    "There was a problem with the circus performers. They would drink, gamble, and walk around naked." So, circus performers then?
  • @picklesthewise
    Okay but the "dark" Sinbad ride is so technologically impressive and kids who are older might think it's cool. If they had just put an age limit on the ride, maybe it could have stayed. And now that I know there could have been dragons in Disneyland, I am so disappointed there aren't.
  • @CocoHutzpah
    That dragon really is impressive. It's a shame it isn't used for something.
  • This is a tiny little thing, but people need to learn to NEVER mention an actual year if they're trying to show a sci-fi version of the future.
  • @brentparker7359
    I never saw Light Magic, but this is how it was described to me by someone who did: "The floats stop and they dance, then they jump off the floats and they dance and then they jump back on the floats and they dance some more."
  • @rosenrot234
    I only remember one thing with the whole Light Magic thing. The Pixies at one point ask kids to join them in the street to dance. Well I ended up being one of those kids. I remember the pixie dancing with me eventually dropped some glitter or confetti onto my hand so we kept it.
  • @GreyWouldBe
    I actually have insight on the flying dragon! So the history of the dragon came from a Disney imagineer who didn't work on it directly but worked adjacent to it. They created a special 3D printing machine for the UV reactive filament, The patent was for a experimental airplane officially, and it was in development for 5 years. Disney management decided that instead of spending another 1 to 2 years trying to complete the project, which would center around making the dragon less delicate, so it could reliably fly for multiple weekly shows, The project was terminated. The dragon flew once, they evaluated the wear and tear from that flight and shelved the dragon. The decision ultimately was that too much money had been sunk into it for the payoff, they just weren't willing to put A few more years of money into it. I remember seeing some video of it that absolutely brought tears to my eyes, it was a magical piece of engineering and hopefully someday they'll decide to take it out of the Disney vault and let the imagineers complete the ambitious dragon.
  • @trinketsmusings
    Light Magic is a perfect example of what happens when corporate suits believe they can get creative. Horrific river dancing pixies.
  • Omg the guy begging for the dragon to come back is hysterical. Also I love the electrical parade and wish it was more common! The last parade I saw was Magic Happens, in March of last year. It’s so beautiful! The electrical parade was moved to California adventure after a while, then it had a second farewell. Stop dangling it in front of me.
  • I'm glad they changed the name. "Tinker Bell's Night Magic" sounds like a strip club
  • @LE672AJ
    I can’t imagine being in the tent way back then when the circus gal’s top flew off. The rush to cover kids’ eyes must have been comical.
  • @Yui714
    I love the birthday cake castle. It was my first trip to Disney World after a couple Disneyland trips as a kid. It makes the anniversary instantly recognizable and memorable. Blew my mind as a kid to see the castle as a GIANT cake. Honestly, for a kid, it was a lot more fun than some boring castle.
  • @ien2023
    What did we learned? 1. You can thank the parents for G rated the Sinbad ride. 2. Disney should learn not to follow fads. 3. The wrong CEO can f$$CK up a classic night time parade. 4. Clowns are banned from Disneyland 5. Don't make a castle into a cake. 6. Tourist complain a lot.
  • @glamourousbrat
    this channel is fr one of the most underrated ones and deserves sm more attention
  • @TylerRakstis
    That was pretty quick, you did a video on McDonaldland, and now your back to more Disney Park history.
  • @xpandorasboxx
    The overlays for the castles honestly sound fucking awesome. Sure you wouldn't get to take your "dream picture" with a run of the mill photo, but instead you would get a photo that would end up being extremely rare, actually one of a kind! It would've been neat to go out to the park on the anniversaries to get photos with the different overlays
  • @alexbunny._.
    Imagine how nervous the people were in light magic I mean like the actors/people who are in it :/ they have must of been nervous and had so much pressure it was literary the first dress rehearsal and like 100 or more people watching them and then saying it was horrible they must have been embarrassed
  • @gracewsho
    I don’t understand people complaining about the castle’s overlays. Wouldn’t that just make it more special, since it’s a limited edition? I’d be thrilled. I also think they’re really pretty and well done.
  • My parents were actually at that pass holder preview event for light magic. They don’t remember much, but they told me about it a little while ago before I’d heard about it online. Said it was an absolute mess. Think it’s pretty cool they were able to witness such an infamous mess, lol.
  • Alex Trebek (RIP) gave quite the diplomatic statement there lol. I wish I could have seen the circus setup; I love creepy clowns
