- Hey, everyone.
Today I'm actually going to take you
into Disneyland and show you which order
to ride the rides so you never have to wait in line.
I think that's one of the biggest complaints
that people have, but if you follow my tips
and follow me here on this video,
you guys will never have to wait in line
because our family never does and rarely has
to stand in line longer than 10 minutes.
So, let's get started and I'll take you through Disneyland.
(upbeat music)
This is what lines look like.
If you get here early in the morning,
there's barely anyone in line and you can head back to
the rope drop and it is a really smart idea
to get here early on the weekends.
The park opens as early as 7 AM,
so we are here at 6:30.
You have to walk fast.
(upbeat music)
This is what the insanity looks like.
(upbeat music)
This is all the people that are in front of us.
So, we're going to walk straight on
Peter Pan, the rest of the Fantasy Land rides first.
We definitely...
beat...
the line that's coming.
Got to walk fast.
So, the Peter Pan line, I've seen get over 60 minutes long
throughout the day, so that's why we go to Peter Pan first.
Not because the ride is spectacular,
but just because it's the best time of the day
to go on it if your kids do want to go on the ride.
First ride is always Peter Pan.
- [Peter Pan] Come on everybody, here we go!
- [Melea] Next, we're headed over to Dumbo.
It's our second ride because it's the second busiest ride
in Fantasy Land, and as you can see
that line is super short.
There is rarely a line for Pinocchio's Daring Journey,
so don't worry about that in the morning.
You can hit it later in the day
and not have to wait in line.
For Snow White's Scary Adventures,
I don't think I've ever seen a line in the last 5 years.
It's a pretty scary ride for most little kids,
so you don't need to wait in this line either.
You can come back later
if you really want to go on this ride.
The carousel ride is one of my kid's favorites,
but it's not something you have to do
first thing in the morning.
As the lines typically don't get very long,
you can come pretty much any time during the day
or towards closing, you can get on this any other time.
If your family likes the Mr. Toad's Wild Ride,
you can do this right after Dumbo.
If not, you can head over to the Teacups.
Alright, this Storybook ride, we don't typically ride
on a regular basis, but the line does get long
so you can do this one anytime between the Teacups,
Alice in Wonderland, or Dumbo.
You can pick and choose, depending on what the rides
are looking like, or what the lines are looking like.
So, next we do the Mad Tea Party Teacups,
which as you can see, the line is empty.
We're still ahead of the crowd, so after that
we will head over to Alice in Wonderland
where the line is super short as well.
(Alice in Wonderland music)
Here you'll see that we are passing the Matterhorn.
We are not riding it right now.
That's because we want to get over to Space Mountain
before that line gets too crazy long,
and Star Tours before they open up
the park to everybody else.
Here at Space Mountain, you'll notice that the wait time
is only 10 minutes, which basically means you're walking
on this ride because the wait times don't go lower
than 10 minutes.
So, we're on track and we're ahead
of the huge group of people behind us.
Next, you're going to want to head over to Star Tours.
If it's close enough to when the park officially opens,
then you can get a fast pass.
That's what we're waiting for
so we don't have to wait 20 minutes.
So this fast pass goes live in 5 minutes,
then we'll get a fast pass,
and in the mean time we're going to go over
on the Astro Blasters over there.
For some reason, this ride gets so long during the day,
and it never shortens, so you're going to want to ride this
before you leave Tomorrowland.
So, this is everyone coming into the park right at 8:00,
an hour after us.
It is insane and everyone is going to Space Mountain,
so we got that done.
Now that we just got all of our fast passes,
we're not going to use them right now.
We're going to head over to Indiana Jones
because most people won't go there
right when they get to the park,
and we shouldn't have to wait very long,
so let's cross our fingers.
So, we made it in time because the line
is only 10 minutes long.
This line, I think, is a little deceptive,
so we're going to go check it out.
So, since my little kids aren't tall enough
to ride Indiana Jones, we do the rider swap,
so that way you only have to wait in line 1 time
and then the 2nd time you basically get a free fast pass
to go in with the 2nd group of your party
who's not watching the kids the 2nd time around.
So, at this point you have a few options.
You guys can go over to the Haunted Mansion,
which is what I would recommend since
there's no fast pass over there,
and then you also have Pirates of the Caribbean
and you also have Thunder Mountain Railroad.
Thunder Mountain Railroad does have a fast pass,
so you can kind of decide which rides to ride next,
depending on what the rides look like.
Splash Mountain is closed right now,
so basically those are the 3 major rides that you have left
and you're done.
So, kind of play it by ear and see how the crowds are
and how quickly you got into the park.
That kind of gives you an idea of what to ride
and what the main rides are to ride.
Then, any of the small rides that you didn't get to,
you can go back to
and fill in now, because everyone is still on
the major rides and are not going to those smaller rides,
so you still should have really short,
if not totally no lines on any of those rides.
Okay, so it's about 10 AM and we're done
with all the major rides, and now we're just going back
to do all the smaller rides, like the carousel,
some of the other rides that
don't have really long lines ever,
and eating some yummy food,
and doing some character hunting.
Okay, so I just wanted to mention that we are here
during UEA fall break, which is one of
the busiest times here at the park,
so if we are able to walk on all of these rides
and do all of these rides just as I've showed you,
you guys can do these any time you come to Disneyland
and they will totally work for you too.
(Disney music)
- [Crowd] 3...
2...
1...
(cheering)
- [Melea] Here we go.
(cheering and laughing)
The craziness of DCA.
Here we go.
Showing you what order to ride the rides today in this park.
(upbeat music)
So, we're at the front of the line
at the rope drop,
and you'll start to see everyone's coming behind us.
Okay, the rope's been dropped and now we're walking
to the Cars rides.
Exercise of the century.
You're doing good, guys, you're doing good.
Now we're docking down Cars Land.
Remember, stay on the right side,
especially by the pacer rope.
(upbeat music)
You're going to be winded, guys.
You're going to be winded, you're going to feel the burn.
That's okay, keep going.
Remember what you're prize is.
Front of the line.
(upbeat music)
- [Child] Mommy, am I tall enough?
- [Melea] You are totally tall enough.
- Yay! Last time I wasn't tall enough.
- [Melea] Yeah, but you are now.
(upbeat music)
Are you ready?
- Yeah.
- [Melea] Rockwell, are you ready?
- I'm ready and we're about to go.
(cheering and screaming)
(car engines)
- [Melea] We typically skip the Luigi Tire Ride
because it's pretty stupid and doesn't work,
so we're going to the Junkyard Jamboree,
and this is so much fun, even for adults.
Alright, now that we are done with all the Cars Land stuff,
we are heading over to the Toy Story ride.
Unlike Disneyworld, Disneyworld has a fast pass
for Toy Story,
or Midway Mania, whatever you want to call it.
They do not have a fast pass here,
so we're going to that first,
and then we'll go to things like
Tower of Terror, or the Screaming Roller Coaster,
or other things that do have fast passes.
Depending on the day and how busy the crowds are,
we can still get on all the rides we want
without waiting in line for very long.
Now we're going to hurry, and we're going to go on
Toy Story because the line is super short,
and you know you don't like waiting an hour for that ride.
(upbeat music)
While those who are tall enough can go on the
California Screamin' ride,
I am taking the kids on the carousel,
which they are super excited about,
so it's a good way to get everyone in your family
on the rides quickly.
So, right now we are passing
the Little Mermaid Adventure ride because,
well, you can walk on that ride any time of the day,
and we are heading over to...
Tower of Terror.
So, now we're at Tower of Terror.
If you guys didn't hear the news,
they're actually revamping it,
turning it into a Guardians of the Galaxy ride,
so this ride is super popular.
It's already a 30 minute wait and it's, like,
the park has just barely opened,
so we're getting fast passes for this.
While we wait in line for this
we can ride it more than once
and it's definitely one you're going to want
to make sure you get fast passes for
if you want to do again.
You can already see all the construction going on
on the outside of the building.
This is the hot mess of the line
for Tower of Terror right now.
It weaves back and forth.
It's crazy.
Wait time is over an hour and a half long.
Yeah, definitely one you're going to want to make sure
you get here first for,
or go in the order that I told you.
Alright, so now we are heading over to Soarin'.
This is one where our family's probably going
to fast pass because the line at this point
is probably pretty long.
So, we're going to fast pass that.
Then, of course, there's a lot of other fun, new things,
like Anna and Elsa's new...
show, Broadway style show that they have,
which you are going to want to make sure you
get there early for with the times
and wait times and when the show airs
and a few of the other rides that might have a
little bit of a long line,
but I'll let you guys decide
what works best for your family,
but we've gone over all of the big ones
and the big ones that get really long lines,
so I hope that helped you guys
and you guys liked this video.
If you did, don't forget to give the video a like
and if you're new to my channel,

and I'll talk to you guys next time.
Bye.
