Same Park, Different Experience

If you’ve been to Disneyland a bunch of times, you may be getting bored of your favorite rides. When you follow the same touring plan during each visit, it can be difficult to maintain the feeling of excitement about the park. This touring plan is specifically designed for guests familiar with the park; instead of focusing on the big rides, you’ll visit the often overlooked or hidden attractions in Disneyland and California Adventure. You’ll be surprised at how much there is to do in the park, and with this plan, you will have a completely new Disneyland experience!

Note: This plan assumes one day at the resort with a park hopper pass. If you are visiting for more than one day, I recommend spending your first day with a more traditional plan, and then use this plan on your second or third day. If you don’t have a park hopper ticket, I recommend you choose Disneyland over California Adventure.
