0:58
around
0:59
the line for parking for vehicles to get
1:02
into downtown disney is
1:04
rather lengthy took a while to yeah
1:07
weekends are really busy
1:09
you see how it stretches all the way
1:12
under the overpass
1:13
well under the monorail beam and then
1:15
the overpass pass that is
1:17
downtown disney goes over the road and
1:19
there is quite a congregation of
1:21
folks over there so we're gonna we're
1:23
gonna do the loop and walk in through
1:24
the harbor side we
1:25
got some sights to see anyway i say we
1:27
it goes on for
1:29
quite a ways but i said the word we
1:31
because spencer from best life and
1:32
beyond
1:33
is tagging along as well you want to
1:36
kind of put out your thoughts on the
1:38
the vibe that is in that is out and
1:40
about there is an optimistic
1:42
positive vibe that something is
1:44
happening
1:45
very soon and it's undeniable
1:48
it's absolutely undeniable so i'm ready
1:50
we're just going to walk around the
1:52
perimeter
1:53
and then maybe go check out the
1:54
esplanade i'm ready see what this yeah
1:56
this look at this
1:57
line of cars going all the way down
2:01
how far back that goes to the parking
2:02
structure easily
2:04
it might even go further so yeah people
2:07
want to be
2:08
on disneyland property
2:15
including me they're feeling the black
2:15
they're feeling it
2:17
you guys feel it there has been an
2:19
awakening
2:21
isn't that a star wars quote very much
2:23
so as they say
2:24
x marks the spot still looking at the
2:27
line of vehicles here
2:29
still continuing back almost to the
2:30
parking structure
2:32
and he got the flower here the birds of
2:34
paradise flower
2:36
which always reminds me of tiki room
2:38
isn't that what that flower is called
2:39
yeah bird of paradise bird of paradise
2:41
as i put my hat back on
2:43
uh you know what else today is i just
2:45
realized when you saw the x
2:47
it's talk like a pirate day yar x marks
2:49
it's today
2:50
it's today it's today yeah okay are you
2:53
ready for this
2:54
yeah what we're looking at is the
2:57
tram route well what was the tram route
3:00
during usual times
3:02
but there are trash cans this this news
3:05
broke about a week ago this is the first
3:07
time i'm
3:08
kind of documenting it myself there are
3:10
some trash cans and benches
3:12
all along the pathway which pretty much
3:15
leads me
3:16
and others to believe that trams will
3:19
not be
3:20
quite operational
3:25
once the park reopens and we'll just
3:25
walk from the structure
3:28
along the pathway or tramway for what
3:31
other reason would they have
3:33
trash receptacles out
3:36
except for pedestrian traffic walking by
3:39
and utilizing them
3:40
even have the little elevated platform
3:43
which they will be
3:44
utilizing and just got a little bit over
3:47
the hedges there
3:49
you can see more benches and trash cans
3:52
you just think it could just be a matter
3:54
of weeks maybe even days and you know i
3:57
have no
3:58
i just it's all hypothetical in my own
4:01
my own mind but we might be
4:03
taking a little breather right there
4:08
no announcements as of yet have been
4:08
have been stated this is all this is all
4:10
just
4:12
we're kind of just doing this to
4:13
ourselves yeah
4:15
that's true yeah okay
4:22
but i'm loving all the new developments
4:22
these did not exist even a week ago
4:25
these were not out here if i'm reading
4:28
that correctly that washboard says
4:30
reservations required
4:39
it's pretty exciting why would this be
4:39
out if
4:41
guests were not going to be walking by
4:43
it in the rather near future
4:45
the way i figure it once you park you
4:48
would walk
4:49
through the checkpoint instead of
4:51
getting on a tram
4:52
you would just traverse this by foot
5:06
which will be an entirely new experience
5:06
this will be something we've never done
5:07
before walking that pathway on foot
5:10
right over there is where they put up
5:12
some of the halloween decor the tram
5:15
usually will go by there there's the
5:17
tram going
5:25
no halloween decor yet
5:25
not yet feels like forever but
5:29
in reality it's been six months since
5:32
any guests
5:38
have parked in that or walk through it
5:38
there's another washboard there what do
5:41
you think those marks the markings are
5:44
they could be markings for either a tent
5:47
or some umbrellas but they they continue
5:49
i've seen multiple ones down the tram
5:51
route so
5:52
because it's more than six feet because
5:53
that's more like probably 12 feet maybe
5:55
it's two
5:56
pop-up tents worth of distance 20 feet
6:00
10 by tens
6:16
might get a better view over there
6:16
definitely going to be a lot of excited
6:18
folks
6:20
going going down this path there's two
6:22
entrances there's there's this one and
6:24
then there's the harbor boulevard
6:27
on the opposite side of the property
6:30
either one will lead you into the
6:31
esplanade this one through downtown
6:34
disney and harbor just pretty much
6:35
directly in
6:46
just about a month or two ago there were
6:46
a lot of leaves that were scattered
6:48
along here but now it's all
6:49
all the leaves have been cleared and
6:52
some new items have been placed
6:59
yeah there's that sign way down there it
6:59
says you must need a reservation it's
7:02
tough to read all the way from here
7:04
you can see it over there off to the
7:06
side
7:11
and those reservations are gonna be
7:11
quite it's gonna be
7:14
like winning the golden ticket
7:18
everyone's gonna want one that's a whole
7:21
other subject
7:23
also noticing a little yard maintenance
7:25
taking place here
7:39
this leads into the parking area mickey
7:39
and friends
7:40
and what's the pixar structure called
7:42
now pixar pals
7:44
pixar pals i think so pixar pals yeah
7:49
it's kind of tough to comprehend but
7:52
just past
7:54
just over that ledge you had a bird's
7:57
eye perspective you would see the
7:59
millennium falcon resting there
8:10
do you remember the days in galaxy's
8:10
edge
8:11
is that what you were thinking about
8:12
yeah you're just imagining like
8:15
the falcons just going to take off and
8:16
bail you know
8:19
remember all those times you thought
8:20
you'd never see the falcon again
8:23
well you hit be
8:26
you win me
8:29
sooner than you think my friend gosh i
8:31
hope so
8:32
as stated this is all these are all just
8:35
speculations
8:36
nothing is set in stone
8:41
just within the last three or four
8:44
months out of the last six months
8:46
this week has had the most amount of
8:49
things taking place and happening
8:51
so that's that's kind of where i stand
8:53
on the subject matter
8:54
it just feels like it feels like it's
8:56
going to happen
8:57
how fitting this banner is here
9:00
rise of the resistance
9:07
just outside where it really is just
9:07
past the hedges
9:09
under this palm tree
9:17
that beautiful adapt or atat what
9:17
generation are you are you the atat or
9:19
the ad generation
9:20
i'm straight up yes here's the deal and
9:23
i know you guys have probably heard the
9:24
argument before
9:25
there was no atst at that time right
9:28
so i get it with the atst but there was
9:32
only ats
9:32
and so that's what it was you can always
9:35
tell our age you could always tell the
9:37
age bracket of those calling in an
9:39
adapter
9:40
versus an ata tape a little tie-in to
9:42
star wars land
9:44
is the pope house which used to be back
9:48
at circle d ranch
9:51
which turned into galaxy's edge and they
9:53
moved it back over here
9:55
this was the only from what i from what
9:57
i've heard is the only structure the
9:59
only home
10:00
that was before disneyland that still
10:03
sat on disneyland property is that
10:05
that's kind of saying that correctly
10:06
that's the rumor that i've heard as well
10:08
the pope house named after the people
10:10
who owned it right their last name was
10:12
pope that was their last name
10:13
oldest structure on the property is what
10:16
i've heard yeah and they
10:17
they they've kept it here just kind of
10:19
tucked away over here
10:21
against the against the on-ramp to the
10:23
freeway
10:24
we're just noticing how the corporate
10:26
offices here has a double purposes
10:29
well not purposes but a double purpose
10:32
where it blocks the sound from
10:35
the freeway
10:40
and you're thinking that this little
10:40
down below is like almost like takes the
10:42
sound and pushes it up against the
10:43
building
10:44
yeah because i've seen that in
10:45
oceanfront homes they have these
10:47
barriers that start like this and then
10:48
they go up as you take it
10:50
up and out so it just takes a sound
10:52
right up
10:54
straight up and set it into the park
10:55
possibly
10:57
that makes sense because it's really
10:58
loud from this angle you know with just
11:00
a few feet on the other side of this
11:03
you don't even really hear the traffic
11:04
at all
11:06
look closely you can see a hidden mickey
11:08
up there
11:10
and then also the tomorrowland rocket
11:14
right there in that window and they have
11:16
a keen eye but there's a tomorrowland
11:18
rocket a scale model of it
11:20
in that office an update on mickey and
11:23
minnie's
11:24
runaway
11:27
open on the east coast at hollywood
11:29
studios
11:32
toontown is where west coast version is
11:35
appearing
11:37
went vertical gosh maybe less than a
11:41
month ago a few weeks
11:42
ago it's already seeing this much
11:43
progression
11:55
can also get a peek at the matterhorn
11:55
from here also
12:16
the icy slopes of the matterhorn
12:16
one thing spencer was noticing is the
12:18
height of the
12:19
what the building will be definitely
12:22
well
12:24
maybe it is the same height of the
12:26
chinese theater in florida
12:28
like yeah i guess that building is
12:30
pretty tall
12:36
this does appear to be a little taller
12:36
though
12:38
what do you think maybe offices
12:40
sometimes they would
12:41
incorporate offices above you know and
12:43
kind of do a purpose maybe
12:46
got small world over there not the back
12:50
side of water the backside of
12:52
small world
12:57
that's where the train tracks would be
12:57
also
13:03
you can really see in the galaxy's edge
13:04
just from the overpass view just driving
13:05
by or walking by
13:09
and also the temp from magical map
13:12
over there on the far end
13:22
nice always noticeable from in the park
13:22
but on the left there is the matterhorn
13:24
and on the
13:25
other end on the right is the tree horn
13:29
the matter tree a tree made out of
13:32
foliage to obscure
13:34
and block the matterhorn from
13:37
adventureland and frontierland both
13:41
in the same frame
13:56
looking at satellite view the blue dot
13:56
is where we're at
13:57
right here along harbor you can see the
14:02
yeah the track the train tracks are
14:04
right there monorail beams autopia
14:07
all within just a couple feet on the
14:10
other side of this
14:11
concrete barricade all this is just
14:14
public walking public view
14:16
but if you reach past your your hand
14:18
would hit that fence line
14:20
if that fence wasn't there you could
14:22
almost within arm's reach of the train
14:24
tracks
14:25
oh so close you can almost taste it
14:28
right there
14:30
and then up here the monorail beam is
14:32
real even more close proximity yeah
14:35
where it crosses right
14:36
next to the train when you're you know
14:38
you're lucky enough to
14:39
get that experience on the train when
14:40
the monorail comes by oh so good
14:43
i was just admiring that you're wearing
14:44
the appropriate facial covering
14:46
oh yes disneyland railroad
14:50
nailed it and you got the hat at the
14:52
mickey hat
14:54
there it is in all its glory
14:58
so the monorail goes that way
15:01
because it's always going southbound on
15:04
harbor
15:05
right so yeah this would be the going
15:07
back
15:09
trail then it passes through dca over
15:11
the hyperion bridge
15:12
right through grand cal yeah and then
15:15
does the loop back around disneyland
15:17
drive and ends back up at the station
15:18
over there near disneyland hotel
15:21
there goes no
15:24
monorail only for now
15:28
okay it will it'll be back the moderator
15:29
will be back gonna go in and
15:31
see what's happening in the esplanade
15:33
see what kind of developments are
15:34
taking place in there a nice little view
15:37
there with the sign
15:38
looming behind me your guess is as good
15:40
as mine as the wind is kind of open but
15:42
just by trying to put the
15:43
positive vibes out there into the
15:46
universe
15:47
taking a peruse now around the esplanade
15:50
first looking in towards disneyland
15:52
proper and you can see they have
15:55
quite a few signage up here as you're
15:56
going in each of the gates and then past
15:58
the gates
15:59
almost to the mickey topiary you can see
16:02
all the sanitizing a lot of new
16:03
sanitizing stations that are placed
16:06
there as well
16:07
but yeah it just it seems as if it's
16:10
at any moment when given the signal you
16:13
know just it's just ready for guests to
16:15
meander in and then turning and walking
16:17
over towards dca
16:19
taking the stroll the equip almost like
16:21
the the fastest park hop in comparison
16:23
to the
16:24
east coast you can walk across in just a
16:25
matter of moments 100 yards or so
16:28
you see the plexiglas has been placed up
16:31
here so you're looking in you got the
16:33
the plexi in in between each of the
16:35
guests so you're not
16:36
getting in too close proximity to the
16:39
party over
16:40
as well as the mats which these are kind
16:42
of circulating around
16:44
online at the fact that the mats are
16:46
here being ready to go down for the cast
16:48
members
16:49
which is nice makes it more comfortable
16:50
than standing
16:52
on the concrete
17:13
it'll definitely be nice when all of
17:13
these
17:14
areas are up and running again i love it
17:18
back through here this little
17:19
courtyard area upon exit there is a real
17:23
beehive of activity out here look at the
17:26
amount of people
17:27
that are about we're we're exiting but
17:29
they're all entering that's a lot it's a
17:31
good-sized crowd
17:32
for me going around to the harbor
17:34
entrance is
17:36
considerably better than waiting in this
17:38
of course there's not a lot of parking
17:39
on the other side we did the we did the
17:41
long walk but goodness this is
17:43
especially on a weekend evening this is
17:45
a lot of people
17:46
always try to park nearby the galaxy's
17:50
edge van
17:51
it's just always just hanging out here
17:53
in the in the parking lot
17:55
go to disneyland
18:03
yeah once you see this it's kind of hard
18:03
to i think we noticed that what a couple
18:06
weeks ago
18:06
yeah and we were like well we never saw
18:08
that before but now we can't like walk
18:10
not walk by it without showing it it's
18:12
like part of our experience
18:14
what'd you call it the the fastest hunk
18:16
of junk in the parking lot fastest hunk
18:17
of van in the galaxy
18:20
this is awesome
18:38
wonder how i wonder how quick this thing
18:38
did the kessel
18:44
i don't run but julie get us out of here
18:44

in my head i don't want to jinx it but i
20:32
would not be

20:41
i would not be completely shocked if

into
20:42
early next week a few days from now
20:46
some sort of formal announcement was
20:47
made now
20:49
stating this in a video not
20:52
the best decision because if i'm wrong
20:55
then i have to own up to it but i feel
20:58
like it's i feel like it's happening
21:00
i'm with you there's a vibe and what we
21:03
have seen
21:04
oh should probably drive by there
21:10
but i wanted to show where they did the
21:11
press conference all the city officials
21:20
one final footnote up on top of that
