the course of the week
0:13
i'm back and check that out
0:17
the hot air balloon air is up currently
0:20
at the moment
0:21
sky high looks as if it's swaying quite
0:24
a bit up there however
0:27
just heading into the parking structure
0:29
now
0:30
at disney springs welcome everyone
0:33
adam the woo here equipped with my magic
0:36
band which will be
0:38
which will you know come in useful
0:40
during the tenure of my stay i could not
0:42
get
0:43
a reservation for any of the parks today
0:46
but that problem is solved throughout
0:50
the rest of my visit
0:51
here to central florida first time in
0:54
years
0:55
during october during halloween time
0:58
i have been here to wdw usually it is a
1:02
beehive of activity
1:03
out in southern california but
1:05
disneyland is closed
1:07
universal is closed not doing a food
1:09
festival but there is no scary farm so i
1:12
said heck it
1:19
florida time i'm inviting you to join me
1:19
for at least a week maybe maybe a couple
1:22
days
1:22
long i haven't really decided how long
1:24
i'm going to be here but at least a week
1:26
it's happening and i have my appropriate
1:30
t-shirt i should probably take my the
1:32
seat belt off but i still got it on
1:39
inviting you to join me shall you
1:39
doesn't appear to be any guests
1:40
up there that thing is really moving in
1:43
the breeze
1:43
i was here in july for the re-openings
1:48
of the parks and i pointed out how this
1:50
looks like almost looks like the back to
1:52
the future
1:53
font just a few months later
1:56
i've returned
2:01
still looks the same how this veers
2:01
around the setup they have
2:03
you go over here to the screening
2:06
section
2:09
i'll let you know what it ends up being
2:10
you can ask
2:12
and i'll show you the mechanism oh yeah
2:15
minnie
2:15
is following the guidelines also
2:18
i should note most of december i'm out
2:21
here
2:22
and i've stayed in october it's a rarity
2:36
98.3 says fall into magic and there's a
2:36
that 98.3 was what it was if you know me
2:39
you know that my luck with
2:41
boarding this is very v it's always not
2:43
the best i thought since
2:45
there are guests up on it i noticed that
2:47
i would go to the ticket booth and they
2:48
said
2:48
high winds are now rolling in this is
2:50
the last ride
2:52
for a while so not even any luck on this
2:54
so it won't be going up
2:56
when we go over up in the balloon dang
2:59
i thought it would happen just just
3:01
randomly but
3:03
nope high winds i think it's cruising
3:06
around the back it seems to be pretty
3:07
stable at the moment but
3:09
as you can see down below here they're
3:12
starting to move their way in to
3:14
clamp oh yeah the other winds the winds
3:15
gusting
3:17
look at that see how it's just
3:21
going to and fro
3:26
one day balloon i did this years and
3:26
years ago the last couple times when
3:28
even when i was here in july all day i
3:31
went like
3:32
10 or 12 hours waiting and the
3:33
rainstorms were so up there's a
3:36
bird going by all right carrying on
3:39
and i'm not saying it's cool by any
3:41
means but the temperature is a little
3:44
more tolerable than it was summer time
3:46
by
3:47
a long shot of course i'm in the shade
3:48
but just seems to be a little
3:50
a little bit more less humidity let a
3:53
little less humidity in the air
3:54
decided to start at this end of springs
3:56
and work my way towards the other
3:58
direction
3:59
at the base of this construction area
4:01
against the wall says
4:02
if you scan this qr code there's a
4:04
haunted mansion experience
4:05
starting on the 23rd online it is
4:07
incredible how much magnitude of this
4:09
compared to downtown disney and anaheim
4:11
currently a sunday around 11am it really
4:14
isn't too busy i am fairly confident all
4:16
that will change though as the
4:17
day progresses just look for the dragon
4:20
and next to it
4:21
is worlds of disney
4:25
entrance is right here wonder if there's
4:27
a virtual cue or if it's just to walk in
4:29
okay this is a little different it has
4:31
it routed all the way around this side
4:34
the fountain the topiary and the
4:36
fountain over there
4:37
was not like this last time but you just
4:40
kind of follow the stanchions and
4:42
oh yeah this is this is the cube even
4:44
though it looks very lengthy the cast
4:46
member said it's only about a 10 minute
4:47
wait it moves quick
4:48
and i wasn't sure i believed it but to
4:49
be pretty honest it's moving quickly
4:51
however the sign says no stopping on
4:52
pavement are we breaking the rules
4:54
some sort of light item here also they
4:57
were cones that i think would go around
5:00
the side of the building
5:01
loop all the way way over there this is
5:03
kind of lengthy but like i said it is
5:05
moving
5:05
very briskly and there's topiary mickey
5:09
with his water jug
5:10
just pouring out the h2o into that other
5:13
bucket
5:14
hello there topiary mickey it wasn't 10
5:16
minutes but i'd say it's probably only
5:18
been about maybe
5:19
12 to 15 from here so at
5:22
most 15 to 20 tops move fast
5:25
remember when i gave this the statement
5:27
of the time frame of how it wasn't too
5:29
busy
5:31
that is the line of vehicles there
5:34
going into the garage yep
5:38
they're arriving never in all my years
5:40
have i gone through this entrance
5:42
back here and over in this corner says
5:45
give me candy and it says
5:46
boo from the roof and a large
5:48
jack-o-lantern oh whoa are these new
5:50
haunted man i've never seen these
5:51
haunted mansion shirts the foolish
5:53
mortals and over here with the
5:55
the crest or the the plaque these
5:57
villain shirts are great too and
5:59
maleficent here on uh on a hooded
6:01
sweatshirt nice
6:02
an assortment of mugs with the face
6:04
there as well as these apples and
6:07
throw blankets
6:10
and on the ground they have the arrows
6:21
never owned a pair of crocs but this
6:22
would be good for the season
6:24
for sure oh and lots of plushies over
6:26
there oh
6:28
man so retro that is awesome classic
6:32
they got a lot of new arrivals that are
6:35
very
6:36
very like throwback editions sorcerer
6:38
capture
6:39
36 i have a blue monorail towel that i
6:42
procured from
6:43
the anaheim world of disney except
6:46
they i heard that they had a different
6:48
color scheme here
6:50
but i'm not seeing any monorail towels
6:53
as well
6:53
anywhere so if they have them they are
6:55
either sold out or
6:57
the the rumor was untrue i just talked
7:00
to a cast member when i asked they kind
7:02
of looked at me with a little confusion
7:03
as if a monorail towel doesn't exist but
7:06
i know it does at least
7:07
at least on the west coast they do also
7:10
have individual stickers of the villains
7:12
oh yes they have monopoly in stock here
7:15
for 49 not one of these days i'm going
7:16
to get appears as if you don't just have
7:18
to get disney springs
7:20
reusable bags they're a dollar each they
7:22
do have the springs one
7:23
but also wdw as well as magic kingdom
7:27
and
7:27
others have a little cakester there and
7:30
i'm seeing there's also one here on the
7:31
side of this looks like a monorail
7:32
except i'm not seeing it
7:34
it's only the imprint on the side of the
7:36
the towel but not
7:37
an actual real life version i would i
7:40
would purchase one of those monorail
7:42
cake stirrers could use it for other i
7:44
don't make a lot of cakes but
7:46
i'd start if i had a monorail cake
7:47
stirrer all right that was a fun little
7:49
venture in there now continuing to
7:51
meander around even more
8:06
take a look at that there are now magic
8:06
band slap bracelets and traditional
8:09
style we got
8:10
uh haunted mansion version here as well
8:12
that's new
8:14
oh you're he's leaning forward you're
8:17
leaning forward
8:18
uh yeah i i'm trying to remember what
8:20
you told me last time to
8:22
kind of take a step but you want me to
8:24
take a step back just like
8:25
i'm a little too close proximity okay
8:27
i'm just gonna go back maybe like
8:29
let's just say a foot or two how about
8:31
this is this good
8:32
is this a good area you're just you're
8:34
guarding the volcano aren't you
8:37
yeah just just nod your head or smile
8:40
okay yeah so you're that's a yes you're
8:43
guarding the volcano which does not
8:45
appear to be
8:47
igniting in any fashion right now okay
8:50
go
8:50
go back and take your nap continue
8:52
taking your nap it's fine
8:53
i'm just going to carry on all right i'm
8:55
just going to keep walking around
8:56
you know just looking at halloween you
8:59
know
8:59
items that are for sale around the
9:02
property and
9:03
you just you don't care do you you're
9:04
not interested at all
9:06
in the the season of all hallows eve
9:09
you are you're just in your own world
9:12
there
9:12
aren't you mr gator or crocodile it's
9:15
hard to tell the difference
9:16
see ya i have now stepped inside goofy's
9:19
candy company
9:20
where it looks like they have some tasty
9:22
fluffy sugar in the form of cotton candy
9:24
but they have a dumbo there
9:26
and delicious looking caramel apples it
9:29
appears as if he's frozen in
9:31
ice he's frozen solid goofy he's been
9:33
working a little too hard in the cold
9:34
weather
9:35
yeah there really is a good assortment
9:36
of treats i gotta get out of here before
9:38
i'm tempted
9:39
here at starbucks i have a few specials
9:41
a franken frapp and a wolf man and a
9:43
shark attack
9:44
i however am opting just for a regular
9:46
coffee with a vanilla
9:48
additive arguably one of the most famous
9:50
murals at disney springs over there
9:52
seems as if the more clouds are starting
9:54
to roll in now the balloon is still
9:56
stationary that's how it goes eating or
9:58
drinking while stationery
9:59
inside disney style they have like quite
10:02
a bit more retro stuff in here as well
10:04
different
10:05
quite a different plethora when it comes
10:06
to the throwback items as well
10:08
and some haunted mansion gear that i've
10:11
never seen before
10:12
front and back jacket and a nice little
10:13
mural here a little photograph on the
10:15
wall
10:15
it has become kind of a tradition to go
10:17
up on the rooftop of world of coke and
10:19
get a view from up there so that's where
10:21
i'm heading next as i
10:22
go past the fountain this fountain
10:23
wouldn't be classified as a bird's eye
10:26
perspective but you can't get a pretty
10:27
good view from from up here got a few
10:29
stories up
10:30
back in the early 90s i was in this area
10:32
watching the grand opening of planet
10:34
hollywood i think it was 91
10:35
92 maybe 93. it's been a long time ago
10:37
of course this cub world of coke was not
10:39
here meanwhile stationery
10:41
yes they do not comply you'll be asked
10:43
to leave
10:45
your hands often and thoroughly cover
10:47
your mouth and nose when coughing and
10:49
sneezing
10:50
yeah i know i know you weren't expecting
10:52
me to walk back over here but i just i'm
10:53
trying to get my steps in
10:55
yeah you're not going to get your steps
10:56
in you're just going to sit there on
10:57
that rock
10:58
all day you just hang out nothing wrong
11:00
with that either i do find it very
11:02
interesting that on the west coast
11:05
disneyland
11:06
california adventures and heck even
11:08
universal studios knott's berry farm
11:09
even though they're having a food
11:11
festival
11:12
the rides and attractions are not open
11:14
but here
11:15
in florida east coast everything is
11:18
accessible
11:19
i don't really know the the judgment
11:21
call on either one
11:22
or the the back and forth versus the
11:26
you know why it's different out there
11:27
versus here all i know is
11:29
here everything is very prominent very
11:32
open as long as you have these on
11:39
everything will be fine to use a doc
11:39
brown for back in the future
11:41
i had to give a shrug and uh
11:45
i don't know the reasoning behind it but
11:47
all i know is i'm here
11:48
and i'm gonna i'm just gonna soak in the
11:52
sights the sound and the ambiance of
11:54
walt disney world and
11:56
disney property
11:59
so what is that roaring i don't know
12:10
where i was going with that but it
12:11
really is a
12:12
an interesting interesting conundrum
12:16
when it comes to socal
12:19
versus central florida you be the judge
12:22
you do the math i don't
12:25
i don't know what you think anymore
12:27
right yeah
12:29
you you kind of share the same opinion
12:30
too right
12:32
yeah so all you can do is just go with
12:35
the
12:37
it's flow we can do mr crocodile or mrs
12:40
gator
12:41
whichever it's hard to tell this
12:44
i think that might be a crocodile
12:50
you're just going to enjoy the parks
12:50
here and not even worry about anaheim
12:52
for now i know just
12:54
just tell me when they're opening and
12:55
i'll i'll be there
12:57
in southern california i'll be there
13:01
just to embrace and support that opening
13:05
oh you're snoozing again i didn't
13:06
realize i was talking to you and you
13:08
dozed off
13:09
all right i'll see you later i'll be
13:11
back some at some point
13:12
seems as if it's starting to rain that
13:14
might be my cue to head out
13:16
back to the orange garage seems like i
13:19
always
13:20
park at this one if available
13:32
a good rule of thumb is to photograph
13:32
the parking area
13:34
for example l2 right here
13:38
that way you don't you don't either
13:39
forget or have to
13:41
try to wander around to find your car l2
13:45
my rental is down there like four or
13:48
five
13:50
i think four or five down this box goes
13:53
to show how much attention i pay to what
13:56
boy that car is very loud i'm in the
13:58
front goes to show you
13:59
how much how much i'm paying attention
14:01
to which rental i'm driving i'm in the
14:04
first spot
14:05
right here found it as of right now i
14:08
have
14:09
three reservations for later in the week
14:13
after i booked the first one i believe
14:16
if it's like it was back in july you can
14:19
procure another one so after i
14:22
scan in with my magic band or my annual
14:25
pass that i have in my wallet
14:27
then i can get another reservation i
14:29
will continue to do that
14:31
for you know as long as my tenure is
14:34
here i'm guessing probably about a week
14:36
or so just to embrace october
14:39
of 2020. make the best of it
14:43
if i can and you know do magic kingdom
14:46
do hollywood studios
14:48
do epcot and possibly most likely
14:51
animal kingdom also peppered in there
14:54
and just
14:55
kind of showcase what there is to see
14:57
forth this
14:58
season and just have a good time
15:02
as i stated earlier by the the waterfall
15:07
confusion is a plenty not just me with a
15:10
lot of people on why
15:12
florida theme parks are open california
15:16
well not just florida but the majority
15:19
of the rest of the continental united
15:21
states when it comes to rides and
15:22
attractions and theme parks
15:23
are open with regulations which
15:27
are good to have those in place
15:29
california
15:31
even with the precautions
15:34
no rides attractions open no theme parks
15:37
are open other than
15:38
a select few that are having food events
15:40
with a very
15:42
limited amount of places that you can
15:44
see around
15:46
