My mom became a single mom when I was 6 and my siblings were 4 and 1. She didn't have any extra money, but she had a love of Disney and we watched all the Disney movies growing up. When I was 10, she decided to plan a trip to Disneyland, "It's now or never" she said. It was the most amazing place I had ever seen. I just remember feeling like I had been transported into this magical land. My mom was buying several souvenirs which was unlike her because I knew she didn't have extra funds. When I asked her why she was she said, "This may be the last time I ever come here." I told her that was silly and of course at the very least when I grew up I would take her with me. She was diagnosed with cancer about a year and half later and passed away soon afterwards. It was the only vacation I ever went on with my mom, and somehow I think she knew she would never be back. The home we lived in was just a rental and is long gone, so I feel like I remember her best on the streets of Disneyland, or riding Big Thunder Mountain, her favorite.
I grew up on Disney as a child in the 1960's. I remember when Walt was alive and I used to remember seeing him introduce his weekly anthology show on Sunday evening. My first trip to Disneyland was in 1963 and my parents told me my eyes opened as never before and was obsessed with Disney ever since. I'm now 64 years old and still love Disney. I hope that however you celebrate the holidays, you have peace, hope and joy.
My mom was a single mom. I had no siblings at the time, so it was just her and I. However, my grandparents were very involved since we lived with them. So with that being said, I had another mom and I gained a father. Not only was I the first grandchild, but I was born on his birthday. So he was in love with me as I with him. My Grandpa was and will forever be my father in my eyes. For a Christmas present, he took us all to Disneyland on 1/1/91. I was 3 years old and it was my first Disneyland trip. I made beautiful memories with my grandpa that day. My fondest memory was riding King Arthur’s carousel with him right next to me and enjoying time with him. Then leaving that afternoon with a pink Mickey balloon as the perfect souvenir. I grew to love Disney soo much after my trip. I consider it my second home. As time went on, of course nature takes its course. My grandpa unfortunately got diagnosed with liver cancer on March 9, 2017. Drs told us he had 6 months to live. So we knew we had to spend each and every moment we could with him. So what better way to enjoy family time? A trip to Disneyland! Of course my grandpa was not as strong anymore so we had him in a wheelchair, but we made sure he got on every ride he wanted. That included King Arthur’s carousel. When I asked him if he wanted to stay in his wheelchair or try to get on one of the horses, he immediately said, “I want to get on a horse”. So, we made that happen. Man oh man was he sooo happy. He looked like a little kid having the best time of his life. Once the ride was over, I made sure I took a picture of us together one last time to remember this beautiful moment. Exactly 6 months later, 2 weeks shy of our birthday- he passed away. To keep the tradition going , I bought him the same pink Mickey balloon he bought me on my first trip. Now that I have my own family, we ride the carousel in memory of him and my son rides on the same horse my grandpa did. Every year for our birthday/anniversary, I buy a pink Mickey balloon for my grandpa and cherish it til it no longer floats. I have beautiful memories and I’m so blessed to have and cherish forever.
I was the child of a single mother. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to go to Disneyland. We were just too poor. In 1973, the man who would become my father took a wrecked van and a wrecked trailer and built a motor home over that winter. In our driveway. In 1974, he took mom and 5year old me to Disneyland in that homemade motor home. Every time I take my family to a Disney park, I am reminded of the love and kindness he showed a little boy he owed nothing to. Disneyland will always have a special place in my heart.
I took my wife here in 1974 for her 1st time at Disneyland for our honeymoon. We have been coming back many times over the years with our kids and now grandkids. This June we will be back just the 2 of us for our 50th anniversary.
I grow up with Disney and always wanted to go there but from the uk it was a once in a lifetime experience, when I got married my wife’s dream was to go to Disney, we went to to Disney world in 1990 and was blown away , and said we must go to the original and we did on are 25 anniversary, and we loved it , there is no feeling like the one you get when you first see the castle, we❤Disney.
I love Disneyland! My oldest son was disabled. I raised my two sons as a single Mom. Money was tight! As my kids grew up, I volunteered at their school and one year all the teachers got together and gave us a trip to Disneyland!!! I nearly passed out! Well, long story short, my son had the best time! He is no longer with us, but we rode Peter Pan so many times! So, now, when I go back, I head straight for Peter Pan and the memories and the magic fill my heart! That’s why I love Disney! This year I am taking my younger son and family to Disneyland. It will be the trip of a lifetime!
In 2010, I went through an ugly divorce. I have three daughters that decided to stay with me. Disneyland was our place to get away and have those special moments without having to think about the ugliness we were all going through and to this day we still make the time 15 years later to all go to Disney together and share those special moments and create new ones but now with new grand kids. I think it’s safe to say that we are a Disney family though and true. Disneyland got us through those tough times, and was and is our special place to be together.
I’ve always wanted to work at Disneyland since 8 years old because of the castmembers always made me feel acknowledged and made my experiences at Disneyland magical. Now as a castmember I make sure I acknowledge my little guest (children) and their families being as pleasant and welcoming as possible. Whenever I see you and your family I always thank you for being kind to our guests and making videos to share the magic at Disneyland. I appreciate working at Disneyland and I enjoy making magic for all of our guests they’re all family to me ❤🙏🏾
Thank you. I have older kids with hidden disabilities and problems and cast members have been so kind and respectful to them. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Disney cast members are great!!!
Disneyland… when I walk through the gate and under the sign (you all know which one) I’m no longer an adult who knows about 9/11 or school shooters or divorces or hateful people… I’m 7 again when my world was perfect. All my family was alive, I was safe and worry wasn’t a thing. I was just happy then, pure joyfulness. I feel all that again when I go and get to see all the kids, my baby sister and then later her kids (my beautiful nephews) & all the kids I see when I visit the park. Seeing kids believing in the magic and that they could do or be anything….it heals my hardened heart. 🧡🖤🧡
I am from New Zealand, so Disneyland is a long way for us to visit. As a family our only exposure to Disney was watching Disney's Sunday night movies as we didn't travel overseas, that was too expensive when we were growing up. It was always somewhere I wanted to visit and ten years ago I brought my family to Disneyland and loved it. In 24 days (not that I am counting) we are coming back with our youngest child who doesn't remember it from ten years ago. We are all really looking forward to it. I love your video's, as some one that only gets to Disneyland rarely they are a valuable source of information.
Hi Chris, I’m currently 70 years old and my first visit to Disneyland in 1956 and while I don’t remember it we do have home movies. Living in Minnesota, driving to SoCal is a major trip, but every year from age 3 to 20 we took family summer vacations and over the years we’ve taken every possible route always ending with several days at Disneyland. Every year as vacation time drew closer the anticipation of going to Disneyland was for a kid in the early 1960’s indescribable. We never had a lot of money for souvenirs but one year after watching the gas powered model airplane demonstration. My dad purchased a a gas powered model airplane that would fly on a string. After getting home my dad an I had many hours of fun flying that plane
My husband took me to Disneyland on one of our first dates. There is something special about falling in love there. We have been married over 40 years. Our health and mobility doesn’t allow us to have yearly passes anymore, so we really enjoy your videos.
When I was a kid, I didn't see my dad much because he was working 12 hour days to support us, but every Saturday morning, I would wake up and run downstairs and we would watch a Disney movie together. It was the best part of my whole childhood.
My parents took me to Disneyland for my birthday 3 years in a row. I was born 2 days after Christmas. So for my 12th, 13th, and 14th birthdays, we went to Disneyland. It was so great. This was before it was popular to go to Disneyland for Christmas. On rainy, drizzly, foggy days, it was like we had the park to ourselves. We would ride all our favorite rides over and over again. It still makes me smile thinking about those times.
Chris, please never worry about your walk and talk videos. They’re great and I enjoy them very much 🤗🧡 I have a lot of wonderful Disney memories. A very special one of them is from ages ago. As an adult, I got to go to Disneyland (before there was even a DCA) with my mom. Just the two of us.! It was awesome!!! We had a wonderful time! We’ll never be able to do that again though, as she can no longer travel 😢Very happy to have that very cherished memory 🤗💛
My family didn’t have a lot when we were growing up. But one of my earliest memories was when my parents took my twin brother and I for a Disneyland vacation for our 4th, birthday. It was the only vacation we had as a family that wasn’t camping in the woods! I’ve been as an adult a few times sinceand it brings back those special memories each time! 💕 I was able to bring my own children when they were little. Walking through the gates with them for the first time at night with the music and lights brought tears to my eyes as we got to re-experience the park through them. I’m coming back for my 50th birthday next spring!
For me. I just like disney parks and visiting theme parks like the dutch Efteling. Because i was extremly bullied and did not have a great time as a kid. But like you always say. Things do get better! I love visiting these parks alone or with my wife and kids. And enjoy how they enjoy. Feeling like a kid again. Feeling positive energy. So i can charge my emotional battery and do my best in daily life. The first time i visited a disney themepark i was 17. And it just made me feel better after all the hard and bad times. And gave me a relief inside. And my grand dad noticed that. And let me promise i would visit a themepark at least once a year if i could. Because it made me smile
Eating breakfast at Goofy’s kitchen warms my heart so much because it brings back such great memories of when my children were little and they were so excited to be at Disneyland. Loved the interaction with the characters too, especially Cruella de Vil!
I read many comments before writing my own. I too grew up in 60’s. My early life was in Bakersfield and in winter the sun would not shine. My folks loved driving to Anaheim to get some sun. Disneyland was so magic and my dad had me convinced that everything was real. Now I pass that love on to my grandkids.
My fondest childhood memories are ladened with Disney. From gathering around the TV as a family to watch a Wonderful World of Disney to my Dad surprising us with an impromptu trip to Disneyland (we lived in San Diego) and spending the night at the Little Boy Blue motel...and then as a grown up asking my nieces and nephews on their 1st trip to Disney, my life is full of Disney memories. My husband and I even spent part of our honeymoon at Disneyland as an homage to my parents honeymooning at Disneyland in 1967. It's truly a magical place!!
As a kid, my family would always watch "The Wonderful World of Disney " on Sunday evenings, but what really sold me on Disney was in 2000, we took our kids to Disneyland. My youngest was 4 years old, and we were walking down Main Street. We saw Tigger inside the Plaza Inn, and I pointed him out to my son. Tigger stopped what he was doing and looked out the window and waved at my child. It made the morning magical, and it is still one of our favorite memories as a family.
My Aunt worked at Disneyland and took me often when i was young. She was able to get me into backstage areas that instead of ruining the magic made me appreciate it more. She has been a second mother to me and instilled in me a love for Disney; especially for the smaller details.
Came to Disneyland for the first time in 89’ (I was a little girl) and to this day I remember how magical everything was! I would return every year with my family and every time it just had all the feels. I then found a fascination for the amazing man behind it all and my love grew even more. Now I go with my husband and son (named after Walt) every year for our vacation and it’s HOME ❤
Growing up in 70 are parents would take us twice a year following tradition I would take my kids 3 4 times a year now that dads gone to haven. Need to go religiously for good memories.
Disney is one of the places where I am completely relaxed. It’s comparable to sitting on a beach or a mountain top. All the cares and worries of the world disappear and you are in the moment entirely. No matter how hot or crowded, it feels like home. That’s my Disney Magic.
Disney reminds me of my grandma. She took me on one of my birthday’s back in the 90’s and I fell in love with it ever since. I just went again this year in April, and when I visit I go immediately to the two rides she loved - pirates and haunted mansion 🥹💕✨I miss her so much. When I go I feel like I’m honoring her and continuing the traditions of attending Disneyland in our family 🥰💕🥹😭💕
My dad was a huge Disney fan. We could only afford two trips to Disneyland when I was growing up, but it stayed with me. The last time I went to Disneyland with my dad, he was in his 70s. He was such a trooper, and kept up with me and my sisters and our families. We have so many stories and fond memories of that trip.
The Disney magic was passed on to me by my parents even though they are not fans. But since I was a little kid they used to take me to Disneyland and bought me several VHS of the renaissance period. Since then, I started going back to Disneyland when I finished medical school. Recently, I have passed the magic of visiting the DLR to my girlfriend that is a huge Mickey Mouse fan. We just visited for out first Holiday season and it was beautiful beyond words.
Disney to me means that no matter how old I am, I’m always a child at heart. This is how I feel every time I’m at a Disney Park and happy that I get to share this feeling with my daughters and soon, my grandson.
My whole family grew up in So Cal. My aunt was the one who took me to Disney, for any reason imaginable (yay for the 90s! lol). My aunt was already a big Disney nerd and had loved it entirely. She was very heartbroken when she decided to move to Utah (we all moved) and she hasnt gone back to Disneyland since 2004. I went back once in 2006. Then years later I found this lovely channel, PPP. I watched it frequently on my own and decided to share it with my aunt as well. She loves Provost Park Pass because it feels like getting to see a place she feels is home and see some as excited about the park as she is. This past year, I got to return home and share my love Disneyland with my wife and daughter, neither have been before, to celebrate the kid's 10th birthday. My wife talks non stop about going and the kid was happy there and now idk how she feels back at home.
I have way too many wonderful memories to choose just one, but I can tell you something my husband did to make sure Disneyland will always be extra special for me. He purchased a brick with our names on it that sits between Disneyland and CA Adventure. It's the first place we go before going into the park. Having a piece of me that never leaves Disneyland is the best feeling, especially when I'm missing it, or our trips are too far apart. Chris, I hope you and your family have the most amazing holiday. Thanks for all the giggles and smiles you've given me this year. Your videos are a great pick-me-up when life is full of chaos. 🥰
I was born in 1959. Disneyland was one of the first family vacations I remember. We only went once or twice as a family. In HS my marching band performed at Disney!! I have taken my family many (many) times and have passed my love of Disney on to my daughters, especially my youngest! I love it when I walk onto Main Street and hear the sounds and music. I just feel happy!!
Going to Disneyland as a child with my parents was a disaster. Later as an adult going with my wife and now with our daughter I love the park. It's such a great escape for us . Especially for me as a Paramedic for the last 25 years it's a break from reality and stress.
I’m a second generation Cast Member(former now). My dad worked at Disneyland in the 1960’s and I worked at Disneyland and DCA in the late 2000’s. My dad grew up in LA and was fortunate enough to see DL open. My love stemmed from being fortunate enough to start my childhood in LA and how many times I got to go to DL in the 80’s. After we moved away we still went regularly and were AP holders. I wanted to be a cast member since I was a kid and I moved back to live my dream. I had to leave Orange County but it was the best work experience ever!!!
Hi Chris, my love for Disney has been around since I was a young child (3 years old was when I took my first trip with my grandparents and aunts.) My grandpa passed his love of Disney onto me. I remember watching the classic Mickey cartoons (like through the looking glass) and of course the classic Princess movies and the renaissance era movies. I’ve been obsessed ever since. My love for Disney has grown even more since my grandpa passed in 2016 and I’ve just not ever wanted to let go of that love!
It feels like magic, I remember loving my first (so far only trip) to a Disney park 1996 and it still resonates. The movies make me happy. Watching your videos make me smile each time. THANK YOU 😊
Hi Chris, this is Letty I want to thank you for taking the time to say hi at the 15 min. parking lot. My first time going to Disneyland was when I was 12 years old, my dad and mom took me and my brothers, from then on I loved disney, when I was in high school there was a program called ROP and they had a class called Disneyland I took the class and was trained everywhere in the park and 10 years later I finally got my dream job, working at Disneyland! It's been 20 years since and I'm still very happy working for the mouse.
My love for Disney started with my parents. I like to say that I work so that I can give my a dog a happy life and so that I can go to Disneyland with my husband and/or my family. Also - Chris, thank you for existing and spreading positivity in this world. I hope you know how appreciated you are. ❤
I was 12 when I1st went to Disneyland. I remember being in Tomorrowland and spinning in a circle looking up around and thinking this is the best place ever. I remember being by the rockets 🚀 I stoll think it's the best place ever. I've been taking my nieces and nephew's for yhe past 20 years 😊❤
I love Disney because of memories growing up with my Mom. We watched the Wide World of Disney together every week and in the summer, she bought me Disney magazines that were sold through Gulf stations. I was fascinated by all things Disneyland, I remember the article about cleaning up gum! We never went to Disneyland but Mom, Grandma, and I went to the NY World's Fair and I saw Mr. LIncoln, Small World, the dinosaurs, and the Carousol of Progress. I got three souvenirs-an embroidered Peter Pan hat, a pennant that had candy in its hollow flag pole, and an extruded wax dinosaur. I've been to Disneyland quite a few times and I have four days reserved in April! and I'll remember Mom when I ride Small World. Thanks, Chris.
I was born a year before Disneyland opened and grew up visiting the park from about 5 years old and still go now that I am almost 70. I remember Frontierland the most. Loved the mule ride and the Indians the best. I also remember the mermaids in the lagoon of the submarine ride and the motor boats near by. My father enjoyed Disneyland as much as I did and I remember his joy when we would visit. I have passed on my love of all things Disney to my husband, children, their spouses, and my grands. Thank you Uncle Walt as we called him for sharing his special place with all of us.
My first trip to Disneyland was at 5 years old in 1975 and continue to visit ever since! I grew up on the Mickey Mouse Club and Sunday night World of Disney movies. I’ve gone with family, extended family, school trips, girlfriends and now with my own family. And 2 my girls LOVE Disney too, their first trip was at 3 years old and 1 year old. The magic we feel as soon as walking on property always brings us to tears ❤. We’ve come to love the sights, sounds, food and everything else. Can’t wait to go again in a couple of months!
Hello Chris, Love your work. I got my Disney Magic from my mom. I lost it in my early 20s. Then the Frist time I took my kids to Disneyland it came right back. Living it thought them is pure magic. My favorite memory, Was last year for my daughters 5th birthday she did Bippi bobbidi boutique. The magic that was there was breath taking.
As a child, my parents brought me to Disney every other year. It was always magical because we were always happy together, and my father, who worked so hard, was always present physically and mentally.❤
I grew up with Disney in the 80's and 90's. I loved all the movies! We visited Disneyland when I was really young, and Disneyworld a few times when I was older and can remember. I've always thoroughly enjoyed going to the parks. Now as an adult I enjoy them even more. Seeing my kid's reactions brings joy to me. Watching my husband go to Disney World for the first time in his life was an experience!. He never travelled a lot and seeing his childlike awe was a memory for my entire family. Now he indulges me and my practically yearly trips to the parks. Especially now while my children are younger. We regularly watch the movies at home, as well as some of the documentaries on Disney+.
I love everything Disney because it reminds me of my mom and my family. I have been going since I was 2 years old I am 67 now. I grew up going to Disneyland watching wonderful world of Disney. Took my husband to Disneyland for his first ever visit he is a big fan just like I am. My daughter is a Disneyland fan as well as my grandkids. It brings warm and precious memories. Nothing better ❤️
When I was little my family would go to Disneyland once a year and I remember how special I felt and how magical Disneyland was to me. I kept the tradition going with my own kids and even started getting magic keys for the family. I am now a grandmother and can't wait to share the memories and magic with my granddaughter. Thank you for what you do
Disneyland has a place in my heart because my mom loved Disneyland. She was able to go in 1955. I went in my childhood and I went as an adult and became an annual passholder. Our family took her to Disneyland one more time before she passed in 2005. Disneyland will always hold special memories for me.
I didn’t grow up with Disney. Never had the opportunity to go as a child. My first time going was in 2013 with my husband and 3 small children. I fell in love. I have passed on my love to them. We have been back to Disneyland 5 times. My daughter even had the opportunity to dance in the parade this past summer. That brought tears and joy to my heart and soul. We have been to Walt Disney world twice and two Disney cruises. I love how we can all enjoy the Disney experience together and still have our own moments as well. I love seeing the park through my children’s eyes. It melts my heart. ❤️
I grew up going to Disneyland every year. I also get nostalgic and feel the presence of my Nana and Papa because I always went with them. Disneyland just seems more magical now as an adult for some reason. I love sharing the magic of Disney with my husband and niece. I will still keep going to Disneyland as long as I can no matter how old I am!
One of my favorite memories of Disney was my first trip there. It was roughly 1964 and I under ten years old. I know my family saved like crazy for the trip and it was a great time. Cameras were pretty much a luxury then so sadly we don’t have any photos, but I do recall how special the trio was staying in the Disneyland Hotel. Thanks for your great content, Chris!
My mom started going to Disneyland for her birthday, November 1955. She has continued the tradition almost every year since. Which has transitioned into a family tradition. My sister and I have both been CMs as well as our husbands. My sister and bil met as CMs. My bil is still a CM, and now my youngest niece is as well. Disneyland literally means family to me.
I didn’t grow up with a love of Disney, but have always loved the movies and the princesses. My sister has been a Disney adult for YEARS! 😂. I went to Disney world as an adult and my love for all things Disney has grown. My favorite memory is when my two oldest children met Mickey for the first time. It made my momma heart explode with joy🥰🥰
Disney has been a family tradition dating back to my grandfather taking my dad opening week in 1955. While I now live closer to DisneyWorld than Disneyland, we have made sure to go to Disneyland at least once a year, celebrating birthdays, graduations, or even just our family’s winter holiday celebration. I only get to see my parents a few weeks out of the year, so spending a few of those days at Disneyland allows us time to create special memories while we are together. We just today started planning a trip for this spring and I can already feel my mood improving at the idea of more Disney family time.
Disneyland is my happy place. Every time I go to Disneyland, I feel a sense of nostalgia. When I march down Main Street, it warms my heart & it takes me back when I was a kid & I feel safe there.
Every Sunday night when I was a little girl, we would watch the Wonderful World of Disney. I was a sickly child, so I had a lot of medical treatments. My Mama would do the voices of various Disney characters to distract me when something hurt. I never had the chance to go to any of the parks when I was a kid, but my husband took me as an adult. I fell in love. When I saw Cinderella Castle, I cried because I saw the real window on the castle where the light went out at the end of every WWOD episode. I’m tearing up just remembering. We were lucky enough to have annual passes to the Orlando parks for over a decade before COVID. Disney is my heart. It always will be and I passed that love on to my kids. Thank you for your videos. They remind me of how much I love it. Hopefully we’ll be able to go back in 2024.
I loved Disney as a child . But now that I am an adult I appreciate it even more. I am an RN and healthcare stress is a lot , life stress is a lot for everyone . But Disney provides such a contrast ; it is light and fun and sweet and lovely . When you pass under the sign on the overpass . Really nothing else matters for those few hours except smiling . Thanks for your videos . They make me smile as well !
I’m 68 years old and I remember in the 60s going to Disneyland with my family it was so magical and since then I have taken my three kids when they where young and everyone had the same tee shirts on so we could find one another remember this is before cell phones. Thank you for bringing the magic back ❤
My Disney appreciation comes from my father. In saying this, my appreciation grew by learning more about Walt and Roy the struggles and triunphs that they had to create a unique company. Walts venture in movie production, themed entertainment and city planning is near and dear to my heart.
Congratulations Mr. Provost on your disneyland custom mouse ears with custom provost name on ears , really something to be proud of the way they sell them at disneyland, keep having good luck and great podcasts , thanks much .
I remember loving Disney my entire life and always having it as a part of my life. I still remember my first time seeing little mermaid in the theater with my grandma and mom and that was instant love. I’ve been going to DL since I was a baby and I have tons of parks memories. I still remember the skyway through the Matterhorn and seeing the country bears show. Disney is just a part of my life and I couldn’t imagine not having Disney in my life and I’ve passed that onto my husband and kids.
We began coming every once in awhile growing up. But we began coming with my kids growing up around the 1970’s. We now come 2-3 times a year from Oregon. There are so many great memories but just watching my kids faces when a character would come up to them & give a hug. And yes I believe the magic is passed down. Thanks Chris you are awesome!!
As a kid, I always wanted to go to Disneyland and got to go a couple of times. However, my love of Disney exploded when my wife and I got married. Her parents were huge Disney fans and had a DVC membership. Now I just absolutely love the Disney parks and just wish I had enough money to go more often than just once every 3-4 years.
Growing up in the Northeast in the 80s, Disney World was our special vacation treat every couple years. Later, as a music teacher, I took students there for music performances in special field trips, now as a Southern Californian, I get to visit so much more. It all reminds me of my childhood and I love now seeing my children experience what first I did, then what I saw my students experience later.
My parents took my sister and I to Disneyland once or twice a year in the 60’s, we lived in Southern California. We watched Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color every Sunday night. Disneyland was magical then and still is today. We moved away from California in 1970 so our Disneyland trips ended but the magic stayed with me and my sister. We were only able to go a couple of times as time passed. Now we’re both grandparents and the magic has been passed down to our kids and grandkids. When I retired in 2019 we were able to take all of my kids, grandkids, my sisters grandkids to Disneyland and DCA for the greatest trip ever. We haven’t been able to get everyone together again at once but we’ve all been back several times since 2019 & have a graduation trip for one of the grandkids coming up this summer. We can’t wait & you’re part of it 😊. We love watching your UA-cam videos. Thank you for them !
Disneyland is important to me because of the memories I made there with my mom. My mom worked as a cast member from 1979 to 1989. Then she had me in 1995. And just 3 months later she took me to Disneyland for the first time. And my whole childhood we would go to Disney about 5 times a year. I loved spending that time there with my mom as well as learning the history of Disney and the parks. Almost all of my book reports in school were about Walt and the parks. My mom and I went to the parks together multiple times a year from the time I was 3 months old up until I turned 28! Very sadly my mom passed away this year. I still go to the parks about every 2 weeks and everywhere I look I have memories of her! And that makes me very happy that I have a place to go remember her. A place where I have countless memories of her and I together. And that’s one of the main reasons I love Disneyland! Love your channel and positive messages to the world! Keep being yourself and doing the amazing things you do!!
My Great Aunt Mary lived in Anaheim. I loved how she would greet us with hugs and feed us breakfast before going to the park. I'm sure my parents loved a free place to sleep. I have pictures of going to the park... but it was the love from Aunt Mary that really started my Disney love.
I grew up going to California Disney land almost every year. Visiting Disney is like going back to the best times in my childhood. All those happy times. My cousins and friends sometime would go too and it just made it extra special. I've lost some of those friends to death and going to Disney is like seeing them again.
I fell in love with Disneyland during my college years. I already had fond memories of going a few times as a kid. Then, I was able to get a season pass while at school at LBSU. I went to counseling for a few years. My counselor was located down Katella halfway between my apartment in Long Beach and Disneyland. After a session, I would continue on to Disneyland and hang out for a bit. No matter how I was feeling going into Disneyland, I always felt happy, and my heart felt fuller when I'd leave the park. People watching, the magic of Disney, or the Cast Members, something always stuck with me. I still feel the special essence and healing happiness of Disney every time I go even 25 years later.
I got my love for Disney from my mom. She was the original die hard in our family. What sealed it for me was when I was 10 and my parents said I could go out by myself into the park. It was so much fun to see all the things there by myself. Now that I’m older, I still love going and am hoping to do more trips next year and if I’m lucky, I’ll get to see you there.
The Main Street electrical parade ❤ was the first magical moment of Disney that I remember 😊 I still have the record of the music from when I was a kid 😊 thanks for always sharing your peace and joy with all of us
Please don't worry about the walk and talk videos, it is wonderful to feel like we are walking the park with you. I love Disney because they are welcoming to everyone and children (of all ages!) especially for those with disabilities or other personal challenges have the opportunity to leave their lives outside the park at the gate and enjoy the experience. I have found that adults really look forward to vacations and such, but we don't really consider that kids need breaks too. To me, Disney is one of the best examples of dedication to the best of humanity. I could keep babbling on about how we each need the cognitive break from reality, but I will stop here.
In 2005, we took our then 4 year old to WDW. He was in amazement the entire time. My recollection of him on the pool slide at Saratoga Springs Resort was extraordinary. He “cackled” laughing while he was sliding literally for hours. We go back to WDW as often as we can, but that first visit with him exuding pure joy will be in my heart the rest of my life!
For me I fell hard at Grad Nite 44 years ago. Then I took my mom, who had never been (long story but her mom took her two siblings and left her home when she was young because she had a paper route). Then I took my nonverbal daughter with physical and intellectual delays when she was 3, she LIT up. That started us going at least every two years, if not every year. The only place she just laughs and smiles the whole time. I LOVE Disney because it is just a happy place. She is now 25 and still her happiest place to be! We are now Magic Key holders.
I have become more in love with Disney as an adult seeing the joy it gives my whole family! Now I love planning all the details and countdown until our next trip!
My love for Disney started when I was watching the wonderful world of color on TV when I was a child. then, when I went to Walt Disney World in Florida, I was so intrigued by how everything was done from the cleanliness to the friendliness everything about Disney World how it made me feel happy, and to see children with smiles on their faces. That’s what I love about Disney
Thank you so much Chris for your fun videos and for asking this question! My first trip to Disneyland was I think in 1975 with my mom, dad and brother. I don’t have specific memories aside from the distinct feeling that I was somehow transported to the most amazing place on Earth! :) It was pure childhood joy. I’ve recently been converting all our old home movies/slides and love those of the first trips to the park. Over the years I went again with my parents and grandparents and I never felt happier than when we were all together as a family. Our last trip was my daughters college graduation in 2021. Sadly, all my grandparents have now passed on and my mom passed a few months ago from Leukemia. :( We’re planning to visit again in her honor since so many special times were shared there together. Someone asked me a few years back why I loved Disneyland so much and my first response was ‘nostalgia.’ I explained that it was a wonderful place full of joy, happiness and love whenever we visited and now that most of my family is gone it’s even more special for me. I can no longer visit my grandparents homes, or have my mom by my side, but as soon as I walk through the gates and enter Main Street I feel home again. It’s a feeling that I’m back at my grandparents house or walking hand in hand with my parents with all the warmth and love from childhood.
I live in Australia, so we don't have Disney parks here. But my love of Disney really started at the beginning of this year. My pet rabbit passed away. I was so upset for a long time. I still am really! I was looking for something to cheer me up and I found Ordinary Adventures on UA-cam. Watching them made me so happy. And from them I found you and magic journeys and super enthused and paging Mr morrow. You're all like my emotional support channels. So even though I've never been to disney, watching all your videos makes me happy. ❤
I did not grow up in a Disney household. I found my joy on my own. I love Disney for 2 reasons. 1) It is an escape. And... 2) I idolized Walt and everything he stood for (and still does in my heart). This is a large part of why I love your videos. Because you touch on the past in almost every video you produce. Thank you for being you!
My Disney magic started early! I'm a kid of the 80s, and I have always loved the magic of Disney. I had the posters, I even had the Bambi jeans that I wore till I absolutely grew out of them. Being a child of divorced and a military kid, Disney was the one thing constant and safe that I escape to. That and I sing like all the Disney princess 😊.
Many years ago, waiting in the ticket line before the park opening, while my wife and son were still napping in the car a few yards away, back when the parking lot was still out in front of Disneyland. I remember thinking to myself "Oh, so this is what it feels like to be an adult!". It's a sweet, beautiful memory for me.
I have not yet been to Disneyland, but we are heading out tomorrow! I became a Disney fan after going to WDW as a child- it just felt so magical to be there, everything was so clean and the cast members so amazing. I brought my husband who had never been on our honeymoon and my love just grew! We have now taken our children many times and they are Disney fanatics as well!! We are so excited to be visiting Disneyland for New Year’s Eve as my daughter’s college marching band marches down Main Street and then in the Rose Parade! Thanks for your videos- I love watching them!
I was five the first time I went to Disneyland. I remember riding Casey’s train. I think I’ve love Disneyland because I loved watching The Wonderful World of Disney on TV as a child. That show along with the many Mickey Mouse Clubs really instilled a love for all thing Disney. I told my children for the first time when they were 2 and 4. There is NOTHING like seeing Disneyland through a child’s eyes! I am also a crazy, crazy Star Wars fan and when Disney made Star Tours it was a mind blowing event. That is until I went this past August and saw Star Wars Land for the first time. I cried when I rode the Rise of the Resistance. That trip was the most magical time I have experienced at Disneyland. My husband I and went to Disneyworld 32 years ago. Although I enjoyed some of the trip, nothing is as wonderful as Disneyland. I started watching your channel a few months before my Aug trip. I’ve really grown to love you and your family. Thanks for doing so much research and sharing your life with me. Someday I hope to meet you all in person. Until then, YOU need to remember how special you are and that just being you brings so much joy into our lives.
Been going to Disney World since I was an infant. I used to write Mickey as a little girl and it was so magical for me to get letters back. I always feel the magic, and now that im older, i love to watch others experience it too.
Disneyland is just such a magical place because of the love and attention to detail that was put into it. I LOVE the history of Disneyland and the imagineers that built such a special place. I always wished I could be an imagineer. That dream never came true but Disneyland is full of a million little dreams that become reality every time I'm there. I have been able to share those dreams with my family for 30 years and now I get to pass them on to my kiddos who love it as much as I do.
My love of Disney was inherited. I grew up watching all the classic Disney movies, and my granny always brought me to Disney on Ice when it came to town. My love was really solidified when my mom took me to Disneyland the first time as a young girl, and a parade dancer pulled me into the conga line with them. Getting to share all the magic with my kids brings it full circle and fills my heart so much!
My very first trip to Disneyland with my patents was when i was 5 years old back in 1970. I grew up watching the Wonderful World of Disney every week with my parents as well as my parents taking me with them to see every Disney movie that came out. So I've been a Disney fan from a very young age. My parents were not very fond of big rides like the Matterhorn, but they sucked it up and rode that ride with me for my first time riding it. That's one of my fondest memories with my parents that year in the park. My most recent trip just a few months ago in October, both of my sons (both adults now) & I visited the parks and for me this one has become the most special. One reason is it'd been 12 years since the 3 of us went on a family vacation to Disneyland on top of the fact that my oldest son was still on his recovery road from having had a major surgery in September. There were some rides he couldn't ride but many he could. We took our time going through the parks & exploring Downtown Disney. I just so enjoyed hanging out, spending precious time with my sons in one of the happiest places ever to be and feeling like such a very blessed Mama. You've also helped make my last 2 trips memorable too. I don't think I'd have been on the lookout for hidden Mickeys if it wasn't for you. And I've found myself just really looking at the parks taking in as much as I can of those details many don't notice because they are in a hurry to go to this ride or that ride. Anyway, I'm sorry I'm rambling. Sorry for the long read.
Hi Chris, the magic came to me when I was 8 years old when my grandmother took me to Disneyland. Those were my favorite memories from my grandmother. I didn’t go back until I was an adult.
Hi Chris. Another great vlog. Brother Terry and I will definately try Your Breakfast treats. Looked amazing. Our parents took us to DL first time in August, 1955. Was so exciting. My Brother was hooked from the start. I hadn't been in 40 years, and Terry treated myself and Husband in October 2014. I've become re-hooked since then. Our greatest joy is the people. The children, the smiles, the atmosphere. The aromas and most of all, introducing friends and family to their first trip. The excitement, sparkle in their eyes, the smiles that remain on their faces through the trip. Our hearts swell. Then of course meeting you, Amanda and Miles has been an added bonus. Thank you for all you do and keeping me feeling positive about myself. Until we meet again our friend ❤ MJ and Terry
I grew up on the original Disney cartoons with Mickey and the gang back in the 80s. I didn’t have the happiest home, but I always felt safe with Disney. Disney movies, Disney original cartoons, anything Disney made me feel like everything was going to be OK. When I go to Disneyland now as an adult, I feel like I’m home and it’s just the most magical, happy place I could ever be in. I feel like I get my childhood back when I go and I just love how clean and well thought out it is. I love Casey Junior’s Train! It’s one of my favorite rides along with the Matterhorn. With Casey Juniors Train, I love the sound of the track beneath you. I love seeing the view from the Matterhorn. That’s why it’s so magical. When you’re at a Disney park, or watching something Disney, you just get to be a kid again, no matter your age. Disney is accepting of all people, cultures, backgrounds, views, and they just see the good in every person, and don’t judge anyone for their lifestyle. They just accept everybody in as a child of any age.
My wife and I have gone to a Disney location every year since we started dating. Which has been for 25 years this year. We love hanging out on the porch on Main Street and also hitching a ride on any of the Main Street vehicles. Now we love introducing Disneyland to our kids and watching them get so excited! Thanks for the great videos! Hope you and the family had a great Christmas and have a happy new year! 🤙
I live Disney so much because i grew up very poor and never went as a kid. I now go to Disneyland several times a year. I simply love the feeling i get when there. As a middle-aged man, I love taking my family often, and i love that i always feel like a kid again when im at Disney.
I love Disneyland, didn’t get to go until I was in my 30’s, went with my mother and my 6 year old daughter and had a blast! It’s just the Happiest place on earth! Have been back about 7 times and looking forward to a big trip with my husband our daughter & her husband , my son his wife & 2 children. I enjoy watching your videos to get my Disneyland fix.
My mom became a single mom when I was 6 and my siblings were 4 and 1. She didn't have any extra money, but she had a love of Disney and we watched all the Disney movies growing up. When I was 10, she decided to plan a trip to Disneyland, "It's now or never" she said. It was the most amazing place I had ever seen. I just remember feeling like I had been transported into this magical land. My mom was buying several souvenirs which was unlike her because I knew she didn't have extra funds. When I asked her why she was she said, "This may be the last time I ever come here." I told her that was silly and of course at the very least when I grew up I would take her with me. She was diagnosed with cancer about a year and half later and passed away soon afterwards. It was the only vacation I ever went on with my mom, and somehow I think she knew she would never be back. The home we lived in was just a rental and is long gone, so I feel like I remember her best on the streets of Disneyland, or riding Big Thunder Mountain, her favorite.
Sweet memory. Please share this with your family. It's a story that should be shared.
Your story brought tears to my eyes.
I hope you and your siblings are in good shape now 🙏❤
@@soniasias6226 Same! 😢
I grew up on Disney as a child in the 1960's. I remember when Walt was alive and I used to remember seeing him introduce his weekly anthology show on Sunday evening. My first trip to Disneyland was in 1963 and my parents told me my eyes opened as never before and was obsessed with Disney ever since. I'm now 64 years old and still love Disney. I hope that however you celebrate the holidays, you have peace, hope and joy.
I have that same story and memory!!
I love this so much. Thank you for leaving this comment.
Its the Happiest place on earth!
My mom was a single mom. I had no siblings at the time, so it was just her and I. However, my grandparents were very involved since we lived with them. So with that being said, I had another mom and I gained a father. Not only was I the first grandchild, but I was born on his birthday. So he was in love with me as I with him. My Grandpa was and will forever be my father in my eyes. For a Christmas present, he took us all to Disneyland on 1/1/91. I was 3 years old and it was my first Disneyland trip. I made beautiful memories with my grandpa that day. My fondest memory was riding King Arthur’s carousel with him right next to me and enjoying time with him. Then leaving that afternoon with a pink Mickey balloon as the perfect souvenir. I grew to love Disney soo much after my trip. I consider it my second home. As time went on, of course nature takes its course. My grandpa unfortunately got diagnosed with liver cancer on March 9, 2017. Drs told us he had 6 months to live. So we knew we had to spend each and every moment we could with him. So what better way to enjoy family time? A trip to Disneyland! Of course my grandpa was not as strong anymore so we had him in a wheelchair, but we made sure he got on every ride he wanted. That included King Arthur’s carousel. When I asked him if he wanted to stay in his wheelchair or try to get on one of the horses, he immediately said, “I want to get on a horse”. So, we made that happen. Man oh man was he sooo happy. He looked like a little kid having the best time of his life. Once the ride was over, I made sure I took a picture of us together one last time to remember this beautiful moment. Exactly 6 months later, 2 weeks shy of our birthday- he passed away. To keep the tradition going , I bought him the same pink Mickey balloon he bought me on my first trip. Now that I have my own family, we ride the carousel in memory of him and my son rides on the same horse my grandpa did. Every year for our birthday/anniversary, I buy a pink Mickey balloon for my grandpa and cherish it til it no longer floats. I have beautiful memories and I’m so blessed to have and cherish forever.
I was the child of a single mother. For as long as I can remember, I wanted to go to Disneyland. We were just too poor. In 1973, the man who would become my father took a wrecked van and a wrecked trailer and built a motor home over that winter. In our driveway. In 1974, he took mom and 5year old me to Disneyland in that homemade motor home. Every time I take my family to a Disney park, I am reminded of the love and kindness he showed a little boy he owed nothing to. Disneyland will always have a special place in my heart.
💙💚
I took my wife here in 1974 for her 1st time at Disneyland for our honeymoon. We have been coming back many times over the years with our kids and now grandkids. This June we will be back just the 2 of us for our 50th anniversary.
I grow up with Disney and always wanted to go there but from the uk it was a once in a lifetime experience, when I got married my wife’s dream was to go to Disney, we went to to Disney world in 1990 and was blown away , and said we must go to the original and we did on are 25 anniversary, and we loved it , there is no feeling like the one you get when you first see the castle, we❤Disney.
I love Disneyland! My oldest son was disabled. I raised my two sons as a single Mom. Money was tight! As my kids grew up, I volunteered at their school and one year all the teachers got together and gave us a trip to Disneyland!!! I nearly passed out!
Well, long story short, my son had the best time! He is no longer with us, but we rode Peter Pan so many times!
So, now, when I go back, I head straight for Peter Pan and the memories and the magic fill my heart!
That’s why I love Disney!
This year I am taking my younger son and family to Disneyland. It will be the trip of a lifetime!
In 2010, I went through an ugly divorce. I have three daughters that decided to stay with me. Disneyland was our place to get away and have those special moments without having to think about the ugliness we were all going through and to this day we still make the time 15 years later to all go to Disney together and share those special moments and create new ones but now with new grand kids. I think it’s safe to say that we are a Disney family though and true. Disneyland got us through those tough times, and was and is our special place to be together.
I’ve always wanted to work at Disneyland since 8 years old because of the castmembers always made me feel acknowledged and made my experiences at Disneyland magical. Now as a castmember I make sure I acknowledge my little guest (children) and their families being as pleasant and welcoming as possible. Whenever I see you and your family I always thank you for being kind to our guests and making videos to share the magic at Disneyland. I appreciate working at Disneyland and I enjoy making magic for all of our guests they’re all family to me ❤🙏🏾
Love this. I’ve always wanted to be a CM
Thank you. I have older kids with hidden disabilities and problems and cast members have been so kind and respectful to them. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate it. Disney cast members are great!!!
Disneyland… when I walk through the gate and under the sign (you all know which one) I’m no longer an adult who knows about 9/11 or school shooters or divorces or hateful people… I’m 7 again when my world was perfect. All my family was alive, I was safe and worry wasn’t a thing. I was just happy then, pure joyfulness. I feel all that again when I go and get to see all the kids, my baby sister and then later her kids (my beautiful nephews) & all the kids I see when I visit the park. Seeing kids believing in the magic and that they could do or be anything….it heals my hardened heart. 🧡🖤🧡
I am from New Zealand, so Disneyland is a long way for us to visit. As a family our only exposure to Disney was watching Disney's Sunday night movies as we didn't travel overseas, that was too expensive when we were growing up. It was always somewhere I wanted to visit and ten years ago I brought my family to Disneyland and loved it. In 24 days (not that I am counting) we are coming back with our youngest child who doesn't remember it from ten years ago. We are all really looking forward to it. I love your video's, as some one that only gets to Disneyland rarely they are a valuable source of information.
Disneyland is pure, unfiltered Americana. Its historical, nostalgic, artistic, interactive, creative and intriguing.
Hi Chris, I’m currently 70 years old and my first visit to Disneyland in 1956 and while I don’t remember it we do have home movies. Living in Minnesota, driving to SoCal is a major trip, but every year from age 3 to 20 we took family summer vacations and over the years we’ve taken every possible route always ending with several days at Disneyland. Every year as vacation time drew closer the anticipation of going to Disneyland was for a kid in the early 1960’s indescribable. We never had a lot of money for souvenirs but one year after watching the gas powered model airplane demonstration. My dad purchased a a gas powered model airplane that would fly on a string. After getting home my dad an I had many hours of fun flying that plane
My husband took me to Disneyland on one of our first dates. There is something special about falling in love there. We have been married over 40 years. Our health and mobility doesn’t allow us to have yearly passes anymore, so we really enjoy your videos.
When I was a kid, I didn't see my dad much because he was working 12 hour days to support us, but every Saturday morning, I would wake up and run downstairs and we would watch a Disney movie together. It was the best part of my whole childhood.
💙💚
My parents took me to Disneyland for my birthday 3 years in a row. I was born 2 days after Christmas. So for my 12th, 13th, and 14th birthdays, we went to Disneyland. It was so great. This was before it was popular to go to Disneyland for Christmas. On rainy, drizzly, foggy days, it was like we had the park to ourselves. We would ride all our favorite rides over and over again. It still makes me smile thinking about those times.
Chris, please never worry about your walk and talk videos. They’re great and I enjoy them very much 🤗🧡
I have a lot of wonderful Disney memories. A very special one of them is from ages ago. As an adult, I got to go to Disneyland (before there was even a DCA) with my mom. Just the two of us.! It was awesome!!! We had a wonderful time! We’ll never be able to do that again though, as she can no longer travel 😢Very happy to have that very cherished memory 🤗💛
My family didn’t have a lot when we were growing up. But one of my earliest memories was when my parents took my twin brother and I for a Disneyland vacation for our 4th, birthday. It was the only vacation we had as a family that wasn’t camping in the woods! I’ve been as an adult a few times sinceand it brings back those special memories each time! 💕 I was able to bring my own children when they were little. Walking through the gates with them for the first time at night with the music and lights brought tears to my eyes as we got to re-experience the park through them. I’m coming back for my 50th birthday next spring!
This is so sweet. It makes me happy to think of the times I took our two youngens and know that they will always remember.
For me. I just like disney parks and visiting theme parks like the dutch Efteling. Because i was extremly bullied and did not have a great time as a kid. But like you always say. Things do get better! I love visiting these parks alone or with my wife and kids. And enjoy how they enjoy. Feeling like a kid again. Feeling positive energy. So i can charge my emotional battery and do my best in daily life. The first time i visited a disney themepark i was 17. And it just made me feel better after all the hard and bad times. And gave me a relief inside. And my grand dad noticed that. And let me promise i would visit a themepark at least once a year if i could. Because it made me smile
Eating breakfast at Goofy’s kitchen warms my heart so much because it brings back such great memories of when my children were little and they were so excited to be at Disneyland. Loved the interaction with the characters too, especially Cruella de Vil!
I read many comments before writing my own. I too grew up in 60’s. My early life was in Bakersfield and in winter the sun would not shine. My folks loved driving to Anaheim to get some sun. Disneyland was so magic and my dad had me convinced that everything was real. Now I pass that love on to my grandkids.
My fondest childhood memories are ladened with Disney. From gathering around the TV as a family to watch a Wonderful World of Disney to my Dad surprising us with an impromptu trip to Disneyland (we lived in San Diego) and spending the night at the Little Boy Blue motel...and then as a grown up asking my nieces and nephews on their 1st trip to Disney, my life is full of Disney memories. My husband and I even spent part of our honeymoon at Disneyland as an homage to my parents honeymooning at Disneyland in 1967. It's truly a magical place!!
As a kid, my family would always watch "The Wonderful World of Disney " on Sunday evenings, but what really sold me on Disney was in 2000, we took our kids to Disneyland. My youngest was 4 years old, and we were walking down Main Street. We saw Tigger inside the Plaza Inn, and I pointed him out to my son. Tigger stopped what he was doing and looked out the window and waved at my child. It made the morning magical, and it is still one of our favorite memories as a family.
My Aunt worked at Disneyland and took me often when i was young. She was able to get me into backstage areas that instead of ruining the magic made me appreciate it more. She has been a second mother to me and instilled in me a love for Disney; especially for the smaller details.
Came to Disneyland for the first time in 89’ (I was a little girl) and to this day I remember how magical everything was! I would return every year with my family and every time it just had all the feels. I then found a fascination for the amazing man behind it all and my love grew even more. Now I go with my husband and son (named after Walt) every year for our vacation and it’s HOME ❤
Growing up in 70 are parents would take us twice a year following tradition I would take my kids 3 4 times a year now that dads gone to haven. Need to go religiously for good memories.
Disney is one of the places where I am completely relaxed. It’s comparable to sitting on a beach or a mountain top. All the cares and worries of the world disappear and you are in the moment entirely. No matter how hot or crowded, it feels like home. That’s my Disney Magic.
Disney reminds me of my grandma. She took me on one of my birthday’s back in the 90’s and I fell in love with it ever since. I just went again this year in April, and when I visit I go immediately to the two rides she loved - pirates and haunted mansion 🥹💕✨I miss her so much. When I go I feel like I’m honoring her and continuing the traditions of attending Disneyland in our family 🥰💕🥹😭💕
My dad was a huge Disney fan. We could only afford two trips to Disneyland when I was growing up, but it stayed with me. The last time I went to Disneyland with my dad, he was in his 70s. He was such a trooper, and kept up with me and my sisters and our families. We have so many stories and fond memories of that trip.
The Disney magic was passed on to me by my parents even though they are not fans. But since I was a little kid they used to take me to Disneyland and bought me several VHS of the renaissance period. Since then, I started going back to Disneyland when I finished medical school. Recently, I have passed the magic of visiting the DLR to my girlfriend that is a huge Mickey Mouse fan. We just visited for out first Holiday season and it was beautiful beyond words.
Disney to me means that no matter how old I am, I’m always a child at heart. This is how I feel every time I’m at a Disney Park and happy that I get to share this feeling with my daughters and soon, my grandson.
What do my family and I like about Disney? People like you that bring back its magic each episode. Thank you Mr. Provost.
My whole family grew up in So Cal. My aunt was the one who took me to Disney, for any reason imaginable (yay for the 90s! lol). My aunt was already a big Disney nerd and had loved it entirely. She was very heartbroken when she decided to move to Utah (we all moved) and she hasnt gone back to Disneyland since 2004. I went back once in 2006. Then years later I found this lovely channel, PPP. I watched it frequently on my own and decided to share it with my aunt as well. She loves Provost Park Pass because it feels like getting to see a place she feels is home and see some as excited about the park as she is.
This past year, I got to return home and share my love Disneyland with my wife and daughter, neither have been before, to celebrate the kid's 10th birthday. My wife talks non stop about going and the kid was happy there and now idk how she feels back at home.
I have way too many wonderful memories to choose just one, but I can tell you something my husband did to make sure Disneyland will always be extra special for me. He purchased a brick with our names on it that sits between Disneyland and CA Adventure. It's the first place we go before going into the park. Having a piece of me that never leaves Disneyland is the best feeling, especially when I'm missing it, or our trips are too far apart. Chris, I hope you and your family have the most amazing holiday. Thanks for all the giggles and smiles you've given me this year. Your videos are a great pick-me-up when life is full of chaos. 🥰
I was born in 1959. Disneyland was one of the first family vacations I remember. We only went once or twice as a family. In HS my marching band performed at Disney!! I have taken my family many (many) times and have passed my love of Disney on to my daughters, especially my youngest!
I love it when I walk onto Main Street and hear the sounds and music. I just feel happy!!
Going to Disneyland as a child with my parents was a disaster. Later as an adult going with my wife and now with our daughter I love the park. It's such a great escape for us . Especially for me as a Paramedic for the last 25 years it's a break from reality and stress.
I’m a second generation Cast Member(former now). My dad worked at Disneyland in the 1960’s and I worked at Disneyland and DCA in the late 2000’s. My dad grew up in LA and was fortunate enough to see DL open. My love stemmed from being fortunate enough to start my childhood in LA and how many times I got to go to DL in the 80’s. After we moved away we still went regularly and were AP holders. I wanted to be a cast member since I was a kid and I moved back to live my dream. I had to leave Orange County but it was the best work experience ever!!!
Hi Chris, my love for Disney has been around since I was a young child (3 years old was when I took my first trip with my grandparents and aunts.) My grandpa passed his love of Disney onto me. I remember watching the classic Mickey cartoons (like through the looking glass) and of course the classic Princess movies and the renaissance era movies. I’ve been obsessed ever since. My love for Disney has grown even more since my grandpa passed in 2016 and I’ve just not ever wanted to let go of that love!
It feels like magic, I remember loving my first (so far only trip) to a Disney park 1996 and it still resonates. The movies make me happy. Watching your videos make me smile each time. THANK YOU 😊
Hi Chris, this is Letty I want to thank you for taking the time to say hi at the 15 min. parking lot. My first time going to Disneyland was when I was 12 years old, my dad and mom took me and my brothers, from then on I loved disney, when I was in high school there was a program called ROP and they had a class called Disneyland I took the class and was trained everywhere in the park and 10 years later I finally got my dream job, working at Disneyland! It's been 20 years since and I'm still very happy working for the mouse.
When I was a kid in the late 70s we would always watch Walt Disney reruns on Sunday evenings.
My love for Disney started with my parents. I like to say that I work so that I can give my a dog a happy life and so that I can go to Disneyland with my husband and/or my family. Also - Chris, thank you for existing and spreading positivity in this world. I hope you know how appreciated you are. ❤
Love the character interaction, cleanliness of the park and the cast members. Rides are sugar on the top 🤣
I was 12 when I1st went to Disneyland. I remember being in Tomorrowland and spinning in a circle looking up around and thinking this is the best place ever. I remember being by the rockets 🚀 I stoll think it's the best place ever. I've been taking my nieces and nephew's for yhe past 20 years 😊❤
I love Disney because of memories growing up with my Mom. We watched the Wide World of Disney together every week and in the summer, she bought me Disney magazines that were sold through Gulf stations. I was fascinated by all things Disneyland, I remember the article about cleaning up gum! We never went to Disneyland but Mom, Grandma, and I went to the NY World's Fair and I saw Mr. LIncoln, Small World, the dinosaurs, and the Carousol of Progress. I got three souvenirs-an embroidered Peter Pan hat, a pennant that had candy in its hollow flag pole, and an extruded wax dinosaur. I've been to Disneyland quite a few times and I have four days reserved in April! and I'll remember Mom when I ride Small World. Thanks, Chris.
I was born a year before Disneyland opened and grew up visiting the park from about 5 years old and still go now that I am almost 70. I remember Frontierland the most. Loved the mule ride and the Indians the best. I also remember the mermaids in the lagoon of the submarine ride and the motor boats near by. My father enjoyed Disneyland as much as I did and I remember his joy when we would visit. I have passed on my love of all things Disney to my husband, children, their spouses, and my grands. Thank you Uncle Walt as we called him for sharing his special place with all of us.
My first trip to Disneyland was at 5 years old in 1975 and continue to visit ever since! I grew up on the Mickey Mouse Club and Sunday night World of Disney movies. I’ve gone with family, extended family, school trips, girlfriends and now with my own family. And 2 my girls LOVE Disney too, their first trip was at 3 years old and 1 year old. The magic we feel as soon as walking on property always brings us to tears ❤. We’ve come to love the sights, sounds, food and everything else. Can’t wait to go again in a couple of months!
Hello Chris, Love your work. I got my Disney Magic from my mom. I lost it in my early 20s. Then the Frist time I took my kids to Disneyland it came right back. Living it thought them is pure magic. My favorite memory, Was last year for my daughters 5th birthday she did Bippi bobbidi boutique. The magic that was there was breath taking.
As a child, my parents brought me to Disney every other year. It was always magical because we were always happy together, and my father, who worked so hard, was always present physically and mentally.❤
I grew up with Disney in the 80's and 90's. I loved all the movies! We visited Disneyland when I was really young, and Disneyworld a few times when I was older and can remember. I've always thoroughly enjoyed going to the parks. Now as an adult I enjoy them even more. Seeing my kid's reactions brings joy to me. Watching my husband go to Disney World for the first time in his life was an experience!. He never travelled a lot and seeing his childlike awe was a memory for my entire family. Now he indulges me and my practically yearly trips to the parks. Especially now while my children are younger. We regularly watch the movies at home, as well as some of the documentaries on Disney+.
I love everything Disney because it reminds me of my mom and my family. I have been going since I was 2 years old I am 67 now. I grew up going to Disneyland watching wonderful world of Disney. Took my husband to Disneyland for his first ever visit he is a big fan just like I am. My daughter is a Disneyland fan as well as my grandkids. It brings warm and precious memories. Nothing better ❤️
When I was little my family would go to Disneyland once a year and I remember how special I felt and how magical Disneyland was to me. I kept the tradition going with my own kids and even started getting magic keys for the family. I am now a grandmother and can't wait to share the memories and magic with my granddaughter. Thank you for what you do
Disneyland has a place in my heart because my mom loved Disneyland. She was able to go in 1955. I went in my childhood and I went as an adult and became an annual passholder. Our family took her to Disneyland one more time before she passed in 2005. Disneyland will always hold special memories for me.
I didn’t grow up with Disney. Never had the opportunity to go as a child. My first time going was in 2013 with my husband and 3 small children. I fell in love. I have passed on my love to them. We have been back to Disneyland 5 times. My daughter even had the opportunity to dance in the parade this past summer. That brought tears and joy to my heart and soul. We have been to Walt Disney world twice and two Disney cruises. I love how we can all enjoy the Disney experience together and still have our own moments as well. I love seeing the park through my children’s eyes. It melts my heart. ❤️
I grew up going to Disneyland every year. I also get nostalgic and feel the presence of my Nana and Papa because I always went with them. Disneyland just seems more magical now as an adult for some reason. I love sharing the magic of Disney with my husband and niece. I will still keep going to Disneyland as long as I can no matter how old I am!
One of my favorite memories of Disney was my first trip there. It was roughly 1964 and I under ten years old. I know my family saved like crazy for the trip and it was a great time. Cameras were pretty much a luxury then so sadly we don’t have any photos, but I do recall how special the trio was staying in the Disneyland Hotel.
Thanks for your great content, Chris!
My mom started going to Disneyland for her birthday, November 1955. She has continued the tradition almost every year since. Which has transitioned into a family tradition. My sister and I have both been CMs as well as our husbands. My sister and bil met as CMs. My bil is still a CM, and now my youngest niece is as well. Disneyland literally means family to me.
I didn’t grow up with a love of Disney, but have always loved the movies and the princesses. My sister has been a Disney adult for YEARS! 😂. I went to Disney world as an adult and my love for all things Disney has grown. My favorite memory is when my two oldest children met Mickey for the first time. It made my momma heart explode with joy🥰🥰
Disney has been a family tradition dating back to my grandfather taking my dad opening week in 1955. While I now live closer to DisneyWorld than Disneyland, we have made sure to go to Disneyland at least once a year, celebrating birthdays, graduations, or even just our family’s winter holiday celebration. I only get to see my parents a few weeks out of the year, so spending a few of those days at Disneyland allows us time to create special memories while we are together. We just today started planning a trip for this spring and I can already feel my mood improving at the idea of more Disney family time.
Disneyland is my happy place. Every time I go to Disneyland, I feel a sense of nostalgia. When I march down Main Street, it warms my heart & it takes me back when I was a kid & I feel safe there.
Every Sunday night when I was a little girl, we would watch the Wonderful World of Disney. I was a sickly child, so I had a lot of medical treatments. My Mama would do the voices of various Disney characters to distract me when something hurt. I never had the chance to go to any of the parks when I was a kid, but my husband took me as an adult. I fell in love.
When I saw Cinderella Castle, I cried because I saw the real window on the castle where the light went out at the end of every WWOD episode. I’m tearing up just remembering. We were lucky enough to have annual passes to the Orlando parks for over a decade before COVID. Disney is my heart. It always will be and I passed that love on to my kids. Thank you for your videos. They remind me of how much I love it. Hopefully we’ll be able to go back in 2024.
I loved Disney as a child . But now that I am an adult I appreciate it even more. I am an RN and healthcare stress is a lot , life stress is a lot for everyone . But Disney provides such a contrast ; it is light and fun and sweet and lovely .
When you pass under the sign on the overpass . Really nothing else matters for those few hours except smiling .
Thanks for your videos . They make me smile as well !
I’m 68 years old and I remember in the 60s going to Disneyland with my family it was so magical and since then I have taken my three kids when they where young and everyone had the same tee shirts on so we could find one another remember this is before cell phones. Thank you for bringing the magic back ❤
My Disney appreciation comes from my father.
In saying this, my appreciation grew by learning more about Walt and Roy the struggles and triunphs that they had to create a unique company.
Walts venture in movie production, themed entertainment and city planning is near and dear to my heart.
You had to tell the sandwich “I love you” before you moved onto the burrito! Hahaha
Congratulations Mr. Provost on your disneyland custom mouse ears with custom provost name on ears , really something to be proud of the way they sell them at disneyland, keep having good luck and great podcasts , thanks much .
Thank you very much!
I remember loving Disney my entire life and always having it as a part of my life. I still remember my first time seeing little mermaid in the theater with my grandma and mom and that was instant love. I’ve been going to DL since I was a baby and I have tons of parks memories. I still remember the skyway through the Matterhorn and seeing the country bears show. Disney is just a part of my life and I couldn’t imagine not having Disney in my life and I’ve passed that onto my husband and kids.
We began coming every once in awhile growing up. But we began coming with my kids growing up around the 1970’s. We now come 2-3 times a year from Oregon. There are so many great memories but just watching my kids faces when a character would come up to them & give a hug. And yes I believe the magic is passed down. Thanks Chris you are awesome!!
As a kid, I always wanted to go to Disneyland and got to go a couple of times. However, my love of Disney exploded when my wife and I got married. Her parents were huge Disney fans and had a DVC membership. Now I just absolutely love the Disney parks and just wish I had enough money to go more often than just once every 3-4 years.
Growing up in the Northeast in the 80s, Disney World was our special vacation treat every couple years. Later, as a music teacher, I took students there for music performances in special field trips, now as a Southern Californian, I get to visit so much more. It all reminds me of my childhood and I love now seeing my children experience what first I did, then what I saw my students experience later.
My parents took my sister and I to Disneyland once or twice a year in the 60’s, we lived in Southern California. We watched Walt Disney’s Wonderful World of Color every Sunday night. Disneyland was magical then and still is today. We moved away from California in 1970 so our Disneyland trips ended but the magic stayed with me and my sister. We were only able to go a couple of times as time passed. Now we’re both grandparents and the magic has been passed down to our kids and grandkids. When I retired in 2019 we were able to take all of my kids, grandkids, my sisters grandkids to Disneyland and DCA for the greatest trip ever. We haven’t been able to get everyone together again at once but we’ve all been back several times since 2019 & have a graduation trip for one of the grandkids coming up this summer. We can’t wait & you’re part of it 😊. We love watching your UA-cam videos. Thank you for them !
Disneyland is important to me because of the memories I made there with my mom. My mom worked as a cast member from 1979 to 1989. Then she had me in 1995. And just 3 months later she took me to Disneyland for the first time. And my whole childhood we would go to Disney about 5 times a year. I loved spending that time there with my mom as well as learning the history of Disney and the parks. Almost all of my book reports in school were about Walt and the parks. My mom and I went to the parks together multiple times a year from the time I was 3 months old up until I turned 28! Very sadly my mom passed away this year. I still go to the parks about every 2 weeks and everywhere I look I have memories of her! And that makes me very happy that I have a place to go remember her. A place where I have countless memories of her and I together. And that’s one of the main reasons I love Disneyland!
Love your channel and positive messages to the world! Keep being yourself and doing the amazing things you do!!
My Great Aunt Mary lived in Anaheim. I loved how she would greet us with hugs and feed us breakfast before going to the park. I'm sure my parents loved a free place to sleep. I have pictures of going to the park... but it was the love from Aunt Mary that really started my Disney love.
I grew up going to California Disney land almost every year. Visiting Disney is like going back to the best times in my childhood. All those happy times. My cousins and friends sometime would go too and it just made it extra special. I've lost some of those friends to death and going to Disney is like seeing them again.
I fell in love with Disneyland during my college years. I already had fond memories of going a few times as a kid. Then, I was able to get a season pass while at school at LBSU. I went to counseling for a few years. My counselor was located down Katella halfway between my apartment in Long Beach and Disneyland. After a session, I would continue on to Disneyland and hang out for a bit. No matter how I was feeling going into Disneyland, I always felt happy, and my heart felt fuller when I'd leave the park. People watching, the magic of Disney, or the Cast Members, something always stuck with me. I still feel the special essence and healing happiness of Disney every time I go even 25 years later.
I got my love for Disney from my mom. She was the original die hard in our family. What sealed it for me was when I was 10 and my parents said I could go out by myself into the park. It was so much fun to see all the things there by myself. Now that I’m older, I still love going and am hoping to do more trips next year and if I’m lucky, I’ll get to see you there.
The Main Street electrical parade ❤ was the first magical moment of Disney that I remember 😊 I still have the record of the music from when I was a kid 😊 thanks for always sharing your peace and joy with all of us
Please don't worry about the walk and talk videos, it is wonderful to feel like we are walking the park with you. I love Disney because they are welcoming to everyone and children (of all ages!) especially for those with disabilities or other personal challenges have the opportunity to leave their lives outside the park at the gate and enjoy the experience. I have found that adults really look forward to vacations and such, but we don't really consider that kids need breaks too. To me, Disney is one of the best examples of dedication to the best of humanity. I could keep babbling on about how we each need the cognitive break from reality, but I will stop here.
In 2005, we took our then 4 year old to WDW. He was in amazement the entire time. My recollection of him on the pool slide at Saratoga Springs Resort was extraordinary. He “cackled” laughing while he was sliding literally for hours. We go back to WDW as often as we can, but that first visit with him exuding pure joy will be in my heart the rest of my life!
For me I fell hard at Grad Nite 44 years ago. Then I took my mom, who had never been (long story but her mom took her two siblings and left her home when she was young because she had a paper route). Then I took my nonverbal daughter with physical and intellectual delays when she was 3, she LIT up. That started us going at least every two years, if not every year. The only place she just laughs and smiles the whole time. I LOVE Disney because it is just a happy place. She is now 25 and still her happiest place to be! We are now Magic Key holders.
I have become more in love with Disney as an adult seeing the joy it gives my whole family! Now I love planning all the details and countdown until our next trip!
My love for Disney started when I was watching the wonderful world of color on TV when I was a child. then, when I went to Walt Disney World in Florida, I was so intrigued by how everything was done from the cleanliness to the friendliness everything about Disney World how it made me feel happy, and to see children with smiles on their faces. That’s what I love about Disney
Thank you so much Chris for your fun videos and for asking this question! My first trip to Disneyland was I think in 1975 with my mom, dad and brother. I don’t have specific memories aside from the distinct feeling that I was somehow transported to the most amazing place on Earth! :) It was pure childhood joy. I’ve recently been converting all our old home movies/slides and love those of the first trips to the park. Over the years I went again with my parents and grandparents and I never felt happier than when we were all together as a family. Our last trip was my daughters college graduation in 2021. Sadly, all my grandparents have now passed on and my mom passed a few months ago from Leukemia. :( We’re planning to visit again in her honor since so many special times were shared there together. Someone asked me a few years back why I loved Disneyland so much and my first response was ‘nostalgia.’ I explained that it was a wonderful place full of joy, happiness and love whenever we visited and now that most of my family is gone it’s even more special for me. I can no longer visit my grandparents homes, or have my mom by my side, but as soon as I walk through the gates and enter Main Street I feel home again. It’s a feeling that I’m back at my grandparents house or walking hand in hand with my parents with all the warmth and love from childhood.
I live in Australia, so we don't have Disney parks here. But my love of Disney really started at the beginning of this year. My pet rabbit passed away. I was so upset for a long time. I still am really! I was looking for something to cheer me up and I found Ordinary Adventures on UA-cam. Watching them made me so happy. And from them I found you and magic journeys and super enthused and paging Mr morrow. You're all like my emotional support channels. So even though I've never been to disney, watching all your videos makes me happy. ❤
I did not grow up in a Disney household. I found my joy on my own.
I love Disney for 2 reasons. 1) It is an escape.
And...
2) I idolized Walt and everything he stood for (and still does in my heart).
This is a large part of why I love your videos. Because you touch on the past in almost every video you produce.
Thank you for being you!
My Disney magic started early! I'm a kid of the 80s, and I have always loved the magic of Disney. I had the posters, I even had the Bambi jeans that I wore till I absolutely grew out of them. Being a child of divorced and a military kid, Disney was the one thing constant and safe that I escape to. That and I sing like all the Disney princess 😊.
Many years ago, waiting in the ticket line before the park opening, while my wife and son were still napping in the car a few yards away, back when the parking lot was still out in front of Disneyland. I remember thinking to myself "Oh, so this is what it feels like to be an adult!". It's a sweet, beautiful memory for me.
I have not yet been to Disneyland, but we are heading out tomorrow! I became a Disney fan after going to WDW as a child- it just felt so magical to be there, everything was so clean and the cast members so amazing. I brought my husband who had never been on our honeymoon and my love just grew! We have now taken our children many times and they are Disney fanatics as well!! We are so excited to be visiting Disneyland for New Year’s Eve as my daughter’s college marching band marches down Main Street and then in the Rose Parade! Thanks for your videos- I love watching them!
I was five the first time I went to Disneyland. I remember riding Casey’s train. I think I’ve love Disneyland because I loved watching The Wonderful World of Disney on TV as a child. That show along with the many Mickey Mouse Clubs really instilled a love for all thing Disney. I told my children for the first time when they were 2 and 4. There is NOTHING like seeing Disneyland through a child’s eyes! I am also a crazy, crazy Star Wars fan and when Disney made Star Tours it was a mind blowing event. That is until I went this past August and saw Star Wars Land for the first time. I cried when I rode the Rise of the Resistance. That trip was the most magical time I have experienced at Disneyland. My husband I and went to Disneyworld 32 years ago. Although I enjoyed some of the trip, nothing is as wonderful as Disneyland. I started watching your channel a few months before my Aug trip. I’ve really grown to love you and your family. Thanks for doing so much research and sharing your life with me. Someday I hope to meet you all in person. Until then, YOU need to remember how special you are and that just being you brings so much joy into our lives.
Been going to Disney World since I was an infant. I used to write Mickey as a little girl and it was so magical for me to get letters back. I always feel the magic, and now that im older, i love to watch others experience it too.
Disneyland is just such a magical place because of the love and attention to detail that was put into it. I LOVE the history of Disneyland and the imagineers that built such a special place. I always wished I could be an imagineer. That dream never came true but Disneyland is full of a million little dreams that become reality every time I'm there. I have been able to share those dreams with my family for 30 years and now I get to pass them on to my kiddos who love it as much as I do.
My love of Disney was inherited. I grew up watching all the classic Disney movies, and my granny always brought me to Disney on Ice when it came to town. My love was really solidified when my mom took me to Disneyland the first time as a young girl, and a parade dancer pulled me into the conga line with them. Getting to share all the magic with my kids brings it full circle and fills my heart so much!
My very first trip to Disneyland with my patents was when i was 5 years old back in 1970. I grew up watching the Wonderful World of Disney every week with my parents as well as my parents taking me with them to see every Disney movie that came out. So I've been a Disney fan from a very young age. My parents were not very fond of big rides like the Matterhorn, but they sucked it up and rode that ride with me for my first time riding it. That's one of my fondest memories with my parents that year in the park. My most recent trip just a few months ago in October, both of my sons (both adults now) & I visited the parks and for me this one has become the most special. One reason is it'd been 12 years since the 3 of us went on a family vacation to Disneyland on top of the fact that my oldest son was still on his recovery road from having had a major surgery in September. There were some rides he couldn't ride but many he could. We took our time going through the parks & exploring Downtown Disney. I just so enjoyed hanging out, spending precious time with my sons in one of the happiest places ever to be and feeling like such a very blessed Mama. You've also helped make my last 2 trips memorable too. I don't think I'd have been on the lookout for hidden Mickeys if it wasn't for you. And I've found myself just really looking at the parks taking in as much as I can of those details many don't notice because they are in a hurry to go to this ride or that ride. Anyway, I'm sorry I'm rambling. Sorry for the long read.
I never went to Disneyland as a kid. But always wanted too!! I went as an adult, fell in love with the park. It was my childhood!!??
Hi Chris, the magic came to me when I was 8 years old when my grandmother took me to Disneyland. Those were my favorite memories from my grandmother. I didn’t go back until I was an adult.
Hi Chris. Another great vlog. Brother Terry and I will definately try Your Breakfast treats. Looked amazing. Our parents took us to DL first time in August, 1955. Was so exciting. My Brother was hooked from the start. I hadn't been in 40 years, and Terry treated myself and Husband in October 2014. I've become re-hooked since then. Our greatest joy is the people. The children, the smiles, the atmosphere. The aromas and most of all, introducing friends and family to their first trip. The excitement, sparkle in their eyes, the smiles that remain on their faces through the trip. Our hearts swell. Then of course meeting you, Amanda and Miles has been an added bonus. Thank you for all you do and keeping me feeling positive about myself. Until we meet again our friend ❤ MJ and Terry
I grew up on the original Disney cartoons with Mickey and the gang back in the 80s. I didn’t have the happiest home, but I always felt safe with Disney. Disney movies, Disney original cartoons, anything Disney made me feel like everything was going to be OK. When I go to Disneyland now as an adult, I feel like I’m home and it’s just the most magical, happy place I could ever be in. I feel like I get my childhood back when I go and I just love how clean and well thought out it is.
I love Casey Junior’s Train! It’s one of my favorite rides along with the Matterhorn. With Casey Juniors Train, I love the sound of the track beneath you. I love seeing the view from the Matterhorn. That’s why it’s so magical. When you’re at a Disney park, or watching something Disney, you just get to be a kid again, no matter your age.
Disney is accepting of all people, cultures, backgrounds, views, and they just see the good in every person, and don’t judge anyone for their lifestyle. They just accept everybody in as a child of any age.
My wife and I have gone to a Disney location every year since we started dating. Which has been for 25 years this year. We love hanging out on the porch on Main Street and also hitching a ride on any of the Main Street vehicles. Now we love introducing Disneyland to our kids and watching them get so excited! Thanks for the great videos! Hope you and the family had a great Christmas and have a happy new year! 🤙
I live Disney so much because i grew up very poor and never went as a kid. I now go to Disneyland several times a year. I simply love the feeling i get when there. As a middle-aged man, I love taking my family often, and i love that i always feel like a kid again when im at Disney.
I love Disneyland, didn’t get to go until I was in my 30’s, went with my mother and my 6 year old daughter and had a blast! It’s just the Happiest place on earth! Have been back about 7 times and looking forward to a big trip with my husband our daughter & her husband , my son his wife & 2 children. I enjoy watching your videos to get my Disneyland fix.
