 Hey friends today, we are hanging out at Disney's Hollywood Studios I'm gonna be meeting up with a friend and we have dining reservations at Mama Melrose Restauranti Italiano for some good food and then also I'm in the market for new lightsaber because I have a huge trip Announcement that I can't wait to announce for you guys that I'm gonna be needing a lightsaber for and we're gonna ride some rides Eat some food and just have a beautiful Hollywood Studios kind of day. Anyways, let's go do this It's a good day to be at Hollywood Studios today And I'm excited to ride some rides and do a little lightsaber shopping and then also Mama Melrose I haven't been there in forever and I wonder if they have any new menu items. I Was just at Hollywood Studios last week and it was so busy here There were four attractions with a hundred plus minute wait and it was a Saturday So I'm hoping since today's Wednesday the wait times are gonna be a lot lower But we'll check them and see what they're like and hopefully we're gonna ride some rides And I guess a good way to start the day is to check out the wait times looks like rise of the resistance is 110 minutes Smuggler's run is 55 slinky dog dash is 80 minutes and Toy Story Mania 60 minutes so it still seems like a busy day, but not as busy as like a Saturday So we might actually get on some rides Today's genie plus is $18 for the day if you guys didn't know it's not a flat $15 anymore It depends on the day and how busy it is and it can go from $15 to $22 So that means it's $18 so it's kind of right in the middle there and we're not gonna be using that today We're just gonna see you know what we can get done without using genie plus and I'm excited like I said It's a beautiful day out and I'm ready for some Hollywood Studios. I Do want to take a second to convey to you guys how beyond excited I am for the return of Fantasmic November 3rd It's coming back a journey beyond your wildest Imagination and I am so excited like this is one of my all-time favorite night time spectacular and I've missed it So much so I can't wait for it to be back and be able to watch it multiple times probably The reason I like Fantasmic so much is because it's completely different than any of the other night time shows like harmonious or enchantment Because instead of just you know camping out a spot, you know, I mean for a while you actually go to a designated area There's bleachers you sit down and there's like pump-up shows and the music and it's just a much more chilled Like relaxed environment and I love that like just I remember sitting there sometimes with popcorn or beer And it's been some of the most relaxing moments of my life Well, I'm just sitting there and just wow, this is a great time and I can't wait to have that feeling again But now it's time we made our way down to mama Melrose Restauranti Italiano. This is actually a really fun restaurant and I feel like it doesn't get a lot of attention It's tucked away. It's tucked back behind the Muppets area And I mean it's Italian food and kind of reminds me of the last like remnant thing of back lot You know, they actually have a little bit you can see peeking over this wall over here. I'll try to show you I Really miss streets of America and of course during the holiday season. I really miss the Osborne lights And I'm an Eisner guy I mean I loved Michael Eisner and it's so sad that it's gone But there's a lot of new things and we've got Star Wars land and we got Toy Story land But man, I wish that was here, especially this year I would love to just spend the holidays on streets of America watching all the dancing lights. How amazing would that be? But you can see right back here next to mama Melrose They've got some apartments for rent in the building back there and here's the restaurant itself So we're gonna head on in I'm gonna give you guys a look at the menu Oh, and did you guys know they have a magic shop on top there? Yeah, I just noticed that sign there That's really cool. Now you see it now. You don't magic shop One thing I love about this restaurant is that there's a little backstory to it mama Melrose Was someone who was inspiring to be a Hollywood star and she moved to California so that she could you know become an actress and In the meantime she opened up a little restaurant in a back lot warehouse where this restaurant is at and When she did that she realized her real passion was cooking and making food So we're in a warehouse setting and it's got a whole bunch of different props from movies some Christmas lights and It's her, you know passion food and I like that You know I mean it adds into the back lot studios and NGM studios and it's a lot of fun. I'm glad it's still here Here is a look at the menu and it's actually really good food There's a little bit of a reflection or glare on it for appetizers. I've got calamari. They've got minestrone They've got some meatballs and flatbreads and then for entrees. They've got a charred strip steak They've got oven baked chicken parmesan some spaghetti and meatballs mama's Italian pasta a lot of good stuff A grilled bone-in pork chop and of course dessert. You got the terra miso Terra miso or the mini cannoli trio. That actually sounds really good a trio of cannoli All right, it's time to head on in we're going into the warehouse full of props and look you can see all the lights in here It's really just a beautiful restaurant. I know it probably gets out of focus a little bit Look at this in here Now that we're at our table I want to show you some really cool like props in here and old photos of MGM studios All around the restaurant You'll actually see different photos that were taken in the park and look at this one look at Michael Eisner with George Lucas I mean that is so cool and then down here. You have a couple more the crossword sign Look at this and they're actually all over the place. You just got to look for them I want to see if we can see some more on this side. I Really love it This is definitely something you won't see in a lot of places because most of everything that was MGM studios is gone But look at that. I get so excited Look at this picture of Lou Ferrigno with Mickey Mouse and he's putting his hands in Probably what would be over by the Chinese theater? That's awesome a little original hope there Of course coming to Mama Melrose you got to get the spaghetti and meatballs or Mama's pasta So I got the spaghetti and meatballs and then we got a little flatbread to start off with You know what I mean a little flatbread a little spaghetti and meatballs. That's a moray. I met up with my friend Meg Mickey's magic and We're ready for some Italiano. Yeah Yes, spaghetti and one meat ball. One meat ball you guys don't know I'm sure if you guys watch my videos enough, you know that I always like to say one meat ball Well, I want to introduce you to the person that introduced me to the one meat ball and that is Meg right there Here is a look at the flatbread got myself a little slice. They're very tiny Like it's not that big of a flatbread, but I do like the crust on there does look nice So kind of excited $16 Yeah, $16, but it doesn't look like a flat bread. It looks like a Yeah, like a like an individual personal pizza Look at this little thing. Isn't it so funny looking? I mean I could probably eat this like one slice in one bite Should I I don't know One just one bite This is actually a nice little pizza I want to call it a flatbread though because like I said, it's more individual, but it's so tiny so like the slice, I don't know if you guys realize it's like literally like that big and $16 I mean it's an appetizer A fork for size. So a slice of pizza is a half a fork Three quarters of a fork three quarters of a fork. I think we just developed a new measuring style Enough of the pizza business the entrees have arrived and I think I messed up Like when I see the table and I see everyone else's food I'm like, what did I do because I wanted the spaghetti meatballs, but I didn't want spaghetti So I got the penne, but everyone else's dishes look amazing As you can see we got mama's Italian pasta right here with chicken Which looks amazing and then Matt you've got the same thing, but without chicken Yeah, and they said if you have an allergy like this is friendly for a lot of allergies But they said the sauce had butter in it so they could have omitted the butter from the sauce It looks so good and then look at mine now beware Mine literally looks like a cafeteria style I Think it is the penne because I got penne instead of spaghetti, but I should have got the fettuccine. Look at this Looks so funny But I mean hey, maybe you know, I'm ready to dive in. I mean I just kind of I'm kind of laughing about it All right might as well dive in I ended up getting four meatballs not one meatball for meatballs But this meatball looks distorted a little bit doesn't it? Yeah It's a special meatball, I don't know if you guys can see it too much. Yeah, there you go kind of looks like a little character Doesn't it all right, so we're gonna go in try it one meatball So after trying the pasta itself the meatball is good the sauce on its own is just kind of bland And I published this duck with the fettuccine but Mama's pasta. I did try some of that and it is good very garlicky very oily. You said right like an oily pasta I liked it I thought it was good Yeah Next time I'm sticking to mama not the meatballs Next time I'm definitely getting mama's Italian pasta and for dessert I saw these cute little cupcakes go around and it looked like it was like a spaghetti a meatball cupcake And I think it's on the kids manual, but I think I want to get one. I don't care. I they looked adorable Look at this. It's a little tiny kid cupcake and it's so awesome I really do love it and it looks like you know one meatball and it's got the sauce there And this is a chocolate truffle and I can't wait. I don't even it's so delicate though. It's so tiny I can't take it off the plate. Look at that That is so clever All right, here we go. I'm going all in. Oh Oh That's good. Holy moly. Oh, there's a little tiny spaghetti in there too. I Can't believe it, but that was only three dollars about little tiny cupcake and you see got chocolate on the inside there, uh-oh. I Don't even know what's happening right now, but it was a three dollar. That was the best three dollar dessert I think I've ever had a Disney All right enough of mama Melrose, but I did love it there. I mean I love the meatball I love the atmosphere the marinara sauce just wasn't doing it for me the cupcake dough now that was precious It was a precious little beauty and next time I know got to get the Italian pasta now We're gonna make our way over to galaxy's edge and before I was talking about I got a big trip announcement and some of you guys may already know but I'm heading to Las Vegas I'll be in Vegas. I think I leave tomorrow actually and we're going out there for the when we were young festival Which I am so excited to attend But most importantly I'm going to be a part of Mosh Isley Which is the biggest emo? Star Wars Halloween party and that is what I need a lightsaber for and I do have my mace window one That's the only one that I personally have but I was looking to get another one So we're gonna do a little shopping head in the Star Wars galaxies edge and see what they got But I'm so excited for the Vegas trip And I can't wait to make a video and show you guys because it's gonna be an amazing time Meg just got super excited because she spotted the stormtroopers and she's got the stormtrooper bag on How awesome is it to see the characters just walking around galaxies edge again, you know I mean they were gone for a while, but it's great. I wonder if we'll catch chewy array actually walking around too Oh That is the way enjoy the day We're gonna make our way over to dock on doors now to see about some of the lightsabers Hopefully it's not a long line, but we'll see once we get there And here we are doesn't look like that long of a line Not too bad Here is kind of like a little menu. What do you think Meg? What's going on? He got lightside Oh lightside dark side Yeah, they have the shadow ventris one too, which is very cool. Ooh, that does look really cool. Yeah, what one do you have? You have raised lightsaber. Oh Is it? But I held the other day held loose Ray's and Kylo Ren I would definitely get any of the dark I want to go dark side. I might want to get the dark saber Oh, now I'm interested but even like Stars of tyrannous Oh boy lots to choose Last time I went to get a light table I couldn't decide whether or not I wanted to go light or dark So I ended up with Mace Windu because he pulls. Yeah, he pulls from both sides and Today, I'm gonna have to make a decision. Is it going to be dark side? No, well, I have built a lightsaber, but not for myself I Boy which way will I be pulled? When you come in to dock on doors, you're allowed to hold up to three lightsabers to test them out to see which one you want and Look at them back there the man himself Look at that So we're gonna do Darth Sidious first, which I'm excited for Just All right dark city How's it feeling your hands I like it it does it does look better with the short blade Okay, let's do a close-up on the blade itself. It's calling to me here. It looks very smooth Yeah, don't jump. I know but you know what they got me with the charging thing. Yeah, it does charge in there a USB charger Over here You go for that one night I like that a lot oh Oh Boy now I'm torn because I like that a lot that was fancy All right after trying out a couple of them I decided on Darth Sidious mainly because the dark side was calling to me But I was heavily influenced by the fact that it is rechargeable And it's the only one that's rechargeable and it cost me $220 for everything out the door 220 with my annual pass discount, but I'm excited and open it up and actually put it together real quick I'm so excited and I think I just put the thing in right Just turn it on Look at that. Oh man, and I got the short this 31 inches. Yeah. Yeah Yeah, I like the shorter one because it's got the it's got the little tiny She said though, too Do you have any of the health or any of the blades from so I think you can change them with any of these pills? So with your face when you want I don't know how long your face when you want. Oh, yeah, but you can Switch them out and then you can literally just take this little piece off and charge it. I'm happy. I like it Now that the lightsaber business is taking care of and I'm very happy time to make our way on the smugglers run I mean, it's it's fitting right? I'm so excited. I can't wait to bring us to Las Vegas with me. I Just randomly keep turning on my lightsaber for no reason Yeah, I literally just like I said the battery is gonna be dead in no time Well, that was Oh boy and supervise younglings I gotta turn it on in here, too Now we are flying our own ship today We got a bunch of droids with us today, so we're gonna have to go extra hard Punch it Chewie There we go Punch it Chewie Smugglers run is always a good time and I'm glad we got to be pilots We had the whole entire ship to ourselves and I keep on playing with the lightsaber. I can't stop I can't stop And the battery is gonna die soon, but that's why I'm happy I got dark city is because it's rechargeable and now I think we're gonna make our way over to Potato land potato land We're gonna make our way over to vacation fun Which is a little short and the next show starts in five minutes and after the show We're gonna be able to visit potato land and I love coming to this show It's actually really really good if you guys haven't sat down and watched it you're gonna love it Also, I like the painting here. It's basically a Mickey. Look at all the painting in here. I Really do love sitting down and watching this show and I like the theater to the theater is very comfy Look at the back of the seats Oh Now that we got done with the vacation fun It's time we make our way to potato land and also do you see how Mickey brought Pluto on vacation?

It's so fun potato potato potato We're gonna go from potato land to ogre's cantina What a switch up So this is gonna be kind of fun because you guys know I have my lightsaber with me and Inside the cantina they do not like lightsabers on so they actually yell at you if you turn on So I'm gonna try to hand it off to Meg and then hit the switch and then leave her holding it So they all come yell at her and she doesn't know what's gonna happen. I Just love coming in here good music good drinks. The atmosphere is awesome. Look at this It's a good time, but now I think it's appropriate since we did just about everything else here at galaxies edge We got a lightsaber. We wrote smugglers run and now my swell head on into rise of the resistance And the wait time is not that bad actually Look at this 60 minutes and there's nobody on the outside queue. So that is actually a really good sign Small craft heading our way raise the shields Give us clear so we can make the jump She even allowed to have lightsabers in here We'll just have to keep a closer eye It's a lightsaber Hey, it's a lightsaber training saber Mom All right, we're on our way But I'm bald Get us out of here are five I Actions on that ride were fantastic not just a ride just all the cast members before the ride I loved it so much because my lights my lightsaber a light stick.
