Both my husband and I always include riding the Alice and Wonderland, Mr. Toad’s, and Star Tours as part of our Disneyland day along with the other great attractions on your list. Star Tours and Mr. Toad’s often have low wait times and the Alice ride you can either catch a low wait time during various times of a park day (like rope drop or night) or use a multi experience pass on if using Genie +. These rides hold so much nostalgia for us (we both grew up going to Disneyland often during our childhoods) and were all loved by our daughter for her first Disneyland trip. Star Tours has so many different scenarios and Mr Toad’s and Alice are unique only to Disneyland CA. Also we have to include Webslingers and Guardian of the Galaxy: Mission Breakout on the DCA side.
I love Star Tours, but it makes my wife sick, so I left it off. Alice is pretty great, I do admit, but my list was already huge as it is and Snow White edged out both Alice and Mr. Toad for me when it comes to Fantasyland.
Congratulations to SoCal Disney Dad. And yes, Traver, I actually pointed to the screen when you said the railroad is a must ride. It is a classic. Loved all your picks. Even the ones I can't ride.
My mother in law is afraid of heights. When we took her on, the only way she handled it was placing on foot on my father-in-law’s shoe and the other foot on my shoe (as we were on either side of her) and that helped her feel “on solid ground”. Otherwise, she wasn’t having it. So I like to mention the fear of heights for folks in similar situation.
The train used to be something I did not care for but its perfect to ride in the afternoon when your tried, you get some really nice views, see behind the scenes and even get to see Dinosaurs so its a must do for myself now.
I can chime in…Here’s my 1-2-3 punch in both DL/WDW…Pirates, Haunted Mansion/See characters or Haunted Mansion/Pirates/Pest the characters…Lol…I love all kid friendly stuff…I never do coaster’s except Flight of Hippogriff or 🚗 land…Soarin is my fav too…If I do Mansion, I immediately get excited 2 recline when we go backwards…Ariel is great too…If I need a good nap, I beeline 2 Small world even tho it’s torturous w the music, it’s nice and slow…If crowds r insane, I go 2 my 2nd nap ride aka Ppl mover…Lol!
If it was Disneyland park only it would be for me: Rise of the Resistance Space Mountain Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Indiana Jones Matterhorn Splash Mountain (sad that it closing in May) Star Tours Enchanted Tiki Room is not a ride but its a must for me Then watching fireworks and Fantasmic to wrap my Disney day 🤗🤗 My goal for my next trip to ride Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway railway honorable mentions Haunted Mansion and Pirates If it was DCA only then: Radiator Springs Racers Soarin Guardians of the galaxy mission breakout Incredicoaster Goofy’s Skyschool Mator’s Junkyard Jamboree Disney Animation (not a ride I know but love visiting there) Grizzly River Run And of course watch World of Color to wrap my Disney trip Goal next time I go to DCA is ride Spiderman ride
I really like Guardians. It’s a top favorite of mine and my oldest son, but Amy hates it with a passion. I can’t ever get her to ride it, and Benjamin doesn’t care for it much either, so I left it off the list.
I haven’t been to Disneyland since 2016, but grew up going almost every year. Going later this year and I am so excited for some of the classics (Indiana & Snow White) that have been updated!
I can definitely get behind the choices here. I will say for Radiator Springs Racers, you most definitely want that Lightning Lane, as the wait is almost NEVER under an hour. I'd also recommend the majority of the Fantasyland Dark Rides, as their lines can get short on good days. I've had days when I can walk-on the Fantasyland Dark Rides if I'm really lucky.
For sure! Most of the Fantasyland dark rides never go above 20 minute waits (with the exception of Peter Pan which is on my skip list for that very reason). Pinocchio, Mr. Toad, Snow White... they're all fantastic options. With RSR, my family hopped in line once when it said 45 minutes. It took us 75. That was not fun. Usually Disney is better with its estimates, but Lightning Lane is a HUGE priority with that attraction since it's an ILL instead of regular Genie+
@@torriegilmore226 That’s a decent time. Just before Disney starts to expect it’s Summer crowds. And since it’s after Memorial Day, I would assume all refurbs should be over so crossing fingers both those rides are open for you. Of course, Radiator is prone to breaking anyway, but hopefully it’ll be open.
Excellent plan! I'm going to be attempting the same things here soon in the next 3-4 weeks. I'm planning a day with Genie+ and a day without and I plan to make two separate videos of each seeing what we get done.
Since my son is grown now, there are a few you mentioned that we skip. I go more often to WDW since I live in Texas, but I'm looking forward to my Disneyland trip in December. It's been about 10 years since I visited.
I can see something like Ariel's being an attraction a teen or young adult might not enjoy as much as some of the thrills, but both Ariel's and small world are good for one thing: they are usually manageable waits during the middle of the day when everything else has long lines. So they're still worthy of consideration, but from your stand point I definitely can see them being a "if nothing else is available" sort of situation. I hope you have an absolutely magical trip and that you enjoy the planning phase as much as we do!
Agreed Pirates is the best and a classic. You can check the refurbishment calendar before you book your trip. We went to Disneyland Paris and just caught the last day of Indiana Jones looping roller coaster on the first day of our park hopper ticket.
What about Toy Story Midway Mania ?! It’s the best ! I also love the Explorer Canoes. Where else can you ride a ride and get your daily exercise as well
Well, alright then! Thank you for including the DLRR! 🚂 Benjamin and I seem to have the same taste in rides. How does he feel about Rise? I’ve never been on it because it looks too stressful 😅
You didn't include my favorite ride which opened with the park and I consider to be the most magical of all, namely Peter Pan's Flight! I believe it key to Disneyland's initial huge success!
@@PaulYoung-dy9yr That’s because it’s on my list of worst rides. 😅 I think people like it for nostalgia. And nostalgia alone. But I have no nostalgic allegiance to it. Because it’s really not a great ride. It’s got a long line that’s routinely under listed (more like 55-60 minutes instead of 35-40) and the ride lasts less than 2 minutes. I’d much rather ride nearly anything else. My opinion of course.
If you take advantage of single rider it wouldn’t take quite so long. You can bypass almost all of RSR’s line with single rider. Rise is still a problem. If you aren’t opposed to paying for ILL’s then you can use those for both Rise and Mickey and Minnie’s.
Hi, we are going to stay at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel this summer and I have two questions regarding the security. 1. I know there’s a separate security check point for DCA at the hotel. What is the best way to get to Disneyland Park, then? Is there another shorter security check point for people staying at the hotel? 2. Also, I’m thinking of using clear pouches for different items to pack my park bag. When you go thru the security, do you need to take out all the pouches from the bag? Btw, congratulations on 10k! 🎉 Your videos have been super helpful to organize our trip! Thank you tons in advance!
There is a security checkpoint at the exit to the GCH into Downtown Disney. It hardly ever has anyone at it. And once you are in DCA, if you hop from there to Disneyland, you’re fine because you’re already through security. But you won’t have to wait through the security with parking garage guests or anything. Downtown Disney is a secured zone and there are about half a dozen security points that most everyone else will use. Only GCH guests will use yours. They won’t ask you to remove things from pouches, they’ll just want to have a look in your bag and bottom of your stroller if you have one. They’ll also look inside zippered interior sections of bags, but if your pouches are clear, you’ll be perfectly fine.
To add to what Trevor said, you can turn right to get to Disneyland’s gates and proper entrance. If you are new to Disneyland, I recommend you do this for your first day and rope drop mornings. OR you could turn left and take a short walk to the Monorail station in Downtown Disney. It will take you straight into Disneyland park to the Tomorrowland Station. You will need your valid park ticket and reservation to ride this Momorail. The line is generally much shorter at the Monorail entrance than at the front gate 🚝. You’ll get views of Fantasyland and Tomorrowland during your ride 💙
@@tinkershell1856 aww thank you so much for your thorough explanation! We’ve been there 5 years ago and we didn’t have any detailed plan at that time and also stayed outside of Disneyland. This time, I wanted to be more prepared to enjoy better and you all are so nice and super helpful! Thanks again!!! 🤍
Nice list. From what I hear, Walt Disney came up with the idea for Mickey Mouse while on a train, so I guess it is kind of fitting trains feature prominently in Disneyland and the new Mickey Mouse attraction.
Thank you for this video! I did have a few questions about Rise of the Resistance - do the individual lighting lanes sell out frequently? Sometimes even before the park opens to those who have early entry? Does the lighting lane line miss any cool in-line things? We are going this October when it will probably be pretty crowded.
Yes, it does sell out. Probably not before the park even opens. If you tried to buy on right now (8 AM, park opening), there’s times available for 9:20 AM. BUT, I did try to buy one on Sunday, March 19th at around 9:30 AM and they were all gone already. So definitely purchase early. The lightning lane does skip most of the queue. They have some Resistance flight jackets and helmets hanging up, blasters, thermal detonators and some other stuff on display in the queue. But all the really cool stuff happens right after the meet up point where the two lines merge. October is a bit busier. It’s Halloween month which draws crowds. It’s still pretty hot (90s). And a lot of Fall Breaks take place during that time. I know Utah (where my wife grew up) has a major event in October called UEA. It stands for Utah Education Association, but everyone always calls it Utah Escapes to Anaheim. Even so, October is a great time to come and I’m sure you’ll have a blast.
We did Pirates second on our most recent rope drop this past Friday. It ended up being pretty low all day, but you never know sometimes, so I’m glad we rode it right away.
Thank you for this list! I only have been to Disneyland twice, but I think this list is very reasonable except that if you are either hate riding rollercoaster or a crazy rollercoaster lover, you probably can take the incredicoaster out of your list. In terms of the quality of a pure rollercoaster like incredicoaster, you can go the six flags magic mountain which they do have many more much better rollercoasters.
Loving these videos. Thank you. Just wondering what you do with your bags on these rides? In Australia we have to dump them beside the rides and can’t take them on. What happened here?
You speak to the cast member at the front of the ride line and tell them you need to do rider switch. They'll scan the ticket of the person sitting out and one other guest who can ride with the person sitting out. Then they get to go through the lightning lane when it's their turn. This is how it would look for a party of 4 where the youngest is too short to ride: Adult 1 and Child 1 will ride while Adult 2 and Child 2 sit out. The cast member will scan the tickets of Adult 2 and Child 1 to give them a rider switch pass when you first approach the line. At this point, Adult 1 and Child 1 proceed onto the ride, while Adult 2 and Child 2 go find somewhere to wait, be it riding another ride, getting some food, or just waiting on a park bench. When the first group is done riding, Adult 1 will sit out with Child 2 while Child 1 rides AGAIN with Adult 2. This way Adult 2 has some company while they ride. If you only have a party of 3, ie it's just two adults and a child, then both adults ride alone. If you have a party of 5 or more, only 1 person may ride again with the adult that sat out and you'll need to make the decision on who that is.
Hi Travor I love watching your videos you’re so comforting to watch and very informative I agree with your list, my top rides are pirates, haunted mansion and Mickey and Minnie!I’m so sad that haunted mansion is currently closed,we got to go on the new adventure land treehouse and I love it!! me and my boyfriend love to ride thunder mountain and jungle cruise at night!
I put that as a “should ride” on my skip list that everyone else says you should skip, but I think it’s worth at least one ride since they’ve redone it. Then folks can judge for themselves.
Do people still buy autograph books to carry around and get character signatures? I remember doing that the one time I went to Disney World in the 90s. But I never see people carrying them around in these recent videos.
Yes! I still see characters signing autograph books from time to time, though they are less frequent than they used to be. Most people just get photos now.

The end made me laugh 😂. Can’t wait to ride these rides!
Congratulations to SoCal Disney Dad.
And yes, Traver, I actually pointed to the screen when you said the railroad is a must ride. It is a classic. Loved all your picks. Even the ones I can't ride.
Had to put the railroad back in for everyone. 😂
I have a fear of heights, but I feel safe on Soaring. You have a seat belt and you can hold onto handles. The seat you sit on feels secure.
My mother in law is afraid of heights. When we took her on, the only way she handled it was placing on foot on my father-in-law’s shoe and the other foot on my shoe (as we were on either side of her) and that helped her feel “on solid ground”.

I don’t have a fear of heights but I feel uneasy whenever I’m on soarin’ I don’t know why.
Toy Story Midway Mania is another fun one. You get to play carnival games without really feeling like you’ve been gyped.
Both of your suggestions (this one and your other comment) are great too. Really, most of the rides at Disney are awesome.
The train used to be something I did not care for but its perfect to ride in the afternoon when your tried, you get some really nice views, see behind the scenes and even get to see Dinosaurs so its a must do for myself now.
I do enjoy the dinosaurs! The stretch from Tomorrowland to Main Street is my favorite. Followed by Frontierland to Toon Town.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Agreed. Its hard to beat Dinosaurs but the views from the Rivers of America are a close second.
Some theme parks have only one dark ride. We rate a park with three or more awesome. But to have 17 good dark rides amazing.
Disneyland is definitely one of a kind!
Nemo, Monorail, Tower of Terror ! ! !

I didn't. agree with your skip video ., but you 100% right on this one , thank you for putting the railroad back in !!!
I’m glad to hear that. I had to right my wrong. 😅
I didn’t realize just how much that ride was loved before that video.
If it was Disneyland park only it would be for me:
Rise of the Resistance
Space Mountain
Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
Indiana Jones
Matterhorn
Splash Mountain (sad that it closing in May)
Star Tours
Enchanted Tiki Room is not a ride but its a must for me
Then watching fireworks and Fantasmic to wrap my Disney day 🤗🤗
My goal for my next trip to ride Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway railway
honorable mentions Haunted Mansion and Pirates
If it was DCA only then:
Radiator Springs Racers
Soarin
Guardians of the galaxy mission breakout
Incredicoaster
Goofy’s Skyschool
Mator’s Junkyard Jamboree
Disney Animation (not a ride I know but love visiting there)
Grizzly River Run
And of course watch World of Color to wrap my Disney trip

California is classic. World is fine enough, but there’s some serious distortion issues that are only avoided if you’re in Row 2 of Flight B

I’m going to Disneyland in a couple days
No Guardians of the Galaxy!!! UNNACEPTABLE AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Me and my mom always go on pirates usually first thing if not the tiki room.
We did Pirates second on our most recent rope drop this past Friday. It ended up being pretty low all day, but you never know sometimes, so I’m glad we rode it right away.

I only have been to Disneyland twice, but I think this list is very reasonable except that if you are either hate riding rollercoaster or a crazy rollercoaster lover, you probably can take the incredicoaster out of your list. In terms of the quality of a pure rollercoaster like incredicoaster, you can go the six flags magic mountain which they do have many more much better rollercoasters.
That may be so, all the same, it’s a good ride. I generally don’t compare Disney to other theme parks.
If you get a chance to ride a train be it at Disneyland, Knotts or anywhere else, ride it.
We have a Vegas version of soarin with three films. Iceland, Canadian Rockies or wild west
Where’s that? Out of curiosity.
Loving these videos. Thank you.
Just wondering what you do with your bags on these rides? In Australia we have to dump them beside the rides and can’t take them on. What happened here?
You can take your bag on every single ride at Disneyland.
Really enjoy your channel. Was wondering how the rider swap works if you have any advice. Thanks
You speak to the cast member at the front of the ride line and tell them you need to do rider switch. They'll scan the ticket of the person sitting out and one other guest who can ride with the person sitting out. Then they get to go through the lightning lane when it's their turn.
