The children look so happy in these videos, such a joy to watch 😊😊😊😊😊

[@disneyanddaysout]

This is the joy of Efteling! ❤️

[@krz909_exe]

Thanks for your video from The Netherlands. Cool that you tell the stories!

[@disneyanddaysout]

We’re glad you enjoyed it ❤️ thank you for watching ☺️

[@RichardRenes]

Imagine how wonderful the fairytale forest is in the dark! I always visit during the winter Efteling, when it gets dark early.

[@disneyanddaysout]

That must be special. Do they light it?

[@yoloswaggins9989]

​@@disneyanddaysoutYes they do!

[@Johnny-Thunder]

Great video, I love the Efteling and I love watching other people's videos of it :D 11:47 Red Riding Hood is in the Brothers Grimm book, but there's also a version in the older book of Mother Goose Fairytales. I am reading the Brothers Grimm book Children's and Household Tales right now, not the modernised versions but the original fairytales. You have no idea how dark and cruel they sometimes get!

[@disneyanddaysout]

Thanks! ☺️ yes, they can be very dark, as they needed to impart lessons!

[@robwilkinson11]

Such a magical part of an amazing park

[@disneyanddaysout]

It really is ☺️

[@AlphaTraveler1]

This really is a beautiful park. Amazing. This series actually makes me want to see it myself one day. LIKE 61. 👍👍👍

[@disneyanddaysout]

If you visit Paris, it is close enough to add it onto a trip ❤️

[@Lawrencevbeek]

The story of Donkey raise your tail 21:55 is the story that belongs to this house. 23:06 Here you will also see the magical table where the food appears 23:31 and the magical club that moves when you walk inside. 23:17 At the exit of this fairy tale you will also see the innkeeper who stole the donkey, the club, and the table. the story you tell here 23:38 belongs to another fairy tale called Wee Walter Messenger which can be found next to MotherHolle's house, which you can just see here at the far left of the video. 21:40

[@RikFTK]

I did not even know Kleine Boodschap has his own tale. He's just a gnome pointing to where the toilets are. 😂

[@Lawrencevbeek]

​@@RikFTKHaha, yes, that's what it was intended for because visitors couldn't find the toilet, Efteling later came up with its own fairy tale.

[@Lawrencevbeek]

Just like the fairy tale The Gardener and the Fakir, 33:50 this is also a self-written Efteling fairy tale that has even had two different versions over the years.

[@RikFTK]

@@Lawrencevbeek I know Efteling like to write fairy tales for everything, even the entrance building and the treasure chest cash machine have one. I just never heard the Kleine Boodschap one. 😊

[@Lawrencevbeek]

@@RikFTK I love that they always think about the details in Efteling.

[@Lawrencevbeek]

I really enjoy watching your Efteling videos. how you and the children enjoy the Efteling and the appreciation you have for the Efteling and Dutch culture in general is fantastic to see. Many people compare everything with Disney and they find everything that is different strange and stupid because they don't understand culture. I also saw that you missed a few fairy tales. That's not your fault because Efteling can hide them well haha. The fairy tales you missed are: Cinderella, The Magic Clock, The Chinese Nightingale and Wee Walter Messenger. I look forward to seeing new Efteling videos from you in the future!

[@disneyanddaysout]

Thank you ☺️ we have 3 more videos still to come in this series ❤️

[@roelvanzutphen1608]

Hi! By most of the fairytales where you say that its the darker version its actualy just the origanal but youre used to the disney version, fun video btw

[@disneyanddaysout]

Oh yes, they are the originals which are a lot darker than people are used to. Fairytales were used to teach lessons in the past, so needed to be this way. Thank you ☺️

[@rmyikzelf5604]

Just for future reference: the Dutch double O is pronounced like in boat, not boot. The 'oe' in Dutch sounds like 'boot'. So, Stroapwáhfel, Droamvlucht (I won't be trying to get you to pronounce the 'ch' or the 'u' properly 😂) and.... Sproakje (Fairytale)

[@disneyanddaysout]

Thank you ☺️

[@rowancop3018]

Hi, I watched all your Efteling vlogs cuz I'm a big Efteling fan as well and live in the Netherlands. And I love your vlogs! Just wanted to let you know the whole end of the story about the Wolf and the 7 children because you all seem a bit upset about it.. and I get it, it's a sad story.. BUT mom goat later on finds the wolf after she found the little goat in the clock. The wolf was asleep so she cut the wolfs belly, got the children out, put heavy rocks in the wolf belly and sewed him back up. Later on he falls in the water because he was so thirsty and had a full belly of goat/rocks(he thought) and he was never seen again.. so after all a happy ending for mom and the children 😊❤. Hope that makes you guys feel a bit better about this story. Still a bit grimm but a good ending and a little lesson for children to learn to not open the door for strangers. Again, love your vlogs!!

[@disneyanddaysout]

Awww thank you 🙏 it is definitely a happier ending ☺️ we’re glad you enjoy the vlogs!

[@TTHBLOX_]

Oh about some of the fairytales. Some stories are shortened on the storybooks in the park. Like the wolf and tge seven kids. It does have a happy ending. The efteling sells 2 storybooks that also are released in english

[@disneyanddaysout]

We will have to pick one up on our next trip! ❤️

[@TTHBLOX_]

Back again! And in sprookjesbos. Hope you enjoyed the things they changed and that the renovations going on wer'nt too much of a bother

[@disneyanddaysout]

It was wonderful 😍 our favourite part of Efteling ❤️

[@almyrianna6956]

On the big square you missed, Cinderella, The Bridal Dress of Genoveva and the Magical clock.

[@disneyanddaysout]

We will have to make sure to see them on our next visit!!

[@calvinmckoy91]

The Forest now this will be an enchanting adventure And of the original authors of Snow White & The Seven Dwarfs Sleeping Beauty & ofcourse The Little Mermaid❤😊

[@disneyanddaysout]

Very special indeed ❤️

[@aurawilming6047]

Also, goat mom is the GOAT. when the little kid in the clock tells her what happened, she runs out with her big fabric scissors, finds the wolf asleep at the well after his large meal, she cuts the wolfs stomach open to rescue the kids and then throws the wolf into the well.

[@disneyanddaysout]

That’s good to know!

[@RikFTK]

@@aurawilming6047 The well is even there behind the house. Also there is a cat that peeks from under the bed every once in while and a hidden squirrel that pops up on top of the little roof above the wolf.

[@Nitzpitz]

Did you still miss Cinderella? She is just behind the six swans

[@disneyanddaysout]

Yes 😔 we will do it on our next trip ☺️

[@jaychristiaans2177]

Did you watch the whole story of little match girls it is such a beautiful but sad story. Especially the end.

[@disneyanddaysout]

Yes, very sad 😢

[@RikFTK]

@@jaychristiaans2177 The first time I saw that I was like "Wait... did I just watch a young girl die?" And the story told in the attraction literally says it's good that she's dead, she's with grandmama in heaven now and she would never had a happy life anyway.

[@erikbehaeghel]

Did you know that the Indian water lilies was written by Queen Fabiola of Belgium so it is a real Royal fairytale

[@disneyanddaysout]

We learnt that just today in another comment. How wonderful ☺️

[@aurawilming6047]

Did you miss the Chinese nightingale? Or was it a bit too scary for the kids? It's one of my favorites.

[@disneyanddaysout]

I just looked it up and we definitely missed it! We will have to make sure to see it on our next visit ❤️

[@lynfeldman292]

You will just have to go back So Fin can ride the swans 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[@disneyanddaysout]

Yes!! 🙌

[@jgoossen1186]

My favorit fairytale as wel 🪷 Do you know it was made up by a real queen ( Belgium)

[@leanderbuijtendijk6241]

Fun fact to know. Thanks

[@disneyanddaysout]

Oh wow, no we didn’t know that! How wonderful, thank you ☺️

[@jaapfolmer7791]

@@disneyanddaysout Yes, queen Fabiola loved children and wrote bedside stories and fairytales for the children she wanted to have. Unfortunately she never had any. So she declared all children of the country her children. Efteling asked if they could use one of her stories for an attraction.

[@joehoe222]

Still, you missed some fairy tales. You missed Cinderella, the 6 princes and the Chinese Nightingale.

[@disneyanddaysout]

We will have to make sure we see them on our next visit ☺️
