I miss being traumatized by the Maelstrom

My wife’s cousin was an imagineer and Frozen Ever After was his first ride to build. He put so much work into it and is very proud of it even though the ones above him tied his hands on a lot of things which is why it’s a reskin of the original ride but he did want to keep some parts of maelstrom for those like him who remember and love the old ride. He told me about how close they ran on finishing when they were still stamping the cobblestone texture in the concrete floor in the que as people people were lined up on opening day. There was a lot of heat coming from all the accelerant to cure the concrete in time for feet to be on it lol. Also the Mickey solar panel on the way to magic kingdom and the Mickey pond where the speedway used to be by Hollywood studios.

Dude, I never realized there weren’t any churro or popcorn carts in Adventureland. These facts do matter.

I do really miss Maelstrom, it made me really want to visit Norway and Sweden someday. One might say I'm pining for the fjords.

The Via Napoli ovens do kind of look like the talking cave walls from Labyrinth so I get the Muppet comparison.

That people mover photo op is savage of disney, I cannot believe they would physically bully us by acknowledging that people want the people mover back. Anyways, DISNEY bring the Thunder Mesa land to real life and maybe y'know bring back the people mover as well.

Disney adult here. TOTALLY miss the Maelstrom. And all the cool Norway souvenirs that the Frozen stuff replaced.

One other little thing about Mt. Prometheus at Disney Sea... the queue line for Journey to the Center of the Earth winds through it, and you can see all kinds of neat things in the rock walls if you look. Also... because the line is long there are water fountains in it, but at one point there's a fountain that's been engulfed by spilling lava so you can't use it! (There's another one just down the way, though.)

That little scripture in the Norway pavilion is NOT the only Maelstrom relic. The entire Norway pavilion is hugely themed to Maelstrom as it was when Maelstrom was around. I’ve noticed that the only change to the Norway pacific when Frozen came in was the ride itself and the gift shop. Everything else is still viking and trolls.

Fun fact, they brought my dad and some of his work friends in to get geological references for the Grand Canyon. They never got recognition for it, but they consulted for it.

To add on to your wilderness lodge fun fact, with the rock work going up, if you go up to the different floors they have display cases with artifacts from the era of the coordinating sediment layer

I tend to look at Disneyland as a large architectural digest of visual immersion. The details are crucial, at least from my point of view, at enhancing the imagery that remains consistent at every Disney theme park.

Did you know that they recently had a Disney exposition at the Franklin Institute. Idk of they still have it, but they had a lot of really valuable and rare Disney artifiacts there, such as audio animatronics and the FIRST SKETCH OF MICKEY MOUSE !!!

I miss Malestrom :( it was my entire childhood. Norway i think was my favorite pavilion besides France. I also miss the trolls and the authentic Norwegian stuff they sold.

California native here who goes with his kids and family at least once a year to Disneyland. We will be going to Disney World for a week in May, and I will be riding the people mover. Can’t wait, it’s been years since I rode that as a kid.

Dalin actually completed a top 10. I feel treated. :D

The Magic Kingdom Hub looked a lot better with the trees, but the current version is better for guest safety.

Casey junior also has seats from the original carousel making it the only place in Disneyland you can sit on bench older than the park it exists in.

Love the cast member in the background at 2:56

Dude I’ve seen every single one of your videos. You are my actual favorite KZfaq channel

I miss Maelstrom so, so hard!

Good job pointing out Mount Prometheus at DisneySea, it is definitely something cool the Imagineers did to make it feel like it fits in each land

Disney adult in the chat ! 🙋🏻‍♀️ Thanks for the fun facts & it was so awesome meeting you this past week!!! -Bre & Tommy

The Maelstrom was my favorite ride at Epcot.

I think the tree thing is cause it's actually the second floor, so the roots might extend too far down, or effect the "ceiling" of the utilidoors.

Funny that you bring up trees blocking firework viewing, cuz I got stuck behind the one tree in the hub in Magic Kingdom when I went a few weeks back. Crammed in Casey’s Corner, not the best time but HOLY crap it was so fun to visit Disney again for the first time in 12 years.

Oh how I've missed the Offhand Disney top ten sound effect😄 Super interesting fun facts!

You should make a list of things Disney needs to bring back for Disneyland and Walt Disney world

I’m so happy someone is talking about how there are no more trees in the hub at MK. I think about it more than I should.

I recommend you make one called "Top 10 Disney Facts That'll Make You Question My Counting Abilities." Basically, don't tell the audience how many items are on the list, and use the numbers all out of order.

On my visit to WDW Tom Sawyers Island in 1976, it was my "Diagon Alley". I spent most of my day there. I will leave it to your "offhandedness" to fill in the blanks as to why that was...

this video easily made it into my top 10 favorite offhand disney videos

Finally! A top ten Disney facts video with new things that I haven't heard before! 10/10

These collections of fun facts are some of my favorite Disney Parks content. Thanks for making more!

I was at Disneyland and DCA last week but didn't make it to Throwback Nite. I must have just missed you!

"The ten tiniest hidden outdoor Mickeys in WDW."

Hey Dalin, my Son and I are renting a theater at ICON Theaters off of Interquest for a Private Screening of Haunted Mansion! It will be a late showing on Thursday night, July 27th! We would be more than happy to have you and your wife join us if you're interested ... on us of course! Just throwing it out there ... let us know, we will have PLENTY of space! 😄 This is Mike from up in Monument by the way ... changed our Channel name since last we chatted!

For thrown together at the last minute, this was a very nice video that was just entertaining enough to keep me company while I curled my hair! Thanks for the great videos on your channel!

That is a very nice little Easter egg they put down for those who actually got to experience maelstrom. However for those of younger generations like me, who grew up in a very norwegian American family. I am very passionate about doing things traditionally. And it makes me very sad that I will never be able to experience the traditional norwegian trolls they had in maelstrom or the ride itself. 😩 And for those of you who say there are still trolls in the frozen ride. Those are not norwegian trolls. They are heavily American-ized and while they are fun for American children and families who don't know traditional trolls it takes away the true experience of something new and different.

I can’t wait to see your video at throwback night! I saw a few videos on it and it looked like a Disney nerd’s dream.

You do videos like this so well. Great job. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

Last time I ate in Via Napoli, our waitress said that they get the water for the pizza dough shipped out from Hershey, Pennsylvania because it’s the closest pH level in America to the pH level in Italy!

Pure, stream of consciousness, Dallin is the best kind! Ridiculously entertaining! Thanks, special, for this one Maestro! 🎈

I really want the cancelled villians land in florida. it would've been so COOL

Thank you for the JOY on a rainy Saturday in MD.

I love that Tiffany-style lamp!

The trading cards are interesting and actually cool. The only thing we got when you could ride in the front cabin of the monorail before the major wreck was a co-pilots license.

Dallin you're actually the funniest person ever thank you for the amazing content lmao

6:42 So does the Disney logo. 👋 🎤

Props on this one. Actually had stuff I didn't know.

Never realized the tree thing. I just visited Disneyland for the first time this last summer and distinctly remember thinking, "Oh, trees. That's not like I'm Florida."

Maelstrom was so cool! I loved those freaky trolls.

Wait, did he say “Horizons clone”?!!! 😱I WANT THAT!!!!

I’d start every video with “I have no plan.” That’s why I watch videos and not create them.

There is one other Disney weenie that, maybe doesn't blend in between different lands of a park, but does blend in between two completely different parks - Tower of Terror in Disney's Hollywood Studios can be seen from Epcot, and blends in with the Morocco pavilion when viewed from the Mexico pavilion.

Amazing film I look forward in seeing your throw back film at Disneyland, it would be awesome if you streamed live at Disneyland sometime

I love Maelstrom. It was the scariest effing thing I’d ever ridden when I went on it at five or six, but I grew to live and appreciate it as I learned more about Nordic mythology and the land that my ancestors came from (my grandparents actually brought me on it because our family immigrated from Scandinavia, Ireland, Iceland, Scotland, and the like, and they wanted me to consume as much of that stuff as possible). I was crushed when I learned it was closing.

Top ten facts that will make the person on the people mover behind you say, “does this guy ever shut up?”

Another great video! 😀But I also have to ask what colour you've used on your walls? It's fab!

Love these kinds of videos!

I worked at the lodge for years at Whispering Canyon. There is a great hidden Mickey in the lobby fireplace

#7 is the best!! EPCOT is a great park and its top of my list too

I do remember that there were trees around when I was young and going to Magic Kingdom 30 years ago. Never was in the lodge at Fort Wilderness but I have been to the Bright Angel Lodge. I'm sure there's less of a chance of some brat setting off firecrackers he go from the Navajo reservation on a upper floor balcony while you're standing a huge echoing room, at Disney. Cos it happened at Bright Angel Lodge.

There are 34 transportation cards now- unsure of the exact change- but have one from a few years ago with “33” that also mentioned Minnie Vans…. Now more recent ones state “34” Idk what changed/what was added

Disney adult here ^^ A fact about Disneyland Paris : each land has a rollercoaster ^^ Frontierland : BTM Adventureland : Indiana Jones Discoveryland : Space Mountain Fantasyland : Casey Jr. Circus Train yes at DLP is a E-Powered rollercoaster designed by Vekoma ^^

I like the background audio from space mountain, one of my favorite rides since I actually enjoy the eisner era stuff like dinosaur (I know it wasn't under his era, but it can be considered of the scarier disney rides like his era.) Also would like to say I miss Maelstrom :(

I showed a cast member outside the entrance of Pixie Hollow where to find the last segment of "The House of the Future".

I heard the Space Mountain 'Star Tunnel" music in the background at the beginning of the video and I thought my phone was ringing for a minute.

I wish that Maelstrom would return, I don't like Frozen Ever After ☹️ Edit: for those abolute Chads who get the reference, Frozen should disapear! disapear! disapear!

You should do a tier list of the Disney Animated film scores!

Offhand Disney Matters

I think the hub tree difference is that in 55 they didn't plan for fireworks every night nor projections while wdw did.

"Why would they be serving churros and popcorn in the jungle?" Uhh... Because they're delicious?

I love your videos 😊 I been watching theme for a while and it's help make my day amazing so thank you keep up the amazing work my friend

No trees in Magic Kingdom hub because they block the projectors for the nighttime shows. As the projectors came along, the trees disappeared. Good thing? Bad thing? Up to you!

fun fact, the ride layout for I think it was disneylands haunted mansion is kinda shaped like goofys head (a worker in epcot showed it ot me). she showed me because my outfit made it pretty obvious that im a haunted mansion fan (minnie ears, bag, giant foldable fan). i mean the ride track is kinda shaped like goofys head (side profile)

I'm ALL Disneyland!! Never been to Disney world, 4 kids make stretching income a necessity SO LOVE YOUR DISNEYLAND VIDEOS!!!

Look we all know that there’s no popcorn or churro cart in adventure land is because Dole Wip is the the mafia boss of all snacks and demands that his turf is respected

Could the little oven volcano guys also be inspired the face of truth in rome? Great video as always! 🙂

MAELSTROM FOREVER!!! ❤️

Thank you Mr Offhand...thruly.....Off Hand...

Another fun fact for Disney Parks and Beatles fans: John Lennon signed the papers to formally break up the band in 1974 at the Polynesian Resort

Thank you for making so happy Dalin. But she’s gone now… and it’s just to hard to watch. I love you keep loving living with the land 💕🥹💚💙

Casey Junior is not an opening day attraction. It wasn't ready until later in the summer of 1955.

My family has always thought that Disneyland was more of a local focused park, whereas Magic Kingdom in WDW feels more touristy. Hence the lack of overlays during Halloween, lack of trees in the Hub, etc. This by no means Disneyland isn't touristy but it definitely leans heavier towards the locals and that's okay!

Man, I've had this cough for two weeks.

My poor girlfriend was traumatized by Paris’s Space Mountain when she was small, cuz apparently there’s a loopdeloop in that one. When we visit together, I guess I’ll have to wait in line for it alone, lol

I booked a 24 hour trip when happily ever after was leaving so I could see it one last time. Totally effed up getting a good spot, got stuck behind a tree 😂

Thanks for the extra, Dallin!

Wonderful video full of fun, interesting facts that are fresh.

The flamingo environment / island on the Safari is also a giant hidden Mickey.

Sorry to split hairs....Casey Junior is towing a calliope.

Replacing Maelstrom with Frozen was a colossal mistake.

0:17 They brought back the Peoplemover!!!!!! YEA!!!!!! Oh..... it's fake.

"From the Earth to the Moon" used to be my favorite ride - anywhere! Now, it's not even in my top 20 😕

Throwback nite looked awesome 🎉🎉

worked parking for a little while& I got a ton of those cards! they keep them in the cabs of the trams

They do those collector cards for the boats and busses too.

I miss these! 🥰

is Dallin saying "Disney _weenie_ " when he talks about Cinderella's castle and the volcanic mountain, etc? (I have sensory processing disorder)
