Hello again from beautiful Florida.
We live here now.
We are on our way to Disney Springs.
Actually, today we're driving around the Orlando area,
creating a detailed guide about Orlando, things to do here,
which should already be online by the time you watch this.
[music]
That's Mickey, baby.
-Not Minnie? -Not Minnie.
-I'm at the Winter Park at summertime.
But still a good place to go.
I'll have fun at any park.
I'll leave the link here.
But going through the Disney area, we had this idea,
"Let's go to Disney Springs, we're here!"
"Let's go see the situation, see how everything is."
And then... -I got an idea.
-Yes, Gordon came up with another idea.
-Universal CityWalk.
-Yes, if we're going to Disney, let's go to Universal.
Why not? Right?
-Disney Springs and Universal CityWalk, why not do both?
-Yeah! [laughs]
So today it is a very productive day for us,
like two in one.
Two videos in one day.
-Yes. -[laughs]
What are you more excited about,
Disney Springs or Universal CityWalk?
-Disney Springs. -Why?
-Food.
-Well, there's food at Universal CityWalk, too!
-Is there? -Of course, we're gonna eat there, too.
-Then I like both equal. -[laughs]
[music]
-Wow, look at all this parking available, baby.
Never like this, huh?
-I think I'll take the last one
-No one parks over here.
-Good morning.
-Hi, good morning.
-Would you have another face cover?
-Yeah, I got another here. -Perfect.
-Do you mind switching them out? I'm sorry.
-No problem, no problem. -Thank you.
-Those types of masks are not allowed here,
neither the ones with filter.
They prefer like this.
-How are you guys doing today? -Good. And you?
-Good.
All right. Thank you. Have a great day.
-Thank you. You, too.
-Hi, welcome. -Hello
Have a good day.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
In all Disney Parks including Disney Springs,
they have guidelines for masks, too.
Masks can't be open here in the bottom like mine was.
And also they don't allow masks with filters like the N95.
As far as I've been told, the reason for that
is that people who are not health care professionals,
don't know how to properly wear an N95 mask,
those masks with filters,
hence, increasing the risk for contamination.
You got to wear masks here the whole time,
except when you're eating or drinking.
As these days, I always carry spare masks.
That's okay.
[music]
We're now at Disney Springs.
This is Disney's main attraction outside the parks.
It is just like the parks, outdoors.
There are restaurants, entertainment, nice shops.
It is really fun.
Look at that. The balloon is working.
The balloon doesn't leave this place here.
It stays here. It's attached.
And it's just for you to go up and have a nice view of the area.
This is the world's largest hand-painted helium balloon.
Normally, this place is not like this.
It's always busy, especially, if you come here in the evenings.
There's live music.
You got to hope for all the situation to go by fast, huh?
What's really cool about Disney Springs is that this is a Disney experience
but without the Disney ticket price,
because it is totally free to come here.
It's free to park. It's free. It's free!
Now, there are some paid attractions, too, like this balloon,
but you don't necessarily need to spend money to come here and enjoy.
You can simply come for a stroll.
[music]
Look at how the shops have adapted.
Now, we have a door to get in, entrance only,
and a door to come out, exit only.
Look at this Star Wars shop.
Look at him, how young.
-Yes. I know.
-You know him. -I know.
-[laughs]
See? Not everything is open here yet.
Some of the shops and restaurants are still closed.
NBA Store, NBA Experience,
everything is closed here at this point
See? You go on this side, and come back on the other,
all to maintain social distancing.
You can use the official Disney app here at Disney Springs, too.
Look at this.
Remember, I used this app all the time in Magic Kingdom.
Yeah, but there, I used to see the wait time for the rides.
Ooh, whoo-hoo!
Here, you can use for map. See? We're here.
You can also look for something in specific,
a restaurant or a shop.
You can make reservations at the restaurants.
You can also see the menus
and sometimes order food.
It depends on the restaurant.
Here at Disney Springs, only this one.
[music]
Look at that.
[laughs]
And it's Goofy, huh?
-You found your candy. -Yeah, candy.
-Happy, happy! -Candy!
[laughs]
If you don't get it, you got to watch the latest Indonesian videos, right?
-Yes.
I'm not leaving this place until I find the Lumbung Candi.
A candy temple.
Yogyakarta, go back there.
[music]
One thing that works really well in times of social distancing,
look at this, you can get the Disney app,
sit in front of the restaurant and look at their menu
right from your phone.
Don't even need to go in.
Then if you want to order, they have outdoor space,
safe to sit down, eat something,
and have a break, right?
We need a break. It's too hot.
[laughs]
Any idea what you want?
-Sandwich-y. -Sandwich-y.
What did you get?
-French dip.
-You said it was a French dip, baby, but this is UK.
Isn't it? Look at this. [laughs]
Is it good?
-It's very French. -Very French.
[laughs]
Look at the bread, very thin.
-Uh-huh. -Toasted.
-But you said you'd get something else, right?
You mentioned the cheddar sandwich.
-I wanted breakfast. I wanted breakfast.
-Oh, it is too late for breakfast. -Yes.
-She said, "No way." -No way.
-Not even for your pretty eyes. -She said no to you?
-Yes. -She said no to you?
[laughs]
Only Gordon is hungry at 11:30 in the morning.
I'll go for a bite, but I'll wait for lunch.
[music]
-How Amazing, huh? -Yes.
-I dare you assemble even the tiniest piece here.
-How about I disassemble?
-Oh, that's more you. -I can do that.
Ta-da! World of Disney.
This is the largest Disney shop in the entire world.
It goes all the way from that end.
You pass Starbucks and it continues over there.
It is enormous.
Look at this, the size of the shop here.
Bigger than this lot, only the movie theater.
You can barely see inside the store.
But today, we're staying outdoors only.
When COVID is done, we go in.
[music]
-Johnny Was. -Johnny Was!
-And Gordon Is.
[laughs]
Now, one thing you might wonder about Disney Springs
if there are characters here,
you see no characters walking around here, unfortunately.
not even before all this.
At least I've never seen and never heard of it.
-What?
-Keep coming to Disney because there's always something new.
I'll change my face covering here
because, wow, it is tough to breath with this here
for an extended period of time with the humidity here in Orlando.
With this one here, it is easier to breathe.
Let me get ready for next time we go out.
[music]
Do you realize that this video is like behind the scenes
for the first video?
It's like what we're doing when we're not shooting.
-No, I didn't. -Yeah, it is.
-Yeah. -Who's behind the scenes?
-What people didn't see that we stopped at Disney Springs.
-Oh. -[laughs]
And that we're about to stop again
-Look at this, how cool! Brazilian Barbecue.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
-Huge coincidence. I didn't expect Brazilian food here.
But as it's here, why not, huh?
Guess what I got?
-Look at this. -Oh, my.
-Picanha
What? You said you're not hungry.
-I just want to taste the sauce.
-Now, you are. Just the sauce?
[laughs]
What is the sauce?
-Olive oil, basil.
-Good? -Yeah, very good.
Very good.
In Orlando, they also have their food trucks,
and this place here is called À La Cart.
It's cool for you to sit outdoors like this.
Look at your options here.
In addition to Brazilian Barbecue, you could get Poké here
or donuts over there.
There are falafels ahead, or even some ice creams,
but the ice cream truck is closed right now.
Drinks are right behind here.
Someone here was not hungry, huh?
-I'm not. -[laughs]
-In terms of price, baby. How much was yours?
-$10.
$10, including tip?
-Yeah. -It was really good.
-$10 for Disney price, right? -Yeah.
-Here it was a little more expensive, $14 total with a tip.
But for Brazilian Barbecue, you rarely get that price.
-So I think it was a good deal. -Yeah.
-Good deal. -Yeah.
-We found good deals today...
-Yeah, I think. - ...for Disney and for Orlando.
-All I know that it's hot.
-It is hot. So, let's get back to the car.
[music]
Free parking, baby. Yay!
Yeah, we already came to this area here during the day.
But we're back now because only now you get free parking,
only after 6 p.m.
Look at this, how interesting.
They block every other parking spot.
See? With a cone... You cannot park here.
You park here
Yes, no, yes, no, and so on.
Social distancing even to park.
Parking here costs $28 if you come here during the day.
That's because it's the same parking for Universal and Islands of Adventure.
Now, let's see if they'll accept this mask here.
What do you think? Yes? No?
-No? -No.
-Let's see.
All good. Let's go.
-Thank you.
[music]
-All good with this face covering,
even some security guards are wearing this.
That's Universal Store.
So you don't need to go inside the park
to get some memorabilia and souvenirs
They have it all outside, too.
Universal CityWalk is similar to Disney Springs,
but with a couple of differences,
one is the location, as you have to walk through the CityWalk
to go to both parks.
For Universal, you go that way,
and for Islands of Adventure, over there.
Number two, Universal CityWalk is much smaller and more compact
compared to Disney Springs.
And although both get busier at night,
my impression is that Universal CityWalk is more for the nightlife,
like there are more nightclubs here, more cocktail bars,
although there are a few also at Disney Springs,
but Disney Springs is more like family-oriented, you know, Disney.
[music]
There's an interesting story about this plane here.
This is the real plane that belongs to the owner of this entire
Margaritaville chain.
The thing is that it was shot at, by Jamaican police.
This was like 20, 25 years ago.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
So the government of Jamaica later apologized.
And the owner the chain, who's actually a musician...
-Do you know him? -Jimmy Buffett.
-Yes, Jimmy Buffett.
So, he created a song based on all this incident.
Guess what's the song if you know his music.
-No.
-"Jamaica Mistaica." -"Jamaica Mistaica."
-Yeah. [laughs]
A lot of people come here going directly to the parks
and don't realize that there's actually a second level here.
Look at that. We're going up there later.
These boats here take you to Universal Hotels.
They're free.
It just doesn't look like they're working right now.
Oh, no, actually the water taxis are working again.
Look at this.
It's just closed right now because of the weather,
this thunderstorm that is approaching.
[music]
Nobody over there. No one around.
No one over here.
So we can take the masks off for a quick photo with the globe.
Smile.
The two sides of the Universal CityWalk.
You arrive that way,
and then you can cross either from the Universal side
or Islands of Adventure side,
and you arrive over here.
This Hard Rock Cafe here is the biggest in the world,
which means that they also have way more rock memorabilia
than any other one.
There is even a concert venue here for 3,000 people.
It's really crazy.
One thing that very few people know is if you walk around Hard Rock Cafe,
and you come all the way to the back, there's a piece of the Berlin Wall here.
So, Gordon, this is totally for you again. [laughs]
-Yes.
-Are you smiling? I can't see it.
-No. -[laughs]
This is a chocolate store, baby.
Here's the entrance to Islands of Adventure.
From here on you need a ticket.
Before that, all free to walk around
The second floor here is where you find most of the nightclubs and cocktail bars.
This is a unique style of karaoke
because here you sing with a live band.
You could show your talents, but it's closed.
I guess another day nobody discovers my talent.
Yeah, another day.
This is a restaurant honoring Bob Marley.
And it's actually in a replica of his home.
[music]
Universal's app also works here. It shows here where we are.
See? Right here
Here are the two parks.
You can use for maps or also for... ordering food.
Here, mobile food and drink ordering.
At Universal CityWalk, you got these options for restaurants
including the donut.
I'm going to order a donut here.
It's so cool. You see the prices and everything.
Really easy to order something.
So, I'm going to get this one here.
Add to order. Okay.
Well, look at this one.
It's probably ginormous.
I going to get this one, too.
Okay. Yay.
Wow, we skipped all this line here, simply by ordering on the cell phone.
-Okay. Enjoy! -Thank you very much.
This is by far the busiest place in the entire Universal CityWalk.
I'm so glad I ordered online
because you arrive there, you basically just check-in,
and they prepare your box immediately for you.
You totally skip the line.
I regretted getting just two,
You know? Should have got more.
[music]
Oh, look at this, they give you free parking, too,
if you come for a movie before 6 p.m.
That is cool. If you purchase two tickets.
As you get here, the waiter asks you,
if you want to order via the mobile app or with her,
It is so cool that they give you this option here.
They are really pushing social distancing here.
-Cheers! -Cheers!
Oh, wow, look at the pizza here.
It is enough for two people, for sure.
Mmm.
Very, very tasty.
Do you like the choice? No, we have to say with the camera.
-Yes.
Yes.
[laughs]
$35 in total including tip,
but that's because Gordon's beer alone was more than $10.
Hey, baby. I saw you opening the box.
-Yes. -Are you thinking of donuts already?
-They're gone, they're gone. -[laughs]
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-Just an empty box.
It's interesting how Disney Springs and Universal CityWalk
kind of complement each other, right?
In the sense of, there you have Planet Hollywood,
here you have Hard Rock Cafe.
-Uh-hmm. -There you have Cirque Du Soleil.
Here you have Blue Man Group, right?
There... What else do you have there?
They have a lake, and here you have a lake.
-Yeah, yeah. That's a similarity.
[laughs]
-You have parking lot there. You have parking lot here.
[laughs]
Well, you have Disney Store over there,
Universal Store over here.
-They don't have a balloon here. No balloon.
-No, they don't.
They have mini golf here.
-Yeah? -Yeah.
So different activities. -Yeah.
-Drive-In Golf, actually, that they have here.
Look at that.
Which one is your favorite?
-They both have food. -They both have food.
Yeah. -They're my favorite.
-And they both are very fun during normal times.
[laughs]
-[laughs]
[both laughing]
Baby, you're the guardian of the donuts, okay?
-Yeah. -They need to make it home.
[laughs]
Look at this! YouTube TV sponsoring a team, L.A.
That's cool. YouTube TV.
-LAFC but it's the wrong color.
-What do you mean it's the wrong color?
-Red and white. -Red and white?
-YouTube. -Oh, yeah, yeah.
-Olá! Buenos Dias! -Yeah.
-I found my candy. -[laughs]
-But it's not built yet.
-It's not built yet. Yeah. [laughs]
A quick photo with the globe.
No, you have to smile.
Hmmmm
