 Hey friends today, we're hanging out at Epcot and Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind officially opened today So I wanted to come out and ride it and show you guys how you join a virtual queue or how you purchase lightning lanes And just have a beautiful Epcot kind of day any hoos Let's go do this. I Brought with me today my universe of energy patch from the costumes from the old attraction where Guardians of the Galaxy is And I brought it with me as kind of a little like lucky charm in joining the virtual queues So hopefully we'll see how it goes. I already have a lightning lane to ride Guardians of the Galaxy So we're definitely riding it, but I'm going to try to join the 1 p.m. Boarding group. I Want to give you guys a quick rundown on how the virtual queues and the lightning lanes work The virtual queues have two different distribution times one at 7 a.m One at 1 p.m. If you want to buy a lightning lane You have to be a resort guest to get it at 7 a.m If not you can buy a lightning lane at 9 a.m Once you get in the park and it's really hard to get both a Lightning lane in the morning and a 7 a.m. Boarding group So be prepared to make a choice like if you're going to go for 7 a.m And you are a resort guest you have to decide whether you're going for a lightning lane Or if you're going for the boarding groups because with the virtual queues because they're going to sell out so fast But you can get a lightning lane at 7 a.m Or even at 9 a.m When you walk in the park and still join the boarding groups at 1 o'clock Which is what we are going to attempt to do today Looks like they're selling Guardians of the Galaxy cosmic rerun merch inside the creation shop today Along with inside treasures of Xandar so that's good to know that it's not all just inside treasures of Xandar Now I know that the line to actually get into the gift shop at the attraction is probably over an hour wait It's really good to know that they're selling the merch in two different spots We definitely want to check that out I hear they're selling low key scepter and that's one thing I just need to get like I need to get low key scepter So we're gonna ride the ride first We're gonna head on over there first and then we're gonna see about the merch and then time it for 1 o'clock So we can try to join the virtual queue and I'm gonna do it on video like I'm gonna set my phone down set My camera down and try to join the virtual queue in real time to show you guys Here is the line to actually get the merchandise the wonders of Xandar shop isn't open yet And the only place that you can get the merch is actually here at creations and looks like it's just about an hour wait They said Rumor has it I can is actually back if you remember I can is a robot that used to patrol around tomorrow In the magic kingdom and I hear he's back out for the opening of the wonders of Xandar And I'm excited to see him because he's a little star key Wow take a look at this You look great Oh Continue your you're wonderful amazing beautiful out of this world Yes, yes, yes It was exceptional I Is I can was hysterical I loved it so cool now we're actually gonna use our lightning lane We're gonna go through I'm wearing my galactic star cruiser magic band and then once we get off the ride I'm gonna show you guys the different virtual queue offerings and like I said We're gonna do the 1 p.m. Boarding group like live on camera One thing that I noticed a lot of people are just kind of waiting over here for their virtual Queue return time and it's not the best spot to actually come and just relax There's no shade at all. They actually have these little umbrellas right here But look they're actually all taken up because like that's the only shade that you'll get it is very very hot out I wish they had a little bit of coverage somewhere, but I'm really not seeing anything And I'm joining up with my friends Beth and Mike villains and vice Are you guys ready for Guardians of the Galaxy? Yeah, yeah, I know it's so excited, right? It's gonna be a fun day Opening day. We're making history today They knew they needed us they knew they needed us Tapping tap tap tap look at that Now giving you guys the warning here lots of spoilers ahead from our world to yours. We're gonna show everything The lightning lane brings you right up to the pre-show area right here And like I said, it was no wait and it doesn't look like there's a wait for the virtual queue side either So that's all that's like good news because if you join the virtual queue, you don't want to wait in line Citizens of Epcot, does anyone know what they call themselves? I Looks like there's a little bit of a line as soon as you get out of the pre-show and this is it right here That's not too bad at all. I thought it was gonna be such longer lines. So you think Mike, right? I thought so too I'm actually really hoping that we get everybody wants to rule the world that was my favorite song to ride with now You do get an choice of six different songs not a choice a random selection and Everyone's got their favorite. So let me know which one is your favorite I'll put a pin comment with all of the songs on the playlist so you guys can choose Here it comes our chariot. I'm so excited I Love that ride it is so much fun Like I still get giddy whenever I ride it and I'm gonna be that way for a while and just the Anticipation and excitement to get whatever song like you know what I mean to randomly get a song and then when you get there You're like, yes, or some people probably be like, uh-huh because they didn't get the song that they wanted and it is so smooth And when I say the ride is smooth I'm talking like when you compare it to like big Thunder Mountain or Space Mountain or Expedition Everest how you kind of get like pushed around in the cart and it feels like a rough ride This one you kind of just feel like you're floating. You know I mean you don't get slammed against anything or anything like that and Some people can't get motion sickness though I do want to point that out like some people can't get motion sickness It doesn't turn you and spin like this. It just goes with the turn and I love it But I am so excited and I hope we get to do it again Like we're gonna try for that one o'clock boarding group fingers crossed. I think we can do it. I believe I believe If you guys want to join a virtual queue you go into your my Disney experience app You select a virtual queue you join virtual queue And then you just keep on hitting the refresh button until it's one o'clock the refresh button is down here below And that's all you got to do just keep on hitting refresh refresh until it's that moment I'm pretty sure I'm not gonna get it because I feel like I always I'm not good at the one o'clock boarding groups I'm not good at any of the boarding groups and I've done this before at Rise of the Resistance I remember when I first went to the park for Rise of the Resistance it'd be like 6 a.m I'm at Hollywood Studios. I'd walk in the park and I'd go to get it and then I wouldn't Secure a boarding group and then I would just leave and go home and go back to bed That was my life and I've done that many occasions. So at least you could do it here. I Don't know when I should do now some people use it where you can actually get the second counter But I'm just gonna do it off of my clock in the top there and just keep on hitting refresh As it gets closer It's gonna keep on doing I'm gonna start doing it now like I'm gonna do it like right now and just keep doing it It might take a while I'll cut right to the point where it happens, so we'll find out One oh no done. Whoo. I got it That's the way look at that boarding group 175 oh Guardians of the Galaxy Look at that. They're full already. They just made an announcement that they're full. Holy moly. Holy moly Look at the groups here. Everyone's like yes. I got it. We got it. Yeah That's crazy isn't it Wow How crazy is that my heart was pounding like it was like going like crazy It's a very tense moment and I got boarding group 70 or 175 I got boarding group 175 right now. They're boarding group 79 to 98 So it's a 280 minute wait, but I got it I got it and like I can't believe the loudspeaker came on immediately afterwards and was just like they're gone for the day They're gone. It's done. So that's crazy. What a moment The anxiety though It's a struggle Now that we've gotten our 1 p.m. Boarding group secured I think it's time to hop in line and see some of the new Guardians of the Galaxy cosmic rerun merchandise I don't know if the store or the shop at the attraction opened up yet, but might as well hop in line here It doesn't look too long at this point. I bet you will probably get in there within like 20 minutes Well the way to actually get into creations was honestly only 10 minutes and it looks like they have everything And it is way in the afternoon like it's like almost 2 o'clock. So I'm shocked like nothing is sold out They have two different sides They have this side over here and then they have everything over on that side and this side I think we're gonna start with because there's less people over here and oh wow, there's a lot of stuff I see already that I love look at this Loki scepter with the mind stone in it. That's $119 the power storm the power stone orb That's $99 the ether. I think they have every single one of them actually They do they have every single and fun infinity stone. That is so nifty a nice Star Lord jacket Oh, this this actually this is like really nice. The material is very good. I don't know how much this is though Oh 99 99 Take a look at this they have some patches down here for like the Guardians of the galaxy and then Down here they have an I am group one, but nothing beats the universe of energy I feel like I need to get this patch just so I can have it matching. How awesome is that that? I knew to bring this patch with me today The patches themselves are only 999, so I think I'm definitely gonna get it I'm gonna get it my hat's a little crooked, but I have to now you actually get six stones Really? Which is only available through the continent you can't get it any other way Wow You can buy the stones on their own, but not the soul that is so crazy So I just found out that all of the infinity stones are actually powering something there They're interchangeable kind of like something at galaxy's edge like low key staff you can switch out the stones in there, too What right now we have the mind stone, but you could easily put the space stone inside of it You could put and it changes colors So it will change some of the effects that you see as well as the sounds and the vibrations Wow And if you buy the gauntlet then you get all the infinity stones Including the soul stone, which is the only way you can get that one. I feel like I might get the gauntlet You sold me So that is really cool So that's what you have to do you have to get the gauntlet it comes with all of the stones And it's a hundred dollars and you can choose between Iron man or Thanos's one I think I would go with the original gauntlet. You know what I mean the gold one and that's so amazing Like I didn't know they were interchangeable. It's kind of a big game changer It's like adding a little bit of Star Wars lightsaber lore into Epcotians Epcot Terrans I kind of really love this guardians light up sign though hundred and fifty dollars for this that is so wicked cool Man, I would love to hang that up in my house and then they have tons of different home goods here They have some coffee mug some coasters. Look at the coasters right here But I just keep on thinking about that light up sign that is so cool-looking and Then of course they have the guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind annual pass holder Opening day shirt, so it has the tape for 527 2022, which is today that one's a cool one This is just for annual pass holders. They also have another dated one that's available for everybody I don't know if I like the gray one, but at least I like the cassette tape and Then here is the guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind short This is just a regular black one. I kind of like this one a little bit better like these ones are nice I don't know how much it is too. Oh wait. Here's a price tag 3699. Look at that Well, as you can see lots of cool merchandise. I love what they're doing with the infinity stones I think that's such a cool concept and I didn't know anything about that until just now I also like that light up sign, but it's a hundred fifty dollars and I don't want to carry it around with me It comes in a gigantic big box So fingers crossed that they're gonna still be in stock when I get to come here and just kind of walk around and Enjoy and then that way I can take it out to the car and stuff But now I think we're gonna actually head to space I think we're gonna go to space 220 and eat at the lounge and kind of just relax until it's time for our boarding group It says it's only like 80 minutes away And I couldn't think of a better place to go to kind of just kill some time then back up to space before we go To space like isn't that crazy? So we're gonna go from space right to space and like I said as soon as we get done eating here It'll probably be time for us to go ride our second turn at Guardians of the Galaxy for the day. I'm excited This has been a space-filled fun day. I Love space 220 so much. It's all about the theming in here. It's the atmosphere just sitting down floating in space It's so crazy. I love it. And like I said kind of fits in perfect with what we're doing today Welcome aboard this elevator In just a few moments, you'll be on your way up to space 220 aboard this entire space station Enjoy the ride. Is this everybody's first ship up to space 220? You're riding aboard the Mark 5 Skelevator the latest in space elevator design and technology Today Look there's spaceship Earth Actually back up in space. I told you guys we were coming to here for the lounge So we don't actually have to get the prefix meal We can order things all of cards and drinks too. And one of the things I've really been wanting to try is the chicken and waffles So we're gonna look at the menu. I think I'm gonna get the chicken and waffles and then maybe a fancy drink Maybe a fancy pop rock drink Now just because we're in the lounge doesn't mean you can't get the prefix if you get a lounge reservation They'll actually get you the full menu too if you want So you basically have free reign to do whatever you want order drinks order lunch items order dinner I mean, you can just do it all Might as well. Hey The world is your oyster Exactly It's really cool. My drink comes with a little space ice cream and I'm gonna try it first I'm gonna try the space ice cream It's funny because it's like Dehydrated I think that's what they do with it. I'm gonna bite it It's good It's definitely strange. I wonder if I just leave it in there or soak it in the alcohol That might make it a little bit better. There we go. I'm gonna dunk it like this I'm gonna rehydrate my food while I dehydrate and drink the alcohol Guys now we're gonna go from space ice cream to Space chicken and waffles and this looks so good. Doesn't it? Holy moly I love the slaw and the sauce. Oh, and then we got some more coming in some cauliflower And also, I think we've got the calamari The calamari. Got a buffet going here. I know I like it Also, I don't think I talked about my drink, but the drink is actually good the big the tang I do like it a lot. It's got a good mixture to it I definitely think you have to mix it a little bit more Because I did sip right off the top after having ice cream sandwich and all I got was the The tequila I think so mix it around a little bit We're gonna cut right on in here I'm gonna cut right down the center It's like the perfect bite a little bit of everything on one bite. You guys know how I do it There we go All right, here we go little chicken and waffle action I seriously like that a lot. I like the sauce this little maple syrup sauce here so good I'm gonna try the cauliflower now, and I don't like cauliflower usually so I don't have high expectation, but I'm gonna I'm gonna go for it I don't think I'm gonna like this at all, but I'm gonna still go for it because you gotta try so here we go Like he likes it. I like it It's so funny because I really didn't think I was gonna like the cauliflower Like I was so hesitant and I had it before like cauliflower itself It's like something I would like but it's like the breading and I think if they have any sauce on it That's why I'm so nervous, but it was great It was just perfect the way it is and I highly recommend the chicken and waffle Like I like a lot of the food on the lounge menu probably better than the dinner menu like Like this is actually really really good Well our time and space has come to an end so we need to embark back down to Epcot and then Transport to another like space setting like isn't that crazy? Yeah, like it's crazy Now that we're all done with space through 20. I want to point out I don't know if you guys noticed but I did a little hat change I ran into some friends and they brought me a nice little fedora So I decided to wear it a little bit because I love it so much It's a nightmare before christmas one and it's from the parks I think they said it was from disneyland paris But I wanted to put it out so I was wearing it space through 20 And I was like I wonder if anyone's gonna notice my hat changed without me telling them Like you know what I mean? I wanted to do it and it was fun and now Let's kind of see how much longer our uh boarding group is Looks like they are boarding groups 135 to 151 we are 175 so an estimated 95 minutes I am grouped I like how they have that on the top there so 95 more minutes not too shabby I'm really shocked and happy with how this day turned out. I thought it was going to be chaos I didn't come early early in the morning because I knew I had that lightning lane and uh, I kind of liked it I came in just slow and steady and it's been really calm and relaxing And just like that they called our boarding group. So it's time to go ride again. I'm so excited I hope we get a different song like I mean, I think everybody wants to get all the songs And I'm pretty sure I got them all either between cast member Family and friends previews the preview that I had and now I think I successfully had all of them And my favorite is still uh, everybody wants to rule the world. I think it's just such a great song and it fits perfectly Just look at all the groups of people just waiting around for their group to get called Just casually waiting and waiting Gives me the rise of the resistance feelings. This is how the virtual queue is now. I feel like this is Uh, probably on par with rise of the resistance. I mean remy's rata 2 adventure is nothing compared to this and uh rise So, I mean holy moly. There's a lot of people over here I know that there's a lot of people that talk about whether or not Guardians of the galaxy belong in ebcot, but I have to say like the idea of space I feel like it's always been an ebcot if you look at spaceship birth Once you actually get done with the ride or the last scene of spaceship birth is you're in space looking down on earth So like I'm very excited like that there is space theming and everything like that And I think it's a fun ride ebcot needed a roller coaster Just as I was about to open up it looks like they opened Just as I was about to actually get ready to go ride. It looks like they opened up treasures of zandar So I think we're gonna hop in line to check it out Take a look at this treasures of zandar Greetings Wow They even have little yandu displays over here. Look at this I love it in here a little bit more. I think it's just a little bit funner This is really cool. Most of the merchandise is the stuff that I already saw it like I showed you But it just looks better in here So much for your delight. Please feel free to look around Thank you kind of gives me the back to the future vibes and he agrees Oh, I like that. Wow Yeah, that is so awesome. That's a cool little back. Thank you so much One of the things I didn't see over in creations was this little fleece throw here That's kind of cool guardians of the galaxy and then also the little fanny pack I like this and I like this strap too. I actually ah man I am a fanny pack enthusiast. Oh, they even have a little pinball game. What I didn't see this There's a lot of great things in here. Oh, this is too cool This is 1499. Wait, how much is the tape? What is this? Oh, this is sticky notes Guardians of the galaxy sticky notes funny So that is really awesome. I wasn't expecting the shop to open up and then it did well So that's really I'm glad that we waited around now. It's time to actually go and ride. We're gonna ride again It definitely looks like the virtual queue line got a little bit longer Guardians of the gods Looks like it's backed up a little bit more here. We're kind of at a standstill We are at a cosmic rewind standstill It looks like they're only loading one side and this one is just kind of sitting over here. Look at that It's a sleepy god, uh cosmic rewind a sleepy cosmic rewind Oh now they're opening up the other side that was a big setback right there A lot of people might like the back a little bit more because it does switch Spoilers ahead like I said the front becomes the back and the back becomes the front If you want to ask for like a specific row They have like a special queue over here where it's made like marked a b and c Since we did the front row before I want to do the back row So i'm not too sure where they tell you to go, but it's nice that they accommodate that though. You know what I mean Back row here we go Oh, here we go We're gonna stop rock and roll from existing What have we done? I think we're talking rock Have you not been paying attention? It's just a finger of speech drafts That was so cool. I love riding this ride like it is so amazing now It's not like my favorite ride because of uh, you know, basically nostalgia and just history But as it comes to like my favorite new ride, it's got to be that one like it really is I like it better than I like flight of passage I like it better than rise of the resistance Like it's so much like it's it's just so smooth and I love the music And it was fun to ride the front and the back me personally I think I like the back a little bit better Maybe I like the back a little bit better because I think you get to see more You know what I mean? You're not rushing the screen sections and you get to see the story kind of like Like going on and I like it and plus you get a longer launch back I feel like but let me know what you guys would rather front or back either way It's awesome. So I hope you guys enjoyed this video I mean, I had a pretty epic day today and I'm a little tired. I've been here all day and uh, yeah So I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye
