 Hey friends tonight, we are celebrating New Year's Eve here at Epcot This is definitely one of the best places to be to bring in the new year It is so much fun all around world showcase They have these little parties and raves a silent disco, so I cannot wait to actually show you guys We're gonna ride some rides eat some food drink some drinks and have a happy new year Anyhoo, let's go do this I am so excited for 2023 I had an amazing 2022 and I can only hope that the new year is going to be the same and last year I actually came here to celebrate and it was like a non-stop party. I loved it so much So I had to come back to do it this year again One of my favorite things about celebrating at Epcot for New Year's Eve Is how you get to actually bring in the new year Multiple times a night because as you know world showcase has all the different Pavilions from countries around the world and those time zones is when they celebrate so like seven o'clock in the United Kingdom You celebrate New Year's there and then I think the France is actually six hours ahead of us too So you celebrate in France and then of course that midnight you have the grand celebration And it's just amazing fireworks show where they shoot off fireworks from every single country And it is astounding and hot like I said, I'm just really happy to be here I'm not too sure if they're doing the same exact thing from last year But a couple of things that I remember is like the fire-breathing Dragon dance party in China and then they also had a silent disco in the United Kingdom Which is really cool this really amazing techno like rave in Italy and each country has something else going on Whether it's like a dance party or they have food and beverage items some special boots and it really is a good time But super crowded very very busy Like I mentioned before I had an amazing 2022 it was such a great year I got to do so many cool things and travel to such unique places that I've never been before and It's funny because I think I traveled more in 2022 than I have ever traveled in my whole entire life Got to go to Las Vegas, New York, California, San Diego. Like it was so cool and 2023 is gonna be awesome. I'm so excited that the things that we have planned and the things that I'm gonna be doing I cannot wait to share with you guys and I'm so happy that you guys were with me Like I got to bring you along and show you guys all of my journeys and it's been great So like I said, I hope 2023 is gonna be just as good to me as the 2022 was I I plan on talking about some of my New Year's resolutions and things I want to improve for myself in 2023 Little bit later on in the video as we go around and celebrate But like I said, I'm looking forward to it and thank you guys so much for being there. It's been great and it's gonna be great One of my New Year's resolutions is I want to switch up my look a little bit I think I'm gonna up my hat game and wear different types of hats I like wearing the fedores, but kind of want to add a little variety to it In fact, it's the first time I think I've started off a video with a baseball cap in quite a long time So well, that's something I got looking forward to and I'll still wear the fedora Just I think I'm gonna be doing different things at the same time And a new year with an old friend Happy New Year. You're a head in the Magic Kingdom, right? Very nice Happy New Year. Is it New Year 22 or is it New Year 23? Yeah, I always say Happy New Year's I I say 2023 because it we're in the future Yeah, yeah, I mean it's it's the future New Year and I think the next time I'll see you is probably next year So I'll see you next year See you next year See ya It's really nice to run into friends and it was good to see Adam on New Year's Eve In fact, we're gonna be seeing lots of friends tonight We're actually gonna head on over to the Swan Reserve real quick because that's where all of us are staying all my friends and everyone Is staying at the Swan Reserve because if you do plan on coming to Epcot on New Year's Eve Know a couple of important details like number one, you know lots of people are gonna be drinking So you don't want to be driving and it's almost impossible to uber out of here It gets so backed up like ubers just aren't available So their best bet is to stay on property or find someone that's gonna pick you up and drop you off because even if you do drive And you don't drink it's almost impossible to get out of there because the crowds are all leaving right at 12 o'clock Luckily there's a lot of resorts that are walking distance to Epcot and that includes the Swan Reserve here and then you got boardwalk and yacht club a lot of good places that you could just easily walk home We don't have to worry about Disney transportation because that's gonna be super busy, too so we're gonna get all together and Then make our way back over to Epcot most of the festivities start again night Once the lights go off like you know I mean that's when the parties will start But we do got to make it there for seven o'clock for the UK And I think France and Italy they start celebrating at 6 p.m. Because that's when it is 2023 for them Look at this view from outside the window you can actually see a little bit of everything Nice little sunset a little blue at the moment, but I like it Now it's time to make our way back to Epcot We're walking from the Swan Reserve. It's so pretty here. Look at this. I Love it. We have made it back to Epcot And now I think we're gonna head straight to the Rosen crown and get all settled in for seven o'clock the new year in the United Kingdom It is six o'clock right now the silent disco starts at 705 back here in the United Kingdom Pavilion and then they do their like celebration usually right here so I think we're gonna head on in to Rosen crown Because they do the special do your zee fireworks show at midnight tonight or I think it starts at like 1145 They do the regular fireworks at 6 30 so between now and 705 we're gonna do regular fireworks and then celebrate 2023 here in the UK Alright, we made our way into Rosen crown. Gotta find a spot at the bar hop in like Appletini I Would say the Rosen crown is a little bit busy right now. Who's the Rosen crown? I would say It's busy in there. I don't think so. No, no. It's a nice night out. Like, you know, you're local Applebee Applebee's. Yeah. Oh good to know I just seen it it is Lincoln We're getting really close to everyone sorry She needs a shot. Oh boy This is very close We have successfully gotten a drink from the Rosa crown and now it is five minutes till seven Everybody is gathering around in the United Kingdom Pavilion ready to celebrate right only five more minutes This is where everyone is at and the line is forming for the silent DJ to Usually it's a long line because they only have a certain amount of headphones, but pretty sure most of The United Kingdom like cast members will come out bring out the flag and usually do a little ceremony if they can But right now I don't know because it looks too crowded. I don't know if they're gonna be able to do it this year actually I Silent disco is officially open. Look at it. It's turning into the party. We've already broken in the new year once tonight It's so funny. I literally almost missed the countdown I think I actually did miss the countdown because we're all just hanging out here and a lot of people were just talking and All of a sudden they just started counting like ten nine. I'm like scrambling to grab my camera I actually threw my phone on the ground But I did catch the tail end of it in the celebration and now it's time for the silent disco All right, here we go Thank you We got two channels red and blue tonight. All right. Yeah, all right. All right I'm excited In case you weren't aware of what a silent disco is it's where everyone wears headphones And you only hear the music in your ears So everyone is just like dancing around and grinding and grooving but without the music and it's hysterical But this is like what you would hear, but what like nobody else can hear Also really funny because there's two different like DJs going on so like red is listening to a different song Then blue and you can switch them like on your headset itself, but that's why you can hear different people singing It's really fun And when you're done you drop them off so they can get sanitized Now back Yeah All right, it's enough of this silent disco It's time to move along and I think we're gonna make our way towards France. Yeah, is he gonna finish it? Wow? That's impressive bottom boom All right, we're moving out. We're moving. We're leaving the UK. I Love how they have the people directing traffic So it's kind of like this way and then that way and you can see all the parties happening Japan looks lit over there. Well a bunch of strobe lights happening. You see Italy. It's such a good time. I Ran into some friends who got the special New Year's drink in France. Look at it grand Marnay Is it good? Yeah, it tastes like Now how much was it? $21 holy moly It's worth it. Oh, okay. Well, maybe I'll get it Thanks and happy new year We're gonna make our way and we're going right through France They don't have a special DJ, but they just had those special drinks I showed you and now it's time to make our way into Japan and that looks like so much fun But you can see it from across the water and you're just like I want to go to there Wow, look at Japan. It's crazy over here I Had some like cool music and lights, but now we're heading to Italy They used to have something here in America was like salsa dancing But I guess they're not doing it this year and the next big thing is Italy and you can literally see like the party Happening like as you get closer to it. It's pretty impressive Look at this. Look at you could see just from the side here. Well, it looks like so much fun I can't wait to get in there. Oh boy.

Hey You're in love with me And we're gonna head back to the silent disco at the United Kingdom because I really do love it over there It's such a good time And then we're gonna have to figure out where we're gonna watch the fireworks from because that's like the big deal The countdown to midnight is where you know what I mean? That's what counts Nobody But now we are back at the Rose and crown and we only have 30 minutes to go place to watch the fireworks Behind the Rose and crown spot that that's what we're trying to do I have a feeling everyone watching right now knows about it though. Yep. People to get a cheer again. I think we're done 2023 in 20 minutes, I'm gonna try doing a fun little trick here I hope it works, but I don't know. We're gonna try to put in the GoPro up here and see if we can catch the fireworks We should know that many of our world's showcase friends have already greeted the new year 10 a.m. This morning 2023 reach the country of japan one hour later China celebrated the new year Let's celebrate with them now Ah Six p.m. The countries of Italy Norway France and Germany Please join us in saluting our friends across the sea Done here tonight.
