Tikj wearing an appropriate t-shirt.
0:10
What is today, Jay?
0:12
>> July 17th.
0:13
>> But what else?
0:14
>> It is Disneyland's birthday. And we're
0:17
here to enjoy the park.
0:18
>> 70 years open today. Leaving the hotel
0:22
room, heading down. I'm inviting you to
0:25
join me.
0:28
Shall you? Oh, you shall. You will.
0:31
>> Thought we had it all figured out. We
0:33
opened the world clock on Jay's phone.
0:35
Down to the millisecond. Fingers were
0:38
moving quick. Was not able to get a
0:42
virtual cue for the new Walt animatronic
0:44
show. It's happening in the Lincoln
0:45
Theater. Virtual queue was closed.
0:48
Immediately,
0:50
>> instantaneously.
0:51
>> Instantaneously. I mean, it was a
0:53
millisecond.
0:55
Clicked it. Virtual queue. We'll try
0:57
again at noon.
0:59
Even though you're wearing the Walt
1:00
shirt, it didn't help.
1:01
>> It did not bring us any luck whatsoever.
1:04
>> We can't be the only ones not getting in
1:05
there. There might be a couple others.
1:08
>> We'll find them.
1:09
>> So early. In fact, we got the sidewalk
1:13
Zamboni out cleaning. Going to head
1:15
through Downtown Disney. Grab a mobile
1:17
order Starbucks. Hop in the park for
1:20
rope drop. Rope drops at 8. Picked up my
1:22
shirt yesterday, which has the date on
1:24
it. July 17th. That was 70 years ago. I
1:27
don't know why I slapped your shoulder
1:29
that all right. I'm honestly kind of
1:30
confused. There's a line that stretches
1:32
all the way back over here by the
1:33
current Earl Sandwich and then goes all
1:35
the way into the Espanob. But I don't
1:37
know if it's like one line, a single
1:38
file line, or if you're supposed to cut
1:41
into the esot. Maybe they cut in the es
1:42
line and find a different line. This
1:43
might be I don't know. There's really
1:46
not a lot of organization. So, I'm kind
1:47
of confused. This is wild. And perfect
1:50
timing. Check it out over there. There
1:52
goes the Disneyland 70th Montreal Park
1:58
is full. Reservations are full. Tickets
2:00
are sold out. Well, I'm guessing because
2:01
there's no one in the ticket line. And
2:02
look at the esplanade right here. Look
2:04
at this. Time right now. 7:40 p.m. Rope
2:08
drops at 8:00. The gates are open. But
2:10
look at this mad house. All right.
2:11
Evidently, this line stretches all the
2:13
way around here, connects with DCA, and
2:16
then runs all the way that way. That's
2:19
the line to get into this line. Right.
2:21
This line kind of goes, we're in this
2:23
line going that way and we're going to
2:24
veer off like a fork in the road to the
2:26
left or to the right. And we can choose
2:28
which line to get in to go this
2:29
direction. So when we get to that point,
2:31
we'll decide what the fork in the road.
2:33
All right, I stand corrected. So we have
2:34
to go that direction. This line goes
2:37
that way and then warps around that
2:39
direction. Okay. So there is no fork.
2:41
It's just
2:43
something.
2:45
Wow. I don't know. This is wild.
2:50
I'm here for it though. It's part of the
2:51
experience.
2:52
>> Yeah, we're here. We were here.
2:54
>> I'm here for it. To the preliminary
2:56
line. Shifting now. We're getting in the
2:58
first official line. I don't think we're
3:00
going to make the 8:00 rope drop, which
3:02
is also a little disappointing, but it's
3:04
all good. It's all good. I guess at 1 or
3:07
1:30 they're going to have the official
3:10
70th anniversary parade.
3:17
So, we got we got we got time before the
3:17
first first festivities officially
3:19
begins. So, we're good. But this is this
3:21
is nuts.
3:23
Oh, let's call it three about to 2
3:25
minutes to rope drop and we we're going
3:28
to be we might be in the park for rope
3:29
drop. Man, we're going to have to we're
3:31
going to have to really hurry to get
3:32
over there. Have to hurry and scurry and
3:36
be a little furry. We might not make it
3:37
on the main street, but we're going to
3:38
be in the gates in the park. going to be
3:40
in the gates at 8:00 a.m. Just like Walt
3:43
wanted.
3:44
>> He wanted us to be there today.
3:46
>> All right, walking in 1 minute until
3:48
8:00 a.m. Time to celebrate.
3:51
>> Happy rope drop officially happened
3:54
here. Leave the world today and enter
3:55
the world of yesterday, tomorrow in
3:56
fantasy. Let's get in here. Officially
3:58
in. Rope drop is happening. Look at this
4:02
madness. This is officially 8:01 a.m. be
4:06
walking right down the middle of Main
4:08
Street USA very shortly. All the cast
4:11
members out giving their Mickey high
4:13
fives, etc. Let's take a look down here
4:16
at the castle and the insanity
4:20
of 70th anniversary of Walt's original
4:23
Magic Kingdom. Doesn't get any better
4:27
than this in this place on this day.
4:30
This is awesome.
4:36
This is cool, man.
4:39
I think the move maybe is to go to Small
4:40
World first cuz that line's going to get
4:42
really wild. Yeah, the new verse on
4:44
Small World, right? Also the Main Street
4:47
Cinema Phillip. All right, trying to
4:49
make my way through the throngs here.
5:02
>> Thank you.
5:02
Thank you. Good morning.
5:03
>> Thank you. You too.
5:05
>> Anniversary, birthday
5:08
one.
5:08
>> How are you?
5:09
>> Hey, how you doing?
5:11
>> Oh, this is great. Oh, look. There's
5:13
Walt over here. Here's a look over here.
5:16
Right here.
5:18
>> Very cool.
5:20
>> Hello, Walt.
5:22
>> Good morning, sir.
5:23
>> Look at this. I see I see you right
5:24
here. And there's a version of Walt
5:26
right in front of me. I love it.
5:28
>> Spinning image.
5:29
>> Yes. Look at that. All
5:32
right. Happy birthday. Happy
5:34
anniversary.
5:35
>> Welcome.
5:37
>> I didn't think I'd see a Walt already.
5:40
We just saw a Walt.
5:41
>> Hello.
5:42
>> Good morning.
5:42
>> Happy 70th.
5:44
>> Happy.
5:46
>> So, yeah, I got the the guide book. And
5:48
then I also got this right here, which
5:51
is a for posterity a date stamped button
5:54
right here, which is nice. Thank you.
5:59
Dude, this is cool. So glad we made it
6:02
in for rope drop. Man, we would have
6:03
missed this by 10 minutes.
6:05
>> Oh, this guy's got your Walt shirt on
6:07
over here, too.
6:08
>> What?
6:08
>> Look, there's a Q- line for the porch.
6:14
>> So, what do you think? The moves go to
6:14
to Small World first
6:16
>> right now. Let's do it. Hello.
6:23
Awesome. Hello. Happy 70th.
6:26
>> Oh, this is so cool.
6:29
Very cool.
6:35
>> Decided to go ahead and jump in the
6:35
small world line really quick like cuz
6:36
this is going to turn into really really
6:38
busy a little bit later. So jumping in
6:40
the short line 15 minutes. So basically
6:41
on small world the new verses in the
6:44
very very last scene and it was
6:46
distinctly different with the with the
6:48
verse. I'm just kind of showing a little
6:50
bit of the other stuff. Obviously, I
6:51
can't play the music because of the
6:53
Sherman Brothers song
6:55
at the the kind of one that gets stuck
6:57
stuck in your head for stuck in your
6:58
head forever. And I'm sure the last
7:00
scene will also be one that we'll learn
7:02
over time. Definitely completely new
7:03
lyrics and it seemed like there was even
7:05
like backing vocals on the on the very
7:08
last scene, but we were looking at the
7:10
wait times and wasn't really too busy
7:12
over Jungle Cruise wasn't too busy yet.
7:13
Pirates wasn't too busy yet. Haunted
7:15
Mansion wasn't too busy yet. So, going
7:17
to look now at the guide map here and
7:20
show the special edition guide map. Got
7:22
that shirt yesterday. They have some
7:24
different stuff. The upside down sundae.
7:26
Was it Stranger Things? Celebration
7:29
Matterhorn Macaroon. Check the
7:31
Disneyland app for the c the the
7:33
celebrate happy cavalcade.
7:36
And then they're going to have
7:39
Well, you got Walt's name tag there.
7:41
Marceline, Missouri. Here's a layout of
7:43
the land. Rolling all the TV equipment
7:46
out. Is this the jungle jungle tours
7:49
here?
7:49
>> Oh, absolutely. We offer them for free
7:51
or your money backwards.
7:52
>> Okay. What were you saying you do with
7:54
the sign? What What's the move with the
7:55
sign?
7:56
>> Now to go to a friend of mine. I hold it
7:58
forwards. I hold it backwards. I hold it
8:01
upside down. And then I do a
8:02
loop-de-loop.
8:03
>> Greg is here for his first time. Greg's
8:05
game room. Check out my shirt. What's
8:07
your uh what's your first impression of
8:08
Disneyland being a Disney World guy? It
8:10
It feels very solid.
8:12
>> Solid.
8:13
>> Yes. Like they like they really know
8:14
what they're doing here.
8:15
>> Yeah.
8:23
>> Met a very nice family and they gave me
8:24
a Walt friendship bracelet. Look at
8:26
that. That's so nice.
8:29
But that does remind me. Please be
8:31
careful the next time you shower because
8:33
last time last time I was turned into an
8:35
elephant world. That's right. I'm
8:37
talking about the one and only backside
8:40
of water.
8:43
O2
8:50
down on this part.
8:50
>> Yeah, man.
8:52
>> All right. Now, over to pirates. Walt
8:54
was a big fan of piracy. You soaking it
8:57
in.
8:57
>> Yeah, man. So, the cool thing I like
8:59
about this wall when he was announcing
9:01
this was talking about how you're going
9:03
to go up in the waterfall to exit. How
9:05
magical would that be to go up a
9:07
waterfall?
9:09
>> Really? Yes. The very end. Okay. You
9:11
hear Walt say it. You're like, "You know
9:13
what? If you can go up a waterfall,
9:16
you just believe everything."
9:18
>> Well, it's Disney magic. Disney.
9:20
>> What do you think of Jungle Cruise?
9:22
>> It was nice. I liked it. Um,
9:24
>> as I was saying, you know, back in the
9:25
day, I had a view master and it had the
9:27
little disc, right? And I used to watch
9:29
all those uh scenes from Disneyland. And
9:32
the one that I remember the most is the
9:34
elephant under the waterfall when he's
9:36
like doing the little trunk thing. When
9:37
I was running down Main Street past the
9:39
castle, a very nice gentleman said,
9:41
"Hey, I have a Splash Mountain Disney
9:42
dollar. Happy 70th. I do not have a
9:45
Splash Mountain Disney dollar." So,
9:48
shout out to the very nice guy who was
9:49
like, "Would you like a Splash Mountain
9:51
Disney dollar?" Heading into an eye. Oh,
9:52
there's an there's an alligator right
9:54
there. Look at that.
9:56
I don't know if I've ever noticed that
9:58
alligator before. And this looks like
9:59
one of the Mike Fink boats they used to
10:01
have around rivers going into the bayou
10:03
and pirates.
10:13
>> Double drop 21 royale.
10:13
>> You call it royal or royale?
10:15
>> Royale
10:16
>> with cheese.
10:17
>> With cheese.
10:19
>> I had one of those recently.
10:20
>> How good was it?
10:21
>> It was amazing.
10:23
This is
10:23
>> mint jewel bar.
10:30
>> Let's cheers it up. Let's get the uh the
10:30
four-way. Cheers here.
10:31
>> Cheers.
10:33
>> Are you going with the uh passion fruit?
10:35
>> I'm full of passion right now, babe.
10:36
>> To the Haunted Mansion. It's no longer a
10:39
walk on 13 minutes, but 30 minutes, not
10:42
too bad to go on the original, the
10:45
Haunted
10:47
Mansion.
10:53
That is not good. All right, the day is
10:57
starting to get a little more busy. This
10:58
is the line for Pirates now. It
11:01
stretches all the way back through New
11:03
Orleans Square. So, it's definitely
11:04
starting to fill up. Fill up quite a bit
11:06
and goes up over the bridge, maybe. I
11:08
can't tell, but there's definitely a lot
11:10
of people here waiting in line for
11:11
Pirates. So, hitting a lot of stuff
11:12
early.
11:13
>> What are you in What are you in line
11:15
for?
11:15
>> It's that ride where they, you know,
11:18
they they've got alligators.
11:21
They're just on the side and they're
11:22
just sleeping and that's more
11:24
comfortable than than I don't cope with
11:27
that at a jungle cruise action where my
11:29
jungle brother used to be. Uh-huh. He
11:31
had to deal with the monkeys and the
11:33
monkeys sometimes they don't smell good.
11:38
You'd think they didn't costume me and
11:39
they say, "Okay, monkey, you're going to
11:41
have to use some deodorant." They don't
11:43
they don't they don't they don't have
11:44
the lines from that. No,
11:46
>> that's back in the day, gentlemen. guy
11:48

16:39
We had to get Walt chili. The only way
16:41
they sell it is in a bread bowl.
16:43
>> That's what they tell me.
16:44
>> Or a hot dog. And very rarely does this
16:47
happen at Disneyland because usually you
16:48
can find seats, but today is so busy
16:50
we're having to go full Epcot Food and
16:52
Wine Festival.
16:55
>> I came all the way to Disneyland to eat
16:57
on a trash can.
17:06
>> 70th Rice Krispie treat.
17:06
Heading down to the train station is
17:08
going to be uh
17:10
it's going to be something. This is
17:11
really bottlenecking through here.
17:18
Look at this guy up here with the pri.
17:18
Aren't you supposed to be on the bench
17:20
over there? This the bench is taken
17:23
right there. Hey Bricky. Hey Bricky.
17:31
This is Disneyland. We want to welcome
17:34
some very special guests. Please help me
17:36
to welcome we've got some original cast
17:38
members from 1955 hired by Walt himself
17:41
Tom and Bob.
17:47
Disneyland.
18:13
We ended up trying to find a spot and it
18:13
was roaming around in front of the Main
18:15
Street Cinema and ended up
18:18
finding Justin who was hanging out with
18:20
Tony Baxter and a couple other friends,
18:22
Jimmy and some of his family and they
18:24
were like, "Oh, just stand here with
18:25
us." So, I ended up watching the parade
18:27
and the cavalcade and all the
18:28
announcements with one of my favorite
18:30
Imagineers, Tony Baxter,
18:36
>> who is known for doing a lot of things.
18:36
He was the reason Figment exists. Star
18:38
Tours exists.
18:40
>> Big Thunder Mountain. All the Big
18:41
Thunder Mountains. This gentleman has
18:42
been on Radiator Springs Racers 1,
18:45
>> 14,83
18:48
times
18:49
>> and counting
18:50
>> every day at rope drop. You're you go
18:52
with Radiator Springs Racers. Magic
18:53
Journeys is in here. What are you in
18:55
line for?
18:55
>> In line for a balloon.
18:57
>> A balloon. Oh, it's like a special Is it
19:00
It's not a real balloon. It's like a
19:01
snack balloon some kind.
19:02
>> I think so. Yeah.
19:03
>> But do you put like popcorn in it or
19:05
>> No, but that would have been cool
19:07
because Just a cute balloon.
19:08
>> Yes, this is the balloon. And it really
19:10
is in fact a balloon. It's not a popcorn
19:12
bucket.
19:18
>> Well, I like this one. I like these
19:18
where you're all facing the same
19:20
direction.
19:22
>> I can't hear it from way down here, but
19:23
we're parked over here at the New
19:25
Orleans Square station. And usually they
19:27
have the Walt speech playing over here
19:29
on the uh was it Morse code? What do
19:30
they call that? Morse code and a little
19:33
tapping over there. I don't hear it from
19:35
here. All right. on the shrines. This is
19:37
my favorite part of the Rivers of
19:39
America. You got the canoe down there.
19:42
Oh, we still got to do the
19:44
Oh, the Colombia is right over here. The
19:46
Golden Horseshoe opens at 400 p.m. They
19:48
had a special event earlier, but they
19:50
have these special cheeseburger fries,
19:53
which are inspired by when the Golden
19:55
Horseshoe first opened, they used to
19:57
sell cheeseburgers and fries. It's kind
19:59
of a deconstructed version, a throwback.
20:01
One day only inside the Golden
20:03
Horseshoes. Here it is. Cowboy fries.
20:06
Fries, nacho cheese, salt, ground beef,
20:10
burger sauce, and butter pickles. That
20:13
is a Shirley Temple. That is a Roy
20:16
Rogers.
20:16
>> Diet Roy.
20:17
>> A diet Roy Rogers.
20:18
>> I got Diet Coke versus Roy Temple.
20:20
>> Okay. And this is a probably sugar film
20:24
>> Shirley Temple right here. I like how
20:26
beautiful this Shirley Temple is
20:28
compared to the Mint Julip, which
20:29
they've kind of kind of slacked on a
20:31
little bit.
20:32
>> Liz, you want a pickle? I think the New
20:34
York
20:41
was filling up. It didn't open till 4.
20:41
They were having some kind of special
20:42
event in here. But now word is out that
20:45
the deconstructed cheeseburger is
20:47
available. Here we go. Oh, there it is.
20:49
>> The steam whistle.
20:52
>> Let's go. There's Jack Sparrow over
20:54
there. Way up there. There's Jack
20:56
Sparrow way up there on the Pirates
20:58
ledge.
21:00
Hello. Jacob is not convinced that the
21:02
canoes are real canoes.
21:05
>> Yeah. So like there was when I rode at
21:07
one point they were like they're like
21:09
you guys can take a rest from paddling
21:11
>> and like the boat was the canoe was
21:12
still going.
21:13
>> The cast members are doing all the work.
21:14
>> So there's two people can move the whole
21:15
thing.
21:16
>> You're thinking you're thinking that
21:17
it's a it's like on a track like the
21:19
river boat
21:20
>> or maybe like a rope or something.
21:22
>> Really? That's a I've never ever heard
21:23
anyone kind of throw that uh that
21:25
narrative out there before.
21:26
>> I don't want to start any conspiracy
21:28
theories. I think you need to make a new
21:29
t-shirt that says I don't believe in
21:30
canoes.
21:31
>> I mean, I believe
21:31
>> I would buy that.
21:32
>> I believe that canoes exist.
21:33
>> No, no, you don't believe.
21:34
>> I just don't believe in that canoe.
21:36
>> I don't think you believe in canoes.
21:37
>> It's okay. You're a canoe atheist.
21:40
>> Canutheist.
21:41
>> So, evidently there is a new doehip
21:43
flavor, like a peach, which I'm not
21:44
really a big peach flavoring kind of
21:47
guy, but there's a peach flavored dole
21:49
whip over at Tropical Hideway, which is
21:50
the and dolehip spot behind Tiki Room.
21:54
But look at this freaking line. Look at
21:57
a pineapple upside down
22:00
as well.
22:00
>> A pineapple upside down.
22:03
>> Maybe that's why the line's so long.
22:05
>> It's the cup.
22:07
>> Oh, it's the cup.
22:07
>> Yeah. I kept walking by and I was like,
22:09
what the heck this is? It's a plastic
22:11
cup.
22:11
>> Everybody want Everybody.
22:13
>> Everybody wants the cup. That's what it
22:15
is.
22:16
>> All right. Thank you, man. And I saw
22:18
Tony Baxter earlier, but check out
22:21
Disney legend Bob Gurr right there,
22:24
responsible for building the Matter Horn
22:26
right up there. And pretty much every
22:28
ride vehicle that Disneyland has, the
22:30
Montreal, the Doom Bucky, Mr. Toad's
22:33
Wild Ride car.
22:45
>> I get to ride the fire.
22:54
All right.
23:37
making his way right down Main Street
23:38
USA.
23:40
>> I love that. That's so cool. That's so
23:42
cool. Dang, he's coming back down the
23:44
other way down Main Street USA. One way
23:48
to the other. Is he standing up? He's
23:50
standing up.
23:59
Watch out. Careful.
23:59
>> Man, mom's a maniac.
24:09
>> I only break the rules.
24:09
>> Keep all hands, arms, feet, and legs
24:11
inside the vehicle.
24:19
>> Oh, perfect. Train coming into the
24:21
station right over there in the queue to
24:24
head in past the Disney Anna store.
24:26
Going to go inside the great Moses or
24:28
Lincoln building and see the Walt
24:30
animatronics. This is the new sign here
24:32
here at the Disneyland Opera House.
24:34
Presents Walt Disney, a magical life on
24:37
stage.
24:38
Heading in now.
24:41
Disneyland also has a gallery here
24:43
presenting the 70th evolution of a dream
24:46
featuring barely seen artwork from Walt
24:48
of Disney. And in my corridor of goons
24:51
nerd room, I have this a canvas photo of
24:54
Walts walking through the castle. Moving
24:57
our way in now. Moving our way in.
25:05
This is cool. Cool exhibit in here. Oh,
25:05
what is this? Oh, look at this. A
25:07
recreation of the apartment at the fire
25:08
station. the firehouse. There's the lamp
25:11
that's eternally on the animatronics
25:13
here from Small World.
25:44
go down as far as we can on the third
25:44
row back kind of in the middle.
25:48
>> They're going to probably make us all go
25:49
down to the end, but we're This is a
25:50
good spot. We're right in the middle.
26:00
Now, from Mickey Mouse to motion
26:00
pictures, television to art parks, Walt
26:04
Disney's vision and risktaking has
26:07
brought a lifetime of entertainment
26:09
really to the entire world.
26:13
Now, this tribute
26:15
is composed with his own words taken
26:19
from recordings from interviews during
26:22
his story careers. Now, some of the
26:25
recordings vary in quality quality, but
26:28
I think you'll agree that
26:31
they provide a excellent representation
26:35
of his remarkable life. Now, with an
26:40
introduction from Bob Iger, our chief
26:42
exe executive officer of the Walt Disney
26:45
Company, we proudly present Walt Disney
26:49
a magical life.
26:50
>> It was decent. I I don't want to say I
26:51
was blown away by it. I didn't really I
26:53
don't think I loved it, but I definitely
26:55
didn't dislike it. It was just kind of
26:58
It was just kind of there. I'm happy
27:00
that Definitely happy that Walt is in
27:02
the park again.
27:05
Or well, Walt is, you know, an
27:07
animatronic version of Walt is what I
27:08
should say. I guess, you know, Walt has
27:11
always been in the park.
27:22
>> Yeah. I got to let just let it sink in.
27:22
I probably have to go I probably have to
27:23
go on that a couple times, but I wasn't
27:26
definitely was not blown away by it.
27:29
Also, the pre-show was basically a
27:32
chopped up version of the the
27:37
movie over at Hollywood Studios.
27:42
Over in the theater Hollywood Studios,
27:45
the one that Julie Andrews narrates,
27:48
they had Bob Iger doing the same
27:52
the same dialogue from the Julie Andrew
27:54
spiel,
27:55
but it's Bob Iger reading reading it as
27:57
well. They chopped it up a little bit.
28:01
Of
28:01
>> course, have a great day.
28:01
>> And then they the wall comes out for
28:03
like a couple minutes standing in front
28:05
of his desk telling, you know, giving
28:06
some stories, telling some things. It
28:08
was definitely It was good. It was good.
28:10
I wouldn't say it was great, but it was
28:12
good. All right, Justin, what do you
28:14
think?
28:16
>> I came last night. I saw the preview,
28:18
like a little Club 33 preview someone
28:19
invited me to, and I was just like you
28:21
were coming out of there where I was
28:22
like, I don't know exactly what I think
28:25
yet, but I saw it again this morning.
28:27
>> Second time better.
28:28
>> Yeah, second time was better.
28:29
>> Sinking in a little bit.
28:30
>> I think they adjusted the lighting and
28:32
the makeup.
28:32
>> Okay. I didn't mind the animatronic was
28:34
fine.
28:34
>> Clearly, they need some tweaks to the
28:36
show. Tighten up.
28:37
>> The voice should didn't sound like Walt.
28:38
You need to crank that volume up in
28:40
there.
28:40
>> Crank it up and maybe uh Yeah, I don't
28:41
know.
28:42
>> So, that's my negative side. The
28:43
positive side, I had a total attitude
28:46
adjustment cuz last night we were
28:47
sitting in there and when this little
28:48
girl was sitting behind us when Walt
28:50
came out, she goes, "Mommy, is that
28:52
really him?" And she was all excited and
28:53
I went, "A little girl just fell in love
28:55
with Walt Disney."
28:56
>> Totally changed my like, "Oh my gosh."
28:59
You know what I mean? So, like,
29:00
>> no, I'm glad he's in there.
29:02
>> That's what it's all about. We need more
29:03
Walt.
29:04
>> I kind of wish they would have not used
29:06
one man's dream, just redone. I know
29:08
>> in the beginning
29:09
>> I know
29:09
>> like that was weird and they took Julie
29:11
Andrews out and put
29:12
>> Iger Bob Iger you're like all right but
29:15
you know it is what it is.
29:16
>> What did you think?
29:17
>> It's a good footage in there.
29:18
>> I love it.
29:18
>> You loved it.
29:19
>> I don't get hungry his looks or sound
29:22
he's here.
29:23
>> Exactly. That's
29:24
>> glad he's here. He got you know the
29:25
whole thing is I love it.
29:27
>> I think they'll tweak him.
29:29
>> I think he's going to I think in 6
29:30
months we're going to go look.
29:31
>> I had no issues with the animatronic or
29:33
the way he looks. Just a show could be a
29:35
little
29:36
>> We are going to polish off this
29:38
fantastic day and evening with a little
29:40
Gibson girl over here. Little ice cream.
29:44
You ready for some ice cream, Greg?
29:46
>> All right, let's do it. How is it?
29:48
>> Ice cream. Look at the chocolate chunks.
29:52
>> Yeah,
29:52
>> they're gigantic. And then we got
29:54
>> of course one of my favorites. Rocky
29:56
Road. I just love this chocolate with
29:59
>> There's a marshmallow in there.
30:00
>> I got to film like you. Hold on. Ready?
30:02
Here we go. You got to do this.
30:06
>> That was delicious.
30:08
>> Do the spin around. Do the spin.
30:10
>> There you go.
30:12
That
30:12
>> is the best way to end the night.
30:14
>> I learned from the best. Miguel,
30:16
>> we zoom in and out like this.
30:19
>> I got cookie dough and butterc.
30:21

30:37
chocolate chip cookie and ice cream and
30:40
fudge and whipped cream and a cherry on
30:43
top.
30:45
>> All right, I'm back in my room and
