Walt Disney Studios Park Is A Mess But I LOVE It (My First Time) - Disneyland Paris Other Theme Park
Walt Disney Studios Park Paris
Transcript
0:02
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:02
the recording of the Sunday, July 6th,
0:06
2025. I'm just walking from my hotel
0:09
which is located right over there and I
0:11
am on my way to the second theme park
0:14
here at the Disneyland Paris Resort.
0:18
Walt Disney Studios Park is the name of
0:21
it. I'm wearing an appropriate Universal
0:24
Well, maybe not appropriate. I'm wearing
0:26
another studio shirt. Universal Studios
0:28
Hollywood, which I love. I also enjoy
0:31
MGM Studios, now called Hollywood
0:34
Studios in Florida. I'm a long way from
0:37
both those places. Let's see what Paris
0:41
has to offer in the form of Walt Disney
0:44
Studios. Join me,
0:48
shall you? A little blustery day, a
0:50
cooler day than it was yesterday.
0:53
Weather conditions rainy. It's been
0:55
drizzling andor downpouring all morning.
0:59
It has subsided a little bit at 12:30.
1:01
So, I'm heading out of my hotel and
1:03
going to make my way over to Starbucks.
1:05
Evidently, there's only one Starbucks.
1:07
There aren't any in the parks.
1:09
Yesterday, when I was in the Disneyland
1:11
Paris proper on Main Street, there is no
1:13
Starbucks on Main Street. The only one
1:15
is located at Disney Village on the way
1:18
into the parks. So, going to grab a
1:19
piping hot caffeinated beverage. Now, if
1:21
it ends up raining, I might have to buy
1:23
an umbrella or a poncho, the clear
1:26
ponchos that have the Disneyland Paris
1:28
on the back of them. And if it cools
1:30
down even more, if they have a nice
1:32
hoodie for Walt Disney Studios Park, oh
1:35
yes, I will buy that. I want to buy some
1:37
merchandise. Now, I've heard mixed
1:39
reviews on how this park is, and I'm
1:42
kind of going into it without any
1:45
spoilers. Spoiler-free. I haven't
1:46
watched anything. I really haven't seen
1:48
anything.
1:50
No grand walkthroughs or ride throughs
1:53
of different things here at the park,
1:56
but I am happy looking at it from the
1:58
outside of it because they have their
2:00
own earful tower, which reminds me of
2:02
the 1989 MGM Studios, early9s MGM
2:07
Studios in Florida. My favorite theme
2:09
park of all time. I know this is going
2:11
to pale in comparison to be nothing like
2:12
that, but there are some nuances here
2:14
from that Eisner era that I am going to
2:17
enjoy. So, if they have merchandise, oh
2:19
yes, I will be purchasing it. Get
2:22
caffeinated and head in Walt Disney
2:25
Studios. All right, I am now stepping
2:27
inside the world premiere building. Look
2:30
at this. This is really freaking cool. I
2:33
did not know this was even like this
2:34
inside here. Oh, I am liking this. This
2:37
looks just like the kind of like the
2:38
Burbank Studios over here. They even
2:40
have those same kind of like windows
2:42
that roll down that the animators would
2:45
be able to adjust. When I did the tour,
2:46
the Disney Studios in Verbank, they
2:48
explained how those windows, you can
2:50
kind of adjust them down to go with the
2:52
lighting that was outside. They've
2:53
recreated that in here. So, I am loving
2:56
this Hollywood theming through here.
2:59
This the Hollywood jewel box right here.
3:01
I think that's a gift shop right there.
3:03
But the facades look like real buildings
3:05
from Hollywood. This giving serious
3:07
great movie ride vibes. RIP Disney MGM/
3:11
Now Hollywood Studios. Great movie ride
3:14
vibes in here. This is the Mickey's of
3:15
Hollywood store inside this building.
3:18
Look, they have a little hooded hoodie
3:19
right there. They got a few other ones.
3:21
They had this in the first building when
3:22
you're walking over there. If they had
3:24
this in a t-shirt, I would probably buy
3:25
it. Or if they had it in a zip-up style
3:28
hoodie, but I don't really like the
3:29
non-zip hoodie. And this whole place
3:31
just screams Eisner, and I love it. Like
3:33
this behind the counter world premiere.
3:35
You got Daisy and Donald walking right
3:38
there. Pretty nice store. Definitely
3:39
has, you know, Hollywood Studios has a
3:41
lot of stores like this as well, so
3:43
nothing different. But I definitely like
3:44
it. It's called the Mickey's of
3:46
Hollywood Boutique. Do love that they
3:48
have the Earful Tower represented here.
3:50
They got rid of it in Florida. And they
3:52
have the Walk of Fame here. You got
3:55
Mickey, the first one, then Minnie,
3:57
Mufasa, Woody, all Disney characters. A
3:59
very nice touch. Is the Hollywood and
4:01
Vine Five and Dime in front of me right
4:03
there. And it says Hollywood Pictures
4:05
Museum, but there's no museum in here.
4:06
And if again, that is serious
4:10
GMR vibes. Great movie ride vibes to the
4:12
fullest extent. And you're just walking
4:14
right down the road here. You're walking
4:15
right down the middle of the road
4:17
heading towards the Disney Theater world
4:19
premiere which I think takes me back
4:21
outside of Vista Gifts right there.
4:23
Piano lesson sign up in the very very
4:25
top. I really love this building. We'll
4:29
come back in here a little bit later,
4:31
but I'm going to head into the park now.
4:32
To be completely honest, just giving my
4:34
first impression as I walk in here. I
4:36
really like this park so far. I know
4:39
it's going to be a mishmash and kind of
4:40
a mess kind of how Hollywood Studios is
4:43
modernday, but I'm going to be kind of
4:45
feeding off of the energy of the
4:47
original studios in Burbank and then
4:49
also MGM Studios and Eizer Created in
4:51
'89, early '90s. That was my all-time
4:53
favorite theme park. So, I'm going to be
4:55
kind of basing a lot of that on how my
4:57
enjoyment of the parks was back in those
4:59
days. Not really the modern-day park of
5:02
the studios. Look like they're doing a
5:03
lot of construction as well. But I like
5:05
that the partner statue is over here cuz
5:07
you got Walt and Mickey how they kind of
5:09
teamed up to create the Walt Disney
5:10
Productions and the studios in Burbank
5:12
and he's like overlooking the animation
5:14
building with the Sorcerers Cap. I like
5:16
that a lot. First vibes. Again, my my
5:20
thought process could change
5:21
dramatically throughout the course of
5:22
the day, but as I'm walking in, I really
5:25
do love I really do like how this this
5:27
place is set up. And the main thing I
5:29
want to go to first is going to be back
5:31
here past Ratatouille. We passed over in
5:33
this area. Tucked away in the back of
5:35
the park is one of the original original
5:38
attractions that has been rethemed, but
5:41
it still exists back there. It used to
5:42
be the old Catastrophe Canyon, which
5:44
they used to have at MGM Studios. I've
5:46
got to ride that first. That's got to be
5:47
my first one. That's my number one
5:49
priority here. As you can tell, I love
5:52
my memories of MGM Studios. And I love
5:55
Hollywood. I love LA. I love Hollywood.
5:58
I love old movies. I love the vibe of
6:00
Hollywood Boulevard and Hollywood and
6:02
all the studios. So, yeah, I love all
6:04
that stuff. Pretty wild to have
6:06
Ratatouille in Paris. In Paris.
6:10
I'm so used to it on the east coast. I'm
6:14
going go through this tunnel. Not doing
6:15
any fast passes or anything today. I'm
6:17
just doing the standard walk-on. It
6:19
shouldn't be too busy, but we'll see.
6:21
Right. There's like a almost like a
6:22
carnival style fair ride right here.
6:24
That's a That's a little weird for like
6:26
a Disney ride. I'm not too keen on that.
6:28
But yeah, it looks that that looks
6:30
interesting. That's really not like a
6:31
Hollywood vibe. So, this what I'm
6:32
saying. It's like a weird mishmash of of
6:34
attractions. Oh, is this really
6:36
happening? Am I getting on the back tram
6:39
tour? Well, it's not a backlot tram
6:41
tour, but it used to be out in Florida.
6:43
May have had a backlot tram here as
6:45
well, of sorts, but it's been revamped.
6:47
It's now cars themed, but it is the the
6:50
old school type of trams that take you
6:53
back to the former Catastrophe Canyon.
6:55
Just it's going to be the same. It's
6:57
just going to have a cars overlay on it.
6:59
And I can handle that. I can handle
7:00
that. Just put me on Catastrophe Canyon.
7:03
I have waited years to do this again.
7:07
I'm so excited. Oh, give me I'll take
7:10
this one right here. And look how tucked
7:12
away back in the corner up here. It's
7:13
like way almost like a Mickey ear. I
7:15
know how much I love this. Seeing these
7:17
Gold Wing style doors where they're
7:18
going to pull this down for the tram
7:21
right here. This is not ex I have not
7:23
seen this in a Disney park in so long
7:25
since they've completely got rid of, you
7:28
know, the old MGM Hollywood Studios
7:31
area. Look, you can tell this is the
7:32
point I'm going to be getting wet right
7:33
here. Look at that. That is water. The
7:35
water's going to pour in from right over
7:37
there. Oh, why do I love that so much?
7:39
Why do I love the closing of that so
7:41
much? Something you never see at Disney
7:42
anymore. This is called Cars Road Trip
7:45
is what it's called.
7:46
Please remain sitting on the door. Thank
7:48
you.
7:48
Remain seated.
7:50
Oh my gosh, it's happening. It's going
7:53
to Catastrophe Canyon. Well, a version
7:55
of it.
7:56
I do love cars. I love the movie Cars,
7:57
too. So, this is kind of a nice little
7:59
add-on, too. It's going to have an
8:00
overlay. I can handle cars. I can for
8:02
sure handle cars. There is a driver on
8:04
this. This is not like an automatic
8:06
vehicle that's like on a a railing.
8:08
There is a tram driver going into the
8:11
ghost garage up here. You can spend the
8:14
night in the ghost garage
8:16
right there. Copper Canyon traffic.
8:19
Okay. Cars catastrophe canyon they call
8:22
it now. Oh, I can handle that. I can
8:24
handle that. I can handle that as again
8:26
as long as it exists in some fashion. I
8:29
can handle it. Catastrophe canyon. Not
8:32
catastrophe.
8:34
We're going in.
8:36
Oh, what is happening? What year is
8:38
this? What freaking year is this?
8:41
It's catastrophic freaking Canyon. It's
8:44
freaking catastrophe. Why am I I am a
8:46
nerd. Oh my gosh. It's the same. They
8:50
just got the Dinoco over the top of it.
8:52
It's the same. It's exactly the freaking
8:55
same. Oh, I have to go. Oh, this is so
8:57
good.
9:00
Cannot believe it.
9:04
Yes. Yes. Yes. Give it to me. Give it to
9:07
me. Make my early 90s heart happy.
9:10
Make it happy.
9:13
This is the same exact feeling. I'm
9:16
going to shed a tear.
9:22
Yes.
9:22
Come on.
9:26
Oh, that feels good on this cool day.
9:30
Oh, yes.
9:32
There it is. It's tie. Let's go.
9:44
Yes. Just like the old days. Bring it
9:44
on. Come on. Give me that water. Bring
9:46
it to me. Give it to me.
9:53
Out of everyone on this, I can guarantee
9:53
I'm enjoying this more than anybody else
9:56
on this thing.
9:58
Dang. I feel like I'm going to leave out
10:00
of here and go see the Empty Nest Golden
10:02
Girls and Earnest Sage Christmas House.
10:05
But I'm not. I'm not. But at least this
10:08
is something.
10:16
Oh, thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
10:20
That
10:22
was awesome.
10:31
Yes. It's the little things, folks. It's
10:31
the little thing. Oh, am I going to see
10:33
the back facade? Yes. Yes. Show me the
10:36
back. Show me the back. This is so You
10:38
used to do it at studios. They show you
10:39
the back facade as well.
10:41
They've draped it over with some kind of
10:43
netting. Green netting.
10:45
Okay, I'm Okay, I got to calm down. I
10:47
got to calm down now because I'm I'm
10:49
making I'm making a fool of myself.
10:51
That made my
10:59
Thank you for joining us for your My
10:59
heart is happy right now.
11:02
Oh,
11:02
I love these doors.
11:04
I love it. Had a cast member sitting
11:06
here as if she was giving the tour. She
11:08
only gave a couple lines, but she was
11:10
sitting in that same kind of a seat.
11:12
Yes. And they just rethemed it. And
11:15
really, there was no point in having it
11:17
really makes no sense to have the canyon
11:20
during all that. The tram driver right
11:22
there. They had someone sitting in the
11:25
same seat as if they were giving a
11:26
backlot tram tour talking about
11:28
Catastrophe Can. They never had a back
11:29
lot here like they did at MGM Studios,
11:32
but the same type of attraction,
11:35
Catastrophe Canyon.
11:37
Cut and paste. Same same one from MGM
11:40
Studios in Florida. Thank you for
11:42
indulging my nerdery. I was that that
11:46
was that was something. That was
11:47
something,
11:49
man. Okay,
11:52
can bring myself back to back to earth.
11:54
Back to earth now. It's not the '9s
11:56
anymore. All right, I got to check the
11:58
wait times. I don't know if it's worth
11:59
waiting an hour or so for Ratatouille.
12:02
I'm pretty sure it's an exact copy and
12:04
paste as the one in Florida.
12:07
We'll see. Well, we see what the weight
12:08
times are. If it's a short wait time,
12:10
I'll do it. But again, I don't have the
12:11
fast pass today. I'm just trying to
12:13
relive some nostalgic moments, but on a
12:16
completely different country and
12:18
experience the Hollywoodish stuff here.
12:20
Here's a game changer. They have a
12:21
single rider here. We don't have this in
12:23
Florida. They have a single rider for
12:24
Ratatouille. And I'm here by myself. So,
12:26
I'm doing it. If they had single rider
12:28
in Orlando, I would be riding this thing
12:30
till the cows came home or till the rat
12:32
came home or until Remy came home.
12:35
That's nice. Single rider. If there is
12:39
single rider in Florida, I sure don't
12:41
remember that being a thing, but that's
12:42
that's nice. That's interesting. There's
12:44
no 3D glasses on this one. It's been a
12:46
while I've been on the one in Orlando,
12:47
but I think that one's still 3D. There's
12:49
no 3D glasses on this one. I couldn't
12:50
really tell a massive major difference
12:52
between the one here versus the one in
12:54
Orlando. I think it's pretty much a
12:56
carbon copy with the exception of the
12:58
3D. And I think maybe the screens look a
13:00
little bit better with the 3D. Again,
13:02
it's been a while since I've been on the
13:03
one. I'm not an expert on the
13:04
Ratatouille ride in at Epcot just simply
13:07
because the line is always so incredibly
13:09
lengthy that I don't really I think I've
13:10
only been on it maybe four four times in
13:13
my entire life just because the the wait
13:15
time for standby is usually like an
13:17
hour, hour and a half, sometimes even
13:18
more than that. But I really enjoyed
13:20
this one. It's kind of the same. He's
13:22
got the practical effects, got the
13:23
practical sets, I should say, as well
13:25
well as the digital and all that digital
13:27
screens and everything. And I really do
13:29
like the trackless rides. The trackless
13:31
ride system is really a kind of a cool
13:33
thing. And the whole the whole area,
13:35
even, you know, the whole Paris area is
13:37
uh pretty accurate to how the streets of
13:40
Paris are with the cobblestone, the
13:41
brick streets, and all that. So, I'm
13:43
going to head off now and go into some
13:44
other areas, other areas of the park and
13:47
uh see what else I can find here at the
13:49
the studios at the Walt Disney Walt
13:51
Disney Studios. Oh, they evidently have
13:53
their own little version of Radiator
13:56
Springs through here as well. I don't
13:58
think they have Radiator Springs Racers,
14:00
but they have the old Route 66 Radiator
14:02
Springs area. You got Luigi's Tires
14:04
here. You got Tow Mater towing and
14:07
salvage. This is nice. Got the little
14:09
phone booth over here. You got the
14:11
welcome travelers radiator springs
14:13
chamber of commerce. This says eat and
14:16
there's just a a brick wall there that
14:18
you can't go through. That's kind of
14:20
kind of cool. Oh, there's even a VA
14:21
there's even a Flo's VA cafe over there.
14:24
That's nice. Oh, and this must be this
14:27
must be the Crush's coaster that
14:29
everyone
14:30
everyone recommends to go on the Crushes
14:32
coaster. So, check that out. See how the
14:35
wait time is for that. Maybe they have a
14:36
single rider for that. That'd be
14:38
amazing. But they don't have a Floss
14:40
Cafe. Hey, there's just a sign that says
14:42
Flo's Cafe and then you got, you know, a
14:44
little miniature version of Maiders to
14:46
spin around over here. This is a lot
14:48
different than the one that's a DCA and
14:50
it goes a lot faster. Look at that thing
14:52
right there. It's like teacups. It's
14:54
like the teacups version. That's a lot
14:55
different than the one at DCA. That's uh
14:58
that's that'll make you a little more
15:00
nauseous. Doesn't whip you around as
15:01
fast, but it whips you around more uh
15:04
more often.
15:06
This is where the theming kind of really
15:07
kind of really uh the sight lines and
15:09
everything don't really aren't the best
15:10
here. You got Route 66, you got the
15:13
Mater attraction and all that and you
15:14
got Radiator Springs and then
15:16
immediately over here you have Crush's
15:18
Coaster. You go into the sea. Oh wow.
15:20
You can actually see the ride track as
15:22
it goes through there. Crushes Coaster
15:31
is a single rider, but it says 45
15:31
minutes for a single rider. That's not
15:32
good. 65 minutes for the regular
15:34
standby. And this is evidently the way
15:37
the ride vehicle operates.
15:40
I'll check back a little bit later. Now,
15:43
when Guardians of the Galaxy opened at
15:45
Epcot, there were quite a few people
15:47
that said, "Oh, that's just basically
15:48
the same ride system as Crush's
15:51
coaster." And after seeing it going by
15:54
over here, I don't know if they're
15:56
comparable. maybe comparable how they
15:59
spin, but I don't know if this is as
16:02
fluid. I can't speak till I go on it,
16:06
but we'll see how see how the lines go a
16:09
little bit later. Maybe a little bit
16:10
later. Ah, yes. The flying carpet
16:12
carpets of Agriba, which is like a copy
16:16
and paste pretty much the same thing we
16:17
have at Magic Kingdom in Florida. But we
16:20
don't have this, which is like a little
16:21
overlook. You can walk up these stairs
16:23
and go get a bird's eyee perspective or
16:25
a on the same level perspective of the
16:28
flying carpets of Agra. It's kind of
16:29
neat. It's almost like the Aladdin
16:31
version of Dumbo, if you will, as they
16:33
kind of spin around, but you can stand
16:34
up here on this little railing, which is
16:36
kind of neat. So, this this isn't M.
16:38
This is at MK in Florida. Same exact
16:40
same exact kind of thing. Now, there's
16:42
the standby down there for Crush's
16:44
Coaster.
16:46
Little viewing area over there. Starting
16:48
the wind starting to pick up. There may
16:50
be a rainstorm coming in. Woo! It's a
16:53
little windy. Little windy up here on
16:56
this little railing. Maybe because I'm
16:58
elevating because I'm really hot. Oh,
16:59
look over there is Buzz Lightyear.
17:01
Passed by him and I was So, you go right
17:03
out of the toy Toy Story Buzz Lightyear
17:06
area and then you walk right into
17:07
Radiator Springs and then you got
17:08
Crush's Coaster right here. All visible
17:10
from each other. And I'm not saying this
17:11
place doesn't have its problems, but
17:12
it's got some good points. And over to
17:14
the Hollywood Tower. It looks like it's
17:16
still themed around Twilight Zone. I'm
17:18
here for it. I'm here for it. And they
17:19
still have smoking areas here. Smoking
17:21
you kind of have to get used to when
17:23
coming here is there's going to be
17:24
people smoking everywhere. Not just in
17:26
the smoking areas, but there are people
17:27
smoking all over the place. Un themed
17:29
external queue I've ever seen. Just have
17:31
these little little partitions up
17:34
right over there. Oh, what's this guy
17:35
doing? 25.
17:38
Of course.
17:39
Okay. 25 minutes. Thank you.
17:43
You're welcome.
17:44
Thank you so much.
17:46
You're welcome so much.
17:47
Okay. Thank you.
17:49
25minute wait time for the Hollywood
17:51
Tower standby. Not front of the line, no
17:54
single rider. Just 25 minutes. Yes, I'm
17:56
here for it. Even though it's kind of
17:57
obscured from here, 25 minutes is
17:59
amazing. That's an amazing wait time.
18:01
That's so short. That's such a short
18:03
That's an insanely short wait time. You
18:05
would never see it this short of a wait
18:08
time at Hollywood Studios in Florida,
18:10
ever. Yes. Into the Hollywood Tower
18:12
lobby. Check-in desk over there. This
18:14
owl full of cobwebs up here. Here you
18:17
got the HTH Hollywood Tower banner right
18:20
up there dangling from the from the
18:22
area. The queue kind of zigzags a little
18:25
differently here than it does at the
18:26
other parks where you kind of come in
18:28
this way, then you zigzag and you go in
18:30
this way. A little bit little bit
18:32
different, but you know, eerily and
18:35
creepily the same here at the Hollywood
18:38
Power Hotel.
18:49
Thank you.
18:49
I love this attraction so much. Love it.
18:54
Probably this this is probably exactly
18:55
the same. Fill in all the available
18:58
space. You see there's cobwebs
19:00
everywhere. Not just cobwebs inside, but
19:02
they're also outside. France, for some
19:04
reason, has a big cobweb problem. I
19:07
haven't really seen any spiders, but you
19:08
see a lot of cobwebs. I was noticing
19:10
those in Paris. I'm noticing them all
19:12
around here as well. So, this thising is
19:15
pretty normal for even like outside.
19:16
You'll see cobwebs everywhere for
19:18
whatever reason.
19:21
Ooh, look at the number 22 door right
19:23
there.
19:25
I don't know what that's what that's
19:26
represents.
19:32
Going in the library. Making my way into
19:35
the library
19:38
here.
19:46
very thundery in here.
19:46
Oh yeah, that's pretty pretty similar.
20:13
Please stay on the carpet and only on
20:13
the carpet. Thank you.
20:21
Weird English.
20:21
We have subtitles in French, but it was
20:25
the same same pre-show.
20:50
this is a little different. This is a
20:52
little bit different. When you come into
20:54
here, got the old time cards, service
20:56
elevator, arrow for the workers here at
21:00
the Hollywood Tower. Got the phone
21:02
there, time cards, time clock, not the
21:05
correct time. You got like a boiler
21:07
thing here or air conditioner boiler
21:09
unit. Not air conditioner, but a boiler
21:11
unit. Oh, this looks way smaller, too.
21:15
No, you go I'm going up the second
21:17
level. Never mind. I stand corrected.
21:27
Yeah, eerily the same, but also slightly
21:27
different.
21:30
Oh, wow.
21:32
Yeah, I'm going up. It's hot here.
22:03
Oh, look at the bird cage here.
22:03
There seems to be a lot more theming in
22:05
the queue here.
22:07
I like it. Lots of cobwebs.
22:16
Look at all this.
22:16
It's like Kingdom of the Spiders in
22:17
here. the old Shatner film
22:21
deep cut.
22:23
Look at these railings up here. Look at
22:24
the uh the cross crosswalks, I should
22:28
say, all across here.
22:32
Wonder No, I don't think that's for
22:33
guests. I guess it's part of the
22:34
theming.
22:37
This crazy boiler right here.
22:41
Massive boiler.
22:44
That's why they call it a boiler room.
22:45
You can see like a face. There's the two
22:47
eyes. There's the mouth. There's the
22:49
nose.
23:05
That was so good.
23:05
So good.
23:10
They were very very strict on filming.
23:10
They just kept reiterating it in a
23:12
couple different languages. No filming
23:14
was allowed. They said is restricted. It
23:16
is forbidden is the word that they used.
23:20
See if I get a photo over here. And also
23:22
this is something different than the
23:23
other parks. They put the lock screen on
23:25
it. See where you can't get a you can't
23:27
get a photo. Oh, that's me right there.
23:30
There's a
23:42
That was really good. That was so good.
23:42
Different than the Disney World one.
23:44
Different. They had like It was like a
23:46
different theming. They had like the a
23:47
little girl running around. It was like
23:48
a whole whole different theming. I kind
23:50
of wish I could have filmed it. I'm sure
23:51
you could probably find a a ride through
23:53
online. But yeah, I highly recommend
23:55
this version of the Hollywood Tower. It
23:57
was almost a little more intense than
23:59
the regular Twilight Zone Tower of
24:01
Terror. You know how Guardians over at
24:03
DCA has a lot more drops than like the
24:05
regular old school Twilight Zone
24:08
version? This one kind of was on par
24:09
with Guardians with the amount of times
24:12
you drop. I I didn't think it was ever
24:14
going to end. It just kept dropping over
24:15
and over and over and over. Yeah, I
24:17
loved it. I loved it. Photos up here
24:19
from the Tiptop Club. Man, my buddy
24:21
Justin has been on this a bunch of times
24:22
said, "They're not going to let you film
24:23
on it. Mark my words." And he was right.
24:25
They are very strict. Again, I'm sure
24:27
I'm sure you could probably get away
24:29
with it, but they just make it very very
24:30
well known that that uh they also told
24:32
me to remove my hats and glasses. So,
24:34
best remove them. They don't tell you
24:36
that at the other parks. Usually, they
24:37
just let you keep your hats on, but just
24:39
broke. I just heard something break.
24:41
Hollywood Tower lanyard. It has like a
24:43
room key right there. That's kind of
24:44
neat. Like a new school room key. This
24:47
is the only merchite I found that
24:48
actually has the the logo Disneyland
24:51
Paris on it. Can't really say I love
24:53
that shirt, but if the ears had it or
24:56
maybe even like a spirit jersey or
24:58
something had it, that'd be kind of
24:58
neat. But that's just a basic Hollywood
25:00
tower when it doesn't say Disneyland
25:02
Paris on it. This is pretty good though.
25:03
This art print here, which is
25:05
specifically for the Walt Disney park,
25:09
Walt Disney Studio Park right there.
25:13
Yeah, I like that they still have the uh
25:15
the movie or the TV version. It's also
25:18
interesting that they didn't they didn't
25:20
have it in French. They have the Oh,
25:22
look at this hidden Mickey
25:25
right there.
25:29
All right. They don't have They don't
25:29
have any merchandise that actually
25:32
Nothing Nothing's jumping out at me. But
25:33
yeah, however, have this clock right
25:36
here, which is specifically for Paris.
25:39
That's kind of neat. A Hollywood Hotel
25:41
Tower clock show starting for Mickey the
25:45
Magician here at the Anna Magic Theater.
25:48
It's about to start running up. I think
25:50
it's starting in just a couple minutes
25:51
now. Actually,
25:53
take a look at this retro looking carpet
25:55
right here. Look at this retro carpet.
25:57
That was a solid halfhour show. It
26:00
really was a lot better than I expected.
26:01
I didn't really know what to expect, but
26:02
I'll say that was actually really really
26:04
good. Had quite a few different
26:06
intervals. It was like kind of a I don't
26:08
I don't know how to really describe it
26:10
though, but there was a lot of actors, a
26:11
lot of songs, a lot of music, a lot of
26:13
dancing, a lot of things like that. I uh
26:15
I was not expecting it to be as good as
26:17
it was, but honestly, I really really
26:19
enjoyed it and the entire crowd was
26:21
really into it. I mean, everyone was
26:23
just like clapping along, singing along.
26:26
No one was really dancing, but everyone
26:27
was definitely definitely into the vibe.
26:29
And then when it ended, everyone just
26:30
kind of was like giving a roaring cheer
26:33
when it when it ended. I would uh I
26:35
would definitely see that one again. And
26:37
I put that in the I was pleasantly
26:39
surprised category to see that show.
26:41
I've now got in the line to head over to
26:44
Crush's Coaster. 35minute wait for
26:47
Crush's Coaster. And I'm in the line now
26:49
for Crush's Coaster. 35 minute for
26:51
Single Rider, I should say. 75 minutes
26:54
for the regular regular standby, but 35
26:56
for Single Rider. I don't think it's
26:57
probably going to get any better than
26:58
this. So, jumped in the Single Rider
27:00
line and now I'm inside. It's been
27:02
raining outside as well. So, it's
27:04
probably good to be get out of the rank
27:06
cuz once I walked out of the theater
27:07
after seeing Mickey the Magician, it was
27:09
started pouring. So, I feel more
27:11
comfortable and and uh warm and dry
27:14
inside here. So, inside here, inside the
27:16
Crush's coaster uh room and the theming
27:19
here, this is the I think this may be
27:22
the This is a single rider here. And
27:24
then the regular stand is out there.
27:32
The single rider line is going by pretty
27:32
quick to be honest. There's only like
27:33
maybe eight people in front of me. I've
27:35
only been in line for 10 minutes.
27:39
All right, I did it. I mean, I guess
27:42
there's kind of similarities to
27:44
Guardians of the Galaxy at Epcot, but
27:46
Guardians makes this thing look like
27:47
amateur hour. And it's it Guardians is
27:50
100 times better. 100 100 times better.
27:53
This is still a lot of fun, but there's
27:54
no competing with Guardians. It's been
27:56
raining. This is this is closed. I was
27:58
going to go on this. It was like a five
27:59
or 10 minute wait, but this is down at
28:00
the moment. This is kind of like the
28:01
teacup one over there. I can definitely
28:03
see the similarities, but I don't know.
28:05
This is it's almost like an archaic
28:07
version of what Guardians was perfected
28:10
to be, if that makes sense. Also, if you
28:12
get motion sickness on Guardians of the
28:14
Galaxy at Epcot, you will get it 10
28:17
times worse on this thing. That thing
28:19
nonstop spins. Guardians kind of
28:20
slightly spins. That thing is next
28:23
level. It's like it's like the teacups
28:24
on a coaster. Right inside the sorcerers
28:27
hat is the animation academy in here,
28:30
which is kind of neat. And they have a
28:32
preview of some things that's going to
28:33
be arriving to this area in the future
28:36
called Adventure World. Wait, is this
28:38
coming here? Yeah, it is coming here
28:40
because there's a sorcerer hat that I'm
28:41
inside right now. There's the earful.
28:43
Well, I don't know if they call it the
28:44
earful tower, but there's the water
28:45
tower, which looks like the earful
28:47
tower. And this is the whole area that's
28:49
going to be back in the back. That means
28:50
I might have to come back one day.
28:52
That's pretty exciting. This is my first
28:54
visit, but I enjoyed so far what I've
28:56
done here. So maybe at some point I can
28:58
come back to Disneyland Paris and also
29:00
to Walt Disney Studio Park. It's an
29:04
interesting name, Walt Disney Studio
29:06
Park.
29:07
I mean, very similar to Hollywood
29:09
Studios, but also completely different
29:11
in a lot of ways. Definitely has a
29:12
different vibe than Hollywood Studios,
29:14
but they're little little similar little
29:16
little similarities. And I got a lot
29:18
accomplished with not even doing the
29:20
Fastpass front of the line premiere. I
29:23
pretty much did everything I wanted to
29:24
do. I don't really care much about
29:25
Avengers Campus. I mean, I don't know.
29:28
It's okay. I'm more of a DC kind of. I'm
29:29
more of a DC guy, superhero guy. And I
29:32
love they still have the elephants in
29:33
here. They got rid of them at DCA. They
29:35
also got rid of them on the corner of
29:36
Hollywood and Highland at that mall
29:37
there. This is the overlook here at the
29:39
Hollywood Gardens restaurant. Little
29:42
quick service place. But take a look at
29:44
this. You got the ABC out there, which
29:46
is in at the studios right next to
29:49
Burbank Studios. That's kind of neat.
29:51
Little homage to the Burbank Studios
29:53
there as well. They're making some sort
29:55
of an announcement. I'm kind of getting
29:56
a
30:02
Oh, there's a show that's happening.
30:03
They're cancelling because of the
30:05
weather. Pretty nasty out right now.
30:11
Love this building. Loving this
30:14
building. Love this. Love this. Look at
30:17
this. Right next to the studio building,
30:20
you got the tower right there, the water
30:22
tower at the studios. My gosh, that
30:23
really makes me miss Great Movie Ride
30:25
and incredibly amount of miss love and
30:29
missing the Great Movie Ride. Missed
30:30
that thing. Missed that ride at MGM. And
30:33
over here's the Hollywood sign. Look,
30:36
there's the Hollywood sign. Hollywood
30:37
Boulevard. Griffith Observatory right
30:40
over here. Oh, very nicely done. Nicely
30:43
done. spend an incredible amount of time
30:46
in here just re just relaxing inside
30:48
this building. Feels like it's outside.
30:50
Feels like it's night time for daytime.
30:52
It's indoor for it's indoors, but it
30:54
feels like outdoors. I just love the
30:57
experience and the vibe and the feels in
30:59
here. So, I can assure you if I lived
31:01
here and I was a passholder, this would
31:03
be a room and a building that I would be
31:06
in all the time. I'd probably come in
31:08
here to get coffee, come in here to get
31:09
snacks, come in here to get food. I
31:12
would be a resident, an annual
31:14
passholder resident of the Hollywood
31:16
Gardens restaurant and atrium. Just just
31:20
restaurant. And they even have some
31:22
trees in here. That's why they call it
31:23
the Hollywood Gardens. They have some
31:25
trees lining the whole area here. The
31:28
Hollywood architecture. This is just too
31:30
This is just right up my alley. My my
31:32
Hollywood alley. And I think I'm going
31:34
to go ahead and head out of here for the
31:36
day and head back to my hotel to relax.
31:39
It is a pretty cool sighteline view from
31:41
over here as you're exiting and walking
31:43
in. I like that perspective. And as I
31:45
walk back to my hotel, stopping off here
31:48
in Disney Village at the Disney Store,
31:50
which has that retro early9s vibe, and
31:53
there's a little ensemble up here of the
31:56
Disney park I was just in right there,
31:58
the studio park. Glad I went on the
32:00
balloon already because today the
32:01
balloon is definitely not operational at
32:04
the moment due to the weather, the
32:06
windiness, and the cloudiness and the
32:08
rain forecast. Very dreary day today.
32:11
Definitely way different than yesterday
32:14
was. Also, I went to Starbucks, got
32:18
myself another coffee, and I got myself
32:21
a mug, souvenir mug. I'll show you when
32:22
I get back to the room. There's no
32:23
denying that that park I just went to is
32:25
a mess. just a convoluted
32:30
mess of everything. Not saying it's a
32:34
it's a bad park, just saying it's a mess
32:36
of the theming that's going on. Very
32:38
similar to how Hollywood Studios out in
32:41
Florida, formerly MGM is great park, but
32:45
really not a studio anymore. Kind of
32:47
like Walt Disney Studio Park. They're
32:50
not really filming anything there. It's
32:52
not like a studio or anything like that,
32:54
but I really enjoy the nostalgia of it.
32:57
Definitely had the strong Eisner Wells
33:00
feel to it as well. And I just loved I
33:03
love the everything I did today. I had a
33:05
such a great time.
33:07
Such a great time. Here a couple more
33:09
days. So, we'll be doing other things I
33:11
have not done in the last two days.
33:13
Yesterday, I went to the Disneyland
33:15
Park, well, the Disneyland Paris Park.
33:18
And today, I went to Walt Disney Studio
33:20
Park. And while they were pretty
33:21
lackluster and really was not a whole
33:24
lot of the studio merch, I would have
33:26
bought a lot more. Well, I would have
33:28
bought something. Whether it be a
33:30
t-shirt, they didn't have any t-shirts.
33:31
They didn't have any pin Disney pins
33:34
that had the studios on it. They said
33:35
they were sold out of those. And so when
33:37
they do get them in, they go really
33:39
quickly.
33:41
But that part it was kind of a bummer
33:42
they didn't have more merchandise geared
33:44
to the studios than the Disneyland Paris
33:48
proper park across the way. And park
33:50
hopping is like you know 2 minutes. I
33:53
mean it's just like it's like walking
33:54
across the espanot almost distance-wise
33:56
out in Anaheim. Park hopping at Disney
33:58
World is a little little different.
34:00
However, I did get a mug. I got a
34:03
Starbucks mug to add to my collection.
34:07
Has the earful tower. Assuming they
34:09
still they call it that still. And you
34:12
got the sorcerers cap there. Let me flip
34:15
this around. Try not to drop it and
34:16
break it. Park Walt Disney Studios. This
34:20
is a kind of a rare one for me. I'm
34:22
going to take it home, pack it up
34:24
nicely. It comes in a box that Starbucks
34:26
provides when you purchase it. And I
34:29
didn't do this. This is like the
34:31
dropping umbrella thing.
34:34
Kind of like the jellyfish uh attraction
34:36
over at DCI.
34:38
That must be Ratatouille maybe. Yeah,
34:41
that's probably the Ratatouille area.
34:43
And then you got the archway leading in.
34:46
But Hollywood Tower, that's the key. The
34:49
good one. And then the Earful Tower. I
34:52
love I love that. I love that. And from
34:55
my room, you got to look closely, but
34:57
you can see the grounded balloon over
34:59
there because of the weather. But if you
35:00
look really closely,
35:02
you can see
35:05
what I consider to be the Earful Tower.
35:07
It's like right there in the middle of
35:08
the stream peeking up over the tree
35:10
line. That's going to do it for today.
35:12
Thanks for watching. I'll see you in the
35:13
next video. The vlog
35:18
is over.
