all right all right all right we a day early here at Pino and Gina saying it’s looking pretty good over here she saying it looks all freshened up but all I see is scaffolding so we’re going walk I’m looking beyond the scaffolding she’s looking around she’s looking around the scaff Beyond it Beyond it but all right so what we got going on here we got looks like we’ve got some more painted here but like I said we are a day early here Gina we’ve been over at Studios and Gina wanted to come over and get some gelato so I was like well this is going to save me a trip down here tomorrow so we’ll just do our update in six days this week but I’m seeing some stuff here that’s looking pretty good here they’ve got more of the screening down here at Thirsty fish this is completely opened up now gorgeous before yeah Gus it does look good look at before and then yeah you can see it wow look at this so for Bice for Bice she’s already picking on me folks so here you can see the before and after here you can see the before paint here look at the uh water damage watering or water coming down here you can see it running off of everything here on all the way around and even behind it you see the freshness of the plaster yeah you can just tell see they ripped all of this off yeah every bit of this was ripped off so look at the color difference here you can tell in this wall here from there to here just look at the color the difference in the coloring uh so we’re going to walk over here and get Gina some gelato and we’re going to get that at the how do you pronounce it again Gela Laria yeah say that again I’m not saying that again but look at this fresh paint yeah W looks nice and saturated yeah so this is really I’m telling you this is uh really starting to really look a lot different starting to look really good if they would just get that fencing down over there that would make a world of difference before they take it down yeah and I think that’s the only reason they’ve not taken it down is they’ve got to move this uh these lifts back and forth you can see there’s three lifts over there right now four lifts on that side actually you can see the difference on that facade as well I mean they all this right here is all fresh paint right here MH and no the screening or the plastic on the Windows okay they’ve got some of the plastic off over here in this corner yeah which would be going to the villa villa rooms here and the club level rooms here still have all plastic up it’s getting there though but they’ve actually I wonder if they painted or I’ve got that I wonder if they’ve done anything with those windows though we’ll go check that and see if they’ve done anything with those windows but starting to look pretty good so let’s go get us a gelato so they have actually pushed back here on this screen and because this screening was out here now they’ve pushed it back about 30 ft but they still have to do this area here so they might have done that just to be able to get some of the uh lifts in here to do this paint here actually just saw a drip of water we had about two inches of rain come through or inch inch of rain come through but they’ve mudded all this got some finished detail work to do there but they put the screen up on it to be able to put the good mud on it so I so let’s walk back here and help Gina get a gelato and figure out what she’s going to get but you still got to move around underneath the building here cuz this would have all been open right here this would all You’ be able to walk right up to any of these stores once they get this construction all this screening here will be down the galleria store is right here at closed down at 6 o’clock the Universal Studio store is here here’s Gina she’s uh looks like she’s looking on her phone for something no it’s just all right so here’s your gelato that smells good and then your Starbucks is right beside of it so we going to go in here so I did not realize that uh this was actually part of the same room here looks like they’ve actually tore a wall down here and open this up but your Starbucks is right on the right hand side and this is your Starbucks here and then jto on this side so we uh we walked over here one night all the way from Lo Sapphire Falls to get ice cream to get ice cream cuz Jina wanted gelato and then the next day we’re at the low Sapphire we had we had gelato had the same flavor she got over here there so but here’s your gelato Gina’s what you getting honey um I think I’m getting the pistachio and the I don’t know all so either the cappuccino or the Stella yeah so I’m going I’m going to stay clear tonight you can taste some of you can taste I’m going to stay clear can I I try the um but you get the got your different cones you can get you get your different mixes here put your put your stuff on there some got some other sugar products here actually got some caramel cookies special degrease cookie chocolate chips cookie and another caramel cookie actually it just separated it out here so she just closed that off on me can’t walk over got to go around all so Gina gave me a little taste of her coffee and pistachio gelato there is pretty good but I’m going to take her down and show her the Hillside Pool cuz she’s never seen the Hillside Pool we always uh went to the beach pool and the Villa pool when we stayed here so uh we’ll show her the Hillside Pool I mean definitely looks crisp definitely uh the paint has definitely made a big difference in this here clean and just actually this looks a lot cleaner than it usually does here but we’re going to walk down to the Hillside Pool now if you’re going to use this pool over here you got to go to the east side and go all the way down like you walking to uh CityWalk or you walk into the parks cuz most of the time everybody goes that way and walks up and then goes around and goes underneath the bridge over there but now you’ve got to come this way or you’ve got to walk all the way around this big lake over here that’s actually almost outside the property but got some awnings here they’re getting ready to put back up we’ll walk down and look at the Hillside Pool just brought up the uh even the iron work around these balconies here here looks a lot better she asked me if uh if they actually replaced that or not and I don’t know if they did or not they definitely got that window fixed up there that I was looking at before uh but they could have painted those but I would actually probably think that they probably did put new awning up um I mean they it looks really fresh it looks like it’s actually aluminum now instead of iron which would have caused a lot of rust on everything well they aluminum Rusty well saying now they I think they’ve changed it to aluminum instead of iron because that would have uh that would have been some issues in the way it appeared out for the but we’ll uh we’ll walk back here to the hillside okay that’s cute and then uh if you are going to The Parks or City Walk you’re going to come this way here and it’s not really that much farther from the East Wing I mean if I was in the East Wing this would be the route I would take but from the center from the center of the resort in the West Wing I would take the other route and walk around and come down and go through there instead of right here you can see these people walking in right now but here is your City walk and theme parks to your right and the Hillside Pool is back here in the back back here all right so here’s the uh here here’s the Hillside Pool we’ve got some people in it so I’m not going to walk up film but here’s the Hillside Pool nice little pool nice little area you can tell it’s pretty quiet over here uh they still have this material down to run these lifts back and forth on you can see a lift back over there off the corner but let’s walk back over and we’ll go check out the villa in the beach pool so before we walk over to the beach pool the plastic is off these windows here which is porteno Club here they’re off on the upper decks up upper Windows here and then the whole upper doesn’t have any plastic until you get down here to this very end down here then the plastic is off of these windows here still up right here which would be probably still yet your Club level rooms but I would uh this all trim all looks like it’s been done here so I would fully expect this to be off probably within the next week you see some guttering still hanging down here so they need to go in there and put that metal guttering down so I would expect that to be down here within the next couple weeks but it’s starting to really look good so we going to walk over and check out the beach club first and then the Villa all right so we’re going to have Mama Dela and Tratoria deporto entrance right here just right where they came out your hostess stand is right here inside got menus up here on the outside Tratoria dep Porto I had uh a good breakfast in there that’s where you going to get your all you can eat breakfast it’s uh lunch menu and dinner menu really good they got an open bar there now they didn’t have a bar before but now they have a

here your central pza is up there we’re going to go down this way all so your arcade is right here but I wanted to look these windows look really good on the outside but you can see here you still have some open areas here especially over here you got a real big open area in this corner right here so they still have to dry these in and reud oh reud those windows so uh we’re going down to the beach pool here but let’s see if they’ve got anything cleaned up back here in this walkway actually uh they got a lift in there but doesn’t look like they’ve done too much to the walkway so you can see here they’ve got this all screened off back here by the beach pool now uh they were stopped about right here now they’ve screened all the way up so all the way from the corner down here back towards Water Taxi is all screened off looks like they’ve uh still got some work to do back here and like I said before in the other videos that they will only be working on one pool area at a time so can see they’ll stair they needed to do something yeah they’ll finish this area here yeah Janny just pointed out they’ve got some uh heavy material there on the steps coming down from that Alleyway
