  SPEAKER_02: This is uh not modern Disney, this is Disney in the 1980s, well, Disney World in the 1980s.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_02: So here's what I'm gonna do.
• 1:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'm gonna ask you guys each a question, and you're gonna buzz in with whatever buzz sound you decide, and you'll have uh after I ask the question, there'll be about 15-20 seconds for you guys to think on it and then buzz in.
• 1:58
  SPEAKER_02: Whoever buzzes in first gets a chance to answer the question.
• 2:02
  SPEAKER_02: And then if you get it wrong, it goes to the next contestant, and you'll get a point for that.
• 2:06
  SPEAKER_02: So there's no lifelines, there's no phones, none of that.
• 2:09
  SPEAKER_02: No, there's not.
• 2:10
  SPEAKER_02: Um you're gonna go with confidence without accuracy.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_02: Um and you maybe not one to fact check in real time.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: That's right.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_02: Um, so you know what?

  SPEAKER_02: Here we go.
• 2:21
  SPEAKER_02: So I'm excited.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_02: I'm excited for you to dig deep and trust your memory.
• 2:25
  SPEAKER_02: And remember, history doesn't care how many times you visited, it only cares if you were paying attention.
• 2:31
  SPEAKER_02: So here we go.
• 2:32
  SPEAKER_02: You guys ready?
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: Are you ready?
• 2:33
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, you should cross this that on a sampler, by the way.
• 2:36
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my gosh.
• 2:37
  SPEAKER_02: I should.
• 2:38
  SPEAKER_02: All right, here we go.
• 2:40
  SPEAKER_02: Question one: in what year did Disney start to drop the center off of Epcot?
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_02: In what year was it officially Epcot?
• 2:49
  SPEAKER_02: So there's two parts of that question.
• 2:51
  SPEAKER_02: What year did it start to phase out, and what year was it officially Epcot without the center?
• 2:58
  SPEAKER_02: Oh boy.
• 3:00
  SPEAKER_02: The timer has started.
• 3:04
  SPEAKER_03: Well, infinity and beyond.
• 3:06
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, is that your oh okay.
• 3:09
  SPEAKER_03: That's how I buzz.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_03: All right, that's what your buzz is.
• 3:11
  SPEAKER_03: I see what you're doing.
• 3:12
  SPEAKER_03: Oh, wow, that was clever.
• 3:14
  SPEAKER_01: So very clever.
• 3:15
  SPEAKER_03: All right, that's how I'm buzzing.
• 3:17
  SPEAKER_03: Um, I am gonna sheer guess, which will probably mean that Mr.
• 3:22
  SPEAKER_03: Rutherford gets to steal this question.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna go with since this is Disney in the 80s, open in October of 82.
• 3:29
  SPEAKER_03: I'm gonna say they they started phasing it out around 87 and it was gone by 89.
• 3:37
  SPEAKER_02: That is incorrect.
• 3:38
  SPEAKER_02: This is a trick question, too, because uh Mr.
• 3:41
  SPEAKER_02: Rutherford, do you care to try to do I get a chance?
• 3:45
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 3:46
  SPEAKER_01: Strangely enough, those were wow.
• 3:49
  SPEAKER_02: Uh so I should say, I should preface this.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_02: They might this the I should have thought these are 80s-centric, but sometimes the they bleed over.
• 4:01
  SPEAKER_01: It happened to be to times to times past the the 80s, like in the second part of this question.
• 4:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.
• 4:10
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_02: Uh this I this I would have gotten wrong too, because I thought it was much earlier than it was.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_03: It is oddly specific, Tristan.
• 4:19
  SPEAKER_03: Yes.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_03: I told you for question number one, where are we getting?
• 4:23
  SPEAKER_03: I'm like, how many visitors came to the park on Tuesday?
• 4:26
  SPEAKER_02: Some are golf balls, I will promise you.
• 4:28
  SPEAKER_02: But some thank you.
• 4:30
  SPEAKER_01: Oh my gosh.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: Okay.
• 4:31
  SPEAKER_01: Well, let me get my answer done so we can move on.
• 4:33
  SPEAKER_01: Let's see.
• 4:34
  SPEAKER_01: I would say uh for the beginning, uh, let's see.
• 4:39
  SPEAKER_01: Can you repeat the question, please?
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yes, I'll repeat the question.
• 4:42
  SPEAKER_02: So, in what year did Disney start to drop the center from its title?
• 4:47
  SPEAKER_02: In what year was it official?
• 4:49
  SPEAKER_02: Like which Oh, okay.
• 4:53
  SPEAKER_02: You can, you know what?
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: You can answer both.
• 4:54
  SPEAKER_02: I realize this was a tough question, but I thought we'd start off with this.
• 4:58
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I thought, you know, oh, I thought that when it came back, because that was in more recent times, but oh um, just to answer it, I will say uh oh 1986 and uh 1987, and it came back in like 2000 uh in the 2010s.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: So this was a tough way to start, guys, and I apologize.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 5:23
  SPEAKER_01: Uh no, really, this makes me look forward to every question we're gonna have.
• 5:27
  SPEAKER_01: No, no, no, and we're gonna learn so much.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, we are.
• 5:31
  SPEAKER_01: Well, that's a good thing.
• 5:32
  SPEAKER_01: I'm I'm all for that.
• 5:33
  SPEAKER_02: So the first time that the Disney company started to mention this is I'll I'll tell you the kind of history I learned on this.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_02: The first time Disney started to mention that they were gonna drop the center was in 1989.
• 5:46
  SPEAKER_02: Okay, and it started to trickle off of advertising in 1993, 1994, and then it was on by 1996.
• 5:56
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, okay.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_03: Well, good.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_03: Well, good now.
• 5:58
  SPEAKER_03: So it took them like four years to even think about it, really.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_03: Or four years to think about it.
• 6:04
  SPEAKER_02: But it was funny to me because it illustrated Disney and how long sometimes things take.
• 6:08
  SPEAKER_02: So that took from 89 to 96 before it was yeah.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: So there you go.
• 6:13
  SPEAKER_02: I promise they're not all like that, but I was but I like that one.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_01: Thank you.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_03: So now I'm in trouble for a challenge.

  SPEAKER_02: It was in 2008 when they made the change and started to phase it out.
• 10:07
  SPEAKER_02: I probably because of the 20, I'm guessing it was a 20-year thing, so they had to do it before.

• 38:55
  SPEAKER_03: Oh my god, one of the best things they ever served prior to the corndog, Tristan, and I think I've talked about it before, was two giant warm, freshly baked chocolate chip cookies.

  SPEAKER_01: Ice cream, it was Nestle Tollhouse.
• 39:08
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, that was the name of the place, was the or as Phoebe would say, Nestle Tollhouse Tolo's Toloz, Toloz there because you fellas, we'll get on a little bit of a tangent here for a minute, but because you guys, you know, you've been going for so long, even though you're young men, you've been going since the since dirt was new, yes.
• 39:31
  SPEAKER_02: I remember dirt when it was new, which you play for.
• 39:35
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, all of those parks have had, especially Epcot and Magic Kingdom, they've all like seen such a transformation, but which one in your eyes has seen like the biggest transformation since that time?
• 39:48
  SPEAKER_02: Brett.
• 39:50
  SPEAKER_01: I think um Epcot, you know, that it was the whole idea behind Epcot was a uh was infotainment and it was a way to learn about things, and yet uh because you really did learn about things at the beginning, you know, and uh it was it was basically a permanent um world's fair, and uh it was a permanent world's fair that um you know highlighted countries and then also the new newest, latest, greatest in technology, and I loved all of that.
• 40:22
  SPEAKER_01: And then that wasn't good enough for the people, and the people required roller coasters, and then everything was ruined.
• 40:32
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 40:34
  SPEAKER_03: Wow.
• 40:35
  SPEAKER_03: So I'm like going, I'm like going, you know, I was actually gonna I do I do understand where Brett is coming from.
• 40:43
  SPEAKER_03: I truly do.
• 40:44
  SPEAKER_03: I was actually gonna say Magic Kingdom just from the standpoint when you when you were talking about like how things have changed, and when I think back to the tomorrow land of like the 70s that had the two tall towers on either side of the entryway with the water cascading down, and you know, just how all of that stuff has changed over the years, and how new fantasy land came apart, you know, became a a thing, and and now even you know, looking forward at like villains land and stuff, it's like I but I I but I completely defer to our guests who who clearly is horrified by the evolution of Epcot.
• 41:27
  SPEAKER_01: It's okay, you know.
• 41:29
  SPEAKER_01: I'm just like they now have a bar.
• 41:30
  SPEAKER_01: But when when you could learn things, it was so wonderful.
• 41:36
  SPEAKER_03: I learned which whiskey I'm like I learned which whiskey I liked best at Epcot recently at the GO82.
• 41:45
  SPEAKER_02: Um is it going is there something that's like you know, on it like on its way that has you excited?
• 41:51
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, I'm kind of curious about piston peak myself, but like you know, what have you got looking forward to?
• 41:56
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like going.
• 41:57
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, you know, every yeah, I say everyone, I can't make it such a generalization.
• 42:03
  SPEAKER_01: Let's just say those that those Disney fans that get terribly upset when one of their quote-unquote, I'm using air quotes now, um, beloved attractions goes away in and to make room for something new.
• 42:19
  SPEAKER_01: My guess is Disney doing its due diligence and research and everything that it does.
• 42:25
  SPEAKER_01: If people were going to them, they'd still be there.
• 42:29
  SPEAKER_01: So, you know, so that's so I'm looking forward to everything that is new in in Magic Kingdom.
• 42:34
  SPEAKER_01: So, which I you know that's another thing too.
• 42:36
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like going over the years, we dropped the we dropped the article because it was the Magic Kingdom, and now it's just Magic Kingdom.
• 42:45
  SPEAKER_03: So it was too hard for the people to say.
• 42:48
  SPEAKER_01: The people didn't want to say the article of introduction because it is not, yeah.
• 42:54
  SPEAKER_01: Anyway, so so yeah, I like you know, I can't wait to see that in Villains Land.
• 43:00
  SPEAKER_01: You know, I mean we hear little bits, you know, drips and drabs, you know.
• 43:04
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, we're going to have villains land, and then Josh Tomorrow says, No, we're going to have a bigger, better, you know.
• 43:09
  SPEAKER_01: So that'll be interesting.
• 43:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like going, and apparently there is some sort of construction in the um, and I don't think anything has been announced, but you know, the idea of a um hotel structure that is adjacent to a to Magic Kingdom would be kind of cool.
• 43:30
  SPEAKER_01: So I don't know why they wouldn't do that.
• 43:32
  SPEAKER_01: It's uh yeah, anyway.
• 43:35
  SPEAKER_01: Who knows?
• 43:36
  SPEAKER_01: Those those whisper forward to there's a lot of whispers out there.
• 43:41
  SPEAKER_02: There's a whisper about a haunted mansions refurbishment right now.
• 43:45
  SPEAKER_02: They're trying, there's some talk that the one side is they're gonna kind of make it look a little more uh to my whole piston peak situation.
• 43:56
  SPEAKER_02: And I was like, how in the hell are you gonna do that?
• 43:58
  SPEAKER_02: Because I don't even know how.
• 44:00
  SPEAKER_02: Like I get it, but like I I uh I'm hoping that that's not true.
• 44:04
  SPEAKER_02: But there's uh that bio reconstruction.
• 44:06
  SPEAKER_01: I'm like going well, back to Disney history.
• 44:10
  SPEAKER_01: Let's just say the whole idea of placemaking went entirely away when um when they built the dolphin and the swan, because uh the eyesore from i4 before uh before before they built uh the dolphin and the swan, which was was a way to placate the Tishman company um in order to avoid very nasty lawsuits.
• 44:38
  SPEAKER_01: And anyway, so they built those and then um sight lines went away.
• 44:43
  SPEAKER_01: So anyway, but so anyway, so back to your answer.
• 44:46
  SPEAKER_01: Don't mess with what's great, make sure that it's better if you're gonna do something.
• 44:51
  SPEAKER_02: I like that.
