Today's "Phone it in" Vlog du jour. Tell me if the rituals sound familiar:
Mickey Power Pole (complete with the zooming in on it)>films the big welcome sign as he drives under>the parking lot booths>films tram but says he's going to walk>films monorail>complains about heat>shows "Heavy Metal Mickey">shows the screen with the ticket prices>explains his Joffrey's hack and gets coffee with no line>films monorail again>complains about Joffrey's coffee not being hot enough>rides monorail>films the posters under the train station>looks at merch
Now while he's doing all this, he's explaining why he'll miss all the previews of the new Tiana ride in that special way only Adam can do: as convoluted and confusing as possible. He has clearly chosen the Rays over Tiana, I'm sure due in no small part to the fact that he's booked airfare and potentially bought tickets to at least 3 baseball games, and that's kind of locked him in.
So he's trying to convince himself he's ok with missing this ride opening. He keeps saying he's "ok with it", which is a sure sign that he's not ok with it.
The easiest way to tell he's not ok with it is that he's considering spending $170 on a one day ticket to the Magic Kingdom on June 28th (regular opening day for the ride), in the hopes of getting in the virtual queue or buying a Lightning Lane (which he'll never be able to do unless he also gets a DVC reservation on property, as they will be gobbled up by WDW hotel guests by 7:01am).
His most ridiculous take is that while he knows many cast members, he's hesitant to ask them to take him to a cast member preview. He says he doesn't know "the etiquette" around cast member previews and if you can film or if it's "frowned upon" and he doesn't want to get anyone in trouble and it just makes him uncomfortable. Now, c'mon. He doesn't know? He can't see the hundreds, even thousands of videos on YouTube of people - his "friends" - filming full ride videos during CM previews? Please, what is this idiocy he expects us to believe? Then he says he's not really a "full ride experience video guy" anyway, etc. etc.
I suspect that in reality, he doesn't know any CMs that would take him.
Today's "I'm trying to look young and not at all worried I'm about to turn 50" look is
pulling the baseball cap down on top of the hair on the forehead
Thumbnail attempts or Ray Charles impressions? You decide:
Then he talks to a squirrel, because the talking to animals thing hasn't been driven into the ground. Gosh, I hope he buys a bottle of Dasani soon.
He continues to talk about the Disneyland Splash and the WDW Splash as if they were radically different rides. The way Adam talks, it's as if they were even more different than the Pirates rides or Haunted Mansion rides in those respective parks, which is insane. Maybe the scale was a bit different, and the logs and seating were obviously narrower in Disneyland, but my gosh he is just nuts.
He whines some more about Splash being gone and talks more to the squirrel, then complains about the wait for Big Thunder (35-40 mins) and says he won't wait that long for it. Says if it was 20 mins or less he would, which is totally realistic - because in the middle of the day, Big Thunder is so often 20 minutes or less

He stops back in a store to look at...pins

, but nothing "pops out at him". Then back to stare at the Tiana ride, hoping they start testing it (you can just search youtube for a million videos showing the testing). Gary has joined him now
The track finally fills with water, but I guess nothing happens after that because suddenly he's in Tomorrowland to ride the Peoplemover. Thankfully ResortTV1 isn't there as well. When they go though Space Mountain, can you guess what Adam does? Yes, he says Space Mountain in the Mickey Mouse voice, because he can't not do it every time.
Ferry back. Another obsession he has is when any Disney transport crosses paths with each other, and he notes it here as the ferries pass each other. He says the vlog is over, but there's an edit and he waits at the start of the row he's parked in to...film the monorail as it passes by. I don't know what to tell you, it's uncontrollable, he can't stop.
