Disneyland: Best Time to Visit and Where to Find Characters

When Is The Best Time To Be At Disneyland?

When you are planning your Disneyland vacation, you should note that some days are better than, others at the park. The days that you choose to be there will depend greatly on whether you are more interested in attractions or entertainment – or both.

For instance, Tuesday’s, Wednesday’s, and Thursday’s are the days when you will have shorter lines for the attractions, because there will be fewer people there. On the other hand, the entertainment on those nights cannot compare to the entertainment that is offered on the weekends. If entertainment is important, plan your visit to Disneyland for the weekend.

If you will be at Disneyland for several days, however, plan to ride the attractions on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday, and then enjoy the entertainment, as well as the other things the park has to offer on the other days. If you are visiting during the off-season, you should note that entertainment usually isn’t offered on weekdays. Also remember that the park really fills up as the day wears on, so try to ride the attractions in the morning if possible!

Where Are The Disneyland Characters?

A Disneyland vacation would not be complete without the Characters that we all know and love so well. Often, however, people leave Disneyland disappointed – simply because they never found their favorite character. The key to finding the characters you love is in knowing where to look for them in the first place.

Start with the Character Breakfast. Here, you will probably see Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, Snow White, Mary Poppins, Jasmine, Ariel, Minnie and Mickey Mouse, and many others. If you miss your favorites at the breakfast, don’t despair – simply go find them! Many characters will be on hand, right inside the gates, to greet you as you arrive in the morning as well.

Next, try in Toon Town, where all of the Disney Characters live. Visit their homes to see if you can get a glimpse of them. Go early, while they may still be at home! Be sure to visit Goofy’s Kitchen as well, since many characters pop in and out throughout the day. If you’ve been through Toon Town, and you still haven’t seen your favorite character, your next stop should be Fantasyland. Different characters can be located telling stories throughout Fantasyland.
