California Disneyland｜1‑Day 2‑Parks Guide After the Rain 🌈

🎠 𝑫𝒊𝒔𝒏𝒆𝒚 𝒅𝒂𝒚 🏰 The world's first Disney park! After the rain in LA cleared, we got lucky — right in front of the castle, we caught Walt Disney’s statue framed by a rainbow. That moment made every bit of bad weather feel worth it ✨. 🎫 Tickets: Tier 4 + Regular Genie+ 🚗 Timing: Arrived at parking 10:00, on shuttle by 10:30 🗺️ Route: Disneyland Park → Disney California Adventure Park We saved Adventure Park for later because Radiator Springs Racers at dusk is magical — like stepping right into a movie! 💰 Spend to Save Time: With only one day for both parks, we didn’t hesitate to invest in Genie+ — easy to book return times on the app. Tips: Fill the cooling‑down gaps with short‑wait rides like Jungle Cruise. 2 Must‑Buy Individual Lightning Lanes (not included in Genie+): 🌟 Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance 🌟 Radiator Springs Racers 💸 Cost: ~$25 each, ~$100 for two rides for two people. 💡 Verdict: Totally worth it — both regularly hit 80+ min waits. 🎢 Ride Reviews & Comparisons: Adventure Park roller coasters are way more intense than Big Thunder Mountain in the main park! Overlap alert: Pirates of the Caribbean and Tower of Terror are very similar to Tokyo Disney — skip if short on time. 🎄 Even though it’s only November 21st, the Christmas decor is already everywhere — nights are absolutely stunning. 🍗 Food: Tried the classic fried chicken with mashed potatoes and mac ’n’ cheese — portions are huge! One plate is enough for two (Asian‑stomach warning ⚠️). 😅 Service Note: Maybe we were spoiled by Tokyo Disney, where the staff’s dedication feels next‑level. In comparison, the US cast members felt a bit… chill 😂. But then again — maybe that’s the authentic American Disney vibe? After all, this is where it all started. 📝 Final Take: Crowded? Yes. But with Genie+ and smart routing, we never felt rushed. If you want to experience the romance of the original Disney, California Disneyland is still totally worth the trip! #Disneyland #CaliforniaDisney #DisneyGuide #LosAngelesTravel #TwoParksOneDay #CaliforniaLife #DisneyRainbow #USWestCoastTravel
