Bonus video: Efteling Haul

Good eating for patrons this month, yum yum

Bonus video: Efteling Haul

Comments

I think this is the most on topic video to comment this under: we have two theme parks (?) in Germany called Pullman City. They are a western townn. I had to think about it when you talked about: Ghost Town Alive (in Germany they don't have a clever story about why they have the same parade each day but well). Also if you decide to visit the one in Bayern already burned down earlier this year so maybe your curse won't strike them since it already happened

Ariane Uden

Absolutely love this video! Can we pretty please get the Efteling video.

Kotah

I really wanted to see the Efteling video again, there was a Efteling video right? Going trough the comments made me less sure xD

Tom Uithol

There was an efteling video, I wanna see it T.T

Liyenne Hagenberg

Also here wondering where the efteling video went

Esteban Parker

Where's the efteling video? It's gone

seahorse advisor

I turned 50 this year and damn... pack outfits! Yes! Why am I 50 years old before I hear this?

Harry Dewulf

Oh btw "Indische Waterlelies" means "Water lilies from the Dutch Indies", not "Indian water lilies".

Tence Bakpao

Jenny speaking Dutch.... now my life is complete!

Tence Bakpao

I love the music boxes!

Tzivia Kleinbart

I grew up twenty minutes from Toverland (and maybe an hour away from Efteling) so it was very fun and nostalgic to see this haul. A fun detail I noticed is that the final song you played from the Toverland soundtrack is sung with a pretty thick local accent. You can tell the guy that sung it is from Sevenum (or close to it, at least) specifically, which is such a fun touch? It makes it sound kinda homemade in a very charming way. I will also now have the song for Carnaval Festival stuck in my head for the rest of the day thanks to your music box. That song is infamously annoying. Really looking forward to your Efteling video.

Quinn Z

There's one ride dedicated to Max and Moritz, and hey have toned down the story significantly... meaning, it doesn't end in their gruesome death. The park just took the idea of two mischievous kids and built a small ride surrounding that idea. The surrounding area is nicely decorated in the 'cute German village' theme. The queue and the ride itself were created with the idea in mind that it's something crafted by Max and Moritz themselves, while pulling pranks and engaging in other shenanigans. It's colourful and fun.

Fem Schaeffer

As someone who grew up living 15 minutes away from this park and used to go every weekend, it's amazing and very nostalgic to see you talk about it in such a positive way, and I'm very much looking forward to the full Efteling video! I don't know if you are planning to include a section where you get a perspective from people who work at the park, but I know a lot of people who either work there or used to work there. It is a very popular job among teens because you could get free access to the park and a discount for friends.

Fem Schaeffer

pardoes looks like mr mime 😭

michael

thank you for playing the music box jenny that was lovely

michael

I cannot believe you did not recognise the fairytale tree on the kitchen towel 😆

AnKo .

i want a park review so bad 😭

Jupiter Foxx Monroe

I went to Eftaling in 2006. I thought it was pretty delightful. I didn’t buy any souvenirs though. I love the unicorn and the dragons you bought.

Laura Robles

it's taken me forever to watch this but this made me feel better about my own theme park merch hauls (though i didn't really get anything from efteling, sadly)

TalysAlankil

jenny have you been to the enchanted forest in oregon????? it gives me these vibes but on like a miniscule scale

Jaiden Cirioli

You might be able to use that Toverland magic sensor wand in the Wizarding World, the technology isnt that complicated

Caitlin Dunsmoor

I love how Jenny expressed confusion over the fact that the father of the jester princess is not a jester, implying that jester-dom(?) is a dominant genetic condition, passed from generation to generation.

Ella M

I love the jester princess

Itır Muki Kozikoğlu

Are you still going to do a separate Movie Park video on patreon or would that not work because they didn’t let you film?

cookie 9028

Jenny you have to try and use that wand at Universal

Kyleigh Archer

THE TWINKLE TORCH IS GIVING SO MUCH OF THE TALISMAN FROM HALLOWEENTOWN

Jack Avalon

Your estate sale is going to be wild. <3

Courtney Sheffield

This makes me want to convince my siblings we should all go to Efteling together.

Anna O.

Yes, all the staff spoke English to some degree and most written media (menus, the plaques explaining stories in the fairytale forest) had English translations underneath. The dark rides are mostly visual storytelling but new ones like Symbolica will throw in an English line now and then. The only things where language might be an issue were the shows Raveleijn and the children's shows in the fairytale forest but I did learn enough Dutch to roughly understand the puppet show for babies lol. Tbh I'd recommend it over a disney park at this time, especially if it's cheaper. Disney has made it so you basically have to book rides, but booking them is a nightmare and also now costs extra. We did Efteling in one of their busiest summer weeks and never waited more than 30 minutes for anything by just being strategic about what time of day we rode (the app helps by showing crowd prediction graphs)

Jenny Nicholson

hi! I wanted to ask, was the park still as enjoyable as an english speaker? I am in the UK and I want to experience a big "themed" park, getting to Efteling is a lot cheaper than flying to the US, would you recommend the trip? Thanks! I'm really looking forward to the rest of you video :)

Wanda Roslyn

Oh my god my BF would really love that wolf hat. Can you tell me how to spell the things you mentioned?

Andrew van Baarsen

This is one of my fave rambles. This one has so much fun info and enthusiasm ☺️

🫰 jeanette rankin is my bias 🫰

Highly recommend Kubo and the Two Strings! I saw it in the cinema and a couple of mum’s with their kids left because they were too spooked. Advertising for it was really misleading

Bridie Cox

I wish more US theme parks focused on these original characters instead of just dumping a bunch of IP's in one location.

JupiterBee

The icon you didn't recognize in the center of the red and white plaid is the Fairytale Tree!

plz put this name after 'plz put this name last thx jenny' thx jenny

Also, "toveren" is the act of doing magic, magic and enchantment both have different words (magie and betovering). Toverstaf is a magic wand, because it's the wand that can perform magic, Toverland would be the land where magic is performed. People also often say "magische toverstaf", because magie and toveren are decidedly different words.

Clara

The anniversary plates are from Blonde Amsterdam, they have a lot of fun stuff in that style!

Clara

I really enjoyed that mushroom story! But you missed the obvious pun!! There wasn’t much room!

Megan Onuma

For kids clothes it's by age. So babies it says a range of months like "3-6 mo", then for kids it says a range of years, up to size 10-12 Tween/teen clothing is odd numbers like 1, 3, 5 and women clothing is even like 2, 4, 6 but I assumed it was too small to be women's sizes

Jenny Nicholson

Any American can explain how your child sizes for clothes work? I had a chuckle when Jenny guessed that the Rotkäppchen cape was for children aged 4 to 8 and then wondered how you sized children clothes across the Atlantic.

Anna Hisse

I went to Efteling yesterday and this video is such a treat, can't wait for more Efteling related content!! And don't ever feel stupid or apologize for getting something that brings you joy :)

Noa J

You can see the master post in the app by typing "master post" into the "search posts" field at the top of Jenny's page. It should be the only post that shows up. But yeah new patrons would never know to look for that, really annoying they dont let people using the app see whats pinned to the top.

Eric MacMillan

Pinned posts don't show up on mobile, I've been begging patreon to change that for at least a year (because a lot of people only use mobile) but they never do -_-

Jenny Nicholson

Unrelated- is the master comment at the top of your Patreon that summarized all your videos disappear? I don't see it on my phone.

Ello Asty

This was fun to watch! No apologies needed, your haul was chock full of neat things. I often experience the 'non-buyer's regret,' so this was very satisfying! I'm glad the Saga of the Mushroom Chair had a happy ending :) (Also that tree is the cutest mascot!)

asunlitrose

Did I hear correctly that there was a Nick Land? that's hilarious

Odin Linga

I really want to go to Efteling now

Trans Dummy

This is so delightful! As a Dutch person who doesn't really have any memories of or nostalgic attachment to the Efteling (though I must've been at least once, you know, as is the law), it's so interesting and fun seeing it through your eyes and hearing you be so knowledgeable about it. Also weirdly living for your pronunciation of my language, I don't often get a chance to hear it like that! Anyway thanks for the yummie content :)

Rosi Steiner

Only the mushroom one is classical music, the rest are original songs from the park! I think the one you're asking about is from the park show Raveleijn https://youtu.be/IQ6gPiIqK3Y

Jenny Nicholson

Een beetje van Jenny en een beetje van Duolingo ^_^

biggiesmartypants

Anyone know what the classical song is for the first magic mushroom music box? I don't recognize it but it's beautiful (40:20 mark)

Rose Stachowicz

We only did one day at efteling and did our souvenir shopping right at the end as it was closing so we rushed and I so regret not getting a little music box, I think they're so cool. Re the twinkeltoorts, I looked it up beforehand and I'm pretty sure the interactive ones were like twice the price of the current ones. Shoutout to efteling customer service though - we didn't open ours until we were back in the UK and it didn't work, so I emailed them and they sent a new one straight away ❤️

Libby Williams

Also the idea of an electrical transformer-themed ride is hilarious lmao

Lindsey Keefer

Oh my god I love everything. The souvenir express thing is genius!

Lindsey Keefer

Utterly delightful. I love misshapen plus toys, I also think they’re cuter!

Jeremie

You should get inflatable langnek

Jenny Nicholson

I’m probably going to Efteling in the next few weeks. I’m not big on merch, but the anniversary tote looks cool!

Devin M

I guess the closest word to 'Tover' would be 'Conjure'. Though its not exact since the way we use it (as a verb or a noun) it can also just mean 'Magic' or 'Enchanting'

Asmodeus

Does anyone else find all the Efteling mascots creepy and offputting?

Thread Bomb

The little music boxes are the coolest thing.

superb lobster

I also joined Patreon for this video haha I saw the clip on twitter and I had to take the plunge

Laurel Rae

Did you make it??

Laurel Rae

100% a judgement free zone! You kept saying things were embarrassing and I was like “no no! If we’re paying money to watch bonus Jenny content we obviously don’t think your interests are silly!”

Laurel Rae

I think one of the silhouettes you missed was a magic tree?

Dash

I'm glad you're posting stuff, I've missed you.

Iris

I loved this video, specially the bit of mushroom stool drama at the end. You obviously had a blast during your trip!

Matthew McCoy

You are spoiling us this month Jenny, I love your purchases so much

Leticia

This was so enjoyable to watch!

B Hair

With the placemats I instantly imagined you having a whimsical tea party or dinner party, using them functionally.

Natalie

taking notes for this packing cube life hack 📝

Peachy Parfait

There make be snake plants!

Shaun Cheah

Just look up "The Six Servants" and you can find out all about Langnek lore! I was obsessed with Grimm fairytales when I was little and let me tell you, some of them are wild. A personal favourite of mine is The Twelve Windows in which the princess who gets courted just cuts off the heads of every suitor who fails her task and mounts them on pikes. Real girlboss energy.

Dana Stoof

I think the mystery pin you got might be the giant Djinn from Fata Morgana? His squatting pose and the white drapey outfit remind me of him anyway.

Dana Stoof

The mushroom stool is really a galaxy brain idea as a companion to an apple pie tree you made the right call

Allessandra

I am not someone who is ever going to say "That was too much plush." It is an alien sentence to me, I am not about that life. As much as I am still all in on seeing the third hour of Evermore... I'm now a little extra excited for the Efteling video, because I am hoping for Langnek lore. I'm crossing fingers to hear "Part Six: Langnek," and then 15 full minutes of Langnek's deal.

Dan Gibbins

Oh yeah there are many I'd still like to see! Up for consideration in Europe rn are: - Europa Park - Futuroscope - Plopsaland - Gardaland I think I'm less likely to do ones like Thorpe Park because my impression is it's more focused on coasters and the areas aren't so themed

Jenny Nicholson

Since that one's getting a proper video I don't think I'm gonna do vlog style!

Jenny Nicholson

thank you for feeding us

Cecile

Yeah, you know, like Merlin. And then he goes down the path to the public domain tavern with circular door and sloping grass covered roof

Jenny Nicholson

myum myum thank you jenny

Emma Doucette

(No judgment at all to the answers btw I was just raised in an anti-souvenir household so I’m so curious how the other side plans for this)

Alex Andra

Jenny do you set a merch budget before you go? Or do you just buy whatever suits your fancy and worry about how that affects your wallet later? Can I ask what the merch budget for this trip was? (Sorry if this was covered in the video I was multitasking so I didn’t catch every word)

Alex Andra

I’m so glad you made this lol I love a haul through a Jenny filter

Ren ☆

One thing that I was unclear on, what are Jenny's feelings on Sam the clapper board and Long Neck?

Brian Webb

Such cool stuff!! I really hope you frame those placemats they are beautiful. But that mushroom stool story had me on the edge of my seat omg. Obviously you got it home but I was sweating it out wondering how you managed to bring it with you. What a way to end the video!!

Luis

Also I’m 24 and as a zillenials i love mini backpacks as purses they are a staple. I always get the kids ones from Target.

Erica

Tiny pink pack pack is just like the dreamy one from acnh:)

Erica

Never getting “we’re in love” out of my head, thanks Jennyyyy🫶🏻

Rika

I can definitely relate to your problem with the mushroom… I went to the UK back when Doctor Who was huge, I saw a big Dalek and it had to be mine… three days later I’m panicking that it was gonna keep me from going home.

S G Matthews

Just so I'm clear, the Merlin song was about a Song of Ice and Fire set in a Wheel of Time?

RichterCa

Themed room sprays are such a genius souvenir idea. The Orlando parks would make bank if they sold "Horizons Orange Field" and "E.T. Forest" scents.

AK Barratt

I have to remind myself every time that "Movie Park Germany" is what they call the park today. When I grew up there, it opened as "Warner Brothers Movie World" and major celebrities showed up for the opening (they go George Clooney and Michael Douglas, among lots of others). I think the park got sold more than once and eventually lost the license to use the WB name, but that's how I'll always think of it. I hope you get to go back to Europe some more for trips because I would love your take on Parc Asterix, Europa Park and Heidepark for example, or even Thorpe Park?

Andreas Stahl

Best month ever thanks so much Jenny

Eric MacMillan

You’re spoiling us!

Ben Hassan

As a Dutch person, this is a dream come true.

Roelant Frijns

yay I love seeing someone stoked for souvenirs, best part of trips

alphawolf

Will there be an Efteling vlog next month? X

Icba Luv

first things first….. your Vivienne necklace 💅💅

melmelmelmel

Was it enchanted forest? I think they had them when I was little

Heljhammack

That’s the content I'm here for. I guess there’s no Wuzetown soundtrack because the majority of it is probably just stuff they licensed. Phantasialand didn’t really get into original scores until Chiapas in 2014 when they hired Imascore. On Temple Of The Nighthawk they even played the iconic track "The Egg Travels" from Walt Disney’s animated cult classic "Dinosaur". 
Oh well, I hope the Deep In Africa CD features the original hit single "Kamboleo (Drums Of Africa)" by Se-side. That’s one of the best coaster songs, closely followed by Klemens Werner’s "Ride On".


Hartleinrolle

If you want to look at those pictures, google search "Anton Pieck Efteling" and you'll be able to find tons of his work!

Tom Uithol

I was very interested I just didn’t say anything, so thank you to those 3 people who commented!

Minnie

Ahh I love this video! Joined patreon for it! First of all, your dutch is very good, all your translations where on point even the ones you felt unsure about. "Tover" does not always translates to 'magic' one on one but for all tense and purposes of this vid you got the translation right! Second, I am so happy that you got to learn about the (silly) tradition about the toadstools! I have a pic of myself, 3 years old on the toadstool taken in the early '90's. Third, and last, once you open your stroopwafels (Which are Dutch, not Swiss!!) do yourself a favor and eat them with an hot cup of coffee or tea. Put the stroopwaffel on top of your hot cup for a few minutes and enjoy!

Tom Uithol

Thanks to the three people who expressed interest in this lol, this was great. Also jenny, please don't apologize for buying merch... you're a professional theme park reviewer, it's literally your job to buy merch

run_away

This video was a delight! I kind of want to go to the Netherlands just for the mushroom stool now

Ella Wharton

I absolutely love that mushroom stool. I liked all of your souvenirs (especially the plushes! I agree, they're my favorite kind of merch), but oh my god THAT STOOL I WANT ONE. Off topic, but have you played that Disney Dreamlight Valley game that came out recently? I feel like that would be right up your alley.

Katrina Kaufman

I genuinely cannot wait for the video

Sam Cotter

If you want a plant that's fairly kill-proof - snake plants don't need much light and only need water once a month or so. They also produce oxygen during the night!

Lilium

I really want to read that book. Those illustrations are beautiful!

Colin Sebastian

I'm completely with you on wearing warm socks to sleep in cold rooms! My family thinks I'm crazy for sleeping in socks.

Betsy

I hope your background is fully- or at least mostly-transformed with this delightful haul for whatever video(s) may come of the trip! I quite enjoyed the full tour lol

Henri

I would love to have a peek inside that park ephemera collection, it sounds super fascinating! And it's fun to hear your experiences having been to all the European parks myself when I was a child. I really want to go back with fresh eyes now

Ann

We tried to find outfits in that raspberry pink-red color for our wedding and it was absolutely impossible. :\

Mark and Matt

Okay now I really want to know how Max and Moritz are integrated into a theme park and also what you think of their tale.

Bear

Oh some of them are gifts I haven't given away yet

Jenny Nicholson

I love the Pirate Parrot so much! If I had to rank my top 3 plushes from this video I'd say: Pirate Parrot, Merlin's Owl, Kroka. What Shy Unicorn didn't make my top three?!

David A Behlman

Did I miss why she said she won't be keeping all of her haul? ._.

Foxer

Oh my god I hadn't opened it and just assumed it was a normal calendar with pictures for the park's birthday. A birthday calendar is not a thing we have here

Jenny Nicholson

This video is spectacular.

GammaWu

I think it's nice that you always travel with your sister. I've taken international trips with my sister a few times as well and we literally do not speak for like a month after we're so sick of each other... but she keeps signing for increasingly specific experiences lol so it's obviously working.

Ashley

Love the video! The birthday calendar will actually never become outdated because it's not specific to a year. It's very common in Dutch households to have a birthday calendar hanging in the bathroom or sth

steamybanshee

Stroopwafels are definitely NOT from Switzerland :-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stroopwafel

Rime Pendragon

Jenny's house is an actual plush museum like she could line a hallway with vitrines filled with plush that's incredibly cool

Narissa de Bruin

Your dutch is so good!!

Juliët de Goede

Mushroom madness. I wonder how all the suitcases looked before check-in at the airport. I love this haul video. Please do more!

arnique

Get well soon!

Spublii

I love Kroka! I love how chunky his big plush is. His expression is wonderful- he’s just in a state of constant screaming.

Kate B

Yes! I wanted to visit but I tried to do some googling and it didn't look like there was anywhere to like "go" to celebrate the horses? I was hoping to find a museum or a training school open to tourists or something but was thinking realistically it was probably a lot of private farms there

Jenny Nicholson

I NEARLY like Quetzal's design, but I honestly think that the little smiley face at the end of the tail is so jarringly different from the rest of him.

Markus D

You are so courageous for even considering bringing home that mushroom. I wouldnt have the balls to do it. You got a lot of good stuff!!!

Sapphire.Skeletons

Hey Jenny! Speaking about Frisian horses, you know the Frisian horses come from Friesland, a province in The Netherlands?

Spublii

It's so cool to hear you pronounce the words in Dutch. Thank you for making an honest effort! Glad to see you enjoyed your time! No shame about how much merch you got, I would have done the same if I got to go to America!

Spublii

I perked up when you talked about the music mushrooms, because I grew up near a park that also had those! There's pictures of me with my ear to the mushroom! Turns out some guy visited Efteling in the fifties and then created a little copy of it in Germany because he liked it so much. What a weird thing to learn about this iconic place of my childhood.

Sam

I feel like whenever I see a german cartoon mascot it has deviantart energy, not just in that they're usually not shaded or anything but also in the sense that they seem kind of furry esque. So maybe to locals phantasialand's art graphics seem normal or even high-end

Jenny Nicholson

I know you're into them, but I can't help but think that aesthetically, a lot of these theme park mascots have serious "Deviantart" energy and it's very weird for a theme park that should ostensibly have the money for at least more polished graphics to officially show off instead of something like the image of all the dragons you showed on Twitter. I just saw the mascot costume for Moyo and I don't know how to feel about it. It's really riding the line between cute and unsettling and the mix of animal patterns in broad swathes feels a bit lazy. I'm just saying that I've seen hybrid furry art, so I know some people can do better, LOL.

Markus D

I'm a Zoomer and I'm obsessed with tiny backpacks

Jaz Mei Luo

all the Efteling characters are kind of terrifying

Jennifer W

wow this was so cooll thank you for all the extra content ♡

stela

Japanese clear files are basically unique art pieces, so I would consider those placemats to be art pieces to frame as well! 😊

SaraSeki

I’m sick with covid rn and all this content has me feeling Blessed lololol

Ellen Campbell

Another one :O also I love Aragog's hat!

Luis

Loving this sequel to "Jenny gives us a tour of her favourite things she would expense if she could find a way to put them in a video ".

Isaac Lawton

Man oh man whatever magical inspiration potion you've been drinking lately, thank you so much! And also, I want some

Prince

Benevolent Jenny is spoiling us this month!
