a friday night as a recording of this
0:10
celebration lake behind me i have
0:11
procured a piping hot
0:13
caffeinated beverage attempting to
0:15
figure out what i'm going to do i kind
0:16
of had to run some errands today
0:18
didn't really do much on camera thought
0:22
about
0:22
possibly not even doing an episode and
0:25
then realized i have not been
0:26
to disney springs which isn't too far
0:29
maybe
0:30
10 minutes from said spot
0:37
oh that's warm since they have relaxed
0:37
the mandates
0:38
of the facial coverings and it is
0:41
approaching a holiday it is a holiday
0:43
weekend
0:45
if you will it's gonna be busy i thought
0:48
heck it go over there and just see what
0:50
it's like and maybe
0:52
do a thing or two enjoy the evening
0:58
that's good inviting you to join me as i
1:00
head out of celebration to connect with
1:02
world drive
1:04
and head over to springs shall you
1:12
i love it through here now i've been
1:13
hearing well they were saying i don't
1:15
exactly know who they are but different
1:17
sources that
1:18
this will be the first time in over a
1:20
year that a holiday has reared its head
1:22
where people are traveling
1:23
extensively kind of like how it was pre
1:27
everything a little overcast up there
1:30
orange garage
1:32
don't mind if i do i think orange garage
1:35
out of all of them
1:36
is the one i frequent the most and i
1:39
always go up to the
1:40
top level yeah all the way to the top so
1:43
i always remember what i parked because
1:44
i'm on the top
1:55
568 spots left on the top floor perfect
1:55
all the other floors are a little
1:56
congested
1:58
which means there should be quite a few
2:00
people out and about
2:02
and the balloon is working it's a little
2:05
windy
2:07
you can see the balloon swaying maybe
2:08
that will be on the agenda
2:10
as well oh i just felt a raindrop i just
2:14
felt a raindrop and that thing is
2:15
swaying so they might yeah you know what
2:17
i don't think there's anyone
2:19
up on the balloon they might have just
2:20
sent it up on their own accord
2:23
to test out the weather but maybe a
2:27
nighttime balloon ride which i really
2:29
haven't done in a long time
2:30
doing a daytime night a daytime balloon
2:33
driving out at night time
2:35
now it's starting to sprinkle a little
2:36
bit should probably take my umbrella
2:38
with me change my mind not gonna take
2:40
the umbrella i'm gonna i'm gonna chance
2:41
it
2:42
look at the sun setting
2:50
off on the horizon it is sprinkling
2:50
probably going to regret not bringing
2:51
the umbrella but i'm not going to
2:53
don't feel like carrying it around
2:55
taking the stairway down
2:57
now since the last time i was here they
2:59
have removed all
3:00
temp checks so that's interesting
3:03
might be a quicker not that there's an
3:05
admission fee but it may be a quicker
3:07
admission to
3:09
time wise walking in yeah i can't tell
3:12
is there anyone up on there
3:15
i don't think they are i don't think
3:16
there is anyone
3:37
level two is where the temp checks were
3:37
before the escalators
3:38
not working when an escalator isn't
3:40
working like that
3:42
it just just basically just some steps
3:44
stairs now at least at this point
3:47
you still have to have the coverings at
3:49
least through the checkpoint
3:51
through the metal detectors just put
3:53
mine on and this is what it's showing
3:56
required at all attractions and indoor
3:59
locations make sure you keep it on at
4:01
all times and they still have the
4:03
the purell over here and here's a little
4:06
more detail
4:13
for a friday night not a whole heck of a
4:13
lot the extended q
4:15
isn't what it once was in weeks prior
4:18
just goes to show that once the the
4:20
temperature
4:21
screenings are gone kind of speeds
4:23
things up
4:24
quite a bit they also still have the
4:26
vending machine over there
4:28
with the facial coverings all right
4:30
going to the checkpoint and that should
4:32
be in
4:33
for now it is going up in the oh then
4:34
that sunset is beautiful over there but
4:36
it is going up
4:37
up up and away and now guests are on it
4:40
but just let me just point this out once
4:42
again look at that
4:44
sunset off in the distance that would be
4:45
a beautiful time to get up there the
4:47
line
4:47
to buy tickets is very lengthy right now
4:49
ever so it might be a much after dark
4:52
experience if i so choose to do it if
4:54
the wind stays at this pace now you'll
4:56
see how the metal
4:57
wire the metal rope that kind of
4:58
stanchions it to the ground is really
5:00
like
5:01
at an angle at a heavy angle right there
5:04
usually this balloon is like above the
5:07
trees that i'm standing in the spot
5:09
but it's swaying way over there
5:12
i just cannot stop focusing on that
5:14
sunset nice
5:15
very very nice yeah you can definitely
5:17
see it is busy is it not
5:20
nothing like it was back in july when
5:22
everything started to reopen it's
5:24
much more much busier now which is good
5:27
things are progressing i have now walked
5:28
to the far end over by house of blues
5:30
just to kind of see what's going on in
5:32
this way and i'm going to go walk back
5:33
over on the far end of
5:35
springs and i'm going to go over to the
5:36
other side from one end to the other
5:38
still trying to decide if i'm going to
5:39
do the balloon or not the line was very
5:41
very lengthy
5:42
and springs closes at 11 p.m it's
5:45

5:46
30 at this time all right as of right
5:48
now the balloon has been grounded the
5:50
balloon is no longer quite
5:52
operational due to higher winds
5:55

8:43
not in for the balloon and now very in a
8:45
very quick walking pace trying to get
8:47
back over there and get tickets before
8:49
i think it closes at the same time that
8:51
springs closes so we should be okay
8:53
should be okay oh yes it is happening
8:56
spencer
8:57
it's had your first balloon ride down
8:59
dude as long as it doesn't stop before
9:01
we get over there
9:02
just realize because i'm a dvc member
9:04
saved a percentage off
9:06
instead of 25 a person it was twenty
9:08
dollars a person forty dollars
9:10
for two people it doesn't look too windy
9:12
at the moment as this thing goes up
9:13
okay the entrance we're going in going
9:16
in going down the little walkway here
9:19
and you can see it has like a metal
9:20
steel rope that's the only thing keeping
9:23
from flying up to the heavens as it
9:25
starts to make its way down the group in
9:27
front of us
9:29
it's going down it's swaying a little
9:31
bit
9:32
it's swaying a little bit on that metal
9:34
rope right there take a look at that
9:36
so it's going down here to this platform
9:38
i've done this during the day but it's
9:40
probably been
9:41
five years or so since i've done a night
9:44
time aero file i think i might have done
9:46
see look at that the wind is swaying
9:48
that so look at how it should be
9:49
perpendicular like this
9:51
and it's just going going around it over
9:54
i have never done the aero file at night
9:56
i've done characters in flight at night
9:57
they used to have it painted with like
9:59
all the characters that flew like dumbo
10:02
and
10:03
peter pan oh yeah look at that so it's
10:06
kind of
10:07
go oh yeah it's oh it's swaying it is
10:09
swaying
10:10
good what the heck the wind just picked
10:12
up dude
10:14
is this is this meant to be here it
10:16
comes again
10:24
oh the wind is going
10:24
um spencer this is this chicken exit i'm
10:27

10:31
still well if we do oh
10:34
if we do bail we're only out 40 bucks 20
10:36

10:41
quite a bit okay and let's see if we got
10:44

11:49
now it's been five years since i did it
11:50
at night they had markings

12:27
probably maybe so are you scared of
12:30
heights
12:31
no but you are weird
12:37
oh there's something he's like a
12:37
connector there

connecting to the lightning rod the
12:44
lightning was very dramatic very dark
12:46
brownish
12:47
was that lightning strike
