WHAT IS A DISNEY BUBBLE?!?

- I don’t think you can actually POP a Disney bubble, and if you do I think it’s grounds for a ban. Either way, they used the Disney soapy water and bubble want to blow it, they can make the rules.
Has the comparison gone too far at this point?

One of the reasons it was a terrible idea to get rid of Disney's Magical Express is that that effectively extended the WDW bubble all the way to Orlando International Airport. And, in a small way, to before you even got on the plane at your departure airport. You'd put those yellow tags on your bags and know that you were checking them through to your hotel room on property.
I think the most brilliant little touch was that when you got to the Magical Express station at the airport, you could check in by scanning a MagicBand, like you were getting on a ride. Part of the message was that you were in the Mouse's hands now. Even if it was really a pretty ordinary coach ride from there on, you knew you'd already arrived in some sense.
Agreed, it existed on my families first trip, but we hit Universal first for a couple days so missed the trip there. I was looking forward to riding it both ways on our next trip, but it was gone. I feel like they would have made the money from the bus back on the extra night I'd have stayed. As it is I stay at a cheaper hotel first night to avoid spending Disney prices just to sleep after a flight.
Exactly 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 getting rid of the magic express was a horrible idea and one of the reasons I haven’t gone back to Disney. It was one of my favorite perks to going
God is good
We used to say “we always stay inside the purple signs” at WDW. That was our bubble.
I didn’t properly respect the Disney bubble and post Disney depression until returning home from Florida last year. It was more like a horrible drug withdrawal. I felt DREADFUL for months.
I went on holiday and came home a fanatical addict. Now I spend my spare time booking fictional holidays on the Disney site trying to calculate when I can afford to return.
The last time I went to The Magic Kingdom (which was admittedly a lifetime ago) I was fine with the idea of leaving the park until we were on the ferry headed back to the car, in the lagoon, at night, looking back at Main Street and the Cinderella Castle with "When you Wish Upon a Star" playing on the speakers of the boat. I wanted to literally scream, "Take me back!!!"
This is hilarious 😂 because I can relate
When I was a cast member in Anaheim during training they talked a lot about the sequencing from the big sign to the parking lot through the turnstiles into the foyer and then through the tunnels into Main Street. (No CA back then). But also about things like when people would ask if there were actual sit down restaurants - especially Europeans who wanted a real meal - plug the ability to take the monorail out to the hotel and eat there and then monorail back. It kept the money in-house but also the guests were THRILLED that it was so simple because they figured it was a total long shot they would actually get to eat a meal with actual metal forks and so forth.
Whenever I visit, I take the bubble concept a little further and avoid social media and the news while I’m in the “bubble”. On solo trips, I’ll read a Disney related book on my phone while waiting in line.
It makes a much more relaxing vacation.
...and then Genie totally ruined that experience. Being tethered to a phone for virtual queues, ticketing, and restaurant reservations completely ruins the experience, at least for me. Pre-covid, I used to leave my phone at the hotel; but that's pretty much an impossibility now. The virtual bubble doesn't even seem to be a consideration now.
Your continual use of the Space Mountain queue music makes me happy others appreciate that cosmic ethereal symphony.
When I was a child, my father had to go to Disneyland for business. We lived in Los Angeles county, so the park wasn't far away. Now, I was only eight or nine, and had zero interest on the why and how any business would be conducted at Disneyland, so I don't know the particulars and Dad is gone now, so there is no one to ask. In my child brain, I had an anxiety attack because I wasn't getting to go to Disneyland. I made my dad promise me that we would go to Disneyland in the future. And we did, as a family, every year, until my mid teen age time hit and I would go with my friends or on dates. Many years later in life, when my Dad hit his eighties, I found out how seriously he took his Disneyland pledge to me. He asked me, in an almost formal way, if I would release him from his Disneyland promise that he made all those years ago. This surprised me, as I didn't think he would even remember it. Of course, I agreed. About six years later, my father had a stroke and passed. It now brings tears to my eyes that my father carried that promise and me in his heart for all those years.
Hong Kong chose that bay because of the mountains, so that the castle has a beautiful backdrop, giving that secluded castle in the forest vibe. that's why people say Hong Kong has the best location and backdrop for a castle!!
I'm not sure that Disney understands the value of the bubble as much these days. If they did, they never would have gotten rid of the Magical Express which basically put everybody into the Disney ecosystem as soon as they landed at the airport.
When I was a kid, I always ask when we’re going to Florida? But the funny thing is when we land it in Florida I’d still be asking when we’re gonna get to Florida? Because of my childish head, Disney was Florida.
Tokyo Disney's transportation is my favorite of all the resorts. The monorail is incredibly efficient and it's so easy to maneuver. Not to mention, the monorail is absolutely superior in theme. It makes the WDW monorails look like an ancient relic. I think some hotels are provide bus transportation to and from the part, namely official ones and I guess some good neighbor hotels. Ikispiari (basically Downtown Disney) is part of Maihama station so visiting there is super easy to get to.
MONORAIL MONORAIL MONORAIL
Disagree WDW has many more options
yesss just got back from tdr and had the best time ever!! love the mickey handles in the monorail too
Even though Disney drives me crazy a lot of the time, your videos re ignite in me how much I still love them.
The bubble started at the airport. The oh so important transportation Disney used to offer for free from the airport to their Disney hotel. Getting rid of this might be one of the dumbest business moves ever!
I'd love a sequel to this!
For decades I would go to the Disney World, to be included in that sheltered Disney bubble. Occasionally, I would slip thru that Disney bubble, to take that day trip to Universal Studios, and then rush right back to Disney. As Universal Studios continued to blossom, I would occasionally slip into the Universal Studios bubble, for a night, and again rush back to the Disney bubble. With the approaching Epic Universe property, that Disney bubble may start experiencing large gapping holes. I will still enjoy that Disney bubble, but I may not be in that much of a hurry to get back, after being absorbed into the Universal Studios bubble.
The bubble is a great concept and exec. The problem is the crowds angry and rude employees as well as poor maintenance of rides and transportation I feel trapped in an expensive nightmare.
The fact I was watching an OffHand Disney video
To be fair, the Tomorrowland Train Station is right by Autopia so the car sounds of Harbor Blvd fit pretty well imo.
Never really thought about this! It definitely was a great move for them to craft the landscape like this.
My family made it a tradition to go to the Denny’s across the street once we left the park at night. Made it a part of the experience, and in a way brought some of the magic outside the park
And here I was hoping I'd learn about a special soup solution they used.
How about the Disneyland "CONE." It was a agreement between Disney and the city of Anaheim on height restrictions on buildings depending how close or far they are to Disneyland. Another fun watch, great humor. BBTPM
I just went to Tokyo DisneySea for the first time on Sunday, it was really weird being able to look outside a Disney park and see the ocean
The steps to get to MK was even worse when the security bag check used to be at the park entrance. So if you brought something you couldn’t bring in and needed to bring it back to your car, you’d have, gone a tram, rode a monorail, got told to turn around, rode the monorail, then the tram, then walked to your car, back on the tram, and back on the monorail to wait at bay check once more
The ride thru dead pixels are my favorite reoccurring character
I just got back from Disney world yesterday. I and my husband accidentally snuck into an after hours event at Epcot and rode Guardians and Frozen with almost no wait for free. ❤
Living with the Land related eh? IDK if he can top the Disney Dan video that just came out….
Unless he was there the whole time just out of frame 😜
love seeing these type videos on Disney.. They did such an amazing thing in Orlando when they first started!
So Dyln you are in good company talking about the "Disney bubble". When I worked at Disneyland in the 70's Ray Bradbury came to the resterant I worked at called the Plaza Pavillion. He told me that he has watched it at the tunnels entering the park...he said people changed as soon as they came in..he told me you could see it on peoples faces..
To me that berm and tunnel type entrance is one of the things missing from DCA...it sucks by comparison to me..
Anyway...thank you for your work..hope to meet you one day
Your informative videos are your best work Dallin. Another great video
Learned something new today. For years I had wondered if the room was actually stretching
Long live the Eisner/Wells era of Disney
Speaking of Disney Bubbles, at 6:07 into this episode is that a Hidden Cloud Mickey keeping an eye on a burn to keep Gov. R.D.S. out of sight?
Jim in N.Y.
Great video!
I took my kids to Disneyland in Anaheim last year. I hadn't been there in about 15 years. It was like taking my kids into my own childhood. There's definitely a bubble.
As much as the bubble is nice, it is occasionally cool to see glimpses through it into the behind the scenes stuff. Sure it's all stuff they'd rather keep anyone from seeing but to me that's part of the magic seeing how things are done.
I got a Disney ad before watching this.
Shanghai is like Paris. Surrounded by fields with a train station in the middle.
When I went to Star Wars Celebration in 2015, I stayed at an Extended Stay America (IIRC) north of Katella and east of Harbor. Depending on the day and my energy level I sometimes took the Anaheim Resort Transit to the convention center, with the necessary transfer outside Disneyland. Even deeply involved in Star Wars all weekend, every time I found myself waiting for a bus listing to that music, I was drawn into the Disney Bubble and wanted to go to the parks.
Fun video! It really is one of the aspects of the parks that makes them truly magical.
and then you have walt disney studios, where if you ride the parachute drops you can just check out how the construction of the lagoon and arendelle is going, and past that, how the various townships in marne-la-vallée are faring lmao
3:18 man, I WISH that was the worst I've seen on Harbor.
lol the fact that hong kong disneyland is right next to a quarantine camp
There are also Little things that make a difference. Disney had power lines buried so you won't see them from the park. There IS a clever one in Florida that's a hidden Mickey. The blues/greens they paint (Go away) you did a video on that one. Plus the "smells"
We all want to feel safe and protected from the harsher aspects of life. It's understandable why the 'bubble' has appeal.
I can't wait for the Living with the Land video! It's my favourite ride!
The Tomorrowland Station at Disneyland is right next to Autopia. How you are able to hear even the loudest motorcycle over all that is curious. I’ve been at that station on the train hundreds of times throughout my life and have never heard outside traffic over all the commotion of Autopia.
More international parks discussions!
You are one of the channels that inspire me to bust out the ole Premier and edit me a video. Cheers to well over 300 videos sir! I remember back in 2018, I had a job I'd have help older folks learn how to reset their passwords on their phones and get into apps (like youtube) whenever I'd teach someone about youtube YOUR CHANNEL @Offhand Disney was the first channel I'd introduce these folks to. It would always hit right with that demographic. A perfect segway into what RUclips is all about by a usage example of the app on a smart phone ;-) I bet you didn't know you were part of making magical experiences extend beyond the parks!
1:42 Walt’s cigarillo magically disappeared again
Took our trip at the beginning of June for the first time in 4 years and the bubble is still strong at Disney world. Not only the sight lines and the massive size of the property but it’s the way people act too! From the cast members to the vacationers absolutely everyone is so nice and happy to be there (there’ll always be a few rude people but hey! In this heat? I get it) however the landscaping went a little bit down hill- so curated they cut down some trees and shrubs that did sight line work. Mild critique but
Hey Dallin! The mummy was back when we were there on the 12th.
I love both parks for very different reasons. WDW is a bubble that takes me completely out of the real world. But I also believe that the use case for WDW is about 5%. Disneyland, on the other hand, is a bubble that is better suited to 95% of the time because the bubble almost extends a bit to the surrounding areas. Disneyland is so easy to get to that it feels like something you can do spontaneously (especially if you’re a local). Because of this, I almost feel like I have a sense of ownership with the park because it’s essentially “in my backyard”. It’s so accessible and often doesn’t have to be this big ordeal.
While at WDW, I often don’t mind driving through everything, parking the car, walking to transportation, walking some more, and then entering the park because I am on vacation. However, this would quickly get on my nerves if I were a local in Orlando.
Bubbles exist in both but very different bubbles. I think they’re both successful bubbles considering both resorts are working with what they’ve got to the best of their abilities.
The Disney Bubble is my favorite place to be. 💜
I saw port Orleans in there! My wife and I stayed their on our honeymoon
This is Awesome Dallin and I have a question I haven't heard Walts Recording on here at the beginning of your films for awhile I Believe we should have that back where we hear Walt say to all those who come to this Happy Place Welcome can you add that back again please? Thank you Brian
I was just at Disneyland and the mummy was back at the Haunted Mansion!
Can you do a video on the history of the Chicken of the Sea pirate ship resturant in Fantasyland? It was HUGE and in a lake where dumbo is today. It even had a waterfall with skull rock. I can't believe I haven't heard of it until now. I would love to know more about it. The area looks like it was gorgeous!
You know what pops a Disney bubble? Demonstrating cast members on Main Street! (Every other day at Disneyland Paris.)
Hey! Great video!
Man, I hope you get to go to Paris and Tokyo some day!
I can't conscience the cost of staying on property on my net WDW trip, but I know I'm gonna miss the Disney bubble!
Still hyped for w/e Dallin-verse moments next😁
4:59 As I knew, they wanted more. They Just stop because of the journalists that found Out that was Disney buying.
Sorry if It has some gramatic errors, i'm not from a country that speaks english
One thing you didn’t mention about the bubble is the feeling of safety. When I was at WDW in April (my first time since 1982!), I was really nervous about being in Florida. But inside the Disney Bubble I felt safe and comfortable, knowing Disney’s policies on inclusion and diversity. I think that’s a huge benefit of the bubble!
Now, I get, but back then why were you afraid of Florida?
@@LARKXHIN Well, the rhetoric had gotten bad, the legislation was moving, some regulations had already gone into effect….April wasn’t as bad as now, but it was still pretty bad. And I had no idea how the regular people I met would be. But in the Disney bubble, absolutely none of that mattered, and I felt safe as houses.
You spend too much time in social media, instead of reality. Floridians are very friendly and tolerant of others and it's a heck of a lot safer there than California.
@@kettd007 I mean, I’m directly being targeted by Florida’s current legislation and state government. The Floridians I met were lovely, but it’s a dangerous state for me.
Excellent point! I also felt a certain amount of (different kind) safety when we were there in July 2020.
Disney world just seems so different to Disneyland idk maybe because I’m a Florida native 😭 I can’t imagine driving to a parking lot to go to Magic Kingdom and seeing a random chain restaurant opposite it
Im one of thise history nerds that like to see how the sausage is made, so this was a really interesting for me.
I do widh more parks would try to emulate the bubble Disney does more. There's only two I've been to that, thanks to their location, at least try and that's Dollywood in Tennessee (for the most part the park sits in woods between and around the hills whose valley it rests inside, with the only outside world views being the access roads and the cabins built atop the neighboring mountains) and Silver Dollar City in Missouri (the entire park sits atop a mountain with trees pretty much everywhere and the only immersion breaking you get is atop coasters like Wildfire where you can see the distant neighboring lake and the homes built along it or from atop the drop tower ride where you can see the backlots of the park).
Once you pop you can't stop.
seeing the “outside world” while in DCA, especially the paradise pier section, is a huge negative since day one
Stepping into Disney SH always feels a bit off for some reason. Like I’m in Disney in theory but it feels a shell of Disney. I couldn’t put my finger on what it was but I think what you said was definitely one of the reasons.
Y'know even if its entirely to keep patrons on the property for their entire stay, Disney's infrastructure is ironically a really good example for a very efficient town transit, perhaps way more efficient than the mans own design for a legitimate town. It prioritizes options, all paths lead to key areas within the structure, and the transit is consistent enough to be understandable and reliable. The biggest issues with public transit is its understand-ability and reliability, you need to be sure that you're getting on the right bus, and its taking you to the right place, and its going to actually be there on time. When all those conditions are met, public transit actually massively edges out cars, but Disney also lets you walk, it lets you drive, and none of those options are eating at each other the way stroads and badly designed bike paths do.
and enter the world of yesterday, but pay the price of tomorrow.
While Disneyland Paris has its bubble, WDS has some major bubble problems!!!
bubble go brr
I’ve been to Shanghai Disneyland twice as well as worked on a vekoma motocoaster for that park. It’s the LEAST “Disney” of any park in the world. It’s the least immersive park in the company and the fact that the company called it a “Disneyland” without ANY of the attractions, save for a castle… is just tragic. it’s a fun park - just a disappointment for real Disney fans. And I will say, the technology employed for pirates is pretty phenomenal, but most everything else in the park is themed skins/overlays on pre-existing flat rides and out of the box coasters.
Not sure if Tokyo Disney was planned with the bubble in mind. After all, the land was chosen by the Oriental Land Company and the Disneyland stuff was licensed from Disney. Disney doesn't own that Disneyland.
Let’s go another video
Shanghai was designed to be more open due to traditional Chinese architecture and culture.
tokyo disneysea is superior to everything (probably)
People have lives outside of Disneyland? Say it’s not so!
Pop century>
if you haven't included ihop in your disneyland bubble you're doing it all wrong
Move TV to work District and video R to work with help working ❤😂🎉😢😮😅😅
Cast members living in Central Florida refer to the whole area around the Disney parks as the Disney Bubble because the whole Central Florida area has a completely different political climate than the rest of Florida. There are significantly more queer people in this area and it seems like a lot of people living around here are also cast members. The sheer amount of people working for the same company as you living in your area creates a since of community you don't really see elsewhere
Michael Eisner sealed the bubble and made sure everyone forgot what EPCOT was supposed to be. E.P.C.O.T. was supposed to be a real city and not an amusement park. He had resorts and the other theme parks built which secured the bubble and people forgot about Walt Disney's promise of a city. He was a magician. Iger on the other hand is an idiot. What was once forgotten, the City of E.P.C.O.T., now is at the center of what could financially ruin them. All because they misrepresented the Parental Rights in Education bill.
Early gang early gang early gang
A little thin. I was really hoping you would go into the real Disney Bubble. Where politics, war and labels are set aside for one magical day. Or atleast, it used to be..
Am I wrong, or is this a complaint about Disney standing behind non-CIS people?
Lol get a life
@happymaskedguy1943 It's about a catastrophic decrease in a corporation's shareholder value. Customers are rejecting Disney's products. If you love Disney as much as I do, we all better hope they begin creating the magic they once held sole propriety over for so many decades. If they don't, another more solvent company just may.
@@happymaskedguy1943
Is that a problem?
You can be in favor of treating people with common courtesy and stand for everyone having human dignity, while not wanting to hear constant puritanical political sermons or shoving political agendas into childrens' entertainment.
And as much as I love Disney, they messed up when they decided to completely mischaracterize the Florida law and engage in a political smear campaign.
@@MichaelDavis-cy4okIf you think it’s cool to be a bigot, that’s your problem.
