The Passholder Life Of A Disney Adult - Florida Heat Wave / Pin Trading & Magic Kingdom With No Plan
Disney World July 2025
Transcript
0:03
Welcome everyone. Adam the Woo here as
0:03
the recording of this. It is Wednesday,
0:04
July 30th, 2025. I'm going to be
0:08
stepping out of my homestead here into
0:10
the heatwave that is happening across
0:13
Central Florida. Going to head over to
0:14
Walt Disney World property, maybe the
0:17
resorts, maybe the parks, do some pin
0:20
trading, try to stay cool, try to stay
0:23
out of the elements, but probably will
0:25
fail at that because it is a scorcher
0:28
right now in the summer of 2025.
0:32
Let's see what happens. I'm inviting you
0:33
to join me. Let's do some pen trading.
0:35
Join me, shall we? Into the corridor of
0:39
Goons, which is my little nerd room,
0:41
self-proclaimed nerd room here in my
0:43
house.
0:44
I added another corkboard which let me
0:47
create a little bit more room for my
0:48
pens, but I have a lot of duplicates.
0:52
These are the 15 I think there's 15 here
0:55
pins that I'm going to take and trade
0:56
today. What I'm going to also do is take
0:59
my phone, take a photograph of this,
1:02
take a photograph of this, and take a
1:04
photograph of this. That way when I'm
1:07
trading I know if I do not have a
1:10
certain Genie pen or a certain Haunted
1:13
Mansion pen or a certain Orangebird pen,
1:16
etc. That way I know what I have and
1:19
don't have. It's a good good way to it's
1:22
a good way to look and see what you
1:23
have. Sometimes you forget what's on
1:24
these boards. Yeah, I believe it's
1:26
sitting at a cool crisp 95°
1:30
currently in Celebration. I think the
1:32
foot's flopping around in the breeze
1:34
there. Got the windows down. Think I'm
1:37
going to park over at TTC Transportation
1:39
Ticket Center and walk to some resorts.
1:43
TTC also be referred to as Magic Kingdom
1:47
parking lot, but serves other purposes
1:49
as well. But yeah, MK parking lot. Not
1:52
sure if I'm going to go in Magic
1:53
Kingdom, but I'm parking there. Got 3:15
1:57
95°.
2:10
Tra's going by. I think I'm just going
2:10
to go from here and walk
2:13
over to the Poly Polynesian.
2:22
Prepare thyself for the moving tram.
2:22
I thought it was going to be closer to
2:24
me, but it's over there. You get the
2:26
idea. It's not too busy here at MK
2:28
today. Mostly because of the heat. I
2:30
would imagine on a weekday during the
2:32
heat wave it's not too bad. It's not uh
2:34
not not super busy. Try to stay in the
2:36
shade as much much as possible even if
2:38
it means walking up along this fence
2:40
line here on this welltrodden path.
2:43
Others have the same idea
2:46
cuz standing out there in the elements
2:50
warm.
2:51
Got the pins in a bag zip. I should
2:53
probably get some another type of
2:57
carrying device other than a a cheap
2:59
little plastic zipped bag. But this is
3:03
what I have for today. All 15 of these
3:06
are going to be traded up or traded down
3:08
or traded for ones I need. And I must
3:10
say, I am more of a purchaser than I am
3:13
a trader. Sometimes the ones you trade
3:14
for aren't the best. But if I find any
3:18
that are for sale, you know, in the
3:19
stores also, I'll purchase some ones I
3:22
need. But if I find some that I want to
3:24
trade, these are goners. These are going
3:26
to be gone. Not the strongest breeze
3:29
going on right now. You can see the wind
3:31
up there kind of
3:35
making the Oh, check this. We're going
3:37
to have a little We're going to have a
3:39
little Montreal crossing. Prepare
3:41
thselves.
3:42
There goes the Epcot Loop Montreal. over
3:46
to TTC and say hello yes to the WDW
3:52
arborist cone.
3:55
Here cones
3:57
bypassing this section going underneath
4:00
yet another one
4:02
and cutting through this way over to the
4:05
Polynesian Resort.
4:13
All right, just about made it to the
4:13
main area here at the Polynesian Resort
4:15
before heading into the gift shops and
4:17
checking out the pin trading boards.
4:18
Going to pop into Captain Cooks, get
4:20
myself a piping hot caffeinated
4:22
beverage, a small Joffre, I believe, the
4:25
blend they serve on property still. And
4:27
uh after that, get other hydrating
4:29
materials, but for now, caffeine. All
4:31
right, purchase the cup and get a little
4:33
self pouring here. I got my uh milk and
4:36
a little bit of sugar. I know I've
4:37
gotten a lot of cups of Joe's on
4:39
property when I can tell that the
4:41
consistency of this cup has changed. I
4:43
think the design's kind of similar, but
4:45
it's not as styrofoamy. It's like a
4:47
little more durable than it once was. I
4:49
don't know. I can just tell by holding
4:50
it. I mean, maybe I maybe I'm off base
4:52
with that. But yeah, I feel like maybe
4:54
Walt Lily Well, I don't know. They
4:56
probably wouldn't they probably wouldn't
4:57
know, but yeah, that's that's Walt
4:58
Lillian right there with their the laser
5:00
on their neck. Wow. Looks as if the
5:02
Boutiki has completely redone the front
5:05
of their building. The boutique. I was
5:07
saying that correctly. Not boutique, but
5:09
the boutique. A little too warm to wear
5:12
this. But I love this coat jacket right
5:15
here. Look at the design of that. I love
5:17
that. Kind of surprised, but they have a
5:19
Figment one that I do not have. Look at
5:21
Look at a green Figment right there.
5:23
It's like a green Figma. I do not have
5:24
that one. I just checked my photo. Trade
5:26
for that one. And I ended up giving one
5:28
of my I think it's a pretty decent
5:30
pretty decent Stormtrooper. I think it's
5:31
a pretty decent trade, right?
5:32
Stormtrooper for a Figment. I uh I don't
5:35
know. The stormtrooper I have doubles of
5:37
but I didn't have that figment. So yeah,
5:38
I got did my first trade of the day. See
5:41
what happens the rest of the day. Feel
5:42
like it's not too often to find a really
5:44
rare one. The one I got's kind of just a
5:46
mediocre one, but sometimes there's
5:47
mediocre ones that you don't have. So
5:49
that's the fun of trading. This pin
5:51
board, there's a few Mickey's I don't
5:52
think I have. This one's drawing my
5:53
attention. This little one right here
5:55
where he's pointing his thumb back at
5:56
his chest. I don't I don't know if
5:57
that's like an official one, but that's
5:59
definitely one I haven't seen too often
6:01
and definitely one I don't have. So, I
6:02
might trade for that one and for that
6:04
one there with his arms up with little
6:05
jazz hands. I just found out you're only
6:07
allowed to trade two pins per board. I
6:10
traded some good ones, my Aladdin and
6:12
the other one, and as soon as I traded
6:13
those off, some people behind me got
6:15
those. So, I think I I think I uh
6:17
downgraded a little bit, but I got ones
6:19
that I don't have, and that's all that
6:20
matters. And I traded doubles, which I
6:22
don't need. So, it all worked out. It
6:24
all worked out. But only two pins per
6:26
board per trade. Right. I traded this
6:28
BB-8 for another Cheshire that I don't
6:31
have right there. So, yeah, found
6:32
another board. I haven't stayed here yet
6:34
at the new extension here on the
6:36
Polynesian Resort in the DVC wing, but
6:38
I'm going to pop in and see what they
6:40
got for pins. There were two pin trading
6:41
boards inside there. One was in the
6:43
little restaurant that's attached to the
6:45
new DVC wing of the resort, which I need
6:50
to at some point stay there. And that's
6:52
where I got this one, an angry Mickey
6:56
pin. Look at him with his little claw
6:58
grasp. He's usually don't see Oh. Oh.
7:01
Oh.
7:03
Usually you don't see him in that mood,
7:04
but he's in a mood today. Yeah, really
7:07
nice DVC tower, but I haven't stayed
7:09
here. The other pin board that you have
7:10
to ask for in the front kind of lobby
7:12
check-in area, they brought out from the
7:15
back and didn't have anything that I
7:17
needed, but I I traded for this one.
7:18
Doing good so far. Little moment of
7:20
peacefulness here with these ducks.
7:54
Now, I've already stated this, but being
7:54
in the sun,
7:56
not pleasant. So, got going to go
7:59
inside.
8:00
Go inside
8:02
Grand Fian.
8:14
Holy cow, look at all the construction
8:14
going on in here. And this is usually
8:16
where the check-in desk is right here.
8:19
But they have uprooted all this.
8:21
I believe I heard that they're not going
8:23
to be doing the gingerbread in house
8:24
this Christmas. Usually they put the big
8:26
gingerbread house over here for the
8:28
holidays, Christmas holidays. They're
8:29
not going to do it because of all this.
8:31
It looks like they've added the front
8:32
check-in desk down here to a temporary
8:35
spot right here in a little atrium
8:37
amongst the Grand Fian carpet. Very
8:40
interesting. Big things happening.
8:42
Construction update. I don't see any pin
8:45
boards down there, but I'll check in the
8:46
gift shop in here. See if I can keep
8:48
continue trading. Look at Mickey and
8:50
Minnie in here in their kind of like
8:52
silhouetted out green greenish outfits
8:56
over here. There's also check the pin
8:58
board over here as well. the purchase
9:00
pins. Got a few over here. This one
9:02
says, "I'll be your Mickey." And there's
9:03
also this Mickey here. I'm not even sure
9:05
what that is right there, but I kind of
9:07
like that as well. All right, these are
9:10
the three pins I got. I got Mickey here
9:12
with his glasses on. I got Figma and the
9:15
legend himself, Herb.
9:17
>> And I got no pins.
9:18
>> You got no pins on you. And there's no
9:20
gingerbread house this year, right?
9:22
>> Oh my gosh.
9:22
>> No gingerbread house.
9:23
>> What is he doing?
9:24
>> What are people going to do when they
9:25
don't see her at the gingerbread house?
9:27
>> They'll find me. They'll have to just
9:28
come into the house. Look for her.
9:29
>> Come in the shops. Look for her. Herb
9:31
will be here.
9:31
>> It'll be some pin trade. People are pin
9:33
trading.
9:33
>> That's right. I'm always pin trading,
9:35
but I left mine. So, but I'll get some
9:38
in a minute. So, if you come back, I'll
9:39
have some.
9:41
>> Ah, so good. Running into him.
9:47
Grand Fian
9:48
legend of the holidays. Usually he's
9:49
right down there, but he's not going to
9:51
be down there this year because they are
9:52
not doing the gingerbread house. But
9:54
always good bumping into her.
10:13
I could use something some hydra
10:13
something hydrating
10:16
I think during the holidays like let's
10:18
say in December or maybe even late
10:19
November December pop back in see what's
10:22
going on in here. He says he wasn't sure
10:24
if they're going to be selling the
10:26
products some at in the in the area.
10:29
They're not going to have the
10:29
gingerbread house, but they might still
10:31
have some of the merchandise and things
10:32
like that. Some of the different breads
10:34
and the the gingerbread product. So,
10:37
let's stop back in and see. I got a
10:38
little little photo there.
10:49
The Magic Kingdom Walkway is open from 1
10:49
hour before park opening until 1 hour
10:52
after park closing.
10:55
Love this little peaceful stroll.
10:58
I think I am going to hop in MK and just
11:01
see what kind of pens they have and then
11:02
I'll continue walking and head over to
11:06
Contemporary Resort as well. Hit all
11:08
three of the resorts here upon the loop.
11:16
It's a little overcast. Not overcast,
11:16
but definitely not overcast. What I
11:19
meant to say is there is a cloud
11:21
covering the sun at this particular
11:22
moment.
11:25
And it's nice.
11:27
Well, I guess the sun is overcast, but
11:29
the rest of the sky is not, just the
11:30
sun.
11:32
Check out the Montreal stopped up here
11:33
for traffic clearance.
11:47
It's kind of crawling along and then
11:47
stopped directly above me.
12:06
Oh, starting to move again.
12:06
Traffic clearance
12:08
over. Well, granted.
12:26
Also, if you look really closely in the
12:26
center of the screen, the river boats
12:28
back there. Kind of hard to see it there
12:30
because you got the electric light
12:33
parade for the water parade. But they're
12:35
way back there. That's the river boat,
12:38
the Liberty Bell.
12:41
Not on the Rivers of America anymore.
12:42
Just just sitting back there on this
12:44
little canal
12:47
right here on Seven Seas Lagoon along
12:49
the walkway. There's a little better
12:51
view of it right there. Took a photo.
13:00
It's way back there, but yeah, still
13:00
exists. Don't know what they're going to
13:01
do with it, but it's just sitting
13:04
sitting along the canal, right along the
13:06
walkway.
13:18
Also, what's this cast member doing over
13:18
here? His little tent set up.
13:25
I've never seen that before. cast member
13:25
with a some shade. Little umbrella there
13:27
above
13:29
doing something.
13:32
Never have I ever seen a cast member in
13:35
this spot before. Right here along the
14:08
Nice of a crossing of the Montreals.
14:08
Montreal red. And then on the other side
14:10
of the platform, on the other side of
14:11
the beams,
14:14
Montreal line green.
14:39
I'm going to guess the park is probably
14:39
not very busy. I mean, there's hardly
14:40
anybody waiting for the boat here to go
14:42
over to the resorts.
15:06
into the Magic Kingdom and head back to
15:06
Frontier Land to the Frontier Trading
15:08
Post. See what I can get as far as pens
15:12
go. Might be able to trade some in
15:14
there. If not, I might be able to see if
15:15
there's any that I need that I can
15:16
purchase. I'm in a trading and
15:19
purchasing pin mood today.
15:22
>> That's the theme. That's the goal and
15:25
that's what I'm hoping to accomplish by
15:27
the end of the day. I've already started
15:28
on that accomplishment. So, it's worked
15:30
out pretty well. All right. I'm over
15:32
here inside. This is in Frontier Land,
15:35
which is pretty much the main pen
15:37
trading headquarters, if you will, of
15:39
this park. You know, Epcot is underneath
15:41
Spaceship Earth. over here. It's in
15:43
Frontier Land. Look at that Scrooge
15:45
McDuck right there ringing the bell
15:47
right over here. I don't think I have
15:48
that Mickey one, but not sure if I'm
15:50
going to purchase that one, but I don't
15:51
have that one. I don't think I have that
15:52
one either. But maybe I could find those
15:54
in trades. I think I'm going to purchase
15:56
this. This is $35. But it's like you can
15:58
unzip it. You put all your pens in here.
16:00
So, I can use this for future future
16:03
trades instead of carrying around a
16:04
little a little plastic zippy bag, you
16:07
know? Maybe I kind of use that. I go
16:09
over here, see what's over in the what's
16:11
new section. Looks like it's kind of the
16:14
same stuff that I saw the other day. I
16:16
also heard that some of the May the 4th
16:19
pins, which I did not wasn't able to get
16:23
on May the 4th at Hollywood Studios,
16:24
they were sold out, are starting to
16:26
appear back in the parks again, which is
16:28
kind of weird. And I didn't have I don't
16:30
have one for 2025. So, if that's the
16:32
case, I'm going to buy it. But I'm going
16:34
to get this as well. Get this also. So,
16:36
don't have to carry around a a little
16:38
zippy bag anymore. Also, there's these
16:40
these these Mickey pens, too, which are
16:42
kind of nice. These are I don't think
16:43
I'm going to get these, but this is a
16:45
pen set. It's like, look at this. It's
16:47
like 70s Mickey. This is $35, which is
16:50
pretty good. $35 for four pens. Not too
16:53
bad, but I feel like these would end up
16:54
on a pen trade board at some point. I'll
16:58
throw this one here. I like the big one.
17:00
That's pretty good, too. How much are
17:01
these? 35 for that, too. That's not a
17:03
bad deal. Four pens for 35 bucks.
17:05
Sometimes pens are like $15$20 each when
17:08
you buy them separately. So that's not a
17:09
bad deal. All right, mission
17:13
accomplished here. Look at this. I got
17:14
Luke right here. And you got Vader. Is
17:17
that Vader behind you? Yeah, Luke right
17:18
there and Vader behind him. And it is
17:20
date stamp of 2025, which I'm excited
17:22
about because on May the 4th, they were
17:24
all sold out. So I ended up getting one.
17:26
Now I also traded another one of my
17:27
pens. Traded one of my Splash Mountain
17:28
pens that I had doubles and triples of
17:30
for a another Cheshshire Catwin. cast
17:33
member was very excited. She's going to
17:34
use it in one of her secret pen training
17:37
trivia question. She goes, "You sure you
17:39
want to get one of these splash pins?"
17:40
Like, I got two or three of them. So,
17:41
she was like, "Oh, I use this for one of
17:43
the trivia ones." And if someone guesses
17:44
it, then they get the special hidden pen
17:47
trading pen. Cast members do that
17:48
sometimes, too, which I think is I think
17:50
it's pretty cool. All right, now into
17:52
the DVC lounge to transfer things over
17:54
to this. All right, accomplished
17:56
switching them from the bag into the pen
17:58
trading book. These are the ones I'm
17:59
going to take home. And these are the
18:01
ones I continue to need to trade
18:03
throughout the course of the day. And I
18:04
got my May the 4th one in the back right
18:07
there. So, got myself a little drink
18:09
here, a little hydration. I got myself
18:11
my pin trading thing. And I've
18:12
transferred them from the little zippy
18:14
bag over into my new pin trading in the
18:18
park bag right there. So, yeah. I like
18:21
it. I like it. I got myself a little
18:23
refill. They're actually closing the
18:24
lounge right now. It's like 2 minutes
18:26
until 6:00 p.m. and they're telling
18:28
everybody, "You don't have to go home,
18:30
but you can't stay here." So, heading
18:33
out.
18:37
They ended up picking up a couple
18:37
t-shirts. They already got some of the
18:39
Halloween merch out. They haven't
18:40
unveiled all the Halloween stuff, but
18:43
they have some Halloweenes t-shirts out.
18:45
Also, I took the straps off of this.
18:47
There was like some straps that didn't
18:48
really like work out too well. I tried
18:50
putting it around my shoulders and neck
18:52
and everything and it was just the the
18:53
strap was too short. Really
18:55
uncomfortable. So, this will fit in my
18:57
back pocket or I could just put it in
18:58
the back. I'll show you what I got as
19:00
well. But got my 25th 25th anniversary
19:04
of pin trading and I got my pin bag and
19:06
then I got some couple t-shirts with the
19:10
Halloween season quickly quickly
19:13
approaching.
19:14
I mean, it's it's kind of already almost
19:17
here. Almost.
19:19
There
19:22
goes
19:28
the Montreal. I'm walking over there.
19:28
Contemporary.
19:30
Getting some steps in today. Just
19:32
walking.
19:33
Walking around the lagoon.
19:36
All right. Over at the Contemporary now.
19:38
Going to pop inside.
19:40
Dare I say my favorite architecturally
19:43
designed
19:49
resort. Classic
19:49
71 opening day.
19:57
Oh, Montreal going by. Look at that. Ah,
19:57
it's a thing of beauty right there. The
19:58
Contemporary. I don't know. I just have
20:01
a soft spot for the Contemporary.
20:03
Heading in. See what I can find in here.
20:06
Yeah. How do you How can you not love
20:08
this thing? Look at this.
20:11
I don't know. It's a thing of beauty.
20:14
Maybe I'm the only one, but yeah, I just
20:16
I love it.
20:18
When I think of Walt Disney World
20:19
resorts, this is the first one that pops
20:21
in my head cuz, you know, it's one of
20:23
the originals. I mean, as you're walking
20:24
into the base, the Montreal goes over
20:26
your head and goes directly through the
20:28
resort itself. There's not many that can
20:30
say that. There's not a whole heck of a
20:32
lot that can say that. In fact, this
20:34
might be the only one that can say. Love
20:35
the carpet in here, too, which is like
20:37
the same carpet that Dandy Torrance is
20:39
sitting in front of in The Shining. It's
20:41
a different color scheme, but this is
20:43
the Shining carpet. Not all of it. This
20:46
right here is in no way the same pattern
20:48
from the Kubric classic, The Shining.
20:52
This is not. However, if you watch
20:55
Stanley Kubri's The Shining, I pointed
20:58
this out before, but every time I see
20:59
it, I'm always reminded that this is the
21:01
same carpet from Stanley Kubrick's The
21:04
Shining that's in the Overlook Hotel
21:06
right here in the Contemporary on Disney
21:09
property. Danny's not here. Mrs.
21:12
torrents.
21:14
Also, thinnest, skinniest escalator
21:18
ever. I mean, this is my feet at a
21:19
normal width. And this is this is the
21:22
escalator. I mean, it's just kind of
21:24
like really really narrow right here
21:26
going up. I mean, there may be thinner
21:27
escalators and skinnier escalators than
21:29
this. This has to be in the top 10 of
21:31
the skinniest escalators that I've ever
21:34
seen right here leading up to the top
21:36
floor or the main floor, the main lobby
21:40
area of it. Well, not the lobby, but the
21:41
main gift shop area of the Contemporary
21:44
right over here at BVG
21:46
gifts. I don't think I'm going to buy
21:48
it, but I really I don't know. I kind of
21:50
like that Fantasia like on an old spot
21:52
like 80s or '9s vibe to this like mug
21:55
right here. Stay at Bay Lake Tower
21:57
recently. It's the DVC Tower, but I
21:59
haven't stayed at the Disneyland, not
22:00
Disneyland, but the Contemporary Resort
22:02
in a while. I'm talking about this
22:03
particular section. If you go out here
22:05
and walk across a little ledge, like a
22:07
little uh little little walkway, little
22:10
platform, you go over to Bay Lake Tower,
22:11
which is just adjacent. But it's been a
22:13
while since I stayed here in the actual
22:15
Contemporary many years ago. I need to
22:17
stay here again one of one of these one
22:19
day. And this is the pin board in here.
22:21
That's kind of a unique one right there.
22:22
That the duck right there you don't see
22:24
too often as well. I think it's like is
22:26
that like a power line duck? I think it
22:28
might be. Oh, look at this right here. I
22:29
You don't see that one too often either.
22:31
None of these are really like jumping
22:32
out at me though. But uh
22:35
>> yeah, I'll look over, see what they have
22:36
for sale. Montreal going over my head.
22:38
But I got another wall pen that I don't
22:39
have that closes up. It says all started
22:41
by a mouse. I do not have this Figma pen
22:44
and I do not have this Maleficent pen.
22:46
So I figured what the heck, might as
22:48
well get them, but I really like this is
22:49
the one I really wanted to get. And then
22:50
the other two kind of just jumped out at
22:52
me cuz I love some Figma and I've been
22:54
collecting Maleficent as well. So got
22:56
that also. Nailed it. Before I forget,
22:58
I'll show the cheese that I got for the
23:00
upcoming Halloween season. Look at this
23:02
like snack eating ghost right here with
23:04
the Mickey ears on. WDW. It's got the
23:07
pumpkin. It's got a little beverage
23:08
right over there. Got some popcorn
23:10
spilling all around. I love this cute
23:12
little ghost right there. And then I got
23:14
this WDW with the bats. I really like
23:17
this one. I don't know. This one This
23:18
one kind of said you should get So I
23:20
ended up getting that one. And then I
23:21
saw that one. I think they were two for
23:23
25 if you buy one. I think it was more
23:25
than more than what the half price would
23:27
have been or the the double price would
23:29
have been I should say. I think they
23:30
were 2 for 25. Maybe it was 2 for 30.
23:32
Either way, I got two shirts, you know.
23:34
Wait, no, actually, I think Hold on.
23:36
They were Let me uh clarify this. That's
23:39
the extra large. Wait a second. Let me
23:41
uh I'm not seeing a price. I don't
23:42
remember how much they were, but yeah, I
23:44
ended up ended up getting ended up
23:46
getting these. These are the shirts.
23:48
This is my shirt haul right here. I
23:50
mean, who Nothing says Halloween like
23:51
the end of July, right? But yeah, got to
23:53
got to prepare. Got to prepare for the
23:54
2025 haunt and Halloween season. Doing
23:58
some pin trading, buying some merch,
24:00
having a good day, having some time,
24:02
staying out of the sun. While I'm in
24:03
here, look at the magnificent Mary Blair
24:05
mural here on the wall. Five-legged
24:07
goats on the other side, but there are
24:09
some standard four-legged goats on this
24:12
side, which do not get as much
24:13
recognition as the very rare five-legged
24:16
goat. I actually have a five-legged goat
24:18
pin at home. Those are kind of rare,
24:20
too. That one I'm not trading. I don't
24:22
have duplicates of that one, but yeah,
24:24
four-legged goats. I don't think they
24:26
get enough love. This is This is all
24:28
about the four-legged goat today. I'm
24:29
not even going to talk about the
24:30
five-legged goat anymore. No more. Only
24:33
four-legged the rest of the two-legged
24:36
skunk and two-handed skunk. Now, if it
24:38
was on all fours, it' be fourleggeds.
24:40
Four legs, but it's got two legs. And
24:42
they are It's a So, there's skunks right
24:45
there. At least I think that's a skunk,
24:46
right? I think that would be what that
24:48
is. Right up top. There's a bear right
24:50
there. There's an owl. There's another
24:53
bear as well going all the way up. This
24:56
thing is amazing. This whole mural,
24:58
which is absolutely incredible. All
25:00
these tiles that are in here. There's a
25:03
bunny rabbit right there. There's a cute
25:05
little bunny. And here's another skunk
25:08
that is on all fours.
25:11
Okay, so some of them stand up and say
25:13
hi, and other ones just walk around.
25:15
Mary Blair really loves some skunks.
25:18
There's more skunks right there. More
25:22
skunks. There's four skunks.
25:25
Four skunks. I'm like
25:28
significant of the skunks. There's a lot
25:30
of skunks.
25:36
These are like charging towards me. Like
25:36
charging skunks. They're like coming
25:38
towards me at a rapid pace. These skunks
25:42
going up up up another skinny escalator
25:46
up to the Montreal platform.
25:49
Heading up. This thing's full on pins
25:51
now. Ones that I purchased, ones that I
25:53
traded.
25:55
Little bit of both. Pretty happy with my
25:56
finds today. Didn't really have a major
25:59
game plan. I just knew I wanted to pop
26:01
in the parks or pop in the park. Pop in
26:04
the resorts. And I did. I make my way
26:06
homeward.
26:09
Watch the Rays game against the Yankees.
26:11
Game three. They're tied up one to one.
26:13
Rays.
26:15
Trade deadline coming up very soon, the
26:17
next day or two.
26:20
Ray's really got to they got to get some
26:21
wins going.
26:27
>> Still, I think eight and a half games
26:27
back
26:29
in the division. I mean, it's it's still
26:31
still a ways to go, but it's it's crunch
26:33
time. Ray's got to get uh get their you
26:36
know what together. You know what I'm
26:38
talking about, Mickey, right? Your you
26:39
know what.
27:03
There's the current state of the AL East
27:03
as of right now.
27:06
Game started 15 minutes ago. Time I get
27:09
home, I'll probably catch the second
27:10
half of the game.
27:12
See what happens.
27:15
Nine games back.
27:33
>> See the dust about to appear. It's not
27:33
night time yet. It's not even dusk yet,
27:34
but it'll soon be dusk. See the sun over
27:38
there? The distance. Also see the water
27:41
bridge. The boats are going over.
27:43
Cars drive underneath. You can see right
27:45
here the water routes and cars go
27:47
directly underneath.
27:50
>> Yeah.
27:51
>> And buses.
27:52
>> There's a landing down.
27:55
>> Sky looks pretty cool.
28:25
It's like the heavens are open up and
28:25
bestowing all its beautiful eye candy
28:28
upon us. Look at that. Look at that
28:30
right there. I mean, come on.
28:33
It's the little things. Just the little
28:35
things. I mean, that is just so
28:37
picturesque and totally free to just,
28:39
you know, you have to, you know,
28:39
nothing. No, no charge. You just look up
28:41
at the sky and you see that.
28:43
>> This is one of the coolest pin boards.
28:44
It looks just like a Montreal
28:46
>> Disney Transport.
28:50
The Montreal goes over. Double Montreal
28:51
goes over.
28:53
>> This might be the the best pin board
28:54
ever right here. Look at this. Donald's
28:56
pretty good.
29:02
>> People are coming in now because the new
29:02
parade, the Disney Starlight parade,
29:03
which I saw the other night. Heading to
29:06
watch the heading home. Grab a bike to
29:09
eat. I'm thinking maybe a burrito place
29:12
that's over by the new Publix on World
29:14
Drive. Grab that and then watch a little
29:16
baseball. Parade's great, but a lot of
29:18
people, nobody was really in the park
29:19
during the day, but now the sun is going
29:21
down. People are heading in in droves.
29:22
Watch the parade. Nighttime parade.
29:24
Florida can be pretty rough sometime in
29:25
the summers. Got to be completely
29:27
honest. I'm not going to lie about that.
29:29
Brutal. But now that the sun has, you
29:33
know, gone over the horizon a little
29:35
bit, it's a little more tolerable. But
29:37
dang, you get some really good cloud
29:39
formations. And
29:42
another Montreal going by. It's like
29:44
Montreal Peach.
29:46
Possibly peach from here.
30:01
Listen to those insects.
30:01
There's something in the trees.
30:08
That was supposed to be Arnold, but I
30:08
didn't I didn't uh I don't think I got
30:10
to my best Arnold capacity on that one.
30:12
That's right. Come on.
30:16
Look at that sunset. Wow. Look at the
30:19
pre- dusk. It's not a sunset. I don't
30:22
know why I keep saying that, but yeah.
30:25
It feels good out. It feels tolerable
30:27
out here now. Let's just say let's say
30:28
that it feels tolerable out here now. I
30:31
wouldn't say it feels good, but it feels
30:33
better than it did.
30:39
That's That's good enough. I don't know
30:39
why I just thought about this, but it's
30:40
a lot of Disney vloggers. Tons of Disney
30:42
vloggers, Disney influencers, Disney
30:45
social media people. You know who I
30:47
missed doing Disney vlogs? Michael K.
30:49
Remember Michael K? He stopped doing
30:52
Disney vlogs and stuff and he was a he
30:54
was a breath of fresh air in the Disney
30:57
vlogging community.
31:02
If Michael K ever started doing Disney
31:02
vlogs again, I would I would definitely
31:04
watch them. I don't know why I remember
31:06
one time him and I were here and we were
31:08
parked kind of in the same area I'm
31:10
parked at now. We were walking through
31:11
here having a discussion. So when I
31:13
walked walked through this area, I just
31:16
thinking random thoughts, I know. Random
31:18
thoughts, I know, but hope he's doing
31:20
well. Disney community is such a great
31:22
one. Whether it be Disneyland, whether
31:25
it be Disney World, and you know,
31:27
Disneyland Paris, which I've only been
31:29
to one time over a few days, I'm sure I
31:32
would imagine they have their own really
31:34
good Disney community. Good to see Herb
31:39
Gingerbread House Herb over at the
31:43
over at the uh Grand Fian. I know people
31:46
wonder why I go to Disney so much, and
31:48
it's because of the rides. It's because
31:49
of the attractions. It's because of
31:51
merchandise. It's because of pin
31:52
trading. It's because of new events that
31:55
happen, new parades that rear their
31:56
head. But also, it's just being in there
31:59
is nice. You know, when you're a
32:01
passholder, it's a little bit different
32:03
than coming here on vacation. You come
32:05
here on vacation, you're so rushed to do
32:06
everything. But there are times, like
32:08
today, I didn't get on one ride. I
32:10
didn't get on one attraction. I didn't
32:12
even really plan. I kind of wanted to
32:15
pop inside of Magikina, but that wasn't
32:17
really I didn't know if it was going to
32:18
happen and I just did. Walked around Bay
32:22
Lake. No, 7C. I did not go over to Bay
32:25
Lake. Bay Lakes over there. Saw Bay
32:28
Lake. Saw the water. Saw the the water
32:30
bridge. Did I park over in this area?
32:33
But just being a passholder is so nice.
32:34
Especially living in Celebration. Could
32:36
pop over here in 10 minutes. It's great.
32:39
keep meeting people,
32:42
seeing friends, seeing cast members.
32:45
It's a nice familiar
32:48
feeling. It's a It's a It's like a
32:50
comfort food, but a place, if that makes
32:54
sense. It's like It's like having a
32:56
comfort food, but in a place.
33:00
I'm gonna go get myself a burrito. I
33:02
think just the experience of being
33:03
somewhere
33:05
and just those those vibes that you get,
33:08
the nostalgia
33:10
that you create in your own mind, your
33:13
own life, memories.
33:16
Got a lifetime of memories here.
33:18
Lifetime.
33:20
My mom and dad first brought me here the
33:23
mid70s when I was very young. I do not
33:25
remember that. And then we would
33:27
continue. I mean, through photos, I
33:28
remember seeing photos. Obviously, we
33:30
still have those. But my first
33:32
recollection was shortly after Epcot
33:34
opened in ' 82,
33:38
which I would have been I don't know if
33:38
we showed up opening year, but Epcot
33:41
started in ' 82, which would have been
33:43
six. Couple years after that, we would
33:45
start coming here on a semi-regular
33:47
basis once a year. I started getting
33:48
those core memories. Then we moved here
33:49
in '91,
33:51
2 years after Hollywood Studios, then
33:53
MGM Studios opened.
33:56
I've just built a lot of nostalgia and a
33:58
lot of core memories here. I'm a
33:59
passholder. I live a few minutes away. I
34:01
live in Celebration. And I love being a
34:03
Disney adult. I love going to the Disney
34:05
parks. I love
34:07
just having days where I have no game
34:09
plan where I can just walk around, do
34:11
some pen trading, just do my thing, and
34:15
living a living a good life here in
34:17
Central Florida.
34:19
But obviously, I'm leaving in a
34:21
[laughter] few days. I'm never here, but
34:24
when I am, this is what I like to do.
34:36
I'm I'm liking the fact that the sun is
34:36
not baking my neck and my head right
34:39
now. This is a good time. This is a good
34:42
time to show up to the parks, but I
34:45
showed up earlier cuz I didn't show up
34:48
now, but you get the idea.
34:58
You know, I've also been thinking how
34:58
long I've been a passholder here at WDW
35:00
and then Disneyland.
35:02
Many, many years as well. I got my first
35:04
annual pass in 2001, I believe it was.
35:08
Definitely 2003. No, it was 2001,
35:12
but maybe 2002 or 2000, let's call it,
35:14
let's say 2003.
35:16
I think it was 2001, which was 24 years
35:20
ago. Now, I did skip a couple years of
35:22
going to Disney.
35:24
Took a little little bit of a break. Did
35:26
other things. Got into playing in a
35:28
band, doing the punk rock stuff. Kind of
35:31
fell out of the Disney Disney thing and
35:34
the Disney community and
35:37
got back into it.
35:40
Probably got my more recent annual pass
35:43
again.
35:45
Well, I don't know, mid 2000s. only a
35:47
few years like 03
35:50
to maybe 05 or 06 I didn't have an
35:52
annual pass. So I have probably been a
35:54
passholder
35:57
for almost almost 20 years I've been a
36:00
passholder to WDW.
36:03
Love it.
36:05
Even Even if I took 5 years off of that
36:07
15 years. Oh hi how you doing over
36:10
there? How you doing Monroe?
36:13
They used to have a coast to coast pass.
36:15
They got rid of that in 2020, but for
36:17
like five or six years, I was a coast to
36:19
coast passholder. Now you have to do
36:21
them individually. You have to get a If
36:23
you want to go coast to coast,
36:26
you got to buy one here and buy one at
36:28
Disneyland.
36:30
I am not a Disneyland Paris passholder.
36:33
I think I'm good on that. I don't know
36:34
when the next time I'm going to go to
36:35
Paris, so there's no need for that. But
36:39
and I really have there's really no
36:42
reason in my life to not have a
36:45
Disneyland annual pass and to not have
36:47
Disney World annual pass, especially
36:50
having DBC and go over to the West
36:53
Coast, hop a plane. Things might change.
36:57
I cannot I definitely cannot see myself
36:59
not being a WDW passholder. There might
37:01
come a time when I'm not a Disneyland
37:04
passholder. I mean, there may come a
37:06
time when I'm not popping on a plane and
37:08
heading over to Disney World frequently
37:09
enough to buy an annual pass, but for
37:12
what I do, what I love, what I enjoy,
37:16
the Coast to Coast Disney parks,
37:19
it's worth it for me. Just my opinion.
37:23
Not everyone's going to agree. Some
37:25
people are going to heavily disagree.
37:27
Some people are going to take issue with
37:30
it.
37:31
But I think a lot of people understand.
37:34
I think they just understand.
37:37
I don't know what to say, but I do
37:40
really wish they'd bring that coast to
37:42
coast pass back. Bring it back, Disney.
37:44
Come on. We need that coast to coast AP.
37:52
Why doesn't it exist anymore? I mean, I
37:52
get why it didn't for a few years
37:53
because Disneyland wasn't open for like
37:55
a year and a half, but now it's open.
37:56
Bring it back, please. Stopping off over
37:58
here at the Publix Plaza on the corner
38:00
of Will Drive. the not the 192 Publix,
38:03
but the the one right on I4
38:07
to Bubba's
38:09
Burritos. Always like I always enjoy
38:13
this place. I don't eat here all the
38:14
time, but I eat here occasionally.
38:16
Getting a little uh little burrito
38:18
place. I always get the burrito bowl,
38:20
which is basically just a non wrapped up
38:22
burrito in a bowl
38:25
right over here at the Publix Plaza.
38:27
Sometimes I'll go in, well, a lot of
38:28
times I'll go in Publix and I get the my
38:31
usual meal, just like a pre-made salad
38:33
and chickpeas and things like that. But
38:35
then other times I'll get, you know, I
38:36
won't be in the mood for that. But
38:39
tonight, I was in the mood for a little
38:42
little burrito bowl.
38:45
So, I'm going to get one of those. But
38:47
first, wanted to show this amazing view
38:49
here of the sun setting off in the
38:53
distance. the Mickey Power Pole.
38:58

39:00

39:02

39:04
Got some travels coming up in a few
39:06
days. Not immediately, but a few days
39:08
from now into early August. Not August
39:10
1st, but a couple days after that, I
39:12
will be going to another country. And
39:14
then after that, some other stuff. A lot
39:17
of lot of things on the horizon. a lot.
39:25
I like staying busy. Well, thanks for
