The thing is, every time you are filming yourself enjoying shows and looking as happy as a child, i start crying! Makes me happy to see you that happy! ❤
I love Garden Grill. I love that you can see Walt’s childroom bedroom from the restaurant. And Living with the Land is also one of my favorite ride! Different tastes haha
I have been to Northern Norway, inside the arctic circle, and would highly recommend a visit. It is a beautiful country, with stunning scenery and friendly people. I would definitely watch a Vlog from there, if you do one 🇮🇸
Harmonious was so beautiful. I love a Disney song sang in a native language. It always feels more special. I loved the storyline as well and how alive it felt. One of the best fireworks shows ever. Along with Disney dreams and wishes
Absolutely agree about Harmonious, that show was incredible. We didn't even see it front and center, and it still moved our hearts. That said, I have never seen the lagoon without the barges, but I can imagine it without them, and I really don't understand how people have been making such a fuss about how they "ruin" the view 🙄 I will miss it dearly.
you should defo go on a disney cruise! i started watching your videos about 2 years ago as i was going to disneyland paris, i love your videos so much!!! Also hope ur mum is doing okay now x
I enjoyed this Vlog it was extra fun watching with my husband because he hasn’t watched your vlogs before! When you were hungry at Epcot he said “she will just eat the first food she sees”. Then you see corn and say “I’m buying this because I’m so hungry and it’s the first food I have seen”! Lol. We both willed you to sing the “corn Song” but it didn’t happen. Please learn the song for next time you feature corn I feel it’s essential! 😂
It’s really nice to go on Living on the Land first and then go to Garden Grill right after. That’s what I did and it made me appreciate Living of the Land more because then you see the food you will get at Garden Grill.
Hi Sam, love hearing you speak about the Giraffes! And as you say , such majestic , gracious animals. Ooh Epcot looks amazing , love all the topiaries. And I love Orange bird, he's very cute 😍So cool seeing animals after your Nemo ride at the Seas. I'm so thrilled you got to meet Joy, love her 🥰 And I really like the Norway Pavillion, great merch & area. Oh wow Harmonious looks so magical 🤩 x
I can completely empathise with your fear of flying things. I too, am afraid of anything flying near me, even if they are beautiful. I actually went in the budgie enclosure in Gatorland in Florida, terrifying but amazing. Well done you for facing your fear 😎
So nice to have an in-depth Epcot review. Most people just pop in go on saorin etc and come out.. Lovely to see it fully. Buy what you want Sam…I would be going crazy buying everything lol 👍🇬🇧
Was feeling a little jealous so just booked Disneyland Paris for next month, loving the view you have. Haven’t had the chance to visit Epcot but it’s on the bucket list 😊
For the magic band plus, you only need to charge it if you want it to light up or make the 50th things make noise. But it works the normal way without it being charged. If that make sense 😅
I love Harmonious so much!! Especially the Hercules, Mulan, Hunchback, Coco and Someday sections. The special effects and fireworks are amazing. I'm gonna really miss this show
I am so glad I'm not the only one scared of butterflies! Sure, their wings are gorgeous but their FACES AND BODIES. NOPE. I also gotta take some perverse joy in the lack of photopass photographers at the characters after people constantly moaning about the lack in Paris "BeCauSE In FloRiDa". I gotta take my joys where I can xD THAT MEEKO PLATE. Ohmygod. $50 + tax is insane but daaaaaamnnnnnn I love it! (The Tink bags are in Paris as well! Same as those light blue Winnie the Pooh ones!)
My take on Garden Grill is that it’s popular for 3 reasons, the menu is standard American comfort food and almost everyone will find something they like, characters, and living with the land is a cult classic Disney ride. I think people enjoy that you can see into it from garden grill. I think people love living with the land for the same reasons they love the people mover, it’s quiet and there’s air conditioning and sometimes you just need a few minutes of dark, quiet, cold when you’re running around the parks all day. Side note, I recommend the behind the seeds tour, it’s a fun behind the scenes tour of the land greenhouse.
Hi Sam! I love watching you're video's! They are so helpfull! When is the rest of your Disney World trip on TH-cam? I can't wait! Just love love love watching it! X from Holland!
Sam every time I see the Norway troll I think of you and it makes me happy! 😊 also you can definitely wear Norway ears! I got the UK ones you know I did!! 🥰😆😆
I had such a magical time at garden grill because we had a not so good experience at space 220 earlier in the day and the cast member at garden grill went above and beyond to make our meal so magical😍 now its one of the restaurants I will go every trip so I think being pixie dusted definitely helped my love for that place 🫶 love the vlog sam!! X
Hi Sam I hope your enjoying Disney world and the flower garden festival 🌸🌼🌺🍄💐🍃, also I wanted to wish you a happy Easter 🐣 hope you have a beautiful holiday weekend meeting characters and trying great food,, I hope you have a magical day 🥰🥰💕
instead of battling the post show exiting crowd at epcot you might have checked out if connections cafe was still serving. at least if you could only get pizza it would be a decent slice.
harmonious is actually leaving because the barges are a maintenance nightmare 😬 due to the mixed response of enchantment and the technical issues with harmonious, they’ve decided to retire both shows. i personally wish both enchantment and harmonious could’ve been “fixed” and were allowed to stay :(
Garden Grill is a fantastic break. food is great character interactions are as much as you want and it turns through the living with the land attraction.
Hi Sam I watch all of your vlogs I feel like you are the queen of disneyland paris I am visiting for the first time in May so I don't know anything about it I feel like I am asking a daft question but is the fireworks display in one of the particular parks x
I believe Harmonious lacked the “heart” of the beloved “Happily Ever After” for many, especially the locals. Tbh, I liked Harmonious, but I’m not from FL and when I viewed HEA, it did seem to be more emotionally charged. 😊
I feel as constructive feedback I need to encourage you to research Orange Bird More, appreciate him and then buy all the Orange Bird Merch like I do. He is not a Disney character he is a Walt Disney World Character! Think of him like Betty Rose and Jimmy Ocean who are unique to DLP! Iconic yet not Disney characters!
Hi! I'm going to Disneyworld for the first time this year. I've been watching your vlogs again. I saw on your insta that you are in world again. And I have a question. I noticed you didn't get a magicband here with your stay. But friends of mine went just a few months ago and they did get the simple magic band. So did you get one this time? I would like just the simple magic band. Can you buy them 2nd hand? Or will they not work? Have a nice holiday!✨
It’s quite funny seeing the contrast between you in Disneyland Paris vs Disney world Sam! Because you seem by comparison, so much more critical of Disneyworld. Whereas, I’m the opposite - I went to Disneyworld as a child, (from age 6). I’ve only been to Disneyland Paris at 17 and 40. So, for me Disney Paris just does not compare at all. I think the overall atmosphere and the the standard of service etc is really lacking at Disneyland paris, it’s beautiful for sure, but disappointing in many ways and so expensive. For me Disneyworld is worth the expense. I’m thinking some of it is what you experience as a child though. For example, I actually LOVED the land and garden grill as a kid! Epcot was my favourite. It was the whole atmosphere of it, I can’t explain it. I loved the storm, the water and the smells in the land which are so nostalgic and the attraction of the garden grill was that you turn into the ride. So, that’s quite exciting as a kid. For me, there are rides that are long gone that I loved the most - the original figment ride, horizons and probably most of all, maelstrom - which is now frozen. I would still love to go back to disneyland Paris because it’s so much closer to home, but it’s hard to justify the cost for me. ESP as it’s not easy to get to from the north in the UK!
I think it’s cuz I never went to Disney World as a child, and from my understanding, most of what people love about Epcot is the nostalgic feel of it. For sometime stepping into Epcot in 2023, it really doesn’t have much charm or beauty (outside the Flower & Garden festival and World Showcase) imo. Disneyland Paris is my home park, so I’m used to it - which is probably why it seems like I’m not as critical of it. In reality though, I’m just as critical when it comes to things I feel are poor in DLP. Overall though, I do think most rides and lands look better in DLP. But Disney World also has a lot of good qualities Disneyland Paris lacks, and I’ve made sure to point those out too. From live entertainment on Main Street, to the snack variety and easy security, I’ve pointed all those out as being better throughout the vlogs 😃
@@Sam4G0d Yes - I agree that must be it. It was the nostalgic feeling from childhood that makes it so magical for me. But I'm so sad to hear that you feel that Epcot doesn't have much charm and beauty now 😭😭😭... I'm going in September, (first time since 2019). And I have to say, I am a little worried that it won't feel the same!! I really hope not, because we also became DVC members in 2021. We haven't yet been since then. Anyway, love all your vlogs Sam and totally not a dig to you by the way, I totally appreciate all points of view and find it interesting how we all experience things differently. In a way, I really wish I had been to DLP as a child - because then I'd have some of that same connection. I still love some of the UK theme parks for example, even though they're really not comparable. Because I went to them since I was a small child and.there are so many memories involved. xx
@@KittyMeowWow I grew up going to DLP and very critical of it compared to WDW. I’ve been to WDW a few times and it blew my mind every time. I still enjoy DLP for the nostalgia but WDW is superior imo. I also love Garden Grill and Living with the Land which I didn’t know until I was in my 30’s 😄
@@ytreza27 I’ve not been to garden grill since I was 11 - but I remember absolutely loving it. Yes, Disneyworld was just so magical and I went there first before DLP. So, for me DLP was really not that comparable but, I did still enjoy it and hope to go back when they’ve done more updates!
The thing is, every time you are filming yourself enjoying shows and looking as happy as a child, i start crying! Makes me happy to see you that happy! ❤
Aw thank you, Sannie :)
Sam, buy the ears. Life is too short to worry if it would be weird to wear ears that say Norway.
👌🏼
You are such a lovey positive person. Your blogs are so uplifting. Thanks Sam
Aw thanks so much! Glad ups enjoy them :)
I love Garden Grill. I love that you can see Walt’s childroom bedroom from the restaurant. And Living with the Land is also one of my favorite ride! Different tastes haha
The lovely lady from South Africa was wearing the most beautiful top/dress

Sam, you are the Molly (Mammoth Club) of Disneyland Paris. I have loved watching you enjoy Disney World!!
What a lovely compliment! Love Molly! Thank you 😁
I love butterflies from Eleanor regular video watcher
Garden grill is a great place to eat with children. Good wholesome food with characters and views of the ride to keep them happy. Dx
you should defo go on a disney cruise! i started watching your videos about 2 years ago as i was going to disneyland paris, i love your videos so much!!! Also hope ur mum is doing okay now x

Magic band interacts with all 50 statues , at all 4 parks🎉
We loved harmonious 🥰
So nice to have an in-depth Epcot review.
Most people just pop in go on saorin etc and come out..
Lovely to see it fully.
Buy what you want Sam…I would be going crazy buying everything lol 👍🇬🇧

I love for a long Sam Vlog my absolute favorite I'm so excited for this series ❤❤❤
Aw thanks, Elle! :)
I love Harmonious so much!! Especially the Hercules, Mulan, Hunchback, Coco and Someday sections. The special effects and fireworks are amazing. I'm gonna really miss this show
Yes, so many great moments!
The orange bird character was created in 1969 and was a symbol for WDW opening in 1971 its not just to do with flower and garden!
I am so glad I'm not the only one scared of butterflies! Sure, their wings are gorgeous but their FACES AND BODIES. NOPE.
I also gotta take some perverse joy in the lack of photopass photographers at the characters after people constantly moaning about the lack in Paris "BeCauSE In FloRiDa". I gotta take my joys where I can xD
THAT MEEKO PLATE. Ohmygod. $50 + tax is insane but daaaaaamnnnnnn I love it!
(The Tink bags are in Paris as well! Same as those light blue Winnie the Pooh ones!)
I am a big figment fan but I have going to epcot since 1982
from the USA here... But yes we loved m2m and s club 7 growing up!!
Yey!

Your reasonings make sense! I'll have to try that tour one day x
I loved harmonious too…it was the only show I’ve seen in Epcot so maybe it’s unfair for me to compare but I found it really special
Lovely to see your chilled vibe at morning time 🦒🦒🦒🦒beautiful you defo need to rest too. 🐬 🐟 🦈 xxx
Hi Sam! I love watching you're video's! They are so helpfull! When is the rest of your Disney World trip on TH-cam? I can't wait! Just love love love watching it! X from Holland!
Thanks so much, Jenny! They should be up soon - with the next one up tomorrow hopefully :)
Sam every time I see the Norway troll I think of you and it makes me happy! 😊 also you can definitely wear Norway ears! I got the UK ones you know I did!! 🥰😆😆

So excited for this video!! Perfect Easter gift
Thanks Cat
Oh I want these Norway ears!!!! ❤❤
Yes Sam get the Ears from Norway they are really Pretty! You are a Lovely Person, I enjoy ALL of your Videos❤️
Thank you so much 🥰
best magic band selection is at the old epcot store near the entrance. also, maybe an AKL band ?
the problem w harmonious is both the daytime view of the tacos and that only a fraction of the crowd can see the head on view you saw.
Hi Sam I hope your enjoying Disney world and the flower garden festival 🌸🌼🌺🍄💐🍃, also I wanted to wish you a happy Easter 🐣 hope you have a beautiful holiday weekend meeting characters and trying great food,, I hope you have a magical day 🥰🥰💕
Thank you, and to you x
@@Sam4G0d your welcome Sam
Great video, thank you!!!
Buy the Norway top and wear it to Norway 😍
instead of battling the post show exiting crowd at epcot you might have checked out if connections cafe was still
serving. at least if you could only get pizza it would be a decent slice.
Sadly they stopped serving food at 9pm, which is when Harmonious started x

From Animal Kingdom Lodge to Epcot? Sadly only buses x
