0:02 Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:02 the recording of this Monday, July 7th,
0:05 2025. About ready to pop back over to
0:07 Disneyland Paris. Today's going to be
0:10 more of a nonride day. I just want to
0:12 soak in the experience, walk around, see
0:15 some things I did not see the first day,
0:17 and also I have booked a reservation to
0:19 eat at Waltz Restaurant on Main Street.
0:23 So, I'm going to do that in a couple
0:24 hours and just see where the rest of the
0:26 day leads. inviting you to join me for a
0:28 casual day at Disneyland Paris. The
0:31 first day I was here, it was so
0:33 overwhelming. Did a lot of attractions,
0:35 a lot of rides. I kind of want to see
0:37 the nooks and crannies today. Join me,
0:40 shall you? It is a little overcast and
0:42 rainy. I'm going sand's umbrella.
0:47 No umbrella, no poncho. Just kind of
0:50 rolling with the punches. Going to grab
0:52 a coffee at Starbucks. Again, there is
0:55 no Starbucks in the park. There is no
0:56 Starbucks on Main Street USA, which is
0:59 kind of a tradition when I tradition
1:00 when I go to Disney parks to get a
1:02 Starbucks on Main Street, but there is
1:04 not one here. The only one is at Disney
1:07 Village, their version of Downtown
1:09 Disney, Disney Springs. So, I'm going to
1:11 grab coffee from there and then stroll
1:14 through, see what I can find. Evidently,
1:17 the first day I was here, I didn't
1:19 realize there's all so many little
1:20 hidden gems that are tucked away in the
1:23 park. And that's kind of what I'm
1:25 looking for. I'm going to do a lot of
1:26 little walkthroughs, little cubby holes,
1:30 little nestles of goodness. That's the
1:32 goal today. That's the goal. All right.
1:34 Running directly parallel to Main Street
1:37 is the arcade
1:39 thoroughare. Look at this. Runs directly
1:42 parallel alongside Main Street. So you
1:44 can get out of the elements, get out of
1:46 the crowds, and just go the same route
1:48 as Main Street. It's just off to the
1:49 side next to the Emporium. This is
1:53 really awesome in here, right there's
1:56 the Statue of Liberty over there.
2:00 All these little displays. This is This
2:03 is a really well done little
2:05 thoroughare. They have this some of the
2:08 other parks. They have this at Magic
2:09 Kingdom. And it's basically just
2:11 unthemed and made to avoid parade
2:13 traffic. This is a million times better.
2:16 Way, way more entertaining and enjoyable
2:19 to stroll through, for sure. This entire
2:22 section is about Lady Liberty herself in
2:25 New York. Statue of Liberty. Fact. Looks
2:28 like there's even a little walk through
2:30 over here that you can go underneath the
2:32 curtains and behold the wonder of
2:35 liberty.
2:36 Dedication cere ceremony October 28th
2:39 1886 the sculpture of the liberty and a
2:44 gift from France to America feast
2:46 fanfare and fireworks the copper and
2:49 iron col copper and iron colossus.
2:55 Oh, what is this? Wait a second. Oh,
3:00 what the heck? Wow. This is something
3:03 very unique and incredible. What an
3:05 homage to the Statue of Liberty that's
3:08 right up there. This little walkway
3:10 through here. You got a little
3:11 plexiglass in here, but you got some
3:13 sculptures there, some wax figures, and
3:15 you have Lady Liberty herself right
3:18 inside this little walkway in. Wow.
3:23 Okay.
3:24 All right. That is uh that is good. I I
3:28 approve of that. That is that is a
3:30 really cool little exhibit. That is
3:34 That was really cool.
3:37 Was not expecting that.
3:40 Producing the first lady of New York
3:42 right there. 100 tons of copper
3:46 sk 100 tons of copper skin on an iron
3:49 skeleton. This is the best avoiding Main
3:53 Street during crowd section I've ever
3:55 seen.
3:57 Disneyland, they do it occasionally when
4:00 it's really busy. Magic Kingdom, they do
4:02 it more often when it's busy. This is
4:05 the way to do it. All through there are
4:07 little walkway in the little entrances
4:09 into the emporium stores. Like here's
4:11 Disney and Company, Main Street. So it's
4:14 almost like a secondary Main Street, the
4:17 arcade version of the Main Street
4:21 Chamber of Commerce.
4:23 I like it.
4:25 I like it. There are nods to Walt and
4:28 Lillian everywhere inside these stores.
4:31 I mean, everywhere you look, there's
4:33 photos of Walt and Lillian. I love that.
4:35 Kind of a nice segue into what I'm going
4:37 to be doing is I'm going to be going to
4:39 a restaurant that is made in honor of
4:42 Walt Disney himself very shortly.
4:44 Particular gift shop on the other side
4:45 of Main Street is called Main Street
4:47 Motors. You can see Kruella up there
4:49 looking out at everyone. It's a classic
4:52 car alert. This entire store is geared
4:56 around older automobiles. Like look
4:58 right up here. There's one right there
5:00 with a bunch of bags on it.
5:06 Crawling through one of the doors into
5:06 the boardwalk candy palace where they
5:09 have this really neat display right here
5:11 with these little hot air balloons going
5:13 up and down with the caramel, the nuts,
5:17 and other things and the little baskets
5:19 there. America's playground. Atlantic
5:23 City. Oh, 1892 by the seaside. There you
5:25 go. A little Jersey. Little Jersey nod.
5:30 Very interesting. Candy fililled
5:33 pillars. Look at this right here. These
5:35 nice delicious treats up here lining the
5:37 lining the pillars here in the candy
5:39 store. There's something I have never
5:40 seen in the US parks here. It's like a
5:43 It's like a stick full of little treats
5:45 there. Look at that. Looks pretty tasty.
5:52 It's not just that one side of the
5:52 arcade. The other side of Main Street
5:55 also has a separate arcade hallway as
5:59 well. Different different theming. Now,
6:01 Statue of Liberty over here. The price
6:03 of a haircut back in the day. 50 cents,
6:06 40 cents, a dollar, dollar 50 cents for
6:09 ladies, 20 cents and 15 cents for boys,
6:11 45 cents for misses. The thing I like
6:14 about this too is all these little
6:16 sections off of Main Street are no dead
6:18 ends. You come off Main Street, you take
6:20 you go off to one of the little side
6:21 entrances and then you just dump into
6:23 these. So really everywhere you go off
6:26 of Main Street leads to something. It's
6:28 not like you have to go in here, turn
6:30 around and go back out to Main Street.
6:32 Like for example, this leads right out
6:34 back out to Main Street USA right over
6:36 there. And just look how cute this is
6:38 like through here. The Main Street
6:40 Marketplace. You just come in this way.
6:42 You turn in and then you're you're in
6:44 the the arcade. One of the two separate
6:47 parallel to Main Street arcade indoor
6:50 streets at the Jersey bathing suits
6:52 right here being promoted. I'll have a
6:54 nice clear view here with nobody in well
6:56 hardly anybody in this little area right
6:58 now. Nation's capital, Washington DC
7:01 right here. New York right here. This is
7:02 almost like a steampunk version of what
7:04 they thought New York was going to be.
7:06 The future of the greatest city in the
7:08 world. That was their prediction of what
7:10 the future of New York was. The future
7:12 of Sanford. Very, very, very
7:14 steampunkish. I might go on a couple of
7:16 attractions. I definitely have not done
7:18 the train yet. So, I might try to do the
7:19 the train today. But look how it still
7:21 says Euro Disneyland and not Disneyland
7:23 Paris, the original name of this park.
7:25 And while on the topic of steampunk,
7:28 steampunk
7:30 theming over into Discovery Land. They
7:33 don't call it Tomorrowland here. They
7:35 call it Discovery Land.
7:44 Even got a little quote over here by
7:44 Jules Vern right there. Look at that
7:47 little Jules Vern quote. Right there
7:49 amongst the flags. I'm going to go
7:51 through the Nautilus while I'm over in
7:52 this section. Saw this the other day and
7:54 didn't realize or didn't grasp the
7:57 concept or just didn't focus on
8:00 understanding that it is a walkthrough.
8:03 I can go inside the Nautilus.
8:08 I can live my own 20,000 leagues under
8:11 the sea right now at the mystery of the
8:15 Nautilus. Yes, evidently this is a
8:18 walkthrough attraction.
8:24 Hey, how you guys doing?
8:24 This is a thing of beauty. Here's all
8:27 the specifications on it. Captain Nemo's
8:30 cabin right there. The forward ballast
8:34 right over there. the the steam plant in
8:37 the back where the fuel goes. Here's the
8:40 length. 70 m, 8 m wide, made out of
8:43 steel plates, power sources,
8:45 electricity. It can go to 6,950
8:49 fathoms and a speed of 50 knots.
8:56 I'm going to go let me go let me go on
8:57 this side. Let's see what this is all
8:58 about over here. Evidently, you walk in
9:01 this
9:03 little lighthouse up there and then you
9:05 go down into it. That's so cool.
9:09 Check it out.
9:12 It has been raining and continually
9:13 sprinkling off and on. So, they have the
9:16 wet floor signs everywhere.
9:19 I think I walk completely under the
9:22 water. You got some jewels right over in
9:24 here. Gold jewels blooms, silver, things
9:28 like that. And then you just continue on
9:31 walking through the Nautilus itself. The
9:34 chamber the chamber of Captain Nebo.
9:39 Oh, this is good.
9:42 I did not even realize this was a thing.
9:47 I rode the 20,000 leagues under the sea
9:49 submarines in Florida way before they
9:51 got rid of all that whole area. Now it
9:53 is the mine train, the seven dwarfs mine
9:57 train attraction, but that was a lot
10:00 different than walking through the
10:01 Nautilus. You sat in it. They still have
10:02 the subs at Disneyland. It's the Finding
10:06 Nemo attraction has been overlaid as
10:08 that, which is still kind of neat to go
10:09 on the subs, but in no way is it 20,000
10:11 leagues under the sea. But this might
10:15 this might topple everything. This might
10:17 be better than all those. I mean, you
10:19 can walk right through the actual
10:22 Nautilus here
10:24 into his quarters. There's his kitchen
10:26 over or his sink over there, his
10:29 bathroom.
10:31 He's got his books right here.
10:48 This is topnotch.
10:48 This is theming done right. This is
10:51 good. This is real good. The sounds, the
10:53 creaky. It feels like I'm under the
10:55 water. The water is above me making the
10:58 the pressure is making the submarine
11:00 creek.
11:10 I wonder what's up there. Must be the
11:10 lookout for it.
11:14 Oh, okay. There it is.
11:17 There's a lagoon there in the middle.
11:28 Like a steel door right here that would
11:28 lead to the outside. If you were to open
11:30 that, the water would probably rush in.
11:32 I don't know if this thing's swaying,
11:34 but it feels like there's like a little
11:35 bit of sway to this. Almost like it's on
11:38 some sort of like hydraulics.
11:40 You know how when you're doing Rise of
11:42 Resistance, if anyone's gone on Rise of
11:44 the Resistance in Florida or in
11:46 California, when you're walking through
11:49 the queue is kind of like you can feel
11:51 your body isn't completely steady. I'm
11:53 getting that getting that sensation
11:55 through there.
11:57 Could just be in my mind though.
12:22 Some sort of a performance or a show or
12:22 something going on over here. Oh, and
12:24 there's his organ.
12:25 There's his organ.
12:33 This is freaking so unbelievably good.
12:33 Look at this thing right here.
12:37 Oh, okay. They This is open now.
12:39 And the big humpback of that.
12:41 Oh, it's a humpback.
12:42 I It must be 30 tons or more.
12:44 It's a whale.
12:45 Oh, it's a whale. Black whale in there.
12:53 Look at that thing swimming around in
12:55 there. Way under the sea right now.
13:00 That was really That was a cool thing.
13:02 Now the the the eye for is closing. Now
13:04 you can't see out into the water
13:05 anymore.
13:07 That was neat.
13:10 You know what this is making me realize
13:12 I need to do while I'm here? Swiss
13:15 Family Robinson tree
13:24 cuz it's kind of giving me those kind of
13:24 vibes in a way. I'm going to see. I got
13:26 to see how if they have I think they
13:28 have a specific family. They think they
13:29 have a treehouse here. Okay, that was
13:31 that was really good. That was so good.
13:38 It's like a real life 20,000 leagues out
13:38 of the sea. That is that was really
13:41 neat. There's the launch up there going
13:44 into Space Mountain, which is now
13:46 hyperspace. I did that the other day.
13:49 Okay, this that was good. Got to be
13:52 honest, it's probably been five maybe 10
13:54 years since I've watched Disney's 20,000
13:56 leagues under the sea. I might have to
13:58 might have to throw it on tonight in in
14:00 my hotel Disney Plus on and give it a
14:02 give it a whirl again.
14:08 That was cool. That was really really
14:08 awesome. All right, I'm now going to
14:10 It's time for my allotted time frame to
14:12 go into Waltz Restaurant right on Main
14:15 Street, USA. Weather's getting pretty
14:17 nasty out here, so it's probably a good
14:18 thing I'm going in to eat at Walts. And
14:21 I'm expecting a fullon homage to the man
14:25 himself,
14:27 the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. Walt
14:31 Disney. I am so stoked to be able to be
14:33 going in here to eat. inside. Now you
14:36 got baby Walt right here and his mom
14:39 Flora and his father Elias
14:43 right up here. This is a really cool
14:45 looking place. This picture was taken in
14:47 LA. Kind of hard to see because of the
14:49 glare, but that's the famous photo
14:52 of him and Nicki. Here we go. We got his
14:54 original Magic Kingdom Disneyland with
14:56 his dad who I just showed the photo
14:58 Elias main street window there standing
15:01 below the main street window. Here's the
15:04 original Disney Studios. There's his
15:06 brother Roy and himself. Right. Here's
15:08 Walt Disneyland as well. About 10
15:10 minutes they said they'll be called me
15:12 to my table. Over here is Lillian's
15:14 Boutique right down over in this area.
15:17 Is this the original Chicago home?
15:19 Maybe. No, that's not where he was born.
15:21 Maybe that may be the Chicago home. To
15:23 be honest, I'm not 100% sure. There's
15:26 his parents, Flora and Elias. Elevator
15:29 here, or lift as they call them in
15:31 France. very decorative with the stained
15:33 glass up there. And then also you got
15:35 the WD logo right there. The
15:39 Where is it? There you go. Yeah, the WD
15:41 logo is kind of in there, I think. All
15:43 right, it is my time. They called my
15:46 number. It is my time to head up the
15:49 stairs.
15:52 There's him and Shirley Temple right
15:55 there. Here's him in the model of the
15:58 Mark Twain. Here's him in Donald Duck.
16:01 Here's opening day. Almost 70 years
16:04 coming up very, very soon. I have this
16:07 dangling from a tapestry in the corridor
16:10 of goons at my house in Celebration,
16:12 Florida. Love me some Walt. Love me some
16:15 Disney history.
16:18 Look at him. Here's some on the Omni
16:19 Boss.
16:21 Yeah, this is really,
16:23 really
16:25 awesome up here.
16:29 Love all the photos through here.
16:32 Very cool. Look at the little telescope
16:35 there on the side of the window and all
16:36 the menus.
16:38 Pinocchio. I like this door. Pinocchio
16:40 artwork up here.
16:46 Take a look at the menu here. Walt an
16:48 American restaurant. Chicago, Illinois.
16:51 There's the man himself.
16:53 See what all the kind of stuff they got.
16:55 kind of wondering if they're going to
16:56 have the Walt's chili in here. It's like
16:59 his thing. It's like he order like a
17:01 whole thing. Starter, main course, and
17:03 dessert.
17:04 We got Shirley Temple and Walt right
17:06 there. Here's him in the military in
17:08 France. And of course, Walt Disney
17:10 Studios, the well, the Hyperion Studios,
17:12 I should say. They have a Shirley Temple
17:14 drink. And in fact, they do. They have
17:16 mocktails. There was sweet Main Street
17:18 mocktail and Shirley Temple mocktail
17:20 right there for €13. Cocktail was
17:22 created in 1930s. It's a tribute to
17:24 Shirley Temple, the Hollywood star. You
17:26 know, I got to get one of these. Take
17:27 home the souvenir Waltz restaurant pen.
17:29 Limited edition right here. A couple
17:31 different ones. What if I have to What
17:33 if I could buy one of each? Okay, for
17:35 the €55, you get starters, you get main
17:39 courses and desserts. Okay, I'm I'm
17:40 going to do that for €55. They have a
17:42 chili conc carne. I wouldn't know if
17:44 classify that as Waltz chili, but it
17:46 does say this deconstructed version
17:49 comes from a can of chili, which was
17:50 another Walt's favorite. Walt's firm
17:53 favorites.
18:01 What a very enjoyable experience.
18:01 The food was really good. You had the
18:04 the starters and then you had the entree
18:07 and then you had the dessert. There was
18:09 a few different options you could get.
18:11 Everything I chose tasted so good. I
18:13 mean, every the flavor was really good,
18:15 the experience, the ambiance, the vibe
18:17 of the place was really good as well.
18:20 and a lot of unique uh you know Walt
18:23 type stuff around the second floor of
18:26 the on Main Street. There's even areas
18:28 that you can overlook out of Main
18:30 Street. I ended up getting that pin, the
18:33 collector's pin. There's a few different
18:34 ones, three different ones. There's
18:37 there's for three different ones
18:39 throughout the course of the year. The
18:40 summery one is the one that I chose
18:42 since it's summer now here in Paris. So,
18:45 ended up grabbing that one. But I really
18:47 cannot say how much I really really
18:50 loved the Walts restaurant. I just love
18:53 the the honoring of Walt Disney.
18:55 Without, you know, without him, none of
18:57 this would have existed. Disneyland,
18:58 Walt Disney World, then eventually
19:00 Disneyland Paris. He started it all, you
19:03 know, with the
19:05 animation and Mickey Mouse and Snow
19:07 White. Everyone told him Snow White
19:09 would not be successful. Snow White was
19:10 successful. Everyone told him Disneyland
19:12 would not be successful. Disneyland was
19:14 successful. another empire he has
19:16 created just really really really
19:19 fantastic. So it was really cool to eat
19:21 on Main Street at Walt's restaurant and
19:24 have some chili and a Shirley Temple. He
19:27 fact I like the Shirley Temple so much I
19:29 had two of them which is a mocktail.
19:31 Kind of neat to have a Shirley Temple in
19:33 Walts.
19:35 And then I ended up getting that I ended
19:36 up getting the the pin. It's I figured
19:39 it was definitely kind of a super
19:40 collectible thing that you wouldn't
19:42 really get unless you were here. So all
19:44 our dreams can come true if we have the
19:46 courage to pursue them. Said Walt Disney
19:49 quoted. This is the summer pin from Walt
19:51 Disney or from Walt's restaurant
19:55 Chicago, Illinois, which is where he was
19:57 born. An American restaurant. Loved it.
20:00 Loved it. Loved it a lot. Now I'm going
20:02 to go up in the in the treehouse. Swiss
20:03 Family Office in Treehouse. This is a
20:06 This is a cool thing though, right? Oh,
20:08 look at this. It looks like there's only
20:09 a limited edition of 5,000 of these.
20:12 Nice.
20:17 Adventureland
20:17 treehouse I think is right around this
20:21 corner. Oh, I can kind of see it through
20:23 there. Yeah, right there. I think that's
20:24 the treehouse right there. And as I'm
20:25 looking at their treehouse, take a look
20:27 at these gargantuan fish down below
20:29 here. Look at those things. They're like
20:33 they're kind of swimming upstream sort
20:35 of kind of. They're just staying in the
20:37 same place. So just they're just
20:38 relaxing right here at the base entrance
20:41 to Adventure Land and Swiss Family
20:44 Robinson Treehouse.
20:48 Of course, the Swiss Family Robinson
20:50 treehouse at Magic Kingdom is still
20:52 there. There is a inspired by Swiss
20:55 Family Robinson treehouse at Disneyland.
20:56 They just redid it. They changed it back
20:58 from Tarzan's treehouse. It's not
21:00 technically Swiss Family Robinson
21:02 Treehouse at Disneyland in Anaheim, but
21:05 it's inspired by They're just taking
21:08 little little tidbits of Swiss Family
21:11 Robinson and putting it in the
21:13 treehouse. They don't want to call it
21:14 the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse.
21:16 They just want to call it inspired.
21:18 This, I believe, is Swiss Family
21:20 Robinson treehouse, just like Magic
21:21 Kingdom in Florida. All right, there is
21:23 a cave here at their Swiss Family. I'm
21:26 going outside of a cave. A Swiss Family
21:28 Robinson. Look at this. I'm into the
21:29 darkness of a cave. Okay, it appears as
21:32 if I'm underneath the root system of the
21:34 tree itself,
21:36 which is a really interesting idea,
21:39 unique idea. I think you can walk out
21:41 all the different sides,
21:43 but this is like the root system of the
21:45 tree. Uh, it's raining now, so might at
21:49 some point have to buy an umbrella. I
21:51 like to have a This is kind of neat. You
21:52 have the caves, but then you also have a
21:54 waterfall here. That's different. I like
21:57 that.
21:58 I like the waterfall aspect here that
22:00 they've added.
22:02 La Cababana de Robinson. Swiss Family
22:06 Robinson. Am I pronouncing that right?
22:09 La Cababany. La Cababany de Robinson.
22:12 The cabana. So file this under the third
22:16 treehouse. Swiss Family Robinson
22:18 treehouse I've been on in my life other
22:20 two US Disney parks. And this is the
22:22 third one I recently rewatched. trying
22:24 to talk about how I haven't watched
22:27 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea in about 5
22:29 or 10 years, but I have watched Swiss
22:32 Family Robinson a couple years ago. I
22:34 rewatched it.
22:36 So, it's kind of fresh in my mind. It's
22:38 relatively fresh in my mind. I think I
22:40 rewatched it right before the Disneyland
22:42 one reopened was the rethe when they
22:44 wanted back from Tarzan, the one out in
22:46 Anaheim. I think I rewatched it then
22:48 before the reopening of that when I went
22:50 up in there. So, it's good to see that
22:52 supposed is back at Disneyland. at
22:54 Anaheim and they're still here in Paris
22:56 and they're still holding strong at Walt
22:58 Disney World
23:00 over in over on the east coast in
23:02 Florida as well. So, three Swiss Family
23:05 Robinsones tree houses. I have been up
23:08 inside. So, knocked this one off. One of
23:10 Walt's Walt era's projects.
23:14 So, good to good to see the treehouse.
23:17 It's kind of a wall day in a lot of
23:18 ways. Kind of kind of a wall day in a
23:20 lot of a lot of ways today. It's kind of
23:22 kind of
23:24 It's kind of morphing that direction
23:26 being about wall. Kind of wish they had
23:29 jungle cruise here though. They don't
23:30 have jungle cruise here. At least as far
23:32 as I know. There's I have to check the
23:33 map. I don't think there's jungle cruise
23:34 here. Oh, wait a second. I haven't been
23:36 on Pinocchio yet. That's a Walt era dark
23:39 ride. I didn't go on this the other day.
23:40 So, I should probably do this and see
23:41 how this differs from Anaheim's version.
23:43 Recently rewatch this classic a few
23:46 months ago. Man, it is a messed up film.
23:49 I always heard the rumor too that
23:50 Lillian hated Pinocchio. the Pinocchio
23:53 movie, Walt's version of Pinocchio. She
23:56 she wasn't in care for it. I don't know
23:57 if that's hearsay or not, but always
23:58 heard that. There's been countless times
24:00 in Anaheim. I've shown this little
24:02 window. When you look out of it, you can
24:04 see the Matter Horn. Obviously, no
24:07 Matter Horn here, though. That's funny.
24:10 They have the same exact window, though.
24:11 Just no Matter Horn view. Holy cow,
24:14 there are a crap ton of people in here.
24:17 This queue is way bigger inside. There's
24:19 like hundreds of people in here. I am
24:21 really having a hard time understanding
24:23 how the heck this Q system works. It is
24:27 I don't understand how they're loading
24:28 here. This is different. This is a crazy
24:31 long line for Pinocchio. I've still got
24:34 to go this way and then cut back and do
24:35 all the double backs. Go through this
24:37 little strong of people right here. It
24:40 looks like it's a looks like it's a
24:42 six-seater car and not a four. I think
24:46 it's a six-seater
24:48 drive vehicle. Getting there slowly but
24:49 surely. Everyone everyone kind of gets
24:51 right over there into that little
24:52 section and fills up with three rows
24:55 with six seats.
24:58 But it is different how how it's set up.
25:00 So this whole middle section is empty.
25:02 Thought they were queuing people here.
25:04 But you go around loop here. You wait
25:05 here and then they push you over there
25:08 in the turn style. The thing that
25:09 confused me when I couldn't see this, I
25:11 thought they were loading here. That's
25:12 what was threw me off. I'm going to be
25:14 in row number three. Look at this. A
25:16 three row sixseater. That is so
25:20 That is different. That is definitely
25:22 different. I'm in the back row on a
25:23 three-seater. I did not expect to be
25:25 waiting almost an hour. Let's call it 45
25:27 minutes waiting for Pinocchio because
25:29 usually on a slow day out in Anaheim,
25:31 it's a walk-on. You know, it's like
25:32 maybe 5 10 minutes tops. On a busy day,
25:35 maybe the longest I've ever waited is a
25:37 half hour. If you're waiting on a for
25:39 Pinocchio in Anaheim for more than a
25:40 half hour, you know that it's like a
25:42 completely at capacity day, like a
25:44 soldout day where all the annual
25:46 passholder reservations are completely
25:47 booked up and it's some kind of a
25:49 special event like an anniversary or
25:50 something. But here, obviously, more
25:52 demand, more people in Fantasy Land.
25:54 That's why they went from a two-seater
25:56 to a three-seater. So, you could instead
25:57 of 40 fitting up to four people, you can
25:59 fit up to three people. And I noticed
26:01 too, even though it is a carbon copy of
26:03 the version in California, it appears as
26:05 if that they kind of have like they uh
26:07 newer, it's like a newer version, so
26:08 it's a little more cleaned up, more
26:10 lighting. There was a few things that
26:11 were a little bit different, but even
26:13 the ride track seemed seemed as if it
26:15 was very very similar. But I enjoyed it.
26:17 I'm glad I glad I did it. At least now I
26:19 can say I know what the one here at
26:20 Disneyland Paris is in comparison to the
26:22 original one at Walt's original Magic
26:24 Kingdom in Anaheim. Although after
26:26 waiting that long, I'm kind of afraid to
26:27 even see what the line is for Snow
26:29 White. Kind of hoping they still have
26:31 Snow White Scary Adventures instead of
26:33 the Enchanted Wish. They did away with
26:35 the scary version out in California. I
26:37 missed the scary version, so maybe they
26:39 have it here. So, I'll drop in line for
26:40 that next. Oh, yeah. They're still
26:42 referring referring to it as scary
26:45 adventures. Board a mine cart. Travel
26:48 through the scary adventures.
26:50 Snow White. I think the curtains draw
26:54 back there, too. Wicked Queens up there.
27:01 notice from a distance though, but I
27:01 think she is definitely a bigger indoor
27:03 queue here as well. Look at this. It's
27:05 like eight eight or nine rows of people
27:07 instead of the three. Downpouring out
27:09 there now. No one's getting out of line,
27:10 though. I got under the cover here just
27:13 in time. Does appear to be moving a
27:16 little bit quicker than Pinocchio. The
27:18 It seems to be lo The vehicles are
27:20 getting loaded a little faster when it's
27:22 over here where this little cellar is.
27:23 This is in a different spot as well.
27:26 This is when you're already a couple
27:27 rows into the line. It's like tucked
27:29 away in a different little area right
27:31 over here than it is what I'm used to
27:35 in other places. Take a look at the
27:37 poison apple right there. Has like a
27:39 little little evil face in it.
27:42 Little little skull face in the poison
27:44 apple. It's kind of a nice touch. And
27:47 there's a little skeleton right up
27:48 there, too. Skeleton up on the side of
27:50 the little mantel mantel piece right
27:53 there.
27:55 Six six people can fit on these, too.
27:57 three row three row
28:01 three row ride vehicles instead of two.
28:03 Yeah, I really like that version. It was
28:06 like uh kind of how it used to be out in
28:08 Anaheim before they changed it. And
28:10 seeing it again really makes me realize
28:12 how much more that I like the Scary
28:15 Adventures version more than I like the
28:18 Enchanted Wish. I mean, it's like 10
28:19 times better. And this one just seems so
28:22 bright and like elegant and cleaned up
28:24 inside even more than the version I
28:26 remember. out on the west coast of
28:28 California. It just seems like they had
28:30 a little more lighting in there with the
28:32 black lights and the like the way the
28:33 things were glimmering and everything.
28:35 It was kind of a It was also an area I
28:37 don't really recall from the original
28:38 ride with the with the mine mine area
28:41 was a little more a little more jewels
28:43 and things, but man, the the the scary
28:45 forest, the nighttime scary forest was
28:47 like really good. Really really good.
28:51 Yeah. Yeah. I thought that was that was
28:54 great. Everyone's kind of
28:56 kind of filed over here because or not
28:59 kind of filed but
29:01 everyone was like crammed at the
29:03 entrance because no one wants to like
29:04 get out of the get out of the dryness
29:07 and into the into the rain. But all I
29:09 have to do is just run over well not run
29:11 but all I have to do is just walk very
29:14 carefully and brisfully over to the
29:17 castle. I am able to go inside the
29:19 castle here and I can get out of the
29:20 elements and hopefully it'll stop
29:22 raining after a little while. It's weird
29:24 to see this huge castle here. Yeah.
29:25 Getting back getting out of here
29:28 or staying out of the staying out of the
29:30 rain is going to be difficult cuz it's
29:32 it's pouring outside now.
29:34 Yeah, I think I I think I feel pretty
29:36 good about today. I feel feel pretty
29:38 good about today. So weird that there's
29:39 no partner statue here. It's It's over
29:41 at the other park. It's over at the
29:42 other park, not here. I knew just where
29:44 to head into the arcade area. This is
29:47 the Casey's here. Let me just pop in
29:49 here and see what kind of baseball stuff
29:50 they have. Casey's all the Casey's
29:53 Corner baseball stuff through here.
29:55 Whoever wants to know the heart and mind
29:58 of America, they better learn baseball.
30:05 Love that.
30:05 The hexophone right here. Got all this
30:08 baseball memorabilia. The nation's game.
30:11 Three outs and one run right up there.
30:13 All kind of baseball stuff. Pennants, a
30:15 New Hampshire pennant, some old baseball
30:17 cards. Saturday Evening Coast, CocaCola,
30:22 classic stuff. Even that picture of Babe
30:24 Ruth up there.
30:26 There's a lot of really good stuff in
30:28 here. That's the old Boston Braves
30:31 mirror right there. And I thought about
30:32 going on the railroad when I was walking
30:34 out and I saw the wait time for the
30:36 railroad. That's the Eureka.
30:39 60 minutes.
30:42 60 minute wait time. an hour wait time
30:46 to ride on the Disneyland Paris Railway.
30:50 Wow. Maybe they only have one train that
30:52 does the Grand Circle and not countless
30:55 trains. That's That's a long time to
30:58 wait. I think I'm going to take a stroll
31:00 out. The rain has subsided. Start
31:02 heading back down through Disney Village
31:03 and then back over to my hotel and call
31:06 it a day at some point. Survive without
31:08 a poncho, without an umbrella. Going to
31:11 the exit. Few
31:14 takeaways
31:16 of being here at Disneyland Paris. A lot
31:18 of people smoke.
31:22 Thought
31:22 that was thunder, but it's just
31:23 whatever's underneath here.
31:28 Pretty much wherever you go, you will
31:28 smell cigarettes,
31:30 which I went and used the restroom
31:32 facilities, and sometimes restrooms have
31:34 a, you know, a restroom bathroom odor,
31:36 obviously for what people are doing
31:37 their business. Didn't smell any of that
31:40 in the bathroom because people were
31:42 smoking in there. Really been enjoying
31:44 my trip here. I was going to leave
31:46 originally I was going to leave today. I
31:48 was going to fly out today
31:51 and I extended my trip a little bit. So,
31:54 not leaving today. I feel like
31:56 originally I was going to do one day at
31:59 Disneyland Paris and then one day over
32:00 at the Walt Disney Studios
32:04 Park and I thought I needed another day,
32:08 maybe a couple days to just do other
32:10 stuff
32:12 to, you know, see some things I didn't
32:14 get to see the first time. First day was
32:16 so overwhelming that first day and I
32:18 wanted to eat at the Walts restaurant.
32:21 So I stuck around. I'm sticking around.
32:24 Not for long.
32:26 for a little, but I'm sticking around. I
32:28 didn't leave today, but that was the
32:30 original plan. And I extended the hotel
32:33 and change changed my eventual departing
32:36 flight. Well, that's going to do it for
32:38 today. Man, I had a good time today,
32:41 too. Seeing a lot of Walt stuff, seeing
32:44 the two walkthroughs that run parallel
32:46 to Main Street USA, the arcades they
32:49 call them, on either side.
32:52 Really, Disneyland Paris is just really
32:54 great. They really took a lot of things
32:57 that the original park didn't either
33:00 have space for or they just didn't when
33:03 they originally built it, they weren't
33:05 expecting the crowds, things like that.
33:08 And they've accommodated for those here.
33:12 Again, the first day I was here, I kind
33:14 of stated that it reminds me of Walt's
33:17 original Magic Kingdom of Disneyland
33:19 Anaheim with Elbow Room. Well, that's
33:23 going to do it for today. Also, but it's
33:24 also very busy. Fantasy Land was busy
33:28 today. Probably because it's summer. I
33:31 should probably come back in the offse
33:32 if they who knows if they have an
33:34 offseason. Probably be easier to walk on
33:36 some of the dark rides. But,
33:37 nonetheless, thanks for watching. I'll
33:39 see you in the next video. The vlog is
33:41 over.
