- Disneyland has a complicated history with selling toy guns. Because of laws that were enacted Disneyland tried to distance themselves from toy gun sales. But, there are a few old remnants of gun sales still in the park. Lets take a deeper look at guns and Disneyland.

I just want to tell you how much you brighten my day and make me feel a little bit happier every time you take a moment to tell your viewers that they are amazing. I was having a really rough day last Friday (or was it Monday?) and was watching your Pirates boutique secrets video and you said something similar and it immediately made me feel a little bit better!
Only this video and videos by this author has disabled mouse control. All other videos work fine by other authors though I do like what I've seen.
@@kylehill3643 huh?
The shooting gallery holds a special place in my heart. I remember going there with my dad as a little girl and he taught me how to hold the gun and aim at the targets. We had so much fun. If they ever take that attraction out, it will break my heart. If we're ever at the park at the same time, Chris, we should have a contest. ;)
Hello good Sir, I still have my cap gun from Pirates of the Caribbean.
My son has the gun the shoots noise and a light that if you shine it up close says, "pirates of the Caribbean""
How cool would it be if Disney could develop a Star Wars themed shooting gallery for Galaxy's Edge? But instead of rifles they would use blasters. That would be so awesome.
Such an awesome idea
When I work as a security officer at Disneyland in 2002, I loved working on Tom Sawyer's Island because I would be able to dress up in the old US Calvary uniform (gold shiny US belt buckle and all) which included an old 38/357 Smith and Wesson prop revolver on my hip in a leather holster. It was the only costume in Disneyland that had a gun (minus the Jungle Cruise but the skippers didn't get to wear it)! Likewise, if you were able to work security on Main Street USA, you got to dress up as an old English "Bobby" from England and just like on the island, this was the only costume where the officer could wear a REAL Billy Club! There was only one officer per shift (two in total a day) that were allowed to work each one of those locations so you can imagine how highly sought after these assignments were. I'm so lucky that I got to experience this! Good times!
That’s amazing!! 💚💙
Love the shooting range! It's definitely one of the more underrated Disneyland attractions. I just can't get enough of the cute little details all throughout the gallery!
2:50 I don't think he knows he has a gold coin in there.
I’ve still got my Pirates cap gun! The pistol with 2 shots. I love it! I had no idea they stopped selling them, but it makes sense.
My youngest actually got that Zurg Popper on our top last month! It’s actually pretty cool.
Great video! I grew up with the shooting gallery. Really glad to have it focused on so much!
I cannot imagine repainting every night lol
Knott's Berry Farm still sells toy guns. Thanks for another great watch.....
Can you do a video on souvenirs please ? Couldn’t decide on my trip and left with nothing 😅😢😮💨
: This was a very interesting episode about guns at Disneyland.
Here's a quick fun fact about Tom Sawyer's Island. There's a fort on Tom Sawyer's Island and it's called Fort Wilderness. I remember when I was younger (in the 60's) they had rifles sticking out of the fort (embrasures) so you could protect the fort from the Indians. The guns made a sound similar to the sound that you would hear coming from the guns at the Frontierland Shootin Exposition. Of course like everything else the rifles are no longer there. FYI. 🐢 😀 🐢 👍
I remember them. I could barely see out the little windows
@@jeffmixson412: Outstanding Jeff. Every time we went to Tom Sawyer's Island I headed right to the fort so I could shoot the rifles. The fort was all the way to the back of the island. I would take off from my parents but they knew exactly where I was going. LOL. 🐢 😀 🐢 👍
I used to have one of those Pirate revolvers it was wood and metal. We got it at Disneyland. But they don’t sell them anymore for obvious reasons
We like doing this after dark! It's cool how everything lights up.
I LOVE YOU GUYS. It's amazing how much knowledge you have. I learn something new everyday.
Thank you, Chris. I'm in a really confused and scary place right now. I needed the "You're Awesome" talk today. 👍
You are amazing. 💙💚
You got this my dude!
@@provostparkpass Really, thank you.
@@l4stclip I really appreciate it.
I needed it as well brother. With tears in my eyes and by the grace of God, we’ll make it through.
It looks like the train has an engine on both sides, but whichever is the caboose side, it just stays down. Pretty neat detail!
When we were kids, my sister & I got wooden pirate guns in the Pirates of the Caribbean shop in WDW. If I remember correctly, they did have a bit of metal on them & I believe the end of barrel where the bullet would come out on a real gun was painted orange to show it was fake.
Chris, you, Amanda, Miles, and the rest of your crew are pretty awesome too! :D
chris telling us we're amazing hit differently today, felt like i needed to hear that. had a rough week
its not complicated... Disney is just Woke... Walt would HATE Disney now.
Thanks for the encouragement! Oh and by the way I'm watching this at work.... WHAAAAAAT? LOL
I still have the Disneyland guns my Dad bought me when I was a kid. Probably collectables now. My favorite is the Pirate musket. I wonder does Disney World still have them??
What about pointing with your lips??? Lol...I am Navajo Indian & my wife is Filipina. It is amazing that both our cultures are worlds apart, yet we share that trait...lol. I wonder what other cultures do that as well??? Lol.
My Dad worked for Carnation company, because Carnation has a store on Main Street, we had a endless supply of ticket books with entry. No one in my family used the C ticket so I used them for the shooting gallery in the 70’s. Yes they shot real Steel BB’s. I had a blast there and learned how to shoot. Great memories.
Can I apologize to everyone for Monday. I got to the park around 840ish.. and I went to check the shooting expo if it was free on any of the rifles. To my suprise,, most were still free! I played one rifle then got ready to turn around to tell others around it was free!! But... uh... my daughter went around and was shooting all the ones that were left. I didn't have the heart to stop her.
Sorry
Hi Chris! I absolutely love your videos! ❤️❤️❤️
Here's a video idea... show us as many of the film-used movie props as you can that are on display in the park. I know of the ones from Beauty and the Beast, as well as the truck from Indiana Jones and even the two locomotives from Hot Lead and Cold Feet. But there must be more than that....
i'm sure lots of people know this... but at the frontier land shooting gallery, the staff loads up all the guns with free play before opening... so if you get there first thing in the morning, you can shoot for free... no 50¢ needed
An amazing video like always, can you do a video about the history of Disneyland ghost sightings
Interesting tidbit about toy guns in Disney parks - Back in 2019 my wife and I celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary in the parks. It was our first time staying at either Disneyland Hotel or the Grand Californian Hotel. We bounded each day with different outfits (Ariel & Sebastian, Wendy & Peter, Han & Leia, and Donald & Daisy). For my Han bounding outfit, I had a blaster holster, security near Disneyland Hotel would not let me through with the holster. I had no blaster, just the Han holster, but they said "nope." We tried again at the GCH entrance and they luckily let me through. I remember thinking, it is just a holster, WHY can't I wear it?! I'm glad I was able to pull it off. We have some epic photos from those days of bounding.
It's simple..I love your uplifting thoughts you put out there Chris..I just want to hug you if I ever meet you..
Chris, you are amazing. In case nobody told you today. Thank you for sharing these wonderful videos with us.
I used to have a laser gun from the Buzz Lightyear ride. I have no idea what I did with it or where it is now, but I remember having fun with it!
It feels illegal to be this early
You know.... I know you are talking to everybody but when you talk to us for some reason it makes me feel special. I feel like you are a modern day Mr. Rogers. I feel like you honestly believe there is good in anyone. Thank you.
I just subscribed because of this learning experience you provided! No, really. I failed my Rifle Shooting merit badge when I was 12 because I didn't know anything about matching the sites and only used the rear site, bro.
You're a good man Mr Provost
Dang!! Nice shootin, Tex!! Loved this! When I was itty bitty, I remember begging my dad to shoot so I could watch the fun animations. Omg, when you were explaining the SE challenge and said, "Shoot the stable," there was an adorable hidden cactus Mickey in the shot. 😍
not going to lie. I needed that little pep talk at the end of the video today 🥺 thank you for always being so kind!
I remember in the very early nineties. My family went to Disneyland. My baby brother was three. We went on the pirates ride and as we got out went into the pirates store. They had those would and teal pirate guns. He got one and it really was neat. Later going in the same store I was sad to see them all gone. Good times.
Are you at the park today? I'm looking for you partner
Thanks, Chris! We love the videos! Keep them coming!
BTW: We recently found a gun on the raft over to Pirates’ Liar.
Whoa!!! I’ll have to look for it. 💚💙💚💙
I absolutely LOVED my wooden, Pirates Of The Caribbean blunderbuss. Dual cocking action... popped the old, rolled, paper caps by the dozen. Good times.
Yep, that's what I did too. Those and the snap pops.
They should've put red tips on the guns.
We love the Shooting Expedition. Every time we go to Disneyland it is a must do :)
It’s a classic for sure. 💚💙
Hi Miles, Amanda, Mema, and Necktie guy,
Sometime ago you asked for suggestions on attractions to visit. And today your discussing Disney Guns. So for My Miles to meet REAL SUPERHEROES, REAL PIRATES, & REAL ARMAMENTS, could you do a tour and deep dive of the USS Midway in San Diego? If possible produce it for Memorial Day week/end. 5/31/22.
Maybe even MilesCam. OR BETTER YET MMMM. Miles Midway Memorial Matriculation.🤯😃
Jim
But did you know the REAL reason why cast members originally used the two finger point was because Walt would quite often have a cigar in his hand and when he would point to something, it would always be with his two fingers on each side of his cigar. Once Walt passed away this became an homage to him. And if you didn't know, now you know. 🙂
You and your family Are special and amazing! Thank you for a great video! AGAIN!!!!
The guns that are at the Shooting Exibition are actual firearms. They were made by Thompson/Center and are the Hawken model muzzleloader. They have been modified to be used in the arcade, but they still look quite original.
As a kid in the park in the 80s those wood and metal real life-looking Davey Crockett guns were EVERYTHING. Still got my large pistol! And i swear we were allowed INSIDE Fort Wilderness on Tom Sawyer Island. Sad to always see it closed off today. Aloha and Appreciation for Sharing ALL the Magic
Another good one! I had to take a break from the stationary bike (getting ready for The Big Disneyland Trip), to comment. When I watched The Mickey Mouse Club everyday (no, not the newer one. The ORIGINAL one), Mattel was a big sponsor, so they sold the latest and best toy guns. Mattel six-shooters, Derringers, lever action rifles, and even nice leather holsters for them. And then the ones that shot the Greenie Stick-em caps, making them "real" six-shooters. Even the Mattell burp gun, which you cranked up to tighten the spring. I had one, which was rare, since my family defined poor. Now, a certain segment of society would die of horror. Moving on to the shooting gallery... One day back in the Army --the OLD Army-- I was shocked to find out that I was able to hit a target (about torso sized) at 1,000 meters, and previous to that training I had NO experience with firearms. And no, no scope. Couldn't do that now. Part of my Army training incorporated shooting a rifle from the hip using a BB gun and practicing until we could repeatedly shoot a half-dollar sized disk thrown into the air.
My Dad worked at Disneyland, and he remembered how the targets had to be painted each night.
My family and I LOVE your videos! You have such a sweet family and we love how you share those things you love with us. We love Disneyland too, we live in Idaho and don't get to go super often. So we watch your channel in order to keep the magic of Disney alive and well with us! I was trying to think of a Disney pun to include with this comment, but there are so Minnie good ones!
The shooting gallery is dear to my heart, first on (Main Street USA) then when it moved to (Adventureland) every time my mother and father would take me to Disneyland, that's one of the first places I would visit. I would stay there and shoot for as long as my parents were allowed. Then head over to Davy Crockett Frontier Arcade and again play there for as long as allowed, trying on all costumes trying to be like Fess Parker. To this day I have an old Davy Crockett belt, coon skin hat, mug, very old piece pipe, possible bag w/fringe, etc.Thanks for the memories
Thanks Chris for the great video and pick-me-up. I needed that buddy. You take care of that beautiful family of yours and cherish every moment. 👍👍👍
i also wanted to say a big THANK YOUUUUUUUUUUU for your positivity! i saw your IG story and yes yes yes to knowing that chivalry is not dead! Blessings to all of you :)
Shoot the rifles at W.D.W back in 1972, with steel balls and air pressure. How many cast members where casualties back then?
Thank you so much for the videos, you make my day any time I watch them. I have no idea when I'll make it back to Disneyland again, but I love to watch yours, and Ordinary Adventures, and Offhand Disney!
Pretty fancy shooting there "Tex"! You scare me a little your so good. Perhaps I better practice a little before I challenge you to a 25 round shoot off, where you see how many targets you can hit in the 25 rounds the fastest. Ok, maybe not the fastest but how many out of the 25 shots.....
Trivia gun for you. Did you know that the fort on Tom Sawyer Island, when you could go inside, you could go up into the towers, and they use to have rifles affixed to swivels that you could shoot the rifles. They had real sounding action when you would pull the trigger. Of course they took the rifles out a long time ago, even when you could still go in the fort, and up into the towers.
Again, thanks for the memories "Bob". Haha
I did the Exposition once. There are also the press penny & quarter machines for great souvenirs as well throughout the park. I had a pocket full of shiny pennies & quarters. LOL! Yep! that was a long time they did the repaint of those targets. They DID use a roller though.
True story… I was once sent back to my car to leave my Han Solo blaster keychain… obviously since it’s a keychain it’s pretty small, it’s about an inch and a half long and made out of resin… I’m all for safety but Disney loves to exaggerate to the point of ridiculousness 😑
Thanks for another video! We are going to be there in one week, for three days. Can’t wait! I am pretty sure since I’ve found your channel, I will be watching long after we are gone. Even if I wasn’t going to Disneyland, you have a way to turn my frown upside down!
Watch out you don’t get demonetized for talking about pew pews !!!!!! You tube does not like pew pews, but I do.
Ha ha ha
I remember getting a wood and metal flintlock rifle, a rubber Davey Crockett knife, and raccoon skin hat. Then getting to meet Davey Crockett a few minutes later.
Cool video. Always coming up with new and interesting material Chris. Go PPP!
The short stations aren't for kids (although they can use them). They are persons in wheelchairs. ADA compliancy.
Just a correction, I am a muzzleloader shooter, the rifle is a copy of a Hawken. If you look at butt of the gunstock, you will see it’s curved, rather than flat. With these types of stock, you actually put it as high you can on your ARM rather than shoulder. If you wondering why old timer shoot with their elbow in the air, it to keep the rifle level.
Chris, this is so fascinating! Your extensive research of Disneyland has really changed the way I view Disneyland as a whole today. I've only done the Frontierland Shooting Exposition once and it was really fun. I've played shooting galleries a lot when I was a kid going to the arcades. I have a better idea of how to hold the gun and I appreciate you showing me how to properly hold a gun. Your friend, Andrea is so beautiful and she holds the gun super well! You mentioned about Char, I have her as a friend on Instagram and she is so sweet. I love her to pieces. Love this channel so much
Remember, keep your finger off of the trigger until you are ready to fire. Don't want an accidental light discharge....😀
Mister provost. I must say, the little affirmations in your videos lately have been really awesome. Love what you do. Keep up the awesome work. And you are amazing too!
Only went to disney once but I loved this and will never forget this ride! People left alot of shots and quarters left and I played this maybe for 20 minutes
Don't forget about the brow bess (18th century guns) laying besides the wall of the fort in Frontierland.
Nice shooting! BTW, you should use your dominant eye to aim. For most people, it's the same side as the dominant hand. However, you can test it by making a small triangle out of both your hands and with both eyes open look at an object through the triangle, then bring your hands to one your eyes while still staring at the object. Whichever eye you bring it to naturally is your dominant eye.
Absolutely fantastic video, what great history with the toy guns at Disneyland. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips on how to hold a gun properly. Now I might just have to go try it out next time I'm at Disneyland! 😁And you are a good shot! Almost too good! Lol
Hmmm, Galaxies Edge has rifles in the queue to Rise of the Resistance. I also believe I may have seen one on display (not for sale) in the First Order store when it first opened. Not sure if it's there now.
Nice shooting Chris! I just wanted to say how amazing your videos are and how they brighten up my day. Your puns are the best!!
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Thank you for the positive thoughts, Going thru a rough patch and I need all the upbeat thoughts I can get. Keep the videos coming!
I haven’t been on the island in such a long time, matter of fact I haven’t been on it since it was still called Tom Sawyer’s Island, does anyone know if they still have that fortress area where you could shoot toy rifles?
Cheis, I want you to know that I hit like on every one of your videos BEFORE I even watch them. I haven't been let down yet!
I read a paper the other day called How Theme Park Rides Adapted the Shooting Gallery, really interesting video
Also..once again..please do a green water system video..lots of opertunities for you to go..whaaaaat..
My mom told me when they first opened this shooting gallery...They used real bullets...lol
I love the part where he says You Are Awesome! Thank you, Chris, for cheering people up!
hi i was wondering if you guys could do a video on making dining reservations both on the app and the website? i’ve been trying to figure it out to get ready for my trip in july but it’s very confusing and it won’t let me see different times?
im not trying to reserve for july yet but i was just trying to do a practice run but it’s very confusing. can you just give a bit of a tutorial?
also i was wondering if it’s different for charecter dining? we are going for my friends birthday and i wanted to plan something special
I had a tour guide tell me that originally when the guns shot metal pellets that they weren't chained down. Mischievous children would shoot other guests causing a ruckus. Walt had them chained down after that.
So they can make the engine change every time but they can’t fix the Indy Doors. 🤔😂😂
Back in the day, you could use your camera’s flash cube and every target would light up - it was awesome
We have the same glasses.
love the positivity! and you're awesome too! us CM's love you guests too! especially your puns!
Not guns, but I think it's worth mentioning that along the cue for the Indiana Jones ride, there's a few casings/cartridges sitting on top of the furniture in an enclosed area.
I remember the shooting gallery with the metal pellets and they would bounce off the metal targets and fly back and hit me in the face. Those were the days!
In the many, many, MANY times I've been to Disneyland, I've never been to Tom Sawyer Island, never had a Dole whip, and never done the Shooting Exposition! To quote Chris: "Whaaaaaat??" I need to do all three when I go in a few months! Thanks for the wholesome content!
I went to Tom Sawyers island for the first time during my most recent visit. And who do I bump into on the island? Chris and Amanda, of course.
It is definitely worth the visit.
Oh, the shooting gallery and a dole whip is also a must.
Dole whip is a must!
I still have the wooden and metal cap gun i got at Pirates of the Caribbean as a kid in the 80s, and use it in my Renaissance faire costumes to this day.
I’m right handed as well, but I can only shoot left handed which makes NO sense at all.
You know would have been great to have worked in what happened to Woody's gun on this video 😳🤔
I have about 15 orange tip toy gun from Disney from the trading post
Dang! Going to have to try this next time. I was able to do all the targets minus the train. - Zoe
Didn't they get rid of all the bubble guns at Disneyland and change them to bubble wands?
Try using your dominant eye while keeping both eyes open, speed will increase
