I was there just over a week ago, even as an adult it is still truly a magical place

[@amphetamean66X]

I'm 36 and never got to experience Stitches Escape. Stitch is my favorite character of all time. I went recently to Disney World and was really sad Stitch didn't have a ride. I did get to meet Stitch though and took some pictures with him. I've never smiled more in my entire life. Also a Cool TRON ride is on the way! YAY!

I went to tron 3 years later after this comment

MANY MEMORIES

[@queenjillian428]

This was all thanks to Walt Disney who had a great idea of inventing Disneyland and Walt Disney World thank you mr Disney you came up with that great idea of yours where family and friends can have fun where memories will last forever and where dreams really do come true

[@JLNeis]

We lived, if only for a short time, amoung the genius we know as WALT DISNEY. Thank GOD for this thoughtful, supersmart future seer we knew as WALT. What would this country have done without all of his thoughts and hard work. Lets not forget Roy O. Disney, a true brother and partner to Walt, hard to believe theyre all gone now. RIP to Walt and Roy, we miss you both !

[@lukegreen5341]

Mr. Walt Disney Is A Genius. Thanks Theme Park Callum Mate. X

[@damocoaster8451]

Good informative video Callum thanks

[@ThemeParkCallum]

Thank you!

[@loganbaileysfunwithtrains606]

I wish they would restore all the old attractions and rides back to the ones in the 1970s and 1980s (including river country and discovery island/ treasure island) and restore and rebuild Epcot, that would attract me to go to Disney world, going to see restored Epcot would be amazing. Sadly it's never going to happen.

[@rlt152]

Exactly I loved the old Epcot not so much into the new Epcot

[@lukegreen5341]

Mr Walt Disney Did Made Disneyland The Original Theme Park In Los Angeles In United States Of America. Thanks Theme Park Callum Mate. PS He Also Worked For Disney Movies Like Mary Poppins In 1964 And He Also Worked 8 Disney Animated Blockbusters From The 1940s And The 1950s And 1960s. From Pinocchio In 1940 And Dumbo In 1941 To Bambi In 1942 To 101 Dalmatians In 1961, Cinderella In 1950, The Jungle Book In 1967 And Of Course Peter Pan This One Was Released In 1953. X

[@QueenBritannia]

This is great! Could you do videos for the other WDW parks?

[@pseudonymous317]

Magic Kingdom 50th anniversary is next year! hopefully by that time, everything won't be as crazy as it is right now in the world so that we can all go and celebrate it together at the park! oh, and hopefully i'll have enough money so that i can go and visit the Walt Disney World (: amin!

[@zacharycifers5016]

Do a 2019 one they have changed alot

My favorite ride at Disney World is Haunted Mansion

[@erinsmith7372]

[@canttouchthis4783]

Thanks for the great video! Any chance you could do Hollywood Studios as well?

[@ThemeParkCallum]

Thank you very much. I do plan on doing Hollywood Studios, Animal Kingdom and Epcot this year, absolutely!

[@erinsmith7372]

@@ThemeParkCallum Dude Its Been Years I Want Those Vids Now!

[@powerpup97]

You forgot to talk about If You Had Wings, Dreamflight, the Mickey Mouse Revue, Magic Journeys and Legend of the Lion King.

[@akoww1000]

was going to say :) How could he/she miss dreamflight, it had so many changes to its name before becoming buzz light year ride . and if you had wings was great :) I miss those two rides . but still was a nice video to watch. I was born in 72 and my first visit was before I was 1 :P my family went every year from 77 to 88 during the summer , after that family just didn't do stuff together any more.

[@FreedomforHaiti]

Also missing is the Home of Future Living.

[@philrabe910]

I loved If you had Wings! It was corney, but a great respite from the heat. [presented by Eastern airlines]

[@FreedomforHaiti]

The Swan Boats are missing, too. I thought those were neat when I was a kid.

[@ivanthegaming2015]

Can you do Hong Kong Disney Land. May dad worked on tomorow land, I did get in the park 3 months before it opened. My family got to test the rides.

[@harrisonwest9936]

ST SNSGT it isnt'

[@lesmorrow226]

Still mad about Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Not much left of the original attractions for us old timers.

[@luuchoo93]

Les Morrow Disney World has always been more modern and advanced, dark rides are not exactly fitting. Disneyland is more for dark old attractions

[@yup4032]

luuchoo G not really. Disney World wants to keep classic rides original like its a small world, Space Mountain, Tomorrowland Speedway, etc. Disneyland is trying to take out the original away and be more modern

[@nolanpayne]

R.I.P. Mike Fink Keel Boats 1971-1997

[@Floemp]

Nice video, you should try make a history video of Liseberg, I'm sure it got some great history.

[@Full.Circuit.Thrills]

Great video! But get your facts right. Thunder Mountain was manufactured by Arrow Development. Not Vekoma!!! Also your spelling. It's FLORIDA! !

[@ThemeParkCallum]

Thank you. Yeah, I was aware straight after the video was released that I made a mistake. I was thinking of Big Thunder Mountain in Paris. I did place a card in the top right corner correcting my mistake.

No, Epcot, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Animal Kingdom!

[@lilliandonaldson8121]

Next step is to take all this rich history, get a narrator and showcase actual footage. Why would someone want to read video for 14 minutes?
