20th 2023 I'm standing here at the

Forefront of Market Street Celebration
0:09
Florida I am wearing the shirt I'll say
0:12
it's an appropriate t-shirt also have my
0:14
magic fan on because I think I'm gonna
0:15
pop in one of the Disney parks for a
0:17
little summer evening
0:20
after dark because it is extremely warm
0:25
hot and humid I'm not in California
0:26
anymore the humidity here in Central
0:29
Florida
0:31
it's a real thing but this shirt I have
0:34
not worn in quite a while I want to say
0:36
it fits perfectly but it fits fits less
0:40
snugly than it used to I've had it in my
0:44
closet for a while and I was able to put
0:46
it on and I'm gonna be doing a weigh-in
0:49
on the 30th of this month after my
0:51
50-day challenge to myself where I've
0:53
been hitting the gym I've been going
0:54
every day
0:55
in a row for more than 40 days going on
0:58
the gym doing the treadmill and I did
1:00
miss a few days when I was in San
1:01
Francisco on the treadmill but I was
1:03
still lifting some weights doing some
1:05
light weights
1:06
doing a little cardio other than you
1:08
know kind of working out the legs I did
1:10
so many steps and so many miles walking
1:12
around the hills of San Francisco
1:15
I'm gonna get going I'm gonna show a
1:18
couple things here in town before
1:19
heading to the parks I'm inviting you to
1:22
join me
1:23
and this shark
1:25
and I pretty much decided not to stop
1:28
after doing these 50 days
1:31
of eating a little bit better I have
1:34
been eating a lot better there I had a
1:35
couple cheat days you got to have some
1:37
cheat days but I have doing pretty good
1:38
I know I've dropped some pounds but have
1:40
not weighed myself I will be weighing
1:42
myself on the 30th of this month that
1:45
morning
1:46
so I'll be posting before going out for
1:49
the day continuing doing some travels I
1:51
will be leaving town on that same day
1:53
and we'll be gone for a while if I can
1:56
be gone from Florida at the end of this
1:59
month starting on that day for a long
2:01
while and I want to weigh in before
2:04
leaving and then I will continue I'm
2:05
gonna I'm gonna go past the 50 days I'm
2:07
just gonna keep trudging along
2:10
continuing to to eat better lose some
2:12
weight hopefully fit into some even
2:14
smaller clothes one thing that's always
2:16
said is you don't want to go on a quote
2:17
unquote oh check out this car you don't
2:19
want to go on a quote unquote diet you
2:22
want to go on a like a lifestyle change
2:24
or just a change of habits kind of
2:27
silhouetted out here
2:35
there it goes just a couple minutes
2:35
until 6 p.m
2:37
stated door is quite a bit other than
2:39
hitting the jump for a little bit wanted
2:41
to wanted to wait for the sun to kind of
2:43
subside where it wasn't as toasty
2:47
but I haven't drank soda in a couple
2:48
months and I've developed this habit
2:51
where at least even though it's not too
2:54
intense in the gym at least I'm getting
2:56
the Habit going where I'm going
2:59
to set gym and gyms
3:01
whenever I travel I do hotel gyms and
3:04
or places in those areas and then when I
3:07
have local hit some local local one here
3:10
all right I'm gonna get going I'm gonna
3:12
swing over by 192 and check on a couple
3:15
things I know it's moving I noticed
3:17
something closed here in town
3:19
when I uh when I arrived back last night
3:21
I'm gonna show that too update this sign
3:24
is in the water sometimes the sign is
3:26
here and like Reinhardt and sometimes it
3:29
is not here and I am going to imagine
3:31
that based on the congregation of people
3:35
that is over that way that cool the
3:37
gator is in fact out right over there so
3:41
cool is the name of the Gator that is
3:43
here in the celebration Lake just kind
3:45
of swims around says hello to everyone
3:47
sometimes he's elusive sometimes not
3:49
elusive today
3:51
hidden in plain sight as well as this
3:54
Turtle right here that's swimming around
3:56
near the steps here
3:57
at the Forefront
3:59
as well I'm saying that word a lot
4:01
like a new word for me that once I catch
4:03
onto a word I just say the same words
4:05
over and over and over
4:07
hello turtle
4:08
so 10 days as the calendar Falls from
4:11
this moment I'll be doing a little
4:13
weigh-in I'm also driving out of town
4:15
this direction because I want to get a
4:17
little Dunkin Donuts on the way out and
4:19
also check on the big orange in the time
4:22
frame that I was gone
4:24
on this last trip
4:26
there are bees here it's closed
4:28
Arby's has been erased from existence
4:31
now I frequented this place on occasion
4:33
went through that very drive through
4:34
this is located in Celebration
4:37
there's not a lot of
4:39
I don't say a lot of restaurants is the
4:40
one on there's the ones on Market Street
4:42
there's not a lot of chain restaurants
4:43
and a lot of fast food there's a few
4:46
but not a whole heck of a lot and this
4:48
is one less
4:50
to add to that list
5:00
this is the drive-through Arby's is gone
5:00
what the heck
5:02
I do like some Arby's
5:04
it is no beefy King beefy King is
5:06
probably the best roast beef in the
5:08
central Florida area but that's like a
5:10
pretty good waste
5:11
Over The Milk District
5:17
is that the Arby's side are they
5:17
switching
5:19
yeah hold on
5:32
there's part of the signage right there
5:32
and then that says
5:34
this restaurant no longer opened
6:02
I'll make one final drive through
6:02
roll time's sake
6:12
it's kind of eerie going through a
6:12
drive-through that you used to frequent
6:14
and actually
6:15
have an employee take your order
6:18
staring at a screen that's no longer
6:19
here
6:22
I'm gonna go through a drive through
6:23
there hopefully still open and Duncan
6:27
and order a coffee I'm in the mood for
6:28
uh for a
6:30
a different coffee than I usually get
6:33
because I usually will go to the
6:34
Starbucks on Market Street or off of
6:36
Market Street
6:38
downtown
6:43
because the other one Duncan's a little
6:43
bit warm away it's no longer open
6:46
see you later Arby's
7:04
another fast food Bites the Dust here in
7:04
Celebration
7:14
how are you today I'm excellent can I
7:16
get a large hot coffee with two creams
7:19
and one sugar
7:29
um anything else that's all for today
7:29
thank you
7:47
it's right next
7:47
to the old Arby's I always look at these
7:49
signs and wonder if you bought eighty
7:51
seven dollars first and donuts and paid
7:54
with a hundred would they accept it
8:00
does it make you go
8:00
hmm
8:08
coffee in hand
8:08
shadow on the ground
8:17
now a while back what is now the stay
8:17
stable over there used to be
8:20
an orange Hotel
8:27
doesn't look like the inside is open now
8:27
in fact looks like the workers are
8:28
closing up at the moment
8:31
this Beacon right off of 192 that was
8:34
thankfully
8:36
fire did not completely destroy it but
8:38
they have fresh fruit picked daily I was
8:41
just gonna do a quick little a little
8:43
walk by just see if uh see if the inside
8:46
was open but it's not open yeah they
8:48
still sell some stuff out front
8:54
food stand over the little food truck
8:54
over there which I don't think is
8:55
affiliated
8:56
it would factors a little shark up there
8:58
I'm wearing a shark shirt there's also a
9:00
shark at the top this is around the back
9:01
where the most damage was done
9:09
and from talking to people who worked
9:09
here shortly after
9:11
the damage so they were going to be
9:13
reopening it and they have in fact
9:15
reopened this the inside is not open
9:17
it's not structurally sound yet
9:19
look at that shark
9:21
right up top there
9:28
but it does look like they're making
9:28
some some Headway some progress in there
9:30
where the register used to be and all
9:32
that
9:38
will definitely be going in there when
9:38
it finally
9:40
does reopen I've been by many times
9:43
since they have the stuff set up out
9:44
front
9:52
I took a photo wearing the same shirt
9:52
I'm wearing a couple years ago in front
9:55
of this
9:56
has seen so well in the Florida project
9:58
the movie The Florida project
10:17
ooh I rarely come in off the ramp from
10:17
this angle usually I'm in that other
10:18
lane
10:24
I'm coming off the Highway 192 side
10:24
not Mickey powerful side I might end up
10:27
doing quite a few Walt Disney World days
10:29
before the end of the month because
10:31
after I leave on the same day I weigh in
10:33
we do the announce the way
10:35
the weight loss I will be departing and
10:38
I will be gone for like seven maybe
10:41
eight weeks from Florida
10:43
long time and in that time frame it'd be
10:46
being gone
10:47
I will be going to Georgia
10:49
California
10:51
Hawaii and maybe another place maybe
10:55
another one wedged in there
10:58
in that time frame so I'm here till the
11:00
end of the month in Florida anyway I
11:02
might do some stuff out of Central
11:03
Florida but be in Florida
11:05
until then so kind of get some Disney
11:07
park days in some other thing days in
11:09
sun says in about an hour it rained
11:11
earlier so it was kind of a nice breeze
11:15
it is 85 it looks like it looks like the
11:16
shark on my shirt is eating
11:19
the temperature
11:20
but about an hour the sun will be
11:22
completely set the wind is trying to get
11:25
a little gusts going through here you
11:27
got Mickey up there he's like
11:35
Mickey's just having a hard time there
11:35
Mickey's in the middle there
11:37
come on Mickey
11:39
get it going there you go Mickey come on
11:41
you got this you got Mickey got really
11:44
excited between those Double D's
11:51
heavy metal
12:06
not a bad time to arrive according to
12:06
this clock it is
12:08
605 PM we'll leave the park closes at
12:14
10. I don't know if I'm gonna settle 10
12:16
but yeah this is definitely on my agenda
12:19
this eve climb up award could hang on
12:23
for the wildest ride in the wilderness
12:26
look at this steep incline right here
12:28
going around just kind of whipping
12:30
everybody around yes one of the best
12:33
rides of all time oh perfect angle here
12:45
at the front of UB darling usually I'll
12:45
go in the back I'll ask for the back but
12:47
this time I'm sitting at the very very
12:49
front Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
12:52
Front Row first round front row rarely
12:56
do I ever get to the front room I said
12:59
you know what today heck it I'll just
13:01
sit in the front oh front row to myself
13:05
all around
13:39
now it's a lot slower Pace in the front
13:39
the back of whips you around the lot in
13:41
the front not as much oh
15:21
people behind me know who I am
15:21
okay my name over and over
15:44
all right right now the People Mover is
15:45
pretty much a walk-on it was like a two
15:47
minute wait to get on the People Mover
15:49
which is kind of good you get a bird's
15:50
eye perspective around Tomorrowland
15:52
under I call this area you could call
15:54
this our dusk I wouldn't call into the
15:56
shroud of Nightfall and it's not
15:58
completely after dark cat it's kind of
16:00
the halfway between dusk let's just call
16:02
it dust this is basically between night
16:04
time and daytime and night time full on
16:08
Dust on the People Mover and it's a
16:10
walk-on it's like a literally like a
16:12
three minute wait before I got on this
16:13
thing so I can't complain about that so
16:16
I'm pretty lucky with the wait times
16:17
thus far maybe it's because there's no
16:19
Halloween party tonight and people are
16:21
just weren't in the park and maybe
16:23
because of the heat earlier maybe it's
16:24
just the summer it's a summer miracle I
16:27
have always wanted to be evaced off the
16:28
People Mover this might be the chance
16:31
right now stuck on the People Mover if I
16:34
get obviously I'd love to walk off over
16:36
there and walk across but I'll settle
16:38
from walking off here
16:49
it feels good a nice little breeze right
16:49
here in this little section all right I
16:51
did not get stuck on the people I was
16:52
talking to people for like five minutes
16:53
but now these people up here are stuck
16:55
for a pretty good while which maybe
16:58
they're gonna get Evac but it seems like
17:00
it's just a lot of a lot of stopping up
17:02
there hey it worked out pretty good that
17:04
right when it got off of Haunted Mansion
17:06
the fireworks were just about to begin
17:08
and as the fireworks are starting I ran
17:11
right over to to Peter Pan and Peter Pan
17:16
was a walk-on it was basically just a
17:18
walk complete walk-on because everyone
17:19
was watching the fireworks so did Peter
17:21
Pan real quick with no line whatsoever
17:23
and then quickly walked out and saw the
17:26
fireworks happening I didn't really
17:27
realize this they did this but by the
17:29
carousel they end up having right before
17:31
right before Tinkerbell ends up flying
17:34
across the castle the other princesses
17:36
are standing standing watching before
17:38
the grand finale and they were waving
17:40
their friend Tinkerbell as she goes from
17:42
the castle down Main Street USA and the
17:45
grand finale of happily ever after which
17:48
was happening and then quickly after
17:50
that immediately got in line for Mine
17:52
Train so I'm gonna end gonna end the
17:54
night with my train it's been a really
17:56
good evening weather-wise and and uh
17:59
wait time rolling into
18:09
grow on this one I don't mind if I do
18:09
now on the way out we got Mickey and
18:12
Minnie up top who are saying goodbye to
18:14
everyone including myself all the guests
18:16
on the way out are just saying Mickey
18:17
and Minnie and then Minnie they did a
18:19
little spin well Mickey went over and
18:20
gave Minnie a little kiss did a little
18:22
spin around which is kind of neat to see
18:24
okay perfect timing on the way out
18:28
there
18:43
made it
18:43
on the monorail got moving and now
18:46
instead of taking the tram also they
18:49
just announced that trams are gonna be
18:50
coming back to Epcot
18:52
and to MGM well Hollywood Studios in the
18:55
near future I think September so that's
18:58
exciting
19:02
one thing I am
19:03
really liking is the fact that even
19:04
after the 50th Anniversary they have
19:06
left the undercarriage lights
19:08
on the monorail going I didn't think
19:11
they were going to do that but they did
19:12
and that's pretty dang awesome
19:30
ended up being a really good evening
19:30
weather-wise not as hot as I was
19:33
expecting
19:34
rain cooled it down during the day and
19:36
then after Nightfall was actually pretty
19:39
enjoyable for Florida it is so peaceful
19:42
down here on Market Street in the
19:45
evening it's 1105 P.M
19:47
right now the thing about Magic Kingdom
19:50
it takes a while to get out of there
19:52
that would be the only
19:54
a little negative I would say about
19:56
MK is just how long it takes getting in
19:58
and out of there
19:59
where Epcot
20:01
Animal Kingdom Hollywood Studios you
20:03
just park in the parking lot and walk in
20:05
get a really want to go to Magic Kingdom
20:07
and a lot of times I really want to go
20:08
there so I end up there
20:10
probably more than a lot of the other
20:11
Parks even though I would say
20:14
Epcot in studios probably all probably
20:15
all equal
20:20
I wonder if one day they will make a
20:20
Skyliner route
20:23
two Magic Kingdom from TTC and from TTC
20:26
to the other resorts
20:28
I feel like the Skyliner is very
20:29
efficient
20:35
and I would offer a third or even fourth
20:35
motor transportation out of Magic
20:37
Kingdom so then you'd have the Skyliner
20:39
the buses monorail
20:42
and the ferry boat
20:55
walking right down the middle of
20:55
celebrations Main Street USA also known
20:57
as Market Street
20:59
just one little block not a bad night
21:01
weather-wise all in all low wait times
21:04
at the park
21:05
I don't want to say the weather was cool
21:07
or crisp by any means definitely not as
21:10
hot
21:11
as I was thinking it was going to be
21:17
pretty enjoyable enjoyable evening we
21:17
still got a couple lights burn out there
21:20
on the spiers of the celebration theater
21:23
also no update on if or when that will
21:26
ever
21:28
be open to Residents or tourists
21:30
guests ever again
21:33
close for
21:35
gosh probably 11 years now
21:37
sometimes the fountain is on even late
21:39
at night but evidently right now they've
21:41
turned it off
21:53
nice little quick return back home and
21:53
then popping over to wdw
22:03
this thing's going to turn it on and
22:03
really surprised me
22:28
it's good to be back
22:28
I love being a pass holder at Walt
22:30
Disney World just nice to just pop in
22:31
for a little while
22:37
and honestly a lot easier than getting
22:37
into Disneyland reservations are just
22:40
pretty fluid here
22:42
and from what I was hearing January or
22:44
early next year they're pretty much
22:47
going to be doing away with most of them
22:49
most of the days you're not going to
22:50
need reservations for
22:52
not a hundred percent but pretty close
22:54
to
22:55
just eliminating that completely here
22:58
Disneyland might take a little while
23:00
longer for that to happen
23:06
but a lot more room here a lot more
23:06
Elbow Room hit the parks
23:07
just like Walt says the one thing about
23:09
Florida they had
23:10
the blessing of size
23:17
and that's gonna do it for today
23:18
I appreciate you watching
23:25
I don't know someone just yelled I'll
23:25
see you in the next video
23:27
the Vlog is
23:29
over
