One source of frustration for many visitors to Disneyland is the long lines for the rides. You can literally spend several hours of the day standing in line to ride the most popular attractions. These lines can be avoided in one of three ways:

1. Get to the park early. The lines are shorter in the morning when the park first opens. Instead of jumping in line for the first ride you see, head for the rides that you really want to ride the most – the most popular rides.

2. Purchase FastPass tickets for the rides that offer them. Again, do this early to ensure that you get to ride those rides earlier in the day.

3. The third option to avoid long lines at Disneyland is to ride many of the popular rides later in the evening while the majority of people are enjoying the entertainment. Disneyland has nightly entertainment and this is a good time to find shorter lines. Of course it will mean that you'll miss the entertainment so if you might want to use one of the first two options.
