- 0:09Of course you know this fella here, Mickey Mouse, the
- 0:13inimitable little character that started this whole story with
- 0:16Walt Disney? Hang on, pal, here we go.
- 0:22Mickey and I started out the first time many, many years ago.
- 0:29Mickey, at heart, was an unselfish little guy.
- 0:31He wanted to help others find a place in the limelight, too.
- 0:35Hand me Hardy being only a mouse, I guess it's honest to
- 0:40say he enjoyed all his newfound fate.
- 0:43What would you like to have me draw Mickey Mouse?
- 0:46Mickey. Mouse.
- 0:48And now they're all waiting for Mickey himself.
- 0:51Here he comes. The story of Mickey is
- 0:58truthfully, the real beginning of Disney.
- 1:06Mickey's look has changed throughout the years, but
- 1:08somehow Mickey Mouse has managed to remain a pop culture icon.
- 1:13He started as his simple character, but over time he
- 1:17becomes this reflection of who we are.
- 1:21Three simple circles, probably the most universal symbol ever
- 1:27created. After all the years, he's still
- 1:31here. Mickey is a thing we all shared.
- 1:35I love you matey. When you wish upon A star, your
- 1:42dreams come true. I only hope that we never lose
- 1:49sight of one thing that was all started by a mouse.

- 2:47very nice, very nice. Actually, I know look how close
- 2:51I am to can you can you bring me back a little bit or I don't
- 2:58think I don't think I can do anything about that.
- 3:01But in the meantime, I will say hello and welcome everybody to

- 3:31So welcome everybody to this Christmas edition.
- 3:34Lawrence Christmas is my favorite.
- 3:37How? How could you go wrong with
- 3:38Christmas? Listen, the Christmas tree's
- 3:41already been up for 15 days, 16 days.
- 3:45Couldn't, couldn't wait for that.
- 3:47So Tammy should be prepared for another November 2nd putting up
- 3:51of the tree. Yeah, it's funny, it's ironic.
- 3:53I put the Christmas tree up the same day Disney did unplanned.
- 3:58But you know, in Magic Kingdom, people are all crazy and mad
- 4:02that Disney took one extra day to put those decorations up.
- 4:07But in a way, what percentage of people do you think scheduled
- 4:12their trips where they they were going to be here until through
- 4:19the 1st, but leave on the 2nd And they thought for sure, I'm
- 4:23going to see Halloween and I'm going to see Christmas that
- 4:26Magic Kingdom. And then they were disappointed.
- 4:30I'm sure there was a a percentage of people.
- 4:32The good thing is they told us early on, look, it's not going
- 4:38to change over on the first like normal.
- 4:40We're going to take an extra day.
- 4:43But a lot of people didn't listen.
- 4:45Yeah, but they did. They put that out.
- 4:46There. Well, do people listen?
- 4:51People don't listen, No. So happy birthday to Mickey,
- 4:55man. Aw, Mickey's my guy.
- 4:58I don't know. When I decided that I was all in
- 5:02on Mickey. Like Mickey is my Disney
- 5:06character. No one's close to Mickey.
- 5:10For me, it's Mickey. He's, he's the, he's the big
- 5:12cheese. Mickey's my guy is, you know, I
- 5:15think I don't know. I don't always tend to go for
- 5:17the, the, the front man. But with The Muppets, I do too.
- 5:21Kermit's my guy is so I know, I know Kermit's your guy.
- 5:25So is Mickey your guy too when it comes to to I know.
- 5:29Technically Kermit's Disney, but he wasn't at one point.
- 5:34Man, I don't know, I think if it wasn't Kermit.
- 5:37So like, you know, you have to pick your character for your My
- 5:40Disney Experience app. It's Kermit.
- 5:43Yeah, my mine is Mickey. If it wasn't Muppet.
- 5:47If Muppets wasn't part of Disney, who would I pick?
- 5:51I would say if I had to pick today, probably Donald.
- 5:56Probably Donald. Wow, is that why you you dressed
- 6:00up like Donald? Well, I think now because of
- 6:03that, I think it would be him I think had.
- 6:05Not done. That, yeah, I think had I not
- 6:08done that and he not responded the way he did in the parade, it
- 6:13would probably, probably be Mickey.
- 6:15Yeah. Yeah, it's, it's interesting,
- 6:18right? Interesting question.
- 6:20I don't plan this, but you know, I don't know at what point the
- 6:25light bulb came on. I'm like Mickey's my guy.
- 6:28I love Mickey, you know? Yeah, like you said, you can't
- 6:31go wrong with Mickey. No, Mickey.
- 6:36Mickey is just like the fairy says in the beginning of
- 6:40Starlight. Mickey encapsulates all that is
- 6:43good. Yes he does.
- 6:46Yes, he you can't go wrong. Now, back in the day.
- 6:50Back in the day, it was a different story.
- 6:52Early Mickey was like Donald. Yes, yes.
- 6:56And, and, and Walt decided you and I know this.
- 7:01Walt decided this is not the direction we want Mickey to
- 7:04continue in. He needs to be all that is good.
- 7:06Let's create a character that can have these other behaviors
- 7:11and emotions, right? And we'll name him.
- 7:12We'll name him Donald. Yeah, instead of Mortimer.
- 7:18Right. Could you imagine if his name
- 7:20was Mortimer? I know, but we would have.
- 7:25We wouldn't even have questioned it though.
- 7:27No, you're right still. You're right, right?
- 7:29We we wouldn't have questioned it, but still, Mickey rolls off
- 7:32the tongue a lot easier than Mortimer.
- 7:33Yeah, maybe it would have been Morty.
- 7:37Maybe he would have saw. Yeah, I could have, could have
- 7:38morphed into that, Yeah. And if you're, you know, but if
- 7:42you're from Massachusetts or New England, it'd be like, you know,
- 7:47what would you say? Mortimer.
- 7:48Mortimer. Mortimer.
- 7:49There goes Mortimer. Hey, did you see Mortimer?
- 7:51I met Mortimer just now. Steven Singleton, hello from
- 7:56Wyoming. Well, well, well, welcome to the
- 7:59chat. How's the weather out there?
- 8:02So excuse me, we have a couple, yeah, couple things we want to
- 8:08talk about. Obviously we want to talk about
- 8:11festival of the holidays. Almost called it two different
- 8:13festivals just now. Oh, am I rubbing off on you?
- 8:17I just, I was going to call the food and wine, I was going to
- 8:20call it Festival of the Arts. I don't know.
- 8:24So anyway, we're going to talk about festival, the holidays.
- 8:26We're going to do a preview of everything that that has to
- 8:29offer. And I had some travel deals that
- 8:33I want to cover as well. But did you see Epcot last night
- 8:40or the night before? No, I have not laid eyes on
- 8:44Epcot. I haven't even stepped in foot
- 8:47in Epcot in a while. Folks were waiting 345 hours.
- 8:53Oh yes, Tammy showed me. That's horrendous.
- 8:57That was crazy. Five hours, the line score.
- 9:01Jason was there last night and he got into to the show.
- 9:05Can't remember what show it was the 5:30 or whatever time that
- 9:07is when they left there, they walked back out of World
- 9:11Showcase through Mexico. People were in Mexico lined up.
- 9:17I mean, that is far more than the Boys to Men concerts.
- 9:23So that was that was pretty crazy.
- 9:27It was, it was an absolute bad house.
- 9:29But they Beach Boys and and John Stamos did the thing that was
- 9:34that was really good. Well, there's, I think there's
- 9:37only one main reason why that that goes to show you how many
- 9:41people love John Stamos, right? Yeah, and he did a good job and
- 9:47he played different instruments and he sang and but the set that
- 9:52I watched, it was it's Beach Boys.
- 9:56Most of us know the their hits, but they played every This is
- 10:01what I what I love. They didn't stop.
- 10:03There was really no chitchat. It was go, go, go.
- 10:06And it was all the hits. You knew every song there.
- 10:09And they didn't do any covers either.
- 10:11It was all their song. So I thought that was, I thought
- 10:14that was that was great. That was great performance,
- 10:16probably one of the best I've I've seen.
- 10:19So so let's talk about some some travel deals.
- 10:27We don't normally do this, but there's, you know, I want people
- 10:31to know that yes, Disney is expensive, but there are ways to
- 10:35save some money for sure. You know we can't all be like
- 10:41Cory and live close to the parks.
- 10:45I know. So first of all friend in the
- 10:50chat non sponsored Nick and Shannon from either their
- 10:55travel. They have offered a deal where
- 11:00if you book with them to Disney, you're going to get up to a
- 11:04$75.00 gift card. If you're staying four nights
- 11:07with Universal, $75.00 gift card, and with the cruises,
- 11:12you'll get a $75 onboard credit. So if you're looking for a deal,
- 11:19make sure to reach out to them. Of course, their services, their
- 11:21travel agent earmarked by Disney.
- 11:24So their services do not cost you anything extra, but here you
- 11:29are getting $75 extra. And if you book through one of
- 11:33their YouTube friends, which are all people from the Disney
- 11:36Streamer Network, you'll get a bonus $25.00.
- 11:42So make sure to check them out. Nick and Shannon from either
- 11:47their travel. On top of that, Frontier just
- 11:52today announced the Go Wild Pass, normally 599 for a year,
- 11:57349 now. And it's not an annual pass
- 12:02because it's actually from today, it'll last you all the
- 12:06way till April of 2027. So you're looking to travel.
- 12:11That's a pretty good deal for $350.00, any of their hundred
- 12:15destinations. When you get on the flight, all
- 12:18you're going to pay is when you book the flight, you're going to
- 12:21pay a penny plus taxes, which is like $16.00.
- 12:26So you're going to fly wherever they fly for 16 bucks.
- 12:33There's some some details about it.
- 12:37You can use early booking for even earlier flights because
- 12:39normally you can only book it like one day before, which is
- 12:43the only real problem. So you got to be really flexible
- 12:46or just book early for a little bit of of a fee.
- 12:50I did not buy mine yet. Yeah, I will be buying it as
- 12:53soon as we end the show. Also, Disney's doing a military
- 12:59salute ticket 4-5 and six day tickets as low as 449.
- 13:07And then they also have this crazy one for 499.
- 13:13It's basically January 1st through December 18th with a
- 13:16with some blackout dates there for 499.
- 13:20They can go almost every day. It's like an annual pass to the
- 13:24park. Now they don't get the perks
- 13:25that annual pass holders do, but they get park entry for 499 for
- 13:31almost the entire year. And that's for military and
- 13:35their families. So that's that's pretty cool.
- 13:38I've never seen have you have I've never seen a deal that like
- 13:41that. No, never.
- 13:44Nuts. Never.
- 13:45Never. But you know, veterans deserve
- 13:49anything that they can. They can.
- 13:51They can be offered, you know what I mean?
- 13:54Yep, 100. Percent.
- 13:55Totally, totally on board with that.
- 13:57Including if they want to go on a cruise, $250 on board credit
- 14:01for military. Your deposit is only 50% of what
- 14:06a a normal deposit is. Florida residents can save 35%
- 14:12and then you also have some special voyages that are 35% off
- 14:19annual pass holders. You can get up to 35% at Aulani.
- 14:23You get 35% off of rooms at Disney World.
- 14:25Make sure to take a look at that.
- 14:27And even Georgia residents can't get a deal.
- 14:30And most of us that subscribe to Disney Plus, there's even a deal
- 14:34for you. So make sure to take advantage
- 14:37of that. If you're looking to go to
- 14:38Disney, book with Nick and Shannon from either their travel
- 14:43and they can get you any of those deals.
- 14:48All right. Oh, that nitty gritty man.
- 14:53Here we go. My specialty, My favorite.
- 14:56This is what he's here for. I'm just here for the food, just
- 15:00everyone food. I did tell Melanie about that.
- 15:05Yes. Yeah.
- 15:06Any any of our military friends let them know about that deal.
- 15:11All right, so here's what we're going to do.
- 15:12We're going to talk about the Candlelight Processional.
- 15:14We're going to talk about Joyful.
- 15:15The story tells all the entertainment where you can see
- 15:18Santa, the greenhouse, the scavenger hunt, photo moments
- 15:24and the Cookie stroll and then holiday kitchens Candlelight
- 15:29Processional. What was?
- 15:31Excuse me, who was the narrator on the last one that you went
- 15:34to? Do you remember?
- 15:36Daniel's son, Ralph Macchio. Amazing.
- 15:42We just love seeing we seeing him.
- 15:44Here's what I love about these. You have a wide variety of
- 15:49folks, right? Because it's not like they have
- 15:51to be a singer. It's not like the concerts,
- 15:54right? They're narrating.
- 15:55So it's a little bit different for the Candlelight Processional
- 15:58because they're narrating and they put their own little spin
- 16:00on it. They tell their own little story
- 16:03about, you know, their love of Disney and, and, and whatnot.
- 16:08But the performances that the orchestra and the choir do, just
- 16:14amazing. I'm thinking I'm going to see it
- 16:21on the 13th. I've never seen one in person,
- 16:26and this would actually be the first thing that I've seen at
- 16:29the American Pavilion. So because I've never done a
- 16:33concert. That's crazy.
- 16:35I know. I, I, I, I don't even.
- 16:37I can't even comprehend that. I know, I know.
- 16:40It's nuts. So yeah, I'll be checking that
- 16:44out. Joyful.
- 16:44I have seen them. They are phenomenal.
- 16:48They'll be. Oh yeah, Did we see that with
- 16:50you? I want to say yes, I think so.
- 16:54I feel, yes, they were really good.
- 16:56I didn't mean to interrupt you, but yes, they were very good,
- 16:58very enjoyable. We spent a little time showing
- 17:00them on a live stream one time and yeah, you might have been
- 17:04with us. I I feel like if not, I was
- 17:08right there with you. Hey, the live streams, the live
- 17:11streams. I hear living Indies are so good
- 17:13at their live streams that people actually come up to me
- 17:16and say I'm not sure if I saw this on your live stream or I
- 17:20experienced it in person. It happens.
- 17:24Well, certainly happens for me, because I'm sitting here
- 17:26watching the whole thing in glorious.
- 17:29Well, it's just like, it's just like I was so embedded.
- 17:31I was so embedded with Jacob's content from Japan.
- 17:34I do feel like I was there. I feel like I went to Japan
- 17:37already. Oh boy, yeah.
- 17:41So the 13th, what day is that? That is a Saturdays.
- 17:45Yes. Is that the day of the meet up?
- 17:48Yes. Well, OK, then I'd like to hang
- 17:56out with you for the day, you know.
- 17:59That's why I asked you the day we already planned this.
- 18:01He doesn't remember we already planned this.
- 18:04Well, we talked about it, but I didn't know where you were going
- 18:07after that. Like I was like, oh, we're going
- 18:09to we'll we're just going to we'll, we'll do the meet up,
- 18:11we'll show the gingerbread stuff at Boardwalk, and then we'll
- 18:14come into Epcot for the night. So good.
- 18:17All right, you're welcome to join all.
- 18:20Right. Cool.
- 18:21So yeah, they are great with gospel, R&B and holiday songs.
- 18:28So yeah, you'll get to see them on the 13th.
- 18:30If you don't see them before that.
- 18:33The storytellers, I have stopped to watch one or two of these.
- 18:39Not many, but I know people really love these.
- 18:43So they will be sharing holiday legends and lore from around the
- 18:48world. These will be in Mexico, Norway,
- 18:51China, Italy, Japan, between Morocco and France, in France,
- 18:56the UK and Canada. I would probably caution people
- 19:00if you want to see the storytellers, you got to go
- 19:03early because I have never seen a storyteller because I don't
- 19:07show up at Epcot till after 3456.
- 19:13And I feel like that they stopped fairly early, possibly
- 19:16on a Saturdays if we got there. They I, I does.
- 19:21Is there a schedule for that yet?
- 19:22Like I don't know if maybe the end, I guess the end, they might
- 19:26end at like 4 or something like that.
- 19:28But I mean, if we want to go capture that, which I'd like to
- 19:31hear a story or two, we might have to just go a little earlier
- 19:34on The Saturdays and check them out.
- 19:36Yeah, yeah, that's a good idea. Yeah, they are.
- 19:40They're a lot of fun people. People love them.
- 19:45If you want to see Santa, he will be at Communica Hall
- 19:50between day or daily I should say now through the 24th of
- 19:55December and those are the times that he will appear.
- 19:59Obviously taking breaks to feed the reindeer in between then you
- 20:03know, because they get hungry. So between 10:00 and 4:00, make
- 20:07sure to check out Santa. We did that one year we were
- 20:11there and it was phenomenal. Best Santa we've ever seen.
- 20:17So this will be the first time that they've done this with
- 20:19Communicore then, right? What did they even do for
- 20:24Christmas? Yes, last.
- 20:25Year last year was the the the gingerbread spaceship Earth.
- 20:31Yes, it was. And nothing really special
- 20:35around that. No.
- 20:37Yeah. So this will be cool.
- 20:39It'll be cool to see how they decorate.
- 20:41I would think they'd go all out for that being Santa. 100%.
- 20:45So I'm interested to see what that looks like.
- 20:48So here's why Santa's been kicked out of the Odyssey and
- 20:51moved over to Communicore Hall. Because Santa Goofy is going to
- 20:55be at the Odyssey. Oh, now I want to meet Santa
- 20:58Goofy. But I think he's actually
- 21:02outside. I don't think he's inside, if I
- 21:03remember correctly, but he will be appearing between 11:30 and
- 21:073:30 and then four P 410 to 710. So go check out Santa Goofy over
- 21:13there at the Odyssey. Go goofy.
- 21:19Greenhouses will be coming back, of course, November 28th through
- 21:24December 30th. It's funny what adding some
- 21:28Christmas lights do to that attraction.
- 21:32Oh, it pluses it up and it multiplies it.
- 21:36Forget about plussing. It multiplies it.
- 21:39I, I love it. I, I love it.
- 21:42It's so beautiful. It makes you want them to light
- 21:46it up year round. So if you, if you want Christmas
- 21:49to be special, do it the way you do it, but find another way to
- 21:53just light it up in the evening. Else why?
- 21:57You know, just pick a couple colors or even white lights or
- 22:00something to go along and make it nice.
- 22:03But I guess if you don't do that the whole year, that makes this
- 22:06even that much more special. That's true.
- 22:07But I I do love it. Can't wait for that.
- 22:10So the 28th. Yeah, get my calendar out.
- 22:12I'm going to keep my calendar handy. 28th.
- 22:16Oh, so that's day one of the festival.
- 22:20So of course, every festival you have a scavenger hunt.
- 22:24This one is no different. You will have Olaf's Holiday
- 22:28Tradition Expedition. You'll see in the window.
- 22:31That's what you're looking for essentially throughout World
- 22:36Showcase. I feel like most of them are
- 22:41outside, though. It's funny that that one seems
- 22:44to be in the window because I think they're all outside, but
- 22:49OK, I don't remember. Well, they always, they always
- 22:54put that stuff where you can't touch it.
- 22:57That's for sure. Yes, that's right.
- 22:59Here's a couple of the Christmas or festival, the holiday photo
- 23:03OPS. So you have Figment in his
- 23:06holiday sweater. You have Olaf back there with
- 23:12Sven and Bean Bunny. Oh, Bunny.
- 23:20That's a different yeah. Get in, get in some love in
- 23:27Epcot. So that's pretty cool.
- 23:31It is I, I, I think all these little things of Muppets and
- 23:34they're on, they're on a bunch of pins this coming year and all
- 23:37that kind of think that's Disney's way of feeling guilty
- 23:43that they took Muppets 3D away. And let me just, let's just try
- 23:47to interject Muppets wherever we can because we didn't, we didn't
- 23:50do it before. Yeah, yeah.
- 23:52But that's awesome. Anytime we see The Muppets pop
- 23:54up, we love that. Absolutely.
- 23:59All right, that's it. Show's over, folks.
- 24:02Have a good day. Oh, I'm taking over.
- 24:06Go go jump on that couch back there.
- 24:07Grab a yoohoo, have Catherine rub your feet.
- 24:10I'm going to talk about some food.
- 24:13There he goes. Everybody, we'll start with this
- 24:16trio right here of chocolatey treats.
- 24:20Oh, that looks good. That looks good.
- 24:23There he is. He's got his yoohoo.
- 24:25That does look good. I did, I did like that one.
- 24:28All right, so first we're going to cover the cookie Stroll.
- 24:33Those of you that don't know, Epcot does a cookie stroll
- 24:37during the festival of the holidays.
- 24:39Purchase any 5 cookies or any five cookie stroll menu items
- 24:44and there will be a We don't know what it is right at the
- 24:48end. We don't know what the prize is
- 24:51yet. No, and I always like to remind
- 24:53people because I only learned of this just a few years ago.
- 24:56If you just want to like be done with, you could do the cookie
- 25:00stroll, but you could literally just go buy 5 Linzer cookies and
- 25:04you're done. You don't.
- 25:05We, we used to think you had to buy the individual cookies,
- 25:09which if you're doing the cookie stroll, you kind of want to do
- 25:12that, but you might come across a cookie or two that just
- 25:14doesn't, you know, you're not going to like it.
- 25:16So you can just buy a couple others to make up for it and
- 25:19still go claim your prize. Yep, 100%.
- 25:23Are you moving on from cookies from here, or are you expanding
- 25:25on it? Nope, I got a couple I'm going
- 25:27to show. All right, because I'm not done
- 25:29talking about cookies. So here's a couple new ones for
- 25:34you. The prototype cookie, the ginger
- 25:39molasses cookie is new, and then you have the salted caramel
- 25:42spaceship Earth cookie. These are going to be over at
- 25:46Experimental Prototype Cookies of tomorrow.
- 25:50That's worse. Let's see.
- 25:52I'm just trying to fix my camera a little bit.
- 25:56Listen, I'm just so happy that they hey look more, more of me.
- 26:02I'm just so happy that new cookies have come out.
- 26:06It's, it's the, it's the, it's the year of dis man.
- 26:09Whatever we say happens. Maybe I'm just clairvoyant and
- 26:13I'm just saying what's going to happen, but I hope it's going to
- 26:15happen. We've been barking about new
- 26:17cookies for years, for years. It's, it's one of the easiest
- 26:21things to do. There's a million cookies out
- 26:22there. You know, we can switch this up.
- 26:25It doesn't have to be every year, but we, we, they should
- 26:27switch it up. And I'm so glad.
- 26:28I'm going to commend Disney again for changing it up, you
- 26:32know, because there would be discussions leading up to these
- 26:35things where we'd say, do we want to do this this year?
- 26:38Is it fun? Yes.
- 26:40Is it is it good content for the channel?
- 26:42Yes, absolutely. It's meaningful to us.
- 26:47It's we've done it as a family for many years on stream.
- 26:50So I'm just excited to have some new cookies and it becomes a no
- 26:56brainer, you know, like, yes, there's new cookies.
- 26:59We're doing this, so we're all in.
- 27:01We'll be we'll be doing this live.
- 27:03I mean, to do the cookies troll, you have to get 5.
- 27:05There's two right there and you know there's three of you going,
- 27:11if not 4. So certainly you're going to do
- 27:14at least 5 cookies. If not, you know 10 or 15.
- 27:17So you'll have a couple prizes as you will have won at the end.
- 27:20I'm really excited about this ginger molasses cookie right
- 27:23there. The salted caramel spaceship
- 27:26cookie, that sounds really good too.
- 27:28I'm excited about that. What I'm least excited about is
- 27:31this prototype cookie. What do we think it is?
- 27:33To me, it looks like a traditional Disney cookie, where
- 27:36I bet that thing has zero taste to it, but it is pretty.
- 27:40I bet it has zero taste, imitation chocolate, and not a
- 27:42very tasty cookie. I'm just talking from
- 27:45experience. I hope you're wrong because I
- 27:47want to try it because it it looks pretty so I really hope
- 27:51you're all going to have some some bang and taste.
- 27:54Oh, me too. I'm not rooting to be right.
- 27:56Right. But it looks pretty.
- 27:59I'll give it a I'll give it a 5 out of five or four out of five
- 28:02Mickey's. But I just feel like, is that
- 28:04shortbread or something? Like, I don't know.
- 28:06I don't. I don't know.
- 28:08Yeah. You know, Jill, Jill's talked,
- 28:10you know, tried to talk to Disney for years about the
- 28:13imitation chocolate. I don't know.
- 28:15We'll have to see, but the others look look great and I
- 28:18hope I'm wrong about that one. So stay tuned to see what I
- 28:21think as my teeth bite into that bad boy there.
- 28:24You go. All right, we have another
- 28:27couple new ones. Maple shortbread, Maple Leaf
- 28:30shortbread cookie that's over at Yukon and the Mickey shaped
- 28:34almond black and white cookie over at Lehheim.
- 28:38Are you going to tell me that Lehheim didn't carry a black and
- 28:42white cookie before? Or is it that this one is
- 28:44almond? I, I had to look at this when I
- 28:48first looked at it, and that's what the conclusion I've come
- 28:51to. There's been a black and white
- 28:53cookie for as long as the cookie stroll has existed, I believe.
- 28:59But I, it's got to be the almond piece of it that makes it new.
- 29:04But again, you're showing three. I I should say 2 out of 3
- 29:08cookies at least that look very. I'm excited to try them.
- 29:10The Maple Leaf, the Mickey shaped almond black cookie,
- 29:14which we had one in Manhattan before they were actually given
- 29:17us, given to us for free by the owner of a, a little, a little
- 29:22restaurant on the corner in near Central Park.
- 29:24He saw us vlogging and he came over and talked with us and gave
- 29:28us some free food. So that was pretty neat.
- 29:31Yeah. But there was this this
- 29:32Rougelach. Yeah.
- 29:34I don't know. Yeah.
- 29:37So it's not new. I just don't know.
- 29:39I honestly don't know. We probably tried it.
- 29:41I don't. I don't know what it is.
- 29:43So it's hard to be excited about it, but we'll give it a try.
- 29:46Sharon says black and white cookies usually blah, Yeah.
- 29:50Yeah, yeah, there's nothing to write home about.
- 29:52It's usually a pretty good size cookie though.
- 29:54Yeah, yeah, I don't when I put. It up.
- 29:58I don't, I don't know why, especially like in New York City
- 30:00and all that stuff, like why it's a thing, like why people
- 30:03think it's so good. It from what I can remember it's
- 30:05an average at best. Catherine asks.
- 30:10Is it always cookie? Is it always Mickey shaped?
- 30:13Well, last one's Mickey shaped. Oh, we'd have to do some
- 30:19research and go back on our cookie stroll streams all.
- 30:23Right, we'll do that. I don't know if Tammy's, if
- 30:25Tammy's out there outside of the studio, she might remember if it
- 30:30was Mickey shaped. I don't think it was.
- 30:33I would. I would probably.
- 30:34If I had to guess, I don't think it was Mickey shaped in the
- 30:37past. I brought the yoohoo out so now
- 30:40I have to drink it. I'm drinking the I'm drinking
- 30:43the the cookies and cream or chocolate Huell right now.
- 30:45So we're we're pounding the chocolate treats.
- 30:49So that's not it for the cookies.
- 30:51You'll see more cookies as we as we go through the rest of the
- 30:55food booths here. All right, stay tuned to Living
- 30:58in Dizz on the 29th. We will be there at the Love It
- 31:03Festival of the Holidays and we will do the Cookie Stroll.
- 31:07We'll make sure we're going to eat.
- 31:08Before I start the the stream. Man, we are going to eat that
- 31:13day cookies and food. Love it So over at favorites of
- 31:20festivals past which that booth had a different name one time,
- 31:28what was it called? Was it just festival favorites?
- 31:32I think. It was, yeah, festival
- 31:33favorites, which I always tell you to write this stuff down and
- 31:37document it. I'm saying this now, and I've
- 31:39said it a million times before, that particular booth, they need
- 31:43to put festival favorites in it. They need six things at that
- 31:47place, things that they put in for each festival and other
- 31:50things that are truly festival favorites year round.
- 31:54They need to do do it, Disney do it.
- 31:57I agree. Yeah, Ciara, good to see you.
- 32:00She was doing her food and see her.
- 32:07It's infectious, it. Really.
- 32:08Is her festival the holidays episode early today?
- 32:12I was checking that out. Here you go.
- 32:15So you got Reuben croquettes that's going to have pastrami,
- 32:19sauerkraut and Swiss tree Swiss cheese with 1000 island dipping
- 32:23sauce over there at favorites of festival festivals past.
- 32:29I want to run, not walk to that one.
- 32:31That sounds really good, and if that's existed before I don't
- 32:34know how that got past me. I I would say I probably want to
- 32:40try that one as well. You also have a brown sugar and
- 32:44mustard glaze ham slider that's going to have cranberry and
- 32:48apple coleslaw on a Hawaiian roll.
- 32:52I'm not much for coleslaw but. Oh, I am.
- 32:58Ham slider on a Hawaiian roll. You got me.
- 33:01I'm from New England. We're all about coleslaw.
- 33:05I would try this. I would definitely try this.
- 33:07I'd be, you know, I think I've decided, you know, we get
- 33:10blocked out towards the end of December, then this goes till
- 33:15when? 30th December 30th.
- 33:20I want to be at this festival more maybe than I ever have
- 33:23been, so might have some more frequent trips to Epcot I think.
- 33:28You might not have a choice. There's a lot of, there's a lot
- 33:30of Christmas parties. Ah yeah, Jollywood.
- 33:33Thank you. Can't.
- 33:34Can't go to Hollywood for two months on a Saturday.
- 33:39This next trip when I go in December, I may not see
- 33:41Starlight. That's going to be weird.
- 33:46Yikes. Yeah, Yikes.
- 33:49Crazy, right? Again, I have a strategy.
- 33:52We we have to rope. We have to rope drop Hollywood
- 33:54if we're going to do it on a Saturday before the year is over
- 33:58and then jump somewhere else. Yeah.
- 34:01Here's my theory right? Should the theory work if just
- 34:04like magic, right? The party effect.
- 34:06If you go to Hollywood early in the day, you might you might
- 34:09have the run of the park. Yeah, I've seen it.
- 34:13It's, it's quieter. It's not like, you know, ghost
- 34:18town tumbleweed, but it's, it's, it's quieter.
- 34:24All right, dude, you have a holiday trifle eggnog custard
- 34:28topped with cranberry cherry compote and sugared almonds.
- 34:32I feel like I remember this from last year, which would make
- 34:37sense since it's at. This sounds fantastic.
- 34:41I love eggnog. Let's go.
- 34:43See, he likes that one. It does.
- 34:44It looks good. Yes, why do they show 3?
- 34:49Just for pictures sake? Yeah they like they show.
- 34:52They show like 3 of everything. Yeah, all right.
- 34:55Over at Holiday Holiday Hearth Hearth hearth hearth Hearth at
- 35:02the Odyssey, you're going to have the cranberry oatmeal
- 35:04cookie, which is plant based, and you're also going to have
- 35:08the red velvet cake pop with festive festive sprinkles.
- 35:14Not no blocks, not just regular ones, exactly festive, festive.
- 35:17That one is new. Yeah, knowing what I know,
- 35:24having managed a grocery store for a couple years years back,
- 35:29that green, if it's not done well, it can be very bitter.
- 35:35So I'm sure they they'll do it correctly though, but that's
- 35:39just sticks out to me when I see that much green.
- 35:43When I see that thing on a stick, it makes me think that it
- 35:47could have been inspired by the S'mores on a stick that now
- 35:53exists, resides over there at Regal Eagle, and they're like,
- 36:00hmm, let's take the next. Let's take a holiday spin on
- 36:02this thing. It won't be as good for sure
- 36:05because it's not chocolate, but we'll try that.
- 36:08You can mark us down for that and sign me up for the Cranberry
- 36:10Oatmeal Cookie. Yeah, that's a good one.
- 36:14And that is, as you can tell from the cookie logo, that is,
- 36:19or the cookie emoji that is part of the cookie stroll.
- 36:25OK, Did you put that cookie there?
- 36:28I did. Continuing over at the Odyssey,
- 36:32you have Rainbow Reindeer Chow that's going to have M&M's and a
- 36:38holiday blend, and then you also have the Apple Caramel crumb
- 36:42cake. They're just rolling out too
- 36:48many good things here. Now these don't say that they're
- 36:53new, so they were probably around last year, but I don't
- 36:57know. Reindeer child's been around for
- 37:00at least a year, but the apple the apple caramel crumb cake
- 37:04escaped me. Do you know what?
- 37:07You know what they would call that reindeer chow here.
- 37:11Reindeer poop. In North Carolina, at least,
- 37:15back to when I was working at a grocery store.
- 37:18Go ahead. Isn't it reindeer poop?
- 37:21Or no, I've heard it called that, but no.
- 37:23Yeah, they call it trash. Oh.
- 37:29Reindeer trash. No, just trash.
- 37:32Just trash. Yeah, I picked up some holiday
- 37:35trash. Yeah.
- 37:37Thought you might like some. My my grocery manager comes to
- 37:40me is like, I want to do a an end cap display of trash and I'm
- 37:46like, why would you do trash? Why would you do trash bags in
- 37:51the grocery section? That doesn't make any sense.
- 37:53What? What Have you lost your mind?
- 37:55Groceries make trash. Right.
- 37:58He's like no Chex mix and blah blah blah and zip lock bags.
- 38:04Oh, he taught me something so. Wow, I have who?
- 38:08Who in Chad has ever heard of that?
- 38:09Because I have never heard that. Yeah, trash.
- 38:13I I learned a lot my my years in grocery here.
- 38:17Tiger girl in chat says I have to do a 12 hour stream.
- 38:20We've done that haven't we? More often than she thinks.
- 38:23Or just we. Just we just did 11 1/2 hours.
- 38:27Yeah, we just did 11 1/2 hours on Saturdays.
- 38:29Where were you? She was there.
- 38:30She was there for like 2 of them.
- 38:31I don't know. Surprise, I wasn't back there
- 38:33sleeping on the on the couch. I wonder sometimes.
- 38:38I wonder sometimes people don't know behind the scenes when I'm
- 38:40texting Lawrence. Lawrence, I texted you if I ever
- 38:44did. But times are much better these
- 38:45days. Yeah, if Corey ever says
- 38:47anything on stream and I don't do it right away, just assume
- 38:51I'm sitting back there. Shows on autopilot.
- 38:57So you also have the chocolate covered toffee brittle and you
- 39:02have the frozen caramel hot cocoa featuring Twix cookie bar
- 39:06pieces with whipped cream, which I would almost try except I'm
- 39:11mad at Twix because they stopped selling the peanut butter Twix
- 39:15which was my favorite candy. Well, if you're mad at Twix, I'm
- 39:19mad for you too. But it's it's frozen hot cocoa.
- 39:25Yeah. I I might not be able to pass
- 39:27that up. It's, it doesn't seem to make
- 39:31sense, but I've had it, I think frozen hot, yes.
- 39:34So is it hot or is it cold? It's frozen OK, but it's not
- 39:40like they made hot cocoa on the stove and then put it in the
- 39:43fridge. I guess it's just cocoa for the
- 39:46flavor. This listen, the figment holiday
- 39:52sweater Liege waffle. I feel like as I started to talk
- 39:57about this one, it's it's how I go how I went in the very first
- 40:01time for several things, like even the Ice Cream Sandwich, the
- 40:04Mickey Ice Cream Sandwich for me.
- 40:06I don't know if I'll ever. Get one of these waffles.
- 40:10I don't know. They it just doesn't do it for
- 40:12me. Like it's a waffle and I don't
- 40:16know, you got sprinkles and some chocolate ganache garnish.
- 40:20I guess fine. Although wait a minute,
- 40:23Chocolate coated gingerbread waffle?
- 40:26It's gingerbread. I might stand corrected.
- 40:29It's gingerbread. I didn't know they did that.
- 40:34OK, I might have to win them over.
- 40:36Yeah, but normally I don't go after the waffles because I make
- 40:38waffles at home. I make big Belgium, Belgium
- 40:41waffles. I kind of have a rule that
- 40:43falls. That's where the the Mickey Ice
- 40:46Cream Sandwich falls in. If you can just open the freezer
- 40:48or go in the kitchen and get it, then you don't need to buy it at
- 40:51Disney. Buy something else.
- 40:53Oh tiger girl, I'm at the 12 hour food stream.
- 40:57Oh OK we we could pace ourselves.
- 41:00I did a 12 hour festival of eating on Sunday.
- 41:06Just wouldn't stream it. I could, I could put a live
- 41:08camera up while I watch football from 1A from 1:00 PM to, you
- 41:13know, 11:30 at night. You all want that.
- 41:17I started out with, I started out with a big protein pancake
- 41:22and then from there I went with what we do.
- 41:26Oh, I did a Casey's hot dog. Sometimes people would be like,
- 41:29how's he eating Casey hot dogs at home because we buy him on
- 41:33property. Had a nice big foot long KC hot
- 41:37dog. Then Tammy made me a full veggie
- 41:39platter. Had that and then had a big
- 41:43Chipotle bowl of food. So oh, and Tammy made some
- 41:46chicken wings from Disney, the chicken tenders.
- 41:50So I had a lot of food. I ate a lot.
- 41:52I forgot what to have for dessert.
- 41:53But oh, I think I don't know. I did dip into the Christmas
- 41:58popcorn last night though. I forgot to break up some of it
- 42:02and I pulled out literally a brick of it.
- 42:05Tammy goes, whoa, I'm like, let me break that up a little bit.
- 42:09Just a little. Listen, listen, I was waiting
- 42:12for somebody to bite on this and chat and Shirley said you can go
- 42:14to, you can get a Mickey bar in the freezer too.
- 42:17No, you can't. You can't.
- 42:21You can't. It's not.
- 42:23It's a little bit different. Yeah, it's a different enough
- 42:26that it's not. Listen, those did their job
- 42:29during COVID when we couldn't get in the parks.
- 42:31That's when we had Mickey ice cream bars in in the in the
- 42:35freezer. Now they're banned.
- 42:38Tiger Girl, if you like food, maybe I'll do a stream from the
- 42:44next food truck Rodeo that we have here in the Raleigh area
- 42:48just for you. I mean, just for you.
- 42:51You know, hopefully more than just you will show up, but I'll
- 42:53do it. All right.
- 42:57Over in Mexico, we have tostada, tostada de carne.
- 43:02That's going to be a braised beef tip, slowly cooked Mexican
- 43:05style on a corn tortilla with black beans, crispy onions and
- 43:11queso fresco. That is new.
- 43:15Sounds good. Does sound good.
- 43:18I usually avoid Mexico and Italy, though, because I kind of
- 43:27eat that quite often. So it's not, it's not.
- 43:31It's less to get excited about. I'd rather try some other things
- 43:34like this thing, whatever it is. So this is new.
- 43:37Also, this is a mole. This is shredded chicken.
- 43:41Shredded chicken and mole in a corn masa topped with Molenegro
- 43:46queso fresco. Grimo Mexicana slivered almonds.
- 43:52I guess I would have to eat the almonds and sesame seeds.
- 43:56You are hitting the accents tonight.
- 43:57Good for you. After Mexico, that's it.
- 44:01That's all I got. Gotcha.
- 44:04Churros, churros. Not a cheerro fan?
- 44:09I am not a cheerro fan, how about you?
- 44:12No, those are overpriced and I just don't think they're worth
- 44:18the money. Not a big cheerro guy.
- 44:20Too much sugar on it too. And these are sprinkled with
- 44:23cinnamon sugar. And it's dulce de leche, which
- 44:27is already sweet. And then you add the cinnamon
- 44:30sugar on top of that. And then the.
- 44:32It's just, it's. Yeah.
- 44:34It does look like it's oozing something though.
- 44:37That's the the dulce de leche. So that's inside the churro.
- 44:42Well, that pluses up the churro. Yeah, I'd be a little more
- 44:45willing to try it because it it's filled with something.
- 44:48Yeah, I didn't know they did that with with churros.
- 44:51That could be a game changer. All right, keep that in mind.
- 44:56Over in China, you have the Shanghai Holiday Kitchen.
- 45:00They're going to have a BBQ char C pork fried rice.
- 45:06This looks great to me. I I could I could definitely try
- 45:11that. Yeah, that looks good.
- 45:14I would be game for that. So that one is you could sign me
- 45:18up for possibly trying. That sounds good.
- 45:22Beef Noodle Soup bowl Slow braised beef Shank, green onions
- 45:27and house made chili oil. Oh, I wonder if Jacob would be
- 45:31intrigued by that. Looks pretty good too.
- 45:38And also in China you have the vegetable spring rolls with a
- 45:42citrus sauce. I love how they're all, but
- 45:46like, I mean, I know it's art, right?
- 45:50You're not getting them all on these pretty plates.
- 45:54Right, right. Yeah, yeah.
- 45:57Yeah, always makes me laugh when I do these shows.
- 45:59I. Know, look at that, look at that
- 46:00nice plate right there. You're not getting it like that.
- 46:03Yeah. Spice shrimp Stew.
- 46:06Yeah. Yeah, OK.
- 46:09I, I, I I would like to try this one.
- 46:11Yeah, When I put this, when I put this one in the show, I was
- 46:15like, Oh yeah, I would try this one.
- 46:18Yeah, that's for sure. That's going to be at the
- 46:20refreshment outpost, at the African outpost.
- 46:24Just after China. You have the pork Schnitzel
- 46:30mushroom sauce. How do you pronounce that
- 46:34Spatzel? Spatzel.
- 46:36I'd say Spatzel. And braised red braised red
- 46:39cabbage. Oh, I'm all in on this one.
- 46:44I like that breadedness of that pork right there.
- 46:48Yeah, that looks good. Count me in.
- 46:51Sign me. Up Bavaria holiday kitchen there
- 46:54in Germany. You have a cheese fondue there
- 46:58in a bread bowl. I've had that, that's very good,
- 47:05so I probably won't try it this time.
- 47:07And there's your Linzer cookie with Raspberry jam.
- 47:12See, I I thought they put a new twist on this one, but
- 47:14apparently they didn't. It's the same cookie.
- 47:16Same cookie. I mean, they which is fine.
- 47:18Yeah, I was going to say they used it for the cover, so it
- 47:21must be like the one again. This is part of the cookie
- 47:27stroll, as you can see by the cookie logo there.
- 47:32All right, now this is Italy. Sweet sausage, red pepper and
- 47:39focaccia. I would be interested if it was
- 47:44less than 6 bucks. OK, so if it's 598, he's getting
- 47:51it. Yeah, yes.
- 47:54Montanera Fried House made pizza dough with pomodoro sauce,
- 48:00parmesan and fresh basil. I guess it's been.
- 48:04Around I think say it's new, yes, yes.
- 48:08And that's pricey. I I wouldn't be surprised if
- 48:10that was 9 bucks, believe it or not.
- 48:13OK, Yeah. All right, we're going to move
- 48:17to America. We're going to go to the Fife
- 48:19and drum and have an apple pie sundae.
- 48:22Apple pie filling with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce,
- 48:26topped with streusel. That's interesting enough for me
- 48:30to want to get one. I think I'm going to get that.
- 48:34I love apple pie. I love ice cream on apple pie.
- 48:37That seems to be all of that plus a little bit more, so sign
- 48:42me up for that one. I'm going to remind you this is
- 48:44a very short festival. Just keep that in mind.
- 48:49That's why I said in the beginning I need to go a little
- 48:51more often than I did frozen gingerbread eggnog.
- 48:57Frozen gingerbread eggnog gingerbread syrup topped with
- 49:00nutmeg that is non alcoholic. There is also an alcoholic
- 49:05version with rum that's also at Fife and Drum.
- 49:09All right, we're trying that. Sign me up.
- 49:12There you go. Non rum.
- 49:13The non rum. Here's a chocolate cookie
- 49:18featuring Snickers bar pieces and salted caramel.
- 49:22I'm hoping that is the best cookie of the festival right
- 49:25there. And I know Tammy will try that
- 49:27one too. Yeah.
- 49:29All right. Looks like we're getting
- 49:30everything. Looks like we're getting
- 49:31everything on the menu at the. Oh, no, that's different.
- 49:35So you're telling me there's two American booths then?
- 49:38Yes. So we've got the American
- 49:40Adventure holiday table. So we talking about the little
- 49:44spot that usually serves. What do you call it?
- 49:48The the other things I'm not a fan of the the cakes there the.
- 49:53Funnel cake? Nope, that one.
- 49:54The funnel cakes there's. There's there's like one on each
- 49:58side. There's two small booths 1.
- 50:00Oh, you know, I don't know if I've ever ordered anything from
- 50:03that other one. I don't think I've ordered from
- 50:06either of them because I I don't think funnel cake either.
- 50:09So. Right, right, right.
- 50:11Yeah, I don't, I don't think I've done either of those.
- 50:15So also, I, I mean, you can't go wrong with this one.
- 50:20Slow roasted Turkey, stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans and
- 50:23cranberry sauce. I'm going to say that's probably
- 50:28been around for years and years. Got to have it.
- 50:35I only get Turkey once a year. I'm going after this one
- 50:38multiple times. Yeah.
- 50:40Yeah, this one's good. Blackened catfish with Hoppin'
- 50:45John and comeback sauce. Listen, listen, I listen I I
- 50:52think we had this last year and it was amazing.
- 50:58It was amazed is I think we had this that will be multiple times
- 51:05trying that. I think we had that Yum.
- 51:15Here's your funnel cake over at Funnel Cake, appropriately named
- 51:20Booth, this is a red velvet cookie funnel cake topped with
- 51:25powdered sugar, vanilla ice cream, cream cheese, whipped
- 51:28cream, cream cheese, whipped cream, red velvet cookie pieces,
- 51:32mini chocolate chips, and chocolate syrup.
- 51:36I don't need funnel cake, but man that is really tempting.
- 51:43Yeah, there was one in Hollywood studios that gave that really
- 51:46tempted me and we never got around to it.
- 51:48I don't know if they're still selling it, but I don't know.
- 51:52I just, I don't know what what the funnel cake, what the funnel
- 51:55cake taste like. I don't know if it's like what
- 51:58they call like an elephant ear. I think so.
- 52:01Or something like that, I don't know.
- 52:04Yeah, Sharon says. You had the catfish.
- 52:10Oh, she says. I had it.
- 52:11OK, Yeah, then I can't wait to get back to that.
- 52:14Christie says it looks good. It does look good.
- 52:17I don't normally eat catfish, but I would certainly try that
- 52:19one. And Rodney's all in on the
- 52:24funnel cake. All right, so that's for
- 52:27America. Now we're going to head to Japan
- 52:28and we have the strawberry bun. That's a soft pink dessert bow
- 52:33containing sweet strawberry cream filling, finished with a
- 52:37light coconut. I like coconut sauce.
- 52:41Tammy wouldn't go anywhere near this.
- 52:44No, she would not, but I might. Tammy does not like coconut.
- 52:51You are correct, Sir. 3 1/2 years I know I'll just.
- 52:57Question her on that, I don't know why.
- 53:01Sushi tree roll, Christmas tree shaped sushi roll or a triangle
- 53:08with crab meat cream cheese. Garnish with spicy Mayo and
- 53:13colorful rice pearls. That looks good.
- 53:18It does look good. I'm not AI don't really eat
- 53:21sushi a lot but I I eat everything that would be in that
- 53:25so I could. I'm, I'm more of a, I'm more of
- 53:29a California roll kind of person, which is more of the
- 53:35veggies. That's a little bit of crab meat
- 53:37in there. So I might be intrigued enough
- 53:39to try it. But the question is, are they
- 53:41going to serve it in the shape of a tree And I can, are they
- 53:44going to serve it on that slab of slate?
- 53:49I I don't know. Where that slate?
- 53:50Is now right They yeah, I want they took the picture.
- 53:53What are they doing with that? Oh, it's going to be sitting
- 53:57like underneath some walkway over at Monsters Inc land.
- 54:06Got to reuse everything. Tempura shrimp, right?
- 54:10Yes. OK, that looks pretty good.
- 54:14That looks pretty good. Yeah, it's a fish based soup
- 54:19topped with shrimp tempura and chopped green onion.
- 54:24It's not new though. No, yeah.
- 54:30Over in Morocco, Tangerine Cafe, you've got Moroccan wraps.
- 54:37These will have tomato, cucumber, relish and garlic
- 54:39sauce. Served on a warm Moroccan
- 54:42flatbread. You've got chicken, lamb and
- 54:46falafel. Have you had these?
- 54:51No, but I keep feel. I keep feeling like I keep
- 54:54trying to chase them for the festivals that they're available
- 54:57at and we never get to them. All right, well, they're in.
- 55:01Yeah, I think, I think we missed them here, here at the Festival
- 55:05of the Wine and Food that's happening right now, which we'll
- 55:09be at tomorrow. Stone baked Moroccan.
- 55:15Bread. No.
- 55:15Am I lying? Am I lying?
- 55:18What? Are we at Magic Kingdom
- 55:20tomorrow? No wait, I don't know where I
- 55:26am. I'm confused now.
- 55:28You're in a park. We're in a park tomorrow, check
- 55:32us out. Check us out.
- 55:38I can easily confuse myself. Really.
- 55:42First I've heard of that. This will be over at Leheim,
- 55:46which is between Morocco and France.
- 55:50This is a pastrami on rye with house made Pickles and deli
- 55:55mustard. What is a house made pickle?
- 56:00Oh, yeah, good question. I don't know.
- 56:04Now, this is probably something I as good as this could be and
- 56:07probably is with all the other foods that you can't quite get
- 56:12like this, this you could get. You could get this at home.
- 56:18By the way, you're at Epcot for Last Call for the food and wine
- 56:22tomorrow. For tomorrow, OK, cool, can't
- 56:24wait. It's going to be fun.
- 56:27Doesn't even know where he's going.
- 56:29Now I remember, because we're going, we're literally doing
- 56:32magic next week so that we're taking you.
- 56:35Listen everyone, I think we're going to miss the last Starlight
- 56:39on Saturdays. I think we'll do the first one.
- 56:42I think we're going to miss the last one, and we're going to
- 56:44make a mad dash to Tron. Take you all on Tron.
- 56:46I don't know if that excites you, but Jacob really wants to
- 56:49do it with Dad before the red Tron goes away.
- 56:53So we're going to do Tron all right.
- 56:56Although I shouldn't say that maybe I think that's possible,
- 57:00that maybe we could just, it depends.
- 57:02I guess. We'll play it by ear.
- 57:03We can see two starlights and do Tron in between and miss the
- 57:06fireworks. I don't know.
- 57:07We'll see. But at some point we're going to
- 57:09go over when it's dark and and get on Tron.
- 57:13I like it. All right.
- 57:16Do you have a smoke? Salmon potato latke?
- 57:22Why am I here? We go, Oh, Shirley says.
- 57:26Korean BBQ Wings. By the way, I might have to go
- 57:29get those for the final time tomorrow.
- 57:33That's going to entail standing in line a little bit.
- 57:37Am I doing this alone, Shirley? I I might need help with that.
- 57:43Roderick says smoke at your nearest nearby Jewish deli,
- 57:46Which we don't have one here in North Carolina.
- 57:50Smoked salmon, potato, latke. OK, that sounds pretty good.
- 57:55Yeah, I would try that. It's between Morocco and France,
- 58:01OK, I know what that is between Morocco and France.
- 58:06And precisely, I think, I think it's the Brazilian booth.
- 58:10I was going to say that's where it normally the Brazil is and la
- 58:17cocina fresca during. That's where we got a lot of
- 58:22food one day. Didn't we order like 7 items?
- 58:25Yes, yeah. And then you have the potato
- 58:28locking there. That's not new about a seared
- 58:32salmon over at Canada with a butternut squash puree, Maple
- 58:38bourbon glaze and fennel arugula salad.
- 58:42It's possible we could get that. I like salmon beef bourguignon
- 58:53with crushed potatoes at the Yukon Holiday Kitchen in Canada.
- 58:58Man, no one does beef like Canada.
- 59:02I I thought it. Was there that one folks, just
- 59:04so you know. Yeah, that looks fantastic.
- 59:07Do we have a poutine coming up? We might.
- 59:12There it is. I did not know that everyone.
- 59:15I just felt like we were going along.
- 59:18Although we there's, there's nothing in the UK.
- 59:21There never is though. Now think about it, why doesn't
- 59:26the UK contribute to these festivals?
- 59:29What's up with that, UK? Interesting we moved around
- 59:33because now we're in Canada. Is is there no French booth for
- 59:40Christmas? Oh, there's got to be.
- 59:45There has to be. Maybe we just missed it.
- 59:48Turkey poutine, Sweet potato fries with Turkey gravy,
- 59:52cranberry relish and crispy onions.
- 59:54Oh, oh, Yep. Now I have to decide what's
- 59:58going to be first. What are we having first and 2nd
- 1:00:02and 3rd? We'll probably eat at least
- 1:00:03three things on Oh, it's going to be Saturdays.
- 1:00:06It'll be at least 4 things. I got to see if this could be
- 1:00:09dinner. That could be dinner right
- 1:00:11there. That's a good one.
- 1:00:15Very cool. How about some liquid nitrogen?
- 1:00:21Oh, we love our liquid nitrogen. Yes, we do.
- 1:00:25Peppermint. Oh, peppermint noose.
- 1:00:29I said this was new before I saw the word new.
- 1:00:31This is new holiday mint chocolate candies and it's
- 1:00:37moose. Oh my gosh, this, oh this is
- 1:00:41going to be sick. I'm taking a screenshot.
- 1:00:44Think about the mint chocolate and liquid nitrogen like it did
- 1:00:48that. I think you put those two
- 1:00:50together and that mint is going to hit a lot harder than than
- 1:00:54normal, you know? And it's cold.
- 1:00:56Yeah, and it's cold too. Yeah, so this is that Twirl
- 1:01:00showcase between World Showcase and Imagination Pavilion.
- 1:01:04Yeah, I I think I'll be trying that.
- 1:01:09Oh yeah, that's going to be multiple times right there.
- 1:01:11Surely. Say get in my belly.
- 1:01:14Since she gets really excited, I say come to Daddy.
- 1:01:17Over at a holiday suites and treats near point of entry,
- 1:01:21which I never call a point of entry.
- 1:01:24I always call it now that's what I call port of entry.
- 1:01:30Yeah, port of entry, but it said point of entry because there's
- 1:01:34two different. Stores, Yeah, hey, that's fine.
- 1:01:38You can get that at home. But it it's still good, though.
- 1:01:40It's chocolate and it's cream and it's mint, so nice treat.
- 1:01:45Nice treat on a hot December day.
- 1:01:49Now here's here's a picture of three, but that's because it's a
- 1:01:53flight. Yes.
- 1:01:58So you got chocolate sugar cookie hot cocoa, gingerbread
- 1:02:01hot cocoa, and cookie butter hot cocoa.
- 1:02:06Oh, you got me at gingerbread every time.
- 1:02:09I love gingerbread. I think Tammy's making ginger
- 1:02:11gingerbread for Thanksgiving with some whipped cream.
- 1:02:17Oh my. Over at Melakalikimaka, in our
- 1:02:25or between World Showcase and Imagination Pavilion, you've got
- 1:02:31kalua. I would assume pork with
- 1:02:34coconut, sweet potatoes and mango salad.
- 1:02:40Yeah, that could be very good. I guess the purple is the mango
- 1:02:46salad. Yeah, it must be.
- 1:02:51Interesting. Might be the sweet potatoes.
- 1:02:53I I was thinking sweet potato but and I'm like, what's the?
- 1:02:57Piece they dyed it purple. Yeah, all right.
- 1:03:00This salmon, tomato, onions, salmon row rowie, yuzu, Mayo and
- 1:03:07Yucca chips. Yeah, this one's not for me, but
- 1:03:11I'm sure it's amazing for those who who love it.
- 1:03:14I can't get into the raw tuna stuff, the raw salmon.
- 1:03:17I can't get into that raw stuff like that.
- 1:03:19I've tried. Not for me though.
- 1:03:22All right about a coffee mocha cookie.
- 1:03:29Yes, sign me up. This is going to be good.
- 1:03:31I can't wait to try this one. It has espresso beans on it.
- 1:03:35I'm not allowed to have espresso, but I'm going to eat
- 1:03:37that. I wonder because Tammy does.
- 1:03:39Yeah, she says. It gives me too much energy.
- 1:03:42Wow. Imagine that.
- 1:03:45Couldn't couldn't energize Bunny again.
- 1:03:49This is part of the cookie stroll as you can see there.
- 1:03:52So he's he's already named like 5 or 6 cookies that he wants to
- 1:03:56try on his own so. Oh yeah, this one's not new, so
- 1:03:59I think I remember eating it. All right, I like this one.
- 1:04:03Traditional Latin Christmas bread, rolled ham, raisins, and
- 1:04:07green olives. Now the raisins, I don't know.
- 1:04:10I'm not really a Raisin guy. Although as a kid there were
- 1:04:15only two cereals that I ate and that was Cocoa Krispies and Post
- 1:04:25Raisin Bran. I did not like Kellogg's Raisin
- 1:04:28Bran, but Post Raisin Bran I did.
- 1:04:30I don't know. Yeah, I didn't like cereal.
- 1:04:34I don't like milk, so. But this I would try even with
- 1:04:38the raisins. All right.
- 1:04:42Do you have a plant based treaty?
- 1:04:44So Tamale, this is going to be at a Noche Buena Cocina, which
- 1:04:49is between World Show. Everything's between World
- 1:04:51Showcase and Imagination Pavilion.
- 1:04:59It's all right. I wouldn't go out of my way for
- 1:05:02this one. Yeah, I'm not a big plant based
- 1:05:04person. Yeah, cinnamon spice chocolate
- 1:05:09crinkle cookie. Part of the Cookie stroll as
- 1:05:13well. If I remember correctly when we
- 1:05:16review this one, I think this one kind of lacks taste.
- 1:05:22Not the not the greatest cookie, but we'll try it again for
- 1:05:25review. Roderick says.
- 1:05:27I'm surprised there's no coquito drink at the festival.
- 1:05:32I think there would have been if that booth where Lehayim is was
- 1:05:37a Latin based because it's more Caribbean, not Mexican, so
- 1:05:44Mexico wouldn't have it. But that will probably be some
- 1:05:48in my house. All right over at Chestnuts and
- 1:05:55Good Cheer Holiday Kitchen. That's going to be between World
- 1:05:58Showcase and Imagination Pavilion.
- 1:06:00You've got a selection of almonds, cashews, pecans or
- 1:06:06pecans. We got them both and fire
- 1:06:10roasted chestnuts. Will they be roasting those
- 1:06:13chestnuts over and open fire is what I'm wondering.
- 1:06:18Sorry Jack, Forster was nipping out my.
- 1:06:21Nose. Oh, I'm sorry about that.
- 1:06:23And we've got that slab again over there, served on a slab of
- 1:06:28cement. But this one is round.
- 1:06:31I think the other one was a triangle or something or square.
- 1:06:36It was, yeah, it was at least triangle, so need.
- 1:06:38To know, I need to know, yeah, Cast members, if you're out
- 1:06:41there watching, let me know what's going on with this slab.
- 1:06:45Yeah, it's interesting. About a peanut butter cookie and
- 1:06:49M&M peanut butter cookie that's new.
- 1:06:54Nope, it's not new. It's not new.
- 1:06:58I don't think there's chocolate chips in that thing, but you got
- 1:07:05some baby M&M's on top. I was going to, I was going to
- 1:07:08ask you because they look mini to me.
- 1:07:11Yeah, it's, oh, it says Mini. If I'd have read the words I put
- 1:07:14on the screen. If I had to guess, I'd probably
- 1:07:17rate that a three out of five Mickey's.
- 1:07:19Like it's not going to wow you. It to me, it would wow you if it
- 1:07:22was full of big chocolate chips like the NUM NUM cookie.
- 1:07:26But you're just going to get like that peanut butter sweet
- 1:07:30frosting with some with some baby M&M's, which is good.
- 1:07:34But it it looks like it it wants to be a 5 out of five Mickey's,
- 1:07:37but I don't think it would be. Got it.
- 1:07:40And that's going to be at Sun, Sunshine, Seasons at the Land.
- 1:07:45Mm hmm. Also at the land you have a
- 1:07:51cookie milkshake, spice Gelato with whipped cream, a cookie
- 1:07:56wreath, Mickey shaped holly and sprinkles.
- 1:08:01So we don't really know the flavor, huh?
- 1:08:03It's just going to maybe have some cinnamon spices or
- 1:08:05something in there. Cinnamon spice or something?
- 1:08:08I would say so, yeah. Yeah, looks like the straw goes
- 1:08:12through the cookie, so there must be a hole in the cookie and
- 1:08:15they just put the straw through it.
- 1:08:17This I can already. I can see the straw in the
- 1:08:19picture wilting away because it's a paper straw.
- 1:08:25You have to spread that peanut butter out so surely Funny she
- 1:08:28says that. Because I think when we tried
- 1:08:30that, we spread it out like you need.
- 1:08:32You need to have more of that covering the cookie in every
- 1:08:35bite. And then you also have Joffrey's
- 1:08:39getting into the mix with their holiday cookie latte, espresso,
- 1:08:45caramel sauce, almond syrup, choice of milk topped with
- 1:08:50whipped cream, merry sugar sprinkles that is non alcoholic.
- 1:08:54And there is a spirited version available with Irish cream
- 1:08:58liqueur. And that's going to be at the
- 1:09:01Joffrey's around the park. I feel like you're either a
- 1:09:05Joffrey's person or a Starbucks person.
- 1:09:07Not like both, not a fan. I've tried too many of their,
- 1:09:12their cold coffee type drinks and I haven't liked a single one
- 1:09:15of them. They don't even taste like they
- 1:09:17say they're going to, in my opinion.
- 1:09:20So I, I will always stay away from those.
- 1:09:23I shouldn't say always because you know, someday I might have a
- 1:09:26weak point and like I'm going to try that one.
- 1:09:28But I love the Starbucks stuff more now.
- 1:09:31I will tout Joffrey's or the Disney of coffee that that we
- 1:09:36pick up. Those are all amazing.
- 1:09:38So I think they excel when you when you make Joffrey's at home
- 1:09:42for hot coffee flavors. But I don't, I think I don't
- 1:09:45know, stuff is not flavorful enough to me when, when you get
- 1:09:48these these other drinks. I've been really let down on
- 1:09:51some of those drinks I've tried over there.
- 1:09:54Good to know. Yeah.
- 1:09:57Good to know. Milks.
- 1:10:01So yeah, there's, you know, I'm only going to be there on
- 1:10:06December 13th, but I will certainly try a few of those
- 1:10:11items. Corey will be buying the entire
- 1:10:14park on the 29th of November. So I can tell you what to eat
- 1:10:19and what not to eat. Right.
- 1:10:22Yeah, You know, there's some like, like you said, the
- 1:10:25pastrami on rye, you can kind of get that anywhere.
- 1:10:29The black and white cookie you can kind of get anywhere, but
- 1:10:32there's quite a few dishes that, you know, really look really
- 1:10:36good. And I think the variety in the
- 1:10:40cookies are really good because don't you think they were, no
- 1:10:45pun intended, getting stale on the selection?
- 1:10:49Yes, absolutely. I love the pun, but certainly
- 1:10:53it's something we've talked about for years.
- 1:10:55You know where they they just have to switch it up.
- 1:10:58It's not that hard to switch up some cookies in that thing.
- 1:11:01It does. It doesn't have to be all of
- 1:11:03them, but you know, you should probably do at least four or
- 1:11:05five new ones, rotate them on a on a a yearly basis.
- 1:11:10So I'm glad to see there's some new cookies to try, because we
- 1:11:14probably wouldn't have done it if it stayed stale.
- 1:11:17Yeah, yeah, Mariah, or as we call her on a theme park giant
- 1:11:23Maria says. Someone said cookies and I was
- 1:11:28summoned. She's a cookie girl.
- 1:11:31Yeah, Cookie Stroll. Come and come and check it out.
- 1:11:35Cookies to the left and cookies to the right was that?
- 1:11:38Yeah, I got cookies to the left, cookies to the right, get that
- 1:11:44list ready, says Shirley. We got to get.
- 1:11:46You got to get the app first, and then we'll get that list
- 1:11:49going. Yes, make sure to download that
- 1:11:53app again. Non sponsored.
- 1:11:57It's called food and Wine, isn't it?
- 1:12:00It's called food and wine but it re it refreshes after every
- 1:12:04festival. Yeah, so there it is.
- 1:12:07There looks. Like that, Yeah, I didn't check
- 1:12:09it yet because the food and wine is still going on, right, Right.
- 1:12:14Obviously it is. So until that changes that I
- 1:12:18don't think that will update. But as soon as it does, we get
- 1:12:21very excited and we start making our checklist.
- 1:12:23Yeah, that that it's very handy to have.
- 1:12:32Thank you, Troy. Thanks for being here, Troy
- 1:12:33McDonald. We appreciate that.
- 1:12:35Corey is going to go into a cookie coma and says I'm going
- 1:12:38to go into a cookie coma. Let's go.
- 1:12:45So do want to show you one thing before we head out, if I can
- 1:12:51bring it up. And I hope I look clearer and
- 1:12:58sharper and sounded smarter tonight everybody with we got
- 1:13:03some new equipment here to broadcast with.
- 1:13:06So I don't think. I don't think Max said that.
- 1:13:09They were supposed to make you sound smarter.
- 1:13:11Oh see, that's what I thought. Was that in the brochure?
- 1:13:14That's in the brochure. I'm going to complain.
- 1:13:18I didn't know that. You have to explain daily cash
- 1:13:22to me though. I don't know if you have an
- 1:13:23Apple Card but I don't understand the daily cash.
- 1:13:25They tell me I got daily cash and then I look and I can't find
- 1:13:27it anywhere. And can it be used?
- 1:13:31It can be used it it can be used.
- 1:13:34I I just, I just store mine. I just saved it eventually I
- 1:13:40paid for, I don't know, something, something big with
- 1:13:42it. So it's probably a Disney.
- 1:13:44Trip OK. I bought some Disney stuff with
- 1:13:48it. It's just not coming up.
- 1:13:52Oh, I know why. Sorry folks.
- 1:13:54I wanted to show you something because it's a pretty cool part
- 1:13:59of the Disney Streamer Network. No, it's probably not going to
- 1:14:06show you. Anyway.
- 1:14:09Go to dsn.disneystreams.com. You now have the wonderful
- 1:14:12window there, which is if you, you know, think about when you
- 1:14:17go into a resort and you have the your name is displayed there
- 1:14:23and it's playing music from the parks and it's giving you the
- 1:14:26park operating hours. Well, this will do the same
- 1:14:29thing, except it also is going to give you wait times of rides
- 1:14:34and music from Park World Radio. So all of that in one window.
- 1:14:40And that's all part of the Disney Streamer Network,
- 1:14:43thedsn.disneystreams.com multi view.
- 1:14:47So you could be on the multi view watching us and Josh and
- 1:14:52Grand and Miraculous right now, or switch over and go to the
- 1:14:56multi to to the wonderful window and just listen to Park World
- 1:15:00Radio while you see stuff from the parks.
- 1:15:04Amazing. Yeah.
- 1:15:06And that is just to start. We've got a new feature I'm
- 1:15:11going to hopefully test tomorrow.
- 1:15:15We'll see. I got to talk to you after the
- 1:15:16show, but you've seen the wait times, you've seen the location,
- 1:15:22the Geo locating tracker. We embedded a tracker on Corey.
- 1:15:29I can't tell you where. And so now we.
- 1:15:32Can still hurt when. He's in the park.
- 1:15:35I told you not, I told you not to move.
- 1:15:38So it it's, you know, stuff like that is just moving the needle.
- 1:15:44And that's all thanks to David Pyle, who is a pile adventures,
- 1:15:49who is the brains behind all that.
- 1:15:51And that's just the beginning. Including an app.
- 1:15:53We have an app, folks. The DSN is an app right now.
- 1:15:58And you ever wanted to log all your vacation, all the park days
- 1:16:02you want to go? I don't remember what day I went
- 1:16:04to the park or I don't know what day I'm going to the park.
- 1:16:07Corey. Well.
- 1:16:10You now have. You now have a park companion
- 1:16:13that will log that for you, so make.
- 1:16:17Sure, we need, we need, we need a path to mark your whole day
- 1:16:22and direction of where you've been.
- 1:16:26It's amazing what you can do right now.
- 1:16:28So we're working on it. We're working on it.
- 1:16:34That's all I have. All right, doing another amazing
- 1:16:37show everybody. We do this live because we do it
- 1:16:40for you and you can always go back in rewatch, re listen for
- 1:16:44those who you know don't listen or watch live.
- 1:16:49We thank you for watching on Amazon, Apple, iHeartRadio and
- 1:16:54Spotify and also the YouTube Music app.
- 1:16:57You can listen or watch and here you can listen or watch as well.
- 1:17:00So we are not here next week. So our schedule going forward
- 1:17:08for this the year won't be every Tuesday because of just
- 1:17:13holidays, holidays. I have to work late on those
- 1:17:17Tuesday nights, this one Christmas, the the day before
- 1:17:20Christmas Eve, Christmas Eve, Eve and New Year's Eve, Eve.
- 1:17:24We won't be here, but we'll be here before you all those other
- 1:17:27evenings, those other Tuesdays, and should come out the box on
- 1:17:33in 2026 with a pretty consistent schedule, I would think.
- 1:17:37All right, I like it. We'll maybe we'll throw
- 1:17:42something out there because it's Thanksgiving week, so we'll see
- 1:17:45what we do. OK.
- 1:17:48But yeah, holidays are coming real quick.
- 1:17:51All aboard with Blake. Hello.
- 1:17:53Hello. Hey, Blake, I meant to message
- 1:17:58you. I'm getting my Frontier pass
- 1:18:00tonight. So he uses his Frontier pass and
- 1:18:04goes all the way from Saint Louis just to go stream for a
- 1:18:08weekend? Yeah.
- 1:18:11Does it make sense for me to get a Frontier pass for the family
- 1:18:14to get a Frontier pass? We wouldn't fly to Florida,
- 1:18:18right? Does it go to California cheap?
- 1:18:24It well it would go to California for $16.00 but you
- 1:18:29know you you are paying. You got to pay more in
- 1:18:32Disneyland park passes. Yeah, yeah.
- 1:18:37Deal killer. I'll be using my Frontier pass
- 1:18:39to go to California. All right, that's, that's going
- 1:18:44to do it for us. Happy Thanksgiving.
- 1:18:47In case we don't do anything next week, but we will see you
- 1:18:53Saturday. Sorry.
- 1:18:54We'll see you tomorrow in Epcot for the last food and wine.
