 Hey friends, today we're hanging out at Epcot. My friend Lily Aldridge is getting her drink added to the menu at Lakava. This was a drink that was during the Festival of the Arts, so she's going to be there today making it and I wanted to come out and be one of the first people to try it. And then we're going to hang out at Epcot, ride some rides, eat some food and have a beautiful Epcot kind of day. But I do warn you, there is a storm brewing, so there might be some rain. Any hoos, let's go do this. Look at how empty the park is right now. I don't think I've ever seen it this empty at 10am, but like I said in the beginning there's a little bit of a storm coming in, so we could be getting a lot of rain any second now. The rain has been intense here in Florida the past couple days. I'm sure some of you guys saw my Hollywood Studios video where they basically just flooded and then Magic Kingdom flooded the following day and now I just found out that there's a tornado warning at Epcot, there's a tornado warning for today. So I mean we're here, might as well proceed with our plans and seek shelter in La Cava. I feel like that's the best place. It says the tornado warning is effective until 11am so an hour to go and it's not like overly like storming out, just a little bit of rain, but look at the way those clouds are moving in the sky. It's like they're almost racing. Well we'll see, we'll see what happens in the next hour. I'm gonna head straight back to the Mexico Pavilion because that's where we're gonna be meeting up with some of our friends and I wanted to point out the Epcot experience is closing down for good so I think we're gonna cut through there. If you have not been able to come out and check out the Epcot experience it is shutting down for good March 14th. So just a couple days away and this is really cool, I actually was really excited when I came here even though it does have a couple of projects that are no longer in the future here at Epcot, but it's still a really amazing thing to actually come and watch. Look at this, it's the metaverse. I am so excited to be here early in the morning to go to La Cava. I feel like it's such like an honor, especially because it doesn't officially open until 11am but we're gonna be able to go in at 10am and I'm so happy for Lily. She's getting her own drink on the menu here at Epcot. That is such an honor, you know what I mean? I feel like if it happened to me I would brag about it and she made this drink. Like she came up with all the ingredients, it's named after her, it's her special little baby so we're definitely gonna want to show it some love. We have officially made it into the Mexico Pavilion and look it's so like empty in here. Like I said I'm really loving the start of the day and if we get stuck in here during the storm, what better place to be stuck? You know what I mean? As I'm sitting here waiting to go in La Cava, it doesn't officially open until 11am but people keep on coming up and asking like what time is it open and I tell them 11am. So they think I'm just sitting here waiting for an hour to get a breakfast margarita and I think it's kind of hysterical. But here we are, just a couple more minutes and the doors will be opening up shortly. I don't think I've ever seen the doors shut here. So that's kind of a kind of a pleasant little surprise there. And here it is, the Lily. This was actually for Festival of the Arts and I ranked it my number one drink at the festival and I'm so happy to be back to actually have it for the first day it being on the menu here at La Cava and Lily's gonna be drinking it with us. And here she is, Lily herself. I'm so excited. I bet it's such a great honor to have your own drink here at La Cava, isn't it? It's such an honor. I love the coffee of Tila. I'm just my favorite bar in the world and that you are here with us. It makes me so happy because I'm such a big fan. Uh-oh. I told Nick this before. See, I just love your videos. They make me so happy and they make me feel like I'm just at Disney when I don't get to be here. So thank you. Oh, no, thank you. Thank you for being here. Alright, so this is Lily more of a makeup. Look at that. Thank you for all your sweet words during Festival of the Arts. It's a little bit different. We changed it for the bar, so it's kind of got like a makeover. So it's something new for La Cava. And then there's this amazing kind of presentation. So I wanted something that'd be fun for like pictures and Instagram videos. Yeah, a fancy drink. Yeah, a fancy drink. So this is our fancy version of the Lily Margarita. So when you order it, you'll get this presentation. This is like floral, so it smells really nice. And then... Voila, look at that. That is it. Oh, wow, it smells amazing. Can it smell good? Wait, I'm gonna have to... Yes! I love it. Alright, here we are. Cheers! So the one at the Festival of the Arts was shaking. Oh! So this one's on ice. I like it. And it's a bigger drink, too. It's a bigger drink. It's like a full, proper, you know, big cocktail. This is rose petals, which I know a lot. I do? I do like it. I still have the cups from Festival of the Arts. Actually, I have three cups. That's awesome. Yeah, because I bought three different drinks. This one will have a takeaway test that has like a special thing on it to take away as well. So if you wanna think, this is the in-house version, but there's a special thing on it. Oh, I didn't know that. Now I'm excited. Yes! And I have a present for you. Oh, do you? Yes, I do. So, I got you a bottle of Casabucones. That is amazing. The one in the cocktail is Blanco, but this is a Diego. Oh! So it's gonna sign by me a pair of cups. Oh! Look at this! I'm gonna cherish this forever. So you're gonna enjoy it at home. Oh! But I, you know, I love you and I love your channel. Thank you! Please give us a thumbs up. Thank you. Thank you. I'm so excited. Cheers! One more time. Yes! Look at this violent essence right here. That is so majestic looking. Isn't it? It's like very majestic and that's in the drink. Yes. Wow! Oh, yeah. Oh, wow, that smells amazing. Wow! That is so cool. I don't think I've ever seen something like that. The tequila that is actually in the drink is Pasadragonas. And it's one of my favorite tequilas. And the founder and the maker of the tequila is actually here today, so we're gonna be able to try some of that tequila on its own and learn more about it. In Pasadragonas, we're a small batch tequila producer and we're trying to be part of the tequila producers that are pushing the collaboration of tequila production into the future. And we are trying to expand the tequila repertoire through quality and competition. And we really would love to prove that I got the experience in general to keep with our other very well-established categories in the world. So first of all, cheers to la Caba de Tequila. Salud! Salud, cheers! All the support you have always given us throughout the years. Thank you very much. It was really exciting to be here all together again. So, thank you. It is really awesome to be able to be in La Caba before it officially opens up and to be one of the first people to try the lily when it's officially on the menu. But now, it's open. It's open to the public. Instantly, the second the door is open. Look at this. There's already a line going out the door. All the tables are full. La Caba is a very popular spot here at Epcot. Here we go. This is the best part. The reveal of the floral... Here we go. Yes! All right. You ready? Let's do it. Beautiful. Right? Look at everybody buying the lily right now. I love it. Oh, these are the special takeaway cups. I love it. Very fancy. How awesome was that? I love La Caba, but I feel like when you're down there, time goes by so fast. And now, from drinking margaritas at 10 a.m. to coming out to daylight, it kind of messes with your mind because I thought it was going to be dark out. But I love the lily drink and I love Lily Aldridge. She is so awesome. Such a great friend. And I'm so happy that she has her own drink on the menu. Like, what an honor. You know what I mean? I think it's such a cool thing and I love the drink. You know what I mean? And if you do get it to go, you get a special little cup with it too, a little La Caba cup. So I'll definitely be keeping a couple of those. And now I think we're all going to go ride soaring. We're all going to go ride soaring after having margaritas at 10 a.m. It's so strange because it's very breezy out, but the rain like never came. It never got like super stormy out. And there was a lot of hype, you know what I mean, for this storm. So maybe we'll get hit a little bit later. So I'm happy I got my umbrella with me. But we're going to make our way up to Soaring now. B1 is the best way to go because everything is center and you're up the highest. I love it. Oh, here we go. We are ready for take-off. I love riding soaring. It always puts me in such an amazing mood. Now I think we're actually going to head out and grab a little lunch and make our way around World Showcase. You know, it's kind of strange because I thought it was going to be a very rainy day. And all of the forecast said that it was going to be rainy too. We had that severe tornado watch and nothing really happened. Nothing happened. So the one day I come prepared, nothing happens. I think it's just my luck. For lunch today, we're actually heading over to Tepenido. And I love it there. It's one of my all-time favorite restaurants. I've done plenty of dining reviews here. And if you guys watch the videos, you know how much I love it. Today it's going to be just very brief because I'm hanging out with Lily and some friends. So, you know, I don't want to go into a full dining review. But if you do want to see like a full dining review, I'll put a link in the description because it is really amazing. And here we are. Time for lunch at Tepenido. This is going to be so much fun. I love coming to Tepenido. You guys know this is one of my all-time favorite restaurants. And I'm so excited. I can't wait to see all the cool Disney references they do. I feel like it's not always the same thing. They definitely mix it up a little bit. And I'm excited. Very talented. Oh, that's the good stuff. Noodles here. Favorite part. Wow, Tepenido hit so hard. I feel so stuffed. I love that restaurant. And like I said, I really don't want to go into like too much detail, especially when you're with company. So, I was just really light and showed you some of the cool cooking tricks that they do and some of the food. But if you want to see a full review, I will add my video in the description below to check it out. And now I think we're going to make our way back out to future worlds. Maybe Test Track, maybe Club Cool. You know, there's something at Club Cool I really want to show you because it is really interesting and I think it's really fancy. So, definitely Club Cool. As I make my way up to future world, I like to listen to make sure Test Track is running. Instead of opening up the app to see if it's running, I just listen to see if I can hear the cars running in. It is running and it's so strange. Like I said, the weather is very unpredictable here. So, I think we're going to actually head to Club Cool first and then over to Test Track. And now I like pointing with my umbrella. I feel like this is something I can use it for since it's not raining. If you are unaware of what Test... If you don't know what Club Cool is, it's basically where you get to go in and sample all the different sodas from around the world. And it's a really fun, free thing. And I kind of want to do something a little dangerous. The last time I was in Club Cool, I was talking about some of the flavors that I don't like. Like, for instance, the barbecue soda. Like the soda tastes like barbecue. And it's supposed to be like a smart sour plum. So, I thought about mixing it with the Beverly, which is another bad soda. So, I'm going to do a little Beverly and a little China and just mix them up a little bit. And I don't even know why I'm doing this. Someone said it would be a good idea. So, we're going to try it. There is no way this is going to be anything but horrible. Look, I don't even know why I'm doing it. Someone said you should mix them together in the comments. And I was like, you know what? That sounds like a good idea. So, here we go. Not the fan. Not... Oh, no. No, David. No, David. I feel like I should try mixing something that might be delicious now. So, like, we'll do the Bon Bon, which is a blend of tropical flavors. And then probably we'll do... Oh, the watermelon from the Philippines. Do a little watermelon mix. A little bit of a mix. That's good. I like that. So, as you can see, some of the flavors when they're mixed together is actually pretty good. But I wouldn't recommend mixing anything with the China soda. I feel like the barbecue just overpowers it. I know you can mix Beverly with other things and it actually makes it a little bit better. But once you add China into the equation, boah. Now that we've done some experiments with soda, I think it's time to head to test track. And I'm also interested because I never really bring an umbrella in, so I'm not too sure what I have to do with my umbrella because I can't bring it in the car with me. It's too big to go in one of those sacs, so I'm going to figure out what I have to do with it. Looks like the wait time for test track is 70 minutes and we're not going to have to wait in line today. But earlier, I know the storm really kept the crowds down. But I think since the sun has come out, everyone's coming back to Epcot. Or they're coming to Epcot because maybe people just stayed at home or in the resorts and they didn't want to come out. But now it's open season. Open season on test track. They just said inclement weather is approaching, so there's a chance that vehicle testing will be suspended. So we're kind of... We're going on a hopin' of prayer here. Well, it looks like we're going to make it on either that or they're going to stop it and then we'll get a lightning lane return time. But we made it. We made it. Oh my Lord, a truck! I was starting to think my hat was not going to make it off that ride. Did you see that? I almost lost it. I went to go hold it because I saw it starting to slip a little bit and then whoop! And I had my hand there just in time. But I was a little sad because I would have lost my new hat because this is one of the newer ones I got. And I mean, Disney's usually really good with like finding them. Like Lost and Found at Disney is expert. Like I've recovered at least two or three different hats. One of them from the bottom of the Tower of Terror. And yeah, I probably would have got it back if I lost it. Now that we got done with test track, I think we're going to head back to the Mexico pavilion and maybe do the Grand Fiesta Tour. You know, I should have done that earlier, but I do have to say having Margaritas and then riding Soren definitely enhances the ride itself. I really, really did enjoy that. I feel like I should make that a tradition now. But now I think we're going to make our way to the Grand Fiesta Tour. I'm getting flashbacks already to this morning at 10 a.m. and look at the line for La Cava now. Holy moly, look at this. It wraps all the way around. A lot of people are excited to get the lily maybe. I mean, it's always a popular spot, but this is like really, really long. It also looks like we got a little lucky. There is no wait for the three Caballeros. That's pretty fun. You know what I mean? It's nice to see some rides where you don't have to wait. You can just walk on. And especially the past couple of weeks it's been so busy here. Like Hollywood Studios, almost impossible. But nice to see a little walk on attraction here at Epcot. The Grand Fiesta Tour starring the three Caballeros. Look at this, complete walk on. I don't know when they're going to take down this maze though. Sometimes I really feel claustrophobic coming through here. Oh, luckily we don't have to. We get to just walk around it. We're going to walk around, we're going to walk around the shields. Looks like we're getting front row too. Wait a second, where's my umbrella? I don't know. We're coming in hot. We're coming in hot here. Oh, sorry about that. Sorry about that. Uh-oh, I think I'm going to do it again. Well, this is going to be awkward. Oh no, I'm so sorry. Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. Well, this is just getting awkward. Oh my god, oh my god, yeah. Now that we got off the ride, I have to go find my umbrella. I think I left it near a trash can. So I'm going to retrace my steps. But it's so funny because I went to go get in the ride. And I was just like, where's my umbrella? And then I realized I left it somewhere. And I'm pretty sure I know where it is. So we're going to go check to see if it's still there. Let's go get that umbrella. I hope it's still there. I think it's right on the outside here because I stopped to take a photo. Oh my lord, look at it. Look at it just saying there. Look at that. I can't believe nobody took it yet. But there it is. My umbrella is still here. Excellent. I really thought I was going to lose another umbrella there. I can't believe we're still there because I must have been in there for at least 25 minutes. And look at that. I didn't lose one. I didn't lose it. And since we're over here in World Showcase and we just got done doing the Grand Fiesta Tour, we're not doing another boat ride. Head on into Frozen ever after. I love the boat rides. The post at wait time for Frozen was, I think, 80 minutes when we walked in. But we're going up through the lightning lane. But this queue is not too bad to wait in because at least it's all indoors. I remember having to wait in China to ride Frozen. Even sometimes even far as back as Africa, like the African Outpost. Transitioning from queues that had social distancing to queues now. You always look at them and being like, no that's not a long wait because you're so used to see these gigantic lines. It's so beautiful. Yeah. What I say to say is that I'm selfish. I'm all frozen. I'm all lost. I'm really, really lonely. Now let's just call it a day. What I can't do. What I can't do. What I finally do. What Frozen things do. Frozen, like you might get a little bit, but I literally got splashed in big time. Did you notice the last clip with Olaf? There was water on my lens. My glasses are completely full of water. And I'm a soggy bottom boy. Like literally my whole terrace seat is a little pool there and I was sitting in it. Frozen was a lot of fun, but what is going on with the weather here in Florida? Like five hours ago, there was a severe tornado watch and now look at it. It is literally probably such a beautiful day out right now. Wow. Things just changed so quickly. And with that, I think we are done here today. I had such an amazing day today. Seriously, it's been so much fun getting here right at the park opening, thinking I was going to go through a huge storm, but then not going through a storm, having breakfast, margaritas, hanging out with Lily, hanging out with Lily in the La Cava, drinking her drink. Like that is so amazing. And thank you to La Cava for inviting me out and also thank you to Lily for coming up with such a really wonderful drink. And yeah, I hope you enjoyed the video because I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye.
