    Indiana Jones has a secret single rider line. Just ask a cast member and walk on. I love it. You feel like a vip.

  • @melisadventurevlog4855

    You did really well. We had 3day park hoppers with MaxPass at the end of April. It’s worth every penny. Knocked out all the “big kid” rides by 11am, had breakfast at the Riverbelle and then park hopper to DCA. We were done with both parks by 3p. We stayed to watch the Disney Channel Fanfest went on a couple more rides and shows. Left around 8p because we were so exhausted. I think the only thing we did wrong was not taking a break. Then next two days we took our time and still managed to ride a lot at both parks multiple times.

    I do Peter Pan, Mr. Toad, Alice, Small World, Space Mountain, Star Tours, Nemo. Then the park is opening so I go to Pirates, then do Haunted Mansion, Indiana Jones and get a Fast Pass for Thunder Mountain before lunch. Pinocchio and Snow White never have a long line, so I go back to them later. I don't always go on Dumbo, but if I do, I skip the Nemo ride. Usually after lunch I hit Toon Town and get that done before it gets too crazy. Then I'm done for day 1 of Disneyland.

    Having a solo Disney day is honestly the best thing ever! You get to go at your own pace, you're not stressed out and it's just so relaxing; you also get more done than when you're with a group. I'm an AP holder and I take solo Disney trips all the time. Don't get me wrong, I love going with my family and friends but sometimes its nice to have some "me" time at the Happiest Place on Earth lol

    we did the Magic Morning for our first trip. We signed our boys up for the jedi training first thing, then rode space mountain twice (cm sent us back because we didn't get a good picture the first time how nice!), rode buzz lightyear I believe and then headed over to peter pan. while we waited for peter pan my mom ran over and got us fast passes for indiana jones. What a great first day for my boys first trip!

  • @shorty9020
    @shorty9020 Před 5 lety

    So i went on a rope drop at disneyland probably ~4-5 years ago. (Maybe, i have to find my keepsakes from it) but essentially the time before this said ropedrop adventure, splash mountain was closed. So on ropedrop it was straight to splash mountain. My family were mad we got wet the first ride of the day but at the end they gave all of us (first riders) lanyard fast passes for every ride for all day. It was absolutely incredible and my family cheered up significantly. Just curious, how often does stuff like this happen?

    If I get there at rope drop, I always start with Space Mountain. It helps wake me up lol. Usually I can get Space Mountain, Star Tours, Matterhorn, Indiana Jones, Pirates, Haunted Mansion and Big Thunder done before noon.

    Just a tip. As someone who has done both Magic Hour(which if you have it use it) and a regular rope drop they are very different when it comes to crowds. Regular rope drop is way more crowded

  • @fungirl1121
    @fungirl1121 Před 6 lety

    I've been to Disneyland twice b/c of former friends canceling out on me. I throughly enjoyed being by myself b/c I wasn't arguring with someone to figure what we wanted to do. What was funny is when people whom I was casually chatting with found out I was by myself they would speak in hush tones before asking me would I like to join them. That was so sweet but continued on my solo journey. ANOTHER GREAT VLOG MAX!!!!😘😘😘

    I LOVE THIS! THANK YOU!This is definitely going to help when my family (3 kids under 12 , husband and myself) go to Disneyland.
    My husband and I have done rope drop before, but never with kids. Seeing this video and how to approach it makes it seems less daunting. Especially knocking out Fantasyland first. I have never done the Max Pass, but I think I'm going to try it now seeing how easy it was and how quick you were able to jump on rides. Thanks again!

    When my wife and I visit the parks we always hit rope drop and use maxpass and we get all of our rides done before lunchtime. Every time. This combo is the way to go! Then you have the whole afternoon to relax, people watch, catch shows and performances, eat, whatever you’d like with no rush. 10/10 will always recommend

  • @elaineojeda6942

      I've done solo twice. OMG! Talk about really getting into Disneyland and being a kid 👦 again. I rode 17 rides, some multiple, and recorded a full set of Bootstrappers that I posted on CZcams. Took some really good photos and Met a really nice Senior Citizen couple from Minnesota that were first timers. So awesome to do Solo.

    @elizabethr5270 Před 6 lety +1

    I forget how much we got done when my mom and I rope-dropped Disneyland when we came for D23 last year, but I know that we *literally* walked onto Pirates! Even though it is a long ride, I think it's worth it to rope-drop Pirates since the line can get incredibly long later in the day. I think even after we had breakfast with Minnie and Friends we got quite a few rides done before the park got really busy! The only difference was that it wasn't a magic morning so the rope drop happened closer to the castle where you can get to all the other lands.
    And I totally agree about going to Disneyland alone- that's usually what I do when I go in February and it's a lot of fun! Not only do you get the occasional perk of getting in faster than expected when they're looking for a single rider, but you can use the single rider lines AND I think it's easier to grab a fast pass for a party of 1! Plus you can do whatever you want whenever you want. Only feel like walking over to DCA to grab lunch from that place you like and then head back over to Disneyland? No one else is gonna complain! Getting to the theater at DCA super early to get an amazing seat for Frozen? Same thing! (To be fair, my mom's usually with me if I'm not alone and she's never complained about any of that stuff but hey)

  • @coolness06
    @coolness06 Před 6 lety

  • @MrDizneyKing
    @MrDizneyKing Před 6 lety +30

    whats crazy is when Star Wars Galaxy's Edge opens next summer, I'll be much much easier to do the rest of the park while the vast majority wait and head for the new land. They'll either wait near the entrances to Galaxy's Edge while other people will do everything else in the park with little to no waits.

    • @katiejean5879
      @katiejean5879 Před 5 lety +5

      That’s a huge misconception. Galaxy’s edge is going to bring in a whole new crowd and it’s not very big. The new rides do not hold that many people, so people will be getting there very early to get their fast passes. When the fast passes sell out they will spill over into the rest of the land. It’s going to be crazy for the next year after it opens.

    • @simplytierresistable
      @simplytierresistable Před 5 lety

      Not necessarily. Galaxy's Edge is likely going to operate, at least initially, like Pandora, where they have a limited number of people even allowed in the land at once. The rest of that crowd is going to have to go somewhere, and that'll be the rest of the park.

    • @zariadame9802

    Hey, Max! Thanks for the video. I'm so glad you admitted you needed Starbucks to make rope drop. That's the only way I'd accomplish it! Question: how much does your ability to blaze through so many rides depend on your intimate knowledge of the park? Are Fantasyland rides all bunched together where they're easy for first-timers to find? (I imagine so, given the time checks you gave us.) How detailed is the app's map? Does it pay to have a supplemental physical map, or is the phone map enough if you're new? Your videos always make me feel better. All the best from East Tennessee!

    Just a helpful tip, for Peter Pan's Flight you can go the route like Max and go first thing or during the fireworks when the area behind the castle with Peter Pan's Flight, the carousel, Mr Toad ect is closed off you can actually wait in line by the roped off area for Peter Pan's Flight so you get a great spot for the fireworks and basically don't have to wait in line

      Emily White -it's probably me but I don't understand what you mean by how not to wait in line at night. Do you see the fireworks and then you are able to get on ride. Why is it roped off? (Going for 1st time in August so that's probably why I don't understand)

    Another fun thing to do is to do the I guess you would call it gate drop. Were they open the gate to Toontown. I think that usually occurs about an hour after the official drug drop in front of the castle.

    That's definitely a record, not most people can do that. Good job!
