Tianas is a short wait because its COLD. Spash mountain would have had a 10-20 minute wait. Typically in the past splash mountain became a walk-on in the evening. Disney planned this well. It will have a huge wait in the summer
Im so glad they didnt do the finger print scanner from Orlando. That was such a pain and so slow when I went to DW a few months ago. One day I forgot what finger I used and had to try a few.
After visiting Disneyland Paris, I am all for these new gates. Now I agree that the original gates are nostalgic, however, we must remember that nostalgic doesn't always mean efficient. This system is just so much more fast and easy that it honestly shocked me that they didn't bring these to the American Disney parks sooner. Also, for all we know, Disney might leave a few of the old-fashioned gates at the entrance for posterity's sake and nostalgia. And lets remember, this is progress, which means it would most likely have been approved by Walt.
The cast member scanned your ticket, so those gates are not fully operational. It's some kind of test. When they're up and running for real, you will scan your own ticket and the cast member will keep an eye on things from the park side of the gate.
Next Up (hopefully) changing Security to be more like Universal, Knotts or Six flags. Having people go through every bag is soooooo old school and slow and not as safe as the scanners that can see everything in your bag.
Last week I ticked one more thing off my bucket list, seeing Disneyland at Christmas. My daughter use to love Splash Mountain. We would close out our visit with that being our last ride. We were very disappointed in the remake😞 Another shock was Pirates. People were getting soaked! It was awful! I road it twice on two different days, sadly I may never ride it again. I had to go to the bathroom and wring out my pants and jacket both times. My husband asked me which character did I want to take pictures with. I told him Dylan from Theme Park Obsession! He just laughed at me. Maybe someday I'll be able to check that one off my bucket list. Oh, as a result of watching your Tokyo Disney blog my granddaughter was inspired to visit. She LOVED IT!! You do such a great job with your videos! They're a family treat!
@ The last time we stayed right next to the TSPL and we didn't have a car,so we walked to the parking lot an went through security then on the way back we took a Lyft back to the hotel as we hung out at DTD after we left the park.
At Disneyland Paris, you would scan your own ticket yourself and go in. However, sometimes people would come up right behind me and run through the gate before it closed, without a ticket. I let a cast member know, but they didn't seem to be too concerned about it in Paris. 🤷♂ I guess that problem isn't unusual there.
25:55 the merch in this video I believe isn’t sold inside the land. The reason they put it outside is because all the merch inside Galaxy’s Edge has to look like it was made within the canon Star Wars. I haven’t been in the parks to verify if this is still true though.
@ At Disney World their extension was 8383. We Cast Members joked that was their age. It took them forever to respond. That was over 30 years ago. Seems some things never change
Awhile ago but now I don’t even want to go down that path. It ends up ruining your analytics and metrics. Long form content is where it’s at and it’s where I’ll stay on this platform. 😄
Hi Dylan! Hey my family and I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for all that you do. May I ask a question off subject? You have been wearing those great waffle thermal shirts and I would like to know where you buy them please. My adult son really likes them! Happy Holidays to you and your family and friends! All my best! Thanks!
Dylan: Lime is “okay” Well I don’t feel betrayed at all. Not that I have 3 Lime trees. It’s like we don’t know you at all. S M H Spiders are just a big nope. Let them burn the ride down and rebuild it. When in doubt, let Katie decide. Crazy to think how cut back entertainment has become even during Xmas. I recently saw a vlog from Tokyo Disney Resort where characters and entertainment of all kinds was present everywhere. It was the experience I would want for the money paid which ironically was less than the US parks INCLUDING travel. You kinda wish Oriental would run all the parks. After a few POV’s, it’s clear Tiana’s is fine but kinda bland as it is now. Disney isn’t Six Flags where a drop, a turn, or any element is what brings the boys to the yard. Its depth of experience. Mr Toads is a must with a fun and emotional story, ups and downs literally to hell. Versus Tiana which is “nice” like a scoop of Vanilla, not memorable except for the glitches. Funny enough I hear the Star Wars land transition noise in my head going from LA county to Orange. IYKYK lol, fingers crossed Jersey Mikes stays okay after being bought out. Supreme Club ftw. I truly appreciate Dylan’s approach to how the aesthetics of merch sale sites should have standards. Make it organic to the lands. Corn Dog 😔The one thing I most wanted when I last went until Pirates HARD broke down until after the park closed. Ah well. Seeing Laminar flow in Pixie Hollow is pretty cool. Nerd Alert 🚨 Awesome Vid as Usual ❤
Re Tianas. I'll bet it gets more popular during warm months. I haven't been yet, but every vlog I've seen shows everyone getting absolutely soaked. I don't remember getting that totally soaked on Splash, at least when it was newer. As a matter of fact, when they were opening it for the first time (yes, I'm that old!) they "re-worked it" as test riders said they got too wet!
They have that at LAX so the issue is they want use to be able to do it ourselves gate opens and boards just so they dont have to pay as many people per gate.. But the issue is when people have a brand new pass it needs to be linked with a photo so its annoying how theyll hold up the line longer.. but dinsney doenst care about that they just care at how much theyre saving not hiring people
just saw a video of dinseyland paris and its sad how bigger companiers are making things more and more on the guest to do we already pay more but they want us to learn how to stand behind the line, scan our own ticket, and if we need to link our photos to our pass we have to stand in front of the ipad and take our photo. that just makes us spend time we are there to work for the company?
Maybe I’m one of the few that really doesn’t care what theme a log ride has, I’m on the log ride for the log and ride and getting wet. The theme is just an extra bonus. They could put any theme or no theme and I would still love the log ride.
Hello Dylan David here. I’ve been at Disneyland fan and collector for over 50 years. Thanks for the great video. I have a question for you. Have you heard any word when the haunted mansion gift shop will open and do you have any thoughts about it? Thanks and have a magical day😊
Very interesting that the wait times for Tiana's were low the last couple of times you were in the park. Another Disney vlogger recently uploaded a video all about the experience of waiting in the standby queue and the wait times were above 70 minutes at certain points of the day. But the big issue that was captured in that video was that Tiana's went down 3 times that day during their time at the park to make that content. You made a past video about how Tiana's is still going down frequently and I wonder if that plays a small role in those low wait times. Where guests have gotten in line to try and ride it, but it broke down and they just decided to ride it later in the future once all the kinks are all ironed out. Or it could be as simple as it was just one of those odd Mondays where there wasn't that many people in the park at that time of day.
Love the video and want some tips on starting a vlog channel for me and Michael are thinking of moving to Florida just us together someday and want to meet you some day at Disney land and Bashgarders in January and bringing a friend april
Disney’s security a.k.a. Disneyland’s TSA absolutely stinks. It is very inefficient and the rules change all the time and the people are often really kind of short with you. It’s not a great way to start your day at Disneyland because it gets people stressed. They need to hire different people and pay them a lot better because a lot of the ones they have now on Harbor Boulevard at the front of the theme park really suck. The ones at Toy Story parking lot are way more chill and don’t give off that pissed off vibe you get at the Theme Park entrance on Harbor.
Idk how to say this but.. I would be ok skipping Tiana’s when visiting the park next time (Splash not so much). I really am not into that finale song they picked and the ride seems a bit boring to me now. Just my 2 cents.
So what do you "hate" about security here at Disneyland? If not for security, I can only imagine what items people would bring into the park. All you do is complain! If you think you can do a better job, why don't you apply for security and then maybe you'll get a better insight. If Disneyland is so bad, why even waste your time going?!?! Oh that's right, this is how you make your bread and butter by doing these vlogs.
You clearly don’t listen when you watch my videos. The system they use at Disneyland is elementary and not safe at all. Yeah having someone dig through your bag sifting through your personal items is waaaayyy more efficient than what every other Disney property around the world uses🙄😒. Travel outside the bubble and you’ll understand what I’m talking about.
@ThemeParkObsessionDD Then why waste your time with Disneyland?!?! You're absolutely correct, I don't listen very much when watching your videos because I rarely watch them because all you do is complain!! Quick solution...unfollow!! Have a Magical Day!!
Hope you enjoy today’s vlog from the park! If you did don’t forget to give it a like. ❤️
I was at disneyland today
Thanks Dylan! I know I had fun!
Tianas is a short wait because its COLD. Spash mountain would have had a 10-20 minute wait. Typically in the past splash mountain became a walk-on in the evening. Disney planned this well. It will have a huge wait in the summer
Loving the more frequent videos lately!
Aw yay! Well thanks so much and I’m glad you are enjoying them.

It is winter time in So cal people don't wanna get soaked during the cold
The ride is fantastic and I actually love the whole feel. I was there on Saturday and I thought the same. It’s cold, to me colder then usual.
I like how you gave your thoughts on Tiana at the urinal.
Yeah whoever was ahead of me was taking forever. They really had to go lol
😂my thoughts exactly! I was watching the video with my headphones and the water was so loud I thought Dylan was sitting on the thrown! 😂
Here’s my hot take. Disney should redo Pixie Hollow into a flex meet and greet space for seasonal/promotional characters.
Ooo that’s actually a really good idea 🙌

I thought you edit your videos at the gingerbread house at six flags
I have multiple locations.
@@ThemeParkObsessionDD I heard sometimes Patrick Begorra helps edit from his little tree in front of the Indiana Jones attraction.
Went to Paris Disneyland this past August and these gates were already in operation. Knew they’d eventually be installed in Anaheim.
They are so nice. Super easy to get into the park in Paris.
Nice! Finally an update on the entrance. Now to Finally upgrade the security entrance lol that still takes forever.
Toy Story Parking Lot is the way to avoid the long line at security as the parking lot security line is short and you avoid the park security.
@bzydad 💯💯💯 just don't miss the last bus after the park closes lol
@ The last time we stayed right next to the TSPL and we didn't have a car,so we walked to the parking lot an went through security then on the way back we took a Lyft back to the hotel as we hung out at DTD after we left the park.

I never realized how tall you are until you walked into Disney. 🤯
lol not super tall but I’m 5’11”
Universal Orlando uses facial recognition now and it’s so fast! Line moves very quickly.
Yup! I really like the new system over there.
Congrats on 89k subs!
Thank you so much! So happy that so many over the years have decided to sub and enjoy the ride with all of us.
It’s been an amazing ride so far. ❤️😊
@ you’re welcome, just 10k more until 100k!
Oh boy, a faster way to get to my three hour wait for a ride.
Hahahahha 😂😂😂
oooo that will be so great for my mobility scooter!
Yeah I saw a lot of people going through with scooters.
Dole Whip is the best!!!! I’m always a pineapple kind of gal.
That’s always yummy. For me the coconut is the best
Don't scan my face! Keep me in some AI engine! Jeez!
Its about time! lol Disneyworld implemented fingerprinting so long ago, can't believe it took DLand this long to upgrade its entrances!
25:55 the merch in this video I believe isn’t sold inside the land. The reason they put it outside is because all the merch inside Galaxy’s Edge has to look like it was made within the canon Star Wars. I haven’t been in the parks to verify if this is still true though.
If that’s true that’s the dumbest reason because it makes Disney look cheap with how they are approaching it now.
You don’t like Disney Security? Why not? When I worked Disney Attractions we had a joke about Disney Security 😂
Because their methods are super old school.
@ At Disney World their extension was 8383. We Cast Members joked that was their age. It took them forever to respond. That was over 30 years ago. Seems some things never change
Dole Whip always sounds good
It’s sooooo good
BOOM BABY
Heck yeah! Hope you enjoyed the video.
Im going to miss that satisfying sound of the turnstile
Same, there is something about that sound.
Have you thought about pushing out TH-cam shorts? With TikTok ending soon there may be a slight tick in users.
Awhile ago but now I don’t even want to go down that path. It ends up ruining your analytics and metrics. Long form content is where it’s at and it’s where I’ll stay on this platform. 😄
Hi Dylan! Hey my family and I really enjoy your videos! Thanks for all that you do. May I ask a question off subject? You have been wearing those great waffle thermal shirts and I would like to know where you buy them please. My adult son really likes them! Happy Holidays to you and your family and friends! All my best! Thanks!
Happy Holidays to you as well! All my longsleeve shirts are from Target.
Dylan: Lime is “okay” Well I don’t feel betrayed at all. Not that I have 3 Lime trees. It’s like we don’t know you at all. S M H
Spiders are just a big nope. Let them burn the ride down and rebuild it.
When in doubt, let Katie decide.
Crazy to think how cut back entertainment has become even during Xmas. I recently saw a vlog from Tokyo Disney Resort where characters and entertainment of all kinds was present everywhere. It was the experience I would want for the money paid which ironically was less than the US parks INCLUDING travel. You kinda wish Oriental would run all the parks.

Funny enough I hear the Star Wars land transition noise in my head going from LA county to Orange. IYKYK
lol, fingers crossed Jersey Mikes stays okay after being bought out. Supreme Club ftw.
I truly appreciate Dylan’s approach to how the aesthetics of merch sale sites should have standards. Make it organic to the lands.

Fresh Baked just did a video and Tiana’s was insane, mostly because of breakdowns.
Was there today too!
Hope you had a great time at the park!

You look so smooth in your thumbnail. You look like “Bad guys don’t look at explosions!” 🤣
Hahah I had to keep it cool walking through that new entrance.
Facial recognition. Nop Nop Nop.
Why not?
It’s super quick and easy and I believe you can opt out of it.

It looks like a gate before an elevator hall at a big office.
🎉🎉hide your churro kt and Dillon are in the park🎉🎉
Whatever happened to the rumor of country Bear jamboree going to DCA.
Rumor has been pushed away since the D23 announcements.
Love the video and want some tips on starting a vlog channel for me and Michael are thinking of moving to Florida just us together someday and want to meet you some day at Disney land and Bashgarders in January and bringing a friend april
Thanks as always for being amazing!
Dylan you look taller than i expected when they recorded you go thru the gate hehe.
What’s new about the turnstiles I don’t really understand. is it just a gate instead of a turnstile
New tech similar to Disneyland Paris. They have facial scanners now built in which is cool but those will be turned on over time.
So...sounded like you were in the bathroom with Jimmy Dugan during the Tiana breakdown...
Whoever was in front of me really had to go. Must of had too much soda from coke corner.
Remember when Disneys CEO, I’m not naming names, Said when he took a tour “ this is really boring “. He may not be wrong.
Common people give him 100k subscribers for Christmas 🎄
It will happen soon😊
NOT the spider story!!!!
Yeah it was scary haha. So ever since that I always look up and around in that area.

Love the blog how come michael doesn't come anymore
Why is security not good at all? A blanket statement that needs some sort of objective verifiable evidence
Splash Mountain would of had a 120 min wait alllll day and night.
Idk how to say this but.. I would be ok skipping Tiana’s when visiting the park next time (Splash not so much). I really am not into that finale song they picked and the ride seems a bit boring to me now. Just my 2 cents.

Aye first time being first
Yay!!! Hope you enjoyed the vlog today.
Those new “gates” are going to break. Too much opening and closing.
They are not going to change Security because of how much money Disneyland lost with the lawsuit that they had to give up
