2023 Disneyland Ride Stats

Here are the Disneyland ride stats for my family for 2023.  This year, Lizi, Trey, and I participated in the Gumball Rally, a one day event at Disneyland, in February, I took a quick one day trip to Disneyland by myself in May to ride Splash Mountain one last time before Disney tore it down, and my 4 kids and I all took our normal summer trip to Disneyland for 5 days - 3 days at Disneyland and 2 at California Adventure. Here is a summary of what attractions we went on, what park we spent the most time in, what Land in each park we spend the most time in, and what our favorite attractions are:


Attraction Stats (How many times we rode every attraction):



Pirates of the Caribbean was our most frequented attraction this year! It's always a family favorite.

Pirates of the Caribbean is always one of the attractions we ride the most but this year, it finally made it over the top. Splash Mountain closed in May, so although Trey, Lizi, and I rode it as much as we could during our Gumball Rally trip in February, it was strangely closed before the busy summer months for our summer trip. Here's a look at our ride stats for 2023:

Next, I've broken down how much time we spend in each of the different "Land" inside of each park, keeping in mind that we had 5 days at Disneyland and 2 at California Adventure.

As always, Fantasyland was our most visited land, although Tomorrowland was a little closer this year. Last year, Fantasyland was at 25% but as the kids get older and like to do more of the thrilling attractions, it decreases every year. Critter Country is also usually near the top because of Splash Mountain but now, with it gone, I imagine it will sink more towards the bottom.

The last thing I like to track every year, is everyone's favorite attraction so I have each person rank their top 10 rides/entertainment offerings (so shows, parades, and fireworks are included) and I appropriate 10 points to a first choice, 9 for a second choice, and so forth all the way down to 1 point for 10th. So, with 4 of us voting, here are the results:
Indiana Jones wins for the first time! This was Judi's first time on Indiana Jones and she loved it! So with another person voting for it, and Splash Mountain gone, Indiana Jones finally earned the top spot. Here are the results:
