We love theme parks, and we love to travel! We're here to share our travel and theme park experiences so we can share what we loved, and maybe what you should consider skipping. Come along as we visit Disneyland and discover new and lesser known parks and travel destinations, all while eating the best foods along the way.

Those cast members are so awesome. When I was there November 2022, I saw the Loki actor who was giving autographs talking in sign language to a deaf girl. What a guy.
Piggybacking on the cast members and theming are definitely the meet and greet characters! Whether it has been in the parks or on a Disney Cruise, meeting the characters for us has always been so much fun-the interactions are top notch.
With the picnic areas, Lagoon lets you bring in your own food, coolers, blankets, events tents for free and you can set it up and leave it unattended all day. They are the only theme park I’ve been to that lets you do this, it’s great!
You should have covered the family rides more - Lagoon has a huge selection of rides in the center that are well themed, and the whole family can ride together. I'm glad you had fun!
Hello, here is a follower from Mexico who also loves visiting Disneyland (my next visit is in less than three weeks). How great to hear from others that they have received this souvenir, I in particular was given it right in December after the pandemic, I visited the park for the first time alone, my mother had recently passed away and I needed my personal time (my mother loved it too the park), so I decided to bring typical Mexican sweets to give to the CMs who were greeting me and I gave each one a note of gratitude for preserving the park and bringing it back after the closure due to the pandemic. And there I was finishing eating and a group of three friendly CMs walked by and one of them saw me rearranging my sweets to continue giving them away and he asked me if they were cookies and I told him no, that they were sweets and that they were actually for them. and I invited him to take one and tell his companions to come get one and they did. A few minutes later they returned with a manager who greeted me and presented me with the gift and told me that they knew that all day I had been giving sweets to their colleagues and that they wanted to thank me. It was something very special for me and one that I will never forget. The rest of the day became even more magical. I send greetings to all of us who are proud Disney Adults! :) And yes, the CMs are the real magicians at the park!
Never have had a funnel cake at Lagoon, but my family enjoyed splitting the cookie dough funnel cake at the Hungry Bear on our last Disneyland trip. It all depends on what you like on top (fruit, cookie pieces, whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, etc). I’m glad Lagoon was an overall positive experience. It was a great “starter” park for my daughter to try out at age 2 to see if she liked amusement parks (and she did) before taking her to Disneyland and later Universal Studios Orlando.
The portions of beer and food are big, that’s always a plus!!! The rides like amazingly fun… btw thank you guys for all the Disneyland vacation tips, they came in handy when we went!!!
You definitely get your money's worth of food and drinks! And glad to know our Disney tips came in handy! Stay tuned and we'll have more Disney stuff coming as the summer moves along.
My friend and I took my seven year old granddaughter and her seven year old son and it was magical. Their photoshoot together after their transformations was soooo cute. (She’s 12 now and not interested in doing it again). Luckily I have another seven year old granddaughter who I’ll be taking this September. ❤
Such a bummer it’s not like it used to be. I saw another video from like 5 years ago and it was $109 for 3 hours with lunch a pin with you name and a metal pin with some writing and a pic of Walt. Looks like they also went on rides as well. The experience still sounds worth while but less quality
Yeah, seems like Disney doesn't offer the same value it used to across the board, but it was still a fun experience and I would even consider doing it again.
We have our Star Wars night passes on May 9 and I’m prepping to maximize our time, if they let you in at 6 PM, would you guys recommend riding some rides so that way that is out-of-the-way when 9 o’clock rolls around? Or not at all the rides.? I thought if there’s no Star Wars things going on, someone might be able to pick up a smugglers run or something
If the lines are short, I'd say go for it before the event kicks off because you'll want all the time you can get for the event specific activities when they start.
When my daughter was little she loved wearing Disney Princess dress ups, but hated having her hair styled up. She would patiently sit to have face paint done, but wanted it completely washed off after a couple of hours (so we would only have it done at places offering face paint for really cheap or even free). At our local city summer festival, they offer free nail painting from the city’s local princesses and have also done 2 paid princess tea parties in the past that includes snacks, receiving a tiara, a craft, dance party, and a printed framed photo, but have never done a full Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique experience. My daughter didn’t ever want to dress up in the Disney parks themselves, even when seeing other girls all dressed up and won’t even wear a Minnie Mouse ear headband. On our Disney cruise she had a ton of fun just getting “Dixie dusted” (which is free) and always loves doing any meet and greet with the Disney Princesses, but just hasn’t wanted to do more than that. However, I think any kid who would love such experience should do that as a special treat if possible.
Doesn't mean that spots aren't still available. Also, check in person for a walk up spot and see if a cast member can find an opening. Refreshing the app on the daily can work too because people do cancel reservations
@@RTDAdventures understood, someone that watches your video may turn it off, if they think it's girls only, why limit your views. You do mention an option for boys later in the video.
Thank you! This will be helpful. We’re going in a couple days. I have a couple questions: I have a double sided light saber I’ve been debating to bring, would you recommend bringing it or leaving it at home? Also do you have any info about lines for merch at dok ondar’s? How long are the lines? Thanks! It looks like you guys had such a. Great time there! 😊
If you're able to bring a lightsaber, especially an LED saber, then I'd 100% say yes. It's a ton a fun to have one lit up after dark, but it is a bit cumbersome to carry around if you're not using it and can get in the way of doing some rides. Also keep in mind that it counts as your carry on if you're flying, so you'll have to take that into consideration since it likely won't fit into your luggage unless you're paying for a fairly large one that goes under the plane. Dok Ondar's isn't any busier during the event since the merch is the same during regular hours (though your experience may vary) and the lines are generally pretty short except for some of the meet and greets. Hope this helps! Have a great time at the event!
We went in June last year for my eldest 7th Birthday, so she had a Birthday Button ( a couple actually). She had so many CM's and characters at the parade (Elsa and Anna!) wishing her Happy Birthday that she didn't wear it the next day at DCA. When we did the World of Color Dessert Party, we had a wonderful CM who became an honorary "Uncle" to our kids. He was awesome, took great care of us while also being part of a promo they were filming behind us. Surreal experience, but with two younger kids who are small for their ages anyway, having seats for the show was worth it, even if you're not a dessert fan or feel the dessert is worth it. We ate those desserts for nearly the rest of the week we were there. Another day we were sitting in Downtown Disney just enjoying some people watching and resting our feet. One of the older custodians came over and chatted with us. Really nice to chat and just distract the tired and slightly cranky kids. All of the characters and princesses were lovely and really took the time to greet and make everyone (not just our group) feel welcome. There were others as every employee we saw was simply awesome and you could tell they were trying their best. The fact that they aren't paid enough always rubs me the wrong way and there is absolutely no reason (other than greed) why they aren't paid a decent wage. That said, for those that go to the parks, please, please treat the Cast Members like human beings and remember the Golden Rule.
We got those from CM's who saw how dedicated we were for being at the EE line while staying at GCH at 6:00am, consistently. All 5 of us. Worth it, but I never missed sleep so much :)
I don't think Genie Plus is even offered for after dark events, but the lines are so short that you wouldn't need it anyway. Most things will be a walk on the entire night
I'm not sure that there is one available, at least not that I can find. Although Laughing Place has some good pictures and descriptions of the map. www.laughingplace.com/w/disney-parks/disneyland-after-dark-star-wars-nite-guide-map-with-list-of-entertainment-characters-and-food-items/
@@RTDAdventures thank you. I started looking when you said there were pdf's of the maps released a few days before the events at your 3:32 minute mark.
If your big roller-coaster fans, I would recommend Cedar Point in Sandusky, OH. They have amazing roller-coasters and are known for them! My fiancé and I had season passes for like 2 years when we first started dating.
Congratulations on 2k! I'm so excited to go back to Disneyland in August and I'm going back to the D23 Expo as well! I went for the first time in 2022 and this year the first day of the Expo is on my 30th Birthday 🥳
I'm definitely interested in other parks. My top points of interest would be how immersive it is, how the food is, and how much it generally costs overall.
Honestly as much as I love Disney I'm very excited to see other amusement parks. I want to take my kids to New places so I'd love to see what you guys check out!
First, don't short-change the best snacks list. Your video is where I learned about the Darth By Chocolate. AKA - Disneyland's best treat! Second, I would like to see more tips and tricks. Do you use Genie+? What about Park Hopper? Do you criss-cross the park to get to shorter waits or do one area at a time?
I'm hoping that if more people demand Darth by Chocolate, we could get it more often throughout the year! 🤞 And thanks for the ideas, we'll be looking into those as possible future videos!
