Love your videos, but still don't get the "furtherest out" genie + trick.
Thank you so much for being thorough! All these tips were really helpful 😊
I am amazed how good the park is flowing on a dang SATURDAY!! wild, you got lucky lol
We were there two weeks ago on a Saturday and Monday and I can confirm that Saturday was significantly less crowded than Monday. Gotta be key holder blockouts and ticket deals that are making weekends now the best time to go.
We are going in July... let's see how it goes...
Do you know what rides will still be closed in September?
Aloha Last trip for us to DL was Oct, 2023 they were really good about figuring out the way to get the lines moving fairly, they load the first 2 cars with the lightning lane guys and then the rest with standby., so line goes faster.
We are blocked out 😭😭 we were there 2 weeks ago but feels like so long
It was so nice seeing you and your beautiful family at the Park! Thank you for sharing your amazing / informative videos! Truly one of the best Disney content creators!
C’mon! Don’t sleep on the fried cheddar at Corndog Castle!
Wow what a great day! Thanks for the update. Just an idea, but how about a WDW vacation cost video? I loved the Disneyland one, found it super helpful and have rewatched it multiple times.😊
Thank you so much for all the advices… I’m going for the first time next October and I’m taking all the notes to have the best days possible…
Great video. Thanks for posting. Bluto's Bilge Water Barges water ride is way better than Kali River Rapids. You should have tried it. Dudley Do-Right Falls is also a lot of fun.
We didn’t feel like getting drenched beyond reason 🤣 if we had planned to go back to the hotel for a break we would’ve but we stayed in the park the whole day.
Oooooh there is a kitty cat! I really enjoy watching your videos! Thank you!
According to touringplans weekend days would be more crowded than week days in summer. Do you know why that is or is Touringplans not that dependable for DL? What do you recommend to predict crowds?
Good Morning to you
Good Morning to you
Looking at touring plans crowd calendar weekdays were a 9 and sat was a 3. Nuts
A lot of the weekday crowds right now are because of the Monday-Thursday discount ticket deal.
I'd love to see a comparison between Monday to Thursday before and after the 3 day 1 Park sale that started June 10th. Looking at the wait times this week have been long. Father's Day was dead compared.
Y the way, I , too, stayed at Lowe’s Royal Pacific and my daughter and I absolutely loved staying there. Although we loved the water taxi to the park, we equally enjoyed the walk to/fro the park. In general, I think you should’ve taken advantage of hopping between the two Universal parks there. It was especially fun to ride 3/4 Hogwart’s train(I don’t know the official name) in order to “hop” over to the next park.
We’ve done it before, and the extra cost of the Park to Park ticket was something we were trying to avoid as the vacation was already expensive enough as it was. We also heavily considered hoppers at Disney, but decided against it.
@disneyland California our favorite was gradian of the galaxy but we were in the back and really wanted to our pic but the people in the front had all there hands up blocking the cam. So we were disappointed
My theory is that weekends are going to be lighter than weekdays, because those 3-Day tickets were more expensive.
That is Amy’s theory as well. After seeing how light the day was.
I’ve been watching each video for your Orlando Trip and I have to say it’s a pleasure to watch you enjoy your family vacation. Thank you for sharing with us. You are a joy to watch. I think you have such a sweet and lovely family.
Not to busy. I like it. A hidden Donald. I had no clue. I'm happy that their is a hidden DD. So cool. I wonder if any other characters are hidden somewhere.
I went to Disneyland last Thursday and I went around 5pm. It was surprisingly not busy and lines were 30-40 minutes. Rise was 35 minutes and Space Mountain was an hour long the longest wait time I had to wait
Just wanted to pop on and thank you for all the videos. We are long time Worlders who are on our first trip to DL and DCA, and your videos are exceptionally helpful and give us a look at what's happening in the parks. I'm so glad we found your channel! 😊😊😊
Still watching
I love how Aladdin just walked by & u didn’t even flinch! 😂
I didn’t see him. 😅 Tunnel vision.
One of my friends is turning 40 next week so a few of us are heading to Disneyland during the first week of July! First time in Disneyland for all of us. We are excited and hope the weather isn’t too much hotter than it was for you on the 15th. That sounded great.
We were there on Monday, the lines were pretty good all day, except Jungle Cruise and Small World. Went in Big Thunder twice (my 9 year old niece LOVED it!), posted at 45 minutes, got on in about 15-20 minutes. Weather was great with June gloom clouds most of the day with some sun. Did Smugglers Run single rider (Great!), and my niece did Matterhorn single rider. It was a great day!!
I'm never trying to go in the "off" season again. It was so busy when we went. Not worth the lower ticket price. I'm only going when pass holders aren't allowed. 😂
I was just there on Tuesday (yesterday) and as the day went on, wait times increased incrementally. Rise went up to 90, Pirates 30, Buzz Lightyear 40, Star Tours 50 minutes, Space Mountain 90 minutes, Small World was a walk on due to the parade happening, Mickey and Minnie’s runaway railway was at 45 after the parade dispersed. DCA: Guardians 100+ minutes, Cars 100+, Cars Single Rider 50, Soarin’ Single Rider 44 min, Soarin’ 60 +minutes, Disneyland closed @8 for Pride Night, so DCA queue lines doubled, even with World of Color starting. But we still had fun. We just didn’t get to go on all the rides we had hoped to. Did NOT buy LL or Genie Plus. We had out of state guests.
Thanks for the June update Traver, we are so excited today is TRAVEL DAY !! 🎉❤
Yes!!! Enjoy your trip and have a magical time!
@SoCalDisneyDad thanks we certainly will. Hopefully we get to see you , Amy and the boys on July 1st .
What a beautiful day at Disneyland! Thank you for sharing!
I’m thinking maybe because it’s graduation and Father’s Day weekend people aren’t going to Disney?
We were there last week and it was crazy busy with very long lines
Summer is my least favorite time to visit Disneyland, but as a Magic Key Pass holder I gotta use it often.
less then 10 minute gang ---------------------------------------------------------------->
Gang gang
Question if I book a lighting lane get in a standby lane and then the standby takes longer than expected, can I modify that lightning lane either once my time has opened or after it’s passed? Not my intention to do so but just trying to plan.
Thank you for taking us on your vacation, this was so much fun to watch! ❤
Have you rode Soarin’ at Disneyland on both the left and right screens? The first time we went, they sent us to the screen on the left and it was super clear and good quality but then we went again earlier this year and were sent to the screen on the right and it seemed to be much darker and harder to see. Also we have some bday cards sending out on Friday!
I’ve noticed on our trips to Disneyland that if I change out of my tennis shoes to comfy flip flops my feet don’t hurt as bad now. So I always bring a pair with me. I even wear them in the winter.
I really enjoyed binging on your WDW series these past few days! I went there in 1989 and 1992 as a kid, and I'm hoping to take my family in 2026. We've been to Disneyland several times and once to Tokyo Disney. Next year we're going to Disneyland Paris.
We also have two boys and they are just older than yours (9 and 12), but it makes me so nostalgic to see your kiddos and reminds me of my boys when they were younger with their reactions and first times doing things. We love the skyliner as well and on our last WDW trip our sons both spent their own money on the same yeti and figment plushes! Thanks for sharing.
Hi- I have 3 questions for you experts… 1. if one has early entry, should we go ahead to rope drop Peter Pan? 2. If one has early entry and rides Peter Pan at rope drop, then what time would one expect to make be able to make it back to a character breakfast at Plaza Inn? (trying to plan a character breakfast but don’t know ow what time to get) 3. What would you advise is the best way to use one’s early entry? Thanks!!
Peter Pan has a 20 minute wait during early entry, so provided you arrive at 7:30 AM when it opens, you’ll have ridden it by 7:50 at the absolute worst. But you might get done sooner. You could potentially also ride Space Mountain before 8 AM and the regular rope drop crowds get released. If you did a 8:15 character breakfast that would allow you to check in anywhere from 8:00-8:30, which is plenty of time to ride both those rides provided you are ready to begin riding right at 7:30. Gates open at 7:15-7:20 I believe.
I’m taking my wife and 14 year old son I’m leaving the toddlers at home with a babysitter lol
This is the way.
Great WDW vacation videos. Thanks for sharing it all. I especially like seeing the food you order - even snacks.
I feel the same way when I see the tree of life- it's like getting new breath
For a future video, if you can please find out why the Plaza Inn Dining Package just stops being offered after July 14 that appears to be a mystery at this time. Plaza is still open, nothing new on the reburb list.
Hi, Me again… Question: I’m going on October and I know the Guardians at mid-afternoon change to a Halloween themed. Can I book Genie+ in the AM for the regular Guardian and then in the PM for the Halloween version? Will allow me to do that? (I know is 1 ride per day with Genie. Just curious) Or what strategy you recommend for me to do both versions? Thanks 😊
According to the internet, it sounds like they are considered two different attractions meaning you could book two different lightning lanes. However, we have not personally tested this out to confirm. If you wanted to be safe, then rope drop regular guardians and then save the lightning lane for later. Or ask a cast member if you have time when you first get there.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you so much
