      He's definitely the most informative, especially if you are traveling with young kids. Not many Disney UA-camrs talk about the experience as a person with kids. Most of them are coming at it from the "Disney Adult" perspective. So, it's a nice change. He also packs a crazy amount of information into such short videos.

      Much appreciated! Fun fact: only about 30% of viewers make it to the end of a video (that’s just a UA-cam average across all channels).
      So it’s always great to see who stuck with it! Thank you!

    We are coming for the first time in June. We have always been Disney World people but we moved to the west coast and so our kiddos will have Disneyland childhoods. Your videos have been so helpful! Especially making sure that there is enough Disney magic in Disneyland and that some prefer it and I love that this is where it all began with Walt actually walking the streets. Thanks for your videos!

  • @julieschooler
    @julieschooler Місяць тому +2

    Thanks, super helpful! Always watch to the end. I have to say if I had not watched your videos we would have had a really hard day at the park. With all your help we navigated a very busy park day with Genie+ and some middle of the day downtime really well. It was a massive, magical day and we couldn’t have done it without your vlog.

    The best thing I like about grabbing a nearby hotel is that if you're an overplanner....you already know what items you want to buy from shops. So you pick a time during your trip and grab everything you're looking for and head to the hotel. Drop it all off and then you don't have to worry about carrying a bunch of stuff with you or paying for a locker. Side benefit is that all your shopping is done and you can focus on all the other wonderful things.

    Still watching. I made the mistake. Went in February for my birthday. My niece and Sister were with me. Disneyland was closing at 8. We had no clue why. It was the Sweetheart night. And they actually wouldn't let us shop. It was are last night. My niece was looking for a certain ring. She was so upset. We did find it at the Grand Californian store. It's definitely a mistake I won't make again.

I'm hoping to get help on planning to go around. But first I'm having our daughter do the bibbidi bobbidi boop around 8:10am. thank you.

Hoping Tiana’s and/or Mansion re open by Dec & maybe we’ll make it an Annual thing 🤞🏻

    Always watching. I never rent a car, just an EVC for my mobility issues. I'm more comfortable staying on site for that reason alone. There's always room for my ECV, and I don't have to worry about how I'm getting to the parks. The early entry and other extras for us are a great value too. Keep up the great work! 👍

    We love getting photos from the Disneyland photographers and only ever do 3 days so only myself purchases genie+ for the 3 days (family of four, 1 and 3 yr old now) so we have full access to magic shots from the photographers and the magic lenses which is our entertainment while waiting in line and the photos we get are amazing. I have purchased genie+ for 6 days and never actually ever used lightning lane

    Hi, I’m so glad I found your channel! We're headed to Disney in a month for our first trip in almost 2 years…Genie+ is new to me, so I’m debating if we need it all 3 days. We’re doing 1 park per day (2 days Disneyland, 1 day DCA) and it’ll be 2 adults, 2 children (ages 5 and 1) - my thoughts were doing Genie + the first day at Disneyland and if we feel we didn’t get to do all the “big rides,” we can choose to add it for the last day. Thoughts? Thank you for all your info, especially in regards to saving money, tips for kids, etc.!

    Please make a video about a full day/multi day plan for going with babies and toddlers who are not tall enough to ride many rides. We went last year and utilized a lot of your advice and are going again this summer with our 2 year old. Like a “perfect day” with toddlers and babies at Disneyland. Also, do you recommend lightening lane if it’s just two adults traveling with a toddler? We didn’t do it last year, but considering for this year. Appreciate all your videos and recommendations! We loved Candy Cane Inn and SO many of your other recommendations! Please thank Amy and the boys too!
