i don't have to check out until 11 00
2:15
tomorrow i'm inviting you to join me
2:19
as this golf cart goes by
2:26
shall you looks to be some sort of fire
2:26
pit theming there and this is a very
2:28
expansive and beautiful entrance is it
2:31
not wow
2:32
yeah this you could pull up here either
2:33
for valet or to check in
2:35
i chose self parking but wow
2:39
upon stepping in here i really am amazed
2:42
with
2:43
the grandeur and detail of this place
2:46
just the lobby itself which just so
2:47
happens to be relatively empty is very
2:50
very well
2:51
themed which is to be expected but they
2:53
kind of
2:54
they went the extra mile if you ask me
2:56
with some of the items in here and the
2:58
carvings the rock work
3:00
the detail and all the little nooks and
3:02
crannies all throughout the lobby so i
3:05
haven't been to the room yet
3:07
they are preparing that as i speak also
3:10
stepping outside
3:11
and kind of walking over towards to see
3:13
some of the animals that here
3:15
are here in the well we really say it's
3:18
a courtyard
3:19
but here in the in the open section with
3:22
the rooms all around it
3:24
not sure what my room will be if i will
3:26
have one with the view of the animals
3:28
but here you know here's a few just kind
3:30
of scattered along the
3:32
the plains of animal kingdom lodge
3:35
at 2 36 they alerted me that my room is
3:38
ready i was trying to get a view of that
3:40
there goes there was a there was a
3:42
lizard down there but it scurried off
3:44
didn't bring too much just stay in one
3:46
night check out as little as that 11 a.m
3:49
so i don't need too much i did try to
3:51
get a savannah
3:52
room that's what it's called where the
3:54
animals are for the specific room
3:56
that i requested and reserved there are
3:59
a couple of
4:00
savannah ones for that but they were not
4:02
available tonight so i have no
4:04
view from my room going up to the fifth
4:07
floor
4:08
well i wonder if i can go in that since
4:09
i am dvc
4:11
can i go in that club level room there's
4:13
a very
4:14
hazy mirror here look on the haze i
4:16
think that's part of the theming now
4:18
oh yeah stepped out on this little
4:20
veranda here onto the
4:21
lanai if you will i guess you could call
4:24
it a a porch
4:25
overlooking the pool down there there's
4:28
also another little
4:29
natural waterway that is completely
4:30
blocked by the shade
4:32
wow they're not messing around when it
4:34
comes to locking this this uh
4:36
secret club up i gotta walk i don't see
4:38
any hidden mickeys
4:40
along the floor here there's got to be
4:42
some hidden mickeys in here
4:44
right there's a vacuum cleaner
4:48
it's not what i'm looking for cleverly
4:50
disguised
4:51
the the peephole is right there see the
4:54
peepholes at the top of that
4:56
top of that shield
5:03
and do not need a key all i need is my
5:03
magic band
5:04
and now let the room
5:07
tour begin i'm not sure if that's how
5:10
i should say tour tour the room
5:14
tour now there is another there could be
5:18
other guests on this other side so you
5:19
could get it with an attached door
5:22
if you had a bigger party and as far as
5:25
the kitchen goes
5:26
we got some cabinets here we got oh we
5:29
have a little theming there
5:30
along the side we got some dish soap
5:34
we have a sink of course coffee maker
5:37
not a keurig and not the type of coffee
5:40
maker that the value resorts have
5:42
this is a full size 12 cup coffee maker
5:45
with oh yeah look at that joffrey's
5:49
don't mind if i do and what's behind it
5:53
a little decaf yeah you can keep the
5:56
decaf i'll go with the
5:58
caffeinated for a piping hot caffeinated
6:00
beverage
6:01
a little toaster here we're not little
6:03
but it's a good sized toaster
6:05
got the bucket for the ice a
6:08
microwave and then up top
6:12
we have some plates some cutlery
6:23
and the coaster that's what i was
6:23
looking for the cups all right down
6:26
there
6:26
a mini fridge well just one fridge
6:29
there's not many of them but it's
6:30
miniature
6:31
fridge as well keep everything
6:35
nice and cool then over here we got some
6:38
towels and with every disney resort
6:42
you have the h2o plus sea salt
6:46
honestly i think the sea salt out of all
6:48
of them
6:49
is my favorite i just really like the
6:51
sea salt
6:52
there's some facial soap got two sinks
6:56
i only need one it's just me in here but
6:58
if i had a guest they would have
7:00
a secondary sink with their own rolled
7:03
up towels
7:05
as well a mirror here
7:08
and into plenty of room in here it's
7:12
kind of neat it's separate from
7:14
the restroom area too so you're not
7:16
getting in
7:17
anyone's way
7:29
very nice got the paper
7:29
tissues you know a while back i didn't
7:32
know what this was
7:33
you pull this across and you connect it
7:36
with the other side
7:37
you put your towels on it a little soap
7:40
holder another one down there
7:45
yeah this is good oh look this is
7:47
different
7:49
it's the same ones but it's a different
7:50
packaging to what i'm used to it's been
7:52
cleaned
7:53
thoroughly cleaned and there's a mirror
7:56
here
7:57
some nice artwork on the walls there
7:58
there's a map
8:00
and then some others over here the bed
8:04
appears to be a queen size
8:07
i'm going to say that's a queen nice
8:09
headboard there
8:11
and decorative backdrop
8:14
behind the headboard i really like any
8:17
room with a ceiling fan
8:18
is a hundred percent better than one
8:20
without a ceiling fan i have to have
8:23
constant flow movement when it goes to
8:26
win so that
8:27
is that right there is a selling point
8:30
for me
8:31
just just my own personal opinion and
8:34
this is kind of
8:35
looking back from the sliding glass door
8:38
got the remote over here which has been
8:40
also thoroughly cleaned the telephone
8:42
some information
8:44
we've got a little drawer here with the
8:47
gideons
8:50
i've left that
8:56
and then over here a little desk two
8:56
people to sit
8:57
oh a nice nice mirror here with their
9:00
own lights
9:01
these two i guess these would be lizards
9:04
on either side
9:06
these two lizards are holding up the
9:08
lamps
9:09
and you know more information about the
9:11
enhanced cleaning
9:12
and if you don't want those lights on
9:14
you just kind of click that little
9:16
mechanism television as well which i
9:19
hardly ever utilize
9:21
tvs really but especially when i'm
9:23
staying
9:24
in the resorts but it's kind of neat
9:25
they have their own channel that
9:27
tells you the park hours what's
9:29
happening you can even get some
9:31
information about dvc
9:32
disney springs there's all kind of all
9:34
kind of channels on there here in the
9:35
resorts
9:37
four different pillows oh you know what
9:39
this is interesting i never checked to
9:41
see but
9:42
is this a pullout
9:45
couch as well it might not be no it is
9:48
this is a pull out couch wow this is a
9:50
good size
9:52
that right there might be larger than
9:55
the bed
9:55
is like lengthwise yeah you could get a
9:58
lot you get a decent amount of people in
10:00
that would pull out there i should pull
10:02
that out just to see how big it is okay
10:04
now that i stated that it appears as if
10:05
it's also
10:06
a queen okay it's like this isn't
10:09
wanting to open what am i not doing
10:10
right
10:11
i'm not doing something right is this
10:12
open this way no that closes that way
10:15
okay this goes there we go
10:18
let's try that
10:27
there we go yeah same size so two queens
10:27
if i had to i had to guess
10:30
this one looks a little more cozy than
10:32
that one but that doesn't look
10:34
too bad either you get four people in
10:35
here for the same price got a place for
10:37
a phone charger and some wall outlets on
10:42
the chest of drawers i used to call it
10:44
chester drawers
10:45
that's the way i always when i was a kid
10:47
i always heard it i think i think really
10:49
it's
10:49
chest of drawers say it fast enough
10:54
and then i know you're wondering what's
10:55
in here there's an
10:57
extra pillow and blanket
11:00
there's also this little rack that you
11:03
can put your luggage on
11:05
there are some plenty of space for coats
11:09
and whatnot an iron a
11:13
what is this right here this is a hair
11:14
dryer and
11:16
safe to say that's where your money goes
11:18
and this
11:19
well your valuables as well as the
11:22
ironing board
11:23
yeah got everything you could need
11:25
everything including the kitchen
11:28
sink which would be this
11:31
please do not throw food or trash into
11:34
the savannah it's a good rule of thumb
11:35
you do not want to harm any of the
11:38
animals also no smoking
11:39
however the sticker is not facing the
11:43
savannah
11:44
let me go out here open the door up this
11:46
is going to be my view before i show it
11:48
though this is
11:49
there's one seat here all the way over
11:51
in the corner there's another seat and a
11:53
table
11:54
all the way over in this corner as well
11:57
you ready for it is my view
12:00
some animalistic vehicles
12:04
down there they are feeding right now
12:06
they are
12:07
they are grazing along the tundra
12:10
of the soil and the foliage
12:14
down there in all reality for the amount
12:17
of points
12:18
that this was this room is amazing even
12:21
without
12:22
a savannah view which you can get with
12:25
this specific valued room i am not
12:29
complaining this i mean i'm just kind of
12:30
joking around about
12:31
how i wish it i wish i didn't have a
12:33
better view however
12:34
for the amount of points that this was
12:36
it was only 11
12:38
dvc points which is 14 dvc points
12:42
less than where i stayed last night
12:45
which
12:46
had a very breathtaking view even though
12:48
it was on the fourth floor and i was
12:49
kind of wishing to be the 15th floor
12:51
but i could see the monorail but this is
12:53
only 11 points
12:55
out of the 150 that i have per year as
12:57
part of my
12:58
dvc membership 11 points that
13:02
is amazing for this room during
13:05
well you consider it like an extended
13:07
spring break spring break
13:08
just ended what a week ago or so all
13:10
right i know this is just temporary for
13:12
the time being but there is a lot
13:14
of the restaurants closed
13:20
they were unavailable there are some
13:20
that are open but yeah
13:23
it's a lot closed you know during this
13:25
this current time frame
13:26
what i'm going to do now is just kind of
13:28
wander around the resort see what else
13:29
there is to see
13:30
go into all the other areas of the
13:32
property
13:34
it's pretty easy to recognize
13:37
when i'm walking anywhere because my
13:39
keys are always
13:40
jingling i took the elevator all the way
13:43
down from the top floor back down to the
13:45
waterfall area
13:46
and if you kind of see it from up here
13:48
when i kind of point the camera upward
13:50
there is the bridge so i was just up
13:52
there inserting the footage as i walked
13:54
along that that
13:55
fifth level over the bridge in fact i
13:58
kind of looked out the
14:00
the expansiveness of the the outside
14:03
area
14:03
and then turned around and looked over
14:06
the lobby and then got myself a selfie
14:08
on the bridge as well a bridge over the
14:10
lobby there is a seating area out here
14:12
as well if you look
14:13
closely over there there is a giraffe
14:16
feeding on some
14:18
some little little little chow well
14:20
they're out there grazing
14:22
that's so cool truly is the animal
14:26
kingdom
14:27
out here on this ledge they have these
14:30
uh this
14:30
but not by these binoculars there's like
14:32
a a device that you could
14:34
zoom in across over there there you see
14:39
there's a zebra and a giraffe
14:42
you can kind of see there it might be
14:44
easier just to use my own camera but i
14:46
have it up to the eye hole
14:48
hello giraffe i see you from way
14:52
over here yep i'm over here
14:55
how's it going this fabble has something
14:58
in its beak
15:00
it could be food could be
15:04
just something it's transporting back to
15:06
its homestead
15:07
i don't know i just dropped it now it's
15:09
picking it back up
15:12
oh we just swallowed it another little
15:14
section that you can walk out onto
15:16
through that door from the main lobby it
15:19
shows some of the rooms that are
15:20
accessible
15:22
and there's some ostrich
15:25
out there and i'm getting my reflection
15:27
off of the side of this glass
15:29
that's pretty neat right with all the
15:32
rooms behind me there and the ostrich
15:34
and i think there was even a zebra back
15:35
that i saw out of my peripheral vision
15:38
here's the zebra
15:40
oh a couple zebras and the lower torso
15:44
of the giraffe
15:52
a lot of zebra over there now that i'm
15:52
noticing
15:54
tucked away in those trees i believe i
15:57
pinpointed where my room is i can see
15:58
the ceiling fan up there spinning around
16:00
and
16:01
i open the shade so it's the the top one
16:04
right up there if i had to guess it'd be
16:05
that one right up there i think that's
16:07
it and
16:09
for reference the disney magical express
16:12
that goes from the airport is still
16:14
running i believe until
16:16
new year's eve don't quote me on that
16:19
but
16:19
yeah from the airport you can get
16:21
dropped off here animal kingdom lodge
16:23
until the end of the year i'm going to
16:24
take this trail now over to
16:26

20:23
just kind of lounging around
20:25
throughout a lot of the afternoon and
20:26
now nightfall
20:28
started to appear and i'm realizing now
20:31
that over there
20:32
in the distance if i look off my balcony
20:34
past the parking lot
20:36
there are some trees and past those
20:37
trees is highway 192
20:40
used to be split in china now it is
20:42
jimmy buffett's margaritaville
20:45
resort those are the lights way
20:49
well not way but just the next property
20:52
over
20:52
so really within eye view
20:55
those lights over there in the distance
20:58
is off
20:59
of disney world property pretty
21:01
interesting i didn't realize that
21:03
until now and out on this balcony
21:06
looking over nighttime views of the pool
21:10
it's a very beautiful evening out here
21:13
central florida
21:14
oh wow didn't even realize this beauty
21:17
underneath here the
21:19
the waterfall and a little bit of a well
21:21
not a waterfall
21:22
a slight waterfall the walkway the
21:24
glistening
21:26
yeah look at this the glistening of the
21:27
water the light
21:29
bubbling up bouncing over onto this rock
21:32
yeah this is so so nice out here and
21:34
peaceful and when it regards to
21:36
this area this is a layout of the land
21:38
this is a map of sorts
21:41
what's that noise also should note
21:44
there's a really nice and expansive
21:45
fitness center over here that no one is
21:47
at i can't really can't really say too
21:48
much though because i'm not in there
21:50
myself and the pool itself is
21:52
is no joke either yeah there's a there's
21:54
a lot of square footage when it comes to
21:55
this pool
21:58
not many lights out into the middle of
22:00
the savannah area
22:01
i would imagine most likely to keep
22:04
everything in its
22:06
somewhat natural type of habitat
22:09
for the animals you want to have a you
22:12
know
22:12
glaring lights all evening
22:26
one of the workers out there
22:26
driving around checking up on things
22:54

22:54
something
23:04
oh yeah look at all those oh wow there's
23:04
a giraffe i see a giraffe over there
23:06
barely can see it hiding in the shadows
23:10
and directly behind where i was standing
23:12
where i am standing
23:14
this neat little lounge walked through
23:16
there earlier
23:18
there's no one in it at the moment well
23:20
someone just walked by
23:21
in the distance but there's no one in
23:23
this very unique lounge with
23:25
all kind of fun little artifacts
23:29
that's going to do it for today
23:38
now when it comes to this dvc

23:49
year and then
23:50
every year there will always be some of
23:52
these peppered in
23:54

23:56
first year

24:00
stays
24:01
in the first year kind of spread out
24:04
they will all be one night
24:06
just to try to get to as many of the
24:09
resources as i can and feature them
24:11

24:14
the future
24:16
i'll stay two and three and four nights
24:18
at some of the spots
24:19
and really soak in the ambiance of each
24:22
of these places
