Transcript
0:03
today's adventure begins at 4 37
0:03
p.m just now pulling through
0:06
the bottom level of the disneyland
0:09
parking structure i've just paid the 25
0:13
fee since annual passes are a thing of
0:16
the past
0:18
no complimentary parking included on
0:20
your ap
0:22
so 25 is the fee which is a little bit
0:25
of a
0:26
it's an unusual feeling when you're used
0:27
to just pulling up
0:29
showing your annual pass and then
0:31
heading to the top
0:37
by the way my rental car is really
0:37
i say it's struggling but it's having a
0:39
fun time trying to get up oh
0:40
the top's blocked off going to the
0:43
second
0:44
from the top level that works too
0:48
welcome everyone adam the woo here has
0:50
the recording of this
0:51
also i brought my umbrella even there's
0:53
only a few hours left
0:55
before nightfall starts to rear its head
0:59
also put these on these will not be
1:01
necessary
1:02
as the late afternoon progresses
1:06
july 20th 2021
1:09
is as a recording of this
1:13
the moment in we'll stay in question but
1:16
the moment that is happening
1:17
the last day that i will be heading
1:20
inside
1:21
disneyland for quite some time
1:24
now i will be in there again but it will
1:27
not be
1:27
any time in the immediate future and the
1:30
reason
1:30
for that is i no longer have an annual
1:33
pass because
1:34
annual passes here on the west coast
1:36
have been erased
1:38
from existence i'm inviting you to join
1:42
me
1:43
shall you from this view of the
1:45
structure you can see
1:46
big thunder mountain railroad
1:55
as well as the icy slopes of the
1:58
matterhorn
1:59
i purchased a five-day ticket and this
2:02
will be the last of my five days
2:05
from that five-day ticket i did not
2:07
realize
2:08
when i purchased it a while back i mean
2:10
months and months and months ago
2:12
that when you use it the first day you
2:14
only have 13
2:15
maybe 14 days before it expires
2:19
so i had to cram in all five days
2:22
within two weeks and this is this is the
2:25
moment
2:26
that i'm using the fifth day now i did
2:28
purchase a secondary
2:30
five-day ticket but i don't want to put
2:32
that
2:33
and you know have that start going into
2:35
action by by using the first day
2:37
until later in the year so i've just
2:39
decided that
2:40
this is going to be my last time going
2:43
in here
2:44
you know unless something amazing
2:46
happens possibly the halloween season
2:48
and other things like that but i am not
2:50
going to be stepping inside of walt's
2:53
original magic kingdom too much over the
2:56
next let's say
2:57
month or so and since there are no trams
2:59
currently
3:00
in operation they have converted the
3:03
transformer tram route will be a tram
3:05
route again but they have converted the
3:06
tram route
3:07
into a walking platform not platform but
3:10
a walkway like a a
3:11
glorified sidewalk into the park which
3:14
is pretty neat you can never do this
3:15
before this is the first time i've done
3:16
this since being back i usually go in on
3:18
the harbor side by the time i parked
3:20
and one way i'm kind of glad i didn't do
3:21
this walkway path before now because it
3:24
is a heck of a long stroll through here
3:26
there's all this signage that is up they
3:28
try to keep you engaged as you're
3:30
walking but
3:30
there is no way unless you are on foot
3:33
or push or
3:34
pushing a cart of some sort there's
3:35
really no way of
3:37
of getting through here unless you just
3:39
completely are hoofing it
3:41
all the way from point a to point b i
3:43
can imagine
3:44
after a long day at the park walking all
3:46
the way back
3:47
over to the structure would be very
3:48
tiresome and very time consuming
3:51
yeah the trams are surely missed here on
3:54
the
3:55
west coast now in florida they they do
3:57
not have the trams running yet either
3:59
but you can park a little bit closer to
4:01
ttc
4:02
and to the parks than i feel like this
4:04
is out here in anaheim yeah this is a
4:06
long stroll
4:08
to get into either disneyland or dca if
4:10
you so choose
4:11
perfect timing as the train arrives
4:14
up on the side of the train station
4:16
there says it is
4:17
5 12 p.m so yeah it took
4:21
it took a little bit of a time you have
4:23
to have some patience and you have to
4:25
have some
4:26
yeah you gotta you got to just plan on
4:27
getting your steps in walking that
4:28
former tram route that is not no has no
4:30
trams at the moment
4:31
also this is the current guide map at
4:33
the time a sleeping beauty castle right
4:36
there on the front of the guide map
4:38
and all its glory very beautiful i'll
4:40
show you my my ticket as well
4:42
just to kind of show that it to you if
4:43
you have 13 days to use it now as an
4:45
annual pass holder just makes sense to
4:47
pop in
4:48
at any time you want but when you have
4:49
to purchase day tickets
4:51
you kind of see things a little bit
4:53
different way i always do love going in
4:55
underneath
4:57
underneath the train the train is now
4:58
going directly over
5:00
my head with the new jungle cruise
5:02
poster here
5:03
of course you have mansion these
5:05
oversized
5:06
posters that are all along here you got
5:09
indy you got even oh
5:10
even a little space mountain
5:13
over here you know what i need to do
5:14
space mountain i haven't done that since
5:16
i've been back
5:16
that's not a bad idea you know i think
5:18
i'm going to go on that first and
5:19
foremost a little space mountain here at
5:21
disneyland yeah my first time back here
5:23
at the disneyland space mountain
5:24
since my return just walked through
5:26
fantasyland and it is very very busy but
5:29
very interesting there is no one over
5:31
here near the wishing well
5:32
which is unusual i had a kind of a clear
5:34
view of the wishing well
5:36
i haven't even strolled through this
5:38
area since i've been back so pretty cool
5:40
and of course
5:40
grumpy's rumpy over there over there
5:43
little old school reference
5:44
for back of the day such a peaceful
5:46
little area here off to the side
5:49
of the castle yeah and rarely will you
5:52
see this place not being
5:55
completely engulfed in gas
5:58
very very nice with the bridge here with
6:00
the hearts on the side
6:02
and of course the castle off over there
6:05
being kind of silhouetted out by the sun
6:07
space mountain was not working it was
6:10
not quite
6:10
operational for whatever reason so i've
6:13
opted for
6:14
astro orbiter that's a pretty good angle
6:16
there of the sun
6:17
the sun burst going through astro
6:19
orbiter not only like maybe a 10-minute
6:21
wait for
6:22
for the rockets here as i wait here i'm
6:24
kind of noticing over to the side they
6:25
still have the the plexiglas
6:27
type items there along the old keeper
6:29
mover rocket rod
6:31
hey mel track someone behind me is
6:33
calling for
6:34
for mel i'm looking at this that if they
6:36
ever redo the people move they're gonna
6:37
have to tear
6:38
all of this out to make it work you
6:40
never know there might be a tomorrowland
6:42
reefer years from now this is mine i
6:45
have
6:46
i have procured this one i got my
6:48
umbrella down there on the side
6:51
oh going up going up making hope up
6:54
going up
6:54
up up and away a grand little i could
6:57
call it a grand circle tour
6:58
put a loop-de-loop around well
7:01
technically tomorrowland is tomorrowland
7:03
is this the entrance
7:04
of tomorrowland you can see back into
7:07
there but then you also get the beauty
7:09
of main street usa and the hub and the
7:11
batter horn
7:12
and all that behind me i'm wearing an
7:14
epcot shirt
7:15
but you know it's appropriate to wear an
7:17
east coast shirt
7:18
on the west coast this is only a 90
7:21
attraction only 90 seconds a minute and
7:23
a half have typed it
7:25
before loading on this
7:28
is almost lengthier than the ride itself
7:32
it's very difficult when you're by
7:33
yourself okay now i'm gonna sit back now
7:36
it's difficult when you're by yourself
7:38
to kind of go
7:39
up and down the mechanism is right there
7:42
so you have this little mechanism but
7:44
once it's already up it stays up
7:46
i'm not even touching this anymore so if
7:49
you wait for it i think it's going to
7:50
descend soon
7:51
i'm going to make the announcement soon
7:53
count it down one two
7:55
three and announcements
7:58
okay there it is i'm the pilot
8:01
i was the pilot of this rocket not the
8:04
rocket rods the rocket rods
8:06
were right up there this is the astro
8:08
orbiter i went up into
8:09
the atmosphere the astro fear the
8:12
atmosphere astrophere
8:13
oh yes finally back i will be going on
8:15
pirates of the caribbean west coast
8:17
edition
8:18
i'm excited i don't know why i've
8:19
avoided this till now but it's happening
8:21
pirate time
8:22
stated it was only a 15-minute wait yeah
8:24
it is good to be
8:25
back here in this little courtyard the
8:28
lengthier of the two pirates
8:30
here in the u.s about twice the length
8:32
of the one in
8:33
central florida and there are two drops
8:36
here
8:37
comparable to wdw or you can kind of see
8:41
the sign this
8:42
tree limb is obscuring the sinus there
8:44
that says pirates
8:47
i've never timed out the difference the
8:49
length time but i'm just i'm just going
8:50
to go out on a
8:51
you know a limb and say this is about
8:53
twice the length
8:55
yeah i think that's what it is
8:59
looks like they're doing a little
9:00
construction here in new orleans square
9:03
right along the little balcony here a
9:05
lot of they have all the scaffolding up
9:06
and the
9:07
little overlays the scrim they call it
9:11
a thrilling adventure cruise through
9:13
dark mysterious caverns
9:15
oh yes sail with the tide
9:18
greeted by captain barbosa oh look
9:21
there's the boats
9:23
i'm in here i always like how the boats
9:25
run parallel to the queue line about to
9:27
board one of these boats and head
9:29
inward now going through the bayou here
9:32
the darkness and murkiness
9:36
see the fireflies over there the
9:38
fireflies all
9:40
like flying around over in the
9:43
shadows of the darkness
9:59
just to show how wet i got the umbrella
9:59
that was sitting next to me just to the
10:00
side
10:01
this is how wet and moist this umbrella
10:03
got my umbrella
10:04
it's almost like i was out in the rain i
10:06
think i got wet on this as i do on
10:07
splash mountain
10:08
i would like to get a pirate shirt but i
10:10
don't really see any that are
10:12
kind of catching my eye there's this one
10:14
which i haven't i don't think i've ever
10:15
seen that one before
10:16
oh it's all fun and games until someone
10:19
needs
10:19
an eye patch this one down here is kind
10:22
of an
10:23
illusion so you see it it's a not only a
10:26
face
10:26
of a skull but it's also some of the
10:29
scenes from
10:30
pirates right there with the mouth and
10:32
the eyes the the ships make up the eyes
10:34
and the rock work over here
10:36
make up the eyes fancy socks here too
10:39
with a very impressive beard
10:42
suck it to me passing by mansion gonna
10:45
go over to winnie the pooh which only
10:46
has a five minute wait
10:48
a little west coast pooh which i haven't
10:50
been on
10:51
and i haven't been on that in a while
10:52
either so pretty neat one thing i really
10:54
like about this attraction is they still
10:56
have some remnants in here of country
10:57
bear jamboree where pooh is kind of
10:59
dangling
11:00
from the roof from this basket country
11:02
bear throwback
11:03
and then also the three heads along the
11:05
wall you can kind of barely see them up
11:06
there
11:07
they have moved them and put those up
11:08
there as an homage to country bear
11:10
here on pooh cheers for poo cheers for
11:14
who got eeyore over here the socks of
11:17
eeyore
11:18
also chip and dale you get the novelty
11:20
socks
11:21
are eleven dollars when you buy two
11:23
that's actually not too bad of a deal
11:26
the old eeyore getting a view of the
11:28
train going by rivers of america
11:30
on the forefront of galaxy's edge over
11:32
there in the distance
11:33
you could call this magic hour with the
11:34
sun glistening there off the horizon
11:36
don't be confused that's not the
11:38
matterhorn over there that's the tree
11:39
horn
11:40
it is a tree in the shape of the
11:42
matterhorn to disguise the matterhorn
11:44
from over here in new orleans square so
11:46
you don't see the matterhorn except when
11:47
you look at it from a distance
11:49
it looks like the matterhorn the tree
11:51
horn or
11:52
the the matter tree it is now time for
11:56
indiana jones and the temple of the
11:58
forbidden eye
11:59
it is a big mistake i think i might have
12:02
got it
12:03
this is not good not good at
12:06
all as always very very thrilling
12:09
because also you can decode this with
12:11
the decoder
12:12
they used to give out this language here
12:14
can be decoded
12:16
just got to follow these sides says this
12:18
way
12:19
out okay there's the exit a long walk
12:22
out says go back
12:24
wrong way let's okay i got to go this
12:27
this is how i head out knock out this
12:30
one
12:36
always a good time kind of like get your
12:36
back in order you don't need a
12:37
chiropractor after that
12:38
still a lot of people in line to go in
12:42
there's dark out now yeah you can see
12:44
nightfall out there
12:46
dusk this and the matterhorn are very
12:50
similar like i really love
12:52
both of those attractions but they
12:55
really
12:56
posh around quite a bit matterhorn and
12:59
indy you will get quite a bit of being
13:01
kind of jarred back and forth so
13:04
keep that in mind and also fun fact kind
13:07
of hard to see here in the darkness but
13:08
this is a the screen used truck
13:10
from raiders of the lost ark where
13:12
harrison ford kind of went underneath
13:14
the bumper there
13:15
you can even see these little objects on
13:17
the side where he grabbed
13:18
or grabbed upon those yeah very very
13:21
dark out here though let's see if it
13:23
it's not running okay now it's like oh
13:25
it's just it's disguising itself
13:27
is it gonna go back into there it goes
13:30
oh yeah it was
13:31
that was weird okay it's back the indy
13:34
truck
13:35
from raiders of the lost ark i got to
13:37
thinking and you know what i think
13:38
best remove them should close out the
13:41
night a little big thunder mountain real
14:19
oh going into rainbow ridge
14:19
a little nighttime ride through
15:10
oh
16:13
my game plan as far as disney goes theme
16:13
parks disney goes
16:15
is for the rest of this month
16:18
and then probably into august so the
16:20
rest of july into august
16:22
not gonna not gonna go back into
16:24
disneyland or
16:25
dca i feel like i feel like i got enough
16:28
out of the five days technically i did
16:30
six days
16:31
because i had a one day ticket that i
16:32
purchased last year
16:34
for the reopenings of the park they did
16:36
not use so i did have the five day
16:39
ticket plus
16:40
i had the one day so i got six days in
16:43
only had one day at dca the rest at
16:45
walt's original magic kingdom of
16:47
disneyland and i think that should be
16:49
good
16:50
unless something extra special happens
16:52
and i get a one day ticket
16:54
and pop in probably will not back be
16:56
back in here
16:57
until the halloween season into
17:00
september
17:01
and then there's a lot of other a lot of
17:03
other things going around around the
17:04
theme parks
17:05
southern california hot season now we'll
17:08
step into knots and universal
17:10
a couple times here and there because i
17:11
do have annual passes but as far as
17:13
disneyland
17:14
i'm gonna take a little bit of a break
17:16
from disneyland for the next month
17:18
month and a half give or take no not
17:20
really any pinpointed day but
17:22
about that time frame also one last note
17:25
it is still a heck of a long walk
17:28
back pass from the esplanade to the
17:30
parking structure
17:32
almost seems longer than it did going in
17:34
and it seemed pretty long going in
17:36
maybe when i come back the trams will be
17:39
be going again that'd be nice
17:41
i'll see the next video the vlog is over
