Transcript
0:02
today's adventure brings us to walt
0:02
disney world for a little
0:04
experiment on wait times due to low
0:07
capacity and required reservations
0:11
gonna see what it's like as the
0:13
recording of this
0:14
it is tuesday july 21st 2020
0:20
10 49 a.m rope drop is at 11.
0:24
it's a weekday i mentioned that because
0:26
that could be a factor
0:28
even though there are reservations in
0:31
place
0:32
i believe that they're not all filled up
0:34
except on the weekends weekends are a
0:36
little busier
0:37
and at this time frame eight minutes
0:39
before rope drop
0:40
going up to the very first parking
0:44
section
0:46
still no monorail looking into the um
0:48
this umbrella i've been using it appears
0:50
as one of the metal
0:51
pieces of snapped off so i have to
0:53
purchase another i'll play it by ear
0:55
i have my hat but if it gets too much
0:58
sun i might have to purchase another one
0:59
of these
1:00
a maze 35 is the parking area
1:08
that i'm at welcome everyone adam's a
1:08
woo
1:09
here you can see they are still spacing
1:12
out
1:13
the spots as well now that lot
1:16
is moderately filled up with the one
1:19
next to me over here
1:21
completely empty now i will not be
1:26
it's not really a challenge so much to
1:28
go through the entire property and then
1:30
out is currently 11 a.m now
1:33
so it is opened but i am going to dock
1:36
i'm not going to try to get out
1:37
as quick as possible but i am going to
1:39
document each of the wait
1:40
time signs and then confirm
1:44
that the wait times are in sync with
1:47
what they are stating i have noticed
1:49
if it says a half hour it's really only
1:51
15 minutes if it says 10 minutes
1:54
it's usually just a walk on if it says
1:55
an hour it's a half hour it's about 50
1:58
percent
1:59
that i've been noticing so we'll see if
2:01
that kind of goes along with
2:03
the par of what i've been what i have
2:06
been experiencing
2:07
this section of the lot as well is
2:16
guardians over there spaceship earth
2:16
right there i'm inviting you
2:18
to join me yeah i might have to get
2:21
another umbrella
2:22
this this is good but it's nice to have
2:23
even more shade inviting you to join me
2:28
shall you there was a part of me that
2:30
thought about
2:31
not even returning here for a second day
2:34
i was out here yesterday to focus on the
2:36
food and wine festival and the merging
2:38
with the flower and garden
2:40
but i was able to get a reservation
2:42
during these times
2:44
being able to go to a disney park is
2:46
something i am not prepared to turn down
2:48
so it's happening if the last few months
2:52
have reassured me of anything
2:55
nothing is set in stone if you get the
2:57
opportunity
2:59
go for it parking trams also are not
3:02
quite
3:02
operational and the monorail well this
3:06
loop
3:07
for now is not good morning yeah
3:10
it's so good to be back always good to
3:12
be back going through the screening
3:15
97.3 that was the temperature and this
3:17
is what it looks like at the front turn
3:19
styles going in
3:20
might save spaceship earth to the very
3:22
last after i do the loop that'll be the
3:23
last thing
3:24
but walking by even right at opening at
3:26
1107 there is no one in line
3:28
most of them are located in future
3:30
worlds they're going to go over to the
3:31
living seas and just kind of go
3:32
up and around into world showcase a
3:34
little bit to the mexico pavilion
3:36
and former maelstrom frozen and then
3:38
back down around 11
3:39
11 nemo and friends states five minutes
3:42
always nice to see these seagulls
3:45
the vibe in the queue is if you're at
3:47
the beach itself
3:48
walking up or well yeah walking up a
3:51
pier there was someone in front of me
3:52
about 100 yards or so but
3:54
back there no one and this way no one
3:58
continuing on no one the majority of the
4:01
wait time will just be walking through
4:03
the queue itself
4:04
11 15 took me four minutes to sit in
4:06
this clam shell
4:07
and there is no one behind me no one at
4:09
all
4:10
and looking this direction doesn't
4:12
appear to be anyone as well but all by
4:13
myself
4:14
check out that site goodness just me and
4:17
the jellyfish i believe
4:19
oh the scary fish is working oh it's
4:21
working scary fish is working
4:23
oh it's getting very active in here it's
4:25
getting very active in here by 11
4:28
20 walking out of this pavilion and on
4:30
to the next
4:31
into the land pavilion where there are a
4:33
couple of attractions
4:34
where soaring is located over there and
4:36
the boat ride right down there
4:39
it is stating five minutes for this as
4:41
well but the reality is it's even less
4:43
than that
5:36
all right time for soaring it states 15
5:36
minutes here on the
5:37
the time signage i'm pretty sure the
5:39
majority of that is just the walk in
5:41
as i'm kind of meandering in there
5:43
really isn't anyone in front or behind
5:45
me
5:46
making my way up the front then when i
5:48
get to where they make the
5:50
the introduction announcement there just
5:52
some cast members and one or two people
5:54
in front of me
6:01
and i got the bottom row so i wasn't at
6:02
the tippy top i was the third
6:03
from the top there's only three rows but
6:05
i was on the lower of the three
6:07
still a cool experience but if you ask
6:09
for the top it's
6:11
it's a little more amazing at the top
6:12
portion current time 1205 heading up the
6:15
escalator and out of the land pavilion
6:18
even the restaurant area down there is
6:20
not too incredibly
6:21
packed heading over to say hello to
6:24
figment
6:25
looks like the wind is really starting
6:27
to pick up a little bit reading it from
6:28
here it says
6:30
15 minutes i'm going to say it's a
6:32
little less than now but it says 15.
6:33
yeah that pretty much equates for just
6:35
the walk time because they're real yeah
6:37
there's there's no one in front of me
6:38
just i'm walking right on it's such a
6:40
fun ride
6:41
it's not the same as it was many years
6:43
ago it definitely has
6:44
changed considerably since the dream
6:46
finder days but figment will take you
6:48
inside to his world of imagination
6:51
you'll go upside down and then you'll
6:53
end
6:54
with a with a blast of sorts and then
6:57
you'll see a bunch of figments doing a
7:00
bunch of different activities and then
7:02
the guy
7:02
is in the moon itself singing it's it's
7:06
quite quite an experience i'm standing
7:07
here outside now
7:09
next to the pvc fountain next to the
7:12
monorail beam
7:13
and i have purchased another
7:16
umbrella i got a fresh one i got a fresh
7:20
umbrella carrying on i really like the
7:23
look
7:24
of this exterior as well always loved it
7:28
it is now 12 24. i just looked on the
7:30
app and it
7:31
it appears as if the frozen attraction
7:34
over in norway according to the
7:36
according to the my disney experience
7:38
app is not up i'm gonna walk over there
7:39
and check my goal was for each and every
7:41
attraction to be open but sometimes it's
7:43
not in the cards you just never know how
7:44
the day is going to play out
7:46
crowd level update from this perspective
7:48
and there goes
7:50
no monorail the inside of this pavilion
7:54
is always
7:55
night for day where it's really daytime
7:57
outside but it's nighttime indoors and
7:59
gotta go
8:00
get on on a boat ride another boat ride
8:02
doesn't appear to be too many on here as
8:04
well
8:05
i would say about a one minute wait time
8:08
all right i stand correct i make that
8:09
about a minute and a half away time i'm
8:11
up next
8:12
please do not touch the plexiglas
8:15
road number one am i going on now all
8:18
right going on
8:18
a nice relaxing cruise
8:22
there are parts of this that remind me
8:23
of it's a small world especially through
8:25
this
8:26
area and look up there there's donald
8:27
there it's like a pinata donald
8:29
then you go through the marketplace
8:30
which has been changed considerably over
8:32
years
8:33
and then the last three caballeros
8:34
animatronics have been added
8:36
most recently all right over to norway i
8:40
go all right this doesn't look too too
8:43
bad
8:43
in the past it extended way outside but
8:46
there is no
8:46
outdoor cue it's just all tucked away in
8:49
the inside
8:50
it says 25 minutes let's test it out i'm
8:52
going to predict this probably half of
8:53
that
8:54
total wait time seven minutes as much as
8:57
i love maelstrom i really do enjoy this
8:59
attraction as well there are some great
9:01
elements here that still kind of remind
9:03
me of how it used to be like the going
9:05
back
9:05
backwards and then they plummet over the
9:07
falls except
9:08
when you turn around to look for the oil
9:10
well it's weird that it's not there yet
9:12
i'm still used to seeing that oil rig
9:14
right here
9:14
oh goodness this guy's still looming
9:16
around in here as troll
9:18
so i'm going to do something i never do
9:20
mission space 10 minutes it states
9:22
this really isn't my favorite so i'm
9:23
gonna go with the green mission in all
9:25
honesty i don't even know what to expect
9:27
it's been about 20 years since i went on
9:29
i wish that this wheel still spun we
9:31
wish it did and we shut down
9:32
i met up with michael k is wearing a
9:34
sweet spaceship or a shirt
9:36
i like that square number four
9:40
okay this is us right here this is the
9:41
lesser of the two extremes right
9:43
yes so what's the so we're doing the
9:45
orange we're doing great we're doing the
9:46
green
9:47
what's the orange do it goes to mars and
9:49
gives you the g-force i don't want to go
9:50
to mars
9:50
by the pilot uh it says in front of you
9:53
oh i'm uh
9:54
i don't know what i am i'm a navigator
9:56
it's the flight of the navigator
9:58
okay i'm ready compliance supply the
10:00
navigator reference
10:03
that's also a disney reference it's kind
10:04
of a tie-in
10:06
it's a stretch but it works that wasn't
10:10
too bad
10:10
but you said the other one is a lot more
10:12
a lot more going on a lot more pressure
10:14
a lot more
10:15
uh what do they call that when the
10:16
pressure comes down on you g-forces
10:19
okay this was good enough for me this
10:21
was good these are the ride vehicles
10:23
gonna hop on spaceship earth and maybe
10:25
thank some phoenicians
10:27
two people in front of us only two not
10:30
thank you guys thank you so much what do
10:33
you think about all this
10:34
it's uh unique no doubt about it we'll
10:37
get back to it one day
10:38
that's the key word unique yeah that's a
10:40
good way to describe it
10:42
i really like to go walk back over to
10:43
test track but i don't even know if that
10:44
would even be wise at this point it's
10:46
probably
10:47
what are your thoughts you think it's
10:50
probably still down
10:50
probably gonna still be down yeah a
10:52
little implementation here in the
10:54
weather patterns
11:03
she's making the statement that they are
11:03
cleaning the vehicles but we can go wait
11:05
in the queue line until
11:06
it is time let's perform procedures for
11:09
each of our ride vehicles
11:10
do receive operations in just a few
11:12
moments
11:14
what do you think the wait time will be
11:15
from here maybe five minutes maybe
11:18
seven okay i'm saying five you're saying
11:20
seven it's probably gonna be more like
11:22
