0:44 hollywood studios is still currently
0:46 closed but there's the back side of
0:48 galaxy's edge
0:49 if i would have veered off down the ramp
0:51 entrance to magic kingdom there
0:54 a few years ago they rerouted the road
0:56 to get over to
0:57 some of the other areas without having
0:59 to go through the parking
1:02 turnstiles still have the buses parked
1:05 over there in the parking lot
1:13 but there are some that are operating
1:13 beautiful waterfall there just got to go
1:16 through the checkpoint

1:23 the monorail plenty of
1:26 parking not too much to it
1:30 just show your reservation and they ask
1:32 for your id
1:34 and you're in for a time being they had
1:38 souvenirs they had
1:40 salt and pepper shakers that were
1:41 designed like some of the disney trash
1:44 cans
1:44 it is so nice through here it's like a
1:47 tropical wonderland
1:49 it is so good to see this transportation
1:52 device
1:54 up and running again general overview
2:08 these bungalows were added in recent
2:08 years those were not there
2:10 back when i was younger the thing that's
2:12 nice about this is you don't
2:14 even technically have to be staying
2:17 on property during normal times you can
2:19 rent boats from here i have
2:21 done so and got taken a pontoon out but
2:23 for now
2:24 the boat rentals are kind of on hold
2:26 right here on the side of this hill is a
2:28 nice little
2:29 tiki sending out a wave hello and behind
2:32 him there is the
2:33 patio to trader sam's which i also do
2:35 not believe is
2:36 currently open at the moment the
2:38 restaurant i will be going to in just a
2:40 little bit is
2:40 inside this building on the bottom it's
2:43 on the top floor
2:44 yeah top floor referred to as the great
2:46 ceremonial house
2:48 you are here well the you are here has
2:50 been kind of peeled away by
2:52 years of people touching it and just to
2:54 clarify how humid it is here
2:56 look at the the little haze on the
2:58 window there inside this display is mini
3:00 and there's also a photo of walt and
3:02 lillian up there
3:03 this is good news the pineapple lanai is
3:05 open at 10 a.m
3:06 i'm gonna get a dole whip after i eat my
3:08 meal that'll be that'll be my dessert to
3:10 more or less
3:11 a couple of press penny stations as well
3:13 up here on the second floor this would
3:14 be a really good hangout spot
3:16 right nice backdrop cozy furniture that
3:19 works
3:19 this is where i'm going to be eating i
3:21 believe i'm going to get myself a sushi
3:22 roll

3:25 another gift shop down here i really
3:26 like it's called the
3:27 tiki boutique and it's right over there
3:29 on that other side it is really neat to
3:31 just be back in here again
3:33 it is a just a really cool vibe if
3:35 you're gonna have a boutique the the
3:37 tiki type might be the best kind
3:39 all this stuff is just so tempting
3:40 miniature versions of that figure that's
3:42 there in the lobby
3:43 the thing i enjoy most about you know
3:46 inside here is the theming
3:48 everywhere you look there's there's
3:50 something
3:51 something just to stare out and say oh
3:53 that's pretty cool even like very
3:54 large of the large proportions still got
3:57 a few minutes to my reservation so
3:59 walking around the

4:38 a fish this is where the guest drop off
4:40 area is
4:41 as you can see not too incredibly busy
4:44 just there's a few guests but
4:45 not too many pulling up and and going in
4:48 here's a view you don't normally see
4:52 showing the under workings of it
4:55 going over
5:01 water served in the fancy glass and i
5:01 got some chopsticks which i which i
5:02 prefer over silverware in these cajuns
5:04 got my soy sauce there ready and some
5:06 wasabi to dip in it
5:08 cheers
5:11 mmm this looks really freaking good no
5:13 joke this looks this looks amazing
5:15 i think that's a mushroom right there
5:17 piece of mushroom that's not chicken
5:18 that's a mushroom
5:25 at the pineapple lanai
5:25 a dole whip i wasn't going to get this
5:27 at first but then i thought to say you
5:28 know
5:29 i'm here i'm going to say a win in rome
5:31 moment but
5:33 i kind of need a double whip now i'm not
5:34 going to go with the the float i'm going
5:36 to go with the
5:37 traditional cup and michael's here look
5:40 at this he has so graciously offered
5:43 to buy me a doorway any time do you have
5:46 the cheeky mug that it comes in
5:47 no he doesn't have it okay they don't
5:49 have that here
5:51 it says served in a souvenir tiki sipper
5:54 for 10.99
6:00 when i got 4.99 although well
6:00 it's your 4.99 no no no when you're in
6:03 california all about
6:04 there you go they do have the bowls they
6:06 have those a tropical hideaway
6:08 at disneyland and anaheim yeah i have
6:10 one of those
6:11 in my house getting a little behind the
6:13 scenes here that's how it works right
6:14 you got the whole setup it's a big camp
6:16 with the tripod that's what makes it
6:17 gonna get this lovely
6:18 all right let's come on
6:27 these seats are so low i'm like i'm like
6:27 a foot below the table yeah
6:30 am i starting too soon no it's hard to
6:32 do it
6:34 hey how are you
6:39 i thought there was a breeze coming in
6:39 but it's really just the air conditioner
6:40 coming through that sliding glass door
6:42 every so often you get it every so off
6:48 when you're walking down main street
6:48 yeah not in california but here
6:51 and you can feel the gusts of wind from
6:52 the ac coming out of there
6:54 compared to disneyland do you taste a
6:56 big difference i taste no different okay
6:58 all right
6:59 i think it's the same formula i have a
7:01 feeling it is to me it's the ambiance
7:03 that changes the flavor
7:04 oh you know what yeah i gotta run in
7:07 real quick
7:08 even though i've eaten half of it you
7:10 really can't tell from this angle can
7:11 you now from your angle you can totally
7:13 tell right but they would from this
7:15 angle no one would know
7:17 we're talking about the low crowds how
7:18 it's just it's super super low crowds
7:20 and i think that's a great thing they
7:22 weren't
7:22 they were uh they were pretty stringent
7:24 yesterday
7:25 on those who uh had the nose exposed
7:28 right right
7:29 and the gators are no longer allowed the
7:31 neck gators negators
7:32 usually i get the float but i figured
7:35 since i had a pretty healthy meal
7:38 well i guess pineapple juice probably
7:39 isn't too bad for you i don't think so
7:41 and this this might be just a a
7:44 fabrication i think this is only like 80
7:46 calories
7:47 really oh my gosh i have to look that up
7:50 look it up i need a
7:51 fact checking all right okay here we go
7:53 if it's like 800 calories i'm gonna be
7:55 really disappointed because i'm trying
7:56 to
7:57 trying to drop some pounds you and me
7:59 both
8:00 you're right half a cup of dough whip
8:02 soft serve is 80 calories how many cups
8:04 is this
8:05 is that one cup that might be one cup is
8:07 the cup up to the threshold of the
8:08 plastic
8:09 i think i mean like a serving cup so
8:11 maybe maybe there's just one whole cup
8:12 right there
8:13 uh you know what maybe it's a cup and a
8:15 half i'll be two maybe two guys okay
8:16 maybe let's kill us 160 calories not bad
8:19 not bad so yeah gotta go have a cup 80
8:22 calories the dole whip diet man yeah
8:25 there you go don't lift diet let's do
8:27 that that's i'm all about the dough whip
8:28 diet i will every day
8:30 i would happily be be part of that we'll
8:32 have a dole whip every day
8:33 if we can get reservations okay okay
8:36 that's the only stipulation
8:37 oh there's some oversized
8:41 there's some oversized spoons what did
8:43 you say it's a nice looking wall nice
8:44 looking wall that's a good one right
8:46 yeah
8:46 i like i was i was looking more the
8:48 oversized spoons
8:50 which are also in carved with little
8:52 like
8:53 little tiki figures yeah well there's a
8:55 concept discrepancy an argument between
8:58 people that fast passes
8:59 slow down the lines makes it a lot more
9:03 noticeable
9:04 that i need a haircut i haven't had a
9:07 haircut in a while
9:08 you should give it a magic kingdom i
9:09 should is it open
9:11 on mates by the fire station let me look
9:14 it up let me look it up if it's i will
9:16 i'm not going to get a haircut
9:18 until the barber shop on main street
9:21 open
9:22 that's not true i'm gonna get a haircut
9:24 before then but it's just that's a fun
9:25 thing to throw out there what happens if
9:26 you live in florida
9:27 it doesn't happen as much i've i've
9:29 gotten like no brain freezes no grinders
9:30 like none
9:31 it's amazing maybe you're immune to

10:36 surfboards there above the
10:38 the bed frame oh yeah there's another

10:49 mountain
10:49 space mountain and the monorail going
10:52 off in the distance

11:10 oh nice i just realized that if you were
11:10 hanging out here in this hot tub and the
11:12 fireworks were
11:14 were up or quite operational you would
11:16 be seeing them
11:17 from a very good angle from here just
11:19 you can see the fireworks right there
11:21 on the horizon in the park by the
11:23 comfort of your own hot tub
