TIP OF THE DAY
The Disneyland® Resort's Indoor Kennel facilities are located to the right of the Main Entrance of Disneyland® park. Price for this service $15. They will not keep your pet overnight, though, so if you want to stay in Disneyland® for more than one day, you'll have to find a pet-friendly hotel. Fortunately, there is a number of hotels in Anaheim area that will let you bring your dog or cat with you. Refundable pet deposit is required plus a moderate accommodation charge. Let’s Go to Disneyland®!” e-book lists about a dozen of pet-friendly hotels located near the Disneyland® Resort.

WEATHER













EXPECTED ATTENDANCE
Fairly low because of the time of the year, but slightly increased due to weekend.

TIP OF THE DAY
remember that weather can change quickly in Anaheim. And evenings are quite cool, especially around this time of the year. More importantly, you need those plastic ponchos for the wet rides (e.g., Grizzly River Run or Splash Mountain). You'll need change clothes and plastic ponchos for them. Buy them much cheaper at home, at your local dollar store - they are quite expensive at the park. Bring plastic poncho for each member of your traveling party.

TIP OF THE DAY
Oh yes, the lines to the popular attractions in Disneyland® can be very long. Even with the FASTPASS® Service you may need to spend some time in the queues. Try to spend as little time in the lines as possible. If you do that, you'll see more, ride more attractions and be less tired. Find out what the wait times are for the attractions you're interested in. That info is posted on the Information Boards and is updated hourly. Read more on the tactics and strategies to fight the queues - see “Let’s Go to Disneyland®!” e-book - and learn about the best ways to avoid the lines and how to spend time in them.
