1:10
shall you yeah nothing on the agenda
1:13
other than check out checkin it's kind
1:15
of nice to have a day where there's
1:17
nothing I have a few kind of peppered in
1:19
on this trip but there's a lot of
1:21
baseball games a lot of conventions a
1:23
lot of places I have to be at a certain
1:25
time today none of
1:28
that it's just really kind of hard to
1:30
believe for so long I was planning the
1:33
50th I was planning this
1:35
d23 now it's come and gone post d23 time
1:41
I mean it's still going on I'm just I'm
1:43
not going on the third day two days is
1:45
enough for me I do recommend staying
1:47
here I like staying on property
1:48
Disneyland hotel but if you stay on
1:50
Harbor you're pretty much right across
1:51
the street in fact you see the Montreal
1:53
beam right over there across Harbor so
1:55
you know it's only a few hundred yards
1:56
from the espan however if you do book a
1:59
room you're guaranteed at least one
2:01
parking spot but sometimes if you get
2:03
here later at night like I did when I
2:05
checked in a couple days ago they valet
2:07
your car which is complimentary so you
2:09
got to go back up here to the valet
2:10
stand give them a little ticket and then
2:12
when you give them the ticket they get
2:13
your car and they bring it back up here
2:15
for you but if you book a room here
2:17
you're guaranteed a parking spot I rent
2:19
out a car this trip all right while
2:21
grabbing the car I'm going to go here to
2:22
the lobby turn my keys
2:25
in drop Cana in sweets
2:34
they got some neat little kind of
2:34
artifacts in here for the h 100th at
2:37
this old Disneyland ticket here
2:39
complimentary ticket back when was $5 to
2:43
get
2:45
out and then we got some uh some Mickey
2:48
ears down here little ashtray you know
2:50
what's funny I have the Disney World
2:52
version of this ash tray that my buddy
2:54
Tiki J lives out here gave me years ago
2:57
he found out like a thrift store or
2:58
something
3:05
call look at this look at this little
3:05
Mickey right
3:06
here and here is a photo of the front of
3:11
the hotel back in the olden day look at
3:13
the mon going by right there on Harbor
3:15
used to be able to sit some lounge
3:17
chairs right there on Harbor Boulevard
3:20
there was the pool back
3:28
then look at that that a vintage photos
3:28
it's great
3:30
thank
3:36
you I also like the fact that there is
3:36
the
3:36
Cove gift shop right across the street
3:39
there there's no complimentary coffee in
3:42
the lobby each morning but you can get
3:44
some at The Cove you so
3:47
is yeah look there's the cast member
3:50
shuttle going by right there there's the
3:52
montal
3:54
beam monal doesn't run as frequently
3:56
here as it does in Walt Disney World so
3:59
you don't always catch them going by it
4:01
might be as frequently I just doesn't
4:03
seem like it if you're not staying here
4:05
you can park here let's say you wanted
4:06
to go to Disneyland
4:08
$42.50 there's not really a lot of
4:10
parking back there that's the only thing
4:12
but yeah I guess when it is available if
4:15
you want to Park 4 pay $42 if you don't
4:17
want to park at Mickey and friends or
4:19
Pixar hotel park right
4:23
there park right in here if you want to
4:25
you just walk right across which would
4:27
be pretty nice because let parking at
4:30
the structure taking the tra Tak it's
4:32
time consuming
4:33
o there
4:36
goes a bus obstructing them mon a
4:44
ra all right this is my this is my
4:44
rental here I'm going to take the long
4:47
commute Harbor to
4:49
ball to the Disneyland Hotel park there
4:52
go in the park and then check in later
4:55
again it's always a little weird being
4:56
back here now when it's very populated
5:00
with people all the hotels are open all
5:02
the restaurants are open cuz for about a
5:04
year and a half of me living here of the
5:06
3 years I lived here in Anaheim there
5:09
wasn't a lot going on every a lot of
5:11
stuff was closed Post 2020 but yeah
5:13
everything's back to normal and honestly
5:15
I have a ton of other memories as
5:18
well but just that time was such an odd
5:21
time that it just like etched in my head
5:23
I mean there's a lot of other memories
5:24
when everything was open but yeah for
5:25
some reason I just recollect R my bike
5:27
around here seeing this place completely
5:29
Ely empty I'll just never never forget
5:31
those days about a 5 minute commute if
5:34
that turning in here to the
5:38
iconic the
5:41
Magnificent Disneyland hotel
5:46
sign all right so I went to the little
5:48
checkpoint over there told him had a
5:50
reservation he said the room might be
5:52
ready even though it is only what 11
5:55
that's 11 right now it's actually 1054
5:57
he said if not feel free to just come
5:59
back at another time so I'm going to see
6:00
if I can check in now leaving my bags in
6:03
car and if I can check in I'll grab my
6:06
bags and do a little quick little room
6:07
tour and then head to the head to the
6:09
parks or vice versa or if it's not ready
6:13
I'll I'll go to the
6:15
parks and then come
6:17
back I'm staying in that Tower right
6:20
there also there's a reason so when I
6:23
came into town a couple days ago I
6:25
stayed here for one quick night only a
6:27
few hours only got like 3 or 4 hours of
6:28
sleep got in late and then I headed
6:30
early to d23 put my stuff in the car and
6:33
then check in Tropicana that night
6:35
there's a reason I did that this car
6:37
alarm is going off oh it
6:40
stopped see just say something out loud
6:43
and it turns that was that was not my
6:44
rental car doing that now it's back on
6:47
again but the reason that I ended up
6:49
doing that is because I booked this too
6:52
late in the game once the people other
6:54
people had plans for d23 and there
6:56
weren't rooms on the two nights I needed
6:58
it so I got one night had to be out of
7:00
here for two nights go somewhere else
7:02
and then back here for two or three more
7:03
nights so that's why I didn't stay here
7:05
the whole time because there weren't
7:06
rooms available for those two Ms but now
7:08
now I get one the
7:15
carpet such a great Hotel the DVC Disney
7:19
Vacation Club new area is the fourth
7:22
Wing there was three other Wings three
7:24
original Wings the DVC is more of a
7:27
retro style wing
7:29
and that's the one I'm staying at Disney
7:31
DVC is short for Disney Vacation Club
7:35
look at these umbrellas up here that's
7:36
what it's short for when I say DVC it's
7:39
basically Disney's version of a time
7:41
share Disney Vacation Club love all the
7:43
historical stuff here through the
7:44
decades the 50s course Disneyland open
7:47
in 55 so this this was this predated
7:50
Disneyland it was owned by someone else
7:52
and then Walton Disney bought that
7:54
bought it converted into the Disneyland
7:56
Hotel so the hotel the original wing of
7:59
the hotel
8:00
predated the park itself and you kind of
8:02
go through the decades over here so you
8:05
got I'll check out the uh all them up
8:08
here with the with the original owners
8:10
there of the hotel I believe and my
8:13
favorite thing over in here is the
8:15
nightmare fuel Mickey mask right there I
8:19
think someone needs to recreate this and
8:20
wear something like this to uh do like a
8:24
a haunt of some sort or I don't think
8:25
you're allowed to wear the any facial
8:28
mask coverings like this inside like
8:30
Oogie Boogie bash or Mickey's Not So
8:33
Scary Halloween party but that would be
8:35
a really good
8:37
horrifying cosplay I always love this
8:40
this thing's been in here for as long
8:41
far back as I can remember this whole
8:42
wall of Trinkets and retro good oh look
8:46
at this speaking of nightmare fuel look
8:48
at this Donald hat right there look at
8:52
that look at that Donald hat right there
8:54
all right good news I am able to check
8:56
in right now at 11:30 right over there
8:59
so yeah
8:59
Prett cool and I just had a post d23
9:02
cool moment I just met John's freaking
9:04
Stamos right here in the lobby yeah what
9:07
a nice freaking guy John Stamos is right
9:09
here in the lobby yeah that worked out
9:10
pretty good I always like parking up
9:12
here on the top floor so I remember
9:13
where I park plus kind of get a good
9:15
area view like I was just showing there
9:17
I am right there that's a 50-year-old
9:19
person plus 50 plus one day right
9:23
there first official full day after my
9:27
birthday I I'm just kind of having I'm
9:29
basically just going to have a birthday
9:31
week let just call this my 50th birthday
9:34
week celebration all right there it is
9:37
the Magnificent Montreal water slide now
9:41
I am going I think I am the other pool
9:43
side Gardens garden pool side I'm not
9:46
sure if it's this side or the other side
9:48
but that's the one I meant see how the
9:49
coloration and the architecture is a
9:51
little bit different and the uh the
9:53
color palette is a little bit different
9:55
over here more retro-ish well I guess
9:57
they're all kind of retro but that's
9:58
definitely a lot more colorful and
9:59
heartsy yeah there it is right there
10:01
there's uh John Stamos and
10:04
myself it definitely look like I could
10:07
use some coffee cuz I not had a piping
10:08
hot caffeinated beverage yet but
10:10
nonetheless I never met Stamos before
10:13
big Disney
10:14
guy big big Disney guy says Billy Corgan
10:17
I met Billy Corgan once actually I had
10:18
lunch with Billy Corgan in
10:20
Texas many years ago and we didn't talk
10:23
about Smashing Pumpkins at all we talked
10:26
about Disney and his fandom of Disney
10:29
okay this is the room tour now I'm
10:31
staying in the garden rooms which I've
10:33
never stayed in before I've stayed at
10:34
this hotel this to be the second no
10:37
third time I stayed here with my mom
10:38
last year when we were coming back from
10:41
Hawaii and then I stayed the other night
10:44
here I think it was like the seventh or
10:46
eighth floor similar style room but this
10:49
one
10:51
is one of I think eight rooms eight or
10:54
10 rooms that are right by the pool and
10:57
have a Lai
10:59
as flet would say I don't like to
11:00
discuss business on the Lai but I will
11:04
enjoy some pool time during my tenure
11:06
here on the Leni so yeah you got the
11:10
Disneyland Hotel condiment kit over
11:12
there with the c rig now I also recall
11:14
my mom and I stayed in this Resort back
11:17
in I guess it was October I think it was
11:19
October of last year there used to be a
11:21
mirror here that would slide across and
11:23
no one well I could not figure out that
11:26
there
11:27
was a uh an an opening here to hang your
11:30
clothes and evidently I was not the only
11:33
one because I noticed at the room the
11:34
other night and this room they have
11:36
removed that mirror unless I'm going
11:38
completely crazy and there was never a
11:39
mirror there but I do remember in my
11:42
mind there used to be a rolling mirror
11:45
there there's also this which is a
11:46
Murphy bed that pulls out this pulls
11:48
down into that of course you can see the
11:51
pool right out there I like
11:54
the little backdrop there I don't I
11:57
think that might be a different above
11:58
the bed backdrop different than the
12:00
other rooms in fact it is the other ones
12:03
are Tiana themed if I recall this is not
12:07
Tiana
12:08
themed as well this is actually Cinder
12:11
oh no Snow White Sleeping Beauty what am
12:13
I saying Sleeping
12:15
Beauty right through
12:18
here and these are DVC rooms there's my
12:21
DVC backpack I'll packed up they also
12:24
give you this little lithograph I
12:26
already have one of these here this
12:28
isn't the one I have but they they have
12:29
one every time you check in you got a TV
12:31
here you got a mirror here you got the
12:34
nice little decorations through here you
12:36
got a mini fridge got the remote to the
12:39
TV I guess this would be a queen bed
12:42
here yeah that would be a queen bed and
12:44
then this also is the Murphy queen bed
12:48
there's a lot of mirrors in here there's
12:49
another mirror right here as well I
12:52
really love this
12:54
Resort I love this Resort a lot and I
12:57
like this room kind of it's kind of neat
12:58
I did not on this I thought I had a
13:00
regular room and now that I've dropped
13:01
my bags off here in the room just kind
13:04
of early checkin now going to head I'm
13:07
not going to the pool I'm go to the pool
13:08
at some point while I'm here but I want
13:10
to pop over into the parks need a coffee
13:13
probably will wait and get Starbucks
13:15
downtown
13:16
Disney and then uh peruse around
13:18
Disneyland come back over here later
13:20
maybe hit the pool maybe take a little
13:23
snooze I don't know today I'm just kind
13:25
of kind of winging it didn't expect to
13:26
be checking in here until 4: but it's
13:29
not 4 it's way earlier than 400 it's
13:32
only 11:30 so checked out of the other
13:34
Hotel got over here commuted parked in
13:35
the parking lot also parking to park
13:38
here if you're not staying here is $40
13:41
an hour and then every hour after that
13:45
it's an additional charge I don't
13:46
remember what the additional charge is
13:47
so if you're not staying here and you're
13:49
trying to secretly Park here at the
13:51
hotel and then go to Disneyland you
13:53
might come back to like a $100 parking
13:55
bill so don't do that don't try to use
13:57
that hack and if you're staying here as
13:59
a regular guest it's $40 flat rate per
14:03
day which is pretty standard you state
14:04
at Universal Hilton I think it's $35 so
14:07
that's kind of on par with the resort at
14:10
a theme adjacent to a theme park however
14:13
if you're a Disney Vacation Club member
14:15
which I am just like Alani they comp the
14:19
parking completely so even though you're
14:22
staying here as a paying guest every
14:24
night you're paying $40 to park you
14:26
purchase a room cash but your DVC number
14:29
that's included just like elani so
14:31
little little perks here and there there
14:33
a lot for DVC support point but
14:36
sometimes they give you a little perks
14:37
where it's like okay that's nice all
14:39
right heading over to Disneyland I also
14:40
like the little packet they give you
14:42
here with the room keys are in it and a
14:45
little marble top you also got once a
14:49
Once Upon A Dream right down there and
14:52
then you can keep these if you so choose
14:54
after check out little souvenir cards
14:57
here very rarely do hotel have keys
14:59
anymore the keys are on cards yeah the
15:05
the area of keys like cars have key fobs
15:07
and rooms have
15:09
cards sorcerer's hat d23 was all about
15:13
Sorcerer Mickey so it's kind of
15:15
appropriate I'm walking directly
15:16
underneath the sorcerer's hat so if you
15:19
look up at it you don't want to spin
15:21
this around I'm not going to spin it
15:22
around but if you spin it that way a
15:25
bunch of times you kind of get a little
15:27
a little bit nauseous also serious
15:29
construction update going on down here
15:32
all this stuff is going ver fully
15:35
vertical things are
15:38
changing and lot lots more changes
15:40
coming up with the announcements of d23
15:44
this is weird walking this way over
15:45
through downtown
15:46
Disney oh wow this is all brand new wow
15:50
this is really nice look at this it's
15:52
like a whole massive area here that says
15:56
Downtown this is a whole new section why
15:59
are there so many people over in this
16:00
line though this is all brand new right
16:02
that took a little bit longer than it
16:03
used to took cuz now everyone's kind of
16:04
funneled to one area but I love this
16:06
like retro artwork right here you got
16:08
the downtown Disney this is all kind of
16:10
new you got PTO there you got this neat
16:13
little wall along here this all new to
16:15
me and tell you how many tacos I ate in
16:19
here back when I lived in this area but
16:20
now something new and is exciting is
16:23
coming to this restaurant here look they
16:24
even took the sign down right over there
16:27
they had the best table side guacamole
16:29
I'll say the rest of the menu was kind
16:31
of average the tableside guacamole was a
16:34
thing of beauty I really liked it there
16:36
but you know what progress that's
16:38
progress deer I never accurately
16:40
measured how many steps it is or the
16:42
distance radio but it feels like oh
16:44
monal going by look at
16:46
that Montreal going by out there but it
16:49
does feel like it took way longer even
16:52
with the new like little security
16:54
checkpoint area to get from Disneyland
16:56
hotel to the front gate of Disneyland
16:58
considerably farther Le TimeWise can't
17:02
speak the distance than it was just
17:03
staying at Tropic Canan Harbor Tropic
17:06
Canon Harbor is just right like a couple
17:07
hundred yards from the espan you just
17:09
like walk right across Harbor and you're
17:10
right in it so I feel like some of the
17:13
value hotels that are off property like
17:15
Tropicana or any of these other on Best
17:17
Western and all those are closer than an
17:20
onproperty Hotel of Disneyland hotel now
17:22
I can't say the same about Grand
17:24
California because that's way closer
17:26
than Disneyland hotel but yeah so fun
17:28
fact if you're if you're doing the math
17:30
on it Disneyland of course home of the
17:32
original elongated rectangle here you
17:35
leave today and ear the world from
17:36
yesterday tomorrow in fantasy Orlando
17:39
Central Florida Parks has an oval and
17:41
just to kind of harp a little bit on the
17:43
announcements at d23 yesterday one of
17:45
them for my closest Home Park while
17:48
Disney World the whole dinosaur area is
17:50
going away and dinosaur is going to be a
17:52
new Indiana Jones attraction different
17:55
than Temple of forbidden eye that's
17:57
pretty exciting you do and kto is coming

33:07
journey to imagination old school there
33:10
you know when they had these uh popcorn
33:12
buckets I'm not a popcorn bucket guy
33:14
I've never done popcorn buckets but when
33:17
they encourage people to modify them and
33:19
they hit them around the parks and
33:20
everything yeah I thought oh that's cute
33:23
but not for me until Inside Out 2 came
33:25
out okay and I had an idea
33:28
cuz uh Pete doctor likes to hide those
33:30
Easter eggs of figment in inside out I
33:34
said I'm going to take this to the last
33:36
day of Pixar Fest I got it in no one
33:39
cares so someone there said hey take it
33:42
to d23 I said oh that's a great idea so
33:44
I actually had the privilege of getting
33:48
Tony Baxter to sign it oh yeah and Pete
33:50
doctor to sign it today and the part
33:53
that made it special to me is they
33:57
seemed
33:58
as excited as I was they loved it oh man
34:01
it was that's great that's really cool
34:03
so I actually have this popcorn bucket
34:05
but it's not as adorned as the one that
34:07
you have done oh I uh I was second
34:10
guessing my choices halfway through the
34:12
process but when when I saw their
34:15
reactions that's great Tony's the best I
34:18
met him I met him yesterday and Pete
34:19

34:22
