Planning a trip to Disneyland Resort? Learn from my mistakes before you go.
In this episode of Journeys with Jenn, I’m sharing the 5 biggest mistakes I made during our recent Disneyland trip—and what I would do differently next time. As a travel advisor who specializes in Disney destinations, I thought my experience with Walt Disney World would easily translate… but Disneyland is a completely different experience.
From not having a solid park strategy to underestimating crowds, navigating Lightning Lane, planning for food, and even missing some of the “magic,” I’m breaking it all down in a real and honest way—so you can plan a better trip from the start.
You’ll also hear what surprised us most, what we actually loved about Disneyland, and who this destination is truly perfect for.
If you’re trying to decide between Disneyland vs. Disney World, or you’re planning your first Disneyland vacation, this episode will help you feel more prepared, confident, and excited for your trip.
✨ Because the truth is—Disneyland isn’t worse… it’s just different. And with the right plan, it can be an incredible experience.
