One's faith in humanity can be partially restored by recalling the righteous indignation over the Figment-less renovation in 1999 and Disney's (relatively) rapid turnaround to restore the beloved little dragon.
lalizziela I agree with you 200% about the line to Space Mountain. That's my favorite part. But thank you for showing Bear Country Jamboree. The moment you mentioned it I started singing Blood on the saddle, and reminiscing because I've been missing from Disneyland for a long time. Then you showed Blood on the saddle and that was awesome!
i went on the figment ride back in 93 when i was like 7 years old and i loved it. too bad they changed it. rumors has it disney isnt done with figment. so maybe they will redo the ride.
Fun fact, this is the reason that for a large part one summer, the author John Green sat in the hall of presidents for almost the whole day and wrote. He admits that nothing me wrote there was good, but he sure saw the hall of presidents a lot. He talks about it in his podcast the anthropocene reviewed and also a couple times on vlogbrothers, his UA-cam
Legit, I live in Florida so my family likes to visit the parks a lot, but I personally hate roller coasters, so I just chill in the Carosel when they're off riding space mountain and stuff.
When I first visited the Country Bear Jamboree, I went nuts over the decapitated moose heads on the wall. I was traumatized. Then my brother said, "Don't worry. They're not dead. They're standing on the other side of the wall, and poking their heads through." I felt better after that, and my brother's lie made sense when the heads started talking. As it turns out, he had no idea they would start talking; it was just a lucky guess.
"Disneyland used to have goats too, but they closed it down for being unpopular, and now they're putting Star Wars Land there," became a lot more meaningful now that we know Jenny worked there.
They also used to have the turkey that was pardoned by the President right by the goats. "You've been pardoned by the president, what's next?" "I'm going to Disneyland!" But it does make me wonder where the pardoned turkeys go now that they've closed down the petting zoo area.
@@pfifltrigg after looking up a bunch of articles/transcripts about this, I *believe* the turkeys are sent to various farms now, though there is some suspicion that they are just killed later in life (i couldn't find a lot of evidence to back this one up tho). they used to be sent to a farm called Frying Pan Park (yikes) but for the past few years, they've been sent to a place called Gobbler's Rest at Virginia Tech's research center where they kinda just chill out/provide DNA samples for research purposes (like genome sequencing and stuff). they mostly only live for a year or two (in one case i saw like 8 months) instead of the 5-10 year lifespan because the turkeys are selectively bred to gain so much weight their bones can't support them (not a complete downer tho! there was another case of a presidential turkey named Courage who lost a bunch of weight thanks to its handlers and it lived for 6 years). i spent about 30 minutes looking this all up anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk,,
My friend had never ridden Spaceship Earth, and it was pretty late, so afterwards she wanted to do it again, and the Cast Member was super surprised and said, "I mean, if you want you can just stay and do it again." Literally all of the Cast Members were super confused that we wanted to do it twice lol
Not just goats! There is an underrated section in the “spider museum” where you can watch actual veterinarians treating the park’s animals. I watched a surgery on a duck through a glass wall. They also have a special phone that you pick up if you have a question and, if they are able to, one of the surgeon’s assistant’s will pick it up and answer any questions you have. It was absolutely incredible. It feels like you are peaking behind the curtain in a way. Where else are you going to be allowed to watch something like that?
surgery on a duck???? every time i think i have a grip on what theme parks are about i read something like this and get even more confused. i'm glad you had a good time tho.
John Smith magic kingdom is quite different than most. It’s more zoo than theme park. Every animal there requires vet care at some point so why not have a place for guests to watch?
@@kokopuppy57342 it still seems kind of weird to me but you're not wrong. and i guess they wouldn't have the phone to ask questions if people weren't interested enough to use it. is magic kingdom the one that had the ad campaign where they stressed it was "not a zoo!" but then it turned out to pretty much just be a zoo?
John Smith oops I meant animal kingdom. Magic is the one with the castle. Yes, they do say it’s more than a zoo but it’s basically like a really cool zoo with a few rides. They added pandora (im pretty sure it’s there) since I went last. As for the phone lots of people were using it. They also had a speaker that they kept on for most of the operation so you could hear what they were talking about and they did a great job explaining what was happening and encouraging people to use the phone. Most of the little kids had the same dumb kid questions though bit they were super patient and made everyone feel good. The kids only wanted to know the ducks name, how old he was, what his favorite food is etc. only the adults had good questions about the surgery
@@kokopuppy57342 wow! so it's like an honest to goodness attraction. it's still kind of surprising to me because it doesn't line up with what i think of as a theme park attraction but i bet it's a good way to introduce kids to veterinary practices and like, help them be less worried when their pets need surgeries. now i'm picturing a parent explaining to their kid how the doctor's going to take mittens away to do surgery and the kid's like "just like at disney world?" meanwhile the vet's like "?????" 😂
my favorite “lame” thing is there is a ride at epcot that just is about agriculture and environmentally sustainable gardening. A it’s relaxing and gorgeous and takes you through real greenhouses and i learned so much. It’s my gf and my fav ride and we talk all the time about next time we can go
Ask at the desk if you can take the walking tour Behind the Seeds. It's an hour long and cost...holy crap $30 a person! Ok I just looked it up and it didn't cost that much when I did it. It is pretty interesting but I don't know if it's worth $30. Still something to consider.
@@SparkleDeluxe_minecrafter Garden Grill was the first place I ever ate french fries (due to food allergies and WDW being super accommodating), it will always be my favorite Disney restaurant.
This video changed my whole life. I dragged my entire family onto the goats and spiders railway and had a blast. We stumbled into a drawing class being given by a Disney animator.
I was angry about the 'train' as it's not really a train, obviously not like the one at Magic Kingdom, but a disel-powered truck that runs on rails. Seriously look closer at it next time.
when I was on the carousel of progress the audio stopped but the robots mouth kept moving and for 10 minutes we all sat in silence as the sound of a juddering clamping jaw grew to fill the entire disney park
I thought of more lame things I love: -the Swiss family Robinson treehouse -the line for the haunted mansion -not technically in the parks, but listening to whatever cover band is playing in Disney springs at night
@@ChristobanistanI thought it was a little boring. This might just be a coincidence/consequence of being a teen today, but I thought it could’ve used some interactive elements
I'm surprised the Swiss family Robinson thing is still there. My parents used to take me through it and then get dole whips. They should turn some of it into a playground like the Jurassic Park one at IOA
I keep forgetting that Jenny is like an adult in her thirties and not just an incarnation of the fountain of youth here to delight us all with her whimsical rants and observations.
@@scottlarson1548 her vids are really simple and yet the way she uses her speech to interact with viewers makes them fun to listen to and and engage with for sure
As a kid, I had a weird dragon doll that no one in my family knew where it came from and what's it's about. Now, 30 years later, your video revealed that the dragon was figment. Thank you.
I loved Figment when i went in 80s. I was too young to really remember anything though, just some vague images. I wish I could see the old version. Edit* of course it's already on youtube. I spoke too soon.
i cant get over the audacity of saying "when i'm on buzz lightyear, I don't really feel like I'm fighting aliens" and not following up with, "when I'm on the people-mover, i feel people-moved"
Buzz Lightyear: lame, not real aliens, waste of metal and plastic People Mover: damn, it sure as hell got people in it. And sure as hell, they're getting moved.
buzz lightyear would still run fine if no one was in it, but the people-mover can’t exist without its riders. you’re part of the ride because you’re the people getting moved
IF YOU GO IN THE EARLY MORNING AND BUY A PICKLE FIRST THING. YOU MAY. JUST BUY. THE FIRST PICKLE OF THE DAY IN DISNEYLAND. AND THE PICKLE LADY. MAY JUST GIVE YOU. A PIN THAT SAYS. I'M CELEBRATING: FIRST PICKLE OF THE DAY. AND IT MAY. JUST BE. THE MOST EXCITING MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE.
On my last trip to Disney, my family took shelter in The Carousel of Progress to escape the rain, along with an entire theatre of people who had the same idea. Little did we know that we'd all be spending the next hour together as the ride broke down and trapped us all in the 1940s, slowly eroding away at our sanity as the show repeated itself on and on and on--seven times, I think. By the time the ride spirits deemed us sufficiently conditioned--indoctrinated--and saw fit to release us to the next decade, we were all together, a bunch of strangers, reciting the dialogue and singing the song. The ride then proceeded to break down again later on, but only for one repetition--as if to test us. We dutifully sang along and were allow to escape our torture, released back to the muggy Floridian landscape. It's a treasured experience, and pretty much the only thing I remember from Disney; all my other memories were eclipsed by going to Universal that same week and crying when I walked into Hogsmeade for the first time.
You can also take the "Behind the Seeds" tour where they show you their greenhouses and pest control stuff and part of the lab where they reproduce certain plants and you get to feed the hydroponic fish and if you're a plant nerd, it is the best thing.
My friends and I accidentally went to the country bear jamboree because we thought the lobby was just a sitting area. We decided to just go in with the crowd when they said the show was starting because hey we're at Disney World might as well. Going in completely blind with no idea what was about to happen was the best way to experience this masterpiece. I thought we were going to aneurysm when Big Al started singing about blood because we were laughing so hard. We raved about it all night, it was the highlight of the day.
I had a similar experience, only I was at Tokyo Disney so all the songs apart from one were in Japanese (which I don't understand very well) which included the lyric 'every guy that turns me on turns me down' - we completely lost it. Worse still at the time my friends and I went in there was a parade happening right outside as it was near Easter so everyone was watching that which lead to me and my 2 friends being trapped having no idea what was happening with random Disney employees scattered around - we hadn't noticed them until they started clapping and we straight up thought we were going to be murdered.
I have only been to Disneyland but I freaking love the country bear jamboree. You can go on rollercoasters anywhere but only Disney has the great animatronics. Then, again, also love the Tiki Room and Small World.
Accidental Disney moments are the best. My cousin and I spent a few days at Disney when she was 17 and I was 18 or 19. At the time, Magic Kingdom had the Mickey Mouse birthday land and we got into a line because it was in an air conditioned building. Had no idea what it was for but it was hot out and we wanted to cool off. After about 20 minutes, I realized what we were queued up for... to meet Mickey Mouse himself! LOL I wish I still had those pictures... not sure what happened to them. I did find a photo not too long ago of her and I huddled under one poncho at Epcot in a horrendous rainstorm. The other poncho suffered an untimely shredded death. Some cast member saw us huddled on a bench under one poncho laughing our butts off over the situation and offered to take our picture. Good memories. :)
The three caballeros ride is def my favorite. Nothing says 'functional ride system' like waiting 5 whole minutes at the end of the ride to reach the unloading docks, listening to donald say 'hasta la vista' like 5 times
amberbydreamsart wait are those the bird things?! I haven’t been to Disney World since I was five but I remember a ride with birds that was distinctly Spanish and I became obsessed with it for a year and then promptly forgot all about it until now. It was legitimately a memory I surprised for some reason.
@@oliverbluebug Indeed. It's inside the Mayan pyramid and has José Carioca (a parrot) and Panchito Pistoles (a rooster) chasing Donald Duck (a golden condor) through the Gran Fiesta Tour. ;-)
Just going to the Tangled bathrooms in Magic Kingdom. there are no rides there, but it just feels like you’re in the movie with the music and the scenery.
Body Wars has been gone for 11 years. And the Norway ride got replaced with a Frozen version of itself. Epcot was my favorite of the parks even when I was little, but they've been struggling in recent years. Heard it's going to get a major upgrade. Eventually. The last of the four parks to get love. :(
My most favorite memory of visiting Disneyland, was when I was walking through Toontown with my younger brother and ex, and spotted someone's digital camera on the ground, because while my brother and ex wanted to be total dillweeds and keep it, I marched us all the way across the park to the Lost & Found to turn it in. Because I did that, the lady working behind the counter had me sign my name in a book (I think), and then gave me an Honorary Citizen of Disneyland button for my good deed. I proudly wore the button for the rest of the trip, absolutely beaming as if I were a kid again (and I was 21).
I love how the creepiest part of the bear show starts, which stars Big Al slowly singing a gruesome and sad song about how a cowboy was shot to death off of his horse, and Jenny is super excited about it. I also love the contrasting energy between the two clips of the show. One had the crowed clapping along and in the other all you can hear is Jenny
The contrast between Jenny going "it's boring, you probably won't like it, it sucks :/" and then it cuts to Jenny at the attraction going "YES I LOVE THIS SO MUCH :D!" is so funny
My favorite lame thing about Disney World is being a 38 year old man who loves going there without the shield of cool irony to stand behind. My love of the parks is pure, I walk around saying "gee-whiz" all day just like some bumpkin that just fell off a turnip truck.
i am a 47 year old female, and have been doing some solo trips since 2014. I love Disney, and no matter how many times i've gone, i still will be 'oh my gosh-ing' at something every day, and likely multiple times a day! I love riding the Carrousel, which when compared to many of the other rides, can possibly be considered 'lame'...but it can become a whole new experience when you get to ride Cinderella's horse (look for the gold ribbon around the tail!), and then get sat next to by none other than Drizzela! SO not kidding! Oh my gosh was i ever at a loss for words!!
There’s a ride next to the “eh” Nemo dark ride called turtle talk with crush and oh my god is it fun. Little kids ask crush questions and the crush talk and responds to them directly but like thru an animated screen. The crush voice actors are so into it and kids are so unpredictable, it’s just a grand old time.
Oh my gosh I love that one! I've only been once. I was about 13 and sat in the audience with all the little kids who were waaay younger than me. I asked crush why turtles were so awesome and I dont remeber his answer.
Sadly I've seen a lot of clips of this where mostly adults ask questions. And i fear that that atraction might be taken over by people trying to get a funny clip rather than letting kids talk to a turtle
I'm pleased to report that I sent this video to a co-worker who was planning a trip to Disney World with his wife. When he returned, I interrogated him about whether he had seen THE GOATS. He had. I felt my mission was accomplished.
This video low-key changed my life. While I was coming out of a dark time in my life, I wanted to dream again but didn't know where to start. I watched this video, and I really enjoyed all of these "lame" things. So I came up with my dream Disney trip, and I fell in love with the parks. I shared my dream trip with people, and they'd love it and ask when I was going. So then I planned a real Disney trip. COVID cancelled it, but I still believe it's in my future. Can't wait to ride the Peoplemover and pet the goats! But really, I also felt encouraged to share the things I like, even if they might seem lame to some people, because it might resonant or just be entertaining to the right people. So Jenny, not to go all Flynn Rider on you, but thanks for helping me find a new dream!
You might’ve lucked out with the trip being canceled, the Peoplemover has been down for maintenance for like a year so you wouldn’t have been able to ride it. But maybe it’ll finally be back by the time you go!
My friends and I were the cool kids who would go on Spaceship Earth several times in one visit and just choose different language options, none of which were English. To this day I don't actually know *any* of the narration on that ride but I love it. (Also, legitimately cool thing; if you're lucky when you're on the People Mover for second hour straight you'll actually pass by the ride windows when the rides are closed for emergency maintenance. Seeing Space Mountain with all of the lights on is both fascinating and terrifying and I will never be able to ride Space Mountain again after seeing its true form as a tangled hellscape of metal and burning light.)
Same. I thought it would be less scary with the lights on, but nope. Literally looks like my schizophrenic thoughts wrought in iron for the world to see. 🤯
I've never been to Disney World, but one of my favorite things to do at Disneyland is go around taking pictures of all the trashcans... they're all themed to their individual lands and I think that's really awesome.
Cuckoo Kukri im literally as jealous as i possibly could be of you; on my last parks trip i forgot the trashcans were themed until my LAST DAY and now im lamenting the fact that i dont have pictures
No one will see this but I have to tell someone that the reason Carousel of Progress stops so much is because whenever someone goes out the emergency exit door in the middle of the ride the system freaks out and refuses to move because it doesn't want the hypothetical person at the door to get crushed, so it just starts the current scene again. Which people don't want to see again so...they go out the emergency exit. Which causes the scene to repeat again. So you get in a nightmare spiral of constant leaving and repeating, and the only ethical way out is to finish the whole thing, because otherwise you doom everyone else inside. It's Disney's marshmallow test
I still don't believe any of them are real, and the fact that clear and obviously real video evidence is enough to sway your opinion shows that you are as weak as you are arrogant.
@@yusufkadar You know you can search these things up and see they are actually real, right? Why would she make up a restaurant or orange swirl for internet views?
My favorite lame Disney activity is going on the Kilimanjaro Safari on a really hot day when most of the animals are sleeping, and then getting to listen to the tour guides awkwardly attempting to make jokes to fill the whole 30 minutes, since none of the animals are out. Disney World may be expensive, but you really can’t put a price on that kind of entertainment. I also love the audience participation part in Festival of the Lion King, because it’s always fun to hear that one poor audience member attempt to make “giraffe noises” into the microphone. Classic.
it’s funny cause for me those sound incredibly uncomfortable and will give me so much second hand embarrassment that i cannot handle. i just cannot be around improvised stuff because it can go wrong and then it’s awkward for everyone. glad you find it fun tho
Because of Jenny, I got my whole family to eat at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe and listen to Sonny Eclipse for my birthday. I have never been more entranced and invested in a fast food animatronic and never will to that level ever again.
Lame thing I do at Disney world: Not go there because I live in Scandinavia and fun is illegal and I can't find my way out of this forest so I can't leave
I was going to say... for the first time in my life I want to go to Disney World now. I never liked Disney stuff and so I thought the whole thing would be corny as hell... and as it turns out, it *is*, and that's what makes it great.
Finally some Disney goat solidarity, literally so mad they took it from Disneyland :( A few years ago while at Disney my friend and I went to pet the goats, and whatever brand of sunscreen I had used that day, the goats LOVED the smell of. They kept rubbing their heads against my legs, I’m talking 5-6 goats (which was like, most of them) and it was the best day of my life
A HIGHLY underrated thing to do at Disney world is talk to the staff at Epcot. These people are from all around the world, with different accents and it's soooo interesting!!
Last time I went to the Germany pavilion the workers had no accents when speaking to customers but would suddenly switch to fluent German when speaking to each other. It was really surreal.
My uncle when he brought his 5 year old to Epcot for the first time had her go up and introduce herself to the cast members from different countries because she had never really met anyone from outside the US before and it was a good learning experience for her to learn about their culture and hear their accents. I thought it was really sweet.
I’ve only been to DidneyLand, but my favorite attraction is the SMELL of Pirates of the Caribbean. (I also enjoy the animatronic dog holding keys in his mouth, just outside reach of the pirate prisoners). But that smell, the mildew-y, woodsy, humid smell.. it’s everything to me. I feel immediate comfort and peace as soon as I get a lungful of the potentially toxic air.
Pirates at Disneyworld also has a VERY distinct smell but it's like this weird...fruity-ish smell. But not quite. I dont know what it is but I LIVE for it.
The first time I rode Pirates of the Caribbean was in '94 and I was particularly tickled by the jail dog. So when the film released I got an extra chuckle when Jack gave his line, "You can keep doing that forever. That dog is never going to move." :D
this video hits different now so here are my favs: - the fountain of nations at epcot. makes me feel at peace - the queue for pirates of the carribean. roaming through echo-ey pirate tunnels is fun in itself - the finding nemo aquarium
I doubt you'll ever see this but I just want you to know that this video inspired an essay I wrote in my final year at university that I aced, which contributed to me getting one of the best degrees of my peers. Specifically, it was the PeopleMover section. Rewatching this made me smile.
@@bug3196 It's difficult to explain without writing paragraphs of text, but it was for a humanities (liberal arts) degree and it was basically about "the slow cancellation of the future". I drew on the example that the futuristic world promised by Walt Disney World through its Peoplemover, Tomorrowland and EPCOT attractions is now itself a relic of the past. It also talked about how the present is "haunted" by the ghost of this future. Jenny's video inspired me to write that essay.
10. Unlimited soda at the hotels, but only at the hotels. 9. Riding the monorail through the Contemporary Resort Hotel. 8. The absolutely terrible dessert you get for free by wearing a birthday pin. I got a cookie with whipped cream on it. 7. That ride in Hollywood Studios where the ride operator has to interact with the animatronic villains from the movies and then a second operator shows up halfway through. 6. The Enchanted Tiki Birds is never interesting but completely unskippable. 5. Swiss Family Robinson treehouse, where you basically are in a line with some interesting props the whole way through. 4. Character breakfasts as an adult couple with no kids. 3. The Hall of Presidents, which even before our current administration was incredibly long and slow and weirdly exciting, waiting to see if Harding would cough or whatever. 2. The Land tour, where you pay extra to be taken through the gardens where they grow a surprisingly large amount of lettuce served in EPCOT. 1. Finding every penny-squishing machine in the park, where it costs 51cents for a souvenir you made yourself and will probably leave in the pile of change you’ve added to the tip for housekeeping.
The jungle cruise is excellent, not for the ride but just because one time I went on it and the guy told the jokes with absolutely no expression and nobody laughed except for me. Greatest experience ever.
i accidentally heckled the chick working there trying to come up with a pun of my own and the dead look in her eyes was a transformative experience as the rest of the boat guffawed on
Okay so I had a similar experience when I was really little bc I demanded to be in the front of the boat and the guide actually started talking to me the entire ride through and I remember milking every second of the attention. I was adorably laughing and loudly asking about each animal
There's this theme park near me (it's in the Netherlands) and it's called the Efteling, and every time I go there, I force my friends to go into the fairy tale forest with me, which is just a forest filled with scenes from fairy tales, but like the creepy European Grimm brothers version, and it's magical. Along the path, there are these huge toadstools that play music by Beethoven and the scenes all have animatronics and loads of details
That forest is so fucking weird ngl. Been inside only once it creeps me out even though I’m familiar with all the Grimm tales. Also the old trash cans that could talk made me feel uneasy. Don’t know if they still exist, haven’t been in a while. Greets from Germany btw ;)
@@skyzgone2953 most of the trash cans are baskets now. I agree that most of the older animatronics look hella creepy, especially Rumpelstiltskin. That's part of the charm tho
My favourite underrated attraction at disney is the elderly manatees. It's been like 8 years so I don't remember clearly, but somewhere in the animal kingdom there's a building built into a real wetland, where they take care of sick or elderly manatees. They are peace in animal form. My dad's favourite attraction at Disney is the people mover, so I'm glad to see it getting some love. And I have such nostalgic memories of 4-year-old me losing it over Sonny Eclipse.
Given what we have learned about Jenny in the last few years re: her work in the petting zoo and her love for arachnids, I nominate that the goats and spiders train ber renamed to the Jenny Nicholson Express
By far the most underrated and disrespected ride at Disney was Ellen’s Energy Adventure. It had Ellen before her decline into infamy, Bill Nye the Science Guy, a Jeopardy dream sequence with mustachioed Alex Trebek and DINOSAURS. It was a lovely 40 minute ride in air conditioning with no line and it was perfect. I will miss you till the day I die Energy Adventure.
I had no idea! I just found her channel a week or two ago while watching other videos about Disney World but I remember watching Friendship is Witchcraft from years ago! I should go re-watch it!
I LOVE to go to Tom Sawyer's Island. It feels so much more isolated and wilderness-y than Disneyland's. Also they still have a open fort WITH guns that make shooting sounds when you pull the trigger. It's just the best.
I went to USJ in Japan, to Harry Potter world. I spent 4 hours in Harry Potter world. I didn't go on rides. I don't like Harry Potter. I didn't buy one of their interactive wands (although I did watch other people do the thing) Mostly I just looked at EVERY location way too closely. All the little details were amazing. I had a blast, and would love to go back.
My sister and I were on spaceship earth and I accidentally pressed the button to listen in Portuguese and then my sister started having an asthma attack in the middle of the slowest ride at Disney World
My favorite lame thing to do every time I went to Disneyland was to walk through Innoventions. Until they turned it into a Marvel movie prop museum and then closed it down. I miss you, Innoventions.
"I was so relieved when he got to that song because I would not have tolerated that kind of plot hole in my fast food animatronic entertainment." I love it! I always dig your sense of humor (:
One of my favorite memories from going to Disneyland when I was 14 was this super lame, clearly for very small children, Winnie the Pooh ride. It was one of those fairytale rides where you're in a seat booth thing (a beehive) and you get slowly moved through a dark space between scenes with slightly moving robots and lots of music and narration. My family was so bored, but I wanted to go five times. It was friendly and slow and peaceful and I had just been forced onto a roller coaster and needed time to recover.
I'm going on my first ever trip to Disney in just a few weeks, and I'm stupidly excited about the bathrooms, because I've heard they're nice. I just feel that well-maintained bathrooms take an experience to the next level and I don't care how that sounds.
@@raymyth767 She was so enraptured by the bathrooms that she decided to stay. Workers discovered her ambling from bathroom to bathroom, without using them, hours after the park had closed. They weren't sure how she'd avoided detection and she was basically catatonic but they eventually provided her with a uniform, a towel, a toothbrush, and a spray bottle of bleach water. Some say that she's still diligently helping to keep the park bathrooms spotless to this very day...
Your description of "orange swirl" soft-serve resonated with me: "I keep getting them, even if I'm not like feeling it, if I'm full, if I'm cold, I will get them anyway because I know I can't get them at home." This is exactly how I feel about egg salad sandwiches from convenience stores in Japan. I am not exaggerating when I say that I average one a day every time I come here (and I've been here for 90 days on this current visit). If I see one I will buy it, even if I just had one 12 hours ago, or I'm not really in the mood. I will buy and eat it just because I know I can't find its equal in the US. And the thing is, I seldom eat egg salad sandwiches in the US unless I make my own, and the egg salad I make is nothing like the somewhat bland egg salad they have in those sandwiches.
Hmmm, I live on Oahu and we (used to) get a lot of Japanese tourists and there are also many American's of Japanese descent living here for generations as well. Because of this, we have quite a few Japanese-style things on offer here to cater to both of these groups as well as the "local" population that has become a true melting pot of various cultures. It's actually one of the best things about living here. At least for this haole from the mainland, it is. It's like what the rest of the US would be like if we truly were the country that we sell ourselves as to the rest of the world and our own citizenry (at least in this one respect. We still have plenty of the same problems as the rest of the country). But I digress... The point I wanted to bring up is that I love egg salad sandwiches. I never really thought about Japan being a place for a great egg salad sandwich, but now that you mention it, it seems like the kind of thing that they would excel at. Especially of the pre-packaged, convenience store variety. And now that I think of it I know I've seen them in ABC Stores and 7-11s. I'm sure they have the same quality Japanese-style egg salad sandwiches here for all these reasons, or if just to cater to the Japanese tourist market for a little piece of home while abroad. So now I must seek out these egg salad sandwiches locally and have one today! I will report back on my success or failures. Is there anything I should look for in seeking out the perfect specimen? Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa!
Have you tried the egg sald sandwich on the Shinkansen bullet train snack trolley? OMG it is to die for. Lighter than air bread, perfect egg salad mix, crusts cut off, it is the best egg sald sandwich I have ever had. I dream of it still.
This was me in Tokyo with the 7 eleven food 🤣. Like idc if there were better and healthier bentos at better restaurants, the convenient store meals just hit different.
idk how no one has said this but in my experience the secret is kewpie mayonnaise which uses the whole egg rather than just the whites. its so rich and creamy
I used to love going on Ellen's Energy ride when I was chaperoning field trips to Epcot. Hanging out with high schoolers all day was exhausting and the Ellen ride was like a half hour of dark cool rooms that you go slowly through and you have plenty of room to lie down because no one else was on it. I can't do it anymore because my wife is no longer a choir teacher and I think they closed that ride.
Yeah they’re replacing the ride with the Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster, which I am super excited about, but I will miss the old one :( it taught about renewable energy right? I’m pretty sure it helped educate me when I was little
Here’s some of my favorite lame things in Disneyland: -the bootstrappers, it’s the pirate band in New Orleans square and I love them an unhealthy amount - cars land. Cars land at day? Wonderful, feels so much like a small highway town in southern Utah. Cars land at night? Life changing. Just like, go sit outside of flo’s V8 and just chill, or like just behind the cozy cone lobby building? It’s so nice I love it there. - the benches next to the rivers of America at the intersection of new Orleans square, frontier land, and adventure land. Something interesting is always going on, wether it’s the bootstrappers (my beloved) the jazz band at the French market, the mark twain, something on Tom sawyers island, characters coming in and from the three themed areas, the smell of the popcorn cart and pirates? It’s just the prime Disneyland spot.
Somebody I worked with would suggest it to anybody who would listen. He didn't mind drinking it so he'd 'demo' it first, then just revel in their reactions.
It's not even bitter to me XD We have a similar drink in my country (New Zealand) named "Indian Tonic Water". The taste is from quinine, which can stop fever.
I totally get how little kids could feel cheated after riding Spaceship Earth because of the name, but I’ve always loved how it was named for a concept with such optimism. Adlai Stevenson said it best: “We travel together, passengers on a little space ship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and, I will say, the love we give our fragile craft. We cannot maintain it half fortunate, half miserable, half confident, half despairing, half slave-to the ancient enemies of man-half free in a liberation of resources undreamed of until this day. No craft, no crew can travel safely with such vast contradictions. On their resolution depends the survival of us all.”
me and my brother were SO OBSESSED with it when we were little. so much so that our parents let us go in by ourselves TWICE IN A ROW even though we were like 6 and 12.
I enjoy memorizing all those "for your safety" messages before you get on a ride so I can prefectly mouth them along with the speaker and feel proud of myself.
I know the haunted mansion one by heart “Take your loved ones by the hand, please, and watch your step. Oh yes, and no flash pictures, please. We spirits are frightfully sensitive to bright lights. Do not pull down on the safety bar, please. I will lower it for you. And heed this warning: the spirits will materialize only if you remain seated with your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside. And watch your children, please.”
Disneyland's Pirates has the best safety narration, from the horrifying talking skull, you get two different ones depending on timing. But Big Thunder's is obviously the most quotable. "Howdy partners. For your safety, make sure you have your hands, arms, feet, and legs, inside the vehicle, and be sure to watch your kids! If you have any hats or glasses, best to remove them, cuz this here's the WILDEST RIDE inna WILDERNESSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
I was the biggest baby when I was a kid and afraid of almost every ride at Disney or any other amusement park. You basically just gave a list of my top 10 favorite Disney attractions from childhood.
when my friend and I went she really loves Tangled so when we got to the Tangled area (I guess, it's just like a town center square like thing with old castle buildings surrounding the circle floor outside) anyway, she freaked out and me and my other friend had to just kinda stand there while she "soaked in the view and feels" of her fav place on earth. she'd never been to disney world before so we actually had to do that for a lot of the special areas but that one took the longest by far. i will say it was kinda cute watching this 22 year old girl just standing in the center of the street just smiling at everything and taking deep dramatic breaths of air lol but i bet people thought me and my other friend were her parents or something just standing awkwardly off to the side taking pics for her
So in Disney there's supposed to be trashcans within something like 27-30 ft of you at all times. So whenever we go, at any time anyone of us can say "trashcan" to another, and that person must stop, find the closest trashcan, and count how many steps away it is. None of us have ever passed 22 steps, and we were passholders for 3 years.
A couple things happened to me on one really good trip: First, I went to California Adventure to attend a showing at the Animation Academy. At that time I was dreaming of becoming a Disney animator, so of course I just loved the show itself. But then the guy conducting the class (Noel I think) brought me up to his desk afterward and gave me a couple of his drawings and this amazing "follow your dreams" speech. Still have his drawings and the pics I got with him ten years later. Super lovely man. I think he's still doing the classes too, so y'all should check him out after COVID's under control. And later that night, back in Disneyland, I went to the Golden Horseshoe Saloon. I went buy my parents a couple sodas, only to have the cashier be like "oh hey you're the 100th customer today" and they gave me a free banana split (maybe it was ice cream nachos??). Me, a temporarily unsupervised 12-year-old, was given this massive bowl of ice cream and left to my own devices. It goes without saying that while the scenery, the treats, the shows, the rides all make for a great experience, it's the employees that make it a perfect experience. So thank you to the Disney employees that make each trip special.
My parents took me to Disney when i was like 7 and what I remember most is unfortunately the carousel of progress. My dad saw it and RAN to it like it was gonna be the best fucking ride and we all regretted it as soon as we were trapped in there. After it rotated to the 4th scene or so he leaned over to my mum and just whispered “I’m really sorry.”
My Favorite "Lame" Things To Do At Disney In No Particular Order 1. Explore Restaurantasaurus and Columbia Harbor House 2. Ride Spaceship Earth (which is an attraction I've loved since I was like five) 3. Get carrot cake cookies at The Writer's Stop (RIP) 4. Watch the street shows throughout World Showcase 5. Visit Club Cool 6. Not sure how boring other park-goers think this is, but I really like looking around at the queues for Expedition Everest and Jungle Cruise. Also thank you for reminding me how much fun Country Bears Jamboree is!
i LOVE most queues at disney ?? space mountain is my favorite but most of them are just so cool ??? im never bored its great i remember being 14 and slowing the line down at Expedition Everest bc i wanted to read the things on the wall
Hooray People Mover! Last time I was on that myself and my colleagues pretended it was a high speed roller coaster and we all had our arms up and were hootin' and hollering as if we were going 70 mph not 7... until one of the park employees yelled at us over a hidden loudspeaker to cut it out and put our arms down.
figment 😩 is 💯 a👏 freaking 🔥 boss 😤😩👌💯🔥🔥😈😈👊😏😈😔😈
One's faith in humanity can be partially restored by recalling the righteous indignation over the Figment-less renovation in 1999 and Disney's (relatively) rapid turnaround to restore the beloved little dragon.
*loss
lalizziela I agree with you 200% about the line to Space Mountain. That's my favorite part. But thank you for showing Bear Country Jamboree. The moment you mentioned it I started singing Blood on the saddle, and reminiscing because I've been missing from Disneyland for a long time. Then you showed Blood on the saddle and that was awesome!
I went to Journey into Imagination 30 years ago, when it was great as you describe. I'm really sad to hear that they've changed it so badly. :(
i went on the figment ride back in 93 when i was like 7 years old and i loved it. too bad they changed it. rumors has it disney isnt done with figment. so maybe they will redo the ride.
the Carosel of Progress has no line, ice-cold air-conditioning, and copious seating, which puts it in the top-3 rides in all of Disney World.
Fun fact, this is the reason that for a large part one summer, the author John Green sat in the hall of presidents for almost the whole day and wrote. He admits that nothing me wrote there was good, but he sure saw the hall of presidents a lot. He talks about it in his podcast the anthropocene reviewed and also a couple times on vlogbrothers, his UA-cam
@@Oli.V writing for your novel in a quiet ride at disney world sounds like heaven
Legit, I live in Florida so my family likes to visit the parks a lot, but I personally hate roller coasters, so I just chill in the Carosel when they're off riding space mountain and stuff.
@@Oli.V Maybe he didn't write anything good there cause he's John Green
Claire S , i enjoy his writing but this comment still killed me, lmao claire
When I first visited the Country Bear Jamboree, I went nuts over the decapitated moose heads on the wall. I was traumatized. Then my brother said, "Don't worry. They're not dead. They're standing on the other side of the wall, and poking their heads through." I felt better after that, and my brother's lie made sense when the heads started talking. As it turns out, he had no idea they would start talking; it was just a lucky guess.
thats a clever lie for a kid lol
Aww! That’s a good brother
You are like my aunt and cousin. They had a crush on Big Al.
That's a really good brother.
This is so sweet.
"Disneyland used to have goats too, but they closed it down for being unpopular, and now they're putting Star Wars Land there," became a lot more meaningful now that we know Jenny worked there.
gigastrike2 it really did :’(
I hear that they used to have mules as well.
"They closed MY PETTING ZOO!!!"
They also used to have the turkey that was pardoned by the President right by the goats. "You've been pardoned by the president, what's next?" "I'm going to Disneyland!" But it does make me wonder where the pardoned turkeys go now that they've closed down the petting zoo area.
@@pfifltrigg after looking up a bunch of articles/transcripts about this, I *believe* the turkeys are sent to various farms now, though there is some suspicion that they are just killed later in life (i couldn't find a lot of evidence to back this one up tho). they used to be sent to a farm called Frying Pan Park (yikes) but for the past few years, they've been sent to a place called Gobbler's Rest at Virginia Tech's research center where they kinda just chill out/provide DNA samples for research purposes (like genome sequencing and stuff). they mostly only live for a year or two (in one case i saw like 8 months) instead of the 5-10 year lifespan because the turkeys are selectively bred to gain so much weight their bones can't support them (not a complete downer tho! there was another case of a presidential turkey named Courage who lost a bunch of weight thanks to its handlers and it lived for 6 years). i spent about 30 minutes looking this all up anyway thanks for coming to my ted talk,,
My friend had never ridden Spaceship Earth, and it was pretty late, so afterwards she wanted to do it again, and the Cast Member was super surprised and said, "I mean, if you want you can just stay and do it again." Literally all of the Cast Members were super confused that we wanted to do it twice lol
Ha! I'm so glad it's not just me! I went on it back to back too and loved it both times
Last of the original Epcot rides with purpose to educate and inspire
Not gonna lie I wasn't fully on board until I heard Judy Dench. That sounds so pleasant
Not just goats! There is an underrated section in the “spider museum” where you can watch actual veterinarians treating the park’s animals. I watched a surgery on a duck through a glass wall. They also have a special phone that you pick up if you have a question and, if they are able to, one of the surgeon’s assistant’s will pick it up and answer any questions you have. It was absolutely incredible. It feels like you are peaking behind the curtain in a way. Where else are you going to be allowed to watch something like that?
surgery on a duck???? every time i think i have a grip on what theme parks are about i read something like this and get even more confused. i'm glad you had a good time tho.
John Smith magic kingdom is quite different than most. It’s more zoo than theme park. Every animal there requires vet care at some point so why not have a place for guests to watch?
@@kokopuppy57342 it still seems kind of weird to me but you're not wrong. and i guess they wouldn't have the phone to ask questions if people weren't interested enough to use it.
is magic kingdom the one that had the ad campaign where they stressed it was "not a zoo!" but then it turned out to pretty much just be a zoo?
John Smith oops I meant animal kingdom. Magic is the one with the castle. Yes, they do say it’s more than a zoo but it’s basically like a really cool zoo with a few rides. They added pandora (im pretty sure it’s there) since I went last.
As for the phone lots of people were using it. They also had a speaker that they kept on for most of the operation so you could hear what they were talking about and they did a great job explaining what was happening and encouraging people to use the phone. Most of the little kids had the same dumb kid questions though bit they were super patient and made everyone feel good. The kids only wanted to know the ducks name, how old he was, what his favorite food is etc. only the adults had good questions about the surgery
@@kokopuppy57342 wow! so it's like an honest to goodness attraction. it's still kind of surprising to me because it doesn't line up with what i think of as a theme park attraction but i bet it's a good way to introduce kids to veterinary practices and like, help them be less worried when their pets need surgeries.
now i'm picturing a parent explaining to their kid how the doctor's going to take mittens away to do surgery and the kid's like "just like at disney world?" meanwhile the vet's like "?????" 😂
my favorite “lame” thing is there is a ride at epcot that just is about agriculture and environmentally sustainable gardening. A it’s relaxing and gorgeous and takes you through real greenhouses and i learned so much. It’s my gf and my fav ride and we talk all the time about next time we can go
Ask at the desk if you can take the walking tour Behind the Seeds. It's an hour long and cost...holy crap $30 a person! Ok I just looked it up and it didn't cost that much when I did it. It is pretty interesting but I don't know if it's worth $30. Still something to consider.
Living In The Land is the best ride in Epcot and I will take no arguments on the subject.
the land! yes! i love the land.
And then eating the food at the restaurant afterwords... it's so great!
@@SparkleDeluxe_minecrafter Garden Grill was the first place I ever ate french fries (due to food allergies and WDW being super accommodating), it will always be my favorite Disney restaurant.
"Jenny talks about mostly animatronics and one frozen treat for nearly 12 minutes". I love it, thank you.
12 minutes isn't nearly long enough - it should be an hour at the very least.
what about the goats

What about the _droid attack on the wookies?_
This video changed my whole life. I dragged my entire family onto the goats and spiders railway and had a blast. We stumbled into a drawing class being given by a Disney animator.
wtf that's so cool
Why isn't Disney advertising this at all!? That would be the highlight of my day at a Disney park, honestly.
I was angry about the 'train' as it's not really a train, obviously not like the one at Magic Kingdom, but a disel-powered truck that runs on rails. Seriously look closer at it next time.
@@explorer47422you ruined the magic 😢

ROTFLMFAO
Sounds like that one Throbbing Gristle song
Jenny: :D
He just says that over and over again too...he’s seen some shit
James Hutchins oh right, I forgot!
when I was on the carousel of progress the audio stopped but the robots mouth kept moving and for 10 minutes we all sat in silence as the sound of a juddering clamping jaw grew to fill the entire disney park
I don't know if experiencing that moment would be my dream or my nightmare but either way I'm glad that it's history that actually happened.
That’s what technology has been building up too.
This sounds more or less like my mom’s side of the family at Golden Corral.
OldThinkerTube This actually just sounds like any given day at Golden Corral.
I would pay for that
The way to sell people on Country Bear Jamboree: “All the guys that turn me on turn me down” is a real line that is sung.
Sold.
I don’t like country music, but I’m going to Disney for this.
god that's the best part besides big al
I feel personally attacked by this relatable content.
Not just a line. A WHOLE SONG.
I thought of more lame things I love:
-the Swiss family Robinson treehouse
-the line for the haunted mansion
-not technically in the parks, but listening to whatever cover band is playing in Disney springs at night
the line for tower of terror is super cool too
The Swiss family Robinson treehouse is NOT lame.
@@ChristobanistanI thought it was a little boring. This might just be a coincidence/consequence of being a teen today, but I thought it could’ve used some interactive elements
I'm surprised the Swiss family Robinson thing is still there. My parents used to take me through it and then get dole whips. They should turn some of it into a playground like the Jurassic Park one at IOA
The line for the haunted mansion is hilarious
How ironic that when the peoplemover stopped moving that the song played "can't stop won't stop moving"
If the People Mover isn’t moving, then it’s just a bunch of people.
I keep forgetting that Jenny is like an adult in her thirties and not just an incarnation of the fountain of youth here to delight us all with her whimsical rants and observations.
@@piiga same but "like an adult in her 28s" didn't sound as funny or as eye opening in a way that would get people to google her actual age haha
I was shocked 😂
Her delivery and ways of explaining things are so unique and earnest that I have to listen to everything she says.
@@scottlarson1548 her vids are really simple and yet the way she uses her speech to interact with viewers makes them fun to listen to and and engage with for sure
The video is from about 2 years ago so she was about 26 but still, I agree.
As a kid, I had a weird dragon doll that no one in my family knew where it came from and what's it's about. Now, 30 years later, your video revealed that the dragon was figment.
Thank you.
This sounds like the beginning of a creepy pasta LOL
wow
I loved Figment when i went in 80s. I was too young to really remember anything though, just some vague images. I wish I could see the old version.
Edit* of course it's already on youtube. I spoke too soon.
7:41 Omg, the whispered "I love him" while showing this hideous bear thing made me laugh so much!
I lost it when that bear then proceeded to sing "there was...blood on the sand..."
LMFAO, when you click on that time stamp, it's timed exactly like 1 of those Dior perfume commercials.
i cant get over the audacity of saying "when i'm on buzz lightyear, I don't really feel like I'm fighting aliens" and not following up with, "when I'm on the people-mover, i feel people-moved"
Buzz Lightyear: lame, not real aliens, waste of metal and plastic
People Mover: damn, it sure as hell got people in it. And sure as hell, they're getting moved.
buzz lightyear would still run fine if no one was in it, but the people-mover can’t exist without its riders. you’re part of the ride because you’re the people getting moved
@@Amyphere Without the people, it's just a mover.

On my last trip to Disney, my family took shelter in The Carousel of Progress to escape the rain, along with an entire theatre of people who had the same idea. Little did we know that we'd all be spending the next hour together as the ride broke down and trapped us all in the 1940s, slowly eroding away at our sanity as the show repeated itself on and on and on--seven times, I think. By the time the ride spirits deemed us sufficiently conditioned--indoctrinated--and saw fit to release us to the next decade, we were all together, a bunch of strangers, reciting the dialogue and singing the song. The ride then proceeded to break down again later on, but only for one repetition--as if to test us. We dutifully sang along and were allow to escape our torture, released back to the muggy Floridian landscape.
It's a treasured experience, and pretty much the only thing I remember from Disney; all my other memories were eclipsed by going to Universal that same week and crying when I walked into Hogsmeade for the first time.
One of my favorite "lame rides" is that one in Epcot The Land that shows you how Disney grows a lot of it's food and all that. So cool.
TennelleFlowers yes!!! the earth ride! 😍
I love living with the land 😭😭😭
You can also take the "Behind the Seeds" tour where they show you their greenhouses and pest control stuff and part of the lab where they reproduce certain plants and you get to feed the hydroponic fish and if you're a plant nerd, it is the best thing.
“Living with the Land” is awesome.
Love that one haha!
My friends and I accidentally went to the country bear jamboree because we thought the lobby was just a sitting area. We decided to just go in with the crowd when they said the show was starting because hey we're at Disney World might as well. Going in completely blind with no idea what was about to happen was the best way to experience this masterpiece. I thought we were going to aneurysm when Big Al started singing about blood because we were laughing so hard. We raved about it all night, it was the highlight of the day.
It’s glorious.
I had a similar experience, only I was at Tokyo Disney so all the songs apart from one were in Japanese (which I don't understand very well) which included the lyric 'every guy that turns me on turns me down' - we completely lost it. Worse still at the time my friends and I went in there was a parade happening right outside as it was near Easter so everyone was watching that which lead to me and my 2 friends being trapped having no idea what was happening with random Disney employees scattered around - we hadn't noticed them until they started clapping and we straight up thought we were going to be murdered.
Big Al is a goddamn national treasure 😂
I have only been to Disneyland but I freaking love the country bear jamboree. You can go on rollercoasters anywhere but only Disney has the great animatronics. Then, again, also love the Tiki Room and Small World.
Accidental Disney moments are the best. My cousin and I spent a few days at Disney when she was 17 and I was 18 or 19. At the time, Magic Kingdom had the Mickey Mouse birthday land and we got into a line because it was in an air conditioned building. Had no idea what it was for but it was hot out and we wanted to cool off. After about 20 minutes, I realized what we were queued up for... to meet Mickey Mouse himself! LOL I wish I still had those pictures... not sure what happened to them. I did find a photo not too long ago of her and I huddled under one poncho at Epcot in a horrendous rainstorm. The other poncho suffered an untimely shredded death. Some cast member saw us huddled on a bench under one poncho laughing our butts off over the situation and offered to take our picture. Good memories. :)
You can’t really get enough of Judi Dench saying “papyrus.”
Like a thoughtless child just wandering by a garden...
desepticon4 Disney’s even got Avatar and Shakira.
Nyeh heh heh...
Pah-pie-rus
"Pa-PAH-rus, a sort of paper...."
The title sounds like an edgy teenager who was dragged to Disney world by their parents but secretly enjoyed it
and then as a ~30 year old like jenny you relate to the title because you love so many "boring" things teens and most adults find "lame"
@@MintyArisato I realized I relate directly to this concept, this year.
The three caballeros ride is def my favorite. Nothing says 'functional ride system' like waiting 5 whole minutes at the end of the ride to reach the unloading docks, listening to donald say 'hasta la vista' like 5 times
amberbydreamsart wait are those the bird things?! I haven’t been to Disney World since I was five but I remember a ride with birds that was distinctly Spanish and I became obsessed with it for a year and then promptly forgot all about it until now. It was legitimately a memory I surprised for some reason.

Just going to the Tangled bathrooms in Magic Kingdom. there are no rides there, but it just feels like you’re in the movie with the music and the scenery.
Faith Wangermann this. I always have to go to the Tangled bathrooms
My Uncle helped build those bathrooms.
Hailey Capraun that’s awesome!
Body Wars has been gone for 11 years. And the Norway ride got replaced with a Frozen version of itself. Epcot was my favorite of the parks even when I was little, but they've been struggling in recent years. Heard it's going to get a major upgrade. Eventually. The last of the four parks to get love. :(
100% agree. Best bathrooms, would recommend.
My most favorite memory of visiting Disneyland, was when I was walking through Toontown with my younger brother and ex, and spotted someone's digital camera on the ground, because while my brother and ex wanted to be total dillweeds and keep it, I marched us all the way across the park to the Lost & Found to turn it in. Because I did that, the lady working behind the counter had me sign my name in a book (I think), and then gave me an Honorary Citizen of Disneyland button for my good deed. I proudly wore the button for the rest of the trip, absolutely beaming as if I were a kid again (and I was 21).
Lmfao
You rescued a stranger's special memories! That's awesome you totally deserve the hero pin
That is genuinely one of the sweetest things I have ever read on UA-cam 💓
Very good! 👍
I would have at least watched what they shot first, then returned it.
I love how the creepiest part of the bear show starts, which stars Big Al slowly singing a gruesome and sad song about how a cowboy was shot to death off of his horse, and Jenny is super excited about it. I also love the contrasting energy between the two clips of the show. One had the crowed clapping along and in the other all you can hear is Jenny
I am in love with your lifestyle
HOW DID NO ONE NOTICE YOUR COMMENT!?
I am in love with your voice
Wait jon your still alive?
Funny seeing you here
Who is he
"I would not have tolerated that kind of plot hole in my fast food animatronic entertainment." -Everyone
The first time i went on space mountain i started crying because in space there's no air and i thought we were all going to die on the ride.
The contrast between Jenny going "it's boring, you probably won't like it, it sucks :/" and then it cuts to Jenny at the attraction going "YES I LOVE THIS SO MUCH :D!" is so funny
My favorite lame thing about Disney World is being a 38 year old man who loves going there without the shield of cool irony to stand behind. My love of the parks is pure, I walk around saying "gee-whiz" all day just like some bumpkin that just fell off a turnip truck.
i am a 47 year old female, and have been doing some solo trips since 2014. I love Disney, and no matter how many times i've gone, i still will be 'oh my gosh-ing' at something every day, and likely multiple times a day! I love riding the Carrousel, which when compared to many of the other rides, can possibly be considered 'lame'...but it can become a whole new experience when you get to ride Cinderella's horse (look for the gold ribbon around the tail!), and then get sat next to by none other than Drizzela! SO not kidding! Oh my gosh was i ever at a loss for words!!
Thank you RJ, very cool!
you sound like a very interesting person lol
I'm 18 and I do the same thing, it's my favorite thing
Is that a bad thing? Im 37 and obsessed with Disney. Is it supposed to be weird?
There’s a ride next to the “eh” Nemo dark ride called turtle talk with crush and oh my god is it fun. Little kids ask crush questions and the crush talk and responds to them directly but like thru an animated screen. The crush voice actors are so into it and kids are so unpredictable, it’s just a grand old time.
I love Turtle Talk With Crush, I always do it as least once every time I visit Disneyland or Disney World.
Oh my gosh I love that one! I've only been once. I was about 13 and sat in the audience with all the little kids who were waaay younger than me. I asked crush why turtles were so awesome and I dont remeber his answer.
Wow, it’s been years since I last went to Disney World, but I still remember that really well!
OH. MY GOD I love this sm!!!
Sadly I've seen a lot of clips of this where mostly adults ask questions. And i fear that that atraction might be taken over by people trying to get a funny clip rather than letting kids talk to a turtle
"The goats are only accessible by train" is a wonderful line
I'm pleased to report that I sent this video to a co-worker who was planning a trip to Disney World with his wife. When he returned, I interrogated him about whether he had seen THE GOATS.
He had. I felt my mission was accomplished.
This video low-key changed my life. While I was coming out of a dark time in my life, I wanted to dream again but didn't know where to start. I watched this video, and I really enjoyed all of these "lame" things. So I came up with my dream Disney trip, and I fell in love with the parks. I shared my dream trip with people, and they'd love it and ask when I was going. So then I planned a real Disney trip. COVID cancelled it, but I still believe it's in my future. Can't wait to ride the Peoplemover and pet the goats!
But really, I also felt encouraged to share the things I like, even if they might seem lame to some people, because it might resonant or just be entertaining to the right people. So Jenny, not to go all Flynn Rider on you, but thanks for helping me find a new dream!
I’m glad that you are feeling good again! Hope that one day you can get to Disney World safely soon!
Do it girl! Totally worth it
This is beautiful i hope you're doing well
You might’ve lucked out with the trip being canceled, the Peoplemover has been down for maintenance for like a year so you wouldn’t have been able to ride it. But maybe it’ll finally be back by the time you go!
this is such a sweet comment (,,:
My friends and I were the cool kids who would go on Spaceship Earth several times in one visit and just choose different language options, none of which were English. To this day I don't actually know *any* of the narration on that ride but I love it.
(Also, legitimately cool thing; if you're lucky when you're on the People Mover for second hour straight you'll actually pass by the ride windows when the rides are closed for emergency maintenance. Seeing Space Mountain with all of the lights on is both fascinating and terrifying and I will never be able to ride Space Mountain again after seeing its true form as a tangled hellscape of metal and burning light.)
Chaos Shadow also if space mountain brakes down while you are on it turns on the lights as well
my friends and i were the same but we always did English and now we can recite it
@@sirhootsalot2343 yes!! This happened to me twice in one trip, it was horrifying and fascinating!!
Same. I thought it would be less scary with the lights on, but nope. Literally looks like my schizophrenic thoughts wrought in iron for the world to see. 🤯
Have been on the ride during a break down. I WILL NEVER PUT MY HANDS UP AGAIN!!!!!!
I've never been to Disney World, but one of my favorite things to do at Disneyland is go around taking pictures of all the trashcans... they're all themed to their individual lands and I think that's really awesome.
Same.
I'd love to see you photos
Cuckoo Kukri im literally as jealous as i possibly could be of you; on my last parks trip i forgot the trashcans were themed until my LAST DAY and now im lamenting the fact that i dont have pictures
@ That's called attention to detaIl, and a lot of people love that
No one will see this but I have to tell someone that the reason Carousel of Progress stops so much is because whenever someone goes out the emergency exit door in the middle of the ride the system freaks out and refuses to move because it doesn't want the hypothetical person at the door to get crushed, so it just starts the current scene again. Which people don't want to see again so...they go out the emergency exit. Which causes the scene to repeat again. So you get in a nightmare spiral of constant leaving and repeating, and the only ethical way out is to finish the whole thing, because otherwise you doom everyone else inside. It's Disney's marshmallow test
"Disney's marshmallow test" wow I love that description. I'm going to disney this winter and I'm personally very excited to ride carousel of progress
If you didn't have footage of a few of these rides I would've thought you had made them up.
I still don't believe any of them are real, and the fact that clear and obviously real video evidence is enough to sway your opinion shows that you are as weak as you are arrogant.
@@yusufkadar You know you can search these things up and see they are actually real, right? Why would she make up a restaurant or orange swirl for internet views?
@@jello_sauce I'm being very sarcastic
My favorite lame Disney activity is going on the Kilimanjaro Safari on a really hot day when most of the animals are sleeping, and then getting to listen to the tour guides awkwardly attempting to make jokes to fill the whole 30 minutes, since none of the animals are out. Disney World may be expensive, but you really can’t put a price on that kind of entertainment. I also love the audience participation part in Festival of the Lion King, because it’s always fun to hear that one poor audience member attempt to make “giraffe noises” into the microphone. Classic.
Angela Rose the Lion King show is awesome!
it’s funny cause for me those sound incredibly uncomfortable and will give me so much second hand embarrassment that i cannot handle. i just cannot be around improvised stuff because it can go wrong and then it’s awkward for everyone. glad you find it fun tho
These will all be back "in style" when they close. Just wait!
Oh, hey! I've watched your channel. They make cool videos.
Hey kevin perjurer
Because of Jenny, I got my whole family to eat at Cosmic Ray’s Starlight Cafe and listen to Sonny Eclipse for my birthday. I have never been more entranced and invested in a fast food animatronic and never will to that level ever again.
"The goats are only accessible by train" is a really funny sentence
Lame thing I do at Disney world: Not go there because I live in Scandinavia and fun is illegal and I can't find my way out of this forest so I can't leave
ingri_exists Same tbh.
ingri_exists aww, hope you're exaggerating
Christina Cope that’s illegal
Well you have Moomin World and Tivoli somewhat close by.
That comment was so fucking clever, I actually laughed and not just smirked at my screen.
This video needs a more confident title because these are absolutely the best reasons to visit Disney World without debate
I'll I could think was "she's just listing Rocco's favorite attractions." And here you are! Haha
Since I live near Disneyland, the Peoplemover, Carosel of Progress and the Country Bears are the main reason I want to go to the Magic Kingdom
Sounds as though it's been a while since you went, or you're saying you no longer have a reason to go. ???
Yea, none of these are lame, they're all great. Maybe I'm just a dork, but I'm ok with it!
I was going to say... for the first time in my life I want to go to Disney World now. I never liked Disney stuff and so I thought the whole thing would be corny as hell... and as it turns out, it *is*, and that's what makes it great.
Finally some Disney goat solidarity, literally so mad they took it from Disneyland :( A few years ago while at Disney my friend and I went to pet the goats, and whatever brand of sunscreen I had used that day, the goats LOVED the smell of. They kept rubbing their heads against my legs, I’m talking 5-6 goats (which was like, most of them) and it was the best day of my life
It was goats and BBQ- how much better could it get? I miss it so much!!
This is a great list for people who want to brag about having gone to closed attractions in like ten years.
Little early ay, Quinton? (Also i love your stuff)
Defunctland: Disney World Goats
Hi quinton reviews big fan love you
And I’ve seen the way you look at her
Captain Eo was the best.
A HIGHLY underrated thing to do at Disney world is talk to the staff at Epcot. These people are from all around the world, with different accents and it's soooo interesting!!
My family had so much fun just talking to the people who worked in Epcot to the point where I forgot we were in a theme park
@@galieguerrero7067 omg this would be my mum. Especially, if we found a fellow Scot working there.
Last time I went to the Germany pavilion the workers had no accents when speaking to customers but would suddenly switch to fluent German when speaking to each other. It was really surreal.
I smell an extrovert
My uncle when he brought his 5 year old to Epcot for the first time had her go up and introduce herself to the cast members from different countries because she had never really met anyone from outside the US before and it was a good learning experience for her to learn about their culture and hear their accents. I thought it was really sweet.
I love people mover! This lady in line had a shirt that said “meet me at the people mover” and that’s a true fan
Jenny watching the Bear Jamboree and whispering 'Yes' and 'I love him' has to be one of the most viscerally terrifying things I've ever seen.
Witness the fan film in the new video lol
I’ve only been to DidneyLand, but my favorite attraction is the SMELL of Pirates of the Caribbean. (I also enjoy the animatronic dog holding keys in his mouth, just outside reach of the pirate prisoners). But that smell, the mildew-y, woodsy, humid smell.. it’s everything to me. I feel immediate comfort and peace as soon as I get a lungful of the potentially toxic air.
Pirates at Disneyworld also has a VERY distinct smell but it's like this weird...fruity-ish smell. But not quite. I dont know what it is but I LIVE for it.
I agree! It's probably toxic air but do we care? No, not really. XD
@@meagan4605 it's actually bromine! It's what they use to treat the water instead of chlorine
The first time I rode Pirates of the Caribbean was in '94 and I was particularly tickled by the jail dog. So when the film released I got an extra chuckle when Jack gave his line, "You can keep doing that forever. That dog is never going to move." :D
Psychedelic Feline bro. Check out the magic candle company- they have the exact smell in candle form
Your guttural "YESSSS" when that bear came out 😂👌
this video hits different now so here are my favs:
- the fountain of nations at epcot. makes me feel at peace
- the queue for pirates of the carribean. roaming through echo-ey pirate tunnels is fun in itself
- the finding nemo aquarium
rip fountain of nations :'(
But we are getting the EPCOT obelisk fountain back!
The Nemo aquarium has to be my favorite for sure
I doubt you'll ever see this but I just want you to know that this video inspired an essay I wrote in my final year at university that I aced, which contributed to me getting one of the best degrees of my peers. Specifically, it was the PeopleMover section. Rewatching this made me smile.
im so desperate to know with the essay was about????
@@bug3196 It's difficult to explain without writing paragraphs of text, but it was for a humanities (liberal arts) degree and it was basically about "the slow cancellation of the future". I drew on the example that the futuristic world promised by Walt Disney World through its Peoplemover, Tomorrowland and EPCOT attractions is now itself a relic of the past. It also talked about how the present is "haunted" by the ghost of this future. Jenny's video inspired me to write that essay.
@@hotelmario510 No way, that’s so cool! I love hearing about works inspired by Mark Fisher’s ideas
@@hotelmario510 that sounds interesting! Could you please share a link?
@@hotelmario510 can you share it with us pls?
10. Unlimited soda at the hotels, but only at the hotels.
9. Riding the monorail through the Contemporary Resort Hotel.
8. The absolutely terrible dessert you get for free by wearing a birthday pin. I got a cookie with whipped cream on it.
7. That ride in Hollywood Studios where the ride operator has to interact with the animatronic villains from the movies and then a second operator shows up halfway through.
6. The Enchanted Tiki Birds is never interesting but completely unskippable.
5. Swiss Family Robinson treehouse, where you basically are in a line with some interesting props the whole way through.
4. Character breakfasts as an adult couple with no kids.
3. The Hall of Presidents, which even before our current administration was incredibly long and slow and weirdly exciting, waiting to see if Harding would cough or whatever.
2. The Land tour, where you pay extra to be taken through the gardens where they grow a surprisingly large amount of lettuce served in EPCOT.
1. Finding every penny-squishing machine in the park, where it costs 51cents for a souvenir you made yourself and will probably leave in the pile of change you’ve added to the tip for housekeeping.
Have you ever gone on the land tour at night? Since it is basically a greenhouse lit by the sun, it becomes a bit creepy in the dark.
xingcat or eating at the character breakfasts with your parents as an adult...because that’s what I do.
So uh... about 7....
It's closed.
In reference to #10 on the list, does this mean the hallways and lobby of said hotel are filled with children bouncing off the walls?
TheValiant also when it was open, there weren't two operators. Your operator just runs through the backstage area to meet you at the next stop
The jungle cruise is excellent, not for the ride but just because one time I went on it and the guy told the jokes with absolutely no expression and nobody laughed except for me. Greatest experience ever.
HG_winchester, the people at Skipper's canteen are really funny as well!
this sounds freaking hilarious
I unironically love the Jungle Cruise
i accidentally heckled the chick working there trying to come up with a pun of my own and the dead look in her eyes was a transformative experience as the rest of the boat guffawed on
Okay so I had a similar experience when I was really little bc I demanded to be in the front of the boat and the guide actually started talking to me the entire ride through and I remember milking every second of the attention. I was adorably laughing and loudly asking about each animal
There's this theme park near me (it's in the Netherlands) and it's called the Efteling, and every time I go there, I force my friends to go into the fairy tale forest with me, which is just a forest filled with scenes from fairy tales, but like the creepy European Grimm brothers version, and it's magical. Along the path, there are these huge toadstools that play music by Beethoven and the scenes all have animatronics and loads of details
Ohhhh it sounds amazing
That forest is so fucking weird ngl. Been inside only once it creeps me out even though I’m familiar with all the Grimm tales. Also the old trash cans that could talk made me feel uneasy. Don’t know if they still exist, haven’t been in a while. Greets from Germany btw ;)
@@skyzgone2953 most of the trash cans are baskets now. I agree that most of the older animatronics look hella creepy, especially Rumpelstiltskin. That's part of the charm tho
JustPip that sounds terrifying but also amazing
That sounds incredible!
My favourite underrated attraction at disney is the elderly manatees. It's been like 8 years so I don't remember clearly, but somewhere in the animal kingdom there's a building built into a real wetland, where they take care of sick or elderly manatees. They are peace in animal form.
My dad's favourite attraction at Disney is the people mover, so I'm glad to see it getting some love. And I have such nostalgic memories of 4-year-old me losing it over Sonny Eclipse.
I love Country Bear Jamboree because half the audience members around me have no clue what's going on and it's like two shows in one.
One day Jenny's videos will be so full of plushies that we won't even be able to see her
She was in the video?
Oh wow I thought this was just a voice over.......
she will have become a space angel
gotta die of something.
A future to dream of
Given what we have learned about Jenny in the last few years re: her work in the petting zoo and her love for arachnids, I nominate that the goats and spiders train ber renamed to the Jenny Nicholson Express
boost!!!
yes, should be done in the honor of her death
By far the most underrated and disrespected ride at Disney was Ellen’s Energy Adventure. It had Ellen before her decline into infamy, Bill Nye the Science Guy, a Jeopardy dream sequence with mustachioed Alex Trebek and DINOSAURS. It was a lovely 40 minute ride in air conditioning with no line and it was perfect. I will miss you till the day I die Energy Adventure.
The original ride before Ellen was better. Universe of Energy.
"Its better than not being there~" what an interesting take. Travel through time just to hang out
3:06 Trapped In A People Mover With Jenny Nicholson
There are worse places to be...
There make be goats!
On the Carousel of Progress, it’s the AUDIENCE (not the set) that’s rotating. A technical marvel. Now that’s what I call progress.
If the audience is rotating, wouldn't it technically be precess?
I'm not crazy! All these years i thought the sense of motion was an illusion!
These seem like good “I’m tired but I spent all this money to come here so I wanna do something” activities
Number 11
Get the Catflu
Seriously, this is quality.
Number 11. The Cat Flu. The last thing you want on your Disney World vacation is someone's Cat Flu.
At as it turns oUt that might be what you gEt
“i really wish real artists’ songs were uncomfortably autobiographical to this degree.”
*sufjan stevens has entered the chat*
Jenny singing along to the animatronics just reminds me that she sang and did like 90% of the voices in Friendship is Witchcraft. And I love that.
I had no idea! I just found her channel a week or two ago while watching other videos about Disney World but I remember watching Friendship is Witchcraft from years ago! I should go re-watch it!
Seeing that you commented this 11 months ago and not two weeks ago just made my brain glitch
Her singing in Friendship is Witchcraft is great! She could easily do voiceover for animation.
My favourite lame thing at Disneyland (I only went once when I was a kid) was the birds that were just like chillin around. I love birds.
I'm still holding out hope that we get a drama about the history of Sonny Eclipse and Cosmic Ray.
Rob Plays ROB!!!!!
I knew once she brought up Sonny Eclipse that Rob would show up eventually.
I LOVE to go to Tom Sawyer's Island. It feels so much more isolated and wilderness-y than Disneyland's. Also they still have a open fort WITH guns that make shooting sounds when you pull the trigger.
It's just the best.
It would pretty much have to be better than the Country Bears movie.
yes i need to know the *full* sonny eclipse lore
I went to USJ in Japan, to Harry Potter world.
I spent 4 hours in Harry Potter world.
I didn't go on rides.
I don't like Harry Potter.
I didn't buy one of their interactive wands (although I did watch other people do the thing)
Mostly I just looked at EVERY location way too closely. All the little details were amazing.
I had a blast, and would love to go back.
You’re my favourite kind of person ♥️
My sister and I were on spaceship earth and I accidentally pressed the button to listen in Portuguese and then my sister started having an asthma attack in the middle of the slowest ride at Disney World
This sounds like a fever dream
Sorry, I laughed. Hope your sister's alright,
My favorite lame thing to do every time I went to Disneyland was to walk through Innoventions.
Until they turned it into a Marvel movie prop museum and then closed it down. I miss you, Innoventions.
same :(
same! innoventions was interesting and a fun way to kill some time.
I miss it so much! I basically see no point in going to tomorrow land anymore (minus space mountain) especially if I’m only there for a day
I saw the Country Bear Jamboree attraction when I was a small child. It brought me to tears. Not from enjoyment, but pure fear.
"I was so relieved when he got to that song because I would not have tolerated that kind of plot hole in my fast food animatronic entertainment."
I love it! I always dig your sense of humor (:
I feel that this video really gives us depth and insight into Jenny's... character.
One of my favorite memories from going to Disneyland when I was 14 was this super lame, clearly for very small children, Winnie the Pooh ride. It was one of those fairytale rides where you're in a seat booth thing (a beehive) and you get slowly moved through a dark space between scenes with slightly moving robots and lots of music and narration. My family was so bored, but I wanted to go five times. It was friendly and slow and peaceful and I had just been forced onto a roller coaster and needed time to recover.
Winnie the Pooh is my favorite ride in all Disney, so you're not alone!
as someone who hates rollercoasters, this all sounds genuinely incredible
Most theme parks seem to only exist to make the biggest and baddest rollar coasters. Which is why Disney has always stuck out
I'm going on my first ever trip to Disney in just a few weeks, and I'm stupidly excited about the bathrooms, because I've heard they're nice. I just feel that well-maintained bathrooms take an experience to the next level and I don't care how that sounds.
Well, how where they?
How were they Amanda?
@@raymyth767 She was so enraptured by the bathrooms that she decided to stay. Workers discovered her ambling from bathroom to bathroom, without using them, hours after the park had closed. They weren't sure how she'd avoided detection and she was basically catatonic but they eventually provided her with a uniform, a towel, a toothbrush, and a spray bottle of bleach water. Some say that she's still diligently helping to keep the park bathrooms spotless to this very day...
the rapunzel bathrooms in fantasy land are gorgeous!!!!! please make sure you check those out
Your description of "orange swirl" soft-serve resonated with me: "I keep getting them, even if I'm not like feeling it, if I'm full, if I'm cold, I will get them anyway because I know I can't get them at home." This is exactly how I feel about egg salad sandwiches from convenience stores in Japan. I am not exaggerating when I say that I average one a day every time I come here (and I've been here for 90 days on this current visit). If I see one I will buy it, even if I just had one 12 hours ago, or I'm not really in the mood. I will buy and eat it just because I know I can't find its equal in the US. And the thing is, I seldom eat egg salad sandwiches in the US unless I make my own, and the egg salad I make is nothing like the somewhat bland egg salad they have in those sandwiches.
Hmmm, I live on Oahu and we (used to) get a lot of Japanese tourists and there are also many American's of Japanese descent living here for generations as well. Because of this, we have quite a few Japanese-style things on offer here to cater to both of these groups as well as the "local" population that has become a true melting pot of various cultures. It's actually one of the best things about living here. At least for this haole from the mainland, it is. It's like what the rest of the US would be like if we truly were the country that we sell ourselves as to the rest of the world and our own citizenry (at least in this one respect. We still have plenty of the same problems as the rest of the country). But I digress... The point I wanted to bring up is that I love egg salad sandwiches. I never really thought about Japan being a place for a great egg salad sandwich, but now that you mention it, it seems like the kind of thing that they would excel at. Especially of the pre-packaged, convenience store variety. And now that I think of it I know I've seen them in ABC Stores and 7-11s. I'm sure they have the same quality Japanese-style egg salad sandwiches here for all these reasons, or if just to cater to the Japanese tourist market for a little piece of home while abroad. So now I must seek out these egg salad sandwiches locally and have one today! I will report back on my success or failures. Is there anything I should look for in seeking out the perfect specimen? Aloha and Mahalo Nui Loa!
Have you tried the egg sald sandwich on the Shinkansen bullet train snack trolley? OMG it is to die for. Lighter than air bread, perfect egg salad mix, crusts cut off, it is the best egg sald sandwich I have ever had. I dream of it still.
This was me in Tokyo with the 7 eleven food 🤣. Like idc if there were better and healthier bentos at better restaurants, the convenient store meals just hit different.
Id be too scared to buy an egg salad sandwich at a convenience store here in canada
idk how no one has said this but in my experience the secret is kewpie mayonnaise which uses the whole egg rather than just the whites. its so rich and creamy
I used to love going on Ellen's Energy ride when I was chaperoning field trips to Epcot. Hanging out with high schoolers all day was exhausting and the Ellen ride was like a half hour of dark cool rooms that you go slowly through and you have plenty of room to lie down because no one else was on it. I can't do it anymore because my wife is no longer a choir teacher and I think they closed that ride.
This is the best answer I've seen so far.
Yeah they’re replacing the ride with the Guardians of the Galaxy roller coaster, which I am super excited about, but I will miss the old one :( it taught about renewable energy right? I’m pretty sure it helped educate me when I was little
@@Lov3lyDay i think it briefly mentioned renewable energy, but it was mostly about fossil fuels (hence the dinosaur part)
@@andrewi.crocker8675 the ride was sponsored by Exxon-Mobile, so you can guess why it leaned onto fossil fuels, but it was about energy in general.
Here’s some of my favorite lame things in Disneyland:
-the bootstrappers, it’s the pirate band in New Orleans square and I love them an unhealthy amount
- cars land. Cars land at day? Wonderful, feels so much like a small highway town in southern Utah. Cars land at night? Life changing. Just like, go sit outside of flo’s V8 and just chill, or like just behind the cozy cone lobby building? It’s so nice I love it there.
- the benches next to the rivers of America at the intersection of new Orleans square, frontier land, and adventure land. Something interesting is always going on, wether it’s the bootstrappers (my beloved) the jazz band at the French market, the mark twain, something on Tom sawyers island, characters coming in and from the three themed areas, the smell of the popcorn cart and pirates? It’s just the prime Disneyland spot.
Drinking that one Italian soda in Club Cool in Epcot. Tastes like carbonated rubbing alcohol. I made my whole family drink it. It sucks, 10/10!
Trohmosexual Beverly!! Likewise, the best part is making all your friends and family try it while filming their live reaction. 👌🏼
Somebody I worked with would suggest it to anybody who would listen. He didn't mind drinking it so he'd 'demo' it first, then just revel in their reactions.
It's not even bitter to me XD We have a similar drink in my country (New Zealand) named "Indian Tonic Water". The taste is from quinine, which can stop fever.
Thought u were talking about san pelligrino and was about to throw hands
Beverly is delicious, I make a point to have a few cups every time I'm in EPCOT. I wish I could get it to have at home.
I totally get how little kids could feel cheated after riding Spaceship Earth because of the name, but I’ve always loved how it was named for a concept with such optimism. Adlai Stevenson said it best: “We travel together, passengers on a little space ship, dependent on its vulnerable reserves of air and soil; all committed for our safety to its security and peace; preserved from annihilation only by the care, the work, and, I will say, the love we give our fragile craft. We cannot maintain it half fortunate, half miserable, half confident, half despairing, half slave-to the ancient enemies of man-half free in a liberation of resources undreamed of until this day. No craft, no crew can travel safely with such vast contradictions. On their resolution depends the survival of us all.”
me and my brother were SO OBSESSED with it when we were little. so much so that our parents let us go in by ourselves TWICE IN A ROW even though we were like 6 and 12.
You might enjoy R Buckminster Fuller's book Operating Manual For Spaceship Earth.
I enjoy memorizing all those "for your safety" messages before you get on a ride so I can prefectly mouth them along with the speaker and feel proud of myself.
"Or as my friend Genie likes to say!..."
I know the haunted mansion one by heart “Take your loved ones by the hand, please, and watch your step. Oh yes, and no flash pictures, please. We spirits are frightfully sensitive to bright lights. Do not pull down on the safety bar, please. I will lower it for you. And heed this warning: the spirits will materialize only if you remain seated with your hands, arms, feet, and legs inside. And watch your children, please.”
And that's Paul Frees, doing the Narration, so it's even better.
Disneyland's Pirates has the best safety narration, from the horrifying talking skull, you get two different ones depending on timing.
But Big Thunder's is obviously the most quotable.
"Howdy partners. For your safety, make sure you have your hands, arms, feet, and legs, inside the vehicle, and be sure to watch your kids! If you have any hats or glasses, best to remove them, cuz this here's the WILDEST RIDE inna WILDERNESSSSSSSSSSSSSS"
I was the biggest baby when I was a kid and afraid of almost every ride at Disney or any other amusement park. You basically just gave a list of my top 10 favorite Disney attractions from childhood.
when my friend and I went she really loves Tangled so when we got to the Tangled area (I guess, it's just like a town center square like thing with old castle buildings surrounding the circle floor outside) anyway, she freaked out and me and my other friend had to just kinda stand there while she "soaked in the view and feels" of her fav place on earth. she'd never been to disney world before so we actually had to do that for a lot of the special areas but that one took the longest by far. i will say it was kinda cute watching this 22 year old girl just standing in the center of the street just smiling at everything and taking deep dramatic breaths of air lol but i bet people thought me and my other friend were her parents or something just standing awkwardly off to the side taking pics for her
hey, to be fair, the air conditioning in the carousel of progress has saved me multiple times when it’s 90+ degrees in florida
So in Disney there's supposed to be trashcans within something like 27-30 ft of you at all times. So whenever we go, at any time anyone of us can say "trashcan" to another, and that person must stop, find the closest trashcan, and count how many steps away it is. None of us have ever passed 22 steps, and we were passholders for 3 years.
A couple things happened to me on one really good trip:
First, I went to California Adventure to attend a showing at the Animation Academy. At that time I was dreaming of becoming a Disney animator, so of course I just loved the show itself. But then the guy conducting the class (Noel I think) brought me up to his desk afterward and gave me a couple of his drawings and this amazing "follow your dreams" speech. Still have his drawings and the pics I got with him ten years later. Super lovely man. I think he's still doing the classes too, so y'all should check him out after COVID's under control.
And later that night, back in Disneyland, I went to the Golden Horseshoe Saloon. I went buy my parents a couple sodas, only to have the cashier be like "oh hey you're the 100th customer today" and they gave me a free banana split (maybe it was ice cream nachos??). Me, a temporarily unsupervised 12-year-old, was given this massive bowl of ice cream and left to my own devices.
It goes without saying that while the scenery, the treats, the shows, the rides all make for a great experience, it's the employees that make it a perfect experience. So thank you to the Disney employees that make each trip special.
My parents took me to Disney when i was like 7 and what I remember most is unfortunately the carousel of progress. My dad saw it and RAN to it like it was gonna be the best fucking ride and we all regretted it as soon as we were trapped in there.
After it rotated to the 4th scene or so he leaned over to my mum and just whispered “I’m really sorry.”
as a florida resident and disney passholder, you are 100% right, this is/was the best stuff about disney
I love how she describes everything in depth, I don't know if she's being ironic or not.
That is the joy of watching Jenny's videos: you can't really tell what is ironic or sarcastic or just funny.
I think she does actually ironically enjoy these attractions, and is being tongue in cheek about it.
"I could be on the roller coaster, but I like to go pet the goats."
This girl enjoys the simple pleasures in life. She's earned my respect.
This would probably be called top 10 guilty pleasures, if Jenny felt the least bit ashamed about them
My Favorite "Lame" Things To Do At Disney In No Particular Order
1. Explore Restaurantasaurus and Columbia Harbor House
2. Ride Spaceship Earth (which is an attraction I've loved since I was like five)
3. Get carrot cake cookies at The Writer's Stop (RIP)
4. Watch the street shows throughout World Showcase
5. Visit Club Cool
6. Not sure how boring other park-goers think this is, but I really like looking around at the queues for Expedition Everest and Jungle Cruise.
Also thank you for reminding me how much fun Country Bears Jamboree is!
i LOVE most queues at disney ?? space mountain is my favorite but most of them are just so cool ??? im never bored its great
i remember being 14 and slowing the line down at Expedition Everest bc i wanted to read the things on the wall
Hooray People Mover! Last time I was on that myself and my colleagues pretended it was a high speed roller coaster and we all had our arms up and were hootin' and hollering as if we were going 70 mph not 7... until one of the park employees yelled at us over a hidden loudspeaker to cut it out and put our arms down.
That's it. That's what my entire next trip will be comprised of
A sense of humor. Did that cast member even have one?
J. Tiberius Kirk I sat on it for two hours once just zoning out and was like fuck it’s closing time.
lol you are so radical
