Park Plans Disney California Adventure® Park

Why use a park plan?

When you visit a theme park, there is so much to do and see — and lots of frogs in the pond, so to speak! Knowing the optimal time to visit each ride, show or character can save you hours of time waiting in line! Our pre-set park plans are best for families who like following a schedule but don’t want to do all the planning themselves — they just want to hop to it!

Families who want more flexibility than a park plan, don’t want to arrive ahead of park opening and want to decide which rides they experience, should use our general map.

  Park Preparation
  
  This two-day plan allows you one morning in each park to access the rides you should prioritize in the first two hours of park opening and an evening in each park to enjoy nighttime entertainment.

  Park Preparation
  
  If you only have one day at Disney California Adventure® Park, you’d better hop to it. You won’t be able to do it all, but this plan hits the highlights. If you are traveling without younger kids, skip the gentler attractions. If you do have little ones, you may be adding smaller attractions for them, skipping some of the big ones, or using Rider Switch so both parents can ride. This plan covers one day in Disney California Adventure® Park, including Avengers Campus.

  Park Preparation
  
  If you only have one day at Disneyland® Park and Disney California Adventure® Park you’d better hop to it. You won’t be able to do it all, but this plan hits the highlights. If you are traveling without younger kids, skip the gentler attractions. If you do have little ones, you may be adding smaller attractions for them, skipping some of the big ones, or using Rider Switch so both parents can ride. This plan covers starting in Disneyland® Park and then hopping over to Disney California Adventure® Park in the afternoon. When park hopping, we highly recommend using Genie+ and taking advantage of Single Rider lines if you can. When park hopping, we also recommend starting in Disney California Adventure® Park over starting in Disneyland® Park if you will not be using Genie+.
