1:02
pick up someone who's going to be
1:05
staying in the room with me invited
1:07
someone to tag along for the evening
1:10
I don't think they've ever stayed on
1:11
Disney property either
1:13
so that'll be fun with the reflections
1:15
of the clouds there on the water and the
1:17
grouping of lily pads
1:19
a moment ago I just opened up the app
1:21
and looked at my reservation the
1:24
specific name as I kind of screwed up at
1:26
the beginning is Copper Creek Villas and
1:28
cabins at Disney's Wilderness Lodge
1:30
magic kingd Magic Kingdom
1:33
resort area
1:35
I'll give the point scale and all that
1:36
kind of when I get there during the room
1:38
tour but heading out now
1:41
head in that direction and even though
1:43
it is the in the Magic Kingdom resort
1:45
area I will not be going in the park
1:46
this evening there will be no Park
1:47
hopping not even stepping in one park
1:49
I'm just gonna enjoy
1:51
the hotel
1:53
and it's amenities a little bit of cloud
1:55
formation today too most likely yeah
1:59
it'll probably get some sprinkles or
2:00
some heavy rain a little later look at
2:03
those clouds okay have made it in
2:05
through the checkpoint showed my
2:06
reservation it's 2 P.M
2:09
4 P.M is when we are going to be
2:11
checking into the room I say we it's a
2:13
special guest here
2:15
hi everybody my mom you know I got to
2:18
thinking well we used to come here on
2:20
vacation we never stayed on property oh
2:22
no we couldn't afford it since then
2:24
since then have you ever stayed on
2:26
property before I don't know one time my
2:29
sister was here her and her husband and
2:31
they stayed at Pop Century but I don't
2:32
think you stayed there that night did
2:34
you I'll stay with you one night
2:35
somewhere really
2:37
maybe I did I don't know I don't
2:39
remember either I've tried it yeah see
2:40
both of us have lost our memory as time
2:43
goes on I'm trying to think I don't
2:45
think you've ever stayed overnight
2:47
at a Disney hotel before yeah we stayed
2:49
I guess that was that uh that fancy
2:52
hotel over there on the international
2:53
flight that we would say oh that was a
2:55
Gaylord Palms yeah that's where we
2:56
stayed with yeah so that's that's a
2:58
little off-site not affiliated you're
3:00
right this is the Wilderness Lodge we're
3:02
going to be staying in the Copper Creek
3:04
Cabins and it still has not started
3:07
raining yet
3:08
but you definitely see the clouds there
3:10
it has the banners over here this is the
3:12
where you go into park we did some self
3:14
parking of course has the world's most
3:16
magical celebration banners up top and
3:19
just kind of head in we got a couple
3:20
hours for I could use my magic band for
3:23
self-check-in in order to open the door
3:25
so we're just gonna
3:27
do a little walk around see what we can
3:28
find inside the lobby now you can see
3:30
there's like an elk up top that's carved
3:32
into the side there there's a buffalo
3:34
and then you got like this is I don't
3:36
think we're gonna be inside the main
3:37
area like this it's kind of like main
3:39
lobby area I think we're on a ton of the
3:41
outskirts I just love the carvings in
3:43
here and how beautiful everything kind
3:45
of reminds me of Animal Kingdom Lodge a
3:46
little bit okay good news is able to
3:49
check in a little early even at two
3:51
something we're able to check in even
3:54
though it was technically until four
3:55
they said your room
3:57
is already available so we're gonna go
3:59
get the bags back out you see some fish
4:01
in here
4:02
no fish just just coins I guess they're
4:04
hiding
4:05
yeah there's some coins in there so I
4:07
believe one of the pools is going to be
4:09
straight ahead that way which is we are
4:10
staying in this area the Copper Creek
4:12
area but over the side of this building
4:14
is another section of Wilderness Lodge
4:16
where there's another Pool the one down
4:18
here I think is the main pool they call
4:21
it a quiet pool is the one just off site
4:23
just a little bit now just to show the
4:25
general layout of the land more or less
4:27
this is where we're going to be staying
4:30
we got check in over here where the a is
4:32
circled and there are three restaurants
4:34
there's a quick service over here in the
4:36
corner and there's one you do not need
4:38
reservations up here at F near the fire
4:41
rock geyser now if we wanted to go over
4:43
to Magic Kingdom or just go across Bay
4:45
Lake we could do that not necessarily go
4:47
into the park we go over to boat
4:48
Transportation might end up doing that
4:50
at some point I definitely know my mom
4:52
wants to hit the pools up so we're going
4:54
to go to the pool over there there's
4:55
also another section over here with
4:57
another Pool and I believe the gym is
5:00
down here as well so there is like a a
5:02
workout room as well Disney's Wilderness
5:05
Lodge has everything kind of showing a
5:07
place called Roaring Fork geyser Point
5:09
Bar and Grill Mercantile now I'll kind
5:12
of show all this all throughout the
5:13
course of the course of the day and then
5:15
also sit over here near F where f is
5:18
circled right over here on this little
5:19
Plateau near the water and that dock is
5:22
a good place to watch the the electric
5:24
light parade on water as well as the
5:27
fireworks which will be happening over
5:29
at Magic Kingdom kind of over there
5:30
grabbing my bags didn't really pack too
5:32
heavily because you know it's just just
5:34
one night but I got my Disney Vacation
5:36
Club bag my mom's excited she's already
5:38
she's already Off to the Races
5:41
she's ready to hit that pool what are
5:43
they
5:44
of course there's a wallpaper oh horse
5:46
Hooves yes oh yeah
5:49
little details down here with the horse
5:51
hooves
5:53
leaving now I didn't even notice that
5:55
before
6:01
looking at the recreation activities has
6:01
some of the things that are happening
6:03
going on I'm sure some of the activities
6:05
at the pool the craft of the day they do
6:08
a campfire every night from six to seven
6:10
and they do a movie by the Stars they do
6:12
Encanto at 7 30 P.M
6:15
movie by the star is Tuesday right
6:17
today's Tuesday as a recording so
6:19
Encanto would be tonight and now in the
6:22
room I always have this thing where I
6:25
start a room tour off by doing that so
6:28
I've kind of learned when I walked in I
6:30
thought oh the breaker might not be
6:31
working but you have to turn the master
6:33
Lighting on some of you have to put your
6:36
your key inside there with this one you
6:38
just kind of flip a switch and this is
6:40
called a deluxe studio room
6:43
mom's already got the seat over there
6:46
it's just a little miniature kitchen
6:47
this is enough for the two of us yep got
6:50
a no Keurig but you have a little coffee
6:52
maker over here with the Joffrey's
6:53
coffee you got the mini fridge down here
6:56
a microwave
6:58
a chair now there is only one bed but
7:01
this bed
7:02
here this looks like probably a
7:03
full-size bed maybe a queen but over
7:05
here to the side this is a pull out
7:07
couch
7:08
so there's this should be removable here
7:12
and kind of this will pull out into
7:14
a full-size couch and you got the
7:15
drawers over here one thing I've learned
7:17
from you is I always call these Chester
7:19
drawers because the way you your accent
7:21
you've always said Chester drawers but
7:24
I've learned over the years is
7:25
technically chest of drawers but our
7:29
family speaks so quickly there's just
7:31
Chester drawers so I can't look at these
7:33
and go Chester drawers you gotta move
7:35
these Chester drawers
7:37
that was my fault
7:40
and then out here oh look at this we got
7:42
a view of the pool we're on the first
7:44
level
7:46
wait a second I can't so we open this up
7:48
we got a view of the pool out here and
7:51
they're doing some trivia that's pretty
7:53
good we got a pretty close angle from
7:54
the pool
7:55
that's kind of nice
7:57
and there are two pools
8:02
but this is basically it I have to look
8:02
up exactly how many points this would
8:04
have been so I'm going to pull this out
8:06
oh yeah the bathroom I gotta go do the
8:08
bathroom tour
8:10
so do you want the you want the bed or
8:12
you want the pull out couch I'm going to
8:13
take the pull out couch you can have the
8:17
bed
8:18
oh that's all yours right there but I
8:20
think that this here is almost the same
8:22
size yeah it probably is has this over
8:25
here
8:30
got the air conditioner there
8:30
got the power plugs over here
8:33
you got the cord in there and you can
8:35
also charge your phone
8:41
I always try to look for the Gideon's
8:41
Bible sometimes they're in here and
8:42
sometimes they're not
8:56
and this is the
8:56
sink area got a couple of uh
8:58
little towels there got a little makeup
9:00
mirror here as well
9:02
and
9:04
fun fact but this company the H2O ocean
9:07
H2O plus ocean that has been I think for
9:09
like two or three decades in the Disney
9:11
Resorts this is now they're closing up
9:14
shop and they're no longer to be
9:16
furnishing
9:18
the room so this is kind of a rare treat
9:20
I'm sure these are probably they
9:21
probably have an Overstock of these but
9:23
in the future let's say five years from
9:25
now these will not be in the hotel rooms
9:27
anymore so that could be a little
9:29
souvenir
9:31
and down here you got the
9:33
toilet paper and whatnot
9:35
and there is a tub in this room
9:38
more of the H2O ocean over there but
9:41
there's also a tub you also have the
9:43
shower
9:44
as well and my favorite of all these is
9:47
the sea salt I always like the sea salt
9:50
body wash in fact I end up buying a big
9:53
vat of it for my place in Celebration
9:55
that I have as well and then a little
9:58
little Tiki totem here as well
10:07
all right what do you want to do first
10:07
what do you think the pool yes yes
10:09
you're just you're just ready for the
10:11
pool you've been that's the only reason
10:12
I wanted to come folks
10:19
you don't want dinner
10:19
okay you can get you could get four
10:21
people in here yeah two adults two views
10:24
put three children in here
10:26
sometimes some of the ones will have uh
10:29
an area over here that this will fold
10:31
out and you get another person sleeping
10:33
yeah each each Resort is a little bit
10:35
different
10:36
because there's a video plenty of
10:38
drawers yeah
10:41
one thing I always like is the ones that
10:43
have ceiling fans even though this one
10:45
does not have a ceiling fan I do bring
10:46
my own small fan I have it over in my
10:48
DVC bag
10:50
see this that's nice too another place
10:53
to sit yeah it's just open and you gotta
10:57
or a desk
11:02
I think this is mostly just you eat
11:02
probably out yeah you're going to eat at
11:04
the restaurants this is just a place
11:06
that you guys if you're staying at the
11:07
park so you want to use the pool or you
11:09
wanted to sleep
11:10
that's about it
11:13
and I got coffee coffee I almost said
11:15
coffees Joffrey's coffee
11:18
so in the morning we'll have coffee yeah
11:20
or later tonight we switch shoes Yeah so
11:24
basically this has to go
11:25
maybe over here
11:53
all right there it is there's my bed all
11:53
kind of made up if I need a blanket
11:56
there's the blanket that's inside the
11:57
the closet I'm going to take a little
11:59
bit of a stroll while she's getting
12:01
ready to
12:02
head over to the pool and then meet her
12:04
over there in just a little bit but
12:05
check out the elevators here pretty
12:08
fancy looking elevators first I thought
12:10
this was almost like a red light but
12:11
it's not a red light it's just
12:13
the painting on the side and this should
12:16
lead directly outside without taking an
12:18
elevator or anything passing by the ice
12:20
and vending machines
12:22
over here as well
12:25
oh I can't get out this way oh some
12:28
construction out there maybe I can't get
12:30
out that one time I made it out another
12:31
door
12:33
just kind of perusing the property here
12:34
just a bit
12:37
so you got Cascade cabins off to the
12:39
side Boulder Ridge Pool is to the right
12:42
there boat transportation and geyser
12:44
Point Bar and Grill is this way
12:51
you know I believe somewhere over here
12:51
they have some of Walt's train stuff I
12:55
gotta see if I can find that notice the
12:56
railroad tracks down here and then you
12:58
got Boulder Ridge Railway and Mining
13:00
Company with these huge Boulders in it
13:02
749 is the is what's written on the side
13:05
there and then over here is a big
13:08
water tower says Boulder Rich Railway
13:11
and Mining Company they also do some
13:13
fishing out here if you want to take a
13:14
pontoon out and do some fishing I love
13:17
this water tower
13:18
next to reunion station up here
13:23
so you see the crisscrossing of the
13:25
tracks here
13:26
actually got people out here fishing
13:27
right now at this very moment
13:29
hope I can get inside reunion station
13:31
because I think that's where they have
13:32
the Walt stuff
13:43
that's closed there is a possibility is
13:43
on a certain time frame a certain hour
13:45
time frame maybe
13:48
the Walt room with all the train stuff
13:50
isn't open right now at this time of day
13:51
our baby just hasn't reopened I'm not
13:53
really 100 sure but there are a lot of
13:55
boulders
13:57
boulderous regions and you can see DVC
14:00
which stands for Disney Vacation Club I
14:02
say DVC a lot but that's what it stands
14:03
for and I think I'm also definitely
14:05
gonna get my swim on oh wait perfect
14:08
timing I was just talking about the
14:09
geyser hit it oh I'm getting wet I'm
14:11
getting wet oh wow the wind is blowing
14:13
over this way it's getting all over my
14:14
camera
14:15
it's getting all over my camera
14:26
I wasn't expecting it so yeah
14:26
perfect timing though right over here by
14:28
the pool they'll call it geyser point
14:30
for nothing I'm pointing but the geyser
14:34
there you go change in my bathing suit
14:35
hit the pool up a little bit too
14:43
maybe every 15 20 30 minutes it's on a
14:43
timer
14:53
walking through the path of the
14:53
of the storm right there
14:56
like that's it there it goes
15:00
geyser point
15:03
it goes way up it sounds like they're
15:06
doing some sort of trivia and whatnot in
15:08
the pool just walking around the
15:10
perimeter I gotta go back to my room
15:11
change into my bathing shorts and then
15:13
hit the pool the infamous Copper Creek
15:16
Falls which is right here around the
15:20
corner in the grand reveal Copper Creek
15:25
Falls very very
15:27
photogenic Falls if I do say so myself
15:30
now there are two different pools here
15:32
there's one that's called a quiet pool
15:34
and then there's one that's called
15:36
that's just a regular pool like the main
15:38
pool which is the one we're kind of
15:39
swimming around in now which is the main
15:41
pool they're having like activities and
15:42
things like that and playing some music
15:44
and whatnot but then also it's kind of
15:46
neat there's not only a water slide but
15:48
it's also like a little water area that
15:50
comes from the lobby and that ends up
15:52
like kind of
15:53
flowing down into the water itself
15:57
that's kind of neat yeah kind of see how
16:00
it just kind of goes in it's not like
16:01
this isn't a water slide even though it
16:03
is a water slide in this pool this is
16:05
not the water slide
16:06
and also I believe these magic bands are
16:08
waterproofly so I hope they're
16:09
waterproof because I'm in the water with
16:11
this magic band that was total a long
16:12
time ago the Magic Band the new Magic
16:14
bands are waterproof I think they are
16:17
head over to the hot tub now there's a
16:19
hot tub here come on all right here
16:20
we're in the hot tub now and it feels
16:24
great for these old bones it looks great
16:27
and from the view of the hot tub well
16:30
they call it a spa here the spa rules
16:32
the Spy hours 10 to 10 but the geyser is
16:37
going off you see the Mist in the air
16:38
and the guys are right through those
16:39
trees and there's also a splash pad
16:41
right here fill it up look at that
16:42
splash pad over there adjacent to the
16:44
hot tub so it fills that bucket up and
16:46
then it'll Splash all over you have you
16:48
ever been in a hot tub before well the
16:50
geyser is going off adjacent to you
16:54
and then a bucket filling up in a splash
16:57
pad
17:03
and here's an up close view so it's zero
17:03
feet at the edge one foot at center for
17:06
the splash pad itself right here
17:09
a little like water cannons and
17:11
everything too pop the buckets going
17:13
down
17:13
there it goes
17:18
this is what they call this the quiet
17:18
pool
17:24
oh so beautiful with the flowers you
17:24
love the flowers living in Florida you
17:26
have flowers all year round what kind of
17:29
flowers would these be
17:30
there's light black-eyed Susans
17:34
I don't know what the restaurant that's
17:35
a black-eyed Susan right here this blue
17:36
one nope this one oh that one
17:39
that's a black eye Susan okay I don't
17:41
know what's the name of the rest of them
17:42
are cool so Boulder Ridge Cove is what
17:45
they're referring to as the quiet pool
17:47
which I think is more kind of
17:49
more of an adult pool and I think it's
17:51
kind of neat about this it starts off at
17:53
ground level and it just kind of goes in
17:55
so I'm walking in it's almost like a
17:57
beach is it cold
18:04
but you're basically going in right now
18:04
it's about a shin deep and it's going to
18:06
get down to Knee Deep and it's just
18:08
going to continue in so you just kind of
18:09
like walk in you don't have to like go
18:11
down some stairs or anything from that
18:13
particular angle kind of right over here
18:15
it kind of just kind of escalates
18:17
escalates down
18:19
more or less a lot colder than the other
18:23
this one's a lot a lot colder than the
18:25
other pool this is the colder of the two
18:26
fulls we also just got out of the hot
18:28
tub so that might have something to do
18:30
with it too but this one's a little
18:30
chilly it's a little chilly so they have
18:32
these little bean bags over here too
18:33
this is called cornhole you try to get
18:36
the corn hole over in the the cornhole
18:39
area that didn't work
18:41
but one time when I stayed at Hilton
18:43
Head I tried it one time I got a whole
18:45
oh that was a hole in one nailed it I
18:47
didn't notice this so my mom just
18:48
pointed out I walked by this a minute
18:50
ago well earlier before we went in the
18:51
pool the water from over here the stream
18:54
from where the geyser this this probably
18:56
is not chlorinated water would that be
18:58
chlorinated water going out into Bay
19:00
Lake probably not so where would that
19:02
stream be going maybe that's the stream
19:04
that goes through the resort itself not
19:06
from the pool I don't think that's
19:07
that's not overflow from the pool right
19:09
there in the middle of the screen
19:10
there's a big old crow
19:12
of some sort okay here is the test does
19:15
the match is the Magic Band
19:17
waterproof I just kind of like check and
19:19
see if the Magic Band works it worked
19:24
waterproof Magic Band
19:26
gotta get changed go get some food we
19:28
got Copper Creek Falls here this is kind
19:30
of looking that the other way we were
19:31
kind of curious so we must run through
19:33
the hotel itself
19:35
and then down but the thing is that goes
19:37
into the pool
19:42
that does go into the pool so that's
19:42
kind of kind of interesting so this is
19:44
looking downward and then I put the
19:46
camera up we got a photo of mom and I at
19:47
the base of this kind of looking up
19:50
as well
19:52
and a little fort posterity if you will
19:54
a little documentation of
20:01
mom and son staycation you will oh wow
20:01
it looks like okay is that the rocket
20:03
that's been postponed for a bit the
20:05
rocket just go off
20:06
I think the rocket just went off over
20:08
there walking out to the boat dock
20:10
doesn't look like we're gonna make this
20:11
boat across Bay Lake but yeah take a
20:14
look something went off over there
20:16
actually from this angle right above
20:18
where River Country used to be
20:30
this wind sock it's kind of kicking
20:30
around with the breeze a little windy
20:31
out here
20:32
nothing as windy as it was when
20:34
hurricane rolled through by any means
20:36
but definitely a strong little wind
20:41
and the boats are on a pretty quick
20:41
cycle there's one here pulling up to the
20:43
port pulling into the station
20:50
it is not it never rained surprisingly
20:50
it never rained
20:52
foreign
21:26
even though we didn't pop in the park at
21:26
all it's kind of a nice little view here
21:28
from the Seven Seas Lagoon looping
21:31
around now and heading back to the hotel
21:33
train station and the castle over on the
21:37
distance there
21:39
Space Mountain
21:42
and the ferry boat taking guests back I
21:45
think the Halloween parties happen at
21:46
night too we're not going to Halloween
21:47
party either but I think the park closes
21:49
at six tonight so everyone's leaving and
21:51
as another one pulls out we are now
21:53
pulling fast over to our Dock and from
21:56
six to seven they do have the campfire
21:57
out here and people making s'mores and
22:00
just right next to where the campfire is
22:01
happening and the s'mores is geyser
22:03
Point Bar and Grill look at this that's
22:05
the geyser right there now what we were
22:07
just told is going to be about a 40 to
22:09
45 minute wait so we opted to just order
22:12
to go and we're gonna sit over here at
22:14
these tables
22:16
that's what we that's what we opted out
22:18
for so instead of eating at the
22:19
restaurant we're eating over here which
22:21
in all honesty I think works out a
22:22
little bit better we get a better view
22:24
just by ordering takeout getting in the
22:26
box and not sitting over near the bar
22:28
area I think this works out a little bit
22:30
better
22:36
and I believe from here also once the
22:36
fireworks happen over at the Mickey's
22:38
Not So Scary Halloween party over there
22:40
we should be able to see them here from
22:41
the shoreline and that did not take very
22:43
long at all this is what we're dealing
22:46
with right here in a big bag I was able
22:48
to carry it all over here there's some
22:50
toast down in here
22:53
Yeah Toast
22:56
heck I don't even remember at all we
22:58
ordered
22:59
this is like a chicken wing a salad
23:01
that's a that's a salad I ordered I
23:03
ordered salad and what's in there oh
23:07
that's fries that's your French fries
23:08
there this is I can't pop it open
23:12
I don't know what that is well I got
23:14
shrimp down in here okay I went with
23:17
some shrimp or shrimp those are your
23:19
chicken wings you got chicken wings and
23:21
then I also got this I never could
23:22
pronounce what this is called but it's
23:24
basically a meat and cheese platter
23:26
uh some other little additives in there
23:29
some little pickles some grapes
23:32
things like that but I got the little
23:34
shrimp skewer if I don't think there's a
23:36
skewer on there but it's just shrimps
23:38
down in this little little package so we
23:40
got a little Smorgasbord of items here
23:43
so we can kind of off to the table meats
23:46
and cheeses shrimps and a salad I ended
23:49
up adding some chicken on this looks
23:52
like there's squash on here squash
23:55
that oh I think that might be a mushroom
23:58
of some sort I don't know what this is
24:01
there's a name for it but I can't
24:02
remember what the name of it is and then
24:04
over here you got some cucumbers got
24:06
some onions I added a little chicken
24:10
peppers down in here
24:12
and then I've taken the top of the tray
24:15
off
24:15
of a little cheese and meat dessert
24:18
I think there's any crackers that go
24:20
with that but usually there's like
24:21
crackers oh it's the bread
24:24
okay that makes sense that makes sense
24:26
and then the shrimp down here
24:39
they're delicious
24:39
Teriyaki flavored yup and little sesame
24:42
seeds on there some kind of seeds on it
24:44
how many sesame seeds
25:29
the family at the next table over
25:31
dropped a grape and a squirrel is
25:34
consuming it I have this thing where I
25:36
see squirrels eating things and I'll
25:37
focus in on it for a while the wildest
25:40
thing I've ever seen about wildest white
25:43
ride in the wilderness Big Thunder
25:44
Mountain I saw a squirrel once in the
25:47
queue line eating a peanut butter and
25:49
jelly sandwich snackable
25:53
and uncrustable
25:54
this was not eating an uncrustable
25:57
because eating a grape
25:59
it might be the same squirrel it's now
26:01
turned its back on me
26:03
don't turn your back on me squirrel what
26:06
did I do to you
26:43
I will say the geysers going off again
26:43
too I kind of stood up and walked over
26:45
here a few feet show the geyser from a
26:47
distance because now it's exfoliating
26:50
itself up to the heavens
26:59
I don't think that's the right word
26:59
exfoliating but
27:02
project tiling up to the heavens
27:10
pulling back inside the main lobby now
27:10
look at some of this artwork up here we
27:11
got some Snow White
27:13
Seven Dwarfs artwork up here with uh
27:15
that's Snow White evil queen right there
27:19
dwarfs a little them going across the
27:23
log across the water
27:25
and also going to stop inside the
27:27
Wilderness Lodge Mercantile established
27:31
1994.
27:37
I guess that's when the lodge itself was
27:37
built 1994 about the same time as
27:39
celebration the celebration was 95 or
27:42
94. I can't remember about the same time
27:43
mid 90s and have some products geared
27:46
specifically and themed around the
27:48
Wilderness Lodge in fact there's a piece
27:50
of artwork there with it on it and you
27:52
could really get into the vibe if you
27:54
were wearing one of these it's these
27:56
caps right here skin caps and a
27:59
rustic fireplace over here as well well
28:03
that feels really good she feels really
28:06
good in that fireplace going on right
28:08
there and then over here is some
28:10
specific merch as well we got the the
28:12
Disney's Wilderness Wilderness Lodge a
28:15
little like long sleeve right down here
28:17
and then we got
28:19
Snow White down there on that Wilderness
28:21
watch I guess Snow White really is yeah
28:24
you even have the poison apples here
28:26
not digging it huh it's on the back side
28:29
of this
28:31
oh there we go check that out
28:34
another dwarfs there
28:36
and here's the
28:38
the box it even says on the top it has
28:43
a little inscription here say Snow White
28:46
and the Seven Dwarfs on top of it
28:49
it's pretty cool and just like every
28:51
Resort they do pen trading in here as
28:54
well I didn't bring my pens with me but
28:55
they do pen trading here look at that
28:56
little eight bit can't back out into the
28:59
grandness kind of reminds me of Grand
29:01
Californian just a little bit kind of
29:03
reminds me of that uh over in California
29:05
in Anaheim kind of gives me that Vibe
29:08
just a little bit not not exactly but
29:10
kind of has that Vibe as well that's
29:12
what it reminds me of and it is now 7 30
29:15
just about time for the movie to start
29:17
they got the inflatable screen up with
29:19
the movie going on directly behind me
29:21
over here they are putting together ice
29:24
cream Sunday so movie taking place over
29:26
there ice cream sundaes over here
29:33
so that's going to come out all right
29:33
ended up being nine dollars at the DBC
29:35
discount but check it out one person
29:37
scooped this one another person scoop at
29:39
this point look at the different size I
29:40
don't know which one my mom's gonna want
29:42
to which one I'm gonna want I'll let her
29:43
choose all right movie's over it was
29:45
pretty good first time seeing it outdoor
29:48
in the nice cool crisp night air Florida
29:50
looking up top there you see the Moon
29:52
kind of peeking up over
29:54
the top of the building
30:00
just a few more minutes probably about
30:00
10 15 more minutes and then the water
30:02
the electric light water pageant
30:04
will be happening so we're just kind of
30:06
wandering around until then
30:13
which I believe starts over seven seas
30:13
Lagoon
30:14
and then makes its way across the water
30:16
Bridge
30:17
and then over
30:19
to Bay Lake Bay Lake
30:22
has been around even before Walt Disney
30:24
World
30:25
and then they built the Water Bridge and
30:27
Seven Seas Lagoon
30:29
man-made portion of the waterways here
30:32
outside Magic Kingdom
30:35
fun fact
30:38
we were talking earlier about we wonder
30:39
if the water is chlorinated
30:42
pool chlorine is definitely very
30:44
noticeable from here
30:46
still very curious about this this has
30:48
to be chlorinated if it's something in
30:50
the pool yeah
30:58
I just wonder if if this one has been
30:58
recycled and it's coming around and
31:00
going back around
31:11
and I have decided to get
31:11
walking in here with a little Quick
31:12
Service plates and got myself a hot
31:13
cocoa
31:19
also it's like
31:19
it was looked up 70 degrees for this
31:21
area it's also very windy because it's
31:23
right on the water
31:25
we're gonna head back over and watch the
31:27
water pageant now this worked out pretty
31:30
well by the time I ended up getting my
31:31
hot cocoa walking back out to Bay Lake
31:33
they're making the announcement for
31:35
those of us at Wilderness Lodge we'll be
31:37
able to watch
31:38
the electric light pageant
31:41
some other dogs like parade except it's
31:43
on water and it goes from Seven Seas
31:45
Lagoon Ventures around and then ends up
31:47
over here at Bay Lake and you know all
31:51
the
31:52
all the the famous floats that are going
31:54
on the boats are to be accounted for
31:57
peach Dragon definitely probably my
31:59
favorite
32:00
you know I guess I just love
32:01
Elliot and Pete's Dragon and all that
32:03
but they just have all the other ones as
32:05
well
32:06
kind of scattered through the like all
32:09
presenting themselves starting off with
32:10
peach dragon and working its way down
32:13
across the Waterway all illuminated lit
32:16
up
32:17
making the tunes
32:19
as well and then after after all of them
32:22
are shown in all their glory and I was
32:23
able to zoom in luckily you know it
32:25
wasn't right off the shore it was kind
32:27
of a I'd say maybe halfway between the
32:28
shoreline and halfway between what used
32:31
to be Discovery Island kind of I don't
32:32
know maybe like
32:33
75 100 yards offshore give or take is
32:37
where the floats were and then right
32:38
after that it went into the American
32:41
flag and kind of a a salute to America
32:45
as well and just kind of showing that as
32:48
you know over here on Bay Lake as well
32:51
after
32:52
you know the cast of characters like the
32:53
octopus and Pete's Dragon and all those
32:56
and King Triton at the end you do the
32:58
America
32:59
American flag and and then there was a
33:01
50 tag a 50th anniversary of Walt Disney
33:04
World Tag at the very end of it which
33:06
was kind of a nice touch it was the last
33:07
of the three different serieses which
33:10
means each boat lights up three
33:12
different times
33:13
for different themes pretty dang awesome
33:16
and pretty cool to see it from from this
33:18
angle from Wilderness Lodge I've never
33:20
seen it from welder's Lodge before it's
33:21
pretty awesome and it is very brisk out
33:23
here my mom did not bring a jacket but
33:25
she had a pretty good hack and she just
33:27
got a towel from the room she's using
33:29
the towel that's a good idea
33:32
and from this angle looking over the top
33:35
of the Contemporary and Bay Lake Tower
33:36
able to watch the fireworks from the
33:39
Halloween
33:40
Mickey's not so scary and that's going
33:43
to do it for today from Bay Lake
33:48
and the Wilderness Lodge
33:55
pretty impressive fireworks show I
33:55
didn't think I'd be able to see it from
33:59
I mean I thought I'd be able to see
34:00
definitely be able to see it in some
34:01
facet but I didn't think I'd be able to
34:03
see it as well over the top of the trees
34:05
and over the top of the Contemporary
34:07
over the top of Bay Lake
34:10
with where the kind of spotlights are
34:12
showing is where
34:13
the castle would be where Cinderella
34:15
Castle would be and then the farther
34:16
Fireworks off behind the castle which is
34:20
basically where when you're standing in
34:22
the perspective in front of the castle
34:23
you have the kind of big explosions
34:25
behind it giving that perspective but
34:27
I'm looking off way off to the opposite
34:30
direction from Bay Lake and over seven
34:32
seas Lagoon
34:34
all in all a pretty fantastic day
34:37
nice room nice meal
34:40
nice Ambiance good with my Mom spending
34:43
time with my mom
34:45
I think she really enjoyed it as well
34:46
enjoyed the fireworks enjoyed the food
34:50
and just having a good time a little
34:52
steak it's called the staycation
34:55
if you will because you know we both
34:56
live locally so it's not exactly
34:59
not exactly a vacation because we didn't
35:01
really travel and commute too far but
35:02
staycation
35:04
you could say all together I say that
35:08
that's gonna do it
35:10
for today
35:12
from Copper Creek Villas and cabins at
35:14
Disney's Wilderness Lodge
35:19
our turn in
35:19
see the next video the Vlog
