Disney Dining Roulette · The Worst: Beyond the Magic

• 0:00
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Pete, I got a last minute production change for you.
• 0:04
  SPEAKER_01: That never sounds good.
• 0:06
  SPEAKER_01: Since the name of our show is The Worst Beyond the Magic, we're not going to do a normal ranking.
• 0:12
  SPEAKER_01: We're going to do One Star is the Worst Restaurant on your final list, and then Five Stars or Five Stars is the best.
• 0:19
  SPEAKER_00: I don't say it like that.
• 0:21
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you do.
• 0:22
  SPEAKER_01: You absolutely do.
• 0:24
  SPEAKER_01: Fine.
• 0:25
  SPEAKER_01: Five stars.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: Five stars.
• 0:28
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 0:29
  SPEAKER_01: Today, ladies and gentlemen, we're going to do a blind ranking of Walt Disney World's restaurants.
• 0:33
  SPEAKER_01: We'll each reveal five restaurants to the other person that neither of us knew about, so we each pick five individually.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: And we're going to review one at a time.
• 0:43
  SPEAKER_01: You have to place each one somewhere from one star to five stars without knowing what's coming next.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_01: And once I place it, I can't move it.
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_00: Correct.
• 0:54
  SPEAKER_00: So this is less of a restaurant ranking and more of a psychological experiment.
• 0:59
  SPEAKER_00: A psychological experiment with bread service, sir.
• 1:02
  SPEAKER_00: So it's basically Disney dining.
• 1:06
  SPEAKER_01: Welcome back to The Worst Beyond the Magic.
• 1:09
  SPEAKER_00: Where today's worst decisions are legally binding.
• 1:15
  SPEAKER_01: Thanks for coming uh coming back to today.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: So here's what we're going to do.
• 1:19
  SPEAKER_01: So I um I thought about this and I came up with this little game that Pete and I are going to play.
• 1:26
  SPEAKER_01: We've each chosen five Walt Disney World restaurants.
• 1:30
  SPEAKER_01: It doesn't, it could be in the park, could be outside the park, could be at Disney Springs, could be anywhere, somewhere on property, one of five different Walt Disney World restaurants.
• 1:38
  SPEAKER_01: And we're going to rank them.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_01: You don't love this.
• 1:41
  SPEAKER_01: I don't love this.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_01: One being the worst star, five stars, one being the worst, which is of course the namesake of our show.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_01: And then five stars being the best.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 1:56
  SPEAKER_01: The best part about this is we don't know what's coming next.
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_01: We haven't told each other what restaurants we've picked.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_01: We did confirm uh we've we've done this.
• 2:05
  SPEAKER_01: We know each other well enough to know that all the restaurants that we've been to, or we think we do.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_01: If we if not, we're gonna find out during the episode.
• 2:11
  SPEAKER_01: That should be fun.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_01: Um, once the reading is used, you can't go back and it's unavailable.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_01: So once you name something one, the worst, you can't give the next one where you can't change your answer.
• 2:23
  SPEAKER_01: So again, we don't know what's coming next.
• 2:26
  SPEAKER_01: You gotta take notes, we gotta do math.
• 2:30
  SPEAKER_01: The final list is gonna be completely ridiculous.
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_01: Are you ready for this?
• 2:34
  SPEAKER_01: I don't know if I'm ready, but we can do this thing.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_01: And remember, these are not necessarily our real restaurant rankings, these are the rankings uh for the game that we're forced to create because of this game.
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_00: All right, because we're gonna end up making like T-Rex the best restaurant on Disney property.
• 2:56
  SPEAKER_01: We might, we don't know.
• 2:57
  SPEAKER_01: All right, Speed.
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_01: I've got I've got five restaurants ready to go.
• 3:01
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna quiz you first because I'd like to I'd like to tease you.
• 3:03
  SPEAKER_01: Are you ready?
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, good, good.
• 3:05
  SPEAKER_01: Remember, remember, one is the worst, five stars is the best.

• 3:43
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's good though.
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, so it's not the worst.
• 3:48
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it's a standby cosmic rays.
• 3:51
  SPEAKER_00: I want to ask if you even like this place.
• 3:53

• 3:56
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna have to go four.

  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna go two.

  SPEAKER_00: Wicked hard.
• 4:21
  SPEAKER_00: Um, yeah.
• 4:22
  SPEAKER_00: Man, I don't even know.
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_00: I'm going, uh I'm tempted to give it a one, but I'm gonna give it a two.
• 4:27
  SPEAKER_00: And that's uh that's where I'm at.
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: Pete, you're killing me, Smalls.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_01: One is the one.
• 4:37
  SPEAKER_01: Remember, what we're gonna confuse the hell out of each other throughout this entire episode.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: One is the worst, five is the best.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_01: So you're gonna give it a two.
• 4:44
  SPEAKER_01: I'm gonna give it a two.
• 4:45
  SPEAKER_01: All right, two stars.
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_01: Two stars.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: All right, that's what I got.
• 4:50
  SPEAKER_01: So, cosmic rays, starlight cafe, two stars, pizza in, locked in.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_01: Are you locked in?
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_00: I need to come back and ask you what you feel about cosmic rays after this.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: I will.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, we'll get there.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: We'll we'll talk about it in a little bit.
• 5:01
  SPEAKER_01: All right, I'm gonna keep going though, okay?
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: You ready?
• 5:04
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: Restaurant number two.
• 5:08
  SPEAKER_01: Be our guest restaurant.
• 5:11
  SPEAKER_00: Oh man.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_00: I love this game.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_00: This is terrible.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_00: Because now I've got to give BR Guest a better ranking than Cosmic Rays, which I do not want to do.
• 5:24
  SPEAKER_01: Do you do you?
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: Do you have to?
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, man.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_00: I I feel like putting BR Guest number one is gonna really annoy some people out there.
• 5:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna do it.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_00: I don't love BR Guest.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you to be honest, I don't love it less than Cosmic Rays, but if you keep picking bad restaurants, then I'm gonna put something something terrible with five stars.
• 5:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I mean, the gray stuff is not delicious, uh, the service is not impeccable, the characters are not great.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you know, I think the only place I can put this is one star.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_01: One worse than cosmic rays, ladies and gentlemen.
• 6:07
  SPEAKER_01: You were here first.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: The worst can imagine female technology is like a standby.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, it might not be the best in the world, but you know, it's a pretty decent little spot to get some food.
• 6:18
  SPEAKER_00: You want some you want some chicken nuggies in the middle of the afternoon?
• 6:20
  SPEAKER_00: That's where we're going.
• 6:21
  SPEAKER_01: I'm saying.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: Here we go.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_01: So here um we've done Kazakh Raves, we've done BR Guest.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_01: Number three on my list.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_01: Man, you are gonna hate me.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, and the best part is you don't know what's coming next.
• 6:38
  SPEAKER_01: I don't, it's terrible.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_00: Steakhouse 71.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_00: Ah, see, now that we're on the other end of the spectrum, I don't know if I'm gonna put that number one or not.
• 6:48
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, see, now I'm glad I I I deliberately picked restaurants that we hadn't really talked about, so that uh we we got a chance to plug them or or or or whatever.
• 6:58
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so now you were picking the ones I didn't.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_00: So we're good.
• 7:02
  SPEAKER_00: We're good in that sense.
• 7:03
  SPEAKER_00: But let me answer this question.
• 7:04
  SPEAKER_00: Steakhouse 71 is fantastic.
• 7:06
  SPEAKER_00: We've had good times there.
• 7:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we've seen uh friends there, we've had drinks there, we've had food there.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_00: It is always uh easy to get service there.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: I love Steakhouse 71.
• 7:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I'm just afraid you're gonna put something better there.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_00: So I don't know if I'm gonna give it five stars or not.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um I think I think right now this is probably man, I don't want to give up my five stars.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_00: Difficult, my friend.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: This is difficult.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: All right, you know what?
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna take it.
• 7:46
  SPEAKER_00: You can't get this type of entertainment anywhere else.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: You're welcome.
• 7:49
  SPEAKER_00: You're welcome for this.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna take a gamble because Steakhouse 71 is amazing, and I love it because of the experiences I've already had there, and then you add the food and service and the alcohol.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I want to give it a five-star rating, but I'm gonna go four stars for Steakhouse 71.
• 8:07
  SPEAKER_01: Four stars for Steakhouse 71.
• 8:10
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: Point that down.
• 8:11
  SPEAKER_01: Four stars is off the board, ladies and gentlemen.
• 8:14
  SPEAKER_01: Four stars is gone.
• 8:16
  SPEAKER_00: All right now I got middle of the road and best left.
• 8:18
  SPEAKER_01: Middle of the road and best.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_01: All right, so here's what we have, ladies and gentlemen, so far.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_01: All right, so this is just a quick recap.
• 8:25
  SPEAKER_01: We are three restaurants into five, okay?
• 8:28
  SPEAKER_01: Here we are.
• 8:31
  SPEAKER_01: All right, at our midpoint check.
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_01: Here's the current leaderboard, all right?
• 8:36
  SPEAKER_01: Number one, cosmic rays.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_01: Not number one on the list.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_01: This is the first restaurant I gave him.
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: Cosmic Rays, two stars.
• 8:44
  SPEAKER_01: Be our guest restaurant, one star.
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_01: Steakhouse 71, four stars.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_01: Which leaves left four and five stars.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_01: So you better have a restaurant on this list.
• 9:02
  SPEAKER_01: What is what is your uh what's your worst decision you made so far, Pete?
• 9:06
  SPEAKER_01: Since this is the worst.
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: I think I think I think I've did I did cosmic rays a little dirty.
• 9:18
  SPEAKER_00: Um but I I I don't know.
• 9:20
  SPEAKER_00: It depends on where you go from here.
• 9:23
  SPEAKER_00: I could be right on.
• 9:25
  SPEAKER_01: It does, it does.
• 9:26
  SPEAKER_01: All right, so you okay, so you think you gave cosmic rays you treated it unfairly, the most.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 9:32
  SPEAKER_01: All right, not BR guest, since you gave BR guest one.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm still out of all the ones we've talked about, BR guest is still the worst out of this list.
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 9:43
  SPEAKER_01: Do you regret any of your placement thus far?
• 9:46
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, no, I think we're good.
• 9:47
  SPEAKER_00: We're gonna find out in the next couple minutes.
• 9:52
  SPEAKER_01: How confident are you from from one to ten right now?
• 9:57
  SPEAKER_00: I I am I have zero confidence.
• 10:03
  SPEAKER_00: That wasn't an option.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I need to speak to the producer.
• 10:06
  SPEAKER_01: What um that well, yeah.
• 10:09
  SPEAKER_01: Uh ChatGP denied your request for a chat.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: Sorry.
• 10:12
  SPEAKER_01: Dang it.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_01: She uh just so you know, we've we've just so people at home know, we uh we've named our chat GPT Betty.
• 10:18
  SPEAKER_01: Betty's our producer.
• 10:20
  SPEAKER_01: Uh she she looks over our uh outlines of our episodes and tells us if we're dumb or not, each one.
• 10:26
  SPEAKER_01: So but she Betty liked this one.
• 10:28
  SPEAKER_01: So um, and she especially likes the part that uh we pick on your accent, and I get to I get to mess with you the entire time.
• 10:35
  SPEAKER_01: So she she enjoyed that.
• 10:37
  SPEAKER_01: Um so do you think at this point, now that we're we're three restaurants in, do you think something worse or better is still coming?
• 10:48
  SPEAKER_00: I am hoping that there's one absolute banger and then one middle of the road so that I'm not trapped into something I don't like.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, because if I get the next one at three, the automatically goes five stars for whatever your last one is, and that could be um, you know, the damn pyramid, the damn uh restaurant inside the pyramid, San Angelo, San Angel.
• 11:16
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, San Angelo's, yeah.
• 11:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you're right.
• 11:18
  SPEAKER_01: It could be.
• 11:19
  SPEAKER_01: We'll we'll see.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_01: All right, uh, next one on the list, number four.
• 11:24
  SPEAKER_01: Storybook dining at Artist Point, located in the wilderness lodge.
• 11:31
  SPEAKER_00: Oh boy.
• 11:32
  SPEAKER_00: Oh boy.
• 11:36
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, all right.
• 11:38
  SPEAKER_00: You know what?
• 11:39
  SPEAKER_00: You made this one easy for me.
• 11:40
  SPEAKER_00: I'm gonna I'm gonna win this game because uh I feel like um this one's a little pricey, little price tag on the story storybook dining, but um I've always I've been there twice.
• 11:54
  SPEAKER_00: I've had great experiences there.
• 11:56
  SPEAKER_00: I one of my favorite characters is the evil queen, and she is there in all her glory, um, often compared to Grumpy, as my kid says.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so Grumpy's there as well.
• 12:08
  SPEAKER_00: Um, Snow White is another one of my faves.
• 12:11
  SPEAKER_00: She's there.
• 12:12
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so the character uh dining is on point, the food is on point, and there's even little like tricks with the food, like gastronomy tricks.
• 12:20
  SPEAKER_00: You pour things in, they change colors like magic.
• 12:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so I think that's great too.
• 12:24
  SPEAKER_00: Uh it's not hard to get to.
• 12:26
  SPEAKER_00: Parking's pretty easy.
• 12:28
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, it is out of the park.
• 12:29
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's uh but yeah, I I would easily give this one five stars.
• 12:34
  SPEAKER_00: Five stars for stars.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: Five stars.
• 12:36
  SPEAKER_01: Five stars is off the board.
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: Giving it to Snow White at Artist Point.
• 12:43
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think alone the evil queen deserves five stars.
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think she's killing.
• 12:51
  SPEAKER_01: She is not nice in that restaurant.
• 12:53
  SPEAKER_01: She, and I don't know.
• 12:54
  SPEAKER_01: Uh if you look at the pictures, my pictures and your pictures, like she's she's mean mugging the hell out of of us.
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: And uh she's she's not afraid to show it.
• 13:03
  SPEAKER_01: I love that about the the food is yeah, I know she's she's great.
• 13:07
  SPEAKER_01: The food is fantastic.
• 13:08
  SPEAKER_01: I couldn't agree with you more there.
• 13:10
  SPEAKER_01: As far as trying to get to the restaurant itself, so we have a couple choices, like Pete, a couple choices.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: Pete said, you can either drive your car, Uber, uh, whatever it is, to park there.
• 13:19
  SPEAKER_00: There's plenty of parking.
• 13:20
  SPEAKER_01: You can plenty lots of pockets.
• 13:22
  SPEAKER_01: Got some smart park.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: Smart pack.
• 13:26
  SPEAKER_01: Fantastic.
• 13:27
  SPEAKER_01: You can either do that.
• 13:31
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you could do that, or you could take uh from Magic Kingdom if you're leaving from the park.
• 13:35
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you can take the ferry, and that's the only way to get over there uh from Magic Kingdom over to Wilderness Lodge.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_01: Um, another one, another hidden, another hidden sleeper over there is is um Geyser Point, which is the outside bar overlooking the lake.
• 13:53
  SPEAKER_01: Um, I have personally never eaten there, but I've heard nothing but good things snub point.
• 13:57
  SPEAKER_01: Uh the drinks are good there.
• 13:58
  SPEAKER_01: They have a bison burger on the menu, which I've heard is fantastic.
• 14:01
  SPEAKER_01: That's something I think we need to go to next time we're there together, or that I personally want to check out.
• 14:06
  SPEAKER_01: But I think Wilderness Lodge as a whole is definitely a sleeper.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_01: When you we we we talk about like deluxe resorts and where people want to stay.
• 14:15
  SPEAKER_01: That's not like wilderness lodge is not ever one that ever comes up as like the number one pick.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_01: But I think it's I think it's it's a sleeper hit.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_01: Definitely is.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_01: I think so.
• 14:26
  SPEAKER_01: Five stars for five stars for uh for this restaurant.
• 14:29
  SPEAKER_01: I got it.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_01: Five stars.
• 14:31
  SPEAKER_01: Writing it down.
• 14:32
  SPEAKER_01: Five stars.
• 14:33
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_01: Last one, number five on my list.
• 14:39
  SPEAKER_01: Number five, Waiolu Bar and Grill located at the Polynesian Resort.
• 14:48
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um I mean, there's no other stars left to give.
• 14:52
  SPEAKER_00: There is no other stars, so it goes to three stars.
• 14:55
  SPEAKER_00: But I do want to say, I think the uh if we put it on three, uh it's not bad.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_00: Like I think we've got this, I got this just the way I would have, because I wouldn't have put cosmic rays over Wyolulu Steakhouse or Artist Point.
• 15:11
  SPEAKER_00: I would not put BR guest over any of those.
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_00: I think this list is is um magically right on point.
• 15:19
  SPEAKER_00: I I uh I love Wyolulu.
• 15:21
  SPEAKER_00: I think it's great.
• 15:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um, I think the banana old fashioned there is out of this world.
• 15:27
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's you know, some people just add things to things just to make it creative, but this one it actually works for that old fashioned.
• 15:36
  SPEAKER_00: I think it was really good.
• 15:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um, we've had the sliders there, they're really good.
• 15:40
  SPEAKER_00: We've had the burger, which is good.
• 15:41
  SPEAKER_00: Um, the spam, uh, the spam musabi, also really good.
• 15:46
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, I I think this could be an easy tie for me with Steakhouse 71, um, but I think Steakhouse 71 would beat it because of um the good times that we've had there.
• 15:56
  SPEAKER_00: So there's the nostalgia reading to that.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_00: And then Artist Point is Artist Point and you know, the evil queen.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_00: So I'm I'm pretty stoked about that.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_01: I think you did, I think you did pretty well.
• 16:06
  SPEAKER_01: So just a recap for what we have here, and I'm gonna I'm gonna go in order from from best to worst.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, so uh I'm sorry, I'm gonna go from from worst to best, I should say.

  SPEAKER_01: Worst to best.
• 16:18
  SPEAKER_01: That's the whole theme of the show.

• 16:33
  SPEAKER_01: So be our guest, cosmic rays.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_01: Three stars goes to Wyolulu Barrow Grill, four stars goes to Steakhouse 71.
• 16:42
  SPEAKER_01: That's one of our favorites.
• 16:43
  SPEAKER_01: And remember, they have the Knob Creek Disney Select that you can't get anywhere else.

  SPEAKER_01: And I and I agree with that one.
• 17:20
  SPEAKER_01: I really like that one a lot.
• 17:21
  SPEAKER_01: Um it's a bit pricier if you're not on the dining plan.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_01: I have to go back and look.
• 17:26
  SPEAKER_01: I can't remember.
• 17:27

  SPEAKER_01: Um, but it used it used to be one.
• 17:38
  SPEAKER_01: It was a great, it was a great use of a one one uh dining credit on a dining plan, but I guess it is two now.

• 17:46
  SPEAKER_00: I mean it's fancy, the food's good, and you get characters.

  SPEAKER_01: But uh I love I love the atmosphere.
• 21:53
  SPEAKER_01: I love, I mean, even even if the restaurant is slammed, uh, they still have a really nice outdoor dining area where you Can go, you can walk up to the bar and sit down there, or one of the little tiny tables around there, the high tops, and get uh get a beer to go if you want to.
• 22:08
  SPEAKER_01: So the experience is not ruined because a restaurant is slammed.
• 22:11
  SPEAKER_01: But if you want to go in there and watch the show, watch the Irish dancers, enjoy the music, the bar songs that they sing, there's no better atmosphere than that.
• 22:19

  SPEAKER_00: We'll see how this one plays out.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_00: Let's just go ahead and recap before we get into the nuts and bolts.
• 25:37
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, you uh started out with 50's primetime cafe.
• 25:42
  SPEAKER_00: You gave that a solid four stars.
• 25:45
  SPEAKER_00: Uh you you think ranked that right up to the top.
• 25:48
  SPEAKER_00: And then we came in with uh Raglan Road, gave that a little bit lower than 50s.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_00: You got the three stars on Raglan Road, and then you gave away that five-star rating to uh Wayolulu Bar and Grill at the Polynesian.
• 26:01
  SPEAKER_00: Uh I can relate to that.
• 26:02
  SPEAKER_00: I can understand why you went in that direction.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_00: And so uh here's where we start throwing some softballs or curveballs at you.
• 26:10
  SPEAKER_00: Uh so Whispering Canyon is my next restaurant on the list.
• 26:16
  SPEAKER_01: I think this is where you're gonna have to call it, call the audible because I have not been to whispering whispering canyon.
• 26:21
  SPEAKER_01: I know where it is.

  SPEAKER_01: I should give it another chance, is what I should do.
• 27:22
  SPEAKER_01: I shouldn't judge it that hard.
• 27:23
  SPEAKER_01: But when we went, our kids were small, well, we only had two at the time.
• 27:28
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and it took forever for Lilo and Stitch to get to our like over an hour it took for them to get to our table.
• 27:37
  SPEAKER_01: And the food is just so it was just so mass-produced.
• 27:41
  SPEAKER_01: Like it just wasn't there was nothing special about Ohana breakfast.
• 27:46
  SPEAKER_01: It was your typical your Mickey waffles, it was your you know, sausage, your bacon, your eggs.

• 28:01
  SPEAKER_01: Dinner, though, or just breakfast?
• 28:03
  SPEAKER_01: I have not.
• 28:04
  SPEAKER_01: I've been just for breakfast, yeah.
• 28:06
  SPEAKER_00: Okay, so I would agree with you uh uh about uh it being pretty low.
• 28:12
  SPEAKER_00: When I but I have an opposite experience.
• 28:14
  SPEAKER_00: So 10 years ago, I think was one of our first times, maybe it was a little bit longer than 10 years ago.
• 28:19
  SPEAKER_00: We we loved it, we thought it was amazing.
• 28:20
  SPEAKER_00: Like the food was really good.
• 28:22
  SPEAKER_00: The we went for dinner though.
• 28:24
  SPEAKER_00: Um, so the the pot stickers and the banana uh the bread pudding, like all of it was you know really fantastic.
• 28:31
  SPEAKER_00: And then since we've been back uh a couple times since then, it's just not been the same experience.
• 28:36
  SPEAKER_00: But um, and I you know I've never I've never heard good things about the breakfast.
• 28:41
  SPEAKER_01: So yeah, we we we went for breakfast.
• 28:44
  SPEAKER_01: I mean the characters are great.
• 28:45
  SPEAKER_01: Like Lilo is great, the stitch is fantastic, stitch is my daughter's, um, my middle daughter, her favorite character.
• 28:52
  SPEAKER_01: I I like them a lot.
• 28:53
  SPEAKER_01: Like, and I the character experience is is fantastic, but as a whole, like as a whole dining experience, the food, the atmosphere, and how slammed they were, and how they just try to get you in and out.
• 29:03
  SPEAKER_01: Um, again, I should give it another chance, but um, it's gotta be one star for me.
• 29:09
  SPEAKER_01: One star.
• 29:10
  SPEAKER_00: There you go.
• 29:11
  SPEAKER_00: All right, man.
• 29:12
  SPEAKER_00: I like it.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I like it.
• 29:13
  SPEAKER_00: I agree with that.
• 29:14
  SPEAKER_00: That leaves which one?
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 29:16
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, I kind of yeah.
• 29:19
  SPEAKER_00: I guess I don't know.
• 29:21
  SPEAKER_00: You're gonna hate me for this one.
• 29:22
  SPEAKER_00: All right, so the last one on my list is Topolinos.
• 29:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh no.
• 29:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh no.
• 29:30
  SPEAKER_01: I gave you let me give Topolinos two stars.
• 29:34
  SPEAKER_02: Uh why do you hate Topolinos?
• 29:40
  SPEAKER_01: I don't hate Tapolinos.
• 29:42
  SPEAKER_01: I love Tapolinos.
• 29:43
  SPEAKER_01: The that is it is the exact opposite experience of a Valhana.
• 29:48
  SPEAKER_01: Like you don't feel rushed, you don't feel crowded, that the tables are nicely spaced apart from each other, the service is excellent.
• 29:54
  SPEAKER_01: The character experience is one of the best on property as far as character dining goes.
• 29:59
  SPEAKER_01: I I always recommend Tapolinos uh brunch to clients of mine that go, I always want to book that one for them because it's and it's a hard one to get, by the way.
• 30:09
  SPEAKER_01: That is definitely one at six six o'clock in the morning and six days out.
• 30:13
  SPEAKER_01: I am Johnny on the spot to get that one because it goes quick.
• 30:16
  SPEAKER_01: That and Cinderella Castle for some reason.
• 30:19
  SPEAKER_01: I'm surprised we didn't put Cinderella Castle on the list.
• 30:21
  SPEAKER_01: Well let me let me finish on Tapolino's a minute.
• 30:24
  SPEAKER_01: But like the food at Tapolinos is unbelievable.
• 30:27
  SPEAKER_01: The the breakfast drinks, the Bellinis, the the Bloody Marys.
• 30:32
  SPEAKER_01: Um I mean, everything everything there is is fantastic.
• 30:36
  SPEAKER_01: The the atmosphere is beautiful.
• 30:39
  SPEAKER_01: Um it's it's probably you let me give it, you let you let me give it two stars.
• 30:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's just your fault.
• 30:46
  SPEAKER_00: But now you're on record giving toppolino two stars.
• 30:51
  SPEAKER_01: Send all your hate mail to the worst beyond the magic at gmail.com, people.
• 30:54
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 30:55
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, it's uh yeah, I'm so sorry.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: I'm so sorry.
• 30:59
  SPEAKER_01: Apologize.
• 31:00
  SPEAKER_01: But um this is enjoyable from the other side.
• 31:03
  SPEAKER_01: Isn't it fun?
• 31:04
  SPEAKER_01: It's fun.
• 31:05
  SPEAKER_01: Um this is a good idea.
• 31:08
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, I listen.
• 31:10
  SPEAKER_01: I love I love to I love everything about Tapolinos.
• 31:13
  SPEAKER_01: And is that the riff?
• 31:15
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, we love the riff.
• 31:17
  SPEAKER_01: Kinda.
• 31:20
  unknown: Okay.
• 31:20
  SPEAKER_01: All right.
• 31:21
  SPEAKER_01: Well we did it, man.
• 31:22
  SPEAKER_01: We it's finished.
• 31:24
  SPEAKER_01: We we each gave each other five restaurants.
• 31:26
  SPEAKER_01: Um I think I think we're I think we did pretty good.
• 31:29
  SPEAKER_01: So let's let's discuss a little bit here.
• 31:32
  SPEAKER_01: Who ended up with the better list?
• 31:33
  SPEAKER_01: What do you think?
• 31:36
  SPEAKER_00: Who ended up with the better list?
• 31:38
  SPEAKER_00: I think um the I think mine was I was able to get them in in a in a in an accurate order.
• 31:45
  SPEAKER_00: I think putting Topolinos at uh number two is pretty uh messed up.
• 31:51
  SPEAKER_00: It's hate it's hateful.
• 31:52
  SPEAKER_00: That's hateful.
• 31:53
  SPEAKER_00: Uh but I think the rest of your list is pretty good.
• 31:55
  SPEAKER_00: I think you probably could have um you know adjusted with Way Lulu um in 50s prime time, but you know, outside of Topolinos, it was good.
• 32:06
  SPEAKER_00: But all these restaurants are pretty great.
• 32:08
  SPEAKER_00: Uh uh I you know, I think we both have our be our guests and our Ohana, where we just don't really love them.
• 32:14
  SPEAKER_00: So that was an easy uh downplay for us.
• 32:17
  SPEAKER_00: But uh Yeah, you know.
• 32:19
  SPEAKER_00: Well, what do you what do you what do you what do you think?
• 32:21
  SPEAKER_00: Who had the better list?
• 32:22
  SPEAKER_01: I think I think like you said, I think um I think you like your list was like spot on.
• 32:28
  SPEAKER_01: Like it was it was I didn't mean it for that to happen, by the way.
• 32:32
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you you picked you picked the right amount of stars for each one of those places.
• 32:36
  SPEAKER_01: I mean you gave Cosmic Rays two stars, obviously that's a one-star restaurant.
• 32:40
  SPEAKER_01: Um and then we are I wanted to know what your opinion of uh Cosmic was.
• 32:47
  SPEAKER_01: It's again, if it's if you are walking through Tomorrowland and your little one says, I'm hungry, and you're like, We got stuff to do.
• 32:57
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, I can't feed you right now.
• 33:00
  SPEAKER_01: Mobile order yourself some chicken nuggets from uh cosmic rays and keep her moving.
• 33:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh yeah, you're mobile ordering.
• 33:10
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, there it is.
• 33:12
  SPEAKER_01: Uh ding, uh take a drink.
• 33:15
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, it's it's just not it's just not great.
• 33:19
  SPEAKER_01: There's so many better like quick service restaurants.
• 33:22
  SPEAKER_01: What's a better quick service restaurant?
• 33:24
  SPEAKER_00: Uh, right there.
• 33:26
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there you go.
• 33:27
  SPEAKER_01: Like Harbor House is quick service, and I think that place is great.
• 33:31
  SPEAKER_01: Like, you know, yeah, Columbus, yeah, Columbia Harbor House is fantastic.
• 33:35
  SPEAKER_01: Um, that's that's probably the best quick service.
• 33:38
  SPEAKER_01: And then Sleepy Hollow is another one.
• 33:41
  SPEAKER_01: That's a great yeah, that's a good one for no, I wouldn't.
• 33:46
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah, uh there's there you could do so much better than the cosmic rays.
• 33:51
  SPEAKER_01: But if you need something quick and on the way and keep her going, don't like mobile order and and keep it moving.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry.
• 33:59
  SPEAKER_01: Get yourself some chicken nuggets and and keep going.
• 34:03
  SPEAKER_00: Um it's not great.
• 34:06
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the burgers and hot no, it's not it's not good at all.
• 34:08
  SPEAKER_01: It's mass mass produced and just it's just not good.
• 34:12
  SPEAKER_01: Um, Steakhouse 71, you gave four.
• 34:14
  SPEAKER_01: We love Steakhouse 71 together.
• 34:17
  SPEAKER_01: Uh Storybook Circus, I'm sorry, storybook dining, you gave five.
• 34:21
  SPEAKER_01: And I that's that's fair.
• 34:24
  SPEAKER_01: Like, is like completely like all the way through experience and food?
• 34:28
  SPEAKER_01: Like, yes.
• 34:29
  SPEAKER_01: I I think that deserves five stars for sure.
• 34:32
  SPEAKER_01: And then Wyolulu, you gave three, but it that's because you didn't know that what else was coming, or would that be that was gonna be the last one.
• 34:39
  SPEAKER_01: But I like the fact that we both chose that one for each other.
• 34:42
  SPEAKER_00: Which uh which restaurant out of all these do you think we ranked too high?
• 34:48
  SPEAKER_00: Too high?
• 34:50
  SPEAKER_01: Um and so you got Steakhouse at four and Storybook Dining in five.
• 34:57
  SPEAKER_01: I don't even remember what I picked.
• 34:59
  SPEAKER_01: I gave um 50's prime time four, and then I gave Wild Lulu five, right?
• 35:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, and Raglan three.
• 35:07
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I think I would flip those.
• 35:09
  SPEAKER_01: I think I would give 50's prime probably a five.
• 35:12
  SPEAKER_01: Out of out of what's on the list.
• 35:14
  SPEAKER_01: Um, no, I'm sorry.
• 35:16
  SPEAKER_01: I'm screwing this up.
• 35:17
  SPEAKER_01: Topolinas would be a five.
• 35:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 35:19
  SPEAKER_01: Um 50s prime time would be the four, and then Wild Lulu three.
• 35:23
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then down we go, right?
• 35:25
  SPEAKER_01: And two Raglan, then one Ohana.
• 35:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 35:28
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, there it is.
• 35:29
  SPEAKER_00: Yep, that's exactly it.
• 35:31
  SPEAKER_00: I and so here's the funny thing about this too.
• 35:33
  SPEAKER_00: Like, I would not have given 50s um a five or a four, but it just goes to show you that um user experience may vary.
• 35:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like if you've had fun, if you've if had a great experience, like you know, you really find things about you know, so that you don't you can't always trust the internet because some people don't like big home cooked meals and they don't like to be like yelled at, you know, but other people, you know, like yourself.
• 35:58
  SPEAKER_01: They want to be I'm a 40-year-old man, don't tell me I finished my vegetables.
• 36:02
  SPEAKER_01: Come on.
• 36:03
  SPEAKER_00: I'll put my elbows on the table if I want to.
• 36:06
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 36:07
  SPEAKER_01: Exactly.
• 36:08
  SPEAKER_01: Um yeah.
• 36:09
  SPEAKER_01: For those who don't know, the the the servers there pick on you, like in it, like it's great for the kids because the kids get to see all the things that you tell your kids to do, like finish your vegetables and don't put your elbows on the table and uh drink your milk or whatever it is, with the silly little things like that you tell your kids at dinner time.
• 36:28
  SPEAKER_01: The servers get to pick on the adults and tell them all those things where they are.
• 36:32
  SPEAKER_01: So it's it's a good time for the kids.
• 36:33
  SPEAKER_01: They get to see the key the adults picked on for once.
• 36:37
  SPEAKER_01: But they do have a really nice lounge uh or nice bar out front.
• 36:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um, and they have they have great, fantastic milkshakes.
• 36:47
  SPEAKER_01: Um and do they have malts?
• 36:48
  SPEAKER_01: I think they have malts as well.
• 36:51
  SPEAKER_01: I like that one a lot.
• 36:53
  SPEAKER_01: That's one of my favorites for sure.
• 36:56
  SPEAKER_01: All right, so what um let's see, another question to ask for the for you.
• 37:04
  SPEAKER_01: Did either of us successfully predict five stars?
• 37:07
  SPEAKER_01: I think we did.
• 37:08
  SPEAKER_01: I think that I yeah, I think you yeah, you did.
• 37:10
  SPEAKER_01: We talked about that one already.
• 37:12
  SPEAKER_01: Which one is the hardest one to defend out of all these?
• 37:16
  SPEAKER_01: You gave you you gave BR guest once one's one star, but to someone who really enjoys Beauty and the Beast, that may not be one star.
• 37:27
  SPEAKER_00: I think that would be a tough one to defend, uh, for sure.
• 37:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like, you know, you've got the castle, so you're walking up to the castle, um, it's it's gorgeous.
• 37:36
  SPEAKER_00: The inside is really beautiful, the back room where they have the flower which's dropping the petals, the west wing.
• 37:42
  SPEAKER_00: It's worth going the west wing.
• 37:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yep, yeah.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_00: The west wing.
• 37:44
  SPEAKER_00: It's worth going in there to see.
• 37:46
  SPEAKER_00: If you do happen to see the characters there, I mean it's not character dining, but if you do happen to see the characters, that's extra special.
• 37:53
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, and some people just uh, you know, you don't have to believe me.
• 37:58
  SPEAKER_00: And I would definitely uh have a hard time.
• 38:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um, you know, I wouldn't shy people away from going there, but you know, it's not my favorite.
• 38:07
  SPEAKER_00: Sorry.
• 38:08
  SPEAKER_01: Here's our worst wanking, excuse me, worst ranking awards.
• 38:12
  SPEAKER_01: Uh our biggest robbery.
• 38:14
  SPEAKER_01: I think we talked about it.
• 38:15
  SPEAKER_01: I gave I gave tapolinos a what a one.
• 38:18
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, you did it dirty.
• 38:19
  SPEAKER_01: You did it dirty.
• 38:20
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I did it, I did it way dirty, way dirty.
• 38:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's the biggest robbery of them all.
• 38:24
  SPEAKER_01: What about you?
• 38:25
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, the only robbery I think is uh I don't know, maybe Cosmic Rays got a little too high on the list, you know, because those hot dogs aren't great.
• 38:36
  SPEAKER_00: But I just think it's a it's an it's a nice go-to if you're hungry and you need something fast to to to cover the hangriness.
• 38:46
  SPEAKER_01: Most overrated placement.
• 38:48
  SPEAKER_01: The restaurant placed much higher than it deserved.
• 38:54
  SPEAKER_01: I keep looking at your list.
• 38:56
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I'm looking at my too.
• 38:57
  SPEAKER_00: I'm looking at yours.
• 38:58
  SPEAKER_00: I I honestly feel like um I think we talked about this a little bit.
• 39:02
  SPEAKER_00: In my opinion, 50s is a little overinflated.
• 39:05
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I think that other than that, it's it's mostly right on.
• 39:09
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yours is yours is spot on.
• 39:11
  SPEAKER_01: I can't I can't even argue with yours.
• 39:13
  SPEAKER_01: I can't even I hate that you're good at this game because I made it up and you you won at it.
• 39:18
  SPEAKER_01: Uh all right, so the worst decision of this episode.
• 39:22
  SPEAKER_01: That's I mean, that's the regrettable individual placement.
• 39:25
  SPEAKER_01: That that goes to me.
• 39:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm the winner of that.
• 39:27
  SPEAKER_01: I gave one of my favorite restaurants a one.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_01: I gave it a one because I because I didn't know what was coming next or anything.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, that's my fault.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_01: My bad.
• 39:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'm sorry, Tapolinos.
• 39:39
  SPEAKER_00: All right, restaurant you never need to visit again.
• 39:42
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, be our guest.
• 39:44
  SPEAKER_00: Be our guest.
• 39:46
  SPEAKER_00: And then uh restaurant you would book tonight if we were heading there.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_00: Steakhouse 71.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_01: Duh.
• 39:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's sweet.
• 39:54
  SPEAKER_01: We love it there.
• 39:55
  SPEAKER_01: We love it there.
• 39:57
  SPEAKER_01: We met so many friends, we met so many other like other travel advisors there, and we just networked.
• 40:03
  SPEAKER_01: And um it's something that like we being in the army and working for the fire department, like networking and business talk, and so this that's not usually stuff that you and I could talk about at all.
• 40:14
  SPEAKER_01: But we we made uh we made it a good time.
• 40:18
  SPEAKER_00: We sure did, yeah.
• 40:19
  SPEAKER_00: And then the the the service and the food and the drinks, and like you said, the the the bourbon.
• 40:25
  SPEAKER_00: Like you can't go wrong.
• 40:26
  SPEAKER_02: Mm-mm.
• 40:27
  SPEAKER_00: No.
• 40:28
  SPEAKER_01: Uh okay.
• 40:29
  SPEAKER_01: Our last last one on this list.
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_01: The we have to explain this online award, the ranking most likely to upset upset Disney fans.
• 40:39
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, I think we're going back to Tapolino's and be our guest.
• 40:42
  SPEAKER_00: I think they want to know, they want to know the reasons why.
• 40:46
  SPEAKER_00: I think I think people would be mad about Ohana too.
• 40:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um because I don't know, man.
• 40:51
  SPEAKER_00: I think Ohana used to be good, and people kind of have, I don't know.
• 40:55
  SPEAKER_00: I the last time we've been there for drinks at the Ohana bar there, I it still looks like it's pretty busy in there.
• 41:01
  SPEAKER_00: So maybe, maybe people are still digging it.
• 41:04
  SPEAKER_00: All right.
• 41:05
  SPEAKER_00: I think uh I think we're gonna close it out.
• 41:07
  SPEAKER_00: Um so what do we learn today, Pete?
• 41:10
  SPEAKER_00: Never give a restaurant five stars without knowing what's coming next.
• 41:15
  SPEAKER_01: We also learned that neither of us should trust one another under pressure.
• 41:19
  SPEAKER_01: Especially when food is involved.
• 41:21
  SPEAKER_00: Some great restaurants were ranked where far too low.
• 41:24
  SPEAKER_00: That's my fault.
• 41:25
  SPEAKER_00: Some average restaurants benefited from timing fear and terrible judgment.
• 41:32
  SPEAKER_01: Which is basically how most Disney dining experiences at reservations are made, because you either you have help from Pete and I, or you just go and totally blind, like what we did just now.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_00: Right.
• 41:42
  SPEAKER_00: You're six, it's it's six in the morning, 60 days before the trip with barely conscious, and you're making life decisions.
• 41:50
  SPEAKER_00: That's right.
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_01: You have to stick with the decision.
• 41:52
  SPEAKER_01: It's 60 days out, right?
• 41:54
  SPEAKER_01: It's gonna stick with you forever.
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_01: Remember, these are not our real rankings that we just mentioned.
• 41:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, the game forced us to do it.
• 42:02
  SPEAKER_01: Send us your rankings uh in the Gmail that I mentioned.
• 42:05
  SPEAKER_01: Hit us up online.
• 42:06
  SPEAKER_01: I'm uh at underscore at five underscore on the underscore fly on Instagram.
• 42:15
  SPEAKER_01: And I'm PetriMax at Instagram.
• 42:18

• 42:20
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, so reach out and let us know which restaurant actually deserves five stars.
• 42:26
  SPEAKER_01: Let us know what uh what blind ranking should we we should do next.
