Main differences between WDW and DL planning?

Glasgow trip · 12 May 19, 09:28 PM

My sister is ringing me in the week to get my advice about what she needs to plan for a 2 day trip to Disneyland she’s taking in July.

Now, if they were going to WDW, I could talk for a week. But Disneyland... ?

What are the main planning differences I need to know about? Does fastpass work the same? Magic bands? Early hours? Dining reservations? Anything else?

There will be 2 adults, one 7 year old boy - they’ve never been to any Disney parks before, and are not big on pre-planning. This will be 2 days in the middle of a trip to California.

Any help very gratefully received!

Look in the West Coast forum where you will find lots of advice.

Main consideration is going to be Star Wars Land will be open by then. The booking system should be done by then so that shouldn't be a restriction, but it will be very busy.
