2:12
the loaded whip orange pineapple swirl
2:15
with lots of lots of extras something
2:18
new it comes with an announcement that
2:34
was really loud a little bit of
2:34
everything down in there including
2:35
crystallized hibiscus and edibles it's
2:39
like taking the Dole Whip to the next
2:42
level one of my favorite things may have
2:45
just got better
2:47
Oh
3:01
I can taste the crystallization pepper
3:01
it on there he's gonna jab this right in
3:03
my mouth
3:10
before the lies get too long I'm gonna
3:10
head next door to the Jungle Cruise and
3:12
get a view of the new establishment from
3:15
the boats oh look at that tiger wow he's
3:19
big he could probably jump 30 feet
3:22
now we're only 20 feet away so he
3:25
attacks us no land on the other side
3:28
take pictures everybody they've all got
3:31
their Crocs on everybody wave hey pardon
3:36
look at all wrinkly yes you know why
3:40
elephants are all wrinkly
3:42
to the double
4:22
don't try that at home
4:24
everybody looks like this my my best
4:25
efforts you have survived the
4:27
world-famous Jungle Cruise you guys have
4:28
a good time yeah me too I have such a
4:31
good time I'm gonna go again a joke
4:34
anyway of course the dock here see you
4:36
everything inside the boat away from the
4:37
edge hands and armed men and elbows
4:39
fingers kids everything inside the boat
4:40
and stay seated ok I'll tell you when
4:42
you can stand up only a crazy person
4:44
stands up in a moving boat upon exit
4:47
there is a sign guiding the way it also
4:50
like how the eating area stretching all
4:52
the way out here a couple different
4:54
bridges the one closest to me
4:56
it's called skippers walk there goes
4:59
another boat now better not to traverse
5:03
those rock formations and to stay on
5:06
what's more structurally sound where I'm
5:09
standing at the moment I'm also noticing
5:11
over here there is a post office box the
5:15
flag is pointed up which means the
5:17
letters in there
5:18
wonder where that's headed if you look
5:21
closely along the roof line you'll see
5:22
some plays on the wall that's for the
5:24
Tiki Room birds to peek out if they so
5:27
choose there's individual nametags below
5:30
each hole have you ever heard the story
5:32
above my friend the pika
5:34
it's a beautiful tale looks like this
5:38
alligator got a hold of one of these
5:40
oars notice the name plates on the side
5:43
of them detailing what and where they
5:45
were used like the Amazon in 1910 or the
5:49
Congo in 1906 or how abouts the
5:53
Kissimmee River in Florida that's where
5:56
that's probably where that Gator came
5:58
from tucked away in the corner near the
6:00
emergency exit door are some lamp sales
6:03
of the exotic persuade
6:05
and below them some magic carpets right
6:08
there in that barrel even some rare
6:11
artifacts on that shelf gotta say I
6:14
really really enjoy the theming here
6:16
it's up kind of high but this is the
6:18
lost and not found
6:21
quick little peek inside the Tiki Room
6:23
you can see kind of the layout in the
6:26
direction you can go instead of exiting
6:28
out this way you can turn this direction
6:31
and that is where tropical highway is
6:33
now located a couple other added bonuses
6:36
not only does a seating area stretch all
6:38
the way on to the Tiki Room porch but
6:40
it's now connected through this
6:42
staircase and fret not you can still
6:46
purchase a dull whip from here if you so
6:49
choose or make your way to the new
6:51
hidden area just up the steps and around
6:55
the corner oh yeah oh yeah I've got I've
7:02
got good news and bad news for you the
7:06
bad news is you've got scurvy berry
7:08
berry dum-dum fever of course what
7:10
you'll be dead as everybody knows within
7:12
20 minutes good news you paid an advance
7:15
oh it's not my problem just take the
7:21
advice tented below you poor old soul
7:23
and thank you so much for patronizing
7:25
shrunken Ted the jungles only
7:27
self-service witch doctor boiled one eye
7:30
of Newt sprinkle on a thick paste of yak
7:33
fur and consume until the yak runs out
7:37
of fur I figured while I was in the area
7:40
to say hello to shrunk it Ned but now
7:44
I'm stepping back in round two for
7:48
snacks I need to get one of these fresh
7:50
off the river oh I see what they did
7:52
there hidden have you ever wondered why
7:56
elephants are so wrinkled I suppose it's
7:59
because they're hard to iron feel like I
8:02
need to split it open and show you oh
8:03
look at all that oh look at all that
8:05
steam even comes with an additional hot
8:08
sauce that I was told it's pretty good
8:10
jump on that I don't know if dumping
8:13
would be wise but
8:14
just like to have this tiny bit tapped
8:17
on there
8:22
I think I might prefer it without the
8:22
additional spicy flavor it's warm enough
8:25
on its own do you suppose a Jaguar could
8:27
jump higher than a tree what am I saying
8:31
of course they can trees can't jump
8:34
there was a time at the tikki room that
8:36
we thought we were receiving messages in
8:39
Morse code turns out we had just hired a
8:42
wood wrecker
8:43
I'm looking at the waterway underneath
8:46
the porch area and the theming with the
8:49
fishing nets but I'm wondering what the
8:51
heck is that on the side of the tree
8:53
it's like a piece of wood with some
8:55
twigs and branches poking out of it it
9:00
only makes sense while I'm in this
9:01
general vicinity to go inside the cheeki
9:05
room
9:06
it just makes sense
9:16
the earth is trembling foundations in
9:16
the earth but sad to say I'm just
9:20
hanging on when I smile
9:31
little hot-headed
9:49
welcome to Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki
9:49
Room
10:24
and now stepping out passing the dole
10:24
side with the parrots drinking out of
10:27
there
10:28
bamboo straws and we've reached a
10:31
crossing point quick either go to the
10:34
restrooms to the right or the left back
10:38
in to the hideaway I thought the water
10:42
spoke to me but it just waved I have to
10:49
wonder if there's any sort of view from
10:53
the treehouse of the hideaway if I climb
10:56
up top can I see it from way over here
11:02
the Mark Twain Big Thunder Mountain and
11:05
future Star Wars land definitely can be
11:07
seen but no sign of The Hideaway yet
11:10
from up here it doesn't look like it's
11:12
gonna happen too many shrubs branches
11:15
and leaves in the way they truly are
11:17
trying to keep it heated hence the name
11:21
from an aerial view but it never hurts
11:24
to try it never hurts to try the line
11:28
for Jungle Cruise is lengthening
11:30
considerably opening up the top section
11:33
of the Q I might be able to go up top
11:35
and look down from there for a good
11:38
perspective what we're looking for will
11:41
be somewhere over here now it's not on
11:43
the map yet but it'll be
11:45
this worked out pretty well it seemed
11:48
pretty good from up here and I was told
11:49
I can exit from that little ramp and
11:52
stared right through here
11:56
this should give me the proper
11:58
perspective that I desire oh yeah
12:03
it's happening you can see the bridges
12:06
leading in you can see oh there's the
12:09
boat coming into the side not a bad
12:13
angle
12:20
don't enter data turned down a dan dan
12:20
ton to dunt dunt dunt dunt dunt dunt
12:23
dunt da da dun dun - da da dun dun to
12:27
start up there make your way down word
12:30
put me where there's some sort of animal
12:33
paw prints there's wild animal there's
12:35
one there and there's one there okay
12:37
it's heading out I thought it was going
12:38
in but it's actually exited so little
12:41
touches of theming that make everything
12:43
perfect
12:51
people ask Rosita why don't you just fly
12:51
to your next show well I'll tell you why
12:54
they didn't have any window seats left I
12:59
feel your pain check out behind the
13:02
counter they have a water treatment
13:04
facility last new treat of the day the
13:07
sweet lufia kind of looks like an egg
13:10
roll except inside it has pineapple and
13:13
bleep cream cheese even some appropriate
13:16
dipping sauce included
13:27
hmm a hit of pineapple more than a hint
13:27
of cream cheese
13:35
pretty dang good glistening in the Sun
13:35
layering it with its topping
13:50
I like that in my opinion this is
13:50
definitely the new type of chill-out
13:53
spot that Disneyland Resort needed
13:55
really enjoying this
14:03
a plethora of delicacies to strike your
14:03
fancy plenty of seating arrangements to
14:06
fulfill any size party I remember when
14:09
this was just a little Terrace a real
14:13
oasis
14:14
I remember that hustle and bustle of
14:16
Adventureland I remember those days too
14:20
and quite a view of the river I am very
14:24
satisfied with the completed project
14:31
whoa this isn't good it's teetering
14:31
there it's gonna fall in the water it
14:34
says very boldly keep dry but that's
14:36
it's about the about the plummet that
14:39
truly is a magic carpet there's a q-tip
14:43
smoking off the tip of it how does that
14:47
happen it's magic actually it's not
14:50
magic it's just the shadow of this take
14:54
a look at the lantern covers and the
14:57
detail
14:59
around them all the birds and flowers up
15:04
alright I got to get out of here if not
15:06
all enough I wound up moving into this
15:07
section certainly don't want to hang
15:09
around too long it might end up like
15:11
these guys do you know why Engels all
15:14
tuck one leg under their bodies when
15:16
they stand I don't tell me because if
15:19
they lifted both up yeah they would fall
15:21
down that's that's a very valid point
15:24
now it might be just me but not seeing
15:26
the aladdin area over there doesn't it
15:29
seem a little bizarre okay I'll see
15:35
myself out
15:36
no way I was not expecting them to have
15:39
this poster just took me by surprise
15:42
some little corridor under the train
15:45
station at the entrance slash exit I
15:48
came in the opposite way this morning
15:51
but upon leaving I see this Bam Bam Bam
15:56
Bam Bam pom pom pom pom spawns
16:03
abba-baba-baba
16:09
I can make
16:16
that was a hint on where they got the
16:16
name you probably already knew the
16:19
backstory now
16:35
please remain here
16:35
until the tram comes to a point
16:39

16:42
head and watch your step
16:43
