These kind of videos are my favorite type. Thank you Fresh Baked!!
Agreed!
As a Disney purest, and not much of a Star Wars fan, I'm so happy to see you going back to the roots of where Disney started. Love this vid! Thanks!
I've never been in Club 33 so I don't know if any nods are there, but the club existence itself is a hidden Walt. And lets not forget that the Dream Suite, above POTC, started out as Roy & Walt's Apartment Suite (that was never finished).
You know your history, very good.
I like the “W” and “R” in the railing above pirates! for Walt and his brother
I had forgotten about that.
Good one!
Well it's only there because it was there second apartment

Hey fresh baked! I thought of another way we can think of Walt Disney when we visit the park. Anytime you see the little red fire truck driving Main Street you can think of Walt as he would often come into the park and drive his little red fire truck around MainStreet. I believe he did this prior to the opening of Disneyland and maybe if I remember correctly when the park was closed for the day. I remember watching a documentary about Walt and learning about this fact and that “Walt was simply playing with his toys.”
Your Secrets and History videos are the best! There were several things you talked about that I never knew. I love all the tributes to Walt in the park!
Telegraph has to be my favorite. Even if I’m not going on the train, I make it a point to walk over there to hear it. 🚂
I Love these videos!!! So informative . Thanks Freshbaked
As a big Disney fan, I’m surprised I only knew a few of these facts. Thank you David for educating me on the rest. I feel like I just had the Walt Tour. I can’t wait until my next trip to check them all out. As for other ways to remember Walt, I like to enjoy some of his favorite foods like Walt’s Chili or the Chicken fried Chicken (not to be confused with fried Chicken) which are both served at the Carnation Cafe. Delicious!
Another Great "Secrets" video Dave. Thanks!
Outstanding! Love your histories!
I love these.
💖💖 love this! Thank you for sharing this!
I haven’t been to Disneyland in 10 years, but when I go back I’ll need a week to check out everything Fresh Baked has taught me.
Just want to say, Thank you for this it was lovely to see and hear
Thanks David. You continue to bring great content for the the site. You make videos I want to see daily. Please keep it up. Fresh Baked!!!
David’s Hanks for your child-like wonder and delight in all things Disney. Disneyland is about the best thing ever made in the USA: an ideal world where we are all given a chance to forget all differences and enjoy each other, as so kids at the playground. Anyway, please keep up the wonderful videos! Your Pal-Oakland Steve( met you and Woo on your Thunder Mtn amarathon. Hilarious!)
thank you for putting so much work into producing these secrets and history videos for us, we all appreciate it very much
Thank you Fresh Baked
I gotta admit, I walk right by the Abe Lincoln attraction. I think I went as a little kid and was scared of Abe and now kind of block it out. LOL. I had no idea of the casting call at the theatre. I'll have to check it out next time I'm there.
Even if I can't go to Disney every day, or even every year - Every day with Fresh Baked is a great day!
Really nice Dave.. my favorite is the light forever shining in his apt above the fire station. He is in his park..always.
My favorite type of video!
I miss going to Disneyland in the 60's and 70's when admission was just a few bucks. We would go for an afternoon or an evening. We would spend more time looking at these gems. Now, with exorbitant fees, in order to get their money's worth, most people feel they need to stay as long as possible, running from big ride to big ride, missing most of the whimsy, music and charm of the park. As teens we would go for an evening, find pretty girls and not spend every second waiting in lines. I miss those days. I still have some old "E" tickets.
Love your Disney Fact videos. Hidden Walt a looking on our next trip for sure.
I'm so excited, I go in February
Finally!!!!
Well done!
You guys should do more videos like this or your history videos or your bucket list video.
LOVE!!
The Lilly bell is not apart of the Walt in Walt’s Disneyland footsteps tour, it is only available in the grand circle tour.
katie gray I was about to say, I took the Footsteps tour and we never went aboard the Lilly Bell. My family did, however, get to ride in it the opening day of the Indiana Jones ride as the park was extremely crowded and we were trying to board the railroad, but there was no room, but I was able to convince the employees to let us ride in “the fancy caboose” since it was empty. I don’t think they had worked there long as they didn’t know anything about it, and neither did my family at the time. We took two trips around the park, while the employee and I speculated on why only this one train had a “fancy” train car and if maybe there were others used thru the years for VIP visitors to the park or if this was the only one, and how often it actually gets used and if it’s detached when there aren’t any scheduled VIP visitors. That whole day my family kept getting extremely lucky and had a few rare Disney moments happen to us. Only negative Disney moment was the near 4 HOUR line to ride Indy. It made sense by hour 2 why they gave us “translation cards” to interpret the writing, there were interactive parts of the cue, and it actually had bathrooms and drinking fountains at points in the line as it was a LONG wait and Fast Passes weren’t yet thought up.
AWESOME!
Cool info Dave.
Thank you so much for making this video! I may never get to Disneyland but I love watching all your videos We try to go to Orlando to the Disney parks there every year. But I don't think we'll ever make it to Cal.I love all your vIdeos about the secrets. I have learned so much about the history of Disneyland it's so much frun.
Dang it, I learned something. Thanks.....
Fresh Baked - I just stumbled across this going back to 2017. When I got to the want ad for a flying pixie I immediately thought back to the first time I saw Tinkerbell. This was after the Matterhorn had been built so she may not have been the very first one. I saw her enter the Matterhorn in costume. She was rumored to have been a circus aerialist.
She had to have been quite elderly. She looked grandmotherly on the ground, and was probably shorter than 5' tall. But she scaled the Matterhorn from inside, and she flew across the park. She was amazing. You probably know more about her, like her name. But even as a kid I remember how the other cast members were just in awe of this aerialist.
Possibly one of the best FB videos to date! Could you do one about Roy Disney and maybe Lillian too if any? I figure there is more than just the "R" in the railing in New Orleans Square, but I haven't the faintest idea where to look!
Thank you David. This was a excellent tribute I truly appreciate your vlogs.
from that day in 1955 to how big Disney is today, it is truly epic
Who saw the sneak peek for this?
David, thanks for this great video!.....what about Walt and Roy’s initials in wrought iron on the balcony of what was to be their apartment in New Orleans square that is now the Dream suite?
You didn't want to mention the strong rumors of Walt haunting the Golden Horseshoe?
Yes, I thought of this one too! He would go in some mornings and sit in there and smoke a cigar, and I've heard employees say, that even though there is no smoking allowed now, you can definitely smell a cigar being smoked in the early morning.
neat video people usually never go past the history sections
Because we usually go bi-yearly, we get so excited for the rides and everything we tend to miss details like these, but your vids always remind me to slow down and just take a minute to appreciate why Disney is. "Let Disney happend to you", if i quoted you correctly :)
Woohoo!!
Surprised you didn't mention the mint julips you can purchase at the restaurant by New Orleans Square station. The mint julip was Walt's favorite drink.
NSA!
Squad!!
For starters I just like to thank you for all you do for all of us Disney fans. You all do a great job and I love watching your videos the only suggestion I have and you probably might not like it is to just keep your Disney Channel and mention your other channel that you can do other things on because I'm pretty sure in time you'll end up having more views between the two channels. By the way I'm sure you don't remember because I'm sure you meet plenty of muffins every day that you go to Disneyland. But I was with my daughter my grandson my family about probably 3 years ago and we were walking through the main candy store on the right side of Main Street as you walk out and I'm sorry but I can't remember what it's called. Anyways we're walking through and here comes David with his camera out and Sarah was there and it seem like someone else but it wasn't and I don't think it was Christian but anyways I got a picture with you I gave you a handshake I gave you a sideways man hug I'm sure you didn't expect but I really appreciate what you guys do and I just think there's a possibility you might get more views and be able to if you had two channels especially seeing as how you can promote one from the other and obviously there are tons of Disney fans. Anyways just my thought doesn't matter to me whether you call it fresh baked or fresh baked Disney or fresh-baked and stuff I'll still watch it all. I just have a feeling if you kept fresh-baked Disney and mentioned fresh-baked Disney and stuff is another Channel then you can show other stuff which other RUclipsrs I've seen have done and I suppose it worked out better for them because they keep doing both channels. The main RUclipsr I'm talking about for starters I just like to thank you for all you do for all of us Disney fans. You all do a great job and I love watching your videos the only suggestion I have and you probably might not like it is to just keep your Disney Channel and mention your other channel that you can do other things on because I'm pretty sure and time you'll end up having more views between the two channels.

Anyways were walking through in here comes David what is camera out and Sarah was there and it seemed like someone else but it wasn't Ian and I don't think it was Christian but anyways I got a picture with you I gave you a handshake I gave you a sideways man hug I'm sure you didn't expect but I really appreciate what you guys do and I just think there's a possibility you might get more views and be able to make more income if you had to channel is specially seems how you can promote one from the other and obviously there are tons of Disney fans. Anyways just my thought doesn't matter to me what do you call it fresh baked are fresh baked Disney or fresh baked in stuff I'll still watch it all. I just have a feeling if you kept fresh baked Disney and mentioned fresh baked Disney and stuff is another channel then you can show other stuff which other youtubers I've seen have done and I suppose it worked out better for them because they keep doing both channels. The main youtuber I'm talking about is something rather start and his main channel is randomland and most of his videos are at Disneyland. For some reason I'm thinking it's Jeffrey start but that also doesn't sound right. I love his videos too because he's very informative on history of all kinds of things like I've been there probably a hundred and fifty times and every time I watch one of his videos he tells me something I didn't know and I love that. Anyways you might want to try and contract and Ham and see what he thinks because I know he has numerous channels and he could probably give you a little insight on whether you should stick with one channel or Branch out LOL. You know what now that I think of it I think his name's Jeffrey Stark but I'm not sure anyways you might not read this but I'm just trying to give you a little advice that hopefully will help things work out better for you and your Channel. Love you guys all for doing what you do I normally go to Disneyland 6 or 8 10 12 times a year from Sacramento so it's not cheap that's for sure I would give anything to live down there in your area and get a season pass for half the price and be able to go over to Disneyland for dinner or for a snack or on a date or whatever whenever I wanted to four a couple hundred dollars a year instead of a thousand besides paying for hundreds of dollars of fuel and hundreds of dollars for hotel rooms. Like I said love what you guys do keep it up I'm sure you know better than I do what you need to do and I love what you do so4 what it's worth at least don't stop doing what you're doing for goodness sakes. I get my Disney fix right here on RUclips 300 days of the year at least LOL. God bless you all and have a great time at Disneyland and in your life. PS I Love Disneyland so much I couldn't tell you how much I love it but I could tell you that I don't think I could go there three or four days a week for a year or two or three or four without getting pretty burned out so thank you so much for what you do because when I need my fix I know where to find it fresh-baked is always the place I find it.
II over heard to CM's say something about a bad smell in the lilly bell. only heard bits of what they were saying. How did it smell for FB? Great video, I'm a Disney nerd, but you always find something I did not know.
As I understand it, it isn't Morse Cods! It is a different system that Station Masters used for security communications.
According to Save Smith, Disney Archivist

You didn’t mention the iron work with his & his brother Roy’s initials in New Orleans Square. 🤔
NSA!!
It’s a shame I don’t have any photos of Disney’s grand daughter’s house in the outskirts of where I live. Back in the nineties, you could see part of it from the road, but now the surrounding brush covers any sort of view of it. Think of if the 7 dwarves turned their cottage (complete with grass looking roof) into a huge mansion. Truly a very unique looking home. Would make for an interesting inclusion to a Disney facts video IF I could actually get a good photo or two...
NSA 💖
I’ve always wondered about the lantern in the window. As the boss of the company, did he really want a “signal” to let cast members to know when he was there and to be on their best behavior? Isn’t that other side of that an invitation to screw around when he’s not there?
Hey hey
Thumbs up.
As long as someone is remembered, they never die, riight?
I live right by the petrified forest in Colorado..
One thing I think you might have missed is the original heart of Disneyland, the golden spike that you passed over just before Mr Toad's Wild Ride. And the clock above it. Every time I pass through the castle I have to take a look at it and step over the spike and look up.
I'm aware of those of course, but those are not specific references to Walt Disney himself.
FreshBaked ahhhhh gotcha. Cool!
Walt's chili available at carnation cafe and also at the studio's
I rather like this one.
I have definitely checked out those things in Main Street Station....I love the details!
Are you sure about the second story regarding the petrified tree? You mean I've been making a fool of myself every time I told others that it was an anniversary gift from Walt to Lillian? How come we didn't get the real story in the first place? Thanks for bursting my bubble, haha! ;-)
The telegraph heard at the NOS station is actually a precursor to Morse code developed by Alfred Vail, who was a partner of Morse.....known as the "Vail Code". (Now I get to do some "bubble bursting".....but I'll probably find out that that's wrong, too....sigh)
Nice work on this...your narration came out really well.....and was very informative.
+kdm71291 as sure as i can be, yes.
I was afraid of that; heaven forbid I should be right all the time, hahahaha! ;-)
lol, yeah. the story I read was actually written by the Disney history institute and vetted by family members. Sorry KDM!
Haha....good enough for me.
Several years ago at the Park, I purchased the book "Disney Trivia From The Vault" By Dave Smith -Chief Archivist Emeritus of The Walt Disney Archives......I don't remember it being covered in that publication....but it's a fun book.
I thought the Lilly Belle was the back to the E.P Ripley. Do they switch the car between the holiday and the Ripley or am i wrong
It’s usually at the rear of the Holiday 5 Blue cars, the locomotives switch daily which car sets they pull
Sorry FreshBaked that crest is Richard The Lionheart's Google it.
Disney must be spinning in his grave. If he knew that his company would become the safe haven for one of the things he was most against, he would lose his mind.
Ironically, Disney is all about love and acceptance so I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Here's one that I consider a hidden Walt: www.disboards.com/threads/interesting-matterhorn-fact-and-pics-from-the-park-today.3656576/
Scroll down about halfway to the light blue "W." I took this pic at the loading area of The Mark Twain.
I love the rising of the American Flag, its beautiful and really heartwarming that we have so many military out there fighting for our freedom, take time to be there, you will not regret it.
Oh, and, now that we know the partial FOX purchase went through, can we expect a comment/reaction video?
kdm71291 David posted something on the FreshBakedPresents channel a few days ago.
I think I thought that was before the deal officially went through.....unless he made a more current one......I should have looked first.

It always kind of bugs me when you call something "hidden" when it's in plain site and instantly identifiable. Hidden Mickeys got their start when imagineers were designing Epcot. The company planned for EPCOT to be adult oriented and to sell alcoholic drinks. But Disney characters and alcohol were considered to be improper together, so they decided that none of the characters like Mickey and Minnie would ever be seen at EPCOT. The imagineers took that as a challenge, and started adding hidden Mickey silhouettes into the design of the park. This was typically three circles, two representing the ears and one main one for the head. The outline could be made up of plates, circles, stones, glass panels, or whatever else they thought they could fit it into.
Since they were not intended to be easily noticed, the name "hidden Mickey" was later coined for them. If it's an obvious character reference or easily spotted and identified, it's not a hidden Mickey. They are supposed to be subtle.
