 Hey friends tonight We are hanging out at Disney Springs and it is officially April So that means a new cookie of the month at Gideon's bakehouse And I am so excited because it is a coffee toffee chocolate chip cookie and you guys know I love coffee and cookies So put them together. It's the perfect combination and then later on we're gonna head down to international drive Check out mega con and then go to one of the cool restaurants down there So I figured we come on out do some shopping eat some cookies and have a beautiful Disney Springs kind of day Any hoes? Let's go do this And it is such a beautiful day today at Disney Springs I think we're gonna head right on over to Gideon's and see how long the wait is Hopefully it's a virtual queue and we're not gonna have to stand in line and get ourselves the cookie of the month I'm also interested in seeing if there's anything else new for the month of April at Disney Springs But I do need to make it down to mega con by 2 p.m. Because I'm doing a little meet and greet at the Roosevelt's booth from 2 to 4 and if we don't have enough time Like I said, I want to show you around international drive a little bit. Maybe stop into one of their cool restaurants It's a very touristy area and just give you a tour around to look Looks like there's no virtual queue and it's just a standby line. It doesn't look too bad though Usually I've seen the line wrapping around the building. This is probably only a 20 30 minute wait Here is a look at the menu for April and on the front We have morning Joe not morning Joe, but morning Joe He awaits just outside the cemetery gates and the cookie of the month Like I said is the coffee toffee chocolate chip and then they brought back the salted caramel cold brew Which is a big seller so I might just get the coffee and the cookie might do them both They have had this coffee toffee chocolate chip cookie in the past But Gideon's always changes and tweaks the recipe just a little bit because they strive for greatness And I've seen them do that with past cookies and they're always making it better and better So I'm always excited and happy to come out and try them And then also the salted caramel coffee cold brew is back and that's been got away for a while Alright, it's time to head on in. I'm so excited. It's hot out today, too Hi, how are you? Alright, we have obtained the goods and look at this. Oh boy This coffee looks of this coffee. Well, it is coffee. This cookie looks incredible You can see the chocolate chips. You can see the toffee on there It's a vanilla cookie and the espresso and we're gonna break into it. Here we go Look at that. Oh boy. Gonna have chocolate chips on my fingers here. Gonna get the straw ready first. Let's try the cookie Wow So good now we gotta grab the coffee Wow the cookie is so good you can really taste the espresso in there and Also the toffee itself and then the salted caramel cold brew is such a I wish they actually added this on the menu longer It was so good. It's not too overpoweringly coffee. It's a good mixture between salt and salty and sweetie salty and sweetie and When I ordered it, they're like, can I get a salty? So it was really fun But both of these are home runs. This cookie is phenomenal, especially for the people that love coffee The more I sip on the cold brew itself I have to say this might be in the top for me. It might be in the top for cold brews I mean the banana Chocolate chip cookies my number one cookie there. This is too. This is really good, but it's not taking the number one spot I honestly feel like this is taking my number one spot a Lot of people don't know that the actual like artwork comes with a little backstory too So this one is an afterlife wandering from grave to grave Weeping for those who couldn't be saved What helps to break his soul of mood and fill his heart with gratitude? When chocolate coffee and toffee taste mix with teardrops falling from his face and that's what you get with this cookie Teardrops Alright, well things didn't go according to plan and now we need to rush down to international drive I'm always late for things and I don't want to be late for two o'clock So we're gonna leave now and make our way down there. It's 12 51 and it takes me about 30 minutes to get there So I got a rush I'm sorry guys usually I do like spending more time at Disney Springs So we're definitely gonna have to come back once I have more time, but right now I gotta kind of get going Always pressing to the last minute On my way out I wanted to point out to you that the old Chappelle hat shop while the little booth here is gone and now it is a pop a gallery And it's kind of funny because the artist who does all the artwork for Gideon's terribly odd Actually has some special prints in here that you can buy. Look at that. Isn't that so cool? I've seen a lot of his stuff before at the Festival of the arts and it's cool now that you can buy it here at Disney Springs That looks like Wednesday Adams actually. I like all of these. They're actually really awesome. I Think he goes by two names. I think he's mr. Eyes and terribly odd and I love his artwork Like I'm a big fan if you couldn't tell so it's cool that he has his own little stand here now Well, it's not his own little it's a part of a pop gallery, you know the good old orange garage I always park in orange garage. I never park in lime, you know, I just feel like orange garage is the og Huh, get it. I ran into some friends celebrating their honeymoon. Congratulations. I hope you guys have a wonderful Disney Springs kind of day Bye Oh my lord, I forgot the cupcakes. I don't even know what I'm gonna do Thanks to my friends the Ark adventures that gave me a little fancy lanyard for my Megacon credentials And just like that we have made it to the Orange County Convention Center Megacon Today is Saturday, which is the busiest day at Megacon. There's not a lot of people outside But probably once we get in there's gonna be a lot of people. It's gonna be basically like happily ever after Opening night exit like that's how many people are gonna be in there I'm just gonna make my way right down to the Roosevelt's booth and then after would probably hang around a little bit I'll show you something. I'll show you a couple of things and then we'll head on out and explore around international drive In fact, I heard that there is a hundred and fifty thousand people here today a hundred fifty thousand people in One little convention center. Well, it's not little. It's actually a very big convention center I have never done a formal meet-and-greet before like I've never told someone in the exact time and a place where I was gonna Be so I'm kind of excited to see how this turns out I hope I get to meet a lot of cool people and we get to talk a lot and Just kind of share stories and like I said, we're just gonna go go with the flow of things And here it is Megacon Orlando, holy moly there is a lot of people here today Lots and lots of people. Oh, and there's the Roosevelt's booth over there. I could see it People showing up, but I did not expect as many people to be here and honestly, I'm a little emotional about it I'm a little it really is like amazing and it's so awesome to be able to say hi to everyone I'm in the back right now. I'm actually in the booth and I'm gonna go head back out now, but It's it's really really something else. I thank you. Thank you everyone that actually came out and now I'll definitely maybe do this again. Maybe we'll make it a thing Maybe we'll be able to set a certain time and a place and that way I can say hi to everybody By the way, if you've ever wanted to see what was inside one of the booths, this is it look at that Let me get to go right back outside a little door here Sorry, Rachel, I say hi. Thanks guys Some friends drop by the booth. Hello friends. I love that Chris the girl and Tampa J I know it's great. I missed you guys. I missed you. I miss you. You know We're always like running past each other Yes One of these days let's get together. Let's go to Lakeland and go to the first Red Lobster Well, that was Incredible. Thank you again for everyone that came out that I was able to say hi to Truly amazing and I love it so much. I really never thought I'd be able to Have that many people wanting to see me or meet me It really is such a humbling experience and I'm so grateful for everyone and thank you again now I don't know. I guess I guess we'll explore around a little bit Whenever I come to any of these like comic cons I always find a lot of like childhood toys that make me just fall back in time and feel nostalgic But nothing has ever made me feel more like a kid than seeing my pet monster up there Look at that. I was absolutely in love with my pet monster when I was a kid $850 for it mint unused. I remember the handcuffs. They break apart. Wow $850 I feel like I can probably find a better like a cheaper price But right now it just makes me feel happy looking at it So like I can only imagine what it would be like if I got to like hold it. Look at that $850 is a lot for my pet monster But let me know in the comments if you guys had a met my pet monster when you were growing up They were the best me my brother loved playing with those so I would love to get one. I'm not gonna pay you 54 I'm gonna look on eBay and it is so busy in here. Holy moly. Let me show you what it's like walking through this little like narrow corridor As you can see it is a little bit busy here today I think I'm gonna make my way out and go explore around international drive and get ready for Topgolf a little bit later on tonight But the whole meet agreed went by so fast and it was there for two hours. It was gone like just like that and Now I'm like whoa, it's it's still a beautiful day out Now that we've left the convention center I made my way down international drive to the Walt Disney World store They actually built this a while back and I never came out and checked it out It's right across the street from the icon park and then they have a mooyah a mooyah I've never even heard of a mooyah, but I'm kind of excited to actually go in the Walt Disney World store Look at it. Actually like the way it says that the Walt Disney World store, but I do miss the Disney store Honestly, don't even know what they sell in the Walt Disney World store other than tickets, but I think we're gonna find out And this is it the Walt Disney World store. It's a little bit small. It's smaller than I thought it was gonna be I like how they have all the different sayings on here The most magical place on earth up there the whole store kind of reminds me of the 50th And I'm kind of wondering if they built this I know they built it during the 50th, but did they build it for the 50th? Obviously the 50th anniversary is over now and if you do see any merchandise, don't buy it Because it's probably gonna be going on sale or going to the character warehouse very shortly They have a Disney ticket center in here and then a little virtual Disney Vacation Club place Like a little like kind of virtual reality and I think I'm gonna go do the virtual reality It looks fun. I wouldn't mind exploring the villas at Disney's Grand Floridian Resort Look at this Is this supposed to make it look like we're there a one bedroom villa, please show me. Oh Wow, look at this We're in the Grand Floridian la-di-da. Oh, wow. You can actually walk through out down the balcony. Ah This is a nice balcony. I like it Can explore around a little bit look This is kind of this is kind of tripping me out. I'm gonna go back inside. Oh Let's go into the bedroom This is actually really kind of cool Look at this kind of put a strain on my eyes. I don't know if I want to do that anymore Oh, look, I'm actually now. I'm in the projection. I'm in the one bedroom villa I'm not the biggest fan of the Walt Disney World Store. In fact, it was kind of a waste to come down here. I Mean, it's I mean, it's just like a ticket store So I guess you can buy this stuff wire. Yeah, if you're staying on a national drive, but I much rather just go to Disney Springs I mean they really didn't have much in there and you guys might recognize this big gigantic building as you're driving an I4 You'll see it all lit up like Disney has a gigantic like neon billboard and this is what's there Just what I showed you in there and I wanted to go to Muya because I've never heard of it But I don't think they're open yet. I've never even heard of a Muya. Is this something good? It seems pretty dark in there Can't see anything. Oh, they're definitely closed. That was my plan And I guess it really didn't work out as I thought it would so think we need to get something to eat somewhere else Or like I said, just wait for Topgall, but kind of hungry now. I Figured we would just hop in the car and then drive down a little bit and see what else there is But the traffic is crazy here today Since we can't get any burgers or shakes I figured I'd bring you to my favorite restaurant on an international drive down Monaco's Italian steakhouse this place is iconic. They have a couple of them up in New York So if you're from New York, you might know about down Monaco's but down here, I love it It's an Italian steakhouse. It's pasta with steak. You can't go wrong with that And when I say it's pasta with steak I mean, it's pasta with steak like they come out with this beautifully seared down Monaco's steak And it comes with a side of penne marinara. I'll show you guys, but it is amazing here Here is a look at the menu. I decided to dine outside. They have one of the best soups here, too This Zupa de Stracata, I'm not sure I'm saying it right, but it's like an Italian wedding soup and it is phenomenal I've actually been dreaming about this soup for a while So I'm glad we came and then we've got the Del Monaco's Del Monaco steak best deal in town huge 24 ounce certified Angus beef center cut rib eye steak from Midwestern grain fed heavy-aged beef seasoned and perfectly seared and served with penne marinara for 37 29 look at that. This is gonna be I'm telling you which I have done a video here in the past and it was so good I'm telling you though. You guys are gonna love it Sometimes days like today. I just want to sit outside got a nice little water fountain over there It's very pretty and it's nice setting and we got some bread Here is a look at some of the other entrees that they have they have a one pound lasagna for 23 99 The raviola tree which I think it comes with three different sauces to spicy vodka sauce marinara sauce and then half vodka Half marinara, then they've got the fruta de mari then they've got the shrimp scampi the veal parmesan the chicken Sinatra gotta get the hot cherry peppers on there see very good food like honestly I love it here. I don't know why I haven't brought you guys out sooner like from the last time I might actually want to get some of the Italian long hot peppers as well Look at this view. Look at this bread. Let's see here. Got some bread with some butter in there. Oh, it looks like good bread I don't want to save this for my soup. I'm actually gonna do that saving that for the soup and I got an all-in-the-palmer my fancy Well, I guess we can forget about eating at Topgolf I mean I went all in to a monocle or go home 24 ounces and we too see it's charred perfectly. I don't even have to like give them Specifications, I just tell them my temp and then they cook it usually I got to be like, oh, give me a little Pittsburgh a little jar No, no, they just do it like that here and Now my soup has arrived and just take a look at this soup. Hold on. Look at this Look at this soup. Tell me like if you're a soup a soup fan that does not look like the most amazing soup You'll ever see It is so old look at that Good blend of different veggies meatballs chicken pasta and a nice chicken broth. I Don't know if I want to get a meatball first. There we go. Just a little bit like this Good soup This honestly might be one of the best soups I've ever had like if they sold this by the pint I should ask them actually if they sell this by the pint. I would probably get a pint and bring it home with me. I Really needed to look up how to say stracciatella. That's the name of the soup. Zupa the stracciatella Zupa the stracciatella. I also think that's a gelato too. So I don't know This is not a drill the steak has arrived and take a look at this beautiful piece of meat I love saying it. Look at this. That is so much. This is such a huge steak It is really the best deal in town and then here's the pasta that comes with and I cannot wait. Look at this char Look at that That is perfect right there Del Monaco steaks are usually a very fatty steak That's what they are and that's why I love them so much and we're not talking about the name Del Monaco They have other steaks on the menu here like fillets this right here is a Del Monaco steak And we're gonna cut into it. I think I'm gonna take this piece right here at the end It's got a nice fat cap just alongside the outside there, but it is so good Here we go first bite And also the best thing about this is you get pasta with it too. Look at this like this is your side I love Italian steak houses. It's two of my favorite foods Normally, I always want to get the meatballs to test them out, but I have way too much food That steak is huge. In fact, you know what? I know what I'm gonna do with that steak I was thinking to myself, you know, who else likes steaks? Gracie likes steaks and since I couldn't get her a pup cake I figured I'd bring her home a nice piece of steak the size of my hand. I mean, I couldn't eat at all It's 24 ounces. I think I think that's what they said. I gotta look it up real quick. Yeah 24 ounces and She's gonna love this I Am completely stuffed now, but I mean I couldn't pass that off I love coming if you're ever down an international drive look for Del Monaco's or if you're up in New York I like I said, I know they have a couple locations up there It's always amazing and the steak is like Peter Luger's level steak for me not like Disney steaks This is on another level, but I love it so much and Now we got to go let Gracie out give her a little bit of her steak And then I think we're gonna head to Topgolf do a little golfing Gracie's gonna flip out when she smells this steak She comes running down the steps Look at what I got right here smell it you want some oh Yes, yes, you want it you want some steak you'll go for a walk. Oh look at that face You want some steak, huh? Oh, okay, maybe I she gotta get some right now I have a little piece in here for you. Come here. I got big piece for you. Look at this. I Know oh You want some look at her Okay, just a little piece here. It's a good piece Chew baby chew. Oh Okay, we'll cut it up later and add it to your meal. Okay, come on. Let's go for a walk See it's like she doesn't even notice I didn't bring her a pup cake today. Yeah, the steak is just good enough You want more of that steak, huh? You're more of that steak. Let's go Let's go Come on Don't touch that steak Not until I get up there Well, unfortunately, I don't think we're gonna be doing top golf today I really wanted to go but by the time I got home traffic was backed up. I went for a long walk with crazy I Kind of missed all my friends that went to top golf they're already done golf And so I think we're gonna have to save that for another night, you know just save it for maybe another day I plan on doing stuff around Orlando but I did want to kind of announce something and let you guys know something really awesome and I kind of talked about it a little bit during a live stream But it is official and it is locked in.
