 Hey friends tonight We are hanging out at the Magic Kingdom and Walt Disney World just announced that they are closing down all of their parks and Disney Springs effective tonight because of Hurricane Ian So I figured we come on out ride some rides see what it's like pre-hurricane in the parks check out all of the different Wait times and crowd levels and just have a beautiful Magic Kingdom kind of day. Anyhoo's Let's go do this Today is September 27th and like I said Disney has announced that they're closing down the park September 28th and the 29th So it's gonna be really fun to see what the crowds are gonna be like today The park does close at six because there's a Mickey's not so scary Halloween party But as you can see from the clouds up there, it doesn't look too bad But that can change real quick the hurricane is supposed to be here probably tomorrow morning It's actually 444 so we only have an hour and 20 minutes in the park because like I said it closes at 6 o'clock because there's a party tonight So it's gonna be interesting to see what we can get done in just an hour and 20 minutes But I'm just happy I was planning on coming tomorrow to see what it's like But Disney's being very cautious when it comes to this hurricane. They said it could be a category 3 or 4 So who knows I hope everyone is taking the proper precautions and everyone stays safe and healthy and Yeah, we're gonna just see how it goes for tonight A lot of people will tell you they love coming out to the parks pre-hurricane because the wait times usually are really low And if you take a look here space mountain is a 25 minute wait Tomorrowland Speedway 15 minutes people move her five minutes. This looks pretty interesting Oh, I mentioned is 40 minutes though and then pirates is 20 minutes picked under mountain is 40 splash is 50 So not too bad This isn't my first time actually going through a hurricane here at Walt Disney World In fact, I've been living down in Florida for many of years I've been through a lot of hurricanes and one thing I've noticed Disney is very accommodating for people that want to travel from the coast Inwards and they do special hurricane rates on some of their rooms They do sometimes reduce the price on some of the dining experiences and it's really cool Just to be able to be here you feel a lot of people literally travel from like Tampa and stuff like that and they come Into the center they come to Disney like to actually get away from the storm and I just hope everyone is prepared, you know One of the things I love best right now is definitely the cool weather that we have. There's a little breeze in the air It's not too humid out and it's been a while since I got to experience this So I think we're gonna do some of the rides that are outdoors, you know Maybe some people move her or big Thunder Mountain. They all seem like they had a low wait time. So we'll go explore. I Did bring my trusty umbrella with me today just in case it rains and there's probably like a 99% chance that it's gonna rain and also I'm wearing my crocs So that way I don't have to walk around with some wet shoes because no one likes wet shoes. No one's got time for wet shoes This is something brand new that I have never seen before. Look at this It's a Cinderella castle mural of memories 50 or 5g zones powered by AT&T 5g picture yourself here place your Disney photo pass photo on Cinderella castle scan the QR code to get started Look at that. I wonder if you just stand right there. Is that like a drainage cap or is that a place to stand? I don't know, but this is really nifty. I'm gonna see what it does. I don't know. Let's see if we just scan like this But I mean, I don't know what it does though. I Can't figure out how that works, but hopefully someone will let me know in the comments Or I'll come back and try it. Like I said, it only got an hour to go. So on to big Thunder Mountain I'm definitely thinking maybe we should get something to eat too I'm not too sure what I want to get to eat. Maybe something from sleepy hollow or we'll try to see what reservations they have Why is this guy in the bushes? Maybe he lost something Oh, there it is big Thunder mountain. It says it's a 30-minute wait But honestly, I don't think it is a 30-minute wait because I just see the people walking right on So that's gonna be really awesome. We'll see though. Oh Yeah, if you can see people just walking in up there, this is definitely not gonna be a 30-minute wait Let's see what time it is now. Oh 518 so 518 we'll see how long it is Seven minutes, I think I'll take that any day and also I want to go to the world famous gold dust saloon Look at this the world famous gold dust saloon pure wine cigars liquors cold lager Always on hand open day and night rain or shine. Oh clever And here comes our train looks like we are going to be I Be hardy I be hardy hardy hardy We're gonna be riding the wildest ride in the wilderness during a hurricane warning. I like the sound of that Boy here we go What's beyond big Thunder Mountain That was definitely the perfect ride to go to I feel so Energized right now really get your heart pumping. You know really get you're going. Is that a red card? Look at that. It's one of the old-time cars for the pants for the fans passes That took up a lot of our time so we got to get moving along here But I'm also thinking just because I can't stay here with the magic kingdom doesn't mean I can't park hop So maybe we might actually park hop and go to a different park I mean, I would stay here all night if it wasn't for the party I'm doing the mad dash to get to another attraction. You guys know what I mean You know about that dash or you just because you can't run in the parks But you get speed walk, you know speed walk trying to get there, you know I'm literally rushing over to Tomorrowland because there's one more ride I want to ride today before we're gonna run out of time and I only have five minutes five minutes to get to Tomorrowland I'm like speed walking through the park and I just hear the song like I'm in a hurry to get things done Oh, wow Russian Russian till that's no fun. I hear that as I like that. I'm like power walking, you know And the last ride of the day is gonna be the astral orbiter I just thought it'd be cool to go really high up in the sky and look at all of the weather conditions It takes a while to actually load the queue for the astral orbiter because you have to go up in elevators But it's really cool because on the inside you get to see the Inspection like the elevator inspection and the address is really awesome. So I can't wait to show you guys that All right, here we are the elevator. Oh, you're going all the way up pushing it. I think we're going to two Yep, there we go. You notice the address here, too is 1225 monorail way. Isn't that cool? Because that's a certificate of operation for ready creek for the elevator We've made it all the way up and it's starting to look very gloomy out like I didn't we're gonna get hit with rain any second So I'm happy. I got the umbrella All right, here we go. This is our rocket for the day. We're hopping in I think it's starting to rain, too But I'm excited Look it isn't this so cool Pull back on the control lever in front of you. Look at my dog. Just push the control lever forward Prepare for lift off. Oh boy prepare for lift off Listen to this music isn't it so nice Last off oh Look at this. Look at this view. We're gonna go all the way up Look at the castle there. Oh I made such a good decision by coming to this ride. I love it This is the best. Oh Tron is lighting up Look at that Tron's lighting up. You can see the contemporary wait. You see the castle over here, too Look at the castle. This is so nifty They say the people movers the best ride for people watching, but I really love this. Oh This is amazing. Oh, oh, we're coming in hot. This is where I get ya Oh Look at how cool it is up here. I love being able to look down at All of the people walking around tomorrow and you can see the people mover going Cinderella Castle over there It's so beautiful. Oh And Tron's running right now actually you can see Tron light cycle actually running all lit up blue That's really fancy Love that I love the astral orbiter and now we have to actually start make our way out the park is officially closed And they're gonna start sweeping people out. I think we're gonna hop over to Hollywood Studios though It's a little bit rainy. I could feel a couple of raindrops, but I'm feeling good I'm fit. Look at when you're walking around Magic Kingdom flipping the umbrella like this. I'm feeling good Like I should you know, I feel great One last look at the Magic Kingdom though before we leave Definitely getting a little rainy out. It's gonna be a while. I mean no one's gonna be back here I mean from tonight, so this is gonna be the last time you see the castle in daylight This is gonna be the last time people see the castle in like the daytime for probably what two days, you know Except for you know, of course cast members. They'll still be here, but yeah, it's gonna be closing down closing down soon Before I actually head on out I was walking through the gift shops and I you know the best thing about the park closing early is they keep all the shops open So whether or not you're here for the party you can still do shopping so I went to the Main Street Confectionary and look at this pumpkin Mickey Rice Krispie treat. I am so excited I don't know if it's pumpkin flavored, but I got it instantly and I cannot wait to try it I mean, I love pumpkin things and I love Mickey Rice Krispie treats Combining those just it's a must Of course in good tradition. You got to go ears first. So It's good I don't taste the pumpkin maybe because I hit the chocolate side, so we're gonna eat it this way now Hmm I don't see a pumpkin there But it's still amazing even though it doesn't taste like pumpkin it still tastes like a classic Disney Rice Krispie treat Look at the way. I've been into that too. It looks so funny now. It looks like a Frankenstein that Mickey pumpkin Alright enough of the Rice Krispie treat business now. It's time to head on over to Hollywood Street And I cannot stop flipping my umbrella really can't stop looking my umbrella fancy I Put in the GPS the fastest way to get to Hollywood Studios and it says route may be affected by hurricane Ian Isn't that funny the route may be affected by hurricane Ian? That is so only look it even says it down here. It can hurricane Ian may affect your route. That's so funny And there we go. We went from Magic Kingdom to Hollywood Studios all during a hurricane warning I'm excited. We might actually stay here for a little bit grab a drink ride a ride and you don't why not? Maybe do a cop. I mean, I'm just saying me. I'm just putting out there, but you never know I don't know if we can make that happen or not It's funny though because when we left Magic Kingdom it was raining and then when we get here There's no rain. There's no I mean there's like I felt one drop. Oh wait, maybe the rain is coming here And I bet you Magic Kingdom is very rainy. Oh boy. I didn't bring my umbrella. I left it in the car Let's take a look at the wait times here at Hollywood Studios 45 minutes for rise of the resistance a hundred five minutes for tower of terror. Holy moly 45 minutes though. Hi, how are you? Good good. Enjoy the day 45 minutes for rise of resistance is not too bad, but a hundred five minutes for tower of terror I feel like everyone wants to go ride that on a dark stormy night After looking over the wait times a hundred five minutes for tower of terror is absolutely ridiculous But how cool would it be to ride that ride during a hurricane warning? I mean we already rode the wildest ride in the wilderness But tower of terror would be amazing and the lowest wait time here is Toy Story Mania So I think we're gonna go ride Toy Story Midway Mania. I Love walking through here at night Look at all the lights lit up and you have the ponchos and the rain and it looks like Toy Story Midway Mania It says 45 minutes, but I don't think it is that can't be 45 minutes I'd love to ride slinky dog dash though. That'd be amazing As I was saying I would love to ride slinky dog dash we notice the wait time is lower than Toy Story Midway Mania It's only a 25 minute wait for slinky dog dash. So I think we're gonna go do that instead This is definitely such a low wait time look at this I remember waiting all the way over here like you usually I am waiting over here, but this is not bad at all I'm actually hanging out with my friends Brie and Skyler and it's their first time running slinky dog dash Are you excited? Yeah Well, I think you're gonna like it a lot now. Have you been here for MGM Studios? Have you ever been there? Yeah, this is exactly where that big MGM Studios water Tower was the one with the Mickey ears was right here actually were slinky dogs at so it's kind of cool that you're here Yeah, and did you know there's a slinky frog? A slinky frog. Yeah, there's a slinky frog. There's a slinky rabbit a slinky cat a slinky bird a slinky snake Look at there's a slinky snake There's a lot of slinkies, but most importantly the slinky dog Whenever I ride slinky, I always have to do the back slinky is the best in the back I mean a lot of rides are good like when you ride the front row, but this one Always the back All right, here comes our slinky dog. I'm so excited and I love riding in the back too Right here we got the little springy tail at the end perfect I'm gonna try uh, I'm gonna try to keep my hat on without flying off. I hope you're excited It's slinky dog, you know first timer And at night What's up Slinky dog dash was amazing and both Skyler and Bree both loved it And it's so cool being able to ride rides with people that like it's their first time being able to experience it with them And now I think we're gonna head over to tower of terror because it says it's only a 20 minute wait And that is crazy because just a couple minutes ago. It was 105 minutes and now it's 20 minutes All right Just to show you guys what it's like here are the wait times Slinky dog dash is still a 25 minute which actually was under 20 minutes Toy Story Mania is still 60 minutes what I I don't understand why And hopefully it changes soon. I can show you the tower of terror actually says 20 minutes But it always takes forever. Oh, there it is tower of terror 25 minutes. Look at that. So let's go I am beyond excited the fact that we get to ride tower of terror On the last night the parks are being opened before the hurricane comes Like I said, I mean even in the beginning they say one dark and stormy night. I think that's exactly the words I don't know. I have to look it up, but this is a dark stormy night That is so amazing because it wasn't even a 25 minute wait We literally are just walking in right now like we got all the way up to the front door And I would say less than 10 minutes less than 10 minutes for tower of terror What a perfect way to end the night Honestly, I am so excited that we're riding the tower of terror before the parks close and hurricanes coming in Let's see those hands Thank you so much That was probably the best way to end a night in the parks as they close down in preparations for a hurricane Look at this. Look at it behind us. That's crazy I loved it. I mean the tower of terror is always a go-to But I you know kind of don't want to call it a night. I feel like we've been on this roll so far We've been the magic kingdom. Hollywood studios. I did say I wanted to go to Epcot, but we've definitely missed that So, uh, maybe we'll head over to disney springs grab a little dinner. Maybe the boat house And uh, kind of you know, just take it all in last second before the big storm comes. It's coming And just like that we are at disney springs I guess when the world sends you a hurricane you park hop and then make your way to disney springs for a late night Dinner at the boat house. I feel like that's the way the locals do it here The boat house is one of my all-time favorite restaurants So I'm very excited to come here and eat and also it stopped raining Like it was raining a lot at magic kingdom then it was drizzling at Hollywood studios and now no rain So I don't know what's going on, but we'll keep monitoring the weather and see what it's like Look at how empty disney springs is too. Wow Normally this is like really hopping right now Especially because there's a party tonight and a lot of people have nowhere else to go except for disney springs But there's nobody down here. We got the whole place to ourselves basically Looks like there's a non-existent line for Gideons I mean, there's still like I would say like 15 people in line, but that's nothing like look at that That's pretty crazy I mean normally people are waiting hours for those, you know And here it is the boat house great food waterfront dining dream boats Everything you need and I think we're actually sitting in the fancy boat today Look at this. Oh, we are actually Oh, we are sitting in the fancy boat. Look at us Hey guys, how are you? Wow, look at this. Wow. Wow Well very fancy This is really such a wild time I can't believe we're in the boat at the boat house. I the whole day has been absolutely amazing And I don't know. I just kind of love it kind of love how the things the way things are going Let's take a look at the menu here You know my go-to is always the filet sliders and it's always actually an amazing deal because it's 16 dollars You get two sliders and you also get the Fresh cut french fries and you can upgrade them to the truffle fries that come with a lemon aioli But I don't know if I'm gonna go for that today. I might want to switch things up Might want to switch things up, you know. Hey, there he is. Look at the party's arrived I love the dinner rolls that they have here. I grabbed a fork full so that I can grab it. I do love the dinner rolls Prove it. I do. It's really good. You think I can eat this in one bite? Yeah, I don't have a doubt. Oh my god, what the joke? Oh, he made that look like that was nothing That was amazing. Nice work pal It's crazy thinking like look at that. Yeah, yeah, the hurricane's coming. We're hanging out on a boat Cheers, cheers And here is the food we got coconut shrimp. Look at this I love the coconut shrimp here and then also the go-to filet sliders with the truffle fries I'm so excited. This is a beautiful meal right now And also they sent us out some more rolls and they gave us some cinnamon butter and said it's the boathouse hack And I love it. This is a hack. It's almost like texas roadhouse rolls and you guys know how much I care about the texas roadhouse rolls This coconut shrimp is one of the best coconut shrimps I've ever had Honestly, I literally left here before dreaming about them. They are so good It's so hard sometimes when I want to show you guys the food, but at the same time it's so good I just want to eat it so fast But this shrimp is just so phenomenal and now it's time to get to the main event the sliders the filet sliders I'm sure you guys seen me eat these probably a hundred times, but they're always amazing each time And for $16 you cannot go wrong with these. It's literally just a great deal Well, the boathouse was a great decision. Those filet sliders are fantastic and the coconut shrimp It's literally some of the best coconut shrimp I've ever had now. It's time to make our way home Gotta check on greasy and then we're gonna call it a night We're gonna get all settled in and start getting prepared the hurricane's coming Look at this as we're leaving the boathouse. Disney Springs is empty Closing down you want to grab some gelato still open in there Oh, yeah, I wonder if we can get ingredients. Oh, you know what? Let's not worry about that. Let's just get home Raglan road got rid of all of their outdoor furniture because of the approaching storm Isn't that so crazy and they even moved the bench of the man Look at they moved the bench of the man that usually is out here. They moved it in there That's so crazy. This just shows you how much they're preparing for Hurricane Ian right here. I mean they got rid of everything here Some more preparation right here.
