How do you know the boats were cleaned because of public out cry.? Just like the light bulb on main street huh 🤡🤡
Does RNRC offer guitar picks for sale?
It’s the 2000 icon over spaceship earth for me! I remember it so well from my first trip to Disney and wish I have merch with the symbol so bad!
My family went for the 15th anniversary and every time you walked through the entry gates you had a chance of winning something. I remember my brother won a visor that lit up.
The 25th Anniversary of WDW was hour Honeymoon. It is very important to my wife and I. Glad it's yours as well.
It is sad that cleaning boats is considered news. All the water borne ride vehicles should be cleaned on a monthly basis with anti bacterial soap.
Love to see the 25th stuff. My wife and I got married during the 25th anniversary and went to Disney World for our honeymoon. And yes we are still married 😉. Hopefully going to Disney World in June.
I have more difficulty walking Epcot's parking lot than Hollywood studios
It is not a coincidence the boats were cleaned after the show. I am glad Disney responded and hope they make it a priority going forward! Nice job!
January 1997 was my family's first visit to Disney World. I didn't go. Somebody had to stay back and go to work, and I had three jobs. Just TRY to get vacation time away from three different schedules!! I couldn't, so my wife took our daughter. She was five. My wife was pregnant with our second child, so the pictures I have of the two of them standing in front of the Birthday Cake Castle are precious to me. First, it's one of very few I have of my pregnant wife. She hated getting her photo taken with a belly. I thought she looked cute, but that didn't matter. Second, every trip since has included our second daughter, and so have every Disney World photo. I wish I could have been there, but it was not to be.
I still have my 25th anniversary tank top. It doesn't fit anymore, but I cannot bear to part with it.
First visit was 1997, over the years I have acquired a lot of 25th merchandise, even have a banner that hung from the lampposts on Main Street and a 2ft piece of the vinyl wrap they used for the castle decoration. Good times. 🎉
The only park anniversary I've been able to go to is Disneyland's 60th. I wasn't a huge parks fan at the time so I remember being slightly confused why they were still celebrating in 2016😅 but I did love the castle lights/decorations and the diamond celebration cupcake😁
There used to be a website that photographed this stuff and literally shamed Disney into doing maintenance. The Company has fallen a long way down.
Great update Tom. Happy New Year!! 🥳
4:30 I came to WDW for the first time as a father in 2005. The in-room Disney feed seemed to always be playing the short “Hawaiian Holiday” during our trip. Fast forward 17 years and we’re now local pass-holders walking around Festival of the Arts and see a Hawaiian Holiday print being sold. It’s now framed and hanging in our living room and reminds me of that first trip every time I walk past.
I brought my 2-1/2 year old son to chef mickey’s this morning for the breakfast meet and greet and i gave him the autograph book that i used as a kid back in 1998. We had a half dozen staff members come to the table just to see the book!
Disney used to set the standard on cleanliness. I hope they go back to that. I don’t want to pay their prices for a dirty park & broken rides.
God, the 50th still going on? May as well extend it to the 60th, lol. Almost there!
Disney World 50th Anniversary was a Major Disappointment.
It's amazing how little effort was put into it compared to the Disneyland 50th.
My first visit EVER to a Disney theme park took place during WDW's 15th anniversary. I was a sophomore in high school, and this trip marked my first trip in an airplane as well. (Also my brother's and, if you can believe it, my mom's!!) Although I've visited Disney parks hundreds of times since then (living in Los Angeles for 11 years, with an annual pass, and now of course, Florida..along with other random trips along the way)…this first visit always holds a special place in my heart. I remember they did some sort of random prize giveaway at the entrance…we won a small prize and were so excited.
But here's the REAL legacy from that trip….my dad decided we needed to attend one of those timeshare pitch events during the trip. He had no intention of purchasing a timeshare…he just wanted the neat Disney clock they were giving away as the incentive to attend. My brother and I were so mad we wasted a day of our vacation at that thing. It hangs in my parents' house to this day. Recently, my folks asked if there were any particular items i wanted left to me in their wills. My response, "I really don't care what you give to who….except you WILL leave me that dang clock!!!"
The banana chocolate chip cookie at Gideon's is the best.
1:54 You’re not calling them out to be a jerk, you do it because you care about something that means something to you. That shined through here when you said thank you and not “finally, what a bunch of idiots.”
It would have been nice to have the parking lot trams when arriving at opening time on Wine & Dine Marathon weekend, since we ended up having to park in the second-to-last row. The parking lot was packed with marathoner cars, and there were a ton of empty parking spaces all over because those marathoners had started leaving as they finished, but they wouldn't let us go to the closer spaces.
I think you are right on the money when you said Walt Disney world needs to get cleaning
The "Remember The Magic Parade" That was my first trip and I can still remember all the words to that song!
As always love this channel. I am leaving for Disney is 2 days and I want the ice cream cone you showed.
Still have all our WDW 15th anniversary mottos. That was a big one for me (us). My wife and I spend our honeymoon there and it was my first time to visit a Disney park. We where the biggest kids. Loved every minute. We spent our 35 wedding anniversary there also….
Wow, that was fast! Great job, WDWNT! I hope the cast members who had to scrub that nasty gunk off got a lot of appreciation for their very hard work. That definitely took some elbow grease. Disney needs to appreciate their cast members and their customers and not let things get to the point where poor cast members have to do such a massive cleaning in one go.
Been looking forward to cake castle merch for months. Loungefly are wizards at making materials look a certain way. There’s no doubt in my mind they can make faux leather look like concrete disguised as brick covered in fondant that looks like concrete. Make it happen Disney!
