0:30
caffeinated beverage and check out The
0:32
Original Pancake House there's a couple
0:34
of them but this one is in an old house

0:39
why it's called the original I'm
0:40
inviting you to join me and then just
0:42
see where else the rest of the day goes

few days but right now just ride sharing

1:38
sit in the back but this driver
1:40

3:33
was the same town I needed to be
3:36
in Original Pancake House parking so
3:38
this is inside an old
3:41
house I ate here back I think in 2020 is
3:44
I was doing a food series that I ate
3:46
here but I have not been here since
3:48
there are a couple of these
3:51
around but this one is the only one in
3:55
old style house
4:04
open 6 to2 established
4:04
1958 so they do close relatively early
4:07
so don't try to show up here for
4:25
dinner all right inside this says eat so
4:25
I think I'm going to eat I'm not usually
4:26
a big breakfast guy like there's one in

5:06

5:12
the skillet I might get an omelette and
5:14
then maybe
5:16
a stack of pancakes buttermilk
5:26
pancakes blueberry
5:26
pancakes I get some blueberry pancakes
5:33
more throw one at my head okay oh no
5:33
that's way that's plenty yeah thank
5:40
you so I asked for some hazelnut and he
5:40
said I need more creamer than this I
5:42
think that's definitely plenty of
5:44
creamer usually put one of these in in
5:46
there look at this they have little uh
5:49
souvenir mugs
5:53
here authentic genuine goodness with the
5:56
mug
5:57
sauce I'm excited I like like I again I
6:00
hardly ever eat breakfast usually I
6:01
don't eat a lot during the day and then
6:03
I eat a lot at
6:04
night do a lot of intermittent fasting
6:07
where I don't usually eat breakfast as
6:09
much and then I'll do like a little
6:10
snack midday and then a large dinner
6:13
today I'm doing breakfast got to get in
6:15
here before two because they close it
6:21
too I don't know if this was done on
6:21
purpose so these are the blueberry
6:22
pancakes but this does kind of resemble
6:25
a Hidden Mickey here maybe because it's
6:27
Anaheim Disney or maybe I just
6:30
uh maybe it's just in my head but
6:32
usually a stack like this is usually
6:35
stacked up in a three stack not not done
6:37
like
6:39
this I also ordered an omelette as well
6:44
this usually I don't get blueberry but
6:46
this time I got blueberry and it comes
6:48
with a little extra blueberries on the
6:50
side here and butter
6:57
and I push the pancakes aside here's the
6:57
omelette look at this thing
7:00
this is the meat lovers omelette with
7:02
three different
7:16
second did you really drop me off a half
7:16
a mile from here and then showed up I
7:17
wanted a pancake that slightly resembled
7:20
Mickey Mouse but not
7:27
quite I'm never ordering another Uber
7:27
ever that's the last time
7:31
going to wrestle this into Disney
7:32
content well yours was stacked up and
7:35
now you formed them into a hidden mix no
7:37
no mine was like the M no mine was sort
7:39
of like this and I said you are so
7:41
desperate for Disney content that you
7:43
look at this and go oh it's kind of like
7:45
Mickey Mouse if his ears were began
7:48
right in the middle of his face like
7:50
there's his no you stack them like this
7:53
and now and now we eat well why did
7:55
yours come in a stack and mine came like
7:57
a i stacked mine Adam oh you did because
8:00
I didn't see it as like oh look I'm
8:03
eating Mickey Mouse's head with ears
8:05

8:07
Mickey Mouse but I see him everywhere no
8:10
I just got pancakes okay and I'm eating
8:12

8:14
also how did how do you know my name
8:16

8:24
Uber that's
8:27

8:31
oh look mine looks like the tiki doll
8:34
from The Brady Bunch episode where they
8:36
went to Hawaii what what's wrong with
8:38
it's a it's a great episode it's a great
8:42
oh Greg with d is going to drown what
8:46
I'm going to eat my eat my food
8:49
now take a look at this old anchor Motel
8:54
thought maybe it wasn't open but it's
8:55
still open right here at Anaheim
9:03
old signage
9:32
now back over closer to the hotel on
9:32
Harbor walking down Katella right now
9:36
lots of banners for
9:37
Anaheim there a lot of little motels
9:40
through here too that are nice there's
9:41
Kings in over here little boy blue Motel
9:47
over
9:48
there Riviera Motel over there and of
9:52
course Toy Story parking right over
9:54
there I'm just going to cut through
9:55
Garden Walk and then loop back around
9:58
it's gotten really warm
10:01
look at these big flowers right
10:03
here all through the Garden Walk parking
10:07
structure area are those
10:13
patunas
10:13
oversized oh they're made out of metal
10:15
well that's warm that's a little
10:17
toasty oversized flowers here metal
10:28
flowers food was really good at the
10:28
Pancake House really good classic truck
10:39
alert I haven't walked through Garden
10:42
Walk in a while the hotel I'm staying at
10:45
backs right up against to Garden Walk
10:48
stroll through
10:56
here I'm also kind of wondering if one
10:56
day Disneyland will purchase this
10:58
property they have it yet I've heard
11:00
that they tried to they didn't and I
11:03
just kind of wonder if they're biting
11:05
their time before that happens cuz this
11:08
is like Prime real estate between
11:11
Disneyland over there and then Toy Story
11:13
parking over there which Disney owns too
11:15
just they could definitely do a huge
11:17
expansion at Disneyland or open a third
11:20
gate just never know what the Disneyland
11:22
forward will end up being wow it's been
11:24
years since I walked through Garden Walk
11:27
and I am just fascinated by the fact
11:29
that this old haunted house walkthrough
11:31
thing is still here right here with the
11:34
hands kind of reaching down the scary
11:36
face and all that still there and not
11:38
open looks like there's a Boba place
11:41
over here a cafe Bulba over there I got
11:44
this mural here you got the some Star
11:46
Wars stuff TIE fighter X-Wing Millennium
11:49
Falcon things like that and then over
11:52
here you got some scary creatures of the
11:54
night preparing themselves for the
11:56
Halloween season including this wolf and
11:59
scarecrow and very large skeleton what
12:02
is that like a 12 15 ft skeleton right
12:07
there Garden Walk during this time of
12:09
the day not too not not hopping at the
12:11
moment at the constellations up top on
12:14
the roof as
12:22
well all right heading down the
12:22
staircase yeah to me Garden Walk is it's
12:26
interesting that it's still open there
12:28
are some shops in there some restaurants
12:29
in there but in reality again just Prime
12:33
real
12:34
estate for what the future probably of
12:38
this area of Anaheim the resort the
12:39
Anaheim Resort
12:41
District there's CM parking over
12:50
there got the
12:50
buses the art of connecting the dots
12:53
it's called the art line
13:01
it's going to be fascinating to see what
13:01
this area is like in like let's say 10
13:03
years kind of changes are coming up a
13:06
lot of changes will be happening always
13:08
changing Ever
13:11
Changing just walking around Anaheim
13:13
it's an Anaheim day I think the rest of
13:15
the day I'm just going to have a
13:16
relaxing day enjoy some time in the
13:19
hotel room maybe get caught up on some
13:21
sleep that I really haven't been getting
13:22
over the past couple weeks as I stated
13:25
yesterday kind of nice to
13:28
not be hop going over to an airplane
13:30
getting on a plane bouncing around I've
13:32
been bouncing around so much to and
13:34
fro again did not really feel like
13:38
getting on a plane yesterday and that
13:39
point was driving driven home a little
13:41
bit more
13:42
when the rental car
13:45
issue so basically for the next four or
13:47
five days in this area might take an
13:50
Uber another ride share vehicle who
13:52
knows he going to pick me up next for
13:53
the next uh the next ride
13:55
share today just kind of went off the
13:57
rails it was UN unplanned
14:04
unplant wasn't a bit in any form fashion
14:04
don't don't believe that it was all it
14:06
was all coincidental coincidental
14:10
maybe I'm just going to have a relaxing
14:12
day
14:13
today and I may actually get a get a
14:16
little catnap in get a little little
14:18
Slumber in get caught up there's been
14:20
quite a few nights over the past week or
14:23
two that I've only gotten like 3 hours
14:24
of sleep so it's caught up with me so
14:26
it'll be nice to get some slumber
14:33
got to figure out what I'm going to do
14:33
rest of my little stay now starting on
14:37
21st 22nd and on from there when I had
14:41
originally planned to go back home and
14:43
then fly back in here lot of Halloween
14:45
stuff coming up a lot of Theme Park
14:48
Halloween events things like that but
14:51
now that I didn't go home to Florida now
14:53
I'm back here got to come with a game
14:55
plan for the next series of days leading
14:56
up to you know 21st 22nd is give or take
15:00
a day I do some some localized stuff and
15:04
familiar stuff unfamiliar stuff and just
15:06
kind of just kind of winging this week
15:08
which is which is nice I'm definitely
15:10
definitely enjoying the thought of that
15:13
and not hopping on planes and having a a
15:16
set game plan which I've really had in
15:19
uh the recent month or so so nonetheless
15:22
thanks for watching I thoroughly enjoyed
15:25
that breakfast I had the blueberry
15:27
pancakes and I had the om let the meat
15:30
lovers omelet which had an insane amount
15:32
of cheese it was good highly recommend
15:34
that place really good the Pancake House
15:37
The Original Pancake House thanks for
15:39
watching I'll see you in the next video
15:42
I appreciate it the
15:43
Vlog
16:03
I took a nap I took like a good 2hour
16:03
nap haven't had one of those in a while
16:06
this is probably been most relaxing day
16:09
I've had in a couple weeks pretty
16:11
enjoyable so now I've decided bonus
16:14
footage time continue the video and walk
16:18
the 3/4 mile down to Joe's Italian ice
16:21
to get myself a Joe latte cap off the
16:26
evening love Joe's Italian
16:35
bonus
16:35
footage there the convention center
16:37
right over
16:39
here
16:42
slightly more mellow than it was this
16:46
past weekend a few days ago for
16:53
d23 the next
16:53
d23 is in two years it's not every year
16:56
it's every other year and most of the
16:59
announcement they did at the parks panel
17:01
or the parks and experiences panel
17:04
really a lot of those don't come to
17:05
fruition for two sometimes 3 years which
17:08
is exciting for me because starting next
17:10
year we'll do a lot of international
17:11
it's going to be a lot less theme park
17:13
stuff and a lot more other country stuff
17:17
so what I've been doing with the
17:18
baseball stadiums and the theme park
17:21
stuff and the US road trips and all that
17:24
is going to take a back burner for quite
17:25
a while for a couple years while they do
17:28
kind of go around around the world and
17:29
see some things do some things which is
17:31
nice cuz the older I get I just turned
17:33
50 so really by the time you know I get
17:35
into 52 53 54 when I really do not want
17:38
to be going so hard pressed traveling
17:42
and then as time goes on and time goes
17:45
yeah you need to probably slow down a
17:47
little bit I'll be able to slow down a
17:49
little bit you know got the house in
17:52
Florida and kind of relax a little bit
17:54
more and Disney just announced that they
17:56
are putting up four more four more
17:59
Cruise Lines a bunch more Cruise Lines
18:01
they have like over a dozen Cruise Lines
18:04
I've kind of decided I don't want to
18:05
start cruising yet I think I'm going to
18:07
save
18:08
cruises and starting the Disney Cruises
18:10
and other cruises until way later
18:13
because I can always do those when I am
18:16
less active because that's a more
18:18
relaxing experience and I should save my
18:21
years where I'm still able to just kind
18:23
of be crushing at going out and just
18:24
traveling jumping on planes traveling
18:26
going places getting rental cars driving
18:29
seeing the
18:31
world where cruises are a little more
18:33
little more mellow and I feel like I can
18:35
save that for later so I don't know if I
18:37
really want to start doing the cruises
18:38
yet so anyway just thinking out loud I
18:41
stated this recently I'm going to
18:42
reiterate that more or less what I would
18:44
like to do is go to another country for
18:48
2 weeks or so 2 weeks to 20 days and
18:51
then home 2 weeks to 10 day or 10 days
18:52
or two weeks you know So Gone half the
18:55
month back half the month
19:08
2025 and knock out countries that way go
19:08
to one country a
19:10
month some smaller countries there's a
19:13
lot of bigger countries there's a lot of
19:14
the countries
19:16
that you know a lot of people go to
19:19
probably people expect me to go to but
19:21
those are not going to be the first and
19:22
foremost I kind of want to hit some
19:24
lesser I want to say obscure but lesser
19:26
but countries you might not expecting
19:27
I'm going to it really kind kind of hit
19:29
me when they made that announcement at
19:30
d23 Expo about all the new cruise lines
19:32
that are going to be added onto the
19:34
current C Cruise Lines originally I
19:37
thought I'll do some cruising in 2025
19:39
but really I don't see any need for that
19:43
kind of want to do that when life gets a
19:45
little more
19:47
mellower and then in 2 3 4 years when
19:50
all the updates the biggest expansion
19:51
that Walt Disney World's had in a long
19:53
time happens in Florida I'll be there
19:55
for that too that's not happening for a
19:57
few years so I get a few years
20:02
of doing the international
20:02
stuff and then I can start peppering in
20:05
the other stuff and then start to kind
20:06
of tone it down as Life Starts to weigh
20:09
or time starts to weigh more and more on
20:13
the body still pretty healthy right now
20:16
still pretty go go go go go with that
20:18
with that tunnel vision to just keep
20:20
keep going forward eventually my body's
20:24
going to say you slow down just a little
20:26
bit so I'm stay with the slow down stuff
20:28
got the house got the Disney World
20:30
stuff's always going to be there cruises
20:32
are always going to be there and
20:33
eventually that might be all I do but
20:35
that's a long way up one of my favorite
20:37
local spots ate here many times when I
20:39
lived here fact I ate here on my
20:40
birthday a few days ago as well popped
20:44
off over here and get another one since
20:45
I'm not staying too far decided get
20:47
myself another Joe latte over here which
20:50
is a Italian ice but it has like a
20:53
little little creamy goodness inside of
20:56
it
20:57
success and just a word to the
21:00
wise been here a number of times and
21:02
when the sun is right around this point
21:05
is a good time early in the day there's
21:07
hardly anybody here but once the sun
21:09
sets the line for this place gets out of
21:13
control I can't even express how many
21:16
people will be waiting in line for a Joe
21:18
latte this is a strawberry version but
21:21
if you ever drive by here let's say
21:22
you're leaving the parks of Disney Parks
21:23
when they close the line stretches all
21:26
the way down past that apartment complex
21:30
I mean sometimes it'll be hundreds of
21:32
people in line I know that sounds a
21:34
little far-fetched but it's absolutely
21:36
true so if you're in the area pre dusk
21:40
go then one thing is for sure that is a
