EXPLORING EFTELING (Dutch Disneyland) 🇳🇱l
Thoughts on this vlog? Any advice for next time? Do you think Walt Disney came here back in the 50s? 🤔
We SO enjoyed Efteling and can’t wait to come back. 🥰
As many of you have mentioned, we did miss a lot of the attractions in the park. Next time we’ll be sure to cover the entire thing. We really want to bring our family and friends too next time so it’ll be cool to experience some parts for the first time 🤗
Love you all ❤️
Efteling is not the dutch version of Disneyland, instead, Disneyland is the American version of Efteling.
Hi i am from the Netherlands❤
Loved the vid guys!!
You guys should wait a couple of years. Right now the building of the new hotel is delayed and they are building a new themed area called dance macabre. This is where the old spookslot (haunted castle) used to be. When all this is finished then come again and feel the world of Efteling the way it is meant to be
Fyi. Try the Vliegende Hollander.
The way you guys said "f telling"
Made me laugh, but like no hate, 😊thanks for visiting
I don't know if Disney actually visitted Efteling, but it's a very common thing to hear. Efteling does precede the first Disney park, but in its infant years wasn't actually that much of a theme park. It was basically the fairytale forest (with much less fairytales than now), an outdoor pool and canoo lake until they opened the first big attraction (which was also a walkthough) in 1978. It wasn't until after Python opened in 1981 that Efteling really started to grow faster and faster, and started growing into one of the biggest theme parks in Europe.
Personally I also don't quite agree with comparing it to Disney. I think Disney is very commercial and American, while Efteling draws from those old and darker European fairytales and folklore. Disney has more funds and creates great rides, but nothing beats the style and atmosphere of Efteling. Just my two cents.
Omg as an Efteling fan I wished the DIsney story was true. But Efteling itself multiple times admitted the story is not true. :(
Disney and Efteling do have a close bond together and work together. Efteling got asked for advice on European culture when Disney Paris was being build. You can even hear Efteling music in Disney parks on some of the carousels. You can find clips on YT of this.
Disney'S Tony Baxter, an fan of Efteling, even helped Efteling get an big theme park award in 2005
We are learning so much reading these comments. Thank you for sharing all of your “two cents” and feel to write more. We really love learning about Efteling. All of the things we missed make us want to come again knowing more background to the park and its relationship to Disney.
Cheers. Hope you enjoyed our vlog 🥰🤗
The thing that I find the most Dutch is probably the topless mermaid in a childrens fairytale forest. Now that's what real freedom is al about.
Lololol
Creepy
How so? @@dalemoore8582
Why? @@dalemoore8582
Gezellig!
Thanks for visiting. There alot more atractions than shown in the video 😄 Hope u did ride em all, especialy ''Fata Morgana'' and ''Droomvlucht'', those are one of the best and oldest rides of the Efteling. Greatings from a dutchman.
Hello 🤗 yeah we didn’t film a lot of the dark rides because they show up so poorly, but we definitely want to come back again and see the rest of the park 🥰
@@WyattandReykaplease let us know when you are back. if you want a guide let me know.
Efteling is a park you need to go with an experienced eftelinger to get more details if you want! You'll get more in love for sure
This was awesome! I'm Dutch, living outside the country, and the nostalgia was crazy. Thanks for making such an entertaining video! Super underrated. :)
Dawww wow. You’re so kind. Happy to give you a bit of nostalgia 🥰❤️🤗
Great vlog, editing had a great pace. You missed so much of the park, especially the dark rides. Hope you make it back some day.
Yes we did miss some rides, You definitely could spend several days at Efteling and have a wonderful time! Thanks for watching and the support🥰🤗
After visiting this year, it quickly became one of our favourite parks! We are making it an annual trip from now on and are booked for summer next year!
Yeah it’s the absolute bomb, right?! That’s great. We want to bring our whole family there now lol
What a great visit. My childhood park. Be sure to return next year for thr new attractions
We definitely will!
We want to bring our family and friends next time too🥰 it was such a fun time and we’re surprised more Americans don’t know about Efteling. We really hope more folks realize the gem lying within the Netherlands ❤️
Walt Disney did visit Efteling. That is how he started Disneyland. It is a wonderful themapark, Efteling . It is a little darter than Disneyland. But i love Efteling since i was a Child, now i go with my kids. Espesially in July/August or november/december. ❤
So cool! Thanks for sharing your thoughts 🥰🤗 Efteling would be a wonderful place to take your kids ❤️
Walt never visited the efteling... the 'rumor' was started by the then active P.R. manager working for the Efteling....
Legit adding this to the list of places we need to visit.
Please make sure you have at least 2 days and stay in the resort (1 night stay includes 2 days in the park).
The vlog was great, but they literally just did half of the attractions. So many wonderful dark rides and shows they missed. Please come and see for yourself
You totally should!! 🥰🥰 Efteling is seriously magical ❤️
Hope you had fun recommend going with a big group of family so much fun! Hope you had fun!
Definitely!! We’ve been telling our entire families they need to go 🥰
loved your vlogs.
Thank you so much for watching and the sweet comment! We appreciate you🥰🤗
In my opinion, the roof at the entrance gate to this tourist spot is similar to the roof of one of the traditional Indonesian houses called Rumah Gadang (Gadang house)
Interesting!! Well now we want to visit rumah gadang hahaha 🥰🥰
@@WyattandReyka It's a building style, not a place..
Nice vlog !
Het Sprookjesbos is actually a museum in itself (Efteling is one of the first theme-parks at least in Europe.
Disney knew of the designs and pictures by Anton Pieck.
Thank you so much!! 🥰❤️ we really enjoyed making it and can’t wait to come back.
Where are you from and do you have advice for the next time we visit? 🤔
There' are way older 'theme' or 'amusement' parks. Like for instance Tivoli in Kopenhagen. And there's one that claims to be 100's of years old (forgot the name).
@@rmyikzelf5604 ONE of the, not necessarily
THE oldest.
Find the one that is a 100 years old ....
Tip: go when schools are working, go in the back of the ride. I once had 8 rides in a row without leaving the cart and going back into the line🙂 So with baron: choose the left doors
Excellent tips!! We’ll definitely keep those in the mind the next time we visit 🥰
It seems that you missed a whole section of the park.. The Anton Pieck Square, Marerijk with Droomvlucht & Villa Volta.. Or they were closed at that time, which is a shame because it are 2 pearls of the park.
Not only that but how about fata morgana, max and moritz, phirana, vogel rok, carnival festival and so on
Next time we visit we will definitely make sure to visit all of these places! 🥰
Thank you very much for helping us out.
Wow such a nice Park
Right?!?! It’s amazing!
How fun!
Carrie!!! Thanks so much it was a blast!!🤗🥰
while Walt Disney did not visit the Efteling
I did hear somewhere that the people of Efteling, did help with the contruction of Disneyland Paris
Interesting! Yeah could definitely see that. All around seems like not much is known about it all. Fun to read about people’s theories 😊
I'm from The Netherlands and yes Efteling is awesome, next year there's also an new ghost house, before it was Spookkasteel, new name is Dance Macabre.
Oh neat! We’ll have to come back next year then 🥰🤗
Spookslot not Spookkasteel. 😀
par-dous or par-doos would be it in phonetic english ;) oe is like the ooh sounds in the letter Q or the letter U or school or do
Ohhhhh makes so much sense! “Par-doos”. Next time we visit we’ll be able to say it correctly 🥰🤗
Lol, no seatbelts is the most american remark ever. 😂
Haha at the end of the day we can’t help our “American-ness” lol. Hope you enjoyed the vlog though! 🤗😂
Yes he was ther for disneyland
You really think so?! We love the idea that he was there 🤗
as a dutch person, i must inform you its said efteling with a short second e, not a long one, also the baron you say it baron, the o from over
Pronunciation is always a struggle, but thank you! Are you from the Netherlands?
Best park in the world !
It really is magical, in so many senses of the word. We can't wait to go back
There is no proof that Walt Disney visited the Efteling. But it is possible. Walt Disney has visited a lot of parks in Europe before he build his park. Some animatronics in the Efteling pre-dates the parks by Walt Disney
The imagineers from Disney do visit the Efteling. And some attractions in Efteling have been inspired on Disney attractions.
That is so interesting! Thanks for the response and the watch! We loved Efteling it was such a fun park! Take care🥰
Yes and when Disneyland Paris was build, they asked Efteling to help.
Walt never went to Efteling. He was in NL in 1951 visiting studios doing the Dutch dubs of the movies. Efteling was a sportpark with a children's playground in 1951. The Fairytale Forest only opened in 1952.
Is it open at nighttime? I've never seen any night footage.
We’ve never seen anything about that but definitely might be? Anyone else know?
@@WyattandReyka during the sumerholidays (july and august it's open from 10:00 til 22:00) For the best experience because you have only seen 25% (in this video) of the park, you should stay a few nights in one of the special Efteling holidayparks or in the hotel (second hotel is coming in 2025)
For sure. We'd love to come back and do a whole Efteling series eventually. The world is just so big and there's so many places to see haha
Only non dutch people (especially Americans) call it the dutch Disneyland. Imo it is better than Disney but i am extremely biased.😂
And no i do not think Walt visited the Efteling he did however visited Denmark (Tivoli Gardens). So the credits should be giving to Denmark.
So interesting!! 🥰 yeah we can see how you’d like Efteling more. It feels more rustic and raw, it that makes sense haha. Disney is so commercialized, but also a blast in our opinion lol.
Would love to see Efteling make different versions like an “Efteling Sea” like the Disney Sea in Tokyo. Although that might tarnish the relaxed, folksy vibe of the place. Thanks for watching and cheers 🥰😛
Yeah i think that will never happen. This is not their vision into making more or be more commercialized. Let me say this i hope they never will do what Disney is doing.@ndReyka
and aveybody misses the best part the ravelijn theather with dragons and swordfights
Next time we’ll have to catch that one! Loved Efteling a lot excited to come back some day 🥰
The Efteling is older than Disney.. Disney is thet Murikan Efteling ;]
Hahaha love it 🥰
When you missed 3 realms. Anderrijk, marerijk en reizenrijk
Thanks so much for the help! 🥰❤️ we were in a bit of hurry because we had to get down to Maastricht, but we are very thankful to have even visited Efteling at all.
Next time we’ll be sure to explore the entire park. We want to bring our family and friends to Efteling. It’s so fun there 👍🤗
@@WyattandReyka you can rent appartments for 4 persons, houses for 4, 6, 8, 12 and 24 people. 😉 You rent included the entrance fee and is a lot cheaper (food also) as Disneyland Paris.
Why foreigners always say the Dutch Disneyland, it's not Disneyland has nothing to do with Disney. It even is older than Disneyland.
Honestly not sure. But I’d guess it’s because Disneyland is a nice frame of reference as the most well-known theme park in the world, it quickly tells a lot of people what kind of park Efteling is. Also, it makes people curious about what’s different about a Dutch theme park than the commercialised American one
(Dutch Disneyland)? No way!
We loved efteling! Can't wait to come back
I don’t think that was symbolica, that was a atraction named villa fantasie (mansion fantasy in English I think)
Oh really? 🤔
@@WyattandReyka I think so, last time I remember symbolica is something where you ride around in a cart and see all kinds of fairy realms
Ah gotcha. If that’s the case, our honest mistake 🤗
Efteling is soooo fun! Can’t wait to come back haha
No, the one you’re confusing it with is droomvlucht (dreamflight) with the fairy and troll realms
@@Ambermargaretha oh right that’s what it is called
Thanks for visiting it
Just promise to never call it dutch Disneyland again.
Thank you so much! ❤️🥰
My childhood lies in the talking thrashcan holle bolle gijs
That’s amazing. We’re dying to go back to Efteling soon
I’m going soon
Epic!! You’ll love it 🥰🤗😘
I’m sure I will
Definitely. Let us know if you have any questions 👍
Correction Amsterdam is disneyland de Efteling was there before Disneyland ;p
Haha very fair 🤗 have you been to Efteling? 🤔❤️
@@WyattandReyka i worked there as a carpenter on "De Droomvlucht" and the hotel so yes i been there ;p
Oh that’s awesome!!
Walt Disney propably did not visit Efteling. Disney and Efteling having close relations.
Awesome! We love the wholesome instead of competitive relationship they got going on 🥰🤗
Wrong title,,it is not a Dutch Disneyland.
Efteling was first and it is a completely different theme park!
Did you make it to the end of the video? We talk about that and ask y’all’s thoughts 🥰 thank you for watching!
I want to visit someday. Did you guys see any people of color on your visit? Important for this brown person to know.
You should totally visit it's amazing! :) And it's honestly been almost a year so we don't remember, but we don't think there were many... You should be fine though. Can any Dutch people respond to this question who have insight on this? Thanks for watching our little video, hope you have a splendid day! 🥰
Lol we have tons of non whites. And yes that includes our black brothers. We had several colonies and a lot of their descendants live here.
efTEling!
EFteling
Which one is it? Seems like everyone says it differently haha
The EFteling pronunciation would be more common, but nothing is really incorrect! 😃
@Geertmans if you're speaking Dutch, there's only one correct way. And that's the emphasis on the first syllable. Èfteling.
Efteling in 9 minutes is not possible. lol
I guess we’ll just have to come back soon 🥰🤗
ik heb er 2 jaar gewerkt, ik kom er nooit meer😒😒😂😂
Oh really?! Haha yeah I get it. I worked at little Caesars for multiple years and cannot stand their pizza now hahaha
@@WyattandReyka I can imagine that😂
A Little fact Efteling started in 1952, the first Disneyland started in 1955 so why could this be a Dutch Disneyland 😂
Most folks know Disneyland and the double “D” sound is quite catchy so we put it in the title. Didn’t mean any offence! We love Efteling and hope to bring family back to explore soon 🥰
as am dutch i'll just say that it's pronounced as "ef-te l ing" and not "eftelling", just saying (no hate) but for the rest its a great video!
No worries! Thank you for the help 🥰 where in the Netherlands are you from??
@@WyattandReyka Your welcome and i'm from Noord-Brabant!
Eftelling
Oh is it two “L”s? 🤔
He did not visit the efteling
That’s what we think too. No proof, and if he did, some witnesses or photos would probably exist. Still fun to think about though 🤗
Whahah wat kunnen mensen hier rare commentaar geven 90% is uit de duim gezogen. Feit is efteling is stuk ouder dan disneyland feit is ook dat mr disney bij de efteling is geweest maar mr disney is bij meer parken geweest in europa
What strange comments people can make here, 90% is made up. The fact is that Efteling is a lot older than Disneyland. The fact is that Mr. Disney has been to Efteling, but Mr. Disney has been to more parks in Europe
Disney is nooit in de Efteling geweest. Stop pushing this urban myth. And Efteling sport & recreation park started in the early 1920's. A playground was added in the late 1930's. The Fairytale Forest opened in 1952 (a year after Disney visited the Dutch studios doing the Dutch versions of the movies). The (1900-ish) steam carrousel was permanently added in 1956.
@@rmyikzelf5604 doe je onderzoek beter kleine kut kleuter. Ga naar school
Very fun to read what everyone thinks about this. Seems like kind of a polarizing subject so we hope we didn’t upset anyone. We just find it interesting 🤗
Typical, calling "De Efteling" "Dutch Disneyland"... People naming it that are certainly not the vast majority of the Dutch, but mostly foreign visitors from beyond the pond. 👴🤔🤨
May I remind you that "De Efteling" preceded the mere existence of the concept "Disneyland", and not proven, but highly likely was the very one inspiration to Walt Disney for his "Disneylands".
Thus, historically and overall correct would be naming Walt Disney's "Disneylands" "Disney's Eftelings".👴🧐😎
Did you finish the vlog? We talk about this at the end 🥰
@@WyattandReyka No I didn't.
To humor you, I once again was disappointed by the ever abundance US bias.
So... Yes, I just did go to the very end, the dying moments.👴😏
Sure enough in these seconds you touched the subject.... and let it go... dying.👴🤔🤨
@@WyattandReyka Look, I can't and will not blame you for having lack of historical awareness.
Just look at the history of the US! It has not even reached the toddler level yet.
(Yea, yea, I know I'm exaggerating a huge lot, but am not being off that far if you think of it.)👴🤷♂
Pardoes
Pardoes is awesome!!
F telling?😂
Hahaha oops. We always mispronounce stuff lol
Very good. But you'd better learn how to pronounce Efteling......Oh, I think you did....
Hahaha we always seem to begin pronouncing the place wrong and getting it right over time as we hear it spoken more… thanks for watching! 🥰
Disneyland is an Amercan Efteling rather....
Or both?! 🤔
Nice, but... please stop calling Efteling the Dutch Disneyland! Because:
1) It's better. Especially better than the park in Paris with its rude staff and overdue maintenance.
2) It's older. So you should call Disneyland the American Efteling 😊
Hi there 😊 We absolutely love Efteling and understand that it’s older and different than Disney. Because Disney is more well known though, at least globally, we wanted to put dutch Disneyland in the title to help folks understand, at a glance, what Efteling is. We think it’ll get more folks interested in such an AMAZING, lesser known place.
Sorry if it upset you that we called it that ❤️
Its so dump that people cal it duch Disneyland its not owned bye Disneyland they cal it likw that kuzz people it other countries know Disneyland better becose its huge but efteling is so much better ! Its my own opinion wye would u pay 500 dollars fore that by efteling u kan but it fore 42 dollars
Hi there! No disrespect to Efteling intended! If it helps, by all means you can start calling Disneyland the “American Efteling!”
You’re totally right tho, the only reason we use that name is because Disneyland is more famous and so people will *sorta* know what Efteling is about
And you’re also right, I’d happily go to Efteling 10 times than go to Disneyland once hahaha
Not 'many people' call it Dutch Disneyland. Some influencers do, and you're copying them. And it's fucking annoying.
Can you explain why it’s so bad to call it “dutch disneyland?”
Is it because it was built first? Because it’s different than Disneyland?
We’re genuinely just struggling to understand why this is so bad as after visiting both they’re so similar in so many ways. Also, we feel like having the brand “Dutch Disneyland” will intrigue a lot of foreigners who will spend money and bring more visitors to Efteling!
Please clear this up for us 🙏
Never ever again compare this park with Disney. This is totally non related, other then some fairy tales.
We personally noticed lots of similarities between the parks! Of course, we understand your love of Efteling and we love it too. Cannot wait to go back.
Where are you from??
Please don't call it Dutch Disneyland
We notice this theme in the comments. May we ask why we shouldn’t call it Dutch Disneyland?? It wouldn’t bother us as Americans if you call Disneyland the “American Efteling” 🤔
am i the only one who hates how they say efteling?
Dang sorry to annoy you, mate. Is it incorrect pronunciation or just our voices? Lol
The Efteling is NOT Disneyland. Please stop comparing it with that disgracefull American company.
Oops! Our apologies. No offense intended 🥰 Are you from the Netherlands?
