Transcript

00:00Hello everyone and welcome to Animal Kingdom.

00:11We are doing something very exciting this morning.

00:14So we are doing the Wild Africa track, which is a special extra ticketed experience, three

00:22hours long, where you get to explore over the savannah where the animals are.

00:26We have seen this when we've done the Kilimanjaro Safari and wanted to do this for years, so

00:32that is what we're going to start.

00:34And yesterday was the first time a new tiger cub was brought into the enclosure.

00:40Yeah.

00:41It's the first tiger cub to be born in seven years at Animal Kingdom and it's four months

00:46old.

00:47Yeah.

00:48Also, we've got a few fast passes.

00:49We're going to eat a nice lunch and bring you along and...

00:52We have an amazing dinner tonight at Steakhouse 71.

00:56That wasn't supposed to be edited.

00:57We haven't had any breakfast yet, so speaking of food, let's go find something to eat.

01:02And before we start, let me show you Brogan's outfit.

01:04I love those shorts.

01:05They're from Amazon.

01:06They're so floaty and good.

01:07You have to wear shorts for this.

01:08You're not allowed skirts or dresses.

01:09I'm hoping they're long enough because I had to wear a harness, so I hope they're fine.

01:15We have...

01:16I haven't had my leggings just in case.

01:17New top.

01:18Nice.

01:19New top.

01:20Who dis?

01:21And you have to have cameras and phones secured, so I've got mine on a chain here.

01:27Bag is Uniqlo.

01:28Sketchers shoes.

01:29Old ears.

01:30They're nice though.

01:31Or sparkly ones.

01:32They were the only ones I really liked.

01:33Match your shorts.

01:34I need some leopard print ears.

01:35I felt like you had some.

01:36No?

01:37I've got both.

01:38I've got a leopard bow.

01:39Got you.

01:40But anyway.

01:41Let's do it.

01:42And Ben just gone for a green top today.

01:43Green for nature.

01:44Green for nature.

01:45Love it.

01:46It's another glorious day.

01:47We're getting very lucky, considering we had lots of cold at the beginning.

01:48Oh, I love it.

01:49Right.

01:50I need you to navigate us to Kilimanjaro Safaris, where we check in.

01:51But we obviously do need some food, because it is a three hour experience.

01:52They do give you a snack.

01:53Oh, they're cute ears.

01:54I like those.

01:55You literally have ten seconds to decide whether you want them or not.

01:56No, don't have time.

01:57Don't have time.

01:58Maybe after, but we're really tight on time.

01:59And we didn't get breakfast.

02:00We could, but we've got to try and grab a snack for someone.

02:01Yeah.

02:02Okay.

02:03Creature comfort.

02:04Creature comfort.

02:05Creature comfort.

02:06Creature comfort.

02:07Creature comfort.

02:08Creature comfort.

02:09Creature comfort.

02:10Creature comfort.

02:11Creature comfort.

02:12Creature comfort.

02:13Creature comfort.

02:14Creature comfort.

02:15Is it the best choice?

02:16No, but we'll do.

02:17So I've got the spinach feta wrap.

02:18It's really nice, actually.

02:19And you've got the sausage and egg.

02:20It looks like a McDonald's McMuffin.

02:21Sausage and egg with cheese.

02:22Yeah.

02:23It's really nice.

02:24And it was a meal credit, so we got an orange juice and a Sprite with it.

02:25But we're having to eat and walk, because otherwise we're going to be late.

02:26It's beautiful here.

02:27I absolutely love it.

02:28Like, love the water and the trees.

02:29Right.

02:30So we're all checked in at this animal tour.

04:20We're going to have a look around.

04:21We're going to have a look around.

04:30We're about to cross our first bridge.

04:32We have to be half a bridge away from each other.

04:35You go first.

04:36I'll do service.

04:37I'll go last.

04:37There's five hippos all laying down in a row and they look like sausages in a pan.

04:42Can you say nachos?

04:43Nachos!

04:44Bye Ben!

04:45If you don't like heights, this is not for you, but I don't mind heights, I actually

04:51really like heights, to a certain degree.

04:53Oh my gosh, I've always been in the car watching other people do this and now I'm doing it!

04:58It's such a beautiful day for it!

05:00Oh you can really see the hippos!

05:03Oh my gosh, this is so cool!

05:07Oh look!

05:08Wow, they're so close!

05:10Oh my god, that's so cool!

05:13Look at that!

05:14I think that might be the closest I've ever been to a hippo.

05:19How was that?

05:20That was so great!

05:26Bye!

05:37Next bridge!

05:38Benja's probably getting better footage because this is quite wobbly.

05:41Oh my gosh, crocodiles!

05:42Oh my god, they do not look real!

05:44Stop!

05:45This is actually harder than it looks.

05:48Look at the crocs!

05:50Oh my god, scary as hell.

05:51Hi!

05:52Hi!

05:53Come in there.

05:54Thank you!

05:55Welcome to Taipei!

05:56Thank you!

05:57Of course!

05:58Okay, crossing the line.

05:59See right there, how was it?

06:00Great!

06:01Good!

06:02Let's sit here.

06:03Alrighty, you're all good.

06:04You can run back here.

06:05Be right back, I'll see our artist where he belongs.

06:06You're welcome.

06:08Okay, we're now taking off with the homelessness.

06:09We're transferring to a bus for the next portion of the trip.

06:10It's 11.40, we started at 10.15 so it's been great so far.

06:11I'm really enjoying it.

06:12We've seen so many cool things.

06:13Yeah.

06:14Okay we're now taking off for the homelessness. We're transferring to a bus for the next portion

06:27of the trip. It's 11.40, we started at 10.15 so yeah it's been great so far. I'm really

06:32enjoying it. We're seeing so many cool things. Some folks might believe that it is different

06:48species which depending on the species could very well be but from a side giraffe it's

06:52all just genetics just like where plants pronounce redheads. So we turned off where

07:09the flamingos are and we've got this viewing platform here. Wow this is absolutely incredible.

07:16When you're in the truck sometimes they move quite fast, sometimes we do have to stop where

07:21that giraffe is. We had to stop for a bit but it can be really hard because it's moving

07:26fairly fast and it's quite bumpy so it's nice to just sit out here. We've got half an hour

07:30here to just appreciate the animals. How incredible is this? We're gonna have a little snack here.

07:35Look at that little giraffe over there. So cute and the zebras are just there. Wow. You

07:43can see the animals through the trees here too. It's full 360. We've got the flamingos

07:47down there as well. Okay so they've put out little tins. We're gonna open them. Okay let's

07:55see what's inside here shall we? We've got some pork juice if you know you know. Pineapple

08:01orange guava. We love the pork juice don't we? What have you started with then? A wrap.

08:21How insanely good was that food? Yeah really good and what was we had your favourite drink?

08:26The pork juice. It was insane like they said we were having a snack so I just assumed like

08:32a cookie and a drink like I didn't I never thought we'd have like a full meal. So if

08:37I can recount everything. Prosciutto ham and mozzarella balls, a hummus, flatbread, pickles

08:42and olives, chicken wrap, spiced shrimp with like red onion and peppers. Yeah a little

08:51fruit pot. Oh the fruit pot's really nice. And a little cake. A little cake. It was delicious.

08:56Really good. It was really good and I don't even think I need any lunch you know. We'll

08:59see maybe a little snack on it or maybe we'll share an orange chicken or something. I would

09:02like a pineapple lumpia. Okay well we're going to be able to fly anyway aren't we so? We

09:07are we are we are. And oh no I can have my, I haven't had that yet, the cocktail that

09:11they do there. Oh you haven't picked up a cocktail yet? Yes. Oh look she's just rolling

09:14around in the mud that's so cute. So Luna is, Luna is one of the deer's younger sisters

09:21but she has been around since Cora's birth. There's more elephants out now so we're just

09:26having a look. They're playing and just having a lovely time it's so sweet. You see the bigger

09:31elephants are scooping up dirt and throwing it on their back look. Oh that's so cute.

09:37Our white rhino was the only orange rhino in the world because the clay in Maryland

09:41is really really orange. Now we have two sets of sisters. So we have a set of triplets

09:49and a set of twins. So three cheetah girls and two cheetah girls.

09:54We have arrived. No, not two. Don't think I'm sad.

09:59Okay we've just come back, we finished, we picked up our things. This is one of the things

10:03I love about Animal Kingdom, the live music is insane.

10:08I will say it is definitely an expensive experience. You got the Disney tax included haven't you?

10:36Yes you do at $219 per person so bear that in mind but if you love animals, you love

10:45Animal Kingdom, you want the opportunity to have sort of a VIP experience, have that one

10:50on one opportunity to ask questions to the cast members.

10:56We had Hayley and Maddie and they were so knowledgeable, answered every question.

11:00They wear so many hats you know like they have to have all that knowledge on all the

11:04animals and be like, I don't even know what the technical words are like scientist, conservationist,

11:09educationist, like whatever. But also they have to be good at photography because they

11:14took so many photos of us. Which are included by the way in the price.

11:18They took so many pictures, nice ones of us. Then they gave us that amazing lunch as well

11:23which was meant to just be a snack but I would say that was like, I would have paid for the

11:28lunch alone like $20-$30. You know what I mean, like a really nice sit down experience

11:34lunch in a private savannah area. Gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous. Wouldn't do it again

11:40because it's definitely a one and done. But not in a negative way, I've done it and I've

11:45ticked it off. And I feel like at this point in the trip, we were very go go go, running

11:50around. This point we needed a break from just constantly running around rides. So yeah

11:57we're going to go and do a few rides, I say that now. We are going to go and do some rides

12:00just because we had lightning lane that we pre-booked in advance at home. Do I think

12:04we need it today? Probably not, we're probably quite happy just walking around but we have

12:07them. I think that's again one of the things we've learnt from this trip. I think we only

12:11need lightning lanes once in each park. And for the first few days, after that we don't

12:16really care do we? Yeah. Because it just restricts you a bit I think. Because now all three of

12:21our lightning lanes are within the next hour. And especially with animal kingdom they're

12:25all literally opposite ends of the park. Yeah. I think we're actually going to skip

12:29festival of the lion king this trip, just because we have done it quite a few times.

12:33It's one of the ones we do every time and we do it in Paris as well. There's a version

12:37in Paris, it hasn't got the like tumble monkeys and all that stuff. But yeah it's an amazing

12:41show if you haven't seen it yet, it's in there. I do love the outside as well, I think it's

12:45really pretty. Oh my goodness, I love it so much. It is the most immersive, beautiful,

12:53well themed land. And it's even better at night as well. I don't know if we're going

12:57to have time to see it at night this trip, but my gosh I love it. When people ask me

13:01why I love animal kingdom so much, I could honestly list you loads of things. But when

13:05I'm not vlogging or talking to Benj, just the sounds. Yeah. I love it. Like I could

13:14just stop and listen to all the little sounds. It's just amazing. But anyway, we're going

13:17on fly passage, which we love. I bought a lightning lane. They've actually repainted

13:23the floor and this glows at night. It's so beautiful. They must be doing it in segments

13:28for, sorry, look at this. It's insane. I love it. You will not believe the wait for standby.

13:37130 minutes. Two hours turn. I wonder how many of the plants are real versus fake. There

13:44must be loads. We've come straight to Pongu Pongu and also just skip the line over there.

13:50There's actually two stations. I don't know why no one comes in this corner. Benj has

13:53gone for the night blossom with vodka in it. Thank you. We can share that on the walk over

14:00to Everest. And I have got a, uh, what do they call this? Pineapple Lumpia. And it is

14:05a pineapple cream cheese ring. I talked about this in the last animal kingdom day we did.

14:09I absolutely love this. It's quite basic. So don't get your hopes up and run here if

14:14it's not your kind of thing, but like it's sweet and pineapple and creamy and just yum.

14:19I love it. And it's snack credit. I will say it's one of the worst uses of snack credit

14:24because it's like, it's only like $3 isn't it? It's alright. It's one of your favourites

14:28though. Yeah, I love it. And this is really nice. It tastes like, it's another one that

14:33tastes like one of them twister lollies. It's really good. You got to make sure you mix

14:36the rum in because otherwise you could just get a full glug of rum. You can get non-alcoholic

14:41too if you have kids. Yeah, it's a night blossom or it's a rum blossom if you want it to have

14:46alcohol in it. And it's got boba balls in it. It does. And it's yummy. I haven't seen

14:50any characters come down the river either. Sometimes they float down on little boats

14:55which is so cute. The flight of passage was great. Although I got quite wet in my seat.

15:00Like the water splashing on me was quite intense today. Quick look at the pins. It's rude not

15:06to isn't it? We've got quite a lot of these and I think we've got a really good selection

15:10of pins this time. Did we get one for our trip? No we didn't. That's quite cute. Experience

15:14the savannah. Explore. What's wrong? Brain freeze. We'll come back. I had it in my chest

15:26the other day. It hurt so much. Right on the roof of my mouth. I'll take this. It hit me.

15:32Sometimes it builds but it actually hit me. Also I don't know why I haven't done this

15:36sooner. I've got my phone on this lanyard still and it's so much easier. There's a little

15:41secret photo spot down here and it's a beautiful view. We've just done our photos. It's such

15:46a lovely spot with the waterfall there and it's a little hidden sort of alley down here.

15:52So just past the Kilimanjaro Safari on your way to Dinoland Indonesia. When you see the

15:59waterfall that's your little cue. That little spot there. Oh yes the mothership Everest.

16:05Don't know what the wait time is like today because the park feels quite busy. It's only

16:1030 minutes. So our lightning lane ended 37 minutes ago and I came up to the castle and

16:16went I'm so sorry we are a little bit late and he went don't worry it's ok. I love that

16:20they're so understanding though. So chill. So you don't have to be like we're normally on time

16:24always but you know. Thank you. Yay. Row one. We didn't even wait and ask for it today. Boom.

16:32It's the wildest ride in the Himalayas. Yeah I think they should add that.

16:38I love this view up here. Hollywood. You can see it. I've got Anna in Hollywood Studios.

16:47There we go. We're ready for it this time. Right so this is the jungle track. This is where the

17:12tigers are. Look at those monkeys down there. They look so wise. They look so content don't they.

17:18Look at them. So gorgeous. Of course. So cute. I'm sorry but I could give that a cuddle and it wouldn't

17:34ruin me alive I swear. I reckon I could give it a cuddle. Ok. We'll see about that. Right so they're only

17:41letting out the baby between 9 and 11 a.m. because it's only his second day and apparently he was

17:49really nervous on the first day. Even though the mum is apparently trying to like coax him out.

17:53They are keeping him indoors and then they let him out. Even when they let him out he's not

17:58always coming out. He's a bit sensitive. And the cast member said that the cue just to see the

18:04baby tiger was massive this morning. I can see that Kevin the bird is out from up.

18:09Going into Dinoland USA for possibly the last time. Probably the last time.

18:23Oh look all those rides already down. Bye bye rides. These are the kind of details I

18:31absolutely love. Can you see there's like tire tracks. That's so cool. Guys. Dinosaurs closed.

18:39They must have only just closed because it says it's on on the app. But we wanted to do it one last time.

18:43I swear this ride is always down. Always down. Yeah good job it's going really. Ok bye.

18:48So Ben's just gone to order his drink at a different place and I've just come to Flametree

18:53Barbecue to get a an island breeze I think it's called. The woman charged me for one with a glow

19:01cube thing for an extra $3.50. And I was like I didn't order that. I didn't ask for that. And they

19:09were like oh we can give you a refund. I was like don't worry about it. Like for the sake of $3.

19:14But super annoying. So make sure you specify I don't want the glowy cube. I don't need that. I'm

19:20so annoyed. I already feel like I spend so much money and like. Well I've just told Ben about my

19:28dilemma with my glowy ice cube thing. Yours still tastes nice. It does taste amazing. But what did

19:33you get? The Minute Maid with raspberry. Oh it just tastes like pure alcohol. It's horrible.

19:40That is horrid. Only after it I saw that they did Captain Morgan's and Frozen Coke. That's what I

19:45thought you were getting because we've had that before. We have had that before but I thought this sounded

19:48amazing. It's like it should be amazing. Oh no. So they made raspberry. No Benji's cocktail was so bad that I told him

19:54just to bin it and get to one of these. You know what? I have had a really great day. I don't want

19:59to put the little cocktail dilemma on a downer. I wanted this trip to be at a slower pace and just

20:05to do things like leisurely. It hasn't really been that actually. We've been quite busy. It's been

20:10full on. Our feet are starting to ache. And I'm excited for Benji to be playing golf in the next

20:16couple of days. He's gonna love that. We saw this little hack on Instagram. When everyone goes left

20:21or right to exit the park, you can go through the middle and exit over a little bridge. Oh it's a

20:28bit wobbly. That's a good hack isn't it? I like that one. A few hours later we are now ready for

20:33dinner. Benji's got the cutest shirt on. I can't actually remember which shop but it was here. I

20:37actually have no idea either but I love it. Oh um is it not it's not sort of Creations in Epcot. Oh

20:44anyway look how cute it is. Got all different characters. We've been wanting to get you a nice

20:48Disney shirt for a while haven't we? I've been saying for years that I don't have anything to wear. Yeah so cute. I am wearing this nice dress with a denim jacket

20:58because it gets a bit chilly in the evenings and I wanted a break from trainers so I've got my

21:02sparkly Havianas on and haven't used this coach bag yet so as I only need a phone and a camera

21:08and a purse. Got it. You have the Kindles in your pocket. All right come on then let's go.

21:14We are at a good point in the book. We have booked a Lyft. We switched between Uber and Lyft but I

21:19sometimes find Lyft has better prices. I just switch between them. I'll leave my referral

21:26thing I think I can generate in case you haven't downloaded Lyft because that's the one we've used

21:30pretty much the whole time isn't it? It's ten dollars and I just couldn't be faffed with getting

21:36a bus to Magic Kingdom and then taking the monorail one stop so I just figured we'll just

21:40Lyft there because we did it the other night didn't we? We've arrived at the Contemporary Resort

21:45and down at the end on the ground floor where the lobby is is Steakhouse 71. It's a really beautiful

21:52restaurant. It's fairly new. It is again on the pricier end but that's what you expect. I think I

21:59am going to go for the chopped salad. I was torn between the iceberg wedge but I think I like the

22:05sound of everything in there. Benji's thinking onion rings and then I'm gonna have the fillet

22:10steak. This salad is so big that I probably could have had that as a whole main. It is huge but I'm

22:17very grateful because sometimes I just really crave some veg and some freshness and Benji's got

22:24the onion rings which is also a veg. Vegetables, some onion. You can have some of my salad. It's

22:30huge. I am saving the rest of my salad to enjoy with my main but we've both got the fillet steak

22:37with the potatoes and the steak special sauce I think it's called isn't it? You've got the same.

22:44Delicious. I loved my salad. Loved it and I loved my steak. It was so soft that I barely needed a

22:51knife at all. You could just break it with your fork. Beautiful. Didn't love the sauce but that

22:57was just a personal preference. It was a bit like tangy for me and I didn't love the potatoes this

23:01time either. They were quite soft but I think for the quality and the price it's much cheaper to have

23:08a really high quality steak here than say obviously California Grill or Gco. That steak was good too

23:15but if I'm ranking I'd go California Grill, Gco and then Steakhouse71 but they're all very close.

23:20That steak was beautiful. Really good. Really good steak. There were just a few good things.

23:23The sauce was a little bit bolognese. Yeah I said tangy. It was actively nice but it didn't

23:31massively go with the steak. Yeah I agree. Seven and a half. I was about to say eight out of ten for me.

23:35Yeah it was good. Yeah I liked it. So now we're gonna go back to the room. So we'll see you again

23:40in the morning. Hello everyone. We are heading out to Epcot. It's quarter to two and this morning we

23:47had a lion. We had a very leisurely start to the day. Went to the Riviera for blueberry lemon

23:53pancakes and bacon. Very nice and then we popped to Walmart. Didn't like Walmart did we? We did not

24:00like Walmart. It was rubbish. It wasn't as good as Target so we couldn't find what we were looking

24:06for so we decided to whip to a Target as well. It was actually a mile down the road wasn't it? Yeah

24:11so we just did both. We're heading to Epcot first because we want to grab lunch, use our quick

24:15service credits. Oh the pool's open. I'd love a dip in the pool tomorrow. We want to go to the

24:23Moana journey of water thing that we missed the other day. I would like to get a brioche sandwich

24:28thing from the French pavilion which is only good on a hot day and as you can see that day is today.

24:34I'm wearing a strappy dress and shorts. Well it's got built-in shorts but I'm wearing it because

24:40it's nice and cool. It's like how 28 degrees did you say? 28 degrees yeah.

24:46Lovely. Not a cloud in the sky. It's really warm. 39 quick service credits left. I got told last

24:52night by a cast member that you can no longer exchange quick service credits for snack credits

24:58which is honestly out of all the little gripes I've had this trip the one that's really tipped

25:02me over the edge. Yeah same. It's annoying because you used to be able to convert one quick service

25:08meal into five snack credits. Was it five? Yeah it used to be. I thought it was two.

25:12No it was five and I thought maybe it would be down to two or three but no. We actually

25:18use more snack credits than we are using the quick service meals. We are going to maximise

25:23trying to use them over the next few days because we are actually going to Universal so that's less

25:27days to use them but this evening after we've done Epcot we're going to Hollywood Studios to

25:32go and see Fantasmic. We also haven't done Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway or Robin Roller Coaster

25:39thank you but we don't have Lightning Lane today so we're gonna see what the wait times are like

25:44and see what we're happy queuing for. Maybe some book time in the queues. Yes I love it when I

25:49filmed a whole segment of the vlog and then I've got something in my teeth. I love that. I am

25:53absolutely flabbergasted by this weather that we on the beginning of the trip were in four layers

26:01jeans, jumpers, coats, raincoats and now I'm in my like strappiest summeriest dress in January.

26:08Oh it's in braille and we're going over here that's where the journey of water is and it's

26:13by Moana so we have literally bypassed it all this time we've come straight through there

26:18we've been in here we've done the land we've done this side this is the only bit we haven't done.

26:24First stop at the back of the Italy pavilion this is Via Napoli the restaurant but next door

26:28they have a quick service hopefully get some pizza that's the plan. Just around the corner

26:34from the quick service is this little arch tiled area it's really cute. We got a slice of pizza

26:43each. We got a full pizza each. It's like a yeah it's like a small size pizza. It's like a kid's

26:49full pizza. Yeah plus a drink and these were meal credits which is what we want to be using

26:55Honestly so good. Cheers. Mine's amazing. Mine's like a blueberry slushy.

27:01I got a frozen red tangerine and it's very red winey.

27:09Oh yeah. Oh my god it's amazing.

27:15That hits. That really hits. I wonder if people from Italy think the same about the Italian food

27:24as we do about the fish and chips. That fish and chips is the worst thing I've eaten on Disney

27:29property ever. This though this is great. So we were just saying that yesterday we bought our

27:36cocktails our drinks but our quick service meal plan comes with a drink included and that does

27:43also include some alcoholic drinks. We should have yesterday used one of our many quick service

27:48credits to have got a meal even though we didn't want the food just to have got the free drink.

27:54We paid for those cocktails yesterday. That's so stupid. We've done that a couple of times as well.

28:00We have yeah. That's really stupid. That's a tip for you. Don't do what we do. In my head it feels

28:07like wasted food though. Well we wouldn't actually take the food we'd say just keep that. Yeah that's

28:12true. We could have just said we don't want the food. We are making many mistakes this trip. I

28:16hope if you've been watching this far you're actually taking note. Okay. So here's the restaurant.

28:23This is where we picked up our pizza and just to the left in here they've got this little courtyard

28:27and it's all tiled and there's little ledges so you can sit and eat your pizza. Look how cute that

28:33top is. Looks like those are stickers. It does doesn't it. I just don't like the fact it's grey. That's cute.

28:38They've got some really nice ones. Oh $25 each. Oh they're normally $30 or $25 you buy two.

28:43Okay that one's really cute too. The yellow. Walt Disney World the most magical place on earth.

28:48That's very cute. Don't like yellow though. I haven't seen this this low. 15 minute wait for

28:52Mickey and friends. This is where you can meet Mickey, Minnie and then I was like Pluto or Goofy

28:57or whatever. Finally we're doing Journey of Water which is literally just an interactive water

29:02feature walk inspired by Moana. Let's get the picture. Oh it's fun to do something different.

29:08Something new. It's true though isn't it. The water connects us all. Sky, ocean, river, lake, land,

29:13spring, wetland, stream, rain and it all goes full circle. Oh it's so pretty. You touch the strings of

29:21water. Oh it makes a noise. Oh so each segment like each section is a different area so this is stream

29:31now and the last one was rain. Oh that's cute. You wave in front of it and bits of water. They've

29:36basically been creative with water like it does make sense. It's got a storytelling element to it.

29:43Oh my goodness.

29:48Well I'm obviously going to go to the dry path.

29:52Oh and this was the bit I was waiting for. Look Te Fiti.

29:59Wow she's so beautiful. They've done an amazing job. Absolutely love it. There's a section over

30:06there where you wave your hands up and it does like a wave like an ocean wave which is really

30:10cool. We're at that point in the trip where we're both feeling quite content with everything we've

30:15achieved. You will never be able to do everything on a Disney trip but I think if you have your sort

30:22of priorities in mind and focus on those then you'll have a great time. There are still lots

30:27of rides we haven't done and I do have some lightning lanes lined up for us for Magic Kingdom

30:33and I do actually have some for here because we do have a reservation at Le Cellier in a couple of

30:39nights time. It's like just after our Universal days but I'm not sure if I want to keep the

30:45reservation or not. I'm like umming and ahhing it mostly because we've had some really lovely steak

30:49meals and we have eaten there before but I know Benji really loves it. I'm gonna play it by ear. I

30:53think I can cancel 24 hours in advance. I'm excited to have a bit of a chill day tomorrow like proper

30:59chill because we've had like half day chills and this morning was a bit of a half. It's now four

31:04o'clock. I still want to get my brioche sandwich thing from France. It's so good and then we'll

31:12take the Skyline over to Hollywood Studios. Fantasmic is a priority and Rock and Roller.

31:16Rock and Roller is temporarily closed still which is not ideal. The last stop of the day is the

31:23French Pavilion and this is one of my favourite little hidden gems. It's called Artisan de Glace

31:29and it's a little ice cream shop in the back here. They obviously sell ice cream but the

31:34absolute golden gem of an item is the warm brioche ice cream sandwich.

31:47All righty here we go. I'm very excited about this. I went for mint chocolate.

31:52We've got it inside and the brioche bits warm. Yay! We have decided to get on the Friendship

31:59boat to the Boardwalk. We can walk down there but we just figured this would be a nice little

32:05option. So we've decided we're going to get off at the Boardwalk, have a little look around

32:11but this boat takes 25 minutes. It goes all the way to Hollywood Studios. Did you know that? I

32:14had no idea. I'm not gonna lie. No I didn't. We are at the... If you hear any snoring, mind your own business.

32:21Mind your own business. We are at the Boardwalk. I stayed here back in 2022 and we haven't actually

32:27been in the hotel together have we? So I thought we'd come down here. We were going to go back to

32:31the room and I'll be honest I have regrets for not going back to the room. We're in some rocking

32:35chairs. We've got our books and we're on the like first floor so you can see the lake. You can see

32:43all the people passing. We've got some nice ice cold water. Fantasmic is also on at eight o'clock

32:50and nine thirty and it's only half five. You can just see the sun setting. It's so lovely in there

32:55but they've got a fire going downstairs and they're just setting up for a cinema. I will say

33:01the Boardwalk all up at night is such a vibe. It's so beautiful and Benji and I were just talking

33:07about how we've never been to Jelly Rolls which is over there. It's kind of like a vibey evening.

33:13I don't want to call it a nightclub. I'm not even sure if it is that but it's just like a great

33:18place to go to have a drink. We had that on our list of things to do this trip but we haven't

33:22managed to get there yet. Mostly because we're too tired at the end of the evening. It was still

33:27pretty light when we left wasn't it? We've only been on the boat for 15 minutes. It looks like

33:31we've been on there for three hours. It was such a nice journey. We read our books. We're 70% in

33:36now guys. We're nearly there. 76% I think. You can use a snack credit on a Mahoosive Starbucks.

33:44Do I need this much coffee? No but obviously I'm gonna get that much because it's included. So I

33:50got a chai latte with a shot of vanilla which is one of my favourite drinks at home and we always

33:55give Ben as the name just because what's the point in trying to spell out mine. So see how it goes.

34:01Your performance enhancing coffee. This is performance enhancing coffee yes.

34:08We've joined the queue and we've got our books out and Brogan said oh it's shadow daddy time

34:13and I go well I can't really say it's lightning mumma time. It's not really the same. It doesn't

34:20have the same ring though. It's a working progress we'll think. Oh it's been so long since we've done this.

34:28The wall is so clever. How it changes. The screen changes into that wall. It's so good.

34:49It's the wildest ride in the countryside.

34:58Welcome dancers welcome.

35:08One two three one two three. Let's colour.

35:28So our strategy is because there's two showings of Phantasmic we figured that most families

35:40or like people with kids obviously they're all gonna go at the eight o'clock showing

35:43whereas we've had a Red Bull coffee we're caffeinated but we figured we're better off

35:49doing the 9 30 show and seeing if the wait times come down before any of you scream and shout us

35:55Muppets 3D. We're not we're not doing Muppets. We don't care about this show. I don't care that

36:01it's going. This will be the last time it looks like this because they're getting rid of this

36:04whole land to make room for Monsters Inc but the Muppets is still going to be here at Hollywood

36:09Studios because they're moving to join Rock and Roller Coaster which Benji's thrilled about.

36:15Our strategy has failed because

36:18because Rise is just going up. It was 35 it's now up to 45 and we feel like it's probably just

36:26gonna climb. I feel like everyone's got the same idea as us. That ride is so good like so epic

36:35it ticks loads of boxes. I absolutely love it so it was worth the wait but it did take 45 minutes.

36:41The tech, the movement, the jolts, the projection is so good. The whole theming in there is amazing.

36:47I must say it's definitely better first time when you haven't been long there for a while

36:52but I think you just notice different things on the second time yeah you're trying to absorb more

36:55of it whereas the first time's like the wonderment. It was very good. We forget that the ride takes

37:01around 10 minutes to complete as well with the three shows so it actually took around an hour

37:06total but I was quite happy reading my kindle in the queue yeah but it is nine o'clock now which

37:12means we've got no time to go and eat which is rookie of us. We thought we might be able to get

37:17everyone to wrap before the park closes. The park closes at nine but Fantasmic's at half nine so

37:24basically you can't do anything else in this park now the only thing you can do is Fantasmic's. We

37:28have got the goods or Brogan's gone to go and get the goods. I used our final two snack credits on

37:32some churros. My job was to snag the goods for which I think I've done. You've done a good job.

37:38Banger right. A journey beyond your wildest imagination.

38:32All I've got to do is jump.

39:02All I've got to do is jump.

39:32Oh

39:57Guys we've got a major major problem. We made the mistake.

40:01We made the mistake of cutting through the gift shop and we just both of us went oh what is that?

40:06Is that not the most gorgeous lounge fly ever?

40:08I am fully behind the lounge fly ban but that is that could be an exception. Oh no guys.

40:15That would go with so many outfits as well. I like this one in particular because all their

40:19characters. Yeah they're so prominent. I'd love to jokingly blame Brogan on this but

40:24I'm fully in support of these purchases. We've seen quite a few things this evening that we

40:29haven't seen before. I've not seen this. That's cute. Imagine if you're a little girl. That'd be

40:33so fun. Or a big 30 year old girl making bracelets. One of the viewers we met was wearing this and I

40:40thought oh. It is nice. It's very nice. Yeah it is. It's simple but it it just works doesn't it?

40:47But you don't wear the Disney t-shirts now. Hate to be a party pooper but you're you're

40:52welcome to get it. It's actually a nice material. Very nice material. Too big. Too big. It is too

40:58big. It's drowning you yeah. This is the new Cinderella collection celebrating 75 years of

41:04Cinderella. These are new ears. I actually quite like these. I think they look very Epcot though

41:10don't they? This is plastic. $40 so they're a little bit more than some of the others and we

41:14haven't had the chance to say but obviously we love Fantasmic. It's a classic. It is so so good.

41:20We're gonna have a day off tomorrow guys from vlogging from everything. No parks. You're just

41:24golfing. Disney golf. I'm so excited. We will come back in our final Disney vlog and tell them a bit

41:29more about that. Yeah how how great I was. Our next vlog will be a universal one. A bit of a bumper

41:36vlog. So make sure you stay tuned for that. Subscribe if you haven't already. Thank you

41:39so much for watching and we'll see you in the next one. Bye. Love you. Bye.
