  Speaker 4: us just about anything. Well, answer just about anything. Hmm,
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: some things don't, but just about anything?
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: What is this question?
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: This one comes to us from our friend Max Power.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: Max Power, Hello, Lords.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: My wife and four kids are planning a vacation to Disneyland.
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: Our budget was fifteen thousand dollars and it is now
• 0:38
  Speaker 4: twenty thousand. Would you either upgrade your hotel to a
• 0:43
  Speaker 4: hotel in the park or upgrade your food and souvenir budget.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: We're driving down and right now we're planning on staying
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: about a mile away from the park.
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: We're going in August. Thanks Lords, Max Power.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: I'm not answering that question, Well, what is it? What
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: is specifically? What is the question there?
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: So he had he has upped his budget and should
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: he spend that extra money on a different hotel or
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: on souvenirs.
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: I definitely would stay at a park hotel.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: You're right to do that.
• 1:14
  Speaker 5: They're all expensive, yes they are. There's a new Pixar
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: Palace Hotel that they've just been and it's it's even
• 1:25
  Speaker 5: it's as pricey, if not more than the Grand Californian.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: I like the Green That's where I like to stay.
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: I like to stay at the Penny Sleeper, which is
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: across the street. You know it's not there, isn't.
• 1:35
  Speaker 4: It so the so so I like to stay at
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: a Disneyland Park hotel because you get early entry if
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: you stay there.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: There they're getting rid of that though, are they soon?
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: That means you have to get.
• 1:48
  Speaker 3: Up early, but you can come and go.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's the great thing.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: You want to go back, especially if you have kids
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: and maybe they.
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Need a Now I'm going to take more little monsters
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: back to the room.
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean sometimes it's it's a nice option. I
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: think it's if you're looking for somewhere where you have
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: a little extra money to spend, I would spend it
• 2:09
  Speaker 4: on a park hotel.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: I definitely do that.
• 2:13
  Speaker 5: The Grand Californian is my favorite place to stay.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: But like I said, that picks our place. Where is
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: this great?
• 2:20
  Speaker 5: It's there by the Disneyland Hotel, which they've just remodeled.
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: The Disneyland Hotel. I loved staying there. My mother took
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: us all to Disneyland once, like my kids and my
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: wife at the time, and I think it was for
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: one of my kid's birthdays and we stayed at all
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: stayed at the Disneyland Hotel, and it was just I
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: loved that place.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: Now there is a place across the street from the
• 2:44
  Speaker 5: park that is actually pretty good.
• 2:47
  Speaker 1: Not the Penny Sleeper.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: Not the Penny Sleeper. Did they tear it down or
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: just do something else with it? It's gone.
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: I don't know what. I think the roaches picked it up.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: They might have carried it away.
• 2:59
  Speaker 5: There's a place across the street called the Anaheim Hotel,
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: which we stayed at when we just went recently with
• 3:05
  Speaker 5: Geek Show.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: Oh you did.
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: Yeah, And that one's pretty good. It's right across the street.
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: But again you're asking people to walk from the park
• 3:15
  Speaker 5: to across the street. But yeah, I'd upgrade to the
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: you know, either the Grand California or the Pixar or
• 3:21
  Speaker 5: even the Disneyland Hotel.
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: So people are like, going, my god, are you kidding?
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: Twenty grand for I know that's how much it is.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: It's a family of so if they have four kids,
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: that's six people you're taking to Disneyland.
• 3:35
  Speaker 5: It is ridiculous how much they charge for park tickets anymore.
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: That's why I will never go to Disneyland again. And
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think anybody my family will not go to
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: Disneyland again.
• 3:46
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they just keep rising the prices.
• 3:49
  Speaker 5: Rebecca was down in disney World just a day ago
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: and Tony did the math and apparently it's cheaper to
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: go to disney World parks than it is Disneyland.
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they just entrance and it's.
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: Cheaper to go, like to Disneyland Paris. Yea, including like
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: flying there.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, no, I can't believe that. Yeah, it's a it's
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: a pretty cheap flight.
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: I think.
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: I think the last time I was in a Disney
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: property was disney World, and it was that was a
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: long time ago, and we stayed in some really it
• 4:30
  Speaker 2: was a it was a hotel that was part of
• 4:33
  Speaker 2: the but it was off off the park, but it
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: was still part of the whole thing. You had to
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: take a shuttle and then get on a boat to
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: go over to Yeah, you have to take a boat
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: to get there, yeah.
• 4:45
  Speaker 3: And which is kind of fun. The rit.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't like disney World I've been there a couple
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: of times, and I don't like it as well as Disneyland.
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: That's funny because the best Disney experience I've had has
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: been at disney World.
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: What I what I liked most about disney Land. Disney
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: World is spread out. Yeah, it's big, it's spread out. Disneyland,
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: it's all packed in packed. You know, you don't have
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: to walk for a mile to get to.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: The next Why was that your favorite?
• 5:13
  Speaker 5: My sister in law, Anna is a planner, and she
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: planned out the days for us, and we stayed at
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: a condo just off of Disney Springs, which is like
• 5:23
  Speaker 5: their downtown Disney.
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: So we didn't have to do the boat, but they
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: would come.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: And pick you up in the morning and take you
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: and the and the buses would come like every twenty minutes.
• 5:32
  Speaker 5: They call her Anna the Plant, Anna the Planet, and
• 5:39
  Speaker 5: it just was.
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: All laid out for you. Everything was taking there. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: didn't have to think.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: It was just like, oh, I'm supposed to report to
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: the rock and roller coaster, now, okay, I will h.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: So that was great.
• 5:50
  Speaker 5: Tokyo Disney is very inexpensive, but again that park is
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: not as good.
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: As it used to be. Oh it used to be. Yeah.
• 6:00
  Speaker 5: I went the first time and I loved it. The
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: second time I went did not love it. And I
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: found out in between is that it was owned by
• 6:08
  Speaker 5: the Japanese government and they just rented or leased everything
• 6:13
  Speaker 5: from Disney. But they maintained it and so everything worked
• 6:17
  Speaker 5: all the time. It was always clean, there were plenty
• 6:19
  Speaker 5: of employees everywhere. And then the second time we went,
• 6:23
  Speaker 5: we found out that some sort of financial firm bought
• 6:26
  Speaker 5: it and they run it, and they decided to cut
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: back so and you could tell a difference because you'd
• 6:32
  Speaker 5: go to a restaurant and the line to the cash
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: register it was two lines, and they'd take one from
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: the right, one from the left, one from the right,
• 6:41
  Speaker 5: one from the left. Not a great thing. But if
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: you are going to Anaheim, might I suggest this. There
• 6:49
  Speaker 5: is a tremendous lack of shade in Disneyland.
• 6:54
  Speaker 1: Bring your own, get one of those collapsible umbrellas, use it.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: You will thank me for that.
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: I were there not that long ago.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: I don't know why they haven't thought about these things.
• 7:10
  Speaker 5: You know, they keep building all of these places to
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: have your lunch and all of that.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: And none of them are shade, no shade.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: I don't understand why they aren't thinking about that.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: They just don't care. It could be could be ever
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: since they took out Country Bear Jamboree, I said, I'm
• 7:28
  Speaker 2: never going.
• 7:29
  Speaker 1: Let's back.
• 7:29
  Speaker 4: He is.
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: Maybe have to go.
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: It's not the traditional show. It's a different show.
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: I know that.
• 7:37
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: I don't want to. They probably are doing modern country songs.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: I don't want I would think you'd get blood on
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: the saddle. That's the greatest hit, you know.
• 7:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so should we now? Should we go to Tokyo
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: Disney when we're there or no, that's a question.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: I would say, go to Disney c which is right
• 7:57
  Speaker 5: next to Tokyo Oh okay uh.
• 8:00
  Speaker 1: It's like Sea World.
• 8:01
  Speaker 5: No, it's just called that because it's next to the ocean.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: But what's so, what's there?
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: It's just the second park.
• 8:10
  Speaker 5: You've got a Twilight Zone ride there, You've got to
• 8:14
  Speaker 5: all kinds of different attractions there.
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: There's the Jules Verne aspect of it.
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: There's a volcano in the middle of the park and
• 8:21
  Speaker 5: you can go into.
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: The volcano and it's that sounds dangerous. It's the Voyage
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: to the Voyage to the bottom of the twenty thousand
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: leagues under the sea.
• 8:30
  Speaker 5: There's that, but there's also the voyage to the Bottom
• 8:33
  Speaker 5: of the Earth Earth.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Oh, Journey the Center of the Fate, one of my
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: favorite movies. There's a ride based on that. Oh, that'd
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: be great.
• 8:40
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but it's a it's it's really amazing, right.
• 8:44
  Speaker 3: Maybe that are there bears there though, That's what I
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: was worried.
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: About, that I would check on the bear situation. Check
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: on that.
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: You never I mean, you never know. The bears seem
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: to be having their way with Japan right now.
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Apparently.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Uh yeah, Doctor Mike says, uh, we did the math.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: If you're staying at Disneyland, it is less expensive to
• 9:06
  Speaker 5: fly to Orlando and stay at disney World than at Disneyland.
• 9:09
  Speaker 4: Wow.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Yeah, no, I mean that's part of the plan with Anaheim.
• 9:15
  Speaker 5: I talked with a guy whose daughter worked for the park,
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: and she said that was the plant, is that they're
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: going to make it so expensive that only certain people
• 9:24
  Speaker 5: can go.
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: Really.
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, they want to cut down on the crowds, but
• 9:28
  Speaker 5: they want to keep the money.
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: And we don't want like some of the riff raft
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: that ends up here exactly some of some of the poor.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: The poors. We don't want the poors here.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: And people in there in their cutoff shorts, in their
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: sack lunches. They could go to Six Flags, they could
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: go to knots Bery Farm, knots Berry Farm, knots Bury Bury.
