    I was raised by a single mother that would save up money to take me to disneyland probably every other year. We couldn't afford much more than a frozen banana each and a churro each plus the tickets. We would pack a lunch and put them in the lockers at the front of the park because they didn't let you bring food or drink in at the time. Now she works for Disney and we get in for free. We both have great jobs that allow us to enjoy all the amenities, but nothing will ever beat when I was a kid, walking into the park, and just being overwhelmed by the transportation into this fantasy world. I love watching your videos, they make me want to go back to Disney and I'm sure families like mine that budget for these types of trips truly appreciate your help navigating these parks. Thanks P

    The most important thing that I want to share with you about myself is the positive impact that your videos have had on my mental health. I was trying to keep myself together during the pandemic while learning to be a first-time mom and helping a husband who was dealing with pandemic-induced agoraphobia. I spiraled so hard that there are days that I’m not sure I’d still be here if it wasn’t for my kiddo. I found your channel while watching videos of people at Disneyland because there were days where watching people enjoy my favorite place was the only way I could feel cheerful. I got to the point that I’d turn on a video each day just to hear you or Amanda tell me (because you’re talking to me, right?) tell me how awesome I am and it helped me pull me out of my spiral because it helped me to realize that there is still a lot of happiness and good in this world - even if it doesn’t seem like it (especially when you focus too much on the unhappy things). I hope that, whenever I finally get to bring my kiddo to Disneyland, that you and your family will be there so that I can tell you in person how much your videos have helped me turn back into my happy, goofy, bubbly self. ❤

    A month after meeting my wife Angela, my best friend and I planned a trip to Disneyland. He had come home on leave from the navy. Angela had never been to Disneyland before so I decide to invite her. I wasn’t really big into Disney but bringing her for the first time and seeing the way her eyes sparkled at every little detail really reignited my love of Disney again. We have been to the parks over 10 times now and each trip always reveals something new about the parks for us. We will be celebrating our first wedding anniversary next week in Disneyland!

    Dear Chris and Amanda, I have been going to Disneyland for as long as I can remember. My parents would pack us up in the family station wagon and we would drive across country to the park every year. I have been going since the ticket books and now I use an app for my tickets and all stuff Disney. I am an Army Veteran, a LEO Veteran, a Protector, a Father, a Widower, a Traveller, a Lover, a Dreamer, and a Disneyland Officianato. My favorite time at Disneyland is everytime I took someone there for their first time. My newest favorite memory was yelling out loud "Provost Park" while next to the Millennium Falcon at Chris while he was recording. Chris immediately stopped what he was doing and zeroed in on me. He came directly over to where I was and greeted me with a warm smile and a shake of our hands. We talked for a moment and that moment became a fond memory of the park. Chris is genuinely a genuine person and my only regret is that I completely forgot to ask for a photo with him. If you get a chance to read this, "Thank you to you and Amanda for bringing content that is entertaining and genuine. I look forward to your videos and the different content you present." Your Friend, Alex

Through their divorce and all hardships in life growing up, Disney was always my safe haven and where I went to be happy and also remember happy times. I spent my first year anniversary last year in Disneyland (and binged on your videos before going) and we are spending our second year on 10/17 in the Poly at WDW and I couldn’t be happier that my husband now enjoys Disney with me 😁 thank you for your videos and dedication to this channel!

    Hi, Chris! Several years ago, my wife took me to Disneyland for my birthday. A cast member overheard the two of us talking about how old I was turning and they offered me a nice little birthday pin to put on my shirt… I must’ve had 50 people that day walk by me and wish me a happy birthday after they noticed the pin. I really enjoyed the general friendliness of all the people in the park that day. I ended up going on the Winnie The Pooh ride for the first time and was super surprised when, toward the end of the ride, Tigger and Piglet and the rest of the gang were also wishing me a happy birthday. I was so amazed that the cast members were somehow able to see my birthday pin and have the characters on the ride wish me a happy birthday. When I expressed my joy of this to my wife, she burst into laughter as she explained that theme of the ride was Pooh’s birthday. Then we both laughed together about my bubbly imagination…. It was a really funny moment of a very nice birthday.

I was by myself because my lovely wife (MLW) doesn’t do roller coasters (instead, she was at the Beauty and the Beast theater listening to a concert). As I was looking around to pass the time I see Chris and Amanda in line right behind me! Well, six feet behind me because of the Covid rules. Chris had me get my phone out and record a video of him and Amanda saying hello to MLW. Both of you were so kind and friendly. Truly a great Disney memory for me!!!

    Hi from AZ, homeschooling Mom of 2! Best Disney trip ever--a bird pooped on my head. I kid you not! It was not quite 8 years ago. We took my then 4 year old for his birthday and this massive flock of birds sat in the trees by Mr Lincoln over the meet Mickey line and totally got me. I was so grossed out, ran to the bathroom. A lady in there said, "Well, some people believe it's good luck." Just after, we headed to CA Adv, rode the Mickey Wheel swinging buckets (1st and only time). My kiddo freaked out and I felt really sick. I had to flag the ride operator down to stop. He kindly let us off and said it happens all the time. Then I continued feeling sick even though we were off.... bought a pregnancy test on the way back to the hotel and it turns out I was pregnant! The docs said I wouldn't be blessed with another baby. BEST day at Disney ever! (I think I did comment that on your Mickey Wheel video a while back cause, though I'll never ride it again-- I have great, albeit queasy, memories!)

I took my wife to Disneyland for her FIRST TIME EVER back in March of 2020. She FELL IN LOVE with it. She even yelled out-loud while on splash mountain “I’m having my Disney moment!” It was adorable. We took our girls to Disneyland for THEIR first time the December right before the pandemic and they also FELL IN LOVE. They got to dance with goofy together and made memories that will last forever. Next year we took them to Disneyworld and they (and us as well) LOVED Epcot (we all love food).

You are a mentor a teacher and a leader, mega talented and a joy to watch on KZread. You are the best! The world needs more good people like you. YOU are special and YOU ARE AMAZING! My grandfather used to work at Disneyland as a fireman, he was a retired LA city fireman. The park was several years old when I was born. I used to go there all the time with my sister when we were little and we rode the Merry go Round regularly and we loved fantasy land. I've been to Disneyland so many times that it is like home to me. The park brings me peace because I feel so at home, and it brings me comfort in knowing that my kids and grandkids can walk the same streets that I walk and see all the same wonderful things that I love in Disneyland. I'm being tested for cancer on Friday, and I'm a few years younger than Walt was when he passed, so loving the park, walking in it and sitting in it brings me peace, as do your videos.

    I grew up in SoCal, & Disneyland was my happy place when I was 16-18 yrs. old & my father & hero was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. I had a resident pass (the golden age lol) & my best friends & I would go to the park 2x a week. It was my happy escape, just as I like to think Walt wanted. Disneyland provided me refuge in the hardest time of my life. Although my father couldn’t remember my name anymore, anytime I was in the park, I’d remember my dad convincing as a kid to be brave enough to go down splash Mt. & the haunted mansion. Although as a teen I was dealing with big life hardships- Anytime I was in the park, I was allowed to be a kid again. Thank you Provost for giving a platform for me to share this 🧡✨

    Favorite Disneyland memories. 1). Visiting as a child with cousins, aunts and uncles and grandparents. 2). Seeing a Make-a-Wish moment where a family interacted with a lot of costumed cast-members. At first some of the spectators were a little irritated that this one family was getting so much attention, but as they realized what was happening, they changed and stayed to watch and applauded the cast when it was all done. 3). Instant ball. I was eating at the Jolly Holiday when a little girl dressed as a princess asked some other girls dressed as princesses to dance and the cast members rearranged the furniture to make room as other princesses joined in. 4). Entertainer for a day. Once there was a juggler entertaining us in Fantasyland. He dropped the balls and I tossed them back to him like a juggler would, and he tossed the balls back to me and taught me how to pass a ball from one juggler to another. 5). Seeing the Provost family as they were heading into the park for The Merriest Night. You guys were on a mission, but you still took time to talk for the few moments you had available.

    Hello to all I don’t live in America. I am an Education Support Officer at a primary school. I support children who are on the autism spectrum, have learning difficulties and I have recently learnt Braille to assist a student. I have been at my current workplace for the last 20 years. I love my job!!! The children help keep me young at heart. We were in lockdown for a long time during the pandemic. Finally, my family and I were able to come to Disneyland for the very first time in June this year. It was truly my childhood and adult dream come true. My daughter was proposed to in Cars Land. That’s how much we all love Disneyland. I loved all the rides, parades (especially the MSEP), the food and the happiness that you can truly feel whilst there. We can’t wait to go back. Hopefully we’ll be back in 3 years. Until then, your videos will be my little, happy, virtual visits. 🥰

    Hi Chris! I am an older fan of yours. I remember, when I was a little kid, around 1966 or 1967, my father had a beautiful Disneyland brochure on his bookshelf, filled with paintings of the forthcoming developments of this magical park. I don't know how old the brochure was, but I suspect it was from the 50s. But I poured over this brochure for years, and it went from being in untouched condition to being ratty and falling apart! I longed for Disneyland with every fiber of my being. I wanted to see the Rocket to the Moon and the (forthcoming) haunted mansion. I wanted to live in the Monsanto House of the Future! Sadly I never quite got there, but I still dream of it. I want to add I have had a tricky time through COVID, spending so much time isolated and working from home. KZread has been a lifesaver, but I am particularly attached to you and your family. When a new Provost Park Pass comes up, I feel like it is a visit with dear old friends.

    My fav Disneyland memory is when my youngest was 6 and it was her first trip to an amusement park. We rode the Tower of Terror. She wrapped herself around me and screamed the whole ride. When we got off she said to me “Mom, that about gave me a heart attack… can we do it again?” I knew right then I had her hooked and I loved it! We celebrated her 16th birthday this year in Disneyland and it was the same joy as 10 years ago!

    Thanks for your videos. My 29 year old son is a moderately high functioning autistic adult. One of the things that he loves is Disney and your videos bring him pure joy. He loves Disney history and oddities, so you are right up his alley (not that YOU are an oddity). He has been lucky enough to visit every Disney Park in the world in the last 7 or 8 years. This was made possible by the 3 years we lived in Singapore, so Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Tokyo we much easier from there. The last park he visited was Paris when he and my wife made a trip there just before COVID lockdown. Carpe Diem! His first park was Disneyland ads my wife and I both grew up in Orange County so it was familiar and easy. And we try to hit Disney World every couple of years. His favorite park? Disney Sea in Japan (ours too!). We first realized his interest in Disney attraction history on one of our first visits to Disney Land when he had us go out of our way to find the abandoned Tyrolean Baskets station tucked up behind trees so you wouldn't see it if you didn’t know that it was there. And while it's gone now, our memories aren't. So keep up what you are doing and it is EXACTLY what Christopher loves. Keep showing us those things that are hidden in plain sight that we never sea. Don't let up on the history of the attractions. And you can keep the dad jokes--I love them and sometime claim them as my own. Again, THANK YOU.

    I live in New Zealand, but used to live in the UK. When my daughters were 10 and 8 yrs old, we took them to DisneyWorld Florida. This was a big thing for us, as we had never been overseas before. It was 1999, and we arrived the day after a hurricane! It was October and was a special anniversary i believe in DisneyWorld. The girls loved it, as we had kept it a complete secret before we left. They thought they were just going to the english seaside! Both of them loved the Rock n Roller Coaster, as did I, but their favourite thing about the holiday was Downtown Disney. We went there every night of the two week holiday, and spent a fortune. We then drove down to Port Richey and stayed there for a week, so it was a once in a lifetime holiday, and we loved it~!

Love your videos, your three day trip early this year to DL Paris inspired us to take our first trip out of the country to see it for ourselves.

    Having just celebrated my 80th birthday, my favorite Disney memories are from a very different era. When Disneyland opened in 1955, I was 13 years old. We lived in LA about 20 miles from Disneyland and I continually begged my parents to take us to Disneyland, but they always said, “Let’s wait until it’s not so crowded.” My family was quite poor and I didn’t realize until years later that they couldn’t afford to take us. A couple of years later, we went for the first time. I remember walking down Main Street on the left side of the street and we were near the Carnation Café when my dad said, “Look, there’s Walt Disney.” I looked and saw him across the street talking to someone. I tried to get my dad to come with me to talk to him, but he said, “I’m sure he doesn’t want a bunch of people bothering him.” I watched him until he finished his conversation, then he went on his way, and we went on with our day. We’ve always been big Disney fans and my wife and I have had season passes for the past 32 years or so. We stopped you one day on Main Street, and you were kind enough to take time with us. Having watched so many of your episodes we felt we already knew you. Thanks for all you do. Ed & JoAnn - Disney fans

    Hi Chris! Sorry I had to leave your Patreon. My financial situation changed. But one of my favorite Disneyland memories was walking through the main gates for the first time during Spring Break 2004. I spent years before that watching old Disneyland vacation planning videos on VHS. The feeling of finally being at Disneyland physically for the very first time was absolutely incredible! Plus, I'll be going back to Disneyland by myself again from the end of November through early December this year which I'm SUPER excited about. I haven't been back since 2018. Back in July, I attended the Pacific Northwest Mouse Meet which is an unofficial Disney fan event in Washington State. Had a ton of fun with that and will be attending all future events they put on! I got to meet the voices of Disneyland and few wonderful Imagineers there too! I do still have a day job. However, I reduced my hours so I would have more time to focus on my KZread channel. It's my dream to be able to do KZread full time someday. I've been working with a couple consultants for that the past several months. Aside from Disney, I love watching movies especially horror movies. I love spooky stuff. I have a large collection of movie themed graphic t-shirts too.

    My family was poor, but parents were very frugal and saved up money for us to go to Disneyland every year or so. We drove for the whole day. We stayed at the cheapest motels. They were grimy, the sheets had cigarette burns and the towels were wet. We never ate at the park, save for having one treat. It was all too expensive. We would go back to the motel and my mom would make dinner in the rice cooker she brought along. I later found out how guilty my dad felt about not being able to give us what other kids had. He hoped this was enough. I’m very thankful for all our family trips, and those are some of my best memories of Disneyland. Years later, my husband takes me to Disneyland for my birthday every year. It was my first time eating at the restaurants, trying all the snacks and staying in a deluxe hotel. We’re going to Disney World this year! Even then, I still love thinking about those family trips back when we didn’t have anything.❤

    Disney has offered me a lot of memories over the years, but the most important aspect of it all has been that it has always given me something to look forward to. I'm diagnosed with a condition that can put me at really low points mentally throughout my life. When I'm at a low, I often tell myself "I have to get through this so I can visit Disney again!" So, visits to Disney just bring me so much joy and fulfillment that I powered through yet another low. With that said, I want you to know that those statements of encouragement you insert in your videos are wonderful and I'm an absolute fan of it. Yes, they may break the flow of a video, but there are people out there that can use your words to start their 180 to feeling better (maybe, like myself, working towards that next Disney trip!). I love your videos and many of your facts give me new things to look forward to seeing on my next trip 😄

    I have been to Disneyland many times over the decades. But one the most enjoyable experience I had was over in Critter Country when a young girl came into the shop next to Splash Mountain. She didn't have enough money to buy what she really wanted. I saw the look on her face. I said, "Hold up" and I took my Dream Key Pass and had the cashier ring her up. I knew that with my discount that she would be able to purchase what she wanted. She walked out with the biggest smile on her face. Another memory was I was at Town Square and Gunny was asking for Veterans if they would be willing to assist with the lowering of the Flag Ceremony. This is even today my biggest honor I have ever received while at Disneyland.

I've been many times and got to visit Disney World with my father and the whole family as a gift from his father, who died about six months later. About a year ago, we had a trip planned but had to cancel because of the pandemic. Now dad's health is horrible. I don't think we'll get to see it again together, which breaks my heart.

I have only ever lived in California thus far. My favorite Disney memory (besides taking our daughter to Disneyland for the first time when she was 3) has to be when my grandpa (who we called Nono because we are mostly Italian) went with us to Disneyland. I was very very close to him and I remember riding the carousel with him standing next to me making sure I didn’t fall off. Every time I go to Disneyland I can feel him there like a big hug! Disneyland is more than an amusement park for me, it’s my hometown, where my favorite childhood memories come alive again and again.

    One of my earliest memories is of the Main Street Electrical parade Disneyland in 1976. I was 6. I recently took my 6 year old son to watch the parade. He loved it! This is the magic of Disneyland : Watching the parade through my son’s eyes and remembering my own experience at his age.

    Hi Chris, I just wanted to say thank you for making this channel. When my wife and I were stuck in the house due to the pandemic we watched a lot of your videos and daydreamed about being in Disneyland, riding the rides and eating the food and reliving our favorite memories. You guys really helped keep us sane, plus I know a whole bunch more about Disneyland and we will be taking our daughter there in a few weeks. Maybe we will even see you there! Take care!

    I grew up just a few miles from Disneyland and went there a lot. I never really thought it was anything special (you know how teenagers are). But the first time we took our three kids to Disneyland, I experienced the magic through their eyes. Ever since then, it is my happy place. They are now grown and I’ll be taking grandchildren soon!

    My first clear memory of Disneyland is September, 1969. It was just after the Haunted Mansion had opened to the public. I remember the drive from Corona, Ca. with my aunt (who loved everything Disney). There were billboards advertising the Mansion everywhere! We even saw live action characters of the hitchhiking ghosts on the corner of Katella and Ball. I was 4 and had grown up on a steady diet of Wonderful World of Disney. When we finally got inside (it seemed like forever) we went straight to the Mansion. It scared me senseless!!! You have to remember, it was the '60's. There was no internet, no video games, cell phones or any other sensory input beyond the 4 main tv channels so the technology in the Mansion was pretty scary for a 4 year old back then. For the 50th anniversary of the Mansion I was in Ca and decided to drop into the parks. I went to rope drop and managed to ride HM 3 times in a row in honor of the Mansion and my aunt who had recently passed- but not before she had instilled a love for everything Walt Disney in me.

    I commented on another recent video just to say how much I appreciated the personal affirmations in your videos, and the response I got from you and this community was heartwarming. This channel is a big part of helping me get through the day, no exaggeration. Disney World is my favorite place on the planet, and I haven't been there since 2004. I'm now 41 years old and it's literally my life goal to make it back there one day. I'm a full time caregiver for my mother, who suffers from a kind of dementia that causes her to have huge mood swings and regularly be emotionally abusive towards me. We live on her social security, and because we're in a small town I haven't been able to find work with the flexibility I need to take care of her, so every dime I'm able to scrape together goes towards bills, food, and her medical care. That's probably an overshare, but I wanted you to know what I mean when I say your videos help me get through the day. Escapism isn't a bad thing - for some it's sorely needed, and you provide a proxy for the life and experiences that are out of my reach. Thank you Chris.

For the past two decades I've been going to Disneyland almost once a year and just love it so so so much. I work with special needs kids in their homes, helping to teach them daily living skills, and we do community outings and I've even taken one of my kiddos and their family to Disneyland twice now!!! BEST trip ever! Seeing my kiddo overcome his sensory challenges to laugh and smile alongside me on Thunder Mountain is the BEST feeling EVER!!! You know what else is the BEST? YOU! I love your encouraging and kind words in every video. They often make me emotional. You must just have the biggest heart. I'm very grateful for you.

    As a child I was lucky to visit Disneyland every year, we lived in Northern CA. My dad would buy his Disneyland tobacco for his pipe at the tobacco shop that used to be in Disneyland. I still Disneyland as a seasoned adult and love reminiscing about my childhood at Disney. My first ride is always Pirates of the Caribbean as it was one of the rides the whole family rode together, mom, dad, grandma and my brother. Sadly I’ve lost them all but have my memories especially at Disneyland.

    I've been to DisneyLand twice before I had kids. The second time was during the 50th Anniversary with my future wife. We never thought we'd have kids, but now that we have two, I can't wait to share the parks with them! Our daughter is a huge princess fan, but she also loves women super heros. When she was 18 months old we were able to take her and my parents to DisneyWorld, shortly before the world shutdown. Seeing her face lightup when she met Ariel, Belle and Snow White are memories I'll always cherish. Our son is a huge Super Hero and Star Wars fan, so he's going to be so thrilled to see Avengers Campus and Batuu. They are just now reaching the proper height to ride most of the rides they'd want to ride. Thanks to your videos we've been able to stay on top of the changes at the parks, places to stay and some awesome trivia to share with the kids. Your positivity is truly the most important aspect of your channel, the fact that you can balance it with sharing facts clearly and simply is hugely impressive. We were able to use your Getaway Today link to buy tickets to go to DisneyLand/DCA sometime within the next year as a family!

    Chris, I love your family and your videos. I am VERY selective with what I watch on KZread when it comes to the Disney parks and you truly bring joy to people with your gifts and just by being you. Thank you for that. And I love your little messages in each video. The first time I heard you say single parents were enough and doing a good job, I cried. I don't think anyone, most of all a single parent, ever feels like they are winning at the parenting game, especially after a divorce. I really needed to hear that. So thank you. As for me, I'll share 2 quick personal Disney stories: 1. My first memory ever was when I was 2-3 years old. My parents took me on Pirates and I don't have any visual memories because my eyes were clamped shut, but I can hear my mom's voice saying "Look Jennifer, see the kitties? Oh look, there's a doggy too!" Yeah I didn't buy into it because I hated the dark. But I love that it's the first memory I have as a human being. 2. My son's first ride on his first trip to Disney was you guessed it, Pirates. He was 7 months old. Didn't cry, didn't freak out. He just took it all in. As he got older, he became fearful of the drops. So I used to tell him we were waiting in line for the no-drop version. I used that over and over for several years. You would think he would have caught on, especially right after the ride, but he didn't. He's 15 now and sometimes I tell him we just got in the no-drop line just to get a giggle out of him.

We are planning another trip to Disney soon and I plan to tell her more facts and point out more things. Chris, you’re one of those few people that we need in this world, as someone who has family issues and can barely get along with my mom at times, thank you for the positivity you spread, and thank you for those special messages during your videos.

    Hi, Im Effect. Im a gamer from Wyoming. I created a really fun family friendly community and love hanging out with others just playing fun games. My family LOVES Disney, and we really really want to make it back to DisneyLand. One of my fav memories is when I got to meet my fellow youtube gamer friend from Australia, we were riding Pirates ride while a show was going on outside. No one was in the queue, so we started chanting "One more time" and they let us ride again with out getting back in line. SO much fun! Other fav times is just hanging out with family at the most magical place in the world! Thanks for all you share with us! 👊
