Hotels
They just updated the rooms, which look amazing! It's a close walk to the park, but they also have their own shuttle that's free to use. Underrated!
Candy Cane Inn
The location isn't as convenient, but the rooms and amenities are worth it! Just get an ART shuttle pass and you'll be good to go
Hilton Anaheim
If you're planning to spend a little more time at the hotel, it's worth the money! The themed areas make your trip so much more magical
Disneyland Hotel

The rooms are slightly outdated, but you can't beat the location! It's the closest hotel if you aren't stay on property
Park Vue Inn
Restaurants/Food
The atmosphere is so fun! It's buffet style and the food is decent, so we normally try to do this on our first night
Goofy's Kitchen
Make sure you get a reservation for Carnation Cafe! We love the catch of the day and patty melt if you're there for lunch or dinner
Carnation Cafe
One of the better meals you'll get in the park! Highly recommend the plate with a chicken skewer and veggie skewer
Bengal Barbecue
Make sure you mobile order from here! If there's a limited time treat available, order it in the morning otherwise they'll run out
Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe
The tacos and enchiladas are great! I'd skip the lime chips though
Rancho del Zocalo Restaurante
Don't miss out on the beignets!! They often have fun flavors available depending on the time of the year
Mint Julep Bar
Get the dole whip float! The pineapple juice makes it 100x better
The Tropical Hideaway
My favorite treat in the parks! Check to see if there's any speciality churros while you're in the parks
California Churro Company Food Cart
We like to pick up treats here on our last day! Get the churro toffee!
Marceline's Confectionery
Love the five-cheese ravioli! The pesto and balsamic glaze hit the spot
Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta
I'm not a big corn dog fan, but these are amazing! There's always a long line though so don't wait until you're too hungry
Little Red Wagon | Corn Dog
Merch
My favorite store in the parks! They have all the merch you'll need
Emporium
Since I was little, I always get a pin to remember the trip by! It's one of my favorite souvenirs in the park
Disney Pins | shopDisney
I can't resist a cute pair of ears while visiting the parks. Try picking one up at Downtown Disney before you enter the park
Minnie Mouse Sequined Ear Headband with Bow for Adults – Pink Sparkle | shopDisney
I've only been here once, but it was so awesome to see older Disney merch! It's on Katella and only a few minutes away from the parks
My-D Pins & Collectibles
Transportation
The closest airport to Disneyland! If you can find flights, definitely book here
John Wayne Airport
The Long Beach Airport is small, but a great second choice if you can't fly into SNA!
Long Beach Airport
If you're driving to the parks, you can park in the Mickey and Friends parking structure and tram over
