0:22
looking at the Mickey power pole and
0:22
knowing what that means I am heading
0:25
into a Disney park not Disneyland which
0:29
is celebrating their 67th anniversary
0:31
today
0:33
because I am not in Anaheim
0:36
to join in in the festivities the next
0:38
best thing
0:39
going to Magic Kingdom book to
0:42
reservation
0:43
and heading in also my first time back
0:46
in the Disney theme parks here on the
0:48
East Coast
0:49
and over three months
0:52
4 50 p.m had no desire to go out during
0:55
the heat of summer in Central Florida so
0:58
saving it for a little later also some
1:01
rain has started to formulate on my
1:02
windshield it's going to be stormy
1:04
tonight and had to pull over real quick
1:06
news flash
1:08
the Hollywood Tower sign that used to
1:11
sit right here has been completely
1:13
demolished and removed what the heck on
1:16
the way into Magic Kingdom and over to
1:18
Epcot used to be a ride vehicle dropping
1:20
in at the Hollywood Tower for years and
1:22
years it's gone there's just wreckage
1:25
over there now it was a promotional
1:27
billboard that was very active and it
1:29
would free fall and drop from the top of
1:32
the side down to the bottom but I hadn't
1:34
seen it working in a long time so I
1:35
guess they just decided it was time to
1:37
get rid of it going into park I don't
1:40
think I'm going to take the tram I think
1:41
I'm going to walk it I think I'm going
1:42
to hoof it in welcome everyone Adam
1:46
and appropriate well can you see it
1:49
t-shirt
1:50
Disneyland t-shirt also it's going to be
1:52
raining and stormy join me
1:55
shall you
1:57
um
2:01
I also brought my umbrella because I'm
2:01
pretty sure I'm gonna need this
2:04
it's been gone for a while and I really
2:07
started to miss the park so I'm glad I'm
2:09
back
2:09
hey we're cones the only game plan I
2:13
have today
2:15
or this evening I should say
2:17
just to have some fun that's it I'll
2:21
probably ride some stuff that's not at
2:22
Walt's original Magic Kingdom in
2:25
California and I'll probably
2:27
go on some stuff that is only here oh
2:29
it's been too long I have to
2:32
I
2:33
I have to it's been too long
2:42
there goes
2:42
the modeling
2:51
now will I take the monorail in or will
2:51
I take the ferry boat out the riverboat
2:58
probably the boat everything is good in
2:58
moderation it's good to do a lot of one
3:00
thing for a brief amount of time or a
3:02
10-year a time and then move on to
3:04
something else and then
3:06
Venture away from a subject matter
3:08
something you really enjoy that way when
3:10
you return you have a new appreciation
3:12
for it it's kind of that way when I
3:14
return to celebration after doing how
3:16
many days was it 80 Days on the road now
3:18
a couple days later stepping back into
3:21
wdw going into magic King tonight to
3:23
celebrate Disneyland's 67th anniversary
3:27
it's a little bit of a stretch but
3:30
you probably understand what I'm saying
3:31
right hello there heavy metal Mickey
3:33
it's gonna be lightning out later I
3:35
wonder if heavy metal Mickey because
3:36
well not metal but made of like 10
3:38
aluminum substance could get struck by
3:40
lightning
3:41
I also want to go on people mover and
3:42
Carousel of Progress because both of
3:44
those are now gone
3:47
from the Anaheim Disneyland park and I
3:49
have also really missed Joffrey's in
3:52
fact I got myself piping hot caffeinated
3:54
beverage from
3:56
and it looks like
3:58
exploring Ryan's over there getting the
4:00
caffeinated beverage also and to
4:01
formally introduce
4:03
exploring Ryan
4:04
so are you team Starbucks or team
4:06
Joffrey's oh Joffrey's every last time
4:08
yeah I do like I like Starbucks because
4:10
I've grown to love them because they're
4:11
just everywhere and anywhere but when
4:13
I'm at The Parks it's all about it's all
4:15
about the Joffrey's vanilla latte for me
4:18
uh regular coffee but hazelnuts and a
4:21
little Irish Cream
4:23
doubling down
4:25
and it's going to be Richard F Irvine
4:27
the boat that takes us across the Seven
4:29
Seas Lagoon and you can kind of see it
4:32
here it is slightly tarnished and rusted
4:34
out but this is Richard F Irvine a
4:38
little information about
4:40
the man himself
4:42
a lot of Disney history in there as well
4:44
that this thief seafaring vessel is
4:47
named after
4:49
particular behind us as well to refer to
4:52
him there you go yes so you're familiar
4:54
yes he helped build uh Disneyland
4:56

4:58
tie-in for the Disneyland 67th I've
5:01
already stated I want to go on people
5:03
mover and Carousel is there anything
5:06
else you would like to go on well
5:07

7:14
I'm coming up here you're gonna see my
7:14
Skipper Friends Ask me they said skip it
7:17

Rhino but if you run slow enough I'm
7:26
sure you'll end up getting the point man
7:27
eventually
7:29

7:35
so guys you know the difference between
7:37
an alligator and a crocodile no me

either yeah but we'll see you later and
7:43
we'll see in a while over here you'll
7:45

7:47
would be careful though because from
7:49
time to time
7:50
Ginger Snaps no she's not very nice
7:54
um but coming up here you'll see the
7:55
most beautiful thing in the jungle and
7:57
then right behind me you'll see stripes
8:47
I don't know if this will work for you
8:48
but it works for me every single time I
8:51
love you
8:52
I want a committed relationship I want

9:11

9:13
they're not butterflies that's crazy but
9:16

9:19
authentic 100
9:21
Majestic the most beautiful Eighth
9:24
Wonder of the world it's your favorite
9:26
part is not
9:27
oh
9:31
my God
9:41
okay can you talked about elephants um
9:41
I'm coming up here you'll see two baby
9:43
elephants yep you know what they're
9:45
doing
9:46
saving under a full moon in broad
9:48
daylight sounds so crazy now guys I
9:51
would be careful because from time to
9:53
time the elephants like to spray the
9:54
boat now a lot of people think that when
9:56
they spray the boat it's their spit but
9:57
I'm here to assure you
9:59
that's not
10:02
remain seated at all times now guys no
10:05
Disney ride would be complete without a
10:07
stop at the gift shop so coming up here
10:09
you'll see Trader Sam Smith happy
10:10
birthday they looked me in the eyes and
10:12
they said skip a Brendan we are so
10:14
incredibly proud of your sister you see
10:17
my sister's a doctor
10:19
um and you see I try to be a doctor but
10:21
I never really hesitations for all that
10:23
never really worked out
10:36
what's gonna happen here you can act a
10:36
little more excited
10:43
okay
10:50
get out
10:50
thank you
10:56
now at some point I would like to do the
10:57
Liberty Bell which is basically Walt
10:59
Disney World's version of The Mark Twain
11:01
going around the rivers of America we're
11:03
gonna see what time they stop running
11:05
for the night though so we decided to go
11:06
up in the tree house 7 PM is when the
11:08
the final rivers of America boat goes
11:10
around I don't think this applies
11:12
anymore but they still have the signs up
11:13
yeah considering the cast member on
11:15
Jungle Cruise while waiting in Matt cue
11:16
said to fill in all the available space
11:18
I think this six foot rule is probably
11:21
out the window at this point so I just
11:24
think maybe the signs are so tucked away
11:25
in here that they didn't realize there's
11:27
still some left and you get a pretty
11:28
good view up here you can look over
11:30
there and you can see Space Mountain you
11:32
can see Tron which I have not announced
11:33
an opening day yet and the castle over
11:36
there in the space Space Mountain and
11:39
one thing I find interesting about this
11:40
attraction nowadays queue lines are all
11:42
in this fashion so this is almost how a
11:44
queue line would be now except when you
11:46
get to the bottom there is no attraction
11:48
you know back in the day this would be
11:49
an attraction on its own but now queue
11:51
lines are so expansive and detailed that
11:54
there's a lot of queue lines that are
11:55
this good now and then you would just
11:57
get right into the attraction after that
11:59
so a lot of people consider this the
12:00
world's longest q line which is an
12:03
attraction some will say that
12:04
electricity hidden Mickeys down there
12:05
after climbing all the way up here it'd
12:07
be nice we could kind of utilize one of
12:09
one of the hammetts this is Fritz Fritz
12:12
Frost is in France's room and that gave
12:15
the perfect timing to make it back over
12:17
to the Liberty Bell gonna go around the
12:19
rivers of America with the Haunted
12:21
Mansion off in the distance love this
12:22
view one thing's for sure however as I'm
12:25
waiting for the boat to pull up even
12:27
though the sun is like behind the clouds
12:29
it's getting late in the day the
12:30
humidity level after it rained earlier
12:33
intense as Florin Ryan has got me
12:36
something that's going to make me a lot
12:37
smarter thanks for the water cheers
12:39
passing out at least
12:42
what do you think the humidity level is
12:44
out here right now all of it a little
12:46
bit of a line heading in here but not
12:48
too bad Beyond momentarily I'm standing
12:51
here at the back of the boat looking
12:52
down on the wheel was turning around one
12:54
of the cast members that is the pilot
12:56
here said that Ryan and I could go up to
12:59
where the the captain sits and get a
13:01
bird's eye perspective I've never done
13:02
that here I've done it at Disneyland
13:03
never at Walt Disney World so I said I
13:06
would love that it's like a Magic Moment
13:14
right up there in a little little Crow's
13:14
Nest yeah this is a place I have never
13:16
been it was a fan in here you got the
13:19
Mississippi River
13:21
it's a little bed over here I've never
13:23
been in here this is such a magic moment
13:26
right here going oh wow
13:28
so cool okay this is looking up the
13:31
staircase here we got the Louisiana map
13:33
you got the staircase cleaned down and
13:34
then this was looking out backwards
13:36
across the mansion
13:38
being wrong
13:51
now here is the can I grab this okay I'm
13:54
gonna spin this here I feel like I'm the
13:56
captain the captain of the ship oh this
13:59
is
14:52
and of course Big Thunder Mountain
14:52
Railroad over there which I want to do
14:54
there's the queue line and Splash
14:56
Mountain off in the distance look I'm
14:58
above the top of the roof of the boat
15:01
this is so cool got the windmill over
15:03
there on the island itself
15:05
all right here's one of the trains going
15:07
by looking at it from this window quite
15:10
the angle steer this steer the correct
15:13
way keep it on course there it is over
15:16
there the burning cabinet is filled with
15:18
smoke it is very Bountiful with smoke
15:21
right now look at that over there all
15:24
right here's a fun fact there's a switch
15:26
track here so if you want to get the
15:28
boat off the rivers of America this
15:29
right here spins around and the boat can
15:32
go back there for maintenance this right
15:33
here is on a switch track this bridge
15:35
right over here and then you're gonna
15:37
let go and you're gonna pull down for
15:39
one second six seconds back up one
15:42
second yes
15:52
there you go nailed it okay now here's
15:54
another fun fact on the clothes line
15:56
down here by the Mike think Keel boat
15:58
that's down there the miniature version
16:00
are is a clothesline with some of the
16:03
cast members clothes from Pirates of the
16:05
Caribbean they always change them out
16:06
but right now it is the clothing that
16:09
the cast member wear on Pirates
16:13
there's the mansion
16:25
foreign
16:31
got my pilot license not even a Mark
16:34
Twain it's a Liberty Bell pilot license
16:37
rivers of America in the Magic Kingdom
16:40
and at Walt Disney at dinner Walt Disney
16:42
World Resort World Magic Kingdom at Walt
16:43
Disney World Resort signed by Mickey
16:46
Mouse I didn't put my name in there but
16:48
yeah we were getting we were giving one
16:50
of these a little souvenir well that was
16:53
something that doesn't happen every day
16:55
no sir
17:03
this day is turning out to be amazing
17:03
incredible Jungle Cruise Skipper riding
17:06
in the pilot area on the Liberty Bell
17:10
got my certificate it's a good day
17:42
also that was the last circle tour
17:42
around the rivers of America for the
17:44
evening it is past 7 P.M so lucked out
17:46
now Ryan I had considered going to
17:49
Anaheim to the 67th anniversary of
17:52
Disneyland
17:53
I changed my mind I and now I am not no
17:58
regrets this is a this is a great day I
18:00
think this is actually probably more fun
18:01
than I would have going out there two
18:03
really good boat rides in one night and
18:06
we're not even done we're not done yet
18:07
there's still plenty of boats and other
18:09
rides I think and a track well they call
18:11
them attractions here attractions and
18:13
now this roaring water can mean only one
18:15
thing I am standing in the queue line
18:18
for one of my favorite attractions at
18:21
any amusement park Big Thunder
18:25
Mound
18:27
now
18:29
well the the rest of the mountain is
18:31
kind of blocked out by that I really
18:33
like the theming of the queue I like the
18:35
ride itself I dare I say my favorite
18:39
theme park attraction anywhere I don't
18:42
know which one I like more Florida
18:44
or anaheim's version what are we looking
18:46
at you're pointing down here that is oh
18:48
the beaver has nod away down there
18:50
still can't see all the time there it's
18:52
kind of blocked it looks like it says
18:54
it's a half hour wait which I am totally
18:56
down to wait a half hour I think I'm
18:58
going to skip Splash tonight though
18:59
which they announced a date when they're
19:01
gonna start on the reaper I think it's
19:03
going to reopen early 24 so that means
19:05
next year it'll probably go down
19:07
now don't fight or whistle and I always
19:10
like to show off these two little Easter
19:12
egg Secrets there's Tony Baxter up there
19:14
looking very dapper
19:16
have him to thank for this attraction
19:18
Tony Dapper Tony Dapper Tony Baxter the
19:22
imaginative and of course over here the
19:24
one and only Apple Dumpling Gang get my
19:27
shadow out of the way Don Knotts Tim
19:30
Conway a little look out for these two
19:33
claiming to be metal urgists they have a
19:37
little Apple Dumpling Gang Easter egg
19:38
there if you want to add to your layaway
19:39
plan and have mourners there for 35
19:42
extra dollars you can have extra people
19:45
morning
19:47
that's pretty interesting the Gateway to
19:49
the West sometimes I'm just going
19:51
through here so quick I never get to
19:52
read all these it's pretty interesting
19:54
yeah speaking of Disneyland a little a
19:56
little
19:57
wrap repair it's under Mesa to Rainbow
20:00
Ridge 10 bucks where you can go from
20:02
Quake City to Tumbleweed for only three
20:04
dollars
20:07
oh yeah I can't wait to get on that ride
20:10
vehicle now this is something really
20:11
interesting right outside the window
20:13
here is a squirrel eating what looks to
20:15
be a PB j sandwich of some sort peanut
20:18
butter and jelly sandwich squirrel just
20:20
chowing down on a little snack right
20:22
here on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad
20:23
not shy of being camera shy at all I
20:26
think that's a PBJ from what I can tell
20:28
now imagine if this if the ride track
20:30
went like this straight up and down like
20:33
this mine part is this is just straight
20:35
up and down imagine if that was the
20:37
Ascension like that that would be
20:39
something else and then look over here
20:40
another Apple Dumpling nod oh yeah I'm
20:43
about to get on the wildest that's a
20:45
they're having a party down there the
20:47
wildest ride in the wilderness oh yeah
20:50
going in
20:52
are you gonna say it what am I gonna say
20:54
am I supposed to say something right now
20:56
uh let's take them up
21:14
I feel like I should be saying something
21:14
just a little sport no no it's not that
21:18
something else
22:29
breathe
22:57
kind of sort of setting over there in
22:57
that little Hue in the distance over the
22:59
tree line
23:00
of rivers ah love that attraction so
23:03

23:05

that this was a better experience that I
28:32
would have had if I was at Anaheim at
28:34
Disneyland tough to say because I wasn't
28:36
out there experiencing that
28:39
but I do love Disneyland
28:40
I love the fact that it exists and the
28:43
fact that that exists
28:45
morphed into why this exists at Walt
28:48
Disney World I'll see you in the next
