I love that Disneyland by nature seems to really lend itself to being able to balance Genie+ with standby and luxuriating throughout the day. I had such a relaxing time on my trip this past September utilizing genie+, and I can’t wait to have the same relaxing time when I head back towards the end of the year.

I love that Allan went to go get coffee while Molly explained all of Genie+ 🤣 like "yeah I'm gonna dedicate this time to something more important while she talks to the people"

We went to Disneyland for the first time July 2023. I grew up going to Disney World so this was all new to me. I found Disneyland more relaxing and not as rushed as Disney World. I also liked that it seemed that the characters roamed the park more in Disneyland. We saw Mary Poppins and Bert ride the Merry Go Round. Looking forward to going back to Disneyland.

Same!!! My hubby and I were discussing how the over crowded WDW may keep us in Disneyland ❤

I just want to take a minute to let you know how much I appreciate your recent commitment to providing updated B roll on rides. It's been nice to see some different/angles footage from the various rides. I watch several channels and it always seems to be the same shots, so I appreciate you mixing it up. That is one reason why Mammoth Club RULES! Ha, and you all thought no one noticed ; ) I have!

Severely underrated. I was watching a DFB video the other day, which is nothing but B roll, and there was one shot where everyone was wearing masks. Like you have people from two separate channels shooting videos daily and you're still recycling B roll from when the parks first reopened over two years ago?

Don't wear fake ponytail pieces on the Indiana Jones ride. I was trying to be cute and that pony went flying right off my head. I was convinced it burned up in the fire, but it was just in the back of the jeep. 🤣Thank you for always having the best and most entertaining updates!

I love Molly's reaction when she meets Pete. There is so much pure joy and excitement. She is so true to herself and I think that is something so much of us resonate when watching these videos. It is certainly reassuring to see her so pumped; it makes me feel seen as I am someone who does a lot of fist pumps and victory poses when excited. 😁

The most perfect video to come up 2 months before my Disneyland trip 🤗

Listening to you all laugh your way through a roller coaster makes me feel so much better because I thought it was odd that have a tendency to just giggle like a psycho with occasional screams.

I went to Disneyland for the first time ever during the atmospheric river! Since it was my first time using Genie+ I was a little intimidated, but it was very easy to use. And you are right, book a LL, use it, book next one, etc. Each time we rode Pirates, I thought of you, Molly, since you love it. And so many times while we were at the parks I heard your voice saying, 'patient pants.'

I rode the old DIsneyland Skyway many times, and the one at Magic KIngdom as well. It actually shut down in 1994, with MK’s a few years later. It was mainly about maintenance and wind. San Diego Zoo still has theirs so it has nothing to do with OSHA (they enclosed theirs a bit more). Fun fact: The Matterhorn was basically just a shell up until 1978. That is as you rode through on the Skyway it was all open inside and you could see the steel structure and the track layout. Why, because Walt ran out of money to finish it (Yes folks, even back then there were budget issues!). So all the caverns and Harold the Abominable Snowman was until 1978. True story: When I was 13, about 1970, my dad and I came down on a trip from were I use to live by San Francisco he…My dad…had the idea to bring balloons so we could make water balloons. We filled them up in our hotel room and snuck them in using a Disneyland bag (which were paper back then). And as we went through on the Skyway we dropped them on the Bobsled riders! We did that on the Peoplemover too! Oh, those were the days….

Love Alan’s comparison between radiators and test track! So true! Thanks for a magical video!

This is so helpful! But watching you two eat the popcorn was funny 😄

What great timing. Watching this on the plane on the way to Disneyland! Have loved watching your videos to get us ready to enjoy the parks!

Ingenious vlog Molly and Alan with how you formulated and time tested Genie + in Disneyland and DCA for ride attractions! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

after braving genie+ at WDW I’m super excited to have a more laid back experience at DL - thanks for all the tips!!

HA HA HA. Will you be my aunt? (I'm older than you, but we can make it work.) I love your story about taking your nieces and spoiling them.

Perfect timing for these tips as we will be visiting this weekend. One suggestion, please, please, please watch the video of Mickey climbing the Matterhorn. Amazing!

Giving kids sugar when they cry is absolutely a valid caretaking tip when at a theme park 😅 my 3-year-old woke up from a nap **hangry** and demanded a mickey bar, so we did that and then took him to Morocco for a kebab. Dessert first is absolutely okay on vacay.

There are no polar bears in Antarctica. They're artic only, so not that far from black bears, really.🐻‍❄️ I vote ewoks and wookies aren't related. So maybe ewoks are like koalas (which are not not bears) and wookies are grizzlies or another bear 💜🐨🐻💜 Yes, I think I've spent too much of my Saturday morning thinking about this 😂

That's what I came here to say! Polar bears are only in the Artic! (And, by the way, penguins are only in the Southern Hemisphere.)

This idea is pretty similar to this video, but I would love a video that was focused on advice/tips for regular Disney World goers who are taking on Disneyland Resort for the first time. For example, how you pointed out that ROTR & MMRR are carbon copies of each other on both coasts, so skippable if you don’t have time for everything. And which experiences would be the most unique and most-does!

Thank you for explaining how it all works!

Thank you, I live for Mollys scream laugh.

Love your videos so much and I’ve been here from the start so I’m happy to see yalls success with this channel 😊❤

We went to Disneyland in January and used all of your genie+ tips and tricks and were able to do 21 rides in 1 day!🎉

First! I believe that Wookies and Ewoks are an example of convergent evolution

Thank you for all that you and Alan do. We absolutely love all of your videos. Thank you for bringing Disney to us when we can't be there.

Oh my gosh. I’m sharing this video with everyone! I try to explain that stacking doesn’t really work in DL and people don’t really get it. I usually make Indiana my first LL because that’s the one that gets the latest the quickest.

Matterhorn mountain climbers and the “buckets” were part of my childhood in the 80s… you can still see the Skyway unload station in Fantasyland… across the way from the restrooms next to Red Rose is a little chalet building that sometimes has its lights on… yep.. still there. 😊

I'm glad you guys do both Disneyland and Disney World. One day I'll make it to Disney World. You guys are great.

Used your tips for Genie and applied them to DL when I went in October last year. It was BEYOND helpful and we had a blast and using Genie was a breeze and made our limited time there completely worth it, especially as a person who has only been to DL once.

Thank you guys for this vlog! We've been to Disneyland/DCA once before and are trying to do both parks in one day on our next trip. This plan has given me the confidence that it can be done and without too much stress. Thanks again!

Love the cool aunt tips from Molly 😅

This is so very timely as we are taking our daughter to Disneyland in April for her 3rd birthday (staying at Pixar place) and we bought genie+ with our park hopper tickets.

You two are my favorite "Disney KZreaders"

😂😂😂 The Matterhorn part was my favorite. It sounded so painful but so fun 😁

Note Haunted Mansion is down ADA elevator need to be install by load zone No more ride the stretch room back up and redoing queue line so No more rope queue

As a native Disneylander with lots of experience with Genie+ here, I had a rough time at DW the first couple of days of my first trip there last month. I was so surprised how quickly slots booked! Even at 7 am! 😀

When my former roommate went with me to DL she always got so stressed out not having stacked LLs like in WDW which we're used to. I ended up loving the more relaxed vibes to planning out my day and now I truly prefer DL. 😅 #convert

going to be 200 soon - how will you mark the occasion - CONGRATS and soooooooooooooo well deserved

We went to Disneyland last summer when it was super busy, never got Genie plus and rode every big ride we wanted to, except Radiator Racers, but that was because it was down most of the time. The standbye lines weren't even awful, except for the heat, lol.

Weird fun fact; my mom was a synchronized swimmer in her youth, and moved from Boston to California so she could be a mermaid at Disneyland. Not only did they have real climbers on the Mattahorn, the submarine ride had real mermaids! Sadly, they stopped doing it months before she got there, and the internet didn't exist, so she didn't find out til she moved across the country 😅

I just ❤ my Disneyland. Hey Molly have you ever looked or found our Leprechaun house by Indiana Jones you stood next to it when you were speaking about ur Dinosaur ride but you have to know where to look it's NOT in plain site. Also yes it was awesome in the 60s with the climbers and there use to be a guy that blew that big long horn also and the chicken of the sea pirate ship with great tuna sandwiches and skull rock(now by Dumbo) and the buckets ❤❤ the steps are still there by Casey Jr. Ohh I can tell you so much bout old Disneyland like all the facades on Big Thunder were from the original mine train mule train ride that was my fav as a kid. ❤❤❤❤ u guys hi Max miss u

Me too! I grew up with Disneyland being one hour away by freeway. We went a few times each year from the time I was age three up to when hubs and I retired to FL 15 months ago. We had APs and Magic Keys. It will always be my favorite Disney park, and the only nostalgic park for me. I miss it a lot, but with all of our adult kids and our young grandson living in Calif we go back there a couple times annually, and it’s been fun getting to know the DW parks. They’re way less relaxing for us, but we just take our time and do one park at a time, and a great bonus is it’s much more affordable now for our kids to come to DW since they can stay with us and only need tickets. We pay for their flights just to encourage them to visit, lol. Oh, and Disneyland will always have the best weather. Almost no humidity, lol. 😅

I just had this conversation with a family member the other day. Genie+ works so much better at Disneyland in my opinion. At WDW you have to plan so far ahead in the day, but at DL its so much easier to just book what you want as the day goes on even during peak times like Christmas.

Oh my Daddy Pedro 😂 ! I love Pedro ❤!

In the O.G. days the sky buckets DID go through the Matterhorn. Great knowledge Molly and Alan. Love your channel!!!

34:00 The bummed and/or exhausted, blonde lady looking for someone or something is such a vibe.

Thanks for another awesome video 🥰 I would love to see a 3 way comparison between time saved via Lightning Lane, vs Posted standby wait, vs ACTUAL time waited in standby. The math would be mathing!!

Love you guys, keep up the great work.

Love your videos and love it even more when you’re at Disneyland!

I went to both Disneyland and Disney world. I would give a slight bump on disneyland over Disney world because of the weather. Anaheim weather is not too hot or humid vs Florida. Also it seems more relaxing to me…not as crowded vs Disney world Florida.

Seeing how rough Matterhorn looks from the video and seeing Molly filming with an iPhone just in her hands… Confidence. 💪🏼🤣

How on earth do Molly & Alan not love the Cars franchise?? It is amazing!

Thank you for the tips! We are going in May and this vlog will help us!

I dressed like a Matterhorn Bobsled mountaineer for the Disneyland Half in January because I wanted something DL specific. HAD to ride the Bobsleds ... And remembered why I prefer other rides! But, it is a classic!

Well job, again. I miss my park and looked up flights.

Last year on my trip I booked a 8 am incredicoaster for it to be a 5 min wait so I changed it to a 9:30 guardians. Then got a 10:30 web slingers after! And we rode radiator springs racers first thing!

I miss the old fast pass system not just bc it was free but bc it could account for ride breakdowns and was easy to understand. That being said, I think Genie+ is a very fair value proposition based on how much time Molly and Alan proved you can save. I’m totally cool with paying 30 dollars for saving that much time and being able to stack LLs AND not having to walk to the ride kiosks for a fast pass AND also easier booking availability at Disneyland Resort.

I can’t wait until my niece and nephew are old enough to go to DisneyWorld. I mean they are old enough now, but they won’t be able to do many rides or remember the experience 😅 I read somewhere that the cannons were turned off on Rise of the Resistance because it was causing structural damage to the building. Of course I can’t officially confirm it because it came from the rumor mill, but makes sense!

The Skyway went through the Matterhorn up until it's closure Nov 9, 1994. I used to ride during the nighttime fireworks too.

Indiana Jones LL starts at the end of the bridge outside. So it's often not a big time saver, unless it's the busy season/ holidays/ there is a lot of queue on the ground. From bridge on, barely saving. Just a few minutes.

Love your genie tips and tricks

Animal nerd here, polar bears do not live in the Antarctic they are solely found in the arctic circle( northern hemisphere). So my take is Ewok's and Chewie are not related. Just convergent evolution type thing. Where similar animals develop due to similar evolutionary conditions.

Great and instructive video. Genie+ does seem to work better in Disneyland than WDW because of the impact of the local visitors not using it. I've read and watched a lot about Genie+ and I still can't wrap my head around stacking using the 120-minute loop hole. Is the 120 minutes from the time you book a LL or is it from the time you last used a booked LL?

Okay, but what song DID you get on guardians? 😂

I am always team “sit in the front on roller coasters” EXCEPT Big Thunder Mountain. I had that same seat when we were there a few weeks ago and the ride was so underwhelming. You’re like halfway down the hill before you pick up any speed.

Oh I miss Indiana Jones, that's the only ride I'm going to be bummed about missing when I go to disney world. I hope in the future they can turn Dinosaur into another Indiana Jones ride like this one. It's one of the few rides I've ever gotten stuck on, too. During the bug section we stopped and the lights turned on, they have probably hundreds of bugs glued to that wall, way more than needed. It was really cool

Disneyland is a lot easier for genie+ in my opinion...and funny story when it was magic+ they just started it and toy story mania broke down but never turned off the fastpass request. So in an hour I had the complementary broken down ride fastpass for roughly 15-20 times...didn't have to wait in a line the rest of the day

Alan (I Alan Too)I start fab of pretzel garlic bread and Bengal barbecue beef skewers is slow catch on slowly

We live in Utah and go to Disneyland all the time. We use stacking every time we go. We leave the park around 1:00 to go back and rest our feet and keep stacking LL attractions while we are gone. Then we we get back around 5 or 6, we have 3 rides lined up. You have to watch the return times, but with an hour leeway, its pretty easy Also the trick to riding the Matterhorn is - don't lean back against the seat, and then lean with the turns like you are actually in a real bobsled. It makes it so much better!

@@sandyj3231 Here is an example: If I leave the park at 1:00, I look for a lightning lane return time around 5pm and book it.

Then at 5:00 (2 hours later) when we are on our way back to the park, I book the next one for 6:00 - 6:30pm. Then we get into the park and have 3 lightning lanes stacked and ready to ride between 5-6:30. I'm pretty sure that Molly has some videos on how to do it. But its great!

By daughter cut her elbow open on Matterhorn. She wears her scar like a medal! And the sky buckets were incredible and I miss them (and PeopleMover) everyday!

I remember the Actual "Good Old Days" when there was no fast passes and you just got in line and actually moved because they weren't stopping the line for the fast pass.

The one thing that shocked me about DL was the Pirates wasn’t on Genie when I went!!! Whaaaat

Great video guys. Have you done a cost comparison between Disney World to Disneyland? Resorts, All Park stuff, Food, etc. On average would it be cheaper to go to Disneyland than Disney World, flights excluded?

Loved this vlog!!! I appreciate knowing how much time you save when using Geie + but what month was this done so I have an idea of the crowd levels?

Molly please tell me where that shirt is from!!

Molly! I need some Mam Fam merch!!

Have used genie+ at Disneyland for a couple of trips and just got back from using it at Disney World. Leaps and bounds better at Disneyland, and Disneyland in general is more organic and warm fuzzy feeling than Disney World. Can we just put Disneyland in place of Magic Kingdom, tack on DCA to Hollywood studios, and make sure Epcot and AK are close by? Perfect 😂

You need a Molly bear shirt.
