 Hey friends today. I am hanging out at Epcot. It is officially Memorial Day weekend I wanted to come out and enjoy the weekend at the parks see what the crowd levels are like and just have a wonderful Disney Day So let's go do this And there's not a better way to start off the day than coming and greeting Minnie and Mickey as they greet us Bye Minnie Have a great weekend See ya pal Thank you. I Am really enjoying these kind of distant meeting greats. You just walk up you take your picture You say hello and then you go about your business. I like that a lot better than waiting in long lines to meet the characters I mean it has its up and it has its downs, but this is actually pretty decent I wasn't expecting to hop right into a ride But I also wasn't expecting to see a walk on in any of the rides Like I said, this is Memorial Day weekend I had a fight to get a pass for today and look at that space your birth five minute wait and everyone's just walking on so might as well Can't pass up space your birth when it's a walk on I can smell room burning already Momentary During your slow-motion journey your time machine will slowly rotate back and they stop will enter Oh The choices we have made for the past 30,000 years have been inventing the future one day at a time Well that was very awesome to have our first ride of the day be a walk on I think that's a good start to the day And I'm excited to see what else we're gonna get done as we go around Epcot I mean there's a good chance We can actually make that two and oh for walk-ons and ride the seas with Nemo and friends because that's a five minute wait Yeah, look at that five minute wait, but holy moly look at the crowd of people that just walked in there all at once Still says five minutes, but I think we'll pass After we hang out at Epcot for a little bit We're gonna hop on over to a beach and yacht club and meet up with some friends who came in for Memorial Day weekend I haven't seen them in a while and they are in the videos in the past and it's nice to see friends from out of town I know a lot of people are excited for food and wine festival But I really do like all the pretty flowers for flowering garden like right now in future world. It's just so beautiful Let's aim for something that's probably gonna have a higher expected wait time And I actually I wanted to provide this for a while. I haven't gotten on it But soren's been calling my name. I just love going to ride soren in fact when I first moved down here I had such a like Disney like like buzz that whenever I went to go to work if I had like an hour or two before I had to go to work I used to come to Epcot and ride soren just to like get me all pre-gamed and pumped up for my shift How awesome is that? Of course at that time it wasn't the soren that's playing now Even though I do like them both. I miss the original soren I miss the smell of the oranges and ah the music was just astounding I don't normally look up the wait times especially if I plan on riding it So I actually just go there because if I'm gonna ride it doesn't matter what the wait time is But I would guess that soren's probably at like a 45 minute wait But wow, oh you could photo bomb it Living with the land is a five minute wait now every single ride so far has been five minutes This spaceship birth the seas and living with the land. You think that's gonna be five minutes Yeah, ah That was funny. They're all like I doubt it I mean it was cool though because like I said the first three rides we walked into five minutes So how cool would have been a soren was but I can tell you it's not 30 minutes though, that's not too bad. I'll take that any day it awake. Oh Are you going this way? That's how you go to your break. I like it The cast members in the land are being so Camera-friendly today. They're so excited. They're jumping in front of the camera and I love it Soren the tower. Oh, we're going into the new concourse Seaside is my favorite. Okay, that one took 40 minutes But it's okay. 40 minutes is definitely worth the wait for soren Looks like they finally got rid of the separators on soren too. Look at that fancy Fun fact about soren the first idolistic like thought about it was constructed by a Erector set from one of the lead imaginers on the project This is all you rector Soren always puts me in the good feels kind of mood. I love it That's actually I probably say the first ride that I rode and after I got off of it I was just like what was that amazing masterpiece that I just did like I was kind of like shook because I've always wanted to Travel the world and growing up. I really didn't actually travel anywhere. I never even came to Disney I didn't leave the state of Pennsylvania until I was in my 20s and able to do so on my own So like just to go on soren it was like the greatest thing ever Now we're gonna continue on around future world I'd love to go see what test track is looking like and then also swing in the mouse gears Maybe before we hit up the resort circles meet with friends. I Made a mistake again wearing the spirit jersey I know you guys I got a lot of comments when I wore my jean jacket at the Magic Kingdom a couple days ago Actually, I think it was like two weeks ago. That was when I first came back from Pennsylvania That was in the high 80s low 90s right now We are in the high 90s and we're gonna be like that for a couple days and I sweat a lot naturally So I like to wear a bunch of thick clothes because it kind of conceals the sweat You know what I mean? It's a little trick. So I don't really get hot hot I'll sweat if I'm in a t-shirt. So I like to actually feel comfortable and if I feel comfortable I sweat less But right now around 7 o'clock This is the perfect temperature because it's a little bit windy out and the nights have been dropping down into the high 70s, so it gets really cool later on in the day. That's why I don't come out to the parks until a little bit after during the hot time Since we're over here by test track There is this place that I do want to stop and that's at the sunshine griddle Because they always had that drink that I never got to try and I always said I was gonna do it But every time I come here, it's closed and it looks like it's open now It must be a weekend only stand Epcot has a lot of those Right here. It is the Joffreys coffee cold brew cocktail It's a cold brew with Kalula coffee liquor and vanilla vodka I wish that comes with coffee too, but I don't know if it does. I mean it does sound like it does But maybe it's just all liquor Good news is I found out that there is coffee inside the drink So it's coffee and liquor, but the bad news is I'm not gonna be able to try it It is cash only at that stand. I've never heard of that before They were just like sorry cash only and I was like, oh well it's kind of like the only thing I came over for and She was like well, honestly, she's like I would probably give it to you if it wasn't alcohol And I was like well, that's the sweetest thing ever So maybe it just wasn't meant to be today. I'll have to come back and next time I'm on an Epcot I'm gonna make it a point to try that Joffreys cold brew cocktail. I Have to say test track. Isn't that long of a wait either I'm usually like seeing the queue all the way out here, but it's going kind of right in the door I would bet that's probably about a 30-minute wait. Yeah, like they usually have everything lined up here for the Actual wait, it says 50 minutes. I had a yell there for a second I bet you that came out probably not the way I wanted to but when the cars go by I was like it says 50 minutes But I don't think it's 50 minutes three. There's no way Now it's time to mask up because we're heading in the mouse gear. I wonder if they have the new Loki magic band I've seen that going around that'd be cool to come across that maybe some other cool unique merchandise as well Doesn't look like they have any of the Loki magic bands, but I'm not too sure what that band is there It's in a yellow box. I think that's probably a dunium berk, but I've never seen that box before It's a tinkerbell dunium berk magic band. Wow. I haven't seen one of these before. It looks very fancy It's got a nice little thing on it nice golden thing. I don't know what the limited releases of this Does it tell you on the back? No, it doesn't tell you it looks so fancy though, doesn't it? What a box. What a presentation That was a nice magic band. It was $50, but I don't really don't want a limited edition tinkerbell magic band Only because I noticed they're not really doing anything special at the turnstiles anymore So I used to collect magic bands because they did something special. I wanted the reflections of earth one I think it was the Epcot 35 I always talk about it and when he touches says reflections of earth, but they don't do that anymore. I Did ask about the Loki magic band and they said that sold out within a day So anyone that got that's pretty lucky, but I do appreciate these shirts I like this shirt because it's all of the famous hats like everyone's hats You got your farce hats, woody hat, Mickey ears, Steamboat Willie's hat, Aladdin's hat Donald's hat, Sorcerer Mickey's hat, the Mad Hatter. Oh, wow so many hats Now I think I'm gonna head on over to the Yacht and Beach Club and meet up with some of my friends I wish I was able to get a hold of one of those fancy magic bands, but I'll keep my eye out They said it was sold out in one day, but they might be in other stores around the parks And also I'm thinking maybe it'd be easier if I end up actually going back out to my car and driving over to Yacht and Beach Club Because I'm way closer to the entrance See more friends I love running into friends. Those guys were so awesome. So anyways like I saying I think it'd be easier to actually go get my car and drive to Yacht and Beach Club instead of walking all the way to World Showcase and International Gateway because the entrance of the front of the park is right there The wait times were actually fairly all walk-ons today test track I mean, it was always gonna be busy a test track soren was pretty decent, but I have to say I thought it was gonna be a little bit busier than it was. You know what I mean? I love when you're walking out and Spaceship Earths starts to light up with its night colors and it's still daylight out. Look how beautiful this is So majestic I would say I'm sure we're gonna be grabbing some memorial day weekend cocktails Maybe at the Abercadabba bar or some of the other Rounges that are on the boardwalk. I'm just interested in seeing whoo. Hi guys Wow today has been like such an amazing day I am so happy so many amazing cast members that makes me so happy Like I was saying though I'm excited to go meet up with some friends and I'm not too sure what we're gonna do over at the boardwalk But there's a lot of cool places that we can visit and I'm just excited to hang out with people and also I want to point out this Epcot right here This is probably one of the few spots where they actually still use the old Epcot like font Everything else has been changed if you guys know of any other spots Let me know in the comments. This is the old and that is the new right there Which one do you like better? Like I said, the reservations are really hard to get nowadays Especially during Memorial Day weekend. I told you my friends are visiting. They're staying on Disney property and they can't actually come in the parks. They can't get a reservation That's why I'm leaving Epcot to go hang out with them But I mean if they could get in we probably would be drinking around world showcase And just like that. We are at the yacht club. Isn't it so pretty here at night? I love these bridges that you have to cross to get to the resort itself I love the lighting the little fountains and all those lights on top of the resort itself It's a very pretty resort. I Don't think I've ever stayed at the yacht club before. It's one of the resorts I haven't got to mark off my bucket list maybe in the future and I just realized I grabbed my wrong hat out of the car Well, looks like we're wearing a blue hat now This is the yacht club and this is all of the boardwalk resort loop I think we're actually gonna make our way over to the swan and dolphin Because the friends that I'm meeting up with have never been there before so they don't know all the cool lounges And I'm like well, let me show you the way And there's my friends Jen and Lars look at you you were running to get out of the camera And I I'm like no you don't come back Get back in and I think we're gonna head over to the Dolphin side I always get confused and I don't know which one is which and all you have to do is look to see Where the swan is or the dolphin, but that don't look like a dolphin. No, it doesn't it looks like a fish It's a dolphin fish You're good, yo, I love walking through here and listening to the music I probably pointed out every time I come here But things that get me excited. I have a tendency to just keep on repeating because I like them so much. Oh Yeah, there it is. Oh Wow that is pretty We're going through the spinny doors We're definitely gonna check out Todd English's blue zoo because it's very pretty in there But first up to the lobby bar because I have to say this is probably one of the more fancy or lobby bars I've ever seen Look at this isn't it so pretty It's so shiny Yeah, right it's very sparkly right My friend Lars, he's getting these smoking roses which is a smoke drink which is pretty pretty fancy I think I need something to cool down. So I'm gonna stick to a nice ice cold beer Maybe get a fancy drink later on and my friend Jen She got a pineapple crush and I'm excited to see the presentation here because they are very skilled bartenders I've had drinks before and they always they don't disappoint. Oh Yeah, very fancy Yes, exactly Yeah Ooh, and there's my fancy beer Oh, yeah, I'm gonna get the smell get a little bit of that right on my cough Right there. Oh, did you see it's actually taking away that the foam? Well, that smells amazing Oh That is good a Very fun place to relax and have a drink and they also give you pretzel chips. Yeah, look at that three pretzel trips. I Also like the floor here, but I think it's very pretty I think abracadabra has the same floor, but it reminds me of spaceship Earth a little bit And now I think we're gonna head on down to blue zoo And I'm excited because I haven't been here in a while and it's a pretty bar and it's all lit up blue because blue zoo and A lot of fish like that's one thing that I noticed a lot of fish There it is. Also, I love the font when that's outside I think it's one of my favorite water fountains of Walt Disney World and that actually represents the font when ice cream shop right here I heard this has good ice cream, but I've never eaten there before. It's also a quick service location. They sell like sandwiches and stuff Wow, it's very nice in here. Look at all this fanciness Blue light and a QR code over here. Oh, wow. These are nice. Like they're like high top like boots. I Think I'm gonna actually get a zoo berry drink, which is a blueberry infused vodka with Hard rock candy syrup, but my friend is gonna get a strawberry What would it go strawberry? Strawberry lemonade, St. Gria, and it's pretty fancy. Oh Wow and drinks are arriving. Is that the strawberry lemonade? Wow Holy moly What is that? Sure What is my drink do it's delicious Got a cheers out round to round to Zuberi round to it the zoo Round to it the zoo. I like that. Oh Wow mine's delicious. That's holy moly. That's good stuff Very delicious drinks there Actually, I have to say I'm not a big sweet drinker But that tasted just like a blueberry pie and I thought that was phenomenal and my friend Jen's drink That was cool. It's like something that you would get from August canteen. I like blue zoo I definitely will come back and now we're make our way back to the yacht club. I'll tell you what though I'm a little sad. They shut off all the pretty trees here. I mean, it's a little bit late It's just about 11 o'clock, but oh 1145. Well, it's almost midnight I could definitely see these going all night long if I was staying here as a resort guest I would appreciate looking out my window and see in these trees Look at how beautiful the boardwalk is right now at that moon and it's nice to see they fixed the dance hall lights I think it was missing a letter for the longest time, but this is why I love this resort Look at all that the lights reflecting off the water, especially the flying fish sign It's like the only thing that's standing out right now. It's just a big purple streak right in the middle of the water And now we are back at the yacht club. So I think that's gonna do it for me today It was a fun adventure. We went to Epcot had some fun Checked on the wait times rode some rides and then we met up with some friends and had a little bit of a Fun night at the boardwalk area mainly the swan and dolphin But that's because they never went there before and they liked it a lot blue zoo is a cool spot And also the lobby bar is kind of like a sleeping gem. I always talk about it whenever I go there I do like how they make their drinks there and they have a beer that's dedicated just for that bar or just for the resort It's pretty amazing. Any who's I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time Bye
