We were NOT expecting to end up like this at Disneyland today..

that we love, Marcella Sweat and her team, helped design the set. She does all the black history. chalk art at Downtown Disney so it's been in a lot of our videos yeah it's really cool to see it come to life kudos to that team yeah and I can't say enough how cute the little mermaid is. I was literally crying watching her meet some of these kids, yeah, they're so happy to see her, thank God for the glasses

today

because your girl was crying excitedly, yeah. They normally have a couple different builds here for the characters but now they only have one for The Little Mermaid um so that's cool oh I know why the other builds disappeared because Toontown is open now and you can go visit Mickey and to all those guys over there because they have these here in the meantime, uh, but now there's the sign right there, look at that, that's amazing, no, what, what, yeah, comments, we're still going to go see it, but I still want to know what everyone has done, yes, and us.

I have a good reason to celebrate

today

Katie, do you know why that is true? She's 57 today she's 57. yeah it gets like a day at a time uh let's get a little closer I realized that the clock uh Mr. Mr. clock face Mr. Smallworth isn't uh he's not moving today , he will take a break on the anniversary, maybe it is because he is going to party tonight, he is sleeping, he is resting. I love how they make these topiaries here with the splashing water, whatever that plant is to make it look like. as you know, splashing water is cool and a star, yes it's cool, but unfortunately I don't think we're going to be riding

this

attraction today, yes, there's a bit of a long wait and, um, I'm still a bit soaked if you know, Dude, we're soaked, yeah, I mean, we kept most of our stuff dry, but it's enough to let you know how uncomfortable it is to walk that's how I feel.

Splash wanted you to remember that today would have been a good reel because where we went under the sea, that's right, we did. I could have explained my adventures to him, you know, it's, you know, what's cool is that the aerial setup is close to the lagoon over there, yeah, but I feel like it should be even closer, how cool would that be? if you have her by the lagoon, yeah, hi Ariel, like it's Gaga in the background, yeah, yeah, she's so cute, I just know how to cry, yeah, that was amazing. It's okay, wandering into fantasy land and it's not so bad.

We're really noticing the crowds today hey, how are you? It's good to see you, yeah, it's not so bad today, it's really um, I don't know. The monster must be devouring everyone. I guess I don't know what to say, but I mean, it's getting a little more. crowded here, I guess when you think about the fact that Splash only lasted 20 or 25 minutes, maybe it's an attraction that's like disappearing forever and it's Memorial Day weekend Memorial Day, it's its last days and you'd think that thing would be From start to finish super packed I don't know if it's just the weather but man it just doesn't seem like it's that packed maybe it's the higher ticket price maybe and maybe you know that It will get more crowded as the weekend progresses.

I don't know, okay, Red Rose Tavern, we showed you the scaffolding the other day, but now they have the graphic covered in it, which I love. Grim, I think whoever came up with

this

idea is great, it must be expensive, yes it's a giant printer. I guess if anyone knows that process, let me know because it's huge. I mean, it's great. Don't know. I love the graphic mesh. I love a good graphic mesh we did, yeah, yeah, and there goes Chad leading some people down Main Street. and then Here Comes Rex is that Rex Katie, I don't know, he has a Clydesdale look, who is that, oh, it's Maximus Maximus, oh, I haven't seen Maximus before, okay, that Maximus smell comes from there from Maximus, Geez, dude, what are they? you're eating while we're walking down Main Street USA we're uh I'm still thinking about Splash because I'm still wet first of all my shirt is still soaked um it's unreal um and then I was thinking about you know it's going to be over a year I think they said finals of 2024, so honestly I probably would have only ridden Splash one more time this year, if I'm honest, I just don't like getting soaked.

I love the attraction, but I just don't like it. get soaked, so you'll know after a while, she'll start saying oh man, I want to go to Splash because it's going to be so hot, I don't have to go to Grizzly River Run, but, uh, Katie. I won't do grizzly because it spins sadly but you get wet there um so maybe we'll do more Grizzly I don't know oh yeah, a good day's work accomplished, back to the barn, well that's it Splash Mountain uh see ya, bye, uh , that was fun, like I said, I've never been more soaked in any attraction, in fact, we really went out in style, like she really did and we saw Ariel from under the sea, so we did it for real, but it was all and so you know you got the happiest boat ride, the happiest cruise, yeah, today it was all water related without even trying, but honestly, we didn't, we didn't plan for that to be, you know, on the menu like that, but everything was related to water.

Yeah, it was great, I had a great time, but what the heck, anyway, I hope you enjoyed it. Like to comment, please subscribe, thanks to our patreons, thanks for watching and we'll see you next time on Best Life and Beyond, bye everyone. thank you
