#1 The Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad!!! #2 The Mark Twain Riverboat #3 The Main Street Horse Cars & Vehicles #4 The Disneyland Monorail Are my favorites!!! ❤🚂🚃🚃🚃🚢❤
We rode a couple main street vehicles the other day. We don't usually, but they were empty and accepting passengers both times we happened across them. Did the horsedrawn trolley once and one of the motor cars the other time.
Great vid..as always…I would have to add Star Tours, just because I’ve loved it since the day it opened,. Yes I had flew down the week it opened and loved it.
Just went Saturday have not been there in three years to my seven-year-old and honestly Disney does the best great beautiful park I know it’s expensive, but it’s worth every penny just a good time and my son just smile and enjoy every moment of it was worth $400 for just me and him can’t complain. I hate it for so long because of the price. Honestly, my son smile was worth every penny and I had a good time also so worth it not talking about the movies, but the theme park in general is absolutely one of the best low key went on all the rides. Such a good time. I enjoyed it my son enjoyed it. Yes, it’s pricey, but when it comes to just perfection they still got it
Millennium Falcon Smuggler’s Run and Star Tours would be good honorable mentions. Also it will be interesting to see where Tiana’s Bayou Adventure ends up on the list next year, and if it even measures up to Splash Mountain.
We’ll have to wait and see I guess. Hopefully it’s good and a worthy replacement. I’m still confused how there’s a mountain in the bayou. I’ve been to Louisiana more than a few times. 🤔
Hi so I’m going too Disney land for Girl Scouts but I’m scared of rollar coasters and I don’t want too go on water rides or anything so if you could help me out what rides I should ride that would be amazing bc I would like some slow rides and others ones so if you could help that would be cool
This is the guide you’re looking for: Disneyland Rides 2024 Ultimate Guide | EVERYTHING You Need to Know th-cam.com/video/2r-ZullPAkw/w-d-xo.html That’ll highlight every ride so you can see if it’s for you or not. There are only a handful of roller coasters. Most of Disneyland is pretty friendly to all types of people. The ones to avoid are Matterhorn, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, Indiana Jones, and Chip and Dale’s Gadget Coaster. The rest of the rides should be agreeable to you.
My favorite Disneyland ride (not counting DCA rides) is Space Mountain! Probably bc I went on expecting it to be like the Space Mountain at WDW (which is ROUGH) and it was actually way better!
We took your advise on not going to Rise first during Golden Hour and it was well worth it! We started with Mickeys Runaway Railroad did about ten minutes there then headed to Rise and waited about 15!
We were able to do 7 out of the 11 mentioned here in the two days we've been able to go this week. Your rope drop recommendations were spot on! We have one more day tomorrow and hope to finish this list (other than haunted mansion). We hope to see you there!
I won’t be there tomorrow, but will be on Tuesday, the 13th. I’m glad to hear you’re having a good time and hope you can knock out the rest of the rides you need! Enjoy!
Great video! Japan also has a very similar Indiana Jones ride. It would be great if you could do a video on how to maximize your time if you only can spend one day between Disneyland and California Adventure with Genie Plus and rope drop
I love ranking videos of the parks! My list would be quite similar. Where would’ve you slotted in Splash Mountain before it closed? Have you ever thought about doing some WDW versus DL ride comparisons? Thanks for the great content!!
I’ve done a few a long time ago. Long before my videos were popular and they didn’t do well, so they are hidden now. But I could try to come up with a way to update them for the way I currently film things.
Hi Traver, do you have a video or section of a video where you outline how the park day reservation works? Is that something you can only do a certain number of days in advance or can we do that once we buy our tickets?
It is a certain number of days in advance. I’m not sure how many at this point for ticketed guests, but if your tickets are linked to your account, go to the reservation page and try to make some. If the dates are grayed out, you are too far away. I feel like the last time I heard they updated it, it was 120 days. But they might have made it 180? I’m not 100% positive. Here’s the reservation page: disneyland.disney.go.com/experience-updates/park-reservations/
Awesome list! Just a quick note, there is an Indiana Jones ride in Tokyo DisneySea! I actually loved their version more than California’s as the special effects are more immersive. Love Space Mountain too and looking forward to riding Hyperspace in May!
That’ll never happen, because that would mean Disneyland has stopped improving. Walt said Disneyland will never be completed. And so long as there are improvements to be made, rides to be added, areas to be modernized, then Disneyland will always have something closed to work on it. The closest you’ll get to that are during the peak seasons of the year, where Disneyland tries its best not to do standard maintenance. But that doesn’t include big projects like Tiana’s Bayou Adventure and the Haunted Mansion queue renovation.
It's hard to rank rides. Good job. Indiana will always be my # 1. Something about being in that front row, and you have the wheel. If it would only move. Rise is very close behind. Both rides make you feel like you're part of it. And i ljbe that.
For a lot of this I googled ride vs ride and read peoples opinions on what they preferred. I also took wait times into consideration as the more popular rides have longer lines. Not always, though, as some rides just have higher load capacities.
Next time you go to Walt Disney world, you should do a food guide on the 4 parks!! Im planning on going soon and I want to know what snacks and treats to eat
I’ve done two of them already. Last April/May. They weren’t well received, so I didn’t do the other two parks though I had them filmed. Here’s the playlist from that visit, even though the series was cut short: Walt Disney World 2023 th-cam.com/play/PL_0Qje8SjlSCufbcfXIHY-KLfj_by-oeH.html
Hi Traver. I've read that of the two tracks on the Matterhorn ride, the Fantasyland side is a little smoother. I've also read that the left side is the smoother one. So is that the left side as you're boarding the ride? My confusion is that it seems like when you're at the point of boarding, Fantasyland would be to your right! And at what point in the line do you get to make the choice between left and right? Thank you!
I do believe the right side is better. Yes. The Fantasyland side. The side to the right when facing the entrance sign. You don’t actually get to choose. There’s a cast member at the merge between standby and lightning lane that tells people which side to take and it’s solely based on which one is currently open enough to accept new guests. You could probably make a request of that cast member, but if there’s no space in the line you want to take you, they may force you to go where they are directing.
You said the best time to ride the Star Wars one is 9am. If we have a 10am reservation at Oga's Cantina what time would you plan to try to start the ride? I'm worried about not timing it right and missing the reservation.
Depends on the current wait time. I’ve seen it at 40 minutes and 60 minutes at 9 AM. You might want to aim for 8:45 to play it safe. You can check in 15 minutes early to Oga’s. You can also be 15 minutes late. But truthfully, that time of the morning is not necessarily super busy. You should be fine even if you’re a little late.
Sorry…any top ten Disneyland ride list without The Steam Trains in the list just disqualifies the whole list. It’s by far the coolest and 1st ride you see when entering Disneyland…travels the perimeter of the park…has 4 stops…is powered by engines that are well over 100 years old…and was the most beloved ride of Walt… Hearing that chug and whistle throughout the park is real magic.
If I don't care about the mountains, should I ropedrop RotR then? That's my number 1 I wanna do. Second would be Mickey's Runway, and then the classics on fantasyland and adventureland. I've been eating up all your videos cause I'm going for the first time ever this september for just one day.
I still wouldn’t recommend it for the very reason you saw here. It’s a 50/50 shot you’ll walk all the way over there and they’ll have a delayed opening. That delay could be 20 minutes or 3 hours. Even if it is open, you’ll spend 20 minutes going through the preshows alone. It’ll likely be 30-40 minutes before you get off. Plus the time it takes to walk there and you’re looking at 8:45 before you can do anything else at the earliest. Meanwhile, I’d have ridden three rides by then. You don’t necessarily need to do the mountains, but 8-9 is one of the best times to be riding the rides that don’t take a significant amount of time. Best time for Rise is either 9-10 AM or 7-8 PM.
Question about Matterhorn, I know the two sides (Fantasyland and Tomorrowland) are slightly different, can you choose which side you go on and if so how?
No, you can’t choose unfortunately. It’s all up to the cast member. Though you can request a side. I believe Fantasyland is the tamer side if I remember right.
I feel like I remember Albert Falls cascading down in a single wide stream instead of in three thin streams. Can anyone tell when and why this changed? I feel like it makes the "back side of water" joke less effective visually.
Was there? I don’t pay attention to the news all that much. We are about 30 minutes east of San Diego, and don’t usually get a lot of the weather the coast gets.
Rope drop is showing up to the park and being there right at park opening. They “drop” a rope out of the way right before. “Golden hour” is a term for the first 1-2 hours a park is open when the lines are at some of the shortest they will be the whole day.
Before the park opens at 8 AM there is a rope that prevents guests from entering the various lands of the park. Everyone is clustered in the Hub area. At 8 AM those ropes drop, and if we say we are rope dropping an attraction, it means we are going there just as soon as the rope drops. It’s a special type of experience because there is no line in the ride yet. And oftentimes you can walk right on the first attraction you choose.
Love to see your list - all awesome. I love millennium falcon but I know most don’t - we laugh so hard at our pilots. We crash hard every time. It’s a great ride when you have a party of 6.
Yeah, if you have 6 people who all know what they’re doing, that’s the best way to play. I rode single rider once and was with all adults. I thought we were going to do great. NOPE. Lady flying was NOWHERE near the train and Hondo kept saying “uh, hello, GET BEHIND THE TRAIN!” And she was just flying around in no man’s land. We did terrible. 🤣
@@SoCalDisneyDad My group projects in school taught me that low expectations are needed when everything depends on a random group of people. For this reason I rate it the absolute worst ride at Disney.
Any tips on how to help convince my 12 yr old daughter to go on Space Mountain? She is down to go in every other ride (other than Incredicoaster), but for some reason she is scared to go on Space Mountain. Since it's just her and I going, I won't be able to go on it myself. Of course I don't want to force her but hoping to talk her into it when we are there. Any advice?
Not really any advice. Aside from telling her you’ll be sitting next to her holding her hand and you promise nothing bad will happen. She’s perfectly safe. That’s all I told Benjamin to convince him to ride Incredicoaster. Now it’s his favorite ride. But he refused at first.
@@SoCalDisneyDadok will try that! In terms of intensity, how would you rank Space Mountain compared with Matterhorn Bobsleds and Big Thunder Mountain? She is game to go on those so maybe doing those first would help.
@@tramanaden Space Mountain is comparable to Big Thunder and much better than Matterhorn. Matterhorn is so rough and jarring. Space is honestly a really tame coaster, it’s just in the dark. They have to use gravity and fans to make you feel like you’re going fast, because if they didn’t have those things, it would seem like a really slow coaster.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Hey Traver, just got back from our Disney trip. After building up my daughter's confidence in Big Thunder Mountain numerous times on Day 1, convinced her to do Matterhorn on Day 2, and after showing her your responses here, she felt brave enough to attempt Space Mountain! She realized after that it wasn't so bad afterall! Thanks again for your help!
The left side of the Matterhorn is rough bumpy as hell it's a terrible ride. The right side is very smooth and better riding. So for the older folks I would highly recommend the right side so you don't snap your neck. Where thunder mountain railroad is used to be live donkey rides through the canyon. Which then became thunder mountain railroad.
We need your favorite ride list now! I’d love to hear which are your families faves too. And everyone’s fave snacks. And fave things to do that aren’t rides.
Thank you! I love it too. But I have noticed my videos get more/longer views without the long intro. I do occasionally use the shortened form when I forget to film a teaser intro.
I 100% agree. As I stated, this list of rides is based solely on the popular opinion and research. Peter Pan doesn’t even crack my Top 20 if I remember my rankings from last year.
*What’s your favorite ride at Disneyland?*
Definitely Big Thunder!! We were able to ride it 6x back to back before park closing back in December 😍
That's a tough one! But I have to say pirates.
So far Smugglers run with the disclaimer the ROTR has always been closed so I’ve never been on it lol
IJ!!!!…😝😍
Indiana Jones is and always will be my top ride 💗
Just got back from my first Disneyland trip in 20 years. Your channel was a huge help in prepping! Love vids like this!
Thank you! Which was your favorite ride?
@@SoCalDisneyDad RotR and Guardians. Space Mountain too!
Thanks for the background stories about the rides as well! The content was helpful.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you!
Nice list Traver! I appreciate the detail that goes into these videos and how you curate them.
Thank you!
Thoroughly enjoyed your vlog… great filming and narrative… Can barely wait for my next visit…
Thank you! Hope you have a magical trip!
#1 The Santa Fe & Disneyland Railroad!!!
#2 The Mark Twain Riverboat

I love your videos, keep it up!
Thank you!
Good list - honorable mention Winnie Pooh it’s relaxing good music
That’s a great one for when the park is crowded. Hardly has any line.
Just went Saturday have not been there in three years to my seven-year-old and honestly Disney does the best great beautiful park I know it’s expensive, but it’s worth every penny just a good time and my son just smile and enjoy every moment of it was worth $400 for just me and him can’t complain.

My favorite has to be space mountain!
It’s one of my favorites for sure.
Love your videos and all the info you provide! Thank you so much! You and your family are amazing! 👏🏼
i am so hooked on this channel i can't stop watching and I'm not even going to disney anytime soon

Great video, going in a couple of weeks so
very helpful - Thanks
good list.... Never fail to just hang out and enjoy the vibe and skip the rides! (not Pirates it is a must)
That's an option, too. We've done days where we don't ride anything and just enjoy the other things that Disneyland has to offer as well.
Agree, wish I lived local (Im in Temecula) and would to get to the park in 10 minutes. One-Day!!@@SoCalDisneyDad
We took your advise on not going to Rise first during Golden Hour and it was well worth it! We started with Mickeys Runaway Railroad did about ten minutes there then headed to Rise and waited about 15!

It’s 180 days. I just checked.
Thank you so much for replying, Traver! You're super awesome! Appreciate you and your helpful videos!@@SoCalDisneyDad
Thanks for the info. I thought the parks had early hotel entry every day.. I’ll have to keep that in mind next time I book a Disneyland hotel.
It switched to a set schedule in January.
Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday is Disneyland. The other 4 days are DCA.
nice video thanks
Thank you!
Awesome list! Just a quick note, there is an Indiana Jones ride in Tokyo DisneySea! I actually loved their version more than California’s as the special effects are more immersive. Love Space Mountain too and looking forward to riding Hyperspace in May!
I really hope one day that Disneyland/California Adventure can have all the rides actually functioning with no construction walls up.
That’ll never happen, because that would mean Disneyland has stopped improving. Walt said Disneyland will never be completed. And so long as there are improvements to be made, rides to be added, areas to be modernized, then Disneyland will always have something closed to work on it.

Alice in wonderland has always been my #1 favorites! My 2nd favorite was Jungle Cruise boat ride.

Sorry…any top ten Disneyland ride list without The Steam Trains in the list just disqualifies the whole list.
It’s by far the coolest and 1st ride you see when entering Disneyland…travels the perimeter of the park…has 4 stops…is powered by engines that are well over 100 years old…and was the most beloved ride of Walt…
Hearing that chug and whistle throughout the park is real magic.
Love the vlog and thank you for the great videos.

@@SoCalDisneyDad Thank you!
My top 3 rides are
1. Big Thunder Mountain
2. Space Mountain
3. Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway
I feel like I remember Albert Falls cascading down in a single wide stream instead of in three thin streams. Can anyone tell when and why this changed? I feel like it makes the "back side of water" joke less effective visually.
You guys ok in San Diego? I saw there was lots of flooding there this week.
Was there? I don’t pay attention to the news all that much. We are about 30 minutes east of San Diego, and don’t usually get a lot of the weather the coast gets.
What do the terms "rope drop" and "golden hour" mean?
Rope drop is showing up to the park and being there right at park opening. They “drop” a rope out of the way right before. “Golden hour” is a term for the first 1-2 hours a park is open when the lines are at some of the shortest they will be the whole day.
Do any of them have loop to loop ?
The only ride with an inversion at the Disneyland resort is over in Disney California Adventure and it's Incredicoaster.
Space mountain for life!
What does “rope dropping” mean?
Before the park opens at 8 AM there is a rope that prevents guests from entering the various lands of the park. Everyone is clustered in the Hub area.

Big Thunder with Pirates a close second ☺️
Peter Pan and Indiana Jones!
Excellent favorites!
There should be a love button.
The left side of the Matterhorn is rough bumpy as hell it's a terrible ride. The right side is very smooth and better riding. So for the older folks I would highly recommend the right side so you don't snap your neck. Where thunder mountain railroad is used to be live donkey rides through the canyon.

All good but what about Small World?
Are you a collector if you are what do you like to collect what do you collect You and Amy👍📲
Space mountain!
Isn’t Indiana Jones also at Tokyo Disneyland?
I got to go old-school with Peter Pan just for its sheer childlike amazement it’s still possesses 🧚♂️
Big Thunder tops all DL attractions!
Splash Mountain!!!!
Oh…..
We need your favorite ride list now! I’d love to hear which are your families faves too. And everyone’s fave snacks. And fave things to do that aren’t rides.

Was watching your older vlogs and like the intro 😬😬👏👏👏
Thank you! I love it too. But I have noticed my videos get more/longer views without the long intro.
I do occasionally use the shortened form when I forget to film a teaser intro.

Pirates!
I found this video a day too late, just got back from it
Rise of the Resistance and Runaway Railway 👍
Both fantastic rides!
Peter pans ride is not that good we wasted 1 hour of our time in the line for a short 5 minute ride
I 100% agree. As I stated, this list of rides is based solely on the popular opinion and research.
Peter Pan doesn’t even crack my Top 20 if I remember my rankings from last year.
There’s only one ride at Disneyland. Everything else is called an attraction. And that one ride is located in fantasy land
Witch one
@@Peachyboi3 mr. toad wild ride
I absolutely HATE M&M RR.. Theh absolutely maimed the classic characters. Goofy looks straight up scary. Shame on Disney for doing that to them.
I agree. The newer characters make Mickey borderline psychotic, rude, and angry all the time.
