How CROWDED is Disney California Adventure in June 2024?

[@PigalPalomo]

My family and I are going to Disneyland in 5 days! Almost every single night we have watched your videos on universal studios and Disneyland, we are doing a 7 day vacation in LA. We are from Montana, so we have watched all of the saving money videos! You have been the BIGGEST help for us to have a nice fun trip! Thank you Travor! We appreciate it!

Piloting on Smugglers Run with my sister was one of my favorite memories at Disney! We ran into the queue like 1 minute before park close, didn’t have any engineers, and got the worst score my sister has ever seen (and she works in the parks so she goes a lot) 😂😂 I was the right pilot and I guess I wasn’t paying attention when I was supposed to press the launch button, so we just sat there drifting in space for like 10 seconds until my sister yelled at me to push the button lol

[@DiscoverGuy]

As a Floridian, I was surprised that the wait times for WDW, Universal Orlando, and Disneyland were all increased on the first day of summer.

[@jimenaarmendariz6606]

I love being pilot in smugglers run but if I get to be either engineer or gunner, I’ll just sit down and relax, eventually pushing buttons

[@sarab6415]

Hi Traver! Love your content 💕

[@jenniferbrixey9912]

Love your Dad humor! We're visiting next week and appreciate the update.

[@disneylandlux]

I love the engineer - I put it on auto pilot and laugh the whole time. It’s so fun to be an observer on that ride.

[@Jay_Want]

22:12 people blocking the lighting lane entrance. smh...

[@AreuisTheDemon]

I was here 3 days ago and can confirm the information in this video is true!

[@Sean-uh6te]

Thank you for the video

[@susanhill4212]

Thanks for the definition of POG. That does sound delicious. Hope it’s still there next wk!

[@rosasaldana4531]

My family of 9 is going to Disneyland the first week of August and I've been constantly watching your videos to learn money saving tips and how to use the genie+ . Any change you could do to video for those of us with a none even number of people in our group? Thank you and you are the best!

[@justdoit4317]

Well i am exited to be there at Disneyland this coming next week on Tuesday and we about to do so much fun which is I am honor to have this experience

[@michaelc9999]

I have a feeling DCA and Disneyland is gonna be super packed for July 4 weekend that’s my guess. Hopefully they have something special for it. Also tell James I said happy birthday.

[@audreyurbano6675]

Hi Traver ! Disney just recently announced the Lightning Lane Multi Pass.. I was wondering if you can elaborate that for us

[@rhondaavila1936]

Love your videos they help me so much. I've only been to Disneyland once and I'm planning a trip for myself and my hubby for his bday surprise on the 25th-26th of July. What tips do you have for couples going to Disneyland and California Adventures? How do you plan to get the most out of the trip? We are doing one day at California Adventures then the next day at Disney. Thank you

[@hick66259]

love the channel keep up the good work

[@KaycieLynnn]

I have only been on smugglers run once and was an engineer. A sweet little girl (maybe 5) was one of the pilots so I had plenty of buttons to push! Lol however I was so motion sick that I was just trying to not throw up (or die I kinda thought I was going to die) 😂

[@ishady27]

Just came to Disneyland and DCA 17-20 June after our visit at 2022 (the pandemic), soo much fun, we rode ALL the rides in 2 days. The most fun in DL was Rise of the Resistance and in DCA it's Guardian of the Galaxy. We are 9,000 miles from Anaheim so it was worth it. Anaheim was hot at noon altho windy in the morning and evening. 😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉

[@lisabostrack24]

Crowds don't bother me too much. Thank goodness. Unless you only have 1 to 2 days. Then yes. My Dad and I love Pog juice. Sometimes you can find it in the stores as well. I have never tried Disney's.

[@Bekahrama]

I'm curious - what do you guys do (if anything) for an afternoon break when you're not staying at a hotel? I personally lay down in my car, but I don't have kids.

[@mrswhite808]

2:25 that’s insane. My son could never tolerate that even with his DAS.

[@rickroberts4848]

Hey Traver i have a video idea for ya, can you discuss the different anual passes? Cost? Options? Whats the math to make it worth it? Its only good for disneyland? Hidden fees? I think you renew them? Pay monthly? Discounts?

[@hollybabyyy]

Can’t believe this time last year i was planning for my trip😢

[@audjusushi]

Traver, I saw videos of Pride Night and it looked SO fun! Would you go next year and breakdown the food/merch offerings? My family and I want to go so bad but we've already planned our once a year trip for September... But maybe if an expert chimes in on how "worth it" after dark events are maybe I can convince the hubby?

[@tonjacolors]

I’m happy with engineer because I can watch more of the screen. Gunner is fine too but I just don’t want to be pilot. Too much pressure. 😅

[@tonjacolors]

Our last ride we had two little girls as pilots and us engineers were BUSY 😅

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

😂

[@newworldastrology1102]

Wonder if that was taken from “Jumping Jellybeans, Batman!” Or am I just dating myself…

[@leeaustin3166]

i said in my head wonder the odds he’s here today and just like that u were same day

[@matthewmeyer2290]

Can you still change your genie plus once the window to return opens if the thing your doing before runs over? I’m aware if the slot runs out you lose it.

[@HaleyFlood-fo1ll]

Man that is hot 🥵 113 degrees stay cool this summer it’s gonna be so hot 🥵 my home got up 91 degrees today

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

@@HaleyFlood-fo1ll That’s the hottest I’ve ever seen June. Back in 2015 or 2016. It was only 85 the day I filmed this, or thereabouts. But even that was toasty for June. Usually it’s a little more mild. We don’t tend to see those temps until July.

[@princegroove]

Noice! I’ll be there on July 7th.

[@michaelc9999]

Same

[@gemmarodriguez5124]

19 days for me 🫶🏻

[@erichirschmann]

Would you recommend rope dropping Guardians or wait about an hour like you suggest for Rise?

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

@@erichirschmann There’s no hard and fast rule there. But Guardians does tend to have a slightly higher wait at rope drop on DCA early entry days because it’s the only major attraction open. After Radiator Springs Racers and Toy Story and the like opens it spreads out more. But nothing quite has the effect that Rise does. RSR itself is like Rise in a way, but that line only gets longer and never shorter. I’m not sure what causes them to differ. It could be the proximity in that Rise is deep in the park away from everything else and RSR is more centrally located. So you have people targeting Rise at rope drop, but afterwards, people are just doing their thing and will get there eventually. Whereas RSR always has people moving through the area and hopping in line. But Guardians should stay low for at least 30-60 minutes in the AM.

[@erichirschmann]

@SoCalDisneyDad I really appreciate the response! Love your work and really enjoyed your DW series. Thank you!

[@jbchristi]

Hi, can you please tell me if it’s worth spending more money to purchase tickets to visit Disneyland Friday - Saturday at the end of July, versus Tuesday - Wednesday to avoid crowds?

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

It’s hard to say for that week. Tuesday/Wednesday will still fall under the discount tickets that they are offering right now which might make it busier, but sometimes the weekends are still busy. Saturday might be better though because I think only the highest level of magic key holders can get in which might make it pretty manageable. Can’t really guarantee either way.

[@jbchristi]

@@SoCalDisneyDad Thank you so much for the feedback, my family and I are binge watching your channel to help us prepare for our visit! Thank you for all the content! How about a video on the cleanest bathrooms for us crazy clean freaks with small children? 😁

[@RebeccaScott-f3m]

Hi, we are going to Disneyland the week of July 29th for 4 days. I am wondering if you think Monday July 29th or Friday August 2nd will be the better day to add to the middle of the week? I can’t decide.

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

Friday will probably be busier in the evening, but might be slightly less busy in the morning. Whereas Monday will probably be busier in the morning.

[@RebeccaScott-f3m]

@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you

[@iishaharris1839]

Is there a show yet that is replacing Frozen? We really enjoy these videos!!

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

@@iishaharris1839 We had Rogers last year for 2 months. It was better than Frozen. Perhaps better than Aladdin, though Aladdin was awesome so hard to say. But they’ve made no efforts to replace it.

[@iishaharris1839]

@@SoCalDisneyDad oh wow, we thought Frozen was amazing, so it must of been really amazing!! We are coming in 2 weeks from NZ, so we're very excited!

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

@@iishaharris1839 I really enjoyed Frozen, but Aladdin before it was better (to me). Rogers was absolutely fantastic. Just wish they had kept it around.

[@sophiadoll4793]

Are the pass holders only blocked during the summer? So if I go during September or October all season pass holders can come into the park.

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

@@sophiadoll4793 That is correct.

[@sophiadoll4793]

@@SoCalDisneyDad thank you, are the crowds just as busy as you thought for June or more or less busy.

[@darkandstormymama]

I hate watch this channel. Technically the information is useful if it's fact based. But the reviews are always Luke warm and the attitude is generally "meh" and way too short line focused. I really wish there were any disneyland vloggers that were excited to there, giddy for the atmosphere and truly loved being there as much as I do. I realize he represents a vast majority of disney customers and he definitely produces high quality videos. I just wish it had a more positive tone most of the time. Ps. I wish the kids were not put on camera and forced to participate either but their not my kids, it's just sad what the internet can do to a child's image.

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

@@darkandstormymama I love being at Disneyland. And I have had absolutely amazing food that I gush about (the POG Punch at the beginning of the video?). But I absolutely do also tell it like it is. No camera face or lies. Nothing fake going on here. If something is bad, I’m going to say it is. I’ve seen enough vloggers ooo and ah about a food item or drink on camera and throw it away off camera telling their friend it was gross. That’s not me and it never will be. As for the kids, I don’t force them. In fact, I usually opt to leave them out of it for the large majority of the time. They featured a little more prominently in our last food video only because the previous food video I got hate because “I wasn’t feeding them” or “letting them have any” just because it wasn’t on camera people believed it never happened. But mostly I do tend to leave them out unless it’s intended for them to be a part of it, and they’ve never expressed a desire to not be on camera or I wouldn’t do it at all.

[@darkandstormymama]

@SoCalDisneyDad they are uncomfortable being put on the spot every time, but again, they are your kids, your life. You see it one way because you have a biased view of your content. I'm speaking as a viewer of that content and it doesn't read to everyone the way it reads to you. "Telling it like it is" is doesnt have to be so abrasive either. I'm saying your constant negativity is a bummer to watch for someone who simply doesn't feel that way about disney that you do. You do have *some* content that really is useful and I do watch your videos even though it usually ends up with me venting to my husband about it afterwards. Being on the world wide tube means you will get criticism for things you do that rub people the wrong way, it's just how it is. Just be happy you get my ad revenue because I've binged most of your content even though it isn't always enjoyable for me and my specific needs. I don't expect you to love everything, it just gets really old watching you not like anything. Liking juice you can buy at almost any grocery store (at least in vegas) isn't really a disney specific experience. I appreciate you taking the time to respond to me line by line though.

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

@@darkandstormymama And I appreciate the feedback and the reply as well. Thank you! I will keep it in mind and see if I can put a more positive spin on things. I will give you a heads up, though, Friday’s video is all about going to Disneyland and ignoring everything I preach here on the channel. So that means waiting in long lines, ignoring wait times, ignoring the app in general. And that leads to some frustration at times. 🤣 But I feel like we still had a really fun day, and I do hope that comes across in the end.

[@outofabox83]

Buy okay boogie tickets for the first night you're doing and that's really cool to see you too worse and you should buy tickets for the gookie pokey pato New World Disneyland I mean
