0:20
reservation required
0:22

0:24
there by seeing mickey covered in
0:26
plastic
0:27
i meant to say 2021 not 2001. i'm not
0:30
going back in time
0:31
current time 10 10. technically the park
0:35

0:39
incredibly full from this angle yet 10
0:42
10 a.m
0:43
welcome everyone adam the woo here i
0:45
should also mention this is my first
0:46
visit back to epcot
0:48
since the first of the year i've kind of
0:50
stayed spoiler free on what's happened
0:52
what is windy
0:53
state's more than free on what's
0:54
happening in there i'm inviting you
0:56
to join me it was gusty i did not bring
0:58
my umbrella it is a little windy
1:01
and a little overcast i'm inviting you
1:04
to join me on today's adventure shall
1:06
you
1:06
there goes no mon i really hope the
1:10
monorail
1:11
does a loop today for old time's sake
1:14
but it is not going from ttc over here
1:17
as far as i know and
1:19
neither are the trams oh this vehicle
1:22
has its hood up
1:23
wow take a look at this
1:26
communicore is a thing of the past well
1:29
it has been for a while since they tore
1:30
down
1:31
a certain section of it but wow it is
1:34
almost all gone
1:35
and turning back the other direction a
1:37
real thing
1:38
of beauty spaceship earth and upon entry
1:41
there were plenty of topiaries
1:44
to get a keen eye at more than one or
1:46
two and
1:47
the entire entry plaza definitely looks
1:49
a lot more open since they removed the
1:51
leva legacies and placed them towards
1:53
the front of the entry point
1:55
a lot more open and i'm happy to
1:57
announce that
1:58
the flags here next to the the newly
2:01
brought back 80 style fountain have been
2:04
placed here again giving it that
2:06
that kind of retro vibe reminds me of my
2:09
youth
2:10
i definitely like it and for future
2:12
reference it is 10
2:13
42 18 minutes prior to technical rope
2:16
drop
2:17
and the gates are open and spaceship
2:19
earth is quite
2:20
operational so you can get here a little
2:23
bit early
2:23
and get on the attractions before it's
2:25
technically rope drop time
2:27
oh goodness this is awesome it was about
2:31
this time last year i did come to the
2:32
opening day
2:33
of this last year of course the parks
2:35
closed
2:36
just about a week or so after that so
2:39
flower and garden last year did not last
2:42
all that long getting a little behind
2:43
the scenes here
2:45
with some of the cast members who are
2:48
really decorating the very beautiful
2:52
garden section here
2:54
yeah seeing this throughout the regular
2:56
portion of the year when all the flowers
2:58
on here just seems
2:59
almost empty because this is this is a
3:01
real treasure trove of color
3:03
you're excited for some frushie that's
3:06
the pushy dance
3:06
who else is gonna get fruity you guys
3:08
gotta get frushie you're gonna do the
3:09
frushie
3:10
everyone's getting frushy i've never had
3:12
fruchi
3:14
have you had friends watch it you'll
3:16
watch it yeah i went ahead and got my
3:17
little
3:18
uh wrist strap here so i put fifty
3:20
dollars on this i don't
3:21
i don't have to pull any money out in
3:22
any of the little vestibules
3:24
and katie's here too she got one of the
3:26
little wrist straps
3:28
on it oh it sure does it has spaceship
3:31
earth isn't it cute
3:43
yeah see all the butterflies in here
3:43
frolicking around
3:46
so beautiful
3:51
did you know sunshine gives butterflies
3:51
the fuel
3:53
to fly and play so the more sunshine if
3:56
you don't see them in the morning
3:58
try spotting them when it's a little
3:59
warmer during the
4:02
the day time hours all right yes i was
4:06
correct there is a
4:07
figma topiary i was hoping there would
4:09
be and
4:10
my assumption was was correct
4:13
hello figment the soothing sounds of
4:16
construction work is going on
4:18
right over there they are going full
4:20
force with
4:21
future plans and announced
4:24
items that will be transpiring and
4:26
taking place and there's a there's a
4:27
bird right up here in this tree
4:30
beautiful bird chirping stuff it's kind
4:32
of tough to hear because there's a
4:34
tractor or something over there it
4:36
almost looks like goofy is
4:38
hammering onto that
4:41
epic attraction there in the distance oh
4:43
goodness
4:44
chip and dale have nailed it
4:48
because these are nails here they have
4:51
nailed this photo up
4:53
with what
4:57
he all right guys i just wasn't
4:59
expecting he wasn't
5:01
he wasn't expecting the the nailed it
5:03
comment because they look like nails
5:05
right here oh look at this he has a
5:08
oh pluto has a tape measure
5:12
in there he is he is heading up to
5:15
construction progress here
5:17
he is part of the reasoning on why all
5:20
this is happening
5:21
oh the monorail would add so much to
5:24
this
5:24
still amazing but imagine the monorail
5:26
just cruising across that beam
5:28
right there right you can picture it i
5:30
can picture it okay we're gonna veer off
5:32
from this and go over towards test track
5:34
and get some avocado toast from a booth
5:36
over there
5:36
and it looks as if i'm not the only one
5:38
with that idea there is quite a
5:40
congregation of folks here in line
5:41
i think i'm just going to go in i'll use
5:43
this as a little
5:45
yes this actually tastes like
5:52
yeah i think micah likes his avocado
5:54
toast as well
5:55
all right here at the pineapple
5:57
promenade they have a
5:59
violet yeah they have a violet drink
6:02
violet lemonade
6:03
and this is what we're dealing with it
6:05
has the flower put the spoon right in
6:06
there
6:08
yeah i'm kind of surprised i didn't have
6:10
a straw they give you a spoon
6:13
with it i don't know if you're supposed
6:14
to eat the eat the flour or not but i'm
6:17
eating the slushy part
6:20
oh that's tasty and cold tasty and very
6:23
cold
6:24
nice violet lemonade wouldn't you yeah i
6:27
bet you would
6:28
and i'm a fan of you like it lemonade
6:31
it's nice and tart and
6:32
violety yes a little sour a little sweet
6:35
a little violet
6:36
does it taste like violet it tastes like
6:38
that yeah i see you have constructed a
6:40
brand new
6:41
umbrella you're taking uh you're taking
6:44
a page out of the adam the woo handbook
6:47
because whenever it's sunny i will have
6:48
that except i did not bring
6:51
mine so i might have to just borrow
6:55
oh there we go oh that is so much better
6:57
isn't it amazing
6:58
that is no sudden size brella this is
7:01
rather rare there is only there's really
7:03
no line for joffrey's maybe two people
7:06
are showing i'm gonna get myself a
7:08
should i get myself a piping hot
7:09
caffeinated beverage
7:10
would you like a coffee you have to do
7:12
you want a coffee sure
7:14
you have opted not for a piping hot
7:15
caffeinated beverage but for
7:17
a cold brew yes so grab yours i call
7:20
that the ant
7:21
peru from peru yeah so pretty much
7:24
there is a frame inside of
7:28
their torsos and then they grow
7:31
the foliage around it so the little
7:34
the metal portion makes up the body and
7:36
the hands and the arms and the head and
7:38
the ears
7:39
and then they know how long it takes to
7:41
grow all that got fog coming out of his
7:43
mouth oh that's pretty cool
7:45
there are over 4 000 baskets dangling
7:48
produced each year
7:50
i'm reading that wrong number of number
7:52
hanging baskets produced
7:54
each year about 4 000 on average each
7:57
basket is in production for
7:58
three months and quote on stage
8:02
for three months wow i don't i just read
8:05
that and i don't even comprehend
8:06
anything of what i just said
8:07
so it takes them three months wait hold
8:10
on it's confusing right
8:11
and on stage for three so they hold them
8:14
in the back for three months and they
8:15
have them on stage for three months did
8:16
you know that dennis
8:18
we're trying to do there are some areas
8:20
of wdw that require mowing
8:22
three times a week you know why why the
8:24
rain so much here the grass actually
8:26
grows
8:27
wow that actually makes sense as opposed
8:31
to california where
8:32
you don't really mow like once a year
8:34
gardeners add up nearly 450
8:37
000 mowing miles per year dennis that
8:40
equals 18 trips around the earth
8:43
at its equator that's a powerful lawn
8:46
mower
8:46
it is to go around the earth that's a
8:49
lot
8:50
of gas that's a big laundry oh
8:54
wearing the t-shirt it's dev

with the yelling and whatnot we had our
15:20
hands in the air doing full-on coaster
15:22
style even though it doesn't do a loop
15:24
