 Hey friends today We are hanging out in Disney Springs and we are gonna be trying the new cookie the month at Gideon's bakehouse And I am so excited because they have new coffees and cake slices all for Valentine's Day And then on top of that Disney Springs is celebrating soulfully for Black History Month And they have some great dishes at all different locations So I figured we come on down eat some snacks do some shopping and have a fancy Disney Springs kind of day Anywho's let's go do this This is probably the earliest I've ever been to Disney Springs It is 10 a.m. And nothing opens until 11, so it's kind of cool to be able to walk around and See it's so empty Gideon's bakehouse actually has two cookies of the month for February. They have the eternal flame Which is kind of like a spicy cookie. It's a chocolate cherry spicy cookie And I'm not the biggest fan of spicy cookies, but I've had it in the past, but they have a new strawberry cookie That's like a cookie. It's like a box of chocolates, and I've never had that before so I'm excited to do a little cookie comparison and go to summer house on the lake the new cookie spot and See which cookie is the best cookie for me in the month of February, and I'm excited It's gonna be fun because they're both good spots Honestly since we're down here Maybe we should just get the cookie at summer house by the lake first if the cookie bar is open looks like it is looks like They got a line too. Oh cookie bar entrance this way Now just like I said before the cookie competition. This is just friendly. They're both great spots They both have good cookies, but I just kind of fancy you call myself a cookie connoisseur And we're not gonna just base it off taste alone I think this time we're gonna be doing theming so like if they have a special cookie or the theming of it and also Selection and then the cookie so we'll give a point each and whoever had the best two out of three Winds are the best out of three Look at all the cookies in here. They've got peanut butter chocolate walnut birthday cake oatmeal scotchy Which is my personal favorite cookie here, but we're not getting that cookie today They got a cream circle cookie here. They got an apple oatmeal, which looks amazing Look at that and then a lemon cookie and then they also have a special cookie of the month It's a red velvet cookie for Valentine's Day I think I might get the red velvet cookie and actually looks fancy and this fudge bomb looks nice Yo summer house on the lake is pulling some stuff right now I thought I would have to find like a cookie that was kind of relatable to Gideons But now we've got our seasonal cookie off our seasonal cookie. They got a seasonal cookie. They got a seasonal cookie and it looks pretty amazing Okay, I talked about theming before you know Gideons is amazing theming But look they actually made this red velvet cookie into a heart shape it looked like I think they look they get in It's so soft. It's basically falling apart in my hands. Like I it's so delicate like I'm afraid like I can't even break This cookie you ready watch oh It's literally just so Soft and delicious. Oh, I'm lucky. I've got a little napkin here, but anyway, here we go. Oh, wow Man oh man, this is an amazing cookie so soft so full of flavor like it's literally falling apart It's so good. I love it and the theming was great I can't wait to compare this cookie to The internal flame or the eternal flame over at Gideons so we'll make our way up there and Afterwards we'll break it down by category and see who has the best cookie of the month for February and Like I said when I say best cookie of the month, I'm talking about my personal preference You know what I mean? I'm a Gideon stan But like you know like I said last time I came here Gideons had the better cookie summer house on the lake didn't have the better cookie But then I came and got an oatmeal scotchy from somewhere else on the lake and that cookie was one of the best cookies I've ever had in my life and now this cookie It's impressive. So two times. I've had great cookies from summer house on the lake two times Now we found like I'm the cookie monster mixed with Count Dracula do cookie I think I'm gonna start coming to Disney Springs earlier in the morning. This is amazing It's not crowded. It's beautiful. Look at that. You can see the cars driving in the water the boat there Nobody's on the bridge This is nice This weekend has been amazing because I was at mega con and I had a little meet and greet at the Roosevelt's booth And then we had Marsha Isley and I went to the Pro Bowl Well, I was I went to the Pro Bowl so I'm a little late with the cookie the month update But I'm glad I got to come here and I'm glad I'm wearing this fancy shirt It's a the Roosevelt from the D 100, but it's a special color edition I think this was at Hallmark or one of the stores and it kind of fits perfect for Valentine's Day You got Mickey and Minnie dancing and it's red. I like it's very fancy Here it is Gideons bakehouse. I have no idea what the line is gonna be like on the other side of this wall I'm kind of crossing my fingers and hopefully it's not that busy Okay, it's a long line It's a very very long line. Holy moly. I Am excited to try the new strawberry cookie at Gideons All I've ever had was the spicy eternal flame one and now we've got something a little bit a little bit on my side So I mean this is gonna be cool. This is gonna be a good cookie competition We made it to the back of the line probably about 25 30 minutes from here, I'd say And here it is the menu for February at Gideons bakehouse I love the artwork on the front and I love how they give you a little story about the character too and the cookie And as you can see we have cookies the strawberry delight strawberry cookie filled with dark chocolates and covered in strawberry infused sugar and then the Eternal flame here. It is a dark chocolate cherry cooked Cookie laced with ancho cayenne and cinnamon and then topped with chocolate covered cherries And then they also have the fire a nice cold brew So I think we're gonna get all the cold brews and I think we'll get the cold brew and the cookies We made it into Gideons. It was just about a 35 minute wait and Yeah, look at it in here cookies made from scratch and the recipe that took 15 years to perfect I love the inside here. I love all the paintings and then they've got a lot of merchandise down here I never get to show you guys a full kind of tour of Gideons itself But it's really cool. The theming is on point You can take a look at all of the cookie flavors Gideons has to offer and right there is the eternal flame along with my personal favorite The banana walnut chocolate chip and then a couple more cookies on this side and then the cake slices, too They always got good cake slices. The selection here is good. Look at all the books up there, too. Look at all them books We have officially obtained the goods. I've got the fire in ice cold brew We've got the new strawberry delight It's basically a box full of Valentine's chocolates in a cookie Which I'm excited to try this one. I've never had before and then we have the Eternal flame a dark chocolate cherry topped cookie laced with ancho Cayenne and cinnamon. Look at that. Yo, we got so many cookies. We roll in cookie deep here Look at that. Oh now. I think it's moving My camera is moving. It's doing its thing. Okay. All right, let's get to the cookie business Let's dive in. Oh, which one should I start with? I'm gonna go this one. I'm gonna go. No Yes, yes, I'm gonna go eternal flame because I've already had it before and I'm I'm excited to try the strawberry one This one I'm not the biggest fan of because I don't like spicy But I appreciate the amount of effort that went into making this cookie like it's it's good because I like the Cherries and the chocolate but once that ancho in cayenne kicks in it kicks in so here we go. Look at this and That's how the cookie crumbles Solid look at that. You want to make sure you get a nice spot with the the cherry in it right there Can you see it? It's like a chocolate covered cherry. That's the bite So here we go This cookie is like a drama series because you get all these different flavors kind of like emotions at first You try that sweet delicious chocolate and then you get the Cherry fruity flavor and then you get hit with the ancho pepper and then it's a little bit spicy And then the cayenne kicks in and you start getting maybe a little teary-eyed and then bottom boom You finish up with a warm touch of cinnamon to calm you down if that sounds like an adventurous cookie I don't know what to tell you but I'm not that big of a spicy guy. You know what I mean I'm not spicy like that It's starting to kick in the heat is starting to creep in I put it out of mild not mild medium Medium because I like things mild and this is a little bit too spicy for me now It's time for the strawberry delight strawberry delight This is like a box full of Valentine's chocolates in a cookie and yeah, we got to break it open Let me get a zoom in there we go break the cookie open This looks so good. Look at the strawberry on the inside. I'm excited Wow To be honest, I was not expecting that cookie to be as good as it is like I Was thinking like everyone's gonna love this cookie It's just me that doesn't like this cookie because it's spicy, but holy moly. This is a great cookie This is phenomenal Gideon stepped up their game and now now I'm gonna make a perfect sweet and spicy combo because instead of getting the chocolate one I'm gonna get a little strawberry with a little fire and ice cold brew. That's how you do it I really really thought there for a second that summer house on the lake was gonna have a chance because I knew I wasn't Gonna like that spicy, but this cookie is amazing. I Can't even believe it. I think my straw blew away just flew away with the wind So I'm gonna have to take the lid off and drink the coffee kind of from the top here So I'm gonna take a little bit of a cookie little strawberry cookie and then a little bit of a copy Oh I don't think I should have drank it off the top because it's like drinking a floater Like a shot on the top of a mixed drink. I think I might have gotten all the spice there. I don't know Yep. Nope not doing that again Personally, I love the strawberry delight, but I appreciate the complexity of the eternal flame And I can live without the fire a nice coffee but This right here was such a sleeper. I had no idea it was gonna be as good as it was now I have to make a decision. I have to decide which one was better Summerhouse on the lake or Gideon's bakehouse, and I think I'm gonna compare it to that one not that one To be honest, I don't want summer house on the lake to think I don't like their cookies because I like their cookies They're good cookies, but I gotta give it to Gideon's that strawberry cookie was just too good I mean I loved it red velvet cookie was better than the eternal flame the summer house on the lake Red velvet cookie was better than the internal flame in my opinion But the strawberry delight was better than the red velvet cookie for them Maybe next month. Like I said, I really do like their cookies, but if I'm doing it a cookie by cookie comparison I mean I gotta I gotta be legit. I mean I'm not I mean I gotta I gotta I gotta do what the cookie heart says You know now if Gideon's gets into the oatmeal cookie game I don't think they're gonna stand a chance against summer house on the lake because they're oatmeal cookies like the oatmeal Scotchie in the apple oatmeal I think it all rock Gideon's world and I haven't eaten the apple meal until the day I can use it as a comparison because I feel like that's gonna be a heavy contender But now we're not for the cookie business under the cookie business It's time to actually go get some soulfully food soulfully soul food At the hangar bar across from Gideon's they have a nice little menu for celebrate soulfully and Chef Daphne is actually preparing this nice fried pork shoulder dish that you can come get for the month of February This actually looks really good. I might actually make my way back over But I want to head towards polite pig they have something there and we got to come back this way Gideon's line is still looking pretty long. Look at that That's crazy I'm not too sure what my plans are later on but I might just carry this vlog over it might go to Epcot might go to Magic Kingdom Hollywood Studios. Who knows? Universal it's really great living in Florida because after you get done hanging out in the parks all day Like me being a youtuber or content creator I just go back out to the parks to hang out with my friends So I might just carry this vlog along and bring it along with you guys after we get all the nice snacks here at Disney Springs. I Always like coming out to the water and watching the Ampicars actually drive around Disney Springs Look how beautiful it is today. It's a nice day, isn't it? Might be a little bit rain Those clouds aren't looking the happiest. Looks like we got some angry clouds in the area Also, I want to stop in the Amorettes too. They always have specials going on for the month You know, I like Disney Springs I feel like a lot of other like parks should probably get on it, you know like monthly specials It gives people a reason to come returning. I've been coming to Gideon's now I think three years maybe well since the very beginning since the very first opening month at Gideon's I was there for the cookie of the month, and I've been there ever since then so like I said, it's a great concept Amorettes have a proud snacks petite cake. Look at that like the proud family. I would assume yeah Oh, yeah, it is the proud family layers of chocolate chiffon peanut butter mousse and honey roasted peanuts It's $22 for that cake though down here. You can actually see the chef that created the dish Inspired by her favorite show the proud family it looks so unique. I'm gonna see what it looks like in real life in real life Look at them back there actually making chocolate covered strawberries and cakes for Valentine's Day coming up and here is the proud family cake with the proud snacks petite cake. It looks really cool doesn't it? $22 and I already got a bag full of cookies. I got a bag full of cookies I Think I'm just gonna go back to the polite pig and try the poor shoulder sliders But I do want to stop at sprinkles to get Gracie her pup cakes So we might as well cut that way like a we really are just doing like a little figure eight here There it is sprinkles. Holy moly. There's actually people inside those pup cakes must be really catching on Oh These pup cakes Oh, wait, are those Literally was like you have Valentine's Day pup cakes. Oh, okay, if I buy them, could I just buy them here? Oh, yeah, yeah, I Got so excited because I thought that they had like Valentine's Day pup cakes But I got Gracie her pup cakes and now we can add it to the bag We can add it to the bag. Cup cakes have been obtained I'm actually a little worried because I don't know if We are gonna have enough time to do the hangar bar. The lines have been pretty big like long today like honestly, it's Not a holiday weekend or anything. It just seems Busy down at the Springs The line for Gideons is still exactly where it's at. They didn't go to the virtual queue yet So all these people are probably waiting at least an hour at least an hour to get those cookies We're gonna have to save hangar bar for another day. The wait is just a little bit too long at the moment I want to head home before this rain comes go see Gracie and then maybe head out to a park Oh, we gotta give Gracie her pup cakes too. There she is. Guess what I got for you I got some pup cakes Yes, you want one right now. Yeah, we can give you one right now. You want one? Oh Good girl, here we go Yo, Gracie loves these pup cakes for real though. She always flips them over watch. You won't eat the top. She'll flip that over Watch It's a good girl. Yeah, you have a good girl go ahead eat your pup cake Speaking of pup cakes look at this beautiful artwork someone made of Gracie watching me Eating pup cakes on the carpet like how cool is that? Thank you so much red roach intrusion they came to Megacon and I think she was one of the vendors there and she brought it over and I love it So I wanted to show you guys I can't wait to hang it up on my wall Thank you again so much Gracie looks amazing and the pup cakes look so good. You did a great job Now that Gracie got her pup cakes. I decided to make a little quick trip to Epcot ma over in Mexico They actually have a special drink for fessel of the arts. That's not on the menu It's a very like artsy margarita So I want to go get that and show you because I think it's interesting to have something that Nobody knows about like I don't think anybody is talking about this drink and then also maybe ride a rider too or get something to eat Maybe a little late dinner. Who knows? There she is our spaceship birth Honestly today turned out to be a beautiful day and as long as the rain stays away I think we might catch a beautiful sunset a beautiful Epcot sunset. I Brought a hoodie with me because it might drop down to the 40s tonight 40s in Epcot. Can you believe it? I mean I'm used to just like, you know warm hot sweaty Epcot days But I'm taking advantage. I'm breathing it all in. I'm taking advantage of this cold weather Always a nice shot when you walk into the park or when you walk into world showcase and catch the monorail going by Look at that. I Think I'm just gonna make my way right on in the world showcase and go get the margarita I was talking about over at the Festival of the Arts booth in Mexico. It's really cool because it changes colors That's why I want to get it before it starts getting dark out. I want to see all the colors The margarita that I was talking about is called the art grita like an art margarita And you can see it's not on the menu And the only way to get it is to go up to the kiosk here and tell them the Special password which is on Instagram. It's on the covers Instagram You got to find the password and then you get this special margarita that has like has special effects So we're gonna get it. I Got the secret drink The secret drink Here it is the fancy margarita look at how cool this is comes with a little pink brush and this is the name of the Margarita itself and the art is done by Dom Corona, which happens to be the password This is not on the menu over there like I said and when you get up there You got to say Dom Corona and that's how they'll give you the drink no exceptions You got to know the password and then you get to make it change colors. Look at this I'm not gonna lie. I thought that these I thought that the paintbrush was a straw So for a while there I was like this And nothing was coming up, but yeah, it's just a paintbrush. So yeah, now we got to try it. I Was perusing Lecava's Instagram and I came across this secret who's ready for the secrets Dom Corona Margarita and look at what it does it has special effects Turns it into like a NFP How cool is that? You can actually buy this cup and you got to say the password. It's Dom Corona I also love how they actually put the little artwork on there with the clothespin You get to keep the clothespin to you get to keep the cup and the clothespin and the paintbrush I keep sending it down because I think I'm gonna sip out of the straw I I literally probably went to go drink out of this paintbrush at least five times Enough of the margarita business. Look at how beautiful this sunset is right now a nice little cozy sunset here at Epcot like I said, oh wait a second. We can't even walk that way. I gotta go this way. I was about to walk right over that way I don't know what they got going on over there. I Decided to backtrack and since we had a little margarita So I have to come into Mexico and go ride the grand fiesta tour This is my go-to ride especially cuz you can always count on it being like a 10 minute wait Maybe hopefully it's a 10 minute wait. It is pretty busy in the park. Look at the cover over there. I Feel like this is like the only time I've ever seen like a wait wait. I mean, it's not too bad probably like 10 minutes, but usually I'm like God so nice to just walk right on I Gotta come back and eat here too. Look at how beautiful that is And that's real fire in those candles none of that fake stuff here at St. Anne Helen only the good stuff We're lucky enough to get the front row look at this lucky boat number 27 I'm excited to see how this camera does actually in the low light too. I think I have a low life function This looks like a good time. I wish the boat's backed up and you get stuck here Look at those high-tech fireworks right there beautiful The grand fiesta tour was so nice and I think the new camera did pretty well I was trying to be quiet so I can see how the audio was picking up But now we made our way back up to the front And I think we're gonna start making our way out and maybe hit up a ride on the way out I didn't get any dinner tonight yet, but I ate a lot of cookies and I got some cookies at home You can count on good figment for a five-minute wait, so that's where we're heading next. I Feel like Epcot. I mean not Epcot I feel like figment is actually the king of the low wait time I mean grand fiesta tour is always gonna be very popular because it's in the Mexico pavilion But I forget I think sometimes people forget that good old figments over here and Professor Wayne Zalinski Also, don't forget about Buzz Lightyear. He's here too. Look at him there chilling out Same back there good old buzz You can help capture your imagination wrong doc. It's not about listening with your ears. It's about listening with your Imagination But now I've completely lost my train of thought Our research shows that spells often trigger the imagination This is not a good time It's all with a good time to use your imagination I love it Yeah, I'll take some more I think we're getting stuck Riding journey into imagination was a good idea now I think we're gonna head into the land and see what's soaring or the land is gonna be at Well, it's good to know living with the land has a zero minute wait I don't know about soaring, but we'll see look at that. Nobody down there. They're all in awesome planet Look at that MTQ If we wait any longer, we might be able to get a boat to ourselves. I Think we're even gonna get the front row maybe and even our own boat actually. Oh I can smell the water and hear it already. It's time to live with the land It's so dark on living with the land right now they turn the lights off and it's kind of scary Look at it back there You can't even see the sea bass Would you look at all those sunflowers there soon they're gonna be taller than me Can't wait to keep checking on those and the cannoli There is somebody inside currently Working inside the lab inside the land look at that Looks like he's got a sample there That's kind of cool I Think we got a lot accomplished today And now time to head home and call it a night and see Gracie girl Also, I got a little surprise cookie review for you at the end of the video. So stay tuned for that but now it's time to Head home and now we are back home It was a fun day at Epcot and like I mentioned I have a surprise cookie review because when I was at Disney Springs I ran into some friends who actually own a little bakery up in New Jersey and They have like Disney inspired Treats it's called once upon a pastry and you can find them on Instagram Once upon a pastry and they do custom cookies cakes and more a little figment and then also they did a Little like art For festival of the arts, so I thought that was really cool.
