Good early. Well, good morning slash
0:13
almost afternoon.
0:16
His name is James Ryan Brookart. Her
0:18
name is Eve Thaddius Brookhart. And
0:21
today we're making breakfast potatoes.
0:44
And here's how the brunch potatoes
0:47
turned out. They look pretty good. I had
0:49
a little sneaky snack piece and I think
0:51
they taste okay. We'll see. Sarah will
0:53
be the judge.
0:55
James loves a goofy movie. Just sitting
0:58
here watching it.
1:04
Are you the biggest kid in town?
1:10
Oh gosh.
1:14
You love it.
1:16
We made it.
1:16
We made it to Epcot
1:19
during the daylight.
1:20
During the daylight.
1:21
Hours of daylight. Not like 30 or 40
1:23
minutes. Hours
1:25
hours of daylight. I'm just going to
1:26
copy what you say the rest of the vlog.
1:29
No, I'm so happy because we thought we
1:31
were coming here yesterday and we ended
1:33
up not. But now we're here. I think
1:36
we're going to do PPC lounge.
1:37
Mhm.
1:38
And that's really our only plans.
1:39
Oh, rumor on the on the tour in the tour
1:42
sphere.
1:43
Yeah.
1:44
Is that you can walk into the the new
1:46
area of France. So there's a bathroom
1:47
back there
1:48
by where the Ratatouille ride is going
1:49
to be
1:50
and you can go up to the queue, I think.
1:51
Um
1:52
saw the bathroom. It's okay. I'm a big
1:55
Oh, you saw it?
1:56
Saw photos of it, which I which I think
1:57
are illegal. I think it's illegal to
1:59
take photos inside bathrooms,
2:01
but somebody did and put them on
2:02
Twitter.
2:02
Yeah.
2:02
Looked mediocre to me, but maybe we'll
2:05
stop by. Maybe we'll get a coffee and
2:06
beignet.
2:08
No. Bagot bag. Not a beet. Bagot.
2:11
Paint by numbers is in full force. This
2:14
is the first time we've seen people
2:16
actually painting. You pick up your
2:18
paint here
2:20
and then it's all social distanced over
2:22
there.
2:23
I'm having a hard time seeing today.
2:25
Yeah,
2:25
my sunglasses won't adjust to the mask
2:27
fog. And it's very sunny.
2:29
It is very sunny. And there's like no
2:31
clouds. It's
2:32
beautiful.
2:33
So beautiful.
2:33
But it's like, do I want no glasses and
2:35
squint or do I want glasses? Try not to
2:38
squint but then walk through fog and not
2:40
see the beauty of festivals.
2:45
Peter got his strawberry cream soda. I
2:47
got a little fancy and did cherry coke
2:49
instead of just normal Coke with it
2:52
being busier. I think I think Ben I've
2:54
definitely been up here with somebody
2:56
with a stroller before.
2:57
I just ran up the stairs with this jean
2:59
jacket on cuz it's definitely I must
3:01
have my phone must have not refreshed
3:02
the weather this morning when I looked.
3:03
It must have been yesterday's weather
3:05
cuz like it's going to be 55° today at
3:08
like 3:00. I don't need a jacket today.
3:10
It's 70°.
3:11
Yeah. um with him.
3:13
So, we couldn't bring the stroller up,
3:16
but we haven't shown him since we've
3:18
been here.
3:18
He's sus. He was pretty awake all
3:20
morning.
3:21
Yeah.
3:21
So, he might be out this whole visit.
3:23
Yeah.
3:24
The Petresses are here in the park,
3:26
so we might see them.
3:27
Yeah.
3:28
Um
3:29
I'm going to relax.
3:30
I love it up here. We don't come up here
3:32
enough.
3:32
Sue is not here.
3:33
I already asked.
3:34
Mhm.
3:35
James needs to meet Sue and Sue needs to
3:36
meet James. Sue, I don't know if you
3:38
actually watch these vlogs. I don't even
3:39
know if you know they exist.
3:42
But if you do, our son wants to meet
3:44
you. I'm going to be honest, this view
3:47
is one of the most my favorite views of
3:48
my entire life. And I will say being up
3:50
in the DVC lounge does make me like sad
3:53
about leaving Florida, but
3:56
as far as we know, it'll be here
3:57
whenever we come back and visit. And
3:58
we're already talking about booking.
4:00
Yeah.
4:01
A a time frame summertime this summer. I
4:05
want summer, fall, and winter this year.
4:07
That's my goal. This is one of my
4:08
favorite places in all Disney World for
4:11
many many reasons. But look at that
4:13
spaceship.
4:14
This wasn't here like when we signed up
4:16
for DVC. Like this wasn't like
4:18
we never like this just like happened.
4:21
I love it. And it's magic. I'm home
4:23
and he's been here now. Oo, his his eyes
4:26
stir.
4:31
Sweet baby.
4:35
All
4:52
right. This stuff looks so good. We had
4:54
to stop the This stuff looks so good. We
4:55
had to stop the montage. Look at the
4:58
crystals. Thank you for saying
5:00
what did you call it?
5:01
It's molden salt. It's just like fancy
5:03
flaky salt.
5:05
Look at that.
5:06
Right there.
5:09
Oh yeah.
5:13
I already dove into our so yummy. So we
5:17
ate every last bit of that. So yummy. We
5:20
did like the BLT better, which typically
5:23
we like the Reuben more, but it was so
5:26
so good. The pork belly was awesome. I
5:29
actually like the portion of the Reuben.
5:30
There was a lot of meat, but BLT will
5:33
for sure for sure get
6:04
Look at those painted flowers. Is there
6:06
a line going?
6:07
Beautiful.
6:09
Here.
6:10
You're here just for the bathroom.
6:11
I don't even care about the ride. I just
6:12
want to check out the new bathroom.
6:15
We were saying we like how the Skyliner
6:17
goes right over it. Even the street
6:19
lamps have beautiful details.
6:24
And this is going to be the new crepe
6:27
location. Our favorite part is the
6:30
shadows.
6:31
I give the bathroom a B minus. There's
6:32
no
6:33
I really like the um
6:34
the tiles on the side.
6:35
I really like the stall doors.
6:38
Yeah, that's key. I like the flooring. I
6:40
know that's kind of weird.
6:41
I like the tiles outside, but there's no
6:43
mirror in front of the sink. And the
6:44
sinks weren't automatic soaps or
6:48
or paper.
6:50
So, Peter and I are hopeful that
6:52
Ratatouille opens before we move. So,
6:55
our guess is February. What are your
6:57
guys guesses for the ride?
6:59
We said April.
7:00
We said April, but I hope you guys are
7:02
right and not us.
7:04
Comment below what you think it is. I
7:06
think with them opening that path, it's
7:08
kind of like a good
7:11
good sign. Yeah.
7:12
So, at the American Garden Theater,
7:15
they're doing Animation Academy, Maria
7:17
Cobra, and Voices of Liberty. We are
7:20
here for the 550 show.
7:23
Hello everyone. Please join us now as we
7:26
step into the Disney song books
7:35
to the test. The soul grows wide on the
7:39
mountain tonight. Not a footprint to be
7:42
seen.
7:44
A kingdom of
7:47
it looks like I'm the queen.
7:51
I don't care what they're going to say.
7:57
Let the stor.
8:01
Let the stor
8:08
find out who you are.
8:15
tomorrow.
8:16
If you keep on,
8:25
the dreams that you wish
8:30
will come true.
8:38
If your heart is in your dream,
8:42
no request is to exist.
9:09
I will
9:11
fly. She's
9:15
They didn't sing this in the last show.
9:18
the wind.
9:21
I will hear their story.
9:34
So, as you know, the barges are in the
9:37
water at World Showcase, but tonight
9:39
this one's all lit up. It's crazy. It
9:43
looks like a massive building. Did you
9:46
see that? It shut off as I was
9:49
recording. He's
9:50
trying to
9:51
Oh gosh.
9:52
Please be quiet, daddy.
9:55
Sty boy his name and rocking Hufflepuff
9:57
is his game.
9:58
He and Can I show his outfit real quick?
10:02
He has Sketchbook Mickey on for Festival
10:04
of the Arts.
10:05
And he looks like a little artist with a
10:08
stripey pants.
10:13
So, I'm going to make ratatouille for a
10:16
late dinner. My eggplant wasn't very
10:18
small, so it's not in circles like the
10:19
rest of it, but hopefully it'll be okay.
10:22
Um, I will link the recipe I'm using
10:25
below. Now that these are all sliced up,
10:28
I'm going to make the sauce. The sauce
10:31
starts with olive oil, onion, a full
10:33
onion, red pepper, yellow peppers, and
10:37
then four cloves of garlic. and then
10:41
salt and pepper. While that is cooking,
10:43
I made the little seasoned topper that
10:46
goes on at the end. It's basil and thyme
10:49
and parsley, garlic, and olive oil, salt
10:52
and pepper. So, I realized that I had
10:54
bought crushed tomatoes and diced
10:56
tomatoes. And the crushed tomatoes were
10:58
actually for the ratatouille, and the
11:00
diced were for the curry I made, but I
11:03
flip-flopped them. So, I'm using diced
11:06
tomatoes. Um, and I actually got fire
11:09
roasted diced tomatoes. So hopefully, I
11:11
mean, it's just going to add a little
11:12
bit more spunk to the flavor, but the
11:15
recipe does call for crushed tomatoes.
11:16
All righty. The the veggies are all
11:19
circled up. And I put the topper on. I'm
11:22
going to cover it, bake it at 375 for 40
11:25
minutes covered in foil, and then
11:28
another 20 minutes uncovered. I also
11:31
have a ton of extra veggies. I think I
11:33
might just like chop them up and put
11:35
them in the fridge. I know they'll get
11:37
used. Um, but that was a lot a lot of
11:40
extras. I wasn't expecting that.
11:42
It is so early for my standard running
11:45
time. But we thought since Sarah was
11:46
cooking that just looking right at James
11:50
was asleep. We wanted to get things
11:52
done. But probably better use of time to
11:55
run now while she was cooking cuz I'm
11:58
only I'm doing a little little 5k I
12:00
think. We'll see where how I feel. I
12:01
feel good now.
12:03
The cool air is both good and bad. But
12:08
as my buddy Steve from Tampa just text
12:11
me and said,
12:13
"Dude,
12:15
you're complaining about the cold now.
12:16
Just wait until you get to Chicago."
12:19
Fair enough. I'll just get out and run
12:21
then. So,
12:24
it's time to go home. Ooh, those I
12:28
ran
12:30
that 5k faster than I run in a long
12:33
time. I feel good. So, it feels good.
12:35
But, um, I just pulled the bot, not the
12:38
botch, the reatoule out of the stove and
12:40
it looks so good.
12:43
Look at this with all the steam and the
12:46
deliciousness.
12:48
Woo!
12:49
I want a burger.
12:50
You want a b You want me go get I'll go
12:52
get you a burger. watching a classic
12:54
51st Dates
12:55
and I'm about to do something
12:59
for quite some time.
13:00
A little crazy.
13:07
Every day feels a little bit more real.
13:12
That is all boxed up. It's still
13:15
attached to the wall. We won't take that
13:16
off until we pack it up. But wo, that's
13:21
even late for us. Everybody fell asleep
13:24
on the couch. Today's the 18th. Today's
13:27
message is by
13:30
Akanska Gulia.
13:33
With a little love and a little light,
13:35
we'll get through this life. So Sarah's
13:38
getting James ready for bed. Hope
13:40
everybody had a great Martin Luther King
13:42
Day. If you're not in a country that
13:43
celebrates it, look it up. It's so uh
13:46
the ideals of Martin Luther King need to
13:49
be spread across the whole world. Uh,
13:51
and with that, it's good to be home.
14:16
We know what our goals are. We know what
14:19
we hope to accomplish. And believe me,
14:22
it's the most exciting and challenging
14:24
assignment we've ever tackled at Walt
14:26
Disney Productions.
