This week, just me. Offhand Disney
Living with the land truly is Peak fiction. I loved it when the narrator said “it’s living time” and then totally lived with that land. The ride must earn Disney 1 landillion dollars.
*2 Landillion dollars
*peak reality
Me my wife and son rode behind you on living with the land at closing time the other night! We opened the gate for you at exit as you ran off to soarin. Nice to see that you actually like the attraction and not just a meme. It was a pleasure to see you in the wild 😂
So, way back when in 1987 if you were hired as an attractions host at epcot this would be your first role. You had to learn a 26 page spiel and they figured if you could get through that you could get through anything. I was lucky and they had an influx of cast members at the time I was hired so I got cast to Universe of Energy. Listen to the land was amazing and it was always fun when you had cast member friends assigned there. We'd visit and get on their boat and try to make them screw up 😂
Let's listen to the land we all love! 1987 was our honeymoon and my first trip - such a great memory!!!
I wish they still had that position. That was my dream retirement job when I was a kid.
this ride is amazing for so many reasons, but above all it’s an educational ride that’s also comfortable with a long ride thru time, barely any wait, and is beautiful to see
This is my absolute favorite ride and the reason I got a degree in agriculture. The behind the “seeds” tour that they offer is really informational and fun because you get to walk through all the greenhouse. I’m also pretty sure it’s the cheapest behind the scenes tour they offer at Disney for any attraction.
We loved the behind the seeds tour!!
We took our grandma to this ride during my family's two visits to Epcot. She grew up in China, and she loves gardening and growing food. This is her favorite Disney ride besides Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blasters/Space Ranger Spin.
Also, I remember loving the old 90s vibe of the ride, especially the intro dark ride section. If I ever visit Epcot again, I'd ride it for the nostalgia alone.
(and yeah, the plants)
“If you’re bored right now…you’re wrong.” LOL
I am 30 seconds in and I'm already going to say "I agree with anything and everything positive that you're going to say about this ride" because it's correct. All positive things are correct. Living With the Land is awesome.
This is the kind of video in which, even if it isn't or wouldn't be my favorite ride, Dallin's enthusiasm and love of it is calming and cheering. It's nice to witness people appreciating things.
If you're bored right now, you're wrong 😂
'if you're bored right now you're..wrong" 😂 I was just thinking at that moment how amazing it is. I've never been there but now I really want to see it!
i love this guys videos so much. he has so much genuine enthusiasm for theme parks (especially epcot of course!) and as someone whose special interest is epcot center, every video is just a joy to watch. just wanted to share my appreciation 🙂
This guy and Tim Tracker
@@Yeet-yx9tw yeah tim’s videos are so entertaining haha!
Living with the land is by far the best ride at Epcot, it really shows what Epcot is all about. The ride is very relaxing and really screams the 80's with it's first segment. I love the little western area with the buffalo and prairie dog animatronics since it shows a glimpse of what the Western River Expedition could have been. Please Disney bring the Thunder Mesa Land to real life!!!
While I was watching this version of The Journey into Imagination, or whatever it's called these days, I figured out how they could easily fix the ride with just a simple reskin. They could keep the ride operating in it's current configuration and only replace some of the sets. Replace Eric Idle with the Dream Finder from the Original ride. Use his face on all of the screens at the first stop. In the second stop, replace those horrible speakers for the train with an animatronic Dream Finder (on a blimplike air craft if there is room) and introduce Figment. Then make all of the other stops fanciful and Magical (think Mystic Manor). They could even keep the upside down room - it fits into the general mood that this new version would create. The original ride celebrated the joy of discovery. Figment was Joy! When they redid the ride (twice), they took away the wonder and joy and introduced negativity with the Eric Idle character. This also changed Figment from Joy into Annoyance. Thus we all now find this ride annoying. Especially those of us who remember the original ride.
YES YES YES!!! Bring back Dreamfinder and the blimp!!!❤️
Was there a couple weeks ago. Loved it. Still can’t believe they added that drop.
I miss Horizons because it connected all the original pavilions: Living with the Land, World of Motion, Spaceships Earth, The Universe of Energy and The Living Seas! It gave hope to the future of humanity!
The true best ride
It relaxes me in ways I can't describe. So much so that playing the spiel is a back home delight.
This is my favorite ride in Epcot. Behind the Seeds, the walking tour, is an amazing experience as well. My family also enjoys the Garden Grill restaurant that overlooks the ride. Some of the food grown in Living with the Land is served there.
The part when you talked about the Millennial history, there used to be pop up meet and greets there years ago and some times they would hide Mickey all the way at the end so he couldn't be seen from the main street. Those were great!
This video is why we could be friends. I absolutely love Living With The Land, it's by far my favorite Epcot ride. I completely agree with you about the screen room, I've always thought it was weird. I did not know about the nods to the other rides, I love it more now!
When I was a little kid, I fell asleep with my grandmother after we ate in this pavilion and no one woke me up and the rest of the family went on this ride without me and ever since then I've rode it every time I go, to make up for missing it when I was probably 5 years old.
I had the dream of one day retiring and moving to Orlando and working part time at Epcot and being the narrator that rode on the ride and sat on that stool at the front of the boat. I was so disappointed when they took that out.
What they did to Journey into Imagination still breaks my heart.
The goat standing on the box (15:02) reminds me of the goat that was waiting to be the "hors d'oeuvre" for the T-Rex in the 1993 Jurassic Park movie.
We also ate at the Garden Grill and got to see in the second floor of the farmhouse. The server said it was decorated like Walt's childhood bedroom
I visited WDW as a child in 1985 and I think this probably was the most memorable attraction. I learned so much about hydroponics! The wave of the future!
I did an ag science internship here in 2019. I have a few friends who still work at The Land. The little fairy house tribute to old epcot display was made by Lindsay Lockwood and Tanya Imam.
3 weeks ago I flew from California to Orlando just to visit EPCOT for one day…and went on Living With The Land 4 times in a row.
The Cast Member asked, “like this ride much?”
I said, “no…but yes. I do like it. I’m just trying to ride on it without someone behind me TALKING THE ENTIRE TIME.”
It took 4 times to finally get a silent ride where I could enjoy the narration!
Anyone else with me on this???
My grandfather was a lifelong farmer who loved Listen to the Land. He loved the plants growing with no soil and hydroponics.
The side entrance at the International Gateway is great. When I stayed the Beach Club Resort, EPCOT was within walking distance of it!
We just did the Behind the Seeds tour last week and it was awesome! I absolutely love Living with the Land and I hope it never goes away. 😭
I’m so worried they will dismantle this ride before I can afford to visit Epcot and I so deeply appreciate your documentation of the ride
I’m obsessed with the entire building the show and soarin to the spinning dinner to the living with the land that place goes hard
I’m old enough to remember when they had a tour guide voice living with the land…
The ride is so good because it employs all the old school Disney practical effects. All the stuff they are dumping from new rides. Then you have the aspect of agriculture (which I find very cool). Other than that, you have the relaxing atmosphere, air conditioning and a ride thats longer that 2 minutes. Great way to cool off on a hot Florida day.
This man in single handedly saving Disneys reputation for some of us as his passion keeps the magic alive even in the face of all the real world drama. He has actually convinced me to lift my political motivated boycott and want to go have fun at epcot as I have been wanting to for 20 years. I actually cant wait tbh.
I hope you have fun and enjoy your trip! EPCOT is my favorite park and I often go there to forget about the world outside for a while :)
He's amazing and ur right, BUT I'm Floridian(yes that's a word google😅) a and I just cannot. It's Universal for me all the way now( a n d I WORKED AT DISNEY- PLEASURE ISLAND)So it's truly💔 heartbreaking
@@cherylmaden5989the magical thing about Disney is that it allows you a chance to forget about the real world for a moment and indulge in fantasy and escape. EPCOT is a great park and Living With The Land is probably the most relaxing experience you’ll have at WDW - I hope you get to experience it someday, learning and growing can happen at any age & the power of imagination is forever 🌱
THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!! ever since a child this has been my absolute favorite ride of all time
I love visiting the parks vicariously through these kinds of videos. ❤
Love Living With The Land. With it's a must do for any Epcot day. Especially when paired with the Behind The Seeds tour.
“If you’re bored right now you’re wrong.”
Someone had to say it. Thanks for speaking up.
Journey Into Imagination messes with you by PROMISING touch and taste labs, DANGLING them in front of you, and then YOINKING them away because there would be no feasible way for them to do that from a moving vehicle, yet they went with the five senses theme anyway. Living With The Land PROMISES you ecosystems, crops, fish, and optimism, and DELIVERS on all counts. Part of my heart is forever rooted there.
going to WDW for the first time next week for my birthday~~ ive wanted to ride living with the land for YEARS and god i am so excited 😭😭
We need a spaceship earth video. Still very much OG Epcot. Love living with the land great vid!
I'm ashamed to admit that I skipped this ride on my trip to Disney World this year. In my defense, I hadn't been to a Disney park in over a decade and I wanted to prioritize the newer rides that I hadn't experienced yet. It's cool that Living With the Land still has the feel of classic EPCOT and I love that they use the produce grown there. It's never been one of my favorite rides though (don't hate me, Dallin!).
Maybe if it still had that folksy "Listen to the Land" song, I would rate it higher. That was a banger.
I love the appreciation you show for the small details - I spent half an hour studying the Mary Blair mural at the contemporary hotel two years ago (and yes, I know about the five legged goat)
This ride actually inspired my grandpa to grow a garden so that’s neat
@@meowmeowmeowmeowcatoncomputer Really? I didn’t know that, how interesting
How cool!
So happy that others love Living with the Land as much as I do :) Its a must ride for me at Epcot. Relaxing, good vibes, educational, and great smells. The smells always are a huge consideration in ride quality lol
On a random note, I haven't been to WDW since March of 2020, literally was there 3 weeks before the pandemic went crazy. But I have to say, I am really surprised (and more than a tad bit disappointed) that you can see "backstage" as you ride the skyliner into Epcot. One thing I love about Disney is their attention to detail and immersion. Its so odd to me that they would allow the illusion to be ruined like that. Weird.
I will probably never go to DW but I really enjoy this ride so thank you for doing this...I am a Landscape contractor by trade so anything with plants interests me and this is a great way to educate people on what IS possible
Thank you for this Dalyn
This is probably the MOST underrated ride in all of WDW! I've always loved it even as a young child and now as an adult! ❤
It feels criminal to be this early on a OD episode about my favorite EPCOT ride.
I had the wonderful luck of going to EPCOT the week it opened. I love this ride too❤ of course I’ve done the back stage tour! I had a big garden and chickens for years. This ride inspired my garden and dinner table.
As a person who LOVES fish tanks, seeing the aquaponics systems and all the fish tanks makes me so happy.
I remember back in the early 90's when Listen to the Land (as it was called back then) Would often have a 45 minute wait time. There was no Soarin' back then to soak up the crowds.
You know Living with the Land _must_ be doing something right given it has outlived all the other educational/edutainment Epcot rides. Innoventions, Horizons, Universe of Energy, Wonders of Life, all gone, yet Living with the Land still stands tall.
I think mainly it’s because some of the rides would’ve been very outdated by now (mainly horizons. I still think it’s one of the best rides Disney ever built though). The subject of growing plants is a pretty timeless thing. It’s something everyone will end up learning about no matter what era your from.
I think the fact that it's a functioning greenhouse that supplies WDW restaurants is the main reason it's still around. Great ride nonetheless, I ride it at least once on most of my EPCOT visits.
I think I love it because of how authentic it is compared to other rides (seeing how it is a ride that starts in a fake jungle and farm but then goes into a real farm). My grandpa loved it simply because he loved nature. This is the only fully indoors ride I can think of that has a canopy above you so you don’t get wet from the rain that isn’t in the building
"if you're bored right now, you're wrong"
I felt that
3:25 can confirm, Dallin, it's as good as always! (BTW I'm the girl you met at Mexico... and Italy.... and Japan on Tuesday lol)
this was so relaxing and lovely! didnt know about the Epcot easter eggs in the planters, very cool
The bird droppings on the SkyWay window are a nice touch! It was really like being there. #dirtybirds
I am such a great fan of Living with the Sand. I'm glad to have found another enjoyer of the ride. I didn't know about the Easter eggs to the old pavilions though, so I'll have to check that out the next time I go!
The other day I had to drive in a torrential rainstorm with traffic lights out. I was panicky to say the least. I put on a LWTL audio recording and reached a calming level of zen . It really transported me to a safe zone. So you see, LWTL can literally save your life!
The highlight of my 2021 trip to Disney World was watching two men have an all out brawl in front of the living with the land queue
I have been on this ride more times than I can count and yet I never knew they had those little references to all the other lands in that final room! Not like I needed an excuse to go on it again...but now I do!
Thank you for posting this video, I was having a hard time falling asleep, and this video did the trick. 😴
Good job Dylan. We will be riding living with the land on 12-1-2023. One of our faves!
I just went to the disney 100 exhibit in Philly and part of the sound track they made for the exhibit had the living with land birds in the background at some point and i might have screamed
I'm glad Journey to Imagination is still open, I thought they were converting it to that Pixar movie with emotions
I dig the more vlog style in this one! Also, Living With The Land is incredible. The older I get, the more I admire it!
All those easter eggs are soooooooooooooooooo cool!
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Thank you so much offhand. I am a living with the land fan till I die.
Great fun video. The only thing missing from Living with the Land ride is the old song “ Listen to the land”
Dont know for the life of me is why the took this song out..
World Showplace also hosts a cooking competition for high schools, I was lucky enough to be able to participate and go behind the gates, didn't notice the mini Epcot balls on the exterior though
This ride has inspired me to want to have some sort of semi-off grid homestead using aquaponics, solar and wind power and mini farm. the whole "living WITH the land" concept
12:37 is probably my favorite Offhand moment ever
finally i love your living with the land videos so much!
totally agree , love the land. best 5 attractions in Disney World-
5. haunted Mansion
4. Pirates
3. The land
2. Spaceship Earth
1. Carousel of Progress
I love Living with the Land; great video. Thanks for sharing!
I love some of the slower rides. If everything is IP or fast you can't enjoy as much. I need the quieter slower rides to enjoy the fast ones! But I love those moment soft calm on boat rides.
When you said you were gonna walk right past journey and straight to land, I was like “lol, suuure”. Low and behold 😂😭
Living with land with the behind the seeds tour is fantastic - absolutely top experience
@4:30 they also use that during food n wine. Then other times of year they randomly put rare-rarer meet n greets there
When I was there in May. I went on Living with the Land I was thinking about your TH-cam video and how much you love it.
Agreed! Living With The Land is perfect and my favorite too!
Great vid! I plan on going to WDW next year, haven't been since I was little. Can't wait!
Always a good way to relax after walking around the park all day.
I rode it for you last weekend. :D Such an enjoyable ride
This is a beautiful ride and it reminds me of what the philosophy of Disney was originally about. Thank you.
I love when the green screen bleeds through your shirt. I so hope that’s on purpose 😂
International gateway entrance is a core childhood memory.
Living with the Land is such a relaxing ride. Living with the Land and Grand Fiesta Tour are my favorite chill attractions in Epcot.
The ad being timed with the blast on figment really threw me off 😂
I don't mind the barn area, because I LOVE the music in there and the old timey video.
I love how a few spots on your shirt got eaten up by green screen magic.
It's the LWTL video that we've all been waiting for!
I think the graphics and quotes makes this the most interesting que in all of Disney World. Hands down.
I’m convinced that Disney is going to try to bring more Frozen to the state side parks! They’ve already seen a lot of success with Frozen ever after and lightening lane and they are bringing it to two other parks! Wouldn’t it be cool though to see a tangled thrill ride based on the scene from the mines?
The park closes at 9? Sheesh. I remember leaving there much later back when I went a lot. For sure they had to drive me out of the park after dining late and the park was closed. We ate at the upstairs French restaurant (chef Paul’s is it?) on a big double decker bus. I don’t think they have them anymore. I’m old. Hahaha.
Great now I'll have that song stuck in my head yet again
Omg. I was talking to my dad today (since I've never been, but he went around 10 years ago) and he had absolutely no clue there was anything besides the countries. No idea about Imagination, Land, or Sea pavillion. 🤦♀️
The honey wine at renn faires? As an old school rennie, I think you're talking about mead?
Love this ride and that shadow man shirt!! ❤
Your Shirt Rocks!
“that’s spaceship earth. she’s the prettiest girl in school” screams my favorite vine of all time, which was:
“who do you think the hottest girl in school is?”
“the epcot ball”
“well i like melanie and -“
“…. epcot”
I wish they never did away with the original journey into imagination
If you’re bored right now you’re wrong. Lol
Agreed. My fav part is the rainforest I would live in there
Love the video. One thing next time check your shirt for green material before filming in front of a green screen lol keep up the videos
