team 1 Peter pan alice and mr toad and tea cups it takes two cast members to clean those attractions in 6 hours as long as we can get a ride clearance to get on the track sometimes we gotta wait and clean the Q before we can get cleared to get on the track to clean the way it works is we call 2200 on the phone and ask for clearance they contact the mechanic and ask if we can clean the attraction if they are still cycling the vehicles then its a no sometimes we only get a hour that's when u become speedy Gonzalez the ride clearance gives us permission to go past the yellow ribbon the ride motion protection and lock out the power disconnect switch on the the console so that they cant cycle a vehicle and the cast member get struct its a very dangerous job every time we clean a attraction
I'm very thankful for your deep analysis paired with speculation, vs. just throwing a fish in a bucket and calling it a day. I hope this was as much fun to produce as it was to watch ;)
Pan is behind the restrooms, and to the far left of the rest rooms is a door that leads into the Pan “shop” where they do mechanical repairs on the ride vehicles. In general terms, it’s that space behind Snow White’s Grotto (under the “weather vane apparatus”). There is a branch line of the steel beam the vehicles are suspended on that leads into that shop. It also used to be used for parade GC rope and stanchion storage.
Paused at 2:46 so I could add my guess - Toad, Peter Pan, Alice! It's been 20 years, but if I remember correctly I think you may be close to right with that door...I believe it's the door to the other side of the maintenance bay for Toad (and probably the other attractions as well). I distinctly remember the door opening at one point when I was working a hot dog pedal cart there and getting to peek inside to see a TON of tools and workbenches.
Really love these deep dive videos into the details of Disneyland. I think Fantasyland is the most beautiful and richly detailed of all the lands. Right up there with Galaxy's Edge. I hope you do more of these detailed videos!! Thanks for all your amazing content!
Hey Brickey, I just wanted to reach out and thank you for the incredible tour of the three old school Disneyland rides that are going to be temporarily closed down. Your video was not only informative and entertaining but also inspirational. Your passion for Disneyland and its history was evident throughout the video, and your commitment to uncovering the mystery behind the temporary closures was truly inspiring. Your dedication to preserving the legacy of these iconic attractions is a testament to your love for the park and its magic. It's easy to get caught up in the excitement of all the new rides and attractions, but your video reminded us of the importance of remembering and appreciating the past. These classic rides hold a special place in the hearts of many, and your efforts to shed light on their temporary closure will be appreciated by fans for years to come. Thank you again for taking us on this journey of discovery and for reminding us of the power of nostalgia and the importance of preserving the past. Keep up the fantastic work, Brickey, and may your passion for Disneyland continue to inspire and uplift us all.
Loved this video, it reminded me of the old walkthrough videos we used to get during the pandemmy, that just helped tide me over until I could go back home.
Peter Pan, Mr. Toad and Alice is longest So, thank you so much for this video. As soon as you show the castle and the music you chose is perfect. I’m crying. Today, is the anniversary of my family moving to Oregon. And we love it, but I miss California and I miss Disneyland!! This is why I am a Club 1313 member, because you are the only channel that makes me feel like I’m there at Disneyland. Amazing video Brickey! I’ll definitely be rewatching again and again ❤
I just figured they had to close it all down to do regular maintenance but has to do it all at once because you can hear the other attractions from inside. One time alice broke down and I could hear the audio from toads wild ride.
Thanks for blowing my mind, Brickey. I never realized all those three rides were inside one building! Very fascinating, as I have been going to Disneyland since 1958.
This video was just the MOST fun! Thank you for sharing some incredible details in such an enjoyable way! So interested to see the outcome of this refurb!
My name is Craig Dennis how are you doing today i am doing fine today i watch your new videos all the time i in joy all of your videos all the time you have a nice safe weekend and you take care today👍👍👍👍👍
Hey Brickey, awesome meeting you in line for peter pan yesterday! Hope you had a great day. And thanks for making the vids. After watching your vid on Walt's main street tour knew I had to do it while I was there. It was completely worth it. Thanks again!
Dude, I LOVE videos like these! Ok, so I think maybe you were right in the very beginning of the video. Looking at the shingles, they are the one thing that looks "worn" to me. While it is not the same roof as Alice, The roof line plays a part in this I believe. So we know it will be shut down for at least 5 days...or maybe just five days? In order to re-shingle that roof, you would need special equipment brought in and there would be a lot of potential hazards to guest in that area. I think they need to close all three rides for guest safety so nobody gets hit with a flying shingle as they do the work. Because of the angle of the roof, they may need more space down below to do it. Just a guess but I see no other issue in any of the rides that would warrant closing all three attractions. AWESOME video Brickey!
I absolutely love your videos. You notice all the details that the rest of us mere mortals walk right past. And I guessed correctly on the length of the rides. I did not, however, realize that Alice is almost twice the time as the other two. Great work!
I’ve never understood why they didn’t bring Alice to WDW. It’s by far the best of the Fantasyland rides. But I love Snow White and Pinocchio too. Alice is my fave tho
Alice is our family favorite of the three for sure. We are going for our daughters 18th birthday. She shares a birthday with Disneyland…we hope the rides are back up and running by then 🤞🏻.
I visited the park in probably 1956 and the Alice ride blew my mind when I popped outside the building, only to reenter a floor lower. But somehow Peter Pan was my childhood favorite, and remains so today.
I have been to Disneyland 5 times maybe 6 and I have never been on those 3 rides. As now that I am an older person, I think these are just my style...lOl! Let's be honest I pray that I get back to Disneyland & have a chance to ride these rides!!!
Loving this. Peter Pan ride makes my heart happy. So much nostalgia for the ride..I haven seen the movie since I was little, but the ride ❤❤ Kind of like you and Cars Land, Brickey. Thanks for this.
I believe Little Mermaid is going down at the same time. Makes me think both buildings might have the same issue. I wonder if something like the HVAC systems in both buildings got damaged from the heavy rain caused by leaky roofs. They might not have the staff to deal with it sooner and if it is the hvac, they can’t wait later then June.
Great job breaking it all down, Brickey! I really enjoy your analysis of all things Disneyland and the way it all connects to each other. Looking forward to more videos!
I’m guessing it’s to update the electrical, plumbing, sprinklers, heat/cooling and/or some other system. I’m pretty sure I was evacuated from Alice through those double doors.
I have always loved the Alice, Peter and Toad trifecta of rides in Fantasyland and you showcased them beautifully. Loved seeing all the details that most people overlook as they rush from experience to experience. The design IS just as big a part IMO! Alice is my fav classic Disney dark ride too! The door within a door that you stood outside of, I remember having to run back there once while performing in the Electrical Parade years ago as my battery pack had slid down my pant leg and began to uncomfortably overheat! It was an empty storage space from what I remember that led to maintenance areas. I absolutely enjoyed this video! Well done, Brickey!
First time watching your videos…love your flow! *Subscribing* lol. Also, I’m in the middle of your video at the moment, but my assumption is they have to do some kind of repairs or modifications to the flame throwers on the roof…🤔
Wow! Gonna be weird with half the castle closed!!! Stoked it isn't permanent. Thank YOU for the update and live action. LOVE IT! Pan is shortest and Alice is longest. No guessing, just experienced.
Answering your question before watching the rest of the video. Peter Pan is the shortest running de with the longest wait. Alice is the longest. Toad is a drop longer than Pete and Toad is my favorite Fantasyland ride. My guesses. I’ll unpause now.
The waking path idea between castle roof to fantasy land building… it’s hard to tell from Google earth, but it looks like there is some sort of path or rooftop thing between the rooftop of the castle and the wall of fantasy land. It’s blurry and hard to make out the details. But, upon looking at the Cassel roof top, I’m not sure why they would need to access the Cassel rooftop. most of the machinery and hardware, it seems is on the fantasyland rooftop. Thanks to you, the weird things on the roof that I could not figure out what they were, I deducted that they might be the pyrotechnics. If there’s more pyrotechnics on the Cassel side, I need to go back and take a look. But quite possibly cast members could walk from one rooftop to the other, but it’s hard to tell from google earth images in 3-D….. going back and looking, I can see what you mean now. The center castle walkway certainly could contain a cast member path to go from one building to the other, I initially did not even look over on the building where Snow White is housed. But yes, I can see an array of what is likely pyrotechnics machinery on that building as well. In google earth, they are covered by some sort of fabric or some thing. But like I said, Google earth 3-D makes it hard to see details like doors, and such. Nonetheless, it would seem reasonable to have access from one building to the other by way of the Center Castle.
My guess for the closure would be to service or upgrade the fire suppression system for this building. An issue may have come to light after the dragon went down in flames. The building in relation to the fireworks show makes sense for the timing and urgency. In my opinion, a system failure made the dragon fire worse than it needed to be.
Can’t fix it now. It’s a rainy day. If they are waiting til June, that suggests to me that the roof is coming off. Though Murphy’s Law predicts that whenever you do it, it will rain that day.
Alice, Peter, Toad...Yes! I was pretty sure Toad was the shortest. I remember it felt like a minute and a half, last time I rode it. I was pretty sure about Alice because of the outside part. Wonderful video, I always enjoy your insight and take on the parks. Thank you!

If the power is off and your ID is in the sleeve where you got the lock to lock the power off and you have the key, why is it dangerous?
Man I have been missing this vlog style kind of content. You perspective a design mind just gives a point of view that is so entertaining.
I did not know all three rides were in the same building! This is an amazing video. Figuring out all the puzzles is next level! Well done! 👏
The hidden projector got me thinking of another video possibility - scoping out all the Hidden Cameras at Disneyland!
I'm very thankful for your deep analysis paired with speculation, vs. just throwing a fish in a bucket and calling it a day. I hope this was as much fun to produce as it was to watch ;)

Pinocchio and snow white is the same one maintenance shop connecting to both attractions
Paused at 2:46 so I could add my guess - Toad, Peter Pan, Alice!

I distinctly remember the door opening at one point when I was working a hot dog pedal cart there and getting to peek inside to see a TON of tools and workbenches.
Toad's line is so beautiful with the willow tree and the stonework and the stained glass and wooden vaulted ceiling
Your Video is Excellent!!
Nothing better than legendary rides
Really appreciate being in the park with you and hearing your real time thought process. Great mix of park sounds and atmosphere.
Glad me and my fam got to run into you at Alice and say hi!🥰
Operation Sunlight. I’m here for it! Loved seeing you in the parks again enjoying the magic and all the crazy that comes with it!
Toad, Peter Pan, Alice. Shortest to longest. Love your channel!
"a little bit dense..." I prefer the word curious. Stay curious. These adventures are rad 🤘
Toad, Pan , Alice.
Legend
Love this area of The Park; total vibes. Expert shot selection, editing and commentary. Caught the vibes during these rides
🤣 I was fully down for operation day light! Love the excitement!!
Loved this video!! And I saw you on Best Life’s video, loved that too! 🤗
Really love these deep dive videos into the details of Disneyland. I think Fantasyland is the most beautiful and richly detailed of all the lands. Right up there with Galaxy's Edge. I hope you do more of these detailed videos!! Thanks for all your amazing content!

Amazed that Toad is that long tbh!
Toad, Pan & Alice.
Peter Pan, Mr. Toad and Alice is longest

Hey Bricky!
Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Thanks.
This video was just the MOST fun! Thank you for sharing some incredible details in such an enjoyable way! So interested to see the outcome of this refurb!
Great Video! Thank you for capturing all the small details.
I love these videos! And it’s ok if you messed up, you were too excited as I’m sure we were too 😂 Keep up the good work Brickey!
My name is Craig Dennis how are you doing today i am doing fine today i watch your new videos all the time i in joy all of your videos all the time you have a nice safe weekend and you take care today👍👍👍👍👍
I have never seen anyone’s subscriber rate rise so fast! Good job!!!
Love how you get all the perfect framing and timing for shots throughout, even on the fly. The guest monorail shot was awesome.
Hey Brickey, awesome meeting you in line for peter pan yesterday! Hope you had a great day. And thanks for making the vids. After watching your vid on Walt's main street tour knew I had to do it while I was there. It was completely worth it.
Thanks again!
I absolutely love the design deep dives. Keep it going.
Love the way you capture the details of these attractions. The detail is why we come to the park... and why we come back again and again.

I love these videos so much! What an absolutely perfect blend of creativity and commentary. Thank you for taking us along for the rides and the vibes.
Maybe some electrical upgrades needed? Could be good reason that all parts need to shut down? Bringing some stuff up to new code standards?
I’ve never understood why they didn’t bring Alice to WDW. It’s by far the best of the Fantasyland rides. But I love Snow White and Pinocchio too. Alice is my fave tho
so enjoyable
Great ride thrus! Loved discovering the mystery with you.
Peter Pan, Toads, Alice is longest is my guess.
"Stop trying to seduce me into your friendship" lol hilarious!
Really enjoyed this hybrid vlog/design video!
Loved this!
Alice is our family favorite of the three for sure. We are going for our daughters 18th birthday. She shares a birthday with Disneyland…we hope the rides are back up and running by then 🤞🏻.
I,adore these types of videos. More, more, please!
wonderful video as always, brickey! #1313
@18:52 when you point at the large doors, that is the Peter Pan ride vehicle storage area. I’ve been evac’d out there before and I was in Alice.
Great to be back to Adventures in Design. Appreciate the fascinating lesson. More please. Thanks Brickey!
I visited the park in probably 1956 and the Alice ride blew my mind when I popped outside the building, only to reenter a floor lower. But somehow Peter Pan was my childhood favorite, and remains so today.
Here is a question to all of us subs, did he do this first before his live tour??
He did! Once he was done he went live at noon!
I have been to Disneyland 5 times maybe 6 and I have never been on those 3 rides. As now that I am an older person, I think these are just my style...lOl! Let's be honest I pray that I get back to Disneyland & have a chance to ride these rides!!!
I hope you get that chance❣️ Later in the evening is a great time to experience them also. ✨
Loving this. Peter Pan ride makes my heart happy. So much nostalgia for the ride..I haven seen the movie since I was little, but the ride ❤❤ Kind of like you and Cars Land, Brickey. Thanks for this.
Toad, pan, Alice.
I believe Little Mermaid is going down at the same time. Makes me think both buildings might have the same issue. I wonder if something like the HVAC systems in both buildings got damaged from the heavy rain caused by leaky roofs.
They might not have the staff to deal with it sooner and if it is the hvac, they can’t wait later then June.
Alice also wins for me because it has that outdoor 2nd level part of it that just takes it to another level -- literally lol
Great editing and enjoyable flow! Thanks for the info on Peter Pan!
My guess is either structural like the roof or utility like hvac or electricity maintenance or upgrade.
Great job breaking it all down, Brickey! I really enjoy your analysis of all things Disneyland and the way it all connects to each other. Looking forward to more videos!
I’m guessing it’s to update the electrical, plumbing, sprinklers, heat/cooling and/or some other system. I’m pretty sure I was evacuated from Alice through those double doors.

Paused. Mr Toad, Peter Pan, and Alice longest. My Guess. Thanks for collecting the historic POV for changes.
Thank you Brickey...

Wow! Gonna be weird with half the castle closed!!! Stoked it isn't permanent. Thank YOU for the update and live action. LOVE IT! Pan is shortest and Alice is longest. No guessing, just experienced.
My guess was right! 😊
Thanks for the ride throughs Brickey!
Peter Pan, Mr. Toad, and Alice. :-)
We were so disappointed that Walt Disney World didn't have Alice. :-(
I was surprised that Pan was longer than Toad, but I knew Alice was the longest.
Toad, Peter Pan, Alice
Answering your question before watching the rest of the video. Peter Pan is the shortest running de with the longest wait. Alice is the longest. Toad is a drop longer than Pete and Toad is my favorite Fantasyland ride. My guesses. I’ll unpause now.
Mr. Toad’s wild ride, Peter Pan’s Flight, Alice in Wonderland.
Peter Pan, Mr Toad, Alice
So I have a friend who is in maintenance and he said it’s just lighting and won’t be closed long
So great to hear. Once again I love your work. Thanks for all your insight on your podcasts.
Thanks for the video
Great adventure and fun. Thanks for showing all the before shots and the great vibes along the way.
5:20 Shortest is Peter, then 🐸 Toad, then Alice
Possible Fire supression sytem update or inspection? Not sure if they use a Simplex system but it the only thing that makes sense.
Shortest: Alice, Middle: Toad's, Longest: Peter Pan
Luv your style
Toad, Pan, Alice
My guess is pan, toad, Alice. I’ve never been on Peter Pan though!
Seems like the 3 rides closing in Fantasyland is a play to keep Splash Mountain open, to delay the “refurbishment”.
This is a really interesting and cool deep dive video! Keep up the great work! 😃👍🏼
Mr Toad, Alice, Peter Pan
i miss these disneyland vids
Enjoyed the Vid😀
Great investigative work.
I love how you put the puzzle together 👍
I really enjoyed video and definitely had fun.
Kinetic Energeeeee 😂

Great video! Could they be working on storm water management?
