 Hey friends, today we're hanging out at the Magic Kingdom. Sometimes you need to go out to the place that you love and do the things that make you happy. For me, that's riding rides, eating food and making videos. So we're gonna go about the Magic Kingdom and do some of my favorite things and have a wonderful day. Anywho's, let's go do this. It is December 8th. Christmas is just around the corner and also my birthday and I really just wanted to come out and have a Magic Kingdom kind of day. The crowds are a little bit high, but that's to be expected, especially during the holiday season. Like I said, we're gonna ride some rides and we're gonna do some of the things that I love to do when we come to the Magic Kingdom. I'm gonna buy the Genie Plus service so we can get as much done as possible and we're actually gonna go through how that works and check the wait times for the holiday season and just have a me day. As you can see, the crowds are super, super busy today and it's so busy that they actually started performing like the marching band in front of Cinderella Castle so they're not marching down Main Street, USA because whenever they do a cavalcade or a band, it actually has to disperse all of the guests that are on the Main Street. So now they're up there on the castle. We're gonna go take a closer look. That was really awesome to see the marching band up on the Cinderella Castle stage and they were doing so good, they were asking people to sing along and it was all Christmas music and like I said, I don't know if that's the reason that they're up there but it makes sense to me, you know what I mean, especially during the crowded holiday season. It is 11.59, about to be 12 o'clock and like I said, I bought the Genie Plus service and the first thing that I was actually able to book for my Lightning Lane selections was Big Thunder Mountain from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. And I think that's really awesome. So we're gonna be able to ride Big Thunder Mountain in an hour and in the meantime, I think we're gonna go around and see what we can do as like a standby. I hope you guys like my new shirt. It's one of my all-time favorite Christmas movies. It's a Roosevelt too and you know, I love my Roosevelt but do you guys know what movie I'm talking about? Can you tell what movie it is just by all of the different pictures? Let me know in the comments if you know what I'm talking about. As we're making our way over to Frontierland, Santa Claus is out meeting guests for regular day guests, not just the after hours event. Every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. you can find them here at the Magic Kingdom and it's a photo pass photographer when you don't need to wear a mask because it's outside. So this is one of the best photo pass character meet and greets that you can get until the holiday season's over. That is really awesome that Santa Claus is out meeting and greeting during the day because like I said, if you wanna get your pictures with Santa in Disney, you have to come here or Epcot or Disney Springs, but Disney Springs, it's indoors and you have to wear a mask and I kinda like the way that they have the photo pass set up over there. It's very, very pretty. I think a fun little thing to do today is maybe try to ride all of the mountains. Like we already have a lightning lane for Big Thunder mountain so I wonder if we can get a splash mountain, space mountain and technically seven doors mind train done in one day. I think it'd be a fun little challenge. On a busy day, it's not the best idea to try to do the mountain challenge here at the Magic Kingdom. So we'll take a look at the wait times. Right now, space mountain is 45 minutes. Big Thunder mountain is 45 minutes. Splash mountain is 55 minutes and seven doors is 90 minutes. So we're gonna try to do it. If we fail, we fail, but I'm sure we're gonna have fun doing it. Since we already have a lightning lane for Big Thunder mountain railroad, we're gonna actually go over to splash mountain because I don't think I can get a lightning lane after that. So I don't know, it might be a little difficult but we're gonna actually head over there now and it's a 45 minute from this point for Big Thunder mountain. I can't wait to see what splash mountain is like. Maybe in the hopes that once we get in line for splash mountain and ride that, by the time we get off, it'll be time for the lightning lane for Big Thunder mountain so we can basically just go bang bang. You know, very easy peasy. That's the plan, hopefully. As I'm waiting, I actually checked and I can buy a lightning lane for Space Mountain for $7. So I think I'm gonna buy one right now for $2.10 so we can kinda stack them and it's gonna be perfect. I think we're gonna make good timing. So I'm gonna buy it, seven bucks. Well, that went quicker than I thought. I think we're gonna be able to do all of the mountains in just a couple hours and I'm in the back row. The cannons are off over here too today. So we're not gonna get splash or water here but we are gonna catch some people coming down. I could go for some Muskrat moonshine or some Critter Elixir. That'd be a little fun day here on Splash Mountain. I'm gonna go for some Muskrat moonshine or some Critter Elixir. That'd be a little fun day here on Splash Mountain. I'm gonna go for some Muskrat moonshine or some Critter Elixir. I believe in Muskrat moonshine. I believe in Muskrat moonshine. I'm gonna go for some Muskrat moonshine. I'm gonna go for some Muskrat moonshine. All right, now I'm gonna go get some top. I'm gonna get some top. I don't care what you're going to do. I'm gonna get some top. Yeah, I don't wanna go to the beach. We got a ghost flume behind us. Oh no! I didn't grab the hat fast enough! Well that was a great way to start off our little day. I'm so excited. I went to go film us going down the plummet, but I didn't get my camera out. It was quick enough, so then when I did I turned it on. I didn't grab my hat off fast enough, so the camera got soaking wet. So I'm sorry if the picture after the drop is a little bit watery. But I had a lot of fun. And now it's time for Big Thunder Mawin because when we got in line it said 55 minutes. But honestly this line goes pretty quick. I would say maybe 35, maybe 40 minutes. And now it's our lightning lane time. I should have probably timed this a little bit better. But it's kind of like a spur of the moment. Like we're going to do the mountain challenge. And I think we started our day off at 12 o'clock. So when we first started walking in we said 12 o'clock because we were heading on into Frontierland. So now it is one o'clock. It's time for Big Thunder Mawin. We got Splash Mawin done. And I'm interested to see what the total time it takes to actually do all four attractions. Splash Mawin, Big Thunder Mawin, Space Mawin, and Seven Doors Mind Train. If you count that as a mountain. I know that there's a lot of people that comment on the way that I say mountain. It's just kind of the way I grew up. And that's how I say it. I don't know. Is it a regional accent? Like a northern accent? Because when I grew up I grew up on Sport Mountain. So it's just how I've always said it growing up. Does anybody else say that? I do sometimes try to pronounce the T. Only because I do know that some people always say it like I say it wrong. So I try to say mountain. But it's just I don't know. It comes out mountain. Let me know in the comments if you know of anyone that says it like that. I asked a couple people back home and I'm like hey how do you say Mawin? And they say Mawin. And I'm like Mawin? Mawin. And they kind of say it the same way too. But they also say a couple two tree. So I don't know. Maybe it's just from where I grew up. Now it's time for our lightning lane. And look at what my fancy magic band does. Hold on. Fancy. Thank you. For some reason it sounds like a Star Wars blaster. I don't know why. It lights up red. But I'll do it again. The reason I say for some reason is because this is a Christmas magic band. So I don't know why it goes pew pew. Looks like we're going to have the front row on UB bold. Oh no. This is I am fearless. Not UB bold. I thought we were getting UB bold. We'll move them. UB bold. Also look at those cobwebs down there. Cobwebs I say. Mind if you drop that Fred. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Yeah. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Oh boy. The front is really bumpy. I haven't rode front row in a while. Look at that shot at Cinderella Castle though. I love it. Actually all of Big Thunder Mowen. I love it. And here we go. That was such a bumpy ride. I was getting tossed around like a rag doll in here. Holy moly. I am fearless. Does not mess around. I'll tell you that. It's very very bumpy. That was a great ride on Big Thunder Mowen. And now it is 120. So we have 40 minutes before our lightning lane for space. Mowen that we paid $7 for now. That's not a part of Genie Plus. That is an individual purchase. I checked to see if Seven Doors Mind Train had a lightning lane that I could purchase for $10. But I don't see one until 6.30 tonight. So that's like five hours away. And I don't think there's a point in that. But we're going to keep checking regardless. Since we have a couple minutes before our space mountain lightning lane. I want to try some more of the 50th anniversary treats that we haven't got to try yet. And right here they have Wendell's Bear Claw. Which is a traditional bear claw dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with hazelnuts. They also have a Joffrey's Coffee Cold Brew. And it comes with a special syrup. And they have a seasonal offering for 50 cents extra. So maybe we'll try those two combinations. A bear claw and a cold brew. The seasonal offering is peppermint. So we're going to have to add our own cream to it. We're going to do three cream maybe. We'll see what it looks like. Oh yeah. That three cream might do it. Maybe two and a half. Two and a half. And then one packet of sugar. There we go. Excellent. Look at how it's just kind of like floating there. It's very majestic. Oh no. I lost my sugar packet. Watch this. Oh yeah. Oh. Much too good. I had to bring my bear claw over to the Country Bear Jamboree to get that Instagram photo. But take a look of it. There it is. I can't wait to try it. They told me there's Nutella in the middle. So this is going to be so, so good. I can also see all the hazelnuts on there. I'm excited. Of course we're going to have to break open the bear claw and see the Nutella. So here we go. I think I'm just going to crack it right down the middle. It kind of looks like a croissant. But here we go. Oh wow. Look at all that Nutella in there. I'm excited. All right. Here we go. Wendell will be proud. Very good. I also like how they put all of the 50th anniversary snacks in this 50th anniversary wrapper. And if you guys could have seen the way that I just shot this video, I set my camera right here. And I set my bear claw right here. And I was so worried that it might fell down. But look it. Now here comes the ducks. They think I got something for them. I ain't got nothing for ya. I'm sorry little fella. Like I said before, it's still amazing how many of the 50th anniversary treats that I have not got to try yet. Uh oh. We got some wind going there. I might have lost my bear claw. My bear claw. But there are so many treats that I haven't got to try yet. Now I'm going to try some Joffrey's cold brew. I do love the cold brew. I lost my bear claw. There it goes. I lost my bear claw. There it is. Floating in the water. So sad. Look at it. I feel so bad. The ducks are going to get it now for sure. I'm sure the ducks are going to love that. I don't even think they know that it's down there. Oh there's a fish. A fish just grabbed it. Oh look they're coming for it now. I want to see if I can catch another fishy there. Oh now there's your dragonfly on top of it. You see that? That is so crazy. All the wildlife are enjoying my bear claw. And I'm not. Anyhoo's I'm sure. If I went back they'd give me another bear claw. But I enjoyed the bites that I did have of it. It is very delicious. And it's definitely something you need to drink with. Because the nutella and the chocolate definitely makes your mouth very dry. So cheers to the cold brew. I've lost a lot of things in Walt Disney World. But I think that's the first time I've ever lost a bear claw in Magic Kingdom. Now I think we're going to make our way over to Tomorrowland. And get ready to ride Space Mountain. And like I said we're making unbelievably like amazing time. I didn't think today would be like so quick and fast. Now it wouldn't be that way if we didn't buy all the individual lightning lanes and the genie plus. So technically today I spent $15, $10, $7. So almost $30. And I've gotten to ride. I'm going to be able to ride four rides. Four rides. I do have the option to actually ride more than four rides. If I pull up the app now we can see what I have available for the genie plus. So as you can see we could have made another splash mountain lightning lane. Well technically that would be our first one since we waited in the standby. And that would be for $5.10. Then we can also do the barnstormer at $255. Buzz Lightyear at $3.15. What else do we have here? Oh Dumbo at $2.45. You know I do love me some Dumbo. I mean that would be fun. But honestly the wait probably isn't that long. Or Haunted Mansion at 6 o'clock. So most of it is pretty spread out actually. I don't see anything that I can really do right after Space Mountain. Maybe the many adventures of Winnie the Pooh that's at $3.50 though. Yeah not too much. Peter Pan's flight not till $7.20 tonight though. I do have to say I feel like I probably could have gone today without buying the genie plus service. Because the wait time for Space Mountain right now is 45 minutes. Before Big Thunder Mountain was 35. I did wait in the standby for Splash Mountain. And I really don't have a certain time that I can go do Seven Doors Mine train because it's not till much later on. So I could have probably done that. You know what I mean? Without actually spending the money. And I probably would have only waited an extra hour the whole day. Oh well I guess it's kind of just a chance whether it's worth it or not. Because you really can't predict the day. And now we're gonna go touch the magic band reader with our fancy magic band again. Here we go bing bing. That is so fun isn't it? As we're walking in the queue I'm starting to think that that 45 minute sign was a lie. Because it shouldn't be this far back out if it's 45 minutes. Holy moly. I would pay $7 to skip that line any day of the week. That is probably about 70 minutes I feel like. Lucky number 16. There we go. Daddy needs a new pair of shoes. Look at the load control panel there. Oh we're leaving. Enjoy your flight. It matches my mask. He made it. And look who made it back with us. And there we have it. That's the traditional mountain challenge right there. Space mountain, splash mountain, big thunder mountain. And we did it in under two hours technically. Like that's pretty amazing isn't it? But some people say Seven Doors mind train is a part of the mountain challenge because it is a mountain technically. So we're gonna add that in right now and we're gonna go see if we can hop in the standby line. Or we're gonna keep checking the app to see maybe they might actually have a lightning lane like pop up. I don't know if they do that or not but we'll keep checking. Well the good news is the queue for Seven Doors mind train is all inside the attraction. Nothing on the outside yet so that's actually a really really good sign. Might be 40 maybe 60 minutes. I would think so yeah cause it's not even back up all the way. Usually you're waiting in line like out here and it's wrapping around but not today. One thing I do have to say about the Seven Doors mind train queue is it's got adequate like air flow. The fans are amazing and it keeps you cool while you're waiting. Almost there. There we go we have officially done it. All four marins and I would say the wait was probably about an hour. Like it was a long line but it's much better than doing it now than waiting until 6.30 when I can get a lightning lane. And here it comes. Lucky number row number one. I love how it just starts off like that. Woo boy. And here we go. There we go. I love this ride but it's just way too short. But my favorite part is coming up right here. We're gonna come up close with the witch. Boy look at her. She's gonna give us an evil laugh. Terrifying. Well I guess we take that as a win. I love riding Seven Doors mind train. I feel like it goes by so fast. Like it's not a very long ride but it's very fun. It's very smooth and it's great for families. It's just for me like willing to pay like cold hard cash for it. I feel like you know I might want to just skip it or find a time that it actually is a lower wait time. But today we got to do four roller coasters for four mountain rides and three hours. Two of them we did stand by. Two of them we paid for. And yeah I had a lot of fun doing it. So that's all that matters. Now I guess I'll keep making my way down Main Street USA. It was a fun day so far. Like I said we got a lot accomplished. I got to try a new treat. Ride some rides and just enjoy the park itself. Even on a crowded holiday like time of the year. Like normally it's super busy here and people kind of tend to avoid coming out to the parks when it's super busy. But I had a great time today. I really did. And I guess with that we're going to call it a day here today. I mean I had such a fun little day enjoying the Magic Kingdom. Riding rides, making a video like I said. Doing all the things that I love in the place that makes me happy. And you know you can't be upset about that. You can never be upset with being at Disney World. And I just love it every single time. So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye. As we start making our way out though seems like we get to say goodbye to Goofy, Chip and Dale and Mickey and Minnie. Donald and Pluto. Look at them all up there on the train station. This is like one of the best things that I've seen come out of this whole entire shutdown. Because like having this as you're actually exiting the park every single day is so amazing. You know what I mean? I really do love seeing them all giving a goodbye a farewell. And it fits perfectly because once you go through those archways there it always says see you real soon and nobody can read that without hearing Mickey's voice. So it's always nice seeing Mickey and then see you real soon.
