welcome everyone Adam
1:11
the woo here
1:14
30 what 30 what am I saying I wish I was
1:16
30. 49 years old one year away
1:21
from that faithful iconic
1:25
number of 50.
1:27
still got 12 months to go until that
1:30
this is a little tie-in when it comes to
1:32
the Disney parks in my life obviously
1:34
but also my birthday on August 9th which
1:38
would have been yesterday
1:39
but back in 2011 was the last day I ever
1:44
utilize a time card and worked for
1:47
someone outside of being in a band story
1:50
with a touring band a little bit in
1:51
between there for about a year and a
1:54
half two years
1:55
other than that as far as working a nine
1:58
to five-esque type job punching a clock
2:02
that was the last time I did that and
2:04
immediately after that is when I started
2:07
traveling
2:08
sleeping in my van living in Walmart
2:12
parking lots basically as I traveled
2:15
across the country
2:16
kind of jump starting the YouTube
2:19
channel
2:20
and before I started doing the traveling
2:23
after I quit my job on my birthday
2:25
August 10th I went
2:28
to Magic Kingdom
2:30
and I think I also parked top to Epcot
2:32
today I'm not going to be Park hopping
2:33
to Epcot
2:34
but I also have a little bit of a
2:35
tradition it's not yearly but pretty
2:37
often on my birthday if I'm in the Parks
2:39
I will go on Dumbo so today I'm going to
2:41
go on Dumbo I'm going to get a Dole Whip
2:43
and if the line's not too long for Big
2:45
Thunder Mountain I'm going to do that
2:46
and then I'm gonna head out I'm gonna
2:48
head to the gym I have been going pretty
2:50
strong for a concise amount of day
2:53
pretty good consistent amount of days in
2:54
a row if you would like to follow along
2:56
with my Instagram it's out of the woo
2:59
atw on Instagram where I post weight
3:02
loss and workouts I've been dropping
3:05
some pounds I'm feeling pretty good and
3:07
I'm not gonna stop I have a 50-day
3:09
challenge going that's going to be
3:10
ending in about 20 days 18 days 17 days
3:14
give or take a day after that I'm not
3:15
going to stop I'm just going to keep it
3:16
going I'm seeing some progress
3:17
nonetheless I've talked too much let's
3:20
get this day started I'm inviting you to
3:22
join me go get some coffee first
3:24
shall you and I kind of mentioned that
3:26
date
3:27
about me quitting my job because I was
3:29
supposed to be at work on August 10th
3:32
that would have been my regularly
3:33
scheduled day because I worked Monday
3:35
through Thursday 10 hour shifts which is
3:38
kind of nice four tens
3:44
but I came to I put my two week notice
3:44
in
3:49
and that was it I was here so looking at
3:49
it here so if I go back to 2011 on my
3:52
birthday would have been a Wednesday
3:54
that would have been it would have been
3:55
at the feed store throwing hay throwing
3:57
horse feed helping customers with the
3:59
questions about
4:01
you know
4:04
horse tack things like that just
4:07
I never would have thought I've ever
4:08
worked at a feed store but did that for
4:10
five years
4:11
and you know what I can walk over to MK
4:15
I think I might walk back though I'm
4:17
going to take the monorail because it's
4:18
just one short little jaunt
4:20
from there after I get my coffee
4:22
and then I'm gonna like I said I'm gonna
4:24
head back home put my stuff away
4:26
Meander around celebration
4:29
hit the treadmill
4:31
and then go to my parents house a little
4:32
bit later do a little Saint Cloud stuff
4:35
and my mom's gonna make me homemade
4:37
tacos for my birthday spend some time
4:39
with Mom and Dad
4:46
this skinniest excavator ever been
4:46
confirmed that this is the skinniest
4:47
escalator in the world
4:50
but it might be well well Disney World
4:52
definitely is a Walt Disney World that's
4:54
what that's what I was referring to
5:01
all right it's Resort then time
5:01
with a little hazelnut creamer in there
5:04
no sugar just a little hazelnut there's
5:06
sugar in the hazelnut creamer but yeah
5:08
you give it a tank perfect timing
5:15
I don't want to stumble down there right
5:15
up there is the infamous
5:18
and famous that's more than Famous Five
5:21
leg goat
5:23
top of the mouth kicking them out top
5:25
one up there all right this shows how
5:27
often I take the monorail from the
5:30
Contemporary I'll take it from Magic
5:31
Kingdom to the Contemporary and over to
5:33
DC
5:34
Magic Kingdom is stopped four I think
5:36
I'm just gonna walk it because if I did
5:38
this I'd have to go to GTC the poly
5:41
Grand Floridian just makes more sense
5:43
time wise I could get over there a lot
5:45
quicker to just foot it
5:48
was going back down another
5:51
skinny escalator
5:53
decaffeinated on my birthday
5:55
the walkway
5:58
the Magic Kingdom
5:59
the monorail you see on that opposite
6:01
beam over there
6:03
the express monorail going for
6:05
transportation Ticket Center that one
6:06
does not stop in the Contemporary the
6:09
other B that's empty at the moment
6:11
coming out of Magic Kingdom that's the
6:13
one that has to do the complete loop
6:15
around that big fun Big Thunder Big
6:17
Thunder that's a good one I always call
6:19
it best remember Big Thunder
6:21
the mix is fun it's Big Thunder it's
6:23
already up to 40 minutes but as I said
6:26
the staple
6:27
on the old birthday where's it at
6:30
five minutes
6:38
kind of makes me happy a little bit so
6:38
for a five minute wait I could do that
6:39
that'll be the one ride I do also the
6:41
Haunted Mansion I believe is supposed to
6:42
reopen today but I was checking the app
6:44
and it's not reopened yet so no Mansion
6:47
today and if the wait time dissipates a
6:49
little bit after Dumbo maybe I'll try
6:51
some Big Thunder Mountain best removal
6:56
I really like a hot dog but I've been
6:58
watching what I eat even on the birthday
7:00
I don't think I'm gonna do a hot dog
7:02
today ah yes look at this about to walk
7:05
right down the middle of Main Street USA
7:08
walking in under the Trade Center and
7:10
I'm not going down the middle of Main
7:11
Street USA it is 89 degrees out right
7:14
now there's an excessive heat warning
7:15
it's going to get up to
7:17
95 probably gonna feel like 110 but the
7:20
humidity so I'm walking through the
7:23
Emporium trying to stay in the AC as
7:25
much as possible this is kind of the
7:27
vibe of anyone in Florida right now very
7:30
very
7:31
fiery and toasty speaking of mansion
7:34
here's a model kit mansion model kit of
7:37
the East Coast version right there
7:45
heading directly into story book circus
7:45
home
7:46
of not just one Dumbo but two Dumbo so
7:49
the West Coast version there's only one
7:51
but here there are two and you know it's
7:54
like I said it's not every year
7:55
obviously 2020 I don't think I went on
7:57
double one or two years but I think
7:59
since
8:00
2014-ish if I am in the park which I'm
8:03
usually in a park for at least a brief
8:05
time frame either in Anaheim or in
8:08
Orlando I will go on Dumbo and I have
8:11
knocked this one out of the park is good
8:13
just to kind of begin the day and
8:15
continue the tradition the entire time I
8:17
was on my elephant flight the other one
8:19
was loading so both of them were not
8:21
simultaneously in the air at this oh
8:23
here comes mine train going on it's
8:25
gonna be way too long for a birthday
8:26
ride on Mine Train it's very very very
8:28
very very warm out here coming around
8:33
I look at dubbo is kind of like a
8:35
fountain of youth well not exactly I
8:37
mean you don't drink any water and get
8:38
younger or anything but it's kind of a
8:40
useful ride it reminds me of my youth
8:43
a little tired as you're getting older
8:45
uh the Liberty Bell had to wait on the
8:48
little boat to go across the Tom
8:49
Sawyer's Island so it's just waiting
8:50
there patiently also big Thunder's up to
8:52
45s but we'll be doing that today and
8:54
Haunted Mansion is not open as of this
8:57
as is the second all right it is now
8:59
Dole Whip time next to the tiki room at
9:01
Aloha Isle Refreshments it's time for
9:03
birthday to a whip all right accomplish
9:05
my goal for the day I thought about
9:06
maybe getting the float with the
9:08
pineapple juice in it I just went with
9:10
the traditional 5.99 doe whip soft serve
9:14
right here I also got something at the
9:16
frontierland pen shop but I gotta eat
9:18
this before it melts because it is
9:20
almost 100 degrees out here gotta
9:21
consume this brick got the express
9:23
monorail over there waiting to take
9:25
guests not being how many guests are
9:26
leaving everyone's coming in because
9:28
it's only
9:29
25 I am taking the resort monorail one
9:32
stop over to the Contemporary
9:35
short and sweet visit to MK a couple
9:38
birthday Traditions
9:40
Dole Whip and demo I'm out of there
9:44
monorail Coral look at this monorail
9:47
Coral that's a rarity and this is the
9:50
pen I purchased at the frontierland pin
9:51
shop
9:52
I think I might even take a sharpie when
9:54
I get home and write the year on it that
9:57
way I know in future years if there's a
9:58
different pin you start making this a
10:01
little traditional collectible too
10:03
Mickey with a big birthday we'll be
10:05
eating any cake today the sweets I'm
10:06
having today was that dough whip
10:09
and also they will give you a free
10:10
birthday button that you could wear
10:12
around the park but I opted out of that
10:14
all right monorail Coral has been stuck
10:17
here for like 10 minutes
10:19
another monorail Express monorails
10:22
pulled up the doors over here have
10:24
opened and closed a few times
10:27
if we're gonna get any fact from this
10:29
thing
10:40
magic Amber see a train going up but you
10:40
can see it through the windows of the
10:41
express monorail
10:46
yep look at this so these doors just
10:46
sworn open you look up these are about
10:47
to open washing
10:49
should have gone with my first instinct
10:50
and just walk back over contemporary
10:52
look at this
10:54
hello everyone at this time we are going
10:56
to have to ask you to disembarked
10:58
monorail here this embarking Coral all
11:01
right I guess I'm gonna walk in always
11:02
go with your first instincts always go
11:04
with your first time
11:20
they always say that your first instinct
11:20
on what to do the way you should do she
11:22
just walked it but I thought it'd be fun
11:23
to take I think the resorts monitor up
11:27
check out this fan this feels good right
11:30
here all right so they're gonna they're
11:32
gonna take this train off the tracks so
11:34
this conductor said just hang out here
11:37
for a minute there's another one pulling
11:39
up right here looks like monorail orange
11:40
I'm gonna wait
11:42
I got my heart set on a monorail ride
11:45
a b-day
11:48
playing a drinking game saying how many
11:50
times I said birthday today's my
11:53
birthday probably wouldn't end well for
11:55
you probably would not be sober by
11:56
halfway through this video now as an
11:58
annual passholder you start to get used
12:00
to the routine of everything you always
12:02
load Resort and rail from that other
12:04
side and they made us exit and we're
12:06
gonna wait this will be the first time
12:07
ever that I've loaded the wdw resort
12:10
monorail from this side of the platform
12:13
it's a birthday miracle
12:21
if it ever moves again should have gone
12:21
with my second thought it just continued
12:23
walking you know what
12:25
all part of the experience
12:27
I I will say this too the monorail my
12:30
favorite Transportation device to look
12:33
at not my favorite community
13:10
day two once again we do apologize and
13:10
thank you all so much
13:15
all right now that I see the express
13:15
monorail just sitting here I do not
13:18
think that the monorails on any fashion
13:21
are working so I'm just going to walk it
13:23
I'm gonna walk walk back over temporary
13:25
see you later Bay Lake Tower and
13:29
it was fun
13:46
look closely over there reverse version
13:46
of the Mickey power pole you know you
13:48
would think
13:50
that I wouldn't want to go to the gym on
13:52
my birthday
13:53
burn some calories and
13:55
you know spend an hour hour and a half
13:58
or more inside the facility
14:01
at the gym
14:02
I'm kind of looking forward to it and we
14:05
got a pretty good habit going on
14:07
gonna change my clothes get out of these
14:10
put on my
14:12
gym shorts another t-shirt
14:15
sweat off six seven eight hundred
14:17
calories and you usually do about an
14:19
hour on the treadmill each day and do
14:21
some light weights
14:26
it's also very interesting because I
14:26
before I started doing the gym protocol
14:29
I would only watch about one movie that
14:32
I hadn't seen a month obviously if I was
14:34
researching a filming location or
14:35
something like that that I had already
14:37
seen and
14:38
doing research and things like that I
14:40
would watch stuff but anything new I
14:42
would watch maybe at best one movie a
14:45
month and now I do an hour a day on the
14:48
treadmill give or take so I can watch a
14:50
movie every two days if it's a two-hour
14:52
movie it's an hour and a half movie
14:53
Sometimes I knock it out in one day so
14:55
now I'm watching like 15 movies a month
14:58
I just got to keep to my stick to my
15:00
plan so I'm getting caught up on a lot
15:01
of TV shows
15:02
streaming on my phone and and movies I
15:05
like it which is why I like the
15:06
treadmill because I can put my phone
15:08
directly in front of my face and I'm
15:10
stuck there for the entire time if I
15:12
went out running or jogging or walking I
15:14
wouldn't be able to watch anything I
15:15
could listen to podcasts or listen to
15:17
music I could do that but I like having
15:19
having that double
15:24
double accomplishment burning calories
15:24
and getting caught up on some
15:26
entertainment because usually I've done
15:28
filming and editing at the end of the
15:29
night last thing I want to do is sit
15:31
down watch TV so it's good to have
15:33
favorite codes
15:35
all right I'll see you
15:38
after the workout
15:39
couple hours a little time has passed
15:41
look at this big turtle right here look
15:44
at this picture don't go under the water
15:45
I want to show you Turtle you are
15:47
beautiful look at this right here
15:54
I love turtle is he gonna climb up on
15:54
that log
15:56
from this turtle
15:58
I've seen quite a few turtles in here
16:00
but I don't think I've ever seen this
16:01
one
16:02
this is a new resident here
16:05
and celebration now some time has passed
16:07
ended up going to the gym for about an
16:08
hour did about an hour on the treadmill
16:10
about 54 55 minutes it was day 32 in a
16:14
row that I have not missed a treadmill
16:15
or a bike in the gym experience and I'm
16:19
just kind of going for the 50 after the
16:20
50s over not stopping there I'm just
16:22
gonna keep it going
16:24
got that AC on it is Toasty out here
16:29
get down Market Square
16:31
down Market Street
16:46
I've been looking forward to this for a
16:46
few days
17:02
that's exactly how old I am right now
17:02
12.
17:10
67 8 9 10 11 12.
17:10
that's like half my age
17:12
somewhere and get pictures about
17:14
everyone kind of reminds me of like the
17:16
old The Old Mill Style
17:18
I think those were like at a Walmart or
17:20
something
17:21
pennies
17:28
he was born oh that's right and then it
17:28
says Christos is three and a half months
17:30

17:39
mobile home place was she was only two
17:41

17:46
bathroom sink yeah that's in that boat
17:48
what was her iPhone's at
17:50
the whole outfit had to build on the
17:52
front of the back
17:54
this is the same exact style of glasses
17:55
I've been wearing recently
17:57
the aviators
18:04
might be the same pair so it's a
18:04
birthday party we were playing some kind
18:06
of a game with clothes pins
18:08
where I had to drop the clothespin into
18:10
that jar Mason jar there
18:21
I don't even know how old I was there
18:21
what birthday party that would have been
18:26

18:26
party but I'm not in the photo
18:29

I had less candles on the cake today
20:26

20:28
that going backwards
20:30

20:31

21:23
day
21:42
it's been a really good day
21:42
went to my parents for quite a while
21:45

21:48

21:50

21:56
I'm almost so sweet baking a cake wasn't
21:56
expecting that
22:01

22:04
so glad she did that for me
22:40
yeah just a relaxing day I want to say
22:40
uneventful but
22:42
pretty uneventful but the events that
22:44
did that transpire were really nice
22:48
didn't do anything too extravagant
22:50

22:53
out and went immediately over to Magic
22:55
Kingdom did the Dumbo thing
22:57
and went to the gym relaxed
23:00

23:04
headed out of my parents house and spent
23:06
