today's adventure begins by staring at
0:03
power pole mickey
0:06
looking at i-4 westbound
0:16
arrived in late last night from a 10-day
0:18
road trip
0:19
as the recording of this is thursday may
0:21
20th 2021 and there has been some
0:24
changes
0:25
to walt disney world now these new
0:27
developments took place a few days to a
0:30
week ago i was not here to document and
0:32
experience
0:33
but this will be my first time back
0:36
where facial coverings are not needed
0:38
in open areas and i believe temp checks
0:42
have been removed let's see
0:46
i plan on doing a little park hopping
0:47
but starting off at magic kingdom first
0:49
this is where i was able to
0:51
get a quick reservation this morning so
0:53
starting here
0:54
and heading over probably to animal
0:55
kingdom a little bit later well the
0:57
first thing i'm noticing here in the
0:59
parking area is they are not separating
1:01
spaces anymore
1:02
for months and months and months you
1:05
would park
1:06
here and this spot would be empty and
1:08
then the next spot
1:09
is where the next car would park but now
1:10
they are filling in all the spots
1:12
welcome everyone adam the woo here
1:14
i have my trusty umbrella my hat that i
1:16
have been wearing
1:17
starting to fall into disrepair so i
1:18
might have to purchase another one
1:20
starting to be shredded in every
1:22
possible way and not really wearable
1:24
anymore
1:25
have the facial covering which i believe
1:27
you still have to utilize on
1:29
rides attractions inside but outdoors
1:33
not needed this is going to be a little
1:34
unusual because i have gotten
1:36
used to once i approach this point going
1:39
up to
1:40
the checkpoint and to ttc these must be
1:43
dawned and now they are not necessary so
1:46
it's going to be kind of a little bit of
1:47
a mind scramble i'm inviting you
1:49
to join me throughout the course of the
1:50
day shall you
1:52
yep it is official there are no more
1:54
temp checks look at this
1:55
temp checks are gone on multiple
1:58
occasions i walked right through there
2:00
they have been dismantled erased from
2:03
existence
2:04
there goes the monterey it's gonna take
2:07
some getting used to all these changes
2:08
but i'm here for it
2:09
was just informed well everyone all the
2:11
guests were informed that
2:13
must put it on when entering onto the
2:16
ferry boat across
2:16
seven seas so you have to wear it on the
2:18
ferry boat
2:20
new um uh we're asking that you all
2:23
remain stationary throughout the entire
2:25
trip
2:26
about eight minutes you must wear your
2:28
mask at all times
2:36
saying you have to please it at all
2:36
times when on the boat
2:38
but when walking around the common areas
2:40
outside you don't have to anymore
2:42
interesting and now that i am in here i
2:45
can fix that well
2:46
i could have this off even before but i
2:48
don't even need
2:49
hello how's it going don't even need to
2:53
have this on at all and i'm noticing
2:55
about
2:56
half and half i would say half are
2:57
wearing it the other half are now
3:00
they had about a few weeks ago or a
3:02
month ago they started regulations where
3:04
you could take it off if you were
3:05
standing still for photographs
3:07
you don't even have to be standing still
3:08
anymore i can just
3:10
walk around wherever i so choose just
3:13
like this
3:14
without the face recovery on and since a
3:16
lot of people are best removing them i
3:18
think maybe an appropriate
3:19
appropriate attraction to go on would be
3:21
big thunder mountain railroad
3:22
i have managed to get the front seats
3:24
while i asked for the front seat
3:26
because the back seat was already spoken
3:30
for
3:43
now i also will say every row of the
3:43
train is filled up they are not
3:44
separating rose
3:46
they have it for about a month now
3:49
also the markers on the ground which are
3:53
still
3:54
i believe at six feet
4:01
i don't see many people abiding by the
4:01
by the markers on the ground everyone
4:03
everyone
4:04
doesn't really follow those guidelines
5:20
go little two two go go go
5:20
go take the little
5:23
takes a minute for it to get moving in
5:25
the front
5:38
definitely a lot of fun and as you exit
5:38
you can
5:39
get best removal if you so choose you
5:42
don't have to
5:43
it is an option it's not required but if
5:45
you feel like it
5:47
you yes remove me
5:51
i kind of feel like it might just be
5:52
easier to have it on at all times i have
5:55
it here
5:56
kind of wedged between my fingers like
5:57
take it off and on but you're on the
5:59
rides and attractions and indoors and in
6:00
certain areas populated areas just to
6:02
put it back on
6:02
might just be easier to keep it on the
6:04
whole time which i kind of been doing
6:05
but for the sake of the video i
6:07
pulled it off just to show that it is
6:08
allowed going over now to the people
6:10
mover it is windy this umbrella is
6:12
swaying back and forth i am so glad the
6:14
people mover is
6:15
back on track now you can see it's about
6:18
half and half those that are wearing it
6:19
and those that aren't as i stroll along
6:21
half and half by side filling up the
6:23
escalator i really like these distancing
6:25
markers because you don't have any
6:27
choice
6:27
you can't wait there we are on a
6:30
revolving or a moving walkway
6:32
heading up to the people mover i can't
6:34
wait there unless i was to kind of do
6:36
the moonwalk
6:38
backwards it's pushing me forward and
6:40
every the speed ramp
6:41
they call it oh yeah i am glad the
6:45
back coverings must be worn on this but
6:47
they are no longer separating
6:50
cars as well every seat is filled up
6:53
well not the seat in front of me
6:54
but every car is filled up they weren't
6:56
doing that a couple weeks ago
7:13
and getting on the monorail now about to
7:13
head back over to ttc
7:14
get my car i'm gonna drive over to the
7:16
animal kingdom for a little
7:17
front hopping hello everyone welcome to
7:20
modern appeal
7:22
our next stop will be the transformation
7:23
tickets
7:25
do not lean on the doors with your
7:27
facebook
7:33
they do have a washboard sign out there
7:33
that states that you have to do that but
7:35
i haven't seen
7:36
many of those washboard signs around the
7:38
park they've removed them they've just
7:40
removed them
7:41
so just to reiterate when you're inside
7:44
a building or inside
7:45
an attraction or an acute line
7:48
these are required walking down main
7:51
street
7:52
walking down any of the pathways
7:54
entering the park
7:56
ttc any exterior section
7:59
these are not required but it is all up
8:02
to your own preference if you don't feel
8:04
comfortable taking this off you can
8:07
leave it on
8:07
but it is not
8:12
you might get a pretty good view here
8:12
some of the construction that's taking
8:14
place
8:14
at the monorail platform at the poly
8:17
yeah look over there so the whole mod
8:20
the
8:20
monorail does not stop even the express
8:22
monorail or the
8:24
resort monorail does not stop here at
8:27
the polynesian
8:28
this is what's going on over to the side
8:31
they are redoing the entire
8:34
platform take a look at that now once
8:36
you depart the monorail
8:38
you can you best remove them off your
8:40
face
8:41
if you so choose yeah that is something
8:43
else no more temp checks
8:46
heading back to the car no one is
8:48
required to
8:51
to wear what previously was required as
8:53
i leave the parking lot just looking at
8:55
the trams
8:56
still sitting here they haven't started
8:59
operating the trams yet
9:02
maybe soon though maybe and now a little
9:04
park hopping is commencing
9:06
into animal kingdom and it's not just
9:09
ttc where the trams aren't running
9:11
also here over here at animal kingdom i
9:13
guess when capacity starts to go up a
9:15
bit
9:15
i'll start running them again i didn't
9:17
realize that not having the spacing
9:18
between the cars was gonna be
9:21
such an unusual thought process because
9:24
it was kind of nice you pull up you
9:26
wouldn't have anyone in your immediate
9:27
area
9:28
next to you you could open your door
9:29
wide take your time getting all your
9:30
stuff together
9:31
those days are over as as the spiels
9:35
that you would hear saying if you are
9:37
not properly wearing
9:39
the items you will be asked to leave
9:41
they are not making those statements
9:43
throughout the park there is no ghost
9:46
spiel if you will i was looking at the
9:48
weather over not today so much not
9:50
really too
9:51
scorching today but here in the near
9:53
future the next few couple days from now
9:56
it's gonna start getting really hot high
9:57
of 90s
9:59
i think i have this umbrella the hat is
10:01
good too but i'm not the
10:03
kind of worn out and broken so i have
10:05
the umbrella this is nice without this
10:08
it'd be a little more unpleasant to my
10:10
to my face
10:11
and my head and my neck and truthfully
10:15
gotten really in the habit of wearing
10:16
this on disney property it's going to be
10:19
a tough habit to break
10:21
it's a slow process before it's
10:23
completely not needed
10:26
but i'm just so used to it since the
10:28
reopening's back in
10:29
july of 2020 early july
10:33
i've been here on a semi regular basis
10:35
with this on so without taking it off
10:38
and wandering around is a very different
10:42
what my mind is used to and no temp
10:44
checks here either they still have the
10:46
tents up but no temp checks
10:47
i am now officially in i've also noticed
10:49
on the way in is another what this is
10:51
starting to fall here but i also noticed
10:53
on the way in
10:54
another washboard which as you enter in
10:58
gives a little more specific details of
11:01
how it works it doesn't just say
11:02
that you must wear these which is kind
11:05
of like wedge in there between my
11:06
fingers
11:07
at all times but only on the indoor
11:09
attractions
11:10
rides and restaurants that gives a
11:13
that's the first
11:14
signage that i've seen designated
11:16
exactly what's what's happening
11:18
and the whole time i was just discussing
11:19
that look down here
11:21
look at a little little scavenging down
11:23
there he's on a
11:24
hunt for something in the in the ground
11:26
you finding it
11:28
finding it down there all right i'm
11:30
gonna i'm gonna walk this way
11:31
and go over towards the pinnacle of
11:35
walking into animal kingdom
11:36
the tree of life and all its glory the
11:38
centerpiece
11:39
magic kingdom has the castle epcot has
11:42
spaceship earth
11:43

11:45

11:47
the tree of life and i met up with a few
11:49
friends made me surprise you there you
11:50

11:50
i startled you a little bit i thought i
11:52

11:54

11:56
also well it's so strange
11:58

12:02

13:25
very peaceful
13:26
very peaceful and nostalgic i heard the
13:28
pirates of caribbean
13:30
i heard that yeah it's similar yeah
13:31
except there's a it goes backwards
13:33
through the dark very quickly
13:34
okay i want off come on you want off
13:37

13:47
oh what'd you guys get into
13:47
the bridge is out the virgin oh no
13:52
going backwards going backwards hold on
15:12
that was good
15:12
oh yeah nice that right there is for
15:14
posterity thank you very much
15:16
your first ride my first big round first
15:19
big ride
15:21
you went on the safari earlier before i
15:24
got here
15:25
yeah this is the very first huge ride
15:28
in the park katie and spencer looked
15:29
terrified got stopped off to get
15:31
something to eat and now the cast
15:33
members are not for your drink for you
15:35
you pour your own
15:36
beverage which has not been a thing for
15:38
quite some time so that is
15:39
that is a step forward i went with a
15:41
little noodle dish here with shrimp
15:43
some bao and charlie also got us what'd
15:45
you get i got the
15:46
noodles with the roast beef the noodles
15:48
with roasted did you pour your own
15:50
drinks
15:50
i poured my own drink i stood there for
15:52
like 10 minutes and nobody would do it
15:53
so i did it myself
15:54
that's because now the cast members
15:56
aren't doing it you got to pour your own
15:58
drink oh that makes sense yeah i got to
15:59
be honest i never knew this hidden
16:01
mickey was up here until katie just told
16:02
me
16:04
look at that thing right there
16:08
now that i can zoom in i found it
16:14
that was what i found the first trip
16:14
here i was so excited
16:42
under the floating mountains what do you
16:42
think the percentage of people who are
16:43
wearing facial coverings
16:44
are i'm saying 50 50 50
16:48
half and half i would say well let's see
17:01
40 percent pretty close to 50. yeah but
17:01
i'd say there's a little more that
17:02
aren't working
17:05
okay so 60 40.
17:08
all right that's what i'm saying that's
17:10
what i think
17:17
no it's half and half
17:17
60 40 is pretty dang close to half and
17:19
half but it's just a little
17:21
saying 70 30. 70 30. 70 or what 70
17:25
wearing
17:26
not wearing 70 wear and 30 percent not
17:28
wearing no
17:29
70 knot 70 not wearing it yeah
17:32
well everything i've said is false
17:33
through the course of my whole this
17:34
whole video because i said 50 50.
17:36
dude it's so not big it's 60 40.
17:39
60 40. i'm gonna say 50 50.
17:43
now i want our ice cream
18:02
yes and he's holding a rock
18:02
like this is that group making a noise
18:22
i have a question and now heading into
18:22
the dino
18:23
institute just very similar to indiana
18:28
jones out in anaheim
18:29

18:33
different
18:33
theming gonna get on board one of these
18:36
vehicles and
18:38

18:47
you didn't expect me to point the camera
18:47
out here no i didn't i i
18:49
don't i didn't i did not dino i don't
18:52
know what i'm trying to say
18:57
you're trying to make a pun i was it was
18:57
a terrible
18:58
trying to be punny terrible

19:04
we're passing this station now

required

20:04
public areas not required a piece of
20:06
history
20:07
has taken place the vlog
20:11
is over
