 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Epcot and club cool is set to reopen today along with the new Creation shop, so I decided to come out drink some soda ride some rides and enjoy an afternoon in Epcot Anyhoo's let's go do this And just like that everything changed the temporary mouse gears location is now closed And the creation shop along with club cool is open and it looks like there's a very long line So we better just hop right on into it If you're not sure what club cool is it's a place we can go get free samples of soda from all around the world So you'll have a chance to drink soda from Italy from Japan from China, and it's all free just little tiny sample cups So everybody's very excited to see it come back Here it is and like I said, it looks like a very long long line You have the creation shop over there, and then the club cool here, and I'm not sure which is which actually I think the creation shop has no line, and this is all just for club cool That is exactly how it is there are no lines to get in the creation shop and 45 to an hour wait to get in club cool now. I got here I think just about an hour after the park opened and I can imagine if you just got here when the park opened It was probably a race to get here But I guess it paid off because now there's an hour wait just to get some free soda, and you bet I'm gonna be waiting that hour line And I'm gonna hop right in line right now because like I said, I think it's gonna be a pretty long wait Maybe up to 45 to an hour. So I'll time and let you guys know once we get up there There it is. We've been in line for just about 25 minutes and every time that door opens I can feel the AC just coming out and hitting me And I just want to be in there so badly We have hit the 45 minute mark, and we're about another maybe 10 15 minutes away so an hour was very accurate and Yeah, I'm getting thirsty. So I'm happy that we're going into a place that has free beverages And here we are We have made it to club cool I am so excited to drink some soda and Also, just enjoy the atmosphere of being back inside club cool and listen It's not even sticky floors yet Speaking of the floors not being sticky yet. I don't know if you guys know this or not But the floor is actually a bunch of broken glasses from Coca-Cola bottles And you can actually see Coca-Cola labels inside the floor It's gonna be hard to spot out any label, but I know I've seen some of them in here, but this is all glass How awesome is that? Looks like they've got six different soda stations And you line up and get assigned to soda station And that's where you can take your mask off and try all the different flavors And I like the way they do this actually before it was kind of just a madhouse. I like this organized This is it's actually very efficient Looks like the only soda to return from the old club pool is the Beverly The Beverly is back, and it's the only one that came back And here are all the different flavors all from different areas around the world. We've got Italy with Beverly We've got Madagascar with the bonbon We got Madagascar with the bonbon bonbons gonna love this and then they got Dominican Republic with a country club And then Korea has a minute-made apple. I've actually had this apple soda before and Philippines has a royal watermelon and then China has a smart sour plum I think that one is gonna be a little bit special and then Russia has a sprite And I believe this is like a cucumber sprite and then this one is a Viva raspberry Raspberry soda, so these are all looking really really delicious, and I'm gonna try them all First things first the watermelon only because that one kind of beat my interest the most cheers royal watermelon Wow, that is so good. I missed the carrot soda. That was my old favorite one, but this is so so good Watermelon is definitely probably gonna be my favorite now. We're gonna try China now This is a smart sour plum, so this is gonna be a little suspect. I have to say open. I missed the cup completely There we go, let it fizzle down a little bit don't want to get all the foam It says it has a savory sweet tart flavor to it. So Here we go Oh That is definitely the new Beverly. That is really the new Beverly Oh, I can definitely taste the savory in there and a little bit of sweet. Did you just try that the China one? Oh I mean, it's definitely a Kind of tastes like barbecue to be honest. It tastes like a barbecue potato chip. That's a good way to put it I think I need to actually wash off the taste of the China smart sour plum and I'm gonna get a Beverly I know that's so funny. Beverly isn't that bad. It is good to cleanse the palate So it's gonna do its purpose here because that literally just tastes like a bad barbecue chip Beverly for all See Cleansing the palate so delicious. This isn't like I said Now let's try some minute-made some apple. Oh, I am missing every single time here. There we go That's good not as good as the watermelon now, but it is still very good. It's a very sweet soda Now it's on to the bonbon. This is for you bonbon. Let's line this up I'm not too sure what this is. Oh, this is a blend of tropical flu Tropical fluke flavors fruit flavors Oh, wow I think I like the bonbon better than the watermelon. Wow bonbons really gonna like the bonbon. This is really really good Wow, yeah madagascar for the win Now we're gonna try the cucumber sprite from russia mother russia. There we go Don't mind if I do Oh, that's good very refreshing like that is really really refreshing Now we only got the country club and then the viva which is the raspberry. So I think we'll do the country club first This one is actually orange. So this might be the closest to the carrot soda Wow, that's really unique. I like this one. I don't know what it actually tastes like though kind of just tastes sweet and delicious Last but not least I don't know why I say last but not least. I have no idea if this is gonna be any good or not It might be the least but the raspberry soda Very raspberry-ish I like that I still think my favorite is probably the bonbon Like the bonbon was really really good and my least favorite Is the china one the barbecue chip I don't know why I keep saying if if you guys do try it Let me know what you think it tastes like but I really kind of get barbecue out of that I know that sounds so crazy, but I don't know. It's just how it is Let me know in the comments which one you think you would like the most or if you try them Which one you did like the most and now we're just gonna explore around a little bit more And there's not much in here just a lot of Coca-Cola merchandise and some frozen beverages over here They have ice cream floats that you can purchase and they used to be able to give out little samples of the frozen drinks But they don't do that anymore So if you do want one of the ice cream floats, you have to purchase them They have a different soft serve ice creams and you can pair them with whatever float that you want or whatever soda that they have So it's five dollars and forty nine cents You prepare your choice of fountain beverage and then vanilla soft serve and they also have frozen lemonade And I think they have a frozen red beverage too. I don't know what that is They don't have it on the menu, but I wish I could try some of those, but it's not like the olden days Now that we got our soda fixed it's time to head on into creation And I'm excited. Maybe there's some Epcot merchandise still left over and I can try to get one of those fancy shirts So this is going to be basically replacing mouse gears And I'm happy to see a new shop. Oh, it looks really bright and nice in here And take a look at this Paging mr. Morrow in the new shop here at Epcot. How fancy is that? You like it? I get one Oh, that is so cool And there is a lot of other amazing things and I'm going to try to show you all the new Epcot merchandise And here is a lot of the new Epcot merchandise. We've got the mugs We've got the jackets which these jackets look so so cool. I really really like these jackets I'm not too sure how I feel about this texture up here But I bet you this would be real fun to wear at night and a lot of this stuff is actually going to light up I think that's what they were showing and I'm not too sure how much this is Probably 69 99 like that's going to be my fair guess, but we'll find out The jacket is $80 and it runs super big So I'm not too sure if I'm going to get it or if I should just stick to the shirt because I really like the shirt You can kind of see the shirt reflecting right now in the light and I think that is so awesome You see it like on the sleeves. It depends on how the light hits it as you get closer It'll go away. Do you see that is really awesome These shirts reflect as well and I just like the fabric and material So I think I'm actually going to get one of these and these are 36 99 compared to the $80 price tag for the jacket Along with the shirts and jackets. They do have the first ever Rechargeable Disney ears and these are so so cool. They've got the spaceship birth actual symbol on it And these are going to be so pretty when they light up at night And then like I said before they had the puzzle the coffee mugs They've got the water bottles So many amazing things even pants the pants look good too and they match the shirts I would get one of these hats, but I'm not a big fan of these hats But they probably look really cool at night as well. There's a lot of good f-cop merchandise That's all I got to say and limit two per item It is really really big in here. It's not as big as the old mouse gears though I have to say I thought it was going to be uh like a little bit larger And I miss all of the mouse gear like decor I miss seeing all the disney characters even though I like the way that the lighting is in here and I love the murals on the wall. It's not really mouse gears though I also like this f-cott jacket. This is really really nice and a lot lighter than the other White one. Oh, I like the colors and it's super bright. I probably it's probably a lot cheaper too Yeah, the other one was $80. This one is $69.99, but this one's so much brighter Even though I do love the old mouse gears. I really love this mural though I mean it is so wonderful and also the statues up there and they added a little fitting rooms over here I didn't see that before. I don't know if they're open yet But this is really really nice in here plenty of annual pass holder ears are back in stock Along with all the other figment items and yeah, I mean it's kind of growing on me a little bit I have to say the murals doing it for me Well, I ended up making a purchase. I had to get the coat I figure maybe I will use it the one day of the year where it's really really cold in florida or Whenever I go back up to pennsylvania, I can actually wear it and I love it This coat is so cool. It has like a weird fabric in the sleeves here kind of like a raincoat But I just love the way it looks and I figured if I was going to buy The other jacket that was $69.99 then I should just get this one for $80 because I really really do like it Now, I don't think I'm going to be wearing it around. I just wanted to try it on now It is a little bit. Uh, it runs a little big actually So I went uh two sizes down from what I normally get and I like the way it fits now It feels comfortable, but I'm going to take it off put it back in the bag and we are going to explore around Epcot now We came in the other way and we're exiting out this way And I kind of like this way a little bit better because you get a little bit of a look at specia birth And everything actually coming about and also I noticed they opened up a new popcorn stand over here How fancy is that? I really really like how everything's coming together here. Oh, and they got the bud light in the engling there I just wanted to try the jacket on and take some fancy photos with it But now like I said, I'm going to put it back in the bag And we're going to break that out hopefully in a couple of weeks because it's going to get colder eventually in florida And uh now I think we're going to head into world showcase some of the 50th uh golden uh statues are actually popping up here at Epcot I wouldn't mind checking some of those out as well Like take a look at this guy right here Figment getting his own statue right before you actually head into world showcase And I love these statues like I said when I went to magic kingdom I wasn't a big fan But they've really grown on me and there's a couple more around here too. So we'll keep our eyes peeled But the Epcot one I mean the uh figment one is probably going to be my favorite in Epcot As far as I know nothing really sold out The only thing that did sell out though There is one thing that did sell out and that's the backpack and they said hopefully some will be back tomorrow But I really wasn't looking for that. I ended up getting my jacket. I'm happy with that And uh, yeah now I actually feel like I can put it back on because it's a little bit breezy But once I put it back on and probably be like, all right, I gotta take this off 20 minutes later So we're just gonna keep it in the bag As we move a little bit closer into world showcase We can see some statues from coco and look at Dante Dante actually might be my favorite other than figment figment's gonna come number one for me But Dante definitely a close second. Just look at him. Look at that face After checking out the statues over at world showcase And ultimately deciding that figment is probably my favorite one I think we're gonna actually head on over and ride figment I haven't done it in a while and it'd be nice to get out of the heat and just go for a little ride and journey into imagination Look at joy Look at her. She's actually picking up trash What a champ Full of joy. Hi joy I love it That was really fun seeing joy out there picking up trash and now it's time to head on to journey into imagination It doesn't look like there's a wait time at all. Oh my lord. I can feel the ac and it feels so amazing Oh So so good Hi friends, how are you? Oh good good life always Are you guys answering a lot of calls today? Looks like the phone lines are pretty busy Good luck I don't think I've ever seen cast members sitting behind the desk there. That was the first time for that Today's theme is how to capture your imagination with dr. Nigel Channing To our special drive through open house It's figment figment. 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 Our research shows that smells often trigger the imagination, especially when the smell is coming to play I move out too Figment this is not a good time. It's all with a good time to use your imagination. So let the good times roll Figments don't Open house upside down upside down now you're talking about the best idea you had all day I Was happy to go do a little ride on figment after getting my jacket and being in the store I was feeling a little eppkati eppkati doesn't that sound funny But I was feeling like a lot of eppkati nostalgia and even though this isn't like the original Journey into imagination. It's still a very eppkati ride Like I can't think of anybody else eppkati figment is the uh like face of eppkati I believe like he is everything eppkati And as soon as we get done with eppkati take a look at this a little monorail action I love seeing the monorail in eppkati. It's been such a long time We went without seeing it and every time I hear it coming by I just got to stop and appreciate it Oh and look at this now poo bears outside Looks like he's catching some butterflies This is actually where the butterfly tent used to be So it's funny that he has that butterfly net I love it. Look at him He's trying to catch him. Look at him. He's going in for it When is it poo? Oh He got it. He got away Oh Now I think I'm gonna hop over to the other side of world showcase or the other side of future world And I'm gonna check up on the space 220 restaurant. It's set to actually open next week Actually, september 20th. How funny it's opening on september 20th in its space 220 So I want to see if there's any progress there and maybe stop at one of the food and wine boots that are there Get ourselves a little snack We could stop here and get something from flavors from fire They do have the chimichurra up offense Which is a char chimichurra steak on a smoked corn cake with pickled vegetable slaw in cilantro aioli And I think that sounds pretty good I have had the corn beef before and the s'mores will be pie So that's going to be the only thing I haven't gotten before and I guess why not might as well I ended up actually getting the steak, but I didn't get it with the pickled vegetable. So all I have is basically steak on a corn pancake And I'm excited because they cook the steak right there and it looks like it's a really really good steak And it was seven dollars and I don't know. It's not that big. It's actually very tiny I'm going to try to maybe fold it like a taco. No, I'm going to eat it just like that I don't think you can fold it. Yeah, because it's too thick like the steak is so just like that Kind of like an open-face sandwich That is surprisingly delicious like very very good and it's plain jane, but I love it I can taste the chimichurri on there and the corn cake is so so good very good Now that we got ourselves a little snack, I want to swing back and see what the line is like to get in club pool now Did it get busier or did people wait and actually now there's not too much of a line. So we're going to find out Oh, yeah, it looks like it's just about the same amount of people waiting So just about an hour probably people are going to be in line for this I think I started right here and it was an hour. So it makes sense, you know I'm happy that we actually went when we did Because it's definitely gotten a lot hotter out and there's no more wind So like earlier why we were waiting in there for some reason there's always a nice wind tunnel that actually goes through there So it keeps you kind of cool But right now it's probably so hot and just sitting there for about an hour like I did earlier I would not want to be there right now Now we're starting to make our way back out to the exit But before we go maybe we'll take a ride on spaceship earth It looks like there's no weight at all and I love it. I mean, I'm all decked out in Epcot Like I'm really feeling Epcot today. Look at all the lights. This is really oh, man I'm excited for everything to be lit up for the 50th anniversary. I hope it happens by then Can't pass up spaceship earth when it's a walk on like this Even though it is a walk on like this quite often. I still like to just come and smell roam burning I can literally smell it from here and it just smells so amazing Oh, so sliding doors on our time machine are going to close on their own Any second now Any so there it is magic I like how they're spacing people out on here and they're not cramming everyone together So like that Party's up there and then they skip two and then put me and I think they did that for every one of them Oh Oh Oh Well, there you go a nice little spin on spaceship earth to cap off the Not too shabby, but I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it I'm sorry that I wasn't able to film inside the store as much as I wanted to it was very crowded in there And I was just lucky enough to grab the things I wanted to get and get out And just kind of appreciate it a little bit But I'm happy that club cool is back because that was something I was really missing and I wish my mom and sister were here I did get my sister to try Beverly, but I would love to get my mom to try Beverly And uh, yeah, we'll definitely have to come revisit when they come back down And uh, yeah, I'm probably gonna be revisiting it myself quite often because I really do like it in there It's free soda at Epcot. You can't go wrong any hoos. Like I said, I hope you enjoyed the video I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time Bye
