DISNEYLAND CALIFORNIA TRAVEL DAY | JANUARY 2020

[@davids6898]

I’ve heard someone say that Disneyland is a park built by a father for his daughters. Disney World is a Resort built by a committee for the masses. I really appreciate your homage to Walt Disney at the beginning there. I cringe when people complain how tiny the Disneyland castle is but you guys did it with respect. Ear hats off to the two of you!

[@rachelgennery8706]

Oh the memories!! I went about 10 yrs ago and watching this just makes me want to go back!! I cried when we walked through the main gate - got so emotional visiting Disney’s first park!! My reaction to the castle was the same - it’s small!!

[@Lisa-fq7ks]

Thank you for the time and amazing effort you put into your videos.

[@kmq1053]

The Indiana Jones ride at DLP is more of a roller coaster and wild! Much prefer the version at Disneyland with the rolling ball x

[@lorenaarias1952]

Watching your vlog brings back so many beautiful memories. I was there for the first time in 1967, I was 9 years old and I fell in love with that Castle. It didn’t seem so tiny back then, lol. Of course after standing next to Cinderella Castle, it is indeed very small. I haven’t been to Disneyland since 1991 I think, and I’d love to go back someday. But thank you for taking me back there. Where California Adventure is now, back then it was just a huge parking lot. Oh, dear, I’m old! Hahahahaha

[@andrewwisker6918]

What’s the song title being played when your in the plane ? I love it 😀😀

[@michellekeable8541]

I've been binge watching your Florida vlogs! Recently found you guys on KZbin, I love you vlogs and love you honesty. I'm going next year to WDW for the first time and I can not wait. I've been to DLP lots and when you walked down main street and the square are so similar and in size! Xx

[@rainbowdisneyfan775]

I am re-watching all these months later and it seems so incredible to hear Leigh mention “the virus in China”. Little did we know...

[@TheLodgeGuys]

It seems like. Another world away even though it was this year

[@lloydthomas1827]

As others have said in America we generally use the microwave to heat our water for tea. If there is a coffee machine in the room,like a Keurig, you can just heat your water for a cup of tea through the machine. Just open and close it like you were going to put a pod in. It will give you hot water for your tea that way. We have a kettle at home though.

[@thecanuckcrew3197]

Great video, Neil and I love your travel videos, just as much as the Holiday vid vlogs. You two usually give great tips, tricks and hints on them. Glad you 2 found the HOV Lane, Neil and I use it all the time when we both are in the same car on the highway. You zoom by the traffic jams.

[@lindahamilton3055]

Leigh was very excited all you can here are bless him the main street is amazing the shops are great your both like 2 kids picking out what's here and what's at Hollywood studios

[@shirleydunn8050]

I remember when my English sister in law went to live in America she couldn't find a kettle in the shops anywhere. Don't know if that's the same nowadays. We used to take a travel kettle with us that had dual voltage. Although you can't roll them up!

My Six Favorite Things at the Disneyland Resort in Anaheim, California: It's a Small World (Attraction, 1966-Present), Disney Afternoon Avenue (Land of Disneyland Park in Fantasyland, 1991-1992), Parade of the Stars (Parade, 2000-2005), Believe...There's Magic in the Stars (Fireworks Spectacular, 2000-2004), Disney Princess Fantasy Faire (Show, 2006-2012) and 90's Nite (Disneyland After Dark, 2019)

[@trishacrawford1872]

Love it! I get a little chuckle every time you say chipotle (chi-po-tlay) 😄

[@jadelivermore5076]

Lovin this. Hearing you sound so excited by a new park and what is like Disney world and what isn’t! Looking forward to you getting in and around the parks in tomorrow’s vlog. Bless me for laughing lots when you said cabbage and not cabin!!!

[@alisonosullivan3833]

My only Disney trip was to Disneyland in May 1980, during a month long US trip, when I was almost 6 and I loved it! It was virtually empty, all the characters were charming and Chip’n’Dale helped me up when I slipped on the wet pavement when running towards them. They then became my heroes. I cost my parents a fortune during our visit as I’d ask for treats then give them away to the characters. We went on Space Mountain and I remember the warning signs when we were queuing but on we went. My Dad was in the front with my Mum & I behind holding onto all the bags. H&S wasn’t as strict back then! 😬🤦‍♀️I still remember the darkness and hanging on for dear life. We got off and my Dads legs were like jelly and we were all in shock!😂 I’ve not been since but my parents took my brother to WDW when he was a teen and then my Mum took him, his wife & their two kids to WDW last summer. My niece was just 5 and my nephew 2.5 so they had a wonderful time and still talk about it, so lots of happy memories were made. When everything settles down, I think they’d love to go again and there’ll be more ride options with the kids being that bit older. Watching your vlogs makes me want to go too!

[@janetovens756]

I know the front of the plane is upper and premium but it would make more sense to board the back first and there would be fewer holdups

[@TheLodgeGuys]

👍

[@matthewhagerty908]

My wife and I live in Las Vegas, Disneyland is our home park. Love seeing you guys experience it and love the reactions and comparisons!

[@juleschristmasdream9399]

Disneyland is the original and will always be my favourite. Have to remember that all parks looks like Disneyland, not the other way around 😉

[@FROMKYLE2U]

Just found you guys today.... I have stayed at the Discovery Inn several times - it is budget friendly.... the staff is very nice and helpful(they were helpful to me even when I wasn't staying there)....I give you all the credit for handling the crazy California traffic... I live in Vegas and fly to a smaller airport then shuttle to DL... Looking forward to your future vlogs !

[@possumprincess]

We don't use kettles much in the US. Although I bought one last year to heat up squirrel/opossum formula, and now I've started enjoying making tea with it too!

[@edwardschneider6396]

Coffee makers are only in the more expensive rooms. Like $300-$700 a night for Disney properties and Vacation suites.

[@rainbowdisneyfan775]

I drink tea as well, no coffee. I always have to find a place for tea in the AM.

[@debsym62]

The visitor toll pass from Orlando airport was brilliant in November. Free to sign up and then discounted tolls. I would always use that in future if we were going to Orlando international airport.

[@dazgillkidz]

Loving the vlogs. Getting ideas for our 2022 Florida trip. Can’t believe you not been to DLP we are going 5th time in November. Christmas is amazing there. Bit of advise wrap up warm.

[@rachelhalse8471]

Disneyland was the first Disney park I visited and I loved it. Cars land and the cars rides where brilliant. Enjoy X X X

[@beckypiel8795]

I stayed at the Hyatt down the street....and when I checked in, they asked me if I would like a Disneyland fireworks view!!! YES

[@linzistewart3646]

They board planes like that due to weigh balance,they load the luggage(so the back is heavier) if they then load the back with people first the plane will tip,hence load the front to balance it. Learnt this from a pilot of an Airbus a320,lol x

[@rosemac6497]

My favourite thing about Disneyland is The Indiana Jones ride, it is fantastic. That's the one thing missing about Florida. Have fun, I'm loving your vlogs.

[@angelac1255]

Love,love,love you two. Went to Disneyland a few years ago,so reminiscing but none of them beats Walt Disney wor ld . L oving your vlogs, watching them all.

[@sailingavocet]

Wonderful video! My husband and I are 22 and live aboard our sailboat preparing to sail around the world. maybe we will cross paths

[@rainbowdisneyfan775]

Needed to add another comment. I LOVE watching when you discover things. So great.

[@Atheenah]

You’ve answered your own question about why you don’t have coffee/tea service in your room. You’d need to pay for a pricier hotel room to get that option. You are both adorable and I love your vlogs!

[@tallactordude]

I have been to Los Angeles, but I have not been to Disneyland, only Disney World and that’s been a long time ago. I have never flown in a plane that had TV screens, probably because most of the flights I’ve taken since those have existed in planes were too short. I saw in your little hole on the supermarket that you had some Driscolls raspberries, just like I do in my refrigerator right now. I have them to put on granola.

[@ilsehunt6338]

Love seeing Disneyland it’s been such a long time since we were there, I think it was January 1998 lol hope you had fabulous time in LA x x

[@suzannesmythe6773]

Have a great time in calafoina. I can't wait to see more vlogs

Remember that your in the first Disneyland

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We loved it more than we thought we would. Would love to go back one day

[@karenteeters473]

Great vlog guys. On my bucket list to try California. It did very much remind me of Paris. Although much prefer the castle at Paris, it's very pretty and you can go in the dungeon, see the dragon and Luke you mention go upstairs. I'm sure knowing you two! You will be also making a trip there at some point. Cant wait to see more of California xx

[@lndjn2]

I went there about 20 years ago, stayed in The Castle just over the road from Disneyland. We then drove to Las Vegas which was another experience 😀 great vlog, looking forward to the next.

[@rachelgennery8706]

The Indiana Jones ride in DLP is nothing like that - it is an upside down rollercoaster! 😬

[@sarahphillips1200]

This looks so good I really want to go,I'm really enjoying these vlogs they are so brilliant it's so good to see all different hotels villas experiences so enjoyable on a cold British night lol ,I love dlp I think California looks so mu h better though ,but I have to say dlp most loveliest castle Indiana Jones is a rollercoaster, but they have crushes coaster and ratatouille ride so good 1😘😘😃😃😃

[@lynnarro]

Soo excited for this part in the vlogs.... DL is my home park🥰... I love it.... welcome to my home state 🤗... Nick answered your kettle question... Americans just aren’t big tea drinkers in general... we drink a cup here and there but mostly it’s iced tea... we are all coffee drinkers lol

Great vlog guys. Welcome to Delta airlines. Nobody walks in LA. you could probably find places with a kettle on Airbnb or VRBO or HomeAway but they definitely cost more than what you were paying for that place. At any rate keep up the good work love the content.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Thank you for watching. Its so much appreciated. Xx

[@quadmomkate]

You can always try to request a coffee maker in your room & my experience is, they always provide one. 😁

[@karensim3990]

Loved Leigh’s comment, it’s tiny 😂😂

[@elliejackson8706]

Very similar to DLP but smaller 😂 my face castle is the one in DLP because it's much more detailed- yet to go to Shanghai though

[@suewhitby6891]

Alamo is the best when it comes to tolls , we did 4 weeks last summer miami the keys back up to Orlando and tolls in and around orlando on toll roads ... 30 pound .x

[@patrigarcia4007]

It’s like Disneyland Paris ..and make a note if you are going there in the future it is very expensive in the park😊

Enjoying your vlogs..look forward to watching each day. I like the details and prices you let us know.

[@jamesstanley9082]

last visited here in 1997 and would love to go again. We are due to visit Disneyland shanghai on the way back from our Australia trip in November, however, if its still recommended not go to china we will comeback via LA and visit disneyland instead

Shanghai disneyland is incredible! The technology puts the others to shame, hopefully you will get to visit it! The virus should be gone by then hopefully.

We love to fly delta as my husband is 6ft2 and as we fly economy they have the best leg room for him we fly from Heathrow and get indirect flights and then we get more points so one day we can upgrade our seats for another trip to Walt Disney world !

Are you guys going to Universal Studios while in LA ? We went on our honeymoon a few years ago and enjoyed the studio tour which was a like the back lot tour that used to be at MGM ( now Hollywood studios) in Orlando. Having visited Universal and Islands of Adventure last April they feel very different to each other.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Yes we went to universal. Video in a couple of days

[@CastleBeckons]

Can’t wait to visit there! It does remind me alot of DLP only they have a big castle!

[@danabe3220]

I live on the west coast so Disneyland was my first Disney park. Great video. I hate toll roads, France is the worst.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We loved Disneyland. Really glad we went

[@NevasoftHQ]

Yip your right about toll charges with Alamo, used it last year. Been stung in the past with “dollar car rentals” going through a unmanned toll. Think they charged me $15 admin charge and the toll cost that was $1.25 🤢

[@rarasstitchingrealm2276]

Yay! Disneyland - I'm going to be there in Dec this year! Can I ask, how long was the walk from your motel to the supermarket please?

[@TheLodgeGuys]

15 mins

[@elizabethboyd2727]

Remember guys Disneyland is the original WdW is copied from that

[@DavidHernandez-op4tg]

You guys are funny. I live in Anaheim around 10K from the park. There is an Italian Resturant in California Adventure that is really good. You will need a reservation. If you have American Express Platinum or Gold they have a promotion at Tortilla Joes in Downtown Disney spend 100 get 25 back. Since your in Anaheim we have some good Mexican Food that if your foodies would love, plus they don't have Disney prices. If you like my wife and I can meet you guys up for a drink. Feel bad for you that you had to fly into LAX.

American here: Hotels don’t have kettles as Americans as a rule don’t use them. I don’t know any family or friends with one. Why we don’t is a mystery to me when everywhere else in the world uses them.

Don't dis Disneyland, it's the original, it's Walt's park. Magic Kingdom is a copy of Disneyland, the only reason WDW is so large is because people snapped up the land around Disneyland and they couldn't expand.
