0:14
January 4th
0:16
2023 I'm heading to the
0:20
parks first time back in the parks for
0:22
me for the new year
0:25
2024 and a lot is going to be happening
0:27
a lot of things closing a lot of things
0:29
opening this year I'm going to talk
0:31
about those changes and show some stuff
0:34
looks like they're getting the tent set
0:35
up for one of the Run Disney events
0:38
seeing these down World Drive pulling in
0:40
here to MK or TTC I should say slow
0:42
going the parking in here but check out
0:44
the temperature 55° right now nice while
0:47
just kind of idling along here take a
0:49
look over there on that burm they're
0:52
finally construction update they're
0:55
finally doing something over there check
0:56
it
0:58
out I feel feel like that would make a
1:00
really good Skyliner platform from TTC
1:04
to
1:05
MK they're probably just cleaning the
1:07
dirt out but
1:09
yeah it's kind of been an inactive
1:11
little Mound over there for a couple
1:13
years but looks like something's taken
1:23
place yeah it is busy look at this line
1:23
of cars pulling in
1:25
here I parked over here at scar 411 well
1:30
410 I me the one before it not going to
1:33
take the tra I'm just going to walk it
1:35
is nice and crisp and windy out here I
1:37
love this welcome everyone
1:39
Adam Theo here lots happening
1:45
2024 at the in the Disney parks and the
1:50
resorts I don't want say a lot but
1:52
there's a few things that are going to
1:53
be happening some closures of some
1:55
attractions some opening of some new
1:57
attractions even a new DVC Tower over to
2:00
polyan I will talk about some things I'm
2:02
not going to go to all four Parks I'm
2:04
probably going to go to two maybe more
2:06
but definitely two definitely Magic
2:08
Kingdom and then Hollywood Studios cuz
2:11
there's a few things I want to kind of
2:13
talk about and showcase meeting up with
2:15
the friend who's going to be meeting me
2:17
over here at TTC very shortly and we're
2:20
going to bounce back and forth from park
2:22
to park together and discuss some things
2:26
2024 is in full
2:28
effect join me shall you I also just
2:32
realized when I was at the Mickey power
2:33
pole a little bit ago that I stated the
2:35
year
2:36
2023 not 24 but be assured it's 2024
2:41
again it's going to take me probably a
2:42
month of stating what year it is to get
2:45
it dialed
2:46
in I can't be the only one having that
2:48
problem also 50 high 50s mid-50s to high
2:52
50s low 60s as the day progresses but it
2:55
is windy so the wind chill is on point
3:00
loving it I feel like there should be a
3:01
grace period for making mistakes on
3:03
saying 23 to 24 or any year for that
3:06
matter 2 weeks maybe it's a good grace
3:09
period 3 weeks I probably got to make
3:12
more mistakes than that but I I cleared
3:14
it up it's 2024 2024
3:17
updates here with heavy metal
3:20
Mickey made it through the checkpoints
3:23
look at that flag waving in the breeze
3:25
it is crisp oh take a look it looks like
3:28
Magic Kingdom sold out today also it was
3:30
sold out on New Year's but I guess it's
3:31
sold out 4 days after New Year's Eve too
3:35
look at
3:36
that oh Studios unavailable for a
3:39
one-day ticket also I made a reservation
3:42
with my AP was able to grab it but yeah
3:45
look at that that's
3:46
interesting those are the prices and on
3:49
a cool day like this the Joffrey's
3:51
coffee line which usually this is a hack
3:53
there's never anyone in this line a
3:54
little bit longer today cuz it's cold
3:55
can't imagine anyone getting a cold cold
3:58
brew today take look at this this is
4:00
like a new GE Highway in the sky porada
4:05
right there that's something
4:08
there I'm just going to get a hop in
4:10
latte that's my goto I also don't know
4:12
why I thought just after New Year's that
4:14
the crowds would dissipate but they
4:15
Haven it there's still a lot of people
4:17
here I'd almost put the put the hood up
4:19
there it's a little chilly so going in
4:22
on this I haven't decided if I'm going
4:23
to take the Montreal or the ferry boat
4:25
but I'll talk start off with the obvious
4:27
changes that are happening I think in
4:29
about 5 days 4 days 5 days on the
4:32
9th they are going to be doing away with
4:37
reservations are no longer going to be
4:38
needed if you are a ticket holder annual
4:41
passholders still got to get that
4:43
reservation but if you are buying a
4:45
ticket so if you're coming here on
4:46
vacation one day tickets things like
4:48
that you do not have to make a
4:50
reservation anymore reservations are
4:52
completely eras from existence here at
4:55
wdw after the night so 5 days as I am
4:58
filming this that will be from then on
5:00
and as far as annual passholders go we
5:03
still have to make reservations but they
5:04
are also going to be doing something
5:05
called a good to go days and with the
5:08
good to go days starting on the night
5:10
they haven't announced what days those
5:11
will be but they're going to be dumping
5:13
in a lot of non-reservation days on
5:15
there as well now honestly except for
5:17
the holidays it's pretty much always
5:19
possible to get a reservation as a
5:20
passholder so that's probably why
5:22
they're slowly doing away with them all
5:24
together for the ticket holders first
5:26
off and then I figur hopefully by the
5:28
end of the year they will probably do
5:30
away completely with the a with the AP
5:32
reservations as
5:34
well also on the night I'm pretty
5:36
excited about this there is no more Park
5:40
hopping time frame so right now
5:42
Disneyland I think is 11:00 a.m. you can
5:44
park hop here at Walt Disney World you
5:47
have to wait till 2: to park off so if I
5:49
went into Magic Kingdom I cannot go over
5:50
to another Park Until 2: but that is
5:53
going to completely change on the nth
5:55
meaning you can just go right into any
5:57
of the parks you go to any of the four
5:58
parks and then immediately scan in ride
6:01
one ride get a bite to eat and then hop
6:03
over to the other Park all the park
6:06
hopping time frames are out the window
6:08
starting on the night Park hopping is
6:11
back baby you know what's weird in all
6:12
the years I've walked through the TTC
6:14
little main area I've never noticed this
6:16
planter this is just this has probably
6:18
been here forever it looks like look at
6:19
the age of it this is almost as exciting
6:21
as the new Epcot planter that they just
6:23
put in where Fountain Nations was I mean
6:26
not really but yeah you know kind of the
6:28
same gentle thing all of these things is
6:29
a big step in the right direction I
6:31
believe even the Disney Dining Plan is
6:33
coming back very soon maybe even uh
6:36
probably even on the same time frame
6:37
that I was just stating about the park
6:38
hopping now I must be honest I am not
6:40
familiar with the Disney Dining Plan
6:41
I've never used it maybe I should start
6:43
looking into that as well but also last
6:45
year the late last year the trams came
6:47
back there's a lot of stuff still not
6:48
happening but it's all this stuff is a
6:51
step in the right direction heading on
6:52
to the Richard F Irvine across 7
6:56
Seas R the Micah has arrived you are
6:58
dressed appr hope you got your hands in
7:00
your pockets cuz it's chilly it's a
7:02
little chilly out here cold a bird are
7:04
you excited about the changes coming to
7:06
Disney World in 24 not all of
7:08
them I'm going to be sad to see Country
7:10
Bears got that one right there stung a
7:12
little it's like I mean Country Bears is
7:15
going to still be around name wise and
7:17
character wise but no more liver lifts
7:19
no it's kind of like getting rid of uh
7:21
gmom Gom and ghost true after all these
7:24
years let's say they just get rid of
7:25
that song you're like that'd be
7:26
interesting to see which songs they get
7:28
rid of and which ones they don't yeah
7:30
and the original recording sound is the
7:32
purity of the the show True good it's
7:35
like when they change the red I don't
7:36
care what she says or the um the
7:39
auctioneer I don't care what he says but
7:41
it's just a voice that's true yeah now
7:44
it's a h for a 10 yeah we have opted to
7:47
stay on the bottom floor just so we're
7:49
not in the elements of the wind the wind
7:51
chill up on the upper deck so we're
7:53
getting a different view CU normally I
7:55
would go up to the top deck but we are
7:57
kind of under here the nether regions
7:59
little little family of ducks over there
8:02
where the Ducks right there in the water
8:04
it's like the mom the dad the brother
8:07
and the
8:08
sister well I guess we can talk about
8:10
this being one of the first ones this is
8:12
supposed to open at the end of the year
8:14
the new DVC Tower at the
8:17
ply supposedly by year end I think fall
8:20
that's going to be open a little weird
8:23
definitely ruins this I call it the
8:25
eyesore for now it's kind of like the uh
8:27
the the Seven Seas eyesore but once they
8:29
get painted and fix it up it'll probably
8:31
look a little more beautiful and more
8:32
Polynesian themed hopefully cuz right
8:35
now it looks like alcatra
8:38
alcatra just kind of jarring when you
8:40
first see it but I'm starting to get a
8:41
little more used to it I know once they
8:43
put the paint on there they put the poly
8:45
themed and all the you know the
8:46
Polynesian vibe in there oh they got
8:48
some uh you got a seagull going by right
8:51
there trying to stay in the breeze and
8:53
obviously I will definitely be staying
8:55
there when that finally opens but
8:57
supposedly it's slated for fall of 2024
9:00
so I guess that'd be the first thing
9:01
other than the reservation system I just
9:03
mentioned that we can show an actual
9:05
footage of here of the the new stuff for
9:07
24 I don't know how many attractions and
9:09
rides we're going to be going on today
9:11
cuz it's very
9:12
busy we're definitely going to be
9:14
showing some
9:15
stuff going to head over to the former
9:18
Splash Mountain tian's valou Adventure
9:20
talk a little bit about that also HP
9:23
over to Country
9:24
Bears and then over to Hollywood Studios
9:28
once we park off at 2 so it'll be nice
9:31
when that 2:00 thing goes away on the
9:33
night also going to just talk about some
9:34
opinion stuff that hasn't been announced
9:36
some blue sky ideas as Josh tomaro likes
9:39
to say about the supposed villains land
9:42
that might be coming what's behind Big
9:44
Thunder Mountain which who knows I think
9:47
maybe could happen oh a Hitchcock would
9:50
be you proud man Tippy hedra I'm having
9:53
a Tippy hedrin moment right now goodness
9:55
gracious where are we at Bodega Bay
9:59
what the heck look at this this is looks
10:01
like cir oh wow oh not good there we
10:13
go all of them man I just recently
10:13
oh I just recently saw the birds on the
10:15
big screen so I'm kind of having
10:18
flashback no one else on this boat no
10:21
one else cares we have docked look at
10:23
all these coins down here also there's a
10:26
bird right
10:28
there
10:29
hundreds of dollars and quarters dimes
10:31
nickels and pennies there's a first
10:33
visit button over there that's faded
10:36
almost completely red pulling
10:39
into the
10:47
station you think they're going to end
10:47
up changing this I hope not look at this
10:49
I never realized this like Big Thunder
10:52
Mountain it's not the wildest ride in
10:53
the wilderness it's the wildest show
10:55
show I didn't know that I never realized
10:57
that either yeah liver lips is going to
10:59
be called
11:00
Romeo right Romeo
11:03
mcra maybe which character is this they
11:07

11:07
1928 I'm not sure I'm not sure big 's
11:11

11:13
these characters is going to get the
11:17

11:41
I going say that's going to get cut yeah
11:44
what about all the guys that turned me
11:45
on turned me down I don't think that's
11:47
that's probably not going to make the
11:48
the 24 Edition and in all honesty this
11:51
might be my last time popping in the
11:53
park where they have the Christmas decor
11:55
up cuz it's probably going to be getting
11:56
pulled down in a couple days so say get
11:59
by to the tree you know one thing I
12:00
noticed Here Disneyland has jimly the
12:04
cigar store Indian but here we just have
12:06
trash cans there's no jimly here I was
12:09
kind of noticing at that no jimly at the
12:12
the Main Street Cinema but this is where
12:14
this is where jimly Disneyland would be
12:16
all right going to cut through fantasy
12:18
land and make our way over to the
12:20
Riverboat I think we're going to do the
12:22
Liberty Bell and just talk about those
12:25
uh Blue Sky ideas I mentioned the d23
12:28
the last d23 not last year but the year
12:30
before it is very busy out again not
12:33
really doing any attractions or rides
12:35
today we're just kind of doing some
12:37
updates but it is 75 minute standby for
12:41
Haunted Mansion 75 minutes there it is
12:45
this is going to be the vessel to do a
12:47
little update from nice we got the
12:50
Festival of fantasy parade happening
12:52
down there the holiday parade is
12:54
over Festival of fantasy is back there's
12:57
Mickey and Min we're getting on the
12:58
river Bo now I have to hearken back to
13:01
d23 2022 which as far as the parks panel
13:05
the announcements is probably one of the
13:07
most
13:08
anticlimactic like worst Parts panels
13:10
which leads me to believe and I'm just
13:13
going to kind of make a statement I
13:14
think the 2024 d23 Parts panel which is
13:17
going to be happening out in Anaheim in
13:19
August I feel there's going to be some
13:20
really big announcements and I'm really
13:23
curious and I'm just going to kind of
13:25
throw it out there I feel as if they're
13:27
probably you know don't know for sure
13:30
but I would like if they would just kind
13:32
of go a little deeper into the
13:34
announcements of what could be on the
13:36
backside of Big Thunder Mountain
13:38
Railroad a whole patch of land back
13:40
there and I feel like that's going to be
13:42
one of the things for
13:43
d224 I don't really know putting that in
13:47
villains not Lou a villains layer not
13:49
layer but a villain's land land behind
13:52
Big Thunder
13:53
Mountain I mean if if expanding the park
13:58
I when I I think of Magic Kingdom I
13:59
don't think about villains being over
14:01
here they live in Cy land okay but
14:04
Hollywood Studios to me has always been
14:06
more of the villains Park I don't know
14:08
why okay I got you I'm all about the
14:10
park expanding so I think maybe I'm just
14:12
like overshadowing what it might be yeah
14:15
I honestly would love to see the
14:17
villains more so anywhere they want to
14:19
put them as long as it's not Epcot who's
14:21
your favorite villain Captain Hook Hook
14:24
all right I like hook uh I like carella
14:27
DeVille a lot carella's good like Ursula
14:30
I like the female villains more than
14:31
that M mam M from fla Stone okay I
14:34
always loved her I met I met her at um
14:37
Oogie Boogie and I think mad M of M was
14:39
stoked that I actually knew kind of who
14:41
she was and we talked for a long she
14:43
hammed it up it was awesome well if it
14:45
happens it'll be past tomser Island over
14:49
that way a big patch of land it' be
14:53
interesting to see how they come up with
14:54
it again these are all just rumors and
14:57
the reason I'm even mentioning in a 2024
14:59
video is because I feel as if there's
15:01
going to be announcement in August of 24
15:04
that it's going to be happening over
15:05
there and if not just disregard my
15:08
statement scratch that from the record I
15:09
think I'm think I'm like almost wedged
15:11
in I feel like Chris Farley in Black
15:13
Sheep when he's like voting he's
15:15
like not a lot of room did you watch the
15:18
d23 panel from 2023 no it was the most
15:22
it was not good that's what I he
15:24
announce anything we got spacehulk at
15:26
DCA a meet and greet and they announced
15:29
the figma meet and GRE that's right I
15:30
did see that yeah I saw like Twitter
15:33
posts and stuff you d23 no it's it's
15:36
it's a lot of
15:37
fun I watched the last one I watched
15:40
when they H said goodbye to movie ride
15:42
in a V way that was
15:44
2015 when they also announced was it
15:48
2015 was announced Star Wars land was
15:50
that 15 or 17 Star Wars land was 15 was
15:53
Movie Ride 15 or 17 movie Ride was 17
15:57
okay yeah that was sad yeah cuz I was
16:00
eating a pizza and I was watching it and
16:02
they were like a new Mickey ride is
16:03
coming for a Great Movie Ride and I was
16:05
like where's movie ride going no they
16:07
didn't announce Movie Ride they said a
16:09
new Mickey ride is coming and then the
16:10
artwork look like the movie riding
16:13
Vehicles right I was like I know where
16:14
that's going yeah and I was like wait a
16:17
minute and all the people I used to work
16:19
with that movie Ride Like blasted their
16:22
Facebook they're like that's it what are
16:25
we going to get at
16:26
24 time will that yeah maybe
16:29
villains you imagine Hercules being over
16:32
there I mean uh Hercules Hercules Hades
16:34
being over there next oh Hades is a good
16:37
villain Boris and Jasper we got we got
16:40
Hattie last year yeah that's something
16:42
we got in 23 and they have not set a
16:45
closing date for the current country
16:47
bear jeree but I am hearing is going to
16:49
be very
16:51
soon even possibly into early spring if
16:55
not before that we will be closing and
16:58
then they're going to be doing a massive
16:59
refurb and overlay changing the
17:01
characters changing the songs and it'll
17:04
be opening by the end of 2024 the new
17:06
version of Country
17:08
Bears going to miss the old one now
17:10
looking at the former Splash Mountain
17:12
it's kind of interesting how they put so
17:13
much Greenery around it because if
17:15
you've ever been to New Orleans in the
17:17
bayou there's not a lot of mountains so
17:19
they have to make it very
17:21
non-mountainous so kind of it's kind of
17:23
I don't know say bizarre but it's
17:25
definitely interesting how they have put
17:28
take it Splash Mountain and made it a
17:31
non-mountain even though it still looks
17:33
like a mountain you go to New Orleans
17:35
it's pretty
17:37
flat curious to see how that plays out
17:39
I'm excited CU I really do like Princess
17:41
and the Frog and I'm excited about it it
17:44
opening but I'm definitely curious to
17:45
see what they do with it over in
17:47
Frontier land you got Country Bears
17:50
which is changing at the End by the end
17:51
of the year and then you got this that
17:53
will be opening by the end of the
17:55
year and then obviously the blue Sky
17:59
which is what dearo called it Blue Sky
18:00
ideas what lies behind Big Thunder
18:04
Mountain if you look at satellite view
18:06
there's a whole heck of a lot of land
18:08
back there but how would you get back
18:10
there would everyone be routed through
18:12
here would there be a huge bottleneck
18:14
around the back time will tell and
18:17
that's that's it if it even happens yeah
18:19
like really the last half hour of d23
18:22
last year was
18:23
just a few a few of the Big Wigs kind of
18:26
just talking about what could happen
18:28
what was on the drawing
18:31
board look at all that land back there
18:33
all that over
18:35
there and here got the little
18:38
scaffolding up there a lot of greenery a
18:41
lot of greenery on the side of that
18:43
mountain also the Tiana water tower has
18:46
been constructed as well do you ever
18:48
stay up late at night wondering what's
18:50
behind Big Thunder Mountain Railroad you
18:53
do right you always yeah me too that's
18:56
what they told me at d23 yeah the train
18:59
obviously the train track I mean they
19:00
might reroute it and let's be honest
19:03
some of the scenes over here the Native
19:05
American stuff it's really cool it's
19:07
what we know but it's not like as
19:10
extravagant as
19:12
Disneylands you know Disneyland railroad
19:15
is something just so special the blue
19:17
dot is where we are on the boat going
19:19
around so there's Big Thunder and then
19:21
look at all this green space down here
19:24
so the blue dot is moving cuz the boat's
19:27
moving but basically you just have a
19:29
little Bridge there you got all that
19:32
footprint right
19:47
there I do like how the majority of what
19:47
I've already talked about is stuff that
19:49
hasn't even been announced for 24 I'm
19:51
just talking about hearsay yeah for
19:52
announcements that might come so let's
19:54
actually let's actually get into some
19:56
stuff that actually is is has been
19:59
completely
20:01
confirmed let good to throw some
20:03
opinions and hearsay and speculation and
20:06
uh you know in thoughts because if it
20:07
does come true you can look back on this
20:09
and go told
20:11
you again if it doesn't happen scratches
20:14
from your
20:15
memory C here at Country Bears showing
20:18
some of the artwork wonder if the
20:19
artwork will change also don't know what
20:22
that noise
20:24
is like coming out of the speaker right
20:26
there like like a whistle
20:41
blower big
20:41
out I wonder if blood on the saddle will
20:44
remain hope they keep blood on the
20:46
saddle oh they got the country bear ooh
20:49
ooh I need to get one of these before
20:52
look at this so you got liver lips right
20:54
there all $1 each are all eight for five
20:58
five bucks you get all eight so liver
21:00
lips is not going to be called liver
21:01
lips McGraw anymore he's going to be
21:03
called
21:04
Romeo and I don't know if some of the
21:06
other ones like cousin Zeb is he going
21:08
to stay Big Al so you can get $1 each or
21:12
all eight for five maybe I
21:15
should I don't know maybe I should get
21:18
them with all the
21:21
names all right I think they're e
21:23
backing this cuz I think something's
21:25
wrong with the
21:25
Audio I try to get this before uh get
21:29
out of here it's not working all right
21:31
got it to work $5 all8 pennies go the
21:35
reason I'm doing this cuz I remember how
21:37
Splash Mountain the pins were there was
21:39
like a 2hour wait for the Splash
21:42
Mountain pins and they're on the last
21:44
day and I don't know when the last day
21:45
this is going to be so I'm going to go
21:47
ahead and do it cuz I feel like it's
21:48
going to kind of be the same through
21:50
here as well oh dropping the pennies
21:52
down here all right I got all eight of
21:55
them including liver lips right here
21:59
a bu
22:02

22:35
former splashes and I got to say the
22:37
line for Big Thunder is very very
22:41
lengthy one thing that'll be kind of
22:43
neat when finally they reopen the the
22:46
tias over here but this gift shop will
22:48

24:03
style Disneyland F sure kind of sort of
24:06
but it also kind of has like a '90s Vibe
24:08

the dinosaur attraction is going to
25:10
close and tough to be a bug inside the
25:12
tree of life it's going to close there's
25:15
also heavy rumors that Indie might take
25:17

that's been confirmed yet but both of
25:21
those attractions of Animal Kingdom by
25:23
the end of the year will be shut
25:26
down at least us least that's what the
25:28
rumor mill say all right getting that
25:30
from the monreal view of the new poly
25:33
DVC Tower opening later in 2024 showed
25:37
it from across the Lagoon now showing it
25:40
from the Montreal beam and you got the
25:43
Polynesian Resort proper there and then

27:30
to that it's always nice to see like a
27:31
little overlay on Star Tours it's been a
27:33
while since they changed it up so that's
27:35
going to be kind of cool to see her on
27:37
there and uh what's going to end up
27:38
happening to Star Tours here and for I
27:40
think it's also happening at Disneyland

27:58
little little bottlenecking through here
27:59
where the Sci-Fi Diner is going down
28:03
towards where Grand daav is the former
28:04
streets of America in New York half yeah
28:07
if you look down that way you can just
28:08
see how many people are crammed into
28:10
Grand da also construction happening
28:13
right over here to the side there where
28:15
there used to be like a little little
28:17
snack stand you got the Muppets I'm kind
28:19
of glad the Muppets are staying around
28:21
but yeah look at Grand da right now that
28:24
is a beehive of activity all right
28:26
there's a group of people waiting on
28:27
something is the rank we're going to
28:28
walk out of here oh no it's
28:31
Manda it was Manda there he is he's got
28:34
grou with
28:41
him all right we cut through Toy Story L
28:41
first went through Galaxy's Edge and
28:42
then through pass through Toy Story Land
28:44
we're going to cut around through pass
28:46
around wood man's dream around the
28:48
backside of the Chinese Theater and over
28:50
to where the little mermaid stage show
28:52
attraction is which is getting revamped
28:54
soon will be opening in 2000 there's a
28:57
theme Here opening what's new in 2012
29:00
all right I was just talking about this
29:02
how she's going to be doing the overlay
29:04
uh where she's going to be the main
29:06
theme in the character over on Star
29:08
Tours and also right over here in the
29:11
former animation Courtyard so you got
29:13
launch bay over there which used to be
29:15
the animation building now originally I
29:17
thought that they were going to like
29:18
kind of tear a lot of this out this is a
29:20
really big footprint they have just
29:22
announced that they're going to be
29:23
turning this building which is the
29:25
Voyage of the Little Mermaid into to The
29:28
Little Mermaid a musical Adventure which
29:31
means that this sign is going to be
29:32
completely taken down revamped rechanged
29:35
it's no longer going to be called Voyage
29:38
of the Little Mermaid it's going to be
29:39
called The Little Mermaid a musical
29:41
adventure and they have not really
29:43
leaked out anything or nothing's been
29:45
really disclosed on what the show was
29:47
going to be like but I would imagine
29:48
it'd be very similar to the original I
29:50
don't know if it's going to be the
29:52
liveaction version or if it's going to
29:54
be the animated late 8s classic that the
29:57
original The Voyage of little mermaid
29:59
show was based on but either way I am
30:01
really looking forward to this this is
30:02
going to be opened again and more
30:04
excited not only that this but that the
30:06
fact that this little Courtyard is going
30:08
to have new life breathed back into it
30:11
and possibly maybe some of the gift
30:12
shops back around the corner will reopen
30:15
again that' be nice like right up here
30:17
these doors have been closed for a long
30:20
time I mean you can see how even look
30:22
how kind of dated these are where this
30:24
goes around the corner kind of slides
30:26
down all has been closed kind of
30:29
stretches down to here and there's
30:30
another gift shop over here that
30:32
actually has called the studio store
30:34
which they've been they used during the
30:36
Christmas season when they did Jolly
30:38

30:39
stuff in here but this used to be a gift
30:40

31:26
to be the animated class or the
31:28
liveaction show I hope it's the animated
31:31
live action the animated live action
31:34
