“I wouldn’t consider going to Disneyland without the help of The Disneyland Tour Guide. The first time I used them I was hesitant having just found them on the internet but I took a leap of faith and now I use them every single time! Besides the core service of tailor planning a day or days based on my specific needs, they are awesome about answering all of my random questions from hotel recommendations on and off property to where to stand for fireworks. Regarding the daily itinerary planning itself, they take into account if you will use Disney Genie + and / or individual express lane pay-to-play and then craft a ride by ride ideal plan. Tips and tricks on top of that and contingencies if things go sideways, with my plan in hand I was able to sleep leading up to our trip and quit checking wait times like a maniac trying to project what they would be on our special day. We were able to ride all the rides we wanted to without using up our DG+ before lunch and then used those in the afternoon when the crowds were larger and I was a hero to the family all thanks to this awesome service. There may be competition online but stop searching, this is the guide you want!”

“The plan customized for us was perfect! We were able to do almost everything in the itinerary, with unforeseen temporary closures, we were still able to adjust accordingly utilizing the Disneyland app features with the itinerary. Everything worked out fine. We followed the customized itinerary to a tee and it made our trip less stressful and so much fun. We didn’t have to worry about what we were going to do next or where we were going to eat because the itinerary included everything we wanted to do each day. And with three kids, the itinerary really gave my husband and I a huge sense of relief in planning. I highly recommend others to use her customized itineraries for a smooth vacation! Thank you for your help Shantelle with planning our vacation! We had a magical time!”

“Wow! I am SO happy that I purchased a custom touring plan from Shantelle! My family had the most magical, fantastic, low-stress trip to Disneyland and a huge part of that was having Shantelle’s plan to guide us! We spent a combined three days at Disneyland and California Adventure. We live in North Carolina and this trip out to California and Disneyland could be our only one while our kids are so young. We wanted to get the most out of our experience and even with all my own research and planning, I was feeling the pressure of how each day would go in the parks. We wanted to ride all the rides, experience all the magic, and not miss a thing. Letting Shantelle know our preferences helped her put together such a perfectly perfect in every way plan for us. As a mom trying to do all the things, it was amazing to get to the parks with an expert, specific-for-us, “roadmap” of which rides, shows, food, characters to see. Even my husband (not a planner like me), was so impressed by the plan and how spot-on it was with guiding us through our days so efficiently to have limited wait-times and check off all the specific boxes of things we wanted to do and see! Following the plan let us take a huge thing off our plate, since having young kids and tired parents means a lot to manage, not to mention having to debate which ride or show to go to next (while also factoring in wait times, getting-there times, etc)! Instead of taking so much time on those kinds of logistics, Shantelle had done ALL the work for us. And her years of experience and insider knowledge was invaluable. We were there in the summer on busy park days. There would have been no way we could have done it all without her help – and believe me, we did it ALL!! We were so impressed and consider it some of the best money we spent on our magical trip!”
Wendy H. – June 2023
“We were able to fit in one day at Disneyland and DCA on a trip to So-Cal. I used Shantelle’s services to plan a packed one day itinerary for us and it was perfect! All her tips made it so easy to navigate as we hadn’t been in years and it was our 4 year olds first visit. We’re already planning our next, longer trip, and can’t wait to use Shantelle again!”
Kirsten K. March 2023
“We had an absolutely amazing time. And while we didn’t follow everything by the book, the way that you mapped it out, all of your guidance made it possible for us to improvise. So we really appreciated it. You helped make it such a successful trip. And that was on top of the fact that it rained one day. But we were prepared! We will look you up again for our next trip.”
Betsy V. December 2022
“Shantelle made our Disney experience magical. Following her step-by-step custom plan helped us avoid long lines and ensured that we got the most out of each day in the parks! Worth every penny! Her response time was exemplary when I had questions or just needed clarification about a detail. Would use her service again in a heartbeat!”
Amber H. – October 2022
“Reaching out to Shantelle and having her create our 2 day itinerary at Disneyland was by far the best money I spent while at the park. I kept reading that you should have a plan if you haven’t been to the DLP in several years and was nervous that we would be spending it in long lineups or trying to figure out how to use the new Genie + app. She created a personalized, tailored and clear plan for our family of three that included: how we should get around the park, where to go and when, along with how to best use the App and lightning lanes. I had very specific needs that we needed incorporated into the itinerary, which she made sure were included. All of these things added up in such a positive way that our time at Disneyland was indeed fun and enjoyable! If you are on the fence and are wondering if spending the money on a customized plan for your time in the park is worth it, 100% yes it is.”
Aldea P. – October 2022
“Thank you so much for help!! I got through all of the rides on my list and so many more. The whole genie+ system can be confusing, but your plan made my time at Disney so much easier. My girlfriend and I had a spectacular time thanks to you!!”
“I would definitely recommend purchasing Shantelle’s custom list for Disneyland, if it is your first time (or it has been a long time) to navigate the park, avoid long wait times, and make sure there is something for everyone in your group! We also used her free eating guide and got to try everything we had hoped for! The eating guide was like gold.. and helped us know what to eat and where and actually made using the app even easier! ”

“We just recently went to Disneyland for the first time over Christmas. I wanted to be able to hit as much as we could. I reached out to Disneyland tour guide on instagram. Her plans were so helpful! Even down to when to order our food on our phone and where. Everything was planned so perfectly we were able to get in everything we wanted and more! Thanks for such a magical trip! Can’t wait to go back!”
Meghan S. – December 2021
“Shantelle was a fabulous asset to my Disneyland adventure. She gave me a great itinerary for my 10-year-old grandson and great food options. She also allowed me to send her emails or text with questions that I had after our phone conversation. If you’re traveling to Disneyland and need a Tour Guide, I highly recommend Shantelle.”
Lolita S. – December 2021
“We had such an amazing time! Your tips for rope drop and ride order were incredibly helpful for us to be able to optimize our time there and complete all the “big rides” we wanted to get done. This was super helpful for us since our last day in the parks was Thanksgiving Day and it was incredibly busy!!!!! Thankfully we had gotten in most everything we wanted the days before that so we just got to take it all in on Thursday and not feel stressed by the insane crowds. I felt super prepared for all the special Holiday shows as well so I didn’t panic trying to put it all together. My husband likes to give me a hard time for being so type A but when we got home he admitted that I was right to be so prepared and he LOVED our trip.”
Kit C. – November 2021
“Your plans helped us a lot! We made it to rope drop at both parks! What a fun experience. It made me a little teary eyed listening to the count down and the cheering. We got to ride every single ride, and our favorites a couple of times. We were able to secure virtual ques for Web Slingers for both of our days at DCA. My husband who normally gets irritated with my ‘planny-ness’ was so thankful for the organization and thoughtfulness of your plan. We didn’t have to wait too long in any lines, and my kids had fun trying to find all of the hidden Mickeys throughout the parks. We always bring our own refillable water bottles everywhere we go, your blog post with the locations of refill stations in the parks was great to have for us as well. We had the best time, thank you so much for your blog, instagram and personalized plan.”
Lindsay H. – September 2021
“I had a wonderful time and your plan, in conjunction with all the guides you have, was very helpful! I have been going to Disneyland for thirty years, and I tried new things that I knew about, but never bothered to try, on this trip. Your plan was also flexible enough that when unforeseen circumstances (the first three rides you scheduled all broke down right off!) we were able to keep going, with no hiccups. You took into consideration all of my needs, and made a great plan!”
Jay – September 2021
“I would highly recommend your touring plans to all who plan on taking a trip to Disneyland. From Disneyland “veterans,” families with children of all ages, Disneyland newbies, or once every few years guests, your plans will be perfect for all! Being a Disneyland “veteran” myself, your plans even opened up my eyes to experiencing Disneyland in ways I never would’ve thought of. I greatly appreciated all of the specific considerations and suggestions you provided in our itinerary. You not only took into consideration our desires for attractions, dinner plans, our party size/ages, or shows, but focused on the needs of my 23 month old son and wanting to have a stress-free, magical experience with him! Thank you for enhancing our magical time in the parks!”
Shannon B. – September 2021
“Shantelle went over the top in planning my bridal bachelorette event. In such short notice, she pulled together a wonderfully detailed itinerary within just 3 days of the event! Shantelle delivered all the magical stops for our group to fully enjoy the day stress-free in giving us a guideline to go with, yet most importantly taking the pressure off of the bridal party & bride. We loved how she customized activities for the group, making it even more personalized towards our interests. We will surely use her services again. Thanks for the memories, Shantelle!”
Judy D. – September 2021
“Money well spent! It was eight of the nine people in our group’s first trip to Disneyland and we were not messing around. We had 3 days (plus a special event) to experience as much Disney magic as possible. We LOVED the plan. We felt like we were Disney experts and used every minute to our advantage, which is money saved at Disneyland. We are already planning which days we will have Disneyland Tour Guide plan for us.
The personalized plans are worth every cent!”
Alayna B. – August 2021
“Where do I even begin? I found Disneyland tour guide just a day before my trip. I had been waiting over a year for this trip and I wanted to make the most out of it. As soon as I messaged Shantelle, she was very quick to reply. The trip consisted of two main days (one day per park) and a few hours of a third day. Thanks to Shantelle’s guide, we were able to get on all the rides we wanted, see everything we wanted and had great food. (I added a few treats along the way!) With her tips we were even able to get on Rise of the Resistance and Web Slingers! She saved us so much time and I loved having a plan! I can honestly say it was the best experience I’ve had at Disneyland and I cannot wait to go back again!”
Esperanza C. – July 2021
“Just wanted to give you an update…everything went well! The itinerary was so helpful. We definitely were able to get on all the rides as planned. Thanks for the help. Will definitely hit you up again for DCA. And refer you to friends.”
Jemmy L. – July 2021
“The team at Disneyland Tour Guide was amazing, they sprung into action on my very last minute plans and put together perfect advice tailored to my goals. To make things challenging, we went in peak season (July) with full capacity and no fast pass or magic hour. With all my tricks out the window, DLTG had some of their own tricks up their sleeve, I couldn’t be happier with my experience and would highly recommend! Thank you!”
Steve W. – July 2021
“My husband and I wanted to take our soon to be 3 year old to Disneyland for the first time, but felt very overwhelmed with the whole planning process. I hadn’t been to Disneyland since I was a teen, and didn’t know what would work best for us as a family. I’m so grateful that I found @disneylandtourguide on Instagram! Shantelle’s informative posts cover all the bases and serve as a great guide. I found that I was saving almost every post! I reached out to her for help putting together a customized plan and she really went above and beyond the call. She’s so kind and enthusiastic, plus this woman knows all the ins and outs on Disneyland and Disney California Adventure Park. She put together a step by step itinerary incorporating our breakfast and dinner plans, my daughter’s sleep schedule, and all the rides best suited for her age and height. I can’t even fully express what a truly magical time we had at Disneyland because of all her help. We never felt lost. We never felt like we wasted any time. The schedule allowed for us to make the absolute most out of our stay plus it also included time to explore and take in all the special and more subtle Disney details. Every day of our stay, we were easily able to stick to our itinerary and hit all the rides we wanted plus a few rides we rode several times. Shantelle was also very easily accessible when I had some last minute questions during our vacation. Without her help, I’m certain we would have had some meltdowns. This was easily the most stress free and delightful family vacation we have ever taken and honestly, who would expect that from a Disneyland trip! I would not hesitate to recommend her services to anyone looking for help in planning their next Disneyland trip. In fact, I’m already thinking of our next family trip to Disneyland and I will absolutely be reaching out to her again for help.”
