  Hello and welcome everyone. This is the Dizpod live here on
• 0:25
  Tuesday, February 17th, 2026. I'm here with my park bro
• 0:31
  Lawrence. He's just not a friend man.
• 0:32
  He is a bro. Love this guy.
• 0:35
  If you didn't listen to our live stream on Saturdays, I had this
• 0:42
  whole like ode to Lawrence and I hope he had the Kleenex ready.
• 0:47
  I heard there were a lot of tears.
• 0:49
  But yeah, man, we, we established that you can send a
• 0:51
  Valentine to your bro. So if you haven't done that yet,
• 0:54
  you know, make sure you get ready to do that next year for
• 0:57
  sure. We are doing this live because
• 0:59
  we are doing it for all of you. And you can catch us anytime
• 1:03
  after the recording once it's uploaded and we upload to Apple,
• 1:07
  Amazon, iHeartRadio. And I never listened in front of
• 1:10
  me. So I always forget if I miss
• 1:12
  one, I missed one right there. Prime, Amazon, I said Apple, I
• 1:17
  think. Yeah, Apple.
• 1:18
  I heart, Amazon, all your major ones.
• 1:20
  You can check us out there as well.
• 1:22
  I saw that you uploaded pretty quickly last week to Spotify.
• 1:26
  Yeah, I was lucky, lucky enough to get that up to Spotify pretty
• 1:29
  quickly. Hopefully tonight's will will be
• 1:33
  live there on Thursday. So we try to get these out
• 1:37
  timely. Been trying to trying to get
• 1:39
  them out a lot more a lot quicker than I have been able to
• 1:44
  in the past so hopefully this one will be live on Thursday.
• 1:49
  If I can go Thursdays on audio I'll be happy.
• 1:54
  Yeah, for sure. I mean, there was a while we
• 1:56
  were so many podcasts behind and now that we're caught up is just
• 2:00
  it brings me great joy. It is Fat Tuesday and I did
• 2:06
  officially spend 1 Fat Tuesday in it.
• 2:10
  Not technically was I, yeah, I should remember this.
• 2:15
  I might have been in, in, in New Orleans for Fat Tuesday one
• 2:21
  time. If not, I was definitely in
• 2:23
  Louisiana for Fat Tuesday. So if anybody doesn't know,
• 2:26
  that's, that's a time where you get all fat, right?
• 2:29
  You just eat a bunch of food today because I think you're
• 2:32
  going to fast tomorrow or something like that.
• 2:34
  So. Yes, yeah.
• 2:36
  So tomorrow's Ash Wednesday, so typically we either fast or have
• 2:43
  no meat at bare minimum. So I don't know I'm practicing
• 2:50
  today. I haven't haven't eaten today.
• 2:52
  I. Haven't eaten today.
• 2:54
  That's about my normal routine. OK, OK, yeah, yeah, that's been
• 3:00
  my normal routine for about four or five weeks now.
• 3:03
  I do like that 24 hour fast from Wednesday night to Thursday
• 3:08
  night. I might move it though.
• 3:09
  I'm thinking about moving it. I think there's might, there
• 3:11
  might be another easy, easily manageable time and then I can
• 3:14
  eat at Disney on Wednesday nights, you know, 'cause that's
• 3:16
  why I haven't done anything. So there's so there's that.
• 3:20
  We will be celebrating some Mardi Gras this Saturdays at
• 3:24
  Universal. I'm very cool.
• 3:29
  Yeah, I need AI, need a, you know, I I'm always the king of
• 3:31
  naming things on the channel. A lot of things end with Dizz,
• 3:34
  but yeah, I just tell people skin sparkles, parade beads.
• 3:41
  That's what we'll be all about on Saturdays.
• 3:44
  It'll be fun, really. It's always a lot of fun to see
• 3:47
  what the costumes are like, to see how many, how many beads
• 3:51
  we'll catch. And the gimbal, I think the
• 3:53
  gimbal's caught 2 over the years.
• 3:55
  Like I'm just shooting and all of a sudden, boom, you know,
• 3:58
  somebody wraps one around the gimbal, which is kind of fun.
• 4:01
  Yeah. So we'll be doing that.
• 4:03
  It'll be a nice little break from Disney and take you all
• 4:05
  over to Universal Studios. And normally when we start that
• 4:08
  one, it's it's later in the day so that we can kind of enjoy the
• 4:10
  park a little bit and go live just before the parade is what
• 4:13
  we usually time it. So probably 43445 or so, we'll
• 4:18
  get started. But definitely make sure your
• 4:20
  notifications are on, go ahead and hit that notify button so
• 4:24
  that you're notified as soon as we hit that button.
• 4:25
  And when you do, we do, you can assure that we'll be in good
• 4:28
  position for the parade on Saturdays.
• 4:31
  So that'll be a lot of fun. Little announcement that came
• 4:35
  out of Universal today. Citywalk is opening up a massive
• 4:39
  new restaurant. Did you see that?
• 4:42
  I did not see that one. Yeah, it is actually.
• 4:46
  I wasn't really prepared to announce that, but we're kind of
• 4:49
  led into that and it was actually it's going to be
• 4:52
  called. I do have it right here and
• 4:57
  isn't that funny? Just as I say that Notification
• 4:59
  Park Pass TV live at Mardi Gras today, right now.
• 5:03
  Yeah, so everybody said to my right now.
• 5:05
  Check that out when when you're done.
• 5:07
  Yeah, we're getting there a little bit later.
• 5:08
  I think just things have been wacky on the channel.
• 5:10
  Like we've had Saturdays set up for certain things, which pushed
• 5:14
  my birthday stream way ahead. I'm never going to do that
• 5:17
  again. But yeah, and it pushed Mardi
• 5:20
  Gras. We we're usually there the first
• 5:22
  weekend, but it's Luke Combs Category 10 restaurant and
• 5:26
  apparently there's already one in existence.
• 5:29
  Oh. And the menu looks phenomenal,
• 5:33
  it really does. So Jacob was asking if we'd go
• 5:36
  check it out. What's on the menu?
• 5:39
  All right, yeah, I can. I can mention a little bit of
• 5:41
  what's on that menu. Let me just pull it up.
• 5:44
  So one thing we didn't understand was when you go on
• 5:47
  the website, it says explore menus by experience.
• 5:51
  So you can have the Hurricane Hall experience.
• 5:54
  You can have let me see that moved on me.
• 5:58
  The honky tonk experience, the still, the five leaf Clover
• 6:02
  sports beer never broke my heart bar, neon dream bar or the eye.
• 6:08
  So that sounds to me like it's going is it multiple levels?
• 6:12
  Do you get to do you get to choose your experience where
• 6:16
  it's a whole different atmosphere depending on what you
• 6:20
  choose? You know, So if I click on Honky
• 6:24
  Tonk, I don't know it, it shows the menu.
• 6:28
  So we'll have to learn more about that.
• 6:30
  But if you're looking at like starters, if anybody loves
• 6:34
  waffle fries, I think they specialize in waffle fries.
• 6:39
  Yeah. And they look good.
• 6:40
  Like they have Luke's waff chose.
• 6:43
  So it's like I let's see, it's waffle fries, cheddar and Jack
• 6:48
  cheese, queso Blanco with crispy bacon and green onions.
• 6:52
  They have fried Pickles. They have wild game meatballs,
• 6:57
  ground pork in venison country, brown gravy toasted in sourdough
• 7:01
  bread. What?
• 7:04
  Have you BBQ? Have you had venison?
• 7:07
  You know what I have, and I remember where I had it.
• 7:10
  I had it tailgating for an AFC championship game.
• 7:16
  It was the year that the Patriots actually beat the
• 7:17
  Seahawks, but it was the AFC championship game, which I think
• 7:20
  was against Peyton Manning. And I was tailgating with some
• 7:23
  guys and they're like, we, we had, dude, we had venison and
• 7:28
  lobster. That's how do you, you know,
• 7:30
  what better way to tailgate? Yeah, man, we, we up in
• 7:34
  Massachusetts know how to. Yeah.
• 7:35
  For football games, you know. Yeah, we, we, we had the spread.
• 7:40
  And I'll tell you what, it, it was some of the tastiest meat.
• 7:43
  You know, we're so used to cow, cow and stuff like that.
• 7:46
  But two things that have gotten my attention over time is
• 7:49
  venison and the bison burger. Oh yeah, on Disney property,
• 7:54
  Best burger I've ever had. So that's good stuff.
• 7:58
  Those alternate meats are good. So man, this BBQ spiced whole
• 8:02
  wings sounds good. But the wild game meatballs,
• 8:05
  that sounds like something that's worth a try.
• 8:07
  They have pepperoni rollers, which reminds me of like like
• 8:12
  the pepperoni. What do you call them that we
• 8:15
  have over there? Magic Kingdom.
• 8:16
  And now we have them in Toy Story Mania area.
• 8:19
  Yeah, it's like a spring roll, I think.
• 8:21
  Carolina Coast blue crab cakes. Does that mean anything to you
• 8:27
  being from Carolina? I didn't know what we really
• 8:30
  did, You know, crab cakes. I mean, you think I think crab
• 8:34
  cakes. I think Maryland.
• 8:36
  Same same duck fat fries, crispy waffle fries, duck fat parmesan
• 8:40
  and herb mix. There's a signature bread bowl.
• 8:44
  What do they put in that? It's like roasted corn chowder
• 8:47
  with carrots, potatoes, jalapenos, smoked bacon.
• 8:50
  It's a French bread bowl, different sorts of salads and
• 8:55
  you can do some add-ons, steak, salmon, chicken onto those.
• 8:59
  They even have handhelds. So with that, there's a
• 9:05
  bootlegger burger, which is 2 Angus beef patties, bacon,
• 9:09
  Miller Lite beer cheese. So you know, you, you know,
• 9:13
  you're saving some calories there on the beer cheese, Miller
• 9:16
  Lite crispy shallots and potato bun.
• 9:19
  There's an Asheville pulled pork sandwich.
• 9:21
  So this sounds like a Carolina based.
• 9:24
  Restaurant. I'm surprised you haven't heard
• 9:26
  of it. I have not.
• 9:27
  I'm going to have to look it up. Yeah, this pulled pork sandwich
• 9:30
  looks really good and it's served as super green slaw,
• 9:35
  potato bun, and you can add those waffle fries with it.
• 9:40
  So I think Jacob's really interested in that pulled pork
• 9:42
  sandwich. Smoky Mountain chicken sandwich,
• 9:45
  cold smoked salmon wrap, Carolina BBQ chicken flatbread.
• 9:49
  And then you can get into the entrees like a 10 oz New York
• 9:51
  strip with herb compound butter and your waffle fries.
• 9:59
  The way they present that one too is nice.
• 10:01
  It's like they did a side slice on the entire steak, which is is
• 10:07
  nice and presentable when you look at it.
• 10:08
  There's an arugula salad accompanied with that sweet heat
• 10:11
  chicken, Carolina smoked ribs, stir fried noodle bowl.
• 10:17
  So that's pretty much the savoury things.
• 10:21
  They have a classic root beer float mug.
• 10:24
  Root beer is the host of that one, so I wouldn't mind grabbing
• 10:29
  one of those and trying those. I'm a sucker for for those for
• 10:31
  sure. And then they have like a big
• 10:34
  assortment of alcohol and shots and draft beers, canned beers,
• 10:40
  wines. Sounds like a really cool place
• 10:43
  to check out. So we'll check it out.
• 10:46
  Would we do it live? Yes, we would if it's not too
• 10:51
  loud in there. Right.
• 10:53
  You know, we, we never do Hard, Hard Rock Cafe.
• 10:56
  We, we as a family love the Hard Rock Cafe.
• 10:58
  I think you do too, right? I mean, we've eaten together
• 11:01
  too. It's a place after we're done
• 11:02
  streaming, you know, we go eat there quite often and we do it
• 11:06
  because, and we don't take you all with us because it's just
• 11:09
  too loud. We, you would never hear us.
• 11:11
  And the copyrights are, would be off the chain with, you know,
• 11:15
  song after song after song. So we can't do it.
• 11:19
  And I imagine this is kind of kind of be the same atmosphere.
• 11:21
  It's probably going to be loud in there, yeah.
• 11:23
  So if we can do a vlog, we'll definitely try to blog it and
• 11:28
  and share that way. You mentioned copyright just
• 11:30
  now. It reminded me so Theme Park
• 11:33
  Giant hit 10K subscribers today. So congratulations to him.
• 11:38
  And he wanted to go back and read the chat where he had hit
• 11:42
  it. And he noticed that the stream
• 11:45
  was blocked for copyright and he said it was for a lightsaber.
• 11:51
  A lightsaber. Yeah.
• 11:53
  So I really want to know what this is, because that's that's
• 11:57
  really odd. Was it like a lightsaber sound?
• 12:01
  It was I that would be even harder.
• 12:04
  I mean you do it, he did Star Tours.
• 12:06
  I mean we all do it. We do Star Tours.
• 12:08
  Smugglers run Rise of the Resistance.
• 12:10
  How could the lightsaber sound be copy written to the point of
• 12:15
  blocking your stream? So yeah, I can't wait to find
• 12:20
  out what happened there. Yeah, Let me know what you find
• 12:22
  out. That would be really, really
• 12:24
  odd. So, I mean, and you notice,
• 12:30
  people may not notice this, but you might notice it now that
• 12:32
  when you watch people who really know how to sidestep the
• 12:37
  copyrights, the bloggers, right, Tim Tracker, Nate, when they
• 12:42
  show things, they only show it for a certain amount of seconds.
• 12:45
  Yeah, they might show a good portion of a parade, but you're
• 12:47
  getting it in like 8 second chunks or whatever.
• 12:52
  That's right. You can avoid the copyrights by
• 12:54
  doing that. Yeah.
• 12:58
  So let me remind everybody, if you're watching us today, you
• 13:01
  may be watching us in horizontal like your normal stream or you
• 13:05
  may be watching us in vertical or tall.
• 13:08
  We appreciate anybody watching whether you're watching on
• 13:10
  living in days or park grows vertical or horizontal, stay
• 13:15
  wherever you are comfortable. But most people will watch in
• 13:19
  the horizontal stream. So if you see us in the
• 13:21
  vertical, the tall one, come on over to the horizontal and watch
• 13:24
  us there. But you guys decide where where
• 13:27
  you want to watch wherever you are more comfortable.
• 13:31
  Thank you. And Gil next says nice bell
• 13:34
  shirt, but this is Tiana. Yeah.
• 13:39
  For that Tuesday. Nevertheless, is that a
• 13:41
  Catherine special? It is very nice.
• 13:44
  It is. Yeah.
• 13:46
  They actually. I saw it today on stream on
• 13:49
  Magic Adventures. They festival fantasy parade.
• 13:55
  Beauty and the Beast were out and Tiana and Naveen were
• 13:59
  leading the parade. Oh wow, how about that?
• 14:04
  Yeah, so I don't know if that happens every Fat Tuesday, but
• 14:09
  there it is. So Orange Grove 55 says he's new
• 14:13
  to our content. Loving it.
• 14:15
  Thank you very much I have certainly checked out your
• 14:18
  content as well. Maybe there's a collaboration in
• 14:23
  in in the future there. So we'll.
• 14:26
  We'll check. That's a That's a new name.
• 14:27
  I didn't notice that I didn't. Yeah, they've been on a Pete's
• 14:31
  show. OK.
• 14:33
  All right, Pete had him on last year.
• 14:35
  Thank you. OK, Orange Grove, thank you so
• 14:37
  much. I think that our channel is
• 14:39
  unique in many ways. The way we present Disney, the
• 14:44
  dynamics between my wife and my son and I, and the occasional
• 14:49
  appearance by my daughter, who hopefully will come around a
• 14:51
  little bit more now. But you know, her busy life, You
• 14:57
  never know when she's going to pop in.
• 14:59
  I mean, we were live, listen, we were live at 50s prime time.
• 15:05
  She Facetimed Tammy from epic. That little sucker was over at
• 15:10
  epic having having non, I think non alcoholic drinks over at the
• 15:15
  I forget what they call it. It's the It's like the Nintendo
• 15:21
  restaurant or. I.
• 15:23
  Don't know what it, I can't remember what.
• 15:25
  It is cafe. But she had like a yeah, she was
• 15:28
  there. She was holding up some yellow
• 15:30
  drink that Jacob told her to get.
• 15:31
  So she was having a good time over there.
• 15:33
  The stinker. But Epic, Epic is dead to me.
• 15:37
  Epic is dead to me until they offer AP.
• 15:42
  It's just so expensive to go. We talked about it again the
• 15:45
  other day and we, we, we drive the knife into the back a little
• 15:49
  bit deeper and twist. When we look at it, we're like,
• 15:51
  let's just look at it. You're on vacation in two weeks.
• 15:53
  OK, let's look. Oh God, it's going to be
• 15:55
  whatever, a few 100 bucks for the three of us to go.
• 15:58
  So could we do it? Yeah.
• 16:01
  But man, that's a lot for one day when you're a local.
• 16:04
  Well, you know what's funny is that I still have not been.
• 16:08
  Oh, I forget about that. Yeah, we have not been.
• 16:11
  And I thought we weren't going to get to go because it was
• 16:14
  going to be so busy that, you know, tickets are always going
• 16:18
  to be sold out and we just haven't gone because it's an
• 16:23
  expense, you know, and you got Disney there and normally when
• 16:25
  we go, it's a short 345 day trip.
• 16:29
  Can you take a full day out of, you know, out of Disney to go to
• 16:33
  Epic? Typically, no, but I do need to
• 16:36
  get there sometime soon. Maybe.
• 16:40
  You know, Speaking of that, I'll, I'll touch on this real
• 16:44
  quickly because we didn't, we didn't cover this.
• 16:47
  Last week. Disney reported their numbers
• 16:51
  for last year and park attendance was down 1%.
• 16:58
  What? Does that translate into?
• 17:00
  Does that translate into millions or 100 thousands or
• 17:05
  less? I would think it's 100,000
• 17:08
  somewhere in there. You know, it's, it's six
• 17:11
  figures, not seven. However, revenue at the parks
• 17:16
  was up so less. Now how do you?
• 17:19
  But they were spending more money.
• 17:21
  Now how do you figure that? Ticket prices are up.
• 17:25
  Food prices are up merch prices. Are so they're happy, so
• 17:28
  they're. And people are buying Premier
• 17:30
  Pass like it's going out of stall, so you know, so the.
• 17:36
  Kind of stuff that I wish would fail and it doesn't fail.
• 17:39
  It does not, does not. Disney can wave the magic wand
• 17:44
  and it doesn't matter. Now.
• 17:47
  Seriously people, you could just be like walking backward tax,
• 17:53
  we're going to charge you a dollar every time you take 2
• 17:56
  steps backwards and people would pay it.
• 17:58
  Oh OK, 2 bucks, I'll pay it. You know, you know breed air.
• 18:03
  We're going to we're going to charge you an extra 3 bucks a
• 18:06
  visit for air. OK, I'll pay it.
• 18:11
  Yeah, they are. They, they, you know, for all
• 18:15
  the people that talked about, you know, Epic is going to kill
• 18:18
  Disney, blah, blah, blah, didn't touch it. 1%, you're basically
• 18:23
  flat. Yeah, basically flat.
• 18:26
  And profits went up. And profits went up and revenue
• 18:29
  went up. So yeah.
• 18:31
  And it's hard. It's hard to figure out Epic.
• 18:35
  They are still capping their attendance on a daily basis.
• 18:40
  They're capping it. Maybe they're happy with it.
• 18:42
  And as long as they are, that's just going to keep annual passes
• 18:45
  away. Tokyo Disneyland does not have
• 18:48
  annual passes, you know. Did you know that?
• 18:50
  I did not and. We talked about that on the way
• 18:54
  to the park on Saturdays, and we wouldn't, matter of fact, none
• 18:58
  of these live streamers would be streaming as much as you all get
• 19:01
  to see if it was, you know, and the price is different in Tokyo
• 19:06
  Disney, it's like $70 a day. And we said, OK, would we do
• 19:09
  that? No, no, we wouldn't even do
• 19:11
  that. Once a week, $70.
• 19:15
  Yeah, a week attending. I mean, so if I'll ask you if
• 19:20
  and we're just, you know, we're freestyling here everybody hope
• 19:21
  you're, you're enjoying the conversations.
• 19:24
  We're hitting on a bunch of things before we get to our our
• 19:27
  loose topic tonight, but how often do you think you would go?
• 19:32
  It was $70 a day, no annual passes.
• 19:35
  I ask you and I ask me without thinking about it previously, 70
• 19:40
  bucks once a month, once a month maybe because you're talking if
• 19:49
  I'm paying for three people, it's that's 70 * 3.
• 19:53
  That's a $210.00, Yeah, for once a month.
• 19:56
  And that almost equals what we pay for annual passes.
• 20:00
  You know, people complained about the annual passes going
• 20:02
  up, but when you really think about it.
• 20:05
  It's so cheap still and you have to be thankful that Disney
• 20:11
  allows this because we pay 329 a month for four of us.
• 20:15
  I still pay for Jill's ticket. And and to put that into
• 20:19
  relative terms, Saturday we went if we didn't have any other pass
• 20:23
  and we went under normal under regular ticket conditions for
• 20:25
  Saturday roughly between parking and getting in for the three of
• 20:29
  us, I would say we're at $500. Yeah, because you're, you're at
• 20:34
  least, you know, 500 would be 166 * 3.
• 20:39
  You're you're at 184 typically for a single day ticket.
• 20:47
  And last weekend was a busy weekend.
• 20:50
  So with their dynamic pricing, I'm sure it would have been even
• 20:53
  higher than that. Yeah.
• 20:56
  Plus then you add in the the cost of parking discount merch,
• 21:03
  you know, Yeah, there's. We're happy to hand over $329 a
• 21:09
  month. If you as long as the annual
• 21:12
  passes prices go up at the same rate as the daily ticket prices,
• 21:19
  then it's always going to be equal, right?
• 21:24
  If they start to go up at a higher rate than the daily
• 21:29
  tickets then we have an issue, but it's always going to seem
• 21:32
  cheaper to to us. It's still about 9 days folks.
• 21:36
  If you're going to go to a park nine days a year, annual pass is
• 21:40
  worth it. Yeah, you have to run the
• 21:43
  numbers right? And Tammy can't understand it.
• 21:46
  She's baffled. But I don't know if you noticed
• 21:48
  this, but of all the complaining people did about how much they
• 21:52
  raised prices for annual passes, I think we pay $0.04 more.
• 21:56
  I even let you know. I even showed you.
• 21:58
  I'm like, is this right? Is this right?
• 22:01
  It really didn't change. Wow.
• 22:03
  Yeah. The Big Ben theory.
• 22:05
  Hello. How's it going?
• 22:06
  That's. That's Benny from Not So Scary
• 22:09
  Mary TV. He was on the chaotic clubhouse
• 22:12
  chat with Pete last week. I did not get to watch your your
• 22:16
  show. I was working.
• 22:17
  Fun, fun watch. It this week.
• 22:20
  So what do we have on? What do we have On topic?
• 22:22
  On topic. Tonight, this week, I thought I
• 22:24
  would pull a a topic that, you know, sometimes Corey and I just
• 22:29
  like to have some different conversations, right?
• 22:32
  We can go deep. We could have done a whole hour
• 22:35
  on the biz of divisions, right? Well.
• 22:38
  Which is a podcast I wouldn't mind doing.
• 22:40
  We should probably still keep that in the front of our minds.
• 22:43
  There's. Some podcast.
• 22:44
  I'd like to do, yeah, that's one of them.
• 22:46
  But we, you know, all, we'll have guests or something like
• 22:48
  that, but we also like to have a little bit of fun.
• 22:51
  So we thought this week we would do Myth Busters Disney World
• 22:55
  Edition. So we're going to talk about a
• 22:57
  lot of the myths that are out there for Disney World.
• 23:03
  And I'll tell you this, I'm in just about every Facebook Disney
• 23:07
  group that there is. And so I see a lot of this, I
• 23:12
  see a lot of these questions come up.
• 23:15
  And so I thought we'll do we'll do a whole episode tonight on
• 23:20
  busting some of these myths wide open.
• 23:23
  So I'll give you one. It wasn't even in in the the
• 23:27
  plan for today. But should you use a travel
• 23:30
  agent? Somebody said, this is my first
• 23:32
  trip to Disney with my family. Do I need to have a travel
• 23:39
  agent? If you're asking me, I would say
• 23:44
  if it's your first time, 100 percent, 100% you don't know
• 23:49
  what you're doing. You might even think you know
• 23:50
  what you're doing, but you don't know what you're doing.
• 23:52
  I had to learn at 1st and my sister-in-law had had experience
• 23:57
  back then and taught Tammy and I and I grasped every little bit
• 24:01
  of knowledge from her. And you know what, for a few
• 24:06
  years, from my recollection, I still used our travel agent, but
• 24:11
  I made life easier for her. And what I did was I did my
• 24:16
  research. I did all of that.
• 24:18
  I probably did more than I needed to do, but I found out
• 24:23
  about any, any promotions going on.
• 24:27
  I knew the parks I wanted to go to, the days I wanted to be
• 24:30
  there and what restaurant sit downs that I wanted to be at on
• 24:36
  certain days. So when I called her, I'm like,
• 24:38
  this is what I want, all of this blah, blah, blah.
• 24:40
  These days there are your specifics.
• 24:43
  Just organize it. Just do it.
• 24:44
  Take care of all that for me and then she took care of it for us.
• 24:47
  So you can do that or you can, right?
• 24:49
  You can simply just, you know, you can have tons of
• 24:52
  conversations with these great planners as well, right?
• 24:56
  So for me, I, I remember when I planned our first family trip in
• 25:02
  2020 for the four of us, I did it on my own.
• 25:06
  And I've always kind of been that way.
• 25:08
  Whenever we're going on vacation, I will, you know, I
• 25:12
  typically don't go to like Expedia or Priceline or
• 25:14
  something like that where you're doing a package.
• 25:16
  I'll normally try to find the cheapest rental car, the
• 25:20
  cheapest flight, the cheap, you know, and do it all separately.
• 25:25
  But here's the thing, a travel agent can do all of that for you
• 25:31
  and it doesn't cost you anything.
• 25:34
  And they have the knowledge, especially if it's your first
• 25:37
  trip, they have the, they have all the discounts in front of
• 25:41
  them. They have all the codes in front
• 25:43
  of them. And so there was a time when we
• 25:47
  used a travel agent couple years ago and she was able to get, she
• 25:56
  was able to get me a discount that I didn't even know about.
• 26:01
  And then she also was able to get us into the Harmony
• 26:06
  Barbershop. So that's where Finley had her
• 26:10
  first, her first haircut was at the Harmony Barbershop on Main
• 26:17
  Street. So you know they can they can do
• 26:21
  some some, some some Pixie dust sometimes or what tents it looks
• 26:27
  like Pixie dust, but really it's just them working behind the
• 26:30
  scenes really hard to get you what you what you deserve.
• 26:36
  So yes, if it's your first time, I would say you should
• 26:39
  definitely you should definitely use a travel agent.
• 26:44
  There's no question in my mind, first time after you get used to
• 26:47
  it, maybe you don't have to and maybe you enjoy the planning,
• 26:52
  but I I still would say reach out to a travel agent because
• 26:57
  sometimes they've got discounts that you can't see.
• 27:00
  Yeah, yeah. And if I were to plan a trip to
• 27:03
  Disneyland, I would probably pick the brain of a travel agent
• 27:08
  because it would be my first time.
• 27:09
  Right, Right. You know, and then, you know, we
• 27:12
  know people, you know, we know, we know Greg out there and who
• 27:15
  has a lot of experience. So with my experience here, I
• 27:19
  can bring very intelligent questions to him as to how to
• 27:24
  manage the park there, which for example, we had a conversation
• 27:28
  months ago where I said, what rides are long wait times
• 27:34
  throughout the day. But I know like after fireworks,
• 27:36
  if there's an hour to play with hour and a half, what do I wait
• 27:40
  on and pounce on later? You know, like we know from
• 27:43
  Magic Kingdom for us it's a good chance that haunted is is
• 27:48
  lightened up quite a bit. Definitely pirates is is what
• 27:53
  really comes to mind quickly, right?
• 27:55
  Yeah. So there's there's certain ones
• 27:57
  you know, you can wait on. Tiana's has really become that
• 28:00
  which is pretty much a walk on. Yeah.
• 28:02
  By the end of the night. We'll see how if that changes in
• 28:04
  the summer. But still probably wouldn't be
• 28:07
  more than 20 minutes, 25 Max with a few minutes to go before
• 28:11
  park close. So that's a good segue into into
• 28:15
  the next myth. You can't do Disney without
• 28:18
  Lightning Lane. You can't do Disney without
• 28:23
  lightning lane. That is totally false.
• 28:25
  If you have the experience you can definitely navigate the
• 28:28
  park. That's a nice Segway because,
• 28:33
  you know, could I do better? Like here's a challenge, right?
• 28:36
  If someone went in with Lightning Lanes on a Saturday
• 28:39
  rope drop and I went in too, it's kind of a fun little
• 28:42
  challenge. Like, can you get on more rides
• 28:45
  than me today? Sounds like that's brewing.
• 28:49
  Park Bros has the lightning lane.
• 28:51
  Corey has you know the, you know the and I, I would have a
• 28:57
  strategy. I I think that it would be
• 28:59
  feasible to come really close or beat someone that has lightning
• 29:03
  lanes as opposed to something that doesn't.
• 29:06
  Well, you because you probably saw the wheels turning and it
• 29:09
  was it was the the DSN multi view.
• 29:12
  Like you know, that's going to be one of the streamer games is
• 29:16
  one has lightning lane and one doesn't.
• 29:18
  Maybe somebody's got the premier pass one, you know, well, the
• 29:21
  premiere pass is a little bit different, so let's talk about
• 29:24
  that. So you have the single, the
• 29:26
  single rider, the the single lightning lane, right for
• 29:31
  guardians Tron? And why am I forgetting the
• 29:41
  other one Ryze? OK.
• 29:45
  How much different is the price between Premier and regular?
• 29:51
  Or is that not even a thing you could compare because premium
• 29:54
  packs everything in every available, right?
• 29:56
  Lightning Lane is all individual, right?
• 29:58
  Yeah. So I had the pleasure of trying
• 30:01
  Premier and if you want to see, if you want to see how Premier
• 30:10
  worked out for myself and Greg took me along.
• 30:15
  We did it at Epcot. There's a vlog in there if you
• 30:17
  all wanna check it out under videos.
• 30:21
  That was our challenge. Could we do everything in one
• 30:24
  day at Epcot under Premium? What I learned about Premium is
• 30:27
  you can do anything you want when you wanna do it.
• 30:30
  Yeah. And we talked about that.
• 30:32
  How do you wanna do it? And at first I was like, let's
• 30:35
  do it like it should be done. Let's just start a spaceship
• 30:39
  Earth and we'll make a circle. We'll just, we'll just do it all
• 30:42
  in a row. But things happen, rides go
• 30:45
  down, things like that. So Premier, I would say so is
• 30:54
  your question, if I am I answering your your question if
• 30:56
  I say Premier, no, you could still challenge Premier.
• 31:01
  I think there's a shot that you could still get everything done,
• 31:05
  even against Premier. I was going to go the other way,
• 31:07
  but I'd go with that. What say you?
• 31:09
  And you would have saved more than $200, yes, per person.
• 31:13
  So that's the other thing, you know, is it is it worth it?
• 31:16
  Right. Like there's so many people that
• 31:19
  I see, you know, should I get Lightning Lane for Beauty and
• 31:24
  the Beast? No, don't don't know.
• 31:29
  Do not get a lightning lane for Beauty and the Beast.
• 31:32
  Do not get one for Frozen. But there's so many people that
• 31:35
  don't understand that there are ways to do and listen.
• 31:39
  Both of those shows I just named, you do not need a
• 31:42
  lightning lane for walk up as the show starts.
• 31:45
  You're going to get a seat. Just don't do it, I promise you.
• 31:50
  But the premieres a little bit different because as Corey said,
• 31:55
  you get every ride, one one of every ride and you just scan
• 32:00
  when you want to. However you want to do the park,
• 32:03
  you want to go in a big circle like you mentioned, you can do
• 32:05
  that. You want to split it up and go
• 32:08
  backwards, do whatever you know floats your boat.
• 32:11
  But Lightning Lane, the lightning lane multi pass is a
• 32:16
  little bit different and that you've got a book, you get 3 in
• 32:19
  advance and then when you use one, you can book another one
• 32:22
  and but you're at the mercy of what is available at that time.
• 32:26
  And you really can get into some, you know, some feelings
• 32:32
  because this isn't available. That's not available.
• 32:34
  I don't want to do Haunted Mansion.
• 32:36
  I want to do it later. And if you work the park as a
• 32:40
  pro, you really don't need Lightning Lane since Lightning
• 32:45
  Lane has come out, like I use Genie Plus once or twice.
• 32:48
  I think since Lightning Lane has come out, I've used Lightning
• 32:52
  Lane once and Corey's done the premiere pass once and that's
• 32:56
  it. And every stream that he's done
• 32:58
  or I've done, we've got you guys on some rides, right?
• 33:03
  You've seen Storm multiple times.
• 33:05
  You've seen Ratatouille, you've seen rise of the resistance
• 33:10
  almost every time we're one of us is at Hollywood, you're going
• 33:14
  to see rise of the resistance. Now we do use single rider a lot
• 33:20
  of times, but I've also done Ryze with my family and just
• 33:25
  walked right on go when the first show of Fantasmic is
• 33:28
  running and there's no line. There's ways to do these parks
• 33:32
  folks, I'm telling you. We have the cheat codes.
• 33:38
  So just just think about that and you folks in chat can tell
• 33:41
  us you know your thoughts as well.
• 33:43
  You can add add to the conversation if you're watching
• 33:46
  after the fact to add to the comments as well.
• 33:48
  All right, the next one is the myth is park hopping is always
• 33:53
  worth it 100% of the time you should park hop and I'm assuming
• 33:59
  this is if you are a day ticket holder.
• 34:05
  A day ticket holder. OK.
• 34:06
  OK. Is it worth it?
• 34:07
  No. It it's you know what?
• 34:08
  It's on the individual. It's all in what you want to do.
• 34:12
  You know, we have superfan J Dubs who's probably not here
• 34:16
  right now, but she'll listen later maybe or something.
• 34:18
  That's all she does when she comes to the parks.
• 34:22
  It's all about park hopping for her and that's what makes her
• 34:24
  happy. It's like, Nope, I go to Epcot
• 34:26
  for Guardians and then I go to, you know, Magic for this and
• 34:31
  Hollywood for that and, and that makes her day.
• 34:37
  So for us, we're more of a once you get at 1 park, you stay at
• 34:41
  that park. A lot of times there has to be a
• 34:43
  reason for us to jump. And it's, oh, this park's
• 34:46
  closing early, so we'll jump to another one, right?
• 34:49
  There has to be a specific purpose for us.
• 34:51
  Yeah. So what do you think?
• 34:54
  I am 100% behind that. The first couple times we went
• 35:00
  we didn't park. I don't think we park hopped
• 35:01
  until we became manual pass holders, right?
• 35:04
  I didn't want to spend the extra money to park hop.
• 35:07
  Why? Because if you don't know,
• 35:12
  Disney World does not like Disneyland.
• 35:15
  Disneyland, you leave the front gate of 1, you turn to the it's
• 35:17
  very much like City Walk and your other park is there.
• 35:21
  Fine. Disney World does not like that.
• 35:23
  You taking transportation, you're moving, you're getting
• 35:26
  back to your car, wherever that is.
• 35:28
  Especially if you're at TTC. That could be, what, another 20
• 35:32
  minutes? Yeah, park hopping to magic is
• 35:34
  the worst scenario. Yeah, yeah.
• 35:37
  You know, maybe Hollywood to Epcot's probably the easiest or
• 35:41
  the closest. You have a bunch of different
• 35:43
  ways to do it. Absolutely.
• 35:44
  But no, I would say do not park hop and people ask you know,
• 35:50
  it's our first time they are should we park hop and I'll ask
• 35:55
  how many times, how many days are you going for?
• 35:58
  And if they say more than 5 days?
• 36:01
  Absolutely not. Don't even think about park
• 36:03
  hopping. There's no point to it.
• 36:05
  No point. Soak it up, soak it up even for
• 36:07
  Disneyland, for Disneyland, when we ever do get over there, if if
• 36:12
  you had three days to spend there, I would want a full day
• 36:15
  in both parks and then let me hop and pick and choose my
• 36:18
  favorite things to do. Right, right.
• 36:21
  Yeah, 100%. If it's your first time, don't
• 36:24
  even think about park hopping. Now if you want to do the full
• 36:27
  park challenge, that's a different story.
• 36:30
  That's different. That's different.
• 36:31
  And animal Kingdom for sure is that that's a hop kind of day
• 36:37
  automatically. You know, if if you don't want
• 36:39
  your day to end at 7:00 or 8:00, you're looking to go somewhere.
• 36:43
  Well, especially right now you rope drop animal Kingdom.
• 36:47
  It is 1/2 day park right now. Even if you go in all the
• 36:52
  tracks, you look at the gorilla falls, you go back to Rafiki's
• 36:55
  planet watch right now it's 1/2 day park with with no Dino.
• 37:00
  It's it's a little, it's a little tough.
• 37:04
  Yeah. And to circle back about the 1%
• 37:08
  loss in attendance, a lot of that probably comes from Animal
• 37:12
  Kingdom. And then they're going to make
• 37:15
  that back. Oh, yeah.
• 37:16
  When, when this happens, imagine how crazy Animal Kingdom is
• 37:20
  going to be when these new attractions on, on, on or
• 37:24
  unveil, you know, it's going to be nuts.
• 37:28
  I mean, lines for Indiana Jones are going to be quite long.
• 37:34
  The Encanto area will be huge. So and I think this is getting
• 37:41
  ahead of ourselves but animal Kingdom needs to stay open till
• 37:43
  like 9 at that. So I said this earlier, we were
• 37:50
  talking about Animal Kingdom because that's going to be there
• 37:54
  tomorrow. So we were talking about Animal
• 37:56
  Kingdom and right now it is certainly 1/2 day park.
• 38:01
  But you think about what's coming.
• 38:02
  The Encanto ride, which we don't even have a name for.
• 38:08
  Fingers crossed. We're going to get a lot of
• 38:09
  information at D-23 in August. The new Indiana Jones ride.
• 38:15
  You have the carousel that's going to be in tropical
• 38:18
  Americas, the whole tropical Americas itself.
• 38:21
  I want you to think about the look of the Encanto movie and
• 38:26
  how the colors are. Yeah, it's going to be great
• 38:30
  during the day, but how nice is that going to look at night?
• 38:35
  That park needs to stay open till 9:00 between between there
• 38:40
  and you just are spending all this money redoing the
• 38:43
  bioluminescence in in Pandora. Can you give me a couple extra
• 38:49
  hours to actually see it? Yeah, it's like an asset that
• 38:53
  boggles my mind, like they should never close at 6:00
• 38:57
  because people are coming here. Yeah, Pandora is beautiful in
• 39:03
  the daytime, but it really shines at night, no pun
• 39:07
  intended. You need to see it at night.
• 39:10
  I mean, you're showing you're show.
• 39:12
  It's like you're showing us the trailers, but you're not showing
• 39:14
  us the feature film. I think I've seen it at night
• 39:17
  twice, because if you go in the winter, you get it, you know,
• 39:22
  just right. But give me some more.
• 39:25
  OK, Maybe the safaris closed. We got we get that the gorilla
• 39:29
  falls. OK, fine.
• 39:30
  Rafiki's planet Watch. OK, But Everest, Everest is nice
• 39:37
  at night, Pandora's great at night.
• 39:40
  And now you're going to have tropical America's I, I think
• 39:43
  that's a 9:00 bar. I think that's what we're going
• 39:45
  to get next year. And by the way, they're saying
• 39:48
  next year. They're saying next year.
• 39:53
  Before we went live, I just looked at some overhead shots.
• 39:55
  I don't know if you've seen the recent overhead shots, but they
• 39:57
  have the the circle laid out for the carousel.
• 40:01
  The dinosaur in front of dinosaur is gone.
• 40:04
  It's all dirt. It's all dirt already.
• 40:07
  They are wasting no. Time.
• 40:10
  No time. No time.
• 40:12
  And one thing I wanted to go ahead.
• 40:15
  I was going to say in the house for the Encanto ride is coming
• 40:18
  along really well. They're already on the second
• 40:21
  story of that. So much fun to see this all
• 40:24
  develop, right. I mean, I was just thinking the
• 40:26
  other day we were in in Hollywood and as a family we've
• 40:30
  opened many attractions. Right now we're closing a lot of
• 40:34
  attractions together, you know, and we'll be right there in two
• 40:37
  weeks closing Rock'n'roll a coaster together for ourselves.
• 40:40
  We don't, we're not ones to really go on the day of the
• 40:44
  closing because two reasons. It's crazy and it's not on a
• 40:48
  Saturday. It was a Saturday, we'd be
• 40:49
  there, but we choose to close it out the day before.
• 40:53
  A little less craziness and we say our own goodbye with our
• 40:57
  community. So that's good enough for us.
• 40:59
  But yeah, we've been closing out a lot of things.
• 41:01
  Yeah, we've opened up a lot of things in our in our history.
• 41:04
  The first, the first vlog ever on this channel, first time we
• 41:08
  ever hit record was opening day of Toy Story Mania.
• 41:14
  So. What a way to start.
• 41:16
  Yeah, and we hung out. We hung out with Brandon from
• 41:20
  Mickey Views. We took him under our wings like
• 41:21
  our own little son. That was kind of fun.
• 41:23
  We spent the day with him, so that was kind of neat and he
• 41:28
  does great stuff, especially with these updates.
• 41:29
  He dropped a video the other day.
• 41:31
  I haven't checked it out. Maybe not.
• 41:32
  Maybe it was a short and I think it was like of the overhead
• 41:35
  stuff. I could be wrong over there at
• 41:37
  Tropical Americas, but I'm excited for it.
• 41:39
  Jacob and I were talking about it.
• 41:41
  You know, there's just a lot of people.
• 41:42
  We make Disney memories, we hang on to memories.
• 41:45
  There's a lot of things that I'm willing to let go of and just
• 41:49
  keep the memories for just turning over a new attractions.
• 41:54
  We as a Jill really loved it. She had a hard time getting over
• 41:59
  dinosaur. She called me the next day still
• 42:01
  in tears like that. I'm still, you know, upset about
• 42:03
  dinosaur. So we all have our attachments.
• 42:06
  We all have our loves. But I'm I'm more excited to see
• 42:08
  what what Indiana Jones brings this so excited for it.
• 42:12
  You know, I was willing to get I didn't love dinosaur.
• 42:14
  I liked it. Yeah.
• 42:15
  But there are there are many people that loved it.
• 42:17
  So we all have different opinions.
• 42:19
  And I say they're who who are bigger.
• 42:22
  There's many that are as equal, but who are bigger Muppet lovers
• 42:26
  than you and I. Who was the biggest banger of
• 42:29
  the drum? That we need a new Muppets 3D.
• 42:31
  We need to refresh this thing. I mean, they knocked it down,
• 42:35
  but I wasn't asking for that. But I was.
• 42:38
  I was ready for something. Yeah.
• 42:40
  And maybe they'll come back and give us something new with that.
• 42:44
  So. Oh, one thing I wanted to bring
• 42:48
  up, if you hadn't seen it. Oh, we and I talked about it
• 42:51
  quickly and I think everybody should know, I think we're in
• 42:55
  for a great run with Josh tomorrow because even over the
• 43:01
  last few days, he has given us a different look, different
• 43:05
  perspective of what we might see in the future, right?
• 43:11
  And today I'm going to paraphrase, or was it yesterday?
• 43:15
  It was yesterday, right where news came down that villains
• 43:18
  land will likely be delayed because he's not so happy about
• 43:25
  the entire plans. He wants this to be better and
• 43:29
  it's kind of giving given full authority to the Imagineers.
• 43:34
  Go create what you think will make this great.
• 43:39
  And expense is the last thing on my mind.
• 43:42
  What we know that didn't happen under I mean, I think Eiger
• 43:50
  cares more about the product than the cost, but cost is still
• 43:55
  quite a factor. I mean, it is a business.
• 43:57
  I know Josh cares about my the cost too, but I think past CE OS
• 44:04
  were more about the product than the cost, right?
• 44:08
  I'm going blank on your buddy's face.
• 44:13
  Not my buddy who who really got who started Hollywood Studios.
• 44:22
  No Eisner. Yes, Eisner.
• 44:25
  He knows Eiger and Eisner and this Bob and that.
• 44:28
  It's easy to get confused. And then Bob and Josh have the
• 44:31
  same birthday. That's crazy like, but I know
• 44:36
  from I know from Imagineers or Imagineer even that I knew that
• 44:41
  JPEC was the bottom line dollar. How can we cut costs?
• 44:45
  And that's not how you do Disney.
• 44:48
  It's not how you do it. And, and I'll say this last
• 44:51
  thing about Josh. Josh wants people to love
• 44:54
  attractions. Did you see that?
• 44:56
  He talked about Mando, He talked about Smugglers Run the other
• 44:59
  day. He said, people I've I've been
• 45:02
  in the parks, I talk to people. People like Smugglers Run.
• 45:05
  They don't love it. I want people to love every
• 45:08
  attraction and make memories. And what happens, we attach
• 45:12
  those memories, right? And then that attraction becomes
• 45:15
  special to us because of who we were with that day.
• 45:18
  We were kids. It was the first time I took my
• 45:21
  mom. Whatever it is, you attach and
• 45:23
  you love that ride. So he feels like Smugglers Run
• 45:26
  is not loved. So I think we're going to get
• 45:29
  multiple versions over and over again.
• 45:32
  And I think maybe he stops when the reviews come out where
• 45:36
  people love this one. If people love Mando, then OK,
• 45:41
  it's it's probably going to be there for a good a good run.
• 45:45
  He wants people to love things. So just want to mention those
• 45:48
  few things about Josh. I think we're in for some great,
• 45:50
  great stuff coming up. And I'll say this about movies.
• 45:56
  I think they're pulling back on Secret Wars a little bit and
• 45:59
  want to sink more money into it because they want this to be
• 46:02
  right. I think that the direction that
• 46:05
  script was going in, they're putting the brakes on it now and
• 46:07
  saying no, we need this to be it needs to rival End game and
• 46:11
  things like that. So I do want to caution folks
• 46:16
  not to think that hearing villains is scrapped because
• 46:24
  that's how some people were putting it out there.
• 46:26
  We all we. Which is wrong.
• 46:27
  It's not scrapped. Yeah, we all know my favorite
• 46:31
  click bait junk that's out there.
• 46:37
  So what? It's not scrapped.
• 46:38
  It is still moving forward. Here's the deal.
• 46:40
  Here's what I believe. Just my belief.
• 46:43
  I believe that when he says this, he doesn't mean I need you
• 46:48
  now to think of three more attractions to go in with the
• 46:51
  two that we were going to do. I don't think we're going to get
• 46:54
  that much more. I think we're going to get
• 46:58
  everything that we're getting plused up, right.
• 47:02
  It's going. To be better.
• 47:04
  The immersion, it's going to be about how to make it better.
• 47:08
  Think about walking into Universal and going into Harry
• 47:13
  Potter areas, right? You feel like you're Diagon
• 47:17
  Alley. You feel like you're the.
• 47:19
  I think that's what he wants. I think before that we were just
• 47:23
  going to get there. It is.
• 47:25
  I think now it's going to get I feel like I am here.
• 47:29
  That's my. Guess right, right When you say
• 47:32
  that, for some reason my brain goes to fantasyland.
• 47:36
  Yep, doesn't wow you. It doesn't wow you.
• 47:39
  Like Diagon Alley, Like Diagon Alley, you are in immersed.
• 47:45
  And maybe it has a little to do with, you know, we've seen
• 47:48
  Diagon Alley in the movies. You really haven't.
• 47:51
  You can't you, you can't do it with Fantasyland, you know, like
• 47:54
  that. Like you're not immersed.
• 47:56
  You don't feel immersed. I mean, when you get into the
• 47:59
  queue of mine train, you're you're immersed.
• 48:02
  But I'm wondering about fantasyland.
• 48:04
  You're not right. You leave there and maybe take a
• 48:06
  right and or, or poo is right there.
• 48:09
  OK, there's poo. It's more of like I'm in, I'm
• 48:12
  just in in a park with some great attractions.
• 48:16
  I'm not immersed in a fantasy land, right.
• 48:19
  It doesn't feel like so much like a land like a Diagon Alley
• 48:22
  does or like villains might, might feel.
• 48:26
  Or when you go over to our little cars land, when that
• 48:28
  opens, you're going to it. This is it.
• 48:31
  I'm in the land. You know, Tomorrowland, though,
• 48:33
  is immersive. I'm in Tomorrowland, you know,
• 48:35
  So yeah, fantasyland's a little funny that way.
• 48:37
  But yeah, I like that idea. You want to feel like whoa.
• 48:40
  It needs to be a jaw-dropping moment when you. 100 percent,
• 48:45
  100%, and I think that's what we're going to get going
• 48:48
  forward. I think Monsters hopefully will
• 48:52
  feel that way. I worry that it's not as closed
• 48:55
  off to the rest of Hollywood studios as, say, Villains.
• 48:59
  Feels like it's going to be closed off so it you can make
• 49:03
  people think about Diagon Alley. Yeah, special entrance, right?
• 49:08
  Special entrance, you are closed off to the rest of the park.
• 49:11
  And so I think you're going to get that with villains.
• 49:13
  I don't know that you're going to get that with monsters
• 49:15
  because that Grand Ave. entrance is kind of open unless they
• 49:19
  change it enough to where it does start to close it off a
• 49:22
  little. But I don't know that you can.
• 49:25
  You're going to that. That monster's coaster is going
• 49:27
  to be big. You are going to need a wide
• 49:29
  open space to get people back there.
• 49:32
  So I think it's going to feel some.
• 49:35
  I think it's going to feel better than Muppets did.
• 49:38
  Muppets, when you walk through that wall, I don't think you
• 49:40
  really felt like I'm in Muppets land, right?
• 49:44
  Yeah, good point. No, no.
• 49:46
  It was like, there's Muppet Theater, you know, and there's,
• 49:49
  there's Rizzo's restaurant, but I don't feel like I was immersed
• 49:53
  in like, you know, a Muppet land, like you said.
• 49:56
  Yeah. Imagine what they could have
• 49:59
  done if they really tried to make you feel like you you were
• 50:03
  in a Muppet land where most that you're you're you're integrated
• 50:07
  amongst The Muppets. You know, I don't know how they
• 50:09
  would do it, but yeah, you're right, he says.
• 50:14
  I bought a portal. Yeah.
• 50:16
  Portal. Yeah.
• 50:17
  You got to feel like you've left Magic Kingdom and and you're
• 50:22
  there. How do you know?
• 50:25
  I mean, imagineers can do everything, anything, right?
• 50:27
  Imagine if, imagine if they could pull it off where it was
• 50:31
  like never sunny. I don't.
• 50:34
  You'd have to. You'd have to really invent.
• 50:36
  It's like Walt would come into those rooms.
• 50:37
  Like I wanted to be cloudy with purple clouds, with lightning
• 50:42
  all the time, all the time. Now there's a way to do it.
• 50:48
  Is there because think about it, it should never be sunny in
• 50:53
  villains land. It's evil, it's evil.
• 50:56
  It should never be sunny in villains land.
• 50:58
  So. What if what if that's what if
• 51:00
  that was the plus thing up that he that he was like Nope, figure
• 51:04
  it out. Got to happen.
• 51:05
  Yeah, you got to act like Walt sometimes.
• 51:08
  Just go in, give it a shot anyway, right?
• 51:11
  Pound the table like I want clouds purple.
• 51:14
  So I think about Vegas and a lot of the indoor areas there, the
• 51:23
  mall you have, you know, overhead you got they, they try
• 51:27
  to make it look like you're outside.
• 51:31
  So it's an indoor closed mall, but you have out, you have
• 51:34
  overhead, you know, screens and all that could be done.
• 51:38
  You have the sphere out in, in Vegas that can do anything.
• 51:42
  It can be done. So, but it's all about the
• 51:45
  money. And that's the difference
• 51:46
  between our parks and the international parks.
• 51:49
  And the international parks don't put money 1st.
• 51:52
  And these parks here tend to have done that.
• 51:55
  And that's why we get hey, that's cool.
• 51:58
  Not OMGI think with villains. Now we're going to get OMG.
• 52:05
  Yeah, it's exciting. I'm willing to wait.
• 52:07
  I'm willing. I'm.
• 52:08
  Willing to wait if we're going to get something better.
• 52:10
  I'm willing, and you're giving me Tropical America's next year,
• 52:13
  you're giving me cars maybe the year after that so I can wait on
• 52:17
  villains if it really does what it's supposed to do.
• 52:21
  Yeah, in that sense, it'll come faster than we realize because
• 52:24
  we'll be preoccupied with the other things. 100%, All right.
• 52:29
  So we're talking about a lot of new rides and what's going to
• 52:33
  come along with those new rides and new attractions.
• 52:35
  It's going to be long lines. Here's another myth.
• 52:39
  Long lines equals the best rides.
• 52:46
  I think you have to say no about that.
• 52:48
  I mean, I won't take the one that you said.
• 52:50
  So I guess I have to think of something else.
• 52:53
  A long line, man. What is what else is long?
• 53:00
  That you know where I'm coming from, Buzz.
• 53:04
  Buzz is long. All day long.
• 53:06
  Yeah. Not the best ride, not the best
• 53:08
  ride, not even close. Everybody has their own opinion.
• 53:11
  But yeah, to to bust that myth. No, just because a line is is
• 53:16
  long, I'll let you take your piece so I don't steal it.
• 53:20
  But that's a great point on that attraction.
• 53:22
  There's reasons why there's a long line and it's not it's it's
• 53:25
  a good attraction. We all love it, so go ahead.
• 53:28
  And and and it's actually almost the same issue with both rides.
• 53:32
  The ride you just mentioned, Buzz Lightyear at which is, hey,
• 53:36
  it's about to reopen. It's.
• 53:38
  I'm excited. Worse.
• 53:40
  Yeah. But the lines are going to get
• 53:41
  worse. But we are both of both.
• 53:44
  Corey and I are very excited about that ride.
• 53:46
  We might be able to score more than 100 points.
• 53:49
  So the the ride that I had mentioned was Peter Pan's
• 53:54
  Flight. That ride is not new.
• 53:58
  That ride, there is nothing groundbreaking about it today.
• 54:02
  Was it groundbreaking when it first opened?
• 54:04
  Absolutely. Absolutely.
• 54:06
  But in today's world where you have rides like Tron and Flight
• 54:10
  A Passage and so on, and it's not groundbreaking yet, that
• 54:14
  thing is typically the second at least in the top three longest
• 54:21
  wait times in the park every day.
• 54:24
  Doesn't matter what day it is. Now, why is that?
• 54:28
  Because it's not Pirates. Pirates is a people leader,
• 54:33
  right? Pirates, even though it doesn't
• 54:35
  move, you've got the two. You know, it's not a continuous
• 54:40
  belt like Buzz and Peter Pan and People Mover.
• 54:45
  It eats people. You got the two loading docks.
• 54:48
  Yeah, I think 1:00 boat is like 24 people or something.
• 54:50
  It could probably be. A ton of people, I forget the
• 54:53
  number, I don't know, 3000 people an hour, some ridiculous
• 54:56
  number. And Peter Pan and Buzz are not
• 55:00
  up to that levels because it's two people per two people, you
• 55:04
  know? So it's a slower moving process.
• 55:08
  So yeah, the longer wait doesn't mean the best ride for the most.
• 55:13
  Roderick has it. Does but.
• 55:16
  Roderick had a good point in chat.
• 55:18
  You know, People Mover is one of the greatest rides in a lot of
• 55:21
  people's opinions. And you don't wait very long for
• 55:23
  People Mover, even on the busiest days.
• 55:26
  They're just keep flowing. Yep, and and people mover is 1
• 55:31
  where you can signal to them and they're like, yeah, go ahead,
• 55:34
  you can go again. You know, how many rides can you
• 55:36
  do that on? So here's another myth.
• 55:40
  Myth Corey and I did a whole episode on this.
• 55:44
  Is that season 1? Season 2?
• 55:48
  It was early on is either season one or two, I can't remember.
• 55:53
  But myth #4 rain ruins your Disney day.
• 55:57
  That was a fun podcast. If if you missed it, go back and
• 56:01
  listen. We we basically taught you how
• 56:04
  to make a full day an enjoyable day even if it rained from start
• 56:10
  to finish at Magic Magic Kingdom only.
• 56:13
  Was it all done? No, I think.
• 56:14
  We did talked on all parts. Right.
• 56:15
  Yeah, Yeah, we did. And let me say this, you know,
• 56:21
  there are people again in the Facebook groups that they'll be
• 56:27
  looking today's February 17th, They'll have a trip planned for
• 56:31
  like March 6th. And they're like, hey, the
• 56:34
  weather says that it's a 95% chance of rain the three days
• 56:39
  that I'm there. Should I cancel my trip?
• 56:43
  Should you cancel your trip? That's the only time you can go
• 56:48
  this year. You're going to cancel your trip
• 56:50
  because the weather app says it might rain?
• 56:53
  Look, they told me. It might rain every day in
• 56:55
  Florida. It might, but it also might be
• 56:59
  clear and sunny, right? They told me I was going to get
• 57:02
  12 inches of snow two weeks ago and I there was nothing.
• 57:08
  So don't book your whole life around the weather.
• 57:14
  There are ways to do that. Park, get a poncho, get an
• 57:17
  umbrella, however you're comfortable.
• 57:19
  Make sure you got good rain shoes or waterproof sneakers or
• 57:24
  sandals or whatever you wear. Have an extra pair of socks.
• 57:29
  And take advantage of the fact that the park is going to be
• 57:32
  quiet. And you'll be able to do all
• 57:35
  those rides without buying Lightning Lane because it will
• 57:38
  be so quiet that day. Yeah, negative weather is always
• 57:42
  the way to go. And I categorize it as negative
• 57:47
  weather because what did we do when we were freezing our butts
• 57:50
  off, freezing our noses and our chins off two or three weeks ago
• 57:53
  at Magic Kingdom? Magic Kingdom when we get in
• 57:56
  there about 9:30 at night on a Saturday, it looked like Magic
• 57:59
  Kingdom does an hour after close.
• 58:01
  Yeah. And what do we do?
• 58:05
  Let's go on everything we can go on because the park is open.
• 58:09
  We almost got our own Jungle Cruise boat.
• 58:12
  That's right. They made us wait for others.
• 58:14
  We we had the run of the park, whatever we wanted to do pretty
• 58:18
  much. But yeah.
• 58:21
  And with the rain, I'd say the most common comment for locals
• 58:25
  and for maybe some others that are visiting when it's raining
• 58:29
  and you start seeing people leave, you're like, that's this
• 58:32
  is great. You know, parks going to open up
• 58:35
  now. Keep keep leaving everyone
• 58:36
  because we're staying. So, yeah, rain should never stop
• 58:41
  anybody in it. Like you touched on, it's what
• 58:43
  we do. You be prepared with shoes,
• 58:46
  footwear, that you're prepared to get wet and it's not going to
• 58:49
  make you miserable. My kids always love to walk
• 58:51
  around in wet shoes. Never won sandals.
• 58:54
  I don't get it. It's gross to walk around in
• 58:57
  that, you know, the soggy socks. But Jacob does.
• 59:00
  Jacob does it so you know, good footwear, an umbrella or a
• 59:05
  poncho, whatever you desire. I think a rain, an umbrella is
• 59:10
  way better and you can just stay on the move.
• 59:13
  I always look to the sides at all the people that were
• 59:15
  unprepared that day and they're gathered underneath covering
• 59:18
  because they can't move because it's raining.
• 59:20
  So don't mind a rainy day at all.
• 59:25
  Nope, prefer not to, but don't mind it.
• 59:27
  There's advantages. Right.
• 59:29
  Wilson's in the World, another Disney Streamer Network friend.
• 59:33
  They said a bad weather day at Disney is still better than a
• 59:36
  regular day at work. Yeah.
• 59:37
  And Catherine said something similar.
• 59:39
  Folks take if if that is the only time you can go and you've
• 59:43
  got everything booked, go for it.
• 59:47
  Go for it. I'm telling you, it'll be.
• 59:50
  I've been there. In September, we went and drove
• 59:53
  through a hurricane to get to Disney World.
• 59:57
  We drove through a hurricane to get to Disney World to meet this
• 59:59
  guy on the other side of the screen.
• 1:00:01
  I mean, that wasn't that was, that was, that was that trip.
• 1:00:04
  So yeah. Nice.
• 1:00:06
  Yeah, yeah, yeah. Do do not cancel your trip if
• 1:00:10
  that is the only time you can go.
• 1:00:11
  Just go and enjoy it. And guess what?
• 1:00:13
  That weather's going to change about 10 times before you get to
• 1:00:16
  that day, so. Yeah, I mean, Florida is a
• 1:00:19
  tropical place like you. You don't look a week or two
• 1:00:22
  ahead of time. I know you're excited about your
• 1:00:24
  Disney trip. Don't even sweat the fact that
• 1:00:28
  rain is in the forecast, because it either is or it isn't a
• 1:00:32
  typical Florida. It's not going to be all day.
• 1:00:34
  You'll get an hour or two. Cools things off, maybe makes
• 1:00:37
  things hotter. It depends.
• 1:00:39
  But don't ever be hinged up on weather to affect your Disney
• 1:00:43
  trip. Right. 100% Yeah.
• 1:00:47
  All right, here's another myth. Rope drop guarantees everything.
• 1:00:53
  Now, rope drop. Let me explain that to Corey.
• 1:00:56
  Rope drop is when you get there. When the park.
• 1:00:59
  Opens I I had to look this up. You get there when the park
• 1:01:03
  opens or actually before? There's people that get there
• 1:01:05
  before the park opens really and then you are there before the
• 1:01:10
  majority of the crowds. This is a weird concept to me,
• 1:01:13
  but. Yeah, that's the thing, huh?
• 1:01:15
  Yeah. 7:00 AM, Eight AM. You're in the park at that
• 1:01:19
  point, Yeah. Wow, thanks for enlightening me.
• 1:01:22
  See, you learn things every day. Every day.
• 1:01:25
  I like to put the rope up. Yeah.
• 1:01:28
  I like to turn the lights out. I I watch a lot of streams, you
• 1:01:37
  know, being what I do for the Disney Streamer Network.
• 1:01:41
  And I see a lot of these daytime streamers and they're there in
• 1:01:44
  the mornings and it is quiet. There's no question about it.
• 1:01:48
  Do they get a lot of rides in? Yeah.
• 1:01:50
  Dad was on Tron today and like, not drawn a tower today in like
• 1:01:55
  30 minutes. You know, you do the big ones in
• 1:01:58
  the morning, you know, people will go to Slinky Dog, they'll
• 1:02:00
  go to Hey Purple Pleasure, they'll go to Tower of Terror,
• 1:02:05
  they'll go to Tron Space Mountain at rope drop.
• 1:02:10
  So I get that. I, I just don't think that it
• 1:02:15
  guarantees everything. Number one, rides go down #2
• 1:02:20
  you're not getting, you're not rope dropping Tianas.
• 1:02:23
  Now it's starting to get a little bit warmer where they
• 1:02:26
  will have it open. But guess what?
• 1:02:28
  December and January, Tianas does not open in the morning
• 1:02:33
  and. I didn't know that.
• 1:02:34
  Slinky Dog doesn't open in the morning because it's too cold.
• 1:02:38
  The water's too cold for Tianas and roller coasters won't
• 1:02:42
  operate under a certain temperature.
• 1:02:44
  So you, you, you, it's not a guarantee to everything.
• 1:02:49
  I have seen it that you do get a lot done.
• 1:02:52
  I, I maybe one day I might try rope dropping, but it does not
• 1:02:57
  guarantee you everything that that was, that was where I was
• 1:03:01
  going with that. I love rope drop though.
• 1:03:04
  I do. And when I'm there, I'm like, I
• 1:03:07
  gotta do this more often. Like there's just something so
• 1:03:10
  nice about the parks in the morning.
• 1:03:12
  Yeah. Just just all the hours ahead,
• 1:03:15
  How much fun you're gonna have, You're gonna do, you know, like
• 1:03:18
  you. Said you have the whole day.
• 1:03:20
  Yeah, some quick early entries. You can really take your time,
• 1:03:24
  but there's a lot to be said about the evening too so.
• 1:03:27
  True, true. Yeah, Both are great.
• 1:03:31
  I've done both. You know, we've done rope drop.
• 1:03:33
  We haven't done a lot, but I do remember it was Catherine and
• 1:03:37
  and I just on a adult only trip and we went and got breakfast at
• 1:03:43
  the Starbucks, went and caught the opening show at the Castle,
• 1:03:48
  took our time. It was very enjoyable.
• 1:03:52
  So there's something to be said for that.
• 1:03:53
  We've also gotten there somewhat early, done a midday break and
• 1:03:57
  went back. I enjoy that too.
• 1:04:00
  And then I've also enjoyed, you know, getting there 2O clock in
• 1:04:04
  the afternoon and staying until park closed.
• 1:04:07
  So it really just depends on what you like to do.
• 1:04:11
  But the point is, rope drop does not guarantee everything, but
• 1:04:14
  does give you a good start to the day.
• 1:04:17
  Sure does. Here's a couple quick ones.
• 1:04:23
  Solo Disney isn't fun. No, I mean, it's two different
• 1:04:29
  things, right? It's I can have fun with people
• 1:04:33
  and I can have fun on my own. For me, it means moving as fast
• 1:04:39
  as I want to move. You know, I glide off of rides
• 1:04:43
  sometimes, you know, coming off Pirates or something, like I
• 1:04:47
  don't know if my feet hit the ground for several steps, but
• 1:04:49
  we're out, we're quick or I can be quick.
• 1:04:53
  And especially crowds, you can weave in and out of the crowds,
• 1:04:55
  but you don't have to ask anyone else what you want, what they
• 1:04:59
  want to do too. It's whatever you want to do and
• 1:05:02
  let me just go do it. So I mean, I've done vlogging
• 1:05:07
  days where I've ridden the sky liner from resort to resort,
• 1:05:12
  things like that. And I reflect back on that.
• 1:05:13
  At the end of the day, I'm like, this was so much fun.
• 1:05:16
  It was so much fun. Is Disney more fun to share with
• 1:05:19
  others? Yes.
• 1:05:20
  But you can find so much fun on your own as well.
• 1:05:25
  Yeah, I I agree with you there. I've gone with the first trip we
• 1:05:31
  did as a family was the four of us had a great time.
• 1:05:35
  You know, Finley wasn't even 2. Jay was 1920, and so we had a
• 1:05:43
  great time. We've also gone the next trip,
• 1:05:45
  well, not the next trip, but two trips after that.
• 1:05:48
  We went with 18 people. Was that a blast?
• 1:05:51
  Absolutely. Would I plan that type of trip
• 1:05:54
  again? Absolutely not.
• 1:05:59
  Yeah, we're swinging the pendulum that way.
• 1:06:01
  That's a whole different thing. Absolutely not.
• 1:06:04
  There's too many people where, you know, even when you guys
• 1:06:08
  travel with us and a couple others, if we have a mixed
• 1:06:10
  crowd, we get walking and then you have a sense, let me check
• 1:06:13
  on everybody. And it's like, oh, where's so
• 1:06:15
  and so? Oh, they went into that shop or,
• 1:06:17
  oh, they had to run and get a snack or they're in the
• 1:06:20
  restroom. OK.
• 1:06:21
  Do we keep going or what we do? It's tough to keep a lot of
• 1:06:25
  people together. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:06:27
  And then especially, like, you know, the reason that we were
• 1:06:30
  all there, all eighteen of us, was I was proposing to Catherine
• 1:06:35
  in front of the castle and we missed our date and we missed
• 1:06:39
  our daytime that we wanted it, that I wanted to do it because
• 1:06:42
  her sister was late getting in. So we did it at night right
• 1:06:46
  after the fireworks. And I was trying to gather
• 1:06:49
  everybody for the fireworks. And then we, it was just just
• 1:06:52
  crazy. Wasn't a lot of fun.
• 1:06:56
  It was a ton of fun. It was even the craziness of the
• 1:06:59
  whole, we didn't have a place to stay and we're sleeping on the
• 1:07:02
  floor and all that kind of stuff.
• 1:07:04
  It was still an absolutely fun trip.
• 1:07:08
  Catherine and I have done just the two of us.
• 1:07:10
  We've been with just friends and I've gone on my own.
• 1:07:15
  There's, there's fun to be had. Every way that you do Disney,
• 1:07:20
  you're in Disney. I don't care who you're with,
• 1:07:23
  you're in Disney, go have a ball.
• 1:07:26
  Nothing, nothing wrong with it. Disney Mickey Super fan says how
• 1:07:29
  about going doing a cruise solo? Now that to me is a much bigger
• 1:07:34
  step. I don't know if I guess I would
• 1:07:39
  say this. If I was single and I wanted to
• 1:07:42
  go on a cruise, then I'd probably do it.
• 1:07:45
  But I probably wouldn't just go do one on my own because I
• 1:07:49
  wanted to try it. I think it's easier to have more
• 1:07:52
  fun in the parks for me than to do a solo cruise, but I know I
• 1:07:56
  think there's people in chat that have done them and love
• 1:07:59
  them too. It's all in what?
• 1:08:01
  It's all in what I think you can get out of it.
• 1:08:04
  I don't know. I would.
• 1:08:05
  I don't know. I wouldn't want to do a SO.
• 1:08:07
  I wouldn't want to do a cruise alone if I could help that.
• 1:08:09
  What do you think? I could say I think your point
• 1:08:11
  does make sense, right? Sharon is in chat.
• 1:08:14
  She's she's a big yeah. She's done her and she's done by
• 1:08:17
  herself doing it. And she loves it.
• 1:08:20
  She loves it. But could I do a a solo cruise?
• 1:08:26
  I don't think so. I mean, maybe if somebody says,
• 1:08:29
  hey, DSN, we need you to come on the adventure and we only have
• 1:08:33
  one ticket, OK. Sure, let's do.
• 1:08:38
  That I'll, I'll figure that out, but you know, just to do it on
• 1:08:41
  my own. I, I, I don't think so.
• 1:08:44
  I think you're right. It's, it's a little different.
• 1:08:47
  And I think the other thing too is that I've only done one
• 1:08:50
  cruise. You've only done one cruise.
• 1:08:53
  So there's so much more out there for us to experience with
• 1:08:57
  our families before we say, all right, we'll do a a solo cruise,
• 1:09:03
  you know, so. If I'm doing solo, I'm doing
• 1:09:07
  solo singles. Now you're talking, you can make
• 1:09:11
  a lot of friends. Anne says I should get married
• 1:09:15
  in front of the castle. Anne.
• 1:09:18
  Anne. Oh, you're not married yet?
• 1:09:19
  How, how much do you think the dyspod pays?
• 1:09:23
  I think what do you think that cost that's not free?
• 1:09:29
  Oh, as a matter of fact, you know, Jacob was telling me,
• 1:09:32
  talking to me on our way to Fantasmic when you showed those
• 1:09:34
  beautiful photos that the the montage of of my life in
• 1:09:41
  pictures as a kid and all that stuff.
• 1:09:44
  Jacob was like, is that, was that in the budget?
• 1:09:46
  I'm like, yeah, I said sign off on it.
• 1:09:48
  Whatever it cost Lawrence, just I'm approving it.
• 1:09:52
  I'm signing off on it. He's like, OK, I got to make
• 1:09:54
  sure I just, I just talked to Lawrence about it.
• 1:09:56
  It's approved. That was that was fun.
• 1:10:01
  That was fun. Yeah, we're trying to get paid
• 1:10:02
  on the Dizpod. We're trying to get paid.
• 1:10:04
  We need we need 20,000 subscribers on this bad boy.
• 1:10:08
  So we. Kind of the dis pod everyone.
• 1:10:10
  We kind of answered this already.
• 1:10:13
  You must plan every minute. So I'm a planner.
• 1:10:22
  I'm a big planner. I get in trouble with Tammy
• 1:10:26
  because I talk about plan like right now, if tonight I sat down
• 1:10:30
  and like, hey, we're going, you know, we're going, you know,
• 1:10:33
  Aulani in June of 2027. And it's like, if I'm like, hey,
• 1:10:39
  on day one, why don't we drop our bags, jump in the car and
• 1:10:43
  we're going to go get some malasadas over there, you know,
• 1:10:46
  down the road. And then from there we can hit
• 1:10:49
  the Dole plantation. We and she'd be like, dude, it's
• 1:10:52
  like more than a year away. Why are you talking about things
• 1:10:55
  so far away? For me, I like to plan.
• 1:10:59
  So for Disney Day, if I was on vacation, I don't think you have
• 1:11:06
  to plan every second. Now listen, I always tell people
• 1:11:09
  don't wing it. Like that's one book I've always
• 1:11:12
  had in my mind. Like the title would be you
• 1:11:14
  can't wing Disney. You cannot wing it.
• 1:11:17
  I don't care what anybody says they want to challenge me in
• 1:11:19
  comments or the chat. You cannot do that.
• 1:11:23
  You can only do that with the mindset of I don't care what I
• 1:11:27
  do. Hey, that was another that was
• 1:11:29
  another podcast episode. You can't wing Disney.
• 1:11:32
  That was the title of the episode.
• 1:11:34
  Really see. So we've done the podcast.
• 1:11:36
  We've done. That that's the only way you can
• 1:11:39
  get away with that. That I can wing Disney.
• 1:11:42
  It's it's it. And some people do come and they
• 1:11:44
  don't care what they do. They just want to be there.
• 1:11:47
  I'm amazed at a lot of you that hang out with us like I don't
• 1:11:52
  know if I could do it that way. It it means the world to us that
• 1:11:55
  you all just want to just come with us.
• 1:11:57
  Trust me, it means the world more the words we can say that
• 1:12:00
  that you want to just follow around and hang out with us for
• 1:12:03
  the day. For me, it's like, and maybe
• 1:12:05
  they cover what they want to cover in the rest of the trip
• 1:12:07
  too. Probably, but but it would it
• 1:12:10
  would drive me crazy to spend a day in Disney and not and miss
• 1:12:15
  some of the things that I feel like if I'm in Epcot and you
• 1:12:19
  know, I love soaring, but Corey and Tammy and Jacob didn't go on
• 1:12:23
  Sauron that day, I'd be like, I'll be back.
• 1:12:25
  I got to go on. I got to do these things right,
• 1:12:28
  You know, right. So, but you don't have to plan
• 1:12:31
  as much of a planner as I am. I've never planned rides past
• 1:12:36
  when we were coming. It was fast passes.
• 1:12:39
  So you knew you fast passes to start the day.
• 1:12:41
  You knew where you're eating dinner and that's it.
• 1:12:46
  It's too hard. I don't they cannot.
• 1:12:49
  There's got to be somebody on earth that's done this right.
• 1:12:51
  There's probably a world where some people have tried to plan
• 1:12:54
  out, OK, when we when we step into Magic Kingdom, we're going
• 1:12:58
  to go to Tomorrowland. We're going to do the People
• 1:13:00
  Mover, Carousel of Progress, then it's over to Tomorrowland
• 1:13:02
  Speedway and then we're going to jump on poo.
• 1:13:05
  Like I don't think anybody does that.
• 1:13:08
  It's impossible. It would never work.
• 1:13:11
  So I, I, I, I mentioned that if you remember the show the Middle
• 1:13:19
  that was on ABC, they went to Disney, but while they were
• 1:13:24
  supposed to go to Disney World, but they ended in Disneyland or
• 1:13:27
  vice versa. I can't remember.
• 1:13:30
  But Sue planned everything and she had a book that was like
• 1:13:34
  this thick and it's like, I can't do that.
• 1:13:37
  Well, now you wouldn't do that anyway, because who would use a
• 1:13:40
  book? You would all plan it in your
• 1:13:41
  phone, but you you I like the spontaneity of take what the
• 1:13:48
  part gives you. And the problem with like this,
• 1:13:52
  the scenario Corey just said is you plan all the stuff out and
• 1:13:55
  then what happens if Pooh goes down?
• 1:13:58
  What happens if you know, mine train doesn't open?
• 1:14:01
  What happens if they decide to refurb XYZ?
• 1:14:05
  You know, you have to be ready for that stuff.
• 1:14:07
  And I think when you plan to that extent of having a book
• 1:14:10
  like that and knowing, you know, we're going to take 18 steps and
• 1:14:14
  then we're going to breathe, you know, that's too much for me.
• 1:14:19
  I think you have to go in knowing here's what I want to
• 1:14:22
  accomplish, here's what I want to do.
• 1:14:25
  And, you know, like the December trip, I was there.
• 1:14:29
  I knew we had the peak meet up and I knew we were going to do,
• 1:14:33
  you know, certain things after that.
• 1:14:36
  OK, so that I have in mind, but to go down that path of planning
• 1:14:42
  every minute couldn't do it. As a local, the closest I come
• 1:14:46
  to doing that is probably only Epcot, which will be.
• 1:14:52
  I do like to at least the first few times of going to a new
• 1:14:56
  festival. I do have the booths planned out
• 1:14:59
  that I want to hit. Yeah, but but even, but even
• 1:15:03
  then you have what you want to hit, but you don't hit them all.
• 1:15:08
  You don't hit them all in a row. You're still, you know, OK, I've
• 1:15:12
  got these done and I'll hit this the next time or, you know, oh,
• 1:15:17
  let me go grab that right before Luminous or something like that.
• 1:15:20
  It's it's you still leave. Even though you do plan, you
• 1:15:24
  still leave yourself some flexibility I think.
• 1:15:27
  Yeah, thanks. I think we do like didn't really
• 1:15:31
  give it deep enough thought. I guess what we had on our plan
• 1:15:35
  for Festival of the Arts to start was whoa, we went
• 1:15:39
  dominant. The the list dominated with the
• 1:15:42
  sweet stuff over the savory. We're like, whoa, we don't have
• 1:15:44
  enough savory here. We got to find something else
• 1:15:46
  that's savory, you know, so we had to pivot.
• 1:15:50
  But you know, it's true. We, we, we take what the park
• 1:15:52
  gives us and what that means is just, we go in and we don't like
• 1:15:58
  to wait for things very long. The stream has something to do
• 1:16:02
  with that. But we've always had a family
• 1:16:03
  rule of no more than 30 minutes. Thirty minutes is a debate for
• 1:16:08
  some things. Sometimes the kids would be
• 1:16:10
  like, Dad, really we're going to wait 30 minutes for this.
• 1:16:13
  And that's when I'll say the whole park is busy.
• 1:16:16
  We don't have a choice. But we, we rarely do things that
• 1:16:19
  are, you know, 30 minutes and above.
• 1:16:23
  We went. The last time the three of us
• 1:16:26
  went, we went to test track and it was going to be Finley's
• 1:16:32
  first time. Well, and Kathleen too on test
• 1:16:35
  track and I kept watching test track and it would go down a
• 1:16:39
  little bit, but we're still hovering around 60 minutes.
• 1:16:42
  And I said we're just going to have to do it.
• 1:16:47
  And I think, I think we were meeting you that day.
• 1:16:50
  So it was like, well, we're going to have to do it now
• 1:16:52
  because we're going to be with them later on doing other stuff.
• 1:16:55
  So we bit the bullet and did it. Did I want to wait 60 minutes
• 1:17:00
  for test track? No, but I had to because number
• 1:17:02
  one, I can't do single rider. Can't send Finley on single
• 1:17:06
  rider next year. Technically we could.
• 1:17:08
  She'll be 7 tomorrow. That's crazy.
• 1:17:12
  Yeah, she's turned 7 tomorrow. And the rule is if you are 7,
• 1:17:16
  you can sit alone on a ride. I forget what they do.
• 1:17:20
  What? I forget what age you can enter
• 1:17:23
  the park on your own, but there is an underage age that you can
• 1:17:28
  enter the park on your own. I couldn't imagine sending like
• 1:17:31
  a 12 year old to magic for this for the day.
• 1:17:35
  I think there's I think there's stories though where people used
• 1:17:38
  to do it back in the 70s, maybe the 80s too.
• 1:17:41
  I dropped the kids off, let them go have fun at magic.
• 1:17:44
  I've heard that story from someone, don't remember who it
• 1:17:46
  was from. I don't even think it's a safety
• 1:17:48
  thing. I think it's how come you get to
• 1:17:50
  go spend the day at Disney and I've got to go to work, Yeah.
• 1:17:53
  Yeah, right. Yeah, yeah.
• 1:17:56
  No, no, no. You go to school.
• 1:17:58
  I'll go to Disney while you're at school.
• 1:18:00
  How about that? Tomorrow's going to be a weird
• 1:18:02
  day for me. I'm actually seeing a patient
• 1:18:04
  not very far from Disney according to the map in the
• 1:18:08
  morning. Then I got to come home, work my
• 1:18:10
  work, my route, and then go to Disney for real.
• 1:18:13
  Oh wow. I did have a little thought of
• 1:18:15
  it's just not going to work out that way this this time.
• 1:18:18
  But well, I guess I could have worked it where left there
• 1:18:22
  changed somewhere and just been at the park.
• 1:18:25
  Could be a possibility maybe for next Wednesday, maybe if I plan
• 1:18:28
  it right if I want to try that. But I like to kiss the kids
• 1:18:32
  before I go. So what?
• 1:18:35
  What of what do you guys in chat?
• 1:18:38
  What do you guys in the comments think about some of these myths?
• 1:18:40
  You still believe them? What we wrong on any of our
• 1:18:44
  takes on them? Feel free to to chat or comment
• 1:18:49
  and and let us know. I mean, you know, we, we, we are
• 1:18:53
  park pros, but we, we could, we could be swayed in, in different
• 1:19:00
  thinking here and there. Yeah, yeah, for sure.
• 1:19:03
  And I don't know if it's like this for all podcast platforms,
• 1:19:07
  but if you strictly listen on Spotify, iHeartRadio and all
• 1:19:10
  that, if do whatever you can to let them know that you enjoy us,
• 1:19:15
  you know, leave a review that goes a long way.
• 1:19:19
  You know, we're just going to keep doing this every week.
• 1:19:21
  Do we want to be #1 in what we do?
• 1:19:23
  Yes, we do. We may not get there.
• 1:19:25
  It's not going to affect how much fun we have, but we'd like
• 1:19:28
  to be the number one Disney podcast out there, not going to
• 1:19:31
  lie about that. Yeah, I mean, we're already at
• 1:19:34
  episode 127, I think. Let's go.
• 1:19:38
  We are on the way. Most podcasts end after 20,
• 1:19:42
  about 20 tonight. I have friends that have hosted
• 1:19:45
  podcasts and stopped after like 4 like.
• 1:19:49
  And I've I've I almost did 20 on my own first before I brought
• 1:19:52
  you in. Yeah, yeah, there's theme park
• 1:19:55
  giant. Congratulations that 10K
• 1:19:58
  subscribers today. I have to change the.
• 1:20:01
  I'm going to have to re. Configure the layout for the sub
• 1:20:06
  count on the the Disney streamer network because he's about to
• 1:20:09
  pass me in Subs probably tomorrow.
• 1:20:13
  We got that competition going all right.
• 1:20:16
  Congratulations, theme park giant.
• 1:20:18
  Don't quit now. Keep going.
• 1:20:20
  Right. Don't quit.
• 1:20:22
  Don't take that 10,000 your mark and then you quit.
• 1:20:25
  Don't keep going. Oh, Speaking of quitting, he
• 1:20:27
  says he quit after four podcast episodes.
• 1:20:30
  Oh, see that? See that?
• 1:20:33
  Saying there's that number. Yeah, it's it's fun to play on
• 1:20:37
  the mic. It's fun to hang out with all of
• 1:20:38
  you and talk Disney and have a good time with that.
• 1:20:41
  I like to play, Yeah, just playing.
• 1:20:43
  Just a couple Bros talking Disney.
• 1:20:45
  That's right. We got some good episodes coming
• 1:20:47
  up. We have the flower and garden.
• 1:20:53
  I think that one's going to be a.
• 1:20:54
  Big one that let's go. It's my favorite.
• 1:20:59
  D-23 I'm still trying to figure out what the plan is for D-23.
• 1:21:05
  We've got a couple ideas. You know, I do have the Frontier
• 1:21:10
  Airlines annual pass. I could just make my way over
• 1:21:13
  there and stream from D-23 maybe.
• 1:21:20
  If not, we do have the ability to because it'll be Saturday, so
• 1:21:26
  Corey will be in the parks and I could do a live break in, in the
• 1:21:31
  live stream with some updates if I'm home.
• 1:21:35
  So we might do it that way. So during the during that night,
• 1:21:40
  it's going to or that weekend, it's going to be a lot of fun.
• 1:21:43
  And then Tuesday we will do a recap the Tuesday following and
• 1:21:46
  we might even do maybe we should do a preview of D-23 and kind of
• 1:21:52
  throw out our ideas on what we think we're going to hear and
• 1:21:56
  names for the rides and stuff like that.
• 1:21:59
  You do that the week before. Sounds good.
• 1:22:02
  Yeah, that works. That works for me.
• 1:22:05
  So we got a lot of fun stuff coming up for all of you.
• 1:22:07
  Appreciate everybody that joins us week after week.
• 1:22:10
  Or if it's your first time, is Christy pH Disney from across on
• 1:22:14
  the West Coast out there streaming Disneyland?
• 1:22:19
  Is is Christy like a doctor that covers Disney or like has a PhD
• 1:22:26
  in Disney? And I like the use of Diz.
• 1:22:28
  The use of Diz is very nice. I.
• 1:22:31
  Like that I, I, I would imagine Corey would like that yes.
• 1:22:35
  So Christy, tell us where that, where your name came from, where
• 1:22:38
  your channel name came from. That's a.
• 1:22:41
  That's a good, good call out and.
• 1:22:45
  I was going to say, I was going to say, just wanted to reach out
• 1:22:48
  to Michelle Hollensteiner here who's having a tough week, lost
• 1:22:51
  her dad. That doesn't go unnoticed.
• 1:22:53

  Michelle. And yeah, we're so sorry for the
• 1:23:07
  loss of your dad. We know how much he meant to
• 1:23:09
  you. So we're here.
• 1:23:11
  We're here for you. Absolutely.
• 1:23:15
  So we are going to send both. Both channels, Park Bros and
• 1:23:20
  Living in Diz are going to send you over to Park Pass TV.
• 1:23:24
  They are out in Universal Studios.

  changed. Still fixated on 9/9 PM for a

  We don't. We don't love it.
• 1:24:06
  Yeah. Yeah, so, you know, you know,
• 1:24:09
  what are we going to do? You know, I think people do like
• 1:24:11
  my walk. The exiting the park is, is just
• 1:24:15
  gross with the amount of people that are out there trying to
• 1:24:20
  leave at this time. It's it's plus.
• 1:24:23
  You don't want. To leave not a good, it's not a
• 1:24:25
  good situation. It's it's horrible.
• 1:24:29
  I'd rather do a relaxing walk back to the TTC.
• 1:24:32
  So I'll give you all a nice relaxing walk back if you'd
• 1:24:34
  like, because just waiting in that line is not great.
• 1:24:39
  And you know, we could hang out on, you know, we could hang out
• 1:24:46
  on Main Street for an hour and let let it clear a bit.
• 1:24:49
  I don't know. You can all let me know what you
• 1:24:51
  want to do. So Shirley wishes you'd go to
