0:15
vehicles here

but they've already opened the parking
0:20
area even a little after 4am
0:23

0:36
i got myself a piping hot caffeinated
0:38
beverage that i got even before i went
0:39
through
0:41
the
0:42
parking lot turn styles a little update
0:45
cannot park at ttc yet the cast member
0:47
said park does not open until 8. no
0:50
information on when transportation
0:52
ticket center parking lot will open so
0:55
everyone has been rerouted over here to
0:58
the speedway gas station just across
1:00
from the property and then we're going
1:02
to have to
1:03
just assume when parking will open go up
1:07
loop around do a u-turn and then head in
1:10
for the historic day walt disney world's
1:12
50th anniversary i have procured i
1:14
purchased a ticket
1:16
about a year ago i have had this
1:18
reservation locked in
1:20
i'm pretty thankful i'm gonna be on main
1:22
street usa at rope drop inviting you to
1:24
join me shall you and i love the retro
1:28
bumper sticker here on this mural
1:36
oh and there's bricky admiring it as
1:36
well
1:37
i'm gonna take my thumbnail here oh
1:39
right there yeah it's probably gonna be
1:40
the best i get today
1:42
and what can i see you would top this
1:45
the store is not open yet also side note
1:47
right across from ttc is where the buses
1:51
fuel up
1:52
and heard a rumor that at 4 30 a.m is
1:55
when the buses started running but
1:58
i don't see any running yet so i think
1:59
it might be five also heard that ttc is
2:01
gonna open at five now it's gonna get
2:02
back in the car
2:04
drive over and see if that's true 454
2:07
pulling through the turnstiles here
2:09
parking turnstiles
2:11
still got to loop around again though
2:13
and no confirmation on the five it's
2:15
going to go back to the gas gas station
2:18
this is an adventure one thing's for
2:20
sure i learned when the speedway lights
2:22
turn on
2:23
5am
2:25
pulled up parked back at 5am and these
2:27
lights turned on speedway opens at 5am
2:31
maybe drive back over to ttc and see if
2:33
they're open now this is really
2:35
something else
2:36
it is 5 a.m and all of these vehicles
2:40
are doing a u-turn
2:42
to go back
2:45
the parking turn styles to go to ttc all
2:47
of these cars are here for one reason
2:50
wdw 50th
2:53
it's like deja vu
2:55
going around in circles
2:57
i passed this turn once or twice already
2:59
this morning
3:01
so was that car
3:03
hey look big ben
3:05
parliament
3:07
i just can't get over
3:10
seems like the appropriate move like
3:11
others are doing is to park here along
3:13
the side
3:14
because you really can't tell
3:17
if they're waving everyone through to go
3:19
around and do the circle again or
3:22
paying to park
3:23
you don't really know till you get up to
3:25
the front
3:26
looks like they're still waving people
3:27
through and notice down there at the end
3:29
there are some
3:30
lights this officer
3:33
will kind of
3:34
patrol the area telling everyone to move
3:36
off the side so got to keep moving but
3:38
for now he's just kind of stationed down
3:40
there
3:40
he was telling everybody to move a few
3:42
minutes ago but now he's not telling
3:43
anybody to move somehow managed to now
3:46
be the first one parked
3:48
to get in now they have stopped cars
3:50
here yeah i don't know how i managed
3:52
that to happen
3:54
but i'm now standing on out of my
3:56
sunroof
3:58
here in the first yeah look the
3:59
turnstile it's right there
4:07
surprisingly there's not as many cars
4:07
here as i thought there would be more
4:08
cars
4:09
it's still early though
4:17
hello
4:17
happy 50th
4:29
there's still more cars pulling in that
4:29
all those cars way down there heading
4:31
this far all right 6 43
4:35
remove the cones now there was a strong
4:37
rumor that the trams might be running
4:39
today
4:40
does it look like that rumor
4:42
is happening at fruition at 5 4 a.m
4:46
or come to fruition looks like one car
4:49
ahead of mine
4:56
well it's actually technically it's a
4:58
truck
5:06
should also add in there are a few cars
5:06

5:08

up quite an appetite i do find it a
18:27
little fascinating that the opening
18:28
ceremony
18:30
wasn't even really about the 50th it was
18:32
more kind of a
18:33
roof drop ceremony they did
18:35
years ago they kind of brought that back
18:38
it was the first one they've done in
18:39
quite some time but it wasn't really
18:40
dedicated to the 50th anniversary
18:43
and it really is no
18:45
no word
18:46
no rumors that they will do anything
18:48
like that the course of the day now last
18:50
night they did a whole presentation
18:52
they have
18:53
over the last few days they have done a
18:55
lot of different things but the day of
18:57
no one really knows there are no hard
19:00
rumors
19:02
if it's going to if there's going to be
19:03
anything dedicated on a stage
19:06
celebrating the 50th on the specific
19:08
days this day even though the the
19:11
opening ceremony the rope drop ceremony
19:12
that they brought back
19:14
had the most people i've ever seen
19:16
watching a rope drop ceremony it was
19:18
pretty cool okay it's a rush
19:21
here we go oliver rush to the rivers
19:44
and there's also some more popcorn
19:44
buckets and that little stand over there
19:46
the line
19:47
very lengthy lines for the popcorn
19:50
buckets
19:52
also gary's here
19:54
what's going on what'd you think of that
19:55
opening ceremony
19:58
you said it was more of a rope drop
19:59
thing yeah it seemed like a standard
20:01
room thing i don't think they said
20:02
anything about the 50th anniversary at
20:04
all and i think that's what everybody
20:05
i was mentioning that a moment ago
20:08
there's there's no rumor of there being
20:10
a 50th anniversary
20:12
announcement or on a stage or anything
20:14
like that yeah i mean look what about
20:16
the fireworks
20:18
i think that was the random fireworks
20:19
there was a couple bursts there i think
20:21
they were practicing for the
20:23
something
20:24
who knows
20:25
weird it is weird oh what's this line
20:27
for
20:29
is that a popcorn bucket line it is a
20:31
popcorn
20:32
people like the popcorn buckets
20:34
