2:23
shall you have a great day today okay
2:26
thank you going into the park
2:27
entrance here you can see spaceship
2:30
earth is
2:31
well it's a it's an artistic rendition
2:34
of spaceship earth
2:36
that says park entrance this direction
2:46
that's a pretty good dramatic dramatic
2:46
intro right very good just to
2:48
point out a few new items over here
2:50
they're going to have a tram route
2:51
that once the tram start running again
2:53
is going to reopen
2:54
and they have moved leave a legacy that
2:57
was directly in front of spaceship earth
2:59
in the park
3:00
to outside the park and you can kind of
3:02
see some of the partitions over there
3:04
from leave a legacy leave a legacy is
3:07
back
3:08
okay going through the screening and
3:09
heading in and still
3:11
near well it is the end of march more or
3:13
less well a couple days before the end
3:15
of march the monorail
3:16
is not running i was thinking after june
3:19
or
3:20
january 1st when park hopping returned
3:22
that the monorail would return but it
3:24
hasn't
3:25
and you can really hear a lot of a lot
3:28
of working going on over there what was
3:30
the electric
3:30
umbrella back in the day and the the
3:33
rather large
3:34
fountain right there in the middle next
3:36
to the the starbucks and club cool
3:39
and of course do not call this the epcot
3:41
ball or the golf ball
3:43
it is spaceship earth a thing of beauty
3:46
what's it like seeing it again for
3:47
how long has it been like maybe five
3:49
years five years because you were here
3:51
last time
3:51
yeah it's even prettier than i remember
3:54
so it is a thing
3:55
of beauty i think we're gonna go over
3:58
and get in line for frozen first before
4:00
the light gets too long it's still like
4:01
10 minutes
4:03
technically before opening so should be
4:06
able to beat the crowds over there
4:07
i always like this angle here the
4:09
reflection against the the side of the
4:11
glass of the guest relations
4:13
building you can see spaceship earth
4:15
they're just kind of reflecting
4:17
and that really is a thing of beauty
4:20
added a little bit onto the roof line of
4:22
former
4:22
ellen's energy adventure which is going
4:24
to be the guardians pre-show and
4:26
cue the guardians building over there
4:29
and not really sure if they're still
4:30
going to do the new pavilion
4:32
which was the wonders of life you can
4:33
see the dome from wonders of life
4:35
oh wow looks like they're testing the
4:36
barges over there in the lagoon they
4:38
have the
4:39
the water kind of protruding up into the
4:41
air off the top of what i refer to as
4:43
the barge taco all right have found a
4:46
place in line doesn't look to be too bad
4:48
and i'm seeing some sort of what is this
4:50
is that a well that's a troll
4:52
yeah it seems like uh wherever i go
4:54
there's always a there's always a
4:56
there's always a troll looming nearby
4:59
didn't have to wait too long about 20
5:01
minutes it's a good thing to
5:03
start this off first thing even though
5:05
it still is the same ride track as
5:07
maelstrom in fact you're
5:07
even in the same boats i really do enjoy
5:10
the over not overly it's a completely
5:11
new attraction but i do enjoy
5:13
how frozen took over for maelstrom still
5:15
a lot of fun it's not the same
5:17
but definitely definitely they did a
5:18
heck of a good job on this in my opinion
5:21
and also flower and garden festival is
5:23
taking place 2001's well taste
5:25
of epcot international flower and garden
5:29
2021 heading back over into future world
5:31
now we're going to walk around world
5:32
showcase a little later but
5:33
i want to check out some of the future
5:35
world if it's even going to continue to
5:37
be called
5:38
future world after the construction has
5:39
completed some of those attractions
5:41
throughout the course of the day even
5:43
from this angle you know obviously you
5:44
get distracted by spaceship earth over
5:46
there but from this angle
5:47
pretty good view of the land pavilion
5:49
he's going to do that and nemo and of
5:51
course a little
5:52
figment visit in that section
5:56
goofy's got a hammer you say to this a
5:58
number of times but
5:59
what is one thing is definitely missing
6:01
during all these time frames is the
6:02
monorail not going by it really adds to
6:04
the ambiance
6:07
of epcot now the obvious would be the
6:09
lion king topiaries but what i am
6:11
noticing is
6:13
the structure from communicore which has
6:15
now been complete
6:16
update news flash has been
6:20
taken apart here where club cool was you
6:22
can fully see
6:23
spaceship earth and all its glory except
6:25
for this except for the wall
6:26
and of course there's the light but yeah
6:28
that's pretty neat they've
6:30
fought that that section where club pool
6:31
was the the frame
6:33
the framing of it has been removed
6:36
look at that you are becoming one with
6:39
figment you are now
6:40
figment you have the the horns and you
6:43
have the figment wings
6:45
there you go look at that for a while
6:47
this was all this water was removed
6:50
there were rumors that it wasn't going
6:51
to be refilled back up for the
6:54
future moana attraction which is going
6:56
to be
6:57
through this section but the water is
6:58
back for now
7:00
it looks as if a few butterflies have
7:02
escaped from their tent
7:03
directly behind the topiary figment
7:06
speaking of figment
7:07
he has his own attraction going to go
7:09
through and see
7:10
figment and in all his glory take all
7:13
you need is a little
7:14
imagination you know nigel
7:17
channing is you know doesn't really
7:19
understand figment they're going through
7:21
going through the ride itself but by the
7:23
very by the very end he gets it
7:25
we all get it all you need is a a little
7:28
imagination that's it nothing else
7:30
just some imagination and you know
7:34
your face inside a a gargantuan moon
7:36
doesn't hurt
7:37
much either fun fact around the back
7:41
side of imagination pavilion you see
7:42
pooh over there he has his butterfly nap
7:44
there are restrooms back here that play
7:45
the original early 80s epcot music
7:48
now i had heard a rumor that the the
7:51
water that bounces
7:53
from each of these little splash pads
7:55
had returned
7:56
however it seems as if the rumor is not
8:00
substantial or at least
8:01
it was happening but not happening now
8:03
it's right here next to the pvc
8:05
fountain another neat thing about this
8:06
is the waterfall goes upwards
8:09
so it really wouldn't be a waterfall
8:11
would be uh the falling would be
8:13
downward
8:14
it's a it's it's some sort of water for
8:18
a water up into the pvc fountain
8:21
and over here these little floating
8:23
planters
8:25
are tied down they're kind of
8:26
stanchioned down with a rope or some
8:28
sort of metal wire
8:30
from up here on the second level appears
8:32
as if living with the land wait
8:34
time is about 10 minutes so got to go
8:36
get in line for living with the land
8:39
yeah just to reconfirm it says 10 men
8:41
there is a quite a few people in line
8:42
though so i don't know if 10 minutes is
8:44
accurate but
8:45
it moves pretty good i almost fell i
8:47
almost fell off there i gotta watch
8:48
where i went going when i'm recording
8:50
oh we're heading into a thunderstorm now
8:53
a little bit of rain in here we got the
8:55
front seat so we do not have any
8:56
plexiglass between us and there's no
8:59
other guests
9:00
in front so kind of get the the full
9:03
experience through here
9:05
it's an alligator down there oh it's
9:08
over here
9:10
oh it's very dark over in there now
9:11
we're heading into the desert
9:13
the desert of plains is the sun
9:18
very hazy through here in the middle of
9:20
the desert
9:21
going into the section that always
9:23
reminds me of the bio dome
9:25
of holly shore film i don't think i
9:27
don't think i don't know if polly
9:28
shore's ever done living with the lamb
9:30
boat right but if he has
9:31
he probably thought the same thing going
9:32
through here
9:48
we got some fish up here on either side
9:48
oh there we go there's a hidden mickey
9:50
made out of a hose
9:53
passing the tomatoes and the lettuce is
9:56
grown on these little
9:57
circular almost corkscrew looking items
10:00
right here you can see how the lettuce
10:02
is
10:02
in the corkscrew circular device
10:06
as well there we go there's some
10:08
rosemary something called a snap
10:10
dragon and here's some brussels sprouts
10:12
over here dangling from this
10:14
mechanism and over here is are some fish
10:17
that are
10:18
fertilizing the plants above it we have
10:20
cut jamming gardeners
11:36
i'm noticing over here now look at this
11:36
dragon here that has
11:38
walked up onto the shore you get a
11:40
pretty good view here we're on that
11:42
almost almost around the full circle oh
11:43
halfway point of world showcase and
11:45
there pretty much is no line for fuji so
11:47
why not get in line for some frustration
11:49
okay thank you here we go
11:52
we got sushi there double sushi
11:59
experience yeah i'll lather mine up in
11:59
the whipped cream
12:00
i'm so good it's good right
12:05
it's a little different than regular
12:06
sushi
12:12
it kind of makes sense it tastes like
12:12
it's like there's coconut rice or
12:13
something
12:14
oh yeah you just clamp onto it like that
12:16
you got the little
12:21
quite a few bonsai trees through here as
12:24
well yeah i see all these these bonsais
12:26
that are looking very very beautiful
12:29
different assortment of bonsais
12:31
now usually you know in the past the
12:33
voices of liberty would perform right
12:34
here but during this current time frame
12:36
they are
12:36
performing out near the lagoon i always
12:39
love this room here as you go up the
12:41
escalators
12:42

12:45
flags

12:49

13:28
very piping hot caffeinated joffrey's

13:39

13:40
there also from joffrey's this is a
13:43
this is a little bit you got the little
13:45
this like almost looks like mulch but
13:47
it's very soft
13:48
it's so squishy very squishy and soft
13:50
through here this is a nice little area
13:52
and there's also some seats over here if
13:54
you're wondering oh you know what we
13:55
should do we should grab these seats
13:57
right here and enjoy i'll enjoy my
13:59
piping hot caffeinated beverage you
14:00
enjoyed your frozen very frozen
14:02
frozen mine uh mine has a sleeve on it
14:06
but it really needs two sleeves
14:07
this thing is this thing has some heat
14:13
oh there's the dolphin up there swimming
14:13
along the top almost near the top of the
14:17
of the water level up there see the
14:18
dolphin up there just kind of oh there
14:20
here comes a dolphin it's coming over
14:22
the window hello dolphin i'm still going
14:24
to come saying hi
14:25
oh these dolphins go no way the dolphin
14:27
comes okay we're being avoided ignored
14:31
there really are a heck of a lot of fish
14:33
in there look at all those
14:36
wow there's a lot look at that
14:55
circle pit when this next song starts i
14:55
want to see this whole place open up
14:58
circle pit
15:04
you have to look very closely but just
15:04
to the side
15:05
of spaceship earth is the moon up there
15:08
see the moon yeah barely can see it
15:11
we're going to go on spaceship earth
15:13
because
15:14
we need to thank the phoenicians always
15:16
a good time on this
15:18
even from here now you can see all the
15:19
way over there and you can see the
15:21
pyramids
15:21
of figment journey to imagination you
15:24
can never see that before because
15:26
communicore building was was obscuring
15:29
it
15:29
that's pretty neat if you had to say
15:31
what would be your favorite scenes on
15:33
this if you had to pick like two or
15:35
three of your favorite
15:36
favorite moments i
15:46
when they first invented the newspaper i
15:46
love that scene we see that one kid that
15:48
doesn't have the face oh yeah now he's
15:50
now he's
15:50
he's he used to be facing the ride
15:52
vehicles when i was facing the wall
15:53
so the newspaper thing what would be the
15:55
third favorite third would be the
15:57
science with the lady with the
16:00
with the yellow turtleneck but you see
16:02
she's so iconic
16:03
at the very almost towards the very top
16:05
and like the in the computer room
16:07
computer room nice those are three good
16:09
saints and now time
16:11
for test track
16:18
they're making an announcement saying
16:18
that there are some
16:20
technical difficulties that we could
16:22
wait in line
16:23
or we could call it an evening there are
16:25
still
16:26
cars going around though but there are
16:28
some people leaving the line though
16:31
all right they just made the
16:32
announcement after waiting about another
16:34
30 40 minutes we're about to it's go
16:36
time
16:36
and under your chin while you're in line
16:38
and when you're on the interaction
16:40
guess that you're not comply will be
16:41
asked to leave also look down at your
16:43
feet there should be a blue and white
16:45
ground marking
16:46
if you don't see a blue white ground
16:47
marking that means you're way too close
16:48
to the party in front of you
16:50
and should take a couple steps back to
16:51
maintain that six week distance
16:54
hand sanitizer is available for your
17:55
that's gonna do it for today
17:55
a beautiful day here at epcot and into
17:58
the evening
17:58
spaceship earth under the shroud of
18:01
nightfall looking
18:02
rather amazing rather beautiful rather
18:05
spectacular
18:06
if i do say so myself and i would not be
18:09
the i would probably be the only one
18:10
that shares
18:11
that thought process see in the next
18:13
video the vlog
18:15
is yes i still call it epcot center
18:19
i can't i always have and pretty much
18:21
always will the vlog
18:24
is over
