- WHAT IS THE DISNEY MAGIC AND WHY ARE SO MANY PEOPLE DRAWN TO THIS LEGENDARY PLACE?
Some say it's a tangible energy that exists in each of us, unlocked by the memories of our childhood and the fellowship of everyone who we experience it with. What is it about walking into a Disney Park that feels like visiting an old friend or someone who you have shared some of your most memorable moments with? This documentary will explore each of these questions and speak with Legendary Disney Cast Members as well as some of the most respected and successful professional Disney fans in the industry who have left their desk jobs and begun living their dream by turning their passion of Disney into full time careers! - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I completely get how John feels when he talks about Disney with his dad. Such simple memories can bring enormous joy to our lives. For example, when I was riding the Haunted Mansion as a kid with my dad, I was afraid to proceed onto it, and that rough, big hand of his guided me through the whole ride no matter how scared I was. I unfortunately lost my dad last year and I'm holding those minuscule moments very close to my heart. I hope you all do too.
As a child growing up our family would take trips to Disneyland, my father however wasn't able to join us because he couldn't take the time off of work. So I have this memory of probably our fourth trip I was about six years old and I'm saying goodbye to Daddy and I remember feeling so sad for him because he had never been there and I wanted him to be able to experience it. So I told him as I gave him a hug that someday I would take him to Disney. Fast forward 25 years later I was able to take Daddy to Disneyland. Out of all my memories of enjoying the parks this would become the most special. To experience it through the eyes of my children and the most special guy in my life brought me the most joy. That was five years ago and we still enjoy talking about it.
Awesome story, proud of you God bless you and your family,thought and prayers Christina 👊
The guy who works for big fat panda made me cry! He has such clear and beautiful memories and I wish I could go to Disney and create memories as magical as his
The stories at the beginning already made me tear up. What Walt created is something nobody can physically or mentally take away from anyone. I can’t imagine mine or anybody else’s life without Disney Magic everybody loves.
The time lapses are gorgeous.
13:50 Finally someone I can relate to. I feel the same as this guy.
Incredible documentary! Growing up watching these creators myself, there's a nostalgia element beyond just the parks themselves, but how these people bring the magic to those who aren't in the World. Thanks for posting this on CZcams! :D ~Brayden
Love your show! Keep up the great work!
I just found this video! So nostalgic! Great to see JeniLynn again! Miss her.
I was fortunate enough to see this screen in Celebration, Florida last summer. I'm so glad the entire documentary is also on CZcams now.
I always come back to this. After postponing my bucket list trip to Disney 3 times due to covid this puts me in the mood.
I just stumbled upon this and clicked it while I was eating my breakfast. 10 minutes in and I was crying. I am a fellow Disney junkie. I did the college program in 2004 and have been back as many times as I have been able to since. I even honeymooned there and on DCL. Coming from the West Coast I do not get out yearly, like I would like but as much as I can. I now have a one year old son and can't wait to take him for his 1st trip and many more, and hope he has the same fond memories that you do as a child. Haven't finished watching yet but I can't wait to watch the entire thing! Home
I really loved watching this video. It included many of my favorites on CZcams, etc. I know 100% that feeling they are talking about, it happens everytime I walk in the gates! This made my day and I am so happy I found it. :) Thank you again - Jess
Omg big fat panda makes me cry.. 😞 Disney is really nostalgic I can relate 💜
HUG xxoo
We had allot of fun shooting this... so glad you enjoyed!
Thank you for posting this. I went to the Magic Kingdom for the first time, in 1980. Then went back three years later, and EPCOT was virtually brand new. I love all things Disney!
This really isn't so much a documentary as much as it is a really really good colab disney vlog. Good job.
Enjoyed this film very much. Just one question, where were these Dreamfinders when I was living and working there, for Disney, in 1977? I was totally alone in my passion for WDW, would spend at least half of all my time off from work on property exploring everything there was to explore. Everyone I worked with AT DISNEY was there just for the job, no one cared about it outside of that and I was looked at as a fanatic. I was (and am) every bit as committed as these people in this film. I struggled to eek out a living there on minimum wage with a car that constantly broke down and I could not afford a new one. After waiting as long as I could for things to change, I had to leave and move back north to PA. I would have stayed if something had changed for me transportation-wise, I honestly did not mind being by myself in my love for Disney. But you cannot buy a new car on minimum wage salary and Disney themselves offered no transportation option for their employees.
Great video, and awesome production. Hurray Mickey!
Well done.
I know some of these people and their passion for Disney is undeniable. For those of us who love the Disney parks, their efforts help bring our community together. They, and dozens of others like them, are the public voice of our shared experience.
Now, let's get out there and have fun!
Beautiful! Well done.
Never thought I'd dislike a Disney documentary. This was a bizarre and unfocused piece where I felt sad watching you.
I am going tot disney today for my spring break i cant wait
I finally got around to watching this last night and was taken aback by the high quality video and content. It felt like I was watching a PBS special! Excellent job, Tony! I look forward to watching this again before my next trip to WDW in 2017!
Thanks Scott, glad you enjoyed it!
Great footage! Thanks for making this!!
Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful documentary!
Gosh I love all these people! It takes me back to all the many many hours I have spent listening and watching their podcasts!
You all did a magnificent job of creating a series about the magic that Disney brings to millions of people around the world
24:11 We love how Ron describes this---such magic and so attuned.
I really enjoyed this! The Disney community is the best. I'm happy to be apart of it!
This video needed Pete, Rhyno, The Tracker Family, Justin Scarred, Adam the Woo instead. Jennilynn is a beloved member of the community though so nice work getting her in.
David Miller yes The Tim Tracker!
And fresh baked Disney
La Sylphide I was going to suggest Fresh Baked myself! Plus: Alex the Historian, Offhand Disney, Disney Dan, and Disneyland Eric.
I took my son to Disney world in 1980 and I took myself to Disneyland in the 90's. So NOW THANK GOD there's Heaven cause they say Disneyland is THE happiest place on earth and Disney is NOT FOREVER! 🙏🏼🙌🏼👏🏼🥰
St John 3:16! ❤️
This is awesome, thank you
Thank you for this! This was awesome!
Outstanding video. Bravo. Well done.
I first went 12 years ago. And It is the best place on earth. Many more memory’s to make. Can’t wait for next time
This video is so good! It needs to be more well known! I love this documentary. Like my third time watching it now. Defiantly not my last.
Went there literally 4 to 5 times a year with my mom's side of the family. Best memories of my childhood. Getting a Disney tattoo.
I've only been to Disneyland in Paris, but it's just as magical as the one in America and I still remember my first time, when I walked into the hotel lobby and Mickey was there. That's how it all started. And I've loved every moment of it.
What an awesome Doc !!! Thanks For Sharing !!
Thank you very much for making this!
This was wonderful… the photography, and the stories…. Loved loved loved this. 💕💕💕
WEDWAY! I remember that!
♥️ this video, hope I can visit another Disney Park someday
I wish one day i can meet you guys in person. I'm a Brazilian Disney Freak, since 1993. So-called world community :-) Thanks for sharing.
The time lapse photography was "Brilliant". It's nice to see there are people out there that love Disney as much as I do... As a result of watching this video I have been binge watching Big Fat Panda... Skidousche!!!
Thank You :)
That was so nice when he talked to his father.
I loved this video. Thanks so much for making this!
I loved this documentary! It provides a "behind the scenes" look at some of my favorite content providers. The filming and time lapsed sequences in the parks were wonderful; so beautifully filmed. I met Big Fat Panda in Nov 2016 and he is one of the nicest people. Thank you for the film :)
Thank you for putting this up, it was lovely seeing some of my favourite Disney lovers enjoying the magic together. I'm in the UK and I adore Disney, this year will be my 5th visit I just love it. You guys are so lucky :) xx
I visit and listen to the media outlets these Disney-Holics have created on a daily basis. It is great to see a video of them all in their element. I also greatly appreciate the passion and guts everyone of them had at one point to make a profession out of what they love!! They have been able to do what I only have the guts to dream about doing!!The video quality is exceptional as well and very well done, GREAT JOB!!!!
Thank you for bringing a little more joy to my day!
Finally watched after hearing Lou mention it on one of his vlogs a few months ago. Incredible quality and an immensely fun group of people. Hope I get to see one or two of them in the parks when we visit later this year. Great documentary for a Disney fanatic
Good quality video and I loved the opening almost felt as if I were there. Thank you 😄
those time-lapse shots are AMAZING. Definitely stealing those to use for idk what yet but something :DDDDDD
IllumiNations will always be my favorite WDW experience. I would be so heartbroken if they got rid of it
Thanks so much for all you're hard work everyone! I am moving to Orlando in March, thanks so much for great inspiration!😁❤✨✨✨✨✨
thanks for this you guys, really enjoyed it.... being in the UK i can't get as often as id like to, so this made me feel a little closer and brought back some magic...... my husband and I are there at the end of June - beginning of July for both our birthdays and our anniversary...... it will be my 16th time to WDW, staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge this time ... can't wait
Great video Tony. I love to feel connected to the parks through videos like this. I'm back in the summer so will get to bottle the Disney magic all over again. I want your job lol
I seriously can't stand being away from the parks. Really great videos.
This is beautiful. Not just because of the information but because of the smiles and laughs. I'm an undergrad studying Biology (Pre-Med), and as I study for finals I watch these videos to reflect on nostalgia and to smile knowing there are people like you all. Keep doing what you're doing!
thank you love this mack me happy
Awesome video, I will be moving to Orlando in March of 2019. Looking forward to developing friendships within the DW community!!!
I'm not really a disney fan, didn't care much for it when I was a child, I didn't go to DW until I was in my later 20's with my gf but once I did go I just couldn't help to feel happy inside and while there I seen many adult dinsey fans which I found interesting aswell. One older lady who was in line in front of me had traveled from Germany all by herself to visit that park which really blew me away, and as shown in the doc how many people move to the Orlando area just to be near that park not to mention Celebration, Florida which I bet many fans outside of Fl even know about!
I had no clue about this subculture but since that day I just can't help to want to know more about Walt and his parks while I'm still not a major fan I do appreciate that place and always want to know more about Disney and it's super fans.
This is absolutely amazing. Finally a beautiful doc that shows the beauty and magic of it. What camera was this shot on?
What I great video. I feel the same magic. Good job.
Great video.... The Disney Family is strong! "O"
I don't know what these people are talking about your video and documentary is amazing
:-)
Great. Disney is unique. I am suscribing to this channel.
I'm a little nervous adding an opinion because apparently it's ok to bash anyone who didn't love this documentary. But here goes : I have nothing against any of these people. However, in a docu about the magic of Disney, it's just gut wrenching to see people who are actually there watching it all through their cell phones. No one seemed to really look around and appreciate it, Just way too focused on hits and likes and periscoping. That, to me is the antithesis of actually enjoying any moment.
Ron Schnieder was very under utilized and he worked there! I'd have loved to hear more about his experiences IN DISNEY World, as an employee. You guys had access to an inside source, and completely squandered it. There's just no other way to put that.
Last, I'll say this. The description sounds good, really good. That's why I clicked on the video. However, it is completely inaccurate. I would have LOVED to see the movie described there, sort of an adventure into the psyche of why Disney is so sacred in our memories and hearts. This just was not that. Not by a long shot.
For the record, you are only seeing what is edited to stay in. I despise most people on their cameras and cellphones ALL the time. I refuse to ride an attraction like the Haunted Mansion if someone is going to be using their phone because it ruins the magic. I get ya.
Keep in mind, most employees will talk about there experiences but not on camera. It’s not okay for them to do that unless they’ve got permission.
i miss Disney soooo much ,can whait one second to go back hopefuly 2019 grrrr got to whish apon a star
This is so ego-massaging that I'm cringing so hard, and I wanted to love this :(
thanks for sharing tony. A+
And I thought I was the only Mouse fanatic!
Really cool stuff. I love the intro...the part @3:48 looks incredible. Nice work.
I meet Big Fat Panda a couple of years ago in line for Big Thunder Mountain. A great guy and a true Disney fan.
Awww, THANK YOU
The dream will always continue with all of our unique cast members and fellow fans. So it's awesome to "walk through" the inspirational park and unstoppable message.🎯🐭🏰🌠☀️ Stay safe everyone!
Nicely done!
13:50 Big Fat Panda.. yes. I completely agree with you..
LOL Good :)
Beautiful
I envy all four of you!
Meant FIVE!
Shooting Star at 3:50 top right corner
I don't really know how I feel about this one. I mean, the cinematography was brilliant. But I'm not sure what the message was here. I mean a movie about Disney bloggers might have a small targeted demographic. But what have you shown the people what they don't already know about said Disney bloggers? The first 45 minutes was great, but when the Periscope competition broke out, all I was thinking about was what the people walking by were thinking walking by a bunch of bloggers with their faces stuck in their phones instead of experiencing the "Disney Magic," because it wasn't about Walt Disney World any more. So while I finished the movie, I had completely shut it out. Still, though, the camera work was superb, and you really edited it well. I just wish you cut out the 10 minutes of the Social Media plug and replaced it with more interviews with guests other than the Disney Bloggers. We hear enough about their opinions of Disney Magic, I was hoping to hear what Joe Blow thought about Disney Magic.
Interesting cause I thought the cinematography was very lacking.
You have some massive balls flying a drone inside of the Magic Kingdom.
Hello! Which camera did you use for the shooting of this documentary? It looks absolutely beautiful! Cheers!
The Disney magic?? So hard to explain. You either get it or you don't. Fortunately I got it. :)
OMG this is a gorgeous film, only lacking in Animal Kingdom footage. Beautifully shot and really lovely to hear all of your stories and about the Disney community there. I did cry when John got emotional talking about his Dad on his first trip. Thank you so much for doing this guys 😍
This is fantastic! Your editing and the video imagery is beautiful... incredible footage. For those that don't know these hard working bloggers (writers, producers... etc.), they may not "get it", but I certainly do. I know or know of all these fine folks and appreciate their dedication to bring me, a huge fan of Disney, all the news and information I can handle. Without their hard work, I'd have to rely on scrolling Twitter feeds and the copy n paste world of Facebook. THANK YOU for this! Well done. :-)
thank you. allz of youz are great!!!!
I'm a huge Disney fan. But I need more Disney fans. I feel soon alone
This was a very well put together production and it seems like everyone enjoyed themselves while filming it. So much of what they say relates to what I do each week with Sorcerer Radio. People sometimes can't quite understand why I do what I do every week. But it's our love for Disney and the magic they create that has shaped the lives we all have today. Keep up the great work, and I hope to see you all at the parks.
Theyre lowkey all petty during the periscope scene lmaooo
Love this doc. What is everyone opinion on kingdom hearts?
that segment comparing viewers on the live broadcast (around min 46) was so cringy
i wish people would put down their phones and stop living their lives through their lense. or at least stop ruining other people's experience with talking and tbe bright screen during things like fireworks.
I totally agree with you.
Vwkarman2 I remember I was recording it for like 30 seconds and then I thought it made no sense having the whole show in front of me and watching it through my phone so I just stopped recording, you know you're always gonna find a video of it on youtube anyway
For what it is worth, I channel Walt and we both enjoyed this immensely. Thank you to all who contributed to this thoroughly enjoyable Documentary. Cheers, Edward ~
13:45 is so relatable
Do you guys have one for Disneyland C.A ?.
Can anyone tell me where the music in the beginning is from?
The editing was really well done and the cinematography was spectacular, but other than that there was something about this documentary that struck me as just a little weird. As another commentator once said "painful to watch". I myself am a major Disney fan, and I've spent more than half my life so far learning about Disneyland in California and I consider myself one of the super fans...but I wouldn't be apart of a documentary that focused so much on myself...I don't believe everyone's story is really that interesting. My own story as to how I became a Disney fan is kind of a worded story, but I wouldn't presume that its something people would want to hear, especially since I'm not very well known. -And to that point, the people in this documentary aren't that well known either, despite the popularity of the sites they've created. The point is that their websites are popular, but their names are not, so this whole documentary comes off as odd narcissistic babble from people we'll probably never see again in our lives.
S2iAm Thank you!
S2iAm and Tony Cortese, A troll doesn't compliment the editing and cinematography. I didn't write some strongly worded complaint about the documentary, I expressed a critical response, just like you just did in your comment about me. I didn't give my Disney story in my comment, I gave one 30 word sentence (a single sentence out of the whole paragraph, hardly enough to be my "life story") telling the reader that I'm not a Disney hater, I'm a Disney fan (in order to assure the reader that I'm not trolling), nor did I finish the comment about myself, if you had actually read it correctly. And lastly I never said it was a documentary about them, I insinuated that the documentary focused heavily on their own stories ...I did this by saying "I wouldn't be a part of a documentary that focused SO MUCH on myself" ...meaning that its okay to give a brief summary of why you like Disneyland or Walt Disney World, but a documentary that is this heavy on their stories is too much ...in my opinion... the very fact that you are inhibiting the expression of my opinion tells me you're the troll. I hate the term troll anyway, people use it so loosely, anyone who doesn't agree with absolutely everything other people like is a troll. So stupid.
They are well known within their circles, and those circles would be the ones watching this. I recognized Lou Mongello the second he appeared.
Also, talking about yourself and your experience with something you love does not make you narcissistic. Narcissism would be more like thinking you're more important than others, which is different from believing that your experience is valid and worth sharing.
I wonder how much it cost having to get everyone passes or maybe they had season passes?
The Dreamfinders (6 @ 6 Segments from WGN Morning News Only)
wow, loved seeing the original dream finder! this was an interesting video. my only beef is that you guys seemed to be very loud and almost disruptive in the parks... I hope you're not like that all of the time because you're ruining the magic for first time visitors.
