      He's definitely the most informative, especially if you are traveling with young kids. Not many Disney CZcamsrs talk about the experience as a person with kids. Most of them are coming at it from the "Disney Adult" perspective. So, it's a nice change. He also packs a crazy amount of information into such short videos.

      Much appreciated! Fun fact: only about 30% of viewers make it to the end of a video (that’s just a CZcams average across all channels).
      So it’s always great to see who stuck with it! Thank you!

    Still watching! Also wanted to agree, best western park place inn’s location just can’t be beat. We only stay there since it’s easier with our littles to be so close to the park.

  • @trishellis4553
    @trishellis4553 Před 25 dny +3

    We are coming for the first time in June. We have always been Disney World people but we moved to the west coast and so our kiddos will have Disneyland childhoods. Your videos have been so helpful! Especially making sure that there is enough Disney magic in Disneyland and that some prefer it and I love that this is where it all began with Walt actually walking the streets. Thanks for your videos!

  • @julieschooler
    @julieschooler Před 24 dny +2

    Thanks, super helpful! Always watch to the end. I have to say if I had not watched your videos we would have had a really hard day at the park. With all your help we navigated a very busy park day with Genie+ and some middle of the day downtime really well. It was a massive, magical day and we couldn’t have done it without your vlog.

    @3drage Před 25 dny +3

    The best thing I like about grabbing a nearby hotel is that if you're an overplanner....you already know what items you want to buy from shops. So you pick a time during your trip and grab everything you're looking for and head to the hotel. Drop it all off and then you don't have to worry about carrying a bunch of stuff with you or paying for a locker. Side benefit is that all your shopping is done and you can focus on all the other wonderful things.

    Still watching. I made the mistake. Went in February for my birthday. My niece and Sister were with me. Disneyland was closing at 8. We had no clue why. It was the Sweetheart night. And they actually wouldn't let us shop. It was are last night. My niece was looking for a certain ring. She was so upset. We did find it at the Grand Californian store. It's definitely a mistake I won't make again.

    Great informative video. I learned most of this stuff from watching a bunch of other videos before my trip, but this is a nice consolidation. All this stuff helped me have an amazing single day at Disneyland. Interesting about the "off-season" not existing anymore.

    We love getting photos from the Disneyland photographers and only ever do 3 days so only myself purchases genie+ for the 3 days (family of four, 1 and 3 yr old now) so we have full access to magic shots from the photographers and the magic lenses which is our entertainment while waiting in line and the photos we get are amazing. I have purchased genie+ for 6 days and never actually ever used lightning lane

    Always watching. I never rent a car, just an EVC for my mobility issues. I'm more comfortable staying on site for that reason alone. There's always room for my ECV, and I don't have to worry about how I'm getting to the parks. The early entry and other extras for us are a great value too. Keep up the great work! 👍

  • @nadyambtwenty
    @nadyambtwenty Před 23 dny

    We used to live in SoCal but have moved out of state 3yrs ago. We always enjoy watching your videos. ☺️
    We will be in SoCal to spend winter break and are all set to go to DL and DCA on the last 3 days of 2024. I always hear about exiting the park, since we have small kiddos, around the 2-4pm window. My fear is that what if the park reached its max capacity and we would be denied of re-entry. Some said it is not happening now due to the reservation system BUT there are some that shared they experienced being denied until guests volume has gone down.
    Do you have any input on this topic? Note: We are not getting park hopper. Thank you in advance!

    Watched the entire video. You always deliver great content and helpful information. Also worth noting… I saw people get up the elevator on Guardians with a child that wasn’t officially tall enough. The cast members will check if it is questionable.
    Thanks again for all you do.

    @rachel77656 Před 22 dny

    Still watching! We are breaking a few of these -- staying at Disneyland Hotel, coming on a night with a special event (so we'll have to leave the park early) --- but we have limited time we can be on vacation due to work, so this is just how it worked out! And we're splurging on Disneyland Hotel for the magic of it all. We've been doing cheap vacations for the last year to save up for this!

    Hi, I’m so glad I found your channel! We're headed to Disney in a month for our first trip in almost 2 years…Genie+ is new to me, so I’m debating if we need it all 3 days. We’re doing 1 park per day (2 days Disneyland, 1 day DCA) and it’ll be 2 adults, 2 children (ages 5 and 1) - my thoughts were doing Genie + the first day at Disneyland and if we feel we didn’t get to do all the “big rides,” we can choose to add it for the last day. Thoughts? Thank you for all your info, especially in regards to saving money, tips for kids, etc.!

  • @mollyav4390
    @mollyav4390 Před 24 dny

    Please make a video about a full day/multi day plan for going with babies and toddlers who are not tall enough to ride many rides. We went last year and utilized a lot of your advice and are going again this summer with our 2 year old. Like a “perfect day” with toddlers and babies at Disneyland. Also, do you recommend lightening lane if it’s just two adults traveling with a toddler? We didn’t do it last year, but considering for this year. Appreciate all your videos and recommendations! We loved Candy Cane Inn and SO many of your other recommendations! Please thank Amy and the boys too!
