 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Epcot. I wanted to come out and try some more of the festival of the holiday offerings Walk around World Showcase ride some rides eat some food and enjoy a beautiful afternoon at Epcot Anywho's let's go do this Something new they started doing here at Epcot is the Super Zoom photo pass Opportunity where they actually take a photo of you from like way up there and it zooms in Revealing all of Spaceship Earth and I said next time I come here. I wanted to do it and today seems like the day Isn't that a really neat photo pass photo? I love it They do it over at the Magic Kingdom with Cinderella Castle and now they're doing it over here at Spaceship Earth And I'm so excited. I got to do it finally Today is December 13th. So let's check out the wait times before we start our day It looks like frozen ever after is 120 minute wait Test Track is 65 minutes. I think it actually just went up five minutes as we are staring at it virtual queues for Remy's Ratatouille are closed for the day and Soaring around the world is 90 minutes. So it looks like it's a very busy day at Epcot today I always like to start off my day by checking the wait times and kind of getting a feel of the park And today that feel is super busy, especially with like frozen ever after being 120 minute wait And soaring being 90 minutes. There are no individual lightning lanes to purchase. They're all sold out for the day So instead I think we're gonna ride some figment and then head over to world showcase And eat some food and check out some of the festival the holiday shows I know there's a couple of sanas that I actually want to see that I haven't seen before And just like I said enjoy a wonderful little Epcot evening As I'm making my way over to figment though I wanted to stop and see santa santa poo. Hi santa poo. I like your red shirt. We match. It looks good. It looks good on you Thank you. Yeah, fancy that is awesome Too good I love seeing characters all dressed up in like christmas outfits and speaking of that We're gonna go ride journey into imagination where figment has this christmas sweater on I haven't got to see him all year yet. I haven't been able to come back out to Epcot since the festival of the holiday started So I want to see him in his little christmas sweater He's always so adorable and we can always rely on figment for having a kind of low wait time not like 90 minutes or 120 minutes Take a look at that 20 minutes. Probably not going to be 20 minutes though. It might be maybe 10 minutes They're also playing christmas music over here, which is really awesome One of the things I've always been excited to try to find was buzz light year inside Journey into imagination with figment and I know he's in here somewhere, but I don't know where to look So we're gonna have to try to spot him out Oh, there he is right there. Holy moly. I'm gonna try to zoom in for you guys Right there he is isn't that so awesome. We've got a little buzz light year figure right there Isn't that so cool I love the fact that they use buzz kind of like as an easter egg over in california adventure You can actually see them underneath one of the cones and I like the fact that buzz light year is here in Epcot as well Now it's time to board good old j2 j2 Welcome welcome welcome to our special drive through open house Whoa, who is this it's figment 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 Every sound your ears are hearing a thousand thoughts can start appearing Hoping we end up getting this cinnamon smell today that'd be good for the holidays That'd be a cool thing to switch out like a little christmas scent But instead we always get that scum This is not a good time It's always a good time to use your imagination. So let the good times roll House upside down upside down now you're talking This idea you've had all day With just the spark of inspiration I made my house Well, that was a nice fun ride on journey into imagination And i'm happy we got to see figment in his little christmas sweater And also how cool was it at the end scene there where the walls come down one of them was already stuck down So it was kind of like a malfunction and it was really nice to see that I've seen that I've seen it before But I don't think I've ever caught it on video. So that was the first time very cool But now I think we're gonna head on over to world showcase Now that we have made it to world showcase We're gonna actually go to the right and start over in canada usually I actually go Towards mexico, but I kind of want to try the non sweet items for the festival the holidays I mean normally festival the holidays is just a sweet festival with tons of cookies and desserts But there's a couple of boots that have some pretty good savory items that I want to explore today I already did a full video where I went around and tried like all the cookies on the cookies throw And a lot of the sweet items and that was for the opening day So if you want to watch that video and see the sweet items I'll put a link in the description so you can check it out But today we just want some like, you know, savory normal food items Our first stop is going to be here at the refreshment port for the turkey poutine And I cannot wait to try this. This looks so so good french fries with turkey gravy cranberry relish and crispy onions They also have a coquito sauce or that sounds pretty amazing But like I said, we're going to try not to get as many sweets as can as we can And just kind of focus on some good old like savory food items like turkey poutine I always thought that poutine had like cheese curds in it I mean it traditionally comes with cheese curds like the traditional one that they're selling here Which they do sell is beef gravy with cheese curds and french fries But this is kind of like their holiday spin on it and I'm excited because it looks really good And here it is take a look at that. This is actually looking so so good lots and lots of turkey I mean they really load up the turkey on there and then we got some crispy onions some cranberry relish and the gravy And I cannot wait to dive into this and I'm going to use a fork because this is something you just you definitely have to fork I think we've got a little bit of everything in one bite all the turkey french fry gravy relish and crispy onions So we're just going for it This is so so good and it's nine dollars, but they give you so much I'm really shocked by how much turkey they actually put on here Like there were just like chunks and chunks of turkey and tons of french fries I feel like you could use a little bit more gravy though because once you actually get to the top there There's no gravy in between there. So you got to kind of get the gravy down below build a little cave Put a little gravy in there. That's the way to do it I do have to say the gravy is amazing and I love that there's big chunks of turkey in there And it's just a really good dish too like good value for nine dollars Now we're going to move along and we're going to get something from the canada booth yukon the beef boyanon And it's so funny because the refreshment port has the uh poutine and this has the booth boyanon So it's really uh kind of both canada-ish I guess Here is a quick look at the menu. I hear the scallops are good But today we're going to be trying the beef and I did have the snickers doodle cookie For the cookie stroll and that was a fun little take on it, but I'm excited to try the beef with the little crushed potatoes It's been a little difficult to find tables or trash cans to eat your food on But I kind of lucked out here and I got myself a brick wall You really can't ask for a better place to eat some beef boyanye Then on a little brick wall here in the canada pavilion and take a look There it is. Looks pretty good. Looks like it's got a pretty good amount of beef on there too Don't you see all that right there? I think those are chunks of beef But we're gonna have to dive in and find out Let's just move around a little bit and see What we got here. Oh, yeah, look at this right here. That's a good spot right there This is gonna be some good dente more right here. Oh, yeah, can't wait to try it Seriously, this is really really good It's another big portion item because these are all chunks of beef in here Like I would say at least like five or six different like chunks of beef And the reason I said dente more is because I'm kind of reminds me of dente more I do love dente more and also look how close I am to losing this Kind of like Humpty Dumpty on a wall here, but it's beef boyanye on the wall Honestly, I really do believe festival the holidays has the best portions for their food items You know, I mean this was six dollars and this is like a big big portion And the same thing with the french fries and a couple of items that I do plan on eating a little bit later on the vlog You'll notice that the portion size are a little bit bigger than like say food and wine or festival the arts But yeah, two winners in a row Now it's time we actually get moving along and try some more food items and just kind of enjoy world showcase I'm love hearing the music as you're walking around and also I want to see if we can see any of the christmas stories on our way Last time we were here, we got to see father christmas and the barn santa But I would love to see pierre noelle over in france and then also the storytelling in italy Those both look so much fun and I didn't get to see them last time we were here So we're gonna keep our eye out for them today I hear pierre noelle, but I don't know where he's at. He should be coming around any second now There he comes Ah Bonjour As we say in my country Why you don't know well What mean Merry christmas Merry christmas Look at all the toys no no no toys do you know who I am We some people call me santa I am I am known by many names around the world Here in france with me. I am the pair no well Father christmas I am the good spirit of this season Because he's waiting for me to see all of you In such good spirit Wow pierre no well is so awesome. He is so fun And it's just I don't know like it just gets me so happy seeing him Same thing with uh father christmas over in the uk. It's just so amazing. It makes me feel like so full of holiday cheer Santas aren't the only people that you can actually stumble upon here at epcot's world showcase Look at aurora out here. Just looking beautiful posing in front of spaceship earth That is really awesome. Oh, wow. She did a little spin there I really wanted to get some of the locuses from leheim, but the line is so so long. Holy moly I have had the black and white cookie here for the cookie stroll But I really wanted to try those potato locus, but just take a look at the line here Like it is so so long. I mean maybe the locus is just that good. Hi friend I mean honestly could be probably 30 minutes to actually get them So I don't know if we're gonna have time for that especially if we want to see another sanny So sadly, I think we're gonna have to pass on the locus Maybe we'll get them another time. Like I said the lines just seem like they're super long And it's getting super dark earlier and earlier here in orlando. Sometimes it gets dark at 5 30 So I want to see if I can get at least one more santa story Look at how beautiful the sky is right now. Sorry. I had to just stop and just take it in because it is so beautiful I love it. You can see the sun reflecting off test track and also at the top of the mexico pavilion there I think I'm gonna zoom in to show you guys a little bit closer because this is beautiful Look at that. Isn't that just beautiful? I love it. I love being at world showcase during a sunset. It is absolutely amazing One thing I learned no matter how busy you are they have to stop and enjoy a sunset Especially in florida because they're free and they happen every single day We've made it to the american pavilion and it looks like the candlelight processional is happening Lisa laying is being the special guest narrator and look at this the five o'clock showing and there's a big big turnout already I love it though Now it looks like there's not a huge line for the american holiday table And I wouldn't mind getting something to eat from here. Now. We've already had some turkey with the uh Poutine but what about this holiday pot pie jackfruit mushrooms carrots peas onions and a puff pastry Right there. That looks so so good. And I think we're gonna do it. I think we're all in on the holiday pot pie You have to take advantage of any of the festival boots that don't have a long line because We've been seeing long lines basically at all of them. It's just a hind. That was like the longest line I'll take a look at this and it also looks like the lights are starting to get bright enough that we can see them Or it's not getting bright enough. It's just getting darker out and look. There's the moon too Oh, I love it. I love that the american pavilion has like their own big christmas tree over here And it's just a little special touch to it. And I think there's a spaceship birth in there somewhere We're gonna have to take a look see and see if we can find it Well, my intentions was just to get the holiday pot pie and it's made with jackfruit I've never had jackfruit before so i'm not sure if I like that or not And I ended up getting that plus the turkey because I just needed to get the turkey I need to know what it tastes like. I remember having this like two years ago and it was amazing And I wonder like if it's going to be the same thing like the same type And here they are here is the holiday pot pie and it's got some very buttery flaky crust And it looks really really good. I can't wait to actually see the inside And then right here's the turkey dinner and it comes with some green beans some stuffing turkey Wasn't that just amazing I had to wait because they didn't want to eat during joy to the world It kind of like just took off and it hit and I was just like, oh, it got me very excited I love the candlelight processional. So kind of hanging out here and having that play in the background. So awesome First things first, let's crack in the holiday pot pie. Oh, wow. I can hear the buttery flaky crust like break Oh, look at that That looks so so good Now this is my first time trying jackfruit and this is completely plant-based and I can't wait. I'm very excited Hmm That is so interesting. It just tastes like meat actually and look at that buttery fakie buttery fakie Buttery buttery buttery fakie crust the buttery fakie crust. You guys know what i'm talking about there It is so good though Now it's time to dive into the turkey din din and this looks so so good I'm glad that I got them both to try the jackfruit was okay But I didn't like the other inside like I didn't like the the filling as much on the holiday pot pie I mean, I'm not a big fan of mushrooms and there is mushrooms in there But it kind of just seemed a little lackluster, you know Now we need to be able to get a little bit of mashed potatoes And a little bit of stuffing and some turkey. I should have bought a knife But look at that. I could eat this big chunk if I wanted to Here we go some more turkey dinner a little bit everything in there plus some green beans and stuffing. I'm very excited Wow And for only five dollars That is phenomenal. That is the best value right here at the festival of the holidays That is so good. I can't get over it. I love it Very nice. Thank you The stuffing is where it's at though. That is the best thing about this meal right here. I love the stuffing Time goes by so fast here at Epcot one second I'm meeting a turkey din din and a holiday pot pie and it's light outside and now It's got dark and space ship earth is starting to turn on there Isn't that kind of cool? You get to see that with the reflection in the water It's very very pretty We're gonna keep moving along though when we're coming up on the germany pavilion Now there's not many items that I like here other than the linzer cookie which was absolutely amazing So we'll check out the line and see if there's anything else that we can get But usually germany has like one of the longest lines probably even longer than leheim Oh, yeah, this is definitely longer than leheim and it's got like two long switchbacks So you have to go all the way up down that way down this way and then back up that way And we've had almost everything here like the porch nitzel was kind of like the same porch nitzel That you would get inside the beer garden and we've already had the linzer cookie before in the past So I think we're just gonna skip over it I was really trying to avoid all of the sweet items today because like I wanted to make it all about The savory items but there is something that I did miss that I really wanted to try And I said next time I come out I'm gonna try it and that's right over here in the african outpost And it is a coconut cake topped with pineapple dole whip and it just I just need to try it It needs to happen today Right here it is the coconut pineapple cake with dole whip pineapple $5 for this bad boy, and I am excited to try it. So we're getting it today And take a look at this So it's basically like a coconut cake at the bottom or maybe that's the pineapple cake topped with some pineapple dole whip and then sprinkled with coconut and I cannot wait to try it also Look at this balancing job right here Does that make anybody nervous? Well, I don't think I'm going to be able to eat it like that But I just wanted to show you and this is the only place that had some lighting So I think we're going to take a little bit all oh look at that. It just breaks right in half I am pretty excited to try this just the way that cake kind of just fell apart there and I love dole whip too Wow, oh, yeah That is so So good I love it. I'm glad we decided to get this. You know what I mean? It's just it is really a very very good dessert I do love me some dole whip But my favorite thing about this is the cake itself like it is that good We went from pineapple coconut cakes to Norway and where the barn Santa would normally be And I think they're done doing any of the storytelling tonight Which makes me a little sad because we never got to catch any and I just like being able to come up and look at their display Like I never get to actually just look at the detail in here Like they have a little cart over here and it's got some squirrels and a fox there And the barn Santa is one of my all-time favorites. So that's really nifty. This is one I absolutely love and I got to see it the first day on opening day and I'm happy because he's so awesome Well, now I think we made a full lap around world showcase We started in front of the christmas tree It was daylight out and you couldn't see the lights and now it's like seven o'clock completely dark out And the tree is just shining and sparkling. It's a beaut clerk It's kind of funny because when you're here at ebcot, you kind of don't know what to stare at like the The christmas tree is like super beautiful But then you just like look to the right and spaceship earth is beautiful One's lit up. The other one's lit up. It's kind of just like bing bong bing bong Now I think we're gonna make our way back out to the front of the park though But I do want to check the wait times to see what they look like now compared to four hours ago And here is a look at the wait times now. It looks like Grand Fiesta tour is 10 minutes Uh, it doesn't have any other wait times right here. I think this is only for uh World showcase I think Let's see. Hold on here. Oh, there we go frozen ever after is 115 minutes Test track 55 minutes mission space 30 minutes and soren was 60 minutes. So that's still a pretty long busy day Before we actually make our way out. I'm gonna stop into the creation shop I want to see if they have any of the new 50th anniversary merchandise or the christmas or cinderella castle collection for my sister I stumbled upon some pretty cool t-shirts though. Look at this retro Walt Disney world one with all the ears on it That is so awesome. I actually really like it because it has the sorcerer mickey ears It has malveston ears. It has the groom ears This is a really really cool shirt right there And then also I like this one as well But these aren't what I was looking for I was looking for the uh cinderella castle spirit jersey for my sister for christmas And i'm not too sure if they have it here Looks like i'm not seeing it here today I did hear it was only released into disney springs, but I thought maybe they might have brought it into the other shop So uh fingers crossed by the time I get the disney springs. They actually still have it If not, maybe we'll get you something else bonbon I thought for a second that this was it, but this is just another different one I mean, this is nice too. I'm guessing she'll like it But she really wanted the one with like the cinderella castle on it the one where I got her magic bands Oh, well, I think she already knew that I was getting her a magic band anyway, but anyways Wow Now we've come outside and they got these lights actually going on and off and you hear the christmas music And it's so beautiful like I don't know if you can hear the christmas music, but I hear it right now. It's singing uh I'm dreaming of a Christmas That's what it sounds like it's so amazing It's also nice to see the splash pad going in december Look at that. I actually I didn't even know they turned it back on in general, but look at that But it was going up. There we go a little bit there A little bit there We might be safe enough to walk in here No, we're not Yep Things escalate pretty quickly there, you know, look at that big beautiful spaceship earth Oh, I love it so much That was awesome seeing it kind of just turn on like that and sparkle and shine. Look at that Yeah Anywho's I think that is going to do it for us today I like how my face is kind of like in the light. Look at that It's kind of like a funny camera trick that i'm doing right now But it's just the amazing lights on spaceship earth. Isn't it really cool? Anywho's I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it. It was a lot of fun going around trying the different food Seeing figment and his sweater and just enjoying an evening at Epcot. So we'll see you next time Bye I still get excited every time I see one of these fast and furious monorails coming through Look at that One of the best things to come out of the 50th anniversary Is definitely the lights on spaceship earth and the lights on the monorail So cool
