This was really cool Adam. I liked how the original carousel that Walt Disney took his kids and where he got his idea for his theme park is still there today. Now that was unexpected.
That is my old stopping ground. I was born in Burbank California in 1958 .I cannot tell you how many times I've been to that area and did not know that was was going to be a Disney park. Cool Video :-)
How incredibly RAD..so cool u found the old map..man Walt was a pure genius had visions as a kid and into his life made it all happen just proves dreams do come true. 😎Really enjoyed this Woo
Thanks for uploading this. My grandma died. When I was a child we had probably 8-10 houses of family we'd visit in Louisville Kentucky. We'd drive there 6 times a year from Detroit Michigan. Now since my grandma passed a few months back we've been coming down here to clear out her house. The house is almost cleared. Also there's no one left living in Kentucky. This Sunday morning I sit here sad by myself waiting to go back to Detroit. Knowing there's nothing left in kentucky to come down here anymore. Man I feel empty. Sorry if this is too much info. But I had to let it out. Thanks Adam your videos not only inspire me put bring some semblance of joy to my life when things get tough. Thanks for uploading again your more than appreciated.
Wow, Mickey Mouse Park would have been tidy, and clean, and different, and TINY! What a blessing it has been that Burbank denied Disney's request! This is something I had never heard about. Thank you, Adam!
Wow! I had no idea. Thanks for sharing this. Nice blue Mickey shirt "Woo". I really enjoy hearing about the origins, and early beginnings of Disneyland, the construction etc. I've seen some old footage of Walt running his railroad. From that to building The happiest place on earth! What a visionary he was. Two Thumbz !!
As a valley native I'm always surprised that large and very valuable parcel of land has not been developed, its almost like its sacred ground. Thanks for the Tour Adam!
Walt Disney was such a visionary. While you were walking around and sharing the predisneyland story I was trying to imagine what could have been. I like the thought of a Mickey Mouse park. Found out a lot that did not know before. I believe that things happen for a reason and work out for a reason. Thank you for sharing this. Made my day better. Really needed this. God bless you
Love these movie/theme park videos. Makes me want to get back to LA sooner! If I could move there, with all that movie history on your doorstep I'd be there in an instant. Admittedly where I live has a fair bit of film history as Pinewood is about 15 miles away, Leevesden isn't far either. But you have the weather and ALL the big studios!!
I love this story. I have never been to Disney parks, but I bet if you listen, you can hear his laughter and joy, in the wind. Thank you, Adam. Your dedication to and love of Disney, is a great thing. I look forward to your vids. You would make a great uncle or dad. :) Hugs from Texas.
Thanks the memories flowed into my head. As a lad my grand parents took me to Griffith park and remembered reach out of one of those brass rings.. got one 😊
Nice Adam, thank you! I always love it when you do these back stories and a nice way to start a Sunday. This one had some good vibes, kinda looked liked you enjoyed the meander as well. Again, thank you, stay sane!
My little girl runs across the living room and jumps in front of the tv each time I mention your name. She is almost 2. It is absolutely fantastic to me!
I can see it in my mind, all lit up at night, and the music wafting about. I caught a brass ring once at the carousel from the SF Zoo. I wish I knew where that was. Sweet stories. 💚
That was really cool, Adam. They never really mention the “original”, original plan for “Mickey Mouse Park” in any detail, even to cast members. Nice work! Thank you.👍🏼🤘🏼😎
That was so awesome Adam! Thank you for taking us along! A great video indeed and a awesome what if definitely would have been a different experience. Thank you for all you do!!
So cool to know. I watched a movie a while back about how Walt went from living on the street to Disneyland. Very interesting and informative. He was an amazing man, accomplishing so much, and making so many people happy.
Good morning Adam, this was awesome to learn about! It is always interesting to learn the history behind the beginning. I wonder if Diane remembers how she grabbed the gold rings. Have enjoyed watching this with you. Thanks for bringing us along!
Hi Adam, awesome vlog at the original location of Disneyland! I think I have seen that pretty merry go round in a classic tv show! Great place for filming and enjoying the Merry go round! stay well and safe!
Wow! What a wonderful vlog Adam. Thank you for putting so much effort into this, while providing never before seen insight in terms of the original property plans and tour of where it all began. I loved the way you layered it beginning with Griffith Park, then the Los Angeles Live Steamers Railroad Museum, and finally the property itself. Well done Adam. Thanks again, and I'll catch you on the next vlog. Arthur Childs, Oak Harbor, WA. :)
Great explanation of the 'tour' of the original Mickey Mouse Land/Disneylandia, etc. We enjoy your knowledge of the history of all things Disney. Thanks for posting.
I enjoyed this, love the historical facts. I remember around 1959-60? (I was still in grade school) that my dad told me he was offered to buy stock in Disneyland. It was $1 a share. Walt needed cash to move forward. We did go as a family a few years later and now I realize that was the early years of Disneyland. We went cross-country on a train from Wisconsin. Had sleeping cars....didn't get one wink of shuteye. Great memory!!!
Love it how Walt was able to design and build Disneyland in 10ish years when now in 2020 it takes some companies MANY years to make small corporate decisions.
@@susan16k97 The Imagineering Story series on Disney Plus is such a great tribute to these amazing men and women. Watching how imagineering has evolved was really intriguing.
Isn't that just like Walt though - denied for a small park, so he dreams even bigger. And from that realized dream came an even bigger dream of the park in Florida. What an inspiration that man was - and still is.
I cannot help but think that if MICKEY MOUSE PARK had been approved by Burbank, the whole theme park world would be different. It would have been a small theme park that would have died out in the mid 70s or earlier and never would have spawned an idea for a bigger park in Florida. Incorporating the castle mid-park, and other features that have allowed it to morph internally over the years (to keep the park thriving with current content), is what keeps the parks aive to this current day. I will be wise to remember that when one door closes... another one opens. LOVED THIS VLOG Adam!! Keep up the amazing content!
Adam....I love these types of history lessons you give us. How about a history lesson on the original layout of the Disneyland Hotel and its distance from the park...the road that one used to be able to drive on that is now occupied by Downtown Disney.
Awesome video as usual Adam. I have never been to the original site of Mickey Mouse park but hope to get out there soon. Thanks for making this video buddy stay safe out there.
I remember as a kid the carousel at Dollywood used to do the brass ring thing as well. All the kids would try to get the horses on the outside of the carousel so they could try to get a ring.
I have also been inside the Disney studios, and Animation building many of times, because I have an aunt who works in the animation building, and I even got to see Walt's original office, and the water tower, which was originally with Water but is now empty.
The next time you're out there you should stop at the Tam O'Shanter on Los Feliz Blvd. Walt would eat there at lunch regularly and draw. You can see the strong influence of the restaurant decor in Snow White. Side note, on Riverside Dr. just past the Disney studios the first street of "homes" behind the studio are actually all owned by the studio. Great work Adam!
That's a very small property! Would have been interesting to see how he would have fitted it all in. How cool to be a fly on the wall at the creator's meetings.
Liking is new series so far.think it gonna be an educational one.learned some new things about disney. Thanks for the info keep up the great work my friend.
My oh my...you certainly do find a wealth of information when it come to historic Disney and Hollywood! I think I’m gonna like it here Adam!! Lol have a great day...Theresa NJ
Karen Ritter we caught our brass rings back in the 1950s at Rockaway Beach, NY. Also, every so often there would be a gold ring and if you received that you got a free ride. Memories.
Thanks for this video. Fantastic bit of Disney nerd history. I've not seen any other videos on this part of the Disney Land back story. two thumbs up to you Mr Woo.
Hey Adam The thing I notice most at Disneyland today compared to the first time I visited in 1971 . The Trees and Gardens . The Place was a little barren back then . So Lush with lots of places you can find Shade to take a break from the Sun . Wish Walt could see it now . Tks for the lesson my Friend . Stay Safe
Did anyone else see Mickey come out of the building at the 3:27 Min. mark? Now we know where Mickey mouse descendants live. :)
Go back to 3: 25 and watch in the lower-left corner.
And then again at the 5:50 mark . Really wanted to be on camera more than once
@@TheDailyWoo do not think you are alone Rat Security was on to you!
Think that might have been Chip. 😜😜
Yep, not a Mickey but a Ratty 😁👍
Another fine job Adam. Thank You for bringing the history of Walt Disney to light.
Wooooo!! Loving this walk through Walt’s start 🎡🎢🎠🏰 huge fan Adam!! Thank you for telling us the story through your perspective!
This was really cool Adam. I liked how the original carousel that Walt Disney took his kids and where he got his idea for his theme park is still there today. Now that was unexpected.
I did a paper on Disney Land and Walt Disney last semester. Thank you for showing us this Adam. I really enjoy your vlogs.
Adam thank you for sharing a small part of your life with us. Especially at this time that it is very difficult to go out and do and see things.
That is my old stopping ground.
I was born in Burbank California in 1958
.I cannot tell you how many times I've been to that area and did not know that was was going to be a Disney park.
Cool Video :-)
My day isn't complete until I hear you say "Shall You"🙂
Or until he says, "vlog over"...

Jeez, 8 decades ago and the seed where the idea of Disneyland came from. Pretty incredible!
It’s very fascinating to think about
I like it when he talks to bigthefoot it never gets old keep it up Adam!
They are air fresheners you can get on Amazon.
Thanks the memories flowed into my head. As a lad my grand parents took me to Griffith park and remembered reach out of one of those brass rings.. got one 😊

Once again, super interesting and informative. Love the Disney history!!! ❤️💕❤️
Thank you, Adam. Your videos have been a great distraction to help lift my spirits, especially your So Cal vids.
Excellent history and fun to imagine what could have been!
I watched the Defunctland video about Beverly Children's Park and the story behind Mickey Mouse Park, so this was really cool to see!
There's something very satisfying about seeing those big, Michael Graves buildings next to complete desert
That was so awesome Adam! Thank you for taking us along! A great video indeed and a awesome what if definitely would have been a different experience. Thank you for all you do!!

You’re an excellent tour guide Adam 🙂
Adam the Woo. Tou are really working it. Love how your trying to make the currently unseen visable.
Wow. Been to the park. On the trains. Passed by for many years...and I had no clue. Thank you for this bit of history! You rock !
Always wanted to see a video on this! Thanks Adam!
I'm sure glad Walt listened when Gene Autry suggested he purchase land in Anaheim.
I remember the great Huell Howser did a segment there! At merry go around. Thanks for the memories! 🕺🎊🤟
Good morning Adam, this was awesome to learn about! It is always interesting to learn the history behind the beginning. I wonder if Diane remembers how she grabbed the gold rings. Have enjoyed watching this with you. Thanks for bringing us along!

Great vlog Adam. Really enjoyed the history of Disneyland. Thank you for your hard work over the years
I really enjoyed this vlog, love to hear about any thing Disney and Walt’s history. ❤️

So glad that original carousel is still in operation, I love looking back on history and how things evolved. Great video Adam
Love it how Walt was able to design and build Disneyland in 10ish years when now in 2020 it takes some companies MANY years to make small corporate decisions.
Walt was a magical man. Every time we go back to film for our channel, we marvel at how incredible the original rides and concepts were.
Mad to think that he built Disneyland in 1 calendar year too!
That would never happen these days...
And he hired incredibly talented people to carry out his vision.
@@susan16k97 That is without a doubt, some incredibly talented people created a vision that is still being imagineered to this day
@@susan16k97 The Imagineering Story series on Disney Plus is such a great tribute to these amazing men and women. Watching how imagineering has evolved was really intriguing.
I didn't know any of this, Adam. Great video!
Excited to see what you and Sean have planned. The two BEST at Filming Locations! Travel safe!
ONE MAN'S DREAM CAME TO LIFE AND MADE THE WORLD'S DREAM COME TO LIFE ..... THANK YOU WALT!!!
I have a feeling if Adam becomes a billionaire, he will be the next Walt Disney. At least my mind hopes that happens.
I do feel like Walt Disney is slowly being removed from the Park!
Thank you for keeping us entertained in these times! Keep on making your videos!
Isn't that just like Walt though - denied for a small park, so he dreams even bigger. And from that realized dream came an even bigger dream of the park in Florida. What an inspiration that man was - and still is.
Love the rat that ran by as you were showing the carousel 😂😂😂
Great video, Adam. Love the history of Disney.
Very cool Adam. I Love the walk thru Disney History.
Great video. One of your all time best.
Santa Cruz Boardwalk still has the carousel with the rings that you can grab & toss, it’s so cool.
It is great to get a history lesson. Facts we really did not know. Great work Adam.
Glad you enjoyed it
Yes, it's so cool to see the beginning iterations of what would morph into the Disneyland we know today.
@@TheDailyWoo I lived in Anaheim for 55 years & did not know most of this
Another great history lesson on Disneyland. Well done Adam 👍🏻

Fascinating! Thanks for the history!
Caught brass ring on carousel at Seabreeze in Rochester N.Y all the time when I was a kid in the 1960s.
Awesome !
Karen, did you ever go to Roseland in Canandaigua? That was my childhood park in the 70's.
Karen Ritter we caught our brass rings back in the 1950s at Rockaway Beach, NY. Also, every so often there would be a gold ring and if you received that you got a free ride. Memories.
Carole Flynn yes same for us.
Nowadays some would break finger and open a lawsuit on the carousel.
Thanks for this video. Fantastic bit of Disney nerd history. I've not seen any other videos on this part of the Disney Land back story. two thumbs up to you Mr Woo.
Must go see Griffith Park now...thank you Mr. Woo😀
