ADJUSTMENT: I mistyped the height requirement for Chip and Dale’s GADGETcoaster. It is supposed to be 35 inches. As much as I tried to doublecheck my facts, this one slipped through. Apologies!
I love Jungle Cruise! When I was a little kid I thought we were actually traveling down a river and all the animals were real. Jokes went right over my head. So happy to see it earned some respect in this overview!
I ranked the rides last year, and I might do it again this year, I don't know, because my opinions haven't really changed much. But Jungle Cruise is my #3 ride below Rise of the Resistance and Space Mountain.
This video is so well made and informative. Very entertaining and fun to watch. Thank you so much for your hard work. Its always a joy to see you and your family enjoying the parks. Hope to see you there one day!!!
I went to Disneyland back in I believe 1996 and more than half of the rides shown in the video were rides that were there when I went I can’t believe it hasn’t changed very much
In the '80s & '90s you could get an early access ticket at the nearby Marriott which was a much better place to stay than the Disney hotel. Had a minibus taking you to park.
We went on Snow White ride back in 2018 and it was snow whites scary adventure, and in the middle of the ride it stopped in the dark forest with the witch starring at us and it was pretty scary!
Please report about the Disneyland railroads' Sweeper trip because today they closed it at 12am, Please ask a cast member for more information if you like. Thank you
To prepare for our upcoming visit to the Disneyland Resot this month, I will be giving my family a homework assignment to watch this video and your DCA ride guide. Then they can tell me which attractions they DON'T want to ride (for me it's the spinning teacups...gah!), as well as their top Must Ride attractions. I really appreciate all your videos as I've been planning this trip. Thank you, Traver (and Amy)!
That’s the way to do it! Having a priority list of rides is one of my top tips before visiting. That way every family member leaves happy because if nothing else they rode their favorites.
Thanks for all your info! It had been almost 20 years since we last went to Disneyland so I was binging all the videos to get a lay of the land and the app. Yours was very helpful on all fronts!
Those canoe boats looked hellsa long! How cool is this place?! I went when I was 14 with my church youth group. I'm now 38 and wanna go back to try all the new rides even tho I'm grown with no kids;]😊
Since you included the treehouse, you should also have included the Sleeping Beauty castle walkthrough with the little scenes from the movie. Other rides not included: all of those vehicles going up and down Main Strett.
The treehouse was only included because it was newly refurbished and opened since my previous ride guide. So it was an update for others to be aware of.
I went to Disneyland in December and Animal Kingdom in this pass weekend. I agree with you 100%. Indiana Jones is most definitely better than Dinosaur.
No mention of the two rides turning 60 this year? It's a Small World and Tomorrow Land's People Mover? Hope to get some 60th pins for these attractions!
Love your videos! Can you do “how to celebrate birthday/anniversary or whatever” videos? The only thing I know is you can get a pin on your birthday 🤣 Thinking about taking our daughter to the princess boutique but I don’t know what else we can do🤔
The other buttons you can get are a “I’m celebrating (they write in what you’re celebrating), one that’s for weddings/anniversary’s, the birthday button and a first time button. I know some people buy ones on Etsy too. As far as Birthdays, we usually make a reservation at a table service restaurant and buy a fun snack that day.
Yeah, Disneyland is actually pretty lax with a lot of their ride requirements. No height to ride Mad Tea Party, but LEGOLAND's version of the exact same thing requires both 42 inches AND 4 years of age minimum.
Another comparison I can think of is SeaWorld requires children to demonstrate that they can walk when there is no height requirement. So that means children are at least around 9-12 months of age. For most rides at Disneyland, that's really nice because we did take James for the first time when he was only 8 weeks old, and we could take him on a lot of things with us. But, yeah, Pirates has those drops and I am surprised there isn't at least some restriction like must be able to sit in their own seat. The only ride I can think of at Disneyland that has some sort of requirement like that is Golden Zephyr. I know they need to be sitting fully in the seat for that one, so infants are out of the question.
If you AREN'T staying at a Disney hotel, then yes, it's a valid strategy to go to the opposite park. Because anybody staying at the hotel who does NOT have a park hopper ticket will select the park with early entry and be stuck in that park all day. This means not only do the early entry rides already have lines before rope drop, but it means the park could potentially be busier due to extra enticement to choose that park.
Your videos have been so helpful for my trip planning!! What would be your recommended rope drop strategy for Disneyland for a solo adult visitor with Genie+ and a mission to get on as many rides as possible (with Rise not being a priority)?
Here are both of my Genie+ videos if you’re interested. I believe both feature Rope Drop scenarios (we might have even done the same thing. These videos were about 8 months apart). The first video is more focused on delivering the tips and How-To, while the second video is us putting those tips into action to maximize our day. 26 Best Genie+ Tips czcams.com/video/jh8E6N5V12M/video.html Genie+ Challenge czcams.com/video/DyN-dnbgyjs/video.html
When is the new Splash Mountain opening? We are visiting around the 12th/15th of February and some of these dates the park closes at 8pm would you advise avoiding the days the park closes at 8?
It is. But I’ve discovered a new problem lately. I’m not sure if it’s certain seats or all of them, but the position in which you have to put your legs in the vehicle puts a strain on my left hip that causes a lot of pain. Yesterday when I rode it I had to pull my leg out of the spot they have designed for it to go to get the pain to stop, and that was a pretty uncomfortable position too because there isn’t a lot of space. But at least my hip wasn’t hurting. So yeah, the ride just hurts all over.
@SoCalDisneyDad Rumor I heard from a Security Castmember New Orleans Square this past week. Tiana's Bayou Adventure and the refurbished Haunted Mansion will open at the same time this fall. As part of that, Tiana will be incorporated into New Orleans Square. Don't know if it is true but that is what I heard.
It makes sense for Tiana’s to be part of New Orleans Square. Right now, the rumors indicate Haunted Mansion will open at the end of August when Halloween starts. But Tiana’s is slated for Late 2024. Which I take to mean November, in time for Christmas. Still pretty warm here in November. I think it’s been 90 on the first day of Christmas food at Disneyland the last two years. For them to come out together, one or both of those is wrong. Either way, I’m looking forward to whatever.
Here’s last years. I doubt I’ll be redoing it in the near future as I’m not sure when I’ll make it back to Universal. I think the next time is possibly mid February. All 12 Universal Studios Hollywood Rides 2023 | Ultimate Guide czcams.com/video/fF8xBe4SZfE/video.html
13:22...what do you mean on not on genie standard service and on a la carte? if i buy the standard park ticket and nothing extra....i can still go wait in line for this ride, right?
Correct. Standby is still available. It’s just not on Genie+. But it still has a lightning lane. You just have to pay a separate fee if you want to use that specific lightning lane. But standby is still an option.
Me and my sister are hoping to go to Disneyland for the first time later this month. We only have one day though. I'm confused about the park hopper. Is it to use if you want to go in between Fantasyland, tomorrowland and main street usa? etc? Pls let me know if you could thanks!!! Also how can you get the discounted tickets that you mentioned?
A park hopper is for access to both Disneyland and Disney California Adventure in a single day. All the lands within a single park are all available on a one-park-per-day ticket. As for discounted tickets, I don’t recall what I mentioned in the video, but call Get Away Today as they’ll be able to help you get the best deal for your trip. Here’s a link to their website: socaldisneydad.com/get-away-today/ (It’s a redirect that sends you to them via my affiliate link.) Be sure to mention my channel if you call. They’ll give you an extra discount if you book a package.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you so much for getting back to me so quick! Me and my sister have been watching CZcams videos about rides in Disneyland and yours was the best one I've found. Going to binge watch until we go!
We didn't end up needing the park hopper but we had so much fun! We went last Sunday and the weather was perfect. Also the locals that were there were so nice.
Yes and no. You can absolutely not spin it. Or do your best to spin the opposite direction that the car is trying to go. You will spin to some extent anyway. But you absolutely don’t have to crazy spin.
Hello, when looking for updated Genie Plus LL times how do I update the Disney app? Do I close the app all together or just pull down? Thank you! from BC Canada
If you just pull down on the Tip Board it will refresh. For this reason, it’s recommended that you pin your top 2-3 attractions you’re looking for next that way they stay at the top when you refresh. Once you ride one, swap it out for another pinned attraction.
You said ROTR is your favorite ride, I was just curious if there was a video of you and your family reacting to the first time you rode it? I'm guessing that was before your vlog days.
It unfortunately was. Would have been back in 2019. And while my first ever video I posted dates back to then, I only had like 3-4 videos before January 2021 when I started taking vlogging a bit more seriously. I’ll have a look through my old footage though, and if one of the videos has it that’s unlisted (because I think I removed the old old content) I can share a link directly here.
Found it, the videos are still up on the channel. It's our first WDW trip on the channel, back in 2020. I don't believe we actually ever rode it after it opened at Disneyland in Jan 2020 because it was so crowded, and then March 2020 hit and it closed. Be warned, I wasn't really all that excited because I was still pretty bad at vlogging. 😂 First time on Rise: czcams.com/video/jjs3dkieIjY/video.html Now, if you'd like to see me gush about a ride I think is BETTER than Rise, last year I went on Cosmic Rewind in EPCOT for the very first time and oh man, I LOVED it.

@@SoCalDisneyDad dang! Our little guy will be almost 2 when we go and we were hoping he would get a chance to hop on it. All good! Thank you for following up
Some people see something appear on the refurb calendar and freak out. I’ve seen a few people fret over this. But when it first appears, all we see is the closure date. The calendar only goes two days beyond this right now, so we can’t see a reopening date. It’s possible it’ll only be closed for 4-5 days max. I can’t imagine it being closed through Spring Break. So really all we can do right now is wait to see more dates appear on the refurb calendar. I’ll cover it in February’s Construction update, which I won’t film for two more weeks. At that point we should have a clearer picture as to what’s going on. I just googled to see if there was any news on it and I discovered the source of the paranoia. Inside the Magic, a site known for rumors, click bait, and jumping on any bit of news to be “first” with really shoddy journalism is stirring the pot, as they usually do, by saying it’s closed “indefinitely.” All that means is there’s no reopening date listed. But as I said, the calendar only goes out 2 days past the closing date. Another news article from an actual news station, KTLA, says it will be closed for “nearly a week” for standard maintenance.
I just tested it out and it worked for me for setting up preferences on our next visit (February 3rd). Make sure you have the latest version of the app. And if you are up to date, then contact support via the Chat feature in the app and let them know you’re having trouble.
The Disneyland app is up to date. I contacted customer service on the app and they said to delete the app then reinstall. I did that but I still have the same problem. I will continue trying to figure out what is happening. I have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and some other updates happened so maybe that is what is causing the issue.
No, more like a motion simulator. It’s a vehicle on a track that uses hydraulics to simulate driving through a temple with rocks and stones all over the place. It’s pretty bumpy and jostles you around, but there are no coaster elements.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thank you for your prompt response! Much appreciated. I'm loving your videos, by the way. Very helpful with planning my Disneyland trip in May 2024 from Australia. 😁🇦🇺
It's not a ride. It's a show. I also did not include both Fantasyland theaters, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Tom Sawyer Island, or the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough. The only reason I included the Treehouse is because it's new as of two months ago.
I think Dinosaur is mostly scary because of how dark it is. You can’t see where you are going. There’s a “oh no, we aren’t going to make it, we are all going to die” sense of urgency to it. And there’s a lot of jump scares. Indiana Jones has a giant snake that lunges at you, but aside from that one moment, I think the experience is more fun than scary.
ADJUSTMENT: I mistyped the height requirement for Chip and Dale’s GADGETcoaster.
It is supposed to be 35 inches.
As much as I tried to doublecheck my facts, this one slipped through. Apologies!
it’s all good

Not currently, but the refurb calendar only goes out 6 weeks, so you will need to check in August.
Columbia has the more interesting script, but I think Mark Twain is the way to go for comfort

It was a copy/paste typo from a previous attraction. I have note pinned in the comments.

Uhhhhhh......Tiki Room???!!!!???
It's not a ride. It's a show.
I also did not include both Fantasyland theaters, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Tom Sawyer Island, or the Sleeping Beauty Castle Walkthrough.
The only reason I included the Treehouse is because it's new as of two months ago.
Some say the WDW AK Dinosaur is scary…. Would you say Indiana Jones is scary?
I think Dinosaur is mostly scary because of how dark it is. You can’t see where you are going. There’s a “oh no, we aren’t going to make it, we are all going to die” sense of urgency to it. And there’s a lot of jump scares.
Indiana Jones has a giant snake that lunges at you, but aside from that one moment, I think the experience is more fun than scary.
Thank you!!!! That is really helpful. My 8 year old doesn’t like jump scares. I’ll still watch a POV video, but this is helpful!
Until this day I still don’t like “Nemo submarine” 😬
It's not one we do all that often. Especially in the summer time as the sub smells like sweat. 😂
Fume spewing gas guzzler..spoken like a true liberal electric car owner
I am neither a liberal nor an electric car owner. But the Autopia carts do need to be overhauled.
Thanks socal
Thank you
