Hey, it's Evan. I am in sunny Orlando. I just got here from Toronto, uh, flew here, and I'm filming a pilot show, uh, for a new show that I'm working on, so that's exciting. And the best part of the trip so far, I was able to wear 5-toe shoes through security because they said they look like socks and they weren't officially shoes. So at the airport, I didn't have to take these things off, which is amazing because it can be a bit of a pain to put on and off. So I am here in Orlando So this is the place that I got, and this is an Airbnb place. I've never done anything on Airbnb before. This is my first shot. It's a pretty funky looking place. It's just outside Disney World. I'm doing— part of the show is going to be on Walt Disney, so we're going to Disney World to film part of it. And so I got this place. I thought, I gotta try out Airbnb, and we'll see what it looks like. So you're going to join me on my first tour as I go inside our place. Here we are. This is looking pretty good. There's Nina, there's Hayden. Hi guys. We got a pretty spacious living room here. Nice TV. Dining room, kitchen. This is a pretty sweet place. Oh yeah. What else we got? You and, um, Skylar and Christian. Too bad. So a buddy of mine Louie is also bringing up his son Skyler, and we're going to be here. So the kids are going to share a room. We get a room. And I guess Louie gets a room. We got here first, so we get to pick the best room. Sorry, Louie. What's in here? Oh, bathroom. Okay, and another bathroom in here. That's a pretty good place. When we were looking at places, we were trying to decide, should we try Airbnb or should we get a typical hotel like we normally do? And thought, "You know what? Gotta give this Airbnb thing a shot." And I'm pretty happy with it so far. I'll keep you guys updated. I'll take you along my journey, kind of behind the scenes of what I'm doing to film this pilot show. We'll see what happens, and I'm hoping for a good one. So it's nighttime here, first night. We are— we ate dinner, but I was still peckish. I was hungry, so I went out, I got a McFlurry, and I also went to Walgreens. And only in America can you find this. This is great. Only in America. The brand new chips. I was gonna get sour cream and onion, but instead the brand new flavor is chicken and waffles. It sounded so disgusting that I had to try it. So Louie's gonna open it up. We're gonna try this. Does this smell like chicken and waffles? You know, I actually don't know what chicken and waffles— I don't know, it just sounds gross. It sounds, it sounds gross. Let's try it. Let's try it. This is the first chicken and waffle Mmm, not bad. Okay, Nina, you try. It's like barbecue. No, it tastes like bacon. Oh, it tastes like bacon. There's a little bit of waffle. Anyway, I'm off. I have to have my awesome McFlurry Oreo with caramel bits. We'll try some more of those chips later. These are the exciting things that you learn watching my YouTube channel. Anyway, we'll report back tomorrow. Off to Disney Disney for the first day, and we'll see you soon. Okay, we're at Disney World and we're going on It's a Small World, and we'll see how it goes. I'm sure we'll all be singing the song once we get out. It's a small world after all. It's a small world after all. It's a small, small world. It's day 3. We're at Epcot Center. We have to build our own car. So I've got to put my card here. It's a fun test drive thing. You don't want to fix your car, right? That's my reasoning. Look at that bad boy. Yes! We're getting in line here at Test Track. We're gonna put our cards in and we'll see what happens. Drive safe. Drive safe. Okay. Oh, and here we are. I'm cracking up. Nina's hair is all over the place. The guy next to me is happy. The people behind us, I don't know. But that was a lot of fun. We're coming up on Louie, who's been waiting with the kids for, I don't know how long. I'm sure it was 3 hours. How you guys doing? You're lucky, they burned all their energy running around. Okay, okay, we're gonna continue on. We're day 4 here. We're at the Animal Kingdom about to go on [FOREIGN] [FOREIGN] We just got off the rapids. Uh, it's this whitewater rapids thing and we got soaked. Let's see, can you see my wet pants? But Nina got the worst of it. Nina got the worst of it, got all in her hair and soaked. There you go, Nina got all wet. Okay, and she gets to stay dry by putting on her new— not new, it's yours. That's true, by putting on my sweatshirt. Louie has been babysitting and the boys are running around. We're off to see some more animals. We'll see what happens. So it's been a pretty full day here at Animal Kingdom. I'm starting to burn out, get a headache. It's kind of overcast and the weather is having an impact on me, but I wish I could be this guy right here. I want to be Hayden in my car seat or my stroller passing out. Hello, Backlot Tour. I'm Amy, a production coordinator here at the studios. Hey, it's day 5 here at Hollywood Studios, and we're on the Backlot Tour learning about Walt Disney World. I'm up here with our effects crew, and we're getting ready to shoot a test sequence. So I've enrolled Hayden in Jedi Knight School where they teach you how to become a Jedi Knight. And it's all he's been talking about all day. So Hayden, before we go to school, we're going there next, can you show us? Can you show us how you use your lightsaber sword? Shh! We're going to go to school and see how you do. Good morning! So it's day 6 here in Orlando and, uh, I am super sick. You can probably tell in my voice right now. Sounds like I swallowed a frog. Went to Disney for a couple hours and just had no energy to film anything. I was supposed to do stuff for my secret project, but just couldn't. And we'll see. Anyway, I'm loading up on Advil. I'm here for another day. Tomorrow I'm supposed to go drive to Dunedin to go watch the Blue Jays, the main reason for tagging this on was to go to the spring training game. I love the Blue Jays and watching how they play. So we'll see, hopefully I feel better. I'm trying to record some videos for everybody. I know I owe everybody a ton of videos. Lots of questions came in and I was supposed to spot some time tomorrow to record. Hopefully I can. If I'm not, hopefully you guys don't hate on me too much. But I'm hoping for a good rest tonight and I'll check in again tomorrow. I just arrived at Dunedin. We drove almost 2 hours from Orlando to Dunedin because I wanted to check out the Blue Jays. So we're here at Dunedin Stadium. You can tell I'm still super sick. The game is just about to get started. There was crazy traffic to get here. So anyway, we're a little bit late. You can hear the crowd is just starting. Check out the parking spot the guy gave me. This is where I'm parking. I can barely get out. I think that guy is gonna smash from the way in. Hopefully the Jays win. Go Jays, go! And hopefully I make it through this game. So this is Dunedin Stadium. I love how small intimate it is. And here is José Bautista, best Blue Jay player. Look at the stadium, it's pretty tiny, so it's a really close intimate feel with the crowd. So the Blue Jays won 10-6. We started off way behind and caught up with an 8-run inning, which is great news. It means the Blue Jays are gonna win the World Series this year. That is what it means. So, uh, we're going to drive home. We found a salsa radio station that we're going to listen to. Hopefully we get it all the way back. Almost a 2-hour drive back home. And then I'm going to need a nap because I'm pretty burnt out and still very sick. We'll see you soon. Okay, so it is my last day. I was supposed to be back home already in Toronto, but my connecting flight in Philadelphia got cancelled. Got canceled. I sat there on the plane for about an hour. They weren't sure what was wrong and it got canceled. So I am up at a Sheraton near the hotel. Still sick. Here's a— What? Yeah? Yeah? You want to say something? Yeah. Hayden is up way past his bedtime. Here is my new hotel room. Take you on a grand tour. I have to be up and out of here. Uh, my flight is at 7-something in the morning, so that means I gotta be up and out by what? I gotta wake up 5-something. So typical bathroom. Anyway, this is becoming the big saga. The big saga to get home. But, uh, hopefully our flight tomorrow is all okay. I'll be back in Toronto. I'm missing Toronto now. I'm homesick. I want to be home. We got these travel packs. Open up a travel pack. Let's see what they gave us. So US Airways, sucky US Airways. I hate US Airways. Crappy service. Standing in line with 2 customer service people to handle like 100 people on the plane. What did they give us here? Toothpaste. Toothpaste. What else? Comb. What is that? Hair comb. Comb? What are you holding? What is that? This is— oh, this is the face wash. Face wash. That's a shampoo, whatever. Shampoo and conditioning. Okay. And what is this? This is the facial cleansing towel. And shave kit if you need to shave. I do need to shave. Do I need to shave? What do you think, people? I need to shave. Yeah, I need to shave. And our breakfast tomorrow is going to be a mix of honey roasted peanuts. Yummy? You like the honey roasted peanuts? Combined with chocolate covered almonds! Yummy, yummy, yummy! There's a healthy breakfast. Wait to eat one. You can't. Yeah, well, you're gonna have to wait till tomorrow, mister. Okay, it's past your bedtime. Oh, oh, you found some. Let's put those away. They were in the bag. Okay, well, thank you for saving those. Okay, we're gonna get you to bed. I'm gonna pop a NyQuil. I've been popping them every 6 hours now. I've moved over from Advil to NyQuil, uh, because the Advil was just for fever, and where I need something a little more intense So that is it for now. We're off. Good night. Have a good sleep everybody. Hopefully tomorrow we're back in Toronto and I'm back to feeling good. So we just made it back. It is 10:30 on Friday morning. It is day— what day is it? 9? 9. Day 9. It is good to be back. I have the day off to kind of recover and I think we need the weekend to have a vacation from the vacation. Settle back. My, my bag has been the biggest casualty of this trip. Check out my bag. Got this crazy— this was from carrying the tripod around the bag. So this one has to go. And I got some— I don't know what that is. I think that's tomato juice from the flight. I don't know. That's nasty. Just gross stuff on the bag. So I think, I think I'm going to give my bag to Nina now. No, Nina needs a new backpack here, right? You get this back, right? So it's shower time, relax time, weekend vacation time. Thanks for joining us on this trip, and we'll see you soon.
