JoJo’s World: Epcot Eggstravaganza Preview

JoJo is doing a surprise livestream from Showcase Plaza in Epcot, where he insincerely says, “I promise one of these days I’m going to schedule a livestream.” He states he’s there to do the Eggstravaganza Easter egg hunt and he’s pretty hyped about it. JoJo is with his girlfriend Krista and they are waiting on a “special guest” to join them.

While waiting, JoJo spots Emily Nelson “in the wild”. He chats with her and finds that she is having her viewers control her day. At present, JoJo’s “special guest” is controlling his, because JoJo doesn’t want to start the Easter hunt without them.

Needing a drink, JoJo and Krista head to the Honey Bee-Stro. JoJo tells Krista to get him B. Nektar New Wave Lemonade Mead. JoJo gets his drink and has Krista text the special guest to find out where they are. The text reply from the special guest, who JoJo reveals is his friend Dan, is that he’s in the Japan Pavilion. JoJo calls Dan and tells him to meet them at the Honey Bee-Stro.

Soon thereafter, JoJo and Krista realize they have the lost the egg hunt sticker sheet that is used to record the egg sightings. Needing it, JoJo sends Krista to find it or to buy a new one. Viewers in the chat, however, guilt JoJo into going after her. He says he will, but only after he finishes his drink.

As he walks to where he thinks Krista went, JoJo notes that since he’s livestreaming, it should be easy for both Krista and Dan to find out exactly where he is. He finds Krista and learns from her that she was able to get a new sticker sheet plus a spare from a store.

Since they are still waiting for Dan to join, JoJo decides to walk toward Canada to try to make the livestream more interesting and perhaps to catch Dan on the way. He orders Krista to stay put so that she’ll be where they’re supposed to meet Dan.

Despite JoJo’s intention, the walk toward Canada does not make the livestream more interesting. He does tease on this little side trip that he’ll be making a big travel announcement.

Not finding Dan, JoJo turns around and returns to Krista. She tells him that Dan has not arrived and JoJo tells her as the boyfriend, “Well, you’re enough.”

After a few minutes, JoJo decides to move on to the Mexico Pavilion. He tells Krista to text Dan to meet them there. On the walk, JoJo happens to list off his favorite cruises, with Carnival Mardi Gras number one, Wonder of the Seas with “the boys” second, and the third being “one of the Disney ones. Don’t know which one though.”

Reaching Mexico, JoJo decides to use some of his Super Chat money on making Krista get in line at Choza de Margarita to get him a drink. Meanwhile, he stands on the patio outside the entrance to the pyramid and from there, he spots Dan approaching. JoJo records the approach with his regular camera for his vlog.

Dan is with his girlfriend Bailey. JoJo introduces her to viewers and then wanders off, turning over livestream hosting duty to Dan. Dan greets people in the chat and answers questions, like his favorite salad dressing is Italian and that he’s 6 ft tall.

The most notable question that he’s asked is “are JoJo and Krista together?” Without hesitation, Dan replies, “Yes, they are.” He reads a comment from someone that states, “JoJo said they were just friends.” That makes Dan laughs heartily. “Awkward,” he says and keeps chuckling. “I feel like it’s not a secret,” he explains. He goes on to say, “If it is a secret, I apologize. If it is a secret, no one leak! Alright, there’s three hundred of you in here – this stays between us!”

JoJo, Krista and Bailey reappear on camera and JoJo laughingly asks, “What were you guys talking about?” Dan shouts to the viewers, “No one leak!” To JoJo, Dan declares, “Don’t worry about it.”

After a pause, Dan asks, “Should we find some eggs?”

JoJo records the beginning of the egg hunt for his vlog, and asks his friends, “Mexico egg – where is it?” They quickly find the egg located in the same spot as last year. The egg portrays a Disney rabbit but they only know he’s called “Jackalope”. They don’t know what film he’s from. JoJo asks the viewers where Jackalope’s from and they explain to him in the chat he’s from a Pixar short.

They walk to Norway and immediately spot the Skippy the Rabbit egg. After this second egg, Dan says they are low on time, and ask JoJo, “Don’t you have a flight?” JoJo responds that his flight is not until 9am tomorrow.  

They continue to China and JoJo talks about a strong alcoholic shot sold there. He debates whether they should make Dan and Bailey take the shots. However, they can’t do that yet because they have become separated from the other two. JoJo and Krista then look for both the China pavilion egg and Dan and Bailey.

They find the two, who had gone off to get another drink. JoJo decides to end the livestream and does his big travel announcement. He’s going on another cruise the next day, and may be livestreaming from the ship after he boards.

[5/5]  Obviously, the key event in this livestream was Dan confirming that Krista is JoJo’s girlfriend. JoJo has no problem demonstrating in vlog after vlog that are in a relationship, leaving no doubt, but for whatever reason, he can’t bear to say the G word. Dan’s admission takes away any deniability that JoJo may have been able to use.
