We start out our Moooorning at the Art of Animation quick service, with me picking up some pasteries and filling up our resort mugs. From there, we board the Disney Skyliner at the Art of Animation & Pop Century station. We change at the Caribbean Beach station, to carry-on to Epcot's International Gateway.
At Epcot, we enjoy some of the Christmas decorations, the 50th Anniversary statues, the new Epcot welcome fountain/flags, as well as the jolly Christmas music. Other new additions include a look at the new Creations Shop replacing Mouse Gear and the newly relocated Club Cool.
Around the World Showcase we ride Frozen Ever After and The Three Cabreros, as well as dine in Via Napoli in the Italian Pavilion. We visit some of the merchandise stores in Italy, Germany and Mexico and give our first impressions of the Harmonius barges. Additionally at Epcot, we ride Living with the Land, Test Track and the NEW Remy's Ratatouille Adventure in the expanded France pavilion.
After Epcot, we take the Disney Skyliner over to Disney's Riviera Resort for a look around the lobby, the shop and to possibly dine at Primo Piatto. Ultimately, we end up making our way back to the resort for dinner at the Art of Animation quick service. Back at the resort, we share our thoughts on the modified housekeeping services before turning in for the night.
Tune in next week for a look at Disney Vacation Club (DVC) and Disney's Animal Kingdom.

I wish Gary C really was a professional plus one travel friend...I would love to travel with someone so fun. Breaking into song, trying fun drinks, all of it.
Well actually it would be best with both of you as tour guides! Package deal!!!❤❤❤
Love you both 💓
Please be my friend I want this so bad 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can we rent a gary?
Even if they don’t change the sheets, they should still make the bed.
Great video!
Agreed!!
Totally agree you pay enough to stay there the last thing you need after a day in the parks is to come back to a messy room and unmade beds I’d flip
Totally agree!
Sunday isn't Sunday without a bit of Adam and Gary!
It’s Mondays for me in Australia…
Love Epcot! Frozen Ever After is a classique now! ☃️
Gary you Darling are an Amazing, wonderful ❤ person! Thank you for the Laughter and your sense of humor! Merry Christmas 🎅 Darling!
Your just an a salute icon👑
I love it when Gary said he was more constipated and bloated. Gave me a good laugh 😂
I wouldn't even mind the non changing of the sheets, but would appreciate the bed at least made!! Such a fun day as always guys!!
Make it yourself
@@disneysarah32 it’s not their job, it’s housekeeping’s responsibility, you don’t go on a vacation and pay all that money to cleaning your own room, throwing trash away and not have clothes lying around everywhere, sure
Whenever I take a picture now I always say “picture, picture!” Thanks to Gary C😂 Really love your vlogs, they never fail to make me smile✨
I say the same thing! 😂
I do the same.. my husband just looks at me like where you got that saying from 😄
🤣😂🤣😂 Gary’s reaction to the drink from China made me laugh so so much. Adam this is exactly the type of thing I do to my friends. Have done it with friends and Beverly. 🤣😂🤣😂. Hahaha.
Gary C. Now that’s a villain for me: cute, relatable, wicked smart.
Pretty sure i have been to the world of Gary... I like to visit it and say things out of no where that makes sense to me but no one else... Love ya Gary C and of course Adam!!!
We love the riviera and ease to Epcot❤️
Yes…Disney is totally taking advantage of the situation for less service for more money. If it wasn’t money they would offer other perks or discounts for lack of service.
The whip is my favorite part and has been since my childhood. I'm 53, darling! You guys make a long day of teaching (here in Orlando) much easier. I watch and rewatch. Both of your kind spirits are a blessing!!
Thank you Lisa! X
Hahaha, Gary the Disney villain with his side kicks, there's a blockbuster idea!! I'm with Gary, I'm never cold. Geepers, I missed that tea pot decoration completely. whoa, $50 for the pizza, that's a bit out of budget but sooo good! Boy, Gary does not hold back on merch reviews - tacky 😂 OMG, Adam tricking Gary into trying that plum drink was hysterical!! "Sortie", yes, loved hearing that 👏😂 Adam Hatton, Towel Toucher & Ultra Clean Machine 😂😂 Great vlog!
So glad you enjoyed it Brian! :)
Hopefully they bring back the Disney Dining Plan next year to make some of those food prices more palatable, pun intended.
5 star pun usage there Jose 👌🏼
@@josemedina5450 Yeah, the Dining Plan is part of the problem. It forced all the restaurants on property to make their menu conform to the Dining Plan price points.
I’ve been rewatching all vlogs, and love that Adam is still kinda hyped about Nuimos and their clothes in this vlog. Just wait pre-Little Mickey-Adam, you’ll be sick of Nuimos very soon!
😂😂😂
I would have to get sheets from housekeeping to change them myself. At least every other day. 10 days with no linen change is ridiculous when it costs so much to stay. Otherwise, loved the vlog, thanks.
I’m more heavily constipated and bloated than that 😂😂 Gary you never fail to make me laugh out loud!
I’m rewatching this series because I am going to Disney World soon and I am laughing so hard at Gary singing “hello from the other side” in the odyssey pavilion and Adam going “STOP IT”😂
I truly love these guys they have the best friendship and the just seem like really nice genuine people.
Literally nearly spat my tea out laughing and had to rewind a few times to check Gary C said “Tacky stuff” through a mask and not something else 😂😂😂
Gary’s reaction to the Plum drink at Club Cool 🤣🤣
We’ve stayed at Riviera twice since reopening, and I adore it. Such a nice break from the parks, and if you get to the skyliner early they open the Epcot line early for riviera so you don’t have to wait for empty cars.
As far as the housekeeping, they won’t touch your sheets and it annoys me to death. I’ve been 7 times since reopening and it’s still the one thing that irks me.
Thank you for explaining your experience throughout the day, especially when that line felt claustrophobic. I never had an anxiety attack until I went on the finding Nemo ride in Disneyland, ever since then the lines in Disney has never been the same for me. Enclosing how you felt in line will definitely help me for my trip. Thank you and love your energy throughout your videos❤️
Living with the Land gives you your moment of zen for the day. And it’s even better during the holidays with all the lights
Just love you two and your Disney adventures….thank you for sharing….love and light xx🤗🤗
Sunday my fave day of the week, because i get my fix of Adam, Disney and of course Gary's shenanigans!!
The DVC housekeeping policy is similar, and not just in Covid times. It’s actually a huge reason I lean toward not buying DVC
Really? I had no idea. Thank you for sharing!
This was the perfect thing to come back home to after a very busy day at work. Thank you Adam and Gary for bringing us this piece of pure joy
This vlog is so nice and non-stressful,easygoing. I loved you both ways but this way is like a nice cup of tea. I'm glad you were able to extend out to do it this way. Each show makes me laugh and cry w joy. Sunday's can never come fast enough. You also teach me something new and I love it all! Your the best of the beest!!🐍 Happy Holidays Adam & Gary
Thank you for watching Debra 😊✨
@@adamhattanI stayed at SHADES OF GREEN as a Kid. It's a Hotel for MILITARY MEMBERS/FAMILIES. Its close to the Polynesian. Not run by Disney.
Can’t tell you how much I look forward to Sundays now and for the next couple of months! You two Are a pleasure to watch.
Well, I laughed out very loud at the 'more heavily constipated & bloated than that' nutcracker moment! ha :) You guys are just so much fun, you always lift my spirit ! Wow, the pizza looked fab at Via Napoli but a one-off treat at those prices! Club cool drinks-hilarious! :) Epcot looked amazing & The Riviera is just so stunning!! Thanks guys x
This was such a fun vlog!! Can’t wait to see what you decide about DVC! Thank you for all the lightning lane tips!
As someone who is currently isolating with covid I caught at work (I’m going to spend Christmas home alone) I totally understand why they’re reducing the time they spend in rooms. It spread like
wildfire at my work and it’s really impacted on resourcing. Granted, it would have been better if they’d been up front about it. Love your videos. They’re going to get me through the next 10 days! x
Get well soon Rachael. I’m glad the videos are bringing you some comfort x
I’m so excited to see you guys at Disney World!!
Omg I just found you!!! Love watching you and Gary lolol down the rabbit hole I go! 😂
We recently discovered your vlogs and after visiting many times its so refreshing to hear an up to date take on the current situation, thank you so much for the laughs and the information too - Hope you both have a Merry Christmas and happy new year
"Who can take a sunrise".....😊🌞
This vlog had me laughing out loud so many times…loved it!! Thank you both for once again bringing buckets of sunshine to us all!! Looking forward to Sunday already!!! 🎄♥️🎄
I love my DVC membership! I love watching your videos because Disney makes you so happy!
Ahh can't wait! I've been looking forward to this all week!! 😁👏
Hey Adam and Gary, I am fairly new to your Disney vlogs and I absolutely love them. You and Gary just give your honest opinion and are such a joy to watch. It's also giving me tips and tricks for when I will travel to Disney World as I would like to do it soon. Keep up the great work and I look forward to new vlogs in the future.
Ah yes, my weekly boost of serotonin
Gary when he sees the pizza " is this for real" 🤣 loving the vlogs guys! xx
You guys really make me laugh. I love watching you both, it makes my mornings.
Another wonderful video to brighten my Sunday . My favourite park as well. The world needs more Adam and Gary. I love the Art of Animation, we stayed there but staying in Pop Century next September another favourite. Can't wait to try the skyliner , looks so much fun. Do you two ever stop laughing, Gary is brilliant and so funny, no wonder Adam loves travelling with you. Sunday evenings are brilliant now we have something great to look forward to. Love you both. X
So awesome that you were once one of out international castmembers Adam. I've been a WDW AP the past 12 yrs so we may have crossed paths 😊 I miss having you guys here in our World Showcase.
this is one of my favorite adam and gary vlog so far! so good to see you guys back home :)
Another brilliant vlog! Thanks guys, we were glued to it!! x
Love Via Napoli one of our must do restaurants when at epcot. We always get the back room viewing the plaza. So happy to see the two of enjoying yourselves. Gary doing the Liza Minelli wonderful
Excellent! So nice to have you both back. Really useful information about changes and charges that pop up. Thank you x
Adam's smile lights up every room❤
Story!! You said you associate yourself with Meeko, and I need to share this now.
My first Disney trip wasn’t until I was 26 (because we were broke), BUT my aunt and her family went regularly. Later in my grandma’s life, they started taking her as well, and she would bring back little gifts for all dozen of her grandkids. Once, before one of the trips, she asked me who my favorite Disney character was, so she could get me a gift. I excitedly told her it was Meeko.
This was easily five or so years after Pocahontas had come out. Just long enough to be sidetracked by other films but before it was a full blown nostalgia classic. Needless to say, Meeko was not prevalent in the parks at that time.
I didn’t know this, though, because my grandma dutifully brought me back a Meeko pin, and I was thrilled.
Years later, a while after grandma was no longer with us, my aunt let me know how determined she had been to find me anything with Meeko. They scoured the gift shops, but my grandma would not let it go until they finally found that pin. My aunt also still to this day sends me a photo any time they run into Meeko at a character meet, as he reminds her of both her mom and me.
There’s a lot of languages of love, and both “determined to find your granddaughter’s favorite character” and “determined to push your mother in a wheelchair all over Disney World to find your niece’s favorite character” are very unique and special, and I am so grateful for both of them.
Thank you for sharing a beautiful story, I loved reading it!!
Just LOVE these long format videos!!!
Went in 2019 to Art of Animation. They were trialling no mouse keeping then, we got some money back for selecting it, and they basically left our room alone, with a linen change half way through our 14 day stay. They would do it whenever we wanted though. Not surprised they are now doing something similar as standard… agree it’s a bit much, when you’re spending so much to be there!
I remember seeing this in vlogs! I bet it was the start of phasing out!
I love that your vlogs are long! i really feel i get a to see a more realistic perspective of your day! I can't wait to see how your DVC tour goes. We did ours and signed the line in 2009. It will be interesting to see how that has changed. As always thank you for sharing your joy and friendship!! 💜
My favourite weekly vlogs! Loving the over your clogs aswell ❤️
Gary is glowing in this vlog. I'm so happy to see him happy. 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍 🐍
so glad to see you and gary are back!! this is amazing and love you both
The drink tasting still cracks me up! 😂
This series is just the best 😍
Love, love, love your vlogs!❤️❤️❤️They are the best!!!!
Another wonderful vlog. I look forward to every Sunday to see the new adventures of Adam and Gary. Love Love Love watching. This is my second watch of this episode.
Thanks for watching and re-watching Patricia 😊
Still catching up with these and just love them - thank you for sharing your adventures - you guys are a total tonic 🥰🥰xx
Club Cool - priceless. And what a wonderful full day. Thank you for sharing.
I can't believe it's been 30 years since I was at Disney World! I was there at this time of year, when the park was 'Celebrating 20 Magical Years' - still have the hard cover souvenir book.
I've been many times to Disneyland in California including 2 New Years Eve nights and also have the hard cover books from the The First Quarter Century and The First Thirty Years - Tokyo Disney when it first opened.. My all time favorite place? over at the old 'Bear Country' - under the wooden railway bridge with it's North Woods pine forest at Christmas, beautiful big red velvet bows everywhere, and the smell of the big pines was intoxicating.. I remember it all.
Disney really is Magical! 🏰🎄💗Thanks for all the vlogs! 🦘
Adam and Gary your vlogs are amazing! Best youtuber out there! See ya soon for the vlog!
Great video, thank you for the magic!
This is one of my favorite times of the year to visit Walt Disney World. The first week of December is usually pretty low crowds. My very favorite is mid to late January. I love you guys!
I love watching your vlogs re watch them all the time. Love you both!
SO EXCITED!!!!
Thank you so much for these vlogs, you two bring so much joy and happiness into the world! I've lost count of how many times I watched your old vlog series over the last 2 years and they still make me smile every time so having new content is wonderful! Also Gary's ears in this are absolutely incredible, possibly my favourite I've ever seen
Thank you! I bought them from HannahMarieMagic on insta :)
I love the friendship the two of you have 💕 thank you for taking us along on your Disney magic holiday our trip in Oct/November got cancelled like many others so it's great to experience it through your vlogs xx
I hope you're able to get back to the magic soon Donna! Thanks for watching ✨
I agree with you about the Mousekeeping. It was so hot when we were there 12.4-10 and though we did take a rinse off before bed we didn’t like the sheets not being changed and they brought in towels and set them on the back of the toilet! Nasty. One of the perks staying on site is coming back to a nice clean room. The fine print is way too fine that details the cleaning ( or non cleaning) policy!
I’ve had my dvc since 2003 (Saratoga springs is our home resort) and it’s the best decision we’ve made. We have stayed at a lot of the resorts! We were supposed to stay at Riviera and grand Floridian last September but unfortunately we couldn’t get into the country! We used to come twice a year before we retired now it’s just once ! Good luck with your decision! Stay safe ! Loving the vlogs
“Ooh Mariah Carey’s out” I literally just died, choking on cornflakes 🤣🤣🤣 DECEASED
Darling.. I laughed 😅 🤣 so hard throughout this Amazing post! 👏 BRAVO you 2 are always on point with your Love of life and fun!... THANK you for showing the shops and your thoughts on everything!. Adam and Gary THANK you both for great times! BLESSINGS and Love.. and always to The Whole world 🌎 🙏 Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄 ❤
T here from Texas. Love y’all’s vlogs. I have a trip planned in April 2022 with my daughter, son in law and 3 grandkids. Y’all have explained a lot and I’m soooooo excited about my trip. Can’t wait to see day 4. Keep up the good work. Love the vlogs 😍😍😍😍
Love your videos, you 2 have such an amazing friendship 💕 I understand the not changing sheets daily, but I still feel like it should be every other day or an option to have them done regularly.
loved this. Sundays with you two are my fave x
My border collie is mesmerised! She hasn’t moved from the tv since we put you on! Love, love, love, as aye! ❤️❤️❤️
Another really enjoyable vlog! Epcot is my favorite park as well, so I especially enjoyed this. I've encountered the lack of housekeeping services in other hotels in the past year, so that probably wouldn't have come as a surprise to me, but I agree that for the cost of the rooms, they really could do better. Thank you for giving your honest opinion! Looking forward to next week's vlogs - this is the highlight of my Sundays!
So pleased you enjoyed the vlog Elizabeth 😊. Always want to give our honest opinion so you have all the facts prior to your trip ✨
So excited can’t wait 🥰🥰🥰
Gary C - and Adam love to have you both as travel companion what a hoot we’d have xxxx
Havent watched the vlog yet but i forgot its sunday and im so glad it is! I went through something terrible last night and was watching your vlogs to cheer me up. Im so happy right now💕
Thank you for bringing me Joy 💞
You guys make my day every time I view your vids. Keep up the great work you two! :)
Merry Christmas
Happy Christmas to you and yours Traci! Thanks for watching 😊
Gary has a lovely singing voice.
I've been waiting all week for this and I was not disappointed, that pizza looked a bad boy but when you said the price I was gob smacked lol, omg Gary is just hilarious with what he comes out with, I just love you guys and I'm so glad I've stumbled upon you both, can't wait for your next vlog, just want to wish you both a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year, stay safe guys.xx
I make myself a hot cup of tea and settle in with the vlogs. Been to WDW, Epcot etc, about 25x with the family. These vlogs take me back….thanks guys xx
Merry 🎄
🎄 💜 Love from Toronto, Canada 🇨🇦
The land took me right back 😊 reminds me of the old Epcot and my first trip there in 92 ! great to see all the new attractions and love your honesty with reviews . Hope the Dvc tour went ok ….. my last trip there in 2018 we got talked into a tour a special half hour …… it ended up 90 mins the sales woman was amazing she could sell anything ….. when you add it all up I don’t think it would suit many people and it’s $$$$$ …. but we did have a nice private car from Disney springs … free refreshments … ice cream afterwards and a $100 gift card each …. So worth the detour 👍😏
Liza with a Z! I've been a fan of hers since I watched her win her academy award for Cabaret ...yes the donkey would definately call me old 😆 Keep singing Gary because I would love everyday to be the Gary Show 😊💗
Yes highlight of my day💕
I love you both soo much lol! every Sunday there's a new Disney vlog I tell my husband brb im going to watch MORNINNNGGG and he knows exactly what im talking about haha
I am new to your vlogs and I am so happy I found you. I have binged watched the WDW vlogs when everything shut down and the cruise on the magic.
Watching whilst eating lunch at work. love traveling virtually with you guys.
Absolutely love your clogs! I always look forward to seeing the two of you together 💗 also about the housekeeping, I’ve heard that another potential reason that they aren’t doing as much is issues with not having enough staff so that could also be part of it.
That set up with the drink for Gary was hilarious. Had to watch it back so many times.
I have been looking forward to the Epcot vlog!
Loved the tour of Epcot. I understand your disappointment in the room cleaning changes. I've always expected the best from Disney and that would include transparency of their offers.Thanks for the video.
Merry Christmas to you and Gary. Have a wonderful time. Xx
Another great vlog. Have a very merry Christmas! 🎄🧑🎄❄️
