Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here. As
0:03
the recording of this, it is Thursday,
0:05
November 13th, 2025. About to head over
0:08
to Disney Springs, meet up with a couple
0:11
friends, and just see where the day
0:13
leads.
0:14
I'm inviting you
0:16
to join me. Weather's still nice, but
0:20
not as cool and crisp as it was the last
0:22
few days. Don't even need a light hoodie
0:24
today. Don't even need it. But it still
0:28
feels good. Still feels nice. Join me.
0:31
Let's have a Disney Springs day and then
0:33
just see
0:35
where the rest of the day leads. No real
0:37
game plan. Just going to meet up with
0:39
some buddies. See what happens. Join me,
0:43
shall you? Currently at 9:22 before
0:46
heading over to Springs. Very enjoyable
0:49
at 61. I don't know how the 75 at 2 p.m.
0:53
is going to feel, but right now 61 I am
0:56
all about.
1:00
75 is not bad either, but when there's
1:02
no cloud cloud cover at 75 in Florida,
1:05
it feels a little warmer than 71. So,
1:07
I'm embracing the 61 right now. Not a
1:11
cloud in the sky. At least not for now,
1:13
Big the Foot. Maybe later, but right
1:14
now, no clouds.
1:17
Heading under the archway.
1:20
The familiar archway. At least from my
1:23
direction. Almost every time I come out
1:27
here to Springs, Disney Springs, I
1:28
always park over at the L5 section, the
1:31
orange garage, top floor, last row over
1:35
in the corner. And I have to say, right
1:38
now at 9:40 a.m., I am the first person
1:43
in this section. There's another car
1:44
over there, but in the row I usually
1:46
park at, I'm the first one here.
2:02
I don't even know what time the balloon
2:02
starts running
2:04
right now. It is not elevated up in the
2:07
air. Could be because there's a nice
2:09
little wind, nice little breeze
2:11
happening. It could be that or it
2:13
possibly is too early. I might open at
2:16
10:00, which is 15 minutes from now.
2:19
I might mobile order a Starbucks, head
2:20
down there and get a piping hot
2:22
caffeinated beverage till the others
2:23
arrive.
2:25
It's a Disney Springs day and who knows,
2:28
we might go elsewhere.
2:31
Just roll it along. Just rolling along
2:34
with the crew,
2:36
whatever they decide.
2:39
I just mobile ordered. My coffee will be
2:41
ready in 6 to 11 minutes, which is
2:44
perfect. By the time I walk down there,
2:46
it should be sitting on the counter in
2:47
the mobile pickup area. I was kind of
2:49
wondering if the Starbucks here was
2:51
going to be open because I've heard in
2:52
Anaheim that Starbucks Downtown Disney
2:56
there is currently not open. Ah, last
2:59
time I was out here, they did not have
3:01
the Christmas trees up. They do a like a
3:03
little Christmas tree scavenger hunt, if
3:06
you will, where each tree is decorated a
3:07
little bit differently. And one of the
3:09
trees has been placed over there. And
3:11
right here in front of the AMC is
3:13
another one right there. So yeah, fun
3:15
fact, if you're following along with the
3:17
Christmas tree arrival, they are here.
3:21
The Christmas trees are here at Disney
3:25
Springs. Wow, that was the most perfect
3:26
timing ever. As soon as I walked in,
3:28
they were calling my name and they said,
3:30
"Oh, we we're putting it right here at
3:31
the regular counter." So, as soon as I
3:34
walked in, also I saw a sign over there
3:36
or saw the the rolling the rolling sign,
3:39
I should say, that says that the balloon
3:43
because of weather might not be running,
3:45
but I think it just might be because of
3:46
the I think it might just be. It's very
3:49
loud in here. I want to go outside.
3:51
The balloon may or may not be running
3:53
today because of the inclement weather.
4:02
Cheers. You know what? They have added
4:02
tables out here. These tables were just
4:04
recently added over in this section.
4:06
This is kind of nice. You got a little
4:07
seating area out here next to next to
4:09
where the balloon is now. That's nice.
4:11
All right. I met up with my first friend
4:13
of the day. Did you have your hope set
4:16
on riding this, Jacob the Carpet Bagger?
4:17
>> Yes. I'm uh I'm I'm crushed emotionally
4:20
because
4:20
>> Ever been on it?
4:21
>> No, never. I was like, this is I never
4:23
come over here to Disney Springs.
4:25
>> I never think to come over here
4:27
>> and I'm like I'm going to go to Disney
4:28
Springs and I'm going to go do all the
4:29
cool stuff today.
4:30
>> That's cool. And
4:31
>> what else would you want to do besides
4:33
this?
4:33
>> Uh, there's a little car that drives in
4:34
the water.
4:35
>> The Ampha car.
4:36
>> Ever done that?
4:37
>> Never.
4:38
>> Maybe we do that.
4:39
>> Unless it's too windy.
4:41
>> True. Good point. All right. Micah has
4:44
arrived from the world of Micah.
4:46
>> Hello. What do you
4:47
>> I love this building.
4:48
>> So, you know what this is, right?
4:49
>> Yeah. Yeah. Little little Max Factor
4:52
>> Max Factor building on corner of
4:53
Hollywood and Highland.
4:55
>> Yeah.
4:55
>> I know if anyone would know that, you
4:56
would.
4:57
>> Yeah. I was just there not too long ago
4:58
for the first time. time I actually went
4:59
in and did the tour cuz it was open.
5:02
>> Lady Inside's so cool. She's been there
5:04
forever.
5:04
>> A lot of cool screen used props and some
5:07
that are not screen use. But either way,
5:09

5:13
>> You You know what building that is right
5:15
there?
5:15
>> Oh yeah, it's the Hollywood Museum.

And then the restaurant the restaurant
5:19
right next to us is Mels.
5:20
>> Yep.
5:21
>> So we think we're going to do the Ampar.
5:23
We're going to try that
5:24
>> unless it's too windy.
5:26
>> You ever done You ever done that? You
5:28
ever done the Ampar? Oh, and what a
5:29
great day to do it.
5:30
>> Have you ever done the balloon?
5:31
>> Yes, with you.
5:33
>> Okay. We did it together.
5:34
>> Yep. I think that was the day we we did
5:35
the Disney Quest for the last time.
5:37
>> Okay.
5:38
>> That was a long time ago.
5:40
>> Disney Quest days was a long time ago.
5:41
>> I still have the photo of us in the
5:42
photo booth and it had the wrong date on
5:44
it. It was like in the future.
5:46
>> I'll have to see what date it was.
5:47
>> All right. It looks as if the Ampla cars
5:49
are There's the cast members out so I
5:51
think they're running. Here's a detailed
5:53
description of what an AMA car is. is an
5:55
amphibious automobile suit for both land
5:57
and water right there. No weight
6:00
whatsoever
6:02
with the annual pass discount 113. I
6:05
think it's like 135 or 140 without the
6:08
AP discount. So between each of us $40
6:12
each split it in a third. You can get
6:14
three adults in there and the driver.
6:15
That's it. So be one of us in the front
6:17
and two of us in the back seat plus the
6:19
pilot plus the driver itself.
6:21
>> 20 minutes or so.
6:22
>> Okay. And I'll just give you some safety
6:24
instructions. Okay. The door handles
6:27
inside the car.
6:28
>> Don't Don't open them in the water.
6:29
Don't
6:29
>> touch them. Okay.
6:31
>> Because if you do, I'm going to have to
6:33
open up the other door to let the water
6:34
run out. Okay.
6:36
>> We're working on that now.
6:37
>> Yes, we are. Try and keep your hands out
6:39
the water if you can cuz there's plenty
6:41
of snapping turtles in there.
6:42
>> Snapping turtles.
6:44
>> And please, no partying in the back like
6:46
standing up unless I'm invited. All
6:48
right. We have life jackets if you need
6:51
them. And they're just over here, just
6:54
underneath the umbrellas.
6:56
And if you need the umbrellas, please do
6:58
not put them up until we get hit the
7:00
water. Otherwise, one of you, whoever's
7:02
holding it, could be Mary Poppins. We're
7:05
going one way and you'll be going the
7:07
other.
7:07
>> All right. Any questions?
7:10
>> No.
7:10
>> Oh, good. So, what we're going to do is
7:12

7:14
Tom by the side of the car, then some of
7:17
you inside the car, then we'll be on our
7:19
way. All right. So, I'd imagine you,
7:22
sir, being the tallest will be sitting
7:23
in the front.
7:24
>> Do you want the front, Jac?
7:25
>> Unless you want the front.
7:26
>> Let's give Jacob the front. He's never
7:27
done it before.
7:28
>> Okay. So,
7:29
>> Jacob's never been on it before, so
7:31
>> Okay. Fantastic.
7:32
>> Good to just I'll squeeze in the back.
7:33
>> So, come on through. Tom, have you got
7:37
>> So, if you come and stand just here or
7:39
three of you,
7:40
>> I should have taken the captain's advice
7:41
and sat up front. Jacob and back in.
7:45
>> No, I'm good. I'm good. So there's your
7:47
life jacket. All part of the experience

8:13
will start clearing the steering wheel
8:14
as I go. What? The light
8:16
>> All right.
8:17
>> You know what? I'm looking for dead men.
8:20
>> Jeez.
8:20
>> Thank you.
8:22
>> A three-hour tour.
8:23
>> All three.
8:26
>> He said it was 20 minutes.
8:27
>> You don't remember Gil?
8:28
>> Oh, I remember very well.
8:31
>> Splash.
8:32
Splash.
8:35

8:38

8:39

8:40
>> Oh, Maryanne.
8:41
>> Oh, Maryanne guy. All right. All right.
8:48
Last down here,
8:48
>> that red one there, that's the AAA.
8:51
>> The triple A.
8:52
>> Yes.
8:52
>> That's awesome.
8:54
>> There we go.
8:55
>> Try and go a bit slow, otherwise you're
8:57
going to get wet.
8:58
>> Woohoo.
9:04
>> Just have a look at the top there.
9:04
>> Oh my god.
9:09
>> Oh, it really did get wet. I didn't
9:10
know.
9:11
>> This is freaky. Look at this. Wow.
9:19
That's water right there.
9:19
>> Yeah. I got all soggy.
9:21
>> Oh, that's nothing.
9:23
>> That's nothing.
9:24
>> We're going to get wet.
9:25
>> We could do
9:43
We're both local. Mike and I are both
9:43
local.
9:48
>> First of all, I work for the boat house
9:48
and not Disney. And the owner of the
9:51
boat house actually lives in Chicago.
9:54
>> He he owns Gibson Steakhouse up there.
9:57
And uh he used to own the Rainforest and
10:00
the T-Rex.
10:02
And about 2014, Disney invited him down
10:06
here to uh build a restaurant and that's
10:10
when he was going through the process of
10:12
going from Downtown Disney to uh Disney
10:15
Springs. So, he built the boat house and
10:18
he has the only private collection of
10:21
these cars.
10:23
>> Yes. With these.
10:25
>> He has about 15 of these.
10:28
And back in the city, the boat house is
10:30
the number one restaurant on Disney
10:32
property. And it's the number two
10:35
restaurant in the whole of the US uh for
10:38
this.
10:40
So if you have anything to eat in the
10:42
boat house, you know, if you're not
10:44
happy with something, you let them know
10:46
and they'll fix it for you straight
10:47
away.
10:48
>> Yeah, it's great.
10:50
>> So the paddlefish here, do you know what
10:53
the original name used to be called?
10:56
It was um the boat where Minnie Mouse
11:00
used to do meat and drinks way back
11:02
then.
11:02
>> Yes. Um so the Empress Lily.
11:05
>> That's it.
11:06
>> It took me a second.
11:07
>> I coming through with the history
11:09
button.
11:10
>> I said I had breakfast with me.
11:11
>> Is this the area you got to look out for
11:12
scuba divers right in this section?
11:15
>> It is right here. Right.
11:16
>> Show you the door.
11:23
>> Yeah. So, Walt Disney gifted that boat
11:24
to his wife and her name was Lillian.
11:26
And as you rightly said, it was called
11:28
the Empress Lily.
11:29
>> Wow. That was
11:33
>> Look at Empress.
11:35
How did they know that?
11:38
>> So, back in Yeah.
11:40
>> back in 1985, some of this area was
11:43
called Pleasure Island,
11:44
>> right? Um, it obviously had a lot of
11:47
nightclubs, a lot of bars. It had a
11:50
Disney store and a McDonald's for detox.
11:55
>> For detox.
11:56
>> Yes, it was.
11:57
>> Oh, hell. We got a fish.
11:59
>> Got a fish.
12:00
>> Got some fisherman out here.
12:07
>> So, the rainforest, uh, the volcano
12:07
explodes roughly every 20 minutes. And
12:10
if we were here, you'd feel the heat
12:11
from all the flames.
12:12
>> Oh, wow. We drive around here till it
12:14
explodes.
12:16
>> Sometimes it doesn't start till the
12:18
afternoon. You certainly get your
12:19
money's worth.
12:27
>> So, it was the Empress Lily.
12:27
>> Then I think it went to Fton's crab
12:29
house.
12:29
>> Yeah. Folton's crab house.
12:30
>> Then the paddlefish.
12:32
>> I think there were
12:33
>> Yeah, that was a place you could meet
12:35
Disney characters off technically off a
12:37
theme park property.
12:40
>> Because it didn't cost admission to get
12:41
in here. Oh, you could come here and eat
12:44
there.
12:45
>> Like a character character dining.
12:47
>> Character dining. Yeah.
12:48
>> So, this is a man-made lake and it's up
12:51
to 35 ft deep in the middle. It has
12:55
thousands of fish and hundreds and
12:57
hundreds of turtles with some being
12:59
obviously snapping turtles as well.
13:03
This is self-contained, so there's no
13:05
rivers, no streams, and nothing coming
13:07
into here. The only way this gets popped
13:10
off is through the rain.
13:13
What's the name of the lake?
13:14
>> Lake Vista.
13:16
>> Lake Benavista.
13:19
>> That makes total sense.
13:21
>> So, you were talking about the Fland,
13:23
literally was here, and there's the
13:25
double doors right there.
13:26
>> Wow.
13:27
>> That's where he went through
13:28
>> right there.
13:30
>> So, he like swam through here, climbed
13:32
up on there, went through the double
13:33
doors, and robbed the place.
13:35
>> Yes. That's where it was.
13:37
>> Do you know about that, Jacob?
13:38
>> Who robbed it?
13:40
A person scuba drove through here like
13:42
something like a James Bond movie
13:45
>> and snuck into the paddle cat
13:46
paddlefish.
13:47
>> But I just went to church.
13:49
>> Took the money.
13:52
>> Probably looked more like that.
13:54
>> So this is like 110° out here. This is
13:57
where you and I would get wet.
13:59
>> Oh yeah,
14:00
>> we're going to get you're going to get
14:01
wet. Jacob's wave now.
14:03
>> Give it some gas.
14:04
>> Here's a wave.
14:05
>> It's not that one. Ride the wave. Woo.
14:08
>> Sorry, I'm not. But normally if I put my
14:11
foot down and hit it, it'll go straight
14:14
up and straight down.
14:24
>> Four Disney properties. One of them
14:24
being out in front of you. Do you know
14:26
what that one's called?
14:27
>> Saratoga Springs.
14:28
>> It is the Saratoga Springs. And that is
14:30
basically a Disney vacation members
14:32
club. So, if you're not sure what that's
14:35
that is, it's a Disney time share. So,
14:38
those boats are free. They'll drop you
14:40
off at the Saratoga. They'll also take
14:43
you to the Treehouse Villas, Key West,
14:45
and the Old Ports on Riverside down. So,
14:49
you can go and have a look at the
14:50
hotels, jump back on, and come back.
14:53
They have restaurants, they have bars.
14:55
The research
14:57
we were made in Germany in West Germany
15:00
between 1961 to 1964.
15:04
Nothing's been modified or added
15:05
anything. Everything in this car is
15:07
original except for one thing. And
15:10
that's the gas tank in the front. It's
15:12
just too heavy. So, they changed it to
15:15
uh aluminum.
15:17
Where I come from, do you know what it's
15:19
called?
15:19
>> Aluminium. That's close enough.
15:22
>> Aluminum. Yes.
15:24
That's it. Good stuff.
15:26
>> Go seven knots on the uh water and up to
15:30
70 mph on the road.
15:37
When you're driving a car, okay, we have
15:38
no rudders in daily life boats. Our
15:40
rudders at the bottom is our front
15:42
tires.
15:44
So, you're driving a car, remember? So,
15:47
if you want to go left, you turn the
15:49
steering wheel left. your front wheels.
15:51
>> You're saying that tires are actually
15:53
what propel?
15:55
>> That's actually our rudders.
15:56
>> Wow, that's amazing.
15:57
>> Yeah. So, I want to go right. I'm
15:59
turning the steering wheel right and our
16:01
wheels are going right.
16:04
>> That's really cool.
16:05
>> It is. So, it's got a reverse as well,
16:09
but if I put it in reverse, it won't
16:10
work cuz there's no nothing underneath
16:13
us.
16:13
>> No tracks. The water has no tracks.
16:16
>> Yeah. So, there's a I got a clutch here.
16:28
>> Okay. So, there's a lever there. So, if
16:28
we get any problems, we just then put
16:30
that lever in the back and we're going
16:31
back now.
16:41
>> Like Batman.
16:41
>> Very Batman, right?
16:42
>> The bat mode.
16:49
Say that again.
16:49
>> Boats have build pumps.
16:51
>> Yeah,
16:51
>> we're no different. So, if we have any
16:53
water in the back, I'll just press the
16:54
BGE.
16:56
>> Can you see it coming out?
16:57
>> Oh, yeah.
17:12
You don't mind me saying, next time you
17:12
come here, have a go at this at night
17:14
time.
17:15
>> Yeah. Yeah. So, if you can try go up to
17:19
the podium about 7 7:30 and see how long
17:21
the wait is. If you can get on here and
17:24
time it right to about 8:45,
17:27
all of this is pitch black, the
17:30
shoreline is all lit up, then at 9:00
17:33
you're on the water and you've got
17:35
fireworks going off. It just gives you a
17:37
different perspective.
17:38
>> Sure.
17:47
As I said, the boats are free of charge
17:47
if you ever want to jump on them and you
17:48
get them on the other side of the
17:50
rainforest.
18:01
>> Are there any gators in this pond or in
18:01
this lake?
18:01
>> That's a great uh great question. Now, I
18:03
can never say no, but in all the years
18:06
this has been going, I've never seen
18:08
any. None of us have
18:09
>> really.
18:10
>> Yeah. So, so we can always normally in
18:13
Florida, you know, if there's a pool of
18:14
water,
18:15
>> there's a gator,
18:16
>> right?
18:17
>> But here, we've never ever seen any in
18:19
this body of water.
18:20
>> As you said, there's no way there's no
18:21
waters in or out.
18:23
>> Correct.
18:23
>> So, one would have to be born here,
18:25
right?
18:27
>> Or someone just sneaks it in. Drops it
18:30
off.
18:30
>> Little bit sick. Yeah.
18:34
>> So, the white tent's over there. I'm not
18:37
sure if I pronounce it right, but Sus.
18:41
>> And they have a great Disney show about
18:45
Disney animation.
18:58
That's what I was thinking. It was we
18:58
didn't have to blow a flag.
19:00
>> Flags up there. that at the very top.
19:04
>> As I said, the balloon's filled with
19:07
>> Yeah, the balloon's filled with helium.
19:09
>> The balloon cannot fly. There's enough
19:12
wind to blow the flag.
19:19
>> They do have an orange sock. You'll see
19:19
it when we get closer as well.
19:21
>> I thought about doing that cuz I want to
19:23
fish.
19:24
>> It's catch and release.
19:25
>> Yeah, catch and release. Fishing by
19:28
Disney at Disney Springs. That's cool.
19:37
Um,
19:37
what's the main fish that's in the in
19:38
here?
19:39
>> You're talking to somebody who doesn't
19:40
know nothing about fishing.
19:41
>> I don't either.
19:42
>> You know,
19:42
>> would it be bass? Bass, maybe?
19:44
>> It would probably be bass, but all I
19:45
know it would be wet.
19:47
>> It'd be what?
19:48
>> Wet.
19:48
>> Wet. Wet fish.
19:49
>> Yeah. Is that it? Really?
19:52
>> Do you like Beverly?
19:53
>> Oh, hell no.
20:00
>> The problem is you can't sip it. You got
20:00
to chug it.
20:01
>> And then just watch over your face turn.
20:05
>> Oh, blue car 4 checkpoint 3. You get to
20:08
come home.
20:15
>> Want one of the best uh cheap meals in
20:15
the Disney area. It's called the Earl of
20:17
Sandwich and that's over by uh the
20:21
Christmas shop area.
20:23
>> The plight pig is good as well. Remember
20:25
I work every Thursday. So whenever
20:27
you're here next time, come back and say
20:29
hello.
20:29
>> Make sure we pop in on a Thursday.
20:31
>> And do you work at night also? Till the
20:33
night shift
20:33
>> until they kick me out.
20:35
>> Yeah. It depends how busy we are and how
20:37
many captains we have.
20:39
>> If we're if we're not busy, they
20:40
normally kick me out.
20:52
>> So this is the original transmission of
20:52
60 odd years. So just bear that in mind.
20:55
Here
20:58
we go.
21:34
Fortunately, we require something with a
21:34
little more kick.
21:44
>> You lost your bet.
21:45
>> We made it back.
21:46
>> All right. The three of us discussed
21:48
what we wanted to eat and we came up
21:50
with the conclusion. Why not eat at
21:52
T-Rex amongst
21:54
the ice cave, the meteor storm, the big
21:57
squid, the T-Rexes, the dinosaurs,
22:00
prehistoric creatures. We are going to
22:01
eat at the T-Rex cafe diner. Yeah, it
22:05
changes colors. We ended up getting
22:07
ourselves a little souvenirs here. Also,
22:10
the every time you're on the AMPA car,
22:13
if you're an annual passholder and you
22:15
have or even if you're not an annual
22:17
passholder and you have photo pass, you
22:20
can get these for free.
22:22
>> Not the printouts though. You got to pay
22:23
for the printouts, which I did.
22:38
>> I got a pen. Jacob's getting excited.
22:38
Jacob's running off with the meteor
22:39
shower.
22:41
>> Look at that.
22:43
There it comes.
23:34
>> The meteor has brought the chips and
23:34
queso.
23:37
Did something arrive while I was in the
23:38
meteor shower?
23:39
>> It was It was a chips and queso shower.
23:42
>> Oh, that's nice.
23:43
>> It's arrived right there.
23:46
>> Oh, D.
23:53
>> Great. This looks wild.
23:54
>> Thank you so much. You're
23:54
>> welcome.
23:56
And look at this. The meteor has landed.
23:59
The meteor meatloaf. That is a ball of
24:03
meatloaf. Mashed potatoes.
24:05
gravy over there.
24:06
>> The chicken sandwich. I've always gotten
24:08
this
24:09
>> every time.
24:10
>> No meteors for Mike.
24:11
>> No meteor for me. I'm looking at it
24:12
though and it looks
24:14
>> Adam went for the meteor.
24:16
>> I was going to get pasta, but Jacob
24:18
suggested this and I can't turn this
24:20
down. This looks beautiful.
24:23
Look, mashed potatoes on the bottom of
24:25
it. Big meatball.
24:28
>> They're fried onions on that meatball.
24:30
>> Fried onions. They both went with the
24:32
meteor.
24:33
>> Some veggies.
24:34
>> We bought it came from that meteor shop.
24:36
I got the uh
24:39
>> sandwich. Chicken sandwich on a
24:41
newspaper.
24:42
>> That looks like a good chicken sandwich.
24:44
>> It is. You know, they charge you more
24:45
for the newspaper.
24:46
>> Yes,
24:47
>> that's right.
24:48
>> You can catch up on news. You catch up
24:50
on the recent events.
24:52
>> Catch up on the news. I just dropped my
24:54
big fan of meatloaf.
24:55
>> It's probably frowned upon. I'm
24:56
>> so a big fan of meteors. When the
24:58
meatball when the when the meteor storm
25:01
happens, it'd be kind of fun if we if
25:04
you could grab this and just throw it
25:06
across the the restaurant.
25:08
>> Meteor shower.
25:10
Probably frowned upon. Food pie.
25:17
>> That would be effective. Like the meteor
25:17
shower just raining balls of meat.
25:20
>> Oh, I guess it's happening.
25:24
>> Happening again.
25:25
>> Meteor.
25:27
Grab that meatball. Throw the meatball.
25:30
Adam's thinking about throwing his
25:31
meatball during the meteor shower. It's
25:33
a meatball.
25:33
>> Meatball.
25:36
>> Yeah. Crazy to be able to eat a meteor
25:37
meatball during the meteor shower.
26:01
Just notice there's like fire up top
26:01
there, too.
26:04
That's fun.
26:12
Uh-oh. The balloon is rising. It is
26:12
going to be a magical day of a balloon
26:15
ride. It's It's going up in the air. The
26:16
wind has stopped or subsided. I
26:18
purchased a pen and admission
26:21
to the balloon.
26:22
>> Welcome aboard. Thank you.
26:25
Yeah, I like the pen. I don't think I've
26:27
ever bought a pen before, so I'm going
26:28
to ahead and grab that. I've been on the
26:30
balloon a few times. It used to be
26:32
called Characters in Flight. Now it's
26:33
called Aeropile.
26:36
I've been on it a number of times.
26:37
Jacob's never been on it. Curious to see
26:40
how he reacts.
26:43
That's the cable. They just release the
26:45
cable to send you up, pull it back down
26:49
to Earth.
26:49
>> So, it's just down to the both of us
26:51
now. Micah had to head out. tapped out.
26:53
>> He had other things he had to do. It's
26:55
just you and I going up in the balloon.
26:57
I think he's done the balloon before,
26:58
though.
26:59
>> I think he said he done the balloon.
27:00
He's probably
27:03
>> We're getting ready to head up sky high
27:06
above Disney Springs.
27:08
First time I did this, it was rather
27:10
frightening. I've kind of gotten
27:12
acclimated to it over the years. You
27:14
never fully get used to it, but it's not
27:16
as not as scary as the first time. What
27:19
always gets me is
27:22
I always think like the one thing that's
27:23
holding this thing stansioning it to the
27:26
ground is that steel rope uh chain
27:30
there. What happens if that snaps?
27:35
>> Wait, what did you just say?
27:36
>> I don't I don't say it too loud, but
27:38
that's the only thing holding you to the
27:39
ground right there.
27:40
>> Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a big strong
27:42
>> very strong
27:43
>> big strong metal cable.
27:45
>> And if that snaps, then we we float off.
27:48
We landed Oz, I guess.
27:49
>> Yes. Just in time for the wicked sequel.
27:52
Oh, I'm so excited.
27:54
>> Pile everybody, my name is Brandon. I'll
27:56
be your pilot today. We are going to
27:57
feel a little motion here, so make sure
27:59
we're holding on. A
28:00
>> little motion.
28:01
>> All right, here we go.
28:12
>> Whoa.
28:12
>> You feel that?
28:13
>> I feel it.
28:14
>> Oh my gosh.
28:17
That looks Yeah, we're just taking off
28:18
here.
28:22
>> Got to get your sea legs.
28:24
>> Sea legs up here.
28:25
>> Oh yeah. Look at this. A little bit off
28:27
the ground here.
28:30
>> Oh my goodness.
28:31
>> So we got a little bit of a bump coming
28:32
up here.
28:34
>> Little bit of a bump.
28:35
>> Yeah, we're going to go up a little bit
28:36
faster.
28:37
>> Go up a little bit fast.
28:38
>> Get us up. Up. Up.
28:39
>> One more bump. He said
28:41
>> all the way skyhigh.
28:42
>> There was the bump.
28:50
Look at that. We are We are flying.
28:50
We're headed to the sky at a rapid rate.
29:13
>> Hollywood Tower over there.
29:14
Spaceship Birth Guardians.
29:16
>> Oh yeah.
29:17
>> Can you see any of the parks over there?
29:19
>> Yeah, Spaceship Earth right there.
29:21
>> There's uh Spaceship Birth from Epcot
29:25
>> over there.
29:40
>> Really good view of Disney Springs.
29:40
>> Paddlefish.

There's the little waterway area. At
29:44
least a lead into Pleasure Island back
29:47
in the day. The front entrance to
29:48
Pleasure Island was that bridge right
29:50
there. That used to be a

generally frowned upon?
30:25
>> They pro. It's probably uh Yeah,
30:26
definitely. Definitely frowned upon.
30:29
Yeah, we are all the way as far as the
30:31
cord can hold us. They look down. You
30:35
can see
30:36
>> we're as far this way as we could
30:37
possibly go. Yeah,
30:38
>> you can tell that the wind is blowing us
30:39
all the way that way.
30:40
>> So, the wind's coming.
30:41
>> You look way over there. You can see
30:42
SeaWorld way over there.
30:45
>> SeaWorld's over there.
30:46
>> That's the tower. Okay. Yeah.
30:48
>> Oh, and then you can kind of look way
30:50
over there. You see the Orlando Eye Icon
30:53
Park.

The WDW casting building right there. I4
31:03

Wow, that's a lot of Why is all that?

pontoon. It's a pontoon type.
