 Happy holidays! Hey friends, today I'm hanging out at Disney Springs. We've come down here to explore all the holiday offerings including the Christmas tree stroll and some themed beverages and also a holiday layover in a bar. So let's go do this! Of course things have been changed a little bit and altered but there's still plenty of holiday experiences happening at Disney Springs and I'm very excited for that so we're gonna try to cover as much as we can. But boy oh boy you can really feel the Christmas spirit in the air as soon as you get off the escalators with all the nifty holiday decorations that they have out. A very popular thing here at the Disney Springs is a Christmas tree trail but they're not doing that this year. They're doing the Christmas tree stroll. Basically it's the same thing except for the trees are scattered all over the Disney Springs area and we have to use this nifty map to find them and they are some of the coolest trees you'll ever see. I am very excited to actually do this but I do want to give it a little bit because I think a little bit darker out would make it better because then you can see the trees all lit up. You know what I'm saying? What we're gonna do is start down here by the House of Blues and make our way all the way up Disney Springs and check out all the different trees and then we mark them with these little stickers they provided to signify that we got them all. I'm very excited to do this and once we actually mark them all it says bring it back fully complete it to one of the redemption locations and you'll get yourself a surprise. So let's start with the first tree which is right here by the House of Blues and this is basically the Walt Disney World tree the Disney parks tree so we find the actual sticker that's associated with that and I'm going to say it's this one and then we put it on our spot right there. I'm as free as a free bird. Isn't it a beautiful tree though with the monorail wrapping around it and then all of the different Disney park signage? I love it. Looks like we picked just the right time because now the lights are starting to turn on yes this is going to be awesome. Now this one seems a little out of place but it's definitely my all-time favorite one every year I say it but here is the haunted mansion tree and look at how beautiful this is you have the bride you have madam leota and it's cool how they added these little signs right here that kind of give you a little bit more information the happy hunts have received your sympathetic vibrations and are beginning to materialize. I feel like that is probably a very popular tree for a lot of people I absolutely love it the purple lights the hitchhiking ghost the dead flowers and then even when it gets a little bit darker out they used to have a red light there actually so two down and ten more to go but I don't think I'm going to show you all of them I don't want to actually spoil it for anyone who wants to do it oh it's a little windy oh boy look at how cool I'm handling this oh it's like riding a bull almost oh come on nope you got this there we go that's how you do it but yeah I'm going to show you just a couple of them so that way if any of you guys actually want to come down and do it you know I don't ruin the whole entire cool thing or the surprise and plus I have tons of other stuff I want to show you that's holiday themed here at the spring like all of the non-christmas tree decorations I will definitely show you what the reward is though so that way you know what you're fighting for or what you're searching for listen to me it's Christmas trees look at how all the restaurants actually put out some holiday decor and they're all running some holiday specials as well but there's one restaurant I want to show you that's really cool this place actually took it up a notch because they went full holiday theming and I appreciate that the hangar bar has transformed into the holiday bar I'm so excited I did not get to see this last year but my friend Jackie did and I watched her video and it was fantastic so now I'm get to come and check it out myself oh this place is so themed look at how festive this bar is I absolutely love it I loved it in here before but now it's just so merry and bright and look at even Reggie gets decorated it's just so good they even have a whole bunch of different holiday drinks including a cranberry cringled pilsner that I see right there here's a look at jock's holiday specialties they have the nine light deviled eggs grandma's favorite sliders with venison but I'm interested in the drinks I already said they had the cranberry cringled beer but look at all the different holiday cocktails a mistletoe mule a berry merry margarita oh this is good or jock's holiday nog oh wow the holiday nog sounds good but I'm going all in because I have to try the cranberry cringled pilsner it's from orange blossom too so I'm I got high expectations look at this how fancy we even got two cranberries in it I appreciate all the decorations in here including the elf on the shelf and also the big light bulbs you know the big light bulbs over there I feel like this place can be a video on its own because you go over all the holiday food multiple holiday cocktails so maybe I'll come back and actually do like a full review with Jackie when we plan on doing like a holiday night crawl at Disney Springs I think that would be fun just like the ones I used to know but I gotta say the mixture of the cranberry beer the holiday lights and the music make a perfect combination I'm loving it so much we're gonna have to head out but look how they dressed up the ventral it's all there too this is so cool absolutely love the theming in here we're gonna continue on our Christmas tree stroll and I'm gonna show you a couple more I skipped over a big section so that way like I said it's not 100 spoilers now you can see a little more trees but just take a second and I appreciate how beautiful the springs are at night oh look at that oh I could see the big tree from here you see it peeking out over there we have to go over there and check it out Disney Springs has their own big tree just like most of the other parks do and I'm just happy to see all of the trees actually it's just really put you in a good spirit they even have big Christmas bulbs oh look damn hidden mickeys on them wait I'm gonna try to show you look at how cool that is and it changes colors watch oh it's changing it's changing oh how fancy is that the big tree is actually a tree that goes on the tree stroll so we get a sticker for it but there it is look how beautiful it is wow I love how the garland is actually changing colors or it's flashing actually wow that's really awesome a beautiful beautiful Christmas tree that's what I was talking about with the garland look it's flashing that's really pretty isn't it and take a look at these right here oh wow that's really awesome isn't it oh the springs is definitely looking really good tonight so you know it's kind of funny I had no problem finding all the other trees by using the map but when it comes to the trees that are basically in the shopping district I'm having issues finding them because I don't know where those stores are so like I know one of them was Zara I've never been in there so I don't know where it's at and uh it can be a little tricky a little tricky if you don't know the shops oh but wait one of my favorite things is actually back from last year it's the living statues entertainment oh this is awesome except you know social distancing I think they have like a rope around them yeah they do but this is really cool look they're even wearing masks that's really awesome another really cool thing is the signature garland is up at the world of Disney I love this garland they use it almost every year and it's just beautiful I have to say I'm a multicolor kind of guy and actually speaking of that I need to get my Christmas tree and I'm gonna do it all in multicolored lights and the still walking nutcrackers are back this is great wow this is really feeling like holidays at the Disney Springs the only thing that I feel like is different is all the trees are spread out and they're not actually like on a Christmas tree trail but wow this is good hi friends wow that is awesome one thing I wish we can get that I really miss is a little snow I mean I feel like that's pretty sanitary in itself because it's just soap so why not throw a little snow down on us huh but we're coming up on another tree that we've been looking for and can you guess what this one is look how beautiful it is any guesses any guesses going once going twice it's princess and the frog so we're gonna put tiana on the map there she is oh boy I spot something really holiday like this is like very festive I have to say I actually said holiday because I didn't know how to describe basically Christmas so festive is the way to do so anymore I'll say oh wow I found something really festive not holiday but I don't know I like it either way looks like we got a little entertainment holidays at Disney Springs they probably do a bunch of different DJs maybe some live entertainment here we're gonna hang out for a little bit and just see what happens holy moly they're playing a goofy movie stand out I mean don't get me wrong I absolutely love power line but I was expecting maybe some more Christmasy music but power line is good power line is good I'm so confused with the music choices I was I was all about power line now they're playing clean I don't get it it's holidays at Disney Springs stage I mean at least it's good music but like I said I don't know I don't know I don't know we're gonna move along and we're gonna get closer down where the actual Christmas tree trail used to be I kind of want to see what's down here you never know these guys were my absolute favorite last year I love these looks like we're coming up on our last tree and this is the toy story tree look at how beautiful it is we've already established that I'm a multicolor light guy and I can see the alien ornaments the sheriff's badge a little Buzz Lightyear but that means our map is all completed but I want to point out they're doing the train rides again that is so awesome I actually rode this before as a grown adult without a child then I loved it I still want to go check out where the tree trail used to be just to see what's over there you know for all time's sake so last year next to this big tree outside of Earl of Sandwich there was like an epic dance party over here and basically like a DJ and then the tree trail actually was like right there now it's I think it's pick up and drop off yeah it's so hard because I remember coming here on like weekends and it was like almost impossible to get in there was so cramped packed so that's why they spread out the trees this year and I thought that was a smart idea I actually prefer this one I just missed the snow and Santa Claus now I guess we'll go and redeem our map and see what the special prize is but how about this epic music but look at the line to get in days of Christmas here definitely a very popular store and they put up lots and lots of signage they're expecting a heavy crowd so I appreciate that they're taking the time to make sure things go well but holy moly mole I was not expecting a line like this yeah look at the line holy moly so basically you can redeem it anywhere you see those little hidden mickeys at and I chose this one over here by the rainforest cafe and it took me to the wonderful world of memories I don't think I've ever actually been in this store but I'm kind of a little excited oh it's super bright in here and they have a whole bunch of hats oh you know what this is where they actually make all the stitching oh stitching memories yeah and this is where you actually redeem it and take a look at my reward it is a Disney Springs Christmas tree stroll 2020 pin I like it yeah I'm going to keep this forever now the store is actually shared with the art of Disney and they have some amazing things in here I love the art of Disney you know yeah if you guys ever seen my house I kind of have a thing for like Disney collectibles and just things like that in general and I found a couple I wouldn't mind purchasing myself if you know what I mean this right here is an original production drawing a Peter Pan well Captain Hook from 1953 it's three thousand dollars I don't know I think that is well worth it if I had three thousand dollars to spend I would buy it right now and I would look at it for many hours enjoying it they also have a good collection of different autographs and sketches that ideally I've never seen any of these before in the order of Disney so I'm like a little shell shocked because these are really awesome stuff look at the autograph Winnie the Pooh with all of the different voice actors of like Rue Piglet and Robin and then all the different sketches look at the sketches here for Mary Poppins these only a thousand dollars oh even Bambi that's some goods oh what is this wow that's cool this is a autograph of the voices of Portita and Pongo from 101 Dalmatians that's only four hundred dollars wow I feel like art is a very tricky thing I like getting different types of things that I can just stare at and know that I can get enjoyment saying that I own it like you know what I mean so it has to be something rare something very meaningful for to me and that's what I think it gets people I don't buy things out of wow factor I literally just wait and say you know what I would love to look at that like look at this this is something that's like a wow factor it's 45 thousand dollars and it doesn't sit with me right so like if I had to choose and I can walk out of here with one thing to own I would probably not get this I would get one of those autographs or one of those original sketches like the captain hook one because that means more to me any hoos I think that's going to do it for me I'm going to be coming down here doing a lot more holiday activities this was just basically because it was opening night well yesterday was and I wanted to come and just see what it's like not much has changed like from last year the only big difference I see is no tree trail just a tree scroll and I like it so hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it we'll see you next time bye
