Fun fact about the stained glass window in the entrance. Each little tile is engraved with the names of all the people working in the parks (at the time). So my name is in there too! They also gave all of us the tile we are on as a little keepsake if i remember that correctly. I worked there for 6 years but (with pain in my heart) left because I moved away. It was such a blessing to grow up so close to this place and to work there once I got older. I really had a magical childhood.
fun fact about the stained glass by the entrance, a good chunk of the tiles actually have the names of staff members and their family members on there! i suppose its symbolic for all the staff members taking part to make the efteling what it is :) my name is in there somewhere, but i couldnt tell you where haha
That’s such a cool feature. We never knew that. What a lovely way to celebrate the people who help make the part what it is. Thank you for watching 😊 x
Hellloooooo, it is great you remembered the portrait of Ton van de Ven ! Yes , it is true that Villa Volta was de first madhouse in the world, it was a new ride system and Ton designed the story and building around it and later others copied it. Fun fact....., It is happening again with Dans Macabre....., it is a brand new ride system and The Efteling is the first park to use it and have designed a theme around it . Great vlog 👍 Greetings Gerard👋
Loved getting all the bits of trivia on our previous vlog series. Thought I’d try and pass on as much of those as I could. 😊 Ooooh I didn’t realise that about danse macabre. We can’t wait to experience it in the future. Thank you so much for watching x
Loved your vlog again! Helena was right about the Wolf. She did get her kids out and filled his belly with stones. Efteling in the dark is magical. When we where there years ago, the parc was open until midnight. So Aquanura was at 00.15 hr. We Loved it!!! Fairytailforrest, hope you get back to the donkey?! If you catch the coin you got good luck all day!!! 😊!Oh yes, the shows throughout weekdag are not showing anymore 😢 Can’t wait to see the next vlog , love to see your vlogs ❤
Yay! I thought I had seen that on the RUclips channel. Ooh wow! That would have been cool having more hours in the dark. Yes, we need to make sure we’ve got some coins next time so we can go to the donkey and the other machines. Thank you for watching 😊 x
The castle and the entrance lite up at night are beautiful! The water show was spectacular, loved the reflections on the ice. As always, thanks for taking me with you.....
We made the mistake last time of taking a short- cut in the Fairytale Forest and nearly missed half of it 😁 Thanks for the tip to keep to the red path.
It is true, Villa Volta was the 1st ever darkride, in fact it was the prototype for all the others to follow. Was in the Efteling today (monday 29th of januari), beautiful weather, 12 degrees celsius and lots of sunshine, just did 2 rides, Vogelrok and Symbolica (red) but enjoyed watching the people and children and strolling thru the park.
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing the info. Theme park history always fascinates us. That's what I love about the park, you don't need to ride loads of rides. You can take it at your leisure and just explore and enjoy. Thank you for watching 😀 x
@@sohelenaandmartyn also; you did not enter the last one "chinese nightingale".. I have not seen footage of the other talking tree (kniezende kniesoor).. and have you seen "vrouw holle" come out of the open Window? 😉
@@ChrisTop-k9p we caught the Chinese nightingale on our last trip. The vlogs are on the channel too if you want to check them out. We saw the talking tree on our way through but as it was closing we didn't manage to catch on the camera. Thank you for letting us know about the different fairytales, we'll try to catch the ones we didn't show next time. x
Villa volta is the first of its kind but the technique used has been know a long time. And aquanura has the second biggest in Europe and third biggest fountain in the world.
Wow, the sprookjesbos looked amazing in the snow. Sooo lovely and extra magical. You both are such kind souls, so it's only fair you guys got the most beautiful scenery you could wish for in the winter. I can't wait to go on Tuesday. It's almost springlike weather then. 13 celcius, hopefully sunny. I want to ride Max en Morrits as well, haven't done that before, and afcourse Droomvlucht❤.
We hope you have the most amazing time. 😊 That’s so sweet of you to say. Max and Moritz is fantastic, sure you’ll love it. It’s really fun. Thank you so much for watching x
Hi Helena and Martyn. I get sick easily in rides too. To conquer that you should take some car sickness medicine. I can ride everything without being sick. It makes my Efteling ecperience mocht more enjoyable. Groetjes.
We didn’t, unfortunately we didn’t have any coins with us to put into to it. But we’ll definitely have to do that next time. Thank you for watching 😊 x

That is so special. What an amazing thing for them to do to show their support of you all. ❤️ Thank you so much for watching x

We made the mistake last time of taking a short- cut in the Fairytale Forest and nearly missed half of it 😁 Thanks for the tip to keep to the red path.
We’re so happy someone gave us the recommendation about following the red brick road. 😊 thank you for watching x
My favorite fairytale in the fairytale forest has to be the girl with the matchsticks, it's such a sad story, i cry everytime i see it❤
So sad, I found that room really emotional too. It’s so magical the fairytale forest, one of my favourite parts of the park! Xxx

Have you noticed the pictures (and the sculpture) of the other servants on the building across from long neck?
We didn’t notice that detail. We’ll have to look out for that. 😊 Thank you so much for watching and letting us know x

Lovely vlog and nice you could see the Aquanura. Next week I'm visiting Efteling with my new annual pass. 😁

You are so lovely together , i hope too meet you sometime in the Efteling.
Thank you for watching and for your kind comment. If you ever see us definitely say hi 😊 x

My son was so afraid of rumplestilskin when he was small.
Can definitely see why. That rumple can cause a fright. Thank you for watching 😀 x
@@sohelenaandmartyn when he hears, niemand weet, niemand weet, dat ik Repelsteeltje heet, hè was gone, back to the entrance 😅
Did you get an Efteling coin from the donkey?
We didn’t, unfortunately we didn’t have any coins with us to put into to it. But we’ll definitely have to do that next time. Thank you for watching 😊 x
