15:37 2 of those floats are still in use today! The Villains float is part of the Boo to You Mickey’s Halloween Parade & the castle float is used for the Once Upon a Christmas Time parade & it was also used for a Princess cavalcade during the pandemic

Giraffes typically live between 25 and 30 years, with some in captivity living even longer. In the wild, most giraffes do not live past the age of 20. The Fairy Godmother use to wear a mask , now she is a face character. I guess Disney likes to switch things up, to keep everyone guessing. I heard your voice ( same personality) definitely, a younger version of you.

That was fun. The dresses seen at the 8:15 time stamp are reminiscent of the attire worn by the Southern aristocracy in the 1800s here in the US. If you watch H’wood movies from the ‘30s and ‘40s set in the South, these dresses play a big visual role in the movies. ‘Gone With the Wind’ is the most famous, though ‘Jezebel’ is worth watching as well. I doubt they have them anymore due to cultural sensitivity. I see what you mean when you said people buy merch in bulk. In another vlog I watched, the Disney store at the mall just put out new merch on the shelves, and customers were buying 40+ Loungefly bags in a single purchase. Sad that Disney allows this. I can’t believe these resellers go to the store daily to see what’s new. Maybe Disney restocks on the same day of each week. However, I suspect the employees tip off friends/family as to when new merch will be put out. Very, very sad.

Great series and good choice of items purchased. Don’t understand why Disney doesn’t properly stock its shelves with the proper sizes. It knows what it should carry! Love the parts of the haul videos where Brits show the foods they take home. American here. We take all of that for granted, as they are readily available to us every day of the year. Looking forward to your next series.

I think scalpers are to blame tbh - they probably don't want to put all stock out as there are people who will purchase them all to resell at a higher price. The vast variety of food US have compared to UK is insane! Always love to stock up

@@benjaminsteven_ Good point about the resale. I’ve seen this said in other channels as well, but didn’t give it much thought. They should limit the number of same items you can purchase to avoid this. Our regular neighborhood grocery stores outside tourist areas do offer variety, but not like those I see in these Orlando vlogs - which are def geared for the tourists. Come back to the US soon, as I enjoy your videos.

Hey Lads , If you are in the US , and want Mac & Cheese ( boxes) , skip the Kraft. Instead, look for Annie’s organic Mac & Cheese in boxes. It has a big white rabbit 🐇 on the cover. It offers better quality & flavor. Just make sure it’s the Annie’s organic Mac & Cheese , and you will never go back.

LOL. Fun Facts - yes, TRex is owned by Rainforest, which is why the menu is the same. Cool place! But more geared towards the dinosaur obsessed youngsters. Nice to hear you're a RedVines fan.

I’ve been to Cozumel on a Norwegian Cruise 🚢, I have no desire to ever return. We were offered the services ( if you know what I mean ) of the man’s wife & mother. He then suggested we could offer services to him for a price. He was covering all the bases I guess. My mates & I had less than zero interest in any of that, and were rather taken aback. You are completely correct about the state of a lot of the areas , very rundown & sketchy. It definitely was an experience, that I and mates , hope to never experience again.
