Contemporary Hotel let's check out the Contemporary from top to bottom cool little fact though this little Hidden Mickey it's like in the flower bed was like oh it's a Hidden Mickey but it's actually not really a Hidden Mickey it's a Hidden Mickey watch what oh my gosh you guys see this there's a little there's a little dial to to uh wind up the watch if you look down here you kind of see the watch band the center and you look down there you see the watch band the center there how do you see it in its entirety well you have to go up the top here of the of the Contemporary Hotel you go up there and you look down you'll be able to see this watch can you believe that there the here's the exterior of the Contemporary Hotel and this is the hotel that most people think of that don't know anything about the other hotels because this hotel the monreal goes right through the center of it the main building that we're entering in is like an A-frame and the Montreal does it goes right through the center of it it is really cool and very convenient to go into Magic Kingdom but there are some other buildings off to the side that aren't in the A-frame uh they're aren't quite as expensive but they're really cool so they're just as cool as staying here in the A-frame this place is cool this is the lobby and the first thing you first thing you notice see coming to Lobby is how much it smells amazing they also have a little contemporary grounds here uh coffee shop and then if you go this way there is a Convention Center so remember how the corado Springs are Convention Center there's a Convention Center here so there's a lot of restaurants here most of the restaurants are on the fourth floor but you guys nice little area here for in the morning to kind of relaxing and you grab some coffee and you're good to go now Mary Blair she did a lot of the designs for uh it's a small world she also did a lot of designs here for the Contemporary uh the Contemporary was built in 1971 but it's gone through some changes and Renovations it's now themed for The Incredibles this is the lobby and it has a strong retro Vibe I mean I would say like 70s but because of The Incredibles maybe even say the 60s this is where you check in and it is just really cool I love the vibe here it's you feel like you're just like in this just this amazingness of everything that's going on here a lot of the stuff are up these stairs we'll go up there in just a moment to show you those before I go upstairs and show you a lot of restaurants cool things I'm going to take you outside cuz I want to show you there's one other like Hotel here uh that you need to see I'm walking outside now if you look to the left of the screen here it's kind of like this little horseshoe this is a DVC building it's called the Bayside it's the DVC uh properties I'm not going to be staying there cuzz that is Prim primarily all just DVC but you'll be aware that that's uh right next here to the Contemporary now this here is outside that's right on the lake and there is a swimming pool I'm going to walk out this way and then turn around so you can see the exterior of this amazing a-framed building it is awesome now they have some other buildings right over here these are called the main Garden buildings and and I'm going to walk here in the shades I want to get out the sunshine these right over here these buildings are little three-story buildings and they also kind of look like little a frames and they're like a little bit off to the side they're not in the main building and they are also themed for The Incredibles tomorrow I'll get us closer to the pool I'll show you what we have down here the pool options and also the beach let's go back inside this main A-frame building and explore it that's the logo of the Contemporary you can see the montal is going through it here you can see a photo of the construction of the Contemporary this lobby area is great it's really cool there is a little area there for the kids to watch movies while you're checking in but I got to talk to you about a myth that I've heard about this hotel and I believed it the longest time and just today I found out it's probably not true so let me just sit down here and tell you about this myth that I heard about this hotel and I believe this for the longest time actually I'm going sit right over here this is a gorgeous little sitting area I'm going sit right over here to tell you this myth so when this building this hotel was first constructed it was constructed in a maer way that the rooms apparently the rooms would be able to come out and they could redo all the rooms they' be able to seriously like pull the rooms out and then slide them back in and then as they needed to update the rooms they could do that just pull them out and slide them back in so the thing is is what I've heard my this whole time ever since I've started doing Disney trivia I heard that as the hotel though it settled because it's on Swamp ground it settled and it made it so those rooms couldn't slide out and that they uh they wouldn't do that anymore so for a long time these rooms were just kind of stuck in the 1970s decorations Decor they just left like that that was kind of part of the charm of this amazing hotel but just today guys I was talking to a person here who works for Disney they they knew that I was doing some videos here on the hotels and he was like talking to me about it and he's like I just and I told him I was like yeah I heard about how that kind of sunk in the ground he goes well actually that's not true I was like what what I've heard that ever since I've been doing anything you know about Disney goes that's not really true goes everybody says that but that's not true he goes the truth of the matter is he goes those rooms still we could literally still pull them out the gr the ground has never really sunk like that it was designed the way it is and it still works he was the problem that they encountered was in order to do this you had to have so many cranes outside and it's very loud pulling the rooms out and it obstructs the view and it wouldn't give a guest a very pleasant experience so they realized we're never really going to probably do that because it would be just you hear all kinds of construction they have cranes right out to your window like tons of them and he goes so they just never did that after it wasn't a very practical solution so I just found that out today and I'm kind of shook because this whole time I believe that that the whole building settled that's why they didn't do the module rooming no no no no they did it because it wouldn't be a good they haven't done it because it wouldn't be a good guest experience Disney I love Disney all right let's explore this let's go up and check out this whole area on the Contemporary this is the lower level here the lobby you're coming in this is a 71 Steakhouse 71 is the year that this hotel opened this is an incredibly popular restaurant you're going to have to have reservations if you want to eat here um and it the food here everybody says the food here is amazing this is a lounge to the 71 Steakhouse and again it's gorgeous you do it's going to require reservations it's open for breakfast it's open for lunch and dinner and they recommend that you get steak and eggs and that is a se1 steakhouse very popular very very and excellent excellent food okay we are now going to go up a level here let's go up I don't usually trust stairs cuz I always feel like they're up to something get it remember this is like a Convention Center so we got like a ballroom this is all done like this is a California Grill this is like Convention Center area so it feels like a Convention Center on the second floor here Convention Center boardroom Atlantic room but we are going to keep going up you want to go up the fourth floor almost everything's on the fourth floor this here is the fourth floor you can see this is the interior of the building so it's kind of like hollowed out here very cool those are all the balconies and then you got this beautiful shop right here right in the center you have this beautiful mural uh Mary Blair did this and this is the elevator Banks to go up but you can see how cool this mural is it looks stunning I'm going to walk around their side to show you their side as well this is one of the really unique things because here comes the monal the monal is coming right through I took the elevator up to the eighth floor you see this kind of carpet you see they have this is now inspired by The Incredibles I retheme this for The Incredibles and you beautiful carpet the little uh paintings and stuff that represent The Incredibles but the reason I came here is this right here I wanted you to see this mural this is just kind of a fun little fact Mary Blair Design This oh there's the monal right there about ready to take off this and a lot of people know this this is the five-legged goat why is there a goat with five legs there goes the other monal this is the one stops here and this one is just an Express monal but just goes through it doesn't stop and there they go guys getting two monals at the same time it's a twofer the reason I've been told that there's a goat here with five legs is cuz when Mary Blair was designing this she was designing this around a Native American culture and artwork and a Native American artwork they believe you can't have everything perfect in art so that goat there with five legs is a tribute to that this is designed so interestingly to me so this is the entrance right here this is Chef Mickey's I have a reservation there tonight for uh 6:45 the excellent dining right there that's Chef Mickey's down there this here is called the Kempo Cafe and this is just like a cool little grab and go go in there grab some food just kind of sit down there and then over here you got the outer rim Lounge three entrances to three different places at one spot I'm back on the fourth floor and you can see these are the different those are the three entrances right here the outer Ram Chef

Bubble ones I mean like just kids love them bubbles my favorite thing to do is to watch adults handle the bubble on when they're walking behind it some adults are like they're just kind of have a good time other adults are getting all irritated like why are there bubbles it's fun to see how people spawn to Bubbles bucket of lightsabers uh wish it's a thing I I actually watched wish I liked it the problem I had with wish was this guy I felt like the transition from good he went they made you trust him youve seen the song He's like I'll protect you and also the next song He's like I'm going to kill you like the transition was too bad to B fast to for a bad guy for me plushies and more and the exit they also have Mickey ears here now I want to show you this nice little area right here this is an important area you want to come sit here you could get a good view of the fireworks at the end of the day you could you could sit right here and watch the fireworks or you can even sit outside and watch them this is a great place to watch them sometimes a monreal will kind of block the view for a second but I'm going to walk you right over here so you can see this because at the end of the day sometimes you want to watch the fireworks work but a little tired you can sit here if you're staying here at the Contemporary and just walk outside there like that's Space Mountain oh there's a montal this is crazy and then look down here they've got benches for firework viewings all set up so you come out here you can watch some fireworks and then this is the Primo spot but you got to come here and sit here early kind of camp out and get it not a lot of people not everybody comes out here knows this but look at this look look at this view oh my gosh just right here this is a resort that you can actually walk to the Magic Kingdom I'll do it for you if you haven't yet watched the uh French Quarter video I did watch the Disney's French Court Resort cuz I'm going to talk about cuz in that video I kind of go into a whole detail how I got sick and how it was a really hard time for me was down here in 2019 2020 the reason I bring that up is right here this is right where I walked in I literally sat down at this chair right here and this is when I started to I was like uh oh I don't feel very good I started to feel a little ill and that's this is when I left I went right from here I went to the Uber and I was so worried about getting my son sick that I went into uh French Quarter and met with my friend Dave and stayed in his room there if you want to hear that whole story watch that video but that right there is where it all started happening so I kind of like when I saw it my stomach is like oh remember how cuz I was so sick crazy crazy memories okay what you're watching now is a flashback this is a video taken four years ago of Amanda talking and at the very end of this video you will see me sitting there and that's right when I started to get sick want to be let's do it I want be I want to see fireworks and play in the water let's do it yes H there I am poor sucker right before the whole got is super sick I'll link the video look around you see a link for it if you want to watch that video all right we have the Fantasia Market let's walk right here like a little market we grab some food here of course right behind me they have wine oh I've been told that if you buy wine and you don't have a cork screw that you tell the cashier they will do that for you um and then right here move down you know look at these big bottles of soda like these are some big bottles of soda you got all the essentials that you need chips bread marshmallows crackers Ziploc bags coffee bags cereal large bottles of soda pup they also have cuz by the DVC place right oh look at this they got Kit Kat ice cream rollos they got frozen pizzas waffles sausage we're going to exit out now it's interesting because this floor design is very open right so it's like a frame so we're in the 7even a frame so right in the center this is a store we just walked through the store with those giant Mickey ears and then uh but at the end they have a little arcade so let's check out the

reality and then of course you got some more games that over here and basket shoots right over here I was really hoping they have a Tron machine darn it yeah not bad not bad but what I did notice there's no benches in here to sit you have those massage chairs just keep in mind though if you sit in those you don't pay oh you see right there it's already done see how it's poking out there somebody sat down it'll make it uncomfortable until you pay oh there's another one right over here too I go down and get my bag once I get my bag let's go check into our room and check out the room

television there they got this nice little otoman that kind of pulls out there you can get a connecting room if you want and then over here let's check it out we got a curig curig and there little curig stuff right there sweet sweet sweet we got to have a beverage cooler in here oh this one looks different all right little beverage cooler and then over here we've got your closets closet closet closet closing closets open up this first one look at this plenty of space there's are safe got some drawers down there there's also that's where your mirror is on the outside it's where your mirror is so you have a mirror outside the bathroom that's what I meant to say you got this one here let's open it up oh there's your super suits honey where is my super suit there's a look at that all the super suits hanging up right there that's sweet oh my gosh it looks awesome I love it something I noticed I had to take the little stand out to look at this but you notice this their super suits they're hanging there and their boots are separate their boots aren't on and then look there's violets and she's got those really tall boots and there's Mrs uh incred incredible and then her boots are down there and then there's Mr Incredibles and his boots are down there what I love that let's turn around look at the bathroom okay here's the bathroom okay this is the shower look at this opens up you got it's a very tall shower rain shower you also have the wand down there Perfect Look got a little step off the side there is your shampoo and stuff that's cool that's very cool you'll notice also two sinks of course now we have two sinks and this is the first time I've seen these round sinks I like these round s looks very modern Sleek you also they have like a little more amenities there you got some like a what is that like a mouthwash and lotion and then look at the mirror the mirror it's the you got the there's a contemporary it looks like it's the monreal coming out it is really

little office little Jack Jack and you got a little office right here little thing this door closes so you has some privacy I've noticed this now in the two Deluxe Resorts that the bathroom is by itself where in all the other Resorts the bathroom and the shower were combined but now they get that's separate the shower is right over there wow that's a really good looking shower I love it love it I don't think I showed you the view I have a water-facing view so this is a nice little view there's a little bird out there water nice little beach view all right it's 30 minutes until my reservation at Chef Mickey's and so what I thought I would do is I'm going to walk you I had to get my umbrella guys the heat here um I'm going to walk from here to uh Magic Kingdom and then back and that should be more than enough time to get back in time for our reservations as Chef Mickey let's do this I do like the look of this hotel though that's the bus station that's also the entrance to the lobby to the Contemporary this is the walkway to Magic Kingdom this walk takes 5 to 6 minutes and it has own little security area though so you go through so it's nice for security so if you are standing contemporary I highly recommend just making this little walk over here because it is you go through security so fast you can't take the Montreal of course that's one of the coolest perks the Contemporary is the Montreal but you can walk it as well there's Space Mountain and Tron right behind it all right just crossed the street and then you going to come this is a little security center right here you go through security and then literally you're at the Magic Kingdom it's really simple and easy to walk here there's the security Center and now I'm going to walk back that's how fast it is to walk to the resort so if that is the most important thing to you walking to Magic Kingdom there's really only one it's the Contemporary there it is the beautiful contemporary that's it just walk right back and Boom Pow you're there I have a couple minutes I'm walking back here so I just want to take a second and say that I'm talking to you I am talking to you I hope you're enjoying this video

that I'm walking into the Contemporary because we have a dinner reservation at Chef Mickey's let's go do that right behind me there you see a line of people there they're waiting to go up to what's called the California Grill right there the California Grill is on the roof uh well on the top floor to floor 15 you check in right here on the second floor then you take an elevator and go on all the way up to the top uh floor where you'll have dinner it's a very popular restaurant because I think you probably figure out why because fireworks people want to be up there eating dinner during the fireworks they can watch their fireworks it's going to require reservation you're going have to have a reservation to go look at that but it is sweet I came up the 50th floor and this is the observation deck you come up here as well all right guys we have reservations at Chef Micki let's go down this is a special area elevator takes you from the second to the 15th floor we have a

of me and they had lots of little kids and a character spent so much time with those kids it was fantastic all right now we need to talk about Transportation here from this uh contemporary resort easiest resort to get to Magic Kingdom by far you can walk it 5 minutes or you take the monel which is it's kind of cool to do I'm not don't get me wrong so take the monal the other thing that you can do is you can actually um take you take the monoral that's how you get to Epcot from here as well so you got the monal Is for Magic Kingdom and also for Epcot you can take buses the buses will take you to Animal Kingdom and to Hollywood Studios from here okay so Epcot you're going to take what montal mat Kingdom monreal right here this is the bus stop this a little bus stop this comes in it take buses here to take you to Animal Kingdom or to Hollywood stos Animal Kingdom from here to get from here to Animal Kingdom that's the farthest one away takes about 15 to 20 minutes 20 minutes if it's really bad like get every red light and did everything wrong whatever uh about 15 minutes uh Hollywood Studios from here it's about 10 to 12 minutes 10 to 12 minutes to get to Hollywood studio from here and they always have a little uh monitor here to tell you what time it'll be here now you can always take a lift from here you can always take a lift to Animal Kingdom Hollywood Studios Epcot uh and they'll just chop your off right at the front gate you never you don't need to take a lift here to get to Magic Kingdom because it's right there this this is the closest as far as walking goes so yeah that is really good uh and it's it's it's convenient the the bus is to run often they're running all the time so you don't need to worry about that right here by the restroom they have a nice little area here where you can put in and filter your water get filtered water awesome tomorrow morning we'll review the pool which is just the end of this video for you guys and then we'll do all the room tests but let me get down here and kind of show you the shorefront there's the pools down there splash pad and they also have down here they have the Sand Bar and also like a little pier let's check it out all right so down here on the dock they've got like some Connect Four they've got a pool table they've got a foosball and there's lots of little games for people to play down here this is where you can walk down here and they do have fishing apparently fishing from the dock is not permitted if you like to you have to oh you get a fishing tour okay here you go let's walk down here that building right there that's where our room is that we're overlooking right here at the end of the period you catch boats this is boat will take you to Wilderness Lodge and it goes that's a different Resort we'll be getting there don't worry it'll be staying there and so the boat will just take you out those are different lodges cuz they have different like dining options out there you might want to visit looks pretty doesn't it contemporary I love this that top part there that's the uh the California Grill very very top part that's where people are always trying to get reservations for for fireworks all right see these boats here with like little balloons on them we need to talk about these These are something that's really special here and also like at the Grand Floridian they take you out into the bay right by the Magic Kingdom and they play the music and you get to watch the fireworks from the water from this boat and they have like little treats for you uh you get to go out there they have a captain the captain drives you out there and then once the fireworks show starts it stops you kind of float along and you watch listen to music of the fireworks and watch the fireworks from the water now you have to have reservations to do this and you need to make those really early Advance cuz these things sell out like amaz like so fast just wish there was somebody who would make those reservations for you oh wait get away today I've done it once and it was a magical magical experience little uh thing bag toss and Connect 4 now right here is the sandb this is going pretty much most of the day it's serving the pool let me show show it to you right here you get some drinks get some food you take the food by the pool area as long as you're 6 ft away from the water they got hot dogs they got sandwiches they've got all kinds of things for you it's so cool they have a little pool table there all right guys nobody's here so I'm going to film this right now this a rarity okay this is a little round pool okay it's a little round pool and um they have these Cabanas you can rent these Cabanas and it's just a nice little round pool it is 3 to 5T deep it's not the whoa duck came in for landing it's not the main pool but this is like one where a lot of people come out to relax just enjoy it you know little round pool this is crazy got Ducks I'm going I'm going to talk to I know management I know Donald I'm going to tell them on you guys do you guys know what you call an exploding duck a fire quacker oh yeah they they did not like that oh man they're out of here like that was inappropriate right not the time for jokes these blue chairs here this is if you need assistance getting a pool uh and they operate this and you get in that pool it's a little chair it'll lower you into the water it helps for people that needs help getting in and out of the water there's a little control on it it'll get you in and out of the water if you need assistance there's the pool behind me I will come here tomorrow morning and and review it we got to go in the room guys and get the get the water bottle ready to go and get everything ready for the night but it's pretty down here somebody did ask like I'm worried about the heat then it yeah this gets hot this this is Florida gets very hot but you're really worried about the heat then you've got you know uh December January February March those are very very pleasant months I'd even say April's pretty good May's not too bad it just starts getting a little bit hotter that doesn't work time to pull out that the hide bed I don't know how to do it that does like budging oh uh oh oh that's not good you just you got to stretch it out a little my my tie so as you can see it's not that difficult to do it looks like it turns a little day bed everybody's tuxedo was black but mine was strawberry Red and that's when I realized I just don't belong anywhere water bottle test tight what the heck good night water bottle you guys this is check this out this is going right here by the hotel it is the what is that the electric Boat Parade you guys it's starting again it's right there in front of us what the heck

fantastic it wasn't bad but this is kind of middle of the road three Z's out of five and there's also something I need to talk to you about this Resort that uh hasn't happened since the Art of Animation I don't know if it's cuz I have this connecting door right here or but last night uh when I was going to sleep I could hear the family next door and the dad or maybe couldn't the mom I could hear the snoring like they were snoring and then this morning when the alarm clock went off their alarm clock I heard the alarm clock and then I could hear them like talking it was I haven't heard that much noise from another adjacent room since maybe the art animation that hallway but it might be because I had a connecting door and um I don't know but I'm just letting you know that the noise level here was a little bit higher like I could hear that other room whereas I haven't had that experience in the other Hotel I'm busting my little bum this morning because it is crazy in tomorrow's video I'm going to be checking into the Grand Floridian and I'm going to be doing something in that video I haven't done in any other videos I'm going to be getting a haircut they have a place where you go get a haircut and I had I got made a reservation actually I didn't make the reservation but we get into that in tomorrow's video and so I want to get there um and then I so I have to check out of here early I have to check in there and then go to the salon and so there not a lot of time so I'm going to go quickly show you breakfast offerings I'm going to come back and show you the pool the pool might not be open but there's a perfectly good fence around it like can kind of videotape the pool then we'll go do the room test and then I'm I'm out of here so let's be quick this morning here I am on the fourth floor and there's that chef chef Mickey you see there's a big long line cuz they have breakfast options we're going to go the Kempo uh Cafe and and check it out and see what they have offered for breakfast there's a Kempo Cafe oh they have the Tacho Bowl which is awesome uh a lot of this stuff we've seen the breakfast stuff seems to be very similar no matter what resort you're going to um except oh they do have what is this it's got this looks like a breakfast pizza that's something different there it is it's a breakfast flatbread and they also have a breakfast burrito here you place your order at the um you know with checkout and then you go sit down and they bring you your food out it's the there's a lot more people in there when I was there yesterday afternoon that Kempo Cafe there's hardly anybody there now there's a lot of people in there sitting and also the chef Micky's is very crowded okay we got to go down and check out the swimming pools all right the pools not open yet but the splash pad is which is different from other uh hotels the splash pad is currently open right now um looks like there's a family playing there so I'm not going to show it too much but I'll show what I can then I'll show you the pool and I love this little Mickey here so this is like the little interacting Splash area they have there's a water can is there little waterfall that falls down and little areas they can Splash and a little Fountain area where the kids can play oh it just started raining like big just Big Thunder okay so this is the swimming pool let me get a little area where you can kind of see it it's Unique that it has two hot tubs so this is the swimming pool area right here right in the center see little water fountain is that water fountains going over that is also a little hot tub area and there's a hot tub area right down there holy cow it's really starting to rain but this is what I've been told about Florida weather is that if it does rain don't worry cuz it doesn't last long wow it's really starting to rain but we are committed we're in it to win it all right I'm going to walk down these steps this is going to take you to Sandy Beach and I'll be to show you the pool a little bit they do have volleyball and they have like little uh Cabas you can play here kids can build little things in the sand you don't get in the water in the lake but it is nice little Sandy area here and right over here is the swimming pool let's get a little bit closer so you can see the pool now the that is a there is a water slide you see the water slide there see got a little Tower you walk up into that water slide you see the water splashing because of all the rain but this is the pool area I feel like compared a lot of the other Resorts the theming we've seen here is it's the pool is nice it's got two hot tubs which is very nice it's got a water slide I think that the uh as far as theming goes the theming is not that strong I'm going to give this 2 and 1/2 2 and 1/2 pools out of five the kids are going to be happy swimming in the pool they're going to be they're going to be this is great pretty happy happy with it but there's not a lot of theming there and they have that water slide which is nice but there's like no themeing on water slide so it's just kind of like um it's just there but I think anybody who swam the pool is going to be happy with it back in the room let's do our test first test water bottle test this fridge is different than the other Resorts seems like oh okay I felt that right off the bat that's cold very very cold yeah no problems with this one cold cold water which I need to drink some right now cold cold water shower test [Music] so I thought because we're at the Polynesia which is also a deluxe Resort that the showers maybe they're all the same they're not they're not the same this one here uh is one of the most beautiful showers I've seen But the pressure is only two and A2 two and 1/2 uh drips out of five I Tred to show you the water is coming from falling down it's not not to push it out it Absolut looks gorgeous this is one of the most beautiful looking showers I've seen But the water pressure is really really low which I guess is like an historian life right sometimes there's beautiful things that just aren't good on the inside flush test all right for this particular bathroom we going to give us two and 1 half flushes out of five two and 1/2 flushes out of five here's what I'm going to do I'm going to do some shout outs then when I'm done do these shout outs I'm

that Lake this okay okay so let's do a little bit of facts about the uh contemporary resort it was built in 1971 and the it was one of the two originally opening day hotels here the last time it went through renovation the main tower the a tower that went through a renovation in 2022 and then these Garden wings that that I'm kind of off the side those buildings off the side they went through a renovation in 2023 as you see they did this whole new retheming here of The Incredibles I like the them I like this hotel I think it's a fantastic Hotel the price point at this hotel is $550 per night up to $1,550 per night and they they have rooms that could sleep five up to 12 people so they have some larger rooms here my honest feelings on Resort I think it's so cool cuz the monal goes through and we all see that we all want to see that and have that experience I kind of feel like this is more of a moderate Resort that they're pricing at a deluxe Resort because of the conveniences this is the only Resort where you can walk to Magic Kingdom so easy back and forth within like less than 5 minutes it's the only one so if walking is important to you to get there early and you want to stay late you don't want to worry about Transportation options then this is the resort for you hands down hands down because this is the closest one to Magic Kingdom and that's important to me I like to walk to the resorts so that's one of the reasons I that's why I stayed here the first Resort I ever stayed at when I came to down here to Walt Disney World for the first time was this one because I wanted to be able to walk to the Magic Kingdom cuz I didn't quite understand the transportation Transportation now I think it's so easy to use but at the time I was like I really want to walk so that's why I want to stay here it is just storming out there like crazy now here's what's going to be happening I'm going to be checking out of this particular um uh hotel at Resort and getting on I'm going to check my baggage the baggage is going to be delivered over I'm going to be going to the Grand Floridian uh and I'll be taking a monell over to the Grand flan to get there I'm going be checking in and then I'm going to be getting a haircut hi what so let's do that guys let's do this I'll see you tomorrow in tomorrow's video you are amazing see you tomorrow bye-bye you guys this is a massive storm I got to go in the storm get to the next hotel I mean Resort this is luckily there's a walkway so I'm walking under the walkway which will take me to the baggage claim where drop my bag off then I'm going catch the monitor else I shouldn't have to be o
