YMS's Disney (And Universal) Vacation

[@kassafrassa]

Makes my heart warm and squishy to hear Adum say he's "starting to be happy." And hearing about his first anniversary 💕 Super happy for him and his boyfriend

[@esotericVideos]

I'm happy for/jealous of Adum. Maybe one day I can start to be happy too... ;_; That said, I really identify with Adum on a lot of things so I'm really happy for him. Even though he's very likable, as a depressed person I could definitely see some depression type things in him. So I'm happy to hear it's turning around. :)

[@HOTD108_]

And I'm giving true happiness a 6/10. It's closer to a 5 than a 7.

The "racial Disney" story about the laugh floor reminded me of something similar I HAVE to share. I'm an Orlando local, used to go to Disney all the time. One time I went to the monsters inc laugh floor and Marty wazowski (Mike's kid nephew) called on a kid in the audience who was Asian, he asked the kid what he wanted to be when he grew up. The kid said "a doctor" and Marty said "well that figures." quickly before moving on. Like it wasn't supposed to be focused on but he still SAID IT. My friends and I were AGHAST. I still think about it every time I go to/pass by the laugh floor.

Whoa, Adum had a ride break at Universal? I went with my family in like 2011 and we got stuck on the Men in Black ride and had to watch the five-second clip of Will Smith "erasing our memory", complete with a blinding flash that filled the whole room. We were stuck there while that played on repeat for twenty minutes before any employees finally came and let us out.

[@scubasteve7439]

Its very funny to me that Adam dunked on universal so hard and had a shitty experience as someone thats into theme parks, because the consensus in the online theme park community seems to be that disney's dropping the ball and on the decline and universal is steadily becoming the more worthwhile park to go to, and i think universal might be poised to overtake disney as the theme park market leader kind of soon? Which no ones done before, Ive personally had a better experience at disney than universal, but its interesting that the perspective of a tourist from Canada that knows nothing about the online theme park community is completely different from the theme park community's consensus

[@melmacianmage]

Yeah it doesn't help that Adum accidentally went on the shittiest rides at Universal and missed some of the better ones.

[@Jiggerjaw]

I loved universal, it was the best of everything we did for my son's wish trip.

[@rptheory7501]

I'm gonna be honest, when you're a regular theme park goer like most people in the online theme park community, the luster of solid and long lasting experiences falter. It's why they throw on seasonal overlays, for example. I think there's some cool stuff happening at Universal, but most people who go to theme parks are tourists or people who hit it up infrequently. Disney parks are still rock solid, while Universal can be a bit of a gamble, especially if you're not into the marquis IPs they're highlighting (Illumination stuff, Mario, Harry Potter )

[@jasonazus5909]

The ship that is boarded on Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance doesn't go anywhere, it just moves up and down to simulate movement, the doors open on the opposite side from which you get on when you get off is all...essentially it is just a doorway to the main ride

[@jxa-mov]

2:33:42 Adum, Adum, Adum. If you ever read this... I've got good news, and bad news. Good news: Warner DOES have a theme park. It's located in Madrid and has rides based on DC, Looney Tunes, Scooby Doo, and a couple of other properties. During Halloween, they have haunted houses based on The Conjuring, and IT. 2:36:37 Bad news: There's no Matrix. The park mostly focuses on the DC properties, and other family-friendly stuff, although, they're pretty fun too. Warning: If you ever do go there, don't get on the Old Western Territory. I personally didn't ride it, but many people have suffered from, let's say, castrations. If you look it up, the rollercoaster is made out of WOOD, and it's really bumpy and painful for obvious reasons. ⚰ That's all. Peace.

My name is in Epcot. When I was toddler age and went to the park, there was a promotion where you could pay to have your name engraved into a cobblestone. My parents did it for me. I have no idea where the stone is because they were apparently moved to a new location after a major remodel, but it's still in the park somewhere.

@@ProjectRedfoot Exactly, he was talking about the Fast and Furious ride starring Ludacris, so he could've been saying "Ludacris nonsense" or "Ludicrous nonsense" since the rapper's name is so similar to the word, hence my laughter at the probably unintentional double meaning

[@juishydomangoes8623]

YMS appreciating theme park design and artistry made my heart warm up.

[@MrBump2]

This was a good listen. I just jotted down some theme park crap that I related to as the video went on, so sorry to stampede into the comments with a wall of text. I've been on Smuggler's Run a few times and never had it buffer, though I did see one video online where someone glitched out into the skybox of the game which was pretty hilarious, I feel bad that Adum's was a little laggy. One time at the Laugh Floor, I saw the same "will buy everyone churros" prompt under just some guy, he wasn't Hispanic I don't think so idk if that was accidental spice for Adum's visit, but it got such a big laugh from the crowd that he was swarmed by random people chanting "Churros! Churros!" after the show was over, it was one of the best things I ever saw in that park. Also to answer Adum's question about Pirates, someone probably told him on stream or later or whatever, but they added those Jack Sparrows peppered throughout the ride around the time of the 2nd movie. They even updated the ride a bit with each movie adding projections of Davy Jones, Black Beard, mermaids in the water, etc., but the ride has kinda gradually reverted back to its vanilla form albeit with the Jack Sparrow parts still hanging around. I agree that leaving Magic Kingdom is the worst goddamn nightmare ever. Cramming onto the ferry or the monorail takes so long when I would rather just sprint to my car. I feel it that Universal feels a bit dated in comparison, but I love the time capsule of the 90's that some of that park is, it's got a unique charm in my opinion. I'm a whore for the Spider-Man and Men in Black rides, those are so nostalgic and perfect for me, haha. Fast and Furious: Supercharged is the worst ride ever. It replaced both Earthquake (AKA Disaster) and Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue, 2 much better experiences. Twister got turned into Jimmy Fallon's Race Through New York, though strangely the warehouse doors on the back of the building still say "Twister: Ride it Out" if you ever are on the backlot. I guess they didn't want to paint a new logo. I bet the Mummy ride was still under refurbishment when Adum went, that ride still rocks in my opinion. Funnily enough, the Bug's Life show predates the movie by almost 7 months. Odd promotion in my opinion. Dinosaur was also made quite a bit before the movie, so much so that they renamed the ride when the movie was coming out.

[@bagel_bitez1]

The clip of Adam at the Magic Kingdom eating a lobster roll has 90's dad energy. Also, is his boyfriend edited to be Bagheera from the live action Jungle Book? Because that's amazing.

I actually went to Universal just a year or two ago and I loved it. I've honestly forgotten most things about the trip, but I remember waiting in line for the Hulk ride Adum mentioned. Me and my dad were there for what felt like an hour, maybe two. And then the ride ended up being like two seconds long lol. Also we went to one of the HP restaurants, idk which one, but I got a half rotisserie chicken, potatoes, and corn on the cob that I remember being phenomenal. Also we rode the Gringott's ride maybe 3 times that day because it was so fun, and the line was like nonexistent for the rest of the day. Overall it was a trip I really enjoyed, but to be fair, we were mostly there for the HP stuff.

[@cd3568]

I went to Europea the first time I visited Montreal. I basically agree with your assessment, but I think it's fun for a one time experience. For Montreal tasting menu experiences, Garde Manger is amazing, economical, and has laidback vibes. Alma is also very good, but is a bit more upscale.

[@feaster1984]

@@hangoutwithme346 They don't do it that way since often you'll get like 8-10 individual small dishes. It would be pretty bad if you got full halfway through. I see it as a positive, as it means that I don't have to spend nearly as much if I'm just looking to get a full belly of good food at other kinds of restaurants. They are simply two different categories in my mind, with entirely different goals.

[@ingloriousbaxter]

This is a good pairing with Jenny Nicholson’s Evermore video

[@u805]

I actually was at Universal last year around the same time as Adum and had a really good experience, it was mostly just too hot. And yes while what he says is generally true I feel comparing the experience to Disney is like going to a Gordon Ramsey restaurant where he is there as the chef, having a fantastic meal, then going across the street to an Olive Garden and complaining that it doesn't have beef wellington. I mean of course Disney is going to have way more cool stuff they have trillions of dollars to work with and all the major IPs. Like the worst Disney park is still always going to have more cool stuff than the best Universal park. To me there is amusement parks and then their is Disney parks there is pretty much no point in comparing them. To me Universal felt like any other amusement park I've been to but with a lot more stuff to do and way cooler rides. I'd also like to add that I'm not some Universal or Disney fanboi I just think Adum's argument is a little silly, now if we was to say compare Universal to a Six Flags or Bush Gardens then it would be a lot more fair. This was really fun to watch/listen to, hope Adum does more of these. :)
