2:15
they close the roads off and there is a
2:18
little farmer's market
2:19
and some of the local creative folk not
2:22
just necessarily food but you can also
2:24
get creative items that people have made
2:28
and are selling
2:29
right down on market street
2:32
at this fountain i was just at the tiny
2:33
fountain over in savannah square this is
2:36
market square
2:38
with the cornerstone market there on the
2:39
side
2:40
yeah it's pretty neat i will
2:42
occasionally not not all the time
2:43
because i'm not always in town but
2:44
occasionally i will kind of roam the
2:46
streets of downtown celebration when
2:48
they do these little once a week it's
2:51
every sunday every single sunday from
2:53
about ten to one or ten to two just only
2:55
for those few hours it's about three
2:56
miles door to door from my place to
2:59
epcot
3:00
center parking
3:01
one of the few times you will see i-4
3:03
westbound going smoothly through this
3:05
little
3:07
little section this little junction
3:10
is on a sunday morning it's 10 33 right
3:13
now now afternoon right after noon or
3:15
one it'll get backed up like it always
3:17
is
3:18
this is a rarity
3:20
just wanted to show it
3:22
also off in the distance
3:23
mickey power pole
3:38
now going out in the heat of summer not
3:38
the most enjoyable thing to do in
3:40
central florida
3:42
but i'll make an exception to go on this
3:44
new riding attraction because it's tough
3:46
to get on i remember to bring my magic
3:48
band today as well as some pins that i
3:51
have duplicates of or ones i don't want
3:53
for some pen trading and in case it
3:55
rains
3:56
my umbrella
3:57
and about to go directly overhead
4:01
there
4:02
goes
4:11
parked way over here
4:11
u.s spaceship earth off in the distance
4:13
i'll probably go on that today too and
4:15
with that beautiful sphere poking up
4:17
over the trees you can also look over
4:19
here on the sight line
4:21
that is the
4:22
coaster show building
4:24
four guardians cosmic rewind it's
4:27
painted blue to kind of blend in with
4:28
the sky but because the clouds are out
4:30
today it's really easy to see
4:33
it is 11 o'clock on the nose
4:36
so i'm entering in from where the bus
4:38
drop off and pick off area is which is a
4:40
little bit different for me so i have
4:41
about an hour and five minutes until my
4:43
window from 1205 until 105 is when i can
4:46
get in line for my lightning lane
4:49
my individual lightning lane
4:51
that cost me 17
4:53
now if you get up really early in the
4:55
morning you can try to get a reservation
4:57
to get on the attraction but it goes
4:58
very very very quick i miss that
5:01
opportunity so i just figured heck it
5:03
i'm guaranteed to get on
5:05
so i just booked the lightning line
5:08
i've been wanting to do this for a while
5:09
so i just decided to do it this way ah
5:11
yes coming into view
5:13
that glorious sphere
5:16
it's not a golf ball it's the one and
5:18
only
5:18
space ship
5:20
earth
5:25
i didn't mean to pronounce it with a th
5:25
space
5:26
ship earth not space
5:30
ship
5:31
earth an entire ride entire attraction
5:35
goes up in that beautiful sphere
5:39
i just love it so much i love epcot
5:41
epcot center i still refer to his epcot
5:42
center 40th anniversary will be
5:45
celebrated on october 1st of this year
5:48
time sure does fall and looks like the
5:50
jamiters are out over here i will let
5:52
them and their music played on trash
5:55
cans
5:56
walk me over just to get a little peek
5:58
at the front of guardians of the galaxy
6:00
cosmic rewind which used to be energy of
6:03
ella's energy adventure for years and
6:05
years and years really the best part of
6:06
the only real reason i ever went on
6:07
ella's energy event was just to see the
6:10
little two minutes of the dinosaurs even
6:12
though it was like a 40 minute ride so
6:14
i'm kind of glad that they're utilizing
6:15
this building now keep in mind this
6:17
first part of the show building here is
6:19
the queue so ellen's energy adventure is
6:22
the cue now
6:23
of
6:46
i do not have a standby yet for this
6:46
attraction so you pretty much just have
6:48
to either get the mobile
6:50
boarding pass early in the morning sign
6:53
up for the virtual cube which goes away
6:55
almost instantaneously or do the
6:58
lightning lane but there is no walk up
7:00
yet they kind of did the same thing with
7:01
rise of resistance for a little while
7:03
rise was that way and now ryze finally
7:05
has a walk-up which is really nice but
7:07
it was nearly impossible to get on rise
7:08
i'm pretty sure that's how it's going to
7:09
be with getting on guardians of the
7:12
galaxy cosmic rewind as well for a
7:15
little while but there's the option for
7:16
the lightning lane which is kind of nice
7:18
now i did check the line for connections
7:20
cafe starbucks it was very lengthy the
7:22
line for joffrey's which i prefer
7:23
joffrey's a little more than starbucks
7:24
when i'm in the parks was a little
7:25
shorter i noticed there was a robot over
7:27
in front of guardians who was
7:29
interacting very fully with
7:31
very very a lot of interaction going on
7:33
with the guests really kind of made me
7:34
laugh some of the stuff the robot was
7:36
saying and whatnot and then as i was
7:37
waiting in the line to get a
7:39
caffeinated beverage the robot rolled
7:41
over
7:42
grabbed my umbrella hey look
7:45
i'm mary poppins y'all
7:47
i didn't get a regular coffee i got a
7:49
vanilla latte which is kind of hard for
7:51
the course i like coffee but i also like
7:53
vanilla lattes and i got a pretty good
7:55
angle of the monorail going by i get a
7:57
lot of monorail angles today
7:59
yeah i'm going to get hyped up on some
8:01
some coffee before going in guardians
8:03
i'm ready and also inside the creation
8:05
shop and see if they have any merch for
8:08
this particular subject matter the
8:09
guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind i
8:12
don't know if i'm going to buy anything
8:14
per se but yeah i just want to kind of
8:15
document the merchandises inside the
8:18
creation shop and probably at a lot of
8:19
other gift shops i'm kind of curious if
8:21
you exit through the gift shop when
8:23
getting off the ride itself i'm going to
8:24
say yeah probably probably something
8:26
it's definitely very good to be back in
8:28
this show building again it's been a
8:30
while ellen's energy adventure is no
8:32
more this is the queue line walking in
8:35
going into one room where they've herded
8:36
everyone into this one room
8:38
go out of this one room and then go into
8:41
another room where you're kind of herded
8:43
and they do a little pre-show
8:45
as well
8:46
kind of explaining how the whole thing
8:47
works how going to where we need to go
8:49
would take millions of years so they're
8:50
going to bring it to us
8:52
through the beauty of what appears to be
8:54
this attraction and this ride
8:56
so now i'm just waiting patiently
8:59
in this room just waiting to go and
9:01
board
9:02
the ride vehicle
9:04
which is probably a couple hundred
9:05
people in this room
9:07
and keep in mind this little oh the
9:09
doors are open the doors are open
9:11
oh dang what exactly is this
9:18
happening right now
9:18
a little bit of a lightning storm and
9:19
we're getting teleported right now up
9:21
there we're going to be teleported
9:30
oh i can see my reflection in there
9:44
current time is now 12 29 i walked into
9:44
1203 two minutes before my magic man was
9:47
able to walk in so i've actually been in
9:49
line for 27 minutes about 26 minutes
9:53
before even getting to where i can even
9:55
see the attraction itself so it
9:57
definitely is very time consuming it's
9:59
called lightning line it doesn't really
10:01
work as quick as lighting lightning is a
10:03
quick strike this is a little delay and
10:05
you can board on two sides and there's
10:07
this duplicate on the other side similar
10:09
to big thunder mountain they kind of
10:11
divide you up it's like i'm gonna be
10:13
going over to this side and just see
10:14
which way they route me so this is the
10:16
other side not the one i just had my
10:18
camera pointed out so there's two two
10:20
ride steps two ride vehicles this is
10:22
pretty dang exciting i always love new
10:24
attractions and they don't happen every
10:25
day there's not a new attraction every
10:27
day so
10:28
i am pretty excited i'm gonna be going
10:29
on this thing
10:31
finally finally i think it opened at the
10:33
end of may so it's been open a couple
10:34
months all right it's 12 37 now so it
10:37
took me 33 34 minutes to get on this
10:40
also it looks like you exit off at a
10:42
different spot because this ride vehicle
10:43
is empty so you must have parked at a
10:45
different area all right going in this
10:48
is happening this is
10:55
that was incredible
10:55
in fact i started to like i would say i
10:57
teared up and started crying or anything
10:58
but i did not expect it to be as
11:00
incredible as it was respect especially
11:02
with the backwards
11:04
launch
11:05
oh my goodness and the song i had was
11:07
tears for fears everybody wants to rule
11:09
the world which i love that song anyway
11:12
and i would guess every time you go
11:13
through it you probably get a different
11:17
80s song
11:18
man what the heck this was like really
11:21
something else it kind of reminded me of
11:23
a mix between
11:26
rock and roller coaster and space
11:27
mountain with its own twist on it plus
11:29
you're able to spin
11:31
and watch as the show is presented for
11:32
you in digital form
11:35
wow i mean i gotta say this thing was
11:38
awesome and i'm doing this voiceover in
11:40
line again because i'm going on the
11:41
second time on the other track which i
11:43
do not believe is part of
11:46
the experience with lightning light but
11:47
when i got off they saw my excitement
11:49
and the cast member said would you like
11:51
to ride it again
11:52
and of course i'm not going to turn that
11:54
down so i said yes so i purchased the
11:56
lightning light it took about a half
11:57
hour to get on but the second time i
11:59
didn't have to go back to the front of
12:00
the line they just said you know what
12:02
just get back in line you enjoyed it so
12:03
much i have to say big thank you for
12:05
that additional magic moment i'm not
12:07
gonna film this without my camera down
12:09
and just kind of enjoy it but highly
12:11
recommend something i'm doing both sides
12:13
and i give a wrap-up of the other side
12:14
now the first ride on the other side i
12:16
was in row two this time i am in row
12:19
eight
12:20
that's pretty close to the front row now
12:22
i'm kind of close to the back on this
12:23
one throw away i think it's just nine
12:25
rides that's nice
12:27
here goes round number two
12:34
that completes my second ride through on
12:34
both so i did one on either side the
12:36
second song i got was blondie one way or
12:39
another and i was wrong about exiting
12:41
through the gift shop you can exit out
12:44
past the gift shop and choose to go in
12:46
and they have a couple other things they
12:47
don't have inside the other shops around
12:49
the area but you don't exit through you
12:51
exit around and have a possibility to go
12:53
in if you so choose and i'm going to
12:54
celebrate over in club pool not going
12:56
with beverly we're going to go with
12:58
madagascar down here
13:00
i always like the madagascar flavor
13:02
whatever that flavor is out there but
13:04
i've done enough beverly in my life that
13:05
i'm not going to do it anymore
13:15
that's pretty tasty and after that
13:15
walked over here to the pvc fountain
13:17
journey to imagination pavilion
13:19
is right next to there i'm gonna go up
13:20
in the dvc lounge which is at the top of
13:22
this pyramid
13:24
above where figment
13:25
likes to kind of hang around
13:28
used to be the rainbow tunnel up there
13:30
rainbow tunnel is kind of sealed off now
13:32
you can go up there if you're a member
13:33
of dvc which i am so i like to utilize
13:35
this every time i'm in the park
13:37
especially to kind of beat the heat and
13:38
whatnot
13:39
you can either take an elevator up or
13:41
you can walk up a set of stairs if i'm
13:43
walking up the stairs so once you're at
13:45
the top you can choose from a
13:47
variety of different soda options one of
13:49
those machines where you can pick your
13:50
own soda i always kind of go with the mr
13:52
pib
13:53
or you know something of that nature
13:54
something you can't normally get
13:56
in the at the walk-up windows and quick
13:58
service at the park
14:00
but i really like it up here we've got a
14:02
pretty good view of spaceship earth and
14:04
of the pyramid itself the glass pyramid
14:06
with the windows looking out over
14:09
what used to be future world now it's
14:11
not called future world anymore but
14:13
the greater epcot center area and from
14:15
up top there at the dvc lounge
14:19
to lower level
14:20
getting a good angle here at the
14:22
fountain that does not go
14:24
it's a waterfall that doesn't go down
14:26
but a waterfall that goes up
14:28
with the monorail going by a thing of
14:30
beauty a transportation device like none
14:32
other
14:37
going around
14:37
heading back to the station
14:43
awesome now i know food and wine is
14:43
going on but i really don't feel like
14:44
walking around world showcase so i'm
14:46
gonna go over here to sunshine seasons
14:48
and get a little bite to eat i always
14:50
like some sunshine seasons and this is
14:53
what we're dealing with caesar salad
14:54
with chicken and i had to get two little
14:56
sides here of this pasta salad love the
14:58
pasta salad i don't know what it is
14:59
about the pasta salad at sunshine
15:01
seasons but i always have to get it
15:02
instead of getting like another i don't
15:03
try to eat a little bit healthier so i'm
15:04
getting the salad i know i had a mr pibb
15:06
up in the lounge but yeah going with the
15:08
salad with some chicken and a
15:10
complimentary water you can get as well
15:12
lots of salad time and a nice little
15:14
view here the diorama kind of hanging
15:16
dangling from the roof up there and the
15:19
monorail going by perfect timing because
15:22
right next to the monorail
15:24
as i'm making my way out is the one and
15:26
only spaceship earth
15:28
one does not go to a simply go to epcot
15:31
and not ride on one of the greatest
15:33
attractions in existence of disney
15:35
history
15:36
spaceship earth
15:37
going up getting in the ride vehicle
15:40
going up the ascent
15:42
obviously we'll be thanking the
15:44
phoenicians as always but also
15:47
cruising up up up into this magnificent
15:50
sphere past all the animatronics i will
15:53
say guardians had
15:55
spoiler alert no animatronics i'm a big
15:58
i'm really into animatronics but i will
16:00
let guardians slide on that one because
16:02
it was next level but just to balance
16:05
things out
16:06
doing a little spaceship earth
16:09
kind of old-timey animatronics
16:12
the way i like them the the best of both
16:14
worlds coming to epcot
16:16
and that's going to do it for today from
16:18
epcot center
16:20
monorail going by the closing angle as i
16:24
went by when i was inside the park now
16:27
that i'm all the way back out to the
16:28
parking lot check this out
16:31
i'm going overhead
16:34
i am really happy i finally even though
16:37
this one opened a couple months was i
16:39
was out of town
16:40
able to do
16:41
guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind a
16:45
vast difference yes it is the same
16:46
theming
16:47
same ip all that
16:49
as
16:50
dca disney california adventure the
16:52
former
16:53
hollywood tower that does the drop it's
16:54
more of an overlay
16:56
this thing here is
16:58
impressive
17:00
i
17:02
loved it in fact when it comes to new
17:04
attractions new rides in the last five
17:06
or 10 years per se there's only been two
17:09
that really kind of
17:10
kind of got me right here and as i was
17:13
on them
17:14
could feel a little a little missed in
17:16
the eyes thinking this actually exists
17:19
the first one
17:20
rise of the resistance at hollywood
17:22
studios in
17:23
batu galaxy's edge star wars land and
17:26
the second
17:29
is now inside epcot center granted i
17:32
kind of wish there was an animatronic or
17:34
two in there spoiler alert there aren't
17:37
any a lot of screens but holy cow
17:40
