 Hey friends today. I am hanging out at Epcot a lot of things are changing in the parks And it looks like we're getting back to normal One of the things that are changing that doesn't get talked about a lot is the fact that we can now bring Drinks and food items in the queues with us and that's amazing because it makes the wait time go by faster So we're here at Epcot and we're gonna ride some rides drink some drinks eat some food and just have a beautiful day Anyhoo's let's go do this. I Think I'm gonna probably head straight back to world showcase. Oh, but there's goofy Look at that. What a surprise. Oh, wow fancy Isn't it amazing when a wild goof appears like that I love goofy He is one of my favorite characters interact with and like I was saying I was gonna head into world showcase Cuz I want to go over to frozen see what the wait time is and maybe grab a coffee or a beer and hop in line And maybe take a ride on frozen. I can't believe fireworks are gonna be returning next week Oh, wow next week is gonna be July and I'm excited to see Epcot forever again and happily ever after It's so amazing how things are just getting right back to normal like I said It's so crazy to think how things have been progressing We went from no mask outside to no mask at all to fireworks returning and pretty soon Hopefully fast passes will be back. I mean that would be amazing. I would feel so happy I mean, I don't know. I think there's mixed feelings about the fast passes people think them being away makes the wait times Go down a lot, but I'll take my three fast passes a day. I don't mind that at all Pretty soon flower and garden festival is gonna end and food and wine is gonna start and I'm just so excited for July There are so many amazing things happening in July. It's gonna be such an amazing month It looks like the line for frozen ever after is 45 minutes for the wait That's not too bad. Like wow, I was expecting like an hour wait, but from the way the line looks it looks like it's a lot longer 45 minutes though, I'll take that We're probably gonna have to head on over to China and get in line But first we're gonna grab ourselves a drink And since we're gonna be queuing up in China to get in line to ride frozen in Norway Maybe I'll grab myself a nice little sing-saw. I even had one of those in a while. I Always like to run back to the house of good fortune to get my beer because normally it's colder back here and there's no line And plus you kind of grab your own. We got some good old sing-saw right here and then lucky Buddha up there I always go with the sing-saw And now we're in line for frozen. So cheers I'm telling you this really does make the line go by so much quicker Everybody loves line beers. I mean, it's kind of like a staple before everything got all crazy before you hop in line You either grab a beer or like I said even a coffee and you just drink it while you wait Now I'm about to head it inside the actual queue and I ran into some friends So it makes it even better. You have drinks in line and then you meet friends in line. I like it The funny thing is is I didn't even get the chance to finish my like I finished my beer before I got in line So I guess we're done here. Oh No, they closed frozen No I was never after has to be closed Please continue walking forward any post or post this will assist you or sorry for the inconvenience And we ask that you check back later in the day to see if we are operating. Thank you. Oh Yeah, the good thing is because the ride went down looks like we're gonna get up all past past We're gonna get a multi-experience pass so that we can either use to come back here or somewhere else We are Go through nice champion. Thank you Technically if we wait here for a little bit frozen reopened then we can ride with no wait And then still have the fast pass and I think that would be amazing But there's no saying how long frozen will be down for so maybe I'm gonna grab something to eat at the bakery and Just wait a little bit. I don't know. I think that sounds like a good plan And since I'm here in Norway. I think I'll stop and maybe get something to eat and drink at the bakery here This is what I ended up getting looks like we got some rice cream And then we got this cake and they said that this cake is like a vanilla custard with almond and kind of like angel food cake They said and then also a nice little ice coffee And we'll just sit here and wait and see if it opens back up I think I'm gonna try the cake first because this looks so good actually and I do love custard Oh, it's a little crispy Little unexpected and I also like almond. Oh boy. Okay. This is gonna be a little tricky, but we're going for it Maybe I have to lean in Wow just take a look at that So delicious and it's weird because the frosting is kind of like it's hard. It's not frosting. I don't know what that is the frosting kind of has like a Lucky charm marshmallow texture to it like if you ever eat in Lucky Charms marshmallows, that's how the frosting is So I should have asked him, but I like it. It's very good Now I'm gonna dive into the rice cream, which is gluten-free by the way This is not something you should be in with a fork though. So we're gonna have to scoop it out a little bit. I Tried to get a spoon, but they don't have any spoons. They only had for tonight. So we're gonna fork it Oh That's good too. Wow That bakery is amazing. They always have such great desserts Now I'm just gonna sit back and join my eyes coffee We'll give it probably about maybe a half an hour maybe an hour and see a frozen opens back up I mean, who knows they said they're assessing the situation. So I got time And just like that we are going in See, that's really awesome. Now we waited and the ride opened back up So it's basically gonna be a walk on from here and we still have our fast pass to win-win. I Guess it's just like they say good things happen to people who wait and look at that. We're going right in Here it comes So that was super amazing now I have my fast pass still that I can use for test track and I only did was wait outside the ride It was only down for probably under 30 minutes And I got to sit there and eat some nice items from the bakery and drink a nice coffee and then let it Reopen again and walked right on so it really worked out for the best Now we can go ride whatever ride we want to at our own time as long as we use that fast pass before 10 o'clock tonight I mean, I think I'm definitely gonna use it for test track. No other lines are as long as test track I just looked and it's a 75 minute wait So I might wait a little bit and that way when I use the fast pass it'll be much quicker Now I think I'm gonna head on over to the land and get something to eat from seasons And then maybe ride the land well first We're gonna see if they have any vegetables from the land at seasons because they used to serve like a succotash with all Ingredients that were harvest in the attraction itself And I thought it'd be fancy to come to Epcot and eat some vegetables from the attraction You know what I mean if you know, you know, but I'm excited just to get out of the sun for a little bit It is a scorcher today so hot and for the first time in a while No rain like it's been raining here in Florida every single day and it looks like there's gonna be no rain today Not a rainy cloud in sight It feels so good to get out of a heat. It's so nice and a seat in here Oh, man, I'm telling you like I said, it's a hot day But like I'd rather be anywhere else the planet than be here. You know what I mean on a hot day I'm happy in Disney like it's just hand-in-hand. It goes hand-in-hand It looks like living with the land is like a walk on it says 10 minutes But doesn't look like much of a line there and also seasons might be all the way open I think we're just gonna hop right on the land first. I wanted to ride this ride For a while now since I actually last time I rode this I came to Epcot And I basically went through all the rides at Epcot that had a special smell to them And I love the land and it has a special smell to it So we're gonna ride this ride and then we're gonna get something to eat. Hopefully from this ride And of course we have to be going front row. It's my favorite on this ride You get a clear picture of everything in front of you. You can see some lightning happening Look at those baby pineapples right there I didn't realize it until right now, but this ride is so much better during the day when you get this beautiful sunlight Shining in here. It's so amazing A peanut butter tree I've never even heard of that I Love here in the water and just smelling all these amazing plants celery chives rosemary But all amazing some squash right here, too That was a nice little ride on living with the land and now Hopefully we can get some succotash and eat some some of the vegetables Harvest from the land in the proper way the safe way and the allowed way Also, it's good to point out the seasons is doing walk-up ordering So it's not mobile ordering only anymore. You can actually wait in line and place an order I wasn't sure whether or not the succotash was still made from ingredients from the land But I did ask a cast member. They said yeah it was so it gets me so excited. Like I said, we're eating Actual vegetables harvest from living with the land. That is the coolest thing ever There it is. There's that succotash. I love this stuff. It's so good It's got and truly sausage in it and peppers and corn. It just makes together so good. I Found myself a nice little table and I think I stumbled upon like a little hack here or a little trick to a cheap meal so I basically got three sides and I think the sides are $3 a piece so $9 and wait to see the amount of food that I got So I got two orders of succotash and then one order of yellow rice and I'm like wow Here is the succotash and we got corn pepper sausage Everything in there and I got two of them and then one order of yellow rice So what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna put the rice down first Bada bing look at that. Oh, yeah, that's the way and then we're gonna put our Suck-a-tash down. Oh, wow, this is gonna be so delicious. Look at this $9 what a Deal, I didn't know that I needed to get I didn't know I was gonna get two sides of suck-a-tash I thought it was gonna be smaller portions. It looks like you only need one But wow so like for six dollars if you only got two sides, you get a very good decent-sized meal. I Think this is gonna be an amazing combination right here. Oh, yeah I don't know if you don't really eat all this but that is a lot of food for the price you're paying. Here we go Absolutely amazing Definitely a little kick though a little bit spicy. So if you don't like spicy food, you probably won't like it But wow, I love it Also if you did want to eat some other leafy greens from the land you can get dinner reservations at the garden grill Because I believe their salad is from the land, but this is really good. It must be the peppers Like I'm betting the peppers are probably the things that are from the land I don't think the corn is but regardless absolutely amazing now that we had our suck-a-tash It's time to head to test track and we're taking the escalator. We're going all the way up I'm also very excited that we're not gonna have to wait in line for test track We're gonna be able to just walk right in using fast pass. Hey friends. Oh, yeah, that's gonna be so fun. I Am so happy. We're not gonna have to wait in line. Holy moly The single rider line is open and that is a 20 minute wait, and then the standby line is 65 minutes Wow, right? Single rider line, but we're going fast fast. Oh Wow This is so much fun How cool is that so number one the single rider line is open it said 20 minutes 65 for standby. I'm in the fast pass line. This takes me into the build the car section So if you do single rider, you can't really build a car I don't think they have those kiosk open no they don't but honestly if you don't want to build a car You can walk right through and skip the line Like you can just go right out the doors and you will save yourself probably an additional 10 to 20 minutes I always let them know that I'm not gonna build a car So that way they don't assign me a number and it doesn't hold somebody up So they just told me to stay in here and to walk through whenever I get in there Building the car is kind of important if you've never done it before But if you've done it before and you just want to ride it saves you a lot of time So we just came out of those doors right there and when we get up here, I'm gonna show you all the people that would have been in the line before us And you'll see what I'm talking about where you can save a long time We would have been just coming out that door right now and take a look at that That is crazy isn't it? But also like I said, you're sacrificing not building the car So I mean if you've never done it before like I said, it's definitely worth building the car Or if you generally just like building the car then you build the car No matter what they'll always ask for you know what I mean Because I feel like that's common courtesy because if you don't ask first and they assign you a spot That's one less person that's not getting in there So I don't want to hold it to the line anymore and now I'm just kind of going right through it Look at this. We're all kind of just stuck here and where I was showing you before Everyone's just waiting there So crazy. I thought that I planned this right But what I should have done is I should have walked on the frozen and then used a single rider line here Because that was probably not even 20 minutes and then use my fast-passer soaring But I guess we'll just take what we got. It's still amazing no matter what I absolutely love riding test track and it's a good way to cool off I always say that when you get out there and you start speeding up literally you're just like I think I'm gonna head on through mouse gear and see if they got any fancy new things. Maybe we can buy I know that there's one thing that a lot of people have been sending me Pictures off. So I don't know if they sell it here or at Magic Kingdom It would make sense that it's sold at Magic Kingdom, but you never know mouse gears can always get some of the best things It looks like the one item I was looking for is not here And I asked the cast member and they said they were sold out But they had paging mr. Morrow Water thermos, and I was really wanting to get one and they checked the whole system. They said it's sold out everywhere They're probably gonna restock those so I'll keep an eye out I was kind of like wondering if I would be able to find one even at Epcot, but they were sold here They were sold everywhere. So like I said, we'll keep an eye out. It doesn't mean I'm gonna leave here empty-handed because I did get something really fancy I Peek something from the corner of my eye and take a look at this. It's a Cruella magic band Now I got super excited and kind of impulse like bought it because it's Cruella And I see all the spots and you know, I love Dalmatians. I love Gracie, but I have some sad sad news There's no spots on the magic band. Look it. I thought it was gonna be a Dalmatian magic band and it's lipstick I mean, it's Cruella in lipstick, but I was really looking forward to some spots Oh, well, it's still a really nice thing to add to my collection and it's limited edition 1500 still very fancy Anyhoo's with that. I think I'm done here today. What a fabulous day I you know, I love when days go like this. I had no idea it was gonna end up like this I thought I was gonna come here and make a video showing you how you can eat and drink in the line But it like got so different Everything got different at frozen once I got Evacuated out of the queue there got the fast pass and then ended up writing it again anyway And then the land and it just it all went together good. I hope you liked the video. I enjoyed the day So, yeah, we'll see you next time. Bye
