Your excitement for this exhibit really came through during the video, thanks for highlighting some interesting features. Almost matches your excitement at Hoop Dee Doo Revue. 😅. Would be fun to see an ariel view of one or more of the parks and watch it morph over the years, for example 20,000 Leagues transition to New Fantasyland.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Funny you say that.. I’ve actually tried producing a video for tiktok where i do an satellite photography time lapse of Magic Kingdom, but because of the low quality in the earlier years, it didn’t end up working out 😭 Maybe one day 🤷‍♂️ Thank you for watching 🙏🙏

[@nikmorin]

Great video once again Ryan! Always look forward to the uploads! These longer videos really scratch the itch. Pooh for president deserves an Oscar. Would love to see Walt’s train from home added to the expo.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Yess!! Walt’s cigarette delivery train that he had at his personal residence NEEEDS to be added! Thanks for watching and the love for the pooh video 🥹🙏

Robin Williams is a disney legend, nobody has made more people smile than him!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

He’s literally one of the greatest of all time! He made aladdin for me (the original and the third one cuz he wasn’t in the second) 😅

[@LetsGoHelio]

This was awesome! I’m so behind on Disney history! From the pleasure island video to this one, you’re the king of making history fun to learn. I’ll check out the Pooh for President video. I had no idea that Robin Williams didn’t want people to know it was him.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thanks!! I really gotta do more of the history videos! With the Robin Williams thing... It wasn't that he didn't want people knowing he was in it, it was more that he didn't want Disney using his celebrity for the promotion. So credit was fine but not like massive campaigns 😂 Thank you as always for watching 🙏

[@LetsGoHelio]

@@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs great to know! Thanks Ryan!

[@jen_dinsmo]

So awesome you could visit this exhibit, I had never heard of it! Thanks for sharing with us!

[@leahpalmateer7941]

Great video! Lots of cool history to check out. I love interactive pieces so maybe more of that.

[@randy8651]

Great video thanks for sharing. It’s awesome to see all the great work and stories that supports the franchise. Keep up all the great work!!!😊- Randy

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank you so much Randy!! 🙏

[@Nitaseyboldsault161]

Very enjoyable Thanks for braving g that insane Chicago cold bring us this ❤

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank YOU for coming along for this one! Tbh i was only outside the building at the beginning for about two minutes and that was already too much for me. it warmed up a bit afterwards. but still hella cold for a florida boy 🥶

[@ellef8215]

We went right before Christmas to the Chicago one and it was so awesome to see. It was really well done and I loved seeing real artifacts right in front of me.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

I definitely feel that! Its one thing to see old photos or videos from that time, but to have the stuff right in front of you is so cool! Highly recommend! Thank you so much for watching 🙏

[@lindseyrtews3278]

So cool to see you in the Midwest! Looks like a great experience, I would geek out over the original Sleeping Beauty book.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

It was a hectic 24 hours for sure but i made it though 😅 tbh i talked a little about that but ended up cutting it out because I didn’t want people to know my big secret.. i still haven’t seen sleeping beauty 😬 Don’t tell anyone 🤫

[@DigitalMumbles]

I remember those bobsleds! As a teen, one of my friends sat in the bobsled with my OTHER friend's boyfriend and it became a whole issue the rest of the trip lol. I'd love to see more concept art! I'd spend all day at that character table.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Back at my home park (Six Flags Great America) there is a ride with those tandem seats just like that and i always got stuck with my siblings 😆 I definitely could’ve spent so much more time in there. Thanks for watching 🙏🙏

[@juliekretzmer7449]

Fun video. I’d like to see some more from Roy Disney and original drawings included.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Wouldn’t a Roy disney room be a bunch of spreadsheets and checkbooks? Everything I’ve heard about the company is that he was the financial side of everything. 😅 still very cool! Thank you so much for watching 🫶🙏

[@TytusIPlanck]

Pooh for president is goated

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank you 🙏 🥹

[@susan_elizabeth]

Hi Ryan! I would say I'm a pity viewer, but after following you for several months now, have I leveled up to masochist viewer? 🤣 I'm off to get some chemo treatment today, so the old lady will not be zooming around on the snowmobile in northern Michigan today. Thanks for bringing us along to Chicago! 💜

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

I’ll have to figure out the different levels of pity viewers soon! One of which might have to include some type of blood sacrifice, but we’ll figure that out later (legal i have to say this is a joke) Good luck today at chemo!! You’ve got this!! 🙏🙏🫶

[@aleeshawheatley548]

Thank you so much for this amazing video! I had no idea this was in Chicago. I leave tomorrow for a work trip and this will definitely be on my list of must see during down time!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Oh definitely try to check it out! There’s so much more to see that didn’t make it into the edit! 👀🙏

[@alikatt]

Pitty viewer crew checking in. If you haven't seen it, you have to watch the Pooh for President vlog. It's incredible!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank you thank you 🙏 🥹

[@weaseljavelin9443]

My name is Craig Dennis how are you doing today and i am doing fine today i never miss your new videos and i in joy all of your videos all the time and they are great videos and you have a nice safe day today and you take care today and you be very careful today👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thanks Craig!! You have a nice safe day too!! 🙌

[@allaboardblakestrainsandmore]

Really cool exhibit! Our art museum is partnering with W.D. Archives to get Heroes and Villains: The Art of Disney Costumes exhibit. . Running February-August. Looking forward to it.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

That sounds great!! You’ll have to let me know how that is! I really miss these museum trips and i’ve definitely got to do more soon 😅

[@jugatsu23nichi]

Great video, Ryan! I made it to the end of the video but my number one question is, Will you be showing us any yummy Chicago Style food?! Thanks for this video!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

First off.. thank you so much for making it to the end! To answer your question: Unfortunately, no. I only had a couple meals when in town then it was back to the sunshine state 24 hours later 😅 I get super stressed when I travel, that mixed with filming a vlog where no one films vlogs normally is a recipe for disaster for me. So until I get more confident imma stick to mostly park stuff for now. 😭

[@jugatsu23nichi]

@@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs Cool ! And again, thanks for the awesome video!

[@theboringkaren]

I wish I got to see this exhibit when it was Philly but I was kinda busy recovering from major surgery. 😅 I'm glad to see it through your lens!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Hope you’re feeling better now! Also, happy to be able to bring it to ya now 😅🙏 Thank you as always for watching 🙏

[@Jarvel5]

I really need to go check this exhibit out before it leaves. It's about a 4 hour drive for me from Ohio. After seeing your video and also all the other things in Chicago to see and film, I say it's worth it.

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Oh most definitely worth a day trip! You’ve got some time, the exhibition isn’t leaving till april. There’s a bunch of construction in millennium Park downtown at the moment, so just keep that in mind if you’re trying to go there too 😅

[@Jarvel5]

@@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs I appreciate the heads up!

[@meredithchudy3426]

We saw this in Philly last March and it was amazing!!! Although I don’t remember them having the partners statue at the end like that unless we missed it somehow!

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Yeah, it may have been something that they added. When it moved to Chicago, I feel like it’s a good storybook, ending to exhibit. 🙏🙏

[@drshepherd1969]

Awesome exhibit. Doubt I'll make it to Chicago so thanks for taking us along. Not sure what they could add, it looks so awesome as it is. I jumped on the website to see what other US cities they are going to and I for doesn't have anymore US cities at the moment. Has a couple out of country locations. Hopefully they will add some more and I'll have to go! You and Nate got me hooked on RSVLTS shirts, especially the Disney 100 shirts, so thanks. Lol. Great work Ryan. Check out the observation platform at the old Sears tower (can't remember the newer name of the building at the moment), the view is awesome at night. Stay warm! Thanks again Ryan for you awesome vlogs

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank you so much for the support 🙏 Happy to hear we’ve helped start some healthy addictions 😅I was only in chicago a little over 48 hours so I didn’t have time to do much else! I heard the new observation deck on the Willis tower is very nice 👀

[@drshepherd1969]

​@@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs yeah the Willis tower! I went there like 8 years ago in the winter like you did/are and it was an awesome view but it was too dang cold for me!

[@lirr408]

Thank you for taking us to this exhibit. I love your excitement for the museum. Did you see any Chicago Fire or Chicago Pd filming while in Chicago?

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Thank YOU for watching!! I did not see any filming for the two Chicago shows. It was far too cold for that i think! I also have no idea where they film. I didn’t really leave the north side when i was there 🤷‍♂️😅

[@kaylaandmarkalan]

So so cool you got to go to this! I think it would be really cool if they bring this to the parks somehow. But they probably won’t because they can’t make as much money off of it. 🙃

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

Honestly, maybe after it tours around a bunch, it could find a permanent home in the old NBA experience building 👀👀 I know people have always said it would be a great spot for a Walt Disney museum 🤷‍♂️

[@meta527II]

I’d say the only really BAD thing was at the beginning when they had what I think was an Ai imitation of Walt Disney making a speech. It’s understandable that they couldn’t get the real Walt Disney since he died decades ago, but to use an Ai imitation of him? People keep accusing Modern Disney of “intentionally s#%tting on Walt Disney’s grave” with their remakes, but if there’s ANYTHING you should accuse Disney of for doing that, it’s the usage of an Ai-generated Walt Disney imposter.

[@noellesimagination7813]

This pity viewer really pities you today for dealing with the cold tundra of the Chicago area. lol. No, really, I hope you are back for good things, not bad. Also, I like your funny comment about Walt and his cigarettes. Now I am wondering if his courtesy two finger point came from having a cigarette in his hand and not from that fact that it's rude to point in other countries???

[@ForTheLoveOfThemeParksVlogs]

I truly believe that the two finger point is based off of the cigarette thing and nothing else 😅 Thank you so much for the pity view 🙏🫶
