Hi everyone. I'm Simon and welcome to my little space on RU-vid. I like to think of here as a travel and lifestyle channel, with a geeky twist. Join me on my various adventures and enjoy vlogs from Disney World, Disneyland Paris, wrestling shows, comic cons and more. This is a space for love and positivity. If you like what you see, please do give me a subscribe.
I can’t wait to go again this year and I’m hoping next year the tickets prices become normal cheap price because I want to try and get a seat by the very front stage
The timing of this video to be recommended to me, i'm going to Smackdown/Clash at the OVO Hydro and it will be my first PLE too and i can't freakin wait!!
Hi Simon, what an incredible first day..all autographs and most Photos achieved 👍 Jammy Dodger on to a donut….yes please 😋 it looked absolutely packed there mate, they must have been making a lot of money 🤑 Sunday looked a lot more relaxing for you and cool you had company. Excellent coverage Simon, I would keep those pops in the box… but it’s entirely up to you 🤔 take care mate 👍😃👍
Good shout on the Funko mate. They’re still in the box at the moment 🤣. Thanks so much for watching pal. It was an excellent weekend with great memories made…and that donut was EPIC!!!
Fun video Simon. Thanks again for saying hi to Matt for me. Looks like a really good convention. Glad it went so well for you and you enjoyed it so much.
Ahhhhh!!! Fantastic! Hi Craig! Thanks so much for watching & for speaking to me at the event. Glad I know who you are now. Sorry if I was a bit awkward 😬. See you at the next one hopefully!
Nice one broski! Some amazing photos! I head in by myself too so I know what you mean, luckily we always see familiar faces!! If I’d of seen you I’d of holl’d at ya!
Just watching ppls vlogs getting in the mood for next weekend but u said that on the fri night the stslls were open but couldnt buy anything, was all the stalls open as im tempted to do the xpac talk anyway and was the reason u cant buy is because its "unfair" to everyone else who werent there? I bet thats the reason
I’m so sorry I missed this before the event! You’re exactly right - the stalls were set up ready for the next day but you couldn’t buy to keep it fair to everyone. I hope you had a great time at the event!
@@simonmichaeldavies funny just as you replied to me im watching your recent vlog of the weekend, wasen't there sun so just seeing how quieter it was like last yr, sunday is the best day but wanted to be there sat to see the stalls 1st for retro stuff, into my childhood wcw figs unfortunately not alot this yr
Hi Simon, I like the new gardens near the opening at EPCOT 🧐 blimey you managed to meet Mickey and Minnie (and Pluto) early on in the day. Very nice of you for setting that up for your parents 😇 have you ever been on the American Adventure show? that’s my favourite in EPCOT. Ooh I didn’t know the EPCOT ball lit up at night with a display, that’s beautiful. The Walt Disney statue is a nice touch looking out at his work. It’s sad saying goodbye to the Disney Parks, we usually go with Virgin and drop our suitcases off at Disney Springs in the morning of departure and spend around 5 hours in The Magic Kingdom before heading to the airport, it’s a nice way to end the holiday. Thanks for putting these videos up Simon, I know you had your doubts, take care mate👍😃👍
I think that Mickey & Minnie meet will stay with me forever. Such a special memory. Yeah the new gardens are lovely & the Epcot ball at night is spectacular, as is the Moana area. A seriously huge thank you for all the comments you’ve made on the videos mate - I’ve thoroughly enjoyed reading them & appreciate you taking the time to watch this series. Despite the channel not really growing how I’d hoped it would, I’m glad I saw this series through & really glad you liked it. Take care mate.
Hi Simon, gotta say you’ve had great weather overall on your vacation, I’m always impressed by the details Disney put into their parks, even on the queuing areas… wow the Lion King show has a lot of energy to it 😮 (same with the Finding Nemo show) it’s a shame the Dinosaur ride is ending soon 😢 The Mine Train is a ride at night 👌 take care mate👍😃👍
Yeah we were pretty lucky with the weather overall with the exception of a couple of rain showers here & there. The Lion King show is phenomenal. Can’t get enough of it. Thanks for watching mate!
Hi Simon, just two days left ☹️ well done getting on Slinky 👍 I don't blame you on cancelling some reservations and it can get extortionate. Nice Sully meet👍 I've been evaluated off several rides over the years, Test Track and Frozen on my last visit. Glad finally got to complete the ride. Take care mate 👍😀👍
Evacuated off Frozen must have been interesting! I really loved this Sulley meet. His hugs were excellent haha!!! And yeah, Slinky Dog was well worth the early start. Such a fun time.
Hi Simon, the Hard Rock Cafe is a great place to eat at Universal 👌well done on getting your first ride done within half an hour (especially as it was a rollercoaster) Hogsmead is a fantastic area to visit, I like the Broomsticks ride but most of my family feel sick after riding it 😬 your having incredible luck with rides and your lunch looked delicious once again 😋 it’s a shame they removed the Terminator ride ☹️ (i used to love the Twister, Jaws, Earthquake and Back To The Future rides too) the Gringotts ride is brilliant, I love the drop at the start into the blackness….. the smell as you go into the E.T ride is part of the ride 😁 I was once let in with 5 other people to the front of the Transformers ride (there was an hour and a half queue) I just asked someone jokingly “can you take me to the front of the line please” and they did 😁 made our day…. Excellent video Simon, take care mate👍😃👍
Haha maybe I should try that trick!!! All the Harry Potter rides are great at universal - really stellar work there. I definitely did Twister, Earthquake, Back to the Future & Jaws when I went years & years ago but don’t remember the terminator ride. Maybe I just missed that one.
Funny you should show Coco, I’ve just this minute finished watching it on tv 🤔 the coconut and custard bread looked delicious 😋 (as does most food in the parks) I always choose the single rider on Test Track… it cuts so much time. Marina sounds like an outstanding cast member 👍 Spaceship Earth is a must do attraction 👌take care mate👍😃👍
I loved Marina so much!! I keep hearing rumours Spaceship Earth is closing for a major refurb, but it carries on haha! Oh that school bread was epic and yay for Coco. I want a Coco themed ride & really wish they did a character meet with Miguel.
Hi Simon, the weather looked really muggy at the start, nice walk on with Big Thunder and The Haunted Mansion 👌The Tron ride looks epic 😮 I wonder how much moneys the cast members make in the parade costumes? The Paddle-steamer ride is so relaxing and gives great views. (yeah the old guy on the rocking chair had scary eyes 😬) the People Mover at night was a good move 👍 what a great way to spend the day (in The Magic Kingdom) take care mate👍😃👍
Thanks mate. Yes, this day felt really muggy all day for sure. A great one though. I’ve done Haunted Mansion so many times & it never ever gets old. Love it so much.
I love the vibe in The Animal kingdom, it’s so relaxing. Like you mentioned, it’s the small details that amaze me most. A pineapple-cream cheese spring roll sounds like it wouldn’t be nice but I’d give it a try and that was pretty good value for park food 🧐 that snake looked menacing 😬 Hollywood Studios used to be my favourite but now it’s EPCOT 🤔 I don’t like the fact they removed The Great Movie Ride 🤬 Muppet Vision, you can’t beat a bit of Kermit 🤣 nice one Simon, take care mate👍😃👍
Hi Simon, sorry to hear you’ve been experiencing a sore throat mate, it’s never nice to feel under the weather whilst on holiday. Nice of Daisy to do a spin for you 👌I’ve seen the Indiana Jones show many times and it never gets old 👍the Christmas decorations bouncing in the water in Hollywood Studios were cool. The Frozen show was lovely. Good timing with the Toy Story Soldiers and Chewy. I haven’t seen the Fantasia show since 1997 for some reason we kept missing it or it’s been cancelled but I’m determined to catch it next time I’m there. Excellent as always Simon, take care👍😃👍
Oh Fantasmic is my absolute favourite mate. You have got to see it. All the recent additions really add to it. Indiana is my Dad’s favourite show. He loves it!
Hi Simon, excellent video, if I ever win the lottery then I’m having the Disney engineers and builders do my house because they make everything look spectacular. The Moana area in E.P.C.O.T is beautiful, I can’t wait to experience it in person. Cool meet with Figment 👌 the weather really has been on your side 🤔 that was a lovely Christmas concert, very traditional and congratulations on having Ashley Eckstein fill in at the last minute, that was a stroke of luck, take care mate👍😃👍
Yes, felt so lucky to have Ashley & really made the trip. The Moana area is incredible both day & night. Really loved it. Great idea on the lottery win idea. I think I’d be with you on that one haha
Hi Simon, a walk on for Big Thunder Mountain and The Haunted Mansion, great start to the day 👌 Do you ever go in to The Hall Of Presidents? So nice to see your mother enjoying the Winnie The Pooh ride 😃 yeah you dad still looks like Alan Arkin 🧐 as annoying as It’s A Small Ride can be, we always go on it 🤣 The Pirates ride still gives me goosebumps to this day, one of the best. Awe Eeyore looked so sad, The Crystal Palace is one of the best places for character meets 👍 so cool you and your parents got to see the Seven Dwarfs. The snowfall after the spectacular fireworks looked very realistic. That was an incredible day Simon, take care👍😃👍
Glad you liked this one pal. I had an epic day making amazing memories. Hall of Presidents - I think I did that way back when I went when I was 13, but definitely not in recent years!!
Hi Simon, I’m confused…are you back, I see you videos are back on public 🧐 cool if you are mate 👍I love the Dinosaur ride in Animal Kingdom, shame it’s being re-imagined. Pandora is so beautiful and the lovely sunshine certainly helps too and the Na’vi River Journey ride seems very tranquil, the huge Na’vi animatronic is impressive. The Flight Of Passage is one I’d love to experience as well. The energy the cast members have in the Lion King show is something to be admired 😮 (bravo of your camera work by the way) can you imagine how much money Disney spend on those fireworks everyday across the parks. Lovely video Simon, take care mate👍😃👍
Hi mate. Well, after some lovely comments, including yours, I decided it would be a shame to leave all the footage on the cutting room floor so have decided to finish the rest of this series & then see how I feel then. Thanks as always for watching & I hope you enjoy the next one. It’s a bumper video but one of my favourite Disney days I’ve ever had! As always, really appreciate you mate ❤️
Hi Simon, the Beauty And The Beast show looked really good, I’ve only seen the Little Mermaid show they had in Hollywood Studios (back when it was called MGM) not sure if it’s still there 🧐 wow the Frozen show looked spectacular as well. Ahhh Star Tours is a cool ride and yeah a walk on is even better 👌The Star Wars zone is awesome, can’t wait to experience that myself. Nice one mate👍🎅🏻👍
The Star Wars land is so amazing mate. You’ll love it. The Little Mermaid show closed with COVID, but we did see it in 2019. They actually announced recently that a new little mermaid show is debuting there later this year though!
Hi Simon, looks like you guys are having a nice relaxed time, EPCOT is our favourite of the parks (obviously we love them all but EPCOT just tips the balance) enjoying these videos mate, take care and Merry Christmas 👍🎅🏻👍
I’m always jealous of you in battu and rise of the resistance! Looks amazing and nice to hear James Arnold Taylor lending his voice to it. Another great vlog pal
Hi Simon, I know how you feel, I’ve been in the Magic Kingdom when they reached capacity and its was incredibly difficult to get anything done. At least Disney have the foresight to put in parades and castle shows to keep the crowds entertained throughout the day, I’ve never caught a rain parade before so that was nice to see. Pirates Of The Caribbean is a solid ride to start off with 👌 I super jealous, the Tron ride looks epic 👍and cool pin from the ride…. Nice one mate, take care👍🎅🏻👍
Hi Simon, nice view of Stonehenge on the way 👍 looked like a great start to the holiday, I’m the same when staying in a hotel, I need a couple of nights before I get used to the bed 🧐 having a smooth flight can make all the difference to a holiday. Great tip with getting a good breakfast before starting a long journey 👌 (not forgetting the coffee too 😁) being 6ft 4 I could really do with the extra leg room (Im very jealous) my knees have to rest up against the chair in front… that’s a nice selection of inflight entertainment…wow that meal looked delicious 😋 it’s a lovely feeling when you land and that epic flight is finally done 🤔 when you go in the shops, it seems like you need to wear blinkers 🤣 it can all be so tempting, thanks for taking us along with you Simon, take care mate👍🎅🏻👍
Hi Simon, sounds like you had a great vacation (I had a feeling you would have 😃) cool Universal pin….ooh wow that vintage ride T-Shirt is so cool, I remember fondly all those rides 🧐 we used to keep the reusable cups but we collected so many they took too much space and sadly we threw them all away (I know, I know 😬) I have to stop discarding the Disney stuff 🤔 oooh I like that StarBucks cup 👌 my wife loves the spirit jersey’s and is desperate to go back and get some from WDW. The black Star Wars bust are so detailed, they look like they are carved from Obsidian 🧐 awe, your mum will love the Bambi picture. Nice one Simon, and if I don’t speak to you before, have an incredible Christmas and a very happy New Year, take care mate 👍🎅🏻👍
Thanks so much for all the lovely comments on these vids mate. Sorry it’s taken so long for me to reply!! But yes - stop discarding Disney things 🤣. My mum loved that Bambi print by the way!
I’m glad the travel day was so smooth as you’ve not had much luck with travelling this year. 😊excited to see what you get up to on the rest of the series and always fun seeing what you get up to!
Lovely travel day vlog. So glad to see it was nice and smooth for you. And you in the shop in your hotel on arrival day seeing 25 things you wanted lol, that's so me lol. Can't wait to see all the other vlogs
Those pins are so lovely and I can see why you enjoy the family pins as the designs are terrific. Great video and looking forward to the vlogs my friend
