If you watch the original presentation with the song "Two Brothers" look at the train station when the coffin is delivered and you'll see the building that is at the train station near New Orleans Square in Disneyland. And thank you for confirming what I have known for at least 40 years that Royal Dano was the voice of Abraham Lincoln. He once played a Civil War veteran who had received a head wound during the war and believed himself to be Abraham Lincoln on an episode of "The Rifleman."

I had a sleepless night and watched all these in order. It brought back so many happy memories and let me forget my troubles for a while. Being a child of the 60s I had the great fortune to grow up with Disneyland and watch the progression of AAs develop as each subsequent family vacation brought new wonders with each and every visit. You have managed to capture that wonder here and I thank you. I can't wait to share these with my older Brothers and Sisters.

This is the aim of every single episode of The Disneyland Chronicles. I envy your wonderous true-life experiences within Walt's park, and even more so I am privileged to see you've found that wonder within this series. Thanks for watching and for your encouraging words. I do hope your troubles are soon behind you.

Always glad to see anyone who loves and preserves Walt history.

[@HappyPlaceExplorers]

Thanks and Thanks for watching!

[@jennyupdike]

Once again great job. Thank you for all the hard work you put into each of these episodes.

This should be an extra on any Blu-Ray of Great Moments With Mr. Lincoln, if one is ever produced. I particularly enjoyed your inclusion of the "Twilight Zone" episode at 15:20 among the Lincoln portrayals. If there was ever a true epitaph to Walt Disney's career, it isn't Mary Poppins; it is Great Moments. If there were ever true bookends to Walt Disney's life, Abraham Lincoln provided them.

I really enjoy the historical videos. Great job!

[@merrickhale6630]

I have loved the history presented in this series thus far. This video of an arguably much overlooked attraction of Disneyland earned my sub. Fantastic work. Thank you for bringing this part of Disneyland History to the public's attention!

[@HappyPlaceExplorers]

It's one of the most influential attractions in Disney history, for sure. It's crazy how many folks just walk right on by, Thank for watching!

[@Elmerstudd007]

Once again, I'm overwhelmed with how impressive this was, and I can confidently say that Mr Disney himself would be proud of this, in both an homage to Abraham Lincoln and himself.

[@HappyPlaceExplorers]

Thank you for the kind words! We really appreciate every time you watch and comment on the videos! Your enjoyment means a lot! :) Thanks for watching!

[@vikingshelm]

[@TheOnlyJohnAbraham]

Such a fantastic series! Would love to see more!

[@HappyPlaceExplorers]

These were definitely fun to produce. The Disneyland Chronicles were all made before I moved to Orlando and could do more on location projects in the Parks, so these kinda became second to all my in park ideas. But there's a lot more to cover for Disneyland history and I'm hoping to keep the series going in the future! Thanks for watching all the way through!!!

[@TheOnlyJohnAbraham]

@@HappyPlaceExplorers I especially love learning about the past attractions, many of which I had no previous knowledge of, like the Mine Train. So many cool attractions in the past!

[@kathrynrmokrynski773]

Do you have a list of sources you used for this video? I'm working on my thesis and would love to use some of the information but have been having trouble finding the sources online.

[@jkocher6973]

Very nicely done. I first saw 'Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln' in 1969. One of the aspects of the presentation that was really creative started in the pre-show. The announcement is made: 'Here is own words is what he once said about himself.' We then hear Royal Dano as the voice of President Lincoln. So that, by they time the curtains part and we see the Animatronic version of Mr. Lincoln, and he speaks, we're already used to hearing his voice. It's his voice!

my favorite president is abe

[@edvaira6891]

Jordan, do you actually do all of the production on these videos yourself or are these a collaboration with Joey and Michelle? These are remarkable!

[@HappyPlaceExplorers]

The Disneyland Chronicles are absolutely, 100%, Jordan's creation and hard work. I am constantly impressed at how good incredible they each turn out and how he keeps managing to get them out as fast as he does! - Explorer Joey
