0:18
at the moment starting off here at the
0:20
Bonnet Creek Station bus stop each of
0:24
these bus stops have a different name
0:27
and this one just so happens to be
0:29
Bonnie oh no
0:31
Bonnet not Bonnie Bonnet
0:36
Creek I never realized that
0:39
before Bonnet Creek there's a water
0:43
fountain
0:58
fine got a piping hot caffeinated
0:58
beverage from a different Starbucks I
0:59
don't use usually go to the Starbucks I
1:02
got my coffee from this morning is right
1:05
over
1:07
there so I want to show a couple things
1:09
right around here to start off the day
1:11
welcome everyone Adam the woo here yes
1:13
that is a leaf blower taken to the next
1:17
extreme they follow me everywhere I'm
1:20
inviting you to join me I'm not waiting
1:22
for the bus I parked my car right over
1:24
there just starting the video
1:27
here oh that's good
1:31
also I had I put almond milk in this I
1:34
said is something a little better than
1:35
regular cream or regular milk I said
1:37
have about almond milk so I put a little
1:39
almond milk in here and a little regular
1:41
sugar I still can't do the raw sugar I
1:44
do the just the traditional packets of
1:46
sugar in the bottom of it two sugars in
1:49
here probably should have got one but
1:51
Starbucks it's pretty bitter coffee in
1:54
comparison to dunan I can get away with
1:56
one but a large this I'm getting there
2:00
I've also stopped the lattes I haven't
2:01
had lattes in a couple months doing
2:04
pretty good on the lattes join me
2:07
something closed right over
2:09
here it's gone another thing has gone by
2:12
the wayside on Highway 192 shall you
2:15
it's always fascinating to me these the
2:17
signage around the back of the signage
2:19
are all these coupons I've pointed these
2:21
out before I really don't know how many
2:23
people utilize these I'm sure they
2:25
probably toss a lot of these when
2:27
weather bad weather rolls through and
2:28
these things probably leak and get wet
2:29
on the inside but they have the I love
2:32
Orlando the enjoy Florida coupons hot
2:36
deals right down
2:39
there next to the gift oh Cash Cow
2:43
coupons and here is a America's favorite
2:46
coupon book out of all of them that's
2:49
America's
2:50
favorites look at this oh this is
2:52
interesting number 8
2:55
coincides with Mile Marker 8 which is
2:58
right here
3:00
so I live at Highway 192 I don't know if
3:03
it's mile marker but marker R disregard
3:06
what I said about mile marker but marker
3:08
8 is celebration I believe there is a
3:12
marker down there I'll see if I can get
3:14
closer to it not authorized anymore the
3:16
chicken Outlet's closed you see it right
3:18
over there got the little for sale sign
3:20
in front of it chicken
3:22
Outlet
3:24
authorized closed I've ridden my golf
3:26
cart up and down 192 but I've never
3:28
taken it across this bridge bridge I
3:30
don't know this would be structurally
3:32
sound to really take the cart
3:35
across usually I'll just ride it over
3:37
there the pavement oh yeah this thing's
3:39
creaking a little bit there is a random
3:42
golf cart not golf cart a
3:44
random good thing it's not a golf cart a
3:46
random
3:48
cart of the non-golf persuasion right
3:51
over there in the water there it is
3:52
Marker 8 the celebration
3:56
marker Highway 192 has these markers up
3:59
and down it and I am closest to Marker 8
4:04
even though no one ever mentions these
4:07
markers ever they were put up for a
4:09
purpose and the purpose really isn't
4:11
served if you ask anyone here in town or
4:14
along Highway
4:16
192 hey where is this attraction where
4:19
is this store where is this restaurant
4:21
most people will not even mention the
4:22
markers they will just tell you oh it's
4:24
right next to something else or you know
4:27
they'll use landmarks over the markers
4:28
but it was a good idea and Theory
4:30
closeup of the shopping
4:50
submerged like the style and the theming
4:50
of the shopping center with the
4:53
architecture over there kind of on the
4:54
side of that other building where the
4:56
gifts and t-shirts for less and the New
4:58
York bagel and Pizza
5:00
Company this ticket out looks always
5:02
neat it's been empty for a long
5:04
time but there's a restaurant right here
5:08
in this little little shopping center
5:10
area strip mall that is closed as of
5:12
yesterday I believe or the day before I
5:14
always thought this would be a great
5:15
little store to
5:21
have not that I'm going to open a store
5:22
but just in theory just thinking out
5:34
Tiana Flats right over there has closed
5:34
its doors officially nonexistent across
5:38
from celebration anymore goodbye Tiana
5:40
Flats ate there a few times it
5:42
definitely was not in my regular
5:43
rotation of places to eat but I do love
5:46
a little Tiana Flats Tex Mech but it is
5:51
officially
5:53
closed here we
5:56
go this location is closed please visit
5:58
our oown location Palm Parkway or
6:02
Champions Gate location at 827 Champions
6:04
Gate Boulevard that is a
6:07
mess ChampionsGate 27 is that the
6:10
traffic out of control through
6:22
there it was kind of nice having this
6:22
here again I did not frequented enough
6:24
maybe that was part of the problem on it
6:26
not being
6:28
open they're in the right now
6:30
dismantling stuff kind of peaked in the
6:32
window like a little logo there of the
6:35
skull hang Another One Bites the
6:44
Dust drove down 192 a little bit found a
6:44

7:03
Shingle
7:04
Creek in fact they have the garbage cans
7:06
that you see a lot of times in like
7:08
Smoky Mountains and other areas that are
7:10
made for Bears so these garbage cans you
7:13
don't really see these in Florida too
7:14
often in fact I don't know if I've ever
7:16
seen one in Florida but this is so the
7:19
Bears cannot get inside the the
7:23
garbage are there bears around here
7:26

7:27
and open it up Shingle Creek right right

decade since I've been in here remember
8:08
it being pretty neat though when I was
8:09
in there had a pretty good display
8:12
interactive walkthrough display unless
8:14

8:16
not want to do if you see a gator

Laurence
12:28
Gaters
12:56
cool definitely worth stopping off if
12:56
you're passing by really need oh dang
13:00
armadillo Reds one of the first if not
13:03
the first tattoo shop in this in Oola
13:05
County in the CMI St Cloud CMI
13:09
area has moved now I think their their
13:12
original spot was not this one but this
13:13
has been here since the '90s in fact I
13:16
ended up getting a tattoo here one of my
13:17
mini tattoos years and years and years
13:19
ago got a few over at the one closer to
13:22
downtown as well but this has been kind
13:25
of a staple here on Highway 192 across
13:28
from medieval time for many many
13:32
years see what this
13:34
shows moving to new location on
13:37
Broadview Drive in
13:53
go
13:53
changes to the landscape of Highway 192
13:56
while I'm over in this neck of the woods
14:00
might as well go by Target get a few
14:01
things that I could
14:09
utilize while I'm out and about not the
14:09
most exciting stuff purchase but few
14:13
necessities and non
14:16
Necessities all right continuing
14:20
on oh look at this it actually is a
14:23
target right
14:29
there that's fun it's always fascinating
14:29
to me how trees will grow
14:31
around telephone poles and electric
14:34
wires see how the the the limbs have
14:37
split around the side of it there I
14:40
don't know it's just always always
14:41
fascinating you see this everywhere you
14:44
go evidently when a tree is smaller than
14:47
this it just somehow it it will Fork off
14:51
to the side it doesn't want to have to
14:53
mess with the
14:56
electricity
14:58
fascinating
15:03
also while I'm out and about go by Hope
15:03
thrift over
15:23
up well not these particular ones but
15:23
when I was younger I used to have to mow
15:25
mow the yard not
15:27
fun
15:36
just brought back like a core memory my
15:36
mowing days the big bag it's the biggest
15:39
bag of popcorn I've ever seen gourmet
15:40
popcorn handcrafted in small batches
15:43
look how big that is for five bucks for
15:44
that huge bag Farmer John's
15:51
popcorn ever heard of this
15:54
game Las Vegas
16:01
junket I'm pronouncing that right
16:01
interesting they also have Mouse
16:11
trp ah
16:11
interesting any night you want No
16:13
Reservations
16:22

16:22
game lot of trivia pursuit in there
16:30
too lot of figurines in here buy one get
16:30
one free or half off it's like a little
16:33
vase there you put some flowers
16:40
in break it you buy
16:40
it didn't find
16:43
anything looks like these former
16:45
businesses have been kind of taken over
16:47
by The Rock Church I think they they now
16:50
have no longer businesses from the
16:51
little strip mall next to the dollar
16:53
store at Hope thrift but The Rock Church
16:56
is now utilizing that empty building
16:58
that well that empty storefront that one
17:01
that one that one and that
17:04
one all right back home now did not have
17:07
the best luck yesterday being a d23 gold
17:09
member for the Expo or the Ultimate Fan
17:12
Disney Fan event they are calling it so
17:16
now I'm doubling down I got the phone
17:18
open I'm also curious maybe if it would
17:21
be quicker and better today so yesterday
17:24
was for Gold members that did not help
17:27
me out at all but today is for Visa card
17:32
holder members which I am a Visa card
17:35
holder so got it here on my computer and
17:39
also on my phone and see if that helps
17:43
now I've had the website minimized in
17:44
the preline all morning and I am number
17:49
1,37 which is pretty dang good if you
17:52
ask me I only have 1,36 people in front
17:56
of me so I think my options are pretty
17:58
good on the phone considerably different
18:02
on the computer what the heck what a
18:04
wild difference look at the computer my
18:07
place in line on my laptop
18:11
44,5
18:14
people I have
18:16
4452 people in front of
18:19
me I think I'm going to go with the
18:23
phone complete polar freaking opposites
18:27
I mean one is in the thous
18:29
and one is in the
18:36
44,000 how it must just be
18:37
random got my Chase card in the wallet
18:39
already ready to rock I have I have a
18:42
good feeling about this today might be
18:45
my day all right yet another massive
18:49
problem so my time in the queue was
18:51
ready to go and it has me signing in I
18:54
have gone through this process five
18:57
times it's not letting me Lo again I
19:00
even signed out of the
19:03
laptop it says your time is ready sign
19:06
in I try to log in and it boots me right
19:08
back to this what the heck man I even
19:10
click cart there and nothing happens it
19:12
doesn't even go to show that the cart's
19:14
empty it's just this system is so
19:18
failed I have good and I have bad
19:23
news the bad news is I'm not going to be
19:26
able to take this on the commute cost
19:28
cross country to Anaheim for
19:31
d23 2024 happening at the Anaheim
19:36
Convention
19:37
Center property next door to
19:41
Disneyland I am
19:43
however able to go because I ended up
19:46
getting tickets don't know how it worked
19:48
out but I was able to log in and I have
19:52
tickets to D d23 Expo formerly called
19:55
d23 Expo now it's called something else
19:57
but it's the same thing
20:06
stress freaking overload thankfully I
20:06
was able to on the on my phone because I
20:10
was number 13 or 1400 as opposed to
20:13
44,000 on the desk on the
20:16
laptop was on my desk or desktop but
20:19
it's technically a laptop that's
20:20
connected to a a monitor that's on my
20:22
desktop you get the idea had to log out
20:26
of that was on the phone X Out of the
20:30
43,000 people that were in front of me
20:32
for day number two of trying to get the
20:34
tickets everyone else I knew that did
20:36
not get them yesterday were all 30 and
20:38
40,000 people behind me luck of the draw
20:43
very unusual how they do all that and in
20:45
order for me to sign in on my phone as I
20:48
was trying as I described trying to sign
20:50
in I had to go back into the laptop go
20:54
to the d23 site sign in there and then
20:56
it automatically signed me into to my
20:58
phone which made me able to buy the
21:01
tickets so if I would have been out and
21:02
about on my phone I would not have been
21:05
able to log in even though I booked the
21:07
tickets on the phone I had to log on the
21:09
computer what the heck is wrong with the
21:11
system so 3-day passes for this the rest
21:15
of this video is going to be about
21:17
d23 which is happening the night 10th
21:19
and
21:20
11th of August this year at of Anaheim
21:23
the 10th the parks panel the big one
21:26
where all the parks announcements are
21:27
announced is going to be on my birthday
21:29
on my 50th birthday I will be there
21:31
Friday and Saturday the 3-day passes
21:34
from what I'm being told completely sold
21:36
out even before general admission
21:39
tomorrow for regular guests go on
21:41
sale no one's even going to have the
21:43
ability to to purchase them again what a
21:46
what a
21:48
system
21:49
over overly popular this year Disney is
21:53
just kind of grown to the point where
21:55
it's very difficult to get to get any
21:57
tickets to anything anymore but I ended
21:59
up piecing together my weekend I have
22:02
Friday and Saturday two of the three
22:05
days so I'm going be going to d23 the
22:07
first and second day and both the panels
22:10
at the Honda
22:11
Center I'm excited that was an
22:15
incredible roller coaster of emotions
22:17
knowing that I had only 1,200 people
22:20
1300 people in front of me and then
22:21
getting in there then it tried to boot
22:23
me out of the system then it let me back
22:25
in the system then I tried to log in
22:27
with my password use the correct
22:29
password try to log in between five six
22:31
seven eight times thought this is not
22:33
going to happen and then did the little
22:34
thing where I signed in on the laptop
22:36
and then my phone automatically just
22:38
reconnected to purchase the tickets and
22:40
then I wasn't able none of the seating
22:41
for the Honda Center was showing up for
22:43
the 3-day there were no three days
22:45
available so I had to piece together the
22:47
Friday and the Thursday or the Friday
22:49
and Saturday did not purchase the third
22:51
day Sunday I figured two full days 48
22:53
Hours of d23 is Enough For Me Maybe I'll
22:56
go to Disneyland on the following day on
22:58
that Sunday or maybe I'll just wander
23:00
around the property nonetheless I that a
23:03
was like peeking up peeking up peeking
23:05
up I'm going to get these I'm going to
23:06
get yesterday was like whm Wim Wim whm
23:08
Wim Wim whm and then today was like oh
23:10
yeah oh yeah oh yeah and
23:12
then and then back up who it's going to
23:14
happen and
23:15
then and now I've leveled off so a
23:19
couple months ago I booked my hotels and
23:21
accommodations
23:23
and all that kind of
23:25
stuff for the event that's going to
23:27
transpire out there in Anaheim that I've
23:30
been talking
23:31
about so there was a little bit of a
23:34
worry but it wasn't going to work
23:38
out I'm glad it
23:40
did cuz it would have been really
23:42
awkward to be out there and not be able
23:44
to get
23:45
in
23:51
also saw some Cypress fake Cypress knees
23:51
earlier at the Welcome Center here's
