  • We've done a fair amount of research on how to best take advantage of rope drop and the last two hours at Disneyland. But what about mid day? Are there any breaks? Possibly! During the parade. We'll conduct a little queue science and plan out a stretch of time around. the parade to see what effect, if any, the parade has on queues before, during and after.

    Now you're getting more of a full picture of what the rest of us experience during those mid-day hours. It's easy to forget or lose touch when you are there often and only do certain things at certain parts of the day. I'd love to see more videos of you trying different approaches midday! I think you'll see how 1-2 rides can really throw a wrench in the system. It's really hard to find that perfect approach. And it will be so much different when HM and Tianas are open again

    • @geofferypmeyers
      @geofferypmeyers 2 месяца назад +1

    Love this coverage. We don’t go on big rides, and try to avoid parades. We take the opposite route and do Star Tours, BLAB, Ariel, RR, M&MRR, & Small World, then go over to CaAdv for the afternoon. Come back to Disneyland right before 2nd parade starts and go on RotR, Pirates, Indy, and Jungle.

    Similar to the four mountain challenge, how about a boat challenge; ride every Disneyland boat related attraction in four hours or less! Jungle Cruise, Pirates of the Caribbean, Davey Crockett Canoes, Tom Sawyer Rafts, The Columbia, The Mark Twain, Finding Nemo, Tiana’a Adventure, and Small World. Can it be done? There are a few months to assess the challenge and plan your strategy.

    I think part of the reason Matterhorn didn't see much of a decrease was partly due to the fact that majority of parade guests have kids who may not have been able to ride Matterhorn anyways.

First city to go to a 4 day working week in U.S. I wonder how long it will take before maintainance bring's back the firefly's at the start of pirates and repair the effect's not working on Big Thunder? Apart from that what a great day to be at Disneyland. Cheers, Chris Perry.

    David have you considered collaborating with other Disney RUclipsrs to do some of this recon with you on the same day same time just different strategies? This would allow for seeing the differences on the day and you could advertise your channel on there channels as well helping them out. I know this could be too many chefs in the bakery but you could bake some new muffins in the process. Thanks for the mid day strategy guide these will be useful.

  • @geofferypmeyers

    It feels like the parade NEVER makes a difference in wait times!! Since it’s peak crowd time anyway, I think it’s just absorbing the extra, thus the lines for rides remain basically the same

    Midday I'm at my hotel snacking and taking a nap and come back for the 6ish parade refreshed and ready for park close. I'm a rope dropper. By midday it's so busy and the children are as tired as me but they're tantrums and screaming makes me overstimulated and want to scream as well, so I need a midday break. Oh and BTW when I say the children I mean everyone else's children. I'm a Disney Adult.

    I know this is a controversial opinion but I think closing down Muppet Vision 3-D was a big mistake because Disneyland has no Muppets attraction and Even though Muppet Vision 3-D is gone I think they should retheme the Paradise Gardens area with The Muppets The Little Mermaid attraction will stay because that is a great ride and I love it but the other attractions near it would close the Golden Zeppelins will be rethemed to Pigs in Space from The Muppet Show, Jumpin Jellyfish will be Themed to Hot airballoons themed to Kermit the Frog taken from The Great Muppet Caper, Goofy's Sky School will be Rethemed to The Great Gonzo's StuntMadness and instead of a Airplanes guests will ride on the Plunger car from the Muppet Movie and the attraction takes place in The Great Gonzo's StuntShow Madness and for his 3rd act he invited you the guests on his Plunger Car the beginning of the ride you see Gonzo in his cannon being launched in the sky and then your car jumps though a Fire hoop (Which is not a fire Hoop it's just a hoop painted orange but it glows in the Dark at Night), a circular Saw, and at the end you see Gonzo on his Motorcycle in a slingshow and at the end he crashing himself and the motorcycle on the Stunt show Building and you see his cutout and his Motorcycle on the Building which is a tribute Muppet Vision 3-D and then at the end you unload from the vehicle and exit safety. The pizza place near by will be rethemed to PizzaRizzo from Disney World, and lastly The Silly Symphony Swings will be rethemed to the Electric Mayhem and will be titled The Eletric Mayhem: RockSwings

      also the teacups should be replaced by a system like aquatopia at disneysea where the vehicles still go every which way but it can be consistantly loaded. not sure how you'd manage the cups coming into the stations and the roatation.

    Perfect timing!!! My friends kids FINALLY agreed to a trip! They are 15 and 16 and she finally said whatever if they don’t want to go let’s you and I go. So we picked dates and she said coming or staying home, you’re old enough now….surprise surprise FOMO kicked in 😅 her son is excited. Daughter and teen angst fomo against her will but she’s in too
    So of course we want to provide the best day ever because we may never have another opportunity to impress them with Disney.
    They don’t like shows but I’m going to try to get them interested in the parade and firework show. That’s a can’t miss if we can help it. Plop them down to rest and wait with delicious food and I have half a chance.
    I have a feeling we will have a convert with Indiana Jones. They don’t like roller coasters except mom likes big thunder. Any other ideas out there about what may convert her ? Indians Jones is my best guess at the moment. For Disneyland.
    Rad springs and maybe soaring for DCA
    I will very much appreciate any other thoughts on the matter 😃

    I would think that the closer you are to the parade route, the busier the rides would be due to people saving spots and while other in their group try to squeeze in a ride and make it back for the parade. I'm wondering would the out skirts of the park like GE be less busy during a parade?
