we're currently at the grand opening of Gideon's
Bakehouse it is currently a 12 hour wait my friends for a cookie
guys today is the day that gideon's bake house has its grand opening at disney springs i'm super
excited as you all know i did like a little review of the soft opening but this is like
the big celebration they're gonna have like five limited edition cookies they're doing so much let
me do a little rundown of what they're gonna have they're gonna be giving away a limited edition
print of the gargoyle which is also gonna have like its name on it and they only made a thousand
of those then they're gonna be giving away a free gideon's gargoyle sticker then they're gonna have
the five limited edition cookies to try then they're gonna be giving away free peanut butter
buttercream to the first 250 customers and they're also gonna have a brand new t-shirt that's gonna
be released today there's so much else going on i'm super excited it's probably gonna be extremely
busy but guys let's go no it's like first thing in the morning there's never this many people here i
think they're literally all here for gideon's do you see all this this is never like this unless
it's like the holiday time well good morning everyone we're about to wait a couple hours
in the line for a cookie at his grand opening day of gideon's and it's already a mad house
springs have been up for like a couple minutes now lord have mercy the line is all the way back
there well we are currently currently moving the line all the way back here i'm nervous to see how
long this gets my buddy jordan beat me here but he got the best spot ever he is currently right here
you wait here i'm gonna go check to see how long the line is so it looks like if you're in line
up to here you're good but from here you're gonna get a return time for a virtual queue
now yesterday i was talking to the gideon's cast members and they were expecting a seven
hour wait for the store today okay so now that's where i was the line is gonna keep going all the
way over here let's see now the line for just the virtual queue is all the way back to chicken guy
we heard rumors earlier that it went all the way back to zara i just heard one of the managers say
it's at a six hour wait right now the line is the chicken guy right now but the weight is six hours
that's crazy it's an honor to meet you oh thank you how long did it take to create that chocolate
chip and the peanut butter the fif 15 years for the chocolate chip cookie not 15 years straight i
promise you i took some breaks in between i never meant to open up a bakery so it was just a little
side hustle a little fun project for me personally to kind of get that cookie where i was happy but i
will tell you the peanut butter cookie took even longer really after that because if you really
think about it peanut butter cookies all pretty much taste the same there's like a degree here and
there and that doesn't work for me i really wanted to be a completely different experience so it took
me an extra year of tinkering to get that peanut butter cookie to be a different different than
every other peanut butter cookie you'll have it's amazing so over the next like couple years are
you gonna have different cookies and how long are you gonna like tinker with them before you release
them so our five core cookies will always be the five core cookies that's what the gideon's empire
was built off but limited editions are always popping out that's where we have our fun and our
creativity in both limited edition cookies and secret cake slices what's your favorite limited
edition one you have today my babies so that's that's tough i have a least favorite today but
favorite is probably the coffee gate cookie is super special to me that's a love letter to my
new york italian family oh and i love that cookie specifically with the gingersnap cold brew just
the ginger following that cinnamon is just pure magic so that's that's where i go every morning
like i i start my day with that happy place that's awesome but i also really love the coffee toffee
i like coffee and cookies because i'm not a fan of sweet things i like rich things and and the coffee
grounds with sugar tend to balance really nicely the coffee toffee i love i love the peanut butter
chocolate swirl it's just a classic and those two doughs go really well together did you ever think
starting this that there would be a seven hour wait for your cookies like what what is that like
this is the biggest launch ever for a food product at disney i don't know i i have my my personal
challenge is presents i i can't process this today it'll take me a few weeks to go oh yeah that
happened in the moment today it's just about how to deal with it and set expectations and and try
to make everybody happy as awesome as that sounds it's a panic inducing moment for me because i want
to see everyone today like my goal is to try to make everybody that comes out for a grand opening
happy but if 10 000 people show up there's no way you can do that with three registers oh god so uh
so that that's the kind of stuff that keeps me up at night well thank you so much and we love your
product thank you so good so these are all the limited edition ones that we're gonna get today
coffee toffee white christmas chocolate peanut butter swirl and the frankenstein i would just
love to have the lights on fully and just look at all the little easter eggs that they have
on the bookshelf this is always my favorite part this fire that they have at the register
got in her bag and it's time to head out now the stress she's holding a 12 hour weight and 50 in
her hands right now okay we just got out that was awesome talking to the owner um i asked him after
i turned off the camera i was like did imagineers help you design the place he said no it was just
him and his three buddies and they like designed the whole place in three days i'm excited to like
come throughout the years and kind of uncover the story a little more but i got every single
limited edition cookie to try for y'all we are we are back to eat more sweet treats at gideon's
first off let's go through like the little special stuff that they gave us i think here is just like
a gideon sticker you can't see it nicolas cage could probably see it with some lemon juice but
it's there it's the gideon's logo you used to stick it on your car computer or something
and then they had limited edition shirts just for today it's got the gargoyle right there
now this is a very rare piece they only made a thousand of these they're pictures of the gargoyle
and apparently they're releasing the gargoyle's name i'm number 390 and his name is a gaba jabba
did a gabba jabba dis i don't know how to say that i don't know what language that is it's probably
like a demonic satanic word maybe should we google it is i don't know how to say it but uh let's
eat the limited edition cookies now okay this is like opening the ark of the covenant of desserts
okay here's here's the mystery what cookie should we grab
what do we have here all right so we got the white christmas this is the one that was sold out when
i tried to go the original time so i'm excited to try it now now i think this is like a sugar cookie
there's like glitter and white chocolate chips our favorite part oh what is in there that's cinnamon
i taste the white chocolate which is good and the vanilla bean almost like a coffee cake in
it i thought it was straight up like sugar cookie i don't think it's my favorite though now this one
is the one i'm most excited about the peanut butter like chocolate swirl tradition it's like
layered i wasn't expecting that out of this one now my favorite cookies from gideon's there's a
chocolate chip and the peanut butter this is like if they had a baby this cookie is 10 out of 10.
just like again one of those like cookie fantasies that you always dreamt about as a kid but you
never know how to make it or nobody ever made them there's just enough peanut butter and just enough
chocolate where like blends perfectly okay on the next one this is a the coffee toffee again all
their cookies have like a lot of salt on them and the chocolate chips are huge on this coffee toffee
and imagine a chocolate chip cookie an espresso had a baby that's what this tastes like i'm not
like a personal fan of coffee so i'm not like crazy about this one but if anybody likes coffee
this would be like the one to mess with now we're down to the last cookie the funkiest of the bunch
the spookiest the frankenstein okay so it just looks kind of like a bunch of m ms with oreo dust
so it's kind of like the cookies and cream one from before we got the oreos in the center that
one i really wasn't that big of a fan of so let's see how this one is i don't like that one no yeah
they just frankenstein a failed experiment there's some weird aftertaste going on with this one
this is how we're gonna rate the limited edition frankenstein bottom the white christmas and then
what the coffee toffee and then ooh the standout star the soul survivor the peanut butter swirl i
hope they keep that one around we can't pronounce the gargoyle's name it's not very easy to do do
you know the secret combination yes i do because i i have the protection of the gargoyle but
i can't give it to you we have to figure it out yeah that's the only way that this spell works is
if you figure it out and you say it when we figure it out how will we know when we come back facial
expression might give you the proper cue all right we came we saw we conquered gideon's if any of you
know how to pronounce that name let me know but i think i'm going to take like a little uh sugar
comb and nap right now and then we'll talk about our our day now guys let's talk about gideon's
now as you know i'm very harsh on like my reviews and when i think about things and i was blown
away by this place i've been there three times now nothing but high praise to say about it and that's
tough because like i'm i consider myself like pretty pretty critical about like food and like
the theme park stuff and they've done something i don't think anybody's ever done before and that is
being a small business doing better than disney it is one of the best i think additions to the disney
property in a while now let's start from the ground up it's locally owned and you tell so much
love and passion has gone into it there's so many talented individuals from the designers to the
artist to the culinary team like everybody cares about this product so much that they gave it 150
and it really shows from the time you just sign up to get your reservation or when you're in line
each gideon's employee really goes out of the way to make an impact on your day to make a connection
or to ask you about like what you're excited about and normally during these times of like
super stressful like openings you just kind of like figure your way through it but i felt like
gideon's was prepared for this now one of the things i find is mind-blowing is there was a
12-hour wait which is insane i think the longest theme park weight was i think hagrid's and that
was 10 hours and that was last year so 12 hour wait for a cookie is insane now they do have
a location at like a little market in downtown orlando i think it's only like 20 minutes away
but the difference between that and this is the theming you're going in for the experience from
the time you get the menu to the time you check out with like the fire at the register it's just
a seamless experience now disney recently has come out with like new restaurants and new places and
honestly they feel kind of happy because disney just kind of like cuts the budget on everything
so the imagineers can't have their dreams and visions come true and i feel like the
vision that steve had for the store is exactly what was created it's such an immersive fun
like gothic tim burtony willy wonka feel but honestly does anyone know how to say this name
i feel like we're gonna have to like go on a giant easter egg hunt of like how to translate latin or
something to figure out how to pronounce this if you know please please let me know now they did
do a soft opening earlier and i reviewed every single one of those cookies i'll put a little
tab up there but i really enjoyed trying all the new limited edition cookies now the craziest thing
is they're like producing thousands of cookies i've been there multiple days and the quality
hasn't slipped now normally with a lot of like other places when you're pushed to the limits like
that the quality kind of goes away they're trying to get the product out there it almost feels like
each cookie is made like a small amount and like just made for you so it feels very personal to eat
the cookie if that makes sense it's very odd if you've eaten the cookie you understand now each
cookie is very good there are some that i prefer a little more than others but man that peanut butter
chocolate swirl oh i'll be having dreams about that i'm sad that they only have these limited
edition cookies just for today but if you get a chance i would really suggest stopping
by gideon's i'm pretty critical about the stuff and it is worth a visit for the whole atmosphere
and the product if you haven't watched last week's video already i spent a year and a half filming
with a coconut so if you haven't seen the video yet please go watch it i put a lot of
hard work into it i love you all please stay safe and i will see you all this friday bye
you just had your first bite of a cookie how was it very really good it looked amazing
