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

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

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

26:37
have the incredi pass which includes
26:39
