2:36
hidden mickey down there see mickey down
2:38
there sitting on the side of the
2:41
yeah it's not the side of the wall well
2:42
yeah i guess he is he's kind of like
2:43
humpty dumpty
2:45
down there mickey waving hello mickey
2:48
getting a view of space mountain over
2:50
there and the crane from the drawn
2:52
construction
2:53
and you can kind of see the castle
2:56
peeking up there
3:02
over the tree line astral orbiter
3:02
i'm not really sure why i said mickey
3:05
that was sitting on the side of the wall
3:06
was waving
3:07
he wasn't waving he was grasping onto
3:09
the side of the wall
3:11
maybe in my mind i'm picturing the fact
3:13
that he wore it
3:16
we're gonna get that comparison
3:31
so cool to hold onto the handrails again
3:31
there's no one else in this car but me
3:32
i'm the only one in this entire
3:34
car what they call the car i think it's
3:37
called the car
3:38
doesn't look like too many people are
3:40
entering at this time so i should have
3:41
no
3:42
issue getting in scanning my magic pants
3:44
look at that there's like a few people
3:46
exiting but really hardly any
3:48
anyone heading in it's going to be
3:50
smooth sailing on the way in
3:52
at this hour all right up doors are
3:54
opening
3:55
and now i can move off of the please
3:57
wait here stanchion another monorail
3:59
heading off
4:00
i'm heading into the magic kingdom of
4:02
magic
4:03
i just love seeing the monorails going
4:06
in and out of the station here
4:08
pretty cool little uh adds to the
4:09
ambiance i love that word obvious i
4:11
think i overuse it
4:12
you know what i like i like i like using
4:15
it
4:15
i am basically following the liberty
4:17
bell around rivers of america go take a
4:19
look at big thunder mountain and then
4:20
when it pulls back into port i'll get on
4:22
the liberty bell ferry boat and
4:23
go around the rivers of america maybe
4:25
there will be a little information right
4:26
over here oh it says
4:28
mountain goat infestation big thunder
4:31
closed until further notice by order of
4:34
barnabas
4:35
t bullion now i have no idea who
4:37
barnabas t
4:38
bullion is but he has closed this ride
4:42
for now i cannot get on the attraction
4:44
will not be able to ride a minecart
4:46
while a train
4:48
through the mine shafts and over the
4:49
mountains big thunder mountain railroad
4:52
so
4:52
for now if you're in this well you stand
4:54
right here but if you were over that
4:56
or if you were trying to get on they
4:58
would just tell you you best remove
5:00
yourself they are however seeking those
5:02
with
5:03
hurting experience right there that's
5:06
the goat or the ram that has the
5:08
oh he has a little stick of dynamite
5:09
there well i wonder if all the mountain
5:11
goats that are infestating
5:13
the the peaks up top all have dynamite
5:17
in there in their mouths like that there
5:19
you go right there
5:20
questions and concerns must be addressed
5:23
to interim foreman
5:24
ub yes you be
5:28
patient i like that very very clever you
5:30
can't even walk up
5:32
nugget way so that's what this says here
5:34
nugget
5:35
way right along there any course you
5:37
have over the island
5:39
over on the side and a splash over in
5:42
the distance and even over here the exit
5:43
also has the same signage on it as well
5:45
oh check it out chip and dale on the
5:47
raft over there i thought they were
5:48
going to come this way but no they're
5:49
just like
5:50
they circled around they saw me and now
5:51
they're going back the other direction
5:52
but chip and dale
5:54
on a wrap one of the tom sawyer wraps i
5:56
wonder how long big thunder is going to
5:57
be down for i really love this
5:59
attraction so hopefully not not too long
6:01
and in all these years i never noticed
6:03
this box of explosives down here i mean
6:05
they do have to get rid of the
6:07
they have to herd all those all those
6:09
goats that have
6:10
emphasis the infestation of goats
6:13
that are up there yeah look down here i
6:15
never noticed this box or this little
6:16
waterway
6:17
i mean i knew the water was up there but
6:19
i never followed it down to where it
6:20
ends
6:21
very interesting what you notice when
6:22
you're in a hurry to get on a traction
6:23
and then
6:24
when it's not open you kind of notice
6:26
like little details like that
6:27
and there are a couple cast members
6:29
letting everyone know that right now
6:30
this attraction is not open
6:32
any guests that come up they just let
6:34
them know that you know temporarily it
6:36
is
6:36
infestated with goats i am now boarding
6:40
the boat it loads from the second level
6:43
exits down there on the first level
6:45
unlike anaheim disneyland you board from
6:48
the same level
6:49
going around towards the back and i get
6:51
a view of haunted mansion now this
6:53
stock's running at 7 pm
6:55
it's currently 6 28 or 6 30.
6:58
so this is one of the last river boat
7:00
runs
7:01
of the evening i'm gonna get a good view
7:04
of big thunder mountain railroad and we
7:05
can figure out
7:06
what kind of that infestation that's
7:08
happening over there
7:10
see if we can see a bunch of mountain
7:11
goats at the moment i found a nice
7:13
little spot in the shade
7:15
out of the elements but it is still
7:16
sunny at this moment you can see how the
7:18
castle just kind of
7:19
peeks up it's kind of hard to hide the
7:22
castle
7:23
all around even though this is
7:24
frontierland over there
7:26
you see the castle like kind of
7:27
protruding up and they are closing up
7:30
the gates oh look at this and then they
7:31
take this little thing here
7:33
and it kind of lifts up but they just
7:34
said all aboard there and we might be
7:36
getting the
7:37
they're going to be kind of like blowing
7:39
the the smokestack
7:56
i love it so much i love it
8:00
i get excited about the the small things
8:02
kind of coming into view here is
8:04
big thunder mountain railroad which is
8:06
down
8:07
for a construction update as the sign
8:11
of stated they had a they have an
8:14
infestation of goats oh this is very
8:17
interesting right down there it says the
8:19
might
8:19
feet boats right there now if memory
8:22
serves me correctly mike
8:23
feet was the one that had the keel boats
8:26
at least at disneyland do they have the
8:27
keel boats here at magic kingdom
8:29
yeah this might have been the station
8:32
for the keel bugs
8:33
and now turning around the the corner
8:37
should get a nice little sunburst sun
8:39
flare as it kind of like
8:41
shines into the camera so it's going to
8:43
be very silhouetted out
8:45
so you can see the geysers there are
8:47
still working
8:48
and i did see some some workers down in
8:51
there earlier when i
8:52
when i approached over there where they
8:54
had everything blocked off
8:56
but it seems as if at this hour you know
8:58
the workers have gone home it's about 6
9:00
45
9:01
at this time so their shift has ended
9:04
for the day
9:04
but we're just getting we're getting big
9:07
thunder mountain railroad in all its
9:09
empty
9:10
glory if you will oh this is called twin
9:13
river bend that says twin twin river
9:16
bend that's the technical name
9:18
and of course splash over in the
9:21
distance and the geysers have created a
9:23
little
9:23
erosion here very very neat
9:28
yeah usually when i pass by this section
9:31
a train will going to be going by and i
9:33
can get
9:34
get a nice little view of one of the
9:35
trains but that is not happening
9:37
today what now they say that there's an
9:41
overload of goats i'm not seeing an
9:43
infestation by any means
9:45
i'm seeing a moderate or less than
9:47
moderate
9:48
amount of goats in here
9:52
maybe i'm off on this but there are no
9:56
like i don't see i don't even say
9:57
moderate amount there are no goats
10:00
no goats clearly it's not an issue so it
10:03
must be something else
10:05
as we go by here yeah look at that look
10:06
at that little like hairpin turn there
10:08
is it kind of
10:09
that's a little tight sweet i never
10:10
knows how tight that squeeze and how
10:12
how that kind of like goes at that angle
10:15
very sharp angle there
10:18
yeah i'm noticing a lot more stuff here
10:22
and then around the back oh what is this
10:23
here this is like a projection booth
10:26
i could see like a little projection
10:27
unit there
10:29
very interesting okay all right there
10:32
you go
10:33
little big thunder mountain update from
10:36
the riverboat jungle cruise is up next
10:39
but
10:39
gotta finish the rivers of america luke
10:42
first
10:43
now at disneyland the boat is called the
10:45
mark twain
10:47
mark twain but here it's the
10:50
liberty bell right up there as stated
10:53
liberty bell sometimes
10:55
sometimes they get confusing sometimes
10:57
when i'm back in orlando i will call it
10:59
the mark twain just out of
11:01
out of habit but it's the liberty bell
11:03
here and here's the alligator
11:05
little alligator and the dog well the
11:07
alligators next to
11:08
the dock with the little dog i think at
11:11
one time
11:12
there was a fisherman here this really
11:14
is an incredible piece of machinery
11:18
so cool they're making an announcement
11:20
there their facial coverings must still
11:22
be worn
11:23
now some people just say they're not
11:25
realizing that because you can walk
11:26
around
11:27
in other areas of the park when they're
11:29
in the open spaces
11:30
when you are on any attraction even like
11:33
in
11:34
up there blowing the
12:04
here we go on the haunted mansion
12:04
east coast edition is on the lowest
12:08
level
12:25
safe distance between parties thank you
12:25
for battling
12:26
on the liberty belt today welcome
12:29
from one boat to another now i'm gonna
12:31
head over to jungle cruise
12:34
and see the new additions from rivers of
12:37
america
12:38
to the rivers of the jungle
12:47
it's adventureland i'm on my way now it
12:47
stays 45 minutes from here for standby
12:49
but it doesn't look to be
12:50
too lengthy there's hardly anyone in
12:52
line from this point
12:53
the exotic jungle cruise
12:56
and pointed this out a month ago they
12:58
have removed pretty much
13:00
everything off of these walls and i
13:02
wonder if over here yep
13:04
the shrunken heads are still there
13:35
perfect that's the top of the boat now
13:35
if they happen to switch and the top
13:36
ever becomes the bottom
13:41
now over here to the left you're going
13:41
to see inspiration rock now
13:43
they're longer and deeper you're
13:44
standing in this rock
13:46
the waterfall
13:52
there's no water falling from
13:52
inspiration falls
13:54
he calls it inspiration raw river
14:18
here's the first change here's the first
14:18
change this little hut here called boats
14:21
and baits
14:21
and bites look at that menu grilled and
14:25
fried that is a new little
14:27
little stand
14:44
yeah that looks pretty much the same way
14:44
the good news is i was never able to get
14:46
that jeep started so i'm hoping
14:48
to turn over yeah we're gonna make like
14:52
a grenade
14:53
and split down the nile river now it's
14:55
time to
14:57
the get serious is the longest river
14:59
here in africa
15:00
some say goes on for nice and nice
15:05

15:51
animatronics
15:52
moving up the side of the rhino pole

16:04
are gonna be so
16:04
crushing that pair which is nice that's
16:07
pretty cool
16:13
inspirational and educational here's the
16:14
educational part of our truth
16:34
soon we'll be going around the
16:34
background
16:57
it's okay i don't like to talk about it
16:57
either
17:05
animals on planet guys that's how women
17:05
that is they're gonna charge the boat
17:08
but luckily i told them to support on
17:10
the top
17:17
charge the boat put it on their tabs
17:18
what's going on here what is going on
17:20
here with this little wall
17:22
and the green cart what was here i think
17:26
there was like some skulls here before
17:28
yeah look at this some new development
17:30
is taking them
17:32
and look up there there's something else
17:34
there something else is happening right
17:35
up there
17:36
oh they have removed some of this yeah
17:39
they have removed some of the
17:42
take a look at that and then over here
17:51
oh look they have removed some of the
17:51
ambush
17:53
there's only two of the ambushers left
17:57
wow there are only two of the ambushers
18:15
now guys away live in here in the mekong
18:15
river come to this dark and scary temple
18:17
you want to go inside
18:18
i do yeah okay well we're going to go in
18:21
anyway
18:23
i said yes
18:42
oh
18:42
oh there's a tiger there's a tiger up
19:00
now guys up here to the left you're
19:00
going to see what happens when you stay
19:01
in the shower for way too long
19:04
yeah you become an elephant
19:07
and i'm here
19:30
so guys we're going to ask that as we
19:32
return to civilization i'm going to ask
19:34
that you keep your hands up to
19:35
feed your legs inside the boat at all
19:36
times parents keep on watching those
19:39
children because i simply do not want to
19:41
and keep your face coming down at all
19:43
there you go guys we laughed together we
19:44
cried together
19:45
and we gosh darn nearly died together so
19:47
it kind of makes us like a family
19:49
but much like my family 10 minutes a bit
19:51
together is much
19:52
too long so coming up here you're going
19:54
to see two dogs you're going to see a
19:56
dog on your left and you're also going
19:57
to see it
19:59
trader sam's gift shop is now coming to
20:01
fruition right there
20:03
look at that that's it right there where
20:04
traitor sam used to sit
20:06
because now traitor's saying thank you
20:09
so much
20:44
you're not gonna believe this me too
20:44
where are you guys from
20:56
make sure you tell your friends and
20:56
family about your experience here at the
20:58
jungle cruise it really helps us out and
21:00
we have to keep our
21:02
give you this one piece of advice to go
21:03
home with okay
21:05
are you ready like i said i like my
21:07
quizzes to be educational and
21:09
inspirational
21:10
so i want you to know always remember
21:14
that way you never forget you can't say
21:17
i didn't teach you anything more on the
21:18
jungle cruise now guys
21:20
i'm going to tell you something i've
21:21
been wanting to tell you since the
21:22
moment i met you
21:23
since the moment you stepped foot into
21:25
this boat
21:51
that was really good i enjoyed that
21:51
particular cruise through
21:53
the jungle only a couple left from the
21:57
scene i figured that was the case that
21:59
we're going to probably get rid of that
22:00
but there's only two left so if you want
22:02
to see the ambush scene
22:03
now's the time i would imagine those
22:04
last two characters will probably be
22:06
removed and
22:07
you can see the the the very end the
22:09
trader sam gift shop
22:11
that is now you know starting to form
22:13
and
22:14
things are starting to head i would
22:16
imagine it will all be completed
22:18
way before the 50th anniversary october
22:20
1st that we will have an all new
22:23
end stages jungle cruise attraction oh i
22:26
certainly do
22:27
love these little tikis outside the
22:29
jungle cruise looking over towards the
22:31
tomorrowland walkway and
22:33
people mover going by and i guess you
22:35
could classify this as
22:37
magic hour i guess it would be a little
22:38
after magic hour with the silhouette of
22:40
