    Chris, I am always amazed at the trivia you share! I figure I know most of the trivia of Disney, but then you come up with all of this! You truly have a great eye when looking at things. The newspaper, the billboard, etc. I notice them but walk on by. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

    That was really cool stuff about the statue. A fun story about Oswald for me. When my oldest nephew was little, he loved watching me play Epic Mickey. When the second one came out, he saw it at the store and asked my brother's wife to get it. When she said no, he pleaded, "But Uncle Justin really needs it." Such a good memory.

    Mortimer was the name of the mouse Walt found in the woods behind Laughagram Studios in Kansas City, MO before going to California. It was Mortimer, Oswald and then Mortimer (Mickey).

    Fun Fact: I graduated from a high school in *Santa Fe Springs.* I always knew about the *Santa Fe Railroad,* pretty funny that both were Santa Fe's. Totally agree about Oswald being the *Partner's Statue* but it would really cool if they included both (Mickey and Oswald).

    Thanks Chris, fantastic video. After several visits to Disney California the billboard of the train stops and the relation with Walt's statue, his shoe, the stamps at the suitcase, Eye Works are totally new for me. Greetings from Mexico and a petition derived from your video about favorite sounds: a video about favorite planters or small gardens.

  • @abitoutofsorts
    @abitoutofsorts Рік тому +3

    I agree with your timeline, but the creation of Mickey was where his success came from. Oswald was a stepping stone for sure, but like Walt said ‘around here we keep moving forward.’ Had Walt chosen to dwell on his failure there would never have been a Mickey. Sometimes failure can define us, and sometimes failure can define your path to success. It’s all about the perspective.

    If the suitcase is from when he first moved, that would be before Oswald too! There’s another character. Julius the cat! He was from the Alice Comedies! There’s a store named after Julius in California adventure!

    Oswald was created in 1927 so even that would be after Walt reached LA. The character that would be timely appropriate would be Pete from the Alice Cartoons.

    THANK YOU for reminding me about Get Away Today!!! I am running the Disneyland half and they changed the finish line location from previous years. So I decided to change hotels last minute! But the new hotel was $350 more than the original. I checked get away today after seeing your video and got a room at the same hotel for $250 cheaper, only $100 more than our original hotel! I’ve been panicking about it and this was such a relief. Thank you!

    My guess is that it’s not meant to be a literal representation of Walt in 1923. He looks older, and he’s wearing a wedding band (Walt married Lillian in 1925). Some of the articles about the statue and the artists alluded to Mickey “being in his heart” and the dreams and stories Walt had inside him. So Mickey was there in spirit, and the potential for his creation and the subsequent success of the Disney company was set in motion when Walt stepped onto that train. No wonder Walt loved trains!

    $40 in 1923 is equivalent to $722.41 today, except, the money went WAY further. We hear $40 today and we go "What! No way" but back then, it was probably enough to get a place, and food for a while

    Hey Chris, just want to say I agree what others have already said here about your knowledge of Disneyland history, but wanted to add would think/have for awhile would be a "dream my heart makes when I wish upon a star" you & Justin Scarred doing a collaboration video on Disney history. His knowledge growing up living so close to the park and your knowledge (me doing your hand gesture blows my mind). Also thanks for your positive messages end of videos. My significant other and I both fans of you and watched your but not separate, literally we'd both make that time to watch together. Well he having type2 diabetes passed away April 30th and I kinda just tucked away missing a lot your content until recently I've re-emerged to catch up what I've missed since then saying to self continue our journey with you in his memory.

    Just think if Walt did get the rights to Oswald at the beginning then Mickey may never have been created!!!!!! Also if Walt just stayed at being an animator at Universal then there may have never been a Disney world or the whole Disney franchise of characters and films. Life’s little turns and twists 😮😮😮.

    Aloha Chris..sorry I knew all those secrets but still fun.
    As a note Walt's dad worked on the Chicago Words fair which was refered to as The White City because the buildings were all white with small lights around the buildings edges(sound familiar?) ti was surrounded by gardens and water ways designed by the same man that designed NY Central Park. Walt though young was influenced in some way by this.
    As a note to you, i have booked my last two trips to DL with GAT and asked them to give you credit for it and they said they did. I stayed at the Castle Inn and Suites...good value and close to the park, thank you for the recomendation on GAT.
