Pro Tips for Your Visit
01 Rope Drop It Leave Eastvale by 7:15 AM to be at the turnstiles for the 8 AM rope drop. Knock out Rise of the Resistance or Radiator Springs Racers in the first hour. | 02 Mobile Order Order your Dole Whip or Corn Dog while standing in a ride queue. No waiting in a separate food line — just pick up and enjoy. |
03 Get a Park Hopper DCA closes earlier — a Park Hopper lets you catch World of Color then head to Disneyland for fireworks and Fantasmic! | 04 Bring a Battery Pack You'll be using the Disneyland App for Lightning Lane, mobile ordering, maps, and Virtual Queues all day. A charger is a must. |
05 Check Refurbishments Check the Disneyland app before promising the kids a specific ride. Save yourself the tears at the gate! | 06 Pack a Poncho March can bring surprise showers. Rainy days mean shorter lines — silver lining guaranteed! |

30 Miles Away | ~35 Min Drive | Eastvale Strategy Leave by 7:15 AM, park at the Pixar Pals Structure, shuttle in, and hit the 8:00 AM rope drop. You're closer than most of SoCal — use it! |
