welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:02
coming to you from the top level of what
0:04
is now the parking garage the parking
0:07
structure at Disney Springs they just
0:10
changed the Nam very recently for years
0:13
and the way I remember it is downtown
0:16
Disney but this is no longer Downtown
0:19
Disney this
0:30
is Disney Springs is just over this
0:30
cusp of this fence area look at
0:43
this pretty crazy I have so many
0:43
memories of coming here early 90s moved
0:47
to Florida started going to Disney a lot
0:50
I would spend a lot of time in the
0:52
mid99s and late '90s at Downtown Disney
0:55
wandering this property where I am
0:58
standing right now is actually a flat
1:00
parking lot stretching all on this side
1:03
then they built the AMC movie theaters
1:06
which you can kind of see right through
1:09
there you can see the AMC
1:12
Theaters and the thing I really want to
1:14
focus on today is Planet Hollywood how
1:17
it still is there Planet Hollywood you
1:20
can kind of see the Planet Hollywood
1:23
earth right
1:30
there and I was actually here on the
1:30
opening day of Planet Hollywood now I
1:33
did not remember the exact year and the
1:35
exact date but it was very early '90s I
1:38
was working at a grocery store I worked
1:39
third shift and I had to be at work at
1:41
like 10:00 p.m. and I remember it
1:44
vividly just like Doc Brown when Doc
1:47
Brown went back to the future was like
1:48
this is all Farmland as far as the I can
1:50
see old man Peabody and all of it that's
1:53
kind of how I feel right now about how
1:55
this is not the Twin Pines mall but I am
1:57
getting the Twin Pines mall feeling
2:00
because as I get older I have memories
2:02
of how things used to be and obviously
2:05
progress has taken progress is his
2:08
middle name progress is taking over and
2:11
I'm looking back fondly in my mind's eye
2:15
at the Grand Opening celebration of
2:18
Planet Hollywood now I was going to go
2:19
down there and actually film the front
2:21
of Planet Hollywood I was going to film
2:23
some of the Fantastic wonderful things
2:26
that exist still in front of Planet
2:29
Hollywood but there is a a lot of music
2:31
playing down there there's a lot of
2:33
copywritten music so it's way easier and
2:35
we get a much better Bird's eyee view of
2:38
plet of Hollywood from basically right
2:40
up here but whatever day that was if you
2:42
could just Google it for me and leave a
2:43
comment down below I would appreciate it
2:45
do some Columbo like research on what
2:47
the opening day of Planet Hollywood was
2:49
they had a bunch of celebrities out here
2:51
Arnold is out here that's right that's
2:53
right here I was right in front of there
2:55
come on come on Planet Hollywood of
2:57
course Arnold Sylvester Stallone Bruce
2:59
Willis originally came up the idea and
3:02
made Planet Hollywood and then they sold
3:05
it and Planet Hollywood as its own
3:07
entity of its own but there was a lot of
3:09
people all standing right in here I was
3:12
one of them before I went to work on the
3:14
night shift at the grocery store I
3:17
showed up to the Grand Opening
3:18
celebration and saw Ros o Donald and the
3:21
people I mentioned and other celebrities
3:23
all right in this area and there
3:27
actually used to be a spinning d dinur
3:30
if you who remembers this if you
3:31
remember this leave some comments as
3:33
well right where they're doing all this
3:34
construction there was actually a
3:36
circular building next to Planet
3:39
Hollywood where there was a dinosaur
3:41
that would actually spin around like
3:44
basically right in there and there was a
3:46
lot of handprints on the wall from the
3:47
very early '90s kind of like Hollywood
3:49
Boulevard has the handprints in the c or
3:52
Hollywood studi MGM here at Walt Disney
3:55
World Resort has the handprints well
3:57
they kind of did that in front of
3:58
plantet Hollywood they had the
3:59
handprints smooshed on the wall I was
4:01
going to show you guys that but as you
4:03
can see all that has been demolished
4:06
Downtown Disney is nothing more than a
4:08
memory and Disney Springs progress is
4:12
taking over Downtown Disney and Disney
4:15
Springs is in full swing and soon this
4:19
will be a Mecca of consumerism here in
4:23
Kumi SL Orlando Florida downtown Disney
4:27
all through there that's where Pleasure
4:29
Island used to be you would walk over
4:31
that bridge into Pleasure Island which
4:33
also was a separate admission price to
4:36
get in if you were over the age of 18
4:39
you could actually get into Pleasure
4:40
Island and dance the night away and I
4:42
remember actually coming here right now
4:44
I'm 41 years old I remember being 17
4:46
showing up to Pleasure Island and
4:48
dreaming and wishing and hoping for the
4:50
day when I could actually go into
4:52
Pleasure Island and think that was so
4:54
long ago Pleasure Island does not even
4:57
exist anymore so I just wanted to show
4:59
you this little flashback a little walk
5:02
down my memory lane and show you guys
5:05
the construction
5:07
update of Downtown Disney
5:10
now Disney
5:13
Springs it's pretty sad to think how
5:15
things change and now I'm all about
5:17
progress I am all about things
5:19
progressing but it's very it's kind of
5:21
sad to remember the past and remember
5:24
things that used to be there that are no
5:25
longer there like also not only the
5:28
handprints on the side of the circular
5:30
building with the dinosaur spinning
5:31
around but there was also the boat was
5:34
down there from the boat from Forest
5:38
Gump I drew a blank there for a second
5:40
the Tom Hanks movie Forest Gump was
5:42
actually down there there was actually
5:43
water all around there was like a moat
5:45
around Planet Hollywood and they had one
5:48
of the hedges the Hedge trim the hedges
5:53
they had one of the hedges from Edward
5:55
Scissor Hands right down there now I'm
5:57
sure anyone that's watching this that
5:58
has never been here would say oh they
6:00
never had that down there because when
6:02
you show up eventually you are only
6:03
going to know what is here currently or
6:06
in the future but those of us who
6:08
remember the old school Planet Hollywood
6:10
stuff chime in down below I want to hear
6:13
your memories I want to share this look
6:16
back at the old school downtown Disney
6:18
Planet Hollywood some leave some
6:20
comments down below I also I want to let
6:22
you guys know also I just did an
6:23
interview with Tom and Dan they do a
6:26
show called a mediocre time and another
6:29
