today's adventure begins here in
0:02
Celebration Florida the bubble if you
0:05
will you're taking the card out
0:07
today mini
0:09
Marge appropriately named and I'll be
0:12
heading to No Man's Land Highway 192 I
0:14
was reading up on some of the Florida
0:17
regulations as far as these types of
0:18
vehicles go and if a sidewalk is wider
0:22
than
0:24
5T those can be driven on it this one
0:27
here is not wider than 5 ft but some of
0:30
the sidewalks that run parallel to
0:32
Highway 192 I see these things
0:34
traversing on very often and I believe
0:37
they're about 6 ft so this is about 5
0:41
and 1/2 ft from Mirror to mirror give or
0:44
take might even be a couple inches more
0:46
but 5 ft from windshield to windshield
0:49
there so if it fits on the sidewalk it
0:52
is able to be driven on as long as I
0:54
yield to those who are walking and slow
0:57
down and let them go around
1:01
so taking it out of the bubble today as
1:04
a recording of This is Friday TGF
1:07
January 5th 2024 I also added another
1:10
sticker
1:12
here just to designate the mini
1:16
Marge had a couple of these laying
1:18
around so I threw one on the on the back
1:21
going to go get some coffee and then
1:23
head out I also discovered by reading up
1:25
on some of the different technicalities
1:28
that I can cross a highway I can cross
1:30
over Highway 192 if I do it at the light
1:34
and my vehicle has the appropriate turn
1:38
signals lights and I follow the traffic
1:41
pattern at the light cannot drive down
1:44
Highway 192 I can't go on a road more
1:46
than 40 mph with traffic anything under
1:50
that street
1:51
legal but not on the highways but I can
1:54
cross over one of those road to get to
1:57
the other side so it's going to open up
1:59
a whole can of worms Oh take a look they
2:01
are taking down the tree the holidays
2:05
officially
2:06
are over soon maybe the next day or so I
2:10
might be able to drive down Market
2:11
Street that'll be
2:13
exciting little doggies oh yes mobile
2:16
order for the
2:21
win see I'm going to be venturing out
2:21
there on the Highway 192 but technically
2:23
not onto the highway itself I'm going to
2:27
be taking a little bit of some expanded
2:31
sidewalks and then from there onto
2:34
surface streets that are under the speed
2:36
limit of 40 mph welcome everyone Adam
2:39
the woo here trying to get some usage
2:42
out of the new gym E2 that I purchased
2:46
the other day this will be the first
2:48
time
2:50
leaving
2:52
celebration adventuring out into the
2:54
other the other sections in the general
2:56
vicinity got a full charge well I had a
2:59
full charge when I left left i' probably
3:00
already driven a mile to Starbucks and
3:03
mile to here I should be able to get 30
3:05
Mi on a charge so I should be I should
3:07
be totally fine I'm inviting you to join
3:11
me as we venture down Highway
3:15
192 in a totally different vehicle than
3:18
I've ever had before shall you as of
3:21
right now I'm sitting at about 39 miles
3:25
with just about a full charge I imagine
3:26
I'm probably going to lose one bar cuz
3:28
I've already been driving a couple miles
3:31
we'll follow this as the day
3:33
progresses if you take a look at this
3:35
this is like a seven or8 foot wide cart
3:39
walkway
3:46
sidewalk and I obviously won't even be
3:46
riding on these too much cuz once I get
3:49
past little sections I can Veer off onto
3:51
side streets parking lots things like
3:54
that pretty dang awesome now I just
3:56
veered off into another little section
3:59
over here in front of the stbridge
4:00
Suites old gift shop the backside of
4:04
gift shops used to be a big hotel right
4:06
here in fact there was one of the last
4:09
times I frequented going to the property
4:12
there was a fo Place faux place also
4:15
I've been looking go the speed bumps
4:17
I've been looking for a good faux place
4:19
in the central Florida Orlando CMI
4:22
celebration area I have not found my
4:24
favorite faux place is in bua Park
4:26
California faux 21 but I have not found
4:30
a place here I feel like once I find a
4:31
good place that's going to be my go-to
4:34
so I got to be on the lookout all right
4:37
going to cut through Oldtown here in CMI
4:40
as well I'm not going to ride up the
4:43
main street but traffic does cross a
4:47
cross through this section wonder if I
4:49
could drive down there I don't think I'm
4:51
going to but I got to read up on that
4:53
that'd be kind of neat yeah how great
4:55
are these like 7 ft
4:58
wide pass that run parallel to the
5:01
highway perfect it's kind of neat that
5:04
the town know the CMI in general even
5:07
probably Orlando even Ive probably has
5:09
them too I don't know can't confirm that
5:11
but see this is where the original
5:13
sidewalk was and this is only like 3
5:16
maybe 4 ft across but they had the
5:18
wherewithal knowing that so many people
5:20
are staying at some of the resort
5:23
houses trailers off property behind
5:26
Oldtown they all have the golf cart life
5:30
and they built this 67 I didn't bring a
5:33
tape measure but with the cart being 5
5:35
ft across and got a good 2 ft on the Sid
5:38
it's probably 7 7 and 1/2 ft across over
5:41
there going all the way down 192 I
5:44
consider this like almost like in Super
5:47
Mario Brothers where you have the warp
5:49
the warp tunnels because I'm not going
5:51
to stay on them very long I'm just going
5:52
to stay for you know just to go from
5:54
point A to point B to then just get on
5:57
the know surface roads and parking lots
5:59
and drive it
6:01
around you're finally cleaning up the
6:03
very last of the destruction over
6:13
here cleaning it up hauling it
6:13
off see you later that took a little
6:17
more than a week a week from it being a
6:20
standing structure to being torn down
6:23
and hauled off that's the last of it I
6:26
got to see the progress of it each day
6:29
someone else got that cart life going on
6:31
over
6:33
there seen a
6:36
few especially when I was over by the
6:38
Water Tower Plaza at that Publix there
6:41
was quite a few of
6:48
them all right waiting at the light to
6:48
properly cross over 192 here at Sherwood
6:51
Forest and 192
6:53
light and then I'm going to go to the
6:55
other side of Highway 192 all right
6:57
moving forward you know a memory just
6:59
came back back to my recollection right
7:00
here at this Ichiban
7:03
Buffet my friend Justin Scar and I years
7:06
ago years and years ago I think it
7:08
was gosh I don't even know what year
7:10
would have been late
7:12
201
7:14
15 summer of 15 maybe we were both in
7:17
town I was coming back to Walt Disney
7:19
World for my first time in a while I
7:21
think it was 15 it might have been early
7:22
16 I think it was late 15 summer of 15
7:25
and we just put out an impromptu we only
7:27
gave a couple days notice that we were
7:28
going to do a me up here at the wizard
7:32
gift shop and it poured rain and I don't
7:35
know maybe 30 40 50 people showed up but
7:39
we all stood right underneath there in
7:41
the pouring rain those who
7:44
know if you know you know if you know
7:46
you
7:47
know it's a Memory it might be a memory
7:49
for a couple people
7:51
watching or maybe no one remembers I
7:55
remember though Justin might remember
7:57
too possibly that's iconic right there
8:00
there I'm also really surprised that
8:03
this is not painted
8:05
yellow so that's painted yellow not
8:07
supposed to park here I think that
8:09
probably is supposed to be painted
8:11
yellow but it's
8:17
not just for a moment grabbing the spot
8:17
right there nailed it the wizard you're
8:22
a wizard Harry it's
8:32
true it's true over here behind LongHorn
8:32
Steakhouse is this Motel even actually
8:35
open I think it might be I think it's
8:36
one of those yeah it's one of those
8:37
developer ends there's just so many
8:39
hotels and mo motels through
8:48
here they just revamped this one this is
8:48
completely kind of fixed up it's a newer
8:50
used to be another motel and they
8:52
changed the name and cleaned it up a
8:53
little bit Waffle House under
8:55
construction next to the Big Orange Big
8:57
Orange still last time I came by here
9:00
did not have the inside open yet it's
9:04
been about 10 months since the fire but
9:06
thankfully did not lose the
9:16
building I'm got to say I'm really
9:16
loving this open air slow
9:21
paace
9:27
commuting it's just
9:27
nice like what are my new favorite
9:29
things to be doing I've only done it a
9:30
couple times but I'm loving it so
9:38
far and also adding the fact that I'm
9:38
just fascinated by Highway 192 and doing
9:41
this from a different different vehicle
9:45
slower Pace kind of adds to it a couple
9:47
Indian food places over here where the
9:49
Rock Church is former Gladiators Dinner
9:52
Show there's one right over there and
9:55
there's also one over here I want to try
9:58
both of those at some point this used to
9:59
be a bank I noticed this the other day
10:02
when I was driving by in my regular
10:05
car I let them in the cart take a look
10:08
at this here's an old deposit
10:11
box there and then here's the teller
10:14
window back in the day
10:36
this is the back expansive parking lot
10:36
where the Gladiators Dinner Show used to
10:39
be and looked like they were doing
10:41
something inside The Rock Church and we
10:42
were doing some cleanup or something
10:44
some of the people that members of the
10:48
church the congregation but there is a
10:51
massive stench back here almost like a
10:54
sewage line busted or something I mean
10:57
it is
11:03
I never been all the way back here I
11:03
don't think anyone has a long time
11:05
except for those dumping all these tires
11:06
I don't think you're supposed to be
11:07
doing that but
11:09
yeah oh look at this old time
11:14
share also look there used to be like a
11:17
little Corral over there for animals but
11:20
there is a time share vacation home
11:23
information pull behind cart yes when
11:26
you slow
11:27
down and are able to drive into areas
11:30
you don't normally you normally wouldn't
11:31
cuz you're had to go on a slower pace
11:33
and a tinier tinier little cart you see
11:35
things like
11:40
this dang how many creatures of the
11:43
murky swamps you think are living down
11:46
in here probably some Gators
11:49
Turtles maybe some fish mutated
12:00
fish take that you mutated son of a bee
12:00
sounded nothing like who I was trying to
12:02
imitate but yeah you got the
12:09
idea take that you mutated son of a
12:09
fish that was better that was a better
12:13
better old man peab body picture of the
12:15
Swamp Thing being in here look how it's
12:17
like a little island of foliage has
12:19
grown up in the
12:20
middle man I should take out a flatable
12:22
canoe out on that bad boy see what I can
12:25
find 2
12:27
a.m. just a lot of land off of 192
12:31
that's not utilized I mean look at this
12:33
look at this massive footprint of
12:35
parking back
12:40
here also this has seat belt I just
12:41
clamped it in granted I'm not going that
12:43
fast probably don't need them but it's
12:44
not me I'm worried about it's in case
12:46
someone you know hits the front and I go
12:48
forward I want to have this kind of
12:50
secur even though this is kind of loose
12:51
at least around the belt the belt
12:54
section will stop me from going forward
12:57
now I would imagine when they do the
12:58
Rock Church whenever they have that
13:00
whenever their services are this
13:02
probably fills up a little bit but I
13:04
doubt it is as full as it did when it
13:06
was the Roadside Attraction and the the
13:08
dinner show but maybe
13:11
possibly it's a big blue bus right
13:14
here see it
13:26
momentarily Big Blue Bus
13:37
yeah yeah this is where the uh the smell
13:37
is
13:47
potent big elephant door here loading in
13:47
and out back when it was the dinner
14:01
showa really want to do a tour inside
14:01
there one day I like to get in there
14:04
when nothing's going on he showed
14:07
around have access that you know what
14:10
I'm
14:10
saying kind of do like a whole thing on
14:13
the the history of it or my hair is just
14:16
in the
14:26
breeze it's a cool building
14:26
right and then Hope thrift is right
14:28
there
14:36
all right on to one of these seven or
14:36
eight foot wide Warp Zone
14:39
sidewalks that run parallel just for a
14:41
bit to get up to the next series of
14:44
parking lots and streets yeah I wish I
14:46
could I wish there was like a sensory
14:48
smell sensory on here just
14:52
to just just to project how how badly it
14:57
stinks in this little cord
15:00
definitely something busted this place
15:02
is supposed to reopen too it's called
15:03
the earo obviously named after the
15:05
road's name earo Bronson also known as
15:07
Highway 192 but it's been under
15:10
construction for a long time now back in
15:13
the day back in the '90s my mom my dad
15:16
my sister and myself came and visited
15:18
Walt Disney World and we stayed at was a
15:20
hotel here I've told this story before
15:22
my sister went out and went up and down
15:25
each of the levels took all the do not
15:27
disturb signs off people's doors took up
15:29
back to our room and tried to give them
15:31
to my mom mom's like go put those back
15:33
where you found them and then no one she
15:35
didn't remember what rooms they were put
15:37
on so she went and put them back on
15:38
random rooms she was very young and
15:42
probably bored waiting waiting for us to
15:44
go the next day to Disney but yeah
15:46
that's the
15:47
story that's that's my that's a story of
15:50
my a family vacation in the '90s no not
15:53
even the '90s the 80s not even the we
15:56
moved here in ' 91 so this would have
15:57
been it would have been mid
16:00
80s mid yeah mid 80s just passed the
16:03
golf cart we just moved over to the side
16:05
of each of them we still fit going side
16:08
by
16:09
side that one's cruising down the
16:11
opposite
16:12
way cart
16:15
Corral cart Corridor running parallel to
16:18
Oldtown now someone's on the Sky Coaster
16:22
there like all these side roads Surface
16:25
Street side
16:27
roads cart
16:33

over in here this place is always
16:48
hopping $2 to park over in this section
16:50
at night is all the sign haven't been
16:52
over here in a long time like the last
16:54
time I was over here this was a kind of
16:57
a dead end down here now they have
16:59
started
17:00
building either a hotel or apartments up
17:04
here and Gaylord Palms you can see it
17:06
off in the distance way over there I
17:09
could probably drive over to Gaylor I
17:11
think I drive might be the speed limit
17:14
on that section of I drive over to
17:17
Gaylord I might be able to take this on
17:19
there this might be it might be under 35
17:21
or under 40 I'm not going to do it today
17:23
but one big old empty parking lot over
17:25
here former Shopping Center
17:30
grocery store that no longer is
17:33
here look at the
17:35
checkerboard paintings
17:37
here this is all means no parking this
17:40
is a driving
17:46
section all right I can see the speed
17:46
limit sign over there it says 45 so I
17:49
cannot take the cart that way to Gade
17:52
Lord

19:14
Hotel I don't know what what they're
19:16
doing with this
19:18
thing they've been working on it for a
19:20
long
19:22
time back around the turn of the century
19:25
late '90s into early 2000s I worked
19:28
part-time at a pool bar back here did a
19:31
whole video on this before they started
19:33
construction on which was sitting empty
19:35
and desolated and not even being touched
19:37
I even know if it was even owned by
19:38
anyone at that time and no one had
19:40
purchased it and started fixing it up
19:42
which it looks like now they are but
19:44
back
19:45
then when I was able to get in here and
19:48
look around you can still see the pool
19:50
was over there the pool bar was still
19:52
over there this has been probably 5
19:55
years ago when I got in maybe 4 years
19:56
ago when I got in there 3 years ago
19:59
yeah but right over there used to be the
20:03
pool bar and the pool and the hot tub
20:05
that I worked at back in the late
20:07
90s right adjacent to this place that is
20:10
now closed
20:17
also ah
20:17

20:21

21:38
ago did a little video where I walked
21:41
around in here the Orlando Sun Resort
21:44
and there was like holes all in the
21:45
fences now the fence is just wide open
21:47
I'm going to drive the card up in
21:49
here look at this I'm just going to
21:50
drive right up in
22:07
this place just continues to get in more
22:07
disarray
22:09
than it was pre the previous
22:16
visits I'm definitely not going to get
22:16
out and Traverse
22:17
around I already did that but
22:26
yeah it's just amazing that anyone could
22:26
just drive up in here now no sides no
22:59
back over into celebration
23:12
now that was fun yeah it's safe to say
23:12
that if I go to Oldtown let's say I go
23:14
to another Saturday night cruise or if I
23:16
go to Oldtown or anything over in that
23:18
area of Highway 192 I now know that I
23:21
can get there on this lot of the
23:23
restaurants in that area anything that's
23:25
farther I know he going to be taking a
23:26
chance on the battery kind of croaking
23:29
out or whatever will not be doing that
23:31
but if anything within you know the few
23:33
square miles easily could get to also I
23:37
want to figure out a way to transport
23:39
this thing to other
23:42
spots like maybe Fort Wilderness I got
23:44
to get over to Fort Wilderness maybe
23:45
rent a cabin do something like that you
23:48
take have this at Fort Wilderness all
23:50
right 50 miles so didn't go as far as I
23:52
thought I was going to I went pretty
23:54
good ways what did I start off at 37 39
23:57
3 so I got I'm in my garage now so it's
24:00
a little echoey got it all charged up
24:02
it's
24:03
charging use about half a half the half
24:06
the the juice and to fill it up for a
24:10
bit and that's going to do it for today
24:11
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
24:14
is over okay I didn't have it plugged in
24:16
now I plugged it in so it says ETR I
24:18
guess that means estimated time
24:20
remaining to Juice It Up
24:22
maybe either way it's charging it plugs
24:25
into the wall and then it plugs right
24:27
into there
24:29
into that little mechanism here this
24:31
just plugs in and once it's Juiced up I
24:34
unplug it and plug I don't keep it
24:35
plugged in after it's full I don't think
24:38
you're supposed to
