6:49 exclusive well I don't know I don't know
6:50 if it is Starbucks but it looks like
6:51 something that Starbucks would put out
6:53 no it's a Disney pins release mystery
6:55 pin set inside oh interesting so you got
6:59 like the banner there Hollywood Studios
7:01 Banner you have the aliens and Toy Story
7:03 you got rock and roller coaster going
7:04 through the donut there you got the The
7:06 Mickey on top of Crossroads of the world

7:10 that's out there on Crossroads of the
7:12 world is a lightning rod and you got
7:14 Miss Piggy's going to be going away
7:15 which is over in front of Muppet Vision
7:17 yeah that's pretty neat and I guess
7:19 there's like a pin inside there too
7:21 that's cool this is the Starbucks drink
7:23 wear this is the Disney pen exclusive
7:25 that just came out a couple of spiffy
7:26 aloha shirts I really like that one
7:28 right there very very stylish $64 you
7:30 can get this one too has Donald on it
7:33 Donald and Mickey on that's the only two
7:34 I see on there I don't see Goofy on
7:36 there at all that's uh that's also
7:40 64.99 keep wanting to get this one too
7:43 now that I'm kind of trying to drop a
7:44 little bit of weight I might wait a
7:45 little while before buying any new any
7:47 new shirts so I can slim down we talked
7:49 about that yesterday see what happens
7:51 this one too it's very very very subtle
7:54 kind of look at the way this shirt is
7:55 it's a very subtle design it's like a it
7:58 doesn't really pop out at you but it's
8:00 on there with the castle there and the
8:01 fireworks and everything I like that oh
8:04 o o I got to buy this I got to buy this
8:06 I forgot that this just came out like a
8:08 few days ago or a week ago they got
8:10 dinosaur G gery ice cream they have it
8:13 in my size again I just said I wasn't
8:15 going to buy anything n 3XL and Smalls
8:18 are all that's left I mean even if they
8:20 had a large or extra large I would get
8:23 probably the the larger extra large I
8:25 can eventually squeeze into it but I
8:26 will never squeeze into a small matter
8:29 how much I lose and 3X is just way way
8:33 too big for me dang it dang it that's so
8:37 good should I ask if they have any more
8:38 in the back should I be that guy I
8:40 commend I really highly approve of the
8:42 Mickey Car Wash shirt over here and all
8:45 the new Hollywood studio shirts look at
8:47 this these are all like really really
8:50 really good this right here this is
8:52 brand i' never seen that before I've
8:54 never seen that one before and I've
8:56 never seen this one before
8:59 and I asked if they had any other sizes
9:01 and that's all they got left so if
9:03 you're a 3X or a small get you the
9:06 Gertie shirt also new and I feel like
9:08 this has my name all over it that's
9:10 right goofy you know what I mean because
9:12 it's a baseball shirt says never misses
9:14 a hit most of the time looks like
9:17 there's quite a few different sizes now
9:19 I could buy this let's say I bought this
9:20 in a large and again if I drop some
9:23 weight I could probably cram myself into
9:25 it they do have large over here an extra
9:29 large I could probably squeeze into now
9:31 but a large would definitely take some
9:33 uh definitely take some work to get the
9:35 weight off to fit into a large but I I
9:38 really like that shirt I'm going to
9:39 think about it while I'm in here and
9:41 maybe on the way out get a get get the
9:44 goofy shirt and it should be getting
9:45 pretty close to Golden hour some they
9:47 call it magic hour but golden hour
9:49 should be rearing its head pretty soon
9:50 which is around that time of dusk when
9:52 the sun is just kind of glimmering and
9:54 golden you kind of get that time frame
9:55 walking up on the Chinese doesn't really
9:57 seem to be a whole heck of a lot of
9:58 people here at the moment walked over
10:00 here to the former animation Courtyard
10:02 where they have just announced a few
10:03 days ago that they are in fact bringing
10:05 the little mermaid show back I kind of
10:07 had my hesitations and doubts a little
10:09 bit when you didn't really hear anything
10:10 over the last year but soon the the
10:13 signage will all be going back up and
10:14 they will have a show in here soon me
10:16 wonder the plethora of squirrels that
10:18 have been residing in this area are
10:19 going to have to going to have to
10:21 relocate you're going to have to go over
10:22 here into these Hedges squirrels you
10:23 can't be standing in the walkway I was
10:25 looking on the My Disney Experience app
10:27 Slinky Dog is only a 40-minute waight is
10:30 rarely under an hours the fact that it's
10:32 40 minutes makes me think it might even
10:34 be less does it have a single Rider line
10:36 on it there's only one way to find out
10:39 walk up there and see looking at it from
10:41 here it does look like a true 40 and not
10:43 seeing a single there's lightning Ling
10:45 and stand by 40 I'm seeing the crowd
10:47 over there it probably is a true 40
10:48 which Honestly though not too bad but
10:50 we'll see how it goes throughout the
10:51 course of the night I was walking in I
10:52 noticed they doing an all or an after
10:55 hours event tonight so the weight times
10:57 might get a little busier as people come
10:58 in for that so
11:00 oh there black Spire over there you can
11:02 see black Spire Outpost off in the
11:04 distance there this is that cuss before
11:06 the after hour the event starts though
11:08 all right I asked no single rider for
11:10 Slinky Dog I don't know why I thought
11:13 there would be but there's not check out
11:14 that nice little view there of Buzz with
11:16 the light with the little not lighting
11:18 but the light striking over his shoulder
11:20 there through the cloud something hello

11:45 I'm hiding over here in the corner
11:46 greetings civilians hello good to see
11:58 you California and Anaheim they just did
11:58 an event

12:01 season of the force
12:03 event looks pretty awesome kind of wish
12:06 they do something like that
12:08 here I will
12:10 say seems like this battoo doesn't get
12:13 as much of the fun stuff when it comes
12:16 to Star Wars you know the extra special
12:18 stuff that Anaheim does I man I go to
12:20 Anaheim all the time too so it's not
12:22 that big of a deal but I just be kind of
12:23 nice of
12:25 wdw kind of beefed up there Star Wars
12:28 land Batu e little more every once in a
12:30 while last time I was in Doc andar he
12:33 was resting he was behind a tarp but now
12:36 he's back to doing his inventory over
12:39 here doc onar count doing a little
12:41 counting you don't want to speak too too
12:44 loudly loudly because he'll lose his
12:45 train of thought and he'll
12:48 miscount but I
12:52 love love how he's just in here you know
12:55 a lot of people who own businesses that
12:57 have they named after them they're not
12:58 in there doing getting getting their
13:00 elbows dirty getting to the nitty-gritty
13:02 and taking care of business but he's
13:04 still counting make sure everything is
13:06 accurate make sure everything adds
13:14 up everything look
13:14 good look good
13:22 doc what wrong doc what's

13:32 doc I see your finger down there you're
13:35 doing you're doing the
13:36 counting yeah it is mellow out
13:56 meat ronto roers closes a little earlier
13:56 in the day you have to go to Docking Bay
13:58 to get a r to R but they still sell
14:24 them sometimes when you're deep into bat
14:24 especially if you're traveling Coast to
14:25 Coast quite a bit they all kind of start
14:27 look the same you don't realize what Co
14:29 post you're on now when you're in the
14:30 park you know what park you're in but
14:31 when you get back into the nitty-gritty
14:33 Star Wars land sometimes you're confused
14:35 but all you got to do is look up at the
14:37 sky I mean obviously a normal person
14:40 unlike me would know exactly what state
14:43 they're in whether it be California or
14:44 Florida but just saying sometimes you're
14:45 in you're back in here it all looks the
14:47 same but if you look up you do not see
14:49 clouds like this these formations
14:52 California that's a Florida
14:54 Cloud that's a Batu East
14:57 cloud don't get those in California
14:59 if you do very
15:01 rare I don't know where I'm going with
15:03 this but yeah look to look to the
15:14 sky there's that cloud
15:18 resistes down you guys have questions
15:20 about rning L please seek out one of the
15:22 cast members or myself for addition
15:23 information the weight time over here
15:25 look pretty short and I realize that
15:28 it's down technical
15:37 difficulties now heading out out of bat
15:37 and onto the former streets of America
15:40 just a glimmer of streets of America now
15:42 it's called Grand AB that's the right
15:44 here that's all this left of streets of
15:45 America rip rip still is pretty wild to
15:48 think that this is going to be
15:50 completely removed the building will
15:51 probably well I don't even know be
15:53 honest I don't know if the building
15:53 might be reused but mupp Vision 3D is on
15:55 his last days last last couple months
15:58 hoping some around roundabout way they
15:59 can do something with the piggy
16:02 sculpture here in the fountain I really
16:04 hope that piggy is salvaged and utilized
16:07 in some facet hope they put this in the
16:09 archives or something or maybe move it
16:11 elsewhere then again the splash fountain
16:13 that was using in the Tom Hanks film
16:14 Splash that was that's gone forever I
16:16 got to pick up my 3D glasses
16:20 3D they're
16:23 tourists what do they know they're
16:25 tourists it's going to be interesting
16:27 not seeing any of the stuff in here
16:29 likeit like Kermit rocking out look at
16:32 this almost like a Springstein pose I
16:34 think it's supposed to be a I think it's
16:36 supposed to be Springstein it's
16:54 Kermit and their Buddies thank you and
16:54 enjoy the show
17:01 what's going to happen to all these
17:01 props like the pigs in
17:07 space all these soldiers that are even
17:07 in the
17:08 show they in fireworks
17:12 scene that's as far as I know that's a
17:15 screen used prop from the mo I mean I
17:17 don't maybe they did a recreation but I
17:20 mean I would assume that's what that is
17:23 as well as these right
17:46 those I'm really sad Muppet Visions
17:46 going
17:50 away I'm also I'm really excited about
17:50 the Muppets or the Monsters Inc section
17:54 that's going to be rearing its head but
17:57 yeah I this is the last thing Jim Henson
18:00 ever worked on before he passed away
18:02 crowly present M Vision 3D J I got the
18:08 vacuum out I got the vacuum
18:15 out speed is about to come out there he
18:16 is there he is there's
18:17 speeded from a
18:20 distance I'm wait don't
18:25 shoot look out
18:57 stupid oh coming out the side there too
18:57 I never noticed that before we surrender
18:59 we surrender only going to be very
19:02 bizarre when Muppet Vision 3D does not
19:04 exist at Hollywood Studios anymore this
19:06 like a staple for sure definitely a
19:08 staple of this back little area but
19:11 can't stop progress I learned anything
19:12 about the Disney Corporation and Disney
19:14 Parks everything has an end well not
19:17 everything but a good percentage of
19:18 things will eventually come doing in and
19:20 new things moving forward so that's just
19:23 kind of just kind of how it is pizza
19:25 Rizzo also it's also going to be closing
19:28 as well well and changing this is a
19:30 pretty good time of the eve to be
19:32 walking around you got the clouds up
19:34 here you got the haze of the sunset very
19:37 very nice very nice enjoyable the sun's
19:39 not pounding down upon my head on my
19:43 neck which is really good feels good out
19:46 feels good out right now I like clouds
19:48 look actually really really interesting
19:51 right almost looks like it's about to
19:53 storm but it's not going to storm a lot
19:56 of cumula nimbus going on up there with
19:58 the light kind of kind of shading
20:01 through over here under the under the
20:04 glimmer of the Chinese Theater Florida
20:06 version that stinks runaways down too
20:08 runaway is also down I don't know if
20:10 it's true or not but it says a half hour
20:12 half hour waight tops for Hollywood
20:14 Tower I got to head over there and see a
20:15 half hour for Hollywood Tower take I'll
20:17 take it I'll Cru I'll take a take a turn
20:19 here off of Hollywood Boulevard onto
20:21 Sunset and head directly that direction
20:24 you got the glimmer of Nightfall about
20:26 to be happening you got the balloon
20:29 there all illuminated and going to walk
20:32 right down Sunset Boulevard a recreation
20:35 of Sunset Boulevard I just don't want to
20:36 I don't keep reiterating the fact that
20:38 it is really nice out right now it's
20:39 been very toasty the last few days
20:41 during the day now that the sun is down
20:43 it is really Pleasant and enjoyable I
20:46 just want to just keep driving that
20:48 point home just want to keep driving
20:50 that point home it's also nice I love
20:51 walking around here at night with all
20:52 the neon illuminated it's just such a
20:54 cool such a cool place to walk around
20:56 I'm kind of curious what the actual way
20:58 time will be here in the corner of
21:00 sunset in go which is where go Gulch is
21:03 I know cuz I used to live in Hollywood
21:05 go Gulch is
21:07 where is that same Corner go Gul right
21:10 there where rock and roll Denny's is
21:12 which is also right next to the entrance
21:14 to rock and roller coaster how
21:16 interesting is that if you go to the
21:18 real Sunset and go you got the you got
21:21 the go Studios G gch and you also have
21:25 rock and roll Denny say 25 minutes which
21:28 really is yes it it really does not get
21:31 much better than a 25-minute standby
21:33 weight it might even be shorter than
21:35 that 25 minutes to drop in to the
21:38 Hollywood Tower see how the lights are
21:40 kind of like drifting see this say
21:41 Hollywood Tower Hotel you got the HT
21:45 right there and then it's going to kind
21:46 of like it's going to kind of like morph
21:48 itself through so you can see the other
21:50 name at some point it's going to
21:52 probably change into the other name it's
21:53 trying but it's just taking a while it
21:55 knows that I am filming it and it's
21:57 being very very difficult to be seen
21:59 we got the there we go Twilight Zone
22:01 Tower there it is you can see it right
22:03 there Twilight Zone okay took a minute
22:05 took a minute I heading in yeah it seems
