welcome everyone out of the wheel here
0:03
as a recording of this it is Monday
0:05
December 5th 2022 the birthday
0:09
of Mr Walt Disney it's a little later in
0:11
the eve fact looking at the clock right
0:13
there it is just about 6 30 P.M
0:17
I am in the mood for some Walt chili and
0:20
I have discovered there's not a whole
0:22
heck of a lot of places on Disney World
0:24
property which isn't too far from
0:25
celebration
0:27
that serves just a chili in a bowl
0:29
there's a mosquito oh wow right there on
0:32
my arm the Polynesian Resort serves it
0:35
in a bowl every place in Magic Kingdom
0:37
serves it on a hot dog or fries but I
0:40
want to eat chili like Walt did to
0:42
celebrate his birthday so I'm heading
0:44
over to the poly and then I'm going to
0:46
go into Magic Kingdom
0:48
and see what I can see under the
0:50
Nightfall the shroud of Nightfall after
0:53
it has reared its head join me happy
0:56
birthday Walt shall you and if I focus
0:58
on this I might see the minute hand with
1:00
the bicycle move closer to the 5 30
1:03
point I guess it would be like 5 26 or 5
1:07
27 right now
1:09
you know what I probably should book a
1:11
reservation as well I guess I should
1:12
probably go on the My Disney Experience
1:14
app let's see if MK oh there it goes
1:16
okay I'm gonna see if I can get a
1:18
reservation the Magic Kingdom if I don't
1:20
I'll just go to the poly and that'll be
1:22
it as of 6 45
1:25
this is what I-4 Westbound is looking
1:27
like
1:31
this time of the night
1:31
well rush hour in the morning or rush
1:33
hour at night pretty busy
1:35
and not just people on I-4 but also
1:37
people
1:38
past the Mickey power pole that are
1:41
leaving the parks you could see over
1:43
there that is out of wdw just trying to
1:48
get on I-4 and this is what it looks
1:50
like the other way yeah really backed up
1:53
I will say however from my direction
1:56
heading into Magic Kingdom I don't have
1:58
to hit any of that I don't have to get
2:00
on I-4 I don't have to get on Highway
2:01
192.
2:03
it's pretty much just a smooth sailing
2:05
through here I should also mention I do
2:08
not have I forgot to book a reservation
2:11
so I'm gonna try to book one when I when
2:12
I get up here and park even though I am
2:14
going to the Polynesian Resort I am not
2:16
going to park at the poly I'm gonna park
2:17
at the TTC parking area and just walk by
2:21
Polynesian and Grand Floridian
2:24
and then over to Magic Kingdom and I
2:27
have parked over in the villain section
2:29
423 scar
2:32
I'm gonna choose to walk it no tramming
2:35
for me today as I've been walking I've
2:37
been attempting to get a reservation I
2:39
keep hitting the back icon and then
2:42
pretty much all three of the other ones
2:44
except for
2:45
Magic Kingdom are available now this
2:47
this could change you know every couple
2:49
minutes
2:50
one might pop in here but no luck yet
2:52
you can see how it's kind of silhouetted
2:55
out there
2:56
just Studios Epcot
2:58
an animal kingdom are the only ones
2:59
available
3:00
I'll keep trying though
3:02
the park doesn't close till 11 pm I
3:05
think the fireworks are at 8 15.
3:08
so I got plenty of time it'd be kind of
3:10
nice to do a little post firework
3:13
parking well this is parking but I mean
3:16
in the park you know doing some fun in
3:18
the park park
3:34
crossing the streams the trams
3:34
still no luck on the reservation I keep
3:37
trying but I pulled up Captain Cook's
3:39
menu here
3:40
over at the Polynesian and check it out
3:43
not only is it Waltz chili but it's
3:45
Walt's favorite 1958 chili
3:53
4.99 I might have to get two of them
3:53
it's the only place I've seen on
3:54
property that says to clarifies it as
3:57
Walt's favorite chili and there's a date
4:00
stamp on it 58. now there is a walking
4:02
path you don't have to go through the
4:04
checkpoint over there like you're going
4:05
to TTC
4:06
if you want to go to the poly you can
4:09
hit up one of those
4:11
little checkpoints on the way in if
4:13
you're going over to Magic Kingdom if
4:14
you're just walking over to the resort
4:15
just walk right from the Transportation
4:18
Center
4:19
through this little alcove area through
4:21
this little
4:22
alleyway
4:31
taste that chili
4:31
it almost tasted once born in 1901 if he
4:34
was still alive he would be older than
4:37
Methuselah older than dirt
4:39
Maybe 121.
4:41
if he were alive today which
4:47
would be an interesting if you're still
4:47
running the company one of the things
4:48
that people always ask is you think what
4:50
would be proud of the way the company is
4:52
with the decisions of modern day the
4:55
answer is I have no earthly clue but if
4:58
I had to guess I would say probably not
5:00
ecstatic about it
5:02
really the only way I can chime in on
5:04
that is you know Walt if he was trying
5:08
to throw money grabs out there he was
5:10
doing it in a lot less discreet or more
5:12
discreet way in a hidden way than the
5:15
company does today the money grabs today
5:17
are very in your face where if Walt was
5:20
doing that which I don't feel like he
5:21
was as dramatically
5:23
he was very a lot more discreet about it
5:25
that's pretty much what I can say about
5:27
that scenario inside the Polynesian now
5:29
I am ready for my food I'm here prepare
5:31
my order and there it goes Captain
5:34
Cook's three items ordered a beverage
5:36
and two of Walt's chili I'll take Walsh
5:40
chili will pop up on this little order
5:42
details there's a train and there was a
5:44
that is some sort of a like a wrap that
5:47
is a milkshake no Waltz chili other
5:49
Mickey I figured I walked all this way
5:51
and head over here for the specific
5:53
reason of getting some of Walt's
5:54
original chili with onions and cheese
5:56
and whatnot I might as well go for the
5:58
Gusto and get two here inside the
6:01
Polynesian Resort look at this little
6:04
Tiki right here the filet and everything
6:06
I love it in here it's such a nice
6:08
resort and speaking of the man himself
6:11
right up here is him and his wife
6:12
Lillian up there with they are really in
6:15
the the mood there with this tremendous
6:19
amount of Blaze around there look I
6:22
guess I guess
6:24
look at them he looks very serious look
6:26
at that serious face he's eyeballing
6:28
that chili ah yes the Quick Service
6:30
goodness of Captain Cook's so good in
6:33
fact they don't even spell the entire
6:35
word out no just c-a-p-t period Cooks I
6:39
mean I understand what it means but yeah
6:41
it's shortened short for Captain I mean
6:43
that's pretty obvious have made the walk
6:45
from Polynesian
6:48
over to Grand Floridian with a monorail
6:51
going by on the other side of that beam
6:58
a lot of construction going on so you
6:58
have to almost go onto the main road
7:00
past the golf course
7:01
in order to get over here so it's a
7:03
little bit out of the way
7:05
but a minute to walk it
7:28
yeah this one's for you Walt well two of
7:28
these are going to be for a while
7:30
because he liked his chili
7:32
and it's very interesting that I
7:34
couldn't find anywhere in Magic Kingdom
7:36
that sold the chili
7:38
just by itself without the
7:41
dipping it on a hot dog or having it on
7:43
fries
7:45
this is what we're dealing with a little
7:48
cheese
7:49
a little chili a little goodness
7:52
is there beans in this
8:03
I was kind of worried by walking
8:03
from one resort to the other they're
8:05
side by side that wasn't gonna be warm
8:06
it's still warm
8:20
it's got just the right flavor
8:20
Walt's 1958 chili
8:23
not 57 not 59. why the 58.
8:32
oh man I'm glad I got two of these this
8:32
is so good I still gotta check and see
8:35
if I can get a reservation
8:36
for Mk
8:38
they're all booked up I dropped the ball
8:41
and didn't book one
8:42
earlier
8:55
still nothing
8:55
still showing all three but not Magic
8:57
Kingdom
9:15
I can see why you like this chili pretty
9:15
good layer of cheese on there
9:18
got the meat the beans a little 58
9:21
flavor 1958 flavor
9:30
if there's another place on proper chili
9:30
without being in a bread bowl without
9:31
being on fries and without being on a
9:32
hot dog I need to find out where it is
9:35
instead of having to come to the poly
9:38
even though I'm eating this at the Grand
9:39
Floridian outside by the monorail
9:42
platform
9:43
this is really good chili to be honest
9:45
this is really good chili
9:52
I'm not a chili connoisseur but this is
9:52
good
9:53
I've had a lot of chili in my day
9:54
this is good chili there is no one in
9:57
the pool over here at the Grand
9:59
Floridian at the moment
10:01
no one
10:06
and the fireworks are about to happen at
10:06
Magic Kingdom in like 10 minutes
10:12
and if for some reason I am able to get
10:12
what I love I love the fact that they
10:14
got the lights under the monorails if I
10:16
can't get a reservation and get in there
10:18
I will be going Upstream against
10:20
everyone leaving the park after the
10:21
fireworks
10:22
it should clear out another solution
10:24
would be to take the monorail over to
10:26
look at this Crossing of
10:29
the monorail streams I could take
10:33
the monorail over the Epcot Loop scan in
10:35
and then come back I mean that's a lot
10:36
that's a lot but worst case I could do
10:39
that
10:40
let's see what happens I'm almost there
10:41
now at Disneyland if you book Disneyland
10:44
you want to go to DCA you don't have to
10:46
scan into the first Park before going to
10:48
the second Park
10:49
curious if that works this way too or if
10:51
you get DCA and you want to go to
10:53
Disneyland you don't have to scan in to
10:56
Disney California Adventure first as
10:58
long as you book one you can just go
11:00
right into the other as long as it's
11:01
after 1 pm I think it's 2 p.m here
11:04
might be don't quote me on that but it
11:07
might work since it's after that time
11:08
frame it might be feasible oh I hope
11:11
they're not locking this ooh they're
11:12
about to lock this up
11:14
no
11:19
it's gate first this is where they let
11:19
out the electric light parade on the
11:21
water because this is a revolving
11:23
Bridge hopefully I can make it through
11:25
here in time
11:31
never watched this happen before look at
11:31
this
11:37
this whole thing is going to shift
11:37
okay that's pretty cool so not the whole
11:39
thing doesn't show if also the fireworks
11:41
are going off and this so basically it
11:42
starts it's planted there and then
11:44
now fully open all the way perpendicular
11:47
parallel to the little
11:49
Causeway A Little River Way here and
11:51
then crossing of the two monorails there
11:53
and they're about to pull the barges out
11:55
yeah this is like a new experience for
11:57
me I've never I mean I knew I knew they
11:58
do this but I've never seen it with my
12:00
own eyes they worked out perfectly
12:01
timeline now of course they do not have
12:03
the lights on because we have to get out
12:05
of the seven sail
12:07
get out of the seven so there's the
12:09
pilot right there
12:10
if there's a person there's a team
12:12
member cast member piling it down there
12:15
so I've always wondered how they do this
12:16
so there's one pilot there guiding it
12:18
Captain I should
12:20
say this one's attack
12:21
this one so there's one Captain's for
12:24
one barge two barge three bars
12:28
four bars so basically one two three
12:31
four five six so seven barges it's just
12:34
one captain
12:39
for some reason from looking at it from
12:39
a distance you would think there's one
12:40
for each one of these but really one two
12:44
two three four five six
12:48
seven with one captain
12:50
just piloting it
12:51
probably someone at the back oh yeah
12:53
there's a captain at the back too so
12:55
it's two cast members for each for each
12:57
set of seven barges and I could sit and
13:00
watch all of them pull out but this I
13:02
mean look at this look at this view over
13:03
here
13:08
and see if I can scan in I can always go
13:08
to guest services and ask
13:10
it's like a park hopping thing or not
13:11
but boy worst case like I said I could
13:13
just walk over there to the Contemporary
13:15
there's plenty of options and get my
13:17
steps up
13:18
look how beautiful this looks look at
13:20
the fireworks there
13:25
I got to see a little behind this it's
13:25
pretty cool I could see a little behind
13:26
the scenes
13:27
of them pulling the barges out for the
13:30
electric light pageant fun fact the
13:31
electric light pageant on the water
13:33
predates
13:35
the electric light parade at Disneyland
13:37
that's where they got the inspiration
13:38
that's what I've heard anyway I just
13:39
checked and Epcot center is open till 9
13:42
30. so there is a possibility I could
13:43
just could just take the monorail over
13:45
there of course I got to do it before
13:46
everyone Mass exits the park out and
13:49
scan it over there and then pop back in
13:51
here so there is that possibility but
13:53
I'll see what happens if I try to scan
13:54
it
13:56
fireworks are over I made it in
13:59
everyone's heading I'm heading and
14:04
there are a lot of people in here and it
14:07
was no problem getting the I mean the
14:10
reservation they said that very soon
14:12
you'll be able to scan and they haven't
14:13
done it yet but they're going to be
14:14
having it where you can just scan into
14:16
any park after two but not yet yeah this
14:19
is really like a whole entire Vibe right
14:21
now post fireworks Vibe I'm going to cut
14:24
over to Tomorrowland try to get on the
14:25
Raceway because they have it lit up for
14:27
the holidays they have it for the the
14:29
Christmas party the Christmas party's
14:30
not happening tonight but I think
14:32
they're probably going to have the
14:33
Raceway lit up so hopefully I can get on
14:34
it and see that
14:37
lot of people actually probably the
14:39
clearest path would be to go through
14:40
Tomorrowland Terrace here got it this
14:42
way and they
14:44
I was kind of saying about how you know
14:47
Disneyland after one you can pretty much
14:48
scan into the park you didn't even have
14:50
you don't have to like scan in to park
14:53
hop and then the cast member was saying
14:55
there are strong rumors that actually
14:56
might take place here very soon but it
14:59
was no problem just going to guest
15:00
services and having them
15:03
oh check it out there's a 50th Stitch
15:06
right here like my magic band is kind of
15:08
Illuminating like can't really hear
15:10
anything because the noises are so
15:11
there's a lot of crowd noise but yeah
15:12
there's a 50th stitch up there yeah the
15:14
castle looks great with all the like
15:15
illuminate the other lights how to kind
15:17
of shine to look because of my magic
15:18
band lighten up again Stitch is probably
15:20
making a noise since it is a
15:21
non-christmas party night the lights are
15:23
not on over there sometimes if you come
15:25
in on a Christmas party night starting
15:27
at 4 P.M with a their Christmas party
15:29
ticketed guests come in they go ahead
15:31
and turn the lights on so by 5 or 5 30
15:34
even though it's six o'clock they kick
15:35
everybody out and have a ticket if
15:37
you're an annual pass holder in here you
15:39
can see the lights all over because it's
15:41
not a Christmas party night they're not
15:42
lit up however I'm still gonna do it
15:44
either way and possibly see some of the
15:46
Tron testing over there which it's been
15:48
launching about every 30 seconds or so
15:57
number 47.
15:57
pulling away from
16:00
station
16:03
with the people mover going by over here
16:05
beautiful I haven't been on this in the
16:07
evening hours in a long time but yeah
16:09
during the Christmas party they have all
16:11
these trees illuminated and lit up
16:20
they have been running Tron non-stop I'm
16:20
hoping to see it where it's even even
16:22
lit up for the evening hours
16:25
just going to keep the camera focused on
16:26
it I think it's about the launch
16:28
flashing lights over there
16:31
I've heard like oh there it goes look at
16:33
that oh beautiful I've heard once a ride
16:35
is completed and ready to roll they need
16:37
like a few months of testing before
16:40
they can let guests on it and I'm sure
16:42
that's the case as well they're saying
16:43
spring
16:44
for an opening day
16:50
but if it opens before that hopefully
16:50
I'm in town when it does I'd like to go
16:52
on it
16:56
and I'm kind of assuming they're not
16:56
going to let anyone film on it in fact
16:59
has just been announced that you're not
17:01
allowed to have a camera
17:03
on Space Space Mountain anymore there's
17:07
some signage up I'll go over there and
17:08
show it
17:09
so the other night I filmed it didn't
17:11
realize you're not supposed to film it
17:12
anymore so that will be the last time I
17:15
ever film on Space Mountain
17:17
for posterity I'm curious if any other
17:20
attractions and rides are going to
17:21
follow suit like Guardians any of the
17:24
extreme attractions I think you're
17:25
always going to be able to film on you
17:27
know Pirates and this for example and
17:30
Dumbo things like that but coasters you
17:34
know you're probably going to put the
17:36
signage up on rock and roller Space
17:38
Mountain Tron
17:40
maybe even Expedition Everest
17:43
is up next good thing I have documented
17:45
a lot of those
17:46
in great detail over the years
17:55
yeah I don't I don't foresee rides like
17:55
this them doing away with filming just
17:59
the extreme ride the extreme rides make
18:01
total sense to me I would imagine it's
18:04
probably a hazard so if I could drop a
18:05
camera or drop a phone
18:11
fun while it lasted it was fun filming
18:11
on The Coasters while it last
18:13
ever maybe GoPros will be allowed
18:19
the drones will be allowed on Space
18:19
Mountain
18:21
excuse Big Thunder Mountain Railroad up
18:23
next maybe I have
18:27
and now over in front of Space Mountain
18:28
and I will read the little washboard
18:30
that's here handheld or loose articles
18:31
including cell phones and cameras are
18:33
not permitted while riding items must be
18:35
secured on the person in vehicle storage
18:37
pouch and left with a non-rider
18:39
including cell phones and camera
18:41
equipment itself and they now have rice
18:44
order storage as well but the
18:46
interesting thing about that particular
18:47
washboard it doesn't it's not a vague
18:49
washboard sign where you know like a
18:51
little what are they called little
18:52
tri-fold things where it's like a little
18:53
pyramid that stands on the ground I call
18:55
it a washboard but it has Space Mountain
18:57
ridden across the top it's not a big one
18:58
you can put in another attraction talk
19:00
to the cast member and they seem to
19:02
think that they're probably going to do
19:03
it for Tron as well Rock and roller
19:05
coasters you know it's all hearsay
19:07
but maybe some of the other you know
19:09
more intense attractions and whatnot
19:11
because people lose items on there I
19:14
thankfully I've never lost something but
19:15
I could definitely see how if you're
19:17
holding a phone usually I'll use my
19:18
little manpro to kind of stick and
19:20
whatnot it's interesting too the other
19:22
day was it three or four days ago it was
19:24
on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and it
19:26
went up the lip Hill and a cast member
19:28
came over the intercom and said no
19:31
selfie sticks allowed put the selfie
19:33
stick away I don't have a selfie stick I
19:34
just have a little handle on my Canon
19:36
g7x not sure if they were talking to me
19:39
or talking to someone else could have
19:40
been someone else in the front with a
19:41
big selfie stick although maybe that has
19:44
something to do with the not them not
19:47
wanting you to film on the intense ride
19:50
so I'm curious to see how that's going
19:51
to play out but I will never film on
19:54
Space Mountain again Space Mountain My
19:56
Space Mountain filming days are now over
19:58
until they either change it or remove
20:00
the washboard or let people film again
20:02
and I'm very curious to see if over time
20:05
which other attractions maybe even
20:07
non-intense attractions adopt that
20:10
policy okay that's a long rant I did not
20:14
see any signage so evidently still
20:18
allowed on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
20:48
pick the resort monorail out
20:48
seemed a little quicker oh it's double
20:50
monorail look at that
20:52
nice
20:53
very very nice
21:10
that's gonna do it for today
21:10
kind of interested to see how the next
21:14
you know series of days weeks months
21:16
years
21:17
pan out on being allowed to film on
21:20
attractions
21:22
honestly I think the main reason that
21:24
Space Mountain kind of jumped
21:26
doubt to be the first one to really
21:28
heavily
21:29
stop allow any recording whether it be
21:32
phones
21:33
or video cameras or anything
21:36
is because it's kind of an intense ride
21:39
and if you drop something
21:41
you know it could shut the ride down
21:43
that goes pretty much any ride but
21:46
you could you know hit someone below you
21:48
just want another track below you so I
21:49
would imagine
21:51
other attractions are going to follow
21:52
suit and maybe possibly
22:01
all rides I wouldn't be surprised and
22:01
honestly it wouldn't even bother me if
22:02
that becomes a thing
22:04
but while it's allowed I'll film on what
22:06
I can film on I so choose
22:12
Space Mountain
22:12
the first one major news
22:22
but as of this moment I can still film
22:22
The Mickey power pole
22:28
is allowed
22:28
and pretty much every other ride
22:31
except I think
22:33
I don't think they really want you
22:34
filming on
22:36
Rock and roller coaster
22:42
I've filmed on it before
22:42
a lot of the gray areas when it comes to
22:45
what you can film on and what you can
22:48
Expedition Everest
22:53
yeah that'll probably be the next one
22:53
even though I filmed on that one
22:54
probably a hundred times in fact one
22:56
time I did 15 rides in a row
22:59
on his 15th anniversary last year on
23:01
Everest
23:03
and I filmed and it wasn't an issue and
23:06
I also filmed 30 times in a row on Big
23:07
Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland
23:09
30 rides in a row a few years ago
23:16
it's pretty awesome and there was no
23:16
issues filming so you just never know
23:18
but now they're making it painfully
23:20
obvious Space Mountain
23:22
filming on that is the thing of the past
23:25
we'll see in the next video the Vlog
23:29
is over
