Disneyland Changes, Rumors, and History!

[@tombuck]

I can’t get enough of the historical photo comparisons! Thank you for putting in all the work!

[@sarahloyhihi]

CAN DISNEY PLEASE LISTEN TO THIS MAN!!!!??????

[@tifbug93]

Hearing the background music in the beginning had me like 😭😍 can't wait to go back next month!

[@ryanbailey9970]

Your videos are literally the best. Way better than the boring point and shoot style of fresh baked disney. Your attention to detail and the information you give is unlike any other on youtube.

[@chrisdisney8201]

Yes, please do a "Disneyland Then and Now" update once SWL opens!

[@jalapeno1119]

I really hope they don't teardown Storybook Land! I've never been to Disneyland and I want to ride that because it's unique to the park. I love the addition of Rosita!

[@disneyglow7709]

I loved this video! Thank you! I adore seeing the new and a look back at the old. Seeing how it has changed. Awesome video!!

[@disneyfan85]

One rumor that I heard (courtesy of Screamscape) was that a Beauty and the Beast ride like the one coming to Tokyo Disneyland would be coming to Disneyland, replacing the Snow White and Pinocchio rides, which I really hope is not true, given that A) they are classics and B) there's no room there to do justice to "Beauty and the Beast". Also, in Toontown, the very strong rumor right now is that a copy of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway will be coming to the land, replacing only the Gag Factory shop.

[@blerksnarfgut7332]

Those Sleeping Beauty screens are amazing! Seems like a once-in-a-lifetime experience since I don't recall any of the Disney parks ever doing something like that before. And I had no idea they were refurbishing the castle, so that's very exciting. Thanks for sharing!

[@rjkral]

Were you there on the 1st? Great vid!! May I ask what camera? Digging the very wide angles! Agreed on Star Wars: how often do we get to EXPLORE A NEW LAND? Never at Disneyland! That’s why I’m trying to be mostly spoiler free especially regarding the rides, so I can explore it anew. Such a rare and exciting time for DL fans! And soybean farmers.

[@Liquidspaceman]

Great video!! I wonder how you edit your videos because you are finishing your sentences in different parts of the park. It feels like you take great care in figuring out how you work all that out.

[@alison2649]

I always thought that old Pinocchio chalet was so beautiful. They should’ve kept it. It added a real Swiss alps ambiance to the area

[@MichaelSmith-zw5fu]

I saw the thumbnail and got excited that maybe Disney would be adding the dragon's cave from Paris.

[@ItzAdrian02]

It would be so WIERD to have a new land, especially in Disneyland because it hasn't gotten one since toontown in 1993

[@jeremyrohr3876]

The family is quite entertained with these adventures. Thanks for keeping us up to date. Change is definitely good for some things.

[@TBustah]

According to another channel I watch, Rocket Rods was really hard on the People Mover's track and path. I'm fairly certain he said that the concrete path would have to be replaced if they wanted to bring it back in some form, but maybe it was just the track.

[@LinReed_Shukla]

I was a kid in the 60s/70s, and the Tahitian Terrace was absolutely, positively, my #1 favorite spot on all of Planet Earth. 😁💗 Seriously, it was such a fantastic place to have an hour or so. And cheap??? Holy cow. I still have a souvenir menu. Monte Cristo Sandwiches for $2.50?! Sirloin steak dinner for $4.50! Chicken dinner for $1.25?! And with wonderful entertainment, too?! 😃👍 Aw man. Those were the days.

[@KevinGerhardt]

First Comment: Seeing those vintage clips brings back a lot of memories. I am looking forward in seeing the 'new' Tomorrowland / Fantasyland upgrades. I hope the rumor of them removing Storybook Land is not true; but if they need the room anything is possible.

[@deanmiller9690]

Justin, I am 60 years old and have been a Walt Disney fan since the 60s and I love Disneyland. I want you to know how much I appreciate your appreciation for Disneyland and the videos you have done of it. I am glad that you have an appreciation for the old days, too. Keep it up. Thank you.

[@mattie94jay]

“Oh rosita! You’re wicked” I’m so dead lmao that was the thing that made my day.

[@randyluxenberg7245]

I was there in 1962 or 1963, and got to shake hands with Mr. Walt Disney himself!! I was just a lad of 6 or 7.....I can vaguely remember that special moment.

[@thegirlwiththecontroller1164]

As soon as I heart Enchanted Tiki Room got a ramp from this video I had to message my friend! The elevator for that ride was the sketchiest thing, and you'd think something like the Tiki Room would be wheelchair accessible. So glad it is more now!

[@minutemark]

It's my understanding that, "back then," entrance into the park was free. You paid for each attraction. That was long before I was born, but even when I was a kid (1970s), the first "ticket" of each ticket book was a park pass. If you were already in the park when you bought the ticketbook, they would tear out that park entrance pass before they handed the book to you. I guess, sometimes they wouldn't though, because I remember having a drawer full of ticketbooks in our kitchen that contained the entrance pass along with a few tickets for the lesser sought rides (like mainstreet transportation vehicles). Then again, perhaps those books were purchased outside the park. I love your videos, Justin (and Ally)! Thanks for bringing back so many great memories.

[@monicalenahan5829]

I thought the murals that covered the castle looked really cool too. I should’ve taken more pics of it. We were there from Mar. 4-6 and there was a little walkway right by bibbidi bobbidi boutique that you could still get through. I didn’t see the holiday shop. I love the history of Disneyland too. It would be so cool to see the people mover again. I’m lucky I got to go on the skyway buckets when they we’re still there. I really like Swiss Family Robinsons treehouse. Tarzan is cool too but nothing like the original. Keep these videos coming!

[@ravenreine]

If/When Tomorrowland changes, I hope that they keep the antiquated...futuristic theme? Like the Jetsons! I am always happy to see all the old pics/videos of the park (I love history). Thanks for everything! We'll be going to DL in T minus 11 days!

[@CharlesReinmuth]

Yeah, your spot isn't gone. My spot with my SO was the court of angels... Now that's rough. Lucky if I ever get in to see that again.

[@tygoniz193]

Tomorrow Land in California should re open the people mover. The Orlando Tommorow lands people mover is nice and calming

[@DavidRay_40]

Do not get rid of Star Tours! I love that ride!

[@BigMike246]

I miss the old Rocket Jets. The old Tomorrowland. Monsanto Adventure to Inner Space. And, of course, the Peoplemovers. Every day we were there a couple weeks ago, I would point out the peoplemover tracks and ask my kids if they would like to find a ride where you can sit for 15 minutes and look at Tomorrowland. Every time I asked the question, both of my kids grumbled that, yes, they wished they could sit down.

[@MililaniJag]

Love the old vids! My 1st visit was 1960. Thx!

[@calebmills2345]

As someone who frequents Disney World regularly and only rarely visit Disneyland, I LOVED Toontown. Such a weeeiiiiird, quirky land that had so many cool little nooks and crannies. We had no idea what was in store for us when we walked through Mickey's house, so that moment of walking "outside" into his garden at sunset and then meeting him at the end was really something special. I hope it stay!

[@kylorenthehusky2584]

Wah!!! I hope they don’t take storybook land away 😩 Love your vids! Ty!

[@CruellaUrsula]

I love ToonTown too! I sure do miss the Jolly Trolley though! I sincerely hope that in time, Star Tours is moved to Galaxy's Edge.

[@andrescarrillo101]

Hahaha I love your energy!!! Fun vlog :)

[@amygee778]

I saw you at Disneyland the other day. You are tall!!! You were filming in front of Plaza Inn on Mainstreet. Hope to see you or Adam the Woo soon to say hi.

[@jessreyes2626]

Justin, I so enjoy your work! Great videography, editing, pacing, sound, and writing. Speaking of writing, do you write these on the fly? Or in advance? All of your videos flow so nicely! Looking forward to the next one!

[@steffy6277]

Hey thanks for these updates Justin! The park is changing so much lately. These videos are so necessary for any Disney people who don't live close enough to go weekly. and that seems to be the only way to keep up these days. I have been dying to see before and after footage of the completed parts of project stardust. I'm hearing they trimmed down or took out a lot of planters. scaled back some curbs on main street. lots of little details. I am just curious how those strategic changes will eventually effect crowd flow. Also, in your opinion. What path back to galaxy's edge do you think will be used the most? and how will that effect guest experiences in the currently existing lands?

[@hannahsherwood4021]

Thanks for using my dole whip! :) So glad I got to meet you yesterday!!!

[@chrisnord1739]

Love your Disney videos if I can't make it to Disney in person to visit. At least I can experience Disney through your videos

[@MRTano512]

Love the train tidbit at the SW wall! But no discussion of the SEA at Tropical Hideaway?

[@TheLandofLandonLand]

You have to wait in a line now to get your pic taken in front of the floral Mickey at the entrance of the park? I guess that helps crowd control, and less photo-bombers.

[@francescogallego]

Disneyland should bring back the waterfalls they had next to the tiki room, and Rositas voice should be Sofia Vergara.

[@jerryzimmerman5769]

I hope your feeling better. Love your content and Ally's smile.

[@rebeccayoung1032]

I love the old footage.... Its so wild. Thanks for uploading! Very cool!

[@disneymomaz95]

I never thought I would say it but...since I have been visiting DLand with a grandkid, I would be very sorry to see Toon Town go. It seems to me that, in the quest for bigger and better rides/lands, the parks are in risk of losing a lot of the areas that are geared towards young kids and families. The closing of Bug's Land was a major loss for young kids at DCA and it would sadden me to see DLand follow suit.

[@lisaclary5135]

Love your videos,thanks for bringing Disneyland to us people who can’t make it to the park

[@HollywoodF1]

I gotta say, Justin--- for as big of a loveable weirdo as you are, you seem to get the big picture of Disneyland better than most reviewers on the internet. You have a healthy understanding of Disneyland as it marches through time, and how the new balances with the old. Your facts are accurate, you make it clear when you're speculating, and you connect the dots with the relevant details like an expert. And as an outsider-professional, you are indeed an expert.

[@geoffbartlett1300]

Hey Justin I appreciate that you try and do different videos instead of just the same old walk through the park. I enjoy the historical aspects and the like.

[@sahpem4425]

SICK MERCH!!! 😂 I’m looking forward to more Disneyland history videos!

[@jakew.5883]

Amazing video, Justin! I think, that if Fantasyland receives an expansion, it should include the Beauty and the Beast area that Tokyo Disneyland is getting. It'd also be cool if they built ride based on The Nutcracker and the Four Realms. Even though it wasn't a huge success, to me, it feels like a movie that is set in a land that Disney could really immerse people in.

[@TheAfterworld666]

We NEVER get tired of Disneyland😍

[@mikel3339]

Justin! Your the best, man! My wife and I love watching your videos. We love all the history and contrast you show about the changes of Disneyland. And your own spin you put on it all. Such great entertainment for Disneyland buffs!

[@happilieverholli9994]

Love your storytelling on the history of Disneyland!

[@tracydaze658]

I never go to Toon Town. I'm a new grandma so I'll be exploring it soon. Fun times coming.

[@coffeelovesyarnbycarolina2398]

My boys were hoping to bump into you when we went last February because they love all your videos (they've even watched your Route 66 videos) My youngest even said he's going to look for you in Disneyworld when we go this May. 😂 Thanks for all the great content and for keeping the classic part of Disney alive. - Carolina

[@caseywagner8656]

fun fact Did you know In the 50's Walt Disney took a trip on board the Rms Queen Elizabeth ,the sister ship of the RMS Queen Mary. Look it up it is very cool.

[@sammcdonald769]

Hey Justin, any way of confirming the rumor that there might be an actual Dragon on the backside of the castle when the refurbishment is completed ? 😯

[@MattMcIrvin]

It makes sense for Hong Kong to replace their castle--that park has always needed to work on differentiating itself, not being a scaled-back clone of Anaheim Disneyland. But the castle here is the original.

[@kimberlywilson1266]

Been to Disney World several times (last one was with my daughter's band?!?!). I love getting to see what Disney Land looks like. Thank you for all your time and work you do you do in your vlogs.

[@anab.7450]

I love your Disney of yesteryear series!! I want people mover back too!!!!!

[@rollerskater122]

Did anyone happen to give you an estimated completion date? I have heard 20 different dates and we are going at the end of april :(

[@mickeymouse4134]

Hot Dog! I bet the castle is gonna look great! Just a new paint Job! Me and the Imagineers are excited to show you a new amazing Sleeping Beauty Castle! I hope the Expansion doesn’t interfere into my Toon town! 😰 All my closest Toons friends live there! Although A expansion to Fantasyland would be magical! I hope it doesn’t interfere with some of our original attractions currently still here! I’m excited also for STAR WARS LAND!! Hot Dog!

[@tristianwoo8769]

I’m so excited, because I’m gonna be there in a week. 🏰 Ps. Good vid😁

[@ravenfox7752]

I love your videos but when will there be another personal update video? Like the vlog under the tree? I think it would be awesome if Ally did a video on her back story! We always get these little bread crumbs about her story but never the whole picture! There are so many Rapunzel references! I know these videos don’t go too far into your personal life but it would be nice if your followers could not only cheer on your travel videos but your personal life as well!

[@clementine1827]

Wow I’ve never seen Rosita!

[@teresablais8005]

I want the people mover back, as well as Carosel of progress!!!

[@wherethetatosat]

I have heard from an inside source that Star Tours will remain in Tomorrowland. Granted, I was told this a year ago, but the reasoning was that Star Tours is for tourists to the Star Wars galaxy. You don't board your cruise ship to Hawaii in Hawaii. Also, Dumbo and the Astro Orbiter exist at the same time. I think Star Tours will stay. Unless they gut it to reinstate the people mover :P

[@jorgemiguel1040]

16:25, cowboy watching the singer. looks like a bandit to me.

[@mcimagination3555]

omg if they do the fantasy land expansion they should make a mini version of Tokyo disneylands new Beauty and the Beast land and ride!

[@SBTCP]

Hey justin at 6:16 what the heck what just happen to the castle that's just on 6:16. And which by the way the artwork is pretty cool for my opinion but why do they have to torture sleeping beauty's castle?

[@aride2vegas]

my goodness, what are the chances of the Sleeping Beauty castle at disneyland anaheim expanding the castle to Cinderellla's castle, like Magic Kingdom Florida. That would be the greatest thing if it weren't so tragic. Great Job, Scarred.

[@jorgemiguel1040]

20:17, What is up with cupid's finger? looks strange. I love your videos they make my time a disney more interesting .

[@daviedmond4639]

WISH THEY WOULD BRING BACK THE YELLOW TRAINS IN THE SHOWN IN THE VINTAGE PICS, IT SEEMS TO BE A BETTER FIT

[@vegasauthor]

I loved this. And now I have subscribed!

[@toddysurcharge771]

LMAO at the Angel statue shhhhh bit. Well done. My wife and I were laughing so hard.

[@BromanNoodles_]

if they get rid of star tours i wonder if they would change it to mission to innerspace

[@alohamd4022]

I still love Disneyland. 💟 years ago I swear I saw Peter Noonan playing in a small jazz band. I should have asked him. Justin google him, cause I know you're young...lol

[@CaptainTexas92]

Randomland for the heart and soul of disney and fresh baked for updates and everything you wanted to know.

[@shampoovta]

I have a saying, " Life is an E ticket ride" I have been saying it sens I was a kid.

[@DarthAri8]

Going tomorrow!!! It’s gonna be raining though

[@2doot]

I love when SpongeBob narrates about Disneyland

[@disneydorks9462]

We love your vlogs so much!!!!! Keep up the GREAT work!

[@jackcarson968]

When you film these videos that take place throughout the whole day, do you ride rides at all or just film? (I saw you in Disneyland back in 2013 when you were filming the Snow White video on your old channel and you can see me and my family in the video)

[@kellyjohnstun]

Do you know when the castle will be reopened?

[@SBTCP]

Hey Justin for 10:50 would make alot more sense to replace the fantasyland theater. Why is because, there's enough space and more space to put more rides. And another reason is that if they got rid of that theater, they can widen the train away. And fun fact for that theater, the wiggles a band from Australia went to Disneyland and perform at that theater and yo it was at 1998 and it blew my mind am i right huh? Keep storybook lands and get rid of fantasyland theater i'm with you Justin.

[@FreeTheOne1996]

we loved the Tahitian terrace back in the day it was one of my absolute favorites my mother and father would take us there for the show and dinner it was the best!! I may have some pictures of that somewhere I'm still looking I have a lot of old slides that my parents gave me before they passed away that I have to go through them it's hard to do that but when it's about Disneyland I tried to look I'll have to remind myself over the weekend to go through that for those particular ones I want to share them with you..

[@l.madden1485]

2 weeks ago I went there and got super depresed because the castle was covered

[@hayllistanley7570]

I know that you're swamped with new people but is there ANY CHANCE you see this and I was wondering if you and Ally will be going to Disneyland from either March 21st 23rd and 24th? (I'll be there 3 days one of them at California adventures) because I'm going for my 18th birthday (like every year) and Justin you and Ally I think are the best on KZbin when it comes to Disney history, yeah Tim and Adam are super cool, but you show how it was before I was born and how it was when I was little, it's so nostalgic, id really like to get a FUN PIC with you two, so I'll chill in adventure land the days I go to Disney probably getting dole whip going on the jungle cruise or hanging with Rosita, and not only am I going but I'm taking my friend who has NEVER gone to Disneyland before, isn't that wild! Thank you Justin (and Ally) for getting me ever so hyped up for my trip this March! I really hope to see you guys you are such and inspiration! Hope to get a fun pic soon!

[@davidfeltheim2501]

I think my parents have some old Walt Disney World photos from all the way back in the 70's if you do a Disney then and now for that resort, only I think doing this kind of thing there will be a bit more difficult.

[@irelandellis2229]

I wish the changed less but at the same time I’m excited for them all!!!

[@RavenHawkes]

They could always turn Tommorrowland into Yesterland bringing back old popular rides from the past back into Disney. Or even call it Randomland....oh...wait a minute.

[@normarivas3663]

Good vid and I love ur laugh and ur the best and I love ur voice justin

[@r00mmate47]

Story book land is cute though!!!!

[@courtneytench2580]

ill be in Disneyland in 11 days....cant wait its been about 17-18 years I was their the first year California Adventures opened

[@SBTCP]

Hey Justin do you know that Disney Hollywood studios or MGM studios is going to have star wars galaxy's edge too.

[@phillipwest4352]

hey Justin do u ever wanted to explore South Florida? We have Water parks parks zoos and all kind of cool stuff...bring the family too! How are you?

[@Pirate-Scorcher-1998]

Such a interesting video to watch I like it

[@dstroyanddcoy1932]

It’s June 20th right right?!

[@davidjacobs8558]

I think Disney should honor the original trilogy more. and one way to do that would be turn the "Tomorrow land" into original trilogy land. Star Tour is already there, Star Wars launch bay is already there too. They can revert space mountain to Hyperspace mountain. and retheme the remaining attractions. not so hard to do.

[@pappy4075]

Love this series.
