You’re the #1 Disneyland KZbin channel

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

Thank you for the kind words. It means a lot!

[@kurtrichardson-wv8yk]

Absolutely

[@dariangerardo2]

i agree!

[@danib3929]

💯

[@paultidd]

He's definitely the most informative, especially if you are traveling with young kids. Not many Disney KZbinrs talk about the experience as a person with kids. Most of them are coming at it from the "Disney Adult" perspective. So, it's a nice change. He also packs a crazy amount of information into such short videos.

[@Sandiastef]

We don’t talk about our money saved in dollar amounts, we say how many more churros we can get. “ I found a cheaper flight. That’s 5 churros!” 😂

[@oliviaorduno7270]

My kids beg for "disney dad" videos every night bedore bed! Lol your tips are so helpful!

[@beckyg5220]

They are absolutely very helpful. 😊

[@joephillips5594]

Still watching! Your Disney channel is the best out there but it has taken me two years of watching lots of the channels to realize it. Keep doing what you're doing!!

[@MichelleRowe-qm7yd]

Hey Traver, we still watch all your videos. Right to the end. Your info is very helpful.

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

Much appreciated! Fun fact: only about 30% of viewers make it to the end of a video (that’s just a KZbin average across all channels). So it’s always great to see who stuck with it! Thank you!

[@jennydunbar967]

Wow really! You will have to start including bonus tips at the end!

[@kamahina943]

Still watching! Also wanted to agree, best western park place inn’s location just can’t be beat. We only stay there since it’s easier with our littles to be so close to the park.

[@trishellis4553]

We are coming for the first time in June. We have always been Disney World people but we moved to the west coast and so our kiddos will have Disneyland childhoods. Your videos have been so helpful! Especially making sure that there is enough Disney magic in Disneyland and that some prefer it and I love that this is where it all began with Walt actually walking the streets. Thanks for your videos!

[@maiyang1987my]

Still watching. I'm 3 weeks away till my trip. Yay!!

[@jackhale2694]

As an Aussie fella taking a trip to USA, this was bloody helpful, thanks mate !

[@kfetter9046]

STILL WATCHING! Your video is fantastically packed with great info that the average visitor really needs to know, whether this is their first time or not! Way to go Trever! 😄👍👍👍🎠🏰

[@julieschooler]

Thanks, super helpful! Always watch to the end. I have to say if I had not watched your videos we would have had a really hard day at the park. With all your help we navigated a very busy park day with Genie+ and some middle of the day downtime really well. It was a massive, magical day and we couldn’t have done it without your vlog.

[@ritagraceatmajian7304]

I watch your videos and take notes to convince my mom to take me to Disneyland! Thank you for your helpful tips!

[@BrianShipman-mj8fo]

Thank you for the awesome tips! Love your content!

[@PursuingPeace]

Still watching! We love your videos! Thank you for providing so much clear info!

[@NicoleLawson-tt5fi]

These videos have been such an amazing help. Thank you 🙏

[@hsayer3694]

I watched ‘till the end! Thanks for all of your videos!! Going to Disneyland soon and your advice, tips, and tricks are VERY appreciated! 😀😀

[@3drage]

The best thing I like about grabbing a nearby hotel is that if you're an overplanner....you already know what items you want to buy from shops. So you pick a time during your trip and grab everything you're looking for and head to the hotel. Drop it all off and then you don't have to worry about carrying a bunch of stuff with you or paying for a locker. Side benefit is that all your shopping is done and you can focus on all the other wonderful things.

[@Eddunaway-fl3rk]

Hey Trevor are you a padres fan how long does it's take to drive from San Diego to Anaheim

[@PixiesticksAndSunsets]

[@shepardcommander6583]

My family loves your content! I get through every video of yours, like 99% of the time at least. I honestly love longer videos, just love getting that Disney fix between park visits from AZ. I enjoy how you just give your honest opinion and all your videos are super helpful and fun.

[@carrierichardson6903]

[@blankbb200]

The water cup tip is just amazing

[@tgmackie]

Really appreciate videos like this. I will be driving down from Canada in a few months so this is very informative.

[@candacestone4049]

Still watching. Thanks for the videos!

[@Krystell414]

Still watching! I’m learning so much!

[@christianbank393]

Great informative video. I learned most of this stuff from watching a bunch of other videos before my trip, but this is a nice consolidation. All this stuff helped me have an amazing single day at Disneyland. Interesting about the "off-season" not existing anymore.

[@kaylaheron3d]

Still watching, great tips to rewatch and remember 👍

[@melissagarcia9058]

Still watching! So helpful

[@EstellaWilsonCreations]

[@alanamello303]

Still watching!! Best Disneyland channel 😍

[@Vernonica72]

Still watching! Love all of your informative and entertaining videos 😊

[@lisabostrack24]

Still watching. I made the mistake. Went in February for my birthday. My niece and Sister were with me. Disneyland was closing at 8. We had no clue why. It was the Sweetheart night. And they actually wouldn't let us shop. It was are last night. My niece was looking for a certain ring. She was so upset. We did find it at the Grand Californian store. It's definitely a mistake I won't make again.

[@Sean-uh6te]

Thank you for the video

[@joeyiding6665]

Still watching... our trip is 2 weeks away and we're SO excited!

[@GAgirl]

Still watching! I really enjoy your videos. The ride guides were my first ones that I watched.

[@pixiepinkcrystalsrosetta7027]

Always watching. I never rent a car, just an EVC for my mobility issues. I'm more comfortable staying on site for that reason alone. There's always room for my ECV, and I don't have to worry about how I'm getting to the parks. The early entry and other extras for us are a great value too. Keep up the great work! 👍

[@kimberlymccloud6742]

Still watching and enjoying

[@rebeccapowell2391]

Still watching! My husband and I are going in a few weeks & all your videos have been soooo helpful!

[@alejandrovaldez2620]

Still watching!!! I love all of your videos, we are getting prepared for our upcoming trip. We enjoyed a lot your rope drop strategy videos. Do you have anything such as night / closing time strategy?

[@dorar1258]

Thank you so much! This is so helpful! God willing, we'll be going to Disneyland and DCA in December. We haven't gone in like 15 years and now me and hubby are blessed to be able to take our 2 boys! Thankful for your videos! I already subscribed ☺️

[@toshibavoodoo]

[@naidelynsibaja587]

Still Watching ✍🏼 Thank you for your content!!!

[@darrenbugelly9695]

Still watching 👍 Love the vidoes and watch everytime they drop getting ready for our August trip. Easily the best disney youtuber, to the point and love the fact it caters for those that have kids. My kids are roughly the same age so can relate to everything.

[@SoCalSurfer69]

Always watch to the end!

[@angelas_adventures]

We love getting photos from the Disneyland photographers and only ever do 3 days so only myself purchases genie+ for the 3 days (family of four, 1 and 3 yr old now) so we have full access to magic shots from the photographers and the magic lenses which is our entertainment while waiting in line and the photos we get are amazing. I have purchased genie+ for 6 days and never actually ever used lightning lane

[@gayladawn4329]

Thanks for satisfying my Disney craze when I can’t be there

[@sandin6689]

👍👍aaaaalll the way to the end...very helpful

[@lilacacia]

Still watching! Just found you and I’ve been obsessed. Your fam is too cute and your info is awesome! Even tho I visit DL 2x a year.. I like to hear others tips and tricks! 😊

[@lisal9179]

Still watching. You make the best informative Disneyland videos for families with kids. Hope you can someday make similar videos for Tokyo DisneySea/land, Paris, etc someday

[@samham895]

Thank you for the tips! If you’re planning to stay open-close, but not staying at a hotel, do you have suggestions for where to take an afternoon relaxation break inside the park?

[@michaelmacias9880]

#1 mistake NOT researching SoCal Disney Dad! Thanks for the tips bud 👍 it really helped our Disney experience 🏰

[@angelaleek]

Still watching. Coming in sept thanks for the info

[@ashleysanchez5063]

Staying off property saved over $1,000! We took your advice and stayed at candy cane inn and loved it there!!

[@superbucko8640]

Still watching haha. I always watch all the way to the end.

[@johnemmanuelcruz4541]

Hi! Ever since we planned going to Disneyland this May I watched your videos for tips and tricks in the park. Your Genei+ video with real time using it really helped alot. I'm hoping to get help on planning to go around. But first I'm having our daughter do the bibbidi bobbidi boop around 8:10am. thank you.

[@Coast2Coast88]

Of course, still watching! My biggest mistake is waiting when a ride breaks down because I don't want to leave my place in line 🙂‍↔️ then realizing I wasted time!

[@SoCalDisneyDad]

I should have put that one in here! 🤦🏻‍♂️ It’s worse on Rise as you’re stuck for 45 minutes minimum.

[@deejaymikej]

Still watching. Lol. You guys are great!

[@julianne1629]

23:49 still watching! ❤️

[@user-ur7nx5hh9j]

Travor! Your videos are so helpful. We are flying in to LAX and wondered what is the best car/shuttle service to use? Last time we came we did a Lyft or Uber but wondered if there was a better option. Thank you!!

[@kdoj4434]

Hey Trevor- Learning so much for your videos! If staying on property and planning to ropedrop, what time do you recommend arriving at the gate? Thanks 😊

[@Rage867]
