Hello everyone, we are here at Disneyland's California Adventure.

Who willing rider?

Yes, let's talk rides.

Have you done any rides yet?

I have done nothing yet, done nothing because.

I didn't know we could get here earlier.

But Will's been here since what ten?

Yeah, like eleven o'clock this morning.

Goofy Sky School.

No, I like my sen to So I did not do the Goofy Sky School, but I did everything else did off Space Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain.

I can't do the other one because I don't do motion simulators that don't do well with me.

So that one where you're flying the Millennium Falcon, no, oh, you're missing out.

It's fun.

Yeah, I've heard it's good.

But frankly it's kind of a cheat because that's not what flying the Millennium Falcon is like.

It's very different.

Than Okay, of course, you have you done anything.

I've not done anything.

No, but I like hearing about you guys doing it.

That's one of my favorite parts.

The best part about Disneyland, I think is the atmosphere.

Honestly, I agree with.

And that's why the rides are so much better than other parks is because their sense of atmosphere.

Like yeah, like Pirates of the Caribbean is not much of a rude, but it's the best.

It's just the best because it's Ristmas haunted mess.

It's pretty great, I know, but but being here during the holidays is amazing.

Like just I mean, I haven't done anything yet, but just walking through.

It ends with Santa Yeah, the parade.

Yeah, this was a great day so far.

So will that.

I'm happy to hear you say that.

Do you think that maybe today makes up for not going to Disney World?

No, this is not even close.

Even the day I'm standing at Disney World with a big fat apology from everybody from thirty years ago the Dolphin.

Then we'll talk about the dolphin.

I want Stacy Keaton going to You want Debbie.

Dunning swimming through the water coming out.

It'll be fine, but I want an apology.

No, absolutely makes well.

I'm sure you guys remember that this is the location of my famous date where then I got grounded for an entire month of my life after it was worth coming to Disneyland and being here and staying until midnight and experiencing everything the park had to offer was worth me.

Just completely ignoring my mother's advice.

You need to though my mother, I just she said you will be home by ten, and I said, you got it, and then just stay.

You know, as you were sitting there like going on rides and stuffy like I'm dead, like she's gonna kill me when.

I get home.

Because I remember, here's what I really remember thinking that was so naive, was well, I don't have to tell him that I need.

I think actually she gave me until eleven, okay, And I was like, I don't think I need to tell him that I have to be home by eleven.

But maybe by the time it gets to be that time, we'll just be.

Ready to go anyway, you know, and I'll just be able to say things like.

Whoa wait a minute.

So he didn't know no.

Through everybody, I just said, you know, to heck with you guys, I'm at Disneyland.

I'm having fun.

And we stayed until midnight.

And then is this the most rebellious thing you did?

The most rebellious thing?

How old are you at this, boy?

I was fourteen fourteen?

Oh yeah, your mom just gets a call, like you have.

A call from somebody on the Mickey jail will you accept from Danielle?

Yes, if you're press goofy.

She was paging me nine one one and I was just conorious, literally ignoring it.

I will never live that one down.

But it does not get much better than Disneyland.

At Christmas time, you said you haven't been here in a long time.

Been here at night forever?

Because the last I went was with Will two years ago.

You were here for the holidays.

Someone was here for the holidays was when we were on Boy Wow.

Because during Boy Means World they would shut down the park for employees only for like a whole week, right, it was every night after five pm they would shut the park down and only open it to Disney employees and you'd get a collector ornament.

Do you have your ornaments?

I wish I had kept do your parents?

I think so?

Of course, Will?

What do you know this man?

I still have everything.

Yeah, I feel like they might be at your parents house.

You know, they might be.

They're probably still in the bedroom that hasn't been touched.

At your parents house.

Maybe they could be under the swords and hats.

I think you're joking.

But there are books, the D and D books, That's what it is.

Lots of journ like one entry dear guld be good about it.

On TV show Show No writer famously pretended to sleep on the Splash Mountain.

Sure in our Disney World episode, But if you had to sleep on one Disneyland ride, which ride would you choose to sleep on?

I after the big drop on Pirates of the After Pirates.

Yeah it's nice reason.

Yeah, you could be that little town areas.

Although if do you have to listen to the same song over and over?

Yeahy no, oh yo.

I got stuck on Pirates for forty five minutes when I was a kid.

This it was whistling part with the whistling for the dog reason listening.

Remember, I still have flashbacks, God whistle over.

I would sleep on Rise.

To walk through it all.

Well yeah, well I would just grab one of the Stormtrooper costumes, pop into that and curl up somewhere no one even knows it.

We had it better.

I told you we had a We had a better person this time, because the last time we had the person that we're like, we're so into it and there you rebel scum and then the wall opens.

Up and the woman comes back.

I was like, Hi, I'm Kathy, I'm part of the resistance.

So today it was like they were into it today.

My Adler.

The first time he went on it, Adler was like, why are they asking me to lie?

I have to tell.

Them the first one to crack because Adler's there, Tyler ran All of a sudden, it takes on a little protege like the Saddler he's my friend now, Like what that's the dark side you're with?

Brow was like, I got it and serial number everybody knows that.

Okay, which Disney characters do you think best represent us?

Three?

Each of us?

I don't know.

I felt was about to say the same thing, and I really am I that much of a dinner guys?

My god?

Yeah, because if it was Sesame Street, you'd be stuffle up against high Bird.

You guys suck.

You're already Disneyland for me?

And now.

Are you Goofy?

I could be Goofy.

I guess Goofy.

So I know this is from kind of I was watching it today in the parade.

Pluto's Mickey's dog, yeah, and he can't speak.

Yeah, but Goofy's a dog and has a family.

This is this is.

All the famous lines to stand by me.

What the hell is Goofy?

Right?

Yeah, okay, you.

Have to let it go.

Just let it go.

Okay.

When you come to Disneyland, what are some of your food must have?

Like, I am absolutely every single time I must have a churo and the doll Whip.

The whip is the one I've heard.

What you mean what I heard it?

You guys are missing out.

So Dole Whip is a Dole company.

The Pineapple Company makes Pineapple soft serve and they have it near Jungle Cruise and you they make Pineapple upside down cake with Dole Whip soft.

Serve on.

The middle.

Get credible.

One of the.

I won.

You have to get a.

Side down Sunday that they had when I was here about a month ago, has caramel on it, upside down cake, the doll it's to difault.

I think this was the first I ever had in my life, and I thought it was the only place you could get churros for a long time.

Yeah, because like the.

Others, for you, well here to speak about some of the holiday treats.

Let's please chat with our Disneyland rep.

Yeah.

What a better place to be for the holidays, and right here in Disney.

Thank you so much for being here.

Thank you for having us.

This is incredible.

We're looking around.

You can smell the food, We see the lights, the music.

It's all coming to life.

Not only are we celebrating the holidays in a big way, we're celebrating seventy years of the Disneyland resort.

Yeah, and just like any good celebration, any good party, we need good food.

Right absolutely, right here in front of us, we have the fluffer Nutter churros.

You're just talking about churros, and they probably spoil you for any other turro anywhere in the world.

These were such a viral sensation last year that they had to come back.

We're gonna try them.

We're gonna try not to chew on fluffer.

There's shippers, a little bit of everything.

Wow, wow, what are you feeling?

Content and light?

The peanut butter, well, that's what it is, peanut butter.

It's a fluffer nutter.

You never had a fluffer nutter peanut butter and fluff sandwich.

No, marshall not available on the West Coast when it was called marshmallow cream.

Here, fluff is the way to go.

That's delicious.

Do you try all the food?

That's what I want to know.

What I'm I'm working my way through the entire menu this year.

We have ninety new items just for the season.

What just for this season?

Nighty new items And here's a little bit of an insider.

Insider uh, tidbit.

I guess you're all very familiar with Disney But did you know that we have our own bakery on site that produces so many of these baked goods, including the sticky toffee macaroon that's in front.

Of us right now, sticky.

If you ever hear the rumors of a secret Disneyland bakery, it does exist.

People singing and like baking and the thing.

Oh it's it's a top secret.

Really good.

I know that is really incredible.

I see that you have brought us another delicious treat.

Yeah, that comes from from the bakery.

That's a sticky toffee macaroon.

See okay, so you said macaroon, and I had been told it was a macarn And there is a difference magnitude.

Macaran is the French one that has a coconut.

That is, that's the one.

I don't like.

The macarone don't like.

Okay, so this is the macaroons are amazing.

Okay, it's not just a pronunciation difference.

No, it's a different thing.

It's completely different.

I don't even know how to eat that.

No, just bite the ear, it will break it.

I've already had the delight of trying it.

Just take a big bite.

But there's here's the thing.

There is sticky toffee in there, so you have to bite in far enough.

Chick a bite of that one.

See how the sticky toffy is coming out of the ear.

See how the sticky to off he's coming out of between the cookie and the cream.

Now you don't have to bite as far because I can tell you're already getting some of the sticky top experts.

What else if you try around the park that you've enjoyed.

Well, I've only been here for right now, so I'm trying this.

Yeah, look that's a maca room.

I don't want to.

Here's a great thing is that all these snacks, even though they're for a limited time, they come in a great size they can easily share with a friend, family.

That's what the hollidays are about.

We want to make sure that our guests are bringing their loved ones and making these incredible memories with with everybody.

You know.

So if you had to tell somebody who walked on to the park, they say, I can only eat one thing while I'm here.

It doesn't matter sweet, it doesn't matter savory, And I'm only allowed to eat one thing.

What do you tell them?

What's your number one?

And you know why, because our chef and our culinary team takes such care of every single recipe.

They will go to the part of the world where that recipe is from and makes that it's authentic.

So when it's served in our theme part, be it a dish that celebrates Kwansadwali Navi that Christmas, it's authentic to like if you went to your grandma's house.

I didn't even know they had to my list here.

Oh yeah, yeah, And this will give me away a little bit, honestly.

And here's where I make the connection.

I remember the episode where Tembanga spent the holidays at Cory's house and she brought her traditions over.

You know, don't necessarily go so well.

But but this is like that episode.

We have the Festival of Holidays here at Disney California Adventure that celebrates all of these different traditions that make up who we are as a culture in Southern California.

So you get a little bit of everything, diverse food, musical acts, food, entertainments.

I mean a little bit of everything.

I think writer is going to love the coffee bevery.

The cold you like to try.

Sure, this is yeah, that was mine.

But if you don't mind, that's just you know that was mine.

Here at the park and we arrived.

We'll get you a freshman.

There's behind the.

There are okay, so I'm not making it.

Up, thank you.

Well, remember we talked about how I know exactly I do.

Do you want a straw?

There's a straw back there.

If we just swayed in one second, can you hand him your face.

And your pants and everywhere else there?

You go?

All right, you're gonna love that.

Now yours gonna drink it?

Now?

A little bit of cinnamon?

Is it?

Coffee?

Yeah?

So I grew up seeing my family make this in a big plot with cinnamon and coffee.

Really yummy.

It's sweet.

So you can take a little bite.

I want to make sure you get take a bite of that.

I'm okay, okay, already felling up.

But it's exactly how I would imagine it would be at home.

Right.

This is this is what it's all about, making authentic and bringing it to where so many of our guests from around the world can see it.

We've got over five hundred acres here, a theme park that Walt Disney had a hand in developing right across the way.

So there's so much heritage and so much history right here at Disneyland Resort.

So because it's oh, thank you, that's seventieth anniversary, there must be some pretty big celebrations planned.

Oh yeah, yeah.

So just because it's a holiday season doesn't mean that we pause on the seventieth celebration.

Right, We've got incredible merchandise, incredible entertainment.

The World of Color show that's about to the show tonight, A World of Color Happiness has over one thousand different fountains that shoot water fifty feet into the air, creates these giant, massive water screens.

It's so funny.

And the cool thing is that it's interactive, so you at home can download the Disneyland app not only start planning your visit looking at the things you want to do, but once you get here, you can actually pick who the host of the show is.

It's one of the five emotions from inside out.

So you got a part.

You play a part in the interactivity of these shows too.

That's really cool.

Right.

Tomalaw's throw it at you again, got it?

He comes to you and says, I can have one meal, you got the tomorrow's and I can only go on one ride.

What's the ride you tell them.

To go on?

You just mentioned it, the Hounted Mansion Holidays.

There you go because it's for a limited time only, and you get the you know, Jack Skellington and Sally bringing that story to life in that classic Disney attraction.

Fun fact you mentioned the Magic Kingdom.

That attraction, the Honey Mansion Holiday is only available here at the Disneyland Resort.

So for everyone watching and listening from around the world, the Disneyland Resort has that exclusive attraction for the holiday season.

And I heard it takes almost a month to decorate it.

Yeah.

Yeah, it's crazy.

It's a complete makeover of the attraction, every animatronic, every scene, the music, it all changes.

Wow, that's really cool.

Yeah, so much fun.

Jan thank you so much.

Yeah, thank you giving us.

An education and some of the holiday treats.

Enjoy the holiday.

Yes, thank you for letting us be here.

Three best friends who used to come here together as children, now as adults eating their way.

Through the park.

So true.

All right, let's find it ride asleep in all.
