People really have short memories. I can remember waiting in line about two hours for Indy in the 90’s. I can also remember waiting a really long time for star tours and the people mover. I can remember going almost all around the Matterhorn waiting over an hour. With more people comes more reasons for rides to go down. There so many reasons for it and not just because they’re broken. More people means more biologicals and things to clean up, more things on the tracks, more pressure on the WiFi systems, more slowing/stopping of rides for disabilities, more staffing needed, etc. one thing I can say is that people are less tolerant of each other and less patient about things not going as they expected or planned. I don’t go into to Disneyland for high hopes, I go for the feeling I get stepping under the bridge and seeing Main Street. I go to escape and spend time with those I love.
If only more fans had this level headed perspective.
our children have no concept of life before Fast Pass/ Max Pass/ Genie Plus
@@MishyMouseEars they really don’t. I loved waiting in line. I hated when I was introduced to fast pass system by friends. You had to race over to get the fast pass and then wait til the time to go on. Never made sense to me 😂
I remember waiting in line 2+ hours when Batman at MM opened. It was going so slow that we sat on the concrete for awhile. They really don’t know how to wait when a ride is down 10 minutes nowadays and they have cell phones. We had to find entertainment, probably truth or dare or something like it 🤣
This is a really good point.
27:19 YES! As a past set builder for community theater shows, I LOVE hearing people appreciating and LOVING this kind of work. I feel like I'm the only one that geeks out over these details and love seeing that I'm not alone.
Hey David, so according to what I read on a Spectrum News 13 blog from Orlando that was posted in December of last year, Tiana's hill is a "salt dome" which is a natural geologic formation in parts of Louisiana which is supposed to help with the story line and she bought the salt mine for the Co-Op.
I remember watching construction of the original splash mountain in the 80s and couldn't wait til it opened ❤ wouldn't it be awesome if they did a throwback commercial like the first one!
Absolutely!!!
I was at Disneyland this past Tuesday. We bought our day tickets (no passes) and our first visit since Covid. We were so disappointed. Super crowded, difficult to walk around. Plus rude cast members, this was a first for me. Everyone was happy in the past, now everyone is grumpy. Guests were also pushy and rude. I grew up at Dland and was so sad at how it feels now. I don't think I'll be back for quite a while. I was impressed with Its a Small World as all the animatronics were working! The Holiday overlay is beautiful. As a side note, I had to get beignets so went to Beignet Express. They were good but the whole place feels/looks so industrial now, there is no character to the Jazz Kitchen. Ate at Tortilla Joe's which was excellent.
I’m convinced younger people today growing up with their faces in their phones constantly, (you and I rode our bikes, cruised the mall with friends, played outside). These younger cast members, and people in general have become desensitized with rudeness because of social media, phones, etc. It’s the detriment to SOCIETY.
It's crowded! Colleges are out now and folks are free for 2 weeks! Next week will be madness with all schools out!
TBH I don’t think many people are excited about the Tiana retheme. I would have rather seen her get a new unique attraction. Maybe that’s why not much coverage/care about it?
Most folks don’t cover an attraction until it’s built.
I went to Disneyland Wednesday and Thursday last week. It was really busy. Got walked off Runaway Railroad, and lots of rides had pauses, but we had a great time!
Dave, Tiannas Bayou is supposed to be a Salt Mine, not a Mountain, it was released in the back story when they decided to change the ride
David - it was great to see you in Disneyland and California Adventure! My girls were so excited when they noticed you, I really enjoyed them realizing you are the youtube channel I watch often. I will say we had a great time 12/4-12/8 - however Saturday 12/9 was an aboslute nightmare and SOOO many people, glad we got our fun in during the week. It was sad that Cars, Indy, Rise, M&M RR, were down so frequently, it did appear to be excessive where the last day in DCA we couldn't even get on Cars unfortunately.
I have a friend who is a cast member and the bean stalk is PRACTICAL, it is going to “grow” and certain times of the day and come out from behind the attraction
I have the Believe Key and was able to get "Day Of" reservations on both Saturday and Sunday last weekend!
see that's not typical!
@@FreshBakedDisney Yup! I was actually at Knotts but was nice to know I could have gone to Disney too on the same day!
Absolutely thrilled that you do this David and yeah I’ve always been surprised that nobody does it for Walt Disney World. I mean I follow other bloggers that go around Walt Disney World and do different things but it’s surprising to me that nobody covers the new projects. It’s very interesting but I love your show I’m so happy you continue to do it and hopefully one of these days I’ll run into you in the park!
Speaking about the leaves/branches from the Adventure Land Treehouse. My like great great uncle had a warehouse that Disney stored their stuff in. And I remember him mentioning the Swiss Family Robinson Branches were the hardest thing to store and keep.
David- Please don't forget you can go up the elevators in Pixar Place Hotel even without a room key to get long shots out the north facing hallway windows of the Downtown Disney construction. :D
One of the great things about the construction nicknames.... if my back is turned to my computer screen, I still know EXACTLY what you are talking about.
I love the new Toon town. My kids are No longer little kids but we still really enjoyed it.
So glad to have FreshBaked for construction updates at Disneyland (especially with The Haunted Mansion grounds renovation starting soon!). It definitely seems that there isn't a weekly Knothole Gang at WDW.
Earl of Sandwich in Downtown Disney has been kicked around, re-located, temporarily closed and re-opened to the point of exhaustion. This business makes an honorable product, has good customer service and volume, and is a great option for someone who doesn't want to spend a fortune on lunch/dinner. Disney has shown this client very little respect and I am amazed that EoS has tolerated it as much as they have. Disney needs to give them a year of free rent residency for all the trouble they have caused them. Much respect to EoS for sticking with us and staying strong throughout their tumultuous tenure at the resort. I, as a customer/guest greatly appreciate the tenacity EoS has shown as they have been moved around and denied a place of their own. Hopefully, once construction is completed, they'll have a happy home that they can finally call their own well into the future.
I went on Sunday morning for rope drop. Disneyland was dead from 8-11. We did all the fantasyland rides even petter pan, pirates, big thunder, rise, millennium, and runaway ALL BEFORE 11am. We left at 11:30 and there were a ton of people coming into the park. I know you can jump at 11 but it was crazy how quiet it was Sunday and the amount of people coming in at 11. I feel like that’s late already lol
The frequency of the rides being temporarily closed has increased for several attractions. Some more than others. I don’t have hard data, but I believe it is because of three main factors. 1. More riders increases factors of guests interacting with attraction improperly (dropping phones, not following rules, etc), causing emergency stops which can cause major problems. 2, the attraction crews are not the same. Many of these crews are not long time employees and don’t have the feel and understand the temperament of the attaction. 3. Maintenance and repairs are not substantial enough to increase long-term reliability, but more as just enough to get back online and not permanently fix the problem compounded with the age of some attractions akin to arteries hardening from lack of use.
Just went to Beast’s Library for the first time ever last week and it was so magical!! Such a bummer that they are getting rid of it 😭
I wonder if they are trying to "hide" the mountain so to speak and just cover it in so much foliage that it looks just like the edge of a forest which can be pretty thick and obscure. I mean it would sort of make sense to try and force you to forget about the mountain concept and just be envisioning a lush/thick forest. BUT if it was supposed to be the bayou, it should be less floral and more spanish moss looking.....Another thing to remember about Magic kingdom is that Splash Mountain is set in Frontierland, quite literally next door to BTM. The huuuuge foliage overload is jarring to the desert/emptiness of BTM literally a stone throw away
I feel like a lot of people are trying to go before the day tickets are $194 starting this weekend and after the 23rd during the week for two weeks. Or it might be super crowded those weeks too, who knows?
Love your construction update vids!
Splash hill gives them the opportunity to place lighting? It would be nice to have lighting like Pandora at night. Nice lighting could be a plus.🤷🏼♂️
Racers was down for 3ish hours yesterday too. Been going down A LOT lately.
I ONLY go to Disneyland when it’s the MOST EXPENSIVE, and away from school breaks, and holidays. I’m willing to PAY for fewer crowds…….AND IT WORKS!! 😎🥂👍
It seems they are going with a slightly different look for the splashes between the parks. Similar to how the coloring of galaxies edge is different due to higher humidity and what colors and foliage would fit within that atmosphere. The model is disneyland’s, so i would expect disneylands to have the more mossy look on the top and disneyworld to have the more ivy like plants growing on it.
Thanks for the updates David! This has become my new Monday lunch break routine, to watch the construction video!
I really like your construction updates. Keep up the good work!
the change in editing for these vids have been great
What is hard about Indy being down so much was that they just had a refurb. And you would have thought that they would have used the Covid closure to go over all the rides.🤷🏼♂️
Indy will never not be down. Refurb doesn't have anything to do with its safety measures.
@Daddywiseclussy Well, it is part of it. Not just cosmetic.
@reginaldhampton3451 the safety system of the ride is the main reason for shut downs. If you drop your phone on the track, it's a shut down. If the jeep goes a bit off it's track. It's a shut down.
It's the holiday season which accounts for the majority of the crowds, but Provost Park Pass pointed out in his rant the other day that it's Genie Plus adding to the crowds swimming about the park because they are not waiting in line for attractions. It's not an exact science but it seems about right. Disney paved a road to hell with profit in mind (pardon the hyperbole).
Chickspin hill is what the top of splash mountain was called. It's from the Great movie song of the south which I have on DVD
Yes, cover the WDW Progress also. Just keep it labeled for reference as WDW or Disneyland. 8:26
@15:37 @FreshBaked!, we have concept art for the Earls if you look at the original art, and the art that's on the side of the building
WOW Those crowds are crazy! We were there Monday 12/4-Thursday 12/7 and never encountered those crowds. We pretty much walked on every ride for early entry and rope drop(didn't get to the park for early entry everyday) and did everything we wanted more than once each day. Used our LL later in the day and waited in 10-20 min lines in the morning. It was such a magical trip. We were hoping to run into you while there but sadly didn't.
FRESHBAKED is DISNEYLAND ❤❤
I am getting so nervous about the crowds. I have been to WDW at Christmas many, many times, and I've never seen crowds like Disneyland's. And all of the downed rides is scary, too.I'm starting to have a few regrets about my trip in a week. I'm trying to stay positive.
I just got back. It was crowded, but still weirdly do-able. The food lines were the worst. The ride lines were not that bad. I found it more pleasant than october.
I went to wdw for Christmas and new years and it was closed cause they hit capacity what do you mean you never see crowds like you do at Disneyland lol
I went to Disneyland on my Birthday which was also on Thanksgiving. It was crowded but very do-able, in fact one cast member said that she was surprised at how low the crowds were on that day compared to the year before.
The first concept art I saw of this makeover featured a car on top of the hill/mountain where the old tree stump had been. That made me think the stump would simply be hidden under the car with the potential of it being uncovered some day. Don't know why the car was omitted from the design. I kind of liked it.
We went last Sunday thinking it would be a little less busy but nope . Was not able to get on M&M all that day due to break downs and SW being closed all morning as well
I waited 45 minutes to 1 hour for Little Mermaid on crowded days. That’s the way the lines work. They aren’t designed to be efficient.
Yes I was there on Friday, seeing all those rides closed was wild. Was able to ride Indy in the morning and the boulder effect wasn’t working properly.
At Runaway Railway Mickeys car which usually moves along with the train was already at the end and wasn’t moving.
The crowd levels weren’t that bad honestly. Got there at rope drop and had a great time.
The closest to construction updates from WDW that I watch are the accounts Offhand Disney & Mickey Views. But even that is very few in between.
love that intro music!
Was there Friday. Tried to hit Plaza Inn for food. I have never in the 40+yrs going 2-5times/yr seen that food line so long. I always go early Dec every year. This latest made me wonder what was so different. Next day I came back to downtown Disney for dinner. Took me 1h30m to go from Disney way to the parking structure. Again, never experienced. Still wondering if there was some sort of event that I couldn’t learn about.
Last time I went on the Little Mermaid, it was about that long. I'm not sure I'd say we waited fifteen minutes, but it wasn't a long wait. Once you got inside, it was super quick.
FRESHBAKED is DISNEYLAND!
Harbor has always been backed up for us!
It's about the timing. there times in the day when it is, yes. but other times when it should not be.
My son just finished JC on Friday so maybe it’s those college students getting Headstart. I wonder how crazy I’ll be at Christmas the week of Christmas.
I've been saying it for a while that someone who's as dedicated as FreshBaked needs to do Construction updates at WDW!
Great video!! I loved the editing and the new camera (possibly??) looks great!!!
I would respectfully disagree regarding ride closures only because pre-reservation system, Tuesday-Thursday were the slow days during which the Park would perform routine maintenance on the rides with less disruption to the guest experience. I feel like they have been neglecting maintenance not only during the shut down but since then and it only makes sense that more rides are consistently breaking down. I also wonder if they do it on purpose to sell more Genie+...
Keep in mind Florida splash is much larger of a footprint. We had many scenes you did not. Ours is a double wide log. The bayou is to look less mountainous and more lush green less to no rock work visible
I'd like to offer you the perspective that maybe the crowds weren't as big but that it looked that way due to closures
I remember the ad on the radio saying they had discounted soCal tickets for Disneyland at some point, maybe those discounted tickets have a time frame set- maybe thats why there were so many people there on friday
That promotion is for tickets good from January 2 thru June 2, 2024.
Larger groups take longer to get to the park from Hotel rooms. This is from experience. There are a ton of very large groups 6+ families. December is horrible for crowds. Also, huge groups cannot decide where they are going which in turn clogs up the walkways.
I noticed that a good sign of how many Magic Keys are in attendance, go to the Toy Story Parking Lot on a Saturday at 10:30 am. If there is a huge line, there is a large Magic Key population at the park.
More big rides are consistently down. This is the “worst” than before. Maintenance.
I know I will be shot down on this...but sometimes, sometimes, I don't think the closures are breakdowns. I think it could be, could be, about crowd management.
Genuinely curious… how would closing a ride assist with crowd management? I am interested in learning more about your idea. Thanks in advance.
A closure can remove a bottle neck of waiting folks and disperse them to other rides, food purchases, shopping, and shows. 30-60-90 minutes later, the ride opens and begins to populate again. A closure removes a very large congregation of people all at once. I know when Indy is closed at rope drop sometimes, not everyone goes to Pirates (I do, but it is not automatic for some). They may go to Thunder, Haunted, Pooh...dispersing the crowd around the park.
You definitely do some of the most thorough construction updates on RUclips. I will see occasional updates on WDW News Today or Mickey Views, but only periodic or short segments.
I think the log is were the animatronics frogs will be
The mural on the WDW version of Tiana's Bayou Adventure is reflective of art styles/murals found in THE Crescent City itself. Those fans that have been paying attention to the videos about the behind the scenes preparations for the next evolution of this ride on social media accounts for the Disney Parks would have heard about this aspect of New Orleans culture being incorporated into the attraction.
YES! THANKYOU🙌 I was JUST about to post about the mural lol. Murals are EVERYWHERE and colorful and beautiful down there! 🤗 Im so excited for the Tiana ride, the old splash mtn was needing a redo for QUITE the pretty minute Lol
What about a plantation salt mine?
@@oakforestboys Why would they do that?
Your videos are alway fun to watch.
I wonder if the addition of more fake fana foliage on the top of WDW's Tiana's Bayou Adventure is to hide a lighting package. Imagine 'fireflies' covering the whole top, or even a magical lighting effect as your log goes down the drop.
I’m thinking people are just reaching winter break. ik a lot of magic keys are blocked out the two weeks of most people’s winter break, so people are getting their christmas disney fix now. id be very surprised if they adjusted the reservation system
You mentioned that you found the best camera system for what you do on your last video but you didn’t mention what brand of camera you were using you didn’t share any comments or pictures of the device. Is there anyway you could give out some details about your camera? thank you your videos are awesome.
thank you!!!
What has caused the maintenance issues? Is it a staffing issue? I mean they have all night long to maintain the rides, is that not long enough time for daily inspections and routine maintenance?
I was there Friday thru Monday and it was very busy but Sunday was super dead all rides were good less than 20 min
David, I searched RUclips "Splash Mountain Construction Disney World" and a plethora of videos came up. Including some as new as 3 days ago.
So looking forward to seeing this so soon!!
I can imagine nobody does WDW construction updates bc its such a HUGE property and takes forever to get between parks and with park hopping not being allowed until 2pm, that's been difficult as well. 4 parks, 2 waterparks. That's a lot to cover. I used to watch David's Fresh Baked WDW vids all the time. Its A LOT of content. Full time job commitment.
29:52 I don't mind the painting...it's nice. What I'm not a fan of when I first saw it was the color. I am so used to the rustic barn brown color. Plus the surrounding buildings. I hope Land does something different with their color.
You mention the Astro Orbiter's "arms" and how you couldn't see them. In Carny-speak any ride's "arms" are referred to as "sweeps."
Hey, does anyone know if they are going to have new ride vehicles on the Tianna's bayou ride?
More of a Mangrove Tree appearance. Pretty much a feature of that area of the world.
So, I think the crowds are partly due to the holidays. When I was planning my 2nd DL trip back-to-back from my birthday trip, trying to find a reservation in just November was pretty glitchy and a lot of days were blocked off because of the reservation system/a lot of people already booked. I would have no doubt it's the same in December. I wouldn't be surprised if DL upped the rate of people coming in, since they both want more people to come to the parks and a lot of people see this as "after covid" (even though covid is still a thing). When I last looked, crowds won't die down like this until Febuary. Yes, DL is always going to be crowded. However, some days and seasons are going to be better than others. Holiday season may be the best theme wise, but the worst crowd wise.
I know many people are there right now.. early vacationing and very disappointing that rides are always down… frustrating!
For the little mermaid, we waited longer in stand-by than single rider for cars! Theme park obsession does both coast and multiple theme parks construction updates ext....
I’m wondering if Magic Kingdom’s Tiana’s got a 4 month head start, because it’s just a bigger attraction with more to do. And they estimated it would take about 4 months more of work for them to be complete at around the same time.
I will continue to say that the mural could literally have been painted by kindergarteners
…and we will continue to giggle at the lack of cultural awareness that statement displays.
I feel like e ticket rides are close early in the day to push everyone to smaller rides. It’s odd just a feeling I have. And yes we didn’t renew our pass because the parks getting more and more crowded and less enjoyable for us who travel cross country
I dont think its magic keys that they are letting in. I have the so cal key (imagine i think) and I was blocked out of all December. No warning, no heads up. When I renewed it, there were days I could have gone in December but no, they took it away
Is it just me or does the “mountain” at Tiana’s seem out of scale compared to the lift hill building (HM side of the mountain) in the lower left? That building now seems huge in comparison.
Nope not abnormal on that side. We don’t all rope drop. Some of us fly in go to hotel then come over. And I believe they’re back to pre Covid levels. We felt that in November when we were there on a tues wed Thur
Yeah. 8am, on a Friday, was a breeze. Did seem unusual.
We were there this weekend, it was awful. The worst time I ever visited. It just seems Disney is way unorganized. indiana, Rise, Runaway Railway, Radiator Springs were basically closed all weekend. We noticed when one opened, one closed. Also all the rides were being run at half capacity, is this a staffing issue??
I'm going to call it Bad Decision Hill from now on.
Cool. Enjoy.
Agreed.
The burnt orange is still there. You just can’t see it through all the scaffolding.
Splash Mound.
didn't Anaheim have a small earthquake on that day??? I seem to remember reading that....
I would add maybe it’s busier because finals for college students are ending and maybe going to Disneyland, I wonder if that makes a difference
Thank you for your updates sir! Question, we noticed days ago (from other videos) the block fence under the railroad bridge between Hungry Bear and Galaxy’s Edge, do you think this could be an area specifically built back for the snack cart that when there, blocks half the walkway? Over the weeks of watching videos, my wife and I will just shake our heads seeing a cart, manned or not, taking up the walkway, and we always say that it should be built under the bridge to help with traffic flow. (So many other places traffic flow could be helped out too, but that discussion for another time 😆)
If you look at the top of the model it IS floral. 🌸
What time should we be at the Toy story parking lot tram to arrive at Rope Drop 40min before park opens? FYI: We're walking over from a hotel (not actually parking a car). We'll be there this Fri 12/14 thru Wed, 12/20.
Thanks!!
Need to get on the People to see if the Arms of Astro are on the ride....
You might have been early on Friday. Later that day and Saturday morning they were working like crazy in there.
thank you for the comstruction updates! im just hoping that Bayou Adventure is open by June 2025.,,,
lotsa editing on this video! :o looks nice
For the amount you pay for tickets the rides should not be done especially multiple rides at same time❤
