You were fortunate that you visited winter Efteling on the 1 day that we had actual snow here. :)
You must have been there the same day as the guys from Theme Park Worldwide
.
Ik was 3 januari 2019 naar de efteling geweest, meen je dit nou...
I was in the efteling on 3 january 2019, are you kidding me...
@@jens684 I live closeby and it snowed exactly one day this winter thusfar. Lucky them!
So glad CZcams remembered I watched a video of you visting the Efteling months ago and suggested this one to me. Love the energy.
"Hold on to your imagination, it's where magic begins"
what a quote.
I get so happy when I watch your video's omg. Its so fun to see you guys so happy there. I remember when I was younger when me and my parents went to the winter efteling. Its amazing, still wanna go every year
The Efteling is sheer magic. It has neither the fastest rides, or the highest or the loudest or the biggest. And there is no need for any of that because it is the overall experience of this park that is truly unique. The attention to detail and the magical feel of it all. I am so happy that we live nearby so we get to visit this park twice a year, once with the family and then again with friends. As a child my parents whould call me and my brother in sick for school. (the school condoned it, like a public secret, many parents did the same ) so we could go there during schooldays when it was a very quiet. It is a part of every dutch kids childhood. I am very grateful for this. Being forty years now, i can't tell you how lovely it is to see young children in the park experience that same kind of wonder when i was their age.
I really like watching your vlogs Maddie and Greg, it gets me all excited and giddy and i can't wait to go to the Efteling again!
Keep it up and best wishes from the Netherlands!
Chris V what a lovely comments, thanks Chris. And thanks for sharing your Efteling story with us too 🙏
You're welcome @@GregFoot , by the way did you know that Kate Bush did this whole live tv-show in and near Spookslot? This was in 1978. Here's some really bad footage of it:
czcams.com/video/udLOPLhUiJo/video.html
It is a bit silly ( very silly to be honest ) but fun to watch none the less.
@NorthernLights Thank god, I was starting to worry that it wasn't that common at all!
This cat is from the Efteling. And the name of the cat is tommy
@@maddiemoate I believe it's a neighbourhood cat, but the efteling kind of adopted him parttime, because he likes it there so much. He has a house and a family where he goes home too.
The Efteling is the place where you grow up as a child with dreams.
It is the Disneyland for the Netherlands.
Fun fact! We have a couple cats in the Efteling! We also have simba, also known as the pagode cat! Next time you go you should try to find him! He’s always near the pagode ride. We (the employees) also feed the cats 😊♥️
Marleen Koenraads oooo interesting! Thanks! And everyone who works at Efteling is amazing - thanks!
Love your video! I live 5 minutes away from the Efteling, so basically i grew up there. When I was young I came there every day. Back then my grandfather was taking care of the plants and flowers in the park😊
Seeing this vlog is what Efteling aims for to forget daily life and have a fairytail day. Lots of plans for new rides in the coming years. So enough to come back for. Best themepark of our country
I even prefer the Efteling over Disneyland
beter food too in my opinion, fresh fruit and poffertjes... more healthy options too.
I love how positive and excited you guys are. It's really refreshing to see.
It's so great to see you enjoying the Efteling so much! Makes my Dutch heart proud. I practically grew up there as a child and I still visit at least once a year. I love it
I want to go this place so badly. I keep
Coming back to your vlogs because of the pure joy and happiness on both your faces.
Thanks for the Winter Efteling update! Your vlog really brings the spirit of Efteling and makes me want to go again! Nice to see you guys are enjoying the entire park and not just the rides.
Winter Efteling definitely felt like it was a great time for enjoying the atmosphere and not worrying so much about getting all the rides done!
The Efteling is my favorite theme parc but winter efteling is on a whole other level when there is also real snow and cold weather. It's that finishing touch. Not all rides will be open but it's amazing to just stroll trhough the parc.
I have absolutely no idea how both of you exude so mush happiness on film. So natural and infectious. Great video, tells a story, and really promotes the type of experience you can have at the park, both from the adult and children’s perspectives.
Really enjoyed watching this.
It's so nice to see how happy you are in the Efteling! It's my alltime favourite park!❤
In times of self isolation we'll watch more Maddie Moate vlogs in Sweden. Your Efteling coverage is fab bringingvme back to my childhood and showing our half English/half Dutch children an important part of their Dutch heritage. Keep 'm coming!
I really enjoy seeing you two have so much fun together. You both have such beautiful smiles. Thank you for sharing bits of your trip with us.
Ive never been to Efteling but I love that not only is it open in winter unlike a lot of British parks, but they make it into a genuinely attractive idea and event in itself. Superb!
I loved the last Efteling Vlog, so I'm really happy you guys are back! Loved it once again!
Your video's are always so happy and fun, they always make me smile! Loved this one a lot!!
This vlog really makes me want to visit the Efteling again, it's been so long since last time I was there! It used to be a yearly tradition to visit it with my family when I was younger.
I love the Efteling so much! so many memories, it is really a part of my childhood. still a magical place for me, and that will always be!
You guys always have the most fun! It's really glad to see a happy couple. Having a good time.
Jason Reynolds we sure do! Check out some of our other films for more fun adventures 😊
I love you Efteling blogs. It’s my favorite park in the world. And the winter Efteling is amazing the lights and the trees and the entertainment. In the weekends there are acts the sing lovely songs. And the pancake restaurant is my favorite place to eat when I go. Come soon back for another Efteling blog you to are so happy en fun to look to! ❤️
So I’ve recently discovered the Efteling and I’ve been binge watching all the videos I can find on it because it’s so enchanting. However, I just had to say yours are my favorites because of the pure, genuine, joy on both your faces
OMG you guys are the best!! Loved this video but loved it even more because you guys are so fun! ♥️
me watching you go to a theme park I've been at least 15 times myself, Haha never gets old
Your enthausiasm makes me so happy! Makes me very excited to go again soon :)
Great that grown-ups can still be children, and this is actually what the Efteling is all about, young or older, we are all children when we are here. What is MORE important, we are HAPPY children in the Efteling...….everything is only positive and kind-hearted, you're in another world, where there is nothing bad! Loved your vlog and your positivisme, and fyi, the park will grow substancely in a couple of years, with lots of new things……..keep on vlogging, great job!!
Loved the video. Your obvious enjoyment is sooo much fun to watch.
I really like to see foreigners enjoy our most beloved themepark!😊
Loved this vlog!😄
I love the efteling, but living in Canada, I can only go when I travel to europe. So I like watching vlogs when I miss it.
Very few vlogs capture the true magical feeling of it like you do ❤ thank you so much
My backyard theme park ♥️ I literally grew up in this park as my mom used to take me here on every Wednesday from my 4th till 12th year. After that we went every weekend with friends and turning 16 I got my first season job there. Thanks for this vlog it put a smile on my face from ear to ear.😊
You guys are so happy and i found myself smiling for 19 min and 34 sec. Thank u for showing "my park" so beautifully. U have so much love for this park and you really enjoy it and i love watching that. Keep up the good work good people..🤣👋
Awesome video! Really great coverage of the park and I love your enthusiasm as a couple.
Wow I loved how you showed us the Efteling. This is the first video from you that I have seen, but I loved it. Thank you!
Love it! I live in the Netherlands, so I'm going to the Efteling this year for the fifth time! Its seriously my favourite place in the world!😍
Ok so happy because they were all the right people who had a different story
You don’t know how happy I am to see this! I’m Dutch myself and watched your other Efteling vlogs (again) yesterday. I absolutely love your positive view on everything! It’s such a coincidence that you just posted this, because I was planning on watching other Efteling vlogs. I simply love to hear different opinions about something I’m kind of used to (since I go to the Efteling at least 1/2 times a year). So excited to watch this! I already know it’s going to be good. 😁
Greg Foot I definitely did! You guys didn’t disappoint me. Your positivity puts me in such a great mood. Keep up the good work! 😊
LOVED IT!!! You guys are just adorable and this is definitely my favourite place in the whole wide world :)
Yay, I love watching people visiting the Efteling
Your energy and enthousiasm are contagious :) Thoroughly enjoying discovering the Efteling through your videos. We went to Walt Disney World for the first time when I was six and then other theme parks all paled in comparison afterwards. From what I've seen so far in your Efteling videos, this one looks really interesting and very well done. Thanks for sharing! (Love seeing the place in winter as well.)
Next time during the 9 squares festival? (9 pleinen festival)
Then there is also extra shows and streetbands. (Iloveit)
@@GregFoot normally in Juli and August every friday and saturday. The park is open from 1000am till 11pm.
The festival begins at 6pm.
And very crowded. So if you go than long queues for the attractions. And you can go in carnaval festival with yoki en jet caracter. czcams.com/video/7GM8ScSPw_0/video.html
There was big maintenance for serveral months.
You two are so adorkable
@@GregFoot Hahaha..shall we blame that on Siri? ;) She's right though, you two should be proud of the vlogs you do, you seem really nice and fun!
It looks amazing there and love everything u do especially ur show /episodes
How nice to watch and listen to your two. You are great ambassadors for the Efteling.
It is nice to hear as a Dutchman how foreigners experience the Efteling. Continue with it
places with this type of vlogs. You both are a great couple.
IMHO the best themepark on earth... Always a pleasure to see other people having a good time there ;) In fact, I often go just to watch people having a good time... Last year twice a month on average, I hope to double that this year :p
Thank you for showing the world how great the park is !!!
You guys make me wish I could rediscover the magic of love and seeing the Beauty and amazement surrounding us. This video made me happy. You are both awesome and gorgeous.
I love this so much, I love the snow and the efteling.
Efteling is my youth, I still remember I was always so scared of the dragon at the Fairy Forest😂 we always went to the Efteling in the summer with the whole family and we would always end up behind my Grandpa's legs because he would protect us so the Dragon didn't harm is😂😂😂 I have this whole collage with foto's of the so calles "paddenstoel, rood met witte stippen" (mushroom, red with white dots) from every year❤
oh my favourite place in my country! My kids are so happy to see you in their mum's country!
I can’t wait to go here with my grandchildren! I’m so excited!
I think the womn with the pillow was Frau Holle. shes the magic woman who rewards the industrious girl and punishes the lazy girl in mid to east european fairytales, according to some she is also one of the leaders of the wild hunt ( basically a ghost army)
You're a positive bunch. Loved the video.
You guys are amazing! Hold on to
That playfulness! It’s a sight to see
Ooooo i love Efteling. Part of Dutch culture! Everyone should visit once a year at least
WoW i really love you guys! You guys are such excited and happy souls and i live for iT hahahaha. I was just looking up Efteling video’s because i am going tomorrow (ive been there many times because i live kinda nearby) but i was just watching Some video’s to get in the vibe again. Cant wait and i immediately subscribed because I love you guys🥰❤️
Oh. Wow. What an utterly brilliant video 😳. In and of itself video and editingwise, you guys' extremely contagious enthausiasm and honest happiness with the trip and each other, the snow.. well all the things clearly visible for all. But imagine the added deepness for a Dutch adult who went to the Efteling as (early) childhood treats in the 80's and 90's.. seeing how everything is still there, very well maintained, all the crucial memory cornerstones still intact and the park still being upgraded, and it being enjoyed by 'people like me/us'. I already know of a couple of early 30s Amsterdam couples, with and without childrend that will be going to the (winter) Efteling because of this video now hahaha. There's literally no way the Efteling or any ad-agency they'd hire could make an ad for the park coming even close to this themselves. Thankyou for the retardedly happy grin I have on my face now haha. 😊 And a happy 2019 with lots of well deserved succes to you guys!
Its fun too see other people in our Dutch theme park !! Love it
Efteling had it's own tv-show once called "De Schatkamer" with children who could present their tallents and a also a game-show kinda aspect. Like, u guys would be the best to present that. U'r positivity is just so nice and makes me smile. You do the park so much justice. To see you love the park I've loved for years just warms my heart 😍
know you guys from last year and it was such a nice video. This one as well. Thank you so much!
Ow... And I would LOVE to join you guys! :D Amazing to see how much people can enjoy the park as well!
The Layered picture frames are actually illustrations from Anton Pieck, one of the creators of the Efteling. I really like it that you visit the Efteling again in winter. Really hope you loved it.✨
Oh my Maddie; you looked so evil eating that gingermans legs...Loved it ..!
Such a lovely couple having a great time in Netherlands best theme park. Love your reviews and enthusiasm.
You two are so cute 2getter
Really fun and happy
The park is wonderfull and magical
Of all the video's i've seen from my favourite theme park, yours are the best, love the positivity, smiles and joy from the both of you. i hope there will follow more in the future.
A brilliant review! Looks like a great place to spend the day! Love you guys! :-)
This is my first video of you guys! And with my favorite park in europe 🙌🏼 you got a new subscriber 🙋🏼♀️
Your dutch words are perfect!
Thank you! Dank je wel! ♥️
George and the dragon... Just one of the best wooden rollercoasters in the world...
The "not quite skiing" is just cross country skiing as opposed to Alpine that most people would be more familiar with. It's very common in the northern part of the US and the Scandinavian countries. You can actually get quite a bit of speed due to your heel being free vs locked down like they are for Alpine skiing. It's less a shuffle and more of a glide like you're skating
I still cant believe that this park is in MY country. normally the good things always happen in other countries. but this is just the best thing the netherlands ever got. De Efteling most gorgeous part ever.
Thank you so much for uploading!!
We go almost every week. It's never boring.
I'm glad you like The Netherlands!
Lots of love from a Dutch Girl❤️
I won't forget the one time in the Efteling with real snow. I don't like the cold, but it was so magical that I didn't mind at all. We went on the last ride in the boats as it was getting darker and it was beautiful with all the snow, ice and lights in the trees.
Wow, you had the best day to visit the Efteling. A snowy Anton Pieck world! 🎩☃️
This was such a lovely vlog! I really love Efteling. The cat you spotted in the fairytale forest is called Tommy and he lives in the fairytale forest. X
I absolutely love Efteling! I’m Dutch and I go to the Efteling every year with my family or friends, it’s amazing! It’s so funny to see you pronouncing Dutch words and experience the Efteling. For when you go again, have fun! And if you’re hungry buy a Baguette with an Unox sausage, it’s the best!
Maddie Moate oh yes, I still have one at home, even though I never wear it because it looks hideous (also: free advertising? Ehmm nope 😂)
great couple, great video (again). loved it.
Love your video...i,m living closeby the efteling....and What a fun you have there....come back soon!!!!
The efteling has gotten some upgrades!!! It has obe more ride and a faury tail ride in the fairytale forest! You can check it out some time- they also have a theatre if you havent noticed
Really enjoyed that. It made my day.
Love it YOU loved it... I'm from The Netherlands and it's my favorite place to be EVER! :D
I love you guys, you are both such a lovely people
I like the part of the park with the bobsled ride in winter :)
Love watching the two of you 🤗😀
Love the positive attitude!
I am a great fan from the Efteling. I came there (at 8 years) for the first time in 1954 when it was a playground with a fairytale forest with 10 fairytales. Later we want there with our children almost every year. And than with our grandson. Howe is now 23 years and want there for the first time with his girl for a romantic trip. I'm also a fan of the first designer from the fairytale forest Anton Pieck (look him up on Google) how is a famous Dutch illustrator and the winter pictures you show on the begin are illustrations made by him. And i also a fan of your blogs they make this old Dutchman ferry happy. Well done.
I’m glad you liked it! It’s my favorite park!!
I went for the first time last month. I can't wait to go again. It was fantastic 😃😃
Love to see foreigners enjoying our Dutch childhood memories l I love Efteling. Don’t forget to get some poffertjes folks..
Just want to say a quick THANK YOU for all your wonderful comments! We're both completely overwhelmed with the warm response to our Efteling vlogs! If we were to come back, what would you want to see from us that we haven't already covered? X
Walibi holland !
You should have a guide trough the park. Who can tell you more about characters, people who spoke in the voices of the characters, etc. Cause the Baron you see, that old guy, was spoken in by an actor who was in a childrens series called Bassie and Adriaan. Stuff like that, how something was build, etc.
They started to build a new large attraction, Circus teamt. It comes on the site where Vogel Rock is near the large restaurant.
The voice of Long Neck is still that of Peter Reijnders; one of the three most important people at the origin of the park in 1952.
Maybe it would be nice to tell a bit more about the history of the park during your next visit? :)
Next visite must be in the summer , july/august on fri/sat/sun there are the "Negenpleinenfestijn" ... only there is one thing , there lot of people on this days. But you must come to see this! Greetz Danny
