Disneyland Resort consists of two theme parks and three hotels, PLUS the Downtown Disney District which has activities and dining. It would probably take a decade to do every single activity, try every single dish but who has time for that!? If it’s your first time or you’ve been there hundreds of times, I have a fun list of 101 things to do at Disneyland Resort!
