We'll be going at the beginning of October as part of our honeymoon, doing the opposite, and going to Disneyland on the OBB days and DCA on the non OBB day, so we're definitely worried about the crowd levels. We'll have Genie Plus, so we're trying to figure out the best strategy to use for our mornings. Your videos definitely help!

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

With Genie+ you’ll be fine. Walkways may be a bit crowded at times, but Genie+ makes going on rides a breeze. Just make sure you go on rides without Lightning Lanes in the mornings and late evenings. That’s going to be key.

Since Thursday is an Oogie Boogie Bash night, anyone who isn't going to Oogie Boogie will be at Disneyland, then vice versa on Friday. Everyone who didn't go to DCA on Thursday, will be at DCA on Friday.

@3drage 10 месяцев назад

This year I went to the parks a week each in Feb, March, May, and was there this last week.....I'd say crowd levels were equal or a little more than I went just after Spring break in May. It certainly felt very crowded, but it also seemed like rides broke down more often on this trip than my others. Also, for some reason last week posted ride times were not in line with reality, 10-20 minutes longer than posted times (even when the rides were functional the whole time of the queue). Alien Jack is the worst jack :D. p.s. the Lightning lane for Haunted Mansion was insane the whole time I was there. It reached Splash Mountain quite often, but that observation included frequent ride closures for the ride.

@FanThemePark 10 месяцев назад

My wife and I were just here Monday through Wednesday and it seemed very busy. My wife was able to qualify for a DAS pass so it made our lives easier but without it, we would've waited in lots of lines. Haunted Mansion Holiday consistently had a huge wait and kept breaking down all three days.

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

Breaking down is really unusual for that ride, but I have been hearing it’s been having issues. The holiday version is always popular. If we don’t rope drop it, we don’t ride it. That’s just a fact of life this time of year. 😕 Glad you had DAS. I usually recommend Genie+ (which DAS is, just a free version that ALSO works on non-lightning lane rides. So definitely better), for anyone visiting to help maximize time.

@FanThemePark 10 месяцев назад

@@SoCalDisneyDad yep we've been plenty of times during Halloween time before and this time was definitely the most we've seen Haunted Mansion Holiday down. Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway and Matterhorn were also down pretty consistently while we were there.

@nickcarneyphotography 10 месяцев назад

I'm going to Disneyland in two weeks, it's a Thursday, OBB day, we are park hopping one day with Genie Plus. Would you recommend starting in DCA or Disneyland? I had people recommend me to start in DCA since you can get a lot done in the morning and maybe even finish by 11am and it will start to get crowded in the afternoon. But will we risk long lines in Disneyland throughout the rest of the day? We are mostly interested in the thrill rides. Thanks for your videos! Super helpful.

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

With Genie+, I wouldn’t worry too much. You’ll be able to get done most everything you want to do. If you only have one day, starting in DCA is really the only strategy that’s going to work since it closes early. And consider that at 3 PM the park is going to get really really crowded with OBB guests. So you definitely want to be out of there by then. Is Disneyland going to be busy? Sure. All the non-hopper guests will be in that park, and you’ll start to see a huge influx of hopper guests at Disneyland around 3 PM and forward. But with Genie+, you won’t wait very long. They pull guests from lightning lines at an 8:2 ratio roughly. Meaning for every 8 lightning lane guests they only wave forward 2 standby guests. It’s heavily weighted toward lightning lane.

@michelleh02 10 месяцев назад

Glad you were able to show the wait times on a weekday! Do you happen to know how busy the parks are on a monday in october? I wasnt sure if it was best to get genie+ for a 1 day park hopper ticket. Trying my best to utilize the time i have there! ⏳️

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

It shouldn’t be too different from this, being a non-Oogie Boogie day. I imagine most folks will plan to be at DCA on Monday since Sunday and Tuesday DCA closes early. I will do another one of these videos in October because I know October is when a lot of schools take Fall breaks. So I’ll definitely be doing another crowd check closer to your trip. I would definitely get Genie+ just to make sure you can get the most done.

We're heading to Disneyland and DCA for a four-day trip the last week of September. If crowds stay at this level, that would be amazing!

Keep in mind that I assume the only reason crowds are low is because everyone without hoppers was in DCA being a non-Oogie Boogie day. DCA was sufficiently busy that same day. I started in that park that morning and all the popular rides had long lines less than an hour after rope drop.

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

I don’t think so. I believe my family is blocked out that day. But that’s sort of a good thing for you. It means 3 of 4 passes are blocked out, so should be lower crowd levels.

Our family of 4 are going in mid October. I know weekends are busy, but is it manageable on a Saturday in Disneyland?

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

I think so! Something to keep in mind is that 3 levels of annual passes are blocked out every Saturday in October. That means fewer locals in the park. Now, generally, Disney does that because they expect higher than usual crowds from visitors. But hopefully it means you’ll have a really great day. Every Saturday in July had 3 levels of passes blocked out, and when I went on a Saturday (I have the highest pass with virtually no blackout dates) it was a dream and really great wait times throughout the park compared to usual.

@CynthiaCAFunAdventures 10 месяцев назад

Do they always do the Oogie Boogie bash on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from September to October?

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

That’s the pattern this year. I can’t remember if that was the case last year. I do know that they had a Saturday OBB last year for D23. But that might have been an exclusive Saturday event and wasn’t normal.

@finned958 10 месяцев назад

Standby wait times are usually fairly accurate. I don’t know why some people say it’s exaggerated by 50 to 100%.

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

They are…generally. But wait times are dictated by red cards that get sent through. And if you had a malfunction that delayed the ride for just 10 minutes and that red card was stuck waiting, the posted wait could be longer for the guests that come after, but the line isn’t really that long. By the same token, if a popular ride is posted low, because it was, a flood of guests can rush over there and now it’s not that short anymore. It’ll take a new red card that has to go through the whole line to fix it. Which could mean 30-40 minutes of guests getting in line before the new time is updated. Wait times are helpful guides, but I trust my experience gauging a line by sight better. I know how long a line should be based on where guests are in the queue because I’ve waited those lines many many times.

@bestdaysahead921 Месяц назад

Quick question about Disneyland in October with Oogie boogie bash! if we are NOT doing Oogie boogie bash, and we have hopper passes to both of the parks, what is the best way to avoid crowds? Doing Disneyland on opposite days of Oogie boogie Bash? And California adventure on days of Oogie boogie bash, and then leave when it closes early and head to disneyland? thanks so much! love your videos so much!

Yes, I’d recommend DCA as the starting park on OBB days as folks without hoppers will be at Disneyland all day. Disneyland will get busier after 6 PM, but that’s the best case scenario for those days with a hopper.

I’ve heard that he makes an appearance for the Disney Visa Card Holder special photo op in DCA, but those characters rotate. So it’s not always him. You’re best bet is to ask a cast member hanging out near one of the other characters. They all wear unique outfits and have a big pin to ask them about characters.

@@steve-odworkis591 Yes, you have to go up to the cast member at the front of the line and ask for rider switch. They will scan the ticket of the person waiting out and one other individual who will ride with the person who waited out. For example. If you are a party of 4, two adults and two children. Adult 1 rides with Child 1 while Adult 2 waits out with Child 2. And then after you swap Adult 2 can ride and Child 1 gets to ride twice. If you have a group larger than four people, only one individual gets to “ride twice” with the person who waited out. What the cast member will do is basically give you and one other guest a free Lightning Lane for that ride. Everyone else needs to sit out on the second ride through.

Do the same rides really break down multiple times a day? Or do the employees just want a break? Lol

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

If someone drops a hat or whatever on a trackless ride they have to stop the ride to get it. I'm not sure about MMRR, but with Rise, that means they have to shut it down and completely reboot it. And the reboot process takes 40 minutes minimum.

Have three day hopper tickets and was planning to do the exact opposite of where you said to go on Oogie Boogie bash days 😆 So glad I watched this! I’ve appreciated all of your advice and hard work you have done on these videos! Thanks! What do you recommend rope dropping at DL if Space mountain is closed? 🥲

@SoCalDisneyDad 10 месяцев назад

Since you have a hopper, you’ll definitely want to start at DCA on OBB days and start at Disneyland on the non-OBB days. Without Space Mountain to go to, you could consider Indiana Jones or Mickey and Minnie’s.
