The Country Bear Christmas Special by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2024-10-21 | The Country Bear Christmas Special by MartinDisneyland Paris - Martins Complete Tour Part Five - DiscoverylandMartinsVidsDotNet2024-10-05 | The fifth part of my seven part complete tour of Disneyland Paris. Again, this isn’t a one shot walkaround. It’s edited to highlight the design and details, the architecture and layout of this fantastic park, shot in 4K and with the appropriate music.
Start by looking around the entrance from Central Plaza, then take in the queue and Buzz Lightyear Laser Blast - shot in low light multi angle, and exit into the Constellations store. Take a spin on Orbitron, then explore Videopolis. Explore the back of the land and then take a peak at Star Tours. Exit via the Star Traders gift shop and take a peek in SpacePort. Pop into the Discoveryland Theatre and take in the design of the area before exploring Hyperspace Mountain, taking a multi angle ride on Autopia and quick walk through the Nautilus.
And there’s more! Walk around the back of Space Mountain as dusk falls, and then take a highlights walking tour of the entire park and each land after dark to see how different and amazing it looks when lit. Enjoy!Disneyland Paris - Martins complete tour part 4 - FantasylandMartinsVidsDotNet2024-09-07 | Continuing my tour of Disneyland Paris, here is a complete look around Fantasyland. A land so big it has a canal through the middle of it! As before I wanted to show every shop and restaurant and in this episode also feature multi camera edits of each attraction that I haven’t previously covered. Again, shot in 4K and all set to the appropriate music.
Take a look around Peter Pans Flight then take a multi angle, low light full ride. Eat in Toad Hall. Meet Mickey. Take a ride on Dumbo. Take a full tour of the castle including the upper balcony, the dungeon with dragon, Merlin L’enchanteur and La Boutique du Chateau. Tour the courtyards behind the castle and then dine at Auberge de Cendrillon. Shop in La Confiserie des Trois Fees, La Menagerie du Royaume, Sir Mickeys and La Chaumiere des Sept Nains, ride the Carousel, take multi angle low light rides on Blanche Neige et les Sept Nains and Les Voyages de Pinocchio, shop in La Bottega di Geppetto and eat in Au Chalet de La Marionnette, run through, over under and in and out of Alice’s Curious Labyrinth, spin on the Tea Cups, visit the Old Mill and Storybook Land for the Canal Cruise and Casey Jr., take a peak at the Princesses Pavilion and it’s a small world and then eat at Pizzeria Bella Notte.
Again, this isn’t just a one camera walk around. I wanted to show the details, design, layout and architecture that makes this park so special. Enjoy!Disneyland Paris - Martins Complete Tour Part Three - AdventurelandMartinsVidsDotNet2024-08-03 | And so my in depth tour of this resort continues with one of the largest and most well designed lands. Travel from Africa to Asia, the tropics to the Caribbean. Again I intended to highlight the design, architecture and landscaping and show here how multiple countries, continents and themes can seamlessly blend together.
Begin by looking at some of the entrances to the land, some easier to find than others, and take a quick Look around Agrabah Cafe restaurant. Walk through La Girafe Curieuse and Aladdins Passage, Restaurant Hakuna Matata and explore the riverside terraces. Walk further into the land via Colonel Hathi’s Outpost Restaurant and take a look at Indiana Jones and the Temple of Peril. We then move onto Adventure Isle for a quick walk up Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse and a full tour of the pathways, bridges, tunnels, waterways and caves that make the island a real adventure.
Back on the mainland, see how the land was designed to both join and hide Fantasyland, then tour the area around Skull Rock and Pirates of the Caribbean before taking a quick ride, ending in Le Coffre du Capitaine and Captain Jacks Restaurant.
Again, this was all shot in 4K and is set to the appropriate background music.Disneyland Paris - Martins complete tour part two - FrontierlandMartinsVidsDotNet2024-07-06 | Continuing my tour of the Parisian resort, part two takes us to Frontierland. As before my plan was to show the design and architecture of the park as well as highlights of attractions, and to look inside every shop and restaurant. And so, take a stroll through the land from both the main hub entrance and the bypass tunnel. Pop inside the Lucky Nugget and Silver Spur, the Last Chance cafe, see highlights of Phantom Manor, the Molly Brown and Big Thundermountain, the playground, Rhythms of the Pride Lands, and also shop in the Mercantile, look around Casa de Coco and Cowboy Cookout, take a peek at the Rustler Rounup Shootin’ Gallery (Paris still has one!) and finally take a circle tour of the park from the Frontierland Railroad Station.Disneyland Paris Martins Complete Tour - Part One: Main Street USAMartinsVidsDotNet2024-06-01 | Nearly 20 years ago I attempted a “full” video tour of Disneyland Paris. Now, over 2 years in the making, I’ve tried it again. The first thing I found was it wouldn’t fit into just one video! And so, I’ve split it into several episodes each looking at one land of Disneyland Parc, the studios, and also the wider resort, Disney Village, and a tour of each of the onsite hotels. Recorded in 4K over multiple visits between June 2019 and May 2024, and all set to the appropriate music, I wanted to show more than just attractions. Yes, I do look at the highlights of each ride and show, but I wanted more to show the design, architecture, details, the atmosphere, the ambiance and more of the parks and resort and also not make it just a one shot walk-around. I also wanted to look inside every shop and restaurant, at transport options, and to present the parks and resorts at their best as a guide to a potential first timer, a memory for those who have visited, and as a show of the fantastic, beautiful design of the original park and resort. A lot of footage was shot during Covid restrictions which offered a great look around almost empty parks.
Such is the current speed of renovations and additions in DLP, I’ve had to re edit and show some areas in their before and after state. I’ve also purposely included - in detail - the Village and Studios Park as they were in early 2024, right before their respective massive overhauls began as a reminder of how they used to be.
One challenge was to include all this detail I wanted to show, but also to keep the video moving and not dwell on anything too much and basically not become too boring. I hope you think I found that balance.
And so, here is part one - Main Street, USA. Explore Fantasia Gardens, the arrival process, Town Square, each shop, every corner, Walt’s and Plaza Gardens Restaurants, every quick serve option, the undercover arcades, the vehicles, take a ride on the fire engine, look around the railroad station, look at the design of each buildings architecture, and end inside the castle. Unlike later episodes there isn’t any real attention to a specific attraction since the whole area is an attraction in itself. I hope you enjoy this and the other episodes.Sonny Eclipse 4K by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2024-04-27 | Recorded and presented here in 4K, the full Sonny Eclipse show from Cosmic Rays in the Magic Kingdom.

A re edit of my China tribute, but with better footage – and better quality – of Wonders of China and far better video quality of Reflections of China with far better source quality audio.
Both films are of course shown again in full, with Wonders again being split screen and Reflections again being a virtual pan and zoom camera.

Thanks to new footage we now have a better understanding of every show scene, including the computer area.

With thanks to the original uploaders, I’ve cleaned up the footage to present a multi angle video of the festive show.

Merry Christmas.EPCOTs 40th by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2022-12-03 | A look at the highlights of October 1 2022. Whilst the company didn’t mark the occasion as much as previous years the park was still full of a lot of like minded fans.Phantom Manor - Martins 2022 Ultimate TributeMartinsVidsDotNet2022-10-29 | 3 years ago I did a Phantom Manor ride edit. Taking the basis of this, I decided to see if I could improve it. 31 rides later and I have a whole new shot-in-4K edit.
Start with a look at the history of the attraction and it’s storyline, then take a close look at every major change made in the 2018 rebuild. Following this is a detailed visit to the attraction, starting outside in the garden and through the whole Manor and out and around Boot Hill Cemetery. I tried to cover every detail inside and outside including closeups of things often missed. Picture quality is much better than my previous edit, and I tried with each shot to present things as guests see them on the ride - not too dark and not too bright. Audio is a brand new, better quality mix with more source than before too. Finish off with a walk around the manor and the cemetery at night. At an hour long I hope you think this is one of the most comprehensive looks at the attraction to date.
Enjoy!EPCOTs 40th Anniversary A Megamix by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2022-10-01 | 15 years ago I created an audio mix celebrating the history of the park, with no idea how popular it would be.
For the 40th anniversary I’ve revisited the idea and spent a lot of time expanding and improving on the original. Better quality. More source. More content. At almost an hour long, this soundtrack is a journey from the past to the present and - I hope - touches on every main show, attraction and genre of entertainment the park has had, some well known and some more obscure.
Like 15 years ago, I purposely didn’t lay the tracks in chronological order. I thought it’d be more fun to have a few surprises and play “guess the show/attraction”. I will post a full track listing afterwards (there’s well in excess of 100 main topics and numerous sub topics)Disneyland on the move by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2022-09-03 | Take a parking tram from the parking structure, then take a ride on the monorail with split screen showing the views from both sides at once, a round trip on the Disney Railroad, a spin on Autopia and a cruise aboard the Mark Twain. Then take a quick spin on the Autopia after sunset too!Disneyland Paris 30th Anniversary with Dream… and Shine Brighter by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2022-08-06 | To celebrate 30 years of Disneyland Paris, the park runs 4 times a day (heat allowing) this parade / stage show anniversary extravaganza. It features dozens of performers, a parade up Main Street, 4 main stages plus the hub, amazingly energetic dancing and stunning choreography, and a pumping music track that squeezes so many songs into one show.
Start by looking at the anniversary park decor and the Gardens of Wonder in front of the castle, then take your place for the impressively lavish parade / show. Shot in 4K from 10 different angles I covered as much of the action as possible including all 4 stages. Audio is a very good quality clean live mix from 6 sources to ensure I got each stage audio track when appropriate plus the parade and underliner. I hope you enjoy this great ambitious piece of entertainment.
Next take a peek at the castle fountain show, then as the sun sets take your spot for D-Light, the 30th drone, fountain and projection show that precedes IllumiNations, again shot multi angle with a carefully mixed audio track to eliminate as much crowd noise as possible.
Happy 30th Disneyland Paris!Twilight Zone Tower of Terror WDSP - a NEW Dimension of Chills by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2022-07-02 | The current WDSP Tower of Terror with its 3 new expanded stories.

With more footage than previously, that I’ve cleaned up a little, here is a multi angle edit of EPCOT Centers 1984 to 1988 lagoon night show. Audio is a source score / live ambiance mix.
Additional footage by Mike Patino, RetroWDW, Steve W and Theme Park Vistas - used with my thanks.WDSP - From Disney MGM Europe to Disney Studios Paris by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2022-03-05 | To mark the studios park 20th anniversary here is an edit that goes back to the original plans for Disney MGM Studios Europe park, takes a detailed look at them and why things changed. Take a look at the revised plans, and then go back to 2002 for a full tour of the park as it was when it opened. Plenty of multi angle video and source audio of full experiences of Armageddon, Rock n Roller Coaster and Cinemagique, plus highlights of Motors Action, The Magic of Disney Animation, Studio Production Tour, Behind the Magic tram tour, Disney Cinema Parade and Animagique. There’s also plenty of looking around the park as it was when it opened.
This is also my first video where I’ve chosen to narrate as opposed to using text the history section. Call it a test. As I’ve said this could be the plan moving forward, but still using text for facts and figures - and I won’t be talking over the actual park sections or attractions.The Lion King - Rhythms of the Pride Lands DLP by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2022-02-05 | The acclaimed new Lion King stage show in the new Frontierland theatre that is more Broadway than theme park. A stunning show shot multi angle with an enhanced source / clean live vocals audio mix. This really is an excellent show featuring wonderful visuals, costumes and make up along with an interesting re working of familiar songs with some unexpected and very welcome song choices too.Disneyland Paris - September 2021 by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2022-01-08 | The last for now of my trip videos, something I’d prepared for family and friends before we caught covid and so a video that’s finished and ready to share - given the popularity of my last few trip videos I hope you enjoy this one too.
In September 2021 we were lucky to enjoy 3 nights and 4 days in Disneyland Paris in the lovely autumnal weather. Take a look around the nice Hotel Cheyenne and enjoy highlights of both parks when they were relatively quiet before the winter season began.Disneyland Paris November 2021 trip by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2021-12-22 | Given the popularity of our DLP 2020 trip video I was considering releasing this too as a Christmas treat. A tour of the resort and both parks with a look at many attractions in the winter of 2021, and six friends meeting after several years for a big birthday celebration.
Over the last week Michelle and I have both been suffering hugely from Covid. To say it’s not nice is beyond an understatement. So I’d like to show this edit not just as a tour of the parks in winter but also as a reminder to enjoy every day you can. Don’t take anything - or anyone - for granted. And please be safe.
The timeframe - and testing - suggests we caught covid back in the U.K. and not at Disneyland Paris. We found DLP to be a safer environment than anywhere back home in the real world.Disneyland Paris Christmas Season 2021 by MartinMartinsVidsDotNet2021-12-04 | Hot off the press! Only shot this week! Start off in Hotel New York - Art of Marvel to look at the holiday decorations then walk over to Disneyland Parc for a look at the amazing decorations from the entrance to the castle. As night falls cross to Walt Disney Studios for a look at the decorations there, then it’s back to Disneyland for a look at the breathtaking night time decorations.
Then - Mickeys Dazzling Christmas Parade. The all new parade fantastic at night time. First, take a front row view and take in the full parade as it passes along the parade route, shot multi camera with a clean live audio mix. Follow the parade into central plaza (the hub) and see the full four stage show stop performance with Sleeping Beauty Castle as a backdrop. Next follow the parade down Main Street for a highlights showing of the Christmas tree lighting ceremony. All video is still of course multi camera.
Finally leave Town Square and return to Hotel New York via Disney Village to see the holiday decorations at night.

Audio is a new source quality mix.Pirates of the Caribbean - Martin’s 2021 Ultimate Tribute - part four ParisMartinsVidsDotNet2021-10-09 | A huge project that’s been a real labour of love for me. See why the Parisian Pirates is considered by many to be the best and most lavish version of the legacy rides.
Go back to the origins of the ride, how it was changed from previous versions, how and why the storyline was altered and how it was designed and laid out and built. Also take a look at all the major changes made since 1992.
Then take a full, shot in 4K tour of the attraction from outside, a detailed look at the queue, and on to the lavish load dock. I took care as much as possible to make each shot appear how the ride does. Not too dark, not too bright. Experience a full, huge multi angle edit of the ride covering every detail. Similarly I’m quite proud of the all new source and clean live audio mix I’ve slaved away at.
Disembark, browse the store, walk outside, then take a full tour of Captain Jacks restaurant. Jump on the steam train to see the ride from the railroad, then take a look around the expanded attraction area at dusk.
This ones been a project of passion for me. I started editing it a year ago and ended up with footage from 15 rides over 2 separate trips. I hope you think it was worth it.Pirates of the Caribbean Martin’s 2021 Ultimate Tribute part three - TokyoMartinsVidsDotNet2021-09-04 | Continuing this new series, see how the third version of the ride was designed and why it isn’t a clone of the Disneyland version but a hybrid of both Anaheim and Orlando.

Next take a walk into Adventureland for a complete tour of the attraction including both queues in full and a full multi angle ride through including each scene in full, followed by a tour of Caribbean Plaza.
I was gifted 70 gig of 4K footage mainly shot in 2017 that I could use so long as I released it in 4K, so as well a 1080p version this is my first edit also in 4K. Audio is a source / clean live mix leaning more towards full source.
The footage was also shot in 2017 specifically to capture the original auction scene in full - as it is presented here. I’ve purposely edited this to capture the attraction as it was at that time. Part one (Anaheim) features the new auction scene with Redd in full.
60 minutes long.Pirates of the Caribbean - Martin’s 2021 Ultimate Tribute part one - AnaheimMartinsVidsDotNet2021-07-10 | The first of a five part series looking in detail at each Pirates of the Caribbean attractions worldwide.

See the origins of the Parisian version, why it was built where it was and how it ties into the backstory of Frontierland. Follow its design, how it varies from previous versions, and construction.
Next see why many consider this the best version of the attraction in a full, multi angle shot in 4K tour of Frontierland, the queue line and the ride itself.

Go back to 1982 and follow the history of Carnaval de Lumiere then New World Fantasy, then take a detailed look at Laserphonic Fantasy.
