What I like about Chris, compared to some other Disney Parks vloggers, is that he's just there to share information and great advice. He's always gracious with his fans, he's polite, and he doesn't block traffic to do a selfie. Heck, even his backpack strap over his left shoulder is frayed, showing he's more worried about the content than how he appears on video. He's like an old fashioned reporter! Thanks for the great work and appreciate the videos.
I didn't know about this until I read it in The Disneyland Encylopedia Version 4. This deep dive fact into Disney is quite remarkable and something else.
You forgot to mention the Plaza Inn restaurant. They have the best fried chicken! Even if they have a long line, it does not take very long to get in and they have a lot of seating inside and out side. It’s at the end of Main Street on the right hand sidebetween first aid and star tour
Hi Chris! I met you while you were filming this video, right at the entrance to Frontierland. I was with my family and you can see us in the video briefly before you stopped filming. You were so gracious to give me a few minutes of your time-we took a few photos, we talked about your recent Disneyland Paris videos and you gave me some tips on how to book cheap flights. Thank you so much being so kind and amazing! Love PPP!!! 💙💚
My favorite part of this video is how many times you get stopped and you say “oh, hi!” You must be the happiest, friendliest person ever, exactly the type of person that should be in Disneyland!
They say you shouldn't meet your idols, but when I met Chris a while back he was legitimately the kindest, most considerate person. I had been looking out for him and I couldn't believe I spotted him. He took a picture with me, entertained by babbling, and then I went on Jungle Cruise and cried because he was just so nice (and I also knew he'd laugh just as hard as I did about the pun jokes). It was better than meeting any of the princesses 😂
I met Chris last October at the Castle Inn & Suites when he was with his parents... He stopped and took the time to visit with me and my family and introduced his parents to us. He really is as nice as he appears in his videos!
He really is the friendliest person. I saw him eating and just wanted to say and told him I know he was eating and didn’t want to bother him and went to turn away and he was like “no let’s get a photo!” 10/10 nicest person ever.
Mammoth first then space mtn, then thunder mtn railroad, (remember pirates is never busy after fireworks 9:pm-close). Haunted mansion also after 9:pm. Enjoy. Best place ever.
Disneyland’s castle may not be the grandest, but it’s full of nostalgia….its the castle that gives you the warm fuzzies that only the sentimental folks can understand. ❤.
I think when people state that the Disneyland castle is so small they don’t understand perspective. Imagine Disneyland having a bigger castle like Magic Kingdom’s. How weird would it look to have a castle as big as the Matterhorn? 🏰 🏔️ Sleeping Beauty Castle is fine the way it is 😊
And what will you find as you enter into fantasy land? If it is still there there was a brass spike in the brick work representing the center of Disneyland.
He looked like he expected Disney's Orbital Drop Shocktroopers to suddenly drop from the sky. Or Disney Security in dark shades to sudden come out of plain clothes hiding & ask him to follow them to the Team Disney building for 'reprogramming': "Mr. Provost... Mr. Josh D'Amaro would like to have a word with you in private. Yes, ve insists."
You completely skipped our families favorite resturant....Plaza Inn! My husband and I were born in 1952 and love old style fried chicken and mashed potatoes and gravy. If we are in DL for 3 days, we eat there for 3 days. Love the cafeteria style and desserts. Our grandkids eat elsewhere but we love it.
Thank you so much for taking a moment to talk to us who are very ill and we feel like there’s no light at the end of the tunnel. A daily struggle when everything hurts. But your message made me really happy, it made me cry. I enjoy your videos and live vicariously through them. Thank you so much for caring and telling us we matter and we’re very important.
I almost don't want to post this because its a hidden gem, but exit the park and go the pool house at the grand californian. There is never a crowd, counter service comfort foods (meant to carry poolside) but always indoor and air conditioned tables inside and freshly made (and actually hot) food.
Your interaction with the Storm Troopers had to have been so fun. I had fun with them during my visit there in 2022. I was enjoying one of those blue or green milks they have there and 2 of the Storm Troopers came up to me asking me questions about what I was drinking and one started to act like he was going to get sick. I was already in awe of being in the park and being immersed in the Star Wars area and the experience was topped off by that interaction with 2 of the Storm Troopers. So cool Chris. Oh yeah I had 2 of those cauliflower tacos along with a chicken taco. I make sometimes make cauliflower tacos at home. I'll roast the cauliflower florets seasoned with mexican seasonings for a taco. Or I'll rice the cauliflower with similar seasonings for either a taco or burrito.
@@provostparkpassI absolutely love your videos I’ve been watching them for almost 2 years! I live about 15 minutes away from Disney land in a small city called Stanton! I absolutely love how you stop showing people around to focus on US and how you tell us how amazing We are! I struggle with depression especially since my mom passed away the day after thanksgiving 2021 and i also struggle with chronic pain issues with both my shoulders due to bone on bone from pushing a manual wheelchair all my life. I’m going in 52 in October and I just feel like a little kid because of my depression but you make my day a bit better every time I watch your videos.and it helps me a little when I hear that! Thank you for what you do and I hope to meet you someday!
@@provostparkpass LOVED watching your interaction with the Stormtroopers! That was really cool! (And I'm not even a Star Wars fan, so I can imagine how exciting that was for you) My 7-year-old grandson on his first visit to Disney last month got to have a conversation with them too. It was awesome! They came up to him and asked him if he had seen the intruder, and told him to keep his eyes open for them. And then gave him a fistbump. :)
There are electric outlets in the walls upstairs at the Golden Horseshoe so I always plug in and charge my cell phone while I watch the show and cool off
I guess Chris is not much of a desert eater because they've had *interesting* desserts, not so much right now. And he glossed over the live entertainment they have - not a country music fan?
We ask for extra plates, use them to cover the skewers and head over to one of the other restaurants with better seating. Works 1/2 the time. Other half we share the top of a trashcan as a table with strangers. Seating is an issue.
My husband of 40 years took me to Disneyland on one of our first dates and made sure we had reservations for the Blue Bayou and our table would be right by the water. It was magical. What a wonderful day off from work! Wednesday’s are the best time to go.
I'm a Disneyland veteran from 1955. (I wasn't there on opening day, but a couple of months later.) My favorite restaurant was the Chicken of the Sea tuna boat in Fantasyland. I still miss it.
I'm a Disneyland kid of the 50's as well. I have very fond memories of the early years and those "teenager" nights with all the bands. Visits were great through the mid 90's but the experience has become increasingly disappointing and I've finally stopped purchasing Annual Passes. The overcrowding, price gouging, and long lines finally ended my desire to visit the park.
@@ginawiggles918Been going since the early 80s and I have to say the price gouging is really wearing on me and diminishing the experience. It’s not even the total cost that gets me, as it’s always been expensive. It’s the truly shamelessness of it, especially with the individual lightening lanes you have to buy on top of the Genie+. Ugh.
Thank you for the message near the end. I needed that today. I really appreciate your videos. I'll be at Disneyland Paris in 29 days! I'll rewatch your DP videos to make sure I'm all caught up.
I really appreciate that you take the time to stop and interact with your fans! You truly are a genuine, kind person. I hope one day to see you in the parks! Thank you for all the great content you share and for all the effort you put into your videos. I'm going to DL today and will try one of the places you mentioned here for the first time! Some places, i didn't even know existed! There are some hidden gems! Thank you, Chris! 😊
Hi Chris !! I just wanted to thank you for your videos and all of the hard work that you put into them. I “discovered” you through seeing you pop up in Ordinary Adventures videos. (I feel very comfortable with Peter and Kitra and I feel like, if THEY like you you must be a nice guy.) I started watching YOUR videos and I really enjoy them. It’s nice to “spend time” with you and your Wife and Son. Thank you for your continued encouragement and support to each person in your audience. ❤ Sending you (3) bunches of love.❤❤
Chris, I don't normally watch theme park videos (working at one, it's just a bit much for me sometimes to watch vlogs about them lol), but I clicked this because I've thought you were awesome since meeting you at Salt Lake FanX back in 2015. I was kind of just listening with this in the background and agreeing or disagreeing with you, and then suddenly you did the heartfelt motivational moment after Pizza Planet and I stopped dead in my tracks and went back to that moment. Thank you. I hope you're doing well and that you know that you matter too.
I would love to see you do a historical video along the lines of "This is where this ride used to be and this is the evolution of this space ever since" or do the same for restaurants, etc. Disneyland history is really fascinating! ❤❤❤
I have my husband a hallmark tree ornament of a storm trooper that is also an alert for anyone sneaking at gifts under the tree both my husband and kitty would set it off. It one of our best Disney/Star Wars ornament 😂❤
I was so excited to get one of those after watching one of Chris' videos and when I found them at the Candy Palace on Main Street I rushed in and got one for myself and my grandson. They were YUMMY!!!! That's one thing I'm missing right now.....I wish I could've ordered a bunch to bring home with me.
Provost Park Pass is such an awesome human. I remember the first video I watched was his bathrooms in Disneyland video and my sister and I took note of the private bathroom in Hungry Bear in case we needed to throw up from eating too many churros 😂 That didn't happen luckily (the throwing up -we DID still eat too many churros and destroy our mouths, ouch). But now we are big Park Pass fans and even had the absolute pleasure of meeting Chris at the airport once! He was so kind and took pictures with us and even chatted and asked questions about our trip. He was so genuine and you can see that in his videos as well! Thanks so much Chris!!
Hi Chris I’m talking to you,this vlog was great fun to watch especially when you were interacting with the Storm Troopers. I have taken your advice in years gone bye regarding eating at Disneyland and have found it to be very helpful. We always visit Cafe Orleans to have a Monti Cristo sandwich. All the best to you. Keith (Southampton UK )
Chris….. I just have to tell you, seriously, thank you for just being you. You are one of the most positive people God summoned to our beautiful planet. Love you brother. I look forward to our energies meeting in person. -Brady
Chris!! Thank you so much for what you show us!! It’s truly like traveling with you!! I appreciate your guidance so much on all the theme parks / places you take us! I feel so prepared when I make that trip!! God Bless You!!! ❤
About 10-12 years ago, the French Market had a crazy delicious Roast Beef Royale platter that came with tender, sliced beef with gravy, onion mashed potatoes, steamed veggies and cornbread for $13.49. It was an absolute fire deal for quick service.
Our family loves Pizza Planet, I can’t believe it’s the one you recommended the least!! We also love The Hungry Bear. Some great food options in Disney !! Thanks for another great video
When our family of five did our first trip to Disneyland in 2010, we arrived mid-afternoon, rode a couple rides, and our first meal at the resort was Rancho del Zocalo... we were AMAZED at the length to which the staff were willing to go to accommodate dietary restrictions, and they had great food!
My daughter & I really love going to Harbor Galley for the tuna salad on a brioche bun! It always comes with a dill pickle spear & a bag of kettle chips. It’s a delicious lunch & a great value!
Thank you for your videos. I love to have them playing in my office while I’m working. Disney has always been special to me. I love how you navigate through the park and chat to us as you go. And your moments when you talk directly to us and tell us it will get better almost always make me cry in a good way. Thank you. You make the world a better place. ❤
Thank you as always for your videos, so fun and educational and always positive!! I just called getawaytoday for help with tickets for an upcoming trip (mentioned you guys of course😊) and you are right, they are very nice and so helpful. We will def use them in the future for our Disney plans! 🤗
Rancho zocalo is my very favorite!!! The Ceasar salad and roasted chicken platter are both really healthy options and are delicious! Bengal BBQ is another favorite!!
IDEA for video: I think you've done it before but might be good to again do "Top places to get out of the heat and sun" because it's summer and can be brutal there some days. At DCA, we loved Art of Animation, so fun and in the AC! Turtle Talk is also in the AC and fun. Gift shops have AC, too. Some rides have mostly indoor lines and the ride is indoors, so cooler, too. That kind of thing.
A hack I've seen is people will get the garlic pretzel roll from edelweiss snacks and then go to Bengal Bbq and get a skewer. They then make a sandwich with it. On another note, I was very distracted by your backpack and would love to fix that for you. I live not too far from you so it wouldn't be a big deal.
Red Rose is awesome for Breakfast. I prefer it over Carnation’s breakfast. The best part is you don’t need a reservation or having to get on the Wait-list. Our kids love the Mickey pancakes! We usually go at 10am after visiting Fantasyland rides to maximize our day. 😎✌️
The Pizza Port was our go to for sharable food with the kiddos. Pasta... Salads... garlic bread sticks. ALL were perfect for buying basically one meal to feed 2 1/2 or 3 peoples. Shady seating too!! Haven't been back post covid... hate to hear it's lost its' mojo.
Alien Pizza Planet is fine. It's designed for efficiency & volume service. The food & pizza is okay but Cafe Daisy's Pepperoni Pizza Flop-over beats the living daylights out of it.
Thank you for my daily dose of Disney. It's been so long since I've gone but I know I'm going to be there real soon (🤞🏻) I love your content! You're like the Mr. Rogers of Disney Content bringing joy and uplifting people's spirits. Thank you!
Thank you so much Chris for seeing my favorite place, I miss it SO much but enjoy your videos brings back that wonderful feeling I get when I am there. If you ever need a companion to go with, I am available!!!❤
I have 5 kids. My family favorite used to Bengal BBQ, getting the skewers. They were reasonably priced and easy to share. Over time though they've gotten more expensive and don't seem to be much food, so I don't like them as much anymore. They still TASTE great... but the value isn't what it once was. The Corn Dogs are still pretty good though. We mostly just look for options to share larger meals or just accept that the price is what it is. I"m with you on Red Rose too, the atmosphere is cool and the food's pretty good. The running joke in our family is the pizza at Alien Pizza Planet. Which is weird because the pizza at Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta is pretty good.
Hi!!! I just want to leave a compliment for you, for your videos, and also a HUGE thank you for your recommendations, especially regarding snacks!! I took my daughter to Disneyland for the first time at the end of June, for her eighth birthday, and it was a ton of fun. On her actual birthday, we had a Fantasmic dining package and had a great view of the show, but she was super-duper tired when the show ended and so we skipped the fireworks (we had a great view from our hotel room every night, so don’t worry, we definitely saw fireworks during our visit), and walked out of the park in the most efficient way we could figure out. Our path took us right beside one of the candy shops on Main Street, I don’t know which one it was, but she asked if we could pop in and see if they had any Tigger/Tiger Tails there. She loves marshmallow treats, and the only way we knew those things existed was from watching one of your videos. So we slipped in the side door, and there they were, in the display!!!! We had been very worried they wouldn’t be available since critter country is shut down. But they were there, and it was a perfect way to end her birthday. 🎉 thank you, thank you, thank you for recommending that treat. 🧡🖤🧡
Chris you are a great person!!!!! I love your videos!!! I'll be there Thursday Saturday and Sunday. Doing Universal on Saturday I hope I see you walking around!
Carnation Cafe is definitely one of the best. The food and service is always a 10. Flavorwise, Bengal BBQ rice platter is the way to go. And for pizza, the Alien Pizza Planet. AND. . . yes, those breakfast Ronto wraps are REALLY good. First time I tried them, I was expecting NOT to like them. But they were surprisingly good. BUT. . . sometimes when my goal is to get on as many rides for the day, I just run into that store in front of Jungle Cruise, or any of them fruit carts, and just grab a pickle, and pineapple spear, and a water. Sometimes I'll only go on this stuff 2-3 for the day, and I won't get hungry. I just eat this on my way to the next ride. You can never go wrong with a chilled pickle or pineapple spear!
Chris, YOU are amazing man! Taking the time for the positive words, all the times you stopped to talk to people. and even being so kind about the review on Pizza Planet and their weird set up. I hope to see you in the park or Downtown Disney some time and shake your hand.
My 3 favorite food spots are all kind of next to each other...Bengal BBQ, which you mentioned, but the other 2 are Tropical Hideaway and Jolly Holiday. Really great food at all 3 places!
Hi Chris, I would like you to do a video on when you were a kid and how you started going to Disneyland, and you’re favorite rides and when you decided that this would be your future job!
The food all looks soooo good in Disneyland! As a vegetarian I definitely wouldn't have any trouble finding food there! Appreciate your in depth tours of everywhere 😊
Rancho Del Zocalo has some great Mexican food and I haven't eaten there in quite a while. Until you mentioned about the spice in their food, I remember it being that way. My favorite food to get there is the create your own burrito bowl. This place has some unique areas to sit and people watch. One bad memory I have experiencing this place is I lost the physical copy of my Disneyland ticket and I had to run back to City Hall and get a new one. I will never forget this memory.
Carnation Cafe favorite place to eat at Disneyland since it opened in 1955. Great place for date night dance parties with the teenage HS grads in the mid 60s!
You must love that backpack!? That strap has seen better days. ;) Don't forget that Doritos was started at the Casa de Fritos. Great and informative vid Chris! Thanks!
Definitely get the Lobster Roll at Harbour Galley!!! Big chunks of Lobster and good price for the amount you get. And get plenty of napkins. But I'm still sad they got rid of the Ravioli at Boardwalk Pizza in DCA.
We ended up doing the summer deal. So for a family of four for 3 days, saves us up to $400 as opposed to going in November like we had originally planned, for only 2 days! So we saved $400 and got an extra day. Can't beat it!
Long time former Disney employee here. Excellent videos and breakdowns of the various food choices at the park. I think he captures the essence of the park and seating options very well. Great job. Ps. Love the stormtroopers as well. lol.
What's great about the Hungry Bear Restaurant is that it's right on the water and gives the kids a lot to look at while you're eating. Ducks and birds gliding by. Keeps them busy.
Chris, what you said about the Disney Caste is me with the Falcon. I never get tired of seeing it. I absolutely LOVE LOVE IT. And you interaction with the Stormtroopers was EPIC. I been waiting for secrets reveal of Rise and Smugglers Run. Also have you ever posted the video that you said you been working on for 2 years? I'm excited to see that. Several months ago you talk about it real quick then I left for a cruise and never saw it. Then told me probably coming out in a couple weeks then your Walt Disney World stay happen and then your Euro trip happened. So I don't know if I missed it or you still haven't posted it yet.
My go-to restaurant since I've been going regularly since 1990 is The Plaza Inn for the Yankee Pot Roast! For the cost and portions, it's always been on point! The chicken is good also. PLUS, only place you can get free coffee refills in the park! Hungry Bear is my 2nd go-to mainly for the ambience, sitting river side and people watching.
When I graduated high school Pirates, Haunted Mansion and Small World had JUST opened. Our grad night was spent at Disneyland.....all night. I had dinner at Blue Bayou and wow was it good. All these years later I still remember. It was a wild rice stuffed chicken breast........where has the time gone? I heard they closed my other favorite....The Tahitian Terrace ......it was in Adventure Land. I used to order the chicken salad that was served in a pineapple boat....delicious and there was a terrific Polynesian dance show .
Chris your videos are so great, and have inspired me to embrace my love of Disneyland! My solo trip is almost here!!! I’ll be at Disneyland on 7/29,7/30,7/31, and 8/1. Please tell me that you’ll go on at least one of those days!! Lol. I’d love to say hi to you tell you how awesome you are!!
I will not give up. Thank you for that and thank you for this video. I'm planning a dream vacation for mom, dad & brother for Christmas. I'm looking for recommendations on places to eat. Places look sweet! We haven't been to Disneyland in about 20 years. So I'm making this vacation a sweet, memorable experience. And I'm getting reservations at Grand Californian Hotel.
Four of us shared the Garlic Pretzel Bread at the Edelweiss and we were all craving it again the next night. 😄 My daughter had the Red Rose Lemonade drink at Red Rose Taverne and that was very refreshing with a nice flavor. I absolutely loved the corndogs at Stage Door Cafe. So good!
Mr. Povost - thank for this vlog. Good to know the various meal options and where to find those special specific treats! ♥U❣ NOTE: I appreciate your silly humor, as well.😂
Wonderful video summary - thank you. Agree with you on Carnation Cafe breakfast which we always do and is awesome. We also have liked Cafe Orleans. The Golden Horseshoe has a funny show so if you time your visit you will have a nice added memory of your day at Disneyland! The Golden Horseshoe has yummy rootbeer floats for a hot day. Walt Disney had his own private table next to the stage, which is still there and a fun piece of Disney history.
What I like about Chris, compared to some other Disney Parks vloggers, is that he's just there to share information and great advice. He's always gracious with his fans, he's polite, and he doesn't block traffic to do a selfie. Heck, even his backpack strap over his left shoulder is frayed, showing he's more worried about the content than how he appears on video. He's like an old fashioned reporter! Thanks for the great work and appreciate the videos.
Wow, thanks!
we want you video one of your fave trips out to eat and the food at your table
Rancho Del Zocalo is the location where Doritos were invented, back when it was still called Casa de Fritos in the 1960s.
It has great Mexican food
I totally remember that. It was great Mexican food back then, too!
That is when they did it right. At one point they had a Frito bandito machine that you could get chips from.
I didn't know about this until I read it in The Disneyland Encylopedia Version 4. This deep dive fact into Disney is quite remarkable and something else.

Mammoth first then space mtn, then thunder mtn railroad, (remember pirates is never busy after fireworks 9:pm-close). Haunted mansion also after 9:pm.
Enjoy. Best place ever.
I hope you have fun. Disneyland offered me years of enjoyment. I wish you the best visit.
Have a magical time!

They don't have shows there anymore. 😢 Hopefully they come back some day.
So gather your friends and go find the cancelled performance on line and play it in the site at the same time.
The Bengal BBQ is my absolutely favorite place to eat at Disneyland.
We ask for extra plates, use them to cover the skewers and head over to one of the other restaurants with better seating. Works 1/2 the time. Other half we share the top of a trashcan as a table with strangers. Seating is an issue.
We took our food over to the Harbour Galley cafe, near Haunted Mansion. It's not that far away and there was more seating.
Hey, I noticed that you didn't mention Maurices.
My husband of 40 years took me to Disneyland on one of our first dates and made sure we had reservations for the Blue Bayou and our table would be right by the water. It was magical. What a wonderful day off from work! Wednesday’s are the best time to go.
Blue Bayou *USED* to be magical. Rude (overworked) servers and terrible food has ruined it for me. Very fond memories from the early days though.
@@ginawiggles918 so we need a management change
Wow. That’s an amazing date. Good thing you kept him!
I'm a Disneyland veteran from 1955. (I wasn't there on opening day, but a couple of months later.) My favorite restaurant was the Chicken of the Sea tuna boat in Fantasyland. I still miss it.
I'm a Disneyland kid of the 50's as well. I have very fond memories of the early years and those "teenager" nights with all the bands. Visits were great through the mid 90's but the experience has become increasingly disappointing and I've finally stopped purchasing Annual Passes. The overcrowding, price gouging, and long lines finally ended my desire to visit the park.
And the Skull Rock waterfall!
@@ginawiggles918Been going since the early 80s and I have to say the price gouging is really wearing on me and diminishing the experience. It’s not even the total cost that gets me, as it’s always been expensive. It’s the truly shamelessness of it, especially with the individual lightening lanes you have to buy on top of the Genie+. Ugh.
That ship was a marvel along with skull lagoon
Lmaooo at Chris watching out for a Mickey Mouse glove to sock him in the face when he uttered butter beer 😅
I was nervous 😂😂💚💙
I love those Storm Troopers!!!! 😃😃😃 Very intimidating!! I would've been soooo nervous!!! 😮😮 Great job Chris!!! 👏
Thank you for the message near the end. I needed that today. I really appreciate your videos.
I'll be at Disneyland Paris in 29 days! I'll rewatch your DP videos to make sure I'm all caught up.
All of your videos have helped more than you know. Coming down Sept 9th through the 11th. We hope to see you there. 😃😃
That’s when we are going too! 😊 Have fun!
We need a “Hi! How are you?” count on this one. It’s so sweet every time!
Rancho del Zocalo is always our go-to dinner when we are there.
Ronto-less wraps are probably our favorite thing in the park.
I really appreciate that you take the time to stop and interact with your fans! You truly are a genuine, kind person. I hope one day to see you in the parks! Thank you for all the great content you share and for all the effort you put into your videos. I'm going to DL today and will try one of the places you mentioned here for the first time! Some places, i didn't even know existed! There are some hidden gems! Thank you, Chris! 😊
I am definitely a fan of yours, thank you for sharing!❤
Hi Chris !! I just wanted to thank you for your videos and all of the hard work that you put into them. I “discovered” you through seeing you pop up in Ordinary Adventures videos. (I feel very comfortable with Peter and Kitra and I feel like, if THEY like you you must be a nice guy.)
I started watching YOUR videos and I really enjoy them. It’s nice to “spend time” with you and your Wife and Son.
Thank you for your continued encouragement and support to each person in your audience. ❤
Sending you (3) bunches of love.❤❤
Congrats on the stormtrooper interaction! I could see how happy you were. You are awesome! Thank you for the good video!
Chris, I don't normally watch theme park videos (working at one, it's just a bit much for me sometimes to watch vlogs about them lol), but I clicked this because I've thought you were awesome since meeting you at Salt Lake FanX back in 2015. I was kind of just listening with this in the background and agreeing or disagreeing with you, and then suddenly you did the heartfelt motivational moment after Pizza Planet and I stopped dead in my tracks and went back to that moment. Thank you. I hope you're doing well and that you know that you matter too.
I would love to see you do a historical video along the lines of "This is where this ride used to be and this is the evolution of this space ever since" or do the same for restaurants, etc. Disneyland history is really fascinating! ❤❤❤
You should check out Yesterland then. They have a lot of historical photos and will give you the evolution of the ride or the space.
@@FMesserer512 I look at that site all the time, I just would like to see Chris' take on some of that stuff. ♥
All I could think about is Chris' frayed backpack strap. I wonder what happened, the stories it holds. Moreso I wonder how long it'll hold on.
I noticed it too 😂
Yep, the man puts in travel miles pounding Disneyland pavement
i thought it was a little clip on troll or furbie
I have my husband a hallmark tree ornament of a storm trooper that is also an alert for anyone sneaking at gifts under the tree both my husband and kitty would set it off. It one of our best Disney/Star Wars ornament 😂❤
In case you hadn't noticed Chris, the Candy Palace on Main St is selling Tigger Tails while Critter Country is under refurb.
I was so excited to get one of those after watching one of Chris' videos and when I found them at the Candy Palace on Main Street I rushed in and got one for myself and my grandson. They were YUMMY!!!! That's one thing I'm missing right now.....I wish I could've ordered a bunch to bring home with me.
Provost Park Pass is such an awesome human. I remember the first video I watched was his bathrooms in Disneyland video and my sister and I took note of the private bathroom in Hungry Bear in case we needed to throw up from eating too many churros 😂 That didn't happen luckily (the throwing up -we DID still eat too many churros and destroy our mouths, ouch). But now we are big Park Pass fans and even had the absolute pleasure of meeting Chris at the airport once! He was so kind and took pictures with us and even chatted and asked questions about our trip. He was so genuine and you can see that in his videos as well! Thanks so much Chris!!
Hi Chris
I’m talking to you,this vlog was great fun to watch especially when you were interacting with the Storm Troopers.
I have taken your advice in years gone bye regarding eating at Disneyland and have found it to be very helpful.
We always visit Cafe Orleans to have a Monti Cristo sandwich.
All the best to you.
Keith (Southampton UK )
We would love a video on your recommendations for the restaurants in downtown Disney! Love your videos!!
Chris….. I just have to tell you, seriously, thank you for just being you. You are one of the most positive people God summoned to our beautiful planet. Love you brother. I look forward to our energies meeting in person.
-Brady
Chris!! Thank you so much for what you show us!! It’s truly like traveling with you!! I appreciate your guidance so much on all the theme parks / places you take us! I feel so prepared when I make that trip!! God Bless You!!! ❤
Absolutely loved your interaction with the Stormtroopers, it's one of the best that I've seen! What fun that must have been 😀
About 10-12 years ago, the French Market had a crazy delicious Roast Beef Royale platter that came with tender, sliced beef with gravy, onion mashed potatoes, steamed veggies and cornbread for $13.49. It was an absolute fire deal for quick service.
I loved this and subscribed yes I am going thru a lot of everything thank you Sir Chris
Our family loves Pizza Planet, I can’t believe it’s the one you recommended the least!! We also love The Hungry Bear. Some great food options in Disney !! Thanks for another great video
When our family of five did our first trip to Disneyland in 2010, we arrived mid-afternoon, rode a couple rides, and our first meal at the resort was Rancho del Zocalo... we were AMAZED at the length to which the staff were willing to go to accommodate dietary restrictions, and they had great food!
Storm trooper interaction…AMAZING!
My daughter & I really love going to Harbor Galley for the tuna salad on a brioche bun! It always comes with a dill pickle spear & a bag of kettle chips. It’s a delicious lunch & a great value!
Thank you for your videos. I love to have them playing in my office while I’m working. Disney has always been special to me. I love how you navigate through the park and chat to us as you go. And your moments when you talk directly to us and tell us it will get better almost always make me cry in a good way. Thank you. You make the world a better place. ❤
Royal street veranda: “nothing to heavy”……bread bowl: “hold my drink” 😂😂
Thank you as always for your videos, so fun and educational and always positive!! I just called getawaytoday for help with tickets for an upcoming trip (mentioned you guys of course😊) and you are right, they are very nice and so helpful. We will def use them in the future for our Disney plans! 🤗
Rancho zocalo is my very favorite!!! The Ceasar salad and roasted chicken platter are both really healthy options and are delicious! Bengal BBQ is another favorite!!
Also a good place to find an outlet to charge phones
You are an amazing human being, Mr. Chris. Bless you
Thank you 💚💙
I love the Ronto-less garden wrap 😋
IDEA for video: I think you've done it before but might be good to again do "Top places to get out of the heat and sun" because it's summer and can be brutal there some days. At DCA, we loved Art of Animation, so fun and in the AC! Turtle Talk is also in the AC and fun. Gift shops have AC, too. Some rides have mostly indoor lines and the ride is indoors, so cooler, too. That kind of thing.
Thanks for the kind words at the end of each of your videos, bro!
A hack I've seen is people will get the garlic pretzel roll from edelweiss snacks and then go to Bengal Bbq and get a skewer. They then make a sandwich with it. On another note, I was very distracted by your backpack and would love to fix that for you. I live not too far from you so it wouldn't be a big deal.
That’s a great idea!!! So trying this next time I go!
Red Rose is awesome for Breakfast. I prefer it over Carnation’s breakfast. The best part is you don’t need a reservation or having to get on the Wait-list. Our kids love the Mickey pancakes! We usually go at 10am after visiting Fantasyland rides to maximize our day. 😎✌️
The Pizza Port was our go to for sharable food with the kiddos. Pasta... Salads... garlic bread sticks. ALL were perfect for buying basically one meal to feed 2 1/2 or 3 peoples. Shady seating too!! Haven't been back post covid... hate to hear it's lost its' mojo.
Alien Pizza Planet is fine. It's designed for efficiency & volume service. The food & pizza is okay but Cafe Daisy's Pepperoni Pizza Flop-over beats the living daylights out of it.
They still have the chicken pasta and garlic breadsticks, which is what I had last time and split with my son.
Thank you for my daily dose of Disney. It's been so long since I've gone but I know I'm going to be there real soon (🤞🏻) I love your content! You're like the Mr. Rogers of Disney Content bringing joy and uplifting people's spirits. Thank you!
Thank you so much Chris for seeing my favorite place, I miss it SO much but enjoy your videos brings back that wonderful feeling I get when I am there. If you ever need a companion to go with, I am available!!!❤
I have 5 kids. My family favorite used to Bengal BBQ, getting the skewers. They were reasonably priced and easy to share. Over time though they've gotten more expensive and don't seem to be much food, so I don't like them as much anymore. They still TASTE great... but the value isn't what it once was. The Corn Dogs are still pretty good though. We mostly just look for options to share larger meals or just accept that the price is what it is. I"m with you on Red Rose too, the atmosphere is cool and the food's pretty good. The running joke in our family is the pizza at Alien Pizza Planet. Which is weird because the pizza at Boardwalk Pizza & Pasta is pretty good.
That was great how the storm troopers interacted with you.
Hi!!! I just want to leave a compliment for you, for your videos, and also a HUGE thank you for your recommendations, especially regarding snacks!! I took my daughter to Disneyland for the first time at the end of June, for her eighth birthday, and it was a ton of fun. On her actual birthday, we had a Fantasmic dining package and had a great view of the show, but she was super-duper tired when the show ended and so we skipped the fireworks (we had a great view from our hotel room every night, so don’t worry, we definitely saw fireworks during our visit), and walked out of the park in the most efficient way we could figure out. Our path took us right beside one of the candy shops on Main Street, I don’t know which one it was, but she asked if we could pop in and see if they had any Tigger/Tiger Tails there. She loves marshmallow treats, and the only way we knew those things existed was from watching one of your videos. So we slipped in the side door, and there they were, in the display!!!! We had been very worried they wouldn’t be available since critter country is shut down. But they were there, and it was a perfect way to end her birthday. 🎉 thank you, thank you, thank you for recommending that treat. 🧡🖤🧡
I enjoy your attitude. You are inspiring, humble, and bring me hope that life will get better.
I love the Disneyland castle and how it looks tucked behind the tree. It feels so much more immersive in Disneyland.
Can't wait to go. My son turns 8, and he'll be waking up to the joys chaos and magic of disney lol in 2 weeks exactly ❤🎉😊
That is awesome!
Loved this one, thank you! I love everything about Disneyland original👏🏻💕🙏🏼🥰🥰
Plaza inn is our go to! Relaxing, indoor at outdoor seating, delicious fried chicken and salads made to order. And never a long wait!
Chris you are a great person!!!!! I love your videos!!! I'll be there Thursday Saturday and Sunday. Doing Universal on Saturday I hope I see you walking around!
Carnation Cafe is definitely one of the best. The food and service is always a 10.
Flavorwise, Bengal BBQ rice platter is the way to go.
And for pizza, the Alien Pizza Planet.
AND. . . yes, those breakfast Ronto wraps are REALLY good. First time I tried them, I was expecting NOT to like them. But they were surprisingly good.
BUT. . . sometimes when my goal is to get on as many rides for the day, I just run into that store in front of Jungle Cruise, or any of them fruit carts, and just grab a pickle, and pineapple spear, and a water. Sometimes I'll only go on this stuff 2-3 for the day, and I won't get hungry. I just eat this on my way to the next ride. You can never go wrong with a chilled pickle or pineapple spear!
Chris, YOU are amazing man! Taking the time for the positive words, all the times you stopped to talk to people. and even being so kind about the review on Pizza Planet and their weird set up. I hope to see you in the park or Downtown Disney some time and shake your hand.
My 3 favorite food spots are all kind of next to each other...Bengal BBQ, which you mentioned, but the other 2 are Tropical Hideaway and Jolly Holiday. Really great food at all 3 places!
Tropical hideaway a must for a dole float and lumpia. I’m addicted to both
@@lindamemo5224 Dole Whip and lumpia for me, but yes!
Hi Chris, I would like you to do a video on when you were a kid and how you started going to Disneyland, and you’re favorite rides and when you decided that this would be your future job!
I wish I had a job like yours, how awesome to be at Disneyland all the time. You make me smile because you enjoy your work!❤
The food all looks soooo good in Disneyland! As a vegetarian I definitely wouldn't have any trouble finding food there! Appreciate your in depth tours of everywhere 😊
Rancho Del Zocalo has some great Mexican food and I haven't eaten there in quite a while. Until you mentioned about the spice in their food, I remember it being that way. My favorite food to get there is the create your own burrito bowl. This place has some unique areas to sit and people watch. One bad memory I have experiencing this place is I lost the physical copy of my Disneyland ticket and I had to run back to City Hall and get a new one. I will never forget this memory.
Carnation Cafe favorite place to eat at Disneyland since it opened in 1955. Great place for date night dance parties with the teenage HS grads in the mid 60s!
You must love that backpack!? That strap has seen better days. ;) Don't forget that Doritos was started at the Casa de Fritos. Great and informative vid Chris! Thanks!
Definitely get the Lobster Roll at Harbour Galley!!! Big chunks of Lobster and good price for the amount you get. And get plenty of napkins.
But I'm still sad they got rid of the Ravioli at Boardwalk Pizza in DCA.
We ended up doing the summer deal. So for a family of four for 3 days, saves us up to $400 as opposed to going in November like we had originally planned, for only 2 days! So we saved $400 and got an extra day. Can't beat it!
9:23 never thought I would ever chris fear for his life at Disneyland 😂😂😂😂
Long time former Disney employee here. Excellent videos and breakdowns of the various food choices at the park. I think he captures the essence of the park and seating options very well. Great job. Ps. Love the stormtroopers as well. lol.
What's great about the Hungry Bear Restaurant is that it's right on the water and gives the kids a lot to look at while you're eating. Ducks and birds gliding by. Keeps them busy.
Excellent video Chris. Love ya
I used to bring chips into the park and order a side of refried beans at Rancho and it was so cheap!
We love the cheese enchilada combo plate with Extra sauce. UMMMMMM!!!
Shrimp and grits is my new go to. There used to be something similar in cafe Orleans so I was happy to see this.
Chris, what you said about the Disney Caste is me with the Falcon. I never get tired of seeing it. I absolutely LOVE LOVE IT. And you interaction with the Stormtroopers was EPIC. I been waiting for secrets reveal of Rise and Smugglers Run. Also have you ever posted the video that you said you been working on for 2 years? I'm excited to see that. Several months ago you talk about it real quick then I left for a cruise and never saw it. Then told me probably coming out in a couple weeks then your Walt Disney World stay happen and then your Euro trip happened. So I don't know if I missed it or you still haven't posted it yet.
You're AWESOME Thank you for giving encouragement to stay strong thru tough times and letting us know we matter ❤ it means alot and You Matter Too.
My go-to restaurant since I've been going regularly since 1990 is The Plaza Inn for the Yankee Pot Roast! For the cost and portions, it's always been on point! The chicken is good also. PLUS, only place you can get free coffee refills in the park! Hungry Bear is my 2nd go-to mainly for the ambience, sitting river side and people watching.
When I graduated high school Pirates, Haunted Mansion and Small World had JUST opened. Our grad night was spent at Disneyland.....all night. I had dinner at Blue Bayou and wow was it good. All these years later I still remember. It was a wild rice stuffed chicken breast........where has the time gone? I heard they closed my other favorite....The Tahitian Terrace ......it was in Adventure Land. I used to order the chicken salad that was served in a pineapple boat....delicious and there was a terrific Polynesian dance show .
Backpack being frayed and is about to give out 7:44 (shoulder), someone hook poor Chris up, this one might give up anytime...😱😮🤣
Great video, thanks! I’d love to see a meet and greet video with you and your fans.
Chris your videos are so great, and have inspired me to embrace my love of Disneyland! My solo trip is almost here!!! I’ll be at Disneyland on 7/29,7/30,7/31, and 8/1. Please tell me that you’ll go on at least one of those days!! Lol. I’d love to say hi to you tell you how awesome you are!!
I will not give up.
Thank you for that and thank you for this video.
I'm planning a dream vacation for mom, dad & brother for Christmas.
I'm looking for recommendations on places to eat. Places look sweet!
We haven't been to Disneyland in about 20 years.
So I'm making this vacation a sweet, memorable experience.
And I'm getting reservations at Grand Californian Hotel.
Four of us shared the Garlic Pretzel Bread at the Edelweiss and we were all craving it again the next night. 😄 My daughter had the Red Rose Lemonade drink at Red Rose Taverne and that was very refreshing with a nice flavor. I absolutely loved the corndogs at Stage Door Cafe. So good!
Mr. Povost - thank for this vlog. Good to know the various meal options and where to find those special specific treats! ♥U❣ NOTE: I appreciate your silly humor, as well.😂
Great information!!! Thank you for all of your hard work. 🥳
Wonderful video summary - thank you. Agree with you on Carnation Cafe breakfast which we always do and is awesome. We also have liked Cafe Orleans. The Golden Horseshoe has a funny show so if you time your visit you will have a nice added memory of your day at Disneyland! The Golden Horseshoe has yummy rootbeer floats for a hot day. Walt Disney had his own private table next to the stage, which is still there and a fun piece of Disney history.
I LOVE the golden horseshoe !!! Their lemon pepper chicken tenders are bomb
Would love to see Amanda do a review of Vegetarian Disneyland. Thanks so much for your great videos.🎉
That was soooo funny with the Storm Troopers 😂
How about a quick interaction with the Fans of Park Pass at the park.
Thank you so much for your very kind and loving words. I needed to hear them today. xoxo
ur interaction with the stormtroopers 🤩
