Adam TheWoo

Want a unique look at DisneyWorld or Universal Orlando? Have you ever wondered what happened to old attractions like River Country or maybe the Nickelodeon Studios? Were you able to capture your 24 hour marathon at the Magic Kingdom on February 29th,2012? Maybe you wish you could find locations that some classic movies were filmed? One such man is doing that this very moment and you can share in his  adventures. Adam TheWoo is the adventurer that does things most of us only dream of and Youtube is his current venue!

Wonder what Adam TheWoo is filming today...another amazing video

First let me warn you his videos are awesome, but what Adam does is not necessarily authorized and you probably should not try them on your own. It is also important to note that from his own bio on his webpage  he makes it very clear "I will NEVER break into a place, steal anything, spray paint walls or destroy anything. I am completely opposed to all these things!"

Adam has amassed over 11,000 Youtube followers and that number is climbing everyday! The adventures he embarks on gives some really cool perspectives on some great locations and abandoned places.

I was fortunate enough to happen upon Adam's Youtube channel about a year and half ago and even more fortunate to run into him in September when he was preparing to make a new video at Universal Studios. Occasionally in his videos you can see him wearing one of our Matt's Firehouse Family Vacations t-shirts.:) It was great to meet him in person and see how he films his adventures. The day I was able to meet him, he was able to capture an experience with his camera that many people's pictures(including mine) can't do justice. You can check out that experience by clicking here, then check out some of these great videos.

The view is sure to be different in March of 2013. With the California Grill closing for an overhaul we hope we are able to get up there and get some more pictures.

EPCOT...30 Years of Memories

EPCOT has evolved from Walt Disney's first vision of the Experimental Community of Tomorrow. EPCOT today is much different than it was on the day it opened October 1st, 1982.  Have you seen this timeline when you were are at EPCOT?

EPCOT's 30th Anniversary October 1st,2012

We are back from our Fall trip and had a BLAST, especially at EPCOT's 30th celebration. 

On October 1st, we took our time to wander EPCOT from the park's opening ceremony to the park's Fantastic 30th Anniversary Illumination closing celebration. We listened to a few speeches in the afternoon, sipped on some Margaritas listening to 90's Pop group Sugar Ray, purchased some limited edition 30th Anniversary merchandise, then staked out our spot between Mexico and Norway to watch the night go out with a bang.  Take a look at some of our pictures and video of the 30th Anniversary tag to Illuminations.

This is just a sampling of the fun we had, stay tuned there is so much more to come!

Each guest through the turnstile got one of these

Crowds gathered early to mark this celebration.

The crowd sang One Little Spark before rope drop

The new test track car prototype, Opening soon.

Extra barges and fireworks were being added all day to Illuminations

It was a beautiful day

Three sets performed by Sugar Ray made the evening enjoyable

The 30th Anniversary Tag to Illumination was amazing. Here is our recording of the Tag.  There was so much going on around the lagoon, I choose to focus on the  higher fireworks.It is not the best video because of the camera trying to continually focus but the grand finale comes through just fine.

Good Bye EPCOT, thanks for the party see in Spring of 2013!

Now that we are home, we have well over 1200 pictures to sort through. So stay tuned for Photo tours of Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party, Twilight Zone of Terror 5k Haunted Trail Run, Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios,  and sooooo much more.
