nice Skyliner goes from here
2:30
and then I have to get a connecting
2:33
Skyliner over to Epcot which is right
2:36
over there you kind of have to go around
2:37
about out of the way direction to get to
2:40
Epcot Center instead of going straight
2:42
that way you have to go that way first
2:45
but you know what I love being on the
2:47
Skyliner I love Transportation devices
2:49
at at the Disney World I don't know
2:52
where I was going with that oh yes a
2:54
thing of beauty thing of beauty I never
2:57
noticed there's a there's a sign right
2:59
here on the set that says Disney
3:00
Skyliner it's kind of silhouetted out by
3:03
the way the sun is but yeah it's right
3:05
there you can kind of see it right there
3:06
the Skyliner going off into the distance
3:08
love this I'm kind of curious which one
3:10
I'm going to get am I going to get one
3:12
another Stitch right there on that one
3:13
or am I going to get one that doesn't
3:15
have any covering whatsoever this is a
3:17
non-covered one that's a non-covered one
3:20
two non-covered ones in a row and then
3:22
stitch in front of them
3:25
248 248 going in oh yeah
3:30
I don't always get my own pod but on
3:32
this section I'm getting my own pod when
3:35
I was boarding there was a cast member
3:36
on the other side of the platform and he
3:38
goes now there's three Adams over there
3:41
well I think he did a two finger thing
3:42
now there's three atoms over there the
3:43
other two cast members on the side that
3:45
were boarding me were both named Adam
3:47
and my name is Adam so he was saying
3:48
there was three it was a Trilogy of
3:52
Adams back there Caribbean Beach little
3:55
stop off here got myself a piping hot
3:58
caffeinated beverage of the Joffrey's
4:01
persuasion there was no one in line also
4:04
smallest napkins on property look at
4:06
these things I mean this is like look at
4:09
that that's like a smallest napkin on
4:12
property
4:13
alert all right heading back over
4:16
walking back up here got to connect over
4:20
decot caffeinated version I do like
4:24
looking at these kind of antique version
4:27
clocks I always show the one in downtown
4:28
celebration those show the ones on Main
4:31
Street sometimes at Magic Kingdom I'm
4:33
showing this one to me getting my own po
4:35
pod on this one slim to none a lot more
4:37
people in this station's line also if
4:39
joffre had larger coffees I would get
4:41
Joffrey all the time Starbucks I get
4:44
more than often because their cups are
4:45
about twice as big this is the largest
4:47
you could get from joffre kind of wish
4:49
they had bigger
4:50
sizes I enjoy the taste of
4:53
joffre but I also like to feel like I'm
4:55
actually drinking a full coffee that's
4:57
why I like the large ones right I have
4:59
entered in to World Gateway I am now
5:02
over at Epcot I did not have my own pod
5:04
did not have my own pod definitely a
5:06
much nicer day out here than it was a
5:08
couple days ago when I came to the
5:10
opening
5:11
day FES all of the
5:26
holidays at this particular moment of
5:29
the day definitely a lot more Elbow Room
5:31
through here it's like pretty mellow at
5:33
this particular time usually back here
5:35
in World Showcase gets really really
5:37
busy at night and during the day it's
5:39
not too bad so right now plenty of Elbow
5:42
Room most people you know most people
5:44
show up to World Showcase a little later
5:45
in the day after dark that's usy how laa
5:48
is out but I did not want to go
5:50
empty-handed so I look I look and I
5:54
search oh but all I can find are old Rel
6:00
of but I think it's a little B and I
6:05
think it's better than enough I am so
6:08
exed I will go to the Bethlehem I will
6:11
see the baby king so I run outside to
6:13
follow the star but oh it is
6:18
gone the beautiful star she is no longer
6:20
there trains were not running the other
6:22
day due to the inclement weather but the
6:23
trains are now back out over here at the
6:25
little miniature train station you see
6:27
the train going by the conductor right
6:29
there there's The Wheelhouse I guess you
6:31
could call it and then there is another
6:33
conductor waving from the station I
6:35
never noticed that little white guy
6:37
before some pretty good merchandise over
6:38
here in the Norway Pavilion look at this
6:40
right here it's like a Viking head on
6:41
there World Showcase Viking head also
6:43
some Viking Mickey ears as well this is
6:47
kind of like old school this is almost
6:48
like melstrom era days right here
6:51
doesn't say melstrom but it kind of has
6:53
that melstrom
6:55
Vibe troll has a sweater on I guess I
6:58
classify that as a Christmas sweater but
7:00
I mean it's Christmas time and he's
7:01
wearing a sweater so
7:04
maybe TR here I've never seen him
7:07
wearing a Viking hat before he's got a
7:09
Viking helmet on now he means business
7:11
before he was just kind of casual troll
7:13
now he's like meaning business troll
7:17
with the uh with the Viking hat on give
7:19
him a little handshake there well a
7:20
little finger little finger Shake into
7:22
the Mexico Pavilion where it looks like
7:24
the Mexico Pavilion has some lights up
7:25
they have a few different lights up
7:27
around on the little uh little
7:29
merchandise stands around there are also
7:31
celebrating the holidays in here as well
7:34
it's not really nighttime it's daytime
7:36
but they make it look like night time
7:37
gantu and skull right there so that's
7:39
like a normal siiz skull this is like a
7:41
really large skull that would be he had
7:43
that on a shelf it would definitely be a
7:45
conversation starter for sure usually
7:47
count on this to be pretty much a walk-
7:50
on right up there you got Jose panito
7:52
and Donald I recently watched three
7:54
caberos so I know all their names now
7:56
all right heading on to the boat r
7:59
that's the
8:07
pyramid throw
8:20
it think one of my favorite things on
8:23
the attraction is the Donald
8:25
pinata I don't know just they kind of
8:27
obviously this originally wasn't three
8:29
cab it was just a Mexico ride they added
8:31
the Donald Pata pinata into the section
8:33
it reminds me of small world but I like
8:35
that and then the animatronics they
8:36
added at the end which are kind of cool
8:39
too it's a fun ride and always a always
8:42
shortway time pigment I made it back and
8:45
I have decided to get the same one that
8:47
he is wearing I didn't get it the other
8:49
day and I kind of regretted it and I
8:50
figured you know what I'll get back over
8:51
here and get it before they are gone so
8:53
it's the same exact one that he is
8:55
wearing here on display and also on the
8:58
attraction himself in two different also
9:00
when he's holding the corded phone
9:02
figman is the only person on the
9:04
attraction that still wear still is
9:06
holding a phone that has a corded phone
9:08
he's old school popping into the
9:11
darkness for
9:19
Nemo actually quite a few people in this
9:19
queue usually this is a complete walk-
9:22
on but rarely will see anyone in this
9:25
little section so this might be a little
9:27
longer wait than I'm expecting
9:34
line for Nemo was really really really
9:34
long so I decided against it I'm going
9:35
to go up here to the DVC lounge and
9:39
check out what's going on up here it
9:41

9:43

11:42

11:43
head over to
11:45
Studios my last friendship boat ride was
11:47
pretty dang good like a few weeks ago a
11:49

11:57
to get right over inside the boardwalk
11:59

12:37
there pulling into the boat dock pulling
12:40
into the
12:43
station love the French
12:54
boats that one over there is going to
12:54
Epcot this one's going to beach club one
12:57
little stop and then after
13:00
that Hollywood
13:03
Studios I like watching the boats spin
13:06
around right here both them do the same
13:09
thing it's almost like choreograph
13:11
swimmers above water swimmers in a boat
13:14
fashion
13:51
that is a very unusual cloud formation
13:51
it's like a door to the sky up
13:54
there very unusual look like a glare in
13:57
the clouds but it really isn't a glare
14:00
it's
14:02
clouds I forgot they stop over at Swan
14:05
and Dolphin also here's a fishing
14:14
Excursion he's asking for some
14:14
honk they're asking for some honk and
14:16
they're not going to give it to him no
14:18
honk for the pontoon
14:53
Station arriving in studios sometimes
14:53
it's nice to sit in the back and kind of
14:54
get the especially since it's such a
14:56
nice day with the breeze and the cool
14:57
weather with the kind of wind blowing
15:00
back of the back of the boat I got to
15:02
make my way over to front of Studios as
15:05
I was walking in while shortly after I
15:07
walked out after the food ended up being
15:10
able to see the Christmas tree lighting
15:13
I always love Hollywood Studios at night
15:15
after the Christmas tree lit up got to
15:17
see all the neon and everything I made
15:20
my way over to Slinky Dog I'm going to
15:22
go on Slinky Dog Dash a mega
15:26
coaster Slinky Dog time the wasn't long
15:29
you came for Thrills you're barking up
15:32
the right tree is what Slinky Dog just
15:34
said all right it was only about a half
15:37
hour wait just about a half hour which
15:39
is rare for Slinky Dog so got to utilize
15:41
that let's go
15:43
time bring into
15:46
action here we go and it night
16:22
God
16:24
woo risk
16:59
cool walk over in back l express and I
16:59
got some teriyaki Rice Bowl
17:02
here never had the Teriyaki Rice Bowl
17:05
here from Backlot Express figured I'd
17:07
try the Teriyaki Rice Bowl didn't even
17:09
know they had it but I looked on the
17:10
mobile order app and they did all right
17:12
continue walking around a little bit
17:13
looking at some of the neon over on
17:15
Sunset was going to go over and get in
17:17
line for Fantasmic but missed the first
17:19
Fantasmic show which is 7:30 wait till
17:21
the 9:00 Fantasmic so decided to head
17:23
over and kind of test my luck with the
17:25
weight times hopefully a short weight
17:26
time for Mickey and Minnie Runway
17:29
Railway which said it was going to be
17:31
like a 40 minute wait but I'm going to
17:33
guess it's probably going to be more
17:34
like a 25 minute weight see if uh see if
17:38
25 minutes outs more like it because
17:40
really doesn't stretch too far out kind
17:42
of just a few minutes before kind of
17:44
peeking around the side to see the
17:46
Chinese Theater from from inside so I
17:48
think it's going to be shorter than 40
17:49
honestly it took only maybe 10 minutes
17:51
to even get to the pre-show screen part
17:53
where the screen explodes and smoke
17:56
comes out and you walk right through the
17:58
middle of the screen only 10 minutes to
17:59
this point so definitely a lot inflated
18:03
weight time what they were predicting
18:05
cuz now I'm pretty much walking through
18:07
and going to the trains 10
18:16
minutes all right grand total of 20
18:16
minutes from where I was outside 20
18:19
minutes from point A to point B and I'm
18:20
about ready to board in 20 minutes
18:23
that's less than I was predicting I was
18:25
predicting maybe 25 but nope 20 minutes
18:27
tops not bad not a bad way time for
18:30
Mickey Min run away things over on the
18:32
side of this wall that are like 3D style
18:34
except the wrench is just a painting but
18:37
the lantern is like oh it just turned on
18:39
and then the light over there says red
18:41
to Green like always like to notice some
18:43
of the things through here also what is
18:45
this right up here this like rope that's
18:46
kind of like dangling I don't even know
18:48
what that's supposed to be oh it's
18:50
supposed to be like a hatch you pull
18:51
that hatch
18:53
down one thing is interesting about
18:55
runaway Railway is the fact that it's
18:57
named after Mickey and Mini Mickey and
18:59
Minnie are on it but they're not the
19:00
ones driving the train goofy is the one
19:03
driving the train so it's interesting
19:04
that they don't call it Goofy's runaway
19:06
Railway and I believe this is also the
19:08
first time that Mickey has ever had his
19:11
own attraction even though really it's
19:12
Goofy's
19:13
attraction and then min's on it and and
19:16
and chuby which I think is like my new
19:18
favorite character is chuby I got a
19:21
chuby shirt a chwy little magnet the
19:24
other day I was going to see if they had
19:26
any other chwy merchandise and they
19:28
didn't because the little stand
19:31
outside the Comm mini Runway Railway was
19:33
closed and I went over to Fantasmic and
19:36
Fantasmic is one of those things the
19:37
more I see it the more I like it like
19:39
the more I get familiar with it and know
19:40
the pattern of it and the songs and
19:42
everything that's happening I enjoy it
19:45
this time was definitely a really good
19:46
performance about a year ago they added
19:48
two maybe three new scenes they changed
19:51
it up a little bit but it's still the
19:53
classic Fantasmic I actually prefer this
19:55
Fantasmic more than the Disneyland one
19:57
just cuz they have a little bit more
19:58
room and they have the stadium
19:59
Amphitheater style but definitely pretty
20:02
awesome definitely love fantasma good
20:04
way to round out the
20:07
night temperatures dropped just a little
20:10
bit as well and also the Park closed at
20:13
9 Fantasmic started at 9:00 so it's like
20:17
a little almost 10 9:55 right now what
20:19
time I'm heading out of here parked all
20:22
the way out here into the parking lot
20:26
shift this way
20:29
yeah good day at Studios went to Epcot
20:33
and hopped over to
20:35
Studios that's got to do it for today
20:37

20:39
