Also, I love the perspective that when a ride is down for refurbishment or repairs during my visit, it’s simply evidence of Disney “plus-ing”. Great point!
This is a great video. Yes the content is about our beloved Disneyland, but it’s also a life lesson. We can choose to strive to be a better version of ourself each day, knowing we will fall short sometimes. This is why I love your videos. So many layers. Keep up the good work.
Man, I spent 14 years playing music for a living, and this was always my philosophy. We could write songs and they'd be great...perfect for what they were...but I always wanted to do better (and that still continues in my present mundane jobs). The point you've reached perfection in your mind... there's no place left to go but down. Keep striving for a better perfect.
Really enjoyed this video. I am amazed, fascinated, and inspired by creative leaders, especially Walt Disney. People forget about how many times he failed before he finally succeeded. Never quit, never give up!
Great words about criticism. As a designer who receives criticism everyday from non-designers with no design education, I try to keep in mind that they may be wrong about what is wrong or how to fix it -- but there is something off that should be looked at.
Love your videos, been going back and trying to watch them all since I have only found the channel a few months ago, love the haunted mansion series was cool to see all the artwork and backstory you use
I reinvent myself every time i go. Some days im a 10 yr old kid seeing it all for the first time, some days im a Disney Adult living the past adventures, or my new favorite a person, exploring doing different activities, from ripping rides, strolling through feeling the vibes, or yet capturing moments in time of others and views that juat speak to me.
Love the perfect ponderings of what is the reworking of creativity through the decades. Long may it continue, Love you Brickey for all the great ponderings past and Disneyland Forward
Love your points about the cynics. Well said that most/much of the time they’re there to “pass along their misery to you”, but also appreciate that you said they can sometimes be right in that there may be room for improvement. (Speaking in generalities- not just re: your channel, or even RUclips-just life). Another great series. Congrats on 40k. 🎉
Wonderful video. Walt’s ability to keep so much information in his head with such detail is an oft overlooked aspect of his skill set. Points for summarizing the importance of that so well. Looking forward to more Walt content (and everything else you have in mind, too).
Hey Brickey, have you done any videos about the Disneyland landscaping horticulture - the trees, shrubs, flower gardens, and even bonsai that graces the grounds of Disneyland? I am so curious about how the trees are tended and kept in balance with the scale of the park.
This is a great video because it highlights the best of Walt’s vision keep building and keep making improvements. Whatever made is never actually going to be completely perfect just perfect enough to actually show with fans that will know it’s perfect. Honestly, in a way I am also a perfectionist but even I know perfectionist aren’t really that perfect. Which is pretty much why I’m skeptical about Tiana’s Bayou Adventure in concept art it seems like the perfect idea, but in reality it may not actually be the perfect draw that they are looking for which if it’s not then it’s actually up to what’s behind big thunder railroad or Disney forward to actually have something that can draw people in otherwise there isn’t going to be much traffic in that area.
Hey Brickie, I would highly recommend the book Three Years in Wonderland: The Disney Brothers, C. V. Wood, and the Making of the Great American theme park It’s Such a well written and researched book. it gives you such deep insight into Walt Disney mindset when he was creating the park. Also, it’s one of the best books when it comes to showing the pure logistics of how the park got made in such a short time. It does a really great job of humanizing Walt Disney his struggles with park but his never ending creativity and the love his big brother had to make anything Walt wanted happen ( like completely changing how movie studios worked with television broadcasting). It’s a really good read. I am very well read when it comes too the park’s history and this book has stuff that I never heard before. This book really speaks too what your doing with this new series on your channel
Hey Brickey! Does the park require you do anything to record your videos in the park? I know they were super serious one time when we had a selfie stick! 😬😆
it's like how school teaches people wrong, you have to make mistakes to learn and grow overtime. Even most things you buy or use probably started out in a less ideal form.
What a lasting impact Walt and his crew made. It 's a shame that the current version of the Walt Disney Co no longer represents what Walt envisioned. The parks main focus is on merch and food. Disney get back to entertaining!
New Orleans is always one of the busiest parts of the park. How did you find it that empty? I love that part of the park, but it gives me anxiety because it's always shoulder to shoulder. Once again you have captured the beauty of our beloved Disneyland ♥️ thank you Brickey
This is my favorite part of the park as well. ❤ We rope drop it, bypass the lines for attractions along the way, and enjoy the lack of people before the flood.
In reference to the changing of attractions as opposed to movies and using Snow White as the example: The Pro is that you can have updated and upgraded effects over time, but the Con is how they have edited the rides over time, like Snow White’s not to be as scary, or the changes to Pirates of the Caribbean. Unfortunately this diminishes the overall distinct value of the original rides, taking features away over time and not plussing them like they should, understandably because they are 50 year old rides, but still. If you’re going to take something away it should be to replace it with something twice as good, that’s my Walt Disney mentality.
The opening of this video makes me wonder if Walt would have taken advantage of current technology and re-release opportunities to “plus” his movies, like George Lucas tried to do with the “Special Editions” of the Star Wars movies. And I wonder how much grief he would have gotten for it?
When you change the video title/thumbnail, why do you do it or what metrics are you basing it on? Do you have a program set up to change it automatically and ‘test out’ a few alternatives to see which performs best? And if so how accurate/useful are the numbers? Curious to learn :-)
The parks are definitely something that should evolve and improve and 'plus'. The movies themselves should probably be left alone. Save the updating for the next one. Totally get why George Lucas would want to make the additions he did to Star Wars. But he should've at least kept the original vision available. Those movies were a product of their time and should stay that way.
Walt's vision and your presentation is fantastic. Upgrading and constantly improving, outstanding! But Disney corporates, KEEP YOUR POLITICS TO YOURSELF AND YOUR WALLET HAPPY.
BTW, it was great seeing you WDWNT podcast. I watch that one every Tuesday and your conversation was maybe its best episode. If you ever put out the “vibes over rides” merch again, I’ll jump on that one too.
Hey Brickey! As usual, wonderful storytelling, editing, and inspiration. My cousin recently got into Disneyland RUclips content and started telling me about Fresh Baked and Provost Park Pass and the like. I said yeah, yeah. But check out Hey Brickey for some deeper content. Happy to see your sub count getting some traction.
Is there any chance of you putting out a video on how Pirates and Haunted Mansion were created, then how they've evolved over the years? I saw the original idea on Walt's TV show. In any case, please do more videos about how our favorites were made!
@@scottmcv994 yes. I use a professional level camera and color grade my footage. Most folks are using iPhone and DJI pocket cameras, which are great easy options but you do see a little more depth and color in my videos.
I don’t know… tomorrowland hasn’t really been plussed in 2 decades, though they have tried, too much has been mothballed. I am still a little miffed abandoning the country bears of Mineral Springs with Winnie the Pooh in a somewhat abandoned appendix of park pathway. Don’t get me wrong, I am still with you. Why? Just look at the park of the past versus today… holidayland where Walt discovered the fantasy of a circus was not as family friendly and dirty as he remembered. But having a less smelly french quarter is quite the more romantic than reality. He kept changing things up to his death… WDI really had struggled until they could not ignore the social criticism of popular rides as of late… i think Lassiter actually woke Glendale up quite a bit to how slow the have moved post Walt, and that change doesn’t need to be large to be effective.
Don’t you just love it that Walt’s critics were wrong!!…💫👏
I do this re-imagining in my garden constantly.
Same here. Mine is in constant flux and ever improving. 🙂
Also, I love the perspective that when a ride is down for refurbishment or repairs during my visit, it’s simply evidence of Disney “plus-ing”. Great point!
We are so fortunate to be inspired by Walt and his wisdom
Always been a dreamer come and dream it with me 🎶
Great video Brickey! Can't wait to see the next video in the series. Keep them coming!
This is a great video. Yes the content is about our beloved Disneyland, but it’s also a life lesson. We can choose to strive to be a better version of ourself each day, knowing we will fall short sometimes. This is why I love your videos. So many layers. Keep up the good work.
Going to love this series!!
Just noticed the 40k! Congrats Brickey 🙌🏼. More content like this and then next milestone is even closer
Man, I spent 14 years playing music for a living, and this was always my philosophy. We could write songs and they'd be great...perfect for what they were...but I always wanted to do better (and that still continues in my present mundane jobs). The point you've reached perfection in your mind... there's no place left to go but down. Keep striving for a better perfect.
I love your history videos! It really helps me appreciate Disneyland even more.
Growth mindset, stay humble, there is always something to learn/improve
"A Choir of Artists" Brilliant! Great video 🤘
Love this video. Great work. Loving your stuff!
Bricky, lovely video. Still sending the love and the magic out for all I see. Happy to see you still on the journey. x
Really enjoyed this video. I am amazed, fascinated, and inspired by creative leaders, especially Walt Disney. People forget about how many times he failed before he finally succeeded. Never quit, never give up!
Really appreciate your content and editorial style.
Great words about criticism. As a designer who receives criticism everyday from non-designers with no design education, I try to keep in mind that they may be wrong about what is wrong or how to fix it -- but there is something off that should be looked at.
yeah, man, this is really well-timed for me. thanks. good vid.
Beautiful editing and storytelling, as usual! So enjoyable to get lost in the Brickey version of Disney! 😊
Love your videos, been going back and trying to watch them all since I have only found the channel a few months ago, love the haunted mansion series was cool to see all the artwork and backstory you use
Haters gotta’ hate. Winners don’t listen to them.
Love this new deep dive series.
I reinvent myself every time i go. Some days im a 10 yr old kid seeing it all for the first time, some days im a Disney Adult living the past adventures, or my new favorite a person, exploring doing different activities, from ripping rides, strolling through feeling the vibes, or yet capturing moments in time of others and views that juat speak to me.
Please, preach it pal. Love your mind. Thank you. Looking forward to more.
Love the perfect ponderings of what is the reworking of creativity through the decades. Long may it continue, Love you Brickey for all the great ponderings past and Disneyland Forward
At RUclips, we can keep perfecting it, and that’s exactly what Brickey’s done. Thanks for another inspiring video!
Walt basically had Project Management software built into his brain!
So many quotes to write down on this one - keep 'em coming Hey Brickey!
Nobody believed in him…but Walt knew what he was doing. THAT is Such a thing.
Walt Disney: "When you put a movie in the can, that's it."
George Lucas: "Hold my beer."
😂perfect!!!
Love your points about the cynics. Well said that most/much of the time they’re there to “pass along their misery to you”, but also appreciate that you said they can sometimes be right in that there may be room for improvement. (Speaking in generalities- not just re: your channel, or even RUclips-just life). Another great series. Congrats on 40k. 🎉
Can’t wait for my new Walt hoodie!
And you can always promote films forever! ❤ That's so true and such an interesting idea!
Thanks for everything you do Brickey! Congrats on 40k! Your videos are so good I turned away from playoff hockey to watch this video!
That’s high praise, indeed! 🏒🥅🙌
2:36 Haha, I’m idly playing SimCity Build It while watching this video. Great analogy Brickey!
Good STUFF!!
Think I saw you video taping pooh ride tonight. Love the videos, keep up the good work.
I love the design of your hoodie! Also love this story of continuously improving.
Very inspirational message, thank you for this.
I highly recommend reading “The Wisdom of Walt” by Jeffrey A. Barnes. “Leadership lessons from the happiest place on earth”.
Looking forward to this new series, and wearing the new Walt hoodie, I just snagged!
Thanks for saying it friend, that mental / creative juggling is amazing.
Wonderful video. Walt’s ability to keep so much information in his head with such detail is an oft overlooked aspect of his skill set. Points for summarizing the importance of that so well. Looking forward to more Walt content (and everything else you have in mind, too).

Another great video! Congratulations on 40k!
This video came at a perfect time 😊 I needed a little reminder of that Walt spirit! Thanks👍👍

Bro these past few videos have been straight 🔥. Keep up the good work
it's like how school teaches people wrong, you have to make mistakes to learn and grow overtime. Even most things you buy or use probably started out in a less ideal form.
Dude how’d you get Disneyland all to yourself! Did you rope drop New Orleans square?
Great video, excited for the series!
What a lasting impact Walt and his crew made. It 's a shame that the current version of the Walt Disney Co no longer represents what Walt envisioned. The parks main focus is on merch and food. Disney get back to entertaining!
I LOVE your history content! ♥️
Ive watched your videos for awhile now and youre slowly becoming my favorite disneyland info creator. Keep it rollin'!
The guy had a hard time getting all that done…which is what is amazing.
Great exposition !! 👍
New Orleans is always one of the busiest parts of the park. How did you find it that empty? I love that part of the park, but it gives me anxiety because it's always shoulder to shoulder. Once again you have captured the beauty of our beloved Disneyland ♥️ thank you Brickey
This is my favorite part of the park as well. ❤ We rope drop it, bypass the lines for attractions along the way, and enjoy the lack of people before the flood.
I remember congratulating you when you hit 20,000 you were so disheartend at how long it had taken.
LOOK AT YOU NOW...RIGHT ON!!!
👍👍

Video looks great Brickey! Nice ProductionValues.
VIBES OVER RIDES !!!!! …. when you restock these we want 2 straight up … love the renewed vibe Bricky … from Australia 🇦🇺

Great video, keep kicking ass! Or…keep moving forward
Love ❤this series! Did you see there’s a new Disney series exploring the brand on History channel debuting tomorrow? 😊
There’s no doubt Walt was rare. Nice work, pal.
To think none of it could of existed and we didn’t have nothing else. But to have parks and movies like Disney create memories
Great video love the way you break things down
Thanks Jim ❤️

I tried to go link for the Walt hoodie, but it said you tube can't open? Or is it on my end.
Got it.
Hey Brickey, have you had a chance to visit The Walt Disney Family Museum up in San Francisco? A really amazing place in a beautiful location.
Walt's vision and your presentation is fantastic. Upgrading and constantly improving, outstanding! But Disney corporates, KEEP YOUR POLITICS TO YOURSELF AND YOUR WALLET HAPPY.
Walt's "folly" has become our "jolly." 👍🏾
Just seen you in the park today! Wanted to say hi but didn't wanna bug you at the same time
You have no idea just how much I enjoy your videos. I always like. I really should comment more. Your channel deserves all the growth it can get! ❤
How did you get New Orleans square all to yourself? Did you go straight there from rope drop? Nice “Walt” hoodie. I might have to buy that one.
BTW, it was great seeing you WDWNT podcast. I watch that one every Tuesday and your conversation was maybe its best episode. If you ever put out the “vibes over rides” merch again, I’ll jump on that one too.
Iv never seen New Orleans Square so empty.
I’m adding this to my “Sayings” document: Just because you have it finished, doesn’t mean it is completed.
Hey Brickey! As usual, wonderful storytelling, editing, and inspiration.
My cousin recently got into Disneyland RUclips content and started telling me about Fresh Baked and Provost Park Pass and the like. I said yeah, yeah. But check out Hey Brickey for some deeper content.

Really enjoying your videos - It's great how you explain the 'why'
Is there any chance of you putting out a video on how Pirates and Haunted Mansion were created, then how they've evolved over the years? I saw the original idea on Walt's TV show. In any case, please do more videos about how our favorites were made!
"a choir of artists" - beautiful! Also, why do your shots look so much better than other DIsneyland shots? Do you use a special camera?
@@scottmcv994 yes. I use a professional level camera and color grade my footage. Most folks are using iPhone and DJI pocket cameras, which are great easy options but you do see a little more depth and color in my videos.
@@HeyBrickey Makes sense. Can I ask what camera? I'm a corporate videographer.
@@HeyBrickey I try to use an Alexa but often end up shooting with a Ursa G2 or Sony FX9 but your stuff looks better!
❤

Splash Mountain transformation was current Disney’s PC gone crazy biggest mistake, nothing to do with Walt.
bACK FOR MORE!!
Too bad George Lucas didn’t agree with Walt on leaving movies alone
Disney+...except "Woke" is not a plus...it's actually a minus...
