Ok

I genuinely love this video tbh I think I’ve watched this single video at least 20 times in its entirety... and a ton more in small pieces. It’s just really interesting? And I don’t really like or enjoy theme parks at all really? It’s just really cool to hear about things that people enjoy idk I just liked it a lot

I also want to say that I really, really thought that this was a video you were doing on a PAST experience in this park. This park addition is new? These people are wild.

Jewel Jackson

When you started getting further down with the numbers, I imagined each movie coming out like "Avatar 9: The Merch" and I found that really funny. I really hope that someone watches your videos and names the movies exactly the way you organized this video.

Disney actually planned to release the park the same time as the films, it just turned out that the films kept getting delayed. I think Disney took a look at their plans and decided 1- they needed something new in the parks for 2017 (and possibly whenever the new date for the films was clashed with some other development they were planning) 2- that it would be more profitable to have two smaller waves of 'new park hype' and 'people who are excited after the sequels' and 3- that the park might help keep some mild memory of the universe alive as the original film slipped further and further into obscurity.

Fun fact: Pongu means "fart" in Korean. I was multitasking and came to a dead stop when I head the beverage stand was called Pongu Pongu. I was like "what?" And then it just meant party. Still, I giggled like a kid at the mention of the cast pongu.

I think Pandora was just built too early, maybe? It came out in a weird time well after the first movie and several years before any of the sequels. If/when those are a hit and are coming out every year or so because they are making like 6 of them at the same time it could look genius. Maybe they'll upgrade and add some stuff to the park if that's the case.

So I'm having a hard time parsing "Big Pigeon." Is that like "Big Pharma?" Or is it more like "Big Poppa?"

Does the mist spraying ruin Flight of Passage if you wear glasses like I do?

Luis

Hilarious!

Tony LMFAO

Referring to the Avatar film as "The Documentary" is the best thing ever

Brittany Noftle

I’m having a flashback to when Lone Ranger came out and no one involved seemed to realize some uncomfortable foundational problems that are completely obvious from the outside.

Zach Simonson

Your channel made me realize how interested I am in theme park culture and history.

Rickard Baratheon

I never ever thought I would say this but, I really want to go to Avatar land now! I may even need to watch the movie for a second time!

I know you called it 'excruciating' as a self-deprecating joke, but as a huge fan, PLEASE never hesitate to go super long with your videos. That's why the ramble videos are so awesome. We could listen to you analyze forever.

Alexander Weir

I'm graduating this year and to celebrate I am going to DisneyWorld for the first time ever. Adding this to the list.

Sarah Unan

I think my favourite part of the whole video was the extra millisecond delay before you said "Thanator", as if to suggest "Yeah, even with my notes I've forgotten the name of this panther thing; gimme a sec". EDIT: Okay, and that your picture for the Avatar scanning process is you wearing an "INTERNET FAMOUS" hat.

Honestly when you were talking about the theme park rights to Pokémon I just went into this other plane of being where I was imagining all the merch I’d want. I’m not even much of a merch person, but i was immediately like “ooh I’d definitely want a Team Rocket outfit. Oh but what about all the other evil teams? A Team Flare suit? A Team Magma hoodie?? How much stuff would there be themed around specific Pokémon, outside of obvious ones like Pikachu and Eevee? Could I get a Togepi print shirt? Empoleon-themed formal wear? Shit and I’d totally buy Gym Badges as collectibles if they were available” Being a Kiwi, a lot of merchandise doesn’t make it to where I live, even if the property is super popular. It was a weird out-of-body moment imagining the awe I’d feel seeing all that stuff in one place, instead of seeing crappy versions of it online with no guarantee that they’ll be anywhere near what you want.

George Dodd

Dang, girl! Just shy of an hour! I'm impressed!

Tom Bowling

Hilarious and awesome, loving the theme park content. What a completely absurd amount of merch! Here’s hoping you do score a press pass to Galaxy’s Edge!

Griffin Boyd

i feel like there’s such a lack of dedication to this video topic since you didn’t wear the bad jake sully costume from the halloween costumes nobody wanted video. smh jenny do better 😩

Alyssa Schultz

If there’s one thing this video is not.... Natazu!!!🚫🐴🦆🐗🦓🦍🦒🚫

Jeanette!

I remember during College Program, Animal Kingdom assignments were always the dread of everyone... It was the hardest to get to and had the weirdest hours. I still dig the petting zoo though. Those goats are dope.

AndyofCT

Yeah, also the way the restraint is a pad that tightens across your lower back means anyone with back pain might have a bad time riding it even though its motion is gentle. I don't think I can recommend it to my mom on our next family trip out which is a shame because she loves Soarin

Jenny Nicholson

Make sure it's fresh

Jenny Nicholson

I'm not really a theme park person, as someone who doesn't do crowds or Weather™, but your enthusiasm alone would make any theme park experience worth the suffering. I've never been to a Disney park or Universal Studios as an adult, so my only memories of them are mostly lost to time; to see them through the eyes of someone who really loves them is very cool. Anyway; hysterical AND informative. 10/10 Lifeless Avatar Bodies Bungee-Strapped to a Dragon.

The Doom Merchant

Warning to larger patrons who want to ride Flight of Passage. I’m a larger guy (around 275 pounds) and when I went to go on the ride I didn’t fit the seat. Now I did not have any issues with any of the other rides at Disney World just Flight Of Passage. It seems the main issue was my rather large thighs.

Jake Fortier

Your mix of skepticism and genuine enthusiasm makes this video a joy to watch. Loved it!

Matthew McCoy

I was probably more than halfway through the video when I realized "Oh, is this the video that resulted from that trip Jenny mentioned in one of the rambles a while back?" since for some reason it hadn't occurred to me that this park was in Florida and is not the nearby one. But yes, now that I've finished the video I agree that it was absolutely worth the travel.

Shaun Cheah

I was thinking of getting some popcorn from the store, and now I couldn't have a better excuse

Wark

"I would rather lie face down on the pavement and let my dreams carry me to pandora" is such a mood I snort laughed

t.c. austin

OMG it was so good!! The jellies, the bad popcorn, the Jenny Avatar doll, the pods, the fantastic integration of vacation footage one of my favorite videos to date.

Luis

Guys.... when do we tell her about the Sonic the Hedgehog movie....

Joe Byerly

Also... I will now have Mah-Hey-Wa stuck in my head for the foreseeable next few hours.. Thanks for that! 😁

Theme Park Review

oh, this is gonna be the best.

anthony grey

the Na'vi woven ball looks exactly like all the random spheres we sell at my job at a housewares store that people like to set in glass bowls or whatever to look like they have chic home decorating skills

Julia Collins

the lava lamp should have had THE JELLIES floating inside

Julia Collins

I always thought that Na'vi River Journey felt more like an "Imagineering tech demo." Like it had a lot of really cool elements that could be used in another dark ride and expanded upon for an Imagineer to make a much better dark ride out of. I dunno, I don't hate the ride, but I also didn't even bother to ride it when I was there the other night and there was absolutely zero line for it, so....

THE JELLIES

Asa Paints
