Yet you might find yourself thinking, 'Is this the best deal?' While most of Disneyland caters to being in the moment, here are the a few of the best deals you can't miss if you know ahead of time.

Use the FastPass for popular rides. Space Mountain and Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage are two very popular rides. The best deal to avoid waiting in the park is getting a Fastpass for a designated time and returning at the time to walk right in.

Find Free Souvenirs for the Scrapbooks. The best deals for little items to take home for mementos of your experience has to be the free ones! There are 3 inch buttons available at several locals at the park that are free, if you ask. Full color and very cool to wear (even for the teens) they say different things lke first time visitor or honorary citizen. Durable, you can take these cool items home to enjoy even after your trip is long over. The guest center, the cleaners on Mainstreet USA and the Bank offer the most free button selection.

Get free Refills. Soda is over $3 for a 20 ounce bottle, but you can find the best deal at the Plaza Inn. One of the two restaurants that offer free refills for soda pop (on the same visit.) You can also purchase lunch at this restaurant and notice one significant difference compared to other locations - the portions are much bigger and easily enjoyable for two!

Get a Discount by showing your card. Looking to pick up a few shirts or even a mug to take home from Disneyland? The prices in the park are all the same, but the discounts are different. If you have an annual pass or AAA pass, you will get yourself a discount. As the store policies vary, ask when you arrive to find out if you are getting the 5-15% discount.

Cool off with a Cheap Pineapple Chill. The Tiki Room Attraction isn't just for the birds. Out in front of the attraction is one of the most popular (and inexpensive) places to get a unique cool taste. Offering up pineapple ice cream, pineapple floats and other yummy delights, guests won't feel slighted.
