🥉Knowledgeable CreatorSoCal Disney Dad description on YouTube:
Hello! I'm Traver. My family and I have been Disneyland passholders since 2015 and have been visiting Southern California theme parks and attractions regularly since we moved to San Diego in 2014. In addition to Disneyland, we have annual passes to San Diego Zoo and Safari Park, SeaWorld San Diego, LEGOLAND California, and Universal Studios Hollywood. I started this channel with you in mind. Whether you're planning an upcoming vacation, or just want all the latest news about what's going on in the parks. In addition to regular vlogs, one of our favorites things to do is attend the various food festivals. On top of that you can expect snack videos, restaurant reviews, and more. Please consider subscribing, and know that I'm happy to answer any and all questions you have! Just drop me a line in the comments on any video!

What Creators Are Saying About SoCal Disney Dad
One thing we've learned is it is less about your age and more about finding a cruise line and ship that matches your vacation style.
Cruising With Integrated Travel Solutions
It's looking not good on the radar, everybody. No sir. Thank you. All right. Stephy Face, good to see you.
Chase
A cruise is essentially a floating boutique hotel that's going to transport you to a different destination almost every single day.
Ted Blank
I've never done a Panama Canal cruise. I've heard it's really neat to do. Uh we actually have that one scheduled for 2027.
D.R. Collectibles
It's not really what you expect when, you know, you book months in advance to choose a seat. I can understand if the seat was no longer physically available, but it is.

Pro Tips From Creators
The most-shared advice for SoCal Disney Dad.
Check the official refurb calendar as it only goes out 6 weeks at a time.
If you are coming for Oogie Boogie Bash, be aware Haunted Mansion probably won't be open yet.
Don't bank on Haunted Mansion staying open through January if you are planning a trip.
Have a specific theme, focus, or goal before you start filming.
Be more expressive and animated than you are in real life to maintain engagement.
Understand your cost basis and be prepared to weather financial losses when experimenting with new content.
Use the 'sandwich' method with children: one adult goes first and one goes last so an adult is always waiting at the exit.
Check the age requirement; you must be at least 7 years old to use Single Rider lines.
