0:19
accommodations you see the bed is a
0:23
little
0:23
disheveled for me slumbering
0:27
checked in here late last night the pull
0:30
out bad there's extra pillows because
0:33
i'm not utilizing the pull out bed
0:42
oh yeah the day begins
0:42
i'd say one of my favorite things about
0:44
staying on disney property
0:47
or the fan is on amazon in here
0:52
is you get cleaned up
0:56
you can utilize the h2o plus
1:01
resort shampoos conditioners
1:05
and body wash stepping outside the door
1:14
get a view of the pool a floppy disk
1:14
a computer over there
1:21
if you haven't guessed based on the
1:21
terminology
1:22
and roger rabbit over there the distance
1:25
and the keyboard i am
1:28
in the 80s 1980s section of pop century
1:34
this is a gargantuan walkman
1:38
welcome everyone adam the woo here just
1:41
waiting for that caffeine to start to
1:43
fester
1:44
inside myself and wake me up to the
1:47
fullest extent
1:48
until that happens i'm gonna wander
1:50
around the premises give a little tour
1:52
of this particular section now the
1:54
reason i am back staying here is i have
1:56
some friends
1:57
in from california that are staying at
1:58
other accommodations but in order to
2:01
link up
2:02
reservations for the theme parks it's
2:04
very difficult during
2:05
december it's a little bit popular this
2:08
time of year
2:09
so in order to get those reservations
2:11
along with them
2:13
i commandeered a resort stay at one of
2:16
the value resorts
2:17
and it kind of worked out it's going to
2:19
be a good time
2:20
heading to hollywood studios today i'm
2:21
inviting you
2:23
to join me but first going to wander
2:24
around shall you
2:27
in the past i've stayed in the 50s and
2:29
60s section
2:30
i requested the 80s
2:33
on this occasion where you could you
2:35
really have to do a little tap dancing
2:37
here
2:38
to type along gotta love
2:42
a little roger rap watch out for that
2:44
dip
2:45
roger turpentine i believe means dip
2:48
that is that would not end well
2:50
for you this guy's just a little bit
2:54
a little bit taller than i am the forced
2:56
perspective when i'm up front
2:58
it looks like we're about the same
2:59
height trust me
3:06
he is much bigger it's probably
3:06
40 feet yeah you can see one two three
3:08
so about 40 feet tall
3:10
rabbit standing over here next to the
3:12
pool oh yes
3:15
a rubik's cube i never could figure
3:18
those out
3:18
i was never good at solving a rubik's
3:21
cube
3:22
there was kind of a hack where you could
3:24
pull the stickers off
3:26
and just fool everyone into thinking you
3:28
had accomplished that's also where the
3:29
stairwell
3:31
is so you walk up into that cube there
3:34
are an assortment of different buildings
3:35
this is building
3:37
number eight you can see it has the
3:39
roller blades on it
3:40
and it kind of stretches into two
3:42
sections and there's also
3:44
this building here building number seven
3:47
as well and i think there's also
3:49
building nine
3:51
on the i think there's three buildings
3:52
seven eight and nine
3:55
boy i am way off this was the 90s
3:59
section hence the hence the computer
4:03
okay so the 80s it is early as stated
4:06
the piping hot
4:08
hot beverage has not quite kicked in
4:12
at the pool still currently closed
4:16
that's also why it's a little quiet
4:20
back in here they're doing a little pool
4:22
cleaning
4:23
at the moment this place becomes a real
4:26
bee hive of activity it's almost like
4:28
the party zone
4:30
as the during the hours of the pool is
4:33
quite
4:34
operational oh yeah there's a pac-man
4:37
little pac-man
4:38
ghost up there if laundry is needed to
4:41
be accomplished
4:42
there is a laundry room right here next
4:44
to the pool also
4:45
not the backside of water but the
4:48
backside of floppy disks there's a whole
4:50
stack
4:51
of them back here this building is
4:55
themed to be flop a stack of floppy
4:57
disks
4:58
each of the ghosts have different names
5:02
don't recall precisely the correlation
5:06
but they do have specific names
5:10
there is a pattern in the hedges here
5:13
from a bird's eye perspective it might
5:15
spell something out or maybe it's just a
5:17
decorative
5:19
landscaping another rubik's cube
5:23
over here
5:31
pretty neat there's a 50s a 60s a 70s
5:31
this is the 80s and 90s accommodations
5:36
if you so choose and
5:39
leading to the entry point of this
5:41
section
5:42
are mr and mrs potato head you see the
5:45
70s over there that eight track
5:49
see me there they are
5:52
just waving saying come on in
6:00
there's little pathways that go around
6:00
some of the cast members
6:02
getting the day going
6:06
these are these are not even lifestyles
6:07
these are bigger than life-size
6:09
these are probably 12 foot tall i should
6:10
probably stand next to
6:12
stand next to them and just get a
6:45
you too you too mr potato head
6:45
i will have a good day
6:56
i will as you go around the pathway
6:56
there are little facts and figures
6:58
from the decade oh there's a squirrel
7:01
there
7:02
is a squirrel right up there in the tree
7:04
oh hello squirrel
7:06
up now you're hiding up now you're down
7:08
there now you're into the bush
7:28
87 the koosh ball
7:28
was it was invented
7:32
i don't think i've ever heard of that
7:34
and in 88 the fax phones
7:36
used to cost 1 295 and a laptop
7:40
was over 5 grand
7:44
little bit less than that now
7:53
double cubes even though the 70s section
7:54
is over there they're still
7:55
along the walkway as some signage for
7:57
the 80s the last episode of mash
8:00
had the single largest audience in tv
8:03
show history 125 million
8:06
viewers you go this direction over to
8:09
the skyliner pop century which is where
8:11
i
8:12
am is adjacent to art of animation which
8:15
is
8:15
over there that's where the you can hop
8:18
on the skyliner
8:19
i will be taking the rental car picking
8:22
up my friends who are elsewhere
8:24
heading to the studios but in 81
8:28
sandra day o'connor made history and mtv
8:31
gained a huge following of viewers
8:34
is that when mtv started i guess so
8:38
decided heck it i'll show the 70s area
8:41
mr mr potato head
8:43
still over there they're still waving
8:51
the neighboring 70s area has the twister
8:51
right down there that would be a
8:53
riveting game
8:54
with other guests i don't know if that's
8:56
allowed during these times
8:59
of 2020. up here is oh yeah this is a
9:03
foosball table and a big wheel i always
9:06
love
9:08
walking around in here and just kind of
9:10
seeing the sights look at the size of
9:12
that
9:13
big wheel right there i love it and if
9:16
you didn't realize it was a big wheel
9:17
it's written twice on the side once on
9:19
the
9:20
on the little plastic well it's probably
9:23
not plastic made of concrete
9:24
it's supposed to look like plastic and
9:26
also says big wheel along the side of
9:28
the wall there and
9:30
a mickey mouse telephone
9:33
also yeah look at the guests standing at
9:35
the base
9:36
they're about one eighth to one tenth
9:41
of the mickey mouse telephone size
9:47
the general overview and layout of the
9:47
land is here on this guide map
9:49
the classic hall where you can get
9:50
breakfast and they have a store
9:52
is right there in the center point
9:55
and the 80s is kind of tucked away up
10:00
underneath the 90s you see there's that
10:03
walkman
10:04
there's roger right over in there
10:08
don't want to steer too far away from
10:09
the the 80s
10:12
topic if i was taking the skyliner would
10:16
start
10:16
where it says you are here and walk down
10:19
they call it memory lane that's pretty
10:22
neat
10:23
and get on the skyliner there and that
10:26
would take you
10:27
over to the skyliner hub connection
10:31
you can go either to epcot center or to
10:33
hollywood studios
10:34
i however have parked over in this
10:39
region with the remote car so i'll be
10:41
taking that into studios
10:43
and to mix things up just a little bit
10:45
when i get over to the theme park
10:47
and check out some roger rabbit and even
10:50
late 80s references
10:52
at the former mgm it's now called
10:55
but there are some little nuggets of
10:56
goodness around the property that kind
10:58
of pertain
11:00
to the 80s there's a big old cell phone
11:05
that's about the size they were back
11:09
then
11:09
this is technically the 90s but you know
11:12
the cube over there that's 80.
11:33
i've got in a little makeshift parade
11:34
others telling me to go around no
11:36
they're actually no he's letting that
11:37
guy through
11:42
oh what's going on
11:49
stepped into hollywood east if you will
11:49
hollywood studios looking at the
11:50
quahanga building
11:52
down hollywood boulevard right over that
11:55
direction
11:56
a little easter egg if you look over
11:58
here there is eisner's speech and it's
12:00
still one of the few things in the park
12:01
that still states mgm studios
12:04

12:05

12:06
