Braving New Years Eve at Disneyland Part 3 Tickets, Food and Communication

Tickets, Food and Communication (Cell Phone Service)

I tied all these categories together for the people bringing friends or grouping together for this occasion. Mostly you do not want to split up so here are some tips for all of you...

Tickets!! Buy ahead of time...

Buy your tickets online via disneyland.com... One day tickets do run out and make sure other members of your party do so as well. Due to the reason that one day tickets usualy may sell out by early. Disneyland may opt to sell only 1 day tickets to Disney California Adventure and this issue could split your party... so buy now not later.

Food (PS Bring Snacks and Goodies)

With crowd levels so high I suggest many to bring snacks and water. No Candy though (it kills your energy done it my self ...bad idea leave the candy at home) Get some peanuts or trail mix to fight your hunger. Drink plenty of water. Also plan to eat during the off peaks hours to avoid long lines. Plan when and where to eat to the specific park you are at, If you plan to go to Disney California Adventure I recommend the Lucky Fortune Cookery and Cocina Cocamonga due to their ample seating. For Disneyland the Hungry Bear Restaurant and Rancho del Zocalo also for the same reason. Skip the pizza because its a popular choice. 

Communication (Cell Phone Service)

Avoid Twittering, Avoid using Facebook and Turn your Data OFF when at the Parks on New Years Eve. Its not the time to use these features anyway. The Cell Phone Towers around the resort that supply the data service around the resort are simply overloaded when the parks are at capacity. Also when going on rides turn on airplane mode on your phone.... its a huge battery saver. You want to save battery when the times your need it. If you must twitter check out twitter.com for a way to SMS twitter. Also SMS than MMS because sending a multimedia message will use data and if the towers are overloaded your message will fail and retry, and could lead to running your battery low. Wait till your in the car to send your friends and family those cool pics you took while at Disneyland for NYE.

So Text dont MMS

Airplane mode while on Rides (so your phone wont die looking for signal)

Browse the Park and not your smartphone

A Guide to Braving New Years Eve at Disneyland Part 2 Which Park to Choose??

Disneyland Park or Disney California Adventure??
Which park to choose, If you want to be brave the crowds and enjoy traditional entertainment that would be Disneyland. Disneyland is the most popular between the bunch, with it elaborate parade (A Christmas Fantasy) and Holiday Fireworks Show (Believe.. In Holiday Magic) it becomes the #1 Choice for Park Goers and Tourists. Disneyland has classic E ticket Attractions and history which makes it a must for mostly everyone.. Yet Disney California Adventure is also great but I have never spent New Years Eve there ( no World of Color maybe ) Now with the addition of World of Color  this could make it a choice that could strike a deal to some park gowers. So why do I make a question to choose between parks. There is no way in the world to Park Hop between Parks on New Years.  The crowds make it nearly impossible to do so. Disneyland usually sells out of one day park admissions early around 10 am...and also Annual Passholder blockout tickets sell out quckly too. So you must make it a must to choose one and only one, SO DO NOT PLAN TO PARK HOP ok.
Lets Break down Attractions and Entertainment to do at Both Parks  
Disneyland
Christmas Fantasy Parade (offered twice check disneyland.com for latest schedule subject to change)
Space Mountain 
Matterhorn
Captain Eo Tribute 
Small World Holiday
Fantasmic!
Believe...in Holiday Magic
Ring in the New Years with Fantasy in the Sky Fireworks Show
and many more

Disney California Adventure
ElecTRONica
World of Color (FASTPASS MANDATE go to Grizzly River Run for Fastpass Ticket)
California Screamin
Tower of Terrror
Aladdin Live Stage Show (?? Subject to Change)
Grizzly River Run
Fountain and Fireworks Special Midnight Ring in the New Years (Fastpass mandate with an encore performance of World of Color get ticket at Grizzly River Run
Animation Academy
Soarin over California
Muppet Vision 3D
any many more...
My tip is if you want to to do something different and brave light crowds my recommendation is Disney California Adventure  due to one main offering that is hard to pass up World of Color. If you have not seen World of Color it is a must see. One perk is that Fastpass includes the special Fountain and Fireworks Midnight Ring in the New Years (subject to weather of course). At Disneyland many people stake out there waiting spot for Fireworks and Fantasmic! early as the park opens. So head early to California Adventure and get a fastpass to the midnight showing of DCA. If Disneyland you seek a great area to enjoy countdown to New Years is at Small World Mall. Just remember to choose one park. Part 3 coming soon
