 Hey friends and happy holidays tonight. I am at Disney's contemporary resort earlier this week They sent out a message to all the guests staying here that they are gonna be testing fireworks at Magic Kingdom from 10 30 to 11 30 So we had plans to actually come out to California Grill to try all their new seasonal offerings And we decided tonight would be a perfect night for it. So let's go do this I'll be joining up with a friend tonight. I just need to find her somewhere in the contemporary Hopefully we'll meet up sooner or later Oh, hey, oh Yeah, have a great one see ya Actually Well, yeah, I was coming to find you not too sure if we're gonna make it to the Magic Kingdom It's looking a little rainy out and a little monorail Riding by right now. Take a look at the sunset happening behind the castle though. Isn't that beautiful? I really love the way that looks right now because it is gray skies But there's just one thin line of red that just makes it look beautiful I had to give you the zoom-in shot just so I can show you a little bit better how cool it looks Since it is a little bit rainy out we're gonna take the monorail Maybe take a pit stop at the Polynesian and then see what it's like when we get to the Magic Kingdom It's gotten real dark out. I just don't want the rain to be here I'm stuck between two monorails. Look how cool. This is I love it Magic Kingdom does close at eight o'clock and it's now seven o'clock So like I said, we're gonna stop off at the Polynesian and then even if we can just duck in the Magic Kingdom Just to say hello. That's all I'm happy. I'm happy for just the littlest things I'm happy just to say hello to Main Street USA Cinderella castle the Christmas tree just a quick hello and then bye and then be on our merry way And if I can't make it into Magic Kingdom We're just gonna actually take the monorail right back over here and get ready for our California grill reservation at nine o'clock Looks like it's just a light drizzle But we're gonna have to walk to the Polynesian from the TTC If you remember they actually have the monorail ramp closed there The reason we're actually gonna make our journey over to the Polynesian is because if you recall a couple weeks ago We did a holiday themed monorail crawl and when we got to the Polynesian They didn't have any holiday drinks, but now they have a holiday hot drink and I'm excited to try it So hopefully it's available. It was only about a two-minute walk But we are in the great ceremonial house and now we want to find the hot holiday beavers they have I don't know exactly where it's at, but we'll figure it out. Oh And this is where it's at. This is kind of a strange location for the nature to be selling it I thought they would sell it at Tambu Lounge, but actually I think it's a regular here And here it is the Tiki-Tati a Polynesian spin on a holiday classic a blend of rum cranberry juice lime juice Served warm look at that. That is the Tiki-Tati. It looks so delicious actually coming out of there Look at the fire burning underneath it. Oh, there's a fire inside I'm excited to try the hot beverage. Well the Tiki-Tati now I normally have never had a lot of hot Tati's before I've recently just started drinking them So a Tiki-Tati. I don't know. Oh It's like very Tiki-ish I would say I don't know how to explain it It's like a hot beverage, but you can taste like lemon and like it's like Hawaiian flavor honestly It's not too bad But as we were sitting here, I noticed this sign over here. They have a new trader's Sam mug that just came out I think I need to get it. It's a limited time being sold at the Tambu Lounge I mean we're here right now. It looks like they only got maybe less than a hundred back there left Holy moly. They really do only have less than a hundred. I gotta get one. I Had to get that mug. I just was talking about how I've been actually growing my Tiki mug And this would be my first first edition purchase where I actually got it for the first edition like other ones I had a buy-off resellers, but I bought this today. I feel good about that Look at this. Here it is. It looks so beautiful doesn't it and I'm right at the bottom there First edition I'm so happy It cost $32 for that mug and it actually came with the drink on the side now I didn't finish my Tiki Tati So I'm like double-fisting it at the moment, but I want to find out what's inside this drink here So earlier I was trying to read the Tiki Tati sign and then I stopped abruptly because I came to award that I knew I was not gonna pronounce right, but Jackie, please fill me on what that big F word was Big F word. I believe it's phalernum. Phalernum. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe it's phalernum. I believe it's bitter and I believe both of these drinks Since we actually ended up getting two drinks here at the Polynesian I don't think we're gonna make Magic Kingdom and it's okay because like I said the big thing that we wanted to come out here to do today was see if we can catch those fireworks and possibly try the seasonal drinks at the California Grill and now we're actually trying two more seasonal drinks So this is like turning into kind of like a little bit of a holiday monorail crawl, but just a modified version of it But with that, I think we are done here with the surprise drinks at the Polynesian I'm gonna take my Tiki mug and we're gonna get moving along here and Since we're actually already at the Polynesian. I think we're actually just gonna walk to the Grand Florida and get the monorail from there I think it's a little bit closer You know I mean depending on where you're at at the Polynesian if you're at your hotel rooms I feel like those are closer to TTC, but I think it's the same distance So we're gonna head over to the Grand Florida from here catch the monorail and head back to the contemporary for a reservation at California Grill As we were walking over I noticed the gates were open for the wedding pavilion And I've always wanted to actually walk across this bridge and I never have so I might as well do it now. Look at us. This is like so amazing right now the lighting everything's dark around us Unbelievable I'm excited just to see what's back here Look how amazing this is Absolutely stunning Disney fairy tale weddings Look at that They actually have like an espresso machine over there Believe is on the doors and This right here is where the actual ceremonies take place You can actually see look at the rings as the handles Wow, this is beautiful. I don't want to Open the doors or even try. I'm happy that the gates were open so we could take a peek see but I'm happy. This is a place. I've never been before. Look at that mirror how it has stars on it Very classy This looks like it's the outdoor ceremonial area and take a look at this directly Right there in the castle straight ahead. This is so awesome. I Really like being in places that I've never been before and the doors are actually open So we actually talked to a couple of people that were walking through here. They're actually getting married and They're very excited and I was like wow. I'm just so fancy. I feel like this is awesome That was a unique experience. I'm so happy now I don't normally know if the gates are open and people can just come tour it but today I guess We were just lucky or maybe I just never noticed And if you're at the Grand Florida and you can't just pass by without actually showing the tree because it's so beautiful Look at how beautiful it is The 12 days of Christmas is represented on that tree Five golden rings I wish we could have actually stayed at the Grand Floridian a little bit But like I said, we have to get to our reservation. Here comes not a real lime Hey friend And we need to get to the contemporary like I said because nine o'clock for our reservation We don't want to miss that because that's also where we're gonna be watching the fireworks from if they happen Yes, the water pageant the water pageant lights are on You see them At least we can see the Magic Kingdom though There she is. What do you think about all that scrim above the train station? Oh Boy now we got to get the iguana down and get out How awesome was it though that we were able to see the lights from the electric water pageant, right? We both got really excited. That was yeah, we did it was fun. I want to see it out there in the water. Yes Thank you. We made it Thank you. Bye All the way up to the 15th floor, please first class service All checked in we're getting our spot I'm very happy that we're actually on this side I've never sat over here before and this is perfect because if that water pageant does take off This is where we want to be Now that we're actually at our table the holiday cocktails, they don't have any literature for them yet But she's going to find out what they are We're gonna get it regardless because we want to try it That's the main reason that we came to the california grill But they also told us that they're closing down the observation decks at 10 o'clock So we can't see the fireworks from here. So we'll have to go to the spot that we normally watch it And normally they do have them open But because of the social distancing they don't want everyone just going out there and you know, it's fine I understand that completely. Luckily. We always have a plan in place and we have a spot that we normally do We just wanted to switch things up a little bit tonight and uh, yeah, so we're good The holiday cocktail that they actually have is the ice wine martini It's belvedere with some kind of vedelle ice wine Flame raisins on the vine. This seems very fancy, but they also have california grill signature cocktail, which is 137 dollars Wow one day. I will try that cocktail But not in the near future Or anytime soon And here it is the ice martini Cheers I'm excited to try this. I have high expectations. It seems very fancy. Mr. Belvedere agrees Well, it doesn't taste like alcohol I think this is gonna be very good. I think this will sneak up on you Smells like like white wine. Yep Smells like wine I actually really like it. It does feel like I'm drinking ice Ice Yeah, that just happened. Oh no, it's staying in it's staying in And now I think we need to go find our other spot so we can get in line to actually watch the fireworks They're about 20 minutes away or just to test the fireworks And we have arrived at our special location What do you guys think? I think we got a good view. This is where we watched the fireworks Last time and we'll also see the water pageant if they actually come out Like I said, I don't know what to expect from this tonight. We're just on like a hope and a prayer But they did have the lights on we did see it Either way, there's gonna be something happening between 10 30 and 11 30 and we've got a good spot for it Honestly, if there's absolutely no fireworks happening tonight, I'm just so happy that we've had so much fun I mean I was kind of holding off on filming some stuff because I didn't know how long We would be waiting and also at the california grill I thought we were going to be there for a much longer than we were But the fact that they were closing down the balconies at 10 o'clock We had to like change up plans This is where we normally do watch the fireworks right here at bay lake tower because it's just such an open spot It's just me and jackie here and we have like kind of the whole place to ourselves So it's really enjoyable and it's a good view and like I said, even if there are no fireworks It was such a great night Take a look at this little diagram here. This is where we're actually standing Then if you look out you have Cinderella castle Then you have splash mountain big thunder mountain space mountain the monorail The grand floridian and then this is also the wedding pavilion where we were actually walking around tonight How cool is that and I'll just show you a little bit over on this side Oh, I love it up here so much Another thing while I'm up here. I remembered I actually want to say a big happy birthday to my friend grace and 10 years old buddy Thanks so much for watching the videos. I hope you enjoy the fireworks when they happen And something has already happened. Oh, did you just see that? I think you guys caught it actually, right? The castle turned off and then it just turned back on that was really awesome that I was filming exactly at that moment They happened well before 10 30, but I just caught a little bit I believe it is uh only 10 26 so the the actual notice said 10 30 to 11 30. So now we have to be on guard on guard It's happening again. Oh boy So much fun though, we did get to catch some fireworks I feel like that's a win and I just had an overall an amazing time tonight. Isn't this beautiful? I absolutely love it out here. I can spend hours up here I'm just so blessed and thankful for everything that I have any who's Hope you guys enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye
