to stay during your 2 days at Disneyland that are either close to the park or close to the parking lots .

Hampton Inn and Suites Anaheim Resort

If you're a family that values dependability, then a stay at the Hampton Inn and Suites Anaheim Resort during your 2 day Disneyland itinerary would be a good option for you. Located in Anaheim, this hotel is conveniently located near Disneyland, so it's also a great option if you're looking for a place to stay near the park (and don't want to pay Disney prices for a room!) We stayed here in 2022, when we were visiting Disneyland, and loved how close it was to the park.

Since this hotel is part of the Hampton by Hilton chain, you'll get all the amenities that you'll find at most Hampton Inns: WiFi, in-room fridge, and free hot breakfasts. This Hampton Inn has an outdoor pool, hot tub, and a gym as well.

Rooms can accommodate families of up to 4 people. The hotel is a few minutes walk from Anaheim Garden Walk, where you'll find a wide range of restaurant options. We loved this hotel for our 2 days in Disneyland trip because it offered the best value for money.

Tropicana Inn and Suites

If you want to stay close to Disneyland, but don’t want to pay the resort fees, you can’t get much closer than Tropicana Inn and Suites. This hotel is literally across the street from Disneyland. And it’s about as old as the park, having first opened in the 1960s. It’s a Southern California institution.

Rooms at the Tropicana Inn and Suites can fit families of up to 4 people. Rooms have WiFi, TV, microwaves, and refrigerators. There’s an outdoor pool with a hot tub for relaxing at the end of those long days during your 2 day Disneyland itinerary. 

Cambria Hotel and Suites Anaheim

While not as close to Disneyland as the other hotel options, Cambria Hotel and Suites Anaheim is still a good choice for lodging during your 2 day Disneyland itinerary. It's located about a 10 minute walk from the Toy Story parking lot. And also a 10-15 minute walk from the restaurants at the Anaheim Garden Walk.

Families will enjoy Cambria Hotel and Suites for their Disneyland two day plan because rooms can accommodate families of up to 7 people. Some of these family suites have bunk beds! There's also a great outdoor pool with water slides. Breakfast is included and rooms come with free WiFi. Families visiting Disneyland can also take advantage of the theme park shuttle for a fee.

Packing ideas for a 2 day Disneyland itinerary

Be sure to pack for the weather during your 2 day Disneyland itinerary. Southern California is sunny most of the year, and if you’re walking around the parks, you’ll want to have a hat or sunscreen to protect you.

These are the things we brought along for our trip to Disneyland and California Adventure:

• KEEN Wome n ’s Newport Sandals
• GRAYL GeoPress 24 oz Water Purifier Bottle
• Cotopaxi Luzon 24L Hiking Daypack
• Panama Jack Women’s Floppy Hat
• Reef Safe Sunscreen

Also be sure to buy one of these Disneyland guide books to help prepare you for visiting Disneyland for two days.

This Disneyland park hopper itinerary has a mix of rides that will please multiple generations. 

• The Disney Gallery

Disneyland makes a big effort into making the park wheelchair accessible. Walkways are spacious and most entryways have ramps. 

If you’re a family that has special mobility needs, this 2 day Disneyland itinerary offers rides and activities that are accessible for wheelchairs. Most of the activities and rides are in Disneyland, but there are some in California Adventure park too.

• Mark Twain Riverboat

6. Itinerary for thrill seekers

Most people think that Disneyland is just for kids, but there are plenty of rides that are fun for grown-ups to enjoy too! If you’re spending two days in Disneyland without kids, or if you’re the type of family who loves thrill-rides, this 2 day Disneyland itinerary is perfect for you.

This Disneyland 2 day itinerary includes all the rollercoasters, thrill rides, and action rides found in both Disneyland and California Adventure park.

7. Low key rides and attractions

If you’re the type of family that likes to keep it low key, this 2 day Disneyland itinerary might be more of your pace. All the rides in this Disneyland suggested itinerary are slower paced, with minimal scares or drops.

This is the perfect Disneyland itinerary to introduce young kids to amusement parks in general. They’ll enjoy riding the vehicles along Main Street in Disneyland and the trolley down Buena Vista Street in California Adventure.

• Main Street Vehicles
• Sailing Ship Columbia
• Red Car Trolley

8. Itinerary for activity and adventure lovers

While both Disneyland and California Adventure park are known for their rides, there are also some more hands-on activities you can do at the parks. This 2 day Disneyland itinerary is perfect for families who prefer more active and hands-on options.

• Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes
• Savi’s Workshop - Handbuilt Lightsabers

• Jumpin’ Jellyfish

• Mater’s Junkyard Jamboree

11. Star Wars and Marvel itinerary

We love the feel of stepping into another world. We felt this way when we went to the Harry Potter studio tour in London, and we felt this way visiting Kidzania parks with our kids. So we were pleasantly surprised by the amount of world-building that happens in Disneyland.

Nowhere can you see this the most than in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge in Disneyland. Walking through this part of the park, you really do feel like you’ve been transported to a galaxy far far away!

In addition to Star Wars, you can also find a lot of Marvel world building in the California Adventure park. We loved walking through Avenger’s campus and trying out food in Pym’s Test Kitchen.

If you’re a fan of both Star Wars and Marvel, this is the 2 day Disneyland itinerary that you need!

• Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge

Bonus: Itinerary for worldschoolers

Who says that you can’t learn while you’re in Disneyland? We always love making travel educational for our kids.

While the theme park is primarily aimed for entertainment, there are still plenty of ways for worldschoolers to squeeze in some learning too! This 2 day Disneyland itinerary has activities that encourage learning, creativity, and immersive experiences.

• Disneyland Story - Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln
• The Bakery Tour

Things to know for a Disneyland itinerary

A trip to Disneyland is a trip of a lifetime for most families. Because tickets to Disneyland and the adjoining California Adventure park are not cheap, you want to make the most of your time there.

Having a plan ahead of time helps you maximize your fun in Disneyland. As you’re putting together your 2 day Disneyland itinerary, keep in mind some of these tips to help prepare for your trip.

Transportation options for a Disneyland park itinerary

Disneyland is not far too far from Southern California cities like San Diego or Los Angeles. So if you’re driving during your 2 day Disneyland itinerary, you can take a shuttle from any of the Disneyland parking lots. The shuttle buses come often, and operate during the same times as the park opening hours. 

Parking rates are $30 for cars and motorcycles, and $35 for oversized vehicles. Closer parking spots have a premium rate of $45 per vehicle.

Hours and tickets for Disneyland and California Adventure

Keep in mind the park hours as you’re planning your visit. Opening hours for Disneyland are 8 am to 12 am. And for California Adventure, the hours are 8 am to 10 pm. 

Ticket prices vary depending on the number of days. For a 2 day Disneyland itinerary, a One Park Per Day ticket starts at $128 per day. However, you can get a 2-day Park Hopper pass, which costs an additional $60 per ticket that allows you to travel back and forth between the parks.

Additional tips for a great Disneyland itinerary 

I’ve offered some great ideas for a 2 day Disneyland itinerary that suit a variety of family needs.

In addition to itinerary ideas, take a look at these simple tips to help you make the most of your itinerary. Besides the tips I offer below, you can also check out tips from this Disneyland Resort Guide .

1. Use the Disneyland app to plan out your Disneyland itinerary 

Gone are the days when you had to deal with paper maps, and guessing the wait times for rides. The Disneyland app offers a map of the parks.

The app also offers current wait times for the rides, so you can anticipate how long you’ll need to wait for your favorite ride during your 2 day Disneyland itinerary. Additionally, the Disneyland app also lets you see which rides have lightning lanes. 

The other thing the Disneyland app lets you do is mobile ordering for food. You can order food ahead of time and pick up your mobile order at special lines.

Get prepared for any emergency with the insurance made for digital nomads!

2. Have a backup plan in case of ride closures or long wait times 

With travel, nothing ever goes exactly as planned. And that’s true for Disneyland too. 

For your 2 day Disneyland itinerary, prioritize your must-see rides. And be okay with skipping the others if the lines are too long. Also have some back-up rides as part of your Disneyland California itinerary in case of ride closures and repairs.

3. Pay attention to height limits

Some rides have height limits. So depending on how young your kids are, they might not be able to go on a ride.

When we were at Disneyland, we were worried that our youngest kids would be too short for the Incredicoaster. But thankfully, they just barely made the height limit. Check the height limits ahead of time to avoid disappointment during your 2 day Disneyland itinerary.

4. Build in down time during your Disneyland itinerary

A day at Disneyland can be long. So leave some space for down time or rest during your 2 day Disneyland itinerary.

Use rides like the Jungle Cruise and It’s A Small World for down time. Or do a few loops on the train or monorail to give your little ones a nap.

5. Bring snacks to Disneyland park

Guests are allowed to bring snacks into the Disneyland and California Adventure parks. This is a great money-saving tip for your 2 day Disneyland itinerary as the food in the parks can be expensive. 

Bring a lightweight backpack to carry snacks, sunscreen, and souvenirs. Make sure it’s not too big, so that you can tuck it under your legs during rides.

6. Get the park hopper tickets

Disneyland and California Adventure are huge parks. One way to make the most of your 2 day Disneyland itinerary is to purchase park hopper tickets. They are an extra $60 per ticket, but makes seeing the park more convenient.

When using the park hopper tickets, you’ll need to identify the park you want to start with each day. You’ll spend the morning at that park, and then can go to the other park after a certain time.

7. Use the Single Rider Line

Some rides in Disneyland and California Adventure have Single Rider Lines which allow individuals to fill in gaps in rides. If your kids are older, and you’re willing to break up your group for certain rides, this is a great hack to avoid waiting in long lines.

These are rides at Disneyland and California Adventure that have a Single Rider Line:

• Millenium Falcon: Smuggler’s Run

8. Maximize your Disneyland itinerary with Disney Genie+ and Lightning Lanes

Another way to maximize your 2 day Disneyland itinerary is to purchase the Genie+ (Genie Plus) and Lightning Lane add-ons. This allows you to use the lightning lanes for most rides.

The Genie+ is an additional $20 per person per day. Some of the more popular rides also require you purchase specific lightning lane passes. Individual lightning lane pass costs vary depending on the ride.

Bond with your family even more on your trip with these fun ideas .

9. Splurge for the VIP tour during your Disneyland itinerary

To make your 2 day Disneyland itinerary extra special, why not splurge for the VIP tour ? With the VIP tour, you have a personal concierge who guides you through the park.

Your concierge also allows you access to all the lightning lanes. Or if the ride doesn’t have a lightning lane, you can jump to the front of the line.

The VIP tour experience starts at $3,500 (in addition to theme park admission) for a minimum of 7 hours. The maximum number of people for a VIP tour is 10, so this is a good idea if you’re going with a big group. Just a note, VIP tours are also available for Walt Disney World too!

If you’re pressed for time, and you have a big group to split the cost of the VIP tour, this is actually a pretty good deal. In one day, we saw 15 fifteen rides. We also got seats to watch the night-time fireworks show!

We were gifted the VIP tour by friends of ours. But I might consider doing it again the next time I’m in Disneyland because being able to see all the rides we wanted was definitely worth it.

A memorable Disneyland itinerary 2 days of fun!

For many families, a trip to Disneyland and California Adventure is a once in a lifetime experience. So why not make the most of your time as much as possible?

We loved our 2 day Disneyland itinerary, and made so many special memories with our family. If you’re planning a trip to Disneyland, use one of my suggestions to create the best itinerary for Disneyland for your family.

9 Tips You Need for Visiting Disneyland Alone

You don’t need to take your whole family, or even a partner, to have a great time at Disneyland. I went to Disneyland Anaheim on my own and found that there are some serious advantages to being a solo traveller at Disneyland.

Disneyland is the most magical place on earth so when I was in the area, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to go, but as this was part of my cross-country USA solo trip, I didn’t have anyone to go with. I decided not to let that stop me and planned a solo Disneyland trip which was epic.

Here are my top tips to help you make the most of going to Disneyland on your own.

Tip #1: Embrace your solo status at Disneyland

Even though I’ve done a lot of solo travelling, going to Disneyland on my own still felt intimidating.

I think because it’s a place that’s really designed around families so as a 21-year-old girl on my own I felt that I would really stick out and not have the same Disney experience as I would have if I had kids or a partner. 

Of course, it’s not the same experience but it’s definitely better in some ways.

There’s no waiting on anyone else, you can choose only the rides you want to go on and go completely at your own pace. And no one will judge you for eating your body weight in Mickey-shaped food!

Tip #2: Travel to Anaheim the day before

It’s no surprise that Disneyland gets super busy. My trip coincided with Thanksgiving week so there were close to peak crowds.

To experience the park at its quietest, you want to arrive before it opens (usually at 8am but check the  published hours ).  

As I found out, lots of people have the same idea so you’ll still end up in a big queue at the gates but it’s nowhere near as bad as the queues 2-3 hours later.  

It is possible to get up super early and travel to Anaheim to arrive at Disneyland before opening but if you do that, you’ll probably end up exhausted by lunchtime. So, save yourself the trouble and travel to Anaheim the day before and stay the night close by. 

I travelled from Los Angeles on the Amtrak train to Anaheim station. This was super easy and the most budget-friendly option at $16 one way.

There’s a  shuttle  that connects Anaheim station to the Disneyland resort and nearby hotels that you can ride for free using your Amtrak ticket. 

I arrived in Anaheim mid-afternoon which was plenty of time to get to my accommodation, grab some food and chill before the big day at Disneyland.

If you want time to actually explore Anaheim think about adding an extra day or arriving in the morning. 

Tip #3: Stay close to the Disneyland park 

My priority was to get as much of a sleep-in as possible while also making it to the park entrance ahead of opening.

That meant staying within walking distance of the Disneyland gates and really just as close as I could afford (accommodation in Anaheim gets more expensive the closer to Disneyland you are). 

I stayed at the Islander Motel which was cheap and ticked all those boxes – click here to see prices for this motel .

If you have the money to splash out you could stay at one of the Disneyland resorts which come with extra perks like, in some cases, early park entry. Click here to see prices for Disneyland resorts in Anaheim.

If you aren’t keen on a motel as a solo traveller (it made me a bit nervy the first time) try the Days Inn which is part of Wyndham hotel group – click here to check prices and book online .

Tip #4: Use those solo rider lines on Disneyland rides

Solo rider lines are the biggest perk of being a solo traveller at Disneyland so use them as much as you can.

These lines are always much much shorter than the regular lines, and you can sometimes even walk straight onto rides with no wait time at all.

Even if a ride doesn’t have an obvious solo line, you can ask the staff and they might be able to skip you ahead to help fill the last empty seat on a rollercoaster car etc.

Tip #5: Do your research on Disneyland passes

Going to Disneyland is not as simple as just buying a ticket. There are FASTPASSs MAXPASSs and Genie+ and who knows what else next.

These additional systems can help you get on the rides you want faster and can make your Disneyland experience much more seamless.

I bought a MAXPASS which allowed me to prebook spots on the rides I really wanted. This saved me a lot of waiting time and meant I could see more of the park in the one day I had there, so I think it was 100% worth it.

Disney are often changing the booking systems and passes and not everyone wants to preplan or pay extra but either way you should research the options so that you can make the best choice for your Disneyland experience.

Some of the options (like FASTPASS when I went) are more suited to couples/groups who can divide and conquer, sending people to different parts fo the park to collect ride booking tickets so make sure to read the detail and see what works for you as a solo traveller. 

I recommend reading some of the major Disneyland blogs that have reviews of every pass on offer like Disney Tourist Blog . I ended up going down a rabbit hole with Disney blog content which wasn’t completely necessary but got me super hyped for the trip.

Tip #6: Plan your meals

Speaking of blogs, if you do any Googling of Disneyland, you’ll find that Disney food has its own fandom and there are some iconic ‘only in Disneyland’ foods you might want to try while you’re there like grey stuff, chimney cakes or Dole Whip. 

There’s food everywhere in Disneyland, some of it good, some not and there’s no way you can try everything on your own so if you are a foodie like me then it’s worth doing a bit of research to get an idea of what you might want to try and where its sold. Disney Food Blog is the place to go for this, plus an Instagram location search.

Tip #7: Eat off-peak

When you’re visiting Disneyland on your own, there’s no one forcing you to stick to regular mealtimes so you can and should eat at s weird hours to avoid the crowds.

All the restaurants in Disneyland fill up around lunchtime and there’ll be queues outside all the stalls so if you can avoid that by having an early or late lunch then you’ll save yourself some hassle and get to enjoy shorter queues on the rides while everyone else is eating.

How I did it was getting to Disneyland before breakfast (at around 7/7:30 in time to be near the front of the line at opening) then having breakfast at around 9/9:30 after I’d ticked off a few big rides.

That meant I could eat Disney food for breakfast (hello, Mickey waffles) and could then wait until 2:30ish for lunch by which time most restaurants and food stalls had quietened.  

You could also skip having a main meal altogether and just snack on food stall dishes all day which is a totally valid option when you’re at Disneyland alone.

Tip #8: Take a break

Speaking of day-planning, Disneyland is pretty exhausting, especially when you don’t have a group around you to keep you hyped up. E

ven though you’re on your own and not needing to keep up a conversation, there are a lot of people around, lots of music and just general sensory overload. This is totally ok and taking a break in the afternoon helped me get through a full day at Disneyland while still having fun.

I just found a quiet spot near one of the Cinnabon stalls and spent a half hour or so drinking a coffee and having a moment to myself to recharge.

The other option is just heading off early. Just because you bought a day pass doesn’t mean you need to spend every hour there.

No one’s making you stay, and no one will know you bailed before closing time so if you’re feeling over it or you’ve ticked everything off then don’t be afraid to call it a day.

Most days, Disneyland is open from 8am-12am but 16 hours of Disney was a bit too much for this introvert so I called it quits around 8pm and was very happy with every I fit in. 

Tip #9: Get in the spirit

My final Disneyland solo travel tip is to get in the Disney spirit. There’s nobody to judge you for getting fully kitted out in Disney paraphernalia and if you do, you’ll fit right in (trust me on that, people at Disneyland are a bit OTT, especially by the standards of Kiwis). 

You don’t need anyone else to buy you Mickey ears or whatever souvenir you want so go for it and make the most of being in the only place where adults wearing tutus and tiaras is socially acceptable.

I hope these tips help you prepare for your solo Disneyland trip.  It really is an incredible experience that’s in no way diminished by being on your own.

People aren’t thrilled over 1st look at Tiana’s Bayou Adventure

W alt Disney Imagineering shared a full point-of-view-ride-through of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ahead of its grand opening at Walt Disney World this summer and Disneyland later this year, but not everyone was happy with what they saw.

The new ride expands on the story in the 2009 animated film “Princess and the Frog.” Riders will follow Tiana and Louis as they search for a missing ingredient ahead of a one-of-a-kind Mardi Gras celebration she will be hosting. As the ride concludes, guests will discover they are the missing ingredient, or “special spice,” Tiana was looking for.

Releasing a full POV ride-through of a new attraction is unusual for Walt Disney Imagineers, a division of the Disney company known for its secrecy. So when Disney dropped the video showcasing its latest project, many flocked to YouTube to see the finished product.

However, not everyone was pleased with what they saw, or rather what they didn’t see.

At the time of writing, the ride-through video had nearly 500,000 views, with 9,200 likes and 24,000 dislikes. The comment section was also deluged with negative feedback.

Many comments focused on how “boring and visually uninteresting” the ride looked, the lack of camera movement in the video, which failed to showcase the various audio-animatronic figures, why other notable characters from the animated feature like Dr. Facilier or Firefly Ray weren’t included in the ride, among others.

 Other commentators wished Disney would re-theme the ride back to Splash Mountain.

Splash Mountain was re-themed to Tiana’s Bayou Adventure at Disney World and Disneyland after fans called for Disney to re-theme the beloved attraction amid a racial reckoning across the country.

The attraction drew criticism in its last years of operation since it featured characters and music from the 1946 animated feature “Song of the South,” a movie criticized for its stereotypes of Black men and its romanticized view of the post-Civil War South.

Despite its problematic history, the attraction was still a favorite among Disney fans on both coasts due to its catchy tunes, breathtaking theme park views and its unique structure.

Still, even with the recent wave of negativity, other social media users expressed that they are still excited about the attraction opening at Disney World later this month and later in the year at Disneyland.
