PLAN THE MOST MAGICAL TRIP EVER — WITHOUT THE OVERWHELM
This is a fan-made,unofficialDisneyland Resort planning spreadsheet built by a theme-park superfan. Not affiliated with or endorsed by The Walt Disney Company.

Disneyland & California Adventure trip planner spreadsheet with 9 integrated tabs — countdown, itinerary conflict alerts, group ride ranking, Lightning Lane engine, dining bucket list, expense splitter, packing matrix, and a brand-new Reservations Hub. Works in Excel & Google Sheets.

WHAT'S INSIDE — 9 integrated tabs:

Trip Dashboard & Countdown — auto countdown to your trip, milestone alerts (dining reservations open 60 days out at 6:00 AM PT, hotel balance due 30 days, park reservations 90/60 days, Lightning Lane booking 7 days), real-time budget metrics (planned vs. spent vs. remaining vs. balance due later), 6-person roster, and a verified-data stamp with re-check reminders.
Park Day Mobile Dashboard — single-column phone view: pick a date and your day auto-filters; check off items as you go; new Quick-Glance box shows your next 3 must-dos, next dining reservation and park hours without scrolling.
Itinerary & Conflict Checker — 30-minute time slots 6 AM–12 AM, location dropdowns, and an overlap engine: it knows how long it takes to walk between lands (editable walk-time key) and flags any booking that starts too soon after the previous one — "⚠ tight → move or pad." Add weather (rain auto-highlights) and sunset for fireworks-night checks.
Group Ride Ranker & Lightning Lane Engine — 65 attractions pre-loaded with land, height requirement, rider switch and Multi/Single Pass tier; up to 6 member ratings feed an auto group score, "MUST-DO" tags, a top-ride shortlist, and a new AUTO ROUTE that lists must-ride lands in walking order.
Dining & Snack Bucket List — 51 restaurants & snacks by land and service type, ADR confirmation log, price-tier ratings (–$), mobile-order tracker, estimated vs. actual spending.
Budget & Expense Splitter — log every expense once; Paid By + Split Between selects automatically build a "Who Owes Whom" settlement matrix with a spending pie chart. New: deposit tracking — log what you've paid and Due Later $ calculates itself, per category.
Outfit & Packing Matrix — daily Disney-bounding plan per person with weather and shoes, packing status (Owned / Need to Buy / Packed), 20-item park-bag checklist with live completion counter, plus a forecast check-in column.
Master Instructions & Color Guide — step-by-step setup, formulas, color palette, Google ↔ Excel translation, changelog and verified data-as-of list.
Reservations Hub — every booking in one place: park reservations, ADRs, Lightning Lane picks, hotel, shows. Confirmation numbers, statuses, and automatic 🔔 alerts the moment anything lands inside the 3-day window; auto-lists your next 3 days and pulls booked ADRs straight from Tab 5.

WHO IT'S FOR: families, couples, and Disney-bounding groups of up to 6 — including first-timers who want the countdown and milestone reminders, and veterans who want the Lightning Lane engine and conflict checker. Both parks (Disneyland + DCA), Park Hopper-friendly.
