@5:13 I wasn’t expecting your message to hit so personal this video. My brother was just diagnosed with cancer, and it’s hitting all of us hard. It doesn’t even seem real. He’s only 33 yrs old.
Thank you Provost Family for having amazing videos 💕
Chris stumbling over his words is absolutely one of the most endearing things about him and this channel. It's just part of what makes the 'character' of Chris Provost unique, authentic, and fun. :)
Trivia always reminds me that I have a bone to pick with you. A tibia
Yeah....hey, Chris, thanks for all of your kind, encouraging support of all of us..;
there is a brass spot just as you enter fantasy land through the castle. I call it the wishing spot, you stand on the spot, make a wish and if you time it right you hear Jiminy Cricket sing when you wish upon a star. I showed it to a newlywed couple and as they made their wish, Jiminy sang. it was Disney magical
Did you know Walt Disney designed the logo for “Toys for Tots”. A train, of course! He was very involved early on. The company makes a large donation every year.🚂🚂🚂
Chris, I just want to take the time to tell you how amazing you are and how important you are. Thank you for being you. Thank you. You and your family are loved.
Chris, you are a hero. You lift hearts and brighten days and make the world a better place! Thank you for being you! One little thing: did I hear you call the "lady" symbol's earrings her "buckin' ears"?! You expect me to hear that and be able to just go about my day?!?
I recently found out about “Jingles” the carousel horse dedicated to Julie Andrews. I love that piece of Disney knowledge.
Oooo that's one of my favorites too! I have a cousin in her 40s who runs for Jingles like a little kid and it always warms my heart :)
One of my favorites is about the vents on Main Street that pump out the delicious smells.
My favorite Disneyland fact/trivia is about the popcorn turners on all the popcorn stands. They have different characters for each stand and they even change by season. This detail is just so crazy to me.
I love this too! One of my favorites to look for when I go. Fun fact, did you know they’re called Roastie-Toasties? So cute. 😊
My top is that the former restaurant next to Big Thunder Mountain, formerly the Casa de Fritos, and also formerly my favorite lunch spot there, is the birthplace of the Doritos brand tortilla chips.
Second would be that the truck and mine carts outside the Indiana Jones ride are the actual props used in the movies.
I love the story of the Dominguez tree. The promise that Walt made to the family and the fact that Ron worked at Disneyland it even better.
Actually there are Two Canary Island Date Palms that the Dominguez Family had that are still at Disneyland and both are by the Jungle Cruise.
I super love this video!!! My favorite trivia is the story behind the 1764 arch between the Rivers and Haunted Mansion! A friend and I use to send pages of trivia before either of us went on a trip!! I love Disneyland trivia. My second favorite is Tomorrowland. At one time all the plants were edible. Now about 80% of them are. Walt believed the world should be self-sustainable! It's just so cool and I think about it every time I walk through.
Yes, Walt believed that, which is why the imagineers made all the plants edible, starting in 1998, 32 years after his death.
Chris, I love your videos. You are such a great person! I don’t expect you to remember given all the people you meet, but my wife and I have spoken to you a couple of times at DL. You are always so kind and nice. Thank you!
The clock when you walk through Sleeping Beauty Castle looks like Cinderella's carriage to me. Perhaps that's why it's set to midnight? Also the glasses above the Mickey's Philharmagic theater make the pipes look like the Muppet characters Bunsen and maybe Gonzo! And the smoke stack has the same face as Beaker!
The matterhorn tree is my favorite Disney trivia
My favorite is the light fixtures and wiring on Main Street. Period correct, and the period was one where they were transitioning from gas fixtures to electrical. You can see the visible retrofit wiring and the converted gas lighting fixtures. Such great details!
Thanks for another enjoyable lunch break! I love all the trivia. You are appreciated!
Snow Whites Grotto. I know it has been talked about. Also the edible plants in Tomorrowland. I love the road less traveled in Frontierland. I love western themed lands in a park. Disney does it BEST! They've been imitated worldwide. Knott's is authentic. One last one is the petrified tree that Lilly Disney gifted to the park in your favorite section Chris.
My favorite piece of Disneyland trivia is something cast members probably do know about, so it wouldn't fit in this video. I recall you have included this in a previous video. It's the "Little Man Of Disneyland" house - Patrick Begora's home - hidden at the base of one of the trees at the entrance to the Indiana Jones ride. Talk about attention to detail. I love it!
I know a lot of people know this but my favorite piece of trivia is the Morse code message you can hear at the New Orleans Square Train Station Telegraph Cable Office is Walt Disney’s opening day speech. ❤
I love this too!!
My favorite trivia is one you did in a previous video regarding the riddle waiting to be solved.
My favorite trivia is the Dominguez date palm in Adventureland and the trees Behind City Hall are from the original windbreak protecting the orange groves
The fact that you tell us supportive things is so cool. The fact that you come off as so authentic when you say those things is even better. I'm a former Disneyland cast member, and I recently made friends with a former Tokyo Disneyland cast member (even though Tokyo Disneyland is run by a different company that licenses the Disney names and characters, our experiences were very similar). I try to follow your example when they have had a rough day.
Okay, now that I've watched the full video, here's my favorite piece of trivia that even Disney gets wrong.
There is a coat of arms at the front of Sleeping Beauty Castle that Disney says is Walt Disney's coat of arms. That's not true. It is "A" Disney coat of arms, but not that of Walt's family. His coat of arms is different.
My favorite is the hidden mickey on Incredicoaster. If you look up (relative to yourself) as you go on the loop, you can see hidden mickeys at the base of the giant poles holding uo the rollercoaster. You'd never see it any other way and I love that they put that there in case anyone happens to look up (down) at the ground while upside down!
Thank you Chris, you are Awesome and we all love you guys. Your heart to heart note really hit home. We love when you do the unknown stuff of Disneyland and DCA. Thank you 🙏
I think it also says "Employees" on the mural by stage door cafe. Mentioning the employees of the firecracker company.
Yes there is for sure a sign that says "Employee Entrance Only" there as well. I was surprised to read this on my trip a few weeks ago, because he has pointed out this in other videos as well.
My favorite trivia is the teletype message at New Orleans square Depot is NOT Morse code… it’s actually called Continental code, very similar to Morse code but slightly different. And there’s a rumor that Lilian Disney was a Teletype operator during the war. That the original programmers had altered Walt’s opening day speech, and he casually mentioned that fact about Lilian to them.
Whoa! That’s deep!
I love watching your videos, they always make me smile. Thank you so much for being here for us!
Hi Chris! It was awesome meeting you at the store today! You made my day! :) I hope you got what you were after. Keep up the great work on these videos!
My favorite piece of Disney trivia is that the organ in the Haunted Mansion is the same one used in the movie 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. And that the spider web in the ballroom is disguising a crack in the glass from a BB gun. Both probably well known to Disney fans but I always thought these were cool.
LOL that song at the end made me giggle. Too cute. I'm trying to think...I'm always amazed by the trivia about the plants. I never realized before I read the fact, that Disneyland is considered one of the largest parks in the world and/or has the largest amount of plant species. I think you did a full video on this and/or the top 10 trees or something but I really loved that video. Like the tree with the oil pipe in it and the oldest Palm tree on the property from the one family in Adventureland. I guess I like it because you know we get so focused on the rides and attractions and food and buildings but the plants really do add quite a bit to the experience, year round!
Thank you for those kind words during your video! They were unexpected but something I totally needed to hear. Right now I'm definitely that student stressing out over tests as the semester comes to a close. As for favorite trivia/facts... I'm always been enamored by the existence of the Disneyland cats. It's interesting to me that they're referred to as employees of the park... wouldn't they be... Cat Members? ;) I also think it's nice that if the cats become comfortable around humans or they accidentally have a litter those cats/kittens are given out to cast members. Imagine being able to say your cat was born in Disneyland!
We've seen the cats in both DL and DCA. I think there's a feeding station behind Hungry Bear.
I've heard they are fed, and captured to be fixed or neutered. I also wish they were friendly. But I'd probably get distracted, spend all day with the cat, and then be dissapointed I didn't go on any rides. 😁
Hahaha "cat members"!
Space Mountain was the first Disneyland attraction with a higher price tag than Disneyland itself. It cost $20,000,000 to build in 1977; the entire park only cost $17,000,000 in 1955.
So amazing to think about.
I went on Space Mountain as a CM during a couple weeks before it opened. It was fast - Very fast! Too fast in fact. The reason? The material that was used for the wheels (nylon I think) was wearing off causing a sort of non-friction or “teflon” effects so the sleds were going quite a bit faster than the 32mph it was designed for. I recall stepping off with other CM friends and we were shaking after a very turbulent, but very exciting ride. They had to replace all the wheels prior to opening to the public.
@@FunAtDisney I was there too and I remember that...we were being their lab rats..
@@robertjones1729 Yes, but it was a lot of fun! And we were amazed that this was a Disneyland ride!
@@FunAtDisney oh..it was a blast..but you could see and feel how it would be too much for some...I was 19 and unbreakable
Trivia: Hi Chris, great video, the horns on top of the shop in frontierland which indicated in those days that it was open for trading as most of the pioneers could not read; so the horns were the indication for them that the shop was ok for trading.
Thanks now I have to find a NEW secret path to walk through 😆
I love the secret codes in the walls of Indiana Jones. I remember decoding them when I was growing up.
I used to have a small stack of decoder cards from all the times I rode Indiana Jones when it first opened.
The path that is least walked on is where my wife sat in a wheelchair after she sprained her ankle in Disneyland. Seemed like a good place for her to hang out.
On the 9th Day of Christmas, Chris gave 9 Mind Blowing Facts to me!!🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
Love these videos! 🤫 one cool trivia I know you've done is the mooses on Winnie the Pooh and the horse buggy tracks. And Walt's wife Lillie's name on the back of the train.
My favorite piece of Disney Trivia must be the Coca-Cola half red/ half white light bulb to maintain the balance of colors on Main Street. That attention to detail just makes me smile.
My favorite is the Charlie Brown on Small World and Max, Buff, and Melvin on Pooh Bear. I also love how when you are filming, and someone says Hi, It looks like you always stop filming to visit with them. You Rock!!
My daughter and I watch your videos together. She says her favorite Disneyland trivia is the trident in the pond between Tomorrowland and Fantasy land from when it used to be the Little Mermaid area. My favorite is the unfinished spire on the castle. Also, we love the photobomb (video bomb) at 6:54!!!
I love the transition between Frontierland and Galaxy's Edge. There is a point where the lights change from lanterns to Star Wars styled lights and the pavement changes as well along a crack. Very clever transition from one type of frontier to another.
I show this to people all the time but never realized the word play there. Frontier to frontier.
I do like the parking lot reference sign in the Indiana Jones queue because that ride was built in the spot of the old parking lot.....that's pretty deep. My favorite transition is into Star Wars Land (Batu).....you not only get the great visual transition, you get the audio with change in music......in DW the pandora transition does that really well too
The third blinking light was GREAT. Never noticed 😀
OK, I thought I was a Disneyland expert, but I did not know about the pathway leading out of Frontierland and the glasses on the exit to Mickey's Philharmagic. Good job!
I’ve tried to think of a Disneyland piece of trivia that you’ve never mentioned (which is really hard because you’ve taught me so much). You’d have to double check, but I believe the water from the Storybook ride flows to the castle moat which then flows to Jungle Cruise which then flows to the River’s of America. And then it gets pumped back up to Storybook again.
I was so excited to see that you posted the video of the day my husband and I met you. Such a fun visit !! We had to pause it, but I saw my husband for just a second as he watched you coming towards him. I'm so glad you waited until I arrived. It made our day !! We were the couple celebrating our 50th anniversary. Thanks for the memory.
Walt’s obsessive perfection and the half white and half red lightbulb on Main street to make it aesthetic! Love you Chris!
Love these Chris!
My favourite trivia would have to be the use of site lines and all the creative ways they hide structures that don’t fit into other lands. Like the fake “Matterhorn tree”
You're awesome! Amanda and the little one too. Been going to Disney since I was too young to remember, I can't believe there's always more to learn! Will be fun to share with the fam on our next visit! ❤️
Walt's apartment in NOS. The family's apartment on the beginning of Mainstreet. The fact that Disneyland was set up like a movie, and that all the names on the windows on Main Street symbolize the movie credits at the beginning of a movie, as its the beginning of Disneyland as you enter the park. The family bathroom at the Plaza stage, private, huge and no one uses it! The bench on the porch on Mainstreet is the BEST place for parades and to people watch. You just need to snag it early and then send someone across the street for snacks! :), And just as a tip, bring regular snacks (like chips, water etc) and get a locker. Dont waste your money on regular candy, chips etc at the park. Save you $$ for the exclusive Disneyland treats. Also, bring a second pair of shoes, socks, coat etc and get the big locker...easy and cheap!
Great list, but you did leave out my favorite (which I learned from you). The Fire Insurance Plaques in New Orleans Square.
I love that one, too!
My favorite is the half white and half red lightbulb at Coke Corner!
Love the trivia facts - I store them away to tell my wife next time we go! I impress her with my random facts 🙂 If I ever see the Provost team in the park, churros on me!
Knowing the least walked areas is important. It means you know where to go for a brief respite from the action and crowds!
Just got back from Disneyland and we loved finding ALL of the number 25's hidden on the ride for the 25th Anniversary of It's a Small World Holiday. 😍 Also loved the two new dolls in wheelchairs! 🦽
one of my favorite pieces of trivia is that the new orleans station was still called the frontierland station for a long time, even when it was clearly in new orleans square
It actually wasn’t in New Orleans Square until they built New Orleans Square in the 1960’s.
Also, listen to the Main Street train station sometime… they still refer to “stops in Frontierland, Toontown and Tomorrowland.”
The musical transitions/loops, theming, and background sound fx from each land and areas throughout all of the resort. Example: Parks/different lands/areas in DCA, hotels, downtown, Main Street in Disneyland, etc, especially during the different holidays. The way they fade in and out and how the volumes increase and decrease. They absolutely think of everything.
One of the critters on splash mountain yells FSU that’s pretty fun and cool 😁
Great video! We love hidden mickey trivia - especially the (alleged) smallest hidden mickey in the park!
Thank you for doing this! Thx for showing love and being loved for it! You are smart! Keep driving!
Really enjoyed your Churo Space mountain challenge. Are you going to do something similar in the future?
Three things. The Opera House where Mr Lincoln is located is the only full size building on Main Street as it was the saw mill during Disneyland's construction. The second story was used if not still now for the Disney telephone operators. Second, the building on Main Street where you find a porch with a bench use to sell lingerie and featured the "Wizard of Bras". Third, there is a store on Main Street across from The Mad Hatter which usually sells seasonal merchandise was at one time a restaurant that specialized in breakfast foods and the place inside the store where you can now have items embroidered like sweatshirts and other clothing was the omelette station.
I never knew that about Showcase! That’s awesome!
I like that in magic key terrance there is a drink called after a disney cat named nutmeg. I would look more I to it because it has been forever.
Your positive words are just what I needed tonight. Thank you.
I’m not sure that it’s trivia but the pond at the entrance to Adventureland has a lot of turtles, rumor has it that they were dumped by people who got tired of raising their turtles. I doubt that. I’m sure they would have been confiscated at the gate.
Hi there... I love the trivia facts you showed in this video. Although.... I think another piece of trivia to include that wasn't mentioned is the Golden spike on the floor directly below the tunnel entrance at Sleeping Beauty's Castle. That Golden spike is actually the geometric center of the entire park. :) One of my favorite facts you've shared in another video is the Indiana Jones one about the magazine issue with Mickey on it on top of the Indiana Jones desk. Love it!! Thank you for sharing all these awesome facts with us.
Chris, your mid video pep talks touched my heart. My grandma is dying so what you said really spoke to me. Thank you for bringing joy to my heart during this time of despair.
Love ur videos and thank u Chris for telling us so sweet things. My whole family got sick this past month and my dad is still recovering in the hospital from pneumonia, it's been hard with all of us out of work. But ur videos always brighten up my day. Thank u! A trivia fact I think is cool is how there are many feral cats running around Disneyland and why they are there and been there for years! But I want to know why do many ducks are running around there...
When you enter Disneyland and go down Main Street you are celebrating Independence Day. How can you tell? American flags and red, white, and blue bunting decorate the buildings. Families are together excitedly preparing for the events of the day (not at work or school). You might see a parade or a marching band on Main Street. And at the end of the day you might see a big fireworks display to celebrate the occasion.
Hi Chris! I was just at Disneyland this October. It was so much fun. But I've booked another trip to Disneyland for Oct, 2023. My oldest son turns 30 in January & I had no clue what to get him. Then I thought of getting him a ticket to Disneyland. He & I are going together to celebrate both of our birthdays (mine is in Feb & I'm turning a very young 58) and I booked our trip through Get Away & told them you referred us. Thanks for all that you do. I love the videos & all of the fun info.
Chris, I just booked my January 2023 trip to Disneyland using Get Away Today!!! prices were great and a shout out to Hannah for helping me!
Lol my mom Jan loves it when you do the thing where you put your eye up to the camera and say waaaaiiittt a minute... lol she laughs so hard every single time. My favorite random thing ive learned from you is the fake rust in new Orleans square... only Disney
Thanks for the great videos Chris.
My favorite secret is the roads in Cars Land. Route 66 is a darker asphalt than Cross Street. That is because Lighting McQueen had to fix the damage he did to the road, so Route 66 is newer, and therefore darker asphalt. What great attention to detail!
Always great videos! There are a few more clocks in Fantasyland over by the Alice in Wonderland bathrooms and over in Red Rose Tavern. One of my favorite transitions is the Treehouse and Pirates wall.
The light in Walt’s apartment would be turned on so that people in the park knew he was there, since he passed away the light stays on to symbolise that he’s always there.
I always look at the light above the Fire Station, it's my favorite since I imagine Walt and his family up there in the apartment taking a break from crowds and enjoying family time.
I've always wanted to know why there is a bent spike on the fence that surrounds the Matterhorn.
Love your little song at the end! I think my favorite is not really trivia but always look out for the hidden Mickey in Peter Pan and also the hidden country bears in Winnie the Pooh 😊
12:03 those are also representing the muppets characters beaker and bunsen, this makes this detail even better
Such a fun video! These pieces of trivia are so cool! Makes me want to go back to see them in-person!!
Thanks for the video Chris, you always have 1-2 things I still don't know about Disney. There are so many trivia points I love, but some of my favorites are the matterhorn tree, Patrick's house outside of Indy, the fire insurance plaques in New Orleans Square, and the test wall on Main Street. Thank YOU for being so awesome and positive!!! ❤️
Test wall? Do tell!
The light in Walts appartment over the firehouse is always lit to pay homage to him.
Hi Chris! My personal favorite trivia is the "clicking" noise at New Orleans Square and the story behind what it is.
My favorite, Disneyland, trivia, which I believe I heard it from you, was the lightbulb that’s painted, half white, half red.
Your videos always bring a genuine, heartfelt smile. You embody the true Disney spirit
I always look forward to your videos & today it was more appreciated than ever! Today's been hard, but spending the day with you at Disneyland makes it easier to push through. Thank you ❤
Cute video. I liked all the positive vibes. Made me feel good. 😊
I like the fact that older rides' vehicles were interchangable and that they put teacups on HM, which inspired the ride vehicles for Car Toon Spin. I also like the brass waterfountains in the mornings right after they are shined (also, when did they remove the fountain by HM?) I also like the little tree that divides Frontierland and NOS.
do you have a source for the teacups on the HM thing? that sounds super interesting and i’d love to read up on it
You are so amazing. What you said at 5:20 truly felt like you were talking to me. Thank you.
My favorite will always be the Matterhorn tree. I would love a video in the logistics of the upkeep & maintenance Disney needs to perform on the tree (and how they do it) to keep the lines clean.
Great video! How have I never noticed the Adventureland one?!? That’s so awesome!
Also, what’s up with Buzz at 3:15 ? Maybe a lost balloon, I suppose. 🤣
Hey, that's me filling water bottles at 13:13. I saw you that day but you were filming so I didn't want to interrupt you dropping knowledge.
I have heard that when the park closes at night, big lights, similar to those in a stadium, rise up from behind the buildings on Main Street. At 6:30 A.M., right before the park opens for early entry, the lights turn off and lower back behind the buildings. It would be interesting to do a show on what happens after the park closes.
I know probably it's a well known Disneyland fact, but I still love it. I LOVE the lamp in the window of Walt's apartment that is always on, like he's looking over his park and everyone in it. I cannot wait to see it for myself when we visit for the first time in 2024!
My favorite Disney trivia is the silhouette of Sherlock Holmes (because I 💗 SH) in the window of the constabulary on Mr Toad's Wild Ride that you showed on your Dancing Men video. Second place - the hidden Mickey on Big Ben on Peter Pan
The transition between Adventureland and New Orleans Square, on the building facade as you walk from Tiki Room to NOS. It’s all one building, but the facade goes from primitive to French Colonial. Beautiful!
Indeed! I literally just watched his Top Transitions video last night, and this was one of the transitions he mentioned!
Yes that is also my favorite transition!!! I do love the one chis is talking about though I knew he was going to pick that one, somehow I also think galaxies edge is also pretty magical they get you with the music in the tunnel.
My favorite is while riding the train through the Grand Canyon. There is a bullet shatter in the glass. Been there as long as I can remember
Nice secluded path. Thanks for your efforts, Chris!! You are awesome!!!
Favorite Disneyland Trivia: the hidden goofy rock in Pirates of the Caribbean 😭💗🙌🏼
