Transcript
0:12
today's adventure begins by looking at
0:12
i-4 westbound traffic on the main
0:15
portion of the interstate pretty busy
0:17
but this little merging lane over here
0:18
not too bad at 7 45 pm
0:22
on friday april 1st
0:25
2022
0:38
and i assure you it is no joke
0:38
because april fool's dead that i'm going
0:40
in the magic kingdom i got a reservation
0:42
surprisingly and i was checking the app
0:44
the wait times aren't too bad a storm is
0:46
rolling in
0:48
i'm heading to disney
0:50
at disney park for the seventh time
0:53
so far this year my seventh
0:55
disney park visit
0:57
2022 i'm doing it and just to show the
1:00
opposite direction
1:02
yeah i for westbound around this area
1:04
bottlenecks
1:05
all the time
1:08
it's just always bottlenecked for
1:09
whatever
1:10
reason it's bottlenecks now this might
1:13
end up not working out in my favor with
1:16
the inclement weather but i'm going to
1:17
give it a chance i also realized
1:20
that i have not been on big thunder
1:22
mountain railroad i have not best
1:24
removed them all of this year so far in
1:27
22.
1:28
not once approaching the parking turn
1:30
styles for ttc transportation ticket
1:32
center
1:34
now it's three hours till close the park
1:36
closes at 11 pm
1:38
and it's just a few minutes to eight and
1:40
three months there's a little hack at
1:41
three minutes until
1:44
they usually will let you just go i have
1:45
an annual pass i renew my annual pass
1:47
last week
1:48
so parking is covered but if you get
1:50
here
1:51
just before let's see if they left these
1:52
though they're still checking
1:54
no they might be waving they might be
1:56
waving people through they're waving
1:57
through it and as soon as i parked the
1:59
rain has begun
2:01
the trams are running however go up here
2:05
get the train to see the sun is setting
2:06
over there in the distance
2:12
i always i always fail to bring a poncho
2:12
but i do bring my umbrella
2:14
welcome everyone
2:15
adam is the woo here wearing an
2:18
appropriate t-shirt i got this at disney
2:20
springs six seven months ago and i've
2:23
never worn it i figure it was very
2:26
appropriate for riding
2:28
if i can you know
2:32
good lord willing in the
2:32
creek don't rise is that the sag
2:35
sometimes the rain stops
2:37
the roller coasters
2:38
but i'm wearing an appropriate t-shirt
2:41
if so yes the tram
2:43
is
2:45
quite
2:46
operational
2:48
should i walk in or take the tram i
2:50
think i might take the trail
2:51
also this is the this is the furthest
2:54
back i've parked
2:56
in like over a year this is almost back
2:58
to where the richard petty driving
2:59
experience used to be they tore that
3:01
down and now it's a lagoon so this is
3:03
way back it's probably gonna be busy in
3:05
there
3:06
join me
3:08
shall you
3:09
i have to be on this side of the
3:11
stanchion
3:12
because this is where the tram boarding
3:14
ends so if i'm
3:15
right here it'll be at the back of the
3:17
tram i already have a little raindrops
3:19
on my camera
3:39
i have no real rhyme or reason to what
3:39
i'm filming tonight but i just felt like
3:41
filming i got busy doing personal stuff
3:42
throughout the course of the day and
3:43
decided okay
3:45
i missed i misjudged that i thought it
3:46
was going to be towards the end but i
3:48
got to walk up here
3:49
being said sit back
3:55
relax head driver we are clear for
3:55
dispatch these are the wait times
3:58
12 30 that's 90 minutes after park
4:00
closes
4:01
please arrive at the ticket
4:02
transportation center before 12 30
4:04
because if you guys arrive after the
4:06
only thing running will be you back to
4:08
your vehicles and trust me you guys do
4:09
not want to walk back this is kind of
4:11
interesting they ended up dropping off
4:13
right here
4:14
underneath the monorail beam they didn't
4:15
even go up to the front of ttc
4:18
this is kind of a rare sight seeing the
4:20
tram turn around right here around this
4:22
pole
4:24
instead of going around so basically
4:25
it's just gonna do a u-turn i'm going to
4:28
be very patient though this isn't
4:30
this is probably not the most riveting
4:31
thing but if you're in the trams
4:35
this is the one i was just on
4:37
there you go it's a rare peak in this
4:39
circling around the tram
4:42
caution tram
4:44
traffic does not stop signage
4:51
and there goes the tram i wonder what
4:51
heavy metal mickey thinks about possible
4:54
possibly having a storm going through
4:57
are you a lightning conductor are you a
4:59
lightning rod and always a tough
5:00
decision monorail over by the way there
5:03
goes i light it up under the underbelly
5:06
monorail but usually i take the ferry
5:08
boat over to mk a hot vanilla latte but
5:10
that's what i have chosen everyone's
5:12
leaving i'm heading in heading over to
5:14
the ferry boat oh yes the admiral joe
5:16
fowler i'm starting to really like
5:18
joffrey's more than starbucks when i'm
5:19
in the parks
5:24
not too many people up here on the top
5:24
level at this hour you know i've never
5:25
really thought about it before but i
5:27
don't think that there is
5:29
a big thunder mountain
5:32
poster through here
5:35
got mad tea party small world space
5:37
space mountain pirates
5:40
no big thunder and looks like everyone's
5:42
lining up for the fireworks are gonna
5:44
happen at nine which could be a it could
5:46
be a good opportunity to get some short
5:47
wait times as well weather's cooperating
5:49
so far now i have been at hollywood
5:51
studios a couple times in the galaxy
5:53
edge and batu at night so far here in
5:55
2022 but i don't think i've been in
5:57
after nightfall
5:59
so far in the magic kingdom this year i
6:01
forgot how really beautiful it is all
6:03
lit up at night yeah i'm glad i came in
6:05
the evening yeah this is exciting the
6:07
other two times i was here
6:10
it was there was such a long wait it's
6:12
only 20 minutes now just check the app
6:13
it's only 20 minute wait
6:16
for big thunder mountain railroad
6:18
sign is obscured right there wait for it
6:20
wait for it wait for it
6:21
20 minutes
6:23
that is not true but also splash
6:25
mountain is operational at the moment so
6:27
it is not down for reefer yet when are
6:29
they going to close it to do the the
6:31
overlay also fun fact this photograph in
6:33
here is tony baxter it's obviously an
6:36
interpretation of tony baxter but we
6:37
have him to thank for this ride my
6:39
favorite ride on all the disney
6:41
properties dare i say my favorite
6:43
attraction anywhere i love big thunder
6:45
mountain rail i can't decide if i like
6:47
this one or a disc or disneyland better
6:49
but i love a boat also there is an apple
6:51
dumpling reference don notch right here
6:53
and tim conway yep check that out also
6:56
it is incredibly humid and i really
6:58
cannot wait
6:59
to hit the road because i know this it's
7:01
not even summer yet it's only spring but
7:03
it is warm out here at this hour i just
7:05
checked the weather it's only 80 degrees
7:07
but it feels like it's a lot hotter
7:09
probably because it was gonna rain so
7:10
the humidity level is off the charts
7:13
right now i am on row number six
7:16
there's no six here but there's a six
7:18
behind me and there's one all the way in
7:20
the back there's no three sixes for
7:22
whatever reason they didn't put the
7:23
third six
7:24
right in the middle of the train
7:41
and i believe
7:41
this might be coordinated
7:44
with the fireworks
7:52
i checked i checked the time just before
7:52
boarding
7:53
and it's a little after nine so if my
7:55
calculations are correct just like doc
7:58
ralph said back to the future
8:02
it's not going to go 88
8:04
but i might see the fireworks happening
8:06
right
8:07
about
8:08
now
8:10
should i could
8:48
that is perfect timing right there
8:48
that is awesome castle over
8:55
we got the there wash right there
8:56
that is a thing of beauty and the goat
8:59
let's say hello to the goat it's been a
9:00
while ago
9:01

yesterday
10:21
for real look this is happening right
10:22
i know it might not be like much to some
10:24
but this
10:25
favorite attraction and a magical moment
10:27
with the fireworks happening have the
10:29
same text same time next to these
10:30
geysers and the fireworks were so
10:32
lengthy indeed that i was able to start
10:34
when i got on big thunder mountain
10:35
railroad the best removed and they
10:37
started they're not they were removing
10:39
them
10:40
from the little areas that they had the
10:41
fireworks planted into the sky and was
10:44
able to witness the grand finale
10:46
walking through frontierland as well i'm
10:48
wearing an appropriate shirt mickey and
10:50
the cowboy gear for frontierland
10:51
fireworks here over the castle and the
10:53
grand finale has just happened
10:56
that
10:57
truly an awesome moment
10:59
i know i know i said it before i had to
11:00
reiterate myself that was pretty dang
11:02
cool
11:03
first time ever on big fight i've done
11:04
it on splash once with the fireworks
11:06
done it once on tomorrowland speedway
11:08
never on big thunder mountain railroad
11:09
first time this year now over onto
11:11
tomorrowland speedway i should also
11:13
point out they do have these fans that
11:16
are very nice and cooling but still the
11:18
humidity
11:19
is very strong
11:21
very strong i wouldn't think during
11:22
spring would be this thick but it is and
11:24
this was only a five minute wait a
11:26
walk-on if you will
11:28
look at that pod over there that is tron
11:31
i have not seen the progress of tron and
11:34
it's all illuminated next to space
11:37
mountain and it's slightly unusual that
11:40
over here on this side
11:43
floating on this side
11:45
that's a first
11:55
hey usually i'm on that other side
11:55
oh that's a lucky car right there number
11:56
13. someone else is already in that this
11:59
is wouldn't it be neat if i was in
12:00
number six because that was the row on
12:02
big thunder i was on oh wait a second
12:04
you know what i might end up getting
12:05
number six
12:06
there's a line of it by myself
12:10
oh i'm going this way oh i'm in a oh
12:13
they're escorting me over this way this
12:15
is unusual
12:16
all right i'm in number six
12:24
yeah this is very different they're not
12:24
loading at the numbers
12:26
they're loading over here you can see
12:27
everyone's walking off of the track and
12:30
walking over here i've never seen that
12:32
before
12:33
that's different
12:35
pretty cool
12:36
in fact this car is not even running at
12:38
the moment
12:40
yeah this car's not even running look at
12:41
the people mover going by up there
12:49
but usually you're at the numbers
12:49
yeah they're just telling everyone to
12:50
walk on the track this is different
12:53
this is a first for me and you can see
12:56
just how much perspiration is on here
12:58
okay she's closing the gate
13:03
the game is closed
13:03
i think they gotta crank this this bad
13:05
boy up though
13:07
look the the back hood is closed
13:10
the
13:11
the back
13:13
little trunk area is closed
13:20
very peculiar
13:20
and it wasn't to decrease the line at
13:22
all because it was only a five-minute
13:24
walk-on way
13:40
that was cool something different i've
13:40
never been on this track before
13:42
is this the track kirby was in from back
13:43
in the day
13:46
is that the opening day special oh that
13:47
water bottle is like right there
13:49
look at this
13:51
now okay i've had two opportunities here
13:54
at mk that i've never had before ever
13:57
in existence usually i'm on this track
13:59
right over here i'm never on this track
14:01
that's different ah yes feels a lot
14:04
cooler well not cooler
14:06
but less warm
14:08
when
14:09
you got a breeze in your hair and on
14:11
your face
14:17
nice little breeze
14:17
you know because i'm probably going what
14:18
maybe
14:19
seven miles per hour or maybe six
14:22
miles per hour maybe six is my lucky
14:24
number
14:25
this evening
14:26
because that was the q line the
14:28
number that i got in line on big thunder
14:31
and
14:32
this thing's vibrating my voice is like
14:34
shaking a little bit
14:35
and i have not seen this much completion
14:38
on tron yet
14:39
now i believe they hope they said
14:41
guardians of the galaxy
14:43
cosmic rewind is going to open summer of
14:45
this year
14:47
it'd be nice
14:48
if tron opened shortly after that
14:52
that would be pretty dang nice and the
14:54
train
14:55
hopefully will be back soon the train
14:56
will go right by
14:58
that little netting there
15:01
yeah i hope i'm gonna flip this around
15:07
it's a good night
15:13
tonight's april fool's day and i'm not
15:13
fooling
15:14
i'm having a good time
15:20
except it's a little humid other than
15:20
that though it's okay
15:22
should be departing on my road trip on
15:24
april 12th and i use that term lightly
15:28
because i'm only going to be gone i want
15:29
to give too many spoilers but i'm going
15:30
to be going about a week and i'm going
15:32
to come back for a week and then i'm
15:33
going to go out for probably eight weeks
15:35
originally i was going to be out for 10
15:36
weeks
15:37
and i decided i'm gonna go out for one
15:39
week come back for a week and then go
15:40
out for you know two months because 10
15:42
weeks and one stretch is kind of lengthy
15:44
so week on week off and then two months
15:46
out
15:47
as of right now i changed my mind a lot
15:49
but as of right now that's what i'm
15:50
thinking
15:52
i like the purple hue
15:54
of tomorrowland
15:56
i really like the purple hue of
15:57
tomorrowland
15:59
as opposed to dumbo over here which has
16:01
a red and yellow cube whoa what is going
16:03
on i'm bouncing around a lot
16:05
and you got the teacups over there just
16:07
given the layout of the land here
16:09
wdw impact magic kingdom it says please
16:13
at least one car space between cars i'm
16:15
not pulling in over there like i usually
16:17
pull over here look at this everyone's
16:19
clapping
16:20
up here they going to give me a they're
16:21

16:23
for them because they're not clapping
16:24
for me right up there look they're
16:25
clapping for me yes i'll get a clap and
16:27
i have never been so close to the
16:29
victory circle right over here at the
16:31
exit
16:32
yeah right by the victory circle going
16:34
up this ramp
16:38
i don't know if i've ever walked up
16:39

17:06
just a few people in this little area
17:08

17:11
little precipitation has now started to
