0:26
and the weather was not cooperating it
0:28
was a little bit
0:30
of implementation
0:33
so i'm back i'm back to attempt it again
0:38
and i am staying here through the end of
0:40
the month making this
0:42
more or less a series on the opening
0:46
of wdw walt disney world and then i'll
0:49
go back home to
0:50
southern california after i have
0:53
documented
0:54
this historical time frame and events
0:57
to the best of my ability i'm inviting
0:59
you to join me
1:02
shall you i'm also on a quest to
1:05
purchase a new magic band
1:07
don't know what happened to the one i've
1:08
been using
1:12
as well as a new hat into the orange
1:15
garage i like the way they have all the
1:17
numbers there for available
1:19
spots before you pull in a good rule of
1:21
thumb is a document where you parked
1:23
with a
1:24
little quick pick there orange l1 row
1:27
12.
1:28
current time is 11 25 the balloon was
1:31
supposed to be
1:32
opened at 11 and i do not see it up in
1:35
the air that is planted hollywood there
1:36
that looks like a balloon
1:38
but it's not the balloon should be right
1:41
up there
1:42
i am counting three of these purell
1:44
dispensers
1:45
these these are everywhere at the parks
1:48
97.5
1:49
that's that's been about the car from
1:51
the fountain angle it does not appear to
1:53
be rising it's just
1:54
sitting stationary just tempting me
1:58
all right i just asked and they said
1:59
it's not looking good so the weather's
2:01
rolling in
2:02
later tonight they said maybe so at this
2:04
point it's probably
2:05
safer to say that this thing's going to
2:06
float away than the other one also
2:08
purchase a hat over at the hat
2:10
shop on the way in so i have i have
2:12
replaced my cap
2:14
oh look at that whoa cano is operating
2:17
whoa
2:19
yes okay go again go again there it is
2:22
oh nice and my buddy the
2:25
the crocodile alex are you a crocodile
2:27

2:29
alligator
2:30
you were snoozing the last couple times
2:32
i've been by to say hello
2:33
but now you're smiling and saying you're
2:35
saying welcome back
2:37
welcome back to you gator and it almost
2:40
appears as if there are some cast
2:41
members over there
2:43
detaching oh sorry oh by the way foreign
2:46
ryan is here
2:47
as well i had this great idea about us
2:50
riding the balloon
2:51
i attempted this with my friend danny
2:53
about a week or two ago
2:55
and we failed at this happening uh
2:58
it's gonna happen it's just not gonna
2:59
happen for you no
3:01
wait so you're gonna come back without
3:02
me and go no no i'm just
3:04
i don't do hikes you don't do high i was
3:06
gonna i was going to
3:08
invite you up on the balloon thank you
3:09
for the invite did i i think it may have
3:10
spoiled the surprise
3:12
i didn't realize that heights were not
3:13
your thing what about rain is rain your
3:15
thing
3:16
it better be at this point because right
3:17
i have a so do you have one of these
3:19
i do well
3:24
this is working out really well for me
3:24
too okay that you know what i think
3:25
maybe they were
3:26
hoisting it down so the glasses work
3:29
better off or on with the showers it
3:32
the mask holds the water against your
3:34
nose did i say mass i meant glasses
3:37
i said does that really keep up with the
3:40
distancing i mean
3:41
okay let's go underneath let's go
3:42
underneath this this trees over here
3:46
that's that's true it always reminds me
3:47
of back to future too
3:49
you know in the alley with doc brown
4:01
one more try weather in the post office
4:01
right on the tick
4:06
it's okay i messed that quote up all the
4:06
time myself i just it's looking
4:08
kind of promising this could just
4:12
the clouds could just steadily go by we
4:14
might
4:15
i'm going to talk you into going up in
4:16
that thing now you're doing yoga at the
4:18
end
4:18
i don't i'm going to talk don't try to
4:20
avoid the i'm going to talk you up into
4:21
going
4:22
it's only like 300 feet 400 feet is that
4:24
too high
4:26
i guess we'll find out the cast members
4:28
for that particular attraction just kind
4:29
of are the cast members or
4:32
just technically that's not a disney
4:33
attraction it's just
4:35
yeah they're third party employee would
4:37
be an employee
4:38
somebody either way they're standing
4:40
there half the day
4:42
sometimes three quarters of the day and
4:43
the last couple times they've just said
4:45
it's not looking good and then they just
4:47
stand under the awning so they must get
4:49
probably pretty bored and then he said
4:51
he said it's florida
4:54
that was it that was what he said which
4:55
is what i say when i say you just have
4:57
to just go
4:58
it's the weather is he waving us over i
5:01
think he might be waving you over saying
5:02
it won't be too bad
5:04
i miss you and there's now a moth wait a
5:07
second
5:07
can i get this can i see the moth guy
5:09
look look right here it's like on the
5:11
brim okay it just went away
5:12
i don't even know if i if i caught them
5:14
off or not but we got moss we got
5:16
humidity we got
5:17
rain and we when we first met up when i
5:19
exited the parking garage what was your
5:20
statement about
5:22
now you can see why i live where why you
5:23
left florida yeah it's hot
5:25
these moths are floating around your
5:26
head are they still around my head
5:29
they're distracting you distracted by
5:31
that yeah it's more humid here but yes
5:33
to reiterate the weather here is
5:35
it's a challenge but it really hasn't
5:37
bothered me too much this last couple
5:38
weeks because i am very content to be
5:40
back and i am happy that
5:41
the disney world properties are open and
5:44
accessible
5:45
this is not helping with the possibility
5:47
of that balloon taking flight it's not
5:49
helping at all
5:50
and just like that it cleared up
5:53
uh but it's still still sitting
5:55
stationary okay gotta stand in the box
5:57
it's good to see you polar bear the
5:59
coca-cola polar bear
6:01
you have the right idea being in here in
6:03
the nice cool weather because it is
6:04
toasty out there
6:06
and it's raining as well but i have this
6:08
umbrella which kind of helps all right
6:12
doing this
6:21
good to see you vulgar that thunder
6:21
you can hear it rumbling over there boy
6:24
umbrella is
6:24
really really shifting in the wind there
6:27
i mean you kind of
6:28
turn this way and just kind of show the
6:30
proximity of the clay look at the wind
6:32
is like really blowing it is very gusty
6:34
made it over to this spot under a
6:36
different overhang
6:38
and the group has been added to not only
6:40
ryan but we got
6:41
greg here what do you think the odds of
6:44
me getting up in that balloon today are
6:46
1.2 it is just off and on off and on
6:49
coming down then slowing down
6:51
and stopping then going again
7:07
yes a magnificent beast
7:07
oh and it's it's young i just went up to
7:10
the window and
7:11
asked again and they stated more or less
7:14
the same thing that was told when i got
7:15
here a few hours ago
7:17
it's not looking too good i have learned
7:19
when it comes to weather around these
7:21
parts you cannot count on
7:23
anything taking place you just have to
7:26
just roll with it
7:27
one day umbrella umbrella i meant to say
7:30
bullying
7:30
one day balloon one day balloon i will
7:34
best you now i have written that before
7:36
it's been probably about a year and a
7:38
half ago
7:39
and that was back i think when it was
7:40
characters of flight they changed the
7:41
name it's now called
7:42
arrow arrow flights arrow
7:46
it's some kind of arrow it's a lot more
7:48
cozy under here isn't it
7:52
i really hope that guy's not taking that
7:53
bike down any sweet slides
7:59
it is now 4 46 p.m i am being very
8:02
stubborn i do not want to give up on
8:04
this i'm noticing some of the amphicars
8:06
the
8:07
the automobiles that float in the water
8:09
are now
8:10
operating so i have i don't know should
8:13
i
8:13
should i continue to to have hope for
8:15
this you know that's all you can do is
8:16
just is hope that it's gonna
8:18
it's gonna start running anytime so ryan
8:20
has had to hit
8:21
he had to leave he had prior obligations
8:24
he did not like heights but you're
8:26
saying you're the heights do not bother
8:27
you so that's
8:28
fine i love heights so you can you can
8:30
handle the heights i had him talked into
8:32
it though he was going to do it
8:33
okay we're in it for the long haul how
8:35
long can you wait
8:36
i can wait all day it's almost five
8:39
o'clock so we might have to
8:40
it might be a nighttime ride what are
8:42
you doing lizard you looking at
8:43
something
8:44
oh you you are you're looking at the
8:46
amphicar coming by
8:48
hello
8:58
but i'm not giving up just wait for this
8:58
thing to
8:59
start moving again and i think if we
9:03
stare at it intently
9:04
it'll start moving when they say a watch
9:06
pot uh
9:07
watts pot never boil so that's that's
9:10
not a that's not a pop it's not boiling
9:14
the watch balloon never rises
9:18
up there it is look at that that is so
9:22
dang cool
9:28
that's pretty good i can't do that i
9:28
definitely can't do that
9:30
excellent this is a good sign there they
9:33
are starting the workers are starting to
9:35
go down there and unattach
9:36
things i think this this might be about
9:39
to take flight a little more time has
9:41
passed it's now currently
9:42
6 22 looking good looking very good
9:45
i think i think it's going to happen i'm
9:46
going to get on this thing not that i've
9:48
been counting but it's been about eight
9:49
and a half hours of
9:50
very heavy sun some rain some wind
9:54
quite a bit of elements but it's almost
9:56
time it's almost time
9:57
look at that thing swaying in the breeze
9:59
you can use the trees there as kind of a
10:01
guideline as the wind just blows it to
10:03
it this is going to be a lot of fun
10:04
they have lifted it up off the ground
10:06
just to check the wheels there at the
10:07
bottom base this must be a test run
10:10
it's all the way up there testing it out
10:12
as we got in line to
10:14
purchase our tickets we signed the
10:16
waiver took a photo of ourselves to put
10:18
along with
10:20
said waver clicked confirm
10:23
another group went up in front of us and
10:26
as we were waiting as the balloon was
10:28
coming down
10:29
the the employees cast members
10:33
stated that their wi-fi had given out
10:36
and because their wi-fi gave out they
10:38
were not
10:39
able to check the weather patterns
10:43
the satellite and the the doppler
10:46
radar the radar system so
10:50
they closed again got here at 11 am
10:54
it is now after 7 pm eight hours
10:57
it did not work out it was it was
11:00
something that
11:01
was not in the cards for me
11:04
or those i was hanging out with today
11:08
that's gonna do it for today if you're
11:10
new here
11:12
don't know if i'm gonna please subscribe
11:13
gonna be a round three
11:16
also a side note earlier i asked is
11:18
there an
11:19
app or a website that you can go to
11:21
there is a website
11:22
but it does not state on there
11:25
if they are open or closed it just gives
11:27
the hours
11:28
in the morning until nighttime it does
11:30
not give an updated weather
11:32
or not it is portable and usable
11:36
that might be something that would be
11:37
good for later to check and see oh
11:40
they're they're open and running now you
11:41
can head down there that is not
11:43
an option so i did wait well over the
11:46
eight hours
11:48
through rain through heat it was an
11:51
adventure
11:52
and i a learning experience round two of
11:55
