Top 10 Orlando Attractions YouTube videos of 2014

By Banks Lee

It was a big year for Orlando’s theme parks, and we were there covering all aspects of it. We wanted to take a look back at the top 10 videos from our YouTube channel in 2014.

It’s no surprise that Frozen takes up half of our top 10 list, with four of the five videos in our top five. Even with that, there were still a couple of surprise hits for us, which you’ll see in our list below.

NOTE: Many of our most popular videos were uploaded in past years, but these videos represent the top 10 that were uploaded in 2014.

This is the full look at the Frozen fireworks that displayed during the Frozen Summer Fun event at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This event was the first big Frozen celebration to be done at the Disney Parks, and with it happening in the midst of the Frozen popularity, it’s no wonder that three of our top five videos from 2014 are from this event.
