  [SPEAKER_00]: And welcome to very amusing!
• 0:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Your one-stop shop for the stories, secrets, and genanigans of a popcorn field theme park journalist.
• 0:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm Carly Waisel, and I just realize I've been talking to Jeff for the past two weeks because I'm like it always sounds like I'm hitting my mic.
• 0:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: It always sounds like I'm hitting it and I'm not.
• 0:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't know what I'm doing to make that sound.
• 0:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think I just figured it out.
• 0:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's that the cord that I use to connect my microphone to my computer was kind of slapping the side of my stand up desk attachment thing.
• 0:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was making that noise.
• 0:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully hopefully it will not happen again.
• 0:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: But also I'm standing here wearing the shushiest shorts.
• 0:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's what my friend Erin always called them in high school.
• 0:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like shushy shorts.
• 0:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you can hear that but if you just did they're like rustily kind of like running short material so we're gonna have to change before we do the rest of this fantastic episode which obviously I haven't done it yet but the calls are so good that I can't wait to share them with you real quick before we do that though I have talked about this online but I need to talk about it verbally
• 1:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I went to go see Jesus Christ Superstar Live at Hollywood Bowl last night, and I of course, I'm an interloid Weber, huge fan, but I've never seen this musical.
• 1:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not familiar with it.
• 1:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, I had like, my musical theater moment in school, but it was when they kind of the shows that we were a part of, the shows that like, like when the older kids did lay miss, like that was a huge moment in our lives, but I never really just sought out other musicals beyond like the main ones that I knew.
• 1:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I was unfamiliar with it.
• 1:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my lord.
• 1:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was fantastic.
• 1:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess here.
• 1:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cynthia Arriva sing live, which really feels like the ultimate bucket list moment.
• 1:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: The best singer in the entire world sing live.
• 1:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: And also Adam Lambert, like the Cynthia Arriva overall is the attention, but Adam Lambert was so good.
• 1:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So good, like, these people opened their mouths and the sound that came out blew my mind.
• 1:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was, it was exceptional.
• 1:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so glad I went and it really feels like the best Hollywood Bull moment I have had.
• 2:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Since the Muppets took over Hollywood Bull, which was the greatest show I've ever seen there.
• 2:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Since the Arrivo, I love you, but you do not compare to Muppets live on stage with Muppets.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was wonderful.
• 2:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And now I feel like I have a second core memory of my time in LA.
• 2:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was really nice.
• 2:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was just really nice.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a wonderful show.
• 2:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a wonderful show.
• 2:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I gotta tell you, I am not one to be, I'm stitching my shorts.
• 2:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not one to be like celebrities because I live in LA and they live here too.
• 2:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you know, they're just doing their jobs and living their lives.
• 2:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I will say someone who watches sitcoms, it was like,
• 2:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: One person from every show was there.
• 2:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was a real Ellie night.
• 2:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was really exciting and really felt like a life like oh like Hollywood came out for this.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was really fun.
• 2:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: I had a great time and a great time Um, okay, I'm just gonna say it again like I'm not I'm not phased by many things, but I did see bones
• 2:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not the actress who plays bones.
• 2:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not bones.
• 2:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And when I said this to a few people, they said, oh David Borean is no, he was not bones.
• 2:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: He was Mr. Bones, I guess technically by marriage.
• 3:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, spoiler alert, but like inevitable, they have like twelve seasons or something like it was gonna happen.
• 3:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, I saw bones.
• 3:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's a bunch of really exciting.
• 3:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: She's so cool.
• 3:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, we're gonna get into the episode, but just needed to tell like it.
• 3:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I already told my subscribers on Instagram, but I have to tell everybody.
• 3:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, stick around and have a really fun one.
• 3:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: So many good calls.
• 3:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I cannot wait.
• 3:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: We have a new segment from Becky this week, which you should listen to because there are new discounts.
• 3:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's a very rare discount ahead.
• 3:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Take a listen and enjoy.
• 3:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'll see you on the other side.
• 3:35
  [UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Welcome back.
• 3:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, just to give you a lay of the land, so you're not like, what are these endless stream of calls ahead?
• 3:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've kind of grouped them into categories.
• 3:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're going to be talking about one of the four-end Disney parks soon for, and to me, at least.
• 3:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then we're going to be talking about a few responses to my Disney World Hotel rankings.
• 4:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then we have a smattering of calls about Disney parks, resorts, cruise line, like a few random things that I really want to group together so that you can get the answers that you need, and we can also talk about stuff.
• 4:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Then we have a little bit of bucket list dreaming followed by,
• 4:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just a reminder that I think we should all take part in.
• 4:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are going to start, though, with the one I am most proud of and most excited to tell you about.
• 4:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: So, here you go!
• 4:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here is our church hotline episode.
• 4:30
  [SPEAKER_01]: Enjoy!
• 4:38
  [SPEAKER_05]: This is actually for me guys to do a good thing so much for influencing us to go on Disney Cruises.
• 4:43
  [SPEAKER_05]: We went on our first last or the previous spring and we're going on our next one in April and the thing I cannot stop thinking about is the pineapple black theme salad that is both on Tastery Key and Lighthouse Key and I've been trying to find a doop recipe and have not had success.
• 4:59
  [SPEAKER_05]: There are lots of recipes out there for our pineapple black theme salad and none of them taste quite the same.
• 5:04
  [SPEAKER_05]: I'm guessing it's because of the vinaigrette they use so if you have any
• 5:08
  [SPEAKER_05]: Look out to the rest of me if they're using and can share that publicly or like slide it into my DM secretly.
• 5:14
  [SPEAKER_05]: I won't ever tell my source except for right now in this air where I'm doing it out loud.
• 5:19
  [SPEAKER_05]: But I would it would like revolutionize my entire familiar planning.
• 5:23
  [SPEAKER_05]: I would love it so much.
• 5:24
  [SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, you have me sources or suggestions on how to make that delicious pineapple buck bean salad.
• 5:29
  [SPEAKER_05]: I would
• 5:30
  [SPEAKER_05]: Love it.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_05]: Thank you so much.
• 5:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Have a great day.
• 5:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, Ashley, have I got some news for you?
• 5:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, what we need to talk about before we talk about this black bean salad is that this call is from May eight teams.
• 5:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: But by golly, I've done it.
• 5:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: It took me three months.
• 5:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think it was going to happen, but to my shock and surprise, it did.
• 5:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, a lot of times when I get calls like this, I do reach out, and sometimes I get an answer sometimes I don't.
• 5:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And for this one, I emailed, it must have been maybe twice, and I didn't hear anything back.
• 6:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I figured, okay, maybe they just can't give me the recipe.
• 6:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's not a priority.
• 6:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, there's like a lot more going on.
• 6:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: It didn't cruise line than getting me a recipe, which I understand.
• 6:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: So to my surprise, on July, twenty fifth.
• 6:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: A story magically appears on Disney Park's vlog called Disney Eats.
• 6:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Plant based recipe from Disney Cruise Line.
• 6:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And oh yeah, it is the grilled pineapple and black bean salsa that you are talking about.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: We got it.
• 6:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: We got the recipe and it's like the official recipe.
• 6:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is on the website.
• 6:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will put this in in the show notes that you can access it, but we got it.
• 6:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I don't think is I don't see any vinegarette in here.
• 6:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe it's the jalapeno pepper, the zest of one lime, the olive oil, I don't know.
• 6:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: But we got the recipe for you, and I couldn't be more excited.
• 6:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was sent to me after, and someone was like, oh, here you go!
• 6:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was from an unexpected person who I did not think had even heard me asking, and put on to the ether, like, people would love if you shared this recipe, and we got it done.
• 7:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm so excited about it.
• 7:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: So enjoy, it looks delicious.
• 7:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think I, I assume I've had this on the islands, but if I haven't, this is definitely a priority for when I go back.
• 7:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you so much for your call.
• 7:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for listening.
• 7:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for loving Disney Cruise Line as much as I do.
• 7:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm so glad I was able to do this.
• 7:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so excited about it.
• 7:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: The next two calls are kind of like long lost sister calls.
• 7:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we're gonna play them together and then answer them in tandem.
• 7:26
  [SPEAKER_14]: Hi, this is Edelena.
• 7:30
  [SPEAKER_14]: I am going to be going on a work trip to France in late September.
• 7:35
  [SPEAKER_14]: And I just found out I'm going to have a full weekend by myself in Paris.
• 7:40
  [SPEAKER_14]: Obviously, looking to go to Disney and Juan there, I just went back through your episodes and I really did.
• 7:45
  [SPEAKER_14]: You only had one, I believe, on Disneyland Paris, and it was during COVID times.
• 7:50
  [SPEAKER_14]: So, I was wondering if you had any resources, or then, if another trove, hotline call, to talk about like Disneyland Paris planning, yeah, it'll just be myself for one day, so trying to figure out
• 8:03
  [SPEAKER_14]: The best things to do, quit it all.
• 8:04
  [SPEAKER_14]: I know they're like, from an access pass has changed a ton since you went, so you could point me towards anyone that has the best decision in pair setting.
• 8:13
  [SPEAKER_14]: I would really appreciate it.
• 8:14
  [SPEAKER_14]: Thanks.
• 8:16
  [SPEAKER_11]: Hi, Carly.
• 8:18
  [SPEAKER_11]: This is KCM from Los Angeles.
• 8:21
  [SPEAKER_11]: I'm going to be in Paris in October, and I'm going to take a day to sneak away to do Disneyland Paris, but I'm trying to decide if it's worth it to do
• 8:31
  [SPEAKER_11]: a park offer ticket or if I should just focus on Disneyland Paris.
• 8:36
  [SPEAKER_11]: Then you advice that you have would be appreciated.
• 8:38
  [SPEAKER_11]: Thank you so much for the podcast, bye bye.
• 8:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am admittedly behind undoing a new Disneyland Paris episode.
• 8:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: I owe you guys one.
• 8:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I owe you one and I'm so sorry that both of you and probably even more people are going to Disneyland Paris and I don't.
• 8:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't have a guide that I can easily give to you to be completely honest, which I feel like I can talk about on here, which is probably fine.
• 8:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like it's only that at this point.
• 9:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: There was a point when Disneyland Paris was going to bring me to the park specifically to do a podcast episode, which was very exciting and very fun.
• 9:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I was very postpartum, and it was just not feasible to just spend like thirty hours in Disneyland Paris only to turn back around.
• 9:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: It just, it didn't come together.
• 9:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I traveled a lot after Pearl was born, but this was like immediately of the newborn, so it was just simply
• 9:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't get it off the ground.
• 9:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't sell it.
• 9:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I couldn't sell it to the family.
• 9:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I am behind and I will hopefully be getting there.
• 9:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's maybe in twenty twenty six.
• 9:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully soon there is so much coming to that resort.
• 9:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are basically redoing and renaming their second park.
• 9:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: So in the future there will be so, so, so, so, so much.
• 9:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: But there is still so much to see and do there.
• 9:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I hope you have the best time.
• 9:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, while I am not the point person to guide you on your Disneyland Paris adventure, in this moment, the girl you want to go to is Sam For God.
• 9:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Sam For Sam, I say I'm for number four and then G zero D. I think on Sam's YouTube channel.
• 10:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's also it's G zero D. Sam is an incredible creator.
• 10:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: and not recommend Sam enough.
• 10:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I fully fan-girled when I saw her at D-Twenty-three last year.
• 10:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I lost my mind.
• 10:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I'm your biggest fan, I can't wait to meet you, and we were DMing, and I'm so exciting.
• 10:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I always tell people to go to her YouTube channel, her videos are so comprehensive, and so easy to watch.
• 10:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I say this is someone who does not really spend time watching YouTube videos.
• 10:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I find her like intrancing and cannot get enough of it.
• 10:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Really gives you that kind of like, I'm your friend at Disneyland Paris, and I'm gonna show you the ropes.
• 10:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: She is fantastic.
• 10:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: and she has you covered with ivory like first time or things you need to know tips all those videos she has and I highly recommend.
• 10:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now my personal opinion, my personal favorites.
• 10:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, off the cuff, the place I eat almost every single time I've there, I've been there.
• 10:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, maybe four, five times at this point, but almost every time I go, I eat at a net's diner.
• 10:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not just because I like the vibe, but because the food around the parks is a bad, it's bad.
• 11:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I feel confident saying that even though my journalist brain is like you haven't been there in a minute, can you really say that?
• 11:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I sure can't.
• 11:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: because I have lots of personal evidence for my experience there.
• 11:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have never not gotten in a fight with my family because one of us was hungry.
• 11:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's just how it is.
• 11:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: The one time that we did okay was in my husband and I brought full sandwiches from Paris.
• 11:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I highly, highly recommend doing that.
• 11:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Pack a snack at a minimum.
• 11:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if you're like, no, I'm going to a Disney park.
• 11:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Listen to me.
• 11:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Listen to me.
• 11:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let my voice ring in your jet lag deers when you are in Paris.
• 11:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bring a snack you will not regret it.
• 11:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now this park is pretty, oh, I don't know how I got that message.
• 11:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you just heard that, that was my mom texting me, even though I'm on to not disturb.
• 11:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: My phone knows that my mom's got to cut through.
• 11:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, now you can drink it, select locations in this park, which is pretty wild.
• 11:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: They do coffee well, and it's nice because it's not too expensive from what I remember, so it's like easy to kind of get your caffeine fill if you're traveling.
• 11:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Usually when I go to Disneyland Paris, it's the first stop from the airport, because it's kind of on the way.
• 12:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's why everything is a little coded in jet lag.
• 12:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the stuff you can't miss,
• 12:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
• 12:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: If it's open, you gotta do it.
• 12:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: You gotta do it.
• 12:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is an experience unlike anything else.
• 12:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that is all I'm gonna say.
• 12:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Phantom Manor.
• 12:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: Read up on it.
• 12:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Before you go on the ride, the ride is like, I find to be not very self-explanatory.
• 12:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a little confusing.
• 12:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And like, Haunted Mansion isn't the clearest storyline either.
• 12:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: But Phantom Manor, I'm always like, wait, so let her in.
• 12:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it's a must-do.
• 12:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's just, it's different from Haunted Mansion.
• 12:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It only exists there.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's pretty special.
• 12:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I recommend.
• 12:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do at least one thing in fantasy land even if it's like tea cups because it's a beautiful setup even if it's it's a small world to just get like to see a different perspective on it Even if it's just a classic ride because it's a little French and it's a little different do something in fantasy land and you will be charmed When you approach the castle go inside to the left for a surprise I'm not gonna ruin it for you, but just make sure you don't miss that
• 12:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, keep in mind that the coaster coasters like the real thrill rides are not smooth or not as smooth as you may be used to with the domestic parks.
• 13:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I've said this on Mike a hundred times.
• 13:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just, I feel like I've said it not to be like, you haven't heard this meaning like, oh, I feel like I've said this a lot.
• 13:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if you've heard this, I apologize, but their space mountain goes upside down, which I was so excited for when I first went to DLP and it was so jostling that I cried after because my head hurts so much.
• 13:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I say that not to complain, but just to make sure you know in case like physically you would like to know that beforehand.
• 13:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you can, stay for fireworks because they look bananas, they look extremely cool.
• 13:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And when it comes to, should I do both parks in one day?
• 13:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: It really comes down to how much you want to go on crushes coaster.
• 13:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: The second park there, Walt Disney Studios Park, going to be Disney Adventure World, which is probably the worst possible name for SEO in the entire world, but we're not going to get into it.
• 13:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are in the middle of a
• 13:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: huge remodel in redesign there are a lot of very cool things coming to that park and they haven't really been built yet so the the best version of this park is going to be in the future on a trip if you return however there is still stuff to see um crushers coaster is sick they have an Avengers campus which again it has a coaster that I wouldn't I wouldn't be a little physically nervous to go on but crushers coaster so here's the deal
• 14:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Everyone comes back raving about it.
• 14:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is extremely fun, but it's not really the seeming is there, but it's not like the most steamed environment you've ever been on.
• 14:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you've heard about it, you'd probably be so much surprised to know that there's only really show scenes at the beginning, and then you're kind of mostly in the dark.
• 14:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, the ride I would compare it to the most is the mummy at Hollywood.
• 14:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, at Universal Studios, Hollywood and the mummy, it's just kind of like, you have a few show moments and then you're just inside the room with the track.
• 14:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's kind of how this feels.
• 14:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is extremely fun.
• 14:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: But there isn't anything there that I think, if you missed out, it's like, oh, well, you didn't see Disney and it's finest.
• 14:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that is some more an experience we get in Disneyland Paris at the main park.
• 15:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: But it's really fun.
• 15:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's really fun, and it's a really good time, and if you're into spinning around, I recommend.
• 15:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is like a cute, it's a cute ride.
• 15:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I always love to do it.
• 15:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: If I don't get to do it, I'm a little sad.
• 15:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't think it is, if you have one day, I do think that the experiences you can have elsewhere for the time might be more beneficial.
• 15:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: That it all helps you decide if you should go to both parks or one.
• 15:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would say probably, I would rather take like sixty minutes of meandering in the most beautiful park,
• 15:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: over waiting in Crush Coaster.
• 15:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Crush Coaster is fun, but that's just where I'm at.
• 15:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope that is helpful.
• 15:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will give you more when I go eventually, but if you have questions about like premiere access, they have premiere access, premiere access, one premiere access ultimate.
• 15:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: They also, these things have changed so much over time.
• 15:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Definitely check out Sam's channels and have the best time, both of you.
• 15:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope you like end up going at the same time.
• 15:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: How cool would that be?
• 15:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like internet friends arriving in the same destination.
• 15:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: Have so much fun!
• 15:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, Paris and go into it.
• 16:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I want to go Disney and Paris.
• 16:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, have so much fun for me.
• 16:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, bye.
• 16:28
  [SPEAKER_13]: You've had this experience or what you thought of this.
• 16:31
  [SPEAKER_13]: So on my trip, this actually happened twice.
• 16:35
  [SPEAKER_13]: Get up in the morning, go over to the skyliner, plan to get to F-COT, we get there, and the skyliner is closed because of an approaching storm.
• 16:45
  [SPEAKER_13]: Got it, no problem.
• 16:46
  [SPEAKER_13]: So we are told to head to the bus stop, walk down to the bus stop, and we get there, and this gentleman is working there, and he's like, oh, where are you going?
• 16:58
  [SPEAKER_13]: And we're like, oh, we're going to Epcot.
• 17:00
  [SPEAKER_13]: And he said, oh, no, there's no bus to Epcot.
• 17:02
  [SPEAKER_13]: You have to take the Skyliner.
• 17:04
  [SPEAKER_13]: And we're like, oh, no, no, the Skyliner is closed because of an approaching storm.
• 17:09
  [SPEAKER_13]: And he goes on his radio.
• 17:11
  [SPEAKER_13]: And he's like, no, the Skyliner is open.
• 17:13
  [SPEAKER_13]: And we're like, OK, great.
• 17:14
  [SPEAKER_13]: Must have cleared up.
• 17:16
  [SPEAKER_13]: So do you go back to the Skyliner and the Skyliner's closed?
• 17:20
  [SPEAKER_13]: Yeah.
• 17:20
  [SPEAKER_13]: So we took it over that day.
• 17:23
  [SPEAKER_13]: And something like that happened again later in our trip.
• 17:28
  [SPEAKER_13]: and we were pretty frustrated and kind of bad to never stay at a skyline or resort again.
• 17:35
  [SPEAKER_13]: So we're just wondering, is this something that you've experienced or you've heard of?
• 17:39
  [SPEAKER_13]: Has the process gotten any better?
• 17:42
  [SPEAKER_13]: As skyline or resort, just with a couple of years ago, so Riviera was new is, but definitely at least the year old.
• 17:54
  [SPEAKER_13]: Anyway, whole thing has gotten better, but would love to kind of hear your thoughts on this.
• 18:00
  [SPEAKER_13]: Love your show, love listening, makes my commute bearable, so thank you so much.
• 18:04
  [SPEAKER_13]: Keep it up.
• 18:05
  [SPEAKER_13]: Take care.
• 18:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hi, okay.
• 18:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: So what I'm going to start by saying is that you are completely correct.
• 18:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Do I completely correct any experience that you had seems extremely annoying?
• 18:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Extremely annoying.
• 18:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is too much back and forth for the amount of money you're paying for a room and Disney's Rivera resort straight up.
• 18:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: That is too much.
• 18:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I guess I'm just pretty optimistic about the skyliner on paper, but you are correct.
• 18:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: This just happened.
• 18:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It can stop for weather, it can stop for malfunctions.
• 18:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if I discussed this on the recap episode after I stayed from up at prom and when I stayed at Disney's Riviera resort, but I'm pretty sure I spilled the beans on this.
• 18:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I was talking to someone because we went from Hollywood studios back to Riviera.
• 18:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you have to take two legs of the skylight.
• 18:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you have to take one leg of it, get off the skyliner, which is the gondola transportation in Disney world, for anyone who doesn't know.
• 18:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then you have to get on the second leg of it to go to your hotel.
• 18:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And the one that specifically goes to Riviera Resort and then Epcot was not working at the time.
• 19:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we were talking to the person working.
• 19:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we're like, do you think it's gonna open later?
• 19:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: How long do you think it'll be?
• 19:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they're like, oh, do we have a few hours?
• 19:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: We have to cycle through.
• 19:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is a non-weather related closure.
• 19:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they basically were like, yeah, we were supposed to have scheduled maintenance and they didn't do it.
• 19:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: So now it just breaks down all the time.
• 19:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I was like, you definitely should not have mentioned that to a journalist, but Oki Dokes.
• 19:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: So that's what I heard on the ground.
• 19:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, that is one random cast member.
• 19:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: Not going to get anyone in trouble.
• 19:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: Don't even remember their name or what they looked like.
• 19:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: But that is something that was mentioned to me as a random paying Disney guest as for why the Skyler can shut down.
• 19:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it did shut down.
• 19:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think twice during our visit once then and once another time but we weren't using it that time and it is a bummer because that's a big selling point for that hotel.
• 19:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: What I think this Skyliner makes up for is that
• 19:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I would say to hotel that costs less, so a non-deluxe hotel, which are the other hotels that also use the Skyliner, I think it's a huge bonus for those.
• 20:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do find when I'm staying at Ruby era, it's like, this is the perky paid for it, to be a Skyliner away from Epcot.
• 20:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: But then when you're saying somewhere like Caribbean Beach to have options to two parks without having to disembark and then reembark.
• 20:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Without having to get off one and get on another, like just immediately getting on one or the other, I think Caribbean Beach is so centrally located that it's such a benefit for them.
• 20:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And also devil's advocate, let's keep in mind, generally speaking, not the annoying situation you dealt with because that's so annoying.
• 20:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: Generally speaking, if you don't go on the skyline or you go on a bus and the bus is like the default transportation.
• 20:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's kind of like you might get a, you might get a fun little ride or you'll just take this standard thing we've all been taking.
• 20:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's the baseline.
• 20:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And then it happened to roll the dice.
• 20:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Again, I do think it is weighted differently between resorts.
• 20:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's why I consider it more of a benefit for one of the, you know, like a moderate level hotel.
• 20:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I guess I'm just, I don't know.
• 20:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love a monorail and I love being in the sky.
• 20:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really enjoy it and I just, oh,
• 21:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hit my chair.
• 21:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was so excited.
• 21:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I absolutely see what you're saying.
• 21:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if it works out, it does.
• 21:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's great.
• 21:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if it doesn't work out, it's really flipping annoying.
• 21:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: So thank you for your perspective.
• 21:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: You are right.
• 21:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I deserve to be called in about this.
• 21:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: You are correct.
• 21:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you were not the only one.
• 21:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I don't think that.
• 21:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for your call.
• 21:20
  [SPEAKER_04]: Hi, Carly.
• 21:21
  [SPEAKER_04]: This is Lauren, annual passholder for the resident.
• 21:25
  [SPEAKER_04]: Love your latest episode of ranking the Walt Disney World Resort.
• 21:30
  [SPEAKER_04]: I mostly agree with all of your call-outs you were spot on.
• 21:34
  [SPEAKER_04]: Two of them, those stick out, or things that you didn't mention.
• 21:39
  [SPEAKER_04]: Number one, Board Rock Resort, I completely agree in its place on the list and may even put it lower for this one reason a lot of people don't talk about.
• 21:47
  [SPEAKER_04]: If it is raining outside, Florida has thunderstorms, lightning, bad weather.
• 21:52
  [SPEAKER_04]: You have no food options inside the resort.
• 21:56
  [SPEAKER_04]: You have to go outside on the boardwalk for everything.
• 21:59
  [SPEAKER_04]: You want to court dogs?
• 22:00
  [SPEAKER_04]: You're on the boardwalk.
• 22:01
  [SPEAKER_04]: You want to slice a pizza?
• 22:02
  [SPEAKER_04]: You've got to go outside and get your poncho.
• 22:05
  [SPEAKER_04]: It's no blame, though.
• 22:06
  [SPEAKER_04]: It's a total nightmare, especially with little kids, running out, darting for to go boxes of food to bring back to your room.
• 22:12
  [SPEAKER_04]: No, doesn't work.
• 22:15
  [SPEAKER_04]: Second thing that I don't maybe agree with you on is your ranking of AOA, simply because of the option for the family suite.
• 22:25
  [SPEAKER_04]: I really can't think of another resort that has that kind of option.
• 22:29
  [SPEAKER_04]: That's my dog.
• 22:31
  [SPEAKER_04]: At that point, I just feel like it's a niece that's staying home, that other places don't.
• 22:37
  [SPEAKER_04]: And if you're trying to stay away from that.
• 22:42
  [SPEAKER_04]: That's your best option.
• 22:43
  [SPEAKER_04]: Anyways, keep up the great work.
• 22:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Love you.
• 22:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just going to see it.
• 22:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Extremely valid critiques extremely dog critiques.
• 22:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to thank you for them because you are absolutely right.
• 22:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even realize that there's really no meal option at boardwalk if there's rain.
• 22:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: What do you do?
• 23:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: What if you have like a gaggle of kids?
• 23:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: What if you're like wearing sneakers that you really don't want to get wet?
• 23:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: That stinks.
• 23:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even think about that.
• 23:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I know that have carousel coffee does supposedly have food.
• 23:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't anticipate I will be used going out of my way to get coffee there in this episode.
• 23:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Though again, cake-based coffee is like nine dollars, maybe I would.
• 23:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I don't think they have full meals.
• 23:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's just a little snacky's pastries because they close early at like three per year or something.
• 23:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you are totally right.
• 23:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have to go out in the rain.
• 23:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: You, uh, and like in Florida, that's a huge deal.
• 23:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: Wow.
• 23:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I never even thought about this and I think you for that input.
• 23:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, that would be so annoying.
• 23:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really appreciate it.
• 23:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And okay, our animation suites all so true.
• 23:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also understand I think I'm pretty biased with my one-child mindset and then I'm usually my brain is like well if I want a bigger room I'm just gonna go DBC but I am going I'm committed to stay at Art of Animation at some point in twenty twenty-six so that I know because that's somewhere I was like oh wait until I that's one of the very very few totals I haven't stayed with stayed at its argumentation and it's a poly and what there's one other one there's a
• 24:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't remember which one it is, but I've stayed everywhere except for that.
• 24:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I haven't stayed at those because I'm like, I feel like I need to travel with family or like a bigger group to really understand how those spaces work.
• 24:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So again, I will not listen.
• 24:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will stand.
• 24:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will stand.
• 24:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: What is what I, you're not clocking me on business.
• 24:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh my god, I still like a thousand years old.
• 24:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm standing on business, whatever that phrase is.
• 24:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Never the phrase on the children's thing and TikTok.
• 24:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't retain anything.
• 24:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I will say.
• 24:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I stand behind that the the decor could be so much better.
• 24:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is so vinyl.
• 24:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is so doctor's office.
• 24:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like it.
• 24:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: It looks very like, I don't feel like I'm going in the dentist.
• 24:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: But you are right.
• 24:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Family suites.
• 24:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got to check it out.
• 24:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I thank you.
• 24:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thank you for this call.
• 24:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I thank you.
• 24:49
  [SPEAKER_09]: Good afternoon, Miss Carly.
• 24:50
  [SPEAKER_09]: Steve, what we hear from Michigan.
• 24:52
  [SPEAKER_09]: Yes, I had to actually think about how the stuff sure was.
• 24:54
  [SPEAKER_09]: So I'm very happy to be able to give you guys a call.
• 24:57
  [SPEAKER_09]: I just got to listen to the hotel rankings and I just had to call you after hearing
• 25:03
  [SPEAKER_09]: how poly was ranked, and then Caribbean above poly.
• 25:12
  [SPEAKER_09]: Really, I gotta say I humbly and respectfully disagree.
• 25:17
  [SPEAKER_09]: I do fully agree with you about the lack of exclusivity of poly.
• 25:23
  [SPEAKER_09]: It, for as much money as you pay, or at highly thought after that hotel typically is both by word and both by what people
• 25:33
  [SPEAKER_09]: are spending at that place.
• 25:36
  [SPEAKER_09]: At the very least, people need to have the right of first refusal for reservations at Trader Stamp.
• 25:43
  [SPEAKER_09]: That is a highly thought after play.
• 25:46
  [SPEAKER_09]: People that stay at Polly need to have the right of first refusal, like when they check in the Polly, they say, hey, you want to stay here, you want to eat here, drink here, your vote or your reservation.
• 25:57
  [SPEAKER_09]: Yeah, the right to refuse it.
• 25:59
  [SPEAKER_09]: And then we'll tell it out to everybody else that's saying a Polly.
• 26:03
  [SPEAKER_09]: Now, top of that, yeah, I agree.
• 26:04
  [SPEAKER_09]: The lobby is so busy, it's so chaotic.
• 26:08
  [SPEAKER_09]: But on the other hand, Caribbean, around the Atlantic, there's a cool area, that water side, the water sea, next to the little lagoon, where they call it there, along with French, it's that lobby.
• 26:24
  [SPEAKER_09]: That's chaos if I ever saw it.
• 26:27
  [SPEAKER_09]: And crib is always should be ranked that high, assuming that you're staying in that section of the resort that is close by the skyliner.
• 26:35
  [SPEAKER_09]: Every other section of that got forsaken, the resort is great cross-training if you are a cross-country runner or a track runner.
• 26:45
  [SPEAKER_09]: Let me just say it.
• 26:47
  [SPEAKER_09]: In any place that'll sit in that resort, you might as well be training for a half marathon or a marathon.
• 26:54
  [SPEAKER_09]: It's horrible.
• 26:55
  [SPEAKER_09]: I get not.
• 26:56
  [SPEAKER_09]: In fact, your class is free to the both colleagues, but I've got to say I love you.
• 27:01
  [SPEAKER_09]: I love your podcast.
• 27:02
  [SPEAKER_09]: It's simply amazing.
• 27:03
  [SPEAKER_09]: Keep up the excellent work.
• 27:05
  [SPEAKER_09]: And I hope you are happy to be wonderful Thursday.
• 27:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: An incredible call.
• 27:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, the reason why I love very amusing is because you all will call me out on what I say.
• 27:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I will somewhat agree with you, but you're like, oh, happy to have an open dialogue about it.
• 27:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: And happy for me to tell you that you are correct or you are wrong.
• 27:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that's just why I love you all.
• 27:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's why I love you.
• 27:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am so grateful that you see what I'm saying about Disney's Polynesian Village resort.
• 27:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: And also with policy changes there any time in the next three to six months, I will be taking credit for it.
• 27:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I don't want to listen.
• 27:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am a Disney adult at heart.
• 27:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I do not want to live in a world where I show up to the poly and I can't get in somewhere I want to go.
• 27:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: But at this point, you know, this is a deluxe hotel.
• 27:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: There should be a perk for staying there.
• 27:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: They should have the same thing at Disneyland Hotel, frankly.
• 27:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you stay at Disneyland Hotel, you should have some sort of benefit to going to Trader Sam.
• 27:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: And they do believe there is a slight like reservation benefit where you have like a little more access to times, but it should be more explicit.
• 28:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you are staying at one of these places that has a hugely sought after bar restaurant that people really, really want to go to.
• 28:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: The people traveled to who aren't staying at that hotel.
• 28:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're staying at that hotel, you should have access to it.
• 28:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's like luxury hotel one-o-one and yet Disney doesn't play by those rules, which I've always found very interesting.
• 28:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: However, for someone like Trader Sam's, I mean, they're not, they're probably not needing to fill rooms at the poly, but if they did, I mean, think about it.
• 28:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you had to pay X amount of dollars to stay at the poly, or then you could pay the same amount and know that you will get into Trader Sam's, that is a massive benefit that only Disney would offer, and I just think of you really smart of them.
• 28:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: It would be worth them to do that, because nobody wants to get in the line at four o'clock and be like, when am I gonna come back?
• 28:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is a place you visit where you need to make a schedule.
• 28:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: It just doesn't fit in with the way that Disney World operates.
• 28:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm talking so loud.
• 28:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm absolutely gonna wake my child up from her nap.
• 28:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: But this is a cause I care about.
• 28:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And we need to stand on it.
• 28:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay?
• 28:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: We have to talk about it.
• 28:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I appreciate that even though you disagree with someone to the episode, which understandable, I said some things even I'm ashamed of, that you agree that like,
• 29:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: People at the poly should have access to the things at their own resort hotel.
• 29:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love that hotel.
• 29:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I love spending time there.
• 29:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I go all the time, but it does feel closer to a mall like environment than other hotels I visited.
• 29:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I know that you don't love that I ranked Grand Floridian so high, but I will say this.
• 29:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Grand Floridian is like young old, coming to my birth, walk around, see my Christmas tree eat my shingles, enjoy my twenty-two dollar or so cocktails, something about Grand Floridian in that central area doesn't feel like
• 29:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Visitors are taking away from anything.
• 29:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's not like the line to get macaroni and cheese at Gasperola Island girl is so long that people who stay at the hotel can't access any of the food.
• 29:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's not the situation at all.
• 29:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But for some reason, some were like Trader Sam's that's so specific and so Disney and like you can only get it there.
• 30:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can't get that experience anywhere else in Disney World.
• 30:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: People who stay at that hotel should have access to that place and just have, you know, additional access.
• 30:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's my thinking.
• 30:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's my thinking.
• 30:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's really no other equivalent that I can think of anywhere else that is so in demand in the way that people will go out of their way to visit the hotel for that.
• 30:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Dining, I feel like is a little different because we do all go to a bunch of different hotels for dining, but bar specifically.
• 30:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just think I think you should get a little boost.
• 30:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think you should get a little boost if you stay at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort.
• 30:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: As for Caribbean Beach, listen, I did not think I would be on my podcast, defending Caribbean Beach, the way that I have been, I don't even like it there, but I will say.
• 30:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: All moderates are pretty big.
• 30:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it took me twenty five minutes to get to my room at Coronado once.
• 30:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was in the back.
• 30:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't know there was like, I've only there's three sections besides the tower.
• 30:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Love the tower.
• 30:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: There's three sections.
• 30:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've stayed in all three sections, but I hadn't stayed in the furthest third one.
• 31:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at a map.
• 31:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't trust my brain.
• 31:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it was honestly a slightly traumatic day.
• 31:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: So we've got Casitas, ranchos, and cabanas.
• 31:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I was
• 31:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Gosh, I must have been in like the back of ranchos.
• 31:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't even know we went back so far.
• 31:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't mean staying like a band as casitas.
• 31:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I had no clue.
• 31:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I looked for my room for so long that I was with my mom and I was just like, I can't do this.
• 31:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is so...
• 31:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: long.
• 31:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: We went the absolute wrong way.
• 31:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, that's why they have the path through in the middle.
• 31:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I should've taken it.
• 31:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I goofed.
• 31:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was my own fault.
• 31:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: Regardless, just saying there's other big ones.
• 31:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe I'm draining defending Caribbean Beach.
• 31:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is humiliating.
• 31:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like it there.
• 31:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've always said I don't like it there.
• 31:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: But the Skyliner changes things.
• 31:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yes, to bring it back to the other calls, I know the Skyliner doesn't always work.
• 31:43
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I know it's problematic.
• 31:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: And in weather, which Florida has nearly every day for part of the year, like I know it's a little dicey, but the truth is, you can stay at Caribbean Beach.
• 31:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: and you can walk directly onto transportation to half of Disney parks.
• 31:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: No other hotel offers that.
• 32:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, think about it.
• 32:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you stay in the resort circle and imagine Kingdom, you can only go to one.
• 32:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have to transfer to a monorail to Epcot.
• 32:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: You have to transfer wherever else you're staying here.
• 32:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can walk and just step on and be at Epcot, step on, be at Hollywood Studios.
• 32:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's something that Riviera Resort doesn't even offer.
• 32:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think
• 32:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just the fact that you can take this easy, breezy transportation to half of Disney parks.
• 32:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: I got it.
• 32:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: And it's like a affordable price and there's plenty of rooms.
• 32:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really, wow, I didn't think that I was gonna be a Caribbean Beach fan and yet here I am.
• 32:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Here I am, just profilatizing about it.
• 32:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, Caribbean Beach, I guess I like it.
• 32:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: I guess I like it after all.
• 32:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Internal buses don't like those, but Caribbean Beach, I got a different.
• 32:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for your call, and hope to one day see you in Trader's Ends.
• 32:50
  [SPEAKER_00]: Stick around, we will be back after a few words from our very kind sponsors.
• 33:15
  [SPEAKER_04]: My name is Linda, I'm from Texas.
• 33:16
  [SPEAKER_04]: I've been listening to your podcast forever.
• 33:19
  [SPEAKER_04]: And I just am behind on my podcast listening.
• 33:23
  [SPEAKER_04]: So I'm listening to the July night episode.
• 33:25
  [SPEAKER_04]: And my husband and I were in Disneyland on July second.
• 33:30
  [SPEAKER_04]: And if I had seen you there with your mom, I would have died.
• 33:34
  [SPEAKER_04]: So I'm just outside.
• 33:37
  [SPEAKER_04]: I just wanted to tell you that we were there at the same time.
• 33:40
  [SPEAKER_04]: And I wish I had seen you.
• 33:42
  [SPEAKER_04]: And I would have been
• 33:43
  [SPEAKER_04]: a nightmare because I would have gone bananas.
• 33:47
  [SPEAKER_04]: So I guess I'm glad I didn't see you there.
• 33:50
  [SPEAKER_04]: But I was there too.
• 33:51
  [SPEAKER_04]: And it was amazing.
• 33:53
  [SPEAKER_04]: I'm a Disney World person.
• 33:55
  [SPEAKER_04]: So this was our first trip to Disneyland.
• 33:58
  [SPEAKER_04]: And my husband loved it.
• 33:59
  [SPEAKER_04]: He's getting tired of Disney World, which is very upsetting to me.
• 34:04
  [SPEAKER_04]: But he loved Disneyland.
• 34:05
  [SPEAKER_04]: And he's already talking about going back.
• 34:08
  [SPEAKER_04]: And your podcast helped me so much planning my Disney Land trip.
• 34:12
  [SPEAKER_04]: because I was nervous that it's different from Disney World.
• 34:15
  [SPEAKER_04]: But I can't believe we were there on the same day.
• 34:18
  [SPEAKER_04]: I'm just so excited.
• 34:19
  [SPEAKER_04]: Thanks for your great podcast.
• 34:21
  [SPEAKER_04]: And I don't know.
• 34:23
  [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
• 34:24
  [SPEAKER_04]: I'll keep listening.
• 34:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
• 34:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Bye.
• 34:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is the energy I crave.
• 34:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to be at your level, Linda.
• 34:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I adore you.
• 34:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: I adore this call.
• 34:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And you know what?
• 34:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think the universe knew that we were both going to be there, but didn't let us know at the time.
• 34:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: because the two of us, people with this high capacity for being excited, knowing each other in person, I feel like the whole universe would just suck into a hole.
• 34:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like at the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Remind, where everything fades to black.
• 34:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that would just happen.
• 34:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: It would be like a reverse big bang theory.
• 34:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: We would just be like, ROOP, too much energy, too much excitement.
• 34:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nobody, no life form could go on.
• 34:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am bombed that I didn't see you there, but this call made my day, made my week.
• 35:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am so grateful for you.
• 35:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: And that said, this is kind of, this is what I'm hoping, this is the energy that I'm hoping a music polusa brings.
• 35:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope the group trip just brings out so many people who are so excited to be at a theme park together.
• 35:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope this is what we channel.
• 35:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am planning it.
• 35:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is moving forward.
• 35:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: We are announcing quite soon, depending on how quickly I can get the website up.
• 35:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: But don't, don't check the girl right now.
• 35:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's like some like go daddy stand alone.
• 35:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I haven't touched it yet.
• 35:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's happening.
• 35:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's happening, but it's not there yet.
• 35:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: I feel like we're twins.
• 35:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I adore you.
• 35:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I adore this call.
• 35:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so glad you had fun.
• 35:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so glad I could be helpful.
• 35:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So glad you had a great time.
• 35:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for calling.
• 35:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope I see you next time in the park.
• 35:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't want the world to end, but I would love to hang out.
• 35:45
  [SPEAKER_01]: Okay, bye.
• 35:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for your call.
• 35:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, and one more thing.
• 35:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you ever see me in the park, please say hi.
• 35:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know saying hi to people is so uncomfortable.
• 35:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: Just like I know picking up a phone and dialing is so uncomfortable.
• 35:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: And yet I'm like demanding you do both in this
• 35:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm so sorry I hate making a phone call even though that's like journalism when I hate how I get so if you see me please say hi I know saying hi to someone can be weird because you don't want to be like tap tap tap on the shoulder like hi like I look at your photos all day but I do that to other people I've been in your position and said that to people and it doesn't it doesn't always feel great but sometimes you end up becoming friends
• 36:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: sometimes like you end up knowing each other real life and sometimes like you really just have a nice moment with someone who's stuff you see in your phone in your ears and I just think it's great so if you see me if you happen to see me please say hi I love saying hi to people because again
• 36:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: to give you the flip side of it like when I say how do people and like oh my god I don't want them to rush me off like it's so embarrassing if someone's like bye like I will never do that to you I will never do that and if I do if I'm like there was someone I ran into a few weeks ago and I was running late to a meeting and I profusely apologize so I knew it was in them it was me
• 36:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: But essentially like I don't know like tapping some of the shoulders scary, but I need you to know that I'm recording this in a room alone in my house and I'm judging from these true calls.
• 37:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know people are listening.
• 37:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know there's there's factual evidence and yet it's just always feels like I'm speaking into the ether like into a cloud.
• 37:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: Where does it go?
• 37:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't even know do you listen unspawn if I do this on Apple?
• 37:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't really know
• 37:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there's data from that, but I don't like looking at numbers.
• 37:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's not what I got.
• 37:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I chose the opposite job.
• 37:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I never want to look at a number again.
• 37:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I might entire life.
• 37:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: So just know that it is also like on my end.
• 37:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a little like I'm not having the full experience because I don't see you in person.
• 37:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: So when you say hi, it really makes things real for me and is wonderful for me too.
• 37:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is a shared experience and I adore it.
• 37:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: So please say hi unless it's Linda and then you'll know because the world will end because we have too much energy.
• 37:42
  [SPEAKER_06]: Hi, Carly.
• 37:43
  [SPEAKER_06]: This is Laura from Rhode Island.
• 37:44
  [SPEAKER_06]: I'm looking for some really specific Mickey's, not so scary help.
• 37:49
  [SPEAKER_06]: I've never done after hours or parties before, so I'm just looking for some advice.
• 37:54
  [SPEAKER_06]: My sister and I are set to go into Denver.
• 37:57
  [SPEAKER_06]: But we have a basic it for magic kingdom and for the Halloween party on the same day.
• 38:01
  [SPEAKER_06]: My questions are this, should we leave any afternoon, shout back at our hotel, maybe take a shower and change in the costumes,
• 38:09
  [SPEAKER_06]: Or should we just rent a locker during the day and suck it out and change the old hotel at the park?
• 38:15
  [SPEAKER_06]: Or is there like a specific time you should be with we choose to do that?
• 38:20
  [SPEAKER_06]: I've seen a lot of online on when you should be lining up for the party, but I'm not really sure I have a handle of already being in the park, and this leaving would be a huge waste of time, or cause the shoes getting back in.
• 38:31
  [SPEAKER_06]: Thank you so much for your help.
• 38:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: fantastic questions.
• 38:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I think there are schools of thought for both of the options that you are weighing.
• 38:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: Usually when I talk to people it's that they have a multi-day ticket and so they're planning on going to the park that day and the party but having a hard day ticket like if you have a one day ticket you're spending a pretty penny to be
• 38:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: at Magic Kingdom and also paying for a hard party ticket.
• 38:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so I just want to make sure you know before you go then.
• 38:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: For the party you are able to get in a few hours before so you can still do some rides and things before the park is exclusively closed to party guests.
• 39:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I want to make sure you don't feel like you're double paying if you won't get the full days worth.
• 39:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: That's why in your situation, I am inclined to tell you to not leave the park.
• 39:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, you will be tired.
• 39:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a long day.
• 39:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: The party is a lot.
• 39:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're going sooner, it's going to be hot weather, depending on your costume, you might kind of feel, you know, you might feel the heat, like it might just be a lot, depending on all the things you want to be doing the party.
• 39:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: You might be maxing yourself out to go during the day and through the party at night, which is why like going back, showering, changing,
• 39:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: isn't a bad idea, but because you're spending the money to be there during the day, I kind of want you to maximize your time in the park before those party guests show up because I believe historically this was true for years.
• 39:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: I assume it is still true.
• 39:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have not a hundred percent fact checked this, but traditionally the park isn't as busy the morning of a party day.
• 39:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Other parks will be more busy because other people prioritize that.
• 39:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I want you to get the most bang for your buck literally with your hard ticket to Magic Kingdom.
• 40:02
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I would recommend
• 40:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: doing the whole day and not leaving, which I know is also the flip side is that you're going to be pretty tired.
• 40:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: You might be pretty hot.
• 40:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: I would say book a lunch, maybe right when that crossover happens, like later on, and looking at early, I guess would be an early dinner if it's like four o'clock, depending on your party time.
• 40:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: book us sit down meal so that you can like chill out enjoy AC shift between the day and the party and then um yeah just you know make sure you drink water if the stamina of this seems like you can't you can't do it I completely understand all day all night is a lot but I do think just truly to get your money is worth I would be worried about recommending you go to magic kingdom for
• 40:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: like six hours and then leave and then come back.
• 40:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: Cause like exiting and entering does take a lot of time unless you are staying really close nearby.
• 40:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're staying nearby, like contemporary Grand Floridian Easy, but you know, with so many hotels, it's likely that you're not staying immediately there.
• 40:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I would recommend getting a locker, get in this way you can get it all done, get like the special stuff at the party done.
• 41:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: Well, also, you know, prioritizing the rides during the day so that if the party you wanna focus solely on Halloween stuff, you can do that without feeling like,
• 41:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, we gotta go on these rides also.
• 41:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think that is what I would do.
• 41:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope that is helpful.
• 41:15
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope you have a great time.
• 41:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Have so much fun.
• 41:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Eat some candy for me.
• 41:20
  [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, Carly, love the podcast.
• 41:23
  [SPEAKER_03]: This is Shelley from Colorado.
• 41:24
  [SPEAKER_03]: And I had a question about your recent Alaska cruise episode.
• 41:29
  [SPEAKER_03]: I've been following a lot of people from Florida, Texas, California who's recently done a Alaska cruise in the Gulf at how cold it's been.
• 41:40
  [SPEAKER_03]: So first, someone from Colorado, I need the receipt.
• 41:44
  [SPEAKER_03]: What is the temperature you're talking about?
• 41:46
  [SPEAKER_03]: What is the wind chillier talking about?
• 41:48
  [SPEAKER_03]: Do I need to bring short or do I need to bring jeans?
• 41:51
  [SPEAKER_03]: Some are from Colorado.
• 41:54
  [SPEAKER_03]: Cold is not a good indicator of temperature for me, so if you could,
• 41:59
  [SPEAKER_03]: possibly killing the speakers, that would be amazing.
• 42:02
  [SPEAKER_03]: I love this show.
• 42:04
  [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you for what you're doing.
• 42:05
  [SPEAKER_03]: Bye.
• 42:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: This is a fantastic call.
• 42:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: I am so grateful that you called in because yes, cold is so subjective.
• 42:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, for what I'm about to tell you, I do want a prophecy by saying that I grew up in Chicago.
• 42:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: I spent a lot of time in New York.
• 42:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have braved cold weather.
• 42:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I went to school in southern Illinois.
• 42:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: If you walked out of your apartment to go to class and you had wet hair, it would be frozen by the time you get there.
• 42:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: So I've spent a lot of time in cold weather, but now I can't handle it.
• 42:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if I'm cold, I am mean and I am angry.
• 42:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't like being cold.
• 42:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's a whole thing.
• 42:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: It makes me very sad.
• 42:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: And so now like, I really, really do not like to be cold.
• 42:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: So for my Alaska crews, I packed a massive spectrum of stuff.
• 42:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: And why I say that is because it really depends on what you're doing on your cruise.
• 42:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: There were times when I was almost hot and there were times when I was freezing and it really just depended on where I was.
• 43:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is a huge spectrum
• 43:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: on the cruise.
• 43:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: Even if you go at the same time as someone else, depending on what you're doing each day, can totally, totally vary how you feel.
• 43:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, there was a moment when it was freaking freezing on the top deck.
• 43:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I was so cold.
• 43:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, this is my, I've reached my limit.
• 43:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was so cold because you were moving the wind.
• 43:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was wild.
• 43:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: That was like day two, I think.
• 43:27
  [SPEAKER_00]: But then, on the other hand, we had a day in judo that was basically warm.
• 43:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: You also kind of never know what weather you're going to get.
• 43:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, we showed up to one port and they said it was the first nice day they'd had all year.
• 43:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: We went in June.
• 43:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: So it's tricky because even if you don't think you're going to be cold, I think you have to be prepared for cold.
• 43:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because like what I said, there were times when I was just, you know, wearing a sweater on the ship.
• 43:52
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was chilling.
• 43:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was good.
• 43:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, didn't have to wear my jacket the whole time I was outside.
• 43:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: But then I did something like zip lining and I wore every layer I had.
• 44:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I'm really glad I did because it was pretty cold in there.
• 44:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, we weren't
• 44:05
  [SPEAKER_00]: You know, in a rain forest, we were surrounded by trees.
• 44:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was just a totally different climate.
• 44:09
  [SPEAKER_00]: Also when you add in rain, it can make things feel a little different.
• 44:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: So even though you are from Colorado, I know that you can handle cold weather, I would still be prepared and pack for about a forty degree fluctuation in weather.
• 44:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, that can mean something different to you where, you know, if the weather is on a spectrum of forty degrees, oh, you need is a fleece.
• 44:31
  [SPEAKER_00]: For me, I need a jacket, a hat, and heat tech layers.
• 44:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I need all of that in my arsenal to survive.
• 44:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: So my advice to you would be, pack for that kind of forty, forty, five degree fluctuation, where if you are wet and it is on the colder end of that spectrum, what would you need for that?
• 44:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: There were people, you know, there were people who were not wearing as many layers as I was on my ship because like, like what you said, you know, people feel differently in cold weather.
• 44:55
  [SPEAKER_00]: So just plaque for like a wide range of temperature and I think that will serve you best.
• 45:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: To get specific, I would say I would recommend you want to pack for what you would need between thirty five and sixty five degrees.
• 45:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: For me, I brought a puffy coat that was not one I would wear in Colorado and winter.
• 45:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: This was kind of like a cute fashion puppy coat, but I had enough layers to put underneath where if it was thirty-five degrees, I could put on a big sweater and a turtleneck and put on my coat and feel comfortable.
• 45:25
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thirty-five to sixty-five degrees is pretty, that's kind of the sweet spot.
• 45:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: So depending on what you would need in that weather, that is what I would recommend.
• 45:32
  [SPEAKER_00]: The one thing I absolutely want you to pack though is a rain shell or an outer waterproof layer.
• 45:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I almost didn't bring one and I sure am glad I did because it kind of can rain out of nowhere unexpectedly until like you get there and you're like, oh, I guess it's gonna rain today.
• 45:46
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you want to make sure you have that in your arsenal of stuff.
• 45:49
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now again, thirty five to sixty five degrees does look different for everyone.
• 45:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: So as long as you have what you think you need, I think you'll be set.
• 45:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: And again, I wore everything I packed on the cold spectrum, on the warm spectrum, I wore it all.
• 46:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: So you will end up wearing a wide range of stuff.
• 46:07
  [SPEAKER_00]: But for you, especially from Colorado, knowing that winter isn't gonna scare you, that's kind of the range that I would go with.
• 46:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: Because thirty-five degrees also means like, you need good socks, you need a few layers, but for you that might look different than, you know, someone like me from California.
• 46:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I hope this was helpful.
• 46:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let me know if you have any other questions and thank you for your goal.
• 46:29
  [SPEAKER_06]: Hi, Carly.
• 46:30
  [SPEAKER_06]: I love the show.
• 46:31
  [SPEAKER_06]: My name's Alice and I have a very important question about your legendary Disney popcorn habits.
• 46:39
  [SPEAKER_06]: They actually come from a personal place.
• 46:41
  [SPEAKER_06]: I very recently as a thirty-seven.
• 46:44
  [SPEAKER_06]: No, sorry.
• 46:45
  [SPEAKER_06]: I'm thirty-four.
• 46:48
  [SPEAKER_06]: Yes, Matt.
• 46:49
  [SPEAKER_06]: I was sort of eating popcorn again after a board of year for years, mostly because the kernels getting stuck in my teeth drove me absolutely crazy.
• 47:00
  [SPEAKER_06]: Now I popcorn at home, mostly smart food, even though I've noticed a dip in that Twitter flavor you mentioned.
• 47:06
  [SPEAKER_06]: I don't like that anymore, Chutter, but I eat popcorn at home.
• 47:11
  [SPEAKER_06]: Where I have tools, I have clean hands, I have fluff, I have ticks, I even have a water pick in my shower.
• 47:19
  [SPEAKER_06]: But after parts, that's the whole different story.
• 47:24
  [SPEAKER_06]: I just want to know how you deal with it.
• 47:25
  [SPEAKER_06]: I don't want to sick my throat.
• 47:26
  [SPEAKER_06]: I'm touching fingers in my mouth when they get out kernels.
• 47:30
  [SPEAKER_06]: And I guess it could carry around floss.
• 47:33
  [SPEAKER_06]: But that also involves a whole thing in the mirror.
• 47:38
  [SPEAKER_06]: And so seriously, what's your secret to dealing with all those kernels?
• 47:42
  [SPEAKER_06]: And you suck when you're enjoying popcorn in the parks.
• 47:44
  [SPEAKER_06]: Are you discreetly flossing on the industry?
• 47:47
  [SPEAKER_06]: Or maybe the people move there?
• 47:49
  [SPEAKER_06]: Or do you have some sort of magical immunity to your to the popcorn kernel issues that I think that?
• 47:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that's all to say bye.
• 47:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, let's get into it.
• 48:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: Let's get into it.
• 48:01
  [SPEAKER_00]: I just kind of suffer through in public.
• 48:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: I rarely feel like I have a bunch of popcorn in my teeth and my gum's problems, but I do need to fully admit here today that I am a floss.
• 48:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Freak, I floss, I mean multiple times a day if I can, but always, always at night.
• 48:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I use one type of floss, one type of floss only.
• 48:21
  [SPEAKER_00]: I swear by it, it's my favorite.
• 48:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is placor, switches the brand, twin line floss picks.
• 48:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I know it's disposable.
• 48:28
  [SPEAKER_00]: I know it's bad, but I make up for it in other ways.
• 48:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I only use disposable plastic bottles, primarily when I travel and not on the other time.
• 48:35
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like really try to limit my plastic intake.
• 48:37
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really try not to take to go bags, like I do my best.
• 48:39
  [SPEAKER_00]: I try not to get utensils, et cetera, et cetera.
• 48:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: But these little flossers, there's two lines of floss, and they just snatch everything up and take it out of your teeth.
• 48:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if you're like, ew, floss and gross, flossing is so important, flossing is so healthy.
• 48:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's like actually supposedly tied to your entire bodily health, you got to be flossing.
• 48:56
  [SPEAKER_00]: And if that doesn't come in for you, you need to be flossing because then when you go to the dentist, they compliment you, and nothing feels as good as getting a compliment from the dentist.
• 49:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I don't floss at the park, but I do have a flosser in my go bag for Disneyland.
• 49:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: I like a pouch that I keep everything in.
• 49:12
  [SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, it's only cleverly pouched up, obviously.
• 49:14
  [SPEAKER_00]: But I have that ready to go when I go to Disneyland and there is a flosser in there.
• 49:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: You can believe it.
• 49:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: It is in there.
• 49:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully you check these out and you enjoy them.
• 49:22
  [SPEAKER_00]: They are fantastic.
• 49:23
  [SPEAKER_00]: I swear by them, I love them.
• 49:24
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I hope you like them too.
• 49:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thanks for calling.
• 49:32
  [SPEAKER_12]: I am a California transplant native to the East Coast New York and New Jersey spent my entire first eighteen years on the East Coast, so also theme park enthusiasts, part of the driving factor.
• 49:47
  [SPEAKER_12]: I moved to California because I knew I could get to Disneyland on a regular basis.
• 49:52
  [SPEAKER_12]: I am very, very curious, as somebody who also at one time lived in New York, if you are familiar with the
• 50:01
  [SPEAKER_12]: one and only do Leonard's grocery store.
• 50:06
  [SPEAKER_12]: I can't remember if you talked about it on the podcast before if somebody's called in about it if it's just like in my brain as something that was mentioned once and I was excited about it and then forgot that it was mentioned or if it really and truly has never been mentioned before or nobody's called your attention to it in case you're not already aware of it.
• 50:25
  [SPEAKER_12]: I hope that sentence makes sense.
• 50:27
  [SPEAKER_12]: Yeah, I just need to know if
• 50:28
  [SPEAKER_12]: You have the thoughts about Stu Leonard's, and what your thoughts are, and if you have no idea what I'm talking about, then, hooray, yay, something new and exciting.
• 50:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: All right, thanks so much.
• 50:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: When I tell you that Stu Leonard's will be on the twenty twenty six bucket list episode for very music, it is a must visit.
• 50:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: I have never been somehow that end is it jungle gyms, jungle gyms is my other white whale.
• 50:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hold on, jungle gyms, jungle gyms.
• 50:58
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh man, I gotta go to jungle gyms.
• 51:00
  [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's in Ohio, but that in two lanterns are two places that I desperately, desperately want to go.
• 51:08
  [SPEAKER_00]: I desperately want to go.
• 51:10
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for calling and enlightening all of us about two lanterns.
• 51:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Every video I see of it, I coval over, I can't handle it.
• 51:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I really, really want to go there.
• 51:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: I really want to go there.
• 51:18
  [SPEAKER_00]: So thank you for encouraging me in making my dream come true.
• 51:22
  [SPEAKER_02]: Thank you for calling.
• 51:24
  [SPEAKER_02]: And I sense Katie calling back from Wisconsin with an update about my Dell strip.
• 51:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Very excited that somebody else called to share the same story about the Jelly Belly Drastery.
• 51:35
  [SPEAKER_02]: Good, you know, Midwesterners here.
• 51:37
  [SPEAKER_02]: But yeah, I had a great time in the Dell's.
• 51:40
  [SPEAKER_02]: I went to this little like local place of a black Hawk Motel would recommend.
• 51:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: I asked my, I was my boyfriend's family and they've been doing like a trick there for
• 51:53
  [SPEAKER_02]: like thirty years ago every summer and say like rent a block of rooms.
• 51:58
  [SPEAKER_02]: It's like very like nostalgic bells, classes, but it's like not dumpy and it's like really clean.
• 52:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: I don't know, would recommend if you want like kind of an authentic place to stay that's like not the water park station.
• 52:14
  [SPEAKER_02]: Would you say it a couple of nights we can go to any of the water parks
• 52:17
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but we did go to Denny Center because you talked about it on the pod and, um, some of the family recommended it too.
• 52:23
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it was so catchy and cute.
• 52:26
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, and we didn't go to Paul Bunions.
• 52:29
  [SPEAKER_02]: Uh, I did go to Moostra Pizza, um, which shout out, uh, I'm gluten free and it's hard to find gluten free socks in, um, you know, smaller little towns like that.
• 52:41
  [SPEAKER_02]: That's a bunch of mom and pop places, but they're a great gluten free pizza.
• 52:45
  [SPEAKER_02]: Classic place.
• 52:46
  [SPEAKER_02]: I didn't want to say a good recommendation.
• 52:48
  [SPEAKER_02]: Excuse me, is there's like a newer cuter trendy chain there called Bella Goose Coffee.
• 52:56
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they do a lot of good work with like employing people in Thailand.
• 53:00
  [SPEAKER_02]: And they have a really good like donation.
• 53:03
  [SPEAKER_02]: And you see like a very good, aesthetically great company.
• 53:06
  [SPEAKER_02]: They had a beautiful coffee shop right along the Wisconsin River.
• 53:10
  [SPEAKER_02]: And it was just beautiful.
• 53:12
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, but yeah, so we're going to go back for longer next year, really want to like go on a, one of the duck boat tours, um, see some water parts do that sort of thing.
• 53:21
  [SPEAKER_02]: I walked on the strip, got some five, got some cheese for all the good stuff, but I feel like it's truly, we're just two friends dabbing back and forth about the Dell.
• 53:30
  [SPEAKER_02]: Um, so enjoy this, um, can't wait to hear your deep idea how the Dell, and I really hope that you get to go back some time.
• 53:39
  [SPEAKER_02]: And bye.
• 53:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: Nothing like keeping the delts calls going on this podcast.
• 53:44
  [SPEAKER_00]: It brings me so much joy.
• 53:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, how I miss it.
• 53:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: How I miss it so.
• 53:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I've never been to Moostra because I'm a pizza pub girly.
• 53:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I've just never done it.
• 53:53
  [SPEAKER_00]: It does sound great.
• 53:54
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think I got to check it out the next time I'm there because you know I'm going to be back in delts.
• 53:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was literally on my overnight camps website this week because I was like, how won't does a child have to be to go here?
• 54:06
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just so excited for Pearl to enjoy overnight camp the way that I did as a child and I'm a hundred percent sending her and not just so I can go to Wisconsin Dells twice in one month selfishly into it.
• 54:17
  [SPEAKER_00]: Hope she likes camp because I really want to go to the Dells.
• 54:20
  [SPEAKER_00]: It's so funny though to hear you talk about a cool coffee shop in Wisconsin Dells because I guess
• 54:26
  [SPEAKER_00]: When I was there, I didn't need coffee.
• 54:29
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, seventeen, eighteen.
• 54:30
  [SPEAKER_00]: I was like, I mean, I lived there as an elder teen.
• 54:33
  [SPEAKER_00]: I wasn't drinking coffee and then I worked there.
• 54:34
  [SPEAKER_00]: No, I went there as a younger teen.
• 54:36
  [SPEAKER_00]: I worked as an elder teen.
• 54:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: And I think not into college.
• 54:40
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe one year may be.
• 54:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not sure.
• 54:42
  [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, I was not into, I was not drinking coffee.
• 54:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: It was not something I needed or wanted.
• 54:47
  [SPEAKER_00]: But to hear that there's a cool coffee shop is blowing my mind.
• 54:51
  [SPEAKER_00]: I also can't believe it's next to Mexicali Rose, like it's in that main intersection across Pirates' Co.
• 54:57
  [SPEAKER_00]: right now, there's a cool coffee shop there?
• 54:59
  [SPEAKER_00]: I can't believe I can get coffee there and then walk over to Pobongans.
• 55:03
  [SPEAKER_00]: We're gonna pop my knees in while going a coffee.
• 55:04
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, also gotta say, there's nothing like looking at Google Maps and zooming out a little and seeing big sky driving.
• 55:11
  [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I miss it so much.
• 55:13
  [SPEAKER_00]: Thank you for the update about the Dells.
• 55:16
  [SPEAKER_00]: Maybe people do our very amusing trip one there one year there.
• 55:19
  [SPEAKER_00]: Ooh, I don't know how many people I can drag to Wisconsin in the middle of the summer, but maybe one day never say never, never say never.
• 55:28
  [SPEAKER_01]: Thank you for your call.
• 55:29
  [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I miss it.
• 55:33
  [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just wanted to let you know really early in the morning.
• 55:40
  [SPEAKER_10]: I remember that you didn't start making your podcasts the second I started listening to it, but in fact, been doing it for several years, which meant track podcasts.
• 55:50
  [SPEAKER_10]: I think I can listen to all the elements, which is the PSA for anyone who is joined late.

  [SPEAKER_00]: Dishes!

  [SPEAKER_00]: If you're just tired of I don't know watching the same sit-com on repeat like I do, but I can't help it.
• 56:38
  [SPEAKER_00]: I'm in the middle of the Big Bang Theory rewatch again.
• 56:41
  [SPEAKER_00]: I did all the episodes and I went back to one and just kept watching again.
• 56:45
  [SPEAKER_00]: So if you're a little like I need something, I need something to switch up my routine.
• 56:48
  [SPEAKER_00]: Go to all the episodes and I'm really good ones.
• 56:50
