Disney gift card
$25.00, Shop Disney (starting price)
A trip to Disneyland, the only Disney park completed by Walt Disney himself, is a must-do for any theme park fan.

A two-day park hopper ticket is the best way to experience the park, allowing entry to both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure on the same day. The newest addition to the resort is Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge, where you can sit behind the controls of the Millennium Falcon, belly up to the bar for a glass of blue milk, and take a cinematic journey in the midst of a battle between good and evil on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance.
