2019 Cass' Disneyland Tips Disneyland Resort Informaon and Tips for The *FILL IN THE BLANK* Family Reserva2on # 11336584 Disneyland Resort Hotel Package 5-day Park Hoppers with Max Pass Disneyland Hotel 1150 Magic Way Anaheim, CA 92802 Check-in: November 30th, 2019 Check-out: December 5th, 2019 During your stay at the Disneyland Hotel, you have Extra Magic Hour early entry every single day. The current Extra Magic Hour schedule allows registered Resort Hotel Guests access to one park on these select days: • Disneyland Park: Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays • Disney California Adventure Park: Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays Magic Morning at Disneyland Park for Off-Site Guests With Magic Morning, an early admission opRon, you can enjoy one early admission to select aTracRons, stores, entertainment and dining locaRons in Disneyland Park for one full hour before the parks open to the general public on select days. To enhance the early entry experience, it is strongly recommended that you arrive at least 30 minutes before park opening. Magic Mornings at Disneyland Park only are available during these select days: Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday The following aUrac2ons are open during Disneyland Park’s Magic Morning •Alice in Wonderland » Track ride in the dark •Astro Orbitor » Very mild midway-type thrill ride •Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters » Space-travel interacRve dark ride •Disneyland Monorail » Scenic transportaRon •Dumbo the Flying Elephant » Disney-fied midway ride •Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage » Simulated submarine ride •King Arthur Carrousel » Merry-go-round •Mad Tea Party » Midway-type spinning ride •MaTerhorn Bobsleds » Roller coaster •Mr. Toad's Wild Ride » Track ride in the dark •Peter Pan's Flight » Indoor fantasy-adventure ride •Pinocchio's Daring Journey » Track ride in the dark •Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough » Walkthrough exhibit •Snow White's Scary Adventures » Track ride in the dark •Space Mountain » Roller coaster in the dark •Star Tours: The Adventures ConRnue » Space-flight simulaRon ride Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge is NOT part of the early entry feature Extra Magic Hour Guests with Disney MaxPass can start making mobile FASTPASS selections for the day as soon as they enter the park. FASTPASS arrival windows, however, will be issued only for times when that experience is open to the general public. Disney FASTPASS service and Disney MaxPass are unavailable for attractions in Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge. FASTPASS Disney's FASTPASS system is a reservaRon system designed to moderate wait Rmes. When you arrive at a FASTPASS aTracRon, if the posted wait Rme is acceptable you should hop in the regular "standby" line. If you do not want to wait that long, you may pick-up a FASTPASS Rcket that will allow you to return and ride with a minimal wait during the posted return window. Disney’s FASTPASS system in 3 easy steps: 1. Each member of your party inserts his or her park Rcket in the FASTPASS kiosk. 2. You'll receive a FASTPASS Rcket with a return Rme so that you can go play in the park instead of waiRng in line. Tip: Look on the bo1om of your current FASTPASS <cket to find out when you can get one for another a1racon. 3. Come back during your return Rme and hop on the aTracRon with liTle or no waiRng. The smartest touring strategy is to ALWAYS have a Fast Pass! Before going for lunch or going to see a show or parade, grab a Fast Pass and then grab another one as soon as you are able. Check your FP Rcket for your next available Rme to get a Fast Pass. FastPass Tips: • Park Rckets must be acRvated at the front turnsRles (or Downtown Disney monorail staRon) before being used to obtain FASTPASSes, so you can’t send one family member into the park while the others snooZe. However, once everyone has entered, you can send one person across to the other park with everyone’s Rckets to retrieve FASTPASSes there. • Since lines are manageable, there's no reason to use FASTPASS during the first 30-40 minutes a park is open. • If you arrive aier a park opens, obtain a FASTPASS for your preferred FASTPASS aTracRon first thing. • Always check the FASTPASS return period before obtaining your FASTPASS. • Don't depend on FASTPASSes being available for ride aTracRons aier 2 p.m. during busier Rmes of the year. • Make sure that everyone in your party has his or her own FASTPASS. • You can obtain a second FASTPASS as soon as you enter the return period for your first FASTPASS or aier 2 hours from issuance, whichever comes first. • MaximiZe efficiency by always obtaining a new FASTPASS for the next aTracRon before using the first FASTPASS you already hold. • Be mindful of your FastPass return Rme, and plan intervening acRviRes accordingly. • Rides don’t dispense FastPasses during early entry, nor while they are closed for technical difficulRes or special events. • When obtaining FASTPASSes, it's faster and more considerate of other guests to select a "FASTPASS Runner" to obtain passes for your enRre party. This means entrusRng one individual with both your valuable park admission passes and your FASTPASSes, so choose wisely. (Also note that the runner can do her work while you eat, visit the restroom, or ride a different aTracRon.) • Keep in mind that FASTPASS on Disneyland's older aTracRons does not work as efficiently as it does on newer aTracRons. In many cases, FASTPASS users enter a separate queue that at some later point is merged with the standby queue. You want this merge to happen as late as possible so that you get ahead of as many standby guests as possible. You cannot control this, but it is something to be mindful of as you compare the benefits of using FASTPASS on different aTracRons. • You may hold one FASTPASS for each park, at any Rme. This can be handy if you enjoy park hopping, especially if your FASTPASS is for more than an hour away from the current Rme. • You need a FASTPASS to watch World of Color and Fantasmic. I highly recommend geng these very early during the day, as they can sell out. These are not included in your FASTPASS allowance and you may hold both World of Color FASTPASSes and Fantasmic FASTPASSes in addiRon to your one FASTPASS per park. July 2017 sees a new service at Disneyland Resort, Disney’s Max Pass MaximiZe Your Visit with Disney MaxPass When you add the Disney MaxPass feature to your Rcket, you'll be able to download, save and share all of your Disney PhotoPass photos captured during an enRre day. Plus, you'll have the opportunity to reserve digital Disney FASTPASS selecRons right from your mobile device using the Disneyland app while you're in the parks. Enjoy both services for $15 USD per Rcket, per day! Disney MaxPass = Disney PhotoPass Downloads + Digital FASTPASS Selec2ons We've combined 2 popular services to help you make the most of the magic! With the Disney MaxPass feature, you can: 1. Get Unlimited Disney PhotoPass Downloads for the Day – Share an enRre day's worth of Disney PhotoPass memories with family and friends! You'll even be able to access photos taken on select aTracRons and during select Character dining experiences. Magic Shots are also included. Simply ask your Disney PhotoPass Photographer to pose you for a Magic Shot, and a select Disney Character or fun surprise will appear in your photo aier it's taken. 2. MaKe FASTPASS Selec2ons from Your Mobile Device While You're in the ParKs – With this electronic opRon, you won't need to walk over to a kiosk to secure a FASTPASS enRtlement—you can simply make a FASTPASS selecRon (subject to availability) using the Disneyland app and then scan your code at the entrance when it's Rme to experience the aTracRon. Guests are strongly advised to check the day's FASTPASS Rcket availability and other park details before purchasing the Disney MaxPass feature or using a park Rcket with Disney MaxPass. Popular aTracRon FASTPASS Rckets may not be available at the Rme of Disney MaxPass purchase or use as FASTPASS Rckets are limited and availability is not guaranteed. Disney MaxPass is nonrefundable and subject to restricRons and change without noRce. How to Get Disney MaxPass When you purchase your theme park Rckets with me, I can include the Disney MaxPass feature as an add-on. If you choose not to add the Max Pass opRon but decide you want to add it once you are at the parks, you may easily do so from the app on your mobile phone once you have entered your first park of the day. Each member of your party will need the Disney MaxPass feature to make FASTPASS selecRons from their phone and download the day's Disney PhotoPass photos. How to Use Disney MaxPass Once you have the Disney MaxPass feature for the day, open up the Disneyland app and sign into your Disney account. Aier you link the Disney MaxPass feature to your theme park Rckets or Annual Passport, you're all set to enjoy the included services. Disney PhotoPass 1. Our photographers are poised and ready to take your photos at several scenic locaRons throughout Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park—at Character Experiences, select dining locaRons, special events and more. You can also find them wandering the parks, seeking to capture magical moments of you and your enRre family. Select aTracRons even have cameras posiRoned in just the right spots to catch your priceless, in-the-moment expressions. You'll just need to remember to link your 8-CharaCter AEraCFon ID, loCated on the preview wall, to your Disney aCCount.

  • Sleeping Beauty Castle
    SLEEPING BEAUTY CASTLE Sheet Numbers: 1 - 18 © Disney Approximate assembly time: 2-3 hours HISTORY INSTRUCTIONS Roof 1 Sheet 4 Inspired by King Ludwig III’s Neuschwanstein Castle in Bavaria, Sheet 3 Sheet 5 (reversed) Sleeping Beauty Castle opened on July 17, 1955, along with Disneyland Sheet 2 Park. Although inspired by the soaring castles of Europe, the Roof 2 Disneyland Castle was proportioned more to the imagination than history. Walt wanted the scale to be warm and welcoming. Although this centerpiece was there when the park opened, guests could not actually walk through the castle’s interior until 1957. Inside, Sheet 1 guests can experience special 3D dioramas and effects that tell the Sleeping Beauty story. We invite you to make your own version of a Sleeping Beauty Castle diorama. Sheets 8 - 13 PART I : THE DIORAMA : Sheets 1 - 13 MATERIALS GUIDE 1. Color all of the pages. 2. Cut out the rectangles on Sheet 1. Please note that these pieces will go from edge to edge on the paper. Use the guidelines to make an accordion fold. 3. Cut out the set pieces on sheets 2, 3, 4, and 5. Ask an adult to help cut out the center portions, as these will serve as windows through the diorama. Glue and fold back the tops and bottoms of the rectangles to keep the pages standing straight! Note that Sets A and B face the front while Set D faces the back. Fold and glue Set C, so it faces both front and back. 4. Cut out the roof pieces on sheets 6 & 7.
