I always try to do something a little different with each one of these to make it interesting for folks who have been watching since the first one. Thank you so much for watching!
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro Brazil! We are preparing to go to Disneyland on late March and your videos are certainly the best to plan our visit. So cool !
It's just the Main Street area loop. It's the only Disney music I've been able to find that doesn't have copyright warnings. So I generally use it for Disneyland voice over videos. I use Paradise Gardens area loop for DCA as there's a good 20 minute segment in that hour long loop that is also copyright free.
Thanks for everything. I couldn’t plan our trip without you. We’re heading over in Dec this year for my bday, I’d love to see a video of “navigating Disneyland & dca” in the best way. I’ve studied the map & know best thing todo is head right to fantasyland & ride Peter Pan 1st etc (we do have multi pass booked, so we’ll head to rides without lightening lanes 1st, but I’d be interested in seeing a “mapping it out” video… following your steps within the nooks and cranny’s of the map/disneyland and dca…. As in “where is Peter Pan’s flight” once we get to fantasyland? Almost a study guide to each land & section of the 2 parks. Thank you so much for everything. You & your family have a fantastic 2025.
I'm filming a tour tomorrow which will show you where everything is located. We'll point out rides, food, and shops, helping you tie in all this information we've been sharing with a physical location. The strategy videos will start in earnest in February, after I get through all my yearly guides. One we're looking forward to is trying to get all of the Disneyland rides down in one day. We did this last year and it was a huge hit. And people have been requesting we do it again. So that will most likely be out in February. We'll also be redoing our rope drop strategies for both parks.
Totally agree about the Roger Rabbit ride!! It feels so out of place. We're not even going to ride it when we go. I wonder what the thought process was behind that one.
I'd love to know the tips & tricks on waiting the least amount of time for rides, whether through lightning lane, rope-drop, or just best times during the day to go to specific rides!
@@SoCalDisneyDadthat’s always one of my favorite videos! I think I will miss food and wine this year. We will be there a couple days before and a couple days after.
Trevor, could you please let me know when are you going to post a new video for the Disney California Adventure Rides Ultimate Guide 2025? Please let me know as soon as possible because this Disneyland Rides 2025 Ultimate Guide video is great so far and it has shown all of the rides and attractions and I'm really looking forward for all of the rides and attractions at Disney California Adventure as an Ultimate Guide for 2025.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thank you very much, Trevor. I'm looking forward to see the Disney California Adventure Rides Ultimate Guide 2025 once you post it up.
I haven't been to the park in a week, but based on Fresh Baked's photos for today it looks like clear blue skies still at Disneyland. It's 1-2 hours away from the fires, about 80 miles.
@@blackknight9558 Most kids won’t be around late at night. My youngest is falling sleep by 10 PM. But you are absolutely correct for those who have the stamina to make it to midnight.
@@blackknight9558 Oh, and as for replacements, a Donald Duck themed ride would be great. Or Duck Tales or some other Duck themed attraction. Darkwing Duck even. Perhaps not as popular IPs anymore, but that’s why perhaps just Donald would be great.
@@SoCalDisneyDad You're right: We neither saw kids in Fantasyland, nor Mickey's Toontown late at night. "Strategy" my former high school teacher recommended is rope drop in AM, go back to hotel during lunch around noon, then go back out to parks at night after 5p. We did something similar where we took break in between and it was a game changer ... we were refreshed for more rides, and rode 13-14 rides per day total in each park thanks to your videos.
Friday's are always a little busier, but it's truly hard to say. Lunar New Year will be going on in DCA as well. I doubt it'll be Christmas break bad, but it'll likely be busier than the Thursday before it just given the start of the weekend.
@@nonim6798 I would LOVE to go. We will either be going next year for our 15th anniversary, or in 2027 because we might end up going to Paris next year since we were supposed to go this year.
What is Disney doing with the old Haunted Mansion store by Pieces of Eight? I haven’t heard anyone mention it. Is it going to stay as-is or are they extending the Pirates’ store? 🙃
While the whole situation is absolutely tragic, they are far enough away to have little impact on the parks. Skies are blue, and people are reporting a tiny bit of discomfort air quality wise, but nothing terrible as of yet. I'll be back up there tomorrow and will know more first hand. This was mostly filmed on the 5th and 8th
I did Astro Orbitors while pregnant… yeah, not sure I would recommend. I personally didn’t find it enjoyable. I was uncomfortable by the force of it. I was 7 months at the time.
Just wanted to share this with you been a subscriber for about four months, none of your videos ever show up on my feed nor when I search your channel does your newest unseen video show up. Had to go out of my way to find this video, it’s like you’re being shadow banned
That's odd, as our videos so far this year have been performing above normal, and are exceeding viewers and subscribers from both the 2024 and 2023 guides we've put out this time each year. Try checking the actual channel page: ua-cam.com/users/SoCalDisneyDad or try your subscriptions page?
@bdajazzfan That’s coming back soon. But these guides are my best videos every year. Every single one of them get 140k-180k views each. My channel average is somewhere between 20k-40k.
If you enjoyed this video, please LIKE and SUBSCRIBE for more Disneyland 2025 planning videos.
I love listening to these longer videos like a podcast on my way to work! It brings back lots of the Disney magic✨
I’ve been keeping up with the rides guides since around 2023, I, glad to see them still going strong :D
I always try to do something a little different with each one of these to make it interesting for folks who have been watching since the first one. Thank you so much for watching!
No problem, can’t wait to see the rest of the ride guides :)
Going to Disneyland tomorrow. Talk about perfect time for a video
Oh this video makes me miss Disneyland so much! Amazing work, thank you 😊
I'm going to Disneyland twice this month and have been trying to figure out what rides to prioritize so thank you for this video! Very timely.
One of the things I liked about your videos was just walking around the park so I could see paths and how crowded walkways were. Thanks!
What a great video little bit about each ride and some video 10/10 on this one!!!
Always love these yearly guide vids. Thanks, Traver!
Greetings from Rio de Janeiro Brazil! We are preparing to go to Disneyland on late March and your videos are certainly the best to plan our visit. So cool !
I used your Rope Drop strategy last week, and it worked perfectly. I already want to go back!
Great video as always! Can’t wait to get back! Have a great week!
Great video! We are taking someone who has never been to Disneyland, I'm going to send her this link. You did an amazing job, thanks!
So much great information! I love the way you showed the Disneyland Railroad route on the map at the beginning of the video!
Thanks
Thank you!
Had no idea about the Roo pass for the pooh. That's perfect for our family of three!! Thanks so much!!!!
Omg earlyyyyy 🥰 So excited 🤧💖
I’m really enjoying all of the 2025 planning videos. I’m ready for a trip this year!
Awesome video!
Once again, amazing video and super informative!!
Going through Disneyland withdrawals over here! 😂 This is scratching the itch though, so thank you!
Thanks for the awesome video! Would you mind doing an in depth video of Main Street. Going into each gift shop and then by each land? 😊
I love the new jaunty music overlay, and it's especially funny over Indiana Jones!

So detailed tysm! Can you do one for DCA? ❤
@@La_honeyxoxo Already in the process.
Video makes me miss Disneyland 🏰
I have never been this early to anything in my life!
Totally agree about the Roger Rabbit ride!! It feels so out of place. We're not even going to ride it when we go. I wonder what the thought process was behind that one.
The ride opened in the 90s when Roger Rabbit was a pop culture icon as the movie came out in '88.
When I was a tiny kid I thought those railroad dinosaur scenes were real, and it BLEW my tiny kid mind.
Yay! So excited for this video.
I'd love to know the tips & tricks on waiting the least amount of time for rides, whether through lightning lane, rope-drop, or just best times during the day to go to specific rides!
PLEASE could you consider doing a food and wine fest video on that first Friday it starts ❤❤❤❤love your content

Hello, any news on when parades will be back and which parade it will be?
The only thing we know for certain is that Paint the Night is coming back May 16th. We have no further news of other parades as of yet.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thank you
I agree with your Roger Rabbit assessment, they should replace it.
We are planning on coming from Canada January 24-30 and going to Disneyland 3 days. Is the smoke bad? And thank you for all of your helpful content!
I haven't been to the park in a week, but based on Fresh Baked's photos for today it looks like clear blue skies still at Disneyland. It's 1-2 hours away from the fires, about 80 miles.

What should Roger Rabbit's be replaced with?
Gadget Coaster can be enjoyed late at night ... no wait / walk on.

I want to go that Thursday, but my wife has school ):
I'm also getting the Lightning Lane, so it should be an improvement.
for Autopia , I love the smell of gasoline. I will miss it when it’s gone.

Based on my very brief look inside the Madame Leota store, it is completely different stuff. So I expect it'll stay the same.
@@SoCalDisneyDad Thanks, Traver! You da best!! 😁

I could care less about Roger Rabbit… both the ride and the movie. Would love to see that one get re-themed.
