everyone Adam the woo here in a little
0:06
bit of a disguise because this is the
0:08
first time in my entire life that I have
0:11
had just a
0:14
mustache on my face there was one other
0:17
time 20 years ago I did a little
0:19
mustache took a photo shaved it off but
0:22
I have never gone out and
0:25
about
0:27
with
0:28
this don't know if it's G to last more
0:31
than a day but I thought you know what
0:33
heck
0:34
it try it on forze see how it goes and
0:40
just see where it leads I'm inviting you
0:44
to join me as I go on another
0:47
Transportation device now I have taken
0:49
my JY E2 glorified golf cart out and
0:51
about I've taken my bicycle out and
0:53
about around celebration and now I'm
0:55
going to take my scooter for the first
0:58
time since since I've been here in this
1:00
new Homestead around celebration and
1:04
maybe over into no man's land of 192
1:07
don't know how far to go on a charge
1:09
well let's test it out I'm inviting you
1:11
to join
1:13
me I don't know about this thing shall
1:16
you forgot to add in that as the
1:19
recording of this it is Wednesday
1:21
January 31st 2024 the last day of the
1:26
first month of this new
1:28
year 2024 is already 12th of the way
1:34
over you give or take a
2:00
mph but usually don't go go that fast I
2:00
usually go like maybe up to
2:02
10 I'm also in need of a new pair of
2:05
sunglasses so other than taking the
2:07
scooter out probably should purchase a
2:10
new pair of sunglasses the one I've had
2:11
for like the last year was all misshapen
2:14
and bent on my face and now they're
2:17
missing I don't know I lost them
2:18
somewhere who knows so it's now time to
2:21
get another pair of sunglasses while I'm
2:23
out and
2:26
about it's bright out here also looking
2:28
at myself in the C camera while I'm
2:30
talking to the
2:32
camera I don't know how I feel about
2:34
having the old mustache kind of looks
2:37
ridiculous so this is the high
2:46
boy got this a couple years ago and I
2:46
first purchased
2:48
one when I ended up going out to
2:51
California I was visiting out there and
2:54
my friend German in Venice he let me
2:57
utilize
2:58
his and then I was messaging back and
3:01
forth with him I said what was the one
3:03
that you had he said you get the high
3:04
boy so I took his recommendation and I
3:07
purchased this one a couple years ago
3:09
and I have not been disappointed with it
3:11
but that's the brand that I use I know
3:12
there's like dozens of different brands
3:15
but that's the one I have guess you can
3:16
say the one thing I don't like about it
3:18
is there's no side mirrors on it I'm in
3:20
front of the hospital here no fishing I
3:22
was also letting you know there Gators
3:24
and snakes do not feed the wildlife stay
3:27
away from the water and the reason is
3:30
cuz you never know when one of these are
3:32
looming see when I take my my uh
3:35
glorified golf cart out or my bike out I
3:38
got a little mirrors on the side this
3:40
has no mirrors so sometimes you don't
3:41
know what's happening directly behind
3:44
you but other than that I love this
3:51
thing just lakes and
3:51
Gators everywhere out here well I'm not
3:54
seeing any Gators in the frame right
3:56
now pretty sure they're in there lurking
4:00
looming living their
4:06
lives I think I'm going to go to Duncan
4:06
up here going to go to Duncan as much as
4:09
I do with Starbucks it's a little
4:10
farther but I'm hit Duncan today also I
4:12
passed by this many times but I've never
4:15
actually showed what this building is
4:18
even though celebration was built by
4:19
Walt Disney World back in the
4:22
mid90s they no longer are affiliated
4:24
with the ownership of it however there
4:27
are still a lot of WD
4:31
you offices on property including
4:34
technology and digital the Disney Cruise
4:37
Line and the Walt Disney World Resorts
4:39
Park sales and services so a lot of cast
4:42
members right here in
4:45
celebration working not only in this
4:47
building but one on the other side of
4:49
the complex and the other side over
4:53
there and then right on the corner of
4:55
bua Deo and Maple Street Biscuit Company
4:58
over there behind that is the the Dunkin
4:59
Donuts that I'm heading over
5:13
to never really know what to make of
5:13
this building it's just it's pretty
5:15
incredible I'm just like what the heck
5:18
is this thing and this big pylon pyramid
5:22
in the middle
5:23
here wild I keep
5:26
forgetting there is
5:28
a a mustache right there my hair is very
5:31
unkempt also because of the
5:41
wind right next to Chipotle the Basin
5:41
Robins Duncan
5:50
hello some was just yelling me out their
5:50
car window from
5:52
192 I didn't go with ice cream or
5:54
Chipotle I went with regular
5:58
coffee couple creams and the sugars two
6:01
creams Two Sugars what did I get there
6:03
it is two creams Two Sugars large hot
6:06
original
6:08
coffee see it kind of oozing down the
6:11
side all right I'm going to walk a
6:13
little bit with this here at Marker 8
6:17
consume this and then pop over to a gift
6:19
shop over there and even though my hair
6:21
is disheveled I have the secret stash on
6:25
my face I'm only outside of my Homestead
6:29
for a little bre half hour and I've
6:32
already been recognized this disguise is
6:35
not
6:36
working dang
6:44
it someone already recognized me
6:44
fail that's actually not why I did it
6:47
but I was thinking maybe no one would
6:49
recognize me ah what can you do yeah
6:53
this is some seriously Swamp Thing Vibes
6:56
through
6:57
here right here along Highway
7:00
192 see the sign there for celebration a
7:03
which leads Water Tower Plaza right up
7:06
here take a right you go into
7:09
the the celebration
7:16
itself I've never walked along this
7:17
little platform before
7:19
ever these coupon book signs here so you
7:23
see there's like a a platform well not a
7:26
platform but a backside of a sign here
7:29
they have all these coupon books which I
7:31
don't think anyone ever utilizes very
7:35
rarely hot
7:37
deals find the
7:40
fun big deal coupon book right
7:45
here hotel coupons in this day and age
7:48
it always amazes me with the internet
7:50
how it is a Trader Jake look at that
7:54
Trader Jake right here that's dated from
7:57
December of 23 so that's relatively new
8:00
right there look at this all water
8:02
logged weather worn orientation Maps
8:06
magazine that shows you the layout of
8:08
the way kind of hard to read though got
8:10
the hotel
8:11
coupons oh yeah America's favorite
8:14
coupon book back in the day used to be a
8:17
Chinese food place in St Cloud that had
8:19
buy one meal get one free this is the
8:20
'90s you could go with a
8:22
friend I don't even think that place is
8:24
still open anymore I think it's now a
8:26
Mexican restaurant but yeah they would
8:28
utilize that book and there's the water
8:30
tower over there has no water in it it's
8:32
not a real water tower I mean it's a
8:34
real water tower it's just for
8:52
assumption trickery gift
8:52
Outlet mugs $1.99 Disney teas here at
8:57
the gift Outlet follow the arrow
9:08
599 I'm always
9:08
curious someone sees a sign for mugs if
9:11
they pull off up that car just pulled
9:13
off once wanted to get themselves some
9:14
mugs I'm looking for sunglasses I also
9:17
have no lock on this thing so I might
9:19
end up walking out and it might be gone
9:22
I'm just going to bump in here real jump
9:24
in here real quick try to get a pair of
9:26
sunglasses going in a
9:30
accomplished so these might not last
9:37
more these might not last more than a
9:37
day either cuz I don't sometimes these
9:38
like polarized
9:40
lens don't do well with my
9:43
eyes like they kind of like hurt my eyes
9:45
a little bit they give me like a
9:47
migraine so I'll see how these do so if
9:50
you don't see these tomorrow you know
9:52
they're
10:01
not also good
10:01
news was not
10:03
stolen also
10:06
inside a very large Gator that was
10:09
stuffed supposedly a real Gator that was
10:18
stuffed and I noticed something's going
10:18
on here at this former motel around the
10:20
side also this GI her gu for Less closed
10:23
a few months ago also the Travel Lodge
10:26
in is also closed but seems to see some
10:28
activity around the around the side see
10:29
what's going
11:04
help scooting around you can't scoot
11:04
around here no scooting no scooting
11:08
right sounds good thanks all
11:24
right I guess I must have missed the no
11:24
scooting signs out front I was looking
11:26
for some signs here that said no
11:28
scooting but
11:35
interesting all right so I got to
11:35
remember from now on no scooting allowed
11:37
back in
11:38
there ah there's dang no scooting
11:53
laws I also just realized what's
11:53
watching that clip back that if I put my
11:55
camera here and I'm trying to steer I
11:58
might want to have it just elevated a
11:59
little bit off of where I'm holding it
12:01
cuz it was a little too shaky but you
12:02
get the idea also in all the years I've
12:05
been around these parts I have never
12:07
stood or sat right here where this
12:10
little Fountain
12:11
is you're beautiful Fountain got Oldtown
12:14
CMI over
12:20
there it's also fascinating to me that
12:20
this area is technically called I guess
12:23
Century City but it's spelled with an X
12:26
when I think it's Century City I think a
12:27
Century City in LA
12:30
kind of over near where like di hard was
12:33
filmed but this is ex Century
12:37
City which I've never heard this area
12:39
ever referred to as it as this always
12:41
just CMI or the cuspus celebration you
12:44
know what I'm saying evidently it's
12:47
called this at least this Walgreens is
12:49
designated that it just seems like a
12:51
couple months ago this whole new
12:52
development that's happening right in
12:54
front of my eyes wasn't even here it's
12:56
like a whole new apartment complex Popp
12:58
it
13:11
up this area is just growing
13:11
exponentially so fast Central Florida is
13:14
you know it's wild I never realized that
13:15
all this parking was back
13:18
here now I don't see any signage it's
13:20
all about the
13:21
signage sometimes you have to go at your
13:23
own your own accord but sometimes it's
13:24
very difficult to find parking at
13:25
Oldtown which is right across the street
13:27
but there's a lot of parking back back
13:29
here probably for this restaurant but I
13:31
can't imagine it ever being full
13:35
again probably frowned upon to park back
13:38
here and go over to Oldtown but there's
13:39
a lot of parking back here and it's just
13:41
you know few hundred yards from 192 and
13:44
then you can cut AC cross over also I
13:47
feel as if one day might not be in the
13:50
next 5 or 10 years but one day when this
13:53
area keeps growing that they're going to
13:55
have to build some sort of a pedestrian
13:57
bridge over 192 over to Oldtown over
14:01
there because there's always especially
14:03
on the Saturday night cruise people
14:05
cutting across the dark Lanes of traffic
14:08
and that can't be
14:10
safe so if they had like a pedestrian
14:12
bridge or something that'd be pretty
14:13
awesome but I don't know if that's in
14:14
the and the budget for for CMI or
14:19
not anyway food for thought and there's
14:22
your answer additional parking in the
14:24
rear for Grand does patrons only parking
14:28
for Grand Oaks Plaza
14:31
only that authorized Vehicles will be
14:33
towed at owner's expense don't park back
14:43
there don't do it ah yes Sarah Lago
14:43
hotels and
14:44
sweets I stayed here first time I went
14:48
back to Walt Disney World after not
14:50
going for a few years I stayed right
14:54
here me and my friend Justin scar stayed
14:57
here
14:59
I think that was summer of
15:05
2015 right here next to Oldtown about
15:05
couple blocks away from Oldtown and it
15:07
looks as if only about half of the motel
15:09
is currently open they have the other
15:11
half over here not even accessible
15:13
they're just not even renting out the
15:15
second portion over there probably
15:16
because there's not enough to does it
15:18
make sense to have all the rooms open so
15:20
it's just like half the half the place
15:21
yeah I chocked this one up to things I
15:23
didn't realize till
15:25
now there is a tennis court back here
15:28
and
15:29
a basketball court doesn't look like
15:30
it's ever been been used or it hasn't
15:32
been used in a long time that's what I
15:33
should be
15:42
saying look at
15:42
this tennis basketball cour to operate
15:45
light set timer for desired play time
15:46
when lights go off it'll take 15 minutes
15:49
to reset there's the timer I'm not going
15:52
to turn that on cuz I don't want the
15:53
lights to go on but there it is all
15:55
chained up does look like it's
15:57
open no pets are allowed back here they
16:01
got the
16:10
cones there's a basketball hoop right up
16:10
there okay so it's more more of a tennis
16:13
courts but even though those are kind of
16:15
SE better days there is a basketball
16:18
hoop interesting right tucked away back
16:22
over here in a half used
16:25
hotel pretty neat architecture back here
16:28
with these little pillars almost like
16:29
castle like weird castle like pillars
16:31
back here
16:33
also check out that
16:36
4x4 someday Jennifer someday it kind of
16:40
reminds me of that as I carry on oh wow
16:42
it is
16:43
windy take a look at this decrepit
16:46
fallen down sign to for a place called
16:49
Magic Village that is going to be built
16:52
here the magic
16:55
Village by P nen fornia that's what that
17:00
says p i n i n
17:12
fornia all this little wooded swampy
17:12
area who knows how long that sign's been
17:15
there I never even noticed it
17:17
before also look at these very well
17:20
manicured beautiful Hedges something
17:21
Edward Scissor Hands would commend
17:24
except he would
17:25
probably style those into some sort of
17:28
an an animal or a human being but
17:31
yeah never noticed
17:33
the nicely trimmed
17:36
foliage down here just to give some
17:39
bearing I passed Sara Lago the Big
17:41
Orange is way down there oh dang all
17:43
right so the magic Village stretches all
17:46
the way this far right next to Cracker
17:49
Barrel so that's like a good foot
17:57
footprint of where it's going to be and
17:57
it's going to stretch jump off that it's
17:59
going to stretch all the way over
18:07
here The Rock Church is over there in
18:07
the distance you can kind of see
18:16
that I mean look at this next to Club
18:16
Windam which is behind Cracker Barrel
18:18
like they're going to build a road back
18:28
here also looks like some one's got
18:28
their RV little uh boondocking back here
18:31
nice or quite possibly could have
18:35
been a maintenance guy or a construction
18:40
place and that's just their their mobile
18:43
unit
18:44
there it's a lot different with that
18:46
building now torn
18:52
down the old movie Rider building sign
18:52
still there
18:54
though here's a pretty untraveled road
18:56
that runs parallel to 192
18:59
all these little motels back here and
19:02
Resorts I guess maybe even
19:04
apartments that are unbeknown anyone
19:06
traveling down
19:07
192 and
19:09
clearly even when they do put up signage
19:12
for rules it always works right signage
19:15
always always
19:24
works that is a massive camera on the
19:24
side of that look at the size of that
19:25
camera
19:27
there
19:29
it's like a pig sty through here I don't
19:33
even know what that word means but used
19:35
to hear it growing up my room was a
19:46
sty don't really hear that phrase Too
19:46
Much Anymore look at this bird right up
19:49
living in the
19:56
trash swooping there swooped over that
19:56
truck going back over to the other truck
19:58
trash fied little side
20:09
road now I didn't have really an
20:09
intention to stop by the Big Orange
20:11
today cuz I'll feature it pretty often
20:14
but they have repainted the top portion
20:17
they pressure washing it a few days ago
20:19
and now it is painted more orange and
20:22
now they're working on the base of the
20:23
orange in fact they're kind of removing
20:26
part of the old stuff there was a fire
20:27
here about 10 11 months
20:30
ago thankfully did not destroy the
20:41
building they're fixing it up I like
20:41
that this is back around the back of the
20:43
Rock Church you see the main gate flea
20:45
market over there it looks like a couple
20:47
days a week they do like a line of
20:49
vehicles will pull up here people come
20:50
here and get some
20:51
food which is a really great thing that
20:55
they
20:55
do I'm not sure if it's put on by by the
20:58
church or maybe what other one of the
20:59
organ organizations that's in the
21:02
complex here but take a look at this old
21:05
tram look at this thing it's like an old
21:10
tram that you'd see at like a theme park
21:12
it's just like tucked away around the
21:15
back here and then there's one of the
21:17
old tram
21:19
seats over here so still says for your
21:23
safety stay seated at all
21:26
times this is directly around the back
21:29
of Hope thrift in fact I
21:32
recognize those doors because when
21:34
you're in Hope thrift you go to the very
21:36
back section where they have a lot of
21:37
the kitchen stuff and the lamps you can
21:39
look out here but I've never stood in
21:40
this back Courtyard
21:54
before just fun exploring around seeing
21:54
things you don't normally
21:55
see I like it
22:01
look how this is probably very well
22:01
themed at one
22:03
point check it out you got like a little
22:05
wooden bridge right there probably not
22:07
structurally sound to go across or maybe
22:10
it is I'm going to go over there and see
22:11
this looks like it was like the back of
22:13
a themed restaurant I don't think it's
22:15
used for anything now other than
22:17
storage and this Pond this retention
22:20
Pond here that the bridge goes over this
22:22
rot iron metal look at these
22:25
little like brochure holders or candle
22:28
holders
22:29
here think I should go across
22:32
this go across it why
22:35
not I'm doing it oh ooh that is
22:38
creaky oh oh that is very very creaky
22:41
that was probably not a good call that's
22:44
probably was not the smartest call doing
22:54
this that is very very
22:54
creaky oo okay I think I'm good and
22:58
obviously when there's plenty of signage
22:59
saying something is being renovated and
23:01
coming
23:02
soon I'll usually keep my distance I
23:05
won't go into an area where there is
23:07
signage everywhere so right up here the
23:10
earo which I mentioned before I had fond
23:12
memories of this place when my family
23:14
first visited in the '90s one of the
23:16
well maybe the second or third time we
23:18
visited cuz I think my mom brought me
23:19
here in the 80s we came back in the well
23:23
actually no it would have been the 80s
23:24
we moved here in 91 so this would have
23:26
been yeah it would have been the late
23:27
80s we stayed here when this was a hotel
23:30
and now they're changing to something
23:31
called the erlo now cannot go past here
23:34
so they do have the signage just like
23:35
that other place when I said they said
23:37
no scooting there was no fence or no
23:39
signage so I just thought thought it was
23:40
okay to just scoot back there but that
23:43
was frowned upon but I will be staying
23:45
here once this reopens cuz I have a few
23:48
fond memories of being here at this
23:50
property when uh my family visited Walt
23:53
Disney World my sister was very young
23:56
see mid 80s I that have probably been
23:59
the formidable years 11 12 13 perhaps
24:04
somewhere around there let me see if I
24:05
can dig up a little more information on
24:07
that before this place is completed
24:09
however it has been being renovated for
24:12
a long time so I don't know I don't know
24:15
when it'll finally open anyway moving on
24:18
whoa there's a mountain here in Florida
24:22
look at this
24:23
mountain is this the highest elevation
24:26
here within a few mile
24:29
radius it might
24:31
be it might be quite the burm up here in
24:36
fact you can't even see down into
24:39
there from the roadside in fact I never
24:41
even knew there was like a little cusp
24:43
into that wooded area
24:52
before don't get much elevation here in
24:52
Central Florida don't think about
24:54
Florida there's a lot of things I like
24:55
about Florida and one thing I dislike is
24:58
the heat in the
24:59
Summers and the fact that it's just so
25:01
flat there's a lot of things I like
25:03
about it but yeah those are two things
25:05
that you don't get too many hills and
25:07
mountains around here I'm embracing this
25:10
little 12T elevation I turned off over
25:13
this direction you can see where I just
25:15
was all those new apartments that are
25:16
being
25:22
built surprisingly even though this
25:22
whole area is definitely
25:25
growing still a lot of pasture land out
25:27
here some cows check it out who knew I
25:29
mean I knew they were here but yeah a
25:31
lot of people don't realize there's cows
25:33
right here near
25:55
grazing and they are neighbors to the
25:55
Magnificent Resort Gaylord
26:07
building it's also very interesting see
26:07
there's no signage here fence is still
26:10
down with the former Orlando Sun
26:20
Resort I'm not going to go up in there
26:20
today and maybe in a few months if it
26:22
continues to
26:29
deteriorate I might go back up in there
26:29
and check it out a little bit more but
26:30
yeah it's just interesting how you a lot
26:32
of these you can just go while I've been
26:34
there oh it's windy took my card up in
26:36
here the other day you can just walk up
26:39
in here ride a bike up in
27:06

27:06

27:10

28:24
indication that it's charging ah here we
28:27
go yeah it's
28:29
charging yeah I really like taking this
28:31
out I definitely
28:35

28:39
bike but sometimes you can just zip
28:42
