Thanks so much for watching! That would be an interesting challenge to try! We think we’d be able to get on more attractions at Disneyland after park hopping (1pm) because the park is open later than DCA. One thing to keep in mind when planning is that most of the Pixar Pier attractions close early at DCA for World of Color and don’t reopen after the show, but the Fantasyland attractions do reopen after the fireworks.

Thanks so much for watching! We think that’s a fantastic plan! You can get so much done in the morning at DCA. If you’re starting in the afternoon, we would focus on anything with a Lightning Lane that has the soonest return time or any attractions with a Single Rider Line. Keep an eye on Pixar Pier in the evening, most of the attractions close early if there is a World of Color show at night. Have a great trip!

Helpful video! If I'm not willing to pay for Radiator Springs when would you recommend riding? Does it stay busy all day? Or does it slow down at night?

@InAMagicalMood

Жыл бұрын

The single rider line is a great option, especially earlier in the day. If you’re staying late, waiting to get in the standby line near the end of the day is a good option too, because most people wait to watch World of Color or leave to watch the fireworks at Disneyland.

It has been a few years since I have been to DCA and Disneyland. I have used Genie+ in WDW. Can you now modify a regular lightning lane same as in WDW if you are running late or need a different time?

Hi if i was going to disney california for 2 days, would you recommend 1 day ca 1 day disneyland? (Would be purchasing genie plus and potential lightning lane for rotr if queues long) also would it be smarter to buy park hopper for ca since its a smaller park thats could be finished earlier on?

@InAMagicalMood

11 ай бұрын

Thanks so much for watching! We recommend getting park hopper tickets for both days so that you have all the options available. That way, if an attraction is closed temporarily or there’s a parade you’re hoping to watch, you’ll have more than one chance to do it. Have a great trip!

This is amazing. By any chance can you tell us how much extra you spent on the purchases of your individual Lightning lanes for the day?

Thanks so much for watching! When we filmed this, Genie Plus cost $20 per person per day. They do change the price every day, but for this day the Individual Lightning Lanes that we purchased for Radiator Springs Racers were $15 per person and Spider-Man Webslingers were $15 per person. Altogether we spent $50 per person. We highly recommended using the Single Rider lines for both Racers and Webslingers if possible to save time and money.

@InAMagicalMood

Жыл бұрын

Yes, we’d still skip it at rope drop unless you happen to be in the front of that giant line, it’s still going to be an hour or more and wait times do fluctuate throughout the day. If you can use Single Rider instead, it’s usually a 5-10 minute wait in the morning. Have fun!

I am curious, if Midway Mania was walk on, why not go on that and book a LL for a different ride? Thanks for tip videos!

@InAMagicalMood

Great question! In that moment, we wanted to get through as many of the Pixar Pier attractions as we could before those lines got longer. We knew that we’d be able to ride Midway Mania anytime using Genie Plus, so we chose to go back to it. You could definitely walk on and book a different LL too, they are both good strategies. Thanks so much for watching!
