Thank you so much for the video. Because I'm a very sensitive guy. I appreciate you giving us a good tour of what rides we feel like and what we don't feel like. This video is suitable so I can tell my friends which rides are very suitable for them.

Hey Traver, I have a question. My son and I are going to Disneyland and California Adventure at the end of August. We have a small YouTube channel and I was wondering what the rules are for filming in the park and on the rides. This is my son's first trip ever and my first trip back in 30 years and I am just wondering what the policy is. Thank you for your time and I love the videos.

I like Soarin Around The World better than Soarin Over California. I went on Soarin Around The World a few times and I like it and they did a very good job. But for me Disney can do a lot better. They need to re theme the attraction again but this time from Soarin Around The World to Soarin Around The World with Little Einsteins. Because when I rode on Soarin Around The World I was thinking of what Disney can do to plus it and that is when I thought about Little Einsteins because it's all about the hanger that the park guest went through and I was thinking that Disney can create an attraction based on a TV show on Playhouse Disney.

Hi Traver! I have an idea for upcoming videos. I think it would be so cool if viewers made a scavenger hunt for you for each park. You could post on your community page asking for something theyβd like you to find and you see how many of those things you can find in one day. Could be characters, merch, off the wall things, or really anything! I think the boys would love to help you find the stuff as well! βΊοΈ

@Kj234rsCant wait for the expansions to be done. Love Monsters but beyond excited for what they will do with Avatar
@MsFan4LifeThanks for this and the Disneyland ride guide videos! Love the β26 updated content. Itβs a great reference guide and I show it my kids a couple days before we visit the park so i know which rides they want to do.
@ATseng-xm7iwHow much is the entrance in the Disneyland
@ArlaneGuiwanGet lightning lane premier pass. Itβs worth it
@gohana3434On a hot day, rope drop Grizzly and youβll ride in 5 times in a hour and a half. Best fun in DCA.
@dalemartell8639Iβm not ready for Monsters Inc to close π
@ashleyread2680My family is going to Disneyland in March and wondering if DCA is worth the visit. We are going to Legoland the day before and it seems like there are a lot of repeats between DCA and Legoland. Do you feel the rides are very different?
@dukaneGreat video! So informative
@stephaniewhittington64Omg im so excited, my little ones are tall enough to go on the RSR and the swings! Ahh cant wait for our next trip later this month now! My daughter always looks longingly at RSR when we sit and eat at Flo's
@DreskiiMartinezI wish Guardians of the galaxy mission breakout had a single rider. That and toy story midway mania are like the only two major rides that dont have single rider. Great video as always!
@INKSocietyIXmy favorite ride in DCA is toy story
