D23 Expo Day 1 | ToonTown and Tiana Models + Archives and Shopping!

[@squishyshelli]

Seeing Walt's notes on the park entrance is truly incredible. 🤩

[@lcflngn]

Def my favorite thing in this awesome full-of-stuff vlog!

[@Eric_DeMent]

Disney Sea is the best looking Disney Theme Park because Its not owned or operated by Disney. Sometimes i wish Oriental Land Company would just make their own Disney Theme Park in the US. The other thing that remarkable is how fast OLC build their attractions. I have not done the math but i know its a lot faster then in the US. I would love to go there in my lifetime.

[@johnwinheim3248]

Disney Co management are a disgrace.

[@charlotte68]

The bride was sooooo much scarier with the beating heart. I wish they would fix her.

[@StarseekerAtlas]

30:30 Lol, Jeff Bridges actually played Kevin Flynn in TRON, while Bruce Boxleitner played Tron.

[@DanannRising]

Amazing! I'm a Historian and museum professional. Thank you, SO MUCH, for showing all of the historic artifacts and props!!! Love you too!

[@disnerd1982]

Great coverage, Fresh Baked! So exciting to see Adam the Woo and Hey Brickey shopping with you!

[@Nutmeg9436]

Thank you so much for taking us along with you! Seeing all those props, history, and mementos is making me emotional. So happy! Thank you, David!

[@xKiiinng]

Thanks for showing us all of these things from D23. You wouldn’t see any of this on most KZbin videos. Everything‘s always about the coverage of the big news from panels and stuff.

[@thebluetarp]

We need to be looking at Tokyo Disneyland for guidance on how to build new attractions

[@lauraf9860]

Step one is to not have Disney own the parks. The Tokyo parks are run so well because they aren’t owned by Disney.

[@xCaLLMeGHeTTo]

@@lauraf9860 Yup. The only guidance Tokyo Disneyland could give is "have more money". 🤣

[@ilicia_08]

Disney wouldn’t dish out the money 😔

[@genialgigi1800]

Yes, I believe the owner of Tokyo Disney expects the best quality and has great passion for the park.

[@genialgigi1800]

Thanks for taking us with you. 😀

[@nancyegan841]

Hope you can meet up with the Tim Tracker family. Their boy is about the same age as your little girl. Love your videos!

[@TheMowsefan]

The "FLYNN'S" sign was in DCA years ago. They set up an arcade with old video games and decor. It was really cool.

[@DFX1701]

So cool to see you, Adam the Woo, & Brickey hanging out & having lunch together in Adam's video 😁

[@angel.deleon]

Thank you David for taking us all with you! That was my first D23 experience. 🙏 How magical!

[@KarenLawana]

Thank you so much for the very best D23 coverage I've seen. I rode on Haunted Mansion at WDW in 1971 when I was 8 years old. Seeing the items from that ride and that time period brought tears to my eyes. Thanks again for all that you do to make such great content.

[@carrievaldez3708]

I never really had much interest in d23. But I would go just to see all those screen used props. So amazing!!!

[@bybun]

Looking forward to your D23 coverage! And amazing work David getting this video out so quick! 👏

[@Lizzybunny99]

Well I gonna be missed Splash Mountain and I wish Disney would built princess Tiana own ride.

[@zeroconsequences]

Lol David's never been in line for Splash Mountain longer than 30 minutes it seems. Those trees above Brier Patch are already out there about 45mins into the queue. The night time imaging of Tiana's Bayou looks ok but overall I can't help but notice this is just a poorly concepted overlay when what needs to happen is an entire overhaul. I love Splash Mountain and would prefer it stay the way it is without letting Twitter activists dictate Disneyland history, but as David points out there are no mountains in the bayou.. in fact, the stretch of land between NOLA and Lake Pontchartrain is so far below sea level they need 17ft dams to keep the water out of all the wards. It feels like Imagineering didn't bother with actual research on southern red clay versus marshland alluvium deposits that we see in the bayou. Also, they're keeping the exterior lumber mill which I would hate to see go, but in a supposedly Southern Louisiana swamp spot it's a laughable idea. I know I'm being too technical here but it's from a place Imagineering USED to go and doesn't appear to even bother with anymore. I think I'll just take my money to Universal if the experience will end up being the same. Half-assed.

[@ALLiiive]

Yessssss !! This !!

[@SilentChaosBby]

Bruh... chill 😂😂😂

[@wolftress2503]

That sad mound at the top of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure is so disappointing. The mountain spire on the top of Splash Mountain is iconic and I love seeing it from across the park. Too bad they didn’t do more with that.

[@xCaLLMeGHeTTo]

Mountain spire? I'm pretty sure it's a petrified tree. And to be honest, I could be looking at the attraction head on and not even notice it. I'm much more occupied with observing the screaming faces coming down the drop. 😅

[@zeroconsequences]

That's Chickapin Hill. Yeah, with the initial concept art they were going to imagine Mama Odie's boat/treehouse as the hilltop. In my opinion, that would be a better concept for Tarzan's Treehouse replacement rather than Splash Mountain.

[@pleasantfall7281]

I love the concept of it. But it definitely could look better. Oh well guess they’re spending the cash on the inside?

[@thebluetarp]

@@xCaLLMeGHeTTo um no. When looking at the splash down hill it’s 100% silhouetted by the “petrified tree” without even knowing it. Just like the spires in GE. Just like the icy top of matterhorn. Don’t be foolish!

[@Faded_Chew]

@@zeroconsequences I read somewhere that the reason Mama Odie's boat was cut is because it would've made the facade too top-heavy and the structure wouldn't be able to support it. While yeah, it looks kinda off without Chickapin Hill, I will admit it's growing on me.

[@virginialake5080]

You did great, David.👍 Coverage was fantastic, always attention to detail. Walt's statue .... WOOOW😍❤️

[@ChrisLucas3]

The pine trees on the splash model are already there, the Ponderosa pines. Planted in 1960. The trees inspired Bear Country all together

[@robmagu65]

Interesting stuff for sure. While I NO LONGER support the current Disney, it is fun to look back at Walt's true vision for the parks was. It's a pity, they strayed so far away from that.

[@ScanFan_Ed]

Agree. In my opinion, current Disney leadership could absolutely care less about Walt, his visions and dreams.

[@GkickTor]

I love the Imagineering Story music randomly in the background

[@ainsleyperry5192]

FreshBaked, David. Thank you for taking time to look at the exhibits, models and also the Archives exhibit. A lot of people also put their tour's on line. But they all seemed to go through the exhibition area's on fast foreward. You hardly got to see anything in any detail. I'm sure one person must have been on roller skates, she/ he zipped around so quickly. Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@vegasdisneytravelers]

Thank you so much for all of the DL content you share and the D23 content of just no agenda wondering, we will be there next year

[@lindab3293]

LOVED your casual approach at day 1,looks like it made the experience so much more enjoyable! Saw a livestream yesterday and the streamer was so stressed out most of the time. Thank you! Hope the other days are just as fun! 😃👍🏼❤️

[@denisemichelle167]

Awesome video David! I can’t wait for tomorrow’s.

[@peterharris8471]

can't wait to experience the new Tianna ride!

[@Christy-fv6bx]

Thanks for taking us along to D23 David!! Love all the original artifacts. Never really wanted to go before but I love all the historical stuff, maybe 2024. Thanks for the video, I know you have been so busy, much appreciated!

[@jarjarboujee]

Amazing video! Funny that David has no plan and yet this is I think the best video I have seen coming out of D23. Thank you…from those of us that can’t be there. 👍

[@MsKitcloudkicker]

6:00 thanks for mentioning gadget coaster!!! My daughter was big enough to ride it for first time before the closure.. can’t wait to go again!!!

[@DZstudios.]

It’s becoming Chip dale’s Gadget coaster

[@LexOnTheWeb]

Dave thanks so much for posting these walkthrough videos! I wish so badly that I could be there this year but this is the next best thing!!

[@collagehouse]

Excellent tour of Expo Day 1, thanks David!

[@rinifoxworthy]

David with the quickness! Thanks for getting this to us so fast! I’m sure you had a long night. 😅

[@jasmineharrison673]

Oh wow. I just saw Mary Poppins' dress and I'm actually starstruck 😂 The hours and hours I spent as a little girl finding anything flowy in my mother's wardrobe to pretend I was Mary Poppins dancing around our living room like I was in a chalk picture 😍 I need to believe that is the one Julie Andrews actually wore in the film. I'm ok with it being a back up too. But just wow, I'd never go to D23 so thank you for bringing this to us David.

[@robertjones1729]

Thank you again Dave..sorry i missed you on this trip..Sept 6,7,8 but amybe next time. Thanks again

[@socal310-b2v]

Love fresh baked. Thanks Dave. Good stuff!

[@sharonshade4437]

Are the vendors only Disney licensed/authorized merchandisers? The mountain and waterfall in a Louisiana Bayou for Tianna still cracks me up. 😂

[@DawnShortMsShortyTV]

That's IT! I'm going to a D23 someday! This was so much fun to watch. I was geeking out and just had the best time! Can't wait for days 2 and 3! Thank you!

[@LittleFootProduce]

So you can see a disco light how coming from the inside at the top…. My prediction is that the mama Odie singing with all the animals and all the colorful lights is probably gonna be inside the lift hill before the big drop or just at the top and then you get up fall out the bottom of the boat or something like that.

[@AbbieM82]

Thank you for getting great footage of the Archives exhibit. We totally forgot to go through there. And, for us, MOG was a let down this year. 2019 Expo I bought a TON of stuff. This year…meh…probably spent a fifth as much. And I wish they hadn’t split up the stores. Used to be 3. This year there were 6 or so and all virtual boarding groups only. Didn’t know what would be in each store and wasted time finally getting a group, waiting to get in, just to find that I didn’t want much in there. But, this was my only con this year. Rest of the Expo was excellent. Much smoother operations than the previous 4 years that we’ve been.

[@cristalw640]

@12:25 I hope it will be used for Maui!!! I felt his character was just so stiff. Or Ralph!!!

[@janinejohnson9654]

I’m so jealous. D23 is on my bucket list. I have to wait until I retire because I am a teacher and this event is too early in the beginning of the school year. I have to come from Sacramento. 😩 I am glad you are enjoying it, David. You look so happy.

[@runrgrl35]

I’m a teacher from Sacramento as well and I DID retire this year. D23 was on my bucket list but by the time I was able to get tickets ( financially) etc. The 3 day passes were gone…and I’m a D23 gold member!☹️😫

Am I the only one who thinks that the new Walt statue looks as if he’s sitting on the crapper? (Kind of appropriate, considering that’s where chapek has taken the company.)

[@WindowtotheMagic]

We call it “Walt on a commode.” 😃

[@dochocson]

My wild guess to explain the mountain: Through mysterious means, a mountain suddenly appears in the Bayou. Tiana and Company go on an Adventure to explore the area.

[@jasonwinder2478]

Just adding videos to the queue. Great way to start the day.

[@nadine6518]

On Disney+ there is something called Prop Culture. Back to the Movies. It is absolutely fascinating. All about some of the props used in Tron, Mary Poppins and others. You need to watch it! It gave me chills.

[@randolphwilliams2365]

I have been a Disney Imagineering fanatic most of my life and their model builders were extraordinary. I literally feel like that I'm looking at something that a cake baker would have made with frosting. hate to be critical but I'm just so disappointed at the way Disney seems to get rid of extraordinary talent. I'm assuming the executives don't really understand the product that they put out over the years.

[@AdamConus]

I would put a framed print of the hand written plaque text on my wall. That was wonderful!

[@BaronKilaton]

A place that inspired Walt outside the roundabout in Griffith Park and Marceline is Silver Springs Florida. When I visited and I saw the glass bottom boats and the park it screamed Disneyland. I don’t think that park gets enough credit.

[@salgallucci6403]

1. If Coaster is not shown and D.Duck has swimmers; Are they moving the boat over and giving a bigger swim area and no Coaster? 2. Movies "Wish" has a tree in pic and "Elemental" has jungle like back ground with a C... S... of color in the title? Can't wait to see more!

[@mikestrauss5968]

World of Dreams reminds me of the old Journey into Imagination rainbow tunnel. Please bring that back!

[@aseainfo]

I feel like Disney is just cramming Tiana into an existing ride for the sake of doing it (to make the SJW crowd happy) but it doesn't really make sense. The water tower is very familiar. Is that the same water tower from Disney Springs with a different logo? The ride feels like it's just going to be a basic cheap reskin with new fake plants glued on the outside of the "mountain?"...This has Bob Paycheck and current Disney leadership written all over it. Not impressed personally but whatever. Times always change.

[@Camquarters]

They needed more willow trees etc to create a bayou theme outdoors. I think a Pocahontas ride would have been amazing. Why can’t we do more with the classics? I’m surprised they did an entire ride for a movie I hardly ever hear anyone talk about. Oh well.

[@jennifermcneil8349]

I've been reading Bob Chapek announced at D23 an expansion and an attraction to include the multiverse concept and a ride where you can fight alongside Marvel heroes? Please confirm. I also noticed Oswald in some of the art outside of D23. I love Oswald. If they have anything on Oswald, I hope you're able to find it, considering the Anaheim Convention Center is huge.

[@samanthadavies1450]

That shimmering inside of the Tiana model has to represent something like the scene in the movie with mama odi and the bottles during the song "Dig a little deeper". Even though it's going to be a continuation of tiana's story, they would be crazy to not add that beautiful scene in the ride. That's my guess...
