Disney Calfornia Adventure should add Bluey and Bingo
THE BEST WAY to rope drop DCA in my experience and I don't live in CA so I'm only there a few or couple days at a time is this: 1. Do Guardians FIRST bc Everyone always goes to Carsland first and 99% of the time it's not even open. Or if it is open, it's already an hour long wait. 2. Go to Incredicoaster. The wait will be like 15 to 20 mins. Max half hour at this time. 3. NOW you're gonna want to hit Carsland for Radiator Racers. SINGLE RIDER line. Just split up your party or ask other single riders in line to switch with you. It's not a big deal to split up. You'll all have the same experience anyway. 4. Midway Mania is for late Night Riding..about 40mins before the park closes the wait time drops to about 15 mins. Now in-between Steps 3 and 4 is where you do everything else and just enjoy your day. Follow this and I PROMISE you won't need Genie+ and you'll have a stress free day at DCA!! 😉
That's how we did it. Rode everything in one day. No Genie + needed. But Disneyland you need it.
Love your specifics! Single rider Webslingers and Grizzly River Run, too.
We did something similar... Monster's Inc, Guardians, Ferris wheel, Pixar Pier, and then car's land.
We missed out on a few Pixar rides, but got my son's favorite Soaring in 4 times that night. Such a great ride!
Recently became a magic key holder and I have yet to go to the parks for the 1st time. I’m taking notes. So I truly appreciate your suggestions. 🙌🏼
Rebecca! 😀 Thanks for the tips! 🙏
Finally going back for the first time in years *_*
I appreciate you talking to me. We are all valued in our own way. New Year, new outlook. Hang in there whoever you are there is a brighter day ahead.
Im just here to thank you for not only the park tips and tricks, but for taking the time out to let people like me know that we matter. I struggle a lot with depression and the only thing that keeps me going is my son. I’m planning a trip to Disney in a couple months and I’ve watched all your videos and it always gets me when you stop and talk to us. I don’t know why, but a lot of the times I watch your video after having a few hard days and then I hear your message and I’m just thankful for it.❤
Same!! Sending you love, and I know you are going to have such a wonderful time at Disney! ♥️✨️
@@chelseahasflowers Thank you Chelsea. Wishing you all the best in the new year 💕. I’m so excited to take him and I’m going to be so ready after watching all these videos.
@mzsantana87 I am wishing you the absolute best 2023 as well! And you two will have such an amazing time, full of joy and memories! I am so excited for you two!! ✨️💖💜 I am going late Spring and caaaant waaait!! Here's to a new year and new opportunities and memories!
My DCA rope drop route is always guardians twice, incredicoaster 3 times lol then after that I don’t mind waiting for anything else
One of the attractions that people always seem to miss is Mickey's PhilharMagic. It's such a fun show for all ages and there's never a wait and it starts every 10 minutes.
The theater is just amazing with some of the best surround sound I've ever heard.
We always do single rider lanes where ever offered. At Radiator Springs Racers I was in the single rider lane and waited about 10 minutes. I was seated with a family who was complaining that they had waited for 2 hours! Hmm... 10 minutes vs. 2 hours. Of course if you have little kids with you that isn't going to work. The only exception for single rider is Soarin', where single rider lane can actually be longer than just normal standby.
The three seats in cars definately makes the single rider line move fast. Since a lot of groups are 2 or 4.
Just stumbled upon this video. I’ve seen you in other Disney related videos and I’ve always found you very entertaining and genuine! The segment in this video where you talk “to” me/the viewers…reminding us how much we matter…literally made me break down in sobbing tears. This past year has been a nightmare. My wife’s health is deteriorating. She has a cancerous mass in her throat, a hernia lodged in between her lungs and her stomach, she has gastritis and battles with seizures on a near daily basis. We have never been to Disneyland before so we love watching everyone’s Disneyland related videos on CZcams. Your words really hit hard. Needless to say my wife and I have been struggling like crazy. We are behind on our rent due to all our money going toward her medical bills, food has been sparse in the fridge…we are really, really struggling. I say all of this to say…thank you for your videos. They are fun and bring so much joy to our household! Seeing the joy of Disneyland through your videos is so much fun (we’ve never been to Disneyland and probably will never have a chance to go due to cost). Maybe one day in the far-off future, I’ll be able to take my wife on the magical vacation she deserves, to Disneyland! Thank you again for your kind words of affirmation and for your fun videos!
Hello Chris and family!
I’m sure you won’t see this notification but I still wanted to leave this comment anyway because I have some exciting news!
1. The cancerous mass in my wife’s throat is completely gone!
2. The hernia between her lungs and her stomach is shrinking!
Things are finally looking up for her and her health!
Not to mention, some gracious and generous individuals decided to take it upon themselves and bless us with one day at Disneyland and one day at California adventure (as a way to not only celebrate the improvement of my wife’s health but also to give as a well deserved two-day break from life)! We have never been to either park before due to finances so this will be an amazing opportunity for us to see everything, experience it all and make wonderful memories!
We will be going to DCA this week (Friday) and can’t be more excited!! Thanks to you and your videos, we feel pretty prepared to conquer the park! 😂
Anyway, just wanted to share this bit of news with you. Thank you again for all you do and who you are! You’ve always made our dark days very bright!
praying for you guys 💞
I Chris, I know you’re probably busy and won’t see this but I just want you to know that your videos always cheer me up when I’m feeling down. Thank you!
You know who is an amazing person??
That Chris Provost dude! He is a gentleman..an awesome individual that has such a great sense of humor about himself and in general. I would be blessed to call him a friend.
Keep it up Chris!
Wow! You’re the best. Seriously thank you for your kind words!
@@provostparkpass Chris..you use your platform to primarily entertain but your segments encouraging people are priceless to many I am sure..I am a recovering alcoholic and ordained minister..you can never really know how often the right word in the receiving ear makes contact but I'm sure your words do..keep it up and God bless your work
It's been a rough couple of months, every week something new to stress about. I'm thankful to have found this channel. It's been years, maybe since 2017, since I've been to DisneyLand with my family, and I just wanted to watch some tours of the parks now. At first I just wanted silent walkthroughs, but you guys go above and beyond with rad information, fun facts, and nice messages. The dad jokes are a great touch. Wishing ya'll a new year full of love, health, and wealth ❤
Sending you love. Hang in there you got this. And thank you so much. 💙💚
I am so glad that everytime I go to CDA and DL I go alone. I love the single rider line for cars. I ride it a couple of times that it does others. I don't like the advice of telling groups to ride that way. Lol.
Best way to experience DCA, take it slow enjoy your day by not stressing about rides, enjoy the lil shows and the delicious 🤤 food! But that was just lil family of 3 (wife and son of 3 yrs old). Besides that you gotta use LL and genie + to maximize your stay, unfortunately that’s how Disneyland is nowadays.
FYI, you mention Web Slingers is an individual Lighting Lane, it's actually now just regular Genie+, so if you get Genie+ for the day you are covered.
Do single rider for Webslingers for sure
When I did magic morning I want to say I rode Incredicoaster first. I want say I was lucky as they had two cars going at the same time. It was one of my favorite rides. The other being the Little Mermaid. While I can appreciate Guardians, I wasn’t completely prepared for the drops and the weightless feeling really freaked my out. Like I knew it dropped but I didn’t know it would feel like I was going to fall out of my seat in the dark.
U can see what the ride is before u even get on. Not to mention yearrrrrs worth of ToT / gotg videos
When I make it to Disneyland, this is the park I'm most excited about! Thanks so much for the tips Chris!
I Love ❤️ Old Disney
Chris i like the puns i laugh after the eye roll
I remember my first DCA visit, now I'm a veteran of DCA. We always go to the main street route to go to Cars land sometimes in Avengers Campus route, But I do agree with you Chris with getting things done in a day thank you for the tips.
Happy New Years yall!!! Always makes my day better when I see the provost park pass upload noti
I love these tips! They never get old. We hope to make it there again someday. Watching your videos will help make it better if we do return. Thank you.
😊 Please don't spread yourself too thin. January is a good time for taking a break from taking a break. 😉
Thank you Chris for the talk on the way to Pixar Pier, you made me feel Incredible and had me Soarin.
Thanks for the information, you are awesome. Got 5 days there starting Friday.
Great video, as usual, Chris! My daughter and I are planning a trip at the end of February and this was very, very helpful!
Thanks for your videos! I’m coming with my husband from Australia at the end of the year and watching your videos will help us plan our Disney trip better, but they’re just fun and exciting to watch!
Hello Chris. My name is Drew Blackstone and I am a big fan of Provost Park Pass. I discovered Provost Park Pass. I discovered y’all when my wife and I were planning our trip to Disneyland last may. I have been a fan of Disney Food Blog but they are Florida centric and I live on the left coast. At first, I thought “Man, this guy is really annoying” but there was just something about it that drew me in. Then I realized, “This guy is a lot like me”. The more I watched, the more I got to digging you, Amanda, Miles, your whole crew, and your awesome guests. Your jokes and puns are right up my alley. I love your positive messages (They have helped me out on some bad days). Your episodes with Professor Andrew about the DAS Pass were game changers for me.
Now comes the reason for this note. I am an actor (I don’t want to brag, but I do community theater). One of my first thoughts after I found PPP was “How can I get to be a guest on one of your episodes?”. I have a disability but there is no way I can be as cool as Professor Andrew. I am a member of Saber Guild (A club that does light saber choreography for charity) but you have Star Wars people who know way more than I do. Then it hit me (ow), you love canoes. I am a retired marathon canoe racer. I have a couple of buddies who do endurance canoe races. We are canoe “experts”. We could go over the basics of canoe racing and highlight the differences between recreational canoeing and racing. We can do a road trip (We live in the Seattle area) to Disneyland in the spring. It was the perfect plan. What could go wrong?
I know this is a big ask, but can we meet you at Disneyland and be guest “experts” on your show? Late April is best, but we can do mid March if that doesn't work for you. If these times don’t work but another time will, we might be able to work something out. Don’t worry about saying no. I know you will be very nice about it because that’s how you roll. As I said, this is a big ask and I don’t know the protocol for this sort of thing so I just jumped in.
Thanks for reading this and humoring me. Please let me know if you want to take the next step on my idea. As I said, please don’t worry about saying no (I don’t loose anything if you do). I look forward to hearing from you and to seeing your Iceland videos (Iceland has been on my travel bucket list for 40 years).
Thank you, Drew Blackstone
When DCA first opened, I was skeptical! Once I had a kid, I realized how much there is to do there and Disney definitely has made great developments there. I love it so much! Fun fact: the original letters that were in front of DCA that spelled, “CALIFORNIA” found a home in the state capital city of Sacramento-my home town!
Honestly never really comment for anyone, but wanted to say that you seem very kind and thank you for all of your optimism and helpful tips! Going over next month and really exited to try out all of your tips :) first time going !
Thank you do much for this video Chris cause we are going to Disney California adventure on Thursday 12, and Disneyland on Tuesday 17. That's not all our Daughter's boyfriend has never ben to a Disney park🥰
Happy New year 2023 🥳 🎉 🎊 my favorite Disneyland Park one fan Big 💖 Disney California Adventure Love my favorite one fan Big 💖💖💖⭐️⭐️⭐️🏰🎶
Here I am watching the video thinking “I already know all this”, and then you say that Guardians of The Galaxie ride has different music and drop sequences. How did I not know this??? 🤯
Thank you Chris for another brilliant vlog!
Thank you for the video, and I am very relieved that I'm not the only one who calls it Radiacer Springs 🤣🤣 At this point, I've given up trying to get it right
I rode Mission breakout twice the last time I was DCA and I happened to get the same song XD lol.
I agree i love Coco 💓
Perfect timing! We leave in a month for my kids' first trip to Disneyland and DCA. Thank you for putting the work in on such videos so I can try to have a vacation full of fun and only a few meltdowns. :)
Happy new year 🎊🎆🎈 chris and Amanda.
We took our 3 year old to Disney/DCA for the first time this past October. We loved it! I preferred Disneyland to DCA but I did love the Oogie Boogie bash and Cars Land! We stayed at GCH and rope dropped and booked it to Webslingers. Then we went straight to Radiator Springs right as the park was opening. We still waited in line for 45 min. It was a wonderful trip!
So many good tips! These are all being noted for when we get to visit. Thank you for sharing ✨
Glad it was helpful!
I went on Soarin' early in the morning, and it was awesome! The wait was so short. I know it's not a big deal to some people, but I was delighted to find out that getting on the Pixar-Pal-Around first thing in the morning when the line is still really short, the Gondolla could be ridden by one party.
Super fun
It’s always a real treat to see another fun and fantastic video up from Provost Park Pass! Great tips for those who haven’t experience California Adventure. It usually it’s overshadowed by the original park, but it definitely has its many unique charms and magic! 😃✨
Happy 🎉2023! Looking forward to all your amazing tips and making a challenging year a little easier and sweeter for everyone 💕🍦🍭
Thank you for all your help. I have been watching so much to prepare to take my nieces to Disneyland, DCA & Universal in February. They have had a rough time lately so I'm making it as special as I can. I hope to see you there to say thank you. And remember a stranger is a friend that you haven't met yet.
Frank
I won a trip to Disneyland started looking around for info on both places. I've watched all of your videos I can for tips, tricks and my fav history and unique things I'll be taking in rather than just rushing through doing rides and such. Thanks so very much!! My daughter and I will have an even better one in lifetime making memories few days.
Yay!! You’re going to have a blast.
I'm 60 and never been to Disneyland. I'm so excited and even my daughter who says I plan to much is happy with all my research. When I stumbled on your videos I knew this would be even better as you've given me history to take in and tricks to Pack in everything in this 1 time experience. Again thanks. I'm still tweaking my notes and we're making cheat cards lol.
Oh may I ask about the shrimp and grits you recently had at the new Tiana's Palace? Never had but saw you tried and is love to also but don't do spicy. It's our mild enough for us wimps lol?
You are a beautiful person. Thank you for the "you are awesome...".
Hey Chris. New subscriber here. Thanks for all the helpful content. I'll be taking my family to Disney and DCA this March, 2023. I've got 3 girls (6 and under). Wondering if you could do a video, if you haven't already, about where to go to see all the Disney Princesses/characters (including Elsa and Anna - my kids favorites) in both parks. Also, could you do a video about the 2023 shows and parades and how to best watch them? Thanks!
If this is your priority in Disneyland at rope drop go to Fanasy Faire Royal hall to meet 3 or 4 in a row. Consider BibbidiBoppitty Boutique OR watch youtube for DIY styling your little princesses to save $. Storytellers Cafe at The Grand Californian also has an expensive princess meal, maybe in parks there's a meal, too.
Hopefully I'll need this in 2024!!
Love that positivity
Need a full walking tour of dca w the best short cuts lol
The radiator springs uniform is lowkey the best lol
I honestly think that the best desert is the funnle cake fries at Award wieners. The Chicken swarma is the best food we have had in DCA
Lamp Light Lounge was our favorite in 21. In 22 we couldn't get a reservation to save our lives.
@elisharoberts1029 lamp light is good. We had the lobstar nachos a little too fishy for me personally. I've only eaten there once. We had cocktails there in August it was awesome because there was water in the lagoon this time. So reservations are released, I believe, 6am for Disneyland...so what I did was set an alarm and go in the 60 days prior to the date you want to go and you should be able to get a reservation. I did that for our August trip. we got a lamplight lounge, Oga's Cantina, blue bayou, Cafe Orleans, and the Tiki room. For our 5 days. Advice cut out a few 🤣
@@luvadventuresandart yeah my bf loved those nachos. I had a cheeseburger. Their mocktails are so good. Oh and the donuts.
We were getting up at like 3 am to get reservations in 21. Last year we waited until 6 and they were just gone. Schwarma Palace is definitely on my must try list.
@elisharoberts1029 they don't post at 3 am. I was also doing that. That's WDW. If not 6AM, maybe it was 5AM
21:21 that’s cool 😎.
Have great day Chris! Happy New Year1 I don't tend to visit this park often as it's just not my fave but this video was very informative and I definitely need to grab some ice cream next time I'm there!
I think my favorite part about any of your videos is the dad jokes 😂
Oh the dad jokes are amazing. Thank you for being you, you always have a friend with the Arthur family in Australia
Yay for more DCA love! It's still my favorite park.
VEGA!!!!!
Thank you
I’m pretty sure that webslingers is on regular lightening lane/Genie plus now
Yes, Co Co is easily in my top 5 Pixar Films. It's got such a great message and some amazing artwork and the songs are great as well.
Just in time, Chris! Visiting in March with my family and I was swimming trying to find a good rope drop plan for DCA. I haven’t been in quite a few years and a lot has changed since then, so my knowledge is a little outdated for DCA. I tried to plot out a few of my own plans, but this video helped me straighten out the little details.
I just got back from Disney vacation with my daughter. We had a great time, I used a lot of your videos for guidance and it really helped. Thank you so much
Bwahahahaha!!!! Boom, chicka, chicka, boom... Thank you so much for the highly talented musical outro! I love it!! I wish you could hear me giggling when you sing those! Thank you so much for the great content and smiles!! ❤️
Your kind words were much needed! I would’ve subscribed at that time if I didn’t already subscribe immediately when I heard that lightning McQueen joke! Lol!
First! We just vlogged there!
Happy New Year Good Sir.
i like your video😄
Just recently found this channel. Thank you for touching my heart with your kind words. So glad to be a new subscriber ❤
I visited DCA the beginning of thanksgiving break and I went to Radiator Springs first and waited 3 hours. I understand the wait, but I will most definitely purchase lighting lane on my next visit 😂
I look for my name at end ...it goes by so fast but i ❤️ being included
Happy New Year PPP!! At the end, I really like hearing you sing and it makes my days even better. I was just in Disneyland to close out 2022 with my friends and we rope dropped Cars ride first then we went to Guardians Of The Galaxy which worked out really good. DCA has gotten so much better with the addition of Avengers Campus and Pixar Pier and it makes me appreciate it even more. Your videos help me get prepared for upcoming Disney trips!! I look forward to much more content going into the new year!!
You always bring a smile to my face. Thank you for all you do 😊
You’re so welcome. 💚💙
Thank YOU very much for this Video and your positivity! You are amazing! Keep going 🎉🤓
Each time we rope dropped Soarin' we stood in line for 10+ minutes before even entering the show building. No advantage that I've experienced thus far. Thoughts?
Tip for all. When we were there in December, we had a Genie+ for Indiana Jones. Indie shut down and we got a free pass to another ride. Because Indie is considered a top tier ride, our pass worked for Guardians. If you get a free pass if Incredicoster goes down, you can Not use it for Guardians.
lol LOVE the end credits improv
3,2,1 GO
Great video Chris!
now seeing Indicoaster from your video and im scared to ride now, seeing it on the app illustrated didn't think that much of it😅 reminds me of goliath from six flags with how big it looks from on the ground.
I’m so upset, Radiator Springs Racers is going to be closed when I am there. How much if the theming can you still see without riding the ride?
It really depends on how much they have blocked off. Still walking around cars land is awesome. Especially at night.
A benefit of "breaking up" to ride RS Racers as a single rider: You might get to race a family member!! 🏁
I just finished watching your walk though for Disneyland and this one, DCA, as I begin to plan my trip for early May this year. Thank you so much for giving us the tip and tricks for those who decide not to do a genie+ because then it puts it into a better perspective of what rides have to happen during golden hour.
I dont wana live in america for obvious reasons but god i wana be a disneyland local. If florida wasnt such an evil state id live there to be surrounded by parks. But cali is good too. Celebs, movie filming, universal, warner bros, disney, knotts, six flags magic mountain, all the shops. Amazing
Hey, I know you seem to love cheese, but could you please do a video for people who can't have cheese and need lactose free ice cream?
You and Amanda are AWESOME!
Thanks for the tips! I had assumed that Web Slinger would be in hot demand since that's what I encountered earlier in the day in Paris, but it's good to know that we should prioritize Mission Breakout if we decide to go to Avengers Campus instead of Cars first thing!
Don’t forget about Monsters Inc. 😱
Web slingers is no longer an individual lightning lane! It’s part of genie plus now 🎉
A good way to kill time if people got genie plus and are waiting for their time or just need a break: Mickey philharmagic and the animation academy. Especially the beast's library. Also the little mermaid usually has a short line.
Is Cars Land close to the back door DCA entrance for Pixar Pier Hotel guests who come in early?
No it's on the other side of the Park, but you can get there quickly.
DCA was always fun for me! The souvenir shopping was a lot of fun as well at the end of the day. Chris hit us pretty hard n heavy with the puns for the New Year. Great way to start it off Chris!!!!
Happy new year!
Just booked our trip over from the UK for Halloween. Been to Disneyland Paris and WDW, but this will be our first time at West Coast Disney! Your videos have definitely been a contributing factor to us coming and has helped immensely with the planning and tips! Coming for our 1st wedding anniversary and bringing our Dr Strange and Scarlet Witch costumes for(if we can get tickets!) our first Oogie Boogie Bash! If we get to meet you in the parks it’d make my year, just saying 😂
How exciting! We would love to meet you!!!
Thank you, thank you, thank you, Chris! I've been waiting for you to do this DCA since I saw your vlog last year about rope-drop advice for Disneyland. Xox and Happy New Year to you, Amanda & your son (So Sorry! Mental block on your son's name)!
I had a great experience at DCA in June 2022, wish I had this info then. Cars ride was closed and I was so disappointed to miss it!
Don't forget about the Animation Academy and Turtle Talk With Crush! Head over there to sit and rest in the afternoon :)
Great video and love the jokes as usual. Just a quick update web slingers is not a individual lightning Lane anymore, and a pro tip - never use single Rider at incredecoster always go for the regular line if not using genie+.
Thank you!!
thank u
You should do a top 10 DCA rides by the numbers
What a great video, very informative. Love the jokes
