    Tips for teenagers

    You can focus on big thrill rides like space mountain or tower of terror. Explore avenger campus and it's just great for marvel fans. Capture photos and videos as Disneyland has amazing Instagram spots too.

    Tips for adults

    You can enjoy slow paced activities like boat rides or cafes. Restaurants also offer unique dining experiences so book a nice meal. Visit shops and shop some Disney merchandise for souvenirs. Take breaks and relax on benches or just enjoy a warm drink.
