Friday May 24th
0:19
2024 and I am heading to Disney springs
0:19
for what will be the opening night of
0:21
the first drone show that they've had
0:23
there in five six maybe 7 years and the
0:27
show does not begin and the show does
0:28
not take place until 9 p.m. it's about
0:30
5:15 right now going have plenty of time
0:33
to peruse and walk around Disney springs
0:37
for the next few hours before the show I
0:39
also kind of wonder if the weather is
0:41
going to play into this cuz it's a
0:42
little overcast also team orange this
0:45
evening this is the closest parking
0:47
garage well it's the direction I head in
0:49
when I'm leaving celebration so I park
0:52
in the orange garage more than any other
0:54
garage team Orange today we going to the
0:57
top little cloudy little over pass which
1:00
is nice cuz it's very sunny out today
1:02
with those clouds
1:03
are blocking it a little bit also the
1:07
aerop file balloon is up in there maybe
1:09
I could ride the balloon it's been a
1:11
while now from what I'm hearing at 8:00
1:14
the balloon usually runs a little later
1:16
the balloon is not going to be running
1:17
past 8 because they have to prepare an
1:19
hour later to do the Drone show fun fact
1:21
so they have to because the drones are
1:23
going to be right there which means
1:25
probably get a pretty good view up here
1:26
so I'm not sure if I'm going to watch
1:27
them down by the lakefront or if I'm
1:29
want to watch her from up here it's not
1:31
only like couple hundred yards and you
1:33
get a bird's eye from here so maybe I'll
1:34
choose to watch her from up here welcome
1:36
everyone Adam the woo here I believe it
1:38
was 2017 18 don't quote me on that when
1:41
the last drone show happened here at
1:44
Springs but technology has advanced a
1:47
lot since then and it's a totally
1:48
different show more info on that later
1:51
let me get down into Disney Springs I'm
1:53
inviting you to join me as the balloon I
1:55
think the balloon is about to start
1:56
heading back down maybe I'll do the
1:58
balloon also there's is a Starbucks
2:01
below the balloon that has some Reserve
2:04
flavors which they don't have at all the
2:06
Starbucks so I might get a piping hot
2:09
caffeinated beverage that you can't get
2:10
at a lot of other
2:12
places and just have a Springs evening
2:14
join me good to have you here shall you
2:17
you know it really does make sense to
2:19
try to get a spot right here along this
2:20
little over railing right here above the
2:23
AMC dining theaters there to look at the
2:26
Drone so that right there is the old
2:28
that's well that is still is Planet
2:29
Hollywood even though they get a little
2:30
refurb on it years ago but the drones
2:33
the Drone show is going to be right
2:35
there and it's going to be high enough
2:37
to see so I don't know it might be a
2:38
little too far back but I feel like it
2:41
probably get a pretty good view if I
2:43
just come up here a little bit later and
2:44
stand right here I probably won't be the
2:46
only person with that idea but I might
2:49
do that I might there's a nice little
2:51
view of the bus barn while the bus pull
2:53
in I should say bus pull in or you can
2:56
take out all the resorts and park here
2:58
comes a crow fly and across thought Crow
3:01
was going to head right towards the
3:02
camera I think that's lime garage over
3:05
there maybe it's one of the other
3:07
garages but this is the one I park at
3:08
the
3:09
most team orange oh I just noticed that
3:12
these are orange too probably not a
3:14
coincidence taking the stairs
3:17
down and then the go through the
3:20
checkpoints and then into almost said
3:22
the park into
3:26
Springs it's going to be a Springs night
3:29
top floor there is no escalator got to
3:31
come down to the floor below it and then
3:33
grab the
3:34
escalator two more
3:37
floors to go through the checkpoints and
4:03
all right I inquired and they do in fact
4:03
have the reserve exotic rare and
4:06
exquisite coffee in fact they have it on
4:08
the sign right there exotic rare and
4:12
exquisite coffees making everybody loves
4:15
you have a clover will never go back
4:18
okay the Clover is what there is that
4:19
the machine name or the or the it's what
4:21
this machine is called the machine is
4:23
called the Clover all
4:25
right exciting there the rarest most
4:28
extraordinary copies from the Starbucks
4:31
Reserve you can get it also they have a
4:33
little seating area you can get it in a
4:35
regular regular cup I'm getting mine to
4:38
go I think I'm getting mine to go I
4:39
probably should have set up getting mine
4:40
to go all right accomplished I got the
4:42
colia narino I believe it is called I
4:45
got the large right there and over on
4:46
the back it has a little bit of
4:48
information now at this particular time
4:49
frame I don't know if I've ever seen the
4:50
line this short for the aoile used to be
4:53
called characters and flight but I just
4:54
decided they said I wouldn't allowed to
4:56
bring the coffee on board but I could
4:58
leave it at the bottom of the base of it
5:00
and they probably cool it down a little
5:02
bit also the coffee is really really
5:03
good so I went ahead and got in line
5:05
filled out the waiver on this little
5:06
iPad thing and now I'm going to go up in
5:08
the in the balloon the cast member at
5:09
the booth itself when I was about to
5:11
purchase the ticket he goes man this the
5:12
line gets a lot longer really quick so
5:15
I'm just going to go ahead and do it and
5:16
they had this whole area blocked off
5:17
here and I think they're going to like
5:18
load people in from down that way just
5:20
cir SL way behind House of Blues point
5:22
and then I up against all right heading
5:25
in heading onto the balloon be nice if
5:29
they just let me on with the coffee but
5:31
it would be nice to sip a piping hot
5:33

there that's Westward that's
6:54
Southward that's where I parked my car
6:56
up there on the top of the roof
7:06
nice I I would love to I could would do
7:06
this every time if it was just this
7:07
simple with the line was that
7:13
short check it out down there look
7:13
there's the amp
7:20
cars going up the amp the cars going up
7:20
the lift now I had heard they shut the
7:23
amp the cars down about a couple weeks
7:24
ago when there was a slight drought here
7:26
in Florida did rain for like a few weeks
7:29
and this Lake got so low they didn't
7:30
have the a cars
7:31
out that's what I heard anyway right
7:34
down there is going to be the viewing
7:35
area
7:36
for the show was that firework show was
7:39
going to be a drone show it's going to
7:41
be taking place right on the lake right
7:43
there on the back side of the Starbucks
7:45
well the front side of the water or the
7:47
back side of the water depending much
7:48
way you're looking at it the back side
7:49
of that Starbucks so that's the
7:50
Starbucks there right there and that
7:53
right there is where I purchased the
7:54
tickets I think it was like $27 or give
7:57
or take they did give you a 20 can do
7:59
it's Walt Disney World and Walt Disney
8:01
World property of 30,000 acres is all to
8:05
the west of us if you are directionally
8:08
challenged there's a compass right down
8:10
in the
8:12
middle there's House of BL okay I just
8:14
looked at my receipt total with the
8:15
discount
8:16
$25.55 for Ace right over
8:20
there is spaceship
8:27
earth check it out spaceship kind of
8:27
hard to get it with the sun there but
8:28
there spaceship there living
8:31
Seas you're Ang Swan and Dolphin over
8:35
there if you look way over there you can
8:37
see the Contemporary Space Mountain
8:39
Magic Kingdom off in the
8:47
distance pretty nice it is warm right
8:47
now the sun is out but
8:49
soon Sunset obviously the sh the show is
8:53
not going to happen until Nightfall it's
8:55
going to rear its head so we going to
8:57
get this is a good time to be here
8:58
because I'm the heat of the day is
9:00
pretty much
9:02
over a lot of it is because of the cloud
9:05
formation too blocking the Sun so that
9:07
has a lot to do with that as well it's
9:10
still hot but not as hot as it was a
9:11
couple hours
9:16
ago whatever you
9:16
do don't look
9:27
down oh there's the Lego sea monster
9:27
over there right there in the middle of
9:30
screen it's also interesting he was
9:32
saying until for the rest next few
9:35
months while they're doing the
9:37
show 8:00 is going to be the last time
9:39
the aop file flies oh we're going
9:43
down there was a beeping and then the
9:46
pilot his name is Crash made an
9:48
announcement that it was going to go
9:49
down swaying a little bit I've been on
9:51
this before where it was way more
9:54
swayy can handle this not too windy to
9:57
it also be interesting to see what it's
9:59
like if the Drone show can be seen
10:01
really well from over there at that
10:07
Resort or if it's made and geared kind
10:11
of to look at it from the spring side I
10:15
would hope they would do it where you
10:16
could see it from all different angles
10:17
but what they're saying from what I was
10:18
reading online the best spot would be
10:21
right in front of that Starbucks start
10:23
me busy tonight do a stop and then get
10:25
down the rest of the way slope we are on
10:27
Wheels we may roll a little bit so
10:29
please hold on to the handil until we
10:30
come to
10:32
a going to be a little bump when we get
10:34
to the bottom got my SE
10:36
legs oh my balloon
10:39
legs it's on Wheels it's going to be a
10:42
little bit of a bum
10:43
cheers Hey guys you're going to feel a
10:46
bump here the
10:48
bump I hope everybody enjoyed your
10:51
flight I get everybody to come around to
10:52
my right was freaking cool
11:04
that's got a raise cap on nicely done
11:04
yeah you definitely have to have your uh
11:06
your bearings on this thing you got to
11:07
have your
11:13
sea have a wonderful day hope you
11:13
enjoyed it guys guys have a good one
11:15
nice hat oh Adam hey what's is going to
11:17
be extremely busy the fact that they are
11:19
routing everyone over here to line up
11:21
it's only 6:05 right now the show is not
11:24
until 9: dreams that sore viewing area
11:27
starts right over here you already see 3
11:29
hours before there's a big crowd lined
11:31
up now it will be interesting though if
11:32
it rains those clouds are looking
11:35
starting to look a little little dark
11:36
this Gator it's just kind of the lunging
11:39
gate it's almost like working on its
11:40
planking skills like probably I've heard
11:43
of planking is pretty good if you do
11:44
like a planking thing like that that's
11:46
almost like a a very it's almost like a
11:48
push-up of sorts if you kind of see
11:50
theind legs and the front legs here do
11:52
like a push-up thing and you can tell
11:54
it's definitely working some muscles
11:55
burning some calories and and
11:57
formulating the muscle groups of both of
11:59
the arms because when the gator like
12:02
lunges forward on that like pushup you
12:04
can see he's like kind of groaning and
12:06
moaning a little bit getting he's
12:08
getting that pump that's right just
12:09
getting that pump there come on just get
12:12
that pump Gator come on do it right now
12:15
that I'm saying that it's getting camera
12:17
shy he doesn't want to do he doesn't
12:18
want to get that
12:19
pump come on Gator get that pump that no
12:24
all right taking a little break I think
12:26
I think the Reps between like doing a
12:28
push-up are supposed to be a little
12:29
quicker than that but you would know
12:30
more than I do because you're doing it
12:32
night and
12:33
day okay now here you go that's right
12:36
come on come on do it come on get it
12:39
let's go come
12:41
on oo I walked away and then I realized
12:44
this thing's about to erupt here got a
12:47
little erupting
12:54
volcano is that it oh there we go oo I
12:57
can feel the heat permeating off of all
12:59
right it's now
13:00
7:34 and I'm back over here at the house
13:03
of blu's water tower and it doesn't look
13:05
like they've let people in yet the line
13:08
stretches over near where the surface
13:10
parking is right over there dreams that
13:13
soar viewing area yeah so it starts in
13:18
an hour and a half all right it is now
13:19
7:45 15 minutes before the official 8:00
13:22
p.m. early close of the air the Aero
13:25
file former characters and flight
13:27
balloon and it says close due to high
13:30
winds so I'm glad I rode it a little bit
13:32
early went on a little bit earlier but
13:34
now I'm kind of curious if this is going
13:35
to affect the Drone show as well because
13:38
now the balloon is stanion into the
13:40
ground due to high winds there's a lot
13:43
of people lining up over here they are
13:44
getting some other stanions ready right
13:46
over here and there are people lining up
13:49
maybe to try to go in from this angle
13:51
also which is interesting because as the
13:53
sunset's over there that massive line
13:55
that I show so House of Blues is right
13:57
here and that lineon is over there but
13:59
be interesting if everyone's lined up
14:01
over there you know there's probably
14:02
like a thousand people in that line if
14:04
they open that at the same time they
14:05
just open this random line and everyone
14:07
just kind of like goes in there that
14:10
would be kind of kind of crappy for
14:12
everyone that went over there waited in
14:14
that long line I don't know what this
14:16
Lin's for and I also had to go back
14:17
inside the Starbucks didn't get another
14:19
coffee but I got myself into water to
14:21
get get a little hydration here
14:23
underneath the balloon got to stay hi
14:25
got to get caffeinated first and then
14:27
get hydrated Sun's going down
14:29
it's nice it's not too hot right now but
14:31
got to definitely definitely got to got
14:33
to stay hydrated a word of warning from
14:35
the 2017 show that I watch right here
14:37
with my family my mom was in town my mom
14:39
and dad were here my sister was in town
14:41
these trees right here have a lot of
14:43
birds or at least at that time during
14:45
during that a few years ago when they
14:47
did the show there's a lot of birds in
14:48
these trees so if you sit right here you
14:51
were you were under the uh you're under
14:53
uh advisement that you might get a
14:55
little bird dung in your hair so walk
14:59
over here underneath where the Starbucks
15:01
seating area that's where I ordered the
15:03
coffee earlier you got the lir over
15:06
there this is the area where the
15:10
birds oh there's a rope here okay so
15:13
there's they're going to let everyone in
15:14
from this side but there's a rope
15:15
halfway
15:16
downwhere all right they have let that
15:19
first line in it looks like it cuts off
15:21
over by where the food trucks are you
15:24
can see everyone has kind of lined up
15:26
over there so there are two sections so
15:29
I'm sure this will be the busiest night
15:31
of all of them after this it'll probably
15:32
be pretty simple to get in the line but
15:35
yeah if it is busy another night just
15:37
come over to the balloon side pretty
15:39
much anywhere along the Lagoon is a good
15:40
watching point but that's the
15:44
line right over there that's the line
15:46
that was like lined up by C to
15:48
Sola by the surface parking their house
15:51
now this grouping of people just waiting
15:53
for them to do the road drop and then
15:55
everyone's going to flood in all right
15:57
8:00 they are now opening up this side
16:00
where everyone's going to be walking in
16:01
and and heading down that way all right
16:04
so future reference there the line is up
16:06
behind House of Blues but also you can
16:08
line up over by the balloon so just in
16:10
pretty much anywhere is going to be a
16:11
good spot because the DRS are going to
16:12
be right out there all right this is the
16:14
conglomeration of people it's still an
16:16
hour before the show starts but it's
16:18
already kind of filling up look how fast
16:21
that pontoon is going by this one's not
16:23
going as fast as the other one but that
16:24
evidently has something to do with the
16:26
show the Pontoon going across the water
16:29
all right the Drone show I got to say
16:31
they have advanced quite a bit since
16:33
2017 the technology of drones in general
16:38
and how they are versus what they were
16:39
in 2017 it was really really good they
16:41
had it through a little bit of
16:49
everything a little mixture of some Star
16:49
Wars some
16:51
Marvel quite an array
16:54
of different characters and it's just
16:56
neat how they're not just like
16:57
stationary they make them where the
16:59
drones are moving and then they kind of
17:01
turn they shift around just very very
17:05
interesting the technology of the drones
17:07
I can imagine like drones of that
17:09
caliber with fireworks the best drones
17:12
shows years ago Universe studios's
17:14
Hollywood when they did the dark arts
17:17
and that was the first time I ever saw
17:19
like drones create a character and move
17:22
and they're kind of like using this here
17:23
as well now so now it's kind of become
17:25
the the
17:26
norm just like I saw the Tampa Bay Rays
17:30
did a drone show when they did their
17:32
their new merchandise release and that
17:34
drone show was amazing that was at the
17:36
St Pete pier and this was kind of on
17:38
caliber with that obviously a lot more
17:40
people were here to watch the the Disney
17:42
Springs drone show than they were at the
17:44
Tampa Bay Rays but I would say they're
17:46
both pretty equivalent technology and
17:48
caliber wise really glad I saw I'm glad
17:50
I didn't watch it from the top of the
17:52
the top of the parking garage
17:54
too probably would have been good up
17:56
there but definitely better from the
17:58
water side also the lights did not turn
18:00
off they said they were going to dim the
18:01
lights they only dimmed the lights
18:03
behind House of Blues they did not dim
18:05
the lights by the balloon but it was
18:06
still awesome you can still see it a
18:09
successful night at the Drone shop wow
18:12
there's a lot of people trying to get
18:14
into the next
18:28
sh yeah there's just a few people in
18:28
here here to get into the next show this
18:30
is for the 10:30 viewing everyone is
18:34
queued up over
18:37
there the
18:53
also I don't know what's going on over
18:53
there but someone is crowd that way
18:56
going that way all right you're yelling
18:58
something else they want some people to
19:00
go that way and some people to go that
19:03
way and because there are so many people
19:05
out here they are telling people some
19:07
people can go through the AMC theater or
19:10
you can try to chance it and go that way
19:13
all right they're saying do not go that
19:15
way they're saying alert do not go that
19:17
way they're saying go back the other
19:21
way all right so yeah you cannot go that
19:24
way they're saying do not go that way
19:26
because it's completely filled up filled
19:28
up
19:33
I didn't know so many people were
19:34
interested in drone shows
19:37
to did you like how they were just like
19:39
playing Hotel California while
19:40
everybody's like what's happening
19:42
they're like and this guy's like moving
19:44
now all right maybe I will be watching
19:47
the 10:30 drone show from the
19:50
roof this is traffic pulling in here
19:53
this isn't even leaving that's coming
19:56
that's pulling into the parking
19:57
structure also take a look off in the
20:00
distance There's a Moon there's the moon
20:01
over there it's very
20:03
busy adding the fact that it is a Friday
20:05
night weekend holiday weekend
20:08
approaching and the show the Drone
20:15
show cars aren't
20:25
moving that's the moon right next to
20:25
that street light yeah so it's either
20:27
weight in line cars in the parking
20:29
structure for a half hour to 40 minutes
20:32
or
20:34
just watch the fire watch the show again
20:39
from up here yeah this
20:41
is definitely a mess I'm just going to
20:45
walk around the top of the parking
20:46
structure around the top until the next
20:47
show starts it's going to be a late
20:50
night should have gone with my first
20:52
instinct and just wash it from the top
20:53
of the parking structure
21:02
yeah getting off the levels I'd imagine
21:02
each one of the levels is just like
21:12
this see how long before anybody
21:12
moves again once you get off the level
21:15
start heading down it's a little
21:17
quicker what is that no one's moving
21:20
it's just solid brake lights
21:37
what do
21:39
you that's horrible sounds like now
21:42
would be an excellent time to watch
21:44
think you that's true is there a late
21:46
night FY
21:48
showing what
22:09
all right it's going getting a pretty
22:09
good view from up here on the top as
22:10
well getting a getting not a bad view
22:12
starting to there it is there's the
22:15
Peter Pan Clock Tower from up here yep
22:18
and there's Peter
22:19
Pan said there's a bat flying over
22:22
through the middle of it I also think
22:25
this is probably a pretty good
22:27
opportunity to probably get in my car
22:29
cuz now it's starting to clear up a
22:30
little bit when this heads at 10:30 this
22:33
is going to be a secondary version of
22:38
everyone trying to do the mass
22:40
Exodus I think it actually might look
22:42
better up here than it did on the
22:53
ground I honestly think it looks better
22:53
from up on the top of the parking garage
22:55
than it did from ground level just my
22:58
own opinion
23:09
shot These Bars in lot for oh there's
23:09
the dustar right
23:21
there all right it's now time for me to
23:21
get out of here cuz I know once the show
23:23
ends it's going to be Mass Exodus number
23:28
two
23:29
getting out of here that's pretty cool
23:37
looking that is so
23:37
cool
23:40
bayback yeah I know you wanted to watch
23:42
a little bit of the show too big the
23:43
foot that's the guardian's dance scene
23:45
happening right over
23:51
there I just got to be patient to get
23:51
out good thing is I'm already off of the
23:53
top level so just got to descend down so
23:56
I'm hoping I'll be out of the structure
23:58
in about 10 15 minutes I think if I
24:01
waited for the the second show to end it
24:03
would have been like that mess from the
24:04
first one and it's still kind of like a
24:06
mess
24:29
but a unique perspective of the
24:29
show there it is dreams that
24:34
sore into the second
24:44
shot now the second Mass exitus begins
24:44
but I've already got a head start again
24:46
I probably should have watched the first
24:48
show from the structure
