Spend Less Time in Line with Disneyland's FASTPASS and MaxPass

Much like Walt Disney World®'s FastPass+ system, the FASTPASS system at Disneyland® Park and Disneyland's California Adventure® Park is a free tool that you can use to help save time and do more in the parks. Who wouldn't want to take advantage of that? Disneyland's FASTPASS system is a kiosk system that can be accessed in the park during your visit. It is available for select attractions in both Disneyland® Park and Disneyland's California Adventure®. Here's how it works: 1.

Celebrate the Holidays at Disneyland

The most magical time of year is even more magical when you spend it at a Disney Parks® destination. Walt Disney World® may have Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, but Disneyland® has its own special holiday celebration that should be at the top of your must do list when visiting Walt's original park. Disneyland Park® decks the halls from top to bottom, including special holiday overlays of "it's a small world" and the Haunted Mansion. In addition to the classic "it's a sma

Using Rider Switch to Maximize the Fun

Rider Switch isn't a secret Disney Parks® service, but I have found that not many families know it exists or how to utilize it. If you look around you while at Walt Disney World® or Disneyland® you'll spot a familiar scene: little ones waiting with Mom or Dad at a ride exit while the other parent takes the older sibling on the ride. When the child and adult exit the ride, the group moves along to the next attraction or stop on their itinerary with one or more adults missing o

Experience the Magic of "Coco" at Disney California Adventure

If your family is anything like mine, you are counting down the days until the next Disney movie release. I think the only films my husband and I have seen in the theater over the last 5 years have been from Walt Disney Studios and Disney-Pixar. This Oh My Disney quiz? Nailed it. Needless to say, we are all looking forward to Disney-Pixar's next movie, "Coco." I've been anxious to see how this movie will be incorporated into Walt Disney World® (Mexico pavilion maybe?), but un
