TDW 1614 - Security Was Following Me 

At about 9:58 Adam got on the EXACT same ferry as me and I ran into him at EPCOT. Highlight of my day, thanks Adam.

i will never look at a Circle K the same way again. Drive safe Adam

1) Higher octane gas is needed for higher performance engines. It burns slower to reduce detonation in higher compression and forced induction engines which can damage the engine. 2) I'd probably avoid the Gatlinburg area for a little while. They're going to have to do ALOT of cleanup, unless you're going to volunteer to help.

It was great watching you the last few years then found this. It’s awesome how much happier you seem it’s great to see how you have progressed over the years!! GREAT JOB!

YAY my hand is in the video! lol :) 8:26 festooning on the left side, holding a red camera - no one cares but me, but I think it's fun!

I love the idea of MGM studios being the Hollywood that never was. Great video man!

I don't know if it would be worth your time right now to go to Gatlinburg. I don't believe they're really letting tourists back in yet. But I would definitely love to see Adam the Woo back in the area soon though!

just a little info. Did u know that the pineapple is the symbol for hospitality? and it was because if someone had a whole pineapple out at a party you knew that the host spared no expense.

I ran into you in Hollywood studios on this day. It was an amazing pleasure meeting you. Adam the whoo is a great guy had no problem stoping shaking my hand and taken a nice pic 👍 keep it up man we love the videos and hope to run into you again

I don't know if I can handle seeing Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburgh yet, I fell in love with it watching the videos both you and carpetbagger did.... It was someplace I really want to go to, maybe next summer. In fact just last weekend I was showing one of my closest friends the video of you racing through the all wooden go-cart track, he was blown away (since all our tracks in Michigan seem to be single layered... we talked about may going there in the summer.... So I have you to thank for opening my eyes to that cool area... but I'm not ready to see what I'm sure will be painful yet... maybe once the cleanup/rebuilding which (I hope) will happen, you can do a "feel good" piece on it... but I think right now it's too painful.

Adam that thing on the truck was the spaceship from Star Trek 4 !

a long time ago you made a joke about the new storm troopers masks saying they look like howard the duck. everytime i see them that instantly pops into my head haha. great video as always that ending was very peaceful. have a great day adam

I'm back to watching...been too long. My personal goal is to watch everyday next year and I'm going to practice by watching all month... very majestic as always Mr. Woo 😊

My husband and I stayed at the Travel Lodge and visited Orange World when we were on our honeymoon in 1987. Thanks for the memories.

it's too early to go to Tennessee just yet

Hey Adam!! The last time I was in Epcot I saw that same Santa and Mrs. Claus. They were waiting for Illuminations. 2 boys ran up to him screaming Santa Santa! He bent down as the kids hugged him and told him what they wanted for Christmas. It was so very cute!

As far as I am concerned you should have a million subscribers!! Just saying! Reach for the stars!! Always a pleasure to follow you wherever you go!!! Have a wonderful day!!

The tank thing on the truck was in fact an underground fuel storage tank for a gas station. While we're at it, there are technically only two grades of gasoline, regular and premium. The "midgrade" actually draws a half and half mixture of the other two.

My dad is a chemist who specializes in making fuels more environmentally sound. He says the difference in the gasses is the additives. That's about it.

Give it a month or two before you head up our way to Gatlinburg, Adam. They are still searching for people and trying to get people back to their homes. Appreciate for brining attention to the area though and know your heart is in the right place.

Although we don't live far, we were honeymooners at Masters Inn. That was about 10 1/2 years ago. What we remember of the hotel itself is that the hot water was lousy and the breakfast was a cold muffin lol

So ...I have the Sears and Robuck's catalog remake from 1900! Very cool. ...but that reminds me of my favorite thing I have lie that....I have a hand written book/journal/ledger from a "convenient" type store here in MA from 1903! It is so cool to see the types of things people purchased back then and how much things cost. I.e potatoes for 12 cents. That would be there only purchase.

Adam! in simple terms, 93 octane premium gas is more difficult to explode. Its needed in performance engines when there's more pressure and heat, and you only want to gas to explode at the right moment. In a regular normal car, anything above 87 octane is completely pointless.

Yes, there is a difference in those gasoline grades. There is the Super Grade and Unleaded grade. The middle grade is a mixture blended at the dispenser from the Super and unleaded grade. In the old days, they actually made a middle grade, but discovered that it was more economic to mix the grade on site and store more unleaded, with a smaller quantity of Super. Speaking of fuel, at 6:30, that is an old underground fuel tank that is no longer compliant on its way to the scrape yard. The fuel contaminants will be removed and disposed of per Federal law. You'd be surprised how many tanks are just rusted holes in the ground. Double wall tanks are now required with sniffers between the walls to detect leakage. Now, Adam, you have had a daily lesson on gasoline

Hey adam ! So glad to see you back home,i enjoy these orlando / disney vlogs so so much,happy holidays see you tomorrow

Fuel grades are not typically attributed with fuel mileage or whether they are better/worse for your engine. Usually, it comes to power output for performance vehicles. High-performance engines are specifically tunes for key air/fuel mixtures and a higher octane fuel in the right ratios of air/fuel can give you a drastic performance difference. In an average consumer vehicle, the car is going to automatically compensate for the safest mixture of air/fuel and gains will be marginal.

Thanks for another great vlog! So nice to see holiday displays at some of the WDW resorts & Hollywood Studios! Have a great day! 😊

The mid-grade gas is just a mixture of the high octane and low octane fuels. They don't actually manufacture it that way. Both our cars "require" high octane, but they'll run just fine on any level, at least short term. But for caution's sake, I try to keep them gassed up with the recommended fuel.

@6:25, thats a underground storage tank from a gas station. 5000 gallons i think, usually 3 or 4 of them, 3 for gas, 1 for diesel if the station sells it, sometime kerosene also if your in the right aread of the country, which is typically a wooded mountainous area, such as the smoky's or the poconos

Adam.. thanks for considering Gatlinburg..and considering if it is appropriate. I would ask the folks up there if they would like you to go..or not. Blessings Adam. Each day is a gift!

OMG...OMG...OMG...The Dolphin... Seriously...This is exactly what I was talking about a couple weeks ago...Your videos help unlock memories that were long forgotten. at 4,5,6 years old were the last times I really went vacationing...Ah the 90s...This past Thanksgiving I uncovered many photos of that old life, one of which had the front entrance to The Dolphin, which is where we stayed. So, boom. Memory bomb. again, Thank You for these videos.

Don't go to Gatlinburg. Property owners have not even been allowed back in.

Thanks for showing Orange world. I was just thinking about it this morning. Happy holidays!

thank you adam love all youre videos look foward to em every day have a good one buddy

Opening question: "YES, _HOWEVER"_ if you follow your car's manual you're fine. ALSO, engines designed to run on 87 octane will not have any noticeable improvement on high octane fuel. I have a car with the words "Premium fuel ONLY" on the fuel gauge and "91+" on the fuel cap so I do use high octane.

That's a great observation. I remember Old Man Eisner. I even saw him once. Back then, there really was a lot of land as far as the eye can see.

I like your colored glasses better than the all black ones.✅

If your engine is tuned to need a higher grade of gas, you will see performance issues and experience things like run on and knocking if you use a lower grade. It will say in the owner's manual and at the gas cap if you need to use premium. 90% of the cars out there are tuned to run on regular and using the more expensive stuff is just wasting money.

It's okay to say Christmas 🎄 because that's what the day is still called. Merry Christmas Adam

Hey Adam, I just want to say thank you for sharing your adventures. You have inspired me to explore more places away from home and I've found that doing so makes me a happier person as I meet new people and learn new things everywhere I go. I'm even planning a Disney World trip soon as I haven't been there since 1990. I look forward to watching your videos for as long as you continue to upload them and if you ever find your way back to Charleston, SC then I hope to shake your hand someday, sir.

Yes there is a difference in gas, but it depends on your vehicle. If you have a high compression engine then you do need high octane fuel. If you don't then 87 is fine.

My pug was wandering by on the back of the couch which is against the back of my computer and I got quite the head tilt at the Adam the Woo "chunka chunka chunk" lol

I worked at Arabian Nights for 10 years, right up until they closed. Those were some of the greatest years of my life; we were like one big family. It breaks my heart that the only thing that's left of the main building complex is the (now) graffiti-covered fence that surrounds the cell tower that was built during the last year that it was open.

good morning Adam..... it's so sad about whats happened in Tennessee, prayers to all the people. great vlog As always.... that tank is from a gas station it stores the ⛽ fuel.... have a great day..... keep'em coming 👍

The big black squares were NOT designed for the monorail. The designer (Michael Graves) incorporated them to visually break up the space.

A lot of gas stations are set up that the regular and premium mix to pump mid grade in your vehicle

$10,000,000 per mile is the last estimate I heard for a mile of monorail track. Wait to go to Gatlinburg inmo.

I'm going to me in Cape Canaveral on Saturday. Hey, if you're still around I'll buy you a Mountain Dew. Cheers to your great work Adam!

When you said "chunk of concrete", I thought you were doing the "shakakungkungkungkungkung" Just noticin'!

hey buddy. the roads are closed around the city and they are asking for people to stay off cell phones unless an absolute emergency. take care

Putting my 2 cents in on Gatlinburg, it's a mess. May be best to wait until at least after the holidays.

As an Aussie, who has NEVER been to Disneyland-ANYthing yet.. YET.. I love your vids Adam. I live vicariously through you til the day I can finally afford to wing across the great Pacific and spend two weeks doing NOTHING BUT DISNEY in the great US of A.

Woah, ATW was across the street from my office building, Celebration Place, from 5:52-6:02 in the vid. Disney Cruise Line headquarters and some WDW offices as well.

Here's a Disney tip, lets say you're at the EPCOT World Showcase and you're tired but you have to walk all the way to the front of the park to catch the bus back to your on site hotel but you just don't feel like it. Instead head to the International Gate between France and England and hop on the boat. It goes to the Swan, Dolphin and then to the Disney Studios, which is a short walk to the bus stops. Or if you have a park hopper pass and want to catch Fantastic you can take this short cut too.

Adam, I love your videos you make me want to visit all the places you've been. Keep up the good work my friend.

I love that Christmas tree at Hollywood Studios. I'm a kid of the 70s and my parents had one of those light up Santa heads hanging in the living room throughout my childhood. I loved that thing! Every time I visit WDW around Christmas, I must visit that tree...very nostalgic. Unfortunately, we'll miss it this year...but, I smiled seeing it in this vlog.

Thank you adam. It is up to you if you want to come up. Gatlinburg right now is still closed i think. Maybe you could come up after christmas. or if you did come up you could as someone said volunteer to help out. it is up to you. Love ya. take care. Your videos are special and help me and others through our day.

Adam, that Golfball and Pirate's cove has been there in Orlando since at least the 80's as I lived near there as a kid! Also Arabian nights show has been closed for a while.

Adam that golf ball was a mile marker for a golf course that used to be where fun spot is

Loved seeing the closed MGM at the end there. Just a few months ago I was standing in that exact spot. Crazy.

Id stay away, unless they're putting out calls for help. It's a very tough and emotional time for people. Thus was another fun vlog!! Thanks Adam, got my WOO FIX!!!! Stay safe!!😀

An early Woo! Thanks for another great video Adam! Yeah... I'd wait a while to go see Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. After some clean up.. I'm sure they'll welcome tourists back with open arms.

"Old Eisner owned all of this!" I nearly choked on my cereal I laughed so hard! :D

That security lady was following you because, well....you are a little shady 😎see what I did there? Ha Ha!!

i live in Knoxville, and that fire did NOT destroy any businesses downtown or through the strip. It got a few places up 321 and mostly homes up the hillsides and on the outskirts of the parkway. I work up there on Thursdays, and a lot of people who have came in already have said they thought it was much worse. Dont get me wrong; people lost homes, property, and lives, but its not what the news played it up to be. Just an example of their exaggeration.

Love Adam The Woo Blogs. Thanks Adam For Bringing Us Some Much Joy. :)

I bet that reproduction of the old Sears catalog would of been cool to look at.

I just realized it's the first of December...Merry Christmas Music Month Adam!

Awesome video, enjoyed it very much!

You've melted my scrooge heart Adam! You've managed to make me excited for Xmas. And I don't usually get excited at this time of year. Thank you! Ha ha. Have a good day Adam!

Happy Holidays ATW... Stay warm during your adventures, we are counting on you ;)

Don't go to gatlinburg yet it's damaged really bad I go there every year it's only a hour or 1 hour drive for me

that monorail factoid is a myth. that was never intended to be open. it looks like it would be but unfortunately Disney world lost the best opportunity to expand the monorail when it was less expensive.

I been to that orange world gift shop. I love when you do Arnold stuff.

Ha ha haaa.... Love the way that lady in the revolving door gave you the "mum look".

Hey Adam, they may have some volunteer/relief effort work up in Gatlingburg soon, after things have settled down a bit. That would be a nice way to contribute.

the black windows aren't actually for a monorail, they're just a touch by the architect

You warming up by the fake fire really had me laughing....had to go back and watch it again....still laughing...

Awe no more Arabian Nights 😟I have my old book bag from junior high around 1987 lol holes and all. I think I have ya beat.

OH my gosh, I loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee that tree with the train running around it!!!! Great vlog Adam!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Adam , Have you seen the indoor skydiving centre just off international drive .. could make for some majestic viewing. all the best sir !!

Gatlinburg would love your tourist money, Adam. The mayor is even encouraging more tourism now more than ever.

Good morning, Adam 😊 love your Florida vids, such a cheerful start to the day 🍊🍋

I stayed at the dolphin resort when i was a kid! Love the architecture. The pool there was really cool

You're looking very Christmassy Adam, with the red shirt and those really cool green sunnies!

1 million dollar per mile on that monorail track.

Good Morning Adam!

If gas stations were smart, they'd sponsor you. Chunk-a concrete had me singing "Chaka Kahn,... Chaka... Chaka Kahn"

About the gas thing. I know a 90's GEO Treker I used to have would only run on mid-grade. If I put cheap gas in, it would spit and sputter and barely run. (Yes I tried this many times, different stations) Drove me nuts!! I was always broke anyway lol

Yes. Differ my level octane ratings are needed for different applications. I have a musclecar and if I ran 87 in it. It would self destruct.

once upon a time, with old-fashioned carburetors, big engines would make knocking or pinging sounds with lower-octane gas. high-octane reduced or eliminated knocks and pings. but today most cars have fuel injectors and octane level is irrelevant. and higher octane gas does NOT increase your miles-per-gallon

Adam! I gotta say, you are a decent guy! the question of Gatlinburg? very very cool of you! thanks for being a human being,with a brain and a heart! very cool! enjoyed the video!

Gasoline works opposite of what people think. 93 octane has less energy, and more ethanol than 87. The higher octane is not better gas, and is not any cleaner than lower octane. Only cars with high compression engines designed for 93 octane should use it.

I'm not sure if I'd want to go to Gatlinburg right now. Especially for anyone who knows the area, it has to be really depressing to see it first hand right now.

If you pay 99 cents for glasses it's not so bad if you lose them. Go to Gatlinburg after the holidays.

If you ever come up to Gatlinburg, give me a shout out! I am local and we'd love for you to come visit!! I did go to Gatlinburg the day they reopened and posted both a vlog and no vlog version of what we saw.

There is a difference in the grades of gasoline, but you only need to put whatever the manufacturer of the vehicle you are driving recommends. Some people think that is you put 93 octane in their car/truck it will have more power but if 87 is what is recommended then you are wasting your money. Higher end performance cars that take 93 needs 93 like the corvette, mustang gt etc... will suffer in performance with lower octane but lower end cars will not run any better on 93.

I lived in Palm Bay for 25 years I never wanted to leave

Never noticed the check mark in Circle K, thanks Adam.

the Orange!!!! When I was little, I would get so excited when I would see the orange, it meant we were close. Does anyone know where he is, when he is at the thrift store? Still on 192? Is it on same side as the Orange, 192 west? Possibly near where Water mania was, maybe one of the old indoor flea markets across from Old Town?
