0:04
12th
0:06
2022 a little miniature waterfall right
0:09
here on the little Canal on Water Street
0:11
in celebration of Florida and getting on
0:14
my car I'm gonna go
0:15
pick up
0:16
my mom who is going to be tagging along
0:19
this evening for a DVC stay at Saratoga
0:23
Springs resort Disney Vacation Club I
0:28
have a room so I will be doing a tour
0:30
also be Meandering around the property
0:32
and just showing what it's all about
0:35
and then having a little staycation with
0:37
my mother which is always nice she
0:39
really
0:40
she enjoyed the ones I did last week
0:42
so I figured
0:44
she'd probably enjoy this one as well
0:46
join me and once I pick her up her as
0:48
well shall you still have plenty of time
0:51
normally checking is until four but I've
0:53
had pretty good luck lately with some
0:55
early check-in so we'll see what happens
0:56
this also has to take into account for
0:58
me driving over to my parents place
1:00
which takes a little while too so by
1:03
time I probably even get over
1:05
to the Disney Springs area which is
1:07
where Saratoga is on the other side of
1:10
Lake Buena Vista
1:12
kind of where the oh there goes the
1:13
little bike moving there it'll probably
1:15
be probably closer to one by the time I
1:17
even get go pick her up and then get
1:19
over there
1:19
but sometimes I'll let you do early
1:21
check-in even though technically it's
1:22
informed
1:31
and good news
1:31
at 12 30 p.m the room is already ready I
1:36
went ahead and did mobile check-in
1:37
online
1:38
and even though 4 pm is when you're
1:41
supposed to check in
1:43
12 30.
1:45
P.M
1:46
staying in mom's already ready over
1:48
there hello
1:51
we're staying here in an area called The
1:53
Springs it's like almost like a little
1:55
Lighthouse there
1:58
this is pretty close in proximity
2:01
to like one of the pool areas the bike
2:04
rentals places like that there's a
2:06
little chimney
2:07
up top there
2:21
pretty soon you're going to be an expert
2:21
at this whole Resort DVC thing
2:24
you can you can get used to it
2:26
this is the third one you stayed at so
2:29
this be this will be the third one
2:30
you've stayed at yeah go ahead and
2:32
taking the elevator up
2:39
artists never everybody eat
2:39
we are going to be eating later I booked
2:41
a reservation for the Turf Bar and Grill
2:44
but they also have the artist palette
2:47
The Paddock Grill in a place called
2:49
census but this is the one I booked the
2:51
reservation for a little bit later they
2:53
get like 650 tonight so I just realize I
2:57
have no clue where I'm going
2:59
so we're going to go to a different
3:01
level they also have a Community Hall
3:03
you can check out DVDs play video games
3:05
they have horsing around rentals movies
3:08
Under the Stars a campfire and High Rock
3:11
Springs and Paddock pool
3:22
and not a bad view this just shows how
3:22
close proximity to Springs it is
3:25
do you remember Downtown Disney
3:27
back in the day remember that
3:29
terminology
3:30
so Disney Springs is
3:33
pretty much what Downtown Disney used to
3:35
be that they just added to it you can
3:38
see the balloon over there kind of
3:39
peeking through the trees Cirque du
3:41
Soleil House of Blues
3:43
and there's an identical
3:46
the springs
3:48
building right over there so I guess
3:50
most of DVC stays are probably in the
3:53
springs
3:54
wings
3:57
and I always like to start off every
3:58
room tour by putting a little little
4:00
lock on there kind of showcase what
4:04
the entire room looks like mom's already
4:08
out on the balcony getting a view of the
4:11
of the Overlook that's out there so you
4:13
got a little coat rack here if you
4:14
wanted to like put your your coat and
4:16
accessories on then you walk in this is
4:18
called the deluxe Studio I believe
4:21
Deluxe studio and this is you know it
4:24
was a
4:26
wow I think it's the first time we've
4:27
ever stayed in one of these where there
4:28
is a vacuum here you have a mini fridge
4:33
here you have a coffee maker a toaster
4:35
no Keurig but you do have the 50th
4:38
Anniversary Joffrey's blend over here
4:40
small sink can opener paper towels
4:44
microwave up here uh let's see that's
4:47
not where the cups would be
4:50
I can't okay there's some stuff down
4:52
there ah the cups are right there if it
4:54
was a snake
4:55
it would have been made decent size
4:57
accommodations in here
4:59
as far as the facilities go no tub but
5:03
there is a walk-in shower in this
5:06
particular room anyway
5:07
there you go there's the the shower head
5:10
up there and the soon to be erased from
5:13
existence Disney H2O Plus
5:16
items also I didn't I didn't know this
5:18
all about a year ago but this is for
5:19
your swimsuit so my mom and I were gonna
5:22
go swimming a little bit later
5:23
we'll be utilizing that stretching it
5:26
over here and putting our swimsuits on
5:30
got the H2O plus there as well a little
5:33
makeup mirror here and one thing that's
5:35
really nice about this room is there is
5:37
a ceiling fan up top trying to get it to
5:40
turn on oh there it goes so there is a
5:42
ceiling fan which I now some of the
5:43
resorts do not have ceiling fans this
5:46
one does have
5:48
a ceiling fan this is very horse famous
5:50
based on Saratoga New York and this is
5:54
interesting there's no door here across
5:56
the closet got the drawers here got a TV
5:58
got the remote I got my DVC bag down
6:01
here
6:02
and stepping out how's the view
6:05
very nice man beautiful Fountain over
6:09
a little Lagoon
6:18
like a geyser almost of some sort right
6:18
in the middle
6:19
kind of soothing you can tell how long
6:21
this place has been around because these
6:24
trees were probably small and they
6:25
planted them look how big they are now
6:27
yeah they're grown
6:29
I'm not sure I know Old Key West that's
6:31
next to this I know that's one of the
6:32
oldest resorts on property
6:34
to be honest I probably should look up
6:36
to see when this Resort first open it
6:38
probably has been here a few years
6:39
usually you don't plan to treat it's
6:41
already big so usually you put a tree
6:44
that's pretty small and then it grows
6:47
because this has been around for a while
6:50
hello this section here you know all the
6:53
tall trees because look at that pine
6:54
tree over there yeah that's been around
6:56
a while also there's two seats you got a
6:58
seat here got a seat over here and you
7:01
got a place to put our coffee it's over
7:03
in the corner it's a double bed plenty
7:05
of outlets in here as well so the other
7:07
one we stayed at last week there were
7:10
well we stayed at two different ones one
7:11
of them had two queens but one of them
7:13
had a queen and had a pull out couch
7:18
is that a pull-out couch
7:33
how does it pull out
7:33
oh you know what it might be uh oh
7:35
what do they call these the uh the ones
7:37
that are inside the okay this pulls down
7:41
you can have the couch just sit on
7:43
during the day and then during the day
7:44
we got that and then
7:46
this comes down this way
7:52
so this pulls down
7:52
thank you
7:58
just like that
7:59
this will be my bad that'll be yours
8:01
it's a nice mattress too yeah this will
8:05
definitely sleep a lot more comfortable
8:06
than they pull out couch I was on last
8:08
week
8:09
The Stables
8:12
got the horses there and the Stables got
8:15
the Hidden Mickey over on the side
8:28
got lots of places to put your
8:28
but this does not have a kitchen oh yeah
8:31
here it is
8:35
this is very nice
8:38
got the microwave there
8:40
so we got our coffee
8:52
we got plenty of creamer I know how you
8:52
like your creamer yeah I do okay I just
8:55
looked it up this Resort opened in 2004
8:57
it's probably had some remodels so it
8:59
has been here a while so 2004 it's been
9:00
18 years
9:02
this Resort let's see if we can check
9:05
for The Gideons down here nope no
9:06
Gideon's there yeah there it is there's
9:08
The Gideons
9:10
so you got a decent size here we can put
9:12
our phones over here we can charge them
9:13
and that in that section so 2004
9:16
is when this resort was built this room
9:18
was 15 points if you're keeping up with
9:20
DVC Point Rentals for this time of year
9:23
and this night now one thing we did we
9:24
stopped at the store on the way in and
9:27
picked up a case of water which kind of
9:28
left a few of them in my car but
9:31
you got the one left over from last time
9:33
and then bought another case of 24 so
9:35
instead of buying a bunch of bottles of
9:37
water we just buy the bulk one and just
9:40
bring a few up at a time when we need
9:41
them and put them in there I generally
9:43
try to keep the average night points
9:46
that I use at 15 a night currently I
9:49
have 200 points a year now the way that
9:51
works is that is good for the entire
9:54
length of a contract so it's not just
9:56
200 points for one year but it over you
10:00
know 40 to 50 years based on will buy
10:02
home resorts my home Resort is not this
10:04
one my home Resort is Riviera I have 150
10:07
points there and then 50 points at Grand
10:09
Floridian
10:12
but even though your home Resort or the
10:14
other two you can book at any of the
10:16
other ones the only difference is the
10:18
timing window my home resorts those two
10:19
I mentioned I can book 11 months out
10:21
where something like this I can only
10:22
book seven months out but thankfully
10:24
this is a pretty expensive property and
10:26
there's plenty of room so 15 points per
10:28
night for these accommodations this time
10:31
of the year
10:32
as they're recording
10:44
got Woody and Buzz there
10:44
oh yeah plenty of bus transportation
10:46
coming through here
10:51
yeah if we had a group of four we could
10:51
get this one
10:52
he or the group of two so if we rented
10:54
one of these at some point during our
10:55
stay
10:56
we probably just need the two-seater
10:57
like this these are the prices
11:05
before maybe like a year ago pretty fun
11:05
also if we just wanted to have a regular
11:07
bike to have these little little Cruiser
11:09
taxis here as well and here's a general
11:12
layout of the land we are here
11:15
This Is Us you can just see how
11:18
expansive this whole
11:19
process is all those are tree houses you
11:22
can stay in treehouse Villas that's a
11:24
separate section but yeah there's tree
11:25
houses here
11:26
uh I think that's over yeah I guess that
11:29
would be offside to here walk walk away
11:31
to the tree houses there's the
11:33
grandstands there's the carriage house
11:35
we're gonna walk up and show that we're
11:36
staying in the Springs area there's also
11:39
the paddock Congress Park and the
11:42
carousel this place is huge you know
11:45
tomorrow we go see all these places in
11:46
our bedrooms we'll do the buggies
11:48
tomorrow
11:49
spoiler alert in the morning and then we
11:52
also walkway to Disney Springs we could
11:54
go over there tomorrow too
11:56
so then you got to walk away to Old so
11:58
Old Key West is co-joined
12:00
with Saratoga and again this is all
12:03
someone was yelling over there this is
12:04
all themed around horse racing and
12:07
horses you know just like Saratoga New
12:09
York so you got the horse here you got
12:10
the jockey on there and then you got the
12:13
performance hall over here and then the
12:14
carriage house right over here and it
12:16
just makes sense to be in front of the
12:18
carriage house would be a carriage
12:20
itself a horse-drawn carriage so you got
12:22
the carriage here and then you got the
12:24
horse and some artwork in there with
12:26
some of the different horses from some
12:27
of the animated features reminisces
12:29
reminisces of Saratoga lake and even
12:32
though my magic band is linked up to my
12:34
room went ahead and went into the guest
12:36
services front to get a card to give to
12:38
my mom so she can get in and out if she
12:40
wants to kind of roll off on her own
12:43
and in all his glory Maximus Tangled
12:46
right here
12:52
it was here they didn't have a lot of
12:54
this in here I think it's been remodeled
12:55
a little bit there's a store in here
12:57
called the artist palette which is like
12:59
Quick Service stuff they have some
13:01
fruits some veggies some beverages
13:02
things like that they got some snacks
13:04
some Bakery items some of those lemon
13:06
burst cookies I like so much they got
13:08
the bakery items down here then they
13:10
also have some quick service food up
13:12
here I think my mom's going to grab a
13:13
little bit of a sack I might wait till a
13:15
little bit later so I'm going to eat
13:16
quite a bit at the at the restaurant I
13:18
don't know maybe I'll get something from
13:19
here too but this is kind of the
13:20
opposite of Caesar salads and pizzas and
13:23
things like that now I ended up getting
13:24
a coffee here a 50th Anniversary coffee
13:26
inside the artist palette mom got a
13:28
little soda right there we also heard
13:30
that when we go over to the pool we'll
13:31
be able to get a there's like a soda
13:34
stand at the pool so if mom wanted to
13:36
refill for the next two hours as one of
13:38
these little chips on the bottom of the
13:40
on the bottom of us to let you know you
13:41
get refills up to up to two hours also
13:44
inside the gift shop they have a lot of
13:45
DVC stuff some of the stuff I haven't
13:47
even seen before specifically to you
13:50
know Destin Ford Saratoga Springs
13:52
foreign itself but then there's also
13:54
some new DVC items that I kind of
13:56
haven't seen at some of the other stores
13:57
some kind of you know hooded sweatshirts
13:59
and things like that as not only
14:01
Saratoga Springs proper but also Disney
14:03
Vacation Club which is kind of nice
14:06
they're starting to present more
14:07
merchandise you know for those who who
14:10
enjoy the DVC studies but kind of
14:12
tempted to get something but I don't
14:13
think I might get anything anything
14:15
today but good to know it's here and
14:18
and you ended up ordering you got a
14:19
pepperoni pizza mom yes I'm hungry
14:21

14:23
before the meal later on for the feast
14:25
tonight before the feast number 84. what
14:28
happens is called a little this is a
14:30
Tracker you put it on the table and they
14:31
know where we're sitting and they'll
14:32
bring the pizza over to you now this
14:34
place was called the artist palette and
14:36
it's very kind of artsy through here
14:38
even with the light the unique lights
14:40
and artwork through here and the
14:42
unveiling that's a pretty decent sized
14:44
personal pan and guess what what's
14:46
happening you're gonna put all of it
14:49
you're gonna eat all of it I think so
14:53

14:55

14:59

15:25
right there all right now heading out
15:27
gonna walk over to the pool also known
15:30
as High Rock Spring up here there's a
15:34
lot of waterfall the pool down below and
15:37
here's some of the resort activity so at
15:38
8pm they do so what is today today is
15:42
Thursday today's Wednesday so to do an
15:44
Emperor's New Groove tonight right here
15:47
they also do Mickey tie-dye they do
15:48
Derby Splash you do a campfire things
15:51
like that so they do quite a bit
15:53
quite a bit of different things the the
15:55
bike rentals are open until 6 30 and
15:57
then everything else is open till 10 if
15:58
you wanted to rent a DVD and things like
16:00
that lots of poolside activities and
16:02
whatnot as well with the pool being
16:04
right down there and another you are
16:05
here so basically where we're staying at
16:08
the Springs really the closest pool is
16:10
going to be this one there are a lot of
16:11
different pools over the different areas
16:14
so you got a pool here
16:17
over at The Paddock I think there's
16:18
another couple pools over here but the
16:20
closest one the one we're going to be
16:21
frequenting is this one here next to the
16:24
springs next to the carriage house all
16:25
right ready for the pool
16:27
it's pool time
16:33
got the Disney transport Cinderella bus
16:33
here the castle the carriage and then
16:36
another one approaching over here this
16:38
one goes over to the front of Disney
16:40
Springs obviously if we were to walk
16:42
over to Disney Springs
16:44
really need to take the take the bus
16:52
lots of us I got the logo and everything
16:52
up there
16:53
as well
16:55
what would this be called it's not a y
16:57
it's not like a water tower but
16:59
just the design of the building I guess
17:04
I don't really know what that's supposed
17:04
to be I guess it's just the design of
17:06
the side of the building I'm gonna go
17:07
head back to the room now change into
17:09
our bathing suits I want to definitely
17:12
want to check and see if they have a DVD
17:13
player all right get a DVD
17:16
later and this just shows the proximity
17:19
to the balloon over at Disney Springs
17:26
that's a big stable over there that
17:26
orange building yeah
17:30
all right just check there is no DVD
17:32
player in the room it must be one of
17:34
those things if you need one you can
17:36
request one they'll come install one for
17:38
you it's not that big of a deal I mean I
17:40
would have rented a DVD as a novelty I
17:42
mean I have Disney plus I can watch
17:43
stuff on my phone and probably projected
17:45
up on the TV but
17:47
yeah sometimes they'll have DVD players
17:49
and I believe this one does too but I
17:51
think you have to probably go to the
17:52
front desk and request one and they come
17:55
plug it in for you all right it's not
17:57
that big of a deal all right in the pool
17:58
now there is a really triumphant looking
18:01
waterfall right here interactive water
18:03
feature they call them read the signage
18:05
off to the side over there I'm noticing
18:07
not only they have the pool but they
18:09
also have a hot tub it appears that the
18:10
hot tub is under I don't know if it's
18:12
under maintenance not under construction
18:14
because I don't have anything like
18:15
blocking it off but it just says that
18:17
the pool is closed the hot tub is closed
18:20
for now maybe
18:21
maybe a little bit later it'll be open
18:23
but right now cannot get in the hot tub
18:25
I love all the water features that are
18:27
through here and they kind of like do
18:28
some games or do some trivia and whatnot
18:30
while in the pool pretty nice pool I've
18:34
never been in this pool before I did
18:35
stay here a while back but it did not go
18:37
in the pool but today I'm in the pool
18:39
mom and I are enjoying some pool time as
18:43
she states she's a fish
18:45
actually just she just she wants to go
18:47
right to the pool so I'm getting a
18:49
little more for more pool time than I
18:51
normally get in at some of my resources
18:53
thanks to her and we have found an
18:56
active hot tub there was two over here
18:58
in the pool there so the other one over
18:59
there was close it says no diving
19:00
obviously
19:02
we have the hot tub here and also the
19:05
magic band is waterproof just to confirm
19:08
you enjoy it you're enjoying the bubbles
19:17
and this is considerably warmer than the
19:17
pool and the bubbles are fully on at
19:20
operation let the bubbles do their job
19:24
warmth and Bubbles combined
19:27
for a very enjoyable experience what'd
19:31
you say last time you're here your weary
19:34
bones this is good for my weary bones
19:36
all my aches and pains
19:52
lots of water this hat is not shielding
19:52
myself from the water elements
19:55
but it kind of feels good the water's
19:56
splashing on my big brimmed hat as I sit
20:00
underneath the water effects of the
20:02
water fountains here at Saratoga Springs
20:05
Resort
20:12
and I am washing the Rays lean
20:12
this hat
20:14
s team
20:15

20:17
I don't know just like still thinking
20:19
about the first season
20:21
big brimmed hat
20:28
and add some more buses pull into the
20:28
station over there I'm noticing over
20:30
here at this window not only is there
20:31
many with a rubber ducky there take a
20:34
look up here five-legged Marigold Mary
20:36
Blair goat from the Contemporary mural
20:39
this must be like some sort of like a
20:40
scavenger hunt that they do heading back
20:42
to the room now looking at all these
20:44
birds up here
20:49
all those crows looks like something out
20:49
of the
20:51
something out of the Hitchcock The
20:52
Hitchcock
20:55
proud
21:19
now we're making our way over for our
21:19
dinner reservation but noticing that
21:21
there is basketball courts back here and
21:22
I saw something that you could just go
21:24
up to the center over there and sign out
21:27
basketball so if you want to play
21:29
so I'm gonna shoot some hoops or you
21:32
wanted to play some tennis over here
21:34

21:36
and then over here in this building is a
21:39
DVC preview Center and on the other side
21:41
the previous Center as we're gonna be
21:43
walking over to the restaurant
21:44

21:48
to seven they do
21:50
some s'mores some little campfire s'more
21:53

21:55
neat but we don't want to spoil our
21:56
appetite because we're gonna go get some
21:58
food
21:58
for dinner
22:06
we are now heading over to the Turf Club
22:06
Bar and Grill which we made a
22:09
reservation for and so yeah you saw some
22:11
of the the clothing the jockeys wear and
22:14
walking up down this little little
22:16
carpet down below here there's a couple
22:18
of jockeys over there this says
22:22
they're weighing in back in 1929.
22:38
you got the mobile menu and then you've
22:38
also got the the regular menu it was
22:41

22:59
does that go over to Springs
23:02
Disney Springs
23:07
there's a golf course over there
23:09
and this has a very Caddyshack type of
23:12
vibe
23:13
a place you could
23:15
definitely see Rodney Dangerfield
23:17
walking in talking about a hat going
23:20
with a free bowl of soup and we're set
23:22
pretty quickly after getting here and
23:24
getting the notification
23:26
Frito Mista which I didn't really know
23:28

26:00
now she did describe everything that was

about this being on this but that is a
26:10
decent size piece of pork chop here
26:13
you need some kind of beans right there
26:17

26:42
started putting on the menu it's like an
26:44

27:09
by or operated by Arnold Palmer golf

27:15
look in there you can see some of the
27:16
stuff on the greens all Hidden Mickey
27:17
and from here
27:19
one of the boats going by kind of
27:21
looking across the parking lot across
27:23
Lake Buena Vista at the balloon and
27:27
is over there take a look there's The
27:31
Nightlife
27:32
of Disney Springs with the boats going
27:34
by I don't call them friendship boats
27:36
they
27:36
are there well maybe they might be a
27:38
friendship boats but the boat's going by
27:40
across Lake Buena Vista so you basically
27:42
have House of Blues
27:44
over on this end
27:46
and then you got
27:48
former
27:50
virgin mega store AMC Theaters all that
27:52
over there you got Planet Hollywood over
27:55
here followed by the other sphere the
27:57
balloon the boat's going by the boat
28:00
house off in the distance
28:06
Disney Springs and correlation right
28:08
next to where we're staying at Saratoga
28:10
Springs there's a lot of Springs a
28:12
little earlier we were talking to a cast
28:13
member
28:15
and asked what they use these Vans for
28:18
and he was saying he had worked
28:20
out at the parks for over 30 years and
28:22
he's been with DVC it says 91 when it
28:24
started
28:25
he was saying basically these will take
28:27
you around to different properties and
28:29
show you some of the rooms you want to
28:30
look at certain rooms if you're
28:31
inquiring about Disney Vacation Club and
28:34
he also said sometimes they use these as
28:35
like magic moments if you see someone
28:37
walking around the resort or waiting at
28:39
the bus stop
28:41
sometimes they'll just pick up random
28:42
guests and say hey where you headed next
28:44
to Magic Kingdom and they'll just give
28:45
them a Magic Moment
28:47
let him ride in in the van there's
28:48
passenger seats in the back of these
28:50
vans as well
28:52
and here is the pool lit up at night
28:56
we'll still open till 10. it's uh about
28:59
10 minutes till 8 right now this is the
29:01
back but I guess this would be the back
29:03
side of water
29:05
with the waterfall flowing down there
29:12
oh the arcade sign over there is lit up
29:12
too forgot to check out the arcade the
29:14
weather is so nice out here
29:16
it's like one of those
29:21
I'll say rare ties but one of those
29:21
times in Florida the weather is actually
29:23
really nice and one thing I really like
29:25
about this pool they also turned off the
29:27
fountains over here even though the
29:29
pool's still open a little like almost
29:31
looks like Chip and Dale type of they're
29:33
not but it looks like kind of how Chip
29:34
and Dale like kind of spitting out right
29:37
here but I like how this is almost like
29:39
a beach-like beach style where it just
29:42
starts off shallow and then makes its
29:44
way down and goes into one foot to you
29:47
know one foot three meters and then over
29:49
across
29:58
now I see the neon for the arcade
29:58
but where is the Arcade
30:01
see the signage win play or Show arcade
30:05
maybe it's just theming
30:13
it's right there this door is closed off
30:13
all these doors are closed off
30:16
maybe it's just a maybe it's just a
30:18
theming thing it's around the side over
30:20
here I'll walk over there and look I was
30:22
just informed that there really is an
30:25
arcade
30:27
just got to enter in from a different
30:28
area
30:29
also this is the hot tub that's not
30:32
operational but we use the other one
30:33
we're told to go around this way and get
30:35
into the arcade okay found the arcade
30:37
the arcade has another little smaller
30:39
signage over here right underneath where
30:42
this mat is but going in the arcade yeah
30:45
the only a few people in there there's
30:47
maybe like two or three people total in
30:48
there but a lot of arcade games a lot of
30:50
the newer versions of arcade but I did
30:52
find two kind of retro retro games as
30:56
well they were kind of like combo retro
30:58
games but at least there's some sort of
30:59
rep retro represented inside the wind
31:02
place or Show arcade and inside the
31:04
community room take a look at all the
31:05
movies here so here's all the DVDs you
31:07
basically just choose what you want
31:09
whether it be G PG pg-13r or they also
31:12
have board games and then you just tell
31:14
them which one it is out of the book
31:15
here and they will get your DVD for you
31:18
and I also asked them they said that you
31:21
have to call the front desk and it takes
31:22
about 30 minutes for them to break it
31:23
and install the DVD player so we're not
31:26
going to do that because I do have
31:27
Disney plus but this is kind of like a
31:28
pretty neat novelty to see all the
31:32
different ones that they have in here so
31:34
if you're staying for a while if you're
31:35
taking for staying for definitely a
31:36
series of days it's kind of worth
31:37
calling the front desk getting the DVD
31:39
player and kind of making
31:40
making the thing out of it check out the
31:42
pictures over here we got Walt over here
31:44
doing his little Mickey animations and
31:46
whatnot now here are some very unique
31:48
kind of squiggly looking plants a little
31:50
almost like a corkscrew up type plants
31:53
here I don't think they grow that way
31:55
they probably designed
31:57
to be done that way
31:58
like fashioned into that
32:00
design maybe they're just trimmed that
32:03
way I'll probably just trim that way
32:05
I don't think there's any wire in there
32:06
oh there's no maybe wire
32:09
so you think they're just trimmed that
32:10
way
32:12
you remember Cypress Gardens Cypress
32:15
Gardens yeah we have all kinds of stuff
32:17
to sculpture
32:18
they sculpture those like that okay all
32:21
kinds of designs out of trees and stuff
32:23
it's pretty neat
32:25
and that's gonna do it for today from
32:27
Saratoga Springs had an enjoyable day a
32:30
lot of pool time a lot of Hot Tub Time a
32:32
lot of food time
32:34
a lot of walking around time
32:40
it was fun
32:40
time to turn in
32:42
go back to the room
32:45
see in the next video the Vlog is over
32:47
I'm also noticing on the lights here in
32:49
the hallways
32:51
take a look there's horses there
32:54
the Riders on top of them as well
32:57
right here on the on the legs of the
32:58
hallway
33:00
perfect timing because I think it is now
33:03
starting
33:05
to rain
