Disneyland Holiday Update: Crowds and Manageable Wait Times!

[@Jessielovestarot]

You make me happy. Your disposition in life is refreshing

[@nicoleacosta5545]

Hello Dylan! I ate at Poultry Palace about a month and a half ago and it saved me! They had a chipotle seasonal offer that was absolutely delicious and helped my protein intake. Three decent sized drumsticks, good coleslaw and multiple sauce choices for under $12! The seasonal food was awesome. Thank you for the content. ❤❤❤

The loss of the Red Car Trolley at DCA is a travesty. It seems that every time Disney does one good thing (i.e., the improved Haunted Mansion queue), they do several bad things to make up for it (destroying MuppetVision 3D, canceling live entertainment in Avengers Campus, and ending shows at the Hyperion Theater and the Fastasyland theater.) 😢

[@Defender_messenger]

It is way too cold to ride Tiana’s. I love the ride and I will not be going on until it warms up 😂

[@uberjewish9466]

The birds chillin on the tinker bell line 😆

[@_M_M_3]

We like the Poultry Palace. The chicken box is pretty good, and the chimichanga. It's a good option on that side. 😊

[@neonxfirefly]

I'm very surprised your single rider at Matterhorn was only 5-10 minutes. I attempted to wait when it looked like that but I spent 15 minutes in the next area and moved like 2 people so I left after 20 minutes.

[@SoCalGuy20]

You like Space Mountain in Florida more? I don’t believe I’ve ever heard someone say that. You stand alone on that one. 😀

[@luccabucca]

Agreed Space Mountain in World reminds me of Matterhorn at Disneyland I hate it! Space at Land is wayyy better!!

[@jennifermcneil8349]

Omg, I didnt even think about the impact of the Olympics on Disney. That's gonna be something

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Yup. A lot of theme parks are going to be adding things in time for the games.

[@seanc0317]

So, are we getting the Poultry Palace first ever TPO taste test video soon?

[@prest0ncali]

A huge win for TDA for the 70th would've been if they brought back Aladdin (or even Frozen) at the Hyperion for the celebration.

[@SpeedyCrabbit1533]

Yeah, Disneyland 70th Nostalgia Anniversary

[@nicoleacosta5545]

This! ❤❤❤

[@jaysonpida5379]

The small, waterfall next to that BT tunnel-turn is still off.

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Should be on soon. I’ll be keeping an eye on it.

[@HauntinMatthew1969]

I saw you yesterday!! It was cool to meet you!!

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Always nice to stop and say hello.

[@bobbyimari7090]

Dillon... I ain't believing you.... I keep waiting for all these new roller coasters... 😂

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

They need a new one so bad.

[@johnsmi213]

Every time you say "Making my way..." I immediately think "...downtown, walking fast..."

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Same hahaha.

[@chriskneubuhl2557]

Hello Dylan David here. I’ve been at Disneyland fan collector for over 50 years. I thought you did a great job on your video and I always enjoy watching them. Just curious any word on the opening of the haunted mansion gift shop and do you have any thoughts about it? Look forward to hearing from you have a magical day.😊

[@emilyfink1185]

It’s interesting how sometimes space mountain’s speed can differ from one ride to the next. Years ago, I went on it back to back because there was no wait due to everyone having left because of a storm….and that second trip, with my cousin, we literally felt something was wrong with the coaster because how fast it was going! We got off pretty freaked out! ha ha ha

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Yeah it depends on the weight and sometimes when they change out the wheels. Or when it’s really warmed up.

[@Qrispy]

Guy who stood up on Splash looked like DJ Pauly D

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Maybe it was.

[@derradune6722]

Have you recently changed microphones?

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

It’s a new phone so I’m still trying to play around with the audio. Hope I didn’t sound bad

[@Jessielovestarot]

5:22 look lol

[@bobbyimari7090]

Dillon you're on the naughty list because you're always lieing about those roller coasters. 😅

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

That’s probably why haha

[@hekz27]

No one was screaming in Matterhorn..... weird

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Was a quiet ride. I had the biggest smile though lol

[@ulisestorres1122]

Hey Dylan and How was Tiana Bayou’s Adventure at Disneyland

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

It’s ok, could use some more money to fix some things but overall it’s ok.

[@ulisestorres1122]

@ what is your favorite part of Tiana Bayou Adventure Ride

[@MistCLaneous]

Looks like regular Haunted Mansion returns Jan18. Feels like a quick turnaround haha.

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Yeah I think they know people really want the OG back haha

[@WrytnFool]

Matterhorn is in desperate need of a retheming. This run-through (with no one talking or screaming/yelling), really accentuated how bare-bones the ride is. And while they're at it, rip out the entire track and replace it with a more modern system. You can put in a "dark", slow section, with modern animatronics, and still keep the roller coaster atmosphere.

[@nerdgurl402]

It’s deceptive because it’s the smaller drops before the big drop get you the wettest

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

That drop in the dark is the one that just destroys everyone haha

[@VelocicoasterFanboy]

Big crowds and low waits

[@Xtina9511]

We went Tuesday and crowds weren’t bad either longest wait was haunted mansion 50 mins. Tianas kept going down but it was only 35 mins. Space mountain was 40.. The shocker was Peter Pan at 20 mins

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

See when Pan has a short wait you know the park is going to be good that day.

[@Xtina9511]

@ exactly!!

[@gregramirez2935]

This may sound strange Dylan, but I’ve been bed written for five days due to my disability and I’m in so much pain and I just watch this and for some reason you gave me a big smile on my face for the first time in probably three weeks. Again people need to realize your KZbin channel and give you the hundred thousand you deserve. I like the way you tell it like it is by joking because you make me feel like not throwing up when you have these pixies that cannot see the truth like the mammoth KZbin channel. They get all these privileges because they kiss Mickey’s bootylike their latest video on their channel about the new cruise ship and make it sound as if they’re paying for it when Disney is paying for it. Thank you, for not being a pixie

[@gregramirez2935]

I’m sorry for all these comments, but can you explain to us Dylan why they took down the Rockets when it was so exciting when it was up there and you really felt like you were flying in the Rockets. Do you also think they may bring back the people mover because even though it was slow, it was fun and he gave you a little break from everything else. Do you think they will bring the less than minute ride that took five years to build at Disney World down here this rate is so exciting that I forgot its name.

[@samuel_gee3218]

Me and my girl saw u ! By grizzly but didn’t say hi cause we saw u recording

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Oh you could have said hi, I can always stop and reshoot a lot of things. 😊

[@samuel_gee3218]

@ next time we will I’m sure we will see u at Disney again

[@RionGreenhouseKit]

Where are those side gates at the end?

[@Jessielovestarot]

They put the baby in front why? Lol

[@eddieg6436]

DCA DESPERATELY needs another GOOD coaster! (Goofy doesn’t count).

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Yuuup! I have been crossing my fingers for a new coaster for so long! I still think they should have just cloned cosmic rewind and built it as our avengers E ticket instead of the 3D ride.

[@PuentesRE]

Fashion choices On Point Dude. But yeah, weather has been great, Imagine cool days for Xmas times. Like being cozy isn't important to the season. Crazy to think how much space is up there on Space Mountain. It always has confused me how all that is just not used. But I guess that is Tomorrowland for you, until one day, they make it truly cohesive and updated. Left Side Best Side for Matterhorn, even with square wheels. Nostalgia makes everything smooth. I do agree on why Tiana has gotten shorter lines. Socal peeps are pretty delicate, lol. Below 65 degrees and we are wearing parkas. Also, wtf, dude standing up. Just nope. That should lead to a serious talking to. Just like the one time, flash mountain happened as I was waiting in line with my younger cousin. Tsk. tsk. Opening anything before the Olympics.. well Disney has to show some truth in their plans. After so many years of slacking, it feels like it is okay to hold the leash firmly on what they say. Until they do the do. Love the pure experience in the vlog, from park to park. Dylan got the eye on the details that matter to how things go with the rest of us.

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

Appreciate the kind words near the end there. And yeah I hope Disney can meet that timeline for the Olympics. If they can get those two new avengers rides open in time for the games then that can set them up for some good crowds. But at Disney’s current pace who knows.

[@joshknoll5172]

I hate boarding groups. So annoying and obnoxious. I would rather wait on line than a random chance of getting on a ride.

[@gregramirez2935]

I’m sorry for all these comments, but can you explain to us Dylan why they took down the Rockets when it was so exciting when it was up there and you really felt like you were flying in the Rockets. Do you also think they may bring back the people mover because even though it was slow, it was fun and he gave you a little break from everything else. Do you think they will bring the less than minute ride that took five years to build at Disney World down here this rate is so exciting that I forgot its name. also, I was wondering, why did they take out the Malibu boomer that shot you straight up because it was a good ride. Are they gonna ever open another attraction at the Malibu boomer site because they could do another attraction there or do something similar to it.

[@justinakiefer8505]

Love the video and want some tips on starting a vlog channel for me and Michael are thinking of moving to Florida just us together someday and want to meet you some day at Disney land and Bashgarders in January and bringing a friend april

[@gridley]

Mentioning DisneySea makes me wince. In 2001, Tokyo got a Ferrari, Anaheim got a Chrysler. Oh, well. As for that faux mountain next to the Haunted Mansion, in 1989 it was a Mercedes. In 2024 it was rebuilt into a Kia. Better luck next time, Disney Co & Anaheim.

[@ThemeParkObsessionDD]

I miss Disney Sea so much. I can’t wait to go back.

[@ronthedrummer4240]

🎉🎉1st🎉🎉 🎉👍🎉🎉 🎉🎉100k 🎉🎉

[@gregramirez2935]

Are you sure Dylan that the reason is because it’s cold or maybe the real reason is because Tiana’s Bayou adventure is just plain lousy and always been breaking because the Imaginaire are incompetent fools

[@kentslocum]

Agreed. People will still ride Tiana's because it's something to do, but not necessarily because they love it. As proof, look at the fact that Disney opened up Standby for that attraction--because there wasn't enough demand to support Virtual Queue! 😊
