now it looks like a natural disaster happened here it's such a mess um yo i don't even know where to
go i gotta get out there i can't do this anymore no no i can't do it too many people i don't even
know where to begin with this video so much has changed in Orlando in the past week it is
straight up dumpster fire right now down here we have a lot to talk about in this video there's
new mass policies price increases what is the state looking like um how many cast members are
currently sick it's it's uh start with something a little lighthearted uh so first off we went to
disney springs i want to see if there's anything new you know we had to go visit chewie's thick
cheeks i found some interesting artwork with uh bruni and Olaf getting their freak on don't know
what's going on in that ear did find a really cool rocketeer painting though no new star wars merch
it's just pretty much barren with just those like statues that nobody's really buying they have a
new mickey lounge fly that's like a Mickey Waffle which i think is pretty dope then they have some
new little grogo ears which i think are pretty cool and it says the cutest bounty in the galaxy
and they got this pretty dope like pizza planet spirit jersey the shelves are all just pretty bare
and it just does not look good at all now what i'm about to show you is going to kind of shock you so
the new spirit jersey came out yeah i um i thought this was the wrong price at first yeah it says 120
for a freaking spirit jersey it's like just a long sleeve t-shirt pretty much 120 that's almost
the price no that pretty much is the price of a full day park ticket to go visit the disney parks
that's the people are paid for spirit jerseys now like when i came down here and started living here
i think spirit jerseys were like 40 or 50 bucks not a hundred and twenty dollars when they're
right mine can afford that yeah pay your rent or uh buy its spirit jersey come on wait wha what
are you gonna do um the prices didn't stop there you know we have the thousand dollar ears you know
that we've seen now they have new little lounge fly bags that cost pretty much 300 then they have
a hoodie that costs 150 a hoodie for 150 and then they have matching sweatpants for a hundred and
thirty dollars what type of world are we living in uh also keith had his first gideon's cookie ever
now today keith what is about to happen i have some cookies keith has never had a gideon's cookie
you haven't lived until you've had a gideon's cookie here we go it's just
as sugary as a gallon of apple juice you just bite it just a big old womp out of it
i'm thinking long and hard about this it's a cookie what it's more than a cookie it's an
experience it's a lifestyle okay the next little part of the video um we're gonna be talking about
uh there's a new mask policy at universal studios none of the other theme parks on the area have
changed their policies universals have you know they kind of went back to how it used to be kind
of so when we refer to we can't say the actual name because we'll get the monetized we'll just
call the certain variant going on we'll just call it cardi right so the cardi cases are are
skyrocketing um like crazy so universal wanted to kind of enforce the mass policy so we went to
go see what it was like so this was kind of our little adventure that day to universal studios
i've never seen somebody just leave a pacifier just chilling hi my friends we are currently at
universal studios big changes uh the whole new mass policy has changed we gotta talk about that
very controversial what's going on uh we have a lot to talk about for this video we're gonna
update you vape about if there's anything new what are the current crowds like because
this is the busiest time of the year to come to orlando it's kind of a bad house down here but
yeah policies have changed you now have to wear a mask at universal let's go in uh the holiday
season is ending probably the last time we're gonna be here in 2021 now we're walking in they
got the signs out right now safety advisory face coverings are required indoors and at
all attractions regardless of the vaccination status i beetle juice did you get coal or a
present for christmas i got presents trust me you got a big present that's what you got
okay all right the line for tacos go all the way back there and then the line to get into
the fast food boulevard just goes all the way back there we've had to go back in time and
reverse the policy they took it away and now back because the cases of cardi are increased
the current wait time for twirl and hurls is an hour camping out right now
everywhere you look the hogwarts express is a hundred minute wait
the line for richter's burgers goes all the way down the street uh this is louie's restaurant
they just have like very generic average pizza the line is all the way over there there's like
a quick service area over here and that's looped around the building then we have uh the line for
starbucks wraps around starbucks now there's a queue inside but yeah wraps around the building
yeah so just for a little um quick service pizza window the line wraps all the way down here
how are you doing some of you here what do you mean so many people here there's no one here it's
christmas all right the line just to get an auntie anne's pretzel wraps down around the building
and now mommy is so busy you can't even wait in line you have to do
a virtual cue all right so you gotta come and scan the qr code
all right well uh bad news the reservations are all booked
for the entire day um they said some might drop later throughout the day
but uh keith i have some bad news there's no more reservations right now for the mummy
oh no what's that sir it was just so sarcastic oh no i want to see before it goes down
okay so that we're going inside now we have to put our mask on we're heading into the tribute store
i will say the uh tribute store is kind of dead right now there's not too many people in it
in here so if you want a good place to escape the crowds come here now they got a um restock of the
grinch spirit jersey now you're probably wondering what is the price of a theme park spear jersey at
universal only 55 disney's is double the price now now this is the line for transformers they
have everybody packed into the outdoor queue all right now i think they had a restock of
the farewell correct shirts now they have the final restock trek 40 universal then on the back
it says going far far away 2003 to 2022. all right they had it they had a large we got one
now shrek 40 is going away and next week or the week after that it's an hour long wait right now
now i believe these are new these are kind of like track running kind of a side zipper
yeah so it's like a light running jacket but it's got the side zipper they have one for gryffindor
slytherin hufflepuff and ravenclaw i like these they're super lightweight let's see
how much they are 60 65 bucks oh if you flip it around it even says hufflepuff and hogwarts
on the back that's new i like that i know these are kind of hideous this is like the bedazzled
gryffindor logo this is very tacky tourist florida never noticed these it's a little handbag diagon
alley right there on the back is everybody shopping they will say the one of the biggest
straws to come to universal is harry potter and one of the biggest straws to come to disney is
star wars and as we've seen the stock and the shells be barren at disney stocks are not barren
and empty here at universal now we are heading over to islands adventure now it's just too much
of a mad house over there universal studios i will say there's enough team members working today um
all the merchandise locations every single place that they could put a body there's someone there
to help out and all the merchandise lines are running very smoothly and quickly i can't say this
about disney springs it's kind of like organized chaos right it's just running very smoothly
you know the lines are long but you know there's so many people here in the park but it's not like
a mess organized chaos this is literally the ugliest ice cream cone i have ever seen in my
entire life it just looks like a turd but like a body sized pillow turd i used to be able to
get a photo op right here there'd be a giant rope and it would be looked like a dog was pulling you
but the rope's gone now how's your holiday experience going good would you suggest visiting
orlando for winter break no and why because it's gonna be it's gonna be very busy yeah everybody's
gonna be crowded wanna go to the parks to ride some food but the weather the weather is nice but
i'd rather get out of this place the current way time for king kong is 125 minutes
oh my god there's just a sea of ecb beeping going on right now they have a pizza predatoria
open get your pizza slices i don't know how long that will take now the line to get butter beer
stretches all the way down the bridge just become like so overwhelmed because there's so many people
everywhere okay we're on our way over to the lost continent we could somehow get through here
yo i don't even know where to go i gotta get out of here
i can't do this anymore no no i can't do it too many people the line for the three
broomsticks just goes all the way down there we're trying to we're trying to go this way
is over there now a tip for getting to these crowds follow someone with the ecv because
they're like a steamroller choo-choo train cutting through the entire crowd we're just
we're at a standstill right now we can't move i've noticed something that's gone um there
used to be like this like coin making area and now it's turned into kind of like a little dress
shop i used to be able to this giant machine that would slam and make a coin oh but that's gone now
that's just a little gift shop okay back into the madness so they have scaffolding up for poseidon's
fury there's a rumor it's gonna be opening very soon the next couple months so i'm happy to see
you guys back taylor global discovery group taylor golden discovery both taylor's taylor won tail
kids when the tour is being offered we're looking at maybe like february okay february maybe late
january if we're lucky we need to make uh you know i've been waiting long enough i think i can wait a
little longer to then hop in run yeah that's all we can ask for i mean we appreciate your patience
we know that we've been patient because all we've been doing is excavating this area
have you found anything interesting in the rubble what do we have oh god what is special about this
it's real is it the heart of te fiti it feels like rock because like what's the blue stuff
though that's what we're trying to find out we're trying to figure this out because here's the thing
professor baxter says that the the temple poseidon has harbors an ancient connection to the ocean
uh we're assuming that with all of the shells this used to be where the ocean was like what
do you think like a thousand years ago people just went to the beach crushed up a bunch of shells and
then brought them here no absolutely ridiculous so clearly this whole area used to be underwater so
we're assuming that this has something to do with the fact that it was under water yes but obviously
it's not a normal color found in nature really so we're assuming that yes it is that's well i mean
those rocks they're magical you gotta watch out people keep saying magic is real
am i missing something i don't know what to do listen it's about keeping your mind open
it's about being ready for the fantastic see like you have a wand right there that's uh so
what this is a petrified horse petrified horsehair i don't believe them though because horses didn't
exist it's a seahorse a petrified sea horse that's like i don't know how to tell him oh
there you go i know he's gonna take a minute with that uh but no there was
according to the professor what else is in there well just some rocks and stuff with these ancient
uh coins the professor found these coins zero value you you would think that if you found a coin
from thousands of years ago it'd be valuable this is about as valuable as a beanie baby this rock
was a pretty is that a crouton i think that's a crouton what that is an ancient toasted rock
ancient french toast is that what that is is this a fruit i'm pretty sure that's a moldy crouton
you're all day that's from the professor salad used to have like 50 tailors we're down to 30 so
we're minimizing so there's open applications if your name is tail if your name is table what's
your name kevin oh would you like to be one of our volunteers when we come back it's time to say the
oath i don't know what's happening hi i think your name kevin taylor there you go do solemnly swear
do solemnly swear to uphold the integrity of global discovery group to appall the integrity of
the global discovery group to go where i'm told to go where i'm told to brave any danger to brave any
danger ask no questions to ask no questions and not get paid and not get paid the important part
on behalf of professor elias baxter on behalf of professor elias basker best baxter baxter
thank you for my unpaid internship right so are we yeah we're excited to have you i love
that so much it just brings so much more life into that attraction i'm excited for it to open
but if they could keep an entertainment meeting and greeting and building the story and the lure
of the attraction we're heading into uh zeus land right now now the line to meet the grinch
the other day was like two hours i'm guessing it's like two hours today that's why if you do
one of those vip experiences that i did for the holidays you get to meet the grinch and you get
hot chocolate and cookies and you don't have to wait in line for two hours so at this time of
the year you need to do one of those tours because it helps you survive this madness
the whos are out right now okay one fish two fish redfish blue fish has a 50 minute wait right now
i'm tapped out of universal right now now we've only been here like a little
over an hour and a half and i feel like i've literally been here for 10 hours i'm just like
mentally and physically drained just dealing with the crowds you know what let's let's go
home and just talk about everything now keith and i did ride a ride uh we rode the incredible hulk
that rides so much not a fan i always black out on the incredible hulk and it just it shakes you
around like a rag doll but so as soon as you step into a queue no matter if the queue is outside
or inside you gotta mask up so so even if you're on an outside attraction you still have to wear
a mask if you're an outside cute you still have to wear a mask in the outside queue so anywhere
you're entering into a ride area you have to wear them out but uh look at this view very bubble
genius now i've traveled all across the country the past couple months and seen
everything is just kind of a mess everywhere you go right every county is different every
state is different every street is different it felt like when i was traveling around in
like california and you know in maryland and pennsylvania come here to florida and it's a
just it's such a mess it's such a mess this is the universal statement that they came out with that
said the health and safety of our guests and team members are always our top priority as a result
base coverage will now be required effective friday december 24th at all public indoor
locations within universal studios orlando resorts for both guests and team members regardless of
vaccination status including restaurants shops indoor hotels public areas so pretty much anywhere
you are inside at universal studios you have to wear a mask that's kind of like the new rule and
policy i think this will be around for probably a month or so until cases kind of like get back to
normal now there's pretty much no bottles of water no gatorade because everybody has to stay hydrated
no cough drops there's no tests anywhere in florida except the tests even actually work
there's so much back and forth who actually knows what's going on i even saw the ghostbusters at
targets oh i'm just so ready for this all to be over like if you're in the theme park i know some
people don't like wearing the mask but please be nice to the employees because they're not the ones
making the rules they're just there just working please be nice to them they don't want to hear
anything from you complaining about it it is what it is if you don't want to be in a theme park and
you have to wear it don't come i don't know how much longer this is gonna go on for right you can
go get your shots they're available everywhere you can't get everybody in the entire country in the
world to get you know a vaccination so the math stuff i don't know how long it's gonna go on for
i don't know what the answers are i'm sure none of you guys know what the
answers are i think we're all just trying to muddle through this together no matter
what your thought process is on this whole current situation we're just we're trying to
figure it out right and it's not fun for anyone so just please be nice to everyone you never know
what is going on in someone's life so just please be nice and try to stay extra positive during
these like tough times for everyone i did find it extremely weird because everybody was getting
you know the cardi this week everybody was posting on social media like i it was very odd i feel like
they were kind of using their situation to get likes and views and i thought it was just very odd
all the theme park employees right now they have been hit very very very hard because
of the holiday crowd everyone is six that's the current state of it you know cast members
most of them were vaccinated and have had their boosters going back to work and everything
but even with that you can still get it when it comes to living in orlando you cannot afford to
live on your own you have to have multiple roommates for like the rent a one-bedroom
apartment is like sixteen hundred dollars you can't make that on a theme park employee salary
right so everybody has multiple roommates so that everybody's going to work and everybody's friends
with everybody so it just spread like wildfire this disney hr was a mess getting back to them and
it's kind of a disaster internally within the theme park industries and all the my friends who
are cast members and team members and everybody who works in the service industry um everyone
is sick so i would say if you were truly worried about do not come to orlando right now i've had
both shots my booster at some point it's gonna happen right it's just kind of bound to happen
living down here okay so that's uh i guess that's my thoughts okay so this is the first video of
2022 wow um the rewind is almost done if you didn't know i do like a compilation video where
i spent like 20 to 30 hours making this one three minute long video of our past year so that drops
on our anniversary for what the seventh year of my youtube channel on january 14th so that'll
be coming out um this video drops i have a couple videos coming um i'm just gonna kind of like pace
myself and kind of work my way back into the swing of it uh let me know down in the comments your
thoughts um if you're a cast member or team member or a theme park employee or anybody who worked in
orlando this past couple weeks thank you so much for working so hard today it was pretty brutal for
everyone in the industry this past week all right guys if you haven't already hit that subscribe
