1:44
to see if the tree is up they also want
1:46
to ride jingle Cruise the holiday
1:48
overlay that
1:50
started and the crowds are usually
1:53
pretty light on a party night because
1:55
the park closes at
2:08
I'm inviting you it's good to be back
2:09
join me Magic Kingdom time for the
2:11
holidays shall you also should point out
2:14
that the Mr Toad S Type vehicle is back
2:17
another spoiler as well there's going to
2:19
be a lot of theme park
2:22
and holiday Central fora I already say
2:24
that but a lot of holiday content
2:26
between now and New Year after New Years
2:27
I'm going to re-evaluate things and do
2:30
some other subject matters but I really
2:32
do not feel like traveling so just just
2:35
a heads up for the next couple months
2:38
it's yeah I'm going to be around here
2:40
also I'm sure you notice but I got my
2:42
magic band on but then also not a
2:44
pumpkin spice latte this is a sugar
2:46
cookie oat milk latte sugar cookie oat
2:50
milk latte pretty dang good and they
2:53
have the holiday cups out it is in for
2:56
the
3:00
fact
3:01
so pumping gas
3:08
Nole $3.25
3:08
here from now till Christmas in my mind
3:12
the Mickey power pole is wearing a Santa
3:28
Cat that was not a Santa impression that
3:29
was just me a good belly laugh cuzz I'm
3:31
happy I'm also pretty happy with the
3:33
thought process of just doing central
3:36
Florida stuff till New Year's again with
3:38
the exception of those that week travel
3:41
next year 2024 is going to be a
3:44
different year in a lot of ways for me
3:46
and a different year content wise but
3:50
that's a ways off I don't want to kind
3:51
of go down that I want to dive into that
3:54
yet or to go down that rabbit hole of
3:56
announcements or possib possibility of
3:59
things like like that but let's just get
4:01
through the rest of this year first
4:03
localized I have a feeling it's going to
4:05
be pretty mellow in the park today
4:08
pretty mellow just because the Christmas
4:11
party kicks off
4:13
tonight later and if there anything
4:16
that's par for the course like the
4:18
Halloween party was when the party
4:19
starts at 600 guests that have a hard
4:22
ticket to that I am not one of them at
4:24
3:00 can get in so until 3 it's usually
4:28
pretty mellow
4:30
it's 11:40 right now no it's 10:40 I
4:33
haven't changed my clock because of the
4:34
time Chang last weekend

6:13
nights which I could do that as well
6:15
over at Studios I think there's still a
6:17
few nights of that available so I'll
6:19
think about it yeah look at these bird
6:20
all these Birds go through the bags
6:28

7:53
love the holidays it's not date stamp
7:55

8:23
merch in full effect oh speaking of
8:25
Stitch look at this plush right here in
8:26
the in the holiday
8:27
season nice okay looking at the app
8:30
important reminder Magic Kingdom will
8:31
close at 600 p.m. today for preparation
8:33
for the first Mickey's merry very Merry
8:36
Christmas party I'm going to close that
8:38
now there are some attractions that
8:39
aren't too busy but a few of them are
8:41
like Big Thunder even on a party night
8:44
pre party it's 1120 right now was 40
8:46
minutes take a look at jingle Cruise 95
8:49
freaking minutes Haunted Mansion 30 we
8:51
don't not have the Haunted Mansion
8:53
overly here like the West Coast does so
8:55
two holidays have not collided on
8:58
mansion 10 minutes for the raceways over
9:01
there Space Mountain is down but the key
9:04
thing I wanted to do was jingle Cruise
9:07
which is 90 V so I figured I'd purchase
9:09
the $25 lightning Lane that way I could
9:12
do the fast pass but that was a fail so
9:14
I went on and purchased $25 lightning
9:17
Lane so that I'm set up for Genie plus
9:20
today however all of them have Genie
9:23
plus except for the one I was purchasing
9:26
it for so $25
9:30
out the window I mean I could use it on
9:31
other ones like obviously I can book
9:33
other ones but take a look jingle Cruise
9:36
the lightning lengths are all filled up
9:40
already that was a fail on my part
9:42
plenty of nice delicious holiday treats
9:44
in here as well which I will not be
9:47
consuming any of at the moment also it's
9:51
Disney's 100th 100th anniversary of the
9:53
company o it's like a big sugar cookie
9:56
down here oo that looks really really
9:59
really tasty right
10:00
there there's some of the M&M's on
10:03
there cereal
10:09
treats Candy
10:11
Apples it's
10:14
tasty I'm not a big caramel apple
10:18
guy oo a countdown to Christmas
10:22
chocolate milk chocolate presents
10:24
calendar right here that's kind of neat
10:26
one piece of candy from each day
10:27
December 1st through December 24th
10:30
that's a cute idea now I know it's not
10:32
holiday theme but I really like these
10:33
retro these retro hats over here this
10:36
retro yellow Mickey hat right there and
10:38
the little yeah they got some good they
10:40
got some good stuff over here in the old
10:42
theater not seeing any Christmasy
10:45
balloons up there however someone is
10:49
backing up okay I can definitely see
10:51
that all the lightning lanes are filled
10:53
up so it is not a mistake in any way
10:56
shape or form because if you look over
10:58
here look how long long the line is for
11:01
lightning Lane stretching out all the
11:03
way that way so I might just have to
11:06
wait the 95 minutes which you know what
11:09
what else am I doing today I want to do
11:11
jingle Cruise so I'm going to do the
11:13
jingle Cruise I'm just going to wait in
11:14
the line yes kind of like the sun is
11:17
like shadowing that out it's better from
11:18
the other angle but yeah oh my goodness
11:21
look at this lightning Lan enter here
11:24
and then the regular line is up here
11:28
says
11:30
95 for 95 freaking minutes H maybe I'll
11:33
come back by in just a little bit okay
11:35
walked over to the pen Trading Store
11:37
over in Frontier Lane I opted to wait a
11:39
little bit to see what Jungle Cruise
11:41
ends up happening I should probably get
11:42
one of these at some point it's like a
11:44
whole pen trading like backpack this
11:46
thing is like I'm starting to get a lot
11:48
of different pens but I wanted to
11:50
Showcase which one of the limited
11:52
edition Christmas ones you have so you
11:53
have the happy holidays one then you got
11:55
one with that's all the character that's
11:57
like the shirt then you got one with
11:58
Goofy on there holding a really big
12:01
present right there holy cow was
12:02
completely incorrect about how the
12:04
crowds were going to be today this is
12:06
the regular stand by line for Haunted
12:08
Mansion going all the there is hardly
12:10
ever anybody stretching all the way not
12:13
not because it's a stretch room but just
12:14
in general so yeah this is definitely a
12:17
different different experience than how
12:19
it was during the Halloween party also
12:21
on the Disney Park's blog they are
12:24
showing some of the food that's here at
12:25
MK and there's only two options that are
12:29
in Magic Kingdom other than hard
12:32
ticketed events that start today right
12:34
here you got the Chesire Cafe the
12:36
peppermint CLA which I might get also
12:38
the Columbia Harbor House has a maple
12:39
mustard glazed salmon served with green
12:41
beans and rice and I'm kind of in the
12:44
mood for maybe something Savory so maybe
12:46
I'll get both of these maybe I'll start
12:48
with the one option there's only two
12:50
options here that if unless you have the
12:53
hard ticken event that starts at 6 one
12:55
of them the Savory item right here at
12:56
the Columbia Harbor House which I guess
12:59
you know just because it has Maple
13:00
mustard on it and green beans it would
13:02
be considered a holiday christmy type of
13:04
thing so maybe I'll maybe I'll mobile
13:07
order that I also booked a lightning
13:08
Lane for Big Thunder okay the new item I
13:10
did not see on the mobile order app so
13:12
the cast member just said to get in the
13:14
line because it's the first day it might
13:16
not be on the app yet so I'm going to
13:17
try have one of the first one of these
13:20
holiday Salmons and while I'm waiting to
13:23
go up in order I wanted to show that
13:24
jingle crew is now 105 and talk to the
13:27
cast member over there said should I
13:28
come back a little later maybe around
13:29
two one or two and just see kind of what
13:32
happened she said I'm not really sure
13:34
but maybe come back and check but it is
13:36
bumped up from 95 to 105 so I might end
13:39
up when I get in line I might be waiting
13:41
in that line for a long time
13:51
later got a pretty good view here of the
13:51
man the Mansion line is dissipated just
13:53
a little bit but this is the maple glaze
13:56
doesn't really look too seasoned doesn't
13:57
look real christmy but I guess it's
13:59
going to be more about the taste bus all
14:00
right it's pretty dang good I already
14:01
had a couple bites of it it's pretty
14:03
dang tasty it definitely has like a good
14:05
maple flavor to it and the rice is
14:07
pretty good I haven't tried the green
14:08
beans yet one thing about this little
14:10
area sitting up here is you get a really
14:12
good view down of our Frontier land down
14:14
there oh take a look down there you can
14:16
see the parade going through Frontier
14:18
land that is the set there with Rapunzel
14:20
from Tangled and all them down there you
14:22
see like a lot of people watching the
14:24
parade I got a pretty good view from up
14:26
here from this this window and I oped to
14:27
get a little complimentary water there
14:30
as well the green beans are pretty good
14:31
okay this whole meal I would definitely
14:33
recommend and it's it's pretty I want to
14:34
say it's healthy but it's definitely not
14:36
the worst thing you could get I will be
14:38
getting a nice delicious treat in a
14:40
little bit so I guess just kind of like
14:42
you know counteracts that with the with
14:44
the grilled fish got to say that was
14:46
pretty dang awesome I like the theming
14:48
in here too cuz I was just up in the
14:49
Boston area you know that General
14:52
vicinity also went over to Plymouth and
14:54
where the Mayflower was kind of like
14:56
similar to the you know a lot of there's
14:58
a lot of Bost and themed stuff I think
14:59
out of everything the rice had the best
15:02
the rice had a m really good flavor had
15:04
like a whatever flavor seasoning they
15:06
put on that Rice awesome yeah I would
15:11
definitely get that again take a look at
15:13
this diving H I never noticed this
15:14
diving helmet before in here all right
15:16
from here now going to walk around the
15:18
perimeter of rivers of America and over
15:20
to Big Thunder Mountain rail to get a
15:22
little best remov them in it is a
15:23
beautiful day out today very very
15:25
beautiful you got the the little boats
15:27
going across rivers of America got a
15:29
couple moments before it's time for my
15:30
Lightning L I walked over here to Tiana
15:34
which was the former Splash Mountain but
15:36
they have added some new things over
15:37
here turns every Gathering into a party
15:40
turns neighbors into fine friends these
15:42
are new on the side here and they've
15:44
always had well not always but since
15:46
they put the wall in Splash clothes
15:47
you've always had these but I just kind
15:49
of you really making a lot of progress
15:51
on the entire Tiana's Bayou Adventure
15:54
the thing that's kind of interesting
15:55
about this is I'm hearing like the
15:56
rumors that there is not even going to
15:58
be be faciliate it's not even going to
16:00
be on the ride it's going to not even be
16:02
it's going to be like a an extension I
16:04
going say like fanfiction because
16:06
obviously it's the the company that made
16:07
it but it's not going to be based
16:09
exactly 100% on the movie in my mind
16:12
when they first announced that they were
16:13
going to be overdoing the attraction a
16:15
while back I was thinking maybe that at
16:17
a drop kind of how Breer would drop into
16:20
the Brier patch that facili would be at
16:22
the very very top and you would you know
16:24
hear the song and then you would kind of
16:26
drop in kind of like an evil moment drop
16:28
it in but they're not going to do that
16:30
from what I'm hearing so it's going to
16:32
be interesting to see what what this
16:33
what this ride bestows upon us when it
16:36
finally opens whenever that is all right
16:38
the line for lightning Lane getting the
16:40
lightning Lane line is also really
16:42
really expensive look it kind of wrapped
16:44
up in here and back and up again so a
16:46
little bit of a line for the lightning
16:47
Lane the good news is that I just
16:50
checked a jungle cruise and it's
16:52
considerably less than it was even an
16:54
hour ago so I think I worked that out
16:56
well yeah it is somehow magically Dro
16:58
down to a half hour that is amazing I
17:01
mean we went from 105 to 30 minutes
17:03
within like an hour time not complaining
17:06
I got to get on Big Thunder first though
17:08
so nothing says a holiday kickoff like
17:10
83° weather in and mostly sunny in
17:13
Central Florida right it's
17:52
haircut hello
18:10
hello where I
18:16
am all right this is looking like it's
18:16
55 minutes for standby now 55 let's just
18:19
call this 105 which means by two I
18:22
should be on this hopefully that's it
18:26
maybe that's it possibly
18:30
oh it just went up to
18:32
65 this thing is quite the conundrum
18:36
today this is what I'm here for this is
18:39
why I'm here so an hour and 5 minutes
18:41
and even though I coughed up at $25
18:44
cannot book a lightning Lane because I
18:46
didn't book it early now that was that's
18:47
on me that that's my fault I wasn't
18:49
thinking probably should have got in
18:51
early and book a lightning Lane because
18:52
they went really
18:54
quick talk to someone in line for Big
18:56
Thunder and they booked their lightning
18:57
Lane first thing in the morning morning
18:58
and their lightning Lane was for 5:00
18:59
p.m. even booking it that early that's
19:01
how popular this is that's the lightning
19:03
Lane there so the reason that the
19:05
standby is not really moving is because
19:07
there's so many lightning lights I
19:10
couple years ago 3 or four years ago
19:12
kind of had the same kind of fiasco with
19:14
this and waited a very very long time so
19:17
probably already in line about 7 8
19:18
minutes and have only moved a couple
19:20
feet it's because there are so many
19:22
lightning Lanes the lightning Lanes went
19:23
so quick after they're letting all the
19:25
lightning Lanes in probably more boats
19:29
for lightning Lanes than reg the regular
19:30
gas it's all part of the process it's
19:33
been 10 minutes so far and I moved about
19:35
2
19:37
feet now for me it's not that big of a
19:39
deal this is kind of what I do I can see
19:41
like a normal guest showing up buying
19:44
the lightning Lane not knowing that they
19:45
couldn't use it having to wait in the
19:47
regular line would probably be a little
19:50
more irritating than me who's just here
19:53
doing it because I'm an annual
19:54
passholder and I live 5 minutes
19:57
to
20:07
shrunken heads in here those are
20:07
shrunken lemons oh the sh are the
20:09
shrunken heads gone that of oh
20:12
interesting there's some bananas not
20:14
Shunk Banas sometimes us oh yeah it's
20:18
over there
20:24
it's may have increased slly we're
20:24
working hard to get you on a boat as
20:26
quickly as possible we appreciate your
20:27
patience
20:28
but we now return you to the sweet sweet
20:30
tin of Nigel green water all right very
20:32
very very slow going already been an
20:35
hour I mean I I feel like they're kind
20:37
of loading maybe three or four folks to
20:40
one when it comes to the lightning line
20:42
I don't want to say three boats to one
20:44
but they'll load eight or 9 or 10
20:45
lightning Lan people on and then two or
20:47
three of the regular guests on so it is
20:49
definitely taking a little bit of time
20:51
already been in line one complete hour
20:53
to this point but I wanted to point out
20:55
a little kind of like a little secret
20:57
over here in the far corner of jingle
20:59
Cruise take a look at this it's like
21:01
from The Shining in the very very far
21:04
far so I I said it's been an hour Bo are
21:07
loading over there take a look right up
21:09
here there is the ballroom scene
21:13
from right there take a look right there
21:26
shining and if it's not the shining and
21:26
definitely looks like the ballroom same
21:28
it reminds me of the ball R from the
21:29
shine Al it's been an hour and 6 minutes
21:32
exactly so far about halfway there maybe
21:34
not even halfway maybe probably 60% of
21:37
the way it's been an hour and 6 minutes
21:39
not really moving now been an hour and a
21:42
half you see that boat going by there
21:45
through through the shrubs I'm guessing
21:48
probably another half I'm going to guess
21:49
it's going to be a total of 2 hours I've
21:51
been waiting in the line by the time I
21:53
get on the boat at this point I'm
21:55
definitely just doing this to say I did
21:57
it and for it The Experience yeah you
22:00
know I live locally so for me I just do
22:02
this get a little treat and then go home
22:03
but yeah if I was definitely a tourist
22:05
and paid full day admission trying to do
22:07
everything in the park that probably
22:08
would be a little fumed but it is kind
22:10
of neat got the jungle all the way over
22:12
there and then you see some of the
22:13
classic like as a plastic Santa Claus
22:16
little roadside thing on the side of
22:17
that that's going to be me shortly
22:20
hopefully very very shortly they're
22:22

placement of the feet so he doesn't like
29:49
mess it up going around got the eyebrows
30:04
ears maybe he's maybe Pluto's
30:04
thirsty I think Pluto's a decaf guy a
30:07
cold coffee guy or a hot coffee
30:15
guy all right from here I'm looking at
30:15
the pretty good view of the castle I'm
30:16
going to head back over to frontierland
30:18
now and take a look at those pins and
30:21
then also head back down Main Street
30:24
how's it going all right went back over
30:26
to Frontier land pin Traders and they
30:29
ended up getting a few couple exclusive
30:31
pins they only had over at Frontier land
30:34
but then also a few other ones I keep
30:35
some for myself and then uh some like I
30:37
said earlier and I'm going to just give
30:40
away randomly I'm going to do this one a
30:42
pretty good series of times I might do
30:44
this through Christmas each day I don't
30:47
know or pretty a pretty semi-regular
30:48
basis but if anyone's interested no
30:51
obligation got the countdown lock
30:54
here at that beautiful bath
30:58
how many days it is till till Christmas
31:01
oh here's a spirit jersey o
31:04
$79 spirit jersey probably won't do any
31:08
clothing just because you know everybody
31:10
has different sizes it' probably be
31:11
something that's just kind of like all
31:13
across the board like a pin or something
31:15
like that or something that's not
31:17
sizable that just makes it too way too
31:21
complex these Lounge flies are
31:23
cute look at Huey and Dey Louie on the
31:26
side little blanket down there oh they
31:29
got a Christmas tree in here too there's
31:31
Jolly Old Saint
31:33
Nick there's a reindeer right there we
31:37
also put out the Christmas party merch
31:40
but I do not think I could have bought
31:42
the Christmas party or merch over at the
31:46
frontier land but I decided against it
31:48
just cuz I want to wait if I decide to
31:49
go to the party I'd rather buy any of
31:51
the merchandise there if I go to the
31:56
party so I opted out of that I'm still
31:58
trying to decide they're not all sold
32:00
out I might do the kind of thinking
32:01
about doing Jolly nights off the at
32:05
Studios before the season out I'm going
32:07
to do a lot of I'm going to do a lot of
32:08
Disney through through New Year ah
32:09
should I take the Montreal out or the
32:11
fairy boat I think I might take the
32:13
monil out I don't know what should I
32:41
yes I took that one monal lime that is
32:41
the resort Loop so I did stop off and
32:43
make it temporary before getting dropped
32:45
off here at
32:47
TTC oh
32:56
yeah that was a
32:56
fiasco
33:05
I feel like there could Pro maybe too
33:05
many lightning lanes are being sold and
33:07
that's what's backing up the lightning
33:08
Lane line which tapers into the regular
33:11
standby line so if you get lightning
33:13
Lane which is great you're one of the
33:15
chosen ones if you don't you're normal
33:20
guest weird a warning it's probably
33:23
going to be lengthier than what they're
33:25
stating I got in line it said 55 minutes
33:28
then it changed to 65 the total I waited
33:31
was 1 hour and 50
33:33
minutes so just keep that in mind heads
33:37
up you're going to do jingle
33:40
cruise and you don't have lightning
33:44
light where's preferred Park I parked
33:46
way the heck I didn't even Park in
33:48
preferred I parked way over
33:51
there I don't think I parked it I parked
33:53
in regular parking still got to show the
33:55
old merch Hall that I got
34:03
merch Hall merch Hall merch Hall
34:04
giveaway merch Hall K that is a full
34:07
freaking this TR is now arriving
34:10
at Simba and also I was notic on my
34:14
receipt I did show my AP you get 20% off
34:17
so I was kind of noticing I got that as
34:19
well so I got these from my own personal
34:21
collection I like to collect different
34:23
ones so obviously love me some Mickey I
34:26
got a ton of different Mickey pens and
34:28
this is is years with him balancing the
34:29
present there on the finger and you got
34:32
Alice on the Chesire Cat you got Aladdin
34:34
you got little Stitch I'm really
34:36
enjoying some Stitch lately laughing all
34:38
the way and then you got mini over here
34:41
I also got for myself the goofy holding
34:45
the the big present here but I also got
34:47
another one so this here is one of them
34:50
so let's put those over here in my pile
34:52
and then I also got this Happy Holidays
34:54
which has all this is a limited edition
34:56
here has the Snowman on the back retail
35:00
price so there's that with all of them
35:02
around the tree I feel like I'm at food
35:04
wine eating like not eating but just
35:06
showcasing on top of a trash
35:08
can so these so this this is going to be
35:11
with my little stash right there so both
35:13
of these items I'm going to do a little
35:16
giveaway of so all you have to do is go
35:17
on my Instagram and what I'm going to do
35:20
is I'm going to post a picture of this
35:21
and then after about 8 hours or so I
35:24
will pick the best comment it could
35:27
either be funny it could be heartfelt it
35:29
could just be I want that whatever it is
35:30
but I'm
35:32
thinking every day I could do this you
35:34
know it won't won't necessarily always
35:36
be Disney it could be anything I go and
35:39
do I could just buy something in each
35:41
one give it away for the
35:43
holidays you know now through Christmas
35:47
maybe even New
35:52
Year's and all all you have to do is
35:52
just leave a comment if you don't have
35:54
Instagram then I don't know what to tell
35:55
you bud if you have Instagram
35:57
you can follow me on there no you don't
35:59
have to follow me just leave a comment
36:00
you know you can just unfollow me it
36:01
doesn't even matter as long as you leave
36:02
a comment I was also kind of thinking
36:04
that basically if if others like a
36:06
certain commenter like let's say they
36:08
like your comment if you say oh you know
36:10
that particular item it doesn't
36:12
necessarily have to be something like
36:14
this if you want to wait if you're not
36:15
into Disney Pence wait a couple days
36:17
I'll go somewhere else it might be
36:18
something else that you might like so
36:20
obviously when someone could could win
36:23
it or have it sent to them probably will
36:25
not be in the following I'll probably
36:27
remember that screen name and probably
36:29
won't send another one out to that
36:30
person so don't really chime in on
36:32
something that you're not interested in
36:34
so maybe wait a little bit but over time
36:37
you know as like five or six hours later
36:39
after the photo is posted and people are
36:40
leaving that comment there could be
36:43
Hearts left on there I think on
36:45
Instagram you can leave different Hearts
36:46
so people deem that someone else should
36:49
get a certain item then I'll see that
36:51
it's like oh that got 17 likes and
36:53
everybody else got one like maybe I'll
36:56
side with with the person who has the 17
36:58
likes and then people can comment say
36:59
give it to this person and then I will
37:01
direct message them get the address and
37:04
send it out the next day sounds like a
37:06
fun idea I don't know why not just
37:08
something to do I'm pretty grateful for
37:10
what I do I'm grateful for those that
37:11
are watching and just kind of just kind
37:14
of a fun interactive thing to do also
37:16
kind of curious to see how it morphs
37:18
throughout the end of the year with
37:21
different other items I could find you
37:23
know who knows maybe I don't know gift
37:25
cards things like that I just I figure
37:27
some other things out
37:30
but and maybe it won't work maybe it'll
37:32
backfire dramatically it it might
37:34
backfire dramatically but at least I'll
37:36
try it and if it does backfire
37:38
dramatically then it just won't do it
37:40
this is me right here I have a whopping
37:43
eight
37:45
photos again don't have to follow just
37:47
leave a comment just go on a go on the
37:49
photo it'll be the newest photo there
37:52
both the pens I just showed and then
37:54
Future Days I will show post other stuff
37:58
and then I'll delete the photo after I
37:59
send it out but when I send the items
38:02
out so each day there'll be a a new one
38:06
on here yeah just leave a
38:08
comment that's all you got to do
