@@Lordkurt-kd5td they need to expand the area behind the lightning McQueen show to be a Cars Land. That would make Hollywood Studios more worth it. It’s better now than it was pre-2019. But I still feel like it’s my least favorite of the 4 parks.
I love hearing all the secrets in each land. Everything is so intricately themed but I think under-appreciated by most people….mostly because people just don’t notice as they are hurrying to their next attraction.
I totally agree about Soarin California should be in Cali and Soarin around the world should be in Fl. I was looking forward to seeing the CA version and was bummed when I missed it both in Oct and in Feb. We did single rider for RSR and it ended up breaking down and still took us probably 45 min but still way better than 100+. Lover hearing about all the secrets and new info I hadnt heard in previous videos. Thanks!🤩
Just wanted to say thank you for your videos Traver! They were so helpful in planning our Disneyland adventure as part of our honeymoon trip from Australia! We had one day to do both DL & DCA on our trip and I don’t think we would have had such a good day and seen and done as much as we did without your videos and tips and tricks! ☺️🙌🏼 Now I still watch your videos to relive the magic of our trip and dream about how I’d love to go back again one day! 🤩
I enjoyed this so much. Having a rough day and I needed a good Disneyland/California Adventure video since it's my happy place. This made me feel like I was there. Thanks. ❤
Maybe I have a thing to add? That popcorn cart on Sunset is the only one in the Parks that has fresh caramel popcorn. I love it and get it all the time.
Question, we are going to Disneyland in March. We have our 7 yr old granddaughter. Do we need genie plus and magic bands to use genie plus,?. I really enjoy your videos.
Thank you so much for this video! So helpful with the planning process. Do you happen to know where/when Buzz does meet and greets or where he can be found?
Was looking forward to eating a couple times at Earl of Sandwich Tavern next week but their website site at Downtown Disney is gone so I’m afraid they’re not gonna be there…
@@cthulhu5101 It’s still there. They haven’t started closed it yet. And from what I hear, there will be a food truck for it once it does close until its new permanent location is up and running.
Great video as always! I didn’t realize Flo’s was an engine! I recently learned the flying Spider-Man in Avengers Campis is a Robot! That blew me away.
Love your videos! Do you ever do hotel reviews for San Diego resorts? I’m planning a trip there and looking into The Dana at Mission Bay and would love to see you review it! Thanks!
I generally don’t because we have no need for hotels local to us. And I don’t get comped for my stay. So I do hotel tours at Disneyland when we went to do a 2-day visit or do an evening event like Oogie Boogie. But since we live in San Diego, our house is like 30 minutes away.
I would also like to see some San Diego stuff as well. I'm taking my new sports car (poor man's Porsche) down the Oregon Coast/PAC 1 to San Diego. I love Coronado Island. Speaking of Oogie Boogie we were there for the first one and last year's. I did like them both but last year's wasn't quite as good.
You’d have to wait and see what the temps are. But the people in tshirts and shorts are probably from places where it’s below freezing this time of year. And the people in sweatshirts are locals or from the Southern part of the US.
@@SoCalDisneyDad That makes sense, thank you. Hadn’t thought about the locals/out of towner aspect. We are coming from Michigan & used to Florida for spring break where it’s usually just always hot. 🤣
Loved this video - really helpful and interesting! We'll be visiting from the UK for the 1st time at the end of April and it is a lifelong dream for me! If you have any advice on getting After Dark tickets I'd be grateful for any help (Friday is general sale day for the Star Wars ones I believe - we'd so love to get some!) Your videos are really helping us plan - thanks so much!
Show up to the queue before 9 AM. It generally opens around 8:45 AM sometimes earlier. And it won’t actually completely open until 9 AM, but I like to be in there when they first make it possible to join. And then just cross your fingers.
@@sarahcrowe8283 It opened for me today at 8:42 AM. You just have to be on the special events page. But you do need to refresh until you’re in the queue. And once in the queue no refreshing needed.
Not, not in my experience, though I haven’t actually been to Disneyland on those days, other parks I’ve been to like SeaWorld or LEGOLAND tend to be more crowded because people are off of work and the parks do special New Years stuff.
Hi sir need help. Going to Disney in the 3rd week of March . Haven’t bought tickets yet but I did check and it shows both parks are available so when I choose the 3 day pack and takes me to the dates that show both symbol and then says choose what park for what days is that my reservation? Thank you
Yes, you are choosing your park reservations as you buy the tickets. So when it shows the symbols, and it asks you to click a day, you are picking which park you will be in on that day. And your reservation is confirmed. You can switch it later on the make/modify reservation page if you want to.
@@SoCalDisneyDad o okay , but do you think they will sell out by March 21 that’s the day I want to start the 3 day southern disney special . I haven’t bought tickets yet but still showing available. Am waiting for my American Express card to come in the mail but don’t want to mess up and not be able to buy them if they sell out
@@mr.unknowncali-life9350 I couldn’t tell you that for certain. The best you can do is look at see how fast dates around right now are selling out (if at all) and make a judgement. But that is during Spring Break, and will be a higher priority. I couldn’t tell you what will happen though.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you sir , as of now I think all days are available. I just checked but am new to this lol . I really appreciate it . Am a new sub
Thank you! We are going in April and have a reservation so wasn't sure if there are different lines for those who have reservations and those who don't. @@SoCalDisneyDad
I’ve had one of them. It was pretty good. It was seasonal though. I do need to try to their regular shakes. But it’s probably similar. Still not the best in the resort. That goes to Black Tap.
Nope. It's been quiet on the Hyperion front. I wish they'd bring it back, I thought it was phenomenal, and because only ran during the summer while my family was blocked out, they never got to see it. This year, they have passes that will allow them to come during the summer.
@@theegg-freebaker8249 I think I skipped right over it because nothing is there. No, there are no shows, and haven’t been since August. And before the 2 month run of Rogers, there hadn’t been anything since before COVID. So it’s been awhile that they’ve had anything meaningful there.
No rules. Aside from no selfie sticks. And generally don’t disrupt operations, etc. A few rides, like Incredicoaster or Goofy’s Sky School, might not allow filming but it depends on the cast member. I’ve filmed with my phone before. And I’ve been told no phones. GoPros work on those rides though. Provided it’s on a wrist mount or something similar.
Another thing about Superstar Limo, is that it was supposed to be a fast paced ride, but they changed not by choice but were forced to because from what i've heard, princess diana died in car crash in Paris. i could be wrong, correct me.
Yes, that’s what I read. It was supposed to be an escape from the paparazzi. But it was in poor taste after her death and so the ride had to be changed last minute.
Yes. It’s been replaced by Disney’s Imagination Campus (which is a academic program, not available to guests) which was previously located in the Blue Sky Cellar, but they are turning that into a DVC area.
Didn’t say it wasn’t. Just that we haven’t seen a live-action Miles in the films yet. There’s so much involved now with the MCU it’s hard to keep track of everything.
That might be so, I’m not an expert on every comic issue. But Miles IS still the Ultimate Spider-Man. I mean the title of his comic book issue is “Miles Morales: Ultimate Spider-Man”. So you can’t exactly say he isn’t.
You mean Pacific warf, screamin California, fun wheel and Ariels grotto haha jk jk its been a long time since i smlast went clearly i dont think cars was open yet...
@@SoCalDisneyDad Yeah me as well I tried during the Oogie Boogie bash. Disney gets enough money from their 'guests' especially us Canadians with a terrible dollar.
Cars land at night is the best thing ever
It is really awesome. I’ve never been there during the Shaboom lighting though. I really need to try to plan that some time.
Wish Florida had cars land too
@@Lordkurt-kd5td they need to expand the area behind the lightning McQueen show to be a Cars Land. That would make Hollywood Studios more worth it.
It’s better now than it was pre-2019. But I still feel like it’s my least favorite of the 4 parks.

thank you for this tour, I've only been to the Orlando parks and soon to the Paris one... Anaheim is on my bucket list
Im going to disneyland and California adventure in two weeks, im really excited
Awesome! Getting there just before the Spring Break crowds.
Maybe I have a thing to add? That popcorn cart on Sunset is the only one in the Parks that has fresh caramel popcorn. I love it and get it all the time.
Oh, nice! Didn’t know that. I rarely buy popcorn. 😂 Good to know!

@@kimmagee2063 MagicBand+ is not necessary for Genie+. You can use your ticket on your phone.
Thank you so much for this video! So helpful with the planning process. Do you happen to know where/when Buzz does meet and greets or where he can be found?
I’ve seen him in front of Toy Story Midway Mania. But I can’t tell you when. You could ask a cast member in the area.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thank you so much for the reply, I really appreciate it :)
Crossing our fingers we can find him for my buzz obsessed twins.
I’ll be in Disneyland in 3 days!!! 🎉
Awesome! Hope you have a magical trip and avoid the rain.
Hope it drys up soon…be there one week from today
@@cthulhu5101 Looks like it’s supposed to rain on Sunday, but the rest of the week looks good so far.

Great video as usual!
Good information in this video!
Thank you!
Very informative
- thanks
King Triton used to be in the little pond at the end of Main Street where Tinkerbell is now, you used to meet Ariel there
Great video as always! I didn’t realize Flo’s was an engine! I recently learned the flying Spider-Man in Avengers Campis is a Robot! That blew me away.
Yes! And a very good thing, too. Because it’s crashed a time or too. 😂
Good job Travor.

You should have mentioned how terrifying Goofy’s Sky School really is! It’s scarier than Incredicoaster!
I see people in jeans & sweatshirts, but also people in shorts & tshirts… I don’t know which to pack more of for the end of March! 😂
You’d have to wait and see what the temps are. But the people in tshirts and shorts are probably from places where it’s below freezing this time of year. And the people in sweatshirts are locals or from the Southern part of the US.

Amy and I will be at DCA most of the day for the Food and Wine Festival on Friday the 1st.
25:10 oh wow, really? Was it the one from the moat to the right side of the castle?
Have rope drop strategies changed since the changes for early arrival now that you can go to the park without the hotel guests?
Would crowds be lighter on New Year’s Day or New Year’s Eve? Thanks for the video.
Not, not in my experience, though I haven’t actually been to Disneyland on those days, other parks I’ve been to like SeaWorld or LEGOLAND tend to be more crowded because people are off of work and the parks do special New Years stuff.

It’s possible it’s a bit of both. I went right around the time it opened.
Thank you! We are going in April and have a reservation so wasn't sure if there are different lines for those who have reservations and those who don't. @@SoCalDisneyDad
You always seem to stump me on things I did not know. I love it. I always learn something new.
I know in a previous food video you said you are a milkshake snob, have you tried the ones at Flo’s and if so, how are they?
I’ve had one of them. It was pretty good. It was seasonal though. I do need to try to their regular shakes. But it’s probably similar. Still not the best in the resort. That goes to Black Tap.
Any info about Rogers the Musical happening again?
Nope. It's been quiet on the Hyperion front. I wish they'd bring it back, I thought it was phenomenal, and because only ran during the summer while my family was blocked out, they never got to see it. This year, they have passes that will allow them to come during the summer.
Bummer! Is there anything playing in that theatre right now? Maybe I missed it on your walkthrough?
@@theegg-freebaker8249 I think I skipped right over it because nothing is there.
No, there are no shows, and haven’t been since August. And before the 2 month run of Rogers, there hadn’t been anything since before COVID. So it’s been awhile that they’ve had anything meaningful there.
Thanks for the info! Your videos are great!
Is it just me or DCA doesn’t flow like Disneyland does? Also i had a harder time using LL. I had to keep refreshing the app. Still was fun though!
What are the rules for taking videos for TH-cam at Disneyland?
No rules. Aside from no selfie sticks. And generally don’t disrupt operations, etc.
A few rides, like Incredicoaster or Goofy’s Sky School, might not allow filming but it depends on the cast member. I’ve filmed with my phone before. And I’ve been told no phones. GoPros work on those rides though. Provided it’s on a wrist mount or something similar.

9:59 the spider man ps5 video games are confirmed MCU canon just a different universe
Didn’t say it wasn’t. Just that we haven’t seen a live-action Miles in the films yet.
There’s so much involved now with the MCU it’s hard to keep track of everything.
@@SoCalDisneyDadWatch into the spider verse , no spoilers , but miles in MCU🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@ReezA.MP3 I know he’s in that movie. But I meant a live-action Miles, not cartoon.

You mean Pacific warf, screamin California, fun wheel and Ariels grotto haha jk jk its been a long time since i smlast went clearly i dont think cars was open yet...
I do not like pay for play in video games and i certainly wont like it at the theme parks. IE webs for webslingers.
Fair enough. You can still play it without the upgrade. I mean, I’ve never bought one. I just like the concept of making merch interact with rides.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Yeah me as well I tried during the Oogie Boogie bash. Disney gets enough money from their 'guests' especially us Canadians with a terrible dollar.
Making notes for your videos would make you seam like you were more an expert, and not just a dude with a cellphone and a TH-cam channel.
If you don’t like this type of video, you don’t need to watch it. Plenty of people are happy with my content.
I love how Disney has pay to win rides….
