Nice to see your vlog. Efteling was built before Disney parks existed. It is a 2 day park if you want to see and do everything at the park. Efteling started out as a football field with a little playground. Then they built the fairytale forest to draw more people. It became so popular they built more and more rides and attractions around the fairytale forest. The Efteling is not owned by a big company like Disney but by a foundation that is why it has more affordable prices. Efteling is in a nature reserve and close to houses where people live so they cant just built extra rides and rollercoasters due to noise complaints. So they will focus on doing theming of rides which they are great at even tough they have much less budget than Disney. I have been to Disneyland in the US and Disneyland Paris, I prefer Efteling. Disneyworld however I have never been to but I know it is really big and they have a much larger budget than Efteling. P.s. The Efteling has been building one of the most expensive haunted houses in the world last year costing 35 million euros. It is called Danse Macabre Unfortunately it will only open in October.
Thanks for your comment. I’d love to go back to Efteling. I’ve missed some of the forest area, the wooden coaster and piranha were both down and of course I’d LOVE to ride Danse Macabre when it opens!
There are actually some attractions that open early for acces guests! It changes around but currently its : Carnaval Festival, Vogel Rok, Sirocco, Archipel, Fata Morgana, Max & Moritz, Droomvlucht, Villa Volta and Baron 1898. So thats a lot more than you could possibly do in half an hour and it includes some of the major ones as you can see and they are all listed on the website and app. Unfortunately you happened to pick one that isnt 😞. The checkerboarded flag on top of Pyhton is the Noord Brabant flag, the province the Efteling is in.
Charlie was in charge of the app, so I’ll blame him for not telling me which rides were open 😊 We went on another day and tried Symbolica…so no early entry again! Thanks for the info about the flag. I had no idea!
Always love the confusing when a ride stops🤭. It is usually to let people in with a disability. In carnival festival they say something about a fanfare that is coming trough 🤣. First time on your channel, you will go in my list of vloggers 🥰 love it.
Thank you for your kind words. I assumed they were letting someone with a disability on. The delay wasn’t very long at all. It’s interesting when it happens though!
@@thegadaboutdad1057 I thought he said: 'bestelling van de koning'. But if you say it really fast it could sound a bit like 'auf wiedersehen'. And he is supposed to be a German baker so it's not a strange thought. I've tried to double check but I cannot find the fragment.
@@thegadaboutdad1057found it! First he said 'auf wiedersehen', and then he said 'bestelling van de koning', which is Dutch for 'order from the king'. So, there it is!
It looks like you had a brilliant day, and the weather mostly behaved, so that was a bonus!
We did. I’d thoroughly recommend a visit.
The weather was changeable on an hour by hour basis!

And thank you for subscribing. I really do appreciate it.
Nice video guys!
Thank you for your lovely comment.
The man with the basket said: 'order from the king'.
Thank you!
Was it Dutch? Part of me thought it was German…could have sworn I heard ‘Auf weirdersehen’

Thank you so much for clearing that up. I felt quite rude because he spoke to me and I didn’t respond because I didn’t know how!
Looks like you had a great time. When are you going back?
Not sure yet, but I’m hoping to one day.
is this better cheaper than Disneyland Paris ?
It’s definitely cheaper. I preferred it to Disney Paris but not DisneyWorld Florida.
To safe time on lunch, we usually get a take away at Pagode and eat it on the Gondoletta, which is a 20 minute ride.
Of course you missed the most famous attraction, which is the fairytale Forrest. I hope you got it on your other day
Excellent tip. Thank you!
We went to the fairytale forest on the second day. There will be a vlog soon!
