today's adventure will take us to Walt
0:02
Disney World to Epcot for a festival has
0:07
been going on it's been about a week
0:08
since the rebrand opening it takes place
0:12
every year but there's going to be a
0:13
little twist on this one there was an
0:16
event that was going on before closures
0:18
that they are incorporating into this
0:20
one it's gonna be less booths and kind
0:23
of a mishmash of the two usually future
0:27
world opens at 9 a.m. and World Showcase
0:30
at 11:00 but during these times the
0:33
entire park opens at 11:00 so rope drop
0:36
at 11 it's currently 10:35 and about to
0:40
park
0:41
still no trams or monorail running at
0:45
this time the other day I purchase a new
0:48
Magic Man because I lost the other and
0:50
in the floorboard next to the seat this
0:54
just appeared it always happens that way
0:58
now I have to a good rule of thumb is
1:01
always document where you park I'm in a
1:05
maze 34 and park entrance that direction
1:10
welcome everyone Adam the whoo here Food
1:13
and Wine Festival combined with flower
1:15
and garden it's it's the both of them
1:18
you know in a merging of sorts we're
1:22
gonna check this out I'm inviting you to
1:23
join me Jolyon July 2020 the month where
1:29
no monorail can be seen at that I always
1:34
refer to it as Epcot Center but they
1:37
don't they've dropped the center but
1:38
it's all capitalized again Epcot's all
1:39
capitalized like the old days walking up
1:42
to the screening tent
1:44
97.1 they got the all new festival
1:47
banner right there no passports this go
1:50
around with it you have the guide Maps
1:51
and here it's kind of fun you can match
1:53
up the map with with spaceship earth
1:55
they are listing the relaxation stations
1:57
on here as well I've been doing really
1:59
good on my my weight loss so I'm not
2:01
gonna eat all the food but only a little
2:03
bit of the food every platter comes out
2:05
tasty I never get tired of looking at
2:08
this amazing structure it's a symbol of
2:11
the
2:11
of this park really can't bypass these
2:14
short lines I'm going to stop in real
2:15
quick and thank the Phoenicians thank
2:17
you guys thank you so much since I'm not
2:19
gonna feature each and every item at all
2:22
the booths I'm gonna choose about two or
2:24
three small portions back in World
2:28
Showcase before I do that I'm gonna head
2:29
over to Mouse gear see what kind of
2:31
merchandise is left over from flower and
2:34
garden and if anything from food and
2:36
wine has reared its head by the way I do
2:41
think that this is supposed to be
2:43
progress City which became abcott in
2:46
Walt's mind I think that's what that I
2:50
think that's what that is depicting and
2:53
I'm seeing a couple gentlemen over here
2:55
that look familiar
2:56
got Chris from aimless adventures vlog
2:59
and world of Myka
3:08
it's very sunny out there what do you
3:08
think of this Florida heat well and it's
3:13
always Florida but you're back now to
3:15
visit I am is it
3:17
have you been acclimated to other areas
3:19
yes we're about to go back outside so
3:26
they let the acclamation begin see some
3:29
of the topiaries from the flower event
3:31
are still here on on site in this store
3:34
I'm not seeing any current festival
3:36
merchandise however they do have a few
3:38
shirts left over from the other one I
3:40
was here last week and I also didn't
3:43
notice any and as well as the Annual
3:45
Pass Holder magnet there were two of
3:48
them and because of the closure the
3:50
second magnet was not accessible I'm not
3:52
seeing those in here at this particular
3:54
time as well
3:55
I just asked and no current event
3:57
merchandise will be out until mid-august
3:59
and the magnets there's no one knows
4:02
what's going on with the magnets for now
4:04
I'm hearing maybe mid-august on those as
4:06
well I'm also hearing that maybe they
4:07
weren't produced in the first place it
4:09
really just depends on who you talk to I
4:11
really would like to have that orange
4:12
bird magnet at some point though one of
4:14
the relaxation stations is located over
4:16
here by mission space and test track
4:18
this really is such a great time to be
4:20
here low crowds it is a weekday but
4:21
still this is plenty of elbow room
4:23
I did not realize this until very
4:26
recently but the 25 emblem is on this
4:31
cake meaning 25 years of food and wine
4:36
I'm taking that too to be what that
4:39
stands for 25 years of this festival now
4:46
that's a reason to celebrate if ever
4:48
there was one okay I'm gonna I'm gonna
4:50
get something the festival market pop-up
4:53
shop there doesn't have a whole lot of
4:55
guests in it at the moment and the stand
4:57
over here is a Caribbean island
4:59
Caribbean themed that's a good one for
5:02
550 they have an empanada they also have
5:04
a spiced chicken and a few beverage
5:07
options and if you're in need of a
5:09
guidebook they it's all digital this
5:11
year you just scan it right there on the
5:12
my Disney experience mobile app really
5:15
kind of amazing this this walkway and
5:18
are starting to formulate up there look
5:19
at those those clouds and the new
5:21
implementation of a new rule where you
5:23
have to be standing or sitting to eat
5:26
and have your covering on thank you as
5:28
of yesterday I believe you can no longer
5:30
walk and eat with your with this down at
5:32
the same time oh dang here at earth eats
5:34
they have an impossible farmhouse a
5:36
meatball for a 575 I think I'm going to
5:38
get an impossible meatball there are new
5:40
plastic cutlery dispensers now there's
5:43
one there and one there very fancy where
5:45
it just dispenses one at a time and this
5:48
is what we're dealing with I to be
5:51
honest I've never had any sort of
5:53
impossible meet anytime in my life this
5:55
is the first time looks very very
5:57
delectable with a nice little sauce this
6:00
is exciting oh it smells it smells
6:02
really good even even from even from
6:04
this angle okay I'm I'm not to do it
6:06
it's happening
6:08
that's really good there's no meat first
6:12
I know there's no meat but I think the
6:13
impossible means there's no meat and a
6:15
meatball it's not a real-deal meatball
6:18
it's made by plant products perhaps
6:22
that is really good that is really
6:25
really good I am really content with how
6:27
tasty this is much tastier than I
6:29
imagined that it would be continuing on
6:33
this yeah those clouds are really
6:35
starting to come into fruition over
6:36
there should also know there are plenty
6:38
of tables sometimes you have to eat on
6:40
the trash cans out here when it's so
6:41
busy but there's plenty of tables
6:43
available that's a rare over in China
6:45
they have chicken dumplings and beef Bao
6:47
buns there's a pontoon boat they are out
6:49
on the water at the moment so many
6:50
tables are accessible at the moment lots
6:53
of tables I don't recall seeing this
6:54
stand in the past I think it might be I
6:56
mean it might be a new pop up they have
6:58
spicy vegan corn I think I'm gonna try
7:01
that oh dang that looks that looks
7:02
pretty good it's all a lot of lot of
7:04
stuff just piled up on on top of there
7:06
served in I thought this was gonna be
7:07
like an actual dish but it's a paper
7:09
plate that resembles a dish might be
7:15
onions on the tippy top of it
7:25
often they're like the following
7:25
coughing and sneezing and maintain
7:28
visible distance thank you for your
7:30
cooperation
7:35
some sort of sauce like smeared on the
7:35
bottom of it and after
7:43
definitely has a little little kick
7:43
a cast member just recommended an
7:45
all-new mac-and-cheese down at the
7:46
festival center i like mac and cheese
7:48
seeing all these empty tables goes
7:49
pretty much against everything I've ever
7:51
known about food and wine before just so
7:53
unusual from the past the booth over in
7:55
Spain is not open
7:57
Italy is however and the line is not too
7:59
long where they have an Italian flatbed
8:01
with tomato sauce and other options I do
8:03
have to pace myself however because I
8:04
get full really quick these days I've
8:06
been eating very light portion so this
8:07
is this is a little more than I have
8:09
been consuming this recently kind of
8:11
wondering how much I've lost but I gotta
8:12
weigh myself to get back home to
8:14
California on my scale I'm also hearing
8:19
that frou she is that has been
8:20
eliminated from the Japan stand this
8:22
year I always loved this pavilion quite
8:24
a bit really really cool they do have
8:26
frothy ramen and something called a
8:28
sushi flowerpot however at the moment
8:30
they're just waiting for anyone to come
8:32
over and purchase some food such a
8:33
unique experience during these times I
8:35
can't tell if the Morocco stand is
8:37
closed or if there's just no one over
8:39
there at the moment it's just no one in
8:42
line now I love when the parks are empty
8:44
and the wait times are short but even
8:46
these festivals in this manner are is a
8:47
little bit it's different are you gonna
8:49
swing in here now get some of that mac
8:51
and cheese I've heard so much about and
8:53
it's sheltered from the elements that's
8:54
about to rain
9:01
and plenty of AC in here plenty of AC in
9:01
here okay it seems to be this is where
9:03
everyone's kind of camped out the
9:05
gourmet mac and cheese line there's also
9:07
a lobster version and a just a regular
9:09
version and this is what we're dealing
9:12
with I went with the lobster mac and
9:15
cheese macaroni and cheese looking like
9:18
it has a little topping on top of a
9:20
little crusty type of item on top kind
9:23
of peppered on there I also might have
9:26
missed it but didn't notice a calorie
9:27
count on any of I haven't really been
9:29
counting calories but I would guess I'm
9:31
probably doing about less than 1500 a
9:34
day over the last few weeks so this
9:35
probably exceeded that mmm I can really
9:39
taste the lobster wow this is delicious
9:42
I haven't had too much stuff at these
9:45
festivals I didn't enjoy hello
9:53
hi Austin thank you
9:53
you could really fall into temptation
9:56
when it comes to eating now here and as
10:00
I take my last bite I kind of wish I
10:02
would have had the camera pointed this
10:04
way for the duration of there's a piano
10:07
over here and they're playing some some
10:09
songs as I stood in there watching her
10:11
perform the songs from Mary Poppins when
10:13
she went in to feed the birds let me
10:15
tell you right I kind of got a little
10:17
bit choked up that was that was amazing
10:20
as far as food goes I'm pretty much done
10:22
but there is a there is a special
10:24
beverage treat I want to get as well
10:25
it's located here at the citrus blossom
10:27
stand the orange bird cream shake served
10:30
in a souvenir super cup probably not
10:32
part of my weight loss plan but I got
10:34
myself something to take home had my eye
10:35
on this for quite some time and finally
10:38
now own it I can put it in my backpack I
10:41
put it in my suitcase I should say you
10:43
hear the Thunder rumbling don't have the
10:45
magnets this version magnet that they
10:47
haven't produced yet but I got the
10:49
zipper the best option would have been
10:50
to to see what was hidden this
10:52
beforehand I know it is non-alcoholic
10:55
and you just take the straw go into its
10:58
noggin very creamy very icy it's almost
11:03
like it's almost like a 50/50 almost
11:06
like a creamsicle walk over to another
11:08
spot keep in mind just yesterday or the
11:11
day before they to reiterate they
11:13
announced you cannot drink and eat and
11:15
walk at the same time so I have to just
11:18
hold have my covering on get to my spot
11:21
and then remove it and then consume the
11:24
real question is who should be in the
11:26
forefront Orangeburg or that iconic
11:30
sphere back there late today is all so
11:32
I'm gonna go ahead and get some of this
11:34
new Epcot merch as well yeah maybe I
11:37
think I'm gonna go
11:37
might go with this one here all right I
11:39
changed my mind I'm going with this also
11:41
met up with my friends again they've
11:42
been they've been doing other things you
11:44
take this you think this this is my
11:45
style here last take it works I'm gonna
11:50
do the loop around with you guys too
11:51
I've already done one but I'm gonna go
11:52
again
11:53
I go full loop I'll watch you we have
11:56
already eaten enough but I can always I
11:58
can always live vicariously that's right
12:00
I'm not dieting like you you're doing
12:02
you're doing some good stuff and this is
12:04
a smaller size I'll go with the XL as
12:06
opposed to the double X and this gift
12:08
shop here which normally has stuff out
12:09
is is also nothing to put out yet is
12:11
still sitting here empty at the moment
12:51
I believe Mike is gonna get the frothy
12:51
ramen I don't think it was what he
12:53
expected I thought I think he imagined
12:56
it being a piping warm meal and he said
12:59
it was icy cold and had a something on
13:01
on the top of it there and said he
13:04
probably would not get it again maybe he
13:07
knew ahead of time that it wasn't gonna
13:09
be served warm he would have been
13:12
prepared wouldn't get that oh yeah no I
13:13
mean I'm sure if it was warm it would be
13:15
delicious some things like I said should
13:17
be warm the wait time for Soren stated
13:20
25 minutes but in fact it was just a
13:22
walk-on only about maybe five minutes
13:24
tops before we were in and sitting on
13:26
