The thing that really sets Molly apart is her expertise, but yet she comes across as a friend rather than a tour guide. I often wonder how many hours she spends behind the scenes studying for these videos. Awesome work as always Molly! 🌹

[@meeshicus]

I know. They never feel scripted or forced. Just like hey fun fact….for a million facts

[@Mammoth_Club]

We do love fun facts.

Amazing to see this channel already nearing 100K subs!! My wife and I met Molly and Alan in Epcot when they were filming their second Food & Wine video and they were so gracious and friendly. They deserve this success. Go Mammoth Club!!

[@kristygrossman9659]

So funny! My husband said that he hopes we run into them so we can take a picture with Molly! Like what about taking a picture with Mickey???? Hahahaha

I never realized how much of a Molly fan I am until followed her over here and haven’t missed a single video since day one. ❤️

[@disneynutd1609]

Molly how do you remember all the little details and facts about all the parks? You must’ve aced all your school tests with that memory. 🤣. Thanks for making Sunday mornings so enjoyable

[@jessicalyn84]

What I love about Molly’s videos are that not only are they entertaining, but I learn sooo much about whatever park she is at. I never knew I needed to know about the different plants from different continents.. but here we are. She has such a massive amount of knowledge and we are so lucky that she is sharing it with us!

[@MicheleKlinger]

Molly’s knowledge will never cease to amaze me. Idk how she can always teach us something new, but I am always here for it and love it so much.

[@taylor-tot3877]

Molly deserves all the love she’s receiving. She works so hard and gives us so much knowledge.

[@merunamakesasmr8535]

It’s so nice hearing Molly say “Hey Everybody it’s Molly from Mammoth Club”. So nice to see you being your own boss lady, doing your own boss things!

[@adventureswithjoyceandmatt]

So I love all the new variety of content from @mammothclub, BUT these types of videos are where Molly really shines. They are simply fantastic. The vibe is educational while still helping people navigate the parks (and I love me some fun facts about the parks!) There truly is NO other vlogger who provides this level of content.

[@josephinealbert6343]

“There’s a Denny’s right next door.” 🤣🤣 Love all the fun facts and the history you bring to your videos.

[@wheeltrish]

You know what I wish? I’m in a wheelchair and there are very few “rides” I can do in AK. I wish they would create an alternate experience of rides like Flight of Passage where I could go in some sort of virtual reality booth in my wheelchair and experience the visuals of the ride without actually having to ride it. Same thing with Soarin’ or other attractions that rely heavily on video as part of the experience. I love the restaurant in the Avatar land (those bowls are the bomb) but other than that, I feel like the only things I can do in that section of the park are walk around and spend money on stuff I don’t need. Come on, Disney… I spend money to get in your parks just like everyone else. I should be able to experience more of it than I currently can.

[@percythemighty]

Absolutely agree. Animal Kingdom is definitely the least accessible park. This is the case even for people who are not in wheelchairs, but even for people with certain medical conditions. Just as an anecdote, I visited while pregnant and spent the entire day sitting on benches while my husband and daughter went on rides because there was nothing “safe” for me to do (this was pre-Pandora). Still paid full price for my ticket, though! I am not comparing this to your experience, of course, but just using it to illustrate the deficiencies. Would love to see Disney spend more energy making attractions that are safe for EVERYONE. There are plenty of theme parks that are prohibitive out there, the entire idea behind Disney was an experience that the whole family could enjoy together… it would be really awesome if the executives making decisions could actually remember that.

[@iknowhowshedoesit1985]

I’m a Disney vet but haven’t been back since the pandemic - Thank you Molly for sharing all your knowledge (especially genie+) and getting ready to take my kiddos in January!

[@rosieregamansilla6600]

Obsessed w/ new channel. Even as a Disney vet Floridian who's been going 2 the parks since b4 I can even remember I get so many amazing amazing tips & tricks from Molly. Could not be happier for Molly & Mammoth success 🥰🥳

[@greggseiter1412]

Molly, love the background stories behind the Disney attractions. That’s a plus over other amusement and theme parks. You’re an excellent Disney historian. Thanks for your input.

[@kaitlynkrna626]

I do love starting my Sunday mornings with Mammoth Club! Very excited to find out these secrets in preparation for my trip next week!

[@ellieplanit]

In addition to being knowledgeable and professional and friendly and hilarious and approachable…Molly’s look is always ON POINT! the hair, the outfit, the sunglasses, the ears, the jewelry, the lipstick, the nails ✨chef’s kiss✨

[@meganjohnson215]

Molly, very grateful for your videos. In a cloudy world, you bring some serious sunshine, girl🤗☀️ Always planning my family’s next Disney trip and when I’m faced with decision-making dilemmas, I ask myself, “what would Molly do?” 🤭🙌🏼

[@emilyc7458]

I absolutely love all of Molly’s fun facts! I was able to share so many with my family on our last trip and felt like a pro 😎

[@stephenblasiak6862]

Molly goes for cheeseburger pods, our 10 year old “let me guess, she’s getting a coffee too”. How to know the family has been watching Molly for a while…. And that same 10 year old loves avatar!

Super happy to see you, Molly! You’re my favorite Disney vlogger - your happiness is so infectious and I love seeing Disney through your eyes ❤️

[@muttshouse]

LOVE this video. It's like a personal behind the scenes tour. We did a key to the kingdom tour once a LONG time ago and Molly's tour is right up there!

[@hilarys4889]

Leaving for our trip on Tuesday, nothing sets the packing mood better than a Molly video!

[@queenoasis]

Used Genie + for the first time at Animal Kingdom this past summer and it was the best experience. Barely any wait times and we hopped on every ride and attraction so fast and easy. We did Kilimanjaro Safari first thing in the morning and we saw so many animals...always try to do this ride in the morning because as Molly said, it's when the animals are most active.

[@mimi_meems]

So happy to wake up this morning to a Molly video, and the “secrets” ones are my favorite! Hopefully there are plans to do all the parks! 😊💜🧡💙

[@katydymock8554]

Hi Molly! Love your new channel! You have recommended many times that the best way to ride the fancy rides if you don't want to purchase them is to rope drop or ride right before close. I'd love to see you do some science & actually compare the wait times of rope dropping the fancy rides at each park as a non-resort guest vs the wait times of riding right before park close. Even do some of the really popular genie + rides such as Slinky Dog Dash. Keep up the awesome work Mammoth Club!

[@jaylin3331]

Happy Sunday! Such a good day when we start w a Molly video! Also I just saw your post about Halloween horror nights and I wanted to say: 1. Congratulations mammoth club! Representing your OWN company at a huge event like that! And 2. I can’t wait for that video & for all the videos you all are making! Y’all have an extremely loyal fan base and we love you guys so much!!

Everyone knows what AK needs is a fully immersive TaleSpin Land including a King Louie bar and Baloo, Kit, and Becky meet and greet. Let’s make it happen, Disney.

I am constantly amazed at how Molly remembers all these Disney facts and figures ! I can barely remember what I had for breakfast... Another great job Molly - Thank you !!!!!!!!!!!

[@joannestrefford2427]

I absolutely love learning and knowing all about the hidden details in this park, and thoroughly enjoyed pointing many of them out to my children, who were very impressed with me! Thank you Molly for being so awesome and giving me inside info to impress my kids with 💖💖💖 xxx

[@chrisdebenedetto192]

The editing with the "Molly behind the scenes commentary" is amazing!

[@michaelbunch8912]

Love your new channel!! Thank you for investing so much of yourself in this new platform. Given your vast knowledge and love for all things Disney, I would love to see a "Legends of Disney" series. Starting with non other than Joe Rohde, that could include his background and his connection to Disney. Follow his career and contribution to the various parks and specific attractions.Each month (or more often) feature another "legend" that could include each of the Nine Old Men. Mary Blair is another legendary iconic figure. So many amazing people to choose from!! Another series could be a brief segment (maybe 10-15 minutes) featuring information on Walt Disney himself. He has given the world so much and was definitely a man ahead of his time and sadly gone too soon. Just some thoughts and ideas that came to mind. Thank you so much for everything you do to inform, educate and help make the Disney experience a positive one. Have a blessed day.

[@whotakesallmynames]

Congratulations you guys on all y'all's success! Molly, how does it feel to literally never have to review a water attraction again? 😆❤️

[@JenThePirate]

This might be my favorite video you’ve ever done. I love details and back stories. And I appreciate it’s not the same coverage that everyone else already has. If that makes sense.

[@shaunbeecham8522]

You’re so dope Molly! Your vast knowledge and rich Disney history proves even more how authentic you are about your love for Disney. We love and appreciate you chick. Almost 100k! Let’s go Mammoth Club!

[@zacharyfriess9575]

I’ve ridden Everest many time both with and without the working Yeti and people make much too big of a deal about the lack of movement. The interaction with the animatronic is literally 2 seconds. Not having it move does not take away from the attraction in any meaningful way. It really seems like people want excuses to be upset.

[@RistrettoReader]

I knew barely ANY of this, I’m super impressed that one of these Disney “secrets” videos is actually secret (to me) info! Thank you Molly! I hope you do this for the other parks!

[@livella123]

My favorite park! I’ll be there in 7 days! Thanks Molly for putting so much care and time into what you do! Your love for it shows! 🥰

[@ParleyMedia603]

Hey Molly, fun fact, the Deinonychus skull they have there is the actual Raptor species that Jurassic park's Velociraptor was visually based on. Being much larger than the Velociraptor, they thought it was a better dinosaur to go with, but they preferred the sound of the name Velociraptor. So they called the Deinonychuses, Velociraptors. So that's another fun call-out to Universal.

[@TorpedoBryan13]

Love these hour long videos! Honestly i just play the video as a background noise while i clean my house lol great to see Molly and gang with their own company!

She is the BEST and I wouldn't watch anyone else! She is such a fountain of information and NEVER boring. You can see her eyes roll even with sunglasses! I love her enthusiasm and dry wit. Alan is pretty funny as well. Just a great duo and fun to watch.

I’m so proud of you guys for being brave and going out on your own. It’s super awesome to see and I couldn’t be happier for you. Love watching! Hoping to get more Disneyland stuff too since Max is west coast right? ❤️

[@denisematthews6215]

Hey, Molly! The facts and history on this video are , as always, fascinating! Love this channel and what you, Alan and Max bring to it! If you all ever do resort videos, one I’m very curious about is Fort Wilderness! Is there still a campground? What is allowed in terms of RV/campers? No one seems to talk about that. The cabins are fantastic; but it seems there also was (is?) a campground. Thank you for all you do, and for being you!

[@cheryls.4491]

Absolutely loved this vlog! Molly is so informative and really makes you appreciate all the little details in the parks.

I love watching your videos, your tips and tricks always come me in handy! Your naming conventions for the “Fancy” rides and “Fiddle Faddling” are terms that I have adopted. We were hoping to catch you in the park while we were here this week but that didn’t happen, hopefully we will have better luck in December! Congratulations on starting your own company, we wish you much success!

[@melissaslater2575]

I am late to the Molly club as I had not watched the content of the prior company you were with. However I had seen many comments made over the years by people mentioning you as one of their favorites. I have only been watching since you started your own brand. I know you already have a huge fan base who will follow you - but I am sure you will have a lot of new subscribers like myself. Great content and a wonderful presentation. As a Disney passholder for over 30 years (going to the parks for 41) you are still able to teach me new things. I totally get why you have been such a favorite! I very much enjoy and look forward to your new content.

I love the long vids! Molly has taught me so many cool things in this video. I've been going to the parks since I was little so naturally I do know a lot of fun little facts about the parks but wow! I learned a lot today 🤣

Love how they build such a detailed back story for everything and very few people even know it. I was there last week and did my AK reservation day then hopped back in on another day just to watch FoTLK and Nemo a second time. I pulled a Molly and cried at FoTLK when the tumble monkeys came out. It was the first time I had seen the show since they were back.

[@rickvbeck1]

I remember that you once were stuck in Pandora and one of the questions was what do the mountain banshee eat? You pointed out that there was a food source under the floating islands. I have not seen anyone bring them up. Are they still there or was that a trick question from your producer? Personally I think that they should have ride test vehicles at all the rides to check fit. I cannot bend my left knee enough to ride splash mountain, but only found out after waiting in line. We switched to your new channel as soon as I saw it come up. Great work!!!

Good morning Molly!!! Thanks for the videos!!!

[@juliemoore3212]

I was just telling my husband yesterday how much I adore Animal Kingdom. And that I am one who could spend all day wandering around it soaking in the atmosphere watching the entertainers and the animals. (of course we usually travel in November or December when its not as hot). We did the Wild Africa Trek in 2015. The rope bridges were scarier than I expected them to be but the experience was truly amazing. We were able to see all the safari animals up close. I was amazed by the hippos. Avatar is my favorite ride in WDW but I am not the biggest coaster fan, I do not get motion sickness, I have always loved Soarin. Avatar is definitely Soarin elevated. I agree the Lion king is the best show at WDW. It is emotionally stirring. Thank you for all the fun facts.

[@amyfreeman3276]

Congrats Molly! You deserve all the success. I love watching your videos. I will miss your banters with Quincy though. You guys were quite funny together.
