TheOldTopleaf Phantom Manor is one of my favorite versions of the Haunted Mansion story. It's just so unique and (pun not intended) quite haunting. I almost love it as much as the original, but nothing beats the original.
During our ride in the stretch room at DWF, a little girl had the Elana of Avalor wand and said this when it was dark," I have this!" It lit up and the whole room started laughing!
The thing with Queues. Since Im studying linguistics and all. Different countries have different distances when it comes to social and personal space. For example, in Spain, our personal space is pretty small (it just is), but in other countries, you need like over a meter in diameter of personal space. Having that in mind, when you are in a Queue, with lots of different European countries, personal space tends to "not exist", they dont respect it, its just, its different. Basically personal space in Europe is (dont get 5cm close to me, but 10cm is fine. Exagerated, but you get the point). Also, if you get distracted looking at all the pretty pictures and props, people will just pass you, not because they are rude, but because they just dont bother having their time wasted by people who stop. Its more like "While you stop and look at the props, im going to continue through the queue, because I want to get to the ride".
This is amazing! I'm going to Disneyland Paris in a few weeks and your videos have given me so many ideas of what I can do while I'm there and loads of new ways to explore the park! Thank you SO much 😄
Adventureland looks so cool! It was all closed for refurbishment last summer. My crankypants of a son was so upset with all the closed rides and lack of allergy-free food that he swore he would never be back at DLP, but Justin, you have done your duty because now my Robert can't wait to go back. @livefastdiepoor @justinscarred Do the chefs at the Castle Club cook the food just like the stateside Parks? It's the only way Robert will not starve during the trip and not be so "hangry." Thanks for another great Adventure, Justin!
Have you gone into establishments and personally asked about allergy free foods? I've worked foods at disney and they definitely do a lot for allergies!
I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos! I've been growing a slight obsession with learning as much about the Disney parks as possible, and your adventures and fun commentary make the learning so much more fun!! You're fantastic!
Love it, Ally is sitting on a skull throne surrounded by other skulls formations, giving off an adorable smile. Kind of "Hey, how's it going?" vibe. I also found it weeeird that while you are on the Jolly Rodger, I'm having some Jolly Rodger candy while watching. I love that stuff. I have seen a video put out by Disney on how they updated Peter Pan's Flight there. They added some new action effects, better paint, and materials so the black light makes them pop out really well. Plus a few extra hidden Mickey's to boot. Those type of improvements should be done, or possibly have been done, in the parks over here. One last thing, I've had many friends travel to Europe numerous times and they have told me about how "Personal space" is a concept that does not exist there. They said it could get quite annoying because of how pick-pocketing seems to be a sport in some areas, but you do get used to it. But in the reverse, it's not like we here don't have our strange quirks that may annoy those from Europe also. I couldn't help but notice in the end in the background a redheaded woman holding a Mickey head balloon. Leather coat and um, leather pants. How do you be flexible enough to get on some of the rides? There is no way in heck I could do that. I would just hurt myself horribly somehow! Keep having fun over there, because from watching these going there and staying at the hotel looks like a new bucket list item.
Justin's Old West voice is what what I call a hootin and a hauler in voice and it is Old West, keep it up I love it. thanks for your entertainment really thanks.
I absolutely loved the caves. Did them back in January 2017 when I was there. I found it interesting that there were initial plans for them to build a splash mountain attraction. I lived in London for a year and a half and have been to Paris (including DLP) on several occasions. The weather is actually freezing during the winter periods and during the summer the weather fluctuates but it tends to be cooler with spurts of warm fronts now and then. It wouldn’t make sense from a climate perspective due to fluctuating temperatures for the splash mountain ride to have been successful. Disneyland Paris is my favorite Disney resort outside of the United States.
Nice video Justin! Never have I ever been to Disneyland Paris so it is very cool for you to bring us on the adventure and, Good luck on the road to 100K.
Thanks, guys - I'm very much enjoying this tour. I'd like to go over there some day, but it's a bit expensive for us right now, so taking us on a "ride-along" is the next best thing. :-)
Hooray Hooray! Your videos make my day. So excited for the Disney Paris ones...I will be traveling there this June. Thank you Justin for making each day sparkle a little brighter.
In Britain we queue up like you guys do. I went to Disneyland Paris a few years ago and was quite shocked by everyone pushing past me and my family. But yeah, so it isn't the entirety of Europe.
i went in September of this year and i didn't experience any queue jumping. the french were very respectful of queueing properly and were even better than the UK at queuing.
ive just recently came back (17/11/17) and pretty much every french person tried to push infront of us that was in the line, it was worse on hyperspace mountain but yeah. they're not very good at queuing and are also quite rude and will nudge you alot when they walk.
I went in September 2016, January 2017, and then again in July 2017 and I had no problems with queue jumping. Everyone waited in line in a quiet and orderly fashion
I'm sure you won't see this but you're videos are fun, informative and the editing is great! My wife, two kids (16 and 10) and myself watch your videos together. So entertaining! Great job man 🤘
Boy oh boy, your intense storytelling is word a lot of gold! especially these days!! Love the positivity, and love all you guys from the sometimes mobb. Hopefully we meet one day. Much love, Yannick
Great video mate! Whilst DLP is my closest Disneyland Park, oddly I've been to Disneyland in Anaheim more often…! And every time I visit DLP I always seem to forget what major Disneyland staples it *doesn't* have, like a Splash Mountain, or a Jungle Cruise... but I do think the various theming elements (such as the dragon under the castle, the pirate caves and the massive expanse that is Adventureland) make up for it!
I can't help but notice the lack of large crowds over there. It must make the park so much more enjoyable. I know I would love it if I were lucky to make it to Paris.
currently starting to save to go back to Paris. Ive only ever been there once when I was 14 (2004/5) in the Winter when it was quite empty, but it was the best school trip ever! (apart form the morning seminars) but we got to go in before the gates were open, go backstage and stay there until the gates closed. It was so good - and my first experience on bigger rides at the time. Big Thunder Railroad is my fave and Frontierland my fave area of the Paris one. I wish to someday make it out to the CA one though.
That is one thing that I really miss about Disneyland is the old Tom Sowyers island. It used to have more stuff to walk thru. I wonder if Disney was to open another park in the States if it would be as elaborate at DLand Paris.
These videos are really entertaining once you watch them behind a computer screen, but Allie is so brave to put up with all of the theatricality from Justin. Still pretty good^^
The backwards thing was really FUN in Indiana jones; Temple of Doom :) Sadly, they don't do it anymore... There are some drops in it so it was really fun to Suddenly drop.
I'm pretty sure that the 'Hole in the Wall Gang' tombstone is a joke by the imagineers and features the names of the people that worked on the attraction! Also Indiana Jones was the first Disney ride to feature an inversion :)
Seeing phantom manor in this level of detail makes me think - you should make a video about the Western River Ride - the Disneyworld ride which was never built, but of which parts have shown up in other rides - like such as this old west section!
I know it sounds weird but the idea of "personal space" is a part of speaking english. Other languages don't have it. If you're in a room full of French speakers, for example, they can be an inch away and not think twice about it. Also the skeleton laughing maniacally is damn scary.
Your enthusiasm is soooooo infectious! I wish you had visited DLP before I did back in 2011. I may have appreciated it more. I guess it didn't help that I was partly responsible for 200 11 yr olds;) although my students are all amazing. But being a big WDW fan I was disappointed by the poor customer service, limited attractions to disperse the crowds and it just lacked the magic that I get in Florida. Yet to see Disneyland bit that's on my to do list next year:)
I read that the grave with the heartbeat sound is Melanie's. Henry, her father, didn't want her to leave home. The groom, as soon as he married her, was going to take her away from Thunder Mesa and Henry just didn't approve of that. Melanie waited in vain. Didn't anyone think to check the attic?
Meghan Mc Clamma I don’t think so, the guests slowly left the Manor leaving Melanie alone in Manor with a bunch of butlers and maids. Maybe she didn’t check the attic because no body went to the attic.
I wonder if attendance will build as kids in the 90s will take their kids and then the nostalgia factor will bring 'em back again and again. I imagine French realize they can be cool and cultured and still enjoy the park.
It can't be any better for a Peter Pan fan than seeing the Jolly Roger and Skull Rock in one day? How about opening your school's "Peter Pan the Musical" as the Darling family's maid Liza and receiving a 1911 copy of the book "Peter Pan and Wendy"? But seeing the Jolly Roger and Skull Rock in one day sounds awesome! Someday, I will go to Disneyland, Paris, and I will go there, but for now, I will content myself with watching this video.
if you were right next to ally and you started saying OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOlD west and she DIDN'T cover your mouth would you just keep on saying that forever?
Love the 'Goonies' and 'Hook' references! I'm glad to know I'm not the only one who thought of that immediately!
Dear Allie, Thank you for keeping Justin's "Old West" calls to reasonable lengths.
Chris Scheetz IKR
The music in Phantom Manor is incredible. So haunting, so dramatic, so beautiful. One of the many reasons to love that ride.
TheOldTopleaf do you know the story of the Phantom manor?
I saw on Offhand Disney video that the story behind the Phantom Manor was inspired by novel Phantom of the opera by Gaston Leroux.
TheOldTopleaf Phantom Manor is one of my favorite versions of the Haunted Mansion story. It's just so unique and (pun not intended) quite haunting. I almost love it as much as the original, but nothing beats the original.
This is my favorite version of the haunted mansion. The haunted mansion holiday comes in at a close 2nd
I've never had the desire to ever see Disneyland Paris until now. You two have totally changed my mind!!!
Phantom Manor is my favourite ride ever in every Disney Park :D loved it that you took so much time to explain the story!!
My favorite part of Disneyland Paris, Frontierland :)
Justin thank you so much for your videos!! Been binging them since the quarantine! My family and I miss Disneyland so so much!!! Thank you again!
I love those caves especially that pirate throne thingie that you can't quite sit on properly for some reason
0:10 The Tim Tracker????
TheHaloRed that's what I was thinking
Thats What I Thought Too lol
of course.
hahaha totally thought the same :D
During our ride in the stretch room at DWF, a little girl had the Elana of Avalor wand and said this when it was dark," I have this!" It lit up and the whole room started laughing!
Thumbs up if everyone is enjoying allie's presnence in the passed videos since they got to Paris! 😊 Allie is seriously building up a fan base!
mastroga21 please stop this thumbs up business

megzabeebee so am I. So exciting
Well that's not fair. I was evacuated off of Big Thunder in Anaheim, and we didn't get any hunky firemen...
"this dragons not evil, just misunderstood" Made my afternoon
Justin this rocks!!! Thank you for always being so cool! Phantom Manor looks amazing!
LMAO AT THE END WHEN JUSTIN FALLS DOWN and People are Starring him as well as looking at the camera!
Adventureland looks so cool! It was all closed for refurbishment last summer. My crankypants of a son was so upset with all the closed rides and lack of allergy-free food that he swore he would never be back at DLP, but Justin, you have done your duty because now my Robert can't wait to go back. @livefastdiepoor @justinscarred Do the chefs at the Castle Club cook the food just like the stateside Parks? It's the only way Robert will not starve during the trip and not be so "hangry." Thanks for another great Adventure, Justin!
Have you gone into establishments and personally asked about allergy free foods? I've worked foods at disney and they definitely do a lot for allergies!
Another great produced video by Justin. Thank you!
I would love to ride Phantom Manor some day! Disneyland Paris is definitely on my list of places I am going to visit!
COME TO ENGLAND WE QUEUE PROPERLY!
Some Crazed Nerd well apparently you guys don't queue properly because I am from the Netherlands and I never had the problem there
I loved your storytelling of the Phantom Manor and the Big Thunder Mountain's connection. Keep it up!
Also, the Indiana Jones Roller Coaster story reminds me of when Six Flags Magic Mountain had Batman and Colossus go backward.
I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos! I've been growing a slight obsession with learning as much about the Disney parks as possible, and your adventures and fun commentary make the learning so much more fun!! You're fantastic!

LOVE IT, EVEN THOMIM WATCHING IT IN 2024…..The years fly by too quickly…….You both look the same 7 years later. 🙏🏽❤️🌲
thank u so much for taking time out of your vacation and interrupt your sightseeing to make sure we get the best content you can provide us.
They used to have a pirate show on the captain hooks ship with pirate battles and acrobatics off the ship into the water, was awesome
Thanks for the awesome video Justin! Disneyland Paris is stunning!
Thanks for sharing Justin!
Nice video Justin! Never have I ever been to Disneyland Paris so it is very cool for you to bring us on the adventure and, Good luck on the road to 100K.
Yay another video!! Thanks Justin and Ally! :)
yes i remember the indiana jones ride was going backwards and it was awesome!! still miss it!
Thanks, guys - I'm very much enjoying this tour. I'd like to go over there some day, but it's a bit expensive for us right now, so taking us on a "ride-along" is the next best thing. :-)
Living vicariously through your adventures
Thank you for making this video. When I was there last year, this part of the park was closed, so I had no chance to see it.
Hooray Hooray! Your videos make my day. So excited for the Disney Paris ones...I will be traveling there this June. Thank you Justin for making each day sparkle a little brighter.
In Britain we queue up like you guys do. I went to Disneyland Paris a few years ago and was quite shocked by everyone pushing past me and my family. But yeah, so it isn't the entirety of Europe.
people in Paris don't wait in line?
plaguebeast went in August didn't get pushed once
i went in September of this year and i didn't experience any queue jumping. the french were very respectful of queueing properly and were even better than the UK at queuing.

Really enjoying your Paris vlogs! Thanks for taking the time to film while you're on vacation :-)
Justin thanks for anothet great tour of Disney Paris you make it feel like i am thrtr with you. See you soon
Disneyland Paris looks so neat! Thank you for creating this video! It's always so much fun to watch your videos!
Great video mate! Whilst DLP is my closest Disneyland Park, oddly I've been to Disneyland in Anaheim more often…! And every time I visit DLP I always seem to forget what major Disneyland staples it *doesn't* have, like a Splash Mountain, or a Jungle Cruise... but I do think the various theming elements (such as the dragon under the castle, the pirate caves and the massive expanse that is Adventureland) make up for it!
I can't help but notice the lack of large crowds over there. It must make the park so much more enjoyable. I know I would love it if I were lucky to make it to Paris.
I feel like Disneyland Paris is more of the experience while the US Disney Parks is more of rides and attractions
I don't know why but I find the part where you cut to 21:18 hilarious. that goofy chuckle gets me.
currently starting to save to go back to Paris. Ive only ever been there once when I was 14 (2004/5) in the Winter when it was quite empty, but it was the best school trip ever! (apart form the morning seminars) but we got to go in before the gates were open, go backstage and stay there until the gates closed. It was so good - and my first experience on bigger rides at the time. Big Thunder Railroad is my fave and Frontierland my fave area of the Paris one. I wish to someday make it out to the CA one though.
Indy's coaster also ran backwards when we went, wish is why i wussed out and missed it.
10/10 for Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom bridge reference!!!
That is one thing that I really miss about Disneyland is the old Tom Sowyers island. It used to have more stuff to walk thru. I wonder if Disney was to open another park in the States if it would be as elaborate at DLand Paris.
If you think that bridge is long you should go to the one in Gatlinburg Tennessee. it's called Skyland Park if you're interested!
Im really enjoying this Paris Trip so far👍🏼
Phantom Manor reminds me of the house in Psycho/Bates Motel-great design!
love it love it love it!!! I wanna go to that park soon!!!
They used to do some shows on the Jolly Roger, hence the doors. It has quite a backstage area in there, plus an access tunnel.
Thank you for taking me to places I will never get too visit !
These videos are really entertaining once you watch them behind a computer screen, but Allie is so brave to put up with all of the theatricality from Justin. Still pretty good^^
"One-eyed Willy" and "The Skull Queen." you're on fire!
The backwards thing was really FUN in Indiana jones; Temple of Doom :)
Sadly, they don't do it anymore... There are some drops in it so it was really fun to Suddenly drop.
10/10 to that Rocky impression!
The Goonies! My favorite pirate movie! (Don't tell Disney) Thanks for another adventure!
I'm pretty sure that the 'Hole in the Wall Gang' tombstone is a joke by the imagineers and features the names of the people that worked on the attraction! Also Indiana Jones was the first Disney ride to feature an inversion :)
You're awesome, Justin.
Yes, I would be jumping up and down on that bridge, and I think it would be loads of fun. :D
she looked genuinely terrified in those caves lol
ReviewsTechNow she really dose! 😂😂
YAY PHANTOM MANOR! I LOVE HER VOICE!
Seeing phantom manor in this level of detail makes me think - you should make a video about the Western River Ride - the Disneyworld ride which was never built, but of which parts have shown up in other rides - like such as this old west section!
Great video Justin!
Can't wait to go there in October
5:47 It's the phantom hanging the groom.
I know it sounds weird but the idea of "personal space" is a part of speaking english. Other languages don't have it.
If you're in a room full of French speakers, for example, they can be an inch away and not think twice about it.
Also the skeleton laughing maniacally is damn scary.
When you talked about the story of Thunder mountain and the Phantom Manor... I imagined Gallowwalkers.
Awesome video like always🤗 im going in 5 days! Cant wait
In Britain we give everyone more than enough room, and even if we make eye contact we apologise.
Bill Jr. well when I was in Disneyland Paris all the British people where just acting very weird and awkwardly so maybe you are causing it yourself
Love all the Indiana Jones references :)
Do 10 weird things at dlp or Disneyland Paris
Watchdog12308 ewell Why at just paris and not all parks
GrandTheftGaming good point
Disneyland Master great idea!
lol. The people watching you at the end thought you were nuts. Little do they know. lol
Another awesome video!
Your enthusiasm is soooooo infectious! I wish you had visited DLP before I did back in 2011. I may have appreciated it more.

Yet to see Disneyland bit that's on my to do list next year:)
you make me laugh out load! enjoying your narrative!
didn't expect that joke to be in a Disney park haha
Disney is getting frisky
I read that the grave with the heartbeat sound is Melanie's. Henry, her father, didn't want her to leave home. The groom, as soon as he married her, was going to take her away from Thunder Mesa and Henry just didn't approve of that. Melanie waited in vain. Didn't anyone think to check the attic?
Meghan Mc Clamma I don’t think so, the guests slowly left the Manor leaving Melanie alone in Manor with a bunch of butlers and maids. Maybe she didn’t check the attic because no body went to the attic.
When we go to Disneyland (which is a couple timers every year). We don't even bother calling It the haunted mansion, we just call it bates motel😆
Were there any hungry alligators under the indy bridge?ha Rad pan ride at the end! Short Round would be Proud! comment over
With what camera are the recordings? Incredible low light shots in the phantom manor.
OMG, you sir are a GOOF! Which is why I'm subscribing!
I would love to see you take on Casa Bonita in Denver
Justin has some voice acting material
Whoa!! Was that the Dreamfinder?!
1:40 Ally: I’m not letting him embarrass me in more than 1 country.
I wonder if attendance will build as kids in the 90s will take their kids and then the nostalgia factor will bring 'em back again and again. I imagine French realize they can be cool and cultured and still enjoy the park.
You guys are such an adorable couple!!!
Ally you fell in love with a clown. He better appreciate you as much as we do!
It can't be any better for a Peter Pan fan than seeing the Jolly Roger and Skull Rock in one day? How about opening your school's "Peter Pan the Musical" as the Darling family's maid Liza and receiving a 1911 copy of the book "Peter Pan and Wendy"?
But seeing the Jolly Roger and Skull Rock in one day sounds awesome! Someday, I will go to Disneyland, Paris, and I will go there, but for now, I will content myself with watching this video.
The ride building is a mix of the haunted Mansion and the Phantom Manor of the ooooooooooooolllllllllldd west
I hear the rides at Disney Paris are constantly breaking, more then in the states?
if you were right next to ally and you started saying OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOlD west and she DIDN'T cover your mouth would you just keep on saying that forever?
Corey Page there's some videos when Alley isn't there and he doesn't go on forever.
i love the video. How many more days are you going to stay in paris
