Disney California Adventure Park

Download the Disney app before you go. It lets you check wait times, book Genie+ for skip-the-line access, and even order food ahead, saving you a ton of time.

Don’t forget to explore the little details in the park! There are great photo ops and hidden gems everywhere, like amazing street performances and themed shops that often get overlooked
Consider bringing your own snacks and a refillable water bottle. Food prices can get pretty high, and staying hydrated is key for a long day of fun!

I suggest taking a break around lunchtime. Many people eat at noon, which means rides will be much shorter when you go in after 1 PM.
Kualoa Ranch

I think going for the 8 AM tour works great since it's cooler then and less crowded. Plus, you’ll beat the afternoon heat.
Rushmore Tramway Adventures

Don’t skip the zip line! It's super fun and the views are amazing, but you wanna make sure you have a good harness fit. I saw a few people struggle with that.
If you can, go on a weekday instead of the weekend. It's way less crowded, and you can enjoy the rides more. I went on a Friday, and it was a breeze!

Check out the sunset from the top. I almost missed it, but it was so worth it! Just make sure you plan your rides to have enough time before the park closes.

I suggest buying the combo ticket online. It includes more activities than paying separately, and I saved some cash that way. Plus, it feels nice to be ahead of the game!
Jurassic Park River Adventure

Don’t miss out on the splash zone, but I recommend wearing a poncho. I went home soaked even after planning to keep it dry!

If you can, buy a Universal Express Pass. It really saves time, especially during peak hours. I thought it was pricey, but skipping the lines makes it worth it!

I suggest hitting the ride early, like 9 AM, before the crowds roll in. The lines can get super long, and trust me, you'll want to spend more time enjoying than waiting.
