I remember Little Red when I first went on the Animal Kingdom Safari, never knew there was a dessicated Big Red - eww! Probably smelled worse than Lafitte's sandals

Andy's Coming never happens because people found out, and it was painful for the workers. and NO, Bonnie's coming also doesn't work.
I highly doubt the whole "Andy's Coming!" thing ever actually happened. The few photos I've seen all look like the park was deserted, probably not yet opened, and that it was just the Characters having a goof with their fellow CMs. I say this for three reasons. 1. The ground is HARD, not something you want to just fall down onto randomly. The liability if you got hurt isn't something Disney wants to deal with. 2. Are you really going to risk ripping your costume, midway through your shift? Or scuffing up that Woody head by falling on concrete? Not if you like having a paycheck. 3. It's very hard to see in those costumes and kids are unpredictable. You just never know when a little kid is going to run up to you out of your view range. Nobody wants to be the one responsible for falling on a four year old. It's just not safe to intentionally fall down like that.
@@themisfitowl2595 Honestly that's always been my hypothesis: that the photos were staged be it from CMs goofing around with each other or a guest asked the character handlers if they could take a silly picture, and some idiot on Reddit saw this and made up the entire story on the spot - and because apparently no one learned their lesson from Arthur that people do indeed lie on the internet, they just ran with the story. Not to mention what also most likely happened, a bunch of people dogpiled onto the story claiming "'Andy's coming' is a totally real thing! I saw it happen!" or variants of that claim.
"Snow White dies" is actually a reference to WDW's nightmarish Snow White dark ride from 1971, in which riders were made to assume the perspective of Snow White herself. At the very end of the ride, the Witch appeared in the gem vault of the Dwarfs' mine, dislodging a giant emerald onto riders from above in the style of the boulder scene from the film. This was followed by a series of strobe lights and starburst patterns in the dark, implying that the Witch succeeded in killing "you," or Snow White.
I remember when I went to Disney World and saw the words "Snow White" and didn't read the rest of the ride title. So I went on the ride with my family as an 8 yr old and was pretty freaked out.
@@jaeeun5803 I never went on that ride as a child because I saw the word "Scary" in it, and being terrified of The Haunted Mansion and shaken by Pinocchio's Daring Journey, I wanted nothing to do with a scary Snow White ride! I rode it for the first time back when I visited Disneyland in March 2018, and imho as a then 30-year-old, it was still pretty unnerving! Not terrifying as I'm sure I would've found it as a 3-year-old, but I can understand why Disney chooses to point out that it might be too scary for younger guests! Quite a few of the animatronics in there still look pretty old (not like Opening Day of Disneyland old, more like 1983 Fantasyland re-opening old) and have the stiff movements of the pre-1964 Worlds Fair animatronics, and paired with the vacant stares and dead eyes... even that was enough to give me the willies!
Along with Alien Encounter, the scariest attraction in Disney history. When I take over Disney, WDW is definitely getting Snow White's Scary Adventures back in some form and it may just be the original one complete with the witch shrieking "Goodbye Dearie!" as she drops the emerald on you. Disney needs more dark and macabre attractions that terrify kids. That's why Halloween is the best holiday. Also thank god for Claude Coats designing such a great attraction and you Haunted Mansion fans should be glad that Marc Davis' whimsical mansion designs won out over Coats. Snow White was his consolation prize.
First time I was at Toy Story Land at Hollywood Studios some guy yelled "Andy's Coming" at Woody, and the character attendant without missing a beat replied "Andy's at college." SO funny well done to her 😂
People _do_ scatter ashes at Disney parks. They actually have a specific code for it, because you're _not allowed to do that_ and discovering ashes will prompt them to call in someone with a very fine handheld vacuum cleaner to come and dispose of the ashes. Don't scatter your ashes at Disney World kids. You'll just end up in a hoover and then a bin.
@@DeerBonesBaby My current idea is to have a woodburned portrait token of myself taken there and see if they can put it somewhere discreet. I don't think your entire body can go there XD
The young man who died while piloting that monorail actually saved the lives of everyone else on board by reversing his car just before the impact killed him. A lot of people in that moment wouldn't be thinking about anyone else, but he was.
@@level3xfactor prob cause it’s not exactly true (edit: as in no one else was on it) iirc the monorail accident was after park closed they were putting the monorails away when they crashed And the crash was because the auto detecter didn’t work and the monorails were not actually visible to the overviewers
6:40 I used to work at WDW pirates. They told me you ALWAYS say "good night, George", but NEVER good morning. Simply put, you don't want to wake him up, even if it's well-intentioned.
Hello, I’m the original poster of the iceberg (figmentfan1982) and I’m going to share the info that was misinterpreted/not known about in the video. Snow White Dies: This refers to the ending of the opening day Snow White’s Scary Adventures at WDW in which the she is crushed by a giant diamond by the wicked witch. Madame Leota Real Seance: A rumor that the spell book used in the Madame Leota scene was a real cursed artifact. Lost Muppet Vision Preshow: A cancelled addition to the 2009 refurbishment. This was directed by David Gumbel during November 2008, but this was not included when the refurbishment debuted. 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea Leak: Refers to an actual leak that happened in the water. Disney Cemetery: Refers to a rumor of a hidden cemetery inside of the parks (think the frozen walt thing but with the deceased) Everything else was correct. Also it was pretty cool to have my work featured in one of Offhand’s videos, so thanks for that! Also Lafitte Sandals.
Fun story! My friends and I would call the Epcot phone booths for fun sometimes to see who would pick up. And one day some kids who were there for their hs marching band picked up the phone. They were performing in a parade and happened to compete in the same circuit my HS marching band did (southern California). Once we found out what school they went to, we ended up meeting in person the next year at a competition
3:55 mansion maid here - we don’t wait till third shift to vaacum up “code a”s. the second they’re spotted, we have to cycle out the ride, dump the queue, and mansion goes down while we wait for custodial to come and clear the code a. It usually causes mansion to go down for at least an hour, so PLEASE don’t dump your loved ones’ ashes - not only will they just end up in the dumpster, but it causes the ride to go down and impacts everyone else’s parks experience as well.
I worked Haunted Mansion Disney World. So we know when ashes are thrown because they glow in the dark under the Mansion's lighting (due to the bone fragments). A cast member is at unload and hears screaming and wailing. As the buggie comes in, the cast member sees that the guests in the buggie covered in glow in the dark powder. The guest had tried to throw their loved ones ashes into the ballroom... and the ashes bounced off the glass right back onto them.. covering the guests in the ashes of their loved ones. A true sh!tshow. Also disney closes the rides and has maintenance come in with hazmat suits and special vacuums... if you throw your loved one in the Mansion, your loved one ends up in a landfill.
Friendly neighborhood Pirate here- There are no ghosts inside the attraction but we do have a frog. Next time your visiting Magic Kingdom and riding POTC ask to meet Leroy :)
I’m sure that the Hell reference is to Mr. Toad. You can feel the heat from that room when you’re on the Alice in Wonderland ride, which is essentially the second floor of the building.
I recall the tunnels on Tom Sawyer’s Island being much more extensive when I was younger. I think that some were closed over time. There was one that was a ‘secret’ entrance to Fort Wilderness, as well as quite a lot mid-island. I couldn’t even count the number of times I banged my head on the rocks in there. With the remodel of the Rivers of America for Galaxy’s Edge, I’m sure the tunnels are a mere shadow of what they once were.
As a San Antonian I’ve always thought their third theoretical location would be made here, my dad and I said this solely because of the sea world locations. California, Orlando Florida, and here in SA Texas. One can only dream
ayyeee i’m a San Antonian too! and honestly man, my family went to florida when i was around 1 or 2 but we couldn’t get into the park for some reason i can’t remember smh. we need one here lol.
i’m surprised Sora at Disney Parks wasn’t on here. there used to be various KH promotions in the parks back then, but not anymore. hopefully they bring it back, it’d be funny to see a Sora character played by an actor walk around the park
If anyone is interested in the movie Escape From Tomorrow, Jenny Nicholson did a great video commentary on it! I would also be really keen to see a video covering it from this channel too though.
I'm actually surprised the movie is hated by so many. Yet, as someone who lives in a country with no Disney-Parks in reach (next opportunity would be Paris), it was a unique insight and the movie itself was enjoyable. Weird, don't took itself to serious (Cat Flu as an example or the Bosch company is secretly ruling the world, for sure!) and with a few very creepy moments. I do think people hate it is partly because they visit the parks more often and do connect various different memories with it. It's a low budget indie movie, but I had a good time with it. Would love to see it covered here, but if this turns out to be a 25 minutes rant or so I don't think I would be on board.
I honestly think it's a psychedelic masterpiece. Having grown up close enough to Disneyland to have passes, seeing this familiar real place that could never be re-created (on that tiny budget at least) presented in such a weird way was super trippy. There's a sort of meta-fascination to it.
When I think “Disneyland Graveyard,” the old Pioneer Cemetery that used to be behind Fort Wilderness on Tom Sawyer Island is the first thing that comes to mind. I’m pretty sure the graveyard didn’t survive the Galaxy’s Edge expansion. But my second ever Instagram post was an attempt at a moody and spooky black and white photo of the tombstones in the play area.
The worst part about the monorail collision is that cast members spent a significant time trying to get people off the platform so they would stop photographing/filming the mangled train that STILL HAD A DEAD GUY INSIDE IT.
There used to be a Disney creepypasta video many years ago and I wish I can still find it, it's about Mr. Toads wild ride. I don't remember it all completely but the story goes that one person who was going to the ride was excited about it, while in the ride after passing the library at the beginning, when this person entered the room where there's a bunch of paintings on the sides and a couple chandeliers, instead of taking the usual left turn to enter the next room, the front wall that gives the illusion of a longer room suddenly opens and the person's car enters immediately dropping thr rider down like a rollercoaster and into literal hell, closing the doors behind too before anyone else saw. I remember it saying how terrifying the person was. Seeing many messed up things and way more flames than there was was on the actual ride. I think eventually the person entered a room leading on the side where the bricks open to another room on the room or just when you see the dragon in the rides hell. It's been a long time seeing that video because I watched it ar least twice one day before I went to Disneyland years ago. I've been trying to look for it but I can't find it anymore either.
Splash mountain feels kinda eerie to me knowing that sone of those animatronics have seen real Death and been around such horrible tragedy in their lifetime.
Little Red lives on...the last time I saw her she was in front of an administration building near Animal Kingdom. We saw her during the 8 hour behind the scenes Disney tour. They took us to see stuff used in some of the parades at Animal Kingdom and pointed her out. Also you can get access to Central Shops. Backstage Magic $275 a person but on hold right now because of COVID) you get access to Central Shops - it says it right on their tour description. Looks like the tour is only 7 hours and you don't go to Hollywood Studios. We actually got to go into the maintenance garage for Tower of Terror. It was really cool.
The whole urban legend of Walt being cryogenically frozen was probably started by someone wanting to make a joke about him being put in suspended animation.
Kind of different George story: so we had been to wdw probably 10+ times, and at one point before a trip, I learned about the story of George the ghost. So fast forward to our trip, I tell my family the story and how you have to tell him good morning and goodnight, all that stuff. Well, my dad decided to ask a cast member in the queue about George, and apparently this guy didn’t know the story and calmly replied, “Oh, no sir, there are no ghosts here, you’re thinking of the Haunted Mansion.” Lol. We just left it at that. It was a good lil laugh for us.
Code Word: Lafiet, I might have spelled that wrong… I have experienced George, the last time I went I looked backward when you enter the Barbossa part and I have always loved to see behind the scenes but anyways I saw a technical spot and then a silhouette of a man just poking his head out from behind the technical part and at first my brain thought it was an animatronic because of the way it moved up but then common sense came to me and I thought that would be a waist, so I put two and two together and ya, you know the rest, George. Also it was about not even a week ago Also the mummy in the haunted mansion is alone, his friend that cannot hear was gone!!!
Those ghosts videos you showed like Mr. One Way and the ghost leaving the Haunted Mansion were created by Disney. Christopher Cantwell made a thread about it last year on his Twitter explaining how they did it and that it was a viral marketing campaign.
We love your channel so much!! Guess what Fransisco aka Sisco is FEMALE!!!! 🤯 She’s such a good kitty! She always comes to us and we call her our Vacation Kitty. We will be in Disneyland soon enough and we really hope she’s still hunting at Grizzly River Run! 🙏🏻 Three cheers for Lafite’s Sandals!
Lafeet yoooo Kingdom Keepers reference 👀 Do you think you’ll ever do a video or series on the book series debunking the really weird stuff that happened in them or obscure Disney references in them? Cause I’ve literally been waiting for years for someone to talk about those books. Sandals
"Tip of the iceberg" is a saying because icebergs float with 9/10ths of it under the surface of the water. You only see about 1/10th of the actual iceberg. The saying means you're only seeing a tiny part of a massive volume of something. It doesn't mean "this is basic knowledge". It could however mean "this is a small part of a huge volume of information."
@@kosmoboo I'm guessing you haven't heard of the popular iceberg chart trend. It became really popular with the Super Mario 64 iceberg, but now you can find almost any topic in the form of an iceberg explained. Basically it's a chart filled with facts and theories about a specific topic. The "tip of the iceberg" means common knowledge stuff that most people know. The deeper down the iceberg you go, the more obscure and creepy the facts & theories get.
Great video! I've been going to Disneyland more often since I bought a magic key pass and this video informed me of a lot of the more obscure aspects of the park.
41:23 it's more of an industry standard. Many years ago I used to work at a six flags park and they were referred to as "loss prevention" it's a department within security
Yes, more on, “Escape from Tomorrow” would be great. Especially interesting to note what scenes were filmed in Florida and what scenes were filmed in California.
Whenever my family and I have gone to Disneyland in recent years and visited California Adventure we always end up seeing Francisco the cat at least once on all of our trips! Cool finally knowing the name of the familiar cat face we see every time we go!
The ghost videos were actually a subconscious way to bring more attention to the parks. All the ghost "sightings" were made during one of the low times of the Disney parks.
I think the Zachary Levi interview is from 2017ish, and the "emu meat" urban legend is from at LEAST 2013, because it was mentioned in the movie ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW. That was the first time I'd heard that, and part of me wonders if that's where the rumour started? That movie is full of all kinds of ridiculous things like that, so I can't imagine anyone taking any part of it seriously, but stranger things have happened I guess.
Lafette! I love listen/watching your videos as I do things around the house and this one kept me going for a while, I’ll probably watch this at least two more times this week. I’ve been subscribed for a while now but I never seem to watch your videos when their recent so I was super excited when I saw a new release that was so long! Thanks for another great video
P l e a s e do a video about Escape from Tomorrow, that sounds so fascinating! It'd also be cool if they had more lore about Lafitte sprinkled throughout the parks, maybe put his portrait on some sandals or something, lol
I fully believe the George story in the sense that I fully believe that the ride would work better or worse depending on if the opening and closing CM said good morning/good bye, but not in the sense that a ghost is responsible. A cast member that says good morning/goodbye is a cast member that is attentive to security checklists and respects the routine (since the good morning/goodbye thing would be part of the routine), hence the ride working better or worse that day.
“Lafitte sandals!” 😉 I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Great job editing and narrating! I had no idea about the 2-color lightbulb. I’ll look for it in December when we go back to DL. 😊👍🏻 keep making these “movie length” videos!
Hunting down the poachers was one of the best theme park storylines I’ve ever experienced. I can still distinctly hear the radio calls and shots in my brain knowing that the game wardens saved that little baby. Personally I thought it was badass but definitely too much for Disney.
I remember the enchanted Tiki room when I was super young. I remember all of the classic birds there Iago Zazu, etc. and I remember the God coming out of the centerpiece. I don’t know why they took it out it was rad as hell
My uncle told me a story where he trolled the Epcot phone booths: he sat across the street from the phones, and called them, then asked whoever answered (in a Cockney accent) if they would go into the pub across the street and get his food
I've been to Club 33 and it seems to also have a little bit of a ghost theme, similar to the Haunted Mansion and the Tower of Terror. The pictures on the walls will sometimes move and some of the instruments will start being played by "ghosts".
I always wanted Disney to turn the Cats in Disneyland into an actual story. Done with original drawn animation. I always thought that would have been neat to see a group of cats go through an adventure in Disneyland and see how the park and its attractions would fit into their world.
I once saw a rocket taking off from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Santa Barbara while I was in line for Space Mountain in Anaheim. Heck, a few times I saw those from my old house north of San Diego.
18:26 if it is actually a real skull. Then it might be a request of the family to leave it in the ride as a way to honor his legacy (imagine your great great grandfathers skull is notable for being the only real body part in the pirates ride (that’s a nice family heirloom you can show people and not worry about it being stolen)
I worked in maintenance at Pirates in 2011 and some of the guys I worked with said they have seen him and he just watches them work. I haven't seen him my self but if it isn't true it's still fun.
one time on my birthday i went to epcot and one of the cast members saw the birthday pin i had and told me to go to the epcot phone booths and pick up the phone. then there was a recorded message from goofy saying happy birthday. i remember thinking it was really cool
20:28 I actually think it’s referring to the scary Snow White Adventures night ride where the ride does end with the evil queen tipping a large boulder(or giant gem) on top of you.
Look up Jeepers! in MI. Kind of a Chuck E Cheese in a mall. I rode the mall ride that beheaded an employee. We all just kinda quietly let them shut the doors for good. We didn't wanna go back. Now the whole mall is dead. Even the Sears. If you're from MI, IYKYK.
Magic Kingdom DOES still have a tour of the Utilidoors. Its is part of the Keys to the Kingdon tour although most tours have been suspended due to the pandemic.
42:11 -- It's unlikely they're referring to this, but at one point there was a rumor that a Ratatouille attraction was going to replace Mulholland Madness at California Adventure, before it was ultimately rethemed to Goofy's Sky School. At the time, I remember an executive saying that "Ratatouille" was "not a franchise" and not to expect any attractions based on it. (That person was obviously wrong in the long run.)
When I went to California Adventure solo a few years ago I went on space mountain and they sat some red head dude next to me and I about crapped my pants but he was still there at the end of the ride lmao
Lafeet sandals. No matter how long it takes you to make a video it will always be a banger. After 2+ years of watching the quality has only gone up. Great video
the yippies were so close to having it. so close. giving native dancers a fair wage is a totally reasonable thing to ask for! but then they had to do the minnie mouse thing, totally screwing up their credibility....
As someone who used to single ride space mountain frequently I actually have seen mr one way!! He didn’t speak to me but he seems very nice. He had red hair and a beard, and he looked like he was wearing a flannel. It was a bit hard to see him but I noticed him when I was actually inside and I was really excited I finally got to be graced by his presence.
I used to be a dishwasher for Inn Between employee restaurant behind space mountain. I miss it but i was getting paid 9.60 an hour at the time. It would be nice to work in the park I enjoyed going back as an adult recently.
What I find ironic is that one of the birds at the tiki room under new management had two animatronics one normal and one injured after being hurt during the shows story and the normal one was burnt. 😂
The Disney secret service one 41: 23 is actually true! My aunt worked at Disneyland and she got to spy on ride operators to make sure they did their job. Checking seatbelts, securing bars, etc. She was called an auditor, and I actually helped by watching people too. She doesn't do it anymore though because you have to quit after a while so people don't start recognizing you.
In regards to George, I don’t know whether to believe it or not but I will say that pre-internet Disney was very *very* good at covering those kinds of accidents up
Lafite and sandals. My boyfriend and I were just at Disneyland and we kept saying Lafite! Lafite’s landing no matter where we were in New Orleans square.
My one George story is asking the cast that closes out the day on Pirates. They didn’t know anything about having to say Good Night George or even the story of him. So, nope
I got to go on Kilimanjaro Safari recently (Nov 2022) and I was rather saddened to see a lot of things removed. The rickety bridge that shook back and forth no longer does so, it’s just a bridge, there’s no more elements of poachers besides a warning that builds to nothing, a few elements of the ride either aren’t in use or have been removed, the story is just gone (as stated), but a lot of the set up is still there. Makes it feel very… empty. Animals are still cool, truck is still the truck, but it misses some of that Disney charm.
Escape from Tomorrow was filmed at both Disneyworld and Disneyland using a guerilla film making style. Disney would allow the film maker to film his movie so he did it on the sly. We made a drinking game out of this. We took a shot for every every scene that was actually film at Disneyland. The teacups footage you used is actually Disneyland since Disneyworld's Teacups are covered.
As of 2 years ago you could take a tour called Keys to the Kingdom and visit the Utilidors. Maybe they stopped the tour due to the Pandemic. The corridors arent big enough to do social Distancing.
All those "ghost" videos at Disneyland were just viral marketing - Chris Cantwell (creator of Halt & Catch Fire) tweeted about how he and others did it, back in June 2020! (Jean Lafitte in sandals)
For 13 years now Universal has had expectations on par with Disney as far as quality. In 2010 they added Forbidden Journey and Hogsmead which is Disney quality. In 2014 they added Diagon Alley and Escape from Gringotts. From 2015 to 2018 they built Skull Island, Supercharged and Race through NY, which failed to meet the Disney expectations and Universal took a lot of heat. Since then they have built Velocicoaster and Hagrid's. Thats 13 years of Disney level expectations. As a themepark enthusiasts who visits WDW, Univerdal Orlando, Disneyland, Universal Hollywood, Knotts, and Magic Mountain, Universal is almost certainly on trajectory to be the clear best theme park company in the next 10 years.
Emu Meat: Yeah, okay, so it's unlikely, but it's not outside the bounds of possibility. Emu meat is often available in Australian supermarkets for human consumption, after all. However, if they WERE going to offer it at Disney, I suspect it would cost a whole lot more ... and be intended to feed a family of 6. "The drumsticks produce about 3.5 kg of meat and the thigh cuts (rump and fillet) about 5 kg." Galaxy's Edge Coverup: Offhand Disney: I guess it's just Disney fans love to hate on Disney. Me: Sure ... but Star Wars fans love to hate on Star Wars, so there's that.
The movie shot in the park without permission reminds me of another movie that was shot in Ikeas where there are staged rooms. That film was also made without Ikea's permission. Wonder if it's the same filmmakers lol.
I died of embarrassment for the guy who tried to do “Andy’s coming!”. I’d have flown home immediately.

Disney Cemetery: Refers to a rumor of a hidden cemetery inside of the parks (think the frozen walt thing but with the deceased)
Everything else was correct. Also it was pretty cool to have my work featured in one of Offhand’s videos, so thanks for that! Also Lafitte Sandals.
thanks
this has 100 likes
Oh wow, that's an interesting Leota theory
Thanks for making that clear. It really helped break up the confusion. P.S. Nice iceberg!
guess the muppet part couldnt stay well from money undermine problems
Fun story! My friends and I would call the Epcot phone booths for fun sometimes to see who would pick up. And one day some kids who were there for their hs marching band picked up the phone. They were performing in a parade and happened to compete in the same circuit my HS marching band did (southern California). Once we found out what school they went to, we ended up meeting in person the next year at a competition
Lovely story! :)
Yooo what year was this? I was there with my HS band participating in the 2012 Christmas parade 😆
Fun story as soon as the iceberg image popped up epcot phone number was the one I read and saw first.
@@fluffycuteish this was like 2013 ish
That’s actually pretty cool
3:55 mansion maid here - we don’t wait till third shift to vaacum up “code a”s. the second they’re spotted, we have to cycle out the ride, dump the queue, and mansion goes down while we wait for custodial to come and clear the code a. It usually causes mansion to go down for at least an hour, so PLEASE don’t dump your loved ones’ ashes - not only will they just end up in the dumpster, but it causes the ride to go down and impacts everyone else’s parks experience as well.
That’s so cool!
I worked Haunted Mansion Disney World. So we know when ashes are thrown because they glow in the dark under the Mansion's lighting (due to the bone fragments). A cast member is at unload and hears screaming and wailing. As the buggie comes in, the cast member sees that the guests in the buggie covered in glow in the dark powder. The guest had tried to throw their loved ones ashes into the ballroom... and the ashes bounced off the glass right back onto them.. covering the guests in the ashes of their loved ones. A true sh!tshow. Also disney closes the rides and has maintenance come in with hazmat suits and special vacuums... if you throw your loved one in the Mansion, your loved one ends up in a landfill.
honestly i feel like that's one of the better scenarios when you hear screaming in a slow moving ride

Friendly neighborhood Pirate here- There are no ghosts inside the attraction but we do have a frog. Next time your visiting Magic Kingdom and riding POTC ask to meet Leroy :)
1. I loved this video.
2. I feel weird for already knowing almost everything mentioned.
Glad I'm not the only one.
I’m sure that the Hell reference is to Mr. Toad. You can feel the heat from that room when you’re on the Alice in Wonderland ride, which is essentially the second floor of the building.
Holy crap what is this, Offhand Disney: The Movie? You're gonna spoil us with such a huge run time! TYVM!
Well, it is longer than *Saludos Amigos.*
Yet the video seemed to just fly by relatively quickly... at least for me it did.
@@Mike__B A sign of quality if I'm not mistaken. (And I'm not!)
I recall the tunnels on Tom Sawyer’s Island being much more extensive when I was younger. I think that some were closed over time. There was one that was a ‘secret’ entrance to Fort Wilderness, as well as quite a lot mid-island. I couldn’t even count the number of times I banged my head on the rocks in there. With the remodel of the Rivers of America for Galaxy’s Edge, I’m sure the tunnels are a mere shadow of what they once were.
As a San Antonian I’ve always thought their third theoretical location would be made here, my dad and I said this solely because of the sea world locations. California, Orlando Florida, and here in SA Texas. One can only dream
ayyeee i’m a San Antonian too! and honestly man, my family went to florida when i was around 1 or 2 but we couldn’t get into the park for some reason i can’t remember smh. we need one here lol.
i’m surprised Sora at Disney Parks wasn’t on here. there used to be various KH promotions in the parks back then, but not anymore. hopefully they bring it back, it’d be funny to see a Sora character played by an actor walk around the park
If anyone is interested in the movie Escape From Tomorrow, Jenny Nicholson did a great video commentary on it! I would also be really keen to see a video covering it from this channel too though.
I'm actually surprised the movie is hated by so many. Yet, as someone who lives in a country with no Disney-Parks in reach (next opportunity would be Paris), it was a unique insight and the movie itself was enjoyable. Weird, don't took itself to serious (Cat Flu as an example or the Bosch company is secretly ruling the world, for sure!) and with a few very creepy moments. I do think people hate it is partly because they visit the parks more often and do connect various different memories with it. It's a low budget indie movie, but I had a good time with it. Would love to see it covered here, but if this turns out to be a 25 minutes rant or so I don't think I would be on board.
I honestly think it's a psychedelic masterpiece. Having grown up close enough to Disneyland to have passes, seeing this familiar real place that could never be re-created (on that tiny budget at least) presented in such a weird way was super trippy. There's a sort of meta-fascination to it.
Dude I’ve been watching icebergs all day and I know for a fact this one is going to be good. Thank you Offhand Disney!
This missed the fun little sandal shop that used to be back behind Lafitte's Landing during the late 80's.
Well played. Very well played, indeed!
When I think “Disneyland Graveyard,” the old Pioneer Cemetery that used to be behind Fort Wilderness on Tom Sawyer Island is the first thing that comes to mind.
I’m pretty sure the graveyard didn’t survive the Galaxy’s Edge expansion.
But my second ever Instagram post was an attempt at a moody and spooky black and white photo of the tombstones in the play area.
The worst part about the monorail collision is that cast members spent a significant time trying to get people off the platform so they would stop photographing/filming the mangled train that STILL HAD A DEAD GUY INSIDE IT.
There used to be a Disney creepypasta video many years ago and I wish I can still find it, it's about Mr. Toads wild ride. I don't remember it all completely but the story goes that one person who was going to the ride was excited about it, while in the ride after passing the library at the beginning, when this person entered the room where there's a bunch of paintings on the sides and a couple chandeliers, instead of taking the usual left turn to enter the next room, the front wall that gives the illusion of a longer room suddenly opens and the person's car enters immediately dropping thr rider down like a rollercoaster and into literal hell, closing the doors behind too before anyone else saw. I remember it saying how terrifying the person was. Seeing many messed up things and way more flames than there was was on the actual ride. I think eventually the person entered a room leading on the side where the bricks open to another room on the room or just when you see the dragon in the rides hell. It's been a long time seeing that video because I watched it ar least twice one day before I went to Disneyland years ago. I've been trying to look for it but I can't find it anymore either.
That’s one interesting creepypasta
Splash mountain feels kinda eerie to me knowing that sone of those animatronics have seen real Death and been around such horrible tragedy in their lifetime.
Little Red lives on...the last time I saw her she was in front of an administration building near Animal Kingdom. We saw her during the 8 hour behind the scenes Disney tour. They took us to see stuff used in some of the parades at Animal Kingdom and pointed her out. Also you can get access to Central Shops. Backstage Magic $275 a person but on hold right now because of COVID) you get access to Central Shops - it says it right on their tour description. Looks like the tour is only 7 hours and you don't go to Hollywood Studios. We actually got to go into the maintenance garage for Tower of Terror. It was really cool.
The Abyss:
Disney’s America.
Quite literally the one thing no one talks about, but was oddly important enough to get political attention.
@Emmanuel Goldstein, have you heard of the tragedy of Disney’s America the Prideful?
Clearly you didn't see it then because you are way off. Also please stop posting partisan political B.S here. This is not the place for that garbage.
I can't believe the chart missed the "Lafitte Sandal Scandal" conspiracy! I hope to see another one of these in the future.
The whole urban legend of Walt being cryogenically frozen was probably started by someone wanting to make a joke about him being put in suspended animation.
Funny! 😊
Kind of different George story: so we had been to wdw probably 10+ times, and at one point before a trip, I learned about the story of George the ghost. So fast forward to our trip, I tell my family the story and how you have to tell him good morning and goodnight, all that stuff. Well, my dad decided to ask a cast member in the queue about George, and apparently this guy didn’t know the story and calmly replied, “Oh, no sir, there are no ghosts here, you’re thinking of the Haunted Mansion.” Lol. We just left it at that. It was a good lil laugh for us.
Code Word: Lafiet, I might have spelled that wrong…
I have experienced George, the last time I went I looked backward when you enter the Barbossa part and I have always loved to see behind the scenes but anyways I saw a technical spot and then a silhouette of a man just poking his head out from behind the technical part and at first my brain thought it was an animatronic because of the way it moved up but then common sense came to me and I thought that would be a waist, so I put two and two together and ya, you know the rest, George.
Also it was about not even a week ago
Also the mummy in the haunted mansion is alone, his friend that cannot hear was gone!!!
I’m not really a believer in George but, if he is real whenever I ride pirates of the Caribbean I say hello to him to show him respect
I was there 9/26/21 and he was there, but his arm for the horn was gone.
Those ghosts videos you showed like Mr. One Way and the ghost leaving the Haunted Mansion were created by Disney.
Christopher Cantwell made a thread about it last year on his Twitter explaining how they did it and that it was a viral marketing campaign.
MEGA props to you for that intro! i’ve never seen that much effort put into an iceberg video and it was really neat!!
The Muppet Vision Pre Show might be refer to how Constantine was added into the Muppet Vision Pre Show from 2014-2016 I believe.
Dallin going to the Artic for our entertainment? What a guy! Such dedication!
We love your channel so much!! Guess what Fransisco aka Sisco is FEMALE!!!! 🤯 She’s such a good kitty! She always comes to us and we call her our Vacation Kitty. We will be in Disneyland soon enough and we really hope she’s still hunting at Grizzly River Run! 🙏🏻 Three cheers for Lafite’s Sandals!
Lafeet yoooo Kingdom Keepers reference 👀
Do you think you’ll ever do a video or series on the book series debunking the really weird stuff that happened in them or obscure Disney references in them? Cause I’ve literally been waiting for years for someone to talk about those books.
Sandals
PLEASE THAT WOULD BE SO GOOD
Yesssss!!!!! That would be awesome!!!!!!
"Tip of the iceberg" is a saying because icebergs float with 9/10ths of it under the surface of the water. You only see about 1/10th of the actual iceberg. The saying means you're only seeing a tiny part of a massive volume of something. It doesn't mean "this is basic knowledge". It could however mean "this is a small part of a huge volume of information."
You are so smart
Put Edwina back in bowl!
I was very confused by this video and kept waiting for the rest of the info... I still don't understand what this has to do with icebergs...
@@kosmoboo I'm guessing you haven't heard of the popular iceberg chart trend.
It became really popular with the Super Mario 64 iceberg, but now you can find almost any topic in the form of an iceberg explained.
Basically it's a chart filled with facts and theories about a specific topic. The "tip of the iceberg" means common knowledge stuff that most people know. The deeper down the iceberg you go, the more obscure and creepy the facts & theories get.
Cool story bro
Great video! I've been going to Disneyland more often since I bought a magic key pass and this video informed me of a lot of the more obscure aspects of the park.
41:23 it's more of an industry standard. Many years ago I used to work at a six flags park and they were referred to as "loss prevention" it's a department within security
There are also shop walkers at major department stores.
Would you consider making a strobe warning/timestamps? Those of us with neurological triggers appreciate it!
Seconded
Get off the internet if you need time stamps and trigger warnings. Seriously
@@bellezanegra0206 Funny to see such ableist bullshit from someone with playlists about Scripture and Painting Baby Dolls

Yes, more on, “Escape from Tomorrow” would be great. Especially interesting to note what scenes were filmed in Florida and what scenes were filmed in California.
i’m pretty sure the emu meat has been a rumor for years. i remember seeing it being joked about on the internet around 2012
I remember talking about it myself even before that
I am so excited for this!!! Can’t believe you traveled to the Arctic for us though!
Whenever my family and I have gone to Disneyland in recent years and visited California Adventure we always end up seeing Francisco the cat at least once on all of our trips! Cool finally knowing the name of the familiar cat face we see every time we go!
"The liberation of Minnie Mouse... a fictional character..." It... it was a self aware joke, man.
29:37 to quote another Disney character, “Like fire! Hellfire!”
The ghost videos were actually a subconscious way to bring more attention to the parks. All the ghost "sightings" were made during one of the low times of the Disney parks.
I think the Zachary Levi interview is from 2017ish, and the "emu meat" urban legend is from at LEAST 2013, because it was mentioned in the movie ESCAPE FROM TOMORROW. That was the first time I'd heard that, and part of me wonders if that's where the rumour started? That movie is full of all kinds of ridiculous things like that, so I can't imagine anyone taking any part of it seriously, but stranger things have happened I guess.
Lafette! I love listen/watching your videos as I do things around the house and this one kept me going for a while, I’ll probably watch this at least two more times this week. I’ve been subscribed for a while now but I never seem to watch your videos when their recent so I was super excited when I saw a new release that was so long! Thanks for another great video
P l e a s e do a video about Escape from Tomorrow, that sounds so fascinating! It'd also be cool if they had more lore about Lafitte sprinkled throughout the parks, maybe put his portrait on some sandals or something, lol
Jenny Nicholson has a good vid on escape from tomorrow!
When I was little, America Sings was one of my favorite attractions.
I've seen the video about it. It looked great.
I fully believe the George story in the sense that I fully believe that the ride would work better or worse depending on if the opening and closing CM said good morning/good bye, but not in the sense that a ghost is responsible. A cast member that says good morning/goodbye is a cast member that is attentive to security checklists and respects the routine (since the good morning/goodbye thing would be part of the routine), hence the ride working better or worse that day.
“Lafitte sandals!” 😉 I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Great job editing and narrating! I had no idea about the 2-color lightbulb. I’ll look for it in December when we go back to DL. 😊👍🏻 keep making these “movie length” videos!
Hunting down the poachers was one of the best theme park storylines I’ve ever experienced. I can still distinctly hear the radio calls and shots in my brain knowing that the game wardens saved that little baby. Personally I thought it was badass but definitely too much for Disney.
48:22 has to be your best written/executed joke.
I remember the enchanted Tiki room when I was super young. I remember all of the classic birds there Iago Zazu, etc. and I remember the God coming out of the centerpiece. I don’t know why they took it out it was rad as hell
My uncle told me a story where he trolled the Epcot phone booths: he sat across the street from the phones, and called them, then asked whoever answered (in a Cockney accent) if they would go into the pub across the street and get his food
I've been to Club 33 and it seems to also have a little bit of a ghost theme, similar to the Haunted Mansion and the Tower of Terror. The pictures on the walls will sometimes move and some of the instruments will start being played by "ghosts".
I always wanted Disney to turn the Cats in Disneyland into an actual story. Done with original drawn animation. I always thought that would have been neat to see a group of cats go through an adventure in Disneyland and see how the park and its attractions would fit into their world.
I once saw a rocket taking off from Vandenberg Air Force Base near Santa Barbara while I was in line for Space Mountain in Anaheim. Heck, a few times I saw those from my old house north of San Diego.
Why did you have to bring up the almost Atlantis ride? It still makes me sad to think about it. I love Atlantis! An underrated gem💙
Atlantis and Treasure Planet are two underrated gems.
18:26 if it is actually a real skull. Then it might be a request of the family to leave it in the ride as a way to honor his legacy (imagine your great great grandfathers skull is notable for being the only real body part in the pirates ride (that’s a nice family heirloom you can show people and not worry about it being stolen)
I worked in maintenance at Pirates in 2011 and some of the guys I worked with said they have seen him and he just watches them work. I haven't seen him my self but if it isn't true it's still fun.
I love the legendary Disneyland ghost stories. Adds to the immersive feeling and magic
I would be very interested in an Escape from Tomorrow video
one time on my birthday i went to epcot and one of the cast members saw the birthday pin i had and told me to go to the epcot phone booths and pick up the phone. then there was a recorded message from goofy saying happy birthday. i remember thinking it was really cool
I really love your work offhand Disney keep the amazing work up this is so amazing
20:28
I actually think it’s referring to the scary Snow White Adventures night ride where the ride does end with the evil queen tipping a large boulder(or giant gem) on top of you.
You should definitely read Mouse Tails and Even More Mouse Tails. Go in depth on some of the crazier Disney bits.
Look up Jeepers! in MI. Kind of a Chuck E Cheese in a mall. I rode the mall ride that beheaded an employee. We all just kinda quietly let them shut the doors for good. We didn't wanna go back. Now the whole mall is dead. Even the Sears. If you're from MI, IYKYK.
Magic Kingdom DOES still have a tour of the Utilidoors. Its is part of the Keys to the Kingdon tour although most tours have been suspended due to the pandemic.
42:11 -- It's unlikely they're referring to this, but at one point there was a rumor that a Ratatouille attraction was going to replace Mulholland Madness at California Adventure, before it was ultimately rethemed to Goofy's Sky School. At the time, I remember an executive saying that "Ratatouille" was "not a franchise" and not to expect any attractions based on it. (That person was obviously wrong in the long run.)
When I went to California Adventure solo a few years ago I went on space mountain and they sat some red head dude next to me and I about crapped my pants but he was still there at the end of the ride lmao
Mr.Two way
Mr. One ways brother, mr. 2 way.
Lafeet sandals. No matter how long it takes you to make a video it will always be a banger. After 2+ years of watching the quality has only gone up. Great video
the yippies were so close to having it. so close.
giving native dancers a fair wage is a totally reasonable thing to ask for! but then they had to do the minnie mouse thing, totally screwing up their credibility....
Right?? And even retheming the pancake house to something neutral is realistic.
One of my friends worked at club 33 and they met some famous people like voice actors of characters. One of the people was the voice actor of Woody
As someone who used to single ride space mountain frequently I actually have seen mr one way!! He didn’t speak to me but he seems very nice. He had red hair and a beard, and he looked like he was wearing a flannel. It was a bit hard to see him but I noticed him when I was actually inside and I was really excited I finally got to be graced by his presence.
I used to be a dishwasher for Inn Between employee restaurant behind space mountain. I miss it but i was getting paid 9.60 an hour at the time. It would be nice to work in the park I enjoyed going back as an adult recently.
I absolutely love that you mentioned the Kingdom Keepers novels!!
What I find ironic is that one of the birds at the tiki room under new management had two animatronics one normal and one injured after being hurt during the shows story and the normal one was burnt. 😂
The Disney secret service one 41: 23 is actually true! My aunt worked at Disneyland and she got to spy on ride operators to make sure they did their job. Checking seatbelts, securing bars, etc. She was called an auditor, and I actually helped by watching people too. She doesn't do it anymore though because you have to quit after a while so people don't start recognizing you.
36:44 made me laugh harder than I should 😂
In regards to George, I don’t know whether to believe it or not but I will say that pre-internet Disney was very *very* good at covering those kinds of accidents up
Lafite and sandals. My boyfriend and I were just at Disneyland and we kept saying Lafite! Lafite’s landing no matter where we were in New Orleans square.
33:13 keeps making me laugh help
this was so fun to watch. i love the videos like this :) lafitte and sandals
My one George story is asking the cast that closes out the day on Pirates. They didn’t know anything about having to say Good Night George or even the story of him. So, nope
Lafitte's sandles~ Thank you for such a great video!
I got to go on Kilimanjaro Safari recently (Nov 2022) and I was rather saddened to see a lot of things removed. The rickety bridge that shook back and forth no longer does so, it’s just a bridge, there’s no more elements of poachers besides a warning that builds to nothing, a few elements of the ride either aren’t in use or have been removed, the story is just gone (as stated), but a lot of the set up is still there. Makes it feel very… empty. Animals are still cool, truck is still the truck, but it misses some of that Disney charm.
Wonderful video! A lot I knew, but totally forgot about. I guess the information was sitting dormant in the back of my brain! Thanks again Dallin!
Come on Disney, build a theme park in Denver! We need a 3rd park in the middle of the US!
Escape from Tomorrow was filmed at both Disneyworld and Disneyland using a guerilla film making style. Disney would allow the film maker to film his movie so he did it on the sly. We made a drinking game out of this. We took a shot for every every scene that was actually film at Disneyland. The teacups footage you used is actually Disneyland since Disneyworld's Teacups are covered.
As of 2 years ago you could take a tour called Keys to the Kingdom and visit the Utilidors.
Maybe they stopped the tour due to the Pandemic. The corridors arent big enough to do social Distancing.
Thank you for sharing Lafitte's sandals. They were amazing. I always thought he wore boots. But, what do I know? Good bye.
All those "ghost" videos at Disneyland were just viral marketing - Chris Cantwell (creator of Halt & Catch Fire) tweeted about how he and others did it, back in June 2020! (Jean Lafitte in sandals)
LaFeet in the Sandals! LoL this was fun. look forward to your next content and also hoping on your review of the upcoming Muppet Haunted Mansion.
fairly sure the madam leota one is about the book that mysteriously showed up on the table or something like that.
For 13 years now Universal has had expectations on par with Disney as far as quality. In 2010 they added Forbidden Journey and Hogsmead which is Disney quality. In 2014 they added Diagon Alley and Escape from Gringotts. From 2015 to 2018 they built Skull Island, Supercharged and Race through NY, which failed to meet the Disney expectations and Universal took a lot of heat. Since then they have built Velocicoaster and Hagrid's. Thats 13 years of Disney level expectations.
As a themepark enthusiasts who visits WDW, Univerdal Orlando, Disneyland, Universal Hollywood, Knotts, and Magic Mountain, Universal is almost certainly on trajectory to be the clear best theme park company in the next 10 years.
Emu Meat:
Yeah, okay, so it's unlikely, but it's not outside the bounds of possibility. Emu meat is often available in Australian supermarkets for human consumption, after all. However, if they WERE going to offer it at Disney, I suspect it would cost a whole lot more ... and be intended to feed a family of 6. "The drumsticks produce about 3.5 kg of meat and the thigh cuts (rump and fillet) about 5 kg."
Galaxy's Edge Coverup:
Offhand Disney: I guess it's just Disney fans love to hate on Disney.
Me: Sure ... but Star Wars fans love to hate on Star Wars, so there's that.
The movie shot in the park without permission reminds me of another movie that was shot in Ikeas where there are staged rooms. That film was also made without Ikea's permission. Wonder if it's the same filmmakers lol.
