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

right over there
14:40

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
