We are celebrating at Epcot They are bringing back the special firework tag the heartbeat of America They're also going to be turning spaceship earth to the stars and stripes and I cannot wait to check that out We're gonna ride some rides and eat some special 4th of July food and just have a beautiful Epcot kind of day Anyhoo, let's go do this It is extremely hot out today, but it's a beautiful 4th of July It is 93 degrees out but because of the humidity it feels like 102 degrees and I am feeling it We're gonna be meeting up with a bunch of friends later on and celebrating all around world showcase And I am so excited like it is so awesome to be able to come to Epcot on 4th of July yesterday We celebrated at Magic Kingdom because they were doing their 4th of July fireworks the 3rd and the 4th so tonight we get to see Epcot's 4th of July fireworks, and I'm excited. I Think our first stop of the evening is gonna be here at Connections cafe They have a special 4th of July Leige waffle and I love that they're doing seasonal waffles now I can't wait to see if they're gonna do something for Halloween and Christmas. I Feel like I dressed appropriately for the 4th of July I'll give you guys a little fit check. I got the Captain America Roosevelt shirt on I got the America fedora on and I have a lot of fedoras that I don't wear often This is one of them I literally just have a closet full that I just kind of like to collect but also I got on the perfect footwear for 4th of July I feel like Normally I always wear sneakers to the parks, but for some reason I felt like wearing these bad boys out Got some crock action. This is perfect for 4th of July and maybe I can tan my feet a little bit. Look at that And I got some black shorts on I do have a matching Captain America Short set I should have wore that but I forgot and now let's go get that waffle. Let's go get that waffle Here is a look at the 4th of July Leige waffle and it looks really good a brioche dough with the pearl sugar 399 it's got a little hidden Mickey on it. Well, it's not so hidden, but I'm excited. It looks really fun and festive Wow take a look at all this amazing things that are happening back there It's like we've got a chocolate fondue right there, and then you can see them making the 4th of July waffles Look, you can see the little Mickey's on the wax paper right there. That is so interesting I didn't even know they make that chocolate in house. They make the chocolate things right here A lot of people always head over to the connections eatery to get the waffle because that's where they sell the Leige waffle over there But the special seasonal waffles are here at the connections cafe the Starbucks basically Holy moly we might have to come back for that waffle I've never seen the line for this Starbucks be this long. Take a look at this. Holy moly It is a busy busy day at 4th of July. Oh, I can't even believe this is all switchbacks, too That is insane like Wow, and this is the lobby of people that are actually waiting to get their stuff. Yeah, I think we're gonna have to come back Mostly all of the locals know to come to Epcot on the 4th of July because they can see the 4th of July fireworks on the 3rd So that's what a lot of people have done and it was super hard to get a reservation for Epcot today I actually had to go to Hollywood Studios first touch in and then park cop. So we're gonna be looking at a very busy day It's also the very last day for the flower and garden festival today So this is the last day to look at all the beautiful topiaries and also to grab any of the flower and garden food and Food and wine should be starting in in just a couple of days. I Think we're gonna make our way right on over to America We're going through America Fabitio and I was thinking maybe we should take the friendship boat Like we'll actually board the boat here and I'll take us over to Morocco And then we have to just walk right there a very fancy little boat ride The reason I want to head right on over to America is because if they're doing any special photo opportunities or anything like that It's gonna be over in America. So I want to get that done because you know, whenever you come out for these holidays You want to get that the special things done first We might be able to sit outside maybe I Love coming on the boat actually one time I watched the fireworks from here, and it was so amazing best fireworks show ever Goodbye, we'll never forget you That's two Titanic references, let me know if you caught any of them And we made it we made it to Morocco Now that we're over in America I tried rushing over here because I wanted to catch the last Voices of Liberty show, but it looks like I missed it I missed the Voices of Liberty I'm a little upset about it because that's like the best thing to do for 4th of July and now M80 is on the stage and that's a really cool band. It's a mixture of 80s that covers and Kind of just adds to the 4th of July vibes Look at this doesn't it just scream 4th of July We got the beat we got the beat we got the beat They have a special 4th of July photo opportunity right here outside of the American adventure So I definitely have to stop and get my photo taken They actually have two different 4th of July photo opportunities They have this one that says July 4th with Pluto holding an American flag and then they have the other one over here That's just a regular 4th of July Mickey. I think it's right here. I can show you guys Let's see. Oh, yeah, right there Holy moly M80s is playing some amazing music like I'm loving this We might have to come back later and catch their later shows. This is pretty awesome I think we should head on in the regal eagle barbecue get something to eat and Kind of just hang out in the American for a little bit Here at the regal eagle smoke house, they have barbecue from all around the country Kansas City smoked chicken Memphis pork ribs Texas beef brisket and North Carolina smoked pork butt. So we're gonna get ourselves some good Americana food. I Also love the theming of this restaurant in here, too. I'll show you I mean it's Muppet base But not too much Muppet just a little bit of Muppet and of course Sam Eagle Look at it in here like Doesn't this just say 4th of July? I mean, this is it I mean, this is the best restaurant to come for on the 4th of July And just like that here we are look at this. I love it I am so excited and I have to say it is really awesome to get the kids meal because if you get the kids meal You get two smaller portions and the smaller portions don't look that small like that is insane And you get two sides with them, too So I ended up getting the watermelon salad the baked beans with burnt adds french fries And then I had to get the banana pudding because this right here Might be my all-time favorite dessert in Epcot. It is that good the banana pudding here is beyond like Omega It is that amazing and it's like the perfect 4th of July meal. So we're gonna dive in little water Malone. I Am so excited to dive into the pork butt here I'm actually gonna grab a little bit just so I can try a little sample a little sample and I got some barbecue sauce over here Just a dab just a dab. Oh That is good But I feel like you don't need the barbecue sauce And especially if you have the baked beans with the burnt ends add that to your cold pork. That's the way to do it It looks like they give you about one two two bones on the ribs for the kids meal And the only thing I just keep on thinking about is that banana pudding like it is so amazing But you know, I'm gonna grab a little watermelon little watermelon first. I Love watermelon look at this, but it's like as a side It's like not even a slice of watermelon when you cut it up. You know what I mean? It's not even a slice of watermelon And what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna take this pork butt and then I'm gonna grab a little beans just like that I'm gonna try to be very delicate today because I don't want to end up with a barbecue stain on my white t-shirt Now let's check in on these ribs here What do you guys think? I've had all of this before. Oh, it's three bones. They give you three bones. I thought it was only two I've had all of this before and regal eagle is like one of the best quick services because like, you know It's something different than the traditional burgers and hot dogs and stuff But let me know what you guys think about the barbecue There we go We're gonna rip them apart here They're actually Won't come apart. Look it. I'm like trying to pull on the ribs here. Oh, there we go took a little string, but I got it I mean, they're pretty good. They're okay ribs, but it's not like the best ribs in the world I really do love the pork though and the watermelon Those are my favorite things so far I and I already know that the banana pudding is gonna be my favorite thing out of everything because that's just sensational sensational Enough with the meats. It's time for the banana pudding Let me know if you've ever had this banana pudding because you know what I'm talking about when I say it's amazing Look it. It's got them all the way down here, too. I'm gonna try to get that bottom cookie. Oh Don't ever sleep on the banana pudding Yeah 100% best dessert in Epcot in my opinion. You let me know but for me, this is it Now that we got a pretty decent 4th of July meal in us I want to keep moving around world showcase, but I noticed like this little gazebo or kind of like 4th of July area over here And I'm not too sure what it is Like I don't even know what they use it for but I wanted to take a quick peek see It's actually right over here Behind Regal Eagle. I don't even know what this is for. She's randomly here and like sometimes they have character Palooza back here So I wonder if they had some special meet and greets or if they play it on having some special meet and greets because this is really This is really nice. Very pretty back here Seriously it is completely off the beaten path. I don't know I don't even understand it Before we leave the American Pavilion, I do want to grab a moonshine sour now If you guys have never had one of these drinks before this is the most popular drink in Epcot I had a chance to actually talk to the person that is in charge of food and beverage at Epcot And he told me that this is the most ordered alcoholic beverage here at Epcot and it is it's pretty good beverage It's a little on the sweeter side, but a lot of people love it And you can get it right here at the Regal Eagle smokehouse and it's $15 old smoky blackberry moonshine blood orange Blackberry and lemon Look at that fancy All right, everyone. We got the best-selling drink in Epcot the blackberry moonshine If you guys don't know I ran into my friends we got Kyle right here two days in a row Yeah, this is the way 4th of July celebrations and we got Joe Joe and Krista and we got some Moonshine sour. Yeah. Cheers. Happy 4th Now that we got a big group of friends I think we're gonna go and scout out a spot to watch the fireworks tonight's a pretty important night and I'm excited to see the heartbeat of America and like I said, it's a tag So it's on the end of harmonious. So regular show just added a little special 4th of July touch to it And this is the first time with the barges out there So I'm excited to see what they project on there and also I'm still like curious if they shoot the fireworks off Behind America because they used to do that in the past. So I guess we'll find out Look at this everyone's all camping out already and another hour and a half to the fireworks begin Yeah, we gotta find a spot look, there's the tripods. They're ready That should have been us. I should have been us. We should have been ready. We should have been prepared Oh my god. Oh, wow taping Epcot. Look at this Honestly, we're you're really having a hard time finding a good spot and there's like several hours before The fireworks show actually happens look down here People are holding up spots All right, it looks like we found a pretty decent spot You know, it's kind of my go-to spot usually whenever I know there's like a special fireworks show happening And it's not too crowded. So we're gonna hold up a spot for a little bit and just wait Here is our spot right behind the Rosen crown and you got a good spot like right here of you in the barges But also I think they're gonna be showing up the fireworks above America right there So you kind of want to have it this spot right here, and it would be perfect Another cheers for the 4th of July here. Cheers Oh, you got a boomerang Oh The fireworks are gonna start in just a couple of minutes and like I said before they're gonna do regular Hormonias first and then they're gonna go into the hard feet of America like they're gonna do the 4th of July fireworks And it is so amazing I'm gonna show just a little bit of harmonious just a little bit But I'm gonna put in the whole show of the 4th of July because I expected to be the biggest Fireworks display ever like it's gonna crush it like from what I hear because this is the first time No one has ever seen this show before like it's never been seen before and I'm excited I think it's time It's only harmonious and then the holiday tag comes on Of a far off place where a hero's welcome will be waiting for me That's firework right there keep it that's a souvenir That's a shell right yeah, I thought it was a witch it I'll take one right here. Thank you Look, I got a piece still I'm putting it in my pocket. I'm gonna keep it forever Those fireworks were amazing. Holy moly. I felt like my whole entire body Shaking like it was insane I don't even know if the video can do like justice, but it was Incredible like I'm still kind of shocked by it and wow I mean it's just so amazing and technically tonight is extra magic hours for deluxe resort gas So everything's still gonna be open till like 11 o'clock at night and you can do whatever you want to think you can go in Shopping go grab drinks or eat the only thing is is unless you're staying at a deluxe resort You can't ride rides so the night is still young technically And even though it's past nine o'clock and the park is officially closed like I said because of extra magic hours You can actually still come into Rosencrown grab a drink or you can get some fish and chips. It's really awesome. Hey you As I was actually just standing here, I realized my arms are covered in ash But you can see it on my arms. I can't wait to show you guys I know look at that. It's I'm covered in ash on both of my arms I was standing in front of you I Probably took the brunch of the blow Yes, I protected you Now we're gonna start making our way back out to the front of the park and we're gonna try to catch this special Stars and stripes on Spaceship Earths. It looked amazing, but from where we were standing and waiting for the fireworks We couldn't see it. So hopefully they still have it going on I'm not too sure if you can see it from here, but it does look pretty good I'm gonna get a little bit closer. Maybe it'll stay but I want to at least show you for a second Seriously, that is actually really pretty. I wish they had like a show though Like I don't think they're doing like a special song or anything like that. I could sing As we're making our way out not only is the spaceship Earth all Representing and being patriotic, but even these lights down here too. Look, it's all red and white, but no blue But they definitely change it to reflect for the July Hey friend happy for the July like your Captain America shirt Now take a look at it from the front angle and it looks so good and you can see the stars on the top They're kind of like shining. I don't know if there's 50 of them I don't think they can fit all the stars and stripes on there It'd be pretty cool if they could but I don't think it's possible and I think it's just really beautiful. Oh Look at the fedora. I love it. Thank you Natalie. That's a beautiful. I think it looks fantastic Yeah, absolutely, let's do it And with that, I think we are gonna be calling it a night here. What a 4th of July like seriously it was so fun coming here hanging out at Epcot and Also being able to see that amazing fireworks show like I'm still kind of shocked from it Like I still I'm still like in awe because it just felt so crazy I felt it inside my chest like my whole body shook. It was phenomenal, but let me know What do you guys think if you watch my video from yesterday? I showed you magic came those fireworks and then tonight as Epcot's and I'm gonna have to say I'm team Epcot like That was way better than magic kingdom like it was pretty phenomenal, but overall such an amazing day So I hope you guys enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye
