Do not compair de Efteling with Disney. I love Disney, but de Efteling is just...well...de Efteling...😅

Calling de Efteling(Disney) is an insult!!!!!!! Disney has verry match copied from de Efteling!!!! We Dutch became verry irritated of that that !!!!!!! Please stop witch that !!!!!!!!😡😡😡

I remember when you guys released the Haugen Creative video course!! Love that you're doing this!

Thanks, Hailey. Glad to see you pulled my request out of the ether. Been waiting for this for years now. Congratulations. x

So exciting!❤️❤️❤️

I LOVE THIS SO MUCH!!!!! Genius

Weird is just a matter of perspective.

21:46 Normally there is music on this ride which makes it so much more silly and fun! I recommend checking a on-ride video of it (Max & Moritz)!

“WE’RE LIKE FLYING!!” 7:48 I remember being that age, yelling the exact same thing in Dreamflight. Amazing vlog!

14:30 The Troll King predicts your future based on your zodiac sign. In reality it randomly picks 1 of 3 tracks, either he is very happy (the one you had in the video), very sad, or a bit neutral. The language he uses is basically gibberish, but some words in dutch can be made out like him yelling "Oh, that's.. HAH!" and then he just laughs for a full minute. Or "sadest sadness.. oh oyoyoy..." which is followed by a minute of generic negative mumblings and sad behavior

I grew up next to the Efteling. We would go at least once, sometimes twice a year. In the summertime. And, in winter because the park is extra special ❤ I still love it!

De Efteling is so unique compared to other theme parks and for a small country as the Netherlands is de Efteling is huge. I’ve bin there as a child myself a few times and every time I saw new things I didn’t see the last time.

How was your Flxibus experience to Efteling? Do they drop you off right in front of the entrance? Did you take the return service back?

Its more like a hill billy park with a Gipsy twist to it welcome to the Netherlands

visiting it.. 2 parents and 2 kids.. ... have to take a second mortgage on your house

efteling is not disney of the netherlands efteling is not comparable to disney efteling is on a whole other level...btw efteling was already there before disney started his park

De Efteling is one of a kind. It isn’t the Disneyland of the Netherlands. Mind you, De Efteling opened in 1952 !

Beautiful People 🫶✌️😊

Just a mention to all Dutch people complaining about referring to Disneyland. Please stop with the whining about it and being butt hurt about it not being the same thing, it's completely logical for foreigners (especially Americans) to make that comparison. You can't expect everyone not growing up in the Netherlands to know everything about it's history and theme-parks just like you yourself wouldn't know much about places in the US when visiting there. Just enjoy watching their first experience and mentioning how much they like it and accept they will not understand every attraction the same way because of cultural differences.

Well it is true that Efteling is older then Disney...the fata morgana rides takes inspiration of the its a small world ride from Disney. They went there to see how to improve the anamatronics......also Vila volta is about a local Thieves Guild of the past..

Pippa looks like Brad and also Gladys!

❤❤❤

What camera is this? Or did you add the filter? I’m looovving it ♥️

I'm sooo jealous!! in a good way!!!

I hope you and your lovely family had a great time at our national pride the efteling.. And we hope to see you back at the Efteling, a world of wonders.

There's also a smaller less known theme park called Sprookjeswonderland in Enkhuizen (more up north in the North Holland province) that is catered to kids and houses a lot of well known fairytales like Hans & Gretel, Sleeping Beauty, Snow White, and more.

Its so wonderful to see people who are not from the Netherlands visiting the park. If anyone ever needs a guide for translations and touring, just comment!

It must be Disney 1971 looks like Efteling 1952

Nice to see, you loved Efteling. I love it too!

I love the fata morgana im dutch🇳🇱 its about a forbidden city that holds secrets Middle East its a story fata morgana means you see things but it is not realy there.

So beautiful to see you enjoy this park im dutch visited 2 times😊🇳🇱

I have seen a lot of Efteling experience videos but yours was the best. It showed what Efteling is all about. The joy and surprised reactions were so sweet to watch. You are a lovely family❤

Disney is like Efteling, only less magical.

Fata Morgana was one of my favorite rides as a kid 🤣

I love to see your kids enjoy this park it is the whole point of Efteling. Instead of just making Money .. if you had fun is just a bonus 🙂

"Pioneer Day" - is that related to the LDS pioneers that founded Salt Lake City? So much interesting history and culture in Utah and SLC, especially around the Mormon migrations. Never been there but it's on my bucket list for sure!

Me and my girlfriend absolutely love this place, have some merch of it as well. It's a 2 hour drive for us, but even then we always go for a minimum of 2 days because as you said, the place is too big to do everything in 1 day, especially when it gets a bit crowded there's no way you can do everything. It's our perfect getaway. Going in October for the opening of the new haunted house attraction! We easily spend half a day in the fairytale forest alone.

What a lovely family you are❤

Fata Morgana is fantastic, don't understand your reaction

I love hearing you all laugh and having a great time.

Typical American, not knowing what to expect. But complaining about the opening hours and putting children in dit only for them scary attractions. The Efteling is not Disney you know

The other way around, Disney built his park after he saw the Efteling.

Will note timestamps for people. 1:16 The entrance to the Efteling. In maintenance, they are adding additional parking space (underground parking). 1:55 Entrance to Symbolica, also a shot with the Pagode in the background ('what the heck is that thing'), 3:47 the 'red ride' of Symbolica (there are 3 tracks which have minor deviations in what you get to see). Symbolica is a 'darkride' aimed at mostly families. It's just a few years old (july 2017), making it one of the newest attractions in the Efteling. The story involves Efteling characters and is an Efteling-only story 5:52 Holle Bolle Gijs, part of a family of statue-trashcans. Notable for saying 'Papier hier' 6:59 Waiting line for the Droomvlucht ('Dreamflight'), 7:29 Starting the Droomvlucht dark ride. Just like Symbolica it's a darkride aimed mostly at families, but for a lot of people it's a must-visit when visting the Efteling. The cars turn around, and you also get a decent fast part where you go down in a circle. Inspired by old folk tales which later on got made family-friendly in the form of the tale of Santa Clause. 10:19 Villa Volta. Despite the impression it gives you, you move at most 30 degrees but the chamber around you does a full 360. One of the more scary darkrides, aimed at thrillseekers. Story involves the Bokkenrijders, a criminal group which inflicted that much fear in the Netherlands and Belgium infamous legends came to exist about them which attributed things like flying on goats to them. 12:01 The Volk van Laaf (People of Laaf) monorail. You move it just like you move a bike. Volk van Laaf is a small themed area aimed mostly at young kids. 12:36 Sprookjesbos ('Fairy tale forest'), a nature walk with several different fairy tales featured in it. Aimed at 3-10 year old children and their parents. 16:01 Vogelrok ('Bird's skirt') waiting line, an rollercoaster which takes place in the dark. Mostly sharp turns and some drops. Minimum ride height in effect. 16:11 Carnival Festival, family darkride. Features a lot of stereotypes of countries and yes, that includes the Netherlands too. 16:39 The Vogelrok ride 17:21 Gondoletta, a boatride across the pond/lake. Brad, Hailey and the family didn't go on those boats on the film at least 18:04 Vliegende Hollander ('Flying Dutchman'), a combined water/rollercoaster ride. Here also there are minimum ride heights if I recall correctly. 19:18 The Python. Minimum ride height in effect. Features multiple loopings and very sharp turns. One of the oldest attractions. 21:21 Max& Moritz, a family-friendly roller coaster. Opened in 2020. Previously on that location was a bobsled rollercoaster which got torn down because of the maintenance requirements. 23:05 Fata Morgana, a boat darkride inspired by the 1001 Nights story. Good to see you had fun 😀 Fata Morgana used to be more busy in the past. In October the replacement of the Spookslot ('Ghost castle') which was family friendly will open called Dans Macabre. You might've seen the construction during your visit nearby Baron 1988 which you passed by at 20:48. Dans Macabre is to the right of that. DM will probably be very much not family-friendly. During your stay the Piranha,, a water ride, probably still was in maintenance together with some others which were family-friendly? Hope you'll come back once more to the Netherlands 😀 Edit: The one you called the water rollercoaster inbetween the Python and Vliegende Hollander is not a water rollercoaster 😉 Just like Max&Moritz the Joris en de Draak ('Joris and the Dragon') rollercoaster is a dual-track ride, but made of wood.

the thing is with efteling,they take fairytales and history and make it historicly accurate,with fata morgana you see easern india 1001 nights,with villa volta its a fiary tale about the buckriders who steal houses,one of the buckriders house is haunted and cursed,its why some rides seem creepy but there realisticly taken from the story:)

*Disneyland the Efteling of the world

Will you theme park reviewers please NEVER, EVER call them the Efteling Disneyland of the Netherlands again? It's really a gross insult! The Efteling is older and much better. Disneyland Paris, in particular, is a drama with rude staff and bad food. Do us a favor and don't call Efteling Disneyland. Thanks!

Alittle tip, you have 2 different tickets. One from 7-6 and one from 10-10 so u can stay a little longer in the park

Hello, May I share the most important news with you? God the Father sent his Holy Son Jesus (Y'shua) to earth to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on the cross for our sins. After that they put Him in a tomb for 3 days, and on the 3rd day Abba Father raised Jesus to life and He appeared to people. Then Christ ascended back to heaven. We all must genuinely believe in Christ and receive Him into our life as Savior to be saved (Please see John 1:12 for this). Will you put genuine faith in Christ and receive Him into your life today?

The shoe going down the stairs had me dying 😂😂😂 your filming and editing makes everything look so good! 👏🏼 always enjoy your videos and gives me inspiration for my own family travels!

Its funny to see how Americans just don't understand Fata Morgana and other more sinister parts of the Efteling. In Europe, it isn't that common to sugarcoat every story we tell or every media we consume. I think Efteling is a great example of that. The typical style of the park, with the whimsical figures and curved architecture is based on the works of the Dutch artist Anton Pieck. He and some other people were the founders of the park back in the fifties.
