which is just just past that tree line
1:11
the top of the theater pokemon
1:12
there's a bird flying around a couple
1:14
birds flying around
1:17
and a train oh there's a train
1:20
christmas train coming by take a look at
1:23
that
1:24
just choo choo chewing along
1:31
i i'm not familiar enough with this area
1:31
to know the name of that road
1:33
but it's is it gonna go through the
1:35
barricade or it's stopping
1:37
at the barricade there it's going
1:39
through the barricade there
1:41
they have removed a stanchion and now
1:44
the train is
1:46
doing a grand circle tour if you will
1:50
of the town that is awesome yes
1:54
the reason i'm beginning this episode
1:56
now is to showcase
1:58
the lights and the illuminations that
2:00
will be taking place
2:01
from now until later in the eve it looks
2:05
a little bit it looks a little bit
2:06
better under nightfall
2:10
sun is setting but it's very cloudy it's
2:12
supposed to rain i should
2:13
maybe grab an umbrella but i'm gonna
2:15
chance it i'm gonna
2:16
live dangerously from this section up
2:19
down market street
2:21
after 2 pm make sure you move your car
2:24
because they have
2:25
they have posted that so clears a
2:27
walkway for anyone
2:28
most people are just going along the
2:29
sidewalk because that's what just force
2:31
of habit but i'm walking in the middle
2:32
of the road that's that's allowed
2:33
there is a secondary caboose and can
2:36
fill up other passengers just sitting
2:37
over there there's another signage and
2:39
looking down
2:40
this kind of reminds me of main street
2:42
usa marcus street is the proper name
2:44
that's where the tree is up and it is
2:47
it's actually it's not quite illuminated
2:48
yet and if it is you just can't really
2:50
see it quite yet because
2:52
it's not what there's a dog barking
2:54
there's a dog
2:55
growling behind me hello there hi
2:58
oh hi merry christmas to you merry
3:02
it appears as if this one is not running
3:05
at the moment
3:06
i'm noticing this sign that says the
3:09
conductor cannot hear
3:10
over the sound of the engine so if you
3:13
try to say
3:14
speed up conductor the conductor will
3:16
not hear you
3:18
there goes on a monorail
3:22
but good enough and not just a train
3:25
there is a
3:26
horse-drawn carriage center similar to
3:29
cinderella
3:30
cinderella to similar i've got tongue
3:32
tied there
3:34
but that reminds me of now i have never
3:36
been over to
3:37
jeter bend but i hear that it is quite
3:40
the
3:40
congregation of decor a lot of lights
3:43
over there yeah it's about
3:45
looking at look it up it's about a mile
3:46
and a quarter
3:48
can be a little bit of a hike but i'm up
3:50
for it but not not before
3:52
kind of traversing around this little
3:54
section as well
3:55
and jeter bend is still technically in
3:58
celebrate celebration is very spread out
4:00
and by the time i walk over there it
4:02
should be dark
4:03
and walk back and this should be a real
4:06
beehive of activity if my
4:08
calculations are correct i could be
4:11
wrong
4:12
maybe people are staying in this evening
4:14
so wait and see
4:18

being projected along the side of the
8:22
building
8:23
here are two more mr and mrs gingerbread
8:33
looking very cute and you have yourself
8:33
an ugly festive sweater on
8:36
you have visions of candy canes
8:39
appears as if the decorations stretch
8:41
down nearly every road once you start
8:43
getting to this area
8:45
yeah everywhere every porch close to
8:47
every porch
8:48
i know they said there's a cold front
8:50
rolling in after the rain hasn't started
8:52
raining yet and
8:54
i'm kind of thinking maybe i shouldn't
8:55
have wore this this
8:57
over jacket it's not quite cold yet it
9:00
looks like it's
9:00
a little like a little frost has already
9:02
started to nip into your bones sir
9:06
shaking a lot shivering over there
9:11
when people ask what i do for a living
9:13
say hey point out the obvious
9:15
and speak and have conversations with
9:17
inanimate objects
9:18
not something when i was younger i think
9:19
i thought i would be doing for a career
9:21
but
9:22
here i am looking forward to the day i
9:24
purchase a bike
9:25
or transport the one i have it's over in
9:28
my spot in orange county so that i can
9:31
properly take all these trails i'm
9:34
getting a
9:36
camp crystal lake vibe out of this body
9:38
of water
9:40
can't be the only one which brings me to
9:43
my destination
9:44
jeter bin drive at the corner of
9:46
celebration ave
9:48
they were cones as you can see parking
9:50
is not
9:51
very prominent it's only allowed on one
9:53
side and it is very filled up but there
9:55
is
9:57
more than enough lights here in fact
9:59
there are even more cones
10:00
placed so that you will not break the
10:03
rules and park in front of the houses
10:05
look at this teddy bear oh there's a
10:07
couple more yodas over there
10:09

oh there's mrs claus up in the window
10:33

10:36
and there's a tree through the front a
10:39
gingerbread house here

eating an ice cream cone and you have a
11:54

11:56
going on yep it happens
12:00
i knew i'd bump into him there's snoopy
12:03
right there
12:03
and some more reindeer and a carriage
12:06
made out of a pumpkin
12:07
and nothing says florida like a pink
12:09
flamingo
12:11
well technically a few pink flamingos
12:13
with proper headwear
12:16
on oh yeah look it's even more up here
12:18
got the icicle lights that are kind of
12:19
permeating down from the branches
12:21
up there in the tree very beautiful
12:25
steady flow of cars through here just a
12:28
constant stream
12:30
some really nice houses in this town
12:39
there's rudolph with his nose so bright
12:39
up top here are some or some floating
12:42
orbs
12:42
of some sort yeah look at those i've
12:45
never seen those
12:46
before they're like they almost look
12:48
like little suction cups
12:49
but a multitude of them in a circular
12:52
pattern
12:52
got a delivery guy there and that and
12:54
that van
12:56
yeah shout out to the the workers
12:59
delivering all the mail
13:01
just at the last moment and this is an
13:03
enclosed
13:04
little enclosed not
13:21
there available there is something to
13:22
look at so
13:22
it's just everywhere all through here
13:26
this dumps out onto a cul-de-sac but
13:28
still plenty of lights down this way too
13:43
whoa looks like olaf is starting to run
13:43
off where are you going olaf
13:44
you going to the end of the backyard
13:46
over there olaf
13:48
how very retro are these little items
13:51
right down here these are like probably
13:52
from
13:53
the 70s or 80s perhaps i really like
13:56
those
13:57
oh here on the ground we have oh there's
14:00
a couple hearts
14:01
two hearts beating as one we have
14:03
another pattern here looks like you're
14:04
in outer space
14:06
a little circuit oh the whole ground is
14:08
lighting up
14:10
that's neat i'm gonna walk over it
14:18
the shadow just i believe with that
14:18
technically
14:19
going out of jeter bend maybe possibly
14:23
not looking at a map but just my
14:25
assumption one thing i am noticing not
14:27
just
14:28
cars but you see a lot of these golf
14:30
cart type
14:31
items around this vicinity
14:36
a lot of people have those golf cart
14:37
type items i believe
14:39
i got out of there just in time because
14:43
there is a plethora there is almost like
14:47
a parade of cars
14:48
heading into jeter bend
14:51
look at this yeah
14:55
timed it perfectly this car's parking
14:58
the other ones are continuing on even
15:00
walking back i
15:01
am really impressed with just how many
15:04
of these homes have
15:06
have gone all out i couldn't really
15:09
i couldn't really be much happier with
15:11
this area
15:12
the last few days spending it here a
15:14
real sense of not only holiday cheer
15:17
but community definitely getting that
15:19
vibe
15:20
as i walk through all these houses
15:26
another manger scene up here this is
15:30
nice
15:32
it's mary and joseph the baby
15:48
and inside they are yeah they're doing a
15:48
service in there
15:50
oh it says it says they're full
16:15
back over in the area with the train now
16:15
this one appears to be a little shorter
16:17
train than the the other one that's only
16:19
three links on that one and back
16:22
over to this section that's where the
16:24
presence they are on
16:25
on there in the front of the church
16:27
looking very beautiful now that it's got
16:29
you know
16:29

16:32
