 Hey friends today, I am back at Epcot and I'm so excited to be able to walk around world showcase Drink some beers and eat some food without wearing a mask and also ride some rides and just enjoy this beautiful park So let's go do this This is my first time being back to Epcot since they actually made the new mask rule where you don't need to wear Your mask outside and like I said, I have been waiting to enjoy this park without the mask It's one of my favorites just to walk around and enjoy the atmosphere Also, I think I'm gonna be getting something to eat at a restaurant that I haven't eaten at in a while Only because I noticed that they sell banana pudding and for some reason I've been craving banana pudding Isn't that the weirdest thing? I mean, I love pudding. I love rice pudding, but banana pudding has been something I've been wanting It looks like they're giving out free applesauce samples Yes, I will take some of those free Oh, is it different flavors or just pear? I mean, hey beggars can't be choosers and I love it. They're giving out free applesauce This is gonna be so delicious. I feel how cold it is. Oh, look at that Well, I've never had a pair of applesauce before but I can't wait to try it That is really awesome that they're giving out free applesauce and a lot of people I can tell are a little skeptical because you know It's hard to understand that something's free at Disney. So like they're just walking by like, oh, okay They're probably wondering if they're gonna get sold a time-sharer. I have seen companies before giving out free things in the parks It's really nice to see that actually coming back. I used to come up here and hand out umbrellas and ponchos I used to buy like 30 40 umbrellas and I used to come up whenever it was a rainy day and hand them out and Some people are just you know skeptical. So, you know, I mean, I can I can understand that but not me I'm all about it. I can't wait to try this. So Doesn't taste like a pear just taste like applesauce, but I like it for refreshing too. I Could not have asked for a better day to come out to Epcot. Look at those blue skies. The trees are in full bloom I'm loving it here today. Oh, I'm so excited. I Am very excited to actually walk around and drink a beer or a coffee not having a mask is such a great thing But just being able to drink and eat without being stationary is like one of the most exciting things for me And I think I'm gonna start by getting myself a refreshing honey beer at the honey bistro I love the beer that they have here. I actually like almost everything they have here. It's nice to see flowering gardens Still going on. I'm ready for food and wine to come though This is the first magnitude honey blonde ale and like I said just to be able to walk around world showcase Listen to that music and sip your beer That's good. That's the good stuff It doesn't seem like the crowds are heavy today at Epcot But I think we're just gonna keep walking around world showcase head on over to get something to eat in that banana pudding And then maybe back to future world so we can ride some rides I definitely been missing test track and soren so hopefully we'll get on one of those. I Also hear that the Grand Fiesta tour got their animatronics back and the band is back together So maybe we'll take a little ride on that just to see how the how the animatronics look I mean, they're probably the same but just just to give it a look, you know I'm not too sure if I mentioned it or not But the banana pudding is located at the regal eagle smokehouse, which is in the American pavilion So that's what we're gonna head to so we'll probably get ourselves some banana pudding and baby back ribs You know that sounds like a great combination. I Feel like I haven't eaten at regal eagle for such a long time And I never knew they had banana pudding and I seen it actually in a picture and I was like well That looks good. Where is that from and then I looked and it was real eagle and I was like I gotta go check that out Here is a look at the menu. They've got Kansas City smoke chicken Memphis pork ribs, Texas beef brisket, North Carolina smoked pork butt and then for desserts We got banana pudding and a fresh watermelon cup. Not too sure what I'm gonna get for my entree I know I'm getting the banana pudding since that was the main reason I came out But I think I'm gonna have to browse a little bit to see what I'm gonna get first. I Decided on getting the Memphis pork ribs and also the barbecue beans were burnt ends But I did a mobile order and I have a little bit of time before my window So I hear the mirage going on over there in the American gardens So I think I'm gonna go over there and check them out for a little bit Why don't we wait until it's our turn to get our food? Now that our food is ready I'm gonna have to put my mask on to go pick it up But I do want to dine in there just to get some AC because it is a little hot out and once we get to our table We could take our mask off and I haven't been in here in a while like I said So it'd be nice to kind of you know look at all the cool Muppet stuff that's on the walls Looks like we are at mobile pick up three We'll see if this is where we have to be Hi picking up from Maro It also looks like we get our own drinks now That's something new that I haven't seen yet because normally you actually have to have somebody actually pour your drinks for you But now they actually changed things up a little bit Now I have a table. Let's take a look at what we're working with here I don't know what I should eat first because you know, I always traditionally eat dessert last But today I feel like I should go banana pudding first because I think banana pudding on top of barbecue It's probably better than barbecue and then banana pudding. Does that make sense to you? So here is the garlic bread or the Texas toast the barbecue beans with burnt ends The ribs which is kind of like about a half a rack of ribs and then the banana pudding itself All of this together cost me $20 and I got a cup of water and like I said, I think I'm gonna go with this banana pudding Look at that. It looks so good. I'm very excited to try this. I Want to make sure I get a good bite because down inside there it looks like they have a little car mold So I want to get the pudding and I want to get away for all in one bite So here we go and like I said, I've been craving banana pudding for a while So very highly anticipated I say Down there in the middle you have a nice cakey texture Of course, you got the wafers up top But I like down down there because that's where the good stuff is I don't know if you can see it well from the side But very very delicious The reason I was saying I think I was gonna eat the man putting first because I feel like barbecue Has a very Overpowering taste so like I think it would interfere with how the banana pudding would taste I feel like once I get done eating this pudding I can eat the barbecue and it's just gonna taste like barbecue But if I hit the barbecue first and then I ate the banana pudding then it would taste like barbecue banana pudding And I don't know if that'd be good Now it's time to get down to the barbecue business I think I'm gonna start with the ribs and I might actually use some of the sauce from the beans on the ribs I think that would be a good combination Now these ribs aren't really fall off the bone ribs And I know a lot of people don't like that a lot of people say competition ribs don't fall off the bone But let me know in the comments how you like your ribs You like them that they fall right off the bone or do you like them like this style? I think it's like maybe a 50-50. I'm not too sure But I would like to see how many people like it one way and how many people like it the other way because I always Here two separate things all I know is I like the meat and I don't care if they fall off the bone if they're stuck To the bone as long as the meat tastes good all I care about Like I said, I think I'm gonna use a little bit of these baked beans to like get Like my barbecue sauce or my flavor for my ribs. Maybe a burnt head to yeah So take a burnt end some baked beans and then a little bit of rib right there all for one bite Perfect That's a lot happening right here. I really hope I don't get any of this barbecue on my t-shirt I had a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt. She was killing me in that mini skirt It almost happened That is so delicious I love the beans and the burnt ends were fantastic the ribs Kind of like a not too much meat on there I don't think they give you a big enough portion for the $15 price tag I feel like they should definitely give you more of a half rack I think they may give you one two three four five so five total rib bones in there And I don't know what do you think five rib bones with $15 seems a little high Last time I ate here. I think I was saying how much I love polite pigs barbecue compared to here kind of feel the same way I mean it's good barbecue to good quick service especially in the world of where quick service just focuses on hamburgers and Chicken sandwiches. It's nice to toss up a little bit of a variety And like I said if you're an Epcot you go for some barbecue It's probably the best spot to be but if you're looking for barbecue I think polite pig is a little bit better and definitely anything at Fort Wilderness I love eating at Fort Wilderness. I can't wait for the hootie-doo or trills end to open back up I'll be there on opening night if it does But now it's time to move along. I'm happy we came for the banana pudding though That was worth it really really good banana pudding. I wouldn't expect that either. I Forgot that while has gone away the new gelato stand opened up in the Italy pavilion It looks like it's very very popular So I don't know if I'm gonna be able to eat there today Especially since I just had that banana pudding, but maybe we'll come back and there's another restaurant Individually pavilion that I didn't dine at and I think that's tutu Italia So maybe we'll come back eat there and then maybe come over here and do this another video though another night Just look at the amount of people in here. There must be some good stuff. I mean, that's a long wait It's crazy to think the only time I had to put my mask on today Was when I went to go get something to eat But in the past just a couple of weeks ago Anytime I watched our world showcase the only time I was able to take my mask off was when I was eating So it kind of just flip-flop. Isn't that crazy? Now we're gonna make our way over to Mexico We're gonna see if there's a long wait to actually get into the Grand Fiesta tour And if not then maybe we'll go for a nice tour Sometimes the wait just to get inside the pavilion has been like honestly 20 to 30 minutes And then maybe about a 15 minute wait once you get inside. So that's why I said maybe Now sometimes they have separate entrances to get into the pavilion So if you're going to get into La Cava, they actually have a separate entrance So you don't have to wait in line to get into the pavilion So we're gonna see if that's open and if it is then we're gonna get ourselves a drink. Oh Yeah, take a look at this So this is the line to get in the pyramid and then right here is the La Cava Delta Quila bar right here and you can go through here. It's a separate entrance How fancy is that? I'm not 100% sure though that once you get inside La Cava that you can actually go to the Grand Fiesta tour once you're inside there So I'm not sure if this is gonna be a win-win or lose-lose, but we're gonna find out I mean we're gonna roll the dice It's also really cool just to be able to see the backside or the show building for the Grand Fiesta tour Here it is. I like it a lot. Like this is cool And I'm not too sure if we're gonna be able to go to the ride after we go through to La Cava But also I want to point out to the side here in between these two walls You can see test track and I can hear it going round and round see like the little barrier right there That's kind of fancy Then you come up on this side and Like I said, you got your own private entrance way here. Hi friends Guess you can maybe Holy moly that is amazing You can just walk in that way grab yourself a beer and then just go ride the Grand Fiesta tour and you skip that whole line outside I am like that's that's that's definitely a tip or a trick. Wow But it's also important to point out that sometimes the line for the Cava can be a little bit long So you might be waiting there for a while But I only waited like two minutes and I definitely think outside was longer than a two minute wait So now we're gonna be able to finish up our beer and the nice AC and then we're gonna go on the Grand Fiesta tour Now we're finished up. It's time to get in line and I would say it's about a 10 minute wait here Maybe 15 minute wait. So if you wait 20 minutes outside 15 in here That's a 35 minute wait, and I feel like that's a long week for the Grand Fiesta tour I mean the rides fantastic, but if you come back here at night, there's probably not a single person waiting And here they are their triumphant return That was great and it was awesome to see a nice triumphant return for the three caviaros and now we're gonna move all the way Out of the Mexico Pavilion back over to future world and just see what we can do over there Maybe ride some rides get another drink. Who knows it's Epcot. Look at that line though Honestly, I don't know if they have the La Cava entrance open every single like day or if it's just the weekends But I would do that every single time Next week it's gonna be Memorial Day weekend and it's gonna be very busy in the parks And it's gonna be hard to get reservations So I don't know how often I'm gonna be able to make it out But like when you're an annual pass holder you get three reservations at a time So if I want a day in the future Then that limits me down to two and then if I want another one that limits me down to one So then trying to get a park reservation the next day for like tomorrow is such a struggle If you guys know that struggle, you know what I'm talking about I'm in there like kind of treating it like fat like fast pass used to be we have to go in and like back in and out in And out and it gets tough, but sometimes Seven eight o'clock in the morning you strike gold and you're like yes I was gonna head on over to test track, but it looks like test track is down There's no way there wouldn't be a line on the outside at five o'clock in the afternoon That would be impossible. So I'm just gonna assume that it is closed Especially with the gigantic amount of cast members standing outside. Oh Wow, I think it's turning on right now Holy moly did I just get like super lucky and walk over here just as it actually starts back up No, I definitely wasn't that lucky I waited about 25 minutes just to see if I would hear a cargo around but Nothing, so it might be down for a little bit. Maybe a couple hours I think we can actually go and do something else instead But I was like fingers crossed that would have been amazing because then you just walk on the ride Whenever a ride goes down the best feeling is getting right there when it reopened because then you skip that whole entire line That would normally be there, but not today We'll just head on over to the other side of future world to see if we can ride a ride The only down part of that is whenever test track goes down It makes all the other rides wait times go up because when test trackers running It definitely alleviates the wait time for all the other rides So we'll see what these wait times are. Maybe we'll be able to go on figment. That'd be fun. Oh But take a look at this Chippendale or out in the garden playing right now Usually we see joy or poo there over here. You don't get to see Chippendale that often Awesome. Hi friends What are they doing all the way up on that grassy knoll? Are they playing hide-and-seek almost? Look at this that is so amazing That was a real nifty surprise seeing Chippendale out in the grass like that and since we're over here I think we're gonna hop on journey into imagination doesn't look like test track made that a longer wait It's still a five-minute wait. So it's basically a walk-on. I'm not too sure why I love figment. I think it's a great ride Five-minute wait look at that and we definitely be able to cool off my favorite scene in here is actually in the Soundbrome because I love when they turn on the fans in the dark. It's a great way to cool off To our special drive-thru Cheney Figments I thought I told you not to interfere, but you've got it wrong doc. It's not about listening with your ears. It's about listening with your Imagination Continuing now if I may in a car Frequent free manna the things we see with our eyes can control the eyes Let's begin by using the eye chart to test your vision Please Best idea That was fantastic a nice way to cool off and relax a nice journey into Imagination I love that ride like I said I'm shocked that a lot of people don't like it as much as they say that they do but I will give it high praise all the Time and I think that's gonna do it for me today. I mean I had a lot of fun I walked around world showcase got to have some beers and enjoy them as I was strolling around banana pudding ribs and then oh free applesauce Actually, the free applesauce cart is gone. So they might only do it during the day Huh, it makes you think they don't need to come more often during the day. Any who's I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time Bye
