I played your family's vid for my kids to get them psyched for their first trip to Disney. They are 2 and 4 and I wanted to get them ready for characters, rides, hordes of people, and most of all...FUN! Glad to hear that you liked our vid too, thanks for commenting!
Hey guys! What's up? This is the youngest "man" in the family and we are at Disney world right now. It is amazing! My dad says he plans to have the video out within a month or so! See you laterz!
This was AWESOME! We are getting ready for a trip and your video literally made me cry! It was just so beautiful and exciting and made me even more excited for our trip! Thanks for doing this!
@brutewolf I took a video with my point and shoot camera, but cannot upload until I return home on Saturday. The internet using my phone's data connection is too slow. I am sure you can find it on youtube somewhere. Check @insidethemagic
I saw a couple of pictures and videos of the Wolf family during tonight's premier of Disney's The Magic, The Memories, and You castle projection show at the Magic Kingdom. Congratulations!
@brutewolf We just saw it on youtube. look up The Magic, The Memories and You castle projection show on attractions magazine. Congrats! You guys are regular Disney Celebreties!
This is the younger son and I wanted to say that this was one of our first videos and we all enjoyed it. I wanted to say, when we're doing the sprinkler, you can see Zoe,my littlest sister hiding behind Curtis.
Wolf Family, I need your Help!!! Since me and the kids watch you video all the time to get excited for our upcoming Disney trip, I have decided to make our own "dancing" video (Remember that imitation is the most sincere form of flattery:) ). Help me choose a song...Any Suggestions?
@Duke1690 Haha! Not sure if I can recommend the "perfect song", but I can tell you what I do. Once I find a song I like, I listen to it a dozen times or so, trying to mentally map out the slow and fast parts, instrumental vs. vocal, etc. and try to plan some ideas around the tempo and mood. I think planning around the song is a lot more important than what song you actually pick. Let me know what you guys do!
We love watching this video and every time we see the commercial we wave at the tv at home or at the Disney Store and yell HI ZOE! Thank you for all the great videos! Hopefully we can bump into you when we are at disney this coming feb and june (staying at the Beach Club Villas too!)
Another great video. I work at the Walt Disney World Resort as a Bus Driver and this video makes me want to creat Magic in Motion. I hope that you had a fantastic time at WDW. See you on the road
Hi brutewolf, I just discovered your videos from your link on Royal Caribbean discussion boards. I love them! I hope you don't mind if I steel your idea for our March Disney Cruise!
I also LOVE seeing your family in the Disney Commercials. You guys ROCK!

Huge Congratulations to the Wolf Family ... appearing in the WDW commercial tonight on CBS! To paraphrase a famous young lady "I want to see it again!"
@Quickstoptim I'm curious. Are you in Florida? The version where we are the most prominent is for the Annual Passes, so I assumed it was only running in Florida.
@brutewolf@brutewolf My wife and I were at the Beach Club last week. Had the TV on in the room (muted) and suddenly she blurts out "Hey! That was Zoe!". So it is certainly on in Florida. I have yet to see it at home in Massachusetts but I don't watch much television and when I do I don't see Disney advertising. I'm probably not in their target demographic. :)
Also, last year I downloaded your video and converted it so we can watch it on our HDTV. We watch it all the time. Great job.
so thrilled that Disney has recognised your wonderful work and used it in their official campaign, your family was the perfect example of what they are trying to capture, I got so excited when I saw your girls!! your video will always be the one me and my kids go find when we need to smile :-)
My family was just watching the commercials for Disney's new memories campaign, and we were so happy to see some adorable and familiar faces. :) Congrats and thanks for sharing your family with fellow Disney lovers like us!
Not sure if you know already, but part of your video of the little girl dancing has been used in Disney Worlds latest TV advertising campaign. You can see it at Disney World's offical you tube channel -Called Disney Parks -- Disney Vacation Memories
I was just watching a commercial spot online for Disney with their new campaign, and I saw part of this video. I personally think they should use all the Disney parts of this video, but it is cool that at least part of it got on there. Hope to see it on TV soon.
Amazing and so fun. What movie making software do you use for these videos? I am looking to upgrade. I use imovie now and have used Sony Vegas studio in the past. Any hints would be great.
@jennatfleck Sounds like you're in the same boat I was in. I made this video in iMovie, then I stepped up to Final Cut for the rest of them. If you check out "The Wolfs Dance Oasis of the Seas" you can see how much more flexible it is.
Thank you so much for sharing! Your family is so full of love and joy and it is such a pleasure to watch you enjoying your vacation together!
Do you do lots of planning beforehand for your videos? Do you decide who will act out what scenes at what parts of the parks before you get there? Do you have a recording of the song that you play as you lip synch so you have the timing right?
@vanabannana Some planning. If we don't have any ideas, which is most of the time, we just wing it. We never had music playing along for this video. We tried to get it close, and then just cut off the clip once it got out of sync.
@kycruisecrazy Yes to both. The camera is an Olympus SW 1030. They have a newer model out now. As for DVC, we've been members for about five or six years now. We "own" at Beach Club, where you may have seen a couple of shots.
I love this video and have watched it several times. It just makes me smile and be homesick for Disney. I only wish that we could make videos this memorable!
Thanks for that will help on my search for a new camcorder. I thought the new hard drive ones would be a good way to go. thanks again for your help and great vids. hope you do another soon
@TheGunnersal Thanks! I used a Sony HCR DC-96, which uses mini-DV tape. I upgraded to a new Sony HDR XR-500V, a hard drive camera, for the Branson and Christmas videos. I love my hard drive camera, but mini-DV tape is still a great format, and has gotten very low-priced.
I watched this video first when it was posted on dis board. Since then I watch all your video every day because my granddaughter can't get enough of your videos. Please make more!
Thanks for posting videos and sharing your family with all of us.
This video is absolutely awesome! I'm from Brazil and my first visit to WDW was in january 2009. When I saw this video I was like : 'OMG! it's super disney! This video has all the magic and the spirit that we found in Disney.' it's awesome see how ur family is having fun and enjoying each other. Next time I'm gonna make a video like that. Congratulations for the idea. A super kiss to all ur family. :)
Can't wait to see it! Be sure to check out the Beatles cover band at the British section of Epcot. They were on for a second in this video, with my daughter dancing in front of them. Have fun!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
My family and I go to disney 3 times a year and love it, we watched this video at a friends xmas party about 20 people and all agreed that we were completly embarassed for these kids, seems like the father was more consumed with making a video than a vacation. In another note glad to see a family enjoying each others company so much.
Hm I didn't see that at all - most of the things included are regular pictures and videos that families take on vacations. And the children seem to be enjoying it a lot anyway!
Everyone's entitled to their own opinion though if course :)
nja2775, yes we did enjoy each other's company so much. You're way off base that I was consumed. Watch all three videos; there are nearly twenty people, including 7 adults whom I would have to manipulate. This was maybe the most fun our family has ever had together. The kids are upset that we don't do a New Year's video or weekend at Grandma's. I'm limiting them to 2 a year, 3 tops. If you know Disney, watch again. This took about 5 minutes a day. Less effort and more fun than a family portrait.
@brutewolf I totally agree with you. I loved your video so much that I tried to do my own during our last trip to Disney. It took just a few minutes a day and it was so much fun. Now if I can ever get around to learning the software so that I can make a great video like yours. That's time consuming. Your video puts a smile on my face every time I see it and every time I even hear the song, I think of you guys. So when is the next trip to Disney? I would love to see a new Disney video.
Oh my....I just love this video. My 3 year old son just asked me why I was crying. And I said it's because of this wonderful video. Your family looks like they have so much fun together. So cool. Now to show this to my Husband and convince him that we need to do something like this for our trip, in a few weeks. Thanks so much for sharing.
Hey, love your videos. Awesome! Just had a quick question, how do you process your video onto youtube. We are going to Disney in 16 days and would love to add the music just like you did.
Thanks! I used iMovie '09 on my Mac. I learned most of it from the online tutorials. If you have a PC, some people insist you can do almost all of this in Windows Movie Maker. For more advanced options, I've heard good things about Sony Vegas.
I totally agree. This video was wonderful! Will you come with my family on our next trip and create a video for us? :) I love even the underwater video. You guys look like a great family who had a team mentality to make this video so great! Such a fun experience to watch!
Absolutely loved your Orlando and your Big Cedar Lodge videos. We live close to Kansas City, so we visit Big Cedar as well. Heading on a Disney Cruise in a few weeks, so your video got the whole family excited! Love your son's shirt too--might have to get "I don't do matching shirts" for him as well. LOL!
I started watching this AWESOME video when it was first posted and watch it quite frequently it is a wonderful "pick me up"and we are leaving for Disney in 4 days...Yea!! You have really started a rage, but I must say I am very partial.. Just Love this.
Love your videos. You guys look like you have so much fun together. We are going to DW in Oct for our yearly trip and I would love to do a video like this. Thanks for the laugh and smile. You made my day. S.A. Arlington, TX
We loved your video too, and we just finished ours from Disney as well. Great inspiration for treasuring great family times! It will probably be a new tradition for us. Hope you enjoy it!
This video always puts a smile on my face. Glad you all had a great vacation. I will never be able to hear this Rascal Flatts song again without wanting to be in Orlando :-(
This is just the best idea!!! My hubby and I are taking our daughter in the spring for her FIRST visit! We have decided that we have to make a video like this! You guys are a great inspiration!!!
Thanks again for all these comments. We're on our "end of summer blast" near Branson, MO. We may try to put something else together here if we have time.
Your video made me cry, just remembering all of the great times I have had with my kids at Disney...Can't wait until we go again in November!! Thanks!
Apologies if the number of hits has gone up dramatically it is probably because I have personally viewed this over and over again. It reminds us of the great time we had when we went. Great song now firmly embedded in my mind. Had to find out who sang it as we had never heard it before. Looks like you all had so much fun.
Olympus 1030-SW water resistant camera. We've had a lot of fun with it. We've had swimming pool birthday parties where we take pictures of each kid underwater, then send them home with it. Last year we used it to take an underwater Christmas card photo.
This was a great video. A quick question: how did you manage to have the camera keep focus on the rides? Did you manually set focus and iso/shutter speed? I'm going down to Disney next month and I wanted to get footage of the rides for our video - but I'm a novice and all my motion video comes out blurry.
I didn't do anything unusual with the settings. The main thing is to turn your elbows into part of a tripod. Brace your elbows into your ribcage and hold tight. Also if you notice, I'm focusing on something (my kids) that are essentially still relative to me. I'm not filming things passing by. Even still, a lot of it turned out blurred. You saw a few seconds of decent footage.
Thanks for the notes. I just want to say again that this is an awesome video. As some other folks have said, you should send this to someone at Disney - this would make a great advertisement for them.
I was pretty sure some (dorky)mousekateers met up with you before you left for Orlando- --How come they didn't make the cut?? Was it the singing or the ears?
What a great video! You have a beautiful family and it looks like you all have lots of fun together.
Next time look for the dancing security guard at Universal Studios Orlando/Citywalk. He is an older guy that loves to dance. There are several youtube videos of him. You can search "dancing security guard Universal" and get several videos of him.
I absolutely LOOOOVE this video! You were so creative, and did a great job of editing. But, you also showed how much fun a family can have just being together--thanks so much for posting this!
\o/ omg you guys looked like you had so much fun and it brought tears to my eyes honestly it was so much fun watching this video cause I love this song and I am a huge Disney nut hehee Very nicely done ^^
I've sent this to many of my Disney friends. What an inspiration your family is. We all love that one t-shirt the oldest son is wearing and I hope that on your next trip to the Happiest Place on Earth, you will all "do it again"!
I have to say this is the BEST Disney family vacation I've seen on YouTube. Your family is just like ours. We are complete Disney nuts and we let our hair down, smell the roses and dance with our hearts on our sleeves for the world to see - or at least for those in Disney World to see. Loved it and will have to remember it to get me excited when next year's trip rolls around for us. Great memories you've created for you and your kids. DISNEY ROCKS!!!
Yo Jen & familia, kudos to you for finding that inner talent you all obviously possess, I'm sure it came from your ma's side of the family. And good job editing you wise Brute, you. Loved it and am looking forward to more! Your cousins in Oregon would make good extras or back up singers. Let me know when ya'll are ready for filming here in the west. XX OO Auntie Raylene
Brut .. You are a genius-This is so awesome--everyone of you add something special to the video.. I can't stop watching it-- It is such a "feel good" piece of work---
What can Brown do for you?? Obviously a lot... great video.. I am the cousin here in Orlando that works for Disney.. (see Susan) This is really good, high quality stuff, really well thought out. Disney should hire you, and if there is anything I can do for you here in Orlando, please let me know.. Susan can find me... Keep up the good work and I am glad your family had a great time here in Orlando.
Thanks, to the entire Wolf family, for a most fun video. You all have shown the essence of a Disney trip. Hope to see more in the future. Thanks again.
This is my favorite video of all time of a family trip to Orlando! Wow there was a lot of thought put into it. What a great job! I smiled thru the whole video.
So many happy tears right now! What a precious family and brilliant video :)

Thanks! I used iMovie '09 on my Mac. I learned most of it from the online tutorials. If you have a PC, some people insist you can do almost all of this in Windows Movie Maker. For more advanced options, I've heard good things about Sony Vegas.

I totally agree. This video was wonderful! Will you come with my family on our next trip and create a video for us? :) I love even the underwater video. You guys look like a great family who had a team mentality to make this video so great! Such a fun experience to watch!

Absolutely loved your Orlando and your Big Cedar Lodge videos. We live close to Kansas City, so we visit Big Cedar as well. Heading on a Disney Cruise in a few weeks, so your video got the whole family excited! Love your son's shirt too--might have to get "I don't do matching shirts" for him as well. LOL!

Great video, all we heard was this song while we were there in Sept/Oct '08 and I didn't know what it was until I watched Cars!
Anyway, great song choice and great editing

Apologies if the number of hits has gone up dramatically it is probably because I have personally viewed this over and over again. It reminds us of the great time we had when we went. Great song now firmly embedded in my mind. Had to find out who sang it as we had never heard it before. Looks like you all had so much fun.

Olympus 1030-SW water resistant camera. We've had a lot of fun with it. We've had swimming pool birthday parties where we take pictures of each kid underwater, then send them home with it. Last year we used it to take an underwater Christmas card photo.

DrPepper1122 2 years ago
This was a great video. A quick question: how did you manage to have the camera keep focus on the rides? Did you manually set focus and iso/shutter speed? I'm going down to Disney next month and I wanted to get footage of the rides for our video - but I'm a novice and all my motion video comes out blurry.
mccollsk 2 years ago
I didn't do anything unusual with the settings. The main thing is to turn your elbows into part of a tripod. Brace your elbows into your ribcage and hold tight. Also if you notice, I'm focusing on something (my kids) that are essentially still relative to me. I'm not filming things passing by. Even still, a lot of it turned out blurred. You saw a few seconds of decent footage.
Thanks for your comments!
brutewolf 2 years ago
Thanks for the notes. I just want to say again that this is an awesome video. As some other folks have said, you should send this to someone at Disney - this would make a great advertisement for them.

I was pretty sure some (dorky)mousekateers met up with you before you left for Orlando- --How come they didn't make the cut?? Was it the singing or the ears?

Next time look for the dancing security guard at Universal Studios Orlando/Citywalk. He is an older guy that loves to dance. There are several youtube videos of him. You can search "dancing security guard Universal" and get several videos of him.

Congratulations on a beautiful, loving family.

I have to say this is the BEST Disney family vacation I've seen on YouTube. Your family is just like ours. We are complete Disney nuts and we let our hair down, smell the roses and dance with our hearts on our sleeves for the world to see - or at least for those in Disney World to see. Loved it and will have to remember it to get me excited when next year's trip rolls around for us. Great memories you've created for you and your kids. DISNEY ROCKS!!!

Disney should hire you, and if there is anything I can do for you here in Orlando, please let me know.. Susan can find me... Keep up the good work and I am glad your family had a great time here in Orlando.
