Tim Babb's Kingdom Comedy: Why Disneyland?

[PeanutButterfly13]

Tim, what are the best things to do at Disneyland? I mean, the best rides, the best shows, the best restaurants, etc. Thanks! Love the vids!

[PeanutButterfly13]

Tim, what's that smell?

[PeanutButterfly13]

God, I haven't been to Disneyland since I was 4. :(

[sanchez77mvpw]

get soome!

[JackMotionFilm]

110% agree with you!!!!!!!

[Kev585]

Boom! Got the hat!

[MissGoldenDreams13]

Tim, you are completely right about appreciating the Disney parks more when you're older. Now as a "grown-up" (lol) I can do all the things in Disney World that I couldn't when I was younger: go on Space Mountain several times a day, eat an ice cream sundae at 2 in the morning, etc. To heck with all the jerks who diss the Disney parks, we know we have it better!

[theatreluv007]

[conner623]

XD

BOOM, got the hat

[BoogaFrito]

Speaking truth to power! Yeah!

[jeditonykenobi]

ya anybody who asks that is dead

[jediz28]

Damn Tim,

I think this page just got hijacked by these two \/ \/

[Dragonrider1227]

People who say Disneyland is just for kids are far too uptight. The rod of their butts have rods up their butts!

[Ramubay]

Well, its more for kids now then it was when Walt Disney built it fifty years ago. Everything has been really dumbed down for dumb little toddlers (adding the cartoons to Tiki Room and Small Room, having to put Johnny Depp in Pirates...all catering to a dumber audience). I'm 16 and suppose to be the target but I'm not the target because I'm not dumb.

[Dragonrider1227]

I never found characters in any of those attractions "dumbing" them. Honestly, the original Tiki Room bored me as a kid ^^; The only time I find Disney dumbing down is with the whole Princess thing. I mean, it makes it feel like the whole Disney franchise (and fairy tales for that matter) is for little girls or something.

[Dragonrider1227]

also, have you noticed that there are a lot more thrill rides in Disney World than there were before?

[Gnillob802]

You were bored as a kid so the new version is more entertaining for today's kids, it was dumbed down for that mentality. Walt Disney strove to use new technologies to educate (Trip to the Moon), promote life-style change (People Mover) & bring new forms of entertainment (Tiki Room - the first use of audio-animatronics in 1963) and kids got that. You were bored because you were raised in an environment only to be entertained & demanded nothing more. That's your parents/teachers fault, not yours.

[Dragonrider1227]

Yeah, I've never been one to ask for a lot in life ^^;

[MalubaySyecado]

The original Tiki Room was memorable because there was nothing like it, anywhere, and you stepped into a completely different world. The new one really is Aladdin the TV show and your thinking oh Gilbert Gottfried. Disney parks should go back to taking you to a time and place that relies on your ability to imagine, its offensive that Disney doesn't think kids can do that today, even worse if they don't want them to.

[Dragonrider1227]

I think it's less that they don't think they can handle it, it's that they don't think they WANT it. People simply lost interest in it. (at least in Walt Disney World they did) Frankly, I don't think it really matters since they left it untouched in Disneyland

[Gnillob802]

The original looked real (to a kid anyway) and the show was entertaining to all, including adults who love the theme. The tikis were truly exciting with their chants. There was a sense of being in a very special place that seemed real, not a cartoon. Over time, kids got softer and were frightened by the tikis and rainstorms which were very realistic. The new show is a noisy cartoon aimed at toddlers and chucky cheese kids. The original was a classic, the new show is a straight-to-video sequel.

[Dragonrider1227]

eh, the original still bored me. In fact as a kid a lot of attractions that didn't have recognizable characters bored me (Keep in mind, I was six) with the exception of Jungle Cruise, It's a Small World, and Journey into Imagination.

And your comment about the rainstorms actually doesn't make sense. I mean, the rainstorms are scary but that Tiki Goddess that shows up in the middle of the new show isn't?

[Dragonrider1227]

and IMHO, the new show seems less to me like a sequel and more like a parody. And anyway, we should probably count our blessings. I hear Tokyo's got Stitch XD

[Gnillob802]

The Tikis looked like Tiki Bars, if you sat adjacent they were against your shoulder. Tiki music was beating drums, witch doctor chanting, heavy rain on the roof (no lighting effects, just flashes), not rock & roll or Disney, a lot a little kids cried & were frightened (per Disney, I never experienced this). The original was toned down in the 80's. As you say, Disney adds cartoons because kids today lack imagination & get bored when not entertained. They are all turning into Fantasyland rides.

[Dragonrider1227]

Ah! I didn't know they toned it down in the 80s. That's pretty lame. That's almost as bad as when they took the Pirates chasing the girls out or when the Jungle Cruise skippers had to stop using their guns. >>

I don't mind when they put characters in other rides outside of Fantasyland as long as it fits the theme. For example, I like Jack Sparrow in Adventureland, I like Buzz Lightyear in Tomorrowland, but I find the Princess's in Toontown rather off

[LissaLo13]

@Dragonrider1227 (there aren't any princesses in toontown. just sayin')

[Dragonrider1227]

They have sometimes in Walt Disney World

[LissaLo13]

@Dragonrider1227 ah but this is DisneyLAND where princesses stay in their damn place! lol

[Dragonrider1227]

Well, goodie for Disneyland XD

[filmfan2690]

What if that person actually works at disneyland!!!!! then they just rock!!!!!!!!

[ApocalypticInferno]

Sadly, Tim Babb day is almost over.... I started back at your first video, and I've almost gone through them all. So sad *tear*

[CHallski]

[Zosofan11]

[wdw1hsm1girl]

[Dragonrider1227]

Or as I like to say;

"Childish? THIS... IS... DISNEY!!" *kicks them into the pit of death*

[cdgunzz97]

[Ibanezrg120gtr]

[trhpeanut13]

Haha. love the videos.

[disneygrl92]

My mom and dad are dead inside. They hate Disneyland.

[Chosebin25]

Inspiring! Great hat too!

[lisamcquaid]

rofl "it must suck to be dead inside!" i couldn't agree more... i never understand why people say no when i invite them to disneyland with me.

[PixieEmily]

I think you have just said everything I've ever felt about Disneyland. Yay, Thank You. :)

(PS, Love the hat.)

[disneylandgirl94]

Yes, it is known that theme parks other than Disney have been known to smell like a foot.

By the way...Disneyland is NOT just for kids -it's for people who have imagination and the will to have fun!

[DisneyMoments]

"BOOM, got the hat" LOL'd.

[Wesley123456]

I want to go to Disney with Tim Babb.

Do they let you into the park knowing you're shooting videos? or is this undercover, brother?

- Wes

[disneydudette96]

I also belive in the magic of disneyland Tim...so do I. :) :) x

[amandaluvhp]

Me too!!!

[trhpeanut13]

Me three!!!

[proxnobody]

Ive never been to disneyland...but Im only 16 and I work at disney world so its all good :)

[Spheremaster0001]

you know what tim I hope you read this

I love Disneyland maybe even more than you.

so much so that I would get a job there just so I can BE there. But I live In Oroville just 50 miles north of Sacramento and it costs 300 dollars just to drive down there then another 100 a night for a hotel and finally 200 for 240 for four people to be there for one day I wouldent gripe about the prices if I lived down there like my Cousin but I don't. :(

[timbabbcomedian]

Wow and I was just whining about the $12 in gas to get there and back. So sorry. But when you win the lottery, you'll be all set! :)

[Spheremaster0001]

If I won the lottery I would sponser to get something done to the people mover tracks

^_^

[djtechnoid]

Exactly! And I have that hat too... with lights!

[disneylandgirl94]

ooo nice touch! didn't know they made the hats with lights....

[daveburleigh]

GREAT PASSION - HOW REFRESHING!!! Keep up the solid work!

[angilala1]

So HA! Disneyland is not just for kids... Walt's dream of Disney came from wanting a place where children and adults can have fun together. The end. You win, Babb!

[angilala1]

Hahaha, awesome! But Walt Disney even said: "Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the child's approach to live. They're people who don't give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought - sometimes it isn't much, either."

[timbabbcomedian]

Walt had a way of saying things much better than I (much better than most, actually)

[robtran]

You're too much, Tim. LOL!

[DisneyJazzGirl]

I haven't been to Disneyland since I was 8 years old but I do feel the same way for Walt Disney World all the time!

Just one thing wouldn't riding PoTc ride 4 times in a row at Disneyland be over an hour? lol

[timbabbcomedian]

I've got the time lol :)

[Stormtrooper0007]

Nice, Tim.

Nice.
