    Anton Pieck designed the Efteling. He was an artist and made illustrations in a Dickins style. You can still buy artwork on calendars and postcards from his hand. That same style he used in the Efteling.
    Like many Dutch people, I have happy childhood memories from the Efteling.❣️

      He did only part of it.. the rest is done by other designers and artists (e.g. Ton van de Ven, Sander de Bruijn), but in the same style as Anton used to do.

    Thank you for visiting our local little park.
    The Efteling has grown organically. In 1952 it was no more than 10 fairytales a playground and a restaurant. I wont bore you with the full history of how the Efteling became the Efteling. The Efteling list somewhere between 30 and 35 attractions and places to see next to all the small thing that are not listed and needs to be discovered by the visitor. They have one major rule for planning what the do and where. Only 11% may be build up. 89% needs to return to nature. In essence the Efteling is a nature park. That is the main reason for so much nature and small wildlife in the park.
    The Efteling has no shareholders and does not need to produce profit. Most of what the make goes back into the park. They also do not use outside money to grow. The Efteling is huge. It hold a lot more ground then the park itself. At the moment there are plans to double the size of the Efteling Park. They do already have permission to expand the park to the east and west.

    As a Dutch person I love it when people that are not Dutch visit the Efteling. It’s so beautiful. Also the reason why the Efteling looks and feels so much like Disney is because Walt Disney actually came to the Efteling and took inspiration from the park. They key DigiD that Disney is sadly a lot more capitalistic and more focused on making you spend money, while the Efteling focuses a lot more on authenticity. Also all the money you spend at the park goes right back into it instead of the investors

    Every Dutch person of 70 years old and younger has been to the Efteling multiple times. I remember school trips where you were so happy you were going to the Efteling, first only the old fairytale forest and I the 80's they built the Python, the first real roller coaster in the Netherlands by Vekoma tja became a really good Rollercoaster builder worldwide.
    Happy memories I now share with my kids now that I'm 50.

    Efteling is my second most favorite theme park in the world after Disneyland. It’s just an absolute treasure, standing toe to toe with Disneyland for pure charm and emotional power. It is also so heartwarming how much the Dutch love Efteling and know that it is a jewel to show off. A huge piece of my heart belongs to Efteling after my visit from the United States last summer.

      Having been to both each have their pro's and con's... But i prefer the more classic fairytale oriented thempark over the Disney one. Disney is a bit too much after visitors money imho. But tbh the Efteling is much much older then Disney (it's 72 years old) so we had generations going there. And the Efteling is besides theme park also a nature reserve.

    I’m from the Netherlands and I can honestly say; Efteling is the most beautiful, cohesive, magical park I’ve ever been to. The details, the background music everywhere, the food (which isn’t anything spectacular; but very typical Dutch)… it all just makes sense together. As a Dutchie; I’m VERY proud of having de Efteling here!
    And all the fairytales in de Efteling; we actually grew up on in The Netherlands. Guess that’s why we’re all a bit stern; we’ve learned from a very young age that fairytales don’t always have a happy ending!!!!

      Due to Holle Bolle Gijs, the sucking, talking trash bin. For some reason it just works. Nobody litters because everyone sticks their trash in their pockets to feed the speaking bins when they come across them. And on the rare occasion some one doesn't care about Gijs and drops a piece of paper, some kid will snatch it up so they can feed it to Gijs. I know because I was that 8 year old kid who ran to pick up a piece of paper :)

      The park is usually clean, but there's still a problem with cleanliness sometimes. When the weather is bad people tend to eat at the indoor restaurants and they get overcrowded really quickly which sometimes leads to circumstances where trash is just everywhere. It is still the Netherlands, not Japan.

    Efteling was (Disney Legend & head of Imagineering) Marty Sklar’s favorite non-Disney park, and for good reason. It’s big, beautiful, well maintained, and has excellent dark rides. The two sections of the park where you walk thru the forest coming across various fairy tale tableaux are unlike any other theme park lands. Just an all-around wonderful park.

  • @gunmeat1
    @gunmeat1 17 дней назад +43

    Waving to people is definitely a cultural difference. Dutch are just really direct. They wave to you if they want to and if they are in the same "zone". They dont mean to be impolite. Just see it like this : Americans say when they meet people in an exagerated way "how are you doing? " Even if the dont mean it. Dutch people will not do that so easily. Only if they really want to know it.
    And Dutch have the saying (iĺl try to translate it to English) "Just act naturally, that is allready crazy enough"
    But it's not impoliteness, they are just not used to be so extravert. Most Europeans have that.
    Btw being Dutch, i like your videos and your enthousiasm!

      Yeah thats a good explanation. It probably wouldve been worse if he did it in Denmark, since doing that up here would be like drawing attention and elevating yourself above the crowd like "Oh hey you look at me, wave at me in response to me waving at you", which in the eyes of a Dane would just be considered selfish and rude.

    • @MarcovandenHout
      @MarcovandenHout 7 дней назад +2

      As a fellow Dutchman I'd say that's true. I would wave back though, because it's in an amusement park and you can see people having fun, why not wave back and make it even better? But in normal life it would indeed raise a lot of questions, is this guy a bit crazy, does he think he knows me?? And yes, if you ask a Dutchman "How are you?", be prepared to hear his life story and how much is little toe is hurting lately. We hear it as a genuine question, not just politeness :)

    Don't forget that the American fairy tales are based on ancient European ones. Disney however took off the 'sharp' parts. We have visited a lot of parts in the US, 15, European and Japan but we think Efteling is the cosiest and nicest. And even when you count all the rides it's also one of the larger ones especially when you compare with Paris. Because you have Disney but you have to pay for the MGM's. (same in USA)

    For The Efteling, I filmed the making off, of this trackless ride. I remember the first shooting day, where they removed the first stones from the Efteling's central square. At that time it was all a big secret. I had to go there almost every week, for over a year. Sometimes I had to be there at 5 am, to film the unloading of trucks. But it was defiantly no punishment.
    For lunch I usually went to that pancake restaurant you visited. But I asked them to slow down their pancake machine a bit… I just like them a bit more cooked. And sometimes they did.
    The Efteling is amazing. It has been a long time ago, since my last (work related) visit. But their sense of theming still amazes me.

      Comparing Disneyland or MK and Efteling is a bit hard,...Disney is more pristine,...Efteling tries to make everything look more authentic and worn out. It's both immersive in their own way. There is no better in this case imho just different approach in theming. I think you can compare Animal Kingdom the best with Efteling in the sense of authentic immersiveness. :)

Now that I’m 17, most people my age go there for the adrenaline rush from rides like Baron 1898. Sure, there are probably other reasons teenagers go, but that’s the main one I see.
    For me, though, the thrill of the rides isn’t the main draw anymore. My family hasn’t had an annual pass for a few years now, and we never go on vacations there anymore. My “prime” Efteling days are kind of behind me. What I love now is the nature, the peace, and the beauty of the park. The Efteling is more about the whole experience and getting lost in its magic, especially for kids. It doesn’t have a ton of attractions, and the ones it does have aren’t super long because they’ve put so much effort into the theming. The rest of the park is like a forest with water and greenery everywhere, which I really appreciate.
    It’s a mixed experience for me these days. I still enjoy some rides, but the long wait times can be a bummer. What I love the most now is watching the little kids in my family experience the park for the first time and seeing their imaginations come to life. If the park does one thing right, it’s sparking your imagination. I’ve already had that magic moment, and now I’m off on new adventures. The Efteling will always be special to me, and I love seeing foreigners get enchanted by it. Plus, I definitely keep up with news about new attractions.

    15:22 You're welcome :) Efteling is like a cultural icon and something of a national pride to many Netherlanders and it is always fun to see people from abroad reacting to it!

      Yup, and best of all: they kept it affordable. Both the entrance fee and prices for food and souvenirs are reasonable, compared to a lot of other parks.

    I think trains are way more common in the Netherlands and therefor waving is not really a thing. Waving doesnt make you rude, nor does it make the Dutch rude. There is also a cultural diff. When Americans feel happy they express it, while Europeans can be happy without feeling the need to express it. Lov ya vid

    Went to Efteling in Feb and loved it, can't wait to go back when Danse Macabre opens.
    I really do think there is some weight in rumours that Walt visited before he opened Disneyland, especially when you compare the Enchanted Forest to the Storybook Boats and even the whole of Fantasyland.
    Its a stunning park, so glad you enjoyed it as much as we did ❤

      His main (documented) inspiration comes from "Tivoli" in Copenhagen and "Madurodam" in .......the Netherlands. It is however well known that Disney Company asked and received help from "Efteling" when designing their Paris park. It is also not like Walt and their park designers lived in an isolated bubble. So a healthy exchange of plans, designs and ideas has taken place over the years.

    These video's are the best ones to watch when you grew up with Efteling. For us it's something we got to know from a young age and visited every year. Now we even go mostly 2 times a month. Seeing people visit this amazing park for the first time is so much fun. We had the chance to visit Efteling with people that never did a few times and thats such a special experience!
    Thanks for this amazing vlog of your visit to the park.

    Seems like you had a great day! Your son being greeted as the king is so wholesome, he must've been so happy :) And it's so nice to hear you had that little interaction with the lady at Polle's Kitchen! She's absolutely right, most people from here have been to Efteling at least once in their lives and every Dutch person will always be so eager to tell you about their amazing memories there.
    Something you might like to look into is Anton Pieck, the very first designer of the Efteling and an amazing Dutch artist. He created the first ten fairytales in the fairytaleforest, back when the park was still a nature park. The park is located in a forest and as it started as a park to just take a walk in, and from time to time mysteriously discover some fairytales, taking good care of the nature has always been very important to Efteling. They even have their own landscape architects to decide on the most fitting plants for around every ride and fairytale! Anton Piecks style is still the guideline for every attraction. His use of colour, shape and detail is one of the things that make you integrate into the stories so much, it's like the buildings have already been there for thousands of years, and you just accidentally found them. But also music, everywhere you go, precisely created for every mood, makes you feel at home in the park. When Efteling started getting bigger, with more thrilling rides, the artists who designed them even worked on the rides after working hours, just for fun. They viewed upon Efteling as a "hobby that got out of hand", as their artwork, which they wanted to cherish. And you can still feel that today. They put in more work and details than is needed to get people to the park, not out of economic reasons, but out of their love for imagination.
    If you read my super long comment, you might've noticed I'm a huge Efteling nerd haha As someone who wants to study arts, the park fascinates me. And I have loved to see it fascinated you all too :)
    (Oh and by the way, as one of the other comments stated, we Efteling nerds indeed do love to answer questions about the park, so if you have any, ask away!)

    My grandparents came from the Netherlands to Utah after the war. We would always roll our Dutch pancakes also put chocolade hagelslag (usually goes on toast). My favorite Dutch treat is oliebollen, soooo good!

    Hi , it's nice to hear that you are soo satisfy about the Efteling. It was in the fifties a forrest and park for sports and swimming. In 1952 they made 10 ferrytales alive. As a kid we go there in the seventies with the bus from Den Bosch to Kaatsheuvel to visit the Spookslot, in that time a new theme. I remember as a kid that the python few years later was build and we go there with friends very often. Now I am 59 and visit it monthly. Please come back in winter efteling, it's like in the Charles Dickens movies. Thanks for the nice video.

    The Efteling just puts so much effort into the dressing of the rides, that it's not just a ride anymore , it's a experience. and the que lines are not just lines , they are a part of the attraction. ( i used to have a year pass to the park with a close friend of mine)
