"Bring Back The Peoplemover." Not to date myself but I remember Disneyland just before the Matterhorn was built and walking through the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea exhibit. Great watch, The 80's -- best decade ever, great music and movies.
While my dad had taken me to.Knott's dozen of times my first time to Disneyland was when my school took us to Disneyland for our 8th grade graduation in 1978. You brought back plenty of memories from that trip.
Great video, I agree on the building's sitting empty unless they just can't get employees. Loved the retro photos of you and your mom and dad. Is your brother around, would love to see him in some future videos...
I got lost there. I was hungry and tired. I circled around but couldn't find my family. I started to panic. I sat at a curb, tears in my eyes watching other families, together. Suddenly an older woman, park employee, asked if I needed help. I told her what happened. She motioned to me to follow her. We went to a building, the door opened, followed by another set of doors. "My family!!!!" We were together again 😊And then I heard the words, "Boy, if you ever get lost again, believe you me!" I think I was 26 at the time. 😎
I’m an eastern U.S. guy who grew up throughout the 80’s and 90’s, so I visited Walt Disney World a few times growing up. I’ve now lived just a few miles north of Disney in Orlando for 26 years. My mom saves everything, and recently showed me receipts from our first trip in 1987. One-day one-park tickets were just $33. You pay about that, $30, just for parking today. Crazy! Have been to the parks out west a few times though. There are so many things I wish they’d bring back or just utilize altogether at Disneyland. So many opportunities there. Especially for updated throwbacks. On the People Mover/Rocket Rods, that’s a whole long story in itself. The Rocket Rods basically damaged the track there because the speed/torque of the vehicles was too much. It’s my understanding that ever since they haven’t been able to even use it for the People Mover again, and it would be too expensive to fix. So it just sits derelict. No idea why the Captain EO/Honey, I Shrunk the Audience theater isn’t being used. What a waste. I miss the Skyway at the park here in Florida, just like the one out west. That I think mainly went away for two reasons. One, safety. And two, it wasn’t ADA compliant, and people in wheelchairs and with other disabilities couldn’t ride it.
Hey Kurt,,🖖 Growing up in the 60's and 70's wow 😳 this Park 🎢🎡🎠🚀has changed payment with money 💰💵 was so much better dealing with the app is crazy.. My son Max 8 yrs old 🙋 wants to go to Disney World now.. I remember the Matterhorn that was great 🏔️⛰️and Indiana Jones ride..Max and I Dad,🙋🧔we think 🤔 we would love to see Star wars that looks like a great ride..We love you're old before and after pictures what the place used to look like and I remember some of it.. You were a cute kid 🧒,Ha,Ha,.. Great Video 🎥 and I guess we'll be going soon because your video got my son wanting to go 🚶🚶✌️🤟 Peace.Thanks..
Yeah, I only saw pictures of it online until I found some partially used ones in my mom's closet recently. Looks to be from 1968-ish when she first immigrated here.
The ticket books stopped about the mid 80s. My sister's job would give her family passes, they were red, white, and gold. You showed the pass to the operator of the ride and it worked for all the rides...
Kurt I have never been to Disneyland at this point. But I have been tons of times to Walt Disney World and the Magic Kingdom. I know the parks are similar but they look so different from each other. I have always heard that Disneyland is much smaller than our Magic Kingdom in Florida. If that is true I can't imagine how crowded it can get at times.
Taking pictures was expensive back then the film and then the developing , after all that sometimes some of the pictures didn’t come out. Plus the band that I played in as a kid (14/15) played on the Tomorrow land stage, our drummer / lead singer was a well known child actor. We had a blast.
Back then, a lot of people would also try to conserve exposures in case we needed them for something better, thus missing out on taking pictures of some stuff.
Your photo guess is pretty accurate. The bricks however were placed in the late 90s on Main Street due to too many individuals slipping on the slick red concrete when it got wet. Fun fact...in front of the old cigar shop, buried below the bricks is a mayonnaise jar with a "mikey" name tag (mine), a signed $20 bill and a Ken Griffey Jr. rookie card. Wonder if it's still there...
Forgot to say, early on when we went to Disneyland there were still "Orange Groves," really and we could smell the orange blossoms. Still go to Disneyland many times a year with my kids and grandson.
If you look at 8:41 it shows the start of the people mover and that big “shrinking machine” . It gives the illusion that all the people shrink going thru that tube on the people mover. As a kid I thought that was so cool. But as I got older I realized the people mover went around the shrinking machine all out of view of everyone. At least the Pirates are real.
Don't feel bad. Disneyland doesn't exactly advertise that it's 30 or 40 miles away from all the tourist hot spots: Hollywood, Beverly Hills, and Venice Beach. They would much rather tourists just thought of it as LA.
@@MikeHunt90731 It's absolutely worth going for locals. We get discounted tickets. No flights. No hotels. We know when to go to avoid the crowds and heat. You can bring in food. We don't need souvenirs because we go all the time. I even have a secret spot to park if I dont want pay the $30. It's a pretty good value for a day of fun.
80's to mid 90's was the best imo. I remember the main street electrical parade, country bear jamboree, america sings, original star tours, starcade, skyway, people mover, etc. I haven't been since 2006. I watch the streamers today and it looks packed and the old rides that had a makeover changed for the worse.
I used to live in Orange from 1975-1986. I used to go to Disneyland once a month for many years. I refuse to go anylonger. We noticed a huge change in 2014. In the 70s, 80s, and 90s, Disneyland was on point with small crowds. It's unbelievably expensive and over crowded now.
I love Disneyland. Was just there last Thursday with the niece and nephew. It's part of being a SoCal native. You go as a child and then you pass your love of the park on to the next generation.
The Atomic age used to be called the Cosmic Age when my family stayed there. It was fantastic, there was a restaurant on site , and a “ secret “ hole in the fence which let directly into the Disneyland parking lot which in the mornings would cut your time to Main St. in half. So many memories in that hotel, as well as the Candy Cane Inn. Another great 80’s hotel for Disneyland guests. So many memories
Ohhhhh that riverboat ride area. Have such vague memories of sitting there and snacking with the family on my first trip when I was four. Always one of the first things I think of about when remembering those early years but had no idea where it actually was in the park. Actually thought I might have made it up or dreamed it or something. Surreal to see it again in your video.
Thank you for going back. I had some good memories there. Mom would drop me and little brother off at the gate and we'd run to space mountain to get a good spot in line and then we'd hang at the arcade. I wish they'd just open new attractions and leave a lot of the old ones. There is a lot to be said for the old charm. I miss Captain EO. That was the coolest.
I turned in to a Finding Nemo ride. Sub still there and running. I cannot remember what it was exactly between 80’s/90’s. I hated that ride and legit only remember riding it a handful of times full of times.
My best memories of the Carousel of Progress building was when it was "America Sings(74-88)", and yeah, Disney has a real issue with leaving buildings empty. Many of the America Sings animatronics ended up in Splash Mountain as repurposed figures, so they didn't completely go to waste. In Florida of course WDW has as much room as they'll ever need to build new things, while Disneyland needs every inch. So why they leave so many buildings unused, that could help give high capacity days places for people to spread out more is beyond me.The Starcade Arcade was one of my favorites anywhere, as I grew up in So Cal and there was always great arcades everyplace you went, but Disney's was still one of the best.
I remember going in the mid 80s when i was 5 or 6 on our family vacation to California and my grandma bought ciggys from a tobacco shop inside the park. Crazy to think there was a tobacco shop there.
Me and a few friends have the distinct honor of being kicked out of Disney World, Sea World and Bush Gardens between 1981-1985. Might be why I never made Eagle Scout ;) lol
I go to Disneyland every 2 weeks with my Magic Keys.Such great memories but you forgot to mention one place. The Tahitian Terrace, it was a Hawaiian themed restaurant next to the Tiki Room. They used to have scheduled shows and dinner. I used to enjoy it every time!
Wow, thank you for this time machine travel.. I have never been to the Disney parks plus I can't afford it... but this will do for now.. looks like you had great adventures there. Love the history you always point out.
I made the mistake of not paying for a multi park pass at Disney World last year. I wanted to go to 2 different parks in one day on my very last day of my vacation. They charged me for all 4 days I paid for even though it was past 5 PM. I will never set foot in a Disney park if I could help it
Kurt, haven't they gotten rid of the submarine ride as well? As far as the old People Mover track, I believe they kicked around the idea of bringing a version of it back, but the track is no longer up to building codes to support a ride and passengers. Bringing it up to code would be more expensive than building a new track from what I understand
I could swear there was some kind of ride that went under the streets, and was frog themed, but it's been so long, I honestly can't remember if I'm misremembering that. LOL
@@Jacob-nu4nd I do not recall saying anywhere that the parks are empty nor do I care if they are or not. I said Disney took a nice dive with me, meaning I don’t care about Disney and their very strange politics
First time there was June 1975. I was 4, turned 5 day after we got home. Among other rides we dis was Mr Toads Wild Ride. Fast forward to 2008, went again and did rodes i did then. Whfe asked what Mr Toads was and not remembering it, said its a ride thru Hell. I was pleasantly surprised when we turned the corner going thru fire and brimstone LOL. Guess i did remember haha. Only 2 times there.
Last year I went was right after the Indiana Jones ride opened. 1997 or 98 i think. There's tons of pictures of my family back to the 60's at Disneyland and myself in 83/84 which I was too young to remember. Frontierland was always my favorite area and close to Pirates and Haunted Mansion. To mention the parking i remember when the lots were designated by a character and number ie Mickey 2 to remember where you parked!
The Rocket ride hasn't moved. Its still there abandoned in place on top of the abandoned People Mover loading area. All the rocket pods were trashed, but the mechanism atill exists. The new one is altogether different. Disney doesn't like to pay to remove things. Its cheaper to let them rot in plain sight.
I remember vividly from the 80s where the Partners statue now sits in the hub there was a Motorcycle GLOBE OF DEATH! It was intense… motorcycles flying around all upside down and sideways in this steel globe. My dad didn’t want to stay for the fireworks but we begged and talked him into it. When we got to the car in the parking lot (now where DCA sits) a firework had dropped down and melted into the soft top on my dad’s green 1978 Delta 88. 😂 It suddenly was no longer the the happiest place on earth. lol
I was there in 2011 but I didn’t see Star tours but I think it was closed down and was re opening soon after. All the way from England and it was closed :(
Videopolis was cool and always busy. I believe they shot a show there also for DTV on the Disney channel back then. They would play videos or have a live band play. No Doubt played on the Tomorrowland stage before they made it big...
I thought The Rocket Rods were always on the roof ? I loved the Starcade , The Skyway , and Autopia . I wish I could of went to Videopolis . I feel like there is a bunch of Tommorowland prime real estate that is not being used right now smh . I can't believe they closed Thunder Ranch BBQ that place was my fav. place to eat next to Blue Bayou , Thunder Ranch had affordable , quality , large portions . I have so many Disneyland stories one of them includes going to Disney jail as a teen and one includes seeing Michael Jackson....so many memories . Disneyland used to be for everyone obviously it is for rich people now lol $184 for Saturdays ? So disheartening , anyways good video
does disneyland still give military members price cuts. i recall going to a military place in orange county with my cousin and they sold disney tickets for 11 bucks for adults and 6 bucks for kids under 12 or so back in the eary 90's
Yes, teacups are still there. They moved them over about 50 feet but it's the same ride. Fantasyland has been refurbished and some rides updated but it's much the same as it was back then.
I think the first time I went to Disneyland was in 1984 or 85, and the next time was in 2005, things had already changed dramatically, and I didn't recognize anything from my first visit, if I went today I am sure it would be all different again.
How many videos you got in the bag bro? Just seen you with the Woo today and last time you were with him, took a couple months for your video to come out. Granted it was the big pee-wee project. I was expecting a warner brothers video from you next. Lol
Whoa whoa whoa! You can’t talk about innoventions and not America Sings. A bunch of the characters in America Sings ended up in Splash Mountain, but some of the singing chicken internal robotics became the actual robots inside Star tours queue fixing droids, including the original feet, painted to the blues and silvers of the robots.

"Bring Back The Peoplemover." Not to date myself but I remember Disneyland just before the Matterhorn was built and walking through the 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea exhibit. Great watch, The 80's -- best decade ever, great music and movies.
Getting rid of the People mover was an incredibly dumb move, say goodbye to Autopia s gas smell soon
I remember watching Captain EO with my family when I was a kid 😭
Wow Videopolis!
I forgot about that one.
Swedish Egil was young!
I’m glad you showed Videopolis. Like your sister I was there every weekend until I started working there in 89. Love this video

Thank you for the flash back!!! I was in a marching band that performed on main st. In 1993… haven’t been back since… good times 😊
Great stuff. Brought back a lot of memories... They have also changed the entrance to Club 33.
Thanks so much for sharing these personal memories! Another great video as always!
Kurt, it is always such a pleasure to watch your videos.

Always have a meet up spot when at Disneyland. I got separated from my friends once and it was awful.
Motor Boats, Journey Through Inner Space, Haunted House,
were the best rides to smooch with your junior high girlfriend.

They used to have ticket books-A ticket, E ticket, etc. I don't know when they stopped that.

Great memories. Nowadays anything Disney is a No-Go.
My wallet got picked there in like '83 or 4. Ever since, I keep it in front pocket. I had a nice little bud in there too. Damn!
Velcro flaps on my pockets. They aren't getting my wallet.
I laughed when you talked about the mystery of the old missing photos. I have no pics of myself before age 4!!
Forgot to say, early on when we went to Disneyland there were still "Orange Groves,"
really and we could smell the orange blossoms. Still go to Disneyland many times a year with my kids and grandson.
I miss the 80's...best Decade EVER!

I had no idea that Disneyland was in Orange County. I always thought it was closer to LA. U learn something new everyday.
You're kidding right?

There in 1991, 1993, 1997.
Space Mountain, good ride.
Before leftist woke crap
I love when you go in full story telling mode. Great video.
My first time to DL was in 2015. I was like 40 yrs old. I proudly wore my 1st time Button they give to you.

Great backround music!🙂💯💥👍!
The parking lot for Disneyland used to go all the way up to the entrance. In fact many times we parked under the monorail at the front entrance.

Great work Kurt! On your next CHiPs you should do filming locations for S1 Ep. 13 where John’s cop impersonator is finally captured.
This makes me feel nostalgic, I last went in 2001.
I have really fond memories of that parking lot...for some reason. Lol. Just the anticipation of walking up to the gate I guess.
Around 2010, the annual pass for Southern California residents about $165

Never been to Disneyland but been to Disney World many many times. But not anymore, Disney really took a serious nose dive with me.

@@Jacob-nu4nd I do not recall saying anywhere that the parks are empty nor do I care if they are or not. I said Disney took a nice dive with me, meaning I don’t care about Disney and their very strange politics

Crowds don't look too bad! It was swamped last time we went.
This is one of the best times of the year to visit. After Easter and before school let's out.
Toddler Kurt is so adorable!

I’ve never been there but I’m shocked at all the vacant attractions. Are they hurting financially?
Videopolis was cool and always busy. I believe they shot a show there also for DTV on the Disney channel back then. They would play videos or have a live band play. No Doubt played on the Tomorrowland stage before they made it big...

I thought The Rocket Rods were always on the roof ? I loved the Starcade , The Skyway , and Autopia . I wish I could of went to Videopolis . I feel like there is a bunch of Tommorowland prime real estate that is not being used right now smh . I can't believe they closed Thunder Ranch BBQ that place was my fav. place to eat next to Blue Bayou , Thunder Ranch had affordable , quality , large portions .
I have so many Disneyland stories one of them includes going to Disney jail as a teen and one includes seeing Michael Jackson....so many memories . Disneyland used to be for everyone obviously it is for rich people now lol $184 for Saturdays ? So disheartening , anyways good video
I still have the ticket from Disneyland gotten back in 1988 and at the time for a child it was $16 USD. Today, its almost 10 times the price!
One day $104? Ouch!
Wow, so much that is now defunct in tomorrow land…strange choices it seems like to me! Very interesting tour though, thanks for the video
does disneyland still give military members price cuts. i recall going to a military place in orange county with my cousin and they sold disney tickets for 11 bucks for adults and 6 bucks for kids under 12 or so back in the eary 90's
I met Jamie Lee Curtis and some of her family in Disneyland 1998.
Give me back the Disneyland with the parking lot. You can keep DCA.
I’m sad to say that I was too young when videopolis was around.
Did you stop and get a Dole Whip while you were there?
I first went to DL in the 70s! the teacups still there?
Yes, teacups are still there. They moved them over about 50 feet but it's the same ride. Fantasyland has been refurbished and some rides updated but it's much the same as it was back then.
I think the first time I went to Disneyland was in 1984 or 85, and the next time was in 2005, things had already changed dramatically, and I didn't recognize anything from my first visit, if I went today I am sure it would be all different again.
Prices are insane 😤
I miss the original Jungle Cruise ride.
Alot of has changed. It sucks now. Have fun staring at your phone all day on their app
I haven't been in over 30 years 😂 I'm 42
I'll never return and that's fine
Get off my Lawn!
How many videos you got in the bag bro? Just seen you with the Woo today and last time you were with him, took a couple months for your video to come out. Granted it was the big pee-wee project. I was expecting a warner brothers video from you next. Lol
Whoa whoa whoa! You can’t talk about innoventions and not America Sings. A bunch of the characters in America Sings ended up in Splash Mountain, but some of the singing chicken internal robotics became the actual robots inside Star tours queue fixing droids, including the original feet, painted to the blues and silvers of the robots.
I like to know in office,where the ice ring filmed,the shopping mall,where they talked,
