Listen to this. It’s a testament to Disney’s impeccable customer service. My parents went to DLand for the day, stopping by the Briar Patch where my mom fell in love with a rustic lamp that had carved bears at the base. On Christmas Eve, my dad showed up at the entry gates asking the cast members if he can go into the park without having to buy a ticket. He explained he only wanted to go to the Briar Patch to purchase the lamp for my mom as a Christmas gift. They were a little surprised by the request at first. My dad said he’ll wait at the gate if a cast member will take his money to buy the lamp for him. Instead, they let him in and accompanied him to the BP. To top it off, there was a small scratch under the base, so they gave it to him for half off. #1 in customer service!!
I feel they could easily re-theme as Mama Odie’s place, especially if they can incorporate a swamp and possibly some baldycypress. If they decide to salvage…
I remember WAITING for Splash Mountain to be completed. And I don't recall how many hours I waited in line to ride it for the first time. But AS ALWAYS....IT WAS DISNEY MAGIC!!!!!! I am sad that they have to re-theme it. I guess I am too old, and just don't think about things in a certain way. I LOVED waiting in line for it. I don't know how many times I saw people going down the final PLUNGE, and screaming with excitement!!! Made the wait TOTALLY WORTH IT!!!! I MISS OG DISNEYLAND.
Splash Mountain was one of my favorite rides, went on it opening day July 17th 1989(still have the Original paper maps, two different covers and mint i might add). And made sure I went on it for the last ride on May 30th 2023! So glad Tokyo Disneyland didn't go woke and is keeping thiers intact! Guess I'll just have to go on it a half dozen times when I go!
I recall the LONG wait in line when it first opened. But it was WELL WORTH EVERYTHING!!!! And HECK, we got to FULLY eat one of the many super frozen Disneyland DELIGHTS while waiting!!! WILL NEVER FORGET IT!!! Before pictures, and all the EXTRAS! Just the MAGIC!!!
The one memory out of the briar patch… my husband lost my daughter. She was about 10 years old and I told her if she ever gets lost talk to security or go to a store she went to the Briarpatch and the ladies there let her make the names on the Mickey ears, it was a great experience for her.❤
Hey Chris, getting even more technical about the light count, if you include each individual chandelier lamps, I make it 100 lights exactly (not counting the refrigerator) 👍
THE END of your videos's Chris @provost park pass (DANG, I am too old and don't know how to tag people!!!!) You MELT MY HEART with your CONSTANT LOVE AND SUPPORT OF US PEOPLE. You have SUCH a BIG HEART!!!!
That made me laugh out loud…and I haven’t even had coffee yet. 😂 Which reminds me…Chris, you don’t drink coffee - only rarely, right? I remember you and Adam talking about it once. Ok, if your spirit energy and jokes are at this level sans caffeinated beverages….please DON’T add caffeine. 😉😂 Although seeing you dance or sing after some coffee would be next level hi jinx 🤣 Cheers 🎉
I must say, you make the world a better place and if we had more people like yourself that actually gave a damn about people they don’t even know we would be a lot better off. Love from my family to yours.
Splash Mountain was my first Disneyland attraction I rode as child. Seeing this attraction and now the store going away as an adult brings a lot of tears to my eyes. I will miss hearing those fun tunes and those fun animatronics from America Sings so much. My favorite part of the ride was when Brer Fox was fishing Brer Bear in the water. Splash Mountain's legacy lives on to this day and I can't wait to see what Tiana's Bayou Adventure brings to this generation.
I love that store. The grass roof. It was a few years ago, but I talked to a woman who had been working there since it opened! I hope they at least keep the vibe, grass roof, etc.
Pretty sure I got my first stuffed animal (Brer Rabbit himself) as a kid there, too. Was just in the other day recounting that to my wife. Sad to hear they're getting rid of the cute critter-themed decorations.
Also, I wanted to let you know, I think you’re a wonderful person and thank you for making those special announcements to all of us to let us know not to give up you and Amanda are great❤❤
I was there yesterday and did same thing! Had the cast member take some pics of me out front, just to remember it by! Luvd Splash, best ride ever, and hoping against all odds they at least keep this store as a tribute! But sadly, they probably wont! 😢 Long live Brear Fox, rabbit, and bear 🧡
Part of what made Disneyland so great is the quaint mixed with fun. They are trying to keep current but they’re losing their soul of the park. Splash Mountain was a park favorite. Improvement doesn’t always mean better.
Please keep the jokes coming. I perform music at Senior Healthcare facilities and use your jokes to help put smiles on faces! Keep up the great Videos you are the best! Your latest joke really Quacked me up ... LOL!!!
I'm still sad that Splash Mountain is now closed at both Walt Disney World and Disneyland! 😢 But I'm so happy that Splash Mountain is staying put at Tokyo Disneyland and can't wait to ride it this May! 😀
My Husband and I just got back from Disneyland to celebrate our 5th Anniversary, and I saw the Briar Patch one last time. I LOVED Br'er Rabbit as a little boy, but i'm beyond excited to see Tiana getting her time to shine soon.
That’s where I got my splash mountain T-shirt way back in 1989 when the ride first opened! I wish I could buy another one of those splash mountain T-shirts with all the characters in the front of the ride going down the steep part! The T-shirt also had a definition type of description of the ride on the back. It had teal blue and orange as the majority colors! I would love to have another one of those T-shirts.
Hi Chris. Last time we were in Critter County I wanted to go over to the Briar Patch store but it was closed. We are going back to Disneyland the 20th and I really want to go there and get some things before they’re closed! We had no idea that there were so many lights! Thank you for doing this video about the Briar Patch store. ❤❤❤
Aloha Amazing Chris Provost..One of my first souvaniers was one of those Davey Crockett hats made with real rabbit fur that I bought there..with my own money! It was the Indian Trading post but they sold Native American crafts and Davy Crockett stuff...muskets, flintlock pistols, bows and arrows, spears( the same ones they sold in Adventerland but different colors...rubber spear heads) The roof was originally grassm which was historically correct because they did have them Thanks Chris
That’s how I remember this store being too. I feel like most of the stores were so much better, when I was growing up. The products in the various stores used to match the theming of the stores. The stores had so much more character then. Nowadays they all basically have the same random Disney merchandise in all of them. I would think that Disney could sell even more souvenirs, if the unique little shops had their own unique (non-Disney) merchandise; like the Davy Crockett, Native American, and Western themed items they used to sell here (or even all of the unique hats they used to sell in the hat shop that was in New Orleans Square). I find that Chris’ video is a very good depiction, of how this little shop no longer has any direction. It’s just full of rando, typical, Disney items that you can already find in many other shops.
@@garyburke763 the thing is we had the benefit of it being unique for many years..and it still is but so much is now melded history..it's a gem and a shame we have the Tomorrowland we do.. anyway those coon skin caps made from rabbit fur were a bug thing because Fess Parker was on TV as Davy Crockett in a hit Disney show..he and Fess Parker would make character visits to Frontier land sometimes on horses..horse were very present then . anyway the Davy Crockett hats were as hot as Mickey Ears for a while
Just discovered your videos, and love them! The words of encouragement are sweet. Have you thought about looking at "secrets" of Disney music in the parks? Example: In the Carsland ride waiting area for disabled riders one song that plays is the 1913 hit "He'd Have To Get Under -- Get Out and Get Under To Fix Up His Automobile" One rainy morning as my spouse (who uses a wheelchair) and I waited for the ride, we sang along with the instrumental version that was playing. Great fun! As are your videos!
Hey Chris, would you consider doing an updated pin trading video? We took our kids last Christmas and they got super in to pin trading, but it seems it has changed a lot since your last pin trading videos. Thanks!
I just wanted to say that as I watched this video, it reminded me of times when I was little. My dad would tell me fun facts about his favorite things in random conversations we had here and there. I could see how much he enjoyed telling me that information, and I had fun listening to it. Thanks for bringing back those memories through this video ❤ I love the casual walking and talking, giving fun facts. Thanks for the great videos!
I grew up in the 60s-70s and I used to LOVE Song of the South, in fact, I used to have a record (I think I bought it in that store) that had all the songs from Song of the South - including the ever-famous Zippidy-Do-Dah. It makes me sad that Disney has almost totally erased that wonderful movie. I wish they would bring it back.
That looks like the same duck that has a nest at Thunder Mountain. There is a duck nest while your mid-line right off to the side at Thunder Mountain. You can barely notice her, but she's very close.
I was over there last Monday, and I picked up one of the Mickey graduation hats! I’ve wanted one since I was little but couldn’t get one for my high school graduation since that’s when everything shut down in 2020. Got one this year to celebrate my college graduation and I almost teared up buying them 🥹 I was never big on splash mountain since I don’t like the icky feeling of getting soaked on water rides, but now that store will always be special for that reason.
Watching this made me think about re-theming attractions; the Treehouse was originally themed around Swiss Family Robinson, which I saw in the theaters as a child when it came out, but how many people from the 70's on have seen it? It's not relatable for the great majority of people going to the park. I've always liked it in spite of being afraid of heights, but it doesn't bother me at all to get up to the top level and look out at the park; the theme has changed a couple of times but it's really the same experience in spite of the tweaks. The same even more so for Splash Mountain being themed around Song of the South- unless you have a bootleg copy of the movie, who's seen it? Br'er Rabbit, who's that? The Treehouse may be the last of the "walk-through" attractions; Alice in Wonderland was originally going to be a walk-through, and I took the tour through the Nautilus when I was five, but now the walk-through concept seems to have been transferred to the entrance queue for attractions like Indiana Jones, Peter Pan, Space Mountain, Pirates of the Caribbean, etc., giving guests something to keep them occupied while doing the Disneyland Shuffle.
I am SO going to miss Splash Mountain! I wish they could have just revamped and updated it but used all the original animal animatronics.I’m sure the new ride will be amazing but I will really miss the original. It’s like losing part of your childhood. 😔
Closing down Splash Mountain was one of the worst decisions Disney could’ve made. It was the most popular family ride, but because of social justice warriors they bowed to pressure and removed it, replacing it with something that will never be comparable. This is one of the reasons why Disney is not doing well. Others being high prices, excessive deferred maintenance etc. Families are sick of being preached to. My advice? Go to Universal in California or in Florida and wait till next year for Universal’s Epic Universe! Until Disney decides to get back to Walt Disney’s vision of family entertainment, and not be motivated by politics, Universal is the place to go.
Very cool. Thank you for sharing about this. I remember seeing Song of the South at either a movie theater or the drive in with my parents when i was still very young and I just loved Briar Rabbit, Brair Bear & Briar Fox back then. I hope they possibly keep some sort of hidden remnant of the Briar Patch even though they may retheme it for Tiana.
How many of us have bought towels in that beautiful little store, to dry ourselves after coming out of the ride soaking wet? I regret not having bought a small stuffed rabbit when Splash opened, I looked for it every trip and they didn't sell it. Greetings from Mexico
Hi Chris, I have a silly question for you. A long time ago, I remember reading about Walt Disney's "secret" hidden office that was located above the fire station just off main street at Disneyland, which remained untouched since his passing 58 years ago. I think someone said it had been removed and or replaced or repurposed something like 20 to 50 years ago. Do you have any information about this? Oh yes, by the way, your duck joke really quacked me up. That duck actually was taking a break from doing his tax return--so far, he's pretty happy, because his return has many de-duck-tions and he's very lucky because he's been able to duck an audit.
I Grew up With Song of the South Loved it, i am 64 now and Loved Splash Mountain. I understand why they are changing things. Just my Opinion dont want no trouble. Thank you for Sharing. 😊❤ Have a Great Day.
Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, I remember riding the Disneyland skyway connecting Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. Want to know is there any remains of the Skyway. For example the original entrances and route it traveled between both lands
I think there are still some remnants of the stairs that used to lead up to the Skyway, in Fantasyland. They’re between the exit of Casey Jr. Circus Train, and the walkway leading to Frontierland.
I wonder how Walt would feel about the mixing of souvenirs from Galaxy's Edge with those of typical Disneyland (like the socks, the ears, etc.) I get that some stores on Main already do this but the theming of the Briar Patch (and soon to be Tiana's something or other) seems like it should not incorporate Star Wars. Walt wanted each section of the park to be its own experience, uniquely themed.
I don't know if I can call you lucky or deprived because you didn't see Song of the South. Some of the Brer Rabbit clips were featured on Disney television. "Lucky" means you don't miss what you don't know. "Deprived" is due to not experiencing the joy of Brer Rabbit out-foxing Brer Fox. How long will Tiana's Bayou Adventure last?
Si no has visto la película… búscala en RUclips… a mi en lo personal solo me gusta la parte animada … que es precisamente en lo que basaron la atracción…
I'm going to miss the fryer patch it's a very cute little store about a couple of merch there myself nice joke on the socks nice joke on the socks there Chris I'm going to miss
What you said is only part of the Song Of The South. There is a little boy and his mom staying somewhere in the south where black people talked "Yessa Sir" and stuff like that. And, I haven't seen it in awhile, but I think the mom doesn't want her son talking to Uncle Remis. He's telling the son and a little girl stories about Brair Rabbit, Brair Bear, and Brair Fox (may have spelled Brair wrong).
But thel little boy's mom didn't want him to hear the stories for some reason. Like a kid, he went anyway. But yes bratty white kids too.@@amazingjason455
The Briar Patch store may have been the store I remember being Winnie The Pooh themed. Looks like the same store, but doesn't sound like where I remember seeing it. I probably don't remember. I think it was 1992.
Man, I miss splash mountain, I was at Disney land last year and missed this store😢Long Live Splash Mountain!!🦊🐰🐻

I miss Splash Mountain. Even if they re-theme the shop, I hope they keep the character of the building. Such a cool place with a long history.
I feel they could easily re-theme as Mama Odie’s place, especially if they can incorporate a swamp and possibly some baldycypress. If they decide to salvage…
I’ll miss hearing the Splash Mountain music the most, them 3 songs are bangers!
Pretty good, sure as you’re born!

So sad...Splash Mountain was one of the best rides EVER at any of the parks and the store has always been incredible too
The woke social justice warriors decided you didn’t need that ride. It didn’t fit their agenda.
@@Golfer5824so true. Exactly why I won’t ever come back. I refuse to support this company.
Splash Mountain was one of my favorite rides, went on it opening day July 17th 1989(still have the Original paper maps, two different covers and mint i might add). And made sure I went on it for the last ride on May 30th 2023! So glad Tokyo Disneyland didn't go woke and is keeping thiers intact! Guess I'll just have to go on it a half dozen times when I go!

No it wont😂

This video is really making me miss Splash Mt. Think I'll turn on some Splash area music to go back in time.
Aloha Amazing Chris Provost..One of my first souvaniers was one of those Davey Crockett hats made with real rabbit fur that I bought there..with my own money! It was the Indian Trading post but they sold Native American crafts and Davy Crockett stuff...muskets, flintlock pistols, bows and arrows, spears( the same ones they sold in Adventerland but different colors...rubber spear heads)
The roof was originally grassm which was historically correct because they did have them

Great video, I also got my first plush from this store...it was a large Thumper doll and I still have him 40 years later.
Excellent vlog! Have to head over there before it's gone/completely changed 💙
Loved the duck joke. 😅
That looks like the same duck that has a nest at Thunder Mountain. There is a duck nest while your mid-line right off to the side at Thunder Mountain. You can barely notice her, but she's very close.

Love how Chris films that shop "for prosperity's sake" :P
I have the South of the South DVD if you want to see it...I live by you and would be happy to lend it to you! WONDERFUL movie!! Hugs!
I saw a t-shirt that said, "bad puns are how eye roll." For some reason I was reminded of it today.
I love the Briar Patch. That’s where I’ve gotten all my ears!
Id like to see more videos like this about other stores! Super detailed, showing all the stuff for sale, i really enjoyed this!
We sold quite a few of the Davey Crockett hats when I worked there(96-99)

I am SO going to miss Splash Mountain! I wish they could have just revamped and updated it but used all the original animal animatronics.I’m sure the new ride will be amazing but I will really miss the original. It’s like losing part of your childhood. 😔
You gotta watch Song of the South. I'm genuinely surprised that you haven't seen it.
What a low-budget flip. Disney turned iconic Splash Mountain into Trash Mountain.
Closing down Splash Mountain was one of the worst decisions Disney could’ve made. It was the most popular family ride, but because of social justice warriors they bowed to pressure and removed it, replacing it with something that will never be comparable.

Great idea for video ❤. It’s a darling store that we will miss in a way…. I enjoy your jokes! Thank you!😊
Very cool. Thank you for sharing about this. I remember seeing Song of the South at either a movie theater or the drive in with my parents when i was still very young and I just loved Briar Rabbit, Brair Bear & Briar Fox back then. I hope they possibly keep some sort of hidden remnant of the Briar Patch even though they may retheme it for Tiana.
Love your videos. Keep inspiring us all. Thank you sending your family hugs
Story of brer rabbit was told in song of south but much more to movie and story of brer is a fable and more to his story
You need to go watch the movie. Classic Disney. Great movie.
How many of us have bought towels in that beautiful little store, to dry ourselves after coming out of the ride soaking wet? I regret not having bought a small stuffed rabbit when Splash opened, I looked for it every trip and they didn't sell it. Greetings from Mexico
The Briar patch is an Eight carrot gem
I loved your little Willy Wonka callback. "Button, button whose got the button?"
I need ppl more ppl to buy Davy Crockett hats. Plz and ty.
Hi Chris, I have a silly question for you. A long time ago, I remember reading about Walt Disney's "secret" hidden office that was located above the fire station just off main street at Disneyland, which remained untouched since his passing 58 years ago. I think someone said it had been removed and or replaced or repurposed something like 20 to 50 years ago. Do you have any information about this? Oh yes, by the way, your duck joke really quacked me up. That duck actually was taking a break from doing his tax return--so far, he's pretty happy, because his return has many de-duck-tions and he's very lucky because he's been able to duck an audit.
Chris, you are amazing and I really appreciate you. Thank you 😊
Br'er Rabbit used his mind and reverse psychology to save himself. Not bad.
I Grew up With Song of the South Loved it, i am 64 now and Loved Splash Mountain. I understand why they are changing things. Just my Opinion dont want no trouble. Thank you for Sharing. 😊❤ Have a Great Day.
Should have kept Splash and brought back Song.
I loved this ride!!! I'd play the song on other water park rides at other parks that were lame to get the vibe
You won't get any trouble. Nobody was actually offended by the ride. Just perceived offense on the behalf of others.

Love the video as always good
Great video!
Back in the 1980s and early 1990s, I remember riding the Disneyland skyway connecting Fantasyland and Tomorrowland.
Want to know is there any remains of the Skyway. For example the original entrances and route it traveled between both lands
I think there are still some remnants of the stairs that used to lead up to the Skyway, in Fantasyland. They’re between the exit of Casey Jr. Circus Train, and the walkway leading to Frontierland.
I wonder how Walt would feel about the mixing of souvenirs from Galaxy's Edge with those of typical Disneyland (like the socks, the ears, etc.) I get that some stores on Main already do this but the theming of the Briar Patch (and soon to be Tiana's something or other) seems like it should not incorporate Star Wars. Walt wanted each section of the park to be its own experience, uniquely themed.
Howdy howdy howdy!
Great imagineering of the store. Does anyone know if Tony Baxter was behind it?
Hey Chris! How do you catch a Unique Rabbit?
U Nique up on them!
💚💚💙🤣
How do you help a poorly groomed rabbit? You use hare spray…. 😀
Zing! 🤣🤣💚💙
I don't know if I can call you lucky or deprived because you didn't see Song of the South. Some of the Brer Rabbit clips were featured on Disney television. "Lucky" means you don't miss what you don't know. "Deprived" is due to not experiencing the joy of Brer Rabbit out-foxing Brer Fox.
How long will Tiana's Bayou Adventure last?
11:58
Actually if you count 4 lights in each chandelier that would add up to 48 lights
38 track lights
9 lamp lights
For a grand total of 95 Lights!!!
Fair enough. 💚💙
Si no has visto la película… búscala en RUclips… a mi en lo personal solo me gusta la parte animada … que es precisamente en lo que basaron la atracción…
I'm going to miss the fryer patch it's a very cute little store about a couple of merch there myself nice joke on the socks nice joke on the socks there Chris I'm going to miss
Thank you Sir
What you said is only part of the Song Of The South. There is a little boy and his mom staying somewhere in the south where black people talked "Yessa Sir" and stuff like that. And, I haven't seen it in awhile, but I think the mom doesn't want her son talking to Uncle Remis. He's telling the son and a little girl stories about Brair Rabbit, Brair Bear, and Brair Fox (may have spelled Brair wrong).
Uncle Remus is a likable good guy. The only negative portrayals are bratty white kids.
But thel little boy's mom didn't want him to hear the stories for some reason. Like a kid, he went anyway. But yes bratty white kids too.@@amazingjason455
So in other words the Briar Patch is like an Hawaiian rabbit, "Hare today gone to Maui!" 😂
HOO boy!!! 🤣🤣🤣💚💙
The Briar Patch store may have been the store I remember being Winnie The Pooh themed. Looks like the same store, but doesn't sound like where I remember seeing it. I probably don't remember. I think it was 1992.
How do you help a rabbit keep her fur out of her eyes? Use hare spray.
Zing!! 💙💙🤣💚
I was there today and the Briar Patch sign is gone 😢
