The absolute awe on my son's face when Tinkerbell flew out of the castle during his Make A Wish trip was definitely the highlight (and him falling asleep on Haunted Mansion)
Hey! I'm an interior designer, and the sidewalks being different colors is an actual thing called wayfinding! There are obvious wayfinding tactics such as signs and symbols, but something as simple as a different color on the ground can help orient a person better without them even knowing it, as they'll subconsciously associate that color with the part of the park they're in! :)
This concept of way finding that you speak of he's very commonly for those with disabilities as well.And somebody He was blind for 3 years, using different tactile floors, or adding smells to certain areas helped and then for those I have lower IQ sometimes using different colors can help them find their way because colors are easier to Precept then directions.
Wayfinding? Is that where the newest Star Wars got the idea for their way finder? That's very odd. Thanks for the info though. I take much issue with the latest Star Wars trilogy, but love Olivia's videos.
Yes, they do actually pump out the smell at least on Main Street at DL. I think Jody Jean Dreyer, an Imagineer, actually talked about it in her book (which I can't remember the name of at the moment). And about the trash cans... I think I remember learning somewhere that Walt went to other amusement parks and watched people throw away trash. He would count the number of steps people would take before throwing trash on the ground and the average was 30 steps, (I think?) So, the space between trash cans at DL was that average. (My friends and I actually tested this one day, and it was true. xD )
See I don't doubt that they used to do that, but I'm not sure if they do now??? and hahaha I LOVE that you tested it! That's totally something me and my friends would do hahaha
The tour guides on my Backstage Magic tour that I took last year confirmed that they used to pump scents in to the exterior areas of the park and they actually showed us one of the units located on the wall in the Utilidor Below Main Street. They did say that the system is no longer in use outside of rides like Pirates or Sorin.
Oh yea they definitely pump out scents. I got sick a few years ago and I could intensely smell it all. I told my boyfriend to get away from the stores cause from what i knew they pump it at the bottom of the stores.
When I was little I was obsessed with the yellow dress Jane wore in Tarzan! My dad scoured all of the gift shops for one and found the very last dress in my size in animal kingdom. It made my whole trip that year!
i went on a backstage tour and we went behind be our guest and saw where the buses drop off the cast members and it was so funny to me seeing a bunch of college students getting off a bus in costumes from all different time periods, purple fantasyland dresses, jungle cruise skippers, haunted mansion maids and butlers, tomorrowland tee shirts and shorts, it was just so fun to actually see them all together in one place
There is only 1 flag that is real, at Magic Kingdom. Everyday they have a ceremony that retired vets and others take it down. My Grandfather took it down 7 years ago
The smellatizers are real, when I was on one the 7 hr behind the scenes tour. we were in the utilidoors where they pointed the contraption that sprayed out the Scents to Main Street
Favorite costume from animated movie: The first one coming to mind is Elsa's outfit when she lets her hair down in the new movie Favorite from live action: Nothing is coming to mind right now, but I know I like many of the outfits! Cast member: Clearly the Haunted Mansion
I can only say, that in the Rockin Roller Coaster (now permanetly closed) in Disneyland Paris they have used a scream sound, when the ride starts. And i can say, it worked so good for me. Also, when you stay beside of the track, waiting. The countdown ends and they shoot the cars in the darkness and you hear the screaming sound. Perfect!
The painting of Mr Toad handing over the deed to Pooh is in Poohs ride but you have to look back over your left shoulder in one of the rooms. Can't remember which one it is though. Think it might be the windy day one?
I think what they where trying to say was that pathways on the floors are colored throughout the park so people know which way to go and stuff. And yes, the smells are true. They have different smells through the park.
I absolutely binge your videos. So wholesome and informative. I can't get enough! I see you haven't posted in a while, hope all is well and you're still keeping the magic alive 🪄✨✨
They do indeed pump the smells out into the walkways/lands. Helps entice guests into the bakery for example. Dinosaur is exactly the same track layout of Indy, different motion though. The Trader Sam fact is true, used to the cover of one of the old Jungle Cruise boats. Not sure about the other JC facts. As for MK opening show, that used to be true before they moved the show to the castle stage. Great reaction video Olivia, hope you're keeping safe and well :D
Thanks so much for your insight! And okay that would make sense to me if the motion is what's different between Indiana Jones and Dinosaur - that's what was throwing me off!
I went to Disney World just a few years ago. When it comes to Rope Drop, the show on the train is no more. They do a stage show now. This change was made to prevent crowd build up at the front of the park. By moving the morning show to the stage, they allow the crowd to spread and begin moving wherever they need to go much sooner then they did with the train show. When it comes to the "brown stripe" down Liberty Square, the sewer thing is real. The Imagineers designing that area of the park even went so far as to place the bathrooms in locations that are not "technically" part of that section.
I know this shouldn't make me as happy as it does but for you to mention Night at the Museum 3 made my entire day because the series is so underappreciated! I love your vids and can't wait for the next one!~
Haha whoever made that video was mistaken. the imagineers children can be seen on the ceiling in the ballroom at the Be Our Guest Restaurant, not the stage show at Hollywood Studios.
I love Tiana’s green dress! Live action wise I love most of Jasmine’s outfits. Cast member wise I have always had a love for the main street costumes (both east and west).
My favorite Disney outfit? Ohhh gosh thats hard........Well honestly I can’t pick a character but I dig all of the merchandise costumes! They are super cool!
My favorite Disney outfit is the Galaxy's Edge cast member outfits. I am a bit biased since I wore them during my DCP, but they are still my favorite and probably always will be. I also love the Rock N Rollercoaster outfits too
Hi, graphic designer here! On the topic of the Mickey Mouse red, it does make sense that they would copyright a name that is represented by that six digit code but that doesn’t keep people from using or finding a close match, it is a way for Disney to make sure they are all the same and a branding tactic haha.. idk if that makes sense lol
Olivia, the one about the sidewalk is for people to see it easier at night in case of parades. It is also in case the road needs to be used while guests are there at night. Great video, I enjoy watching your videos, keep up the great work, and look forward to future videos.
I love the live action Cinderella dress because it is just so beautiful and has so much volume and layers of iridescent tulle. Also really like the iconic elsa's ice dress and aurora's colour changing dress.
My favorite outfits are definitely Tiana's park dress and Anna's coronation dress! Tbh, I'm a HUGE Disney princess fan so I love all of their outfits!❤
Favorite outfits are Belle's Christmas dress and Rapunzels dress in the parks, and from the movies definitely Ariel's maiden dress and her dress when she comes out of the water! Also All of the Frozen 2 animation is just 😍
My grandma and I were the first people on "it's a small world" of the day. That was so awesome because I was and still am a massive fan of the attraction.
Hi Disney CM and enthusiast here! My understanding with the flags not being "real" american flags is a bit of a warping of the truth. I brought this up to a Main Street CM one day and they told me of a video, I apologize for not remembering exactly who made it but I believe they were a fairly large TH-camr (maybe SuperCarlinBrothers?) where the host explained that the flag code is not the reason for the inaccurate flags. From what I remember the flag code is just strong suggestions made by the government and haven't been used to get anyone in legal trouble. The real reason for the mostly "inaccurate" flags is that Main Street is set in a very specific time period, back when America was not all fifty states yet and so the flags represent what the flag looked like back when Main Street is set, thus they don't have all the stars that the current flag has. This fact seems to be so widespread however that most people just assume it to be completely factual. Edit: I found the video! It was made by a channel called Rob Plays! Here it is: th-cam.com/video/5kpGotHJv8E/w-d-xo.html
I think the smellitizer thing is true, we were in Galaxy's edge in the market area and not necessarily right around food but then we started to smell something really good... looked up and noticed we were right under a vent.
I'm not sure if anyone already said this, but I think that the cherubs in the ballroom that she was referring to are in Be Our Guest, not the stage show.😄
We did "Family Of The Day" at Epcot too!! I worked at Spaceship Earth so since we were at the very front of the park, we got to pick one family at rope drop to be the first people of the day to ride Spaceship Earth and then we gave them a Fastpass for any attraction in Epcot! ((:
The Mickey Mouse pant colour wouldn't surprise me if it's a trade secret as the exact shade for "Go Away Green" they paint all the backstage buildings, control boxes and infrastructure stuff with is also a trade secret.
One time I went to Disneyland for my birthday and this cast member asked if I wanted to ride Indiana Jones. We followed him past the rope and got our picture taken. Then we got a tour of the ride and front row. That made my day so much!
At Disneyland Paris on the Disney stars on parade if you stand on an area of the parade route where the floats get quite close you can actually smell them, like the peterpan float actually smells like salt!
The same way there is walt's apartment over the fire station in DL, the area that became the castle suite was supposed to be walt's apartment at MK. Obviously, it was never finished out because he passed before the park was finished.
We ARE turning to youtube for entertainment. And we're turning to your videos to fix the lack of us visiting Disney... Thanks for all the insights you're giving us! Also... I like the Big Hero 6 costumes. I wish they'd show up more in the parks.
Well, Disneyland Paris (I'm European so that's my home resort) is releasing some nice videos on their youtube channel. You might want to check it out (if you haven't already) for high-quality videos of things you probably haven't seen before live. Check th-cam.com/video/PZ__sr2OBV8/w-d-xo.html for the cavalcade they had for their 25th birthday in 2017. Which reminds me: Aurora's outfit as hostess (it's happening in front of her castle) is marvellous!
I went on a behind the scenes tour for my birthday in February, our guide showed us the old smell pump thing, but they don't use them anymore I guess. 🤷 It was definitely a thing at one point though.
My fave movie Disney outfit is Ariel's sparkly dress near the end of TLM. In person though, it's the new Aurora dress that shifts from pink to blue depending on the light
I loved all the outfits for the Paint the Night parade in Disneyland that's no longer running. The lights on the outfits were so much fun and they were bright enough that you could see the face of the dancer or character. Tinkerbell's dress and the arm that was making her able to "fly" was super cool!
@@olivia_simone oh my gosh girl me too. I was lucky enough to see it twice before it stopped running and was sitting on the curb each time. So close to those light up floats and characters. I cried both times, no shame lol
I work ed as a cast member back in 2008 on the college program as well. And yes the smellezer is a real think to help to attract people inside the shop
Another fun fact about flags in Disney World. All of the flags that you see on the buildings are fake or misprinted, however the only real flag is the one on the flagpole when you first enter the park. It’s actually ceremoniously raised and lowered every single day and if you were a veteran, you may be asked to lead the lowering of the flag. So keep that in mind if you have a family member who is a veteran.
So the ground in magic kingdom has different patterns to help with people walking around. It’s kinda of a safety thing to help park goers where curbs are at. Source: I went on a keys to the kingdom tour where they talked about this!
I've been told but at least one MK tour guide that under the confectionary at WDW's Main Street, Disney used to release the smell of cookies baking to get guests to think about, crave, and perhaps buy cookies that were sold, but not baked there. After some time, however, Disney decided to start baking cookies on site and to vent the delectable oven exhaust out into the street instead. Same idea, but with real cookie smell.
I love your videos! When you were bringing a character to life did you ever find yourself posing/smiling whilst having photos taken, even though your face could not be seen? I hope that makes sense haha. Lots of love from UK ❤️
Ok, I have a little bit of a story for you. In summer of 2018 I was in Walt Disney world, and I spent 2 days at magic kingdom. I forget what day or month but I remember I thought I saw you at a gift shop, and I was not completely sure it was you, so I just kept walking. But now I know that you were there that summer so yeah... maybe that was you! I probably should have just said hi... oops. 😂😂
FUN FACT ABOUT TRASH CANS!! My Mom and Dad were able to visit Disney Institute when we worked with Salvation Army in California. The people who talked to them and gave them a tour of Backstage Disneyland, said that Walt Disney walked with trash in his pockets and his hands and counted his steps. He was ready to throw the trash away at 13-30 feet and so he had trash cans all over the park at that amount of steps!
I'm dating myself here but my favorite Disney outfit is the queen in the Sleeping Beauty movie from the 1970's. Her whole look was evil incarnate and when she transformed into the dragon it scared the beejezus out of me.
one of my favorite things about working at hollywood studios was that unless you worked in galaxy’s edge, you could walk anywhere in your costume! the reasoning was that it was supposed to be like being on a movie set where you would see people walking around from different departments, so it added to the concept of the park being a film set. you also couldn’t get everywhere in the park through backstage there. the most backstage way for me to get to toy story land still had me walking onstage to get there so most of the time i just walked the entire way onstage just because i could
I went to WDW in January and I thought it was because the railway was under construction! It was a stage show, but there was no "Family of the Day" from what I remember! It's honestly the best part though! Not a CM, but a very huge Disney enthusiast!
The castle suite was not made for Walt and his family since it was built for a promotional event called year of a million dreams that ran from 2006 to 2008
@@olivia_simone Also relevant is that Walt Disney died in 1966, and construction on Walt Disney World didn't start until 1967. Even if it was older than that promotion, it wouldn't have been meant for Walt and his family, just his family.
Disney doesn't sell gum in the parks. Fun fact, you can't even buy gum at the Orlando airport. Though people disagree if gum in the airport is because of an agreement with Disney or just that they thought it was a good idea...
The “brown river” in the middle of the walkway in Frontierland representing sewage is absolutely true! It was confirmed in “The Imagineers Guide to the Magic Kingdom” book. Disney released an “Imagineers Guide” for every park at Walt Disney World, and it’s a very interesting book series. You should check it out!
Hii olivia!! I just wanted to say ilysm!! You’re soo pretty, funny, and so sweet!! I adore your account!! You’re personality is so cute!! You’re so lucky you worked at Disney! It’s been my dream to work at Disneyland! Love you!! 🥺❤️
Ok the part about picking a family each day used to be true. They changed it when the moved ti rope drop to be in front of the castle instead of out side in front of the park.Its not done anymore with picking a family
I’ve been into Orange Bird gear. Got one of the shirts from Flower and Garden this year before they had to close down due to the Coronavirus. Love that shirt! 🍊

Hey! I'm an interior designer, and the sidewalks being different colors is an actual thing called wayfinding! There are obvious wayfinding tactics such as signs and symbols, but something as simple as a different color on the ground can help orient a person better without them even knowing it, as they'll subconsciously associate that color with the part of the park they're in! :)
ahhh that's so interesting! Thank you!!
This concept of way finding that you speak of he's very commonly for those with disabilities as well.And somebody He was blind for 3 years, using different tactile floors, or adding smells to certain areas helped and then for those I have lower IQ sometimes using different colors can help them find their way because colors are easier to Precept then directions.

it is so pretty and simple!

lars try this video says why th-cam.com/video/5kpGotHJv8E/w-d-xo.html
Kateypops why would you need a video to tell you why? It’s because you have to take down flags at night.
I love Tianna's dress...the green one with the leaves.
Honestly I think it's the prettiest and most creative of the princess dresses.
That dress is GORGEOUS!
The smellatizers are real, when I was on one the 7 hr behind the scenes tour. we were in the utilidoors where they pointed the contraption that sprayed out the Scents to Main Street
good to know! thanks for sharing!
I love how Jasmine's costumes in the live action feature were more modest.
Okay, you're the second person to say that! I really need to watch that movie asap
@@olivia_simone You haven't seen in yet? GIRL, it's time to turn in your ears. ;-)
Me too, she is a better role model for girls in the live action version!
Olivia Simone The songs are amazing but bring a tissue just incase some songs might be sad. Claire Temple is right.
@@missims100 Thanks!
Favorite costume from animated movie: The first one coming to mind is Elsa's outfit when she lets her hair down in the new movie
Favorite from live action: Nothing is coming to mind right now, but I know I like many of the outfits!
Cast member: Clearly the Haunted Mansion
I love the Elsa one too!!! and yeah Haunted Mansion's is the bomb dot com
The fact that I'm 21 and cried when I met Tinkerbell and seeing her fly over the castle truly says that Disney does bring the films to life!!
I can only say, that in the Rockin Roller Coaster (now permanetly closed) in Disneyland Paris they have used a scream sound, when the ride starts. And i can say, it worked so good for me. Also, when you stay beside of the track, waiting. The countdown ends and they shoot the cars in the darkness and you hear the screaming sound. Perfect!
ahhh that's good to know! I'll have to pay attention next time I'm waiting in line for that!
Alright Olivia! The people asked and you delivered! Keep these great videos coming! You're getting a 5☆ review on this one😆😂🤣
hahaha thank you!!
You should react to one of “dfb guide” videos! I’m curious to know if they are true
You know, I see those a lot on my feed! I'll watch one soon!
Dfb guide is definitely true. Or at least I would assume so since they sell a guide about all the stuff they talk about lol
Olivia Simone I am a huge DFB guide fan, definitely suggest it!
A dfb guide video would be awesome!
they are super legit i investigated alottt
The painting of Mr Toad handing over the deed to Pooh is in Poohs ride but you have to look back over your left shoulder in one of the rooms. Can't remember which one it is though. Think it might be the windy day one?
Thank youu!! Now I know where to look!!
I think what they where trying to say was that pathways on the floors are colored throughout the park so people know which way to go and stuff.

They do actually pump smells around the park, if you look on the top or on the buildings there are small diffusers located around
I'll have to look next time!
My favorite outfits are Sarah Sanderson’s and Ariel’s blue/black dress!
omg now I want to watch the Hocus Pocus show at the Halloween parties
Rapunzel is always my favorite, I also Anna's traveling outfit from Frozen 2!
I LOVE Rapunzel's outfit!!!

Always learning so much when I watch your videos

I just noticed you had Poodlez Rule in a frame. I have two toy poodles and one poodle mix and it's so cool to meet another poodle fan!
Wow, you have poodles galore! I have a miniature poodle and I love her so much!
My favorite Disney outfit is Ariels dress when she first goes to dinner with Eric ❤️❤️😊👗
that dress is so lovely!
I know this shouldn't make me as happy as it does but for you to mention Night at the Museum 3 made my entire day because the series is so underappreciated! I love your vids and can't wait for the next one!~
Thanks so much!! I should watch that movie again - it's been years!
Love the Haunted Mansion costumes. ♥️
Those are SO COOL
Its amazing how one of your videos make my sadness go away instantly! Thank you!!!
my favourite Disney outfits are all of belles outfits, as well as the haunted mansion cast member outfits.
She has some pretty costumes!! and yeah Haunted Mansion costumes are amazing!!
I love all of the Disney costumes! They’re so beautiful!
That's so true!
MY heights record for finding hidden mickeys at Disney land is 59 oof
uh that's amazing!
Haha whoever made that video was mistaken. the imagineers children can be seen on the ceiling in the ballroom at the Be Our Guest Restaurant, not the stage show at Hollywood Studios.
that makes so much more sense!!
I love Tiana’s green dress! Live action wise I love most of Jasmine’s outfits. Cast member wise I have always had a love for the main street costumes (both east and west).
Ugh okay a third sign that I need to watch the live-action Aladdin!
Olivia Simone gonna be honest it’s not that good lol
however, it’s a simply BEAUTIFUL movie and worth watching just for that!
i love literally all of Epcot's cast members outfits lol
Epcot is the best!!
Soft serve Butterfinger Ice Cream and a Olivia Simons vid... chill times.
oh yum i want some
I love the Halloween dapper fan costumes!
YESSSS
My favorite Disney outfit? Ohhh gosh thats hard........Well honestly I can’t pick a character but I dig all of the merchandise costumes! They are super cool!

I LOVE those too! I think they're so cool!!
Where did you work in Galaxy's Edge??
Olivia Simone i was Guest Flow, so I worked in front of Rise of the Resistance

So like the parade floats can better navigate the route??
Olivia Simone yes and to help the guests know if they are standing in the street in the way of the parade route
Wow I love your videos I saw your worst days at work as a cast member and now I’m watching all your vids
I'm so glad you're enjoying my channel! Thanks for watching :)
I love the live action Cinderella dress because it is just so beautiful and has so much volume and layers of iridescent tulle. Also really like the iconic elsa's ice dress and aurora's colour changing dress.

ooooh I have yet to meet Belle in that dress! and omg I just watched Frozen 2 and the animation had me SHOOK
She is beautiful at Christmas!
And honestly, they did not have to go that hard on Frozen 2 but they really did that, for us.
My grandma and I were the first people on "it's a small world" of the day. That was so awesome because I was and still am a massive fan of the attraction.
My favorite Disney character (animated) was from Mickey’s 60th birthday. He wore a tux with sneakers. It was very cool!

oh interesting!! I haven't been there yet but I am going to look for that when i do go!!
The brown is supposed to be sewage. There’s also no restrooms in that area
that's true, isn't it! I guess the Tangled bathrooms or the passage between Frontierland and Adventureland are the nearest ones! interesting
Great video! My favorite disney outfit is Rapunzel's dress!
Goodness her dress is gorgeous!
I'm not sure if anyone already said this, but I think that the cherubs in the ballroom that she was referring to are in Be Our Guest, not the stage show.😄
We did "Family Of The Day" at Epcot too!! I worked at Spaceship Earth so since we were at the very front of the park, we got to pick one family at rope drop to be the first people of the day to ride Spaceship Earth and then we gave them a Fastpass for any attraction in Epcot! ((:
The fake Flags thing is very much true Olivia
I think the cherubs the video is referring to are on the ceiling of the ballroom at "Be Our Guest" restaurant.

The same way there is walt's apartment over the fire station in DL, the area that became the castle suite was supposed to be walt's apartment at MK. Obviously, it was never finished out because he passed before the park was finished.
I feel exactly the same way about Indy vs Dinosaur! The track is exactly the same, but its SO different 🤣
We ARE turning to youtube for entertainment. And we're turning to your videos to fix the lack of us visiting Disney... Thanks for all the insights you're giving us!
Also... I like the Big Hero 6 costumes. I wish they'd show up more in the parks.
Ahhh yes the lack of visiting disney! I'm desperate for media to fill that void too
Well, Disneyland Paris (I'm European so that's my home resort) is releasing some nice videos on their youtube channel. You might want to check it out (if you haven't already) for high-quality videos of things you probably haven't seen before live. Check th-cam.com/video/PZ__sr2OBV8/w-d-xo.html for the cavalcade they had for their 25th birthday in 2017.
Which reminds me: Aurora's outfit as hostess (it's happening in front of her castle) is marvellous!
I went on a behind the scenes tour for my birthday in February, our guide showed us the old smell pump thing, but they don't use them anymore I guess. 🤷 It was definitely a thing at one point though.
Oh how interesting! Which park was this in??
My fave movie Disney outfit is Ariel's sparkly dress near the end of TLM. In person though, it's the new Aurora dress that shifts from pink to blue depending on the light
Wait, there's a new aurora dress that shifts?! That's so cool!!
Olivia Simone it’s so beautiful. It’s glittery and shimmers. It’s like a duochrome eyeshadow or nail polish. I love this dress
I just wanted to say you inspire me so much and I absolutely love your channel and you are the person who inspired me to want to work at Disney! 🥰
aw that means so much! i'm so glad you like my videos! 🥰
I loved all the outfits for the Paint the Night parade in Disneyland that's no longer running. The lights on the outfits were so much fun and they were bright enough that you could see the face of the dancer or character. Tinkerbell's dress and the arm that was making her able to "fly" was super cool!
PAINT THE NIGHT IS MY FAVORITEEEE! I watch it on TH-cam all the time!
@@olivia_simone oh my gosh girl me too. I was lucky enough to see it twice before it stopped running and was sitting on the curb each time. So close to those light up floats and characters. I cried both times, no shame lol
In the BOG restaurant, if you look up, the babys on the ceiling are all the imagineers!!!
Thank you for that clarification!!! I was trying to wrack my brain around at what point in the hollywood studios stage show there were cherubs!
I work ed as a cast member back in 2008 on the college program as well. And yes the smellezer is a real think to help to attract people inside the shop
very interesting. thanks for the insight!
I found your channel recently, and I’m so glad I did! I love your videos, keep up the good work!!!
Aw thank you so much! I'm so glad you're enjoying my content!
Another fun fact about flags in Disney World. All of the flags that you see on the buildings are fake or misprinted, however the only real flag is the one on the flagpole when you first enter the park. It’s actually ceremoniously raised and lowered every single day and if you were a veteran, you may be asked to lead the lowering of the flag. So keep that in mind if you have a family member who is a veteran.
oooh great insight, thanks!
So the ground in magic kingdom has different patterns to help with people walking around. It’s kinda of a safety thing to help park goers where curbs are at. Source: I went on a keys to the kingdom tour where they talked about this!
Ahhh okay the safety because of curb aspect makes sense. Thanks for sharing!
That Indiana Jones bit had me dying.
My mind was blown and world was rocked
So happy you uploaded, I missed Disney content :) and girl you are GLOWING!!
Oh my gosh you're so sweet 😭 Thank you for watching!
I'm new to your channel and binge watching all disney lol
Welcome!
Woop wooop ^,^ entertainment for this 12hr shift lol
You got this!!!
My favourite costume is the Belle as a bookworm costume. Also, can you do a disney try not to laugh to "disney bloopers."
Her dress is so pretty!! and oooh that sounds like a fun video!
@@olivia_simone I agree, her costume is very pretty.
They do, I’ve noticed when going to Disneyland that they use different smells in different areas in the park, cause smell is a great part of memories.
i guess I just assumed they were naturally wafting off of the rides and the food carts, not that it was an artificial "smellitizer"!
I've been told but at least one MK tour guide that under the confectionary at WDW's Main Street, Disney used to release the smell of cookies baking to get guests to think about, crave, and perhaps buy cookies that were sold, but not baked there. After some time, however, Disney decided to start baking cookies on site and to vent the delectable oven exhaust out into the street instead. Same idea, but with real cookie smell.
See, this is what I was wondering! The artificiality of it all vs natural scents. thank you!
I love your videos! When you were bringing a character to life did you ever find yourself posing/smiling whilst having photos taken, even though your face could not be seen? I hope that makes sense haha. Lots of love from UK ❤️
Thank you so so much!! And oh, every single time! It felt kind of dumb but you can't help it!
Your hair is so pretty in this video!❤
Aw thank you!! It had a bit more body beforehand but it fell out pretty quickly lol
Ok, I have a little bit of a story for you. In summer of 2018 I was in Walt Disney world, and I spent 2 days at magic kingdom. I forget what day or month but I remember I thought I saw you at a gift shop, and I was not completely sure it was you, so I just kept walking. But now I know that you were there that summer so yeah... maybe that was you! I probably should have just said hi... oops. 😂😂
hahaha it totally could've been!! I picked up a few shifts at Big Top Circus!
They do pump scent outside because in khan academy imagineering in a box they tell you that
good to know, thank you!
yay I love your reactions sooooooooooooooooo much
yay I'm so glad!
Are you planning on making videos about the new bachelor show, listen to your heart? I’d be totally down to watch that
I am not lol I think it's a stupid concept and I don't really want to watch it. I respect anyone who does watch it though! It's just not for me
I love you so much Olivia!! I’ve been watching you for 3 years and your videos are so chill and I love them!! 🥰❤️
Aw thank you so much!!!
Dinosaur is Indy and Test Track is Radiator Springs Racers!
Wait really?! Okay now I'm really shook
FUN FACT ABOUT TRASH CANS!! My Mom and Dad were able to visit Disney Institute when we worked with Salvation Army in California. The people who talked to them and gave them a tour of Backstage Disneyland, said that Walt Disney walked with trash in his pockets and his hands and counted his steps. He was ready to throw the trash away at 13-30 feet and so he had trash cans all over the park at that amount of steps!
Love that fact!!
Can we please get some more cast member story time?😁🥺
Really love the cm costumes for haunted mansion and tower of terror really helps set the theme of the ride
I agree with you completely!
The Pickles are a real thing. I saw it on my ride. I asked myself... Well, that's just disney. Pickles and jars🤣👌
lolol 😂 I can't wait to go back and look for it!
I'm dating myself here but my favorite Disney outfit is the queen in the Sleeping Beauty movie from the 1970's. Her whole look was evil incarnate and when she transformed into the dragon it scared the beejezus out of me.
I love watching all your videos so much! I’m 13, but I would loveeee to work at Disney when I’m older. Love you so much Olivia. 🥰
I’m 12, and I already have plans for the DCP! Maybe one day we’ll work there together
I’m thirteen to we should all go together lol
What do u want to work as? I want to be a character performer. I love acting!
I would love to be a character performer, a merch store worker, or a ride operator basically just work at Disney
I wanna work in character performer, merchandise, bibbidi bobbidi boutique, character attendant, or photopass
one of my favorite things about working at hollywood studios was that unless you worked in galaxy’s edge, you could walk anywhere in your costume! the reasoning was that it was supposed to be like being on a movie set where you would see people walking around from different departments, so it added to the concept of the park being a film set. you also couldn’t get everywhere in the park through backstage there. the most backstage way for me to get to toy story land still had me walking onstage to get there so most of the time i just walked the entire way onstage just because i could
Okay that is the most amazing fun fact ever! i had no clue studios was that way but it makes total sense!!
You rock! I can't wait to go back and watch some of your videos. Keep up the awesome videos!
Aw thank you so much!
I went to WDW in January and I thought it was because the railway was under construction! It was a stage show, but there was no "Family of the Day" from what I remember! It's honestly the best part though!
Not a CM, but a very huge Disney enthusiast!
ooh good to know! thanks for sharing that!
The castle suite was not made for Walt and his family since it was built for a promotional event called year of a million dreams that ran from 2006 to 2008
Also the ground is meant to represent sewage
huh! I wonder if it was refurbished for the 2006-2008 thing but was built earlier? Or didn't exist at all until then! Interesting!
@@olivia_simone Also relevant is that Walt Disney died in 1966, and construction on Walt Disney World didn't start until 1967. Even if it was older than that promotion, it wouldn't have been meant for Walt and his family, just his family.
Elsa’s original outfit is by far my favorite outfit ever
It's so pretty!
Disney doesn't sell gum in the parks. Fun fact, you can't even buy gum at the Orlando airport. Though people disagree if gum in the airport is because of an agreement with Disney or just that they thought it was a good idea...
ooooh I'm gonna look for that next time I'm in MCO!
The “brown river” in the middle of the walkway in Frontierland representing sewage is absolutely true! It was confirmed in “The Imagineers Guide to the Magic Kingdom” book. Disney released an “Imagineers Guide” for every park at Walt Disney World, and it’s a very interesting book series. You should check it out!
Oooh I will look that up! Thank you!
Olivia Simone you’re welcome. Amazon should have it available.
They mention this on the Keys to the Kingdom tour as well
my favorite cm outfit is the bibbidy bobbidy boutique. They are exactly what you would think fairy godmother in training would look like
They have the cutest costumes 😭
Hii olivia!! I just wanted to say ilysm!! You’re soo pretty, funny, and so sweet!! I adore your account!! You’re personality is so cute!! You’re so lucky you worked at Disney! It’s been my dream to work at Disneyland! Love you!! 🥺❤️
Ok the part about picking a family each day used to be true. They changed it when the moved ti rope drop to be in front of the castle instead of out side in front of the park.Its not done anymore with picking a family
Okay, thank you for confirming that!!
I’ve been into Orange Bird gear. Got one of the shirts from Flower and Garden this year before they had to close down due to the Coronavirus.
Love that shirt! 🍊
It's such a tropical theme!
