JoJo’s World: Christmas Monorail Crawl

JoJo introduces his idea for this vlog, to track all the money he spends in one Disney evening. He wants to show viewers what costs they might expect if they were to have a similar evening. to expect. He says, “Normally I just, you know, swipe my card or give the cash and don’t think twice.” The statement shows again that with all his YouTube earnings, money is no object for JoJo when visiting Disney. It’s an important message to viewers that he really doesn’t need any cash from them to live off of or to blow on a night out drinking.   

To begin, JoJo meets up with friends Kevin Mendez and Matt at the Polynesian Resort. JoJo tells his friends that the plan for them is to have a nice evening at Disney World during Christmastime, while the plan for the vlog is to account for how much money JoJo spends doing it.

They decide to start with drinks at Trader Sam’s and get in unusually quickly. JoJo explains to them as first-timers the effects that happen when they order the various specialty drinks.

Seeing one of the souvenir mug, Matt debates about buying it. JoJo offers $10 towards the mug to convince Matt to get it, but Matt gets just a Tahitian Torch to drink instead.

Kevin gets a Zombie drink and the effect that goes with it. Kevin says the drink is strong and has “a sweet aftertaste though that’s really good.”

In addition, Kevin also orders food – the pan-fried dumplings. Kevin says, “I love Disney dumplings. I don’t know what they do here, but dumplings taste different when they’re made by the mouse.” JoJo tells Matt that maybe they should get food tonight also. As JoJo looks at Kevin’s food, Kevin guardingly tells JoJo he should order his own dumplings.

Later, Matt gets a second drink, the special holiday Tropical Snowstorm. JoJo reminds them that they still need to make it to Magic Kingdom, but Kevin admits that he’s drunk already. Kevin boasts that he’s pulling the sword in the stone at Magic Kingdom, but that could have been the alcohol talking.

While waiting for the monorail, Kevin says it’s too cold to go to Magic Kingdom, since he’s from Miami and can’t handle the cold. They take the monorail as far the Grand Floridian, but get off there because they realize Magic Kingdom has a Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party that night and is closed early.

The first thing they do is stop at Basin store to wash their hands and sample the hand scrub products. After Matt uses some scrub, Kevin appreciatively runs his hands over Matt’s to feel how soft they now are.

Disappointed about missing Magic Kingdom, they go to Enchanted Rose lounge hoping to get gingerbread martinis to make up for it. After they’re seated, they get another disappointment. They find out that gingerbread martinis are not available. They end up getting espresso martinis instead. After his drink, Kevin says he can pull the “stone out of the sword.”

With the drinking and camaraderie, JoJo tells Kevin and Matt that they have been great additions to his friendships. In response, Kevin makes a heart shape for JoJo with his hands.

After a couple drinks, they take the monorail to Contemporary Resort. On the ride over, Matt says he has never been to a Disney World special event. Kevin offers up that Space Mountain is his favorite ride and he actually has a tattoo of the attraction on his arm. JoJo remarks that he has been on the original Tron ride at Shanghai Disneyland. Kevin appears exasperated by JoJo’s boasting and tells him, “We all know that!”

At the Contemporary Resort, JoJo notes that have been doing a monorail resort bar crawl. For their final stop, they go to California Grill, to be seated at the bar. They’ve gone there to watch the proximity fireworks for the MVMCP event. They get drinks from the bar and then go outside to the observation deck to watch the fireworks.

After an emotional viewing of the pyrotechnics, they return via monorail to the Polynesian Resort. JoJo ends the vlog trying to make a thumbnail photo with Matt and Kevin.
