  • Wow, goosebumps and tears. Fantastic

  • That is simply one of the best videos ever made! :)))

  • 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!

  • oh my gosh your family is so adorable! This video you made is so amazing. I love seeing people making the happiest place on earth even happier :)

  • I love it! Thats how we feel in Orlando! How did you filmed the underwater parts??? Regards from Germany! Nina

  • this is my bestie

  • 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!

  • @MrDodo191 I can't wait to see the newest Disney video!! Your family is amazing!

  • Y'all did Disney right, my friends!

  • I went to disneyworld in 2008 and this video brings back soooooo many memories!

  • 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!

  • I don't do matching shirts! Haha! Loved it!

  • so cute .... wonderful video and what a great family

  • so cute .... wonderful video and what a great family !

  • Love it!!!

  • i couldnt help but smile when i saw this (: my eyes starting tearing up (':

  • This is great, I only wish I could get my family to this. Thanks for sharing

  • @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!

  • @wkrushing Wow. Thanks for letting us know! Any idea how we can see this?

  • @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.

  • I ADORE wdw

  • 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!

  • @brutewolf We have decided!!! Dynamite by Taio Cruz... Now the trick will be to get Grandma and Granpa to sing that song :)....

  • Thanks fer the great video. Makes up all laugh and smile!!!!

  • 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!

  • 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 :-)

  • @carajade1 Thanks, carajade1! I know I've seen your name around here for a while. We appreciate all your comments.

  • Comment removed

  • 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.

  • This is a great video! My 2 1/2 year old son has already asked to watch it many times.

  • Haha! This is sooo CUTE!! I loved it!! ^^

    ~~ Im one of your son's classmates.

  • Haha!! This is so cute! I loved it! ^^

    ~~ One of your son's classmates.

  • 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.

  • very cool video dad 1 cool family !!!!!!can't wait for your next video

  • Whats your ungest sons name?

  • 1:44 is so nice!!!

  • 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?

    I can't wait to see your cruise video!

  • @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.

  • Just as gosh darn fun and cute a year later!

  • Oh my goodness!! This video is awesome!!!! You guys did a wonderful job!! :)

  • Is the camera water proof? Love the underwater video. By the way, Are you a DVC member?

  • @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!

  • Y'all did a super job putting the clips together. Looks like a wonderfully fun vacation.

  • This is such a great idea!

  • Looks like you had fun making this!

  • Fantastic video. Guessing you had fun making it!

  • The video was really cute, Your family is so animated.

  • One of the best WDW vids EVER!! Thanks so much!! :)

  • This makes me grin every time. Lokks like it was an awesome trip.

  • Oh my gosh! Thank you so much for making this! I watched this with tears in my eyes because you guys clearly had so MUCH FUN!! :D :D :D

  • That was great!

  • 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

  • hey what video cam did you use for your amazing video! Love the video, had great fun watching it.

  • @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.

  • great video, I plan on trying to do something like this on my cruise

  • 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.

  • Aw! I LOVE this family!

  • AWESOME videos. You do a terrific job editing and setting up the great sequences. Top Notch! Wish I had your talent. Keep it up!

  • sweet my dads put some disney vids a bit similar than this on utube. his isername is pegasus928

  • Best Disney video ever!

  • 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!

  • 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.

  • Beautiful video!

  • great video! I am looking forward to having my very on Macbook and use iMovie. I love Disney.

  • 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.

  • Your family has the best sense of humor! Great video, I know how much work went into this, and the results are superb!

  • 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 a lot!

  • 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.

  • hey thanks!

  • Walt Disney would have LOVED this video.

  • 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!

  • Ok, one minute in I was crying! Thanks for sharing this special time with all of us!

  • 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

  • WOW! Disney needs to contact you to do thier next promo. Great job, cute kids, fun family.

  • 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!

  • Loved your video so much, we decided to make one of our own inspired by your awesome family. I posted it as a video response. Hope you like it!

  • that was a complete joy to watch. Looks like you had a great vacation and your editing skills are fantastic. Thanks for sharing.

  • That is absolutely a Wonderful video......

  • 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!!!

  • 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

  • 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.

  • Glad to see you took time to put together another video on your Branson trip. Another great video!

  • Great video. What a memory. Looks like you had a great time, both at WDW and making the video.

  • Absolutely incredible!!  Great job, Dad!

  • This is the BEST video ever! Looks like you all had a wonderful time.

  • This is the bet video on youtube! Thank you so much for this and I'm so glad you guys had such a lovely 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!

  • Looks like your family had an incredibly memorable fun vacation!

  • great video, wish o could make a video like this

  • In a time when it seems a true family doesn't exist anymore - you give us hope! Lovely video, lovely family and you left me with a lovely feeling!

  • Thank you very much. Your comments made our day.

  • Great job guys! Those imovie classes really paid off Brute!

  • 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.

  • I can't tell you how many people I've shown this to, it makes us all smile! Thank you, all 6 of you!

  • Great Video! It looks like y'all had a great time! Thanks for sharing!!

  • Fantastic video, how creative, hope this becomes a huge youtube hit for you!

  • This video is awesome! It's a great advertisement for Orlando parks. You should really send it to an agency. Great job!! My girls loved the singing.

  • Fantastic video! Your family looks like so much fun!! Makes me all the more excited for our Disney Cruise in October. You are really creative!!

  • You have the COOLEST FAMILY.

  • Fantastic video!!!! I love it!

    Is that camera waterproof?? What kind of camera is that?

    Great video! I love Disney and your family seems to love it too! Great job!

  • 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.

  • What a happy, fun family you have! Thanks for sharing your video here on youtube.

  • Awesome video...such a fun family!

  • Comment removed

  • Great video!!

  • That was really cool!! You guys did a great job :) and you seem like a really fun family.

  • 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 your comments!

  • 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?

  • You guys are adorable.  That was fun to watch.

  • Fantastic. Wonderful fun to watch. Thank you for sharing this with us

  • Brilliant ! What a great video !!!!

  • Awesome....... adopt me. Looks like it was a great vacation!

  • 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.

  • Fantastic video! Puts me in the Disney mood!

  • Thank you for sharing! This brings back many memories and reminds me of my family as I was growing up! Thanks!

  • Fantastic! You guys seem like a great family!

  • 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!

  • That was AWESOME!!! Loved it! Thanks for sharing!

  • \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 ^^

  • Great fun, it's what family holidays are all about. well done.

  • Thanks for sharing this. Your family really knows how to have a good time! I can't wait to get back to wdw now!

  • Best YouTube video EVER!

  • 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"!

    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!!!

  • Best Disney Video ever seen. Disney should play it and pay you for this.

  • This is the most impressive family vacation video I've ever seen! You guys look like you have a lot of fun.

  • What a great vacation video! Your family looks like they are having the time of their life! Thanks so much for sharing!

  • This is the BEST vacation video ever!!! You guys were having so much fun! I don't think I could count how many times my family has watched this!

  • 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

  • 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.
