2. Visit Walt Disney Studios Park

Don't let its smaller stature fool you - Walt Disney Studios Park is definitely worth a visit - especially if you've purchased a 2-day (or longer) pass. Located just steps away from Disneyland Park, Walt Disney Studios Park is home to 11 rides and attractions including the popular Ratatouille: A Recipe for Adventure and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Other rides not to be missed are Cars Quatre Roues Rallye: Vroooom! and Les Tapis Volants - Flying Carpets Over Agrabah: A Whole New World of Fun.

Because waiting times at Walt Disney Studios Park tend to be shorter than Disneyland Park, we recommend spending just half the day there.

3. Stay for the Entertainment
