0:34
oh it's a well there's a clock back
0:37
there next to the bag but that is a
0:39
a meter of some sort i couldn't really
0:41
tell what that was but i kind of looking
0:43
over my shoulder peripheral vision did
0:46
not recognize
0:47
what that
0:53
that was that was a car going by very
0:53
quickly
1:00
not really quickly but it has a pretty
1:00
decent sized engine that makes a little
1:02
bit of noise
1:04
down that direction
1:12
a little downtown area i have an
1:12
announcement
1:13
i'm inviting you to join me for the
1:16
announcement shout you
1:18
i am not going to disneyland
1:22
i have decided as of a couple hours ago
1:27
not to go not to go to southern
1:29
california not to get on the plane that
1:31
i have
1:31
a flight booked for thursday in the
1:35
afternoon
1:36
i'm gonna fly out of orlando
1:37
international have a layover
1:40
either atlanta or in dallas i can't
1:42
remember which and then
1:44
into into santa ana john wayne
1:49
scrapping that idea and i'm just gonna
1:51
stay here
1:53
up until so i'm saying florida up until
2:01
just after mother's day it's been some
2:01
time but
2:02
he's spending some time with family
2:03
which they don't live too far
2:06
30 minutes or so for me my mom and dad
2:12
so we got mother's day coming up after
2:12
mother's day i'm going to go
2:14
on a road trip i'm going to go on a
2:17
extensive two-week road trip maybe
2:21
into some areas i do i know i do a lot
2:24
of road trips
2:25
cross country back and forth to
2:27
california where i have a place out
2:29
there
2:29
as well now officially if you want to
2:32
get down to the nitty-gritty
2:35
i have a florida driver's license
2:39
because i have moved back to florida a
2:42
little bit of a
2:43
a misstep
3:03
problem on my part when i did that back
3:03
in december moving
3:04
back out here even though kept my place
3:08
in orange county california got a place
3:11
here
3:12
in celebration in the orlando greater
3:14
orlando area
3:16
you know close to the greater orlando
3:18
area and because i did that
3:21
there is a i say the word gray area
3:23
there is a
3:24
a very thick gray area
3:27
when it goes comes to going to the
3:29
southern california
3:31
theme parks that have reopened six flags
3:34
which is not checking you know ids at
3:37
all to go in universal studios which
3:38
i've heard
3:39
is also not checking and disneyland
3:42
which opens up
3:43
on april 30th which
3:47
just to go out on a limb
3:50
i will say there is a good possibility
3:52
that they will not be
3:54
thoroughly you know digging deep into
3:57
all the nooks and crannies of where
3:59
people are from
4:01
and with that in mind i thought you know
4:02
i could take my lease
4:04
i could take some bills from my place
4:07
in california and that would be that
4:10
would classify
4:11
as what they quote on the website
4:14
say well i say quote now it might be
4:17
paraphrasing
4:18
gender it's more or less it says
4:21
because they don't quote me on this but
4:22
i just said quote
4:25
it is a quote of
4:28
residency may may
4:31
be required not will not this is what
4:35
this
4:35
is the driver's license that you need
4:38
this is the
4:39
california id that you need it just says
4:41
proof of residency may be required
4:44
and in my this
4:48
not the smartest brain ever thought you
4:50
know what i that
4:51
i am classified to go there
4:54
and i still feel like that that would be
4:56
allowed i don't think there would be
4:58
any issue i do have some cast member
5:00
friends i have
5:01
other friends who are really good
5:03
friends with a lot of cast members
5:05
so across the board talk to maybe a half
5:08
a dozen or so
5:09
of folks that work there and they asked
5:12
around
5:13
and none of those five or six full
5:18
knew the exact answer no one had
5:21
a specific definite answer
5:25
yes when you walk up you're going to
5:27
have to take your california driver's
5:29
license
5:30
and show it there is no answer
5:33
anywhere so i called the disneyland
5:36
resort
5:37
a number of times over the last couple
5:39
of days well i say a number
5:41
twice stayed on hold for well over an
5:44
hour
5:44
because with the reopenings it will give
5:47
you a
5:48
automated message saying that they are
5:50
on they are in
5:52
very lengthy times to get to talk to a
5:55
person and not an automated system they
5:57
send you to the website
5:59
and after about an hour hour and a half
6:01
an hour not quite an hour and a half
6:02
over exaggerating
6:03
about an hour give or take a minute
6:07
i just i got a little stressed out over
6:10
it
6:11
and i thought i'm just gonna call back
6:12
and that never panned out i never
6:14
got a definitive answer at all
6:17
on if i could get that every place i
6:20
searched online and i feel like
6:22
that even the customer service cast
6:24
member that would have answered
6:26
probably would not have had that now i'm
6:29
rambling a lot i'm talking a lot
6:31
all that is really unimportant because
6:34
i could still get on the plane i could
6:35
still go to california
6:37
i could print out a lease from my place
6:40
all that i have stated but i decided not
6:43
to i
6:44
overlooked in my excitement maybe
6:47
intentionally maybe because i just was
6:50
not
6:50
thinking that it still existed but there
6:54
there is not a mandatory
6:55
there is not a you must there is no
6:59
law but it says that one should
7:03
it is it is what's what's the word it is
7:06
hinted at and it can't think of the
7:08
exact word
7:09
i guess i could look it up on the phone
7:11
but it says it's basically
7:13
you should it is their
7:16
opinion the state that
7:20
when you fly in or drive in
7:24
that you should lay low for seven to ten
7:26
days
7:28
you know what the word is where's
7:31
overuse i'm not gonna use it
7:32
laying low for seven to ten days i would
7:35
not have been able to do that
7:37
nor would i have done that knowing me
7:40
because after a couple days i get stir
7:41
crazy
7:43
so that factored into i did not think i
7:45
wasn't thinking
7:46
that through in my excitement
7:49
probably push that out of the of there
7:52
now once i said it's not a law it's not
7:54
a
7:54
it's not a definitive you have to do
7:56
that if you
7:58
break that and you can live with
7:59
yourself there's no punishment for that
8:02
there's i would head you know i would if
8:05
i was a betting man i would say
8:07
there are plenty of people even
8:09
californians that are crossing over to
8:11
go to vegas
8:12
back and forth on a continual basis out
8:14
of state and then back in
8:16
that will be and have been attending the
8:18
openings of the theme parks
8:20
in southern california guaranteed so
8:24
that was not the definitive factor but
8:27
adding all these things
8:28
that i have mentioned on to the fact
8:31
that i now have
8:33
something else has reared its head
8:36
check my mailbox and i have received
8:41
jury duty for the end of the month now
8:43
i'll probably do an episode
8:45
about this and i'm not going to be able
8:46
to film in said
8:48
jury duty because you can't take cameras
8:50
in i don't think you can
8:51
but i will maybe do a wrap up explain
8:54
where i'm going
8:55
show what the process is from the
8:57
outside talk about it
8:59
and just explain what it's like during
9:00
this this situation
9:02
to be called for jury duty that is
9:04
towards the end of the month
9:06
which would interfere with what i kind
9:09
of wanted to do
9:10
now it's not just that well i guess it
9:13
is kind of just that that is a
9:16
i could avoid that altogether but that
9:18
would come back
9:19
to haunt me as well you know obviously i
9:23
stated it
9:24
being open out there so i could never
9:25
avoid it but
9:27
if you avoid any anything you receive in
9:30
the mail
9:32
eventually they're going you were going
9:34
to get called
9:36
for jury duty this has happened to me
9:39
years and years ago
9:41
and they will just send another one and
9:43
say did you forget that you have this
9:45
and you say
9:46
dang i thought they were going to forget
9:49
they don't forget so my thought is
9:53
i'm going to do it i'm going to do my do
9:55
my my jury duty
9:59
so that's what i'm going to do so factor
10:02
all of these things in now i will
10:05
go on record to say that i
10:08
personally believe there would have been
10:10
no issue for me to get in and i will
10:13
i am interested in communicating with my
10:16
acquaintances
10:17
friends close
10:21
you know close friends and just see
10:26
well not even just anyone in general
10:28
that i know i will i know a lot of
10:30
people that are going and watch i will
10:32
probably know
10:32
a hundred people you know in some
10:35
roundabout way that are going on opening
10:37
day
10:38
and it's gonna be interesting to see
10:40
what what actually happens at the gate
10:43
and i'm going to say that it will not be
10:47
that intense of a
10:49
of a regulation i don't think it would
10:53
but i've made my decision i have some
10:56
other things i want to do
10:58
and to be honest i i really it's almost
11:01
like a weight has been
11:02
lifted off my shoulder since this
11:04
happened since i
11:06
decided today i have not had i don't
11:09
have any
11:10
any kind of regrets thinking man
11:13
maybe i shouldn't be doing this i could
11:14
not even be i cannot even be expressing
11:16
this to the world
11:18
and just wait till the night before get
11:20
on a red eye
11:21
fly out there and still do it but
11:24
because i am stating this this is
11:25
putting into motion
11:27
i am sticking to well and because of the
11:30
said
11:32
jury summons which i
11:35
don't know how long that will last
11:36
hopefully just one day all of that aside
11:43
i'm gonna miss the disneyland opening
11:43
and i am fine with that
11:45
i will be out i will be out in southern
11:47
california
11:49
july august september
11:53
full-on summer and i can go to the parks
11:56
then
11:57
it'll be there it'll be open and it'll
11:59
be a little bit more
12:01
more lenient on
12:04
so that that's that's what i'm thinking
12:06
that's what i'm thinking about
12:08
got some stuff going on this week don't
12:11
want to give too much away
12:12
and i know yes i will state this i know
12:15
i have been
12:16
very very heavy on
12:19
not not only the weight side but the
12:21
theme park aspect side
12:23
disneyland in particular yes i know i
12:26
moved to
12:27
celebration florida a community started
12:30
by
12:31
walt disney world i do have an annual
12:33
pass
12:38
i just like going to the parks and
12:38
sometimes
12:40
even later in the evening like you know
12:42
right now as a recording of this it is
12:43
about to be nightfall i will upload it
12:46
the following morning usually what i
12:47
would do is up you know film during the
12:49
edit at night and then upload the next
12:51
morning
12:53
and sometimes around this time i think
12:54
i'm gonna go let's see if there's any
12:56
reservations
12:57
i will check there is i will procure a
13:00
reservation by the way i do not have a
13:01
piping hot caffeinated beverage going
13:03
with a
13:04
with a cold water which i need to take a
13:07
little sip of
13:09
and i will go to the park and i think
13:10
you know i'm going to take a day off i'm
13:12
not going to film or take a day off of
13:13
filming
13:14
and then i think why this is fun i'm
13:17
having fun at the park i'm enjoying it
13:19
grab the camera film it throw an episode
13:21
together
13:22
and some enjoy watching it so
13:25
that's why there is an exorbitant amount
13:28
of
13:29
disney content lately because i enjoy
13:32
disney i love disney i will always love
13:34
disney i've always
13:35
loved disney i went to my parents house
13:37
earlier today we discussed a lot of this
13:39
whether i should go whether i should not
13:41
go and the
13:43
the whole conundrum with the
13:47
howard just coincidentally this jury
13:49
summons
13:51
fell into my lap at the same time as the
13:54
historic openings
13:55
of walt disney's original magic kingdom
13:58
but
13:59
when you when you live
14:02
somewhere officially you will get those
14:04
in the mail
14:06
and now i am
14:12
a florida resident even though
14:12
i spent in the last 12 months i spent
14:13
more time in southern california
14:16
and i assure you i will spend more time
14:19
at my place out there than i will here
14:22
over the next
14:22
few years it's just but yeah i have no
14:25
plans on
14:26
on giving up either one
14:30
so it's a weird like i said i said gray
14:32
area that might not even be the word
14:34
i don't know what kind of area it is but
14:35
it's an area a confusing area
14:39
but specifically in my wallet a florida
14:42
driver's license
14:43
which makes me a floridian
14:46
that's a nice is that classic classic
14:49
truck alert
14:51
maybe he might be a classic truck alert
14:54
and i i don't have any i have no
14:55
disappointments with
14:57
with that being being the fact
15:00
i do love color i do love california
15:04
you know
15:10
it's going to be weird not being there
15:10
i'll be watching
15:11
a lot of videos from the opening day i
15:14
am looking forward to the new
15:15
seeing the new snow white overlay i am
15:17
looking forward to what's being done
15:19
in haunted mansion i'm looking forward
15:21
to seeing a lot of my friends
15:24
which will be very emotional for walking
15:25
down main street usi i am excited
15:28
for everyone and i wish i could be there
15:30
with you but
15:31
you know there's just there's a lot a
15:33
lot on the plate there's a lot to unwrap
15:34
there's a lot to unravel with this
15:36
with this scenario and i would feel i
15:39
feel
15:41
i feel right not trying to
15:46
to go through with it and the and the
15:49
other thing i mentioned obviously
15:51
which you know i was talking to my mom
15:53
about this it's almost like it's a sign
15:56
you never ever have things happen where
15:58
so many things start to get peppered in
16:01
where it's like oh yeah all steam ahead
16:03
this is the plan this has been my plan
16:05
since last year when i bought the
16:07
disneyland ticket before
16:09
the before when it was it was june of
16:12
last year because they were going i felt
16:14
that they were going to announce the
16:15
opening
16:16
around the 65th anniversary which was
16:19
this was in the the wheels were in
16:20
motion for this
16:22
last year even before you know when the
16:24
tickets went on sale or tickets
16:26
closed down in june of last year
16:30
it's been june since they closed the
16:31
tickets down they didn't reinstate them
16:33
until the 15th of this month
16:35
but in my mind i thought i should get a
16:37
ticket even though i was a pass holder
16:38
and now pass holders don't exist
16:40
at disneyland they do here walt disney
16:42
world but i had that ticket and i
16:44
thought
16:45
i am going to get in on disneyland's
16:47
opening day i'm looking forward to it
16:50
it was just like you know it's almost
16:52
like what's what's the word you're like
16:54
a bull in a china shop you're not even
16:56
thinking you're just like you have the
16:59
little what are they called blinders on
17:01
running through
17:03
that's how i was and sometimes little
17:06
signs
17:07
they get kind of dropped down in the
17:10
heavens
17:11
one after the other you know like you
17:13
see this little
17:14
regulation that maybe you should be
17:16
following even though it's not a law it
17:18
is something they say
17:19
you should probably do this this is what
17:21
our state guidelines
17:22
not all state guidelines are like
17:24
california california is one of the
17:26
one of the stricter or at least what
17:29
they what they are saying that you
17:31
probably should be doing as opposed to
17:35
some of the other some of the other
17:36
states like the one i'm in right now
17:38
very lenient in comparison
17:45
so just sometimes it's good when things
17:45
happen
17:46
and it makes you think makes you step
17:47
back say
17:50
what am i doing what am i doing right
17:52
now
17:54
i wish i was doing it but it just wasn't
17:56
in the cars
17:57
too many too many negatives
18:00
to the positive as much of an advocate
18:04
and a much of a
18:07
man just uh just into the work
18:11
of walt's and disneyland
18:14
to me it's a it's a big deal but it will
18:17
always be there
18:17
and i will make it rest assured i will
18:20
make up for
18:21
my absence in the future this is
18:23
beautiful
18:25
just wanted to throw that out there into
18:26
the into the open air
18:29
got some stuff happening working on some
18:31
projects
18:32
might even take a couple days off i
18:34
hardly ever take a couple days off
18:36
anymore i usually i say i'm going to
18:40
these are discussions i always have with
18:42
friends and family and
18:44
about this it's like why sometimes i
18:46
think why am i doing this so much
18:49
should i be putting here's an
18:50
interesting topic too
18:52
you know you always want to put you know
18:54
my filming locations i put a lot of
18:56
a lot of really detailed effort into the
18:59
historical stuff
19:00
if you look at my filming locations from
19:02
four you know five or six years ago not
19:04
so great i'll be the first one to say
19:07
not the best videos but if you watch any
19:09
of my filming locations
19:10
in the last three or four years
19:13
i stand by my i stand by my work put a
19:15
lot of effort a little time
19:17
effort months of watching the same film
19:20
and kind of you know frame by frame
19:22
watching where everything is
19:24
attempting to find spots that no one
19:26
else has found
19:28
and sometimes you can't do that every
19:31
day so it's hard to do that every day so
19:32
sometimes you'll have kind of the
19:34
the more happy go lucky fluffy type of
19:37
stuff
19:38
going to theme parks and things like
19:39
that and maybe i do that stuff
19:41
a little too much so maybe i need to
19:43
maybe i didn't take a day off so
19:44
maybe i'll see you tomorrow maybe i
19:46
won't but i will see you in the next
19:48
video
19:50
thanks for listening the vlog is over
19:53
and one last thing well a couple of last
19:55
things i would like to do some well i've
19:57
already stated i would like to do some
19:58
road trips but some of them are
19:59
extensively
20:00
across the u.s and there are you know
20:03
some stipulations and regulations that
20:06
are not laws
20:07
but just like in california they have
20:09
stated you know their side
20:11
and what they want other ones are as
20:13
well so
20:14
doing cross-country stuff into some of
20:16
the states which
20:17
i want to do some massive road trips
20:20
when will that be possible without
20:21
having those little gray areas
20:23
that you will technically be kind of
20:27
sort of breaking
20:29
also i wanted to give away not just my
20:32
ticket
20:33
but also my reservation i have the
20:34
reservation for april 30th disneyland
20:36
but also a ticket for
20:38
disneyland on april 30th the problem is
20:40
tickets can be purchased
20:42
those are not as difficult to get
20:44
anymore the reservations
20:46
are gone so those are like gold and from
20:49
what i can tell
20:50
you cannot give away i cannot transfer a
20:53
reservation
20:55
i thought about doing some sort just
20:56
giving it away
20:58
to someone but you cannot transfer
21:02
a reservation
21:09
unless i can figure out how to do that
21:09
or i could just state a time here this
21:12
is what i'm going to do
21:14
this video you know it will be uploaded
21:16
