 hey friends today we're in Disneyland how awesome is that I am so excited this is my first time ever coming and making a video here in Disneyland and what a time to come the Main Street electrical parade is coming back today world of color Disneyland forever and I am so excited I traveled from Orlando Florida to Anaheim California and we are gonna ride all the rides I've been wanting to ride and eat all the food that I've been wanting to eat anywho's let's go do this I am probably gonna have to apologize in advance because I know that I'm gonna be super giddy and super happy today and it's probably not gonna be as smooth as the videos I've made in the past but that's because I'm just so excited to be here and I'm happy to actually share it with you guys and bring you guys along on this beautiful Disneyland day living in Orlando I go to Disney World almost daily but being here at Disneyland it just feels different it feels so much more magical and I cannot wait like I'm a big Disney history kind of guy and this is it this is this is where it all started I can't believe I'm about to walk into Disneyland right now here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday tomorrow and fantasy this is it this is this is this is Disneyland luckily I have multiple days here at the Disneyland resort so I want to just like go go go but we're gonna have a couple of videos so we're just gonna kind of focus on the things that I'm really excited to do and the things that I can't do in Disney World like the rides like the Matterhorn and Indiana Jones and stuff like that and just kind of take it easy but at the same time like freak out wow look at how magical this is like this is my first experience walking in here right now oh I love it we're gonna make our way down Main Street but look at look at this I love it Chip and Dale just hanging out here many's over there this is too good I I told you I'm gonna be very giddy Wow just taking a look down Main Street USA here in Disneyland it is so amazing and so much history of course we've got Sleeping Beauty Castle at the end there I can't wait I mean there's so many things I want to do oh look at this I can just stay in here all day yep hi how are you good morning thank you oh my Lord okay I need to get it together like I said we have multiple days here so we're gonna have plenty of opportunities to do a lot of fun stuff but I want to go ride and ride and I think I'm gonna start off with the Matterhorn I bought genie because like I said I'm going all out and we're gonna see how much we can get done I know that it's gonna be a very busy day in the park today because like I said the Main Street electrical parade is coming back today and also all the merchandise and like the popcorn buckets which the popcorn buckets are just like so beautiful so everybody's lined up to actually get all the merchandise and this is park opening right here so it is gonna be a busy day but it's okay no matter what I'm just happy to be here my first Lightning Lane of the day I picked the Matterhorn and I am so excited because the Matterhorn went down during my Lightning Lane time so I got a bonus like Lightning Lane selection so it's back up now so we're gonna go ride the Matterhorn and then we're gonna go ride Indiana Jones look at this I am just so happy there's the Matterhorn right there there's the castle look this is amazing I just love how characters are just walking around the park now my friends look at that oh wow this is really magical here the monorail going through the Matterhorn here captain hook is just hanging out because he's captain hook and that's what he does I mean this is amazing well I can't wait to ride Alice in Wonderland and here it is the Matterhorn Bob sleds and it's not quite open yet but it looks like it is gonna reopen any second now so we might not use our Lightning Lane like our redemption here and use it for something else and still be able to ride it without waiting but this Bob sled run is a high-speed turbulent roller coaster type ride through Matterhorn mountain mountain that includes sharp turns and sudden drops and stops here we go I'm so excited and I'm gonna be the first one I'm gonna be the first one of the day this is the greatest thing ever all right wow thank you this is great I am so happy right now oh we're going in I'm not gonna lie I'm a little scared but I'm so excited oh the excitement it's building that was amazing that was seriously so amazing that was so awesome one of my all-time favorite rides wow I love it and I feel like I'm doing a good job so far I mean we've only done one ride but if you're a Disney World local I think doing Matterhorn when you first get here is a good start now I think we're gonna do Indiana Jones and then Mr. Toad I feel like those are great lineups the cool thing is is we were the first rider on the Matterhorn Bob sleds for the day because it didn't open with the park it was down before the park even opened and we got to ride it first and we didn't have to wait and then we got a bonus Lightning Lane that we're gonna probably use for something else later and now we have our regular Lightning Lane that we're gonna go ride Indiana Jones for so like it's really awesome that we just get here and we're gonna be able to ride three rides without waiting now let's make our way over to Adventureland and ride Indiana Jones oh boy I am so excited there are so many things I want to eat here but it's too early in the morning and we're gonna be here for a while but so many restaurants I want to check out I want to get some of the Bengal barbecue sticks the skewers like I'm I'm I have a list and I'm gonna be checking it one thing that I immediately noticed is the wait times are substantially lower here at Disneyland compared to Walt Disney World like I'm kind of shocked today's a very busy day today too because it's a return to the Main Street Electrical Parade in Disneyland forever so the park is busy and the wait times aren't bad and it's easy to get Lightning Lanes with Genie Plus big difference just take a look at these Lightning Lane selections like we could just go ride the Haunted Mansion and like 20 minutes if we wanted to and that's like something in Disney World you really don't have the option to do like if you want to book a Lightning Lane it's not like kind of right up next that you have to wait like two or three hours so this is impressive we're gonna head on in to Indiana Jones Adventure this is one of my all-time favorite rides and it's a 45-minute wait but we can actually we have our Lightning Lane but still stop it's shocking that's a 45-minute wait this off-road journey is a high-speed turbulent ride adventure over rough and rugged terrain that includes sharp turns and sudden drops it's unlike any ride you've ever experienced oh boy here we go I did it yet like I'm getting off right now and I already want to ride it again we're definitely gonna ride it more than once Indiana Jones was amazing now I want to go enjoy a little bit of the ambience of like the castle I decided to mobile order a Matterhorn Macaroon a coffee and a cinnamon roll from the Jolly Holiday Bakery and I figured we'd go have some coffee and some pastries and just stare at the castle and here we are the Jolly Holiday Bakery Cafe I am so excited to eat all the food here in Disneyland like I want to try everything like everything so like here I was just gonna get like the Matterhorn Macaroon but I was like oh I should try the cinnamon roll why I'm here because I don't know what I'll be back but technically I'll be back probably tomorrow but that's okay because then I could try something different tomorrow all right here it is we got ourselves the cinnamon roll look at that icing a coffee and then the Matterhorn Macaroon right here and I'm so lucky because they said they just sold out but look at that no wait I don't want to lose that but I love it right the only reason I got this just for this this moment right now eating a Matterhorn Macaroon in front of the Matterhorn that's the way it should be done and that is the way we're doing it that is so good I love it and you know what the I think it's chocolate or icing the snow on top of the mountain it's actually really hard but the rest of it is really soft and delicious this is this is so good it's also gonna be fun to compare the cinnamon roll to Gaston cinnamon roll which I don't think it's gonna it's not gonna be in comparison like I can already tell by the icing I should have grabbed a fork but I didn't so we're just gonna try to mash it or squash it together this does not look good when I do it this way but it'll work oh wow okay that looks good once you get in the inside there all right right here time to find out all right that is a great cinnamon roll I have to say but I do think Gaston's tavern their cinnamon roll is a little bit better it's more fluffier I would say and I like how you get the extra icing there maybe you get extra icing here though maybe I should have tried that but both of them fantastic and I'll definitely be back there's a lot of food to eat on this trip and I'm gonna try to eat it all I'm a little bit torn because I don't know what I want to do tonight like I said three major things are coming back today so they've already had like previews of the Main Street electrical parade and Disneyland forever but world of color over at California venture comes back tonight and they're having a virtual queue and I didn't even know they were doing a virtual queue but I ran into some friends who are Disneyland locals and they told me about the virtual queue so I think I'm gonna try to get it I'm gonna try to get it and maybe try to do all three in one night and here are my Disneyland local friends Katie and Spencer best life and beyond and you guys are the ones that told me about the virtual queue so we're gonna try oh yeah we're in it we're all sitting here and I have my coffee and we're gonna try to we're gonna go for it fingers crossed okay so I think we're in here it's giving me rise of the resistance vibes but I think we're gonna do it yeah well it looks like we got the virtual queue maybe I don't know though and if we did we did if not like I said I'm not really like I'm gonna see them again eventually I'm not really worried about watching something the first time I'm more like interested in having like a Disneyland vacation and speaking of that here comes a cavalcade was a nice little cavalcade and I really like the music for it now I think since mr. toes is closed at the moment I think maybe I will book a lightning lane for big Thunder Mountain because I want to ride that here as well now it's time to make our way into frontier land and I like this frontier land it's so much better than Disney World's frontier land look at this oh I cannot wait and I can't wait to ride big Thunder Mountain because it is like a different ride here and yeah there's so much so much more we haven't gotten to yet you know something really fun just happened to me normally when I'm in a Disney park I kind of know where everything is but I got lost I didn't know where big Thunder Mountain was and I ran into some friends and they actually walked me over here so I'm glad that we're here now we're gonna use a lightning lane and then book another ride and we still have our original like multi-experience pass that we can use for anything I'll probably use it for space mountain now it's also really interesting to use the lightning lanes here and see if it works about a bing look at that as soon as I touched in here I already like made another lightning lane but for the haunted mansion so we have that actually within the hour and we are making such great time and look at this here comes our train I am fearless danger blasting area ahead this is great this is hands down a hundred percent better than Walt Disney World wow I loved it and I kept the hat on the whole time I really wish I had some coins to throw in there this was great though amazing seriously big Thunder Mountain here at Disneyland puts Disney Worlds to shame wow all I have to say is wow big Thunder Mountain here is phenomenal I love going into the explosion scene I thought that was so cool why doesn't Disney World have that like wow anyhoo I do have a lightning lane for the haunted mansion but I do want to go check to see mr. Toad's open back up because I really want to have been I've really been wanting to ride that ride and I think we're gonna like do more videos here at Disneyland I have so much I want to do but I can't make like a five hour long vlog even though I would probably I could probably definitely fill in five hours of footage so I'm gonna try to trim down everything because we are gonna stay for some nighttime shows I just haven't figured out which one I mean I think we have a virtual queue for a world of colors so who knows so we're gonna make our way over to check on mr. Toad's now and walking through fantasy land here is so magical it's so much bigger and busier but I love it oh we also got to do Pinocchio's too and going to Sleeping Beauty's Castle like there's so many things I am just I mean I'm go mode go mode all day well it doesn't look like there's hardly any wait for mr. Toad's wild ride oh look at that oh wait there's a little queue in the back there it shouldn't be too bad oh 20 minutes 20 minutes all day now this ride doesn't accept lightning lane though look at this little tiny queue back here it's like a little garden queue also I think my allergies are super kicking in over here in California my eyes are so watery and red and my nose just keeps on running and I don't know if it's just the air but I do see a lot of like like calling and stuff floating around but it's definitely it's hitting me hard this whole ride actually used to be in Walt Disney World and now it's over here and if you guys don't know you can find mr. Toad in the graveyard on the exit of the Haunted Mansion in Disney World so I'm so happy to be able to ride this again like this is one of my favorite rides I love slow dark rides I love them and here in Disneyland they have like some of the best and that Pinocchio is one of them maybe we'll do Pinocchio before we do Haunted Mansion like doing mr. Toad then Pinocchio then the Haunted Mansion that's amazing oh yeah oh there we go we're hopping in thank you thanks here we go we're trying to see our oh oh I'm so happy right now this is so amazing I literally got emotional on that ride it's gonna be tough to beat mr. Toad's but I think we're gonna head into Pinocchio's daring journey this is another dark ride but I loved mr. Toad's like I don't know sometimes I don't want to ruin the experience of the ride but I can't hold it back like I said I knew I was gonna be giggly and like riding mr. Toad's I was smiling like I wish I could have shown you guys the biggest smile on my face but it was there oh it it was there and also we can do still why which is right next to it we have space like I said I'm just gonna keep on going and going and going and going it's also really nifty how everything has a turnstile now like here at Disney it still has a turnstile I can't wait to go into Stromboli's puppet theater don't these carts look so fun and his ours had it on in somebody left their sweatshirt look at that thank you Pinocchio was awesome and did you guys catch the blue fairy like it was so cool I loved our pride so that one's really really dark it's hard to see anything in there but still it's amazing now I think we're gonna make our way to New Orleans Square we're gonna use our lightning lane and do the haunted mansion do the Disneyland haunted mansion and you guys already know sometime on this trip we're gonna be trying some Mickey Benye's some jambalaya all the good food I don't know maybe today actually I do know I want to get the Bengal barbecue maybe just like one skewer and then maybe one Benye or maybe one skewer one Benye and one jambalaya I don't know who knows maybe sadly I do have to report that Pirates of the Caribbean is closed why I'm here and the blue bayou I really wanted to get the blue bayou so not gonna be able to do that on this trip but we'll be back we'll be back I do want to ride Pirates so bad though but they got the walls up the walls are up now we have to make our way over to the haunted mansion oh but there's Jack's Barrow actually my friend oh yeah well thank you cheers well that's so cool Pirates of the Caribbean is closed but got to see Jack's Barrow okay it has been decided we're gonna go ride the haunted mansion then we're gonna come back and we're gonna get something eat at the French Quarter and probably still get the bangles barbecue look at this such a cool haunted mansion I love it I am so pumped I've never got to ride this like this Disneyland version of the haunted mansion like this is so exciting for me kind of just an awe as I walk through this queue like I love it like this is so cool looking look at this the doom buggies are coming down the stairs I'll see you all a little later I don't want to beat a dead horse here by saying how much better these rides are than Disney World and it's not that they're better it's just that they're I don't know it's something I haven't seen before but in this case everything was like brighter in the haunted mansion so I guess that kind of depends on you do you like it more darker and mysterious but I kind of liked it it was brighter and you can see the difference I could see the difference with the camera from filming it and Disney World to filming it here and I love it I love the changes and also I don't know if you guys notice what I did there with the dead horse and all well I was thinking about going to the French market actually to get some gumbo but I don't think they serve the gumbo here they had the bread bowls but it's a beef stew the gumbo was actually over at Cafe Orleans and I can't get a reservation there so maybe we're just gonna grab the bangle barbecue for now I think we're gonna head over there and see if we can get in the cafe Orleans but I do want to try the Jumbalaya though I need to keep on reminding myself that I'm gonna be here more I have more days here like I'm trying to fit everything in one day I need to just relax and enjoy but like I just I'm so full of excitement well well well what have we here it looks like I am in luck because I thought I couldn't get the gumbo in the bread bowl but over here they have the steak gumbo in the sourdough bread bowl would you look at that looks like we are gonna get exactly what we are looking to get look at this doesn't look so amazing and I have to like I have to put this bread back in here I don't know why I just want to see what it's like we don't want to spill the gumbo everywhere but then we're gonna pull it out oh yes oh that is what I'm talking about now this is the steak gumbo and you can only get the chicken gumbo in cafe Orleans but I'm so excited just for any gumbo like this is what I've been looking for and here we go oh yeah that's much too good this is so good oh my lord I love it I'm so happy we looked because I was gonna walk away I was gonna walk away and we were just gonna go get some bangles barbecue which I'm still gonna definitely try and I'm happy that we came back and just looked over here I ended up getting a little gumbo on my iron man Roosevelt shirt I guess I'm just a gumbo boy in a gumbo land here but it's okay now that we got our bread bowl gumbo business taken care of the bangle barbecue stand is right here so I mobile ordered a couple of skewers and I cannot wait to try them we're gonna get some bacon wrapped asparagus a chicken skewer and a pork belly skewer I want to try a little bit of everything like I said I'm kind of like in like of all the different food items like this is a quick service like a bunch of skewers and barbecue how crazy is that and I've been wanting to eat here so bad it's really cool watching them work back there too look at that flip those skewers and here it is take a look at those skewers we've got bacon wrapped asparagus we've got the chicken with the Polynesian sauce and then we've got the pork belly one and this all looks so good like this is a quick service in a theme park like doesn't that blow your mind and it was all under $20 like they're actually reasonably priced the skewers are like $5 a piece $5 $6 I would eat these every single day if they were at Disney World okay first skewer we're gonna try is the bacon wrapped asparagus one wow the bacon wrapped asparagus is blowing my mind right now so amazing and now we're gonna jump into the chicken and look at the chicken it's got a nice little Polynesian sauce on it I still think that this is gonna be my favorite and we still have the pork belly we're just trying each of them chicken is up next here we go wow all right we're gonna have to remove the slaw a little bit for the pork belly but oh boy look at those bad boys that shouldn't be allowed all right here we go pork belly what okay we're gonna go pork belly bacon wrapped asparagus then the chicken but all of them together are phenomenal and there's still something I didn't get I want to try the vegetable skewer and I want to try the beef but that's another day maybe tomorrow but not today because I've eaten a lot today and I just want to snack around and try a little bit but right here this is the best bang for your buck in Disneyland I think and I haven't even tried it in yet but I'm gonna keep coming back for it I really like how I'm showing my Epcot eating style hanging out eating on a trash can at Disneyland I bet you I made Epcot proud but pork belly for the win oh my word those skewers were phenomenal they were so good I am stuffed and I think the best thing to do now is probably go ride space mountain head on over to Tomorrowland ride space mountain that's the best thing to do when you're got a full stomach full of skewers well this is really sad but it looks like we're not gonna be able to do space mountain right now it's temporarily closed and I was heading there next and that's what I was using my wall saving my lightning lane for since early this morning and maybe it'll come back up but I've also come on to another dilemma because what I planned on doing was probably watching the Main Street electrical parade and then hopping over and watching World of Color World of Color is first day back is today and Disneyland forever and the Main Street electrical parade already previewed two three like two days ago but Disneyland forever is only on the weekends so this might be my only night to see it I made my way back down Main Street because I think we're gonna have to start thinking about our plan for the nighttime shows and it got super crowded like look at this a lot of people are excited to watch the return of the Main Street electrical parade and everyone's got spots all taken up and it's not for another two hours so two hours we're gonna see the parade then the fireworks Disneyland forever and then we're gonna attempt to hop over to California adventure to catch the last showing for World of Color but look at there are so many people here like it's oh boy as I'm hanging out I'm Main Street USA I'm noticing a whole bunch of different merchandise for the Main Street electrical parade they have cotton candy they have the popcorn buckets they have the zipper and they have balloons aren't those the cutest balloons you've ever seen I love it Disneyland Main Street electrical parade 50 that is so awesome I'm sure they light up you know what I'm on vacation I bought a balloon look at this I mean I love it it's really really windy out right now so I hope the fireworks don't get canceled but I also like how the balloon lights up isn't it very fancy it's gonna light up more once it gets dark out but the string is so long look at this holy moly oh wow a lot of people are now here it definitely filled in okay but Mickey is walking down Main Street right now look at this wow what are the chances of oh Minnie's on this side too oh wait and there was Pluto alright now that we got our balloon I have a friend that actually has a spot for me to watch the parade and then the fireworks and you know fingers crossed we're gonna attempt to actually run over to see World of Color so three nighttime spectacular is all returning tonight and if we can get it all done I would feel like that's the perfect Disneyland day what a perfect first Disneyland day look at this we got a nice spot right in front of the penny arcade and I love it I can't wait to actually watch the parade come down and we're front row so we're there's nobody in front of us shining more hearts for its magic separates together and the spirit walk isn't the word And now, it's time for Disneyland forever! Just imagine, if you were standing right here over 60 years ago, you'd be standing in the middle of an orange bar. One visionary man stood right where you are now. But instead of orange treats, he envisioned a magic kingdom. His man's name was Walt Disney in his journal. I loved the projection mapping on Main Street USA. And I loved the music. And I loved the part with Walt Disney and the Orange Groves. That was an amazing show. I loved it. Wow. What a great day. I don't think we're going to make it to World of Color. My virtual queue was called and it says we have like 15 minutes to get there. But it is so packed here. And the line from everyone park hopping over to California Adventure is probably so long. So I'm okay with waiting another day. I'd rather wait another day and close out the video now because this was a perfect Disneyland day to me. Absolutely perfect Disneyland day. I had the best time ever. And I'm so happy to be here again. I am so excited. It was a lot in the flight over and everything like that. I mean I've been going really hardcore and I love it. So I think we're going to call it a day. We've got plenty more Disneyland videos. Stay tuned. Some resort videos. We're going to do a lot. And I am so excited to share it with all of you guys. So I hope you enjoyed this video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye.
