6:21
stops for the Montreal and then you got
6:23
small world over
6:28
that ni
6:30

6:31
Halloween season last time in

time you amazed me how people can
7:01
remember dates maybe that's not time you
7:09
do and don't ask me what I did on those
7:09
dates but I remember there it is the icy
7:12
peaks of the matter or the icy slopes
7:15
either slopes or Heats one of the two
7:18
you know at first glance at the way
7:20
times it does not look too terribly busy
7:22
I was going to get some lightning Lanes
7:25
but I don't know if we really need it
7:26
we're only going to be here for short 10
7:29
of the day the first half of the day
7:32
well might need a lightning Lane if we
7:34

9:16
little view of the matter weing here and
9:18
the former people mover trap up here
9:21
which is just still sitting there for
9:22
whatever reason copying
9:24
you all right we're going you got to
9:27
follow this rule here do not bump the
9:29
car in front doesn't say anything about
9:32
the car in back they kick it in
9:36
reverse bump
9:45
away it handles like a dream I tell you
9:45
that my mama never drove a car she would
9:49
love to drive motor from in the
9:50
lawnmower outside she would get on that
9:52
lawn mow and go from town on it would
9:54
never drive a car grandma would never
9:56
never drove a car never had a license
9:59
she would take the loo out and drive she
10:01
would she would the
10:04
yard a real big yard and time she would
10:08
M the yard she loved it but she would
10:10
never get out there drive because she
10:13
said there was too many crazy people out
10:14
there on the road she was
10:26
right she always volunteered to mow the
10:26
yard so she could get on the lawn
10:28
mower when they lived in a trailer down
10:30
there last place they
10:33
lived it was a big
10:35
yard they have a riding lot
10:39
more what is that thing up there I think
10:42
it's a plane that's in the top of like
10:45
like the plane
10:47
is crashed in
10:59
thing hard time getting in it we made
10:59
made it in well if we can't get out we
11:01
just go around a second third fourth
11:08
time about pump again nobody if might
11:08
just that door back over I
11:19
think we're going to be going off road
11:19
up here in a minute what into the we're
11:22
going to be going into the dirt oh
11:26
yeah this is where
11:30
the skills have the driving skills have
11:32
to come through oh you know what this
11:34
Lane might not go in the dirt this one
11:36
stays on that one over there goes off
11:38
road I mean you're still on the beam
11:48
but pretty long
11:48
ride very scen oh I hear the mon rail we
11:51
get a mon rail
12:17
nothing they do his thing it's a
12:17
self-driving car they predicted the
12:20
future this is the path right here look
12:23
at this look at this
12:24
little up there's the monal coming by
12:26

12:27
point yeah kind of see the tail end of
12:30
it
12:31

13:08
she wants to go on the submarines which
13:10
I never do the Finding Nemo submarines
13:12
it reminds her of the Walt Disney World

submarines which are now gone and that
13:15
is mine train over there now the Seven
13:18
Dwarfs Mine Train area so we're going to
13:20

13:25
kind of neat we're going to do some
13:25
things I don't normally do get out of my
13:28
comfort zone today

13:31
she's already way over there underneath
13:32
the
13:34
water we are under the water already
13:42

a big fish right there look at that big
14:40
fish oh he's found a tiki down there
14:42
Polynesian Tiki just like
14:47

17:47
as stated on signs placards and spiels
17:51
in the park I didn't just make that up
17:54
Magic Kingdom obviously you know Florida
17:56
but also what's original Magic King him
17:58
here I think that's pretty
18:01
self-explanatory around the rivers of
18:03
America no sign of a boat from this
18:06
angle there is a waterfall
18:10
right all right everybody we're now
18:12
going to approach mck e to Depot this is
18:14
the area for Mickey and Minnie's runaway
18:17
Railway It's a Small World the metor bed
18:20
Alice in Wonderland
18:22
P the pl elephant and much more all
18:25
right stopping off in Toontown home of
18:27
the hysterical society and we ended up
18:29
walk we were going to meet Mickey but
18:30
the line was pretty long once we got to
18:32
the very end through walking through
18:33
Mickey's house but we walked completely
18:35
through Mickey's house we're able to see
18:37
all his furniture living room his
18:39
washroom the kitchen the greenhouse the
18:41
little backyard farm all of that it just
18:44
definitely very cool to walk through
18:45
Mickey's house but when we got to the
18:46
end it was going to be like a 30 35
18:48
minute wait to Mickey so we opted out of
18:50
that I booked a lightning Lane to go
18:51
over to small world so we're going to
18:53
ride small world now realize that when
18:55
we go into this and see this ride that
18:58

19:00
of our head for the rest of the day when
19:02
you hear this tune what tune It's a
19:05
Small World After All so it'll be in our
19:09
minds forever today y until the next
19:12
until the next ride yeah so we should
19:14
just ride it all day no still be in my
19:18
brain all day you ride another ride all
19:21
available space do not leave large gaps
19:23
between your party and the party in
19:24
front of you as you approach the
19:26
boarding area please be ready to tell
19:28
Sailors how many people are in your
19:29
party and be ready to split larger
19:31
parties into small groups for ease of
19:33
boarding as a reminder children under

that you get little finger smudges when
23:25
you push it that way so you got to
23:26
