today's adventure begins by looking at
0:02
the mickey power pole eye for westbound
0:05
going very smoothly surprisingly with
0:07
traffic not too bad
0:17
as the recording of this june 21st 2021
0:17
current time
0:18
9 40 a.m and i have a reservation for
0:22
hollywood studios changing it up a
0:24
little bit today and gonna be parking
0:26
over at
0:26
art of animation where my sister and her
0:28
family have stayed for the evening i'm
0:30
going to take the skyliner over to
0:31
studios
0:32
with them welcome everyone adam the woo
0:34
here
0:35
bringing my trusty umbrella not so much
0:38
for the rain even though
0:39
it is there is forecasted some showers a
0:41
little bit later
0:42
i thought about bringing my my big
0:44
brimmed cap
0:45
opted for the umbrella instead if it
0:47
gets too sunny a little overcast so it
0:49
might not be too bad
0:50
don't really have a major game plan for
0:52
today mostly just hanging out with my
0:53
sister
0:54
and her family they have reservations
0:57
they purchased a one-day ticket and
0:58
got reservations for studios so i linked
1:01
up with them as well also got a rise
1:04
boarding pass this morning i got up at 6
1:05
30 waited for the seven o'clock window
1:08
and got one for for the whole group the
1:11
whole party so that's
1:12
very exciting also all the pre-shows are
1:15
back
1:15
tower mickey and minnie and maybe
1:18
another
1:19
maybe a couple others so i'll try to
1:20
document those invite there's a someone
1:22
in a golf cart waiting to go by here
1:23
so inviting you to join me
1:34
shall you rope drop it studios was 9 a.m
1:34
it's currently 9
1:35
55 so i would imagine the line has
1:37
dissipated a little bit
1:39
to get on the skyline it shouldn't be
1:40
too bad it should be pretty easy access
1:43
right ursula and par for the course
1:47
always lawn maintenance following me
1:49
around so you can see across hourglass
1:51
lake
1:52
is where the skyliner goes heading over
1:55
to another station and then from that
1:57
station
1:58
into studios now they put this little
2:00
washboard out here because
2:01
an hour before the park's open it gets
2:03
very very busy it says due to high
2:05
demand you can take the bus over to
2:07
or studios but at this hour it's not too
2:09
not too bad also
2:11
any transportation device you have to
2:12
wear the facial covering so that
2:13
includes buses
2:15
the skyliner and what would be the other
2:18
one not trams because trams are not
2:19
running
2:20
so buses skyliner and monorail
2:24
so this would be the only place you have
2:25
to mandatorily
2:27
wear a facial covering so i gotta put
2:30
one on and
2:31
make the way to studios also they are
2:33
not giving you your own gondola so you
2:35
have to share gondolas now with another
2:37
party if your group is small enough
2:39
okay i stand corrected while i sit
2:40
correctly because i'm sitting but
2:42
they didn't put anybody else in the cart
2:44
with us so it's just just us sitting in
2:46
the cart
2:46
and about about to take off right across
2:50
hourglass lake or lake hourglass and
2:53
it's a good thing there's no one sitting
2:54
across from me because i could lock arms
2:56
with them and
2:57
sway it like this which is frowned upon
2:59
i think it
3:00
means you're not supposed to open the
3:01
door but it looks as if the two guests
3:03
are
3:04
kind of shaking hands and then making
3:06
the gondola go back and forth
3:08
now at the main station there is a
3:09
little bit larger congregation of people
3:12
not too bad though not too bad the good
3:15
thing is that's all for epcot
3:17
since we're going to studios not much of
3:19
a line over on this side
3:25
thank you for your patience okay we are
3:27
now just sitting here
3:28
okay it's moving again they were
3:30
thanking us for our patience but now
3:32
it's moving
3:33
and judging by the parking lot still at
3:35
35 capacity
3:37
there will still be some pretty lengthy
3:38
lines in there but you can definitely
3:39
tell they are not at full capacity yet
3:41
oh yeah of course
3:42
hollywood tower definitely on the agenda
3:45
we're gonna drop into that and like i
3:47
said the pre-show is back
3:49
almost to the entrance skyline are very
3:50
efficient just drops you off right here
3:52
current wait time for tower 50 minutes
3:54
it backs up all the way
3:56
over to this section and of course with
3:57
the distancing just now removed
4:00
i don't believe it go the line goes over
4:02
back by fantasmic anymore it's kind of
4:03
just all
4:04
stretched around in this section still
4:06
no fast pass however i believe these
4:08
were the little stations for the
4:09
fastpass terminals
4:10
if you were to remove that it would have
4:13
the little
4:14
keyboard and the lcd screen for fastpass
4:18
and also rockin roller coasters about an
4:20
hour away
4:21
as well these are some nice ceiling fans
4:25
and some shade
4:26
i also have double shade i have my
4:27
umbrella here and then i've also got the
4:30
shade of this awning
4:31
it tells my heart good having you
4:34
checking fire
4:35
it's good to be here thank you this says
4:37
that there are high speed drops into the
4:39
dark
4:40
mysterious realm of the twilight zone
4:44
oh i can hear some of the streaming of
4:46
oh this says keep out
4:47
you know what i thought i'll think i
4:48
think well we were invited in he said
4:50
come on in so
4:51
we're good to go there's a big leaf from
4:54
a tree there blocking the view
4:55
as of right now they still have the
4:56
plexiglas up as well
4:58
over here in the queue so plexiglas has
5:00
not been removed in the queue
5:02
as of yet out of the outside out of the
5:05
out of the elements the sun and the
5:06
clouds and whatnot and into the lobby
5:09
area
5:09
almost to the pre-show the pre-show will
5:11
be happening
5:12
that's exciting pre-shows are back they
5:14
weren't around for quite some time the
5:16
last year
5:16
there were no pre-shows but now you go
5:18
into the room where
5:20
rod sterling or at least a gentleman
5:22
performing as rod sterling
5:24
is giving the the pre the pre-show
5:35
if you notice remember the hidden mickey
5:35
above the rod sterling actor's face
5:38
above the elevator he's a hidden mickey
5:41
on the belt
5:42
whenever you're in a boiler room it's
5:44
not a good thing
5:45
you know who also is always in boiler
5:47
rooms is freddy krueger
5:56
i wonder if freddy krueger's ever gone
5:56
on tower
5:57
i've really never figured out if it's
5:59
quicker to go straight that way or to
6:01
take the turn
6:02
more times than not i will not get in
6:04
this line
6:06
but we'll just take the one that goes
6:08
that way
6:09
but i've never timed it out to see which
6:11
one's quicker
6:13
it might be about to say this one does
6:15
kind of wind around a little bit
6:18
i think it was quicker than the 50
6:19
minutes that stated though we're almost
6:20
off it's only been about half hour
6:22
making our way to the wait a second six
6:25
six six
6:29
that's a bad sign and this shows the
6:32
seating chart so we're going to be in
6:33
the very
6:48
you say put all the bags by your feet
6:48
also noticing they have removed the
6:50
plastic dividers in here as well there
6:52
is no separation between guests
7:02
oh there seems to be something at the
7:04
end of the hallway here
7:05
goes is it gonna go up or down that's
7:07
the real question he's gonna go
7:30
oh my god i
7:38
oh that's it it's over we did it
7:50
they added i think they added one last
7:50
drop they did i thought it was over and
7:52
then shot us back
7:53
up i love that attraction and just to
7:56
kind of show here this is how they have
7:58
so now they have the rope set up and the
8:00
queue is up down here down sunset
8:03
and then you wind around you do not go
8:05
back as stated you do not go back to
8:06
fantasmic anymore they had during the
8:08
distancing
8:09
year i have officially lost my umbrella
8:11
already already this early other day
8:13
i've lost the umbrella i don't know
8:14
where it could have left it on tower
8:16
i left it in the line could have set it
8:17
down over somewhere
8:19
i think i left it on tower but
8:20
nonetheless i have to purchase another
8:22
umbrella and start making the way over
8:24
to
8:24
star tours which is located where you
8:26
can get there two different directions
8:27
but this is one of the ways you can get
8:29
to star tours kind of
8:31
in between the commissary building and
8:33
the back side of what is now the frozen
8:35
show
8:35
which used to be superstar television
8:38
the adventure continues
8:40
is the diversion they have right now 25
8:43
minutes
8:44
going through the ewok village you can
8:46
see some of the trees there of the ewok
8:48
village
8:48
sometimes the cube will show oh the
8:49
queue does stretch through there and of
8:51
course
8:51
a giant add out how often well how many
8:54
places can you walk through a full-sized
8:57
atat i call it always good to see r2
9:00
and 3po hello r2d2 and 3pm we still have
9:04
the plexi up inside star tours also oh
9:06
look there is like the
9:07
the heat index on those walking through
9:09
the queue line
9:10
of star tours but the flexi is still up
9:13
in here
9:14
don't forget to pick up your flight
9:15
glasses need to pair these
9:17
in order to see in 3d
9:23
that was a good time there were a few
9:26
new scenes that i had not
9:28
not ever experienced in there before
9:30
fast forward a few hours
9:32
it is now 6 p.m my sister earlier had to
9:35
go back to the hotel
9:36
with her family and i ended up heading
9:39
home for a while
9:40
and it's now raining and now i've
9:42
decided to return for the last couple
9:43
hours the park is open
9:45
had quite a couple hours of a downpour
9:49
nice little downpour
9:56
skyliner's not even moving over there
9:56
skyliner has oh
9:58
there was just lightning above tower
10:01
dang i miss it i do want to go on mickey
10:04
and minnie
10:05
run away just to see the pre-show i
10:06
haven't seen the pre-show in
10:08
over a year but the pre-show is back
10:09
just like it was on tower
10:11
and i believe rockin roller coaster has
10:13
the aerosmith pre-show so check that out
10:14
too and you'll notice if you wait
10:16
a little bit later in the day the line
10:18
for mickey and mindy dissipates quite a
10:19
bit of course
10:20
they're no longer doing the distancing
10:22
so it's all just kind of wedged under
10:23
this one little area for the moment
10:25
we're all just kind of congregated here
10:27
well it stopped raining but the line is
10:29
slowly starting to move now this is
10:31
around the corner
10:32
and they have reshifted the queue line
10:34
when you go in it doesn't go through the
10:36
front it just goes through the side
10:38
now and once you go through the side you
10:40
continue on and
10:41
the pre-show is back with goofy
10:45
driving the train runaway railroad and
10:48
runaway
10:48
railway and then obviously at the end
10:52
is when all the smoke is emitted from
10:54
the sea if all the smoke
10:56
is emitted from the front of the screen
11:07
the screen just exploded i haven't seen
11:07
that for a long time that was cool
11:09
and now everyone walks through the
11:11
screen itself through the movie screen
11:14
my hair's a little wet it's been raining
11:16
not not every day well unless you come
11:18
here it's not every day you can walk
11:19
through an exploded movie stream
11:22
and then back out look there's a hole in
11:24
the screen that's where i was just
11:26
standing right there that's
11:27
it's good to see the pre-shows back
11:28
there's no markers on the ground or
11:30
anything no more markers
11:31
everything is back to semi-normal and it
11:33
looks as if there is no more plexi on
11:35
the train itself
11:37
look they have removed all the plexiglas
11:39
from the train
11:40
pretty interesting how quickly
11:41
everything's just kind of going back to
11:43
how it usually was
11:44
and now rocking roller coaster with a
11:47
huge guitar out front
11:48
it is kind of amazing how just a couple
11:50
weeks ago you couldn't stand this close
11:52
to anyone and now everyone just
11:54
congregated very very closely how
11:56
quickly everything just
11:57
kind of kicks back to how it was you
12:00
know not even
12:00
not even a foot or two between guests
12:03
whatsoever
12:04
also about to head in and see if they
12:07
have the pre-show going they just made
12:10
the statement
12:12
you automatically fill in all the
12:13
available spaces
12:18
listen to that that's the first time
12:18
i've heard that phrase in over a year
12:33
automatically at any time make sure we
12:33
stay behind the other line at all times
12:34
thank you
12:36
do you recall back in the day when the
12:37
roadie would come out an actual cast
12:39
member
12:40
the actor would come out and grab the
12:41
les paul when they asked to get to the
12:43
left
12:44
the ride vehicle has stopped temporarily
12:49
stand clear for your safety without
12:51
warning
12:52
that's terrifying i thought they were
12:55
going to get evac but now
12:56
getting ready to blast off oh they still
12:58
got the plexi up
12:59
in the queue so i haven't seen any plexi
13:02
on any of the rides or attractions but
13:04
they do have plexi
13:06
in all the queue lines
13:11
that group just waiting patiently for
13:11
their stretch limo they got backstage
13:12
passes too
13:14
to go across i like how all this looks
13:17
like a subway
13:18
station check this out it's like a
13:20
parking structure
13:21
okay you're pulling out of a parking
13:22
structure here the theming in here
13:25
it's like l.a oh look at this up here
13:27
says have a nice day a sticker
13:29
side of the wall never noticed all that
13:30
up there before with the scaffolding
13:32
like they're doing a little work
13:34
all roads jammed we'll begin moving
13:37
immediately oh immediately okay
13:40
immediately
13:41
get ready oh they're doing the countdown
13:43
here we go rock on
13:45
here we go
13:57
i always wonder people who get in line
13:57
that have no idea what this is and
13:59
they're waiting here and they see this
14:00
blast off and think i made a bad scene
14:03
all right they're excited
14:07
i would imagine all of this plexiglas
14:10
all through the queue will be the next
14:13
next to go away up there's my stretch
14:16
limo
14:16
for the backstage passes they did not
14:19
seat me next to anyone though so i'm
14:21
kind of a single rider
14:23
not sitting next to anyone it's just me
14:26
on here
14:27
so when they bring single rider back you
14:28
wouldn't have you'd have to share
14:31
a seat they're not dividing roads but
14:40
oh yeah good to get back on rock and
14:43
roller coaster
14:44
and good that the pre-show is back good
14:46
to see aerosmith again
14:48
even though it's a few years ago when
14:50
they recorded that scene but yeah it's
14:51
good to see that it's the other
14:52
steven tyler going through there now
14:55
we're gonna pull in you're gonna see
14:56
some hidden mickeys along the side of
14:58
the wall
14:59
there are some lights up there that look
15:00
like kid and mickey see check it out see
15:02
all the hidden mickeys all through there
15:04
pretty cool that's going to do it for
15:06
today a very long day even though i was
15:07
separated by you know morning and then i
15:09
went home for a little bit
15:10
came back in the evening and avoided in
15:12
the evening time when i lost my umbrella
15:14
earlier
15:14
i did avoid the rain as head out and
15:17
they just made the closing eight o'clock
15:19
announcement which they just started
15:20
doing recently
15:21
the parks closed and i'm heading out as
15:22
