Riding Every Ride at Disneyland in One Day

Disneyland Park in Anaheim, CA is known for being a busy park, often with long lines and lots of visitors every day. My mom has been a fan of Disneyland for as long as I can remember so we decided to spend the day at the park for her birthday and to see if it was even possible to ride every ride in the park in one day. Over a full 14 hour day we were able to ride 29 rides, which was every available ride that day. It was a long day but a fun adventure. Let me know what your favorite ride is in the comments.

Your mom makes 66 look good. I'm 56, and I want to be like her in ten years! What a great day. And you are an awesome son!

[@allstar2709]

I’m 60 and my mom 72

[@_Dana_B]

Awww...how cool is that?!! Happy belated Birthday to your mom! It's so awesome that you spend quality time with your mom and Pops enjoying travels and creating memories. What a great son you are! 😁

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thank you so much!! I love going on adventures with both of them!

[@keithjohnson5398]

Bravo, looks like mom had a great time well until about the last rides, understandably so.

[@susancurtis7504]

Loved your mom! She was a real trooper. She smiled all the way. I need to put my feet up and I only WATCHED your video!

[@jasonschwab807]

Would love to see extensive California theme/amusement park coverage! Your vids are great! 👍🏼

[@donnaostrin545]

Aahhhh…what a nice son you are to have such a great day in Disneyland with your mom!! 💕It’s a memory I’m sure she’ll keep in her heart forever!

[@AndreaMc1970]

Loved this video! One of my favorites. Would love to see one on California Adventure! Happy birthday to your mom! She looks so young!

[@dalkurd1]

Finally someone showing all the rides. Always been curious about this. Hope you can do this with other parks as well. Love your videos. Congratulations to your cute mom ♥️ Stockholm, Sweden 🇸🇪

[@matthewbliven2795]

How cute is that. Happy birthday Mom!

[@rephaelrechitzky9763]

Happy Birthday Mom. Wishing you good health, happiness and success and keep on giving your beautiful smile. 🥰

[@manojprabhakar7951]

Happy Birthday, To Your Mom, and many more to come!

[@kasandraswan7057]

They forgot the matterhorn. They had a lot of fun . What a great way to spend a birthday.

[@LAAPmusic]

Your mom seems amazing, always has a smile on her face!

[@donnacox782]

Love every thing about this video. Happy Birthday to your beautiful Mom.

[@christinehoolihan4200]

Your mom's smile is making me smile.

[@stephaniewhite5644]

Happy birthday to your mom! I am 62 now so close to her age. I have been to Disneyland several times as a youngster, but the last time I was there was in the 1990s, with my brother and my husband. I remember when Pirates of the Caribbean opened and also It's a small world. But it really has changed through the years. Thank you for sharing this video and I enjoyed it very much!

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the comment and I am sure it has changed a lot since the 90s. I feel like it changes every time I go haha

[@robsantana1092]

Great Video!! Happy Birthday to your mom, what a trouper!!! She's Amazing!!! I assuming Matterhorn, Nemo Subs and Monorail were down. Other than that, 29 rides in one day is AMAZING!!!

[@patriciameyers8655]

Happy birthday Mom!! What a great video!

[@ponduforus]

Happy Birthday, Kathi! What an awesome way to celebrate Origin Day!

[@angelarose7221]

Your mom is adorable and you’re a good son!

[@debbic2055]

I’m 71 and will be there in a couple of weeks. I grew up in Anaheim in the 50s and 60s. I’m definitely a Disney kid and always have a magical visit.

[@martacruz1788]

Yes, definitely make more of these? First timer strategy is needed 🙂

[@nancycamaquin6648]

Wow! Josh, you are a wonderful son! Happy Birthday to your mom! Great birthday present spending time with her son. Major kudos, Josh!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Stirs a lot of wonderful memories going back 60 years.

[@castleinabox]

Happy birthday, mom!!!

[@redrightsue1346]

Thank you so much for this video! I so enjoyed being there, if only vicariously 🤩👍 ...and great tips, bc I too rather pay the extra $ for the Fast Pass. Now I know to do Rise of the Resistance first!

[@TheOCMarc]

HaHaHa so true… “thirty minutes of waiting; one minute of riding” 😂🤣

[@mandycanepandex13]

You two are adorable!

[@anermila6325]

This is superb! My family with a 7yo on tow will be heading there in a months time. This helps me to plan the rides (and what to skip!). Thank you.

[@sarahking2545]

Super helpful and fun video! Thanks for that and it looked like you both had a great time.

[@violetbf3773]

Come on Josh! Can your family be more awesome!!??!!!!! Happy belated birthday to your mom! 🎉🎉🎉

[@wendyk20]

Happy Birthday to your mom, she’s great!! ❤🎉

[@gerriousbel1089]

That was awesome ❤ The delirious part was hilarious 😂

[@lucyochoa2965]

How fun! What a great son you are! Belated Happy Birthday to your mom

[@eydienoteddie]

Happy birthday to your mom! This was a fun video and I would like to see something similar for DCA. Thank you!

[@stephaniebryant9199]

[@Gilbearrr]

Happy Birthday!

[@TammyHunt]

Yes please more of these and ❤ your mom 😊

[@BackroadExploits]

Happy Belated Birthday Mom! We finally get to see your Mom. What a trooper to go through all that and be smiling at the end of the day. I'm sure it was fun at first, but oh what a day! Congratulations on running the gauntlet for your son Mom, LOL. No I'd like to see you enjoying any trip with your Mom, not running her ragged. That said we know you had a good time and wow.

[@beverleyonajide4523]

😂MG…Josh… I love Mom just as much as Pops…mom and you were having way too much fun…so happy to see you making so many Fabulous Memories with your parents…I had a smile on my face the entire video. We need to see a road trip with the entire family…Amy…the twins…mom…pops and you would be Totally Awesome. TFS🙏🏽I can’t wait to see where we go next. Happy🎉Birthday🎂Mom…Enjoy🍷It!

[@californiathroughmylens]

Such a nice comment, really appreciate it! I am glad you enjoyed the adventure with my mom. A full family road trip would be crazy haha 😂

[@ericnakamura3634]

Impressive! Can’t believe you guys did 29 rides! Great fun birthday for your mom!

[@deborahroberts1854]

Great video! Spent my 65th birthday at Disneyland. I know your mom from CBU!

[@kellyjohnson3617]

I actually like Peter Pan. Lol. But my fav has always been the canoes. Not sure who you got as the canoe leader but I’ve always gotten aspiring stand up comedians. So it’s always good for a laugh. And I get violently sick at the fast and spinning rides so the canoes are more my speed.

[@jennyc1846]

OMG Kathi happy birthday for 2022 what an awesome son you have to take you there. Not my thing looked very commercial and the waiting times..did you add it all up. For the average family it must have cost big bucks..can you imagine lugging tired grumpy kids around through those crowds?? You were great Josh!! Didn't like the Dad jokes Kathi? Who would dare knock Pops he's amazing. Guess you have to be from the USA to be so enthralled?? But the big question is.....what's up for this year Kathi??? Congratulations on making it through all the rides. cheers from Western Australia

[@chicagofan7057]

Happy Birthday to your mom, I think she is a very cool lady.

[@JaniceStewart863]

Fun video! Happy birthday, Mom. I'm not a coaster person, so my favorite rides reflect that- Jungle Cruise, Carousel, Small World, Tiki Room, and the Railroad. California Adventure rides are so awesome, I'd love to see you do the same for that park!

[@justlookin3]

That was an adventure. Thanks for sharing it. You really do entertaining videos. Always informative, too.

[@kaimajones3539]

hi 😊😊 and welcome from new Zealand!! Disneyland is always a place I wanted to go to when I was young.. your video was a pleasure to watch xx

[@1231oreo]

So happy you both had a great time. Happy birthday to your beautiful mom. She does not look 66. She looks a lot younger. Just love all your videos on both channels. Stay safe.

[@ilovesparky13]

I haven’t been there in over a decade, so I can’t comment on the newer rides. 1. Jungle cruise 2. Haunted Mansion 3. Pirates of the Caribbean 4. Small World 5. Indiana Jones Honorary mention for Tarzan’s Treehouse, which isn’t a ride, but it’s one of my top favorite things to do. Plus it’s close to the Tiki Room and the dole whip 😋

[@thedogzoo]

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉

[@rosew861]

I love it 😍 I just missed u guys, I was there on Wednesday!

[@lindasolis7117]

Oh how fun- HA. I'll bet you were tired after all that. Happy Birthday to you mom.

[@patoman9147]

Great guide with times! Looks like you guys had alot of fun, thanks for providing some great tips!

[@yt6523]

I took Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride when I was eight years old in 1959 and I thought I was actually driving the car and I was so stressed out because I believed that I was destroying everything I came in contact with. But, it made it a memorable experience that has remained intact in my memory

[@markyuen2312]

Happy birthday to your mother, Josh. She's only 4 years older than me. It has been over 30 years since I've been to Disneyland and I must say, it certainly has changed since I've been there. So many rides I would like to try and throwing up while riding them.....

[@ingletr]

You left off Matterhorn, was it closed? It is the bumpiest of them all. Good job. DId you take treats and water? I can't believe you only did Dole Floats and a Hot Dog. Half the fun is eating at Disneyland. Now do a California Adventure all rides in one day please

[@missygee6155]

Happy Birthday 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 fellow libra! Looking good. Glad you enjoyed your special day with your son!

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for the birthday love for my mom and happy birthday to you as well if it is soon!

[@missygee6155]

@@californiathroughmylens thanks! It was last week

[@dianagroppa8971]

Happy birthday 🎊🎂🎈

[@chesabugg]

Tell your mom happy birthday!! She looks very young to be your mom!!

[@BrancyCDA]

That was great! Have been to Disney way more than I will ever know, since I lived in OC most my life and I am a few years older than your folks! I doubt that there are very many people who have been able to pull that off, so kudo's to you both! Disney is where my eldest choose to spend her 50th as well, did both parks in two days and rode most the rides, but it was January, so not as crowded as usual! Also, Happy Birthday to your Mom!

[@LalahniLeia]

Happy birthday 🎉

[@DovieRuthAuthor]

Happy Birthday, Mom!!! What a fun day. And yes, I was wondering about some of those rides in California Adventures. I’m so glad that Tower of Terror is gone. It about scared me to death.

[@californiathroughmylens]

Thanks for watching. Tower of Terror is a crazy one for sure!

[@WTABallers]

My favorite video of your entire channel! What a great gift to your mom that she’ll remember forever. How much did it all cost for ticket, fast passes and everything?

[@ModernMolliee]

Aw my mom and I are going to Disneyland this week!!

[@Tyoxy]

Super cool!

[@95in3rd]

This is so nostalgic for me. In the early 60's we lived in Sunnymead, next to March AFB. Dad was Air Force and once a year they had military night. $6 to get in. 6pm to midnight. All you can ride. Quite a day for us kids. Thanks for putting this up. (btw, I went with my mom too :-)

[@christikovach6394]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@craftergin]

I love this! But what about the Matterhorn, Monorail and Submarine?

[@zoerochelle]

That was fun!

[@Roadtosomethingnew1]

wow 29 rides in one day that's an incredible feat

[@vickiesweitzer8625]

What fun!

[@ednapuckett1042]

Happy Birthday, Mom! My daughter & I recently went to Disneyland. We didn’t ride every ride, but we rode a few ‘litter’ people rides as rode Peter Pan for the first time. I enjoyed it & will ride it again.

[@christophersmith5849]

wow how cool, i only got to do about 10 rides last week as it was so packed !!! even had Genie +, california adventure was no problem the day before

[@kjadiaheath1140]

This is really sweet

[@DaliaTutoring]

That’s quite an accomplishment! I went yesterday and got stuck in the front of Splash Mountain and was soaked! I’m surprised I didn’t end up with Disney pneumonia 😂

[@noeonoohno4219]

Moms with the granola bars every dayyyyyy

[@peterprice8813]

My Foster brother Sean went to Disneyland for his birthday but we didn’t get to go on all 29 rides my! My favorite 🤩 rides at Disneyland are splash mountain 🏔 pirates 🏴‍☠️ of the Caribbean space mountain 🏔 and Indiana Jones! Tell your mom I said happy 66th birthday to her.

[@mexiaznann]

This is sooo cool!! I loved this video 😂😂 was Autopia, Matterhorn & the Finding Nemo subs closed??

[@roderick.t]

Hello 👋 to Josh’s mom!! 😊

[@prowrestlingisart6742]

Happy Birthday to your mom! So cool you got to spend the whole day together. I definitely could not do that many rides in a day. If you need tickets in the future I have comp tickets. Btw why dont you like Pinocchio?

[@erinmoriarty1060]

Great Tips! Did u find you had to zig zag across the park to acccomplish this?

[@keithjohnson5398]

I once met one of the girls who sat on one of the rocks on the submarine ride. That ride had a 39 year run before it was closed due to its cost to run & its small capacity.

[@cmooso]

What about the Nemo submarine ride? Did I miss that one... Maybe it was closed?

[@davidnewhouse9403]

I’m thinking a road-trip to a dude ranch for pops birthday!?

[@ANonyMouse627]

"Winnie the Pooh ride is like being on psychedelic drugs." xD

[@shane5110]

This was cute.

[@junesacting]

I'd love to go to Disney more often but don't know a lot of people that have the time to go with me. Tell your mom I'll meet her there anytime

[@mixeddrinks8100]

The amount of Peter Pan, Pinocchio shade... love it. Indiana Jones is still one of my favorite rides after all these years, supposedly going away? I have to say a lot of the rides are time waster that are wonderful for season pass holders but waste of money for people who are spending 1-3 days. Must say Galaxy's Edge revived my interest in Disneyland.

[@slowslug3247]

Which one are the time wasters? I will be going for the first time and would like to plan ahead

[@2011woodlands]

Every time i have been to Disneyland or World, or Epcot, it's always in the summer at it's hottest, so the waiting in the sun at the different attractions really sucks the life out of you, the humidity in Florida is worse than California for sure.

[@JeremyBechtold]

What about the finding Nemo submarine ride?

[@josephmartinez8803]

Why was the Materhorn, Monorail, and Submarine ride left out??

[@alexandram5808]

This was cute

[@jenmiller9744]

Where do you put your backpacks when you're on the rides?

[@lynsieholt6903]

And you should have gone on the in credit coaster

[@chuckwalla2967]

Can't believe how much money they charge for some of these antiquated rides.

[@dianagroppa8971]

How long did it take you guys to do 29 rides? I went on a Tuesday before Christmas a few years back and we only got to do 3 rides in 8 hours. It was a zoooo…. Never again. 😬

[@californiathroughmylens]

We started at 8 AM and were done by like 8:30 PM. It was a long day but it was a "slower" day in the park haha

[@임진영]

👍👍👍

[@lynsieholt6903]

I just went to that disineyland last time I was so sad when I had to leave 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢

[@markrussell.]

Am I the only one who thought there were more than 29 rides at Disneyland I've lived in Los Angeles all my life and I thought there was a heck of a lot more than that there.

[@ilovesparky13]

I noticed that the Matterhorn wasn’t mentioned. Is it still around?

[@californiathroughmylens]

There were like 3 rides that were closed for refurbishment - Matterhorn, Nemo submarine and the boat over to Tom Sawyer Island. They are redoing Toon Town too. But this is all the rides available the day we went

[@markyuen2312]

Psychedelic Drug trip???? Josh......how would you know what that felt like? Does your mother and father know this??? Hmmmmm???? :-D

[@kayb9096]

What day of the week did you visit and where did you stay?
