I absolutely adore when AJ goes rogue on a list like this and decides to just completely disregard what the team says. I have no interest in riding those canoes but you know what honey you do you!
The teacups are AMAZING at Disneyland. I can leave them at Disney World but the Disneyland teacups are 10/10. Even if I don't get on, I love watching them and that whole area of the land is amazing.
i love how much personality this vid has. normally the voiceovers in these types of vids r super boring and uninteresting but this one gives the video a much more enjoyable and personable feeling :)
Hot take: if you don't go on Small World, you haven't really been to Disneyland - it's an essential part of the experience. Overall this is a solid list, although like many people, I feel Alice is way too low. If nothing else, the bit where you go back outside the show building is super cool. I'd also rank Jungle Cruise and Star Tours higher. The only ride I feel is ranked too high is Monsters Inc. As was pointed out, it's still basically just Superstar Limo, arguably their worst all time ride - the overlay doesn't really change much for me. Finally, I'd almost want the seasonal overlays ranked as separate rides - for example, the regular Mansion is a 10/10 - but to me the Nightmare Before Christmas version just isn't the same.
Top 10 scene I love at it’s a small world 1:the whole castle looks like real gold and white bricks 2:the look of the clock is kinda good but weird at the same time 3:I love the design of the dolls looks like but I like it better in Tokyo 4:some countries are missing and some of them are not that makes me help them 5:the hello scene is absolutely beautiful and love how the flowers looked like from Peppa pig 6:the clock parade is so beautiful I can’t even look away of the clock parade 7:at the finale all of them teamed up and singing it’s a small world 8:the sun at the finale was much better than the old one because the old one was kinda creepy 9:I always go there every Sunday 10:the holland dolls were kinda cute the girl ones were much cuter Those are the top 10 small world scene that I love
I agree with you on most of this, but I don't think I heard you right. You like the REGULAR haunted mansion over the christmas overlay? I guess I can see it, but the nightmare before christmas version is packed with so much different stuff that, you can find something new each time you go on it. When I went on regular haunted mansion for the first time, it felt a little bit empty for a lot of it. Idk maybe that's just me.
No it’s not I recently skipped. It’s a small world and it’s one of the worst rides in the park personally just go to radiator Springs racers Pirates of the Caribbean and the incredibles coaster or any other ride, the ride is probably the most slowest ride in Disneyland making it the most boring. There’s literally zero thrill. Meaning that if you’re over the age of seven you’re going to find this ride boring another big problem is that the animatronics are just ugly compared to the animatronics in radiator Springs racers they look like possessed dolls if I’m being honest second of all the ride is just a waste, and it always breaks down the last time I went there. The boat I was in, got stuck in me, and a bunch of other people had to wait a long while. Overall skip this ride if you see it if you want the true Disney land experience just go to the more thrilling and cooler rides. That make you feel like you’re in a place that’s not like any other place
We’re going to need a recount on the Disneyworld vs Disneyland ride comparison video a few months back. Dino was ranked 7/10 on one video and Indy was ranked 9.5/10 on this video. Indy lost with the comparison being the tie breaker. Justice for Indy! 😂
Yeah we are from AZ but live in Tampa now. The Kingdom is maybe 60% of what Disneyland is. From the absence of Matterhorn, Mr Toad, Indy, Star Tours, Pinnochio and Toon Town to the lack of New Orleans Square its just not the same. Also The themes for the Haunted Mansion and Pirates are lackluster (I really miss that restaurant at the end of Pirates ride, very cool). The 105 min wait for the Dwarf Cart ride is sullied by the 1 min ride time length. Its just not as good.
@@longline80 I'd actually advocate for raising Star Tours even higher. It's the first ride ever of its kind, and more than Millenium Falcon, it really makes you feel like you are in Star Wars. Couple that with some incredibly intense moments, and I'd call it a classic
Having Buzz Lightyear below Dumbo, Goofy’s Sky School, Golden Zephyr, Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind, Casey Jr’s Circus Train, King Arthur’s Carousel, Maters Junkyard Jamboree, Luigi’s Rollickin Roadsters, the Story Book Land Canal Boats, and Pixar Pal Around is insane. Also, Alice in Wonderland is also incredibly too low. Alice in Wonderland is better than Mr. Toad, Snow White and Pinocchio in fantasyland, which is saying something because those 3 rides are really good.
I miss splash mountain, I didn't even know the back story of it until it was explained to me recently or even the IP it was themed too it was just a fun ride.
I just got back from my first Disneyland trip! So much fun! I really liked that everything was so close together and that no transit was needed within the resort
For me I would recommend Autopia, It’s a Small World, Golden Zephyr, Grizzly River Raft, Monorail, Radiator Springs Racers, maters junkyard jamboree, big thunder , Davy Crockett explorer canoe, Matterhorn, Finding Nemo Submarine, Webs Slingers, Toy Story Midway Mania, Peters pan flight, jungle cruise, pirate’s of the Caribbean, Soarin
I think the wait time for the Roger Rabbit ride should be mentioned. It's always forever long and never worth it. If the line is coming out of the building, don't get in line even if just one person is poking out. The line snakes forever inside and there is no escaping once you're in.
THANK YOU AJ AND DISNEY FOOD BLOG FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOOOO AWESOME. This will be SOOOOOO helpful for me because I'm hoping to go to Disneyland sometime
I love these vids, but I really gotta ask how the teacups and Alice's dark ride are lower than the off-the-rack swings in DCA? 🤔Any of the standard "carnival" rides in DCA (though fun) shouldn't be higher than one of the early ones in Disneyland. Don't go all Aunt Susan on us AJ 😄
Where is splash mountain? I know, its currently closed but the ride ITSLEF (so not the theme) is the same. And since it’s one of the best rides ever it should be included and deserved AT LEAST to be mentioned.
I like rides where you can control aspects of the ride and have control over the experience. Mad Tea Party has you controlling the rotation of your tea cup for example
I remember as a kid LOVING going on the Disney Railroad to see the dinosaurs. It's funny you mention how random it is (it is), but it's a credit to the imagineers coming up with something that becomes "SO COOL" to younger kids.
I just want to thank you ❤ I went to Disney World back in February to celebrate me and my daughter's bday. I followed all of your tips and tricks at all 4 parks. We were able to do MK and AK without ❤lighting lane! I made sure to get it for Hollywood studios and Epcot.We got on every ride and saw almost every show. Tiffins was Amazing and I told them you sent me.❤❤❤
Davy Crockett’s Explorer Canoes ride is one of my favorites! Normally I just really like it, but this one time they had a person with a drum at the front and he said, we can just paddle around the island, or we can catch up with that boat ahead of us and challenge them to a race. Which would you like to do? We raced 3 boats that ride around and won all of them. This was before Galaxy's Waste of Space, so the ride was a little longer. The last race was a sprint to the finish and the other canoe ended up hitting the rocks and spinning around. What really got us pumped up was that he was beating the drum to the pace of our strokes, causing us to all be in unison, and I think paddle a little faster because of excitement.
I like that one too! When I worked at Disneyland in the early 1980s, the employees would have canoe races before the park opened. I wanted to join them, but it was a little too early in the morning for my tastes.
OK, being a annual passholder/magic key holder for 20+ years. I can honestly say the only thing I don’t really agree with wholeheartedly is the fact that Roger rabbit got a higher ranking than Alice in Wonderland 🤣🤣
Thanks so much AJ & DFB Team! This was very fun! I 'mostly' agree, but Big Thunder Mountain RR is 10 /10. Alice In Wonderland, at least 7.5/10 and the Tea Cups from dusk to night under the lights, magic, 8/10! And yawls are quite naughty for leavin' out the Monorail. At D-land it's more ride than transportation! A glorious 7.5/10! All in all, ya done good! 😍
My two favorite Disney rides are pirates and river run. I went to Disneyland this August and we stayed at the grand Californian. Lots of nights we would go on the grizzly river run multiple times before we went back to the hotel. I can’t wait to go back ❤
Love it or hate it totally agree on small world. Every time we go to Disney it’s always brilliant to watch and singalong. After the update in Paris was done that version was my favourite, characters look so brilliant now
its great to see a Disneyland video from you guys. Im from Cali and I always watch your channel but its mostly WDW and just a sprinkle of Disneyland here and there. So, i always watch when you put out a Dland video. It would be great if you guys had a Dland Channel because you guys put so much effort into your vids. Im sure many people would love to watch, if you had a Dland Channel.
It's a world of laughter A world of tears It's a world of hopes And a world of fears There's so much that we share That it's time we're aware It's a small world after all! It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small, small world There is just one moon And one golden sun And a smile means Friendship to ev'ryone Though the mountains divide And the oceans are wide It's a small world after all! It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small world after all It's a small, small world
We had a family trip to DL when I was about 13-14 yo and my cousins who were about 20 took me on the teacups. I had been on it a few times before without problems. But they being experts, knew the fast cups and put me in a world of hurt. Kind of like your first alcohol, I can't go on them again, even at a slow pace. I don't think I've fully recovered.
California resident here. Been to Disneyland and DCA countless times. Just recently went to WDW in FL and was blown away by Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, Avatar Flight of Passage, and Tron. All 10/10 for me. Hopefully Disney gets copies made for our parks here on the West Coast!
Agree 100% with your review of Web Slingers. The intro is actually better that the ride itself. And by the time you figure out how to sling webs the ride is over. Hopefully this one will be drastically remodeled and improved.
I think Pirates of the Carribean is far and away the greatest Disney attraction ever. The intro is perfect, easing you into the experience, and you drop straight into it. You see the fallout and horrors of piracy in reverse order, but there is a fun to the whole thing
I get that Enchanted Tiki Room was not included as you likely see it as a show rather than a ride. But since they are all attractions rather than rides (with Mr. Toad’s notable exception), it should have been included. And scored as one of the 10 out of 10 for the theme and iconic nostalgia. It’s the one attraction I will not miss when in Anaheim.
It's not a ride period. Then you'd have to add other non-rides onto this list like Turtle Talk, Tom Sawyer Island, Sleeping Beauty Castle, Treehouse, Shooting Gallery, etc.
6:13 the goofy sky school ride is terrifying even tho it’s for kids not all kids should ride it because it feels like ur gonna fall off 8:56 the swings closed😢 9:35 one of my fav rides in the park 11:10 super cute animatronics and cute theme 11:49 we always skip that ride because me and my family rather ride a fast coaster then a slower ride 12:23 SUCH A FUN RIDE! i’m about to be a teen and i still love it this is the cutest ride to go on with ur family 13:11 the first time i was going to go on this is got shut down for a hour because someone threw up on it but super fun 14:14 idk why but i just didn’t like this ride 15:05 i hated this so much because i don’t like to be in the water or get wet so yeah 15:33 i love this ride when ur feet hurt and u can just sit down 16:25 i really like this one because u can see cute story themes 17:52 i feel the same 18:57 i have a huge fear of heights so yeah 19:52 idk i still will love this one 20:20 HOW DARE U NOT PUT THIS CLOSER TO THE TOP 21:30 i never got to. go on it but it looks good 22:24 that’s ONE OF MY FAVS 23:04 i’m so sad i didn’t get to go on it 23:53 SO SO FUN 24:43 meh should be a little lower on the list 31:45 this ride is so so cool 32:28 tbh this ride should be closer to the top 33:49 i don’t really like this ride but good ratings 34:39 YES JUST YES 🙌 👏 35:45 hyper speed? i didn’t know that part 36:21 OH HECK YAH 37:05 YUP 🙌
3:47 doesn’t matter. The big difference is that you could do what you want. Drive the wrong way (track goes left while you’re steering to the right) for example. That’s a big difference which makes it way more fun than a lot of rides ranked a lot higher. My opinion but I’m not the only one.
Hello AJ and Crew! Great info of DL! VERY rare of you to hit on the West Coast....but, that is ok. We FINNALLY plan on a DL trip for Halloween 2024, at least 9 of us! We will be working on staying at GC as to just walk-in for their version of the Halloween Party....cannot wait! Thanks again for all the info!
AND I ride Dumbo to remember my daughters excitement 29 years ago when we rode it 13 times in one day It’s all bout emotion And Alice takes me back to days with my sister and the sensations when we emerged on the big leaf
As someone who has extreme motion sickness and stresses out when in a vehicle that spins or has jerky moves, Astro Blast is my legit #1 ride. :P No spinning movements, it's an easy ride, and it's also a game featuring some of my fave Disney characters (sorry, Zurg, I may have to shoot you my next trip). I'm so glad it's still there, last time I went to Disney, I played it twice!
Here’s a fact: Break down and get stuck in just the right spot on Mr Toad’s Wild Ride and you’ll hear the audio from Alice In Wonderland. This is because Alice and Mr Toad are in the same building with Mr Toad being below the Alice ride!
Just a note: On Astro Blasters, you can make it spin as much as you want 😀 the points don't matter to me so I love to just spin away and enjoy the music and scenes! 😁 Way more fun than just the regular ride ☺
WRONG Splash Mountain is #1. Yeah I get its undergoing a makeover but the ride itself is 8-10 minutes of glorious glorious ride. The line moves and you can fit this in 3 times in a day! The ride itself never presented anything controversial and the switch from story, to atmosphere to view of the park is amazing. Also, no lottery baloney. No 65-120 min waits! Just go and enjoy
i now think silly symphony swings is a good ride because i found out it has onride music; one song i head was a familiar song that you might hear in a horse race also correction: space mountain became smoother in 2005, not 2015
I think what’s so cool about Soarin’ around the world is that it can still bring back the original Soarin’ over California, even if it’s only for a limited time in the year
Here’s a drawback for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters: If the ride breaks down but doesn’t get evacuated, the process of resetting the ride zeroes out your score. Also, rails rise up during a breakdown just in case an evacuation is required because the show scenes are on a lower level than the Omnimover vehicles, so the rails are there to prevent people from falling into the show scenes and getting hurt since it’s quite a drop if you fall down there. If the ride gets reset and starts moving again, the rails retract back into the floor
Thank goodness y’all made this video. We live in Georgia and go to WDW every year but have been to DL only once. We weren’t prepared and missed a lot of things there. Didn’t go to DCA. So excited to go in September of 2024. This video will help us be prepared.
I love the DFB Crew but I have a bone to pick with this video. If the subject is to compare and rank Disneyland rides then compare them to each other, not some park clear on the other side of the country.
Lol, Jumping Jellyfish is both my kids' fave. I also think Roger Rabit is not worth the wait for how dull the ride is. You cannot even spin the wheels and the line cue is clostrophobic. Mr. Toad's is better and has less of a wait.
I was having a pretty low day at DCA one trip in 2014 and then it started raining! my sister and I hadn’t gotten to ride nearly as many rides as we’d like so we’d pretty much just resigned ourselves to eating chicken sandwiches in front of soaring over california (which needs to come back) and waiting for the water show. then we saw the goofys sky school had a really small line so we took a chance on what we thought was a kiddy ride. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN I’m much older than I was in 2014 but I love that ride so much more than most other rides either park
My top DL Day 1. Check Dapper Dans 2. Visit SB Walkthrough 3. PP Flight 4. Dumbo 5. HM 6. Space M 7. JC 8. Incredicoaster 9. ROTR 10. Shot with MM 11. Dinner at Golden Horseshoe (Walt’s Box) 12. Fantasmic! Hopefully can do this next year!
I would rank alice higher. It is a very fun dark ride and the recent refurbishment has improved it . I 100% agree with rise at the top. It is an experience that goes beyond a mere ride. What category would you use for the tiki room. It is always one of my favorite things to do, especially in the afternoon when it is getting hot and you have a dole whip in your hand
Hey DFB! I noticed you put Mission: Breakout as your Top 5! AWESOME! I am dying to go on that ride but I could never go to California cuz I'm only 15. But I'm not a huge fan of Tower of Terror here in Florida and I've heard that Disney is going to make it into a normal elevator. Guests will still the spooky experience but instead of the elevator dropping and rising so quick it's going to be like a normal elevator. And I've had some ideas for the Tower of Terror here in Florida! Like maybe making it into Mission: Breakout or have a separate campus for that ride like in California. OR They replace Tower of Terror with Ghostbusters! I know Ghostbusters isn't Disney-related but it's still a good idea! And guests will get to enjoy the Ghostbusters' theme song on the ride. But even still, I am dying to go to Disneyland AND DCA that would be the best experience of my life .The only negative comments I've received from Friends who've been to DCA is the parks' history and how old everything is. And the negative comments from Disneyland is that most of the rides are just classics and pretty much just "copies" from Magic Kingdom, but Disneyland opened before Magic Kingdom, so I'm not sure why I've received that comment abt Disneyland, but I would love to experience both Parks in California! AND Universal Studios in California, too!!
Spider-Man webslingers is one of the worst dark rides at Disney. I prefer alot of the ones you ranked under it over that ride. Also how is emotional whirlwind above Astro blasters?!
I absolutely adore when AJ goes rogue on a list like this and decides to just completely disregard what the team says. I have no interest in riding those canoes but you know what honey you do you!
Literally she’s so real
The teacups are AMAZING at Disneyland. I can leave them at Disney World but the Disneyland teacups are 10/10. Even if I don't get on, I love watching them and that whole area of the land is amazing.
I didn’t throw up. My biggest accomplishment yet.
i love how much personality this vid has. normally the voiceovers in these types of vids r super boring and uninteresting but this one gives the video a much more enjoyable and personable feeling :)
Yeah you can tell the people here actually care about what they are covering unlike channels like ms. Mojo
Hot take: if you don't go on Small World, you haven't really been to Disneyland - it's an essential part of the experience. Overall this is a solid list, although like many people, I feel Alice is way too low. If nothing else, the bit where you go back outside the show building is super cool.

Finally, I'd almost want the seasonal overlays ranked as separate rides - for example, the regular Mansion is a 10/10 - but to me the Nightmare Before Christmas version just isn't the same.
I would agree with that and I don’t even like small world
Top 10 scene I love at it’s a small world
1:the whole castle looks like real gold and white bricks
2:the look of the clock is kinda good but weird at the same time
3:I love the design of the dolls looks like but I like it better in Tokyo
4:some countries are missing and some of them are not that makes me help them
5:the hello scene is absolutely beautiful and love how the flowers looked like from Peppa pig
6:the clock parade is so beautiful I can’t even look away of the clock parade
7:at the finale all of them teamed up and singing it’s a small world
8:the sun at the finale was much better than the old one because the old one was kinda creepy
9:I always go there every Sunday
10:the holland dolls were kinda cute the girl ones were much cuter
Those are the top 10 small world scene that I love
I've been to Small World in Disney World. I hate it. Do I need to go in Disneyland still?
I agree with you on most of this, but I don't think I heard you right. You like the REGULAR haunted mansion over the christmas overlay?

Honestly, Star Tours > Millennium Falcon. I don’t wanna work on my ride 😂
By that argument, video games are work.
@@EightThreeEight by that argument, driving a car is a video game
@@Cajalco Not really. Driving a car is real. Flying the Millennium Falcon is obviously a simulation.
100% Star Tours is the better ride
Star tours has always been better

AJ, you did Alice DIRTY! 😂 Alice is arguably the best fantasyland dark ride. I said what I said! 😮
More than True!
i totally forgot it existed but i recently got back from disney and i really loved that ride !!
Yes Alice is way too low on the list!
Having Buzz Lightyear below Dumbo, Goofy’s Sky School, Golden Zephyr, Inside Out Emotional Whirlwind, Casey Jr’s Circus Train, King Arthur’s Carousel, Maters Junkyard Jamboree, Luigi’s Rollickin Roadsters, the Story Book Land Canal Boats, and Pixar Pal Around is insane.
Also, Alice in Wonderland is also incredibly too low. Alice in Wonderland is better than Mr. Toad, Snow White and Pinocchio in fantasyland, which is saying something because those 3 rides are really good.
Did I miss Splash Mountain? I know it’s no longer open, but it still deserves a spot on the list. 10/10.
fr
Yes Splash Mountain would be a 10/10.
Sad and shameful how Splash Mountain has been ignored and forgotten about.
Never forget Splash Mountain! Nor Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox, and Brer Bear! 🐰🦊🐻
I miss splash mountain, I didn't even know the back story of it until it was explained to me recently or even the IP it was themed too it was just a fun ride.
Love this video. Alice and Wonderland I think should be higher in the ranking
Mad Tea party is not just bout the spin
It’s the music/ sounds lights and visuals/colors
10/10!
I just got back from my first Disneyland trip! So much fun! I really liked that everything was so close together and that no transit was needed within the resort
For me I would recommend Autopia, It’s a Small World, Golden Zephyr, Grizzly River Raft, Monorail, Radiator Springs Racers, maters junkyard jamboree, big thunder , Davy Crockett explorer canoe, Matterhorn, Finding Nemo Submarine, Webs Slingers, Toy Story Midway Mania, Peters pan flight, jungle cruise, pirate’s of the Caribbean, Soarin
Happy to see a DL video instead of one on DW! Equal love for California!
In what world is Pirates below Mickey & Minnie's Runaway? Pirates is so superior on every single level.
W take, I'm sure MMRR is good, but pirates is timeless
I agree
So but pirates is better nostalgia wise but Mickey and Minnie’s new tech is so much better
I think the wait time for the Roger Rabbit ride should be mentioned. It's always forever long and never worth it. If the line is coming out of the building, don't get in line even if just one person is poking out. The line snakes forever inside and there is no escaping once you're in.
THANK YOU AJ AND DISNEY FOOD BLOG FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO. YOU GUYS ARE SOOOOOOOO AWESOME. This will be SOOOOOO helpful for me because I'm hoping to go to Disneyland sometime
It's a Small World is my favorite ride aesthetically. It has such a hold on my heart.
I love these vids, but I really gotta ask how the teacups and Alice's dark ride are lower than the off-the-rack swings in DCA? 🤔Any of the standard "carnival" rides in DCA (though fun) shouldn't be higher than one of the early ones in Disneyland. Don't go all Aunt Susan on us AJ 😄

Guardians of the Galaxy was definitely my favorite

And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all!
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all!
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
We had a family trip to DL when I was about 13-14 yo and my cousins who were about 20 took me on the teacups. I had been on it a few times before without problems. But they being experts, knew the fast cups and put me in a world of hurt. Kind of like your first alcohol, I can't go on them again, even at a slow pace. I don't think I've fully recovered.
I want Pal around to stay, but it's a solid 1. I would also switch Alice and Spiderman. Alice is awesome!
California resident here. Been to Disneyland and DCA countless times. Just recently went to WDW in FL and was blown away by Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind, Avatar Flight of Passage, and Tron. All 10/10 for me. Hopefully Disney gets copies made for our parks here on the West Coast!
Agree 100% with your review of Web Slingers. The intro is actually better that the ride itself. And by the time you figure out how to sling webs the ride is over. Hopefully this one will be drastically remodeled and improved.
I think Pirates of the Carribean is far and away the greatest Disney attraction ever. The intro is perfect, easing you into the experience, and you drop straight into it. You see the fallout and horrors of piracy in reverse order, but there is a fun to the whole thing
Hey AJ could you please make another video on all the rides In Disneyland but with the pros and cons like you did for the rides in Walt Disney World?
I get that Enchanted Tiki Room was not included as you likely see it as a show rather than a ride. But since they are all attractions rather than rides (with Mr. Toad’s notable exception), it should have been included. And scored as one of the 10 out of 10 for the theme and iconic nostalgia. It’s the one attraction I will not miss when in Anaheim.
It's not a ride period. Then you'd have to add other non-rides onto this list like Turtle Talk, Tom Sawyer Island, Sleeping Beauty Castle, Treehouse, Shooting Gallery, etc.
6:13 the goofy sky school ride is terrifying even tho it’s for kids not all kids should ride it because it feels like ur gonna fall off
8:56 the swings closed😢
9:35 one of my fav rides in the park
11:10 super cute animatronics and cute theme
11:49 we always skip that ride because me and my family rather ride a fast coaster then a slower ride
12:23 SUCH A FUN RIDE! i’m about to be a teen and i still love it this is the cutest ride to go on with ur family
13:11 the first time i was going to go on this is got shut down for a hour because someone threw up on it but super fun
14:14 idk why but i just didn’t like this ride
15:05 i hated this so much because i don’t like to be in the water or get wet so yeah
15:33 i love this ride when ur feet hurt and u can just sit down
16:25 i really like this one because u can see cute story themes
17:52 i feel the same
18:57 i have a huge fear of heights so yeah
19:52 idk i still will love this one
20:20 HOW DARE U NOT PUT THIS CLOSER TO THE TOP
21:30 i never got to. go on it but it looks good
22:24 that’s ONE OF MY FAVS
23:04 i’m so sad i didn’t get to go on it
23:53 SO SO FUN
24:43 meh should be a little lower on the list
31:45 this ride is so so cool
32:28 tbh this ride should be closer to the top
33:49 i don’t really like this ride but good ratings
34:39 YES JUST YES 🙌 👏
35:45 hyper speed? i didn’t know that part
36:21 OH HECK YAH
37:05 YUP 🙌
20:12 it’s rough, but that’s what makes this ride intense, scary and not boring at all. It’s not a basic coaster and somehow just funny.
DCA hands down Guardians of the Galaxy is our favorite. Disneyland tie between Rise of the Resistance and Pirates of the Caribbean
1. Pirates 2. Mattehorn 3. Spacemountain 4. Storyland 5. Haunted
3:47 doesn’t matter. The big difference is that you could do what you want. Drive the wrong way (track goes left while you’re steering to the right) for example. That’s a big difference which makes it way more fun than a lot of rides ranked a lot higher. My opinion but I’m not the only one.
Incredicoaster should be higher on the ranking!
At night time, Alice has a beautiful view of the lit up Tea Cups...and Story Book is so gorgeous at night time as well
Hello AJ and Crew! Great info of DL! VERY rare of you to hit on the West Coast....but, that is ok. We FINNALLY plan on a DL trip for Halloween 2024, at least 9 of us! We will be working on staying at GC as to just walk-in for their version of the Halloween Party....cannot wait! Thanks again for all the info!
I'm with you AJ!! After Haunted Mansion, Small World is one of my favorites!!!
t 5 1 Thunder Mountain. 2 Railroad 3 splash Still open as of today 4 gadgets go coaster 5 star tours
I would like to get the PDF script of this video. It will help on our first trip to Disneyland. Thank you.
AND I ride Dumbo to remember my daughters excitement 29 years ago when we rode it 13 times in one day
It’s all bout emotion
And Alice takes me back to days with my sister and the sensations when we emerged on the big leaf
OMG FINALLY THEYRE DOING IT!!! Can we all agree this is the best theme park in the world… rides n all
5:Big thunder 4: Space 3 tie for guarsians and cars racing 2: Splash mountain 1 incredicoaster
As someone who has extreme motion sickness and stresses out when in a vehicle that spins or has jerky moves, Astro Blast is my legit #1 ride. :P No spinning movements, it's an easy ride, and it's also a game featuring some of my fave Disney characters (sorry, Zurg, I may have to shoot you my next trip). I'm so glad it's still there, last time I went to Disney, I played it twice!
Here’s a fact: Break down and get stuck in just the right spot on Mr Toad’s Wild Ride and you’ll hear the audio from Alice In Wonderland. This is because Alice and Mr Toad are in the same building with Mr Toad being below the Alice ride!
Just a note: On Astro Blasters, you can make it spin as much as you want 😀 the points don't matter to me so I love to just spin away and enjoy the music and scenes! 😁 Way more fun than just the regular ride ☺
You are strange
WRONG Splash Mountain is #1. Yeah I get its undergoing a makeover but the ride itself is 8-10 minutes of glorious glorious ride. The line moves and you can fit this in 3 times in a day! The ride itself never presented anything controversial and the switch from story, to atmosphere to view of the park is amazing. Also, no lottery baloney. No 65-120 min waits! Just go and enjoy
Agreed, I was thinking that too
Tea cups is the best spinny ride like that. It's more like a 7/10. Definitely a must ride.
I think the most shocking ranking for me was Smuggler's Run especially considering what rides came directly after it. That's a hot take for SURE haha!
Buzz Lightyear Astro blasters is definitely in the top.
This was a super helpful video. I love that you gave each ride a score and included possible wait times.
Thanks for watching!
i now think silly symphony swings is a good ride because i found out it has onride music; one song i head was a familiar song that you might hear in a horse race
also correction: space mountain became smoother in 2005, not 2015
I think what’s so cool about Soarin’ around the world is that it can still bring back the original Soarin’ over California, even if it’s only for a limited time in the year
My top 5 radiator racers, haunted mansion during Christmas, smugglers run, storybook, and the little mermaid.
Space Mountain is definitely my favorite! the og though, not the hyperspace or ghost galaxy layouts
Yeah, I’m scared of the person to save with you
Here’s a drawback for Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters: If the ride breaks down but doesn’t get evacuated, the process of resetting the ride zeroes out your score. Also, rails rise up during a breakdown just in case an evacuation is required because the show scenes are on a lower level than the Omnimover vehicles, so the rails are there to prevent people from falling into the show scenes and getting hurt since it’s quite a drop if you fall down there. If the ride gets reset and starts moving again, the rails retract back into the floor
Thank goodness y’all made this video. We live in Georgia and go to WDW every year but have been to DL only once. We weren’t prepared and missed a lot of things there. Didn’t go to DCA. So excited to go in September of 2024. This video will help us be prepared.
We are headed there in a few weeks! Can’t wait
I love the DFB Crew but I have a bone to pick with this video. If the subject is to compare and rank Disneyland rides then compare them to each other, not some park clear on the other side of the country.
As a mom, I understand that soarin' is my favorite ride. 😉
I mean roller coasters I’m scared of roller coasters but I feel safe with you
Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride is absolutely insane
Out of all the rides I went on when I went to Disneyland, Small World had the shortest wait time
Lol, Jumping Jellyfish is both my kids' fave. I also think Roger Rabit is not worth the wait for how dull the ride is. You cannot even spin the wheels and the line cue is clostrophobic. Mr. Toad's is better and has less of a wait.
Why is Star Tours always so low on lists? Never a line and a great time. I go on it multiple times a trip.
Alice is what opened my eyes to Disneyland Park’s superiority to WDW Magic Kingdom
I was having a pretty low day at DCA one trip in 2014 and then it started raining! my sister and I hadn’t gotten to ride nearly as many rides as we’d like so we’d pretty much just resigned ourselves to eating chicken sandwiches in front of soaring over california (which needs to come back) and waiting for the water show. then we saw the goofys sky school had a really small line so we took a chance on what we thought was a kiddy ride. IT WAS SO MUCH FUN I’m much older than I was in 2014 but I love that ride so much more than most other rides either park
26:07 Wdym? Are you talking about the thing you sit in during this ride?
You lost me at Alice. Dont listen to this. Make Alice In Wonderland a priority.
I would also include the Main Street vehicles. Splash Mountain was/is my favorite. Always have to do Pixar Pal Around swinging.

You are the best. I love the ride. There may be no adult in kids. There are kids in all adults. Thank you for the video. Live long and prosper 🖖
Im always happy when you guys talk bout disneyland
I would rank alice higher. It is a very fun dark ride and the recent refurbishment has improved it . I 100% agree with rise at the top. It is an experience that goes beyond a mere ride. What category would you use for the tiki room. It is always one of my favorite things to do, especially in the afternoon when it is getting hot and you have a dole whip in your hand
2:54 here is where people are gonna start get mad at us. That’s why it’s called ‘’MAD’’ tea party. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Never been on Sailing Ship Columbia, so it’s one I really want to get on. Same with the Davy Crockett canoes.
Why no splash mountain?!
Hey DFB! I noticed you put Mission: Breakout as your Top 5! AWESOME! I am dying to go on that ride but I could never go to California cuz I'm only 15. But I'm not a huge fan of Tower of Terror here in Florida and I've heard that Disney is going to make it into a normal elevator. Guests will still the spooky experience but instead of the elevator dropping and rising so quick it's going to be like a normal elevator. And I've had some ideas for the Tower of Terror here in Florida! Like maybe making it into Mission: Breakout or have a separate campus for that ride like in California. OR They replace Tower of Terror with Ghostbusters! I know Ghostbusters isn't Disney-related but it's still a good idea! And guests will get to enjoy the Ghostbusters' theme song on the ride. But even still, I am dying to go to Disneyland AND DCA that would be the best experience of my life .The only negative comments I've received from Friends who've been to DCA is the parks' history and how old everything is. And the negative comments from Disneyland is that most of the rides are just classics and pretty much just "copies" from Magic Kingdom, but Disneyland opened before Magic Kingdom, so I'm not sure why I've received that comment abt Disneyland, but I would love to experience both Parks in California! AND Universal Studios in California, too!!
I loved your program! Thank-you!
OMG I can't believe Brea thinks Indiana Jones is not better than Dinosaur. NO CONTEST! The Indiana Jones experience is unmatched!!
Splash Mountain Forever!!!🎢🏔️🌊💦
this is genuinely a solid list
Little mermaid is fun 8/10 snowhite is boring 5/10
Gotta put Matterhorn higher on the list
If you ride the teacups with me your gonna walk off in about 30 different directions.
Spider-Man webslingers is one of the worst dark rides at Disney. I prefer alot of the ones you ranked under it over that ride. Also how is emotional whirlwind above Astro blasters?!
