Near perfection at Grizzly Peak | Happy Winds-Day! | Disneyland 2020-02-22

[@taylorvickerman1508]

Grizzly Peak is my personal favorite land in all of Disneyland. You should do a series where you spend an entire day of Disney at just one land. That could be fun to get to know it in a different way. Especially the under visited ones

[@coolness06]

I love people watching at Grizzly River Run. It brings me joy to see raft after raft of guests with huge smiles on their faces after getting soaked on a hot day.

[@bruceward9553]

J. Audubon Woodlore is the ranger in the Humphrey Bear cartoons. Fun watching on Disney+

[@PorchPotatoMike]

He was voiced by Bill Thompson, the same person who voiced Smee, The White Rabbit, Droopy Dog and many others.

[@neilhewitson1617]

Love these small tip-of-the-hats to Disney cartoon lore the the imagineers always put in the parks. Most are better known than the Humphrey Bear cartoons.

[@glessenger]

What! soaring is one of my favorites!

[@stevejackson5256]

9:34 do you remember when they had coin machines net to GRR? you operated the geysers, and really wipe out a raft.

[@bocuster]

For real? That sounds like great fun for the people at the machine, and...considerably less fun for people in the rafts.

[@JMCAragorn]

Wow! What a cool/funny idea 😂

[@Tawnii]

YAY Francisco! He is so adorable. He gets a regular feature on the cats of Disney Instagram

[@TaurenTitan]

Hell ya! Francisco is a Real G. He's basically that side of the parks mascot. Disney should immortalize him and put in a movie; make a statue of him in that part of the park and make a pin of him. Maybe a pin set of famous IRL Disneyland cats. :)

[@lucash5446]

This land is so perfect!!!

[@larryfontenot9018]

The steam engine isn't for any one thing. That type used a big belt around the flywheel to power anything you could think of that needed it. The machine that did the work would be placed near the engine and had a smaller wheel on it for the belt to turn. If sleeping in a tent scares you, that's what they make camping trailers and RVs for. :)

[@DodgerBlueRobert]

“We’re not gonna let the winds take us into the Hollywood backlot”. Lol thank you. We ALL appreciate that. Literally the worst section of all the DLR.

[@Dive-Bar-Casanova]

Yes, In dire need of the bulldozer.

[@caspermilquetoast411]

Also, these lands have to come about organically over time. Mistakes and such, but that Villain Forest thing with the lights? THAT is a winner!

[@stephanieestep7529]

My favorite kind of FreshBaked video in my favorite area of the park. More of these chill videos please :)

[@emfunTravel]

Sequoia National Park, is the park with all the big trees. It’s amazing!

[@angelikaobradovich9267]

I like that Wind-day took you to DCA and particularly the Grizzly Peak area. And thanks for showing us the shop at the end. Often, my trips are so infrequent and we have to do park domination (Ronn style), so many of the shops I've never been in and I wish I could just go and take in the decor. Love all of those little wilderness/camping items for sale. So cute!

[@sillichickee3231]

The most times in a row I’ve ridden Grizzly is 6. Hit by the geyser 3times. It’s usually how my son and I will end a day in the parks. We were dripping wet. Best day ever

[@DisneyGator]

Serenity....at 8:36. This is going in my favorites for that moment. And I totally know what I'm doing on my next trip in June.

[@dougstrong8519]

We don't have money to burn, but that is what we do every 5 years or so. Stay in the Grand and spend at least one day in CA . Huge treat for us up in Montana.

[@sarahbethea243]

In 2016 my daughter and I had a room at the grand outside of grizzly peak. The last day of our trip was when grizzly river was opening after the refurb. We rode it 4 or 5 times in a row then went to our room and changed before we had to check out. It was awesome!

[@zacheryp813]

I love the back side of grizzley peak. Sat down and had a nice lunch there(cheesy soup in a bread bowl) when I was at the food and wine festival last spring. Its a nice little spot when its craaaaazy busy

[@CFproductionsTV]

The walkway between grizzly river run to soarin’ at night, when the lights are on, and the park is about to close, nobody walking around, it’s so peaceful and my favorite part of the park.. OR during golden hour.

[@JMCAragorn]

Cody Fast YES!!!

[@ellenfairbairn4027]

Hi Dave, Grizzly River Run is amazing and a few years ago I did this run 3 times in a row, staying in the same float all the time. It was a hoot!!!

[@bradyangelo1971]

I agree 100% with you David, Grizzly Peak is really underappreciated. It might be the best land in DCA. However, unlike you, I absolutely love Soarin' and can't imagine going to DCA without doing it. Loving the Winds-day series!

[@kyleighcox5745]

Francisco is my spirit animal.

[@dapper-Dan]

I love Carthay Lounge, not when the line is that long though! When I go to the parks solo I always get a Carthay Manhattan and let the winds take me lol.

[@lcflngn]

I love it too, but we haven’t gone often. It’s a fun break, and the pictures on the walls are awesome.

[@JMCAragorn]

Mmmmmmm...alcohol winds 😉

[@dapper-Dan]

lcflngn best bathroom at the parks too!

[@lcflngn]

Daniel Caan omg that is SO TRUE.

[@lcflngn]

Reminds me of the I Magnin (or maybe J Magnin) restroom on Union Sq in SF many yrs ago... They made it part of Macy’s & let the bathroom fall apart, so sad no idea what’s there now... Anyway, sorry, but I do love an awesome vintage restroom! Obvs this is not vintage, but they did a perfect job of it.

[@gringoinmexico3052]

Grizzley peak is the coolest spot in DCA. It is well themed!

[@bocuster]

I've been noticing your fancy new close-up shots (bokeh!). They are a nice touch! The waterfall on the back side of Grizzly Peak is nice but the flow of the park doesn't direct your eye towards it. It's a missed opportunity. Grizzly Peak in general is amazing, though. Probably aesthetically my favorite thing in the park. The ride is also one of my favorites, though I don't like it too much when a gallon of water pours directly into my shoes. Also, others have said it, but yes, that machine is a steam donkey. They are basically just a winch. Tie a cable to a big tree and they can pull themselves on sleds into position wherever trees are being felled, then they can pull logs around wherever needed. Redwood trees are typically around 50,000 lbs but can get up to 4,000,000 lbs, so yeah, helps to have machinery. ;)

[@laurabraun1465]

This is one of my favorite videos of yours. Love the Windsday episodes for their randomness and the therapeutic value too. Favorite moment was when you shared your camping fears!! Also agree.. I miss the days when the Frontierland store had more authentic gear/clothing (ie Pendleton)

[@anntheagobel3631]

It’s so tranquil.. I love the sound of water running over the rocks..

[@JMCAragorn]

I absolutely LOVE how they have that waterfall right by the walkway. Even when I’m rushing to Cars Land, or Goofys Sky School, my son will usually pull me to the waterfall for two minutes just to LOOK. It’s wonderful. 🧗🏼‍♀️🌊🌲

[@Andy65SHO]

Great video David, gives me memories of my visit 3 years ago. We were in Grand Californian for 6 nights, Grizzly Peak was our backyard 😃

[@FreshBakedDisney]

On my goals list!

[@tardis101010]

I've been to a Smoky the Bear museum in Capitan, NM where his story is supposed to have started. I was still a kid back then, maybe it's time I go back.

[@thesweepspot]

Loved this video today! One of my favorite areas in Disneyland Resort, completely agree with what you said about it. I also love that trail that runs kinda behind the rapids ride. Not sure how to explain it but it goes behind the queue. That’s one of my favorite walk ways. Thanks David!

[@dapper-Dan]

That trail is even better now that they banned smoking. You used to have to walk through all the smokers to get by.

[@thesweepspot]

Daniel Caan Oh that’s right I forgot about that used to be there.

[@Lantern84]

If you want to try camping but are afraid to be alone, you should try the SCA. They have medieval camping events every year. You can sleep soundly knowing you are surrounded by well trained knights.

[@genialgigi1800]

You know, I have not ever visited that souvenir shop. My family and rarely go to that side of the park. Something new for us to explore!

[@FreshBakedDisney]

do it! It's great! and go to Rush River Outfitters too!

[@genialgigi1800]

@@FreshBakedDisney 🙂 a whole new DCA experience for us on our next trip!

[@carfamily08]

I was in a raft that got hit dead on by the geyser last August. The looks on the faces of people waiting to get on when everyone exited my raft looking like they had straight up fallen in the River were priceless 😂

[@anthonyhitchings6909]

Hi David great video I hope you have a great day thanks for sharing that kid is very happy 👍👍

[@Geodude93]

14:40 There's no way you're 50... are you actually 50?!? I assume you're rounding up a few years but even that surprises me! Stay young at heart, David, I love your videos.

[@davidskings]

It was something definitely to mark of my bucket list when I got to stay in the Grand Californian it was so nice. Only did it once for a few nights. Maybe again some day. And I’m with you David I DONT CAMP!! 🤣🤣

[@FreshBakedDisney]

So many bad things happen in the woods

[@ainsleyperry5192]

FreshBaked, David, I don't know how the Disney wind's blew you across the Esplanade and into D.C.A.? Almost like the wind's didn't want you to enjoy yourself today. But Grizzly Peak saves the day! Cheers, Chris Perry.

[@linazepeda4690]

LOVE!! Wow, that was so peaceful and relaxing.....I could've gone to sleep listening to you narrating in the background!! Lol. Winds-day has officially become my favorite day of the week. Thanks David. FRESH BAKED!! NSA!

[@kdm71291]

David....the only thing you need to worry about consistently, in our local mountains, anyway, is yellow jackets! Those tracks were probably more like Mule Deer.

[@Andy_Avalanche]

I stayed at the Grand California in that lit up top floor at the 5:59 mark of the video. Was awesome, was for mothers day, and it was a cheap $800 a night. LOL. Split it up with the family obv.

[@jeanrose53]

We enjoy the Grizzly river run! So nice in the summer!

[@briantkiger]

Love Grizzly Peak Rapids, but had a sour last ride on it last fall before the refurb. Ride shut down while our tube was near the top of the last drop. Stuck there for 45 minutes while they dropped a tube, reset the whole ride, drop another, repeat. I sincerely hope whatever issue they seemed to be having was part of what they worked on while it was down this winter.

[@TheStaceySquad]

I love these chill Winds-day videos and I hope u make more of them too😃. Also in a older vlog I remember Liz calling another cat over their calling for Snickers. But either way I love the cute card of Disneyland too😃 Hi ho Hi ho NSA 🎉

[@brianpreblich5123]

Thanks for the B-day shout out, and the calming Disney video..

[@rjmckenzie4706]

I went camping once and it was alright, the only thing that I didn't like was the rain. The rain messed up everything and I was pretty cold but overall it was fine.

[@TorturedPeace]

Wife and I stayed at the Grand last month for her Bday, sans kids! Really liked the magic hour for California, Disneyland was a bust. They made you go to the East side of the ticketing area when all of the on property hotels are on the west side. Not thought out!

[@tomklock568]

Yes, we did a short trip to DCA on our last day of vacation a couple of weeks ago. It is much, much better than the last time we were there. I hadn't been there since before Cars Land, and it was pretty lame to be honest before. Enjoyed it! Just sorry we were so tired out and had to leave to see family that day.

[@tomklock568]

Oh and we each bought a sweatshirt in that same gift shop...super fun! Great clerks well.

[@kristencabayan1075]

I love water features, they're so calming and relaxing Edit/addition: 😂🤣😂🤣 That Back to the Future reference thanks to Adam the Woo and Justin Scarred starting rumors in Disneyland

[@jorgemiguel1040]

Grizzly River Run, you have a 50% chance of getting soaked. The other day 1/2 the raft got soaked by 1 big wave. the other half we were dry. The other factor is if the geyser is running . then all bets are of.

[@brentrdevlin]

FRESH BAAAAAKED!! Thanks for all your content. I really value your point of view and take on things. In April I'm headed to Disneyland/DCA/Universal/Pearl Jam/Sightseeing/ and the world famous Comedy Store for my 42nd birthday. I hope to get a Joe Rogan and a Fresh Baked sighting along the way! Keep up the awesome vids, thanks again. Your pal from the great white north.

[@disneyqueen7259]

Lovin the "Winds-Days" theme. Just noticed the dropping of "Disney" from the FreshBaked! name....

[@michealfeeney8920]

@ 05:45 It depends. There are waterproof cases that you could use to protect fancycam; dont know if they are within your budget or not. as far as taking it on as is? it would be a total carp shoot as to what happened to it, as you never know how the raft will spin on any one ride. In theory you could use plastic and ducktape to keep water out of everything but the lens itself (as putting plastic over the lens would defeat the purpose) but... I can understand you not wanting to risk it as well.

[@keithbob1781]

The challenge on river run is to stay dry 😆

I'm binging on all your vlogs, huge WDW fans, coming to DL first time this June. Wondering if you have done/ would consider doing a rope drop morning in each park that shows an order of things like... go get FP (or book it with maxpass), then ride this ride first, then next, e.t.c... Trying to figure out a general plan. Just a thought, thank you regardless, I really appreciate your content!!!!

[@JMCAragorn]

Rope drop at DCA is great. We always devote one morning to rope drop at DCA! You can ride Radiator Springs Racers (RSR) without a fast pass, but get a fast pass while you’re standing in line, so that you can immediately ride it again! Then Incredicoaster, then Goofys Sky School at least twice, a fast pass for Toy Story Midway and Soarin’, Little Mermaid is a walk-on, then a spinner! Lunch, then spend the rest of the day in Disneyland, feeling like you’ve completely done DCA! We usually have a fast pass for Space Mountain and/or Matterhorn waiting for us when we get there, too. We get a four-day park hopper when we visit, and one morning (always ends up being Wednesday) is always reserved for DCA rope drop. 🥰 Have fun!
