I've been saying this forever! They know very little about Disneyland for people that go there all the time.

We go every other year and keep up to date on everything that's going on. I know the name of all the rides, and when there are closures and refurbishments. Bryan and Missy always seem surprised by changes, and couldn't understand why the Avengers characters were there Image

Then again, Bryan also calls himself a "Star Wars fan" and we all know he probably hasn't even seen the movies, and only started banging that drum when he was trying to fit in with Chris Porillo. Always posing.... always.

Plaids only get you into the Fastpass line. Not exactly Front of the Line. The irony is that at DL, if you are experienced (like B&M should be) you really shouldn't have to stand in lines longer than 20 minutes most of the time.

I think they pay for the plaid to keep "undesirables" away. Can't be rubbing elbows with the littler people.

What the hell is the big attraction with Disneyland? Not just with them, but with a lot of adults. Hell, some even get married there! I'm not American so is it some sort of cultural thing I'm missing?

Things I loved today:
- Ollie cracking up about the "pack you up" joke. It's pretty cool to see him starting to make jokes -- it shows intellectual and linguistic development. Nice, man.
- Finn and Karma. My god that kid is cute. I don't know what you are going on about saying he needs to get a haircut -- I love his hair and I'll be sad when it goes. My brother had hair a lot like Finn's and he was probably almost two before my mom could bear to cut it.
- Ollie's excitement at having Peyton AND Jackson in the same spot. He was just mindblown. Of course -- much of that was amped up by the adults , but it was still pretty cute. On a side note, can you imagine how awful to be anyone else who just happened to be in that little store or whatever? all that yelling and ... ughhhhh ...

Things I could-not-even-with today:
- Bryan's weird I'm-being-funny-but-not-really boasting about how good he is at the Buzz Lightyear ride. Wtf is that even about? He's genuinely proud of his performance at something that he gets to do all the time.
- His inability to remember whether he and Jared have ever been to Disneyland together before. Huh? It's not like you obsessively document your days or anything.
- "And here's the closet where we're going to put Finn ... you'd think we're joking but we're not ..." For all his Harry Potter watching, you'd think Bryan would have figured out that the Dursleys are NOT sympathetic characters. They're not Voldemort and his merry band of Death Eaters ... but they're not the good guys, dude.
- Peyton and Liv both being blatantly freaked out by Jackson's aggressive hugging. And all the "give so-and-so a hug!" that you see in both families' vlogs so constantly. It just got me all sad about how these kids have just absolutely no bodily autonomy or sense of privacy and boundaries ... and I'm really nervous about how they're going to grow up.

It's really fun and "magical." It's about so much more than just the rides. That said, most of what B&M do aw the rides, and they seem to do very little if the extra magical things.

For me, an admittedly anxious person, I like it because it's clean/tidy and happy. It's a great place to people watch, and to see happy families enjoying time together. Even at its busiest, I can find it relaxing because I don't feel like there is anything to worry about. They have the best customer service in the world, and everything is ordered, organized and clear. There is even an escort to follow the ducks that live there as they roam around to keep people from hurting them! When we go, my kids are beyond happy to be there, which then makes us feel like the best parents in the world. The magic isn't in the rides though, but in the "extras" like fireworks, parades, pop up parties, shows, characters, etc . All the things B&M seem to miss.

It's just a beautiful place.... even if the "perfect happiness" is manufactured.

I think Disney just does things really well - it's like no other experience you would have at another theme park. They truly go above and beyond and immerse you in the experience, and there are things that appeal to all age groups (even the adults!). The little details that they work into the experience are pretty cool - like, they pump scents in to different areas of the parks, and the park and ride designers work "hidden Mickeys" into the attractions for people to find. Little the things like that that are sort of the icing on the cake. There's a lot of creativity that goes into it all, and, like I said, you are just totally immersed in the "world of Disney" while you are there.

I don't have much experience with Disneyland, but Disney World (in Orlando) is enormous - it's a city in itself! So I think that it part of the fascination, too. My family is always amazed at the efficiency of it all, and just how the "magic" is created. I am an adult WDW fanatic, and for me personally, a lot of the attraction is that I grew up going there with extended family, and it just holds a lot of good memories. So, I guess that's my take on it - it's just an experience that is unlike anything else, and Disney just does everything really well.

Ahhh! Gotcha! Makes more sense now. My only experience with Disneyland is what I've seen DB experience on their older vlogs and given your description of disney, they don't seem to showcase the place very well.

Same. I totally get why for people with kids it's wonderful and magical, but I am totally weirded out by grown up people who are still really into the whole magic aspect of it. Like ... people who have Disney themed weddings or single folk who have "Someday my prince will come" prints hanging in their living rooms and stuff, people who buy expensive Beauty and the Beast tea sets for their wives for Easter ... I just don't get it. It's weird in the way that Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch was weird. I still enjoy nostalgically watching old Disney movies, but I don't, like, yearn for the magic or anything.

I've been to Disney World three times -- 5th grade (perfect age); 9th grade (dance company trip -- also a great age and super fun to go on as a field trip with no parents, only a handful of adult chaperones); and once when I was about 28 (right when the first Harry Potter park opened up -- but since it was such a far trip for me & my friends, we spent a day at the Magic Kingdom and another at Epcot). While it was definitely a cool experience (for all the reasons HelloSweetie pointed out), it was definitely just kind of weird for me, too. I was like "No ... I don't really want to high five random characters" and I was just so grossed out by the stores upon stores upon stores upon stores. It's like 60% theme park, 40% massive Disney Store.

Now -- I totally get why DB and the Johnsons invest in the season passes (and I think they got CJ and Bailey season passes for Christmas, which is super sweet and really generous). If you've got kids who are at the age where it's still a really magical experience (and honestly I think that except for Liv they're all a little young for it to be a truly worthwhile investment) -- and you can take advantage of lots of dates -- and you have lots of money to spare ... it makes a lot of sense. The Johnsons will often just pop in for a morning and go on one or two rides each time and I'm like "ahh ... smart!" But I do wonder -- when I got to go at age 10 (my brother was 6), it was really awesome. One of the best parts, though, was spending MONTHS anticipating the trip -- and then it was FINALLY time to go. It was really special! While it's cost-effective if these kids go at least once a month ... doesn't that spoil some of the anticipation and magic of it all?

I think some adults are fascinated with Disney because they grew up with the movies, but couldn't necessarily afford to go to Disney as a kid. If I ever get to go to Disney, I'll probably flip because I love the movies and I never went as a kid.

Ollie won't be fascinated by it as an adult. It will basically be like going to some neighborhood park to him.

I personally think it's ridiculous how often the Johnsons and the Lumps go to Disneyland, partly because even if you have a pass, you still have to pay for food, and they always buy crap. Plus, as we've said so many times, Ollie is already jaded and completely unimpressed. There's no "magic" in it for him. At all. And that's sad.
I think they just go so often for the whole #parentinggoals thing, and for vlog footage. All the minions are seething with envy that they get to go so often. And of course, there's the whole "we're giving ourselves everything we were denied in our own childhoods" aspect.

I'm an American and I don't get it either. I've never been a big theme park fan though or into rides though. I enjoy Disney movies, but I much rather go to the beach or elsewhere than to Disneyland or Disney World etc. That's just my opinion and I am sure many people don't agree with it. I don't get how it's so magical either. lol

It's the Pillsbury Dough Boy - holy cow BryLard start running around your property to lose some weight!! How is he letting himself get this big, and with all that land there is no excuse he could take private jogs and not have anyone laugh at him...except for us hahahaha

Ollie falls asleep in the car all the time because the kid doesn't have a proper sleep schedule - they just leave him in the playroom for him to pass out at midnight all the time, but Finn is shoved in his dungeon at 7pm all the time...how does this work exactly?? The screamfest at Disney was just insane - like people were staring at them and Liv and Pey looked really uncomfortable.

Watching Bryan and Missy watch and encourage Ollie to jump on the hotel beds made me wonder, does everyone allow their kids to do that? Jump on hotel beds?
Also Ellie posted on Instagram story the boys playing tag. All 4 boys were running through flower beds. At one point, it looks like Ollie basically walked on some flowers. Not one of the parents said anything.

Nope, I don't let my kids jump on beds. Or run through flowers.
