today's adventure begins as the sun is
0:03
starting to rise over there on the
0:05
horizon at the celebration theater
0:07
spiers
0:09
peeking up over the tree line like
0:11
Reinhardt here as a recording of this it
0:14
is two minutes until 7 A.M on Friday
0:16
December 23rd two minutes
0:20
well two minutes till seven but also two
0:23
days
0:24
until Christmas
0:26
okay at this hour very peaceful here on
0:29
Market Street you can see remnants of
0:31
the snope that fell last night it was
0:33
quite a beehive of activity as it is
0:35
pretty much each and every night
0:36
throughout the holiday Christmas season
0:38
here in downtown celebration
0:41
I'm heading over to Magic Kingdom
0:43
because I believe
0:46
the choice well in the Christmas miracle
0:50
might happen today welcome everyone
0:52
Adam's a woo here I don't know if I
0:54
should have the camera pointed in my
0:56
face this early without caffeine flowing
0:57
through my bones yet it's still a little
0:59
bit of sleep in my eye but I'm doing it
1:02
heading to TTC and Magic Kingdom
1:05
the Walt Disney World train has not run
1:07
in just about don't quote me on this
1:09
four years
1:11
but I believe today all that changes
1:16
join me cross my fingers
1:18
shall you now nothing has been put out
1:21
into the universe stating that today
1:23
will be an opening reopening day of the
1:25
train
1:26
after many years because of Tron
1:29
construction they had to redo the track
1:30
of the train but yesterday they were
1:32
doing cast previews now the strong rumor
1:35
was January 1st it will be running but
1:37
I'm heading down for rope drop
1:39
just to see what happens also I cannot
1:41
believe that the year is almost over and
1:43
Christmas
1:44
as of right now is in just two days
1:47
this year
1:49
has flow actually the last few years
1:51
have gone by really fast and even though
1:53
Magic Kingdom doesn't open until 9 00
1:56
a.m rope drop as they call it
2:05
7 10 right now
2:06
heading over a little early because
2:07
anyone that's been to Magic Kingdom
2:14
knows it takes a little while to get
2:14
from Transportation Ticket Center into
2:16
the park so early bird gets the worm I
2:20
want to be there first and foremost
2:22
if by chance
2:24
the Train's running right at opening I
2:27
want to be there I have my windshield
2:27
wipers on too because it's kind of kind
2:29
of dewy out here also the Christmas
2:32
parade which here at Walt Disney World
2:34
has only been running at the Mickey's
2:36
Christmas Party in the evening hours
2:39
supposedly was a little bit of a bump
2:42
supposedly
2:43
today which is the 23rd will make you be
2:46
making an appearance for the first time
2:48
this year during the day during a
2:50
non-hart ticketed after hours event like
2:53
to Christmas party
2:54
during regular admission down Main
2:57
Street USA so I might get to train and I
3:00
might get the Christmas parade could be
3:02
a good day
3:04
it's pretty nice out here at this moment
3:07
not a lot of cars here yet Sun peeking
3:10
up oh look at this the monorail is going
3:12
to go right through the Sun Well
3:14
underneath the Sun Trust me the monorail
3:16
is going by I parked
3:18
over here which is pretty close to
3:20
Preferred didn't have to pay for
3:22
preferred
3:23
preferred is over here looks like
3:24
there's only one person in the preferred
3:26
spot I parked over there probably one of
3:28
the first
3:29
30 40 cars here trams are not even
3:32
running yet early morning
3:35
vibes
3:47
and try to play of course
3:47
heavy metal Mickey
3:49
right there got the beautiful monorail
3:52
pulling in of course I'm going to take
3:53
the boat across seven seas but yeah love
3:55
the monorail however it does not look
3:57
like Joffrey's is quite open yet they
3:59
have just taken down the Rope over there
4:01
at the ferry boat I might be the first
4:03
one well one of the well yeah might be
4:05
the first one on the ferry boat usually
4:07
at certain times a day I would prefer
4:09
taking the boat over versus the monorail
4:11
but because it's kind of early I think
4:13
the monorail would have been faster it
4:14
took a while for the boat to get
4:15
launched off probably about 15 minute
4:17
wait for everyone else to get on but I'm
4:19
on my way over
4:21
almost a minute we're going across seven
4:22
seas soon to be Magic Kingdom as pulling
4:26
up the dock here on the other side of
4:27
seventh season now 750 so it's basically
4:30
40 minutes from Mickey power pole to
4:32
here even on even when there's not a lot
4:34
of crowds I have walked in the park
4:35
exactly at eight one hour prior to rope
4:37
drop and the reason took me 40 minutes
4:39
to get from Mickey power pole in here is
4:41
because TTC yeah you really have to want
4:43
to go to Magic Kingdom because it takes
4:44
a while and I really want to be here so
4:46
it works out since Joffrey's at TTC was
4:49
not open when I walked by it I'm gonna
4:50
have to be team Starbucks today over
4:53
here at the Main Street Bakery I get
4:55
like a Christmas latte of something
4:57
maybe a peppermint or a gingerbread
4:59
latte I haven't decided yet nothing
5:01
about the Train on the app yeah but take
5:03
a look Mickey's Once upon a time once
5:05
upon a Christmas Time Parade is it noon
5:07
and three it's official the first day of
5:09
the parade during regular hours
5:11
definitely be a Christmas miracle if
5:12
this train runs today because on the app
5:15
it says all three of the stations are
5:17
temporarily unavailable went with the
5:19
peppermint latte here Christmas latte
5:22
got my name on it I'm also wearing a
5:24
runaway Railway shirt in hopes that that
5:27
will help the cause of the Railway here
5:30
the railroad here running also this is
5:33
Ishmael Pike which I never realized is
5:35
probably why in Seattle Starbucks Pikes
5:38
Place
5:39
might be named after him just makes
5:43
sense hopefully this shirt helps today
5:44
hopefully it helps and speaking of
5:46
t-shirts and mountains Big Thunder
5:48
Mountain has a new t-shirt over here
5:49
inside the theater on Main Street
5:51
looking at the Christmas tree now right
5:53
now they still have the ropes up over
5:54
here but I'm just going to kind of
5:56
peruse around in here under the bottom
5:58
portion and they show all the different
5:59
trains that are of course the Walter E
6:01
Disney named after Walt the Lily Bell
6:03
named after his wife Lillian also has a
6:06
train named after her and of course Roy
6:09
O Disney Walt's brother who we can thank
6:10
for the finishing of wall stream here at
6:13
Magic Kingdom and the fourth and final
6:14
train here at wdw is the Roger E broge
6:17
who spent his life as a railroad man
6:19
began with Walt Disney planning
6:21
destruction of the Caraway Pacific
6:22
Railway so a total of four trains and
6:24
three stations here at Disney World I'm
6:26
used to Disneyland because I've been in
6:28
Disneyland you know half a million times
6:30
well not half a million but probably
6:31
three or four hundred times but it's
6:33
been four years since I've been on this
6:34
one so I had to refresh two to two days
6:35
so what the heck two days till Christmas
6:36
not sure if it means anything but a
6:38
moment ago I saw a couple cast members
6:39
carrying some scissors two stanchions
6:42
and a ribbon over there could be a
6:44
ribbon cutting wall definitely love
6:46
trains you know the Carrollwood Barn his
6:48
barn the miniature railroad all that
6:50
gives a little detail of this he was a
6:52
dreamer as a boy who traveled to rails
6:53
of the Missouri Pacific Railroad with
6:54
his brother Roy and a 1 8 scale in his
6:57
backyard on Carrollwood Carrollwood
6:59
Drive which is known as the carewell
7:01
Pacific Railroad which was the
7:02
inspiration for the Disneyland Railroad
7:04
and of course the Walt Disney World
7:06
Railroad and I'm noticing the train is
7:09
at the station and people are walking up
7:11
the stairs of course they they are cast
7:13
members so regular regular guests are
7:16
not allowed up there yet but the trade
7:17
did not pull up as far as normal you can
7:19
see the back end of the train here with
7:21
the little Sunburst which means me to
7:22
leave maybe the ribbon cutting is
7:24
specifically for the cast members and
7:25
Executives and maybe they're going to
7:27
let us on the train again crossing my
7:29
fingers yeah I just keep seeing a lot of
7:31
cast members go up those stairs they
7:33
remove the Rope they go over the road
7:34
they walk up the stairs so yeah that's a
7:36
good sign but yeah I guess as of now if
7:39
they are I don't know if they're doing
7:40
the ribbon cutting I saw a ribbon and
7:41
scissors but they are doing it yes
7:43
they're not allowed up there quite yet
7:45
it's about 20 minutes till 9. whatever
7:47
is happening however is happening right
7:49
up there it says to the train see it's
7:51
uh 20 minutes tonight according to that
7:52
clock about eight minutes to nine now so
7:55
eight minutes till technical rope drop
7:56
you can see usually when the train pulls
7:58
up to the station the train is over here
8:01
like the front end you know it's at the
8:03
very very front here but the front end
8:05
is right here so they are definitely
8:06
doing the ribbon cutting right there and
8:08
I'm hoping in the next few minutes this
8:10
pulls up to there and then they drop the
8:13
ropes to go up there I got about seven
8:16
minutes to figure out if that's gonna be
8:18
doing the Rope drop announcement right
8:19
now all the clues are lining up so
8:21
you're telling me there's a chance well
8:23
hinting there's a chance I'm also
8:26
noticing this is the number one the
8:27
Walter Elias Disney one of the four
8:30
trains so if you're going to do a ribbon
8:31
cutting you want to do it with Waltz up
8:34
there right if you want to have the
8:35
first guest on a train you want it to be
8:37
the number one DeWalt just my opinion
8:39
just stopped off in real quick to look
8:40
at the Main Street Fire Department truck
8:42
in here that's underneath the fire
8:44
station and also it's just now nine
8:46
o'clock so rope drop is now happening
8:48
they're bringing the horse strong
8:49
Carriage out there's some of the cast
8:50
members are going up to the train
8:52
station which is also a good sign and I
8:54
also wanted to walk over and show Minnie
8:56
and Roy you know it's like the
8:58
comparable to the partner statue of Walt
9:00
and Mickey he got Minnie and Roy here oh
9:03
take a look the first Main Street
9:05
vehicle of the day the horse strong
9:06
Carriage has the Dapper dance on it nice
9:08
oh yeah emitting some steam now I also
9:11
saw a few railroad or some of the few
9:13
railroad maintenance
9:14
getting some photos up there and now
9:16
they have gone back down Main Street and
9:19
backstage so I believe also as a cast
9:21
member over here has his arm up which I
9:24
believe is the train is going to be
9:25
pulled forward towards that cat yep the
9:27
Train's moving forward which if my
9:30
calculations and my guesstimation is
9:32
correct once this pulls over there if
9:34
they're not doing cast member previews
9:36
today which I doubt they'll do them two
9:37
days in a row I might be able to board
9:40
this thing so I'm going to walk parallel
9:42
to this
9:44
pulling into the station for the first
9:46
time well I mean it's it's been testing
9:48
but this this like I said I don't know
9:49
if 100 look people are waving up there
9:52
some of the cast members are on there
9:53
waving
9:54
and pulling up past the top of the
9:56
newsstand which interestingly the new
9:58
stand is closed is it going to stop
10:01
let's see if it stops here wait no it's
10:03
not stopping it's going around I was
10:05
completely incorrect
10:07
oh dang all right I stand corrected
10:12
crap all right it's now 9 45 Walter
10:15
Elias Disney has made a grand circle
10:17
tour around Mill Park which means
10:19
there's only one train on the track
10:20
which I don't know maybe you're probably
10:22
not going to let guests on with only one
10:24
train because the line would get too
10:25
long so I'll wait and see if they don't
10:27
let us board this one I'm gonna go run
10:28
over to the People Mover and get all the
10:29
people mover I'd pretty much give the
10:32
Walt e Disney train one more round
10:34
around kind of noticing yeah there's
10:36
still like some people kind of inquiring
10:37
and wondering so can I go up top here
10:40
but hopefully you know I'm kind of
10:43
noticing that up top there are maybe
10:44
it's media preview I don't know what is
10:46
maybe it's Casper is people kind of like
10:48
at the front of the locomotive from here
10:51
you can definitely see there are people
10:52
definitely at the front of the
10:53
locomotive so I'm kind of hoping but if
10:55
not I'll just go over the People Mover
10:57
the way I figure it if there's only one
10:59
if there's only one train on there
11:01
they're probably not going to let guests
11:02
on it because the line would get so
11:03
incredibly long all right it's now
11:05
happening
11:06
Dapper dance or singing and I'm going up
11:09
up the tracks yes unbelievable I cannot
11:12
believe this is happening look I'm
11:13
inside I'm now about to board the Walt
11:16
Disney World railroad that was it just
11:18
happened out of nowhere on Friday the
11:20
23rd of December at 9 58 I have boarded
11:24
the queue here at the Main Street
11:25
Station Main Street oh that's a view I
11:26
haven't seen in a while looking across
11:28
it to monorail with the train right here
11:30
as well oh I guess it's happening all
11:32
right looks like we're gonna be on the
11:33
next one this group is only like six or
11:35
seven of us up here on the platform so
11:37
the cast members are going off we're
11:38
going to be on the next train it's like
11:39
to be about 20 minute wait time so it
11:41
might be a different train this is so
11:43
dang awesome it'll be on the next train
11:45
look at this I'm looking out over seven
11:47
scenes again finally after like four
11:49
years yeah this is a site I have not
11:51
seen in like a long long freaking time
11:55
so basically what they said they're
11:57
gonna do is we can go up here and
11:59
they're going to let this there's gonna
12:00
be two trains on the track they're gonna
12:01
let the next train go by Walt's gonna
12:03
loop around again it's gonna take about
12:05
20 30 minutes and they're going to let
12:06
all the first guests get on Walt e
12:09
Disney which is really really awesome
12:10
but this is a view I haven't been able
12:12
to get up here in forever and it died I
12:16
believe it's like short of 1500 days
12:18
someone was telling me that it's like
12:19
almost 1500 days like 20 or 30 days
12:22
short of 1500 if that's correct what
12:24
they were man that's a lot of days since
12:26
I haven't been up at the train station
12:28
and the gates are open that Kate's down
12:30
here open the Rope over here is open the
12:32
Rope over here is open and this might
12:34
only be like a magic moment I don't know
12:35
if it's going to stay open all day or
12:37
what they're going to do but yeah I am
12:39
up on the train station about to do the
12:40
first ride on the Walt Disney World
12:42
train after almost four years I believe
12:44
that's the Lily though
12:46
Lily Bell was pulling around but we'll
12:49
not be getting on the Lily belt they're
12:50
going to let us get on wall when wall
12:52
pulls around and look at this and all
12:54
the ones here so Disneyland there are a
12:56
few that face this way outward all of
12:58
them here Walt Disney World Face Forward
13:00
they're all forward-facing trains
13:07
also kind of curious if all three of the
13:07
stations are going to be open or just
13:09
Main Street so these are cast members I
13:12
think these are cast members nonetheless
13:13
yeah these are cast members so the first
13:15
guests are now getting on and also media
13:17
this is also like a media list coming
13:20
through but I'm not media but I'm
13:21
getting on the 10 20 train so it took it
13:24
took it took one full loop about to get
13:26
on the on the wall this is a historical
13:29
moment indeed first train loading up
13:32
with regular guests for the first time
13:34
since December of 2018. this thing is
13:37
allowing guests
13:40
got all the cast members over here
13:42
waving imagineers cast members
13:45
everyone's kind of waving here this
13:47
guy's waving everyone's waving this must
13:49
be like media
13:54
and wouldn't you know it without any
13:54
parallel to the monorail over there too
13:55
which is awesome rolling along the rail
13:58
I could kind of see it kind of making
13:59
the shift up here too now you kind of
14:02
see the turn I'm at the very very back
14:03
of the train which is nice
14:22
foreign
14:54
yeah this is where the parade goes out
14:54
into frontierland
14:56
we're gonna go through Splash Mountain
14:58
right now I'll be able to see down into
15:00
Splash Mountain which is going to be
15:02
closing for the last day on the 22nd of
15:04
January We've Got Big Thunder Mountain
15:06
ride over there with the theming
15:07
stretching around here probably going to
15:09
see a ride vehicle
15:11
past this section also you can see up
15:13
here the train going around the bend as
15:15
well maybe we'll get lucky and see a
15:17
ride vehicle right here oh I think the
15:20
guy the guy that's in the tub is he's
15:22
been removed oh he's right down there
15:24
the guy in the tub is down there this is
15:27
awesome oh there's a one going up the
15:29
Ascension right there and there's the
15:31
goat at the top the Ram oh my gosh this
15:35
is a thing of beauty right here the
15:38
cactuses the cacti and check out the
15:41
Liberty Bell over here
15:44
fun fact this this entire railroad
15:47
bridge shifts to let the ferry boat or
15:50
the Riverboat go backstage to do some
15:53
maintenance these reviews I have not
15:55
seen in four plus years
16:08
I'm gonna do a couple loops on this too
16:08
so I don't like to get the other side
16:10
because on the other side of the track
16:11
it in another Village that they have
16:13
recently built yeah
16:20
okay I'll sitting on this this section
16:20
of the train for now but another round
16:22
on the other side
16:38
let's see what makes house there's a lot
16:38
of new narration and some new music and
16:40
stuff obviously some of that they're not
16:41
really putting in this but
16:47
you should remain seated until I get the
16:47
all clear to this part thank you again
16:50
friends let's wait please I think most
16:52
people are probably staying on this a
16:54
couple people got off at the last
16:55
frontierland station where most people
16:56
are doing the Grand Circle I mean most
16:58
people are on here for the Grand Circle
17:00
Tour you're all cleared the spark breath
17:02
thank you next time oh people are
17:04
kidding a lot of people are getting off
17:05
here leaving the circus area now this is
17:07
the part I really want to see the part
17:08
where you go through the tunnel
17:10
underneath Tron and Space Mountain
17:12
itself what a place that I have been
17:16
standing over here next to Barnstormers
17:18
so many times right up there watching
17:21
the train go by so I'm gonna go through
17:23
the tunnel with Tron over here which is
17:26
not supposed to open until Springtime
17:27
which is running I could hear it riding
17:29
actually there's a train going around
17:30
the track right now and then through the
17:32
tunnel itself there is no diorama here
17:35
like Disneyland has the diorama in the
17:36
Grand Canyon Concourse and the dinosaurs
18:03
people moving going by
18:06
cannot believe this thing is back open
18:17
see our reflection right here inside
18:17
this gift shop which is closed because
18:20
they have to make the walkway over to
18:22
Tron available
19:02
monorail going by contemporary my Lake
19:02
Tower people move it right over here
19:42
didn't really know what to expect I kind
19:42
of stayed spoiler free I know yesterday
19:43
they were doing cast previews and I
19:45
think some stuff kind of leaked out
19:46
online and there are a lot of full
19:47
ride-throughs and things a lot of times
19:49
I'll cut things out I'll cut the music
19:50
out of cut narration out because you
19:51
really never know because some of that
19:53
stuff is frowned upon to have all that
19:54
on there with you know with music and
19:56
things like that so I just you know I
19:58
kind of chop a lot of stuff up and I
19:59
definitely wanted to talk about my
20:01
experience
20:03
oh someone just got engaged
20:09
or something no
20:09
yeah someone just got engaged over there
20:22
a couple of my favorite things is if you
20:22
sit in the very very back row when you
20:24
go through Splash Mountain
20:26
you'll be able to hear Zippity doo-dah
20:28
which only be able to hear till the 22nd
20:30
of January because on 22nd you show up
20:32
on January 23rd of 2023 Splash Mountain
20:35
will be completely erased from existence
20:37
but if you ride the train now you can
20:38
sit in the back when you're at the
20:40
frontierland station and you can hear
20:42
the Riverboat scene right below you
20:44
right beside you on a loop I'm just
20:46
sitting there smiling which was really
20:47
nice and I like the narration going
20:49
through Tron the the old time Western
20:51
guy that does the narration on the train
20:53
starts to get kind of broken up with
20:56
like the futuristic sounds of the
20:58
crackling and he tells me a secret it
21:00
really tells you a secret but you cannot
21:02
hear the secret because the the the
21:05
sound of the crackling of the distortion
21:09
it's kind of a funny joke you just have
21:10
to go on it to say it but really really
21:12
good narration I really highly approve
21:13
of the narration now I'm going to go
21:14
over to the frontierland station and
21:16
show that and then do another Circle
21:18
Tour and then get back off and go over
21:21
to the circus area so I'll go to all
21:24
three stations just feel the vibe so
21:27
happy it's back now this might not seem
21:29
like much to some but this is really a
21:32
historic moment not only because the
21:34
train you know is gray rabbit red fox
21:37
over there for a bear but it's a
21:40
historic moment to be able to walk up
21:42
onto the frontierland railroad station
21:45
as well because the only time in the
21:48
last four years I've been up here is
21:50
back when they were doing the six foot
21:51
six foot uh distancing and whatnot and
21:55
you could go up here you know into 2020
21:57
when the parks reopen you could go up
21:59
this which was kind of unusual they
22:01
routed Big Thunder Mountain Railroad Q
22:03
up this so I was able to go up here
22:06
but I have not been up here since then
22:08
and I have not been on the train at the
22:10
frontierland station in four years early
22:14
December of 2018. so I'm heading up here
22:18
I'm going to get back on the train
22:20
hopefully I can get on the other side I
22:22
can hear it
22:23
pulling into be nice if this is Lily or
22:27
Roy
22:28
it is oh it's literally
22:31
nice okay so I will have gone on Walt
22:42
all right now that I'm in the queue I
22:42
might not be able to get on this one so
22:44
we'll see what happens so a lot more
22:46
people in this queue than I was thinking
22:48
who is this here the younger brothers
22:51
also curly McKay is a wanted poster for
22:55
curly McKay right there this shows that
22:58
it's going to Tucson Santa Fe San
23:00
Francisco Red Bluff and Big Thunder on
23:03
time of course that's all theming
23:07
lost and found over here gosh it's been
23:09
so long I don't even recall oh look at
23:12
this baggage and oh this is awesome this
23:15
is so cool it's a bird cage up top got
23:18
all the theming and the luggage you can
23:20
Overlook the Splash Mountain gift shop
23:22
that's been closed forever and then over
23:24
here Big Thunder Mountain Railroad am I
23:26
getting on this thing I think I'm gonna
23:27
give him a little bit I was not able to
23:29
get the inside section of the seat I'm
23:31
sitting here right on the end like I was
23:32
before but at least I'm on the Willy
23:34
Bell
23:35
so this just shows what you can I walked
23:37
up if you were to exit here Big Thunder
23:39
wraps Tom Sawyer Island Splash Mountain
23:41
and of course Pirates and frontierland
23:43
and eventually and all that to be
23:46
accessed this way too oh it looks like
23:48
Big Thunder is down right now look
23:49
there's like a ride vehicle stuck up
23:51
there nothing's moving the possums
23:53
aren't moving nothing
23:58
here's a couple things I didn't show
23:58
before like the little village over here
24:01
yes this is the exit I think this is the
24:04
exit yeah
24:12
yeah you know how many times I stood
24:12
right there watching this train
24:21
what I'm going to do is wait for the
24:23
Lily Bell to pull out and then hopefully
24:24
the Roy is next and if Roy's next Oh
24:27
look The theme is like behind the Tron
24:31
Tron signage there let's see the steam
24:34
coming up through the trees they let off
24:36
some steam but if for some reason Lily
24:39
Bell pulls out and Roy is next I will
24:41
have done all three trains today but now
24:45
there's four trains oh that's right
24:47
there's one more which I believe is
24:49
under construction there's only three
24:50
active trains at three stations there's
24:52
a four train which I have not seen in
24:55
quite a while but I'll avoid the three
24:56
active price
25:16
out really well I had my doubts there at
25:16
the beginning of the day
25:18
after the first train went around with
25:21
only the cast member freebie wanted that
25:22
they weren't going to open up I had my
25:24
doubt but then magically the Magic
25:26
Moment
25:36
dang that's awesome
25:45
good to see people on this thing really
25:45
good to see people on this thing
25:53
all right the train is pulling in well
25:53
coming around
25:54
the bend it's a song about that Johnny
25:57
Cash sang a song about this is this the
25:59
Troy oh yeah Roy the third get a little
26:04
wave there the conductor I'm gonna go
26:06
get on that train though because then I
26:08
will have done Walt Lily and now Roy and
26:12
you can see all of them face forward
26:13
there's none that face inward like
26:16
Disneyland has a couple of them as well
26:18
so I'm gonna go get down here so I've
26:19
done all three
26:21
I will have done all three trains
26:23
I just got to get over there in time and
26:25
get on there Fantasyland station also a
26:28
nice little nod to wall too because
26:29
Carrollwood Park of course Carrollwood
26:31
was the road he lived on in L.A the
26:34
house where he had the miniature train
26:36
I've ridden Waltz train Lillian train
26:39
now about to get on Roy
26:42
Disney's train hopefully there's room
26:45
got some advertisements here for Goofy's
26:48
Barnstormer advertisement here for Casey
26:50
Jr storybook circus I would say
26:54
Storybook Land that's really storybook
26:56
circus
26:57
I think it'll take me to the back of the
26:59
train and I got the side I want it over
27:01
here on this side so I can kind of check
27:03
out good view of Tron you got the water
27:05
cut almost kind of like New Orleans
27:07
square and Disneyland has the water
27:09
tower they have heat there's here over
27:11
the storybook circus area
27:13
that's where they fill up the Steam for
27:15
the water for the Steam and all that I
27:17
kind of wonder when Tron opens if
27:18
they'll take this sign down or if
27:20
that'll stay up right there I don't know
27:21
now programming kind of means for me
27:23
construction update but I don't know
27:24
maybe maybe they'll take it down might
27:26
be able to see a ride vehicle testing up
27:28
top there too you might be able to see a
27:30
ride vehicle go by possibly maybe and
27:33
maybe not I thought maybe we could but
27:35
going through the tunnel here it's
27:37
interesting before I realize I thought
27:38
maybe they had like attraction posters
27:40
in here it was completely incorrect
27:42
there's no posters of any kind in this
27:44
little Tron tunnel here it's completely
27:46
Barren and just just one color all the
27:48
way through so I was incorrect on that
27:51
assumption when I was on the people who
27:52
were looking down in here was thinking
27:54
maybe they'd have kind of like a
27:55
traction posters to here but none really
27:57
is quite the vibe driving through here
27:59
in the train though however through the
28:00
Toronto Tron is directly above this
28:03
train when I get out of here you'll be
28:04
able to oh this is maybe why I thought
28:06
there were attraction tunnels you can
28:07
see these little holes here to be able
28:09
to get a good view of the ride itself
28:11
please
28:13
blast off there nope not gonna see it I
28:18
thought maybe we would
28:19
there it goes one just launched dang it
28:22
I missed it I think there was people on
28:24
it dude look like there were people on
28:26
it maybe cast members are on there doing
28:29
cast member freebies
28:41
steam train
28:41
I am going to ride this thing a lot not
28:44
necessarily today
28:45
but every time I Magic Kingdom I will go
28:47
on the train it's almost like kind of
28:48
like when you're on the People Mover you
28:50
got through the people moving you have
28:51
to do the train those are just spy kind
28:52
of vibes
29:06
interesting when I was staying at Bay
29:06
Lake Tower last week I could see where
29:09
the train is from where I'm at now
29:11
I could see it from up there from the
29:13
Theme Park View room see the towers
29:15
right next to contemporary I feel like
29:17
I'm gonna do the Grand Circle Tour on
29:19
this I think I'm going to take this all
29:20
the way back over to the circus area
29:23
as well so I'm going to do the full
29:25
Grand Tour it just makes sense I should
29:26
do The Grand Tour on both sides and to
29:29
visit all three stations and all three
29:30
active trains there are four trains but
29:33
I believe the fourth train is not
29:35
running so I'm just going to call it
29:36
three trains for now because the 4 train
29:38
has not been dropped back on the Trap
29:40
but I believe this is gonna run all day
29:41
because
29:42
yeah it totally looks like three trades
29:44
are running they're gonna have guests on
29:46
this all day the train is going up to
29:48
the queue line here of Splash you can
29:50
see yeah it's pretty lengthy for Splash
29:51
Mountain down there we've got their
29:52
ponchos on starting to rain I believe as
29:55
it gets closer to closing this is always
29:56
going to have a long way
29:58
January 22nd it's gonna closes last
30:00
night
30:06
I just love that they make the Spiel
30:06
like on the Spiel and the train they
30:07
talk about Splash Mountain so they're
30:09
gonna have to change the Spiel
30:11
mid-January into January okay this is on
30:13
the other side here this Big
30:15
thunderbound Railroad you got this
30:16
little platform here got some of the
30:19
rock formations it's on the other side
30:21
also I should point out ride's still
30:23
down
30:25
okay
30:40
the person in front of me just stated
30:40
that this train rides better than
30:41
Disneyland that's that's a tough one I
30:43
do like Disneyland this is a different
30:44
vibe definitely a different vibe all
30:46
right now approaching that area which I
30:48
believe is new this Village over here it
30:50
was built since the train has been look
30:52
at this little dog over here watching
30:54
the waterfall that's cute and it appears
30:57
as if the train has stopped oh there's
30:58
two alligators right there
31:00
momentarily two alligators and a Frog
31:04
that's obviously those gators are
31:06
theming but over here this is all real
31:09
swamp land something you really don't
31:11
see at Disneyland because all theming at
31:13
Disneyland but on this side of the like
31:15
berm and everything this is all real
31:17
swamp lead and rivers the only thing
31:20
that's theming on this side are those
31:22
two Gators down there that are fake
31:24
Gators our motion so please remain see
31:26
it sit back and relax
31:39
that's prawn also be kind of need if a
31:39
real alligator just crawled up next to
31:41
those two fake Gators and just real
31:43
whatever those gators looking at they'll
31:45
look like looking up in the trees maybe
31:47
they're looking at that frog
31:49
let's see this this little like Ravine
31:51
here that's not that's not man-made
31:53
that's real that's a real supportive
31:55
swamp right there
31:57
oh yeah
32:00
definitely a different vibe than
32:02
Disneyland
32:03
I love it I love Disneyland too all
32:06
right I did it I rode the train
32:08
on its opening day after four complete
32:12
years
32:13
and as the train goes by
32:15
past the Tron now programming area I'm
32:19
gonna make my way up to Main Street
32:21
and see if I can catch a little bit of
32:24
the Christmas parade that's a little bit
32:26
of the Christmas parade maybe not always
32:35
parade is happening because the
32:35
Christmas party has completely ended the
32:37
Christmas party is no more last night I
32:39
believe is the last night of the
32:40
Christmas parade and since they do the
32:42
Christmas parade for an extra ticketed
32:43
event after hours and that is over they
32:46
can finally put the Christmas parade
32:48
going down Main Street USA starts at
32:50
frontierland goes up through up to City
32:52
Hall the city hall back to frontierland
32:54
start to Splash ends at City Hall train
32:56
station at the front so now I could
32:58
catch a little bit of that without
32:59
paying the extra ticket I tried getting
33:01
tickets but I waited kind of dropped the
33:02
ball I waited too long to get tickets to
33:04
the Mickey not just or not so scary no
33:07
that's the Halloween party the Mickey's
33:09
Christmas party but I waited too long to
33:11
get that so now I can see the Christmas
33:12
parade myself here decided to come over
33:14
and take the resort and launch a boat
33:18
over to the Grand Floridian and the poly
33:21
I think of Polynesian I feel like this
33:23
is an appropriate day to get some of
33:25
Walt's chili the only place I've ever
33:27
seen that serves it by itself is at the
33:30
Holly not on fries and not on a hot dog
33:33
so I'm gonna head over there and get
33:35
that but I should also mention something
33:37
about the Christmas parade that just
33:39
really makes me super happy I think it's
33:41
just because they quite the cast of
33:43
characters that's in it I mean you have
33:44
like the the the basic typical Disney
33:47
characters and their holiday wear and
33:49
dancing and singing the Christmas songs
33:51
and all that and you know just in the
33:53
holiday flavor but I really like the Toy
33:56
Show toy soldiers are probably one of my
33:59
favorites and then the reindeer before
34:00
Santa so I'd say if I had to pick a
34:02
favorite it would be the dancing
34:05
synchronized reindeer and then of course
34:07
the toy soldiers you gotta have the
34:10
Detroit soldiers do that whole Parade
34:11
route they're just like Marching In Sync
34:14
I think that's probably my two favorite
34:16
things about the Christmas parade that
34:17
make me really happy are those two those
34:22
two parts of the parade
34:39
and it worked out just perfectly as I
34:41
was getting off the boat and walking
34:43
over this way that my mobile order
34:45
signified that I was ready Captain Cooks
34:48
I get two of Walt's chili enjoy a little
34:51
chili in honor of Walt and the train
34:52
being open
34:54
got to wonder how many people are now
34:56
arriving because they got the word the
34:59
train is now open good possibility that
35:04
people are heading in for that reason
35:05
even though probably not a lot
35:08
I'm gonna end the video here next two
35:12
heavy metal Mickey that's gonna do it
35:14
for today the train is back I'm excited
35:16
got on the first train I got on the
35:18
first Grand Circle Tour of the day that
35:21
was not cast member was not media
35:24
first one of the first few guests on the
35:26
train pretty excited about that you
35:28
excited about that
35:36
four years and a couple weeks
35:36
so it's a train has run here
35:39
at wdw
35:41
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
35:47
it's over
35:47
there are wild turkeys at TTC
36:06
a couple more over there
36:06
wild turkeys
36:08
that Transportation Ticket Center
36:17
say a turkey
36:17
say it
36:28
I was thinking maybe the turkeys would
36:28
say there goes the monorail but they
36:30
didn't
36:32
all right turkeys
36:35
see you later yeah the Train's open go
36:37
ride it
36:39
hopefully your annual pass isn't blocked
36:40
out but some are
36:42
all right see you turkeys
