Disneyland makes HUGE leap forward | Disneyland Construction 10/27/2024

[@tsn6899]

What I really like about Hungry Bear is the large amount of seating. Never had a problem finding an open table.

[@wendypoloway8692]

Your happiness is so infectious ! It is so nice to see someone who doesn’t complain all the time about Disney….it makes me so excited to go to Disney and share your joy 😊

[@rudolph_ci]

This update feels like a warm embrace. Plus, seeing David with such genuine happiness is such a treat as well.

[@toshibavoodoo]

5:38 SO GLAD, they fixed the squeaky tracks!!! (David referring to the audio track, not the rail road track. BUT it is still fixed!)

[@user-dt5eo8vv6f]

The best construction update will be Tomorrowland. Hopefully in our lifetime.

[@chrishintz1077]

Yay 🎉

[@skadi84]

We can live vicariously through Tokyo Disneyland's lol

[@GregIsAFan]

Me too. My guess is that they will close it completely, tear most of it down to dirt and rebuild it. My guess is Space Mountain (in some form), Subs and Autopia(though converted to electric vehicles) will remain. I wouldn’t be surprised if some kind of people mover contraption winds its way through the rebuilt Tomorrowland. I’d love to see all the late 60’s attractions reimagined and back in pristine condition. I’m 62 and have no doubt the imagineers will do Walt proud with whatever they do, I just hope I live to see it.

[@aiver.a]

As long as Tron makes it in I’ll be happy

[@aprilanddavehunt6220]

I remember in 1985 , in southern California my mother won a a prize on a radio show , Casey kacm , All the people that won that called in and got the answer right, were able to go Disneyland when it was closed , after midnight , until morning , plus they gave us free food and a gift bag and the Disneyland hotel and took monorail, from Disneyland hotel to tomorrow land, Only 50 people in the hole park , no lines on any of the rides. , the Disneyland cast let us stay in the ride and didn’t have to get off , one of the most awesome childhood memories of all time. We rode all the rides At lest 10 times each. Keep up the great work Fresh baked

[@KlovesD_2015]

Perfect thumbnail - you and the train always brings a smile to my face! Can see the joy!😊🚂

[@anthonypecorara]

These videos are the BEST part of my week! Thanks David!

[@seanbexton]

I’m so giddy watching the construction update and it’s just begun! 0:59

[@mitchland1192]

Going in 2 weeks! So happy much of the construction is over!

[@ScanFan_Ed]

David, I completely agree that having the train running truly does make a big difference as far as the overall feel of the park. I was there Friday afternoon and SO happy to be back on the train. I heard one engineer say they were very close to only being able to run two trains, but eventually did go to three, as you mentioned. Not sure what the issue was that almost made it two for the day.

[@bretthamilton4018]

Your rain days at Disney will always be my favorite vids.

[@toshibavoodoo]

SOLID EPISODE!! Watching for the 4th time, kudo's to DAvid! Hungry Bear, is part of my best memories of Disnayland in the 80's!! I was sad when they cut it back for StarWars, but not a bad trade.

[@WindowtotheMagic]

My favorite part of these weekly updates has to be listening to David struggling to rectify the developing Haunted Mansion queue with the concept art. He tries so hard. It’s downright inspiring.

[@toshibavoodoo]

9:48 WALLS ARE DOWN, WALLS ARE DOWN!!! So glad to see and feel the vibe. (no water yet, but I have seen it running, so not far off)

[@michaelsullivan3581]

As we went onto the trestle and the full view of Rivers Of America came into view I became all verklempt! Overjoyed! Dang it, I love Disneyland! Thank you so much for sharing this FreshBaked! And wow have Disney done a spanking great job sprucing everything up! All fears assuaged!

[@agentXphoenix]

I have soooooo many fond memories of family trips to Disneyland and we always went to Hungry Bear at least once. Loved being able to sit by the water before the refurb and chill out, absorbing the Disney. 💜💜

[@Storm-uk8jt]

Nice energy,felt Disney is as usual awesome,Fresh baked thank you,had such a crappy day, after seeing this big thumbs up from me and my partner, living in England we are,and visiting Disney on 8th November..... thanks for your tips on the park...

[@TheThemeParkWanderlust]

24:56 Hey I’m in this video! The bottom middle of the screen with the white shirt and headphones. Thanks for the Construction updates! I really love watching your videos. I also wanted to share that I have a KZbin channel too! The Theme Park Wanderlust. KZbinrs like you have really inspired me to do it, and it was also a huge honor to meet you on Friday! (I was the kid who took a picture with you in front of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure)

[@MelkhorX]

So great to see everything opening. Knowing the news last week, I was really looking forward to seeing this update.

[@theresarobertson3920]

I love your love and appreciation for Disneyland!

[@jasonranks1]

Great update David!! Our friends just got back from Disneyland last week. I wish they could have enjoyed all of this

[@nicunursie9025]

We’re making moves!!! Wooohooo!!!

[@bethbauer6]

So, so happy that the railroad is back! We are going to be at the park next week and this is one of the things I was so hoping would be operational. David, thanks for this video! You mentioned during the live stream that your intel thought it would be open and it was right. Btw, I totally match your enthusiasm! 🎉

[@LauriCarlson-ld9gq]

Great updates David I miss Disneyland Railroad so much

[@ronaldmills8669]

Ty for sharing this awesome video my friend

[@BoopsNstuff]

I’ve been excited in anticipation waiting for this update from you!

[@barbhawkinson659]

I remember when it was Bear Country and as you walked past a huge rock wall/cave on your way to see the Country Bear Jamboree you could hear a bear snoring 🥰🐻

[@bzydad]

It was great seeing you today 10/28 as we were riding the fire truck. Went to the soft opening to Hungry Bear on Thursday and loved the meat platter with the slaw and beans. Followed your standby tricks during our trip but did LL on Saturday. Thanks again for all you do for us muffins.

[@JeanetteBarnard-st9uy]

It was a great video to see all the progress in the park. I love watching your true happiness David 😍🤩😁

[@roslynlahiff5337]

Thankyou for your wonderful updates, David. You are the best!

[@kellypowell1483]

We will be there the end of next month, looking forward to seeing all the opened attractions/rides!

[@travelingwithmikeandpam9074]

We've always loved going to the Hungry Bear also!

[@EnchantedGalAdventures]

Fantastic!! 🎉🎉

[@dazednblazed420]

I love your content because I am from Anaheim and Disney is my obsession. But I have to say the shot of the train with the fog was just so pretty 🤩

[@heatherlp4818]

I’m getting excited for the Haunted Mansion queue! It is looking beautiful. I don’t think I have ever been so excited to stand in a line!🤣

[@TypicalCrazing]

I think I see a glimmer. Great video. Hopeful!

[@DisneylandMusician]

I agree with your take on Tiana's. The ride and most of the scenes look great, except the shrunken frog/Laughing Place room. It's so flat and the reliance on screens is rough. There's always going to be a back up before the drop (because the logs have to wait to ascend) , and I was already bored of the firefly/Odie screens after 2 rides on it. Also, the laughing place/burrow's lament scene had about 20 audio animatronics, and it got downgraded to 4 very simple animatronics and 5 screens. That scene is a HUGE miss and it brings down the ride with it.

[@poppydu6857]

i think even if they just brought back the water jets they used to have in the laughing place and the raining mushrooms itd add a lot of needed energy to the scenes

[@DisneylandMusician]

@@poppydu6857 I agree! I'm surprised that Florida kept their jumping water effects but they didn't keep our bouncing water effects.

[@gridley]

The attraction was inspired more by politics, not creativity. The irony is Tiana's incorporates a setting of slavery (ie, a Louisiana salt mine) & presents quasi-black accent-dialect patterns (See: Character of "Mammy" in Gone with the Wind).

[@peterharris8471]

Riiiight, because the jumping water effect was so woke. 🙄​@@gridley

[@slowazzd2165]

This is peak disney fan, whining about NOTHING. Lemme guess, you spent your entire first ride looking for anything you could be critical of

[@brettlindsay4683]

Just got home from Disney and witnessed tractors in place at the Earl of Sandwich location! Looks like they are getting started soon.

[@madelineromanski933]

Been around since the beginning-you guys showed us the secret path and now we’ve made it part of our trip every time we go. It’s such a special and quiet part of the park!

[@parkerpowers2841]

Great updates, Fresh Baked!!

[@Rrusso92]

Heading to Disneyland with my toddler tomorrow! He wants to meet Mickey and do the slides in Toontown lol. Hopefully we can ride the train once around and have a nice relaxing time :)

[@tbx59]

Now we just got to get the New Orleans Square/Frontierland station open.

[@engagexkujo]

Spoke to Railroad CMs they said the finale will be available for viewing from the train once the attraction is officially open.

[@toshibavoodoo]

12:20 SECRET PATH! This and the secret spot by the Mark Twain dock are the best in the park.

[@MArStor]

I've been to Disneyland 6 times since 2017 and never been to the secret path. It's on my list for Nov 9! What is the secret spot by the MT dock?

[@toshibavoodoo]

@@MArStor IM SO HAPPPY YOU ASKED!!! It is The Frontierland Shipping Office, it is across from ThunderMountain, next too boarding on the MArk Twain. It is remenistic before Starwars expansion when you could eat at Hungry Bear along the River edge. Cool Place.

[@anthonyvazquez9067]

Went to the park Sunday late afternoon and was pleasant walk on to indie in about 30 mins

[@justinmckenzie8567]

I'm hoping the Brisket pictures I saw on r/Disneyland were just a bad batch. Dry brisket makes me sad.

[@FreshBakedDisney]

it's dry. sauce required.

[@jaysonpida5379]

Hopefully it's a 'wet' winter so all the new plants and trees (as well as the rest of the greenery) can get a good 'soaking'. Imo Tiana's is a great ride...as the years go by it will acquire the same passion and affection as Splash did for the earlier generations. When 'everything' is done from Pirates to Hungry Bear (hopefully that includes TS's island & the 'burned' building)...that part of the park will be spectacular. Now if the 'attention' and $ can focus on Tomorrowland.

[@illuminaughty2929]

Nice to see water in the final drop of Tianas Bayou Adventure 11:32

[@toshibavoodoo]

15:15 LOVE THAT VIEW!! So eager to get back into the park! (if you miss, it repeats 4.5X-So Good!)

[@toshibavoodoo]

'Disney design at its best' -Freshbaked!! I agree the the hungry bear is one of my favorite attractions!

[@MArStor]

I loved this update and the POV train ride video on your other channel. I was just surprised they didn't update the reference to the term "Indian". At least in Canada where I am, it's a big no-no. Excited to visit DL starting Nov. 9!

[@LauriCarlson-ld9gq]

I am going to miss splash mountain so much

[@devindriscoll5440]

Amazing!

[@ghost2679]

18:27 is that ordinary adventure

[@tflo25]

My family and I went to Hungry Bear last night and we were surprised on how good the food was. We had the pulled pork sandwich, brisket sandwich, loaded fries, and banana pudding. The only critque I have is the meat wasn't hot.

[@abovethefirehouse]

I was there on the 28th and it was great. Wait times were like 45min and it was crowded but 2016 crowded.

[@marcuscheng2507]

I am so looking forward to going back in 35 days!!

[@altosax18]

There was no view into Tiana's Bayou Adventure from the Railroad during the previews yesterday. I wouldn’t expect the doors to be up until the official opening on 11/15.

[@lindamemo5224]

I’m on the fence to buy a MK Nov 6. Don’t forget to remind everyone

[@Jawnzun]

Hungry Bear looks delicious not gonna lie!

[@cameronw.5022]

As of Monday Small World had water, but no boats. People in bright pink vests were at the controll stations. And the Toy Box was open.

[@FreshBakedDisney]

saw the pink vests as well. never seen them before. Wondering who they might be.

[@davidculver5446]

Looks like the CEO Iger days are moving on. He will not select a new CEO replacement. This is a good first step

[@keirjenkins7429]

Secret Path!! ❤

[@chrishintz1077]

My fave part of the train spiel is long gone: “the smoking lamp is out”. ;(. It motivated me to look up the smoking lamp history and meaning. Lovely to see the train rolling into the station though.

[@patrickperalta59]

Since Small World is down for repairs or what ever are they going to switch it over to the Christmas theme while it is down at the moment........much like they did with Haunted Mansion and the Halloween Theme.

[@donnamortensen959]

Hi Dave, I am visiting Disneyland from 15th Sept to 27th Sept 2025 from Australia - do you think that Small World will close before than or after the end of September? I would hate to to miss it - it’s almost a right of passage for us (as is The Enchanted Tiki Room) on every visit 😊

[@ChristinaWood-p3c]

at the hungry bear there was a Trellace that was blocking the train view that you couldnt see through

[@aaroncardenas8425]

We walked by the new haunted mansion gift shop at 10 pm Friday evening and there were workers still working. They may be getting even closer to opening than we thought.

[@leonardoa4820]

Hey fresh baked if you peak in between the doors at the lego store you can actually see what they are doing inside!

[@kayclark4406]

Still hoping every time I come to see Mr. Lincoln open.

[@coasters_bgw]

Opening 2025!

[@williamraymond4707]

Question,is America sings building still there? If not what replaced it?

[@lindamemo5224]

David you have to watch Wdwnt today. He reported the Spider-Man Stanton’s is going away due to budget cuts. Also the train will have 3 more 3 month track refurbs over the next 2 years. He had some good insight.

[@ChristianCarmona-y2b]

Hi fresh bake like watching your channel

[@Brokenandhalfalive]

Is the small world gift shop open? I need those pennies!

[@coasters_bgw]

Yes, it is

[@jamesking6068]

Hello New your Channel love your videos live in Brisbane Australia 🇦🇺 just wanted to know what camera u use as it clear and smooth and coming Disneyland in 4 of march 2025 thanks

[@jeffreyh7951]

Hey Fresh Baked!!

[@luvu2much101]

Tiana's ride makes you hungry!

[@LJC123]

When will the NOS station re-open?? Needs to!

[@WindowtotheMagic]

When they finish the construction.

[@rigogracia18]

Do you think they’ll add Brer Rabbit, Brer Fox and Brer Bear to the cemetery at the haunted mansion?

[@angelah5194]

I love get away today!!

[@kayclark4406]

Hungry Bear is way more crowded than it ever was befit the new menu!

[@scottmortensen4093]

Any rumors as to when Haunted Mansion will be fully opened? Next trip is scheduled for February and hoping it is good to go by then.

[@DarrenHunter]

Hello Fresh Baked people!!! Question for anyone here….will Disneyland ever do anything with the people mover tracks!?

[@MrEljay2005]

Rode the train on Saturday ❤

[@wolftress2503]

Super obscure question but did they change the fries at Hungry Bear? Thanks!

[@peterharris8471]

Holy cow! It's all coming together.🥹 Thanks, Fresh Baked!

[@dlong7146]

What about Big Thunder Mountain Railroad? The refurb calendar, which as of today goes to December 9th, shows Big Thunder is closed with no opening insight. Closed for Halloween and Christmas... What is up with that?

[@daydragoon331]

Big Thunder will actually be open for the remainder of the Halloween season, it doesn’t close until November 18th

[@laurieallen8040]

Love GET AWAY TODAY!

[@JoshuaOrro-MustangPrinceOR-YTB]

Before it was brought to Disneyland, Bayou Country was featured in one episode of Tailspin

[@flashygrillz]

The stairs look like fresh new concrete. Either that, or they were blasted clean.

[@TomSabrina-m5z]

Well it was exciting update until you mentioned the refurb dates. I can’t believe BTM is closed starting the 18th. Dave, can you confirm?? We will be there for Thanksgiving and am really bummed in Big Thunder is closed. Why would they close it during the start of the holidays? It is my favorite ride.

[@brittcmarques]

I’m wondering about this too! So far it looks like it will be closed for over 3 weeks. Really hoping it won’t really be closed that long!

[@TomSabrina-m5z]

😢

[@lonesoul663]

Now we just need a west coast CBJ again with actual country songs.

[@brandonstyles8144]

That looks like Br'er Fox on the sign that the turtle is holding up . Am I wrong?

[@trustjah]

24:29 What are we seeing in the background?

[@lagcofamilyfun8154]

what camera are you using? thank you❤

[@tlb2703]

Do we know if/when Disney will announce if Tiana’s will be virtual queue/lightning lane single pass when it officially opens?

[@WindowtotheMagic]

Count on it.

[@coasters_bgw]

@@WindowtotheMagic But how would VQ work with Single Rider? Seperate VQ for single riders, or do single riders not need a VQ? Do single riders need the same vq and split into a separate line? We know they're doing single rider, it has its' own dedicated line and sign, so I'm not sure how those would work together

[@nancyweirum426]

Betting part of small world refurb is for projections.

[@mouthytim]

Out of curiosity can you purchase a mason jar with Ray in it or any other mason jar that has a theme in it?

[@derekwalls61]

What about the critter club?

[@coasters_bgw]

Opens 11/13 via Disney Parks Blog

[@MrEljay2005]

Also, I prefer the previous voice narration inflection when train comes around the bend over the river...after the Hungry Bear. This one seems less dramatic.
