Transcript
0:02
today's adventure brings me to walt
0:02
disney world
0:04
january 1st 2021 new year's day
0:07
also the first official day that park
0:10
hopping
0:11
is back at wdw and i have chosen the
0:15
first of the two that i will be doing
0:17
you cannot go to all four theme parks
0:19
only two
0:20
so a modified park hopping but more than
0:22
one
0:23
my first of the two epcot center
0:26
i have parked in discover 18.
0:30
surprisingly it's a little a little
0:32
busier than i thought it
0:33
was going to be and i was expecting to
0:36
see the monorail loop
0:37
in full effect perhaps that will happen
0:40
at 2 it's currently 12 54. welcome
0:43
everyone
0:44
adam the woo here the reason for my
0:46
thought process
0:47
is because of limited capacity there
0:50
might not be a lot of guests that board
0:52
this amazing transportation device
0:55
during
0:56
during this time generally after
0:59
christmas and after new year's day
1:01
the crowd level slowed down just a
1:02
little bit it seems like i said
1:04
there's more people here than i expected
1:06
but it is definitely not up to its
1:08
former former years standards as far as
1:12
the amount of people so we'll see what
1:14
happens with this
1:15
i still haven't decided what the second
1:17
part is and these are required once you
1:18
head in so
1:20
inviting you to join me shall you if for
1:23
one reason or another
1:24
at 2 pm it does start running my second
1:27
choice will be magic kingdom so i can do
1:30
the monorail loop over to there go on an
1:33
attraction or two
1:34
and then roll back over also on a side
1:37
note this is going to be a
1:38
really mellow experience
1:41
after going full on disney all of
1:44
december and then late last night
1:46
celebrating new year's eve from the
1:48
castle at main street magic kingdom
1:50
i could use a low key day about a week
1:52
or so ago they took the
1:54
the perimeters down the walls down
1:55
around the fountain it is back to
1:57
looking old school and i am
1:58
thoroughly content and happy with this
2:01
decision
2:02
looking amazing this is the way i recall
2:05
it from way back in the day in fact i
2:07
have a photo of
2:08
myself my mom and my sister sitting
2:09
right back here in the mid 80s
2:11
yeah check it out there's there's little
2:14
me
2:15
i was i don't even know how old i was
2:17
there probably that would have been 87
2:19
perhaps 86 perhaps so i'd have been 12
2:23
maybe give or take now if only a
2:27
monorail would cruise by that would be
2:28
the perfect absolute perfect scenario
2:31
and completion
2:32
to the little pylons there by the way
2:35
here's world of micah
2:36
everybody who is also going to be
2:38
embarking on this endeavor of park
2:41
yes we have no idea what we're doing
2:42
nope at all
2:44
what are the odds do you think of the
2:46
monorail doing the loop around epcot
2:48
if you had if you were you were a
2:50
gambling man
2:51
oh i'm so optimistic because i want to
2:53
see it
2:54
but i don't know i really don't know at
2:57
this point i'd say maybe 75
2:59
i like i like those odds yeah at least
3:01
we got the pylons back
3:04
at least we got the pylons so wild to
3:06
see the
3:07
the inner workings of the former
3:08
communicore here communicates not even
3:10
fang anymore
3:11
most of it has been removed and erased
3:13
from existence so they are still doing
3:15
constructed on a lot of it
3:16
i also stumbled on something very really
3:18
interesting these appear to be
3:20
fastpass yeah fastpass items here that
3:24
are covered
3:25
why would they be here i don't you
3:27
recall seeing these
3:28
yeah there's all the stations that i was
3:30
like are we gonna get a pass but these
3:31
weren't here like a week or two ago no i
3:33
haven't seen them
3:35
news update i don't ever recall seeing
3:37
the extended queue for the land
3:39
stretching out look it goes all the way
3:40
over there and then friends with nemo
3:43
living seas is also extended out now
3:45
this might be a development not in our
3:47
favor according to this there are no of
3:49
other available parks
3:51
epcot is the only one so we might not be
3:53
able to park off on
3:55
this first announced park hopping day
4:01
dang i take a walk over to guest
4:01
services and inquire and get all the
4:03
details kind of ironed out
4:05
they'll know more than i will after
4:07
inquiring i've come to the realization
4:09
that you do not need to book another
4:11
reservation
4:12
and at two because there's going to be
4:14
other people park hopping some of the
4:15
availability is going to change so even
4:17
though
4:17
everything wasn't in green for the other
4:19
three parks other than epcot
4:21
studios animal kingdom of magic kingdom
4:23
will be able to
4:24
things will be shifted around it too so
4:26
it's going to be are you ready for this
4:28
adventure this is so ready this is an
4:30
adventure i know
4:31
never did i think i would miss park
4:32
hopping so much
4:34
but now that you can't really do it and
4:36
it's back like i want to do it
4:39
noticing the christmas tree has been
4:41
removed and
4:42
the event that was going on over the
4:44
last month starting to to end now they
4:47
got these little
4:48
check all these out these are all these
4:50
are all covered up
4:51
for the next event upcoming looks and
4:54
sounds as if the jammers are over there
4:56
performing on the stage about to
4:59
go on a friendship boat we're gonna take
5:01
the friendship boat across the lagoon
5:02
and then take the skyliner
5:04
over to studios in hopes of being able
5:07
to walk in over there
5:11
you can hear them all the way over here
5:30
i guess the next question would be when
5:30
is the new fireworks show that's
5:32
happening here on the lagoon
5:34
notice that item over there in the water
5:36
almost looks like a big taco
5:38
i always like to utilize as many
5:40
transportation devices as i can
5:42
there's something about a boat ride that
5:44
just kind of puts your mind at ease
5:46
at three minutes to two i'm noticing
5:48
there is a back up there of guess that
5:49
they are those must be park hoppers
5:51
okay it is now two this is the first
5:53
official wave that i've ever seen
5:56
from the reopenings back in july of any
5:59
body park hopping this is the
6:00
documentation of those park hopping into
6:02
epcot
6:04
that's cool okay now on the skyline or
6:07
looking into the future of
6:08
ratatouille attraction down there could
6:11
it
6:12
who knows when but it could be any day
6:14
now
6:15
it is now 206 six minutes after
6:19
the park hopping became available and
6:21
all three parks except for the one we're
6:22
departing from
6:24
are still read out
6:27
now maybe that hasn't had anything to do
6:30
what are your theories on it it's like
6:32
well like we were talking earlier
6:34
we think that what they did was they
6:35
made reservations specifically for
6:38
day guests for buying tickets they made
6:40
a specific reservation for yes you have
6:42
passes and they're holding off some
6:45
capacity tickets i guess you could say
6:48
for this park hopping because they know
6:50
people are going to be doing it we just
6:51
saw people park robbing into epcot
6:53
the park hopping there you go it worked
6:56
that was relatively simple we made no
6:59
there was nothing set ahead of time we
7:01
didn't make a reservation
7:03
we just scanned our magicband and it
7:05
worked it worked
7:06
it worked yes that
7:09
was simple stepped over into galaxy's
7:12
edge
7:13
i'm noticing there is a are you i'm used
7:15
to the coca-cola droids this is a sprite
7:18
droid that's right sprite droid i
7:21
did my first official park hopping here
7:24
at walt disney world since the
7:25
reopenings back in july
7:26
it happened and it was relatively simple
7:29
i don't know why i was so
7:30
distraught over it it was it was easy
7:33
went ahead and placed a mobile order
7:35
behind me at docking base seven
7:37
gotta get a meal as difficult as i
7:40
assumed it was gonna be to get into
7:42
studios and that went like a breeze
7:45
thinking maybe of doing all four
7:48
attempting all four parks
7:50
in the course of the day just gonna get
7:52
this meal and maybe head over to animal
7:54
kingdom
7:56
magic kingdom and then back to epcot
7:59
while waiting here micah just pointed
8:01
out that they're using the exterior
8:03
outside
8:05
of star wars land extended queue for
8:08
smugglers run a golf cart just went by
8:10
out there
8:11
i think i've ever seen that door open
8:13
before
8:14
made it inside and this
8:18
is what we're dealing with i went with
8:20
two options this is a small portion of
8:22
little noodles pasta here with some
8:25
sauce
8:26
on top but i always this is kind of a
8:27
go-to now it's a
8:29
meatless meatball with pita over there
8:32
what'd you get micah
8:33
it's a chicken salad and i got the pita
8:35
thing too
8:36
looks good all right so you ever had the
8:37
pita the pita i've never
8:39
meatball i think they call that what do
8:41
they call it was a word for meatless
8:43
meatballs
8:44
um drawing a blank impossible impossible
8:47
yes
8:48
impossible do you think it's going to be
8:49
impossible for us to go to all four
8:51
parts today
8:52
i i thought it was impossible to get in
8:54
this one i think we're
8:56
we're gonna be uh clear are you down to
8:58
try it oh yeah
9:00
taking the bus now gate number 34 to
9:02
animal kingdom
9:04
pulling away from the station
9:09
on the way in they have these little
9:10
washboards that explain how
9:12
the process went there was some cast
9:14
members
9:15
who alerted us that there is
9:18
availability so you don't have to get on
9:19
the bus
9:20
without you don't want to get all the
9:22
way over there and there's no
9:25
there's no room i would imagine that if
9:27
it was at full capacity
9:30
not capacity to get a park reservation
9:32
but capacity to park up and compete two
9:35
different capacity levels
9:36
not sure about that but if we were not
9:38
allowed in animal kingdom
9:39
we would not be able to board this bus
9:43
it's just what i'm assuming still the
9:45
first day of this
9:46
so a little bit of confusion but that's
9:48
kind of a buy trying to get it
9:50
so we're on the bus now we're the only
9:52
ones on here
9:54
the only ones i think that's kind of how
9:58
the vibe is right they would let us on
10:00
this
10:01
yeah basically it's when the cast member
10:04
the lady was telling me they just verify
10:06
your ticket
10:08
and it kind of saves you a trip
10:17
when i woke up this morning i assumed i
10:17
was going to go to two parks
10:18
do you have any idea that you're
10:20
possibly gonna go to all four parts yeah
10:22
this is number three this is awesome
10:24
yeah it's happening yeah
10:26
four parks one day one world and one
10:29
world
10:30
here's a little more specific on the
10:32
information park hopper
10:34
hours while bus transportation is
10:36
available during per copper hours to
10:38
board you must have a ticket or pass
10:40
with the hopper benefits so you can
10:42
purchase a day ticket
10:44
as well they sell park hopper tickets
10:46
yeah we have annual passes so it kind of
10:48
defaults into that cast member will
10:51
verify your ticket or
10:52
pass prior to boarding and you have to
10:55
have a reservation for the first theme
10:56
park that you visit not for all of them
10:58
only the first one so could you just go
11:02
get one for animal kingdom or magic
11:05
kingdom and then roll over to studios
11:07
which is very difficult to get
11:08
if there's availability you can get
11:10
right on in we we just did that and we
11:12
did it
11:13
we may have discovered a hack
11:16
yes i never know is it is it ak for
11:19
short you know
11:20
mk would be magic kingdom wdw walt
11:23
but is it ak for animal kingdom or is it
11:26
dak disney animal kingdom for sure
11:29
it worked thank you there it is the tree
11:32
of life we're gonna veer off and head
11:34
over to pandora and get ourselves a
11:36
beverage over there
11:42
the floating mountains
11:53
this walk-up stand here by the name of
11:53
pongu pongu
11:56
what is it that we're getting exactly
11:58
layers of apple and dessert pear limeade
12:01
topped with passion fruit
12:02
boba for 5.99 looks good
12:06
and this is what we're dealing with you
12:08
ever had this before oh yeah you tried
12:10
this before you didn't recommend it to
12:11
me so obviously
12:12
i got this on during my preview of
12:15
pandora's kind of oh you did a premium
12:16
yeah they give you the extra large straw
12:18
so you can
12:20
slurp up the boba
12:23
oh yeah
12:51
i think with that i'm gonna start
12:51
heading back over towards
12:54
the buses oh i see there she is there's
12:57
the anteater
12:58
right there there she is
13:01
yep you heard me right ducks we're
13:03
getting ready to accomplish the fourth
13:05
and final
13:06
of the parks head into mk across there
13:09
oh look at that right there it's not a
13:10
pink flamingo but it's a pink duck a
13:13
pink
13:13
a pink bill oh we're not finished yet
13:17
but as far as just getting the beverage
13:19
in there it was a
13:20
wild beverage going up to the bus
13:23
information number three
13:27
we're going to number three
13:30
entertainment yep there's a
13:33
dragon right there beastly king
13:37
kingdom throwback oh there's dumbo
13:42
on that bus and there's buzz lightyear
13:44
and slinky dog
13:46
now over we left studios
13:49
we were approached by a couple cast
13:50
members that scanned our magic band oh
13:54
look at these
13:54
ice cold soda machines here but i'm not
13:58
up there right here
13:59
all right now i'm seeing the cast member
14:00
up here maybe we'll scan our magic bands
14:04
yeah there's the bus over there
14:11
did you forget your magic band just got
14:11
you got your pass that works too
14:13
i got my magic man
14:21
sweet all right
14:21
it's happening four or four
14:33
oh it's figment again we were on figment
14:33
earlier hello
14:36
kind of see figma's eyes right there
14:41
look staring at me looking at me sigma
14:50
now here's what's interesting if you
14:50
were to to purchase a part ticket or to
14:52
try to get a reservation with your
14:54
annual pass
14:55
for the first time for the day epcot is
14:57
the only one you can go to
14:59
so obviously this has no correlation
15:02
with the park hopping
15:04
but if you were to get epcot like we did
15:07
you could attend all three of the others
15:11
i said that's it's good to know and i
15:14
believe it's just going to be just about
15:16
magic hour and
15:23
goes the monterey now it should be
15:23
noticed this is the mod note
15:24
noted that this is the monorail from ttc
15:27
not the epcot loop monorail that's why
15:29
this transportation device
15:30
is still currently quite operational
15:48
well thanks everybody if you enjoyed our
15:48
show we are the dapper dans of main
15:50
street and if you did not enjoy our show
15:52
we are the vienna boys choir
16:01
happy new year everybody bye-bye bye
16:01
happy new year guys
16:07
i gotta love the dapper dance gonna try
16:07
to catch a little bit of the sunset from
16:08
the top of swiss family robinson
16:11
tree house gonna climb up to the top
16:13
there and see what we can see from the
16:14
tippy top
16:15
certainly getting steps in today from
16:17
all the walking you know took a lot of
16:18
buses and
16:19
other transportation device getting the
16:22
steps in
16:23
for sure i know when you climb up all
16:26
these
16:26
you kind of have to here they pause to
16:28
contemplate their small world here
16:30
adventure
16:32
beckons you can kind of see the sunset
16:34
over there it's really i think i weighed
16:35
a little too
16:36
it's already kind of gone over the
16:37
horizon but it's over there past the
16:39
trees and the limbs
16:40
this is a little bit better but a few
16:42
moments ago would have been a little
16:44
more prominent
16:44
and you see the top of splash mountain
16:46
over here from the crow's nest right
16:48
here the top of splash
16:49
if you were to stay up in the crow's
16:50
nest you just look out that netting and
16:52
you can see splash mountain
16:53
i don't remember these nets i don't
16:55
remember bars being on these windows
16:58
oh wow they have the the usual water
17:01
spitting tikis are no longer
17:03
spitting out water but also you cannot
17:05
go past this little
17:08
this little little rope here and you
17:10
can't
17:11
have any parking of those as well yeah
17:13
sometimes in the warmer months these
17:15
will spit well
17:16
pre 2 000 you know situation 2020
17:19
situation even though
17:20
it is new year's they are still still
17:22
abiding
17:24
by them no longer spitting water
17:27
oh wow jingle cruise is history
17:30
it's back to jungle the eye candy cane
17:33
eye is gone
17:34
and it's back to you now it's jungle
17:36
cruise again
17:37
it's looking like an hour and a half for
17:39
seven dwarfs mine train
17:41
i'm gonna go over and look at some tron
17:43
construction while i'm in this area
17:45
there it is right there there's the
17:47
signage
17:48
says new programming happening soon and
17:51
then over here there's space
17:53
mountain and i'm also really looking
17:55
forward to the train to start making the
17:56
grand circle tour as well there's a
17:58
station here and the train tracks
18:01
usually would have gone right around
18:03
there and it's going to be rerouted
18:05
around or under perhaps tron and now
18:08
about to head down the middle of main
18:10
street usa
18:11
and out accomplishing all four in one
18:13
deck would have been nice to take that
18:15
monorail but it's not in the cards not
18:17
yet not yet for the epcot loop
18:19
there it is i have two requests to ask
18:23
for everybody on the bus today
18:24
i'm just gonna close the door so we get
18:26
a better picture
18:29
okay i thought donald was going to be
18:30
expanded there we go we wrote right
18:32
mcdonald's
18:34
and it's not just the monorails not
18:36
being utilized now also the tram system
18:39
