1:07
of things that are taking place at the

1:24
future to start reopening that i am very

1:33
better
1:34
around these parts and i'm just going to
1:35
cruise around
1:37
on the bicycle and kind of do an update
1:40
around disneyland and dca without going
1:43
in
1:43
anywhere i'm just gonna ride around
1:46
enjoy the day it is cool out here it
1:49
might warm up i'm gonna have to take
1:50
this off by the way
1:51
wearing a different jacket than my epcot
1:53
center one that i had in florida
1:55
i have about a dozen here at this
1:58
current homestead
1:59
here in southern california and i will
2:01
also be
2:02
downsizing dramatically over the next
2:06
couple of weeks by the first of february
2:08
by the end of january
2:10
i am going to be decreasing my
2:12
accommodations
2:13
of where i am currently residing and
2:18
this might be on the chopping block as
2:19
well i might end up i might not have
2:22
room for the bicycle so i wanted to
2:24
wanted to utilize it over the next time
2:26
period
2:27
and just kind of do my thing
2:31
i'm inviting you to join me let's let's
2:34
let's gallivant around shall you now as
2:38
far as i know there have not been
2:39
any events here at the convention center
2:43
since everything started to take place a
2:46
while back
2:47
but i'm noticing i do not recall
2:50
in past times that i have gone by here
2:54
that i have seen these
3:04
these little washboards let me zoom in
3:04
and even though nothing is taking place
3:06
indoors they do
3:07
have this out front
3:10
which means are they preparing for
3:12
something
3:13
down the road yeah that's a good sign
3:16
i mean that's that's that's just a sign
3:18
in general because it really is a sign
3:20
but it's a good sign
3:21
because these were not here last time i
3:23
peeked in this window
3:25
rolling down west street now
3:28
and right up here for the past six
3:31
months
3:32
perhaps they have been accepting
3:34
vehicles to pull in
3:36
if you wanted to get checked
3:40
i'm seeing if any of that has has
3:43
changed
3:44
and where the new facility will be
3:47
now some you know the some of the
3:49
articles say it's going to be
3:52
in the park itself which i highly doubt
3:55
okay they still are doing okay they hope
3:59
yeah they got i see them over
4:00
there look okay i think this is the one
4:02
that was already going
4:04
prior this is not going to be where the
4:06
new facilities are but i am on a mission
4:08
to find those new facilities this says
4:11
by appointment
4:12
open not open to the general public you
4:14
have to make an appointment
4:16
beforehand to get in there
4:20
this also says staff entrance
4:24
they're bringing in some fresh chairs
4:26
there
4:28
also looks as if they've done quite a
4:30
bit of work
4:32
on the new westin hotel here
4:36
yeah looks pretty nice just doing the
4:38
finishing touches up there
4:40
see they have uh some heavy machinery
4:42
inside and they are widening
4:45
this section of coachella
4:48
right across there
4:56
there is a an open little gully
4:56
right there see they're widening this
4:59
section of catella
5:01
i do wonder if with the recent
5:02
announcements
5:04
are they going to be doing those inside
5:05
the anaheim convention center
5:07
with those chairs pulling in and the new
5:09
signage
5:10
it makes me wonder i haven't really read
5:14
up on all the facts
5:15
the figures on how it's going to work or
5:18
when the general public is going to be
5:20
allowed
5:22
to do so that will all come to fruition
5:27
as the days go on but i know it's
5:29
looming very very soon
5:31
very soon this is good
5:36
coffee bean and tea leaf where i've
5:38
gotten many a piping hot beverage has
5:40
reopened
5:41
it opened and closed and now the banner
5:43
states that they're back
5:45
that's really good heading past the bus
5:47
stop here
5:48
see what else is down patella just a
5:50
ways
5:53
see what's happening up here some new
5:55
banners
5:57
says be incredible a message from
5:59
disneyland
6:01
that's not the only one i gotta keep
6:03
moving to go by
6:04
this motel get moving up here there's
6:06
another
6:08
there's another banner with one of the
6:11
characters from the
6:12
incredible incredibles up top see they
6:16
have
6:18
they have placed oh my goodness there's
6:21
a lot of cars over here
6:23
oh look at this there are a heck of a
6:26
lot of cars in the toy story parking lot
6:28
i have not seen that
6:30
in a long time yeah
6:34
okay this is good
6:42
quite a bit of automobiles going into a
6:42
checkpoint there
6:43
as well as stationed over there okay
6:46
let's see what this says
6:48
oh there it is it says buy appointment
6:52
only
6:54
we zoom in a little bit kind of tough to
6:57
read with the sun glare
6:58
but that's the statement right there by
7:00
appointment only
7:02
take a right at the signal okay so the
7:05
rumors
7:06
were completely true they are doing this
7:09
on disneyland property
7:11
that's exciting this is some serious
7:15
history right here wow look at this
7:20
yes i apologize for the sun that's kind
7:22
of bleaching it out but you can see
7:25
a lot of other there's some news vans
7:28
over there and this
7:29
is a there's a lot of people pulling in
7:31
here
7:48
yeah you can see some reporters over
7:48
there got some
7:50
reporters over here vans over here
7:54
everyone documenting what's taking place
7:59
this is something that we will look back
8:00
on as a pivotal point i am certain
8:04
i need to get myself one of those type
8:06
of cameras
8:12
now i don't believe without an
8:12
appointment i'm not sure how you get an
8:15
appointment yet
8:16
all that we'll have to figure all that
8:18
out
8:20
but see if i can zoom in on the tent
8:21
over there or the tents over there
8:24
it is a real beehive of activity in
8:38
this bus stop has been temporarily
8:38
halted
8:39
simply because of what's taking place
8:42
so if you're taking the oc bus this stop
8:46
is out of service
8:52
for today anyway this is certainly a
8:52
a glimmer of hope no i have no idea i am
8:57
not
8:58
i'm not a doctor or nurse any sort of
9:01
expert in fact i am very unknowledgeable
9:02
when it comes to all of this just have
9:04
to
9:05
go off my instinct and you know follow
9:09
follow the accordances
9:15
but it seems to be a good step in the
9:15
right direction as far as progress goes
9:19
time will tell and i'll have to do a
9:20
little more research on it but yeah this
9:22
is
9:31
another zoomed in angle here from the
9:31
sidewalk i am going to go over to the
9:33
gates of disneyland and do the full
9:35
circle around
9:38
so just to clarify this is not taking
9:41
place
9:41
inside the park but it is on property
9:46
toy story parking this back end of toy
9:49
story parking here
9:50
as of the recording of this wednesday
9:52
january 13
9:54
2021 the entrance is just off of
9:58
catella avenue the public entrance
10:01
but it is by appointment only you have
10:05
to have an appointment
10:06
as of the recording of this on this day
10:08
you know that might
10:09
that might escalate quickly and change
10:12
but as of now that's the
10:13
procedures
10:18
they're walking back up to the
10:18
intersection of clementine
10:20
so look for the intersection of
10:21
clementine
10:23
and catella avenue
10:27
that's what you're looking for
10:33
this is the most amount of activity i've
10:37
seen here
10:38
this corner in a long time
10:46
a long time
10:46
it is a little difficult to read with
10:47
the sun glare as i said
10:49
but it says show proof of eligibility
10:53
two cars pull per stall
10:57
show proof of eligibility
11:11
kind of listening into what he's saying
11:11
kind of just reiterating what i said
11:13
about toy story parking lot
11:21
so they're off to somewhat of a
11:21
successful start
11:22
here at disneyland a few glitches early
11:24
this morning but they're hoping to get
11:25
the cakes out
11:26
in the next few days
12:00
should also point out that these are not
12:00
cast members
12:02
not disney cast members they're just
12:05
using the property
12:08
from what i can tell
12:15
if you look closely you can see the
12:15
the rock formations there over at dca
12:18
peaking above the tree line
12:20
i got 20 seconds to cross i'm gonna go
12:22
over here and
12:24
see walt star
12:32
highly doubtful that he would have ever
12:32
thought that you know his original magic
12:35
kingdom
12:37
would be closed for 10 months 10 plus
12:49
there goes no
12:49
monorail it is rather unusual
12:52
especially coming back from florida
12:55
where everything is more or less on a
12:57
partial scale reopened
12:59
to here where that is not the case
13:03
at all a very
13:06
very different scenario
13:09
for now i keep saying that for now
13:12
in time we'll look back on this and and
13:16
recall how it was
13:24
oh wow right here is now
13:24
a new establishment called anytime
13:26
hawaiian
13:28
barbecue and local food this was gym
13:31
boys this was one of my
13:33
this is one of my little areas that i
13:34
would sit right there
13:36
and enjoy some of the best tacos
13:42
in this section and the sign was removed
13:42
but it looks like another
13:44
another business has taken over the
13:46
former gym boys
13:53
another news van over there this mimi's
13:53
cafe
13:55
says that it's open as well from 8 am
13:58
to 8 pm over the top of the freeway here
14:02
you can look in and you can see just how
14:05
much they have
14:06
accomplished on mickey and minnie
14:10
railway over there the sheer magnitude
14:14
and size of
14:15
that building it's very impressive
14:22
it stretches more or less the entire
14:22
length of toontown
14:24
look at that thing after going on it you
14:28
know
14:29
at least a couple dozen times
14:32
since it opened in florida i am happy
14:34
that it's going to be appearing here on
14:36
the west coast
14:49
as i pan out i must say it is very nice
14:49
to see
14:50
some mountains again over there in the
14:52
distance because florida
14:54
not so mountainy it's good to see some
14:57
hills and some terrain
15:41
you can see the spires from galaxy's
15:41
edge up here
15:43
amazing to think that just over the back
15:46
side of that building
15:47
is millennium falcon
15:57
smugglers run rise
15:57
up there in the bigger building
16:13
even just parking in the structure again
16:13
it's gonna be quite a feeling it's the
16:16
little things right
16:18
and on the tram route they still have
16:20
the benches
16:23
and the trash cans have been covered
16:27
if you look down there you can still see
16:28
how they have the benches all still
16:31
still set up and there's a washboard
16:33
sign still down there
16:45
everyone got their hopes up and excited
16:45
including me
16:47
when they saw some of these items placed
16:50
about three or four months ago
16:53
nothing ever came to fruition out of it
16:56
but they're still here
16:58
even in the 2021 and the parks are
17:01
not reopened yet
17:11
but they will at some point gotta be
17:11
patient
17:12
i'm about to go under downtown disney
17:15
now
17:16
truth see the store up there with the
17:17
dragon and right above me
17:20
is where the guest walk for downtown
17:21
disney there's a road that goes
17:23
directly underneath it and there's the
17:25
monorail platform
17:27
certainly will be nice to see my
17:29
favorite transportation devices
17:32
cruising along that beam again one day
17:36
as well as some of the on-site hotels
17:39
grand california paradise pier hotel
17:44
still closed at the moment big
17:48
hidden mickey ear globe from the sky
17:51

17:56
