1. Fast Pass

One way to avoid getting stuck in a long line is to purchase Fast Pass tickets for rides that offer them. Do this earlier in the day to ensure that you get to these rides first.

2. Rides in the Evening

Try to do many of the popular rides later in the evening, while most people are enjoying the entertainment. Disneyland has nightly entertainment, which is a good time to find shorter lines. Of course, it will mean that you will probably miss the entertainment, so if you can use one of the other options for shorter lines at Disneyland, you should probably do so. Besides, if you are staying in Disneyland for a few days or more, you can always plan to explore the nightly entertainment on the last of day of your trip, which could be a great way to end your vacation.

3. Avoid Going to Disneyland During Busy Times

Avoid going to Disneyland during busy times such as Christmas, New Years, spring break, the summer months, or on Saturdays.

4. Start Early in the Day

Get to the park early. The lines are shorter in the morning when the park first opens. Instead of jumping in line for the first ride you see, head for the rides that you really want to do most, like popular rides such as “Indiana Jones,” “Pirates of the Caribbean,” “Matterhorn,” “Thunder Mountain,” “Haunted Mansion,” and “Splash Mountain”.

5. Plan in Advance for your Visit

There are websites that provide information for your trip to Disneyland such as mouseplanet.com or laughingplace.com. These sites can help you plan for the best time to visit, which rides you should do first, how to get cheap tickets, etc.

Planning your vacation to the happiest place on earth is one of the best ways to spend time with your family and loved ones. Avoiding long lines will have tremendous impact on your overall experience and desire to return to Disneyland. So, what are you waiting for? Make Disneyland one of your next trips to create memories that will last a life time…
