welcome everyone Adam the woo here
0:48
glaring into magic hour
0:51
which is a terminology some use I don't
0:53
even know if I'm using it correctly when
0:55
the sun is just about to set and you got
0:58
that glistening
1:00
time frame for an hour or so
1:03
known as magic speaking of magic and
1:05
going to the kingdom
1:07
of magic as stated wait times are
1:10
relatively short I looked on the My
1:11
Disney Experience app I said heck it
1:13
there are reservations available so I
1:15
grabbed one I'm gonna head over there I
1:18
could not wait to get to Joffrey's I
1:19
needed to get a little caffeine in my
1:21
system
1:22
a little pep in my step
1:25
I'm heading in well first I'm gonna go
1:27
to my car
1:28
and then head over join me
1:30
I don't know what's gonna happen that's
1:32
the best thing about some of these
1:33
episodes
1:34
I just wing it
1:36
join me
1:38
shall you I'm just realizing I may or
1:41
may not have said it was September in
1:43
the intro as the recording of this it is
1:46
Sunday February 26 2023.
1:54
I'm not sure if I said
1:54
the wrong mother or not but yeah it's
1:56
February evidently after all the time
1:58
I've been walking around with the camera
2:00
and filming
2:01
drinking coffee I still cannot do both
2:03
at the same time without spilling some
2:05
of myself
2:06
but I just did that
2:08
spill some of my shirt
2:09
got a lot speaking of Starbucks
2:12
well as I zoom in on I-4 Westbound
2:14
traffic here
2:27
is it that company Starbucks would come
2:27
out with a you are here you've been
2:29
their mug series for celebration
2:32
they have them at the Disney parks
2:35
almost every state at least as far as
2:37
I've been to has their own mug
2:47
all the parks
2:47
celebration would be nice if celebration
2:49
had one I would buy it now obviously the
2:52
State of Florida has one of those mugs
2:54
as does California even Los Angeles has
2:57
its own mug Orange County has its own
3:00
mug
3:04
I'm trying to think of who else has what
3:04
has their own mug
3:06
needless to say
3:07
celebration needs their own mug
3:10
and so does not too there's a it's a
3:12
Starbucks in Knott's Berry Farm they did
3:13
their own mug now approaching
3:16
Walt Disney Worlds Magic
3:20
Kingdom
3:26
good old heavy metal Mickey
3:26
I've almost finished this up and
3:29
properly caffeinated now you know what's
3:31
kind of interesting when you go through
3:32
the checkpoint over here when you're
3:34
going in there's no trash cans there's
3:36
only trash cans after you exit through
3:38
the metal detectors
3:44
obviously you don't throw anything out
3:44
before they have time to kind of check
3:45
you but it also got me thinking too
3:47
heavy metal Mickey would never make it
3:50
through there
3:51
heavy metal Mickey would be stopped and
3:54
searched now usually when I had in the
3:56
park I will take the ferry boat over but
3:58
I'm kind of in a monorail mood so I'm
4:00
gonna take the monorail over to MK
4:02
doesn't look there's hardly anybody of
4:04
mine so it makes sense to do it let's do
4:06
it now it's just about
4:08
four four and a half five weeks until
4:11
the 50th anniversary of Walt Disney
4:13
World comes to an end
4:16
it's really a bad example because
4:17
they're illuminated underneath the
4:19
monorail but will the illuminations
4:20
continue
4:22
after the fifth oh look in the
4:23
reflection you can see the sunset nice
4:26
as I look at the wait times here check
4:28
this out 10 minutes
4:30
for Tomorrowland Speedway got my eye on
4:33
that
4:35
Thunder
4:36
I think Thunder is only at 35 minutes
4:38
it's not bad oh wait that's not a big
4:40
fan of us mansion mansion 35 that's not
4:43
bad big Thunder's only a 20. oh yeah
4:45
it's gonna be a good night
4:57
let's have a little emblem right there
4:57
reflecting into the glass
5:20
rushing in so which is as soon as I get
5:20
the monorail be like a quick little
5:21
entry you know I just got to thinking I
5:24
don't think I have been on Jungle Cruise
5:25
since it was jingle cruise for the
5:27
holidays so maybe a jungle cruise
5:29
Adventure also in that land might be on
5:33
par for tonight all right first stop is
5:35
gonna be Tomorrowland Raceway
5:38
Tomorrowland Speedway it's the race cars
5:41
it's their very Walt Disney World's
5:43
version of autopia this poster just kind
5:45
of reminded me while I'm in here I need
5:46
to say hi to Sonny Eclipse who I believe
5:48
has been redone he's been spruced up a
5:51
little bit took some time off and now he
5:53
is
5:54
now have you seen Sonic by the way
5:55
Justin's here hey but I met you here yes
5:58
we didn't come here together but I ran
6:00
into you on Main Street yes we just met
6:01
have you seen Sonny Eclipse since he's
6:03
been refurbed he looks good he looks
6:05
good he's had a little work done has he
6:07
yes I have to go over there and I
6:09
actually know what I'm gonna do
6:10
something interesting I'm gonna do some
6:11
clever editing here I'm just gonna like
6:12
show this right this is how you can just
6:14
go in and then I'm gonna show what he
6:16
looks like now used to look like that
6:18
yeah now he looks like this
6:22
now appearing at the Starlight I'm still
6:24
reading off the poster from the other
6:26
clip
6:27
to show that
6:29
you wanna you wanna ride the Raceway
6:31
with me let's do it let's ride the
6:32
Raceway
6:34
I wonder if Sunday Eclipse can detach
6:36
himself and ride in the car behind us
6:39
take a look at Tron over there looking
6:41
very beautiful I still have not ridden
6:43
Tron one day one day
6:46
not in any rusher I draw
6:52
you all right I'm getting ready
6:52
are you gonna drive or am I gonna drive
6:54
whatever bro I'm down for anything see
6:57
my hat
6:58
you're like Lincoln Hawk from Over the
7:00
Top
7:21
you know we have not ridden in a autopia
7:21
style car in a long time I don't even
7:23
know when the last time we wrote it up I
7:25
don't think we've ever done it at Disney
7:26
World we must have I don't think so just
7:29
Disneyland like a bunch of times I'm
7:31
already going out of control I also need
7:33
to know do you do you do you think I I
7:36
I've confirmed it in my own mind but you
7:38
think that this is screen use fly the
7:40
Navigator prop up there well now that
7:41
the guy says oh I created a thing and
7:44
the thing I
7:45
now the imagineer said it wasn't yeah
7:47
but I I think it is
7:50
you can tell man as you know even Eric
7:52
idle doesn't even remember Stickman I
7:54
know so sometimes
8:01
or maybe he got a Bass Prop to work off
8:01
of and all he remembers is doing the
8:02
sketches
8:03
it's one of those things very true look
8:06
at Tron oh yeah it's a thing of beauty
8:08
you ride it I have not written it yet
8:11
I'm waiting on Tron it's fun it's uh you
8:13
get it yeah it's short it's very like 90
8:16
seconds yeah it's that was kind of like
8:18
going on
8:20
I don't know what would it be compared
8:22
to wait time wait time wise
8:25
time wise dang it'd be kind of like
8:27
going on the rockets at Disneyland I
8:30
would say if you had to pick a part to
8:31
go to and try to go on a new ride when
8:33
that opens
8:34
Guardians
8:36
I'd go for Guardian it's gonna be hard
8:37
to be Guardian this thing is not
8:38
mind-blowing
8:40
oh you heard it here first yeah from
8:43
Justin scarred his review
8:49
forthcoming and that's basically my take
8:49
oh you've filmed on it you can't get mad
8:51
because it's a brand new ride it didn't
8:53
replace anything yeah it'd be like your
8:55
mind's gonna blown after Guardians
8:58
Guardians is one of the best rides I've
9:00
been on in a long time
9:02
look at this without the walls I haven't
9:04
been over here without the walls up
9:08
well we've been friends for a long time
9:10
but we've never touched legs for this
9:12
long we're leveling we're leveling up
9:15
and we're both wearing shorts skin to
9:17
skin yeah babies getting this in contact
9:19
there was one time at Disneyland years
9:21
ago
9:22
where there was a bee in the car
9:24
remember the B no we tried to escape him
9:27
yeah he has a real beehive beehive of
9:30
activity yeah and there was a b it was
9:32
back in the unedited day I do remember
9:34
now
9:40
you did too I do some now I started
9:40
bringing them
9:42
that's the old channel that you did not
9:45
have sometimes well we both have two
9:47
channels yeah one of them does better
9:49
than the other one yep but we still use
9:51
both of them occasionally I quit my main
9:53
Channel originally because I was like
9:54
there's too many people
9:56
it's too much attention yeah but now
9:59
you're back are you back have you been
10:01
uh been drinking a little bit maybe a
10:03
little bit of Coke Zero too much Coke
10:05
Zero somebody I'm bought this car
10:07
somebody handbook get good
10:10
the steering isn't doing
10:12
something better together
10:14
in a jungle cruise
10:16
should just do those three rides did you
10:18
smash cut from this two Big Thunder yeah
10:21
all right I decided not to do your smash
10:23
cut sorry sorry I was going to but
10:25
there's too much to show between here
10:27
and there so like what I'll let you do
10:30
the smash cause I'm just gonna do my
10:32
style okay a blogging
10:35
I kind of wanted to point out that I
10:38
think Disneyland has electric cars right
10:40
yeah or CNG there's there's something
10:42
clean now yeah yeah these are not clean
10:44
these are dirty cars yeah they're like
10:47
gas powered yeah
10:49
hard time
10:51
is that a Goonies reference that is yeah
10:53
see if I did like a smash cut as you
10:55
call it I wouldn't have gotten this
10:57
walking across the bridge look at those
10:59
two stars right there I know that's the
11:01
uh that's two you know what stars those
11:02
are no I haven't I no one's a planet
11:04
right well that right there the third
11:06
star is an airplane oh yeah I thought
11:09
that was the second star to the right
11:11
but I guess it's just Delta look at the
11:13
right
11:13
for another airline yeah or another area
11:16
look at the reflection here
11:19
so I have little quiet zones around the
11:21
park because obviously you know filming
11:23
around music is tough on this platform
11:25
so right here I utilize this platform on
11:28
the bridge because it's always quiet and
11:30
there's always a waterfall it's not that
11:32
stifle it's not that quiet well I hope
11:34
it is this is stifling music sounds oh I
11:37
see what you're saying so you can always
11:38
narrate here there is a lot of Music at
11:40
theme parks and honestly I've thought
11:42
about this a lot it is completely
11:43
unnecessary absolutely
11:45
you're preaching to the choir
11:48
I'm the choir so we are going to cut
11:52
through here
11:53
head over to the hub and then we're
11:55
gonna walk over should we do Jungle
11:57
Cruise first you wish you had smash cut
11:59
through here because then we wouldn't
12:00
have even had to walk should we do
12:01
jungle there you know what let's do
12:02
Jungle Cruise next and we'll end because
12:05
we should end with that with the whole
12:08
kitten caboodle all right this is pretty
12:10
dang nice stand by entrance 10 minutes
12:13
