In the opening of his vlog, JoJo Crichton addresses his audience, explaining that the footage they are about to see is from several weeks ago. He then proceeds to make two announcements about upcoming events. First, he reveals plans to attend a Disney media event at Disneyland with Taya Miller, a popular TikTok personality. Following this, he shares information about an upcoming cruise with Kyle Powell at the end of the month on Carnival’s newest ship, the Mardi Gras. JoJo expresses his anticipation for the voyage, stating, “I’ve never been on a Carnival cruise ship before. It’s going to be my second cruise ever.”
JoJo, accompanied by his girlfriend Mel and friend Farris, begins their evening at the Enchanted Rose lounge in Disney’s Grand Floridian Resort. The time is 6 PM, and the group plans to visit Magic Kingdom before its 9 PM closing time to experience some rides. While at the Enchanted Rose, they indulge in drinks and truffle fries. JoJo comments on the venue’s atmosphere, saying, “I feel like this is kind of a hidden gem, the Enchanted Rose in the Grand Flo. Anyone can come here and it’s walking distance. You do not need a reservation and look at this, it’s so empty right now and it’s lovely.” The group enjoys their time at the lounge before heading to the park.

The group departs from the Grand Floridian Resort, boarding the monorail to Magic Kingdom. Upon entering the park, they see Mickey, Minnie, and other Disney characters waving from the train station balcony. JoJo asks Mel what her favorite character is, and she replies, “Honestly Mickey, but Sorcerer Mickey is my favorite.” JoJo looks stunned and tells her, “What the heck? That’s my favorite!” which long-time viewers are already aware. Apparently, he doesn’t like sharing his favorite with anyone, as he also says, “Like, I’m actually kind of upset.”
The group decides to ride Big Thunder Mountain Railroad despite the 50-minute wait time. As they are about to board the ride vehicle, both Mel and Farris exclaim, “Our Uber has arrived!” JoJo says he loves that. Mel tells him, “You love that we know all your stuff? I could literally quote your whole entire vlog.”

While on the ride, JoJo gets Mel to yell “Hey, dad!” at guests viewing the attraction. Afterward, JoJo says the ride was a lot of fun because he got Mel to yell it. Mel tells him, “I just went with it though. Did you see how I did that? I just roll with it.” JoJo replies, “That’s why we’re friends, because she just rolls with it. She doesn’t ask ‘why’ or ‘who’”.
The trio proceeds to Splash Mountain, which had been closed all day but has now reopened. There is a posted 65-minute standby wait, but they go through the FastPass lane. They skipped the line, thanks to cast members who Farris knows from when he worked there allowing them to do it. During the ride, JoJo once again points out the spot where he once was stuck on the attraction with his sister, as if riding Splash Mountain always gives him that same flashback. After exiting, JoJo points out that the Splash Mountain gift shop no longer carries ride-specific merchandise.

JoJo, Mel, and Farris go onto Buzz Lightyear’s Space Ranger Spin. Again, cast members who knew Ferris from when he worked at this additional attraction let them use the FastPass lane instead of the regular queue. Once aboard, JoJo instructs Mel on scoring techniques. He advises, “Hit the bottom of Zurg’s ship all the way at the bottom.” When the ride momentarily stops, they take advantage of the situation to continuously fire at that target. As a result, all three achieve the “Galactic Hero” high score just from that. After exiting, JoJo celebrates with Mel her first time Galactic Hero achievement.
The three next ride Seven Dwarfs Mine Train, and after that head to Space Mountain. They ride it once and then a second time, again thanks to Farris’ cast member connections. When they’re done, they recap their evening, noting they were able to ride five rides in two hours. JoJo thanks the cast members who made it possible for them to do what regular guests wouldn’t be able to do.
After their park adventures, JoJo and friends head to California Grill at Disney’s Contemporary Resort for dinner. JoJo mentions the dress code, and Farris borrows a shirt to cover his tank top.

They all order pepperoni pizza, which JoJo notes is “actually the cheapest thing on the menu.” The group enjoys the view from California Grill’s observation deck before returning inside to eat.
As they begin their meal, JoJo comments, “Treating my dates tonight,” to which Mel responds, “Treating your girlfriends over here.” JoJo looks surprised that she said that out loud on the vlog.
More friends join them at the table: Mel’s brother David, David’s friend Corbin, and Nick Lamb. They later all go outside to the observation deck and witness a test of the “Happily Ever After” projections on the castle. Mel synchronizes a YouTube video of the fireworks show with the projections.
JoJo concludes the vlog with his usual phrase, but this time he lets girlfriend Mel finish the phrase with “… is a blessed day to be alive.”

[3/5] If you like the JoJo/Mel relationship, it’s worth watching. Other than that, maybe not. You get to see more of the dynamics between JoJo and Mel.
