Afterward, she worked at the Emporium and Candy Palace on Main Street, U.S.A. Although she no longer works at the Parks, she visits Disneyland often and shares what she wishes tourists knew before their trip.
9 Tips
1. Reservations are currently required for every visit, so make advance reservations, or you’ll be denied entry.

2. Take advantage of Disney’s Genie+ Service by watching some videos in advance, to learn how to make the most of your day.
3. Mobile-order your food to save time as Disney seems to be prioritizing mobile orders over direct orders at the counter.

4. Stay until the Park closes for a truly magical experience, as well as easier access to rides, and exceptional photo ops.
5. Have a plan for your phone’s battery life by taking advantage of swappable FuelRod dispensers throughout the Park. (This is a must!)

6. Take a break mid-trip to explore at least one of Disney World’s other offerings, including Disney Springs, water parks, golf courses, spas, and more.
7. Opt for the second parade or nighttime-spectacular time to beat the crowds.

8. Disneyland includes PhotoPass services with Genie+, but Disney World doesn’t so consider purchasing Memory Maker for professional photos.
9. Be nice to Cast Members, because most things that go wrong are beyond their control; give them a compliment on the app, instead!
