  • In this Walt Disney World vlog, I check out and review the new Moana: Journey of Water walkthrough attraction in Epcot, ride some rides, soak up the vibes, and go hunting for some Disney merchandise deals at the Character Warehouse at the Premium Outlets on Vineland Avenue.
    I'm Adam Hattan, a family-friendly theme park and vacation vlogger from the United Kingdom who often vlogs the magic of Disney Parks. I love going to Walt Disney World, Disneyland and sailing with Disney Cruise Line! I hope you're ready to enjoy a whole new spooky halloween series.

    Waking up in my Standard King Tower Room at the Gran Destino Tower in Disney's Coronado Springs Resort, I show you in its most basic form, how to get your spot in the virtual queue for Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind, how to buy Disney Genie+ with the new park specific pricing and how to get a great first ride time for your day.
    It's then off to Epcot via the Disney Transport Service and the buses. With this, I explain the pitfall of Coronado Spring's size, and how best to navigate taking the bus, to make sure you get on and how to get a seat. Upon arriving at Epcot, I show the process of using the Early Entry resort guest perk, to get priority access to select attractions upto 30 minutes before park opening. I use this time to try out the new Moana: Journey of Water walkthrough attraction, and give you my review.
    Whilst in Epcot, I dine at the new Shiki-Sai: Sushi Izakaya table service restaurant with Brooke (@BBBrooke) and Tommy. I also ride Frozen Ever After, Grand Fiesta Tour, Spaceship Earth, Soarin' (over California) and Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind. I also show some of the new arrivals in the Connections Merchandise store.
    After Epcot, it's off to Disney Springs with Jessie, where we browse UniQlo, Basin, World of Disney, The Marketplace and Days of Christmas Store. From there, we take an Uber over to the Orlando Premium Outlets at Vineland Avenue. Here we check out Disney's Character Warehouse and show you some of the discounted Disney Parks merchandise. We then enjoy dinner at Cheesecake Factory and pick up some bits and bobs from Publix Supermarket.
    Coming up in this series, I'll be going to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party with the ever wonderful Jen Lefforge, Universal's Halloween Nights with Sam Mealy, Dale Evans and Jessie, as well as spending some time with my favourite Disney family: CheersEars. If you want to catch up on who my friends are, I recommend watching the following vlogs:
    Sam, Dale & Jessie: • Universal Studios Orla...
    Jen: • Disney Cruise Line Vlo...
    CheersEars: • Longest Disney World V...

    I met Adam this day at Epcot and he was an absolute GEM!! Thank you for taking the time to chat with me! It was surreal to see you in real life!

    Fun fact: the songs playing as you exit guardians are ones they tested out and rejected for use on the ride. Another amazing vlog-thanks for bringing us along Adam!

    The ‘copycat’ Disney store at the end had such nostalgia vibes for me. When I went to Florida in late 90s/early 00’s - it was they Disney stores on International Drive that we shopped in and I loved! As a child I didn’t know any different and it obviously saved my parents a fortune!

    We stayed in Animal Kingdom lodge last year for a week on honeymoon no daily house keeping and the price to stay there was eye watering. Then we moved to universal hotel on IDrive and had daily housekeeping. I agree disney need to up their game pandemic excuse is no longer acceptable and I likely won’t be booking on-site again until they bring it back! Love the vlog as always Adam 🤩 going DLP on Saturday and this is getting me in the disney mood 🥳

    You managed to sum up the magic of Disney and exactly why we all love it so much, but others who haven't experienced it just don't understand..this was a beautiful vlog thank you

    Now that we are in our 60's, we now look for the couples who are older than us and say yes we can still be enjoying Disney in our 70's and 80's. We will always have a place to stay (DVC) and our AP.
    Also I love Jessies Daisy ears and that she contined to wear them at the outlet store!! I have them also!!
    Looking forward to your next week vlog Adam!!!

      Yes, any age! My husband and I are 70 and 68 and we went to Disneyland last year! My knee slowed us down a bit, but it was such fun! We celebrated our 40th anniversary with buttons and cast members congratulated us!

    29:51 A tip going forward regarding your caffeine fix; a Crème Frappuccino means there is no caffeine in it. Ask for a mocha Frappuccino with chocolate chips next time 😉

    Your reaction to turning the lamp on had our entire family in stitches! It gave “when you check the price tag” vibes 😂

    I agree with you about Coronado Springs or any other resort in Disney not having housekeeping everyday especially if you have paid cash for your room. We are DVC also but we stay at the Hilton Disney Springs and Swan & Dolphin where they will give you the option.

    Re: The 50th celebration things sticking around longer than originally announced-
    This reminds me of how The Year of a Million Dreams lasted…quite a few years? Does anyone else remember that?
    And I agree with you that it’s nice to see Disney World in standard mode. I feel like I forgot what Epcot looks like when there isn’t a festival either going on or starting imminently😂

    Re: the housekeeping, I agree Adam. I stayed at Riviera this same week and for 6 nights we only had trash taken out every other day, and new towels on the 3rd day. Beds never made or changed for 6 nights.....and this was our DVC home resort.....Disney what you up to?

  • @ianbowden9496

    I understand your view on the 50th bits sticking around, but the statues are great fun to seek out and would be a waste left in storage. As usual, loving your pure enjoyment.

    Thank you Adam for pointing out the wheelchair accessible boat in Mexico. I’m always interested in the accessibility of rides because unfortunately I don’t have a knee anymore on my left leg. I had to have the knee fused so it stays straight and now I worry if I go to Disney I won’t be able to ride very many rides. I can walk and I don’t need a wheelchair but I might seriously consider renting one because it might make it easier to ride some thing like the boat ride in Mexico.

    Always love your videos. You have the same love for Disney parks as me! As a side note, Coronado Springs is only a moderate hotel which is why the housekeeping is only every day. The deluxe have the daily housekeeping. Value and moderate are every other day. Grand Destino Tower might feel like a deluxe hotel because of the interior entrances but you are paying way less than an actual deluxe.
