JoJo is at Magic Kingdom with his friend Sean Kloss. JoJo says that as a frequent visitor at the parks, he’s able to share useful information about them to his viewers. The theme of the vlog is supposed to be showing the best things about Magic Kingdom. However, the vlog doesn’t go as planned.
They start at the hub in front of the castle, where JoJo mentions the special castle shows.
In Adventureland, JoJo notes the long lines for both the Aladdin meet and greet and the rides. His assessment of the attractions in Adventureland is that the Pirates of the Caribbean is the best ride and Sean agrees.
Moving to Frontierland, they discuss the upcoming closure of Splash Mountain. JoJo confirms the closure date with cast member Caroline, whom JoJo previously met on a cruise.
Seeing the Liberty Belle, JoJo recommends riding it. He also recommends a visit to Tom Sawyer’s Island. JoJo asks Sean if Sean would recommend the Country Bear Jamboree to first-time visitors. Sean say he would for people who like the classics; otherwise, he would not. At the Frontierland Shooting Arcade, Sean takes aim while JoJo annoyingly provides direction to Sean on what to shoot at.
Having fun doing your job badly:
“I definitely goofed myself today. I wanted to talk about the best things I enjoy, but I realized that video wasn’t going to work if I couldn’t actually go on the rides or eat the stuff that I wanted to. Things don’t go the way you planned, but you can still have a good time doing it.”

Navigating through crowds and strollers in Fantasyland, JoJo talks about the Rapunzel restroom theming and the Pascal scavenger hunt. They continue to see long wait times for the attractions and Sean suggests they leave and try again another day. JoJo considers riding Barnstormer, but the 40-minute wait deters him. He admits, “I’m just so not prepared, you know like when you don’t study for a test, that’s how I felt in this moment.”
JoJo mentions that on that day character meet and greets return to Pete’s Silly Sideshow. He looks inside at the characters, but decides not to wait in line to meet them.
JoJo states he’s not the easiest park companion, and one reason for that is he likes to meet characters. Sean, on the other hand, is not a character person. JoJo says he made Sean his excuse for not waiting in line, but he admits he didn’t want to wait either.
Discussing the crowds, Sean reminds JoJo it’s a holiday weekend, which accounts for all the people and the long lines. JoJo’s demeanor suggests that his reaction is just a bit he’s playing and that he knew it was a holiday weekend before recording his reaction. Sean says he had agreed to go the Magic Kingdom with JoJo just for a walk, knowing it would be too crowded from the holiday to do anything.
JoJo contemplates scrapping the vlog but decides to insert narration to explain what his thoughts were while he was recording. He exits the park and appreciates that at least one ride, the monorail, had a short line at that time of day.
In the epilogue, JoJo says he wanted to show that his life isn’t perfect. He uses as an example the fact that he had a day at a park but didn’t ride any rides because the lines were longer than he was willing to wait. That’s his example of something bad happening in his otherwise charmed life. However, he says he “made lemons out of lemonade,” messing up the saying as much as he messed up the vlog.
