    I’m going to miss illuminations so much. My grandad bought the cd the first time we went to Florida in 2002, and the second times we visited after that, he always played that cd on the way to the theme parks! On our last visit in 2009 we went to Epcot for our last night and illuminations show played, we cried our eyes out haha! It will always remind me the times me and my family went to Orlando. I vow to go back one day with my boyfriend and my own family. Your videos always take me back and I thank you both for that!

    I am so happy they’ve banned smoking in the parks. As someone who has asthma, which is very irritated by smoke this makes me so thankful.

    3:52 how weird is it, that in English it's called a squirrel, and those eat acorns. But in Dutch a squirrel is Eekhoorn, but it's pronounced as you say acorn. Has almost nothing to do with the video, okay carry on.

    This was the day my daughter and I met Tim. He very kindly spent a little time chatting with us and then showed his expertise in taking photos with fans using my phone!

    That Japanese restaurant was definitely a visual experience! All your food was very pretty, and I must say for me nothing I've ever had before. You are right; doesn't look like a place to wander into after a sweaty day at the parks! I think I prefer a burger or a salad! lol

  • @onestopmouse7464
    @onestopmouse7464 5 років тому +1

    Nice find on the soft opening of the restaurant! I'd try the fans with some water mist or a cooling towel or something wet in addition to the blowing air. I usually wear a cooling towel, but it gets warm unless I'm adjusting it regularly, so the fan might help with that.

    maybe try putting on small cool wet towel to the back of the fan it might help. like get those towels that stay coo and cut them up into smaller pieces to fit around the back, or the front, and it could help keep the air coming through cooler

    I previously bought the fan (after you mentioned it in a previous vlog). I love it! With the heat and humidity we recently experienced in the Midwest (Ohio), it worked wonderfully while in the garden or sitting next to the pool during the fourth. And yes, there was a noticeable difference when you took it off! So THANKS for the idea!!!!! I'll be using it at our vacation home in FLA.

    Hi Tim! I'm a landscaper and have to work outside all summer in very hot weather. I use 'cooling towels' around my neck to keep cool. I find them to be the best, most practical thing for me to use all day. It also blocks the sun from the back of your neck. I buy them on Amazon. Hope you have a great day!

      Which brand do you recommend? Looking at getting some for our upcoming Disney trip.

    Epcot vlogs are the best vlogs.

    The most dad like thing Tim has said yet “They do look like the 3D printed ones that are very popular from the Etsy shops” 😂

    That restaurant was beautiful. I could see that being a special anniversary/birthday type meal

    To anyone interested in finding these for yourselves, their rock candy is called Konpeito! I bought some for my sister on our trip last time we went to Disney (they're in the Japan shop) and didn't realize how small they were! Much easier on the teeth to eat such small star-shaped crystals like that
