Anaheim CA May 2025
Transcript
0:03
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:03
the recording of this. It is Thursday,
0:05
May 15th, 2025. I am in Anaheim,
0:08
California.
0:10
Tomorrow the kickoff of the 70th
0:13
anniversary of Disneyland begins, which
0:15
is kind of interesting because the
0:17
anniversary technically is not till July
0:19
17th, but they're kind of bringing it
0:22
into fruition a little bit early. I'm
0:24
going to pop over into Downtown Disney.
0:26
I'm not going to go in the park today.
0:27
I'm going to stay on Harbor, but I'm
0:29
going to go over look at some of the
0:30
70th anniversary merchandise, get myself
0:33
hyped, maybe buy a couple things, get a
0:36
coffee over at Starbucks on mobile order
0:38
here shortly, and then a little later,
0:40
walk by the convention center, maybe go
0:41
to Joe's Italian ice, and just see where
0:43
the day leads. Kind of a relaxing day
0:45
before the hoot nannies, the hullaloo,
0:48
and the insanity that will take place in
0:51
there
0:53
tomorrow for the 70th anniversary
0:55
kickoff. It's uh it's completely sold
0:57
out. So, it's going to be it's going to
0:59
be wild. There was no reservations left.
1:01
Luckily, I got one a month ago, couple
1:03
months ago, so I'm good to go. But
1:05
today, just a casual day. Back in
1:07
California, back in the States, back in
1:08
the good old US of A from my Mexico
1:11
trip. Still have my hat on though. Still
1:12
wearing it. Still sporting it today. I
1:14
might get something today to wear for
1:16
tomorrow. So, I might not be wearing
1:17
this tomorrow, but still got the the hat
1:19
from Mexico. I'm inviting you to join
1:21
me. It's a long intro. Shall you? There
1:24
it is. the Disneyland Resort
1:26
sign. Once I cross underneath this, I am
1:29
on
1:31
Disneyland
1:34
property
1:36
right now. Empty Monter. Current
1:40
temperature at 10:03. It's 68°. Going to
1:43
get to 75 by 3 p.m. And then probably a
1:46
little after that, it'll probably dip
1:47
down a little bit. Definitely not as
1:50
hot. doesn't feel same temperature but
1:52
does not have the feel of the heat of
1:54
Mexico City just because it's closer to
1:56
the equator at higher
1:59
elevation.
2:01
Again, just stating what I'm thinking. I
2:03
don't know if that's even true. Will not
2:04
be popping in the park today. In fact, I
2:06
don't even think there are
2:07
reservations. There's space fountain
2:10
over there. Tomorrow is going to be I
2:13
mean
2:15
absolute absolute insanity for the 70th
2:19
70 years since Walt opened this place
2:23
his original Magic Kingdom. It's been 10
2:27
years since 2015 which I consider to be
2:31
my favorite Disney year of all time.
2:32
2015. This is pretty much the consensus
2:35
of how the entire rest of this today and
2:38
the rest of the weekend will go. I get
2:39
some coffee. I'm going to head in World
2:41
of Disney over there. I don't think the
2:42
Flower Fountain is working at this
2:43
moment, but World of Disney is on my
2:45
radar. They are calling the 70th
2:48
anniversary celebrate happy as the
2:50
slogan. You can see Ariel over there and
2:52
Flounder saying just be happy and
2:54
celebrate it. Quick and easy mobile
2:56
order acquired sugar-free non-fat milk
2:59
vanilla latte. And now let's cruise
3:02
around world of Disney. See what kind of
3:06
see what kind of 70 stuff they have.
3:08
Here's some monster stuff. I know the
3:10
70th stuff's got to be in here
3:14
somewhere. Oh, nice. They have a whole
3:16
display here in the very very middle
3:18
with all the 70th merch. I'm sure
3:20
they're going to have this in the park
3:21
as well, but yeah. Check out here at
3:23
World of Disney. I also really like that
3:25
retro hat. A lot of the hats they have
3:27
here at the parks don't really fit me
3:29
though. Like I love that retro style,
3:31
but they just don't they don't come in
3:33
like big head sizes. Ooh, the vault
3:35
collection. Hello, vault collection.
3:38
Look at this 70th. Ooh, that uh I might
3:41
have to I think I might have to purchase
3:43
that right there. I might have to. I
3:45
also love these like brimmed hats right
3:46
there. It's kind of like early8s style.
3:48
And check out Mickey here with the
3:50
Creeper Peepers of Narnia. Mr. Toad's
3:53
Wild Ride style right there. I didn't
3:56
know if I would if I would like the 70th
3:58
stuff, but I got to say I'm kind of into
4:00
all the 70th merch now that I see it
4:03
with my own eyes. Look at this. the
4:05
castle here on the back of the spirit
4:07
jersey. Okay, look at that little retro
4:09
handbag. That's awesome. That's almost
4:11
like a little knickknack or an ashtray
4:13
right there. I might have to get that.
4:15
You got some postcards. Retro stickers
4:17
down here. And I'm going to get a pair
4:19
of these socks here with Mickey on it
4:21
for mñana for tomorrow. Yes, retro too.
4:24
Looks like a Look at that D right there.
4:26
It's like a pillow right there. It's
4:27
kind of like disguised out with the
4:29
color formation. All the stuff that se
4:31
it has seven even had the e ticket books
4:33
e mints down here again I showed the
4:37
hats not sure about that but even
4:38
Mickey's got the 70 on it this long
4:40
sleeve and even a Gilligan's island
4:43
style Gilligan hat right here retro and
4:47
tumblers. Yes, definitely take my money
4:51
on this. This is my This is going home
4:53
with me, too. Look at that, too. That's
4:55
awesome. But this one definitely. All
4:57
right, heading off property again. I
5:01
purchased quite a bit of
5:03
stuff. They're supposed to have
5:05
merchandise released tomorrow on the
5:07
official kickoff of the 70th. Again,
5:10
technically the official day is July
5:12
17th, but the the official kickoff is
5:15
tomorrow, but they have a lot of good
5:16
merchandise. Got a bunch. And see what
5:19
they have in the park when I go on into
5:21
the actual theme park tomorrow. Not
5:23
going in today. Pretty content with my
5:25
merchandise haul today. Okay. Got this
5:27
long sleeve, which I don't know if I'll
5:28
wear that while I'm here, but I love
5:29
this one. I love the purplish hue color,
5:32
purplish pink color they're using. Also
5:35
got the socks, which I'll probably wear
5:37
tomorrow. Also got the vault collection
5:40
shirt there with a collar. Really like
5:43
this. This is a postcard book that I
5:46
ended up getting with all these
5:48
different
5:48
postcards from old school Disneyland
5:52
down inside there. That is awesome. Also
5:55
like this. This reminds me of the 50th
5:56
anniversary of Walt Disney World. Gosh,
6:00
it's been four years ago now, which is
6:01
why it kind of looks like that. There's
6:03
Mickey's outfit right there. Also got
6:05
this, which surprisingly they had this
6:07
in a size that will fit me. So, went
6:10
ahead and got that. Also got these as
6:13
well, which I believe are just different
6:15
stickers with Disneyland all over it.
6:17
The retro retro vault collection
6:21
stickers there. Set of six. And then
6:24
this I had to get. How cute is this?
6:26
It's like a tote bag that zips up into
6:29
this. It's like a little cute blue
6:31
Mickey. Walking past Walt Star
6:34
here right on
6:36
Harbor. Amazing. Something that he
6:39
created has lived on all these years
6:41
later. An
6:43
empire. Walt Disney Corporation and
6:47
Company. Movies, theme parks, cruise
6:49
lines, hotels, everything.
6:59
I mean, I know he knew there was
6:59
potential and he had faith in that
7:01
potential, but don't know if he would
7:04
have expected to be what it is today. As
7:08
massive, massive as it is
7:12
today. Probably not. There's Goofy up
7:15
there.
7:20
Trying to communicate as eloquently I
7:20
can with the Jolly Rancher in my mouth.
7:23
Not this one. There's another one in my
7:24
mouth.
7:25
But I've been I've been on a Jolly
7:28
Rancher kick
7:35
today. I think I have an orange one. I
7:35
think I'm eating an orange one right
7:38
now.
7:49
banners. Stroll through the convention
7:49
center
7:50
property. Do a lot of events here. Hard
7:53
to believe that in August it'll have
7:55
been one year already. Well, since my
7:56
50th birthday, but also since D23 D23
8:01
Expo. Look at these flowers lurking over
8:04
here in the shadows.
8:11
Yeah, D23 Expo is something I look to
8:12
look forward to every couple
8:14
years. I would imagine here before the
8:17
end of this year, they'll announce next
8:19
year's
8:20
expo. So, there probably I would imagine
8:23
will be one in 26. There was in 24 every
8:25
usually every two
8:27
years and it might just be here in
8:30
Anaheim again. Who knows? But it's where
8:32
it usually
8:33
is. Big huge convention. Love it.
8:37
conglomeration of all the Disney nerds,
8:39
including myself. And the main building
8:41
I was just showing was the original
8:43
building, and they built all this this
8:46
extension since
8:48
then over this
8:50
direction. But fun fact, I've showed
8:52
this before, but always worth
8:53
reiterating. Here in the city of
8:55
Anaheim, the Anaheim Arena here at the
8:57
convention center opened the same day as
8:59
Disneyland, 12 years after Disneyland
9:01
opened. So July 1755, 12 years later on
9:04
67th, the Anaheim Marina opened. A
9:07
little bit of a walk from where I was
9:08
from the convention center a couple
9:09
blocks corner of Wilin and Harbor Joe's
9:13
Italian Ice. Very refreshing. I push the
9:17
walk
9:22
signal. It's pretty difficult to find
9:22
parking over here. So you can park over
9:25
near the convention center and then just
9:27
walk over. I used to live on Orangewood,
9:28
which is like a block back. So, I used
9:29
to visit here quite a bit and at night
9:31
it gets really, really busy here, but
9:33
during the day, it's not too bad. And
9:35
even when there is a long line, it moves
9:37
pretty quick. This is a sugar-free
9:46
banana. David's here. Liz is here. David
9:46
likes the sun. Liz and I like the shade,
9:49
so we're gonna sit over here. Cheers.
9:52
All right, that was delicious. Love some
9:54
Joe. Look, Joe's has his own truck
9:57
here. Love Joe. All roads lead to Joe's.
10:02
I've probably eaten a nice delicious
10:06
cold treat from
10:09
Joe's 50 times in my life just cuz I
10:11
used to live right down the road. It was
10:12
right right close to Disneyland. I have
10:15
now made it over to a huge hidden
10:17
Mickey. This is one of the ears of a
10:19
hidden Mickey and the other ear is right
10:22
over there. So, if you look at this from
10:23
like a satellite view, if you look at it
10:25
like on on a phone from a satellite
10:26
view, you can see that this is a Mickey.
10:28
This is one of Mickey's ears. There's
10:30
another Mickey ear over there. And I am
10:32
over by the Pixar Place Hotel, which is
10:36
recently rebranded in the Pixar Place
10:38
Hotel. And it's open for business again.
10:40
And I'm going to kind of walk past here
10:42
and go over to Disneyland Hotel. Yeah.
10:44
Going to take a stroll over to the
10:46
Disneyland Hotel. See what's going on.
10:48
All right. They even have the Celebrate
10:56
Happy icon, I guess you could call that.
10:56
Right here. You got Tinkerbell up top.
10:57
different characters are using for the
10:59
70th right there overlooking the pool
11:01
and the new DVC tower that I've stayed
11:03
at a few times as you're walking into
11:04
the Disneyland Hotel. So I came around
11:06
through the back entrance, but when you
11:07
go back towards the front when you get
11:08
kind of dropped off at like the valet
11:10
drop off, Uber taxi drop off, they have
11:12
this whole little like not a red carpet,
11:14
but a carpet, which is like the purple
11:16
and and bluish shoe carpet and all the
11:18
different colors for the 70th as you're
11:20
kind of walking through there, which I
11:21
think is like pretty pretty awesome when
11:23
you're kind of going through with all
11:24
the balloons. And they're really about
11:26
ready to kick off the pre-kickoff of the
11:28
70th anniversary celebration in full
11:30
effect. I don't think I'm going to walk
11:31
back through Downtown Disney once again
11:34
from this end, which I haven't gone from
11:35
this end in a while cuz usually I've
11:37
been staying over on Harbor, but I will
11:39
be staying before the end of the year.
11:40
We'll be staying back over here at the
11:41
at the Disneyland Hotel. But this this
11:43
time I'm not. I'm staying over on the
11:45
over on the harbor side, but I'm going
11:47
to walk from here over over through uh
11:49
Downtown Disney on the way back over to
11:51
Harbor. A long time ago, that used to be
11:52
House of Blues. Now it's Splitzville.
11:54
House of Blues has moved across the
11:56
street over to over to Garden Walk. But
11:58
over here, it's kind of interesting. I
12:00
don't know how many times, countless
12:01
times I ate over at this restaurant,
12:03
which was Tortilla Joe's. It had the
12:06
tableside guac. Love the tableside
12:07
guacamole from here. But right now, it
12:10
has been being torn down. It's going to
12:12
be a barbecue place, it looks like.
12:14
Yeah, they're not going to repurpose the
12:15
building. You can see a little bit of uh
12:18
some demolition going on over there. RIP
12:21
Tortilla Joe's had Joe's Italian Eyes,
12:24
but there's also a tortilla place here
12:25
at Downtown Downtown Disney that I used
12:27
to eat at a lot. I probably ate at this
12:29
spot for multiple dozens of times.
12:32
Goodbye. All right, a little time has
12:34
passed. Went back to my hotel and rested
12:36
for a little while. Now the sun will be
12:38
setting soon. Walking back across harbor
12:41
back over into downtown Disney. There
12:44
goes the
12:48
Montreal. Had laid down for a little
12:48
bit. Before I know it, two hours had
12:50
passed and I had taken a little a little
12:53
napage. Think I might need a second
12:55
coffee of the day. pick up on a mobile
12:58
order again and get a second coffee.
13:00
I've also decided to go ahead and
13:02
purchase a Magic Band for tomorrow. So,
13:03
the 70th Magic Band does not be released
13:05
until tomorrow. And there are some
13:08
special things you can do in Disneyland
13:09
with that 70 with the regular Magic Band
13:11
that you link up to your account. I did
13:13
not bring one with me from Florida. So,
13:15
I need one to to get those special kiosk
13:19
tomorrow in the
13:21
park. And I know the lines are going to
13:23
be crazy tomorrow for the 70th. So, I
13:25
think I'm just going to get a regular
13:26
Magic Band now. That way, I can do those
13:29
kiosks tomorrow and go ahead and just
13:31
get ahead of the curve. And I'm back
13:33
over in World of Disney looking at the
13:35
Magic Bands. This is the entire Magic
13:37
Band section at Disneyland. Disney
13:40
World. There's like walls and walls of
13:42
them. Well, they have it at the
13:44
Tomorrowland store. There's tons of them
13:46
there, too. Oh, they do? Yeah.
13:49
I don't even Who is talking over my
13:50
shoulder right now? I don't know. I
13:52
don't know. Which one should I get? Oh,
13:54
she gave it away. It's Chris. It's
13:56
Provos. Should I get this one? Which one
13:57
should I get, Chris? Or tomorrow? Oh, I
13:59
might get this one.
14:01
Oh, you're gonna get the Kirby one. I
14:03
love the Muppets. So, they have a 70th
14:06
on sale tomorrow. Tomorrow. I think the
14:08
lines are going to be too wild tomorrow,
14:10
right? It's going to be crazy. Yeah. So,
14:11
we'll just get this and that way we can
14:13
do the special. I mean, that the ones I
14:15
would pick for you, Adam. The cherry.
14:17
You like the cherry one? The honey pot.
14:21
Okay. So, I think that's the hack. Don't
14:23
try to get a Magic Band tomorrow cuz the
14:25
lines are going to be too wild. Try to
14:26
link it up to do the
14:34
kiosks. Well, that was cute. There you
14:34
go. That's a Disneyland one
14:39
there. See, with this one, I don't know
14:40
what ensemble I'm going to wear
14:41
tomorrow. So, that's the thing is
14:43
outfit. Yeah, you're wearing the green
14:44
backpack. Yours is This is kind of This
14:46
matches your backpack there. Right
14:48
there. So, you kind of got the
14:56
Star Wars. No, show me the Star Wars
14:56
one. Maybe I'm thinking this one or
14:58
maybe the the glittery one or maybe just
15:00
the straight white one
15:03
or the teal
15:06
or that's Grand Cal. That's the Okay,
15:10
that's the not the partner statue.
15:11
That's the dream what they call the
15:12
dreamer statue over at DCA. Oh, Adam
15:16
Cavalos for you. I do.
15:19
It's like an anniversary. Three cowboy
15:21
arrows. I decided a fireworky one. And
15:24
it's got Walt's quote on it right there.
15:26
Disney World. Of course, Walt said, of
15:29
course, Walt said that on July 17th, not
15:31
not 2 and 1/2 months early that we're
15:33
celebrating it here, which is just super
15:35
odd and weird and unusual, but I'm all
15:38
about celebrating. So, well, here's the
15:40
thing. I'm going be honest with you,
15:41
Adam. It's not weird because Disney
15:43
always seem to start their years in May.
15:46
Like in the 50th, they started in May.
15:48
That's true. They did. and the 60th. And
15:50
the 60th. I mean, the fact that you're
15:52
surprised, I'm surprised. I just wanted
15:55
to point it out cuz a lot of people
15:56
think tomorrow is the anniversary. Not
15:58
July 17th. You You know your history.
16:01
1955, baby. Uh Adam was just informing
16:04
me that he wants to get the Yeti sipper.
16:06
Tomorrow? Yes. The Yeti sipper. Did you
16:09
know that sometimes Bigfoot gets
16:11
confused for Sasquatch? Yeti never
16:13
complains. I like this Mickey. He's got
16:15
the 70th pennant there. You could
16:17
definitely pull that off. Could I? Yeah,
16:19
you're definitely more Gilligan than
16:21
Skipper. I could be I could be the
16:23
skipper. You're the skipper. I could be
16:25
the skipper. I felt like Maryanne had
16:27
more of a crush on Gilligan. Anyways,
16:30
all right. I did check to see on the app
16:32
if there were any reservations maybe
16:33
popped up last minute to go over into
16:36
DC. I don't want to go into Disneyland
16:37
till tomorrow.
16:42
There
16:42
goes the Monter.
16:45
I was a little more excitement now that
16:46
I'm caffeinated again. It's kind of
16:48
interesting, too, the difference between
16:50
WDW, Walt Disney World, and
16:52
Disneyland. Really, no days are ever,
16:55
even with the the top tier pass at
16:59
Disney World, you'll never see dates
17:00
that you can't go. Look at all the ones
17:02
the rest of the month, but today's the
17:04
15th Xed out. I do want to have I do
17:06
have one for tomorrow on Friday, so I'm
17:08
good with that one. But every other day,
17:11
well, the majority of all the other days
17:13
are booked
17:15
up. When the parks are busy during prime
17:17
times, it's really hard to get into the
17:19
parks, even with the pass, even with the
17:21
most expensive and pricey pass that
17:23
Disney offers at Disneyland. So, you got
17:25
to you got to plan
17:28
ahead. So, even if I wanted to go in the
17:31
park today, tonight, maybe to even pop
17:33
over to DCA or something beforehand, no
17:36
can do. But I got this for tomorrow. So,
17:39
I'm going to link that up to my uh my
17:43
Disneyland app and that way I can
17:45
utilize
17:46
the the experiences tomorrow. Tomorrow
17:49
is going to be hectic,
17:51
fun, and a wild one. At current time,
17:55
9:17 and 13
17:58
minutes, a new firework show that they
18:00
brought back. Well, it's an older
18:01
firework show, but they're bringing it
18:02
back for the 70th anniversary, which
18:05
kicks off tomorrow. that they're doing
18:07
it tonight as like a little teaser for
18:09
those who are in the park. Again, I
18:11
couldn't get in because the reservation
18:14
system. However, spot up here that I
18:16
could always like to come up here. Some
18:18
people watch it in the esplanade when
18:20
they're not in the park, but you can
18:21
also come up here and watch the
18:22
fireworks. So, just strolling down
18:24
Harbor right here over the
18:27
overpass, the freeway. Also got my magic
18:31
van all synced, linked,
18:33
paired for tomorrow.
18:39
It's kind of nice that they're finally
18:39
doing things in the park at Disneyland
18:42
that you need a magic band for because
18:43
of Walt Disney World. They're pretty
18:44
prevalent, but here really never had a
18:47
lot of options that you
18:49
needed. I got to cross the road.
18:52
Countdown for wondrous journeys. 1
18:55
minute. Should be able
18:57
to hook the camera through this little
18:59
grate here. Zoom in.
19:01
kind of had thought they would maybe
19:04
bring back the 60th anniversary
19:05
fireworks which were some of the
19:06
greatest ever. Wonders Journeys is good
19:08
too. Good. They're bringing that
19:11
back. I'll be seeing them with my own
19:13
eyes from in the park possibly on Main
19:15
Street
19:17
USA. Not sure where I'll be standing
19:19
tomorrow, but we'll be watching the
19:20
fireworks. Paint the Night comes back,
19:22
too. I am so excited about Paint the
19:24
Night. Great parade.
19:32
Dare I say one of the best parades ever
19:32
for
19:33
Disney. I mean, it's hard to pick a
19:35
favorite, but Paint the Night is is
19:36
pretty pretty
19:43
spectacular. There it
19:43
is. There is no inclement weather cuz
19:46
sometimes they'll say due to inclement
19:48
weather or strong winds. So, Walt Disney
19:51
World always has fireworks.
19:54
Very rarely, if ever, do they not run
19:56
the fireworks at WDW. But here, if there
20:00
is a stiff wind, they will not utilize
20:04
the fireworks. So, I figured I might as
20:05
well walk over here to the bridge here
20:08
to get this view
20:10
because, you know, what if by some
20:12
chance
20:13
tomorrow firework, you know, it's too
20:15
windy tomorrow night. So, you see they
20:18
kind of blast them off on the back side
20:20
of Mickey Minnie's Runaway Railway on
20:21
the back side of Toon Tan. You go see
20:23
the spires of Black Spire Outpost over
20:31
there. Oh
20:31
yeah. There we
20:41
go. Also a good spot if you're ever at
20:44
the Mickey and Friends parking structure
20:46
or Pixar parking structure. You see the
20:49
fireworks pretty good from there, too.
20:57
And a lot of people congregate in the
20:57
espionade. That's also a good one, too.
20:59
But this is kind of you get the little
21:01
behind the scenes, a sneak peek into
21:04
where they launched them from. You have
21:06
to do get a little to zoom in a little
21:08
bit and get it through the gate. I think
21:09
they just recently put this mesh up. I
21:12
don't recall that way being like that a
21:14
couple years ago.
21:16
Also, you could just walk over to the
21:19
the edge of the fence if you so choose
21:22
as a possibility also, or where this
21:24
person on the bicycle is. Yeah, pretty
21:27
much anywhere on Harbor is a pretty good
21:35
view. Standing on this
21:35
little concrete walkway
21:38
across of the on-ramp onto the freeway.
21:45
I mean, really, Small World is like
21:47
right over there. So, it's like I'm not
21:48
even pretty close to even being in the
21:50
park,
21:51
honestly. There it
21:53
goes. Soothing sounds of
22:15
I love Disneyland so
22:15
much. It holds a special place in my
22:18
heart for a lot of reasons. Obviously,
22:19
this is the first park that Walt
22:21
created. A lot of people were naysayers
22:24
and did not think it would be a
22:28
success. Kind of like Snow White and the
22:30
Seven Dwarfs, which predated
22:33
this. Also was kind of looked upon as
22:36
maybe it would be a failure, and it
22:38
wasn't.
22:40
people gave him a hard time about the
22:41
thoughts of building a a theme park in
22:49
Anaheim. So, there's that historical
22:49
aspect that, you know, Walt was in
22:50
there. Walt walked around. Walt was
22:52
here. But I also hold a special place in
22:55
my heart for this place because I lived
22:58
in SoCal for so long. In fact, I lived
23:00
in Orange, just a few miles down the
23:02
road, and I could hear these fireworks
23:04
every night. If I was not at the park, I
23:06
could hear them while I watched TV or
23:10
was doing things around my house. So,
23:12
there's that aspect
23:14
also. A little bit of personal
23:20
nostalgia. I've always said and I'll
23:20
always stick by the thoughts that 2015
23:22
for me was the greatest Disney year that
23:25
I ever had in my
23:27
life. Hard to believe that was 10 years
23:30
ago, the 60th anniversary, the diamond
23:32
celebration. And tomorrow I'm going to
23:34
kick off the 70th with a packed sold out
23:38
sold com, you know, every reservation
23:42
booked up. It's going to be a beehive of
23:44
activity in
23:46
there. It looking back to 10 years ago
23:49
when they kicked off the 60th, the last
23:51
24-hour day they ever did. And I was
23:54
there. I did three 24-hour
23:56
days. 2012, I think, was the first one.
23:59
The last one was in 2015. And they've
24:01
never done one since. So, I'm glad I did
24:03
three. I did two at Disney World and one
24:05
here at Disneyland. Very fond memories
24:07
and just amazing how quickly time
24:10
goes. Fast time goes
24:25
by, but I'm happy to be here and excited
24:25
about tomorrow.
24:27
Cannot wait to try to get that
24:30
Matterhorn Harold the Yeti popcorn
24:39
bucket and a pin to document the the day
24:39
for posterity. That's my main goals
24:43
tomorrow. See the cavalcade. See Duffy.
24:46
Duffy's going to be here tomorrow at a
24:49
cavalcade. Also watch these fireworks in
24:51
the park.
24:59
Maybe try a snack or two. Use my new
24:59
magic band for the
25:07
experience and just have a good
25:07
day. Happy one day before the kickoff of
25:12
the 70th anniversary
25:20
Disneyland. Even though it was not till
25:20
July 17th, but you get the idea.
25:44
And of course, paint the night. Forgot
25:44
about paint the night. Can't forget
26:16
go. Oh. Oh. Oh. Here we go. This could
26:16
be it. So July 17th, which is the actual
26:20
anniversary, is when the Walt Disney
26:22
animatronic is going to appear in Great
26:24
Moments with Mr. Lincoln is not opening
26:36
Oh, like such a tease with the grand
26:36
finale. It's amazing from this view.
26:49
Yeah, if you live anywhere within five 5
26:49
10 miles of here, you hear these every
26:51
night like I did when I was over in
26:53
Orange. Oh, here he goes.
27:18
That's what I'm talking about. And
27:18
that's going to do it for
27:20
today from Anaheim, California. Couldn't
27:24
get into the parks
27:30
today. Thankfully, I will be able to
27:30
tomorrow. The big
27:33
day. Weather feels great here in SoCal.
27:39
enjoyable
27:41
day on
27:43
harbor and at Downtown
27:53
Disney. I'm not here this I'm not here
27:53
this trip for a long time, but I'm here
27:54
for a good time. I'll see you in the
27:57
next video of the
