If you would like to surprise someone who will be  traveling with you to Disneyland, you can easily do this by using the Disneyland Vacation Planning  Service. This service has many different services that  can be performed for you, but one of the best ones is the Surprise service.

Simply contact the Vacation Planning department,  and tell them who the surprises will be for, which  Resort hotel you will be staying at and what your  budget is for the surprises. You will also need to tell  them when you would like the surprise deliveries to  be made, and what type of gifts you are interested in.  They will also want to know who the favorite Disney  character is of the person that you want to surprise.

After providing all of this information, your credit card  information will be required. You can be sure that the  amount charged to your credit card will not exceed  your surprise budget that you have set. This is a great  way to add more value to your Disney experience, and  to constantly experience great anticipation of the next  surprise to come!

 No Disneyland Vacation can be complete without a  Disneyland tour – especially if it is your first trip to  Disneyland. There are currently four different tours  to choose from, and Disneyland park admission is  required for all tours. It is strongly advised that you  make a reservation for the tours that you wish to go  on.

Disneyland’s Discover the Magic Tour may be the  most popular of the four. This tour will have you and  your family working with Disneyland characters to  find clues and hunt for treasure. You can literally live  out a Disneyland fantasy with your family and loveable  characters, outsmarting the Disney bad guys! This  tour includes lunch and an exclusive gift that can only  be obtained on this tour.

The Discover the Magic Tour lasts for about three  hours. There is a two ticket minimum, and the cost  is $49 each of the first two tickets, with additional  tickets costing $39. The tour is appropriate for the  5 – 9 year old age group, and adults. The tour is  not really suitable for children under the age of five,  or for children who need strollers.

The VIP Tour lasts for about four hours, and costs  $75 per hour for a party of up to ten people. You  must book this tour well in advance, or there will be  an additional twenty dollar fee. The tour is not  recommended for children, but is designed more for  people who have a true love and interest in Disney  and Disneyland history.

The Welcome to Disneyland Tour is absolutely  perfect for first timers. There are many benefits to  this tour, including priority seating at one of the stage  shows, tips and suggestions for getting the most out  of your Disneyland vacation, a brief history of the  park, priority seating at one of the many restaurants,  instruction in using FastPass, two bonus FastPass  tickets, and much more. This tour lasts about two  and a half hours, and costs $25 per person.

A Walk in Walt’s Footsteps focuses on the vision of  Walt Whitman, and is not really suitable for small  children. Filled with history and trivia about the park,  this tour lasts for more than three hours, and costs  $49 per person. The main feature of this tour is your  peek at the exclusive Club 33.

Again, you should definitely consider making one of  these tours part of your Disneyland experience –  especially if this will be your first trip to Disneyland.  You may see things and learn things that you would  not see or learn without the benefit of the tour!
