Have done --- sentence Have done is a present perfect tence generally it is used when the action is completed recently/just now

I have been to Disneyland --- even this also represents the past but its belongs to present perfect contineous tence

I had been to Disneyland ------ Past perfect continuous tence..... it means you went to disnely land in some time i

Thanks to clarified. if the period could be defined, we can use "had been"
If we couldn't defined the period of time simply we can use "I have been there for a month"
Am I correct?


Thanks
