  • Ever on the lookout for some good park science. Today we're testing our strategy for the last 4 hours at DCA. 6pm to park closing at 10pm. The theory is that the park slowly gets less and less busy as the night progresses. How did that work out? I'll say I was kind of SHOCKED by what we walked into on this Wednesday evening.

    Personally I think the time it takes to park hop between Disneyland and DCA is minimal. Literally a frisbee throw away. Way better than WDW.

    I'm just glad they are back to running Incredicoaster during WOC again. Them shutting it down around 8 something at night for the night was upsetting. And in summer meant no night rides. So to me you have a win.

    Woah!!! You said you want to cram as much into DCA because you want to spend more time at Disneyland." Isn't that the goal?" No!!! I love DCA. I can easily spend a day at DCA if I do any shopping or eating. I can hang out for an hour in paradise garden and watch the band. I can enjoy a margarita by the Pixar pier. So great environment

    If i have one day for the parks, 8 am to 12 am, i start at disneyland and knock most of it out. And then around 4 I go to dca to eat, ride incredicoaster soarin guardians and maybe rsr if the line isnt too long, watch world of color, and then head bsck to disneyland for fireworks or fantasmic or night rides. Dca isbreally pretty in late afternoon/evening lighting. So much so that i will not walk into radiator springs from the san fransokyo entrance until golden hour.🎉

    Loved this video. I can’t tell you how many times I would go to the park after fireworks and could ride everything I wanted! I sure do miss all of those nights in the Hollywood Backlot doing MTP, that was a few years of great fun! This will be a test of your Disney Acronyms… DLR-DCA-HBL-MTP-HOC. Oh, and BTW… How nice is that Osmo 3?? Lol… I could tell by the shadow. I stared with the original Pocket Osmo and carried it with me everywhere on the road. No camera bags, no excess stuff. Keep in mind I started flying a full glide cam rig commercially with the vest and arm that took around 10 - 20 minutes to set up and balance. Then the Osmo which I could have up within about 5 minutes. Now with these It’s virtually instant! I’ve shot a lot of things with it and it still amazes me. At first it like the color grading was s little off then I remembered that it does that while I’m typing! I think Soarin’ seats 87 or 88 if I remember. I forgot the THRC with both theaters running but the per show number seems about right. I just did a quick calc and with a 4.5 minute show time and it’s Push in-Push out so that’s maybe another 5 minutes or so giving us 6 shows per hour (x2) so it should have a THRC of a little over 1000. I always loved the Little Mermaid attraction as it brought back my Arabian Coast team of Chris Crump and Larry Nikolai, what a great team! Thanks for another great video!!

    I got Blue Sky ideas for replacements at Disney California Adventure I know this is gonna be a controversial opinion but i think closing down Muppet Vision 3-D was a big mistake because now Disneyland has no Muppets attraction but 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 Zephyr 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 my 2nd other idea is Paradise Gardens attractions like Goofy's Sky School, Golden Zephyr, Jumpin Jellyfish, and Silly Symphony Swings will be demolished for a FreeGuy Land the Land will take place in FreeCity from the Film and the main ride will take rider on a adventure through FreeCity and the attraction will use the same Ride system technology from The Simpsons Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood and Florida but instead of Rollercoaster vehicles its the Car that Ryan Reynolds drives in the film the land will contain the Coffee shop and Bubble Gum ice cream stand as seen from the film and the land will sell the Blue Lightsaber and Captain America Shield seen from the film also ok now my 3rd idea is The Hyperion Theater and Stage 12 will be demolished for a ride based on Zootopia the ride will use the same ride system technology used in Despicable Me Minion Mayhem at Universal Studios Hollywood and Florida, my 4th idea is Stage 17 will be a Lucasfilm Restaurant and Mickey's philharmagic will stay but for a limited time Muppet Vision 3-D should come back during the 25th Anniversary for Disney California Adventure

      Hollywoodland needs some new life breathed into it before DCA turns 25.
      I mentioned in someone else’s video that San Fransokyo Square should have a Big Hero 6 attraction, even if it means closing down some restaurants.

    I have a question for you! Or anyone with an opinion. My family is coming for three days in late July. Normally I would do two days at Disney and one at California Adventure, but given the closures at Disney currently and Pixar fest, would it make more sense to do one day at Disneyland and two at California Adventure?

    • @FreshBakedDisney
      @FreshBakedDisney  3 месяца назад +7

      definitely not. even with the closures at Disneyland, there isn't near enough to do at DCA to warrant two full days.

  • @davidnevolo4402
    @davidnevolo4402 3 месяца назад

    I maintain that soarin needs a third screen. People probably disagree, its been there for so long and the line isnt that long usually, but if you build it, theyvwill come. People will absolutely wait to experience it more often if it hovered at 40 minutes or less. But frankly they need to reproduce soarin over california with new flyovers of downtown la and crispy national park scenes too.
    And monsters inc may be too expensive to rebuild rather than building a separate c/d ticket dark ride elsewhere from scratch, but monsters really should be next to toy story mania, clearing up the backlot for god knows what. Its just so funny how they make you walk through that backlot mess to reach that ride floating in space. Move turtle talk as well ans you can fit another new ride on the south side of hollywood blvd for either avengers or hollywoodland

      Also apparently they are finally going to start construction on that avengers e ticket very soon. A cast member posted that they were told the Dr strange show is closing because work is going to be done to it and behind it. I have no idea if it’s going to be the entrance queue though but it seems that way.
      It makes sense because the Dr strange show had already been unionized for a while. So while all the other shows were closed due to that, the Dr strange show didn’t have to. Had that been the case they would have closed it way earlier ago
