0:13

0:20
a theme park i'm not going to use my ap
0:22

0:24
pay admission to go into parks but there
0:26
are some experiences that you can do
0:28
without going to said
0:30
theme parks the pontoon boats
0:33
are back i have not been on them in a
0:35
couple of years in fact during the
0:36
closures
0:38
they were gone for quite a while and at
0:40
the end of 2021 the pontoons are back so
0:44
myself gonna pick up a friend who's
0:46
staying on property we're gonna go over
0:47
there he's never been on the pontoons
0:49
i'm talking too much
0:51
join me
0:53
shall you
0:58
always reminds me of like the sound of
0:58
leather face with the chainsaw but it's
0:59
not
1:01
but one thing i've never noticed is
1:03
right here on the celebration market
1:05
street clock
1:06
is
1:08
the girl on the bicycle right there kind
1:10
of wedged on them up there she goes
1:14
on the minute hand it's been very hot
1:16
and humid the last couple days and rainy
1:18
i heard hollywood studios last night had
1:20
a little bit of a flood
1:22
down their hollywood boulevard today
1:24
it's a little overcast which i'm not
1:26
really complaining about
1:28
because the sun and me
1:30
don't really get along i ain't going to
1:32
pick up a coffee here going to go inside
1:34
and get myself a puppy caffeinated
1:36
beverage from the solar powered
1:38
mickey d's
1:39
just outside animal kingdom even got the
1:42
foliage golden arches over there made
1:44
out of completely out of greenery all
1:47
right bricky your channel is adventures
1:49
in design so give me your design
1:51
thoughts real quick like on this
1:53
solar-powered mickey d's what makes this
1:55
mcdonald's special is the attention to
1:57
design right all the modern design
2:00
better materials more eco-friendly but
2:02
also you take people on vacation out at
2:04
walt disney world and they do something
2:06
they normally do mcdonald's but then
2:08
that experience is up plus by a more
2:11
future
2:12
more
2:13
big thought mcdonald's so it takes
2:15
something that you normally do it makes
2:16
it more fun
2:18
made it over to the poly
2:21
and i have not seen
2:23
this new deck here has been built since
2:25
my last time and a monorail just went by
2:28
but there's another one here one of the
2:30
50th anniversary monorails up here on
2:32
the platform it's not fashion island
2:34
it's still
2:36
it's still the 50th
2:38
goes on for like a year and a half i
2:40
believe yeah
2:41
50th anniversary oh it's like this
2:43
little tiki here in the middle i have a
2:44
question for you
2:45
when we turn 50 are we going to
2:47
celebrate it for 18 months i still got
2:48
about two and a half years how long you
2:50
got two and a half years we're same age
2:52
now i'm noticing it appears as like as
2:54
the bon voyage goes over to mk it
2:56
appears as if the boat rentals that's
2:58
not a boat rental that's one that takes
3:00
guests over to magic kingdom but now
3:02
they move the boat rentals from pali
3:04
over to the grand floridian but they
3:06
used to be at this little station here
3:07
at the end of this dock right by the
3:09
polynesian resort i guess they moved
3:11
them just talked to a cast member and
3:13
they said in fact they have
3:17
moved the pontoons over to grand
3:19
floridia being a disneyland guy i always
3:21
thought it was bad
3:23
that you could see
3:24
uh cinderella's castle outside of the
3:26
park but coming out here i'm full on
3:29
board with how you can actually see the
3:30
castle from all the different resorts
3:32
like it's a beacon of magic and that
3:34
just wouldn't work in anaheim but here
3:36
it's perfect so that's something that i
3:38
got wrong
3:39
they are about to cross
3:48
oh and going by there the two boats
3:48
also a lot of people do ask that is not
3:50
on a track that is a trackless
3:53
fairy boat
3:54
real boat it's a real boat there is no
3:56
track along it's not like jungle cruise
3:58
that runs along oh
4:01
jungle cruise has to track
4:03
what
4:04
now you're gonna tell me the mark twain
4:06
has one too i get out of here this is
4:08
the disney wedding pavilion
4:11
and for quite a while they would have
4:12
the the gate open and accessible you
4:14
could go in there and kind of look
4:15
around but they no longer allow people
4:17
to do that but off in the distance
4:19
i can see the formation of tron that is
4:22
going to be pretty dang cool when that
4:23
attraction finally opens i don't believe
4:25
they've announced a date yet
4:28
and just to let anyone that might not
4:30
realize there is a memorial here i've
4:32
shown this before i always like to show
4:33
it when i'm
4:34
kind of walking along the perimeter here
4:36
of the water
4:37
to lane thomas
4:50
this beautiful lighthouse
4:50
right here along seven seas
5:05
now as the monorail goes by off in the
5:05
distance just want to show that here are
5:07
where the pontoons are now
5:15
oh take a look at this little mechanism
5:16
down here that's kind of spinning around
5:17
that's also solar
5:19
solar paneled is solar powered as well
5:22
now the price of this 45 dollars per
5:25
half hour and then after the first 30
5:27
minutes they pro rate
5:29
so
5:30
the way pro rate works is it's 45 and
5:33
then after that they will just take
5:34
whatever time frame it is and kind of
5:36
divide that but we're going to probably
5:38
stay out for i don't know an hour hour
5:40
and a half who knows
5:42
we're just going to stay out we have no
5:43
real game plan do we three hour tour
5:45
that's three
5:47
which one's gilligan and which one's the
5:49
skipper i think we all know the answer
5:50
comment below we were just discussing is
5:53
this
5:54
the firework cruise boat
5:57
firework cruise was it 399 that i looked
5:59
it up 399 comes with a a pilot or a
6:03
captain yeah and 10 people
6:05
you could fit 10 people on this
6:08
i would like to do the not the they did
6:10
a pirate cruise one time i would like to
6:11
do a firework cruise at one time uh they
6:15
say it's the little things yeah they say
6:17
the best things in life are free bricky
6:19
or 45 a half hour this is not free
6:23
but it's still fun
6:25
and you know if you do the math on it if
6:27
we stay out here for
6:30
let's say the two of us together
6:33
that's like we say out here an hour and
6:34
a half each that's cheaper than a
6:36
parking mission if you're buying parking
6:38
mission absolutely you got to kind of
6:40
weigh whichever you find more enjoyable
6:43
i like both of them but i just like to
6:45
because
6:46
variety is the spice of life yeah
6:49
got the little floating
6:51
buoy style on the keys
6:59
is that as fast it goes probably that's
6:59
probably the top speed right uh i
7:01
wouldn't go much faster in here because
7:02
we've got before we get around to the
7:04
other the no wake zone
7:11
and we're gonna see a lot
7:11
of monorails
7:12
throughout the course of the day there's
7:14
one going by there now
7:23
it's always a good way to spend the day
7:23
i did not know this going into today
7:26
but brickie is quite the connoisseur of
7:28
boats
7:29
says he rents them all the time back in
7:31
socal when he's home
7:33
do my christmas cruise every year with
7:34
all my buds
7:36
but you've never done a cruise
7:39
on seven seas no i've always been mono c
7:41
it's my first time ever going seven
7:45
monocy
7:47
got those little buoys over there too so
7:49
not supposed to go past those buoys
7:51
there's a buoy right there
7:53
let's stay on this side of the buoy
7:59
you are an expert driver
7:59
i am impressed
8:07
there's the wedding pavilion
8:07
oh if this doesn't wake
8:10
you up
8:25
i feel like i'm on the winnie the pooh
8:25
wait which winnie the pooh has the
8:26
bouncing it was around the same time
8:28
frame i don't know if anything from the
8:30
weight machine really still exists that
8:31
you can see from the shore without
8:34
getting on the island which we're not
8:36
allowed to do
8:41
but that rockwork theming there is
8:41
definitely probably from
8:42
that same time frame
8:44
so i always just assume that that is
8:46
left over from the wave machine area
8:52
if there wasn't as much foliage on the
8:52
island you'd probably see some small
8:55
buildings on there
9:01
you just pictured shape pack out here
9:01
water skiing water skiing jd driving the
9:03
boat jade who's jd joshua josh amara
9:06
just having a good time
9:09
executive style
9:16
a youthful chap out here
9:16
surfing the waves on seven seas yeah
9:19
with the white sunscreen on his nose
9:20
they're really promoting that fishing
9:22
that's that taking a fish in there oh
9:23
yeah they're upselling that
9:27
i also have to mention we just did a
9:28
video the other day talking about roy
9:32
you know on
9:33
when roy did his opening day speech roy
9:36
came out here on a boat probably wasn't
9:38
a pontoon it was a boat similar to the
9:39
bon voyage
9:47
and was out on the seven seas
9:48
in order to give honor to his brother
9:50
walt who had passed on
9:52
roy did not want to be in the park after
9:54
that speech to have
9:55
you know all the attention on him so he
9:57
left the park and he's out here on the
9:59
seven seas
10:00
oh there we go
10:02
not only the monorail
10:04
we might get a little little choppy
10:06
action on the water from that boat kind
10:08
of speeding by there
10:21
there are a lot of people inside the
10:23
park today too
10:25
a lot more elbow room out here on the
10:28
have slowed the boat down just a little
10:30
bit
10:31
because we have to wait for the guests
10:33
that are now approaching from ttc
10:36
over to mk
10:37
get the buoys
10:43
that's beautiful right there oh you can
10:43
hear it almost echoing off the water
10:46
that is so cool
10:54
look how many freaking people are on
10:54
that thing it is loaded holy cow
10:57
that thing is packed to the brim
11:05
there is no standing room left on that
11:05
thing
11:07
holy cow
11:09
i think they'd see us waving from here
11:12
try
11:14
no one's waving back
11:24
give it the horn bricky
11:32
see if anyone waves
11:32
someone wave
11:34
up there waving they're waving nice
11:47
right now
11:47
someone is asking their parents how do
11:49
we get on that boat
11:51
seeing the reveal that reveal
11:54
look at
11:54
that the reveal
12:11
under the times i have taken the boat
12:11
across from ttc
12:13
not this pontoon but the boat you see in
12:15
front of us
12:16
there's just something extra special
12:18
that's special enough but something
12:19
extra special about just
12:21
doing it in the privacy of your own
12:23
little pontoon
12:53
on a scale of one to ten how's your day
12:55
going
13:00
a 20. yeah
13:00
it's unbelievable
13:02
people always ask
13:04
if you had a job at disney world what
13:05
you want to do and i always said i'd
13:07
love to drive to mark twain
13:09
and uh out here being the very most
13:12
pilot with the amazing captain this is
13:20
mountain
13:21
about to go over the water bridge now
13:23
yeah have you ever been over a water
13:25
bridge before no i've made it but you've
13:28
been under it but never over the water
13:30
bridge
13:32
i should probably move my camera because
13:33
that's scaring me
13:35
this reminds me of one of my favorite
13:36
disney songs now if you look closely you
13:38
can see traffic right over there
13:41
coming out from underneath the bridge
13:43
and this does say slow use idle
13:46
speed but this is the water bridge
13:50
go very slow you don't want to create
13:52
too much weight because probably what
13:53
will happen is this will splash over
13:56
onto the
13:58
onto the road up look at this
14:00
beautiful monorail going by from this
14:02
end that's on the up other side of the
14:05
the track up there
14:08
here's the good view the bus is going
14:09
underneath
14:11
give him a hawk
14:23
speaking of design
14:23
that's an adventure in design
14:26
we're living it we're living it this is
14:28
unbelievable man
14:30
there's a boat following us too look at
14:43
oh we got a boat crossing over here too
14:43
yes
14:45
got a boat behind us
14:48
oh are we gonna do a shave and a haircut
14:51
we got a boat behind us
14:53
we're in the middle a boat here
14:59
oh boy
15:00
oh boy cap that's the mermaid one right
15:02
there
15:07
that is awesome
15:07
gonna get a little bounce
15:09
gonna get a little bouncy
15:16
is monroe going over our heads
15:18
oh
15:20
so good
15:26
perfection right now is if a monorail
15:26
just rolled out of the
15:28
just out of rolled out of the
15:30
contemporary
15:31
who's in there right now it's gonna be
15:32
popping out
15:34
you're calling it yeah i saw it going in
15:36
oh blue's in there you said
15:45
oh this is so cool
15:51
i haven't even taken the wheel yet
15:53
you're just enjoying driving
15:55
the motorboats
15:58
i think we may have just created a new
16:00
habit for you next every time you're at
16:01
it wdw
16:03
but i'm gonna come in a captain soon
16:05
next time
16:07
look at that that's beautiful
16:09
that is
16:14
i mean if you love the idea of walt
16:14
disney world and what it represents
16:16
outside of the attractions
16:18
this is one of the best experiences you
16:20
can have just to really take in how big
16:22
the footprint is
16:23
all right there's someone out for the
16:25
fishing cruise
16:37
another reveal of space mountain over
16:42
contemporary and bay lake tower side by
16:42
side
16:49
now slowly making our way up to
16:49
the old docks of river country
16:53
the abandoned water park first water
16:54
park at walt disney world
16:57
closed for many reasons because part of
16:59
it was chlorinated but then also
17:01
part of the attractions ran off of bay
17:04
lake water
17:08
so you don't really see that too much
17:08
anymore i have a little bit of a history
17:11
with river country
17:13
not to dive into too many details but
17:15
there's the dock over there there's a
17:18
got a bird kind of waiting in the water
17:20
remembering
17:22
the disney history
17:23
now it deep the last d23 that happened
17:25
which has been a few years ago
17:27
it made a big announcement about a new
17:30
dvc hotel that was going to be opening
17:32
right here
17:33
and of course during the closures of
17:35
2020 that has been scrapped
17:44
they tore down
17:44
most of where river country was
17:47
i don't know if there's any relics up in
17:48
there they started putting some concrete
17:50
pylons and whatnot in there and those
17:53
are still sitting there but the entire
17:54
deep new dvc area
17:57
is not happening or at least has been
18:01
put on hold there was going to be a
18:02
whole dvc hotel right here
18:04
all i really see is some concrete and a
18:06
berm
18:08
they've kind of
18:09
pushed all the
18:14
the dirt and sod up into a berm over
18:14
there so the fun story about the shoe
18:16
tree
18:17
all the boat captains this is what this
18:19
is hearsay so i don't know i've never
18:21
completely confirmed this but all the
18:22
boat captains
18:24
cast members that work out here when
18:26
they would read either retire or begin
18:29
i can't remember which it is
18:31
but they would they are allowed to go
18:33
out here run parallel to the shoe tree
18:35
and then throw
18:37
their cast members shoes up in the tree
18:39
so what you're seeing in the tree are
18:41
cast member shoes from boat captains who
18:45
have
18:46
retired or started i'm gonna probably
18:48
probably say retired i would guess that
18:50
makes more sense
18:59
and that is something you cannot see
18:59
unless you do a boat tour ah this is a
19:01
moment you don't see too often
19:04
one of the ttc ferry boats is being put
19:07
away
19:08
way back over here at bay lake
19:10
that is going through the little secret
19:12
tunnel
19:13
that goes around backstage
19:16
very very rarely do you see one of the
19:19
ttc boats
19:20
out of seven seas lagoon and over at bay
19:23
lake but that is what is happening right
19:25
now off in the distance
19:27
take a look at that
19:29
that's pretty cool that's a rarity you
19:31
don't see that too often might have
19:32
discovered something that i personally
19:34
have never noticed before
19:44
way over here on the outskirts of bay
19:44
lake
19:45
there appears to be
19:47
an abandoned cabin at fort wilderness
20:00
tucked away over there in the foliage it
20:01
that is a true relic right there
20:06
wow
20:10
what do you think that was
20:10
a cabin it looks like it might have been
20:12
some sort of like
20:14
checkpoint or
20:16
some sort of utility type a utility
20:19
something for fort wilderness yeah or
20:21
like maybe that was an area where you
20:22
like checked in to something like a
20:24
registration yeah
20:27
why has that not been torn down that is
20:29
amazing
20:34
wow i don't know i get we got really
20:34
excited about this that's cool see the
20:36
shingles over there and everything and
20:37
the little porch in the back window oh
20:39
we got a tag along bird right up there
20:41
hello bird
20:42
right up top and another up hello bird
20:45
i see you up there bird i see your
20:46
feathers and there was another bird
20:48
so you got that bird and then going over
20:51
to space mountain space mountain
20:54
they must have a lightning lane res
20:56
lightning lane
20:57
what do you think of lightning lane bird
20:59
you want to do the standby with us okay
21:02
i'm not allowed to film while i'm
21:03
driving i think if it's in parking
21:05
neutral baby but while you're behind the
21:07
wheel you have to have this
21:09
wrist strap on
21:11
and then i got a little co-pilot up here
21:13
too the bird
21:24
also they give you this wristband to let
21:25
you know that you've rented the boat i
21:27
don't know how else you get on one of
21:29
these boats without the wristband but
21:30
they gave you the wristband anyway
21:36
let's move over to discovery island
21:36
which is right over here the old
21:38
discovery island
21:51
and notice there
21:51
a little relic of discovery island
21:54
that's part one of the old docks
21:56
that is so cool this stuff exists still
21:58
on discovery island
22:01
there's worse ways to spend the day
22:49
i want to raise both my hands but i got
22:50
thing strapped on here
22:52
the boating shackle the boating jacket
23:02
there goes
23:02
the monorail
23:34
coaching
23:36
yeah
23:43
we're about to switch off brookie's
23:43
gonna get behind the wheel again i just
23:45
wanted to show right here
23:48
it's pretty much the money shot right
23:49
here you got the castle they just did a
23:52
little
23:53
little pyro happen i missed that
23:56
but
23:56
train station boats pulling in might get
23:59
a monorail going by you can just idle
24:03
this is perfectly acceptable to just
24:04
idle
24:06
right in front of the castle
24:08
i have to say this is one of the best
24:10
views that a disney fan could ever get
24:12
of a disney park this is so close
24:14
without being in there yeah
24:18
this shot
24:20
adam that's the train station right
24:21
there thanks for playing this today man
24:23
this is amazing
24:29
i would imagine most of the rides and
24:29
attractions in there are probably an
24:31
hour or more if you don't have lightning
24:33
lane
24:35
wait time to rent one of these boats was
24:37
about
24:38
20 seconds
24:40
it took longer to write up the paperwork
24:42
it's a way
24:47
i mean i like being in the park don't
24:47
get me wrong
25:05
i think that's pretty much most people
25:05
realize that by now though
25:13
now from here there's one other thing i
25:13
want to point out
25:14
right over at this little channel
25:17
there's a bridge off in the distance i'm
25:19
going to show where that is that's where
25:21
the parade floats the water pageant
25:23
floats
25:24
pull out every evening
25:26
i'll show that little bridge over here
25:28
whoa we're getting some wake
25:30
getting some wake
25:36
that was a little over a year of gosh
25:36
maybe a year and a half
25:38
give or take maybe even two years when
25:40
they built the
25:41
the walkway that runs
25:43
from grand floridian
25:45
over to magic kingdom that's over there
25:48
and this bridge whenever they bring the
25:50
floats out
25:51
turns kind of shifts to one side so the
25:54
floats can go beside it and if you look
25:56
really closely back there
25:58
you can see the water pageant floats
26:01
waiting for tonight's performance after
26:04
nightfall rears its head branding this
26:06
seven seas bay lake adventure
26:08
with the monorail going by
26:14
i think i'm going to do the outro right
26:14
here
26:15
that's going to do it for today
26:17
from me and brickie adventures in design
26:20

26:22

26:31

26:32
nailed it
26:34
pulling back into
26:35
the station
26:42
i just want to add in i would highly
26:42
recommend doing this
26:48
if you have the funds and you have
26:48
enough people to fill up a pontoon
26:50
do the math on it it's a good experience
26:52
oh and one last one just for good
26:55
measure
26:57
just for good
27:00
i just can't stop
27:02
i just can't stop showing these
27:07
and it didn't rain on us i'm surprised
27:14
that was us out there
27:14
well not in the fast speed boat but the
27:17
the
27:18
pontoon was us when we were kings
