- We had a break in crowds and demand last month, but we saw a return of crowds with the Easter Holiday weekend. Still not as busy as it was during that peak period in early March, but plenty busy enough to make things interesting. All part of our complete tour of the park. We'll go to every land and every attraction and talk about the current STATE OF DISNEYLAND.

That was funny 😄There's Goofy, Cruella, it's Chip, "Hey Fresh Baked!" 👋😃 You're like a Disney Character to those who recognize you lol 😁
AllanNightingle I agree with you it's funny seeing how "fresh Baked is Reconized by the people like he is a Disney character.🤣🤣🤣
"If this was frogger, I'd be on my third life already." Classic. That is such a relatable statement. 🐸🐸🐸
The car horns, the horse shoe sounds on the ground clop clop clopping, scooter beeps, train, and kids getting excited are all my favorite sounds as I enter Disneyland!!
How come they don’t ask to take pictures with him?
They do. He just shuts off the camera.
The way the first 3 minutes of this video perfectly summarized the magic and happiness of Disneyland. Asides from the fresh baked yells, THIS is possible any day at Disneyland ❤
I’m liking the new format with the PARK scenery, set to music randomly throughout the video. Very nice. Thanks
Hmm I think that's what he has always done. I've been watching for many years.
@@neonxfirefly David does a lot of his videos in his garage so doing it in the park is so much better!
As you walk and talk, I love all the languages your mic picks up along the way!
If the pink tree in Galaxy’s edge is the same as the ones in the hub, then it is a Tabebuia tree. Also called a Trumpet tree. I love going to Disneyland in April. I love that everything is in bloom. Hubby and I go in April often to celebrate our anniversary. This is the first time we won’t be there for a major anniversary (we were there for 20, 25, 30, 35) but not this year for our 40th. Luckily we did go last year for our 39th because I almost died (heart attack) and didn’t think I’d make it to 40. But I’m still kicking. Maybe we will make it to Disneyland for our 45th and 50th. Hope so. For now I live vicariously through Fresh Baked. Thank you, David. ❤❤❤
Not sure about the weekdays, but Sunday is Dapper Day!
David, I agree, the train announcement sets the mood and starts a great day at Disneyland!
The train announcement is my ringtone ✨🫶🏼😊🚂
FRESHBAKED is DISNEYLAND!!
Intro music, David voice over, and sounds of the park!? Wonderful!!
Love Freshbaked, and love to get so many thumbs up on a comment! Really want to support David, he is solid GOLD! He is my Disneyland away from Disneyland!
6:47 Love the kid running from the family photo and mom chasing him - hilarious !!!
Haha I went back and looked that was hilarious. I saw the two older kids and that tiny one popped out of nowhere and took off!
Wait times are crazy today. 110 Matterhorn and I saw 70 for Jungle cruise. 85 Star Tours! The park is packed!
I saw small world at 55 minutes a few hours ago 😭
Oh wow that's worse than yesterday. I went home before the second parade.
I want to say a big THANK YOU for all your videos and especially for your rope drop tip on getting all the mountains in first thing! It made our spring break so great, even in the rain.
Great show! It’s looking good around the park! Thanks for the updates, Fresh Baked!!
I REALLY appreciate the date on this! Thanks!
Thank you for putting a smile on my face! Loved seeing you interact with the characters! You do so well! I never know what to say to them🤭
28:38 I'd love to see Disney do more generic Star Wars characters walking around. Have a Tusken, a Twi'lek, maybe an Ewok, and other races. Make it like a Star Wars faire and have them just walking around interacting with guests that want to and pretending to shop the market. I feel that'd be delightful! We can only hope Disney will think about and get casts to do it one day.
I think on 4/1 they should have random Star Trek characters strolling through STAR WARS: Galaxy’s Edge.
@@WindowtotheMagic honestly that would be hysterical 😅
Great video as always!!!
9:05 Great scenic shots!
Love you thank you FRESHBAKED
Best DL channel..Such fun videos to watch!
Ahh, just missed you! My family and I were there Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday before going back home. Thanks for all your videos to help prepare us for last week, though. It was a busy week! Fresh baked!
OMGOMGOMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!my i saw u outside of autopia recording that and my mom was in the video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i wanted to say hi but u were recording and i had a lighting lane that ended in 2 minutes but it was so awesome to see one of my favorite youtubers filming!
Back for some more Freshbaked, I'm sure while I'm rewatching this episode, another Freshbaked will drop....
😊❤ love your videos
The Phantom Menace is my jam. I was a Star Wars obsessed sixth grader when I saw it in theaters. When I watch it now it puts me right back in that theater.
24:35 StarWars Scenic Shots, really good stuff.
Sometimes, I am sad that I did not renew my Magic Key for this year(2024) but then I watch Fresh Baked and I am glad that I did not. This place looks uncomfortably packed!
It's always packed this time of year. It's Spring Break for schools all over the state plus some neighboring states.
Omg that looks like a dream compared to our experience yesterday and even worse today! It was absolutely nuts. We even got genie + but that didn't really help either because the LLs were all too far out to matter 🤦🏻♀️ I have never experienced this level of crowds personally. I learned a lot though!!
I would love a genie plus video. I haven't been to the parks since 2018 so I've never experienced it, but I want to plan a trip soon and want to go informed
Your jokes in Adventureland were on point. Especially Frogger.
This looks like when I was there 3/26 but on 3/24 it was amazingly quiet for some reason.
The kid that just darts off at 6:46 haha
Your camera work is great 👍
Really need to start having the “vibe” drinking game for every time he say “vibe” during the his videos. Also needs Freshbake Vibe t-shirts.
43:35 Scenic LOVE.
Spring Break right now in Utah… sooooo many friends there this week
We were there on 4/2 and 4/4. Crazy busy but lots of fun! On Thursday we left at 5 went back to our Air BnB to rest and went back to the park at 8. HUGE difference in crowds! Walked right onto Pirates, 20 minute stand by at Thunder Mountain, and a 20 or so minute wait at Rise of the Resistance. We had waited for 90 min+ at Rise in the afternoon. Glad we went back in the evening since we needed to recuperate.
The return times for Genie+ change by the minute. When I was in the park both for Halloween and Valentine’s day, if I WANTED a genie time and it showed a crazy high return time I would keep refreshing and within 5 min there would be multiple other offers.
Genie+ is necessary if you go less than once every couple of months. There's no more off season. Disneyland's operators failed to grow the parks' capacities enough to keep up with demand.
We were visiting DL and DCA that week (from MN) for spring break and Friday was the only day we purchased Genie+. I’m sad I was at DL Friday but didn’t get to say hi.
Always love the State of reports …
Cherry blossom trees. 🌸
"The trees with pink blossoms near the "Partners" statue at Disneyland park are Tabebuia trees." Feb 21, 2014
Yes please go for a canoe ride! I've never been on them in the handful of times I've been to the park. It would be so cool to see it on Tours Departing Daily!
Canyons!! anything on the River is good. Need to bring back KeilBoats, and ad another Transportation to keep river full of guess.
Disneyland more more 'peoplemover' type of attractions all over the park. Pirates is perfect, need more like that high volume expieirance.
From my time as a Manager at Universal I would say that there is probably groups scheduled for the 1st week of April. It was random when we would get groups that had worked out group rates through corp. ticket sales office. That would be my guess David. Watch to see if you find large groups that are obviously together instead of families. 😊
Until the work is completed it’s New Orleans Sliver and Critter Cubicle.
😂
The parks were at 95% capacity yesterday. Bought Genie+ and weren't able to take advantage of most of the rides on the list because the return times were for much later in the day and you can only hold one ride reservation at a time. Felt so ripped off.
You can hold more than one reservation at a time…. You just can’t book sooner than two hours in between. Watch tutorials on how to utilize it best
I don’t think they will remove LL on Pirates even when Tiana and Mansion reopen. They know more rides with LL means more people will purchase it.
Don’t forget that Toontown shuts down for fireworks. Usually re-open a at 10pm. With spring break time all over the place (from week before Easter to a week or two after Easter). It is hard to judge the crowd levels/ wait times for attractions. Now, come May 1st--} that area around New Orleans will be ugly crowded. Most people don’t pay attention to what is shut down until they get into the park. All the attractions are going to be looooong waits, a lot of people spending more time at sit down restaurants & also more push over to DCA. Bring your patience for a while when visiting DL. It’s always amazing how long the wait is for the Fantasyland attractions. At least one hour for one minute at best experience.
The tree in Batuu could be an eastern Redbud tree native to Oklahoma. They are everywhere here and beautiful.
Monday was gnarly
We were at Disneyland on the 2nd and 4th, DCA on the 3rd, and both parks were PACKED!
Love the Tea Party music 🥰
I live in Utah and spring break starts on Monday 4/1/24 until Friday 4/6/24. We all love to come to Disneyland for spring break! I would guess that lots of folks that are there are from Utah.
Another Utahn here who had the same thought! Plus many of the people and families I know here love DCA so it could be a contributing factor.
Not sure if it had any affect, but 4/1 was a State holiday (Ceasar Chavez observed), no idea about the rest of the week.
Yeah I had the day off work.
Spring break in Utah is this week. And lots of my clients are starting at Disneyland. That info might help.
Nailed it
The rain on saturday was perfection.
The reason there are reservations still available at Disneyland for those days and this is just a guess is: You pay for a full day then get kicked out early because of the Star Wars Celebration. I cancelled my late April plans this year because two of the days I was going to be at Disneyland, I would have had to leave early. No thank you. I pay full price for a whole day, I want to spend 16 hours in the park.
Very much enjoy your content. Have been subscribed for a while now. Quick question though if I may? Starting at around 23:30, I am interested in the name, if any, of the music you're using first off underneath your dialogue, and then later at 24:36 when it comes to the fore after you're finished speaking. I very much like it and would appreciate being able to source it. I tried using Shazam and SoundHound but neither app were able to identify it. Thanks much. :) Looking forward to further construction updates, and general Disneyland visits. Was last down there, being from Vancouver, back in August of 2006 when I took my youngest down for the 50th Anniversary (we had an absolute blast as she'd never been before. Lots of great lifetime memories made.) and would like to get down there again at some point before I get too much older. :D
This week rides have been breaking down every 5 minutes. Genie + available rides are all gone by 6pm. So disappointing!!!
Always look forward to the State of reports
We need to keep criticizing the long queues because of lightning lane.
The pirates queue should NOT extend past the bridge ever. I have been on very busy days and pirates did not extend nearly as far as it does now. Backups are horrible and make the park look bad
I was in DCA this day! Dang, was hoping for a Fresh Baked sighting.... were you there during the pouring rain on Saturday?
1:01:48 I was just on my way to change the wait time lol
I flew home, to the southwest, on Good Friday. I was able to switch seats on a flight from Seattle with no problems or up charge. The airport was light on crowds. It feels like the economy is slower when it comes to disposable income.
Because people have passes that don’t include week ends so naturally the week days will fill up first.
I was just there, but for Wondercon. >.< I had hoped to see ya at the event! Oh well.
Hey Fresh Baked!!
I love that gateway to Batuu music, every time I hear it I wish Disney would just release it.
The pinch points happen in Fantasyland because of the strollers. Disney needs a stroller valet housing for Fantasyland A and B off Stage. As well as New Orleans Square. That would help so much.
David if you think the reservation calendar looks weird you should see the Cast calendar.
David, you mentioned a couple videos ago that the tiki room is closing for referb. When is that happening?
48:54 tOOWNTOON.... Some pople love toown town.
Not me, never got the vide of toowntoownn...
22:40 RABBIT! How often do you see Rabbit? I remember it always being Pooh, Eeyore (my personal fav), or Tigger. I don't remember seeing Rabbit
Could the reservation conundrum be because DCA has a smaller capacity and so it filled up quicker than the Disneyland reservation capacity?
Do you have an acoustic video of just autopia ambience? Thats something I would loop.
Dave, it’s spring break all over the state. Schools alternate weeks so it’s not a cluster at vacation destinations.
Just jumped on the disneyland app as i am watching and most lightning lanes are sold out for both parks at 6:30pm! Hope its not like this for our trip in May(3rd week)
We had reservations for Easter Sunday. Canceled them because forecast of thunderstorms. We have young children. Maybe that's why weekend was open.
Is it like cheer week or something with demonstrations etc this week?
Heyooo fresh BAKED!
No better sound than that David 👊🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Since Star Wars season starts Friday are the non Star Wars things gonna be slightly less packed? Planned for this week without realizing it was the start of a season at Disneyland 😢
Love your State of Disney reports. One time could you include Tom Sawyer Island in one of your videos.
It's the same as it's always been
Did they ever finish working on the restrooms in Adventureland?
If yes is a plain wood wall all they could come up with after they demolished rock work with water feature?
No.
Are you doing the opening night of DAD - Starwars?
Do you have a video that breaks down your lightening lane/standby lines dos and don’ts/tips and tricks?
If he doesnt, google sounds of Disneyland! They have all attractions and areas music
Easter Sunday lines were not bad. Not as bad as the Sunday before. Was even able to get a last minute Blue Bayou reservation. Food was disappointing btw...
Have fun at Disneyland freshed baked
My thought is people waited until their spring break to do Food & Wine, seems reasonable
Even USH hit capacity on Monday.
I just got back from Japan. Tokyo Disney crowds are no joke 😅 I’ll never complain again at Disneyland
Dapper Day weekend...
The last two years the first Monday of April and the rest of the week have been super busy. We thought it was due to spring break in California but not sure?
irony watched this just now and magic key add came up.😂
Food & wine end Friday DCA
If I was booking a vacation right now, I would probably book DCA over Disneyland because of all the ride closures at Disneyland. There is a lot for me to do at DCA since I am not a local. A lot of DCA would be new to me.
Be kind to one another, Fresh Baked!
Utah Spring Breakers… we love DCA that much!
