restaurant inside located at one two two
1:23
one
1:24
harbor just kind of spouting up there
1:27
almost as if a volcano made out of
1:29
little pebbles
1:31
went ahead and got my parking pass it
1:33
was an additional 18
1:35
on top of top of everything else i'll
1:38
tell you once i'm up
1:39
in the room i believe mine is on the
1:41
other side of this facing
1:43
the pool but it does include in and out
1:45
privileges which is good even though i'm
1:47
staying here by myself i have paid for
1:49
two beds
1:50
got a couple friends meeting up a little
1:52
later
1:53
for some pool time and the pool is open
1:56
also wanted to
1:57
show this electric vehicle charging
2:00
stations here
2:00
on site as well my my car is not
2:03
electric but
2:04
it's good to know
2:12
there he is right there in the lobby
2:12
they have this little food court area
2:14
which is nice
2:15
and just past the reception desk is the
2:17
seating area with nice little
2:18
little glass looking upward souvenir
2:20
stand and gift shop does not appear to
2:22
be open during these times however
2:24
appears to be a little bar out there
2:26
that maybe that'll be open
2:27
later on we'll get got a reservation for
2:29
the pool later up to the
2:31
fifth floor oh it's uh you can see out
2:33
that's that's pretty cool so i got to go
2:35
to number up on the top level number
2:38
five heading upwards
2:41
oh yes i see some nice seats down there
2:44
oh
2:45
whoa i can see that i can see small
2:48
world over there
2:49
that's a good sign and a pool down there
2:52
a little another little seating
2:53
arrangement over there in the corner
2:56
oh yeah that's good so i'm going to be
2:59
off this level
3:01
i'll find out where my room is
3:03
momentarily
3:05
level five
3:16
old school glass elevator gotta love
3:16
that
3:24
faintly see the crane there above that
3:24
building
3:29
mickey and minnie railroad is going
3:29
vertical just over there
3:30
most obvious is the traffic noise
3:34
in the five freeway that's zooming by
3:38
i could see the castle from here as well
4:09
wow so close
4:09
walked around to the other side right
4:12
there is the
4:13
entrance and the corner of harbor and
4:16
fall road
4:18
a little quieter on this side if you're
4:20
deciding on choosing a room i went for
4:23
the pool view
4:30
in hopes of being a oh there's also
4:30
ice machine here
4:48
now my room is not here on this corner
4:48
it's a little farther down that way
4:51
so i don't know maybe
4:55
10 doors down almost to the other end
4:57
but still on
4:58
on the pool view side
5:15
hey i'm in the light on well this light
5:15
already is on
5:17
right there you see my reflection
5:23
subtly in the desk lamp that's a nice
5:23
desk
5:30
yeah and then there's me again
5:30
over there in the mirror we have tv here
5:34
up elevated on the the wall oh i gotta
5:37
keep up with
5:38
tradition
5:49
telephone got the remote
5:49
here this desk is huge
5:52
little trash can down there some drawers
5:55
it's always
5:55
extra special when places that are
5:59
providing accommodations will give you a
6:00
couple of waters that goes a long way
6:03
in my book there is one of the beds
6:08
and here is the other four
6:11
different pillows on each one
6:25
very nice and up there
6:25
is a photograph
6:30
pixar pier well back when it was
6:30
paradise pier
6:35
change the name a few a couple years ago
6:35
and here we got some
6:37
roll toilet paper some towels
6:41
into the tub section
6:44
with more towels always like to
6:49
take a look at this just to see what
6:51
kind of nozzle
6:58
we're paying attention to more there we
6:58
have some
6:59
body wash brand name active
7:03
just disperse it right out of there
7:06
then kick these lights on that's not it
7:09
that's the light here's the sink
7:14
and yeah it seems like they're going
7:16
with the active brand a ctiv
7:19
for body care soap and
7:23
body care lotion
7:32
nice very nice
7:32
i like it a lot it's a lot quieter in
7:34
here once that door is closed
7:37
really don't hear the traffic as much
7:39
opened up the cabinet space and
7:40
discovered
7:41
there's a safe here a mini fridge
7:45
down below nothing on this level
7:50
there's also a door leading to the other
7:52
room you can
7:53
kind of hear the neighbors but nothing
7:54
too too drastic up here
7:57
is a iron plenty of places to put your
8:00
clothes
8:01
an ironing board and there's some
8:05
water running i'm hearing in the
8:08
background
8:09
okay it stopped i think that was the top
8:12
portion
8:14
yeah it was just it was just filling up
8:16
i guess it does that at random
8:19
it could be solved by just closing the
8:21
door
8:23
if you don't want to hear that that
8:24
probably maybe that's just like a
8:26
a usual thing but back to this i like
8:30
this
8:30
full body mirror here there's me
8:34
full body mirror so i can see myself
8:36
here
8:37
i can see myself here hello
8:41
total cost with the exception of the
8:43
parking i mentioned
8:45
a bit ago 109 that is also
8:48
on a weekend evening
8:51
with a check-in at 3 00 p.m check out
8:54
tomorrow morning at 11 a.m for 109
8:58
16 and a few pennies of that
9:01
were taxes additional fees
9:04
etc a pretty good deal
9:08
just maybe a quarter of a mile from the
9:13
pedestrian interest on i always say
9:15
pedestrian interest when i mean to say
9:17
pedestrian entrance it's like one of
9:22
those
9:22
things that gets me tongue-tied there's
9:24
a few of those there's a few of those
9:26
putting different words together that
9:28
always give me pedestrian
9:30
entrance hair dryer if needed there
9:34
and this is not off brand you're using
9:38
the good stuff
9:45
well i i'm assuming this is it says
9:45
professional
9:46
professional grade did not discover a
9:50
coffee pot however anywhere
9:54
in here thinking maybe down at the lobby
9:57
they serve some this is the air
9:59
conditioner unit
10:00
right here on the side right now i have
10:03
it turned
10:04
off i had it on cool it down and i
10:06
turned it off i don't really run the air
10:07
too much
10:08
sometimes i'll kick the fan on which is
10:11
nice it has a fan option as well where
10:13
you can run the fan and not the ac
10:16
just to keep the noise but with that
10:17
traffic faintly in the distance that
10:19
kind of acts as
10:21
as a fan sound i kind of like it
10:26
now keep in mind these prices are based
10:28
on
10:29
this theme park which is just next door
10:33
being closed you know you have to keep
10:35
you have to also just kind of do the
10:36
math on that when
10:38
you know crowds start rolling back into
10:40
town
10:41
it could change quite a bit and
10:44
you know sleeping in this bed could go
10:46
up a couple dollars
10:48
this is the price currently september
10:50
2020 well not just for
10:52
for one bed but for two beds
10:56
let's do a noise traffic test the door
10:58
is closed
11:13
looking downward on that fountain and
11:13
circular pattern there leading towards
11:15
the lobby
11:16
also i paid a couple extra dollars for
11:22
there's different options you don't want
11:24
the pool view if you just rather have
11:26
this it might be a
11:30
maybe five or ten dollars a little less
11:33
as i've stated before
11:35
if you're just going to the parks and
11:37
staying all day then coming back to
11:38
sleep
11:39
doesn't really matter just a place to
11:41
lay your head
11:43
really wouldn't know all this is just
11:44
kind of tucked away in here
11:46
and parking's on the other side you
11:48
cannot gain entry
11:50
to this area without going through the
11:53
lobby
11:55
it's kind of a hidden gem back in here
11:57
my suggestion
12:00
just my personal preference
12:08
is to request a room that's not on this
12:08
side
12:09
however
12:24
if it's in your budget you would you
12:24
would avoid this
12:33
the one i'm in is right over here it
12:33
makes a big difference
12:34
just being that distance away tucked
12:38
away there
12:39
big difference a good angle of the fun
12:42
wheel
12:42
way over there past small world
12:46
matterhorn peeking up over the tree line
12:50
and credit coaster
13:10
a very cozy sitting spot
13:10
down there also with a tropical
13:19
amount of well not a tropical amount of
13:19
trees i was gonna save that doesn't make
13:20
any sense
13:22
but lots of palm trees
13:29
driven past this so many times never
13:29
realized this was in here
13:46
oh i got my hopes up it's not for the
13:46
general public
13:49
i was thinking there was a rooftop
13:51
hangout spot
13:53
but there's not
14:00
this is the farthest up you can go
14:00
number five so roof access
14:04
specifically for hotel employees
14:07
and then over from this perspective
14:11
another parking area which unbeknownst
14:14
to me until now
14:16
goes directly under this overpass
14:21
i knew the overpass went over the
14:23
freeway but there's parking underneath
14:25
it
14:35
gas station there on the corner another
14:35
gas station convenience store there and
14:37
a taco bell i think it might even be a
14:39
starbucks over there
14:40
i'll walk down there and look
14:57
and one with the foliage my reservation
14:57
is for
14:58
6 30 for the pool said i get an hour but
15:01
if it's not too busy in there
15:03
stay in a little bit longer gotta go
15:04
pick up my friends that's why i drove
15:06
the car
15:07
so i have in and out privilege but i
15:08
notice over there inside the little pool
15:10
area
15:11
is also some ping pong tables so might
15:14
utilize that
15:15
a little later as well can't get over
15:17
there they haven't they have this whole
15:19
thing set up
15:28
yep there was a starbucks about a one
15:28
minute walk
15:30
they also have coffee down in the lobby
15:31
but you know
15:33
you want starbucks they got it right
15:34
here crosstalk
15:36
didn't look like it was open however
15:40
there's the four points right there even
15:42
though it wasn't very far
15:44
depending on how kind that light is and
15:46
the walk signal
15:48
it could take you a bit to get back over
15:50
here that's what i had to wait there for
15:52
a while but i'm back
15:58
they have a coin control cart here at
15:58
the lobby next to the register at the
15:59
snack bar i never
16:01
never seen that before also a microwave
16:03
down here with some cereal
16:04
snacks chips and then over there in the
16:07
corner all
16:08
kinds of different different items also
16:10
here in the refrigerated case
16:11
wasn't expecting but the gentleman over
16:13
there at the snack bar gave me the
16:15
coffee complimentary and gave him a
16:16
couple dollar tip but still
16:18
pretty nice that they they fill up the
16:19
coffee for free now i know a lot of
16:21
places
16:22
have coffee pots in the room and coffee
16:25
in the lobbies
16:26
they do not have a self-serve coffee
16:29
only the one at that snack area so
16:32
it's good to know that they will give
16:35
you a complimentary cup
16:51
always good to see how comfortable the
16:54
bed is
16:56
not taking the coffee on there by the
16:59
nightstand
17:03
you always want a bed for it's good for
17:03
some slumbering
17:06
oh wow i was not expecting this level of
17:11
of comfort and just my torso just sank
17:15
into it when i plummeted myself upon it
17:19
yeah this is good very comfortable
17:22
i like it realize i didn't put any
17:26
cream or sugar and just put a little bit
17:28
there
17:29
and then got the creamer here
17:38
little half and half driftwood dairy
17:38
since 1920.
17:55
oh dang my monorail towel has you're
17:56
taking up the other bed
17:58
biting it's biting its time until the
18:01
pool becomes available
18:32
i noticed the sun is still out it's just
18:32
about to set
18:33
walked over the freeway here because how
18:36
often does this happen where you get a
18:38
very unique
18:40
perspective
18:51
almost makes the sun that is about to
18:51
set
18:52
look like the moon above star wars land
18:57
galaxy's edge down there
19:09
with the hotel there you can also just
19:09
you know pan a bit
19:14
it's gone vertical over at few boy that
19:14
is really
19:15
moving along quickly very quickly
19:20
it is going to be nice i think they
19:21
think they push the completion date back
19:24
to 2022
19:27
but after going on this in florida
19:29
hollywood studios
19:30
i am ready to have it here
19:42
it is now time pool time
19:42
and look who arrived
19:48
i was gonna he's gonna jump in but i
19:48
think instead i'm just gonna go
19:50
walk in starting with the three three
19:53
feet
19:54
and see oh it's a little brisk it's a
19:56
little brisk
20:15
what do you think the temperature is if
20:15
you had if you had to put a gas on it um
20:26
66.6 is that what you were going to say
20:26
the mark of the beast
20:32
once you're in here though that's the
20:32
thing once you're in get
20:40
think of all the commuters on the five
20:40
freeway
20:43
they never know i never even knew this
20:46
back
20:48
oh yeah that's right we found our spot
20:51
right here
20:51
here it is is there a seat right there
20:54
oh no no
20:55
we're making a seat by floating
20:57
technique katie
20:59
it doesn't have that much muscle and
21:01
strength yeah i wouldn't go that far
21:12
oh look at this swimming
21:12
seated i'm just keeping on swimming just
21:15
keep swimming
21:16
i'm going towards disneyland right there
21:18
i see it i see the crane
21:26
yes it's the crane i see it oh that's
21:26
awesome
21:28
water is very cloudy
21:31
doesn't it appear cloudy or is it maybe
21:33
it's the no it definitely is a little
21:36
the clarity the clarity level
21:40
i first see from a distance i thought
21:42
that said 12 feet
21:43
there's really four feet 1.2 meters
21:48
there i don't think there's a deep end
21:49
here there's no defense it's all just
21:50
four feet all the way around
21:53
but i mean i really smell the chlorine
21:56
and the hot tub
21:57
which we're on the other side with the
21:59
hot tub has
22:00
maybe about 16 people in it 17.
22:03
17 people yes so we're going to stay
22:07
over here
22:08
the precise reference that circle right
22:10
there is just about
22:12
the diameter of the spa yeah and it has
22:15
about 16 people that's about that's
22:16
about an accurate description which if
22:18
it was just the three of us we could fit
22:19
in there but
22:20
we're not gonna disturb everyone who's
22:22
over there we gotta we're just gonna
22:24
stay in our little area
22:27
