they aren't kidding they already knocked
0:35
on the door and called a couple times
0:37
it's currently 10 18 time to roll I was
0:41
kind of hoping to extend this by an hour
0:44
too because I cannot cannot arrive to
0:47
the next hotel until 3 p.m. a little
0:51
seating area down there pretty nice here
1:01
there's a really good chance I'll stay
1:01
here again in the future
1:02
usually I stay at my parents place and
1:06
st. cloud may visit Central Florida but
1:08
during these times kind of decided just
1:12
to get my own accommodations but would
1:16
would return to this establishment I
1:19
really liked it the name of the place is
1:22
Wyndham Cypress Palms got a pretty good
1:25
deal state seven days didn't see
1:29
housekeeping once they never they never
1:32
entered the room which in all honesty I
1:34
really like that not too far from this
1:37
gentleman the wizard I always enjoy
1:42
seeing this big orange also in the
1:45
neighborhood a little time has passed
1:47
now ten minutes to two p.m. and it's
1:52
raining that's usual for Central Florida
1:55
summers around this time frame and just
1:59
like that it stopped current time 2:04
2:08
this is pretty dang cool never stayed
2:08
here before looking forward to this in
2:12
fact I've never booked a room anywhere
2:14
on wdw property now I visited friends
2:18
who have done so
2:21
but I've never Oh sky lining up their
2:24
air conditioned rooms nice and as with
2:29
all the resorts got to go through the
2:31
checkpoint show me a reservation that
2:33
was rather seamless just show your
2:36
reservation and your ID and you're in I
2:41
guess I should probably do the online
2:43
check-in so I know where to park and
2:45
which section I'm gonna be staying at so
2:48
I'm gonna pull over and do that now
2:51
this looks so awesome it can all be done
2:55
on the my Disney experience app after
2:57
purchase staying total of two checking
3:01
in today and then out on the morning of
3:04
the 13th current time is 213 so I'm
3:06
putting 2:30 and it says before 3:00
3:11
p.m. your room might not be ready but
3:13
I'm just gonna give it a give it a try
3:16
okay it's not working I had to create a
3:19
PIN number says go directly to your room
3:21
everything's approved and I can use my
3:24
magic band to go in the room door don't
3:29
really know the layout of the land so
3:31
much but I believe it is set up
3:33
according to decades
3:41
I'm hope I hope I parked in the right
3:41
area
3:49
find out when I get up here and as of
3:49
this very moment there's only a couple
3:50
on-site resorts that's why I decided to
3:55
do this they're not all this there's a
3:57
heck of a lot of Walt Disney World
3:59
properties you can stay out this is only
4:02
one of maybe two three or four
4:09
for those rain clouds formulating I got
4:09
this is a whole new thing for me
4:11
I say I say that many accommodations in
4:15
my day many many hotels motels but never
4:23
never
4:25
by my own accord stayed on property here
4:29
in Central Florida I have done so today
4:32
at the Disneyland Hotel for the opening
4:34
of galaxies edge in Anaheim not here in
4:38
Florida first time for everything goes
4:40
from the 90s to the 80s oh look at the
4:43
retro 8-bit 80s there the 70s
4:47
of course the 60s and the 50s this is
4:51
the classic Paul I'm going to dip into
4:54
there for a moment bus transportation is
4:57
quite operational
5:01
they show you to get anywhere
5:12
through that section and over here place
5:12
called petals which is a little little
5:15
drink stand and I believe I'm going to
5:19
be staying right over in those there's a
5:22
pool area and I see balu a very wah-wah
5:26
a very large Balu figure kind of
5:29
towering over there it's as far out next
5:33
to him this is really cool
5:36
the temporary airbrush tattoos station
5:39
is closed and that wind is really
5:42
kicking up just a bit yes I'm staying in
5:47
the 60s
5:49
area you can see the 6-0 there that's
5:55
where my accommodations will be a
5:56
general overview so I made the right
5:59
choice in where I was parking guests
6:01
check-in parking which is there so I
6:03
just had to walk through the classic
6:05
hall into the courtyard where I'm
6:07
heading now and I will be right down in
6:10
this section here could be due to
6:13
weather could be due to the recent
6:15
circumstances but there is no one in
6:18
here in the pool at this at this moment
6:22
for one reason or another you see
6:24
everyone over there dancing very very
6:26
groovy yeah wonder why there's no one
6:30
swimming it must be because of the
6:31
lightning there is lightning in the area
6:33
at this time can you dig it
6:36
oh yes I can dig it oh goodness you
6:39
would have a field day utilizing that yo
6:42
yeah there's a bowling pin over there oh
6:46
look at this okay this is I love ping
6:49
pong but I'll see any ping pong paddles
6:51
nor do I have a partner at the moment to
6:53
play a riveting game of ping pong with
6:55
but I fancy myself as a bit of a ping
6:59
pong player I'm not good but I enjoy I
7:02
enjoy the game even though it's been a
7:04
few years
7:04
just ask the lifeguards and they said
7:07
yes the pool is open just currently due
7:09
to the inclement ation of the weather
7:11
they are not this is a that Play Doh
7:15
container
7:17
an elephant and a giraffe up there the
7:20
modeling compound
7:35
I passed by passed by my room just to
7:35
showcase the skyliner that's right over
7:38
here it says currently not operating
7:40
operating or operating we apologize for
7:44
the inconvenience please use the bus
7:46
stop that classic hall
7:52
there they are over there swaying in the
7:52
breeze this will take you to Epcot and
7:58
Hollywood studios if they were moving
8:02
and if an epic odd in Hollywood studios
8:05
as it right now we're open which they're
8:07
currently as of this date are not
8:24
I love this transportation system it's
8:24
so fluid and quick
8:30
I do love the monorail and the buses
8:30
serve a purpose but the sky liner is
8:35
next level it gets you around with the
8:37
greatest of ease very quickly on the
8:41
15th Epcot opens and I will not be
8:44
staying at this resort on that timeframe
8:48
but if I was would I be able to board
8:58
one of these pods and make my way over
8:58
staying right here you can see the
9:02
Bicentennial building another one of
9:05
those large yo-yos really kind of
9:12
changed the game when it comes to
9:13
getting to the parks some of these other
9:16
properties took a little while to get
9:18
over there but now that this has been
9:21
constructed get there in a matter of
9:24
moments it shares a shoreline with this
9:26
body of water with yet another place
9:30
right over here which at the moment does
9:34
not have rooms available as far as I
9:36
know hourglass Lake whoo look at that
9:41
cloud don't quote me on that but I think
9:46
this is called hourglass Lake know a lot
9:52
about the parks been going to the theme
9:54
parks all four of them here at Walt
9:58
Disney well for a long time the resort's
10:00
haven't always been my forte
10:02
that is something I am kind of a work in
10:04
progress of learning a learning curve
10:07
and progress starting to starting to
10:10
write gotta get moving quick and one
10:12
other neat fact about this you really do
10:15
get to know the properties better just
10:18
by cruising over them with a bird's-eye
10:19
view by taking this by taking this
10:22
around a lot different than ground level
10:42
okay just to confirm just to confirm
10:42
hourglass Lake it's about to come down
10:45
it's gonna it's about to unleash I'm
10:49
going in my room I took a little too
10:51
much time standing there get that much
10:55
needed much needed angle and now I have
11:00
to hide under under this overhang
11:16
whoa you can go up inside the stairwell
11:16
of the yo-yo
11:37
something I never knew I would get
11:37
excited about
12:08
I'm in nice accommodations got a
12:08
queen-size bed here and another not
12:12
going to be needed but it folds out
12:13
there above the table and then you got a
12:18
television old charging station for the
12:23
phones and other other items a remote
12:26
that has been cleaned it's labeled right
12:29
there and that little plastic sleeve as
12:33
well as some information about some of
12:37
the other precautions they have been
12:38
taking it was this a light what if that
12:42
light turns on I'm sure what that is you
12:47
got the coffee maker over here got some
12:51
cups a refrigerator oh you a see-through
12:56
door refrigerator some other information
13:00
here on the side featuring Jiminy
13:05
Cricket and a room occupied says we're
13:11
off to Neverland if you have a little
13:13
snooze fest later retro looking chairs
13:25
yeah not bad oh there's me I decided to
13:25
wear my recently purchased skyline or
13:29
t-shirt I figured it just made sense to
13:33
have this on and a staple of staying at
13:39
the resorts the h2o soup an ironing
13:43
board you got some tissues there extra
13:48
toilet paper a place to perch your
13:51
clothing and then the shower right over
13:57
here
13:58
very nice
14:10
this is neat
14:10
way that slides
14:32
I love it that's it
14:32
two nights two nights I will be here
14:41
one other thing the door is not a
14:41
traditional closing style door you slide
14:44
it like so
14:56
not bad for just me Oh an entire family
14:56
in here it might be tight quarters but
14:59
for me it's more than enough gotta have
15:03
the the additional add-ons to the coffee
15:07
I'm going to be utilizing this at some
15:11
point got my umbrella out I'm gonna kind
15:15
of wander around the rest of the premise
15:17
us see what I can see might not need it
15:19
for that long uh seems to be subsiding I
15:21
really like the Magic Band entry
15:25
availability it's very simple just tap
15:29
it and walk on them when you see a an
15:31
8-track that is the size of a
15:34
three-story building you know you are in
15:36
the 70s section and you got goofy over
15:41
here with his surfboard always got a
15:44
little sports car here gonna take a
15:45
stroll well not a stroll but a cruise
15:49
maybe yet maybe a quick speeds with his
15:53
fancy sports car there holy cow look at
15:57
the size of that Mickey Mouse telephone
15:58
and that big window
16:00
I kind of feel like I'm in Honey I
16:02
Shrunk the Kids right now Rick Moranis
16:03
was over me with a magnifying glass
16:06
looking down upon me it would not be
16:08
shocking oversized foosball is that the
16:11
name of this foosball court on the back
16:13
of the 8-track cassette they have the
16:15
track listings it's kind of hidden away
16:17
around the backside here got the 80s and
16:20
the 90s 1980s documented with this
16:23
Rubik's Cube the 90s with a cell phone
16:26
there on the end 1985 is a special year
16:29
for me probably my favorite year from
16:31
that decade or maybe even my entire life
16:34
life one of my favorite movies Back to
16:36
the Future came out Nintendo
16:37
Entertainment System yeah it was it was
16:41
a good year for me I was 11 years old a
16:42
formidable time frame in my life so this
16:46
era is this who I think no freakin way
16:50
it is it is it is Roger Rabbit right
16:52
there on the another thing of turpentine
16:54
turpentine on of them believable for
16:59

another Rubik's Cube here and mr. and
17:22
mrs. Potato Head over there I didn't
17:25
really look to see prior to booking if I
17:29
could pick which which one I was at but
17:31
I didn't notice anyone staying at the
17:33
80s possibly maybe even not at the 90s
17:35
maybe they are routing everyone over to
17:38
the 60s and 70s the good thing is
17:40
they're all so close you know just a few
17:43
yards from each other so you can kind of
17:45
wander the premises and get some good
17:47
photos and take in some nostalgia and as
17:51
I walk along the years progress stating
17:54
some factual info from the signage that
17:59
was 86
18:00
this says 1988 fax phones are 1295
18:05
dollars and a laptop five thousand three
18:08
hundred and ninety nine dollars some
18:12
squirrels up there
