The Tram will drop you off at the front of the park where you will buy your tickets, or enter if you have already purchased them. You will be handed a map of the park. Do not throw it away. There are several options. If you would rather be your own tour guide you are not alone.
Most people wish to experience the park in their own way.
Depending on your group, your course of action may differ. If you have smaller children, you may want to head for Fantasyland or Mickey s ToonTown and spend most of your day there. Disneyland has created a free guest service that proves to be very convenient to anyone who does not want to spend all day in lines. You may then walk right up to the front of the line, show it to the employee and you will be allowed to walk right ahead of the others. This allows you to enjoy more of the park while you wait for your allotted time to go on the ride.
