Creator's Key Takeaways

if you are not here at ROP drop you are missing out it is 9:00 the park has been open for an hour already an hour and look at this look nobody here at buzz later today this line will be at minimum 45 minutes potentially even higher

the bottom line is this if you don't buy Genie plus you're going to be waiting in the standby line and you are going to see uh Disney sending the lightning Lane people through at a rate much much faster than your line and you're just going to get frustrated

there is absolutely no reason for you to pay the full rack rate on both Disneyland's website and hotel websites there is a solution to this and it is called getaway today

I do think that it is a major mistake to skip this California Adventure now it's only 9:50 a.m. so we can't hop over there just yet hopping time is 11:00 a.m. here at Disneyland
