How to Do Both Disneyland Parks in One Day
Only Have One Day at Disneyland? Yes, It Is Possible to Do Both Parks
Eat strategically and on the go.
I'd suggest eating breakfast and lunch in the parks and grabbing dinner in Downtown Disney for a little evening break. I like to have my coffee before getting to the park and then have something easy for breakfast so that I can eat in line and pack in those early rides. You don't want to waste your precious first hour in the park waiting in line at Starbucks. Most of the sit-down restaurants aren't worth the time if you only have one day. My favorite lunch spot is Bengal Barbecue in Disneyland, where you can grab chicken, asparagus-bacon, and beef skewers to go. But there are also a lot of great options at California Adventure — AND BOOZE. Disneyland is dry, but California Adventure has everything from beer to wine to margaritas. Another case for the park hopper ticket!
