Hi everyone! Right now we’re at Union Square in San Francisco.
Today, we’re going to visit one of the many museums in town.
We’re going there by riding the famous cable cars. Are you pumped?
I’m super pumped. Let’s do it. Yay!
We’re on our way to ride one of the cable cars.
Apparently there used to be 600 cable cars and now there are only 40 left.
And three lines. And they’re all manual, which is really cool, right?
Yeah, and they’ve been here in San Francisco since 1873.
That’s a long time.
I’ve never been on a cable car before. This will be a first experience for me.
I’m kind of scared, though. Why?
Because there are no seatbelts, I think. True.
So you can see people just hanging on. Yeah, look at that.
The cable car is coming!
Okay. I think we should just get on. I think that’s where you pay.
We got our tickets. You can get your ticket before getting on.
I kind of like getting tickets like this. It just kind of feels really authentic.
Yeah, and you can keep this as a little memory.
I will totally keep this as a souvenir. Yeah, totally.
On the cable car, there are two people operating: the conductor and also the gripman.
The gripman is in charge of holding down a 365-pound device that clutches the railway underneath us.
It takes a lot of upper strength. Not everyone can be a gripman.
It’s actually a really impressive job, don’t you think? Yeah. Definitely.
We have to hold on really tight. Yeah. We’re really close to the cars right now.
We’re super close to the cars. Right now, we’re just climbing up hill.
It’s a pretty steep hill. Yeah.
It’s a nice view. And we’re taking a turn.
I feel like even standing here, you need a lot of upper body strength.
Yeah.
I feel like it’s also kind of a workout because my arms are so tense right now.
I might be getting some muscles after this. You never know.
Do you want to get off here? We’re about to get off.
Wow. That was so much fun!
We have officially ticked this off my San Francisco bucket list.
Yeah.
Wow. What a ride! Yeah. That was super fun.
We’ve come to the museum that we promised to show you guys,
which is the Walt Disney Family Museum here in San Francisco.
And I’m really looking forward to it because I’ve loved Disney ever since I was little.
Yeah, it’s super exciting. Who doesn’t love Mickey Mouse, right? This is a classic.
This is a very interesting elevator. It’s like we’re inside a train.
Walt Disney is speaking. That’s a nice little detail.
Woah. This is amazing. This is a step-by-step of how each picture is moving.
You know, this feels so time consuming because you have to draw every single picture by hand.
It’s just a lot of work, I think. It’s amazing. Let’s go take a look at what that is.
Wow. It actually moves when I spin this wheel.
When I stop, it stops. When I go, it just changes. I love Bambi!
It’s funny because – see that clock in the middle?
I actually had something very similar to that when I was growing up.
Oh, did you?
It wasn’t as big as this one, but it was a Mickey Mouse clock.
It brings back so many memories for me.
Oh, look! Over here, it’s talking about Snow White.
The industry actually predicted that it was going to be a fail,
but it turned out to be a worldwide success. Yeah. It was the first animated feature film.
It feels really amazing to walk around in here,
to be here and see how everything was made and how it all started.
It makes me feel very nostalgic because
growing up, I watched a lot of Mickey Mouse and a lot of cartoons. Did you?
Totally. I always watched Disney movies and had a whole collection of them at home.
I just feel really happy in here. I almost feel like a kid again, do you know what I mean?
It brings back memories. Yeah, it does. It’s a nice feeling.
There’s my favorite character, Goofy.
This is actually a really cute, nice drawing of him. I just love him.
Right here is a poster that shows you how to draw Mickey.
It doesn’t seem too hard. Do you think you could do it?
Maybe. You should try it. I’ll try one, too.
Here, I’ll give you … Thank you.
Yeah. Alright. So, how difficult is this going to be? Let’s see.
Alright. Step 1. Draw a circle. A pear shape?
I’m not the best at drawing. I’m not either.
Bear with me here. Oh, you’re doing it really fast. Look at you.
Oh, I’m just kind of winging this. My arms are too skinny.
Where are you at now? I’m here. I think this circle needs to be bigger.
Oh, yours looks so much better than mine. No.
Oh my gosh. It does not. Now I just need to draw his pants or little shorts.
Oh boy. We did it. We drew Mickey Mouse.
Not my best drawing, but A for effort! Yeah, A for effort.
Wow! This is crazy. This is incredible.
There’s like a castle there.
Oh, this is the original model of Fantasy Land Castle.
It was built in 1953 and it’s all gold.
That is absolutely incredible. I’ve never seen anything like this.
Look at all the details! I would love to have this At home as a decoration piece or something.
Yeah, it could be nice. Wouldn’t it be amazing?
Yeah.
Oh my goodness. Look at this. This is the entire miniature scale of Disney Land.
It is pretty incredible.
Can you imagine just having this vision for this world and actually creating it in real life?
I’m speechless. Amazing.
And all the different rides I love going on.
Have you been to Disney Land? I have been to Disney Land.
It’s so much fun, right? Disney Land is incredible. We all love Disney Land.
What a great day it has been, Angelina. It’s been amazing.
We had so much fun riding the cable car and visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum.
My favorite Disney character is Goofy. And my favorite is Tinker Bell.
Who’s yours?
