0:12
for a record player I just need a
0:15
shelf had the record player delivered a
0:18
couple days ago got some Bluetooth
0:20
speakers to go along with it I've been
0:22
collecting a few records over my travels
0:24
the last few years I don't have a lot
0:27
but I have a few and I figure it's time
0:28
to get said players to go with those
0:31
LPS do some thrift shopping today also
0:34
going to go to recycling the magic which
0:37
is a store that has a lot of Disney
0:39
paraphernalia they used to be at the
0:40
Lakeland Antique Mall Lakeland antique
0:42
store closed for a short while it has
0:45
reopened it moved not going to be going
0:48
to Lakeland today but it is on my radar
0:50
sometime in the near future but one of
0:52
the stores that was in there open their
0:54
own brick and mortar shop so I'm going
0:56
to stop by there and then probably some
0:58
thrift stores just see where the day
1:00
leads I'm inviting you to join me it's
1:02
good to have you here shall you my kit
1:05
kat clock stopped working the batteries
1:08
kind of croaked out on it so I set it at
1:11
10:04 a little Back to the Future knot
1:13
it is not 10:04 at the moment it's
1:15
around noon right now but I like the
1:18
10:04
1:19
nod and what I'm thinking is over
1:24
here is where I'm going to
1:26
put the record player right here I feel
1:30
like that's a pretty good spot so I'm
1:31
going take a tape measure measure that
1:33
underneath my Elvis photo there or Elvis
1:36
painting or print I should say of young
1:39
Elvis looking at his future self in his
1:42
birthplace in Tupelo same town I was
1:45
born in I'm a t below Mississippi Boy
1:47
myself just like Elvis I think right
1:49
there would be a good spot now you can
1:52
kind of see
1:53
how there's enough for him put a little
1:57
elevated I don't know in table right
1:59
there and then I'll put the record
2:01
player on there may to get some records
2:03
while I'm out my Globe there for the
2:04
travels lots of world travels still
2:06
coming up this is a little Barren but
2:09
over time my house is getting there
2:12
slowly but surely I'm not going anywhere
2:13
I'm going to be here for the Long Haul
2:15
so I'll fill it up be kind of neat to
2:18
have so this this is these are all the
2:19
records I have I don't have a whole heck
2:20
of a lot but it'd be kind of neat to
2:22
have something I could put those below
2:24
the record player and then the record
2:25
player above it truthfully I might not
2:27
even find anything that fits there
2:30
and if that's the case I'll put it on
2:31
where the records are right now but
2:33
either way I got the record player I'll
2:34

rec

6:24
record player though right in that
6:26

9:31
instead of being at the Lakeland antique
9:33

9:35
right on Highway 50 in fact it's so
9:37

Disneyland one is here you leave today
10:13
and ENT the world of yesterday tomorrow
10:14
and
10:15
fantasy really good selection of items
10:18
kind of interesting to to see a lot of
10:20
the things I'm used to seeing over at
10:22
the Lakeland Antique Mall moved over
10:24
here but they actually had some stuff
10:26
they did not have in Lakeland then again
10:28
every time I saw them when they they
10:29
were in that back cour of the Lakeland
10:30
antique mall he always had some new
10:32
stuff each time each and every time I'd
10:33
pop in every few
10:34
months and par for the course they
10:37
continue to get stuff in as well I
10:39
wasn't didn't really have my eye on
10:40
buying anything but I did find a few
10:42
items on the way
10:44
out they see talking to the owners and
10:46
they said they're doing pretty good here
10:48
they have their own call it a brick and
10:50
mortar spot but basically just
10:52
a I don't think there's any brick on the
10:54
building it's just a a mortar
10:57
spot right here off Highway 50 in
11:01
Oakland not Oakland California Oakland
11:05
Florida got check it out and I still
11:08
need to get over to Lakeland antique
11:10
mall at some point and see their new
11:12
smaller version of the Lakeland Antique
11:13
Mall Lakeland antique mall is not just
11:15
one vendor like this is one vendor
11:17
Lakeland antique Mall's got like a 100
11:18
vendors or you know multiple dozens of
11:23
vendors and I'll show what I ended up
11:26
buying I got the balloons out for they
11:28
also said that this is not the the store
11:31
is not officially open yet they're soft
11:32
opening they're going to do a big grand
11:34
opening they were saying maybe in
11:35
May don't think I'll be here for the
11:38
grand opening but it's open now you can
11:40
show up it's just a soft opening grand
11:42
opening going to big do big festivity
11:43
and have some things going on according
11:46
to the according to the
11:48
owners but I got a few items here I
11:51
ended up getting that Big Thunder book
11:53
and I got a couple Disney Dollars ended
11:55
up buying this I wasn't I kind of looked
11:57
online to see if it was comparable and
11:59
it seemed like price-wise it was
12:00
comparable this was $60 little high
12:03
price but how often do you see a Big
12:04
Thunder Mountain Railroad Disneyland
12:06
press kit and then I ended up get
12:08
actually it was $64 say right there but
12:11
I was looking online and some of them go
12:12
for this price and a little bit more
12:13
sure if I searched hard enough I
12:15
probably could have got it for a much
12:17
better deal but you know I'm impulse
12:19
buyer it's got the bats on the front
12:22
there let me uh flip this open the thing
12:25
is cool about it it's dated winter 1979
12:32
25th anniversary
12:32
there pamphlet in there as well and it
12:36
has all these Big Thunder strikes it has
12:38
1313 Harbor Boulevard the address of
12:42
Disneyland this is explaining for
12:44
immediate release on what Big Thunder
12:47
Mountain Railroad is for those not not
12:49
knowing what it is a thrilling Runaway
12:51
Mine Train adventure and then these are
12:55
really rare photos of the attraction
12:58
with him get on it and then one of them
13:01
had had the characters in it so you kind
13:04
of go along here here's the characters
13:07
Big Thunder strikes photo from
13:09
Disneyland publicity department they
13:11
have it all typed out and you open this
13:13
up you got all the all the characters
13:15
tweetle D tweetle Dum
13:17
Pinocchio Pluto Mickey mini Captain Hook
13:19
in the back he's terrified he's not like
13:21
roller coasters trusty number
13:25
six yeah I think it's a pretty good deal
13:28
again I probably could have searched and
13:29
maybe got it a little a little cheaper
13:32
but anything Big Thunder I'm I'm
13:37
into and then there's this which is on
13:42
the inside the Disneyland line Big
13:44
Thunder Edition look at
13:47
this photo of cast taken during first
13:49
week of
13:51
training Tweedle D and tweetle I'm doing
13:53
the ribbon cutting there
14:19
Bones nice all right I made it back over
14:19
in town now into
14:20
celebration so evidently in the last day
14:23
or so Disney has bought this building
14:26
they've been leasing parts of it not the
14:28
whole thing but they have bought this
14:30
entire
14:31
building here in Celebration Florida
14:34
they do have
14:36
offices around celebration but they are
14:38
paying almost $20
14:40
million for this building granted Disney
14:44
did build the town back in the early
14:46
'90s but they sold a lot of it
14:48
off but now Disney is throwing its hat
14:50
back in the ownership ring and they are
14:54
they have bought this entire building
14:56
for just shy of 20 mil
15:11
celebration again they did have some
15:12
offices that they were Leasing and
15:13
renting in here but now this whole
15:15
thing's there so who knows what the
15:16
future holds with Disney and celebration
15:19
again very interesting development I
15:21
don't know it's kind of kind of
15:27
fascinating pretty
15:27
cool yeah addess is 1390 celebration
15:31
Boulevard believe it
15:40
is and his new developments
15:40
unfold as I live here in town I'm
15:42
curious to see what those
15:44
are I got to go home and set up a record
15:46
player I think I have a table that is
15:48
going to work I was hoping it'd be a
15:50
little taller and just a little wider
15:52
but once I get the record player on
15:54
there I think it's going to look pretty
15:56
nice and I could always get a crate of
15:59
some
16:00
sort and put the records underneath it
16:03
down there give it kind of a rustic look
16:06
if I se choose or I could just keep them
16:08
on the shelf right next door right next
16:11
to
16:12
them I'm going to put up my
16:16
Hawaii picture all right this turned out
16:18
pretty
16:19
good got the surfing girl over there and
16:23
I got the Aloha small one here which I
16:25

17:43
grow these are the ones I own some of
17:46

17:48
few years I haven't had a record player

17:53

18:01
go along with them like this one I
