New Scene(s) Coming to Big Thunder Mountain, AI Bride Art Replaced at Haunted Mansion

[@taylor-tot3877]

Your desk setup is the dopamine hit I needed today!

[@scottfan4]

How dare you take away my opportunity to yell "FREE!!!" at my screen?!

[@dznycatlover1497]

😂

[@willsmythantrim]

Tom is on a roll - Good job Tom!!! No crappy 3rd party merchandise. I’m with you on this. DISNEYLAND PARIS does it right and HAS Tower of Terror merchandise. Why does the biggest main Disney park in the world not have it but we do in Paris? Paris knows how to do merch!!! ❤

[@ScaryJackSkellington]

He for sure is!

[@QuatroAtYale]

Two sarcasms AND a rant! Very good, Tom! Enjoyable news segment. Well, except for what's up with The Four Seasons stuff? Oh, it's the very fancy Disney neighborhood. Wow, never going to stay there. Wow, the more they up-market, the less I think I'll be able to go there. Sigh. Well, I still get to things, but I suspect as time goes on and things get more expensive, I'll end up watching Disney park stuff here instead of seeing it in person.

[@zarajenkins6948]

I love how passionate you are about all your desk merch and merch in general, I adore the bride sipper, looks gorgeous, thank you for a great news update, as always! 😊

[@LiamThomasGreenaway947]

How ever they did the cannon for Space Mountain From the Earth to the Moon in Disneyland Paris, I hope 🤞🤞🏼🤞🏽 they’ll get it to work again if they ever bring the attention back to its original form in the future.

[@Hallandoatesmeal]

33:26 not Tom literally barking at us 😂😂😂

[@disneylanddude05]

Is everyone still coming? I know some of the Imagineers live in SoCal and with the fires hopefully they and their families as well as their homes are safe

[@jgkidd82]

Great show last night!

[@ScaryJackSkellington]

I love the video! Don't listen to the haters! Keep up the great work!

[@fattestedtravel]

I hope they do something about the bats screaching its painful

[@d.j.klefeker9207]

17:23 Disney has been doing quite a bit of outsourcing lately, both in theme park merchandise and movies/television. They did it with Moana 2 where I believe it was animated in Canada instead of at the actual Walt Disney Studios. The only reason that I can think of for why they've been doing it lately is because they want to save costs.

[@davidfitzsimmons2451]

@@d.j.klefeker9207 technically they didn't 'outsource' Moana too. They own that studio, it IS a Disney animation studio. However, it was not intended to do Disney Animation Studios labeled films, and indeed Moana 2 was not a feature length film but a TV show, until Iger decided spur of the moment that it was. Honestly wouldn't surprise me at all if he decided that day of the share holder meaning he announced it. I know the burbank Disney Animation was shocked at the news that Disney was making a Moana 2 because they weren't aware apparently

[@adam_franklin]

In the haunted mansion shop, there's another painting of the bride on the other side of the room that looks like the sipper.

[@d.j.klefeker9207]

17:43 Exactly 💯

[@DS-pe8tt]

17:22 agree

[@spoonlessvalkyrie7514]

Dr Grant Seeker in the building 😅

[@PlumsandPeaches2736]

Agreed about generic merchandise. It is crap. I love Busch Gardens, Williamsburg, as much as I love Disney World, but Busch Gardens was bought out a few years ago and all of their merchandise is generic crap, it is so disheartening.

[@tracyd4508]

I just hope this refurb of Big Thunder is truly better, AND ACTUALLY WORKS, unlike the disaster that was once Splash Mountain! 🤞🏻

[@ScaryJackSkellington]

Totally agree with Tom 17:00

[@jaflorida7855]

Do you think there will be a virtual queue for the new Figmant bucket ?

[@josh0108]

Did anyone at WDWNT forget about Disney Tales of Magic starting at Disneyland Paris this past Thursday?

[@krisrhood2127]

My guess is that It's A Small World With Groot is only a little bit harder to believe than having the Disney characters that I've seen in the ride and liked

[@MoiveGuy24]

I wish they would put the figment passholder logo on the front of the shirt instead of the back because I’d rather see the logo on the front instead of trying to see it on the back

[@dylanguillot565]

Will there be a way to rewatch the panels from Promising Tomorrows?

[@jgkidd82]

I agree with you about the generic merchandise is garbage.

[@Wild_D]

Bonsai Groot sign is so cute

[@DS-pe8tt]

28:37 so glad it’s back!

[@RositaKleineIsFine]

Thanks for the update, Tom. I'm with you on the fake merch. Sooo wronggg!!

[@ScaryJackSkellington]

Totally agree!

[@dryakk]

Something has me thinking of dinosaurs

[@DS-pe8tt]

33:16 hopefully it will be more than just weekends

[@AllDaveErryDave]

Hang on, 3rd party merch is junk? *cough* carousel of products *cough*

[@Rebecca_Dolan]

WDWNT isn’t selling their products in the Disney parks…

[@toddw8396]

👷It is fun when construction workers get to wave/interact with guests; however, contractors setup walls and screens to: 1.) prevent public photos of worker infractions (remember at TBA the guy suspected of smoking). 2.) limit outside distractions if more dangerous work is happening. Wouldn’t be surprised if more screens/walls go up as work progresses forward.

[@nintandrew13]

17:00 How can he rant about Disney buying other merch to sell, but was fine with them buying tchotchkes to decorate the Haunted Mansion shop? They are a business about being creative, they have creative people paid to be so. They could afford to make their own decorations and merchandise instead of buying off the shelf

[@ScaryJackSkellington]

Maybe rewatch it again and then you'll find out more clear about it

[@bstives58]

Can't wait to see BTM refurbed!

[@tristanm3414]

How long does it usually take for the Dopey Challenge to sell out for the WDW Marathon Weekend? I am planning on running that in 2026 and would like to be prepared on how on top of registering I need to be.

[@RobertKinsman-m1m]

Within a few hours. You will have to be in the waiting room when it opens to get a bib.

[@frankcarney4882]

We stand with you Tom, NO 3RD PARTY MERCH!!!!😝🤬🤬

[@marcus07]

I absolutely disagree with your merchandise rant. i think it looks great and I Love that doesn’t specifically have the ride name on it.

[@squidward_tortelllini]

now that i think about it there really is no ending to thunder mountain 🤔

[@obibon4548]

Stay strong on that generic merch Tom! ✊

[@jessemask2562]

I guess you know that the pictures you show of people riding Space Mountain is from Disneylands Space Mountain NOT WDW as the WDW ride has different ride vehicles. WDW is one per seat NOT 2 abreast.

[@hawkeyemp17]

I think the vlog should stay here

[@WDWNT]

Sadly the KZbin algorithm will hurt us for posting too many videos, so we can’t

[@CaringDisneyfan]

Who the heck goes to a theme park next to these fires? Stupid is as stupid does

[@joemazz958]

A bunch of money...what a novel idea.

[@justschr]

How is 3rd party merch any different than using AI art to prop an attraction?

[@SteveKryworuka]

If anyone is rolling their eyes at Tom's merch rant, ask the nearest elder about the merch in late 1990's Disneyland

[@soljadreams24]

Speaking of Universal, Hollywood has made the wrong decision to "safely" reopen the park EVEN if wildfires are still ablaze. I pray for all employees, park visitors, first responders & the people of LA for their safety even though their homes have unfortunately been destroyed. Luckily, Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm allows ALL evacuees hospitality in resort hotels providing them food, water, snacks & admission to BOTH parks all for free. If I were park president of Universal Studios Hollywood, I suggest to extend park closure until further notice but in the meantime, I wish hospitality was provided at the CityWalk for everyone. We're gonna make it out alive and help those in need and most importantly screw Governor Newsom & Karen Bass for their wrongdoings.

[@sky0kast0]

I must agree it would take at least two days for wins to turn down right especially after such hurricane winds like that but I hope that the cast member and crew have face masks just in case there's too much smog in the area still.

[@davidfitzsimmons2451]

I am plenty critical of Disney for MANY things these days, but I have yet to have reason to be upset over their emergency responses. Glad to see they are still grade A there

[@davidusndek6719]

Not sure what wrongs the governor has done or are you listening to MAGA lies?

[@nvwhatitbe4REAL]

9 minutes of plugs before even 1 story. Can we please get the news?

19:02 Honestly WDWNT TV sucks. Cancel it, and spend all that time and money on WDW News Today.

[@WDWNT]

I don’t even know what this means

[@ScaryJackSkellington]

@geoffreyvive, go troll someone else's channel and stop complaining about their other channel! You are missing with the wrong person. They can do whatever they want with their news!!!!

[@geoffreyivie]

@@WDWNT WDW News Today has 232K subscribers. WDWNT TV has less than 17K subscribers. WDWNT TV has less than 7% of total subscriptions. Use KZbin channel analytics. If it is costing more to produce the content for WDWNT TV than the revenue it produces, then fix the problem. But don't take content from the news channel and put it on the comedy channel in hopes that it will fix things. If WDWNT TV doesn't suck, why are the subscriber numbers so low? It is not my business. If Tom wants to throw away money, so be it. Nick needs the employment after all.
