no public parking today at the anaheim
0:19
hotel

which for a small fee you can park
0:22
directly across
0:23
from the harbor entrance most likely
0:25
filled up
0:27
pre-rope drop that's probably why it
0:28
states that it's five minutes to nine am
0:30
rope drop was at eight we're getting
0:32
here just a little after opening
0:34
looks as if the ride share drop off over
0:36
there right before right but
0:38
inside the archway entrance is a real
0:40
beehive of activity yeah there's a whole
0:42
line of
0:43
people being dropped off this is a
0:45
historic occasion
0:47
66 years in the making
1:05

1:11
on the foliage july 17 1955
1:16
walt disney opened up his original magic
1:18
kingdom
1:19
of disneyland anaheim california
1:22
and i am here to celebrate six decades
1:24
plus six years
1:26
ahead of time is that right yeah
1:29
the 66th anniversary if you will there
1:32
is no monorail going by to celebrate
1:34
but i will that will not deter me from
1:37
having a wonderful morning
1:39
into the day i don't know how long i'm
1:41
going to be here for but i'm
1:42
hoping that they will have some special
1:44
occasions that will be rearing its head
1:47
oh yes
1:53
a lot of other people too you can see a
1:53
lot of people walking in i'm inviting
1:54
you to join me
1:56
shall you oh yes rolling in
1:59
rolling in oh goodness the esplanade
2:03
is extremely packed and busy oh yeah
2:06
there's there's quite a few people here
2:07
for the for the anniversary or just in
2:09
general i don't know if they even know
2:11
it's well some of them probably do but
2:13
yeah it's it's busy
2:14
oh how perfect is that the train going
2:17
by
2:17
the earnest marsh going by almost in
2:20
it's about nine
2:22
9 20 now almost done going in gate 31 or
2:25
32 whichever way it splits
2:27
oh yeah nice to see the track
2:35
it ended up taking a full cycle of the
2:35
train not a grand circle tour
2:38
but the train loaded and unloaded before
2:40
i got in
2:41
the crowds are pretty intense and not
2:43
just that it does take a while because
2:45
it's kind of complicated with the
2:46
reservation system
2:47
so i was probably standing there for 15
2:49
minutes in that line i showed
2:51
oh yeah topiary mickey though always
2:54
good to see topiary mickey
2:56
it is now 9 30 a.m it begins
2:59
and also another good view walking
3:01
directly and the first thing i see is
3:02
the horse-drawn carriage going right
3:04
down the middle of main street
3:05
usa i also want to say hi to the
3:07
partners of course
3:08
walt and mickey for making this dream
3:10
become a reality and a close-up version
3:12
of sleeping beauty castle sometimes i
3:15
say pluralize sleeping beauties but i
3:16
think it's just sleeping beauty
3:18
castle stopped off in the emporium real
3:20
quick i'm kind of wondering if they're
3:21
even going to acknowledge this year
3:23
they still have the merch out for the 65
3:26
years
3:27
of magic highly doubtful they will
3:29
heavily promote
3:30
the 66. still have quite a bit of the
3:33
65th
3:34
merchandise to go through including this
3:36
one that has cast of characters
3:38
including
3:38
mr toad on it this collared shirt and
3:41
this drinkable
3:43
well not a drinkable you can't drink the
3:46
outer exterior of this mug but they do
3:48
have the 65s i think they're probably
3:49
just gonna stick with
3:51
the 65 just a just a hunch i'm curious
3:54
to see what they do today if they do
3:56
anything maybe they'll celebrate the 65
3:59
and 66
4:00
kind of like knott's berries celebrating
4:02
their 100th anniversary on their 101st
4:04
anniversary
4:05
because the parks were closed last year
4:06
i really like this one in fact i own i
4:08
almost wore it today except the design
4:10
is on the back
4:10
i'm more of a front design kind of guy
4:13
but the
4:14
the 65 is stated right here don't be
4:17
deceived though it's the 66.
4:18
oh hello maynard hello there good to see
4:20

4:22
okay what do you think of the 66th
4:24

4:38
so that cracks 66 years old all right no
4:38

4:50

5:35
and they keep going like this and then
5:37
you go to the extent
5:38
and they hit the ceiling bam bam
5:45
you know the tv show i think shark tank
5:45
or something i think we own that one too
5:46
all right there was a scientist who came
5:48
up with this idea of a marshmallow hat
5:50
okay the marshmallow has the little
5:52
strap for the elephant
5:54
the scientist he gives all the
5:55
marshmallow hats to the elephants down
5:57

6:05

8:50
license don't let him drive but you hop
8:51
behind the wheel anyway look who's
8:53

and i heard there's going to be a
9:03
cavalcade on main street
9:06

9:50
by going on we're going off-road the icy
9:53
peaks of the matterhorn off-road keep
9:56
this thing
9:58
off of the soil well i guess that's the
10:00
soil that's foliage
10:02
no monorail going by either kind of neat
10:05
if they ran the monorail to celebrate
10:07
the anniversary that would be cool you
10:08
call it an anniversary or a birthday
10:11
i'll call it a birthday what do you call
10:14
it
10:14
i usually say anniversary

10:44
character cavalcades
10:46
they have done them some over at dca but
10:48
they haven't brought any back over here
10:50
to

10:52
little rarity and a celebratory
10:54
character cavalcade happy 66. they got
10:57
the banner out
10:58
and we got the big cheese
11:01
boss man himself rolling through mickey

11:42

14:56
buildings
14:56
but we'll let it slide all right i'm

i'm going to throw the matterhorn in
15:01
there also which is not opening day yes
15:03
powderhorn is not open day it was a
15:04
mound of dirt but we'll just say that
15:06
the dirt turned into petals there you go
15:08
if you look closely you can see a couple
15:10
of the canoes
15:11
pulling into the port over there
15:19
all right off the mark twain and now
15:20
walking over to poo corner see what they
15:22
got over there special treats for the
15:23
for the 66. wow look at there's a lot of
15:26
people here
15:27
arrived over at pooh corner and no there
15:29
are no cupcakes over here
15:31
only the apples only the special apples
15:34
and here's a look at the
15:35
candy the rack that they have here
15:37
there's even a watermelon mickey caramel
15:39
apple and there's also this one looking
15:41
very very this might be the anniversary
15:43
one
15:43
oh look and there's also yeah i always
15:45
say it but this place definitely
15:48
it's a real beehive would you say this
15:50
place is a real beehive of activity
15:52
qualifies a couple of times a week
15:55
because there's bee hives above us
15:57
and there's activities there's activity
15:59
and beehives stopping off to get a
16:01
beverage here a cool and crisp beverage
16:05
look at this creepy individual here sit
16:07
next to the popcorn
16:09
i went with i went double i went with
16:10
the coca-cola and a dasani
16:12
you would double too water and
16:14
electrolytes and honestly one of the
16:15
main reasons i got two beverages because
16:17
the line was so long at the
16:19
at the stand to get something to drink
16:22
that i didn't want to wait again so i
16:24
just went ahead and got two
16:25
i'm gonna give it a little inside tip
16:27
well at least what i like to do
16:28
i hardly ever get on the train station
16:30
at main street because the line is too
16:32
long
16:32
i usually go to tomorrowland or
16:35
frontierland rarely toontown
16:37
toontown sometimes takes a little bit
16:38
too long because not many people get off
16:40
at toontown
16:41
so i don't know frontierland is like a
16:44
good stock spot for me
16:45
decided to wait a cycle and not go on
16:47
this one with the front forward bench
16:49
seating
16:50
and wait for the holiday cars instead of
16:53
hello wait for the holiday cars that way
16:55
you can have a
16:56
instead of looking forward you would
16:59
look
16:59
kind of in towards the inside of the
17:01
park so we're going to wait for the 10
17:02
minutes
17:03
i wasn't gonna do it and bricky talked
17:04
me into it i now realize we just made a
17:06
big mistake because if we're going
17:07
authentic
17:08
1955 those were the drinks dang it
17:12
so in reality if you're trying to do all
17:13
the opening day attractions
17:15
you've gotta wait for that one to come
17:17
back around three times
17:20
all right this is more like it oh yeah
17:23
the ward kimball
17:29
and notice the seating hope i can see a
17:31
canoe down there
17:32
and i did hear the ferry boat but it's
17:34
kind of around the
17:36
bend over there all the way around this
17:45
canoe
17:46
without a doubt i will be going on big
17:47
thunder mountain railroad today
17:49
it is not going to be an anniversary
17:51
without you best removing them
17:54
and exiting the train i got to see
17:56
mickey and minnie
17:57
oh in there i think this was the mickey
17:59
and minnie birthday uh minnie and mickey
18:01
birthday gear
18:02
next up the icy peaks or is it the icy
18:05
slopes
18:06
of the matterhorn i never know if it's
