2024 I am wearing an appropriate t-shirt
0:13
let's go get that Dino shirt also
0:15
stopped offer a piping hot caffeinated
0:17
beverage at this Mickey D that is solar
0:20
powered I am heading to Animal Kingdom
0:22
and I am not going to be riding dinosaur
0:24
I am hopefully going to be riding the
0:27
reopening I think technically it opens
0:30
tomorrow but they're doing a soft
0:32
opening more or less an opening right
0:36
now in fact I checked about 10:30 at the
0:38
moment I checked about a half hour ago
0:40
it was a 15minute weight first it was a
0:42
half hour weight then it dropped to a
0:43
15-minute weight and now it is
0:45
temporarily
0:47
closed but hopefully by the time I get
0:49
over there it'll be reopened fun fact I
0:51
have never been on this water ride I've
0:54
been to the version out at DCA at
0:57
Disneyland in
0:58
Anaheim but I've never been on this one
1:01
I'm bringing my GoPro I'm filming on my
1:03
phone now left my G Canon g7x at home
1:07
and I'm also going to leave my wallet in
1:09
the car
1:11
and I am sporting the
1:15
Crocs and I have a little
1:18
baggie that I'm going to put probably my
1:20
phone in and my car key in my car key
1:23
fob in I'm going to get wet and
1:25
hopefully can ride it more than once two
1:29
or three or more times I also checked
1:31
there's no lightning Lane for the
1:33
attraction today CU I was going to buy
1:34
the lightning lane and then utilize that
1:37
but I'm hoping that a lot of people are
1:39
not dressed accordingly because they do
1:41
not know that the ride is reopening
1:43
today because technically it's supposed
1:45
to be tomorrow and the the wait time
1:47
will be short all right i' I've said so
1:50
much so far in this intro and yet I've
1:51
said so little I'm getting in there I'm
1:53
inviting you to join
1:56
me let's get wet shall you approaching
2:01
Disney's Animal
2:10
Kingdom parked over here at giraffe
2:10
parking this is the first time I've ever
2:12
gone to a theme well it's the first time
2:13
I've ever even
2:15
worn
2:16
Crocs pardon the farmers's tan around my
2:19
I'm not a farmer but I do have a
2:21
farmer's tan I don't think any Farmers
2:23
have probably ever worn Crocs I'm sure
2:24
if you pulled a bunch of farmers and
2:27
asked would you ever wear Crocs the
2:28
consensus would be
2:31
no so got my coffee but I also have this
2:34
little
2:35
baggie that I have my go one extra GoPro
2:39
GoPro battery in have the GoPro here I
2:42
use the hero 10 haven't used it too
2:47
often I use it in Hawaii when I was on
2:50
the water slide stuff at Alani but I
2:52
haven't really used it too much these
2:54
are some hot tubs of the resorts but
2:56
pulled it
2:57
out I also was trying to find find a
3:00
little baggie it's like a Ziploc baggie
3:02
they used to use on Splash Mountain I
3:03
have a few of those around but more
3:05
recently out at Disneyland I think it
3:07
was Disneyland I'm sure I don't think it
3:08
was here they had some for Jungle Cruise
3:11
they had jungle cruise Ziploc bags that
3:14
you can put your phone in originally
3:16
they were used for Splash
3:17
Mountain and I couldn't find them I have
3:19
like four or five for both attractions
3:22
but I didn't want to like dig around
3:24
through all the boxes and find them so
3:25
I'm just utilizing this little this
3:27
little Disney bag it's the first time
3:29
I've ever been to the parks also without
3:30
my wallet left my wallet in the car I
3:33
think he took his wallet giraffe
3:42
232 it's not 242 like Front
3:42
242 I saw Front 242 years ago a couple
3:45
times I used to like that band a lot
3:47
I've opted to walk and to follow the tra
3:56
path now there are a lot of people
3:56
excited for C River Rapids I'm not sure
3:57
if I was pronounced C or kie
4:00
probably kie I think I just have c i me
4:03
to say
4:05
California kie or kie River
4:12
Rapids to get a little little wet first
4:12
impression wearing these
4:14
Crocs not as comfortable as the shoes
4:17
I've been wearing now I've been a saone
4:19
guy for about 20 years I've always worn
4:21
sonon I used to wear Converse Allstar
4:23
Chuck Taylor as I got older my feet
4:27
really need a little more cushion than
4:29
wearing and you know the Chucks so I
4:32
ended up sted getting on the saone train
4:34
I've been on doing sonon for like 20
4:36
years very very comfortable but as I've
4:38
even gotten older and I'm kind of
4:40
getting into doing the treadmill a
4:42
little bit and going be doing this run
4:43
Disney event in
4:45
September I got some on clouds I've been
4:48
wearing those the last week or two and I
4:50
got to say the on clouds are a little
4:52
more cozy to wear than the
4:56
saon and both of them are way more
5:00
comfortable than Crocs I just checked
5:02
and it's still down it's going to be a
5:04
real bummer if this thing does doesn't
5:06
reopen oh she's going away I caught her
5:08
just in time before she go she's going
5:10
back into the O she's going back into
5:13
the woods see got the guide map here too
5:17
and not only have I not been on this
5:20
attraction here at business Animal
5:21

5:23
the Q it was pretty close to exped
5:25
Expedition Everest which I've been on
5:27
multiple to multiple times but just
5:29
right next to that kind of that general
5:32
area right over there in the Asia

break crowds are definitely here there's
5:46
a lot of people here right
5:48

7:06

7:20
the bats you got the monkeys over
7:30

7:30
I have never ever walked over here
7:32
before raft the Ki River Rapids with kie
7:37
Rapids
7:39
expeditions to say not
7:51
Kevin I just talked to the cast members
7:51
over there they were saying keep
7:53
checking the app there's a really good
7:56
possibility that it's going to reopen
7:58
and again I checked your earlier there
7:59
is no lightning light now there are
8:02
storage lockers over here in case you
8:05
didn't want to get the stuff that was
8:07
very sensitive to get wet like older
8:11
cell phones I think I have the this
8:12
isn't the newest model of an iPhone but
8:14
it's the previous model which I believe
8:17
is water resistant I don't if it's
8:18
waterproof but should be able to put a
8:21
little baggie and have it in my pocket I
8:22
might even film from film on this as
8:25
well so you got the you got the lockers
8:27
over here as well and here's the little
8:30
Locker stations touchcreen to
8:32
start oh there's a Char so standard is
8:35
free a large bag a large Locker is $4
8:39
but complimentary for the small bags at
8:42
least that's how I'm breing
8:45
that oh wow how's it
9:14
I'm seeing one of the ride vehicles
9:14
moving so looks like they're testing
9:18
it yeah look there's another one going
9:21
by oh yeah I'm getting on this I'm
9:22
getting on
9:28
this
9:39
this I think I've been on the one at DCA
9:39
like maybe five or six times not like
9:41
definitely not something I go on every
9:42
time cuz just don't want to have soaking
9:45
wet socks and clothes the whole time but
9:48
today this is all about this once it
9:50
reopens that's the monsoon
9:54
mama
9:55
oh pressing the green button will shower
9:58
the raft
10:06
look at that they can drench you with
10:06
the elephants over there press the green
10:09
button and then the look at that you can
10:12
squirt them with the elephants oh that
10:14
is mean and someone's going to probably
10:16
squirt me with an elephant
10:18
tusk okay I'm excited about this I have
10:21
to be honest I really need to start
10:22
spending more time at animal can I've
10:25
stated this before it is my least
10:26
visited and least favorite Park of the
10:29
four Walt Disney World parks and I think
10:31
a lot of it's Nostalgia because when I
10:33
was really going heavily when I was
10:35
younger to Disney this park was not open
10:38
yet you know Magic Kingdom and then I
10:40
really got into Epcot and the studios
10:41
opened in ' 89 early '90s I was really
10:44
into Studios and when this park opened
10:46
in '98 I kind of was like not really in
10:48
my Disney phase at that time I was just
10:51
kind of like concentrating on the punk
10:52
rock scene going to shows things like
10:54
that so it was a little lull in going to
10:56
the parks as opposed to different points
10:58
in my life
10:59
so I don't have that Nostalgia that some
11:01
people have of growing up with this park
11:04
so I just I think I the more I come here
11:07
though the more I'm starting to enjoy it
11:08
and learn new things and do new things
11:11
and maybe this will maybe this will add
11:12
to it or today will just be a oneand
11:14
done for this we'll see what happens oh
11:16
good lord oh goodness look at that over
11:19
there
11:21
oh that is some moistness ready to
11:25
happen yeah yeah
11:45
timing in fact it just opened there's no
11:45
one on that one right there the other
11:47
one's going by but there are people in
11:48
front of me in line but the first guest
11:51
after the reopening again at 9:30 I
11:53
checked it it was 30 minutes before I
11:56
left the house and then about 15 minutes
11:58
later it was down to 15minute way timee
12:01
by the time I got here and parked it was
12:02
down a lot of people are coming in line
12:04
now so I got to get moving look at the
12:06
theming through here just The Rustic
12:08
flare of the bricks the Expo exposed
12:12
rocks all the little hidden Easter eggs
12:15
probably some animals through here I'm
12:16
sure Ro probably put some animals
12:18
through this q line as well just like he
12:21
did for the tree of
12:27
life through here this freaking great
12:27
all Riders must wear shoes okay so you
12:30
can't go shoeless good thing I got the
12:33
good thing I got the old Croc action all
12:35
right my GoPro is acting up I don't I
12:37
don't know maybe I don't know how to use
12:38
it correctly so I'm going to film with
12:40
my phone and the GoPro and just see how
12:43
it works
12:45
out SE with hands are feet
12:47
legs keep seat belt
12:50
securely massive boy my day is going a
12:53
ride GoPro isn't working correctly I
12:56
just broke my
12:58
glasses and when you buy cheap
13:00
sunglasses it happens I'm going to toss
13:02
these going to film on
13:04
both beating on the drum some sort of a
13:08
some sort of a warning or maybe a of
13:10
some sort is everything is about to go
13:12
off the ra right now look at this this
13:16
is what a Contraption this is to be
13:19
honest last time I went on the
13:22
one I don't really remember much about
13:24
it
13:48
there are people on oh look at that
13:48
staircas down to the
13:49
water
13:52
Titanic it's
14:26
wet oh look at that wow at all look at
14:26
all
14:28
the
14:32
what the
14:49
that not an expert on this but I don't
14:49
think we're supposed to be stuck in the
14:54
spot I haven't really gotten that wet
14:54
yet either I think the main drop is a
14:57
stopping point it's like a big elevator
14:59
I can't really see it from my seat
15:01
position but yeah this is the theming is
15:04
pretty cool look at that truck over
15:05
there stuck with the wall like like a
15:07
log truck that's about to fall over into
15:22
river also noticing no more ride
15:22
Vehicles there's one there no more ride
15:25
Vehicles so the little rafts are
15:27
continuing on somebody get evaced off
15:49
there this is an anticlimactic reopening
15:49
day maybe that's why they just consider
15:52
a testing testing ph probably why it was
15:55
down for the last hour still working out
15:58
all the little bugs
16:14
all right it's been about 10 minutes in
16:14
this box I'm starting to bake a little
16:23
bit maybe they just want you to get you
16:23
all hot and sweaty before they have you
16:25
plummet into the wetness to cool
16:27
off
16:51
all right add another 5 minutes on
16:51
probably 15 minutes stuck in this same
16:54
SP all part of the
16:56
experience again there's only one ra
16:59
behind my raft there's one raft in front
17:00
of my raft and one raft behind my raft
17:02
there's three rafts stuck up here at the
17:05
drop and no more rafts are making its
17:07
way into the raft cue to go down the
17:10
plummet just kind
17:12
of a little tip off that something might
17:15
be a
17:16
ride probably close the ride again stuck
17:19
on a closed
18:04
just the ra is going to
18:04
remain
18:51
god wow
18:51
wow my
18:57
god
18:57
wow
19:15
myow we're almost done now dude that was
19:15
the worst that was the worst part now it
19:18
gets better now we get to dry yeah you
19:20
good buddy look how fun this
19:22
is that was a nice drop
19:32
oh oh cool and refreshing oh my God cool
19:32
and refreshing oh here's here we go here
19:35
we
19:42
go all
19:42
right I like the drop all right I got to
19:46
say that was a that was a heck of a lot
19:47
of fun right there that was a heck of a
19:49
lot of fun I didn't like been stuck on
19:52
it for as long as we were stuck on it
19:53
but yeah that was was pretty D cool oh
19:56
they could I don't even know if they
19:57
know or not that guy right there could
20:00
squirt doesn't even realize it oh that
20:02
guy's going to do it he's going to do
20:08
it all right that was a success except
20:08
for the 15- minutes sitting in the sun
20:09
but to be honest it felt really
20:11
refreshing to get drenched after sitting
20:12
in that sun for that long I liked it and
20:15
the Crocs worked out pretty good there
20:18
was like four or five other people I
20:19
sitting on that side luckily I had my
20:21
own side myself I'm going to make some
20:25
Croc prints here look at that C PRS oh
20:30
where am I going where am I going hey
20:32
you went on I did it close to the yellow
20:34
line okay all right thank you have a
20:35
great
20:38
day that kind of throws your equilibrium
20:41
off wonder what the weight time is I
20:42
might go on it again I might go on it
20:44
again and again or at least one more
20:45
time all right I was noticing now
20:47
there's a little bit of a line it it
20:49
stretches all through the woods over
20:50
there so I don't know if I'm going to go
20:52
on it again it's already gotten very
20:53
lengthy so maybe just a one and done
20:56
today but I think I think I really
20:59
enjoyed it I'll go to the front and see
21:01
what the way time is but it looks pretty
21:04
lengthy you got over here you got the
21:06
going through the
21:13
woods I think getting stuck in that spot
21:13
kind of threw off my game plan of riding
21:15
at once getting off and getting on it
21:17
again with no weight
21:19
time we were stuck probably a good 20
21:22
minutes so I got you know people saw the
21:24
app saw it was open got back in line but
21:27
man that was very
21:29
crushing yeah I don't I don't know how I
21:31
feel about wearing these feeling wearing
21:33
wet
21:35
Crocs with a sh kind of I think you
21:37
could almost probably get a blister from
21:39
them rubbing against them not super
21:41
uncomfortable but definitely not
21:47
cozy all right it says 20 but the app
21:47
says
21:54
70 so it's really a 60 Minute weight all
21:54
right 60 plus oh
21:57
60 says 20 but app says 70 guess the
22:02
size not working cast memb said the
22:04
sides weren't working so all right 60 to
22:07
70 minute wait I'm good yeah just to
22:09
confirm so 60 Minutes this has between a
22:11
60 and 70 minute wait evidently the
22:15
sign over there is
22:17
broken so he says you're free to go in
22:19
but it's going to be between a 60 and 70
22:21
minute
22:23
we all right I I had fun on it though
22:27
enjoy this round
22:34
decied to jump on the tram why not head
22:34
back over to
22:36
giraffe 232 I believe it
22:40
was golf car going
22:50
by yeah I don't know if I'm a Crocs guy
22:50
again I think they would probably be a
22:51
lot more
22:52
comfortable they had socks on but then
22:56
they would be wet which would defeat the
22:58
purple
22:59
also I had a little higher hopes of
23:01
getting on the attraction more than once
23:03
but waiting 60 to 70 minutes for a
23:06
second r that L all the way behind my
23:11
