- From ancient relics to intriguing antiques, we'll reveal their estimated ages and unravel the fascinating myths, legends, and conflicting stories surrounding their histories. Some of these items may have caught your eye before, while others likely slipped right past you, UNNOTICED. Discover the secrets behind these treasures and learn how they found their way into the heart of Disneyland. Don't miss out on this captivating journey through Disneyland's unexplored past!
Disneyland shouldn’t be a museum BUT I don’t think Walt knew it was going to explode into popularity the way it did. At this point Disneyland is pretty much a sacred American icon, so in that case Disneyland definitely works like a museum. I think Disney’s done a good job respecting that paradoxical balance. If you’re a super nerd, you appreciate the quirky outdated stuff, if you’re a layman Disney fan, you too enjoy the park.
Well Said! ❤️
We’re just ignore how Disney has wokeified many attractions such as splash, Mountain and Pirates of the Caribbean.
No one else on the internet or within the Walt Disney corporation is making content with this level of detail, editing, and most importantly, storytelling.
Thank You So Much ❤️
Thanks For Your Awesome Videos.!
🙏😁💞
Offhand Disney is Great Too.

First line "Disneyland is officially old and that's a great thing." Hit me because I just had a birthday and I was born the year Disneyland opened, lol. I grew up loving it. Thanks for the memories and pointing out great facts!
Is that your pic Viv?
This was very informative . . . and entertaining. When a theme park is nearly 70 years, it's not surprising that Disneyland is nearly a museum.
By the way, have you ever thought about visiting the Tokyo Disneyland Resort? I think Tokyo DisneySea would blow your mind.
This video had me with my jaw wide open. I knew there was some old stuff in the park, but to actually hear HOW old was amazing. Awesome facts that I’ll be able to tell my friends about when we go. Thanks Brickey!!
I used to think it was crazy that something like the opera house could sit there for 6 years without ever opening. Or like HM for 13 years or whatever. But now the Avangers building has been sitting there for 3 years already and if anything opens within 10 years I think it will be a miracle.
Who knew all these historic things were in our beloved Disneyland! I love Casey Jr and had no idea of its connection to the Carousel! Love all the fun facts you bring to your channel Brickey! Keep it up!
Dude...i just kind of stumbled on you maybe a few weeks ago at most...I'm now subscribed...
Fantastic facts! Thank you for not letting the truth get in the way of these great stories!
Loved this video! The Carrousel and Casey Jr. connection is amazing. Keep up the good work, can’t understand why people wouldn’t want to subscribe.
I wish you had a patreon, you have the best videos out of any channel on Disney… I actually think in general on TH-cam.

Great video Brickey. Man... I've been to D-Land hundreds of times, and I don't quite remember the petrified tree. Always great info... this channel should have a million subs!!
We'll get there!!! Thanks
What a fun history video ! It had Napoleonic cannons in it ! Who wouldn’t subscribe ! I like the stories of how they turned scrap metal into something useful and seeing pics of the old sawmill. Keep up the good work !
As a history teacher, you are killing it with these historical facts!
🙌 Thanks Brickey! We love ❤ these especially the architectural “dumpster dive” lore! Seeing the cute pine 🌲 tree reminded me of how much we enjoy the Disney topiary trees 🌳 would love any more info on those sometime ☺️
Came across your page today. Loved the video and subscribed! What about some of the trains on the Disneyland Railroad? Now, C.K. Holliday (Engine No. 1) and E.P. Ripley (Engine No. 2) were built by Disney (I think actually by RETLAW Enterprises in 1954-1955) but the Fred Gurley (Engine No. 3), Ernest S. Marsh (Engine No. 4) and Ward Kimball (Engine No. 5) were built in 1894, 1902 and 1925 respectively. Again great job and look forward to more videos. Have a great day!
Like I said, there are so many more. Let's see if this video does well and maybe there's a part two or three because I know I left some pieces on the table for future plans.
I look forward to a Part Two or Part Three!
Ah, 13 ways to enhance my visit! I love it! So many good details!
That Casey Jr. / King Arthur Carrousel connection is awesome! Thanks for sharing these cool historical facts, legends, and stories! 🤘There's always more to love about Disneyland. ❣
You bet!
Loved this video. Still so much to learn about Disneyland. So many things that a lot of us walk by and think "oh, how nice" and keep walking. Walt truly was all about the details.
I got to meet the guy that maintains the Welte on mainstreet! He was such a good guy, and told me so much about it. It was honestly, easily, one of my favorite moments at Disneyland. Meeting someone that is so enthusiastic about the craft. Someone that works on something so classic, that entertains people. Don't get me wrong, I love the rides, the shows, etc, but getting into the minds of the people that make it happen is the real magic.
That sounds amazing. I love talking to CMs and workers at the park who share theri passion.
Great episode! Lots of fact, quick and to the point. Love it
Thanks, Thomas!!!
One of your best videos!
Very cool Brickey! My favorite is the canary date palm. We have 6 left here at the ranch. They were planted in 1893❤️😎
It’s me, I’m that “Well actually guy” haha. I do love all these stories though and hope they are true. Thanks for a great video Brickey.
I appreciate your honesty 😂
All these quirky details help make Disneyland so special. The parks that came after, while fun and interesting, can't capture the same charm of Disneyland because these quirks can't be replicated. There is an atmosphere to Disneyland that is unique.
Number one was indeed a test wall/sample for those workers finishing Main Street. The large tan/white blocks on the right side give it away as they are the same blocks seen on the corners of Main Street Station.
Thank you, can't wait to debut my blouse on the 31st!
It will be the best you have ever looked at Disneyland!
@@HeyBrickey So true my friend! Scheduled to rain I bought a clear rain poncho, that I would never wear if not for showing off my blouse.
Great video Brickey. Could you do a video on the history/creation of the Plaza Inn at Disneyland? I heard somewhere that Lillian and Walt Disney picked out its antique decor back in the 50s.
Wow, Disneyland has lots of history I remember when the gas lamps were all painted gold for the 50th anniversary!
I think that’s my favorite episode you’ve ever done! (That I’ve seen😅) 🙌🤩🙏🤘✨
Thanks Buddy!!!
Another banger! So many facts….facts, galore❣️ How did I not know the lamps were actual gas lamps?Maybe that kernel of knowledge was stuck somewhere in the recesses of my mind. 😂 Regardless, you dropped the info hammer down! Cheers, Brickey 🎉
it's interesting that Walt wasn't really against reusing fairground rides, but he upped them and used them in a different context, like a real artist.
First!
Your intro reminds me of the quote from "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance" - "When the legend becomes fact, print the legend"

Wow! Had no idea about the carousel! Incredible how far it’s traveled enjoyed this a lot.
Excited for this one. I was cleaning and missed it! Ugh congrats JT
Just happened to get the alert! You are truly the champion of showing up right at the start!
@@JTKell awwww 😎🥰
What a great informative video! Thank you for sharing 🐭🔑🫶
This is PRECISELY the kind of content I LOVE!
2:34 I’m going with lost transition to Liberty Street.
PS: if reducing the current abandoned mall/ public swimming pool (aka Tomorrowland) could equal bringing Liberty Street to fruition? Hand me a shovel
I'll dig with you!
Very cool. I like history and these are things I never knew. Good going.
Another great video. So insightful. Can’t wait to see these items on my next visit. Thank you.
Great video! I’m a history and Disney nerd so I love combining them!
Anyone remember when the Penny Arcade was actually a penny arcade? I remember as a kid those big machines that you look inside and see flip card animations for a penny. Don’t know when they took those out.
I know what you're talking about. Last time I went to Disney on was either on 2020 or 2021. That's when I first saw those things, didn't know they took them out
I'm loving these deep dive videos they are truly inspiring. Keep up the good work.
Oddities like the fossil tree are what make Disneyland unique among the various Disney parks. I remember as a child thinking how cool it was. (I've been doing Disneyland since I was three.)
Great Video! Thank you so much! Love love love!
You do a great job! I love your videos
I love videos like this I learn so much history
A note about the petrified tree. The plaque is hopefully going to get updated. The tree is 34 million years old (still old) and was preserved by a volcano. At the time they didn’t understand the age or how the tree formed as well as they do today. Hopefully they will update it. great video and really enjoying your fresh take on Disney history.
That is absolutely fascinating!!!
I would also love to give you my respect for politely adding to the story of the video and giving more context in a helpful and friendly way. I wish more people were like you ❤️
@@HeyBrickey Thank you for the kind words and keep up the amazing videos.
Wish I could subscribe twice; this video was the best one yet!
Thanks Ken! Spent the evening working on researching a similar video that should show up in the next two weeks.
@@HeyBrickey Whether or not any of those histories are true, I gotta admit they make for some pretty darn good yarns!
I remember the Babs in Toyland walk through. I loved it!
This was a really fun and entertaining video! Well done 🎉
fun fact is that Disneys bench was originally located at the Griffith Park Merry-Go-Round in Los Angeles. one of my favorites locations at the park!
Why am I crying seeing Walt’s bench?? 😭
I knew that was you filming by the castle
I really enjoyed this video
Another fabulous learning experience, & don’t worry, I subscribed a long time ago.
At this point Disneyland will someday get some kind of historical protection
@HeyBrickey, I just started following your channel and I'm loving the content! Your videos are awesome. Could you please share what camera and setup you use for filming? Thanks!
SONY ZV-E1, SONY G 20-70, DJI MIC, Peter McKinnon Polar Pro ND Filter - I also shoot in raw and color grade which is rare for the mostly iphone genre of theme park TH-cam. Glad you notice the differences!
Hey, Wurlitzer building in north tonawanda NY is where the organ is manufactured.
Those cannons are probably the most valuable thing in Disneyland
I've never noticed that petrified tree.
So much going on in that particular area.
great
Fax or not these are awesome stories and I love to hear them told
2:30 I wonder if the disturbance in the brickwork is to draw the eye away from the go-away-greige service gate.
Good video
This was so interesting and FUN. Thank you for introducing me to a wonderful world I thought I knew. Makes me want to head out to Californie and visit every item on your list of curiosities and treasures.
(I really wish that fishing hole on Tom Sawyers Island was still there. Why don't folks think how their negligent behavior ruins it for the rest of us? I mean honestly, how could you just let your fish lie around & get stinky? It must have driven Walt crazy!)😉
Who knew Disneyland had their own Eternal Flames on those street lamps.
First visit was 1955 .. a cast member in the 1970s .. that said and hEARing this history , I've happily Subscribed !
The particular cannon in this video is from the late 1870s or 1880s, being an early breach loader likely an 80mm german field peice or Hotchkiss field gun
The opera house isn’t the oldest building on main st USA. It’s one of the newest. The lumber mill was the first thing built and it did stand where the opera house stands, but that building was dismantled and the opera house was built in its place.
😂
I knew there was a Timelapse of the mill getting dismantled and the front of opera house getting built in its place. The mill was attached to the front of the building that would eventually house the auditorium. (My memory was off. After the steel for the Main Street buildings, Opera House auditorium, and the Fantasyland show buildings went vertical it was decided to build a mill on site)

You forgot about two magnificent color woodcut prints by Gustave Bowman, and many old books and pottery all at Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel.
Comment
I've been subscribed to Hey Brickey from the start. Quit your shaming!😊 10:45
😂 thanks Bruce ❤️
You forgot one! No. 3 on the Disneyland Railroad, Fred Gurley was built in 1894. And is the oldest operation equipment used on the railroad.
Or I left some items for a part two!
@@HeyBrickey Excited!
I heard that they had Walt Disneys had cryogenically preserved in there somewhere. What do you think?
Urban legend, nothing more.
I'd like to just say I'm a subscriber. Just sayin.
ahhh nope on the canon with a sliding breech....unless it was redone somehow? it is not that old, most of that was not done till after the 1890's or later
It would be fascinating if verified documents could be found to prove, or, disprove, these items.
As a Cast member in the 1970s , I arrived early every day to "Disney University" , a library , to study ... I was fascinated with the little known facts !
10:34 heyyy as soon as I find a job and restart my career it's on my list... on that note, if you know of anyone looking for an IT generalist 😆
Do you know the history of the Wurlitzer store on Main Street? Did they sell organ? Pianos? Juke boxes?
I believe they sold pianos ! I vaguely remember going inside THEN getting some Fritos 😁!
This list is actually inaccurate, but they probably don't realize it because they don't have access to the ACTUAL second oldest thing in the park. The cast members who work in the vicinity are actually very quick to point out what the second oldest thing in the park is (after the petrified tree).
See if you can guess what it is (HINT: Only a few guests per day are actually able to see it).
⚜️ I recall reading , back when, that ‘Walt purchased the ‘Town Square ‘Flagpole’ , as it was being discarded by some local source , for the ‘astonishing price of just $50. Bucks 🇺🇸🎈😃🥤✌🏼
Should have covered the pope house been on property since 1919
I don't film backstage, and I don't break the rules. Pope House is now out of bounds.

Bro do you play hockey??
I do not, but my best friends own a little T-shirt company called VG/HC - I'm assuming you have heard of it 😉
Im confused. You said at the beginning that none of the topics are true. But for instance, the carousel and Casey Jr factoid is true.
"They're all false."
Please clarify.
You need to rewatch the beginning because that’s NOT what I said.
Only one question.... Did Ed subscribe yet? 🤣😂
I don’t think we won him over yet 😂
Fly. Like Tinkerbell. Cry baby 😢😅😂😮
Disney should disappear since they went Woke.
