today's adventure begins by looking at
0:03
I4 westbound as the recording of this it
0:06
is Christmas Eve Sunday December 24th
0:37
time oh yeah I can already tell it's
0:37
going to be busy at the
0:39
Springs this is the line to get into the
0:41
orange garage now to use a little
0:45
comparison usually I'm up there two cars
0:47
from the light when it turns red to
0:49
Green got to wait a couple intervals of
0:51
Lights simply because there's so many
0:53
cars going in I'm guessing they'll
0:55
probably be parking usually I will park
0:56
up on the roof of orange there's a lot
0:59
of there's a few different parking
1:01
structures but the one I usually park at
1:03
is orange you can't see it because of
1:05
these trees right here but it's the
1:07
closest in
1:08
proximity to Celebration so always come
1:10
in this way a lot of Disney buses going
1:13
by there SRA solle used to be only flat
1:16
parking there used to not be any parking
1:18
structures so I remember the day when it
1:19
was all surface parking and they started
1:21
building the structures it was a long
1:24
time ago never really get the chance
1:26
to go at this pace looking downward like
1:38
this got enough clearance 8 ft 6 in
1:38
plenty of
1:45
rad take a look at the Moon up there
1:45
peeking through the cloud a lot of
1:47
clouds up there also plenty of parking
1:50
up here on the roof level five is
1:52
usually my go-to I always park on the
1:55
top of the stru orange structure the
1:57
balloon will not be flying tonight I'm
2:00
guessing because it's very very windy
2:03
Well w windier than normal my goal today
2:07
is just want to walk around enjoy the
2:09
evening the weather is
2:12
nice check out some merchandise and
2:16

2:21
trading here you go looking
2:26
down on Disney Springs formerly Downtown
2:28
Disney sometime I slip up and still call
2:30
it downtown Disney now Downtown Disney
2:32
is still the name they utilize over in
2:35
Anaheim but this is much larger and
2:37
encompasses a greater footprint of Walt
2:41
Disney World property known as Disney
2:44
Springs been called that for heck of a
2:46
long time now so it's good that I've
2:48

Springs on Christmas
5:19
Eve oh yes it is hard to believe the

5:27
to believe that the year will be over in
5:29
a little a little more than a week oh
5:31
this one has a bunch of pumpkins this is
5:32
almost like oh this is Nightmare Before

5:38
Christmas and there's zero top in the

little volcano at the top oh this is
5:47

5:52
Disney for I think I hit World of Disney
5:54
the GI big gift shop up first oh look at
5:56
the rather large tree right here in this
5:58
Courtyard this this is definitely not
6:00
part of the Christmas tree stroll but a
6:03
very impressive tree right here in the
6:04
middle oh in fact it is part of it this
6:06
is the Town Center tree right here where
6:08
they do live snoke sometimes too so
6:11
Christmas tree stroll
6:13
2023 you can see there's a there's a lot
6:16
of people out here got the balloons all
6:18
out in full force and so are the
6:29
crowds that's the lime garage over there
6:29
hardly ever Park in the lime garage I
6:31
don't know why it's just always been
6:32
team orange when it comes to the parking
6:35
situation out here at

30% off these ears also yes right around
7:08
the corner
7:15
2024 not 23 24 will be here soon got to
7:15
decide on which one of the 2024 Disney
7:18
merch shirts that I want I don't think
7:20
I'm going to buy one tonight I still got
7:21
a little over a week but I don't don't
7:23
like that one this is a little too warm
7:26
too kind of like that if it was in like
7:28
a t-shirt style this is the back
7:31
actually what's the front look like oh
7:32
that's interesting it's a it's a it's a
7:35
back print design this is small on the
7:37
front kind of like a like a biker shirt
7:40
now I don't think it's for sale it's
7:41
just for looks but take a look at this
7:42
canvas well looks like canvas piece of
7:45
art here with the montal going through
7:46
the Contemporary that's pretty neat one
7:49
thing I do not need though is more
7:50
shirts and my process of moving one of
7:52
the last things I got to go through is
7:54
the closet and I have so many t-shirts a
7:57
lot of them I think I'm going to take
7:58
over to Hope thrift and and drop off
8:01
here in the next few days I really don't
8:03
need any more shirts for now but I'm
8:04
sure I'll buy shirts eventually but
8:07
maybe I don't need a 2024 shirt yeah
8:09
it's just hard to believe that the the
8:11
the Christmas is just tomorrow as I'm
8:13
filming this here at the marious
8:17
place
8:19
H oh duck the Halls that's that's pretty
8:23
dang cute never noticed this one before
8:25
duck the
8:28
Halls
8:33
as I'm exiting out of World of Disney
8:33
they have some old artwork here so he
8:35
says World of Disney this is on the way
8:37
out check out this marble Christmas
8:38
sweater there too so you got the rest of
8:41
Springs out there but this is
8:43
interesting so teeth used very seldom
8:46
says it right there I guess Mickey you
8:48
hardly ever see teeth in Mickey very
8:50
seldomly I never thought about that but
8:52
you're right very rarely do you ever see
8:55
teeth on
8:57
Mickey even though it is Christmas see I
9:00
think that Stitch is still spitting on
9:02
guest got guest walk under Stitch and
9:05
Stitch will like he'll just spit on
9:07
Stitch doesn't give an f yeah Stitch is
9:10
kind of like the new version of the
9:11
honey
9:12
badger over here by eara sandwich
9:15
another Christmas tree and of course the
9:17
pen Trading Store now you can purchase
9:19
pens in here mostly it's just for
9:20
purchasing but they do have some that
9:22
you can trade at the counters and I do
9:23
need to get a 2024 pen I'm probably just
9:26
going to buy one I'm not going to buy
9:27
all of them I already have a collection
9:28
of different New Year's pins but I think
9:30
I'm going to buy that on New Year's Eve
9:32
or maybe New Year's Day most likely all
9:35
right let's take a look over here at the
9:37
pin board see if there's anything I
9:39
could
9:40
use not seeing
9:43
anything all right had no luck with the
9:45
pin trading in there I'll keep looking
9:46
around but I ended up finding three pins
9:48
that I did not have I'll show the pin
9:50
Hall at the end of the evening he always
9:54
remember that hearts and kidneys are
9:56
Tinker Toys now this store over here has
9:59
Christmas

365 days a year I did not put up any
10:03
Christmas decorations this year next
10:05

10:06
probably end up purchasing a tree and
10:09
start putting up some Christmas decor
10:11

10:13
busy with the move and whatnot but next

10:56
ski lessons yeah oh is the volcano about
10:59
to go off I got to see if the volcano's
11:01
going to erupt over here I think it is
11:03
all right it might not be ready to erupt
11:05
but the the gator over here might want
11:07
to say hello and say a little Merry
11:09

12:03
different angle boy if you're up there
12:05
on the balcony of that hotel you get a
12:07
really good view of the festivities that
12:10
are about to rup from the top of the
12:12
volcano on Christmas Eve and holy cow I
12:17
stand corrected the balloon is up that
12:21
thing is blowing in Blowing in the Wind
12:22
but yeah the balloon is up over there
12:25
I'll walk that
12:26
direction all right I thought this thing

was going to R but I guess maybe not
12:30
maybe it's not oh the boats are out the
12:31
little ampars are out too boy everything
12:34
is just complete it's a beehive of
12:36
activity out here
12:38
tonight except the volcanoes not working
12:42
all right making my way walking past up
12:45
towards and I'm going to take a left and
12:46
go past boat house and that's kind of a
12:48
neat little nod to Spring see Disney

12:56
caffeinated beverage Christmas Eve
12:58
Edition see what they got pot peppermint

13:05
festive yeah look at that thing rising
13:08
up over the top of the Edison there in
13:11
real
13:16
time and above the top of this building
13:16
which is a recreation of the Max Factor
13:18
building and on Hollywood and Highland
13:21
which you can look at thing kind of
13:23
going in the breeze right there yeah the
13:25
Max Factor building which is now the
13:26
Hollywood Museum on the corner of Wood
13:29
Highland that's what this this
13:30
restaurant here Maria and Enzo is a
13:33
recreation of a pretty lengthy line
13:35
waiting for tickets over here at the
13:37
balloon so probably not going to end up
13:39
doing
13:48
that I'm over in the Marvel store check
13:48
out Nutcracker Hulk right here and they
13:50
also have these stockings in here also
13:53
not really having any luck on the pin
13:54
trading though they all have pin trading
13:56
boards but none of them none of the pin
13:58
they have on them are really kind of
13:59
jumping out of me candy cauldron has a
14:02
really lengthy line there got a tree
14:05
right there as well this restaurant I
14:07
think just open this used to be Gloria
14:09
EST stefon's place but now it's
14:10
something different I remember back in
14:12
the day when Splitsville this bowling
14:14
alley right here used to be virgin mega
14:16
store used to get a lot of horror DVDs a
14:19
lot of DVDs in there had a good
14:20
selection and here's yet another one of
14:22
the Christmas tree stroll oh a little
14:24
behind the scenes of makinging some
14:26
candied apples here
14:29
look at
14:30
that it's a very sugary sweet look at
14:33
this they use floss sugar ready to use
14:35
cotton candy mix down there to make the
14:38
cotton candy and there's the cotton
14:40
candy machine right there she's dumping
14:42
it in look she putting right in the
14:44
middle get a little behind the scenes on
14:46
how cotton candy is made it comes out of
14:48
like something almost like a milk carton
14:50
and then she stirs it up and it makes
14:51
this delicious looking pink cotton candy
14:54
look at this just PES it out of there
14:56
like that balls it up throws it in a bag
15:00
and they sell it
15:02
interesting seems like the holidays have
15:03
been going on for so long I'm going to
15:05
be kind of sad when they're over that
15:07
would be kind of sad when they're
15:09
over the band performing over here
15:12
drawing quite a crowd I went to the top
15:15
of the cocacola Rooftop Bar kind of
15:18
looking down upon the entire property
15:21
over here and kind of get a visual
15:23
layout of the L from up here from the
15:24
Planet Hollywood perspective I got to be
15:26
honest I'm really surprised that the
15:28
balloon is going up and down cuz it is
15:30
really Gusty tonight there has been less
15:32
Gusty days where the balloon was not
15:34
running maybe I don't know I doubt
15:37
they're making an exception because the
15:38
line is so long and got chicken guy down
15:40
there I had chicken guy when I was out
15:42
here about a week ago with some friends
15:43
we had chicken guy we sat one of the
15:44
outdoor tables highly recommend some
15:47
chicken guy yeah it is like a full-on
15:50
party mode down there by the fountain
15:51
with the band playing I mean people are
15:53
just dancing and having a great time
15:55
that's so
16:03
okay now it's turned into more of a line
16:03
dance they're not skanking as
16:06
much now it's more of a a line dance
16:08
kind of thing look it's like a full-on
16:15
party going
16:15
up one down where it is not working but
16:19
this one
16:42
interesting how the escalators only go
16:42
to the fourth
16:43
floor so from the fourth to the fifth
16:46
floor got to either take an elevator or
16:49
the
16:50
stairs I'm often
16:53
or
16:55
stairs look at that thing it's like
16:58
sitting at an angle cuz of the
17:00
wind I think if it was a little less
17:03
busy the Ling wish would I probably
17:05
would have done it just to say I did it
17:08
on Christmas Eve but I opted out of
17:11
it I'm going to head home and watch a
17:14
Christmas film not really sure what I'm
17:16
going to do tomorrow yet I might hit one
17:17
of the parks it might be a glutton for
17:19
punishment see what the see what it's
17:21
like in one of the WW parks for
17:25
day kind of leaning towards that not
17:28
going to be doing a family Christmas
17:29
with my mom my dad or my sister my
17:31
sister already left
17:38
town we opened the presents last week my
17:38
mom made a huge shorish Borg of
17:42
delectable turkey goodness mash
17:45
potatoes green bean casserole stuffing
17:48
all that she's not going to be doing
17:50
that tomorrow my mom and dad are going
17:51
to be doing their own
17:57
thing it's kind of weird I don't think
17:57
I've ever had a a Christmas Day prior to
18:00
Christmas before but this year it
18:02
happened so tomorrow I am I'm not going
18:05
to be
18:06
doing I'm not going to be doing
18:08
Christmas on Christmas day cuz I did it
18:10
last week little unusual A little
18:12
unorthodox but that's going to do it for
18:14
today from Christmas Eve as I'm filming
18:17
this here at Disney
18:20
Springs a windy but not too windy look
18:24

the year is almost over a little more
18:44

18:48
will be rearing its
18:50
head trying to just kind of stall out
18:54
the end of the video Until the balloon
18:56
goes down that's not a balloon was
18:58
Planet Hollywood I like the old Planet
19:00
Hollywood better now the guy Fier kind
19:03
of took it over it's not as kitchy as it
19:05
once was it used to be really quirky and
19:07
kind of odd still has some movie
19:09
artifacts and stuff but it's not really
19:11
it's not the 9s version of Planet
19:13
Hollywood that I remember nonetheless
19:16
I'll see you in the next video Have a
19:18
Holly Jolly
