- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 12 มิ.ย. 2024
- Join us for this Disney California Adventure ride challenge as we attempt to ride every ride at Disney California Adventure in a single day. We'll rope drop Radiator Springs Racers, maximize our use of Genie+, and strategically plan when to standby the rest of the rides.
It was a crowded day, and an excellent baseline you can use as a basis for your own Disneyland vacation planning.

I love a lot of Disneyland TH-camrs. What I love about this channel is you do everything with your family which gives families a real idea of what it would be like to do these things with our kids and family. Keep it up!
watching socal disney dad every day until i go to disneyland. countdown 68/0
Me too 69/0
DCA is definitely doable in one day, especially during the weekdays. Keep up with the good content!
We’ve done it twice now with very little effort. Usually finished around 5-6 PM without going crazy.
every person in the green ran at the start
I’m glad other people were bothered by this too. 😅
I was nearly at the front of the rope drop line, but still waited 35 minutes because people kept running past us instead of staying in line behind the obvious group all going the same place.
Congrats to Amy for winning at Web Slingers! (Again lol)
🤣 She always wins. I think I’ve beaten her twice in about two dozen attempts. Haha.
I don’t get what I do wrong. 😅
Awesome to see all the rides. 😃I`m looking so much forward to my vacation to the US and California in late August. It`s been many years since I was in Disneyland, so I`m sure there`s lots of new fun things. How do you think the crowds will be at the end of August? We are planning a whole day in California Adventure and a whole day in Disneyland. We always stay at the park from opening time until closing time. Thanks for a great video. 👍🏼😃
Great video!! I love planning for Disney and with my upcoming trip I’ve been loving your videos
Thank you!
Thanks for your great videos. We found them very helpful when we travelled from Australia at Christmas time
This was a very entertaining vlog. I'm starting to like DCA more and more. And very easy for me to do it in a day. Specially since I can't ride all the rides. I'm getting excited for your Disneyworld trip.
Your boys are so cute!
Great video! Very fun to watch while learning strategies ☺️🙌🏼
Thank you!
Thanks for posting very helpful videos. We are heading to the parks the beginning of July. This is a once in a lifetime trip so appreciative of the helpful tips to navigate the parks. 🇨🇦
Thank you for the great information.
Great video! Thanks!
We are going to Disneyland and DCA for my kids first time this Thursday - Saturday. I am taking all your tips to heart!!!
Such a sweet and authentic family! You deliver the important info needed for efficiently riding a ton of rides. We have had two awesome trips using your expert knowledge! Thank you tons from our family to yours!
Glad you’ve had great trips!
I discovered this Channel around a week ago, and I’ve watched almost every video you’ve made. I’m going to Disneyland in May for Star Wars nite and I’m so excited! Keep up the great work and I’d love to support the channel
Thank you so much! We will be at Star Wars Nite on April 16th. It’ll be my first time, and I’ll have a video up the day after.
@@SoCalDisneyDad I can’t wait to watch, hope you have an amazing time!!
Thank you for the video
The challenge videos are the best keep it up
Thank you! They’re a bit more time intensive, so I can’t do them as often since I usually need to film multiple videos in a single visit.
But I’m open to suggestions if you have other challenges you’d like us to do!
When I went to Disneyland for my break we went on Radiator springs racer and we were not racing anyone too 😂😂❤ btw love your vids
I’m going to Disneyland on Saturday I love your videos
Always interesting seeing the use of the individual experience passes. Especially interesting you can use on Luigi’s. I really enjoy the spin up high on dumbo but totally can’t handle the tea cups so not sure which of the DCA rides I’ll be ok with? Since we can’t handle the roller coasters we have limited rides for rope drop and after seeing this video we are now debating starting at either Luigi’s and single rider at radiator racers at cars land or Toy Story and the non swinging cars at Pixar pier. Thanks for all the helpful info.
I actually laughed out loud at your “speaking of Joy…” segue 😂
Great video!!
Awh we seen you guys that day in DCA but was too shy to say hi! Btw, can I ask what you use to hold your phone?
We’re in the background at the 6:05 mark 🤣 we’re discussing if it’s ok to say hi 😅
Great Video!
Thank you!
Loving these videos, I am going to Disneyland in July any recommendations or tips?
Here’s my summer tips video:
BEST Disneyland 2023 Summer Tips You NEED to Know
th-cam.com/video/RKs8yfk389g/w-d-xo.html
I don’t remember all what’s on it. I do tend to share overlapping tips, so you might have seen some of them already, but that was specifically Summer oriented from last year.
As we get closer to Summer this year, probably in June, I’ll do a series of Summer related videos, including the new summer seasonal food.
Nice! You guys have so much energy - we can’t last that long! We book Toy Story LL for 8am and often end up with multi experience. I’m guessing that ride is down more at 8am than other rides but I’m not sure?
Yes, but in this instance, it said “lightning lane currently not offered” until the ride actually opened for the day, around 8:40 AM or so.
Ah - good to know. thanks - I haven't run into that yet but probably will @@SoCalDisneyDad
If you ordered genie+ online as well as your disney ticket - on the app when can you use the genie+ thing and what would u need to do if it does not show up on app?
It’ll be attached to your ticket if you pre-purchased with your ticket. So it should already be active when you go to use it. Talk to guest services if it’s not, but I’ve never heard anyone having issues with this.
You can’t use it until you’ve scanned into the park for the first time for the day. Once you pass through those turnstiles, it’ll be active the rest of the day, even if you leave and go back to the hotel.
But you can’t have a lazy morning and just book stuff for later in the afternoon at Disneyland. Because you can’t start getting lightning lanes until you’ve scanned in, and if you’ve scanned in, you might as well just go into the park.
Every party member needs to be scanned in. One person can’t do it for everyone. So you can’t even designate a single person to get ready and go to the park. Everyone has to go.
Green shirts... that means you were at DCA the exact same day I spent my birthday at Disneyland! 😮 Wish I could've known you were at the other park before this hahaha 😅
We popped over to Disneyland for 2 hours from 12:15 to 2:15ish.
What do you think about rope dropping to maters and luigis if you plan to single rider radiator springs and have G+?
Probably a solid plan. Considering those two were the longest of the standby rides later in the day when we went through most of them.
Great video. Thank you! I'll be there at DCA on a Friday with Genie+ in 2 weeks. Should I utilize a strategy like this one or should I knock out Pixar Pier right away and do Genie+ ones later? Maybe rope drop RSR first and then head over to the pier? It's a DCA early entry day when I'm there but I'm not staying on property.
You’ll likely experience a day similar to this if you start at RSR. But unless you can single rider it, it’s really the only option for not having to wait 60+ minutes.
Pixar Pier is a better rope drop location all around, but that also supposes Toy Story is open right away, which it is not about half the time.
@@SoCalDisneyDad ok thanks for the advice. I really appreciate it!
Great video again. Was on the edge of my seat to see if you would complete your challenge 😂. Would there be a situation where you would purchase ILL for Radiator? We will only be be at DCA for 1 day our trip.
You could. We just chose not to. We didn’t do Mickey’s Philharmagic or anything else non-ride related at the park, which you might want to do, so saving time with the ILL might be helpful.
Hi, question, we will be in Disneyland on june2-6, I know June 5 is a granite, so avoid DCA on that day for sure, is that correct thing to do? thank you!
Yes! Avoid DCA on grad nites because they get access all day. It’s not like normal after hours events where the mix in is just 3 hours before.
The Grad Nite tickets have an upgrade option that for like $10 extra they can go to the park all day. So DCA will be overrun with 18 year olds.
My friend and I are planning on going early april. Would you suggest we single rider a lot of the busy rides to get more rides in a day? we will also have genie plus but we cannot rope drop DCA. We will however rope drop DLP.
If you’ve only got one day and you’re trying to maximize your time, yes, single rider the rides that have single rider. It’ll cut the wait by at least 50-70% if not more depending on the ride.
13:50 it’s Drew Carrey omggg I just watched the ride video he had the same pamphlet 🤣🤣
I would love to hear some kid perspective. I’m taking three kiddos this winter and it’d be great to make any adjustments to make it a better experience for them.
What questions do you have? I can ask the kids. They don’t necessarily like to be on camera answering questions. All I usually get is “good!” 🤣 But I can ask them off camera and report back.
SPINNY RIDES! LOLOLOL
🤣
Does the multi experience pass roll over to another day? We got 2 last time and didn’t end up using them. Was at the end of the day
Unfortunately, no.
You guys do a great job. How well do the rides at Disneyland and DCA handle backpacks?
Very well. You can take them on every attraction without issue. They just sit at your feet.
The centrifugal force keeps them safe, but for the paranoid like me, I usually slip my leg through a shoulder strap. But I’ve never had an issues or close calls. They are safe.
Disney wouldn’t allow them on the rides if they were at risk of falling out.
OK thank you
I have a question about genie+ that I have not heard mentioned in any of the videos yet. When you have genie+ for 4 people on the same account, do you have to book a genie+ ride 4 different times (one for each person), or do you do it once and it is good for all 4 people?
Good for your entire party.
You do it once for all four, but the account booking the LLs needs to have all four tickets linked to their account.
I usually save my genie plus for later in a day but the way you navigated it, I think I’m going to try it that way especially since I’ll have a park hopper
Our goal is usually to use every lightning lane we can. To get our money’s worth. So that’s why we start early and try to pound them out as fast as possible.
@@SoCalDisneyDad which is a great idea. Thank you for the suggestion and video.
When we went to Disneyland 4 months ago we saw so many people go off to the side of Peter Pan and get in with their multiple experience pass even though it wasn’t listed as a MEP option. It made our wait 30 minutes longer than the posted 50. Hoping now they actually don’t allow them through!
It was probably DAS. Not MEP. Because a cast member wouldn’t likely scan an MEP. But there are a LOT of DAS users for Peter Pan because it’s so popular.
Hey travar, would you possibly consider the idea of creating a food reviews but for Disney drinks ???
We don’t do drinks. Too much sugar, and water is just fine for us. More affordable too (free 😂)
Need Amy’s “how to win web slingers” video
She wishes she knew. 😂 Any time I ask her, she says she "just shoots" and I'm like "so do I, yet I still lose" 😂
I have noticed that she beats me to all the higher point spiders by milliseconds. So she must just have faster reaction times than me.
I know this is a daft question, but since i have never been to Disneyland i dont feel too daft. What do you mean by Standby? does that just mean you stand in the line for the wait time listed?
Correct yes. They have two lines. One is called the Standby Lane, and it’s just the regular line. And then they have a Lightning Lane, which is a paid line through the Genie+ service that is significantly shorter.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you so much, You have been a great help for my prep to going to Disneyland later this year.
Gotg is the best ride!
It’s probably my favorite at DCA, behind RSR of course because it’s hard to beat that one.
Still watching even though we just got a dog so can’t afford to go back until 2026. I’ll watch every video you post until then.
Thank you!! We’d love a dog, but it doesn’t fit our lifestyle. 😅
We do have two cats, though. But they practically mind themselves all day when we are gone about once a week.
Enjoy your new doggo!
I love your videos! I am going to propose to my GF at Disneyland! Any recommendations of a place/area within Disneyland where it’s not super packed? I will be there 4/27
The classic spot is in front of the castle. And at different times of the day it’s not too busy. Earlier in the morning for one.
The other couple of good spots are at the entrance to Main Street USA looking toward the castle. And the entrance to Disneyland itself, with the railroad station behind and the flower display below it.
There are cast members at all three locations (usually a bit later, though, like after 10 AM), and if you play it up like you want a photo with them, then pop the question while they are shooting and you’ll also get some professional photos of the experience.
If you are looking for a more private setting, then any of the table service restaurants would probably afford that.
5:28 theres no way that person looked at the outside of gotg and went indoors and saw the lifts and didnt realise til the last minute that it was tot. People are not bright. One of my old school friends asked me is gotg the same as florida, in response to my picture of the California ride. Like if you have ridden floridas surely you can see its a definitely not a rollercoaster lol
Is the Pixar Pier strategy still the best without Genie +?
I think so. Because you need to tackle Toy Story early, as it’s easily the longest line in the park outside of RSR.
Not related to the topic but how do you guys avoid getting sick going so much? We came home sick 2.5 weeks ago and are still sick. lol we leave to go again in 19 days
Amy and the kids? I have no idea, because they haven't even picked up sicknesses at school this year, which they usually do. For me, I hardly ever get sick. The last time I was sick was September 2021 when I got Covid. And before that it was the flu in February 2019. And those are the only two times I've gotten sick in the last 5 years.
@@SoCalDisneyDad that’s awesome!
Your tips are so helpful! I was able to ride all DCA rides + Soarin’ Over California 3 times. So fun and made the most out of my short Anaheim trip.
So glad to hear you had an awesome time!
You should have tried to get a Multi-Experience Pass at Toy Story Midway Mania between 8am and 8:35am when it was broken. Then you would have been able to accelerate that 10:30pm Mickey & Minnie's Runaway Railway LL and use it immediately. Have you ever tried to Accelerate Lightning Lanes with a Gold Tier multi-experience pass? It's incredible.
I couldn’t. I tried. Before it opened for the day at about 8:40 AM it said “Lightning Lane not currently offered.”
@@SoCalDisneyDadwow I haven’t seen that. I wonder if that’s new? Only seen that message when genie runs out for the day.
@@Tea-no5bc Yeah it was a first for me, too. But that’s what I showed when I tried right at opening.
What is a rope drop?
It is a term for arriving and being in the park right at park opening.
Are you going to do a vid on Critter Country/Winnie the Pooh/Pooh Corner closing? If so, can you find out where one can buy a Tigger Tail & meet Pooh characters this summer since it’s all going to be shut down?
My 2 1/2 yr old daughter is in love w/Pooh & the ride & will be devastated when I break the news that it will all be shut down when we make our once a year trip in mid June. 😢😢😢
It’ll be in Construction Updates, but at the moment, info is so sparse. We don’t even know how long it’ll be closed. It’s just a quick retheme of existing areas.
I mean, I don’t want to get your hopes up prematurely, but I’d be surprised if this takes longer than a month.
They’re basically slapping a new name on a building that already exists.
That would be really wonderful news if it end up taking a month or less! I feel so bad for all the little ones headed to the park in May+ that want to see Pooh.
@@benmonroe_the_1 There’s no guarantees of course. News is sparse. But I’m hopeful at this point that it’s just a very temporary thing as they make a few design changes inside for theming purposes.
What’s a buddy pass?
It’s essentially single rider but for two people. You have to ask the cast member about it at the front of the attraction.
Monsters Inc and Winnie the Pooh are the only two rides that have this feature.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you! I have been to Disneyland so many times and had no idea this existed 😂
Come on. If you are going to do the full park Challenge, commit to it, don't skip rides because you'll get wet!!
There’s a difference between Splash Mountain wet and Grizzly River wet.
We only ride Grizzly River when we have a hotel to return to because you get soak through ALL layers.
Living 90 minutes away, we were not carting a full change of clothes for 4 people around the park.
It is so cold to be wet after grizzly river. We did that in September when it was crazy hot and we were still cold for a good two or three hours
Honest question: is Luigi’s Rollickin’ Roadsters really fun? It’s one of the only
Rides I’ve never done and I just don’t see the draw….
It’s okay. But the line is always too long for me. That ride isn’t worth more than 20 in my opinion. So glad we had the MEP for it.
What is a “buddy pass”?
You mentioned it on Monsters Inc.
It’s single rider, for all intents and purposes, but for 2 people instead of 1. You have to ask the cast member at the front of the attraction for a paper pass that allows you to go through the exit.
Never knew that in all my years I’ve been there! That’s a game changer. Thank you for all your videos and information. We appreciate your family!
Are there any other attractions in the resort that do the buddy pass? 😊
@@beckyg5220 Winnie the Pooh also does it.
Thank you so much. I appreciate you
I wish disney wud just shut for a month and work on the rides so nothing has to be closed thru out the year
They’ll never do that of course. It’s just the nature of Disney. It’s why going during a time like Spring Break does have its advantages. Because there are no rides closed except the extended refurb rides. None are down for regular maintenance.

Is the guardians of the galaxy ride really really fast
It drops you at roughly 30-40 miles an hour. It’s more of a pull, because it’s faster than gravity.
@@SoCalDisneyDad how lucky would I be if they play burning love by Elvis on that ride
@@Elvisfan2026 There’s a 16.66% chance to get that song, as there are 6 songs and one is chosen at random.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank u
Wonder can you ride 80 percent of the rides in 2 parks ?? Hmm I challenge you 😅
Nope. Nope, nope. 😂
I could barely get 90% in a single park when we did Disneyland.
No way we can ride 40 rides in one day. 27 was the best we could accomplish and we pushed HARD. Harder than any normal person would be comfortable with.
You can hit all rides at DCA nearly 3 times in a single day with no issues
I wouldn’t go that far. 😅 But it’s definitely an easier go.
Yeah right. "No issues?" I sincerely doubt that and I guarantee you've never done it.
where's the hot dog video.
Coming Monday.
Booking a LL that you’re not intending to use is really selfish. I was enjoying this video until then. 👎
Not selfish. It’s strategy. Grizzly River Run was like a 10 minute wait standby and the lightning lanes were available immediately. Absolutely no one missed out on riding Grizzly River because I took a lightning lane. There were plenty to go around.
I would never do anything if I felt a family on their first ever visit would miss out because of something I did.
I always cut the line and pretend my mom is in the front.
