0:49
2018 around the entire Disneyland Resort
0:55
property starting with Downtown Disney
0:57
well starting with the parking structure
0:59
Downtown Disney then DC a Disney
1:03
California Adventure and ending at
1:05
Disneyland just to give you a an
1:06
ambience of the changes that are coming
1:10
to Anaheim here in Southern California
1:12
from now throughout the future you can
1:16
watch this and we'll look back at former
1:18
episodes I will link down below let's
1:22
dive right in
1:22
join me
1:24
shalyah this is also a good opportunity
1:26
to say goodbye to the old Downtown
1:29
Disney because the new is being prepared
1:32
everything from the left of the
1:35
Sorcerer's hatch past the Disneyland
1:37
Hotel that way is undergoing some
1:39
serious changes one of my favorite
1:41
places to get mac and cheese on property
1:43
no longer exists it's closed Earl of
1:46
Sandwich for now you'll have to get the
1:48
world's greatest sandwich elsewhere I
1:52
consumed many a meal at these tables
1:55
it's bringing back some memories some
1:57
delicious memories even rainforest cafe
2:00
has also closed the stores many of
2:03
memories I've had over the years in
2:05
there the AMC movie theater is also
2:08
closed and the Starbucks well at least
2:10
one of them has gone by the wayside but
2:13
fret not there is another one about 200
2:15
yards that direction this is interesting
2:18
on the guide map they have the numbers
2:21
of all the different destinations that
2:23
the building still exists but anything
2:26
past 32 has been removed so all of this
2:29
has been erased
2:32
from existence the future home of
2:36
ballast point walls have taken over this
2:38
section used to be a restroom you could
2:39
go to just beyond that Bend but
2:41
temporarily it's closed off oh yeah lots
2:44
goings on in this area it's gonna be
2:46
interesting to see what this section
2:48
looks like down the road last month the
2:50
entrance at the opposite end the world
2:52
of Disney was closed off this month it's
2:54
been diverted to this section you can't
2:56
go in this direction you have to go all
2:58
the way the opposite end to see what's
3:00
inside stay tuned for the grand reveal
3:02
in fault at least up to a temporary wall
3:06
that is standing currently but it's
3:08
looking pretty nice in here as with
3:11
everything reimagining is inevitable and
3:14
always should be everything should
3:15
always progress heading out to DCA where
3:19
Pixar Fest is still going strong I think
3:21
till September 3rd I believe and there
3:24
goes the monorail properly det-cord
3:28
not a hundred percent sure on what's
3:30
going on but these barricades oh there's
3:34
a little flower garden they're building
3:35
a flower garden down here
3:37
those tunas will do the loop around
3:40
Pixar pier starting at one end and
3:43
walking down the boardwalk because there
3:44
are a few things over there that are not
3:46
quite operation recyclable looks like
3:59
serious business is going down at the
4:01
world of color area it's all tarped off
4:04
with the blue fence a purple partition
4:08
and a little hint saying inside out
4:10
designates an attraction that will be
4:13
going right here later on down the road
4:16
if you look closely you might be able to
4:18
see some sort of aquatic creature
4:21
possibly the Loch Ness monster has
4:24
commuted over here see the water
4:26
bubbling there right up from the surface
4:29
what's down there the formulating
4:31
efforts of Jesse's critter carousel pals
4:34
pre-orders taking place according to
4:36
that stamp on the front their ship date
4:39
2019 I think we're about to see a
4:42
blast-off yep
4:43
there it goes there it goes hold on
4:46
tight
4:48
and they're gone for a short time being
4:51
they had a small area right over here
4:54
blocked off it really bugs me what's
4:58
gonna happen down the road with this
5:01
section get it bugs me bugs me yeah I'm
5:10
pretty sure you got it but you didn't
5:11
laughs I don't think anyone does here
5:12
next to Buzz Lightyear they have added
5:14
in up photo op and of course the
5:17
traditional blue wall over on the corner
5:19
took the short walk over to Walt's
5:21
original Magic Kingdom I'm not really
5:23
sure why there's so many people waiting
5:27
to get in it's very crowded the lines
5:29
are very long but I'm not gonna let it
5:30
stop me from this endeavor going in
5:34
flash-forward about five minutes I
5:36
haven't really moved too far I wish I
5:38
would have brought an umbrella like
5:39
those families did or like they did as
5:43
the Sun is very permeating
5:46
at least I'm equipped with a zoom Lancer
5:53
you see the train pulling into the
5:53
station that'll keep me occupied for a
5:57
bit all that way
6:14
there goes another monorail and there
6:14
appears another train a full cycle has
6:19
happened that's
6:21
I have moved up about 12 feet
6:26
I'm almost in yet another cycle of the
6:30
Train
6:38
and another monorail word of warning if
6:38
you ever stand next to me in a line I
6:40
always choose the wrong one thankful to
6:42
be in the shade at least for a moment or
6:44
I must show you my t-shirt these this is
6:48
the sweat stain from standing in the
6:51
direct side for pretty good pretty good
6:55
while alright it's not too often you see
6:59
the firehouse under a revamp I don't
7:02
think I've ever not been able to walk
7:03
inside of there as far back as I can
7:05
recollect salt or not I'm going to
7:07
consume this in about 3.8 seconds that
7:11
went fast a nice cool dip in these
7:13
waters would be oh my goodness so
7:16
refreshing right now
7:19
but it's not allowed it's definitely
7:21
frowned upon it's very quiet around Big
7:27
Thunder trail here the birds chirping
7:41
I think those are real birds making that
7:41
noise or you think they pump the sounds
7:44
in to increase the ambiance listen
8:01
things that make you go wonder what
8:01
would be cooler hiding in that cave or
8:06
swimming around like those turtles are
8:23
those birds are very loud I don't see
8:23
any in the trees no wonder it's so quiet
8:27
and peaceful back here the railroad is
8:31
not working in fact big thunder mountain
8:42
is being restored reopening soon that
8:42
sign states and this wall stretches all
8:45
or along the perimeter for now the
8:47
wildest ride in the wilderness has to be
8:51
this pirate boat beware there be pirates
8:56
aboard do you see any you know I don't i
9:00
honest I don't see any pirates on there
9:02
another one for an hour hats and glasses
9:04
are safe but when this thing is underway
9:07
you the estuary movement it states five
9:11
minute wait time however that is not
9:14
completely accurate I'm also noticing
9:17
something I've never seen before an ace
9:20
of clubs right here on the back of the
9:23
side what's the significance of that and
9:26
are those those are bullet holes
9:47
notice how they were playing their
9:47
instruments in the shade very wise men
9:51
wise men indeed all right looking for
9:53
the best screen come on give me the best
9:55
scream all right your turn come on give
10:00
me a good one oh yeah that was better
10:04
than the first picked myself up mint
10:07
julep and they've changed something here
10:09
at the window instead of paying for the
10:12
product where you pick it up they've now
10:14
added two registers just outside it
10:17
actually makes a little bit more sense a
10:18
few months ago they started omitting the
10:21
green coloration in the beverage the
10:24
taste is basically the same
10:29
still as refreshing as always stuck
10:32
between Indiana Jones and Tarzan's
10:35
treehouse is this new wooden wall
10:38
probably get a better view by climbing
10:40
up there we'll just let it remain a
10:42
secret for now
10:43
when I was walking from that direction
10:46
under the bridge
10:47
at first I thought all of Indiana Jones
10:49
was down but I was misled because the
10:53
construction wall stops before you get
10:56
to the Q line more clearing has taken
10:59
place on what will soon be tropical
11:01
hideaway but another interesting thing
11:04
has started to develop on the opposite
11:06
side of the Tiki Room
11:07
new developments happening rights over
11:11
in here you can see there are some
11:14
artistic renderings along the wall not
11:20
only there but as we loop around this
11:24
side
11:25
some decorative pieces here stating the
11:28
Enchanted Tiki Room and a little bit
11:31
more old-school one right there but it
11:34
really compresses the area down and kind
11:38
of ruins the photo-op but rest assured
11:41
this will be all cleared up soon enough
11:53
they're making their way through Nick
11:53
he's looking for his friends they're
11:55
over this way or take her right right
11:56
here they're they're over there so might
11:59
they they disappear oh no there they are
12:01
they're over there here's a wider view
12:03
one thing I've always noticed that
12:05
whenever like a wall like this goes up
12:06
people always utilize it to stand or sit
12:09
against and for good reason because
12:10
you're always looking for a good place
12:12
to relax
12:13
inside the Disney and a store which used
12:14
to be an old bank is a vault I always
12:17
like to see what's inside the vault
12:25
there you go we got some Pinocchio
12:25
carved wooden pieces and Mickey Mouse
12:30
giant sequoia certificate of origination
12:36
that's what's in the vault look deeply
12:39
into his eyes
12:41
hypnotizing is going on the toad he
12:45
wants you to not only subscribe but also
12:48
hit that notification bell I think
12:55
that's what he's trying to communicate
12:56
this was closed off last month if they
12:58
have added a more decorative facade and
13:01
there's a Disney Vacation Club cart
13:03
outside of it now the only thing I've
13:05
ever seen that used for was a beverage
13:07
cart in the few years I've been coming
13:09
here and who remembers when security
13:11
used to line up right in here used to
13:14
get very congested just about ready to
13:16
depart I believe we are next in line
13:21
if you're nothing to me in Colombia is
13:24
then moving to the back side of downtown
13:28
Disney everything that's happening I
13:39
believe together your personal blog so
13:42
remain seated until they come to our
13:43

13:46
