walking down catella towards the simba
0:07
parking lot
0:09
to gain entry dca is partially opened
0:14
buena vista street open on thursday
0:18
today is sunday that's the recording of
0:20
this
0:21
sunday 8 15 a.m
0:25
give or take a moment welcome everyone
0:27
adam the woo here close enough it was 8
0:29
28 am starting off with a piping
0:33
warm hot coffee beverage that i
0:34
purchased right down there i will most
0:36
likely get another one in starbucks
0:38
in buena vista street once i get in
0:40
there i'm trying out a little bit of
0:42
a hack if you will it is commonly known
0:44
kind of on the
0:46
down low to park on the harbor side you
0:49
can even
0:49
procure a spot at the anaheim hotel
0:51
instead of paying the ten dollars which
0:53
is now
0:54
what will cost you to park over the
0:56
symbol lot
0:58
when you when you go in but a lot of
1:00
annual pass holders and those in the
1:02
know
1:03
will enter through the harbor side and i
1:04
have done that in before but i'm going
1:06
to test out a theory
1:08
that you can walk in the pedestrian
1:10
interest through simba
1:12
interest pedestrian insurance i always
1:14
get that confused
1:20
tongue tied you can go in a half hour
1:20
early maybe 15 minutes early before the
1:22
vehicles which will put you at the front
1:24
of the checkpoint to walk
1:26
in i'm just going to test out a theory
1:27
and keep you updated on the time and
1:29
once i get in i have not had a corn dog
1:32
i have not had a churro or a disneyland
1:34
popcorn in over eight months
1:36
i'm gonna get at least one or more of
1:37
those items
1:39
once i'm inside dc i'm inviting you to
1:41
join me
2:00
can i get in this way unless you're
2:00
walking which i just so happen to be i
2:03
need to pan out
2:16
technical rope drop if you will
2:16
the partial reopenings of dca it's 10
2:19
a.m
2:20
but i've heard they start letting people
2:21
in about 9 30.
2:23
so it's 45 minutes before that and
2:27
just about that proximity time wise
2:31
to the parking area being open
2:34
so a head start definitely can be given
2:38
by being dropped off and or walking
2:41
oh yeah this is great way over there
2:45
is the galaxy's edge van and there's a
2:49
there's a pigeon or a seagull
2:52
there in the lot as well i believe all
2:55
these cars are just cast members that
2:58
have already arrived that park over near
3:00
the entrance
3:01
this is good it would be a little bit of
3:04
a traverse to park at the anaheim hotel
3:06
which side note i forgot to mention they
3:08
also charge i believe ten dollars
3:10
as well maybe even more to walk all the
3:12
way over here
3:13
but there really is nowhere else in
3:16
close proximity
3:18
to park but as you can see there is
3:19
nothing there is no one
3:22
and there's porta-potties over there too
3:24
if you hey good morning
3:26
yeah there's okay i'm counting a total
3:28
of
3:30
about eight people up here at the
3:32
current time
3:34
which is 8.45
3:37
and you can go utilize those over there
3:38
which i might do
3:40
you know because i'm gonna be waiting
3:41
for i don't know
3:43
30 minutes or so and then go get myself
3:46
a spot here
3:48
yeah hack initiated
3:51
only cast members behind me no other
3:54
guests walking in from this way
3:56
at this time period
4:00
beautiful as well as the fact that these
4:02
do not exist
4:03
on the the harbor side makes this
4:11
more pleasant later in the evenings have
4:11
you ever been here or
4:12
maybe seen photographs or just take my
4:14
word for it this entire area is filled
4:16
up with hundreds if not
4:18
into the thousands so low thousands of
4:21
gas waiting to get in
4:23
it can get very busy this entire area
4:26
becomes a makeshift q line 8 47
4:30
i am the last one in this line of less
4:33
than a dozen i would imagine over on
4:35
harbor side there's probably
4:36
a few hundred i would guess soon i will
4:38
be walking through there
4:40
i also wanted to show this little
4:43
vending machine
4:44
if you forget your facial covering for
4:47
just a couple dollars you can get
4:48
yourself one right there
4:50
and they have the little hand station as
4:53
well
4:54
case you forget we got you covered i
4:57
think now the parking area is open it's
4:59
about 9
5:00
12 and yeah so people are starting to
5:03
flow in now so i think automobiles are
5:05
being allowed in
5:06
you're going to start doubling back and
5:08
the line's going to fill up
5:09
yes definitely quite a few more guests
5:12
so 9 13 parking area has been
5:16
opened make a mental note
5:28
he just said mobile way will start at
5:30
10. at 9 30
5:32
letting us in there is i had to guess
5:33
there's probably about 500 people
5:35
already
5:36
that have arrived it is definitely a
5:38
real bee
5:39
it became a real beehive of activity
5:42
and now heading up to screening tent
5:46
how about the sixth person in on this
5:47
side it's 9 31.
5:49
and just like that at 9 40 i am looking
5:52
at carthage circle very beautiful
5:54
i believe the curo chart or
5:57
here the churro card over there is
6:00
already open so i'm gonna get myself uh
6:02
another coffee and then make my way over
6:05
to the
6:06
i cannot speak this early without
6:07
without i've already been caffeinated
6:09
once but i haven't
6:10
i haven't had two i gotta have two
6:11
before i can speak correctly there's
6:13
also some new annual pass holder
6:14
merchandise that is the line for that
6:16
i'm gonna get in that after i
6:17
after i consume my coffee after order is
6:19
place you have to wait on these little
6:21
little dots you cannot sit at the booth
6:22
and you pick up here
6:24
pick up your beverages right there at
6:26
that table while they prepare it over
6:27
there
6:28
in the distance it's a little bit
6:29
different situation but it works
6:31
is it ever too early for a churro i
6:33
think not
6:34
not a bad way to spend the morning
6:36
getting in a little early one of the
6:37
first groups in probably i'll say maybe
6:39
the first 25 people to walk in i believe
6:41
capacity
6:42
is around 500 maybe 700 give or take and
6:44
then they cut the line off and if you
6:46
leave
6:46
then they let other people inside up and
6:49
as i am starting to
6:50
sip on this i'm also taking my very
6:54
first
6:54
bite of a churro a disneyland churro
6:57
even though granted it is a dc of
6:59
dca the partial reopening it is a
7:02
disneyland churro here
7:03
standing in front of carthage circle
7:05
i've also planted myself
7:07
in front of the waterfall to finish
7:10
consuming it i've already taken quite a
7:12
few nibbles off of it i'm noticing the
7:14
music is a lot louder here than it was
7:16
on opening day so you have to be very
7:17
creative with where you do your little
7:19
food reviews where you wander around too
7:21
you got to have the background ambiance
7:23
of the
7:24
the water to kind of blend
7:32
the out that's why i've chosen this
7:32
rather noisy
7:33
yet subtle backdrop
7:38
oh yeah this is so good this is a tasty
7:41
treat
7:42
and
7:51
mix with this hot cocoa would be good
7:51
too
7:55
oh that is like the perfect nectar of
7:55
goodness right there
7:59
the amount of seating is very noticeable
8:02
there are chairs and tables
8:04
everywhere out here
8:13
even though we're not in the other areas
8:15
of the park you can still see the
8:16
distinct animal head here
8:18
carved out in the rock i always love
8:20
that with like growling up into the
8:22
heavens
8:23
oh dang there's a lot more people lined
8:24
up for the ap stuff that i was expecting
8:26
always good to see you walton mickey
8:28
gotta love strolling down hollywood
8:30
boulevard never gets old all the feels
8:32
of good old classic
8:34
hollywood now there are some areas that
8:36
seem busier but there's a lot of places
8:37
where they're really not
8:38
isn't a lot of congestion walking
8:40
through very empty it really just
8:41
depends on what you want to do most of
8:43
the shops are a little busy but the main
8:45
walkways they're
8:46
plenty of elbow room and when i say the
8:48
shops are busy they really aren't it's
8:50
just they seem that way because
8:51
everything is extended out with the
8:53
distancing and all
8:54
some of the stands don't open until a
8:55
little bit later on in the afternoon i
8:58
believe that's the case here
8:59
which obviously means i'll be back and
9:01
try i've never had a turkey leg spoiler
9:03
i've never had one of the disney turkey
9:05
legs
9:06
i have had most of these items however
9:08
these delicious ice cream treats
9:10
but never a jumbo turkey like 15 that's
9:13
a lot of meat
9:14
all right i accomplished my mission now
9:15
i'm gonna head into downtown disney go
9:17
over and see how stage 17 is looking at
9:19
the moment crowd wise
9:21
also known as the backlot premiere shop
9:24
and there's the little flag there
9:25
welcoming us in
9:26
looks like a grand total of about four
9:28
people over here to get in here yep
9:29
everyone's over in dca
9:31
not over at the backlot express stage
9:33
17. always very nice in here kind of
9:35
like same kind of world of disney
9:37
merchandise oh check out these star wars
9:39
christmas caps i thought this was a snow
9:42
or a bubble maker but in fact it's just
9:43
a glow item but it almost looks like it
9:45
would be like a bubble maker right with
9:46
a little little santa cap on might as
9:48
well walk over to world of disney and
9:50
just see how the line is or the virtual
9:52
cue to get in there is as well you know
9:53
we're already here why not
9:55
i love this season look at that tree so
9:58
very beautiful and
9:59
festive all right it was a little
10:01
lengthy going to pass on world of disney
10:02
of course it also is
10:04
a weekend so that's probably why it's so
10:06
busy that and limited capacity so it
10:08
takes a little bit longer to get into
10:09
the stores now but i did set out to
10:11
accomplish something and it
10:13
it happened and that was to see if i
10:14
could be one of the first ones to walk
10:16
into the dca expansion the
10:18
the buena vista street before prior to
10:21
the road trap at ten and
10:23
i was i was i figured that out
10:27
well the first one's in first one's here
10:31
first ones here and on a weekend as well
10:35
rolling out the the green carpet i would
10:37
i would imagine no clarification of this
10:39
but
10:40
if you do arrive during the weekday and
10:43
follow the same game plan
10:44
that it might even be a little easier
10:47
who knows this is all
10:48
just speculation who knows i'm just
10:51
always willing to
10:52
test out new theories and sometimes the
10:54
early bird
10:55
does get the worm sometimes the later
10:57
bird gets
10:58
another worm that's a catchphrase you
11:01
don't hear too often no
11:02
package probably never even been stated
11:04
i might have been the first ever
11:05
to ever quote that the self pay have not
11:09
they haven't pulled off the plastic on
11:11
these
11:12
although the the rest of the lot
11:15
it's ten dollars
11:20
whether you're an annual pass holder or
11:20
not ten dollars to park here
11:22
or you can get drop dropped off and walk
11:24
in early like i did
11:26
it will be nice if and when well it'll
11:28
it'll definitely happen at some point
11:30
but when
11:31
the rest of the park expands there are
11:33
some
11:34
very heavy rumors that if this goes well
11:37
they will extend it this is all just
11:39
just rumors that they will extend it
11:42
into other areas of dca and then
11:44
hack it who knows is main street
11:46
disneyland
11:48
possibly next look at this line of cars
11:51
here and
11:53
is that
11:59
classic car alert or does that just look
12:00
like a classic car
12:23
it never is i've always found out that
12:23
it works better that way that's going to
12:25
do it for today
