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

1:26
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
3:23
heading back down to the bottom floor to
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
4:00

4:03
occasionally they will have live

5:01

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

9:24

9:25
thing to throw out there what happens if

9:29

10:58
a little comfort section here with this
11:01
patio furniture

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
11:24
the cool thing about polynesian is we
11:26
have these rooms and we also have the
