As a mom, I understand that soarin' is my favorite ride. 😉
t 5 1 Thunder Mountain. 2 Railroad 3 splash Still open as of today 4 gadgets go coaster 5 star tours
I just got back from my first Disneyland trip! So much fun! I really liked that everything was so close together and that no transit was needed within the resort
We are headed there in a few weeks! Can’t wait
I'm with you AJ!! After Haunted Mansion, Small World is one of my favorites!!!
Happy to see a DL video instead of one on DW! Equal love for California!
Way too nice about Web slingers, that ride is bad. I say this as a Spidey and Marvel fan
Storyland is great
1. Pirates 2. Mattehorn 3. Spacemountain 4. Storyland 5. Haunted
If you ride the teacups with me your gonna walk off in about 30 different directions.
AJ, as a former Disneyland Cast Member…who worked in ATTRACTIONS, I have to say you missed the mark on quite a few
No Frozen Ever After?
You are the best. I love the ride. There may be no adult in kids. There are kids in all adults. Thank you for the video. Live long and prosper 🖖
Small World is wonderful.
AJ, you did Alice DIRTY! 😂 Alice is arguably the best fantasyland dark ride. I said what I said! 😮
Ah the Matterhorn Bobsled ride, AKA the Tailbone Destroyer.
Love this video. Alice and Wonderland I think should be higher in the ranking
Space Mountain is definitely my favorite! the og though, not the hyperspace or ghost galaxy layouts
Thanks so much AJ & DFB Team! This was very fun! I 'mostly' agree, but Big Thunder Mountain RR is 10 /10. Alice In Wonderland, at least 7.5/10 and the Tea Cups from dusk to night under the lights, magic, 8/10! And yawls are quite naughty for leavin' out the Monorail. At D-land it's more ride than transportation! A glorious 7.5/10!
All in all, ya done good! 😍
This is so timely! We’ll be there on 6/1 for the first time.
No way ROTR is better than Haunted Mansion or Indy. ROTR is one of the most overrated rides of all time.
hot take: web slingers is just bad
Jumping jellys great for young kids and those of us who don’t like fast rides
Mad Tea party is not just bout the spin
It’s the music/ sounds lights and visuals/colors
10/10!
AND I ride Dumbo to remember my daughters excitement 29 years ago when we rode it 13 times in one day
It’s all bout emotion
And Alice takes me back to days with my sister and the sensations when we emerged on the big leaf
i love how much personality this vid has. normally the voiceovers in these types of vids r super boring and uninteresting but this one gives the video a much more enjoyable and personable feeling 🙂
Where’s splash mountain?
My top DL Day
1. Check Dapper Dans
2. Visit SB Walkthrough
3. PP Flight
4. Dumbo
5. HM
6. Space M
7. JC
8. Incredicoaster
9. ROTR
10. Shot with MM
11. Dinner at Golden Horseshoe (Walt’s Box)
12. Fantasmic!
Hopefully can do this next year!
I know it was there on opening day, but Mr. Toad’s is just cardboard cutouts with glow paint. It’s no better than a ride at the county fair.
We’re going to need a recount on the Disneyworld vs Disneyland ride comparison video a few months back. Dino was ranked 7/10 on one video and Indy was ranked 9.5/10 on this video. Indy lost with the comparison being the tie breaker. Justice for Indy! 😂
Hot take: if you don't go on Small World, you haven't really been to Disneyland – it's an essential part of the experience. Overall this is a solid list, although like many people, I feel Alice is way too low. If nothing else, the bit where you go back outside the show building is super cool. I'd also rank Jungle Cruise and Star Tours higher. The only ride I feel is ranked too high is Monsters Inc. As was pointed out, it's still basically just Superstar Limo, arguably their worst all time ride – the overlay doesn't really change much for me. Finally, I'd almost want the seasonal overlays ranked as separate rides – for example, the regular Mansion is a 10/10 – but to me the Nightmare Before Christmas version just isn't the same.
Alice was too low.
Indiana Jones is a thousand times better than Dinosaur.
I think the wait time for the Roger Rabbit ride should be mentioned. It's always forever long and never worth it. If the line is coming out of the building, don't get in line even if just one person is poking out. The line snakes forever inside and there is no escaping once you're in.
I love the DFB Crew but I have a bone to pick with this video. If the subject is to compare and rank Disneyland rides then compare them to each other, not some park clear on the other side of the country.
I love these vids, but I really gotta ask how the teacups and Alice's dark ride are lower than the off-the-rack swings in DCA? 🤔Any of the standard "carnival" rides in DCA (though fun) shouldn't be higher than one of the early ones in Disneyland. Don't go all Aunt Susan on us AJ 😄
Just a note: On Astro Blasters, you can make it spin as much as you want 😀 the points don't matter to me so I love to just spin away and enjoy the music and scenes! 😁 Way more fun than just the regular ride ☺
Goofty's sky school and Monsters Inc. are on the bottom of my list.
Where is splash ??
Did I miss Splash Mountain? I know it’s no longer open, but it still deserves a spot on the list. 10/10.
Thanks for a great video. Planning to go to DCA this month
Great ranking 👍
Jungle cruise so low? Sacrelidge!!
Can you please rank every single ride in Disney’s California adventure?
It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all!
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all!
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small, small world
This might be an unpopular opinion, but I feel that Star Wars and Marvel should be at Universal and not Disney.. These were never classic original Disney.. it seems out of place for me. I was born in the 70’s and Star Wars was not popular then and was dead until Disney bought it🤔. My top at Disneyland are Big Thunder, pirates, Indiana Jones, haunted mansion, Matterhorn, Peter Pan, Alice, Casey Jr. Of course I love all the rides though.. my top in Ca Adventure are Cars- Radiator springs, soaring, mermaid 🧜♀️
I going to Disney in a month. I’m binge watching all of your videos AJ!!
Dumbo should be much higher! It is a classic!
