Top Tips for NYE at Disneyland ...

1. Arrive early and pre purchase your tickets! This is one of the business days of the year and due to fire codes there is a capacity and they can stop selling tickets.

2. Pick one park. When a park hits capacity they stop allowing people into the park, even if you have a ticket. It could be hours until they allow people back in the parks again.

3. Get a locker (early) for jackets and souvenirs. Remember you don't want to leave the park, so you need a secure place for all your goodies. You don't want to have to carry your belongings all day long.

4. Get as many fast passes as possible. With high crowds calls for high wait times. If your pass has expired don't worry, they usually will still accept them if your a little late.

5. Scope out your firework spot early. Employees also pass out free hats and noisemakers before the show. The shops will have special New Years ears for purchase too.

6. The morning of New Years Day is always less crowded, because most people stayed up all night the night before brining in the new year.

How it works ...

Though you are not supposed to line up before park opening, but many folks do. My advice? Plan on arriving 30-45 minutes prior to park opening (and if you can get in on a morning extra magic hour, that’s even better).

Wristbands will be given out at park opening.

In previous years, 40 wristbands were distributed per batch with three batches per day. So, 120 wristbands were given out at park opening, with the earliest guests in line receiving a wristband for the earliest batches.

PLEASE NOTE that your wristband will get you ONE candy cane, and there is a limit of TWO wristbands per guest. Lines start at whichever candy kitchen is producing candy canes for the day (dates are listed later in this post). SO follow the instructions of the Cast Members to Candy Palace or Trolley Treats… at a fast clip ;) .

Your wristband will have the date and batch time listed on it. You may pick up your candy cane any time after your batch time, but prior to 4PM. If you don’t pick up your cane by 4PM, it will be sold to someone waiting on standby.
