Drone show debut at Disney Springs, so you know where Adam was last night...
Illegal Parking for Mickey Power Pole shots>OCD parking spot on top of the Orange parking garage (he has to refer to this as "Team Orange" and has to park on the top level). He steps out of the car and immediately begins filming the "hot air" balloon, as he always does - I suppose he considers it a form of Disney transportation?
This is, of course, the balloon he says he's going to ride almost every single time he goes to Disney Springs, but he never actually does. Will he actually do it today?
This is why 30k people watch, to see a bird's eye view of the bus area for Disney Springs, so interesting!
Adam stops at Starbucks and gets a "rare" coffee bean roast at Starbucks which is probably totally lost on a guy who loves random gas station coffee. He says basically nothing about the taste of the coffee, so why did he bother? He inquires about riding the balloon, and there is no wait so he goes for it. The only problem is the ticket booth tells him he'll have to leave his coffee on the ground, which annoys Adam.
Of course he is always one to test the rules even when he's been told differently (ask Universal Studios, amirite?), so he tries to walk on with the Starbucks, and to his surprise, the people actually operating the balloon do not stop him. If you've been paying attention, you already know the problem we will encounter on this trip up into the sky - Adam+coffee means caffeine yapping. Also, just like Indy yesterday, Adam is zooming way in on things in the distance and holding the camera with one hand, and then trying to catch things right below him, so the camera work is less than stable and sometimes vomit-inducing.
The drone show happens after sunset, but of course Adam can't say that. The only way to convey that simple message in Adam's brain is to say that the drone show will happen after "nightfall rears it's head". Adam complains it's hot but it's not as bad as the middle of the day. He says part of it is the "cloud formation blocking the sun",
and he says this as the sun is literally shining down upon his face and body, not blocked by anything except parts of the balloon structure:
Of course he has to say the line, "Whatever you do....don't look down." Too bad there weren't any cones on the balloon, he could use that line too. And yes, it's an orange shorts day:
Every time he goes to Springs he has to film this (awful) animatronic gator outside Rainforest Cafe, every single time, and manages to squeeze in his awful Arnold impression as well as get the volcano erupting.
Adam gets a DASANI water, but declines to do his WORLD-FAMOUS "DASANI WATER COMEDY BIT" that everyone loves so much. Oh well.
The drone show happens, and of course Adam's viewers only get some clips with no music and a voiceover. Adam lets us all know that,
shockingly, drone tech has advanced a lot since 2017 when he last saw a drone show at Disney Springs (didn't he already learn this when he saw the drone show at the Rays fan event in St. Pete not long ago?). Adam's crappy camera seemed to have some issues focusing properly during some parts of the drone show.
Adam says he's very happy he didn't go with his first instinct of watching it from the top of the parking garage, he thinks it looks better from the waterfront. (remember this for later)
Adam is documenting the mess of people gridlocked in Disney Springs after the first showing, and then he turns his camera on this loser, because Adam is once again doing the same thing every other Disney vlogger does - Adam just does it worse because he won't ever actually show his viewers the full, real show, and he films with a Kodak camera from 1989:
He makes it back to the TEAM ORANGE parking garage and documents/complains about the traffic. He has no desire to sit in the horrible traffic to get out of the garage, so he decides to "walk around the top of the garage" until he can watch the second show.
He then says he now REGRETS not watching the first show from the top of the parking garage, as he might've been able to then run to his car and get out before the traffic was bad.
Totally understandable. It's not like this is his job or anything, it's not like he has any actual work schedule. It's not like he has a family to get home to, no baby he needs to wake up in the middle of the night to feed, no real job to go to the next morning, no lawn to mow. Hell, he's not even on a once in a lifetime Disney vacation, where he needs to get up the next day at 6:30am to make sure he gets Lightning Lane for Slinky Dog at exactly 7am or he'll be letting down his 8 year old.
But yeah, he really regrets not watching the drone show from the parking garage. Now he's FORCED watch a second DISNEY drone show! The HORROR OF IT ALL! Poor guy.
So we get endless shots of the lines of traffic while he waits for the next drone show. It starts, and Adam says that he should leave while it's still happening to avoid traffic after it's over, and then says that
it looks better from on top of the garage than down by the water (it doesn't and make up your damn mind).
He then takes this opportunity to begin trying for his usual embarrassing thumbnails. Well, these might be even more embarrassing than usual
Then he leaves. In the car, he says "The good news is, I'm already off the top level" when he's clearly still on the top level and in the same line of traffic he'd been filming previously. He just gets down to the next level and the vlog ends.
No profuse thanks to the viewers in this one, I guess he feels he suffered due to "braving" the crowds and the traffic, so the viewers should really be thanking him.
An impressive-looking free Disney show in a place that's free to park and free to walk around in, at the beginning of a holiday weekend. Adam's here to tell you it was crowded. How would the world survive without him?
WDW gave a slight bump yesterday, but not long ago a WDW park vlog was a guaranteed 50k within the first 1-2 days for Adam. The Daily Woo is in serious trouble views-wise
