 Hey friends tonight, we are hanging out in Epcot tropical storm Nicole is making its way towards Florida and Disney decided to close the parks early I think Epcot closes at seven o'clock tonight I was planning on coming out to see if guardians of the galaxy switched over to their holiday overlay and We're gonna try to get a boarding group. I'm gonna ride some rides eat some food and have a beautiful Epcot kind of day. Anyhoo, let's go do this As you can see it's starting to get very windy and rainy out a lot of people are deciding to leave and I think it's gonna lower the wait times a lot. I mean right here is a very windy spot anyways But maybe we'll get lucky and get a boarding group for guardians of the galaxy Last night I went to Mickey's very merry Christmas party and I got rained out. I broke my camera I broke my glasses and my umbrella and I wasn't able to make a video and I was so sad about it But I plan on going back in a couple of days for the next party So I'll have a video for that when it comes out today We're just gonna try to take advantage of the parks as we kind of navigate through the storm All right 1259 Here we go any second. I'm just gonna keep hitting refresh Well, this is a lot there it is boom refresh boom Did we do it? We did it group 124 we did it 255 minute wait, though. Holy moly 255 minute wait holy moly I would have thought like you know, there would be less people here because if you look around There's like nobody around either. They're inside hiding from the rain, but it's gonna be raining all day and Yeah, so I don't know. Hopefully we'll make it in time. The park does close at seven. I Set my umbrella down for a second and it went flying away. Oh, I feel like betting in June right now I feel like I'm gonna turn it around to fix it. Whoa, there we go Another thing I noticed basically all the restaurants have walk-up availability right now I looked in the app and I chose right now and everything has a walk-up list So it'd be cool if we can go to space 220 see if we can walk up there That's not on the walk-up list, but they do have a walk-up and they have a new menu I think we're gonna head over there and see if we can just walk up to space 220 You know, I just realized if I was growing up and I love space and I wanted to be an astronaut Coming to Epcot would be such a dream come true right now I mean if you just think about it, you can dine in space at space 220 You can train to go to space that mission space and then eventually you can fly through space at Guardians of the Galaxy Alright in this little corner here like that's that's so that's unbelievable like growing up like if I was a kid And I had this it would be a dream to come here Wow, holy moly. We just walked up to space 220 and we're going up. We're going for lunch Like that's crazy. Just walk up reservation. I don't think I've ever had that happen like I've done the lounge But like we're going like we got a walk-up reservation Now we're gonna head on in and get to our table and I can't wait to show you guys this grand reveal Like we're dining in space. Look at that So fancy I literally just love coming up here everything from the silverware that everyone always thinks is plastic because it looks like this But it is some fancy space silverware to the cups to the view the table. It's all amazing. It's an experience And look at our table. We got a perfect view That is so awesome. I can't wait to see the new food The drinks at space 220 are always cool because they have like special effects or they Incorporate a lot of like pop rocks and space candy and stuff like that They're always fun and some of them actually do a little show one of the newest drinks is called the Imagination and it comes with Bacardi rum Malibu rum blood orange pineapple passion fruit and then a pop rock rim So yes, that is pop rocks on the rim there and I'm not too sure what this thing does Looks like it's kind of just sitting in there. Maybe that's some change in color. I don't know. Maybe it maybe it changes color Let's see. Hold on. I'm gonna squirt it in. I don't know what I'm supposed to do with it, but I'm going for it Well, that was kind of cool Imagination It's actually a perfect fitting name for Epcot. All right, here we go. We're going for it a Little pop rock rim. You got to lick the pop rocks first That is so delicious, holy moly, and then I love the pop rocks afterwards. I like this drink a lot. It makes me happy Here is a look at some of the additions they add it They brought on a roasted beet salad for the liftoff appetizers along with a new tuna dish, but I kind of want to stick to just the starry calamari because I really love the calamari here and then for the Entrees they added and changed the chicken recipe and they also added stuffed jumbo shells Stuff jumbo shells actually sound pretty good I think I might actually end up getting that and like I said, it is all one price 55 dollars And you get one and one so you just pick and choose. So I think we're doing calamari and jumbo shells They also got a lot of new desserts and the desserts sound amazing. I'm actually very excited for those I looked over the menu a quick they've a peanut caramel comment and then a pistachio in citrus and You guys know I love pistachio and I love peanut butter. So we're definitely going to try some desserts as well And the calamari has arrived. I really love this calamari It is like cooked perfectly always and you get a little sauce there and you get to eat calamari While in space. Ooh, we missed the astronauts. They were just floating away there. I Do not like soggy calamari and here it's always crispy always perfect gonna use a little bit of that sauce I Also like how they add those fried jalapenos in there So it gives it a little bit of a spice and yeah, it's amazing But I do wonder do you think they custom made this plate? You know I mean, do you think they made a plate and said alright? We're gonna need a little circle over here so we can put half of a lemon in what do you think they were like? Hey, what should we put in this little circle and someone was like how about half of a lemon like I wonder Some of the things I think about this is what I stay up all night googling. I'm gonna find out the answer I need to know And the jumbo shells have arrived and I have to say it kind of looks like something from space Literally looks like a creature from space. I am kind. I'm excited to try it. It's definitely Something different normally. I think I probably would have stuck to the steak frets or the chicken but you know when they try something different and Maybe I'll love it It's not the typical stuff jumbo shells that I'm used to seeing and I do want to mention that it is a vegan dish, too so that's really cool that a lot of people can enjoy it and But we're gonna dive in I don't know I'm a little nervous. I mean it looks cool The presentation is pretty amazing, but just the way they have it set up It kind of looks scary like like a fish space starfish like that reminds me of Like I feel like when I stick my fork and knife in there it's gonna like grab it, you know But we're going for it. Let's let's see what's stuffed inside those shells. I Think we'll start with this little guy right here. I lost my chickpea Slippery little sucker All right, here we go. We got some noodle. We're gonna try some of the pesto on there and We're gonna give it a go It's definitely a little interesting I Mean it's not horrible. It's not something I think I would enjoy eating but I Think if you were vegan, this would be a great dish and get another bite here Gotta give it you got to give it the two bite, you know Can't judge something off one bite. So here we go second bite The spice is a little bit interesting The Eastern spice definitely overpowers a lot in there, but I mean overall it's not that bad It's a good good vegan dish right there, especially with the chickpea stuffed shells That's kind of what I like a lot more. I was more thinking when I thought about it Like stuffed jumbo shells like an Italian dish, you know what I mean? I do like the pesto But I think next time I probably would get the steak fritz like if I came for the lunch menu That's like my go-to, you know Good news is we still have dessert to look forward to and these desserts look absolutely amazing And I've heard such great things about it. So we got that coming right up and I'm excited And here it is the peanut caramel Comet and this looks like one of the best desserts. I think I've ever seen we got popcorn on there We've got peanut butter. We've got white chocolate cream Oh my lord, I cannot wait to dive into this like this looks so good a nice little vanilla tart candied peanuts too Look at oh, I see the candied peanuts. Oh wow. This is gonna be much too good Let's get a little bit of everything in one bite We're gonna start off by tripping off the side here going down the center I'm gonna grab some popcorn some caramel and Candied peanuts and just pop it right on the fork like that I feel like this ratio of tart is too much. Gotta have the proper ratio. There we go a little bit better. Excellent And here we go sky rockets in flight That is so good Holy moly when you take a bite and you get like flavor and then as you're like kind of like taking it all in You get hit with another flavor and then another one That's what's happening with this Honestly, wow I don't even know what I'm liking because like Yeah, like there's so much happening. I'm liking everything, but like I don't know what is like standing out most to me This is definitely one of the best desserts I've had enough time This is definitely one of the best desserts I've had enough time The peanut butter isn't too heavy the caramel isn't too heavy It's like the perfect blend and then you add in the peanuts and the popcorn. It's just really so good That was so good now it's time to make our way back down to earth and hopefully It's not storming down there wasn't storming up in space, but I don't know what it's gonna be like once we get back down on earth In 3 2 1 As soon as I stepped out of space to each 20 I got a notification that our boarding group was called for Guardians of the Galaxy So now we're gonna go from eating in space to basically flying through space and I'm so excited Wow, I don't feel like it was that long of a week We got here at one o'clock exactly like as soon as I walked in I went and joined the boarding group And now I like to look at these like four o'clock. So guess it's been three hours. Oh Boy, here we go and yep, it was three hours later exact. It's four o'clock now So not too long of a wait. I mean, I thought it was gonna be longer, but it's time. Here we go This side look at everyone with their ponchos. I'm hanging on for my umbrella for dear life Any time I ride Guardians of the Galaxy I always want to get everybody wants to rule the world because it's such a fun song I don't think they're doing the Christmas overlay yet. So we're not gonna any Christmas songs today I feel like somebody would have definitely posted about it by now But it's time to head in like I said it normally I always brag about how cold it is when you walk in the door today I'm not looking forward to this. I'm not looking forward to how cold it is actually in there Here we go wonders of Xandar. Oh, oh the West Shoes are high alert today that sound World mind was just asking why we only eat the legs of turkey Why don't we eat the whole turkey? You know what I mean like a turkey leg That sounds kind of funny and also the lighting in here. It's making me feel very blue So Here comes our trusty mode of transportation for this flight Got a buckle in the hat here There we go Oh Awesome, I love that ride so much. I can't wait for my sister to ride it I don't know if my mom's gonna ride it, but I know my sister definitely ride it and They're coming down very soon very very soon, and I'm very excited now I think we're gonna make our way Lots of spaceship Earth haven't done that a while and the park's kind of closing now it's getting to that time It seems so quiet all right now all you hear is that music in the background Everyone's starting to leave Time to make their way out, but I want to do spaceship Earth. I haven't done in a while I love going up in that grand miraculous spaceship Earth I'm trying to hold my umbrella right now is absolutely crying We're flying all over the place. Oh no, are those garbage bags? I love that That's the best thing ever I love that they're actually just walking around with garbage bags with a little hole in them That's kind of how I used to do it So we went from space to 20 to Guardians of the Galaxy to spaceship Earth We're doing a fun space day. We should have a mission space. Oh, actually, I don't know if I want to do that I can't select the language I Oh 30,000 years of time A spaceship Earth is always gonna be one of my favorite rides I'm very excited for them to update it though. It needs a little TLC I don't want them to change it as much. I think they can add on to it But it's definitely indeed of a refurb. You know what I mean? Sometimes I forget about the cool things you can do and project tomorrow like power city over here Press the screen to start All right, take your sticks pressure to start I got my stick Move to the central floor All right grab your sticks and come on out to the control floor I'm here All right, let's practice Let's go grab this puck right here Oh That's not working maybe here. Oh, there we go. Oh A little bit easier There we go, there we go, there we go got one now we got to get this one Oh now we're gonna push the green puck Bonus one Oh the clock is ticking now There we go get in there get in there get in there. Oh gotta use the green one Done Well, that was a fun little game now. It's time to head back out and it looks like it got very dark out. Oh It's not too, uh, it's not too rainy though. Oh something fun is probably happening on spaceship Earth I see everybody stopped here with their cameras out. I get excited too. Oh, yes Like a grand miraculous spaceship Earth Hey, I guess it's time for us to actually start heading out I got a stop to Publix and we got to go see Gracie girl In fact, I probably gotta give her some dog food see what they got a Publix there I don't think Publix closed early. I don't know sometimes a lot of this stuff closes and sometimes like Disney's just like the only thing That closes in there. I don't think anything else really closed early. I have to look around We'll see but a little published trip. I think that sounds like a good idea. I Feel like this is like my shield. Holy moly. I Can't lift it up because then And Here we are good old Publix, I didn't think it was gonna close And also I just found out that tropical storm to cool might be turning into hurricane to cool It might be strengthening up a little bit Looks like a lot of people are doing some shopping, so we're gonna have to wait for a shopping cart No shopping carts in here. Oh, I think someone just dropped one off if they did look at that We lucked out It is raining cats and dogs out there holy moly nobody knows how to drive in the rain This weather makes me want to stay home curled up with a good book. I'm sure the plants are gonna love this I Was thinking about making pasta this week And I think it's funny how they organized the sauce on the shelves kind of like we do with liquor Because like you got the ragu in the prego on the bottom shelf and then the top shelf we got the good stuff I mean we got sows and we've got rails and we got Michaels of Brooklyn And then of course in the middle section we've got mids So it's kind of funny and they keep the good stuff on the top shelf, you know, I don't know what's your favorite sauce I mean, I like to get Michaels of Brooklyn or rails. I think they're both good here at Publix There used to be a couple of brands up north that were a little bit better, but down in Florida. It's it's tough But I am kind of thinking about sows Look at this It's got a trusty looking like a Bottle here. It's on clearance two for nine dollars nine dollar clearance bottle of tomato sauce will pasta sauce red gravy Decided on sticking with the good old Michaels of Brooklyn home style gravy tomatoes onions carrots Olive oil celery salt the pepper fresh basil fresh parsley Bailey and nothing else That's the way mama like it We definitely don't want to forget the coffee meat some good old French vanilla two times more need the big bottle Now it's time to check out not even that busy in the checkout area Where's my little princess? There she is. What? What are you doing? You want a cookie you want to eat? Oh Who's a good girl, huh? Here we go You and she's gone and with that we are done here today Kind of a nice little excursion today went out to the parks got to go to space then went to Publix I like it and like I said before I'm gonna be doing Mickey's very merry Christmas party very soon, so that's gonna be great. The family is gonna be coming into town for the holiday season I'm so happy for that and a lot of great things to come. It's gonna be actually a really nice nice holiday season, so I hope you guys enjoyed the video and The storm should be over soon. I think they did announce that it is a hurricane I don't know how big of an impact it's gonna head central, Florida But we'll see and you know we'll bunker down here me and Gracie if we have to I mean I ended up getting some pasta. I got water, so we're good to go and Yeah, hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye
