look like a Disney character. You can, of course, wear Disney T-shirts, hats, etc. And on Dapper Days , you can wear vintage clothing (generally from 1910-1960’s).
What do m ost Disneyland and DCA visitors wear? Clothing or accessories featuring Disney images and slogans, hundreds of which are available at the many Disneyland Resort stores. Children are allowed to wear costume-like items like wear Jack Sparrow hats, Princess dresses, and so forth. Everyone needs to wear shirts and shoes, as shirts and footwear are required for all Guests.
The Cast Members in the bag/stroller search lines are primarily looking for weapons, explosives, chemicals, and alcoholic beverages. I was halted briefly in summer 2010 because a Cast Member found a little bottle of perfume in my pack and was suspicious. Was it lighter fluid, a dangerous chemical, or a little flask of vodka? None of the above, as I was able to demonstrate, just an innocent bottle of fragrance. Some Guests get annoyed when Cast Members search their bags and ask questions, but it’s for the safety of every Guest and Cast Member at the resort. If for some insane reason you were planning to bring weapons, explosives, chemicals, or alcohol into the parks– don’t . Neither you nor the items will be admitted. Did You Know? Wrapped packages are not allowed on property because a wrapped package can contain prohibited and dangerous items. If you’re attending a party on property at which gifts will be exchanged, instead of wrapping the presents, drape them in tissue paper and place them in a gift bag. The Cast Members at the search checkpoint can easily lift the tissue paper to inspect the bag’s contents. If you absolutely must give a wrapped gift, store it in one of the lockers immediately outside the Downtown Disney search checkpoint and present the gift later, outside the parks’.
Ticket Booths
Congratulations—you made it through the bag check!
Now it’s time to buy your tickets (unless you already have an Annual Passport or pre-printed tickets). Once past the bag/stroller checkpoint, you’ll see a collection of small, cream-colored huts with pink-and-red shingled roofs, four on the east side of the central plaza, and four on the west. These are the Disneyland Resort Ticket Booths .
If it’s an off-time (very early in the morning, the middle of the afternoon, or late at night), few booths will be open and lines will be short.
If it’s a peak entrance time , most of the booths will be open, but due to the crowds, lines will be long. Find the queue that looks shortest and/or most efficient to you, and take your place in line.
Prepare to be patient. For many Guests, this is their first visit to the parks. They’re excited, confused, in some cases overwhelmed, and have a million questions when they get to the ticket window. The ticket booth Cast Members are trained to be efficient but also to do their best to answer all Guest questions and provide superlative customer service–and that can take time.
Use your wait time in line to chat with friends and family members in your party, make and fine-tune your plans for the day, formulate your own questions for the ticket Cast Member, and just enjoy the lively Disney music that’s playing throughout the area. Remember, you’re on vacation–even if it’s only a day-cation. Relax and ease into a vacation rhythm.
The Disney ticket and Annual Passport prices are clearly posted on all the ticket booths. There are a range of price points and it can be confusing for first-time visitors, so if you haven’t researched ticket prices prior to your visit, study the prices while you’re waiting in line, and don’t be shy about asking questions once you’re at the ticket window. Ticket booth Cast Members are there to help you choose the ticket or pass that’s right for you .
Disneyland Park and Disney California Adventure Park are expensive, and become more
