  • Now that I live in San Diego, I'm a 'SoCal local' for Disneyland! I got one of the 3 Day SoCal Resident tickets (which lets you go any 3 individual days between now and June 2), and I wanted to visit the parks one more time before the holiday season ended. I wanted to avoid having to drive up to Anaheim, so I decided to take the Amtrak Pacific Surfliner! I did a coach ticket round trip from Solana Beach to Anaheim, and it was a fantastic experience! I'll definitely be taking the Pacific Surfliner up to Disneyland again!

    As someone with a fear of cars and driving, I appreciate you highlighting a less common but effective alternative travel method to Disneyland! I absolutely refuse to buy Genie+, so it's cool to see another person using simple strategizing to get on all the rides they wanna ride in a day lol I'm so glad that you had a fun solo trip, and I hope that someday I'll pluck up the courage to go by myself too! Thank you for another great video, Emily! :)

      I feel like the train is the only way I'll want to go, now! It's always great to share Disneyland with friends and family, but I still had a blast going solo!

    Love your style of vlogging! This was so helpful! Thank you. We’re visiting family from out of town & going to do this on Sunday. Seeing it on your video eased my anxiety so I know what the stations look like. I appreciate it!

    Hi Emily. What a fantastic solo trip. The views from the train were spectacular. Indiana Jones is my #1 favorite ride at Disneyland, so I loved that you rode it first and agree that it is one of the best rides 😊. It is my dream to one day be able to take a trip to Disneyland and see the park at Christmas time in person. I hope to be able to do that in the next few years. Thanks for bringing us with you to spend a great day at the parks. ~Ali 🎀🏰💖

    Thanks for this. I’m going to do almost the same journey, except from the opposite direction: downtown Los Angeles. I hope the bus is there when the train pulls into the station. If not, uber it is!

    This is exactly what I used to do when I had a Magic Key last year, solo Amtrak trips from San Diego. Only difference was I got on at Old Town. I also could never find that express bus lol. I definitely got nostalgic feelings watching this vlog. Galactic Grill is so underrated IMO. I loved seeing your experience.

    • @MagicallyEmily
      @MagicallyEmily  10 месяцев назад

      I'll definitely be taking the train again my other trips up! (It seems like that express bus is only scheduled weekdays from 6-8 am?)

    Hi Emily! I love the idea of taking the train to Disneyland - what amazing views and a relaxing journey! I can't wait to go to Disneyland again and check out the new Toon Town. Looks like you had a really great time. There is nothing quite like Disney Parks with their Christmas decorations. ❤

    I really enjoyed this video, thank you for bringing us along! I live in the UK and at the moment the US parks are way out of my budget, so this was fun to live vicariously through you. And the train views are incredible! I adore Disneyland Paris but the US parks look like a whole other ballgame!

    I wish I lived in cali, and not 3000 miles away.. We went in the first week of December and I agree Its a Small World is so amazing all lit up in Christmas lights.
    I'm surprised you didn't do any pin trading, there was quite a few boards with trivia and some nice pins when we went. I actually got a Galaxy's Edge Opening Day Cast Member only pin, and that wasn't even for trivia.

    • @MagicallyEmily
      @MagicallyEmily  10 месяцев назад

    Nice vlog. The ARTIC station brings back fond memories. I took Amtrak from the north for my 2016 and 2023 Disneyland trips. Also my 2015 VidCon trip.
    You'll find the shuttle eventually. Last time I watched a couple who seemed to know what they were doing. They went to a certain bus stop at ARTIC, and within 5 minutes the shuttle pulled up.

    • @MagicallyEmily
      @MagicallyEmily  10 месяцев назад +1

      The ART Express bus from ARTIC only seems to have a scheduled route super early weekday mornings, so I'm guessing you have to request an 'On Demand' ride other times? (I'll eventually figure it out when I'm not in a rope drop rush!)
