 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Disney's Hollywood Studios and character meet-and-greets are finally back No longer do we have to do a social distance selfie? We can hug the characters put our arms around the characters and take a photo and I'm so excited I came to Hollywood Studios because there's so many amazing character meet-and-greets here and also we have dining reservations as Hollywood and Vine which is a character dining so I want to see if anything changes there any hoos Let's go do this It looks a little bit gloomy out today, and we had a pretty bad thunderstorm last night So hopefully we can avoid the rain and the crowds might be a little bit busy because it's still kind of a holiday weekend Yesterday was Easter Sunday, and I know a lot of people usually stick around the Monday afterwards We might try to ride some rides a little bit later on But I feel like the important thing today is characters and Hollywood Studios has a sorcerer Mickey here Which is one of my favorite Mickey's then they have Olaf they have Minnie and also I here tell that some of our other Favorite characters are actually coming back now officially for meet-and-greets Including Sully and maybe some Star Wars characters, and I just I'm very excited And like I said in the beginning I'm excited to come to Hollywood and Vine because this is a character dining so we're gonna be able to see Mickey Minnie Pluto and Goofy all for Minnie's springtime Dine and It's gonna be cool to see them come up to the tables again like everything is changing Everybody is excited that they get to hug their favorite characters again for me I'm not the biggest hugger unless of course it is Mickey Bay Max Oogie Boogie Chewbacca and Sully like I feel like those characters right there are the best huggers actually in the park And I'm super excited if Sully is here today his arms are so huge and they wrap around you And the same thing with Oogie Boogie when he comes to hug you He like does this like little warm thing and I love it of course Mickey You know what I mean, but I'm hoping that we get to see Sully today and of course sorcerer Mickey So I think we're gonna head that way right now We're gonna head right on into red carpet dream starring Mickey and Minnie and it is a 90 minute wait 90 minute wait, but we're both gonna we're gonna see Mickey and Minnie in here And we're actually gonna see them in four different outfits today, so it's gonna be a lot. It's gonna be a lot of fun This is a big deal not just for the fact that we get to hug characters again But the more meet and greet opportunities that reopen Meaning there's gonna be lower wait times throughout the whole entire like resort You know what I mean because it's gonna alleviate all of the people waiting in line for other attractions So I'm super excited Like I said, it says 90 minutes outside and this is the amount of people that are waiting right here This is the queue itself But it's gonna take a little bit longer once they're in there because now we're gonna be able to talk with the characters hug Dumb and this also has a lightning lane, so the lightning lane is completely sold out for the day though. I Actually counted the amount of people that are in front of me on the stand by or in the standby line and it is 19 19 people 90 minutes. Isn't that crazy? Oh boy, right? That was seriously a 90 minute wait We made it inside and that was seriously a 90 minute wait I don't think I've ever waited that long for a character before but it's totally worth it's the first day Everybody's so excited and like nobody was complaining like it was just great We're up next and first we're gonna meet mini and then we're gonna go down the red carpet and we're gonna get to meet sorcerer Mickey Oh That felt really amazing I know you probably don't get it until you come here And you actually get to like hug the characters it does it feels great All right sorcerer Mickey is just around the corner I can't wait to go in there and plus I love the setting that they actually have in here for sorcerer Mickey It's my favorite I I'm thirsty. That is awesome. I hope everybody stays. Lots of hugs, lots of fun. I know, it's great. Oh man, that's so fast. Let's do a photo, pal. Let's do it. I'm like, whoop. Ready everyone? Put these right. One, two, and three, four, seven. That is a really cool video. This is my first ever video. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. 90 minutes and let me tell you something. It was worth every second. Now we're going to make our way down to Walk Disney Presents. And we're going to see Sully. I'm so excited. Sully is so much fun. And then of course we have Olaf later on. And then Hollywood and Vine, some good food. And more Mickey and Minnie and Goofy. I think Sully is really going to love my Pixar Roosevelt shirt too. You got tons of Mike Wazowski's on here. You got the aliens. And I think he's on there too. I think Sully is somewhere on this shirt. There's the Monsters Inc. logo there. And then there's Mike Wazowski. But I don't know. I'm pretty sure Sully's on here somewhere. We just got to find them. I got to be able to point it out when I get in there. Walk Disney Presents has had some pretty iconic character meet and greets down here. Remember when they had baby group? Like wasn't that the coolest thing ever? And I think BB-8 used to be in here before. It got its permanent spot. And I'm happy to see Sully back though. And here it is. I don't think there's a long wait time either. So we're just going to go right on in. Another thing I didn't get to talk about is now you can do autographs. The characters can actually sign autograph books again. So that's a really added benefit. Instead in the past they were actually giving out pre-signed cards. But now you can actually go up and get Mickey Mouse to sign your book. And I love that. Look at how fun it is in here. This is too good. And there's no wait. There's nobody waiting to actually wait to meet Sully. I love this. Look at this. We're going through a door. Hi, how are you? Right here? Alright. Oh yes, of course. Thank you. Nice. Do you like this shirt? You're on this shirt somewhere. Mike was out. He's here. 2319. It's elegant. I'm pretty sure he has a bag. I do not see him. You are on the back? Maybe. I'm not too sure. I'll have to look. Is that it? They had to let Mike be on something. You're on everything. You know? He's always getting locked. Yeah. Mike was out. Nice. Scary pose. Just like I said, Sully gives the best hugs. Like the way his arms just wrap all the way around you. I love it. That was great. Now I did go down to Launch Bay and it doesn't look like there's any Star Wars characters. Now I heard that there were Star Wars characters. That not being, if you see them walking around, you can actually get your photo with them now. I know that Chip and Dale and Goofy and a lot of our other friends were actually walking around other parks and I see pictures of people that are getting photos with them. So maybe we'll keep an eye out. But now it's time to head to Hollywood and Vine and we're going to get some dinner and check out character dining. Before we make our way over to Hollywood and Vine, I did want to stop and see what the wait times are like. Looks like Rise of the Resistance is a 105 minute wait. Smugglers run 75 minutes. Tower of Terror 110 minutes. Oh, see the Disney stars at Red Carpet Dream. So Mickey and Minnie is still a 95 minute wait. Slinky Dog Dash is 115 minute wait. So there's just about five different attractions with 100 plus minute wait. I mean that's in counting Mickey and Minnie because 95, you might as well just round it out. As you can see, the chances of us riding a ride today is actually going to be pretty slim. I mean we could do Star Tours. Star Tours usually is like not a long wait. But I mean I would love to do Slinky Dog Dash. I mean that would have been great. And there's definitely a storm of ruin. There is some very dark clouds right over here. Look at that. That is definitely a storm of rolling in. Alright, it's time to head on in and let's take a look at the menu outside. I was like showing you guys the picture menus because everything's basically digital now. But Hollywood and Vine, it is kind of an all-you-care-to-enjoy experience but you pick per entree and you can get beef tenderloin, macaroni and cheese with shrimp. They have salmon, they have turkey, they have spice rubbed pork loin, some asparagus. And then you get your dessert. So it is really good and we've been in here before. I've had every single one of these. Today it's more or less just showing all the amazing character interactions. But I do enjoy it. Now we have made it to our table. And they bring over a little postcard of all of the characters we're going to meet. Mickey, Minnie, Pluto and Goofy. And it's already pre-zined but you can get them to sign it if you want to. Looks like Mickey is making his rounds at the moment and I am super excited. He's going up to each individual table and he's giving hugs. And it's really awesome because during the social distancing they weren't allowed to come to the table. They can come like six feet away and you can get like a selfie. But now they're actually visiting each table. Like they're table touching each table and that's amazing. The meal always starts off with bread service and salad. And I have to tell you, these croutons right here are the best croutons on Disney property. I love them. And it comes with a little ranch dressing on there. And I think I'm going to get the turkey. I just had turkey at Liberty Tree. But the turkey here is really good and it used to be a buffet. Maybe one day it's going to go back to the buffet. Only time will tell. In the past, depending on where you were seating in the restaurant you really didn't get a good character interaction because of the social distancing. But now every single table is going to get the same exact interaction. And that is perfect. That is the way it should have been. But I mean, you have to take certain precautions and I'm happy that they're bringing it back. There he is signing autograph books. I have to get myself an autograph book now. There he is. How you doing, pal? Yeah? Are you having a good day? Yeah? Excellent. I like your springtime outfit. You look very dapper. I love it. Yeah, that's the way. Very good. Honestly, the best. I'm so excited. Can we do a photo? Yeah? All right, I'm going to get up. I'm like, oh yeah, here we go. Nice little photo. Is that there? There we go. Okay, perfect. Let's put it in that bag. Thank you. I think I took it. Yes. Thanks, pal. You're the best. Seriously. Thanks. Have fun. We'll see you again soon. Mickey is looking awesome in his little springtime outfit. And Minnie's actually making her ways around again now. And I can't wait to meet Pluto and Goofy. And just like that, the food has arrived. And look at this turkey din din. Got some nice cranberry relish, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans. And I asked for some lemon broccolini because this stuff is amazing. I love broccolini, but I can't wait to dive in. Like this is so good. I'm going to grab a little bit of the stuffing first because I love the stuffing here. It is so phenomenal. Oh yeah. Some of the best stuffing on property, I tell you. Now let's get some turkey. Let's get some, it's turkey time. There we go. A little turkey, a little mashed potatoes. Everything in one bite. That's what you need to do. The perfect bites. The perfect bite. That's good. Much too good. Oh, good, good. Hi Minnie, how are you? Nice. I had to come over. Oh yes. I love the dress, looking fantastic. Yeah, very good. Oh, are you happy? It's a good day, right? Oh, you're coming with? Oh, you're going to have dinner with me? Oh well, I feel really honored right now. Not, oh wow. I know, can we get her a plate? This is great. You know, I thought I'd be dining alone today. I am really happy about this. You are the best Minnie, seriously. I am so happy. Can I take a photo of us dining together? I'm loving this so much. I think so. Did you take a photo? Oh, thank you. I'm so happy right now. Thank you Minnie, thank you so much. That was the best ever. Oh yo, I think you should give me a hug. Oh my lord. Thank you. I love it. Awesome. Yeah, oh it's good. Everything's good. Too bad you couldn't get a plate. I wish so. But I know. Oh yeah, you're going to get some later. Okay, good. That makes me happy. Thank you again. I love it. Nice. Deal good. Bye. Let me tell you guys something. It was really great to see the characters come back today. But that right there, that really got me all kind of emotional. Like that was amazing. And I am so happy. She's the best. Look at her. That is what we have been missing with character dining. Like, oh so good. And the food is amazing. Like I love it. I love it so much here. Oh, oh. Time for Minnie's dance now. You're the best Minnie. I still am so happy. Mickey's trying to get some desserts. I don't blame them either. Bye Minnie. Bye. Bye Mickey. The best ever. Oh my lord, Goofy is coming out now. And I think he's wearing a fedora. I think he's wearing a fedora. Oh, and look, here's Pluto too. He's making his way around. I think we're going to get Pluto before Goofy. There he is, Pluto. How you doing friend? Yeah, oh nice. I love it. Look at those whiskers. Oh, that's too good. I love it. Thank you pal. Can I touch the whiskers? Thank you. Okay, two amazing things have happened here so far. One, I had, I was dining with Minnie. And two, I just touched Pluto's whiskers. And they were so springy. This is the best day ever. I have been avoiding my whole entire meal. But it's okay because these are so phenomenal. Just being able to have these interactions. Now we're going to grab some broccolini. Oh yeah, much too good. I like the broccolini better than the green beans. I don't know why. I think there's like a little lemon butter on there. But it's phenomenal. Goofy, look at that hat. I love it man. It looks so great. I do. We're definitely, we're twinning it today. Except for I don't got the fancy soup. Yeah, that is so cool. Okay, get the hat. And there it is. Nice. Nice pal. I love this. It's gorgeous. Yep. Too good. You're my favorite girl. Look at Pluto making his way. Thanks pal. Oh look at all this man. Nice. Bam. Alright, now it's time for some coffee and dessert. Whenever I come to basically any of these all you care to enjoy meals, they come with free soft drinks. So I think this one is $55. So I try to get the most of it. And before I leave, I always ask for a coffee to go because I mean there's a good chance I probably would have gotten a coffee afterwards. I would have paid for it. So it's kind of like adding into it and makes it a little worthwhile. And here is my dessert. I went with the apple pie today. And it's kind of like a deconstructed apple pie. And I got my coffee. Bada bing bada boom. And that's the way. Like that is the way. There we go. All of the pies are like this. They have a s'mores one like this. And I think they have a key lime one too. And like I said, I like it. But it's kind of weird because it's like a deconstructed pie. But you have to build each bite. You got to build a bite. That was perfect. Whole entire dining experience. Minnie was fantastic. I don't know why, but every time I come in to the Hollywood and Vine, Minnie is the star of the show. I mean it is her dine. It is Minnie's dine. So she deserves to be. But thanks Minnie. Thank you so much. And I got my coffee. And I'm just feeling great. Good vibes right now. We need to hurry up and get over to see Olaf. Everything closes at 5 o'clock at Hollywood Studios including the character meet and greets. So we're really cutting it close here. As long as we're in line by 5 o'clock, we're going to be able to get in to see Olaf. So luckily we made it. Just put a couple minutes to spare. Right here is the wait. They said it's going to be 30 minutes. It actually looks longer than Mickey and Minnie. But Mickey and Minnie had a lightning lane. This has a lightning lane too. But I'm sure they're all used up for the day because it ends in literally like two minutes. Well that wasn't even 30 minutes. Hi, how are you? I really love coming in here. Thank you. It smells like suntan lotion. Olaf is one of the characters that doesn't have a photo pass or talk in front of the room. They were setting up to have one of those automatic photo passes. But I don't think it's up and running yet. So you have to take photos on your own. Please. There he is. Hello friend. Awesome. Can I set my camera up real quick? Yes. There it is. Perfect. Now we can take a photo. I love it. Thank you. It was so good. Look at this. Very good. My friends. Thank you Olaf. Thank you so much. Olaf was actually really fun. Like he really does give good warm hugs. And it's funny because he, they don't have a character intended inside the room. Like I said, there's no photo pass photographer. So if you want like a photo or something like that, you have to take it yourself. And then you actually have to set it up and kind of like station it there. So I was just like, can I set up my camera? And he was like, yeah, yeah, go. He just let me set up my camera. And then we got to hug it out. Now that we just got done meeting Olaf, right next door to Olaf's meeting is Star Tours. And I wanted to ride a ride today. And this one seems to be the only one that has a reasonable wait time. Everything else is an hour to 100 minutes. So 20 minutes with Star Tours. I think we're going to go for it. 20 minutes, not too bad. I mean, I did wait 90 minutes for Mickey and Minnie earlier today. So this is nothing. I think there's some squirrels fighting over here. I'm not too sure what those squirrels are doing on that tree there. Speaking of character meet and greets, one time during Moonlight Magic, I got to meet three Ewoks over here. And that was a cool character meet and greets. It was really awesome. Moonlight Magic always has the greatest character meet and greets. But let me know in the comments, what was your all-time favorite character meet and greets? Character-wise. I mean, it's hard for me to say because I've got to meet so many amazing ones. Boogie Boogie's up there. The Hyenas. The Hyenas was an excellent meet and greets. And that was actually from Moonlight Magic. Sweetums is really fun. I don't know, it's tough. I did get to meet Boba Fett too. I don't know, it's really tough. Oh, Steamboat Willie. That was good. Now we're making our way into Star Tours. We're going to board ourselves a Starspeeder 1000. Um... Well, that's one tour they can keep. I have no intention of getting another case of Dustin Termination. Oh, it was a computer. Well, why didn't you say so in the first place? Bye. It said 20 minutes, but that was like a walk-on. Like it was really fast actually. We picked up our flight glasses and now it's time to go on a little tour. Star Tours has like a little special smell to it too. I don't know what it is. It kind of has the same smell as Dinosaur does. Got our flight glasses on. Going to turn the AC on a little bit. You know, no smoking, glass and seat belts. Store loose articles and read the seat. It's honestly like we're on a commercial flight. Knocks the captain. I am Steve. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, it's Kylo. Oh. Oh. Bye bye. That was one of the most intense Star Tours I think I've ever found out. I just realized I walked all the way out with the glasses and I think there's a return bin down here, but I totally forgot I would have just kept on walking. Oh yeah, here's one. There we go. Very fancy. Well, that was a lot of fun. I'm glad that we got to ride Star Tours. That was a really rocky Star Tours and it was all the new scenes, so I really like it. I don't know if it comes out well on camera. I try to use a pair of 3D glasses on the lens itself. Hi friends. Oh, thank you. That is awesome, but I try to use the glasses and it doesn't work so well. And yeah, I hope you guys enjoyed the video. It was so much fun today. We got to go ride a bunch of characters. We got to go meet a bunch of characters. We went to go ride a bunch of characters. We got to meet a lot of characters. It was great to see Sully back in the park again, Mickey, Minnie, and then also Hollywood Vine. That was fantastic. Sitting with Minnie and having dinner. That's going to be like a highlight for me for a while. It was really awesome. And it's great to see characters back. And I can't wait to go to other parks now. We're going to see other characters in other parks and it's going to be great. Thanks guys. Nice. That is awesome. Yeah. Hi friend, how are you? Nice. Oh, thank you. Hi friend. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah, yeah. Absolutely. I'm ending out the vlog. You're going to say bye. Oh, hey. Bye bye guys. Bye. That was a lot of fun. I'm going to take a bunch of photos there, but I love it. And yeah, so that's it. I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye.
