there's going to be quite a bit of
1:59
orange bir bird goodness at this
2:01
Festival usually get a lot of figment
2:03
and orange bird when it comes to Epcot
2:06
and I'm probably going to end up getting
2:07
some pens for my pen board I like
2:09
collecting pens testing date stamped
2:10
event
2:18
pens right
2:18
Bob my Tiki collection is coming along
2:21
my friend Tiki J out in California gave
2:23
me this a while back pretty dang awesome
2:25
this is the tiki mug that John Ritter is
2:28
drinking out of in that iconic Threes
2:31
Company episode where he gets a little
2:34
loopy is that
2:36
cool TIY under the
2:40
archway going under the
2:42
archway it's a song we call it
2:47
Epcot that was about the best Walt I can
2:50
do that's a statement he
2:52
made stop 7-Eleven on the way in I do
2:56
like joffre's coffee but it's a lot
2:58
smaller joffre are about half H 3/4 the
3:00
size of I always like a good large
3:02
coffee and I know Starbucks over by
3:04
World celebration Gardens is going to be
3:06
so busy and 7-Eleven coffee is pretty
3:09
dang
3:15
good get caffeinated
3:15
first I could take the tram
3:19
or I could just hoof it that's not that
3:22
far I'm going to walk now I've heard
3:23
there's a ton of new snacks today again
3:26
I've been trying to eat a little
3:28
healthier do things a little bit
3:30
different no fried food no
3:33
sodas and no dessert so I'm trying to go
3:35
with some Savory items and the reason
3:37
I'm kind of like stalling here is
3:38
because the Montreal is about to go by
3:40
so I'm not really going to focus too
3:42
much on the food even I might have one
3:43
or two options but I'm not going to go
3:46
too wild on the food try to make little
3:54
changes just want to check out the vibe
3:54
when I think flower and garden festival
3:56
I think of a few things I think of the
3:57
butterfly tent I also want to try to see
3:59
Winnie the Pooh or maybe one of the
4:00
other characters catching butterflies
4:02
over by the journey to imagination
4:05
Pavilion but also topiary overload
4:08
starting off with the ones in front of
4:09
spaceship earth which change every time
4:12
kind of excited to to see the layout of
4:15
the different ones and if there's going
4:16
to be any new ones not only in front of
4:18
spaceship earth but also in front of
4:20
world celebration Gardens which is the
4:22
new area that open H that has the Walt
4:24
Disney sculpture Walt the dreamer statue
4:27
topiaries all scattered into new areas
4:30
nice to have the new land over I don't
4:32
think this is my the new area is not my
4:34
favorite but it's it's all right you
4:35

4:38
space when you're cutting over from Club
4:41
cool or over towards test track towards
4:44
the land that middle section behind but
4:46
not the back side of water but the back
4:47

4:50

4:53
topiary overload all right I got to say
4:56

5:49
I'm trying to try to watch it in the
5:50
next week or two I've heard kind of
5:52
mixed reviews on it all right there's
5:53
definitely a big Congregation of people
5:56
over inside of here to get the the new
5:58
merch you got the spirit spirit jersey
6:00
here I'm not really a big spirit jersey
6:03
guy but I do like little plushes and I
6:04
do like little orange bird right here so
6:07
you got the orange bird but then you got
6:09
also this take a look at this all right
6:11
these are awesome this is not just a
6:13
little mug but you can do fresh squeeze
6:15
OJ in there you take the orange stick it
6:18
on there and you Slither it around until
6:20
you get the fresh squeeze OJ this is
6:22
very tempting this is
6:24
$24.99 that would be pretty cool I might
6:27
have to buy one of these at some point
6:28
during the the 10 of this event right
6:30
here and I always say flower and garden
6:33
festival is technically the Epcot
6:34
International flower and garden festival
6:36
2024 limit two per guest while supplies
6:41
last once the supplies are out you can
6:43
buy more than two per guest if once the
6:45
supplies are gone there there's no two
6:47
rule anymore I was trying to make a joke
6:49
out of that but it really didn't make
6:50
sense this almost looks like a pin right
6:52
here right in the middle of the ears the
6:53
ears are so cute this is like a candle
6:55
holder no it's like a little got a
6:57
little light down in there and there's
6:59
also these which looks like a little
7:01
orange juice jar right here kind of like
7:03
a milk jug but it's not for milk it's
7:05
for orange juice and it has the orange
7:07
bird on it all right this may or may not
7:09
be a cutting board can't tell yeah I
7:11
think it's a cutting board right there
7:13
as well we got mini over here which is
7:15
another one of the icons of the event so
7:17
we got mini and we got orange bird so
7:19
far I think last year it was Snow White
7:22
and maybe figment I think it was Snow
7:24
White in another character this would be
7:26
a deep Rabbit Hole to go down these
7:28
little trash cans I hav't started
7:29
collecting these trash cans yet but they
7:31
are pretty neat and I've also been kind
7:33
of leaning towards more not Hawaiian
7:34
shirts but more like Aloha style shirts
7:37
cuz like you know it's not called a
7:38
Hawaiian shirt yeah aoha yeah you know
7:41
the reason for that because shirt
7:44
Hawaii I think we talked about that
7:46
before we did but this is by a guy
7:48
called rain Spooner okay it's a nice
7:51
high-end I like it a low hot shirt the
7:54
only thing that I don't like is this
7:55
part right here you don't like date
7:57
stamp stuff I don't like that you just
8:00
yeah I want it to be like classic got no
8:03
date Define does the State of Florida
8:06
still Embrace orange bird or is it just
8:09
technically Disney now I feel like
8:11
Disney they bought the rights yeah
8:13

8:14
shirt to on next time yeah you like this
8:16

8:39

8:42

not moving the greenhouse mixtape and
20:15
then there's there's Groot I guess the
20:17
actual Groot isn't a topiary a topiary
20:20
would just be the base there and then
20:22
the foliage around the mixtape all right
20:24
got The Lion King topiaries over here
20:27
these have been out before but totally
20:28
different spots a lot of things shifted
20:30
in different areas than they were in
20:32
previous years oh yeah for example check
20:34
it out there's Timone and Pumba over
20:35

20:37
where the figment opiary usually is but

20:51
butterfly Landing that's what they're
20:53
calling it got all the different stages
20:55
there The larva and all there's a
20:57
butterfly right down there that kind of
20:58
almost looks like a almost moth like
21:01
that butterfly and I've also noticed on
21:02
opening day you don't see quite as many
21:04
butterflies there one flying by but as
21:06
the season goes on you'll see more and
21:08
more butterflies in here as they are
21:10

21:12
them fluttering around in here there
21:13

21:20
little perched butterfly right here with

21:27
get to land your hand yeah now right
21:29
over there is Woody and Bo Peep you
21:32
can't go that way to get to world
21:33
showcase all that is Walled off this is
21:35
where they had the art paint by number
21:36
art wall during the last Festival but
21:39
you can't go that way so just to give
21:41
correspondence there's journey to
21:42
imagination of those B Peep and Woody
21:45
you can't go that way you have to circle
21:47
around and from this angle right here on
21:48
the little Waterway you can see the
21:50
floating flower oh there's a there's a
21:52
goofy topi area over there looks like
21:54
goofy is like smelling the flow not sto
21:56
and smelling the Roses over there I
21:58
didn't realize it have walked down that
21:59
path instead the path I'm on I'm kind of
22:01
zoomed in but you can see goofy leaning
22:02
over there smelling the flowers all
22:05
right here's encanta so this was the one
22:07
that was in front of spaceship earth
22:08
last year now they have it at the
22:10
entryway into
22:11
into World Showcase as
22:16
well she sings one of the best songs in
22:18
the whole
22:19
movie got to get a little uh little
22:22
selfie
22:23
style them all right here very nice that
22:27
sure definitely pops out definitely pops
22:29
when you're looking on the camera on it
22:30
very bright you can definitely see me
22:31
coming a mile away all right finally
22:34
making my way now into World Showcase
22:36
start going in on the Mexico Pavilion
22:38
side and going to do the loop see what I
22:41
can see possibly try another treat or
22:42
two or snack I should say food option I
22:45
to call it a treat but food option as
22:47
I'm walking around I got the staves
22:48
church over there The Stave church over
22:50
there but here is the TR the troll was
22:52
moved over here now where the Barn Santa
22:55
usually performs during Festival the
22:56
holidays will stay here and now there's
22:59
a topiary troll which usually is right
23:01
over on the other side of the church on
23:03
the entrance into frozen Ever After but
23:05
now the trolls here waving hello get a
23:07
little friendly trolls it's always good
23:09
to see friendly trolls there there are
23:10
some all right so this is normally where
23:12
the troll is this is the an and Elsa
23:15
little top here this is usually where
23:16
the troll is also I should probably
23:17
break this out and start looking at some
23:19
of the stuff this the festival passport
23:21
passport of course starts today right
23:23
there if I want a hot dog review I'm
23:24
going to go with the hot dog guy I refer
23:27
to you what what's your Instagram it's
23:28
hot dogs at Disney hot dogs at Disney
23:30
and you take photos of hot dogs all over
23:33
the park all over the parks I don't have
23:34
YouTube yet it's strictly Instagram
23:36
photos of hot dogs at Disney you got you
23:39
got a A whole Bush down there a bush of
23:41
hot dogs yeah I think that's a technical
23:43
term uh the genus and species is did you
23:46
try anything here at the at the festival
23:48
yeah so the pineapple promade has a
23:50
spicy hot dog I think this is like the
23:52
fifth year they've had it and I've had
23:54
it every single year of the park uh
23:56
festival and it's terrible every time so
23:59
that's your
24:00
revieww it's terrible so imagine every
24:04
year I go back and I try to again to
24:06
give another chance it's like if there's
24:08
a bad movie and a franchise you like you
24:10
go back and rewatch it thinking like
24:12
it's going to be good this time like
24:14
will Lethal Weapon four be good this
24:15
time and you give it another shot and
24:18
it's not good oh over here at the Lotus
24:20
house they have a spicy chicken skewer
24:22
maybe I should get maybe I could get
24:24
that that' probably be all right all
24:26
right this is where what we're dealing
24:28
with again chicken skewer right here
24:31
which looks pretty good so got another
24:33
danani this was not room
24:35
temperature but chicken skewer looks
24:37
like it's got some chives on it and some
24:40
little seeds and some
24:42
sauce There we go little chicken skewer
24:44
action and I must say it is getting warm
24:47
this is the warmest day at least in the
24:50
last couple months that I think here in
24:52
Central Florida it's not hot by anym but
24:53
yeah it's it's warm and it wouldn't be a
24:55
proper festival with food oh bubbles
24:57
coming by bubbles coming by if you
24:59
weren't eating on a trash can we're over
25:01
here at the bamboo area these little
25:04
bamboo trees over here in front of the
25:06
China Pavilion getting out of the is
25:08
this like the warmest day in Florida
25:09
that's been in a while right yeah
25:11
Summer's here now it feels like it's not
25:13
even spring yet spring isn't for two
25:14
more weeks at least we got our we got
25:17
our water to keep us uh keep us hydrated
25:20
this look pretty good all right going in
25:21
we get some little umbrellas oh we could
25:23
buy the uh parasols they call them over
25:26
there here we go going in
25:32
the sauce is weird sauce I don't like
25:32
the sauce don't like sauce I don't like
25:35
this sauce it's very tart it's like a
25:37
tart not tart tur sauce but it's a tart
25:40
sauce all right I figured out what it
25:41
was it is a creamy peanut sauce spicy
25:45
Mala chicken skewer with creamy peanut
25:47
sauce that's why it has that taste I
25:50
didn't love it I didn't love it it's
25:51
just the Lotus it was good the chicken
25:52
was good all right got Snow White and
25:54
Dopey over on this side and over on the
25:56

29:03
wearing but I've heard good things about
29:04
the spicy chicken gumbo with a sausage
29:07
and long grain rice I think I'm going to
29:08
get that Gary you got to get something
29:10

29:13
the uh the bread
29:15

29:21
to go with the gumbo I heard a couple
29:22
people say the gumbo is pretty good all
29:23
right that Sun Sun is up there
29:26
permeating down found a nice little
29:28
shade spot over here on the back side of
29:30
American Adventure I also went with the
29:32
Panini also I with the gumbo and I saw
29:35
the Panini and uh saw what the Panini
29:38

29:40
Panini muff muff
29:44
mafada like moradell like it's it's an
29:47
Orleans sandwich I've had the version
29:49
over at Port Orleans uh French Quarter
29:52
really and it's it's good but I've never
29:54
been in the Orleans to have the real
29:55
deal Okay so so I can't tell just much
29:59
like the Cubano I've never had a real
30:01
one to tell if it's good so that's what
30:02
you got that's what I got that's what I
30:03
got a bunch of lunch me and come
30:06
all it's like a deli sandwich
30:14
yep like if norleans had a hogy this
30:14
would be it the size of
30:18
pooy how much was this I think they were
30:21
both 625 that's a good deal for that
30:25
yeah I think i' would rather get this to
30:27
paid twice as much for that lobster tail
30:29
I'd rather get two of these now for the
30:31
gumbo that's pretty good amount of gumbo

Montreal yet it's coming all right it's

Adam he's on his last leg he's on his

last
38:13

38:15
odds of the Montreal coming by sometime

very good very good all right fair

enough

it sounds like an alarm of sorts like an
38:29
alarm for the monreal I'm just going to
