I love when you do anything Disneyland related. It's so historic. We go every Wednesday. I would love to chat with you, Justin, I have a couple of classic Disney elements that No One has done a story on... I think you would appreciate it, maybe.
@@chicogozosodecabellosedoso Not Filthy or a billionaire! Yes, you are correct! Extremely expensive but then Everything is these days,, LOL! I am richer than all billionaires combined because I know I have enough. We live near by, we get basic Magic Key Passes, which pays for themselves after a very few visits. We do Not buy unhealthy/expensive food in the park, or outside the park. We do Not pay a ridiculous $35 for parking... etc.
@@danjones3009 if you don’t mind me asking, how much does it cost to live out there? As far as rent and monthly expenses? Here in NM it costs about $1500-$2500 a month for rent and of course add in all utilities etc. we want to move down there, but are afraid of the prices lol
@@hurstod533 Very valid questions... So Cal is very expensive. I don't know the average rental rates these days. We are Natives and have lived here for decades. Wish I could help more with your questions. Google? We choose to live humbly and frugally. It works. Can't beat the weather and all that So Cal has to offer. Cheers!
Aloha Justin, It would be amazing to do an History video on the Tahitian terrace. I was a Polynesian dancer at the Luau in Walt Disney World. There was so much tie ins in both shows. Walt really loved Polynesia and the shows and would be amazing for us Polynesians to see some of the history of our people that have been a part of Disney for a long time.
Nicely done! there was a lot of that early history with Oceanic Arts that I didn’t know.. I was fortunate to be down designing at the park as an Imagineer when we redid Adventureland in the early 90s when Indy came into the park. I was a bit sad that things had to change like the Tahitian Terrace but I guess time moves forward. I’m glad you appreciated the use of real materials for the graphics, something I really pushed for at the time and seems to have stuck.. most everything dating back to the 1960s was fiberglass..easier for maintenance, but we were pushing for more authenticity. Small world, no pun intended, but I actually brought Ray in to carve the mahogany Indiana Jones adventure outpost marquee I had designed.. He really did do an amazing job and we’re friends to this day…
I really appreciate a fellow hand carver. People vastly underestimated the work and time that goes into finishing these type of mask. Ive recently had the difficulty of dealing with a new vendor at our local tiki market in Texas who isn't interested in learning the history of these and cuts out "tikis" all day long on an cnc and prices them at a fraction of what I do and prices me out as most people would rather have get 2 or 3 tikis for the price of one of my hand carved one. But I still love doing it and you've inspired me to get back to work and finish the Lono im working on😂!
I got to meet LeRoy years ago and at the time I thought it was pretty cool but NOW? Dang. He is/was a legend. Justin, thanks for this amazing episode! I got to know Rolly and others and am thankful for them all. I am learning from Raymond now...
I really enjoy your videos when I can get to listen and watch them, I love your Halloween and Christmas ones mostly, you are a really talented guy Justin glad you got better and thankyou for sharing! 😀
Oh, what fun! ✨ I love amusement park history. I grew up going to Disneyland in the 1960s, and I couldn't wait until I was old enough to have dinner in the Tiki Room. It was fascinating because it was so different than what we saw living in suburbia, where we might only see a homemade Tiki mask that was faintly carved and almost featureless leaning up against a bamboo fence by the pool. To us as kids, the Disney Tikis were 'the real thing' and we thought they came from far away islands, arriving by way of pirate ships.🏴☠ I love your recreations and creations in the Tiki masks. We lived for years in the Northeast where winters were so long. We had a winter party with music and dancing every year. I always wanted to make a Tropical Party theme in the daylight basement we had with doors to our outdoor hot tub. I would have put up fake palm trees and would have loved to have a wall of your Tiki masks. The Big Red is interesting: it looks as though it was made from a photo of the Mandrill, a beautiful primate with a sculptured face. It looks like an authentic islander type of artifact. 🌴
Art can be surprisingly expensive. My maternal grandmother was a painter when she was a young woman, and I have quite a few of her canvases. Over the years the varnish has aged, there has been buildups of oil and smoke, etc. I decided to have them professionally cleaned, and was stunned at the price of doing the first one. Fortunately the result has been spectacular.
Praying for a speedy recovery for you, I've had a similar illness and it was very rough. May the Lord bless your travels! It's important to get those kiddos out on the trips! :-)
How cool. Not sure I can make it over to LA but definitely post when you'll be in Vegas as i'd love to get a personalized book when you're in town. Keep doing you, man!
Amazing work and fantastic historic research. I think I know more about Disney history than US history now. 😮 But I didn’t know about Mr. Tiki. They were amazing masks. Thanks for all the effort and sharing.
Amazing work in your mask carving!!! Definitely charge more- personally, I think it’s a very rare art that you’re doing- and especially the provenance of using wood from the Oceanic Arts masters, take that into account as you price items- it’s super RARE. Impressive! I hope you’re feeling better!
LOVE your historical Disneyland videos!! Prayers 🙏 for you to heal. I've had irritable bowel since the 1970's, n I KNOW first hand the anguish of bowel disease, so I will put you on the ROSARY prayer list!!! It's a Catholic thing!!!! Wonderful video!!
Great to see ya out and about again. Just take it easy..The masks as I have stated before "look great"! Again take it easy and take care. ps Love your mcm shop chairs
Hi Justin, I love your deep dives, I learn a lot. You and Jenny Nicholson do the best deep dives. I hope you're feeling better, take care! Also, say hi to Ally, her mugs look awesome, wish they were for sale. 🥰
I LOVE these carvings! I've been inspired by Justin for years, actually have created a home Tiki bar in Bavaria, Germany.. maybe the only one in the area.. I'm dreaming to visit Justins Workshop some day in the future and buy a mask for my bar!!
Thank you for carving Disneyland Tiki masks that if it was not for you Justin might be lost forever. Justin, you do a way better job at telling the history of Disneyland and Disney's life better them the History Channel's new tv show about Disney.
Tiki tropical Traders are where my sister and I got our "book bags" for Catholic Elementary School for years…they were large rattan woven basket purses…we lived 3 blocks away so we’d "pop in" to shop since admission was cheap and we had "summer shirttail East Coast relatives" left over ticket books.😆
Please come to Las Vegas for a book signing? I will be 1st in line ! I love all those tiki art you create and show the history of ! I still remember you running around oceanic art in sometimes vlog! ❤❤❤
Beautiful work! What a fun hobby! You should do Route 66! I live in a small town on the Route, Amarillo has some cool stuff. Also an ostomy nurse, sorry about your gut :(.
First it was the investors Disney was seeking who didn’t want to pay for things that don’t make money - Now it is all of Disney leadership. So sad to see the slow death of this place.
I am unclear. Your original Oceanic Arts mask of “Big Red” does have the little ears, yes? BTW, you are so cool you have made all these connections over the years. You are living your best, stellar, life. Good for you❣️
Hey Justin! Sure enjoyed this video. Along with rattlesnakes, I'm a huge fan of Walt AND tiki. Would love to sit and chat with you again sometime. 😊 ... Rattlesnake Bob (Albuquerque)
If you wanted to keep cost down on making copies of the mask you could always use the super fine sand in a box mold and pull the original out and fill the empty space with a 2 part resin.
How do we get one of your TiKis? Would be honored to own something you made ( yes we have your book lol but ot would be cool to hang one of your masks in our home!❤
I thought I was the only one that paid attention to all the tiki masks, especially at the Polynesian resort. I find myself in there all the time taking pictures of all the Tikkis and wandering who made these if they’re real or not, Where did they get the inspiration and most of all how can I make these. Iv tried a few times to start carving but after watching this video, I think I’ll give it another shot. Thanks for the inspiration.
Been watching his Disneyland videos since I was 14 years old 21 now good to see him back in the park

The “Raymond” reference had me rolling! 😂😂😂

Adventureland in the 70's. That's how I remember it.
Yay comments! You have the best videos

Hi Justin, I love your deep dives, I learn a lot. You and Jenny Nicholson do the best deep dives. I hope you're feeling better, take care! Also, say hi to Ally, her mugs look awesome, wish they were for sale. 🥰
Me too Justin, a big left turn every time I go. My Mom did it when I was a kid. I do it with my family too. 👍👍👍
I LOVE these carvings! I've been inspired by Justin for years, actually have created a home Tiki bar in Bavaria, Germany.. maybe the only one in the area.. I'm dreaming to visit Justins Workshop some day in the future and buy a mask for my bar!!
Thanks awesome video
It is pronounced Gunga Din. Not Gunga Deen. YOu are an amazing... entertainer, historian, writer and artist 😲 Wow You rock
Fantastic video brother
Any thoughts on vlogging at Tokyo Disneyland anytime soon?
He's mentioned wanting to but doesn't have the money or connections for it to happen yet.
I had went to Disneyland for the first time back in March and it’s much better than Walt Disney word and I had been going there for my entire life
How you dare to say that ?!!!! 😡
Why is it better ?😤
Justin your such a Goonie. Thanks for following your dreams
You're welcome honey. I've always been a dreamer. It's in my nature. 😉
You're welcome honey. I've always been a dreamer. It's in my nature. 😉
@15:25 I spotted a hidden "TALES FROM RANDOMLAND" book by JUSTIN SCARRED! Congrats Justin!!!!
Those masks are so cool! I went to Disney land in January 1956 when I was 5 years old. I wonder if some of those old masks were there then?
Thanks for the Clifton’s shout out. 👍

Rubber Snakes! That is what you sell and shrunken heads😆
Is It Illegal to Buy a Real Shrunken Head ?
😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅
You are lucky in recreating such masks, which have no copyright protection. Keep carving, Justin!
