 hey friends today we are back at Disney's California Adventure I wanted to come out and ride some of the rides I didn't get the chance to ride last time I was here like Monsters, Inc, Mike and Sully to the rescue and Grizzly River Run there are so many cool rides and then also eat some amazing food and just have a beautiful California Adventure kind of day. Anywho, let's go do this. I have been really enjoying this California weather it is 76 degrees out the Sun is shining so bright and it's a big change from Orlando in Florida in general but I like it. Weather like this is like perfect Spirit Jersey weather so I had to get myself a Disneyland Spirit Jersey established in 1955 look at this I'm so excited a nice little Spirit Jersey to add to my collection thank you please. I love this storyteller statue of Walt and Mickey and look at his hat look at Walt right there doesn't he look so distinguished this is a really cool statue and we are just getting started. I purchased the Genie Plus and made myself a lightning lane for Monsters, Inc, Mike and Sully to the rescue and that's one of the rides I've been really wanting the ride it's a dark ride based off of Mike and Sully and Monsters, Inc. you know I love dark rides so that's for a little bit and at the meantime I think we're just gonna hang out here go in the stores and see if we can spot any characters. Looks like the Bonavista Street Messenger service is out and about spreading some messages. I am really loving the atmosphere of California Adventure the music and I feel like I fit in perfect with my fedora and I just like it a lot here I could probably just chill out drink a Starbucks and kind of just hang out here listening to the music people watching if I was a local here I would definitely just sit on one of these benches right here and just kind of people watch like I said and just have fun but I'm not a local and time is very precious so we got to get and make the most of everything. I also want to make sure I try some of the amazing California Adventure food. I know they're doing food and wine festival and I think it's ending soon but I really don't want to do that I want to do like the classics you know I want to try like the classic California Adventure food I got to do that first and then try the seasonal offerings all right it's time for Mike and Sully to the rescue we're gonna go through the door my door it's so funny because just the other day I was at Hollywood Studios hugging Sully so now I get to go on his own ride I wish they I wish a dizzy world had a monster's ink ride I would ride it all the time I know there were talks about rock and roller coaster getting re-themed to a door like factory that would be interesting here comes our cab we're like a dog it's true I saw the whole thing happy birthday to you folksy boo welcome down like a yo-yo he was horrible in my own business putting this human child on me with its telepathic control they made me dance like a chicken my thoughts were not my own boo boo we gotta get you home this is adorable oh it smells so good in here come on nothing exciting hurry up Sully hurry up I've got booze doors set up on the scare floor race you to the scare floor never find her you're now snow don't oh no no no no my that was adorable I love this ride I love this ride so much oh we're going to decontamination station that was so awesome I love that ride so fun you know what I mean I like monsters and eight though but wow also I would love to see what it was like for superstar limo like that would have been really cool to see a ride like that but now I think we're gonna move along and try to do some more rides that we haven't gotten done and maybe get something to eat now I think I need I think I need some of my belly as I was making my way out I came across this little stand here and they have something called an affogato an affogato it's a vanilla ice cream topped with espresso and that sounds really really amazing six dollars and forty nine cents I think I'm going to get it affogato well forget about it affogato I'm a sucker for anything coffee like you know what I mean I love coffee I love coffee desserts I love ice coffee I like hot coffee I like frozen coffee and I like coffee and ice cream and I love espresso so this is like something perfect open there it is ah forget about it thank you oh it's like warm but cold at the same time oh I can't wait to dive into this I grab a little spoon excellent maybe a straw because you never know and yeah it's very majestic it's definitely something you don't want to wait because they pour just like hot espresso right on ice cream and it melts pretty quick so we're gonna just dive right on in starts off as a little ice cream sundae and then turns into a coffee milkshake oh wow that is so good I love it like I know they have that one ice cream little get a little thing in my beard there yeah I did I know they have the ice cream coffee at Animal Kingdom but this being espresso has a stronger coffee taste to it and I love it after spooning around with it for a little bit I think I'm gonna switch to a straw switch to a strong kind of sip on it and plus this way maybe my beard won't be hanging inside some ice cream whoa that's good honestly a spoon does not deserve to be in this because after the ice cream melts just a little bit it turns into a delicious like hot cold beverage it's so good though and the espresso is the perfect little pick me up that I need right now like I said much needed energy so that we can make our way down to Pixar PR to go on the Mickey fun wheel also known as the Mickey death wheel if you guys aren't familiar with what I'm talking about the big gigantic Ferris wheel with Mickey's face on it over by Pixar PR now this is not your like ordinary Ferris wheel it's an extraordinary Ferris wheel and it used to be called Mickey's fun wheel I think it's Pixar something I don't know what it is now but it is a very fun thrilling ride oh but before we make our way over there Spider-Man show is gonna happen in a second and I want to see him do that big swing that was so cool I have seen that Spider-Man show before like on video but seeing it in real life is definitely way more impressive like that was really really cool and I love that I'm glad that we got to catch that because it doesn't it just like goes randomly through the day I know that there's timings for it but I was never able to catch it but I was first here so that was nice now now it's time for Mickey's fun wheel right there that's what I'm talking about as you can see the carts aren't stationary they actually swing so they're like on a circle so it's a big circle with a circle individual and the carts it's it's pretty wild and it's actually very terrifying as we make our way down to Pixar here I want to remind you guys that the Disneyland resort actually has more attraction than the Walt Disney World Resort like I know that's so hard because there's two parts here four parts there but they have a lot of smaller like smaller attractions for families and I kind of like that like you got the inside out emotional whirlwind it's a little fun kid ride and it's an adult problem emotional whirlwind adult problem I think I think you guys know where I was going with that and we have made it over to the fun wheel and look at those carts rocking like that oh we're going for it though we're all in this doesn't have lightning lane but I think it's only like a 20 minute wait they do give you an option though some carts don't swing some do of course we're doing the swinging ones I ended up in the Wally one this is the Wally one and I'm terrified there we go oh boy oh boy we're going up we're raising up I think we're going to slide that way right oh yeah we're sliding oh boy no no no no oh boy they don't really give me anything to hold on to I'm going to break my finger by sticking it in here like this oh and it only gets worse I can imagine it's kind of like a very peaceful rocking chair like as you like settle down a little bit but I'm sure like as you get to the top it's going to be a little bit more wild I think we're making it almost at the top oh yep look right there's the Mickey yep this is going to be the bath part oh boy my lanta like this isn't like really gentle I'm not even playing oh boy oh wait we didn't even start the ride that was just a loading process that was just the loading like them loading the other gondola so now we're going to make like a full loop without stopping on it I think yeah here we go oh yep oh boy oh my what oh holy moly alright we hit our point right here it's not over no not all good look at this we are back on the ground here safely oh boy even walking out of this things a little little wow that is way more intense than you guys can actually imagine and there's no harness no seatbelts no nothing you don't have nothing to hang on to but I loved it I kind of love the Pixar Pier area they have a lot of fun little games and they even have a Toy Story Mania everything themed Pixar and you guys already know I love the Incredicoster so I don't know this is a fun little land I like how everything is themed like I said Pixar so here is a hot dog stand and it's the angry dogs and they sell hot dogs like slightly annoyed dog an angry dog like slightly annoyed dog doesn't that sound so funny now we're actually gonna head and meet up with some friends some familiar friends who just happened to be over in Disneyland the same time that I'm in Disneyland and I think we're gonna try to do the lamplight lounge we're gonna try to get a walk up reservation but it's really cool running into you know friends from back home here it's really interesting here it is the lamplight lounge we're making our way in now wow it looks so cool in here I like it oh look lamplight lounge right there on the ground very fancy I'm not too sure if we're gonna be dining outside or inside but I like it look at this view as we make our way downstairs it only gets better oh wow I like it a lot here oh and here are my friends from back home promise and Travis yeah isn't that crazy and it's your honeymoon yep and I'm here I'm the third wheel on the honeymoon yeah that's the way and we're gonna enjoy lamplight I'm pumped I actually like the fact that we're dining outside it's a beautiful day we get to watch the Incredicoster fly back and forth and stare at the Mickey fun wheel like this is really cozy cozy little spot here is a look at the menu they got some really interesting drinks in here and also I hear that they have like some secret menu drinks they have a falling with style these are non-alcoholic beverages oh the winds getting the best of me there we go the last ward nectar in the rye I'm not too sure which one we're gonna get but they also have small bites or they have bites and bigger bites so I'm thinking about maybe getting a Kung Pao Baobun that looks really good or they have lobster nachos a cheddar burger ooh the possibilities are endless a little section over here opened up by the water so we asked if we can come over because look at this view wow wait a second look at this oh this is too good much too good right yeah so three's company here is the secret menu drink it's the fun wheel and it's a layered drink and it's got the blue carousel and it's got the passion fruit exfusion with pineapple juice so kind of like a magical star cocktail but it looks so pretty cheers cheers and then for food I ended up getting the Kung Pao Baobun look at this little Kung Pao with pork belly these look actually amazing what a good combination everything's very colorful maybe because you know the view but I just like it I like being here now we're gonna dive into the Baobun so look at this they look so good alright first bite wow these are actually amazing and I get you get three of them and I think it's $21 so it's definitely worth it and I like that pork belly good texture as pretty as this fun wheel drink is you have to mix it you got it you got it you got to destroy the prettiness I'm gonna ruin the magic oh but it was pretty to do that oh my lanta I didn't even think of that I was just drinking the liquor from the top there but that's why you do it make it a fun wheel wow that did not even cross my mind but that makes sense it's called a fun wheel because you got to mix it around to make it taste good I could spend hours exactly where we are right now this is so magical like just sit here drinking and just staring out at Pixar pier it's beautiful breathtaking actually I think since we're still kind of just enjoying our time down here maybe we'll order one more drink but not off the secret menu off like the regular menu and make it a little fancy a little fancy drink the black pearl fancy oh boy and here comes me and promises drink we're extra look at this the sequels all you want a picture of those go ahead look at Travis getting the shots getting the shots so fancy look in this little bubbly cocktail is absolute citron vodka Bacardi passion fruit fresh lime juice and agave nectar and it is it it's definitely strong all the drinks so far here have been pretty potent very strong they give you the tingles right yeah I mean who this drink right here though I think I like the the fun wheel drink a little bit better it was actually a little refreshing this one is just straight like liquor very very potent like I said but that's how Disneyland does it and we're not shy and away from it all done we're gonna have to head out though but it's really hard to say goodbye to this view like it's it's it's just so perfect being over here honestly look at the restroom sign it's the uphouse and I also like all of the different things from Pixar I'm watching you was out ski always watching squirrel adventure is out there take her to the moon for me now there's one more ride that I've been wanting to do but I've been waiting to do because there's a good chance is we're gonna get wet and that is grizzly river rapids I figured I'd wait till the end because I'm gonna go back to the hotel I'm gonna change and you know what I mean kind of like you know charge up the batteries because it's not like I'm a local I'm like on vacation mode so I figured at the end of the day we're gonna wait and we're gonna do grizzly river run and the time is now it's time hopefully I don't get so kind of like Cali River Rapids but I mean I think it is I don't know I haven't watched any videos but it looks like it is here it is grizzly peak recreation area and like I said it kind of just looks like Cali River Rapids the way that it got everything rolling up and there's the vehicles so we're going for it all right it is time we're boarding the grizzly bear river run look at this grizzly river rafting company welcomes you you will get wet you may get soaked I'm so excited for this oh look at the grizzly up top there I stopped in the store and grabbed myself a little plastic bag so we should be good with the camera when we get to the point where we might get wet I'm just gonna just like that looks like I'm hopping on orange 23 all right we're on our way now a nice scenic boat ride through the redwoods that's so pretty oh look there's the there's the bear them on their like this this is a big drop here oh no I think we're coming up in a big drop and I'm going down it backwards oh no the river rapids I'm getting soaked in so many different places getting on my shoulder in my legs wait that wasn't the drop before there's another big drop there's actually another drop here oh my lord oh it's gonna be you oh no except my destiny here I am a big mess right now I don't know if you guys can tell but I am soaked I am definitely a soggy bottom boy today it's a little bit later in the evening earlier I was at California Adventure so I went home and recharge my batteries and then I said you know what I kind of want to go to Disneyland tonight so I decided to hop back on over we're gonna ride some rides eat some food and just enjoy an evening at Disneyland I have been enjoying my vacation so much every day is just pure happiness for me and like I said I was at California Adventure earlier this morning and I went home and I was just like you know what I just can't stay here I have to go back out I got to go to Disneyland it's not like super late it's 5 30 and the park is open till midnight so I'm sure we're just still gonna get like a lot done but one of the main things I wanted to do was ride Space Mountain and I was able to get a lightning lane reservation for that and just kind of just wander around and just take it all in you know I think we're gonna head straight on over to Tomorrowland because like I said I have a space mountain reservation but I would actually like to ride the astral orbiter and also walk through Sleeping Beauty Castle because that's something cool that you can do here not in Orlando you can actually walk through the castle in fact why I think about it I think we should head there to Sleeping Beauty Castle and actually explore that first because I don't know if that closes early and we have a little time before Space Mountain and like I said you can actually walk through it I mean I know you can walk through like Cinderella Castle but this one you can actually walk through and explore and I love that look at that the door is open so we get to just go right on in here this is so cool I love it it tells the story of Sleeping Beauty in here I really love this this is so cool I kind of want to just stop and look at everything when we first walked in we went up a flight of steps and now we're going up another flight of steps like I said we're really going up and through the castle Maleficent summoned all the demons from her castle to prevent Prince Philip from reaching the princess there she is be an evil oh my god look how creepy that is did you see that wait one more time I'm just gonna sit here and wait it kind of scared me a little bit and now we're making our way back out the end that was such a magical journey wasn't it we literally walked from one side to the other side that is that is so cool to me that is really cool that you can actually explore through Sleeping Beauty Castle but nothing's ever going to top walking down Main Street and staring at Cinderella Castle for me like that's always gonna be like the most magical castle for me because that's the one I first saw but it's still pretty impressive especially considering the fact that you go in that door and then you literally make your way up to flights of steps so you're up in this part of the section right here and then come out over here that's actually a really amazing journey okay but now it is Space Mountain time now we're heading to Space Mountain Wow look at this view so like honestly it's really amazing the Space Mountain queue itself okay I'm sold I really really like Space Mountain here in Disneyland look at this queue what I love it look at this all right we're about to board we're not gonna see much because it's probably really dark in there but know that I'm gonna be either laughing really loud or screaming all right here it is haha oh man that was amazing ah I want to go again I want to go again that was so awesome and I get to show you guys so much more on that ride I love it oh well this is a quite the sight to see Mulan and the evil queen together that's so cool I'm the most beautiful you are your mirror has a mustache mustache no no no yes very well thank you that's really cool so literally it's like Mulan right here oh I'm sorry one oh yes a cannon yes with a mustache yeah oh she's good she's good wait a second our marvelous shirt on right here marvelous huh how cool was that literally the evil queen and Mulan making puns about my camera look I can't even make that I can't even make that up now we're gonna make our way over to the French market because I want to get some jambalaya and then also maybe a Mickey Benye or two you know I feel like those are really something I've been wanting to get since I've been here and also look at it back here isn't so pretty this is really cute I've already had the gumbo in the bread bowl but now I need to get the jambalaya I'm a big jambalaya fan and plus I want to get Mickey Benye's because I feel like that's a must-do and wow look at this sunset happening right now it is so beautiful out I love it all right here is the jambalaya look at this it looks amazing we got some chicken in there we got some sausage we got some shrimp all the works I cannot wait to dive into it I've already mobile ordered some Mickey Benye's to so those should be coming out shortly here we go one big bite definitely a little spice in there it has a little kick but I like that I like it and you know what it might do my nose some good because I'm a little congested right now because of the allergies so a little spice might kick things up a notch for me also I'm excited to get some Benye's they do have some cake batter Benye's but I think I just got with the classic ones even though I'm a little interested to see what the cake batter ones taste like and I don't know kind of a good combination Benye's and jambalaya all right enough for the jambalaya business let's get down to the Benye business look at this oh yeah perfect I like how they put them in a little bag to pull one out hopefully we don't get Benye just all on us and oh yeah that looks perfect I also got myself a mint a julep and we're gonna dive into the Benye's gonna pull this down so in that way we don't get sugar all over the table just on the bag and ears first mmm very good the Mickey Benye's are nice and airy and I like them I like them a lot I'm excited to try my first mint julep though because all I ever get is the frozen one at Casey's and this is like like just like a drink like almost like limeade oh wow that is way better than Casey's will the frozen one the frozen one super sweet this is just clean and refreshing like not too over sweet and a nice hint of mint this is this is really good well that was sensory overload everything from the jambalaya to the Benye's to the mint julep it was amazing I loved it and we spent so much time over here I lost my lightning lane it's a small world or we can actually make our way to the astro orbiter that'd be fun to ride and I think everyone's getting ready to watch the main street electrical parade oh yeah I got super crowded over here I think we're gonna do that oh looks like we're gonna get a surprise VIP viewing for the main street electrical parade thank you guys thank you 50 years ago a magical wow this is cool and I'm with my friends magic journey yeah with some VIP seating too fancy very fancy attention we're getting well that was a fun little magic moment there we were standing in front of sleeping beauty castle me and my friends magic journeys which you guys should check out their channel they have an amazing channel and we were standing there talking getting caught up and somebody came over a VIP tour guide and was like would you guys like to join us for a reserve viewing area for the main street electrical parade they had some empty seats in there that weren't taken so we got a little magic made it was like a magical moment and it was really cool it was awesome to hang out with some friends and just enjoy a great parade and like a special reserved area very very fancy now that we got to watch the main street electrical parade I think it's time we actually start making our way out but I do want to pop in the Emporium real quick and just do a little shopping around maybe browse maybe not buy anything maybe get a tons of stuff who knows look at how different this Emporium is I love it in here and look at all the mannequin displays that they have it is really so cool it's like old timey you know what I mean I love it I wanted to see if they had any like fancy spirit jerseys they have this Disneyland iridescent one kind of like the 50th anniversary but not because this isn't the 50th anniversary and then they have some cool like Disneyland resort jackets they have this orange one I like this marble one but it looks like they only have smalls and I already have the original black Disneyland one but I don't know do I need another spirit jersey just when you think my collections complete I end up with another spirit jersey as the spirit jersey goes on and I guess with that we are going to call it a night here we stayed all the way till park closed and I know that there's kind of gaps in between but I'm just kind of like hanging out talking to people taking it all in just enjoying Disneyland and it's amazing I am going to be so sad when I have to leave here it is so magical but I am going to be happy to go back to Disney World because that's so magical to me no matter what as long as I'm doing something I love in a place that I love it's going to be magical so I hope you guys enjoy the video I enjoyed making it we'll see you next time bye
