    If Disney wants to sell more tickets and win back hearts, they need to reach out to Brickey and pay this man to make content like this. You sir would be a great asset to the Disney company. You are very gifted Brickey

    There’s a lot of things the in the park that haven’t changed for the better. But, if you take the time to stop and look around through a different set of eyes, you can still find pockets of magic the way Walt envisioned. Thank you Brickey, for another great video that pulls at the heartstrings!

    What an amazing video showing the then and now of Disneyland that still allows anyone to explore, dream, and become anyone or anything they wanted to be.
    For those of a different generation, what a way to show the difference of the beginning on now of Disneyland and a time that still stands true.
    For me, a young blond toe haired boy, my love for Disney all started at the tables of Galactic Grill listening to a cover band singing Laura Branigan's song "Gloria". Insat there beating the table as if i was a drummer. I have always wanted to play the drums, however, im a musically challenged. Therefore to this day i beat the steering wheel, the air, my thighs as if I'm Phil Collins!!
    I've said this before, and I'll say it again, Disneyland I can be any age and when I step back in, I revert back to a 10 yr old boy who wants to see it all and do it all.

    I went to Disneyland last year. Before that, it was in the 90s. There was A LOT more to experience this time around, but lots of rides broke down and there were SO many people I couldn't do half as much as I wanted to, plus the Main Street Parade was impossible to see. I was so excited to get back, and was also a bit disappointed, especially after the hefty price tag.

What fun to see Art Linkletter, Irene Dunne, Admiral Fowler, Bob Cummings, a movie star named Reagan and of course Walt, himself, all carefully juxtaposed against 2024 imagery. People waving from the Castle Parapets? Awesome! Thank you for your artistic eye, and for the pains taken to create this. Well done!

    I've just visited the Disneyland Resort for the first time (my Home Park is Disneyland Paris) and I cannot describe by words what I felt when I entered Main Street, seeing all the characters, some on rides (!!), seeing all the movements on Main Street with cars, trams, bus...feeling such a special atmosphere was absolutely amazing. Disneyland is indeed a special place, with great rides, for sure, but there's something magical that I have not felt for years.
    So, yes, Disneyland is still worh it and will continue to be worth. I've spent 4 incredible days at your resort that I will never forget!

That was a really really good Video. I usually go to Disney World every year but couldn’t go due to no money. I said before in a different video I never been to DisneyLand and b/c of your videos I actually considered going there. I looked into trying to go there instead and then realizing the cost, that too made me cry b/c its to expensive at the moment. The dreaming part is what got me by the way. I’ll keep dreaming of being out there in the Land of the West I guess.
