0:02
a recording of this it is about six
0:04
minutes until 9 00 pm on monday
0:06
september 13
0:08
2021 and you can see
0:11
there are a few vehicles leaving
0:13
the disneyland resort parking structure
0:16
mickey and friends
0:17
but i have just arrived for a little
0:20
late night last hour
0:22
experience
0:24
i thought it would be interesting to see
0:26
how the crowds are on a monday evening
0:28
as the recording of this
0:30
post fireworks
0:32
and i'm gonna watch the fireworks
0:34
from the top top floor
0:36
of the parking structure i'm inviting
0:38
you to join me and then i'm gonna head
0:39
into walt's original magic kingdom
0:41
join me
0:43
shall you see some vehicles leaving down
0:45
there the fireworks will begin
0:46
momentarily at 9 00 pm
0:49
at 11 up there's another car going by
0:52
everyone that's exiting will become more
0:55
proficient
0:56
after the fireworks but the park does
0:59
not close until
1:00
11 by the way i'm standing
1:02
kind of leaning over these very thorn
1:05
ridden
1:06
little branches here on this plant
1:09
a little prickly
1:15
but yeah you just see how many how many
1:15
cars are exiting
1:17
my plan is
1:19
you know after the fireworks are over i
1:21
think this will increase dramatically
1:22
and wait times will drop considerably
1:26
and because i have a magic key i booked
1:28
a reservation
1:29
fun fact
1:31
you can
1:32
you cannot
1:38
whoa there's a race going on down there
1:38
fun fact you cannot you cannot
1:41
get rid of your reservation for a magic
1:43
key day up you have to do within 24
1:45
hours so i was kind of stuck with it and
1:48
there's a penalty i don't know what the
1:49
penalty is so i said heck it i'm heading
1:51
down there and going gonna lean over
1:53
these thorns watch the fireworks
1:56
and go in the park that's what i'm doing
1:58
and just to show the wait times two
1:59
hours before close
2:01
autopia five minutes which is one of the
2:03
ones i want to go on
2:05
matterhorn only 10 minutes which i would
2:08
like to go on and jungle cruises on my
2:10
radar also
2:12
jungle cruise pirates is 10 minutes but
2:14
jungle cruise
2:15
only five
2:18
yeah i don't think that's going to get
2:19
any greater than that even after by the
2:22
way big thunder mountain down is down
2:24
for refurbishment does appear to be a
2:27
little on the windy side this evening
2:30
the fireworks might be postponed or just
2:33
done away with altogether
2:35
so might not be able to add that into
2:37
the experience
2:39
you can see all the cars exiting over
2:40
there the fireworks
2:42
should
2:44
be right up there in the sky
2:47
but they're not happening it's a little
2:48
too windy
2:49
one thing about disneyland
2:51
versus walt disney world disney world
2:53
rarely will not have the fireworks show
2:55
but here there are so many residents
2:58
just off site in the neighborhoods
3:00
a block or so away that they can't take
3:02
any chances with us wendy all right
3:04
current time as of right now
3:06
907 they are doing the light show
3:09
however they got the
3:11
the light beams projecting up into the
3:14
air
3:14
as well that's the next best thing
3:19
oh check it out they're even doing the
3:21
fire effects over there
3:23
okay yeah so it's just happening without
3:25
the fireworks in the sky but the show is
3:27
going on
3:28
on main street
3:29
there's the matterhorn off to the side
3:31
yeah i'm going to be going on matterhorn
3:33
look at it there in all its
3:34
nighttime glory
3:36
now the trams are not working so i'm
3:38
going to have to walk the tram route to
3:39
get to the park but you can see no one
3:41
else is heading down the escalator
3:43
everyone's going up the other way back
3:45
to their cars to exit but i'm not i'm
3:47
going see this is this is the look
3:49
behind me going up see no one no one on
3:52
the escalator put me i'm heading in just
3:55
getting over to the tram route to start
3:56
walking in is quite the task they
3:58
reroute you under the structure over
4:00
here to go through the checkpoint and
4:02
then in yeah it's uh you get your steps
4:04
in
4:04
just a word of warning you definitely
4:06
get your steps in walking the tram rig
4:08
decided just to go ahead and walk up to
4:10
the second level to the walkway bridge
4:11
and over
4:12
and go through downtown disney instead i
4:15
wish i could tell you this was this was
4:16
a short easy progress
4:19
process
4:20
but it's a test and patience without the
4:21
trams
4:22
it takes a while i'll tell you what time
4:24
i finally get to into the gate 9 35
4:28
walking very briskly i think i left the
4:30
structure at about seven minutes past
4:32
nine and i walked pretty quick so that's
4:34
about the time frame to walk over from
4:36
the structure through downtown disney
4:38
and enter into disneyland yeah
4:41
and i walk pretty quick just a heads up
4:43
but one thing's for sure i will not be
4:45
waiting very long on all the attractions
4:48
anything that's less than ten or five
4:50
minutes
4:51
i'm gonna hit up and as you can see
4:54
everyone is just kind of flooding out
4:56
towards the exit down main street usa a
4:59
few people heading in towards the castle
5:01
but most are heading outward back
5:03
towards their cars and toward the exits
5:05
everyone's leaving put me i'm going in
5:07
as of right now there's not a whole heck
5:09
of a lot of people in line for astro
5:11
orbiter i think i'm gonna go do a couple
5:13
other things and head back over here a
5:14
little bit later all right at 9 48 i'm
5:17
going to get into 9 48 p.m i'm gonna get
5:19
in the single rider line the space
5:22
mountains in all honesty though i
5:24
probably could have just got in the
5:25
regular queue seasonally moving pretty
5:27
quick probably would have waited the
5:28
same there was three people in front of
5:30
me in the single rider but that line up
5:32
there yeah look you can just see it's
5:33
moving very very quickly so it's
5:35
probably about the same time frank but
5:36
you know just i went ahead and walked
5:38
down the single rider path anyway i'm
5:40
about to abort and check it out there's
5:42
no one sitting next to me i have my own
5:44
seat
5:44
next to no one that's pretty cool all
5:47
right going down
5:52
oh dang that was thrilling i think i
5:52
like this one better than the florida
5:54
version and all i don't know i think i
5:57
version just putting that out there it's
5:58
not quite as rough okay i need to about
6:01
to exit moving forward and about to exit
6:04
not a long wait at all
6:06
it is now 10 p.m one hour till close i
6:09
have exactly 60 minutes to get in as
6:12
many rides and attractions
6:14
as i can with low wait times now i do
6:16
not hear harold the yeti up there or
6:19
anyone
6:20
screaming and yelling with the
6:23
the ride vehicles going by
6:25
dang i wonder if matterhorn is closed
6:27
right now
6:29
what the heck
6:30
yeah that really that throws my plans
6:32
for a little bit of a loop there if
6:34
they're just uh
6:36
just sitting there oh i here
6:38
oh i see some workers up top the ride is
6:42
broken down dang this is down
6:45
matterhorn is down for refurb
6:52
still other stuff but yeah these are the
6:52
two of my favorites
6:53
matterhorn and yes to remove them big
6:55
thunder mountain railroad looks pretty
6:57
neat all illuminated over here though
6:59
doesn't it they're kind of the ride
7:00
vehicles are just hiding there lurking
7:02
in the shadows you can see the cast
7:04
members are still out but yeah no one's
7:06
getting on it
7:07
now you can faintly see in the darkness
7:09
there the autopia vehicles going by i
7:12
was gonna board one of the autopia cars
7:15
however
7:16
fun fact at 10 p.m
7:19
one hour before close they only had one
7:22
lane
7:23
open so even though there was probably
7:25
only 30 40 people in line well probably
7:28
like more like 40 people in line it
7:29
would have taken
7:30
a little longer because they're only
7:32
boarding the one lane of cars
7:34
might pop back over here just a little
7:35
bit later but i didn't want that to take
7:37
up the majority of the last hour
7:41
oh they're making an announcement at
7:42
matterhorn
7:48
they just made an announcement
7:48
they were over the intercom i heard them
7:49
say something
7:50
don't believe this is going to pop back
7:52
up tonight
7:54
it's already
7:55
9 minutes after 10. now here's something
7:57
i haven't done in a while gadgets go
7:59
coaster yeah they're having a riveting
8:01
time on that oh i'm going i am the only
8:03
one on this look at this i am the only
8:06
i am the only one on this entire coaster
8:10
there's
8:26
one thing i am noticing about this last
8:26
hour however there are less ride
8:29
vehicles operating so it does take a
8:31
little bit longer
8:32
to get on some of the attractions
8:35
just keep that in mind the herd is out
8:37
tonight
8:48
she's been in that shower for a very
8:48
long time
8:50
you can tell because of all the wrinkles
9:03
i was just kidding
9:03
that was some dry humor for you now
9:05
serious schweitzer falls named for the
9:08
famous explorer
9:09
dr albert calls
9:16
we're gonna go over that later
9:16
oh no i feel like what are you doing
9:19
you are supposed to stay in the boat
9:42
eighth wonder of the world the amazing
9:42
stupendous backside of the water
9:53
as we approach the dock stay seated keep
9:53
all those hands on keep the legs inside
9:55
the boat all right i do believe i can
9:56
get on astro orbiter and then autopia i
9:59
think it might work out oh yeah
10:01
literally no weight at all walked right
10:03
on this sat down and it blasted off
10:06
this is always a good time
10:10
way up top castle in the background
10:12
pretty nice nice little breeze weather's
10:14
nice low 60s doesn't get much better
10:17
than this
10:18
it doesn't get much better than this
10:20
walk on no wait time just
10:23
sit in the rocket and
10:25
blast off to the heavens
10:28
doing a circle around main street over
10:30
there and of course the castle
10:33
this is nice i'm getting a little dizzy
10:34
though after this i'm going to
10:36
scurriedly walk over to autopia and
10:39
that'll probably be the last the last
10:40
attraction of the night
10:42
yes
10:43
it is risk up here which it's using it's
10:46
been pretty warm during the day but
10:47
right now there's a little nice little
10:48
breeze on my face wind in my hair
10:51
nice
10:53
90 seconds
10:54
yeah it's only a minute and a half
10:57
ride through on that sometimes you're in
10:59
the line for like five to ten twenty
11:01
times as long as the as the ride itself
11:04
it's only 90 seconds it do i hear harold
11:07
up there is matterhorn running
11:10
this could be a miracle
11:11
oh yeah
11:12
i managed to get the front seat
11:16
front seat
11:25
front seat nighttime ride through
11:25
oh it's dark in here
11:28
all right
11:32
there it goes
11:32
here it goes
11:34
at the front
11:36
oh
11:36
this is nice oh my god
11:50
oh this is very rough
11:50
oh my gosh
11:52
this is so i think it's rougher than
11:54
that dark
11:59
my god
12:04
oh goodness
12:04
oh wow it is oh wow oh wow
12:12
chiropractor needed
12:22
i can smell harold i know he's around
12:22
i know that yeti it's nearby i know he's
12:24
near there he is
12:37
the real question is can i get off this
12:37
and walk briskly
12:44
over to autopia in time only have a
12:44
couple minutes
12:45
before 11.
12:50
oh i made it
12:50
i think i can do it i am really glad
12:52
that reopened
13:00
just in time before chloe
13:00
you hear harold up there
13:02
he is not happy
13:04
well maybe he's just misunderstood
13:07
okay i'm going over to tomorrowland
13:09
autopia time and you can see i'm not the
13:11
only one now i'm not i'm not running i'm
13:12
just walking briskly but yeah everyone's
13:14
kind of wants to get over to whatever
13:16
they're going i'm probably heading to
13:17
space space mountain i'm going over this
13:19
way and just with a couple moments to
13:21
spare four minutes to be exact
13:24
heading on oh yeah there is no one on
13:26
this is gonna be just like a walk up
13:27
walk right on sit in the vehicle and off
13:30
i go nice in fact they're bringing my
13:32
own personalized vehicle up here i'm
13:34
gonna be right here in this one oh yeah
13:36
nice delivery
13:38
off i go
13:46
a night time just before close
13:46
pretty dang nice
13:48
in all honesty hello hello astronaut
13:50
right there next to a vehicle just now
13:53
i'm kind of sitting over on this side
13:54
steering and have my wheel on the
13:56
accelerator at the same time i have a
13:59
soft spot not only for autopia but also
14:02
tomorrowland speedway and wdw i don't
14:05
know which one i prefer better this one
14:06
seems to be a little bit
14:08
the the track layout is a little bit
14:11
more kind of zigzaggy and
14:14
winds a little more than just the the
14:17
normal kind of circle figure eight style
14:20
over at wdw so i probably would go with
14:22
this one but i like both of them
14:25
both of them have the monorail view it's
14:27
a monorail right now
14:29
here at disneyland is not quite
14:31
operational
14:33
but normally you see the monorail going
14:34
by
14:35
as well there is no one
14:37
on this track but me i think i might be
14:39
the last one
14:41
last one on this attraction yeah am i
14:44
the last one am i the last car
14:46
am i the last car
14:49
i could be
14:51
what if they forget about me what have i
14:53
forgotten about out here on the open
14:55
freeway on the open road
14:58
probably not going to be forgotten about
15:00
i maybe though i could be i could be
15:02
stuck in here after after hours after
15:04
dark until i run out of gas
15:06
or till i run out of fuel look there's
15:09
no one that way
15:10
just that astronaut over there with his
15:12
vehicle that's like either broken down
15:14
or stuck nonetheless
15:16
there's no one else
15:18
on autopia
15:20
this is the only time that i've been the
15:23
last one
15:24
on autopia this is great not racing
15:28
anyone in fact i'm holding my camera
15:30
with one hand i'm steering with my
15:32
kneecap right now so you can see my
15:35
kneecap is doing the steering
15:37
and going through here oh it just i
15:38
don't know what
15:45
am i the last one on here
15:45
i couldn't tell she said yes or not but
15:46
i think she may have nodded yes and the
15:48
last one on here and there i was just on
15:50
that i didn't think i was gonna make it
15:52
over here i had to well i thought i was
15:54
going to make it over here
15:55
but if something would have happened
15:56
along the way if i would have got a shin
15:59
splint or maybe a leg cramp i might not
16:01
have made it
16:02
but i did it
16:04
you pull through leg
16:06
i think i might be losing it a little
16:08
bit right now
16:10
at this hour
16:11
you don't stay up late
16:13
i have lately though because it's been
16:14
hot season
16:15
and those events run late so i was just
16:17
i'm kind of on the different schedule
16:19
than i normally am even though i get up
16:21
early i usually never stay up this late
16:24
there's the monorail track right there
16:26
oh look at that look how that kind of
16:27
dips down
16:29
to ground level i never noticed that
16:31
before well this is the people mover
16:33
track
16:34
wait is that the people moving track i
16:36
think that's the former people mover
16:38
all right i gotta get in they're
16:39
probably waiting on me they're saying
16:40
come on in adam we're waiting on you
16:43
we're ready to call we're ready to go
16:44
home i'm the last one on here the last
16:46
guest right that close i walked on
16:50
three minutes before 11. oh whoa whoa
16:53
whoa we got to back up all right i'm not
16:55
the last one on every there are guests
16:57
in all these vehicles
16:59
i don't feel so bad there's still like
17:00
maybe a dozen cars waiting to deboard
17:04
and then head up to the park exit of
17:06
course main street's open an hour after
17:08
close open till midnight the emporium
17:10
and all that for future reference if you
17:12
want to stay a little bit later you
17:14
don't have to leave right at close you
17:15
can do some shopping if the mood hits
17:18
yeah i'm just waiting patiently i'm
17:20
gonna pull up just a little bit though
17:21
i'm gonna pull up right here on the
17:22
bumper of this one it just feels right
17:24
check out the license plate on that one
17:26
the license plate says space
17:29
77 look at that you get up a little bit
17:32
closer there
17:34
space 77 they all have different license
17:36
plates now it does take a little time to
17:38
deboard because they are putting the
17:40
cars away as the guests are exiting so a
17:43
couple guests will exit and then they
17:45
will put those cars away the cast member
17:47
will get kind of put the foot on the
17:50
accelerator and put the car away so it's
17:52
taking a little longer to get through
17:54
this process that's fine though i can
17:56
sit here all night why not a little
17:58
power there's a
18:01
how many horsepowers are in this thing
18:02
but
18:03
i'll be more than four
18:06
or maybe five
18:07
i know nothing about horsepower
18:24
yeah see over here all of these lines
18:24
and lanes have been stopped for a while
18:26
this has been the one lane for the last
18:28
hour and a half all right we're going in
18:30
again
18:32
thank you
18:33
pulling into
18:35
the station
18:45
now notice since there are no guests the
18:45
cast members have to take the cars and
18:48
put them away because no guests are
18:49
boarding it takes a little bit longer to
18:51
move all the cars up they stand on the
18:53
side but they're we put their foot on
18:55
the accelerator and take the cars to the
18:57
front before everyone else can pull into
18:59
the into the port or into the station
19:02
here pretty neat to see closing
19:04
procedures things you don't usually see
19:05
