Girls Day at Disneyland!

[@the_benjamin_effect]

Great video, voice, narration, videography, editing and music.

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you my friend - coming from you, that's high praise indeed!

[@aces7515]

You did a wonderful job! Your voice is so calm, you explain Disneyland with such detail of the history of Walt’s vision. You’re not retiring, just moving on to other opportunities! You two are awesome, thank you!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you so much - honestly, Dale and I were so proud of how well this turned out, and we are so glad you are all enjoying it. 🥰

[@maryparsons8630]

Excellent video. My family took me to Disneyland shortly after it opened in 1956 and I can’t even count the times I’ve been back. My kids are are all Disneyland enthusiasts as well. A truly magical place!

[@paulamckenzie]

I agree, Mary - and aren't you lucky to have grown up with it, and that your kids have also experienced the magic? We all need more fantasy in our lives, don't we - and Disneyland delivers. Thanks for watching! 🥰

[@805NAVE]

I don’t even care for Disney land all that much but wow, this video was so well done and brought back MANY childhood memories there. Went there a great handful of times growing up with my mom, but I always wanted her to take me to LAS Vegas instead 😂

[@karenc9886]

👍👍

[@angiedillman6251]

The first time I went to Disneyland was in 2017. 2017 was a rough year my husband had left after twenty years of marriage. I went with my son and his family. It was the first time in months that I had not thought about my situation and just had a fun day with my family. It was truly, truly magical. I went back in 2018 and I was a little nervous that it wasn't going to be the same that the magic would be gone. But it was just another magical day at Disneyland!!! Sending love from Illinois ❤️

[@lindamemo5224]

I sure hope you’ve found happiness again and Disneyland will always be there to bring you some joy. ❤️

[@paulamckenzie]

Hi Angie - thank you so much for sharing this story, I am truly touched by it! You're confirming yet again how magical it is to step under that archway, leave your cares behind, and spend a day in a fairyland. I'm really glad to know that the magic remained, because I sure do not want to stay away this time. 🥰 And I echo Linda's comment - I sincerely hope you've found some peace and happiness in the years since.

[@angiedillman6251]

Thanks ladies! I have! I am dating a wonderful man now who makes me feel so loved!!! ❤️

[@shivonnerosas1694]

Great episode 🎉 love Disneyland! The episodes Keeps getting better and better! Can’t wait till the next one! 🥰🥰🥰

[@paulamckenzie]

Aww thank you Shivonne - what a lovely compliment! 🥰

[@elainegottwald2878]

What a wonderful memory for your granddaughter.

[@paulamckenzie]

I hope that someday a few years from now she watches the video, and maybe remembers a little bit of it! 🥰

[@amandadodgson2444]

What a lovely informative vlog, full of gems. Beautiful narration your voice is so calming. Nice to see little one toddling around, it only gets better. The first time we went to Disney World and America we felt the very same emotions, it was all breathtaking and wonderful and still is, but you never forget the first time and it's nice to return and still get what we call the 'Disney Feels'. You only know when you know. Enjoy your retirement, see you in the kitchen next one.....

[@paulamckenzie]

Hey Amanda, thanks for the nice compliments...and you are so right, that first visit to a Disney park is the memory that sticks! 🥰

[@pamkern94]

Making new family memories ... so special ! I enjoyed every minute of your "tour" !! Looking forward to future post on your new channel Paula !!! God's blessings to you & your beautiful family always !!!!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you so much, what a lovely note! You're right, I feel very blessed, especially for that wonderful baby girl! 🥰

[@markkennedy8234]

Love how you used Dale's line at the end🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@paulamckenzie]

LOL how could I resist? 🤣

[@Neil_S.]

Paula your voice /narration throughout this entire episode was "enchanting"

[@paulamckenzie]

Aww that is SUCH a nice thing to say...thank you! 🥰

[@jeffreycharles5035]

That was great! That cant be easy to fit a day at Disneyland into 20 minutes but you did it!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you so much - I did want to do it justice, for the parts of the park that I visited that whirlwind day!

[@kathiestonaker3717]

Well Miss Paula, Walt would be so proud of you. You made it feel like the first time even though I’ve been many times. I’ll be 70 in June, so may have to go again. It’s been a few years. Love your family!!!!🥰 thank you so much.

[@paulamckenzie]

Wow Kathie, that is SUCH a wonderful compliment, thank you!! 🥰

[@tammygardiner8224]

We are so happy we came across your videos a year ago. Watching them always makes us smile. Thank you for bringing us along on another magical adventure. You are such a lovely couple. ❤️ from Canada

[@paulamckenzie]

We are even happier than you are, that you discovered our little channel!! Thank you so much for tuning in, and for your lovely compliments. 🥰

[@marydriskell2106]

What a great day for you, your daughter in law and grandchild!! You will never forget this trip. We went to Disney world when son was 12, many years ago, we had more fun than he did lol. It’s absolutely magical, just like being in a fairytale! ❤️

[@paulamckenzie]

Well said, yes!! It's like stepping into a fairy tale, exactly! You're right, I will never forget that day - even if we do go back in future years, this was the first girls trip, and it'll always be special.

[@clarissaflores3102]

Loved it! Beautiful way to be a princess with your family princess.

[@paulamckenzie]

Aww that's exactly what it felt like! 🥰

[@pegedt]

Paula, outstanding! Thank you, Dale, for the great editing! How big she is getting. I am sure you girls had a blast! Looking forward to seeing what you will be making next week in Paula's Kitchen and More!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank YOU for the lovely compliments! We DID have a blast, and yes, our girl is nearly two, and she has just spread fairy dust all over our lives, that's for sure! 🥰

[@citibear57]

What a wonderful video! Paula, you have a beautiful voice for narration - such as in this gem. Disneyland and Disneyworld truly are magical, and I think that it has created special, lifelong memories for all that have visited. I am fortunate to have visited both parks as a twenty-something year old with my parents and my oldest brother. My brother and I made it a point to go on every ride no matter how silly it may have looked. We knew those two visits would probably be our only chance to do so. Great memories, made for a lifetime! Your new channel is off to a great start. Congratulations, and thank you! 😊

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you for the lovely compliment - and for sharing your own Disney memories with me. I love that! 🥰 You are so right, you probably couldn't manage to get on all the rides these days, with lines so long, so be glad you did it when you could!

[@gmajoanne5692]

What a magical day and memory for you! Congrats on your retirement and also your new channel! ❤❤

[@paulamckenzie]

Thank you so much - lots of changes and new challenges over here, but I'm ready for whatever comes next! 🥰

[@cakienudge]

That was fun. You did a good job with a little person along! I remember being the coolest kid in first grade. My parents took me to Disneyland from NJ (Dad travelled for business.) That was 1965. Things changed, but some are still there and in your video. Thank you.

[@paulamckenzie]

Wow! I literally never ever went to Disneyland until that visit in 2006 - and I was wayyy old by then lol! Lucky you - and you deserved the cool kid status for that privilege!

[@cakienudge]

@@paulamckenzie Mom tricked and I into going to France in 1989. He was going to Zurich to speak and said we could go to one other country. She swore she saw Disney opened a park near Paris. We agreed. Hah. She saw the groundbreaking. Too late. We went to Paris. Which was not Dad's pick.

[@yvonnedee1122]

Aww what a sweet day! 😊I’ve never seen a Disney cat & grew up visiting often since its in the area. Thanks!

[@NeilMacedo]

The first time I went to Disneyland was in 2018, I thoroughly enjoyed it, and it was a magical time.

[@paulamckenzie]

I'm glad you got to go, Neil - living halfway across the world!

[@NeilMacedo]

@@paulamckenzie thank you 😊. I’ll be visiting the Tokyo Disney in October, it’ll be fun. I want to visit all the Disneylands around the world.

[@teresahriljac6931]

Fantastic Paula. Thank you for taking us along on your girls trip. We were lucky enough to go to Disneyland with our granddaughter in 2018 on our trip from Australia. It’s so special to make these happy memories for our grandkids.

[@paulamckenzie]

Oh wow, Teresa, I am SO glad you got to do that when you were here! You're right, the memories for the grandkids, AND for you - something magical that you shared. 🥰

[@erinYYC]

Paula!!!!!!!!! 👏 this was so good!!!! So so so so so good! You somehow captured the feeling of Main street and Disneyland, in your video so perfectly! It felt like we were there with you! As a Disney adult, who can’t get enough of Disney and Disneyland, you so elegantly told the story and captured the magic!

[@paulamckenzie]

Oh Erin, this means so much - thank you for this kind compliment! I didn't want to get things wrong, I didn't want to compete with all the Disney vloggers who do that content day in and day out...but I wanted to apply our LVIO storytelling style to this subject. I'm glad I succeeded. 🥰

[@hannahpotter6720]

Thank you my friend! I had a wonderful day!

[@melissajensen3166]

Great video Paula. It’s so different seeing you do a DL tour. I loved it. I follow other vloggers that do theme parks. Your video was so refreshing and factual about things. I love the idea of making this a Girls Ritual. I hope Mikey loved it. That’s the main thing. See ya next week!

[@paulamckenzie]

Hey Melissa - it was different, it felt different, but with this new Paula's Kitchen and More channel, I feel like I can step out and do unusual topics (I hope!). And yes, all three of us had a GREAT day!! 🥰

Disneyland never gets old. Great video!

[@paulamckenzie]

I agree - and if you've never been, or haven't been for 17 years, or go every week...it's still always magic.

[@randidavidson1950]

What a heartwarming story at the end. Such a great video Paula!

[@paulamckenzie]

Yes, I think Disney parks mean something special to a lot of people, and our little story sure brings up nostalgia and a few tears on our part!

We ALL need some magic these days - save your pennies and plan to check Disneyland (or Disney World) off your bucket list!

[@merrylarsen1451]

I’ve never been to Disneyland but living in Florida and having worked for Disney World for over 10 years needless to say I’ve been in the park many, many times. Enjoyed your visit to Disneyland!

[@paulamckenzie]

Yep, if you've spent ten years as a cast member, you surely know all the ins and outs of the Magic, don't you Merry? 😉

[@busterbud]

Thanks for the Disneyland tour, as I've not been there since I was kid, which seems a lifetime ago. Paula, it's probably just as well you didn't go through "It's a Small World" because the theme song would still be rattling around in your brain. In fact, just typing that last sentence has unleashed that earworm on me!😂

[@paulamckenzie]

LOL you are SO right about that tune!! But honestly, my heart wasn't set on riding any particular ride, so I was more than satisfied with how my day ended up.

[@frontiertina]

What a fantastic field trip! I felt like I was right there along with you guys. Paula, you did an amazing job explaining all the Disneyland history and attractions ❤️! I am so glad you got to spend a wonderful day with your girls! Hello to Mr. Dale 🤠👋… I love the 2006 story 🥰! Great job, Paula…I enjoyed this so much! Keep up the great work!! 👍👍👍

Great Video! My family went there in 1957 when I was a year old so I don't remember that. But we went again in 1976 and 1977 and last time was early 90s. Great memories. Thank you Paula!♥️

What a great video, thanks for sharing it. I’d be so curious about the Disneyland Hotels, I guess they’re still there. I’m not sure if I could join some of those long lines either.

[@paulamckenzie]

Yes definitely the hotels are still there! Because our kids live in the LA area, we just drove there. But, I’d love to have the full experience someday, stay on property. 😊

I was last at Disneyland in August. It was so much, dare as I better as an adult. I really liked Galaxy Edge even as a person not familiar to Star Wars. I loved the blue milk. I’m going back in April and can’t wait. Looked like a great day Paula.

[@paulamckenzie]

Yes, I agree, seeing it through adult eyes, the magic is all the more potent, I think. We truly can leave our troubles outside the gates, step into a fairyland, and stay all day...what a great thing that is!

[@paulamckenzie]

Thanks very much for the correction. We had just arrived and were getting ourselves settled - that was the first building we went into, and I wasn't sure looking at the park map afterwards.

[@annetteharvey4299]

Breaks my heart so many attractions had to long of wait times. Walt would be disappointed in how money grabbing its gotten.

[@paulamckenzie]

Well we had to base our itinerary on what our almost-two-year-old could tolerate - and enjoy. We weren't there to catch all the rides, but rather to make memories...which we did. 😊

Tell Dale to watch 60 minutes. It’s about social media ignoring problems and not monitoring problems. I’m sorry about the trolls this weekend. 🥲
