0:52 park hopping
0:53 2 p.m over to mk but first epcot
0:58 the continuation the second day of
0:59 dapper day weekend it is gonna rain
1:02 well i'm no meteorologist like pat sajak
1:05 was at the start of his career but just
1:07 assuming by the cloud formations the
1:09 cumulonimbus up there
1:10 also this is the 10th anniversary of
1:12 dapper deck i didn't realize that until
1:14 until this morning if you look way
1:16 across the parking lot you'll see some
1:17 tramps as well as some
1:19 minivans which are not or yeah the
1:21 minivans
1:23 kind of a play on words minnie mouse and
1:25 their vans
1:27 neither one of these are being utilized
1:31 at the moment
1:32 and no word on when the trams will come
1:35 back
1:36 pulling into the parking here at epcot
1:38 center that's how i still refer it
1:40 as welcome everyone adam the woo here
1:43 this is my
1:44 casual dapper ensemble
1:47 for the day different
1:50 new facial covering as well which kind
1:53 of
1:54 matches the the top little bow or the
1:57 little ribbon there
1:59 on the cap i'm inviting you to join me
2:02 for a fun day i also brought from my
2:04 umbrella just in case
2:06 when you bring it it doesn't rain when
2:07 you don't bring it it does right
2:10 no scientific evidence for this but
2:13 that's usually how it works
2:14 i'm inviting you to join me also which
2:16 way should my my cat be
2:18 tipped might should be like this should
2:20 i i can't figure
2:21 okay that works shall you there's quite
2:24 a bit of
2:25 quite a bit of a line here for opening
2:29 rope drop well not really rope dropping
2:33 the microphone the cast member has the
2:34 wind is even affecting that that's what
2:36 the sound is
2:37 already a lot of people in line for
2:39 photo pass i might have to come back to
2:40 this one they are doing quite a bit of
2:42 construction
2:43 in fact they've actually added part a
2:45 section to the extended cue actually
2:48 i could take these off for photos and
2:49 since no one is around
2:51 get there in all my my outfit here with
2:53 my hat still don't know which way
2:54 angle to have the hat with this
2:57 beautiful
2:58 iconic structure behind me snapped a
3:00 couple of these as well i can't tell if
3:02 i like it better with
3:04 glasses off there i am
3:07 thinking the phoenicians in my mind or
3:11 you know that's a good one too or the
3:13 glasses on
3:15 as well yeah can't really decide
3:19 and it's not just all the folks that are
3:21 dapper the fountain is also looking very
3:23 beautiful with this new addition here
3:24 which i am very content that they
3:26 brought this back
3:27 very old school looking in fact i have a
3:29 photograph of me my mom and sister
3:31 sitting on the very edge right over
3:32 there way back in the day
3:34 if i had to guess that would have been
3:35 mid-90s and check out that vest
3:37 i'm wearing yeah i was very fashionable
3:39 back then more fashionable back then
3:41 that i am now look check out those acid
3:43 wash jeans and mickey mouse look at this
3:45 the big cheese is out looking
3:47 very very dapper as well with this bow
3:48 tie and there's many over there
3:50 you can see that everyone has scattered
3:52 to the we're out of the inclement
3:53 weather now photopass
3:55 is doing photographs over there so
3:57 everyone has kind of scattered luckily i
3:59 have this
4:00 very gargantuan umbrella which is
4:03 helping and then people have gone over
4:04 to spaceship earth
4:06 there is no one in front of the fountain
4:08 and spaceship earth now usually everyone
4:10 is lined right up here for photo pass
4:12 but not right now oh man mickey and
4:14 minnie are now
4:14 heading out good to see you mick and men
4:17 good to see you
4:19 i ended up utilizing the photo pass cast
4:21 member that was kind of tucked away
4:22 under the
4:23 shade from the elements but i did ask
4:25 can i stand out into the rain with the
4:28 umbrella he said yes
4:29 got some good photos with really no one
4:32 behind me no one in front of the
4:33 fountain no one in front of spaceship
4:34 earth doesn't happen too
4:36 often during these downpours i gotta say
4:38 that turned out really really
4:40 really good that's the that's that's one
4:43 this is another i'm go i'm doing the
4:45 the i don't know pose if it's gonna ever
4:47 stop stop
4:48 precipitating yeah that's good i think
4:50 the first one though is my
4:52 definitely my favorite look at that i
4:54 believe that's it
4:55 it was a doozy in fact i just had i even
4:57 had to put my umbrella away
4:59 and i am now drying it off down here and
5:01 i have found a nice little spot i always
5:03 like these benches
5:04 that you have right when you go in here
5:05 so once actually i'm gonna get up now i
5:08 think i'm gonna start
5:09 continuing the day and walking around
5:11 epcot center and after the rain
5:13 the crowd has started to show up
5:14 including danny 702
5:16 i thought i was casual dapper you were
5:19 full on casual dapper day number two
5:23 and i thought it was gonna rain and i
5:25 didn't want to get a dress you know
5:26 that's probably a good idea
5:28 it did rain you missed the rain it's
5:31 it's a great big beautiful tomorrow
5:32 and you have your umbrella also that's
5:34 good just okay
5:36 for the rest of the day though yeah i
5:37 think we're good too also
5:39 should mention when i was going around
5:40 world showcase i went by the dapper day
5:42 stand where they have lots of different
5:43 items they have merchandise
5:45 they have t-shirts they have the little
5:47 fans they even have
5:48 an assortment of pens all kind of
5:50 different paraphernalia and speaking of
5:52 pens i ended up purchasing
5:53 one of said pins that i'm now going to
5:55 wear on my pocket on my outfit and this
5:57 is it right here
5:58 this is my dapper day spring 2021 pin
6:01 gonna grab a bite over here at sunshine
6:04 seasons in the land pavilion down on the
6:06 bottom floor
6:07 directly below these balloons that are
6:10 up here
6:10 dangling from the ceiling all right food
6:12 is ready and this
6:14 is what we're dealing with this is a
6:15 rotisserie chicken got some rice
6:18 got some beans here i got the gogo
6:22 squeeze which i'm pretty fond of this is
6:24 the apple flavored
6:26 got some pasta salad and also pasta
6:29 with a layered and thick cheesy goodness
6:32 mac and cheese
6:33 and what'd you get danny i got the kids
6:35 rotisserie so a little drumstick some
6:37 rice and the pasta salad
6:39 also came with a choco milk choco milk
6:42 very nice what's the name of that rabbit
6:45 i don't know
6:46 nestle and here is the location of the
6:48 dapper pen that i have placed on my
6:50 pocket
6:51 i'm just noticing i really like this
6:52 shirt however i don't drink alcohol
6:55 and that's what it looks like it would
6:56 be like it almost seems like they cut
6:57 the coconut open
6:58 and put the alcohol on there but i also
7:01 don't like coconut
7:02 so i was just thinking about that
7:05 mention it in danny's video
7:06 and then i thought she mentioned in my
7:08 own video
7:10 because it's but i liked your shirt i
7:13 should ask you since you're here what do
7:14 you think which way you think it looks
7:15 better the hat this way
7:17 the hat tilted this way or just just
7:20 just like straight on like that really
7:23 straight like that yeah
7:26 it's very jurassic parkish okay i
7:27 remember in raiders i lost ark
7:30 indy took a nap for a moment and he
7:33 put his hat down like this and i always
7:35 remember that
7:36 and i want to go into nap mode when i do
7:39 that
7:40 if i eat enough of this mac and cheese
7:42 we'll be sleeping
7:44 now if the epcot loop monorail was
7:46 running we could take that over to magic
7:47 kingdom however it's not so we're going
7:49 to take our separate vehicles and
7:51 do a little park hopping that way and
7:53 there's some strong rumors in the air
7:55 people mover will be opening this
7:57 afternoon so could be
7:58 could work out of course i've been
8:00 saying that for the last couple days all
8:02 right
8:02 just the news has just broken people
8:05 mover

8:48 those are guests the line starts here
8:51 and wraps all the way around this
8:53 direction but it
8:54 is happening looks like they're only
8:56 loading up about half of the ride
8:58 vehicles one in the front one in the
8:59 back now that one appears to have one in
9:01 the front one in the middle and one in
9:02 the back so they are they are definitely
9:04 separating every other cart on the ride
9:06 vehicle
9:06 i don't believe i've ever seen the
9:07 people mover line stretch all the way
9:09 back over
9:10 by by buzz lightyear before yeah the
9:13 line definitely wraps around say
9:15 probably a good
9:15 30 40 40 minute wait give or take
