0:02 today's adventure begins by look getting
0:02 a last glance
0:04 at the mickey power pole this will be my
0:06 last disney theme park visit
0:08 before heading to southern california in
0:10 a few days i have a reservation for
0:13 epcot center it's currently 5 p.m on
0:16 saturday
0:17 june 26 2021
0:20 and yes at some point when i get back to
0:22 socal we'll
0:23 be going to disneyland it will not be
0:25 immediately not with not as soon as i
0:27 land
0:28 probably a week or so after that it'd be
0:30 a little
0:31 strange and unusual not being a wdw i've
0:34 been out here since
0:36 just after early february
0:39 it still is a little difficult to get a
0:41 reservation but i did manage want to
0:44 procure one
0:45 also this will be my last stop into
0:48 flower and garden festival that
0:51 particular festival ends
0:52 on july 5th
0:55 this is my last flower and garden stop
0:57 in of 21.
1:00 it would be nice as a little surprise
1:03 if the epcot loop monorail went by
1:06 highly doubtful that will happen and
1:08 it's starting to sprinkle
1:10 i think i brought my umbrella
1:16 welcome everyone adam the woo here i
1:16 would imagine
1:17 upon my return whatever that is a couple
1:20 months from now
1:21 really kind of up in the air we'll be
1:24 spending quite a bit of time on the west
1:25 coast
1:26 when i return i will not be able to just
1:28 trot across this little tramway the
1:30 trams
1:31 most likely will be back as well as
1:34 that monorail i'm just gonna put that
1:37 into the universe
1:40 heading into epcot inviting you to join
1:42 me for a last visit to wdw
1:45 for a while shall you and the
1:48 interesting thing is
1:49 this little roundabout up here the
1:51 construction was finished on that
1:53 and it hasn't even been utilized for
1:54 what it was built for
1:56 because those trams for the monorail
2:00 have not been quite operational
2:03 since reopenings a year ago it was early
2:06 july
2:07 of 2020 it's been almost a year that
2:09 disney world's been back reopened
2:11 isn't that wild and i just realized it's
2:13 currently 5 30
2:14 the dvc lounge closes six by the way
2:18 we got greg here oh hey from adventures
2:20 by george greg's game room how's it
2:22 going we should go up in the the lounge
2:24 is it still open it's open until six so
2:26 we got a half hour
2:27 all right let's go let's go let's go i
2:29 can't wait i've been up there in ages
2:30 all right
2:31 let's go we could take the monorail oh
2:33 wait we can't take it off no monorail
2:36 also before walking up there just
2:37 getting a look look here at the the
2:39 empty beam as well
2:41 and the lounge showed this before but
2:43 you know it's always like to reiterate
2:45 it because it's always nice to just go
2:46 up there and
2:48 get yourself a coca-cola freestyle i
2:50 would go with a mr pibb
2:52 greg and i were discussing how epcot
2:53 really is not the same
2:55 without seeing that beautiful
2:57 transportation device
2:58 going by seeing the monorail cruising
3:01 around this beam
3:02 i think partially the reason they're
3:04 doing that is because park hopping
3:07 well annual passes right now unless you
3:09 already were kind of grandfathered in
3:10 you cannot purchase an annual pass once
3:12 that comes back and capacity hits 100
3:14 percent
3:15 and people are park hopping a lot more
3:17 it will be more necessary
3:19 as a transportation device that they
3:21 might not want everyone peeking over
3:22 that wall
3:23 to see some of the construction that's
3:24 taking place as well is that what you
3:26 think maybe it is
3:28 they don't want people looking down into
3:29 the construction yeah that's gotta be
3:31 cause that's immediately what you said
3:32 yeah i can't wait for the monorail to
3:34 come back so i can see what's going on
3:35 down in there
3:36 heck yeah
3:43 you know i'm excited because i have not
3:44 been up there since it was image works
3:45 you you have not been up here since it
3:47 was the dvc lounge no not since it's
3:49 been
3:49 you've never been up there for the
3:50 lounge no so you were up there back when
3:52 the rainbow tunnel was still
3:54 yeah still happening i spent all so much
3:57 time up there all right let's get let's
3:58 go up there i didn't realize that you
3:59 have not been
4:00 up there and so what you do is you go
4:01 around the side here
4:03 through the gift shop and you check in
4:04 at the booth they give you a return time
4:06 or they just let you go right up since
4:08 it's almost
4:08 20 minutes till it closes they're
4:10 probably going to let us ride in and the
4:11 elevator is disguised by these
4:13 well they're banners more or less you're
4:16 getting some nostalgic vibes right now
4:18 i always get nostalgic vibes when i walk
4:20 up here to the top of the pyramid they
4:22 used to be able to walk into image works
4:24 right through here they've enclosed it
4:25 in they put this box over where the
4:27 escalator used to be
4:28 have a pretty good view over there on
4:29 spaceship earth they gave us a high top
4:32 table
4:32 right here so we are we're now part of
4:34 the the high top
4:36 club as opposed to the tip of the hat
4:39 as opposed to the couch club over there
4:42 and then over on that corner kind of
4:45 over there was where the the rainbow
4:46 tunnel was over there through through
4:48 that door through that little
4:49 corridor more or less like over kind of
4:52 over in that area
4:53 until club pool reopens well whenever
4:56 that will be another year or so
4:57 this is really the only time we can get
4:58 anything regular a coke or a diet coke
5:01 more or less so cheers at the bottom oh
5:04 yeah bottom shears
5:05 mr pibb can't get mr pip anywhere in the
5:08 park so we can't shout party zone in
5:10 here
5:10 there's no yelling in here finished our
5:12 beverages and now gonna head back down
5:14 into future world and just kind of
5:17 meander around maybe go over to living
5:19 with the land next
5:20 looks as if the dancing water is back
5:22 see how the water just dances between
5:24 this was not working for quite a while
5:26 but the dancing water
5:27 has returned see how it jumps from one
5:30 to the other
5:31 and oh look at that so slowly but surely
5:34 things are going back to how they
5:36 they used to be the dancing water has
5:38 returned
5:40 and just to give the bearings on where i
5:41 am i was right up there looking down
5:44 just a little bit ago and now i'm over
5:46 at the oop that was a real good
5:47 that was a really good dance to know the
5:49 one everyone always really wants to see
5:51 is this one here
5:52 that jumps right here and we'll jump
5:54 over your head
5:56 from this right here okay at any moment
5:57 there's gonna be one leaping into here
5:59 okay it's gonna
6:00 it's going up yep that and there it is
6:02 it is kind of fun just try to try to
6:04 guess which way the
6:05 the jumping water is going to go okay
6:06 into that one and then up and over nope
6:08 it's not going over let's just
6:09 okay go go there it is see up and over
6:12 here it is
6:14 fooled you here it comes oh
6:20 even on a saturday at 6 15 p.m
6:23 living with the land boat ride only a
6:25 five-minute wait
6:27 don't mind if i do and even though oh
6:29 that's kind of a flickering five right
6:30 there but i
6:31 also have to be curious about when
6:34 they're going to remove the plexi glass
6:36 through this as well and i'm going to
6:38 say they probably removed
6:40 the little partitions on the boat as
6:42 well what do you think what are the odds
6:43 if you were if you're a betting man
6:45 i'm going to bet 100 so i'm looking at
6:47 it right now you gave it away you gave a
6:49 spoiler
6:51 one thing is for sure it's a lot easier
6:53 to film
6:54 looking forward without
6:58 any of the little plastic partitions
7:02 i'm in the back rub and i can see
7:06 clearly right through the front of the
7:07 boat
7:15 see the parrots up there from paris up
7:15 there
7:15 we got some monkeys over here got some
7:17 alligators right over here the waterfall
7:19 behind me
7:20 and the restaurant up top the circle
7:23 restaurant
7:24 where you can eat a meal and look down
7:25 upon the rainforest if you so choose
7:28 pretty neat oh it's getting dry though
7:32 we're heading into the desert next
7:34 rainforest to the desert
7:40 always good to see the buffalo and their
7:40 mighty hooves the hooves of the mighty
7:43 buffalo
7:44 and a peanut butter tree peanut butter
7:47 tree
7:47 edible fruit there's peanut butter on
7:50 that tree next to the leaf pepper
7:52 and miracle fruit check it out it says
7:55 miracle
7:55 fruit right here straight ahead yeah
7:58 it's really nice not having
8:00 the plastic dividers here anymore you
8:02 can really see a lot better from the
8:03 back of the boat
8:05 look at that shrimp up there there's a
8:07 bunch of shrimp in here
8:10 oh there's another shrimp right over
8:12 there and another shrimp right down
8:14 see you later shrimps now as tempting as
8:17 it might be
8:18 if you see a cucumber you do not want to
8:20 hop out of the boat
8:21 and look and try to grab a cucumber stay
8:24 in the boat
8:25 and there's the cucumbers right there
8:26 passing by the cucumbers
8:29 nothing like a boat ride to work up
8:31 quite an appetite
8:32 i'm gonna go by while i have mobile
8:34 ordered and then i will go by
8:36 and get my food from sunshine seasons
8:39 right here inside the the land pavilion
8:43 i was just alerted i felt the
8:44 notification on my phone
8:46 i think my food is ready that was quick
8:48 i'm also just noticing in here they have
8:50 these
8:50 penny crushing machines where you can
8:54 get the collectible pennies
8:56 and there is the land logo right there
8:59 the epcot land logo and there's mickey
9:01 doing a little planting
9:03 as well as up donald's being very lazy
9:05 still have mobile pickup in order
9:08 and i am over at number two i got quite
9:11 a few items it looks like a lot but it's
9:13 just a bunch of little sides
9:15 of pasta salad well let's be honest it
9:17 is a lot pasta salad
9:19 mac and cheese and a couple of waters
9:25 yeah this is a lot i didn't realize how
9:25 much i ordered but i ordered a lot
9:27 i realized there was a bit of a mistake
9:28 they i only ordered two
9:30 and they gave me three sides so there
9:33 should have only been
9:34 this so i ordered a mac and cheese with
9:37 an
9:37 extra one of the the salads here the
9:40 pasta salads
9:41 and i ordered that for one reason they
9:43 ended up giving me a couple of extras
9:45 unless it cut you know
9:46 no i did order this because instead of
9:48 getting the gogurt squeeze
9:50 i opted for this it's a pretty good deal
9:52 you can get the mac and cheese
9:54 and they they give you the option to get
9:55 into gogurt squeeze and then i got with
9:57 uh i guess the water
9:59 as well so yeah i got a lot of sides
10:01 because i really like the everything
10:02 like this here
10:03 what'd you end up getting i just got
10:05 your basic cheeseburger but i'm
10:06 surprised that they put the tomato and
10:08 lettuce in a separate container that's
10:09 that's kind of interesting are you
10:10 surprised by that yeah i am why
10:13 you know because i love lettuce and
10:14 tomato why did they just put it straight
10:16 on the hamburger for me
10:17 because maybe some people don't enjoy
10:20 no no everybody enjoys tomato come on
10:23 we're in the land
10:24 you gotta you gotta love not everyone
10:26 enjoys tomatoes
10:27 how dare they are you a mustard or are
10:30 you a ketchup guy
10:31 mustard wait mustard ketchup mayo
10:35 do the mixture i'll do it all we're
10:36 going full-on would you like to try a
10:38 pasta salad i have a lot i would love to
10:40 take one of these you can have that
10:42 thank you that's yours
10:46 just to kind of show my mindset here
10:48 it's 6.99 for the mac and cheese
10:50 so i did a quantity of two but instead
10:53 of going with the
10:54 go-go squeeze i clicked on another pasta
10:58 salad
10:59 and then i scrolled down and you get a
11:00 second side
11:02 i opted for pasta salad so i went pasta
11:04 salad pasta salad
11:06 so you got mac n cheese pasta salad
11:09 pasta salad
11:10 and i ordered dasani water all for 6.99
11:14 so keep in mind disney themed park
11:16 prices this was 6.99
11:18 one mac and cheese two pasta salads and
11:20 a water
11:22 i think that's a pretty decent deal is
11:23 that one of those disney hacks
11:26 is that a disney hack disney yeah that
11:28 right there is a work of art
11:30 look at that and i haven't even put the
11:32 lettuce on yet oh you put the lettuce on
11:34 they put the lettuce on for you gotta
11:35 cover that up yeah
11:36 man i really like the way it circled
11:38 around with the ketchup well i'll circle
11:40 around with some mustard you're gonna do
11:42 a double up
11:43 double layer yeah here we go look at
11:46 that
11:47 you take hamburgering seriously
11:50 not ham burglaring because you're not a
11:52 mcdonald's character so that every bite
11:54 has a little bit of both you have to you
11:57 have to it's a rule
12:01 well done no i'm talking about the
12:05 burger
12:07 okay that's a little unusual i'm seeing
12:09 the friendship boat way over there
12:11 heading from morocco when usually the
12:14 french
12:15 shrimp the friend ship boat is right
12:19 here this is where the dock is
12:20 where the heck is the friendship boat
12:22 going i want to know where the
12:23 friendship boat is going
12:24 what the heck i want to get on the
12:26 friend shrimp boat it's a french shrimp
12:28 boat okay let's go find out where that
12:30 friendship boat's going that i want to
12:31 get on that and it's crow hour look at
12:33 all these crows flying over as we have
12:35 disneyland has crow hour
12:37 epcot center does as well hitchcock
12:40 would be proud all right i am
12:42 misinformed i am incorrect the
12:44 friendship boat is not stopping at this
12:45 dock also i want to get on the
12:47 friendship boat hello
12:49 how do i get on the friendship boat
12:51 where do i get on
12:53 i don't know where i get on the
12:55 friendship boat ah okay it says 7 15 is
12:58 the last boat it is 7 37
13:00 maybe that explains it so i think we're
13:01 going to be getting on the friendship
13:03 boats got a little bit more information
13:04 from the cast member on the boat the
13:06 boat captain said that they did
13:07 something special for the last guests
13:09 leaving from morocco and heading back
13:11 over to this section
13:12 and that is it for the night so if you
13:14 were on the last boat at 7 or 7
13:16 20 or 7 30 one from this side left at 7
13:19 15.
13:20 takes five minutes to go over there so
13:21 the last boat of like 7 30 coming back
13:23 across this way
13:24 got a special view of the harmonious
13:27 barges and everything
13:28 and i'm kind of kind of disappointed i

14:39 right over there
14:40 letting up are you ready to rock
14:43 getting a nice little view here of the
14:44 miniature trains this was going to go
14:46 underneath the walkway
14:47 where i could walk above it or i could
14:49 just kind of go over to the side here
14:51 and see as it pulls through
14:52 the miniature train making its way
14:54 around oh we're going to get a crossing
14:56 of a few different trains
14:58 three trains in the same angle look at
15:01 that is how it's done right there under
15:03 the beauty of nighttime
15:05 i love it some of these bags usually
15:06 every time i'm in here i get a bag or
15:08 two
15:08 and then i just take them back to either
15:10 of my homesteads and keep them on the
15:12 kitchen counter whenever i'm in the in
15:13 the mood for some worthers

15:59 few days
16:34 oh
16:48 go go go go go go go
16:48 go go
17:19 oh my lord i would like to say 88. i
17:19 know
17:20 i feel like we're doing 100. yes it will
17:23 be a glorious moment when that monorail
17:26 is just kind of heading down the beam
17:28 taking the loop from here
17:30 up and over it goes around
17:33 future world four world showcase
17:36 goes around spaceship earth drops off
17:39 guests picks up new guests
17:41 and continues that way over to ttc
17:44 if you had to guess when you think that
17:45 what happened when do you think the
17:46 monorail will be back
17:47 oh my gosh um three months
17:51 three months so right now three months
17:53 right now it is the end of june
17:56 right yeah into june so you're thinking
17:58 july august september
18:00 it's got to be back before the 50th
18:01 which is october 1st so you're probably
18:03 right yeah
18:04 just three months so yeah that's that's
18:06 cutting it close i can't wait
18:07 you'll be going on and i'll be back
18:10 before the first of october probably end
18:12 of september i'll be back here if not
18:13 before
18:14 i don't really know what i'm doing but i
18:15 might come back before then
18:17 are you looking for the monorail correct
18:19 i'm still looking for it you're still
18:20 looking up there been looking forward
18:21 this whole night
18:24 what about the trams you want to take uh
18:26 you want to take a guess at the trams
18:28 coming back only if i'm at the end of
18:30 the parking lot
18:32 i hardly ever take the tram but now when
18:34 the trams come back i will take the tram
18:36 back
18:38 whenever that is i think the trams will
18:40 come back before the monorail for sure
18:42 think so for sure yeah you're putting it
18:44 out into the universe
18:46 all right and that's going to do it for
18:48 today and
18:49 that's going to do it for a lot of days
