 Hey friends today, we're hanging out in Disneyland and it is officially the end of the D23 Expo My last day in California So I wanted to come out and enjoy the parks a little bit ride some of my favorite rides eat some of my favorite food And also recap you guys on my overall experience on my very first D23 Expo Talk about all of the announcements from the Disney parks panel and just have a beautiful California kind of day Anyhoo, let's go do this. I Wanted to start my day off in Disneyland But I have a prior park reservation at Disney's California Adventure and we're gonna have to wait to park hop That's something I was hoping they would have announced at the D23 Expo that they were getting rid of the park reservation system But sadly they did not Even though there were a lot of things I wish that they did announce at the D23 Expo I still had an amazing time It's something I've always wanted to do and it was my very first one and there's only one Disney 100 So we were here for that Expo And I'm still very honored that I got to attend But we'll talk about all the things and talk about the things that I liked and a couple of more of the things That I wish they would have announced, but mainly I just want to enjoy a day in the park Even though I did want to go to Disneyland There are a couple of things over here at California Adventure that I'm excited that I get to do One more time before we actually have to make our way to the airport I have to tell you I have been in just go mode the second I landed in the California from the plane I've averaged like three hours of sleep each night and then my hotel Wi-Fi They had some issues and there was no Wi-Fi in the whole entire hotel So I wasn't able to keep on posting as much as I wanted to do and stay up to date So these videos might be like a couple days after the Expo But yeah, it was a fun experience, but my dogs are barking my feet hurt I Really do love the atmosphere of Disney's California Adventure if I would have to pick Like three rides that are a must here. It's got to be the Incredicoster Guardians of the Galaxy and then Radiator Springs like I want to get those done. Oh look at there goes the Incredicoster right now We're gonna actually start riding some rides now But I thought it'd be cool to recap you on my experiences and thoughts at the D23 Expo Just throughout the video tell you things that I loved and things I wish they would have announced But first of all happily ever after coming back was such an amazing announcement I'm so excited that it's coming back and the way that they announced it We were in Hall D23 and the lights just went off and then all of a sudden Jordan Fisher Starts seeing happily ever after and at that moment. I knew it was coming back and it announced it But I knew and the crowd went crazy It was like thunder in there and it was such a great experience. I got chills so that was a highlight for me right there Looks like we're just in time to catch the amazing spider-man come soaring through the air here Definitely something you got to stop and watch I Always stop and see Spidey whenever he swings through the sky like that. I think it's still so amazing Now I think we're gonna head over to Incredicoaster I only got to ride this at night So I really want to ride it during the day and then also we do have a blue bayou dining reservation But it's cutting it a little close to our flight time So I'm not too sure if we're gonna make it, but I'm really hoping we do because I've never eaten there before it. I Was fortunate enough to ride this ride when it was California screaming and honestly I love the Incredicoaster. It is so good. Look at this Oh, I can't wait It is such a fun ride I Decided on getting the genie plus and it still trips me out how we have to actually scan To use the lightning lane because I'm still used to my magic band, but you just put it in like this and bada bing bada boom Oh boy Oh boy Love it so much. I think I like it better at night though because like you see all the lights a little bit more and now I think we're gonna go celebrate with a Drink at the lamp light lounge another really cool place to actually hang out down here at Pixar pier Look at the seat we got here Kristen Wow That's a view right there What a view I tell you now This is really shaping up to be a pretty epic day if we were able to start off by riding in Credit coaster hanging out here at the lamp light lounge Then we're gonna go ride guardians hop to Disneyland maybe blue by you maybe some rides over there I'd be happy with this being my last day over in California. I'm loving the vibe right now Here is a look at the menu at the lamp light lounge boardwalk dining I actually got a walk-up Reservation for this and they have known for their really cool looking drinks, and then they have some good shorts to share Chili ginger port belly sliders. I think I've had them before Port belly Brussels sprouts chorizo nachos a lot of good stuff But you're just paying for the view like I said, this is just so breath-taking. I don't know why I love it so much Drinks have arrived. I ended up getting the Mickey fun wheel because I just think it's so cool But Kristen got the what the open ocean the open ocean I definitely made a mistake I mean that looks so good Here we go So good very strong though very very strong. It's definitely a fun wheel. I also like the way it drops, too Now our food has arrived I ended up getting the pork belly sliders, which looks so good It's like a baguette like that is huge I thought they were gonna be little tiny because you know when you order sliders you think like little tiny sliders And then you got the moho chicken fries and that looks phenomenal, too This food is like a plus plus and we didn't even eat it yet people eat with their eyes first though So I'm pretty sure I'm already gonna love it I literally got these cuz I thought I was gonna get like two little sliders and I was not expecting this But we're giving it a go. I think I had this last time and I didn't look like this So it definitely did not look like this. Oh Wow These are so good Phenomenal definitely has a little kick to it. You can feel the burn, but wow a plus a plus I tell you I just love sitting up here though. It is so amazing. I don't want to leave But we do have to get the Guardians of the Galaxy In credit coaster down lamplight lounge down now Guardians of the guys I have to say those pork belly sliders were phenomenal. I absolutely love them But I really hope we can catch blue bayou So that's why I didn't eat a lot and we shared them between each other so that we didn't have to get full Because if we do make it to blue bayou, I'm gonna do some work. I Really wanted to ride cars, but it's been closed all day long So we're just gonna skip over and head right on over the Guardians and also the we're gonna be doing mission breakout The monsters on leash one starts at three o'clock every single night. That was a good time monsters on leash was phenomenal Walking through Avengers campus. I never get to see dr. Strange actually roaming around usually he's doing his little show or his Ritual that's really cool. And I think somebody else is over here. I don't know who it is You know peek around the corner because I know we had zombie captain America here the other day. Oh, it's iron man. I Think after Guardians, we're gonna hop over to Disneyland. Oh, gotta get some rides in there Wow, it is so awesome to be in here during the day and to see all the different Creatures and you can see figmen up top there. I always like to point them out good old fig me fig me I don't think anyone calls them fig me But we're gonna see him in person Epcot soon Left to right left to right only Yeah Oh, that's right you were there. Oh, no, he wasn't Guardians of the galaxy is such a thrill I love it And I like how they have two guardians rides that has random songs or different songs played each time Of course, you have Epcot and then you have this one over in California venture, but that is so cool Now we have to get moving along time for Disneyland. I Guess it's time to say goodbye to California adventure and the Pacific Electric I really wanted to ride that today, but we don't have to time. Yeah I mean I want to ride it, but we got to get to Disneyland. We got to go See if we can ride pirates and From California adventure right on over to Disneyland. I actually I wouldn't mind trying to ride the train today, too There's so much I want to do and I only have like two hours left makes me sad One of the things I was a little upset that they didn't talk about was maybe tomorrow land here At Disneyland. I thought hopefully soon they would have done something with it You know I mean either add the people move her back or honestly I was thinking like maybe even some rocket rods, you know like it not like entirely but something like that and They did announce that they are gonna be having a new show with a new parade and that this is gonna be the focal point for Disney 100 which it should be so I'm excited for that and I feel like there wasn't much for Walt Disney World You know I mean we got the new Epcot show, but they really didn't go in detail about the fireworks show over there They just said happily ever after was gonna be a part of it I Definitely need to come back and spend more time in Disneyland. I just get so happy walking down Main Street Seriously, oh man We're gonna have to be back before the holiday season I want to come out for Christmas time Christmas time in Disneyland. I don't think I've ever done that before One of the things I really wanted to do and I didn't get the chance to do last time I came to Disneyland was get some of the pumpkin spice beignets and maybe a nice mint gulup even though we are going to The blue bayou possibly you got to get in all the snacks that you can't have over in Walt Disney World I also want to ride pirates and Maybe even indie, you know That's true that is true In fact, I think we're gonna head right on over to the French market We got an early mobile ordering time slot to get the pumpkin beignets and Then we're gonna try to ride parts of the Caribbean, but it looks pretty busy There's always a long line at the mint gulup bar for either the New Orleans mint gulup or the Mickey shape beignets They're both a great combination I'm so excited for mint gulup and some of them man-catching beignets Look at I'm actually wearing a princess in the frog Roosevelt shirt. This one is a really cool one I wanted to wear it earlier at the D23 expo But I didn't get the chance and I like the concept art that they actually shared about splashfile That was a cool announcement and the inside at the top just before you're about to plummet It looks like there's some really cool lighting effects and I'm excited to see what that's gonna be like Cheers to the mint gulups Cheers This is gonna be so refreshing All right, I think we're gonna start off with the beignets and do the pumpkin one and it comes with a caramel coffee Sauce is that what it is? Here's first. I'm gonna dunk it right in there Oh, that must be too good. I should have done it on its own first to see what it tasted like. I dunk goofed Here we go Wow the sauce is where it's at The sauce is the best thing Wow I Didn't even realize but we ate those beignets so fast. They were good though. They were good the pumpkin spice I mean it didn't taste overly pumpkin, but this sauce is what really did it for me I like the coffee sauce. I like it. It's a little bit. I Don't know. It's a little bit. I like all the seasonal beignets though Gotta come back and try the holiday like the Christmas ones That's not even hooked up to anything christen. Your microphone is you're holding the cable in your hand Yeah, make sense All right now that we've gotten the beignet business taken care of I think we're gonna be able to go to the Blue Bayou, I think we're gonna have enough time and it's right around the corner here So I'm excited and also if you're not too aware of what the blue bayou is It's right in New Orleans Square here and it's kind of like The Mexico restaurant Epcot where you the grand fiesta tour goes through it But this one has pirates of the Caribbean that goes through it So we're definitely gonna ride pirates afterwards and enjoy maybe some jambalaya It's also located right next to club 33 and it's really really fancy. Look at this It's got little bee bees for the blue bayou. I like this a lot Kevin's actually in here today, too Oh, I'm wondering what this is. This is the guest list Huh? Nathan that's me Yeah, Maro. Yeah, very fancy Yeah, are we ready to eat? Well, all right. Yeah, well have a seat you're already in I wasn't expecting them to call us so fast But it's time to go now it is gonna be very dark in there because you're in a very dark setting But it is a lot of fun and I've watched videos and like I said This is one of the restaurants that I've been wanting to eat for years So today's the day we're doing a lot of new things on this trip and I'm excited to keep on doing a lot more Here is a look at the menu. We've got some chicken gumbo a blue bayou salad They've got some chicken jambalaya fava beans and pistachio pesto pasta a filet Some very good dessert, but we already had dessert and another cool thing is is they actually serve Alcohol here the only place in Disneyland other than I think Galaxy's Edge Maybe at the other sit-down restaurants and of course in the club, but it's cool that they have that Maybe I'll get some wine or a very nice beer. Oh, they have this good beer here. I don't know I'm excited first time dining here and It's been on my list for a long time All right, it's time to make our way in here. Look at all these nice beautiful curtains Oh, yes, yes, very excited Thank you. Oh wow This is my first time being here first time It looks so cool though It is honestly just so cool in here, I love how there's like a little house right here This is all inside the restaurant. I love the little lanterns and then the trees up here We really are in the bayou Bobby Boucher I'm really thinking about just getting some chicken gumbo and some chicken jambalaya and make a little jumbo a little jumbo or Gumbo lia a gumbo lia, you know, I guess I mean I have to I Know that we just had a mint julep, but they have a 31 Royal Street Signature Julep here and I'm kind of interested in what that is and it's really cool because this address is 31 Royal Street And we're right next to 33 Royal Street, you know what that is. Yes Fancy fancy I'm sure it's really really dark, but you can see people Starting to ride pirates right now Isn't that so awesome? I Love this part right here Actually, I like Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland a lot better than I like the one over in Disney World So hopefully we're gonna be able to ride it I really can't pass up the opportunity to have a drink inside Disneyland Especially in a restaurant like this. So I went with the the beer the draft beer, but they did bring out some of the 31 a mint julep and it's a lot of orange one. They brought it out for us to try which is really cool and it's not bad It's actually it's really good. I just had a whole mint julep though We got a round of gumbo's for the table and also we got our drinks Kristen, what'd you get a hurricane? Gotta get the hurricane you got the hazy IPA Yep, I like these glasses all they're very fancy. Well, cheers guys Not with the drinks with the gumbo's Nice cheers That's so good wow I have to say the color of this gumbo has me very intrigued look at that I Am very very intrigued people said the gumbo is amazing here So we're gonna find out nice big chunks of chicken. Look at that. That's a nice good helping a gumbo right there Here we go. I'm so excited. I am like really really excited for this right now Now I've never had any of you know Gumbo from New Orleans like real New Orleans. I've never been there But I can say that I think this might be my all-time favorite gumbo. I really really like it I like the portion size of the chicken and The overall texture and it's not too dark. Usually gumbo is a lot a lot darker. This is like more of a Like a chickeny color. I don't know. It doesn't make sense That gumbo really didn't stand a chance. I eat it so much so fast It was amazing and the combination of gumbo and beer. I can't wait to the jambalaya gets here. Oh Try the gumbo it's delicious. Don't believe me ask Barbosa. Oh Boy the jambalaya has arrived and it looks phenomenal We got four shrimp two sausages two chicken the rice is in there. This is on another level I have to say another level. I can't wait to dive in All right, I'm going in for my first bite here. I cannot wait to try it. I'm not getting any of the meats I'm just going for the basically the rice and the sauce here It's good All right, now let's try some of this sausage here. I'm gonna just flip this sausage around right like this There we go Take that grab a little of this a little of that There we go chicken I really don't taste any seasoning on the chicken. It kind of just tastes like boiled chicken, but now let's grab one of these big old shrimps That's key on don't Honestly Yeah, the chicken is my least favorite thing I would have just gotten the shrimp and the sausages if I could I wonder the next time if I come here If I could be like, hey, can I get no chicken extra shrimp or an extra sausage? I wonder if they do things like that hold the chicken Can I get a chicken for a hen A hen for a hen a hen for a ten Two for one a two for one. We're just cracking inside jokes and also pirates jokes at the same time Truthfully, this is a very good jambalaya especially with the shrimp But I feel like for the price point the french market jambalaya is like a lot better It's very very delicious out there and I think you can get three of them for the same price You can like get three orders of jambalaya for the same price as this But not the view or the beer or the shrimp Well now I truly am Very full that was really really good Like I said the gumbo was the best part of the meal and the jambalaya it was okay But I would have rather just gotten like an extra helping over at the french market And it was still awesome just to be able to say I finally ate the blue bayou And now we're gonna ride some more rides maybe pirates maybe alice maybe space mountain. I mean anything Is possible Looks like there's a lot of people online to ride pirates Not too sure what the wait time is but we're gonna take a peak see here I love the way pirates is set up here. It's completely different from Walt Disney World Oh, and look at that shot a big thunder mowing yonder across the river Oh, maybe it's not too bad. I see a bunch of rope jumpers though rope jumpers Sounds like a new uh long order Now we're gonna go ride the ride that we just saw while we were eating our dinner The ride that was in the restaurant that we were just eating at all that gumbo all that gumbo Yep, we can see where we're eating Look at this cool sign New Orleans square pirates of the caribbean Sail with the tide a thrilling adventure cruise through dark mysterious caverns where dead men tell no tales Ha ha ha ha ha babusa Oh, sir, do I have to cross over? Oh, here we go. We're heading back into the blue bayou. There it is That's where we just had lunch If someone's at our table, oh, they are someone's already sitting at our table Look off my chair They didn't even let us ride the ride without replacing us Can't even believe that That's supposed to be the real skull up there Yeah Look at it Oh Jack Sparrow speak up order your fancier swim with Davey Jones Thank you now you swimmers. What do I offer for these RT heads? Everyone an egg layer Come on there you parents rat Oh Pirates is so amazing way better than the one that we have in Walt Disney World so many more scenes I mean our animatronics are a little bit better and this one has three drops, which I think is so awesome But now I think we're gonna head over to Alice in Wonderland I'm really pushing this to the last minute. I think my flight actually leaves in maybe Three maybe four hours and I have to get all the way to Los Angeles So we only got one or two rides left in us before I got a run To get to Alice in Wonderland, we're gonna have to walk through Sleeping Beauty castle Well, look at Maria's here lbb tv fancy Did you I'm leaving in an hour You blew all the way down Yeah, we'll do one ride Usually Alice in Wonderland has a very long line and I never get to do it But because we got a lightning lane for Indiana Jones and it went down we got a multi experience And it lists this as a redemption I am so excited. We're riding Alice right now. This is such a fun ride It actually is a dark ride that goes outside Look at how cool this is.
