Disneyland in the 1950s, Time Travel to Tomorrowland and Fantasyland!

[@davidfeltheim2501]

Justin was the mysterious guy with sunglasses and a phone in that old picture that I've seen in so many unsolved photo videos

[@edvaira6891]

Wild to realize that each of these kids we see in this footage are well into their 70’s now (that is, if they’re still with us....)!

[@bacino49]

Loved this! I was there in 1955...we drove from St. Louis to LA ..on Route 66. Went every year from '55 to '64. Flew after that then I moved to Garden Grove in 1973 till 1987.

[@hoffdogify]

Incredibly well done, Justin. You’re definitely in a league of your own. You can see that this is a labor of love and it’s really appreciated.

[@KalaInTheKingdom]

It’s things like this that make you my favorite ever.

[@falcon_three_fifty]

I hope we can travel to the 80's Disneyland someday!

[@TheDailyWoo]

Are we back ?

[@teelasmith5227]

If time travel was invented old time Disneyland would be my destination of choice. I love this video!

[@HNRichard]

“Oh man you can smell the new paint on the new disneyland railroad!” Umm that’s a lead based paint, y’might wanna ease on that stuff lol 🤣

[@RandallGove]

OMG I am 61 and that brought a lot of memories back to me. Thanks.

[@DragonBreath]

Justin you really outdid yourself with this one. I’ve watched it 4 times. I was working from home listening to vids when I clicked on it and I had to stop working and focus on this instead . Lol. Great job! Thank you for sharing your passions with the world, because we’re passionate too!

[@marajadefire77]

A beautifully crafted historical tribute to Disney of bygone days. Thanks Justin for your hard work and dedication!

[@OBSwinger619]

Thank you Justin, I couldn't stop smiling. I was born in 1955 and didn't go to Disneyland with my family (Dad, Mom, & Brother) until 1962. Interstate 5 was a two lane road.

[@Taydar]

What a wonderful journey into the past

[@maraparker3716]

These flashback videos are soooooooooooooooooooo fun!!!!

[@jameswsomers]

Thanks,that brought back many fond memories of our first time at Disneyland when we first move to California.The second time we went ws around '61 right after they put in the sub ride,Matahorn,and monorail.When we rode on the monorail we were fortunate enough to ride in the lead car with the pilot seating right above us.great family experience for sure!

[@Dragonrider1227]

This was a pretty clever set up. As long as we're time traveling, I want to stop by 1990 Disney World. I miss when MGM Studios was a working studio.

[@whiteelectricwind]

I was there then and remember it well. Very excited to time travel to the 60's when the park really blossomed in Walt's final years. Tomorrowland became the beautiful gem of the park in the upgrade and the happening scene with live rock and roll day and night. And Pirates of the Carribean was born blowing everybody away!

[@patriciabaumann8425]

I sure do miss that original Disneyland of my early years. 6 decades later, It just ain't the same any more - but then, nothing is. Thanks for letting me borrow your time machine on several occasions to revisit my childhood summer vacations!

[@ValerieRonquillo]

You made my day!! My eyes are sweaty with respect 😭 I miss Disneyland. No better way to end a bad day with a trip back in time to Disneyland! 😁

[@joelslaughter2342]

Well done, sir. That must have taken quite a long time to edit, and I offer my appreciation. A fascinating, entertaining look at the early years. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@marxdesign]

An amazing show. Thanks for all of the work it took and the high production value. 😎

[@astralmatrix]

Thanks again for taking us back in time to Disneyland. Your narration added great historical information.

[@tammysmith5528]

That was great fun! I enjoy trips down memory lane at Disney!

[@brandon104627]

this is so cool

[@garretvaughn7936]

Thanks for taking the time to edit all of the historical footage in order to give us all a trip back in time to the Disneyland of our childhood! So many amazing memories!

[@HowDoYouSolveAProblemLikeMe]

Justin, I grew up in Southern California and have been going to Disneyland since I was five years old. It is so awesome that your videos allow me to remember how things were at the park, and how far it has come. Thank you!!!

[@stevebrown3958]

Holy crap production value overload! Well done Justin. Love the beard. You and Ally stay safe and sane out there and keep up the good work 👍

[@gwuannapolis]

This is actually one of the best videos of the very early Disneyland that I have yet to see created! You used vintaged videos and what even looks like family film footage to takes us back to 1955-1959! I really enjoy this!

[@OrangityOrange]

These time travel pieces are MASTERFUL

[@flynlr]

I remember when going through the Matterhorn on the skyway you could see most of the track of the Matterhorn as it was basically wide open in the mountain. it was later that they remolded the Matterhorn and enclosed all the track in the mountain.

[@Dorothyy62]

These Time Travel vids are terrific! Armchair Touristing at its best!

[@kmm129]

My Pop's was an iron-worker in So. Cal in the late 60's - 90's- and all thru the 70's he worked at Disneyland. We had a "Jungle Gym" in our backyard from the iron bamboo at the Jungle Cruise ride. It was about 12 feet high by 12 wide cube. My baby bro jumped off with his "Batman cape" and bit completely through his bottom lip landing. Nailed it. Good times.

[@markpulham2555]

The Disney Magic is alive and kicking! Thanks for the fantastic job of helping us all travel back in time. Brought back many wonderful memories! Thanks for the many hours of editing and scripting ...what a great start of my day!

[@crazydogladynikki]

What a great way to share and preserve these old home movies! These are so much fun, I love it!!

[@JeffFrmJoisey]

That was Fantastic!!! Don't know how & where you found all the old, original Disneyland home movies from way back when, but so glad you did!!!! Thanks for taking us back to the beginnings of Disneyland!!!!!

[@richardthompson6406]

We love these old movies of our favorite park. Thanks much. Bye from Oregon

[@eurcata]

Amazing! Amazing! What a gem! I will absolutely be watching this for years to come, I will see new things every time. Well done Justin

[@richardwillett]

I understand that back in the 50's Tomorrowland had a hobby shop! For me that REALLY would make it the happiest place on earth!

[@jeffmorris739]

Wow that makes me feel young. I didn't visit the Magic Kingdom until the 70's. in Florida. First year stayed in the Contemporary. Good times. Thanks for the memories.

[@MrShooter72]

Good stuff Justin! I love how you added yourself into some of the shots. Oh sorry, I mean, LOVE how you were actually there!!!

[@stevereno]

First time at Disneyland was on my 5th birthday, August 8, 1960 (so I was born about 3 weeks after DL opened, lol). My favorite ride was Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride! I still remember the glow in the dark Tinkerbell magic wand and Mickey Mouse caps as souvenirs from that trip. Also, walking back with my parents to our ‘55 Chevy in the huge parking lot, where my balloons kept getting in the faces of two women walking along with us. On our way back to our home in Oregon, my parents tried to fool me by saying Mt. Shasta was the Matterhorn… Fast forward to the year 2006, when at age 51 I returned again to Disneyland, and my fave ride? You guessed it… Mr Toad’s Wild Ride! Some things never change…

[@poplife8115]

That was freaking awesome your love of Disney is great thanks for sharing

[@BrettJeffries]

That flux capacitor transferred a lot of rich details to the 21st century. During the tour, I didn't notice any vending machines, but I know they were there, especially the cigarette machine near Dumbo. That machine survived until just before the 1983 Fantasyland upgrade. Vending machines were the future at the Space Bar until they became the past in 1967. The flux capacitor might need little time warp adjustment. Although it seems to have been around "forever," I think Jack Wagner's "permanecer sentados por favor" line was added to his spiel during the 1978 Matterhorn upgrade. Still, that's a remarkably accurate compilation of details in a tour guide format that would make Walt proud.

[@ManzaMediaTV]

Both of these installments of your's actually brought me right there somehow and made me think, 'Walt basically JUST built this thing and imagined all this up with his team. This place that we all love and go to still to today.' It's a really wild thing.

[@ellenvoth6366]

I absolutely LOVE this, so many memories of my own first trip (1972? 73?) Gets me right in the feels!

[@imthewalrus2379]

I’m loving these Randomland Time Travel videos. It’s always cool to see old footage of the Disney Parks. And your presentation of the material makes it the best way to visit old Time Disneyland... at least until real time travel becomes possible.

[@square-on-wheels]

Justin, these are just wonderful. Great to see your quarantine time is being spent so creatively and productively!! Keep 'em coming!

[@Caterpillarjon]

If I could time travel, I would go back to opening day of The Haunted Mansion, so I could see the original Hatbox Ghost

[@shibbert21]

Awesome! As a Fantasyland Cast Member, I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks for this cool time-travel!

[@richardwilson5185]

Awesome opening for your beginning to travel to Disneyland back in time and the other time travelers you have done thanks for sharing and keep your videos coming

[@skooter82]

Incredibly well done! Thank you for this wonderful trip back in time.

[@mikemarsh7387]

He went back to 1955! Great Scott!

[@WanderWhereWeWanna]

Is the Chicken of the Sea boat where the Enchantment Under the Sea dance took place? 🤔 What a fun trip back in time! Thanks Justin! 😃

[@tonibutcher9823]

Once again awesome time travel. Doc Brown would be proud.

[@kkacilane]

These time travel videos are AWESOME. So unique, so well-researched, just amazing!!

[@jamieadisneyfan8317]

Love, 💘 love, love this old footage! You've got a great video here and did a great job narrating it! Can't wait for more! Thanks Justin!

[@80sgirl76]

Outstanding job Justin! 👏👏 It's so good I've rewatched it twice and going to watch it a 3rd time because I love to stop the video and stare at how different the park looks today. Thank you for this pure magic. ❤❤

[@Kevinardo]

Justin I can only imagine how you long you think about and edit these videos. I know you've got time on your hands, like the rest of us, but you have really hit it out of the part. Thank you so much for this gem of a video!

[@stevechesney2498]

Great Job, Justin. You can really tell you put a lot of blood, sweat and tears into these videos. Can’t wait for the next one!

[@thetravelingpanda1]

Wow! You did such a great job on your video. I loved the back to the future reference in the beginning. I could tell you put a lot of work into this and you really know you history. Love checking out nostalgic Disneyland! Thanks :)

[@jaclin1429]

I love these time travel videos! I love all the history and seeing what the parks used to look like! Thanks for all the hard work 🙂

[@zackr9045]

Amazing! I can tell the amount of time put into this. Keep it up and good work

[@isaacrodriguez8668]

Do this for every decade please!!!! Loved it!

[@dsssgaming4577]

Like old fashion Disneyland park.😀😄😁😆😃😀

[@paulm.newitt3246]

Imagineers and "Disneyland The Nickle Tour" book authors David Mumford and Bruce Gordon (friends of mine, who sadly passed away years ago) would have loved this! They also were big BTTF fans, and knew every filming location. As a kid myself, I remember watching them fly model planes in the flight circle, and eating tuna fish sandwiches at the Grotto. Sure miss the "muted" colors on the castle, and an actual snowline on the Matterhorn!! Next time you time travel, maybe dress up a bit, so the 1950s guests aren't looking at you so funny! LOL! Well done!!!!! P.S. since your brother is a train nut, tell him that I built a 12 foot high Big Thunder Mtn. in G-Scale here in NorCal. :)

[@MindyLeahWilkinson]

You nailed this! This is professional documentary territory. You have moved up a level.

[@nolariggs6959]

Loved this one. Who would have thought that watching some other families home movies would be so enjoyable? Even the ending add one , hilarious.

[@estefaniatorres7277]

My eyes are sweaty with respect. Thank you for making this video, I needed it 🥺✨

[@wallyboag]

The sound design on this video is superb. Makes it feel like you are really there. Amazing job, Justin!

[@thetravelingsteampunkkitty534]

My dad and his brothers era.... I hear stories from my dad from his adventures of Disneyland, how he bought a ticket book with A,B,C,D,E on it, So he has to planned which ride to go to, (because it’s an one way ticket) his favourite rides is Peter Pan ride, the mine train, the donkey trails, the jungle boats....and watch this old movie is brilliant Thanks for sharing this Justin

[@heatherbella]

This is AMAZING Justin. I am just loving these voiceovers of classic footage! The skyway BEFORE the Matterhorn? AMAZING!!! Wow!

[@TheChoochooboy99]

I am loving this series. My children love it as well. Keep up the good work and thank you.

[@gardendesigns4u]

We love these videos Justin! They have to be a ton of work but it shows! Keep up the good work, I watched the beard video and I have a positive for you. We found you while being bored out of our minds! So that's a GOOD thing!!! We love your videos, you are so funny, you are really helping us crack up in this time of multiple crappy things going on. So THANK YOU! We appreciate the hard work and your crazy sense of humor! Keep up the good work and keep positive!!!

[@coledoucette5116]

I think the 60's was the second best decade of Disneyland. So many cool rides were built that decade like Adventure through inner space, mine train through nature's wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Haunted Mansion

[@joanwhite4428]

thanks for another amazing video justin we live in canvey island england so look forward to the time travel videos cant wait to return to disney.

[@Nancy-iv1yj]

That was amazing, Justin. Thank you for taking us back in time.

[@fandarzelig]

These virtual trips are fantastic. Keep up the great work!

[@mrmartysmith]

Well done Justin, you can see your hard work throughout this video! You've done your duty!

[@professorkrispin8038]

Hands down the best KZbin video I have seen. Very creative and well done. My hat's off to you JustinScarred.

[@raeannmoldenhauer5641]

Absolutely fabulous! Great footage, amazing editing, and wonderful narration. Love these time travel videos so very much!

[@Trader_span]

Justin, You've really done an excellent job with this documentary! Thank you so much!

[@bobs152]

Great stuff, I seem to remember the Skyway being sponsored by Chrysler in the early 60's we lived near Brookhurst and Katella as kids. We used to get to watch the fireworks, then go to bed...

[@jessiehowe10272]

This was very cool! Always wondered what Disneyland was like back then, thanks for the "tour"! 😊

[@dougharlow6037]

Wow, bring back memory's. Thanks

[@xsxce]

Great video haha.

[@Will-bf8rw]

Wow I love seeing Disneyland is its raw form! It is interesting to compare the differences with the Matterhorn changes, the removal of Captain Hook's restaurant, the medieval tent themes for the Fantasyland Dark Rides, as well as the ride placement for Teacups and Dumbo. Look forward to seeing more of these episodes!

[@drewood]

I often find myself craving a nice hot tuna pie while wandering through Fantasyland on a sweltering hot southern California summer day! That vid was awesome! Love the time-travel!

[@colinduncan2703]

I love this series so much

[@BertieFett]

Really nice video Justin. I’d love to travel back to old school Disneyland one day

[@cloeasia]

LOVED the intro!! Thank you for bringing us so much joy!

[@callmecat9715]

These docs are EXCELLENT! Great job🎈🎈 Thank you for ALL the hard work and research; from us all

[@user-ds214]

So clever and cool Justin😎👍👍 I remember DL in the 70s🙋

[@sapphire76]

Beautifully done, Justin. Thank you so much!

[@chloelarson2085]

Great video! I can’t wait to see what happens next! I think all of this is so exciting. I love the green screen aspect of the video. It made me smile! Keep them coming!

[@jasonvandermeer9854]

I’m missing the freedom to travel to the fantastic Disney parks during these suddenly restricted times of the coronavirus - this retrospect is exactly what I needed! Thank you! Looking forward to a future video that might show the original jungle cruise in Adventureland!

[@HEYMANWITHJAYMAN]

Meeeeee too. I want to go to time travel. Back in the 50's!! Another rad narration video

[@jerryuffelman2986]

Yay! Bravo! Tumultuous Applause! Good job Justin. Thank you for all the hard work. My one Disneyland experience was in 1965 while stationed in San Diego at The Naval Training Center (Which is no more).

[@jeanrose53]

Hello Justin. This was awesome to watch! You gave us a real sense of being right there! And, if you watch closely, James Garner and his family are in a cameo shot on Main Street. Thanks for sharing this with us! Amazing how many changes have been made over the years. The skyway would have been a great way to see Disneyland from above everything! Have a wonderful, magical week!

[@cyraconforth9989]

I LOVE these time travel videos!! I’m glad the flux capacitor worked properly, who KNOWS where you could have ended up!
