0:39
afternoon into early evening
0:41
a lot of parking still spacing them out
0:44
as well as
0:45
quite a bit of the entire parking area
0:48
the other side of the monorail beam
0:50
which is not running this is the epcot
0:51
loop
0:51
section empty
0:55
a little brisk a little windy very cool
0:59

1:02
used to
1:12
feels good usually the tram goes right
1:12
under here
1:18
trams are not running be able to walk
1:18
under this underpass and
1:21
head to the screening welcome everyone
1:25

1:32
earlier today i celebrated christmas
1:32
with my parents my mom made a delicious
1:35
meal
1:37
did not film any of that did not show
1:39
any of that but
1:40
it is a tradition for me to attend a
1:43
walt disney world or disneyland property
1:46
on christmas day
1:49
that's what i'm doing it's going to be a
1:51
little bit adjusting
1:52
in comparison to former viewers
1:56
i just want to document and see what the
1:58
experience is like i'm inviting you to
2:00
join me
2:07
2020 edition shall we i opened some
2:07
presents this a.m and now
2:09
p.m i've been heading whoa
2:13
it's a little bumpy oh a little bit
2:15
bumpy getting a peek of the castle over
2:17
there
2:23
past the shrubs okay now it's obscure
2:23
it doesn't look to be too incredibly
2:27
packed down there at this timeframe now
2:30
the reason it might seem a little light
2:32
is not because well not light as hard as
2:34
the sun goes but as far as crowds go
2:36
not because of lack of interest but
2:37
because there is a limited
2:39
capacity and there goes
2:42
the ma perfect timing perfect timing
2:47
the monorail yeah limited capacity let's
2:50
have reservations and i was lucky enough
2:52
to get one
2:53
oh yes tradition is continuing
2:56
love being in the disney park on
2:58
christmas time on
3:00
a very windy one at that windy and cool
3:03
one at
3:04
that and here comes the cavalcade
3:06
rolling right down the middle of main
3:07
street usa
3:09
always good to get a good look at the
3:11
castle here always beautiful
3:12
and just in time to catch another
3:14
cavalcade i don't know what it is with
3:16
geppetto i noticed a couple weeks ago
3:17
he's always dancing to an area where
3:18
nowhere
3:19
is standing and of course mickey and
3:21
minnie looking very very
3:22
festive as always hello mickey and min
3:25
line for haunted mansion doesn't look
3:27
too incredibly lengthy
3:29
i think it says 20 minutes peter pan and
3:32
fantasyland is a slightly different
3:34
story however
3:35
in all honesty however that that's that
3:36
area is always a catch-all kind of a
3:39
bottleneck
3:40
but if i read the signage correctly both
3:42
small world and peter pan's flight
3:44
50-minute waits still not too bad in
3:46
comparison for this how this day usually
3:48
is
3:48
mine train 75 minutes in years past i've
3:51
seen this up to
3:52
200 minutes well 160 i think was the
3:55
highest i ever saw it
3:56
so in comparison yeah it's doable teacup
4:00
says
4:00
10 minutes i'm going to try to find
4:02
other 10 minute
4:04
wait time attraction tomorrowland
4:06
speedway looks to be
4:07
one of those stand by 10
4:11
10 minutes still do not see the people
4:13
mover going across the track there
4:15
no people mover update there has been
4:17
times
4:18
in the past where i was not able to even
4:19
get on one attraction with the wait time
4:22
so lengthy
4:23
today is not one of these days however
4:26
riding on the east coast autopia is a
4:29
tradition
4:30
it's what i always do no matter what so
4:33
keeping up with that and
4:35
about to go on an automobile and that is
4:38
a
4:38
really good angle of the tron
4:40
construction
4:42
with the cars going by wow that is cool
4:45
up here on the platform waiting to board
4:47
they just keep on cruising around
4:51
yeah steady flow traffic is thick but it
4:53
is definitely moving
5:12
the first thing i see well besides the
5:12
astro orbiter
5:14
is that screen used prep from flight of
5:16
the navigator
5:22
voiced by paul reubens pee-wee herman
5:22
himself that was used in the movie one
5:25
of a few different ones
5:27
painted over they added a tail and there
5:30
it sits in tomorrowland
5:32
and kind of hope to get a christmas
5:34
miracle
5:35
the people mover cruising by however
5:39
people mover is not
5:42
moving any people at the moment oh this
5:44
is i i have a
5:46
vehicle that's all over the road has
5:48
nothing to do with my steering it is not

7:40
very short wait time attraction
7:42

seven dwarf spine train always a good
8:43
time
8:44
it is now just about night time just
8:47
about night time
8:48
you just kind of have to know which
8:50
attractions to pick and which ones you
8:51
want to go on
8:52
for the short wait times honestly i'm
8:54
just happy to be able to
8:56
go on anything this is amazing this is
9:00
this is nice not having to wait on
9:02
certain ones
9:03
i'm not complaining one bit quite a few
9:06
people
9:07
but still there are some attractions
9:09
with no weights
9:10
it could be that the temperature is only
9:12
52 degrees on why there's not much of a
9:14
of a lengthy wait time on this
9:17
52 degrees in florida you can see where
9:19
earlier they had the extended queue set
9:21
up look at this
9:22
but they are not needed now check that
9:24
out 10
9:26
only 10 minutes i'm going on fellas
9:30

9:31
something it looks as if i'm getting my
9:33
own vlog
9:42
my very own ride vehicle it's a
9:42
christmas
9:43
miracle now if i just don't go into the
9:45
briar patch or if the water
9:47
if the cannons that shoot the water are
9:49
not operating that will be really good
9:51
christmas miracle cannons and there's
9:54
none
9:55
it's a christmas miracle
9:59
my own ride vehicle okay let's see
10:02
someone's yelling there's someone
10:05
screaming on this at the moment
10:16
going out of the darkness back into the
10:16
partial
10:17
light of the sunset very
10:20
beautiful about to go over slip and
10:24

11:09
current temperature 52 degrees and clear
11:09
looks like it's not going to rain
11:10
anymore but 52 degrees
11:12
also nothing better than having an
11:14
entire log to myself
11:16
not only in general but also on
11:18
christmas day entire vlog on splash
11:20
mountain to myself
11:22
this really is turning in to be quite
11:23
the perfect evening
11:25
doesn't the castle look spectacular from
11:27
this angle
11:28
yes this is happening 10 minutes
11:31
for the haunted mansion 10
11:34
minutes look this is the line no one in
11:37
line everything is
11:39
going very well i was not expecting
11:43
i was not expecting these short weights
11:45
i knew it was going to i knew it wasn't
11:46
going to be
11:47
with the limited capacity it was going
11:50
to be
11:51
you know it wasn't going to be as busy
11:53
as normal
11:54
but i was not completely expecting
11:58
this this is
12:03
awesome there are birds chirping even
12:06
under the shroud of
12:11
you can nightfall the birds chirping
12:11
there in the courtyard of the mansion
12:17
those birds are not afraid or maybe
12:17
they're
12:18
maybe they're maybe they're crickets
12:25
how often do you get to go through the
12:25
haunted mansion the non-christmas
12:28
overlay version no jack skellington here
12:31
on on the day of december 25th without
12:34
seeing
12:34
oogie boogie at the end nope no oogie
12:37
boogie in here
12:39
just old school at the very very tail
12:42
end you got the hitchhiking ghosts
12:46
and of course naturally the facade is a
12:48
little different here as well on the
12:49
east coast versus the west coast anaheim
12:51
version and those birds are still
12:53
chirping
12:54
as well as still no line whatsoever
12:58
no cue not one person in line at the
13:01
moment after exiting
13:02
looks a little extra special with the
13:04
lights
13:05
illuminating over the top of it
13:08
doesn't it oh yeah look at the streams
13:11
of light
13:12
beaming across of cinderella castle
13:15
and it has the projections on it as well
13:17
starting to
13:18
kind of crystallize upward a little
13:20
glare
13:21
nicely done
13:29
for the emporium right now you're
13:29
looking at approximately a five minute
13:31
wait
13:32
now heading on to the general joke i
13:34
have a there's a christmas tree walking
13:35
in front of me
13:37
pulling away from the dock
13:48
leave in the dark
13:48
it is brisk that's why there's nowhere
13:50
now
13:51
standing in this area here
13:54
even though there are people over there
13:56
sitting and bundled up it is
13:58
all of these circles are available
14:00
because the gustiness of the wind
14:04
it is brisk but that is quite
14:08
the view over there is it not and as i
14:11
was departing
14:12
down main street i was able to see a few
14:16
wonderful things
14:17
while looking back you kind of see the
14:19
crowd levels there were a lot of people
14:21
in there they just were not on the
14:22
attractions you could see them kind of
14:23
meandering
14:24
down main street usa and now back to
14:28
the ferry boat as i cruise back over to
14:31
ttc
14:32
with space mountain in the distance
14:36
oh yeah my hands are a little chilly
14:39
doing this and upon exiting up at the
14:42
train station i was able to catch mickey
14:44
and minnie and even yes winnie the pooh
14:48
himself appeared to wave goodbye
14:52
quite a few of quite a few of the crew
14:55
showed up
14:56
to say merry christmas
15:03
it's kind of a fun tradition that i have
15:03
created
15:10
another boat going into frame there
15:10
there it is heading in no guess on it
15:12
though going to pick some up
15:14
to take those who are ready to depart
15:18
a little bit windy i have my hand cupped
15:21
over the microphone and
15:22
boy it is brisk upon my
15:25
my fingers not a bad way to spend
15:29
december 25th at least the evening hours
15:32
and i got to very rarely are the lines
15:35
at that level to where you could
15:37
just hop right on ride vehicles so i
15:40
consider that a success
15:42
merry christmas monorail
15:46
merry christmas
15:54
because the monorail i wonder when the
15:57
trams will start
15:58
operating again they're saying the
16:00
capacity is set at 35
16:03
also will the monorail going to epcot do
16:07
the loop starting
16:08
on january 1st when park hopping becomes
16:11
available
16:12
all questions that i would like to know
16:19
good old heavy metal mickey because he's
16:23
made out of metal and he's probably not
16:25
light he's probably weighs a lot so he's
16:26
heavy
16:33
and will the 35 capacity be
16:34
bumped up a little
16:37
time will tell that's going to do it for
16:40
if you're new here i knew this was short
16:43
and sweet but wanted to just step in
16:44
here on christmas day december 25th 2020
16:48
and i did if you're new here please
16:51
subscribe by doing so helps keep in the
16:52
loop nothing on future uploads here on

16:57
little it feels colder than 48 was it 48
