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 Well, thanks for watching. I'll see you
39:00 in the next video. I appreciate you
39:02 watching.
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
39:25 watching. I'll see you in the next
39:26 video. That's the Mickey Power Pole
39:28 right there.
39:34 That's the sun setting.
39:34 The vlog
