Patrick's Day yep and I don't want to
0:31
get pinched social distancing you have
0:37
to worry about that today the news
0:38
throughout the US and the world is ever
0:41
changing so by tomorrow or the next day
0:43
some things that we might show might not
0:45
even be revelant prevalence revelant one
0:50
of those words less crowds some of the
0:53
no Corrections no crowds no crowd some
0:55
pictures of some things here they not
0:57
have anybody walk in front of me or
0:58
disrupt anybody so that's coming I was
1:01
reading the news info and they were
1:03
saying there's actually one piece of
1:05
traffic going by as I was pulling in
1:07
there was not a lot of vehicles it was
1:08
like a ghost town but all things Disney
1:13
operated at Springs are closed but
1:15
anything that is on their own accord
1:17
that rinse a spot is still currently as
1:20
of this moment open okay I'm talking too
1:23
much let's get in there everybody could
1:24
enjoy me and Micah shall you
1:56
it is approximately 11:45 a.m. just
1:56
about lunchtime and no one over here in
1:59
the courtyard grabbing a meal at House
2:01
of Blues the balloon appears to be
2:02
stationary as well looking this
2:04
directions towards cirque de soleil as
2:06
plenty of elbow room and the opposite
2:08
direction past splitsville and AMC it's
2:11
not everyday you see no one over at
2:14
Starbucks no one at all that is a rarity
2:17
from this distance from what I can tell
2:19
the world of coke on the right might be
2:22
I don't know I can't tell if it's open
2:23
but I did see the doors open at Planet
2:25
Hollywood obscured by this fountain and
2:28
looking back the opposite direction from
2:31
where I was standing
2:32
normally the line for chicken guy is
2:35
very extensive not today I also just
2:38
checked world of coke is officially not
2:41
open today no one up on that top balcony
2:43
like usual we'll have to be patient wait
2:46
for the photo past to come back over
2:48
time any patient can't do any pin
2:50
trading either at the moment no no no
2:52
that's not baby Yoda in front of
2:54
rainforest that is a tree frog appears
2:56
as if even the Gator is slumbering his
2:58
it not even opening his mouth not one
3:00
bit or his eyes he's snoozing rey and
3:03
bb-8 have been added to the lego store
3:05
and the dragon sitting here wondering
3:07
what the heck is going on this
3:09
directional sign it's shown has all the
3:11
parks that are no longer open across the
3:13
world
3:13
t-rex looking a little bit lonely don't
3:16
worry you're safe in there well act
3:17
technically you're already extinct open
3:19
on st. Patty's and this is this is the
3:23
scene think about that this should be
3:25
their busiest day to be honest this is a
3:27
little bit mind-blowing they're supposed
3:29
to have something called the mighty
3:30
festival going on what the heck is this
3:32
thing here at the Amphicar launch and a
3:34
little hidden tugboat there behind the
3:36
sign there in the water you see it a
3:38
little tugboat taking the day off this
3:41
certainly is an occasion you don't see
3:42
too often as of this moment the resorts
3:45
are still open we have booked a
3:47
reservation I was a called Kona the Kona
3:49
cast
3:49
the Polynesians we're gonna try to go
3:51
over there maybe do if the monorails are
3:53
on but trying to take a boat or try to
3:55
see what the resorts are happening
3:56
around resorts this is the traffic
3:59
situation
4:22
there goes no monorail this is slightly
4:22
unusual you can drive through but I
4:25
don't know what happens next
4:27
guess we got to pull through and loop
4:28
around guessing so
4:40
it seems like there's some sort of cast
4:40
members on site kind of what I figured
4:42
is gonna be a little rerouting there are
4:44
some they were cones approaching but are
4:49
veering us off to the left
5:04
so much Wow kind of wondering if we can
5:04
access going over to the Pali through
5:07
TTC give it a try
5:16
working cast member parking okay we're
5:16
gonna we're not gonna go that direction
5:17
kind of head around the directional
5:21
arrows to where they want us to go on
5:23
any other given day that parking lot
5:47
all right made it to the poly Polynesian
5:47
like oh it call it the poly for short
5:49
always wonderful to run into this
5:51
smiling face here's a pretty good
5:53
perspective of Cinderella Castle and
5:55
Space Mountain as far as I can tell
5:56
there are no guest boats running or mana
6:00
rails time for a meal at the Kona cafe
6:03
taking a look at the menu I think I
6:05
might opt for a sushi roll and other
6:07
things all right I changed my mind I'm
6:09
getting a stir freaking stir fry Oh
6:11
what's this this is the Reuben that's
6:15
great thank you these are the chicken a
6:18
rather large
6:26
it's good it's messy we definitely have
6:26
plenty of social distancing taking place
6:28
at the moment
6:29
now just so happened to work out there's
6:31
nobody in the tables next to us
6:32
no monorail service these doors won't
6:34
even open I stand corrected they are
6:36
running some of the pontoon boats you
6:38
can rent to go out on the seven seas
6:39
Lagoon often the distance is the Grand
6:42
Floridian hotel I'm gonna walk over
6:44
there see what's happening this is a
6:46
decent-sized Tiki here next to these
6:48
flowers I like that this is a pretty
6:51
good spot to see all three of the
6:54
resorts along the lagoon here we got the
6:58
Polynesian way over there is the
7:00
contemporary if you look closely you can
7:04
see the castle and grant Floridian it's
7:12
fairly quiet this is designated picture
7:14
point and look what's directly through
7:16
the middle there you see it let me zoom
7:19
in just a bit that familiar structure
7:23
that iconic Walt Disney World's Castle I
7:27
don't know what's more impressive the
7:29
chandelier or those domes I always like
7:32
the vibe in here plenty of seating
7:34
available down there on the couches and
7:36
the chairs the real question is how are
7:38
we going to get over to the contemporary
7:39
give me a little inside fact a factoid
7:42
about this place that no one might know
7:44
each handle here weighs one
7:47
gosh if only one of these transportation
7:49
devices was up and running as well I'd
7:51
be riding in style there's also the
7:53
option to wait here at the bus stop
7:54
they're saying about every hour they
7:56
will just take you where you need to go
7:57
nothing designated you just say I want
8:00
to go to the contemporary
8:00
or I want to go back to the Pali or
8:02
yacht club beach club any of those and
8:05
everyone just gets on one bus and they
8:07
drop you off that's another option
8:18
Holly it is it will drive over the
8:18
contemporary
8:33
maybe plenty of walking today so don't
8:33
feel so bad about this oh it's pretty
8:34
nice and then we'll just talk back in
8:37
your car go over the right up here's
9:08
this next little dip yeah we're down in
9:11
there so you just drop let us off right
9:13
here man greatly appreciate it yeah
9:15
thank you
9:38
normally I do not film a monorail track
9:38
without a monorail on it but I do not
9:41
have a choice today
9:47
do not have a choice they are not
9:47
running about to go under the water
9:49
bridge right there
9:58
right above us was water over to the
9:58
right
10:09
tippy top of the castle there you can
10:09
see the police have it barricade is so
10:11
no buses or vehicles allowed into Magic
10:15
Kingdom parking over there and speaking
10:18
of Lots I have never in all my years
10:22
seen this one as empty as it is now it's
10:32
gonna be a little strange going inside
10:33
there not seeing the monorail going
10:35
through it it's gonna be a little weird
10:54
sorcerer Mickey down there performing a
10:54
little magic for the topia twirled he
10:56
has a topiaries up performing magic for
11:00
the flowers and stationary monorail
11:04
right next to that fantastic Mary Blair
11:08
mural looks as if contempo cafe is open
11:11
however chef Mickey's an outer rim is
11:14
not oh wait I think I'm mistaken Chef
11:18
Mickey's there is a little activity over
11:20
there so perhaps they will be serving
11:22
dinner this is just something hard to
11:26
wrap my head around this just just
11:27
leaves just chilling here here's another
11:29
angle of that tile mural goes up the
11:33
side
11:40
okay Buena Vista gifts BVG is open for
11:40
business as well as Fantasia both of
11:43
them are having that gate pulled out is
11:46
something you don't see every day with
11:47
that's the escalator leading up to the
11:49
monorail platform and the security area
11:51
all all shut down celebrating Saint
11:54
Patrick's Day with a seasonal one day
11:57
only cookie oh yeah mica pointed out
12:01
that this has been the monorail shooting
12:05
upward there there goes the cupcake and
12:10
of course happy st. Patty's Day
12:45
up on the 12th floor now looking
12:45
downward see the shops down below and
12:50
now to the opposite side looking over
12:53
the grandeur of Walt Disney World's
12:57
Magic Kingdom since 1971 it has not been
13:02
closed for this amount of time and
13:06
getting a very good bird's eye
13:08
perspective from way up here Space
13:10
Mountain to the far right the castle in
13:12
the middle and over to the far left
13:14
bottom are the bus transportation and
13:17
where the ferry boat docks not seeing
13:20
the astro orbiter spin around is kind of
13:22
blowing my mind a little bit and if you
13:24
look over to the left that's Big Thunder
13:26
Mountain Railroad you best remove them
13:28
Beauty and the Beast layer the castle
13:31
there on top of the restaurant and then
13:35
Barnstormer off in the distance and the
13:37
tippy top of mine train and speaking of
13:41
trains that's the station in the front
13:42
of the station and kind of to the right
13:45
right middle ish of the screen Splash
13:47
Mountain I don't know for certain but I
13:50
would imagine a lot of construction will
13:52
be taking place
13:53
you know Tron was already kind of behind
13:55
closed doors and this is what's gonna be
13:57
popping up a new attraction that's going
13:59
to be kind of rearing its head over the
14:01
next couple years do you know an opening
14:03
date of Tron mica or is it still kind of
14:05
up in the air so we do not know off the
14:09
top of our head even getting a little
14:13
wide shot here once again you can also
14:15
see how empty that parking lot for the
14:17
contemporary is down below definitely a
14:22
unique perspective that I've never seen
14:25
before this is highly unusual monorail
14:29
station where they pull in right in
14:31
front of the train station is that
14:33
little circular pattern there if I pan
14:35
over across seven seas Lagoon there you
14:39
have always want to say I always want to
14:43
say grande California but it's the Grand
14:44
Floridian you know being from Orange
14:47
County California spending more time out
14:49
there even though I do spend a lot of
14:51
time here that always is what I want to
14:53
say in the
14:54
the Polynesian there and this is all
14:56
from the perspective from the 12th floor
14:58
outside view of the Contemporary Resort
15:03
three resorts here around next to Magic
15:08
Kingdom across from Bay Lake and
15:11
overlooking seven seas Lagoon Bay Lake
15:13
would be on the opposite side of where
15:15
I'm standing so if you took the opposite
15:18
side of this you'd see Bay like on the
15:21
other side of the building also just
15:24
noticing the people mover track guess
15:27
probably the closest proximity would be
15:29
kind of wedged in there as it runs
15:31
around Tomorrowland next to Space
15:34
Mountain kind of wish I was on that
15:37
thing right now cruising around
15:40
Tomorrowland and Magic Kingdom want to
15:44
show this as well looking the other
15:46
direction peeking up over the horizon is
15:49
Expedition Everest Animal Kingdom is way
15:53
over there I'd also be content with
15:56
walking down Main Street USA right now
15:58
getting a hot dog and enjoying an icy
16:01
cold coca-cola at its corner I'll give
16:06
