 Hey friends tonight. We are hanging out at the Magic Kingdom a lot of things have changed since the last time I was here including the fact that you can now drink a margarita in the Magic Kingdom How crazy is that and also I hear that they're changing up the lightning lane selection process for genie plus and I figured I come On out talk about the changes ride some rides eat some food and have a beautiful Magic Kingdom kind of day Anyhoo's let's go do this And here we are we have made it it is such a beautiful day out today a beautiful December day the temperatures in the 80s and There's a little bit of wind and it's just amazing. It's the perfect time of the year to come to Magic Kingdom Like I mentioned in the beginning of the video you can now get a margarita in the Magic Kingdom for the longest time you were allowed to have beer and wine at any of the sit-down restaurants and Recently they added specialty cocktails in there so you can get everything from bloody Marys to old fashions to Margaritas and I want to test it out. I want to try a margarita Magic Kingdom So we got a reservation at Skipper's canteen and I'm excited to actually eat in there and have a little fancy drink too I'm also excited to ride some rides today So I bought the genie plus and it cost me $15 and just a couple of weeks ago. I think I bought it It was $20 so 15 is a little bit better Let me know what you guys think about the fact that you can now drink in the Magic Kingdom I mean beer and wine has been here for a while But now we're talking about the hard liquor, you know tequila and bourbon and stuff like that I know that a lot of people will say Walt didn't want it But I mean what kind of did one he always had little special clubs and areas for him and his friends to drink in Disneyland and they're kind of keeping it inside the restaurants, which is a good idea But I feel like it's an untapped thing that it's like a revenue source that they could have been using I mean I rather them allow alcohol in Magic Kingdom than have to pay for lightning lanes I mean I feel like I mean what do you guys think would you would you allow? Alcohol to be just served all around Magic Kingdom if you didn't have to pay for a lightning lane and And speaking of lightning lane like I said I paid to actually get the genie plus today And I booked a big Thunder Mountain one and it's not available till 4 20 So when the new update comes into play there's gonna be an option for me to modify this without losing it And that's like one of the biggest gripes with this whole system You know I mean everyone misses the fact where you get to go in and refresh and try to get the you know Attraction that you want it or the time slot that you want it and they're gonna fix that so it's gonna make things a little bit easier Honestly I kind of enjoy the fact that you can't walk around Magic Kingdom with alcohol And I'm just saying I feel like they should add more designated areas So that people can stay in there and they can't bring the drinks out And if that's an additional revenue source that we can get like fast-pass back or more You know cast members and stuff like that, but I think it's worth exploring. I mean I would be all for it You guys let me know what you think I just kind of like hearing all of your thoughts and opinions And now I think I'm gonna make my way over to big Thunder Mountain to ride the wildest ride in the wilderness Another thing they announced is the fact Splash Mountain has a closing date of January 23rd And it's kind of funny because my mom was just down here recently and she wrote Splash Mountain for the very first time and The last time so her first time was the last time and she liked it She she thought it was a fun ride, but she said it is like kind of run down a little bit She's like these it looks definitely look like it shows its age and I told her I said well It's getting turned into Tiana's bayou adventure So I'm excited for her to come back and ride that and have a comparison You know I mean I think it'll be really fun and I'm kind of excited too But here we are big Thunder Mountain Railroad I love how a lot of people have pointed out that I say mountain kind of incorrectly like Mountain, but I say a mountain without the T and like everyone from my town all says it the same way like Everybody all says mountain because where I grew up. I lived on sport mountain and It just kind of blows my mind. I never thought I was saying it wrong We also say Scranton instead of Scranton Scranton Isn't that I've never realized it and it just it's it's kind of it's been blowing my mind for the past couple of months Here we go front row I do like the back row probably my favorite spot But I love seeing the front of the train here It turns feet and legs inside the train and be sure to look your kids If he knew folks are wearing hats or glasses Because this here is the wildest ride in the wilderness Oh boy Holy moly Big Thunder is definitely one of my favorite rides at the Magic Kingdom In fact, if I probably didn't get another ride with my genie bus today I would still feel satisfied the fact that I just got to ride that without waiting because I think it's a 60 minute wait And like usually it does have a long wait time and the queue can get super hot and sticky Like I feel like it gets so hot when you down on that corridor there So the least amount of time waiting in that and sweating it out is definitely worth it Now it's time. We actually make our way in for our reservation and I'm going to show you guys the menu a little bit I love coming to skipper canteen. It's such a fun restaurant the world famous jungle cuisine In case you weren't aware this is a jungle cruise themed restaurant So basically a skipper is actually going to be your waiter and it's so fun Like it's an adventure and uh dining experience at the same time They'll tell funny jokes to food is phenomenal. Some people say this is actually the best restaurant in Magic Kingdom And uh now we get to add margarita to the the mix of things Here is a look at the menu and just like I mentioned before here are the specialty cocktails They have a jungle bird that comes with some rum some cane sugar pineapple juice Then they have the golden haze margarita tequila Grand Marday agave syrup lime juice and smoked chili bitters. That actually sounds really good I'm excited to try that a tropical sangria and a couple of other things like the housemaid skipper sangria And here's a look at the food items They've got uh taste like chicken because it's chicken hard char soup pork and some lamb chops the bubba Lamb chops and I love how the menu is all jungle cruise themed too. It's very pretty Looks like our table is ready So we're gonna head in and I'm gonna show you guys a little bit of the inside of the restaurant We get this very well themed in there and there's three different dining areas and I always ask to sit in the library This main area here is the mess hall, but like I said, I like to sit back into the uh library area And they also have a jungle room too. They're all really nice and really well themed Here is the library room and our table's right here and look at the chairs Everything like is so fancy We're gonna sit on this bench over here all the artwork and then look at that painting right there Isn't that cool? It's really pretty in here One of my favorite tables in the library section is this little butterfly table right here I think this is so cool, but I'm just by myself. So I want to take a big seat like this But it's such a little fancy little booth and then also Look at this right here If you guys know what that is or what that stands for Let me know in the comments, but it's really awesome I'm definitely going with the margarita and also I'm going to get the uh, it tastes like chicken because it is chicken I've had every single entree on this menu and the chicken is one of my favorites But I'm also going to get an appetizer that I've never had before. I've never had it before These are called the kachapas and it's house made corn pancakes with beer braised pork Roast corn avocado cream and salsa and here they are. Look at this They look so good. Actually. I'm very excited to dive into these. I've never had it and then here it is There is my golden haze margarita Ooh fancy comes with a little orange on there some salt on the rim And I can't wait to taste this. I mean because it does have the grand marnay in there So it's going to be like an orange margarita First things first we got to taste this margarita It's pretty crazy to say that I'm drinking a margarita in magic kingdom like it's happening right now It's good. Oh, yeah This is actually a fantastic margarita really nicely blended not overpowering on the tequila or the grand marnay And I like it a lot like it's it's really it's actually the best way to describe it is a refreshing Margarita a refreshing margarita Enough of the margarita business. I'll be slowly sipping on that now. I want to dive into our Appetizer before the chicken comes and I remember they used to have a rapist on the menu here But they got rid of them and this is what replaced them and something new something new that I have never had before Whenever any food is served like on little tiny things like this I just think you have to pick it up and like eat it, but I think I'm going to cut it You know, I don't want to make a mess with all the salsa and stuff like that The pork looks really good though and then the avocado cream right there Here we go That's solid very good amazing flavor. I love it so much. Holy moly You grab a little more You know, it's good when you go in for a second fight you It's so funny because my skipper came over and said this is the corniest thing on the menu other than his jokes And it kind of just made me giggle out loud. I like the little puns, you know Now it's time for the main event and I have to say I am very comfortable in here Look my seat like it's just so nice and it has so many nice carvings in it I just feel fancy like king of the castle king of the cancy. Look at this. I have a chair. I have a chair And here it is And I love this chicken. It's so good. The breading is so airy and delicious the rice and the sauce It's honestly one of the best dishes on the whole menu. I always get it It's my this is what I go to when I'm just like in the mood for some good food right here Don't want to try anything different and uh, yeah, it's a it's a solid solid choice It's also the cheapest thing on the menu coming in at I believe 28 dollars 28 dollars, which I mean Disney prices that's kind of affordable. I mean, uh, any sit-down restaurants I'm sure you won't find anything under 20 dollars for any adult entree But let's cut right down in here Look at that nice crispy breading Just the way we love it got to get some of that sauce and some of that rice And a perfect bite will happen Cheers to chicken I should probably ask what kind of breading they use on that It just has this unique texture to it and it's like air fry like it just it is really incredible It's the thing that stands out most on this dish is the breading for me I just love it and I've never had a chicken with the same exact texture or feel to it I just asked and they told me it was cornstarch and it's a completely gluten-free menu item So I guess the more you know Another awesome thing about this margarita It's actually made with the rocks tequila dwayne johnson's his own personal tequila And that's what they use inside the drink who he was actually in the jungle cruise movie That was a nice little meal I enjoyed it very much and I love the chicken The pork was really really good But it's really awesome to be able to say I had a margarita magic kingdom Like that's something I didn't think would ever be possible and that's what we did today Now I think we're gonna move along go ride another ride We only have a little bit left in the park tonight is a christmas party So I think it officially closes at six or seven o'clock and the sun's going down real fast We're gonna start making our way over to tomorrow lamb But I just wanted to stop and give a little castle appreciation because look at how beautiful it is right now The sun is starting to set and it's getting that golden hour And it adds that color to the castle and that you only get to see it like this this this time of the day and it's beautiful Walking through magic kingdom right now. It's so beautiful the sunset the music And most of the crowds have all gone away because the park is closing And it's switching over to a christmas party and I love it I really wish I was staying for the christmas party tonight would be the perfect night I did go twice this year though. So I'm very lucky that I'll be able to do that But the first night that I went to the christmas party it got rained out like it was so bad The second night was very much success Something else I wanted to tell you guys about I'm actually doing another what not auction with a lot of cool Disney memorabilia and props and one of the things I'm going to be auctioning off is very rare I actually after this I have to relieve magic kingdom I'm going to take you guys back to my house and I'm going to show you some of the items I'm going to be auctioning off that you guys can buy and I'm starting the auction off on all the items at Like a dollar and it's a benefit and give kids a world village, but one of the items is a super rare Extinct attraction here at the magic kingdom like it's a piece from it and it is so cool But I can't wait. I'll show you guys later on Right over there used to be stitches great escape which was an attraction here at magic kingdom And then they closed it down But prior to that it was alien encounter And I happen to have a very cool piece of history From that attraction that I'm going to be auctioning off and I'll show you guys that later on in the video But it's definitely something pretty iconic I was able to get another attraction with my genie plus and I decided to do the barnstormer I want to see if I could see tron light cycle running or even the railroad because that's been out and about in the parks recently and uh, yeah might get lucky I mean the barnstormer is the perfect ride to actually catch any of those things from happening So that's why we're going to be making our way straight back to storybook circus And then maybe afterwards get a little dessert something to snack on since we didn't get anything at uh skippers canteen I might be more excited for the railroad to be back than to ride tron I mean, I mean kind of but I am super excited for tron, but I do miss the railroad It's one of the most relaxing rides in the park Oh look at that here it comes I cannot wait to ride it though that looks so fun You can also see the little tunnel here that's where the train is going to be going under And it's going to be cool because I bet you there's going to be a bunch of nice lights too That's going to add to the train so the train is going to be kind of a newer attraction as well It's funny because I'm actually wearing my tron light cycle Magic band right now. Look at that kind of cool and we just saw it going off Oh and here it comes our literal plane It's time to ride the best roller coaster until tron actually opens up And look the propellers are actually going to spin Oh Look at this beautiful view going to be once we get up here. Oh my lord Oh look at Goofy's cannon. It's actually lit. Look at that I loved the little details and I love that the the things are still spinning That was such a beautiful ride on the barnstormer the lights the sunset I love it It's a fun ride too. Like honestly just not being a kid roller coaster I I like it. I actually like it a lot. It's one of the go-to rides for me here in the park We're gonna have to start making our way out. The park is officially closed And only people saying for the Christmas party are allowed to stay but look at that castle shot now With the sunset happening there and they got the little projection and up lighting happening Very very fancy I haven't decided on what I should do for Christmas. I mean I've always come to magic I think it's been like maybe four years now four years in a row I spent Christmas day here at Magic Kingdom Because I couldn't get home to see my mom or anything like that And I might be able to do it this year. I might be able to make a short trip up So I'm thinking maybe I might do that go home just for two days See mom bonnie and enjoy the holidays up there with some snow But I don't know yet. It's gonna be a tough decision, but I'll have to decide soon Now it's time to make our way out of the park down a nice Christmas lit main street USA Home to see Gracie girl and also I want to show you guys all those cool props and memorabilia But I had a great day today. Look at it. It's so festive here I really do love the holiday season at Magic Kingdom and Hollywood studios and Epcot I haven't been to Animal Kingdom yet.
