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
