i will be heading over to epcot center
0:17
where i have booked a reservation
0:20
for a late evening
0:23
extravaganza
0:24
well i don't know if it will be or not
0:26
but i'm heading into the park
0:28
felt like going to the park in the
0:29
evening time and another rain just hit
0:31
just underneath my eye there
0:33
you can see it is a little inclemented
0:36
type of weather out here
0:38
in the late afternoon
0:41
here on this day it's 5 57 p.m at the
0:43
moment i like going to the parks in the
0:45
rain
0:47
so that's what i'm going to do
0:49
i believe epcot closes at 9 00 pm oh
0:51
look at this
0:53
the cornerstone market is under some
0:54
construction the whole building
0:57
is under construction they have their
0:58
tables over here maybe a new paint job
1:00
interesting
1:02
nonetheless i'm inviting you
1:07
to join me
1:07
oh i got my magic bed in my pocket hold
1:09
on i've got to put my magic fan on
1:11
taking this to the park with me and
1:13
i have my
1:14
extra batteries for my canon g7x and
1:16
also some disney pins that i'm going to
1:18
trade that i have doubles
1:20
duplicates of and ones i don't want join
1:22
me
1:24
chalia and i wouldn't mind a bite to eat
1:27
at some point tonight
1:29
hello there bird
1:38
you're grunting bird you're gonna fly
1:38
towards me
1:39
maybe i shouldn't get any closer
1:43
yeah i haven't eaten yet today i've been
1:43
doing this intermittent fasting thing i
1:46
usually do not eat until
1:48
late evening one time hit the gym during
1:50
the day my workouts i've been posting
1:53
over on my instagram page adamthewoohtw
1:56
on instagram you know if you care to
1:58
check that out i'm not going to bog down
2:00
the videos
2:02
with us
2:03
but yeah today
2:05
i was kind of tired today after i after
2:06
to hit the gym kind of hard came back
2:09
did some stuff around the
2:11
the home
2:12
and then i took a
2:14
took a little cat nap for a little bit
2:16
got up and said i gotta get motivated to
2:17
go out and do something to film an
2:18
episode
2:20
so that's what i'm gonna do bird
2:23
i believe probably because i haven't
2:24
been eating as much might be and i
2:26
haven't been drinking a lot of coffee
2:27
i've only been only today i only have
2:28
like a little half a cup of any ounce
2:30
coffee try to cut down on the
2:32
on the caffeine a little bit
2:34
that's probably why i'm a little more
2:35
tired than normal
2:37
man i'm feeling good
2:39
feeling real good
2:41
best i felt in a while since i've been
2:42
going to the gym the last eight days
2:45
i four westbound very backed up at this
2:48
hour
2:49
6 13 right now
2:56
yeah other direction not so bad but
2:56
westbound
2:58
not too good
3:00
up i think i see uh
3:02
see some lights going by getting officer
3:04
going by
3:05
over there
3:06
must be a
3:08
hold up or a wreck or something
3:11
yeah take a look at this mess
3:18
i thought about going to the race game
3:18
tonight i was i would have to left a lot
3:20
earlier
3:21
kind of decide like i'm glad i did
3:23
because look at that traffic going
3:24
westward
3:26
i'm going straight though
3:28
i'll be at the park in like five minutes
3:30
look at all that traffic exiting www
3:33
right over here all this traffic
3:35
is coming out of the disney parks
3:37
and a lot of the vehicles a lot of
3:39
people are trying to avoid i-4 and get
3:41
around
3:42
the back up by going on to 192
3:47
up here however
3:49
i think that's going to be probably not
3:51
the best option either because it's just
3:52
as backed up as the the i4 is
3:55
holy cow
3:57
rush hour added that maybe a little
3:59
fender bender that didn't help
4:03
this lane going to the bars going to
4:05
epcot
4:07
smooth sailing thankfully and the backup
4:10
is so lengthy it stretches all the way
4:12
back underneath the entrance side
4:16
look at this over there well look over
4:18
there
4:19
yeah
4:23
that's a little bit of a backup now
4:23
since the park closes at nine and it's
4:25
currently 6 19 p.m
4:28
three hours before the the cast members
4:31
end up
4:32
leaving the little station here so
4:33
should be able to just drive right in
4:35
even if they were have an annual pass
4:36
and it wouldn't make
4:37
wouldn't make any difference but yep
4:40
all closed up just drive on through
4:43
proceed to your
4:45
destination
4:46
that's what that sign said
4:53
and i parked just below
4:54
the monorail beam up rain is hitting my
4:56
camera i'm gonna grab my umbrella on my
4:58
car too
5:07
i should probably grab my umbrella
5:07
that is a
5:08
little bead of rain on my camera
5:10
it's almost like a hidden mickey sky
5:12
looked pretty dang cool right about now
5:18
sunset mixed in also with the storm
5:21
clouds
5:22
that are kind of subsiding now as far as
5:24
attraction is being closed due to the
5:27
in future world wealth former future
5:29
world or really everything is a walk-on
5:32
five 10 minutes 15 minutes tops let's
5:34
say probably even 15 minutes
5:36
might be an exaggeration
5:39
oh if this was unplanned i kind of
5:41
walked over here
5:42
okay that's kind of funny the monorail
5:44
stopped on the track
5:46
kind of messing with me
5:48
i had to hit stop i thought did i just
5:50
see a mirage was there really a monorail
5:53
going by it was stuck on the track over
5:57
for probably a good 45 seconds i thought
6:01
am i just envisioning monorails when
6:03
there really aren't monorails but rest
6:05
assured i'm not losing my mind
6:06
completely yet there is a monorail right
6:10
also i had heard that
6:12
pigment also it's a little too late in
6:14
the day for the dvc lounge to be open up
6:16
there the top of the journey to
6:18
imagination but i heard that figment was
6:20
down for the last day or two they were
6:22
having some sort of issue
6:23
but it looks like it's back open 15
6:25
minute wait
6:26
something very peaceful about raindrops
6:28
just falling on a standing body of water
6:31
isn't it
6:32
especially when you're an epcot i mean
6:34
it doesn't get
6:35
doesn't get much better than epcot
6:36
center yo this kind of looks like a
6:38
hidden mickey i mean it's not but
6:40
i bet if you look at it from an aerial
6:41
perspective that might be a hidden
6:42
mickey took like not topiary but made
6:44
out of foliage
6:46
there and those jets have to be very
6:48
powerful to push that water and upward
6:51
waterfall over there underneath the
6:53
pyramid upward waterfall gotta have some
6:55
powerful jets to do that and when the
6:57
weather is like this when it's storming
6:59
and lightning the disney skyliner is not
7:01
currently operating so the skyliner is
7:03
not if you want to go over to studios
7:04
you can't you got to take the bus i do
7:06
see a friendship boat going over the
7:07
resorts over there but yeah check out
7:09
look the skyliner is just kind of just
7:10
sitting there just kind of dangling up
7:12
there without moving at all so no
7:14
skyliner right now yeah i really have no
7:16
major game plan this evening other than
7:18
just walking around epcot
7:21
in the rain that's kind of it and i
7:23
have no idea what i'm gonna get
7:25
food-wise everybody else has ponchos i
7:27
got my umbrella
7:49
i'm very partial to the jammers these
7:51
guys are pretty awesome too
7:54
they're both they're
7:56
both the groups are drummers
7:58
and the jammingers and this group i
8:00
gotta find the name of this group
8:02
they both
8:03
have three members
8:06
i'm detecting a theme here at epcot when
8:08
it comes to drumming groups
8:12
performing here in the rain and people
8:12
are standing in the rain watching them
8:14
they're super entertaining
8:16
i'm not seeing the name they're kind of
8:18
i think they might just be for food and
8:19
wine
8:28
i love that the cast members over here
8:30
getting into it they're
8:32
not a lot of people at the food is
8:33
because
8:34
it's raining
8:45
hard to clap because i have an umbrella
8:45
one end of my camera the other
8:51
oh silent clap
8:51
oh rocking out
8:55
hey
9:01
oh
9:01
we love you
9:03
we love you ludwig
9:14
nice
9:14
oh yeah here we go
9:25
the train rolling out the choo choo
9:41
on the west surface of wood
9:42
yup just continuing my stroll down a
9:44
very wet and rainy world showcase very
9:47
wet raining in fact i kind of went
9:49
around it pretty quick i did a very
9:50
brisk walk around all of this and now
9:53
i'm crossing over
9:55
this bridge and i'm going to carry on
9:57
continue
9:58
you know i'm going to be completely
10:00
honest i have no never noticed this
10:02
unusual i don't know how how many years
10:04
i've been walking around epcot center
10:05
but i've never noticed this coral-esque
10:07
looking
10:08
piece of rock
10:10
it is a boulder of some sort but it
10:12
looks like a piece of coral how have i
10:14
never noticed this over here also these
10:17
are put up not only for decoration but
10:19
to keep people from sitting up on the
10:21
ledge because that would be very
10:22
uncomfortable you put your high knee
10:25
right up on there that's why they put
10:26
this along the along the ledge here to
10:28
keep them from doing that and i popped
10:29
into norway i ended up getting a boss
10:31
water i had one last week when i was
10:32
doing the water around the world kind of
10:35
video but yeah i really like the voss
10:36
water better than better than just honey
10:38
now i might be dating myself but i
10:39
remember when there was a big viking
10:40
ship right here i first became an annual
10:42
pass holder back in 2001
10:45
and that first couple years i came here
10:46
a lot all right i just decided as i walk
10:48
by the mexico pavilion that i am going
10:50
to go on three cavaliers it's been a
10:52
long time since i've been on that boat
10:54
ride
10:55
i always like this area even though it's
10:56
starting to get dusk outside or close to
10:59
it it's always nighttime in here and the
11:02
theming is on point all these little
11:04
areas you really never pay attention to
11:06
like this little up here this little
11:07
alcove area and the porch the little the
11:10
lanai the veranda whatever you'd like to
11:12
call it's like all of the theming
11:14
through here now the correct name is
11:16
grand fiesta tour this is the first time
11:18
i've been on this since they removed the
11:19
little fun house
11:20
walkway through here they had it like
11:22
you know during 2020 2021 and you'd walk
11:25
through here and you had these little
11:27
area it was it almost looked like
11:28
something out of like a a fair like a
11:30
fun house
11:31
they have gotten rid of that funny the
11:33
first time on here
11:34
they've gotten rid of those so yeah it
11:36
must have been a while
11:37
they probably probably took those down
11:39
months ago and i will be getting row one
11:42
on vote number three two row one first
11:44
row trusty old number 32.
11:49
yeah i kind of have those like a family
11:51
all the way in the back rows there's
11:52
like one person in the front which is me
11:53
and then like five rows back
11:55
there's another group so kind of have a
11:57
whole boat to ourselves which is really
11:58
nice i love this restaurant it's been a
12:00
long time i've eaten at this restaurant
12:01
i want to eat there again not tonight
12:03
i'm not gonna eat here tonight but i
12:04
would like to eat there again sometime i
12:06
remember when i was young my family and
12:08
i would come here on vacation or you
12:10
know i just always think one day i want
12:11
to be able to eat at that restaurant and
12:13
it took me up until my adult life to be
12:15
able to eat there
12:17
and when i finally ate there just kind
12:18
of felt good it was almost like a bucket
12:20
list a lot of people don't like it but i
12:22
like it
12:23
i really like that restaurant for for
12:25
whatever reason it's probably more of a
12:26
nostalgic thing also some say there's a
12:28
hidden mickey up in the
12:30
volcano up there and
12:32
a large old maquette here this is not so
12:34
good however and upon exiting i'm
12:37
noticing over here the parrot that's
12:38
usually in this cage has escaped the
12:41
bird is gone usually there's a there's a
12:44
bird right inside that cage gone i guess
12:46
you could say flew the coop i've also
12:48
never noticed the pinatas that are right
12:51
up here look there's like a grouping of
12:52
pinatas up there i've never noticed that
12:54
before either on the exit out and upon
12:56
exiting the pavilion the sunset the sky
12:58
looks amazing over there doesn't it now
13:01
the sky itself is amazing and incredible
13:03
is enough but i got the monorail going
13:05
by and look at look look at this sunset
13:07
over there oh there is a family of birds
13:09
flying over there in the v-shape oh
13:12
there's a family of match right there in
13:14
a non-tur it's non-v shape more of a
13:16
tornado style yeah we got the birds
13:18
flying by in a v shape and now the gnats
13:21
also i think test track might be down
13:23
because of the weather but i heard it
13:25
testing no pun intended but i heard that
13:27
they were i heard the vehicles going so
13:29
maybe i could jump in the single rider
13:30
line if test track
13:32
reopens all right no go on test track
13:35
but look at the sunset above spaceship
13:37
er yes all right it's 806 pm park closed
13:40
at nine sunshine seasons is already
13:42
closed they must close at like seven or
13:44
eight or something but yeah they're
13:45
closed so no tasty small possibles in my
13:48
future this evening living with the land
13:49
however five minute wait and still 50
13:51
minutes where the park closes not much
13:53
of a weight at all maybe like 12 15
13:55
people in front of me not many at all
13:57
this is almost how the weather was a
13:58
little earlier to
14:00
recreation the
14:01
the weather was earlier here in central
14:03
florida
15:17
this is a really good time frame to go
15:17
through the dough the biodome that
15:19
always reminds me of the poly short film
15:21
biodumb through here
15:23
and i heard a rumor they might be
15:24
bringing back the behind the seeds tour
15:26
very soon it's just a rumor but it'd be
15:28
pretty awesome if they did it's the tour
15:30
that you can actually walk around with a
15:31
cast member
15:33
inside there you know inside the dome
15:35
there's the miracle fruit
15:37
right here i've never done the behind
15:39
the scenes tour but if they bring it
15:40
back
15:42
i want to do it and i also think you can
15:43
even take pictures and film on it
15:46
that'd be pretty dang cool
15:49
not you know it's a play on words behind
15:51
the seeds instead of behind the scenes
16:00
it's always going to be willy wonka
16:00
vibes too the rovers keep on rowing
16:03
and they show no signs of slowing
16:07
where the catfish are over there used to
16:09
be alligators for years and years and
16:11
years in here
16:12
no longer alligators over there also
16:15
kid mickey and a hidden mini right over
16:21
there's no longer any alligators on the
16:21
land pavilion in the land pavilion
16:24
if there are they're hiding now back in
16:26
the day there used to be a cast member
16:28
would be up in the front seat with a
16:29
microphone instead of the narration
16:31
that's on here now that's automatic the
16:33
cast member would give the narration and
16:36
to this day you're not allowed to lean
16:37
over and touch the sand even then the
16:38
cast member with the microphobia get
16:40
your hand back in the boat
16:41
all those over there are snake gourds
16:44
oh look
16:45
5-0
16:47
that's the first 50th i've seen i've
16:48
seen hidden mickeys and i've seen epcot
16:50
spelled out another 50th
16:53
and it looks as if the little
16:55
production facility where the research
16:57
facility is back open last time i was on
16:59
this a month or two a couple months ago
17:01
it was down for construction it was all
17:02
closed off you couldn't see in there but
17:04
there's i always want to be the person
17:06
in there doing a little research and
17:08
i think everyone on this always thinks i
17:10
want to be in there doing some research
17:12
i do i want to go in that room it's like
17:13
i always wanted to go in there my whole
17:15
life going on this
17:16
who is that in there doing research
17:19
i want to know
17:20
yeah this stand has been sitting here
17:22
empty for like way over a year probably
17:25
more than a year but when this when this
17:27
you know next tour departs there's no
17:29
time frame up there but when it finally
17:30
does i like to do it one of these days
17:32
and seeing all those veggies in there
17:34
kind of makes my app maybe a little bit
17:36
more of an appetizer still got about a
17:37
half hour till the park closes it's now
17:39
currently 8 30. park closes in a half
17:41
hour exactly so like find a bite i think
17:44
i'm gonna make my way a roundabout way
17:45
because you know the construction
17:46
everything that's going on but over to
17:48
can over to the connections cafe that
17:50
opened kind of recently i've never
17:51
really looked at their menu options they
17:53
probably have something that's
17:54
semi-healthy over there
17:56
so i'm gonna take this around and go by
17:58
connections cafe
18:00
that's my plan anyway
18:02
man this looks so cool do you need to
18:03
imagination five minute wait kind of
18:05
want to get over and get it yeah i think
18:07
i want to get a little snack though
18:09
so not going to say hi to figma tonight
18:11
even though i know figment probably
18:12
really really misses me kind of see the
18:14
reflection down there well kind of sort
18:17
i thought you could see the reflection
18:19
and i wonder if after the 15th
18:20
anniversary is over which i think goes
18:22
into next year
18:23
it's an 18 month anniversary if they
18:25
remove the lights underneath the bottom
18:26
of the monorail those will be gone
18:29
i gotta go to gotta go to connection
18:30
dang that looks so freaking cool also
18:33
will they keep illuminating spaceship
18:35
earth with all the you know the the
18:37
bulbs and stuff they put on there after
18:38
the 50th is over
18:40
gotta wonder and all that you know soon
18:41
at some point probably was gonna be
18:43
ready for the epcot's 40th on october
18:44
1st this whole construction area
18:46
probably was going to be ready but you
18:48
know the events of 2020-21 kind of set
18:51
that behind all right i think i made the
18:52
right decision stopping off inside the
18:54
connections cafe they had quite the menu
18:57
and i ended up getting quite a few
18:59
things for under 19.18.97
19:04
i got the i got a i can't pronounce it
19:04
nico ise style salad which is crispy
19:08
mixed drink mixed greens wedge potatoes
19:12
tomatoes green beans olives white beans
19:14
and a dijon vinaigrette it was 10.29
19:19
so i got that but then i also got
19:21
another option which was a grilled with
19:24
grilled chicken bottle not fried chicken
19:26
but a little small grilled chicken bowl
19:29
that came with two sides so i opted for
19:31
my sides i got coleslaw and a cuties man
19:35
cuties is the brand mandarin orange and
19:38
it also came with a small dasani water
19:40
so all in all total it was 18.97
19:45
i think i got kind of all the
19:47
you know a little bit of all the
19:48
nutrients i need here i stopped in the
19:50
pen store on the way out the camera
19:52
store but they also do i think they put
19:53
the pin trading board away after after
19:56
the park closes too there's no more
19:57
penetrate but i got a couple i'll show
19:58
on the way out i like this chest higher
20:00
cat one right there's a couple different
20:01
a couple different chess hires right
20:03
here is a the mad hatter over here as
20:06
well there's some stitch ones they also
20:08
just recently put out all the halloween
20:10
pens it's quite an assortment of the
20:11
halloween pens i don't think i'm going
20:13
to buy any of those but they are pretty
20:15
cool they also have some mystery pen
20:17
sets there's even a what looks to be i
20:19
think this might be new the haunted
20:21
mansion mystery pen set ghost pore
20:24
strips of the haunted mansion very
20:27
pretty cool and on the way out got a
20:29
pretty good angle not exactly the not
20:31
exactly the perfect frame up of the
20:33
monorail going going by spaceship earth
20:35
but not bad
20:37
not too bad and
20:40
hollywood studios almost at mgm
20:42
hollywood studios and epcot are the two
20:43
parks where the trams are not running i
20:45
believe they started coming back to
20:46
animal kingdom but so far studios and
20:50
trams are not operating today
20:53
so if you need
20:58
i was gonna make some sort of joke about
20:58
you know
20:59
an actual tram being like a doctor but
21:01
it just didn't work a joke didn't work
21:04
and now that harmonious has just kind
21:06
well just ended a few minutes ago
21:08
floodgates have opened if everyone
21:10
exiting and i'm heading out as well
21:13
and i just want to stand here for a
21:14
moment and get this monorail
21:17
rolling in i wish i'd get as many
21:19
monorails as i can i don't know i think
21:20
i have a problem
21:22
i think it's a real problem
21:32
kind of a random day i didn't really
21:32
have a plan it wasn't in there that long
21:34
but it was fun and as far as what i
21:37
scored in pen traits for the night i got
21:39
this maleficent dragon
21:41
and monorail
21:43

21:44
home my
21:45

21:47
decent
21:49
