EXPLORING DISNEYLAND CALIFORNIA FOR THE FIRST TIME | CALIFORNIA VLOGS

[@TheBoyGeddes]

Shoutout to the Dad with a kid on his shoulders, dancing through the music/light show, while loads looked like statues, that guy would be me. Sod the bores

[@rdennis19]

Magic Kingdom used to have the submarine ride when the park first opened but it was themed to 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. It was where Seven Dwarfs Mine Train is now.

[@samanthabrown5975]

I remember that ride too, the submarine looked identical to the one the guys were in, all sitting in a row. I remember going when it had closed and they had drained the tank/pool to fill it in

[@TheRamjam95]

i've been watching your vlogs for a little over a year now, and as a native Los Angeleno and a long time Disneyland AP, i absolutely loved seeing your guys reactions to everything!! I go to the parks almost once a week, so i know Disneyland inside and out, but seeing it through the perspective of people who have never been is my favorite thing!! I'm so happy you guys got to experience Disney on the West Coast and I can't wait for the rest of your California vlogs!! (:

[@murvo]

Re: Space Mountain, that's because Space Mountain in Florida came first :) They had time to update it/change things for Disneyland a few years later.

[@alisonosullivan3833]

I loved this vlog as it brought back so many memories of my trip there in 1980. I was so pleased to see the Storybook Land ride, as I remember going through the whales mouth on a boat but couldn’t remember the name of the ride. It’s definitely a bit different now though but as an almost 6 year old who didn’t know anyone else who had been there, it was all so amazing. Makes me want to dig the photos out at my Mums when I can. Thanks. X

[@stephencoutu2674]

The Matterhorn bobsled ride at Disneyland was the first ever tubular roller coaster system ever built, every section of track was bent by hand and this ride is the most, rattle your teeth coaster, you will ever ride!

[@ellens9085]

I have to give you both a round of applause because I don’t have to wait weeks between your vlogs. After a long day at work, drag my ass home, and viola, there you are! Thank you!! ... and cheers🍻🙂👏👏👏👏👏👏👍🏻❤️

[@jackiepower1681]

I'm so envious. I first went to Disneyland in 1973. They sold pass books with the rides marked ABC. I have been back loads of times. Florida is good but not as homely as Disneyland. I'm so glad you're enjoying the park I hoped you would be impressed and not disappointed. Best wishes to you both Jackie from Torquay 🙂x

[@stephencoutu2674]

The Space Mountain in Florida was built first, so when they built Space Mountain at Disneyland they were able to update and fix anything that did not work. Also the Disneyland Space Mountain is much smaller and to accommodate the same ride capacity per hour they had to double the number of guests in each ride vehicle.

[@lloydthomas1827]

In space mountain they changed the ride cars (carriages) from side by side to one in front of the other to make it feel more like your riding a rocket. Also in Disney World it helped to narrow up the tracks as you have two separate tracks going at one time. Your making me want to take a flight out to California!

[@murvo]

Space Mountain in Disney World actually came first and was always single rider row based on the Materhorn bobsleds. It was only added to Disneyland several years later- so they had time to rethink it when they brought it to the west coast and made changes :)

[@lindseydepp6519]

The blue bayou attached to pirates of the Caribbean ride restaurant was very expensive

[@jadelivermore5076]

Great vlog. Loved how excited you are to see everything new and how it differs. It is such a tiny castle! Rise of the resistance is just as crazy there as it is in Orlando to get on it!

[@becskirk293]

You have to remember it’s the original park and original castle . People want to see that ! It’s the only park Walt Disney actually ever was in . That makes it special all on its own.

[@becskirk293]

Magicbands are coming this fall 2022 to Disneyland California and DCA …….so exciting.

[@pinchofsalteileen6235]

It's a small world there looks the same as in Paris park also looks like Paris we ate in the pirate resturant in Paris food was lovely very different from Orlando x

[@debbie8184]

I’m starting to think they will enjoy Disneyland Paris. Different again but similar set up.

[@debbie8184]

Tamara it’s not so big is it? Now I’ve seen their reaction to Disneyland though, I’ve more hope in Nick enjoying it.

[@debbie8184]

Tamara I’ve not seen the California castle. Only Florida and Paris.

[@barbaraslaska9588]

That Nemo ride is like the old 20 thousand leagues under the seas at Disney World ....Many years ago....

[@heatherrobertson5316]

Have to just simply say.. Love the banter and the vlogs are bloody brilliant.. Can't wait to see more xx

[@jadegresswell9508]

Love the longer vlog! Can’t wait to see tomorrow’s :) nicks screaming just makes it lol!

[@lorenaarias1952]

I love Disneyland!! And yes, the Matterhorn is Mount Everest. Did you know that all that golden parts of Its a Small World are actually gold?!!! Walt insisted on putting very thin gold sheets on it. His brother was not very happy when he went back and saw it, but Walt loved it. I find it very funny that when people who have been to WDW first go to Disneyland, they all say the Castle is tiny. But for us who first saw Disneyland Castle, and then go to WDW, we all say it’s huuuuuge!! Lol. Walt constructed Sleeping Beauty Castle first with lots of permit problems, that’s why he made Cinderella Castle bigger, he dealt with permits first.

[@sonya7346]

I love your one liners Nick, 'Size isn't everything, sometimes' .😅 . Thank you for the birthday message too xx ❤

[@lauratinson3687]

Hi! I’m a recent subscriber. As a Disney fan I’m loving all the vlogs - you’re keeping me company while I work from home. Also bringing back memories from July last year when my husband and I were at Disneyland for our honeymoon 💞 Thank you for all the time and effort you put into filming and editing the videos - it really is appreciated! ☺️

[@ninipoo111]

Definitely 3-4 days to explore the parks and DTD and enjoy the food and drinks.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

We will definitely go back one day and spend longer there

[@tallactordude]

It took me a couple of days to get to this video because I’ve been so busy, and also because it was so long. But I can’t think of anything I would have wanted you to have left out. I do enjoy watching Nick on the rides because he is so clearly having a ball - he may be screaming, but he’s also grinning from ear to ear. 😁

[@carlettemsstanley600]

I knew you would love Disneyland! That was my 1st Disney experience and dear to my heart!

[@lndjn2]

Great vlog. As I said before I went with my late husband about 20 years ago and I don't remember a thing about it!!! Looks really nice though. I actually thought Nick was going to go on that ride without screaming - but he did. Looking forward to tomorrows vlog.

[@lindseydepp6519]

Pirates of the Caribbean ride is simply the best ride in Disneyland ever

[@stephencoutu2674]

Tpkyo Disneylands night time show on Main Street is exactly like this one at Disneyland.

[@steveb1086]

It's not often get to see an in depth comparison between Disneyland and WDW. It's good that you are trying alot and giving your honest views. The Spirit Jerseys are a nice touch from Ron 👍

[@phillowes5588]

Space mountain in WDW was the first ever indoor rollercoaster built and was built before the Disneyland version. Love the vlogs guys

[@beckypiel8795]

Burrito looks delicious! Lots of Mexican inspired foods in CA.

[@jacquelinekinnaird6994]

Out of all the Disneyland vlogs I’ve watched nobody has explained the photo pass! I didn’t realise you got it with max pass, that’s great. Were there many photographers around like in Florida? I’d thought you got the 3 day pass.

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Not here wasn't as many

[@juliegarner4357]

Another great vlog, Leigh and Nick you never disappoint with your vlogs they are brilliant, would love to try California one day it looks fab. Just out of interest are you looking forward to coming home after being away for so long, and looking forward to getting back to your lodge xx

[@debbie8184]

Fantastic vlog guys. Kudos Nick for going in the sub. You are both a delight to watch when your so happy and excited. I don’t know how you will both cope when your back at the lodge.

[@FROMKYLE2U]

Again - love this vlog too... you are getting most of it spot on but I love you view points ... I have been lucky enough to go to WDW and DL/CA many times.... where some things are very different(like the castles) there are so many things that are similar .... enjoy !!!

[@lindasharpe7248]

From what you thought of Disneyland in this video I think you'll love Disneyland Paris. Plus Paris has the best castle by far!

[@TheTRTurner]

Enjoyed you visiting Disneyland for the first time. Although was surprised when you missed some of the best parts of the park. When you walked past Indiana Jones and the Jungle Cruise I was smashed. Hope you got to come back and try those experience on another day. Cheers!

[@claref2302]

Pmsl !!! I’ve got to have Nicks screaming as my ring tone !!! Classic !!

[@xjenniex2007]

There used to be a submarine ride in magic kingdom I remember going on it as a kid.

[@shirleydunn8050]

I remember going on that & water was leaking in from the port holes.

[@patrigarcia4007]

Bates motel😂... the park looks amazing 😊

[@jessieloubamboo]

Space mountain in Disney World opened 2yrs before Disneylands version, so they learnt from their error.

[@lindseydepp6519]

Pirates of the Caribbean ride is simply the best ride ever I’ve been on it 8 times

[@lindseydepp6519]

Disneyland Anaheim is amazing

[@fionag9468]

Loving this vlog, we stayed in a hotel on the same street so it's bringing back loads of memories. Autopia is a nightmare, so stressed at that steering!!

[@adamwatkinson1984]

Just come back from Disneyland Paris and the similarities are crazy with small world being outside but Paris hyperspace is the best. Love the vlogs

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Can't wait to go to DLP this year

[@jasmindoran2389]

Space Mountain, when being created, was evolved from Disney’s Matterhorn Bobsleds, hence why it’s single form ☺️ (according to stuff I have seen online)

[@nickisimmons6755]

Loved ❤️ the length of the vlog ! Looks amazing , as always your humour cracks me up - 😊

[@louisewalker2309]

I can’t wait for your next video! A brill video xx

[@CastleBeckons]

Great video!!! Excellent overview of the park! I must admit I had a little panic just watching that Nemo ride (which used to be in WDW too as 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea). I may miss that one!

[@danabe3220]

When I was a kid the castle looked huge. Looks tiny now. Disney knew that and went big big in Disney World.

[@thecanuckcrew3197]

Love your Disneyland vids, great job. How does Disneyland compare to the other parks?

[@1st-Bkn0wledge]

MERCH IDEA: “Mooch on Main Street” or “Let’s have a mooch on Main Street”

[@TheLodgeGuys]

absolutely love this idea

[@julie627]

you guys really need to visit New Orleans it's soo beautiful and so full of history I know its not Disney but hearing your reactions on your vlogs about New Orleans yous really need to see the real thing its breathtakingly beautiful

[@daisy-adventures3642]

Is it just me or does Nick scream like Goofy. Makes me chuckle every time 🤣😂

[@mamalipster6923]

I'm not going on splash mountain, I don't want to get wet....little bit later. Were saturated on Pirates! lol Nick sounded like he was being tortured on Space Mountain. lol Loving the vlogs so far.

[@lindahamilton3055]

I like that resorts park lots of shops

[@benwhelan9453]

Hi guys, love the vlogs! what would you suggest doing in LA with only 2 nights there?

[@TheLodgeGuys]

Have you tried Disneyland ?

[@benwhelan9453]

We don’t know whether it’s best to do Disneyland or universal? We have 2 days and want to hike the Hollywood sign also. It’s not until November hopefully the world will be normal by then!

[@trishacrawford1872]

Looks lots like Disneyland Paris!

[@emmacronin1951]

i love that hoodie...ive been trying to get my hands on it from Ireland :D

[@littlemissrachie07]

I actually loved the comparisons to Disney World. I haven’t been to Disneyland since 2001 so I hardly remember it. Whereas I go to Disney World twice a year. So this helps me understand the similarities and differences. Right, this confirms I am booking a trip to Disneyland soon. Also, the last 2 trips to Disneyland we stayed at the same hotel you guys did! Thanks for this because I couldn’t remember the name of the hotel and neither could my parents. :)

[@MrJimmy527]

My Top 10 Questions for the Disney Afternoon Gang: 10. Do Darkwing Duck, Launchpad McQuack, Gosalyn Mallard and Honker Muddlefoot have magic hair? 9. Do the Rescue Rangers have magic hands? 8. Do all the Wave Swinger Beauties of the swing rides of beauties of the attractions of all the fairgrounds and amusement parks by Zierer from Germany in all the countries from around the world by Galleries of Beauties talk to Baloo, Louie, Kit Cloudkicker, Rebecca Cunningham, Wildcat and Molly Cunningham? 7. Were Cavin, Calla and the Gummi Bears poisoned? 6. Were Phil Palmfeather, Captain Klegghorn, Thrash, Mookie and the Mighty Ducks cursed? 5. Were Elisa Maza, Matt Bluestone, Griff, the Mutates and the Gargoyles kidnapped or enslaved? 4. If I had to assume Goofy Goof, Max Goof, Pete, PJ, Peg, Pistol, Timon and Pumbaa made a deal with a wicked underwater enchantress of the seven seas, did they know where she took their voices in exchange for their human forms? 3. Have Bonkers T. Bobcat, Detective Lucky Piquel, Miranda Wright, Sgt. Francis Q. Grating, Chief Leonard Kanifky, Fawn Deer, Jitters A. Dog, Dyl Piquel, Marilyn Piquel, Fall-Apart Rabbit, Tanya Trunk, Tuttle Turtle and Toots ever had true love's kiss? 2. Do Scrooge McDuck, Huey, Dewey and Louie Duck, Webby Vanderquack, Launchpad McQuack, Mrs. Beakley, Duckworth the Butler and Gyro Gearloose have Spanish issues? 1. Do all the people of Mexico City, Mexico assume the Disney Afternoon Gang's whole problems got solved because all the Wave Swinger Beauties of the swing rides of beauties of the attractions of all the fairgrounds and amusement parks by Zierer from Germany in all the countries from around the world by Galleries of Beauties showed up?

[@jennyorchard3321]

brilliant vlog guys, it looks amazing. Love Nick thinking his burger meal was smaller than Leigh's healthy lettuce dinner. you guys crack us up 💙😂💙

[@victoriaspencer3742]

You have no idea how long I laughed for when Nick said “I think it looks like a Wendy House on a garage roof” 😆 So hilarious!! The banter you exchange is priceless! Keep it coming guys and enjoy all your new experiences. When do you arrive back in the UK? xx 💙

[@alexmcghie4022]

Think it's this weekend 😎

[@lynnarro]

I sooo wish I had started watching yku guys while you were in the planning stages of this trip .... so many of the things you say were recommended to you made me scratch my head... othet things should have been recommended and werent... next time you come out here I want to help you plan lol... loving these vlogs

[@jasminec8185]

Anyone else notice the lack of safety check on space mountain 🙈😳 watch when leigh is filming from above, the 1st car is sent forward and mum has to tell the kid in the front row to pull his lap bar down 😅

[@TheLodgeGuys]

I think it moves from. the loader to the guy near the tunnel who then locks the bars down and in place

[@jasminec8185]

@@TheLodgeGuys ahhh I see! Thankgod🙈 did think that was strange for Disney 😅

[@NevasoftHQ]

I was thinking of buying Disney+ when it comes to the UK, but now there is no need when pretty much all these vlogs are Disney related 🥱

[@Vibesoftheworld49]

It was very brave to go into Nemo with some claustrofobia. My first experience with a panic attack was in Mission Space. Never knew I had that, now I am to scared to go into small spaces. It somehow triggered smth.

[@Tapout1987]

I loved the show. If they would of had fireworks mixed in, it would be amazing!!

[@ninipoo111]

I love the intimacy of Disneyland,

They are both sleeping beauty but Paris is better because it has the dragon underneath the castle

[@jaccroft]

You two are at your best when enjoying things together, especially Disney . Who new that 2 gay lovely guys would love it all ! 😍 . It's hilarious to know that although Nick is a bit cocky at times , he's also funny when he screams like a banshee around the rides . You can also see that he's like a Dairy Milk chocolate . Sometimes hard on the the outside but sweet and sweet soft on the inside , with the odd nut or two ! 🍬 Love ya both ! Keep it up , enjoy ya jollies 😎 and be kind to one another ❤️💋

[@rachelgennery8706]

If you like California you’ll like DLP as more similar than Florida xxx

[@ilsehunt6338]

Ha ha once when I was in LA we stayed at 3rd and highland at a days inn and the people in the room next door had a party at 0200 LAPD raided the room lol . It’s my fault we drove down from San Fran and arrived late so we saw 3rd and highland and I said to keith I’ve heard of this area so we stopped. In the morning I realised it was on lethal weapon . Rough as houses the area lol you’re staying in a palace lol have fun loving the vlogs x x
