 Hey friends today. We were hanging out at Disney Springs I wanted to come down and check out all the new offerings for the month of December I know Gideon's has some Christmas cookies Amorettes has some Christmas like holiday desserts and also look at the shopping situation I know a lot of people are gonna be wanting to come down to Disney Springs to do their Christmas shopping So it reminds me of all Mosey through the world of Disney and even see Santa Claus maybe any who's Let's go do this First things first whenever I come to Disney Springs, and I plan on visiting Gideon's I had straight over there to get a virtual return time because the wait time could be three to five hours and luckily It's all virtual. It's not like you're waiting in a regular standby line. I Like the virtual queue because then you get to go around and do other things why you're technically in line And they added the Santa Claus like the Santa Claus meeting greet at Disney Springs as a virtual queue So you can actually sign up for that and then just go shop and do some other things. Why are you waiting? In fact as soon as you get off the orange garage escalators They have a little QR code so you can join the virtual queue for Santa Claus So we might as well do that first that it's on the way Join virtual queue Join Santa's virtual queue. Look at that It's only a 25 minute wait actually already to so yeah, just one guest bada bing bada boom done Oh, that was super easy. It was probably the easiest virtual queue I've ever joined Wow, all I have to say is that is pretty amazing It is like 12 o'clock in the afternoon right now and I joined the virtual queue to see Santa And I think they already called my boarding group like so I can go see Santa right now So I think we're gonna head over that way but first we have to stop to get in I Guess you can take that as a little tip the earlier you get here the easier and faster It is to meet Santa Claus If you guys recall when I came here in November which I'm kind of doing now every single month I come down to Disney Springs and I just kind of give an overview of all the new food offerings But in November I didn't want to show off all of the Christmas things because I knew was coming back in December And we had some festive holiday like mixed drinks But today I want to see if we got any Christmas beers, you know, maybe the polite pig Maybe city works will actually browse around and see what we can find Well, it looks like we have stumbled upon a dilemma Because as you know, I signed up for the virtual queue to meet Santa Claus And then I plan on coming over here to Gideon so that I can get a return queue for this one But guess what? No virtual queue for today kind of looks like it's just a walk-up So I think we're just gonna hop in line so that way we don't have to come back hours later It's so funny because I was talking about how much I love the virtual queue But today it's actually not as busy so they just have a regular queue and they said it could be maybe 15 to 30 minutes So I don't mind actually waiting in a 15 30-minute line Now I would not wait in a two or three hour line But I figured we wait in line here and then if we have to join another virtual queue to meet Santa We could just do that As you're waiting in line They come around and give you menus for the month of December and they ask you if you've been naughty or if you've been nice And that determines what menu you actually get. I think it's the same thing on each side It's just different artwork, but I love these aren't they so amazing. I have such a nice collection So I asked for two but obviously I think I've been nice This is kind of like an anniversary for me because the first cookie I ever had here at Gideon's Bakehouse Was the Christmas cookie and now we're back again. So we tried every single cookie every single month since then On the back you can see all of the December limited edition flavors the Kris Kringle Which is a complex flavor white chocolate coffee bean cookie and then the Krampus the dark chocolate with the blast of cooling Andy's mint these are both so so good, and I'm probably only gonna pick one so I have to choose wisely Something else I forgot to point out was the limited edition Krampus cold brew also known as chocolate mint That's for the holiday season. So we're definitely gonna get the coffee and one of the cookies Wow the wait time actually was only about 15 minutes. So do you see how that worked out that worked out like kind of perfect? I could spend hours in here just smelling the air. It's just smells so amazing My favorite thing is reaching through the fire to get my cookies magic. It's magic fire, right? Cookies you won't get burned by it. Oh Only if you like cookies, what about coffee I think that applies to you know coffee through the fire Alright, it is cookie and coffee time, and I got the Krampus cold brew and look you got Kris Kringle on the front and then bow Krampus whether you're being naughty or nice I love it, and I'm so excited to try it as I was actually going to only order the Kris Kringle cookie I wanted to get the Krampus coffee so I can have like a little bit of both But I ran into Steve who is the creator of Gideon's Bakehouse And he insisted that if I drink the Krampus coffee and eat the Krampus cookie at the same time It might open a portal to another world. So I kind of had to do it First up, let's try the coffee Now this is basically a chocolate mint cold brew. Oh That is so good. Oh, holy moly. I love it Did you anybody just see that bird almost just hit my face? I was just too into I was too invested in the coffee But wow hmm, I think I might like this now more than the pumpkin chai one. This is so good Now it is cookie time and delicious things await. So we have to open up the box here Oh boy, look at that. Nicely wrapped up, and I'm definitely not eating all of these cookies These are massive cookies. I have to say they are gigantic. So we're gonna definitely take some home and At least we're gonna be able to try both of them though Now it's time to unwrap and see what our first cookie is gonna be. Oh, it's gonna be the Kris Kringle I can already see the white chocolate chips falling off. Oh Boy, look at this bad boy And we're definitely gonna break into it though. I am so excited to try this. All right, here we go to the Kris Kringle This is just so Amazing, I love it. Like I said, this is the first cookie I've ever had at Gideons So I'm happy to be trying it again, and you can just taste like the coffee and the vanilla in there So so good. Oh, it's gonna be hard to beat, but we're gonna try the Krampus now Now it is time for the Krampus and like Steve said if I eat this cookie and drink the Krampus coffee at the same time Another dimension will appear. So we're gonna try it out, but let's crack it open and look at the Andy's mints in there That is a very minty minty cookie. It's good though. It's very very good I still think I like my Kris Kringle a little bit better, but you know, we do have to try the combo though We got to try the Krampus the Krampus Krampus cold brew cookie combo. All right. Here we go. I'm trying this for you, Steve We'll see how it goes Okay It's good. It's good And I'm gonna try the Kris Kringle Krampus. The Kris Kringle Krampus combo sounds like a tongue twister Oh boy Winner winner chicken dinner Let me know in the comments if your team Krampus or team Kris Kringle, they're both absolutely amazing I just feel a little nostalgic trying the Kris Kringle because it's my first kiddion's cookie But now I think we're gonna pack it up boys The cookie time is down. You got to put that cookie down put that cookie down One of my favorite things is coming here and getting the cookie of the month at Gideon It is such a fun thing and I'm so happy that I'm bringing you guys along with me But now we need to move along. We're gonna find some more holiday things and also we got to figure out What we're gonna do about Santa Claus. We already missed our virtual queue because it went by so fast So I think we're just gonna join another virtual queue So I just pulled up my Disney experience app and it actually gives me an option to join a virtual queue So I'm gonna see if Santa Claus pops up. Oh, nope. It says ratatouille. Oh wait, maybe if I switch over to Disney Springs Oh, yeah, look at that so I can just join another virtual queue which I happily decided to do total guess number one Already in this virtual queue. Oh Access denied Well, I guess since I'm already in the virtual queue even though it's been called maybe I could still show up and use it I don't know if it gives you a time to return back like bye But I guess we'll kind of just go over there and find out Looks like Santa Claus is right over here at once upon a toy which is kind of fitting You know what I mean? It is a toy store and I think to the right of Santa to the left is shopping We're gonna go to the right. We got to meet sanny Well good to know they said you have up to an hour to actually come and return for your virtual queue So we've only been here an hour We already got our cookies and our coffee from Gideon's now we're gonna meet Santa Claus I feel like we're making great timing like this is some this is some unheard of stuff right here. I Never really get to point out how awesome once upon a toy is you can see it's got these little Hidden Mickey claws actually delivering toys around the whole entire store and we've got a woody in the rafters You see him up there We got a woody in the rafters. I feel like that could be one of his his sayings there and they pull his string Hello Santa. Oh good. Good. I just think oh, thank you. I tried to dress like you today a little bit I know I even have a beard too, but it's a baby beard. Yeah, but it's not as nice as your beard But that's what I want for Christmas. I want a full beard eventually. Yeah Well, there you go That's the that's the magic of Santa Claus. Yeah, you make it happen Well, I wanted to say thank you for delivering presents to all the kids on the nice list I I hope I'm on there and you know Can you oh Yes You heard it there folks. Yep. I am on it. I am on the nice list. Thank you so much Yes That has to be probably the best Santa interaction I've had for the whole entire season I really really loved it and you can actually get your photo taken with them here and at Magic Kingdom now Santa is actually meeting guests not only for the after hours event But just all day long and that's really awesome over at the Magic Kingdom You get to take your mask off, but he's six feet away So like it's not really the best interaction, but here you have to have your mask on But you get to conversate and talk and he's like literally like three feet away maybe even two feet away and Yeah, I'd really love the interaction in there. He was amazing and you heard him. He said I was on the nice list Since we're actually up this way. I think we're gonna head into Trendy and Maybe browse a little bit for some Christmas shopping and just see what the stores are like This is one of my favorite spots actually come well the co-op other than world of Disney because they always have unique things inside these stores They also have Disney tales here, which is the pet store so we can look to see if there's anything good for Gracie girl You guys would be shocked at the amount of spirit jerseys and sweaters Gracie actually has she really does like wearing them She always gets all fancy with their nails and I like to usually match it up a little bit But I'm not seeing anything new anything for the holidays. Oh wait. Wait. Wait. Look at this Holy moly. It is a Pluto flannel That is adorable. Oh She has a flannel too, but not a Pluto one. I think I need to get it for Look at that. He even has a button up. We will look so cute together. We'll take photos matching. Okay. Yep This is coming home with me. I Did not even hesitate to buy that I was like I need this Gracie needs this and I cannot wait to take some photos And don't you guys worry? I am gonna try this on Gracie when we get home so I can show you guys I am so excited Also take a look at this Cinderella Castle cookie jar That is amazing. Oh I really really do love this. I don't know how much it is. It's probably very expensive No, it can't be that expensive. We're gonna take this top off and we'll look at the bottom here $59.99 that's not bad at all. That's like an amazing deal. I feel like for a castle cookie jar Oh, I don't know which way it goes That cookie jar is so cool And I went to go see if they had the gigantic like crystal castle that they used to sell on here that was like Thousands of dollars, but they actually sold two of them the only one that still exists is in Magic Kingdom now So I was like wow, it's not here and I can't believe people have bought two of them Now I think I'm gonna hop in the basin so I can wash my hands with some fancy soap and see if they get any Christmas soap in there as well Oh Yeah, yeah grab some of that soap right there first gonna wet your hands give them like this. I love this soap here It's always good stuff. It makes your hands feel extra special. Oh, that's the way sugar scrub How's your how's your hands feel Troy? I feel great man, right? So he smooth, right? Oh, yeah, it's the cookies. It's the cookie scrub Yeah, right it does it feels good Looks like they got a merry Mickey and friends body butter that looks pretty good and then a Mickey Holiday soap a festive blend of holiday nutmeg clove and cinnamon with notes of orange and dried fruit They also have some Bath bombs here. So I love always getting the Mickey soap stuff That was so funny I ran into Troy and he came up to me and he said he liked my videos He wanted to be in and I said well, I'm about to go wash my hands They were basin you want to come along with me and he said I never wash my hands I said you don't know what you're missing out on because washing your hands at basin is like It's so amazing. My hands still smell great. I love it Right next door to the co-op and basin they have world of Disney So we might as well go in and I love all the Christmas decorations in here And as soon as you walk in you can just hear that Christmas music really puts me in the mood for shopping. Hi. Happy holidays. Oh Wow, good good enjoying the day. Thank you Looks like they just put out some new spirit jerseys. Look at these bad boys that they look really fancy Nice iridescent. It's got like the little frosting at the end there limit two per item per guest My sister poppy would like one of those I Ended up buying this spirit jersey just the other day because it's a red jersey So it's kind of like Christmas, but it doesn't say holidays or Christmas on it at all So you could just wear it all year round and it's not like a holiday version And that's why I decided to get it because I kind of like it all the other ones They kind of just look like holidays so you can basically only wear it when you You know are out for the holiday season, but this one That's an all-year-round spirit jersey, and that's why I like it They also have the happy new year shirt here 2022 Wow can't believe this year has gone by so fast And they've got a lot and I'm so excited to be able to celebrate New Year's Eve this year at Disney last year We celebrated at Epcot and then the park closed at 10 o'clock So we actually hopped over and watched the fireworks at SeaWorld and this year We're gonna be able to celebrate and bring it in the new year We're gonna be able to bring in 2022 at Walt Disney World, and I'm very happy about that I am very impressed with the crowds here today at Disney Springs doesn't seem busy at all Usually the world of Disney is very hustle bustle, but it wasn't like that at all And there was basically just a standby line for Gideons our Santa Claus was instant So like it's it's like I'm not a busy day at the Springs. I picked the perfect day to come out Even Amarets doesn't have a line normally. I'm kind of like stuck out here waiting to go in But no line so we're gonna be able to go in and see all of their Christmas desserts, and I'm excited I haven't been in here in a while and they always have the good stuff Wow The holiday Mickey Moose looks so amazing. I can't get enough on how cute they look and there's my pistachio eclair That's one of my favorites, but I think we're gonna try some of the holiday desserts today They also have a peppermint eclair over there. I gotta get a look at There's the peppermint eclairs they look good, too I don't know if peppermint eclair is actually gonna be I mean I really do love the pistachio one But I think today we're gonna just gonna get ourselves a little holiday Mickey Moose Oh my lord, I love it. It's almost too cute to actually destroy and eat But I mean we got to try it. We got to see what's on the inside But look at how pretty that is it is so awesome. I feel like I can just have it on display all year around It looks so good. I don't want to ruin it, but I'm gonna have to here we go Oh Wow Look at that Look at that doesn't that look just so amazing But here we go and it's kind of weird because this is a Mickey treat that I'm not eating ears first unless Ah, there we go now Now we can actually eat ears first Oh, yeah, that is so good This is so so good and it's got little crispy pearls in there and at the bottom It's like a cakey cookie substance and then the moose all in here Oh, so amazing the red stuff though kind of gets everywhere just Beware the red stuff it goes everywhere Amorets never fails to impress they're always just so amazing now I got half of a Mickey here half of a Mickey and I got one ear left Now that we finished our Mickey dome I think I'm gonna swing over to the polite pig and we're gonna see if they have any holiday beers I think I saw one the other day and it looked kind of delicious I think it was a gingerbread beer But I always like stopping here and see whatever other holiday favorites they have For October they had a nice pumpkin beer with the cinnamon sugar rim And now their holiday like beer is a gingerbread red ale and that sounds very very delicious So I'm definitely gonna get one Look at that Glorious I say I always love the polite pig glasses too. They're always so amazing I'm gonna enjoy this beer a lot. I can tell and you know what? I don't think I've ever had a gingerbread red ale before so this is gonna be something new There it is cheers to you guys cheers to the holidays That gives me the warm tis the season feeling so so good I like it a lot The gingerbread beer kind of gave me like a happy merry feeling and I like it But we need to move along and I think we're gonna stop at sprinkles We have to get Gracie a cupcake And then I want to see what a holiday cupcakes they have And then maybe down the city wards to see if they have any holiday beer as well And just kind of continue on enjoying a little holiday spirit down at Disney Springs Before I head into sprinkles I wanted to talk about the Pandora story here The other day I came down to Disney Springs because I needed to get some Christmas gifts And it was right after Black Friday and they were doing 30% off here And I got in line and like you see how like they're holding the door open The line was from there all the way wrapped back here And I waited in line for probably at least an hour to get a Christmas gift But it was 30% off so when I got up there I think it was worth it And I was just real shocked because I didn't know it was 30% off So I was just like is this normally how busy Pandora is I don't know much about Pandoras But there was a lot of people there who were very excited So it was I guess a big event and I had no clue They actually have a lot of holiday cupcakes this year They have chocolate peppermint Then they have a Christmas cookie cupcake Then they have Santa Baby red velvet I was almost about to sing it Santa Baby And then they have a snow cute vanilla cupcake And then they've got the cupcakes It's funny that they have the cupcake advertisement right there as well And then a little gingerbread cupcake And it looks like there's a gingerbread man on there So they all look good But today we're just gonna get Gracie go a cupcake Because we got her a flannel So we're gonna give her a flannel and a cupcake Pupcake obtained I thought about actually getting one of the Christmas cupcakes But I still have my Gideons cookies to eat when I get home So I'm gonna pass on those But you know I had to get Gracie a cupcake As we make our way over to the other side of Disney Springs We're coming back towards Gideons And I noticed it looks like they're still on standby So no virtual queue And that was only about a 15-20 minute wait for me So that is really awesome We might as well stop into the ganache See if they have any Christmas and holiday festive things They probably definitely do And one of the things I know they have is I think the hot cocoa bomb No I'm not about to get a hot cocoa bomb I did have the Grinch hot cocoa bomb And it was my first time having it And I didn't know what was happening So I don't know how this one would work I'm not too sure But I think that's it right there I don't know I mean it looks like a hot cocoa bomb It looks like a Mickey Santa hot cocoa bomb But we'll go in and take a look see Oh no, this isn't a hot cocoa bomb This is a Santa Mickey pinata It's where you actually smash it I thought it was a hot cocoa bomb And they also have the peppermint bark up here Some very fancy things here I've never gotten one of the pinatas But I do like smashing things Right here is the hot cocoa bomb And it's an Olaf hot cocoa bomb And it is sold out for the day So you gotta get here probably before noon It does look very festive How does that fit in the gigantic cup of hot cocoa? It's 24 ounces of hot cocoa We'll put it in a pot Oh you put it in a pot? Holy moly, do you sell the hot cocoa here? Sell him You sell him? Holy moly, that's gotta be a lot of hot cocoa Hot cocoa Seems to be the hot cocoa cola bomb It's more popular than Gideon's cookies Which I think is strange Unless they just don't make that many of them I mean it was pretty big There's no way I could actually drink all of that hot chocolate If I did get one It has to be shared, right? Or else you'd be thrown away or you'd have a really big belly ache Now we have made it down to the other side of Disney Springs And is anybody else excited for Salt and Straw? I saw all their amazing ice cream flavors Over in California And I cannot wait for this to open here 2022 Some ice cream at the springs I am very excited for that Also we're next to AMC And I need to ask you guys If you've got tickets for opening day For Spider-Man I hopped online at midnight And I was in like a virtual Waitlist for like an hour I would say And I ended up getting the front Front row So I waited an hour In a virtual queue to buy tickets for a movie That doesn't come out for three weeks And the only available seats for the front row But I took it, I'm happy I am happy just to be able to go and see it The only reason I want to see it opening night Is because I don't want anything to get spoiled for me You know what I mean? It's so hard to avoid spoilers All over social media So if you're there for opening night Right now though They're celebrating Enchanto And I can't wait to see that movie too I mean it seems so fun and festive And I like how they always have the nice photo Opportunities too So you can always get a photo opportunity with your favorite movie And I can't wait to see the Spider-Man 1 It's gonna be so awesome This place is gonna be like a zoo For Spider-Man Now we're gonna hop into city works And see if they've got a holiday beer flight I got my fingers crossed for that I'm not gonna cross my fingers for it That's what I said before I'm not gonna cross my fingers for it But we'll see if they have one or not I ran into city works But it looks like I'm too early They didn't start their Christmas beers yet They said maybe in a week or two Today is only December 2nd So maybe they were waiting until their other Special which is like a bourbon beer I think they did that for Thanksgiving Once that ends Then they'll switch over to the Christmas beers We're early today Just because city works doesn't have any Holiday drinks I do know a place that we could check In that splitsville at the bamboo bar And I bet you they might have a holiday drink We have had the other holiday drinks Like here for like Jock Lindsay's A holiday bar And then also even the mistletoe drinks At the Disney Springs Cards That was in November's video So it's hard to find the newer Christmas cocktails For December But they did that at splitsville They usually have some festive drinks here So we'll see what they got going on And would you take A look at that The poinsettia spritz Now this is a festive drink Now this is what I'm talking about I also like how we have a little hidden Mickey there on the top I know I'm trying to focus in on it But there we go I like it.
