Been watching the DL app last couple days and noticed some very low crowd levels and lines for most of the anaheim parks . I had to jump at the opportunity to see these 5 minute wait times myself . Yesterday’s video czcams.com/video/mCXugYPaNx4/video.html
umm that isnt a bad thing that their new thing istheir biggest thing rite now
Hmmm, empty it is! Mickey and Minnie dancing has to be the cutest thing I've ever seen.
Gotta love "more cowbell" !!
Laura Belzer has to make one wonder how long the lines are at Galaxy.😱
Oh you got on the fast side on the Matterhorn is it really bumpy my son like i set before I take him every November he's been on that ride and he's only nine he's trying to get me to go on that right I told him that side is faster than the other and bumpier and he will trick me so he can get me on any ride and I told him this time it will not work I told my son mommy has to have a few drinks to get on rides that have really big dips and that look like they're going to go off the edge lol and the three-year-old comes along and says what do you mean like coffee I told her something like that
Thanks for showing me that the rides I remember are still exactly the same...
45 years later.
Over priced and Boring...
He went to DCA, an ENTIRE OTHER THEME PARK, that was built less than 30 years ago. Either you're lying or you have a very bad memory...
@@andrewreegs6319 or... I remember the rides from Anaheim built in 1955 and they look exactly the same as in the newer park! I feel bad someone got a new park with old rides.
@@one-of-us9939 Yes, because we all know that they had launch coasters with inversions in Disneyland in 1955.
That's what makes Disney what it is now. Their rides are iconic and classics. Every generation of the family can experience riding the same rides. Some people would call the rides outdated but for me they are classic rides which paved the way for newer rides today.
Kids, this is what Disneyland used to be like from January thru May in the 1980s and 90s. Miss that time.
and oct/nov
This is what off peak WDW looked like the years following 9/11
David InPerris damn grandpa wtf are u doing here on the internet?
Still is in January and February.
@@XploreAz not in Orlando.. Lines of 40 for big thunder all day long pretty much nowadays off season
Quiz time. The lack of attendance due to:
a) A weekday
b) Lack of interest
c) Disdain for Disney politics
d) The $140 Entrance Ticket
e) All of the above.
Omg! Is it really $140 for a ticket?!?!? I need to google the prices. That’s outrageous. How is anyone supposed to afford that?
On the Quiz : All BUT b) - ...a) being the minor factor.
e) all of the above
Currently I think C has quite a bit to do with it lol
F) you didn't mention Disneys support for Homosexual, lesbian perversion parade, disneys open support for baby killing( abortion)
No one could afford the passes anymore so everyone moved on to Knott’s Berry Farm 🤣
MLJS_STV LOL I JUST BOUGHT A KNOTTS PASS CUZ OF THAT
Big Chungus lol it’s so much more affordable and worth it. I’ve been a Knott’s pass holder for 6 years now and I’ve definitely noticed there’s been a lot more people over the years. Now I know why 😆
If California wouldn’t tax the crap out of everyone people could afford it.
I hate knotts, there best feature is the steam train. My opinion of course.
@@inactive67 Lotsa gang-bangers as well.
"Wow, that's a really quick Pooh" lol
Jay came up with that one
I thought I was the only one who said wait a minute!
well it not a holiday is it? try japan.... I can never go there without being full.
With the prices they charge, I'm not surprised with this.
Michael Richter this video was shot at 8 am on a weekday during a local resident season ticket holder blackout. Don’t let it fool you, Disneyland is packed to capacity everyday.
$3.83/day if you buy the annual Signature Plus Passport.
It was Soo stupid that they did this price Hike. You say you wanted to cut down on the Wait for Rides but I bet you didn't expect this. And then the News about the wages as well
Ricky B they should have more blackouts for those idiots.
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH annual pass? Thats like 1.18k, yeah no....
It's empty because it cost over 1k to take my family there for one day and not have enough time to explore the entire park
Wow ..is it really that expensive now? Glad I at least to experience it as a kid in the very early 90s.
Go now
Sucker....
Country Road well you can do it in one day cos wait times are only are only 5 mins now 😝
It took my mom 10 k for my family forca week, not including food, and hotel and gas
AS AN OUT OF TOWNER, YOU ADD UP TICKETS, HOTEL AND FLIGHT...IT MEANS A NO GO.
Chris Goforth
Hotel?
Trivago.
@@taylorvanbelle6899 😂

I DONT KNOW WHAT WE’RE YELLING ABOUT
Disney genius. They finally figured out the 5 minute wait time for most rides. Thank you Galaxy's Edge!
Timotheus157 🏆
Yes
Timotheus157 galaxys edge is even slower than this.
They can raise a ticket price to $2,500 then it will be a 30 second wait line for all rides
Awe that guy was so proud of his hidden mickey!
Roselia Thorn "yah!"
I've been to Tokyo Disneyland in the fall, and stumbled across a similar one made with fallen leaves.
@@tyweripqol3939 :(
Same pride bill Cosby had
@@danielhowell1540 hahahaha
So the answer always was raising the prices... who would have guessed?
tbh I'd probably be willing to pay more if I knew the lines would be that short.
J A C E hell nah
@@jaceh4942 Me too.
I hate americans and their worship of disney shithols
@@WatchmyPlaylist. If you've ever been to one yourself you'd realize at least half the guests are foreign tourists
Just lower the damn prices disney! This is why knotts berry farm is becoming more popular and fun
Keeps the riff raff out
issac82983 Not really. Brings in a lot more of the "high price = fun" people, though.
Michelle Holloway Yes! Disney costs way too much.......outrageous as hell! Would love to go to the Magic Kingdom, but thier prices keep me away!😠😠😠😠 Disney should be freakin ASHAMED of themselves!!!
@@helixjc actually they have a lot of things to pay for. I'm currently at WDW are they I would like to tell you something. The very last day of Halloween (both WDW and DL) after the parks close and everyone is asleep, EVERYBODY immediately starts to deconstruct everything. They reuse the same decorations every year so they can't screw them up. They from 10/11:00 pm UNTIL 8/9:00 am the NEXT day (Nov. 1) to decorate EVERY park for Christmas. How you going to pay those people? What about the characters? Cast members? Disney will NEVER let something wear down. If it's fading, chipping, cracking, stops working, whatever it is, Disney works immediately to fix the problem with. Refurbishments take place to endure that everything looks brand new even if it's 30+ years old. How should you pay for those again? Oh, let's not forget about the amazing food, but don't worry they reuse what food doesn't get eaten into fuel to run buses, but how do you pay for it all? Let's not forget what the man who created it all. Walter Disney wanted one of many things for Disney, for it to NEVER be finished. Because as soon as you think you know what you're doing, they change it. Because it's business strategy that a lot of people don't understand. So next time you ask why is Disney expensive, remember that they employ more than 30,000 employees in just Disney World alone, and that there are Disneyland California, Tokyo, Shanghai, Paris, and World. Plus Cruise lines as well.
@@MorganWideman I highly, highly doubt Disney does it all in one day. Six flags spends 3-4 months preparing for Christmas, putting lights on trees etc. No one notices the lights or other hidden in plain sight decorations until they are turned on. I can nearly guarantee Disney does something similar. Disney has a lot more money so they can afford to do the final swap in a few hours and likely have better storage where they can store the props nearby outside guests view.
Most middle class people can't afford to go there anymore especially after Disneyland raised ticket prices. That is because the middle class has far less disposable income than it did 20 or 30 years ago when the park was slammer jack packed with people going on all the rides and waiting up to 2 or 3 hours in line to ride rides like Space Mountain.
Two to three hours wait to ride, I wouldn't do that and if I did then I lost my mind.
I dont think the middle class has less money, everyone i know has more money now than ever and we have kids. Its just that we DONT want go there! For the price of 3day pass, we can rent a cabin by a lake in utah for 6 people for 5 days.
@@desertbrewcrew1974 Half of the US population can't afford the basic necessities of life. Middle class income has been dropping like a rock for a very long time now. See below:

Californians need to vote out the politicians that keep raising taxes and putting foreigners ahead of their own citizens. They get what they vote for
@@mn1170 The only people that have seen any real cuts in their taxes are the top 1% most everybody else has found out when it came to file their income taxes this year that they owed a lot more money this year than years past. Oh yes and Disney should stop firing their American workers and replacing them with foreign guest H1b visa holders from mainly India.
That looked really fun! It's like having the place all to yourself. I appreciate your optimism in seeing the Teacups as "half full."
Ha always a glass half full guy
I remember one night, after close, my dad’s company reserved Hollywood Studios for only an hour (but when nobody else is in the park it feels like forever). They had some big convention for his company in the Orlando area and the salesmen’s families could come to HS that night by themselves. It was a blast!
Or half empy if your a pessimist.
Im more of the "Dam the bitch is empty" kind of guy
Corporations do reserve the park ounce in a while.
They keep rasing the damn prices. When it's over $100 dollars for and adults and kids. What do they expect.
It was €198 per adult for us for DL Paris and not much less for the kids... It's crazy. We'll never be able to go back.
It cleaned us out for the year and took 2 years to save for because of flights and accommodation. 🤷♀️
We could have gone to Spain twice for the price of 3 day pass and a 5 day stay.... Yet we all give Disney our hard earned money 🙄
Wanted to go back to DisneyWorld...ticket, hotel, and flight have skyrocketed.
I’m not surprised parks are thin of guests.
I went in april and it was 149 for a day.
With that price forget it. If their streaming service is gonna be premium I won't be bothering to get it either. I'll watch later when they realise they need to compete.
@Jerome O'Mara well l live in Ireland so it was logical. We went to America to visit family in 2016 and that journey is so taxing on the kids. I wouldn't do WDW in America as the journey over would be tiring enough. Europe is easier for us. Plus the kids like different cultures and learning different languages when away.
It's so strange and slightly uncomfortable seeing how empty and slow dlr has been omg
yes ... 666 doesn’t mean what you’ve been deceived to believe.
Whats dlr?
Jarred Elenz it’s short for Disneyland Resort.
@@AmandaaRose thanks for the reply! I kinda thought thats what it was
that's crazy it's empty....gasp you can ride haunted mansion unlimited times! :D
@Akashdeep Kareer wasn't that Tower of Terror?
It is there you're talking about tower of terror
Akashdeep Kareer I think you mean tower of terror,haunted mansion is still open
Jon Layes And Maybe one of the rides around actually won’t break down 😆
I have never seen Disneyland this empty and I've been going since 1964. Would love to experience that! Lol
You should have swung by Galaxy's Edge and shown what that looked like for comparison.
Keith Dean Space Mountain today was a longer wait than galaxy’s edge.
🤷♂️
There is stuff called money and it is not unlimited...
@boo boo yeah just saw a vid on it lol
@@banos3999 does Galaxy's edge cost separate entry tickets?
D. Aardentvarkitage Nope. Just a Disneyland day pass will get you in as well as grant you access to the rest of the park.
This was thanos’s mission...

It puts a smile on my face
@@bconroy328 I think this is the comment of the year.
If only Thanos snap half of the ticket price too.
@@arditeider2812 Yes! Rad!

In all my years of living in So Cal, I have NEVER EVER seen the lines that short. Never. If you ever planned on going, NOW is the time!
Adam! Hit me up! I'll go with you!
I think a lot of the video where it was totally empty was during the Magic Hour. Because, I was just there on Sun, Mon, and Tuesday. It was NOT that empty!
Not true, I was there Monday and it was empty, it was so empty they said that due to weather the fire work show was cancelled....the weather was perfect they just didn't want to spend the money.
Wow. A cloudy dead day at Disneyland. This is my dream!!
debusen81 why?
Max Blackstone well, low heat and short lines :)
debusen81 ok
5:23 “party pooper ruining it for the whole fucki- HEY! It’s a water ride”! 😂
I love the Jungle Cruise. The ride might be the same every time, but the experience is always different.
The boat guide gave not one solitary fuck.
"That a really quick Poo" I see what you did there and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
That's what it used to be like, late 90's early 00's at WDW during the slow times... it was... beautiful! Maybe DL has solved the over-crowded problem! :)
It’s true! We went Tuesday and it was incredible how short the waits were!!
I'll take an empty Magic Kingdom over Star Wars or Avatar Land any day.
Avatar Land is so so. Flight of passage is a nausiating motion simulator.
@@alanhowitzer LOL Flight of Passage is the best simulator right now and the least motion sickness inducing. If you can't handle that then you won't handle any screen rides at Disney or even Universal.
Sad, the new generation do not care for Disney, overpriced food , parking, hotels and tickets. Greedy corporate America.... rip-off !!
I think this really speaks to how many people were cramming into Disneyland for the last 5 years to see Star Wars stuff and now that it's open all those people are either over in SW Land or waiting to go in there.
Which, as a DLR fan, makes me happy. I get my parks back once I can re-up my Annual Pass.
My family went to Universal the week before the Harry Potter section was set to open. The place was dead like this. no lines and they had test runs of the Hogwarts and Hippogriff rides during the day. So we got to go on them anyway.
I had like 2 hour wait lines what????
What time of the year that you go there. Some parts of the year it gets packed and other parts of the year it's dead.
@@sonny12681 Early June, had just started summer vacation. Harry Potter officially opened mid-june
@@darkhorsedouglas4789 February and November are both the time of year when it gets very packed with people because the temperature is perfect outside.
Its empty because it's entirely unaffordable for thr average American family.
Lmao they are raising prices because too many people come every day, that's what people dont seem to realize. They are always crazy busy
Work harder
It's entirely unaffordable for the average Californian family! Even though Californians and locals get a discount off the yearly rates--the least of which is $600. A normal day pass for anyone is around $100 and that doesn't count the overpriced food and Made in Asia toys. No wonder Stay-cation has become the norm!
This is true
@@Yourprimofredo Most ignorant comment ever. Based on logic using false assumption premise. Also fails to take into consideration several extenuating factors. But yes, please show us all how arrogant and incompetent you are. How did you gage my work ethic? I would like to know the scale That you used, and how you applied it, otherwise it might appear that your an ignorant child who hides behind a screen name. You lack credibility and accountability.
I am a cast member and yes! It’s true! Disneyland has been pretty empty. Come back guys, we miss y’all in the crowds!!
This is after that nasty price increase. People just can't afford to go anymore. :c
Captain Ducky it should be cheap and for all family’s, I agree with what you are saying and it’s true.... I used to go all the time to Disney world, but now it’s so expensive it’s hard to wanna go every now and then.... the price range is just so High for everything and I think Disney’s making a Mistake.... should be affordable for everyone.
I went during the nasty price decrease. A month before galaxy edge opened. May 17-24
idk why people think its expensive. everything in California is expensive. You gotta have Cali money to live in Cali. Theres more people with money than those complaining about prices
@@eclipse_4747 *Japan's parks (sorry, I forgot that Disney Sea is considered a second park. Seriously one of the most beautiful amusement parks I've ever been to).
@@TanTan-hr7uq Everyone wants a luxury theme park experience with a low price tag. No one is entitled to go to Disney. It is possible to live a full life without ever setting foot on Disney property. But no. Prices are not affecting attendance. WDW has had the same increases and attendance continues to boom.
I think it’s been low because the deluxe pass has been blacked out for the whole month until August 25 so be prepared for that day
They were a little too over aggressive with the blockouts and now it's actually brought the numbers so low that it looks bad. (I've heard they're actually making less money than they usually would this time of year )
Haha yeah I’m blocked
But we’re going to DCA so hope that’s not crowded
Rolfathan no they where not. It lets us signature pass holders to get our moneys worth
@@rolfathan Correction this looks nothing like bad, If I could get away I would love to be in the park today! And I believe they are not losing any money. And the best would be if the just extended the deluxe pass blackout indefinitely.

When I discovered the goat trick I have never not looked at the goat on the drop. Greatest experience ever
I am so mad lol... I just went to Disney in may, we thought we were so smart going before the star wars thing 😂😂😂😭😭😭 it was so packed
Same here, went in Mid May- haha
We went in March (spring break) and it was nuts!!! People everywhere. Ughhhhh
@@farmfamily9197 thats why i dont go much nay mroe too many people
Here's a helpful hint from a cast remember if you want to enjoy the park with less crowded try late August going into September or February ,March and April, summertime is always the peak season and most definitely avoid going during any holidays, and sad to say you might want to steer clear of Friday , Saturdays and Sundays try going anywhere between Monday and Thursday if possible
@@carlaeddington5568 thank you! We went on a Tuesday because we knew the weekends would be slammed
Wow. Brings back memories of when they were still trying to figure out guest attendance vs park hours at Disney. Gotta love the rare occasions when everything is nearly a walk-on. Thanks Adam and Jay.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
Thanks for watching
I really think the smaller crowds are a temporary aberration ! Tomorrow IS another day - LOL
WOW that's amazing. Short, short wait times, availability of rides, etc., no crowds. Glad you both had such an awesome time, Adam. 👏🏻
Funny, it looks exactly exactly like the special effects I remember from the 1970's.
I understand that everyone's over at Galaxy's Edge
But Disneyland looks really meh
Maybe the lack of crowds takes a bit of the shine off
Without the crowds you can just see the dross more clearly, nobody to hinder your view
It looks completely fake. I can't believe Mickey and Goofy let that happen.
They're not at Galaxy's Edge. Its wait times are the lowest of any opening set of attractions in Disneyland history.
5 minutes wait for Pooh
“That’s a short Pooh.” 😂😂😂😂
Everytime I go pooh during the fireworks it's super fast haha
Jasmine Mobley “...really quick pooh” not “short” wink 😉
Pooh is always 5 minutes
My first (and last) time I was there, was with my family (mother, father and my two sisters) when I was 19 in 1967.
The "setting" for this experience was that we were in LA for my sister's (a high school senior from Milwaukee WI) American Harp Federation's convention during which she was competing for a full tuition scholarship to the Eastman School of Music which is located in Rochester NY (equivalent to getting a scholarship to Harvard or Yale, but for music) which she won and after graduating, went on to being the harp faculty at the University of Denver, played in the Denver Symphony and was the "first call" union harpist in the Denver area.
So while we were out there, we did a lot of sightseeing (this also being a major family vacation, first and only one out there).
We wanted to go to DISNEYLAND!!! Remember Walt Disney World in Florida didn't exist then.
This was a huge deal!
We had been indoctrinated for years by the most important and seductive social influence EVER!
The TV presence of......THE WALT DISNEY SHOW (every Sunday) ....AND, THE MICKEY MOUSE CLUB tv show five days a week shown right after school starting during the middle fifties when I was in fifth grade (age 10).
EVERY grade school kid would RUSH home to watch transfixed, on our black & white picture televisions. We knew all the songs, each day of the week's format, everyone had their favorite Mouseketeer, and the short mini-series bits with the Mouseketeers acting out the compelling sub-teenage dramas (and recreating them with each other at school).
BUT the most insidious aspect of the show was that (which never occurred to us at the time) it was a six day a week brainwashing indoctrination brilliantly conceived by Disney.
Every Sunday one of the featured elements of his program would show the plans and development of this idea of an amusement park on a scale never conceived before. It was fascinating, the ultimate tv commercial that held us spellbound.
So by the the time it opened in 1955 (I was 8yrs old), the whole country of kids wanted to go there and begged their parents to distraction to go.
So there I was, 12yrs later, still interested in wanting the Disneyland experience.
I was somewhat doubtful, but it exceeded any of my expectations!
I "got" it! The whole ambience was amazing, no shabby "state fairesque" food, souvenir and exhibition stands etc.
EVERYTHING was substantial high quality places and spaces. Lush landscaping, water features, streams, ponds and no sleazy well-worn amusement park rides. It was all first class (and this was still 12yrs after it opened). One could literally eat off the streets, no gum wads, cigarette butts, food wrappers, bottles cups or cans etc. It was a revelation even to a 19yr old.
The rides were also substantial, well-conceived, creative, and set the standard for all such facilities forward. We all loved it!
And Disney did the same in 1971 with Walt Disney World.
My wife and I had our honeymoon there in 1993, took our two kids several times in the mid to late 2000's. We all really enjoyed the iconic family vacation experience!
My wife marched with her high school band in the mid-70's and and I was a band chaperon in 1984.
Fond memories..........thanks for "tuning in".
Chris K i think a just read your bio. I never been to DW my family was too poor and i never beg my family but i did watch all the shows, only park i been to was indy park and 6 flags.
Two grown men in an empty disneyland. This is ever mans dream!!!
It’s because Disney blocked the majority of people with Disney passes. You have to pay more to experience more 😞😭
Emily Licitra i’ve heard this before and i don’t understand. So the people with the yearly/monthly (forgive my ignorance) passes are blocked from visiting?
Katana Katz people who have the low price passes yes... we are blocked for the summer however if you have the most expensive pass you are able to attend without block out dates.
Yeah ppl with the lowest priced passes are blocked out, but they do that every year. They block the lowest APs for the entire summer but this is the first time it's affected the summer crowds at DL. It's always packed during the summer. This is rare
Would not even bother, as my son loves to go off road in my rangerover, than see some under paid kids dressed as cartoon characters??
Disney's greed has backfired on them.
Agreed! A whole new land filled with stuff you have to buy to enjoy, with only 1 ride...and didn't help that they rushed out all those mediocre movies so fast...naRF! Lol
@@kornut420 Knotts Berry Farm is currently packed to the gills. I wonder why 🤔
no, the parks are empty because so many people are avoiding the parks because they think it will be crowded due to GE.
@@michaelmase5498 No. You're wrong. People don't have the money. They also expect season pass holders to shell out even more money to experience Galaxy's fucking Edge. Please know what you're talking about before replying to my brilliant posts. Thank you.
Disney is a luxury park. Is not meant for the poor. Do you expect to pay a low price for such a high end park? No. I don’t think is greed since people are still willing to pay for it. If people can afford it, that means that Disney is willing to high up the prices. If there is not enough people, then it will lower the prices. But is not greed when the demand meets the supply. You are not forced to go to the park.

Wow, as a southern Californian this is a trip to see!!!
I definitely have something to say about Disneyland. My own kids felt bad when they saw people who had been waiting even longer in lines for rides then they did only to get to the front and watch 75 people go past them because of the "fast pass". I realize they paid more but I think they should get rid of that stuff all together and here's why. When I was a kid I was fortunate enough to have parents that wanted us to experience going places for vacation. They didn't have a lot of money but had to save all year to even have a semi decent time. One of those places was Disney Land. I am sure that many because of the high prices have to do the same. We waited in lines as a kid but so did everyone else but it was fair and the experience was great because you were their like everyone else and doing the same things. I thought to myself while waiting in line this past June 2019, how discouraging it is for kids now to wait all that time only to get to the front and have to wait even longer because of the "fast pass". If anyplace on earth should be fair it should be Disneyland for all kids and adults alike. The other thing that surprised me was Disneyland was turning into every other theme park. It wasn't the special place that you can remember. Even 12 years ago I went and I always saw people cleaning, painting, picking things up. Obviously with the "fast pass' the almighty dollar comes first and pride in the park, fairness and the happiest place on earth has now joined the ranks of selfishness. The Mata horn for example, I saw they had painted the roof but the gutters also had the green color on them, yet they were mostly brown to match the wood. Trash in the planters and al over areas that were meant to be looked at with freshness. The whole day for myself and two kids cost over $500.00 including a meal. A small fortune and even more for a family that doesn't make half of what I make. I'm not asking for free anything, I'm asking the Managers of Disney to think about Walt Disney himself and what he would say if he would come back and see his Disneyland now. How is it that a place that other theme parks aspired to become, now look at as just another profit park? Tim Thornton
Tim Thornton The fast pass is free with admission - no one is paying extra for them. You and you family could have used the fast pass system just as equally as everyone else.
Dan Shapley still doesn’t explain the rest and if everyone starts to use it, then it becomes just an ordinary pass which is my point.
Almost another abandoned location video this time. Eerie and cool at the same time. 😎👍
8:00am Disneyland looks like a page out of the 80s.
Super chill in the morning till 11:00am....
Nothing better . Rope drop is always mellow but this was extra
I first visited Disney World in Florida as a new sailor out of bootcamp. It was $24 in 1986. I took my daughter, and her family to Disneyland in 2012 it was a slightly digestible $72 with a military discount. A lot of the popular rides were inoperative including Space Mountain and the Matterhorn . 2019 new grandchild wants to see Disneyland and the price has gone off the charts. $125 a person no, military discount. That is corporate greed for you they’re pricing themselves right out of competition. Mr. Disney would be turning over in his grave because he wanted everyone to see this park. The military helped to build its popularity. The prices are to high. I am middle class. The wages did not keep up with the price increases. That place will eventually close due to greed. Maybe that’s the plan.😯They rather have a fast dime than a slow but profitable nickel. Yeah I’m going to take my fun at a park where I get my entire family in at a reasonable cost. Someone needs to go back to why this park was created in the first place. For a 4 -12 Year old child it is the funnest place on earth. For adults it’s the magic of sharing it with them. Disney is entitled to increase prices but they should lower the prices back down to where customers come back . Or maybe they don’t really care. Look at the drop. Great Video guys. I’m interested to see where this goes.👍🏾
Am I the only one who loves this? I’m definitely willing to pay extra to avoid spending the day in a queue.
Thank you for sharing your crowd free Disneyland day!
Ummmmmm, but Galaxy’s Edge is ALSO empty. LOL
i was there literally the day after this video was put on youtube.. it was a GLORIOUS vacation and small lines.. we got to do EVERYTHING in the park AND relax and just enjoy the little things that most people skip while in the park..
I was thinking the same thing, regular Disneyland must be a ghost town right now! Perfect time to go! 😃👍
Now that's a day I would love to visit Disneyland with almost no wait time.
Christopher Sanchez yep me too, I would love to go to Disney Land & Not have to wait in long lines!!
Our hearts have been as empty as Disneyland without Jay. Glad to see him joining up with Primetime Woo!!!!!
Always love hanging with that guy
This is surprising to me. There should be more people there. It is the height of the summer vacation travel and tourist season and you would think there would be more people there than what is documented in this video. I can distinctly remember going to Disneyland for my high school senior trip back in the late 1980's and the place was absolutely packed all day long. The wait in line time for Space Mountain was well over an hour and that was at 10:30 in the morning. I also went out there 4 years later when I graduated from college as I had a job interview in the Socal area. I was supposed to fly out there to LA and then go to my motel room and then go to the jobs interview the next day. So I managed to hop on an earlier flight and I so arrived in LA and I got to my motel room at about 10AM which was located not that far from Disneyland. So instead just staying in my motel room all day and watching TV and lounging by the pool I just decided to spend the day at Disneyland, since it was not that far away from the motel that I was staying at. Again the place was packed and the wait time to get on many of the rides was a lot longer than what was shown in this video. This time around the wait time to get on Space Mountain was over 2 hours if not more. So this is not good for Disneyland. It may not be able to sustain itself with this kind of low level of customer foot traffic.
That tour guide on jungle cruise was the same one i had. He made me laugh my ass off.
IKR! Schweitzer Falls, named after the famous Dr. Albert Falls. LOL!
We always went for the bad jokes/puns...
Has NOTHING to do with the price hike! It has everything to do with some of the season passes being blocked out for most of the summer! DL's primary visitors are locals with passes. Now that they're blocked, less crowds. I think Disney thought a ton of people from out of town would buy tix for the SWGE Launch and they didn't. Probably waiting for the one at WDW instead.
Right. I live in the area. 30 minutes from Anaheim. I know Fullerton and Anaheim like the back of my hand. Disney World is a major tourist park...you always hear of people coming from others states planning big week long vacations. Disneyland is more of a locals park. I know people that will say "Yeah, might go to Disneyland for an hour or two to see the new parade than head home." Locals buy the annual passes even the cheapest one instead of the one day tickets. Attend it enough times with Southern California pass and Deluxe and it pay itself sometimes five fold. You get a lot of locals from Los Angeles to Fullerton to Buena Park to Anaheim. I know people (and myself) that just jump on the Metrolink to Fullerton and take the OC 543 bus right to the park entrance. So Disneyland has a lot of locals. Once the annual passes are blocked...the park is not as crowded especially on the weekdays. I believe Disney thought a lot of tourists from the western states would attend from out of state for Star Wars....it didn't pan out, and they had put heavy restrictions on annual passes thinking crowds would be unhand-able. So they try to fix the problem in May but introducing a new Annual Flex Pass (instead of removing or hick up passes they actually add one for a change) that is basically like the S California Select except you can try to reserve days ahead of times (a limited number of spots) that would other wise be blacked out even on weekends. I always believed if Disneyland dropped the annual passes...all of them...the park would be like this most of the time during the weekdays and non-holiday seasons.
OMG! Disney caved to the negative publicity over their commercialization of the Main Street Cinema. Not a store once more!
Mark Langenkamp it lasted 3 days...
for now
They try to remove the heart of the Disneyland, this actually showed disspected for Walt Disney memory and Disneyland history.
Disney - the owner of the Socialist Justice Star Wars Franchise
No sales at all that was a waste of money and resources. What it is happens to be new young managers come in and want to make changes and don't have the experience
I heard that you can now see a good boxing match there
Strange because I was there in mid-June and it was very crowded. Space mountain was a 75 minute wait!
Ya it's very seasonal. Think these guys went on a off day.
*Fake News*
75 minute space mountain is still super short lol space mountain for me has always been 2+ hours
Actually not paying your employees a livable minimum wage is a very Rightward thinking idea... As well as corporations tkaing advantage of Americans... Very very capitalist thing...
Went there in 2015 from Australia.
Got on the finding nemo subs only to be told we were going on a journey to Australia.
If only I knew it took a 5 minute sub to get to LA .
Wow, a rarity to find the park so empty.
Adam, who would have thought that a video featuring an empty Disneyland would have 1 million views. A lot of people nowadays really love to join the hate train on anything Disney.
People like to say that it’s empty and nobody likes it
It’s empty because the people with passes can go or something with the schedule
Wow! Never thought Disneyland would be empty at all. This is so eye opening!
This is beautiful. Its a fuckhole moneydump
when you screw over the biggest portion of your fanbase and depend only on the casual fan ,things happen
Yea I noticed how empty it has been, I have been 2 days since the opening of galaxies edge, and the lines are so short
"Same goes for Winnie - wow that's a really quick Pooh."
Lol 😂
Winnie the Pooh almost never has a wait. It's an underrated ride because it's a really nice ride but is ignored a lot. I never once waited in line more than five minutes for this ride and I go often since I live in the area. On the other hand Peter Pan for some reason is insanely crowded from the minute the park opens. I've seen people at rope drop run to that ride.
I was wondering if the grand opening of galaxies edge would draw crowds always from other lands.
Which maybe good, cause as much as I wanna see the new land, this will make doing everything else run more smoothly.
Now is the time to go, before Galaxy's Edge loses it's novelty and everything becomes crowded again
Wouldmt the novelty existing suggest there would be a crowd? And when the novelty wore off THEN it would die down?
@@DeathbySkullfxxx EXACTLY...wtf
No with everyone there now, when the novelty wears off, everyone will leave star wars land and repopulate the park evenly
@@joekaput747 Isn't Galaxy's Edge just as empty, if not more so?
Implying GE had novelty to begin with. 😂
Never understood why anyone would wait 1-2 hours for a ride at Disneyland. I had so much more fun playing sports with friends as a kid. Not to mention, free.
Because it holds nostalgia to that person and they want to?
@@Veste7182nostalgia? beyond ridiculous
Everyone got scared of Star Wars and the crowds. Everyone had the same idea.
Anyone else notice the Jungle Cruise Captain almost dropped an F bomb?!
Sounded to me like he did drop it and just cut it off before saying the "-ing" part.
Haha yes
time stamp?
5:20
"Just say no" or "did you say no?"
This is very much a win for us guests. We get to enjoy Disneyland in its entirety by ourselves. I thought it would never happen especially to Disney. Low crowds for Disney is an okay crowd for Six Flags or Sea World. Let's just wait for the legit summer crowds.
i was also there that day and also rode 90% of the rides before i even hit 12 o'clock!! thanks to rope drop, galaxys edge crowd, single riders, and fast pass. the crowds started picking up around lunch time and it was crowded the rest of the day.
TIP: visit galaxys edge as late in the day as you can, also use single riders on the millenium falcon to only wait 5 minutes!
Um, most all but one I believe Disney pass holders are blocked during the summer.. So this not a balanced Pass holders to Vacationers ratio. Plus, this is the week BEFORE July 4th weekend... “always slow”
Trust me.. I’m a pass holder and I’m blocked from going..
If this was April, March, May or half of June. It would be packed.. I know from 5 years of experience..
Exactly. When I was there in April, it was incredibly packed, at both parks. Never seen California Adventure so crowded, every ride was at least 30+ minute wait, with radiator springs racers being like 300+ minutes.
That is very cool. You go through the park in a day. Sweet! Great video. 👍🏾✌🏾
I went before Galaxy’s edges was open and it was heaven in wait time. We went on Indiana Jones 3 times ina row. The shortest time for space mountain was 10.
Amazing !
Gaming with D 303 yeah i went there last week and it was a tiny bit more crowded but all of the wait times were super short
Went to DCA the day Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge opened and I was crazy how short the lines were.
As a very casual Star Wars fan (saw the trilogy as a kid in theaters, watched The Force Awakens on cable, none of the other movies) I'm interested in seeing Galaxy's Edge whenever. But man, that Jungle Cruise skipper was the best, and the dance with Mickey and Minnie? Wow. What a great Disneyland day! That kind of day is what I dream about.
I've never seen Disney that empty and I grew up going there in the 80s
That was brilliant strategy boys! I loved that view of New Orleans Square! Just add a mint julep and a Monte Cristo sandwich and- perfection! I know your favorite number now: 5! ❤️
Rope drop is the way to go
Hello from the UK. So many memories of my only family holiday/vacation to the US comes flooding back watching this. December 1994. None of the rides were queueless on my two visits.
When i was 12, Me an my family went to plan a trip to disney land. In preparation, I watch a ton of your videos, along with some of your friends videos about the theme park. Now that im a "adult," this video really hit me in the right kind of way. I was so moved and happy, and reminded me of the happy obsession of disney land I had of aa a Kid, and it made me happy that you are still doing what you love. Thank you.
They just announced a discount ticket for AP bring a friend park hopper for $99. If your AP's blocked out, you can pay $99 as well to get in. First they blocked out loyal APs, now they are not getting the attendance they wanted, they want you to pay and bring a friend. SMH
Insane 99 was full ticket price just a couple years ago.
I know! So ridiculous! Come on Disney! All you need to do is open up even just some blockout dates for us dedicated fans who are passholders...this is an easy fix...but they are just being stubborn or proud or just trying to get more money out of us (or at least it feels that way). But honestly, Disney is making a big mistake because we would show up and spend money if they would just open some dates up! The AP's will come and pay for parking and drinks and snacks and meals and souvenirs and collectibles...all thats needed is some dates that are open to us this summer! But no, we do not want to pay an extra $100 to get in on top of what we are already paying for a pass because Disney can't be bothered to fix their blockout calendar/empty park situation and OPEN SOME DATES UP!....I'm sorry, that is so not cool! I love you Disney, but no!
I was at Disneyland today, on a Thursday and it was extremely dead! So weird !
It was weird to see
TheDailyWoo are people over Star Wars land already? I haven’t even gone into it yet.
I just went this week, got there at 7am and expected to wait for hours at galaxy’s edge. The ride was at 35 mins all day! Everything at Disney was 10-40 minutes as well! It was amazing!
I dig the small crowd. My kind of day.
don't know why i laughed so hard when Adam said "Wow, thats a really quick Pooh" 😂
4:00 he says that
I think it's just that people unilaterally said "we're just gonna wait a year or 2 till we go back."
Perfect for Families no crowds , waiting time and more fun
Who Knew 22 the thing is the prices are currently very high
@@unarmilion457 I suppose with the current economic climate since Trump took over hasn't helped . Then you have the whole James Gunn fiasco as well .
James Gunn fiasco?
@@kirb_9051 When he was fired re-hired
Who Knew 22, oh I thought you were referencing a new one. But didn’t that happen a while ago? Why would it affect Disney Land prices?
