How Did I Accomplish So Much Christmas Day at Disney’s Magic Kingdom Before Noon Without Fast Pass

0:04 today's adventure begins at 4:45 a.m.

0:04 December 25th 2019 and I am NOT the

0:09 first one to arrive pretty close however

0:15 as for the moment the parking lots

0:17 rather empty they lined up my rental car

0:20 kind of parallel over in that direction

0:23 and very soon they'll be filling up all

0:26 these spots and many many more

0:34 this will certainly be an entire

0:36 different scenario as the day progresses

0:41 they say the early bird gets the worm

0:54 let's do this welcome everyone

0:54 Adam the Wu here and merry Christmas to

0:58 you and yours my goal today is to attend

1:02 rope drop at Walt Disney World's Magic

1:04 Kingdom to see the crowd levels wait

1:08 times possibly get on a ride or an

1:10 attraction or to eat some food and be

1:13 out of here by early early afternoon or

1:16 after lunch at the latest inviting you

1:20 to join me this is an endeavor shall you

1:25 normally I take the ferry boat over but

1:27 at this hour it is not quite operational

1:30 it's not awake yet but even from this

1:33 faraway angle you can even see

1:36 Cinderella Castle off on the horizon

1:38 it's a beautiful thing this is kind of

1:40 the calm before the storm before the

1:43 immensity and the volume of people

1:45 arrive the stanchions are being laid out

1:48 and taken to their appropriate places

1:50 there sits the monorail but not for long

1:54 I'm about to board it

2:22 it begins it totally begins not a bad

2:22 way to spend a holiday mourn right looks

2:27 as if they started letting some of the

2:28 congregation of folks through the gates

2:30 we're getting the crossing of the rails

2:33 of the Manos this is the scene around

2:36 5:30 give or take a minute or two and

2:39 just like that the floodgates have

2:41 opened just a couple minutes to rope

2:44 drops 6:00 a.m. is what it's slated for

2:46 I do believe they're gonna have a

2:54 ceremony up here at the castle

5:50 that makes that weird noise I've been

5:52 stopping noise lately alarm about take

5:57 the elevator up to the Astor orbiter

6:01 only eight eighty thousand that's a lot

6:05 of people that uh in all reality I came

6:07 over the last time I was up here on this

6:08 plateau the Sun is now starting to rise

6:10 as well taking the lever going all the

6:13 way up gotta go to the pinnacle of this

6:16 thing I think ending we're going down

6:28 not turned the lights off yet on the

6:30 castle

8:44 attractions at this this is early in the

8:46 morning

8:57 we're relaxing on the beach is taking

8:57 place back

8:59 I should not be complaining about

9:01 getting wet on Splash Mountain because

9:03 this guy on pirates is being dipped

9:05 inside a wishing well they're relying on

9:08 getting the dog's attention for the keys

9:10 they're still in there after all these

9:12 years I don't think I was ready for that

9:14 photo op on that swashbuckling adventure

10:10 romantic entanglements it's better to

10:10 love the short girl and never to have

10:12 loved at all

11:49 we have one that has technical

11:49 difficulty that's not moving we're on

11:52 the ground level going up they have

11:54 learned enough to hold the lever for

11:55 second think that was a very special

12:15 occasion they've stopped doing that show

12:17 in recent months I believe I brought it

12:19 back for just today only because it's a

12:21 busy day that's called the fried pickle

12:55 right idea
