DISNEYLAND TODAY VERSUS OPENING DAY - Disneyland 67th Birthday Special

[@katrinaandrews5263]

We’re not worthy! Beautifully done Brickey! Thank you for taking your time to create and share this with us ❤️

[@disneyLani]

My Dad went opening day. He would talk about it every time we went. Main Street was his favorite place to be. My Dad was all about the history. I cry every time I walk down Main Street when we visit and remember my Dads Magical place. He passed the love to me and I have passed it down to my children. Thank you for your beautiful videos.

[@josephbrown9685]

I just realized while watching this video that Disneyland has now existed longer than Walt Disney’s entire lifespan, and much of Disneyland is unchanged from opening day. There is something astounding about that thought. This video is incredible.

[@bobbaranickstreehouse8848]

I think they are called KZbin Streamy Awards. I vote for this video. It is hands down my favorite ever created and deserves the top award. This video also makes the current DL feel as much like the original park as possible. Emotions are beautifully spoken. Thank you Brickey!

[@disneylandgirlygirl]

I agree 10000%!!!y new favorite video!

[@simba001ly]

This is a wonderful video! “Disneyland is a Groundhog Day of nostalgia. A trusted friend who is there when you need it.” Thank you.

[@DisneyFan-eg3oz]

Hello! David here!, I been a Disneyland fan and collector for over fifty years and this is the best short film on Disneyland that I have seen. Thanks! so much and have a magical day!😊

[@katecamellia]

Made me tear up! Disneyland is my friend that’s always there when I need it 🤍

[@TheDailyWoo]

Great video Brickey . Enjoyed the way you placed the then and nows fading into each other . Happy birthday Disneyland

[@justjulief]

Brickey… another beautiful video. Story and music again, could bring me to tears… the word I most ascribe this feeling to is “hireath”. A longing… I’m of the age that I’ve seen the beginning, taken my (now adult) sons to for the middle, and am gliding into my ending, and most memorable, times of this place. A happy place. Where we make memories and remember ALL of it. The how, the why, and of course, the continuing story. It will be here after we are not. I’d like to think we will be able to see it from afar, and how the people that mean the most to us, are still going and making their own memories. Thank you Brickey.

A MUST SEE for DISNEYLAND FANS!! Creator Brickey brings his off-the-charts storytelling chops and beautiful video production talents to this 67th birthday MASTERPIECE! 🎉If you’re not yet subscribed, what are you waiting for??? 🦸🏻THANK YOU, BRICKEY!!You keep knocking ‘em outta the park, and your fans are grateful!!🏰👏🏻🎈💕

[@julieclarke621]

I so love the original Disneyland filming. What a beyond belief success story, and what a goal!..to make all Park guests happy! Your research and editing style is the best!! Thank you!!!

[@disnyqueen5511]

AGREED

[@MrCocoloco]

You truly got to walk in Walt's footsteps with this video. I've never felt so connected to Walt and the history of the park as I do now. I feel as if I got to live it for all 16 minutes. I leaked magic from beginning to end; and again on the second and third watch. Knowing how quick of a turn around this video was, phenomenal, phenomenal job. Can't wait to see the side by side for the 75th!

[@ericdunn7352]

You'll need to wait for the 70th anniversary which is next year.

[@pamelaoldham1298]

That was awesome!! Its easy to forget that when the original Tomorrowland attractions were made, they truly were in the land of “Imagination “.

[@anab.7450]

What a lovely video that perfectly captures Disneyland’s magic! ✨ I really loved the side-by-side scenes that show how much things have changed. Thanks for the Friday Disney entertainment Brickey!

[@lcflngn]

To think that 1890 was to 1956 as 1956 is to us today. Maybe our perspective of time passing has changed a lot with color photos, then digital photos, videos, etc. but it’s still the same length of time. That’s always an astonishing thought to me. Fabulous video Brickey, worth a spot in the forever archives (made that up, it should be a thing). Just imagine what’s to come! Even with all the money, the corporation, the recently reported negative changes for Cast, I still hope for a better future, for DL,and for all of us. It’s what we make it, of course. What Walt was most concerned about. Don’t ever miss making your voice heard whenever necessary. Gotta look to the future, based in a clear-eyed view of the past. My favorite Mickey quote from Fantasmic is “This is my dream!” Mickey owns it 100%. We should all do the same.

[@wesl8787]

Wow, you are a Master at your craft. The emotions came out of me today. So many good memories through the years, and such a great place to escape. I have always said Disneyland has to be the closest you can get Heaven on Earth. Thank you Brickey!!!

[@ckbarry]

Such a lovely birthday gift to honor Disneyland and Walt. Thanks for this. 💖

[@nightisright1873]

Also don't forget how much of a jerk walt was towards his animators

[@julieclarke621]

Well…. Not a good idea to throw out the baby with the bath water”.

[@kristenw218]

Thank you for telling the Disneyland story as only you can. Loved seeing all the 1955 footage along with today. This was everything!

[@carrierobinson6474]

Watching it again, and I just hear John Lovitz in that reporter who says "rivers of the world, of America I mean". Love the history of this video.

[@carrierobinson6474]

OMG! thank you so much for doing this video. I love it! I had suggested a while ago a video of you filming the park alongside the Record where they tour the park to see what is still the same and how much has changed, this here was so much better, going along with the opening day video. Ron Reagan as a reporter, amazing for us all to see as it was before our time. Happy 67 years Disneyland. Amazing and beautiful work Mark!

[@bombero3020]

What a great video ! Took me back to so many memories with so many relatives that have left us , so many happy memories with friends and loved ones , thank you Trainiac so much

[@MsKitcloudkicker]

12:50 “… in the name of the children of the world” is incredibly powerful 🥲

[@disneylandgirlygirl]

This is truly amazing Brickey! 🙌❤️ This made my heart happy and I absolutely loved seeing the side by sides and the fades. THANK YOU for making an incredible video I will be watching over and over ❤️

[@RomyGoddess]

My favorite video yet! Beautifully done! I saved it and will continue to watch it in the future when I need a good Disneyland cry! Thank you!!!

[@timreed6718]

Another classic Brickey video. Well done sir. You capture the vibe and touch the emotions, like no other. Great job.

[@RocHopn]

Brickey, great video! Very well narrated, very well edited! I hope your channel grows.

[@cindyprice5505]

Thank you for spreading the magic. ❤️ you are wonderful.

[@jessicahendron636]

Finally got to watching this video and I highly recommend it! What a well crafted and thoughtful birthday tribute to Walt's park. Thank you for your dedication, Brickey!

[@RedheadedMama]

Thank you Brickey! What a wonderful tribute to Disneyland then and now!

[@peterzimmer9801]

Excellent work, Brickey! You nailed it! Disneyland will never be complete as long as there is imagination left in the world! Can’t wait to see what you have in store for the train video!🤗🤗🚂🚂🚂

[@peterzimmer9801]

@@HeyBrickey You can do it, Brickey! I believe in you! Pace yourself. I’m excited for you!!🤗🤗

[@effie3]

This is really special ⭐️ Your narration is perfection, and I absolutely love how you combined the old footage with how things look now.

[@kristyhunter3225]

Wow!! Thank you, Brickey! What a beautiful piece!!

[@jasonjoseph8814]

Amazing work Brickey! All I wanna say is ... thank you!

[@jimlinde2753]

Such a beautiful video, Brickey! Please continue your inspiring work as I plan and aspire to my next visit. Meanwhile, I'll just have to dream I'm enjoying those rich ladyfingers and shopping for my first silver buttonhook. Thanks for sharing this awesome birthday card!

[@jimlinde2753]

@@HeyBrickey Hah, a buttonhook is a very olde-fashionedy tool to help well-appointed ladies do up those long rows of tiny buttons. I am willing to bet that they were still available to buy on Main Street when I first visited at age 6! I very clearly remember the women's underthings SHOPPE that used to operate there! I don't imagine they offered any themed souvenir buttonhooks, though-- they're narrow little things-- but if they did I'd be struggling to keep my wallet in my pocket!

[@disnyqueen5511]

I can only imagine how great this video will be knowing your vision of these such videos. Have not seen it yet but will be watching later and I know it will be amazing I love the way you present things definitely a must watch thank you again for always making things special 😁👏👏👏👍

[@stewartmahon4344]

Brilliant video, great job 👏

[@ItsmeJulianna]

This was a wonderful piece! Great work!

[@apfelbasket]

I've been to Walt Disney World 6 times, but not once to Disneyland. I really would love to go & see things as Walt did. The ability to put so much in a small space & not make it look like it. To see the window above the fire department where Walt was able to view his dream come true. To ride the same rides Walt rode himself. That is my dream!

[@reneep4864]

So good!!! 🥺❤️🏰🧚‍♂️💫

Beautiful!

[@lovelo8780]

There aren't many places where people of different races, colors, religions, genders, political beliefs, ages, worldviews, and backgrounds can co-exist peacefully and have fun without problems, as if those things don't exist. Walt truly built something wonderful, and it's our job to keep the dream alive for the Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow we all deserve

[@cheryloster3492]

This was awesome. Thank you !

[@christopherquinn1879]

​Autopia is actually the future it is not the present since there is no traffic except at the end of the attraction just like at the end of the day when you go home.🚗
