there's still quite a line of cars
0:48
to get into parking routing everyone
0:51
over here past where the minivans and
0:53
trams
0:54
are parked to this section of the lot
0:57

0:59
proximity to the view of
1:01
spaceship earth and guardians that's the
1:03
guardians building future guardians
1:05

1:20
large
1:21
hat which will shield me from the sun as
1:24

1:48
amount of people i've seen
1:50

2:07

2:09
sombrero
2:10
today i've been wanting to get one of

2:23
today's the day
2:24

2:26
definitely is a lot of people here today
2:28
the line for margaritas is very very
2:30
lengthy already everyone's already a
2:32
little thirsty i can see why it's toasty
2:33
out here they have opened up these doors
2:35
for a secondary margarita area you can
2:37
see test track over there that is
2:38
i've never seen this that door open
2:40
before back there pretty cool
2:42
all right now i'm noticing this is the
2:43
line to get in the pavilion this is the
2:44
line not to like go get a margarita and
2:46
turn around and go out but this takes
2:48
you into the pavilion as well
2:49
through the side entrance take a look at
2:52
that and also tampa j
2:54
has arrived hey guys with an afi shirt
2:56
now do you call it a fire inside or
2:58
asking for it what do you think afi
3:00
stands for i think it's a fire inside
3:02
today is hot so i'm going to say it's a
3:04
fire inside it definitely goes with this
3:05
but
3:06
the band even says sometimes it's asking
3:08
for it and a pond entry
3:09
let me just say the air conditioning in
3:12
here is
3:13
in full effect and i am not complaining
3:15
one bit oh there's a little bit of a cue
3:17
but the ac i'm gonna be in here for
3:19
a little little time soaking in that ac
3:21
because it is
3:22
warm outside and there are a few cases
3:24
here with some some displays
3:26
we got fancy grandma right here we're in
3:29
uh we're in a cap
3:30
we also have a group of skeletons at
3:33
everyday activities
3:35
right over there and the mariachi band
3:37
which i'm hoping
3:38
that mariachi will be performing at some
3:40
place around world showcase
3:42
today as well yeah looking at these
3:44
cases just for waiting in line
3:46
it's always neat kind of looking at some
3:48
of the stuff that you walk past
3:49
very quickly when there isn't a line but
3:51
when there is a line you have time to
3:53
soak in some of the ambiance that is you
3:56
know the decor
3:58
that is around like right over here is
3:59
this coco display
4:01
from the pixar film as well and then
4:04
there's also this little
4:06
item right here in the the mid section
4:08
here
4:09
the two two skeletons there
4:12
right there dress up in their in their
4:14
wedding
4:15
gown and tuxedo pretty neat everlasting
4:19
love
4:20
is the name of it it says the bridal
4:22
couple
4:24
and another display right over here oh
4:27
yeah you can see there
4:28
they're ghosts and they're gonna turn
4:30
you can see the headstone there and then
4:32
is it gonna light back up
4:33
okay no it's just the headstone and then
4:36
you wait a minute and there's like the
4:37
starry night
4:38
and then after the starry night it
4:40
should they should like go back
4:42
and you might see the ghosts appear i
4:45
think that's how it might
4:46
possibly work oh there it goes the
4:47
candles are turning on right now
4:50
candles are turning on and there they
4:51
are they have now appeared
4:53
look at that it's a pretty neat effect
4:56
now this is a
4:57
sugar skull wall with lots of different
4:59
sugar skulls those doors are now closing
5:01
their door or maybe that's one of the
5:03
ghosts that walked out of there the
5:04
doors automatically opened
5:06
and closed it might be part of the
5:07
steaming but i think someone actually
5:08
walked in
5:09
i didn't i didn't catch them walking out
5:11
sugar skull
5:12
wall right over here almost almost about
5:15
time to go in
5:16
almost almost making it in it didn't
5:18
take very long
5:19
thank you he's only like maybe a
5:22
10 minute wait from that lengthy line
5:25
outside
5:26
and we are now going into the plaza
5:29
del los amigos which i love this it is
5:32
night for day so it could be daylight
5:34
outside oh look at a lot of people
5:35
around the fountain there
5:36
yeah there are a lot of there are a lot
5:38
this is what i'm going to be doing i'm
5:39
just going to be kind of
5:40
kind of just in here for the the long
5:43
haul for a good portion
5:44
and i'm going to a sombrero over there
5:46
one of the large caps
5:48
on the other end i'm going to go over
5:50
there and purchase one of those and i
5:51
never
5:52
realized that you can utilize that door
5:54
up top there's a cast member walking out
5:56
of the office up there
5:57
i just thought that was for decoration
5:59
but there really is an
6:01
office up top up there or at least
6:04
something utilized for cast members now
6:07
if you recall the
6:08
the line outside stretches into here the
6:11
lacava del
6:12
tequila at the the sand angel inn so
6:15
that's
6:15
out that door stretches outside into the
6:17
sun and then you peek in through that
6:19
little
6:20
that little hallway out from outdoors
6:22
and into the tequila
6:24
bar now i feel like one of these i need
6:26
to purchase so these are like musical
6:27
instruments so you pick that up like a
6:28
little shaker right
6:29
maracas morocco it's called the maraca
6:32
and you've got are you going to
6:32
demonstrate the maraca i'm gonna rock it
6:34
okay do it
6:35
that's what you do i don't know if i'm
6:37
gonna purchase one of those
6:38
nor will i be purchasing one of these
6:40
today this is not needed
6:42
to keep me warm because it is it's hot
6:45
way too i was just saying that myself
6:47
there's no poncho
6:48
actually no poncho action but i do need
6:50
a cap this is a pretty good one too
6:52
but i feel like i need one i feel like
6:55
bigger is better when it comes to
6:56
caps today i'm gonna go with something
6:59
bigger than this let's just i think
7:00
maybe they might have them in another
7:01
section
7:02
this is this is nice too i don't know if
7:04
i can sport that but that's
7:06
that's that's pretty neat this little
7:08
skull there it's a backpack or a purse
7:10
is that a purse i don't think it's a bad
7:12
guy
7:12
yeah it's a backpack what's the backpack
7:14
yeah
7:16
that's cool i like that that's pretty
7:18
neat it kind of looks like his tongue is
7:19
sticking out
7:20
his tummy sticking out oh it's the
7:21
little zipper it's a zipper tongue
7:24
oh there you go seize the moment
7:27
what i'm doing now this is the area i
7:29
was looking for no not a
7:31
cap that size but a cap this size right
7:35
see how much the price is on this it is
7:39
23.99 so for 24
7:41
that would be i could i could wear that
7:43
around all day and that would be
7:44
definitely
7:45
shielded from the elements i might not
7:47
even need the umbrella i put the
7:49
umbrella in the back pocket
7:50
perhaps see how it kind of looks on top
7:53
yeah i think this could work
7:56
i think this could be work yeah i might
7:59
make my head sweat
8:00
underneath here but i'll be shielding
8:02
myself
8:03
my neck my shoulders and my lower arms
8:06
will be pretty good yeah this is the one
8:08
i need to try something on
8:10
and then not purchase that stuff i'm
8:12
gonna purchase them
8:13
i'm purchasing them yeah even the line
8:15
for the boat ride is
8:17
rather lengthy i was just told something

8:55
necessary
8:56

8:58
the day to do so
9:00
all right some people celebrate by
9:02
wearing by drinking tequila
9:03
i purchased some rare this is a pretty
9:05
nice tervis tumbler here i like turvis

of these you got small
9:24
medium having a pee-wee's big adventure
9:26
moment and
9:27
large very very large to medium size
9:31
would be more
9:32
my speed if i was going to purchase one
9:33
of these is like a paperweight or
9:35
something to go on a shelf one thing i
9:36
did not take into account
9:38
i did not take into account that this is
9:40
very heavy
9:41
it's weighted down so i'm gonna i'm
9:43
gonna have some necklaces
9:45
are gonna be straightened and it's
9:47
starting to get warm underneath here so
9:49
maybe i could
9:50
just teeter it like that so i get some
9:52
air underneath here
9:53
but yeah this is this thing weighs a
9:56
little bit a pound
9:57
or two maybe more next to this case with
9:59
the puppet on the strings there are some
10:02
ears as well and there's also
10:05
some little i don't know what that is
10:07
that would be like an ornament of some
10:08
sort and some mugs
10:10
and even well other cups those are not
10:12
tervus but
10:14
other mugs i did last minute trying to
10:15
get a reservation for
10:17
san angel inn but could not procure a
10:20
reservation and the walk-up window
10:22
as i would have assumed is is all filled
10:24
up as well so
10:26
no go on eating next to the the water
10:28
here hitting a water table
10:29
and looking at the pyramid so i'm about
10:31
to get something from one of the
10:33
the quick service outside inside this
10:35
little shop kind of tucked away in the
10:36
corner
10:37
are these items that are i think it was
10:39
32
10:40
yeah 32 there didn't really focus in
10:43
time but
10:44
32 you get one of these items one of
10:47
these parrots here there's also even
10:48
some smaller parrots
10:50
over there and not only a scorpion down
10:52
here but a large flamingo
10:55
over there in that display and you know
10:57
what i don't think i've ever really
10:58
perused around
11:00
the shelves in here before i'm always
11:02
kind of in a hurry to get on the boat
11:04
ride and then head out
11:05
yeah pretty neat they also have some
11:06
blankets over there and it's just right
11:08
over here
11:09
next to the entry of the boat ride and
11:11
if you go back into here you can see
11:14
yeah go back out into the night time now
11:16
see this hat
11:17
ended up hitting out to duck my head
11:19
walking out of this store
11:21
right here fine jewelry and accessories
11:24
this is fantastic in here kind of
11:26
reminds me of
11:27
the area of pirates of the caribbean in
11:30
anaheim
11:30
where it's a night for day or day for
11:32
night now usually when you go to the
11:34
gift shops here on property
11:36
and you see a glass like this that you
11:38
know you know obviously know what that
11:40
is used for
11:41
but if you go to like you know disney
11:42
springs or any of those places it'll
11:44
stay on the shelf of price
11:45
and it'll say toothpick holder yep
11:48
that's what those are toothpick holders
11:49
and this is kind of peeking outside
11:50
where that line starts let's see now
11:52
that is a medium-sized
11:55
sombrero maybe i should have got the
11:56
medium size see i should have gone with
11:58
that that size i got the large size
12:00
didn't really
12:00
sing yet i didn't realize how heavy this
12:03
thing this is a horrible idea
12:04
happy cinco de mayo
12:10
i asked a couple cast members how many
12:10
of these they sell they said
12:11
quite a few especially on this day
12:13
people will buy them and
12:14
celebrate the holidays say it's a time
12:16

12:18

16:27
yeah there's a whole section there that
16:28
says food they have tacos they have
16:30
empanadas and they have tostadas
16:33
my hat almost overshadows the pyramid
16:37
this pyramid is a good size but the
16:41
perspective
16:42
of my hat kind of overshadows the
16:45
pyramid a little bit
16:47
yeah take a look at that oh there we go
16:49

17:36
while i'm consuming them
17:46
yeah this hat is big it's a big hat take
17:46

17:47
that's what they call 10 gallon
17:54

17:54
going to have a little kick to it what's
17:55
the
17:56
flavoring they have on the corn it's
17:58
called uh there's this little little
18:00
spice
18:02

18:04
that's got some kick too it's really
18:05
good
18:05
it's tasty i definitely got to go back
18:08
over and get on the grand fiesta tour
18:10
this reminded me yeah i got to get on
18:11
the boat ride and of course in their
18:13
topiary form the three caballeros good
18:15
to see you fellas
18:16
and after a full belly gonna head back
18:18
into the pavilion
18:19
and go on the boat ride and once again
18:22
the ac
18:23
in here after being outside is very very
18:25
nice no complaints about waiting in this
18:27
line
18:28
none at all once i'm inside outside
18:30
different stores
18:39
and just like that back inside
18:45
lost my train of thought for a moment
18:45
because i got so distracted of how
18:47
amazing this looks
18:49
the way it looks like it's it's
18:51
nighttime and it feels like it's
18:52
nighttime
18:53
no sun anywhere
19:01
and now getting in line getting in the
19:01
queue it's a little backed up this is
19:02
the extended queue
19:03
but it'll probably move pretty quickly
19:05
it always moves fast i don't really need
19:07
to have this on in here
19:08
because there's no sun permeating my
19:11
noggin
19:12
however it just feels that i need to
19:14
have it on in here it feels like this
19:16
is what i should be wearing this is
19:18
where i purchased it
19:20
moving forward just a little bit now
19:21
slow going
19:23
we're about to go into the area that
19:24
reminds me of a fun house because the
19:26
the queue is condensed by the pieces of
19:29
plastic so it's like you're going into a
19:31
fun house
19:32
of some sort i'll show you what i mean
19:34
yeah he's got the
19:35
little fire there doing a little glass
19:37
blowing i wonder what he's creating
19:40
i think it's a it's a mickey mouse i see
19:42
some ears on there i feel like a hidden
19:44
mickey made of glass
19:51
oh yeah it is a mickey or maybe it's a
19:51
heart it could be a heart it looks like
19:53
a frog
19:54
it looks like a frog it looks like a
19:56
frog okay it's not mickey it's not a hit
19:58
mickey it's a frog it's going to be
19:59
going right past that pyramid
20:01
very very soon once we're on the boat
20:11
whoa this is a tight squeeze through
20:14
i think i made it i'm going to make it
20:14
though because they got the the plexi on
20:17
either side or
20:18
sexy here complexity here i only have
20:20
maybe a an
20:21
inch of leeway on either side there
20:24
it's kind of like oh it's like oh it's
20:25
kind of like it's going to
20:27
slow down it's like making my neck
20:29
bounce around i just realized there's
20:31
oh there's a lamp right here look how
20:33
close that is
20:35
and it's like i can't turn my head i'm
20:37
trying to turn this way to look what's
20:38
over there and i can't
20:48
which one of the three caballeros would
20:50
you say i most like if you had to
20:52
choose donald jose
20:55
or panchito jose jose i'm going to say
20:59
jose
20:59
i'm more like it's the expression is he
21:02
my spirit him
21:05
all right now going by the pyramid we
21:07
are on
21:08
the water looking back to where i was
21:10
just standing
21:11
and i still have my sombrero on
21:14
at this very moment so i wear this
21:17
throughout the entire course of the ride
21:20
i think i should and look up there at
21:22
the volcano that some say a hidden
21:24
mickey
21:24
is emitted by the smoke out of the top
21:27
of the volcano stack
21:29
it's very difficult to see it you have
21:31
to look very closely
21:36
i just illuminated myself again with my
21:36
phone definitely a fun ride i do recall
21:39
back in the day before it was the
21:40
overlay of the three cable heroes i have
21:42
to say probably my favorite portion of
21:43
this
21:44
is the section that reminds me of it's a
21:46
small world very
21:47
very small small world style with this
21:50
room
21:51
as you kind of go through and underneath
21:52
the archway with the animatronics kind
21:54
of gives me that
21:56
that vibe of magic kingdom the mary
21:58
blair vibe
21:59
you know in its own roundabout way and
22:02
then you continue on
22:03
and this little section through here
22:04
where the mariachi band is performing
22:06
back in the day used to be like a flea
22:08
market where they were trying to sell
22:10
you things that would walk along
22:12
through here and right over in this area
22:14
is the only portion now currently during
22:16
current situation where you can see any
22:18
sort of fireworks even though they are
22:20
fake fireworks
22:21
they are up at the sky right there with
22:22
the banner panning down from the banner
22:25
they have omitted and are trying either
22:27
fixing or have removed
22:28
the animatronics the animatronics are
22:30
gone and now there are only
22:33
just these cardboard wooden cutouts
22:36
of the three cable heroes very
22:38
interesting and obviously i did a little
22:40
little overlay there with the narration
22:42
oh hello
22:46
oh here's a good one right here this has
22:46
the three cowboy arrows on it they also
22:48
sell
22:49
vanilla flavoring here and then he's got
22:52
a lasso
22:52
and a sombrero there as well and some
22:55
some drums down here also
22:58
plenty of gifts around here that you can
22:59
purchase there has been a lot of talk
23:01
about making that ride
23:02
coco themed and i for one think it would
23:05
be a good idea
23:06
to change it to cocoa you know i think
23:08
it definitely could use a little tlc
23:11
and a little love and you know it it
23:12
would be good if they put something else
23:14
in there unless i love three cabbage
23:16
arrows
23:16
i would not be opposed to something new
23:18
in fact in the past i did see some
23:21
cable heroes merchandise but i don't see
23:23
any more
23:25
three caballeros merchandise over here
23:27
but there is some some cocoa merch
23:29
interesting it seems like most folks
23:32
that are here do not want to leave
23:34
this particular area because it is so
23:36
toasty and warm outside
23:38
they're just staying inside the ac and i
23:41
can for one
23:42
cannot cannot blame them
23:45
the fountain seems to be like a pretty
23:47
popular spot
23:48
but i'm gonna head out i've enjoyed
23:50
cinco de mayo at epcot center
23:52
it has been fun i think the hat really
23:55
added to the ambiance
23:57
today it helps shield shield my head
24:00
and the elements next time i'm going to
24:03
get the smaller one
24:09
next time next year or i can save this
24:09
for next year
24:10
wear this next year might do that see
24:13
what happens
24:14
up there i go i'm waving now there's my
24:16
shadow you see the hat
24:17
there we go i'm getting the shadow
24:19
perspective someone just walked on my
24:21
shadow
24:22
that's gonna do it for today from myself
24:26
and my shadow i would like to say the
24:29
vlog
24:30
little hat tip is over
