I'm very cautious of nice people. Either they're faking it and have sinister plans or they have been blessed to never have known the true horrors and pain of life, in which case I don't want to be the one to bursts their bubble.
That Goofy doll is fabulous! The details! What an amazing story to go with it. It had me laughing out loud on the couch. My kids probably think I’ve lost my mind. They don’t know I lost it long ago.
Thank you Coco. I’ve been a fan for quite a while. Wanted to share with you that today has been extra special. The kind of day I could share a Panettone with everyone!!! I found out my cancer has NOT come back. I had some weird symptoms but I’m all good!!! Feeling so blessed. Thank you for always being such a happy and fun and entertaining person. When you started this quarantine series I was in turmoil. You made me laugh and helped me do much. Now, it’s all ok. Love you and sincerely appreciate what you do and who you are. Love to your hubby. Be well😘
"...I think about how one night I almost blew up." 😆 Simply one of my all-time favorite storytellers. Thank you so much for sharing these, Miss Coco. They're delivering such joy in such a strange time. 💚💚
I’m happy to hear these stories that you’ve been sharing. I had my own version of a Martian Money gift from a homeless guy at 4 am on my way some after hours thing in the basement at Nell’s in the 90’s. He gave me a piece of spaceship found in Antarctica wrapped up in a deep purple scarf. I was tripping and said, “ok, I’ll go with it.” Next day I realized that it was in an empty Lancôme container that once held some serum pods. It was a total spaceship. I kept it for years.
Oh goodness, I grew up in Florida and it was unfathomable to hang out by fresh water fearlessly, you had to constantly scan the surface for the ridged backs of the alligators. Coco, you made my evening!
Thank you, Coco for making it easier to get through quarantine (this fkin virus bothers me). You deserve no less than the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for your service.
I love that you mention how clean Disneyland/Disneyworld is, because from the Disney history videos I've watched Walt was VERY adamant about it being clean, which is why there are trash cans at least every 30 feet.
This brought back a road trip with my family from Vancouver Canada to San Francisco in the hottest part of the summer. Of course no seatbelts but even worse no air conditioning. It must have been a 66 Impala. Would certainly love that car today. Amazing memories also several of my brother and I being almost comatose my Lord that car must have reached 100 degrees. Mom and Dad mixing cocktails in the front seat as they did in those days. Once we got to San Francisco the difficult travel was quickly forgotten and replaced by wonderful new memories. It was quite something in the 60s. So sorry I did go on. Please stay safe and be well.
I love these little stories from your life. You are able to wrap your classic humor around them and it makes them such a joy to listen to. Keep them coming!
I grew up in and around San Diego, LA, orange county etc. When we were very little, we were living in Irvine, CA where my parents were attending Uni Cali Irvine and had friends who worked at Disney Land. We went to disney land every single week, sometimes twice a week, because they got free tickets! My favorite rides were the Haunted mansion, Pirates of the Caribbean, the tiki room, Robinson Crusoe's tree house, so many good attractions back then. They had an authentic feel. The treehouse was made of wood and had all kinds of antique artifacts. The haunted house was creepy and dark. Pirates was so cool! It's A Small World. I feel very lucky to have experienced the Disney Land i did and to have been able to go so often. I'm not a huge Disney fan, but those are very special memories. I'm 32 now and feel a bit sad that they've changed so many attractions. But I have to remind myself that the magic of Disney is for the moment, so kids can connect with their favorite characters.
Oh my gosh Coco, I lost it with the haunted mansion ride 🤣 I'm listening to your Solitude playlist doing a workout, doing reps with dumbbells above my head, your mother's hitting you in the side of the head I burst out laughing I had to stop 😂 Love you Coco 💗
4:29 I lost it..I knew where THAT was going and quick lol. Traffic shmaffic...Gaters and snake No thank you. Another wonderful story, Thank you so much Coco! Have a wonderful day :)
It makes me smile to think that our paths may have crossed during adventures in Disney World. My family used to travel from Seattle to Florida every year and the days we looked forward to most were the end of the trip when my parents would take us. I TOTALLY identify with the car ride, the alligators and the fresh OJ. This video reminded me of some great times. Thanks, Coco!
Its a year later and as we all try just little bye little to explore outside i gleefuly revert back as tho anew to your soothing tales...Coco...thank you
"That lake was infested with alligators." - Honey, EVERY lake in Florida is infested with alligators. There are little canals and ditches that connect the lakes and rivers and retention ponds, and the alligators just go whither they will.
How funny. You kept Goofy!!! I HAD the same Goofy and I also had Micky. From the same place I'm sure and probably around the same time. I had forgotten all about them and I would LOVE to still have them. It's amazing how you can remember things in such detail.
I look forward to your posts! They always bring a smile to my face, but these bathroom confessionals are keeping my spirits up during these uncertain times. You're a treasure!
I love the haunted mansion story. Reminds me of going with my dad to Trail of Terror (which was a legit haunt/scare attraction versus Disney). We got up to the front and I didn’t want to go and he dragged my 11 year ass through it. My eyes were closed for most of it but what I saw I still remember vividly. Hope you’re well Miss Coco, I have tickets to see you again in Minneapolis (third time viewer here) in April and I doubt it will happen but I love seeing you and hearing your stories. You’re my favorite.
charming story! Florida was the same for our family= driving, station wagon, food, luggage, many people in the car- all the way down to Cape Coral/Ft. Myers. Going to the shell factory was our Disney Land. LOL. I used to swim in the canals until I realized gators lived there too.
Ms.Coco. May you please do story time like you did reading Frozen? That video gave me such a laugh. Laughter is good medicine. With much appreciation on the proposed thought. We are all in the this together! And you are. It alone. ❤️💙💚
I am enjoying these little stories between after shocks from our earthquake we had out here in Utah last week. God bless those who have sustained major damages to their homes. God bless America at this time we love these stories miss coco durring our time in isolation.
Miss Coco, I really can’t explain how much you mean to me. I have grown up watching you and listening to you, and you have always been a source of love and acceptance for me. I remember watching you in the 90’s as I was coming out, and I was so proud of knowing one person in the entertainment industry that was unapologetically yourself. I live in Portland Oregon and would love to meet you when you come next. You are amazing and real and a true treasure to this world. I hope you know that.
Same stories just on the West Coast, driving across the desert from Phoenix to Anaheim where my grandparents lived. Summer after summer of stories in the station wagon with my sister and parents. My love of Disneyland lives on! ❤️
Goofy is my favorite Disney character. Before VHS or Beta max, my family had a vinyl disc movie player (they were like records in a sleeve that played movies), and I had one with a bunch of Goofy cartoons. The Goofy sports cartoons still crack me up.
Love you so much Coco!!! Growing up in Southern California my favorite place was Disneyland for the same reasons, it was clean and the people were friendly. A true break from reality. Keep the stories coming!!! 😚
Oh Miss Coco, I too could listen to your stories all day! You're Amazing, Awesome, Beautiful and absolutely Fabulous! Thank YOU so much. My neighbors and I are Coco Puffs, & Love all your RUclips video's! Cheers from San Diego CA
OMG, this reminds me of when I was 13 and we took a family trip to Toronto/Niagara Falls. During a long day of shopping, I bought a bunch of HUGE Duran Duran posters and pins from a street vendor with money I saved up from babysitting and chores. Well the first night in the hotel, the fire alarm went off and I panicked, saying that if I had to, I'd jump off our balcony (about 8 floors up), into the pool below...but I'd have to bring my posters with me, LOL! Luckily, it was just a false alarm. But holy shit, I was so scared for my John Taylor/Duran Duran posters, lol! 😌
Coco, your Thoughts series are lightening my brain this week. Huge love going out to you and your husband. Thank you so very much for sharing these interesting tales of your life. I have a similar Car Terror story from when I was about 7 yrs old. My parents and myself were driving home late one hot July night after dinner at my grandparent's. Dad had all the windows down in our 'new' 1975 Chevy Monte Carlo. I was in the back seat sleeping. Dad flicked a lit Marlboro out the window and as he drove, it blew into the open back seat window and set the car seat upholstery on fire. I woke up to my mother shrieking and the car slamming to a halt, being dragged out in the dark. Of course, my Dad being my Dad, was furious that the seat was destroyed... not that he'd almost burned his only child to death like a Kettle Chip. Good times. Love you Coco!!
It is a delight to hear you share these wonderful memories and the magic you bring to enlighten and brighten being in solitude lock-down. I'll keep watching and laughing. Thank you!
another great video....I can relate so much to that era....was a kid in the 60's and 70's too... in a family with 8 kids and a blue Used station wagon / no seat belts...sitting on laps...and I have an Aunt Betty too....hangin' on by a thread at 83......so many stories...so many..... especially Summer time
Really enjoyed your Disney World story. I too have great memories from DW in the seventies. In fact your picture as a kid looks a lot like me lol!! Bless you Coco ❤️
Goodys worth something money now. I can’t tell you how much I look forward to these. You are an angel and are really helping me get through this tough time. I’m from Minnesota, home of MN nice. We would’ve driven your family absolutely nuts! Blessings & love!💜🕊💜
Lord you almost died twice in one night! When I was a child I was terrified of Mr. Toad’s Wild Ride because I believed the train at the end was the Disneyland Railroad and we were going to be killed in a head on collision!
I recently discovered my dad went to high school with you (same graduating year). He was probably a jerk but I am such a huge fan of you! You bring so much joy and laughter to the world. Definitely gonna be drinking a lot of tension tamer during these crazy days.
omg, i used to have a Jiminy Cricket that looked a lot like your Goofy! he had wire arms under his little jacket, and eventually one of his hands fell off because he was posed excessively. that was quite sad. :-(
Hola Coco! I am LOVING these moments of distraction... it’s like you’re in the USO, entertaining us while the war wages on! I only went to Disneyworld twice, both times in the 70s when I was a small boy. The first time I went, my grandparents took my brother and I, and it was a road trip to get there and back just like you described. My two most vivid memories of that trip there and back were coming across a roadside stand near a vast orange grove that sold ORANGE flavored soft serve ice cream, which I’ve never seen in New England, where I’ve lived nearly my whole life; and the second memory is of coming across a small, deserted ocean beach on the way back... my grandparents pulled off the road and let my brother and I go swimming for a little while. Our bathing suits were packed away, so we skinny dipped. We were 6 and 8, so we didn’t care about that. My mother is of Spanish decent and tans very easily, and I take after her while my grandparents and brother were always VERY white, and for the rest of the trip home and all that summer they nicknamed me “Paleface” because of my VERY pronounced tan line :) Oh, and the second trip to Disney, with my parents, we flew down, and to get me on the plane, they told me we’d be meeting my grandmother down there, which of course we weren’t, and I threw the biggest tantrum in the airport that they never lied to me about that to get me to go somewhere ever again... they were so embarrassed! If you read this, I wonder if you’ll remember the vending machines they had all throughout the park back then that would make wax figurines right in front of you to take home as souvenirs? I became infatuated with the one of Flipper and bought about five of them from different machines in different colors of wax. Sadly, we stored them in the trunk of my grandparents’ big brown LTD for the trip home, and at some point (probably before we crossed the Mason-Dixon Line) they all melted together, and I arrived home to find I was now the unhappy owner of a huge Flipper ball of wax! Glad to hear you wisely chose a memento that could stand the test of time! I’d have been happy if mine had just lasted beyond the return trip home! LOL!
“Do you have time for one more story?” Oh Miss Coco I could listen to these stories all day! These are wonderful 💗
My thoughts exactly Mallory. The comfort that Coco brings is an absolute phenomenon. I cannot get enough of her. Stay safe and be well.
Coco Peru telling a story = ASMR blessings from above. the internet is beamed through satellites you know right?
@@RIXRADvidz I read that as "saltines" not satellites. Confusing at first, but funny.
"Your grandparents are going to have to sit here on a hot bench..
I don't give a sh!t!"
This is a whole mood.

And then mother being like “YOU WILL EXPERIENCE THIS RIDE”.
I just loves these little coco bites.
coco puffs?

Keep these stories coming, its a refreshing relief in otherwise somber days. I need these smiles and giggles, Thanks.
Agreed! It's so nice and interesting to deep dive into little moments of your life. Thank you.
OMG I agree! 🙂
I’ve been so depressed. I hear your voice and everything is more magical.
“What the hell was her problem?”...still me when someone is too nice. #NativeNewYorker
Kurt, so funny. Isn't it sad that we question people when they are nice? I guess it's so unusual. Lol
I'm very cautious of nice people. Either they're faking it and have sinister plans or they have been blessed to never have known the true horrors and pain of life, in which case I don't want to be the one to bursts their bubble.
@@mr.snippy OMG...so funny and true. What a crazy world we are living in, especially now. Stay safe and let's look forward to hearing more from Coco.
"God damn it open your eyes" priceless xxxx
"What the hell is her problem?" 😂😂😂😂😂
I cracked up because as a child I loved how clean Disney world was as well.
That Goofy doll is fabulous! The details! What an amazing story to go with it. It had me laughing out loud on the couch. My kids probably think I’ve lost my mind. They don’t know I lost it long ago.
" ... no seat belts... ", I love you, Coco!
“Clarence and Elsie” ... now I wanna build your family tree!!!!

Imagination and wonder, maybe its in disguise you never know they're tricky little buggers
👾👽🤣🤣
We NEED Coco Goes to Disney World, once the quarantine is over!
Gotta love Mama Coco telling baby Clinton to open his eyes!
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
NO SEAT BELTS!!! I remember those days.
See, Miss Coco - you already survived the flaming gas tank AND the alligator. This too shall pass.
Oh goodness, I grew up in Florida and it was unfathomable to hang out by fresh water fearlessly, you had to constantly scan the surface for the ridged backs of the alligators.
Coco, you made my evening!
I LOVED the haunted house when I was a kid. That head in the glass ball was fabulous!
Thank you, Coco for making it easier to get through quarantine (this fkin virus bothers me). You deserve no less than the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award for your service.
It’s been a while since I’ve smiled for 7 minutes straight. Absolutely delightful
"NO BULK GARBAGE" - Coco as a kid walking in Disney, walking around with a smile on her face.
“40 something by now” 🤣🤣🤣
I love seeing the old timee pics...I think they used to call them photos
Keep the SUNSHINE coming Ms coco- LOVE YOU
LOCKDOWN in London is more bearable when listening to Coco Peru and her peals of wisdom! Thank you Coco x
Great stories. Good timing. The nation need Miss Coco more now than ever. You are doing the Lord's work Miss Peru.
So good to hear you and your stories. Love you, Miss Coco!

We made that car trip in the 70s in a station wagon from Canada! Once.
