Offhand Disney

Well, another ten years has come and gone, but this time I have my own YouTube channel where I can talk about the things I loved and the things I didn't so much when it comes to Disney! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the a stroll down memory lane.

We all hate waiting in lines. FastPass really comes in handy when you're in the park. But sometimes it pays to be patient. Today, allow me to show you through my personal top 10 favorite lines at Disneyland Park. From Indy to Snow White, there's a little something for everyone if you know where to look. And sometimes, it can make the wait just a little more bearable.

Trying out a new kind of video, just having some fun with you guys today. Let me show you all this shelf I have full of things I've come across in my past few years visiting the Disney Parks!

Smells? Images? Sometimes maybe even a word or two? Yeah. These are all things you can find in the Disney Parks and movies. But sometimes, they might be a little hard to notice. Which is what a subliminal message is. Just watch the video, I explain it in there.

From tikis to yetis, torches to walls. Yeah, walls. Today let's take a look back in time at some broken items and effects that Disney never really bothered to fix.

One of the wildest rides Disney has to offer, and something to kick off a brand new series. Dragons, Judges and sometimes a couple of badgers. And trains. And sheep- See how Mr. Toad's Wild ride stands up in this new video as part of the Ride Ranking series.

See, told ya the title would have abandoned in all caps in it. Today, we take a look back at Disneyland's Skyway to Tomorrowland and Fantasyland, it's history and it's eventual demise.

Just wanted to do something fun, a quick video where I talk your ear off as we ride Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland.

Pigs? Yeah. Roman Goddesses? Sure, why not. A giant microscope? Alright, that may be a bit too far. Today we discuss the history of the Kaiser Aluminum Hall of Fame, an opening day attraction in Disneyland's Tomorrowland.

Just news. Only serious news here. No joking. No fun. Just news.

Something that we can't really experience these days. Take a ride on Horizons at Epcot with me, and I'll talk about historical facts the entire time. Not trying to be annoying or anything.

From Jack Sparrow to Redd. From Davy Jones to the cutest little octopus you have ever seen in your entire life. Join me today as we discuss the changes Disney has made to Pirates of the Caribbean over the years, and whether or not they added to the ride.

Evil Pinocchio is the thumbnail for this one, what else do I have to say? Sometimes the parks can be super happy, but there's a flip-side to every coin. Today, join me as we discuss some of the scariest things you can find at the Disney Resorts.

When we think of scrapped Disney Parks we usually think Westcot or Disney's America. But did you know that there was almost a Disney Park right near the St. Louis Arch, and that Walt Disney himself had plans for it? Here is the story of Disney's Riverfront Square, one of Walt's most ambitious theme park ideas ever.

Walt Disney and his Imagineers took inspiration from all over the world when deciding which ghosts to house inside The Haunted Mansion. Here are the stories and sightings that would go on to inspire all the happy haunts.

From the mythical "Texas Disney Park" that everyone always talks about to a massive supertanker stuffed full of Disney rides, here are 3 more Disney Parks that were on the drawing board at one time, but for some reason or another (Eisner) they never happened.

Still going. The fourth ride-along, this time we circle the original Disneyland and I talk and talk and talk to you about some facts you may or may not have known!

Comments have been turned off because I've seen some pretty abhorrent comments that have no place on my channel or anywhere. Like that all-caps title? Disney announced today that Splash Mountain at both Disneyland and Walt Disney World will receive a Princess and the Frog-themed update. What are your thoughts on this?

From Song of the South all the way up to The Princess and the Frog, Splash Mountain at the Disney Parks has had quite the wet and wild ride over the years. Today I'll go in depth about the history of this classic log flume and the future that lays in store.

Disneyland Adventures. The apex of video game technology. Join me in a journey into the virtual recreation of Disneyland as we ride... 3 rides and do errands for your favorite Disney characters!

It's not every day you have a tiny green guy show up at your totally legitimate detective agency, and drop the case of a lifetime right of your desk. Well, that's exactly what happened. And I'm taking you along for the ride.

It was a very interesting idea for an Epcot pavilion that was brought down not by lack of creativity or inspiration, but lack of a sponsor. Today we talk about the Wonders of Life pavilion at Epcot, it's history and eventual demise. Maybe with some Martin Short thrown in there somewhere.

Alright Sis, I'm here to spill that mf tea. Please don't take anything I say in this video TOO seriously, just a fun little rant idea I had. I mean, EVERYTHING in this video is totally true. Backed up by science and math.

Okay, I say brief. I made it as brief as I could. Tomorrowland has been trouble ever since it opened in 1955. Today, we go back in time to trace what made the land what it is today, and the different rides that made an impact (positive or negative) on Disney's most out of date futuristic land.

A bit different than what you may be expecting. Over the years, Imagineers have placed different references to rides that have closed in rides that are...Well, open. Today we discuss 5 of these hidden references, the history behind them, and where they can be found.

Disney has recently confirmed, via The Hollywood Reporter, that a new live-action Haunted Mansion movie is in production, with Katie Dippold set to write.

Throwback. Thank you all so much for 250,000 subscribers! I thought for this momentous occasion, that I'd make another video expanding on one of my first ones ever uploaded years ago. So here it is. Updated info. Better audio quality, and even more importantly, more Lafitte.

From the jungles of the amazon to the dark, decrepit tombs in a New Orleans cemetery, it seems that Disney is trying to cover all the bases with what I believe to be the formation of a new connected franchise focusing on one society. Of explorers and adventurers.

Sometimes you ride a river rafting ride, and you think to yourself... Why is this mountain shaped like a bear? Why is there a surfer dude asking me to keep my hands, arms, feet and legs inside the raft at all times? Well, wonder no longer. Today I'm here to give you the rundown on the story, both fictional and factual, of Grizzly Peak.

Okay, not all of them. Just most of them. Today, I have for you, another rant video. This time I get nice and mad about Disney's recent use of projection-face animatronics and sets. Sometimes it's done really well. But when it isn't, it's very obvious.

Like that all caps title? A super attention-grabbing title for a super boring-sounding video. Are you guys weird like me? Do you like waiting in line? Because in some rare cases, I do. Today, I break down 10 of my favorite lines at the Walt Disney World Resort (not counting Hotels...)

This is one of those rare cases where Disney doesn't want to retheme or replace an attraction that they close. But honestly, when faced with the alternative, maybe a retheme isn't exactly the best thing in the world...

Marvel Cinematic Universe? Nah. Figment Cinematic Universe? Now we're talking. Turns out, there's a large connected story surrounding Journey into Imagination that transcends the theme parks. Join me as we unravel the string of films and rides connected by one purple dragon.

What's the weirdest thing that's ever happened to you at Walt Disney World? I can guarantee you that Richard Nixon has something even weirder than that happen to him on property. From ninja turtles, to famous bands. From corrupt politicians to morphin' rangers, here are some of the strangest things that happened at the most magical place on Earth.

We all have our inspirations. Some people make music inspired by Tenacious D. Others may carve benches out of wood inspired by... I don't know, McDonalds? Walt Disney and his Imagineers are no different. Today we search through events, places, and things that may have inspired the original magic kingdom.

Maybe sometimes I think The Haunted Mansion is the best ride Disney has to offer. Today though, I'm changing my mind. Living with the Land is easily the greatest achievement of Walt Disney Imagineering. And I'll tell you why...

Some of these were open for years. Some for weeks. If you blink, you miss it. Today, I break down my Top 10 short-lived Disney rides from Disneyland and Walt Disney World. I also try not to get the Astuter Computer Revue song stuck in my head. I fail.

You see how I made the title both relaxing and super obnoxious at the same time? Guys, Disneyland is what you make of it. If you want to plan and run around and be stressed, that's a fine way to enjoy it. People need structure. Me? I like to sit on the train and nothing for a few hours. Let me tell you about me 10 favorite places to go and take a load off at Disneyland. I'll tell you this, this is probably my most relaxing video ever.

The Haunted Mansion is a perfect ride, let's not try to pretend that it isn't. But guys! I have so many ideas. I have TOO many ideas. So today, I'll be giving you a quick and dirty of the changes I would make to The Haunted Mansion if I was the big boss man for a day.

Happy Holidays! Are you ready for what critics are calling "riveting", "heartwarming", and "the best thing you'll see all year"? Well, you'd better go watch Soul on Disney+. I'm here to talk about knitted long sleeved shirts.
