1:10
rate I'm just going to Texas for a
1:12
series of days three or four
1:15
days this is a relatively short trip in
1:17
comparison to some of the other ones I
1:19
have done and will be
1:25
doing in fact when I get there I'm not
1:25
even going to be running a car just
1:26
doing stuff around that general area for
1:28
a few days then coming
1:30
back then I'm home for about 10 days and
1:33
I believe on the 18th 17th 18th 19 is
1:37
give take a day of this month I
1:41
depart and I was kind of filling out my
1:44
calendar and booking hotels flights
1:46
rental cars travel things I was looking
1:50
at the calendar and it doesn't appear as
1:52
if I'm going to be back in Florida once
1:55
I leave in middle of this month of
1:58
July until the end of sep September I
2:00
will not be back in Florida for except
2:02
for like 5 or 6 days so over the course
2:05
of like 2 months 2 and 1/2
2:08
months two
2:10
months I'm only going to be home for
2:11
like 5 days so a lot of traveling coming
2:13
up this is just a short trip that I'm
2:15
I'm focusing on the control tower but I
2:17
got to head in cuz it's time to get to
2:19
the get in really excited about getting
2:21
some coffee I haven't had any yet and of
2:24
was in a rush to get everything packed
2:25
up ready to go my backpack on my suit
2:29
rolling suitcase here as well also I
2:34
have my passport I brought my passport
2:35
with me I'm not flying International
2:38
today but because I have a renewed
2:39
passport I'm going to see if they accept
2:41
that going through the
2:43
checkpoints I'm not even going to pull
2:45
my license out and just see I'm pretty
2:48
sure that that a passport is a more
2:51
legitimate form of identification than a
2:54
driver's license I'm going test that out
2:56
even though not going International yet
2:58
but it'll be the first time using that
3:00
in a while so this is kind of a
3:09
go-to didn't make the swooshing sound
3:09
when it switched
3:10
around but I've gotten in the habit of
3:13
always parking up here by the flat deer
3:15
on this top level got a little Sunburst
3:18
coming
3:28
tunnel going down
3:36
it's like you're running at an
3:36
incredible rate of speed
3:39
Harry all right let's check the board
3:42
here underneath this tile mural here on
3:45
the ground with the shuttle space Garden
3:47
it is called and I'm looking up top mine
3:50
is
3:51
155 900 a.m. departure gate 81 on time
3:57
me uh let me Zoom try to do the uh the
3:59
zoom in here well hold on again I'm
4:02
having some trouble with this uh there
4:03
we go it is right up there 9:00 a.m.
4:07
gate
4:13
81505 to Atlanta where I'm going to have
4:13
the layover no direct flight today just
4:16
a quick little layover and then off to
4:18
Dallas Fort Worth on time I like
4:27
that leaving Orlando haven't seen that
4:27
shirt before like it's got a little
4:29
spray paint Style on the bottom of it
4:33
there and at this time of the day it
4:35
doesn't really look too
4:38
incredibly busy in
4:40
here sometimes it's good to fly early
4:43
also because sometimes when the bad
4:45
weather will do delayed flights it's
4:47
later in the day so flying early Not a
4:49
Bad
4:50
Thing the iconic Fountain here well
4:54
iconic to me this is my home airport the
4:57
one I fly out in and out of the most I
4:59
fly to a a lot of
5:00
airports but I really like MCO it's very
5:03
easy to park also if you're flying in
5:06
here getting a rental car they're
5:07
located on property you don't have to
5:08
take like a shuttle to the rental car
5:10
they're basically right in the parking
5:11
structure kind of like how Orange County
5:14
is and a couple other
5:19
airports and it's not far from my place
5:19
20 minutes of traffic's good park my car
5:22
go somewhere for a few days or I'm going
5:24
somewhere for a few weeks I get dropped
5:27
off goes everywhere it's a main hub and
5:30
it's got a nice little Fountain here in
5:31
the little Courtyard area and I always
5:33
like to show this it's called The
5:36
Traveler it's a it's made out of I think
5:39
silicone it's not a real person I have
5:41
not gotten my Global Entry or the bypass
5:45
the line all that yet slowly but surely
5:49
I will at some point The Traveler it's
5:50
made out of bronze chromed in oil mixed
5:54
media with accessories
5:56
1985 but I got my passport so slowly but
5:58
surely getting things accomplished soon
6:01
hopefully as time goes on I'll get my
6:03
global entry and my I want to say front
6:05
of the line it's not called front of
6:06
line it's called something
6:08
else quick line no shoe line I don't
6:11
know what it is but I got I got to get
6:12
that look at this
6:14
line it's like a straight walk up like
6:17
hardly anybody over here in line gate 81
6:21
I think is mine so this is my gate that
6:23
went very smoothly very quickly I waited
6:25
about a minute and a half took my shoes
6:27
off took the laptop off put it in the
6:29
tray
6:30
put the bag in the
6:32
tray yeah it was uh that's was pretty
6:34
quick of course early so that has a lot
6:36
to do with
6:37
it and going through the B Gates I've
6:41
gone through other Gates before and
6:42
there's like the one the one you get
6:44
down at the other end of the airport lot
6:46
longer line than this one that one's
6:47
always got a long line this one for some
6:49
reason didn't have a very long line nice
6:52
and I am happy to say I did not even use
6:56
my regular driver's license
7:00
it's official my passport even though
7:02
I'm not flying International
7:04
today can be
7:06
used set of a driver's license to go
7:09
just on
7:09
regular stat
7:12
side
7:18
flights I mean it's pretty obvious but I
7:19
just wanted to use
7:22
that it's humid in here air conditioned
7:25
but also
7:26
humid this door panel is temporarily out
7:29
of Sur I'm reading it backwards cuz the
7:30
sign's facing the other way use the next
7:33
door which would be that
7:43
door please stand clear up the doors and
7:43
hold on to the on the gate link that's
7:46
what this is called gate
7:51
link probably like stand against this
7:51
Pole right
7:54
here rce myself
8:01
we're going to get a crossing of the two
8:01
mon rails there this is a mon rail this
8:03
is on one beam a mono rail one beam
8:12
rail really excited cuz now I can get
8:13
coffee when I'm over here yes over there
8:16
glistening in the
8:18
sun pulling into the gate link
8:27
station I really like this airport I
8:27
don't know maybe I'm just familiar with
8:28
it ooh they have scorpions over here
8:31
lollipop uh sucker uh scorpions they
8:35
also have crickets down over here you
8:37
can get some seasoned crickets over
8:40
there some gummy noodles how about some
8:42
an o a tube of ooze you can get a tube
8:47
oh oh my gosh these used to be called
8:49
pixie sticks but now I guess they're a
8:51
little sillier than before now they're
8:53
called silly
8:55
sticks silly sticks imagine just chewing
8:59
on one of these on the plane that way
9:01
you don't get like uh you know I chew I
9:02
chew gum on the plane just to get my
9:04
ears from popping on takeoff and Landing
9:06
what if I was just chewing on a big the
9:08
person next to me be like why is that
9:09
guy chewing on a big gummy waffle be
9:13
very confusing for them yeah to be
9:15
honest this is probably my least visited
9:17
section of MCO usually I'll go to
9:20
different Gates I flow in a lot of other
9:23
airlines I know I've flown out of Delta
9:25
here in the past but I just recently
9:27
started flying Delta more or less making
9:30
that my Airline signed up for some some
9:33
uh points for the got the credit card
9:37
for it I got the point the sky mile
9:39
points which will eventually at some
9:40
point add up but I have not real
9:42
familiar with this little section over
9:44
here but over time especially next year
9:47
Well I got a lot of travels this year
9:48
but next year with all the international
9:49
stuff I should rack up a lot of scy M
9:52
points in Delta now there is a Starbucks
9:54
here but there's also the Delta Sky Club
9:57
and I believe I am part of Sky Club
9:59
member ship now but I don't know how
10:01
many of those I get do I have to take
10:02
the stairs all the way up there I'm just
10:05
going to check it out I actually don't
10:06
even want to go in the lounge today but
10:07
I'm going to check it out unless it's
10:09
just complimentary coffee then maybe
10:11
I'll get some because I think that's com
10:12
with the credit card all that that I
10:16
look at this carpet on
10:24
the carpet on the elevator that's
10:24
fancy I think you get so many Sky Club I
10:29
you get so many Sky club visits per year
10:33
so I don't want to like burn through
10:34
them all right I just talked to one of
10:35
the team members Melissa very nice in
10:38
here so she was saying because I do have
10:41
the MX C that's connected to my Delta
10:44
Sky miles that all the lounges for the
10:46
rest of 2024 are
10:49
unlimited and that
10:51
includes food coffee things like that
10:55
you got the departure board up here she
10:58
said in 2020 I get 15 visits to the
11:01
lounges per year unless I rack up a
11:03
bunch of Sky M points and then obviously
11:05
that will
11:06
uh that will that will be unlimited if I
11:10
get a certain amount of Sky M
11:15
Points think about me though I don't
11:15
really like I don't really like sitting
11:17
around before a flight I like to pace
11:19
and walk and go through the gates and
11:21
the terminals and all that but I will
11:23
probably at some point I don't want to
11:24
eat before I get on the flight so I
11:26
don't know if I'll ever use the buffets
11:27
unless I'm like got a massive layover
11:30
but I will take advantage of this coffee
11:31
here yeah no
11:33
line this is all included on the the
11:37
lounge I mean the not waiting is
11:40
probably the best part of all of it look
11:43
at that that is piping hot look at this
11:47
they got they got bananas they got
11:49
oranges they got some Fig
11:51
Newtons over here looks like they got
11:55
some oh man they got
11:57
hummus Greek yogurt
11:59
some soups we got all kind of stuff in
12:01
here homemade grits
12:10
oatmeal sausages egg bacon just like a
12:10
bunch of everything in
12:13
here hash brown potatoes yeah this is
12:16
pretty look at the little sweet desserts
12:18
over here too I'm going to set my coffee
12:21
down right there just kind of meander
12:23
around so you got some bugs on the wall
12:25
over here you got some restrooms down
12:27
here yeah definitely nice I don't how
12:29
much time I'll spend in here but yeah
12:30
it's prettyy pretty nice in here pretty
12:32
pretty nice I take a look over here we
12:34
got some Mickey and Minnie Mouse artwork
12:35
on look really really nice chairs and
12:37
sitting are very a lot of a lot of Elbow
12:39
Room take a look at this classical
12:41
bicycle right
12:48
here all the different times across the
12:48
world that's pretty
12:55
cool don't know if they're all correct
12:55
they're all I don't think they're these
12:57
are not correct times times are off all
13:00
right back over at my gate now I think I
13:01
spent about a minute minute and a half 2
13:03
minutes 2 minutes in there kind of
13:04
wandering around but now I'm back over
13:06
to the gates now woo the sun is
13:08
definitely up now you can see uh looks
13:10
like looks like all the Delta planes
13:12
park over at this little particular
13:13
Gates and terminal so this this whole
13:15
section is specifically Delta now I
13:17
think the lounge is definitely going to
13:19
be very beneficial especially if there
13:20
is a massive delay like let's say I had
13:22
a layover and The Layover there was a
13:24
delay or a cancellation and I'm stuck in
13:26
an airport for 5 or 6 hours I can see
13:28
myself definitely lounging in there or
13:31
if it's later in the day I don't really
13:32
eat like breakfast early in the morning
13:34
and definitely don't want to like fill
13:36
up on the belly before getting on a
13:38
flight I like to like to be have an
13:40
empty stomach when I get on a flight
13:42
it's just uh just better that way it
13:44
just kind of work for me but if I you
13:45
know if there's ever an issue or if I
13:47
have a long period of time that I'll be
13:49
stuck in an airport I know I'm not going
13:51
anywhere then definitely the loues are
13:53
definitely going to come into but you
13:54
know when you're going to be sitting on
13:55
the plane for hours last thing I want to
13:58
be doing is just like sitting for a
14:00
couple hours before boarding I don't
14:02
know that's just me not everybody thinks
14:03
that way but yeah I just uh I think it's
14:06
going to be a beneficial thing but today
14:07
I'm not utilizing it so to get some
14:09
coffee and this is the correct Florida
14:12
time it's a Well we just moved up when
14:14
it's 6 minutes until 8:00 a.m. my flight
14:16
departs at 9: which means it's probably
14:18
going to board in about 25 minutes he
14:20
usually boards about 40 minutes prior so
14:22
it should be boarding in a little less
14:24
than a half hour 26 minutes I also like
14:26
to wander around and look at a lot of
14:28
the gift shop and things in here of
14:30
course because we are in Central Florida
14:32
standing here currently at the moment
14:33
they have uh a lot of Disney stuff you
14:36
got some the these I've never seen too
14:37
these are the Disney burrito is the is
14:40
the company right down here you got
14:43
Eeyore you got the other characters all
14:46
the around here Mickey mini you got a
14:49
aliceon Wonderland
14:51
there cute Orlando shirt there I would
14:55
imagine that Barbie because of the
14:57
popularity of the film is probably
14:59
brought back popularity of the dolls
15:02
look how many of the Barbies even have
15:04
some princess Disney princess Barbie
15:05
dolls in here too I'm sure the movie
15:08
helped kind of rejuvenate me there
15:09
already a popular product but yeah this
15:12
is not my plane but this is another
15:15
plane here on the little Delta side over
15:17
there you can also see the Southwest
15:19
going by down the runway also has the
15:21
LSG Sky chefs loading on some food I
15:25
believe the flight to Atlanta is only
15:26
like an hour and a half and then another
15:27
2 hours from Atlanta to Dallas probably
15:30
not a meal on this flight probably not
15:32
yeah I guess I should be showing this
15:33
one because this is my gate in my plane
15:36
I don't think there's a meal because
15:37
when you have like usually a meals only
15:39
serve when like you're in the air for
15:40
more than like 2 and 1 half hours give
15:42
or take I don't think I am at any point
15:43
today it's interesting because I will
15:45
eat a small meal on a plane when I'm
15:47
sitting in the seat section up front but
15:49
I don't know about like uh gorging
15:51
myself with the buffet with the at the
15:53
lounge I don't know maybe at some point
15:55
but I just uh I feel like when I'm
15:57
eating on a plane I know I'm going to
15:59
land soon then I know there'll be you
16:01
know a facility right when you get off
16:03
versus having to use the one on the
16:05
plane oh I don't know it's all it's all
16:07
in my head I I think all right it's time
16:10
now to board I am in group I am in seat
16:14
five
16:22
5
16:22
5D that's my
16:24
seat window seat I always try to get a
16:27
window seat so I can film out the window
16:29
I like to have my little cubby hole next
16:31
to the window Some people prefer the
16:33
aisle seat I like to have a window seat
16:36

25:48
very very briskly and I think I'm going
25:51

26:24
of see downtown Atlanta over there

pretty well I didn't have any Daddy
34:57
major delays it was a little bit rushed
34:59
to get on my layover on the connecting
35:02
flight looking through like a little
35:05
kind of like a little dirty window right
35:07
here I could purchase a coffee here or I
35:10
could maybe find the the lounge if they
35:14
if they have a Delta Lounge here and go
35:15
get a get a coffee before going to going
35:18
to get a a ride share to my hotel and
35:21
there is one right here this has a a
35:24
little fancy little some St fancy
35:26
stanion a little blue door which is
35:29
probably going to automatically open it
35:30

35:32
right I am utilizing it and yes they do
35:36
in fact have look they have a Coca-Cola
35:38
Freestyle machine over here and they
35:39
have Starbucks as well and check out the
35:43
fancy artwork over here on the side of
35:45
the I'm not really sure exactly what
35:46
some of this stuff is I guess like any
35:48
artwork it's up for some sort of
35:52
interpretation it's in the eye of the
35:54
beholder and over there got a view of
35:56
the planes as well look they have little
35:58
Rice Krispy Treats over here got some
36:00
southern greens beans mac and cheese you

36:07
board turkey sandwiches here's the
36:09
shakeri board non bread hummus double EG
36:14
potato salad oh my goodness okay so
36:17
truthfully I think the lounges will
36:19
definitely be a game Cher
36:21
especially upon arriving you know like I
36:24
said I don't really want to like Gorge
36:25
myself or be tempted by a buffet style
36:29
before getting on a plane but if I got
36:31
in late one night and I was before I
36:33
went to a hotel somewhere when I'm
36:35
traveling I didn't want to grab a bite
36:38
to eat at the hotel or trying to find
36:40
food late in the
36:42
evening well not too late cuz the
36:44
certain ones I asked the I asked the
36:47
people that were working in there they
36:48
said Each one is a little different
36:49
depending on the airport this one closes
36:52
at like 7 or 8 I said well what if
36:53
there's like a delay or your flight's
36:55
cancelled or bad storms and things like
36:57
that they said they kind of play it by
36:59
year but they do not stay Mo they said
37:02
according to
37:03
them they don't think a lot of them stay
37:06
open all night in 24 hours so you would
37:09
have to like You' have to leave the
37:10
lounge if there was an issue but it was
37:12
nice to grab a cup of coffee without
37:13
waiting in line for another coffee
37:15
didn't get any food didn't need any any
37:16
food in there but that food looked
37:18
pretty appetizing and at some point at
37:20
some point look at they have the sky
37:22
link going by which is a pretty cool
37:24
Transportation device up there
37:34
all right just got to find where the
37:34
ride share area pick
37:37
up down here
37:47
perhaps make my way over to my hotel for
37:47
the Eve or actually for the next few
37:50
days yeah I think I'm going to like the
37:52
lounge thing I think I'm going to like
37:53
Delta too I uh had some major issues
37:56
with American Airlines the last four
37:58
five six times I've done it and I'm kind
37:59

38:01

38:02

38:07
