thought curious to see what the weather
1:47
does a cold front came in last night so
1:50
it's a little cooler than it was
1:51
yesterday not bringing a jacket but
1:54
probably got to buy some merchandise
1:55
including pins and things and if I need
1:57
a jacket maybe I'll buy one I was also
1:59
looking at the my dis experience app for
2:01
weight times and it seems to be kind of
2:04
busy for a Thursday as I'm filming
2:16
this don't know how many attractions and
2:16
rides I'm going to go on I just want to
2:17
do a loop around World Showcase maybe
2:19
get on a attraction maybe or two but if
2:22

2:26
some art some
2:27
Festival of the Arts
2:31
I also want to get uh event pin as well
2:35
ah just be on property feels pretty good
2:37
well over a month a week more than a
2:42
month
2:44
wdw there
2:47
goes the monor
2:50
rail it's good to be back it's good to
2:53
be back it's kind of nice to take a
2:54
break from places you go doing the
2:57
international stuff has really got to
2:59
but definitely a breath of fresh air
3:01
this year where I go somewhere for a
3:03
couple weeks and then come home and pop
3:06
into the parks for a little
3:13
bit but I got to say it is definitely
3:13
nice to see spaceship earth and all its
3:16
glory for the Epcot festival of the Arts
3:19
International Festival of the
3:24
Arts love Epcot hard to pick a favorite
3:27
Park but
3:28
Epcot I think epcot's my favorite Mark
3:31
right now used to be MGM Studios in the
3:33
early 90s I have a sof spot for Magic
3:35
Kingdom also but man Epcot the perfect
3:39
annual passholder Park especially
3:41
considering I Live 5 minutes away but
3:43
it's like the best AP Park out of all of
3:46
them even counting the ones I love on
3:47
the west coast it's just so easy to park
3:50
and get in here just walk right in you
3:52
have all the world showcase at your
3:54
disposal it's definitely a little windy
3:56
and Gusty this is always like a wind
3:57
tunnel underneath spaceship earth right
3:59
here actually I probably should check
4:01
and see what the what the weather is
4:02
looking like temperature- wise out here
4:05
it's uh it feels pretty dang good though
4:06
I'm I'm not complaining I always like
4:08
when it is cool and crisp yes annual
4:10
passholder magnet distribution I I don't
4:13
have this one yet so I think I'm going
4:14
to goad and grab it I was seeing online
4:15
they ran out of the original magnet so
4:17
now they're giving out a secondary
4:18
version of the magnet be honest I think
4:20
this came out a couple years ago but I
4:21
don't know if I have this mini one
4:23
originally it was Ray from Princess and
4:24
the Frog but again I'm 5 weeks late to
4:27
the Festival of the Arts so I I missed
4:29
out on the the on the ray one I in this
4:30
passholder shirt with figment I'm
4:32
wearing my figment shirt but there's
4:33
also a lounge fly fig I just love how
4:35
figment is represented so hard at Epcot
4:38
I just kind of wish they would redo the
4:39
the ride and give them an appropriate
4:40
ride for such a great character
4:42
affiliated with this Festival but I like
4:44
the spirit I'm not really a spirit
4:46
jersey guy but I do like that one they
4:48
also have the Luminous shirt this is not
4:49
a spirit jersey but yeah I really like
4:52
this I'm kind of drawn to this I've
4:53
never owned a spirit jersey but you know
4:54
what I never it was one point I never
4:56
wore Crocs so who knows maybe Spirit
4:57
jerseys are next speaking a lounge full
4:59
I don't think this is a festival one but
5:01
it's pretty pretty dang awesome another
5:02
figment one my goodness Epcot Crocs
5:06
$64.99 though goodness gracious but yeah
5:08
full on Epcot Crocs right here actually
5:11

5:13
it's Park hopping Crocs kind of neat
5:14
it's a lug bag it's like an like over
5:17

5:19
here a lug bag for the festival 2025 of
5:22
the Arts with uh okay having trouble
5:25
putting it back on there with with
5:26
figment and there's even more of like a
5:28
more carrying case style this almost
5:30
reminds me of like a old school like
5:32
lunch cloth lunch boox style ornaments
5:34
over here with figment on it got this
5:36
shirt here with the front pocket and on
5:38
the back figgy low up there I didn't
5:40
realize that figment with the paint
5:41
brush is also up top as well and here is
5:44
another spirit jersey I like this one
5:47
too I don't know maybe I'll get on the
5:48
spirit jersey kick at some point figman
5:50
is just everywhere look at him at bus
5:52
spaceship earth he's got his paintbrush
5:53

5:55
turis Tumblr action right here I like
5:57
that I do have a few turis tumblers I
5:59
don't know if if I really need another
6:01
one and if ears are something that's
6:02
like right up your alley or you fancy
6:04
these ears they have them as well this
6:06
this Festival only goes on for like what
6:08
four more days it's on the home stretch
6:11
slim pickings on the pins you got one
6:12
set here and one set here it's only on
6:14
one side of the rack I would imagine
6:16
opening day 5 weeks ago there would have
6:18
been like 17 of these racks but now this
6:20
is all that is left so do I get this one
6:23
or do I get this one I only need one
6:24
this is the one I got I just went with
6:26
one I only need one from the event and I
6:28
always collect figment pens so kind of
6:30
just like knocking two off the list in
6:32
my bag here with a little little figment
6:34
pin FES of the ARs 2025 pen accomplished
6:36
now there is an exhibit 30 years of
6:40
Disney on Broadway 30 years three
6:42
decades Disney's been on Broadway they
6:44
have a lot of the costumes exhibits the
6:47
little pieces of uh displays that kind
6:50
of explained a little bit of it kind of
6:52
walked through that and just checked out
6:53
30 years on Broadway some of the classic
6:55
Disney films brought to the Broadway
6:58
stage so after I checked out that kind
7:01
of perused around looked at all that
7:04
figments everywhere there figments
7:05
everywhere ended up going over to the
7:07
living Seas Pavilion and now I am
7:10
looking inside the tank here and it
7:12
looks as if there's a scuba diver down
7:14
there doing a little work he is uh
7:17
cleaning off the coral right down there
7:21
yeah the scuba divver is cleaning off
7:23
the coral here in the living seas and
7:25
all the fish going around the reason I
7:27
wanted to stop in here I've heard they
7:29
got a couple new manatees they're taking
7:31
care
7:32
of over in the manate tank so go check
7:36
that out after I get done looking at the
7:37
scuba divers they're cleaning the
7:39
cleaning the tank and the coral down in
7:42
there I'm going say hi to the new
7:44
manatees only they only been here 3
7:46
weeks they're really shy their name are
7:48
cider and Mino cider and Mino but
7:51
they're not here in the place the usual
7:52
manate is used to be they're back there
7:55
hiding even the lettuce is out cider
7:57
Amino not around there still getting
8:00
acclimated to their new environment and
8:01
they're not out for everyone to see them
8:03
Little Joe there's another Little Joe
8:05
and the other one the ones that used to
8:06
be in there but evidently they were
8:08
rehabilitated and check it out look the
8:10
Nemo ride is not working it's stuck
8:11
right now look at the clamshells just
8:13
just sitting
8:14
there it'll get moving in a second
8:16
trying to get used to these new names
8:18
instead of calling the whole front part
8:20
of the park future world there's all
8:21
these different names now this exit out
8:23
to World nature World Showcase still
8:25
called World Showcase but future world
8:26
is called like a variety of names now
8:28
it's going to take me a long long time
8:29
to not call it future world to be
8:32
completely honest but I'll get there
8:33
eventually very nice get another
8:35
Montreal view over here I'm going to
8:37
walk by Journey imagination Pavilion
8:39
head into World Showcase even though
8:40
this Festival is gearing down soon very
8:44
soon the Epcot Flower and G
8:46
International flower and garden festival
8:48
will be starting on March 5th I will not
8:50
be here opening day for that in fact I'm
8:51
going be out of the country for the
8:53
first half of the month of March I kind
8:55
of like showing up to these festivals
8:57
after way after they've started started
9:00
it's a little more I think it's
9:01
enjoyable see I'll still do opening day
9:03
things but it is kind of nice not always
9:05
being at the first day of things just uh
9:07
just a little more relaxing to walk
9:09
around way after the event is already in
9:11
full swing on Festival merch but I
9:13
always like looking at oh I've never
9:15
seen this check out this figment little
9:17
tumbler right here that's pretty cool
9:19
has figment in the Epcot Fawn around the
9:21
back and I pointed this out I don't know
9:23
a month or two ago when I was here the
9:24
size of this bag is gargantuan I mean
9:27
that there's my arm there's my hand and
9:28
look at this here maybe I could I don't
9:30
know if I can pull that off I could pull
9:31
figman off walking around with him on
9:33
the front of my torso but I don't know a
9:35
handbag would really fit me too much
9:37
it's a figment it's a figment day it's
9:40
all about figment it's all about little
9:41
little figgy I'm using my regular
9:43
passport to go to other countries they
9:44
also have this one here for World
9:45
Showcase that's kind of neat too right
9:47
$16 for a world showcase passport and it
9:50
has an honorary Ambassador pen on the
9:52
back should I get this I think I should
9:54
right pretty cool when hand got I got my
9:56
annual passholder discount also the P
9:58
includes passport 77 7 stickers and a
10:00
button and you can go around to each
10:02
country and have it stamped I might just
10:03
leave it in here and just uh you know
10:04
just keep it for a little souvenir but
10:06
part of the reason I'm not going as
10:08
heavy with Disney stuff is because I'm
10:09
seeing new things and traveling and
10:12
leaving the country and using a regular
10:14
passport so also I haven't been over to
10:16
the England UK Pavilion since I've been
10:18
to England so I want to stop by there
10:19
too yeah it's a little busy through here
10:20
elbow to Elbow on a week
10:25
day they expected to be this many people
10:27
here on a weak day wonderful walk of
10:30
colorful Cuisine I always love the Walt
10:33
quotes it's always trying to plan to
10:34
figure out if Walt really said something
10:36
or if they just put something on it says
10:37
well did Walt really say color does
10:39
brighten things up doesn't it he
10:41
probably did sometimes you'll find Walt
10:43
quotes that really Walt never said but
10:44
that that when he probably kind of neat
10:46
about showing up later in the festival
10:47
as you can see the wall almost completed
10:50
the paint by numbers thing which I've
10:52
done before but usually you can't tell
10:54
what it is but today you can right now
10:56
I'm going to get into World Showcase and
10:57

11:00

Friendship boat going across the world
11:51
showcase Lagoon right there very very
11:54
nice peaceful cool and crisp day here at
11:56
Epcot yes the old red telephone boxes at
11:59
it God to be honest that was the first
12:01
and only time I'd ever seen any of those
12:02
in person until I went to London England
12:05
recently and saw the real deal it pretty
12:08
dang cool to see them here for my whole
12:10
life and of course on TV and movies and
12:12
things but then to see them in person in
12:14
the real deal in England to see some
12:15
real pubs over in the UK which is pretty
12:18
awesome I had some fish and chips that I
12:20
had had here at Epcot and I got to go to
12:22
Abby let's see if they have any Beetle
12:24
merchandise over in the store at some
12:26
point I'll go to each and every country
12:27
that's here in World Showcase in the
12:29
Real Deal plus you know hundreds of more
12:31
countries but I want to go to all the
12:32
ones that are here represented at wdw
12:34
world showcase at Epcot at some point
12:36
and now I have a much better
12:38
recollection of knowing what all these
12:39
things are after seeing the real deal
12:41
over in the UK it's kind of neat it was
12:44
kind of neat to go there it was actually
12:45
was really neat to go there to be
12:46
completely honest up here on the not the
12:48
second floor but higher up above like
12:50
when you walk in this little store here
12:51
in the UK Pavilion I have never noticed
12:53
that there was artwork along the walls
12:55
and I've been in this building hundreds
12:57
and hundreds of times but never looked
12:59
up at the chandelier and the staircase
13:02
right here I've always noticed this guy
13:03
but never knew there was a staircase up
13:04
to a second floor this has a whole
13:06
different feel now after seeing the
13:07
shirt and being in that exact spot and
13:10
buying the vinyl in that exact spot it
13:12
is definitely uh has a different vibe
13:14
now knowing that I've done to Abby the
13:16
real Abbey Road oh I collect a variety
13:18
of pens figment obviously I got today
13:19
look at this shirt's pretty I could have
13:21
if I have had this there I could have
13:22
could have worn that but I like Mickey
13:24
pens and because I was just in England
13:26
and now I'm here in World Showcase I
13:28
should probably get this Mickey pen this
13:30
uh this guarded Mickey pen why not man
13:32
so good got Mickey in the in the
13:34
telephone box got a teacup right here
13:36
got the double decker bus and of course
13:37
got the tower bridge next to the Tower
13:40
of London yeah I definitely have a new
13:42
New Perspective now although I didn't
13:44
have any tea when I was over in England
13:45
I'm sure I'll go back to England at some
13:46
point and try some tea I can assure you
13:48
if my health stays okay and you know no
13:51
other life major life changes or
13:53
anything that affects travel throughout
13:54
this year I will be in France at some
13:57
point before the end 2025 I would love
14:00
to see the Eiffel Tower in person that's
14:03
it's definitely on my list it's not it's
14:05
not the next place I'm going to go but
14:06
it's it'll it'll happen soon it'll
14:08
happen it'll
14:10
all
14:12
happen and I am just really surprised on
14:15
how busy it is right here today like
14:18
this one of Mickey in the rainbow tunnel
14:19
with figma that's that's uh was up on
14:21
the top floor with a DVC lounges now at
14:23
the journey to imagination with a little
14:25
throwback Mickey and figment together
14:27
right there you got the you know the the
14:30
mascot basically of the corporation of
14:32
Mickey and then you got basically the
14:33
mascot of Epcot Center figment right
14:35
there the joining of the
14:37
two has some pretty good Star Wars and
14:41
Indiana Jones stuff in here as well yeah
14:44
pretty good got Iron Man up there but a
14:46
lot of Indie Harrison Ford
14:49
stuff got some prints out here as well
14:52
check out the Star Wars saga continues
14:54
that's pretty it's pretty dang awesome
14:56
to be honest that's pretty good decided
14:58
if I should get a snack snack from one
14:59
of the booer not should I get a little
15:00
Epcot snack check it out the sushi donut
15:03
you know what I might get the they also
15:04
have uh what other things they have the
15:06
wag but make get the sushi donut why not
15:09
so another place on my list is
15:10
definitely to go to Japan before the end
15:13
of 2025 hopefully we'll see what happens
15:16
I decided against the sushi donut I've
15:18
had it before it's pretty good and I
15:19
just I don't know it looked it looked
15:21
good but I thought go around try maybe
15:22
I'll try something I have never tried
15:24
before around world showcase for the
15:26
festival we'll find something different
15:27
again there is a lot of freaking people
15:29
here what the heck we're at the booth
15:31

15:38
hummingbirds in Ecuador had a pretty
15:39
good experience with some hummingbirds a
15:41
chicken quote pot pie or a deved egg
15:45
Trio pot pie sounds good but I might get
15:47

15:54
at this booth the artist table right

grabbed a bottle of water and and also
15:59
going to get the egg Trio evidently it's
16:02

16:17
devilish evil
16:20
eggs and I don't know which one is which
16:22
I think I read them off before I got in
16:24
line so my first little oh how you doing
16:28
man Southern America America Southern
16:31
Southern food what are the what are the
16:32
different flavors of n you know I don't
16:34
know I read it on the sign but I
16:35
forgotten I think that's like some kind
16:37
of bacon or something one with bacon
16:39
one's with pepper for sure this is
16:41
definitely something my grandma used to
16:42
make in Mississippi double deck that's
16:49
awesome all right let's go in on uh go
16:49
in on this one looks like a more of a
16:51
standard devil de right
16:59
there pretty good I do love I do love
16:59
some devil EG these are kind of small
17:01
eggs
17:03
though tasty all right this is the one
17:06
that has the most amount of stuff on it
17:09
I don't know if that's bacon I probably
17:11
should have paid more attention when I
17:12
read the
17:19
side I think that last one with whatever
17:19
the meat item that was on top had the
17:20
best flavoring I think that was my
17:22
favorite of the three it was adorned
17:25
with
17:25
flavor also glad I got this water so I
17:28
can wash him down watch those deviled
17:29
eggs get that evil into my belly over
17:32
here in the American Pavilion is some
17:33
art of David OS looks like he has the
17:36
trains at Disneyland you got the Walter
17:39
Elias Disney The Lily Bell rogi and Roy
17:42
are you getting the priz I'm assuming
17:44
that's Disneyland it might be Disney
17:46
World I know I guess it is wdw
17:49
Railway okay makes sense cuz I'm at
17:52
Disney World Mickey painting mini very
17:54
beautifully there in France here's a
17:56
friendship boat going across one of the
17:57
resorts behind up
17:59
hot got Maleficent there and Aurora also
18:03
got some Hocus Pocus of Sanderson
18:05
sisters we got the bride o old school
18:08
bride she still has the hatchet the
18:10
Disneyland just got rid of the hatchet
18:11
now she just has like a bouquet of
18:12
flowers which is interesting also
18:14
speaking of interesting that's a that's
18:17
a rendition of figment there with his
18:19
artistic pallet right there little
18:21
paintbrush and everything on him and
18:23
then Mickey down there does he have
18:25
Duffy with him evidently there's an
18:26
official poster here too with figment
18:28
flying around in front of spaceship
18:30
earth oh what is this is this a hint why
18:32
is the dream Finder right here on this
18:34
poster why is the dream is that a is
18:37
that a hint for future refurb of the
18:39
journey to imagination ride I am going
18:41
to say I'm all for it right continuing
18:44
on into the throngs of people around
18:47
World
18:48
Showcase the throngs the miniature
18:51
trains going up the hillside over here
18:53
next to the Germany Pavilion well
18:55
between the two Pavilions heading over
18:57
towards Germany I like this little one
18:59
going up going up and around the bend
19:02
take a look down here there's an even
19:04
bigger one kind of rolling across the
19:06
the riverbed right there oh we're
19:08
getting a we're getting a crossing of
19:09
those two and then the third one going
19:11
around as well so you got the one I was
19:13
just showing you got the one going
19:15
through the tunnel and then you have
19:16
this one going directly underneath my
19:20
Crocs course another place on my radar
19:22
is going to Germany people have
19:24
suggested maybe I could go over there
19:25
with the GI maybe when German and Venice
19:27
is over in Germany I could visit there
19:29
and we've talked about it but our
19:31
schedules have never aligned it'd be
19:33
cool to go to Germany with the GI but I
19:35
also one day who knows maybe years from
19:37
now for the GI to come visit me in
19:39
Florida and I could bring him here to
19:41
the Germany Pavilion and I could also
19:43
take him down to Venice Florida and he
19:45
could be the German in Venice Florida
19:48
I'd like to get his who knows it might
19:50
be years from now but I don't know it'd
19:52
be kind of cool to go to Germany with
19:54
German and Venice and then also bring
19:56
him here at one point you know it's you
19:58
got a lifetime Time ahead of us so maybe
19:59
you never know what the what the future
20:01
holds but anyway maybe maybe one day
20:03
with the GI know it's busy when there is
20:05
like a 50 person deep line to get into
20:08
caramel cooch the uh coo the chocolate
20:10
place I think I'm pronouncing that I'm
20:12
probably pronouncing it in a way I
20:13
shouldn't be pronouncing it I just kind
20:14
to continue down and around World TR I
20:17
got to find another little little snack
20:18
I got to find another little bite to eat
20:20
while I'm out here s just by scootery
20:22
it's definitely a very retro Vibe right
20:24
there look at a little date night in
20:25
front of Space Mountain right over there
20:28
and then you kind of zip around here he
20:29
has a very retro Vibe I like the
20:31
Tomorrowland people mover you also have
20:34
the Sci-Fi Diner right there teacups
20:37
Mickey and mini in front of small world
20:39
and then Mickey and mini with wal the
20:40
dreamer sculpture and figment right
20:42
there in front of spaceship earth can't
20:44
really decide if I like the tomorrow L I
20:46
think the tomorrow L one might be my
20:48
favorite right there but it's really
20:49
hard to to beat the Space Mountain one
20:52
as
20:52
well yeah this $60 for this price $60
20:56
for this one these are 350 for this
20:58
version but I really like I really like
21:00
that one with the people mover I love
21:01
the People Mover so much these throwback
21:03
like black and white style are pretty
21:05
awesome too look like an old black and
21:06
white TV check out Gaston there at his
21:09

21:26
lot of filming locations that I've known
21:27

21:29
in person I got to see Nick P was here
21:33
yeah Nick P was here he's done some
21:35
YouTube videos did a great Teen Wolf

21:39

21:41
like I'm Nick P I was like holy cow so
21:43

21:48
crowds well I see crowds cuz there are
21:49
crowds here but see some clouds
21:52
formulating up there as I go past the
21:55
Africa refreshment Outpost across the
21:57
bridge it's turning out to be a pretty
21:59
nice day here at Disney World someone's
22:01
over there just really going to town on
22:03
the drums over at the African Pavilion
22:06
they're just pounding on those drums and
22:07
all the different noise makers and all
22:09
that I'm just going to continue on past
22:11
the China yes China's on my list as well
22:14
and also Norway when I was in Ecuador at
22:17
my uncle's who is my uncle on my mom's
22:20
side she he is the youngest in the
22:21
family my mom is the oldest on that
22:23
family he was showing me some photos and
22:25
he was like take a look at this photo of
22:27
this church and I go that's a Norwegian
22:29
uh church that's a staves church and he
22:31
goes no I think it was somewhere else
22:32
and then he corrected himself he goes
22:33
you know what it is Norway and the photo
22:35
he showed me looked just like this I
22:37
want to see one of these staves church
22:38
one day when I go to Norway wow the
22:40
Frozen Ever After line starts right
22:43
there there's the cast member holding
22:44
the side it is I got to check the weit
22:47
time I got to check see the weight times
22:49
are it's busy today and even though I've
22:50
been to Tijana I really don't consider
22:52
that being Into the Heart of Mexico and
22:54
I want to go to Mexico at some point in
22:57
2025 maybe one of the bigger cities like
22:59
Mexico City or some or maybe one of the
23:01
other cities deeper into to Mexico than
23:04
Tiana I mean Tiana is technically Mexico
23:07
but I don't was it was a while back I
23:08
don't feel like I've really properly
23:10
explored too much sometime this year I
23:12
got to pop into the old odsy build I
23:15
guess technically it still is the
23:16
Odyssey building they're using for this
23:18
particular festival called figments
23:20
inspiration station right inside the
23:23
Odyssey building but check it out and
23:25
figment if you just follow along the
23:27
empty monitor rail I was kind of hoping
23:29
the Montreal would go by but for some
23:31
reason The Montreal's not not showing
23:33
its face at this particular moment
23:35
figment home just right over there the
23:37
journey to imagination Pavilion he just
23:39
zip along and here is his inspiration
23:42
station it was busy as Epcot is right
23:44
now there was really hardly anybody
23:46
inside the former Odyssey building used
23:48
for this for the event for the Festival
23:51
of the Arts so really wasn't a whole
23:53
heck of a lot of people inside the
23:56
building as well like you kind of walk
23:57
through and they have all the figment
23:59
represented there's also a special
24:00
popcorn bucket they have a new popcorn
24:01
bucket every year usually with figment
24:03
on it last year it was a journey to
24:05
imagination Pavilion with figment in
24:06
there is pretty cool this time it's like
24:08
a light bulb he has like he's like a he
24:10
has an idea cuz he's full of imagination
24:12
figment on top of it they had the
24:14
popcorn in it as well I don't think I'm
24:16
going to get this particular one I do
24:17
have quite a few popcorn buckets but I
24:18
decided maybe not to get this this
24:20
particular one but I I do like some
24:22
popcorn buckets but sometimes they take
24:24
up a lot of space and this one really
24:25
didn't jump out at me or strike my fancy
24:28
quite as much but they have a a virtual
24:30
queue a mobile queue that you can have
24:32
to get it you didn't even need it there
24:34
was just so many of them all you had to
24:36
do is just walk up there was absolutely
24:37
no line so if you get here later in the
24:39
season you just walk right up and get
24:41
the popcorn bucket with no rush and
24:42
plenty of Elbow Room have a little area
24:43
over here where you can take chalk and
24:45
draw whatever you want onto the floor
24:47
right there you got Mickey right there
24:48
you got the sorcerer's cap right over
24:51
there among other things right now over
24:52
here at guardians Guardians you have to
24:54
have a virtual queue but I think in like
24:56
five or six days I think like 25th or 2
24:58
six of this month less than a week they
25:00
will have a standby queue so you can
25:02
just wait in a regular line also Tiana's
25:04
bio Adventure over at Magic Kingdom will
25:06
no longer have a virtual queue so
25:07
that'll be pretty pretty dang nice which
25:09
means if you got here at ROP trop ran
25:10
over here you can probably get on this
25:12
thing a couple times in one day versus
25:13
the one time which is the virtual que
25:16
future world the lines aren't too bad so
25:17
you got 25 minutes for spaceship earth
25:20
15 minutes for Nemo well 30 minutes for
25:23
Nemo 55 minutes for saurin 25 for the
25:26
land usually the land's pretty much a
25:28
walk on 30 minutes to see journey to
25:30
imagination figment you know it's busy
25:32
when that's a half hour weight rat twoy
25:34
80 minutes 35 minutes for the Mexico
25:37
boat ride 70 minutes for
25:40
Frozen ever after 15 minutes for the
25:43
ride I never go on what's that called
25:45
Mission tomorrow's mission to space
25:46
mission space my least favorite ride in
25:48
all all of Walt Disney World so those
25:51
are the wait times right now not too bad
25:54
but definitely not walkable and start
25:56
heading
25:57
out making my
26:00
way out towards the parking
26:05
lot my one and only trip to epcot's
26:18
Arts has come to a
26:18
completion tram is dropping off other
26:21
guests I am
26:30
departing we're the Final Approach to
26:30
oh where are you how are you in hand got
26:33
some devil deviled eggs got some other
26:35
merchandise as
26:37
well I ended up getting a long sleeve
26:40
shirt and a couple more pins I'll show
26:42
when I get to my home you know what I've
26:46
never noticed I've never
26:48
noticed how high
26:50
up these shrubs are look at this usually
26:54
those are cut down a little closer but
26:56
maybe they're working on
26:59
having like a hedge there or something
27:00
they're usually are not that
27:03
high right
27:11
there interesting the things you notice
27:11
also obviously that's Guardians over
27:13
there going to have a standby queue soon
27:15
enough I think like in a week or
27:17
less I don't know if I will be back over
27:20
here to try it or that with Tiana but
27:22
maybe you kind of need to do Tiana's bio
27:24
Adventure without a q line without a
27:27
virtual queue I should say
27:31
yeah those are really tall I don't know
27:31
maybe I just never noticed that those
27:33
Hedges or those that grass is as high as
27:35
up as it
27:41
is all right nice little stroll around
27:41
World Showcase saw some art bought some
27:44
merch had some deviled eggs they were
27:48
tasty didn't go too hard on spending
27:51
