[@CassandraaAnn]

[@DaveHales]

I had no idea

[@mrjolieguy8673]

[@theshadowknows2]

I love how excited you are in your videos. It’s really uplifting.

[@provostparkpass]

Thank you.

[@TheLostBoysGirls]

First off, love your reaction when Mickey passed by Mortimer's Market. Secondly, you made another fantastic secrets video. This could be our new favorite secrets video from you. Lots of interesting fun facts and history with Buena Vista Street. So cool that you also met Tony too. We met him during our last visit at the park. Thank you for making this video. We can't wait for more! 😃

[@TheLostBoysGirls]

Also, we know know another reason why Cinderella is terrible at soccer. It's because she keeps losing her shoes. Lol 😄

[@TheLostBoysGirls]

Here's a few more trivia about Buena Vista Street. On the right side, there is a building with a sign where there's art classes being taught there with the list of 9 people. Those are the 9 Old Men, the original top animators that worked alongside Walt Disney. Another one is that in the candy shop window there is a replica of a Disneyland attraction that was planned for Fantasyland in Disneyland called Big Rock Candy Mountain. It would have been a ride where guests where the Casey Jr train through the mountain. If you look really hard inside of the mountain, you might even find a yeti which references the Matterhorn.

[@TheLostBoysGirls]

Provost Park Pass Definitely check it out on your next visit. Glad you enjoyed that piece of trivia. 😃

[@TheLostBoysGirls]

Provost Park Pass We agree as well. 😃👍

[@joeleon5009]

I never knew there was a restaurant inside the Carthay Circle, that is so awesome. I can't get enough of these videos. My knowledge of Disneyland continues to grow. I love the facts about these lands. Awesome job as always Chris! Kudos!

[@paultowarnicki5359]

Awesome video! I love DCA! FYI: "Bounds" was Lillian Disney's maiden name, not Walt's mother's. Walt's mother's name was Flora Call Disney.

[@PatoSwag]

26381/2 means if there’s two apartments then they would have the same adress and they would be the second floor or what ever floor

[@chloeaala9338]

Why is your videos so professional all the time and so perfect?!!? ❤️🙌🏼

[@reneecormalis624]

We used to have park passes and went ALL THE TIME. NOW, can't afford them but I'm getting my Disney fix from you so THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

[@crashbird]

I love all your videos so so much! I live in Florida so I don't get to go to Disneyland and Disney's Cali Adventure but watching these videos make me feel like I'm there and learning amazing things!

[@nzjonty]

I didn’t know any of these secrets! Super interesting video - an area of the parks that has hardly been covered. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@n2udp01]

Love it new video! Every time I watch your videos I learn a LOT NEW things from the parks thank you for sharing.

[@toshibavoodoo]

Great, getting excited to get back into Disneyland.

[@wilhelmenadreyer9844]

Always look forward to your videos! Thank you for allowing us to live vicariously through you! Truly has been getting me through a pretty boring summer

[@steamdonkey8898]

When he started freaking out about Mickey around: 2:46, and the mom got freaked out and pulled her kid back. 🤣.

[@presleyb1189]

Me and my family loves Bruna Vista st ! That is our favorite thing in California adventure! Your tips and tricks are very useful for our family trips to Disney!! Thank you so much keep up the good work!!!

[@kelseyberteaux6093]

Concerning the 2638 1/2 The first two digits of all the addresses (26 or 27) refer to two of the years that the Walt Disney Studios were located on Hyperion Avenue in Los Angeles. The second two digits often, though not always, correspond to a milestone year in the history of the Studios. For example, the address of Julius Katz Shoe and Watch Repair is 2701 Buena Vista St., representing the year of Walt Disney’s birth - 1901. Not sure which Disney event in 1938 (June or July) this is referring to, though....

[@ErikLucas]

One interesting anecdote about Oswald is that Disney re-acquired him when they “traded” Al Michaels to NBC from Monday Night Football several years ago. Crazy stuff lol.

[@shaned5570]

I am new to your channel, I really like your videos. Keep them coming brings back a lot of memories and learning a lot new stuff. Well done

[@cathyspencer3001]

I knew a few of these things but learned so much new stuff! Thanks for sharing!

[@nettlesoup8967]

Definitely my favourite KZbin channel 💕

[@KristineTsui]

Yes!

[@dejonckheere100]

Just a big thank you for always serving the best trivia vids on Disney. I absolutly love the way you present your show…My husband sings the Scar-role at the Disneyland Lion king show here in Paris. Next time you visit Paris,you should totally cover this incredible Broadway style show. It’s such a huge succes here, they are going to do a third season next year.Big hug and keep up the great work.

[@juangodinez4616]

Another great video! Love the channel !

[@pyraminxcuber7814]

Good morning! I love your videos! Keep up the great work. I never knew so much detail went into the building of the Disney parks.

[@pyraminxcuber7814]

Provost Park Pass Yeah it is crazy to think about. Also, the pyraminx isn’t that hard to solve just look up a tutorial and you’ll find its pretty easy.

[@scorpihoe]

I love how you fanboy like a little kid whenever you see Mickey or any character just walking around! Like ME TOOOO

[@AlbertNaranjo]

I am going to Disneyland in December... but I am already ghb getting into the excitement of planning. So I am watching a lot of KZbin Disney videos and stumbled upon your channel. FANTASTIC! Count 1 more subscriber to the list!

[@louis979]

*Phone gets a notifaction that you uploaded while im working Me to my boss: Hey can I take my break right now

[@co-hostamanda3240]

2 Adrian Meza this is the best comment ever!! 😄👏👏

[@richardharden4437]

Another Disney premiere at Cathay Circle was Fantasia (1940), and it had the most elaborate audio system in use at the time, Fantasound, a pioneering stereophonic process, was installed at this theatre.

[@rosalieisshook6927]

Did anyone see that guy dab at 0:05 what an icon😂 Btw I love your videos

[@scoring310]

Great video, so much enthusiasm! Way to match the sunny Californian attitude ;) BTW, Bounds was Walt's wife Lilian's last name. In fact in the early days, to get off of awkward situations, The Disneys would register their name under Lilian's maiden name in hotels.

[@rubiebaker4107]

Great video! So much trivia! I'm really happy they changed this area to Buena Vista street and included more Disney History.

[@BeautifulTomorrowTV]

Hi Provost Park Pass! It’s your pal, Tony. It was nice meeting up with you in the Esplanade :)

[@BeautifulTomorrowTV]

Provost Park Pass THANK YOU! We appreciate you and your wonderful channel! Let’s flip a coin to see who sits front row on Splash Mountain :)

[@VetericusNoire]

Love the "Secrets" videos! Excellent. I been to DL/DCA thousands of times and I never knew this stuff:))) I do have some info that YOU would never know:)) yes indeed. What is the best platform to converse? Twitter?

[@VetericusNoire]

I can't find your Twitter link. can you post it? thanks so much

[@Austar7]

Perhaps 2638 1/2 was our Platform 9 3/4 for Ilvermorny (the American Hogwarts) students living in California at the time

[@Austar7]

Provost Park Pass Ok, in all seriousness, I guessed it could've been the date Snow White came out, (2/6/38 just like the trolley cars), but turns out that it was released nationwide 2/4/1938. Ok, so my guess was off by 2 days. How long until someone solves this mystery? The world may never know.

[@JillianLovesBooks]

But do you guys remember how when the trolley cars were out of commission, they brought out toy-sized trolleys and had cast members walking the tracks with them, asking people to clear the way for the trolleys?! 😂 I love this video, because Buena Vista street is one of the spots I didn't know the secrets for! I know a lot of the DCA history, but not many secrets. So I'm loving that you're branching out to that park. Quick moment of appreciation for your jokes on the trolley that made everyone laugh. Sounds like you need to work on the Jungle Cruise! Haha. Side note: 2:43.... RELATABLE.

[@angelsinger4574]

I used to live in Dayton, Ohio, home of the Packard Museum. I had no idea there was a Packard at California Adventure! Thanks for another great video!

[@potatogrows7401]

This is a really cool video!!! Keep up the great work!!

[@pastelmornings94]

I'm sitting in a hotel room late at night right now, watching this video to see what I missed when my family went to DCA. I missed quite a bit XD

[@thebossfoxtrotshow6692]

My family loves your videos. Informative, fun and they aren't really long. The only downside is that the history stuff you talk about are the things I tell them while we are in the park...now Christian already knows the stuff.

[@thumbnaildave]

WHOHOO!!!! Congrats on 5,000 subscribers! It's like having 5,000 new friends!

[@jaimevogt7639]

so fun. love your historic knowledge

[@g.h7657]

I love your energy attitude and jokes ahahaha

[@deannabayless8025]

I’m always fascinated by the way they patterned the façades (and sometimes the interiors) after actual historic Los Angeles area buildings. You touched on it with the Hyperion viaduct, but there’s lots, lots more. There’s a two-part article on it on the Yesterland site, but it dates from early DCA, and it’s missing lots of things like the Frank Lloyd Wright restrooms. Still, it’s always fun to compare the park versions with the avtobuildings they copied. And you can compare the Disnified Red Cars with the actual ones that run on weekends at SCRM in Perris, CA, near Riverside. They also have things like old Disneyland ticket booths, a SF cable car that used to be the parking lot shuttle at Knott’s, Ward Kimball’s Grizzly Flats full-sized steam trains, etc., so it might make a good side excursion for a video.

[@mariannesilverstein5974]

Great video,as always😊

[@mannyrockwell]

“We have a tour everyday, Friday Saturday Sunday”

[@brianalmaraz5438]

Good catch Sherlock

[@Naotakun]

Great video with fun facts! My wife and kids are taking me next week for my birthday so thank you for giving us some new things to find and keep an eye out for. Congrats on the growing success of the channel!

[@Naotakun]

Provost Park Pass for our dca day I'm thinking mission breakout, it's our favorite.

[@lostinwonderart]

I love Packards. I know a history thing about the Packards. Because Packards were luxury vehicles, when the Great Depression happened, it almost crushed the company. So, to incentive sales, they invented buying cars on installment payments. Before that time, no one had ever had car payments before.

[@ryanmiller4890]

When we were there last, 2 years ago, we had hors d'oeuvres and drinks at the Carthay Circle. It was Disneyland's Diamond Anniversary so all of the ice cubes were diamond shaped.

[@SeriouslyCreepy]

Love it! Miss CA so much!!

[@mydogmarshandme7400]

Love ❤️ you guys you just make me miss CA and my dad (who lives in CA) so much but I’m meant to bbe in North Dakota!

[@chrisrowe6181]

You did Buena Vista Street and hollywood land and didn’t mention the red car trolley news boys!! Only the best entertainers in the parks! Your videos are so good though i can almost overlook it 🤣

[@alliewithbooks]

I went to the reopening of DCA back in 2012 after the renovations and I took a handful of copies of the first edition of the Buena Vista Bugle and one of the copies is hung up on my bedroom wall :)

[@gregmartell1235]

Oswald back Wow! 😎

[@judyromero2641]

Did anyone notice how excited he got when he saw Mickey? Me!

[@sweetpjess]

Let's talk about how Packard's are my favorite vintage cars! I always see the car and I've never even noticed that is the model! I love it! Thanks Chris! Btw your enthusiasm for characters...I want to hang out with that. Please.

[@sweetpjess]

Provost Park Pass but we started watching you because of the Paradise pier video. We are gonna stay there next visit but didn’t know anything about it. We liked you guys so much we watched them all and wait for your vids every week.

[@claudiarood1420]

Hi Chris, Love your post and secrets and info!! In the Ellis store there is a picture of a circus master in the kids toy section. Who is this circus master?? No cast member has been able to answer.

[@johnsanchez2580]

[@austinklein1172]

[@thattext_3835]

Totally think you deserve more Subscribers :D

[@thattext_3835]

Provost Park Pass Of course 😀

[@givemehendrix]

Hyperion Bridge lands you in Atwater Village not in Glendale. The bridge is about three blocks from the Studio in Los Feliz. Also in Los Feliz, is a oldish looking structure that Walt and the guys from the Studio, helped with the decor. Called the 'Tam O'Shanter', Walt ate there a lot, so much so, the table he liked to eat at has a plaque with his name on it, till this day .

[@rj1982ii]

Mortirmer was also the name of Walt's pet mouse he used to have.

[@storytellernarrations4278]

Officer Blue is very reminiscent of Ward Kimball!

[@jerryallison8358]

Chris, I don't know if you were aware, but the bridge, as you enter California Adventure, was originally a replica of the Golden Gate bridge

[@piglord7785]

I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

[@timhoyer8049]

Keep up the good work Provost! Your the best!

[@aho9372]

only on disney but not so math :)

[@nicolestuart8564]

So 2638 1/2 I believe stands for 1926 when they changed the name to Walt Disney Studios and 1938 Walt Disney Productions is formed . Maybe the 1/2 stands for the other event in 1938 when Walt’s mom Flora died that November?

[@Sophia-vi6ls]

I always thought that the lady with the dog just liked going to the parks and was a real person, and that the dog was real. 🥺🥺

[@gotcha55661]

i cant wait to go back to meet officer blue !!

[@twiconnor643]

7:09 As a train buff I’m obliged to say the “Silver Limited” is not a real train, at least not one I’ve ever heard of. However the look of the popcorn stand is definitely inspired by the sleek stainless steel passenger cars that were popular on American railroads in the 1940s and 50s, and the name “Popcorn Hot Limited” is most likely a reference to the Santa Fe Railway’s “California Limited”, the train that Walt rode from Kansas City to L.A. in 1923. The “Popcorn Hot Limited” logo also bears a resemblance to the Santa Fe’s logo, and the adjacent striping bears a resemblance to the Santa Fe’s famous “Warbonnet” paint scheme. The orange, silver and black colors on the stand could be an homage to the similar color scheme the Western Pacific Railroad used for their famous “California Zephyr” passenger train, a recreation of which was previously stationed in Sunshine Plaza prior to its Buena Vista Street transformation.

[@NJgamer1505]

2:43 I’m dying 😂

[@baltazarmarquez9454]

That olden days that time are walt was and mood to build disney and I didn't know about that its the town he lived in

[@nancipadron6872]

omg hi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i love your channel sooooooo much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@marygreen4993]

I love your videos and learn so much. I think Bounds was the maiden name of Walt Disney's wife, not mother. Her maiden name was Call.

[@inoracama]
