1:50
lot of construction walls it appears as

1:56
the same but they're adjacent to each
1:57
other okay first impression of the
1:59
creation shop very impressive take a
2:02
look at this place

2:09
see that boom mic there and everything
2:11
in the legit cameras much better than
2:13
mine all right now i'm getting my
2:15
bearings i know where i'm at i'm in the
2:17
older version of mouse gears they used
2:20
to have the what was it a paintbrush or
2:22
a magic wand up here
2:23
on the ceiling that would go across now
2:26
i know exactly where i am it's just been
2:28
repurposed and there is a new mural
2:31
over there behind the register take a
2:33
look at that the store well this
2:35
particular store has been closed for so
2:36
long i didn't recognize where i was they
2:38
had a pop-up version
2:40
kind of on the other side of where the
2:41
walls are now which was open for like
2:43
the last year or so
2:45
but this was definitely
2:47
how mouse gears was back in the day
2:49
same pylons and everything just
2:51
completely repurposed and looking very
2:53
fancy i really like that jacket there

9:26
carpet and the air conditioning ducts
9:29
all right now gotta head down to club
9:30
cool and get some even some more soda
9:32
maybe even try some beverly i have to
9:34
wonder you think beverly still exists is
9:37
beverly still a thing at the new club
9:39
cool i'm gonna find out soon enough back
9:41
in the creation shop noticing this this
9:43
is a puzzle first i thought it was a
9:45
board game
9:46
but it's a puzzle
9:48
puzzle pieces there
9:49
with
9:50
epcot on it and a couple more shirts
9:52
including this
9:54
yeah take a look at that
9:59
it doesn't even i don't think i showed
9:59
this before i showed the house but i
10:00
didn't show the front of the
10:02
of the ball cap style and you can only
10:04
get two
10:05
per gas so if you wanted
10:07
three caps you have to you can't do that
10:08
only two
10:10
they're limiting them this looks like
10:11
something
10:12
marty mcfly would wear back the future
10:24
yeah that's kind of cool it is kind of
10:24
cool
10:26
it seems like it'd be really warm this
10:27
is 79 dollars
10:32
looks like it'd be very warm
10:32
well you're wearing it how warm is it
10:35
you're
10:35
roasting rooms
10:49
yes it is official the party zone is
10:49
back look at this and it's not like the
10:52
old way you have to wait for your own
10:53
machine tell them how many are in your
10:54
party and then when it is available you
10:56
walk up to your own station i don't even
10:58
know which one of these to start off
11:00
with obviously the only one i really
11:01
know is that one right there the
11:02
delicious beverly the madagascar is not
11:04
too bad actually the madagascar is not
11:06
not too horrible
11:08
adam's going in
11:10
it's not bad there's like cough medicine
11:11
i could drink i could drink that again
11:18
i almost tried to drink with my mouth
11:18
this does not hold a candle to the
11:19
nastiness of beverly this is way tastier
11:22
this new flavor everyone says is nasty
11:24
isn't that bad yeah i think beverly is
11:26
worse would you try
11:29
i don't mind that at all i don't mind
11:31
the sour plum i kind of like it yeah
11:34
yeah i'm just gonna say this is nowhere
11:35
near as gross as beverly this is like
11:39
not even the grossest one by i don't
11:40
it's like i would drink i would pick
11:42
other ones that are probably a lot more
11:43
gross what do you think do you think
11:44
it's because we're old
11:45
it might be it's basically the kids are
11:47
like yeah this is terrible it tastes
11:48
like cough medicine i mean this one the
11:50
beverly is not that bad
11:52
you like beverly i like it better than
11:54
the club he almost threw
11:55
that one is grosser than that one
11:57
raspberry flavored i don't like that go
11:59
ahead and give me a little oh wow that's
12:00
a lot i don't like that one right there
12:03

16:22
i didn't love it
16:22
remember radiator spring braces
16:52
the fire is on now i gotta say
16:52
very technologically advanced they
16:55
stepped it up when it comes to the
16:56
technologically advanced aspect of this
16:59
show harmonious and i'm glad to be able
17:01
to watch this on a preview night even
17:02
though it does not open
17:04
until
17:05
you know on october 1st for the
17:07
technical 50th so two days prior
17:10
pretty dang neat to be watching this
17:12
yeah it is a sight to behold
17:15
the show itself you know i'm not really
17:16
gonna show well it's very heavy
17:19
musically driven and very
17:22
you know obviously a lot of water and a
17:24
lot of fireworks there's a lot of that
17:27
but the show itself you know it'll be
17:28
it'll be covered by a plethora of others
17:32
all across the internet so you can you
17:33
can watch that but i just wanted to kind
17:34
of show a little bit of it one thing i
17:36
will say
17:37
the grand finale really is
17:40
really was incredible with the pyro
17:43
being launched from the side of the
17:45
of the the shore here going out in the
17:48
middle of the grand finale was like wow
17:50
really kind of
17:52
kind of made me step back and say
17:53
goodness they are using they're using a
17:55
lot of pyro a lot of fireworks for this
17:58
i really kind of have to let i have to
17:59
let this the show simmer a little bit to
18:01
really think about my thoughts
18:03
over time but first impression
18:05
technologically advanced
18:07
show was a little unusual a little
18:08
different
18:10
but
18:11

19:02
time to think about it as i've walked up
19:04
a little closer to towards the exit
19:05
until the base of spaceship earth really
19:08
starting to think more about the
19:09
firework show and harmonious i think
19:12
what it was missing for me even though
19:14
pretty amazing spectacular on how it all
19:16
comes comes together with everything it
19:18
was missing a nostalgia
19:20
and i didn't really i didn't really get
19:22
the heavy feels like i get with a
19:24
phantasmic or fireworks show at
19:27
disneyland or at magic kingdom here in
19:30
florida
19:31
or even world of color
19:32
i think that's what it was missing i
19:34
expected maybe a little more
19:36
nostalgia and feels since it was you
19:39

me
19:48
it might have been lacking a little bit
19:50
of that as amazing as it was
19:52
it wasn't full on
