I think we should be back All the way I'll give any time Yes I have to like stop and process everything that just happened But I have to tell you right now this might be Maybe my new favorite attraction Like I am so happy And our song choice was Everybody wants to rule the world And I was like you gotta be kidding me So much But we're gonna settle down a little bit Then we're gonna discuss and I'm gonna give you like A little bit more details but I loved it so much That was seriously so amazing And like I said once we calm down a little bit Get our composure I'm gonna break it down Talk about a little bit of the Easter eggs And whether I like certain ride types Cause we rode it more than once So whether the front row, the back row It was just so cool But take a look at this view right here Isn't that breathtaking? Okay I think I got myself under control But that was amazing I rode it multiple times I got so many different songs Every time you ride it They give you a different song And I think there's a set list of like six different songs We got Disco Inferno And we've got Everybody Wants to Rule the World Which that one was my favorite Blondie was in there Like it was so amazing And I have to say I rode front and back both sides Cause there's two different tracks there And I loved the front It was so cool And if you wanna know about the restraints The restraints were so easy And accommodating I loved it It's not too much like on a thrill There's no loops There's no you know Inversions It's just really smooth And a lot of people compare it to like Rock and Roller Coaster Because of the dark factor And the launch sequence And also Space Mountain But it's just something on its own Like it is so good But the best thing to take away from it Is like how smooth it is Very, very smooth Like you almost feel weightless When you're actually gliding through Like you're gliding And yeah I think my mom can ride this ride And laugh about it But at the same time It's still thrilling And it's just great A lot of screens Very dark But the lighting Everything was amazing And I cannot wait to ride it again Like I will wait I will wait a long time To actually ride this ride And I'll be like that for a while And I'm sure As you guys know Disney announced they're gonna be using a virtual queue When the ride actually opens So like I'm gonna try my best It's gonna be like Rise of the Resistance Over and over again But if they do switch to the standby line I'd give it a good two Maybe three hour wait I liked it that much Alright Now that we got the Guardians business Taking care of I think it's time to head in The Connections eatery And eat some food I wanna try as much as possible And here's a look at the menu They got the French bistro burger A Southwestern burger Some chicken sandwiches The five cheese pizza I'm definitely getting a meatball pizza General soul chicken salad Some good items right here Wow This is my first time being over here And I like it It's a lot of space That's a good thing Because I feel like before Like in a lot of quick service locations Disney was always congested And it was very tiny But there was so much space now So people aren't really gummed together And I like it I decided to mobile order Because I thought it might have been faster But I really think if you just walk up in order It's a little bit quicker Because this one gives you a return time And my return time is not for another 20 minutes But I got a little bit of everything I got some meatball pizza I got the burger I got the waffle So it's gonna be good I'm gonna try a little bit of a little bit of vodall Oh wow They even have the fancy silverware here Look at this It might get a little bit of everything That is the way You know, they're pulling out all the stops When they got real silverware Holy moly I got a lot of food Like when you're ordering it You know, I mean you don't think But now I'm looking at it I'm like That's a lot of food. Now, all of this cost me $31 and I cannot wait to show you guys. First, we got the French bistro burger, then we got the meatball pizza, look how cheesy that is. Look at that cheese right there. And then we got the waffle. I've heard extraordinary things about the waffle. So, I don't know what I should start with first because I don't want that waffle to, you know, get cold. I think we're going to dive right on into the waffle first. Desserts first. That's what you could do when you're an adult. I just ran into some friends from Buffalo, New York and they gave me a challenge coin. Look at that. I love it. And they're dispatchers. So, that's really awesome. Thank you so much. Alright, let's dive into this waffle first. Oh, boy. I don't want to mess it up, but oh, that looks good. It's still soft. I can tell. I'm going to twist it. Twist it. That's the best way to break it off. Make sure we get a little bit of everything on there. Get some of that whipped cream, get some of that strawberry. Bada bing, bada boom. And in the morning, we're having waffles. Wow. That is so fluffy and airy. I love this. Yeah, like, so this was like a big hype. A lot of my friends told me right down Main Street, but this is like really good. Holy moly. I love when a quick service location has something that you feel like would be like served at like a signature restaurant. And that's how this waffle is like seriously. And it doesn't have to be a dessert. Technically, we're having breakfast first before we eat our lunch and it's brunch. And just think of the possibilities because they can have like seasonal different waffles like pumpkin waffles for Halloween and then peppermint waffles. I don't know if that mixes well, but there's a lot of good possibilities here. Enough of the waffle business, though. Let's head on over to the pizza and look at these plates. I really like the plates. It's kind of cool. I'm going to see if we can pick this up and maybe do a fold. I don't know. Doesn't look like it has a strong undercarriage here. Oh yeah, not so strong at all. In fact, I might just eat a meatball. I might just have a meatball on its own. One meatball. We got to try the meatball on its own. You don't get meatball. Okay, now that we got that meatball taken care of, because it was hanging off and I felt like if I was going to like fold it and bite it, it probably would have fell. So I think we're clear for a lift off. When the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie. Look, I'm going to hold a fork for the back end here. Oh boy, here we go. Now, it's a good pizza offering for quick service, but I mean, if you're an Epcot, I would rather go get Viannapoli or from the pizza window and maybe Pizza Rizzo. I don't know. I mean, it's good. I like the meatballs. The crust is really good, too. But I don't know. There's just something about it. I mean, it just tastes like meat. It's very soft, very like thick, like thick crust. But yeah, I don't know. I mean, it's okay. I would get it, you know, I mean, if I wanted some pizza for quick service, but I wouldn't like say it's the best pizza in the world. Now let's get to the French bistro burger. And I've been snacking on the French fries. And those are phenomenal. I think there's a special seasoning on it here. But I like the French fries a lot. I'll tell you one thing about the burger, though. They definitely don't skip on the bacon. It looks like there's like four pieces of bacon on there. And I'm excited. I didn't get the cheese mayonnaise. I'm not the biggest mayonnaise fan, but we're just gonna try it like it is. It's a good burger. For real, this is a good burger, especially coming from a quick service. Like a lot of times I hear people talking about the food and like kind of like putting it at a level of like sit down with dining prices. Like I said, this is almost two meals and a dessert for $31. That's amazing. And for quick services, way better than cosmic rays. You know what I mean? It's way better than the burger. Probably that was that electric umbrella. I'll be honest. I have to be honest, a lot of everything. The waffle just keeps me coming back for more keeps me coming back for more. Baby, you're all that I want. With your whipped cream and strawberries. Now that we've got done eating and connections eatery, which I got to say, like I said, the waffle was my favorite, then probably the burger and then the pizza. But I do want to try the general sauce chicken salad. I think we'll just hop over to Connections Cafe so I can show you what the Starbucks is like. I know that it's probably been out for a while, but I still want to give you a pizza. You know, and I want to take a look. Literally, we were sitting right there for Connections Eatery. And now right over here is Connections Cafe. And I love how you can watch them actually prepare things. Isn't that so cool? I like it. I don't even know what they're making there. Probably croissant? A croissant? What are you making? What's that? Good stuff. Oh yeah, it's very nice. Oh, fancy. Oh, thank you. I don't think she can hear me. But here is the Connections Cafe, the Starbucks. The new Starby's here. I like it. Lots of room. Lots of room. Now that we got to check out the Connections Cafe in Eatery, let's make our way into World Showcase and just explore around a little bit. It's a beautiful day. It's a beautiful day. I got to ride Guardians of the Galaxy. All is well in the world. I do need to stop for a second and just look out at this beautiful view. Look at this. Man, I love Epcot. That is so amazing, isn't it? It's like a waterway going right to Spaceship Earth. Actually, but it's not. But from this angle, it looks like it. And I just love it. Now that we made it into World Showcase, I wanted to stop at the refreshment port and get the Lavender Martini. Vodka with lavender and lemon. And I seen someone walking around with it and it looks so refreshing. And it being a hot day, I think it's a good idea. Like a nice, nice lavender, icy cold beverage. Sounds perfect. The funny thing about this lavender martini is, I don't know if you guys remember, maybe like two or three food festivals ago. I ate lavender and it was the worst thing that I've ever eaten before. I guess I'm gonna try it now. No. No. Oh. Beth, you can have my lavender. Just give it a bite. I think it's more for smelling. You don't like that. You're kidding. No. Cheers to our lavender martini. Yeah, after we ate it. Oh yeah, that's very refreshing. A little bit strong. Yeah. There was a squirrel. I'm not gonna hurt you, but it seems like you're trying to steal my lavender martini here. Right? Look, it came up right here. Or my phone or something. That is not the same squirrel. Hi. I know that's just not the same squirrel because this guy's still right here. Oh, now they're coming together. Why do squirrels suddenly appear every time? The coast is clear. The squirrels are gone. Now the birds have come out. Honestly, like there's no food here even. Look at this guy. Look at this dude. Now that we've had fun story time with squirrels and birds, I think we're gonna make our way back out to the front of the park. Maybe a quick trip on figment. Oh, also cookie butter, worms, and dirt. That looks really good. I don't think I can handle it though. It's so funny. We go from a Guardians of the Galaxy, which is basically going to be a standout attraction here at Epcot to the next standout attraction journey into imagination with figment. I love it. I am so excited to get out of the sun and it's actually Mike's second time riding figment, right? Number two. Number two. Tell me about your first one. You know, you get off a ride like figments and you kind of wonder what just happened to me. What just happened to me? Dr. Nigel Channing. What just happened to me? Seriously, this is one of my favorite rides that actually come and cool down. Like, it's an okay ride. It's fun. Everyone loves figment, but it's great to get out of the heat. The AC is always good and there's never a wait. We walked right in. Bye. Welcome. Welcome to our special drive-thru open house. I'm Dr. Nigel Channing, Chairman of the Imagination Institute. Hello. On your tour, you'll see how the five human senses can help capture your imagination. Whoa. Who is this? It's figment. Figment? I thought I told you not to interfere. But you've got it wrong, Doc. It's not about listening with your ears. It's about listening with your imagination. Now I'm continuing now with my many and a calm, scientific figment-free manner. The things we see with our eyes can control the eyes of the imagination. But let's begin by using the eye chart to test your vision. Now, I'm imagining what's best when it's so free. I hope that you get like a vanilla scent this time. What's up? Would you get a skunk last time? Or the grass one is good. Jasmine, orange, anything. It's going to play. I will love to. This is not a good time. It's all a good time to use your imagination. So let the good times roll. It's a skunk again. Give it to me. Thank you really. And now that we got off the ride, maybe we'll catch vanilla bee coming out of the link chamber. Oh, look it. I think it's happening. There she comes. That's awesome. Nice. Have fun Joey. Bye. Figment always cools me down. I love going for a ride. And it is so hot out today. I'm not even sure how hot it is. I gotta check the temperature. Usually I just Google the temperature. Let's see. What is the temperature in Walt Disney World? 93. 93 degrees out. Holy moly. And I feel it. But I think we're going to make our way back out to the front of the park. Maybe cut through creations and see if they end up getting a good new merchandise. And I don't know. Take it from there. I'm always on the hunt for a new Spirit Jersey. And I'm actively looking for the Main Street Electrical Parade Spirit Jersey. I don't even know if they exist. I just heard that they couldn't drop them for the debut at Disneyland. And I hear Disney World's been getting some of it. So I'm going to keep looking. You never know. Well, I see tons of Main Street Electrical Parade stuff. They have the ears, they have the wishables, and they even have this shirt right here. But no Spirit Jersey yet. But the shirt is nice. Look at that Mickey on there. Isn't that cool? But not on the Spirit Jerseys. So hopefully we'll keep our eye out. Well, now we made our way back out. And I think we're going to call it a day. It is a very, very hot day. And I had so much fun riding Guardians of the Galaxy. We rode it multiple times. And when we were initially in there, it actually went down. So we were stuck in the queue for two hours. But it was worth the wait. And I loved it. And also the food at Connections Eatery. It was great to try everything. And just be back at Epcot. Let me know what you guys think of the ride. And yeah, just give me my opinions about it. I think it's a very smooth roller coaster. No big drops. A couple of launches. Some screens. So you might have some motion sickness if you don't like stuff like that. But it's not like 3D screens. It's dark in there. So it won't affect your eyes too much. And yeah, I don't know, the best way to compare it to, I think, is if Slinky Dog Dash was indoors and it was just some amazing music in the dark. Like, that's how I, that's my fair assessment. So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye!
