in the 1980s and the monorail went
0:55
through
0:56

1:02
to stay in there and now
1:05

7:10
i've never seen
7:12
the top of the monorail before not sure
7:14
if i can use the atrium
7:16

7:19
it a try
7:21
okay atrium club am i allowed up on the
7:24
atrium plug
7:26
and that is a negative oh that's a good
7:30
angle
7:31
space mountain the castle and there goes
7:35
the monorail speaking of it's going
7:39
over right now right over the fantasia
7:42
market
7:44
plenty of souvenir press penny stations
7:46
quite a few one two three four five
7:48
six and a change machine if i had to
7:51
choose any of them it would be this one
7:52
very retro style
7:55
always found it fascinating that the
7:56
carpet design in here is very similar to
7:58
stanley kubrick's the shining
8:01
different color pattern but yeah it's
8:02
the same design it's rolling in the
8:04
showers
8:06
some thunder lightning
8:09
not too much oh did you see that flash
8:12
there's a lightning bolt
8:13
as far as the contempo cafe which is
8:15
where i'm going to get a few items goes
8:17
it is
8:18
mobile order so you scan this on your
8:20
your smartphone and then choose what you
8:22
want pay for it and then go up to the
8:23
window to get it when
8:24
when when they alert you that your order
8:26
is ready even though it shows a burger
8:29
right there on the grill all i ordered
8:32
they're preparing it all i ordered was a
8:34
few waters and a few orange juices
8:36
just making my way now up to the window
8:38
oh yeah
8:39
that's always a wonderful sight
8:42
there's the mobile order pickup right
8:45
there
8:50
mine would be around here maybe that's
8:50
mine right over there i think that might
8:51
be right there on the table
8:52
it was a pretty simple process if i was
8:54
going to get a meal which i might do
8:55
at some point there's some snacks you do
8:58
the mobile order
9:00
they call your number you walk over and
9:02
you don't have to take it back to your
9:03
room per se you could sit at one of
9:04
these tables if you so choose or
9:06
anywhere
9:27
just so the wind doesn't blow in the
9:27
rain
9:47
official time 5 15 on monday july
9:47
27 2020. it happened
9:52
500 and one
9:55
overlooking magic kingdom
10:09
at the contemporary oh and perfect
10:09
timing
10:11
a monorail come on by
10:14
dang it happened half
10:19
a million subscribers
10:22
i just unbelievable
10:28
it just what did i
10:31
one plateau and another bucket list
10:35
item that you know it's just i've always
10:37
wanted to stay here
10:38
i know the grand scheme of things that
10:40
really
10:42
doesn't matter but it's something i
10:45
always wanted to do
10:48
and it made it justifiable
10:51
that's a little more than a value resort
10:54
and probably
10:55
probably the most i've ever paid for an
10:57
accommodations for an evening or two
11:01
but it only happens once
11:08
heck yeah
11:12
wow
11:26
i never never thought that gosh i never
11:26
thought i would even get to
11:28
50 000 subscribers 100 000 subscribers
11:44
like speechless at the moment life is is
11:44
very interesting
11:46
how you you devote yourself to something
11:49
and you put
11:50
you know especially constantly going out
11:53
and doing stuff and traveling and
11:56
there are sacrifices you have to make
11:59
and you look back at those and
12:05
there comes a point when things are
12:05
worth it
12:07
and you have to have a little you have
12:09
to have some celebrations
12:11
so no regrets on booking this room
12:15
this is an amazing feeling just sitting
12:17
here looking out
12:19
out of this this
12:23
balcony sliding glass door and seven
12:25
seas lagoon
12:27
something that i have gone across on the
12:28
ferry boat
12:30
hundreds of times since i was young
12:34
to my adult life and became an annual
12:36
pass holder
12:37
always seeing the contemporary thinking
12:39
that's that's the place i want to stay
12:41
one day
12:42
and it just just worked out right before
12:45
going back to california that it made
12:49
sense
12:50
and it just corresponded it's almost
12:52
like it just
12:54
lined up perfectly the day
12:57
i thought about only doing one night but
12:59
doing one night in a resort you have to
13:01
check in at three
13:02
around three ish check out 11 the next
13:04
day
13:05
it just it makes more sense to do two
13:07
nights so you get the
13:09
the full experience so that's what i
13:10
decided to do and it was
13:13
cutting it very close when it came to
13:16
the number
13:17
hitting the 500 000.
13:21
i thought it was going to happen before
13:22
checking in that did not happen
13:24
it happened about two and a half hours
13:26
after but still throughout the course of
13:28
the day and on the first day so it
13:30
worked out
13:35
man so cool
13:35
i can safely say this will most likely
13:37
be the
13:38
shortest amount of time i will ever be
13:41
spending walking into
13:43
a walt disney world theme park
13:46
now i've gone into disneyland and gotten
13:48
a dole whip or maybe some merchandise
13:50
and left because that's a
13:51
that's a whole different ball game when
13:53
it comes to accessibility
13:56
not here so much
14:01
but being so close is a real game
14:01
changer
14:03
and i think if i didn't access the
14:07
walkway
14:08
and the park
14:15
i would end up knowing that was a bad
14:15
decision
14:16
all right next to some cactus here i'm
14:19
going in for the
14:20
the cheers little little celebration
14:22
bite
14:25
oh yeah not much better than a dull web
14:29
grand total of about 20 minutes spinning
14:31
there that is a new record for both
14:33
coasts
14:35
add on another historic moment 20
14:38
minutes tops
14:39
into disney park entering eating
14:42
something and
14:43
exiting all in that time frame
14:54
i just got to thinking if i were ever to
14:54
get a tattoo
14:55
of one of the disney resorts it would be
14:59
this one for sure example here
15:02
wouldn't have the lettering and the
15:03
wording on there but
15:06
i i would probably wear that i would get
15:08
i would have the
15:09
the design there with the monorail going
15:11
through it for sure
15:12
that would be if i ever got a resort
15:14
tattoo that would be the one
15:37
i've always tried to learn and read up
15:40
and
15:40
study a little bit about walt disney and
15:43
the creation of disneyland in anaheim
15:45
but
15:46
also about out here in florida
15:50
walt passed away before he could see
15:53
this kingdom
15:54
completely come to fruition his brother
15:56
roy
15:57
stepped out of retirement to make sure
16:00
it was handled correctly
16:02
and an interesting side note about that
16:05
right after roy did the opening day
16:08
speech
16:10
it was only a very short time
16:14
weeks if not only a couple months
16:23
before he passed on and on that day when
16:23
he gave the speech
16:25
he took a boat out into this lagoon
16:36
and just watched the park from afar
16:36
and it said he did not want to take
16:39
you know the honor away from
16:42
his brother
16:52
that's how the story goes anyhow
16:52
gotta thank roy for this park just as
16:55
much as walt
16:57
that's why there's a statue of minnie
17:00
and roy by the train station sometimes
17:05
it's in front of the
17:07
in front of main street they move it
17:08
around sometimes but it's there on a
17:10
bench
17:11
so a little after 8 pm now the park
17:14
has been closed for i believe an hour
17:17
i'm noticing that the ferry boat
17:19
is heading this direction
17:23
being put away for the evening that is
17:27
not a route
17:28
it that i'm used to seeing it take
17:38
interesting ah
17:38
that's what's happening the switch track
17:42
routine now that one is
17:45
being put away for the evening on a beam
17:48
i've rarely seen utilized before i think
17:51
what's happening is
17:53
they both have to get the signal from
17:56
dispatch
17:58
okay yeah that one's got the got the
18:00
signal and now it is going
18:02
around the side of
18:05
