I’m sure every local knows about the cats...
I love seeing the cats.
Cats also got big when Space Mountain/ Star Tours were made. Before, the land was farmland, so plenty of mice. However, in the last ten years, the population, I think, has went down a little, due to the Disney vet spaying them.
MorTimer Play I'm here like can I have one?
The last time I looked at the old Big Thunder BBQ it was closed for a day and one of the cats was enjoying the shade on the front counter.
And the edible tommorowland plants
I have a tip and have NEVER seen it in a video.
Its for the Finding Nemo ride in Disneyland. No one ever wants to go on it because the line is always too long. But I have never had to wait more than 20 minutes for the ride. If you go up to the castmember at the entrance, tell them that one of your riders has claustrophobia or fear of small spaces. They will direct you towards the exit and wait for another cast member. If you look to the right you see a little room. A cast member will direct you to the line (there usually is none) and once it is your turn you can go it. The room is fairly big and is air conditioned. There is a big tv showing everything you would see through the submarine. Its a really nice break and place to sit in a cool room and there is usually no wait. Sorry if this was a little confising. I havent been to Disney for a while but I wanted to share it
Mackenzie Abril I never knew this omg I’m going to try it next time I go since I’m claustrophobic
Does it work for Disney World
This room is for ADA accessabilirty
Thx
I already knew about this-
When you’re not a local but you know every single one of these facts....
Loop Group anytime a video is titled like this, my first reaction is “wanna bet”
Lol that soo me through the whole video
princesspie7 SAME!!! Especially when it’s titled something like “Disney Secrets You Never Knew” or anything that assumes you don’t know what they are going to tell you
Yo same
Same
One little addition to the Morse code story that I heard when I was a cast member back in the day is that when that little secret was first put in it wasn't actually the opening day speech, it was something rude or vulgar (they didn't tell me what it initially said). Well, Lillian Disney understood Morse code and called the guy out and had it fixed!
I've ridden in the Lilly Belle several times when it was a Club 33 exclusive. Members were pretty upset when Club 33 rates went up and their accessibility to the Lilly Belle was removed. For a long time, the actual kimono given to Walt and Lillian by emperor Hirohito was in this car. Although it was never stolen, management realized it was just a matter of time until it was so the kimono was removed and replaced with a duplicate. Eventually this decision proved right as guests tampered with it too much and eventually it was removed. One other item that used to be found in the Lilly Belle was a signature book of everyone who rode in the car. It wasn't uncommon to find a celebrities signature in there. Sadly this book disappears around 2015 so once again, management's concerns about theft proved right.
Also, fun fact, when Disneyland first opened one clever fellow decided to set the morse code to say dirty things. Unknown to him Lillian Disney understood morse code and knew exactly what it was saying. Walt had it changed.
I'm not a local, but I already know most of these, thanks to Justin Scarred.
He’s the best
Howard Wiggins same lmao😂
SAMEEE
Howard Wiggins I just finished watching one of his videos
As a local I did know most of these facts 😊 the cats like to come out at night and meet everyone, probably the best time to spot them. They also have their own clinic to help take care of the cats.
No clinic :) I used to worked there night shift
My wife and I actually got ride in the lily bell FREE and signed the guest BOOK
How? Why?
I- its Lilly Belle, not lily bell
I got to ride it too and also signed the book.
How? I would love to!
misfitrockabilly probably for a birthday or honeymoon. The cast members normally spoil those on their special days, whether that is skipping them in line, or special events that would normally cost money
I love when y'all throw in Disneyland stuff! I know one day I'll be there and I'll get to go back and watch all the videos!!
You never been to Disneyland?!
Albert Flores im 18 and ive never been. some of our parents just never brought us as kids!
I just went on my first Disney trip at 37!
Courtney, have you gone to Disneyland yet? Don’t miss out on opportunities because you never know.
We have an upcoming trip in May and the excitement is really building up. Going to be an emotional trip. Taking grandma, who hasn't been since 1975 and our newborn daughter.
Erica, life with my angels McIver Sounds like it’ll be an amazing time! I hope the castle will be finished by then.
ReturnoftheRudi it is finished but u can’t walk through it to fantasyland sadly they haven’t opened it yet, but you can still see it, and it’s so beautiful the colors are vibrant! 😍
@@chinayala05 wait the castle was closed? im going to disneyland for the first time in years next week and I just wanna know
zeph yea, they were re painting it, but by the time galaxy’s edge opens it should be all done!
The castle is stunning! Saw it last night and was not disappointed.
I really hope Sorceror's Workshop gets an upgrade. Only 2/3 of the rooms are accessible now (there used to be Ursula's Karaoke, but it closed) and the interactive experiences (particularly the character match in the library) are begging for a revamp with newer tech.
Ashkowski I miss the toy story xylatrope
I just went a couple week ago and it definitely hasn't changed lol. the character match is so outdated, and 3 of the stations are completely broken and covered. It did work, but its extremely old tech
Small thing most people seem to not know about the evil queen above Snow White's Adventures. She doesn't just appear every 20-30 seconds like DFB is saying. Her appearance is actually triggered when someone touches the bronze apple on top of the spellbook just outside the entrance.
When you touch it you will hear the evil queen cackle while the curtains are opening above you.
Edit your: Obviously like most of the Disney triggerables, like the bamboo pole in the Indiana ride, it doesn't work every single time because it needs time to reset and to keep the effect actually cool. If it has been triggered recently enough it won't go. But this one resets pretty quickly though between 10-20 seconds I think.
Also it will also trigger from touching the spellbook under the apple, basically any part that is the same brass piece.
Wolf Wintemute No, she appears on a timer, but if you touch the Golden Apple/Cackling Apple, you will hear the Queen’s evil laughter!
I've been to "Disney Jail" one time. Back when I went to grad night in 1991, I was left behind when I missed my bus. It was backstage in the old admin building where the south park character costuming is. Nothing special, but when my mom got the call from Disneyland Security, she nearly had a heart attack. Now, any major incidents are handled by APD from their onsite precinct. Yes, Anaheim Police Department has a precinct in Disneyland
Bryan Eisenhart grad nights are such an issue. Last year some kid took drugs, punched a cast member then photo the police in the esplanade. I saw it go down. He was running around taking swings at people and the cast members seemed annoyed. It took away from my trip, that’s for sure
Grad Nights are rough on Disneyland in general. While I'm sure it's great fun to go if you're a graduating teen living in the area, I personally prefer to avoid all amusement parks whenever large groups of grads will be there. Some of my favorite rides are trashed by the celebrating kids, probably most notable in the Haunted Mansion dealing with an alarmingly high rate of food/spit ending up on the glass in front of the dining room party scene. Also, I've heard from a cast member that gum being stuck on Disney surfaces is the absolute worst on Grad Night weeks. Luckily, Disney is very helpful regarding sharing which nights and weeks will be hit hard by those grads, and have always helped us pick times to go well after those wild nights are over (or before they hit that year.)
I had my fun at Disneyland on grad night. Not with drugs I got together with a girl I knew since 1st grade instead. Disneyland should end grad nights in my opinion. The Parks are too crowded nowadays.
Grad Night at Disneyland was the worst!!! If you're a true Disney fanatic don't expect any "magic" or cast members to give you that special service we all come to expect. None of the cast members give a damn about the grads. You can tell on their faces that all they want to do is get their paycheck for the night and go home. They do just the bare minimum because lets face it, the grads are not there for all the extra magic and over the top guest service. Most rides are not even running and there's sooooooo many immature, annoying kids running around trying to get into trouble. It's like their one night to act a fool and childish before college or something. Then there's the ones that want to just dance and grind on strangers and hook up with other kids from other schools. Ughhh years later and I still regret going! I honestly could of had a better experiencing going by myself the very next day.
Lol love how my thread changed from being about the validity of "disney jail" to how bad grade nights have become. I used to work there for a few years and loved doing grad nights. So many schools have been banned permanently that soon, only the Christian schools might be left allowed to attend. Yes, we were told we could be harder on the kids, but again, these kids were violated a lot of rules. During grad night, smoking is banned for EVERYBODY (chaperones included) but we would constantly be smelling smoke. I found an empty Hennessey whiskey bottle in a trash can at Coke Corner not ten minutes after a GN started. Now, before you pass blame on the day guests, those cans get a "final dump" when the park is empty between events, so it was a grad. I've had to sweep up used condoms over by Cafe Orleans. Moral of the story, Walt started Grad night as a reward for an achievement and milestone in young people's lives and today's kids are ruining it. Anybody realize there IS a dress code for grad night? Suits and ties for men, evening dresses for women. Rarely is it ever enforced anymore.
I really dig your voice... it's intriguing, chill and charming at the same time
The first time i went to Disney when I was 6, my parents and i were getting on the railroad and my parents were a little upset because i has just screamed and sobbed my entire way through pirates. As we were waiting in line a cast member came up and asked if we would like to ride in the caboose. There were a couple other families there with us. It was so amazing and I will never ever forget. I wish I could thank that cast member properly know that I’m older. I had no idea it was such a special thing until recently
The drawing class is actually still available in florida at the art of animation resort. They only do it a few times a day at certain times but you can still visit there and take the class even if you're not staying at that resort. The lady that did the class I went to was so nice. We were late by a few minutes and when the video was over she restarted it for us to follow along again.
Build a bear
Porch potatoes
Buddy pass
Patrick
Figment
Those are the ones I didn't know and I am a regular.
You forgot the secret code that is a part of Indiana Jones queue. When Indiana Jones first opened they gave out cards so you could crack the codes that are on the walls of the queue. I still have my card!
Mary Ann Sawyer they were apparently giving them out today for the queue tour. I saw a few posts about them on Instagram.
Mary Ann Sawyer still have my card too.
The code can be cracked without a card. It is pictographically similar to the English alphabet with I being replaced with a pictogram of an eye.
Guardians of the galaxy has the only hidden Minnie in the entire resort, have you seen it AJ???
Indiana Jones has one too :)
Coolguy365es where
I laughed out loud when you talked about Disney Jail. As a kid who grew up in Fullerton and went to Disney at least once a week in high school- we feared Disney Jail! Everyone had a friend or friend of a friend who’d been there!
Hi AJ, love your videos as I always learn so much! I'm a huge Disney fan though have only visited WDW once. I live in the UK so you can imagine its quite expensive to get there but would love to visit again in the future. Until then i'll watch you videos and live vicariously through them! Your warm delivery and enthusiasm is contagious, thank you so much!
One secret the locals know is how to pronounce “Zocalo”.
Lol 199 days till Disney second time
Yep! It’s pronounced SOH-kah-loh!
Some people pronounce it Zo-Kaa-low and it’s soh-ka-lo
Actually, you are correct that the Z makes an 'S' sound but when a Spanish word ends in a vowel and there is no accute accent (á, é, ó, etc.) then the second-to-last vowel in the word gets the stress. So-CAA-lo, not SO-ca-lo. Just letting my geek flag fly
I really like the drawing class at DCA, didn't know they used to have it at Disney World, they should have kept it. It makes a really great souvenir that is totally free.
Loved your video AJ. Maybe lots of Disneyland locals know these things, but as a non-local, I really enjoyed hearing these things. Thank you!
AJ! Your tip about the buddy pass just saved me tons of time as a single rider on midway mania! I was surprised I hadn’t heard of it yet. I live in so cal and pretty much grew up in Disneyland. Still going lots at 26. Had a spontaneous solo trip the day after seeing this video. Great timing. Thank you so much! 😊
The Animation Academy is amazing! They helped me find a hidden talent and opened up a whole new world for me.
Loved this video. Thanks for making it. Great fun facts.
Ballast Point majority took over Ridemakerz. Black Tap (soon to come) took over majority of Build a Bear.
I’m going to Disneyland for the first time in June I’m so excited also your videos make me so happy disney always makes me smile
Sophia Earley how was it?
Thank you for the video! After years of gobbling Disneyland facts, I was almost certain that not many secrets in a video like this would "surprise" me anymore; but there were quite a few unique Disney secrets in this video I'd never heard or seen anyone touch on before. So informative!
I need to get back to Disneyland soon. Its one of my home parks and I knew all of these except the walkthrough and Jingles. This was such a good video!
I wouldn’t say most locals don’t know about these ‘secrets’, but it’s more like a beginner’s guide to Disney secrets. :)
Thank you for doing another Disneyland topic!
Love your videos !!!
Hey AJ! I love your videos! Could you please do the difference in wait times between Disneyland and Disney World if you haven't already?
I went up to the train station right when they started doing the refurb of the train for Galaxy's Edge and the Lilly Belle was sitting there. I'm crying cause it was on my bucket list just to see this major part of Disney history. I am walking up to this car and a CM conductor walks up to me and asks "Would you like to go in it?"
Love when you feature Disneyland!!
Hey DFB I’m a current CM at the Disneyland resort and work on the trains. The lillybelle is also used by family and friends of the conductors and engineers not just for VIP guests.
I have to smile, you made a shout out to the animators studio, my now husband worked with a cast member and at the end of learning to draw Jack they had a special proposal set up. Wonderful memories and a beautiful building to spend time in
Is it me or sleeping beauty castle at Disneyland Paris looks more like the one in the movie rather than the one in California? Love them either way!! ❤️ 🐭 😁
Another one is that if you’re lucky, in the steam boat, you can go up to the captains quarters and even steer the boat. My husband and I were there the other day and bumped into the cast member going up the stairs of the boat and she asked us if we would like to go up and steer the boat. She let us do the bells and whistles and gave us a certificate at the end! It was such a fun experience!
Another tip in Guardians of the Galaxy, when going in the Collectors room where rocket explains how the ride goes, in the shelves across the doors there is a hidden Mickey figure in one room and the other is a Minnie figure 💛
Will be there in 12 days! So excited!
Have always LOVED doing the Sleeping Beauty Walkthrough (love the virtual idea)
thank you for mentioning the Animation Building! Anyone there should ask a cast member some questions about special things hidden in the sorcerers workshop! like roy and walt written on the wall and the hero/villain/ and mentor walls!
thanks for this, I have been going on and off (more off as an adult) and when I eventually get to disney world I am using DFB videos as my guide
Sleeping beauty’s castle in Paris is also a walkthrough and has a dragon you can visit under the castle
I got engaged outside the dragon's lair!!!
I’m going next month! So excited
Great video next visit I will defiantly keep a look out for all these secrets ! One secret that I saw was Mrs. Potts and Chip at the end of Tarzan's Treehouse which was super cool to see.
I always look for figment in the creature crates on GOTG, he's one of my favourite Easter eggs at DCA ❤️
Disney changed the signs for lost people in the park when someone went to downtown because she lost track of her parents in the 50s. The signs said "lost parents report to security at city hall" instead of "lost children". This was a decision that was brought to light when we went and reported her parents lost because she demanded that she doesn't lost because she was right there. The signs have been changed back now but stayed for quite a while.
Love ur voice honestly, better than most other vid like these❤❤
Thank you, love learning new things....especially about doritos...one of my favs mmmmm
I actually knew most of these aside from the buddy passes, castle walkthrough, roastie toasties, and the porch potatoes. I’ve never been to DisneyLand, only Disney World because I live in Florida, but I’m a massive Disney fan and it’s always fun to learn new facts!
I've had year round pases for Disneyland for close to twenty years and I didn't know most of these things. Thank you for sharing.
Yes a DISNEYLAND video!!!😋
I love the cat you showed in the video at 7:53. It’s over in DCA by grizzly River Rapids. Petted that little friends just last week
Great video!
It can be kinda strange for someone very familiar with Magic Kingdom in Florida to visit Disneyland Park for the first time. Main Street is quite similar, though that castle in the background is a little off... You feel almost at home, but the farther you go into the park, the more different it becomes. While having a great time, in the back of your mind it's a little creepy, until your subconscious finally catches on that you really are in a different place!
Love the videos!
Great video!!!
I'll get over to Disneyland one of these days !! and when I do, AJ and the DFB team will have me feeling very, very prepared !!
Very good and Have a Great Disney Day Smiles.
I sure miss Disneyland. I want to get back there and make more Disneyland videos. You have a great voice for your video. I did get to go on the Lilly Belle, it was a great experience. Thanks for your video.
1. I love your voice! And 2. I never knew about the Buddy pass or the Figment one at Disney World.. Thanks for the video
Thank you!
I’m not even a local but I knew almost all of them! Great video though! 💙
11:00 My wife was able to get a picture with Mary Poppins sitting on Jingles and sit on the horse next to her during the ride. So lucky that day!
Thank you for Disneyland tid bits- my daughter is going to soon be a DCP alumini starting in the fall 🥰 in California
When we were there a few months ago, one of the cast members told us the horse behind jingles with the gold tooth was actually Walt's favorite.
Wow. I'm a huge fan of Disneyland history and have been going to park for 50 years and even I didn't know about the Leprechaun in Adventureland. I'll definitely have to check it out next trip!
I've been watching DFB videos all day and now I'm planning my next Disney trip from quarentine
Looking forward to watching this 😱
Great video! I knew about all of them except for the pirate bear at Ballast Point. I'll keep an eye out for him next time!
Great job!
You probably hear this all the time but you do a "great job!!!"... I just wanedt to take the time to thank you for your videos!
I went in thinking i'd know all the secrets, but all but 2 were new to me! Can't wait to search for these on my next day in the parks!
So many cool facts I didn’t know about!
Lol. Thhough i just love watching your videos! - for this one - i have to say that ALOT of us locals have known about these sweet secrets for quite some time. Even before RUclips was even a thing. But good for you for making this a magical secret seeker for many newcomers.
My excitement goes through the roof when you guys do Disneyland!!
Can’t go wrong with a sculpin IPA from ballast! So bomb
Aaaah! I just got back from Disneyland! I already miss the magic :(
Just a fun FYI, Harold is not a yeti. He is an abominable snow man.
I mentioned that to my nephew who visited with his wife and kids a couple weeks ago. He said, “the sign out from calls him a yeti”. Didn’t know how to counter that.
He is described as both actually but typically Harold the Yeti. 🙂
Its the same thing. Yeti is also probly easier for kids to say.
In magic kingdom right now from the uk
Appreciate this video, being on the West Coast Disneyland is a much more viable option, and while I am in no ways one who makes a yearly pilgrimage there, when I do go I do like to discovery new things whether it's actual new things or new to me things. So much appreciation for this. I remember when my wife and I stumbled across the castle walkthrough we were both like "Did you just install this? How long has this been here?"
Cool vid even I didn’t know some of these secrets!
I remember the evil queen window from my childhood in line for Peter Pan, it’s one of my most vivid memories from then haha
love this
I’m a local. There are some I did know, and some I didn’t know. One of my favorite things to do while entering the park is look for all the cats. めちゃかわいい!
My daughter and I learned a lot when we took the omnibus from the main entrance to the castle...sit by yhe driver to get some cool facts! Like, there are still orange trees from the original grove that still bear fruit! I believe he said the fruit is donated...?
The rocket man roastie is my absolute favorite
I'm watching so many Disneyland/Disney World secret videos so when/if I go again I will be able to see all of them
As a local I knew all of these except for the split light bulb. You forgot about the half basketball court in the matterhorn most people dont know about this or club 33
My family and I had the privilege of riding on the Lillybelle! Had to be there as soon as the park opened and wait for the Main Street station to open. Limited number of people able to sit so it is super important to get there first if there is a group of you.
i sat on jingles once. i got rlly excited lol
The animation studio area is also really great if you have sensory sensitive people who need a quiet break area.
i’m local, i am a disneyland addict and love disneyland, and i knew all of these ;)
I have been going to Disneyland since the 1960's and didn't know some of those. Cool.
I’m early!! Omg hi aj I love your vids!
Disneyland Churros , why are they so good !
I didn't even know the name of the cute little popcorn turner dolls are called until you told us that they are called Roastie Toasties. I saw them before and they are cute and entertaining to watch while you get your popcorn.
Seeing the Porch Potato bit actually made me kind of sad. I remember going to Disneyland with my mother - even before she had mobility issues she had problems with asthma and would have to sit and rest for a bit now and then. She always loved sitting on porch in the middle of main street but rarely got a chance to do it because it always seemed like there was someone who would just sit there all morning.
