Disneyland Tips
Disneyland Park
Disneyland Park is divided into 5 parts:
Fanstasyland - Frontierland - Discoveryland - Adventureland - Main Street USA
If you're spending a full day at the Disney park, it would make sense to concentrate on 2 or 3 'lands'.
The Fast Pass
While it's not possible to avoid queuing for most of Disney's attractions, it is possible to reduce the time considerably with a handful of rides thanks to the Fast Pass. It will safe you time & hassle. That's the good news! The not so good news is that the system is only in place for 6 attractions. Recommendation - one of the most popular ride (with the longest queues) is Peter Pan's Flight, pick up your Fast Pass for Peter Pan's Flight as soon as you arrive at Disney.
Fast Pass - Which Attractions?
Peter Pan's Flight, Fantasyland
Indiana Jones & the Temple of Peril, Adventureland
Buzzy Light Year Laser Blast, Discoveryland
Big Thunder Mountain, Frontierland
Star Tours, Discoveryland
Fast Pass - How it Works?
At each of the above attractions, you will see a Fast Pass sign, insert your Disney Park entrance ticket into the machine & you will automatically received your Fast Pass ticket indicating your time to return to the attraction at the given time, insert the Fast Pass ticket & you're inside (short wait) but nothing compared to the normal access queues.
Fantasyland
The busiest land, geared for the younger audience, toddlers to 12 years. There are 14 attractions in this part of the park, 8 of which are aimed at a young audience, the remainder being classed as family attractions.
