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!
