Fantasyland in the 1950s - Disneyland! Then and now

[@TheDailyWoo]

Well done . Really enjoyed this . You are a game changer when it comes to presenting Disney history

[@chrisdisney8201]

You and him both! I wana see you guys make another funny vid in the parks lol :)

[@bdchiaccio]

TheDailyWoo Best bros ever!! Hopefully you guys will have a video in the not-too-distant future going to Toy Story Land cuz I don't want to go there until I've seen your videos

[@iamjjking]

Hey Justin, i Love when You put the Old style #Disneyland in with the New style #Disneyland, then You show the difference between the Times. Bringing back some of the old video's style. It is nice to see all the Memories. #ThumbsUp for the Video. #RandomlandAdventures #Q4P #FamilyFirst

[@myplasticbricks2239]

I was at Disneyland in 1956. I have been going many times per year since. No photos so, looking forward to more then and now videos. These videos really bring back memories. Thanks!

[@maryandrews4404]

Thanks, Justin for that great trip down memory lane. You brought it all back - best tuna sandwiches ever, 10 cent carousel ride, ticket booths, Skyway to Tomorrow Land. Your grandmother really captured more than just family history - great pictures!

[@shellybolt6167]

My family grew up 30 min from Disneyland I would love to find all their Disney photos from back in the day! My dad said his parents use to go in the 50s when Walt would be walking around the parks! Insane! Love to hear the Disney history and my family! My grandpa went behind the scenes of Disney when he sold frames and photos for Disneyland’s beginning of the grad nights!

[@RandysFiftySevenChevy]

Your GPs must of lived right down the street from me. I watched them build the park and was there when it opened. We never thought of it as a big deal when you went as many times as we did. So many memories of the place as a kid and I have some Disney memorabilia from back then too.

[@JeffCitron]

Is it just me or does Justin look like his Grandfather when he dresses like Dapper Dan lol so cool i love all things old it has such a special feel i am with you on this Justin

[@Yayojayoful]

Was thinking the same thing

[@teelasmith5227]

I had that exact same thought!

[@JeffCitron]

Gosh there right Your Grandpa dose look like Walt... Omg Destiny had popped you to Disney... I mean Brought you ..😉

[@karenleemallonee684]

This episode warms my heart! How blessed were you to be given these slides, Thank You, Auntie Tina!!! 💖 🌼

[@revolttt]

This video is the pinnacle of why I love your Disney videos. So good.

[@solamente]

Love the animated map and the passion for history.

[@beamin03]

Love old pics of disney im a fan of everything retro and remembering history thanks for sharing ypur family pics!

[@hiridavidfeign]

Fascinating. I totally understand your feelings about the older Disneyland. It will always be the place where history was made, and where Walt and his team worked out the plans from scratch. It's very cool that you have a family history to connect with that.Thanks Justin.

[@moirad3895]

Your grandpa looks like Walt Disney alittle 😄

[@rsr4099]

We lived in Cali from 63 to 76. I fondly remember our visits to Disney.

[@rubiebaker4107]

Love this video!! Man i can't count how many times I've wished I could go back in time to Disneyland. So cool you have those family photos there!

[@chrisdisney8201]

Awww, this is so sentimental! You're one lucky guy to have a Disney family history, my parents are the only ones who started our Disney trips in the 90s (which I'm thankful for of course) but it would've been super cool to compare pre-90s photos and videos to our modern ones!

[@DannyD714]

my earliest fantasyland memories are from around 1967,so i remember a lot of what you showed. eating at the pirate ship was a must do every time we went to disneyland. seeing the inside where you got your food took me back instantly. i remember they put little plastic swords in the sandwiches (a no no today) instead of toothpicks.

[@stevelewis7940]

Thank you for sharing your family photos! The history of Disneyland is what makes it so special. Photos bring the history to life!

[@TishRigo74]

Thanx for sharing your family at disneyland fun pics, wow has disneyland changed over the years!

[@SnohomishTitanoffroad]

I love when you do these videos on Disneyland the history and the commentary is priceless. Thank you

[@BB.halo_heir]

Great video!!!!! ❤❤ great pictures too, loved it. Thanks for all you do, Justin! Definitely a favorite video. So nostalgic for the old days lately, these videos help. ....and now we know what Justin will look like when he's a grandpa! Great old photos, you're so lucky to have them! 😊

[@eileentheequeen]

This is one of my favorite videos!!! Wow..you struck GOLD!!! I can't get over what a cutie your aunt was/is, oh my goodness! 👧💖 And your Grandpa looks like he could be a Disney bother (maybe the mustache)!

[@dolphinblue3138]

I want to see more of your Disneyland! Then and Now videos because I love learning about the past of Disneyland. This video was so awesome, I'm so glad you upload it :)

[@abovethefirehouse]

wow I was a young child back when I got to there in the late 70's and 1981 I got the tuna salad and I loved it and remember the large olive it came with.

[@usc8205]

Awesome work man! I’m a sucker for amusement park nostalgia! Very well done!!!

[@sandyfatland3141]

Awesome vlog! What a treasure to have great family fun pics. You walk in not only Walt's steps, but that of your grandparents as well. Very cool!

[@BrettJeffries]

The old Fantasyland seems like just yesterday for me. That "dead end" wall with the posters not only had pay phones on the left, but also a cigarette machine on the right, next to the snack bar. My dad got his cigarettes there, right in the shadow of Dumbo. I remember trying to figure out the "Ye Olde Bill of Fare" calculated "to the nearest mill" at the snack bars. The snack bars were strictly hamburgers, fries, chips and sodas. A bag of Fritos had the Disneyland logo, not only in the park, but also at the local grocery store at home. The second identical snack bar was located on the footprint of today's Mad Hatter. The old Mad Hatter was next to Peter Pan. People certainly complain of crowds today, but the crowding was horrific all day between Peter Pan and the carousel. Since the move of the carousel and the Mad Hatter, and the removal of the second snack bar, that area seems much better today.

[@GeoZero]

Oh wow. I've been to D-Land all my life since the 1970's and could have sworn the carousel, tea cups and Dumbo had changed then thought, "naw, it must be the Mandella effect", but you have finally revealed (solved) a problem I've thought about for years. Thanks!!

[@nursechrissymarie2865]

So awesome Justin!! Thank you for sharing not only Disney history but your family history too!!!

[@BrerOswald]

You look so much like your grandpa! Thanks for taking us to old Fantasyland. Just like you, I too am fascinated by the bygone eras of the Disney parks.

[@barbaram8470]

Nice video Justin ! My hubby and I love watching your blogs. I loved seeing the old pictures your family had of Disneyland . I grow up hearing stories of my mom and grandma's road trip from Michigan to calf when she was a kid in the late 50's. I hope to be able to make it to Disneyland myself some day. 😀 Thanks for sharing ! Hope you guys have a great day !

[@Corgis175]

Pretty neat. My first trip to Disneyland was in 1967.

[@jamessbca]

Your passion is apparent - that IS super cool being able to see your grandparents' photos. I was a kid when Fantasyland was closed on a visit or two due to reconstruction (in elementary school). I remember my Disneyland map with Fantasyland showing a Mickey Mouse with a toolbelt, with the map saying "New Fantasyland, coming in 1983". I dug the Chicken Of the Sea Ship photos. As a teenager, I'd find myself wondering where the boat was, wondering if I'd imagined it. This was great! (in my memory / pieced together imagination, it was located between the castle and the current rocket location - this cleared it up!).

[@christinakopcsos6831]

Love the old school photos!! Such a great video! I love looking at old pics and comparing them to how it is now. Thanks for sharing

[@frankthomas1423]

Although I wasnt near born yet in the 50s you just seriously took me back to being there in the park that day.....amazing work Justin

[@LenVinci]

Nice to see my Mom’s pic in front of Monstro on KZbin again. She passed away in April and that’s one of my most treasured photos. She’d get a kick outta being on Randomland. Thanks.

[@jeniel93]

I really enjoyed this episode. Love seeing what beloved places looked like nearly 60 years ago.

[@tombuck]

Wow, Disneyland history is so fascinating! Thanks for sharing these, I love to try and recreate old photos of the park. 👍 One day you’ll be able to recreate old school shots from these videos 🤯

[@DCPTips]

It's crazy watching all your videos of Disneyland and seeing the difference since I've last been there in 2005...much less 1950s! Keep up the amazing video work Justin!!

[@edgarh252]

Why haven't you gone?

[@dovegrey1]

Wow! I just love vintage Disneyland photos! Can't wait to see more. When we were kids, we couldn't wait to go on the Chicken of the Sea pirate ship---don't think we ate there much (too much tuna), but we loved playing on it. I'm so glad to have memories of the way it was pre-1983. :D

[@Lograys_Grotto]

This is one of your best videos ever, thank you for sharing your family history!

[@svandewalker1]

This video is amazing! We love when you do these historical videos. You def. see the family resemblance between you and your grandpa!

[@jimkoval8546]

Wow! Very cool that you found these early family photo's. I have nothing left like those, our house burned down when I was in my teens and we lost all that kind of stuff. Keep up the great work.

[@EverydayDisneyMagic]

Love when you do these! Never knew the carousel and teacups moved! Awesome you have a picture of Grandpa Scarred on the Pirate Ship! Don't see them moving Monstro anytime soon...seems like a whale of a guy! Flapping Dumbo ears sounds awesome!! Hook is definitely getting better with age! The Goose acted like the joke was old...well Goose, I thought it was funny!

[@taniabird4829]

This video is one of my favorites now! I love the history and you are very talented at putting together quality videos and love all the details you point out. My family loves watching your videos and look forward to them. Thanks for doing what you do!

[@bethgood3214]

Fantastic job! Loved the map, I always tried to visualize where everything used to be & now I have a clear picture in my head. Thanks for this, great job!

[@mousestreetdvc]

Love the Disney History Justin Scarred! Our family has WDW pics from 1974 and I'm always fascinated trying to figure out the locations! Glad to know I'm not the only one who does this!

[@garretvaughn7936]

Justin, you are a man born in the wrong time. I really enjoy seeing you discover the Disneyland of my childhood. Thanks for the great memories!

[@iowndvc]

Wow, great memories of my childhood . And the tuna burgers at the pirate ship restaurant were really great!

[@samborthwick]

What an amazing vid! I LOVE seeing the old photos and the comparative angles today!

[@sherylAA]

do more of the old pictures it was fun to watch and i loved seeing how much it has changed over the years :)

[@aJollymanProduction]

This is one of your most enjoyable Disneyland videos.

[@cyraconforth9989]

This is awesome! I love vintage Disneyland. And I’m excited for your road trip too.

[@garypesci746]

An enormous THANKS A MILLION for sharing those great nostalgic pictures. This really hits home with me, since I grew up in SoCal and went to Disneyland regularly starting in 1959 when I was five, and remember that it was a lot different than it is now. The "tuna boat" as my sister and I used to call the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship restaurant really brings back memories, since we ate there every time we went to Disneyland. I recently watched a youtube video that featured some of the old Disneyland restaurants that are now gone, and the tuna boat was shown being totally demolished, very depressing to see. Your pictures of the pirate ship in its heyday absolutely made up for that. I have seen and enjoyed a lot of your videos and this tops them all. Also, it was interesting to see that your aunt looks like she might be my age. (I assume that your mother wasn't born yet when those pictures were taken.)

[@brianonthego]

Keep doing what you do freind. Tank God for Grandmas to pass on those old stories.

[@honeyandthebee245]

That was really amazing...and it was great seeing your little woman again.

[@joels9189]

1 million👍 thanks for showing the vintage pics!

[@paultowarnicki5359]

Great video! Loved seeing the old slides. The 1950s Jingle horse looks like it was themed for the 60th Anniversary of Disneyland.

[@momtoo]

Justin, thank you. You said out loud my very own feelings of why Disneyland is home for me. I was raised less than a mile from Disneyland and my brother’s first Disneyland was on the Chicken of the Sea Pirate Ship prior to becoming a Jungle Cruise Skipper. All the rest of my orange groved Anaheim is different but Uncle Walt’s Park holds the magical spell of Home for me. I retired July 2017 and bought my first ANNUAL PASS! I drive or find cheap,fights to spend a week every couple months at Disneyland. You are the best at capturing and explaining the magic that is our Home. Thank you. Let’s support Randomland by supporting Justin Scarred on his Patreon site. Just a buck or two from us, the folks who enjoy and thrive on his WORK will insure he can make more Randomland Adventures🤙🏻💕😎

[@jasonleman1396]

thanks for this very cool video. my grandparents took silent movies from the late 60s to the early 80s it is always fun to go back and watch (we lived in the area and were able to go 2 times a year)

[@gillesdv]

Wow! What a great ‘time travel’! Thanks for sharing Justin!

[@MUSEMENT]

[@brandonfisher639]

I just love, love, love your "now and then's!!!!!"

[@redheadlady41]

That is so neat how you found those slides! I remember when I was probably about 1 or 2 years old when Disneyland opened and my brother and my sister were with me then I've got pictures in my scrapbook of them

[@gerardkopiec5582]

Always love your videos(brings joy and puts a smile on my face) Justin GREAT JOB!!! GOD Bless you and your family!!

[@mianta55]

This is really cool Justin. I do remember the original park as well as when it was updated in 1983. You really look like your granddad. Two handsome guys!!

[@Spectre-1]

Terrific video. One of my favorites. Really looking forward to seeing the rest of the slides.

[@iluvringo7]

I really love your videos a lot Justin! Keep on keepin on!! Keep on truckin!!!

[@matthewguerra7186]

I really enjoyed the video Justin and the historical perspective you presented.

[@16050390]

My mom grew up near Disneyland also the same time your aunt did, I'll try to dig up some pictures and videos

[@patf.3776]

Boy, do you ever look like your Grandpa. Loved seeing the old photos.

[@BillLund]

What a treat to see these old photos. I think I might be about the same age as your aunt. I remember all of the attractions you highlighted.

[@markcampbell8460]

Fantastic! One of your top 10 vids, for sure.
