 Hey friends today, we are hanging out in Disney's Animal Kingdom Hurricane Ian is making its way to Florida So I wanted to come out take advantage of this beautiful weather We've been having ride some of my favorite rides and also try some of the new food that they have for the month of September In October, but most importantly just have a beautiful animal kingdom kind of day any hoos. Let's go do this Like I said, it is a beautiful day out right now It's kind of hard to believe that there is like a category 3 hurricane making its way to Florida The skies are just crystal blue. No dark clouds in sight. And that's why I want to just have fun and enjoy the day here. I Normally like to come out to the parks at least once a month to show you guys any new offerings that they may have But I've been doing so many incredible things in the month of September I haven't been able to make it out here yet And I know they're celebrating National Hispanic Heritage Month So they have some new food items maybe over at the Nomad Lounge Which is one of my favorite places to go and also I want to explore around dino land USA because it's been on my mind Since getting back from the d23 expo It's always nice to see the different wildlife you'll find strolling through the park here at Animal Kingdom Kevin is a beautiful example of that. She's so majestic. Look at her I'm pretty positive Nomad Lounge has barrier tacos and Cuban sliders and I'm all about that So I'm gonna try to join the walk-up list so that we can actually go and try those new items out and any excuse to go Right now. No man lounge is a good excuse During the expo there was a lot of talk about what they wanted to do with dino land I mean, I love it over here dinosaurs one of my all-time favorite rides and they were talking about Moana And then also Zootopia, but let me know what you guys think what would you like to see happen? I mean, honestly, I wouldn't mind more dinosaur rides though because I just I think I love dinosaurs Honestly, I was not upset when they tore down primeval world I do not like those types of rides like those rides scare me like that type of track system I feel like you get so close to the edge and stuff like that And I was kind of excited to see what they would have built up around there And then when they said that they were just going to leave it vacant at the moment There's still no real answer to that question So it's really cool to just imagine and picture what they can do with the area Honestly, I feel like they can keep dino land usa and just get rid of chester and hester's dino rama I mean, I mean, that's a nice area. I do like it a lot Especially I like to try seratops spin But if they're looking to add something new, I mean they can keep this separate and still keep dino land and dinosaur attraction On its own over here. Do you know what I mean? Like you can have two different areas In fact, I think we're gonna actually go ride dinosaur right now since we're in this area I have a couple of rides that I actually want to do today. I want to do expedition everest I want to do uh cali river rapids maybe kill them in jarosafaris But since we're over here, I might as well. I mean like I said, it is one of my all-time favorite rides Look at all of the characters out and about in dino realm with all Look at this Oh, and there's donald right there Look at this is this is high class entertainment right look at donald He definitely steals the show sometimes Well, I was excited to ride dinosaur But it looks like it went down for technical difficulties and I wasn't waiting long So I figured I would just leave and head on over to expedition everest and then always stop back here Wasn't a long wait anyway, you know, I mean like it's not like I've invested a long time And expedition everest has a low wait time. So we're gonna head over there instead There it is expedition everest looking beautiful as always. I love it so much this is definitely one of the best themed roller coasters in the world and uh, it always cools you down too It always makes you a lot cooler after riding Also pro tip expedition everest has a single rider line And it's usually like a zero minute wait to always check that out if you don't mind riding by yourself And here comes our ride vehicle now and we're doing front row I'm pretty positive I keep my hat on this whole ride without it falling off This feels so good this beginning part right here Look at spaceship earth tower of terror I might need to hang on to the hat for this part though Already looks like somebody dropped their magic band plus right there Also looks like it's the partner statue one. I don't know if you guys can see it. It's right there I wonder if it'll set off like a notification of where it's at I always look to see what they dropped on the rides Oh, yep. See it's right here I love everest it really is such a fun Amazingly themed ride and now it's time to get something to eat And I think we're gonna head over near nomad lounge because I was gonna try to join the walk-up list But it said I was not I was too far away over here at ever So we're gonna keep walking until I can actually join It says it's a 50 minute wait and it won't let me join I'm please let me join. I'm really close now. I'm making my way almost back to dinoland Any second now There we go. We made it now. It's a 40 minute wait But it took me all the way until I got basically into discovery island to be able to put myself in And just like that bada bing bada boom We are on the list and I like how they have the walk-up list for things like this I mean to be cool if you just walk up and go in but you know A good place is always going to be busy and they're going to need to have a return time so we'll wait for that and If we have time maybe ride another ride Looks like we're walking by right in time for kite tails to be going off Look at this. I also hear this show is going to be leaving soon, too I love it. I like the jungle book one better than the lion king. Oh, look at that Pretty they remind me of the epcot forever kites It looks like we won't have enough time to ride a ride before we had in the nomad lounge because they already called us And told us our table's ready and it wasn't even 40 minutes. That's awesome And here is a look outside. They have a menu of the hispanic heritage month specials. They have a cuban frita Sliders, which is a beef and pork patty with shoestring potatoes and yucca fries Then they also have a berry a taco with veal. That sounds amazing some tres leches a blood orange sour A lot of good stuff. So we'll try as much as we can but I do love getting the tempting tigress This is a good one. It's nice play on an old fashion This lounge is such an awesome place to just come and relax I actually opted in for sitting outside today because it's really nice day But they do have a nice inside with some go to ac and I like I said the food's always amazing carrot Look at this and we have one of the best seats in the house because you get to see all the characters come by Hey, look it. Wow, that is really cool Very very special, right? I can definitely go for a cup of coffee They have amazing press pot coffees that they actually serve at tiffin's and I think you can get them here at the nomad lounge To start off. I decided to get myself a little press pot coffee You know, I love getting the press pot coffee here and they brought it out and they gave me some steam milk Some brown sugar like look at this whole setup. Isn't this impressive? I like it a lot And then my friend Texas takes actually sent me over one of my favorite drinks. How cool is that? So now we've got some coffee some water and some bourbon everything you need This is so cool because if you guys notice on the way in I pointed this drink out and said this was my favorite drink So cheers cheers to the Texas takes Now we got to make our coffee and I wanted to show you the food came out here are the tacos And look at that cost me right there I cannot wait to dive into that and then of course we have the Cuban sliders with the yucca fries and these look amazing Wow, these are going to be some really good food. But first we're going to enjoy a little coffee grab some brown sugar there Got the press pot. Oh, it's a little slippery little sucker. It's like pretty woman We'll drop two two in there some of the steamed milk That's burning my finger Some hot coffee on a hot day. I do think that's a good idea. I don't Oh so good though Enough for the coffee business. Let's get down to the taco business and I am so excited to try these I love this and I love just dipping it in there. It can be a little bit messy Just be one. Oh, wait, wait, wait. We missed a very important thing here. Gotta take that line And we gotta there we go just a little bit get it all on there and then we dunk then we dunk Now I'm very excited to try these they said the cheese is kind of like a very stringy mozzarella So we'll see how it goes. But uh, I'm excited. They look amazing Wow So much flavor. Holy moly Honestly, there is just so much happening in there so much flavor and I love it. They uh, the meat itself is perfectly seasoned And you best believe I'm going to be using some of this for some of that We're going to be mixing things around. In fact, I might do a little bit of that with a little bit of this for the yucca fries Honestly, I think I could probably dip anything into that. It's going to be delicious Okay, but now it's time to get to the little Cuban sliders I should probably try it on its own before I start dipping but uh, I feel like I'm going to like these the most I mean, I do like the tacos a lot. It is very very good But these just look so amazing the buns are nice and fluffy and I can see the uh, potato straws on there This is like the perfect little slider for me So here we go. I mean, we're just going in for it This is absolutely amazing and the funny thing is is you would think all of this kind of looks like it's spicy But it's not spicy especially with the seasoning on the lime But oh my lord, I cannot even begin to imagine how good this is going to taste right here Now believe me the sliders on the room definitely are just a rock star menu item on itself But combining these together are probably going to be like what it's like when worlds collide And I'm so excited. I know if you can normally get this I wonder if you can ask for it on the side Even though you don't get the tacos, but here we go Perfect perfect perfect right there. That's the bite. That's the best thing so far If I was to choose between both of them I would have to go with the sliders though because those were just so good But I think you need more consomme with the The tacos, you know what I mean? Like I feel like you need more They only give you like not even two ounces probably an ounce maybe I wonder if you can ask for extra like if you could definitely do that and also sitting out here It's super hot when the sun is setting on this side of the park So be warned if you come here around three four o'clock And you're close to the window be prepared because it is very very hot Huh This is me hiding from the sun pretty bad I feel like I just got to keep it like that. There we go. We're good. Don't be suspicious There we go. Ah, this is good. This is enjoying life I'm sure it doesn't help that I'm actually drinking coffee, but I need the energy, you know I actually just got back from a really fun adventure and I had a lot. Oh, I didn't even tell you guys about that My friend who is a pilot Asked me if I wanted to go on a little adventure with him and I was like, yeah So he has a private plane and it's a, you know, small Cherokee plane and it's only fits four people in there So me, uh, my friend and then my friend the pilot all decided to just take a random Flight all the way up to Jekyll Island. It's an island by the ocean off of Georgia and it was amazing like we went up just for 24 hours We did so many amazing things that didn't even bring my I brought my camera and I thought about making a video But I just enjoyed myself and hung out and made memories We went to a place called Driftwood beach and it was so beautiful But most of that stuff I put on my instagram stories and I did a little highlight reel too So if you follow me on instagram, just go check the little highlighted section that says Jekyll Island It was a great trip and it felt good to kind of just get away. That's why I haven't posted a video in probably four days You know, uh, I was just down about in georgia flying over georgia Now that we've gotten done at nomad lounge Like I said, I wanted to get dessert somewhere else and over at pizza fari They have an incanto cupcake and it's like a tres leches cupcake So I mobile ordered one and figured we'd grab one and go from pizza fari to Kilimanjaro Safari Wow, and here it is and I have to say I am impressed. This is the first time I've ever seen The cupcake icing ratio be more towards cupcake side Like there's not like a gigantic icing glob on top and that makes me feel like I have high hopes for this cupcake And it's tres leches It's so funny because normally when you get cupcakes, like I said, the icing is like a gigantic glob on top of this one It looks good. I've never seen a cupcake this well balanced. So hopefully we'll see what it's like We're gonna cut in it cut down the half. I also like to see how they incorporated the tres leches in it You know what I mean? Like where's the melky? You think it's in the center? The chocolate actually melted. Look at Look at this poor little thing. It's melting up now. It's stuck to my knife. There we go All right, let's cut right down the center here destroy this beautiful cupcake a little bit Oh, wait, first we got to take it out of the wrapper, right? Yeah, let's do that first I don't know where they're cupcake. Oh, this is a fancy wrapper. Oh my lord What this is so that you can take it out so easily look because it opens up Oh This is a game changer. Look at this So you might be able to just pop this right out what I've never seen disney use a wrapper like this before either So we're gonna just pull it out here. I guess Oh, wait. No, we're not because it's tres leches. That's why it's like this. Wow. What a fool. I am, huh? That is so buddy and I just said that too, but you can look it's a very melky cake at the bottom there That's hysterical I really love how things just started clicking for me. You know what I mean? It all just started clicking for me And I'm like wait a second So it's not like a traditional cupcake because you can't really take it out of there And you know if you guys had tres leches before you know, it's a very melky wet cake So I'm just gonna have to grab a little fork and we're gonna have to dissect it a little bit It's still way more cake than icing though. So here we go first bite Wow You can really really see The center there look at that. I've never had boba bowls in uh, tres leches cake before either But it's a very very wet cake It is definitely one of the better cupcakes I've ever had here too I mean, I think the tres leches part really plays into it But disney's known for not having the best cupcakes this one though. I kind of enjoy And I guess I can say that the incanto cupcake was a win very very delicious And now it's time to go from beat safari to kill manjaro safaris and it's only a 10 minute wait Look at that perfect time of the day too. So they might be uh feeding the animals right now That's always the time I like to come I'm thinking maybe after we ride kill manjaro safaris Maybe we'll head on over to cali river rapids I tend to wait for that to be later in the video because there's a good chance I might get soaked and be a soggy bottom boy Looks like our uh, safari is about to begin Oh, let's go Asante sana squash banana Jombo everyone in the family I'll be your safari driver this afternoon Wow, I've never seen these bongos on the move like this In the wild we can tell the males apart from the females because the males have that darker brown color on the front half Of their body and the females are the same color throughout so we have one male there It's gonna last in the rest of our females On our right hand side we have an okapi it has black and white stripes on it's legs so many think it is I think it's definitely close to feeding time Where'd all those crocodiles go? Look at it They're all gone must be cleaning Oh, wow, you could see hyena actually eating right there when we try to zoom in It's a complete exhaustion Look at that Look at this giraffe right here It's like blending in with the tree But you can see him eating That is so cool looking His neck is literally exactly with the tree right here Oh lord, there's another one too All right, who let the water bucket in that you want hard burrow Oh, that's so funny Oh, there's one right there. There's a little rhino. Oh, we got a rhino too Oh and then the baby rhino That was such an awesome safari and I got to witness a lot of things for the first time that I've never seen before Like I've never seen the wild dogs or hyenas actually eating so many animals in different areas too Like I've never seen them like that far out like the water buck Over by the wart hogs and then the giraffes near the elephant area there and then the missing crocodiles I mean it was really cool and it was feeding time So I highly suggest if you want to come do Kilimanjaro safaris then look between like four and five thirty-ish because right now Look, I almost wanted to go look to see what time it was on my magic fan but I think right now it's like a little bit after five and I don't know what time they feed maybe a little bit beforehand, but that was so amazing. It's the best time to go Now I think it's time. We make our way over to Cali River Rapids It definitely looks like it got a little bit more like gloomy out Clouds got a little bit gray and I think the park is starting to clear out So it's probably not a long wait for Cali River Rapids and I don't mind getting wet at the end of the day The only thing I don't like getting wet are my shoes Honestly, it's like as soon as I said that it started raining Like it literally just started raining and I don't have a great shoe game Normally I wear crocs to the park because if I get like on a rainy day Then I don't have wet soggy sneakers But I decided to wear my special air monarchs, you know the the really comfy shoes And I don't want them to get too wet. So I'm gonna have to be careful But we're still doing Cali River Rapids. I actually brought my GoPro just for that Normally I would probably be hiding from this rain right now because I didn't want to get wet But like we're really just gonna walk right on the Cali River Rapids right now with the possibility of getting soaked So we're just going for it Now you're probably gonna hear a slight audio difference when I switch over to the GoPro But that way, you know, the camera is gonna stay in good running condition And I don't have to put it away when we get to the parts where you get wet I could just let it happen. So let it be a lot of fun And I don't know why I haven't thought of this before usually I just brave it and I bring my camera I put it in a little bag. I do have a bag right here I get it at the gift shop on my way in and I put all my good possessions in there because You know what I mean? You only get your batteries electric and watered and you know your wallet So the camera's going in the bag and the GoPro's coming out got it right here in my pocket Double doing it today One of us is gonna get wet here We're ready the storm is coming. I like that we're going into the hog like this Oh, I hear lions tigers Actually, do you see the tiger face in the water fountain right here and the waterfall? I don't know if you see it or not. It's such a cool little touch there It is actually really raining kind of heavy big drops big drops of rain Yeah big drops of rain I'd rather it be raining on a wet ride though, right? Oh, it's really cold. Oh, it's coming down now There it is. Oh boy. Okay. It's really coming down Oh, no, we might have made of us. We're coming up on the big drop soon. Don't right now. Holy moly We're turning the water If they wouldn't say hey, you want to go again? I think I'd go again. I'm already wet. I'm already wet Oh As I sit here Soaking wet. I don't regret my decisions Feeling great. I just don't want my shoes to get wet. I hate the sound of wet shoes. Hate the feel of wet shoes If you've got you can't take your shoes off on this ride. No shoes. No shoes. Don't serve it Well boy, oh boy, this might be the probably most soaked I've ever been coming out of a park I mean, there's not a single dry part of my body or my glasses. I can't see anything I mean, I'm soaked and it was really cool. I'm so happy that we had that gopro on there On the on with us while we got to ride we actually got to ride it twice We got to ride it back to back in the family that was riding with me. We're so awesome So, thank you guys. We really got to know each other D man. You were so cool And it's funny because they didn't think we were going to be able to ride again So when I was like hyping it up, I'm like, let's ride again And then we got to the part where we'd have to get out of the vehicle I was like one more time and they're like go ahead go They were like wait what they didn't think that we could and then they were like, oh boy And we just got wet like we just we just stayed in and just got completely soaked So it was such a fun memorable experience Now it's time to make our way out and probably get home Gracie's probably wondering what all this lightning's about because she you know She doesn't like the lightning and thunder. So maybe check on her and probably end it out from there I gotta dry it off though. I mean I can't I can't see anything The glasses are completely like gone and I don't even have my hat on I'm bald Where's she at the most beautiful girl on earth? Gracie girl You want a cookie? Gracie you want a cookie? What? Who's a good girl? Who's a good girl? Who's a good girl? Ready catch Gracie what's wrong with you? You didn't catch it. Hold on. Here we go. You ready? Here you go You're so funny And with that time to dry off and uh Get into some dry clothes. So I hope you guys enjoyed the video I hope everyone is safe with the approaching hurricane make sure you take the proper precautions Make sure you stay safe, especially to all my friends down in Tampa Um, and I'm gonna monitor and see how it goes from here Uh, hopefully I might be able to go out to the park to maybe one or two more days before it actually hits They're saying maybe wednesday Wednesday thursday, I mean I try to keep up on it, but it's really tough and uh Me Gracie will be fine. Just hanging out. Whatever comes our way. So I hope you guys enjoyed the video All I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye
