the sound of a garbage truck taking care

0:12
the beauty of the sunrise over there

to cross your fingers while
1:28
holding this piping hot caffeinated
1:31
crossing my fingers that i will get in
1:35
i don't see there's going to be any
1:36
issue let me explain
1:38
what i mean by that i purchased a ticket
1:42
last year for disneyland resort and
1:45
because i had the
1:47
wherewithal to do that i was able to get
1:50
into the first
1:51
wave of the reservation system
1:55
i thought i heard something over there
1:58
i thought i heard some rumblings look at
1:59
this the fountain isn't even on
2:02
yeah that's how early it is wdw
2:06
burbank saint petersburg captiva island
2:11

2:19
on the 12th of this month i was able to
2:23
get a reservation because i already had
2:26
a ticket
2:26
where everyone else had to purchase
2:28
tickets on the 15th
2:30
and get a reservation most people well
2:33

2:35
that i know did get hello squirrel
2:38
scrolls everywhere right here did get
2:42
tickets and reservations if not for the
2:44
first day
2:45

2:49
as of right now have in my possession
2:53
a ticket and a reservation
2:56
documented with a qr code an email a
2:59
confirmation

3:14
yeah the following day i have
3:16
disney california adventure so i'll be
3:17
going to both parks not park hopping
3:20
one park per day and that's it
3:24
i'm not gonna be in california for very
3:27
long
3:27
flying back prior to then
3:31
check on my home that i have in orange
3:33
county california
3:35
which a lot sometimes i even forget
3:39
that i have a place on both on both
3:41
coasts
3:42
i moved to hollywood well i lived in
3:45
orange county
3:46
california back in 2015 and 2016 that i
3:49
moved
3:50
for about a year i was on the road those
3:51
are the rv days
3:53
short-lived rv days
3:56
traveled quite a bit in there but even
3:58
before the rvs i had
3:59
rv days i had my van for years multiple
4:02
years
4:02
slept in the back of a van it's crazy to
4:04
even think about
4:11
also i have given this duck a name
4:11
the duck over here that is a stationary
4:15
duck let me zoom in i'm adjusting the
4:18
camera here
4:28
okay you see there's a duck there that
4:28
does not move it is a decoy
4:31
fake duck that duck's name i'm going to
4:34
refer to him
4:35
as howard howard
4:38
the duck those who know
4:42
know
4:55
classic film who could forget
4:55
well if you haven't seen it you have
4:57
nothing to forget but who
4:59
if you if you recall the diner scene
5:03
or the villain at the end of that it's
5:06
amazing howard deducted film nonetheless
5:09
i digress
5:10
squirrel i'm going to disneyland
5:15
two days one disneyland one dca
5:19
now i do have a lot of cast member
5:23
friends i know quite well acquaintances
5:29
that have achieved
5:32
a cast member preview day squirrel
5:36
and i have been invited
5:39
to go attend those as well i believe
5:42
there are three different ones i will
5:43
most likely only be going to one and
5:46
that is with
5:48
i'm saying that with kind of a little
5:51
bit of a grain of salt because i don't
5:52
if i'm gonna if i'm gonna get into that
5:55
or
5:56
if even filming isn't even gonna be
5:58
allowed or photos i think that that even
6:00
for
6:02
if i end up getting into the cast member
6:04
preview cast members are allowed to
6:06
invite
6:06
guests and i have been invited
6:11
and if i'm allowed to film i will film a
6:14
little bit
6:15
but i would really like to save the hype
6:18
the excitement
6:19
so maybe i'll just pepper in and maybe
6:21
give a narration
6:22
over the cast member if
6:25
preview if i can get into that however
6:29
it is 100 that i have a ticket
6:32
confirmed for disneyland i'm just like
6:35
rambling too much
6:36
all that aside
6:43
put that away from your mindset well
6:43
keep it in there because i stated it
6:45
there's a dang good possibility i will
6:47
be in prior
6:48
to april 30th if
6:51
well it may be documented it may not be
6:53
nonetheless
6:54
the 30th will be documented
6:58
if i'm inside i say if because the whole
7:02
california resident rule
7:06
is a very big gray area now it seems
7:09
like it would be very cut and dry
7:12
yeah you just show up with your
7:14
california id
7:16
if they require it now the websites
7:19
everything i have read
7:20
every single thing i have read if you
7:23
look it up
7:24
states proof of residency may be
7:27
required that is the way hello
7:32
that is the way what do you think bird
7:34
you gonna make the flight
7:44
so bird they are stating well
7:44
all of the southern california theme
7:46
parks are stating proof of residency
7:49
may be required that goes for six flags
7:52
which has been open for a couple weeks
7:54
universal which has been open for a
7:55
couple of weeks
7:56
and i've talked to a many a friend
8:01
out there who have gone to those places
8:04
and they are not they are not checking
8:06
any ids
8:08
at either either universal or at six
8:10
flags meaning
8:12
if you have a ticket or a reservation
8:14
you can just go
8:15
so i am wondering
8:18
if because of the
8:22
you know the amount of people that will
8:23
show up to disneyland the first couple
8:25
days
8:26
will the cast members even be required
8:29
to check or to prove or
8:33
yeah you're there see you're thinking
8:34
about this
8:36
chat's probably back away you're
8:37
probably saying get away from me man
8:39
all right
8:47
oh my gosh i think there's a gator over
8:47
there
8:48
see the water moving oh no it's one of
8:50
your friends
8:52
it's one of those other like stork-like
8:54
creatures
8:56
that
9:02
okay hold on look at this we got a
9:02
friend coming in
9:04
okay now it's submerged itself it's gone
9:09
it had a neck protruded oh there it is
9:11
right there
9:18
friend or foe foul is that your friend
9:18
or your foe
9:22
i get distracted very easily
9:34
fountain's not on music's not playing
9:34
over here usually there's music playing
9:35
and the fountain's on
9:37
and there are a lot of people running
9:38
around through the fountain
9:44
okay bird thanks for reminding me gotta
9:44
get back to the subject at hand
9:47
now i am a california resident
9:55
lived in orange county for two years 15
9:55
and 16.
9:56
moved to hollywood in summer of
10:00
17 have not left
10:03
still pay utilities internet
10:07
well my phone is you know all over the
10:08
place because i travel
10:11
gas bill and rent that i have paid
10:15
for the last four plus years every month
10:18
which i have documentation of all that
10:21
the
10:21
the weird gray area is
10:24
i now as of this moment have a current
10:29
florida driver's license california
10:32
driver's license
10:33
i do not have a current one at this
10:36
moment
10:38
now if that is the if that is what the
10:41
only thing that is going to be required
10:43
is that i am out of luck
10:44
however i do have my florida id
10:48
even though i am coast to coast resident
10:52
and have the bills to prove it i could
10:54
take a stack
10:55
of bills from my place in orange county
10:57
that is only about two
10:59
miles three miles or so from disneyland
11:01
if i wanted to take a long walk i could
11:03
take a long walk
11:05
down there i think that makes me a
11:08
resident playing
11:09
paying two thousand
11:13
plus dollars in rent well until my
11:16
roommate moved in and started to
11:20
help with the bills over 2 000 a month
11:23
in rent
11:24
out there but i don't know for sure
11:28
and i am setting myself up for
11:29
disappointment
11:31
and what that means is i don't know if i
11:33
get there if i get to the gate and they
11:35
say
11:36
no no no this is not
11:39
happening then i will just
11:43
go back take my two mile trek
11:46
back to the homestead that i pay rent on
11:48
in
11:49
southern california located within close
11:52
proximity to disneyland
11:55
and say
11:58
that's just how it is that's just how it
12:01
is squirrel
12:03
but i don't think there's going to be an
12:04
issue so what i'm going to do oh man you
12:06
are chowing down on those leaves that's
12:07
not even food
12:09
that's just leaves what are you doing
12:18
so that's the game plan i'm going to fly
12:18
out
12:19
in i don't know a few days i can't
12:22
remember what day but i'm flying out
12:23
prior to the openings i'm going to go to
12:25
universal studios hollywood
12:28
i'm i missed opening day but i'm going
12:30
to go i have a reservation for there
12:32
here's another thing even when it comes
12:34
to the reservation system i was able to
12:37
buy an extra ticket
12:38
i did get the one on the 12th got the
12:39
reservation but on the 15th i bought
12:41
another one
12:41
for dca for the following day and got a
12:45
reservation for that
12:46
so the system allowed me to do it
12:49
even though my current billing address
12:52
i'm just look hold on let me zoom in on
12:53
this
13:01
my current billing address is in florida
13:01
see the duck over there
13:02
howard i would
13:06
have assumed that if they were trying to
13:08
regulate
13:10
that they would have done something in
13:12
the system
13:21
that would make it easier instead of
13:21
just stating
13:24
may be required proof of residency may
13:27
be required so
13:28
i am taking that as any form of id
13:32
or proof or bill that falls into that
13:35
category
13:37
that is my proof of residency if it is
13:39
so needed i am gonna say if i was a
13:41
betting man
13:42
i'm gonna say that there is a 90
13:45
chance that that will not even be
13:48
an issue or checked but if it is i am
13:51
ready to accept that
13:52
and accept the the outcome
13:56
that will happen from that the main
13:59
reason i'm even really bringing this
14:00
up is when when that moment happens
14:04
when i arrive get in don't get in
14:07
leaning towards getting in
14:08
i don't want to have to explain it how
14:10
it all went down because i know
14:13
some will think how the heck did this
14:15
happen how you live in celebration
14:18
how did you get in to disneyland and
14:21
that is
14:22
for those who are not familiar of a
14:24
place on both coasts which i've stated
14:27
so that's it i don't wanna i don't wanna
14:30
rehash
14:31
or make the situation or explain the
14:34
situation
14:35
the day of because i want it to be all
14:37
about the openings
14:39
now i will not be going full disney
14:43
in anaheim just going to the opening day
14:45
possibly
14:46
a cast preview which might be able to
14:48
take some photos or film
14:49
depending on what they say i haven't
14:52
heard that there's any
14:53
anything stating you can't without a day
14:57
or two before
14:58
and then the 30th opening and then very
15:00
first dca
15:02
so both parks document them and then
15:05
move on from that scenario until
15:08
basically until
15:09
late summer and into well maybe one or
15:12
two days pepperdine
15:13
but got a lot of road trip a lot of road
15:16
trips
15:16
planned i do not want to give any
15:18
spoilers or go into great detail
15:20
those will not be happening quite yet
15:23
but
15:24
could be could be one happening into may
15:28
and then there might be another one into
15:31
july
15:33
i'm hoping that i will do two
15:37
road trips this year that i will look
15:40
back on
15:41
as monumental experiences
15:44
that not only for the channel but for my
15:47
personal life i know
15:49
i know the disney content has been very
15:51
heavy i've been laying it on
15:53
pretty thick my apologies for those who
15:56
are not
15:57
into that i i get it ice i can see that
16:00
but with anything i do i always i always
16:03
do something i go all in on something
16:05
and then i tire of it and then i mix
16:07
things up and change things up
16:09
there will always be a balance here on
16:11
this channel even though i
16:12
know right now it's leaning heavily
16:14
towards wdw but i'm very excited
16:17
i'm a recent stockholder recently moved
16:19
to celebration florida
16:21
recently renewed my ap for disney world
16:24
and i just try to stay busy i get up and
16:25
i think
16:26
oh there's something cool i can go film
16:27
at the parks while i'm researching they
16:29
have some filming locations which
16:31
you know i don't want to give too many
16:32
spoilers but there are a couple of those
16:35
around these parts and you know later on
16:38
in southern california so there's
16:39
there's a lot on the horizon
16:42
and i appreciate everyone that's just
16:44
sticking around
16:45
staying tuned dealing with this
16:49
mindset this wacky mindset that i have i
16:51
am very difficult to
16:53
understand when it comes to to really
16:56
what this channel is about it's like
16:58
kind of a mixed bag
17:00
so thank you for sticking with me
17:03
and that's that's really about it that's
17:04
just all i wanted to explain and talk
17:06
about today
17:08
i could there could be a video up soon
17:10
from disneyland
17:11
either way i will be flying back to
17:12
southern california to
17:14
check on my place make sure everything
17:16
is good pay a bunch of bills
17:20
as a resident you have to pay rent
17:23
utilities even though the utilities and
17:26
gas i pay all that online
17:27
you know what i'm saying anyway
17:31
just wanted to put that into the
17:32
universe i needed to
17:35
to state it just to get the wheels
17:38
going and if i don't get in
17:42
or if i do get in now the reason has
17:45
been documented
17:46
that's that's the real that's that's
17:48
it's good to put everything out there
17:51
so that's it
18:00
right squirrel what are your thoughts
18:00
what are your thoughts squirrel
18:04
you don't have any thoughts you just
18:04
want to like start keep digging around
18:06
for some
18:07
some chow
18:25
i mean the future i'm excited about the
18:25
future
18:27
i'm just talking about disneyland that's
18:29
great i like to document that for
18:31
posterity obviously it's a historic
18:33
event probably the single most
18:35
important opening that disneyland has
18:38
had
18:39
since july 17 1955 when walt himself
18:43
had the speech there in front of the
18:45
train station
18:47
near the flagpole city hall all that
18:51
so i want to be there i want to be there
18:52
for it
18:54
ah man it's i get a little a little bit
18:58
emotional even thinking about you know
19:01
what could what what i could be feeling
19:02
at that moment
19:03
so feeling it now but maybe i'll be
19:07
standing on harbor boulevard
19:10
with a ticket and reservation in hand
19:13
and a
19:14
you know a gray area that
19:18
that caused a little bit of a hiccup
19:21
that's that would be fine too i'm sure i
19:23
will not be the only one
19:25
if it comes down to that standing on
19:26
harbor boulevard
19:28
with a slight tear in their eye
19:31
listening to walt's speech
19:38
on their phone
19:38
but i'd like to be on main street usa
19:40
doing that
19:46
with my friends the other kindred
19:46
spirits
19:47
those who have a passion for for
19:49
disneyland and
19:50
walt's original magic kingdom and dream
20:10
you would never get on a plane and head
20:10
out back to anaheim
20:12
but i have a home out there
20:19
yeah it's like you know close close
20:21
a couple miles i know when i had my bike
20:24
i could
20:25
well you're not even listening anymore
20:26
i'm talking to myself oh you want to
20:27
listen you want to listen squirrel you
20:28
want to listen about when i had my bike
20:30
and i would just ride around
20:31
disneyland resort proper
20:58

20:58
squirrel
20:59
got a lot of road trip ideas not
21:02

21:17
squirrels oh yeah one last thing let me
21:19

21:19
put this down officially i am going to
21:22
