welcome everyone out of the woo here as
0:02
a recording of this it is Tuesday July
0:04
11 2023 it's a little later in the day a
0:07
couple minutes shy of 5 p.m I'm wearing
0:09
an appropriate t-shirt This Is My Summer
0:13
home shirt even though I've got the
0:15
castle on there even though I am rarely
0:17
if ever
0:18
really hope
0:20
but it's appropriate because it's a
0:21
Disney shirt I have not been to Walt
0:24
Disney World in like seven weeks eight
0:26
weeks six seven eight weeks it's been a
0:28
little while because I have been
0:29
traveling
0:31
did go to the West Coast I have popped
0:33
into a Disney park I went into
0:34
Disneyland
0:35
but I have not been to the Florida
0:37
counter parks counterpart counterparts
0:42
but I'm heading over there now the sun
0:44
should be setting in a couple hours very
0:46
hot very humid during the day so getting
0:49
in there in the Heat of the Moment
0:52
definitely not the most enjoyable thing
0:53
I figured wait a little bit later in the
0:55
day when it's not quite as scorching I'm
0:59
excited to get back in the Parks see
1:00
what there is
1:02
and just have a good evening I'm
1:04
inviting you
1:05
to join me
1:07
over here yeah take a look at that right
1:09
on the almost right on the nose at five
1:16
interested in checking out some merch
1:16
maybe riding a ride or two seeing an
1:18
attraction just seeing what's happening
1:20
at wdw
1:22
probably head over to Magic Kingdom no
1:25
treats though treats are not on
1:27
the agenda it's going to be a treatless
1:30
day
1:31
are you going
1:34
to move forward
1:36
there it goes 5 p.m I'm off now I don't
1:39
know if cool the gator wants a piping
1:41
hot caffeinated beverage but I had a
1:43
large so there's like enough enough to
1:44
share
1:45
got him down here yeah I mean this is
1:47
just right here along the dock just
1:50
floating there turning back hears me
1:51
talk here's me hello how's it going
1:55
there and then the other one again right
1:57
over there
1:58
do you want some coffee I don't think I
1:59
think it's frowned upon to give Gators
2:01
coffee in fact you're not supposed to
2:03
feed Gators anything ever because then
2:05
they get acclimated to the scenario into
2:07
the situation you never want to you
2:09
never want to feed Gators in the wild so
2:11
don't do it don't give them little
2:12
snacks or anything like that just it's
2:15
not it's not a good thing to do man I'm
2:16
yeah glad I get to wear this shirt today
2:18
because I have not been to the parks in
2:21
Florida since it's officially been
2:22
summer I'm wearing definitely wear an
2:24
appropriate shirt because it's summer
2:26
yeah that's pretty much textbook I-4
2:28
Westbound around this time frame
2:43
I went to Knott's Berry Farm at Buena
2:43
Park California on the official first
2:45
day of summer 2023 this year
2:47
a couple weeks ago now finally for
2:50
summer stepping into little wdw
2:56
that makes you very happy Mickey
2:56
powerful I do believe I'm going to
2:58
choose Magic Kingdom to see you probably
3:00
won't do any park hopping just do MK No
3:03
Reservations needed because it is after
3:04
2 p.m on a weekday annual pass holders
3:07
could just walk in whatever Park they
3:09
want without a reservation which is one
3:11
thing that's pretty nice about here
3:12
versus on the west coast because the you
3:14
know Disneyland's a lot smaller acreage
3:16
wise so sometimes it's tough to get a
3:18
reservation but a little bit more Elbow
3:20
Room here I am parked over here at
3:21
Ursula 338
3:23
not that acreage has anything to do with
3:26
really the reservation system I don't
3:27
know where I was going with that
3:33
but just size Wise It's a bigger it's a
3:33
bigger Park
3:34
I don't know I don't know where I was
3:35
going on
3:36
foreign
3:44
rumors that here starting into early
3:44
2024 they might completely go away like
3:48
I said after three or after 2 p.m two or
3:51
three you don't need them if you're at
3:53
AP but I think they might start going
3:55
away slowly but surely if it's a 24 here
3:57
but I don't know if Disneyland will ever
3:58
go to be honest
4:00
oh yeah
4:05
having a race over here with this
4:05
vehicle
4:07
very busy at a park kind of far out
4:17
summer is here somewhere it is good to
4:17
be back I gotta be honest
4:22
baby
4:24
very close it's gonna be 11 30 P.M
4:27
ake
4:30
definitely one of my happy places the
4:32
Disney parks
4:41
I like being a Passover used to have a
4:41
coast to coast pass
4:43
and for 2020 right at 2020 they got rid
4:46
of that and now you have to buy them
4:48
individually I'm a pass holder on both
4:50
coasts
4:51
like when it makes though you sit
4:53
towards the back you get those long
4:54
swooping turn around angles oh you get
4:57
all of it look at this Transportation
5:00
overload even got the monorail sitting
5:02
on top there perched on the monorail
5:04
Beach
5:05
good angle
5:07
shuttle blue going underneath the
5:10
monorail Orange
5:17
do I take the monorail the Magic Kingdom
5:17
or do I take the ferry boat usually I'm
5:19
team Joffrey's over there but I opted
5:21
for a Starbucks in celebration so I've
5:23
already got my coffee
6:01
now I have merged into the regular line
6:01
down The Descent
6:03
a real pink going by
6:10
pursuing sounds
6:10
yeah it's always a good sight walking
6:12
right down the middle of Main Street USA
6:15
Walt Disney World East Coast Edition
6:17
it's two main streets yeah one on the
6:19
west coast one of these this is the east
6:20
coast and cutting it over to
6:21
Tomorrowland it's like they have a new
6:23
mural right here and right up here is
6:25
Stitch on the side of the wall still
6:26
first off the tth from our land Transit
6:29
Authority people mover a little like too
6:31
long of a lie a lot of the wait times
6:32
are going to be definitely a little busy
6:34
today because it is summer summer crowds
6:37
but this doesn't look too bad just kind
6:39
of uh call it a walk-on in fact there's
6:40
a lot of attractions and things here
6:42
that start with the letter t
6:44
Tomorrowland Transit Authority
6:46
Transportation Ticket Center Tower
6:48
Terror test track a lot of teas go to
6:51
TTC to TTA kind of go on TT and the
6:54
t-o-t oh yeah very nice too you got the
6:57
Rockets going by there sometimes
6:58
sometimes you get the angle where
7:00
they're not launched off but right now
7:01
it's launched off it looks good
7:03
love the people
7:05
who are my favorite attractions and all
7:07
the people
7:12
I don't have a
7:12
season another Disney
7:14
and take a look at this you see Tron
7:16
going by I am stuck on the People Mover
7:19
I always want to get stuck up here I
7:21
have no complaints if I was just to like
7:23
just sit up here for a good 15-20
7:24
minutes inside the bowels of
7:28
starport seven five the announcer on
7:32
people mover just stated they said this
7:34
is star Port seven five or as the locals
7:36
call it Space Mountain I don't think
7:39
I've ever called it Star Ford 7-5 to be
7:41
honest maybe I should start referring to
7:42
that just like I called CTA TTC this is
7:45
the perfect time of evening it's like a
7:47
little before dust maybe an hour or two
7:49
before dusk the sun is not too
7:51
prominently hot and warm and getting
7:54
View and someone just yelled at me
7:56
someone's waving wait times don't look
7:58
too terribly bad for a Tuesday during
8:00
the summer at 6 15 a.m you know 70
8:03
minutes for space matter for Space
8:05
Mountain 105 for mine train looks like
8:08
70 for Peter Pan 45 for Mansion 40 for
8:13
Big Thunder and 10 minutes for the train
8:15
of course Splash Mountain going by the
8:17
wayside now tayana's taking over that
8:19
one here just like she's taking over the
8:20
155 minutes for like I say wait times
8:22
are kind of what I expected after all
8:24
and no virtual cues available for Tron
8:27
it's too late in the day standing right
8:28
underneath this little ship here which
8:30
was using fly the Navigator this is kind
8:31
of neat too they have all the wait times
8:33
listed on this board I didn't realize
8:35
they actually did this oh got really
8:37
quiet over here
8:38
also back in the day this is where it
8:40
used to be where the sky tower used to
8:42
dump off I used to go from small world
8:43
and dump off right here but they've
8:45
removed the platform but it used to be
8:46
right here we go across I believe it was
8:48
right next to these restrooms right over
8:49
in this area and the train goes around
8:52
this way of course you got the People
8:53
Mover right over here
8:55
kind of where's the sky buckets were
8:57
still around all right stepping into
8:59
Buzz Lightyear Astro blasters
9:03
space cruiser maintenance Bays right
9:06
there we gotta gotta meet and defeat the
9:09
evil emperor Zerg that kind of looks
9:12
like Space Mountain right up there kind
9:13
of sort of and a rocking Rock'em sock'em
9:16
robots and these are not detachable here
9:18
like they are in California these are
9:21
stuck in and stance into the ride
9:23
vehicle to give me the chance to zap
9:25
this robot multiple times back and forth
9:28
I don't know what the secret is oh it's
9:30
the evil Emperor's third right over here
9:32
take that sir take that
9:35
walk by the pole there the power hole I
9:39
feel like there'd be it should be a
9:40
showdown between these little creature
9:41
and the minions at Universal I think
9:43
minions who would win these little these
9:45
little claw creatures with the three
9:47
eyes or minions I feel like these were
9:49
going to be really really really popular
9:50
and the minions came along and everyone
9:52
fell in love with the minions you got to
9:54
give some love to the little aliens here
9:56
and
9:57
of course Buzz Lightyear but yeah these
10:00
little aliens I don't know which is
10:01
cuter I think they're both kind of
10:02
equally cute oh they even have a little
10:04
uh little play thing here of Emperor
10:07
Zerg one to two phrases arch enemy of
10:11
Buzz Lightyear evil emperor
10:14
look at that that's the claw machine
10:17
right there
10:19
and there's a buzz
10:27
when I think of the claw I think a liar
10:27
liar also with Jim Carrey The Claw maybe
10:30
Jim Carrey if they ever make a Toy Story
10:31
was it up to four now they're making
10:33
another Toy Story jump here should play
10:35
one of these aliens do the claw bit I
10:37
don't know just thinking out loud oh
10:39
Zerg has been incarcerated I don't
10:41
remember bars being on these windows
10:43
served you are right back there buddy
10:44
they're almost like uh you're almost
10:46
like Magic Kingdom sad Eye Joe so if you
10:49
don't you know Cass got your tongue
10:50
though like Zerg is here behind maybe
10:53
he's Behind Bars because anyone that's
10:55
on the attraction has captured him I
10:57
head over to new Haunted Mansion now I
10:59
heard that Haunted Mansion might be
11:00
closing in August hopefully to bring hat
11:03
box ghost and Hattie coming to Florida
11:06
in the distance to the Liberty Bell
11:07
tooting the steam horn off in the
11:10
distance saying come over this way you
11:11
know one thing I never really look at
11:12
when I'm here is the recreation of the
11:15
Liberty Bell they have one at Knott's
11:16
Berry Farm obviously they have the real
11:17
one in Philadelphia I've been to Philly
11:19
recently and seen the real one from afar
11:21
and now the one is here I just always
11:22
walk past this very quickly so I wanted
11:24
to show this the Liberty Bell and I also
11:26
want to stop inside Memento Mori where I
11:29
had seen that they have some of the
11:30
merchandise for the movie that is coming
11:33
out which I will definitely be going to
11:34
see uh supposedly they have some of some
11:37
new Haunted Mansion merch in there at
11:39
Memento Mori for the release that's
11:41
coming up soon and it was the Eddie
11:44
Murphy movie but this one's probably
11:45
going to be better than the Eddie Murphy
11:46
movie that came out like 20 years ago
11:48
now I just got to find to be honest I
11:49
don't know what is the older merch or
11:51
the newer merch a two view Madame Leota
11:55
stuff over here oh there we go there's
11:57
Roop so what's interesting in the
11:59
trailer they don't say room for a
12:00
thousand they just say there's room for
12:02
one more but there's hat box right there
12:04
there's the bride all they're going to
12:06
be shown in the movie itself but I
12:09
believe on the ride if I remember
12:10
correctly it's room for a thousand 999
12:12
happy hospital room for a thousand but
12:15
now the spirit jersey and in the trailer
12:17
for the movie it says room for one more
12:20
which I guess is kind of sort of the
12:21
same thing but
12:24
I can't tell you the last but probably
12:26
never have I ever worn like kind of a
12:28
shirt like this would just call like a
12:30
tank top
12:31
I don't know if I'm really a tank top
12:32
kind of guy I have a farmer's tan I'm
12:34
not a farmer but I have a pretty uh
12:36
intense farmer's tan so maybe I could
12:38
work on that by wearing the Mansion the
12:40
movie edition mansion yeah that's still
12:43
kind of taken back by the the room for
12:46
one more not a thousand I guess they're
12:49
just taking liberties with the Spiel so
12:52
this glows in the dark this is kind of
12:54
neat I actually like this it's not
12:56
really the kind of style I would wear
12:57
this is also probably something that
12:59
also the like opening fans like the
13:01
actual like in here
13:11
nowhere and Seer of all
13:11
I've never worn Crocs I have a lot of
13:13
friends that are big Advocates of Crocs
13:16
making all those sounds a ventilator you
13:20
know something known as a fan but this
13:22
is what it is this opens up and it's a
13:24
madame Liotta fan awaken the speed whoa
13:27
It's awake in all Spirits awaken all
13:29
Spirits I thought it was awakened the
13:31
spirits with your tambourine if you saw
13:33
tambourines I probably wouldn't go over
13:35
very well in the park though
13:36
tambourine's walking oh look at these
13:39
little pet beds like little doggy beds
13:41
and a doggy or a cat or a cat or any
13:44
kind of other animal I guess you could
13:45
put a turtle in there if you had a
13:46
turtle but a doggy will follow you
13:50
home this is a pretty good one too you
13:53
can put your hands if it gets cold you
13:55
could put your your cold you could stop
13:58
your feet or you could put your hands
14:00
down in this little little mummy pouch
14:11
to the Haunted Mansion I don't know
14:11
which one I like better Anaheim or this
14:13
one
14:14
a couple things I like about this one
14:16
when you're going into the hallway scene
14:18
the wallpaper Blends in and there are
14:21
real eyes that stare at you and I also
14:25
like the etcher painting that it kind of
14:26
has the upside down staircase back in
14:28
the day fun fact it used to be a spider
14:30
web in there not many people remember
14:32
the spider web though it was replaced
14:33
with the staircase and this person has
14:35
been in that in that casket for so long
14:38
and on the way out just showing the
14:40
little berm here and I thought it'd be
14:42
kind of a neat idea when they got rid of
14:43
Splash Mountain that they took so you
14:46
see Jay fatty is toad is right up there
14:48
I always thought they should put rare
14:50
rabbit next to Mr Toad as an homage they
14:53
got rid of the Mr Toad ride now it's
14:55
Winnie the Pooh here they could easily
14:57
put brayer rabbit up there looks kind of
14:59
neat all silhouetted out there shadowed
15:02
out with the sun behind the trees there
15:05
kind of excited about the new Haunted
15:06
Mansion movie
15:12
definitely better than the Eddie Murphy
15:12
one maybe that's that's pretty simple to
15:14
to best that one this pretty much sums
15:17
up Central Florida humidity right here
15:19
with the Steam and professionally
15:21
flowing off of people's Noggins these
15:23
tikis are really appropriately showing
15:25
how Florida humidity works this is how
15:28
anyone feels in the Florida summer the
15:30
best way to describe Florida humidity so
15:33
you know when you take a really hot
15:34
shower and then you exit the bathroom
15:36
and then you forget to get your comb or
15:39
get the deodorant or something you got
15:40
to go back in the bathroom and the the
15:43
inside of the bathroom after a hot
15:45
shower is just so scorchingly humid that
15:48
is what Florida and the summer feels
15:50
like that's my best description so kind
15:52
of seeing this as like a visual
15:54
interpretation
15:59
looks like this is new merchandise too
16:00
captain of a mangy crew fear the beards
16:05
are there trouble Jack right there and
16:08
then stars are tattoos with better story
16:11
interesting they have a shirt that's
16:13
like talking about tattoos scars or
16:16
tattoos with better stories see this is
16:18
all all new merchandise right here
16:25
it's interesting they have something
16:25
like this and
16:30
it might as well continue until morale
16:30
improves but you know pirates look at
16:32
his face very nice don't mess with
16:36
pirates all bets are off and that one
16:38
glows in the dark as well that's kind of
16:40
just kind of a basic
16:42
a fast made he's gather you crew Pirates
16:46
of the Caribbean a rollicking adventure
16:48
with the boldest band of swashbuck which
16:50
to ever terrify the Spanish Main
16:59
I should have got one of the kind of the
16:59
old school we want the redhead shirts
17:02
from back in the day
17:03
missed a vote on that one all right this
17:05
is kind of unusual it's almost like a
17:07
lightsaber it's like something you'd see
17:09
out of Aladdin but it has the Pirates of
17:11
Caribbean logo on it I would I would
17:14
this almost looks like well I mean I
17:15
guess a lab in the same kind of same
17:17
kind of era sorta but it has like the
17:19
the light up lightsaber style you can
17:22
also get a hook for a hand I always
17:24
think a Kingpin I'm gonna think of a
17:26
hook for a hand hey Captain Hook
17:30
I'm sure charge something loose tiger
17:32
loving all this merch new mansion merch
17:35
new Pirates merch Beware of the Kraken
17:39
Spirit jerseys Yoho pirate's life for me
17:42
for you
17:48
just so hot oh look at this it's a fun
17:48
fact one of the first tattoos I ever got
17:51
was right here on my wrist I got the the
17:55
skull and the same saying that is right
17:58
there is on here and the fun thing is
18:03
that I got this because I love this ride
18:06
so much even before the Johnny Depp
18:08
movies came out and I ended up before
18:10
I'd even been on the better Pirates
18:12
which is the Anaheim Pirates Which is
18:14
far superior to the one here
18:17
I just I've always loved the ride this
18:20
in mansion or man I don't know I have
18:22
like probably five or ten favorite rides
18:23
but these are two two of the top two top
18:25
ten they even have some pressed pennies
18:27
over here with some Pirates there's
18:29

park first open there's actually a bunch
18:54
of different Randy's but this is a this
18:55

18:59
reminds me how Disneyland used to sell
19:00

19:02
they're kind of black back in
19:05
last
19:07
Style

19:15

19:16
cue line for the former Splash Mountain
19:18
used to be except now they are turning
19:22
into Tiana so you kind of look up here
19:24
to see a lot of the scaffolding also
19:26
around the front they have the water
19:27
tower and The Tiara for the the crown on
19:31

Mickey that's on the ground here I'm
21:30
going to try to go over onto Raceway
21:33
watching fireworks from the race watch
21:34
maybe I can get on one of the vehicles
21:37
before the fireworks stop and if that
21:40
happens that'd be pretty neat if the
21:41
fireplace you see the fireworks are
21:43
happening up top there for happily ever
21:45
after and should be able to possibly get
21:48
on board before
22:07
up in the distance and the fireworks
22:07
happening
22:08
right over there yeah worked out pretty
22:12
good been on there before fireworks were
22:15
done so it happened to me one other time
22:17
with this episode
23:02
all right this is interesting I just got
23:02
this time at the end of night they're
23:03
making everyone get out here before you
23:05
even go to the the real exit
23:08
ever exited before getting to the end of
23:11
the queue before
23:25
cast members are going out for a
23:25
riveting race
23:27
or they're putting them away that's
23:28
what's happening
23:59
that's how it's done and now heading out
23:59
right down the middle of a very busy and
24:02
packed Main Street
24:05
USA there's the castle off in the
24:07
distance and it is definitely elbow to
24:09
Elbow all right maybe not elbow to Elbow
24:11
but it's definitely it's definitely
24:13
definitely a little uh cramped through
24:15
the through this side yes you could say
24:17
it is a real beehive of activity
24:27
and over in Emporium they're having
24:27
something called a Summer Splash items
24:29
or 30 off the summer Vibe you got Buzz
24:32
Light here with like eating a burger
24:34
during summer you know a lot of picnics
24:37
happen during the summer time so there's
24:39
a lot of that kind of going on you got
24:40
the ketchup and mustard you got forky
24:43

all about the summer summer is in full
25:15

25:22
laid back really quite an incredible
25:22
amount of people exiting out again
25:44
I'm curious how the monorail or the boat
25:44
back across seven seas is going to be
25:46
getting out of here it does take a while
25:48
you got to really want to come to Magic
25:50
Kingdom it's all right I did but
25:52
definitely a challenge now the line for
25:53
the monorails and the
25:56
Seven Seas Lagoon ferry boat are wild
26:00
thought about maybe taking the boat
26:01
across over but I think I'm just gonna
26:02
do the walk
26:04
I think of the time out of time it takes
26:05
me to walk back to TTC I'll still be
26:07
waiting for a transportation device over
26:09
there getting out of MK at post
26:11
