0:02 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 trade some pins maybe grab a bite to eat
2:19 maybe do some pin
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 started getting used to to saying that
2:50 here's a few of the pens that I brought
2:52 about six six different pens I'm going
2:53 to trade these are ones I have doubles
2:54 of I took a photo of my pin board just

2:59 to complete Collections and just trying
3:01 to get certain there's certain ones that
3:02 I collect but these are all ones I have
3:04 double of so I bring these find a pin
3:07 board somewhere on anywhere at the
3:09 Disney World Resorts Parks or Disney

5:13 under casual night at the Springs Disney
5:17 Springs on Christmas
5:19 Eve oh yes it is hard to believe the
5:24 Christmas is already here man it's hard
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
5:34 Christmas you got the Frog's breath

5:44 little volcano at the top oh this is
5:47 Moana yeah check it out that's the Moana
5:49 tree going to continue over to World of
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
6:37 Springs oh got some serious discounts
6:40 going on half off Star Wars pillows take
6:43 me to The Cantina and also 30% off

7:04 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
10:00 365 days a year I did not put up any
10:03 Christmas decorations this year next
10:05 year I'm going to put I'm going to
10:06 probably end up purchasing a tree and
10:09 start putting up some Christmas decor

10:53 businesses through here and Goofy also
10:55 has a candy shop when he's not giving
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 Christmas Eve to everyone possibly oh

11:55 can now hear there's about to be an a
11:58 eruption over there at the rainforest I
12:01 got to film it from a distance a
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
12:28 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

12:53 joffre's give myself a piping hot
12:56 caffeinated beverage Christmas Eve
12:58 Edition see what they got pot peppermint
13:01 latte
13:04 achieved
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 it's it's going down it's heading down

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
