0:40
SPEAKER_01: Also, no Harper.
0:43
SPEAKER_01: Because we didn't get a chance to record this with her, and frankly, we should have recorded this a couple months ago.
0:50
SPEAKER_01: A while back.
0:50
SPEAKER_01: It was only like a month and a half ago now.
0:52
SPEAKER_04: You're right, you're right.
0:53
SPEAKER_01: You're right.

1:00
SPEAKER_01: Uh yeah.
1:01
SPEAKER_01: So we're also eating popcorn, so no big deal.
1:04

1:19
SPEAKER_04: Ooh, a wild Wednesday night.
1:22
SPEAKER_01: So, um anyway, we're gonna talk about our our trip, but it I feel like we need some context to be laid before we get into it.
1:32
SPEAKER_04: Because so I will say this was not my favorite Disney trip we've ever taken.
1:39
SPEAKER_01: No.
1:40
SPEAKER_04: Because of this context we're going to lay.
1:42
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
1:43
SPEAKER_01: First of all, it was 187 degrees.
1:46
SPEAKER_04: It was awful.
1:47
SPEAKER_04: But we were on the surface of the sun.
1:48
SPEAKER_01: We were.
1:49
SPEAKER_01: And that's our own fault for going in June, but we had no choice because it's just when we could do it.
1:54
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
1:54
SPEAKER_01: With our schedule.
1:56
SPEAKER_03: So And the week before We were doing yard work.
2:01
SPEAKER_01: Now let me even lay some more groundwork on that.
2:04
SPEAKER_01: So there is there's a uh a neighborhood, Karen.
2:09
SPEAKER_05: Mm-hmm.
2:09
SPEAKER_01: And she has been going by houses and complaining about uh weeds and stuff like that.
2:16
SPEAKER_04: So now, did our yard need work?
2:19
SPEAKER_04: Yes.
2:20
SPEAKER_04: Yes, she was like, she wasn't lying.
2:23
SPEAKER_04: Our our yard did need work, but why does she care?
2:27
SPEAKER_01: But part of this, the side of our house it was contained, has never been it's always been that way.
2:33
SPEAKER_04: So yeah, it's always been covered in garden.
2:35
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, vines and you know stuff.
2:36
SPEAKER_04: Really pretty.
2:37
SPEAKER_01: Because you can't really see it, you know.
2:39
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
2:39
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, so we had to take care of this.
2:42
SPEAKER_04: Um I bet you can guess where this is going.
2:45
SPEAKER_01: So we did take care of it.
2:46
SPEAKER_01: And then Savannah and I.
2:50
SPEAKER_01: Savannah, much worse than me, by the way.
2:52
SPEAKER_01: We're gonna get there.
2:53
SPEAKER_01: But we both got a little case of poison ivy, poison oak, column A, column B situation.
2:58
SPEAKER_04: It was on my face.
3:00
SPEAKER_01: It was awful.
3:02
SPEAKER_04: It was everywhere.
3:03
SPEAKER_04: I had it on my face.
3:04
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, okay.
3:05
SPEAKER_04: I had it on my arms, my legs.
3:07
SPEAKER_04: I ended up getting it like around my torso.
3:10
SPEAKER_04: Oh my gosh.
3:11
SPEAKER_04: I've never been so uncomfortable in my life.
3:13
SPEAKER_01: I still have scars on my legs.
3:15
SPEAKER_01: I know you do too.
3:15
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I've got scars on my arms, on my legs.
3:18
SPEAKER_04: So And did you know, Tristan?
3:20
SPEAKER_04: Huh?
3:20
SPEAKER_04: That heat and humidity makes it worse.
3:23
SPEAKER_04: Can make it worse.
3:24
SPEAKER_01: I did, and we all learned that.
3:26
SPEAKER_04: We learned that in real time.
3:27
SPEAKER_01: So this happened, and then a few days later we flew to Florida.
3:32
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
3:34
SPEAKER_01: And it colored the experience a little bit for us, I think.
3:38
SPEAKER_01: So now we should say.
3:41
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
3:42
SPEAKER_01: This was Harper's trip she wanted to take because Harper and I have been to Disney several times in this past year without Miss Savannah, because Savannah's been I've been to Disney for a she's literally been a Disney princess on the Disney Adventure.
3:56
SPEAKER_01: Also, if you haven't listened to that episode, go back and listen to that.
4:00
SPEAKER_01: It's a cool, it's it's a great little recap that I did.
4:03
SPEAKER_01: Um anyway, so we had this period of time.
4:06
SPEAKER_01: We asked Harper what she wanted to do, and she was like, we should go back to Disney World as our trio because we haven't done that in a minute, and she's not wrong about that.
4:15
SPEAKER_04: And you know, I'm a cast member right now, so like it made sense for us to go there.
4:20
SPEAKER_01: And we got to stay at Coronado, which I love.
4:22
SPEAKER_04: We love.
4:22
SPEAKER_04: Oh my gosh.
4:23
SPEAKER_01: I have decided, by the way, Coronado Springs is second to Animal Kingdom Lodge, Kadami Village for me.
4:29
SPEAKER_01: And Harper too.
4:31
SPEAKER_04: Like, it is sorry, I just choked on a piece of popcorn.
4:35
SPEAKER_01: Uh Coronado Springs is deluxe, but it's not deluxe.
4:40
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, like it is so swanky and it's so lovely.
4:43
SPEAKER_01: It's my favorite.
4:44
SPEAKER_01: Like, Harper and I stayed there in the spring.
4:46
SPEAKER_01: We just stayed there in June.
4:47
SPEAKER_01: You and I stayed there last fall.
4:48
SPEAKER_04: I stayed there last summer for a night with my friend Ezekiel.
4:51
SPEAKER_01: Lovely.
4:51
SPEAKER_01: One of my favorites.
4:52
SPEAKER_01: It's so nice.
4:53
SPEAKER_01: I'll always stay there.
4:54
SPEAKER_04: I love the food so much.
4:55
SPEAKER_04: Oh, I love the vibes.
4:57
SPEAKER_01: Legit.

5:02
SPEAKER_04: So yeah.
5:04
SPEAKER_04: It was a great I I really loved it.
5:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
5:07
SPEAKER_01: And and for Jens and Sean, you'll appreciate the fact that we did not go crazy.
5:13
SPEAKER_04: We did not, I don't think we only did.
5:16
SPEAKER_04: We only park open to park close on the first day, I think.
5:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, everything else, it was pretty but bring up that notes app because it's been a month and a half and I don't exactly know.
5:26
SPEAKER_04: Day one, we got there, we were zonked because our flight was at 5 a.m.
5:30
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
5:30
SPEAKER_01: And so we just chilled because our room wasn't ready yet either.
5:34
SPEAKER_04: I fell asleep by the pool, which is great, honestly.
5:38
SPEAKER_01: I had to do some things for work, and it was really great to work from there, so I love that.
5:42
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
5:42
SPEAKER_04: If we ever get remote jobs, we're just gonna do it.

SPEAKER_04: Day two, I guess, technically, of the trip, but day one of the parks, we did, of course, Magic Kingdom.
5:58
SPEAKER_01: Did we do anything that first day besides just chill at Coronado?
6:02
SPEAKER_01: No, I'm thinking about it.

6:38
SPEAKER_01: We weren't sure for a hot second there.
6:40
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
6:41
SPEAKER_01: Um, but then yeah, it turned out to be a really great move.

SPEAKER_04: It's fab.
7:23
SPEAKER_04: And then we got a lavender cold brew as well.
7:27
SPEAKER_04: Lavender honey cold brew.
7:28
SPEAKER_04: Which the the cold brew was fine.
7:31
SPEAKER_04: The lavender foam was delish with the little honey sprinkles.

7:36
SPEAKER_04: Um we went to Big Thunder, which was our first time since they reopened.
7:41
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
7:41
SPEAKER_04: And we have thoughts.
7:42
SPEAKER_01: We can stop and talk about this for a moment.
7:45
SPEAKER_01: I'm not sure it's an improvement.
7:47
SPEAKER_04: No.
7:47
SPEAKER_01: In fact, I think it takes uh a little something away from it.
7:51
SPEAKER_04: I was underwhelmed.
7:52
SPEAKER_01: I was very underwhelmed.
7:53
SPEAKER_01: And for the golden nugget to be the big thing, I'm like, okay, that's nice, I guess.
8:01
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, I guess I I remembered it being way more fun.
8:06
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and maybe like I don't I'm just like misremembering it, but like it just felt anticlimactic the whole time to me, and Harper kind of agreed.
8:15
SPEAKER_01: So like the track is smoother, but I'm not sure that it's the wildest ride in the wilderness anymore.
8:21
SPEAKER_03: No, it felt slower.
8:22
SPEAKER_01: I felt that way too.
8:25
SPEAKER_04: Maybe I'm just going insane, and it had been so long since we had been on it.
8:29
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, maybe.
8:30
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
8:30
SPEAKER_01: So underwhelmed by that.
8:33
SPEAKER_04: Underwhelmed.
8:33
SPEAKER_01: We don't mean mean to be negative Nancy's, and I know a lot of people listen to us because we're more positive.
8:39
SPEAKER_01: Uh and those Jonathan and Tia, I'm sorry, that's it's uh turning into a little negative Nancy, but I promise we'll keep it upbeat.
8:47
SPEAKER_04: We'll keep it upbeat, I promise.
8:49
SPEAKER_04: Um then we did Tiana's Country Bears because we needed some AC.
8:53
SPEAKER_00: Yes.

SPEAKER_04: Haunted Mansion.
8:55

SPEAKER_04: We know you're judging us.
9:04
SPEAKER_01: But listen to me.
9:06

SPEAKER_01: I like the burger.
9:13
SPEAKER_01: I get it all the time.
9:14
SPEAKER_04: And Harper just wants chicken strips everywhere we go.

11:00
SPEAKER_01: For like 10 minutes.
11:01
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, each section of the show is different.

SPEAKER_04: And then we did the people mover because of course.
13:14
SPEAKER_01: Why not?
13:15
SPEAKER_04: And then we were a little cranky, so we got snacks.
13:17
SPEAKER_01: We did get snacks.
13:18
SPEAKER_04: I don't know what kind of snacks, it just says snacks.
13:20
SPEAKER_04: But I'm assuming it was popcorn and a Mickey Bar.
13:24
SPEAKER_00: Probably.
13:24
SPEAKER_04: Probably.
13:25
SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
13:25
SPEAKER_04: And we did Pirates Again.
13:27
SPEAKER_00: Of course.
13:27
SPEAKER_04: And Small World.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: Yes.
13:30
SPEAKER_00: We were not smart about that.
13:32
SPEAKER_00: Nope.
13:32
SPEAKER_00: At all.
13:33
SPEAKER_04: No.
13:34
SPEAKER_04: I don't know what we did there.
13:36
SPEAKER_04: Um, but then I remember this.
13:38
SPEAKER_04: We went to Pinocchio's village house.
13:40
SPEAKER_04: Yes.
13:41
SPEAKER_04: Um, because I was cranky, hungry, and did not know what I wanted to eat.
13:46
SPEAKER_04: And so I said, fine, we can have a flatbread.
13:49
SPEAKER_01: But not for nothing.
13:51
SPEAKER_01: Because I got the soup too.
13:52
SPEAKER_01: You do love the soup.
13:53
SPEAKER_01: And I dipped the flatbread in the soup.
13:55
SPEAKER_03: Yeah.
13:56
SPEAKER_01: And I have, folks, listen, I know you're thinking, why would you get soup in the middle of summer in Florida?
14:04
SPEAKER_01: And I'm telling you.
14:06
SPEAKER_03: That is a crazy move.
14:07
SPEAKER_01: It was, but it makes sense to me.
14:09
SPEAKER_01: And I'm still like gunning for my soup cafe in Epcot.
14:13
SPEAKER_01: One day it's gonna happen.
14:14
SPEAKER_03: I think you should you should talk to Josh.
14:16
SPEAKER_01: The rooftop soup cafe.
14:18
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
14:18
SPEAKER_01: I think is what we said.
14:19
SPEAKER_01: That's an episode you need to go back to when Sean and I dreamt up various dining options.
14:24
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, moving on.
14:26
SPEAKER_01: It was great.
14:26
SPEAKER_04: And we did some shopping.
14:28
SPEAKER_01: Oh yeah.
14:29
SPEAKER_04: I don't remember for what.
14:30
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
14:33
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
14:33
SPEAKER_04: Oh, we went to the ice cream parlor.
14:35
SPEAKER_04: Oh yeah.
14:36
SPEAKER_04: And we got a brownie sundae.
14:38
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that was great.
14:39
SPEAKER_01: And we ate it on a trash can.
14:40
SPEAKER_04: Mm-hmm.
14:41
SPEAKER_01: So we had a trash can picnic.
14:43
SPEAKER_04: We did.
14:44
SPEAKER_04: While we still can.
14:45
SPEAKER_01: Yes, while we still can.
14:46
SPEAKER_04: And then we watched the Starlight Parade.
14:49
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
14:50
SPEAKER_04: And Harper did a very grown-up thing.
14:52
SPEAKER_04: Oh, okay.
14:52
SPEAKER_04: Because she had seen the Starlight Parade before.
14:55
SPEAKER_04: I had not.
14:56
SPEAKER_01: She had seen it twice.
14:57
SPEAKER_04: And so she was She was like, Can I go on Tiana's?
15:01
SPEAKER_01: Because we were um we watched it from that area.
15:05
SPEAKER_01: So she went over and did Tiana's and Big Thunder while we watched it.
15:09
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, because she got done with Tiana's earlier than we expected, and we were like, girl, the the parade hasn't even come by yet.
15:15
SPEAKER_01: She goes, all right.
15:15
SPEAKER_04: She's like, okay, I'm gonna go to Big Thunder.
15:17
SPEAKER_04: And we're like, okay, so you at the exit.
15:18
SPEAKER_01: And then if I'm correct me if I'm wrong, I think then we went and met her and we did Tiana's again, didn't we?
15:24
SPEAKER_01: Yes, we sure did.
15:25
SPEAKER_01: Is that what we did?
15:25
SPEAKER_01: Now it's all coming back to me.
15:26
SPEAKER_04: Mm-hmm.
15:27
SPEAKER_04: And we watched the fireworks.
15:28
SPEAKER_04: No, we did fireworks, then Tiana's.
15:30
SPEAKER_01: Fireworks and Tiana's.
15:31
SPEAKER_01: Okay.
15:32
SPEAKER_04: I think.
15:32
SPEAKER_04: That's how it's listed on the how it was listed.
15:34
SPEAKER_01: Okay, that makes sense then.
15:35
SPEAKER_04: And then we went home.
15:36
SPEAKER_01: And then we yeah.
15:37
SPEAKER_01: We closed it though.
15:38
SPEAKER_04: We closed it down.
15:39
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
15:39
SPEAKER_04: Because they did have extended hours.
15:41
SPEAKER_01: Yes.
15:41
SPEAKER_01: So normies like us that weren't staying in deluxe.
15:44
SPEAKER_04: We had to go.
15:45
SPEAKER_01: We had to piece.
15:46
SPEAKER_01: Which was fine, honestly.
15:47
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, we were so tired.
15:48
SPEAKER_01: We were tired by that point.
15:50
SPEAKER_04: Um day two is light.
15:54
SPEAKER_04: Because we didn't go to the park.
15:55
SPEAKER_01: No, we didn't go to the park.
15:56
SPEAKER_01: What did we do?
15:58
SPEAKER_01: I know we didn't go to the park.
16:00
SPEAKER_01: Was that the Cape May?
16:01
SPEAKER_04: Yes, we took the um the bus to Hollywood Studios.
16:05
SPEAKER_04: And then we did the Skyliner to FCOP because you love the Skyliner movie.
16:09
SPEAKER_01: I do.
16:10
SPEAKER_04: And we walked over to the beach club.
16:12
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
16:13
SPEAKER_04: And we had brunch, a character brunch at Cape May Cafe.
16:16
SPEAKER_01: It was delicious.
16:18
SPEAKER_04: Which was amazing.
16:19
SPEAKER_01: I was such a fan of it.
16:20
SPEAKER_04: I don't know.
16:23
SPEAKER_04: I think we made a mistake back in 2022.
16:28
SPEAKER_04: Because when we went to Chef Mickey's, it was still being served family style instead of buffet.
16:36
SPEAKER_04: And we judged it based on that.
16:39
SPEAKER_04: And I feel like I was going into this thinking, uh, it's just gonna be an overpriced Chef Mickey situation.
16:46
SPEAKER_01: Absolutely not.
16:47
SPEAKER_04: It was so yummy, so delicious.
16:50
SPEAKER_01: And uh what was his name?
16:53
SPEAKER_01: The the super charismatic.
16:56
SPEAKER_01: Did I put it on here?
16:58
SPEAKER_01: No, I didn't.
16:58
SPEAKER_04: No, you didn't.
16:59
SPEAKER_01: I wrote it down somewhere, but he was so incredible.
17:03
SPEAKER_04: He was great, he had so much energy.
17:05
SPEAKER_01: Um, the guy even that served us was lovely.
17:07
SPEAKER_01: Um, but all the characters came around, and that was so cool.
17:11
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, but yeah, also the food.
17:12
SPEAKER_01: Oh my I don't think we ate for a while after that because that food was insane.
17:18
SPEAKER_03: Yeah, no.
17:19
SPEAKER_01: Um so highly recommend Kate Mae.
17:22
SPEAKER_01: Love it, love it, love it, love it.
17:23
SPEAKER_04: It was delicious.
17:24
SPEAKER_01: And then we went back to the resort.
17:26
SPEAKER_04: And we hung out at the pool.
17:27
SPEAKER_01: We just chilled.
17:28
SPEAKER_04: And um We got dinner with one of my friends.
17:31
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, from the ship.
17:32
SPEAKER_04: From my shi ship.
17:33
SPEAKER_04: He was one of our ASMs.
17:35
SPEAKER_04: I doubt he listens to this, but Alex, if you're listening, shout out.
17:38
SPEAKER_01: Oh, I don't even know if he knows that we do this.
17:40
SPEAKER_04: He has no idea.
17:41
SPEAKER_01: But that was lovely.
17:42
SPEAKER_01: We went to Skyline Chili.
17:44
SPEAKER_04: Skyline Chili!
17:45
SPEAKER_01: So that was the first.
17:47
SPEAKER_04: Not for me.
17:48
SPEAKER_01: Not for you, for me, which was kind of cool, but I made the mistake of uh I ordered too much.
17:53
SPEAKER_04: You ordered way too much food, especially after we had done it.
17:55
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, well, and I didn't know what the size was, really.
17:58
SPEAKER_01: You know what I mean?
17:59
SPEAKER_01: So I was like, okay.
18:00
SPEAKER_01: Um, but it was still lovely to go somewhere off property.
18:04
SPEAKER_01: That was kind of cool.
18:04
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
18:05
SPEAKER_04: And then picked us up and yeah, took us out on the town.
18:08
SPEAKER_01: We chilled.
18:09
SPEAKER_04: We rested, and then because we're crazy.
18:11
SPEAKER_01: Oh, that's right.
18:12
SPEAKER_04: Then we went we went back to the magic kingdom.
18:15
SPEAKER_01: Well, when the tickets don't cost you anything, you might as well.
18:18
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
18:19
SPEAKER_04: Um we did we wanted to go back during the fireworks because every time Harper says, We've already seen the fireworks.
18:27
SPEAKER_04: Let's just ride some rides, and I love the magic.
18:31
SPEAKER_01: But we did, I mean, we did.
18:32
SPEAKER_01: We did Space Mountain, and then we okay, so this Well, that's why we went back the second night.
18:38
SPEAKER_04: The first night we watched the fireworks.
18:39
SPEAKER_04: Right.
18:39
SPEAKER_04: So we had to go back Thursday night, right?
18:41
SPEAKER_04: So we could ride rides during the fire.
18:42
SPEAKER_01: So we did Space Mountain, which was great.
18:44
SPEAKER_01: But then Seven Doors wasn't a terribly long wait.
18:48
SPEAKER_04: And we we were hoping for maybe the same timing as last time.
18:53
SPEAKER_01: And I was worried for a hot minute that it wasn't gonna happen for us.
18:56
SPEAKER_04: And then if if you don't know, from our last time we went, or long maybe not last time, but a long time ago.
19:03
SPEAKER_04: We got in line for Seven Dwarves Mind Train about 20 minutes before the fireworks started.
19:11
SPEAKER_04: It said it was a 70-minute wait, and it ended up being 20 minutes.
19:15
SPEAKER_04: So we got on the ride right as the fireworks were starting, and it was beautiful.
19:20
SPEAKER_04: We cried and we were like, maybe we can recreate this experience.
19:25
SPEAKER_04: And then we were still waiting in line when the fireworks started.
19:28
SPEAKER_04: We were like, ah bummer.
19:31
SPEAKER_01: Then we finally get on the ride, and as we're coming out of the cave, finale finale of Happily Ever After is happening.
19:41
SPEAKER_03: Oh my gosh.
19:42
SPEAKER_01: And it was like we're cut I I mean, we could not have planned that bet and there's no way you can plan that.
19:47
SPEAKER_04: There's no way you can't plan that.
19:48
SPEAKER_04: I don't know how it's happened to us twice.
19:50
SPEAKER_01: But this this second time was even better because of just when it hit and at the right moment.
19:55
SPEAKER_04: And it was if you want to ride Seven Dwarfs and get a view of the fireworks, I recommend getting in line like 20-30 minutes before the the fireworks begin for the night.
20:07
SPEAKER_04: And it was because it may work out for you.
20:10
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, who knows, man.
20:11
SPEAKER_01: I don't know.
20:12
SPEAKER_01: I was worried that it wasn't going to.
20:14
SPEAKER_01: And then we did haunted because it was that like that was not, it was at like 13 minutes, right?
20:18
SPEAKER_01: Because I don't believe we waited in line for that event.
20:20
SPEAKER_04: It was 13, if you know you know.
20:22
SPEAKER_04: And then so we ran.
20:23
SPEAKER_01: And then we normally did Tiana's again.
20:25
SPEAKER_04: Because that's Harper's favorite.
20:26
SPEAKER_04: Why not?
20:26
SPEAKER_04: And my favorite, honestly.
20:27
SPEAKER_01: I love Tiana's.
20:29
SPEAKER_01: Um, and that was how we finished that day.
20:31

33:25
SPEAKER_01: Okay, here's the thing.
33:27
SPEAKER_01: So neither one of you guys have done American Adventure.
33:31
SPEAKER_04: No.
33:32
SPEAKER_01: And I there's a reason.
33:34
SPEAKER_01: I did it for the first time um on Christmas, and I was like, I think you need to see it once because the animatronics are impressive.
33:43
SPEAKER_01: When Mr.
33:43
SPEAKER_01: Franklin walks up the steps, still impressive.
33:47
SPEAKER_04: That part is very cool.
33:48
SPEAKER_04: So there is some cool stuff too.
33:50
SPEAKER_01: So I took them to the American Adventure.
33:54
SPEAKER_04: But you know, we had rope dropped, it was so hot out, the room got really dark.
34:01
SPEAKER_01: Yes, and you guys took a little nap.
34:03
SPEAKER_04: And I could not keep my eyes open.
34:06
SPEAKER_01: And then after that, oh, we did Remy.
34:10
SPEAKER_04: We did single rider.
34:12
SPEAKER_04: Um so then we tried to our top to Hollywood Studios.
34:17
SPEAKER_01: And the Skyliner was down.
34:19
SPEAKER_01: It broke down that day, which caused a little bit of a wrench in the day, not gonna lie.
34:24
SPEAKER_01: Um because of how they have to transfer people.
34:28
SPEAKER_01: How did we get back to Coronado?
34:30
SPEAKER_04: Did we we walked?
34:31
SPEAKER_04: Here's what did we do?
34:33
SPEAKER_04: Here's what happened.
34:34
SPEAKER_04: We were dumb and we were like, okay, we'll just walk to Now I remember we'll just walk to the yacht club or the beach club and and take a bus.
34:42
SPEAKER_04: I don't think they have a bus to Hollywood Studios because they have the Skyliner.
34:46
SPEAKER_04: Right.
34:47
SPEAKER_04: At least the bus schedule said take Skyliner.
34:50
SPEAKER_04: So it did not tell us if there was a bus coming.
34:52
SPEAKER_04: So we walked back to the Skyliner, and they were like, you can wait in line for the Skyliner, and then we'll take you down to a bus and take you to Hollywood Studios.
35:01
SPEAKER_04: And we were like, okay.
35:02
SPEAKER_04: So we get in this line, we're there for maybe 15 minutes.
35:06
SPEAKER_04: There's no movement at all.
35:08
SPEAKER_04: It's hot, we're dehydrated, we're cranky, we're over it.
35:13
SPEAKER_01: We're over it.
35:14
SPEAKER_04: So I say, We're leaving when we get out of the line.
35:17
SPEAKER_01: And we just walked to the Ecco.
35:18
SPEAKER_04: So we walked back into Epcot.
35:20
SPEAKER_04: We scanned back in.
35:22
SPEAKER_04: And uh that was the most miserable walk, I think, ever.
35:28
SPEAKER_04: Because we had to walk from World Showcase.
35:31
SPEAKER_00: The International Gateway.
35:32
SPEAKER_04: The International Gateway all the way to the other end of the way.
35:36
SPEAKER_04: And any store we saw, we walked through.
35:39
SPEAKER_01: And we did get cold beverages on the way, which was good.
35:42
SPEAKER_04: I'm not one to drink Starbucks while I'm at Disney, but we walked into that Starbucks the Connections Cafe.
35:50
SPEAKER_01: Well, we didn't do now that I'm thinking about this as we're talking about it.
35:53
SPEAKER_01: We didn't go into Club Cool.
35:54
SPEAKER_04: Oh, for the free soda?
35:56
SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
35:56
SPEAKER_04: Well, that's because it's gross.
35:58
SPEAKER_01: No, there are two that are lovely.
36:00
SPEAKER_04: Which ones?
36:01
SPEAKER_01: It's like the Philippines one.
36:03
SPEAKER_01: I've posted the pictures of them, but there's two that I really like.
36:06
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, so then we headed back to Coronado um for another pool moment.
36:14
SPEAKER_01: And then our cats are doing the cutest.
36:20
SPEAKER_01: Take a picture of that.
36:21
SPEAKER_01: Okay.

36:42
SPEAKER_01: It's so cute that they were cuddling.
36:44
SPEAKER_04: Anyway, so then we moved back to the back to Coronado for a pool moment.
36:47
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and then we had dinner at Rick's.
36:49
SPEAKER_04: Which was really good.
36:49
SPEAKER_04: Which was great.
36:50
SPEAKER_04: Like a steak sandwich.
36:51
SPEAKER_01: I had a grilled cheese and tomato soup situation, which was delightful.
36:55
SPEAKER_01: Um and then let's see.
36:59
SPEAKER_01: What I don't know what happened because you took the the the notes over there.
37:04
SPEAKER_01: We also this week are cat sitting two cats for our uh a friend of ours, and our other cats are just upset about it.
37:15
SPEAKER_01: Anyway, so we did dinner at Rick's, and that was great.
37:18
SPEAKER_01: And then we went back to Magic Kingdom, and we this was our final night, essentially.
37:26
SPEAKER_01: So we did Magic Kingdom, we did Pirates and Fill Hard Magic randomly.
37:31
SPEAKER_04: But it was like We needed an AC moment.
37:34
SPEAKER_01: And it was very busy from what I remember.
37:37
SPEAKER_01: So we we went over to Hollywood Studios because we had not been able to do Rise of the Resistance because it had been down or an insane weight the whole time.
37:46
SPEAKER_01: So we wanted to prioritize that.
37:48
SPEAKER_04: Then we did a uh Tower of Terror, which was our final attraction of the evening, but but then we ran into some of your friends from the Yes, I got to see my friends Danny and Chelsea.
37:58
SPEAKER_04: They're both dancers on the ship, they are amazing, and it was so good to see them.
38:03
SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and it was really great.
38:05
SPEAKER_01: And I uh yeah, it was so great because I had met them briefly.
38:09
SPEAKER_04: Yeah, but they got to meet Harper, and that's cool because I talk about her all the time on the ship, and they were like, oh my gosh, is this your girl?
38:18
SPEAKER_04: And I was like, Yes.
38:20
SPEAKER_01: And then that's kind of how our evening ended, and then we went back to Coronado.
38:25
SPEAKER_01: This was the best thing though.
38:28
SPEAKER_01: I don't know, the last like 15 times I've gone, I think I've had to fly out so early that like I've had to like Mears has picked us up at like 2 or 3 a.m.
38:38
SPEAKER_01: because this we did not fly out until later in the day.
38:42
SPEAKER_01: So we had a kind of a leisurely morning, which was great.
38:46
SPEAKER_04: So nice.
38:46
SPEAKER_01: And um, we spent the morning at the resort.
38:50
SPEAKER_01: There was no rush, and then picked us up around noon, I think.
38:54
SPEAKER_04: Yeah.
38:57
SPEAKER_01: And then we went to the airport, flew out, and then drove back.
39:00
SPEAKER_04: Like I will say, even though I was like crazy uncomfortable, and the the heat was just awful, like literally one of the days was feels like 107.
39:12
SPEAKER_04: That's that's how bad it was out there.
39:14

39:24
SPEAKER_04: And this was the most chilled trip we've ever had.

39:38
SPEAKER_01: Well, and Harper did a good job of teaching that on spring break.
39:41
SPEAKER_01: And I told you before we went, I was like, dude, Harper changes how she does things.
39:45
SPEAKER_01: So like and here's this is I've said this out loud a few times, but I might be a little Walt Disney worlded out.
39:55
SPEAKER_04: I think I might be too right now.
39:57
SPEAKER_01: Um, and and that's I mean, I'm very lucky to be able to have gone as many times as I've gone through.
40:02
SPEAKER_01: You went a lot less than a lot of we are located in the Midwest, Iowa, Illinois area, right?

40:09
SPEAKER_01: So, like, and Harper did pick the summer trip.
40:11
