FastPass at Disneyland/California Adventure Will Help You Go Fast!

travelmagicstg2014-12-17T06:00:00-05:00December 17, 2014|Disneyland|0 Comments

Most of you know that I love Disneyland. I don’t want Walt Disney World to feel slighted by me, but I love Disneyland just a little more. One of the reasons I feel this way is because of the FastPass system at Disneyland. There are pros and cons to the FastPass systems at both parks, but the system at Walt Disney World is a bit more complicated. At Walt Disney World, you definitely need the help of a travel agent (call me, I’m glad to oblige) to navigate the system. The system at Disneyland is just a bit simpler. (By [...]

On our recent trip to Walt Disney World we used Disney’s Memory Maker (formerly PhotoPass Plus) photo package and found it to be easy to use, fun and very much worth the money.

It also includes unlimited downloads of attraction photos (attraction photos are offered on select attractions at all four theme parks) and photo packages offered at select character meals.
