Hey there Wayne, welcome to planDisney!
You are able to purchase
theme park parking prior to your trip, I'm sure it will help put your mind at ease knowing that it will already be taken care of! There are 3 locations located near the Disneyland Resort which include the Mickey & Friends Parking Structure, Pixar Pals Structure, and the Toy Story Parking Area.
If you're staying at a
Disneyland Resort Hotel, there is parking available at all three hotels for an additional fee. Valet parking is also available at Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa and the Disneyland Hotel for registered hotel Guests. When you arrive to the hotel, feel free to ask a Cast Member for assistance.
If you will be driving to the Disneyland Resort, we always love to make a stop at a local grocery store to grab some essentials for our trip such as easy breakfast items and snacks we can take with us to the parks, and bottled water to keep us hydrated during our trip. The great news is that you can bring outside food and nonalcoholic beverages with you as long as you do not bring in any
prohibited items such as glass containers.
I hope this helps answer your question, Wayne! If you think of any other questions before your trip, don't hesitate to
come back to planDisney.
Have a magical day!
Melissa
