welcome everyone adam the woo here
0:03
today's adventure brings me well i could
0:05
say
0:06
a vacation quote first one's here first
0:09
ones
0:09
here but in fact i am the only one here
0:13
at holy land a theme park
0:17
attraction just off interstate 4 in
0:20
orlando
0:21
which i had assumed would be back open
0:25
but it is not i was incorrect
0:28
so my plans are going to change
0:30
throughout the course of the days as of
0:32
the
0:32
day as the recording of this it is
0:36
saturday april 3rd
0:39
so this will be uploaded on easter
0:42
sunday now i checked out their website
0:44
it said that they are not open on sunday
0:47
so
0:48
my game plan was to record today
0:52
and then on that day when they're not
0:54
open
0:55
it i would have an easter sunday video
0:58
however holy land is
1:03
no more there is an eagle flying above
1:07
some of the attractions in here i do not
1:10
believe
1:10
this is a confirmation well i do believe
1:13
i mean it is a confirmation i do not
1:16
that they will be reopening
1:26
dang
1:26
i have some other ideas
1:32
i i went out here one time many years
1:32
ago
1:42
pretty cool there's guest services over
1:42
here
1:44
it is all shut off
1:55
dang all right no matter what happens
2:00
i'm inviting you to join me
2:10
right there now the interstate is just
2:10
over
2:11
that little bunker there
2:20
this gate is open there is a piece of
2:20
signage here that i will not go past
2:22
so we'll walk up to where the sign
2:24
states
2:35
we're not going to go go past that
2:35
this is definitely not a beehive
2:39
of activity you can faintly see well
2:42
maybe not even faintly you can
2:43
clearly see there are a congregation of
2:46
birds
2:47
up there circling around
2:51
quite a few
3:02
so consider this an update before the
3:02
rest of the episode
3:04
takes takes flight
3:12
woo hitchcock would be proud
3:12
now whether or not this will ever reopen
3:15
i would like to get legitimate access
3:19
to wander around through here
3:22
i don't know if that i don't honestly i
3:24
don't know if that will ever be granted
3:27
however oh keeping up with
3:30
you know the easter weekend theme
3:34
there is the stone
3:37
that was rolled look at that there is
3:41
the stone
3:42
that was rolled away
3:45
wow okay i'm going to zoom in on this
4:13
as the bible story goes if you're into
4:13
that sort of thing
4:37
they had announced at the beginning of
4:37
last year that they were going to
4:40
get rid of all the live entertainment
4:42
here but they were going to stay open of
4:44
course
4:45
you know 2020 last year threw everyone
4:48
for
4:49
a through a curveball
4:52
and that could have been one of the
4:53
reasons for
4:56
for its demise
5:02
a lot of buildings out here the main
5:02
gate over here is closed
5:04
but across the street is a convenience
5:06
store and
5:08
a pathway that i walked in right over
5:11
there
5:11
since this did not work out i have been
5:13
invited by a friend to go on an easter
5:15
egg
5:16
trek of sorts just have to go
5:19
meet up at disney springs and see what
5:23
happens
5:24
dang i was hoping they'd be open today
5:26
but but they're not moving on
5:28
one last look here from from a distance
5:31
i'm kind of getting that bette midler
5:32
song it
5:34
from from a distance from across the
5:36
parking lot not the not the intentions
5:38
of that song
5:39
but i guess it kind of correlates made
5:41
it into the lime
5:43
garage usually i will park the orange
5:46
garage
5:47
choosing lime going up to the third
5:49
floor
5:51
kind of bumpy third floor has 234
5:54
accessible spots according to that sign
5:56
all right danny 702
5:58
explain to me what i'm now going to be
6:00
doing okay so we're going on an easter
6:02
egg hunt
6:02
okay a disney easter egg hunt because
6:04
there are four resorts
6:06
around property that are having like
6:07
easter egg displays but i don't know
6:09
exactly where they are
6:10
so we're really going for an easter egg
6:12
so we're just kind of playing it by ear
6:14
yeah
6:14
we're playing it by a bunny ear but
6:16
buddy yeah
6:18
we're gonna go park or no resort hopping
6:20
hopping
6:21
waiting in line now to go through the
6:23
checkpoint
6:24
mickey is following the proper
6:27
procedures here
6:28
gotta do this first before getting into
6:30
springs from over on this side of
6:32
springs you can see the amphicar
6:34
over there the balloon is not quite up
6:37
in the air
6:38
and going over to going over to saratoga
6:42
springs okay here's the directory
6:45
saratoga springs they have a you are
6:48
okay right here
6:49
you are here so if we continue walking
6:53
you see the main office on there you see
6:55
the i think it's this you think it's the
6:57
carriage
6:57
house check-in yeah which would be
7:00
across the bridge
7:01
okay i had no idea they had something
7:03

7:19
all four people this is good that's
7:21
right and it's gonna happen this is
7:24
a this is a two seat surrey

18:37
how large the egg is compared to the

how tall i am that's a big egg we're
18:41

18:52
kingdom along this pathway
19:08

19:08
you brare rabbit
19:10
on splash mountain rabbit easter
19:13
bunny on the lookout for a rabbit
19:17
i know it's a little bit of a stretch
19:19
because gray rabbit has nothing to do
19:21
with easter but it's still a rabbit
19:23
and also there's a rabbit on the front
19:25
of this wall that's gonna do it for
19:27
today i would say a very successful
19:30
easter eve and ending it with a lot of
19:33
brayer rabbit and other rabbits
19:36
throughout the course
19:37
of splash mountain and then the
19:38
crescendo at the very top
19:40
of this peak bray rabbit is in trouble
19:42
oh no i think i'm in trouble the vlog
19:50
is
20:00
my camera's still wet but i wanted to
20:00
get this last angle of the monorail i
20:01
should have wiped the lens off after
20:03
slash
20:03
but i did it
