Okay, 0:02:34.720 --> 0:02:39.960 so let's rewind. I leave fifty well seventeen days ago now, 0:02:40.000 --> 0:02:43.400 I think right, because we got back this Friday, late Friday. 0:02:44.080 --> 0:02:48.200 When I left, there was a blizzard. Right now. My 0:02:48.200 --> 0:02:51.480 in laws live in Illinois, and they got over like 0:02:51.520 --> 0:02:54.320 a foot of snow. They're texting us and showing us pictures, 0:02:54.320 --> 0:02:56.760 and we're like, we're out of Florida, see you later. 0:02:57.720 --> 0:03:02.359 We're yeah, sorry, where we were. We got like eight 0:03:02.440 --> 0:03:04.440 or nine inches. I think there was a lot of 0:03:04.440 --> 0:03:10.240 snow here. Get to Florida. It's forty nine degrees. No, 0:03:10.400 --> 0:03:13.359 it was not Brett. It was so funny. It was 0:03:13.400 --> 0:03:17.760 not funny. I was pissed off. I had brought, like 0:03:17.880 --> 0:03:22.120 I always bring hoodies or like a sweat jacket because 0:03:22.400 --> 0:03:25.640 you know, sometimes it's cooler at night, you know. I 0:03:25.800 --> 0:03:28.680 brought like a heavier jacket and a sweat jacket. So 0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:32.520 I had the kids in their two jackets, and I 0:03:32.639 --> 0:03:35.640 had on a hoodie with another zip hop and my 0:03:35.760 --> 0:03:38.040 husband just does this same thing. I don't even know 0:03:38.040 --> 0:03:46.840 what he doesn't. But we landed and I was just like, 0:03:46.880 --> 0:03:50.840 what is this crap? What is this weather? I'm pissed off. 0:03:50.880 --> 0:03:55.840 It's freezing here. It was. It was it was so 0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:01.040 cold for Florida. And I did I say forty nine, 0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:03.200 It might have been thirty nine. It might have been 0:04:03.240 --> 0:04:07.680 thirty nine. It was really cold. And they were saying, oh, 0:04:07.720 --> 0:04:10.080 it's our cold front that's coming through, and everyone's like, 0:04:10.160 --> 0:04:12.160 you picked the wrong week to come down here, and 0:04:12.240 --> 0:04:16.400 I was just like I was walking. Yeah. But like 0:04:16.480 --> 0:04:18.919 the first day when we got there, it was just 0:04:18.960 --> 0:04:22.880 a check in day. We didn't have any plans and 0:04:23.080 --> 0:04:26.800 we literally just like checked in. I unpacked everything. We 0:04:26.839 --> 0:04:30.760 went to dinner at the hotel and Easy Breezy. There 0:04:30.839 --> 0:04:34.000 was a public like five minutes down the street, so 0:04:34.240 --> 0:04:37.479 like Hubbs walked over there got us because we had 0:04:37.880 --> 0:04:41.359 we literally had a full kitchen, a full dining room. 0:04:41.760 --> 0:04:44.400 We stayed at the same place. I said, I wasn't 0:04:44.400 --> 0:04:46.320 going to Oh that's right, you said that the last 0:04:46.480 --> 0:04:48.520 I did. But then they sent us this coupon and 0:04:48.560 --> 0:04:52.960 we were like, ooh, this is a good deal. But 0:04:53.120 --> 0:04:57.600 you know, two bathrooms, two bathrooms, so much space for 0:04:57.680 --> 0:04:59.799 the price. We were like, yeah, we'll just go there again. 0:05:02.240 --> 0:05:06.200 And then like the second day was like Disney Springs. 0:05:06.880 --> 0:05:09.120 It was a Disney Springs day and it was still chilly. 0:05:09.520 --> 0:05:11.720 So I was just like, all right, if this doesn't 0:05:11.720 --> 0:05:14.240 warm up, I'm really going to be pissed off, you know. 0:05:14.520 --> 0:05:17.200 But then as the week went on, like one day 0:05:17.320 --> 0:05:21.120 was like eighty seven and it was ungodly hot, and 0:05:21.360 --> 0:05:23.640 I said to myself, before I start to bitch about 0:05:23.800 --> 0:05:25.880 how hot it is, I remember a couple of days 0:05:25.880 --> 0:05:28.160 ago it was freezing, and I was pissed off when 0:05:28.200 --> 0:05:32.880 it was cold. So it literally it was between sixty 0:05:32.960 --> 0:05:37.720 five and seventy five ish, that was the norm. A 0:05:37.800 --> 0:05:40.120 couple days by a couple of days were really low, 0:05:40.160 --> 0:05:41.960 but it was perfect weather if you were going to 0:05:42.040 --> 0:05:46.200 the parks. Not too hot, you know, little light breeze. 0:05:48.520 --> 0:05:51.960 I'm trying to think like one fun thing that that 0:05:52.160 --> 0:05:56.360 happened to us three times, which I never really thought 0:05:56.360 --> 0:05:59.520 would happen. They have cavalcies. They don't have the full 0:05:59.560 --> 0:06:03.080 parades right now, they have certain cavalcades. And there were 0:06:03.080 --> 0:06:06.760 like these two cavalcades. It was the princesses, and then 0:06:06.839 --> 0:06:12.560 it was like very rare characters. It was like Clara Belle, Aladdin, 0:06:14.880 --> 0:06:22.200 Mary Poppins, Max the Coven, a very rare, right, We 0:06:23.120 --> 0:06:25.680 three times. Now, I don't know how we did this. 0:06:25.800 --> 0:06:29.839 We didn't time it this way, but three times. Being 0:06:29.880 --> 0:06:33.800 a magic kingdom, we ended up right behind the cavalcade 0:06:34.080 --> 0:06:38.880 and they let us walk in the pre It was 0:06:39.000 --> 0:06:43.200 and so like the guys are here, you know, the 0:06:43.200 --> 0:06:45.279 guys that tell you stay behind the line and blah 0:06:45.279 --> 0:06:47.880 blah blah. But we were right behind them and they 0:06:47.920 --> 0:06:51.680 didn't tell us to get out of the walkway. We 0:06:51.880 --> 0:06:55.320 followed the cavalcade and when you make that turn into 0:06:55.360 --> 0:06:59.360 the hub in front of the castle, everybody's there. And 0:06:59.520 --> 0:07:06.880 we were literally walking in this parade ed hello, waving yes, 0:07:06.920 --> 0:07:08.800 I'm in the parade. They picked my badly to be 0:07:08.839 --> 0:07:10.640 the hey who was that? Oh they were extras in 0:07:10.880 --> 0:07:15.320 uh you know, uh Robson's not once, not twice. Three 0:07:15.440 --> 0:07:18.600 times we did this and it was so cute and 0:07:18.640 --> 0:07:20.720 it was My kids got such a kick out of it, 0:07:20.800 --> 0:07:22.960 and it was it was like we were supposed to 0:07:23.000 --> 0:07:25.720 be in this parade. It was really really fun. I mean, 0:07:25.760 --> 0:07:29.280 we didn't walk the whole length. We we got out 0:07:29.320 --> 0:07:31.440 when we needed to go where we did. Did you 0:07:31.440 --> 0:07:34.320 start to channel your inner Francene and start to soak 0:07:34.360 --> 0:07:38.720 in the adulation of the crowd and my my daughter, 0:07:39.800 --> 0:07:41.760 she was hilarious. She goes, Mom, is this like when 0:07:41.760 --> 0:07:46.400 you used to come through the moon. Yes, that's great, 0:07:46.520 --> 0:07:50.120 same thing. Here I am. But it was fun, you know, 0:07:50.240 --> 0:07:53.760 it was cute. It was something cute and uh I 0:07:54.000 --> 0:07:56.640 never expected to do that because they're always like, you 0:07:56.640 --> 0:07:58.760 got to go behind the line, you can't go you know, 0:07:58.960 --> 0:08:01.160 here I am, and I said, I said to my dworder, 0:08:01.440 --> 0:08:05.240 we have to memorize these moves that we could start 0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:07.440 dancing too with the people. But it was it was 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:11.320 just cute. You grabbed King Arthur's sword and you start 0:08:11.320 --> 0:08:15.680 doing the thing with the kendostick. This is his second nature. 0:08:15.840 --> 0:08:18.840 You're in front of a crowd. I stripped the sword. 0:08:20.720 --> 0:08:23.160 It was it was just just one of those things 0:08:23.200 --> 0:08:25.400 that that happened. But it happened three times and it 0:08:25.480 --> 0:08:30.320 was just it was so fun. What else We went 0:08:30.440 --> 0:08:40.079 on ratituy four times? Oh wow, four times. At one 0:08:40.160 --> 0:08:48.120 point I want to say the line was like four 0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:51.959 hours long or something like that. It was, well, it's 0:08:52.000 --> 0:08:54.960 a new right, the new ride, you know what I mean. 0:08:56.320 --> 0:08:59.920 So the consensus of everybody that I hear walking out was, 0:09:00.240 --> 0:09:02.160 you know, it's a cute ride. But I wouldn't wait 0:09:02.160 --> 0:09:06.079 four hours for it again. But we loved it. We 0:09:06.160 --> 0:09:09.560 loved it. It's great for little kids, very clever the 0:09:09.600 --> 0:09:14.600 way you know, the trackless thing runs. It was really 0:09:14.640 --> 0:09:24.120 really cute. Gideons Gideon's Cookie line in Disney Springs. I 0:09:24.160 --> 0:09:27.160 don't know about anybody knows about Gideons, but they are 0:09:27.240 --> 0:09:31.960 the massive cookies. They're like a pound each. If you 0:09:32.000 --> 0:09:34.880 don't know about it, look it up. They're ridiculously good. 0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.880 Six and a half hour wait time for the cookies 0:09:39.040 --> 0:09:42.520 for the cookies. When we first got to Disney spring 0:09:42.600 --> 0:09:48.080 we got there towards the lunch afternoon time, and it 0:09:48.120 --> 0:09:50.560 was a virtual cue by then because in the morning 0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.360 you can go and you can line up. And we asked, 0:09:53.360 --> 0:09:55.240 we said, you know how long for the return and 0:09:55.320 --> 0:09:58.160 she said six and a half hours. And I said 0:09:58.960 --> 0:10:02.360 that would make the return. I'm nine thirty and I'm 0:10:02.400 --> 0:10:07.200 not gonna stay here until nine thirty pm. Yes, because 0:10:07.400 --> 0:10:09.840 they'll text you yo, you're it's ready, and then you 0:10:10.000 --> 0:10:11.480 just go and you have to wait in the line. 0:10:12.040 --> 0:10:14.400 So my husband is such a mark for these cookies. 0:10:15.559 --> 0:10:20.160 He literally, on two different days went by himself, took 0:10:20.200 --> 0:10:25.160 an uber, went by himself got in line at nine 0:10:25.200 --> 0:10:27.880 o'clock because that's when Disney Springs will let you in, 0:10:28.280 --> 0:10:30.920 and then the store opens at ten. So he was 0:10:31.000 --> 0:10:33.160 third in line one day and fifth in line the 0:10:33.240 --> 0:10:37.320 other day and got both. Uh. He bought seven cookies 0:10:37.360 --> 0:10:40.400 each time, and then a piece of cake was brought 0:10:40.440 --> 0:10:43.800 home which was bigger than my head. Very good job. Yeah, 0:10:43.800 --> 0:10:48.640 well yeah, I said, do we need these cookies? Absolutely, 0:10:48.679 --> 0:10:51.000 we need these cookies. I said, well, then you go. 0:10:51.120 --> 0:10:52.920 I'm not dragging the kids out at eight o'clock in 0:10:52.960 --> 0:10:55.560 the morning. So he went and he left, and he 0:10:55.640 --> 0:10:58.080 got these cookies, which are all for the cookie all 0:10:58.120 --> 0:11:02.680 for the cookies, yes, and really really good cookies. But 0:11:03.360 --> 0:11:05.280 I wasn't about to go out at eight am to 0:11:06.360 --> 0:11:09.720 you know, the Queen needs to just wrestle at Queen 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.000 needs the beauty sleep for a reason. I'm getting the 0:11:13.080 --> 0:11:15.720 kids ready, I'm getting myself ready. There's a lot going on. 0:11:16.960 --> 0:11:20.800 But yeah, the weather was great. I got to try 0:11:20.880 --> 0:11:25.760 the mushroom risotto. It was the only thing in Epcot 0:11:25.880 --> 0:11:28.600 at the Festival of the Arts booths that I wanted 0:11:28.640 --> 0:11:33.760 to try, and oh my god, ten of them. It 0:11:33.840 --> 0:11:36.240 was like nine dollars and fifty cents and you only 0:11:36.280 --> 0:11:39.480 got about eight bites worth. It was very small and 0:11:39.520 --> 0:11:43.200 I shared it, but it was so good and it 0:11:43.320 --> 0:11:45.480 was the only booth that I took anything from, so 0:11:45.559 --> 0:11:49.319 that was delicious. Fessel of the Arts was very fun. 0:11:50.720 --> 0:11:54.360 If you've never been. They have a wall that you 0:11:54.480 --> 0:11:58.720 get a little pink cup and they say, you know, 0:11:59.160 --> 0:12:01.480 number eight is your spot, and you get the paint 0:12:01.520 --> 0:12:04.480 like five squares and at the end it becomes this 0:12:04.640 --> 0:12:08.800 cool mural of something. And before we got there they 0:12:08.880 --> 0:12:11.199 had started it and it was almost done, and then 0:12:11.200 --> 0:12:15.960 the rain hit and it dissolved all the paint boo, 0:12:16.200 --> 0:12:18.719 so everything was gone, and they started again, so now 0:12:18.720 --> 0:12:22.960 it's figments face like four times or whatever. So that 0:12:23.200 --> 0:12:26.320 was I felt so bad. And like the chalk, the 0:12:26.440 --> 0:12:29.199 chalk art on the on the ground got all messed 0:12:29.280 --> 0:12:32.559 up from the rain and stuff like that. One day 0:12:32.600 --> 0:12:37.600 it poured, it absolutely poured. Sumi Sakai came to visit 0:12:38.720 --> 0:12:41.160 and so I had a lovely She came to visit 0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:44.840 me twice. Actually she said, adorable freezing you mind, I 0:12:44.920 --> 0:12:48.720 come over? Absolutely not come over. So the first time 0:12:48.800 --> 0:12:51.000 she came she was by herself, and then the second 0:12:51.080 --> 0:12:54.640 time friends came and it was. We had a dinner 0:12:54.800 --> 0:12:57.840 and yes, that was quite the friend. Yes it was, 0:12:58.080 --> 0:13:02.640 and very surprised to see. Well, you know, I don't 0:13:02.640 --> 0:13:06.720 want to really talk about that too much. I'm I 0:13:06.840 --> 0:13:09.720 was just I thought it was very very cool. I mean, 0:13:09.880 --> 0:13:14.439 you know, you know, but uh yeah, we we got 0:13:14.480 --> 0:13:19.000 to eat and share some stories and it was a 0:13:19.000 --> 0:13:22.920 lot of fun seeing her because now she's down there, 0:13:23.000 --> 0:13:28.520 she's not up here anymore. So I love SueMi. Trying 0:13:28.520 --> 0:13:30.760 to think we we just went to some cool restaurants. 0:13:30.760 --> 0:13:35.520 Who went to t Rex. We we went to Rainforest Cafe, 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:38.240 which is generic, but the kids like that. We went 0:13:38.280 --> 0:13:40.800 there the last time. I love it. We went there 0:13:41.240 --> 0:13:44.000 t Rex. I had a delicious I'm really in the 0:13:44.080 --> 0:13:51.520 mushrooms I had. That was delightful. Best meal of the trip. 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:57.240 We went to the Beer Garden in Germany and I 0:13:57.320 --> 0:14:00.760 filmed a little of it. We had an I show. 0:14:02.360 --> 0:14:04.360 We had a night there. It's back to the buffet, 0:14:04.559 --> 0:14:06.480 so you can go up a million times. They have 0:14:06.480 --> 0:14:09.880 a really delicious beer cheese soup. They have pretzel buns. 0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:12.520 I was all carved up dipping my buns in my 0:14:12.679 --> 0:14:18.720 soup and the beating and really good stuff. I don't know. 0:14:18.800 --> 0:14:21.240 It was just a really nice trip. You know. I 0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.520 hate it every day that went by. I do this 0:14:23.560 --> 0:14:26.120 every time every day that went by, I'm like bummed 0:14:26.160 --> 0:14:29.960 because it's like one day less my vacation, you know. 0:14:30.560 --> 0:14:33.560 And I know we were there for fifteen days and 0:14:33.600 --> 0:14:37.560 that's a lot, but like I would have stayed another 0:14:37.600 --> 0:14:41.480 fifteen days, Like I just I just love it. I 0:14:41.520 --> 0:14:43.520 was just looking at your pictures, just saying to myself, 0:14:44.280 --> 0:14:47.000 not the first day, because it's funny. My uncle and 0:14:47.000 --> 0:14:49.280 aunt live in Hallahassee and they were having the cold 0:14:49.280 --> 0:14:52.240 weather too, so you heard about it from their perspective. 0:14:53.240 --> 0:14:55.320 Every day. I was like, I would show the picture 0:14:55.400 --> 0:14:56.960 to like kids, or I show it to Liz. I'd 0:14:56.960 --> 0:15:00.640 be like, I want this weather. I want this is what. 0:15:00.840 --> 0:15:03.920 I don't care about the hot I don't care. I 0:15:03.960 --> 0:15:05.400 don't know if it's like a switch that one off 0:15:05.400 --> 0:15:08.280 on me about the cold and the last year. I 0:15:08.280 --> 0:15:12.960 freaking hate cold and it's it's And I was looking 0:15:13.040 --> 0:15:15.640 at your the sky, not even like just the just 0:15:15.680 --> 0:15:19.440 the sky is like, wow, look at that blue sky. Beautiful. 0:15:19.480 --> 0:15:21.280 I wasn't looking at anything else in the pictures after 0:15:21.320 --> 0:15:24.400 that sky. Yeah, crazy, But let me ask you this 0:15:25.360 --> 0:15:30.400 fiftieth anniversary, did it live up to it? The only 0:15:30.480 --> 0:15:34.120 thing that I saw that was different. They have these 0:15:36.760 --> 0:15:44.240 sculptures in gold stitch Donald Duck. They're all scat you know, 0:15:44.720 --> 0:15:46.320 you have to you're supposed to find them. I don't 0:15:46.360 --> 0:15:48.440 know if it's like a scavenger hunt and you get 0:15:48.480 --> 0:15:50.600 something if you find them all. But they're all over 0:15:50.680 --> 0:15:54.560 the parks and they're in gold. I saw those and 0:15:54.720 --> 0:15:56.800 they were cute, you know. And then they had the 0:15:56.840 --> 0:16:02.640 fiftieth banners and they're like in gold with glitter. And 0:16:02.680 --> 0:16:05.640 then they supposedly have these treats that you can get, 0:16:05.760 --> 0:16:09.680 but my family, we're all about Mickey pretzels and then 0:16:09.680 --> 0:16:11.880 the kids like the premium bars and that's the only 0:16:11.960 --> 0:16:15.360 treats that they wanted popcorn. Like, they don't go for 0:16:15.400 --> 0:16:18.840 the fancy tmancy desserts, you know what I mean. Like, 0:16:19.240 --> 0:16:23.680 we didn't really get into those. But I really didn't 0:16:23.760 --> 0:16:28.560 notice anything different, you know from past trips that would 0:16:28.560 --> 0:16:31.800 make me think, oh, it's the fiftieth. The castle was 0:16:31.840 --> 0:16:35.480 decorated for the fiftieth, and that looked great. I saw 0:16:35.520 --> 0:16:39.080 that a couple of yeah, wonderful, it looks nice. But 0:16:39.200 --> 0:16:43.120 other than that, Like what was so different? I couldn't 0:16:43.120 --> 0:16:47.720 tell you. Just a bunch of gold statues and and 0:16:48.240 --> 0:16:51.160 I don't know that was it. Treats. Yeah, because that's 0:16:51.160 --> 0:16:54.120 what we're talking about, how we're gonna put our trip together. 0:16:54.160 --> 0:16:55.880 We're looking at June. I told you a couple of 0:16:55.880 --> 0:16:59.080 weeks ago, understanding it's gonna be hot as balls, but 0:16:59.200 --> 0:17:03.080 I'll take it right now. I hate the cold. And 0:17:03.120 --> 0:17:04.760 I got the one of the main things I want 0:17:04.800 --> 0:17:07.320 to see, you know, the cool stuff for the fifteenth anniversary. 0:17:07.760 --> 0:17:10.080 And the castle looked great from the pictures I saw 0:17:10.119 --> 0:17:13.439 that you had, and that's that's a huge allure. But 0:17:13.680 --> 0:17:15.920 I want to I want to see like specialty stuff. 0:17:15.920 --> 0:17:18.320 And I wonder in previous years would they have done more. 0:17:19.440 --> 0:17:25.520 I don't know. I mean they did have characters out, 0:17:26.280 --> 0:17:29.719 but you still could not get near them. So it 0:17:29.760 --> 0:17:32.760 was like a rope was up and you could stand 0:17:32.800 --> 0:17:36.199 in front of the rope and character. Yeah, like the 0:17:36.320 --> 0:17:41.760 character was six feet behind you. Another thing was like, 0:17:41.880 --> 0:17:44.280 I my mother in law kept telling me get a 0:17:44.280 --> 0:17:48.040 good picture of the four of you, right, So I'm like, 0:17:48.160 --> 0:17:51.880 I'm trying to. And there are certain cast members who 0:17:51.960 --> 0:17:56.200 won't use your phone they won't touch it. Oh okay. 0:17:56.480 --> 0:17:59.239 So I had to ask every cast member do you 0:17:59.640 --> 0:18:02.439 will you you would take my phone and snap a picture, 0:18:02.640 --> 0:18:06.000 And one finally explained to me. She said, listen, you 0:18:06.000 --> 0:18:10.639 know we're back working, but if we if we know 0:18:10.840 --> 0:18:15.919 somebody who had COVID like, we could still be at risk, 0:18:16.680 --> 0:18:19.879 she said, which even quarantine like they only have to 0:18:19.920 --> 0:18:23.480 quarantine I think five days or something. So she didn't 0:18:23.480 --> 0:18:27.960 feel comfortable touching my phone, she said, And a lot 0:18:27.960 --> 0:18:31.120 of cast members wouldn't and some would. But when you 0:18:31.600 --> 0:18:34.320 when they they don't use your phone and you get 0:18:34.320 --> 0:18:40.159 it scanned. The memory maker is two hundred dollars and 0:18:40.280 --> 0:18:42.360 all I wanted was a picture in front of the castle. 0:18:42.760 --> 0:18:45.080 So I found a lady who would do it. She 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:47.240 was super nice. Oh, I'll do it, no problems. She 0:18:47.280 --> 0:18:54.040 took my phone. My husband wore his baseball cat, which 0:18:54.119 --> 0:18:58.000 made from here his nose up, you can't see his eyes. 0:19:00.400 --> 0:19:02.600 And that was the picture, so you don't you don't 0:19:02.600 --> 0:19:05.600 see any So I'm sure she's she's really mad that 0:19:05.640 --> 0:19:07.760 she didn't get a good picture in front of the castle. 0:19:07.840 --> 0:19:10.359 But I mean I tried. It was just hard. It 0:19:10.440 --> 0:19:13.080 was the one day it was a Monday, we were 0:19:13.080 --> 0:19:16.040 at the Magic Kingdom. We went four times this day. 0:19:16.080 --> 0:19:20.360 You couldn't move people everywhere. Really, okay, it on a Monday. 0:19:20.480 --> 0:19:22.440 It was so bad. And then towards the end of 0:19:22.480 --> 0:19:27.199 the trip the cheerleaders showed up. Oh that was my 0:19:27.240 --> 0:19:32.320 next question. But it wasn't as bad because I don't 0:19:32.400 --> 0:19:37.520 think a lot of the international troops came over because 0:19:37.520 --> 0:19:42.640 of COVID. I didn't really see any foreign groups, so 0:19:42.720 --> 0:19:44.840 it was but they're still annoying and I still hate 0:19:44.880 --> 0:19:48.440 them all. And they took them like a hundred spaces 0:19:48.480 --> 0:19:53.440 in line, which is really annoying. But yeah, I mean, 0:19:53.920 --> 0:19:57.040 you know, wait, times fluctuated. Now. I know a lot 0:19:57.080 --> 0:19:59.560 of people were saying, like, don't trust the weight times. 0:20:00.080 --> 0:20:01.919 So a lot of the rides when we went in, 0:20:02.000 --> 0:20:06.239 I would time them and if it said fifty, it 0:20:06.280 --> 0:20:11.200 was only twenty five. Then other days I noticed if 0:20:11.200 --> 0:20:14.760 it said fifty, it was fifty. So it's it's like 0:20:15.600 --> 0:20:19.080 it's a crap shoot, you gotta just roll with the 0:20:19.080 --> 0:20:22.040 punches there. So, but some rides were on Godly Loan. 0:20:23.280 --> 0:20:26.119 That's yeah, man, that's you know. I guess it's you 0:20:26.160 --> 0:20:29.960 gotta expect, you know, I guess it's at the process. 0:20:30.200 --> 0:20:32.680 I have a hook up, so I didn't. We didn't 0:20:32.720 --> 0:20:37.160 have to wait in any long lines. Only once we did, 0:20:37.200 --> 0:20:39.560 and that's only because it broke down and we were 0:20:39.600 --> 0:20:43.879 stuck in the middle. What was it, I want to say, 0:20:45.200 --> 0:20:52.080 was it soaring? I think? I think yeah, And it 0:20:52.200 --> 0:20:54.359 was like, uh, it was supposed to be like a 0:20:54.359 --> 0:20:56.600 twenty minute wait and it ended up being an hour 0:20:56.640 --> 0:20:59.840 and a half or something, and you know, it's annoying, 0:21:00.040 --> 0:21:02.720 but there was nothing to do because it was shut. 0:21:03.119 --> 0:21:06.920 It was right what day did you really start the 0:21:06.960 --> 0:21:11.119 depression where it was like, ah, crap, like we're getting 0:21:11.119 --> 0:21:14.520 close to coming and gets like it hit that hump 0:21:14.800 --> 0:21:16.800 where it was like, all right, we're closer to the 0:21:16.920 --> 0:21:19.440 end in the beginning. This is how asinine I am. 0:21:19.680 --> 0:21:23.240 The second day we were there, I was thinking, like, 0:21:23.359 --> 0:21:25.240 oh my god, the first day is the most exciting 0:21:25.280 --> 0:21:27.520 day and it's over, and I'm really sad about it, 0:21:27.560 --> 0:21:30.480 because you know, your first day you're like, yes, we're here, 0:21:30.640 --> 0:21:32.439 we want to do all this stuff. So the second 0:21:32.560 --> 0:21:36.520 day I'm having like these withdrawals and I still have 0:21:36.600 --> 0:21:39.040 two weeks to go. It hasn't even started yet, and 0:21:39.080 --> 0:21:42.000 I'm already said yeah, I'm insane, Like I don't know 0:21:42.040 --> 0:21:45.240 what the hell's wrong with me. But it's like every 0:21:45.359 --> 0:21:48.359 day that goes by, I was getting a little more sad, 0:21:48.600 --> 0:21:50.720 and I would tell the kids, like, oh, we still 0:21:50.760 --> 0:21:53.479 have time, don't worry. Even up to the last day, 0:21:53.520 --> 0:21:55.959 I'm like, this is our last full day. We have 0:21:56.080 --> 0:21:58.520 to enjoy it. And like we have a tradition we 0:21:58.560 --> 0:22:01.159 always go on Powers of the Caribbean as the last ride. 0:22:01.760 --> 0:22:09.160 And we were getting on Winnie the Pew and it 0:22:09.160 --> 0:22:11.800 it shut down or something, so they gave us a 0:22:11.840 --> 0:22:15.200 fast pass we could use at any time. They said, here, 0:22:15.280 --> 0:22:17.399 here's a return, just use it for any ride. So 0:22:17.480 --> 0:22:19.760 we saved it for the pirates at the end because 0:22:21.160 --> 0:22:25.560 it was like your money in the bank. Yeah, it's 0:22:25.640 --> 0:22:28.280 just been a tradition. That's always the last ride that 0:22:28.320 --> 0:22:31.640 we like to go on, and it was we made 0:22:31.640 --> 0:22:34.600 that the last ride. But I mean we got to 0:22:34.640 --> 0:22:37.520 do everything. There wasn't one ride that we didn't get 0:22:37.600 --> 0:22:41.919 to ride that we wanted to and we got on everything, 0:22:42.280 --> 0:22:45.840 which was great. Expedition Everest was was shut down. My 0:22:45.920 --> 0:22:48.840 daughter really likes that one, So that was I mean, 0:22:48.880 --> 0:22:50.560 you couldn't ride it if you wanted to because it 0:22:50.600 --> 0:22:54.480 was it was closed. But and a splash mountain, but 0:22:54.560 --> 0:22:56.520 we don't do that one because you get soaked and 0:22:57.600 --> 0:22:59.520 that's on the list. We we haven't done that since 0:22:59.520 --> 0:23:02.200 we started again. Well it'll be perfect for you guys 0:23:02.240 --> 0:23:06.960 because it's June. Yeah. How about people Mover. It was 0:23:07.000 --> 0:23:08.879 closed the last time you were there. We got to 0:23:08.960 --> 0:23:12.000 ride it one time, okay, one time. We usually go 0:23:12.080 --> 0:23:15.120 on it one hundred times. The line for people Mover 0:23:15.359 --> 0:23:19.439 was like super ridiculous. It was all the way like 0:23:20.080 --> 0:23:24.000 past the que past astro orbiter, around the bend like 0:23:24.040 --> 0:23:27.040 we were like, what the hell is for the people mover? Wow? 0:23:27.080 --> 0:23:30.520 For the people mover. Yeah, it was so backed up 0:23:30.560 --> 0:23:33.399 over there. And I don't know if it's because I 0:23:33.400 --> 0:23:35.920 think it was the day that Space Mountain wasn't running 0:23:36.040 --> 0:23:39.919 or I don't know what something wasn't running, but it 0:23:40.000 --> 0:23:43.560 was really really backed up and oh no Space Mountain 0:23:43.560 --> 0:23:46.280 was running. Because that's where my daughter went with my husband. 0:23:47.040 --> 0:23:49.840 I took my son and I actually had to take 0:23:49.920 --> 0:23:51.760 him to the left floor because we couldn't get the 0:23:51.760 --> 0:23:54.240 people mover was just too ridiculous, So I said, let's 0:23:54.280 --> 0:23:58.359 go to the left floor. Oh, go to the left floor. 0:23:58.520 --> 0:24:01.680 I submit a joke, right, you can text a joke 0:24:01.760 --> 0:24:04.879 to this number and then they'll, you know, if you're lucky, 0:24:04.920 --> 0:24:09.760 they'll they'll say your joke, say my son's name, and 0:24:09.840 --> 0:24:14.960 I completely quiet. I go yes, real loud, and then 0:24:15.000 --> 0:24:21.280
