How to Splurge on the Most Extra Disneyland Trip Ever

If you recently won the lottery, happen to be an heiress, are a super-successful entrepreneur, or merely want to treat yo’self for reals the next time you go to Disneyland, we’ve lined up the dream vacay for you. This is no stay at an off-part motel, smuggling in your own PB&Js and getting lost in a maze of lines. These nine tips are golden ways you can do Disneyland in the lap of luxury when money is no object — kind of like getting in touch with your inner Kardashian (as major Disney fans, you know they’ve indulged in most of these).

1. Make your stay magical by booking a Disneyland Hotel Signature Suite ($3,000+ per night). While the days at Disneyland are magical, the nights can be even more so. These suites aren’t merely places to sleep and nap: The carefully curated homes away from home are an immersive experience. There’s an array of unique themes to choose from, including the Big Thunder Suite, the Fairy Tale Suite, the Pirates of the Caribbean Suite, the Mickey Mouse Penthouse, and (our personal favorite) the Adventureland Suite. The lattermost is a 1,400-square-foot homage to rides like the Jungle Cruise and Indiana Jones Adventure, which features a tiki-drum doorbell, a rock shower, a closet hidden behind a faux bookcase, and a wide array of global souvenirs.

2. Enjoy a night in the Mount Whitney Suite ($3,500+ per night). For those looking for a room that’s more classy, the signature suites at the Grand Californian Hotel & Spa seriously won’t disappoint. This sprawling suite — one of four at the hotel (the others are the Arroyo, El Capitan, and Arcadia) — is a 2,272-square-foot opulent ode to the Arts and Crafts movement. The perfect place for entertaining, the Mount Whitney Suite can host about 70 visitors and boasts two fireplaces, an office, and views of the park.

3. Forget the corn dog: Make a dinner reservation ($180+ for two diners). While most of the culinary options at Disneyland skew more toward handheld offerings like hamburgers, hot dogs, and churros, there’s plenty for those possessing a more discerning palate (such as the honey pear soup above). For a culinary adventure any foodie will love, the Chef’s Counter at the Napa Rose inside the Grand Californian is an absolute must. There are two seatings per night; guests can choose from the standard menu or a four-course Vintner’s Table prix fixe menu focused on seasonal ingredients, or the chef can create a custom meal based on the diners’ preferences. As you might expect from a place called the Napa Rose, there’s an incredible selection of wines to pair as well. (Photo via Disneyland Parks and Resorts)

4. Don’t go it alone: Get a “plaid”(approx. $2,500 for six hours). A Disneyland VIP Private Guide, AKA a “plaid” for their tartan outfits, effortlessly leads guests through the park in a way that avoids overwhelming crowds, lines, and hassles. These incredibly well-informed and charming guides help secure dining reservations, will give you access to exclusive VIP seating at the parades and shows and, last but so not least, will assist in skipping the long lines and getting you into the way faster FastPass queue.

5. Dine in style at 21 Royal (approx. $15,000 for 12 diners). Nestled next to the legendary Club 33 you’ll find the swanky dining experience known as 21 Royal. Unlike the members-only private club next door, anyone can reserve this private dining room. What was once to be Walt and Lilian Disney’s family retreat has been reimagined into a suite of rooms for entertaining. The dining experience begins with cocktails served by butlers in the salon; then guests move to the outdoor patio for a spell; finally, dinner follows in an intimate dining room, which seats 12. The menu offered is tailored to the party’s preferences and includes innovative culinary treats made with the freshest ingredients. Definitely a far cry from a hot dog from Award Weiners. (Photo via Disneyland Parks and Resorts)

6. Get your spa on ($415+). Even when ushered around by a private guide, you know your dogs are going to be barking after walking all over the parks all day. That’s where the Mandara Spa at the Grand Californian comes in. One of the premier offerings is the customized 80-minute couple’s massage ($415). If you really want to indulge, you could add in a Musclease Aroma Spa Ocean Wrap ($135), an Elemis Pro-Definition Lift and Contour Facial ($190 for 60 minutes), and an Exotic Frangipani Monoi Salt Glow and Nourish Wrap ($80).

7. Splurge on a fancier accessory than Minnie Ears ($6,565). It’s pretty much impossible to go to Disneyland and not pick up a souvenir or two. While getting a pair of ears, an iconic balloon, or an enamel pin commemorating your favorite ride is pretty de rigueur, those with discerning tastes might wanna get out the platinum card for something a bit more substantial. One choice for those who like to sport a bit of bling is this Mickey Mouse platinum and diamond necklace, found on site in stores on Main Street such as the New Century Jewelry Shop. Mickey in diamonds really does go with everything! (Photo via Shop Disney)

8. Get on the waiting list for Club 33 ($25,000+). You can’t just call up Disneyland and say, “Hey, make me a member!” After all, it’s one of the most exclusive and coveted clubs in the nation for a reason. After doing time on a waiting list, if you’re lucky, you’ll need to go through a lengthy (and mysterious) screening process, which may or may not include interviews, references, essays, and naming your firstborn after an iconic Disney character. Once you jump through all the hoops, you can have the opportunity to join… for an initiation fee rumored to be about $25,000 and with another $10,000 a year in dues every year.

9. Make a whole weekend of it with Adventures by Disney ($2,239+ per adult; $2,129+ per child). Why plan a thing when you could have Disneyland’s travel arm do all that work for you? Their four-day, three-night Disneyland Resort and Southern California Short Escape is sprinkled with “backstage magic,” including visits to The Walt Disney Studios and the Disney Archives, a private tour of Walt Disney Imagineering, and exclusive experiences at Disneyland, like seeing Walt Disney’s private apartment.

Every Gilmore Girls fan knows that Luke and Lorelai were always endgame. Despite the fact they had to watch each other get into different relationships (while I love Max, I'll never be able to stomach the way Christopher acts ugh). But there's one moment in an early Gilmore Girls episode that teases Luke and Lorelai getting married, and even though I've watched it countless times I never caught it before!

Here's that Luke and Lorelai wedding detail you probably missed in Gilmore Girls season 2.

Lorelai teased her wedding date way before 'A Year in the Life'

@dianaathome Caught on my 11523rd rewatch 🤯 #gilmoregirls#gilmoregirlstiktok @valeriescateyescream ♬ original sound - Diana @ Home

Gilmore Girls season 2, episode 3, "Red Light on the Wedding Night" opens with Lorelai and Rory tasting Fran's cakes at Weston's Bakery ahead of Lorelai's wedding to Max. And when Fran insists the girls stay to figure out exactly which cake flavor they like the best, sticking firm to the idea that there's nothing more important than your wedding day, Lorelai doesn't bat an eye when she says, "Well, it ain't Guy Fawkes Day." And TBH, Fran's confused response is exactly how I felt the first time I watched this episode.

We all know Lorelai gets cold feet when she realizes she's not actually in love with Max and bails on him before the wedding. After all, it's definitely more memorable than Lorelai's joke, which I've always taken to be a throwaway line (she really does have a random sense of humor). That is, until @dianaathome on Tiktok pointed out that Guy Fawkes Day, a British holiday celebrating the failed Gunpowder Plot that happened in 1605, takes place on November 5 — the same day as Luke and Lorelai's wedding in A Year in the Life.

I can't believe I never caught this! And I'm not the only one. "I don't know if I'm more impressed that someone snuck this in or that you found it!" one user commented, while another says, "It is Helen Pai and Dave Rygalski's anniversary. [Luke and Lorelai's] original wedding date June 3rd is Helen Pai's birthday!" (Helen Pai is the real-life, albeit loose, inspiration for Lane Kim!)

Now, while this is a super fun connection to find, a lot of Gilmore Girls viewers are realizing just how much they dislike Lorelai's behavior in the actual scene (as in, eating all the cake knowing Sookie was already preparing one). And it's sparked a ton of conversation.

"I felt so bad for [Fran]! She put all the effort and make all those adorable and tasty cakes and the two of them are like “Hehe screw ethics we get to eat free cake!”since Sooki was just going to make one for free," one Reddit user says. "Maybe it’s the service industry in me talking but I can’t get over how annoyed I would be."

Another goes so far as to say this scene is why they "I like to think this is the reason she wouldn’t sell the Dragonfly to Lorelai & Sookie. Revenge."

If Fran's cake tasting really was free, then eating her out of house and home just for fun is definitely not cool, Lorelai. (Although I still think it's not as unrealistic as her showing up to Chilton in a tee and shorts).

The world could use more kindness than we've seen lately because it feels like there's a lot of Mean Girls energy circulating online and in real life — and I don't mean by way of hilarious Tina Fey-written jokes.

Did you know the colors you are surrounded with can enhance your mood and energy? Think about the color palette in your closet right now. What colors are you most drawn to? Before you freak out if black or gray are your go-to colors for your daily wear (guilty!) maybe after reading this, it will inspire you to step out of your comfort zone and try to work with new colors. What if I tell you that your astrological sign has a designated color palette to support your journey?

Color therapy, or “chromotherapy,” can supplement your well-being. Integrating astrology will also help you pinpoint the colors you are most attracted to and how to become more in tune with yourself. Astrology is a fantastic modality for gauging self-acceptance while also becoming your best self, and color therapy is the therapeutic means to rebalance and power up your goals.

Working with the colors assigned to your zodiac sign can support your mental, emotional, and physical well-being. Read on to learn how color therapy works and which color palette best suits your zodiac sign!

Here's how to make color therapy work for your zodiac sign — and feel good doing it!

What is color therapy?

Helena Lopes

Color therapy is a holistic, non-invasive modality used for the body. Historical figures such as Pythagoras (circa 2,500 years ago) applied “color light” therapeutically, while “color halls” were used as a means of treatment in ancient Egypt, China, and India. The modern medical pioneer patron of color therapy was Niels Finsen of Denmark in 1877. He discovered that visible light was how ultraviolet or red light energy could heal wounds, bacterial infections, or scars. Sounds familiar? In this present, infrared light therapy is used for pain relief, improved sleep, inflammation, facials, detoxes, and more. Knowing this, you can see why color and light restores our mind, body, and emotional needs.

There are many ways in which you can work best with color therapy. To implement physical changes, you can update your selection of colors in your clothing, nail colors, makeup palette, or home decor. For the mind and emotional system, you can work with colors through visualization practices like art, meditation, or a color therapy lamp.

How Can Color Therapy and Astrology Work Together?

let mous

Color therapy works by frequency or wavelengths of colors, which can have a physiological or psychological impact on our well-being. Using appropriate colors guided by your zodiac sign can rebalance or harmonize your body’s energy centers. How can color therapy integrate with your zodiac sign? It begins by knowing and working with your Sun sign, granting you more confidence and understanding regarding your direction. It extends our overall vitality and spreads endless radiance in our lives. It fuels our well-being and emits light wherever it touches in the birth chart. In principle, our Sun sign is our destination point, our identity. Now, the Sun Sign is where we can reach that higher level of understanding about our process and how we will experience fulfillment in this life. Incorporating color therapy guided by astrology can help you obtain confidence, and when you feel balanced, you make sound choices.

​How Colors Align With Zodiac Signs

Brit + Co

Observing the astrological signs, they are all categorized within the elemental values. Starting with fire, the signs Aries, Leo, and Sagittarius are placed within this element. These signs hold precedence over the esoteric realm of spirit as they are meant to initiate, inspire, and teach. Fire tones are within the spectrum of golds, reds, and oranges.

The signs Taurus, Virgo, and Capricorn reside within the earthy realm. They are supportive, detailed, and persevering in nature. The earth element enables humanity to take a firm stance involving patience or consistency. Deep greens, grays, and navy are colors that hold a grounded energy for these signs.

The signs Gemini, Libra, and Aquarius inhabit the air element. Those who hold this element strongly have the skill to circulate a constant flow of ideas, remain stimulated, and effectively communicate. Air energy guides humanity in the exchange of information, negotiation, and evolution. For clarity, the colors that best support these signs are yellows, pastel blues, or electric blues.

Ending with Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces, these signs embody the water element. Natives with a strong water element are receptive to others' feelings and can be intuitive. They can also conjure creativity, withstand intensity, and dive deep into the world of dreams. Colors such as purples, deep reds, or soft greens can help these signs invoke self-love and confidence.

​Color Therapy Visualization Technique

Anh Nguyen

Now that you know which color vibrates with your zodiac sign, you can use this visualization technique to connect more with your Sun sign. Color therapy is a powerful tool for balancing energy, emotions, and well-being. By using the healing properties of colors, you can encourage emotional release, relaxation, and revitalization. Each color carries its frequency and vibration, which can help align and support different aspects of your life, from physical health to mental clarity.

This color therapy visualization technique will guide you through grounding, relaxation, and energetic renewal. Connecting with the colors that resonate with you will activate healing energy within your body and mind, clearing away any negative or stagnant energy. It’s a simple yet powerful practice that you can do daily to restore balance and promote a sense of calm and well-being.

Energetic Healing Visualization Technique

Mikhail Nilov

  1. Position yourself comfortably or sit in a lotus position. Place your left hand over your heart area.
  2. Take a deep breath through your nose, then exhale slowly through your mouth. With each breath, feel your body becoming more relaxed.
  3. Focus on the soles of your feet and imagine an energetic pull grounding you, anchoring you in the present moment.
  4. Take another deep breath, feeling a nurturing energy rising from the ground, reaching up to the soles of your feet. Allow this energy to gently move upward, relaxing and energizing your body—feet, calves, thighs, core, shoulders, arms, neck, face, and head.
  5. Imagine a bright, glowing light in the sky above you. This light represents your Higher Self.
  6. See the light spiraling down toward you, entering through the crown of your head and flowing through your body. As it moves, it changes into a vibrant color that resonates with you.
  7. Take another deep breath and allow the colored light to fill your core center. Visualize it growing brighter and expanding with each breath, filling your entire body.
  8. Imagine the light forming a dome or egg-like shape around your body, extending outward, cleansing your physical and energetic space.
  9. Release any tensions, worries, or negative energy, visualizing them fading away into the ground. Trust the process of transformation.
  10. Continue this visualization as long as you need. When you feel light and neutral, place your hands in a prayer position and silently offer thanks.
  11. Visualize the light around you returning to its source, and when ready, gently open your eyes.

This practice can be done 1-2 times daily, ideally in the morning or before bedtime.
