i was here about a week ago but i waited
0:19
till now to really
0:21
dive deep into the subject matter
0:24
there's a lot to cover current time
0:28
10 45 and this is the parking lot
0:31
situation
0:33
not a whole heck of a lot of vehicles
0:41
not many at all rope drop was at 10 am
0:41
and they space out each of the parking
0:45
areas
0:46
when i pulled in i filled them in
0:49
because it's been you know 50 minutes or
0:50
so
0:51
since the first guests arrive and they
0:52
have already gone in
0:54
welcome everyone anime the woo
0:58
here in florida till the end of the
1:01
month
1:02
and until then documenting at this
1:06
historical time frame of the reopenings
1:10
of the walt disney world theme parks
1:13
looking back on this is going to just
1:16
being in it is interesting but looking
1:18

1:27
unusual times i'm inviting you to join
1:27

1:28
batu and black spire outpost
1:32
i'm inviting you to join me
1:36
shall you as the recording of this
1:38
wednesday
1:39
july 22nd 2020.
1:44
seems to be fewer people than i when i
1:46
was here last week that could be because
1:48
i'm arriving just a little bit after
1:50
opening where last time i was here
1:51
at rope drop up to the screening tent
1:55
see what it is 97.1
1:58
it is really mellow yeah considerably
2:01
more mellow than
2:02
i thought it would be just got to
2:04
continue past the adat and the ewok
2:06
village
2:07
chewy we're home
2:16
not the best not the best hot impression
2:16
but
2:17
i felt it appropriate because goodness
2:18
gracious i'm back in here
2:21
now at this time there are no more
2:25
virtual cues for revised resistance at 1
2:28
pm they're going to release more and i'm
2:30
going to go on the mobile app
2:31
and attempt to procure one the way it
2:34
works is once you
2:36
once you are granted access you show
2:39
back up
2:39
at a different time
2:50
get in this line and on board think it's
2:50
gonna happen
2:50
there's a really good chance that's
2:51
gonna happen tonight the drink stands
2:55
are open they have the droid here
3:04
coca-cola droid just hanging out plenty
3:04
of
3:05
hand washing stands that's a that's a
3:08
garbage can there
3:09
themed garbage can but this there's two
3:12
of them there's one there
3:15
and another one there
3:35
i love it back here a few differences
3:35
between the anaheim
3:37
version and here in central florida
3:41
but more or less the same whoa
3:44
something's happening
3:45
i was just informed that ryze is down at
3:48
the moment
3:49
it's not gonna affect me because i have
3:51
not got the virtual cue
3:53
number yet but it is down at the moment
3:58
if i am able to to get on board i will
4:01
be content but it is not
4:02
a necessity it's just it's nice to be
4:06
back in here
4:07
nonetheless even if i don't get on any
4:09
attractions just to soak in the ambiance
4:11
the sights and the sounds and the smells
4:14
ah it's a great feeling right at the
4:17
entrance of
4:18
the marketplace is one of the
4:21
relaxation stations walking down the
4:24
stairs here
4:31
i'm gonna fly this thing
4:40
always a sight to behold i got my
4:40
umbrella umbrellas
4:42
our umbrella is allowed in space and
4:43
space no one can hear you
4:46
seek shade something like that
4:49
the way the markings are placed there's
4:51
one here
4:52
so i have to wait but cannot walk along
4:55
this little pathway because by standing
4:57
there i'd be too close over to here so i
5:00
have to wait here and then once that
5:01
moves i can go forward
5:03
they are not staging anyone for the
5:05
pre-show you just walk right through
5:06
whenever the line starts to move
5:08
i'm going to be sharing a ship with
5:11
michael k here
5:12
and you're wearing a sweet old-school
5:15
studio's backlog do you think that's mgm
5:17
or hollywood studios era i think that's
5:19
mgm
5:20
oh the porg yeah the porg is following
5:23
the procedures
5:24
yes i like that too yes definitely
5:27
hopefully
5:28
we are ready thank you
5:33
they are not handing out the cards to
5:33
let you know
5:35
doors are closing
5:53
that was bad that's really bad sixteen
5:53
percent oh not good
5:54
seems to be a little bit of damage
5:56
through here
5:58
we got marauder you know we did our best
6:01
i also forgot to mention only took about
6:02
a half hour
6:03
give or take the line has grown since
6:05
then now now this is not the line for
6:07
the cantina the cantina can only be
6:09
acquired by making a reservation in
6:11
advance this
6:12
this is for the falcon it stretches all
6:13
the way back here there are two lines
6:15
blue milk can be purchased even though
6:18
there's no one there's well there's
6:19
someone walking into
6:21
someone walking up now
6:26
i don't think i've ever seen the blue
6:26
and green milk stand
6:28
empty like this
6:48
he doesn't see me over here he doesn't
6:48
see me
6:50
good right here incognito
6:54
this is not a lightsaber but it might do
6:56
the trick this could
6:57
possibly danny 702 has arrived
7:01
now when i walked past star tours on the
7:02
way in it said 35 minutes but you just
7:04
you just went on it
7:09
as well but i got straight on it there
7:09
was absolutely no way no way
7:11
so 35 minutes was not correct not at all
7:15
we're going to attempt to try to get a
7:16
rise reservation at one which is in
7:18
about a half hour 20 minutes or so
7:20
we'll try we'll try to do that and it is
7:23
back open again
7:31
ah refreshing here's chewbacca
7:46
it is really gusty
7:46
i know this just like yeah it appeared
7:49
out of nowhere
7:50
heading into the marketplace now
7:54
they are limiting capacity in there as
7:56
well
7:58
you have to kind of check in and then
8:00
just tell them how many is in your party
8:01
then you go past that section and from
8:03
what i'm hearing only a certain amount
8:05
of guests
8:06
are allowed in each store in the past
8:10
you would not get a clear angle
8:13
of these shells like you can now
8:21
due to the capacity not letting anyone
8:21
else in here
8:22
that's waiting so we're gonna walk out
8:25
since we have umbrellas and let someone
8:27
else have our spot
8:29
to get out of the elements
8:56
i need one of those i like your your
8:56
indoor outfit
8:58
i know you're technically you're
9:00
standing outdoors but that's an
9:02
indoor rain rain poncho
9:06
yeah do you guys sell those here
9:08
unfortunately no they are just for us
9:10
all
9:10
good workers okay
9:20
okay well thanks for the info i love it
9:20
watch out for stormtroopers keep an eye
9:22
out for those guys
9:29
i saw something earlier but they're
9:29
keeping their distance
9:30
like everyone like all of us absolutely
9:34
and they're they're wearing a face
9:35
covering too which is good so they're
9:37
not all bad
9:38
they're not all bad 12 58 two minutes to
9:41
one i'm noticing everyone over in the
9:43
relaxation area has their mobile phones
9:45
out
9:46
about to attempt to get a rise
9:48
reservation and virtual boarding pass
9:51
ah there you go okay it's one o'clock
9:53
open okay you open the app and then
9:55
once it opens attach my name to yours
10:05
so it's very stressful
10:05
okay okay
10:12
don't get stressed it'll be all right
10:19
it's full try it again
10:19
how can it be four ten seconds after one
10:23
it's possibility
10:32
it's two minutes after one it's not it's
10:32
not showing the one
10:33
pm it's saying the 10 am is full check
10:36
back around one but it's 102
10:39
right now right just talked to a cast
10:41
member she was saying that
10:43
they have been being booked up in less
10:45
than five seconds upon
10:47
their release that that seems not
10:50
correct but goodness
10:52
i don't i don't know maybe maybe that's
10:54
the case with the
10:55
with the low capacity and low numbers
10:59
dang all right it's now 105 it has
11:02
refreshed and says our 1pm
11:04
boarding group is complete please check
11:07
back at four
11:09
if it if they're snagged up in five
11:11
seconds
11:13
and we were just like a second or two
11:15
after one
11:17
wow that's quick which basically means
11:20
that
11:20
it's nearly impossible to not only get
11:24
in hollywood studios but then also get
11:27
onto rides
11:30
what a bummer it's like winning the
11:31
lottery exactly
11:33
bad it wasn't quick enough five seconds
11:36
it only took like two seconds
11:41
if you thought it was tough to get one
11:41
before
11:42
these current times it is a whole other
11:45
ball game now
11:53
must only be letting in a very select
11:53
few throughout the course of the time
11:55
period
11:56
i wonder what that number is in
11:58
comparison to how it used to be
12:00
i also got to thinking maybe it had
12:02
something to do with the ride being down
12:04
earlier and that kind of like folded
12:06
over into the time frame
12:07
i asked about it and they said that had
12:10
nothing to do with it it's just
12:12
in such high demand that the
12:13
reservations went that quick you got
12:15
nate paging mr morrow
12:17
tell me your situation about rise i got
12:20
boarding group
12:21
four this morning at 10 a.m boarding
12:23
group 4.
12:24
i came here i got in line it went down
12:28
i was in there for an hour because i
12:31
didn't want to give up my spot and then
12:32
eventually they let me leave and gave me
12:34
a fast pass to return maybe chewie can
12:37
pull some strings
12:40
come on chewie to get into the droid
12:43
depot they have the markers here
12:45
along and looks like you just walk right
12:50
in
12:55
i still have not built a droid but it is
12:57
on my to-do list not today but at some
13:00
point
13:01
for now sabi's workshop is not open was
13:06
told to make our way to dock on doors if
13:08
we were looking for any sabers
13:10
we're gonna head over there and see what
13:12
they got see what it's like in that shop
13:15
and after standing here this is
13:18
this is the situation i have never seen

it with this much
13:22
elbow room before he's over there doing
13:25
