I just love it when they bring guests to attractions that aren't as beloved as your Pirates or Haunted Mansions and they defend it so hard to the point of almost delusion. It's so fun.

LMAO he actually came back to defend Living with the Land!

I think if they ever tried to remove Living with the Land, Offhand would chain himself to one of the boats.

Both of these people would do these things even if they weren't closing down the rides :D :D

I gotta say, Dallon hit the nail on the head when he said it is a ride that Walt would’ve made and enjoyed. That may be what Disney is missing.

I just have to say Dallin is the real deal. Met him at WDW in January and he got stuck in our skyliner gondola. We talked the whole ride and he spent much of it talking about his love for LWTL.

The land pavilion is in the shape of a volcano! If you look at the concrete in front, it looks like lava coming out of the volcano. What makes new land? A volcano.

I appreciate how all the ad reads aren't generic recycled reads and are custom for the attraction they're discussing

I have been dying for an episode on livin since day one and they’re bring Dallin back? This is gonna be amazing.

It’s one of my favorite segments 🙌🏻

I don't have an attachment to this ride, so i have no skin in whether or not this passes or fails. However, I disagree with failing it on innovation. A crucial innovation of this ride was overlooked in the discussion: it pushes sustainable food sourcing for theme parks forward. Theme parks use up a lot of energy and tend to be not great for the environment. By introducing an attraction that both sustainably provides food for the park ( cutting out the pollution created by transporting food to the park on ships and trucks) AND has the potential to reduce the park's carbon footprint by planting crops that would absorb some carbon emissions - it seems like this attraction is a huge step forward into a future where sustainable and environmentally conscious practices are standard in park operations. its not the most exciting innovation in terms of fancy ride technology, but i would argue that its potentially a massive innovation in terms of park management and logistics.

I ate at garden grill for my 9th birthday dinner and they had all the characters come over and they had the whole restaurant stop and sing to me and other diners kept stopping by to wish me a happy birthday, so that restaurant and living with the land always hold a special memory in my heart

The Prodigal Son returns

This is my highschool orchestra teacher's favorite ride. When we went to Disney as an orchestra he kept recommending it(which isn't surprising cause he has a farm at home). So as a gift from my senior class I made him a hat with glittery letters that said "The Land's #1 Fan". He was very thrilled lol

Finally!!!! Living with the Land is the Goat of Epcot

Disney missed the opportunity to call the restaurant the ‘Crop Rotation’.

There is something really special about old EPCOT and I think Living With The Land perfectly shows this. The shiny new toys of Cosmic Rewind and Remy’s are great, but it’s rides like The Land and Spaceship Earth that make me love going to EPCOT.

Haha yess! When I saw this in my feed, my first reaction was "they better have Dallin back for this one!"

We go on this LWTL every time we go and my small kids are fascinated by it too. The dark scenes are amazing and the greenhouse is so cool for the adults while the kids LOVE looking for hidden Mickey's. I would definitely want to work on that ride as a CM.

I FUCKING LOVE OFFHAND DISNEY

EPCOT used to feel like an episode of classic Star Trek with its optimistic science-based view of the future.

This is my dad’s favorite ride (he’s a farmer). When we first started going he liked seeing the new farm techniques. Nowadays it’s outdated but he still likes it for promoting farm life

I don't know how to really describe it, but I feel like Living with the Land perfectly captures what Epcot is about. It's my favorite ride there. I go annually for food and wine and after getting a really nice buzz around world showcase I love heading over there to just vibe. Get on a boat, zone out, relax and just be at peace. It's so zen, and I could live in the garden. If you ever get there chance to take the walking tour, do it.

Okay I feel like since we’re doing living with the land now, we should definitely tackle Walt Disney’s Enchanted Tiki Room

Their set is based on it, they have to do it

Definitely one of my favorites. I did the Behind the Seeds tour last week. You get a slice of cucumber to sample and get to feed the fish. Very cool tour. Rode the ride right after and got evacuated right after the dark ride part and basically got to retrace the path from the tour. It was the best day!

one of my sibling and I’s favorite bits is talking about Living with the Land’s crazy “fifty foot drop” while waiting in the queue and boarding. I’m so ready for this.

I gotta go with YES Living with the Land pushes theme park tech forward. No other ride in the world has a working farm that not only grows its own food but then makes that food available in the theme park. That is an extremely efficient system. Then need to start raising cattle at Animal Kingdom to help complete that cycle.

Dallin's final argument was pure poetry.

Honey, come quick! Offhand is back on FYA!!!

"Does dating you result in big Lemons?" is now going to be one of my tindr questions.

Living with the Land is one of my all time favorites-it is my Mom’s all time favorite. But I also enjoy Grand Fiesta Tour and Muppet Vision. 🤣

Grand Fiesta Tour is soooo good!!

Living with the Land is always a must do for me whenever I go to Epcot. I love how its just a relaxing ride. No thrills, no flashy gadgets. Just serene. It keeps the spirit of Epcot and for being such an old attraction it holds up to this day.

😅 laughed at them talking about being inspired to do aquaponics. I distinctly remember sending ride videos to my brother who WAS actually studying aquaponics and freshwater science.

Love that! In the same vein, I constantly talk about how Spaceship Earth was definitely the first brick in the path leading me to become a linguist.

Offhand Disney is one of my favorite channels and this is one of my favorite new podcasts. Have Dallin on every week!

Seeing the aquaponics/hydroponics is the reason I got into permaculture and agriculture. 15 years later I now work in Forestry ❤️

Yes!!! The best ride in Epcot has arrived.

THE MOMENT I'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR! Offhand Disney and FYA collab. Naturally, where Offhand Disney goes, Living with the Land follows. Or is that the other way around? WHATEVER! My Tuesday CANNOT get any better! So stoked to hear the whole thing. Love you guys!

I’ve been WAITING for this one!!!!!

i haven’t been to epcot since i was around 5 yrs old so i didn’t remember much. when i went in 2022 i didn’t have any expectations except for being excited to “drink around the world” with my friends. we were all so pleasantly surprised w this ride and the calm ambience, the green house, and the learning aspect. it’s now my favorite ride in disney world and if i ever get to go back i would definitely want to ride this ride multiple times again💓

As a child, I always thought that the farmhouse belonged to John and Sarah (from Carousel of Progress). I have loved this ride since I was really little - the Mickey watermelon blew my mind. Epcot has always been my favourite since I was young - growing up in the 80s/90s. LWTL is a gem and a close second to Spaceship Earth for me.

Also....I definitely credit Spaceship Earth for my becoming a linguist. Just saying....might not be aquaponics, but could definitely happen :) Also, my (then) 11-year-old declared this as his favourite ride after his first time. He still talks about it 18 months later.

Love this fan theory. Maybe there's hope for the Hollywood test yet jaja

I rode this for the first time yesterday and I have to say, it's an instant new favorite. I like that the tropical greenhouse portion shows you plants that you may not have seen in the wild before-- Papaya, dates, ginger root, and (of course) breadfruit were all things I'd never seen growing in person before. It's like a zoo for plants!

I. Love. This. Ride. (I used to work there but regardless I would still love it) I want to come back now that I have finished the episode to say I love how this ride was defended. Y’all get it ❤

Impatiently waiting for the day Dame Judi Dench and Spaceship Earth get the episode they deserve.

This ride was such a fun experience! Rode it my first time last summer, I love the theming of the whole building it felt super nostalgic! I love this podcast ! Never stop making episodes !

When and if you do Muppet Vision 3D. I want the episode to start by saying "It's The 'For Your Amusement' Show with our very special guest star Insert Name here! Yeeeaa :D" Anyways. Looking forward to this! It is a World Class to me. Not even a joke :D Edit- This ride deserves the World Class Pass and I am glad Offhand fought for it!

Standing by you, Ryan. I went on this attraction on my last trip precisely bc I heard you guys and other theme park heads praising it, and it really is magical. I had no idea there was a tour until it was too late to book one, so I’m absolutely going to book one less dining reservation on my next trip so that I can take the tour! Was not expecting it to wind up world class but I think you and Dallin’s arguments were 100% valid and not shoehorning it in.

My mom loves Living with the Land. She has to go on it anytime she is at Epcot #momslovelivingwiththeland

A classic. Will always be one of my top rides.

Ok first of all, this might be the best episode yet. Secondly, I feel compelled to inform you guys (and Dallin) about Fruit & Spice Park in Homestead, FL. For $10 you ride in a tram through a botanical garden/orchard while a tour guide teaches you about each of the fruit/spice trees. Each area is divided by different regions of the world, and you can hop off of the tram and eat any fruit that fell on the ground. A must do for Living With The Land heads

I'm so glad Dallin came back for this episode!!

working in the land greenhouses was genuinely one of the best jobs ive ever had! never once did I wake up dreading going to work. I miss it!

I’m so happy Dallin strong handed you guys into naming LWTL as a world class attraction. It deserves it for his dedication alone 😂

Crazy how they crossed Living with the Land and Terminator into the update for 2024!

This ride made me take up gardening and I’ve never looked back. I fucking love LWTL

The fact that there is a 2hr podcast about the most chill ride on earth has made my Tuesday evening. Also, I REALLY hope you guys head out to WDW for Tiana’s because I want to know your thoughts about the lack of peril.

I went into this podcast with zero passion for theme parks and now want to actually go and ride the (slower) rides. This podcast is my happy place because it's just people discussing the things they love intelligently and ardently. This episode is a great example of what makes FYA so special. You can't beat Offhand's enthusiasm for this ride!

This was absurdly suspenseful toward the end and I love it

Been having a bit of a rough time lately and I feel like I discovered this pod at just the right time. Thanks for being so damn entertaining

I’ve only been to Epcot twice and I had no idea that this ride existed! It’s totally something up my alley. Need to make another trip out there

Yall know how long this has been anticipated! Offhand Disney is my fav.

I’m still early into the video and I’m genuinely surprised to hear that most people don’t like living with the land!!!!!!! I went on it for the first (and only) time 5 years ago and I loved it!!!!!! I knew it wasn’t popular cuz I’ve never heard of it online but it was so peaceful I miss it lol

New test category idea: wait length versus ride length ratio. I feel like this comes up a lot in the good and bad.

The best is when you go through the land’s greenhouse and it’s raining outside.

One of the best episodes yet! 2+ hours discussing Living with the Land = yes please!

Ryan passing this for the greater good is just glorious 😂 💯

My favorite ride! ❤ I am so happy Dallin got to defend this legend of a ride! In a week full of overstimulation its the perfect way to get 20min of calm in the ac, without feeling like its a waste. Science and relaxing is a great combo.

Omg this is a dream come true! I love watching watcher content and also offhand Disney! This makes me so happy!

True story: sitting at dinner the other day recapping our yearly Disney World trip, my wife asked me and our two kids to "draft" our favorite rides... Our 6-year old had first pick and he picked Living With the Land.

Ok, but as someone who works in both ag and science, there are really NO facilities with world class research that don't have INSANE biosecurity controls, but you got whole boatloads of people just gliding through?! That's already world class ride design, which is also likely the real reason they do not let you wader, especially where there are fish and aquaponics involved, that stuff does not like contamination. I get not everyone would be as stoked as i am hearing about it, never been to Disney but this sounds like my jam. I actually really agree with Ryan that more people should care about what the idea behind the ride says and how the systems work to feed people, bc we all need to eat and we should respect the process that makes that happen

Speaking of The Land Pavilion building: it’s home to two of the few proper escalators in WDW. There’s a distinct lack of escalators on the Orlando property, from parks to hotels to other venues there. I think the experience of LWTL begins with walking up that outdoor walkway to the pavilion and riding down that escalator in cool AC, surrounded by nature theming.

Offhand!!! Let's goooooooo!!!!!

YES!! LWtL, and Dallin is back!! I clicked on this video so fast.

If ET pushed theme park tech forward by using text to speech, I don't know how you could possibly argue that this ride doesn't! It's a ride that literally supplied the theme park with food. Just because another ride hasn't done it doesn't make it less innovative! WORLD CLASS

Did it inspire any other rides???? Yes, THE Jurassic Park ride!!!!! 😂 The teaching on a dark ride WITH a look into a working lab is literally the ride in the movie 🍿

For a good bit Epcot in Florida was showing Soaring over California for a limited time and I will say it was quite beautiful, I loved the part where you go over the sea during the sunset I just feel like soaring around the world too is greater with scents and really making you feel like you’re there- but both are great in my opinion

Unironically one of my favorite rides at WDW. Idk if it’s the nostalgia I have for it or what, but I genuinely enjoy every second of LwtL.

Yesssss! My favorite! I sure hope it's world class or there is a glitch in the test!

I definitely laughed more this episode than any other. So glad Dallin was here for this or it would just NOT have worked. Love this ride.

Love this pod!

I don't know what you guys were talking about, of the current pavilion buildings, the Land is my favorite building architecturally. It is fantastic from the outside, especially the mural on the entrance, and I really like the shape and look of the glass roof. Horizons was a cooler building for sure, but the land is the best building currently at epcot :)

Myself (a dad), my wife (a mom), my 3 year old son, my mom, have all fallen asleep on this ride and we love it. I love a little relaxing break to rest my eyes. I mention being a dad because I be tired and sleepy and need this ride for my nap.

I have been to the "Behind the Seeds" tour! Its honestly fantastic! I had a great time and you get to eat some of the produce.

I've been waiting for this day since the podcast came out. Love Offhand and Living with the Land!

I went to Epcot in 1984. I loved it. And then too my son as a toddler and he was so happy at Epcot when Magic Kingdom was just too much. It's a nice relaxing environment.

There was a greater than 60 minutes wait for this ride in December for the holiday overlay (and we did not get in line)

Living with the Land has aged like a fine wine.

Living With The Land is THE Multi-Day Attraction. you have to ride it at least 100 times to get the full experience. theres always another thing to ponder like what a breadfruit tastes like

The clips from inside the parks have been a great addition. love you guys

Best ride at Epcot is Spaceship Earth followed by The American Adventure show.

It was raining for about 6 hours once when we were at Epcot….we managed to spend 2.5 to maybe 3 hours in the land pavilion. Soarin’ x2, lunch, living with the land. My only regret was not spending 4 hours there and going on living with the land more.

Clicked on this video without reading the whole title because… hello, Living with the Land, OF COURSE I WOULD. And then I hear OFFHAND DISNEY?! 🤩

The ultimate team up: The Land Keeper, The Dream Finder, Judi Dench, and The Ellen Animatronic.

That's crazy, I never knew about the original hot air balloon concept, but the main atrium had a fountain with a hot air balloon mobile hanging from the celing with 4 air hot air balloons representing the different seasons. This must have been something originally designed to represent the ride, but even when the ride was changed, I guess they kept it.

The land Pavilion used to have such great food options. Especially at breakfast and last time I was there, they had like two options. Maybe because they opened Starbucks.

I’m a newly made fan of the channel. I just finished watching the haunted mansion video and went straight back to your channel and SURPRISE you guys put this gem out right when I’m done??????????

On my one trip to WDW this was open when I got to the land pavilion, but I went on Soarin’ first. When I exited Soarin’ this had just closed for the day. There was still full daylight. It was my last day at the parks, too.

i’ve been waiting for this one.

I was going to Disney like 3 to 5 times a month last year with a annual pass and I rode the heck out of this ride. It is legit one of my top 5 rides as well. Keep making the podcast guys. I love it
