Transcript

0:03 Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here. As
0:03 the recording of this Tuesday, July 15,
0:07 2025, I'm about to depart my homestead
0:10 here in Celebration, Florida, make my
0:12 way to the Orlando International Airport
0:15 where I will not be utilizing the
0:17 international gates. I will not be
0:19 leaving the country on this trip. I am
0:22 going to Los Angeles, LAX, MCO
0:27 to LAX, and then from there, arriving
0:30 much later this evening. It's an 8:00
0:33 flight out of Orlando.
0:35 Lose or gain 3 hours going westward,
0:38 probably a 5-h hour flight, putting me
0:40 there around 1000 p.m. California time,
0:43 which would be 1:00 a.m. Florida time.
0:47 If you've kept up with that, pretty
0:49 simple to to figure out for me
0:51 especially because used to international
0:53 with the jet lag going all the way
0:55 across the world one way, all the way
0:57 across the world the other way. Paris is
0:58 a long way that direction. Well, which
1:01 way am I standing? Paris is a long way
1:03 that way. South Korea is a long way that
1:06 way. Both completely different massive
1:09 time zones. So, I can handle 3 hours.
1:11 I'm inviting you to join me. It's a
1:13 travel day, flight day. I do not have a
1:16 window seat sitting on an aisle seat.
1:18 So, we'll be filming out the side of the
1:20 window. Film some other things. Also,
1:22 we'll be checking into the Disneyland
1:24 Hotel later this evening. Probably
1:26 around 11:00 by the time I land and get
1:29 over to the Disneyland property.
1:31 Checking in. I'm staying at the DVC
1:32 Resort, Disney Vacation Club wing if you
1:36 will, the new tower of the Disneyland
1:38 hotel. So, I'll give a room tour and all
1:40 that and just see where the day and or
1:43 night and time change leads. Join me.
1:45 Long intro, shall you? This luggage has
1:49 definitely seen pretty good aspects of
1:52 the world so far. Been utilizing this
1:55 for a while now. Used to have a DVC
1:57 backpack, Disney backpack. It kind of
1:58 wasn't all that great for storing
2:00 things. This I like a lot more. Has lots
2:03 of pockets, lots of cushion, fits a lot
2:06 of stuff. And then I of course I got
2:08 this, which has really been useful. This
2:11 thing has seen some miles and some
2:15 walking and some very dirty, nasty
2:19 airport and/or city sidewalks. In fact,
2:22 when I get home, I always will teeter
2:26 this up on the side of either the couch
2:28 or like a a stool or whatever. And I
2:31 will spray the bottom of the wheels with
2:34 Lysol because those are probably the
2:36 filthiest wheels on Earth
2:40 till I Lysol them. I've just gotten
2:42 dropped off, took an Uber. In the past,
2:45 I used to drive my car and then park
2:49 on site and then I just started taking a
2:52 ride share.
2:53 Kind of works out to be about the same.
2:55 It depending depending on how long
2:57 you're gone. Sometimes if you park
2:58 offsite over by the 7-Eleven offsite and
3:01 take the shuttle over it's like $15 a
3:03 day. So if you're gone for a week that's
3:05 like what $100. Uber ride here, Uber
3:07 ride back probably cost you about the
3:10 same. But if you're gone longer than a
3:12 week is obviously cheaper to do ride
3:15 share.
3:17 And there's just peace of mind knowing
3:18 that
3:20 the car is in the garage
3:23 and not somewhere else. All right,
3:26 heading in.
3:32 Oh, you know, last time I was here,
3:32 whenever that was, this was out of
3:34 service then. Still is. Oh, no, it's
3:37 not. That's a It's a They uh Okay, it's
3:39 not true. That's a falsehood.
3:41 Originally, I had another flight this
3:43 morning at 10:00 a.m.
3:46 Opted out of it. Wow, there's a lot of
3:47 red up there.
3:51 There's a lot of delays.
3:54 Originally, I was going to fly out at
3:55 10:00. Last night, I hung out with my
3:57 parents. It's still pretty late. They
3:58 were still staying at the Riviera,
4:00 celebrating their 56th wedding
4:02 anniversary. They stayed there a couple
4:03 nights. So, I went over there last
4:05 night, swam around the pool at the
4:06 Riviera, my mom and I. And then
4:09 afterwards, my mom, my dad, and myself,
4:11 we watched the Home Run Derby cuz it's
4:13 the couple days of the All-Star game. In
4:15 fact, the All-Star game is tonight,
4:17 which is going to work out pretty good
4:18 because when I'm on the flight, the
4:20 All-Star game will be on ESPN and Delta
4:22 has ESPN on the TVs in front of me. So,
4:24 I'll be able to watch that the whole
4:25 flight to LA.
4:29 Where am I going here? I know I'm going
4:30 to LA, but 8:10 p.m. right there. That
4:34 says on time. Okay. Yeah, the two at the
4:37 bottom. There's one at 7:06 a.m.
4:41 in the morning and then one tonight at
4:43 8:10 p.m. Yep. 7:30
4:47 is loading.
4:53 It's 555 right now. Look at that on the
4:53 nose. 555. Doesn't look too bad in here.
4:56 The line's not too bad.
5:00 Yeah, it'll be nice to watch baseball on
5:04 a TV in front of me. Normally, I'll have
5:05 to connect to the Wi-Fi and use the
5:08 streaming platforms I have to watch the
5:09 Ray cuz they're hardly ever on, you
5:11 know, ESPN and stuff on the planes.
5:16 But the Ray's got four players in the
5:18 All-Star game this year.
5:24 Jonathan, let's see if I remember this
5:24 correctly. Jonathan Ronda,
5:27 Junior Cavaniro, Drew Rasmusen,
5:31 and Brandon La. I think Brandon's on the
5:34 IIL though, so I don't know if he'll be
5:36 playing, but he's there. Junior came in
5:38 second place last night in the All-Star
5:40 game. The Rays
5:42 almost had their first winner in an in a
5:44 home run derby. That's what I meant to
5:46 say. Came really close, taking it, but
5:48 came in second place. Not bad,
5:50 especially when the announcers at the
5:52 very beginning beforehand had him pegged
5:55 to come in seventh place out of the
5:56 eight people. They didn't give him any
5:57 credit, but he did prove everybody
5:59 wrong. Love it. Gate 72. I've gone
6:02 through the checkpoints.
6:04 You no longer, at least in the US, I
6:07 don't know about other countries, but
6:08 here in the US, no longer have to take
6:11 your shoes off. I can leave my Crocs on.
6:15 I always try to do travel days in Crocs.
6:26 It's a little more. Oh. Oh,
6:26 72.
6:27 It's over here somewhere.
6:38 Okay, let's look at here. Los Angeles.
6:38 It's not even on there.
6:46 Maybe on the next one. Oh, here we go.
6:46 Right here. Here it is. Right there.
6:47 Gate 72. I think I waited a grand total
6:50 of about 3 minutes to go through
6:52 security. Very quick.
7:00 Please stand clear of the doors and hold
7:00 on to the handrails.
7:02 >> Everybody else exited off. Walking off
7:04 now through this little corral over here
7:08 and heading into my gate section.
7:12 Little chocolate bars down here have
7:14 different different moods that you can
7:16 choose when you're eating the chocolate
7:18 there. And of course, you know you're in
7:21 Florida when you can get a Choco Gator
7:24 and some gourmet saltwater taffy with
7:26 the Florida map on it right there.
7:30 I always like all the gummy stuff.
7:34 How about a slime licker? Can lick some
7:37 slime. Gummy frog. Oh, gummy shark. I
7:40 like that. Never seen that one before.
7:42 I'm always fascinated by all the gummy
7:43 products.
7:52 And lots of gummy bears, horos
7:52 saw a lot of those when I was over in
7:54 London,
7:55 early in England. Pretty prominent
7:57 there.
8:07 There you go. There's an old Nintendo
8:07 NES controller.
8:09 I have about another hour till my flight
8:11 boards. Could go to Starbucks or I could
8:13 just walk up in the Delta lounge and get
8:16 a cup of Joe. I think that's what I'm
8:17 going to do. I'm going to get a cup of
8:18 coffee up there.
8:20 Walk up the stairs to taking the
8:22 elevator.
8:23 No food on the agenda before the flight,
8:25 but coffee would be good.
8:38 The different times over here. Tokyo, S.
8:38 Paulo, Orlando, Paris, and Los Angeles.
8:42 Look at that. Going to Los Angeles. And
8:43 I was just in Paris. It's kind of a kind
8:46 of appropriate this is on the wall cuz
8:48 I'm here at Walt Disney World area. You
8:51 know, Orlando's known for their Disney,
8:53 Walt Disney World. I got Mickey Mouse
8:55 here by Walt Disney right there. And I'm
8:57 heading to LAX and then down to Anaheim
9:00 to Walt's original Magic Kingdom. Got my
9:03 coffee there. Got my napkin there. And I
9:06 got my seat right here. Got a little
9:08 time. There's also a photo of some
9:11 flowers.
9:17 All right, heading out now. Also, they
9:17 got these stansions here on the way out.
9:19 Going back, kind of head over to my
9:20 gates. Shout out to World of Micah,
9:22 which wearing one of his hats. End up
9:25 ordering one of his hats. World of Micah
9:28 I always like to
9:31 wear ball caps at friends of mine, but
9:32 he is the reason ago we did a video
9:35 talking about MGM Studios history years
9:37 and years and years ago, and he was
9:39 describing the word stansion. I know I
9:41 misuse it, but I never had heard that
9:43 word until he told me. So, roll the mic
9:47 is the reason I started using the word
9:48 stansion, and now I use it completely
9:50 incorrectly. All right, this is gate 74.
9:53 Gate 72 is right over here. My plane
9:55 should be arriving soon. Boards in 20
9:57 minutes. You know, I see a worker over
10:00 there with the little batons and the the
10:04 light up
10:07 little handheld light up what do you
10:08 call those? Not flashlights, but little
10:10 light up batons. So plane's probably
10:12 pulling into the station now. This is
10:14 74.
10:16 Mine is at 72. They also do not sell gum
10:20 at MCO. Some airports sell gum. This one
10:23 does not sell gum. So just because like
10:26 to keep your ears from popping. It's
10:28 always good to chew on, you know, chew
10:30 on something to get your jaw moving. So
10:32 I went with high chew cuz you can chew
10:35 high chew. It's not as good as gum when
10:37 it comes to keeping your ears from
10:39 popping with the elevation and the
10:41 takeoff. And it's usually the takeoff
10:43 and the landing, but forgot to bring
10:45 gum. So, got some Hi-Chew from one of
10:47 the little little stands. All right,
10:49 there it is. Pulling into
10:52 the station.
10:54 Delta.
10:55 Been racking up some airline miles with
11:00 I never really chose an airline until I
11:03 guess about a year ago. At the end of
11:05 last year, started using Delta. Happy
11:07 with it. Haven't had any major issues. I
11:10 mean, I had some issues, but in
11:11 comparison to some other airlines that I
11:14 use, been doing pretty good with uh with
11:16 Delta. Pretty pretty content with being
11:18 a
11:21 Skyline member. Is it called Skyline
11:23 member? I have the AMX card that's
11:25 linked up to the points and I use that
11:26 for everything. Gives me airline miles,
11:29 etc.
11:32 And I do fly other airlines, but the
11:34 majority of the time it's usually on a
11:35 Delta flight.
11:44 Be boarding momentarily over at 72. This
11:44 is 73. I did ask if they possibly had a
11:47 open seat that I could switch over to
11:49 the window seat. Said no. Full flight.
11:52 >> We're watching the All-Star game as soon
11:54 as the plane takes off. It starts at
11:56 8:00 p.m. Eastern Standard, Florida
11:58 time.
12:01 Also, speaking of the Rays,
12:04 who have four guys in the All-Star game,
12:07 >> there is a very heavy strong rumor. I
12:09 think it's even confirmed that Stu
12:11 Sternberg, the owner of the Rays, is
12:12 selling the team and they're going to be
12:15 staying in the Tampa St. Pete area.
12:16 That's the rumor mill. And it's even
12:18 more than a rumor. I think it's locked
12:20 in. They're just saying they're not
12:22 going to make the official announcement
12:23 for like another month. But it pretty
12:25 much seems due to the hearsay and
12:27 speculation online that it's a done
12:29 deal. Steu Sternberg, the principal
12:32 owner of the Rays,
12:34 selling the Rays, and hopefully the next
12:36 person that's going to own it is going
12:38 to put a little more money into it,
12:40 build a new stadium, they stay in Tampa.
12:42 Be great if they went to Orlando, but
12:44 Tampa be better than St. Pete for me.
12:47 Anyway,
12:48 >> this has been baseball talk.
12:51 >> I'm standing at the gates that's going
12:53 to Atlanta. If I wanted to, I could just
12:56 jump on the plane and go catch the last
12:58 couple innings of the All-Star game,
13:00 which starts about an hour flight up
13:01 there,
13:03 but I'm not. I'm going to going to LA
13:05 and then to Anaheim. But it'll be nice
13:07 to watch the game on the flight comfort
13:11 of my seat.
13:22 >> 3C is where I'm sitting. three seats as
13:22 if possible. We'd appreciate it.
13:25 >> We're going to ask you to place your
13:26 smaller name.
13:27 >> All right. Evidently, the Allar Games
13:28 not on ESPN, it's on Fox, but they have
13:30 that here as well.
13:31 >> Ask you to tip your bag on it like a
13:33 book. These bins are quite large and
13:36 that will allow more room in each.
13:42 Please review the expert responsibility
13:42 downpouring outside
13:44 >> and the safety information card located
13:46 in your seat pocket. If you do not meet
13:48 these criteria, do not wish to perform
13:49 these responsibilities. Have a condition
13:52 which prevents you from performing or
13:54 you might suffer bodily harm. Should you
13:56 perform these functions, please contact
13:58 your flight attendant for receiving at
14:00 this time.
14:01 Our flight time to Los Angeles is 4
14:03 hours and 28 minutes.
14:04 >> Notice we look at the rain equipment. Uh
14:07 there's a pretty big cell coming across
14:08 the field. Everything's fine down here.
14:10 Um we're we're in no danger sitting in
14:12 the aircraft here. Um if we were, I
14:14 would get you guys off right away. So uh
14:16 but um the problem is that the they
14:18 can't be on the jump ridge uh at this
14:20 time. So we're going to suspend
14:21 boarding. It's going to take a little
14:22 while. Um we're up at the flight deck
14:25 listening to the air traffic controllers
14:26 talk to the airplanes in the air that
14:28 are trying to land. They're getting all
14:29 kinds of just horrendous weather. Um but
14:32 this moves really quickly this time of
14:33 year coming through here. If you've
14:34 flown out of um South Florida this
14:36 summer before, uh it should be maybe 30
14:39 40 minutes. We'll be uh moving along. Um
14:42 it'll take a little bit of time for air
14:44 traffic control to clean up the aircraft
14:45 that are going to get uh stuck on the
14:46 ramp or up in the air. Uh but we'll get
14:49 you out of here quick as safe as you
14:50 can. Um as the situation unfolds, I will
14:52 let you know. I'm going to go give the
14:54 same update to the folks up at the uh
14:55 gate who are uh not on board with us. Um
14:58 and I'll let you know if anything
15:00 changes. going to restart the time or
15:01 not, but um they're going to drive up in
15:03 about 10 minutes and uh it sounds like
15:05 once uh we get going, it should not end,
15:08 but we should be able to proceed to the
15:10 runway and take off relatively quickly
15:12 without much delay. Um the air traffic
15:14 controllers just told a couple airplanes
15:15 that are waiting off um on the taxi way
15:19 uh that um they should not inspect
15:22 expect too much um what they call trail.
15:24 It's the space between uh aircraft as
15:27 they depart, number of miles. Um they're
15:30 not expecting very much entrail spacing
15:32 today. So uh hopefully once everything
15:34 gets going, we should be able to get on
15:36 our way and um you can get moving.
15:38 Appreciate your patience and uh we will
15:40 update you as soon as we have more
15:41 information.
15:42 >> Devices may be secured on you or in your
15:44 seat pocket and larger electronic
15:46 devices like laptops must be sewed into
15:47 a bag not in seat pockets.
15:50 If you are seeing the eancies, please
15:51 review the exit seating criteria and
15:52 responsibilities of the safe information
15:54 card in your seat pocket. If you do not
15:55 meet these criteria, do not wish to
15:57 perform these responsibilities, have a
15:58 head condition which prevents you from
15:59 performing or feel badly harmed, should
16:02 Elijah.
16:04 >> Say hello to everybody, but the um uh
16:07 for some reason they were doing some
16:08 maintenance on the PA system. I could
16:10 talk to you. So, in any case, uh welcome
16:12 our flight over to Los Angeles today. Uh
16:14 my name is Scott, your captain. Both me
16:16 is George. He and I are going to fly
16:17 over there in about 4 and 1 half hours
16:18 to take off touchdown. Uh there's a
16:20 bunch of weather in the area here. It's
16:21 maybe a little bumpy in the departure,
16:22 but once we get over the Gulf, uh
16:24 there's a little bit of weather to go
16:25 around out there. There's an aircraft
16:26 left Tampa about an hour ago. We've been
16:28 getting uh we have like an aircraft text
16:29 messaging system. We've been getting
16:31 messages from them. They say the ride's
16:32 not bad. So, I I have a good feeling
16:34 we're going to get the seat belt sign
16:35 off for much of the flight. I would ask
16:37 in return with the seat belt signs on
16:38 you stay seated with your seat belt
16:39 fastened. Seat belt signs off. Feel free
16:41 to get up and stretch your legs. Move
16:42 out the cab. Use the laboratory if you
16:43 need to. Just keep your seat belt
16:44 fastened when you're seated in case we
16:45 experience any unanticipated dr air. Uh
16:47 we do apologize for the delay tonight.
16:49 Of course, this is weather related.
16:50 There's not much we can do about that.
16:51 We're keeping you guys safe. We'll get
16:52 you there as quick as safe as you can.
16:53 Uh it's going to be just a few more
16:55 minutes as we uh I know everybody's
16:56 boarded up. We're all ready to go. Uh
16:58 the ramp is just a little bit behind.
16:59 They um like I mentioned before, they
17:01 close the ramp whenever there's any
17:02 lightning. They just got back out here
17:04 and uh they have a few aircraft to work
17:06 on. There's some uh ramp crew here at
17:07 our aircraft. Uh they have not loaded
17:09 the jet bridge bags yet. So it's going
17:11 to be a couple of minutes, but we're
17:12 going to get you there, I guess, as
17:13 quick and safe as you can. In the
17:14 meantime, I think what we're going to do
17:15 is uh bring some water to the cabin in
17:17 case anybody needs a quick drink of
17:18 water. Um guys been sitting here for a
17:20 little bit so we try to take care of
17:21 you. Uh as we get a little closer to Los
17:23 Angeles with the current weather gate
17:24 we're going to park. I will try not to
17:25 bother you too at your flight. Thanks
17:28 for lost.
17:28 >> You continuing to trust us with your
17:30 travel before we depart. Please direct
17:32 your attention to the video screens for
17:34 a brief presentation of the safety
17:36 features of our aircraft. If your video
17:38 monitor is
17:38 >> Send a text anyone picking up in Los
17:40 Angeles. Our new arrival time will be
17:42 approximately 11:20 to 11:30 p.m.
17:45 Original arrival time was 10:25. Looks
17:47 like we'll be about 1 hour behind.
17:49 Flight attendants, please prepare the
17:50 cab for departure.
18:48 And this just happened again. It was top
18:48 of the ninth. American League was down
18:51 by one. I think they scored, but then it
18:54 froze up.
18:56 Oh, wait. It's back on.
19:03 Yeah, the National League ended up
19:04 winning it. It was tied up in the ninth
19:06 and then it went into a eliminating home
19:10 run derby, which they've never had in
19:11 the All-Star game. And the National
19:13 League won because they got one extra
19:15 one more home run than American League
19:18 in the home runoff.
19:20 That's pretty interesting.
19:23 About halfway there. Now, if I wouldn't
19:25 have been sitting on the at the gate for
19:28 2 hours, probably would be landing soon
19:32 or landing in a half hour. Still got 2
19:34 and 1/2 hours to go.
19:54 So, I just recently watched the first
19:54 Paddington
20:01 when I was in England, but I have not
20:01 seen actually I went to Paddington
20:04 Station,
20:10 but I have not seen the sequel
20:10 Paddington in Peru. So, I'm going to
20:12 give that a watch.
20:44 All right. Finished Paddington in Peru
20:44 with 11 minutes to spare. 11 minutes
20:48 till landing. Well, now 10 minutes till
20:49 landing.
22:32 anyone who is not one of those
22:32 passengers to remain seated and allow
22:34 those about 20 passengers to exit the
22:37 aircraft first and then we can all begin
22:40 the deplanning process. I would greatly
22:41 appreciate it. We'll be arriving here at
22:43 gate 26 alpha momentarily. And once
22:46 again, please remain seated unless
22:48 you're one of the passengers trying to
22:49 make that uh interview.
22:50 >> If you're not going to be, this isn't
22:52 affecting you at all. They're going to
22:53 make everybody stay on the airplane
22:54 until the medical personnel I'll get
22:56 here. Either way, uh but we're trying to
22:57 get these folks off. If you're standing
22:58 on the aisle, I'm really sorry. This is
23:00 getting a little bit hectic, but uh
23:02 we're going to get you off of here as
23:03 quick as we can.
23:50 It's 10 minutes till midnight SoCal
23:52 It should be 10 minutes till 3:00 a.m.
23:55 Florida time.
23:57 Supposed to land at 10 p.m.
24:17 All right, off the plane 3 minutes after
24:17 midnight. So 2 hours and 3 minutes.
24:21 So evidently there was a
24:30 medical issue on back of the plane. Also
24:30 it was only like maybe 10 minutes.
24:36 It was getting out of Orlando late. It
24:36 was a 2-hour delay,
24:39 but I made it. Good to be here.
24:59 Okay. You can't order an Uber from the
24:59 horseshoe area of the drop off or the
25:03 pickup area.
25:05 The arrivals area. That's the word I'm
25:07 looking for at LAX. You have to get on a
25:09 bus and then go off property. Well, out
25:13 of the main airport area, I should say.
25:15 Then you order an Uber or a lift over
25:17 here. So, it's kind of a whole process,
25:19 but I've ordered it and should be here a
25:21 few in a few minutes, five minutes, and
25:23 then I'm on my way from LA to Anaheim.
25:25 There shouldn't be any traffic. It is
25:28 12:34 right now.
25:30 I am glad to not be sitting in a seat
25:32 because I started boarding 30 minutes
25:35 for the flame plane was going to take
25:36 off and then 30 minutes after that when
25:39 the plane was going to take off. I think
25:42 it was almost 2 hours before we took off
25:46 and then it was a 5 hour flight. So,
25:50 7 hours 7 and 1 half hours sitting.
25:54 >> Good to be good to be stretching my legs
25:58 till I get in an Uber. It'll be sitting
26:00 for another half hour. But if it was
26:02 rush hour traffic, it'd probably be an
26:04 hour and 15 minutes to Anaheim, but be
26:07 smooth sailing, I'm pretty sure. And
26:09 I'll check in my hotel.
26:12 Get some shutye. See the L control tower
26:15 right there.
26:43 property hund times. Stayed here quite a
26:44 few times, maybe even walk through this
26:45 property more than hundreds of times
26:48 over the years, just walking through
26:49 Downtown Disney and walking over into
26:52 the lobby of the Disneyland Hotel. And
26:55 I've never seen it this empty. Didn't
26:58 see anyone with the exception of cast
27:00 members. A couple cast members at the
27:01 check-in desk, a couple of the other
27:03 workers that were maintenance and
27:07 scrubbing the had the little Zamboni
27:10 scrubbers that were kind of going
27:11 around. Other than that, I didn't see
27:14 anyone even when I went in the over to
27:16 the discovery tower into the lobby. So,
27:19 out of the main area, which is where the
27:21 check-in is, as you get your keys, head
27:22 over, and you go to the Discovery Tower,
27:25 and there's like a lobby there as well.
27:27 No one in there. Just empty couches,
27:30 empty seats,
27:32 very, very late nighttime vibes without
27:35 any guests or anything. It was I mean,
27:39 the music was on and everything. It was
27:40 a kind of almost like kind of eerie in a
27:43 way where there was like not one person
27:47 other than a couple workers. I was the
27:49 only guest that's up at this hour
27:51 because it's very very late. It's also
27:54 interesting as well because because I'm
27:56 a Disney Vacation Club member and one of
27:58 my home resorts is the Disneyland Hotel
28:00 DVC Tower. I was able to book this room
28:03 11 months out and I booked it exactly 11
28:06 months out knowing that the demand was
28:09 going to be very popular because of the
28:11 Disneyland 70th anniversary
28:14 week. and I wanted to to check in on the
28:18 night of the 15th
28:21 and it's been 11 months ago and that 11
28:24 months went by at the blink of an eye.
28:26 It's amazing how quickly time goes.
28:30 But I'm inside the hotel room now and
28:32 this is the the room tour
28:35 of the villa at the Disneyland
28:38 Hotel Tower.
28:40 It's pretty nice. It has a Murphy bed
28:42 that pulls down. So, this is a couch
28:45 here, and you got the little ottoman and
28:47 all that. But that Murphy bed will pull
28:49 down into another bed. And this is the
28:54 the main bed that's not a Murphy bed.
28:56 It's it's a completely stationary one
28:58 that doesn't go anywhere from this
28:59 point. And it has a nice little
29:01 headboard with a castle there. I'll turn
29:02 that off in a minute so I can show you
29:04 the view out the side.
29:07 And then you got some artwork over here
29:10 as well. I got my bags all all put down.
29:13 You got a little seat there. You got a
29:16 little welcome home package
29:19 as well. It says gift inside. It's a
29:22 little 8 by10 piece of artwork there of
29:25 the castle all adorned with the 70th
29:28 bunting and artwork or uh banners I
29:31 should say.
29:33 I like the tile work here. This is one
29:35 of my favorite resorts to stay at. Alani
29:38 being number one, but I really like the
29:40 Disneyland Hotel DVC tower simply
29:42 because of how close to proximity it is
29:45 to Walt's original Magic Kingdom. Got a
29:48 Curig over here.
29:51 Oh, even got some 70th blend. Very nice.
29:53 It is amazing that the 70th is here.
29:57 Where's the time gone? I lived here back
30:00 in 2015 when the 60th was going on. That
30:03 was just such a such a great time.
30:08 It's hard to believe that was 10 years
30:09 ago.
30:11 Little microwave.
30:13 You see current time right there. 1:26
30:18 a.m. which is a few minutes off. It's
30:19 actually 1:34 a.m.
30:22 You got the
30:24 fridge there. Mini fridge.
30:31 Got a couple
30:31 nice little uh
30:34 I call these like like shower robes. I
30:36 guess they're just lounge robes. Some
30:38 artwork down in there as well. Now, the
30:41 first time I stayed here was many years
30:42 ago. My mom and I stayed here when we
30:45 were coming back from trip to Hawaii.
30:49 Wow. Is that open or what? In fact,
30:50 does. You got some extra pillows and
30:52 blankets. You got the safe.
30:54 Got a steam iron right there. But when
30:57 we stayed here, this is right when the
30:59 resort first opened.
31:01 This was a mirror right here. And it was
31:05 very difficult to figure out how to pull
31:07 the mirror across. And they have since
31:09 changed it. If my memory serves correct,
31:11 this used to be a mirror that slid
31:14 across and it was so difficult. I think
31:16 the first day I stood stayed here,
31:19 neither one of myself or my mom could
31:21 figure out that there was a closet
31:23 behind that mirror that slid over. So, I
31:25 think they've since adjusted that.
31:36 Big TV there.
31:36 Another mirror here. You got the
31:38 facilities in here. Nice sink. Nice
31:42 mirror.
31:44 Very beautiful. Very nice. Got the
31:46 walk-in shower
31:48 with a waterfall style shower
31:52 nozzle there.
31:59 Yeah, it's a great spot.
31:59 I'm pretty tired. Probably going to turn
32:01 in. All right, so here's the view. Turn
32:03 the lights off in here just to get a so
32:06 you don't get the reflection. This is
32:08 kind of neat. Look at this. This window
32:10 here, I never noticed this before. Has
32:12 like
32:14 like some tinting on it to where it
32:16 looks like you're going through some
32:17 some kind of a a tunnel of sorts. Look
32:21 at that. That's kind of a neat effect. I
32:23 don't remember that from previous stays
32:26 in other rooms. So, you look over here,
32:28 it's not there. Then you look this way
32:31 and it is there. Wow, that's wild.
32:35 And I have a poolside view
32:39 right down below.
32:42 That's a pretty good view. Stayed in a
32:44 numbers number of rooms here. I stayed
32:46 in this little building down here once
32:48 on the bottom floor in the corner. Very
32:50 bottom floor in the corner. And these
32:52 are really nice because you have an
32:53 outdoor kind of private lounge and
32:55 nobody can get to. However, once the
32:58 morning starts, the music is so loud by
33:01 the pool that when you're in your room,
33:03 you hear it. So, I don't know if I'd
33:05 ever want to stay in there again because
33:07 if you're in the room, you want some
33:09 peace and quiet, you don't really get
33:11 it. Where in here, you stay in the main
33:13 area.
33:15 You're high up up away from from all of
33:19 that.
33:21 Yeah, this is the newest part of the
33:22 tower,
33:24 the fourth tower. You can see the
33:27 check-in area over there.
33:29 And then the parking is over there on
33:31 top of the roof over there, which I
33:33 don't have a car this time. I'm just
33:35 Ubering around, ride sharing around.
33:36 There's Mickey down there. Steamboat
33:38 Willie
33:41 right down there. a splash pad, pool,
33:45 hot tub, and then the neighborhoods of
33:48 Anaheim
33:49 right over there, right over the hedge
33:52 back into the real world.
33:57 All right, that's going to do it for
33:57 today. Thanks for watching. I am glad I
33:59 made it. It's a late night,
34:03 tuckered out, and I'm ready to slumber.
34:05 Thanks for watching. I'll see you in the
34:06 next video. The vlog is over.
