 Hey friends today, I am hanging out at Disney's Hollywood studios I came out today because there's a lot of new things happening for the month of August Extended park hours a couple new experiences and a returning night time show. I am so excited Anyhoo's let's go do this The park is open till 9 o'clock tonight and that is amazing It's been closing as early as seven and eight o'clock for the longest time But because we have a night time show now We get a little extra hour in there and it makes a big difference because I really haven't seen Hollywood studios like lit up at night for a while It has been a couple of really hot days here in Florida So I waited until way in the afternoon to come out Especially if I plan on staying until much later on so we can see the night time show and yeah It's a lot cooler. So that's a really good fun fact If you guys want to avoid the heat just wait and come a little bit later in the afternoon or Go early in the morning leave for the afternoon and then come back I might start off the day here at the trolley car and get myself a iced coffee or a nitro cold brew Not too sure maybe something fancy I want to get some coffee and then ride some rides just hang out go over the park There's one new experience that I want to check out But it might have closed early so we'll find out if there's certain times that we can actually go do it But I mean overall I want to just enjoy a night at Hollywood studios and stay all the way to the night time show Looks like we got a little Chippendale here. I Love your whiskers Pluto And there he is the man himself I Got super excited because I've seen a cavalcade was coming So I abandoned the idea of going to get a coffee and I wanted to go watch the cavalcade and now there's a huge line For coffee, so I'm not sure if we're gonna get one right now There was only like half of this line when I first walked up, but as soon as I seen the cavalcade I was like, oh, I'll come right back. So maybe we won't do it right now Right before that though I was explaining that the wonderful world of animation is returning tonight and that's gonna be a projection on the Chinese theater It's gonna be a projection show now I don't know if it's gonna be the same one that we last saw or if it's gonna be a new one because it's been probably a good year and a half two years, I believe and Yeah, I'm excited to see it regardless It's gonna be a 12-minute show and it's gonna start right at nine o'clock So we're gonna have to be here just so we can get a good spot Maybe maybe we'll come like a half an hour, you know beforehand It's really hard to not get a good spot because basically you're just staring right at the Chinese theater So there's plenty of open space And since that is not till nine o'clock tonight There are a couple of other things I want to show you and a couple of things I want to do actually I Here tell us something new inside Walt Disney presents We have to wear our face coverings don't whenever we go indoors. So you're gonna have to mask up mask up At least the AC inside Walt Disney presents is really really strong. So it's nice and cool and refreshing in here Right down here in this dark corridor the monsters Incorporated Experience has opened and look how bright it is. I feel like I'm going into some futuristic place. I Had to change up the lighting a little bit because it is super bright when you first walk in but take a look at all this It is so cool in here This used to be where you would meet characters. I remember meeting monsters Incorporated characters. I remember meeting baby Groot in here. Lots of cool things This is really really awesome I like it I'm so happy they did something with this back here instead of just leaving it empty Like I remember meeting BB8 here and this is where a little baby Groot was and then you can meet Star Lord And I also met Mike and Sully here like I said before but now it's kind of just like a door photo opportunity Got some nice artworks some funky lights and music. I can hang out in here. I Think monsters Incorporated is one of the best Disney movies out there I really really loved it and I would love for them to do a Monsters Inc like layover to the rock and roller coaster where you're actually like flying through the door factory I think that would be such a cool experience. I would love to see a Monsters Inc ride here in Florida they have one over at California Adventure, but nothing over here really And once you get done with the Monsters Inc experience, you can come right out to the Walt Disney Theater They're gonna be playing one man's dream I love hanging out in Walt Disney presents And I love the tagline from Mickey Mouse to the Magic Kingdoms and beyond isn't that so fancy like wow I love it. It's so cool Just as I was coming out of Walt Disney presents I was able to grab myself a walk-up reservation for the Hollywood in Vine And I'm very excited because it's Minnie's summertime dine And I don't think I've been here since it reopened and I think it was for Halloween So it'd be nice to see just a regular summertime dine and yeah And plus I'll be a little hungry and then we can eat food and then watch the show It'll be a while before that though But at least we got something to look forward to right before the show for some reason I always like going to get like a dinner reservation and then having like a nighttime show or fireworks right afterwards because they could just come out And it's kind of like like a dinner show You know what I mean? So like if you're eating at the Crystal Palace and then as soon as you get done with dinner You go on see happily ever after. I feel like that always co-exist like with like a nice time, you know In the meantime, I came back around and there's no line for the trolley car. Look at that. So we can go get our coffee But wait a second There's another cavalcade coming either I go get the coffee or I watch the cavalcade because if I go watch the cavalcade Everyone will rush over here, and then there's gonna be a big line. Oh boy. What to do? There we go. That's the stuff exactly what we need it. It also looks like it might be raining here. I Think we'll take our coffee and stroll on down to Andy's backyard See what the wait time for attractions are and try not to get soaking wet now I looked and it didn't say it was gonna rain. It said it was gonna rain earlier today But looks like it's gonna rain a little bit later tonight. So hopefully we can seek some shelter. I Love hanging out back here. It is so fun and festive and it's beautiful at night with all these like Christmas bulbs and there goes slinky I Like in there goes slinky, maybe we can ride this that'd be fun I wasn't planning on riding slinky dog dash But when I seen it kind of doing its lap there, I was like, I really would there goes it I would really want to ride it look It's so fun It also looks like it's just about a 45 50 minute wait It's good to point out that even though this is an outdoor ride and an outdoor queue You still need to wear your mask regardless. It just tells you mask on on all indoor things, but this is separate. Oh boy. Here we go Yes, I love it. Oh Yeah, right here my favorite part Oh Okay, let's hide up the mask don't let that line off get our glasses all fixed Secure here we go Yes The dog dash is the best it always puts me in the greatest of moods It's just I don't know it's like not like an intense like thrilling roller coaster But it just makes you feel so happy and giggly like it really is fun While I was waiting in line for slinky dog dash, which I only waited probably I'd say 35 maybe 40 minutes It had like a little rainstorm and now it is super humid Like it is probably the hottest it's been all day I'm still waiting for Hollywood and Vine to actually text me back for my walk-up reservation It said 55 minutes and it's been about an hour So maybe they're just to run it a little bit behind but also walk-up reservations I hear is not a guarantee sometimes they could texture like two hours later Maybe so I mean we have time as long as it doesn't come like right before the show starts I still think we'll be pretty good. I Guess in the meantime, we'll take a stroll down sunset. Maybe go check on the Tower of Terror I'm sure that's a pretty long wait, so I don't think we're gonna be able to ride But you never know we might get there and it might be 13 minutes One of the things I don't like about having to wear a mask indoors again It's usually when you're walking down and you can feel the AC coming out of the stores You feel like you want to just duck in there to cool off for a bit But now I really don't feel like that because then you got to put your mask on and everything like that And you really can't get cool and comfortable with the mask on so it really makes it hard to actually find a place to sit down in AC Unless you're actively eating or drinking I love sitting here listening to the music too. It's so pretty here Look at the balloons are coming out the Tower of Terror right behind them the music The Tower of Terror says 40 minutes I'm afraid to push it because once if they text me why we're in line for the ride We I think we only have 15 minutes to get there, but at the same time 15 minutes So like we're looking at a 30 minute possibility. I don't know it's gonna be a tough decision Tower of Terror or possibly not be able to eat at Hollywood and Vine I Think we're gonna roll the dice. It says 40 minutes. So like I said, you have 15 minutes So 40 minutes minus 15 is 25 minutes. So we're looking at like a 25 minute difference I mean, I really think this is possible. We might be able to do them both. I Legitably just got the text as I'm about to get in the elevator It actually shot us all the way up again for like the second time usually you don't go all the way up Like you only do it once but it did it twice on that, but now we need to get over to the Hollywood Vine. I Am very excited to eat here. It's a character experience or a character dining So we're gonna be able to interact with characters and also I think it's kind of like the Crystal Palace where it is all you care to enjoy But it's per entree So like though like you pick one entree and you can get as much as you want They're pretty big portions like full meal. So I don't know if you can eat more But you can always get more salad or even the desserts too because it's a kind of a course meal Here is a look at the menu for appetizers You get a farmhouse tall salad or a plant-based chopped salad and then you pick one entree So they beef tenderloin macaroni and cheese and shrimp salmon. They have a turkey dinner kind of Spice-Rub pork loin or asparagus and summer truffle risotto That sounds amazing and then you pick a dessert and they have white chocolate cheesecake Chocolate s'more pie cherry pie lemon cake and vanilla crème brûlée. Oh, this sounds really really delicious It is $55 and that's basically the going great for any character dining $55 for chef Mickey's $55 for I think Gordon grill I'm not too sure about that, but $55 is basically the going wait for any of the character dinings Time to eat look at many doing all twirl. Whoa. What a welcoming Thanks, mini. Oh Wow, that was great. Oh, there's Mickey too. We're gonna see more of them a little bit later. Oh Nice Okay, that was awesome. What a way to walk in mini was doing a twirl. They're all in their summertime outfits I can't wait to see the goof and now I got myself a power raid and Yeah, I got to figure out what I want to eat Look at Pluto when his summer collar on that looks fancy. Look at you. I like your whiskers too always Very springy, I love it. Thank you, Pluto Now we got our first look at Pluto there I'm excited to see what goofy summertime outfits gonna be and also I think I'm gonna decide on getting the turkey dinner Kind of like a mixture of Thanksgiving comes with cornbread stuffing green beans turkey and all the works I feel like that's the best one. I think before last time I was here I had the prime rib or wasn't prime rib. It was a beef tenderloin. So I'm gonna mix it up a little bit here As we wait we got ourselves some dinner bread. These look really delicious And then also the farmhouse salad that looks really really good these croutons look fresh Oh, wait a second though. Is that the goof? Oh, it is Who what is up my friend? You look fantastic. I like your outfit. I first I thought that was a power line shirt It would have been cool. We need a power line shirt. Definitely. Where's maxi No, we don't know I was sleeping maxi sleep always playing a game figures. That's how they all are Also take a look at goofy shoes Look at those bad boys That is awesome, isn't it? Oh Look at the dancing This is too good, honestly Amazing Did he just do the Carlton I think you did he did he just did the Carlton Wow I think it was worth fifty five dollars just to be able to see the goof through the Carlton dance move honestly That was great. So fun The dance moves cannot be beat today Thank you Whoa, and just like that the food has arrived while they're quick on this. I'm really happy I'm loving the vibe in here so far. We had doofy and Pluto come out to the table when we walk it in we had Mickey and Minnie So I'm sure they'll make their round soon, but we get to eat this in time We have turkey gravy mashed potatoes cornbread stuffing green beans and then looks like some cranberry peach I'm not even sure what that's in there, but it looks delicious Now I did ask and you can get more of this so like you can get as many as you want You can reorder a whole nother turkey dinner and you pay the one price like I feel like that is phenomenal It's like endless turkey dinner It's like endless Thanksgiving dinner with Mickey and pals or Minnie because it is Minnie's dine So we're gonna dive in here. I think I'm gonna cut into a turkey first Yeah, I'm gonna go turkey first Because that's appropriate get a little bit of the gravy You know I Good oh, yeah Definitely taste different than the turkey that I normally get at Disney I feel like sometimes the turkey dinners can be kind of the same tasting But the gravy is definitely different and the way they cut this turkey is definitely different as well Oh, I can't wait to dive into that stuffing But the best thing you can do is having that all-in-one Thanksgiving bite We get a little green beans a little turkey a little gravy a little stuffing And little potatoes, but we got to try everything on it's like individual first. Oh, wow, this stuffing looks so so good a little dab there Oh, yeah, that's good stuffing and now the red skin potatoes Oh, yeah, and some of the green beans I like this turkey dinner Turkey din din But now it's time to build the perfect bite first We're gonna grab a piece of turkey then a little bit of the potatoes a Little bit of the stuffing a little bit of that cranberry and then we're gonna have to fork a green bean maybe there Oh, yeah, right there. That is a Thanksgiving bite It's a little springy my green beans look like Pluto's whiskers, but this is a really good turkey dinner I This is overall a very good turkey dinner I like how the stuffing has the cranberry inside of it probably one of my favorite stuffings on property Everything else is just right up there with me. I really do enjoy it here I'm not too sure if I would get this or the tenderloin I think last time I like the tenderloin, but they're both equal on like how good and price value You know, I mean it's $55 so it helps that it is all you care to enjoy just in case you like a big meal And you like to feels full I feel like a lot of people always want to get their like worth out of a meal You know what I mean, especially paying a high price tag you want to be like alright if I'm gonna pay $55 I want to get full. I think one sitting of this could actually get you full. I Need to save some room. I could actually get more stuffing, but I decided not to I think I'm probably a pretty full just off the one turkey dinner and we still have dessert coming And I think I went with the lemon and strawberry cake I was thinking about the s'mores, but the s'mores is very heavy and very chocolatey I'd like to be a little light and more freshen so a lemon cake sounds fantastic at this point Oh my lord and take a look at this that looks so beautiful. I love the way it's presented Oh boy, I don't want to eat it, but it's like just so look at it Before we get to the cake though, it does look pretty Mickey and Minnie are coming So we gotta we gotta wait for them. We gotta wait for Mickey and Minnie There he is. How you doing pal? Good nice. I love your outfit. Looks like you're about to hit the beach Yeah, a little summertime fun. That is awesome. Thanks so much Mickey Looks like we got a couple minutes before Minnie comes over so we're gonna dive into our dessert here Look at that Cut her right down the middle. It's like a strawberry shortcake, but with a lemon cake I think this is gonna be so so good. I feel like I should eat the mint lip a little bit though Here it is So good, wow Wow, wow. Hi Minnie Thank you so much for the summertime dine here. I love your outfit. You look fantastic Ravishing darling Oh, you like my hat it's adorable Very fancy Back to this dessert. This is just as I expected like it is nice Fluffy very airy and I love it. It is so so good. I'm much rather this than like the very heavy S'mores like cake that they had it depends on like the the evening today being very humid and hot Nice and airy is good Oh some dancing happening Yeah, Minnie Pulp fiction This is great stuff. Oh, yeah, nice And here comes Mickey the man Champion Now it's time. We're heading out We gotta say goodbye to the goof though. Thanks You're awesome. You're my hero You are I love it Thanks. Goofy. We'll see you next time That was a great dinner I really do love it in there, but when it comes on to like character dining and prices I love all of the characters. They always do a great job But when you combine those two with food, I feel like chef Mickey's might be a little bit better than there Or garden grill actually It's just you know, it's like the food doesn't match how good the characters are the characters are what make that $55 price tag This is still pretty decent because there's not a lot of great restaurants here at Hollywood studios But if I was looking for character dining like That's what I was looking for. I probably would do chef Mickey's or tusker house Now we have to go scope out a spot for the magic of animation. I think I said that right The magic of animation. It's the wonderful world of animation I don't even know what magic of animation came but it sounds really fancy the magic of animation I like the sound of it Half an hour to go looks like a lot of people are already here They're very excited. I mean, I'm excited too So I think uh, like I said, you don't have to get here super early You can just kind of just stand in place. I'm 30 minutes out and look there's still good views everywhere Something else I realized that's really kind of cool But I feel like only at Hollywood studios would you see a bunch of light sabers during a nighttime show And I kind of like the effect that you know what I mean? It makes it look really really cool Right now you really can't see a lot of them But there are quite a few light sabers out there. Oh, I see one right there But a lot over there. It just seems really awesome. And look at all these people a lot of people are here and they're excited One and all in just five minutes We will proudly present the wonderful world of animation We're will invite you to celebrate more than 90 years of disney and pixar animation For you to fully enjoy tonight's performance The lighting in this area will be reduced for your own safety and that of others We ask that you remain in the same location until the lighting returns to normal Our journey through the wonderful world of animation will begin in just five minutes It helps like thin down the crowds So a lot of people aren't over it happily ever after and it's almost impossible to actually get from here to Epcot Unless you take the skyliner and be really quick. So we really do need enough like extra hours and extra nighttime shows So that it's not over super really crowded like magic came to for happily ever after or Epcot for uh Epcot forever And it's it's a good show. I mean, it's not really fireworks. It's more about projections and the film industry and disney films Especially and I do like it. So anyways, I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time Bye
