IMPORTANT UPDATE! After I filmed and uploaded this video, Disneyland has announced that Genie+ is being replaced with the Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Individual Lightning Lane is being replaced with Lightning Lane Single Pass starting on July 24th.
As far as I’m aware, this is a change in name only at Disneyland.
WDW will return to advanced booking of the first 3 lightning lanes scheduled weeks before your trip like it was with FastPass+.
I’ll have a new video out at the end of July confirming nothing else has changed about the service once it’s live and available for purchase.
what happens if you already purchased Genie plus tickets for your trip in october?!
@@bestdaysahead921You’ll still have it, it’ll just be called a Lightning Lane Multi Pass now.
It’s a mouthful, but the previous name was so confusing to people.
They didn’t understand that Genie+ was a service you used to book Lightning Lanes. They thought they were two totally different things and had no idea how to buy a Lightning Lane even though they had Genie+.
I think the new names will alleviate this confusion, even if it was easier to say Genie+
Will the cost be the same for Genie+ turning into lightning lane multi pass. or else i gotta make adjustments to my money saving plan for my trip.
I am going to Disneyland/DCA for the first time ever in October. I would like you to know that, first to report or not, your videos have been exceptionally helpful in planing our trip. Your videos are so thorough, have a great variety, and provide excellent information. I really appreciate everything you do. ❤️
@@BlueJean452 Thank you!!
Thank you for all of your updates and for explaining why Disney is doing something instead of complaining about it. Have fun in Yosemite 😊
Thank you for the update. And I hope you are having a great time in Yosemite.
🌲😊
Your vid’s help a lot Trevar and can’t wait to to go on my trip during august! Hope to see you there Disney Dad!!!!
Thanks for the updates Traver!
Aww love the WonderGround! I had some art for sale there several years back ❤
I’m hopefully going to Disney in late August. So thrilled about the Haunted Mansion news. However, I’m not gambling that Tiana’s Splash Mountain will be open in time for us.
Traver! that neck fan comes in clutch, the kids love it! thanks for the tip!
Can’t wait for the August update, I’ll be there next month !
Still working on getting through your Disney World vlogs because I am watching those with my kids but happy to see you back at Disneyland.
Starting to plan my trips for next year.🤩
Literally ordered one of those neck fans for my husband because of your videos :D
I’m watching this video because we’ll be heading out to California in a few weeks and I wanna be aware of what’s currently going on at the parks.
Ive got that same neck fan but in black. Its a gamechanger! Worth every penny!
Have fun at Yosemite! Btw, for anyone who wants the neck fans, they have 2-packs available at Costco.
While I love Disney updating their park, I feel like they do too much construction and closures at the same time. Maybe if they didnt do so many different ones at the same time they could have more crew on a site and get it done quicker. No one wants to pay so much to visit the park on vacation to see so much closed.
will be there on july 8th as well love the videos maybe see you there
Thank you so much for the videos. They have been so helpful. We are planning our trip for next year with our kids (8 & 4) we are trying to decide between end of June or mid October and doing OBB too 🎃👻
OBB is a blast if you love characters. It's pricey for a family, but if you don't get a chance to visit often it's a wonderful memory.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you! Can’t wait for your Halloween content. We usually do WDW, but we absolutely feel in love with DL on our last visit in March of 2023. So we are looking to go again, Halloween seems like it might be the perfect time, and our kids absolutely love Halloween and The Nightmare before Christmas!
Also thanks for the Aulani content, we went this past March and had an absolute blast!!
Thank you for the video
I really want to go back to Disneyland this month. I havent been there since Feb 2023.
I’m glad we put off our trip until later. My husband has never been to Disneyland and I want him to see the regular haunted mansion, not the overlay. It seems like Disney is just rushing through the holidays now. It’s so early to put up Halloween decor.
Thanks for the updates.
Wow
I wish I was able to go to Disney as much as your able to :(
The wall DEFINITELY will NOT be at the bridge. Will anger many guests who walk the entire way only to find that they need to turn right back around. Wall will likely be at Harbor Galley.
I’m going in September, you guys think space mountain will be open again around that time? So far it seems to be closed for the whole month of August lol
Can you explain how to enter a virtual queue for rides? Or how it’ll work for haunted mansion?
I heard they got rid of Abraham Lincoln’s attraction entirely as well as the beauty and the beast library. And so far there’s still no real date as to when tianas bayou adventure opens other than “late 2024” 😔 starting to maybe think I should wait till December instead.
I have seen something about the Disneyland railroad being shut down as of the first week of August. Do you know anything about that?
I just saw that they are now closing Space Mountain on August 5th...the day before we arrive. 😭 Seems like a ton of closures. Space Mountain, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, The Haunted Mansion, even the Disneyland Railroad! Not to mention Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, Pooh Corner, etc.... And now they're not doing shows during the week? Pretty expensive tickets for a park that's half closed. Thoughts? Tips for still having a decent trip?
I hate the idea of a virtual que for the Haunted Mansion only because it will be hard to get a reservation to get on the ride. But thank you for explaining why they are requiring it. Do you think that they will end the virtual que at some point in 2024?
@@jeanh9321 My guess is the virtual queue will end as soon as the rest of the queue opens. Who knows when that will be.
It’s the same time that the New Orleans Square Railroad station reopens as well.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thanks for the info, you are always so helpful! I enjoy your video blogs over all of the others! I was just hoping that the virtual que would be over by September because I have reservations in September and the Haunted Mansion is one of my favorite rides! Thanks again!
Thank you for making these videos always so helpful! My family and I are thinking of going to Disneyland when Tiana’s Bayou Opens. 🐸🎉Do the water attractions ever close in late December or January at Disney?
@@madiegilbert9478 Sometimes, yes, for annual refurb. I know Grizzly is usually closed on January.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thank you!
Hi! I am going in November for my birthday. So the ride will be open but only for virtual queue? May I ask how you do virtual queue?
Kind of a silly question, but can you explain a virtual queue? I have never had to use it and not sure how it works.
We are going back and forth on going in August or waiting till November. We are all cranky in the heat
@@kristenhoskin5822 Unless you’re planning late November, it won’t make much difference.
It was in the 90s last year around November 10th/11th
@@SoCalDisneyDad oh man. Our anniversary is the 14th of November so we will definitely be down around then.
With the new August closures just announced for the railroad and space mountain, I would wait till November. Maybe even an outside chance Tiana’s and Critter Country reopening?
Going to Disneyland in September so many things are closing why didn’t Disney just wait and do things 1 at a time?
What is going on with Rogers the musical right now is it gone
@@megastarwarsrocks99 it only lasted 2 months. That’s all they ever promised for it. I wish they’d bring it back or replace it, but that theater has been vacant for 10 months now.
When was this made because it says June 22 and 23rd so that’s pretty much week old information already. I love the content but I wish I could be a little more up-to-date because it’s redundant now that those days have already passed and we just got this information.
@@gododgers081 I do these videos once a month. They are in preparation for the following month.
This video is for all the ride closures and new construction info that is occurring in July.
Once the full calendar is available for August, I’ll put out a new video talking about August’s closures, around the end of July.
Yes, I filmed it on June 23rd. Yes, new information always comes out the day after I film something. This is the nature of Disney.
The video is useful, however, for those visiting in July.
If you’re talking about the Space Mountain closure scheduled for August, that’ll get covered in next month’s video.
Since the refurb calendar only goes out 6 weeks, it’s impossible to share any info further than a month out.
How does a Virtual Que work? Do you check in in your phone and it tells you what time to come back light a lighting lane but its not a lighting lane?
Can you explaining the genie plus update on a video in the future pls!!
I'm planning on completely redoing my Genie+ video after the change is live. I should have a video up on July 26th.
I am NOT looking forward to TBA. Because from what I saw from the Magic Kingdom version of the retheme, it did NOT look good.
I am planning for 2 day trip to Disney land. We will be 2 adult and one 5 year old. We are not fans of roller coasters. Can some one please suggest some hack into pricing, cheapest I can see is 3 days tour for 800 bucks
That is about right. Disney doesn't get much cheaper. But if you'd like some help trying to get the best deal, call Get Away Today and let them know I sent you. They'll help you find the best price with the best discounts for what you need.

Haunted Mansion and Tiana's need to open now
Where is this refurb calendar?
@@shauniemorgan6923 disneyland.disney.go.com/calendars/day/#/disneyland/
Going the middle of August!
@@shauniemorgan6923 A week or so more and you should be able to see your dates.
Refurb calendar is the bottom tab on each day. If there’s no Refurb tab, there’s nothing closed.
can you post the link for the fan? there are tons of them out there but since you like that one it's the one i'd like to get.
This is the one I purchased for both myself and my mom: amzn.to/3xM6ZXb
I've used it now quite a bit, even yesterday at Universal, and I like it. The middle setting, which is the one I use, is good for 8 hours. My mom was using it on full blast and it only lasts 4 hours. The lowest setting lasts for 16 hours, but I don't really notice much on that setting.
Using the middle setting, and only running it when I'm actually hot (from about Noon to 5 PM or so?), I've never ran out of power before I got home and was able to recharge it.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thanks for the info, from a fellow yinzer.
We are going August 19/20/21 (which isn’t up yet) and on entertainment schedule there is no avengers campus stuff showing at all after 4th August, do you think that’s correct or will be updated, was really hoping to see the Spider-Man show.
@@matthewmeyer2290 I never really trust entertainment schedules that far out.
I’ve seen fireworks schedules say there’s nothing in 3 weeks and then suddenly change as it gets closer.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thanks so much
@@SoCalDisneyDad sorry one more quick question I know if you miss your lighting lane slot you lose it, but can you still modify it when your window opens if the thing you were doing before ran later than you expected.
@@matthewmeyer2290 You can modify it during the window. Yes.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thanks so much all your videos and advice have been so helpful.
Haunted mansion only one virtual que visit a day? I know this is a multiple times a day attraction for many
@@kurtrichardson-wv8yk That would be my assumption as virtual queue has only ever been a once a day thing.
@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you - better than nothing. I’m heading to ca in September for business and coming weekend before to hit the parks
great
Sounds like to be Haunted Mansion and Tiana's has still a lot of time for construction to be done and Disney trying to fast track any kind of opening for Haunted Mansion which could be worse than not opening it at all, but also sounds like both projects nowhere near being complete. With the Resistance ride, last time went to Disney, be two years ago in November, it wasn't uncommon where the first ride of the day wasn't until 10 in the morning.
cool
I am going in Disneyland in December. You said the Haunted House will be on a virtual queue. So do I have to go to a specific site to sign up to ride the haunted mansion then?
yes i’m curious what a virtual queue is as well!
It will be done through the Disneyland app - When the ride opens you will be able to go on the app, find & select haunted mansion, and then enter the virtual queue where you are given a specific time to ride 👍🏼
@@sharnhintz7441 It’s done the same way that virtual queues were done with Rise of the Resistance and with Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway.
They’ll have a drop at 7 AM, and another later, probably around 1 PM, I don’t remember the exact time for the second drop of virtual queue reservations.
The first one can be done anywhere, but you have to have scanned your ticket already to participate in the second drop, so folks not checking in until 3 or 4 PM won’t be able to grab it.
It’ll be done through the Disneyland app and is all pretty straight forward. There’s a lot of instruction and they make it clear. You’ll be able to see what to do.
But I’ll likely make a video about it as well as soon as the ride opens.
You gonna give us a Yosemite tour?
@@MaMyMerkadez Unfortunately, it’s illegal to film for profit in a national park. I don’t know all the details, because there are people who still make videos.
But as of about 2 years ago, I remember reading you could lose your UA-cam channel over it.
Perhaps that’s turned out to not be true. I don’t know. I haven’t really kept up to date with it.
I certainly took lots of footage, but none of it is intended for use on UA-cam.
What do you mean by DCA isn't open for hopping at the moment?
@@jenzb145 You can’t park hop until 11 AM.
@@SoCalDisneyDad oh I see, thank you 😁 I thought it meant it was at capacity. That makes sense now 😁
Is it true that space mountain is closing in August ?
That appeared on the calendar after I made this video, but yes, that is true. I'll have more details next month. It's too early in the calendar to know how long it'll be.
Is it still assumed that all of Critter Country will be closed until Tiana’s opens?
That is correct. That’s the latest word I got from a cast member.
What days are you going to Oogie Boogie Bash ?
I'll be there on August 25th.
If the gift shop is still under construction when Haunted Mansion open what if disney doesn't operate the unloading area and just has everyone exit through the enternce area like they do for wheelchair users it will be on virtual queue so they can manage the croud levels at the ride.
@@ArcadeJackpotMaster That’s always possible, too. Good thinking. I guess we will find out once it opens how they’re going to manage everything.
Where can I buy the 1 year pass
@@joeyavila3100 I don’t believe it’s currently available for sale.
@@SoCalDisneyDad do you have any information on when they will be
@@joeyavila3100 Unfortunately, no. They don’t usually announce it. It just suddenly becomes available when they feel like selling it again.
If I had to make a guess, the next window will be in August sometime, but I can’t say for certain.
First?
Can you explain how to enter a virtual queue for rides? Or how it’ll work for haunted mansion?
Can you explain how to enter a virtual queue for rides? Or how it’ll work for haunted mansion?
@@EmilyHarrison-q4r I’ll make a video about it once Haunted Mansion reopens. For now, you can open the app and scroll down on the Home Screen until you see the “Virtual Queue” area.
It’s as simple as pressing “Join Virtual Queue” about 2-3 minutes before 7 AM, confirming your party, and then refreshing at 7 AM on the dot to join the queue.
If you miss the 7 AM slot, there’ll be another around 1 or 2 PM. It’ll tell you in the app when the next window opens.
@@SoCalDisneyDad awesome!! Thanks for the response & looking forward to your video (and haunted mansion being reopened!)
