Exploring Disney World By Boat

Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:02
the recording of this TGIF. It is
0:05
Friday, October 17th, 2025.
0:09
I am going to sport the big brimmed hat
0:12
today because I am going to rent or at
0:14
least attempt to rent a pontoon boat at
0:17
Walt Disney World and go around Bay Lake
0:20
and Seven Seas Lagoon. Now, they used to
0:23
rent them from the Polynesian Resort.
0:24
They no longer do that, but I'm hoping
0:27
that one of the other resorts will rent
0:30
the pontoon boats. So, probably head
0:32
over to the Contemporary. If they do not
0:34
rent them there, head over to Fort
0:36
Wilderness.
0:38
Maybe I'll get on a pontoon. I have I
0:40
have high hopes. It's been a couple
0:42
years since I've gone around Lagoon,
0:44
gone around 7C's. Things have changed. A
0:48
little update and a nice little day
0:50
wearing a big brim hat
0:52
on the open waters of Walt Disney World.
0:54
I'm inviting you to join me, shall you?
0:58
Underneath the archway.
1:04
It's interesting over at the entrance to
1:04
Epcot Center, they put speed humps
1:06
leading up to the parking area. But in
1:09
Magic Kingdom, they haven't installed
1:11
the speed humps yet. Or maybe they
1:12
won't. So, I park it over here and then
1:14
I'm going to go to the pontoons.
1:34
Monroe going by.
1:34
Tram also
1:36
going by
1:43
and automobile
1:43
going by.
1:46
Nice little breeze out. The only thing
1:49
that's going to deter me from renting
1:50
the boat is if they don't rent them
1:52
anymore. Again, the Polynesian does not
1:53
rent them, but I was looking online and
1:57
evidently Grand Fian does. So, I'll
2:00
probably head over there, take the
2:01
resort Montreal over there. If storm
2:03
started brewing, that might end up
2:05
changing the projected path of pontoon
2:09
rental.
2:15
I've decided to just to walk instead of
2:15
taking the Montreal.
2:18
Cut through the poly
2:20
and over to Grand Flidian.
2:23
Big brimmed hat
2:27
achieved.
2:29
Sporting it. Might not need it though
2:31
because of the the clouds. Be nice to
2:33
have some shade. All right. As far as
2:36
weather goes, I typed in Bay Lake. I'll
2:38
be going out on Bay Lake and Seven Seas
2:40
Lagoon. showing a little overcastness.
2:42
79 degrees currently. Going to get up to
2:44
81 by 1, two, three, and 4 pm.
2:47
So, let's call it a 80 degree day with
2:50
slight cloud cover. Now, in the past,
2:51
I've always rented them here from the
2:53
Polynesian Resort. But in the last
2:55
couple years, I haven't rented one. And
2:56
since then, they have closed down this
2:58
area, just using it for cast member
2:59
boats and security. And that little
3:01
shack vestibule over there, I'm
3:03
building, which was the rental facility,
3:05
is no longer renting pontoon. So, I got
3:07
to go to the next resort over, which is
3:09
the Grand Flidian in Rland. Yep. Going
3:11
to be going out on the open sea. Getting
3:13
a view here from the beach. In fact, I
3:16
don't think I've been out on 7C or Bay
3:18
Lake since they started building the new
3:19
DVC tower, which I stayed on, stayed at
3:21
recently, within the last week or two.
3:26
Another Montreal going by.
3:28
And I should get a good peek at where
3:30
River Country used to be if the pontoons
3:33
are running. and be able to see where
3:35
the new DVC tower where River Country
3:37
used to be is being constructed. I
3:38
should get an up close personal view
3:40
with pilot from the water. Just a little
3:42
bit of a walk from TTC, especially
3:44
parking out where I parked past the
3:46
Polynesian Resort and over to Grand
3:47
Fian. But good to get some steps in cuz
3:50
I'm going to be sitting on a boat for a
3:52
good while. So, always good to stretch
3:53
the legs before sitting for a good
3:54
amount of time. Now, this is the spot
3:57
right here.
3:59
They said they have one left, but there
4:02
are a few out. They say most people do
4:03
not stay out more than an hour. It's
4:05
prorated.
4:06
I think it's $50 $49.99 per hour and
4:10
then you prorrate it after the first
4:11
hour. They say most people only stay out
4:12
an hour. So worst case, I'm waiting on a
4:14
buddy to show up. He just parked at TTC,
4:16
Transportation Ticket Center, making his
4:18
way over on the Montreal Loop. And then
4:20
we will get ourselves a pontoon. And if
4:23
the one is out, then we'll just wait a
4:24
half hour till other people show back
4:27
up. So, I'm going to head into the
4:30
heavily under construction lobby of the
4:33
Grand Fian beforehand. And here's the
4:35
price point. I stand corrected. It is
4:37
twice as much as I thought it was. It is
4:38
$49 for a half hour. So, an hour would
4:40
be $100, give or take a dollar. And then
4:43
every minute after that, they prorrate
4:45
it for that point. So, if we were out an
4:48
hour and a half, it would be 150 bucks.
4:50
I'm guessing we'll probably be out an
4:52
hour and a half. All right, I'll come
4:53
back over here later. Yes, it is a
4:55
beehive of construction activity in here
4:57
inside the Grand Fian coming up for the
5:00
Christmas season. They are not, or at
5:02
least I heard they're not going to be
5:04
doing the gingerbread house in here, but
5:06
I'm curious to see if they're going to
5:07
do anything gingerbready inside of here.
5:11
Gingerbread house usually sits right
5:12
over here, but they are vastly changing
5:15
the landscape. That's what's happening
5:18
from the second floor view looking down.
5:22
Look like they're building a not sure
5:24
what that is. Like a little atrium or a
5:25
little I don't know a bar of some sort.
5:30
Interesting. I miss back in the day when
5:33
they used to have a band like they have
5:35
a full band up here playing music. They
5:38
haven't had that in a long time. I think
5:39
since before 2020 2021 they haven't
5:43
brought them back by the gingerbread
5:44
house. usually right here. Again, from
5:47
what I've heard, they're not going to
5:48
have it this year for the the holiday
5:50
season, which is the first year they're
5:52
not going to have it here inside the
5:54
lobby in a long far back as I can
5:56
remember. It's like a staple of this
5:57
place. But construction update overload
6:00
happening, not just in the resorts, but
6:02
in the parks. All right, looks as if
6:03
someone is returning theirs.
6:07
Gems here. Dune buggy gem.
6:09
>> Here we go.
6:10
>> We're going to go out on the open seas.
6:11
The seven seas.
6:12
>> Seven seas. Is there pirates out here?
6:15
>> Just us. We didn't bring We didn't bring
6:17
our outfits.
6:19
>> We could have.
6:20
>> I want to drive that boat right there,
6:22
man.
6:22
>> I think that's just for cast members.
6:23
Security cast members.
6:25
>> He's checking on the pontoons.
6:27
>> He sees the pirates arriving.
6:36
Montreal going by. Lay out of the land.
6:36
So, we can go start over here. Grand
6:38
Fian, Seven Seas, go to the Pali, go
6:42
over by Wilderness Lodge, go by Bay Lake
6:44
Temporary, get a good view of Magic
6:47
Kingdom. We can do a loop around the
6:50
abandoned Discovery Island. Go over to
6:52
Fort Wilderness. You can hit the
6:54
perimeter of Bay Lake. Seven seas
6:56
man-made. Bay Lake. It's been here
6:59
before the park was built.
7:02
And then right over here in this cusp
7:04
used to be river country and now that's
7:06
Hey, how you doing?
7:07
>> Doing great.
7:09
>> Thank you.
7:09
>> No problem.
7:10
>> Oh, it's all good.
7:14
>> Don't put that on our bill.
7:16
>> Yeah,
7:17
>> it's a rental [laughter]
7:20
going to be the waste.
7:22
>> That was really good. I promise you.
7:31
>> Getting ready to go out to sea. Make
7:31
sure it's in neutral.
7:34
>> You're going to put in reverse.
7:39
You can give it a little bit more gas if
7:39
you'd like.
7:57
Let Jim take it out to see since this is
7:57
his first time. Also, they request that
7:59
you do not film when you're behind the
8:02
captain's chair.
8:03
>> Only as a passenger. So,
8:06
>> gas.
8:15
>> How's it feel?
8:15
>> It's a little different.
8:18
>> It's not the dune buggy. [laughter]
8:23
>> Straight on out there.
8:24
>> Do you ever think you'd be driving a
8:25
boat at the lagoon at Walt Disney World?
8:27
I did not.
8:32
>> All right, here we go.
8:32
>> Let's go.
8:49
They also do fishing excursions.
8:49
They have a blue Sun Tracker pontoon for
8:52
that. The guide takes you out. You catch
8:55
fish and stuff.
9:22
Someone right now on that Montreal is
9:22
asking their friend andor brother,
9:24
sister, or parents, "Why is there a boat
9:27
out there? HOW DO WE GET ON THAT BOAT? I
9:30
didn't know you could take a boat."
9:31
Well, you can.
9:34
One of my favorite things to do outside
9:36
of the parks
9:38
that is related to Disney World.
9:44
And all these other boats have the
9:44
rideway. all the passenger boats.
9:46
>> So, like where's this one here going?
9:48
Right here.
9:48
>> It's going first to Grand Fian and then
9:50
the Poly and then back. And right back
9:53
here is where the floats are for the
9:56
electric parade on the water. This
9:58
bridge revolves
10:05
back there are the floats or are the
10:05
electric light pageant parade boats.
10:12
Give him a little bit of weight from the
10:12
boat there that just floated the
10:14
passengers over.
10:21
Head around the shoreline here of the
10:21
Grand Fian. Try to get up as close as we
10:24
can to where the old wave machine used
10:26
to be. Wave machine was on this island
10:29
that would pump waves over to the poly.
10:31
And they realized after just a couple
10:34
months of doing, maybe not even a couple
10:35
months, just a short while, that it was
10:37
eroding the beach. So they got rid of
10:39
they got rid of that idea. Yeah. So very
10:42
fascinating. 1971
10:45
WDW history wave machine was right over
10:49
here amongst this foliage. It's since
10:52
grown over now. You can't see it.
11:04
Pontoon's making a beeping noise.
11:04
Right in here was the wave machine and
11:06
it would go towards the Polynesian.
11:08
right there. Fun fact
11:11
history. Also, this is my first angle
11:16
on my own pontoon. I've been on the
11:18
transportation boats and seen it and
11:20
seeing it at a slower pace. The new DVC
11:23
tower the room stayed in the other night
11:26
was right there. Important kind of right
11:28
there with the tip of my glasses. It's
11:29
like right there. And there's the
11:31
wedding pavilion.
11:33
The Grand Fidian
11:36
used to be able to go inside there and
11:38
check it out, but they have since halted
11:40
that that perk.
11:42
You can't just randomly walk in there
11:44
anymore.
11:46
See a little bit of the wall there.
11:48
Somewhere back in there was that wave
11:50
machine.
11:58
You could surf on Seven Seas Lagoon.
11:58
They won't even let you swim in anymore.
11:59
Used to be able to surf. Used to be able
12:01
to water ski.
12:03
All that.
12:05
Not anymore. There's fences up all
12:07
around it.
12:10
>> Somewhere in there is the mechanics of
12:12
that wave machine.
12:15
It's a bird.
12:16
>> Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Oh yeah. Got his wings
12:19
out.
12:45
Yeah. I wonder if anyone's staying up
12:45
there today. The balcony up there.
12:49
>> No crows.
12:50
>> There were so many crows that day. There
12:52
>> was not one today.
12:54
>> Yeah.
12:56
Cuz
13:01
you said the horn doesn't work, right?
13:01
>> Little horn.
13:02
>> Dang. Can't give him a little hawkage.
13:14
Get a lot of good views you don't
13:14
normally get.
13:22
This is turning. This is the perfect day
13:22
weatherwise.
13:24
>> 81°.
13:34
TTC right there.
13:34
Berry boat getting ready to make its way
13:36
over to Magic Kingdom.
13:38
Hey, no mind us. Just cutting through.
13:40
Just cutting through.
13:49
Man, I wish the horn work we could get a
13:49
good shave and a haircut.
13:55
Maybe they'll provide a discount. The
13:56
horn doesn't work.
13:57
>> We do the old semi thing.
13:59
>> Do the old semi.
14:00
>> Yeah, like hop.
14:06
>> They don't even see me.
14:06
>> She's not looking.
14:07
>> Not looking over here.
14:10
>> We got it. Woo. [laughter]
14:15
She was paying attention.
14:15
Yep. The old the old wave to the other
14:18
boat ploy always works.
14:22
We're going to get some good wake now.
14:23
Look at that thing just darting right
14:25
across. I think the other one's coming
14:26
in hot, too. It's getting out of the way
14:28
because Nope. The other one had left the
14:30
dock yet.
14:32
>> All right, let's go. Let's hug the
14:33
corner of this and look for the old
14:35
waterfalls.
14:42
Oh, he's hitting the wave hard.
14:42
He's hitting that wake.
14:49
He's giving us a little wake. He's being
14:49
very kind. So over in here, it used to
14:51
be like rocks and waterfalls, and
14:54
they're still up in there. They've been
14:55
completely covered by foliage.
14:59
There's a slight clearing on this eye.
15:01
Oo, it's coming. The uh the waves, that
15:04
chop, it's hitting hard. A little bit of
15:06
a clearing here. I'm wondering what that
15:07
is up on the little clearing there.
15:20
That would be a fun job. just patrolling
15:20
the seven seas in Bay Lake.
15:31
Oh, there's that old photo view of Goofy
15:31
right here on SevenC's from this angle
15:33
with the Contemporary in the distance.
15:36
He was water skiing right there. That's
15:39
that angle.
15:46
Look at this. Magic Kingdom just right
15:46
there. Oh, wow. They're coming in hot.
15:50
Coming in hot.
16:03
You think they just get bored and they
16:03
just want to drive fast or you think
16:05
they're really going to something?
16:13
They are on patrol. They're watching
16:13
everything though. We're being
16:15
scrutinized very heavily. Everything
16:17
we're doing
16:44
great shot of Magic Kingdom. Look at
16:44
that. Right down the pipe. Getting
17:07
Shaving a haircut.
17:08
No tune.
17:11
The problem is we don't we can't return.
17:12
We can't return the favor. That was just
17:14
a honk. That wasn't a shave and a
17:15
haircut. For me, every horn is a shaven
17:17
haircut. And just look at this. That
17:19
right there. We're just floating right
17:21
in front of Magic Kingdom. We're just
17:23
floating.
17:31
All right. Getting a boat, a Montreal
17:31
slightly in view,
17:35
a Skipper Gilligan's boat going by.
17:38
Space Mountain, and a very speedy that
17:42
does not have a buffer. That's going way
17:45
faster than we can go. Wait a second.
17:48
The blue ones go faster. We got to get a
17:50
blue one next time. Oh, we're going to
17:52
get some wake. We're going to get some
17:54
wake.
17:57
Woo.
18:02
Now we're surfing like Goofy was back in
18:02
the day.
18:04
We're about
18:06
>> We're about to go over the water bridge.
18:07
There's a bridge that goes over a road
18:10
and if you're driving underneath it, you
18:12
would never know there's water above you
18:16
called the water bridge going over us.
18:18
>> What is it?
18:19
>> The Montreal might be going over us.
18:30
>> Water bridge straight ahead.
18:30
Full throttle. Captain,
18:34
>> I'm giving it all she's got. You're
18:37
That's as fast as it goes.
18:38
>> That's it.
18:49
>> Okay, we're hitting a no wake zone.
18:49
We got a no wake it up.
18:53
I
18:53
>> might wait for this boat.
18:55
>> Yeah, take it slow. Let's enjoy the
18:57
water bridge for all in all its glory.
19:00
So, right there, that's a that bridge
19:02
underneath it is a road. And when you
19:04
drive underneath it, going to the
19:05
Contemporary,
19:07
unless you know it's a bridge with
19:09
water, you would never know that there
19:11
were boats going above your head. Once
19:12
you know, you know. But
19:23
what would be great is to get this
19:23
little boat going by and a Montreal.
19:26
Get that nice little angle.
19:30
I don't know if that's going to happen,
19:31
though.
20:10
All right, here we go. Going to get a
20:10
little wake.
20:11
You're a little bumpy.
20:22
There's the cars
20:22
going underneath.
20:30
That's the water bridge.
20:30
One of the coolest things that connects
20:31
Bay Lake to Seven Seas.
20:35
Ah, there we go. There's a Montreal.
20:37
Perfect.
20:43
You'll never drive underneath that ever
20:43
again the same.
20:45
>> Now you know.
20:47
>> That is amazing.
20:47
>> The secret's out.
20:49
>> Doesn't leak or anything.
21:27
You give me a little honk Montreal.
21:27
Give me a little honk.
21:30
No,
21:33
that just happened. That's happening
21:34
right now.
21:36
Right over our heads.
21:39
Too cool.
21:40
>> Right above your head, Joe.
21:48
>> Coming up on Wilderness Lodge now, which
21:48
is adjacent on Bay Lake to Fort
21:51
Wilderness Campground.
21:56
Don't want to get too close to the
21:56
shore. Guess they say that sometimes the
21:59
weeds and stuff will get stuck in the
22:01
motor, slow it down. So, you can hug the
22:05
shore, but don't hug it too closely.
22:26
Going out of frame, the Contemporary.
22:26
And going into the Contemporary, another
22:28
Montreal.
22:38
I feel like the guards on the boats are
22:38
just babysitters for anyone that rents
22:40
the pontoons. What do they do when no
22:42
one's renting a pontoon
22:45
fish?
22:50
And there it is in all its glory. The
22:50
brand new DVC,
22:54
they call it a tower DVC area
22:57
that is standing in the same spot River
22:59
Country, the water park used to be.
23:02
We're going to get right up to it.
23:04
We have the ultimate construction update
23:06
soon enough.
23:09
It was put on hold in 2020 and then a
23:12
couple years ago they decided, you know
23:13
what? Let's take our let's take those
23:15
plans and do it and they started
23:16
building it. Actually, I think it sprung
23:19
up in within the last year. That's the
23:21
dock going from Magic Kingdom and the
23:22
other resorts over to Wilderness Lodge
23:26
right there.
23:29
We'll just kind of cruise around the
23:31
shore here. See what we can see.
23:34
>> Pick them up. Give him a ride.
23:35
>> Pick them up.
23:38
Mock. Yeah. Bird. Yeah. We might be able
23:43
to see the geyser over here. They have
23:46
the geyser up here behind these trees.
23:49
Maybe we'll see the geyser explode. Look
23:51
at this crane. The geyser is usually
23:55
right there, but I don't know how often
23:57
it goes off or if it's even working
24:26
Yeah, I'll imagine the next time I
24:26
probably pass by this or at least rent
24:28
one of these pontoons, this will be
24:30
completely completely finished and I
24:31
will have stayed at this resort. I'd
24:34
imagine probably open in the next year
24:35
or so. Got the A-frames
24:38
coming to fruition there.
24:41
Again, this is where River Country used
24:43
to be, which was a half coronated water
24:45
park, but also half Bay Lake water park.
24:48
And because of, you know, the lake
24:51
water, that was part of the reason it
24:52
closed. There was, you know, algae and
24:53
things like that. It's the at least
24:55
that's what the rumor mill says.
25:05
Nice little construction update here.
25:05
Just cruising along the shoreline.
25:19
If you don't want to rent a pontoon, all
25:19
you got to do is just take one of the
25:22
commuter
25:23
boats that any guest can take from Magic
25:26
Kingdom or Contemporary over to Fort
25:32
The beauty of having this is you can get
25:34
a little closer and you go at your own
25:36
pace. No rush. So, if you just want to
25:39
stop right here and hang out for an
25:40
hour, you can
25:42
wave to the construction guys.
26:20
I'm also kind of curious because of all
26:20
this construction if the shoe tree is
26:22
still out here. I hope the shoe I hope
26:24
they did not get rid of the shoe tree.
26:28
Yeah, River Country was right there.
26:30
Right where that bulldozer is.
26:34
That was River That was one of the
26:36
slides from River Country.
26:48
Now, how wild is this? The float master.
26:48
This thing is durable and
26:52
like floats well enough to hold a
26:55
massive piece of construction equipment.
26:59
How cool is that?
27:00
>> This must be where they're going to put
27:02
a dock.
27:03
>> You think so?
27:04
>> Yeah. Setting those pilings.
27:12
I guess so. That's a high up dock.
27:12
Maybe they got some down.
27:15
>> Oh, true, true.
27:18
>> Oh, the shoe tree is still over here. I
27:20
see the shoe tree.
27:28
>> Dang, that's cool, man. River country no
27:28
more. Erased from existence.
27:31
I mean, it's been closed for decades,
27:33
but
27:37
it was abandoned and sitting there
27:37
rotting away. That float master is so
27:39
cool. That's the ultimate float device.
27:48
Look how big that property goes back.
27:48
It's a big chunk. It's going to be a new
27:50
Disney Vacation Club property.
27:58
Man, I am just fascinated by that float
27:58
master.
28:00
We're moving along, man. Cuz they got
28:02
windows in already. They're trying to
28:03
get that thing sealed up, you know,
28:05
obviously. Then they can start working
28:07
inside.
28:07
>> All right, we're approaching the shoe
28:09
tree. They got the buoy set up. So, the
28:12
shoe tree, from what I heard, is anyone
28:14
that's a skipper or a captain on the
28:17
boats that go from the resorts, like the
28:18
one that's docking over there at
28:20
Wilderness Campground, when they retire,
28:23
the captains and those operating the
28:26
boats come out here, they take their
28:28
shoes and they launch them on the tree.
28:31
That's what I've heard. Now, I've never
28:33
completely fact checked it or been
28:35
confirmed by anyone, but I've always
28:37
heard that that's the case. So, these
28:39
are not guests throwing their shoes on
28:40
the tree. These are Disney World cast
28:43
members that used to
28:45
before they retired
28:48
would take guests back and forth across
28:49
Bay Lake and they've they've thrown
28:51
their shoes on the tree right there.
28:55
>> And you know what else?
28:58
I don't think they were all white to
29:01
start with.
29:02
>> Like sun bleached.
29:03
>> Oh yeah.
29:06
Look at that.
29:09
and they go clear to the top.
29:12
They're just right here hanging out at
29:13
the shoe tree where the new Disney
29:15
Vacation Club Resort is being built.
29:17
That's probably where the That's
29:18
probably going to be the main area where
29:21
the pool is and all that. Oh, wow. It
29:24
goes way over here with these A-frames.
29:28
Goodness,
29:30
it's just taking over the shoreline next
29:32
to Wilderness Campground. So, it's
29:35
wedged between Wilderness Lodge and Fort
29:39
There will come a point, maybe not in my
29:41
lifetime, but there will come a point
29:42
when every inch of Seven Seas Lagoon and
29:45
Bay Lake will be resorts. There will be
29:47
no shoreline left to nature.
30:02
Disney wants everyone to stay on
30:02
property.
30:04
That's the goal.
30:06
>> Maybe these are little single units.
30:10
>> Yeah, maybe these will be like the
30:11
bungalows type of thing.
30:12
>> Yep. Got to be.
30:16
>> Massive.
30:19
Massive complex.
30:24
And then over there looks to be like the
30:24
main building right there in the middle
30:26
of those trees. See it right there?
30:28
Probably the restaurant, check-in desk,
30:30
etc.
30:36
The guy's honking. Just letting everyone
30:36
know they delivered whatever he's
30:38
delivered.
30:48
There it is. The infamous
30:48
infamous infamous.
30:51
It's more than famous. Discovery Island.
30:54
What's what once was Discovery Island.
30:58
You can see parts of the pylons there
31:00
from either the old dock or whatever was
31:04
in that little section. And if you look
31:06
closely into here,
31:10
it's tough to see
31:12
right in there. Wow. Look at that.
31:22
It's like an old dock right there or
31:22
something. That's cool. That's cool.
31:32
Man, that's neat. Got a little chain
31:32
link around it. Little sign saying don't
31:35
go in there.
31:41
That is really cool. That stuff's also
31:41
back in there.
31:50
There's our little birdie watching us
31:50
closely.
31:53
He's like, "Don't even don't even think
31:56
of Oh, he's got to keep watching me from
31:59
100 yards.
32:06
>> You all right? Up in the captain's
32:06
chair.
32:09
You're good.
32:10
>> Doing good.
32:11
>> You loving it?
32:12
>> Loving it. This is the first time I've
32:14
ever driven a boat.
32:16
>> Ever.
32:17
>> Ever. I've done cars, motorcycles,
32:20
planes. Never had the chance to do a
32:22
boat.
32:22
>> Wow. You drove a You flew a plane before
32:25
you drove a boat. Wow.
32:28
>> Most people can't say that.
32:41
All right, I'm behind the wheel now.
32:41
We're getting some choppy seas out here.
32:44
The wind is really picking up and we're
32:46
heading over to the canal
32:48
where the boats go around the back of
32:50
Magic King. See what? So, this is really
32:54
cool. We're here at the canal that leads
32:56
around backstage and the Liberty Bell
33:00
river boat for Seven Seas Lagoon is
33:02
right there. Right back there. Kind of
33:05
hard to see, but it still exists. They
33:07
have not removed it from the back side
33:09
of Magic Kingdom yet.
33:12
You got a little good you got a good
33:13
angle on your phone, right? I'll just
33:14
show I'll show your phone.
33:16
>> that's awesome. Right back there. Some
33:19
other boats over here doing a little
33:21
behind the scenes, but in front of the
33:23
scenes.
33:26
At some point, years and years and years
33:27
ago, they got rid of the submarines
33:30
where 20,000 leagues under the sea subs
33:32
used to be. If you look at old Google
33:35
satellite images, the subs used to be
33:37
right in here as well, like in this area
33:39
between Contemporary and here probably
33:43
20 years ago. And rumor is one of the
33:46
subs they buried. Well, the rest of the
33:48
subs they buried in the golf course way
33:52
over there. I don't know if that's true
33:53
either. That's You always hear these
33:55
rumors.
34:17
Yeah, you can feel it's like not wanting
34:17
to
34:18
>> feeling it now, Mr. Crabs.
34:27
Little congestion going across the water
34:27
for control. Little traffic here. They
34:29
have the ride away.
34:32
Oh, wow.
34:34
We got the commuter
34:37
and we got the pontoon going by. All
35:02
right, back at the dock. We were out for
35:02
80 minutes.
35:04
80 minutes we were out.
35:07
>> We saw it all. We saw it all.
35:08
>> 1080 and you can go all the way.
35:12
>> Now we're getting a different angle
35:13
looking at the water. We were just on
35:15
the water. Now walking around the
35:16
perimeter.
35:18
We have a pirate down. We have a pirate
35:21
down. The tail of the swashbuckling
35:25
seafaring pirate that was lost at sea.
35:28
There's his There's his sword right
35:30
there.
35:31
>> Davy Jones's locker. They went He
35:33
actually did go to Davy Jones's
35:36
locker. We ended up grabbing a bite to
35:38
eat at the Walulu, I think is how you
35:41
pronounce it, the new restaurant that's
35:43
at the bottom of the DVC tower. And had
35:45
a couple different appetizers. I had
35:47
some msubi, but I didn't really like the
35:48
msubi. It wasn't like traditional
35:50
Hawaiian msubi. It was almost more like
35:52
an upscale. They were trying to like
35:53
make it more like a an enhanced sushi
35:56
kind of msubi. So, I don't know if I'd
35:57
ever get the msubi again. We got the
35:59
chicken wings as an appetizer, which was
36:01
amazing. And then Jim got the burger
36:03
which was really good. The Wayfinder
36:04
burger which was I've had before. It was
36:06
really good and he enjoyed it. And I
36:08
ended up having kind of like a a really
36:10
spicy almost like a curry rice based
36:13
chickpeas and sauce mixed with the catch
36:16
of the day fish and it was it was really
36:18
good too as well. So I will probably end
36:20
up getting the fish of the day and the
36:22
uh the curry sauce again cuz that was
36:24
really good. And the chicken wings were
36:25
amazing. And I think now we get done
36:27
eating there. We're going to head
36:29
through here. We're gonna get ourselves
36:31
a doe whip. You've never had a doe whip,
36:33
right?
36:33
>> Never.
36:34
>> Let's get your Dole Whip on. It's a day
36:36
of first for you.
36:37
>> A lot of them.
36:38
>> All right, let's get a little Doe whip
36:40
over here. And then we'll call it a day.
36:42
We We've had a day already. I wish they
36:43
still rented these. Look at that little
36:45
thing. That's like a party. The party
36:48
circle boat there that we used to go out
36:49
on seven days.
36:51
>> Back in the day.
36:52
>> I always love that photo of Walt Lily in
36:54
there, too. They're Polynesian.
36:57
Polynesian garb as well.
37:00
>> This camera.
37:03
>> Down low.
37:03
>> Oh yeah. You know what? I never noticed
37:05
that. It's got the box camera.
37:06
>> It's got the camera right there.
37:09
Yeah, they should bring these back.
37:12
Now, I don't like to discuss business on
37:14
the LAI, but I will eat pineapple on the
37:17
lai. That's a movie quote. Fletch. Well,
37:21
not the dough whip, but the lenai.
37:23
You got a couple different options. She
37:25
got 20 left of it. Dove whip pineapple.
37:29
You can also get vanilla or swirl. I'm
37:31
going to do the swirl. Orange whip.
37:38
>> Pineapple and I only a couple people in
37:38
front of us. Just going to grab which
37:42
which one are you going to get? The
37:43
pineapple or the vanilla or the swirl?
37:45
>> Going in.
37:47
>> Oh, it's hollow. Look at that.
37:49
>> Hollow.
37:51
>> Oh, that's good. Yeah,
37:53
>> that's real good. Glad you like it.
38:00
>> This is a bird's a bird of paradise. Jim
38:00
was telling me something I never knew
38:01
before about the little hummingbird will
38:04
come and land right on here. So look
38:06
right there. And when he lands, that
38:07
opens up and that's where all the pollen
38:09
is. Opens up.
38:10
>> So they just perch right where your
38:12
finger is. See, it doesn't take much
38:14
pressure. That usually opens it up and
38:15
that's all the good stuff.
38:32
And that's going to do it for today.
38:32
Thanks for watching. See you in the next
38:33
video, the vlog
38:45
is over. Bonus footage. Forgot to show
38:45
photos of the Liberty Bell that was
38:48
tucked away off of Bay Lake. Take a look
38:52
at that.
38:59
Formerly on the Rivers of America, now
38:59
tucked away
39:02
backside of Magic Kingdom and Bay Lake.
39:05
Pretty cool.
39:08
Okay, wanted to show that. That's it.
