 Hey friends and Merry Christmas tonight. We are hanging out at the Magic Kingdom. It is December 23rd So that means they're gonna be doing all the holiday festivities today Mickey's once upon a Christmas time parade the special Christmas fireworks are gonna be later on tonight and Disney surprised Everybody and opened up the Walt Disney World Railroad for the first time in nearly five years So I figured we come on out ride some rides eat some food and have a merry Magic Kingdom kind of day Anyhoo's let's go do this It is so awesome to be at the Magic Kingdom this close to Christmas I'm sure it's gonna be super busy in there But like I said, they're gonna be doing all the Christmas festivities The parade is gonna be two times today one at 12 o'clock and one at 3 o'clock And then also the Walt Disney Railroad is open and I cannot wait to ride it and hear the new soundtrack and go Underneath Tron. It's gonna be amazing Normally if you wanted to see the special Christmas parade and fireworks and stage shows You would have to buy a ticket to Mickey's very merry Christmas party But as it gets closer to Christmas usually around the 23rd They start doing it for free all throughout the day for every single guest and I love that And there it is the Walt Disney World Railroad. I am so excited to ride this actually I think we're gonna go in and look at Cinderella Castle first and then come back down here and Go for a scenic route around the Magic Kingdom. There it goes. It's taking off right now. I Love it. I'm so happy to see this. Look at everyone waving and excited Merry Christmas Seriously a lot of people always tell you don't go to Disney during the holidays It's super crazy, but I have to say I love it even if you can't ride any rides Just being here it just feels so amazing and we're gonna be checking the wait times just to see what it's like But with everything opening up in the parade and the fireworks It's gonna make it a little bit less like busy for some of the attractions If you open up the my Disney experience app You'll see that they're doing Minnie's wonderful Christmas time fireworks tonight at 8 15 And then they also have Mickey's once upon a Christmas time parade at 3 p.m So it's also cool to be able to see the Christmas parade during the day and they also had one at 12 But I already missed that one. They also are doing Mickey's most merriest celebration next show is 6 15 and 7 25 So I'm just excited to be here for the holidays. I Just checked some of the wait times and it's not that bad actually I thought it was gonna be a lot worse like Big Thunder Mountain is 80 minutes and Space Mountain was 70 minutes But the other day yesterday I went to Hollywood Studios and there were six attractions with a hundred plus wait time So 80 and 60 minutes. That's not too bad And also I want to throw this out there if I was interested in buying genie plus today It cost twenty nine dollars twenty nine dollars for genie plus today. That is a lot of money Luckily there's not gonna be a long wait for the railroad and it's actually a pretty long ride It starts off where you can actually board right here on Main Street station It takes just about 18 minutes to go all the way around They also have a boarding station in Frontierland and Fantasyland and it just literally goes all the way around the Magic Kingdom I'm gonna try my best to show a little bit of everything We're definitely gonna be watching the three o'clock parade because I cannot wait to see that during the day We're gonna see Santa the toy soldiers the the reindeer. It's gonna be so beautiful But right now I think we have to go ride the railroad and we need to make one stop before that I Had to grab myself a cup of coffee because the most relaxing feeling is Riding the Walt Disney World Railroad with a cup of coffee in hand I'm not too sure if they still let you do that because I know they changed it on a couple of things But I'm bringing it with me just in case I Also didn't go to Starbucks because the wait time to get your Starbucks coffee is probably an hour right now It is so busy in there So instead I mobile ordered a coffee from Casey's corner and I got it within like two minutes So that's a little hack if you need coffee and you can't wait in the Starbucks line just mobile order from Casey's It's gonna be good. It's Jaffrey's All right, let's head on up to the train station and it's been a while since I've been up here I think the last time I was up here. I was watching the fireworks from up here, but the train station itself wasn't open I'm so happy. It's finally back though. It's a great feeling And I couldn't pick a better train for our first ride back then Walter E. Disney himself Look at that. Isn't this so amazing? I'm so happy it's back Look at all that steam coming out right there. It truly is a beautiful sight to see like it's amazing that it's finally back Walter E. Disney Alright, I guess it's all aboard. We got to hop on now Wow, here we go. Look at this First time in so many years and I'm excited and I got my coffee with me Got the coffee. I'm ready to go and I'm excited You know a lot of people just think this is just like a train ride But there's animatronics and you go all the way around the magic kingdom You get to see a lot of cool things the narration like they're gonna be actually talking and pointing things out That's actually new so I don't even know what they're gonna say and plus I can't wait to see the new part of Tron like where do we go? Like I mean, I'm sure we're going in the tunnel, but what if some happens? Woooo! Wow, that's great Bye! Bye! Bye! Oh That was great Here I am so believe it when I say that around here anything is awesome See what I mean, hope you packed a compass because that folks is the sound of adventure Adventure land, I should say. Yonder is big thunder mountain and it's runaway mine trains Well, just a hand is Where you'll find prayer rabbit in his lap and play We've reached frontier land station everyone so sit tight and hold those horses until we come It's interesting that they still said prayer rabbit and splash Mao in sense It's officially closing next month and they're gonna have to redo that part again once it opens up for Tiana's bio So I'm kind of shocked with that and now we are at frontier station You can get on and off as much as you want and I think you're just gonna stay on we're in it for the whole loop Those of you who've been riding with me for a spell already know how much I love mining this railroad We'll never forget you Big Thunder Mountain Big Thunder Mountains coming up We have barbed wire there Look at this. I hope we catch a train coming by Look at that Favorite leg of the journey blush wilderness calm waters and untamed beauty folks. We're in nature's wonderland. Isn't it something? Just think of the extraordinary things to see and do in these woods Piking trails bird calls fireflies and starry nights Setting out for adventure at sunrise Telling the tale around a campfire that night Enchanted forest of fantasy land where magic I Hear that My shadow to stay put Peter Pan's on the roof Here shadow take a bath. We really must find some stronger We're coming down the station is also your gateway to the rest of fantasy land And it's a train seption right now. Look at that. Please wait until the train has come to a complete stop Gather your troubling pins unicycles and other Here's the Lily There are four different trains here at Walt Disney World you have Walt Lily Rory and Roger But Roger is not here right now So the only ones they have running is Walt Lily and Roy I believe and it was cool that we just got to see Lily Sitting back there. It looks like she's about to emerge on to the tracks and Condo station here in fantasy land Now we're about to leave fantasy land station and we're gonna be coming upon the new section of Tron I moved up so I can be on this side because Tron's gonna be on this side, but I'm excited I think we're gonna go into a tunnel and gonna hear some new narration like I said I love this railroad about as much as a songbird loves the morning, but I'm still awed by the rockets in a baseball 7-5 Unidentified users detected an upload conduit area Calculated locomotive-maintaining trajectory intervention not required Right Look at that I did for Tron to actually open up. That's gonna be amazing We got a people mover on the right a train in the middle and a monorail on the left How cool is that? What a trifecta of transportation? Settle up because this here's front take our trip around the Magic Kingdom is almost complete I can't thank you enough for spending part of your day with me And I hope you've enjoyed your journey as much as I've appreciated being a part of it We're now approaching our most charming destination Main Street, USA A place where the only thing sweeter than the town is the trees After stop Wasn't that just so awesome. I loved it and I'm gonna be doing it again right now It's super crowded. I mean a train holds a lot of people so you don't have to wait a long time I didn't wait any time at all and it's just about time for the three o'clock parade So we got to go find a spot. Oh Boy lots of people are lined up already. Hopefully we're gonna be able to find a good spot I mean, I've already seen the parade like when I came for Mickey's very Merry Christmas party, but I think it's so much cooler during the day So we're gonna see if we can find a little spot to stand Looks like I got a perfect spot to watch the parade. Look at that right here My mom to show her the parade Time and it was so cool because the characters were coming right up to me I have some photos I was taking but I put the camera down because I was getting so excited I wish I filmed it for you guys But I was enjoying all the amazing Interactions and it was also cool to smell everything because all the different floats actually have a different smell like ginger bread Peppermint and stuff like that But I have to say out of all of it the toy soldiers a little marching ones that is my favorite I mean, they are so cool and also the reindeer's because they got their paws like that, you know Look at some of these awesome pictures. I got to take look it I love it. Don't be came right up to me and then the reindeer's came right up to me And I was like, oh my lord. I don't know if I filmed a lot of that. I was just too excited I was grabbing my camera Now I'm gonna make my way over to Tomorrowland because I want to see if they're doing the totally Tomorrowland Christmas and also if they have the holiday overlay on Space Mountain You never know and if they are gonna do it, I'm definitely gonna ride Space Mountain That is my favorite like overlay of all time Oh, they are actually doing a totally Tomorrowland Christmas. Look at that You got jokes. What a monsters eat on a cold week of night Elf of Ed Shump Don't think about it too much In a stitch and it snowed a little bit very cool. Now, let's check out Space Mountain Fingers crossed. Maybe they maybe they might be doing it. I know they do it in the past I remember I wrote it one time on Christmas Day Oh my lord, it is the holiday version and they are doing it Stand by is 70 minutes. It looks like it might be longer than 70 minutes though Recently Space Mountain when switched up their policies on bringing cameras on now you need to have a GoPro or something that's attached to you. So I'm kind of in luck. I Never want to actually sit in the front row except for when it is the holiday overlay So I think I'm gonna try the front row I might sound a little bit different because the audio isn't the best when it comes to the GoPro But we're about to head on in look at this I'm so excited. This is my all-time favorite And I probably need a little practice with the whole wrist strap But I did my best there and I loved it so much and now I think it's time to get something to eat I was lucky enough to grab a last-minute reservation at Tony's Town Square The reason I'm excited to eat at Tony's Town Square is because I'm gonna ask to sit outside And we can watch the sunset and then also see all the lights turn on and I think that's just gonna be beautiful It's so cool to just sit on the balcony here and just look at all the views and look even move on here Well, that's so fancy Out here. It's so beautiful and plus don't forget they just add a cocktail to the menu So I think I might fancy myself a little cocktail Seriously don't look at this we can watch the train actually coming into station right there That's awesome Got the sunset happening and then everybody just going around enjoying the park the lights are turning on This is a good seat. Please snoping at my table right now. How crazy is this? What an experience to have holy moly. I don't know if you guys can see it or not, but it is it is totally snoping right now I won Oh, I would love that. I mean if you wanted to join me, I mean Well, thank you I think Moshe would have appreciate that that is awesome All right, thanks, I mean if you want to join I mean, you know Oh, all right, well, thank you a Lot of people give Tony's a lot of slack because of their food But being able to sit out here on the outside patio is one of the best dining experiences I've ever had at Walt Disney World like just being able to look out and see people going about enjoying their days Watching them turn the corner and seeing the castle for the first time It's really amazing and I love it It's like the perfect place for people watching and now we get to watch all of the holiday decorations light up This is astounding. I love it so much Like I mentioned they have cocktails now and look at some of these drinks They have a little Italy cocktail with knob Creek and then they have a lemon cello sidecar And then also a little Bellini and then of course they always had wine and beer But I think I'm gonna come get myself a little Italy cocktail be a little fancy and then also with the food I'm always a big fan of the seasonal soup because usually it's Italian wedding So I think I'm gonna get that and the classic spaghetti and meatballs a little spaghetti a little meatball about a bing about a bing about a boom And here we go the little Italy cocktail. I cannot wait to try this. It looks a little fancy for sure. Look at this Cheers That's good It's got a little kick to it Just as I was sipping on my little Italy cocktail My soup has arrived and I got the Italian wedding. Look at this. Lots of meatballs in there. Let's see any noodles though I only see just a little bit of the noodles, but at least I got some extra meatballs. That's very nice and We're gonna dive in It's super cold here in Florida I mentioned the other day in Hollywood Studios that there's a falling of guano warning whenever it gets to a certain Temperature of Juana's stiffen up and they drop from the trees So it basically rains at Juana's and they can cause damage and they can hurt people and tomorrow Christmas Eve It's supposed to get down to the 30s. Even though right now. I feel like it's at the 40s or 50s So a nice hot soup sounds good and we're gonna dive right on in and got a little meatball One meatball I'm also pretty sure that these are sausage in there and this is such good soup I missed the bread service though. I wish they would do it I mean you can order garlic bread for the table But they used to have a really good bread service that came out with everything and now they switch it and just add that to the menu So we get to have a little soup a little cocktail about a bang about a boom I'm gonna try to get some noodles though. I'm missing the noodle game. There it is. That's the stuff Now it is time for the main event and I went with the spaghetti and meatballs But I asked for the penne when it's fancy penne. Look at this. I like it. This actually looks really good I had never subbed out the pasta before but I'm kind of glad I did Let's try the pasta first Very good pasta very good pasta thing I don't like so much is a sauce needs a little bit better sauce It comes with two meatballs here, so let's break open one of these meatballs There we go Oh wait, there we go, and I think this menu item itself is twenty six dollars The soup is nine dollars, you know, honestly, I could probably just come here and get like two orders of soup and I'd be happy I Just realized I keep calling this penne, but it's capinelli And it's really good like I like it a lot definitely recommend changing out the noodles Good meatball good soup good cocktail, I'm living a little dream right here living the dream. Look at the view I Thought about getting some dessert But I'm not a big fan of canolis and that's only tiramisu Tiramisu that they have so I decided on just another cup of coffee some coffee on the poor Chattone's town square Another Christmas time and I must agree with my grandchildren. It's just about the neatest time of the year One of the nicest things about the holiday season is exchanging greetings with our many friends For these messages from all over the world represent the true spirit of Christmas in many different ways That was delicious everything I was looking for in a nice little pre-Christmas meal and Boy did it get cold. Holy moly. It is freezing outside and I am wearing my shorts At least I have my performance hoodie, but yeah, it definitely dropped very much. I Wanted to come and see the snow on Main Street, USA Look at it so much snow and it's cold enough that you would believe that it's actually snow I mean right now. I'm calling it snow instead of snow actually. Holy moly. Look at this They are not shutting off the snow on Main Street It is just pumping and pumping and pumping and I am here for it. Oh, it feels great Hey, how are you? Looks like I didn't time it right and I missed the Christmas show on the castle But I feel like I got a lot done today And I'm not properly dressed at the moment to be in this cold weather and plus it got super busy I feel like everyone park hopped and maybe came to Magic Kingdom because this is super crowded right now. Holy moly With that, I think we are calling it a night here I was thinking about staying for the Christmas fireworks, but it's too cold and I'm having like an amazing day today So I'm very happy about it. Merry Christmas to all of you guys I know I'm not too sure if I'm gonna be making another video before Christmas actually comes So I just wanted to say it now and thank you guys for an amazing year so far I'm sure we're gonna have more videos before New years, but I just wanted to be a little bit ahead of time and saying how much I appreciate you and Especially during the holiday season and my birthday. It's been incredible. So I hope you guys enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye Gracie Where are you? Where is my greeting? I missed you. I missed you. You still got presents underneath the tree Yes, yes
