I would love a Downtown Disney merch video!
Me too
Thanks for the tour of Downtown Disney! We are headed to Disneyland in about a month and I was wondering what was in Downtown Disney. Helpful video!
Thank you for this video! It’s great- very informative! We will be there in a few weeks but it has been a long time since we were there so we appreciate your tour and insight! ❤❤
My spouse and I will be at Disneyland in a few days. Last time I was in Disneyland was when I was stationed in San Diego in 1993. I used to drive up once a year to visit the park. I have been watching your videos for all the info about places to eat, all about the rides, snacks, strategies, and so on. Love your channel.
The large Mickey is the big version of what D23 members got in 2023 for being gold members. They have something special every year.
Those are orchid flowers and are 100% edible. Used the exact same flower to garnish a scallop dish this past weekend
I had a whirlwind first visit to Disneyland this year, and didn't have time for Downtown Disney, so I appreciate this! Planning for the future 😊
Thank you for this video. My hubby and I are coming in October for the 1st time ever. I looked at the map through the app. It helped, this was way more helpful. Anyone have any suggestions of must do's. We're celebrating our 10 year wedding anniversary.
Thank you for the video. I have not been to Downtown Disney in a long time. Everything looks so different. I have to go again soon.
So very helpful. I’m headed to DL Tuesday and staying at DL Hotel. Your information is always the best!!!, ❤
Such a great video idea!!!
I want to say that's a hibiscus flower, I may not be calling it the right name. But you can eat them, when I tried it wasn't quite up to my pallet, maybe I'll give it a try again down the road. I visited all the hotels back when I was on a scavenger hunt for all the Disney 100 medallions. At the end of the day I was walking around with a clanking bag of coins and felt a little like a pirate. I wasn't quite sure if I was supposed to be at the hotels if I wasn't a guest, but no one bothered me and I got to see more of the places I'd never been before. Great video!
Oh yeah, also wanted to add I ate at Earl of Sandwich Tavern and had their prime rib. Had a lovely conversation with the bartender there and had the most amazing white chocolate bread pudding. All around great experience. I'm going back in September I wonder if the same people will be there.
Thank you! And yes! You can walk around the hotels no troubles. Just can’t get into peoples rooms of course.
You have a great Disney Tour voice!
Great video! We just booked 5 nights at the Westin in November and plan to route through downtown Disney to get to the main gate!
I would totally love a downtown disney merch video and would especially like to see the hotel merch
I’ll put it on my list!
We're going in February and your videos are so helpful!
Honey Lavender is the best! Salt & Straw originated from Portland, OR, just near my home town and always Hyatt long line
This was very helpful. We have three mornings with Disneyland reservations and we’re trying to get a sense of how best to grab a coffee and head over to the monorail for rope drop via the Monorail one of the mornings. It looks like entering from harbor boulevard we go through the same bag check as for Disneyland or dCA? Thank you!
Correct, yes. However, taking the monorail is not the most efficient way into the park. I mean, if that's what you want to do from a relaxing morning perspective, I won't discourage you. But it'd be easier to go through the main entrance.
There's also a Starbucks inside both parks that's accessible before rope drop. So you can head in, grab your coffee and chill out at a table outside the Jolly Holiday to wait for rope drop if you're wanting to avoid the crowds, but get a coffee and people watch.
Aloha, if a flower is served on a food item it is edible. (ie parsley) But It's just basically a garnish and doesn't really taste that good.
This will be a great video. Thanks ❤😊
I have 3 stores I like. The Home store and Curl surf. And of course, World of Disney. I will definitely be walking through resorts. I came so close to booking the Disneyland Hotel. But due to price and I really wanted to stay at Candy Cane Inn.
Is there a restaurant in downtown where you can see the fireworks?
Great video, very helpful
Hi, great video 👍🏻 quick question where do you park your car? How much is parking... Thank you
@@JulioTheBuilder Mickey and Friends Parking Structure or Toy Story Lot if you’re spending the whole day at the park.
$35/day I think is the current price without any type of magic key discount.
Hello! We have booked a last minute trip to Disneyland on Oct 17, and 18th and I'm trying to reserve table service for dinner and of course it is limited. I'm trying to decide between Carnation Cafe, River Belle Terrace and some Downtown Disney options ( Tortilla Joe's, Storyteller's, and Jazz Kitchen). If we decide to eat in Downtown disney coming from the park how do we get there? Do you have to go back thru security if we want to go back into the park? Would you just recommend finding an express location or trying standby or waitlist? We will have a 2.5yo and 11mos old so I'm assuming their meals would be free at Storytellers?
Sorry for all the questions! And thank you for your help and videos. They have been very helpful!
Aloha, If I were to stay at one of the Disney properties, and the Monorail is down, how would I get to and from the parks other than walking? Is there a trolly or something? I know that the monorail shuts down at around 8:30 pm, (for fireworks I assume) but does it reopen after and does it stay open for late closers?(you know, the people that put the park to bed.)
I’m not sure how late the monorail is open, but from what I gathered it’s open till midnight. It reopens 20-30 minutes after fireworks conclude. And no, there’s no other way to get back to the hotel except walking.
You should do a jazz kitchen focused video soon!
We keep meaning to eat at more Downtown Disney restaurants as opposed to in the park.
Hoping you'll be about again on the 30th october as we will be visitng from the uk and we watch your videos and be nice to meet you
It's too far away to tell at this point, but if you do see me, please do say hi! Always happy to meet folks.
We are planning to go on Monday of next week so this video was perfect timing! Question - can we still pick up park maps right outside the gates for both parks? We haven't been to the parks in over 8 years so it would be nice to see how they are different to help plan for next summer - I love maps just like your kids!
I don’t believe so. But you might be able to if you go to the ticket booths.
The ticket scanner cast members at the park entrances might also have some.
Hows the parking? Is there a fee?
Really enjoy these videos but sooooo many ad’s, not good
Quick question? This may not be relatable to today's video but if you rent a scooter at Disneyland can you park hop to DCA with the same scooter? I'm going to be going in October with my mama and she has limited walking abilities. Thanks in advance ❤
I would assume so. I think you just can't exit through security with it. But so long as you stay within the safe zone (that includes Downtown Disney), you should be fine. I can't say this with 100% certainty though.
@SoCalDisneyDad thank you I will definitely see where I can check on this.
Yes. Edible flower. I have ate one before to be funny. It’s not tasty. Lol!
Hi so socal how can I access the Disney California hotel through the Disneyland park ?
None of the hotels connect to Disneyland. You have to go in either through the Monorail in Downtown Disney or the front gate.
The GCH only has a special entrance into DCA. Same with Pixar Place.
Disneyland hotel has entrances to neither park.
thank you and if Im not mistaken we can walk out in come back into the parks with no issue ?@@SoCalDisneyDad
@@Msglamorous215 Yes, both parks have all day in and out privileges.
Orchids are edible, I just can’t eat them though
I’m going to Disneyland soon
Yeah same with my family on my early birthday present trip
blacktap looks amazing, went and looked at their website. do they need reservations? loving your videos! getting so many ideas and tips for end of September! video suggestion if i may ask please, a walk to the local shopping centre from the harbour hotels. is walmart or target best for disney items, what is the cheapest grocery store for water, park snacks and hotel picnics (dinner in not out and about ie lunch meat, cubed cheese, carrots and fruit), do they have a cheap shop (dollar tree) to get the cheap USA pens to take home for work (we supply our own pens so tradition to bring back pens when on holiday) and if you need a new suitcase target or walmart (all those pens 🤣🤣) then uber back with your purchases. so a walkabout like that would be fantastic! many thanks 🙂🙂
No reservations. It’s basically kind of a fast food restaurant. They do serve your food, but you won’t get continual service and you order at the register at the front of the restaurant before finding your own seat.
brilliant thank you 🙂
On June 27, 2022; Me And My Asian Soulmate (Maya-Minnie-Chu) Got Married Inside The World Of Disney Store That’s Located In The Downtown Disney District; She Went To The Disneyland Resort All The Time Growing Up.
You should down street is ridemakerz
O didn’t see the rainforest… and the department 56 store… =(
Rainforest has been gone for awhile. And the Department 56 doesn’t even sound familiar to me. I’m not super observant with stores, but it’s possible that’s been gone a long time too.
@@SoCalDisneyDad oh… thanks … the departament 56 sales Disney villages and jim store statues… i visited in disneyland Many years ago… i love it see the differents villages in there… there my aunt buy a summer santa clause too… ( sorry for my english.. )…
Great video as usual 🤗 I was hoping you could tell me if they sell Magic Bands at World of Disney? We will be there in a few weeks, but unfortunately Magic Bands don't ship to Canada from thr online store.
Thanks! Much love from Canada! 🍁
Yes! They have a fairly large wall of MagicBand+ options.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you so much!!
Where would be the best place to propose at Disneyland if I’m looking for a more secluded place?
Hmmm. 🤔 Disneyland Hotel area is beautiful. Gorgeous. And there’s a bridge in the middle of the hotel overlooking the pool. Granted you’d have a bit of an audience there. You’re likely to have an audience anywhere. You could do it just before the bridge where it’s still gorgeous but not in view of the pool goers.
At Disneyland itself, you might go over to Tom Sawyer island. There’s some nice lookout points from over there.
Almost everyone proposes in front of the castle. But then you have MAJOR audience.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Yeah I know the options are limited there when it comes to a more secluded spot. Definitely don’t want to do in front of the castle since everyone will be there haha. Would DCA be better? Also thank you so much for all you continued help and info!!
@@jeremyshattell1208 Possibly. If you’re familiar with the park, where everyone stands for World of Color (big promenade next to Little Mermaid) has an excellent view of the Fun Wheel (DCA’s icon) and that area is almost always empty.
I say “almost” because if there’s a food festival going on it’s busier.
Hi Traver and Amy! Thanks so much for a great video. Only a couple of weeks until our first trip there, so super helpful to get us informed.
I have a couple of questions if you have a moment 😊. Is the monorail closed for a while - do you know when it will be back in use? Also, we plan to eat at Black Tap , glad you can recommend! Do you know how busy it is likely to be on a Friday early evening - do they take reservations?
And finally, we are travelling from the uk so please excuse if this is a silly question 😉, when you purchase an item in a store in California, is tax added at the cash register or is the ticket price the final price?
Thanks again for your super informative videos, have a magical day 💫✨⭐️!
All fantastic questions. According to Disneyland’s events calendar, the Monorail is closed until September 1st. Black Tap does not take reservations. It’s a hybrid quick service/table service. You’ll wait in a line to order. Will order at the register. They will give you a number. Choose a table and place the placard on the table. They will bring out your food when it is ready.
Tax is NOT included in pricing. Anaheim adds a 7.75% tax or roughly 8c for every $1 spent. $10 is 77c and $100 would be $7.75.
Once again, thank you so much! You are really making my planning so much easier. I’m going to watch your universal videos now, - so helpful 😁.
Thank you 😊!
Tax is added at the cash register. Have you been to other Disney Parks, such as Disney World in Florida, or Disneyland Paris? Have fun at Disneyland !!!
@@SoCalDisneyDad Awesome! I'm visiting Downtown Disney next Saturday (Sept. 9). Might take the Monorail. :)
Hey 👋
Hello!
@@SoCalDisneyDad how are you
Napa Rose doesn’t have a dress code
They absolutely do. And it’s listed straight on their website for Napa Rose.
It’s not like suit and tie, but they do have a dress code. All the super fancy Disney restaurants do.
Dress Code
Dinner at Napa Rose is an elegant yet laid-back dining experience. Guests are requested to dress in a manner consistent with the restaurant’s wine country ambience.
Examples of appropriate dinner attire include dress pants, jeans in good condition, collared shirts, dress shorts, sweaters, blouses, dresses and lifestyle shoes. We kindly request no hats, swimwear, tank tops, cutoffs or distressed jeans.
4:19 I'm pretty sure that's a hibiscus! Which yes is totally edible, actually the amount of flowers that ARE edible is kinda surprising, even some roses are technically edible
Thank you!
