For the kids Disneyland is a magical place which must be experienced at least once in their childhood. For the adults, it’s a place where they can be kids again and act like ones if they want to. Regardless of your age, you’ll probably get hooked and want to spend a longer vacation here.
And in case you want to check out the surrounding cities, Los Angeles is definitely worth a visit. Chinatown is known as one of the most authentic of Chinatowns on the west coast, while the beaches are part of the city’s soul.
Family vacation packages
Typically, family vacation packages are created for places such as Disneyland. So why not benefit from them? If you are planning to take the kids to visit the park, then look into these deals. The packages comprise the round trip flight, accommodation and often some extras (like discounted theme park tickets).
If you managed to save some miles or you prefer to explore the surrounding areas, then look into booking the flight and accommodation separately. Disneyland is technically located in Anaheim, which is just 26 miles from Los Angeles. Since Los Angles is served by a variety of airports, you’ll always find some sort of a deal available. However, you probably have the most chances to find cheap flights into LAX rather than other airports.
With the flight secured, it’s time to find cheap hotels in Disneyland . As you might expect, the cheap hotels are located in the surrounding cities, Anaheim included, rather than in Disneyland. But don’t put off the rooms located within the resort especially if you plan to travel outside the peak season.
Festivals and Events at Disneyland This Autumn
Halloween Time at the Disneyland Resort lasts between September 25 and October 31. The Main Street will be home to the Pumpkin Festival, while The Haunted Mansion will be transformed into a Tim Burton ‘Nightmare Before Christmas’ theme. For the first time this year special Halloween Fireworks will be on display. And kids can enjoy the new Halloween Space Mountain.
October 18 marks an important day for those who are into charity walks. The annual CHOC (Children’s Hospital of Orange County) 5K walk takes place at Disneyland Park and Disney’s California Adventure Park (before the parks are open for the day).
