First trip to DL

Disneyland
1

I am planning my families first trip to Disneyland this summer. Two days, park hoppers, decided on Disneyland Hotel. I have no idea where to start!

I do have a few questions and I think I’ll just add to this thread as things come up. Any advice you have— I would love to hear it!

  1. What car service have you used? At WDW we use Tiffany tow car- looking for something like that to drive us to and from the airport.
  2. Stroller rental- is there a designated company I should order from at Disneyland? I’d prefer not to use the park stroller.
  3. With only two days, dining reservation seems like less of a priority. Any must doss we should make time for? (Different then WDW)

Thanks!

Welcome to the West Coast!

  1. Here is a recent thread about transportation/car services Transportation from LAX to the DL Hotel
  2. I do know they exist, but I can’t remember any specific names & I didn’t find any recommendations in past threads.
  3. With 2 days I agree less priority. If anyone absolutely love characters the DL Hotel and Grand Californian both each have a very fun character meal. There is a fun character meal inside DL too (Plaza Inn), but with 2 days I’d have a hard time dedicating 1.5-2 hrs to sitting down to eat. Unless you would otherwise want to spend that much time seeing characters. Plaza Inn used to be Pooh and friends plus some other random and rare and very fun characters, but they have lately moved to being more Minnie & friends in seasonal outfits.

Please do ask away with all the questions and happy planning!

Thanks for the transportation link! Yea I might skip dining— the QS looks like some different options than we have at WDW.

If this is the case, I’d just bring or buy one, personally. The rentals can cost as much as a new one over a few days. A nice umbrella stroller is easy enough. You could even buy one at Walmart when you get to CA if you’d rather not transport it.

But if you prefer rental for whatever reason, I’m sure there are companies that will do it — I just haven’t ever bothered looking into it.
