Instructions

Things You'll Need:

Disneyland tickets
Disneyland Fast Pass
List of your favorite rides

Step 1

Arrive at the theme park early. Disneyland offers an early bird admission for a nominal extra fee. If you choose to pay this fee you will be admitted into the park two hours prior to it opening to the public. No lines, no waits and lots of rides.
Step 2

Plan your day accordingly. Make sure that you bring a list of the rides you want to go on so you know which ones to go to first.
Step 3

Register your admission ticket for Fast Pass. Once you have gained admission to the theme park, find the nearest Fast Pass booth. Simply insert your ticket and let it scan it. Then select all the rides that you want a Fast Pass for. The kiosk will print out a receipt with the times to go to each ride you have selected to get in the Fast Pass lines; typically you will not wait longer than five minutes in any Fast Pass line. (See Resources link below for more Fast Pass info.)
Step 4

Enjoy short lines and minimal waits. Now that you have figured out how to skip most of the lines at Disneyland, enjoy a nice day at your favorite theme park and have fun.

Tips & Warnings

Wear comfortable shoes and clothing, you will be walking around the park most of the day.
Be sure you meet all of the suggested health requirements before riding on any attraction.
