You sounded so raspy in this one. Another great video. I appreciate you. 👍

The ride Dumbo The Flying Elephant at every Disney park is based on Disney’s 1941 animated movie 🍿 Dumbo

The Disney animated classic Dumbo was released on October 31, 1941 and was a box office hit

That baby elephant was so cute

I love the pink elephants parts ❤

Awesome to see another ride video! I truly enjoyed this and love learning about attractions at Disney. You do a fantastic job!

I never knew about the moving ears (and I know a lot of things about the parks). Thanks for another great video!

In 2023 we took my son for his 5th birthday to WDW. My mom came with us. Her only caveat to the whole trip was “he has to ride dumbo with me first” how could I say no? To me it’s the kind of ride that you don’t think about when you leave or even a month after the trip but when you see it or get on it, it’s a flood of nostalgia and joy.

You forgot to talk about Walter Lantz he owned Oswald from 1929 to 1984 he made all the Post-Disney + Post-Winkler Oswald cartoons also you showed a Lantz cartoon Charles Mintz and Margent J. Winkler only made Oswald cartoons in late 1928 and early 1929 only.

We’re gonna reclaim Disney from woke idiots. Not gonna let every iconic American thing be destroyed by corrupt evil morons like Iger the terrible and his rabid woke mob.

4:11 - At EXPO67, this geodesic dome / sphere served as the USA pavilion. I think, seen to the right here is the USSR pavilion across a bit of the river on another island. After 1967, the 'glass sphere' was filled with gardens, becoming the Biosphere.

Great video and thanks for making it. This pavilion is most definitely one of the most detailed and is a wonderful place to spend time in. In my opinion, The Three Caballeros addition to the attraction really just killed a previously excellent experience. The previous ride was so peaceful and highlighted so many wonderful areas throughout Mexico. Unfortunately we now have Donald Duck SHOUTING constantly throughout the entire ride. It's so distracting to what is otherwise a beautiful setting. This was a cheap and quite terrible IP overlay that ruined an otherwise wonder experience. It's not like anything is being added here. It's just literally a cheap and fast IP overlay for no reason other than to make babies and young kids laugh. I mean, there are so many other places that can happen, for the life of me I cannot see any reason why they put this cheap overlay on this previously wonderful attraction.

My favorite ending was the 1994-2007 version with Jeremy Irons. The music was to me, the absolute best yet. The future city that is shown with all of the fiber optics along with the music was always so moving and memorable to me. It was positively the best. I do not personally like the current cartoon ending. It just feels cheap and quick. I have to wonder if that beautiful city of the future is still there just hidden behind walls. The original space station ports were there for years just not lit so it was difficult to see (on purpose). Anyway, that was my favorite version with the most incredible music, the calming voice of Jeremy Irons and that incredible ending.

I was just there yesterday and yes, the sound of Dame Judi Dench's voice is exquisite for the role of narrating this ride. Thank you all for making it possible and thank you for all your hard work in researching this!

Not even mentioning that Roy Disney made them tear it down and move it 2 inches for better sight lines? Or is that a myth?

It is me, Mark Silverman. I grew up watching so much Twilight Zone and I was obsessed with Disneyland and Walt Disney World, so getting the job to narrate a Twilight Zone ride for Disney seemed like a Twilight Zone episode in itself.

I still have the Walter Cronkite narration in my mind!!!!! 😊

If you are still wondering why spaceship earth lost the att sponsorship. At that time they were in the process of aquiring bell south. That is what the ceo at the time Dave told me.

Another great history lesson! Great work! I think Disney World should have a Walt statue at each park. Gad they put one in Epcot recently. None of the parks would be with out Walt’s original vision and to me the statue represents that. I always stop to take a picture of the partner statue at each visit.

The jeremy irons version is superior!!! The music just slaps!!! ❤❤

I hear they are going to tear that down and have Iger standing with Minnie Mouse.

Aside from a general gesture, I have always interpreted Walt extended hand as one of guiding Mickey through the park, through millennium! Frozen in time, it’s a beautiful piece

Thank you for the deep dives into Disney that I haven't seen anywhere else. Your channel is criminally undersubcribed!

Rip Walt Disney ❤

Hey ❤

I LOVE seeing the footage of the OG Dreamfinder on the Dreamcatcher vehicle!! The destruction of that scene was such a horrible loss to the attraction! 😢

First time I rode it, when I got off, I said to the cast member, “where does it go now?” And he promptly opened the elevator doors and let me watch the car back up and move over into the load shaft!!!

FUN FACT: when Disney went to Otis about doing a “drop shaft” ride, Otis originally declined, saying, “We have spent our entire career making sure elevators DON’T drop like that!!!”

By Far and Away the best video ever put together for anybody above the age of 30, it's hard to believe the atrium has been gone for 9 years already!!!!

I think his approach is my favorite of them all, cause what makes animation so unique is showing the feelings and emotions of the characters to feel the moment they're in. When Mowgli tries to wake up Baloo after the fight with Sher Kahn it really resonates w/ me as an adult still it was heartwarming that entire segment. Well done video, this deserves more likes and attention what a remarkable man, I'm learning animation and have been glued to the illusion of life for days now.

You are so detailed… I love it! Im a Disney Fine Artist and I love leaning!!!! I remember POLY had Moana Minnie’s Fun Hut (arcade) back in the mid 80’s. Have you ever come across this in your research? I wonder if the building still exists and if so, where is it? Id love to go back and reminisce

For your future reference: You keep mis-pronouncing "Chouinard". It is pronounced Chuunard.I know because I went to Chouinard and nobody I know that went to the art school ever pronounced like you have in this video and others. Just trying to help.

Really enjoyed this!!

I was just reminiscing about the Mexico Pavilion a couple days ago, and then this ended up in my feed! It's always been one of my favorite spots at Epcot, and it was a lot of fun to "visit" again by watching this fantastic video.

This was an amazing video! I loved the information about the modular construction. That's fascinating info I'd never heard of. Every time I go to Magic Kingdom I book dinner reservations at Kona Cafe, which I like the food at better than Ohana. A couple nights actually staying at the Polynesian (ideally the Bungalows) is my Disney bucket list dream...I need a job to give me a big signing bonus... Anyway, I would love to see you cover every hotel in this much detail!

Another awesome short documentary

Excellent content. Thank you

Love this! Mexico at Epcot is one of our favorite. We also love Canada for the Le Cellier Steakhouse. We love the architecture of both of these and the mood. Mexico Pavilion is a great place to go cool down on those hot summer days. I wonder if another reason to set the mood in the dark, so they can set the air conditioning to cool where as if they set the mood in daytime it would not fit to be cool / cold in Mexico as its normally warm there in the daytime???

Excellent!! Thank you!!

Lots of good content but the overforced every third word is unbearable

This is better than Disney’s own resort videos

I hope that Art Vandelay is given an opportunity to add to the contemporary architecture

Amazing channel , content and production. First Class 🏆 I subscribe ✅

This was lovely!! Shared with my husband and father in law since we are staying here in September. Enjoyed the documentary style!

Space Mountain (DL) was the first roller coaster I rode. I would not ride the original at MK til over 30 years later. Is this the first time an attraction was first developed at MK before being copied at Disneyland? I would love to see a 4-track space mountain built, but it would probably cost prohibitive. Great video and Arrow Development was a great company that helped pioneer many rides for DIsney and other parks.

Love these fun series of videos. You don't realize what you had, until it's gone. Like the people mover and the astro jets at Disneyland, these attractions allowed guest to have a bird's eye view of the park and a brief escape for the busy park below. Loved how it went through the Matterhorn. I figured the Skyway's demise was a combination of multiple factors, which you had mentioned. But a few years back, I discovered a scale model of the original skybuckets in a backyard railroad exhibit.

Another great video. Keep up the good work

Love this! I think you should do these. Hitting on the nice table service restaurant, would help someone like me that loves Disney but would like to know the back stories. I know there is others out there but as a subscriber to your channel i like to see all things Disney but only have a select few Disney channels i subscribe to, yours being one. By you providing all things Disney like this, its like a one stop shop 😁

Kool u got to meet chef They should have gave Tiana a restaurant not quick service

Thanks for the new video! I was watching some of your past videos last week and it made me sad to see you hadn't posted for a while
