Market Street in Celebration Florida and
0:13
the friend of mine is in town visiting
0:14
Stephanie hi
0:17
extending next to the Fountain does this
0:19

0:20

0:23
a smaller version of the orange if you
0:27
will so today got to do a few things
0:29
we're going to wander around celebration
0:30
go over to Old Town
0:34
usually when you're in town we've got
0:36
old town for the Saturday night cruise
0:37
yeah there's no satellite Cruise today
0:39
yeah because it's a weekend yeah because
0:41
it's Tuesday and also going to go buy
0:43
the Big Orange
0:45
and also the what was the formerly the
0:48
purple hotel from the Florida project
0:50
which is now new ownership and changed
0:52
around it's gonna be weird normal like
0:54
all beige and stuff yeah really cool
0:56
yeah so we're gonna do a few things like
0:57
that then we're gonna come back and eat
1:00
at one of your favorite places here in
1:01
town yeah
1:09
we're gonna do we're just gonna have a
1:09
casual day inviting you to join me and
1:11
Daphne
1:13
I was trying to think of the last time
1:15
that you were here has it been about a
1:16
year
1:23
it's March of last year of 22.
1:23
so some things have probably changed but
1:27
some things remain the same
1:32
the Gators have grown up by now yeah the
1:32
gate you know what we're kind of
1:34
mentioning off camera that the Gators I
1:36
haven't seen a gator in the lake in a
1:38
while but I was talking to a local
1:39
fisherman who's always out here you know
1:41
a few times a week and he said he's seen
1:43
a few of them so evidently they have
1:44
just slipped past my radar
1:46
since I have uh
1:48
been back in town in perus and around
1:50
the lakefront so maybe we'll see one
1:51
today maybe you're the gator good luck
1:53
charm you're the gator Whisperer
1:56
yeah see cool Decatur I don't see them
1:59
all grown up now growing up cool
2:01
well there's a truck pull in here you
2:04
rarely see 18 wheeler trucks
2:06
in celebration that is unusual
2:09
I don't think I've ever seen
2:11
an 18-wheeler truck right here on the
2:14
road over here
2:22
thank you
2:22
must be lost this is for posterity
2:26
never ever have I seen an 18-wheeler
2:30
driving down Market Street before never
2:32
have
2:33
I know does it seem like that big of a
2:35
deal but trust me this is the first time
2:36
I've ever seen that
2:38
the wrong turn Albuquerque one thing I
2:41
definitely need is some caffeine
2:44
kind of waited till a little later in
2:46
the day to get one when picked up at the
2:48
airport by about getting one at the
2:50
airport which notice that MCA was really
2:52
really busy
2:55
yeah I didn't get a coffee there I
2:55
really
2:56
had a dragon today after
2:58
doing today was my 15th day on the
3:01
treadmill in Iraq 15 days that's a good
3:03
thing we got in there soon because
3:04
Starbucks closes at five o'clock today
3:07
which is like 40 minutes from right now
3:09
all right we're on a quest
3:11
to find
3:13
a gator I think there's something
3:15
breathing in the middle yeah there's
3:17
always like something bubbling up right
3:19
there I call it like the I think it's
3:21
like the secret Loch Ness monster of
3:23
Celebration there's like a bubbling
3:25
gurgling
3:26
water down in the middle there
3:29
It's usually the Gators they kind of
3:31
hang out over towards the movie theater
3:33
size they're waiting for the theater
3:35
open like everyone else is but it's been
3:36
closed for 11 years but yeah you could
3:38
just see the gurgling up of the water
3:39
there's some sort of monster living in
3:41
there
3:42
who knows oh there's a turtle right
3:44
there it's submerging himself down in
3:46
the water up he just got shy
3:48
there's a turtle down there
3:51
up there's come back up turtle's coming
3:53
back up
3:54
right there
3:57
yeah look at that getting a little air
3:59
popping his head up now it's going back
4:01
under the water submerging himself
4:09
so you'd be able to go over here and
4:09
you'll be able to see from whence you
4:10
came earlier because there is uh there's
4:13
a little little uh La reference over
4:15
here from kind of where you're just you
4:18
were earlier before you arrived here
4:21
my arms
4:29
miles as the crow flies I believe
4:29
someone's flashing around in the water
4:31
trying to get a sweat yeah I've never
4:34
I've never like if you
4:36
like if it's like more like 2500 miles
4:37
driving but by a plane 2197 never
4:42
confirmed that or denied that but yeah
4:44
whatever the Burbank area
4:47
yeah I've also heard that when they
4:50
originally made this Fountain they
4:52
spelled Walt Disney World wrong and they
4:55
had to fix it yeah there's photographic
4:57
evidence somewhere but I've never I've
4:58
never found it but what's the rumor
5:01
anyway
5:20
also fun fact the big Eisner fan
5:20
in the 90s at Disney and one time Eisner
5:23
he did an interview where he goes oh I'm
5:26
pretty much
5:27
already at Disney all you got to do is
5:30
change the first and last letter of my
5:32
last name I've already got the middle
5:34
four net letters
5:36
so that's how he was like I'm pretty
5:39
close to being a Disney but you changed
5:41
the D to an E and the Y to an R it was a
5:45
stretch for Michael but yeah I get what
5:47
he was going for that the squirrel came
5:49
to say hi
5:50
Square
5:55
hello squirrel
5:55
this is a real squirrel the duck that is
5:58
behind the tree of the squirrels in
6:00
front of is not a real duck that is a
6:02
real squirrel not an animatronic it's
6:04
also been rumors that when celebration
6:06
first opened and Disney built it back in
6:08
the mid 90s that they had fake
6:10
animatronics but it's completely not
6:13
true I can't I've never seen any proof
6:17
of that being here however there is a
6:20
duck over here
6:25
that is a decoy duck also I should
6:25
mention if you want to follow along with
6:26
my Instagram stories of me hitting the
6:29
gym my Instagram is Adam the woo atw
6:31
I'll post little stories on there I'll
6:33
be doing the I've been getting caught up
6:35
on movies I actually watched Guardians
6:36
volume two I finished it yesterday and
6:39
today an hour each day
6:41
and I have named this duck Howard the
6:43
Duck
6:45
from in the Canon of the Marvel films
6:48
Howard the Duck the movie with Leah
6:50
Thompson playing a rocker
6:53
but I also realized that Howard the Duck
6:55
is in Guardians of the Galaxy volume 2.
6:58
so Howard is back on track so this duck
7:01
right here is going to be very relevant
7:02
very soon
7:04
even though I think part two came out
7:05
like six years ago so I'm just now
7:07
getting around to it oh you looked up
7:09
what Howard the Duck was yeah because
7:12
you've talked about it so I was like
7:13
what does he look like yeah and there's
7:14
nothing that could prepare me for what
7:16
he looks so it the real Howard the Duck
7:18
not not the not the decoy Howard no the
7:20
other house yeah I was like have you
7:22
ever seen the movie
7:24
no
7:31
it's interesting yeah he looks
7:31
interesting well you like Bull Durham
7:33
right okay you know the one guy who is
7:35
like uh the love interest not Kevin
7:37
Costner the other one the pitcher yeah
7:39
for Bull Durham yeah he is in Howard the
7:41
Duck oh really yeah also in yeah also in
7:46
Shawshank Redemption oh that's cool like
7:48
Tim Robbins Tim Robbins is in it
7:52
one day it's part of Marvel Cannon
7:55
surprisingly
7:56
I still haven't seen a gator but I have
7:58
a fun Gator story during one of the most
8:01
recent hurricanes was probably six
8:02
months ago water flooded all through
8:05
here I may have told you this but it
8:07
flooded all through here and the water
8:09
came up to here so I stood at the edge
8:11
of the water like this where my shadow
8:13
is the water was right here and I was
8:16
just like oh look over there I was
8:17
filming over here and I looked out and
8:18
there is a gator right there like right
8:21
there and it startled me it scared the
8:24
living you know what out of me and
8:26
there's another very friendly squirrel
8:28
celebration has the friendliest
8:30
squirrels of anywhere
8:33
look
8:35
how you doing
8:46
oh
8:46
over there look resting on top
8:51
of the Cypress knee look at that perched
8:54
like Daniel's son from Karate Kid
8:58
rock look at that remember if this is
9:01
Miyagi squirrel oh thank you
9:04
Miyagi squirrel
9:10
training's over
9:10
Exon wax off
9:18
we have just found a gator on
9:18
the side of the berm here
9:20
okay is that cool coming up to say hi to
9:23
you
9:25
nah just be careful because they
9:27
sometimes they will run
9:32
the guy oh he's just Sun baby yep
9:35
getting a little Sun
9:38
that might be cool about the size
9:41
about the right size
9:48
but I did not know a lot about I don't
9:48
want to get too close to a gator
9:53
now Savannah was with us Savannah could
9:53
go over there and and
9:56
she would Boop the gator on the nose and
9:58
get Savannah from Gatorland
10:00
but I I keep my distance from Gators
10:03
unless unless she's like showing me
10:05
around Gatorland
10:07
wow we were just saying how there's no
10:10
Gators and look there's this Gator
10:11
sunning itself right here
10:18
all right the Gators are still in
10:18
Celebration
10:28
okay just taking a little nap
10:28
I would imagine most people probably
10:30
aren't going to notice like these bike
10:31
riders probably have no idea there's a
10:33
gator
10:33
right down there
10:47
what was that remember the honey badger
10:47
honey badger don't give a nap I'll give
10:50
it ass walked over to the secondary Lake
10:53
here so this is kind of interesting
10:54
because this is the kind of substance
10:57
that Gators will definitely hide and
10:59
there's a word for it but take a look at
11:01
this there's another
11:03
secondary Loch Ness monster over here
11:05
bubbling up
11:13
there was a movie in the 80s that had
11:13
the
11:14
had the guy from ET in it
11:22
about a creature that lived in the water
11:22
I'm drawing a blank on what the name of
11:23
the movie was we had reminded me I think
11:25
it was the guy for me too
11:27
I can't remember what it was it's called
11:29
The Quest well when I say remember I
11:31
looked it up but also I guess the quest
11:33
had another name called frog dreaming
11:35
which I never always knew it as the
11:37
quest it was also in Cloak and Dagger
11:39
one of my favorite 80s movies with
11:40
Daphne Coleman Love Daphne Coleman
11:43
you know who Daphne Coleman is you ever
11:45
see nine to five yeah he was the he was
11:48
the boss in nine to five oh Dabney
11:50
Coleman that's cool
11:57
what if he's still alive
11:57
I'd like to meet Dabney Coleman
11:59
up he's awake
12:01
going in
12:09
see you later cool
12:09
the Daphne I have decided that every
12:10
gator in celebration it's gonna be like
12:12
Shamu because there's been about 37
12:15
Shamus at SeaWorld yeah so every Gators
12:18
just cool now it's just a vague
12:19
statement for
12:20
celebration Gator okay
12:27
would it be weird if Shamu was in this
12:27
thing
12:28
that would be weird
12:30
yeah that's what like all the bubbles
12:32
are
12:33
this is your first look at this place
12:35
not being called The Magic Castle
12:37
anymore for some reason I thought they
12:39
would keep the name nah it's called
12:41
developer in now developer in Highway
12:50
so thankfully what was it a couple years
12:50
ago you were out here and we were able
12:53
to
12:54
to get a tour around here
12:57
with Chris the writer Christopher gosh
12:59
he gave us a little tour of the Magic
13:02
Castle
13:04
from the Florida project welcome to foes
13:06
Florida project
13:07
well he's in them it's not his movie but
13:09
William Defoe was in it
13:11
and the only thing that I said I was out
13:13
here like three or four months ago when
13:15
they first changed the name
13:16
is the little pavement over here is
13:19
still purple
13:20
although it is
13:26
is it open
13:26
see it still kind of looks like a castle
13:28
though doesn't it
13:30
yeah I mean the purple really helped
13:31
they took down the Magic Castle sign
13:34
there just says developer in I don't
13:37
know if it's open but they took down the
13:39
they took down the fits line there
13:52
update does it have the same effect when
13:52
it's not purple
13:53
yeah it doesn't feel as magical
14:02
oh this still looks the same though kind
14:02
of right here
14:04
so this whole office has been changed
14:06
with the whole interior that has been
14:07
changed right through there there's the
14:09
no harm no foul
14:15
and then the pool over there where she
14:15
was sun in her big oh you know what yep
14:18
the sign still says Magic Castle but
14:20
this is dated back March 24th 2020.
14:30
last time I was here I was kind of
14:30
wondering what happened to the Magic
14:33
Castle sign that was there and if it is
14:35
in one of those little storage units
14:37
over there evident they're still working
14:38
on this though I don't know if it's open
14:40
or not doesn't look like it's open
14:57
and just down the way a bit a bit is
14:57
another developer and it's a developer
14:59
in fundamental development ends are just
15:01
taking over
15:02
everything I remember this used to be
15:04
like the orange hotel now it's called
15:06
stayable
15:07
but here's the Big Orange thankfully did
15:09
not burn down
15:11
and the inside there okay it's been
15:15
you know they got some damage inside
15:16
they're trying to fix up but there
15:18
there's like a bunch of fruit stands off
15:19
right there they're still
15:21
operational at this moment
15:24
most of the damage was around the back
15:25
and inside when I first heard I was out
15:27
of town when the fire happened
15:29
I came by right when I got back into
15:30
town let's check on the update
15:32
but I have assumed if this had burned
15:35
down too but this this is not this right
15:36
here is the kind of this famous mural
15:39
the welcome to Florida take some home
15:42
also seeing the Florida project
15:44
and all the shirts that were five for
15:46
ten are probably
15:48
not for sale right now
15:55
Mimosa damage was around the back
15:55
and they were saying that they're going
15:56
to fix it up and it's going to reopen oh
15:58
they got the tarps up here now they have
16:01
boarded that up since the last time I
16:03
was here
16:05
cleaned it all up around the back
16:19
yeah just peek it in the window they
16:19
have gutted all the merchandise out of
16:21
there and everything so they're starting
16:22
to do a little work in there let's walk
16:24
around the front so they had moved some
16:27
stuff out front here
16:29
some of the stuff that was inside
16:37
actually have one of these I used to use
16:37
this as a map pointer with my Atlas I
16:40
would use this when I do my road trips
16:42
and show the atlas that's pretty good
16:44
that's cute
16:49
that's cool
16:49
wow whole great spoon like a special
16:52
spoon for great Foods look at this you
16:54
stick this in the top of the orange and
16:56
you just like drink orange juice out of
16:58
it oh that's cool
17:00
there's a gator tail how's it going
17:13
Gator chop candy lollipops
17:13
Border Orange gum
17:22
some of their pins out here too
17:22
I've got some pretty interesting items
17:24
here over the years
17:25
oh look at that oh
17:36
so have you have the green one yeah yeah
17:36
the dark green one with the logo
17:39
remember you had one I remember what
17:40
color it was
18:02
what if they saw these bumper stickers
18:02
classic
18:07
a fresh squeeze OJ there really good
18:07
I've had it before
18:10
look at these koozies
18:24
people marmalade look at this Gator
18:24
right here just putting out the vibe
18:30
see you can't go in size there's clothes
18:30
inside fire damage
18:33
okay you see some of the
18:35
fire damage up there too it looks like
18:38
that um female Gremlin oh from Drummonds
18:41
too yeah yeah you guys been here since
18:43
we had the fire they have Stucky stuff
18:46
here I was like a some stuck his pecan
18:48
logs
18:49
Stuckey's brand stuff
18:52
so I was just talking to the guy working
18:54
and he was saying that within the next
18:56
three or four months they were hoping to
18:57
have the inside back opened again
19:01
and he actually let me take a peek
19:03
inside and film in there so they
19:05
probably won the best idea to film
19:06
inside but it's all cleaned up gutted
19:08
out and they're going to start replacing
19:10
the merchandise soon and hopefully in
19:12
the next three or four months we'll have
19:14
a re-grand opening for the inside
19:23
he was also saying started around the
19:23
back it's kind of filling Us in on how
19:24
it all kind of went down
19:26
and they think that maybe someone threw
19:28
something in one of the fruit bins
19:29
around the back and when it happened it
19:31
was during rush hour traffic by the time
19:33
the fire department got here it had
19:35
taken over more than they had hoped to
19:37
but in all reality could have easily
19:39
just you know within a few minutes more
19:42
maybe even an hour more this whole thing
19:44
could have gone up so
19:45
definitely a staple a Highway 192
19:48
roadside attractions
19:50
still here stand strong orange world
19:53
and it's still open now you can still
19:55
come you can still come and buy some of
19:56
the stuff that's out front but they said
19:57
they lost about 90 percent of the
19:58
merchandise inside water damage and fire
20:01
damage I can't tell you the last time I
20:03
was at Old Town it wasn't a Saturday
20:04
night cruise
20:05
definitely a different vibe on a weekday
20:08
when the cruise is not happening it's a
20:11
little more mellow a little less people
20:12
easier to find parking
20:16
but you know all the stores are still
20:17
the same it's just way less classic cars
20:20
driving through here oh you didn't
20:22
realize that really is called the
20:23
vomitron I really thought that you just
20:25
like called it the hack no no the name
20:27
on the side yeah oh my gosh it is called
20:29
the vomitron would you do that no yeah
20:32
and you're pretty daring on
20:34
rollercoaster way more daring on
20:36
coasters than I am yeah and when you say
20:38
you wouldn't do that now that kind of
20:40
gives the tendency on like what how
20:43
horrifying that it's not even running
20:45
right now yeah I'm good I'm good on the
20:48
the vomitable yeah it really is called
20:49
the vomitrons
20:53
v-o-m-a-t-r-o-n the vomitron this is
20:56
more my speed right here this is more my
20:59
speed
21:00
one thing is for sure being out here not
21:03
on a cruise day they do a small cruise
21:05
on Wednesdays do a small cruise on
21:07
Thursday but Saturday I think you're
21:09
Friday
21:10
so a couple days during the week they do
21:12
cruises but today they are not doing one
21:14
but it is just uh yes they're definitely
21:16
very empty out here in comparison and
21:18
it's usually kind of like this all the
21:19
time I would say the Saturday night
21:21
cruises are probably the bulk of their
21:22
business here at Old Town in Kissimmee
21:25
there's some pretty good shots a couple
21:26
of shops there I've got some T-shirts
21:28
out here over the years but I would say
21:30
there's probably maybe a total of 50 50
21:32
people
21:33
maybe 50 or 100 people Tops on the
21:35
entire Tire property the streets are
21:36
completely empty plenty of Elbow Room
21:38
out here at Old Town Kissimmee on a
21:41
weekday
21:43
very mellow and some of these stores I
21:45
can remember being here since as far
21:46
back as I can remember even into the 90s
21:48
through my ex-roommate and I way back in
21:51
the day when we lived in Kissimmee off
21:53
Donegan who would come up here and go to
21:56
Black Market Minerals and just you know
21:58
this is this is before
22:00
I think maybe even before the internet
22:02
was like even really a big thing like
22:03
what do you want to do uh let's uh let's
22:05
go to Old Town go to Black Market
22:07
Minerals and look around yeah just
22:09
bringing back memories of being out here
22:10
it's also interesting that a lot of
22:11
these places still have their signage up
22:13
and if you've been out in public
22:14
recently this really isn't a thing
22:15
anymore also this is the motherlode they
22:19
hit the motherload right here is that
22:21
how you spell mother lode I never
22:23
realized l-o-d-e
22:25
wow all these years I thought it was
22:27
spelled differently than that for the
22:28
motherland
22:29
right yeah I thought it was Loa day
22:33
that's a different that's a different
22:34
load it's kind of interesting when you
22:36
take a step inside which also the stores
22:38
you know definitely like I said there's
22:39
plenty of plenty of Elbow Room inside
22:41
the store as well I saw it was spelled a
22:43
couple different ways and specs it's
22:45
spelled with l-o-a-d by what are the
22:47
employees I guess it could be spelled
22:49
either way there's also a resultant
22:52
resultard machine that looks like a
22:54
pirate as well it's like a very it's
22:55
kind of got the the crazy eyes this
22:57
pirate has the crazy eyes as well crazy
22:59
eyed pirate yeah and then over here this
23:01
is probably the most secretive little
23:03
sign up here it says shirt and shoes and
23:06
something else required but I've even I
23:08
wouldn't even have noticed that if you
23:09
hadn't pointed that out it's like above
23:12
the door way up top I thought maybe it's
23:14
gonna say watch your hip it's a shirt
23:16
and shoes and something else required
23:18
yeah who exactly walked in here without
23:19
their pants on that they had to scribble
23:21
that on there with four exclamation
23:23
points maybe it was the pirate you've
23:27
been to Old Town a few times you could
23:28
probably see someone wandering out here
23:30
without any pants right yeah you know on
23:33
a Saturday oh for sure and I would
23:35
imagine that probably the roller
23:36
coasters here at the end probably are
23:38
not running either I was thinking maybe
23:39
we could go on the roller coaster but I
23:40
don't think anything is running today
23:42
except a ferris wheel back at the other
23:44
end also there is a checkerboarded
23:45
picnic table right here you could play
23:48
uh chess or Checkers on that table
23:50
completely open even play on the seat on
23:53
the seat too extreme game yeah while we
23:55
were in there while we were in Old Town
23:57
we went down the other side of the road
23:58
and there's a place called Morton Manor
24:00
which is a really good
24:01
a haunted house that is only open on
24:04
Wednesday through the weekend
24:06
that we went on
24:08
a couple years ago about a year ago I
24:09
think last time you were here we went on
24:11
we went through more to Manor but even
24:13
though this is only open a few days a
24:15
week or more than Manor haunted house
24:17
walkthrough which is
24:18
pretty good for like Indie hot so good
24:21
but next to it is postmortem which is a
24:24
store that has a lot of haunted stuff in
24:27
it you know masks
24:29
accessories little knickknacks
24:32
and whatnot t-shirts things like that
24:34
you can get inside the postmortem I
24:37
think we're gonna head out of old town
24:38
now and also at The Groovy shop
24:41
there's a nice little shirt here which
24:42
is a pretty good saying on it which
24:47
I'm not going to buy it but definitely
24:47
kind of kind of sums up a lot of
24:50
how to go go with the flow sometimes
24:53
and the most patriotic Checkers in the
24:56
history of existence
24:57
right here with all the flags on it you
24:59
want to appear
25:01
I was hoping to get an angle of the
25:02
vomitron was running but now the moment
25:04
trying to stopped it was just a little
25:06
bit of a tease oh there's people up
25:09
there are people at the top of the
25:11
vomitron yeah I would be uh
25:15
I would probably be soiling myself right
25:17
about that boy
25:25
I mean they're waiting for the other
25:25
side to get let off look at that they're
25:27
moving around now backwards it's a
25:30
vomitron that's where it gets its name
25:35
Tron
25:35
of vomiting I've been on Tron
25:39
but I haven't been on the bond there's a
25:40
golf cart going back with the dog
25:50
yeah but I do love the ferris wheel
25:50
we went on that last time right yeah
25:53
yeah I think we found like a pink one
25:55
we've been on a lot of Ferris wheels in
25:57
Our Deck yeah a lot of fares we've been
25:59
to Fair Ferris wheel fair Ferris wheel
26:03
no correlation or maybe there is
26:06
also have been fairly good fairly good I
26:09
like that and speaking of fair type
26:11
rides there's something similar to like
26:13
the mouse coaster they have the Orange
26:15
County and La Fair and also you can see
26:17
how windy it is right there
26:19
with the uh the breeze it is very very
26:22
windy do you think it's gonna be this
26:23
windy when you landed in Florida no
26:32
it's windy of the last few days the last
26:32
couple days there have been tornado
26:34
watches and warnings for Central Florida
26:35
and the coast oh my gosh yeah
26:38
no tornadoes inside today though which
26:40
is good
26:41
a lot of wind going on in front of this
26:43
BK
26:56
I noticed no one is on the
26:56
Sky swing they're a 300 foot Sky swing
26:58
you know I actually applied for a job
27:00
there once really yep did you go on it I
27:03
in order to get a job this is back in
27:05
the late 90s when it first opened yeah I
27:07
learned that when you work there you
27:09
have to ride it all day whenever there
27:11
isn't anyone on it they want the
27:14
employees to ride it I went up there did
27:16
it one time and was like I'm good oh my
27:19
gosh
27:20
they're really Brave I could never
27:21
really nope yeah it was uh I could
27:23
probably handle it now because I've been
27:25
on some more extreme things but yeah
27:29
it was pretty frightening 300 feet up in
27:31
the air
27:32
and look at that with the Sunburst going
27:33
through the tree the vomitron in full
27:35
effect you know Trot has recently opened
27:37
at Magic Kingdom I wonder if anyone has
27:39
ever vomited on that and if they have is
27:42
there some sort of legality issue
27:45
because now the names are
27:46
interchangeable from one franchise to
27:49
the other who do you think would win
27:50
Disney or Old Town
27:52
for an illegal battle oh Old Town they
27:55
have such a big they do yeah yeah you
27:59
know while we're over here we should go
28:01
look at a screen used prop from a
28:04
Patrick Swayze film Roadhouse
28:06
big fun you ever see Roadhouse yeah I
28:09
love Road House Roadhouse is good Dalton
28:11
you know a lot of people make jokes
28:13
about
28:14
uh Chuck Norris
28:16
but I think as many jokes are probably
28:18
made about Dalton I think Dalton and
28:19
Chuck Norris from Roadhouse could
28:21
probably have a a battle I don't know I
28:23
think maybe Swayze could come out on top
28:25
in some situations I put my money on
28:27
Dalton are you going with full Dalton
28:29
yeah what he did to that guy near the
28:31
lake that's true yeah
28:34
Swayze dog
28:35
I heard Kevin Smith call him the sways
28:38
dog once and now I just call Patrick
28:39
Swayze the Swayze dog all the time
28:41
thanks to Kevin Smith and take a look
28:43
there's a gator down there too that is
28:45
not a real that's almost like Howard the
28:47
Duck not the one from guardians and the
28:50
one from the the old the old timey Leah
28:52
Thompson film but the one that's in the
28:54
lake Reinhardt that's a fake Gator head
28:56
down there oh that's not a real Gator
28:58
look how it just floated I got really
29:00
excited yeah it's actually really kind
29:02
of hard to see even zoomed in on but
29:04
it's just like a floating Gator head
29:11
think that the yeah this isn't even
29:11
running I mean this the geyser is going
29:12
up but this isn't even this isn't even
29:15
running right now
29:16
nor are the go-karts over there nor is
29:22
I'm doing a lot of gnawing yeah
29:26
these aren't either
29:28
nor are those and as I'm heading back to
29:30
the car I'm kind of looking over here at
29:32
this sign where it says escape room says
29:34
Havana kiss liquor store there's Pizza
29:36
Hut on the side I don't even think
29:38
there's a Pizza Hut in this complex I
29:39
always like to point this out when I'm
29:40
over here so when I was in I was in a
29:42
band called TNT punk band back in the
29:44
day
29:44
done a few bands but we would always try
29:47
to well I would always try to book shows
29:49
the most unusual non-venue places and
29:52
this was like a standard like bar or a
29:55
coffee shop or something that was a
29:56
popcorn place and I booked a show here
29:58
and we played over here in the corner
30:01
and we had like a couple hundred people
30:03
like 150 people probably showed up and
30:05
drum set was down there
30:07
and right inside here
30:10
we had a crazy
30:12
group of people were having a little
30:13
circle piss Slam Dancing right here that
30:15
was before those orange walls got put in
30:17
it was a lot bigger place
30:18
and everyone just kind of congregated
30:21
out front back in the band dice
30:24
yeah weird this is probably
30:26
2 000
30:28
and three
30:30
20-year anniversary
30:32
of me playing the bass guitar inside
30:35
what is now the Kissimmee Popcorn
30:37
Company
30:38
standing right here jumping around like
30:40
a fool and motivating a bunch of people
30:44
run into each other slam around
30:49
you know
30:49
Jump Around
30:51
jump up jump up and get us that's house
30:53
of pain but you know what I mean all
30:55
right pulling back into celebration now
30:57
next to the water tower that has no
30:59
water in it
31:00
the reason I know it doesn't have any
31:02
water in it because I saw one time they
31:03
had it down doing some construction over
31:04
there and there was no water in it it's
31:06
just for looks
31:08
but it does look cool
31:09
it's a faux Water Tower
31:12
kind of like Howard the Duck I have
31:13
mentioned Howard the Duck more in this
31:15
video than Howard the Ducks probably
31:16
ever been mentioned in the history of
31:19
the last 20 years
31:23
looks like Beetlejuice if you say his
31:23
name three times in a row he'll appear
31:27
it's always that weird scene the
31:28
original Howard the Duck
31:30
where Howard's like busting through the
31:32
wall and there is a woman duck that
31:34
looks like Howard the Duck bathing in a
31:37
tub scarred me for life okay I drove
31:39
over to a place called celebration Point
31:41
kind of close to the Mickey power pole
31:43
in fact I-4 is behind this building
31:46
so there's going to be two Publix's in
31:48
Celebration by the fake water tower on
31:50
192 is a Publix and there's also this
31:54
Publix there's no one over here now
31:57
but it looks like they are stocked up
31:59
inside well I can't tell I'm just
32:01
assuming that
32:03
but take a look this opens
32:05
this Thursday
32:07
May the 4th at 7 A.M oh yeah I can see
32:09
you there's definitely stock shelves in
32:12
and I'll kind of show it from a distance
32:14
this is a very fancy and cool art deco
32:18
looking Publix
32:20
to go with the art deco 711 and the Art
32:23
Deco Mickey D's
32:25
it's like a celebration thing always
32:27
reminds me of being in Hollywood Studios
32:34
hey here's a farther back to angle look
32:34
at this building
32:44
I don't want to say it reminds me of the
32:44
Edward Scissorhands Publix
32:46
Plaza but it kind of has that vibe in a
32:48
way that same kind of style
33:06
take a look at that
33:06
even a fancy old sign over there I guess
33:08
they're going to have a Walgreens
33:16
UPS Store Great Clips an assortment of
33:16
different things celebration point is
33:18
what they're calling it
33:19
gonna be open soon first thing to open
33:21
is going to be the Publix
33:23
pretty cool and while over in this area
33:25
gonna check out Island village the
33:27
newest Housing Development is
33:29
celebration
33:30
which is coming along pretty fast last
33:32
time I went by here was probably four or
33:34
five months ago and I have heard a lot
33:36
of the homes are done in this area is
33:38
really starting to come along so we're
33:39
going to check out Island village
33:41
this is really kind of sprung up fast
33:43
through here
33:55
different styles of homes
33:55
condos
33:56
Apartments
34:13
living in celebration is like living in
34:13
The Truman Show
34:15
it's very windy out here back over at
34:18
the lakefront now
34:19
the fountain in full effect
34:22
and call this
34:25
magic I should call it magic hour or
34:27
golden hour I guess you could say
34:34
a little silhouetted out over there
34:34
another half hour so the sun will be
34:36
submerged you're still looking for
34:37
Gators
34:39
I was a little friend oh yeah the turtle
34:42
so what we're going to do now is we're
34:43
going to go over to avocados which is
34:45
right next to Starbucks over there next
34:46
to the Celebration Hotel you got the
34:49
diner over there in the corner
34:50
Celebration Town Tavern and then
34:52
avocados off in the distance
34:54
so we're gonna go to avocados we're
34:56
going to enjoy some Mexican food
35:03
inside avocados avocados used to be
35:03
right right next to Starbucks but now
35:05
it's kind of branched off
35:06
it moved over one storefront to a
35:10
different spot than where it was before
35:11
but it's the same same good food they
35:13
just got more tables and stuff out front
35:14
and outside and inside and highly
35:17
recommend it there's quite a few
35:18
restaurants downtown celebration I
35:20
recommend but I would say probably my
35:23
top two or three would be avocados
35:24
Mexican food
35:32
one thing I never noticed or never
35:32
noticed before if you come down closer
35:34
down the steps closer to Lake Reinhardt
35:36
here there are lights on this side over
35:39
there you can also see the spiers of the
35:40
celebration theater kind of shining off
35:43
in the distance
35:44
I think that's going to do it for today
35:47
you got some leftovers I did I'm so
35:50
excited yeah what did you end up getting
35:51
I got a tostada with pulled pork tostada
35:54
with pulled pork I ended up getting a
35:57
grilled chicken burrito
35:59
with that was it rice and beans on the
36:02
inside grilled chicken burrito rice and
36:05
beans that's not something that's on the
36:06
menu grilled chicken is not on the menu
36:07
but if you pay a few extra dollars they
36:09
will Grill some chicken up for you which
36:12
is what I did and I have no idea what
36:14
the calorie count was but I just guessed
36:16
I made it high
36:19
I get what did I put I put 1200 calories
36:21
in the app for the burrito and then I
36:24
put 600 in for the chips and salsa that
36:26
I ate I think I put in 1900 calories
36:28
it's probably a little high I think it's
36:29
a little high but maybe
36:32
either way
36:37
I always like to guess high on that but
36:37
I've still still did not go over my
36:39
calorie count because I did the
36:40
treadmill earlier
36:41
all right that's gonna do it for today
36:42
from Celebration Florida
36:45
with the spiers off in the distance
36:48
with
36:50
Market Street right down below
36:53
I'll see you in the next video
36:55
so we're playing uh
36:57
is someone playing a a jazz instrument
37:00
down I can barely hear it
37:03
a sack
37:04
or like the Crickets The Crickets yeah
37:06
the Crickets and the bugs and the sacks
37:09
maybe it's a Sexy Sax Man remember that
37:11
guy oh my God
37:13

37:18
play a Careless Whisper by Wham
