may have heard of power pole mickey
0:03
well that is solar panner panel
0:07
mickey i can't speak
0:14
it is located just on the outskirts of
0:14
the entrance to epcot center
0:16
if you look at it from a satellite view
0:18
from a bird's eye perspective
0:20
you would see a hidden mickey made of
0:22
solar panels
0:24
pass that every time i'm heading into
0:26
epcot
0:28
do a little park hopping i'm going to go
0:29
over to studios a little later
0:31
this episode is going to be focused
0:33
mainly on the skyliner
0:35
welcome everyone adam the woo here
0:36
today's adventure will not take place on
0:38
another one of my
0:39
favorite transportation devices the
0:42
monorail you can see the beam
0:43
is empty because the epcot loop is not
0:46
happening yet
0:48
in the skyliner which i believe is the
0:50
most efficient and quickest form of
0:52
transportation around the parks
0:54
quicker than the buses faster than the
0:56
friendship boats and
0:58
the most beautiful monorail gets you
1:00
from point a to point b
1:02
very very quickly had a little incident
1:04
about a week ago
1:05
and was down for a short time this would
1:07
be my first time
1:09
on the skyliner since that happened
1:12
the second time since the opening of the
1:15
skyliner that there was a
1:16
little bit of a fender bender if you
1:19
will and just see if
1:20
everything is back to its usual
1:23
operating
1:24
procedures go from epcot to studios do
1:26
some things at both
1:27
back and forth and see what's happening
1:28
i'm inviting you to join me and the sun
1:30
will be going down
1:31
and eventually we'll get some daytime
1:33
angles and
1:35
nighttime as well shall you
1:38
now i do still acknowledge the monorail
1:40
being my favorite
1:42
of all of them as far as the aesthetic
1:44
goes
1:45
the sleek design as it goes around
1:47
either spaceship earth
1:49
or in front of the train station at
1:50
magic kingdom i just love it
1:53
so much i'm just talking about
1:54
efficiency wise
1:56
efficiency and i met up with a friend
1:58
who happens to be wearing
2:00
an appropriate ip shirt we own
2:03
everything
2:03
is that the term ip intellectual
2:06
property yes
2:07
intellectual property marvel the other i
2:10
think there's i think
2:10
don't isn't it something with on
2:12
depending on what side of the
2:13
mississippi river if disney owns marvel
2:15
or not
2:16
i believe in the theme parks yes yes i'm
2:18
breaking the rules right now by wearing
2:19
it with this part
2:20
that's okay though would you like to go
2:22
on the skyliner with me
2:23
over to studios this is just a random
2:26
interaction i didn't know you were going
2:27
to be here as far as everyone knows this
2:29
was not planned this is impulsive it's
2:31
really not i'm just going
2:32
we're going with the bit we're going
2:33
with the bit would you like to go on the
2:34
skyliner with i would love to
2:36
we'd like to do a little joining you
2:39
shall we lauren oh that too
2:41
on the skyliner yes oh we can go up in
2:43
the dvc lounge too
2:45
both because i you know what the whistle
2:46
all right let's do it this would be my
2:48
usual spot to get that monorail going
2:50
around test strap
2:51
off in the distance getting that long
2:53
angle as it goes around
2:54
has not returned yet as i've stated but
2:57
just to pinpoint and show exactly where
2:58
that lounge is
3:00
it's right up here as i kind of get in
3:01
the shade there you go get a little
3:02
little sunburst there just for
3:04
a little bit of effect yeah nice up in
3:07
the top of that pyramid up there
3:09
i'm gonna get myself a beverage they
3:11
have the
3:12
the soda machine i'm drawing a blank on
3:13
what they're called but you can get a
3:14
mixture of different sodas what's that
3:16
called the soda machine with coke ones
3:17
that have all the different
3:18
coca-cola it's called something it is
3:21
it's called as a name
3:22
freestyle freestyle freestyle all right
3:24
let's get up there i'm
3:26
thirsty all right time to time to wet
3:28
the whistle cheers how you already took
3:30
a sip
3:30
uh sort of what'd you end up getting
3:32
i've got a vanilla coke zero vanilla
3:34
coke zero
3:35
and i went with a mr well it's not
3:36
called mr pibb anymore it's called pib
3:38
extra don't mind if i do just gonna get
3:41
this and then make our way over to
3:43
world showcase and get on the skyliner
3:45
really good view of spaceship earth
3:46
there gonna go into the elevator i
3:48
always walk up the stairs and then i
3:50
take the elevator
3:51
down so you hit that but i really like
3:53
the the retroness there
3:56
this is not i think that's supposed to
3:57
be like spaceship earth design
3:59
the best i can tell yeah that's
4:00
spaceship earth right there but this one
4:02
different
4:03
i love that i always point this out but
4:04
i love the ceiling here
4:06
now looking at the operating hours they
4:09
are as oh you're displaying it there
4:11
they are as follows we got disney
4:13
hollywood studios we'll be
4:14
running until 10 here at international
4:17
gateway 11 so if we go to studios they
4:19
close at eight we should have no problem
4:20
getting back here
4:22
in plenty of time all right let's go
4:25
over
4:26
get on the skyliner we'll take that we
4:27
should get a good view of
4:29
ratatouille as well which is opening
4:32
october 1st the 50th anniversary of walt
4:33
disney world
4:34
which is just below the gondolas right
4:36
over there
4:38
in fact you can see the the eiffel tower
4:40
which is where the ratatouille
4:41
attraction
4:42
is going to be or is i love the fact
4:44
that they have ceiling fans in here
4:47
well that one in the middle there is not
4:53
yeah the one in the middle is not
4:53
working but the one on either end or you
4:55
can see how the skyliner just kind of
4:57
cruises through the air there all right
5:00
we're going into
5:01
161 there will be a connecting
5:05
a connecting flight as well 161 the
5:10
skyliner
5:11
was the last time you were on the
5:12
skyline oh uh two months ago i want to
5:15
say
5:15
two months about two months it's a
5:17
little colder a little wetter
5:20
two months two months you have it now
5:22
you marked it on your calendar to the
5:23
day
5:24
to the day this is quality entertainment
5:26
right here and i like the fact that
5:28
every single
5:29
area when you depart and land is themed
5:32
around said park like this is that kind
5:33
of like that little grassy area there
5:35
is themed around world showcasing epcot
5:37
in their own way there's a friendship
5:38
boat there
5:39
and ratatouille it's right over here off
5:42
to the side you might even be able to
5:43
see
5:44
you might even be you can even see the
5:45
neon sign which is not on we come back
5:48
it should be dark we'll be able to see
5:49
the neon sign there
5:50
and that's kind of like looking down
5:52
into attitude
5:54
you'll be able to see a different angle
5:55
of this under the shroud of nightfall
5:58
a little bit later you're getting a good
5:59
photo you have a good one
6:01
i'm getting a tip top i'll say that word
6:05
now you have to switch
6:06
sides you were over on that that was now
6:09
you're over here on this side
6:10
you think it disperses the weight any
6:12
differently to have
6:14
you know both both of us two group men
6:16
on one side like that
6:17
well some of us are more grown than
6:20
we could be but that's what i'm trying
6:22
to say i am on that level as well so
6:24
would it be better to disperse it
6:26
possibly but you were filming that
6:28
direction so
6:29
i was being uh kind enough to come over
6:32
there let's see
6:33
us very very nice and i wasn't sure if
6:35
this was going to be running today in
6:37
fact
6:37
because of what happened four or five
6:39
you know less than a week ago
6:40
days a week ago i didn't know if they
6:42
were going to have this back going again
6:43
but
6:44
happy to say everything is fluid and
6:46
going right along right along the track
6:48
here along the
6:49
steel rope coming in hot
6:55
i'm practicing i'm just practicing oh
6:55
it's a little bumpy now from what i've
6:57
seen
6:57
anytime that there's any sort of if
7:00
anything kind of goes awry it's usually
7:02
at one of these stations when you're
7:03
pulling in
7:04
it's never when you're on the the
7:07
ascension or the descent and it's right
7:08
here after where the
7:09
it turns or where you're exiting off
7:12
so when it's up there you know there's
7:14
never any never any issues except for
7:16
maybe you know if something happens and
7:17
you get stuck up there for a few moments
7:19
one time i got stuck up
7:20
top way over past the riviera and i
7:24
could look into epcot back when they
7:25
were still having the fireworks going
7:27
and i got a good fireworks show for like
7:29
10 minutes while being kind of stuck up
7:31
here so i wasn't complaining at all
7:33
it actually worked out really well
7:34
granted there are no fireworks now so if
7:36
that happened now
7:37
it wouldn't be quite as entertaining
7:43
this is true there's spaceship earth
7:44
and part of world showcase approaching
7:46
the riviera resort which just so happens
7:48
to be my home
7:50
what they refer to as the home dvc spot
7:53
even though i haven't stayed there yet
7:54
i've stayed in a couple but i i have not
7:57
stayed there yet one of these days and
7:58
we're going to go down not exit off of
8:02
this gondola stay on the same gondola
8:04
but go down and then go back up and then
8:06
head that direction
8:07
over to yet another station that will go
8:10
to studios
8:11
it's very complex another thing i will
8:13
say about this
8:14
you start to get kind of a feel for the
8:16
terrain and the
8:17
the entire property and all the resorts
8:19
that are out here that you don't usually
8:22
from the ground level it appears as if
8:24
we slowed down a little bit
8:26
we haven't stopped but slowed down just
8:29
a little bit following mr smee here
8:33
the pirates
8:39
i should mention on both occasions when
8:39
there was a little fender bender when
8:40
they bumped into each other
8:42
there were no injuries pretty good
8:44
pretty good when you think about the
8:46
amount
8:46
thousands upon thousands of flights
8:56
the definitely definitely good with my
8:56
reflection
9:00
almost like it's almost like a pepper
9:00
ghost effect
9:08
oh and speaking of there's the
9:08
hitchhiking ghosts over there
9:10
oh i can see your reflection ryan should
9:12
give a wave coming in hot
9:14
coming in hot just a little
9:24
sparring now this little area is not as
9:24
themed as much as the other one just so
9:25
this looks more like of grass
9:28
through here as you're leaving the
9:29
riviera section oh i should get a little
9:31
view there of the riviera through this
9:32
great
9:33
and don't quote me on this this might be
9:34
one of the most expansive
9:36
resorts the skyliner goes over disney's
9:39
caribbean you pronounce it caribbean or
9:41
caribbean beach okay
9:48
they didn't answer my question i'm sorry
9:48
caribbean or caribbean
9:50
oh that would be a caribbean caribbean
9:52
pirates of the caribbean caribbean
9:54
where every day you look way
9:57
over there under the sun glare you can
10:00
see the hollywood tower and swan and
10:02
dolphin
10:03
coming in hot oh my gosh i was focusing
10:06
on my
10:07
you startled me i was focusing on my
10:09
shadow
10:10
and you you caught me with that one if i
10:13
didn't she would've
10:14
oh that was me saying that yeah
10:25
and going off of the sign disney's
10:25
hollywood studios
10:27
straight ahead just got to get on one of
10:29
these gondolas
10:30
and head over the last one we went on
10:32
didn't have a wrap on it so we'll be
10:34
able to see out the window a little more
10:36
but if you have one with the wrap like
10:38
dopey here you can't really see
10:40
through dopey's noggin well you kind of
10:43
can
10:44
but over here all this madame leoto and
10:45
that's what that'd be a good one to have
10:47
as well
10:47
so we got the beauty and the beast one
10:49
here as well
10:55
and we are on the madden leota
10:55
the haunted mansion gondola
10:59
sometimes they pronounce them chandela
11:02
sometimes it's spell chandler bubba
11:03
this is a gondola please stand clear of
11:07
the doors in
11:08
cabin 209. wonderful time you can see oh
11:12
we'll do this worthless that's pretty
11:13
good
11:15
i thought that was that was really the
11:16
narrator not you it was
11:18
on the nerve we're we're stopped we're
11:21
stuck here now
11:22
then i think that that was that was
11:26
due to your narration we're not moving
11:34
we are now oh so they got the wheel up
11:34
here spinning around
11:36
look at that now this is what i think
11:40
should i leave all this in or edit it
11:41
out
11:43
should i just leave this in and have
11:44
some organic sounds i think you should
11:45
leave it okay
11:46
organic sounds are starting now
11:57
that was not an organic sound ryan that
11:57
was a that was a gargle
12:00
yeah organic sound starting now one more
12:08
together
12:10
don't wake your hand we can see the
12:12
reflection would you say the monorail is
12:14
more efficient than this or is this more
12:15
efficient
12:16
you know i think the monorail should be
12:18
more efficient but
12:19
nowadays i'm going to go with you
12:21
exactly my point i love the look of the
12:23
monorail
12:24
but when it comes to the efficiency of
12:26
getting a
12:27
guess from point a to point b i think
12:29
this takes precedence
12:34
i'm going to really practice from both
12:34
skylines
12:36
i'm saying i'm on paper i'm going
12:37
skyliner but visually i'm going monorail
12:40
because if you are appealing to the eyes
12:42
it is it is
12:43
plus it's got that novelty nostalgia
12:45
piece that i wanted to win i'm in this
12:48
corner
12:48
i'm in the corner same over here in the
12:50
corner you're in the corner i'm in the
12:52
yep what's that clanking that would be
12:54
my hand slapping the uh
12:56
yeah that's your rig it's organic noise
12:59
organic and judging by the parking lot
13:03
still staying at the 35 capacity no
13:06
there were no reservations at all so you
13:08
have to park hop
13:10
if you get if you're lucky enough to get
13:11
a reservation anywhere you park hop
13:13
that's kind of the way it's done now
13:15
being an annual pass holder after two
13:16
you can park up if you scan into your
13:18
original
13:19
park that you have the reservation for
13:20
this is very long-winded i've stated a
13:22
lot of this before
13:24
but i'm stating it again in case you
13:26
didn't realize it made it to the
13:27
destination
13:28
hollywood studios straight ahead gotta
13:30
give a little go in a little studios
13:32
action
13:33
and yes we came in hot i mean i was kind
13:36
of wondering if launch bay was still
13:37
going to be open and at 6 45 an hour and
13:39
15 minutes foreclosed it is according to
13:41
this washboard sign
13:42
now upon walking in we're talking to a
13:44
cast member laying out front and he
13:46
mentioned
13:46
how this is a screw this was screen used
13:49
i never realized
13:50
the speeder bike was screen used but it
13:53
was in return of the jedi which honestly
13:55
is probably one of my favorite
13:56
star wars films i mean it's a toss-up
13:58
between empire
14:00
and return what if this is the one leia
14:02
was on or the one luke was on or maybe
14:04
just some of the speeder bike troopers
14:06
scout troopers they call them right
14:09
scout troopers
14:10
scout i always like that out those
14:12
outfits now the reason ryan and i
14:14
walked over here is we have we have a
14:16
spot that both of us
14:18
both of us are very fond of look at it
14:20
we refer to this as the splotch
14:23
the splotch and we wonder why not only
14:25
why is it here
14:26
but why is there they're beckoning
14:30
you to stand here next to the splotch
14:32
and the splotch
14:34
is right across from the milk bar here
14:37
now can i point something out real quick
14:39
yeah the splotch is standing here
14:41
we were early on the splotch by the way
14:43
i just like to point out
14:45
we knew the splotch was was special
14:47
years years ago
14:48
it's been now probably three two or
14:50
three or four years
14:52
since we have been in the same room as
14:54
the splotch the splotch is a thing
14:56
it's a it's a thing and we're now we're
14:58
making it more of a thing because now
15:00
we're documenting it and putting it into
15:01
the universe
15:02
folks hashtag is that watch is that
15:05
canon it is now you ready to get a shot
15:08
come on
15:09
oh get a picture yep it you got an
15:11
instagram splash i'm drinking a lemonade
15:14
here at the milk bar now sometimes when
15:15
this is usually launched by the star
15:17
wars characters around
15:19
you'll see javas so i've seen java's in
15:21
here before
15:23
that's just a product
15:32
you're really getting into the blue milk
15:32
i've got nowhere to go with this
15:40
that's going to be a good one
15:40
got the splotch the splotch is back i've
15:43
heard of the squatch
15:44
like big the foot is a sasquatch watch
15:46
yes this is a
15:48
this is a splotch stand here to enjoy
15:51
the splotch
15:52
as long as it's not a squatch splotch
15:55
i kind of feel like this is sort of like
15:56
a blair witch thing too
16:02
oh i see what you're doing there yeah
16:02
maybe that extension i don't remember
16:04
that in the film
16:05
no the film wasn't that memorable
16:09
it wasn't i remember pretty well the
16:12
mystery continues
16:15
that is what the heck is this
16:23
splotch i should also point out over
16:23
here
16:24
it's another little nice little easter
16:25
egg too there is lando's
16:29
when he was in jabba's palace there's
16:30
his headpiece
16:32
i always refer to lando as the judas
16:34
iscariot of the hall
16:36
of the star wars trilogy yes you do
16:39
over across from mickey and minnie
16:40

17:22
lengthy line because everybody's the

17:28
length of the line is like over here

17:44
haze glaze across the horizon

18:14
over there is the entrance into the
18:16
parking area of studios

18:22
little station there someone's pulling
18:24
in around around the cones
18:33
back over in the corner again
18:33
there's a little bit of illumination on
18:35

18:48
once again you got to follow these
18:50
guidelines here they're rocking the
19:05

19:06
like too many people are in line to head
19:08
over to epcot center
19:09
should be smooth sailing boy and those
19:11
ceiling fans are working

19:59
zero four seven oh it sounds like we're
20:00
about to take off in an airplane
20:11
yeah sounds like we're about to have to
20:11
take off
20:13
here that's where
20:16
you get the air out of there no air
20:18
conditioning in these like we
20:20
really i don't need it sometimes
20:21
especially during this time of year it's
20:22
nice during the summer it can get
20:24
a little toasty the spiel just said hold
20:27
on to our straw hats
20:29
we're about to enter the heart of the
20:30
caribbean they pronounce it caribbean
20:33
not caribbean tough to see because of
20:36
the glare
20:37
that spaceship earth's off over in the
20:39
distance
20:40
seems to be going very slowly around
20:42
this turn
20:44
but the door has opened we not get off
20:46
here a riviera
20:48
you will be getting off at up top okay
20:50
there's something
20:51
being said over the over the walkie
20:54
talkies
20:55
or the speaker system oh we're moving
20:58
slowly moving
20:59
much faster than the bus transportation
21:01
also the bus
21:03
is slow going sometimes the line gets so
21:05
long especially during these times where
21:07
you can't fill the whole bus up and side
21:10
note
21:11
you have your own gondola or chandela
21:15
but you're not you're not sharing this
21:16
with anyone it's just your group is on
21:18
here during these ties which is kind of
21:20
nice too
21:20
how would you pronounce it um
21:24
gondola or chandela uh peruvian
21:32
so when you go to anakista in gatlinburg
21:32
they call it a chandula
21:33
uh i would say godzilla uh i think
21:36
gondola is my go-to
21:37
i would go with gondola gondolas of the
21:40
caribbean the caribbean
21:42
yeah they just stayed stated this
21:43
station is designed for turning only
21:46
now i went by this earlier but this is
21:49
nighttime edition
21:51
going around that's going to spin around
21:52
the circle very well lit
21:56
through here kind of see a little bit of
21:59
what's going on it makes a
22:00
90 degree turn boy it is tough to get
22:05
to get this perspective without getting
22:07
our reflection in there
22:09
over and over and over and then we're
22:11
gonna head dead on
22:14
towards that's how we'll get a view of
22:16
ratatouille
22:18
as well a little staircase here in case
22:21
you need to be evact
22:22
of course to be evac from here no
22:24
problem but if you're
22:26
you know another couple hundred yards
22:27
that way there is no evac
22:29
you just gotta wait it out stuck at the
22:32
turning station
22:33
don't get off here well unless it breaks
22:36
down
22:37

22:40
forward

22:58
when it's windy
22:59
you gotta have your sea legs in here i
23:01

23:08
the neon
23:10
ratatouille right there there it says
23:12

23:37

different experience than during the day
25:01
now i've done this before maybe a
25:03
year year and a half ago where i did the
25:04
full skyliner
25:06
run i thought i would do it once again
25:08
just to see if there has been any
25:09
changes but i did not notice any
25:11
based on the recent happenings and very
25:14
smooth the only place i didn't go was to
25:15
pop century
25:16
into that area but you know did the ep
25:20
