Its the same as the WDW but DLr and California adventures so some parts are different!
*=get fastpass for in morning
!= Update/Updated
1.IF you plan on going on Space Mountain in disneyland go 8-9 otherwise it will get crowded and fastpass lines will be long. Such as when we got a fastpass at 10 for space mt and the fastpass was at 3-4 we left at 2 and came back at 5 and the next fastpass was at 11-12. Plus so many people get fastpasses just wait in line!
2. Ride the following rides early in the morning:Space Mountain, Big thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Finding Nemo, Autopia, Pirates of the Carribbean, Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones.
Indiana Jones- Morning time is usually from a 25-40 minute wait
Space Mountain- morning is sometimes dead but can be 15-30 min wait.
Finding Nemo- Get there fast!!!! 11:00 am its about 2 hour wait
Autopia- Go on this at night especially. Once we went on it took a half an hour. not too bad
Matterhorn- Gets really bad in the afternoon go morning or during fireworks
*Big thunder Mountain- get fastpass at 8-9 and ur ride should be ranging from 10-11 11-12. if not GL waiting in line lol.
Pirates- Go in Morning or at night! i suggest going at night especially durning fireworks only took us 5 minutes to get on during fireworks.
Haunted Mansion- N/A we were lucky and came before a big crowd in the afternoon so IDK yet
Some plans for long waiting rides-
1. if have a large family split up and have them go to big rides! such as finding nemo. Someone waits in line, some gets fast pass for indy, another for space mt, another haunted etc.
CALIFORNIA ADVENTRUES
Rides to get on fast and quick!-
Hollywood tower of terror- Never been on but last time i went the line wasnt very long ( tell me what u think )
Toy Story Mania- Its a 4 hour wait around 11 o'clock get there early and have some run to the ride.......... literally RUN
California Scream'in- LONG LONG LONG wait suggest being 1 of the first rides of the day
Grizzly rive run- Sometimes long wait sumtiems not depend on time of day
Food in both Parks some prices:
DLR=
Churros=$3.00 ech.
Popcorn= $2.50
Hungry Bear Resturant= Drinks ( not included in any meal ) $2.50-$2.75
Meals= $4.00-$9.00
Tips on saving money!!! Ok so after u looked at some of the food prices they charge it can get pretty expensive.... eh? Well i suggest bring a water cooler or somethign to carry food to the hotel and go home at noon after all it gets VERY humid during the summer.
Tips about getting around traffic!!!Ok well if ur by rides next to stores without doors CUT THROUGH THEM!!!!! Such as when by indiana jones gets crowded there is a store by the entrance..... i cut through there all the time.
Fantasmic- Dont exit adventure through the exit by the Tiki Tiki room, people flood that entrance before Fantasmic. I suggest taking the New Orleans Square Train or going around Fronteirland.
Occupancy:
PMfan-If you want to go to finding nemo submarine voyage or some other place with usually long lines, it would be a good idea to take an iPod, Game Boy Advance, etc to occupy yourself.
Good Idea Pmfan! Also i would like to add to that if u dont have any of those....... why dont you plan your next ride? Get a game plan together! Or just talk about the fun you've had so far................... or not so fun lol
Plan on Site Seeing in Disneyland? Go see the firehouse, right above is a window where Walt watched Disneyland be built.
another is Walt holding hands with mickey. Always tells me to " NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS "
Shops DLR/DTD:
Emporium
Magic Shop
Candy Shop
Movie Cinema
Sovuniers
Clothing Etc.
DO NOT WEAR WHITE PANTS IF PLANNING ON GOING ON GRIZZLY RIVE RUN!!!!!!!!! That happened to my cousin...... Lets not talk about it lol
Space Mountain UPDATE I experimented on this ride on 6/19/08 and in 4 hours i got to ride it 3 times!!!! Thats alot comparing to the waiting time!!!! Well what you do to get on really big rides and go on them fast is get there early in the morning....... Go straight to the ride u want to go on first........... Ride it......... Get a fast pass.......Go on another ride.........Go back to the ride with the fastpass after finished.........Go on ride.........Get another fast pass......... go on another ride.......... go back to ride after finished.......... Ride it for the 3rd time
!Finding Nemo! Ok i lucked out but here is a game plan for the long waiting line- If your mom has a little child ask them to wait in line for nemo......If you have a cell phone or a family member does ask that friend/family member to have him/her to tell my mom/dad to call him/her when they're half way. While your waiting for him/her to get half way...... GO RIDE BUZZ!! This line can be short and fast. I rode it twice on 6/19/08 Without a fastpass the wait was 10 minutes. And you were halfway by 4 minutes
Toy Story Mania is Located right below California Screamin on Paradise peir next to the carnival Games and right across from the Sun Wheel and Malliboomer.

Tiki Room turned 45 yesterday
The French Market Restaurant in New Orleans Square is closed to make room for the new menu. The new menu will no longer feature Fried Chicken or Sandwiches, but instead feature a "Healthier" menu featuring American and Cajun-Creole items.

This multi million dollar change is planned to dramatically improve the clarity and color of the images projected on to the mist screens, with all of the original 1992 film media converted to a much clearer and remastered digital format. This same digital technology will be used in the DCA World of Color show as well, on an even bigger scale.
Fantasmic! will return in mid November for the busy holiday weeks, and then the show will go down yet again in January for several more months. The second phase of the Fantasmic! rehab this winter will replace the old dragon and the lift effects. The huge open pit underneath the stage on the end of Tom Sawyer Island will be deepened and expanded, and a larger and more realistic remote controlled dragon will take up residence there. By next spring Fantasmic! will be practically all new from start to finish when it comes to the technology behind the show.
So about a year without Fantasmic? Or not enough clarity to say that it will be opened again that Spring or Summer.
More Information soon to come! :)

The lines to get on Haunted Mansion and Pirates are nearly non-existant during Fantasmic! The only thing is you need to make your way through the crowds to get there in the first place. We always walk right on. Buzz line is practically gone during the fireworks. If you've got little ones in diapers the changing tables back by Autopia and the train in Tomorrowland have the largest and easiest to get to changing tables and the bathrooms are almost always devoid of lines, and when there are lines they're really short. On the flip side, the changing tables in Toontown are by far the smallest in the parks and really hard to change anything but a newborn, walk over to the one in Fantasyland instead if you can. Another neat but totally weird thing while on the topic of bathrooms, the ones that are in the castle proper, near the Gepetto restaurant (blanking on it's name) is really cool to be inside when the fireworks are going on because you can hear everything going on in the castle. I have no idea why I like it but it's cool
An important thing to know about fast passes...
they have an hour block listed on them. So long as you are after the beginning time they are good the rest of the day. So if you have a fast pass that says 12:00-1:00 PM you can still use it at 2:00 PM or 10:00 PM. The only time you can't use them is before the first time listed.
So far all i know! Please Post some other tips if been to Disneyland!
