0:48
the spot
0:49
i am in 5e as of right now the only
0:54
parking area that is accessible and open
0:57
is simba the structure and

1:04
still closed so here and it's all
1:08
complimentary there is no
1:09
charge normally there is a fee but for
1:12
now
1:13
until the theme parks reopen no charge
1:17
i am ready for this after months of
1:20
riding my bike
1:22
around the perimeter i'm back on
1:25
property
1:26
anaheim property heck yeah
1:30
this shows the general layout of the
1:32
land
1:33
and right there is where i'm heading
1:45
and i have to go through a check that is
1:45
located up ahead here
1:51
this also kind of reiterates the
1:51
following are not permitted
1:53
neck gators open chin triangle bandanas
1:58
and costume type of facial coverings
2:09
i have done this a number of times over
2:11
the past few weeks
2:12
wdw gotten really used to this
2:24
96.9 plenty of sanitizing stations and
2:24
solar powered
2:25
very fancy back to the area of there
2:28
goes no monorail and still no
2:32
announcement when
2:33
opening day will be it was going to be
2:34
july 17th for the 65th anniversary but
2:36
it got pushed back
2:37
oh the pen trading area underneath the
2:40
rails is
2:40
open for business good to see the beast
2:43
is waiting patiently for his favorite
2:45
transportation device
2:47
might as well take a look around and see
2:49
if there's any pins here that i
2:50
could maybe have my eye on highly
2:52
doubtful the 2020 ones are
2:54
selling as quick as would have one would
2:56
have assumed
2:57
also have some of the coverings in here
3:00
as well
3:00
some of the different characters there's
3:03
mickey
3:04
frozen and what's this one up here
3:07
oh that's the tiki room i think that
3:09
might be the cheeky room
3:11
signifying the the old version of the
3:14
the front entrance sign right down there
3:17
on this four
3:17
pack you could get it there's a good one
3:19
over there of roger and jessica and the
3:21
taxi as well i like that one
3:23
one thing that's neat about this area it
3:25
goes right
3:26
over this thoroughfare you would never
3:28
know it by walking across here but there
3:30
is a road that goes directly under it
3:32
that dragon up there gets a real good
3:33
bird's eye of the passer buying traffic
3:35
going under
3:36
all the appropriate markings here along
3:38
the ground and along the seating area up
3:41
there's a bird white going by hello
3:42
birdie
3:43
plenty of elbow room to say there'll be
3:45
plenty of elbow room out here according
3:46
to that sign over there it says jazz
3:48
kitchen will be reopening soon not yet
3:50
but
3:51
soon today i'm just doing a general
3:53
walkthrough but i will be returning to
3:55
toward chia joe's
3:56
and i am looking forward to those days
3:59
in fact quite a few of these places i
4:00
haven't even tried yet you know i've
4:02
been kind of watching what i eat but
4:04
over time i might end up coming back and
4:05
trying them salt and shaw over there
4:07
appears to be open and this wetzel's
4:09
pretzels is as well
4:11
marceline's confectionary also i like
4:13
that little nod to walt's hometown
4:15
in the name i'm seeing where the general
4:17
amount of people are way past sunglass
4:19
hut and starbucks down at world of
4:21
disney there's a little bit of a line
4:22
oh it must be a virtual cue where you
4:24
take your they take your number down
4:26
they text you and then you come back
4:27
there's also a line formulating over
4:30
there for something as well not really
4:31
sure
4:31
maybe that is for also for world of
4:33
disney yeah seems like that's what
4:35
everybody is here for
4:37
but this thing is just spewing to its
4:40
heart's content just realize this is the
4:42
check in the mobile check in for world
4:44
to disney so you give your number here
4:45
and then they text you and you come back
4:47
they have reshifted us under these
4:49
umbrellas from la baya la brea bakery
4:51
that are they're being utilized
4:53
get out of the sun while i wait here
4:54
noticing this dvc station which opened
4:57
i don't know maybe six seven months ago
4:58
they remodeled this into a to a disney
5:00
vacation club stand is not being
5:01
utilized
5:02
all set up got my first text to confirm
5:04
at 11 50. now just wait for the second
5:06
text and then i can go get in the other
5:07
line to go in
5:08
and you know i cannot come over to this
5:10
section without checking out the
5:12
esplanade in the front
5:13
of disneyland proper i finally get to
5:16
feast my eyes on walt's original
5:18
magicking we can't go in but i can at
5:20
least see it through the gate
5:22
oh man it is hard to believe i'm
5:24
standing here in front of this
5:26
again you can bet your bottom dollar the
5:28
day this reopens i will be
5:30
here with bells on saying hello to the
5:33
monorail as it
5:34
cruises by looking in through the gates
5:37
and on
5:38
around and into disneyland i love walt
5:41
disney world but there's something
5:42
extra special about this place i love
5:45
living so
5:46
close to this property for many reasons
5:48
it all started here i'll never forget
5:51
that well i mean
5:52
obviously i'll never forget that but i
5:53
just wanted to reiterate for everyone
5:55
listening out there it all began right
5:57
here even from this distance you can see
5:59
the plexiglas that's put up and it looks
6:01
like they're doing a little work over
6:02
there on the
6:03
emporium from you know from a distance i
6:05
can tell guardians peaking at is peaking
6:08
its head up over there
6:09
and all this will be a distant memory it
6:11
might take a while but at some point
6:13
this will all be a distant memory and
6:14
something we will talk about for
6:16
years to come now la brea bakery is not
6:19
open at the moment so getting
6:21
coffee starbucks it is but when labrea
6:24
opens i will be sitting
6:26
right there one of my favorite little
6:28
hangout spots
6:29
the way the direction works is the
6:31
entrance is from that way and then you
6:32
have to loop back around if you want to
6:34
go to the other end
6:35
so i'm going to have to like not go that
6:37
way but it's a one-way
6:38
this direction kind of strange to stand
6:40
here not only here and see the trams but
6:42
also not hear the boulder from indiana
6:44
jones which is located in that building
6:46
you can always hear it rumbling
6:48
every like 10-15 seconds if you're
6:50
standing in this section
6:51
no boulder rumblings as of right now the
6:54
line seems to be
6:55
dissipating a little so i should be
6:57
getting a notification
6:58
soon to to get over there and go in they
7:01
have turned what was
7:02
waiting area for the trams into little
7:04
seating sections
7:06
that's that's using the space wisely
7:07
they did not give me a time frame on
7:09
when they would let me know so i'm gonna
7:10
go here in this starbucks and get myself
7:12
a coffee
7:13
these are the kind of markings they have
7:14
along the the bench seat area here some
7:17
are exes and some say please sit here
7:19
it's probably going to be a little
7:20
toasty but let's give it a try
7:23
oh yeah yeah that's that's a little
7:25
that's warm and 27 minutes i got my
7:27
second tech so i got to finish this
7:29
beverage and get in line
7:30
that's kind of how it goes though you
7:31
get a piping hot beverage and then they
7:33
alert you that you can go i can't i
7:34
can't chug this i'm not chugging this
7:36
but in all reality i don't think there's
7:38
a time frame they're just letting you
7:39
know that you can whenever
7:40
at your leisure you can walk back over i
7:42
did not finish the drink it was just too
7:44
hot to wait i decided to go ahead and
7:45
get in here to check out the anniversary
7:47
merch that is awaiting
7:48
one thing is for sure during these times
7:50
you got to plan out your beverage hot
7:52
beverage situations a little better
7:54
oh my goodness check these out
7:58

8:00
world of pixar oh i like this a lot too

9:22
really good even though you can't get

9:31
in a way this is my belated happy
9:34
anniversary
9:35
disneyland and i must say it feels
9:38
pretty dang good
9:39
they also have hand washing stations
9:41
placed around with soap water
9:43
and towels just being able to walk
9:45
through here for now is enough
9:47
definitely enough
9:48
better than it was a month ago that's
9:50
for sure once again to exit have to go
9:53
this way where the trams usually are
9:55
there are also quite a few food carts
9:57
open like
9:57
diggity dogs over there add california
10:00
churro to that list that's open as well
10:03
right down there this has nothing to do
10:04
with the current situation but
10:06
i really did enjoy way back in the day
10:08
being able to walk along that pathway
10:10
now it's not accessible but you can walk
10:12
down this pathway back to the parking
10:14
structure
10:14
all in all i'm really enjoying the vibe
10:16
out here everyone's in a good mood
10:18
everyone's keeping their distance and
10:19
just
10:20
having a good time oh dang and jamba has
10:22
reopened i haven't seen that in a while
10:24
exiting not through the gift shop but by
10:27
the sorcerer's
10:28
cap a nice peaceful
10:32
walkway out i can hear some birds
10:36
chirping
10:37
faintly in the distance
10:43
plenty to let us know which direction to
10:43
go can't go that way
10:46
for the time being or that way
10:49
but can continue following this sidewalk
10:53
and then it empties out here where it's
10:56
multi-directional exit here on the right
10:59
and then everyone coming in
11:01
