Avoiding Long Lines

Disneyland is one of the most popular attractions in the world. They bring tens of thousands of people to their gates every day. Like any other amusement park in the world you have to prepare to serve your time in line. Nevertheless, there are still some things that you can do in order to avoid long lines during your Disneyland visit. Here are some of them.

Arrive At The Park Early

As the saying goes, the Early Bird Gets The Worm, in this case your worm would be the comfort of not having to wait in extremely long lines and seeing most of the park while others are still stuck in line. Beating the crowd is definitely effective here at Disneyland. statistics show that park lines are always shorter during the morning.

Take this advantage by visiting the popular attractions and rides first. Create a game plan with your family and map out where you need to be to hit the best and most popular rides first. With this plan you will be able to visit the minor attractions during mid-day when all other people are busy lining up for the major rides.

Arrive Later

Another way to avoid lines would be by targeting the popular rides and attractions much later in your day. However, this strategy is only recommended if you really can't be there early. If you access the best rides during the evening hours, there will be fewer lines to fall into on your part.

Dinner time is a good time to go for the popular rides. You can expect that everyone else will be hitting the restaurants and having their magical Disney dinner. Dinner time is also parallel to a majority of entertainment shows. You can expect that a bulk of the park visitors will definitely be off somewhere else.


Take Advantage Of The FastPass Ticketing System

Everybody needs a FastPass. Which is great for you since everyone gets a FastPass no matter what kind of ticket they purchased. Although it entail a little planning, this system could really pay you big dividends especially with saving time.

To make the most out of this system, your best bet would be reserving tickets early and targeting the more popular rides during the morning. Another advantage is that you can get these tickets through phone or on the Internet. This type of ticket is only offered for the most popular attractions and busiest rides.

You could may get a FastPass through the FastPass automated machines that can be found near the FastPass equipped rides. These machines are fast and easy to use. Don't expect to be placed in front of the line. The FastPass allows you to make a reservation with the ride while you go do something else.
