Just thinking of all the people that loved Disney and will never be back 💔😢

I lost my grandfather to it. Still doesnt seem real. Im sure it will when everyone gets back together again.

"When you wish upon a star" gets me crying every time in the park

[@san6119]

November 2018 my son choose to go to Disneyland for his Make A Wish trip. It was more magical than I ever anticipated. My son still talks about meeting his favorite Pixar characters. This video is bringing back all the magic right through my screen. I'm all goosebumps. I can't imagine what your experience was like. We are from British Columbia Canada, and are saving to come back again. Thanks for your videos

[@darlenelake9308]

I have cried so much listening to the excitement in your voices. Thank you Katie and Spencer for taking us along with you. ❤

[@jamien622]

True disney lovers can't help to scream and shout when disney cheer is all around ❤❤❤💕💕 !!!

[@lilybean732]

Omgg!!! I am literally crying every second of this!! Yea WDW is amazing but NOTHING LIKE BEING AT DISNEYLAND AND BEING HOME. Thank you guys soo much for this!!!

[@Boriquapearlnn]

I mean, the jaunt to WDW was nice 😉, but THIS is where it's at..home on the west coast. These vibes are just so special. Thank you for making this about more than just the food. 🖤❤️💛

[@chrisdisney8201]

Very emotional indeed, I’m not a crier but I have a feeling I will shed a tear when I’m finally back there. You guys are lucky! Thanks for sharing the preview 🙏

[@pinkyyoshimakeup]

I lost count how many times I cried! Thank you for sharing this beautiful memory with us ♥️

[@stevenchan7239]

For all of those who are not able to make it there, thank you guys so much for sharing your first day back at Disney with us.

[@baileylawler1958]

Had to pause this video not even a minute in because I got CHILLS seeing you all in the park holding the map and finally in the park for real! 😭❤️

[@ummato3]

Love seeing you guys and Dylan so happy! You make us all happy and bring us HOPE! THANK YOU ONCE AGAIN ❤️!

[@EvaLovesDisney]

So happy for the California cast members and for everyone in Cali! This is a great start! I got emotional right along with Katie!

[@steveperalta3063]

So my Family and I just got back from visiting WDW for the 1st time. It's been a dream of ours to one day visit WDW and it was phenomenal. And we look forward to going back again. Most likely when most if not all the restrictions have been lifted. But The "OG", Disneyland will always be home for us. We are, or we're annual pass holders lol. But Disneyland has a special connection about it. A soul that is intimate and captivating. Can't explain it. And I probably sound a little weird, but for those who can relate to what I'm saying, they understand. Can't wait for the re-opening!!

[@bellab2889]

Totally agree, I’m from Australia and I’ve been lucky enough to go to Disneyland twice and I felt what you have explained. I can’t describe it either but it’s why I watch these guys and FreshBaked and Adam the Woo because they ‘get’ it too. I watch them because I can’t go there like they can.

[@bellab2889]

@@pellyl9473 yes, as soon as we can travel again my first stop will be Disneyland. Last time was in 2014 so lots of changes since then and looking forward to all the new things there! We were thinking about WDW last time as we had our 3 teenage kids with us and wanted to visit NASA but travelled to others parts of the USA & Europe instead as our time was limited. Oh well maybe next time 😊

[@Brandyrose111]

Omg the vintage announcer guy but with a modern twist! I absolutely LOVE THAT! And this video is so amazing constantly makin me watery eyed! Ugh why do I have to be in Arizona?! So close yet so far. Thank you for the great video though. At least I can live through you guys! 😭💖

[@BestlifeandBeyondofficial]

Glad you enjoyed it! Happy to have you here virtually

[@Imzadi]

“This was the worst year ever..” Yes Katie, yes, it was.

[@pixiepinkcrystalsrosetta7027]

Great timing picturing the "Emotional Whirlwind" ride after Katie shared hers with us! We all know how you feel and can't wait until all of us can get back into CA and Disneyland! Until then, we'll take the journey with you. 🥰

[@amybailon6551]

Loved Seeing MANDO of FIVE FIRES at Touch Of Disney!

[@YOyellowsubmarine]

Me and my boyfriend went to Disneyland every year for 5 years until COVID (I live in WA state) so that’s our home park. I loooove Disney world vlogs but seeing you guys in California adventure makes me so emotional. Feels like home❤️

[@r.c.1750]

Thanks for the great walk-through. Definitely only a touch...can’t wait when they fully open up as the rides and shows are the heart of Disney.

[@funtimeswithfefe242]

Im bawling at the sound of the announcer talking jungle cruise talk about the mobile order. And omg goofy is fantastic. You guys start crying i keep crying and now im sabbing... So cool Dylan is there w you guys. I cant wait to go april 12th!

[@stephanieevans22]

With much hopes to start planning our next family trip I hope to meet you Katie and Spencer! This is so emotionally heart warming! ❤

[@funtimelouie1828]

I have been to many Disney Parks but there is only one original and that’s Disneyland and the feel of that Magic is superior in those California Parks !! Very special

[@micnmindisney]

Why am I crying if I'm not even there😭 My heart cant take it! If I'm crying just by watching a video I can imagine when I'm back at the parks omg!! My DISNEY OBSSESION got real thanks to KATIE N SPENCE so that's why it hits even deeper

[@lauradianeguerrero4937]

How great is the playlist they were playing in the park?!! They should release it for digital download!

Some of the shots of an empty portion of the park with the music playing were so eerie. Thank you for documenting this!

How amazing! I can not wait till we go again. ❤️ so exciting

Very happy that Disneyland and DCA is about to reopen. Glad they are hosting the event called Touch of Disney in March. A very good food festival inside DCA. Wish I could go but I live in the Bay Area.

I welled up watching this. Just seeing everyone back and happy to be back made me super emotional. Great video, Katie and Spence

[@sarahkelly9879]

I LOVE your WDW vlogs but there is nothing better than seeing you guys back in DLR. Can’t wait for the years coming 😊😊❤️❤️

[@lalalauraann]

I'm with you guys, that soundtrack seemed incredible but also really intense on the emotions. So good to be back and yet so depressing not to hear the yells coming from the rides. It's kinda creepy that everything is still (ride-wise). But this is a giant first leap for Disney-kind and the 30th will be here before we know it I'm sure.

[@themugglebookworm8799]

Its one thing to have the disney experience again, but its a whole other thing to finally be able to come HOME. Im so happy for you both and I cannot wait to go home myself.

[@BestlifeandBeyondofficial]

Thank you, it did feel great to be home as you said

[@Aaron-Nancy]

The map will be a classic! Likely this will NEVER happen again. Love your spirit! We can't wait to be there this weekend! Thank you!

[@somecrazedfan]

Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Love you guys and was totally crying with you while watching this. Seeing everybody so emotional, including the CMs, gave me all the feels. So grateful to you both for this channel during this past year especially. Katie and Spencer- you ROCK!

[@lisaluckvegas]

This video makes me want to go to A Touch of Disney! A year without the park is far too long! I was there closing day 3.13.20 and we haven't returned even for shopping yet. I didn't realize it was access to the entire park! What a great time for photo ops!

[@MESECKJUNK]

It is surprising how impressed you were to do something that was as normal as breathing just over a year ago. And it looked really off without people and rides moving. It doesn't look fully alive yet. Hopefully it will be soon. We are from Colorado so I am not anticipating the ability to get through the turnstiles for several weeks or months yet. Until then we will keep going to Florida.

[@BestlifeandBeyondofficial]

so true.. great plan still going to FL, so thankful we can enjoy the Disney Magic there

[@TejanaInPhx915]

I cried with your 1st purchase..lol!!

couldn't agree more

[@andreaganal712]

So excited for A Touch of Disney! Would you be able to do a video explaining how to link those tickets & photo pass to your account on the App?

[@JennNofficial]

That’s easy!! Find the barcode number on your e ticket then go to the app and type it in and it’s added! I did that for my touch of Disney ticket and it worked!!
