49. The Ultimate Disney Snack Bracket · Sisters, Sisters: A Mouselets Podcast

• M2: Welcome back to another episode of Sisters Sisters. M1: Welcome back. My head bob for those of you watching in video was not on point. I was writing something. I was frazzled. I'm sorry. But I'm back. I'm ready to go. M2: She was typing in our spreadsheet. We have a really fun episode today where we are doing a bracket ranking the best sweet Disney snacks. But first, I meant to mention this last week. I made a purchase on Whatnot. no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. M1: This is every week you make a purchase on whatnot. I literally thought in the spreadsheet that you didn't update it from last week. M2: Well, I didn't because last week I wanted to mention it and then I didn't, so I'm mentioning it this week. I made a purchase on whatnot of an incredible pin and it is a Main Street Electrical. Do you have it? Main Street Electrical Parade pin. And also I have a pin of yours. So it is like a trifold pin. It is so cool. I had ordered something previously. Somehow Mouse Lit One had sh changed the address and it shipped to her house. M1: And so I texted her and I said, I love this pin. Thank you, Mouselatoo. M2: But I have a pin for you. I got you a license plate pin that you don't have, so we'll have to do a swap. M1: I guess we will. Well, the reason that my address was in there is if those I don't actually know. I think I talked about this on Instagram a little bit, but we turned our dining room into a playroom for the Micklet. And it's kind of like yellow and blue themed. So I've been looking for bookends because I want some some Disney themed bookends. I thought that would be fun. And I found some on Whatnot. They're from an old collection. I actually remember it once I saw them. It's like a Mickey head in like a sun. It's you would recognize it. You would recognize it. M2: No. I don't I can't picture it. M1: It's very cute. And so I ordered them on Whatnot. However, the person never shipped them to me and I ended up having to cancel it and buy them elsewhere. So that was kind of a bummer. But that was why my address was changed. And speaking of M2: I've never seen these in my life. I just like Googled them. Never in my life have I seen these. M1: You don't remember that collection? It's from a couple years ago. I can picture it in like the Emporium. speaking of my playroom, I wanted to get some Disney prints for the wall. And I asked on Instagram if people had suggestions of Disney artists. The challenge with buying Disney art is a lot of time the Disney fine artists they're called, like don't sell their prints online. You have to either get them at Festival of the Arts, you have to get them at like a Disney art shop. I think I talked about that. And so I ended up finding this artist, Joey Chu, and I love his style of work. And there was one gallery that was selling very, very, very select few of his prints, but I ended up getting a tangled one, a big hero six one, and an inside out one. And they arrived. I literally FaceTime Melissa too as soon as they arrived because I love them so much. They're so cute and I cannot wait to like hang them up and show you guys. They look so good. M2: Do you know that I looked up Joey Chu after that, after we were talking about him? And he designs like he has a collection he designs ears. He has a collection that he designs like Disney mugs. Like he's actually a hu his stuff is all over the parks. Like if you look up his stuff, it's everywhere. So I was like, I actually sort of know him. So that was that was sort of exciting. M1: I should look it up. That's fun. M2: a couple of other things I wanted to talk about before we get into some really kind of random news this week. But I have been dying for The adorable Peak Pack 5 Star Wars set. I obviously bought the Wado before it was advanced because I love Wato so much. But me and Mouse Leday were dying for it, looked it up, said it was released in Walmart. We were at Walmart anyway. Our Walmart was a disaster. I've never seen our Walmart be like it. I actually was like, was this store just like raided and ransacked? That's how crazy it was. They didn't have they didn't have the set. So we were very sad. But I was like, you know what? Something else I've been wanting is that at the beach in Rehoboth, remember we were in that store buying the pool for the Micklet? And I was hitting that little squishy stitch and M1: my god, yes. M2: I've become addicted and obsessed with him. And I said, I really want to buy one of those. Okay, they had like nothing like that. And I was like, fine, well, I'd rather buy it in person than buy something off Amazon. So I bought this like squishy cube thing. my god. I took it out of its bag. It was the stickiest, most disgusting thing. M1: I was just about to say this stitch that Mouse Let 2 wanted to buy. No, M2: No, that wasn't sticky. M1: we were at this random store on the boardwalk that sells like beach stuff, but it's like it's one of those stores that has like spray-painted t-shirts type vibe, you know. And we were buying a little kiddie pool for the Mickletus at the beach, and they had these like, you know, those little dumpling things that kids buy, and this like squishy stitch, which was like $13 for this little piece of, I'll say it, garbage. And she wanted M2: And I so not garbage, not garbage. M1: She wanted it so badly. And I was like, this is like a sticky piece of garbage. Absolutely not. M2: It wasn't sticky. It was squishy. And I just want you to know that I bought one. I bought an Axolata thing off of Amazon because I couldn't find a stitch one. Because the one I got was so disgusting and sticky. I played with it the whole car ride home. And literally Mouse Day said, That's not coming in our house. And she made me throw it out. And I was like, honestly, it was repulsive. So M1: Okay, some random In the China pavilion in Epcot for a very brief period of time, was it China that had the eggs? Okay, Japan. They had if if M2: It was Japan. Gutama? M1: you know who Guditama is, he is a lazy egg character from Japan. And so they had these little mystery eggs. This was honestly like before the like mystery things really like exploded in the way they have now. This was like years ago. They had these eggs and you would get a little beanbag Gutitama, okay? So muscle two and I each got one. We loved them. So then we would continue to look for them. Mine's like literally over there. We would continue to look for them every time, and they did not have them. So instead, at some point, we got these like it wasn't like a beanbag soft one. It was like a silicone squishy one. With like a liquid inside. And we both got. M2: With like a liquid inside. And we both got a pancake with Gutatama on top. And Mouse Lit one, I don't know if that's what we even gonna say, but Mouse Lit M1: It was. M2: one squeezed it and the entire thing just exploded. so funny. M1: I squeeze yeah, cause Mauslet too would tell me she kept hers in the car and she would use it as like a little Yeah, M2: I still have it and I still keep it yeah. When I'm bored as heck on a car ride, I squish the thing. M1: like stress ball fidget. So I was like, that like does sound fun. I didn't really use mine. Literally squeeze mine once, boozh explodes everywhere. I was like, M2: Yep. And then we bought another one to replace that one for you at some point and we got a pancake again and you gave it to me and it has a small hole in it. So he's sort of like M1: So d be warned, don't squeeze it. M2: Well, I have a squish on the way. That is the thing I just bought from Amazon. anything else? We need to buy some stuff for D twenty three potentially if we're doing a themed costume. Can't even begin to get into that. Let's get into the news. I saw an Instagram post like thirty minutes before we started recording this from Shades of Green. And it said that they have to del M1: Well wait. Explain what shades of green is. I feel like it's not all that well known. M2: I'm gladly. So the third resort to ever be built. Let me go back in time. The third resort to M1: In in like in like five seconds, maybe. M2: ever be built at Disney was something called the Golf Resort. Disney didn't want to invest in a super expensive resort, so they built something much cheaper between their two golf courses, the golf resort. Later they realized the golf resort branding wasn't really working. They weren't getting as many people staying there. So they rebranded to the Disney Inn, which was basically the exact same theme. It's just like had a subtle a very subtle overlay. Then eventually, it still wasn't very popular. the US Army or the US military was looking for a place to have a a vacation destination, basically. They weren't just looking at Disney, they were looking all over the place. Disney basically tossed their hat in the ring and they were selected. And so they turned the Disney Inn, which again is located right by the Magic Kingdom golf courses, into shades of green. And it is now It's all US military, I believe, can stay there, but it's from its army, I s think specifically. So that that's accurate. M1: Yes, that was a good description. So you may not have heard of it because if you're just like looking on the Disney website to book, you cannot book shades of green because it is only for military families and so you have to book it. I don't actually know how you book it, but military families have access to booking it. Anyways, what did you see on Instagram? M2: Anyway, so they post it on their Instagram. In accordance with the Army Directive 2026-17, this account will have to be deactivated and archived by July 30th of 2026. This action is part of an army-wide effort to streamline official communications and provide a clear, unified voice across the Army. For future news, resort updates, and resources, visit our official update or website and sign up for a newsletter. And people are furious and they're like, Can you make they're like, please, please get an exception? And they're like, Did you try to get an exception? And they said, They commented back and they said, Yes, we did. So, it's M1: I mean that does make like it that does make sense that people are upset because like I said, Shades of Green is not a an easy resort to get information on because it is only for military. I guess they have their own website, but it makes sense that their Instagram account probably was a helpful resource for finding out information about the resort. so that is sad. That's a bummer. M2: And just like celebrating fun things that they did. Like I guess the Grand Floridian say, which is right nearby, doesn't have an Instagram page and like people still book book it, but they're not making any statements on like anything army related. But I guess like whatever. So that Instagram account is going away. M1: Sad. Okay, the next piece of news. So we've said this many times. D23 is approaching. The news is going to die down as that happens. However, something really interesting is that every time that D23 rolls around, San Diego Comic-Con, which is like the biggest Comic-Con, I would say, that in New York, but it's very large, happens like a few weeks before. And Disney tends to announce big Marvel things at San Diego Comic-Con. For Marvel fans, that's where they announce that. Robert Downey Jr. would be returning for Doomsday. It was like a big deal. They did that at Comic Con, not at D20. I'm sorry. What's the booing for? M2: I don't wanna hear about Doomsday anymore. Yeah. M1: they did it at Comic-Con instead of D23. That trend has continued this year. I guess they know like more Marvel fans are probably at Comic-Con than D23, so like it makes sense. But, anyways, the big announcements were Black Panther Three will be coming. I believe at the end of twenty twenty eight it will be released. And then new character Ghost Rider is coming and it will be played by Ryan Gosling. I don't know anything about Ghost Rider, but I'm excited for Ryan Gosling to join the universe, so that's the Marvel M2: He's also M1: news. M2: joining Star Wars universe. So busy busy man. M1: Wow, he's a hot commodity these days. M2: okay, this last one is very devastating, actually. we need like the funeral march in here. Dude. M1: I saw this, I'm devastated. do do do M2: Single rider is being officially removed from Everest. The single rider sign was taken down. it's technically still open at the time of recording. You have to ask a cast member and they'll escort you. But cast members have confirmed that it will very soon be permanently closed. And the reason is is that Disney restructured how they're actually loading the ride, similar to what they do with Cosmic Rewind, which is that they get odd parties and they bull board a full train of odd parties and then they board a full train of even parties. And basically M1: Odd party sounds so fun. They bought a full trade of Weirdos and then they bought a full trade of Norwell. No, odd party is like three people, five people. M2: Like three if you have three people, five people. Yes, if you have three people, five people, then you don't need to have a single rider. If you have four, two, six, two, two, four, whatever. So very rarely would you need a single rider except like maybe the last car of the train. And so it just isn't worthwhile. It's better for the standby queue, honestly. I'm kinda bummed 'cause we would pop in that single rider line sometimes just to ride it, but I get it. And also it did cause issues. Like I know cast members have said that people had a really hard time being separated, which like guys, come on. M1: single rider was one of the best single riders. However, this new way of loading definitely helps the standby queue be more efficient and faster, which is obviously the ultimate goal. And people have said that since they did that, the single rider line has been absolutely terrible and abysmal because they don't need single riders. So like it makes sense that they don't they're gonna get rid of it, but it's a sad day for all of us single riders. M2: It is a sad day. and with that we'll get into something more fun, our main segment. We're doing a snack bracket. We're doing a snack. M1: So we have come up with what we think, and you can debate us, but what we think are some of the 16 most iconic snacks at Disney World specifically. And we have put them into a bracket. We will share this bracket so that you can play along if you want. Look in this episode description and I'll link where you can find it or right where you can find it. We'll put it on Instagram too, but like if you wanna whatever find it. However, M2: Fill it out, Taca, so we can see it in your stories also. But M1: Yes. And so we are going to go through the bracket and each come up with an ultimate snack winner and we're gonna discuss. So our very okay. M2: Wait, a couple of ground rules that we had for it when we came up with it. We decided to do just sweet snacks. So there's nothing savory that's included in here. That was on purpose. We'll do a savory bracket another time. Festival food is not allowed in this bracket. So no specialty items, no holiday items. It has to be something that's around all the time. These are Walt Disney World specific. And then nothing at Disney Springs. So no like Gideon's cookies or like boathouse, whatever. It's all stuff at theme parks and I guess potentially resorts. Water parks. okay. We have four different segments to start that we're gonna run through. Should we run through the snacks first, probably? M1: All of them? M2: I don't know. What do you think? M1: Sure. Okay, so here is what we're going to be doing. Our bracket has confectionary popcorn versus rice crispy. We have cookie dough sandwich, which is the new thing in Animal Kingdom, versus the Typhoon Lagoon mini donuts, cream cheese pretzel versus Gaston Cinnamon Bun, Cheshire Catch Tail versus churro, caramel apple versus numnum cookie, Wookiee Cookie versus Carrot Cake Cookie, school bread versus French pressed ice cream. And Dole Whip versus Mickey Bar. If you don't know what any of those are, don't worry. We're gonna talk about them as we go through. But we're gonna start in the top left of our bracket. This is the confectionery popcorn versus the rice crispy. So first the confectionary popcorn. What we mean here. M2: The confectionery popcorn is new. It they made it in the past. I think they made it around the 50th anniversary that they redid the chapeau, the hat shop on Main Street USA. They extended the confectionery and created a build your own popcorn stand where you can get a like a tin of popcorn that they you know, fresh popcorn. There's a couple of different flavors. They'll put a sauce like chocolate or caramel or marshmallow, and then they have all of these toppings, MMs, Oreos, pretzels, marshmallows, and you can get kind of a mix and they do specialty holiday ones as well. It's it's really fun. And you can get a to go cover to carry it around the park too, which we usually do. M1: This was such a challenging one for me. the rice crispy, I am assuming everybody knows what that is. This was so hard because the rice crispy is like one of my top, top, top treats. As is the confectionery popcorn. I like love both of these. I wanna know what you picked. M2: I will be honest, I was in the same predicament for a couple of them that I had two things that I loved so much. And so I rearranged the bracket for those ones so they wouldn't have to be against each other in the first round. okay, M1: That's guys, mouse let two did the bracket. So that's unacceptable. M2: I was torn also because I love the rice crispies. The reason that I chose, I chose popcorn, and the reason that I chose popcorn is that of late I found that some of the rice crispies are like ooey gooey, soft in the best way, but more often I Finding that they're kind of a little bit hard and I don't like a hard one that's not soft. And so because of that, and because the confectionary popcorn basically always hits for me, I chose the confectioner popcorn. But I love the rice crispies. So like it was a tough call. M1: Okay, I picked the rice crispies, and my reasoning was when I go to the confectionery, I would say I almost always get a rice crispy. Like I love the rice crispies from the confectionery. I literally get one probably just about every time. I don't always get the confectionery popcorn. I think simply because it's like a bigger snack and I'm not always hungry enough for like that large of a thing, or I don't want to carry it around. M2: Mm. M1: That's the only reason I piss picked Rice Krispie. But the confectionery popcorn, okay, last year when Starlight came out, they had a Starlight themed confectionery popcorn. Mouse Latin and I were leaving the park. We M2: Iconic. Yep. M1: were literally, it was so late at night, we were exiting. We were sitting right at the contemporary. And we said, wait, you know what we need right now? The Starlight Confectionary Popcorn. And M2: Okay. M1: at the end of the night, it just hits, and then you have it in your room. The marshmallows get a little stale in like the best way over a couple M2: The best way. M1: of days. Ugh, it's so good. But I did have to pick the Race Krispy simply 'cause I get it basically every single time. M2: I'm so I'm surprised because I thought we'd be on the same page, but now that I'm looking at this, I actually think we're gonna end up being different for three out of the four of this left side. So we'll see, but M1: You did rearrange this sort of to optimize it for yourself, so M2: No, I wouldn't say that. I mean the next one was a tough call for me because the next one, M1: Me too. M2: the cookie have you even tried that cookie dough sandwich? M1: No. M2: But how is it a tough call? The next one, it's new at Animal M1: Continue. Continue describing. M2: Kingdom. You can get it right over by the entrance to Africa at a little booth across from Creature Comforts, across across from the Starbucks. It is a brownie base with vanilla ice cream and cookie dough with a little bit of sea salt sprinkled on the top. It is a brand new sandwich. Me and Mouse Lit A got it. It is Or was very, very, very hyped up that they had like the most efficient system to hand them out and the line was like thirty people deep. M1: I think the line is still really long. M2: Probably because people are seeing it who, you know, don't go all the time. And so like it's on a lot of people's list. It was I'll describe it because Mouse at one hasn't had it. The brownie was really good. The vanilla ice cream was plain, kind of like soft servie, basically. The cookie dough was good with the sea salt. It needed like a little je ne sais quoi, like a little bit more, but it was really good. M1: The next thing in this in this bracket is the Typhoon Lagoon mini donuts. If you have not had these at Typhoon Lagoon, Joffrey's has these mini donuts, like munchkins kind of, but n not really like munchkins. They're well like the size of munchkins, I guess. But yeah, they're M2: Actually like munchkins at all. They're like beignet they're more beignety to me. M1: very fluffy. and they have like powdered sugar, and then you can get one of three different sauces. And they're kind of like an iconic thing that they randomly. Only have it Typhoon Lagoon. This was extremely challenging for me as well. Yes. M2: Wait, I have to shout out Jordan Sleek because she was the one who turned us onto these Typhoon Lagoon donuts, and they are so good. And they also have dipping sauces. Did you mention that? They have chocolate dipping sauce. I was too busy trying to just think of what you decided. M1: I did. Strawberry and one other one. M2: Well, I picked the cookie dough sandwich because I love those mini donuts and they are really good. And I've only had this cookie dough sandwich once, and I remember in the moment I was like, this is good, but not great. But something about it was just calling me and I said, Cookie dough sandwich is my winner. M1: Here's what's hard for me, I haven't had the cookie dough sandwich, but what would my favorite dessert like ever is cookie dough. So I think that I would love it, but I haven't had it. M2: I think you would love it too. M1: I picked the cookie dough sandwich. I've never even had M2: Yeah. M1: it, guys. I've never even had it. And literally, M2: Yeah. M1: as we are speaking, I almost switched my answer to the Typhoon Lagoon Donuts because I love those too. I like like those more than Maslow 2, I would say. M2: Yeah, you you loved those last time. You M1: But the cookie dough sandwich, I just love cookie dough so much. M2: It's good. I'll say it. It's good. So wow, I can't believe you picked it and you've never even had it. Okay. M1: Me neither, and I'm honestly considering switching my answer, and by the time we get to the next round, it might be switched. M2: No. No, it's not. Okay. M1: Next, cream cheese pretzel and Gaston's cinnamon bun. M2: The cream cheese pretzel, I could see people being like, this is savory, this is savory. But a lot of people voted this for sweet treat, because we put this in our close friend story for people to vote. And I kind of agree. It is a pretzel that's has like kind of a sugary cinnamony type outside. And then inside is like a sweet cream cheese. So I would say it's like kind of on the border. I got one. Here's a little bit of mouse let's lore. This is like classic our family. There are some members of our family who the second they get hungry, they become insane. I'm one of them. So M1: Mouse Lit Two and our dad M2: Yep. M1: are they're like, I'm I'm starving. I'm starving. Need to eat right now. M2: I needed to go eat lunch. I wasn't in that state yet, though. I was just like, I'm hungry. I'm gonna have lunch. And Mama and Papa Mousel, this was on our May trip. They were like, we're not hungry. I was like, wow, I'm so surprised you guys aren't hungry. Mouse of C and Mouse One, no one was hungry. So I said, All right, I'll eat lunch alone. I got a hearts of palm wrap from and hush puppies from Columbia Harbor House. It was a small meal, but it was good. And there was rice, and I was like, I don't need to just eat plain white rice. So a couple of hours later, no one else is hungry. I'm like, I'm gonna get myself a A cream cheese pretzel from the lunching pad, which is where you can get this at Tomorrowland at Magic Kingdom. I said, This is good. I'm a little bit hungry. It's gonna hold me over. I bring it back. Mama mouse lit. I'm Are you hungry? Does anyone want one? She goes, No. Then I bring it back. Suddenly, because this cream cheese pretzel is in front of them, they are more ravenous than they've ever been before. And so I had like a couple of bites and then I gave the rest to them and they loved it. That's the story. So it is really good. M1: The cream cheese pretzel reminds me of Mouse Lit 2. She is the only person I know who eats it. the next is Gaston's cinnamon bun. We have told a fun story about that on our Patreon, which by the way, if you want access to our close friend story that Mouse Lit 2 was mentioning, you can join our peach crew on our Patreon. but we have told a story about this on our Patreon that I can't really tell here, but a little teaser for some for some Patreon episode. But The Gaston Cinnamon Bun is at Gaston's Tavern and it's like a big cinnamon bun. I'm kind of surprised you didn't do a Mickey cinnamon bun here. M2: to be honest, I forgot that existed. Someone commented cinnamon bun and I said or maybe it was you. M1: when I said s some I was gonna say someone commented cinnamon bun. That was me. Okay, this was a completely easy one for me because I hate cream cheese. Cinnamon bun. M2: I've had that cinnamon bun once in twenty eighteen, twenty eighteen lore. I chose the cream cheese pretzel because it's amazing. I like that cinnamon bun when I had it, but like, meh, you know who loves cinnamon buns? Mouselit A M1: The cream cheese pretzel is like yours. Mouse it a M2: loves this. And anytime we go to like a bakery, she's like, ooh, a cinnamon bun. I'm like, I don't really want a cinnamon. The last thing I want and she's like stuffed it, M1: And she and she eats one bite and then she can't eat any more of it. M2: it just sits on our counter. So, okay, I chose the cream cheese pretzel. M1: I have an announcement. I'm officially changing my answer on the last one to mini donuts. I can't choose the cookie sandwich when I haven't had it. Mini donut, mini donut. M2: I circled it. I've been keeping track of yours. You're screwing up my entire thing. Okay. Mini mini mounds bars. M1: Mini donut. I'm on board. Mini donut. Mini does anyone know what that's from? You've definitely said it on this podcast before. It's a really M2: From the office. M1: niche office reference. Okay, our next bracket is the Cheshire versus the Churro. I assume everybody knows what a churro is, but the Cheshire is like a twisted sort of chocolate croissant with icing on it that you can get at the Cheshire, which is a little stand right outside of Cosmic Ray's near the mad tea party. M2: It is very, very good. It's very delicious. I will be honest, I've never had no actually, I'm lying. I have had a churro at Magic Kingdom at Mickey's not so scary Halloween party in September M1: So scary Halloween party. M2: of 2022. And it was the most mediocre thing. I've had them at Nomad Lounge as well. meh, I'm not a churro girl. Cheshire Cattail is really good. I don't love a churro. I know people say Disneyland churros are better. I just would never go to Magic Kingdom and get a churro, to be honest, or anywhere at Disney World, really. Except no my lounge. M1: I actually, yeah, they're really good at Nomad Lounge. I actually really like churros. I have also really only had them like once at Magic Kingdom at Mickey's Not So Scary. I eat them more in Disneyland. However, the Cheshire is one of my absolute favorites that I always get. Cheshiale has to be the winner for me. And a lot of you I feel like probably haven't tried a Cheshire. And I'm telling you, you should try it. It's extremely good. M2: I have to do a shout out to Anita because Anita said that the Cheshire Cat Cafe has cupcakes with like amazing frosting or something like that. I never knew about that. Let's finish up this left side of the bracket and get our front runner since we've just gone through all of these because we're we're in a very different spot right now that we've picked mostly opposite, in fact, almost all opposite, except you change one of your answers. So my my next round, this is the semifinals, I believe, right? It's the quarterfinals. M1: No, this is quarter finals. M2: I my quarterfinals, confectionery popcorn versus cookie dough sandwich. I'm choosing the confectionary popcorn. I love the confectionery popcorn. It's just it's such a hit. While the cookie dough sandwich is good, if I had to get rid of one of them, it's gonna be that one. So M1: My quarterfinal for that side is the rice crispy versus the mini donuts. Big change alert there. That is gonna be rice crispy for me. Again, I get it basically every single time I go. And so I feel like it would be a disservice to not choose one of my favorite treats. M2: I have next the cream cheese pretzel versus the Cheshire. I'll be honest. Initially I filled this out as the Cheshire Cattail, but now I'm ch now I'm changing M1: You're pulling an audible, you're changing it. M2: it. I'm changing it to the cream cheese pretzel. I'm just like, you know what? Also part of it, I will say, some of my answers are driven by the fact that I myself an extremely lactose intolerant. And so sometimes, like something with dairy, I'm just like, if I can have a non-dairy option and cream cheese doesn't make me sick. As someone who eats. A lot of bagels, I can tell you that. So I'm choosing the cream cheese pretzel. M1: Okay, I had Gaston Cinnamon Bun versus the Cheshire for this quarterfinal round. And Gaston Cinnamon Bun to me is actually absolutely nothing special. It's not something that I love. I just hate cream cheese pretzels. M2: Ha. M1: So it is one hundred percent the Cheshire that wins. M2: Now we're in the semifinals. This is the confront. okay, we'll go M1: Yes. No, let's not let's not do semifinals yet. Let's go to the other side. M2: to the other side. Okay. First up on the other side, we have well, yeah, the caramel apple versus the numbnum cookie. The caramel apple, obviously, it's an apple. It's covered with caramel. Mouse Leday gets them periodically. The num Num Cookie is they have it at California Adventure as well, but they have it at Disney World by the old Municiberg thing in Hollywood Studios. It's Jack Jack's num Num Cookie. It is a warm, gooey chocolate chip cookie with that's basically it. It's big. It's bake. And M1: It's giant. It's gigantic. Yes. M2: it's amazing. And it's so delicious. And it's what I chose. I don't really like a caramel apple. I'm just gonna throw that out there. Meh. M1: Yeah, here's my thing. Sometimes a caramel apple, when Mouse Liday gets it, actually like really hits. There's just moments when I'm like, ooh, I actually would love a crisp caramel apple right now. However, caramel apples are at Disney at least are often made with green apples, which I don't really like that much. And a caramel apple, well, sometimes it hits. I would never really buy one on my own. A num num cookie, on the other hand, is delicious. It is ooey gooey. It is so good. I want one basically every time I go. We've actually not really eaten them as much lately. M2: In a very long time. Yeah, we do. M1: And we need to get back on board the Num Num Cookie Train immediately. M2: Something else I'll say about the caramel apple is that I remember the first time Mouse Letty got one, which was I think like twenty eighteen, it really enjoying it. A fun fact about me is that I despise soft, squishy fruit. I only eat unripe fruit. In fact, I bought a nectarine and it was so soft, but like not really. It was just something a regular person would buy, and I was like, I can't eat that. Sitting downstairs. I like unripe fruit as hard as can be. Usually like if it's supposed to be a certain color and it hasn't turned that color, like that's what I want to eat. I like a crispy nonripe green apple. And the green apples there are far too ripe for me, that they're like kind of mushy almost and it doesn't suit my fancy. M1: Green apples are too tart for me. However, a tip, if you are getting a caramel apple, they'll slice it for you. I just feel like people don't know that and it seems like so intimidating to eat a caramel apple, they will slice it for you. M2: They will. Well we both chose the num Num Cookie. M1: Next up, we have the Wookiee cookie versus the carrot cake cookie. I feel like both of these are niche and people don't know what they are. M2: Hollywood Studios rundown. That's why I put them against each other though. Which one do you want to explain? M1: Okay. The carrot cake cookie is different than it used to be, but it is served. We actually talked about this last week randomly. It is served at the Starbucks in Hollywood Studios. It's two like round pieces of carrot cake. It's really not a cookie. And in M2: Like a wall be by. M1: the center is like the icing that's usually found in carrot cake. I think it's like cream cheese based. M2: Cream cheese. Yeah. M1: Yeah. Ice cream icing. Wookiee cookie. M2: Okay, that's the carrot cake cookie. It used to be, yeah, like a crispy cookie. Now it's basically a whoopee pie. The Wookiee cookie is at the Backlot Express over kind of by Star Tours. I guess that's why it's there. It we've had it one time. It is an oatmeal cookie. I don't think there's raisins in it. It's an oatmeal cookie with a like sweet, not cream cheesy, like something along those lines, frosting in the middle. And it has Chewy's like vest thing kind of on it with a little chocolate wafer. I love. Oatmeal cookies. M1: Museo. M2: Like I like the carrot cake cookie, but it is very whoopie pie ish. I voted for the Wookiee cookie, but it was a tough call, but I chose Wookiee Cookie. M1: I 100% chose the wook Wookiee cookie. The carrot cake cookie, I don't really like cream cheese. As I've said, I can do cream cheese frosting, but it's not my favorite. The carrot cake cookie. Also, the carrot cake cookies, because they come from Starbucks, are like cold in a way that doesn't work for me for like a cake thing. M2: They're chilled, they're literally chilled, yeah. M1: Yeah, Wookiee cookie for sure. Next up we have an Epcot battle. This is the school bread from Norway versus the French pressed ice cream. So the French pressed ice cream has kind of been like viral on social media. You may have seen it. It is in the France Pavilion. And they take like a brioche bun, like that you would eat like a hamburger on, and take a brioche bun, and they put a scoop of ice cream in the center and they press it so that the edges of the brioche bun M2: And some sauce, like a caramel sauce or a chocolate sauce. M1: yeah, and they press it so the edges of the brioche bun like seal and it becomes kind of like an ice cream sandwich with the sauce in the middle made of the brioche bun. Okay, you're spoiling what you picked. M2: You might have seen my viral video talking about how it sucks. another thing that went super viral that we've had, I think once, M1: Once. M2: although I think I might like it more now, is the schoolbread. This is a Norwegian delicacy. There's actually a couple of things in Norway that are kind of popular. There's like a troll horn I almost included in this list, but a lot of people said school bread, so that's what I picked. It is kind of like a plain bagel with something stuffed inside. I think there's I you know what? I actually feel like I'm Don't know how to explain it. How does one explain school bread? Pausing for time while I try to look it up. Epcot school bread. Epcot schoolbread is a M1: What is school bred Disney Norway? It is a M2: famous sweet Norwegian roll filled with vanilla custard, dipped with white icing and covered with toasted coconut. You can buy it at the Kringla Cafe. It sounds amazing. And you know what? It wasn't that good when we tried it because M1: It's not. Yeah. M2: people told us it was like the best thing ever, and then it wasn't that good. I'm willing to try it again because it kinda looks like a bagel, but I picked this cool bread. M1: That's how much Mousel too hates the brioche thing. I M2: It tastes like eating a p a bad hamburger bun with ice cream. It just does not it's not good. M1: Mouseless C loves that. I picked the French pressed ice cream. The school bread was the most I'm sorry to school bread lovers. I know it has a huge cult following. The most mediocre thing I've ever had. I did not like it. M2: School bread to me, there are some things that give twenty eighteen Disney influencer culture, Disney blog culture. And school M1: Schoolbird is one of them. M2: bread is so one of them. But that's my choice. School bread. So M1: Okay, now we have the most classic battle of all, which is Dole Whip versus Mickey Bar. Here's something I need to say. I prefer a Mickey ice cream sandwich to a Mickey Bar like any day of the week. I think the ice cream sandwich is far superior. However, in this case we are doing Mickey Bar versus Dole Whip. Yeah. M2: I I agree. One million a Mickey sandwich. I wouldn't I wouldn't even need a Mickey bar. M1: well, I did pick Mickey Bar of these two. I have to say. I am just like, I'm not a huge citrus. I know that's like whatever. People love, love, love the Dole Whip. I sometimes a Dole Whip Hits. Sometimes I'm really hot and have refreshing Dole Whip Hits. I just am not a huge like citrus. That flavor profile is like not what I gravitate towards. So like a Mickey Bar, you know, it's good. I picked that. M2: We had these we went to a dessert party one time and we had these like nitro dipped Mickey bars. You get like a topping on them. I don't know if they do them at all dessert parties or not. That was pretty good. But M1: Those were good. M2: truly, like genuinely, and it's not just 'cause I'm lactose intolerant, although that again, that plays a big role in a lot of my choices, cause Dole Whips don't have lactose FYI, if you get like a fruit flavored one. I don't know if we've have I ever bought a Mickey Bar in the past since starting the mouse lits from A stand? I don't think so. We got free H two O Glow M1: 'Cause we would buy an i M2: and I didn't even get that. But M1: and we'd buy an ice cream sandwich if we were gonna buy anything like that. M2: Which I don't think we have a have you ever even bought an ice cream sandwich? In l in M1: Not frequently. M2: like I don't think in the past eight years we have. I never even consider it. So M1: What did you pick? A door? M2: I obviously picked a dole whip. The M1: Okay. M2: okay. So of I mean, okay, school bread versus adole whip. Like obviously a dole whip is gonna win. So sorry, school bread. M1: Okay, this bottom right quadrant, which is I guess what we're starting with for the quarterfinals, was so weak for me. School bread, bad. French pressed ice cream, meh. Dole whip, nah meh. Ice cream, Mickey Bar, meh. For me. So I have the French pressed ice cream versus a Mickey Bar. Honestly, I picked the French pressed ice cream thing. Which I Masl2 M2: God, that's M1: Mouse 2 doesn't like, but for me, like I I don't know. I it's kind of like a battle of the mehs. For the top right M2: That's crazy. Yeah, what'd you pick for that? M1: Quarter final. We both had the numnum cookie versus the Wookiee cookie. These are both cookies that I really like, but the numnum cookie is just superior for me. M2: I also picked the Num Num Cookie, although I love the Wookiee Cookie. We've only had it once. It was very, very sweet. As is the as is the cookie num. But the cookie numb in my mind is I like I could eat it any time and I have to be in the mood for the Wookiee Cookie. M1: You said cookie nom nom too many times. Nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom nom. M2: I had to be the mood. I picked the num Num Cookie. Okay, my final four is the confectioner popcorn versus a cream cheese pretzel versus a num cookie versus a dole whip. M1: I have a Rice Krispy Treat versus a Cheshire Cattail and then a numnum cookie versus the French press ice cream thing. M2: Wow, we both have so numb numb cookies the only repetitive. Okay. Confectionary popcorn versus a cream cheese pretzel. I love both of these, but if I'm thinking a true sweet treat, as I said, the cream cheese pretzel in my mind sort of sits on the edge of savory. So for my true the sweetest of most delicious treats, I'm going with the confectionary popcorn. M1: Okay, from my left side, Rice Krispie Treat versus Cheshire. These are my top two favorite sweet Magic Kingdom snacks. Like these are the two things that I get basically every single time, both of them. So this was very challenging for me. However, I did pick the Cheshire Cattail. M2: Wow. I kind of thought you were gonna choose the Rice Krispie. I had that highlighted for what I thought you would pick, but M1: I love a Rice Krispie, but a Cheshire Cattail is a little more unique. It has a little M2: True. M1: more of that je ne sais quoi. Now, M2: Okay. M1: I'll just get my right side out of the way. The numnum cookie versus the meh French pressed ice cream. Obviously the numnum cookie one. Again, that bottom right quadrant for me was a dud. M2: I have the num num cookie versus the dole whip. And what wins for me is the dole whip. Not necessarily because it's a more delicious sweet treat, although I do like a dole whip, but more so I eat a dole whip out of the necessity that I'm lactose intolerant. So I chose a dole whip for that reason. Something that you'll learn, my fellow lactose intolerant friends out there, is that if I eat like regular ice cream, Like if I ate a Mickey Bar, I would just feel ill. Like I would just feel so sick that I associate a lot of like ice cream with just feeling sick. And so sometimes I'm like the num num cookie just makes my stomach hurt. Whereas a dole whip almost feels like healthy to me because I don't feel sick after eating it. So my final two are confectionary popcorn versus a dole whip. And your final two? M1: Cheshire Cat Tail versus a Num Num Cookie. I just need to say it's so unfair that you put Rice Krispie against confectionary popcorn. That was stacked against me person You did. That was stacked against M2: I didn't even know you loved Rice Krispie that much. M1: me personally. That was a personal attack. Okay. M2: I had the Cheshire Cattail versus a Dole Whip originally and I said, No, no, no, that won't do. So I had to do a swap. okay, so I mean I think I know your. Do you think you know mine? M1: I do. M2: Okay, I'm gonna say what I think yours is, you can say what you think mine is. I think yours is a Cheshire cattail. M1: I think yours is confectionary popcorn. And? M2: You know what is funny is that mine actually was confectionary popcorn, but as we were talking and as I was thinking about a dole whip and how it's just my trusty, true go-to thing that never makes me sick. Whereas every time I eat confectionery popcorn, I have to take like three or four lactate pills because I eat it over time that I swapped it to dole whip. M1: So your winner is Dole Web? M2: They're cl they were so close, but my winner was dole M1: Wow, M2: whip. M1: you know what also is like 2018 Instagram influencer vibes, Dole Whips. I know people like love Dole Whips though, but like Dole Whips really had a big moment to me like early on on Instagram. So my number one is indeed a Cheshire. I absolutely love Cheshials. And as I hinted at earlier, if you have never had one, you should try one because I feel like they're very underrated and people don't really know about them. It's like not something that others would deem an iconic snack, but to me. It is the best. M2: I feel like we gave someone a Cheshire Cat tell recently. Like mom. M1: It was Mama Mouselit. It was Mama Mouselet. And she was like who loves pastries and stuff and she was like, Meh. Yeah. M2: A chocolate croissant. Yeah. She's like, They do also have something like this at Animal Kingdom, sometimes called a tiger tail. Same thing, different name. Just for reference, if you're going to Animal Kingdom and you want to get it there. wow. Yeah. If I wasn't lactose intolerant, I think that the confectionary popcorn would have won. But it's just that was what did it for me. So M1: It's so crazy to me. Like I would say the confectionary popcorn, the Rice Krispie, or the Cheshire Cat all had like a decent shot of winning for me. But two of them were pitted against each other in round one, and all of them were on the left side. So I had to like narrow them down early. The right side was not as strong for I do really like the numnum cookie, but everything else on the right side I could do without immediately. M2: It it's funny because like I didn't realize that you were that diehard of a Rice Krispie girl, honestly. So M1: do you not notice that I get one every single time we go in the confectionery? You know I'm always scoping out my Rice Krispie. M2: Someone just commented recently, and then we'll get into our special segment, but someone just commented, like, I don't like the confectionary treats as much as you guys do. And I was like, huh. I feel like you and Mouse Day are actually the ones who love the confectionery treats. Mouse Day, M1: We are. M2: you know why? Because I'm lactose intolerant. Truly. It all comes back to the curse of me being lactose intolerant. And with that. I'm being booed because you feel bad for me or because I said I laxed in tolerant too many times. M1: The second one. M2: Today for Mouselet's Lore, this is a listener request from our Peach Crew, a member of the Peach Crew, who asked for a Mouselett's Lore drop of some of our favorite childhood memories at Disney. We went to Disney every year, so we have many. We've talked about some in the past, but I typed out six random ones and that's what we're gonna discuss. The first I typed out is in honor of Papa Mouselit, because he is on a business trip in Miami right now. M1: And he went to a restaurant that we always used to visit when we went down to Orlando, which was Fudrucker's, which is kind of like a weird name. But Fudrucker's is a hamburger restaurant where you can like basically like build your own hamburger and they have like a huge toppings bar, at least they did back in the day. And it was in this specific plaza in Orlando that I believe has since been demolished. It was I believe it was demolished like eight years ago or something like that. But it was absolutely iconic. Remember, we always stayed off site. And so we would do certain meals off site. For example, there's a pizza place in Orlando called Flippers that I once wore Mickey ears into, and Mouslit 2 thinks that's like the funniest thing of all time because I forgot to take them off. We would all M2: You were so embarrassed. It was so funny. M1: we would always go to Flippers and we would always go to Fudruckers. Papa Mouslit loves Fudruckers. And in fact, he went to a Fud Rucker's in Miami today. M2: He did. And he said, Flood Rockers in all caps. I don't think I've been to a Flood Rocker since I became a vegetarian. M1: I assume they have veggie burgers, but I'm sure it doesn't hit the same. M2: I assume they do as well. Okay, next up, I had to include this because me and Mouse Lit A were just talking as we prepped for this episode, because she loves snacks. I tried to get her to come on, but it just wasn't the right night for it. But I said, you know, it would be fun if we did a bracket of the best Disney smells. And so we were brainstorming the best Disney smells. And I was like, ooh, this is really niche. But the smell of like walking up past the bushes to the contemporary. And she was like, What? And I was like, no, like. M1: Yeah, that's not a smell that you could put in a bracket, but I know that smell. M2: That smell is like in my personal bracket because we used to go to Chef Mickey's every single year as kids and there are these specific bushes that we would walk past and we'd go out to that like silver Mickey thing in the back and it was just like we're at the contemporary and that's what reminded me of. And also, I mean, Chef Mickey's was so fun all the time. So M1: Speaking of contemporary, listen guys, don't come at us, okay? This was like a really long time ago. But we didn't like the TTC. We still don't, okay? But we understand we have to deal with the TTC. But back in the day, we didn't like the TTC and neither did our parents. And this was also we were kids, yeah. And M2: We were kids. This is all on Mama and Papa Mouselette. M1: also the security just wasn't what it is now. We would, Mama Mouselip would drive to the contemporary and like swing around right in front of the contemporary when there where there's a stoplight. And when the light was red, say, Get out, get out, get out, get out, get out. And us and the us kids and Papa Mouselet would run out of the car M2: Ha ha ha. M1: so that we could go walk into Magic Kingdom from there. And then I guess poor Mama Mouselit would go all the way to the T T C and take the M2: 'Cause we want M1: monorail or the fairy herself because she didn't r doesn't really do rides. M2: Yeah, like and she would go and get us some fast passes and like stuff like that, or we'd meet up. So funny. I remember getting out and like sliding the doors. We would always get a mini vent, sliding the doors, jumping out. Yeah, no one really cared back then, to be honest. This was like two thousand and like four, probably. Like through like two thousand and you know, ten or something, obviously. But security was not what it is today. Today it is so strict and for good reason. You really shouldn't do that, but M1: Something so random is that right there, there's like this concrete triangle in the center of the road, because of the way the road goes. M2: An island. Yep, a median. M1: And they park, I think they still do this, they park a sheriff's car on it to, you know, to deter people from doing what we were doing. But Papa Mousla always showed us, which it was, it it was true then. I don't really know now. There was never anybody in the car. The car was just parked, the car was just parked. M2: It is. It's always empty. But they're around. M1: Yeah, they're around. But the car was just parked there to kind of like scare you. But if you actually looked, there's no police officer in the car, so Papa Muscle would like, don't worry about the car and we'd we'd just run out. Skidottle on out. M2: They're being incredibly strict about all this stuff right now. Honestly, it's like, you know what? The TTC sucks and like let's do it. Let's just all use it. Okay, three more. This popped into my mind. The Kim Possible game. And then that turned into the Phineas and Ferb, M1: Perry the platypus. M2: yeah, Perry the Platypus game. But the Kim Possible game, M1: Now it's duck tails. M2: you would get, I don't even think they have it anymore. You would get this special cell phone from that you would like. borrow from this Kim Possible stand. And you would go around and you could play it on the phone and would activate all of these special different things, like little like animatronic y things. There was one with like a golf ball. I don't know if this was for Nas and Forever Kim Possible. But M1: The golf ball was iconic. It was iconic. M2: over in the UK pavilion, that one was so good. There was one in France where you had to look through like a camera up and it was it was so fun. They ended up turning it into the Play Disney app, which like could have been something great and it M1: It does still it does still exist. DuckTales is still available in Play Disney. But M2: Interesting. Does it make stuff come alive in the pavilion still? M1: Yeah, we recently said that we should do it, but we just like didn't do it. I M2: DuckTales World Shookies Adventure, wow they do. M1: Mm-hmm. Something that I always thought interesting is I remember when they opened the Kim Possible one, Kim Possible was like on its last legs. Like Kim Possible was like about to be done. And they opened it as Kim Possible. Then when they switched it to Phineas and Ferb, Phineas and Ferb, I, if I remember correctly, was kind of on its last legs. Granted, now Phineas and Ferb has come back, but like obviously at the time it had not. And it was always kind of like they were a little behind the ball on the theme of it. But it was really fun as kids. Now it's in the Play Disney app. It was really fun when you actually got the cell phone. That was like iconic. M2: Yeah. I don't know. We should maybe try it. I mean, it's honestly I love the idea of the Play Disney app, but it's not something we really use that much. We should try to try it out. No, M1: That much, we've basically never used it. M2: we use it in like Star Wars some, but M1: Yeah. M2: nah, it just wasn't what I wanted it to be. Okay. Have we told the story before? We were just talking about Mama Mouse and how she doesn't like rides, and I was just laughing at when she went on Evers for the first time and she sat with a single rider, which is crazy. Like she shouldn't have sat with a single rider. But she was screaming, but the guy next to her was screaming like, my God because he literally was also terrified. They were like the worst M1: We're gonna die Yeah. M2: pairing you could ever put on a ride, ever. M1: Mama Mousla has never done Everest again. Ever. And probably never will. M2: I wanna do Everest at night in the winter. Can we please add that to our list? M1: Sure, if Animal Kingdom would stay open late enough. M2: Also, here's a mouse let's lore drop. We went to the Mall of America bazillion years ago and we went on a log flume and mouselet one was no it was a roller coaster. M1: It was a roller coaster. I'm like a log flume. It was a roller coaster. M2: whatever. I was just watching someone I'll I'll have another story after this. M1: Yeah. M2: Mouse someone was too scared to go on it by herself. And so or or M1: I support myself. M2: s or sit with me. And Mama Mouse let went on it. And so Mama Mouselet and Mouse at one sat next to each other and I had to sit with some random girl. And we got a keychain of it. And I have a pic she's out. I have a picture of her at home, me and this random girl. M1: Yeah, I remember that being like iconic that you had to ride with this random girl. M2: I remember that too. My other mouse that's lower drop is we used to go, we j we've talked about this a bunch. We used to go to Storyland, but we also used to go to a place called Santa's Village, which was in New Hampshire also. And it was a little like a mini theme park, amusement park themed around Christmas. And there was a log flume there. Did you see this video? M1: No. M2: going up the conveyor thing on the log flume was a raccoon. And the guy said, my god. And then he cut the video. And for that I'm grateful. I don't know. M1: Was he okay? I think he was. In my mind, he was. M2: Me too, 'cause I think he knew what he was doing. M1: Me too. Okay, you have two in town written on this list and I'm unclear on where you were going with that. M2: I just feel like of any memories I have as a kid, because sometimes I'm like, do I remember this or do I remember pictures of it that makes me think I remember it? I remember Toontown and being in Minnie's house, Minnie Mouse's house, and looking at her special, like cake in the oven and then making your mini, whoever's house had that popcorn thing. Like M1: Popcorn. M2: that was so iconic to me. I remember going out into the like tool yard. I remember going over through the gardens. Like of any memories I have as a Kid, Toontown was such a big one. M1: Chef Mickey's is one of my biggest and Toontown is one of my biggest. I think that they felt so like Disney Disney that we like really, really focused on them. Ugh, I miss Toontown so, so much. M2: I miss we like just talked about Toontown because we just did those random facts last week. And I'm like, I should have done a full, you know, maybe we should do a full Toontown episode of Remembering Toontown. I I love to go to Disneyland's Toontown because I'm like, this is so special. But it's like, it's not our Toontown. It's not the same. And M1: It's not the same. No, it's not the same. M2: it's actually sometimes it's crazy to me that I'm like, I'll never be in Toontown again at Disney World. That's M1: It's so sad. Why would they do that? M2: they made a big mistake. So th M1: Day ten. M2: that was our mouse lit's lore. Let's end with a pit and peach. I had such a bad pit that I had to share it in our sitting on the ground segment for Patreon because it was too negative that I felt like for the full podcast. Something made me sad. So if you want to check it out, you can check out our sitting on the ground talking peach crew, pit crew there. other than that, my pit is that I was having a lot of technology issues trying to download my YouTube video this week. I finished it so ahead of the game, and it was just like seven hours of like trying to. on and off, get it to download, come back, failed, and it was very frustrating. So M1: My pit is that I have like not been drinking enough water at all and it is resulting in the end of the day, like every day I have a horrible migraine. I had a horrible migraine and we started recording this. I take excedrin and I highly recommend Excedrin if you ever have a really bad headache, it's amazing, but I need to drink more water. M2: Here's tip. I was about to say, drink more water. Just get one of those big Stanley cups, fill it with like ice water and just drink it all day. M1: I have this cup, like this is a large cup, but like I need like five of these a day and I drink like one. M2: I need to drink more water too, but I drink a lot more water than that. okay, my peach. I have a couple peaches, but I think this past weekend me and Mousel A did a beach day. We went to Musquamicate Beach in Westerle and Rhode Island. And I haven't been there since I was there with my friends in high school, I think. Although we went to maybe Watch Hill or something years ago as well. And it was really fun to get down there because I usually don't go to that beach. M1: Mouselato recently told me that she goes to the beach every weekend. M2: I go to many beaches all the time. I didn't say every weekend. Is that why you sent me that thing? I didn't say I go to the beach every weekend. M1: Interesting. You did. Yes. M2: I would never say that. M1: Okay. My peach is that I finally was able to use my pool this weekend. I've had a saga with getting my pool open, but I was finally able to use my pool. Yeah, we had a little we M2: Yeah, who you had a pool party? Also they told me to ask. Who? M1: had a little pool party. It was with two of my friends. Party is a loose term. It was with two of my friends. M2: What friends? M1: well I'm not gonna say their names on this podcast, but M2: Who are they? Describe them to me. M1: my two friends who live in New York. I have two friends pretty much that live in New York, and it was those two friends. M2: Does one of them have a husband? M1: Yep. Ha ha M2: Were you also at her country club today? So you M1: I was. M2: after the pool party you went to her country club? M1: She slipped over. M2: the pool party was yesterday. Well this it's we're recording on Sunday, everybody. I'm just trying to play catch up because Mouse One doesn't really keep me filled in on the deets. M1: I do. Anyways, I had a pool party this weekend. We were finally able to use the pool. We had a little barbecue after Mouse Lit Sea Grilled. It was such nice weather. It was so fun. M2: Let's wrap it up with a fact of the day. my deep dive this week was on the Epcot World Showcase. I feel like I've talked about this a lot, but I think one of the more interesting facts that I just watched, I just watched the entire Epcot TV opening special. It actually here's another fun fact. The World Showcase has like a song. Who knew? But it was like an hour plus. I genuinely couldn't even begin to, but if I remember next M1: Would you would you like to sing a little clip? M2: week I'll play it for you guys at the end. And anyway, in the opening segment, after they talked about China, they did entire thing that promised and said the Equatorial Africa pavilion. They said, in just one year, it's opening up and they walked through the whole pavilion. Equatorial Africa was supposed to highlight like variety of different African nations who would come together and create one pavilion, which was also the plan for the Scandinavian pavilion, which just became Norway eventually. And they were like, Yep, it's opening and they had a sign up and everything, and then it didn't happen. They also had a spine up. A sign up for Spain, and they also had a sign up for Israel. M1: Yes, good fun fact. Okay, M2: Thank you. M1: I was just telling Muscle too this. This is what I think I'm gonna do my next YouTube deep dive on. So a little preview. Every time that you go to a Disney website, you will notice that rather than going to Disney.com or DisneyWorld.com or something like that, you go to like Disney Bubba Blah dot go dot com. There's always a go in there, which might feel random, but it's not. The reason it's there is because back in the day Michael Eisner was trying to create a website called Go.com that would compete with like Yahoo and MSN, which were like big you know big at the time. And it did not work out and it failed entirely. But Disney's entire initial website infrastructure was built on Go.com. And because of the way that kind of like search engine optimization stuff works, they have to keep that go.com thing in their URL. So every Disney website is actually a go.com website. With then like sub websites under it. M2: Iconic. Who knew? Anyway, that is today's episode. keep an eye out for future brackets.
