Speaker 1: All right, let's get it going right here, right now.
Speaker 1: This is Eyes up Here, and you're listening to brand
Speaker 1: new Eyes up Here on our Patreon channel and on
Speaker 1: audio on the Creative Control podcast network. You didn't know
Speaker 1: by now, my name is Chad, and every single week
Speaker 1: I'm joined here by the host of the show the
Speaker 1: Themed Up, hosts of the show Out Disney, and the
Speaker 1: Disney Er. As we are sitting here with the Queen
Speaker 1: of Extreme Francine, I thought, you know, since you just
Speaker 1: got back, I thought I would dress for the occasion,
Speaker 1: and here you didn't do a damn thing. So I
Speaker 1: have the shirt. I just didn't wear it. It was
Speaker 1: too wrinkly. That's really dumb. I could summon one of
Speaker 1: my minions to hand it to me while I was recorded. Look,
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about your trip, so obviously you should
Speaker 1: wore your Disney shirt. It makes no sense. Well, if
Speaker 1: you think about the laundry that has to get done
Speaker 1: from when I arrived home to today, it's pretty logical
Speaker 1: it wouldn't be ready yet, but it's pretty logical. No,
Speaker 1: you stop. It's pretty logical that you said you have
Speaker 1: a shirt. I do, but you're not wearing it. And
Speaker 1: I have a whole story about trying to find the
Speaker 1: right shirt and going from place to place and park
Speaker 1: to park and not being able to settle, and then
Speaker 1: not being having what I want. Let's start from the beginning,
Speaker 1: because I want to hear about this trip. I got
Speaker 1: a really nasty text message from me. First of all,
Speaker 1: do you want to address that? First? I can we
Speaker 1: can get into that. I actually I can pull I'm
Speaker 1: going to pull it up if you'd like. I have
Speaker 1: the visual image, but for our patreons, sure, yes, I'm
Speaker 1: gonna pull it up as we're talking. I'm gonna send
Speaker 1: it to myself and and put this up here. But
Speaker 1: before I get started, how are you remember when I
Speaker 1: went to Disney and I fell? Yes? So my left
Speaker 1: knee has been really bothering me and it's full of fluid.
Speaker 1: Oh lovely. Absolutely, yeah. So I'm debating whether to go
Speaker 1: get it drained or should I wait a little and
Speaker 1: see if it goes down. It's been a month, so
Speaker 1: it's from the Disney fall and what like? What do
Speaker 1: you think has been making it worse? Just wearing tear
Speaker 1: on it since the fall? I think the fall was brutal.
Speaker 1: It like my husband thought I shattered my kneecap. That's
Speaker 1: how hard I fell. You can hear the when I
Speaker 1: fell on both knees. My right knee hurts but not
Speaker 1: as bad. But my left knee it's tender, like when
Speaker 1: I crawl in bed. There's pain when I put pressure
Speaker 1: on it, you know. Yeah. And last night I was
Speaker 1: just kind of feeling around, like trying to massage it
Speaker 1: before bed, and I felt all these squishy pockets and
Speaker 1: I was like, oh my god, I think I have fluid.
Speaker 1: And my you know, my daughter was lying next to
Speaker 1: me and she goes, oh, that's really squashy. What is that.
Speaker 1: That's so cool. I was like, it's not cool, and
Speaker 1: it's called fluid in the knee and it's bad and
Speaker 1: I have to get a big needle and drain it.
Speaker 1: And then she was like that's terrifying. And uh yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's all full. It's full of fluid. Now I
Speaker 1: can't believe I just noticed it. Now, that's unbelievable. Wow.
Speaker 1: And then this is trying to jump over one of
Speaker 1: those little partitions to get to the rides. It was
Speaker 1: a string. It's literally a string to jump over. It
Speaker 1: wasn't even the chain. It wasn't like it was just
Speaker 1: this string. It was a rope. It was a rope. Yes,
Speaker 1: it was a rope. Myop got caught and I took
Speaker 1: a tumble really really hard, and I'm experiencing a lot
Speaker 1: of pain in his hand as well from where you hit.
Speaker 1: Huh when you went down? Like yeah, so I am
Speaker 1: a bona fide hot mess. And you know, I thought
Speaker 1: wrestling was bad. I try to go to Disney. Try now,
Speaker 1: what ride was it? It was Carousel Progress. Oh yeah,
Speaker 1: that wasn't even worth jumping over the rope. That was
Speaker 1: That was not I mean, I love it, we'll talk
Speaker 1: about that, but worth the rope jump because I'm sure
Speaker 1: the line wasn't that long. Wasn't long at all. I
Speaker 1: just I didn't feel like walking around. I was like,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this, and I freaking fell and I
Speaker 1: hate myself for it. I'm so mad. That's terrible. Back
Speaker 1: to you, Okay, I need to know everything. Ye're very
Speaker 1: excited to talk about it. It was a great couple
Speaker 1: of days. You know, we're back. We were going for
Speaker 1: about five and a half, almost six days because we
Speaker 1: came back later yesterday in the day, so it was
Speaker 1: almost like it was six days, and for us that's
Speaker 1: a lot because they they are very hard to travel
Speaker 1: with the two crazies, and they hit the breaking point
Speaker 1: at different stops where they just wanted the trip to
Speaker 1: be over. My little one before anybody, she was like
Speaker 1: Tuesday was like, I want to go home and play
Speaker 1: with my toys. But then my older one, I would say,
Speaker 1: on the ride back home was starting to crack. And
Speaker 1: otherwise behavior they were awesome. They they got along, they played,
Speaker 1: they weren't fighting, they were just happy. And that was
Speaker 1: kind of like the theme of everything for us. It's
Speaker 1: just a happy couple of days. And the travel being
Speaker 1: what it was, we got hit with traffic in two
Speaker 1: spots traveling there and coming home. They did pretty damn good.
Speaker 1: And let me ask you, you're very vocal belt where
Speaker 1: you lived, No liar in Virginia. In Virginia, yep, you're
Speaker 1: traveling to Orlando. I know you stopped in Jacksonville. So
Speaker 1: what was the amount of time from where you lived
Speaker 1: to Jacksonville? So on paper, it's supposed to be nine
Speaker 1: hours and thirty five minutes. Oh okay, so that's about
Speaker 1: two and a half hours in Virginia. Then about two
Speaker 1: hours in North Carolina, then two hours that feels like
Speaker 1: seventy five hours in South Carolina, then about two hours
Speaker 1: in Georgia, and then Jacksonville's right over the border. You're
Speaker 1: essentially there in thirty five forty minutes. South Carolina can
Speaker 1: suck the biggest you know what on the planet, for
Speaker 1: both sides of the trip, just not only the fact,
Speaker 1: and for anybody listening in South Carolina. Don't take this
Speaker 1: the wrong way. There's nothing going on. There's nothing going
Speaker 1: on in South Carolina. But that's where we got hit
Speaker 1: with our traffic on our way down, and what was
Speaker 1: supposed to be nine hours and thirty five minutes took
Speaker 1: close to eleven hours. And that was the killer and
Speaker 1: literally made the difference of Sunday being okay, we can
Speaker 1: get to Jacksonville, put our bags down and go walk
Speaker 1: around this Jacksonville town Center that was right next to
Speaker 1: the brand new hotel we were saying and basically lifting
Speaker 1: up the curtains Holiday and Express. It was so new,
Speaker 1: it was next to a top golf, it was all
Speaker 1: lit up, it was beautiful, just nice little lake right
Speaker 1: outside the hotel. But the difference between being able to
Speaker 1: enjoy the little town center and rushing to find a
Speaker 1: place to eat at eight o'clock at night. Where the
Speaker 1: difference of South Carolina. So South Carolina, big thumbs down,
Speaker 1: the way down. Okay, but what it was going to
Speaker 1: be a longer drive for you because I mean, you know,
Speaker 1: I know you and I don't live near each other.
Speaker 1: I'm up north obviously, But it took us twenty four
Speaker 1: hours to get there the one time, and I'll never
Speaker 1: do that again, mind you. Okay, So you get to Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: You like your hotel, it's pretty very nice, look lovely. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you get something to eat, you just settle in for
Speaker 1: the night because you know you're going pretty much. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we went. So we went to this little town center
Speaker 1: had a ton of shops, like just it was attached
Speaker 1: to a shopping center and it was like a little
Speaker 1: mini mall. But everything was closed because it was eight
Speaker 1: o'clock on a Sunday. Yeah, so Barnes and Noble closed,
Speaker 1: you know, lids which come on, I mean, I see
Speaker 1: a lids. I got to get in there close for
Speaker 1: like three hours. Even Starbucks closed in front of us.
Speaker 1: That's how everything was closed. So we had to wait
Speaker 1: about forty five minutes to get into the cheesecake factory,
Speaker 1: and we didn't eat till like nine o'clock, maybe like
Speaker 1: nine fifteen. And for my kids, my kids do not
Speaker 1: stay up late. They are usually in bed by eight
Speaker 1: o'clock and that's the end of them. They have never
Speaker 1: eaten that late before. And I gotta say, if I
Speaker 1: was going to rate where we ate the whole trip
Speaker 1: the cheesecake factory meal, maybe because we were so tired,
Speaker 1: and like, oh, it was also my anniversary that night. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we traveled, so our anniversary dinner was cheesecake Factory. It
Speaker 1: was pretty damn good. All right, well that's good, Yeah
Speaker 1: it was. It was nice, nice ava turkey and avocado
Speaker 1: sandwich or chicken and avocado sand was damn good. But yeah,
Speaker 1: then right back to the hotel and that was really it. Now.
Speaker 1: I had been joking talking to some people and I said,
Speaker 1: you know, I know, this is ae W's back door,
Speaker 1: you know, hometown here Jacksonville, And this top golf was
Speaker 1: so appealing because it was right next to the hotel
Speaker 1: and apparently that's a big hangout for the boys in Jacksonville.
Speaker 1: And I really wanted to go, But what am I
Speaker 1: gonna do? Draga a nine year old to play the
Speaker 1: chip golf balls on a Sunday night. So maybe next
Speaker 1: time Jacksonville, I'm hitting the top golf. It was very tempting,
Speaker 1: and it was right freaking there. It was taunting us.
Speaker 1: But we get up on Monday and we have the
Speaker 1: nice free breakfast, a holiday in Express, which is the
Speaker 1: big perk of staying there, really the only reason I do.
Speaker 1: And I'm starting to a mess a lot of points
Speaker 1: for the first time ever, and two hours to Orlando,
Speaker 1: nothing literally nothing. We left at nine and we drove
Speaker 1: right into the parking lot of Epcott. I was gonna say, okay,
Speaker 1: so you didn't even check into your hotel, right into
Speaker 1: the parking lot of Epcot. When I couldn't tell you
Speaker 1: how many times I stressed to everybody, you are not
Speaker 1: going to experience this ever again if we come back.
Speaker 1: And what I mean is when you can park literally
Speaker 1: right in front of the building, walk right into Epcot,
Speaker 1: walk right onto rides and just boo boo, boom boom,
Speaker 1: start hitting every spot. Okay, So this this was what
Speaker 1: I was saying, was you get to Epcot, You're in
Speaker 1: the park there for opening. What are the crowds like
Speaker 1: it was at Epcot was definitely the least crowded of
Speaker 1: all three places that we went to. And we went
Speaker 1: in the morning going on, yeah, in the morning and
Speaker 1: at night. It was definitely the least crowded that we
Speaker 1: had been to. Uh. So we get there way I
Speaker 1: would say we were about thirty minutes after they open.
Speaker 1: We probably got there about eleven thirty. They opened at eleven.
Speaker 1: They just extended the times the week that we went
Speaker 1: yep everywhere, so every place was open longer. Uh, but
Speaker 1: still at the thirty five percent capacity, which it just
Speaker 1: was such a blessing. It was so much better. I mean,
Speaker 1: we walked right in, we took a look around, and
Speaker 1: we're like, all right, where should we go first? So
Speaker 1: we went to Journey to Your Imagination Figment first stop right, No, wait,
Speaker 1: probably we walked right up twenty five minutes and all
Speaker 1: we did was walk around and then we're inside. I
Speaker 1: wanted to I didn't want to bother you, but I
Speaker 1: did want to, like, let you know, the wait times
Speaker 1: are very deceiving. Yes, yeah, you can't trust the weight
Speaker 1: times right now at Disney World because they are much
Speaker 1: less than what they appear to be so in some cases.
Speaker 1: In some cases and others they and others they're dirty,
Speaker 1: rotten liars when they put those times up on the screen.
Speaker 1: But yes, so we went right into Journey to Your Imagination.
Speaker 1: Joy was frolicking in the field next to it and
Speaker 1: pantomiming and throwing things and waving to the kids and
Speaker 1: crying because she couldn't come out and say hi. It
Speaker 1: just was oh so great. So at Epcot started our
Speaker 1: Epcot streak of every ride being interrupted. So you had
Speaker 1: every single ride, every single one at Epcot. Wow, okay
Speaker 1: everyone and the best one any time I have because
Speaker 1: we talked about it before. You know, my older one
Speaker 1: is she's the same way. She's dying to break down
Speaker 1: on something with all those videos watches. So she basically
Speaker 1: had I was holding my phone ready to go video
Speaker 1: because she wants to send it into one of these
Speaker 1: videos that she watches. And we go into Figment. We
Speaker 1: make the first turn and you know when they start
Speaker 1: singing the song, nothing no audio but the whole video
Speaker 1: and everything playing in front of us. All you hear
Speaker 1: is the hum of the machines and the ride. So
Speaker 1: I filmed the whole thing. It's about forty five seconds
Speaker 1: of us just sitting there looking at its screen and
Speaker 1: you know, you can't hear anything. You don't know what
Speaker 1: they're saying. What's going on? Yeah, and uh, it was
Speaker 1: started the streak. It was I think the first five
Speaker 1: rides we did at Epcot all style. Yeah. But yeah,
Speaker 1: we went from I went from there too. We went
Speaker 1: to Nemo. Then we went to Spaceship Earth. Yes, and
Speaker 1: I hope you chose green over orange. Uh for space
Speaker 1: Ship Earth. I'm sorry. I thought you said mission Space.
Speaker 1: No mission Space, but is that? Yeah, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I get them confused. There's two of them. Is the
Speaker 1: Giant Ball? Okay? No, it was mission Space and we
Speaker 1: were because I'm thinking where you are and where you're walking,
Speaker 1: so mission space? Yeah, we were. We were Green? Yes,
Speaker 1: Green is I went on orange once. Yeah, and it
Speaker 1: was like I was going to die. I will never
Speaker 1: do it again. So green going to die because of
Speaker 1: age welling to die because orange is orange. You literally spin,
Speaker 1: you spin and you I just I felt like I
Speaker 1: was going to vomit all over the screen. It was
Speaker 1: just the weird. It was the worst feeling. Yeah, that
Speaker 1: didn't bother me. That that didn't bother me. I could
Speaker 1: see it. You went on green. I said that wouldn't
Speaker 1: bother me. I said it wouldn't bother you. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: bother me. But uh, here's my little synopsis of Epcot.
Speaker 1: Though as a whole, I'm not I'll keep talking more
Speaker 1: about it. I'm sure at one point it was real
Speaker 1: cutting edge. I'm sure at one point everybody went to
Speaker 1: Epcott was like, Wow, this is what the future is
Speaker 1: gonna look like. Well, okay, well I got news for you.
Speaker 1: The future's here and Epcot is lagging. Skip ahead to Frozen.
Speaker 1: What did your girls think? Loved it? Okay, here's what
Speaker 1: I thought? Way too short? M yeah, beautiful. I think
Speaker 1: I timed it at a minute in fifty nine. No,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be longer than it is, like two minutes.
Speaker 1: I could not believe. And that was the end. Again,
Speaker 1: not having to wait so long for certain rides. I
Speaker 1: just couldn't believe how short some of them were. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, and then maybe because when you wait that
Speaker 1: whole time and you get on, you're just so happy
Speaker 1: that you're on it because of the you know, the
Speaker 1: exhaustive weight. This We jump right on and we're out
Speaker 1: I'm like, that was it? Yeah, you wait time on
Speaker 1: that about twenty twenty five minutes. So we had we
Speaker 1: were traveling with my cousin, were with my aunt and uncle,
Speaker 1: my cousins and my cousin Andrew has a guest assistance things,
Speaker 1: so we did return times. So basically we would just
Speaker 1: go to the rides. Hey, we'd like a return time,
Speaker 1: We get it and we come back. Yeah, so I did.
Speaker 1: I'm very fortunate to not have had to wait on
Speaker 1: a lot for the big ones you know, Watch Frozen,
Speaker 1: Slinky Dog, you name them, Space, Space Mountain, any any
Speaker 1: of the big like real popular ones that we did.
Speaker 1: I didn't have to wait very long because we just
Speaker 1: went right to front. But otherwise I still didn't have
Speaker 1: to wait that much longer going through the lines. Okay,
Speaker 1: but it's back with the beginning half of Epcot and
Speaker 1: like you know, the future nests and the space stuff.
Speaker 1: It it is amazing what they did. At one point,
Speaker 1: I was talking to my dad, my dad, you know,
Speaker 1: was there when Epcot opened, and just talk about the stuff.
Speaker 1: Even the World's Fair attractions that moved over to Magic Kingdom.
Speaker 1: This was cutting edge. This was stuff that people couldn't
Speaker 1: believe they were seeing at one point and just to
Speaker 1: see how it's aged. And we have like really like
Speaker 1: moved ahead technology wise. It's amazing. And you go on
Speaker 1: these older relic rides and you're like it was good
Speaker 1: at one point. It's just you gotta go on it
Speaker 1: for the novelty Now it's nostalgia. Yeah, that's exactly what
Speaker 1: it is. I mean, they are making upgrades and I
Speaker 1: feel like like Spaceship Birth, for example, is supposed to
Speaker 1: get an overhaul. They're supposed to redo certain things. I
Speaker 1: love Spaceship Birth the way it is, but you know,
Speaker 1: if they can tweak certain things, it'll be exciting to
Speaker 1: go on a newer ride. Yeah, were you able to
Speaker 1: get to the France pavilion. We kind of walked through
Speaker 1: what do I need to see? Well, that's where the
Speaker 1: ratitude the two week didn't really notice, wasn't really paying attention.
Speaker 1: I was kind of wrangling the kids a lot, so
Speaker 1: it was Yeah, it was tough because you know, my
Speaker 1: little one is she's very rambunctious, so it was tough
Speaker 1: to take in a lot of the stuff in each land.
Speaker 1: You know, we walked through a lot we ate in Italy.
Speaker 1: I told you we ate it vietnapoli. Did you like it?
Speaker 1: I liked it. It was all right. It wasn't right.
Speaker 1: It wasn't the top of my list of the eating
Speaker 1: we did over the few days. I found it very
Speaker 1: pricey for it was seventy dollars pizza or whatever the heck.
Speaker 1: It was kinda was a kick in the scones. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: and I don't need for me. I'm not eating dairy.
Speaker 1: I don't eat cheese, very very few choices. So I
Speaker 1: had to scrape the cheese off my pizza. Oh, you're
Speaker 1: such a loser. So I had like five slices of
Speaker 1: pizza with no cheese on it, because there was like
Speaker 1: it was like eating nothing. When you took the cheese off,
Speaker 1: it was like it was literally part you could tell
Speaker 1: I piled it. It was on my plate like a
Speaker 1: little side plate and the cheese was So are you
Speaker 1: not eating it for your diet or I just took
Speaker 1: get out of my diet and I'm just not. I
Speaker 1: haven't brought it back in. I just haven't had any dairy.
Speaker 1: I haven't any dairy in a year. I will I
Speaker 1: have had ice cream, Okay, I will say that, but
Speaker 1: I'm talking cheese products, you know, straight like milk or butter.
Speaker 1: I haven't had anything like that. Did Liz get the drink?
Speaker 1: I recommend it? She did not? Actually, Okay, so here
Speaker 1: was the thing. I was going to try to text
Speaker 1: you that night to ask you what it was. My
Speaker 1: phone was dead, so we did not. But she got
Speaker 1: a really nice she got a really cool drink in
Speaker 1: another spot. I just can't remember what it is right
Speaker 1: the second hopefully it toggles my mind. And I kept
Speaker 1: telling her, I said this is during Francine said to
Speaker 1: get it was and my phone was dead. And because
Speaker 1: now when we reach people, all we have to do
Speaker 1: is just and you know, maybe I should have just
Speaker 1: sent you a DM on Twitter because my other phone
Speaker 1: was up, but i'd have your number programmed in the
Speaker 1: other phone. M me on Patreon or the things that
Speaker 1: you think of afterwards. Platform that way, you're why did
Speaker 1: I send a message to your husband on Facebook? These
Speaker 1: are the things that I'm not thinking of, like when
Speaker 1: you're in the moment. Terrible. Okay, So ipcot was a success.
Speaker 1: Let me just go back to it. So the Nemo ride,
Speaker 1: that was another little malfunction. We got stuck in the
Speaker 1: area where the shark comes up to the screen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I've never seen NEMO, so I don't know the characters,
Speaker 1: but it just kept looping and he just yeah. But
Speaker 1: we were sitting in front of it for like ten
Speaker 1: minutes like that's what they do? This is it? And
Speaker 1: then it was like that's what do you think they're
Speaker 1: going to put on a special parade for you? Because
Speaker 1: I just thought it might stop because we were stopped
Speaker 1: going keeps coming back up. But the cool thing about
Speaker 1: Nemo was, and we didn't expect it because I haven't
Speaker 1: ever been to it was the aquarium on the top
Speaker 1: being able to go around and it's like you got
Speaker 1: too little per you got to go on a ride,
Speaker 1: but then you got to go see you know, sharks
Speaker 1: and went upstairs and looked around. Oh that was so awesome. Yeah,
Speaker 1: they have some hammerheads and big sharks and starfish. They
Speaker 1: have everything in that tank. And and that that tank
Speaker 1: that you went and saw is part of the ride. Yes,
Speaker 1: so when you're going through, you're seeing the tank in
Speaker 1: the ride with the animation overary. I love it, absolutely
Speaker 1: love that. And again that was when we just walked
Speaker 1: right up to just said twenty five minutes and all
Speaker 1: you did was just walk around the circle. And another
Speaker 1: cool thing too with how they have the socially distanced
Speaker 1: lines and stuff is And I caught this as we
Speaker 1: were going through each park. These are places a lot
Speaker 1: of people haven't been before in terms of where they're
Speaker 1: maneuvering you around lines and this and corners and opening
Speaker 1: up spaces. Going through Star Tours, I mean like you
Speaker 1: felt like you were going behind the scenes with where park.
Speaker 1: So we yeah, you know, I'm just by just saying, like,
Speaker 1: you know, the ins and outs of each line and stuff.
Speaker 1: It just was. But I got to say, the family
Speaker 1: really loved the three coup of Eros ride in Mexico. Okay,
Speaker 1: So I was going to ask, did you get to
Speaker 1: before we go back to Mexico? Did you get to
Speaker 1: go to the land where living with the land and
Speaker 1: soarin where we didn't go to that. We we kept
Speaker 1: going back and forth. We did, Yeah, we did. We
Speaker 1: kept on seeing it was very open. We could have
Speaker 1: walked right up, but it was around the time we
Speaker 1: were going to go check into the hotel, and then
Speaker 1: when we came back, we just didn't do it. So
Speaker 1: two of the greatest rides that were there, and you
Speaker 1: miss them. You know, I have the comprehensive list if
Speaker 1: you want me to go through it. At the end
Speaker 1: of everything we did go on, I did compile the list.
Speaker 1: You would have loved Soorin Sorein is Soren is one
Speaker 1: of the best rides in all the parts. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: missed that one. Uh. Do they still have the cardboard cutouts? Yes?
Speaker 1: And that My my older daughter was pissed off. Had
Speaker 1: no end about that because she's like, she's like every
Speaker 1: video I watched their malfunctioning, their failing. She goes, so
Speaker 1: they took them out, she goes, but I want the animatronics. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and you just go to the end, the big finish
Speaker 1: and these just cardboard cutouts like hard work. And you know,
Speaker 1: before they got the animatronics, there was like a movie
Speaker 1: of them. And my daughter said, why wouldn't they just
Speaker 1: put the movie back up instead of this three stupid things?
Speaker 1: It looks so stupid. That was so dumb, And I
Speaker 1: was like, that was it when we were talking. That
Speaker 1: was the end of it, But that I think that
Speaker 1: that was I think the last like ride we did Relaxing.
Speaker 1: It was just a perfect end. Uh. And we also
Speaker 1: went to the Beauty and the Beast, little short movie,
Speaker 1: the real story, you know, and we're Beauty in the
Speaker 1: Beast marks. So we loved it. Never knew along, never
Speaker 1: knew Lafu was the real hero of Beauty and the
Speaker 1: Beast right knew it blew our mind as we talked
Speaker 1: about it the whole ride home. Okay, so what did
Speaker 1: you actually stay till closing? Or they stayed at Epcot?
Speaker 1: They closed at eleven. I think we left at about
Speaker 1: nine forty five. Oh, that's pretty good. Okay, So we
Speaker 1: went to the hotel around two thirty ish and then
Speaker 1: went from two thirty, came back at about oh, our
Speaker 1: reservation was at four fifteen. We didn't get seated till
Speaker 1: about five o'clock. So yeah, so we were gone for
Speaker 1: about two hours or so. And as we stayed at
Speaker 1: the All Star Movies resort, which is very depressing when
Speaker 1: you drive down the road for All Star Movies and
Speaker 1: there's All Star Sports closed and All Star Music closed,
Speaker 1: yeah but lit, and you're just thinking like, there's this
Speaker 1: many people not here right now with these two giant
Speaker 1: spots completely closed. Very depressing driving through those right. Well,

Speaker 1: Upon waking up Tuesday morning to get ready for our
Speaker 1: magical day at the Magic Kingdom, I have equated this
Speaker 1: to multiple people I've spoken to in the last few
Speaker 1: days as a magical extra that we had added to
Speaker 1: the Disney family. If you can see what I bring
Speaker 1: to you on the screen, this little fella. When you
Speaker 1: sent me that, I was like, oh, this is this
Speaker 1: is like one of those photoshopped pictures. He just pulled
Speaker 1: a bug picture because I wasn't sure what I'm looking at.
Speaker 1: It's a tissue paper on a toilet seat, Like what
Speaker 1: am I looking at? You? Know, and then you're like, oh, no,
Speaker 1: it's real. And I was gagging literal. This was about
Speaker 1: my time. Stamp on the phone was seven o'clock on
Speaker 1: the nose, and I was already up. I was starting
Speaker 1: to get ready. I was just kind of closing up stuff,
Speaker 1: you know. I posted our Tuesday episodes and I just
Speaker 1: was getting everything ready. By the way, take that down,
Speaker 1: oh of the story. I'll take it down after the
Speaker 1: shore scheme, Like I'm skim out to no end right now?
Speaker 1: Can you If you hit you know, and you take
Speaker 1: the pictures and it has like you don't you know
Speaker 1: what it's like. You take a picture, but it has
Speaker 1: like that two seconds of video because you're doing what
Speaker 1: are they call If you press the picture in my phone,
Speaker 1: it moves a little right. So that's the official of
Speaker 1: eyes up here. So my little one goes to the
Speaker 1: bathroom and you know, they have the sliding doors and everything,
Speaker 1: so I'm helping her get the doors open. She gets
Speaker 1: in and she goes, Daddy, there's a bug in the garbage.
Speaker 1: And I was like, at least I was like, oh,
Speaker 1: that's you know, she's silly, you know whatever. It's probably
Speaker 1: like a fly and she's just noticing it. And she goes,
Speaker 1: it's a big bug. And I'm like, oh no, I
Speaker 1: go please no. And I look right down and I
Speaker 1: was like, oh that's nasty. Oh that's gross. I go,
Speaker 1: that's like Joe Joe's apartment the old MTV show. Not really, No,
Speaker 1: Joe's apartment was the guy Jerry O'Connell had like singingroaches
Speaker 1: in his apartment. I go, this is not existentially pleasing.
Speaker 1: And I took the garbage. I ran to the door
Speaker 1: and I did this, and I threw the pail of
Speaker 1: garbage outside the door. You threw garbage into the hallway, No,
Speaker 1: you're outside, it was outside, all right, okay, so it's okay.
Speaker 1: So you threw garbage outside of your room. I threw
Speaker 1: it outside the room. He I heaved him out. I
Speaker 1: picked up the papers that were around it, put it
Speaker 1: back in the garbage. He scampered away, and I scampered
Speaker 1: away and I closed the door. I woke up Liz.
Speaker 1: I was like hey, I was like, uh, don't be alarmed.
Speaker 1: I said, I think I just found a cockroach in
Speaker 1: our garbage. And she sits up and she's like what,
Speaker 1: and I was like yeah. I was like I'm gonna
Speaker 1: go just slip my shoes on and I'm gonna go
Speaker 1: make a call. So I would have I would have
Speaker 1: kept that bug and stuck it. So that's the thing.
Speaker 1: I was like, all right, I called, I go hey.
Speaker 1: I was like, this is the deal. Found a cockroach
Speaker 1: in the uh in the garbage. I said, I don't
Speaker 1: know if this is considered a magical cockroach, I said,
Speaker 1: but it's very gross, I said, And we need to
Speaker 1: figure out what we're gonna do with this, I said,
Speaker 1: because you know it took our oh that was the
Speaker 1: other little caveat our room wasn't ready till almost eight
Speaker 1: o'clock on uh Monday night. Okay, so we had to
Speaker 1: put like my laptop, the girl's American girl dolls. We
Speaker 1: put them in my cousin's room. His out of our
Speaker 1: three were the only ones ready, so we put it
Speaker 1: in there, and we didn't get ready till about eight
Speaker 1: o'clock with the room. Kept checking the phone for the
Speaker 1: number and everything, even though we knew where it was
Speaker 1: going to be, and opened the door through that mf
Speaker 1: or out and then called Disney's front desk and I
Speaker 1: was like, Hi, So I don't know if this is
Speaker 1: because maybe you guys had the door open when you
Speaker 1: were getting our room ready or what. But this was
Speaker 1: in our garbage. What are you going to do for
Speaker 1: us now? And they whoof, they started to get the
Speaker 1: gears in motion. So what did they end up doing?
Speaker 1: I got a call from the housekeeping manager within twenty
Speaker 1: five thirty minutes. She was like, Okay, this is the plan.
Speaker 1: We have to get pest control in. They have to
Speaker 1: inspect your room. They're going to set traps in places
Speaker 1: that the guests won't see. We're going to send in
Speaker 1: housekeeping to completely change all the linens, take out your towels,
Speaker 1: wipe everything down, blah blah blah blah blah. You know,
Speaker 1: COVID protocols being what they are, you're not supposed to
Speaker 1: have maid service for the most part. Well I told
Speaker 1: you that when I was there. Yeah, so you know,
Speaker 1: and that was every hotel too. They it's big times,
Speaker 1: like no maide service while you're here, and we're like, uh,
Speaker 1: we'll have to call you back to like you know,
Speaker 1: the updates and you know, blah blah blah. So we
Speaker 1: have to then go back in the room and we
Speaker 1: bring all our We brought all our own sheets, our
Speaker 1: own pillows. Right, we had to fold all that crap up,
Speaker 1: put it away, put all the stuff that we had out,
Speaker 1: put it all away, bags all basically packed again on
Speaker 1: the counters. You know, I'm like checking my shoes, like,
Speaker 1: you know, knocking them all over, trying to make sure
Speaker 1: there's no bugs laying eggs in there and shit. So
Speaker 1: we do that, go to the Magic Kingdom. We're at
Speaker 1: the Magic Kingdom for I would say eleven hours on Tuesday,
Speaker 1: no break. My my aunt, uncle and cousins. They took
Speaker 1: a break around like two three o'clock. We were We
Speaker 1: stayed the whole time, and the Magic Kingdom is the
Speaker 1: greatest place on planet Earth. There's no crue about it.
Speaker 1: Just it was such an awesome day. Not to mention
Speaker 1: the weather was not terrible. All three days we were
Speaker 1: in the parks, and we got our money's worth that day.
Speaker 1: We went on basically everything except for seven Dwarfs mind
Speaker 1: train which was hang on the weight that was the
Speaker 1: only one where the weight was ridiculously long, and then
Speaker 1: closed for a big portion of the day because they
Speaker 1: had a maintenance issue. And Splash Mountain. Those are basically
Speaker 1: the only two things I didn't do okay, so you
Speaker 1: did you hit Big Thunder, you hit Space Mountain bigs
Speaker 1: thunder Space still down people move were still down testing
Speaker 1: it like crazy. Yeah. But so like middle of the day,
Speaker 1: I never heard a word from the people at Disney.
Speaker 1: So I the woman had been text messaging me in
Speaker 1: the morning. I said, I said, hey, you're just looking
Speaker 1: for an update, And of course she calls while we're
Speaker 1: on Winnie the Pooh, so I had to call her
Speaker 1: when we got out, and my little one wanted a
Speaker 1: doll or this, and she's screaming in my ear and
Speaker 1: I can't hear the lady talking to me. She got
Speaker 1: a very thick accent, so I'm trying to decipher everything
Speaker 1: she's saying. All I heard her say was they were
Speaker 1: giving us money credit, you know, towards the room applied
Speaker 1: to the final bill, which they flubbed and they messed
Speaker 1: up the total and I had to call them back
Speaker 1: at the end of the trip to get fixed. But
Speaker 1: they did good. They could. They weren't switching us out.
Speaker 1: I had suggested, you know, are you going to switch
Speaker 1: us and they said no, and they said they're just
Speaker 1: going to continue to clean it and bug spray at
Speaker 1: which they did, so every time we came back, it
Speaker 1: just smelled like bug spray and bleach. Basically, you're you're
Speaker 1: lucky you got money back because when we had aunts
Speaker 1: come on, sorry we had ants to two trips ago,
Speaker 1: we didn't get anything. They came in and they did
Speaker 1: the same thing, you know, put the bug spray and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff, but they didn't offer us anything.
Speaker 1: So I said, what are you going to do for us? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I just said, it's disappointing because we're Onny Disney property,
Speaker 1: and the meant that I understand completely, but I wasn't
Speaker 1: and I could have followed it up more because now
Speaker 1: because of all the bug spray, now all the other
Speaker 1: bugs that were just meandering around the room, we're now
Speaker 1: all dead. So there's dead nats all over the place.
Speaker 1: It was really shitty room. It was a fly on
Speaker 1: the wall that we saw. They were literally a dead
Speaker 1: fly on the wall if they were just any bug
Speaker 1: that came in was dead on contact because there was
Speaker 1: that much stuff in there. Okay, so what what was
Speaker 1: your favorite? Rided Magic Kingdom is and the Pirates Love
Speaker 1: Pirate now had not been on the updated Pirates with
Speaker 1: all the but I remember liking it more than too.
Speaker 1: Liz loved it, which I was surprised. She's not a
Speaker 1: big fan of any of that stuff. She loved the
Speaker 1: Pirates big time. And it was no, it was great.
Speaker 1: It was It was just so awesome. But the haught
Speaker 1: I Mansion when we went last time stopped twice, so
Speaker 1: it was like we didn't get to experience it in
Speaker 1: full this time, no interruptions. And even the thing that
Speaker 1: sucks is, you know, the taking out the beginning part
Speaker 1: where you're in the room, but the way you walk, yeah,
Speaker 1: the way you walk through and they have you go
Speaker 1: through literally like you feel like you're going around the
Speaker 1: whole building just to get in. You listen and they're
Speaker 1: playing it on the speaker so you get the the
Speaker 1: intro and then it just went all the way through,
Speaker 1: not a hiccup. It was so odd. I just loved
Speaker 1: that ride so much and so classic. And on the
Speaker 1: other side of it, where Epcot has spoke to be space,
Speaker 1: this doesn't change. This is old you know, rickety House
Speaker 1: and the ghosts just oh so perfect. I loved it. Everything. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm I think, oh this is another funny one. It's
Speaker 1: a small World. I did personally don't want to go
Speaker 1: on it, but you know, the family had never been
Speaker 1: on and we have now unanimously voted we are never
Speaker 1: going on it ever again. We did because it's just
Speaker 1: a relaxing, you know, relaxing ten minutes. That's where I
Speaker 1: said that those way times lied, right. That was the
Speaker 1: longest waytime of anything we did, was it. We were
Speaker 1: on the stupid line for I have to say, over
Speaker 1: an hour and twenty minutes. Wow, Wow, that is long
Speaker 1: for a small world. And what does it say on
Speaker 1: the screen thirty minute? Wait, it didn't break down, There
Speaker 1: was no issues. It was just how many people that
Speaker 1: were putting on the boat. Yeah, that was it. You
Speaker 1: went on Peter Pan. Yep. So you had to walk
Speaker 1: through the queue. Is the first time you're walking through
Speaker 1: the new queue? Did you? Oh gosh? All those right,
Speaker 1: those great pieces they had all over the place. That
Speaker 1: was And that's one my my aunts in said the
Speaker 1: same thing, like she'd never been through this part and
Speaker 1: seen all this cool stuff. Now here was Peter Pan.
Speaker 1: We were the last group of the day to go
Speaker 1: on it. So we again we went literally right through
Speaker 1: the queue, right on to the ride and and that's
Speaker 1: my little one. That was her favorite ride because I
Speaker 1: don't think she expected to, you know, drift off into
Speaker 1: the sky. Yes, it was our first time walking through
Speaker 1: the queue because we always had a fast pass for it. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and to see like you're walking through their house and
Speaker 1: then you see tinker Bell going through the room. Oh,
Speaker 1: it was so cute. Now that was That was a
Speaker 1: huge park and that was the end of the before
Speaker 1: we left. I think that was the last thing we did.
Speaker 1: We were the last people to be loud on it.
Speaker 1: We did. After we ate, we ate at the oh gosh,
Speaker 1: on Main Street Capital Something, Capital Ale or the names
Speaker 1: escaping me, right on Main Street facing the castle Capital Something.
Speaker 1: It's just I can't get the name of my head.
Speaker 1: But that's where we had dinner and eftery we went there.
Speaker 1: We went to Big Thunder Mountain, Peter Pan, and we
Speaker 1: were going to go to phil harm Magic but it
Speaker 1: just closed. In phil harm Magic we did the last
Speaker 1: time and I would have done it just because we
Speaker 1: were there. But that was another thing we didn't do.
Speaker 1: We did everything else. And the test track I've never
Speaker 1: done test tracks. I've never done the bumper car well whatever,
Speaker 1: the one what's the one they have at Magic Kingdom.
Speaker 1: What's a little like rider cart things that they have? Oh,
Speaker 1: Tomorland Speedway, which is the that's the worst ride in
Speaker 1: the park. Never did didn't do that, didn't do the
Speaker 1: test track at Epcot, didn't do any of that crap. Fine,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not I'm not killing myself, but you know,
Speaker 1: the Tea Cubs, Dumbo, Aladdin, uh yar Stormer, didn't do that.
Speaker 1: The girls had no interest really and they didn't really.
Speaker 1: It was after Dumbo. I asked, you, do anybody want
Speaker 1: to go on it? They said no, Yeah, it looked
Speaker 1: like it was all right. I mean it was. It's
Speaker 1: the short I think it's the shortest ride in every part,
Speaker 1: like all the parks. I think it clocks in at
Speaker 1: like forty five seconds or something. It's very fast. All right.
Speaker 1: We did the buzz Lightyear thing. Yeah, I don't like
Speaker 1: that ride. I'm okay with them. It was you know,
Speaker 1: for the kids, it's whatever, go on it, but I
Speaker 1: it's not one of my favorite rides. That was another
Speaker 1: one where the queue was very long, so you got
Speaker 1: to see the inside and the cool little buzz Yeah,
Speaker 1: buzz Light your Space Mountain which was just so awesome
Speaker 1: that scares me. I went, I want and done for me,
Speaker 1: I will never go on it again. Yeah, I loved it.
Speaker 1: Carousel progress again back to my original statements. Endearing as hell. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just you get that. And especially Jean Shepherd, the narrator
Speaker 1: of the Christmas Story being the voice of the man
Speaker 1: and the stories. John, Yeah, can get. It's just so endearing.
Speaker 1: But again, you know it's passed by by technology, but
Speaker 1: this one you feel like the warmth of the age.
Speaker 1: Fun fact for you. John and Patricia who is his daughter. Okay,
Speaker 1: they are also in Spaceship Earth in a scene where
Speaker 1: they're playing instruments when you're going up on the right hand,
Speaker 1: they use the same mold for the faces and it's
Speaker 1: John and Patricia. Oh, there you go. I did not
Speaker 1: know that. Yes, but very very just it needs a
Speaker 1: facelift for the modern part, right, Yes, that's what I like.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it was the eighties at one point, and
Speaker 1: then it was the nineties, and then they were like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll just leave it at the nineties. Pirates, Aladdin, Haunt
Speaker 1: a Mansion, Peter Pan, Small World, The Royal Palace, Carousel,
Speaker 1: Little Mermaid, Teacups, Winnie the Pood, Dumbo, and thunder Mountain.
Speaker 1: So that was a full freaking day. But now what
Speaker 1: I also find very interesting factor in in somehow in
Speaker 1: this schedule, if there were meet and greets, you'd have
Speaker 1: to start knocking stuff off that you didn't get to. Yep,
Speaker 1: yeah here, And that was interesting because I was gonna
Speaker 1: say that with the with the characters, not a lot,
Speaker 1: I said, joy at Epcot, the ones that you had
Speaker 1: told me about when you first walk in in main Street,
Speaker 1: the you know, the Mickey Mouse crew. They were above
Speaker 1: uh cavalcade was one we saw tinker Bell and the
Speaker 1: Magic Kingdom. The other one was the Princesses. Pretty much it, well,
Speaker 1: maybe a few other Anna was in Epcot around one
Speaker 1: of the buildings where oh breaking news and officially confirmed
Speaker 1: by Anna because my little one being the Frozen historian.
Speaker 1: She is asked, is Rapunzel really their cousin which has
Speaker 1: been long rumored? Have you heard that Rapunzel was at
Speaker 1: the ceremony movie which created this long rumor of since
Speaker 1: the movie came out Rapunzel is the cousin of Anna
Speaker 1: and Elsa. That has now been debunked by Anna. Oh
Speaker 1: so asda she said is Rapunzel really your No, she
Speaker 1: was talking to the talking to she was staying. Anna
Speaker 1: was standing there all you know, regal, and she said,
Speaker 1: is Rapunzel really your cousin? And she said, no, she's not.
Speaker 1: Everybody thinks she is, but she's not. That We were like, whah,
Speaker 1: breaking Why was she at your wedding or why was
Speaker 1: she at the wedding the coronation day? Yes, got me,
Speaker 1: But now that's that should be breaking news. I mean,
Speaker 1: that's that's a big story. You know, the the kids
Speaker 1: who love Frozen and growing up with it, they all
Speaker 1: have one thought. But Anna debunked it. So yeah, that
Speaker 1: was it. We really didn't see a lot of like
Speaker 1: characters walking around. Okay, and so the last day is
Speaker 1: Hollywood Studios. Yes, didn't love it. Oh god, I'm assuming
Speaker 1: you didn't get rise of their resistance. We did not. Now, now,
Speaker 1: three of us were on the docket to attempt it.
Speaker 1: Two of the three kept their promise. The third, who
Speaker 1: will remain nameless, just forgot. I think it's I think
Speaker 1: you're the third man. Are you kidding me? It's the best,
Speaker 1: It's like the one of the best rides. Yeah. I
Speaker 1: wanted to do it very badly Smugglers Run. No, oh
Speaker 1: my god, you're missing everything. And now Smuggler's Run was done.
Speaker 1: When we went on my cousins went to Smugglers Run.
Speaker 1: I went with the girls to do the kids stuff,
Speaker 1: so I missed out. Hey, look, I'll take their happiness
Speaker 1: over mine. It's okay. They would have liked it too, though.
Speaker 1: They did Star Tours, yeah, which Brie was the rebel
Speaker 1: uh by. Yeah, it was brief. I wish I was
Speaker 1: able to snap a picture of it because it was
Speaker 1: so fast. But Brie's sitting there like in the seat,
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they go, have you seen
Speaker 1: this rebel spy on board? And the picture of Bree
Speaker 1: pops up and everybody's like, oh, you know you can
Speaker 1: ask them to pick your children as the rebel spy.
Speaker 1: Oh you can know. Well, I've never heard it, but
Speaker 1: I've done it. You had very nice Yeah, Brie was
Speaker 1: she she was kind of caught off guard by it
Speaker 1: that it was her you did. I don't know if
Speaker 1: she understood what she really was like being portrayed at it,
Speaker 1: but nonetheless, very funny and that was good. I mean
Speaker 1: I enjoyed that. I guess some of the updates to
Speaker 1: the film that they've added. You know, were in there
Speaker 1: last time, I years ago, but that was really Star
Speaker 1: Wars thing that we did. Would you Terror? Terror? No, okay,
Speaker 1: a terror? And the rock and roller coaster Okay, did
Speaker 1: not get to because when everybody when we maybe could
Speaker 1: have done that, I was off doing the stuff with
Speaker 1: the girls, and I went over to Maddie wanted to
Speaker 1: do Tower of Terror, and I said, if the wait
Speaker 1: is under forty five minutes, we will go on. And
Speaker 1: it was like seventy five minutes. And as we were
Speaker 1: getting ready to leave, and we had reservations at Disney
Speaker 1: Springs at like uh seven something, and we we denuct stay.
Speaker 1: We had to leave. All right, let me ask you this,
Speaker 1: what did you do? Because okay, you're missing all the
Speaker 1: good rides and that I did this part of the
Speaker 1: reason why you don't like Hollywood. But I don't like it.
Speaker 1: It just wasn't you know. We went in a shorter
Speaker 1: amount of time the last time, and I feel like
Speaker 1: I did get, like, you know, enough done in that time.
Speaker 1: We did h Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway, love it right, awesome,
Speaker 1: probably my favorite ride of the three days. Okay, So
Speaker 1: well done. Again, very short, and I felt it was
Speaker 1: shorter than the Great Movie Ride because if that it's
Speaker 1: the same building as the Great Movie Ride, and it's
Speaker 1: it's like half the half the time, but it's it's spectacular. Okay,
Speaker 1: Slinky dog Dash loved it again, very short, and Liz
Speaker 1: had done it the last time and she was scared
Speaker 1: to death of it. And you're not a fan of it.
Speaker 1: It wasn't that bad. I don't like it. It really
Speaker 1: wasn't that bad. And and I I enjoyed it. I
Speaker 1: thought it was you know, it was a nice little
Speaker 1: homage to Toy Story, very well done. We did the
Speaker 1: alien saucers that were fun. Yep, that was a good
Speaker 1: one to do. The DJ who was doing the aliens,
Speaker 1: that guy loves his job. That guy was groovy, he
Speaker 1: was he was dancing his butt off. We did Toy
Speaker 1: Story Mania, so we did the trifecta of Toy Story Rides,
Speaker 1: Star Tours, Frozen sing Along, and we closed out the
Speaker 1: day with the Disney Junior Dance Party. So you only
Speaker 1: went on six attractions there, uh one, two, three, four, five, yeah,
Speaker 1: six and then the sing along and dance party. Now
Speaker 1: those were where everybody else is doing Smugglers Run and
Speaker 1: all that stuff. Yeah, the dance party was the best
Speaker 1: ender we could have asked for for those kids. They
Speaker 1: loved it. They danced their butts off. It was they
Speaker 1: were just smiles and the ambiance was great. And I
Speaker 1: think that it was uh uh who it was. Mickey
Speaker 1: was in there. It was Timone from Timona, Pumba, Doc
Speaker 1: McStuffins and Vamparina. Couldn't ask for anything better. So that
Speaker 1: was that was the perfect then. And again, you know
Speaker 1: there's five and nine. It's it's tough to be like
Speaker 1: we're going on every coaster. We're going on all these
Speaker 1: thrill rides, and that's the bottom line. I like what
Speaker 1: we did for them. If I ever had the chance
Speaker 1: to go with Liz just us, I do as many
Speaker 1: thrill rides as I can't, even though she's a scaredy cat.
Speaker 1: But all in all, I'm very very happy with with
Speaker 1: what we did. Minus I would have liked to have
Speaker 1: done Tower Terror. That was really it. Yeah, okay, but
Speaker 1: it was great. That was awesome. We went to Rainforest
Speaker 1: Cafe at Disney, you know, Lava Mountain at the top
Speaker 1: and fire that was kind of you know, there's always something.
Speaker 1: When these Barclays go out for dinner, there's always an
Speaker 1: issue they We know, we reserved this two months ago,
Speaker 1: could have possibly given us the And my uncle was
Speaker 1: listening the biggest dog ship table in the building. So
Speaker 1: there's the elephants and gorillas, and there's monkeys, and there's fire,
Speaker 1: and there's rain, and there's this. We were so far
Speaker 1: away from all that in the original table that they
Speaker 1: were putting us at My uncle literally with his finger wagging, no,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. And we we had
Speaker 1: to wait another like twenty extra minutes to get seated.
Speaker 1: But Disney Springs, man, you know, it was it was crowded,
Speaker 1: I felt, and the lines to get in the stores.
Speaker 1: You couldn't get in the lego because the line was
Speaker 1: so long. But we went to World with Disney, and
Speaker 1: that's where we did a lot of our souvenir shopping.
Speaker 1: And it was, you know, it was a very accelerated
Speaker 1: three plus days. And then oh and then Thursday morning
Speaker 1: we did the Grand Floridian Breakfast. Oh, Chef Mickey, if
Speaker 1: he was chef, we didn't see him, but then Checkey Okay, no,
Speaker 1: there was no Chef Mickey. But again reserve these two
Speaker 1: months in advance. They wanted to put us in the
Speaker 1: side room that would be used for the character breakfast,
Speaker 1: and my uncle wasn't having that, so we had to
Speaker 1: wait a little bit longer, which is fine. We had
Speaker 1: to wait a little bit longer for the better table,
Speaker 1: but I chicken and waffles. Who not only was it expensive,
Speaker 1: it was heavy. Well, you were on vacation, so it's okay.
Speaker 1: I did eat pretty good. That was very concerned about that.
Speaker 1: I didn't know my traditional salads. But I will implore
Speaker 1: Disney to maybe switch up some of the menus in
Speaker 1: the parks to not be identical. So when we ate
Speaker 1: a Cosmic Rays on Tuesday and Imagic Kingdom, we just
Speaker 1: got the same thing the next day at the backstage cafe,
Speaker 1: literally the same exact order. I understand, item, exact thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish there menu could be a little healthier, geared
Speaker 1: towards like the adults, you know, a little more options.
Speaker 1: But it sounds like you had a great trip. I'm
Speaker 1: always drilled for you guys. Yeah, that's great. And then
Speaker 1: next time we go back, we're going to do Animal Kingdom. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I was going to ask you are you are you
Speaker 1: like going to take a break for a couple of years.
Speaker 1: Are you planning next year? Like, what is your well,
Speaker 1: you know how it is. I want to go back
Speaker 1: next year, there's no I want to planning our trip
Speaker 1: for January. Yeah, I want to go back. And it's
Speaker 1: so funny too, because it's said when I was trying
Speaker 1: to get the info to call All Star Movies because
Speaker 1: I said they messed up my money back. They only
Speaker 1: gave me fifty when they're supposed to give me a
Speaker 1: hondi and and call back. And they were very good
Speaker 1: about it. They got it quick. But it's just so
Speaker 1: funny how fast you're erased out of the system. No
Speaker 1: remnants of anything on that app of you being anywhere
Speaker 1: near the park. Yeah, what's that door shuts behind you?
Speaker 1: You're done. But we will and this is a vow
Speaker 1: absolutely be staying in another area. I'm not going to
Speaker 1: these value spots the next time. I like that Cornado Springs,
Speaker 1: I was looking at that. That's a little bit up
Speaker 1: in terms of just just a slight. We had somebody
Speaker 1: tell us how their home base of operations is the
Speaker 1: Polynesian Resort. Well, and I go, let me take out
Speaker 1: the old Google what's the average like nine sixty nights.
Speaker 1: Well here's the thing. Now, I looked at Polynesian because
Speaker 1: I'm pricing right now, and I wanted to see what
Speaker 1: do the bungalows cost. The bungalows are the ones that
Speaker 1: are yeah, right on the water, right on the water, single,
Speaker 1: you know, two batter and too bad. They have their
Speaker 1: own pool and hot tub. It's absolutely gorgeous. So when
Speaker 1: I when I bring it up, it said, I think
Speaker 1: it's it's like starting at five sixty seven, five and
Speaker 1: sixty seven. Yeah. I got so excited because I thought
Speaker 1: it was for the bungalow. Oh no, it's for the hotel.
Speaker 1: Oh my gosh, that's what it started at. The bungalows
Speaker 1: are like three grand a night. Oh just like no. Yeah,
Speaker 1: we look it up in the hotel on Tuesday night
Speaker 1: and it was nine to sixty for the Polynesian. Well
Speaker 1: they went up then and the Grand Floridian was like
Speaker 1: five seventy, and I was like, that's a bargain compared
Speaker 1: to Polynesians. But I'm aiming for that Cornado Springs perhaps
Speaker 1: just upgraded a little bit be off. Though. I can't
Speaker 1: do this again, you know, I like the pop. It was.
Speaker 1: It was they like the statues and stuff, but they're
Speaker 1: just so cookie cutter and exactly the same thing. Our
Speaker 1: problem is my husband's a giant and the rooms are
Speaker 1: too small. They either need to get two rooms or
Speaker 1: a sweep. Right, we need two bathrooms because I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I take up a lot of rooms. My toilet trees
Speaker 1: take up the whole area. So we like to have
Speaker 1: two bathrooms. And that's why that place we just stayed
Speaker 1: at was it was perfect, right, but it was off property.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I mentioned this last time. We
Speaker 1: as soon as we came home, they sent us an email,
Speaker 1: we miss you already. Here's twenty five percent off the
Speaker 1: room for your next visit. And I said, as tempting
Speaker 1: as it is, I don't think I want to stay
Speaker 1: off property. I want to go back. You know, you
Speaker 1: lose a little bit of the magic on your Yeah,
Speaker 1: I can see that. I could absolutely see that. Yeah.
Speaker 1: I can't remember when we went with my left time
Speaker 1: with my parents in nineteen ninety nine, we went on
Speaker 1: my dad's military U there's a military resort. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: just can't remember it was on the property, or if
Speaker 1: it wasn't, I don't think it was. I think it
Speaker 1: was right outside, and I didn't remember it being the
Speaker 1: same kind of like warm, loving Disney experience that you
Speaker 1: have when you you go through. This is one thing.
Speaker 1: I made the kids laugh every time I said this.
Speaker 1: But they're missing out so much on having just like
Speaker 1: character relief in like certain areas. Imagine like the security
Speaker 1: on the properties and stuff like you get out. It's
Speaker 1: like Goofy with like a flashlight looking in the cars
Speaker 1: every time we drove by Aga, I wonder who's in
Speaker 1: that one? When you get stopped by the security and
Speaker 1: Goofy comes out, I was like, whoa, Yeah, what's going
Speaker 1: on in this car? Right? Gosh? But I was great,
Speaker 1: great trip, had a ton of fun. And one of
Speaker 1: the things that we will be having this week on Patreon,
Speaker 1: if you guys are ever so obliged to care, I
Speaker 1: did a little Disney video. I can't wait to watch this.
Speaker 1: I didn't intrigued. I'm not like you. I'm not you know,
Speaker 1: you're you're the you can go live and share all
Speaker 1: these things. I basically just walked around a little bit
Speaker 1: and was talking and just showing some things. They're shorter clips.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna put them all together. But it's about, you know,
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes total, I think, and what I took and
Speaker 1: it was it was just nice. I was just saying
Speaker 1: what was going on a dad. I think I chronicled
Speaker 1: the acker roach and gave a little rundown. But I
Speaker 1: took one at the hotel. I took one at every park,
Speaker 1: and I think I was more ambitious on the first day,
Speaker 1: being like, I'll pull it out later, and then I
Speaker 1: was like, a shit, it's phone died. Kids are going cuckoo,
Speaker 1: so I gotta I gotta focus. Anytime I stepped away
Speaker 1: to go to the bathroom or something, I pulled the
Speaker 1: phone out and walked around. So but I was great.
Speaker 1: I was you get that those blues afterwards. Oh and
Speaker 1: then driving home we went to Florence, South Carolina for
Speaker 1: the night on Thursday into Friday, and again South Carolina,
Speaker 1: with your traffic and your two lanes on ninety five,
Speaker 1: you gotta do something about it because it sucks. There's
Speaker 1: nothing to look at. It's trees and nothing, and you're
Speaker 1: stuck in traffic for no reason. And they killed They
Speaker 1: made a supposed to be seven hour trip like almost ten.
Speaker 1: It was brutal. So South Carolina. I'm sorry. Well, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm glad you're home safe. I'm glad the kids, you know,
Speaker 1: enjoyed themselves and even Liss had a nice anniversary week. Yes,
Speaker 1: but now it's back to the grind. So back to
Speaker 1: the grind. We're recording this on a Saturday. I can't
Speaker 1: wait to just get us back to a regular schedule
Speaker 1: for the immediate future, because I can't picture a day
Speaker 1: what we'll need, you know, in any day other than Friday.
Speaker 1: So I can't wait to get back to Friday. Yeah. Well,
Speaker 1: coming up in May, we're gonna have to do a
Speaker 1: Thursday because I have some dates coming up that I
Speaker 1: will be home for. Yes, you do. So are you
Speaker 1: you're excited orre you nervous? I'm both? Yeah, I'm both.
Speaker 1: I feel like, you know, part of me is saying
Speaker 1: I could do anything. I was just in Florida. Florida
Speaker 1: is all open, like I'll be fine, and the other
Speaker 1: half is saying, well, what if some idiot comes and
Speaker 1: doesn't feel well but still wants to meet wrestlers and
Speaker 1: I bring something home like it's yeah, I'm you're gonna
Speaker 1: do the mask? Oh yeah, I'm gonna. I believe there's
Speaker 1: a rumor. I don't know if it's true, but somebody
Speaker 1: had said there might even be pleas to glass up. Hmm. Really,
Speaker 1: that's interesting. I'm not sure if that's gonna happen or not.
Speaker 1: But I'm not hugging. I'm not touching anyone. I mean,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. If this ruins the experience, I think it's
Speaker 1: better off for me and for the people coming. I
Speaker 1: think we're doing the lean over the table kind of Hey,
Speaker 1: how's it going? Do you do any Disney Force perspective?
Speaker 1: You know, you in the background and them standing on
Speaker 1: a little little sticky on the floor, and I want
Speaker 1: to do what Disney does. Put me on a big
Speaker 1: pedestal and I'll be hovering over the people, like twelve
Speaker 1: feet away. So I'll be up here and they'll be
Speaker 1: like all the way down here. But you're your peasants.
Speaker 1: That's why the stream. No. I wish things were back
Speaker 1: to normal. I you know, I love conventions. I love
Speaker 1: giving people hugs and high vibes and shaking hand. You
Speaker 1: can't do that too scary, do it? But anyway? That's
Speaker 1: May fourteenth and fifteenth over in Indianapolis, Indiana for Squared
Speaker 1: Circle Expo. Yeah, and Square Circle Expo. It's been delayed.
Speaker 1: We've been delayed. And while I'm plugging, I know we're
Speaker 1: we're going to go over two more patreons. But on
Speaker 1: April seventeenth, I'm doing Facebook Live two PM Signed by Superstars.
Speaker 1: I hope everybody can watch that, And there's also going
Speaker 1: to be another virtual while I'm in Indy, and I
Speaker 1: believe that's seven o'clock. I'll have more information see that.
Speaker 1: That's cool. Yeah, that's yeah. I'm doing too. But the
Speaker 1: Signed by Superstars one is a free for all and
Speaker 1: that should be very entertaining. And I'll be wearing a
Speaker 1: bikini and the other outfit change, you know, and you'll
Speaker 1: be able to be on what I'm wearing. So it's
Speaker 1: a good time. Those are always unpredictable, whether it's songs
Speaker 1: that are getting requested. God, yes, they request I sing.
Speaker 1: I'm oh if it changes, you know, stories, you know, laughs,
Speaker 1: it's always fun. It's just fun. I try to be
Speaker 1: entertaining and not just sit there and be a Debbie Downer,
Speaker 1: so now come watch me. That was also the funny
Speaker 1: thing too, you know, the Florida being known as like
Speaker 1: the Wild West, as you look at the news. Right Jacksonville,
Speaker 1: I'd say was fifty to fifty. But Disney World, it
Speaker 1: was like I was back in Virginia because it's the
Speaker 1: restrictions there are basically the girls not one but I
Speaker 1: mean you ripped that thing off the second you had
Speaker 1: to eat. But like not one complaint of the girls
Speaker 1: because they're so used to it with school, and it
Speaker 1: was you know, there wasn't really any difference. Yeah, I know,
Speaker 1: Disney was inside. The park's totally different experience. We stayed
Speaker 1: off property. It was like Corona didn't exist. I told you,
Speaker 1: everybody was in the hot tub next to each other
Speaker 1: at their bud lights and their cores lights, and I
Speaker 1: said to myself, that's a little bit. It was weird
Speaker 1: because like even a cheesecake factory, you know, people were
Speaker 1: going up to the hostess at the door and just
Speaker 1: like going right up to her, and she had a
Speaker 1: mask on. But they were all going up and being like, yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, a party is six. And I was still like,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not a mask fan, but I go,
Speaker 1: you know, I'm just so used to this, put the
Speaker 1: thing on, went up and sat there. The only time
Speaker 1: I took the mask off while we traveled is we
Speaker 1: were in McDonald's in Brunswick, Georgia. We got coffee Lizz
Speaker 1: and I and we gassed up and I went into
Speaker 1: there and there were not very friendly looking people in
Speaker 1: that place that I'm sure if I went in there
Speaker 1: with the mask, I would have had some sort of words.
Speaker 1: If you wanted to look up the Redneck Dictionary and
Speaker 1: see McDonald's and Brunswick, Georgia, it's exactly what you're thinking.
Speaker 1: So it was quite the intimidation. And I was like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I had it. I had it under
Speaker 1: my chin because I was like, I'm just doing this
Speaker 1: because I don't want to come. Even the granny that
Speaker 1: was at the desk looked she had a fucking chip
Speaker 1: on her shoulder. I wear it when it's necessary. If
Speaker 1: I need to wear it, I wear it. If they
Speaker 1: don't require it, I'm not I don't wear it. That's
Speaker 1: that's how it goes. But most places still require it.
Speaker 1: So I've been wearing it, but you know, I try
Speaker 1: not to leave my house that way, I don't have
Speaker 1: to wear one. And there you go, and I plan
Speaker 1: on not really leaving my house until the end of April. Uh,
Speaker 1: So I just want to also thank for we just say,
Speaker 1: the rest of the patriots. I just want to thank
Speaker 1: my aunt and uncle for their guide and their their
Speaker 1: knowledge and their you know, the fun they had with
Speaker 1: the girls, and it was it was great, and I hope,
Speaker 1: I hope to do it again next year because we
Speaker 1: we love seeing them. It's the only time, you know
Speaker 1: where they they live in Florida. Everybody else lives up
Speaker 1: north or right where we are. Yeah, we always make
Speaker 1: the effort to do some with them. So I loved
Speaker 1: I love that time, all right. So this is what
Speaker 1: else we got going on? This one. I can't wait for.
Speaker 1: This is a hand picked Queen of Extreme Patreon Extra
Speaker 1: Opening Part three. We have not done this in a
Speaker 1: why but it's always a trip. And I have not
Speaker 1: looked in my dms in months because I am not
Speaker 1: an IG girl. Instagram is not my thing. I probably
Speaker 1: post once or twice a month on there. I don't
Speaker 1: I'm a Twitter girl, you know, So God knows what's
Speaker 1: sitting in those dms. I have known, YEA, wait, wouldn't
Speaker 1: be funny if it was nothing, and we're just like, ah, well,
Speaker 1: if there's nothing, then I'm not as ever as I
Speaker 1: thought it was, Oh, this guy was like, hey, why
Speaker 1: don't you take this and blah blah blah, So we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens. Uh, And then this is I thought
Speaker 1: about this is. This is also I've only been home
Speaker 1: for like sixteen hours, haven't had a lot of time
Speaker 1: to think. We're gonna do one more house show before
Speaker 1: we move on into a big time ECW event. I
Speaker 1: found yet another Francis and Shane Douglas versus Buelon tale.
Speaker 1: But this one the Queen takes to the skies and
Speaker 1: performs an off the top rope move. So wow, yes,
Speaker 1: so this one is a little different. So that will
Speaker 1: be this week. But next week we're going to go
