Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:02
the recording of this Sunday, April
0:04
20th, 2025, Easter Sunday. It's about
0:08
1:30 p.m. Starting off over here on
0:11
Harbor Boulevard across the street from
0:14
Disneyland. I have a reservation for the
0:16
parks today. So, I'm going to go scan
0:18
in, get a coffee beforehand. I'm going
0:20
to mobile order from Starbucks at
0:22
Downtown Disney. They do not let you
0:23
mobile order inside Disneyland. So,
0:28
going to grab a
0:29
coffee first at uh almost at Disney
0:32
Springs, Downtown Disney, then go into
0:34
Disneyland, peruse around a little bit,
0:36
might park hop over to DCA, and then
0:39
just see where the day leads. I have no
0:41
real game plan. Happy Easter. As I am
0:44
filming this, I'm inviting you to join
0:46
me. Shall you? Got some vendors out
0:49
front
0:51
here in front of the sign.
0:58
You sell this stuff online too or is it
0:58
just just here? What's sure? Give
0:59
yourself a little plug. Uh Anaheim pins.
1:02
Uh we sell Croc Charms, Disney ones,
1:04
non-D Disney ones, uh pins for hats,
1:06
backpacks, lanyards. Anaheim pins. Very
1:09
cool. Little bit of everything. A little
1:11
bit of everything. They got some
1:11
Universal stuff in there. Yeah, exactly.
1:16
I'm not wearing my Crocs today, but I
1:18
usually wear Crocs. I think I got a
1:20
couple Jibbits from you last time I was
1:22
in town, if I remember right. Almost a
1:24
year ago, I think. Was it a year ago?
1:26
Wow. So, it wasn't the last time I was
1:28
in town, but it was uh it's another
1:30
previsit. I like all the horror stuff
1:33
you got here, too.
1:35
Krueger,
1:37
Pennywise, Chucky, Ghost Face, and
1:40
that's good. Got an In-N-Out Burger. All
1:44
right, going to head in
1:45
now to Disneyland.
1:49
Yeah, I was just just talking to Javier
1:52
over there and he was saying that as
1:54
long as you're on this side of the the
1:57
sign and you have a permit, you can set
1:59
up as a street vendor, but you cannot be
2:01
on this side of the
2:03
sign. Got a couple new jibbits for my
2:07
Crocs when I usually wear Crocs when I
2:10
fly on planes or if I need a day where I
2:12
don't want to have tennis shoes on, just
2:13
kind of air the feet out, make it a
2:16
little more comfortable. So, I got
2:16
In-N-Out and I got Donald right there.
2:18
Look at these beautiful
2:19
flowers painting the roses
2:26
red. Little Disney reference. All right,
2:26
that was quick and easy. Walked up and
2:28
it was pretty much it was pretty much
2:31
ready. So, go ahead and cut through
2:33
World of Disney with my piping hot
2:35
caffeinated beverage and then cut over
2:37
into the parks. And goes the Montreal
2:41
right here at the entrance to Walt's
2:42
original Magic Kingdom. Ah, Disneyland.
2:45
Elevation 138 ft, population 650
2:49
million, that sign says. I don't know
2:51
how what the tally is on that. Heading
2:54
in. It's a little later in the day. It's
2:55
about 220 right now as I'm heading down.
2:58
Easy commute considering I'm staying
3:00
right on Harbor Boulevard right across
3:01
the street. And I have an annual pass.
3:03
There are reservations available. So, I
3:05
booked one late last night for today and
3:07
then I got up this morning and got just
3:10
kind of discombobulated on what time
3:11
was. cuz the jet lag has kind of gone
3:13
away, but it's still kind of iffy on my
3:15
body. Doesn't really know what time it
3:16
is. And I realized I should probably
3:18
head over there because you cannot
3:20
cancel a reservation here at Disneyland
3:22
day of like you can at Walt Disney
3:24
World. If you make a reservation and
3:26
don't use it, you are penalized. You
3:27
only get three strikes and then you
3:29
can't show up for like a month or
3:31
something. I've never had that happen,
3:33
but if Yeah, if you weren't able to come
3:35
here for a month being a passholder,
3:36
this this is how you would feel.
3:45
tapper dance out.
3:49
Thank you very much. Now, I suppose you
3:52
don't mind me wondering what these
3:53
strange and funny looking musical
3:55
instruments are that we've been playing.
3:57
Yeah, I've been wondering what these
4:02
What are you doing? Nothing seems
4:04
killing time, though.
4:06
I'm not killing time. I'd rather explain
4:08
to these very good looking people. Hello
4:10
guy.
4:12
Hello. I'm so sorry. Would you please
4:14
get back in line and join us again? I
4:17
suppose you might be wondering what
4:18
these strange and funny instruments are
4:20
that we've been playing. Yeah, I've been
4:22
wondering what these strange and funny
4:23
looking musical instruments are that
4:24
we've been playing.
4:26
Now, what are you doing? You said trying
4:28
again. I don't think it's any funnier
4:29
the second time.
4:31
Most of these are the deacon organiz
4:40
you know you are close to
4:45
an like to show you folks just what
4:47
these things are to do. Here he is
4:50
Jimberly right here the cigar store
4:53
Indian of Main Street USA underneath the
4:57
cinema. I'm so used to Disney World
4:59
where there is a gift shop in here now.
5:01
But inside here, they still play some of
5:03
the the Mickey shorts from back in the
5:05
day. The classic Mickey shorts, which
5:09
are always cool to stop in there and
5:10
take a look at some of them. There's the
5:12
castle down at the end of Main Street
5:15
USA. So classic. So classic. Heading
5:18
right down the middle of Main Street,
5:20
USA. I think the castle's about
5:23
50% the size of the Disney World castle.
5:26
This is the OG, though. I mean, this is
5:27
this is the
5:30
original Sleeping Beauty versus
5:32
Cinderella Castles. Two totally
5:35
different franchise. Well, two totally
5:36
different films. Same same Disney
5:38
franchise, but and one thing I don't
5:40
have at WDW Matterhorn off to the side
5:43
of the castle. Actually, Cinderella's
5:46
Castle is probably about the size of the
5:48
Matter Horn in comparison. And then you
5:50
got the partner statue, Walt Mickey,
5:53
straight ahead.
6:02
So awesome. Vibes here in Disneyland are
6:02
are real. Over into Frontier Land and go
6:05
to the Frontier Land Trading Post. See
6:07
what kind of pins they have. I was at
6:08
Frontier. I was here the couple days
6:10
ago. Did a lot of Frontier New Orleans
6:13
Square stuff. I think today I'm going to
6:14
head over to Tomorrowland and do some
6:16
Tomorrowlandes stuff in that side of the
6:18
park. First, I'm going to pop in and uh
6:20
see what kind of pins they got in
6:21
Frontier Land at the Trading Post, which
6:23
is right over there under the theme
6:25
parks and resorts pins. They have
6:28
Fantasmic, which I didn't realize
6:29
Fantasmic was a theme park or resort and
6:32
hatbox. Got to see that they have they
6:34
have a Disneyland hotel pin, but no
6:36
proper straight Disneyland pens on their
6:38
own. But they do have Orange Bird. And
6:40
check it out. Straight from Epcot over
6:42
here on the West Coast from the East
6:44
Coast, you got Dapper Figment right
6:46
here. I love seeing Figment represented
6:48
on the West Coast. It's new. So, the
6:51
start, I think May 16th is the kickoff
6:53
of the Disneyland 70th, and of course,
6:55
July 17th is the official first day.
6:58
Now, I could go ahead and buy the
7:00
Disneyland 70th pins, but I think I
7:02
might wait till the celebration actually
7:04
officially kicks off. But take a look at
7:07
this. It looks like there's a counter on
7:09
there. You can actually do a little
7:10
countdown.
7:12
Okay, that's kind of neat. You can do a
7:14
countdown day by day till the 70th. Oh,
7:17
look. Here's a happy Easter pin. Here's
7:19
a There's actually a specific pin for
7:21
the day. Right there. There's the happy
7:24
Easter pen. Maybe I should get that. I
7:26
probably should get that cuz that's kind
7:28
of kind of a neat thing. It's a little
7:29
warmer today than it was the last two
7:32
days or yesterday, I should
7:35
say. Definitely would break a sweat if
7:37
you were out there on the canoe.
7:46
She should try to check the temperature.
7:46
It's kind of It's probably in the 80s,
7:49
maybe 90s. No, probably 80. All right. I
7:51
should never be a meteorologist because
7:53
it was
7:54
76, but it's sunny. I think the I think
7:57
yesterday it was like a high of 65. So
8:00
10° warmer than
8:02
yesterday. 76. Never mind. It's not 90s.
8:28
Always good to walk down Big Thunder
8:35
Trail. Going to pop over into Batu West,
8:35
Galaxy's Edge.
8:37
see what they they have here that we
8:40
don't have. I think Batu East kind of
8:42
gets the short end of the stick when it
8:44
comes
8:45
to things that go on in that land. This
8:49
is the postm's office. Rarely, if ever,
8:53
do I stand right here, take a gander at
8:55
it. The ste
8:56
theming says back in 5 minutes on the
8:59
the door there. There's even some wanted
9:01
signs.
9:03
I do like Galaxy's Edge, but I also miss
9:07
the all you can eat barbecue place back
9:09
here. The running of the
9:11
goats. What's it called? Big Thunder
9:13
Ranch that was back in
9:15
here. The all you can eat barbecue place
9:17
was great. But the running of the goats
9:19
was, man, that was the best particularly
9:21
what it was. This is like circa 2015 16.
9:25
I think it's 2017. It might have closed.
9:27
2015 16. It was prominent for the
9:30
running of the goats where they had the
9:31
goats out. It was like a petting zoo
9:33
with goats. And you could go after you
9:35
got done petting them at the end of the
9:36
night, an hour or two before
9:39
close, they would have the goats go
9:41
backstage to rest up for the evening for
9:44
the next day of
9:45
petting and the cast members and
9:48
trainers of the goats would call them
9:51
and they would run. There would be, you
9:53
know, a dozen goats would be charging
9:55
down this road. They'll make a little
9:58
small western road back in the little
10:01
area back here and they would go
10:03
backstage and people would be clapping
10:04
and cheering and, you know, getting the
10:07
goats all excited. It was called the
10:09
running of the goats. There's no more
10:11
petting zoo here anymore. Now it's just
10:13
you can pet Chewbacca. Sometimes they'll
10:15
let you pet him,
10:17
but we
10:20
hope he's not pointing to me.
10:22
What is everyone calling me out today?
10:23
We've got warning us about you. Me?
10:26
Don't cause any trouble. Me?
10:29
I think he's talking to someone else.
10:32
Yeah, he's he's not making eye contact
10:34
with me anymore. He must have been
10:35
talking to someone else but
10:44
me.
10:44
Yeah. Now he's ignoring me. The entry
10:47
points here on this coast are very, very
10:50
different. But once you're in Batu, kind
10:53
of all looks the same except at night
10:54
there's a different hue on the black
10:57
spires and the rock formations a little
10:58
bit. The way you can always tell here in
11:00
Anaheim and not Orlando is the lack of
11:03
clouds. Most of the time there's a lack
11:05
of
11:06
clouds. Yeah. Not really seeing a whole
11:09
lot of extracurricular activities going
11:12
on in
11:13
here. Oh, what is that up there? There's
11:15
a robot up there. Or droid. Well, I say
11:19
robot.
11:20
droid. That's the same thing. Droid is a
11:24
robot. That's interesting. When this
11:27
land first opened, you'd always see
11:28
Chewy.
11:29
And there's always other characters,
11:32
too, that would be up here kind of
11:33
fixing the X-wing. And you don't see
11:36
that anymore. At least on either coach,
11:38
really. There's some smoke being emitted
11:41
out of there.
11:47
Feel like so much can be done more with
11:47
this land. It isn't on both coasts. Is
11:51
that supposed to be Luke Skywalker from
11:53
Return of the Jedi? I think so. Is that
11:56
Jedi Luke right there walking? Just
11:59
walking through the crowd. He's got his
12:00
robe on.
12:18
I knew Jedi Luke was here. I seen some
12:18
pictures and videos of him just
12:20
strolling through the marketplace.
12:34
I'm kind of nervous though. It's like my
12:34
It's my hero. You don't need to feel
12:36
intimidated.
12:44
Luke, they're all right. I'm going to be
12:44
completely honest. I am not into the
12:48
Luke. Jedi Luke, Return of the Jedi,
12:52
Luke Skywalker is my all-time favorite.
12:54
Luke, my favorite Star Wars
12:57
character. 10 times above any other any
13:00
other one from the franchise and not
13:02
into the meet and greet. I don't for me
13:05
it doesn't really resemble Luke. I'm not
13:08
getting the Luke vibes. Me personally,
13:11
granted that, you know, the Luke
13:13
character meet and greet, it's not for
13:14
me. It's for probably younger generation
13:17
that probably saw the Mandalorian Luke
13:20
who was, you know, still Jedi Luke, but
13:23
when you when you see the character
13:25
walking around, for me does not give me
13:28
my hero of the Star Wars universe, Luke
13:31
Skywalker vibes. It's cool that he's
13:33
here,
13:35
but didn't I don't get I don't get super
13:37
stoked on it. That's just that's just my
13:39
personal opinion. Some people love
13:41
it. Not me so much. I understand it is
13:44
tough to pull off a face character in
13:46
the park and have it, you know, have it
13:50
fully
13:55
resemble. But that's like that's that's
13:55
the
13:56
guy. It's got to be dialed in 100%. And
13:59
in my opinion, I don't feel it is. I
14:01
know. I should see maybe if there is a
14:03
single rider for the Matterhorn cuz I'm
14:06
rolling solo today. Nach use a pun
14:09
walking out of Galaxy's Edge, but I'm
14:11
rolling solo even though I look nothing
14:13
like Harrison Ford
14:15
unfortunately. Ooh, I'll take this. He
14:17
got the moil given a little honkage
14:19
there in front of the tree obscured
14:22
Matterhorn, the
14:24
Argonaut
14:26
807. You know, there was a time back in
14:28
the day that mermaids would sit on these
14:31
rocks. Now there's a
14:33
squid, but mermaids would sit on these
14:36
rocks, entertain guests. Those days are
14:39
long gone, as are the days that the
14:43
mountain climbers on the Matterhorn
14:46
existed. They used to have real mountain
14:48
climbers climb the Matter
14:49
Horn. By gone era of
14:52
Disneyland. All right. The line for
14:54
Matter Horn, single rider line, was like
14:56
50 people deep. No exaggeration. I
14:59
walked over here to
15:00
Tomorrowland at the where the Captain
15:03
Eio Theater used to be. I think Season
15:05
of the Force is going on right now here
15:07
at Disneyland, which is basically a Star
15:08
Wars theme event. They're pumping the
15:10
Star Wars music over there off in the
15:13
distance. And I've kind of gone towards
15:15
the single rider entrance for Space
15:18
Mountain, which is Hyperspace Mountain.
15:20
And I'm not even kidding. This is the
15:23
single rider line for Hyperspace
15:26
Mountain, the Star Wars overlay. That's
15:29
the single freaking rider line that
15:32
stretches all the way out past the
15:34
restrooms, past the gift shop. I think
15:37
like 7 8 9 10 years ago, they did season
15:39
the Force and they actually had a movie
15:41
in here, a compilation of different Star
15:44
Wars films from the franchise, but
15:45
doesn't look like they're using it this
15:47
year. And to be completely honest, it's
15:49
probably quicker to wait in the 70minute
15:51
standby to get in that single rider
15:54
line. That thing is insanely long. You
15:56
love Hyperspace Mountain, though.
15:58
Definitely enjoy it. But I don't
16:00
70minute wait time. Enjoy it. It is wild
16:04
how long the wait times are. I mean, it
16:06
is a is a holiday. It's Easter Sunday
16:08
and the park is full. So, it's going to
16:11
be definitely more of a walk around and
16:13
uh just enjoy the moment kind of day
16:16
than uh standing in line by myself kind
16:18
of even the single rider lines are very
16:21
very very very lengthy. There's no
16:23
advantage to even getting in the single
16:25
rider line. Right, stopping over into
16:27
DCA. Last time I was in here, the red
16:29
trolleys were still run. It's been a
16:30
minute since I've been in Disney
16:31
California Adventure. Red trolleys are
16:33
no longer operational. One's just
16:35
sitting here though. RIP. They still
16:38
have the Roger Rabbit Eddie Valiant nod
16:40
right here. His mailbox. Eddie Valiant
16:43
is still here at Disney California
16:46
Adventure. If you ever want to see the
16:48
Eddie Valiant from Roger Rabbit mailbox,
16:49
it's up these stairs on his mailbox
16:52
right here at
16:53
2632 Vista Street. Wow, there's a
16:56
tremendous amount of scrim around the
16:58
Carth restaurant. Looks like they're
17:00
doing a little construction over there.
17:01
Giving them a little TLC, fixing it up a
17:04
little bit. Nice. Go check out the Power
17:06
Line Max popcorn bucket right there.
17:08
Probably will not be adding that one to
17:10
my collection, but we do have a pretty
17:12
decent popcorn bucket
17:19
collection. Goofy Movie, I think, is
17:20
celebrating a anniversary this year. A
17:21
big anniversary. Powerline Max. $35 for
17:26
a choice of regular popcorn or cotton
17:28
candy at time purchase. And just like
17:30
Epcot does food and wine, they are doing
17:32
the DCA food and wine at this moment.
17:35
Maybe the single rider for Radiator
17:36
Springs Racers, which is usually single
17:38
riders kind of a walk-on. Even that is
17:41
backed up 100 people deep. It's
17:44
stretching out underneath the underpass
17:46
there. So, you kind of go over there.
17:48
It's like everyone's trying the single
17:50
rider hack and it's it's pretty backed
17:52
up. So, I'm going to guess it's probably
17:54
an hour wait even for the single rider.
17:56
I was thinking maybe I'd get lucky
17:57
because usually it's a walk-on if you do
18:00
single rider, which is kind of nice.
18:01
This is test track is not running in
18:04
Florida currently. This is like a step
18:06
up from the first two versions of test
18:08
track. Really like Radiator Springs
18:10
Racers, but yeah, that's the single
18:12
rider line. That's uh that's that's
18:14
that's lengthy for single rider. That's
18:16
that's probably just as long as waiting
18:18
in the regular standby to be honest.
18:19
There they
18:21
go. Yeah. You know, I think probably
18:24
just going to head out. Maybe head up to
18:25
Buena Park, grab some fur at FU 21.
18:30
Decided not to get any food here at the
18:31
parks. Been craving some some fur for my
18:34
favorite faux fur
18:38
place, 421 from Buena. Wait times really
18:42
are something. 85 minutes for
18:51
Radiator, 45 for Spider-Man, 90 minutes
18:51
for Guardians. So, I was thinking maybe
18:52
doing a short wait time over at Monsters
18:55
Inc., but you can see the Monsters Inc.
18:57
is down. That's what that little star
19:00
is. So, no go on that one. 55 for
19:04
Grizzly River. Even
19:07
85 to go on
19:10
Soaring. It's just definitely not a day
19:12
to to knock out some
19:14
rides. 45 for Mansion. That's actually
19:17
not too bad. 40 for Big Thunder, but I
19:19
did that the other day.
19:22
70 minutes for
19:23
rise. 85 minutes. What's 85 for
19:35
Tiana's? Yeah. So,
19:35
definitely not a day to do stuff. I
19:37
mean, I've done most I've done all these
19:39
rides a bunch of times, so it's not like
19:41
I'm really have to go on anything, but
19:44
an hour and 5 minute wait for space. I
19:47
think I'm
19:49
good. Well, I popped in and walked
19:51
around and utilized my reservation
19:52
because if I didn't scan it
19:54
in, I would not I would have got a
19:57
strike. You three strikes, you're out
19:59
for a month. Probably doesn't affect me
20:01
too much because I'm only here a couple
20:03
times a year. But yeah, you know, it is
20:04
a little warm out. It's not like 90 like
20:06
I predicted it would be, but for SoCal,
20:08
it's a little warm because there's no
20:10
clouds in the sky, so the sun is
20:11
permeating down. probably feel pretty
20:13
good to go on the water
20:15
ride. But again, that's like what like
20:17
an hour
20:18
wait. Would have been good cuz I have a
20:20
hotel in a harbor. If I was to go on a
20:22
water ride and get completely soaking
20:24
wet and drenched, it wouldn't be that
20:25
big of a deal to just walk over and and
20:28
get out of the wet clothes,
20:31
but I'll be uh heading out to get some
20:33
some wayart to get some fun. I was going
20:35
to say this is the entrance. There's
20:37
that big bear. He's got his lantern and
20:40
his paddle. Oh, look at this. to doing a
20:42
little construction over here at the
20:44
little shortcut to Grand
20:45
Californiaifornian hotel and spa. Now
20:48
you have to go all the way around
20:49
through Downtown Disney. You can't sneak
20:52
in the secret entrance. Well, secret.
20:54
It's not it's not really a secret, but
20:56
you can't sneak in the entrance even if
20:57
you're staying here. That's part of the
20:59
that's one of the bonuses of staying
21:00
here and, you know, booking a DVC room
21:03
or paying the paying the money to stay
21:05
here is having this nice little
21:06
entrance. So, that's kind of a kind of a
21:08
bummer for anyone that's staying here.
21:11
Catching the Montreal as I walk by sore.
21:14
You know, I got to thinking I should
21:15
probably get a Knots pass while I'm in
21:17
Buena Park. Maybe I could do Knots
21:18
today, too. Show how busy it is there on
21:20
Easter. Truthfully, I would predict that
21:22
Knots is probably even busier than
21:24
Disneyland and DCA. I would predict that
21:26
Knots is busier cuz Knots on the
21:28
weekends is always slammed anyway. On a
21:30
holiday, it's probably next level.
21:32
You're welcome,
21:34
Disneyland. You're
21:36
welcome. Cruising along now. Buena
21:39
Park. I've
21:42
arrived. I have arrived. Dare I say my
21:46
favorite F place that I've ever
21:48
found. F2. Faux 21 located right over
21:53
here in this
21:59
plaza. Zion Market over there. Home
21:59
shopping. Moon
22:01
Beach Grill and Restaurant. Tofu House
22:04
next to that. And then
22:07
Faux 21. And you can pretty much count
22:10
on me getting the same thing every time
22:12
I'm here. Every time I'm in town, if I'm
22:15
in Orange County, when I lived here, I
22:16
ate here once, twice a week. Even when I
22:20
lived up in Hollywood, I would come down
22:21
here, especially for before going to
22:22
Knots or Disney. Haunt season
22:26
especially I would eat here. But still a
22:29
few times a year when I'm in town, I
22:30
will I'll pop inside FO2 and I always
22:32
get the same thing. I get fogga, which
22:34
is chicken, and then I also get spring
22:36
rolls. So, I get thinly sliced chicken
22:40
and a delicious broth, which I've never
22:42
found the equal. I wish there was a
22:44
place close to Celebration that had the
22:46
same kind of stuff, but I haven't found
22:48
a a localized to Florida near
22:50
Celebration good place that equals F21
22:53
in
22:55
Buark. It's like my comfort food. I
22:58
swear whenever I'm in Orange County or
23:01
LA, this this is my comfort food spot.
23:10
That was amazing. That might be my
23:10
number one comfort
23:11
food. There's a lot of foods I really
23:13
enjoy, but I think my biggest comfort
23:16
food be a good
23:19
delicious
23:20
brothy bowl of
23:23
fun. Unnecessary noise, motor racing,
23:26
vehicle cruising. This is a word I use a
23:28
lot and it is a real word.
23:36
congregating are not allowed outside FO2
23:36
according to that sign. Thumbs up 421. I
23:40
love it. Not Berry Farm, the friendliest
23:44
place in the West. Parking was $35. Now,
23:47
they do not have annual passes here.
23:48
They only have season passes. So, they
23:51
expire at New Year's every year. And I
23:53
have not been here since Halloween
23:55
Haunt, since Scary Farm. So, I need to
23:57
renew my pass. But because I don't have
23:58
a pass, got to pay to park. Evidently, I
24:01
can take my receipt for the 35 and apply
24:03
that to the price of a season pass. Not
24:06
an annual pass, a season pass. So, I'll
24:09
see if that works. Boenberry Festival is
24:11
going on right now, just like food and
24:12
wine. It's happening at DCA. Probably
24:15
will not be eating anything from
24:16
Boenberry Festival cuz I just chowed
24:18
down on some delicious
24:20
soup. But I have the pass. I could
24:22
always pop back in another day while I'm
24:24
here
24:25
and and do a do a Boenberry episode. I
24:29
might not even get on any attractions or
24:31
rides either because it's probably going
24:32
to be really really busy. But just want
24:33
to pop in and get my season my SP, not
24:36
my AP, my SP season pass. I can hear and
24:38
now see Ghost Rider climbing up there.
24:42
Yeah, in all honesty, I probably
24:45
need I mean going on coming on a weekend
24:47
of the theme parks here in SoCal, you're
24:48
not gonna get a lot done. So, sometime
24:51
during the weekdays upcoming, I need to
24:54
return back to Disneyland and get some
24:56
uh DCA rides in and then I need to
24:58
return to Knots another day and do some
25:00
knots. Knots Berry Farm. So, that that
25:03
might be happening. Spoiler alert. It
25:04
could very It's a possibility. Uh there
25:06
he is. My old friend, the big bear right
25:09
here. During haunt season, he always has
25:11
a witch hat on, but right now he's not
25:14
feeling very witchy. Oh, look. They have
25:16
all the Boenberry stuff out. I mean,
25:17
they always have Boenberry stuff out,
25:19
but they have more Boenberry stuff out
25:20
now because it is part of the
25:23
festival that's going on. Here's even a
25:25
full
25:27
Boenberry Snoopy right here. No way.
25:30
10year anniversary of Boenberry. So,
25:32
when I moved here in 2015 was the first
25:34
Boenberry Festival. Holy cow. That's a
25:37
historic occasion. I've just been
25:38
harping on the fact that it's like 10
25:40
years since I first moved to SoCal and
25:44
that was the start of Boenberry
25:45
Festival. What are the What a weird
25:48
weird coincidence.
25:51
Were you going to wear one of these
25:52
shirts now or
25:59
love that they have the
25:59
Caddyywampus from over in the ghost town
26:02
t-shirt. That's nice, too. And they have
26:05
this little uh little donkey down here.
26:09
Official Knottberry Farm donkey. If
26:12
memory serves correct, you get the
26:14
season passes over here at the exit
26:17
without going in. Just walk into the
26:18
side of this little information booth
26:20
here. I completed that was relatively
26:22
easy with the $35 discount and the
26:25
parking added on and can come in here
26:28
every day until New Year's Eve. $195 was
26:31
my total out the door. And I'm now going
26:33
to head out the door and into the park.
26:37
If you do the math, I think that's about
26:39
17th of the price of a Disneyland annual
26:41
pass with parking. I think it's like
26:43
1,600 for Disneyland, 195 with parking
26:46
for not. Coming in hot. Coming in
26:51
hot. Snoopy used to be on a surfboard
26:54
right here with Woodstock, but he's been
26:57
gone for like a year or so. I wonder
26:59
what happened. I guess he just surfed
27:01
away. The more I think about it, who
27:04
know? I'm not sure if I'm going to get
27:05
back in the knots. while I'm here on
27:07
this trip. But it's good to have the
27:08
pass. It's good to have the pass either
27:10
way. It is Bo and Berry Festival. Food,
27:15
fun, music. Oh, I think he's I think
27:18
he's awake this time. You awake this
27:20
time. Sad I say what now? Last couple
27:22
times you've been snoozing. Been on a
27:24
little little nap break. Yeah. Yeah, I I
27:26
am awake and ready to go. you. I mean,
27:29
especially today, I had to take a little
27:31
15-minute nap cuz
27:32
woo, I was full of all them Easter eggs.
27:36
Oh, you ate some Easter eggs. Oh, at
27:37
least that's what I hope they were.
27:39
Okay. It must How's the smell in there?
27:41
How's the smell in there? Well, I tell
27:43
you this much. I've been laying eggs all
27:44
day. You know, you look very photogenic
27:47
right now with that sun coming through
27:48
the other the other side window. It's
27:50
like, oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. I I I could be
27:52
in I can be Life magazine or Natural
27:54
Geographic right now. It could be. If I
27:56
see him around, I'll tell them to come
27:57
take a photo of you. Oh, yeah. Yeah.
27:58
Yeah. Tell them. Tell them I am prime at
28:00
GQ men, too. Tell them I am prime. Prime
28:04
to be photographed. Okay. How goes the
28:06
jailbreaking uh plans. Oh, you know
28:08
what? I'm I'm putting them aside for
28:10
just today, taking Sunday off, but I've
28:12
got some really interesting plans coming
28:14
up. It's Easter. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
28:16
It's Easter, so I'm just taking a break
28:18
for today. But come Monday, tomorrow. I
28:21
want I got a complex plan of levers and
28:23
pulleys ready. Sounds good. Sad. It's
28:26
always good to see you. It's always good
28:27
to see you, too. All right, take care.
28:29
I'll talk to you. Well, I say I'll see
28:30
you next time, but you're escaping
28:32
tomorrow. So, well, well, hopefully I'm
28:33
escaping tomorrow. If you see me again
28:35
in here, that means it did not work. All
28:37
right, sounds good. See you Saturday.
28:38
Happy Easter. Happy Easter, man.
28:42
And Boen Berry Festival is no exception.
28:46
A boen berry is a cross between a
28:47
raspberry, blackberry, and a Logan
28:49
berry. They are famously juicy and
28:52
large in size.
29:00
Wonder what the wait time on the log
29:00
ride is. Love the Knots Timber Mountain
29:04
log
29:05
ride. Again,
29:08
weekday, no one really at Knots, no pun
29:11
intended, weekdays like a ghost town.
29:13
Weekends a beehive of activity. I'll be
29:17
honest. I imagine the weight times are
29:18
probably one of what they would be on a
29:21
weekday or onetenth of what they would
29:23
be on a weekend on a
29:26
weekday. I'll check it out and see. You
29:28
never know. Maybe maybe I'll get lucky.
29:30
Much as I love Timber Mountain Log, I am
29:35
going to pass on 75. Yeah, that's a long
29:39
stretch. Long line. Long line. That
29:42
looks like he's oiling up the He's
29:44
oiling something up right there. Got the
29:46
oil can sticking it down in there.
29:49
Oiling
29:50
up the wheels, I'm
29:57
guessing. He's taking that oil can. So,
29:57
he's going to shove the oil can in
29:59
there. Spit a little little oil out. Get
30:03
it all all ready to go. Yeah, it's on
30:06
wheels or the gears for the
30:09
wheels, I should say.
30:17
Get it all smooth so it rides good. The
30:17
old number 41, the Rio Grand Southern
30:27
Railroad. Nice train.
30:27
You're the one
30:35
who
30:47
godamn. Look at this guy. Really cool.
30:47
Oh, he's got some gold. Look at this.
30:49
You got You found you a nugget of gold
30:55
right there. He's got a nugget of gold.
30:55
We got a little little corn cob pipe
30:58
right there.
31:06
I know where we got that nugget of gold.
31:06
I think I'm going to pop over inside the
31:08
museum. They always got some cool little
31:11
artifacts inside the museum in here. A
31:13
lot of people don't even realize there
31:14
is a knots
31:15
museum over in this area. The old
31:19
original book here that says welcome to
31:21
Ghost Town signed by Walter KN right
31:23
there. used to be out in the park
31:26
elsewhere, but they moved it in here
31:27
many years ago. There's Jesse. Jesse
31:29
James right there. Calamity Jane.
31:32
There's Wild Bill as well. Love this
31:35
area of Knots. I love they have all
31:37
these artifacts in here with the old
31:39
record players. And they have this
31:41
little miniature version here of a
31:43
western cow town. Variety of horseshoes.
31:46
The old 999 Empire State Express right
31:50
there. Different degrees of barb wire.
31:53
Kind of reminds me of the barb wire
31:54
salesman from part three of Back to the
31:57
Future. I saw Jimberly earlier. Here's
31:59
another cigar store in India where they
32:01
would use these to promote to sell
32:04
cigars. You can see right there are the
32:06
cigars in hand to promote. They put
32:07
outside of shops that would sell sell
32:11
cigars. It's a 19 or 1853
32:15
fire engineer.
32:23
What is this?
32:23
It was better than France England in the
32:25
United States. At one time, more money
32:28
to change hands playing this card game
32:30
than all other card games combined.
32:31
Really, because the odds are quite even.
32:33
So, more people played it. But because
32:35
the odds are quite even, it didn't take
32:36
much for the game to cheat to get the
32:38
upper hand. So, the house had to cheat
32:39
to maintain the upper hand. It'd be a
32:41
cheaters game. The last game was played
32:43
1985 in Reno, Nevada.
32:46
Bucking the tiger. Yes. Ever seen the
32:49
movie Tombstone? I have. This is the
32:51
game right. No kidding. All right. Ghost
32:54
Town is definitely my favorite area of
32:57
Knots. Without a doubt, I love Ghost
33:15
Town.
33:28
Imagine having this outside your house.
33:31
Little plant holder. He's holding a
33:32
plant there. Bigfoot. Three grand for
33:35
this. Handcarve. Something interesting.
33:37
The Boys and Bears here at NAS debuted
33:39
in 34. Same year Mrs. Cordelia served
33:42
her first famous fried chicken dinner.
33:46
I think I might get a nice delicious
33:48
treat to round out the day. Maybe a a
33:50
boen berry treat. There is no one in
33:53
here. This is where Santa was during the
33:55
You know what? I was here for the
33:57
holidays. I was here for the holiday. I
33:58
was here for haunt and I was here for
34:00
Christmas. I'll take that back. I was
34:02
here for Merry Farm. All right, man. I
34:04
appreciate it. Thank you. Have a great
34:05
day. This is the boenberry cucumber and
34:07
lemonade punch. And I also want bread
34:10
pudding with boenberry and boenberry
34:11
cream cheese and drizzle. That is a
34:14
That's a goodiz portion right there. Not
34:16
bad for both of these. I am really kind
34:18
of blown away by the portion size on
34:19
this. Look at this thing. This thing has
34:22
got some uh got some weight to
34:25
it.
34:26
Right. I was thinking it was going to be
34:28
like a sample size. Almost like when you
34:30
go to Epcot Food and Wine, they you pay
34:33
like 12 bucks for a little thing and
34:34
it's like two nibbles. This thing's like
34:37
no joke. This thing is got some heo to
34:40
it. Look at that shake. Oh, I think the
34:43
Pony Express is
34:55
it. That's the precursor to
34:55
Tron. Same ride vehicle as
34:58
Sean, but way before. Oh my gosh, that's
35:00
good.
35:06
Oh wow, that is tasty.
35:14
Everything is boen berry. The drink's
35:14
pretty good, too. It's like cucumber
35:17
lemonade, but boenberry flavor, which is
35:20
refreshing, but also very boenberry.
35:28
Our store Indian overload. There's
35:30
another one.
35:38
He's got a a batch of them. One there.
35:38
Another
35:41
uh half a dozen, two dozen in the hand
35:44
there. We're here in the gift shop. I
35:45
always love this
35:46
timeline of Knots. Here's the Knots
35:49
family. Walter and Cordelia and all
35:52
their
35:58
children. Park's been around a long
35:58
time,
36:00
over a hundred years.
36:02
Pre-
36:15
Always always a pleasure coming in here.
36:15
Always try to get a yearly
36:17
pass whenever I can just because it's
36:20
easy to just stop in and have a good day
36:22
whenever you're at Knots.
36:41
You're welcome. Knots. You're welcome.
36:41
That's going to do it for today. Thanks
36:42
for watching. I'll see you in the next
36:45
video.
36:46
Vlog. Happy
36:48
Easter. Vlog is a
