Things I'll miss when Splash Mountain closes | Disneyland 05-25-2023

freshly baked tomorrow we got a reservation for this Thursday morning and I decided Well I'm in the mood for a little rope drop hello guys good morning it's been a while since I've done a proper rope drop here at Disneyland and uh because I love the rope drop scene I love the energy I love the excitement I love the anticipation and all the positivity comes out here you just know you have to wait in one of those groups you know you have your Space Mountain group you have your Peter Pan group, you have your resistance group and you have your Indiana Jones group, which group are you going to be?

You have to choose one of those and that's where you're going to start your day today, I think. We're going to get into that promotion group right there, but we're not going to continue the promotion and resistance today. I think I want to spend a little time at Splash Mountain. The clock is ticking, as we mentioned in our last construction update. The clock is ticking for this to close, we're less than a week away and I don't know how many more opportunities I'll have to get footage and coverage to ride Splash Mountain, so that's our goal today.

Document that bride, do it once, maybe twice, who knows, and then see what her day takes. Foreigner from generation to Generations. Good morning, yes, there really is something about dropping the rope. Be here

when

the park first opens. Be here

when

things

start. You know, come to life. It's so weird that you know you can't see the park in these conditions because it won't be long before

things

get crazy and out of control, but you last about an hour and it feels like the park. It's almost here, so you can do whatever you want, it's lovely, by the way, you'll notice that there are a handful of guests that have come this way and they're not going to

splash

.

I bet there are some people who take this route to Galaxy's Edge, which is incorrect. I'll go ahead and just say that now, as we head towards Splash Mountain, you want to go on the border trail, the Big Thunder Trail, although there are more guests , it seems like you know it's more congested and this is less. Congested, you're entering from the wrong angle into Galaxy's Edge and end up having to walk the entire length of the climb to the stamina queue when it starts to form and on a normal day that queue will stretch from the entrance of the climb to get to the market, more or less, so you're backwards, there go the homeless people who take this path right here.

I'm going to go ahead and run there real quick because I want look what it looks like this morning look how valid my observation is on this day because it's been a minute since I broke, I fell, resistance increases, I'm not even going to get there. I didn't get the record, but I've never been to The Cantina Caster here. telling people getting up nearby The climbs didn't even open so let's reverse course and start our morning, look this is precisely why you don't go down the rope, go up, this is exactly like that because now all those guests that are hiking right, all those guests that are hiking the Frontierland Trail with everything they know, anxiety and anticipation are going to be sorely disappointed, man.

I mean, you can get there that way. You can find this quote at other attractions. Space Mountain sometimes not. Open up, you know, or Indiana Jones Choose wisely I guess so, so we'll start with our morning at Splash Mountain. I'm trying to fill the trunks of one of those canoes. I don't know. I'll get this hold signal right here. Foreign. m I'm going to

miss

this, this part of the queue will not be used. I don't think if I remember correctly looking at the model of the updated attraction, I don't think this queue is going to be used or this part should let's say or maybe they will, I'm not sure, but I know they're going to reuse all of this down here, everything that will become an extended queue down there, which I mean, that has to go, which makes me sad, some of these things have to go. see, they stick with the rock, you know, the texture of the rock wall, um, thanks, manifesto, that's what we know, how we do it, um, I'll get you, that was the jarring thing.

Well, I was able to make two quick trips there, both times, virtual, well, first. It's a second time walk-in, a little less and now when I come out of the attraction and look I can see they're starting to build up there on the bridge where the train goes over, it's still moving quite a bit. Fast, but with every 15 minutes that goes by, things get a little busier, yeah, okay, now they're parked. I turned around, they were moving now they are parked so I shot it from both sides and I got two shots. one type normally but favoring the right and then another right just went completely to the left thinking that they could be putting things because this is for a before and after in the future they could be putting things on the left that weren't there. before because there is a lot of empty space on the left.

I may have one more trip left today. I'm not sure because I'll be back obviously on the 30th or whatever day it is, but maybe also one more time before then, uh. So I'm going to take this quiet moment right now to document all the surrounding areas and see how, because there's going to be more than just changes to the attraction, they're going to change, you know, like I pointed out before like this, you know? What was it before the express station? Which is now the solar parking lot, but they're also going to change a lot in the area, so I want to make sure I have this covered.

I'll give you some highlights here and there and then, uh, then the day takes this after that, trying to get as many shots as possible, as much variety as possible here at the front of the attraction because I hope there's quite a few changes here, it will be this. It's probably the most drastic thing you're going to see here and it's going to happen in all areas, not just not just on the

mountain

, but you know, like Briar Patch, what's going to happen with Briar Patch. I don't know what will happen with that. Lift Hill to the barn section, the grass areas, uh, there are spaces here where there is nothing and they're going to put what it's called.

I mean like the water tower, so there may be cases where there are things that we're seeing in the frame now that may not make it into the final product, you know, Tiana's final bio-adventure and there will be spaces where there won't be anything or a lot where they will end up putting something else like the water tower, what is going to happen to Briar Patch? Certainly, uh, I guess it's possible, there could be a grass-roofed structure in the future. Tiana's Bayou adventure is certainly possible I suppose, but I feel like that store will require some sort of update.

I'm very curious, I'm not worried, I'm just curious to know what they are going to do. What is the structure of the trunk that you know? The light structure of the log cabin, because it is supposed to have grass, is like a hobbit. hole I've always wondered about I've always wondered why there is grass on the roof why there are carrots growing on the top of that structure did they? you know? You know? They built it somewhere on the hillside like a hobbit that hole exists and the Bayou, the Siri in the back of Critter Country is one of the areas that keeps me safest, it's so pretty, it's so beautiful, I love it, you know , I love how everything looks so natural and real. now it's not that they can't make something different that's also beautiful, but it's one of those cases where I hope to have a thinner skin, you know, like one of those light skins instead of a major overhaul to preserve this, you know a lot of it, it's just that the whole structure is so beautiful and pretty back here, the back of Splash Mountain is wonderful and you don't look at it much because people, you know, are busy doing other things.

You know they're trying to meet Winnie the Pooh or they're just passing through the line and don't really set their sights on it because they're in a hurry. You know they want these guys to go. The line right now is

miss

ing one of the most glorious creations they have here, uh, at Disneyland. I love this factory, the structure next door, the house, what's going to happen?, that little house that was once the opportunity station to take photographs of the walk. which they were also going to later turn into a sandwich maybe that's a future home because could they sell Beignets here?

No, it will make a lot of sense. It makes a lot of sense to start selling Beignets in that little house over there. I was about to leave the land of idiots. Back in the square in New Orleans and I thought, oh, the secret path. We talked about this a little bit and I like my fears that they might shut this down while they're, you know, remaking Splash. Mountain that you meet in the Tiana's Bayou adventure and then I go, oh my goodness, as I pass by here, I think: is it possible that they dared to touch this secret path?

It is one of the greatest creations you know. there are so many wonderful things about Splash Mountain I just hope they find a way to preserve this there is nothing absolutely nothing wrong with the secret path it didn't hurt anyone it didn't hurt anyone this is being wonderful closing here it's just perfect there are a lot of people who destroyed The Court of Angels and some of the newer viewers may not even know what I'm talking about, but when The Court of Angels left a lot of fans, a lot of guests took that. heart this would destroy me I don't think it's going to happen I'm not saying it's I'm just saying if it happened I mean I would it it would take me a long time to get over that it would take me a long time to get over it get over that the secret path is perfection well I'm done with our coverage from this morning from Splash Mountain oh, that's perfect, that's perfect, we're going to take this train rolling right here and we're going to go over Splash Mountain and then we're going to enjoy a little more of our day here perfect, oh my goodness, for those who are Join us, welcome aboard the Disneyland Railway to ensure a safe ride, please remain seated with your hands, arms, feet and legs inside the train and watch your children.

There is the revered Indian shaman sharing his stories with those in the Great River Valley beneath the foreign steam power ER Stagecoach not only powered these iron horses but the dreams of a whole new generation as it moved west toward this great Border, of course, some of those dreams and the stories that accompanied them were beautiful. Damn wild and downright awesome like in Big Thunder Mountains, where I heard mysterious spirits took over those mine trains and turned them into the wildest ride in the desert. Foreigners I would like to thank those of you who have been with me for the Grand Circle Tour of Disneyland.

We hope you enjoy Ed and come back to travel with us again in the USA. You are supposed to stop at the park exit, all the shops on Main Street and our Great Moments with Mr Lincoln show. At Disney Courthouse we'll be leaving here and just keep in mind that the station only has stairs to go down to the platform, it doesn't have a ramp, thanks for riding with us, look at that first pick, uh, uh, I love it here. I love photographing Main Street from the top of this train station, that Omnibus, although it looks quite tempting, well, I hope you have a little more room there for me, let's see, okay, on our right side we can see our tree Main Street theme.

At Town Depot, which is a gateway from France Station, you can also tell my boyfriend to take a big loop tour of Walt Disney's Magic Kingdom. We can also see some things here, we see suckers to our right and a mini coming to our right. Next to Minnie is right next to Mr. Lincoln's greatest moments. Mr. Lincoln was Walt Disney's favorite president, right next to France is our Mad Hatter, if he is in touch with any ears or places in Half-chester to stop and shop on the left road. on the front right if he gave me Street Walkers ready to store our belongings for their day of fun here in the park when I passed away we see the Coronation Cafe preparing an All-American menu where they put it that it is a Gibson girl or ice cream shop preparing some hand soups ice cream very excited, that's our Penny Arcade and all you need to support it is our Sweets Palace, all those sweets are made right before your eyes and that glass window you see there were some yellow curtains on the other side the way we see the silhouette Study on our right side friends the perfect little gift for you a friend or family member is one of the cutest things in my opinion that we have in the park on the right side where we are going to spend the Plaza Point Christmas Store are our year-round Christmas stores here in the parks, where you can get Christmas decorations in July.

If you look at your list, you will find the entrances to Adventureland and Frontierland, which will be our destination, friends, so I do. thank you for joining me on Main Street USA I do what I always want to say, sitting full and complete, we are parked and the engine has turned off once again, friends, please stay seated until we are completely parked and the engine has turned off. To my friends on the second floor, please be careful with your steps on the waydown. There will be one more big step at the end. I wish you all a great round to start your day today and spend the day here in the park.

You guys look so cool, that horse looks so cool, I wanted it, I wanted to buy a tram, but I don't have time for one more thing today and I think I'm going to go to the Tiki room. I haven't enjoyed the Tiki room in quite some time. Let's go see José, Fritz, Fifi and Colette. Hello, yes, attention. I have no idea so most likely it's actually something in the kitchen for a Tropical Hideaway and that's not the alarm bell for everyone because everything is connected here, it looks like they're clearing out now, they're also clearing out the Tropical Hideaway.

I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've come to this park in 100 years. It's the first time I've heard a real fire alarm while I'm in the park. I've seen them close things, but never. I've actually seen the videos, you know, the flashing lights and the alarm going off, oh thank you, thank you, oh my gosh, you can hear it here too, that must be disconcerting and I imagine probably Jolly Holiday too, right? share a? kitchen I think I know I'm chasing her I can't leave that Chaser and I hear the perfect remedy here we go memories and that's our show today everyone thank you for joining us stay tuned for more on Splash Mountain we'll be here Last day we covered that in detail probably We will be here.

I hope to cheat with ropes that day and then he covered the whole scene for us. It will be AC. It's going to be really exciting. Very busy. Very busy. Maybe we will. get a ride not sure I think I'm being caught by a very big horse right now I'm trying to get out of its way here we go. I'm looking forward to it, but I'm going to miss Splash Mountain. No, I'm pretty sure I'm going to love Gianna's body adventure because there's no reason they can't do that too, but man, there are some things about Splash that I'm probably going to miss, but anyway ya we will see. you on that day and in between thank you for taking care of everyone we love, be safe, be kind to each other, thank you
