Pumpkin Spice Day At Starbucks
Transcript
0:03
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:03
the recording of this. It is Tuesday,
0:04
August 26th,
0:07
2025. Also known as the first official
0:10
day of pumpkin spice goodness. The fall
0:15
menu is arriving at multiple places, but
0:20
I'm going to go head over to Starbucks
0:21
where I'm going to get myself a pumpkin
0:23
spice hot latte and a few other items
0:27
that drop today. Tomorrow I leave for an
0:30
undisclosed amount of time. And the
0:32
reason it's undisclosed, I don't really
0:33
know how long it's going to be. I will
0:35
be either gone a week to 10 days or a
0:40
month. So, it's kind of like in the
0:43
there's that there's a little cusp there
0:45
where I have about a week where I could
0:47
come home after the events and or things
0:50
that I will be doing. It's also raining,
0:52
starting to rain a little bit harder.
0:54
And I can either come home for five or
0:57
six, seven days and then go back to
0:58
other things that I have planned or just
1:01
stay out. And I'm kind of leaning
1:02
towards maybe staying out, but I might
1:04
come home
1:07
because I'm going to be here most of
1:09
October. So, it just kind of probably
1:12
makes sense to stay out, but I don't
1:13
know. Anyway, undisclosed
1:16
amount of time. Not only putting it out
1:18
there undisclosed, but also undisclosed
1:20
to me because I have no idea. I'm just
1:21
kind of kind of winging the next, you
1:24
know, couple days of the month and then
1:27
into September. Anyway, pumpkin spice
1:29
latte day or pumpkin spice day and they
1:32
have lattes. Join me. Let's go to
1:34
Starbucks,
1:36
shall we? It's probably about 3/4 or
1:40
maybe even a mile from here to downtown
1:43
Celebration. And I just saw someone
1:45
walking with an umbrella with a pumpkin
1:48
spice drink. They really wanted They
1:52
really wanted that pumpkin spice. I do
1:54
have I do have windshield wipers on
1:56
this. They don't really do a lot, but I
1:59
do have windshield wipers to turn those
2:01
on.
2:03
Current temperature 86°.
2:07
It's going to be cloudy around 4, but
2:09
right now it's 2:26. And it's raining
2:12
with a slight chance of thunderstorms.
2:18
I'll just probably turn this off. One
2:18
thing that is nice about the rain though
2:21
does help with the heat and it is very
2:23
hot in summertimes in Florida.
2:25
It's coming down pretty good. I'm going
2:28
to do a little U-turn here. Parked right
2:31
over here. All right, let's take a quick
2:33
little peek here at what has been
2:35
released as of this morning. Now, I am a
2:38
hot coffee guy, so I'm going to probably
2:39
go with this version here. I don't know
2:41
if I should get the whipped cream on it.
2:42
Maybe I'll go sands the whipped cream.
2:45
But I guess if you're going to do it
2:46
right, you should probably go for the
2:47
gusto, right? Pumpkin spice latte. They
2:50
also have an iced pumpkin spice latte
2:52
for those that want a cold beverage.
2:55
They have a cappuccino blended beverage
2:57
and iced pumpkin cream chai. That sounds
3:00
pretty freaking good. Cream cold brew,
3:03
peon crunch, peon oatmeal,
3:07
portado, and ice chai latte. And then we
3:10
kind of get down to the bakery items.
3:12
This is brand new from what I was
3:14
reading. A pumpkin cream cheese muffin.
3:16
Oh, yeah. I'm going to get one of those.
3:18
A baked apple croissant, which I think
3:20
they've had in previous years. This came
3:23
out today, I believe, as well. I'm going
3:24
to get the raccoon cake pop.
3:28
And they have a pumpkin and papita loaf,
3:31
which I don't think I'm going to get
3:32
that. And then they have your standards,
3:33
the hazelnut, brown sugar, all day
3:36
breakfast. I believe these were released
3:37
today, too. So, I'll probably get some
3:39
of the Italian sausage egg bites. So,
3:42
let's just scroll up here. Go over to
3:44
pumpkin spice latte. All right. It comes
3:46
with five pumps of pumpkin sauce. I'm
3:49
going with three. No whipped cream. I'm
3:52
going to keep the pumpkin spice topping
3:54
on top.
3:56
It is coming down.
4:00
It's coming down. I got to walk from
4:01
here. I guess I could drive over and
4:03
park right in front and grab it,
4:07
but I got to walk from here
4:10
over to there.
4:11
I could just try it for the front.
4:13
>> All right. Pumpkin cream cheese muffin
4:21
warmed. We'll just get it. I go with the
4:21
standard. Added it to order. And the
4:24
raccoon cake pop, which I I'm pretty
4:27
sure this was released today. So, I
4:28
grabbed the raccoon cake pop.
4:31
Vanilla cake mixed with buttercream
4:32
dipped in icing and finished with a
4:34
raccoon face design. Had to order. And
4:38
lastly, these Italian sausage egg bites.
4:45
Crumbled Italian sausage, sundried
4:45
tomato pesto, basil, and McGomery Jack
4:48
cheese folded into a cage tree eggs and
4:50
cooked using the French I don't know
4:52
what that what is that French word
4:54
technique to create a velvety texture
4:57
that's full of flavor.
4:59
All right, going to the Starbucks
5:01
located at 715 Bloom Street right here
5:04
downtown Celebration right off Market
5:06
Street. be ready in a couple minutes.
5:08
Four to seven minutes. See if I can pull
5:10
up a little closer.
5:13
I do like the fact that this has a roof
5:15
above it.
5:17
So, you don't really get too wet unless
5:18
it's downpouring and the rain is coming
5:20
in diagonally.
5:24
That's like coming off that roof back
5:24
there
5:27
pretty quick. Like,
5:32
probably where I was is probably closer
5:32
than here, but we'll spin around and
5:34
park right here. Perfect timing once I
5:36
got out of Mini Marge, my glorified golf
5:39
cart, electric cart. Look at the puddles
5:41
already formulating. It was like
5:43
downpouring just for a few minutes, but
5:44
just in that few minutes,
5:47
it's like a puddle here. But it slowed
5:50
down as I jumped out. They still haven't
5:51
fixed this. They haven't fixed this area
5:54
here with the
5:56
got the little temporary stansions and
5:57
stuff, but
6:02
fountain over there in the distance. I
6:02
got a couple minutes till my order is
6:04
ready. I'm thinking about going over to
6:06
a picnic table which is way over there
6:09
that's under the out of the elements.
6:11
Got a little roof on it. Maybe I'll go
6:13
over there, drive my car a little
6:14
closer.
6:20
You know what? The music's not on
6:20
through here and I love it. Might be the
6:23
first time I've never heard music in
6:25
this area. Usually it's pumping through
6:27
these,
6:32
but I like the ambiance and just the
6:32
sights and the sounds of quietness.
6:36
The sounds of the not only the fountain
6:38
right there in the middle of the Lake
6:39
Reinhard, but also the fountain in front
6:42
of the now defunct theater, which no
6:45
longer will play movies anymore. It's
6:46
been closed for like 11, 12 years, and
6:48
now the gut of the inside. They're
6:49
turning it into some sort of a workout
6:50
space of some sort. More on that when it
6:53
opens. I'm not really sure what it's
6:54
going to be, but
6:56
all right, go get my pumpkin spice
6:59
stuff.
7:01
I'm excited. I actually had it marked on
7:04
the calendar.
7:06
I had had it marked on my little
7:09
calendar book. So, when I got up, looked
7:10
at the calendar, I go, "Oh, it's pumpkin
7:12
spice day."
7:14
I guess I could eat out here. There was
7:15
hardly anybody sitting outside. One or
7:18
two people, but they got umbrellas out
7:20
here. All right, accomplished. They
7:22
wrote yum on the cup itself. And I have
7:25
a little bag. I'm going to go with my
7:27
first thought and go over to away from
7:29
Starbucks over to a little secluded
7:31
table around the back of the lake.
7:43
Got a little car wash or a little cart
7:43
wash I should say, which is good because
7:45
this thing does get dirty sometimes.
7:47
Take it out in the rain, couple minutes
7:48
later, it's clean. Funny how that works.
7:50
Yeah, kind of mellow down here with the
7:53
rain and all that transpiring. Not a lot
7:56
of people out by the lake shore. No one
8:00
wants to stand out in the pouring rain.
8:02
Makes sense.
8:28
Nice peaceful day before getting on
8:28
another plane tomorrow.
8:39
Feeding the wildlife.
8:39
As much as they want a little pumpkin
8:41
spice latte
8:49
or a delicious treat or a cake pop. No,
8:49
you're not supposed to. All right, it's
8:51
open. I think I just got a mosquito on
8:54
my hand on my filming hand. Get off me,
8:57
mosquito. Get off of there.
9:15
All right, this is what we're dealing
9:15
with. Got the
9:19
venty pumpkin spice latte. Three pumps,
9:21
no whip or light whip. I think I order
9:23
light whip, but maybe they put a little
9:24
or no whip. No, they put no whip, but I
9:26
think I ordered light whip. Either way,
9:28
pumpkin cream cheese muffin. Total of
9:33
four items. Let's get this muffin out of
9:34
here in a second. The Italian sauce. Oh,
9:37
this is warm. This This feels good.
9:39
Comes with a little fork there.
9:42
And the raccoon cake pop right down in
9:46
there. Oh, cute and cakey. The humidity
9:49
is definitely permeating out here. That
9:53
is like such a cute little cake pop
9:54
right there. Look at that little thing.
9:59
It's going to be really awkward if this
10:00
has been out every day this whole whole
10:02
year and it wasn't something that was
10:03
released today, but I'm pretty sure this
10:04
was the pumpkin cream cheese muffin.
10:08
Comes with a nice little orange wrapping
10:10
on it there. And
10:13
the Italian sausage egg bites, of
10:16
course, the I should take a sip of this
10:17
latte.
10:19
All right, wearing an appropriate spooky
10:21
season. Well, fall season. This isn't
10:24
really spooky treats, but it is fall
10:26
treats.
10:28
I guess it's fall time. It's Halloween
10:29
time and fall time.
10:35
Oh,
10:35
okay. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. There's a reason
10:38
that this is uh this is needed
10:42
or there's a reason this is look looked
10:44
forward to.
10:46
All right. This is the pumpkin cream
10:48
cheese muffin.
10:51
See if we can get a little bit of
10:52
everything in there. Let's do that. Put
10:54
the bag over here.
10:57
Switch it up a little bit.
11:13
The humidity is making the bag stick to
11:13
my elbow.
11:16
It's pumpkin spot. Oh, I forgot these.
11:18
How about I put one of Let me taste one
11:20
of these.
11:26
Oh, yeah.
11:26
Look at this
11:28
Florida humidity. Got to love it. That
11:30
is good. Oh my gosh.
11:42
That is next level good. Doesn't really
11:42
fit in with drinking a hot coffee
11:44
though. That's probably more something
11:45
for like a cold brew.
11:53
Let's go with the muffin.
11:53
I don't know why I keep showing this,
11:54
but
11:56
this is the pumpkin cream cheese muffin.
12:21
That is tasty.
12:21
I hardly ever get any kind of food items
12:23
from Starbucks. Usually, usually it's
12:25
just coffees or like a water or
12:29
something like that, but
12:31
I decided today's the day. Get the Let
12:33
me pull this off of here. You can see
12:36
the logo in all its glory.
12:43
I went to the original Starbucks. Well,
12:43
the oldest operating Starbucks, I should
12:45
say, in Seattle many times. And the logo
12:47
is slightly different there. It's a
12:49
little more risque. Cleaned it up a
12:51
little bit here.
12:53
The one in Seattle, the first one or the
12:54
oldest operating one.
12:57
You could look it up yourself. It's a
12:59
little It's a little It's a little more
13:03
risque than this one. They've kind of
13:05
cleaned it a little bit. Trying to get
13:08
everything in one frame here, but I
13:10
don't really know if it's working. Wish
13:11
there was like some way I could just
13:12
stick this right here.
13:15
The cream cheese is not throughout the
13:17
entire muffin. It's only on the top
13:19
portion. There's some sort of like
13:21
chunks of something in there, but it's
13:23
good. It's really good.
13:32
It's a nice little add-on
13:32
to a warm coffee or warm latte.
13:43
Oh, that's good.
13:43
>> Oh, that is so dang good. But this thing
13:46
here is like next level. I didn't think
13:48
these would be this good. These are
13:50
amazing.
13:57
Am I supposed to feed you, squirrel? I
13:58
know you're probably going to want some
13:59
of this pumpkin spice goodness.
14:02
Just sitting here for just a small
14:04
amount of time. I'm starting to precipit
14:08
I'm sorry. Well, not precipitate. It was
14:09
precipitating. I'm starting to sweat
14:13
profusely. It's It's hot, warm, humid.
14:37
Wow, that's good.
14:37
I might do I might be doing pumpkin
14:39
spice lattes the rest of the season.
14:42
Even though I probably should go with
14:43
the sugar-free I know they have sugarree
14:44
vanilla. I usually get sugar- free
14:45
vanilla lattes. Doesn't make a whole
14:48
heck of a lot of difference. I know the
14:49
grand scheme of things and I'm gorging
14:51
myself with all these other treats, but
14:52
at least it's something. Doesn't have
14:55
quite the uh the bite as a regular
14:56
vanilla latte. Maybe. I have to check
15:00
and see next time if they have a
15:02
sugar-free pumpkin spice latte because
15:04
this is so good. This is like worth the
15:07
wait.
15:10
Pumpkin spice is back, baby.
15:20
It's officially Halloween right now
15:20
in [clears throat] August.
15:25
All right, take a stroll back to the
15:25
cart.
15:27
Had my pumpkin spice goodness.
15:31
That muffin was so good.
15:34
All right, I'll go in on Got the coffee
15:36
teetering right there on the fence and
15:38
got the cake pop.
15:50
M. Oh man,
15:50
those are good.
16:10
That goes so good with this.
16:10
That is a combo if ever there was one.
16:15
Oh, the muffin was a good combo, too.
16:17
But you're getting kind of like a little
16:19
muffiny
16:21
bready cake- like treat with the coffee.
16:24
Can't go wrong.
16:29
And the [snorts] little shell around it.
16:29
the
16:31
coating shell.
16:37
I think the weather and the rain has
16:37
subsided quite a bit now. Grab one of
16:40
these rocking chairs.
16:42
Just sit here and polish the rest of
16:45
this off. Oh, this is good. Now, in the
16:47
past, I've I don't know why I said it
16:49
that way. In the past, in the past,
16:52
what's that bird?
16:55
You're laughing at me, bird. Okay, I
16:57
don't know how to speak, but in the past
16:59
I've had pumpkin spice flavoring added
17:02
to coffee. It's not that good. It's not
17:04
as good as the lattes. So, I think now
17:07
I'm strictly a latte guy, but cuz I've
17:10
had the just add some of the pumpkin
17:11
flavor into the coffee, man. It just
17:13
does not have the same the same
17:15
sensation as getting an actual what do
17:17
they call that? A
17:20
PTL. No, pumpkin
17:24
PSL. Pumpkin spice latte.
17:28
I'm thinking of the PTL Club.
17:36
A PSL.
17:36
It's PSL time. I think that's what they
17:38
shorten it for. I've seen some
17:39
merchandise in the Disney parks that has
17:41
PSL on it for pumpkin spice latte.
17:45
And there's a reason people like this
17:47
cuz this is it's a it's a whole vibe and
17:50
a cut. It's a vibe in a cup.
17:59
Oh yeah,
17:59
that hits just the right tingling.
18:07
Flavor tingling.
18:07
I'm not a good reviewer.
18:11
Yeah, I'm going be leaving town going to
18:13
Georgia
18:15
for a few days till
18:18
early next week till Monday of next week
18:20
and then that point flying back to SoCal
18:24
and going to be out there until
18:27
throughout the next weekend. So, this
18:29
upcoming weekend gone, the weekend after
18:32
that gone, and then I could come home,
18:35
like I said, for a week, but then I've
18:38
got to go back out to the West Coast for
18:41
some other things I have planned after
18:43
that week towards the middle end of the
18:46
month. So, I'm thinking, I don't know,
18:48
should I come home? the money what I
18:50
would spend to come home. I could put
18:51
that towards hotels to just stay out
18:54
there and do other stuff
18:57
because I am doing the whole not really
19:00
going anywhere in October,
19:03
maybe even early November and very end
19:05
of September. So, I'll be around a lot.
19:08
So, I don't know if it makes sense to
19:10
bounce back and forth.
19:12
I'll kind of decide. I'll flip a coin
19:14
when it's time to when it's time to book
19:17
a flight or not. Anyway, just thinking
19:20
out loud. It is wild to think we're
19:21
kneede in spooky season and it's not
19:24
even the end of August yet chat. I mean,
19:26
it's pretty much here. Midsummer Scream
19:29
already has come and gone.
19:32
I've already done one of the events at
19:34
Disneyland. I went to Disney Disneyland
19:36
Halloween party, the OogieOogie Bash,
19:39
and other things. Been buying Halloween
19:41
decorations, which I'll put up starting
19:43
October 1st. But it's here. It's here.
19:48
I know I keep I keep repeating myself
19:50
saying it's here, but
19:52
yeah, we're in it. And it's not even
19:54
it's not even the 1 of September yet.
19:56
Spooky time, fall time, pumpkin spice
20:00
time. I think the caffeine's starting to
20:03
kick in.
20:11
When I first moved to Celebration, which
20:11
December, well, let's call it New
20:13
Year's. I got the keys the very end of
20:16
November of last year.
20:18
And I was moving for 6 weeks until New
20:21
Year's Eve and then I officially quote
20:23
unquote officially moved out at the
20:26
start, you know,
20:28
New Year's Eve. New Year's Day 2 years
20:31
ago. So, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day
20:34
coming up will be 2 years. I bought the
20:36
house, got the house in celebration, and
20:39
had a garage. And I knew that having the
20:41
garage, I would want to get a golf cart,
20:43
glorified golf cart.
20:46
And I did. I bought one. Just looking
20:48
down at the odometer and how many miles
20:50
are on this 835 [music]
20:52
miles I've already put on many March in
20:55
that amount of time in less than 2
20:56
years. Just driving around celebration.
20:59
And I felt like having the garage and to
21:02
be a Celebration resident, it kind of
21:04
drives the point home. If you're driving
21:06
around in a golf cart, why not? You got
21:08
a garage. I figured why not? Part of the
21:10
reason I purchased one was not only to
21:12
just do, you know, go get coffee and
21:14
just do anything in town. There's no
21:16
reason to really take my vehicle when I
21:17
could just take a golf cart. In fact,
21:19
there's another golf cart going by here.
21:20
Some maintenance, guys. But also for
21:23
October through Christmas, cuz there's
21:27
going to be so many Halloween
21:28
decorations up, so many Christmas
21:29
decorations up the last three months of
21:31
the year. And what better way to
21:33
showcase them in my hometown than to
21:35
just drive around at a slow pace in a
21:39
golf cart waving to the other my
21:41
neighbors, the locals, the other
21:43
residents of town, seeing what they've
21:45
put up, seeing what I put up.
21:54
Definitely a neat neat little thing to
21:54
do on the golf cart. Driving around
21:56
looking at decorations during the
21:57
holidays. I love this. This is my
21:59
favorite park, too. Savannah Park.
22:05
This reminds me of England. The other
22:05
day I drove by this baseball field and
22:07
all these birds were in the field
22:09
itself. Now they're outside the field on
22:13
the other side of the home run fence.
22:17
Same birds though, or at least the same
22:18
family of birds, or at least they knew
22:20
the other birds. Same types of birds.
22:24
Pennywise, right down there in there,
22:26
Pennywise.
22:44
Uh-oh. Something's going on here. Look
22:44
at this. They have the little survey
22:46
markers.
22:48
The
22:49
little stuck in the ground flags there
22:53
with more of them up here. I'm almost
22:55
like running into the curb.
23:05
Oh, it says it says buried power. That's
23:05
what it is. But they they painted on the
23:07
concrete there, so something's going on.
23:19
Yeah, that's wild. 836 milesi already.
23:19
Considerably less than 2 years
23:22
driving this thing around.
23:25
Gotten some good use out of it. I didn't
23:27
see a gator today.
23:33
Didn't see a gator today in any of the
23:33
lakes. Granted, I didn't look at each
23:36
and every one of the lakes in
23:37
Celebration. There's a lot, but I looked
23:39
in a couple.
23:41
Maybe the gators are going get their
23:43
little pumpkin spice fix on.
23:51
They saw that sign. They knew what
23:51
nobody was going to feed them.
23:53
They got to fend for themselves and go
23:55
get in line.
23:56
get their own pumpkin spice goodness.
24:04
Yeah, the caffeine has definitely kicked
24:04
in. All right, that's going to do it for
24:06
today. Short and sweet. Got my pumpkin
24:09
spice on. Got my piping hot caffeinated
24:12
beverage. First day of the season for
24:21
the menu that just dropped.
24:21
I'm going to prepare. I'm going to pack
24:22
and get ready for tomorrow. relax a
24:25
little bit throughout the course of the
24:26
day and
24:28
I'll see you in the next video.
24:31
The vlog
24:33
leaving town again. I can't stay put. I
24:36
cannot sit still.
24:41
It's fun though. I like traveling. I
24:42
like doing things. I like staying busy.
24:44
I like going out every day and doing
24:45
something. Then you have these days that
24:47
are just kind of more little little more
24:48
chill at home. Super easy. just drive
24:52
into town, get some Starbucks, walk
24:54
around the lake,
24:56
not being on a plane, not being in a
24:59
car, not being in an Uber, not being in
25:02
a hotel, sleeping in my own bed. Those
25:03
are nice.
25:12
Thanks for watching. The vlog
25:12
is over.
25:15
Fall is here. Spooky time is here.
25:18
Halloween season's here.
25:20
And it's not even September yet.
