One of the reasons it was a terrible idea to get rid of Disney's Magical Express is that that effectively extended the WDW bubble all the way to Orlando International Airport. And, in a small way, to before you even got on the plane at your departure airport. You'd put those yellow tags on your bags and know that you were checking them through to your hotel room on property.

We used to say “we always stay inside the purple signs” at WDW. That was our bubble.

Your continual use of the Space Mountain queue music makes me happy others appreciate that cosmic ethereal symphony.

Whenever I visit, I take the bubble concept a little further and avoid social media and the news while I’m in the “bubble”. On solo trips, I’ll read a Disney related book on my phone while waiting in line.

When I was a cast member in Anaheim during training they talked a lot about the sequencing from the big sign to the parking lot through the turnstiles into the foyer and then through the tunnels into Main Street. (No CA back then). But also about things like when people would ask if there were actual sit down restaurants - especially Europeans who wanted a real meal - plug the ability to take the monorail out to the hotel and eat there and then monorail back. It kept the money in-house but also the guests were THRILLED that it was so simple because they figured it was a total long shot they would actually get to eat a meal with actual metal forks and so forth.

I didn’t properly respect the Disney bubble and post Disney depression until returning home from Florida last year. It was more like a horrible drug withdrawal. I felt DREADFUL for months.

When I was a child, my father had to go to Disneyland for business. We lived in Los Angeles county, so the park wasn't far away. Now, I was only eight or nine, and had zero interest on the why and how any business would be conducted at Disneyland, so I don't know the particulars and Dad is gone now, so there is no one to ask. In my child brain, I had an anxiety attack because I wasn't getting to go to Disneyland. I made my dad promise me that we would go to Disneyland in the future. And we did, as a family, every year, until my mid teen age time hit and I would go with my friends or on dates. Many years later in life, when my Dad hit his eighties, I found out how seriously he took his Disneyland pledge to me. He asked me, in an almost formal way, if I would release him from his Disneyland promise that he made all those years ago. This surprised me, as I didn't think he would even remember it. Of course, I agreed. About six years later, my father had a stroke and passed. It now brings tears to my eyes that my father carried that promise and me in his heart for all those years.

Hong Kong chose that bay because of the mountains, so that the castle has a beautiful backdrop, giving that secluded castle in the forest vibe. that's why people say Hong Kong has the best location and backdrop for a castle!!

I'm not sure that Disney understands the value of the bubble as much these days. If they did, they never would have gotten rid of the Magical Express which basically put everybody into the Disney ecosystem as soon as they landed at the airport.

When I was a kid, I always ask when we’re going to Florida? But the funny thing is when we land it in Florida I’d still be asking when we’re gonna get to Florida? Because of my childish head, Disney was Florida.

The bubble started at the airport. The oh so important transportation Disney used to offer for free from the airport to their Disney hotel. Getting rid of this might be one of the dumbest business moves ever!

Tokyo Disney's transportation is my favorite of all the resorts. The monorail is incredibly efficient and it's so easy to maneuver. Not to mention, the monorail is absolutely superior in theme. It makes the WDW monorails look like an ancient relic. I think some hotels are provide bus transportation to and from the part, namely official ones and I guess some good neighbor hotels. Ikispiari (basically Downtown Disney) is part of Maihama station so visiting there is super easy to get to.

Even though Disney drives me crazy a lot of the time, your videos re ignite in me how much I still love them.

The bubble is a great concept and exec. The problem is the crowds angry and rude employees as well as poor maintenance of rides and transportation I feel trapped in an expensive nightmare.

For decades I would go to the Disney World, to be included in that sheltered Disney bubble. Occasionally, I would slip thru that Disney bubble, to take that day trip to Universal Studios, and then rush right back to Disney. As Universal Studios continued to blossom, I would occasionally slip into the Universal Studios bubble, for a night, and again rush back to the Disney bubble. With the approaching Epic Universe property, that Disney bubble may start experiencing large gapping holes. I will still enjoy that Disney bubble, but I may not be in that much of a hurry to get back, after being absorbed into the Universal Studios bubble.

I'd love a sequel to this!

How about the Disneyland "CONE." It was a agreement between Disney and the city of Anaheim on height restrictions on buildings depending how close or far they are to Disneyland. Another fun watch, great humor. BBTPM

To be fair, the Tomorrowland Train Station is right by Autopia so the car sounds of Harbor Blvd fit pretty well imo.

The fact I was watching an OffHand Disney video

Living with the Land related eh? IDK if he can top the Disney Dan video that just came out….
