Disney should be embarrassed they cast North West as Young Simba for Lion King’s 30th anniversary concert at the Hollywood Bowl. There are dozens of talented kids who are currently playing the roles of Young Simba & Nala all over the world let alone the other kids who auditioned
Umm Tiana’s Bayou Adventure looks phenomenal. Every single scene has so much depth & life and that finale is so grand! Oh and there are more than 17 animatronics…go figure!
Voicing my opinion once: if you don’t like the mask requirement, don’t go. It’s simple. Disney parks & resort are private property. An AP doesn’t entitle you to anything. This is about safety. Main purpose of a mask is to protect others like CMs who are in contact with thousands
Somehow a real live cat made its way into Carousel of Progress at Magic Kingdom. Its well known that Disneyland has cats roaming for the 🐭 but does WDW have them too??? This was from March 2022.
New video of the "thawing" scene in Anna and Elsa's Frozen Journey at Tokyo DisneySea's Fantasy Springs. This is a masterclass in using projections to enhance animatronics. Stunning. 🤯
The resurgence of live entertainment at Walt Disney World is the work of David Duffy. He was responsible for all the incredible live entertainment in Paris. With the Little Mermaid show coming soon, Night Parade & Villains Show, I wonder what else we’ll see in 2025! Bring it on!
WOW! Here’s a look at more audio-animatronics in action for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure! They’re all so detailed & fluid. They will truly bring the story to life. Imagineers have knocked it out of the park! These are from an Imagineering series on YT called "We Call It Imagineering"
Universal Studios will have built and opened a brand new immersive Nintendo land before Disney will open a Toy Story BBQ restaurant and both started construction around the same time
Stumbled on a video of the Ursula Animatronic being loaded into the Little Mermaid ride at Magic Kingdom and it’s fascinating how they got her in there!
Normalizing more frequent ride closures for refurbs at WDW is something we all need to welcome with open arms unless we want these rides to keep falling apart. Sure it might fall during your trip but this needs to keep happening. Maintenance has been neglected for far too long
The Tiana animatronic looks incredible!! And if you peaked behind her, there’s another animatronic which looks like Eudora, Tiana’s Mom, just based on the hair style. Probably for the finale???
A lot of Disney theme park fans need to be Meuseum fans instead. The Parks will continue to evolve and change just like our own world and just like how they continuously changed when Uncle Walt was still alive.
Theme Parks aren’t meuseums.

Why can’t we get the stuff Tokyo gets in Orlando? Because OLC, who operates Tokyo Disneyland, is willing to spend all the $$$ needed to execute state of the art rides whereas in the US, execs are too busy counting pennies and slashing budgets.
@TPMvideos
Why can’t we get this in Orlando. Why are they focusing so much on Tokyo Disney, Frozen Land, New Spider-Man Roller Coaster & now this a few years ago Beauty & the Beats Ride. Give some love to Orlando.
Is it just me or is getting out of your rocket on Space Mountain at Disneyland one of the most stressful experiences ever? I was trying to rush out of my seat once that I actually tripped & face planted on the ground
Vekoma has shown off their new Suspended Dark Ride model! This cool dark ride features inverted vehicles that can tilt 20° in all directions, as well as spin a full 360°! The cars can have onboard lighting, onboard audio, and can be made into a shooting ride!

@Team_DRDB
Are we getting a Tiana animatronic on the lift hill in the barn? At MK the frogs in front of the big drop were marked as Scene 2. Scene 5 is the first indoor show scene after Slippin Falls & if the outdoor section on the top level is Scene 4, Scene 3 has to be Tiana in the barn!
No one asked for this but here’s the Tiana animatronic with more of an updo and her crown. Nothing else was changed. Hairstyles can make someone’s face look so different.
We did it!! 1 Million Subscribers!! I can’t thank you all enough!!😭This milestone wouldn’t have been possible without the support from all of you over the past 4 years. When I started the channel in 2017 I never thought I’d make it here. THANK YOU!!🙏🏻☺️✨
Name a Disney World ride that desperately needs a refurbishment to fix broken animatronics and effects in the ride. I’ll go first- Journey of the Little Mermaid
I landed from a flight to see Chapek is out and Iger is back in as CEO and I’m not gonna lie, it’s pretty exciting!! He’s much more of a creative which is what Disney needs! Now Iger remember, Epic Universe will be opening in 2025. Let’s get some epic things now at WDW!
Who remembers those travel channel specials about the Disney Parks? Or History Channel’s Modern Marvels episode. Those all got me even more intrigued about the magic of the parks. They most certainly inspired the tone of my videos on the channel!
Less than 9,000 subscribers away from 1 Million. Never in a million years did I think the channel would actually hit it. Thank you to all of you. The road to 1M is so close now
Kylo Ren on Rise of the Resistance is not the Wicked Witch from GMR. Disney told media outlets there are three humanoid A-1000 figures on the ride and the Wicked Witch was only an A100. The two Kylos and Hux are the A1000 animatronics!
Splash Mounatin gives Imagineers 10+ minutes to tell Princess Tiana’s amazing story. These long ride times are rare in modern day Disney, so we’re even luckier. More Princess and the Frog than if it was a brand new ride!
How much of the scenery in Splash Mountain do we think will be reused for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure if any at all? The newest piece of concept art and the scene from the ride will take place in roughly the same spot.
According to some, TPMvids is subpar clickbait content but I like to think otherwise. Thank you to everyone else who still supports the channel and continues to watch! Without you the channel wouldn’t be where it is now😁
The last time I was at Magic Kingdom I went to Tom Sawyer Island to grab some “what’s beyond big thunder mountain” shots never thinking that I was standing on it. These views will be missed
Not enough people appreciate Finding Nemo the Musical. It was the closest thing to a full scale Broadway musical at WDW. If you aren’t a fan of the show then you must not be a musical theatre fan because the show is phenomenal in every way possible!
The Toy Story characters new looks are appearing on the Disney Cruise Line! Old look is on the right. These need to make their way to the US parks asap!
Disney needs to pay Cast Members a fair livable wage. Frontline Cast Members are the backbone of the Disney Parks & without them, there’s no magic. Zero. Nothing. They ARE the magic & it’s about time Disney steps up to the plate & treats them like it.
Walt Disney World really needs to do frequent 1-3 week ride closures for maintenance and upkeep. This means people’s vacations will be “ruined”because “x” ride is closed but these closures need to be normalized or else we’ll keep seeing declining ride quality in the US
Remember that hidden WDI in the hilly mountains of the old ToonTown backdrop, well Imagineering hid a new WDI in the backdrop for Walt Disney Imagineering! Do you see it?!
Did you know the Clara Cluck float in the Boo To You Parade was originally a Dumbo float that dates all the way back to the Dumbo Circus Parade in 1979!
2025 will completely change the theme park landscape in Orlando and I can’t wait to see Universal succeed. So many more families will be spending most if not their entire vacation now at Universal. If you don’t think people’s Disney days will be cut back, think again.
If Disney isn’t commissioning the build of a new animatronic Dragon for Fantasmic, there is no reason it should take a year for the show to return. B mode should have at least been used for the busy summer months then it could have debuted with the new effects in Spring 2024.
Disney will do everything possible with the Imagination Pavilion & Figment aside from actually announcing a total reimagining and refurb of Journey Into Imagination.
It’s wild that in 2017 when I first started TPMvids Disney announced Tron at D23 that year. Now 5 years later in 2022, another D23 has passed and they’re STILL building the ride which isn’t even opening until Spring 2023.
NEW: Tiana's Bayou Adventure will include "several Tiana animatronics" and will feature the same style of advanced Audio-Animatronics used in World of Frozen at Hong Kong Disneyland, Disney confirmed to

Well there it is, Walt Disney World will be closed beginning March 16th until the end of the month. This will be the longest the parks have ever been closed, but it’s definetly for the better and safety of everyone
NEW: Starting July 24, you'll be able to book Lightning Lanes BEFORE you arrive at Walt Disney World. Genie+ will become Lightning Lane Multi Pass and Individual Lightning Lane will change to Lightning Lane Single Pass. Here’s what you need to know 🧵:
My hopeful predication: Soarin’ Over California will stay at Epcot until at least January. In December Disney will shoot a new finale scene with World Celebration🤞🏼 and when Soarin’ Around the World returns, it will be what Epcot currently looks like. Wishful thinking.
The 30th at Disneyland Paris was far better executed than the 50th at Walt Disney World. Both had slashed budgets but DLP figured out a way to still make it feel like an anniversary celebration.
The channel just passed another huge milestone🙏🏻😭 Thank you for 600k subscribers!! I say this every milestone but I never thought TPMvids would get to where it is today. So glad it’s able to bring a little theme park magic into your homes✨
Talking Doug is very impressive! He’s a great addition to the character lineup for Pixar Fest! More of these interactive character experiences should be available in the parks
At this point there’s no reason why Disney can’t announce a hard date for the return of the Walt Disney World Railroad. “This Holiday Season” is too vague. Could be today, tomorrow, September, Spring, Summer. We’ll never know.
The new Tangled dark ride in Tokyo looks STUNNING. Again further proof that WDI is still capable of delivering immersive E ticket quality dark rides when given a proper budget
After scrubbing through the Imagineering episode again, I noticed this box with “child Anna” molds. Looks like the Frozen ride in Tokyo is getting a young Anna & presumably young Elsa animatronics!
Well it’s real! Splash Mountain at DL & WDW will be re-themed to Princess and the Frog! We’ll follow Princess Tiana and Louis on a musical journey as they get ready for their first Mardi Gras performance. No dates given but Disney says they’ve been working on it since last year!
Could this mean a new Soarin’ finale is coming to Epcot? There’s a super short clip from the Imagineering episode showing some Soarin programming. Just happens to be the final frames before it transitions into Epcot….🤔
Remember that all the cast members in the parks creating magic today for you and your families are working instead of being with their families celebrating Thanksgiving. Be thankful for these cast members!
After watching a daytime POV of Tiana’s Bayou Adventure, I can confidently say Disney made a terrible decision releasing a nighttime POV this weekend with a locked camera. Also in other videos, the indoor scenes in the Bayou don’t look as dark as Disney’s.
