3:43
nice oh that is a beautiful thing it's
3:47
like spaceship earth is all lit up red
3:49
and
3:50
white a moment all right first thing I'm
3:53
noticing other than the crowds they're
3:54
playing top 40 music in here I guess
3:56
there's a DJ somewhere so it's kind of
3:57
got like a Six Flags vibe I don't really
4:00
know I don't know yeah it's uh I mean it
4:02
is New Year's but yeah yeah I don't know
4:04
I don't like it all right over here in
4:05
the pen Trading Store underneath
4:07
spaceship earth doesn't look like
4:08
there's a whole heck of a lot of pens
4:09
left in here there's a couple for 24
4:11
like there's this Stitch one right here
4:14
I think I'm going to get two of these
4:16
and I'll keep one get one for myself and
4:18
then I'll do one for a
4:20
giveaway I ended up getting two more
4:23

4:47
to you no questions asked
4:49
so this was pretty cool I I bought one
4:52
for myself and one for the giveaway so
4:54
yeah all right the music's all over the
4:56
front entrance of the park I'm kind of
4:58
wondering where the DJ set up yeah
5:00
literally every inch of the park when
5:01
you're walking in is just very
5:03
obnoxiously loud music all right in the
5:06
time frame I was waiting for my joff's
5:07
peppermint latte hot ended up being
5:10
serated by Lady Gaga the weekend even a
5:13
song that said I need to put my hands up
5:15
cuz the city can't hold us and here's
5:17
some of the 2024 merch I'm not really
5:19
sure what putting my hands up will do
5:21
make any difference but I've been told
5:22
to put my hands up about eight times
5:24
already in the probably 20 minutes I've
5:26
been in here got some 24 merch over here
5:28
Lounge FL I still have not figured out
5:30
where the DJ is per se but I will
5:33
discover that before oh what's this here
5:36
okay that's not that's not 24 Merk but
5:37
this is here it's actually pretty quiet
5:39
in here in the connections or what
5:41
former Mouse gears whatever it's called
5:44
now that's a nice little water water
5:45
holder there 24 got the plush Mickey's
5:48
here with the 2024 shirts on as well has
5:51
a 18-wheeler truck here and then a
5:53
miniature version of the truck oh
5:56
actually that's a that's a van it's like
5:57
a transportation van oh look at these
5:59
like kind of like '90s throwback straws
6:02
right there retro straws and in
6:04
baseballs and if you're so inclined to
6:06
wear some ears here for the countdown
6:08
into 2024 they have those they have
6:12
those as well what is a soap
6:14
dispenser right there t-shirt even a
6:17
picture frame if you want to document it
6:19
for posterity oh and then over here's
6:22
even some more I got a lot of 24 merch a
6:24
nice uh collared button- down shirt
6:27
little hat right there
6:31
all right heading back out into the
6:33
madness if you will all right going to
6:35
make my way this direction and
6:38
eventually into World Showcase see what
6:40
it's like back there all right looks
6:42
like living with the land is back up 25
6:44
check a look over here 145 minutes for
6:48
for test track 55 now people are
6:50
starting to to come flood in here let's
6:52
see is rat no to he's still down I was
6:55
thinking maybe I could Escape into a
6:57
ride look at that 45 I think maybe I
7:01
could Escape into a ride but I don't
7:03
know not if I'm really I'm not
7:05
personally really digging the vibe I
7:06
don't know what I was expecting but I
7:08
didn't think it was going to be like DJs
7:10
around the entire park all right still
7:12
have not found the DJ yet but one
7:14
thing's for sure it is a complete mad
7:16
house out here walking through the UK
7:19
Pavilion they're having a silent dance
7:21
party over here which is kind of
7:23
interesting cuz the rest of World
7:24
Showcase is not silent it is very very
7:26
loud but it's kind of interesting
7:27
they're doing a silent thing over here
7:28
all right that's kind of a neat idea I
7:30
guess everybody has headphones on over
7:32
here that's kind of that's kind of cool
7:34
I kind of like kind of like that idea
7:35
there's a long line over there so yeah
7:38
this is it's full on Party Zone Party
7:41
Zone has moved away from Club the former
7:44
Club cool and is now completely taken
7:46
over all all of our all right I really
7:49
like this I like so like look at this
7:51
everybody everyone's so like you're
7:53
anything you're hearing is in the
7:54
background around the world showcase
7:56
Loop but no there's no music being p
7:59
where they where'd he go he jumped out
8:00
oh he's over there so basically he's
8:02
talking anybody that can hear him has to
8:03
have these headphones on that's a that's
8:06
a pretty dang cool
8:10
idea all right is that that's
8:15
cool very very lengthy line to try to
8:18
get a spot in there though but that
8:19
seems like it'd be worth it if you want
8:21
to dance it up with your own set of
8:23
headphones on that's a neat idea that I
8:26
think that I think that's pretty dang
8:27
awesome and I can assure you there is no
8:31
way in hell I'm making it to midnight
8:33
yeah if you want to drink it up or party
8:35
or dance the night away this is the
8:37
place but my thought is you can pretty
8:39
much have this in an empty parking lot
8:40
and be the same Vibe does not even feel
8:43
like I'm at help right now all right
8:45
here is a DJ but I don't think this is
8:47
the DJ that's pumping the music to the
8:49
rest of the park I don't think it is
8:50
anyway I can't tell all right continuing
8:52
my loop around World Showcase here
8:54
towards the American Pavilion American
8:56
Adventure Pavilion yeah this is the most
8:58
miserable I've ever been at Epcot Center
9:00
and trust me I love Epcot Center but it
9:04
feels nothing like Epcot at all it's
9:06
just basically a drunken party I mean
9:09
it's New Year I get it it's my own fault
9:11
but wow at least I can say that I did it
9:14
however at least I could say I did New
9:16
Year's at Epcot at least once
9:19
right all right over here look like they
9:21
got another DJ over here tucked away in
9:24
this corner over there I can wow look at
9:26
that there's a whole stage set up
9:27
welcome to co Ella again I get it it is
9:31
New Year's but I was thinking it was I
9:32
just I personally thought there was
9:34
going to be a lighter blog lighter not
9:36
blog a lighter uh look they got the got
9:39
some uh lightsabers right there there
9:41
going to be a lighter mood and then
9:43
maybe towards midnight they would be
9:44
pumping it out it's only like 9:00 yeah
9:47
the Germany Pavilion is definitely
9:49
kicking over here the beer line all
9:50
right over here at China they got a
9:52
whole stage fog lights everything kick
9:55
it's like a whole Rave experimental
9:57
prototype community of Tomorrow presents
9:59
Skrillex yeah this is
10:02
literally hell for me but I am
10:05
progressing all the way around World
10:07
Showcase and I'm going to get the heck
10:08
I'm going to get out of here all right
10:10
continuing through this oh yeah the
10:12
greatest balloon ever
10:20
exit Red Sox game all right almost to
10:20
the entrance exit every inch of this
10:24
place is a dance party for one night
10:26
only Epcot turns into Six Flags Crossing
10:29
spaceship earth going past the very
10:31
beautiful spires up here again I still
10:34
never figured out where the main DJ was
10:36
is pumping the music into here but I'm
10:38
not going to eveny attempt to find them
10:40
getting serenad by a remix of Adele as I
10:42
exit out
10:44
not I it is what it is New Year's I can
10:49
definitely see the appeal if it is the
10:51
type of event you want to go to but I
10:53
don't really I can't separate what was
10:55
going on in there something you would
10:57
have at like Oldtown or or a carnival or
11:02
uh Citywide fireworks on the lakefront
11:05
kind of thing yeah I don't know I just
11:08
wasn't what I
11:09
expected definitely was not what I
11:11
expected but at least I can say I did it
11:14
wow that was absolutely the most
11:17
miserable experience I've ever had
11:19
inside my one of my all-time favorite
11:21
theme parks of all
11:22
time again it's New Year's preface that
11:26
but I don't know what I was expecting
11:27
wow I was thinking maybe the last hour
11:30
they would be doing stuff like that but
11:31
it's like it's 9:00 and to play kind of
11:33
Devil's Advocate with my thoughts I
11:35
guess if you're want something
11:37
completely different than what normally
11:39
takes place inside the theme park then
11:42
this would be your event so I can kind
11:44
of see that side of it but just from my
11:47
perspective in my own opinion so if
11:50
you're kind of like kind of like me and
11:53
don't really want this type of thing
11:54
happening just expect it all night early
11:58
on on even leading up way before New
12:01
Year so it's every inch the entire
12:04
property is pretty much engulfed looking
12:07
back on it I probably should have just
12:09
arrived at like 11:00 p.m. cuz I know
12:12
the fireworks show is going to be insane
12:15
around the Lagoon they're going to do
12:17
the the New Year's tag which is really
12:19
really
12:26
great I know the holiday tag the New
12:26
Year's tag is going to be spectacular
12:29
but I am not going to wait 3 hours for
12:31
it and if the wait times were a little
12:33
shorter if I can possibly you know go on
12:36
an kind of Escape it but there is no
12:38
Escape in that that is you're going all
12:41
in when it comes to the New Year's party
12:43
Zone at Epcot if you choose and Magic
12:45
Kingdom's kind of the same way I thought
12:47
maybe Epcot would be a little mellower
12:49
move but holy cow I think they take it
12:50
up a notch from what Magic Kingdom even
12:53
as so I think what I'm going to do now
12:55
is I'm going to go through the
12:56
drive-thru at Del Taco and I'm going to
12:58
go home
13:00
home and watch a movie that's how I'm
13:03
going to ring in the New Year and I can
13:04
assure you this will be my last New
13:05
Year's Eve at a Disney park that is just
13:10
not my cup of
13:11
tea not my
13:14
vibe at 1 a.m. morning gosh I can't even
13:18
imagine staying till midnight in
13:20
there I mean I really don't even like
13:22
Epcot at night anyway the whole drinking
13:24
around the world thing and world
13:26
showcase at
13:27
night
13:36
and that's going to do it for today
13:36
happy New Year remember I'm doing the
13:39
pin giveaway over on my Instagram happy
13:42

13:43

14:08
that everyone is going to agree with my
14:09
sentiments on the event I know a lot of
14:11
people probably really enjoy it just
14:14
giving you my perspective and just
14:15
giving you what it could be like if
14:18
maybe you're on my wavelength and you
14:19
didn't know what to expect on New Year's
14:21
Eve at Epcot that is what you will see
14:26
at
14:27
Epcot
14:37
again love this theme park I think it
14:37
might be my favorite Studios used to be
14:39
but I think
14:40
Epcot literally the greatest
14:43
Park man I do love magic in my
14:45
Disneyland too but
14:46
yeah that looks pretty beautiful it
14:48
looks better from out here than it does
14:50
in there
