hey actually change of plans stick around till the end of the video guys I want to have a little
personal private chat with you real quick at the end of the video first I want to explore more of
CityWalk start off here in the Universal gift store lots of Simpsons stuff Duff beer Homer
hmm I do need a new Homer hat or something lots of Simpsons stuff you know Disney also owns some
rights to The Simpsons they've obviously got it on Disney Plus they don't sell merchandise
quite like Universal does so I like this blue hat too hmm I mean it's been three years since
I've been to Universal and look they still have the same magnets that I already have not much to
choose from and I also have that one I'm just not impressed yet I don't need another magnet you know
they have a Jimmy Buffett's Margaritaville here I think that's a good place to start this is a
whole store and then this is the Outdoor part here there's also the Lone Palm over here with
a big airplane in it like a tiki bar actually maybe this is a good spot to start here at the
airport there we go with the mango margarita here in the shack the Lone Star here [Music]
less tasty however that mango margarita was so good I'm gonna come in here and get me a
magnet bottle opener the Margaritaville and look they have custom ones no working during
drinking hours and it says Eric on the bottom bottle opener that's a cool Orlando magnet oh
here's the toothsome chocolate Emporium see the chocolate swirls moving up there and the steam
from the smokestacks making the chocolate it's a restaurant kitchen mostly and uh not quite ready
to sit down and eat food it takes too long it's really pretty though and next door we've got the
Hard Rock Cafe here in Orlando another restaurant and bar seems like seems like there's a lot of
drinking places like a lot of places to drink alcohol I'm not complaining just pointing out
oh man that's great here's the rotating Universal Globe here outside one of the engine says we got
the uh Grill and Brew place over there by NBC let me go over there and try to get a burger
the Mist underneath the globe though
awesome beautiful night 75 degrees at 8 pm
I bet we'll be able to get a quick seat at the bar just like Margaritaville pays to be single alone
yeah they're lined out the door pretty busy but we're gonna go check out the bar I know
there's one upstairs me and my brother went there one year that's what I'm looking for
one seat at the bar nope I walked all the way around not even one seat open let's go
upstairs all right got a spot got a Bud Light draft and an order of food coming in awesome
we got the cheeseburger there and look at this they even got tater tots and I met some
new subscribers here Debbie and Mike thanks guys nice to meet you enjoy there's a voodoo
donut here in Orlando but the line is a little too long well you know what the picture with
the voodoo chair is a lot shorter than the voodoo line I think I can at least get that
oh interesting they have a this is right across from Voodoo Donut they have a mobile
pickup station from Voodoo Donuts that's pretty weird they bring it over here after you order it
okay there's actually a lot of photo ops here a lot of photo ops but I have to go find somebody to
take my picture every single time so it's harder for a solo guy but but you don't have to wait in
those long lines of the bar so that's cool man I didn't even see this one they've actually got a
fat Tuesday here too it feels a lot different than any of like Disney Springs or downtown
Disney look at that you can get a pina colada here uh well you know I'm already I'm already
committed to Bud Light so all right all right wait a minute we're checking out this Universal
Legacy store with some different stuff oh my gosh look at this neon shirts old school like
80s yeah they have some different stuff in here for sure oh my gosh I'm Back to the Future area
88 miles an hour uh Sean Sean Fowler are you seeing all this the Back to the Future
mug oh my gosh this is oh they got back to the future retro magnets it's a it's a magnet set
except the hoverboard oh my I have to have this oh the out of time this is this is a what you can buy
the license plate oh you're killing me Universal you're killing me I got some old pictures up there
huh wow um oh there's doc oh there's Marty there's the Clock Tower man be good Eric don't
buy a DeLorean don't do it Eric you don't need a DeLorean right no okay okay oh another one jeez
all right there's a lot of people walking on the other side of the camera leaving the parks behind
me lots of traffic on the other side so I'm gonna keep this brief guys but I did want to mention
since getting back from the cruise it's given me a lot of time to read through the comments and
you know I it's it's good and bad but look I want to say one thing no matter what you think about
how I live my life it is my life after all right uh I had fun I love Orlando I was not here last
year in Florida for Orlando over Christmas so I took last year off and I'm really looking forward
to being happy myself and I'm gonna do that no matter what over anything I'm not going to
live my life or anybody else and I hope that you all don't expect me to live my life for you you
might not agree with everything I do you might not agree with everywhere I go and that's okay
but you don't need to tell me you don't need to write in the comments because nobody really cares
really I'm just saying I'm going to live my life and I'm gonna be happy don't assume there's no
need to judge there's no need to make fun and definitely don't be mean don't be mean in the
comments because guess what you're going to get banned from my channel [Music] [Applause] [Music]
[Music]
it's that busy time of night I guess anyways I want to get back to the kitties so
um I'm not doing any of the Orlando Parks today but I may later I want you to know though
for those of you who say Eric you never go to or Universal Orlando you always do Disney well
if that's what you really think then my point is proven because Orlando Universal is not the same
as Disney Disney lets you film all the time on all the rides throughout the park they encourage you
you can bring your big cameras in and everything Universal is different I can only bring in a cell
phone I can't bring in a microphone I can't bring in a selfie stick or a tripod or a camera with
a lens uh you can't bring any camera on any ride in any of the Universal Parks you have
to store everything for every single ride so if you're wondering like how come all we ever see is
Disney we never see you go to Universe well okay you want to see me go to Universal Studios here
there you go that's what you're gonna see don't blame me I like Universal I do but
yeah it's getting really busy here outside the park so I'm gonna I'm gonna move it back towards
the car I'll see you guys a little bit this little kitty of mine I'm gonna pet his butt
butt this little kitty of mine I'm gonna pet her but all right back at the RV and with all that
said I am looking forward to an awesome December and Christmas here in Orlando and uh if you're
not here with me then sit back enjoy make some hot cocoa or hot apple cider or some other adult
concoction that sounds delicious and uh share it with me remotely from from your chair from
your laptop from your phone all right we'll see you soon from somewhere magical [Music]
