The trick works for any tree, it's also especially useful because more strollers are on the M&F side as well. People are usually more prepared on the Harbor side.
We were there just yesterday very early, so it still wasn’t very crowded. However, line 20 had just one party before us. The “line” was so short I almost missed it! 😂
That varies greatly for every attraction. However, that analysis has actually been done for one attraction so far: Disneyland's Rise of the Resistance. ua-cam.com/video/zeiQzoqHjlo/v-deo.html
One trick I tend to use, that David hasn't covered already in his tips, is taking my meals a little early. I'll grab lunch at 11am and dinner at 5pm. This usually puts me just ahead of the lunch/dinner rush. As I leave the dining, the rush is beginning. This not only lowers the time I have to spend on food, but then I am free to get on more attractions while other people are caught in the dining rushes. Even with mobile order, things can sometimes back up, so if you eat at off peak times, you are in and out rather quickly. It's also much easier to find a table during crowded days.
@FreshBakedDisney That does not surprise me. I've noticed over the years that you use the same techniques and observations for navigating the parks that I do. One of the reasons I have watched this channel for so long is because I feel like we operate on the same wavelength in that regard.
One more note about the Toy Story lot vs Mickey and Friends: As someone that regularly drives in from San Diego, it's really nice that there's a restroom at the Toy Story lot that we can use before going through security and boarding the busses.
First, stay on Harbor Blvd at the simple hotel, motel, Inn…and walk the 5-10 min walk. No waits…. No battles, no crowd. 2nd, rope drop. 3rd, only use genie once you’ve gone on the most popular rides. 4th. Mobile order food! Always! 5th, shop in middle of day when lines are longest, park full, and hottest. 5th, if with little children, take advantage of mid day nap. 6th, fireworks at Galaxy edge or by Its a Small world.
Agreed with all these though only did small world not galaxy’s edge ( thanks for that hack)for fireworks and used them on Easter trip to Disneyland. If using genie my favorite hack is to look for temporarily closed rides with nearby times. If the ride stays down it is so helpful to get a pass that can be used at any time of your choosing on various rides. Though you can no longer use for non-genie rides in Disneyland you could still use on non genie rides like Pixar pal around at dCA even if you earned the experience at Disneyland. It was different each day but got 6 on Easter including some goldens that let us do Indiana jones and runaway railroad twice with no zig zagging. Got at least one on four other days. And being able to do rides at will with no zig zagging was priceless at 76!
@theshtcoinclub5879Yes! Mostly for us older folk. Brought nieces last yr, forgot 7 yr olds hate naps. My 22 yr old daughter was in charge of her & got no nap. The 15 yr old and I napped hard. So refreshing.
I cannot tell you how helpful these were. We’ve been pass holders for years and some of these were still super helpful. The refresh helped us get my daughter a plain cheeseburger in 15 minutes when hungry bears reopening had a wait of 2 hours. She has arfid and wont eat much in the parks. You quite literally saved everyone’s happiness and a little girl from anxiety Friday!
This is one of the best videos. I'd consider myself an out of town expert who goes 2-3 times a year and most videos I don't learn, I learned so much from this one.
Took your advice to heart and implemented almost every hack you listed. Thank you! You made our day so much more efficient. It was also a great surprise, having parked in the Toy Story lot and, by coincidence, sitting next to you in the shuttle to the parks. It was a pleasure to meet you! Thanks again for the hacks!! You were the HERO of our day!!
Loved the mobile order hack. As a usualWDW east coaster , when we did a 5 day visit over Easter at Disneyland we loved the fireworks and projections back at small world! I’m 76 and being able to sit on a bench at a raised area there was really unbelievable and a magical view imo.
I was a part of the Disney College Program in 2018 and whenever I wanted to go to the park as a guest, not while working, I would park at the Toy Story lot too! It was always such a smoother ride to and from the parks! Especially on busy days!
6:29 for Goofy’s sky school it’s also worth noting that the single rider queue before noon is usually completely empty (you can even see in this video it’s completely empty) I’ve literally walked on that ride multiple times because of this!
Definitely trying the tree trick on my visit. I have also used Uber to get to the park and that saved me quite some time with parking and waiting on extra transportation from the garages to the front gates.
We were just in Disneyland this past weekend and used many of the tips you have been sharing in your recent videos. From time of day stuff, paying attention to the app vs real wait times, and then used the Jolly Holiday trick to order and change the time window. We have been to Disneyland many times and still found lots of your tips in recent videos helpful! Also saw you filming on Father's Day at Matterhorn and on Teacups.
We went to Disneyland Paris last summer in June. We were amazed that we got a spot right in front of the castle to watch their projection and drone show only an hour before it began at park closing (11pm). There was no big crowd it was no hassle, completely different from stateside experiences. And the show turned out to be amazing.
That mobile order time refresh is an absolute life saver. I found it once when I went into change to a later time because the kids decided they wanted to go on a ride at the time wed chosen. I saw 'NOW' available and clicked it so fast 😂 Also this isnt really a hack but the most magical way to see fireworks is definitely while riding The Matterhorn. We always try and tee up our ride with the fireworks. It can work pretty well if you keep an eye on and use the single rider lane.
Just got back from Disneyland and I used the mobile order refresh hack constantly, game changer thanks so much. Also the entry gate 20 idea definitely saved us a 20-30 minute wait. Brilliant. Please encourage folks to not do Incredicoaster Single Rider line. It was a mess, took me longer than the posted wait time. Surprisingly inefficient for Disney when the Radiator Springs single rider line works perfectly.
Solid video! I recently discovered the tree hack on my own and I was shocked I hadn't learned sooner. Also if you aren't worried about time, getting to Mickey and friends 40 minutes to an hour early will get you close to front of the line for parking. Also same with shows. Always do the 2nd show! And if you want front row seats, get there 40 minutes to an hour early. But I LOVED the mobile order hack! Thanks Dave!
My son is obsessed with the tram and I think it was his favourite ride the first time we visited haha. We love to play back home: "driver you are clear...beep beep!" No way he will agree to take the bus. We had to take the bus in Feb 2022 when the trams were out of service.
Thanks for the tip on gate 20 I will try that for my trip tomorrow also one tip you can avoid all that and just go through where the monorail stops at in downtown Disney.
Just did 2 days at DCA / DL and used every single one of these tips. Amazing!! We were especially surprised at how chill the Toy Story lot was! Thanks for helping us do Disneyland like the locals 😊
@@crolle4500 yes, it's like $30/day just like all the other lots. We showed up at like 7:15 and nearly had a front row spot. Hopped on the bus, and were tapped in by 7:30. It was impressive how much time we saved compared to the Mickey & Friends garage/tram situation.
The Toy Story shuttle is a life saver. We stay at Motel 6, and walk to the shuttles from there. Sure, it's kind of nonsensical to walk there just to turn around and drive back toward our hotel, but when you're exhausted at the end of the day, it's amazing to not have to walk that extra distance.
David, so when my sister and I stayed at one of the motels and it was a little farther, we took the local bus that comes to where you are staying. You can get a pass ticket for how many days you want. It goes to all hotels and motels then into the drop off at the main area where all buses stop at the Disney Resort. That way you can leave your car and only pay for the bus ride . So check it out and ask at your hotel front desk for information.
That "gate 20" strategy is so next level! Upon reflection, I do that all the time at buffets at conferences and weddings and also at Costco gas stations, stadiums, getting on trains and even getting through airport security (there is a secret line at Detroit Metro Airport that is just like "gate 20"). There is typically a second (or most strategically situated) line and people are distracted and don't notice. Go to the one that is further away for most people and look for opportunities near obstructions. 🤠
The parade camping and riding thing is legit though. I think I've watched the fireworks all the way through just once? ever? No, it's the best time to loop space mountain or the new star tours to get different paths and such. One time, back when the doors still worked on Indy, I rode it about five or six times in a row during some of those later-night things. When there's literally nobody in line, there's nothing wrong with jumping that little rope fence from the exit back into the queue to run again lol
Oh, good! Got nervous. He still saved some of the best secrets. Muahaha! Great video here! Even I didn't know about the mobile ordering idea.. I use the same method of refreshing for my same day booking if I want a certain park or if it's unavailable but usually I find if it's passed noon.. it's locked for the day.
Great video! Loved the tips! Thank you! Would love to see a video on how best to spend your afternoon at Disney. When it’s hot and the crowds are surging, but you don’t want to necessarily go take a nap and you can only spend so much time eating.
Historically, one of the great things about attending a theme park was how casual and relaxing it was. With monetized lines, those halcyon days are gone. It’s a big loss.
If you buy the the line it’s very relaxing, unless the ride breaks than there’s going to be some angry guests 😂 you’ve never seen rage until you see a 1st timer locked out of their ride due to closure.
We always come from 350 miles away, I never need to park, but I do know about the rest of the tips, I know a lot of fun things to do and see that people want to go with me.
I’ve tried Toy Story parking several times - based solely on your rec. While you arrive at the park pretty quickly, it takes at least 30 to 45 minutes to get on a bus back to the lot in the afternoon. Not fun for tired, cranky families! So it’s Pixar Pals lot for me every time.
Its about a 15min walk if you’re willing. I know it seems like eternity at the end of a long day but its better than waiting for the bus when its crowded. 7eleven on the way there if you want to stop for a snack too lol
My personal hack, I use a roof cargo box on the SUV( even tho it’s empty) you get directed to the area where all the handicap parking is since it’s considered too tall to enter the garage.
I love this video! Watch Fresh Baked enough and you will pick up on most of these. This puts it all into one video! Love yea, Dave! Another one to go along with Lightening Lane/Genie+ is the go/no go. Take a moment to look at the line and Lightening Lane/Genie+ to gage if it is a go/no go. The time might be posted one thing while the line is another. While doing this also look at how many rotations the line might be (this one is honestly a bit harder to understand and do, but if you watch Fresh Baked enough you might pick up on it over time. I know I have.)
Sorry...But ✨Fresh Baked✨ is Not Disneyland.....Can you imagine if Fresh Baked made a lot of positive decisions towards Disneylands' Operations.....it would eliminate half the daily stress on many park visitors.🙌
@@PatrickHausenfleck-zf4lf I LOVE IT!!! I think EVERYONE that truely loves Disneyland would make better decisions that would be positive to guests and cast members.
Thank you for these tips. I'm proud to say I learned all these from your previous videos and it is nice to have them all in one place. Didn't know about the gate trick. Thank you!
I have a hack for Disneyland: usually, these places to sit are available at the last minute: the Alice in Wonderland restrooms and the low brick wall by the Main Street USA railway station.
But I’m not opposed to Toy Story. I went last week and took Lyft to the resort. Dropped off at the Harbor Blvd security at 6:55am. Three minutes through security. Still made rope drop after dropping my backpack at a locker, using the restroom and grabbing a coffee.
I did take your advice about posted wait times in the app - I rope dropped Peter Pan (I rarely go on it but was curious). Posted wait time at Rope Drop was 45 minutes. I was on and off in 27 minutes.
You always go second show because parents want to see the first show so many times they can leave and take the kids to bed. So much good rides can be hit late into the night as the families with small kids leave
It's a strategy game planning out DL. Really need to optimize everything to not get stuck. I think DL can do a better job on their end to not put all the complexity on us cus I'm spending hrs just planning.
The app que thing is so interesting to me. For sure in Disney World I don’t think this would work. So often when we went it was 2 hours for rise and that que was definitely 2 hours long.
I have been going to Disneyland for almost 40 years now, and I think I have only parked at Mickey and Friends like two or three times total since it opened. I like to park at Toy Story just because it is so easy to get in and out of and I prefer the bag check before I get on the bus/tram.
Wow did they change the line locations for Soace Mountain in the last 4 yrs? I was there pre-pandemic and I don’t recognize the Soace Mountain “que “ that you showed
Wow David, thank you so much for this!! My family and I are going in a couple of weeks (July) and THIS video plus your "What to Expect for July" video were so helpful since everyone is going to be looking to me to guide the trip since I keep up with all of your videos 🤣🤣. I haven't been since 2016 though, so I know A LOT has changed! Hope we catch you in the parks! 🐭🏰🧁
I often take my work truck, it's a Chevy 3500 (non dually) with a full size bed rack. Due to its size, as long as I show up early and spots are available, they park me on the bottom level of Mickey and Friends by the electric vehicle chargers. It's awesome. Each ticket booth has an Orange line (I believe it's orange) that is the height indicator. If your truck or van is above that line they send you left to the awesome bottom floor lot. Be warned though, if you show up late and no spots are available, they will send you to Toy Story lot. I love Mickey and Friends, I feel like the Tram is the final ride of the day and if you get back before fireworks, you can watch the fireworks before going to your car from the parking structure.
Nice Pro Tips, Thanks! Yeah Gate #20 works well when the lines are long. Toy Story parking lot is NOT covered! Sorry not parking my car there in the Sun (nor rain)
Your Tree Trick at Gate 19/20 BLEW MY MIND. This video was indeed a masterpiece. 😎
The trick works for any tree, it's also especially useful because more strollers are on the M&F side as well. People are usually more prepared on the Harbor side.
@@solarwhale Good to know! Thank you!
We were there just yesterday very early, so it still wasn’t very crowded. However, line 20 had just one party before us. The “line” was so short I almost missed it! 😂
it still works?! we have been going for 20+ years! Can't wait to come back!
Wanted to note that the "Change Arrival" principle also works really well for Genie+ reservations!
The tree at entrance #20 and mobile order refresh for earlier time slot tips both worked like charms today! Thanks, Dave.
We need a whole video about what points in each queue correlates to a certain wait time!
That varies greatly for every attraction. However, that analysis has actually been done for one attraction so far: Disneyland's Rise of the Resistance.

Probably just a strategy in general anywhere
One more note about the Toy Story lot vs Mickey and Friends: As someone that regularly drives in from San Diego, it's really nice that there's a restroom at the Toy Story lot that we can use before going through security and boarding the busses.
There’s a restroom before security at Mickey and Friends too
Oh for sure! Agreed! We drive up from San Diego too ☺️
Where is the restroom at Toy Story? Thanks
There is restrooms at Mickey and friends tho
How much does parking cost at each lot?

No battles, no crowd. 2nd, rope drop. 3rd, only use genie once you’ve gone on the most popular rides. 4th. Mobile order food!

🤫 shhh if everyone does it it won’t be as advantageous for the rest of us. 😆
@theshtcoinclub5879Yes! Mostly for us older folk. Brought nieces last yr, forgot 7 yr olds hate naps. My 22 yr old daughter was in charge of her & got no nap. The 15 yr old and I napped hard. So refreshing.
We stay at Tropicana across the street. Love the location!
For first timers the castle fireworks are a non negotiable.
The Tree Trick! Who knew? And the Change Arrival Window trick! excellent tips Dave. Thank you.

Love Fresh Baked! “Man of the people.” Thank you for these tips!
Our pleasure!
It’s crazy we have to do all this strategy to go to Disneyland and use all the attractions. It’s helpful and I’m grateful for your videos
The line tip is right on. If too far away when the time is low chances are slim to take advantage of the low wait.
This is one of the best videos. I'd consider myself an out of town expert who goes 2-3 times a year and most videos I don't learn, I learned so much from this one.

The mobile order hack also works for lightning lane bookings too! Thanks for the tips!
We were just in Disneyland this past weekend and used many of the tips you have been sharing in your recent videos. From time of day stuff, paying attention to the app vs real wait times, and then used the Jolly Holiday trick to order and change the time window. We have been to Disneyland many times and still found lots of your tips in recent videos helpful! Also saw you filming on Father's Day at Matterhorn and on Teacups.

Was in the park today and got my combo from jolly holiday an hour earlier with your trick, thank you Fresh Baked! ✨
We usually try to get in the Pixar parking and get on the Monorail at Downtown Disney. It drops you off in tomorrow land by the submarine ride.
I do tip #5 all the time. Great tips! Thanks for everything you do
This is what I'm looking for when I look for tips and tricks. Thanks!
That mobile order time refresh is an absolute life saver. I found it once when I went into change to a later time because the kids decided they wanted to go on a ride at the time wed chosen.

Changed EVERYTHING for me when it came to mobile order.
I thought I knew disney pretty decently but I just learned soo much! I wanna go back just to test and use all your tricks! 😆
At Disney today and the gate 19 tip worked like a charm!! Thank you!
Just got back from Disneyland and I used the mobile order refresh hack constantly, game changer thanks so much. Also the entry gate 20 idea definitely saved us a 20-30 minute wait. Brilliant.

Thanks for the parking tip we are staying not to far from toy story parking over the 4th of July weekend ❤❤
I love waiting by the magic morning gate and waiting for it to turn into normal entrance.
Thanks for the tip on gate 20 I will try that for my trip tomorrow also one tip you can avoid all that and just go through where the monorail stops at in downtown Disney.
Just did 2 days at DCA / DL and used every single one of these tips. Amazing!! We were especially surprised at how chill the Toy Story lot was! Thanks for helping us do Disneyland like the locals 😊

Yeah the wait time going up as I’m going to the line has happened countless times!
Thanks for the mobile order tip and the buffet tip. Even as a veteran it’s nice to learn better ways to do things.
12:49 favorite tip. thanks for the red arrow 😊
I see you at Disneyland all the time! You're the best!
Thats why i use touring plans app for wait times
That "gate 20" strategy is so next level!

So much anxiety! Fresh Baked tips reduce the anxiety!
Hey Dave - does the “tree trick” still work TODAY now that they have removed trees??
Dang David, you just gave away the keys to the kingdom. 😄 Thank you though for the great pro tips! Can’t wait to try them.
The parade camping and riding thing is legit though. I think I've watched the fireworks all the way through just once? ever?

Exactly, so M&F garage you can take the loss in the AM but if you can sneak out at a random time you can fly out of there with no issues.
Its about a 15min walk if you’re willing. I know it seems like eternity at the end of a long day but its better than waiting for the bus when its crowded.
7eleven on the way there if you want to stop for a snack too lol

Jonesing for some Disneyland and this hit the SPOT!!
Nothing is better than an early Freshbaked drop at lunch time!!
My parking skills are SO BAD for Disneyland, this is SOLID-GOLD!!
Sorry...But ✨Fresh Baked✨ is Not Disneyland.....Can you imagine if Fresh Baked made a lot of positive decisions towards Disneylands' Operations.....it would eliminate half the daily stress on many park visitors.🙌
@@PatrickHausenfleck-zf4lf I LOVE IT!!! I think EVERYONE that truely loves Disneyland would make better decisions that would be positive to guests and cast members.
Thanks for the info on mobile order hack! We'll be there next week.
people should be paying for this much valuable info in one video
Great tip about gate 20! I am definitely going to try this when I visit Disney in September 🙌 thanks!
Dang it, I wish I would have watched this sooner before I went to both parks on December 2024... Thank you for your advice...
You should rank the restaurants
Great tips!!!! Mobile order hack will definitely help!!!!!!! Thank you ❤️
Thank you for these tips. I'm proud to say I learned all these from your previous videos and it is nice to have them all in one place. Didn't know about the gate trick. Thank you!

WoW this hacks are super cool I’m going for the first time next August…I’m definitely try them
Love the gate 20 hack, thank you!!!!!
I have a hack for Disneyland: usually, these places to sit are available at the last minute: the Alice in Wonderland restrooms and the low brick wall by the Main Street USA railway station.
This video was phenomenal and so very helpful for our trip coming in July!!!
Glad it was helpful!
I usually drive to the parks and always park at Mickey & Friends/Pixar Pals, arriving at 6:45-6:55am and have always made Rope Drop.
But I’m not opposed to Toy Story. I went last week and took Lyft to the resort. Dropped off at the Harbor Blvd security at 6:55am. Three minutes through security. Still made rope drop after dropping my backpack at a locker, using the restroom and grabbing a coffee.
I did take your advice about posted wait times in the app - I rope dropped Peter Pan (I rarely go on it but was curious). Posted wait time at Rope Drop was 45 minutes. I was on and off in 27 minutes.
Wow, David! I think this is one of your best posts ever! So good! Thank you!!
That's what I was thinking
Thank I enjoyed the information.
See you at gate 20!
Added tip/personal opinion current projections and firwork show is amazing to watch at small world
You always go second show because parents want to see the first show so many times they can leave and take the kids to bed. So much good rides can be hit late into the night as the families with small kids leave
Thank you, thank you, thank you! This is invaluable.
You're so welcome!
Awesome tips as always!
I've watched a ton of videos on DL tips, and this one may just be the best I've seen! The food tips and tree tips are GOLD! Thank you!
You're a legend
These were great!!!! Thank you David!! 😀😀🤗. 🌸
Great tips! Thanks FB!
I’m excited to try these out on my next visit!
Wow i am a local and i didn't know the mobile order hack, that is wonderful❤❤❤❤❤
Going to disney and so many jargons...feels like SAT exam
It's a strategy game planning out DL. Really need to optimize everything to not get stuck. I think DL can do a better job on their end to not put all the complexity on us cus I'm spending hrs just planning.
Good Stuff!!
Thank you!!!! I e are going in September. This is so helpful.
The app que thing is so interesting to me. For sure in Disney World I don’t think this would work. So often when we went it was 2 hours for rise and that que was definitely 2 hours long.
I have been going to Disneyland for almost 40 years now, and I think I have only parked at Mickey and Friends like two or three times total since it opened. I like to park at Toy Story just because it is so easy to get in and out of and I prefer the bag check before I get on the bus/tram.
🎉🎉 appreciate all the advice
Wow did they change the line locations for Soace Mountain in the last 4 yrs? I was there pre-pandemic and I don’t recognize the Soace Mountain “que “ that you showed
Excellent
Yay, FreshBaked! Thanks for this!
Ah ha! The Tree Trick! Now everyone knows! 😪. Just kidding, Fresh Baked 😂. Thanks for the tips. 💕
Do the busses at Toy Story Parking run until the park closes?
Wow David, thank you so much for this!! My family and I are going in a couple of weeks (July) and THIS video plus your "What to Expect for July" video were so helpful since everyone is going to be looking to me to guide the trip since I keep up with all of your videos 🤣🤣. I haven't been since 2016 though, so I know A LOT has changed! Hope we catch you in the parks! 🐭🏰🧁
Great tips! Thanks Fresh Baked!
I often take my work truck, it's a Chevy 3500 (non dually) with a full size bed rack. Due to its size, as long as I show up early and spots are available, they park me on the bottom level of Mickey and Friends by the electric vehicle chargers. It's awesome. Each ticket booth has an Orange line (I believe it's orange) that is the height indicator. If your truck or van is above that line they send you left to the awesome bottom floor lot. Be warned though, if you show up late and no spots are available, they will send you to Toy Story lot. I love Mickey and Friends, I feel like the Tram is the final ride of the day and if you get back before fireworks, you can watch the fireworks before going to your car from the parking structure.
Nice Pro Tips, Thanks! Yeah Gate #20 works well when the lines are long.
Toy Story parking lot is NOT covered! Sorry not parking my car there in the Sun (nor rain)
