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

8:48
those are guests the line starts here
8:51
and wraps all the way around this

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
9:18
