0:02 welcome everyone
0:02 out of the woo here as the recording of
0:05 This November 17th a Thursday 2022 also
0:09 the 44th anniversary of Life day I am
0:12 wearing an appropriate t-shirt kinda
0:14 sorta because this is a Star Wars Day
0:17 May the fourth be with you shirt
0:19 but I consider today to be the Christmas
0:23 version of that and I believe others are
0:25 starting to also formulate their mindset
0:28 with that
0:30 now the reason life day exists is
0:32 because the Star Wars holiday special
0:33 which aired today back in 1978 a
0:36 follow-up to what is now known as A New
0:38 Hope because we just called Star Wars
0:40 back in my day
0:41 before Empire Strikes Back In fact in
0:44 that holiday special which you can kind
0:46 of find there's there's some vert
0:48 there's some episode not episodes but
0:50 versions of that floating around out
0:52 there onto the interwebs was the first
0:54 appearance of Boba Fett granted in
0:56 animated form
0:57 so there is some good stuff about the
0:59 about the holiday special not a whole
1:01 heck of a lot though it's pretty much
1:02 unwatchable unless you like seeing a
1:04 train
1:05 go go off of a cliff
1:08 heading over to Hollywood Studios to
1:10 Batu East and I'm gonna see what they
1:13 have Disney has now embraced this with
1:15 merchandise
1:16 oh
1:18 let's see what else I got I'm inviting
1:20 you to join me I was gonna say up their
1:22 sleeve I'm wearing a sleeve today too
1:23 because the weather is nice out here it
1:25 is nice here in Central Florida join me
1:29 shall you and the premise of the holiday
1:33 special was Chewbacca wanting to get
1:35 back to his family
1:37 to celebrate there
1:39 their holidays
1:41 so hopefully I'll be able to see
1:42 Chewbacca today
1:44 and tell Chewbacca happy life day happy
1:48 holidays
1:49 and a Holly Jolly Merry Christmas
1:56 I think Santa might Santa or these
1:56 snowmen or maybe the skunk
1:58 celebrates today too
2:01 maybe I don't know we'll put words in
2:02 their mouth now at this time frame which
2:04 is 2 20 P.M
2:18 I-4 Westbound looking really smooth and
2:18 to be completely honest I don't know
2:21 how much activity will actually be
2:23 taking place back in here I know they do
2:25 have new merchandise
2:27 for a lifetime I don't know if they have
2:29 anything else special planned if there's
2:31 any special Foods
2:33 but anytime I could be inside Batu for
2:35 an event
2:37 I just love being back there at Galaxy's
2:39 Edge
2:44 Disney's Hollywood Studios formerly
2:45 MGM Studios obviously
2:49 Skyliners running over there
2:51 golf cart going by but it's kind of
2:53 interesting that the trams have not
2:55 returned yet both the studios and Epcot
2:58 the other two parks they have now it
3:01 appears as if there is a special
3:02 alcoholic drink flight that's happening
3:04 over at Olga's Cantina
3:07 so I won't be getting that later on I
3:08 don't even know if I'd be able to get a
3:09 reservation in fact most of the
3:11 reservations for Hollywood Studios were
3:14 booked up today it's pretty busy oh
3:15 there's chewy over there walk underneath
3:18 the bottom of the Falcon but behind me
3:20 is Docking Bay seven there are two new
3:23 snack meal items there that I'm gonna
3:26 get but right now it's lunch time and
3:28 there is quite a bit of people
3:31 over in the line so I'm going to wait
3:33 just a little bit later
3:35 after the rush after the lunch rush has
3:38 ended there's chewy walking by
3:50 and if I remember correctly which
3:50 probably not remembering correctly
3:52 Rancho Roasters used to sell coffee but
3:54 I can't find anywhere look at the mobile
3:56 app either with Docking Bay or ratos
3:58 that sells piping hot caffeinated
4:00 beverages or maybe they never did and I
4:02 just thought they did so probably what I
4:04 will do also this is the the back
4:07 portion of the engine of a Pod racer the
4:09 theming through here so I hate to break
4:11 it to you Droid
4:13 this is not
4:15 food stand I'm looking for
4:17 I might have to go get a thermal
4:19 detonator Coca-Cola
4:22 oh okay thank you all right I purchased
4:25 six dollars for the
4:27 I'm holding a thermal
4:30 Coca-Cola with a destroyed a slumbering
4:34 to the Coca-Cola Droid stand right here
4:36 just took a sip Twisted the top off
4:39 pretty dang tasty just like I remembered
4:41 it I mean it tastes just like Coca-Cola
4:43 obviously but now I'm walking over into
4:45 the marketplace
4:47 they have any merchandise Thor said like
4:50 oh this is interesting this over here is
4:53 closed this little snack area is all
4:56 closed off
4:58 life day merch I'm on a quest yeah I
5:02 just realized also I kind of have a the
5:04 same coloration of the Coca-Cola here
5:06 because red is what Chewie's family
5:09 wears when they sing the we celebrate a
5:12 day of peace a day of Harmony
5:14 which is what Carrie Fisher Princess
5:16 Leia's character is singing over the
5:19 Star Wars theme it really is quite an
5:22 interesting thing you've seen chewy
5:23 wearing the red
5:25 the red outfit there and there's a
5:27 little pop figure and wear it right
5:30 there Chewbacca all the time
5:38 not sure what flocked means but yeah and
5:38 over here in the corner are lots of
5:40 plush chewies with the orb
5:43 you're supposed to walk around singing
5:44 with the orb just like Chewbacca and his
5:47 family did Carrie Fisher
5:50 singing that song
6:02 I'm gonna say the words life day a lot
6:02 in this video and next to the porg
6:04 keychains there are take a look at this
6:07 they have the new magic fan plus the
6:10 brand new ones for the event as well and
6:14 date stamp 2022 so I kind of like it's
6:18 kind of nice when they date stamp
6:19 something so if you were to wear it in
6:20 future years you could look back on and
6:23 say I was there on on the actual day of
6:26 that year not just a vague and an entire
6:28 the entire full Road you have there or a
6:31 hooded sweatshirt with the family joy
6:33 and Harmony on it that's 54 bucks it'd
6:37 be interesting to see if this is for
6:38 today only or if this is going to be
6:40 something over the course oh it actually
6:42 says life day on the side of it there
6:50 I don't know how much this hurts
6:50 I'll see a price tag on this
6:54 I don't know how much it is but they
6:56 have they have caps also okay I've
6:58 discovered the price
6:59 49.99 in fact I thought this was a
7:01 blanket but this is the robe so so
7:04 purchase this you don't get the one on
7:06 the hanger there you get one of the ones
7:07 in here so it's 49.99 for that
7:17 look how cute
7:17 Chewies
7:19 well that's not chewy that's chewy slime
7:20 there
7:23 celebrating together this is the whole
7:24 family
7:25 well Chewbacca family whole Wookie
7:27 family and the hat
7:31 it's right over here where they have all
7:32 the Sith and Jedi robes man should
7:35 probably show Boba Fett too because he
7:37 was in that special as well in fact they
7:38 used to sell a plush a couple years ago
7:40 that was from the holiday special I
7:43 don't see I don't see that that huge
7:46 because like it was like a different Hue
7:47 in the Life Day special which was a good
7:49 possibility that maybe he's sold out so
7:51 he got Yoda over here this isn't Kroger
7:53 this is Yoda
7:54 is this just grogu we're just Yoda down
7:56 here oh yeah there you go there's grow
7:59 good okay I was thinking maybe Boba Fett
8:01 was down in there for the holiday
8:02 special but yeah it appears this year
8:04 they do not have the plushes of boba
8:07 Troopers
8:20 it's a nice pot of bread
8:20 I think the bubbles are kind of
8:22 softening it
8:25 where'd you get those it's waiting on
8:28 kylo render shot did he get those
8:30 bubbles in there walked over to the
8:32 resistance area now to see if they have
8:35 some of the little stands that are over
8:37 here I don't really see too much new
8:39 items over here too much I believe they
8:41 had this before which is kind of the
8:43 indoor
8:44 indoor outfit like rain Pasha it's
8:47 pretty awesome these are some misting
8:50 fans down here I could see myself
8:52 wearing this here
8:53 oh that's interesting I don't think I've
8:55 ever seen it referred to as BSO
8:56 Blackstone look I mean I've heard black
8:58 spider Opera I've never seen my BSO
9:01 nothing on the back
9:10 there's some trays that were special for
9:10 today
9:11 over at docky Bay are not at Batu East
9:14 not in Florida only in California a
9:19 pasta and a stew
9:22 I'm looking at the entrees here and
9:25 there is not the special holiday special
9:27 life day pasta or the stew just the
9:31 traditional options
9:34 California you win this one it's
9:37 interesting how both coasts are not the
9:40 same I don't know if there's any
9:42 specialty food other than the alcoholic
9:43 flight beverage over at Olga's Cantina
9:47 which I don't drink so it doesn't really
9:49 apply to me but I was kind of hoping to
9:50 get both the food options but it seems
9:52 It's only bad too West that has it
10:00 got a little hazy and foggy over here
10:00 Smoky over here oh look the Troopers are
10:03 down there
10:04 causing up a little bit of a stir I went
10:06 ahead and ordered some food anyway I
10:07 ordered a salad
10:09 and a Pokeball and another Coca-Cola
10:14 there's Troopers down there up to no
10:17 good I wonder where the smoke is coming
10:20 from I went with the Pika
10:23 tuna poke right there and also the
10:25 roasted andoria chicken salad
10:27 have some they have some specialty
10:29 drinks too but none of these are
10:30 specialty for today it's something they
10:31 have pretty much all the time even
10:33 though I believe the tuna poke bowl is
10:35 relatively new I think it came out I
10:37 don't know six months ago or something
10:39 I'm gonna get that
10:41 I always like eating here and this
10:44 is a soda but this is what we're dealing
10:48 with or two entrees I forgot the chicken
10:51 salad was gonna have this much chicken
10:52 on I think it was supposed to be mostly
10:54 like a salad and a couple pieces of
10:56 chicken but there's a good amount of
10:57 chicken on there and then of course the
11:00 tuna Pokey salad as well in a big
11:03 lettuce slate
11:05 over here so no specialty food here for
11:09 this particular event for this signified
11:11 day they have merchandise but they do
11:13 not have any specialty food here on the
11:16 East Coast only the West Coast which is
11:18 interesting
11:19 a little ranch on there some Tomatoes
11:22 some chicken
11:40 also it is very busy here today I've
11:40 stated that already but just to
11:41 reiterate
11:43 85 minutes
11:46 standby for Smugglers 125 minutes for
11:50 rise and if I stepped off Planet over to
11:54 the other areas of Studios 120 Minutes
11:57 that's a matte Penfield time frame for
12:00 Slinky Dog it's busy I always love the
12:03 theming in here
12:05 this 1980 is a reference obviously to
12:08 the year that Empire Strikes Back came
12:10 out
12:12 dangling from the roof line inside here
12:15 and then a Carbonite freezing chamber
12:41 all right thanks for the info
12:44 I will not divulge any of it to anyone
12:46 your secret's safe with me all right
12:51 oh I didn't know that that's a that's a
12:53 nice additional fact there thank you
13:02 all right take care nice talking to you
13:02 over inside the Droid Depot got some
13:06 item check this out over here this is
13:07 like an apron kind of similar to what
13:10 Harvey Horman wore in that special the
13:12 78 special it was a stir stir stir dip
13:16 dip dip stir stir stir dipster dipster
13:19 dip sir I don't think I've ever seen
13:22 this either
13:24 this is kind of neat too this is a bb-8
13:26 pot holder right here
13:29 yeah that kind of I mean it's a stretch
13:32 this is not specifically for the holiday
13:34 special but yeah Harvey Corbin won a lot
13:41 I also like this ig-88 sweatshirt I
13:45 don't think I've seen that before either
13:46 I'd wear that
13:57 and it's kind of surprising for this day
13:57 of the week a Thursday that is this busy
14:00 here I was gonna go over here to Star
14:01 Tours but it'll be a 50 minute wait just
14:04 to do on Star Tours because I do really
14:05 like the Ewok village and the ad at
14:07 that's out in front of the Ewok village
14:08 and all that but I'm just kind of
14:10 looking for some short wait times around
14:11 the park and there really aren't in
14:13 there it is really busy especially for a
14:15 Thursday and I highly doubt most the
14:18 people here are because of Life day and
14:21 should also point out inside Tatooine
14:23 Traders they have some new merchandise
14:25 some Ewok Christmas this isn't
14:27 technically for the specific day but
14:29 it's for the entire Christmas season
14:31 some Ewok ugly Christmas sweaters as
14:33 well as some other items throughout
14:35 Tatooine Traders including a Christmas
14:37 holiday Droid of sorts you give yourself
14:40 a hollow holiday Droid all right I found
14:42 a place where I can mobile order some
14:44 coffee located right over here at Pizza
14:47 Rizzo over there mobile ordered some
14:49 coffee so I'm not gonna get any pizza
14:50 because I just ate or a little bit ago I
14:53 think I'm gonna get myself a coffee
14:54 though from the city's top right rated
14:56 pizza at night it's illuminated rat
14:58 Pizza true story definitely is not as
15:01 good as Joffrey's I'm team Joffrey's
15:03 when it comes to wdw stuff but just the
15:05 the house blend they have at other
15:06 places I mean I'll do Starbucks but I'm
15:08 definitely I'm definitely team Joffrey's
15:10 as far as the flavor goes but this will
15:12 do the trick I could not find earlier I
15:14 could not find anything over here in
15:17 Galaxy's Edge as far as coffee so gotta
15:20 stuff off planet
15:22 for some reason like I could have swore
15:23 they had coffee in here before there's a
15:25 lightsaber photo up over here and also
15:27 is this the first day of the photo op
15:28 this is all right time traveler you see
15:31 my magic band yep
15:33 happy life day thank you
15:35 there we go all right awesome you can
15:38 put my coffee down
15:44 now I had heard that that magic moment
15:44 photo op might happen
15:46 longer than today but I just talked to
15:47 the cast member he said is today and
15:49 today only look at that Sunburst there
15:51 that's a nice little effect I gotta see
15:53 if the photo has dumped into my My
15:55 Disney Experience you know I'm sure I've
15:57 noticed these before in the Creature
15:58 Shop over at the marketplace a lot of
16:00 you have forgotten possibly I was so
16:02 preoccupied with all the creatures on
16:04 ground level but I didn't see all the
16:06 bird cages interesting bird cages that
16:10 are in here very very interesting and I
16:12 believe some of these items have been in
16:14 here for a while but this one here this
16:17 pencil set
16:19 I don't think I've ever seen that pencil
16:21 set or this little like knapsack oh
16:24 they're salacious right there oh look at
16:26 this there's like a bunch of Miniatures
16:28 of salacious and his little buddy over
16:30 there and up on the Shelf this has to be
16:32 the most terrifying Ewok I've ever seen
16:41 that Ewok right there if you saw that
16:41 Ewok out on the street somewhere and he
16:44 was not smiling he would probably run
16:48 the other eye that is on something out
16:50 of a horror film I don't know why it's
16:52 frightening to me I've now stopped
16:54 inside of doc ondars
16:58 Doc is over there are doing a little
17:00 inventory a little Counting for all the
17:02 items that are in here
17:08 take a look at this creature with the
17:08 eye right there you got the Sabers down
17:11 there I need to get another Legacy saver
17:13 at some point I haven't decided which
17:14 Legacy paper I want to get yet the only
17:16 one I have is returning the Jedi ignite
17:19 the green Luke Skywalker I kind of
17:22 attempted to buy the real Legacy saber
17:23 Vader there's so many options A
17:26 continuing series of a continuing
17:28 pattern I always kind of like to show I
17:31 call it what's new in back two it could
17:35 be either East or West this is
17:37 designated as a shoulder pad but first
17:39 look at it looks like something Alex De
17:40 large from Clockwork Orange or wear over
17:43 his nether regions yeah that's
17:44 interesting to only sell one of them
17:46 kind of curious
17:48 is it is there another one around the
17:50 back no it's just one
17:51 is that really a shoulder pad I always
17:54 just like being in here and looking
17:56 around at all the artifacts that doc has
17:59 collected over the tenure of his
18:01 lifespan this thing will rip your arm
18:04 off in an ice cave if you're not you're
18:05 not careful
18:14 how awesome is the theming here in
18:14 Galaxy's jumbo cups
18:29 those dang Troopers are everywhere
18:29 they're everywhere out here now I walked
18:32 over to the Chinese Theater which of
18:34 course now used to house The Great Movie
18:35 Ride but now it houses Mickey mini
18:38 runaway Railway but if you look down
18:39 here there is something from six months
18:41 after the park open the park open summer
18:43 of 89 but in December of 89 C3PO and
18:47 R2D2 put their hand prints and their
18:49 feet print while their feet prints right
18:51 here on the ground yeah I've just been
18:52 kind of wandering around waiting for a
18:54 Nightfall to rear its head because I
18:55 feel like after dark maybe some
18:57 lightsabers will come out back in Bat
18:59 too so I'm just for now I'm just kind of
19:01 wandering around the park and what do
19:03 you know Pizza Rizzo's to the rescue
19:04 again my phone is about out of juice I'm
19:07 gonna get my buy myself a fuel Rod once
19:09 you buy one for 30 you can replace it
19:11 over and over and over again and fuel
19:13 rods are kind of nice they just kind of
19:14 tuck in your pocket so I'm gonna go
19:16 ahead and just purchase a fuel up for 30
19:17 that is two times today this rat Rizzo
19:21 the rat has come in handy and I think
19:24 it's nice about this too it has
19:25 different accessories I have an iPhone
19:26 so you can plug it in charge it up just
19:29 keep it cozy in your pocket and then
19:31 when it's time for a new one it's a free
19:32 replacement or at least at least it used
19:34 to be I haven't bought I haven't carried
19:36 a fuel rod in a while but
19:38 sometimes I just get tired of my phone
19:39 kind of running out of juice also look
19:42 at these cups right here that's kind of
19:44 nice little retro I don't think they
19:45 sell these I think this is just for
19:47 display as well as these yo-yos are keep
19:50 it moving
19:57 they have definitely been on patrol
19:57 today see there's one up there right in
20:00 the corner another Trooper up there in
20:01 the corner I haven't seen Chewie out too
20:04 much I saw him once underneath the
20:05 Falcon earlier but Chewie has been way
20:07 of loaded eye but the Troopers have been
20:09 all out and about now the Troopers are
20:12 Troopers are going Chewie's Out imagine
20:15 if Chewie had one of his red robes
20:36 we apologize for the inconvenience
20:36 once again our missions have been
20:38 suspended resistance
20:41 things like rise of the resistance went
20:44 down it is now what I would consider
20:46 dusk
20:48 the Sun is going down and Nightfall is
20:50 almost upon us
21:04 oh there's a BBH no we're even going
21:04 towards the fountain yeah I'm really
21:06 hoping here very soon that a lot of
21:08 Savers come out starting to see quite a
21:09 few people with the red robes on for the
21:12 day but all in all it's been pretty
21:14 mellow but I'm hoping now that Nightfall
21:16 is out it starts to get a little
21:19 a little Wilder one thing that is very
21:22 noticeable Disneyland on the west coast
21:24 does a lot more than Central Florida
21:28 does for Life day and there are groups
21:30 out there or organize things online to
21:33 try to get people showing up more than
21:36 there is here now it happens here but it
21:38 is definitely a lot more noticeable out
21:41 there with regards to the food over at
21:43 Doc eBay more options there at least
21:45 have the merch here so you never know
21:46 over time and that obviously out in
21:49 California that is more of an AP an
21:51 annual pass holder Park their annual
21:52 pass holders here but it's more of a
21:54 touristy thing so you don't get quite
21:56 the the community of batuians might not
22:00 be as
22:01 as intense for a lifetime but I think
22:03 that will change over time so I'm
22:05 definitely noticing a difference I've
22:06 never been to a life day here I've only
22:07 been to the ones out there now she's got
22:10 the full on lightsaber twirl going on
22:12 there nice I mean they do have the orb
22:15 photo op look at this
22:17 Jedi or a Sith so you just bought the
22:19 parts from the Droid Depot and then just
22:21 painted it and customize it yep
22:28 it's awesome thank you does he have a

23:24 in there life day of works one thing
23:27 that is pretty neat about Galaxy's Edge
23:29 even at night even when there aren't
23:31 events like this there's always Sabers
23:33 out always savers
23:42 oh goodness the Falcons have a son
23:42 maintenance issues
23:59 and at this point I think I pretty much
23:59 showed everything that's happening
24:01 Nightfall has already happened
24:04 it's about 7 P.M right now it gets dark
24:06 really early check out the lights up
24:07 there popping up above the Chinese
24:09 Theater I think I'm gonna go home and
24:13 watch The Life Day special I have a copy
24:16 of it I showed some food
24:18 non-specialty food Anaheim has that
24:20 especially food here but I had some
24:22 delicious food from dockingbat Strode a
24:25 vast amount of merchandise showed a few
24:27 people who showed up with some of their
24:29 orbs lightsabers things like that and I
24:32 walked a lot today I need to check to
24:33 see how many steps I walked I walked
24:35 around Batu East over and over and over
24:38 just trying to find
24:40 something that we would jump out at me
24:43 and go hey I'm right here I'm life day
24:46 but there wasn't a whole heck of a lot
24:47 even though there are a lot of people
24:49 from the community out here in you know
24:51 in their outfits dressed up I don't call
24:53 it cosplay or costumes but more or less
24:56 that's pretty much what it is with their
24:57 lightsabers having a good time it's
24:59 always a good time in here interesting
25:01 thing is a few years ago I think it was
25:03 three years ago the first year I believe
25:05 it was that Galaxy's Edge was open in
25:08 Anaheim when it fell on this day
25:10 November 17th of that year and
25:13 on a whim I went there for Life day
25:17 thinking there something might happen
25:19 little did I know is going to be one of
25:22 the best events that happened in Star
25:24 Wars that I've ever been to
25:26 blew my mind how Wild it was this today
25:31 completely the opposite yes things
25:34 happen
25:35 it was a good time but nowhere near what
25:39 I expected
25:41 just saying all right I'm gonna head out
25:43 look up there lurking in the trees it's
25:46 an ad app at the Ewok village tucked
25:49 away over there that thing is awesome
25:52 right there especially at night I always
25:56 love Yeah The Parks at night is Just
25:57 Awesome I think Galaxy's Edge is special
25:59 you know especially looks better at
26:00 night than it does during the day
26:01 granted this is not in Galaxy's Edge
26:03 this is out over here you know as you're
26:06 walking kind of like where the former
26:07 streets of America was is but yeah oh
26:10 look at that
26:13 nice my PhotoPass
26:16 pictures just showed up not sure why it
26:18 has the watermark I have the no blackout
26:21 Full Pass
26:23 I guess I probably gotta link it up
26:25 if they've changed the policy since then
26:26 I took two photos shouldn't have the
26:28 watermark in there but hey you're seeing
26:31 it with the watermark

26:37 have the incredi pass which includes
26:39 water parks no blackout dies parking
