Editorial Summary

The creator provides a series of practical tips and personal preferences based on their experiences at Disneyland and Disney California Adventure. They advise against waiting in lines longer than thirty minutes, suggesting that most major attractions average this wait time and that smaller dark rides are better suited for afternoon visits. The creator also recommends avoiding standard fast food like corn dogs or burgers in favor of higher quality options like street tacos. Regarding specific attractions, they suggest avoiding the standby line for Rise of the Resistance at rope drop and advise against waiting in line if the ride breaks down. For Radiator Springs Racers, the creator recommends using the single rider line to avoid massive standby waits. Other advice includes avoiding the first or last days of new land openings to escape crowds, using Mouse Dining to secure difficult restaurant reservations, and skipping expensive character breakfasts since characters can often be met for free throughout the parks. Finally, the creator notes they will no longer stay at on-property Disney hotels due to the high cost, preferring more affordable off-property accommodations.
