0:03 welcome everyone out of the whoo here I
0:03 have returned to Central Florida behind
0:07 me and over that shoulder is Epcot's
0:10 parking lot formerly Epcot Center and
0:14 now they have capitalized all the
0:16 letters once again taking it back semi
0:18 old-school and check out some
0:20 construction updates as well as what is
0:23 new here on property we are into 2020
0:28 I'm inviting you to join me shall you
0:30 they stay behind that yellow line hooks
0:33 the tram is right behind me
0:35 they're more dirty please live or
0:37 boarding and everyone on board sit back
0:41 and hold tight driver we are clear to
0:44 dispatch and we definitely faster to
0:46 walk if you want to watch the trailer
0:49 even let me know it's faster to walk but
0:52 I figured it'd be fun to take the tram
0:53 let's go up loop around me normally
1:08 not too busy yet judging by the amount
1:08 of cars in a lot
1:30 we're loads of
1:36 oh wow security is over here now that's
1:39 where you go through and get your bags
1:40 checked in just a few months I've been
1:41 gone there have been a lot of changes
1:43 here a lot of changes well I guess more
1:45 like two months I've been gone but still
1:47 have the Pass Holder line this is a
1:49 little different you cannot walk
1:51 directly in front of spaceship earth it
1:53 is completely blocked off it's almost as
1:55 if leave a legacy never existed at this
1:58 point erased current guide map is as
2:03 follows I have it lined up almost had it
2:05 lined up perfectly this must be a new
2:07 slogan the world awaits Here I am
2:09 certainly looking forward to the
2:11 revamped fountain that will be where I'm
2:13 currently standing and this is a view I
2:16 never get tired of first things first I
2:19 need to stop in that store to the right
2:20 and get a new Magic Band I forgot mine
2:22 there's some cast members down here
2:24 directly have some directional arrow I
2:26 was letting you go either to the left or
2:29 to the right never in all my years have
2:34 I not been able to meander over that
2:37 direction that is a sight to behold went
2:42 with the figment option but there was a
2:44 problem linking it to my past so got a
2:47 step into guest services real quick got
2:49 the band issue rectified the people that
2:51 are flowing out are coming out from the
2:54 attraction this angle looks different
2:56 with the exception of a character
2:58 meet-and-greet up in this section
2:59 there's not really a whole lot going on
3:01 this cast members they are alerting the
3:03 guests has to be go to be rerouted
3:06 around the other two directions which is
3:08 kind of exciting because over here used
3:10 to be a backstage area now it is a guest
3:14 region
3:22 move that thing I will be taking this
3:22 path you see before me that I've never
3:24 seen nor documented prior and by the way
3:28 there goes the mono
3:41 bring on a breath on that one wasn't
3:41 ready for it wasn't ready for that long
3:43 winded incredible is so there goes that
3:48 the traffic and jam inators uncharted
3:52 territory to say the least I've never
3:57 been back here at least in this
3:59 particular area and along the sections
4:02 are promotions for some of the
4:03 attractions in this area like journey to
4:05 imagination and the Living Seas plenty
4:08 of things up their sleeves I would say
4:11 the future here is going to be a
4:12 fantastic one oh the janitors I said
4:24 terminators I work too
6:32 just to give some perspective on what
6:32 you're looking at on the left there that
6:33 dismantled building is where club cool
6:36 used to be referred to as the party zone
6:39 where you could get beverages of the you
6:42 know coca-cola from around the world and
6:45 different tastes for free little sample
6:47 cups and that has been removed as well
6:50 as in the center was the the larger
6:52 fountain on this opposite side there's
6:54 one but still going to remain on the
6:56 front side entrance of spaceship earth
6:58 but on this back portion it is going
7:02 away and pretty much looks like it has
7:04 already gone away there's also a stage
7:07 there and electric umbrella is off there
7:10 in the distance kinda to the right even
7:12 though that building is gonna stick
7:14 around the restaurant is not and then to
7:17 the far right Mouse Kearse has been
7:20 temporarily moved and will be getting a
7:22 huge revamp this entire portion is going
7:27 to definitely considerably look
7:29 different in a year or two or maybe even
7:32 sooner good things to come moving into
7:36 frame very slowly
7:48 Rahman
7:49 and swooping past that iconic spaceship
7:55 earth it's almost like a little piece of
7:58 my 80s heart has
8:06 disappeared I am excited about what's to
8:06 come
8:07 it's very unusual looking at the stuff
8:10 got to be honest this as I stare at it
8:13 kind of hard to wrap my head around this
8:16 and even this little he's in this little
8:19 path it's kind of messing with my head a
8:23 little bit
8:43 even the start of the huge logo here on
8:43 the ground is obscured you can see kind
8:47 of where it begins and then goes
8:49 completely into that courtyard for now
8:51 that's it's also covered now on the side
8:54 near test track where a lots taking
8:57 place over here as well you know kind of
8:59 over to the left of what I'm looking at
9:01 the facilities on this side are also
9:03 being revamped and some topiaries have
9:06 been placed down there the entryway into
9:08 what will be once again mouse gears its
9:11 temporary home straight ahead there you
9:13 can even see they placed a sign up
9:16 towards the top for now that's where
9:19 it's gonna be located usually a bustling
9:21 thoroughfare through this but you can
9:23 see that with the land pavilion kind of
9:25 peeking up there temporary detour for
9:27 now just for now you are your old school
9:30 what do you think about all the changes
9:32 this taking place that's great
9:33 you like you happy you happy we're
9:35 seeing some some TLC brought back it's
9:38 about to the old Epcot Center it's about
9:41 time we just really shippers awesome
9:43 it's gonna be down for about two years I
9:45 think when didn't have they announce the
9:46 date when it's going down May 20 2010
9:50 dub met May 26 alright heard of here
9:52 guardians of the galaxy coming soon here
9:56 not normal to see guests walking through
9:58 here either or either is it either or
10:01 either one of the two it's not it's not
10:02 what I'm used to seeing normal wonders
10:05 of life of ilium which will be turning
10:06 into the play pavilion is obscuring the
10:09 view of the new ride section where the
10:12 coaster for guardians will be behind it
10:14 space themed restaurant will also be
10:17 taking place and it's going to be
10:18 located right back in there you can see
10:21 where the pathway was and will be again
10:23 it's interesting that Ellen's energy
10:24 adventure is gone but this tree still
10:27 stands strong in fact there's a play
10:30 pavilion advertisement right there as
10:32 the monorail goes by
10:34 that's where it's gonna be I don't know
10:36 if anyone really knows for sure but is
10:38 Cherry Tree Lane the Mary Poppins
10:40 overlay going to end up back in this
10:42 exact section for example will the
10:45 gazebo go away in this courtyard be
10:47 utilized or where they just overlay that
10:49 section or will even be back here at all
10:51 I don't know later this year should be
10:54 out of meander through here back into
10:56 ratatouille definitely something to look
10:58 forward to right right through there if
11:00 you look over to the right as I pan
11:01 across the lagoon you can see the
11:04 building painted that baby light blue
11:06 blending in with the sky from guardians

12:32 nice little bird's-eye by boarding one

13:11 wait is proportioned I'll be a little
13:13 heavier on my end there's no one in
13:17 these seats
13:24 I think we'll be okay thanks him the
13:24 whole reason we got on this was just to

13:42 skin like that
13:43 what's the condole is that at DCA now

13:51 moves like you reach across hold hands
13:54 and sway it they don't want you doing
13:56 that no lean it's like they lock arms
14:00 and then Oh what was that a little bit
14:04 of a bump now she doesn't bother me at
14:06 all some people get a little frightened
14:08 on these but I really enjoyed this like
