good morning
everybody it is a chili uh but yet
probably warmer than most of the rest of
the country but you know what this chili
brings back Nostalgia from when we used
to come on vacation all the time and it
would be cold in the morning so you’d
have to wear a jacket I wish I just
would have put pants on I’m excited to
wear a sweatshirt in the morning we are
headed to Magic Kingdom so we uh we were
planning to do some rope dropping today
at Magic Kingdom but but what kind of
sort of still will be the park opens at
8: technically which by the time we get
there it’ll be just before 8 probably uh
yeah I mean we’re not if you’re going to
do rope drop you got to get there early
and we’re not doing that so no we’re
missing the extra magic we kind of made
this thing last night on the way back
from the Polynesian and the car or some
point that like you know if we if we can
get a virtual queue that’s pretty early
then we won’t need or feel like we have
to go right into Magic Kingdom first
thing in the morning you know get up at
like six o’clock and be there by seven
so I was able to get us a virtual queue
spot of number three Josh is like you
better hurry up and get ready so we
shouldn’t have very long to wait um we
also have to check out today so we did
call down and get a late checkout so
yeah we called like two days ago if you
uh yeah if you are thinking that you
might need a late checkout make sure
that you call earlier in your stay than
later in your stay ask when you check in
which we forgot or that too um cuz we
would have done that so we are almost at
the bus stop we’re going to hit the
Magic Kingdom and then we are going to
go rat some Tron I don’t remember if
we’ve talked about this that much but uh
what’s really cool within the last few
years is they put all of these uh TVs up
that have the times of when the buses
are going to be coming so we actually
just missed uh the Magic Kingdom bus it
just did this really weird update cuz
now it says 806 is the next bus but uh
it was 7:47 so I don’t know but um
anyways you can see when the next bus
will be arriving for where you want to
go and so we’re going to magjik King
today so hopefully it’s not till 8:06
cuz that is uh that’s a little strange
that it would be so late but we’ll see
all right and the bus has arrived so
we’re going to hop on this and head to
Magic Kingdom all right and we’ve gotten
off the bus and we are making our way to
the Magic Kingdom check-in station it’s
8:15 we have to be there by 8:45 we have
Josh thinks it’s going to take 30
minutes from the bus stop to please run
run look I’m putting a bandaid on hustle
hustle hustle hustle hustle I have to
say though if there’s one park that it’s
hard to not hustle in it has to be Magic
Kingdom Jos you hustle in every Park so
I don’t know talking about
enjy I mean it’s the Magic Kingdom it’s
the first it’s the second original Park
I’m excited to see the uh
Castle it’s been a little while has been
a little while and here we go coming
around the corner this is like you know
the quintessential
[Music]
thing y this is uh this is the park and
it’s really great to be able to walk
down Main Street we’re not in any
Rush h on a
Tron I’m not in a rush as your footsteps
start to move
faster it’s hard to show slow motion
he’s got to concentrate on the
[Music]
[Music]
slow all right so we’re going to walk up
here and jump into the line
[Music]
this is super exciting even though Tron
is not a super long ride it Stills a
really cool uh roller coaster and it’s
really fun so definitely try to get a
lightning lane or a virtual Q pass get
on it if you’re a little worried that uh
the seats might be a little weird you
can actually come over here and try them
out or take a
photo and we’re going right
to be digitized into the world of
Dr this is super cool I mean they’ve
done such a great job and obviously this
is in Shanghai first before it came here
to Magic Kingdom Walt Disney World but
still nonetheless super cool attraction
so this morning they are flying through
the groups are already calling uh 26 or
something like that at 8:30 the park
open up at 8 and we’re not even weaving
in through the switchbacks which is uh a
pretty good sign that the ride is moving
pretty smoothly
[Music]
today well now we’re heading out of
Magic Kingdom as everybody is coming in
It’s Only just after 9:15 it’s like
almost 9:20 as you can see all of these
people are coming in there’s almost no
way to get out
so got to have some patience and just
kind of stay off to the side as
everybody comes up it has actually been
quite a while since we’ve been up here
because for the longest time it’s been
Clos all right we’ve made it to uh
Saratoga Springs and Caitlyn and Tyler
are here so they are DVC members and
they H got a treehouse Villa for one
night before we go and do our little
Cruise tomorrow so uh we came over here
they’re going to drop their bags at Bell
services and and then we’re going to
head on over to Epcot to go do a what’s
it called again wrap around a wrap
around all right so we’re back in Epcot
and we’re now here with Caitlin and
Tyler and we’re going to be trying some
flower and garden stuff we’re going to
do the uh the wraparound through the
countries and then we’re going to head
back and check in or do the completed
checkin for the Treehouse Villas so
let’s go uh eat some food and grab some
drinks so we’re walking around crer went
the other way
he’s way over there he probably wanted
to go see Minnie
Mouse so we’ve already done flower and
garden this trip a little bit we’ve
already had some food options but since
Caitlyn and Tyler are here Caitlin where
are we going first what’s the first stop
something jardan something or rather
meesta jardan day Fiesta this feels like
the first time that we were just here
earlier this week back to
Mexico we got an actual table we got an
actual table this time yeah so I’ve had
this before it’s really good it’s the
impossible Farmhouse meatball
here uh definitely one of my favorite
options um oh yeah I guess we should
probably get a little bit of
that it’s fantastic tastes just like a
regular meatball it’s
light slightly refreshing even with the
heaviness of the
meatball good lots of veggies in there I
like
it and then I got a uh purle tea without
the Gin cuz I don’t need that right now
so it’s good kayen what’ you
get uh
soap something something something
something Mexican and delicious looking
and surprisingly Tyler got the ribs from
very good um Trel and Travis Trel and
Travis travel travel and trellis they’re
the soy Ginger I think ribs they’re good
all right we’re continuing into Mexico
here and uh Tyler wants to go to the
laava de Tequila which is inside of the
pyramid here and they have a tog go
window so you don’t actually have to
wait to sit down so we’re going to head
on inside and grab a drink and there is
the laava tequila and right down here is
the window or the uh kind of room to get
into all right so we’ve all got some
drinks here from laava deila and uh
Tyler got some uh squawk and chips down
there and it’s kind of nice we all got a
different drink all of them are tequila
though I believe M they Mescal yours is
mescal okay that’s still tequila still
is tequila but the same it’s a kind of a
just a little bit different Smokey it
was uh or no who’s who was the Smokey
one that is the Lily but they just yeah
it’s just a presentation I I mean it
still looks cool though Frozen’s always
going to be
tailor how is it can’t help myself I do
like a margarita on the Rocks but this
one sounded really good so this is the
black magic um I actually almost got
this during a festival maybe last year
um this is the actually Neil Patrick
Harris’s drink um it’s supposed to come
with a like salt on the rim with like
ants in it but I didn’t want I don’t
like salt on my margarita
so otherwise though a very good frozen
margarita and oh this is this is very
key to note they don’t have paper straws
in LaCava they have the like I don’t
know biodegradable yeah they’re like
biodegradable but they’re not paper so
they last so going with the specialty
cocktails here at laava I went with the
crystal Inferno so this is the
collaboration with Brian Cranson and
Aaron Paul if you don’t know from
Breaking Bad they were here like maybe a
year ago yeah cuz they have like their
own uh I think it was a year ago yeah
they’ve got like their own tequila which
is the do om brace espadin Mescal uh it
is a orange Lor clarified lemon juice
and spiced nectar this is $20 or you can
get the LaCava sphere to take home
that’s $70 which I didn’t do obviously a
plastic cup so uh maybe it’s going to be
spicy I don’t know I’ve never had this
before oh it’s good
there is a little hint of heat that hits
you like in the back of your throat but
it’s not like overly spicy like you
might expect to find with the ghost
pepper uh what is that over at uh the
abrica da bar that ghost pepper like
Martini uh drink pepper ghost Pepper’s
ghost yeah it’s really hot um this one
is pretty smooth I like a little bit of
the like the not floral but the citrusy
in there uh balances really well with
that spice it’s it’s good what’ you get
kayin I have the Lily which is uh in
collaboration with Lily Aldridge um came
out a few years ago now but I get it
every time I come and it’s
delicious I’ve got chips and
guac also a corn old fashion so Mescal
simple syrup and cherries delicious all
right so we are at the joy of tea I
don’t think I’ve ever actually bought
anything here from Joy of tea before but
uh one of our agents Cara had suggested
that I try the Tipsy ducks in love which
apparently is supposed to tastes like
chocolate milk so we had this big
conversation while doing the podcast uh
of like I think it was food and wine
maybe there was a chocolate milk like
stout or something like that somebody
told me to try it it was disgusting so
um this drink is
$14.50 you’re drinking it all regardless
if you like it or not fingers crossed
that I think it tastes okay so I’m not a
huge bourbon fan um but we’ll try it and
uh coffee cream and chocolate I like my
coffee
unadultered so I don’t know if it
actually has any bourbon in it they just
poured it on top so it’s kind of like a
floater almost yeah you better stir that
around so we’re we’re going to try and
stir it up real
quick I’m super nervous about this
drink I think I can surprisingly drink
this it’s actually not that bad not the
response I was expecting well cuz I
think I was actually I think I was
shocked myself that uh it’s better than
I had expected I really didn’t think
that it was going to
be you can definitely still get the
bourbon in there it’s a little bit like
you can feel it but it it’s definitely
uh kind of chocolate milky that’s for
sure coffee cream chocolate black tea
and bourbon so you know
give it a try I did what’d you get there
prasa so we got ourselves some pot
stickers and a honey Jasmine
logger that sounds good they do look
pretty
good not for sharing they’s spicy not
for
sharing so Kaylin went and got a potato
pancake with some applesauce how is it
delicious very very good still good
without the fork
uh-huh and uh Tyler over here was
supposed to go get a Fork but it looks
like he took a
detour got himself here first and now
he’s walking over to
getk a fork oh it’s so
funny it’s an odd looking Fork it’s the
same beer I left with all right so we’re
just kind of hanging out here in Germany
we just got the worst phone call that
you could possibly get well not the
worst but close enough I mean it’s
pretty close right so what’s sitation
cuz you came running back with like the
phone and your like on your shoulder I
was like I got to get back to the
family okay so I was in line to pick the
stuff up and my phone started ringing
and so I looked at it and it was a 407
number I said I knew I got to answer
this this is something to do with the
room it just had to be so answered it
it’s the guy from Saratoga he’s like
I’ve got bad news for you I don’t know
did did you guys tell the Vlog where we
were going
yes okay so Saratoga Springs the tree
houses they’ve oversold for
tonight there’s three people in
competition for two rooms okay so he
says to me we can give you a two-bedroom
suite at the Bay Lake Tower I said no
dice so he’s going to call me back if he
still has to barter and we’re going to
go bake with the barter so we’re sitting
here planning we’re coming up with our
list of demands yes we’ve got demands of
what we need to make it worth our while
to not take the treehouse for the night
right they’re big demands we’re talking
presidential suite we’re talking bottles
of Dom we’re talking a dessert cruise
for the four of us that’s it we’re
talking California Grill dinner
complimentary LF the France which means
that we are in the France Pavilion I
have no idea where we’re going right now
now but we are making our way back into
uh the France Pavilion here getting some
photos and uh we still don’t have uh any
idea what’s happening with the room if
we have the Treehouse if they’re going
to call us back so it’s been a little
bit it’s a little on it’s a little
unnerving right because we don’t know
what’s happening so we’re kind of we’re
kind of just getting an ice cream
sandwich tell’s going to get an ice
cream sandwich we’re kind of like taking
our time Bing our time hope we’re going
to get a call here about whatever’s
going on so we’ll see back here in the
back of France there is a little ice
cream parlor and this kind of crowd of
people over here on the Le hand side you
can see is a line that’s the line for
ice cream Tyler wanted an ice cream
sandwich but I don’t think he’s going to
get one I guess not waiting in that line
all right no ice cream sandwiches for
him we we made a stop into Rose and
Crown
here the pub K’s going to grab a photo
with his drink I got myself a Guinness
and that is a nice pour good and creamy
all right so we just got some relatively
good and bad news the bad news is we
weren’t able to actually negotiate for
something better but the great news is
is that we have a treehouse um that we
can go back to so it is now ready room
number we got a room number we’re going
to head out of Epcot we’re going to head
over to the Treehouse vills and uh do a
little EXP ation and get some food we
are Treehouse 7054 which is literally
right as you come in the entrance so
we’ve got a really good spot uh close to
the entrance and
exit so there we are 754 the trucks
right there everybody’s getting their
bags look at that it’s all for
us so this is the first time that we’ve
ever gotten to stay in a treehouse villa
which is super cool and so a huge thank
you to Caitlin and Tyler for uh booking
this for one night and luckily getting
it right cuz we almost didn’t but uh
let’s talk a little bit about what is
here at the Treehouse Villa itself so we
do have a charcoal grill which is right
here at the base of the
steps now I don’t know that the actual
Lobby or the gift shop will have
charcoal for you so you may have to go
to the store and buy charcoal to bring
it back and cook uh you know I mean if
you’re going to be cooking your own
stuff I’m assuming you’re probably going
to the grocery store anyways so that is
an option
uh there is a door down here with a fire
extinguisher I’m just kind of curious if
you can even go inside it might be
locked oh it’s open oh that’s weird
so I wonder if it’s supposed to be
unlocked but basically these uh this is
where like all the towels and uh the
HVAC units are the water cooler one
thing that we don’t have is a room
that’s right by the canal which is where
you could take a boat to Disney Springs
or to uh the rest of like the resorts
Saratoga Springs or Port Orleans we
don’t have that kind of nice view but uh
if you do have that in some of the tree
houses you will have that and you can
kind of like sit out on the patio or the
porch or out the window and kind of
watch the boats go by which is kind of
cool and nice but it’s it is um it’s
it’s fairly easily walkable to get from
here back over to Saratoga Springs I
don’t know I would recommend walking
from here to Disney Springs uh there is
a boat launch that you can take from
here to Disney Springs I would recommend
taking the boat launch so um I think
they might be done so let’s head on
upstairs and take a look inside of the
Treehouse itself I stand corrected I
thought Taylor was done um so this is
the porch area up here we’ve got a
little table with some chairs kind of
nice you can just kind of come out here
and relax and hang
out you know
uh it’s nice and kind of calm except for
the plane that’s flying overhead but we
used to whenever I used to come with
Taylor’s family stay at Saratoga Springs
all the time and we never really came
over here because there’s no real need
to uh The Treehouse Villas don’t have
like a separate Lobby or lounge or
anything like that so all of that stuff
is actually located at Saratoga Springs
itself so for
breakfast if you’re not planning to have
breakfast here in the treehouse you’re
going to have to go over to Saratoga
Springs so this is a place where
you should probably be preparing
yourself to make food yourself it has a
full kitchen in there we’ll go in there
and take a look at that here in a second
but it is a really really nice place and
I’m kind of excited to go see it I
haven’t seen it yet and they keep saying
they’re like oh my gosh it’s awesome
it’s awesome it’s so cool so we’re going
to head in here and go check it out now
okay Taylor just finished her tour so
your sister we’re going to go in and
take a look
finally wow this is uh pretty nice so
far we got like a little table right
right here themed really well a bar a
full fridge with a freezer and glasses
for us to have our wine that was the
first thing I noticed I
awesome yeah and this is pretty spacious
too I mean it’s really nice so let’s
head back this way oh right there’s the
TV welcome prer party this is a pull out
couch so you have a whole another uh
place to sleep right here for larger
families so we’ll go back in here to
this first room
huge TV a
desk
bed lots of storage space for all of
your
clothes oh man check this bathroom out
wow oh my
God oh my God it’s a shower and a tub so
it’s like it’s all just one thing in
here like you open that door it’s the
shower you can see the shower heads up
there and over on the other side is the
bathtub oh my gosh this is like they
were saying this is pretty crazy place
this is oh it’s a it’s got jets in it
too wow that’s unreal and then we have
the toilet over here it’s its own
separate space which is kind of
nice wow dang uh H2O products they’re
not attached to the wall everybody
they’re not attached to the wall you can
take those with you at the end of your
stay we’ll head back out here into the
main area where everybody’s uh just
hanging out all right we’ll go into this
uh room right here we’ve got the bunk
beds we’ll kind of swing back this way
so you can get a little bit of a better
view the bunk beds there we’ve got some
shelving a phone another huge uh big I
mean it’s not a huge TV but like this is
a bigger TV for uh like you know
multiple rooms in a hotel so that’s kind
of nice so we’ve seen two
bedrooms here is the
third look at that it’s pretty nice dang
open this door up this probably a little
closet space extra pillow and
blankets and I love this too like
there’s just so many like really great
you can just kind of open this up and
see nature out
there doing its
thing and then we have the uh other
bathroom in
here look at that huh washer and dryer
oh yeah look at that washer and dryer a
ton of people could fit in here you
could sleep a whole family in here you
could combine points if you wanted to
and rent this out for a week or 10 days
or however you want to do it so all
right so we did not cook we ordered out
some takeout we sure did we got some
Habachi takeout everybody basically got
steak and a combination of steak and
shrimp looks pretty good we even got
some wine to drink for tonight so I mean
it’s kind of like when you think about
it like we’ve got this huge
space it’s just kind of nice to relax
and hang out and uh just have a good
time so sure I’m the producer so we’ve
been uh taking a little walk here after
we just ate our
Kobe our all of our food and we’re just
kind of strolling around the Treehouse
vill is here and seeing what there is we
want to go down and check out the pool
we found the boat Transportation so this
is where if you’re staying here you
would go to catch the boat to take you
to uh Saratoga Springs or uh French
quarter but you’d have to go to Disney
Springs first so this will take you to
Disney Springs and then you can transfer
to another boat that’ll take you to uh
Riverside and French Quarter so I kind
of like these little signs that they put
out here for everybody you never know
what you’ll find in a wetland and it’s
just like a bunch of birds and animals
that you might see uh out here at the
Treehouse Villas and I I love that they
put bats on here cuz I feel like we
never really see any bats around but I’d
love to see some but you can see all of
this all these animals you can see out
and about out
here so it’s pretty nice and you’ll be
looking for the blue
flags running from 10:00 a.m. to
10:30 so we’re out here walking and
there is a pathway over to Saratoga
Springs if you guys have watched any of
the live stream running videos I’ve done
this before where We’ve ran over here at
the Treehouse Villas and then went over
to Saratoga so it’s kind of cool
