I remember going through the tree house in Disneyland when I was 9. It was totally enchanting and transported me to another world.

1992!!!!

Great pictures Jim. While Disneyland will always be Walt’s original and Magic Kingdom was great follow-up, Disneyland Paris and the great work of Tony Baxter and so many talented Imagineers just still feels like the best realization of Walt’s original park.

I was there on press day 11 April 1992, and the following day with the pubic. Not sure how you getting that date so incorrectly. Suggesting an edit to maintain credibility. Thanks.

I want to go so bad😭

Love this video, what a nice trip down memory lane! I followed the construction of the park, as much as it was possible when there was no internet 🙂 Can you maybe help clear up something? A friend of mine insists that the dragon originally was breathing fire, but I'm sure that even on my first visit on April 17, 1992, it was only breathing smole/steam.

I dont understand why imagineers arent allowed to go backstage on any attraction they want. That would be the no 1 perk for me.

Thanks Jim, you are putting DLP on my radar . Only Sea, Shanghai & the 2 in Paris to finish the set . Looking forward to all your work

I´d been in the park since it opened in 1992, and it really is the mors beautiful kingdom park of them all! You all did a great job there!

Thank you Jim!

I could've watched another eight minutes of this.

Cool

Beautiful!

Very cool

It is France could you have not found bread and cheese for a picnic lunch on the Island you went to.

1992 it opened…

Thank you for sharing this with us Mr. Shull! Loving this aerial view of Disney’s most beautiful park and wishing for this resort to stay successful.

So cool!

Next time you do another update let me know! Would love to go with you!

Love this video ❤

As somebody who religiously visited Disney World every year for about 15 or so… I got to see quite a few of the rides breakdown and get walked through the back areas. Unfortunately, the video camera that I had at the time was huge and easily discernible. So I couldn’t take any good video. But it was interesting to see how many of these rides worked. Your videos are bringing back many of those memories. I hope all is well.

02:33 wait! the horse drawn streetcar can be hooked up to the disneyland railroad engine? i've been going to disneyland nearly 60 years and never knew that was possible. or is that a specially made car that just looks like the streetcar? it does seem shorter. either way i've never seen that before.

This is brilliant - so much fun to watch - thank-you!

When I heard about the announcement of the new monsters roller coaster, my first thought is that a Monster Inc land would work so well in the Hollywood back lot at DCA. It just seems like such a natural fit.

How does Disneyworld's fall into such disrepair and neglect, and no one visiting it at all? Why weren't the same upgrades made to it that Disneyland's got? Same with Tomorrowland in Disneyland vs WDW why the neglect? It seems so crazy.

How do you like the fact that Bob Iger now wants to remove everything from Liberty Square. You have to love California liberals. Destroy everything in the name of progress.

Love to hear an insiders thoughts. Thank you!

killed the magic...

Paid $320 for two tickets and after 5 hours and two rides, we left. Never to return. They told us we need to make a reservation to get into the Haunted Mansion. Sorry for complaining.

Wow, thanks for all your history, Jim. I love seeing how all these attractions have evolved.

I think there are quite a few of us that are hoping that when the new haunted mansion shop opens, that we'd be able to view that old pet cemetery possibly through the back window or even better if the back had doors... what do you think the chances of this happening are?

i adore that you put a kitty in the suitcase this time! 😻 i kinda want a country bear 🐻 animatronic or two on grizzly river run, Ursus or Big Al.

When I participated in the Disney College Program (latter 2000’s), they always had free tours & activities we could sign up for on The Hub. One such tour was Haunted Mansion Flashlight Tour around mid September until the week before Halloween. 1-2 sessions a week, but they filled up so quickly that I couldn’t get a spot even if I was logged on at the time the signup was opened. I sure would have loved to see the WDW Version of it during my internship, but the Disneyland one even more so as the entire park has an all encompassing feeling of care, history, and immersion that you can only truly appreciate when you get to experience it. One day I’d love to return but I’m thankful for that one day I was able to go!

Happened to me as a kid on Journey Into Imagination. My dad has VHS footage of it somewhere & spoke of it every year we rode it, up until the closure & demolition of the original masterpiece by Tony Baxter & all the other incredible Imagineers involved.

what an awesome episode for us that have been in wonder of backstage since we were single digits:) Thank you Mr. Shull!

I would love to see the Redcar travel from front gates to San Fran Tokoyo

Another great show! I loved seeing the control room - I bet that was a fun shock.

Always a fun journey ... Grizzly Rapids is head and shoulders above the rest of the rides at DCA. Perhaps the best themed area of the park. Having ridden the Kali River Rapids after, I could definitely see the improvement between the two versions. Although I will never make it to Shanghai - It would great to see the Western River Expedition finally built at Magic Kingdom. I found the Shipwreck Rapids at SeaWorld of San Diego to be a interesting twist on the Rapids Concept too. Never thought about the reservoir, but the simulating of the tides in Monterey is a nice double dip. Only wish DCA had explored an attraction or two for the Monterey and San Francisco areas ... perhaps a Herbie road rally attraction or the cable cars.

Ride breakdowns as competitive espionage. That’s awesome. 😂
