Derek, before we get into this, have you ever actually met
Pauline? No, I mean, we've never met in
person or I don't even think virtually.
So I know everything about her from Paul and Amy and Jeff.
I know you, but I've never actually met her.
Met her. You weren't the most expensive
dinner in history at our first Oktoberfest.
Oh God, Shula's. Shula's that's.
It No, I was not. That was Highway Robert E Yeah,
I I got some steak that I thought was maybe going to be
$100, which is ridiculous enough, and it turned out to be
$200.00. So there's a reason why shul is
closed and is not around anymore.
I feel like we can bad talk it in that case.
Pauline's husband is like the nicest guy you'll ever meet.
He was out for murder that night.
He was out for revenge. But I would say our server was a
slick salesman. I mean, he was slinging those
steaks like nobody's business. He talked up that dry age versus
wet aged beef. I mean, he knew his.
Stuff when you see like the steak, the most expensive steak
on the menu is like what, 70 bucks you expect?
OK, this special is going to be maybe 100, maybe push it like
1/15/20. Not, not $200 for a piece of
meat with nothing on the side. Like they might as well just rob
you guys and mug you in an alley, you know, shook you down.
I guess you would have had the same result.
I think I think that's the new themed restaurant that's coming
to the boardwalk. Where you just want.
To. Just hit you over the head and
take your money. Hey everybody, and welcome to
this week's episode of The DVC Show.
I'm your host, Paul Krieger. And yes, I'm alone in my office
all by myself this week, but that's because we have a
wonderful guest with us. We've got the Pauline Murphy in
the house. Like literally in the house.
Like staying in our house. Literally staying in our house.
Yeah, and she is downstairs like right above me currently with my
lovely wife Amy Krieger. We've got sales executive for
the DVC resale market, Derek de Boer.
Hey now, happy Monday everybody, and hope you're staying warm.
The Honorable Jeff Haslam. I'm going to take a month break
on these shows so that you can be excited to see me when I come
back. It's.
Like and and Jeff, Jeff and there's Jeff again.
I'll just reverse it. I'll.
Make you do the intro from now on.
How about that? Do it.
Well, welcome everybody. This week's episode of the DC
show. Thank you for joining us.
So we talked Pauline into coming on these shows when she, when
she decided she was going to come visit us for a week.
And then Amy took it a step further and said, hey, Pauline,
will you just come up with some random questions that you can
ask us on the DVC show live on air.
And she, I feel like you totally embraced this, Pauline.
Like you just were like, yes, 100%.
Absolutely. I I researched, I watched the
past episodes, I recorded all the past questions and I was
writing down my question. I'm really excited.
I got backup questions. Pauline.
Doesn't take shortcuts, it's. All leading up to the she was
talking about all the notes she took from these three shows, and
I texted Derek on the side. I think I'm like, wait, people
prep for this? They don't just show up.
I was just going to say, Pauline has done more prep work for this
show than we have done for for all the shows.
Come on. Kudos.
True, we set these show topics 2 weeks ago actually and I sent
them to to Derek and and Jeff and so much so that Derek
messages me this morning because he had lost them in that time
and he's the one that always criticizes me for sending him so
late. Not true.
If I could go back and find that
response, and I only said this because you said specifically to
me and Jeff, Jeff and Derek don't get too comfortable with
these topics because you know they very well made change.
That would be saying did they change?
And the answer was no. And then I had to go find.
Him then then he had to go find him so I just sent him to him
again. But yeah, we are going to chat
through and answer Pauline's random questions.
These are the most nervous shows because I I'm not prepared for
them. So I'm very excited.
They're also the funnest shows because it's it's the most
unscripted that you'll see us. But before Pauline starts firing
away with her questions. This and all of our content is
brought to you as always by key holder vacations in the world of
DVC, DVC Resale market, where we forgot to mention this not too
long ago. But Derek, what's happening
right now with DVC Resale market something, it's hot, which is
not normal because it's cold everywhere in the world right
now. Right.
It's about as hot over at the DVC resale market.
Beautiful Segway Paul. Yes, it is.
It is time for the red hot deals promotion that began at the very
end of January. It runs through February 28th.
This is it. This is the biggest promo of the
whole entire year. We have sold well over probably
100 plus listings in just like a week and a half, two weeks
listing. Certain ones are priced 10%
below current market value. So they're no haggling.
If you like it, if you see it, if it you click it, you buy it,
it's perfect. So no back and forth, no can
ioffer this. It's just boom.
Go in there, find what you want. So check it out
dvcresalemarket.com. You can even search by listings
and do a little status search for red hot deals and we can
help you do that. If you're looking for financing
for that DVC resale market purchase, Monera Financial can
help and the DVC rental store where you can try before you
buy, rent some points or if you need some extra cash.
Not going to use your points this year, you can rent out your
own points for money. A lot of guests right now
looking for stays through spring break summer even into the
holiday season of 2026 already. So people booking people want
your points so rent them out with the DVC rental store.
Last but not least, unlock magic.com/DVC Fan for discounted
Walt Disney World called Universal and Disneyland Park
tickets including that special like 2 days free when you buy so
many days I don't know the details of it like magic.com/DVC
fan. That's where you'll find about
it. I'm going to turn this show over
to the lovely Pauline Murphy to fire away with her first
question for this rowdy bunch. Boy.
All right, so when you own DVC, I like to think you own a part
of the property. So if you had to claim one
object or item at your home resort as yours, what would it
be? Oh my gosh, I I already, I
already know, but it's gone now. So remember we used to say this
all the time for me. It's in a dumpster animal
Kingdom. It was the the tile with the
zebra on it. I was always like, that's my
zebra tile. I own that tile.
And so that's that's definitely my answer.
And I wish they would have sold those when they took them out.
I mean, yeah, what happened? It would have been like a yeah,
but they just went with like a sledgehammer and just.
Destroyed. Every zebra tile in every single
room like there was no no mercy for the zebra tile.
Amy, I'm going to come back to you because I like if now that
it's gone, like you've got to have like a second option.
I'll. Think about it.
Yeah, I'll probably steal the option that that you're going to
pick maybe in in some capacity because I would stay at Animal
Kingdom Lodge and I would say like one of those art prints on
the new Murphy beds, like of the map.
Oh my gosh. The map.
Jumbo and Kundi, but I feel like I don't own enough.
I don't think I own enough points to own that technically
because I don't know that I can upgrade from a tile to something
that large. So I think I'm going to have to
think and come back on this as well, but.
You can, Paul, you can just buy more points with me and then.
Yeah, no, we're we're point we're pointed out for a while.
I think we have too many, but Derek, do you have an answer to
the question? I, I do, it's funny.
And again, people need to know that we don't know these
questions like at all. So this is the first time that
we are hearing of them. This was a nice way to start
because it's not too crazy because we're taping this at the
very end of January. So if these questions go any
deeper, I'm probably going to wish the Dry January was done
with you. Already wished Dry January was
done with, let's be honest, January.
Second, you wished it. I'm almost there.
It.
Was funny, though. It was funny the other day,
Pauline, we were sitting on the couch and she was like, I have
like one or two questions that I'm not sure about.
Should I tell you what what they were?
And I was like, no, you should definitely not because the rawr
the response that comes out of us, the better.
So, Derek, continue. Yeah.
So as soon as you said that, I immediately thought of when I
think of the boardwalk and what I have the most memories up,
because that's my home resort, of course, is the boardwalk.
Right? When you walk in into the
boardwalk off to the right hand side, they've only recently
changed it. There was always a big oversized
couch. Like so before you enter the
lobby, right, you're coming from to where you park your car, that
little turn around there and that little middle area right to
the right hand side, there was a couch.
And that couch has so many stinking memories for me because
that's where we would always bring the kids.
And every year it was a tradition that when we would go
and check in, we'd have the kids sit on the couch.
So I have pictures and maybe I'll see if I can get some of
these to you before the show airs.
And you could do like a little thing while I'm talking.
But you'll see they were tiny, tiny every year.
It was always the first thing before we check in, go sit on
the couch next to each other. So I've got them to where they
were like this big and now they're, you know, 21 and 17
years old. But the only problem is with
that boardwalk refurb, they changed the flippin couch.
So now, now it is not a fun oversized couch.
It is just like a normal couch that you'd see at like, you
know, Hampton Inn sitting to the right side.
So I still make the kids go sit over there, go take a picture,
but it's just not as cool because it used to be a really
big oversized couch. So yeah, I just have a ton of
memories in there. So that is what I own at the
Boardwalk is that couch so. This is gonna go.
We gotta go find the couch at like the Lakeland Antiques Mall
or what's that other place? Magic or re lapsing magic or
Yeah. It's neither of those, but those
were great. Those were great alternative
titles. Jeff.
Jeff, do you have something that's still in a DVC villa
today? That might be your answer,
because so far we're striking out on things well.
The number of points I own now, probably the only thing I could
afford to call my own is like the TV remote control with no
batteries in it or something like that.
But I'm just going to claim the lamp at Old Key West because
it's my favorite lamp, the one that looks like a lifeguard
chair. The light blue, I don't know.
That's that's what I claim, even though again, I don't think I
have enough points now to to claim it for real.
Pauline, before we come back around with with some of our
maybe second guesses or second answers, do you have an answer
to this question? Well, I'll just start by saying
I have a deeply inflated sense of points when I get this
answer, so I'm going to say if. Derek can afford a couch.
We can have a map like you're. Just owning a tile.
So I always said one of the palm, so I don't know, at the
Riviera, one of the palm trees at the back of the Riviera.
I love those. Those row of trees leading up,
man. She's taking the flora and
fauna. The thing is, out of all of our
things, that's probably the one if she ran really fast, she
could get away with. Got a point there I.
Have Phil, he he can help me. He's pretty strong.
Oh my goodness. I was trying to think smaller as
we were going around and I was also at Animal Kingdom and as
part of the new. Something else as part.
Of the new refurbishment there there's a little zazu that sits
on top of the curtain rod and so that's.
Cool. Maybe like to?
Take him, but then I'd have to take the whole curtain rod and
with Jeff's point of running out of the villa with a whole what
you've you've completely changed the game now as to like, can you
escape with it? Are the are the bird artworks
still at the Polynesian or did they get rid of those with the
reverb? Do you know what I mean?
That like tiki birds that were hanging on the wall in the
studios of the longhouses. I think they're still there,
right? Because I think they're not
little. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Those were some of my favorites. So Polynesian is one of our home
resorts, so I want at least one tiki bird photo.
I actually it's in the other room at the moment, but she
actually has a piece of a villa. I do.
Have I have a boardwalk pillow so that pillow that's got the
red with the design on it in my office is a board is from the
boardwalk. I bought it at the Lakeland
Antiques Mall. It was.
From that crusty couch that Derek was talking about earlier.
Yeah, it was surprisingly expensive, if I remember
correctly, for a used pillow from the boardwalk.
It was, it was actually one of the cleaner ones.
There were too, like I know Pauline is.
So they had, they had the I know I washed it.
I took it home and washed it. They had what is it like the
round the tube pillow from the Polynesian hotel side that had
like the mahalo on it? Yeah, Yeah.
But and I know Pauline and Phil really loved that because they
spent their honeymoon on the hotel side at the Polynesian,
but the pillow was really gross. So I was like, I can't, no.
Appreciate. That.
Pauline, save us before we talk about dirty pillows any further.
What's what's our next question of the night, please?
Awesome. Well, my husband Phil and I have
a tradition. Every Disney trip we pick a song
to wake up to. It's like our 2:00 AM wake up to
our flight before we fly down and it's themed to that trip.
So for your next Disney trip or stay, what is your wake up song
going to be? You know, I'm going to say Paul,
because Paul made a wake up alarm for our Disney trip like
five years ago and it was ready to begin.
And the problem is it's been five years and he still has that
alarm. And sometimes if he sets the
right time, we end up with it And it's like you got to get up
and go to work at ready to begin.
I'm like ready to murder him. Do you remember?
The second one. No, I just that one really
sticks with me from. Hercules go the distance.
Oh yeah. But now it now it goes off at
like 2:30 AM when I have to take Amy to the airports because
she's going to Indianapolis for work or something.
It's like. What is it?
It's no longer like the magical feeling but I'm too lazy to re
change the song on the alarm I. Know he's totally ruined them,
totally ruined the Disney magic songs but I love the idea we
need a new one for just like fun trips if.
You had to pick one yourself, Amy.
What would it be? And why is it Clay Aiken?
Oh, gosh, OK, my favorite Disney song is so I would this is what
I would probably pick. I have to make sure I get this
right. So let me look really quickly.
Well, Amy. Looks, Derek and Jeff, do you
have yours in mind? Yeah, I'll go.
It's definitely gonna be the Fantasmic and intro, you know,
that's just, it's everybody knows.
It's my favorite show. I just took some friends there
last week to see it for the first time.
They loved it as much as I did, so yeah.
Do you spray someone with a water bottle to wake up it?
Might start, actually, yeah. And.
Like wave the hands. I'm wondering at what point in
the song do you wake up? Because I know that the audio
version that's actually online just starts with that weird.
And it's just like, and then it like gets into the main hit of
it. So I'm like, what?
What point do you actually wake up in the song?
Imagine. All right.
Like a gentle wake up, kind of like, yeah, okay.
There's a lot of singing in this show already and I'm excited.
Just a. Lot of random noise.
Mine is part one of my favorite songs is part of the Happily
Ever after pre show. And there's a set of like like
4-3 or four songs that are kind of like or orchestra like
they're very like fiddle, a heavy like fiddle violin that
they play. And the one that they play right
before happily ever after start is a version of a whole new
world. And the artist is Jenny Oakes
Baker. And like the if you listen to
it, you would recognize it, but the fiddle part of it is just so
pretty. And I just always remember like
how excited that song used to get me because it was, you know,
heavily A rafters getting ready to start.
This is the song right before it.
I love this song. It's so pretty.
So if you've never heard it, download it on your your apple,
you know, whatever. And if you're wondering what the
actual pre show songs are, I used to have them.
Oh, here they are. It's it's that song by Jenny
Oakes Baker. It's her version of colors of
the wind. And then another group called
Midnight String quartet. They're when they did bell that
and when will My life again. Also the midnight string.
Those are the four songs they play right forever ever after.
So. I have a question, What What was
that song again and how did it go?
Any singing this karaoke, not because I'm going to do it, but
because Jeff and I know Amy and I bet Derek will do it because
you guys all have good voices. So Paul can sing.
All Paul's thinking about at the moment is editing together all
of the little clips of us singing.
For this. Song so far like and it would
just be magical. Also for those of you that are
going on the key holder cruise with us July 20th this year, we
do have a karaoke night planned. I don't know if I've mentioned
that before, but that is one of the onboard events and not to
fully you know, sidebar us from this conversation.
Does anyone else out there for karaoke practice because Jeff
was talking to me and on a text thread the other day about
karaoke and what were you practicing?
What was it, Kansas? No, it wasn't kids.
I don't even remember because we ended up not going.
What did I tell you I was practicing?
I don't remember. But Jeff was practicing for
karaoke and I said I've either been doing karaoke wrong my
entire life or something. So America Idol, watch out Jeff
coming for you. No, I I have a very limited
wheelhouse and a very limited range.
Amy can sing the phone book and it sounds great.
I don't like to look like an idiot.
So the five songs that are in my repertoire I have to make.
Sure, they're dialed in there's. Deep competition in my home.
Oh my goodness, even. More so he did come back with a
text response that said Because if I don't practice and a video
gets out there, Amy Krieger's going to put it on Patreon of
me. So.
It's accurate, accurate, accurate very.
Oh my goodness. Yeah, before I wait, I don't
want to derail you too much, but I missed I I did.
I missed recording most of it. But when we were at Epcot, what
was it last week, Jeff was trying to explain of a show that
was on a Virgin cruise and it was like intense.
He was like doing the dance moves and everywhere.
And he even was like. Going around he almost ran into
a group of people and then he's like kind of stop and wait for
him to pass by and he like kept going and I'm so mad I missed I
have like a little chunk of it that I am going to put on
Patreon, but I miss most of it so I.
Really need new friends. Yes, you do we.
Love you, Derek. Tell us why it's Rob Zombie and
why. It's not Rob Zombie.
No, it would I think. I mean, at least for me, I think
it depends on what Disney thing I'm I'm doing and kind of where
I'm going. So I think if my next official
Disney hotel stay is going to be in March, where we've got a
little staycation at the Polynesian.
So I'll probably find I always love it's not a Disney song, but
we always try to find like tropical, you know, Hawaiian
type music. So like Izzy, you know,
somewhere over the rainbow or Hawaiian roller coaster ride.
If you're going to the Polynesian to, you know, do that
kind of a trip, if it's like an Epcot trip or just a Disney trip
in general, I don't think you can ever go wrong with the
Millennium celebration soundtrack.
So especially Tapestry of Nations from Epcot, the one and
here's not like for you all, the one that goes hey, hey, hey,
hey, hey, hey. Come on now, join with.
Me and they get the big giant puppets and they're going around
that music is goosebumpy and deuce if they ever did at like
AD 23 or you know one of those things and they announced that
tapestry of nations was coming back to Epcot, I swear to God I
I would lose it. I would lose it because that's
that's would you look like. Anything like this just out of
curiosity? It's definitely Richard Derek,
but it's it's, it's like. It's a picture of me in an ACDC
shirt. Yeah.
Why do you have that? I think that was Oktoberfest.
It was. It was what I.
Woke up to in the morning I. Didn't know if that was recent.
What a lucky winner you are. Derek at Destination D 23 this
year. They actually had one of the
puppets on display. It did.
Which was pretty cool. From.
I wonder where those things are, and I swear to God, they've got.
Them Lakeland Antique Mall I was.
Just if they're selling those puppets next to like dirty
pillows, I'm sure. You wash them first.
I apologize for your neighbors already.
And now I know your neighbors, Derek, just walking down the
street with a giant puppet on its back, like, hey, trying to.
Walk. The dogs, Pauline.
So you guys are just wrapping a trip down here.
I think you stayed at the Riviera.
You did several nights. Did you have a song for this
trip? Yes.
We we change it every trip, just like Derek alluded to.
So this trip it was Everybody wants to be a cat for the rest
of. Cats now.
Goodbye to. I mean, for me it's immediate
wake up out of bed and dancing and convincing Phil to also get
up by dancing. And as a result, she now wants
the art print from the Riviera with the cats on it.
It will be delivered to the house in three weeks.
No, she. Already bought it.
She already bought it. See.
Yes. I'm gonna need, I'm gonna need
at least like a verse or two of that song because I don't
remember that. Everybody.
Everybody wants to. The only cat who knows where
it's at. I actually only know it from
Mickey's mixed magic fireworks show, so I'm really bad I
haven't seen the movie. Speaking of.
Artwork. Speaking of artwork at resorts,
we did just recently find out that the Joey Chu artwork from
Bay Lake Tower is now available for sale in the Contemporary
gift shop. So it has joined the club with
the Riviera and the Pawley Island Tower.
I mean, it is, yeah. The easiest way Disney could
ever have made money is just allowing us to purchase,
purchase this artwork. So.
Derek. Bay Lake.
Tower in that hotel that's next to the contemporary.
If you did, I was just. Going to say, are you telling me
that I could finally bring a piece of Bay Lake Tower to my
own house? We've got to get Derek in there
because that artwork is amazing. He's missing out.
It is pretty. It's beautiful, I think.
We've spent the past 15 minutes singing and dancing and whatnot.
So Pauline, what can be better than that question?
Well maybe singing adjacent, but if Disney plus had a Disney
wrapped like Spotify wrapped, what would be your top watch
Disney content? Oh, that's a good one.
Does does Hulu count? No, just I mean.
I would say if it's on Disney plus for you that would count.
I'm not. Yeah, so.
Paul, you watch mostly on Disney Plus.
You've watched a lot of like the Marvel stuff.
Yeah. I would say for me, the most
things I've watched is like Doug Days.
I love it. If you've never seen the short
Doug Days and Forky asks a question, just the the Pixar
shorts. They're so cute.
And then Partysaurus Rex. Yep, that's my are.
We sticking strictly to Disney plus though?
Or is it just like any Disney related content that we watch?
Like could it be on YouTube or? No, it has to be on the Disney.
Plus, yeah, follow the rules. I'll go why you think so?
There's probably not one thing that I watched, although I did
binge watch all of Secret Lives of Mormon Wives on Hulu, so that
would probably be. You were great in that too, by
the way. Thank you, Thank you.
I. Try really hard.
I would have to say though, because I set myself up last
year to with a goal to watch all of the animated and all of the
Pixar movies. From.
Disney And so I started at Snow White and just like went in
order and I think I only made it to like Cinderella before I gave
up. But Pixar I made it all the way
through. So those would be the one I
guess. Love it.
Yeah. I think I'd have to like, go
back to what Amy said. I feel like mostly on Disney
Plus, I'm either watching Star Wars movies or I'm watching when
Disney Plus first came out and they were really overdoing it
with a lot of the Marvel, you know?
Yeah. Shows and serieses and
everything like that, obviously you got to kind of got ingrained
in those. So that's like the most that
I've watched. For some reason the Arendale
Yule log came into my mind at one point.
I know we used. To put it on, we used to put
that. On in the background during the
day. Are you seeing?
1. TikTok where people are sitting
around their Yule log and you look up and it's actually Darth
Vader when they burn him at the end of return of the day.
My. Gosh.
Nothing says Christmas like a burning Vader.
I used to go on Disney Plus like when it first came out and I
would watch the old do you remember the the like Disney
Channel TV movies? I remember they were on so it
was like. Smart house rank.
Smart girls, yeah. Alley cat strike, which Kaylee
Kukua was in that like in her early days.
Wish upon A star yeah, there was all.
I used to watch those right in the.
Dirt with that name. What's that?
I Oh, I couldn't. I had no idea how to pronounce
it. I was going to say the other one
that's on Wish Upon A Star and I was like, Nope, I'm going to put
you that. Katherine.
Heigl.
Heigl, Yeah. Yeah, I used to love those like
movies because that's what I grew up on, yes.
Derek, what's your Disney Plus binge?
Yeah, so I'm not going to count like Hulu stuff.
Just like Jeff said, you could probably go to my Hulu and see
that Elio has been unwatched still for like the last like 2
years. I think every single time I try
to go I'm I'm going to finish it tonight.
Then I go like 6 minutes and then I just shut it off.
So that's always there. But in terms of content to
always watch, I love more than anything.
And I've said it on other shows, I think the it's the Behind the
Attraction series. Where?
They take. Attraction, I love it.
I think it's irreverent. I love the commentary on it.
I love learning about the attractions and it doesn't take
itself too seriously all that. So I love that.
I'm a sucker for any documentary like behind the scenes on how
stuff is made. That's that's why I'm deep on
Netflix now into the new season of Unreal, behind the scenes of
WWE. So I love that love.
What was that one called Paul? We love that.
Oh yeah. Do you remember?
Yeah, I don't. I don't remember.
It was like. The animal Kingdom behind the
scenes and like every episode they would talk about a new
group of different animals and and you would learn how they
what's. That called.
How they care for them it was. Cool, Eric.
Doesn't want to include Hulu in his because he doesn't want to
admit publicly that it would be the Bachelor and Bachelorette on
his marks wall. Well, no, I I would not watch it
because I would just watch it live because I wouldn't.
Yeah. He he has that, he has that time
permanently blocked on his schedule.
So yeah, don't call for use timeshare during that hour, no.
No, no you can't, Derek at dvcresalemarket.com.
Pauline, what's on your watch list?
Well. I feel like I consume Disney
plus content way different than you guys.
I'm probably have the attention span of a toddler because I'm
watching the Aristocats on repeat.
It's like my trauma movie. If I have a bad day at work,
we're we're falling asleep to Aristocats.
And then I probably watch Muppets Christmas Carol about 10
times this holiday season. Oh my goodness.
So that's going on there. And I've definitely watched the
Arrows tour probably once a. Week, Paul and I, Paul and I
watched the what was it? The the documentary.
It was really good. Yeah.
So we'll talk about that later. That was it was.
Really interesting it was before they.
Took him away at Hollywood studios.
She did see it, yes. She went like right before.
Oh yeah, the costumes and stuff. Yeah, that.
Was a priority and I went without Bill for his request.
Alina also went. You went to Nashville, right?
For the display you did. Yes.
Yeah. Tell your bean story.
What? Tell your bean story.
Yeah. So I was lucky enough to go to
one of the era's tour concerts in Los Angeles and I was on the
floor and her mom and dad were in their like private booth or
whatever, their private tent and someone said that they were
there. So I, I, I'd made 250 friendship
bracelets to trade at the shows. And I made that maybe there
would be a hint of my idea that I might meet someone who could
give her some bracelets. I made one for each of her cats.
And so when I saw her mom, I gave her the cat bracelets.
And then a couple months later there was a news article that
came out that at the Country Music Hall of Fame, they did a
friendship bracelet display. And as the nosy Italian that I
am, I like sleuthed in on all the pictures and I saw my cat
bracelets, all three of them. And luckily they they had like a
cat charm on each one. So they were rather noticeable
compared to the other bracelets. And I was like, someday I got to
go see him in person and that happened.
You were. Oh my.
Gosh, so it was an exhibit, like a Taylor Swift exhibit?
Yeah. They she there's like a Taylor
Swift music something Education Center and it's just like a
little it's it's not any like you kind of got to go like
around the corner to see this display.
But I don't know, it just felt special.
Now in my 3 Truths and a lie, I can say that I'm in the Country
Music Hall of Fame. So.
Something I made is in the country hall.
That is so cool though. Your bracelet that you gave, you
gave it to her mom and it's now on display.
That's so cool. Yeah, I was just reading my
favorite book. Sorry, that's.
The first time that Derek heard about Taylor Swift, that's what
he went out and bought so that he would understand who she was.
No, Derek knows more than I do, so I'll give him prize, all
right? Why do you have that, Derek?
Because my brother bought it for me for like a Christmas present
type type gag and and I love. Him, Pauline, what's our next
question of the night? All right.
Next question, If you could launch any merch line for an IP,
what would it be and what kind of products would you include?
Oh my gosh, that's a tough one because I've always had ideas
and now I don't. It's like as soon as you need
them, they're gone. I'll tell.
You I've always wanted to see the gladiator sandals that it's
it's pain or panic wears in Hercules.
They're so fun. They're like bright colors.
I feel like those would fly off the shelves.
That's. A good one.
OK Oh my gosh, I always wanted more resort specific stuff, but
they're starting to do that. They are starting to happen I.
I would say like our trip, this trip, you know, it's been a
we've, we've been going a while and we used to be merch
hoarders. Let's be honest, we we've, we've
pulled back. But this past trip and I've been
like, oh, everything's really good now.
Like I I can't say no to some of this stuff.
I do wish just from a resort perspective, not my answer, but
I do wish they would update some of the merch that they've had
historically online related to like home resorts because a lot
of that's been customizable where you can like say member
since, you know, 2020 or you know, whatever, whatever that
year might be. And they don't have any of the
newer resorts though. Like it ends like right before
Riviera, I feel like. Or yeah, it does.
Like in the last resort. Or something.
Yeah. But like that needs updated or
at least add the new resorts to it because I think it was just
such a cool line to to have that customized ability to really
celebrate when you became a member.
I, I want to see, we are starting to see more resort
specific stuff. So at Old Key West we were just
there for the marathon. They had Old Key West ears, they
had like sweatshirts and things like that.
I would like to see resort specific spirit jerseys.
So you know, a spirit jersey with some kind of like resort
emblem and then on the back it says like Grand Floridian Villa
or Villa's at Grand Floridian and Animal Kingdom Villas and
Riviera Resort. Like it's got like the whole,
you know what I mean? Owner, owner.
Yes, owner. Yeah.
Like something cool like that. So you know what I mean, just
like pride in in your home resort.
So. That's a hard one.
That's like the the first thing that comes to my mind is what I
would want to see stop immediately is stop at the Epcot
festivals. Stop using Figment.
I have a solution it. Makes me, it makes me mental
when I saw it like, hey, it's the first day of the Festival of
the Arts and then they show all the merchandise, all the
vloggers. I'm like, my God, here we go
again. It's figment with a paintbrush.
Or then, then it's food and wine.
It's figment with a glass of wine or it's figment, you know,
building a dandelion farm. It's just.
I'm. So done with figments.
So that's that's. My there is no one in this world
that hates figment on the same level as Derek as Pauline's
husband Phil Phil is next level when it comes to his hatred of
figment. And so Pauline and Phil were
recently at the Festival of the Arts and of course there was a
magic shot. You never know what's going to
happen with a magic shot. And we are connected in my
Disney experience. So I do get to see all of the
lovely photos that come up. And this gem, I immediately sent
this gem to Phil because First off, it's figment.
But Phil's face like. You pulled that off so fast too.
I don't know what's more because I.
Just sent it. I just sent it to Phil the other
day and and he sent some explicitives back to me because
I sent it to him so quickly. But the joy that is on Phil's
face in this? Moment because because he has.
No idea that Figment is just, you know, sprinkling him with
rainbow Pixie dust here it just. He was like, that's going to be
figment, isn't it? I'm like probably.
That's. Amazing.
Oh my gosh, I it's like Figment a great deal.
And when we had our friends here, what was Amy's daughter
and our other friend, we brought them to Figment because
everybody needs to be violated once off by that route.
So we're talking it up like it was the best ride ever.
And it was only a 5 minute wait. And we got to the front and they
got on 1st and then we turned around and walked out and waved
at them as we ran back down the. The.
First thing he said when he got off, we were waiting for him at
the exit and they're like, well, I can't say what he actually
said, but it was what was that? I'm stealing that tactic for new
new people to be. On and they're just like, Oh
yeah, I'm not actually writing after they're all locked in.
That's so. Good.
I think we did totally. Agree about the the merch
though. At Festival of the Arts, like in
other festivals, there's like a series of themes, like why there
are artists, Like Rapunzel's an artist, you know, Toulouse is an
artist. Like they're artists,
characters. What?
Why is Figment the only star? Yeah, don't.
Musician, musician, you know, Current is an artist and yeah,
so yeah, there's. I feel very passionate about
this. Derek.
We need to start a campaign to transform farts.
I will. I will sign up.
Give me the petition, I'll be the first one to sign I think if
I I have two actually that came to mind for this question.
The first one is I know Disney does Legos really well as you
can see my Lego castle behind me but I wish they would do more
park specific stuff. Really the castle is the only
thing I have in the small like Haunted Mansion.
But like they've gone all in on like maps and and architecture
type. Seeing a skyline with the tree
and the four icons or a map of the parks or something like that
I think would be really cool. Just some more park specific
Legos. Yeah.
And also I wish they kind of did for a minute.
When I was up at IKEA weeks ago, they had some Stitch stuff that
was like IKEA adjacent, mostly decoration.
But like give me a desk with Mickey on it or or something for
my office that actually is a piece of furniture that you
know, isn't a billion dollars. Like you know, Walt's desk that
he actually drew on. Like I just want Disney specific
furniture that is reasonably priced.
Put it on Wayfair. I don't care.
Something cheap but awesome, yeah.
I, I was trying to think to like what are things that I enjoy
buying or like what are things that I use the most because
that's what I'm always like thinking of when it comes to
merch that I like to buy. So I love to buy like coffee
mugs, which of course they do a resort series of coffee mugs,
but they don't do every home resort.
It's like only a select group of home resorts that they did and
each. I feel like each gift shop only
got 4. To, to sell, but like for me,
maybe I, I go to like the kitchen.
So like how, how do you inject like more kitchen related or
themed merchandise that maybe could be themed to your home
resort? Like I feel like we keep coming
back to, you know, DVC merch, but it's because it's such a
underutilized area where they could make like if you could, I
used to I would. I don't know that I'd buy it,
but I used to love like the the triangle orange plates that were
at Bay Lake Tower. That's that's that resort over
by the contemporary Derek. But they had the triangle orange
plates for the longest time there.
And yeah. They just now cool.
Things that are like just yeah to each property.
Oh, I've. I've got one more when you were
talking it remind me of it. They need to go all in on
replicas of the doormats. So the doormats when you first
walk like the big mats when you first walk into the resort, it's
like Animal Kingdom Lodge. You know what I mean?
Grand Floridian like make like personal like versions for
someone's house. Yep, and people would buy those.
Cool idea. Yeah, it would be great.
Good idea. Even like a desk set.
Back in the 90s and early 2000s, they used to have these
coordinating desk sets that was like your your stapler and your
tape holder and your. Yes, you know.
Yeah. And I had a Steamboat wheelie
one. And this is like the last piece
left like. I.
Refuse to get rid of it 'cause it's so cool, but like it was a
whole collection that looked so cool on your desk that I would
love something like that back. I.
Think wasn't wasn't one of those things, Jeff, like a like a
Mickey stapler and it had like his, his like hand was at the
end of the stapler and stuff. Yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I remember that, Jeff. I love that your desk holder
includes a toothbrush. You never know.
You just never know what you're going to need.
He's always prepared. That's.
Actually to clean out like the ports on my phone and iPad when
they get gunky. OK, dual use.
Brush my teeth with that particular one.
Probably what's yours. What's my merch?
Yeah, I think. I think the Hercules you did.
Say that I forgot you said that, I'll add 1.
More because I feel like this is a Disney adjacent, maybe a
Disney Princess. I can't.
I don't know if it's official yet, but I love Anastasia.
I want her music box that opens up with a little necklace.
Yeah. They need to lean in on that
merch. Where's the little bat Stuffy?
What's the bat's name? I can never remember.
Oh my. Gosh, those what's hello.
Oh my God. Pauline, what's our?
Next question of the night. Our next question is what is a
ride in Disney World which has holiday overlay and what would
the overlay be? And when I say holiday overlay,
it doesn't necessarily have to be like Christmas.
You could do Halloween or another holiday, I guess.
Man, these are good questions. These are really good questions,
these. Are some thinkers tonight?
OK. We don't go this deep normally.
Sorry, no, this is the easy questions have been asked though
I feel like. Yeah.
I love this I I because I do feel like Walt Disney World
doesn't get the overlays like Disneyland does.
And I would love to see something with as much effort
behind it right as we see when we look at like Haunted Mansion
holiday and small world Holiday. So I'm trying to think like
what? What ride here would benefit
from something like that? Do any holiday overload to
figments right? I don't care.
What the hell. It could be.
Labor Day, 4th of July. Boxing Day.
Kind of on on along the lines of what Pauline said at the
beginning of the show. I think our Haunted Mansion
should get a Christmas overlay, but they already do that.
Nightmare Before Christmas in Disneyland.
Let them have that. Let's do Muppet Christmas Carol.
Yes, haunted. Mansion.
Oh. My gosh.
Amazing, right? I'm all for it.
Yes, that would be cool I. Don't know that I was I my head
was like Haunted Mansion would be the perfect place for this.
I was going a completely different direction though, and
it's something that I know Disney would never do, but like
really have like a haunted house like experience.
So like what if you brought in some live like character actors
into Haunted Mansion during Halloween?
Maybe some jump scares or something as the doom buggy like
rounds a certain turn and like people jump out behind a certain
door or something or maybe. After a certain time of day so
the kids can still ride it during the day.
It'll keep Phil from haunted. Haunted Mansion after dark,
yeah. I also.
Thought of. A.
Villains overlay for Tower of Terror just for Halloween.
Cool. Oh.
I know I'm trying to think of like, I, I do the.
So go ahead, Derek. Oh.
No no no I I just keep thinking of one ride that would be amazed
but I just can't figure out the right overlay to it.
So in the comments please let me know.
But to do something with Spaceship Earth just in its
current incarnation, like Jeff said, you know, have like live
actors in whatever, right? But like, could you imagine
mixing live actors in certain scenes in spaceship parts would
be like the greatest thing ever. Like if you pass by that guy
that fell asleep doing the book, you know, he's going like this,
you know, and then all of a sudden his head goes up or
something like that and just freaks people out.
So yeah, some kind of a overlap. But you can't do Christmas
because, you know, I, I, I don't know.
But something with Spaceship Earth would be really, really
cool with live actors one. That seems one that seems
reasonable and doable. That came to mind for me is when
we were in Disneyland for the 70th anniversary last year, we
rode the Toy Story Mania and they had an overlay for the
70th. So like all of the different
scenes had little 70th logos in them.
And it seems very simple digitally where they could just
make like a Halloween version. And so like, as you're, you
know, instead of like blowing up plates, you're blowing up
pumpkins or and. Then for.
Christmas, like there's Christmas cookies and you're
throwing icing at them. I don't know like.
Yeah, no, that's a great idea it.
Just makes the IT makes it more fun and it makes it more
rewriting, which I think right is that ride is getting stale a
little bit. It feels like Yeah, yeah.
That's a good one. That's the winner Eric wants do.
You remember back when they used to do Who Wants to Be a
Millionaire at Hollywood Studios?
And then it was American Idol for a while.
Derek's waiting for his shot at after the final rose from The
Bachelor. Like he just wants to be Paulo
and stage and. A Bachelor stage show?
Yeah, that'd be great. Twice.
At the time, Paul. I'm with you.
We need like a crowd eater almost for these overlays.
So I think Mickey's Philharmagic could be a really cool one with
like holiday music and, you know, the smell.
Yeah, that would be a fun one to and that would.
Be an easy one to do too, yeah? It's it's the same thing as like
Millennium Falcon smugglers run like I think all of us are kind
of like, why did it take this long to get another one?
Yeah, right. Like especially at the pace that
you turned out like Star Tours overlays like or new new
experiences OnStar tours. So like, I don't know.
I would like to see the people mover get like holiday.
So instead of all these like really long dark passages where
you can't see, you know, your hand in front of your face, like
light that up, you know, put some some Christmas lights in
there. Run it at the same time that
they run they the overlight in Space Mountain.
Then you can have the music, you know, and the lights and so
something like that where? Are those Osborne lights?
I know they're in, people they're in.
Storage somewhere. They're right next to The Dirty
pillows. Next question of the night,
Pauline. All right, what is 1 DVC room
you'll never book again? That's a good one.
God. I have mine.
It's going to be controversial in this group, but I cannot
stand the door chaos that is in the boardwalk and the beach club
one bedroom. What?
Who designed that it's. Also it's it's also Saratoga and
Boulder Ridge like, yeah, so they're all kind of the same
strange layout. Yeah.
That I can see where that's it's like roulette, like is there
going to be someone on the toilet?
Is there going to be a closet? Like what am I getting?
And like why is the tub area open to the like?
Can we have a door please? That's a good one before.
I got mine. I got mine.
I'm going to say, and it's not because I don't love it, but I'm
saying I personally will never, ever, ever book it.
And that is a studio at Vero Beach because there's no reason
to book a studio at Bureau Beat when you can book an in room and
the in room is huge. In room has two dedicated beds.
An in room still has the microwave.
It has the little tiny refrigerator.
It's in the main building. There's just no reason to book a
studio. So that one I can tell you right
now, never. I will never do it.
Yeah. That's a good one.
The only reason we would book a studio is if we can't get into
the inn and we want to go. But I agree, the inn room is far
superior at Vero Beach to the deluxe studio.
And all the inn rooms are like dedicated rooms, so you're not
hearing your neighbors through the door, which you can hear the
people in the one bedroom. That's a good one.
Yeah, I I think what Paul was, I know what Paul was going to
start to say. Like when I think about like, Oh
my goodness, I'm never saying here again.
It was most of it was pre refurb.
Like we had a really crappy Boulder Ridge before the refurb,
but it's a lot better now. Same when.
We did the two-bedroom at Animal Kingdom Lodge.
That was one, I'll say one that could be controversial.
I would there is only one of these that I would ever book
again, which would be Riviera, but a duo, duo or tower studio.
I in the the design at both Disneyland Hotel and the design
at the Polynesian Island Tower. Both of those I just feel like
you lose more than it's worth. And so I'll spend the extra
points for the deluxe studio rather than just be cramped in
that very, very tiny space. And the only thing that makes,
you know, Riviera stand out is it is just a little bit bigger.
Like there's just a little bit more.
Like the bathrooms are huge in those Riviera Tower studios.
Yeah. So like you do have a you're.
Guaranteed a balcony in the Riviera ones, whereas not all of
the ones at Disneyland have a balcony too, so that makes it
feel even more like closed in. Yeah, I agree on that.
Yeah, I'm going to talk for. Him.
Jeff. No, he's.
Muted. My dogs and people wanting to
play ball and I'm trying to keep him quiet so.
We're dog. I wish we're dog.
Friendly show here, Jeff. People are used to our nonsense
and noise. This isn't a professional
production by any means. Yeah, for.
Me. It's anything on the first
floor. Yeah, down.
The bottom floor, because when you go out to use your balcony,
which is really just a glorified porch, it doesn't feel like
you're in your own space at that point anymore.
Like you're there with the 17 people on either side of it and
you're like having your morning coffee and saying hello.
And yeah, I, I hate being on the 1st floor.
Only second to that would be if you're right next to the bridge
at Animal Kingdom Lodge. Somebody can jump from that
bridge onto your balcony and get into your room.
And it can happen. Don't recommend that room
either. Yeah.
Jeff, were you the jumper or the person in the room?
Just for clarity, I was. Down at the front desk when my
teenagers called me in a panic saying there's a dude in our
room. For real?
Yeah. Really.
Yeah. It really happened.
Yeah, literally happened. I showed Paul and Amy where it
happened. Security came.
Cops came. It was a whole thing.
What? What was he?
Trying to do get a get a lighter.
He he thought my kids would have a lighter for some reason.
He, he was not celebrating dry January.
Let's say that definitely not. Oh my goodness, no.
Did. We all answer that question, I
think. No, Yeah, Polly.
Did you answer it? Yeah.
Oh, I see. I keep I we talked for so long
on one question that she like when she gives her answer at
first I'm like wait, did she go? All right, Pauline, we have time
for maybe one or two more. So Pixel Man.
How did you even get through? See, she was worried that that I
was worried 11 wouldn't be enough.
I was like, no, we'll touch. Oh no.
Please and then. She has backup questions in case
11 wasn't enough give us. Like the most controversial left
on the left was that. The controversial one?
No. I'm going to do that one next.
Oh my gosh, I don't know what this is.
Buckle. Up it's not OK.
You have been arrested for arson at Disney.
World. I love it so far.
What? Did you just burn down?
Well, I know what Phil burned down.
I know what I know what Phil and Derek burned down together.
Oh my God, it was. A It was a terrible crime scene.
It was fidget at Queen. It was the fart skunk gas just
just blew it right up. Oh my gosh, what did you know
that something I don't like? Phil's backup would be Cake Bake
Shop. Oh.
I love cake bake shop. You love cake bake shop?
I do too. Oh my gosh, I have to say.
Although I I, I don't know, do I actually want to burn it down?
I don't know, but I just saw the new refurbed Little Mermaid show
for the first time and I was very upset.
Oh no. I haven't seen it.
Yet I felt like I was watching animation like graphics from a
1990s video game like did. Did they let an intern do that?
I don't know, Like it was wildly disappointing.
It's too bad. Since, since Phil and Derek
already have Figment pretty well taken care of, I'm going to go
ahead and take my torch to the Tomorrowland Speedway.
Oh, smart, that's. A great.
Choice to make much because it's already that's an.
Easy one. Yeah, gasoline like.
You can smell it. It's ready to go.
You. Just need that lighter that
someone was looking to borrow from you, and you'll be, yeah.
I can't think of anything I dislike that.
Like I I did not like Muppet Vision because I found them to
be creepy, but a lot of people like it so I feel bad saying
that. See, you're going to get torched
in the comments. You're the.
One that she's already so you. Can say so creepy.
That is true. I feel like they're tastes
nicer, bigger nightmare. Fuel, yes.
Derek, you're about that height for Swedens, right?
I have a plan in mind. That's animal.
Swedens is like this right? I have no idea but.
This one hits too close to home too.
Right now I'm going to give a second answer, but I would say
that I was never a huge Dinoland fan.
And so I I'm not emotionally attached to any of that to, to
that ride or to that whole area. So like I'm OK that they got rid
of it. I know Dinoland is going to like
dinosaur is going down. He was cute.
Yeah, he was cute, but then they just took a bulldozer to him
like I would I I always question like it was overnight.
They just didn't even like it was just brutal.
They just destroyed him very quickly.
We a little Gertie. We do, we a little Gertie.
Why didn't they stick them next to that weed smoking dinosaur at
the studio? My other answer was actually
going to be Star Tours. And that is driven by the fact
that it's now currently like landlocked and it just needs to
be moved more than anything. It's it's, it's out of place now
more than ever now that we're starting to transition Star Wars
Galaxy's Edge into God knows what the main idea of it is, But
you know, there's now kind of old and new blended together.
Right. I always thought that was weird
and a missed opportunity because it's not like it's across the
park from Star Wars Galaxy's Edge.
It just seems weird that they didn't just shift everything to
include that riot as part of Galaxy's Edge.
You could have done a whole new pre show and and made it
matched. I don't know it.
Yeah, you're right, Paul, that it is.
It is funky this. Is where I wish the world was
like The Sims and I could just like copy paste move it over.
I. Could just.
I'm glad no one's answer was like anything near the Morocco
or France pavilion, because that was that.
That did try to catch itself on fire very recently.
It's. True.
I forgot about that. My Epcot choice would be Space
220 Oh. My gosh.
Oh my gosh. OK, I didn't even think about
it. Mission space 2 Mission space.
That can go. That can go away.
Those are some fantastic arson choices.
Yeah. Disney, we do not want to burn
down anything. We promise.
Exactly. We love you.
We're gonna we're gonna be the first people called if any don't
even. Light candles if.
Anything happens to that Imagination pavilion, I'm going
to Mexico, the real Mexico. OK, give us one more, Pauline,
just to save us from, you know, ending on an arson topic.
Maybe an easy one. Very.
Assessable. I was nervous about arson but
well, I'm with the DVC focus 1. So what's 1 DVC resort activity
you wish more members took advantage of?
Or maybe avoid it so it stays, you know, underrated.
So. I'll, I'll say one of my
absolute favorite things is all of the little cozy pockets to
have your morning coffee. I know a lot of people love to
have their morning coffee out on the balcony, but I also love
taking some days and having morning coffee, like at
Wilderness Lodge, going down by the fireplaces in the lobby, or
on the other landings at the Riviera.
There's kind of those outside areas.
There's all these little nooks and crannies that you can enjoy
no matter what type of room you're staying in.
I mean, I, I, I think, I mean for me there's always, and it's
probably more resort specific per SE, but it's at like Vero
Beach that obviously all the hype is the beach and you know,
they have a great pool and they have a great water slide.
But I swear to God, for like the last like almost 20 years, the
best memories that we have playing mini golf and
shuffleboard, like those things and getting board games, like
just getting board games. So in case you don't have that,
you know, gradable weather, you know, and that goes for Disney
World too. You can obviously do that.
But I think at Vero, it's, you know, we love it when it's sunny
and it's beautiful out to go enjoy the beach.
Obviously that's fantastic and beach walks.
But yeah, it's doing stuff like shuffleboard and mini golf that
the no trip would be complete unless we did both of those at
least like 78 times. And it's just funny.
Great memories because it doesn't involve and that again,
that's what goes back to being ADVC member is, you know, not
your best memories. I guarantee that you have as a
member don't involve riding pirates or Haunted Mansion for
the 84 thousandth time. It's do you remember when we
found the Pauline's secret nook and cranny and we had coffee
there or when we played shuffleboard like Derek told me
when we went to Vera beats? It's those things or what you as
a member are going to enjoy the mug because the rides are rides
are always going to be there. You know, the rides don't don't
change. We know that.
But what does change is you and your kids getting older and go,
God, now I'm going to cry. All right, goodbye.
All right, I'll save you Dare on his.
Point if you find Pauline in one of the nooks and crannies in the
morning drinking coffee. She'll have a Taylor Sweet
friendship bracelet for you, it sounds like.
Yes, I I did not make any of this trip and I was very
disappointed in myself. What was?
Was Phil wearing one the other day though?
Was Phil wearing like a Polynesian?
Yes. I did make him one and it says
tiki room on it and he wears it all the time.
That's his I saw it on. His wrist, it's not like a bead
one. It's like shells and stuff
that's. So cool, I saw.
It and I was like, Pauline had to have made that like a. 100%
Phil wasn't in leaving beads together.
Hey. You don't know he's, he's a
changed man these days. He you have to put it on the
screen again. There he is.
I think he's wearing. It maybe in that photo.
Is it down by his magic band there?
Yes. I think it is.
I think he's right under the magic band there you.
Go. Yeah, he's going to kill me when
he listens to this show and. Pauline's shirt is perfect for
that Photo, by the way, That. Was.
The last minute purchase. Oh my.
Goodness. I will say that I love things
that highlight the resort and the theme of a resort and what
the resort is about. And I feel like we've lost some
of these over the years because members really haven't taken
advantage of them. And this is also my answer to
another show topic that we're going to do in a coming week.
But take advantage of a resort day and experience what makes a
resort special. The place that tried to do it
the most was Copper Creek and Wilderness Lodge.
Luckily, we still have one of those events there, which is
tasteful artistry. And I was.
Thinking about that, yeah. Me, Amy and my mom, we were able
to do that last year and it was a wonderful experience.
You got to taste different food bites from the resort, but also
do a fun crafts project. I know that over at Wilderness
Lodge, also at Reunion Station, they used to do some beverage
classes, maybe like a wine tasting.
We've lost some of these things because members didn't take
advantage of them. Now, you could argue that it was
priced too high and that's why members didn't take advantage of
them. But I just wonder, like, how
cool would it be to have something that was a nod to each
resort that did that? And I'll take it a step further
and say I would love that. Maybe once a month or once a
week, there was like a resort history tour or a resort history
class where you could learn about the history of Old Key
West or learn about the history of Boardwalk, whatever resort it
is, and learn about why it's themed the way it is and the
nods to everything, like walking through it.
I just think there's that that information is out there.
But it would just be so cool to like attend one of those tours
and I'd pay 50 bucks for it or whatever it might be to go on
one. Yeah, I love that.
And that's kind of where I went in my head too.
Or some of these resort specific things that people either don't
take advantage of or they kind of went away.
You know, you guys did Sangria University at Coronado, but you
could do something like that at just about any resort.
Yeah, when? We dated the cabins.
Wilderness and we went over and did that Weird.
Make your own glass for Skittles or whatever it was.
To. Do and that we probably weren't
the target demographic for that particular activity, but stuff
like that that is specific to each resort.
So as you around, as you do your split says, as you do some of
those things, it really does kind of give it a little bit of
a homie feel and something special.
I, I would like to see more, more things like, like you said,
I know I keep going back to over at Coronado Springs, it's not a
DVC resort, but they do those like mosaic, you can make like
those tile mosaic things and that's very on brand with, with
the style of the resort. So I would love to see, you
know, more people doing things like that at, you know,
Polynesian and Grand Prairie and things that match to, you know,
you make your own little something to take home.
That goes with the theme of the resort, Derek.
What do you think they would do like art wise like that at Bay
Lake tower? Just like make a concrete brick
or you know. I was just thinking, could you
imagine doing like a like a boardwalk tour and then they
could take people and go and this space used to be Jelly
rolls, this empty space used to be big, this empty space.
Used to be the art gallery. I'm telling you, 2026, I predict
in the next 6 months, I'm not going to derail.
I think that's when we're going to find out what's coming to the
Boardwalk. I think we're going to find it
in the next 6 months. What's going to find?
Out the show by saying that we're going to be mugged in a
back alley that they're going to build in between the buildings.
So there you have it. Or it's going to burn down
because one of us caught it on fire.
So there you go. Well, Pauline, this was a joy.
Thank you so much for your random questions.
Thanks for joining us, joining us for the show.
Pauline's going to be with us for the next couple of shows, so
definitely stay tuned for that. Maybe if we if our if our topics
get boring, we'll have we'll have her pepper in other, other
questions since she has enough for an entire other show for us.
But that is going to do it for this week's episode of the DVC
show. Does anyone else want to sing
before I sign this off? No.
No, OK, we'll see you next Monday.
