Being informed prior to your trip can help make it a magical time. Disney offers some great opportunities to assist in planning ahead.

Disneyland blog – This is the official Disney blog for all the theme parks. You can filter by park and get updates about park happenings. It is a great source of information especially for yearly events like halloween time and holiday time along with all the food offerings. 

Park Hours Calendar – Here you will find park hours along with entertainment schedules, attractions closed for refurbishment, and magic morning/extra magic hour schedules. They are posted up to 60 days out which can help during those last few weeks of planning. (You can also find estimated park hours here.)

I hope that this site will also help you in staying informed while planning your magical visit.
