welcome everyone adam the woo here
0:03
listen closely
0:10
you can hear the church bells
0:10
ringing in the morning
0:14
off in the distance i am at the
0:16
threshold of water street
0:18
and market street
0:26
my new town the new town i have moved to
0:26
and a celebration i feel
0:30
is in order if you see what i did there
0:33
i'm going to traverse from here
0:34
see the travel time and distance
0:37
to disney springs because i kind of want
0:40
to see
0:41
how far i am from there and the sky
0:44
looks as if it could be a good day to
0:47
ride a balloon
0:49
that goes way up in the air above the
0:51
springs so i'm gonna do that and just
0:52
see
0:53
whatever else i can and get into
0:56
inviting you to join me shall you i know
1:00
i need to learn some other coffee shops
1:01
around this area but for
1:03
for now starbucks it is my go-to piping
1:06
hot beverage this month has been the
1:08
caramel brule latte and i like how
1:10
there's all these seeding arrangements
1:11
out here by the lake
1:13
just having a little moment here on the
1:14
bench beforehand the fountain down in
1:17
the distance the birds are chirping
1:20
taking a couple of sips of caffeinated
1:27
goodness
1:27
that's good i'm in no rush it's taking
1:30
my time
1:32
notice how those palm trees are running
1:35
parallel
1:36
to the pylons there at the theater
1:41
slightly obscuring
1:44
the view but still blending in nicely
1:48
there are a number of reasons i like
1:49
this area but one of them very prominent
1:52
is the the buildings the way they look
1:54
very similar kind of gives that old
1:56
hollywood feel
1:57
here on the east coast i'll point out a
1:59
couple other ones on the
2:00
way over to springs that i like take a
2:03
look at this
2:04
corridor of trees very beautiful
2:13
very beautiful and classic
2:13
car alert nice
2:17
here's an example of what i was
2:19
referring to yeah just look at the the
2:21
way the building
2:24
the format of it and it wasn't built
2:28
back in the olden days relatively recent
2:31
within the last few decades
2:37
right
2:47
i know because i used to live in
2:47
hollywood so
2:50
that's why i'm thinking that and of
2:52
course maybe one of the most
2:53
retro nostalgic looking mcdonald's i've
2:56
ever seen in my life
2:58
on site and from that point hopped on
3:01
world drive
3:02
in a matter of moments should be to my
3:05
destination
3:07
no theme parks on tap today but i will
3:10
be going on an attraction
3:11
weather permitting looking pretty good
3:14
at the moment
3:16
just about 10 minutes give or take to
3:18
the orange garage and i have received
3:21
been granted clearance oh yes this
3:25
is a good sign a beacon
3:29
if you will i have in about the last
3:32
year or so i have been attempting to go
3:34
on this now i did this maybe two years
3:36
ago or so
3:38
but in the last 12 months that even heck
3:40
16 months
3:42
i have been attempting this on three
3:44
four
3:45
occasions spending most the day
3:49
at the springs and there's another
3:52
balloon looking object right there
3:53
that's planet hollywood
3:54
make no mistake the one on the ground is
3:56
not a balloon it just it's a sphere
3:59
style
4:00
that's the one i'm going to be going up
4:02
in
4:03
very promising to see it up there also
4:06
does not appear to be swaying too much
4:09
the wind
4:10
sometimes is the culprit for this thing
4:12
not operating
4:14
and the rain and the thunderstorms etc
4:17
but it looks pretty steady it'd even be
4:20
more amazing if there wasn't much of a
4:21
wait time in the line to purchase a
4:23
ticket
4:24
maybe i could also celebrate with a
4:25
tasty beverly up on the coca-cola
4:27
rooftop
4:28
you know what i've done that i've been
4:29
there done that i'm gonna pass on the
4:31
beverly but just
4:32
just just a thought process i am not
4:34
even going to delay
4:36
a moment just in case it stops but as
4:39
for now
4:39
it is rising and the ticket booth is
4:43
open look at it they're towering above
4:45
the treetops
4:46
it is either three or four hundred feet
4:48
i can't remember off the top of my head
4:50
that that is elevated up there three or
4:52
four hundred feet give or take
4:54
that one's staying put this one
4:58
however is a movement okay it's now yeah
5:02
you can see okay it is definitely
5:04
swaying a little more from this angle i
5:05
can see it swaying a bit more
5:07
than i could from the parking structure
5:08
there's a little bit of a gusty wind but
5:10
there's not a cloud
5:12
in the sky pretty dang exciting it's
5:14
finally
5:16
gonna happen one group is exiting and
5:19
i'm about to enter
5:22
this for so many times this year i've
5:25
stood right over there
5:26
wishing i could board this and and it
5:28
now it's it's
5:29
it's taking place there used to be a big
5:32
pineapple there over on the shoreline
5:34
but that has been
5:35
removed there's the house of blues water
5:37
tower
5:38
and going on like i got the hello
5:41
oh yeah there you go have fun i recall
5:45
this
5:45
as characters and flight in fact it
5:47
might have been characters in flight a
5:49
couple years ago
5:50
when i went on it but now it is titled
5:52
arrow file
5:54
arrow file and go on right there's the
5:58
right coming up you're gonna be over
6:00

6:15
hold on to the hand rails that you have
6:17
in front of you or behind you okay we're
6:19
gonna start going out slowly
6:21
we are gonna move a little bit while we
6:22
go up i'm gonna lift dangerously and not
6:25
hold on
6:27
okay this thing is starting to you know
6:30
what i think i might
6:31
i might grab a
6:38
i have clamped on with the hand see
6:38
there is this mechanism here
6:40
that pulls up onto it okay starting to
6:43
make some noises
6:44
and you can see the gears
6:58
okay we are now airborne by about 6 12
6:58
37 inches give or take an estimate
7:02
my own estimation now in the past
7:06
i recall you could walk around a circle
7:08
but you cannot walk pretty much this is
7:10
going to be the spot
7:11
that i'm going to be stanchioned in
7:13
through the
7:14
through the entire deal it does not go
7:16
in the 360 fashion now the wind blows
7:18
really you know the wind blows really
7:21
briskly
7:22
might be able to but what's here
7:30
here's the first one at normal speed
7:30
oh good is this okay this isn't hot air
7:33
it keeps calling this a hot air balloon
7:35
but it's not welcome to feral kyle i'm
7:38
glad i'm gonna be your pilot
7:40
guys i'm gonna take you to good altitude
7:41
you're gonna see some of the disney
7:43
properties kissimmee
7:44
all the way to downtown orlando we're
7:47
going to have a lot of the disney
7:48
properties over here to the west to my
7:50
left
7:52
so let's be clear the three level you're
7:54
going to see the contemporaries
7:56
and to the left line search below the
7:58
swarm and dolphin hotel
8:01
after that while it was video yeah
8:03
towards the back animal kingdom
8:04
expedition everest
8:06
oh nice which way celebration from here
8:11
um
8:12
following here i four see here this
8:15
hotel that's the gay laurel palm
8:17
okay so on that section a little bit
8:18
more to the right okay
8:26
okay there's the orange garage that i
8:26
parked in right there
8:27
celebration off in the distance way
8:29
behind
8:31
the gateway palms
8:37
kind of zooming in on some of the other
8:37
items
8:38
playing at hollywood there and panting
8:41
up
8:42
go looking at some of the the lakes off
8:44
in the distance
8:46
this is away from the theme parks
8:54
oh it is gusting oh there's downtown
8:54
over there
8:55
yeah way over there you can see the
8:58
skyline of downtown orlando
9:00
oh there's the orlando eye ferris wheel
9:02
now called icon orlando
9:05
whatever you do don't look down
9:09
i'm not able to go around the circle so
9:12
i'm kind of having to make the best of
9:14
it have to stay in my spot
9:16
there's spaceship earth right over there
9:19
oh yeah
9:20
and he said something about the kid oh
9:22
yeah contemporary
9:24
way over there you can kind of sort of
9:27
see the hollywood tower
9:30
uh studios i would imagine this is
9:33
helium
9:35
helium balloon not hot air
9:48
such a great view wow there's the
9:48
paddlefish
9:50
rainforest cafe world of disney dinosaur
10:02
former adventurers club which has a new
10:02
name
10:03
they they tore down the adventurous club
10:05
and replaced it
10:06
the boathouse dining establishment down
10:10
there
10:16
this runoff helium you see one of the
10:16
largest feather heavier blue rides
10:18
around the world
10:19
right now our largest balloon is in
10:21
puebla mexico
10:22
okay but it is larger because of the
10:25
altitude uh
10:26
should carry the similar amount of
10:27
people
10:29
i used to have one of these in pigeon
10:30
forge tennessee that i wrote but they
10:32
removed that one
10:44
said it's one of the largest or is the
10:44
largest
10:46
helium balloon wow
10:49
look at the little river down there fun
10:52
fact back in 91
10:55
i attended the grand opening of planet
10:57
hollywood
10:58
right down there there used to be a kind
11:00
of a cartoony dinosaur gift shop right
11:03
over there near the fountain
11:04
i recall that very very well and
11:07
pleasure island which is
11:09
the middle portion of what disney
11:12
springs
11:14
is now called right there when i was 17
11:17
i used to always think man when i'm 18
11:19
years old i will be able to gain
11:21
accessibility
11:25
to pleasure island that seems like so
11:29
it was a long time ago there oh my gosh
11:31
it's shaking
11:33
there it is the wind is the wind is a
11:36
little bit dusty
11:37
you can see look at my hair here my hair
11:40
has some static electricity
11:43
could be because i didn't brush it
11:46
correctly or it could be
11:47
that the helium is pulling it in like a
11:50
tractor beam
11:51
that's a possibility right maybe
11:54
tractor beam here
12:01
one thing i always fear with this is if
12:01
the one
12:01
rope it's a steel mechanism it's a steel
12:05
rope if that were to snap what would
12:07
happen would we just
12:09
keep going up into the stratosphere and
12:12
then once you hit a certain altitude
12:14
with the balloon decompress and then
12:18
these are thoughts that i have i mean i
12:20
am not
12:21
i'm completely not at ease with this
12:24
this is something that is slightly
12:26
frightening
12:27
but fun and
12:30
i accomplished my goal i'm back on the
12:33
aerofoil
12:34
formerly characters and flight what's
12:37
happening
12:38
is that steel rope is being pulled down
12:42
to that compass and that's what's
12:45
that's what's pulling it down you can
12:48
see the shadow there
12:51
of the ride vehicle the little circle
12:53
with circular item
12:54
and that was the bird's eye view of
12:56
disney springs
12:59
i love it so good
13:02
cost was 20 dollars there was no annual
13:06
pass holder discount
13:08
no ap discount
13:17
not a bad deal oh we're going in we're
13:17
going in there's me there's my shadow
13:18
right there i'm waving oh look at this
13:20
thing swaying see it's swaying
13:22
let's go in we're gonna do a little
13:23
clamp down going down slow looking i'm
13:26
gripping you can see my shadow i'm
13:27
gripping onto this
13:29
okay go go go pull in there a little
13:32
dolly so it's not a dolly it's like uh
13:36
here was the bump here comes the bump on
13:38
those wheels
13:40
all right guys thank you for flying with
13:42
us today i hope you guys are gonna ask
13:43
you to come around
13:48
the distancing makes it you can't really
13:52
everything you have to stay in your spot
13:54
i had to stay on number seven
13:57
now spraying everything down they have
13:58
the distancing
14:00
markers here along the ground now if you
14:03
want to see the theme parks
14:04
they had a good view of springs you want
14:06
to see the theme parks here
14:08
one i hope for number three or number
14:10
two
14:11
because often that distance was epcot
14:14
studios
14:15
animal kingdom and the likes of that
14:19
pretty neat and this is where this is
14:21
where all the
14:22
the magic happens the last one off
14:27
going that way pretty cool
14:30
he is tidying everything up cleaning it
14:35
yeah looks like they have oh they're
14:36
doing the outside as well
14:38
taking care of the procedures
14:45
oh man that was a lot of fun and really
14:46
honestly it's not that scary it's doable
14:48
thank you
14:50
you're welcome from this perspective it
14:52
looks so tiny but in reality it's not
14:55
tiny at all
14:56
over there walking a bit around the
14:58
property just so you can see what it
14:59
looks like from different perspective
15:01
here it is from way over near the pin
15:02
trading store
15:03
yeah for real it's really not that bad i
15:06
promise
15:06
i think i think you could do it i think
15:08
you can accomplish it
15:10
i mean it's it's a you know it's a
15:12
little scary at first but then again
15:14
so are you to those unbeknownst people
15:17
might walk up and say
15:18
that is a that is a frightening
15:20
crocodile slashed
15:22
alligator but in reality you're not
15:24
you're not so bad it's just like just
15:26
like the balloon
15:27
you know from from afar it looks like it
15:29
would be something that would be you
15:30
know
15:30
slightly on the it'll give you a panic
15:34
a little bit of panic going on but it's
15:36
not
15:37
are you did you fall asleep i know i'm
15:39
kind of long-winded and talking a little
15:40
too much
15:41
just let me know if you're awake and you
15:42
heard everything i said
15:45
did you hear anything okay
15:48
all right well i'll put you to sleep i
15:50
have a
15:52
hypnotizing voice i suppose or you're
15:54
just i'm boring you
15:56
probably probably the latter of the two
16:00
okay alligator oh you have some coins on
16:01
your nose
16:03
you have a penny and a nickel on your
16:06
nose
16:07
all right i'm gonna see you later if you
16:08
get a chance go open the blue by the way
16:10
it's not hot air
16:13
i'm full of hot air right now oh yeah so
16:15
you agree with that
16:16
i'm the one with the hot air still not a
16:18
cloud in the sky i'm heading back up
16:20
into the parking structure now
16:22
while i was down there i had i had
16:24
forgotten but then realized after seeing
16:26
that gideon's bake house
16:28
had their grand opening today it was a
16:30
three-hour wait so got a pass on that
16:32
and it totally slipped my mind but then
16:35
again this gentleman it probably also he
16:36
probably also forgot he seems to be
16:38
taking a nap
16:39
after returning back to celebration i
16:42
had to take my jacket off the the sun
16:44
involved in this section
16:46
this is shrouded by shade but the sun
16:49
has come out and started to permeate
16:51
heat is starting to
16:52
to warm up thanks a bit so i took off
16:54
the epcot center jacket that i've been
16:56
wearing
16:57
pretty much for the last couple weeks
16:58
it's been a little cooler in central
16:59
florida
17:00
but today it started off cool and now
17:02
it's a little warmer
17:04
