Wow Look at that. This is so epic This is almost just like the DVC the Disney Vacation Club Newer update of rooms except for I think they those ones have like a bigger kitchen area It's not even a kitchen area a better like Appliance area with like the fridge and stuff like that, but I am impressed big time here All of the other resorts except for the deluxe ones have like a regular Mr. Coffee Pop But here at the Grand Floridian nothing but the best they give you all the cake cups here the creamer Look how neat and organized that is I kind of want to take it home That would be nice. Oh Look you can see Mary Poppins right here. Look at that. She's in the wallpaper. Look at Bert's there, too Wow, I love that Mary Poppins is one of my favorite movies. So this is perfect even the umbrella. That's too cool The ceilings are definitely a little bit higher in here because you got the crown molding there the light fixtures These are the ones when the Disney Vacation Club the little penguins on there. Isn't that cool? I love all of it even the Lampshade here all Mary Poppins. I wonder if Mary and Bert are on this one, too Now just the just the umbrella still very cool fancy lights and that feels nice, too Oh, I get all excited about everything. These are gonna be the new Polynesian pillows right there very comfy four pillows, too. I Also love the bathroom because of all the gold trimming on here And then of course the Grand Floridian stamp on the toilet paper. Look at that much too cool We are so lucky that we got this room with the extra like living room area here I think that there's only like five of them in each building. I'm not too sure because this is like the round section I'll point it out when we go outside But I think there's literally only one on each floor unless they have another one on the other side But wow, this is so cool. I've never seen this before like I've stayed at the Grand Floridian many of times and I have Never been this lucky must be the wedding. Maybe we're in luck because of the wedding Look at that Sean show in the pullout bed now. It's not even a pullout bed It's just a flip down bed. So there's plenty of places to sleep get a bed there Yeah, you got a chair there you can put the coffee table up and spread your legs out two beds, you know underneath the bed Perfect extra space. There's a lot of room under here Now that we've gotten the room tour taking care of and I'm still in shock on how amazing that room is Time to head out and go get some brunch with some friends over at the Grand Floridian cafe Now it's time to make our way into the Grand Floridian cafe a little brunch The cast member that checked us in actually called it blanch blanch not brunch. So breakfast lunch blanch I mean, where did brunch ever come from and Here is a look at the brunch menu and it looks like they have a good mixture of breakfast and lunch And we've got steak and eggs the grand breakfast. Oh the grand breakfast Two eggs served with bacon sausage and cheesy hash brown casserole Then they got a ruben a buttermilk fried chicken and waffle the Grand Floridian cafe signature burger There's a lot going on here. I'm not too sure what I'm gonna get. Oh, they have the brioche french toast The oh, is that a gigantic Mickey shaped waffle like one of the big Mickey waffles because if that's so I might have to get it I wonder if I can get it with the chicken The best part of waking y'all is a Grand Floridian coffee And you can't have a Disney breakfast without having a pod juice I feel like this is an automatic order every time I come anywhere for Disney breakfast Oh and a spoon or two Spoon full of sugar makes the medicine go down I Can't pop the It messes your fingers I still I'm still I'm still traumatized from popping that one. There's a scar there now I'm leaving that in The biscuits have arrived and they only gave us five I'm pretty sure we're gonna be able to get some extra biscuits So I'm all about that and then they have citrus butter. Look at that fancy butter The butter actually has like orange peels inside of it there, that's it I Put it spread it right on there. Let's give this the biscuit test That's good biscuit The reason I got two spoons is because I ended up getting the soup of the day Because you know, I'm a big soup guy. You guys know I love soup But also because I've got the banana fosters oatmeal and it comes with a fresh baked Banana nut muffin and then I think this right here is like the fosters like milk or sauce. It smells like Like a dessert and it looks good even look at those bananas. They look caramelized like perfectly. This all looks amazing I'm ready to dive in Let's do I'm a big oatmeal fan, too So that's why I ended up ordering this it was ten dollars for the oatmeal And I think the soup was more expensive than the oatmeal actually Yeah, and you get way more with the oatmeal you get the muffin you get the whole bowl of oatmeal the bananas and I'm gonna dive in. I don't know what I should do with this though. I've never Like I don't know what to do. I like my oatmeal thick so I don't want to run it down a little bit You know what I mean? I don't know what to do. I'm gonna try a little bit Yeah, maybe I'll just do it like this Like that and then maybe a little bit like this. There we go We'll give it a go and see how it goes That's amazing that is really good Wow I Literally just take the muffin and put it right inside the oatmeal look at that It is so good. And then you know what you want to make it even better. Just add a little bit of this. Oh My lord I can eat I can actually I'm good after this so I ordered something else, but I should and I should just stick right to this The main event has arrived and it's the signature chicken and waffles Look at this. You get a gigantic Mickey waffle and then corn flakes breaded well corn flake breaded chicken Look at that. Oh my Lord You can literally see the corn flake breading on there and then there's a special honey sriracha glaze on there too Wow, look at that. Like I remember I was honey. You can see the corn flakes right there This looks phenomenal It does come with that sriracha honey sauce, but I feel I need to put some syrup on there Just a little bit not a lot just a little bit of syrup Just a little syrup whatever you do you don't want to drench it you don't want to add tons of syrup to it Just a little bit just to get enough that there's a least a little bit of syrup on every single bite not a lot just a little bit Just just a little not not much just a little And of course you got to go years first always Look at that. That's a big year or two. I actually I can't eat it alone I got to eat it with the one-two punch get a little bit of the chicken a little bit of the waffle Oh boy, it's falling the two for the two for one They definitely give you a lot of chicken like two full chicken breasts I would say 12 ounces maybe six and six that's a big meal usually with breakfast They don't put that much on there. So it's very filling and Mickey's huge and now he has no ears or a body Who can live life that way? Brunch was amazing and plenty of food now. I am stuffed and It's time to head back to the room Maybe go for a dip at the pool for a little bit Just kind of want to cool off because I know it's gonna be super hot once we get all dressed up So kind of just keep myself cool until then. You know what I mean? I'm gonna get dressed at the very last second like I mentioned we have the Fourth of July fireworks to look forward to tomorrow, which I'm gonna add all of that in one video today If I had more time though tomorrow I wouldn't mind renting one of these boats and just going out and hanging out on seven seas lagoon You know, that's one of my favorite things to do but today. I think we're gonna just spend some time at the pool We're gonna head out to the pool now But I wanted to show you the fancy swimming attire for this evening and then we're gonna come back and We're gonna get ready for the wedding might give you a nice little show of us getting ready for the wedding Getting ready for the big day, you know, look at this fancy. I got mine on We're going swimming at the Grand Floridian fancy Sitting by the pool drinking some brute. I was trying to get Some prosecco, but they didn't have any, you know, but cheers cheers to Brandon Cheers to Brandon and your Michael Eisner shirt This pool is the quiet pool and it's really awesome because you can see all of the hotel But on the other side over by the DVC building they have the main like the big pool and that one has a water slide We might hop over there later though Sipping on champagne at the pool Bubbly blessed Oh Seriously don't look at this view of the Grand Floridian from up here. What a beautiful day it is today.

You don't want to be all sweaty. We're about to go inside Disney's wedding pavilion. So the ladies get the treatment. That's the way that's how it should be Look at how beautiful this is.

And I don't know if they're going to pump out the music we're right here at the convention center, but um I don't know because they have a dj in there for the dance party.
