    Just an FYI, around the 25 minute mark there's a sizeable time jump and the narration may feel like you're missing some information. I cut out around a minute and a half of the finished and uploaded video because several of you caught that the guy walking in front of my in Frontierland had an inappropriate shirt on that somehow got by Disney. It was front and center and mostly noticeable, so I removed it.

    FYI with genie+ and child swap, when you get to the entrance of the ride you ask for the swap, all LL will be scaned and the Cast Member will ask for up to 3 of your tickets for the child swap, one adult stays behind AND gets the new LL, the rest ride, and when they finish the ride two of them get a repeat ride with an LL already waiting for them, great for my kids, they loved rising everything twice.

  • @slowazzd2165
    @slowazzd2165 Před měsícem +2

    The reason they cant just easily reopen the peoplemover is that the rocket rods caused actual damage to the ride, that has since been allowed to decay further left exposed to the elements for years. They'd basically have to tear out the whole track and re-do it and considering the people mover track runs through basically all of tomrrowland and through a lot of other rides show buildings, it would be really costly and mean a lot of tomrrowland would have to be shutdown for a pretty long time.

    • @SoCalDisneyDad
      @SoCalDisneyDad  Před měsícem +2

      The track has to be completely removed anyway, as it’s not configured for PeopleMover.
      It’s just a matter of slowly replacing everything. It need not happen at once. But it likely all comes down to money and a bit of space, considering they’d need to completely reconfigure the loading area as well.

      @@SoCalDisneyDad looking forward to your DCA walk thru. I just had a couple of questions. Next year when we come to Disney my son wants to make a droid, which we think is a fabulous experience and a uniquely Disneyland souvenir to take home. My question is, what other experiences/activities do they have for kids(or big kids😁)?
      My 7 year old daughter does not want to make a droid or lightsaber.
      We would like to get unique, can only get in the parks souvenir’s as we do have Disney stores in Australia and can get some of the gift shop things here. Someone once mentioned in the comments that they got a family caricature done near Pirates of the Caribbean and it is a cherished souvenir. We would love something like that to take home.

    Checked out Saturday after spending the the week, and had a great week. Just wanted to let you know that the information we got from your channel was the most useful of all the Disneyland content we could find on CZcams. Also - I know this was just our experience of one week, but we had early entry and hands-down, The busiest day in the parks was on Wednesday when we rope dropped but didn’t use the early entry park. I’m wondering if, since now they rotate parks, the non-early entry park will be that much busier as locals and offsite guests try to avoid early entry crowds.

    • @SoCalDisneyDad
      @SoCalDisneyDad  Před měsícem

      I don’t ever pay attention to it, to be honest. So I doubt locals are concerned with it. But everyone else might definitely be considering that.
      It doesn’t impact much (to me) unless it’s your goal to ride Radiator Springs Racers or Peter Pan’s Flight at rope drop.
      Those two rides are absolutely affected by early entry. Everything else, not so much.

    Re: 30 minute re-scan - you can re-scan back in before the 30 minute minimum if you rent a scooter from Disneyland. It's on the right hand side, after the security checkpoint near the buses. You'll check back in on the far right too.

    I’d love to see a demonstration about how rider switch works at a ride like Indiana jones because I’m still a little confused. Do I not make a lightning lane reservation for my too short child, and just for the other 3 of us? Do we go to the lightning lane and tell the cast member our one child doesn’t have a LL because he’s too short and we need to do ride swap?

    • @SoCalDisneyDad

      Reservations? Probably never. The reason WDW got rid of them is that 80% of their visitors are out of towners with date specific tickets. Like Disney knows I will be there May 16-25. They just don’t know what park I’m going to.
      Park Hopping, I’m hopeful that will eventually disappear here as it did there, but it may not. And that’s primarily because our parks are right next to each other.
      Almost no one will park hop right away at WDW because it takes so long to do.
