center over there
1:52
that exit is closed this just follows
1:55
around to the parking area

the circle used to be a racetrack the
2:01
richard petty
2:02
driving experience
2:04

2:06
in that fashion and you'll notice
2:09

the ferry boat and that'll put me at the
2:37

4:56
across the lagoon
4:59
monorail just went into the station
5:00
which we opted out of
5:02
it does take about the same time frame
5:04
commute wise once you're on board
5:06
whether it's the boat or the monorail
5:08
sometimes the wait times differ but but
5:10
the commute time is about the same
5:12

11:32
some people have too much water coming
11:34
out of the chunks guys let me reassure
11:36
you
11:37
it's not
11:55
you should have thought ahead on that
11:55
one
11:58
anyways guys we're reaching the last
11:59
part the most dangerous part of our
12:01
journey the return to mainland so make
12:03
sure you've got all those inside the
12:04
boat i hate to see them crushed on that
12:06
dock
12:07
it's a lot of work to clean it
12:10
and i like to leave an exciting now not
12:12
on a sad note
12:14
so
12:15
can i get to know you
12:16
oh yes
12:22
it stated that it was 35 minutes for big
12:24
thunder mountain railroad but it only
12:25
took about five it is currently 8 43
12:29
they're about to board big thunder
12:30
mountain railroad i like to call it best
12:31
to remove them quiet do you think we'll
12:33
be able to get off the glass after that
12:36
i hope some time we only got like 14 15
12:38
minutes yep
13:06
love this ride
13:06
oh what attraction called an attractor
13:48
you see the track down there and then
13:48
off in the distance
13:50
see the castle
13:52
you can see this little spire here
13:54
bigfoot and the goat
13:56
hello
14:16
i'm getting disoriented
14:20
i started getting a little disoriented
14:20
there for a moment
14:41
it's a whole different experience
14:53
i love it
14:53
we did it no ferry boat this time of the
14:55
year old fairy boat yeah that went
14:57
pretty well
14:58
after dark over liberty valve
15:04
you know for three minutes and 30
15:04
seconds that was the fastest ride in the
15:06
wilderness it was the wildest ride in
15:08
the wilderness
15:10
back row my personal favorite yeah i
15:12
like the front too but the back row is
15:14
always a an extra added excitement okay
15:17
let's try to get over to big thunder i
15:18
think we got a couple moments once as
15:20
long as we're in line it's all that
15:21
matters
15:26
three rides
15:26
in the last hour don't mind if i did
15:28
there's the switch track about 12
15:30
minutes to close yeah we're definitely
15:31
making it on splash it's happening now
15:33
this says 50 minute wait time i wonder
15:35
if that's right i wonder if it really is
15:37
50 minutes is it really 50 minutes i got
15:39
to wait and check two minutes till
15:41
walking in the door two minutes to nine
15:44
and i don't believe it is a 15-minute
15:46
wait i think it's probably gonna be like
15:47
a 15 or 20. 906
15:50
took 16 minutes
15:52
was it 35 16 minutes was the wait time
15:55
and now we're about to plummet
15:57
down that
15:58
six minutes after close
16:01
okay why is no one dropping in
16:04
someone gonna drop in like the water
16:06
cannons might be off
16:08
and they are oh that is good news yeah i
16:11
don't want to get thrown in no briar
16:13
patch
16:15
oh good thing oh we're going to go right
16:16
into that briar path
16:18
that is not going to be a pleasant
16:20
experience very very quickly
16:28
oh yeah the water can't as well
16:28
that would be a
16:30
quite a wet experience
16:36
this is it ride number three and uh just
16:36
over an hour an hour and six minutes
16:41
not bad at all three e-ticket
16:41
attractions yeah three tickets
16:44
in
16:45
66 minutes
16:55
oh there's no turning back
16:55
there's no turning back of the 50-foot
16:58
plummets
16:59
oh there's rare rabbit right there he's
17:01
going to be turned into rabbit stew
17:19
oh my camera's stuck
17:19
what
17:23
by the time it took me to walk over to
17:24
this angle of the castle it was now 9 33
17:26
pm me and the park has been closed for
17:28
33 minutes i'm now gonna make my way
17:30
walking right down the middle of main
17:32
street usa and heading up past the train
17:35
station and then we'll be getting on the
17:36
ferry boat once again and heading back
17:38
over again seven seas lagoon once i get
17:40
there but just kind of soaking in the
17:42
ambiance of this this hour of the
17:45
evening down main street and now on to
17:47
the general joe potter to depart
17:51
all right departing you can barely see
17:53
that hidden mickey rope over there but
17:55
departing and the monorail pulling off
17:58
there they have two different boats
18:02
loading up gas the one
18:04
we are on out of here is pulling away
18:06
from the dock and that's gonna do it for
18:08
today
18:10
oh yeah three attractions in just over
18:13
just over an hour at magic kingdom walt
18:16
disney world's magic kingdom
18:18
space mountain did not happen
18:20
over there in the distance
18:23
very beautiful departure across the
18:25
seven seas lagoon i'll see you in the
18:28
next video
18:30
the vlog this is kind of a last minute
18:32
decision to do this
18:34
i thought you know what i'm gonna just
18:36
see what i can do in the last hour
18:38
as stated i hardly ever do things in the
18:40
evening it's usually when it comes to
18:42
disney videos it's during the daylight
18:44
hours so this is a this is a little
18:46
different and a lot of fun
18:48
i'll see you next video the vlog
18:55
and exiting off the same dock
18:55
so when i headed over did not utilize
18:58
that dock
18:59
utilized this dock which the general joe
19:02
potter they are closing it up
19:05
good night
19:10
yes it's a paradox oh i see what you did
19:12
there one more for good measure
19:26
during the daylight hours this is a
19:26
mickey made out of 10
19:28
but it after
19:29
nightfall it's heavy metal mickey
19:32
because 10 i think is a metal right
19:34
heavy metal mickey
19:36
is this 10
19:38
i don't know it might be you know i
19:40
don't really know what that exactly is
19:42
it's so it's aluminum aluminum mickey
19:44
yeah i'm not gonna
19:47
do not recycle heavy metal mickey
19:50
i'm gonna recycle that joke
19:53
over and over and over every time now is
19:55
heavy metal mickey heavy metal mickey
20:05
okay it's light it's actually really not
20:05
that light we weren't even in there that
20:07
long i feel like we've been in the park
20:09
all day it's 1004.
20:11
we've only been here two hours
20:12
in and out
20:14
walking past heavy metal mickey
20:16
going into
20:18
the park and then back out within two
20:21
hours
20:25
heavy metal mortimer
20:29
what's his first name you just saw that
20:30
you just stopped that car alarm
20:33
what if you shattered the window with
20:34
your high-pitched squeal you're singing
20:36
yes
20:38
trying to show the
20:39
how the wind oh there it goes look look
20:41
at that perfect timing there's mortimer
20:44
right up there in the middle
20:46
mortimer was mickey's original name for
20:48
those
20:49
who did not realize it
20:51
they used it again for like some bully
20:53
who was like trying to get mickey's uh
20:55
girlfriend minnie
21:00
and lastly the parking situation at this
21:03
hour
21:04
okay one last thing
21:06
this was the richard petty driving
21:08
experience now it's a lake
21:11
and as i look the opposite direction
21:13
upon exiting the parking area there are
21:15
some pylons here
21:18
is this going to be a bridge an overpass
21:20
of some sort
21:22
what exactly are these
