How do I change that? 52 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:48,000 Because there's some things I want to say about Jeff. 53 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:50,880 Where do I go? On We don't give you that much 54 00:02:50,880 --> 00:02:53,200 power. You already derailed us from the 55 00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:55,200 beginning of this show and I still don't understand what we 56 00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,560 were talking about, but yet here we are and we hope that you 57 00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:05,000 enjoy joining us for all the craziness that we come up with. 58 00:03:05,640 --> 00:03:08,600 I also want to just throw out that when we do those cold 59 00:03:08,600 --> 00:03:12,480 openings, it's literally like a 5 minute pause right before we 60 00:03:12,480 --> 00:03:15,360 go into the show so none of us have really recovered from what 61 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:18,680 just happened. Amy is either frozen or stunned 62 00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:20,800 based off of the expression on her face. 63 00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,760 Just hungry. Just hungry. 64 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,840 Oh, it's it's way too early to be hungry. 65 00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,040 We got another show after this one. 66 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:33,000 So no, no hunger pains. Sometimes when Derek starts 67 00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,880 talking, I immediately look for my parachute just in case I need 68 00:03:35,880 --> 00:03:40,160 to get out in a hurry. And some reason you're still 69 00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:45,120 there, I know. Go 'cause you're honorable. 70 00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,160 Well, Jeff, you're going to be happy that you stuck around this 71 00:03:48,160 --> 00:03:50,960 week because you're do we're doing the one thing that you 72 00:03:50,960 --> 00:03:57,000 claim we never do, which is Part 2 of our best of Disney and DVC 73 00:03:57,000 --> 00:03:59,080 show.

I love the shrimp that's in that 190 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:17,960 one tank. He's always by himself. 191 00:10:17,960 --> 00:10:21,120 He's just like he's in timeout. Just one shrimp in the tank. 192 00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,840 Just kudos to you, Mr. Shrimp. That's why I come and ride that 193 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,840 ride all the time. I, I, I do love, I just love the 194 00:10:27,840 --> 00:10:32,360 peacefulness of the ride. I do love the, the idea that a 195 00:10:32,360 --> 00:10:34,320 lot of these things are grown there now. 196 00:10:34,760 --> 00:10:38,000 I don't buy the idea of like, oh, we're using this ingredient 197 00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:39,400 in these food booths. No, you're not. 198 00:10:39,400 --> 00:10:43,040 You're making 7000 of that food a day and you've got 2 corn 199 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,640 stalks in the middle of this greenhouse that I don't, I'm not 200 00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,360 buying that one anymore. But I, I will also just give a 201 00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:54,160 shout out to the Behind the Seeds tour that they do there. 202 00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,760 It is probably one of the cheapest behind the scenes 203 00:10:56,880 --> 00:10:59,280 opportunities that you can do at Walt Disney World. 204 00:10:59,560 --> 00:11:01,360 And I do think it's cool just to walk through there. 205 00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:05,440 And at least the last time we did it, you did did get to try a 206 00:11:05,440 --> 00:11:08,720 cucumber. So I was before the cucumber 207 00:11:08,720 --> 00:11:11,080 debacle though. So I don't know if they still do 208 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:13,600 that on that tour, but you got a little piece of a cucumber. 209 00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,720 And the glimmering greenhouses and the. 210 00:11:16,720 --> 00:11:18,920 It is the best at. Christmas it is the best. 211 00:11:18,920 --> 00:11:21,360 Christmas is it is. Cool, you have to ride it at 212 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:23,560 night. Speaking of the best, at 213 00:11:23,560 --> 00:11:26,040 Christmas, the boat ride that I would pick because I knew you 214 00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:29,280 would pick living with the land is Small World at Disneyland. 215 00:11:30,200 --> 00:11:35,360 I love it has the best facade. They light up at Christmas like 216 00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:37,760 you wouldn't believe. And then the just the small 217 00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:41,640 world holiday inside all the Christmas lights. 218 00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,360 It's just so pretty. And one of the things also, and 219 00:11:44,360 --> 00:11:46,960 the reason I like that one better than the one we have 220 00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:51,040 here, besides the exterior, is that they have a lot of the 221 00:11:51,040 --> 00:11:55,160 little characters hidden throughout, you know, in their 222 00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:57,440 like place of origin where they belong. 223 00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,040 And I always like to go through and try to guess the country 224 00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:02,080 because some of them are really obvious and some of them are 225 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:05,040 more difficult. I think so, yeah. 226 00:12:05,360 --> 00:12:08,720 In in their place of origin, where they belong. 227 00:12:10,320 --> 00:12:12,680 Ariel, don't be coming over to the western area. 228 00:12:12,840 --> 00:12:14,960 You belong in the sea. Stay there. 229 00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:16,800 Absolutely. Yeah. 230 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:19,320 Amy Kay and I did that on our trip to Disneyland. 231 00:12:19,320 --> 00:12:20,640 That was fun. We were trying to figure out 232 00:12:20,760 --> 00:12:21,640 which one was. Which? 233 00:12:21,880 --> 00:12:23,400 Some of them are really hard though. 234 00:12:23,640 --> 00:12:26,360 Panda, you were Team Pirates as well here on the boat ride. 235 00:12:27,200 --> 00:12:29,600 Yeah, and there and I completely, but there's a reason 236 00:12:29,600 --> 00:12:31,200 for it. I just thought of the boat ride 237 00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:33,600 itself. It does start off nice and calm. 238 00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:37,520 You go through a lot of smells and sounds, then you get the 239 00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:40,560 hill and then you're in the middle of this fight with the 240 00:12:40,560 --> 00:12:43,960 explosions around you. I kind of like that it evolves 241 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,520 and that boat ride to me just seems to be the best of the. 242 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,680 Best wait, what are the smells must. 243 00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:53,080 Yeah, yeah, yeah. The, the, the bleachy sulphury, 244 00:12:53,120 --> 00:12:56,560 bad water smell, Yeah. Now the mildew, the mold and the 245 00:12:56,560 --> 00:13:00,120 mildew is part of it. Since Amy pulled Disneyland into 246 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,280 this conversation, are we talking Pirates Disneyland or 247 00:13:03,280 --> 00:13:05,240 Pirates Disneyland? Pirates. 248 00:13:05,280 --> 00:13:09,120 Disneyland wins much more, yeah. For sure. 249 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,920 Good answer. Good answer, Derek, what's 250 00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:13,240 yours? The boat ride to get to your car 251 00:13:13,240 --> 00:13:16,680 on the way home. No, I would say easily. 252 00:13:16,680 --> 00:13:19,360 It's got to be pirates. I mean, it's a no brainer. 253 00:13:19,360 --> 00:13:21,880 And the fact that I'm still shaking with anger that you 254 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:27,440 think going through like a grocery store produce anywhere 255 00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:30,480 even close to one of the most iconic rides that Disney has 256 00:13:30,480 --> 00:13:32,200 ever built. I don't care what coast you see 257 00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:33,960 it on. I've only seen it on the East 258 00:13:33,960 --> 00:13:34,840 Coast. So that's it. 259 00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,200 But yeah, it's Pirates. It's a no brainer. 260 00:13:37,200 --> 00:13:39,640 It's got a great queue. It's got, it's one of those 261 00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,760 things where if you go to the Magic Kingdom, you feel like, 262 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,120 like, for me, it's like spaceship Earth. 263 00:13:44,120 --> 00:13:46,400 Like I can't go to that park without doing that ride. 264 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,080 I feel like you have to go on Pirates. 265 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,320 And it's still that little bit of like, I don't know, like 266 00:13:51,400 --> 00:13:53,960 excitement, you know, it's like you get on it and you're like 267 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,240 this and then you forget how big is this hill? 268 00:13:56,360 --> 00:13:58,120 Is it like a big hill or a tiny hill? 269 00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,760 And you come down and go around the corner and again, all the 270 00:14:01,080 --> 00:14:04,600 smells and the sights and the firings and the shoot, it's just 271 00:14:04,600 --> 00:14:06,640 really, really cool. It's, yeah, it's, it's an 272 00:14:06,640 --> 00:14:09,880 iconic, an absolute no brainer. Followed by a close second, 273 00:14:09,920 --> 00:14:14,560 which would be the Mexico Boat Ride, simply for nostalgia 274 00:14:14,560 --> 00:14:18,920 purposes of my first ride, you know what I mean? 275 00:14:18,920 --> 00:14:22,640 And it's one of those where I know the ride has a name, but I 276 00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,200 think for everybody it's known as the Mexico Boat Ride. 277 00:14:26,520 --> 00:14:27,480 So whatever the. Name. 278 00:14:27,560 --> 00:14:29,280 I call it Mexican. It's a small world. 279 00:14:31,360 --> 00:14:33,680 Our COO Drew calls it the Secret Ride. 280 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,800 When we do our company retreats, he says, do you want to go do 281 00:14:37,800 --> 00:14:40,920 the Secret Ride? And it's a secret because it's 282 00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:44,240 in, it's kind of buried back in the Mexico pavilion. 283 00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:46,720 But it's also a secret because anyone that goes with him on 284 00:14:46,720 --> 00:14:51,440 Secret Ride gets a Margarita. And so that's the best part of 285 00:14:51,560 --> 00:14:53,200 Secret Ride. So so. 286 00:14:53,200 --> 00:14:55,800 The boat in front of me, the boat in front of me had too many 287 00:14:55,800 --> 00:14:57,640 tequilas. And do you know where they're 288 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,440 using Donald as a pinata and he's hanging there? 289 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,080 I heard them in the boat in front. 290 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:03,960 Oh my God, they're hanging Donald. 291 00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:09,280 And it was pretty funny. I will say that the smells are 292 00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:11,520 arguably better on the Mexican boat Rush. 293 00:15:12,640 --> 00:15:15,920 It smells like tacos in there. Because you got the restaurant. 294 00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:19,120 Yeah, I it does. I don't. 295 00:15:19,120 --> 00:15:20,560 Think that's the reason? You're smell. 296 00:15:20,920 --> 00:15:23,320 I feel like that's equal. That's an equal smell. 297 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:26,000 I love the smell of Mexican food in the morning. 298 00:15:28,680 --> 00:15:31,520 All I've been thinking about since since Derek called living 299 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,840 with the land like a grocery store is like, could you imagine 300 00:15:34,840 --> 00:15:37,280 just like going through there and like doing your shopping as 301 00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:40,440 the boats going through and like I'll take I'll take a banana. 302 00:15:40,520 --> 00:15:43,160 I can't believe nobody, nobody picked Tiana's. 303 00:15:44,040 --> 00:15:46,360 No. Oh I don't think of that as a 304 00:15:46,360 --> 00:15:48,680 boat ride cuz. It's so you're in a boat. 305 00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:52,680 It literally is in a boat. I honestly thought that I 306 00:15:52,680 --> 00:15:55,200 thought Amy K was gonna pick Frozen because I've seen her 307 00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:57,480 ride that ride and the joy that that brings to her. 308 00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:02,440 I hate when it gets me wet. And the Jungle Cruise we didn't 309 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,960 even pick, but that would have been my second. 310 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:10,800 Oh boy, that that Carmudgeon that left you show 1. 311 00:16:11,160 --> 00:16:14,040 In Disneyland, ask Paul how much he loved that line. 312 00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:18,160 We were, we were on the other. I was actually pin trading with 313 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,960 the other Jeff and I got a text. Did you text me? 314 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,600 I think you texted me and said come back to Jungle Cruise and 315 00:16:25,600 --> 00:16:29,920 immediately at that point I should have just said no because 316 00:16:30,120 --> 00:16:33,520 in my head I was like, why come back to Jungle Cruise? 317 00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:37,600 Like honestly, Jeff, the main reason I came back is because I 318 00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:39,840 thought that maybe there was a fan of the show that wanted to 319 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,280 meet us or someone was there that you ran into. 320 00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,240 No, no, no, no, you wanted to ride that rod. 321 00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:47,960 Like that was the decision that was made. 322 00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,200 We cancelled a fat, we cancelled a a lightning lane to ride that 323 00:16:52,200 --> 00:16:52,960 rod. No, we. 324 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,480 No. No, no. 325 00:16:53,760 --> 00:16:56,520 Yes, we did. Amy Templeton wanted to ride 326 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,840 that ride and she advised me to text everybody. 327 00:16:59,840 --> 00:17:01,320 I'm not taking the blame for this one. 328 00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:04,680 OK, not to get completely off the rails, but there was this 329 00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:08,640 goofy, there was this op-ed. It was just basically like an 330 00:17:08,640 --> 00:17:12,200 editorial article from some Orlando based news station. 331 00:17:12,200 --> 00:17:16,160 It was on Facebook today and it was like the 10 most miserable 332 00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:19,319 places in Orlando. Did you see it? 333 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,520 OK, totally stop. Did you see that? 334 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,280 The line, The line in Jungle Cruise is one of them. 335 00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:26,160 And I was like, Yep. And then it was like the parking 336 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:27,760 lot at Trader Joe's in Winter Park. 337 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:31,000 I was like, Yep. Can't wait to go there next 338 00:17:31,000 --> 00:17:33,320 week. One of them was right on the 339 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:37,000 mark that. That parking lot Winter Park is 340 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:41,160 crazy. So Jungle Cruise Line was one of 341 00:17:41,160 --> 00:17:43,120 the one of them. So that was pretty funny. 342 00:17:43,120 --> 00:17:45,240 All right, all right, that was all I got. 343 00:17:45,840 --> 00:17:49,680 What's next? So the next is, of course, the 344 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:53,480 best Mexican food. That's a good Segway. 345 00:17:53,520 --> 00:17:56,680 We're just talking about that. We're professionals at at 346 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:59,480 Segwaying. I think there's one option here 347 00:17:59,840 --> 00:18:02,120 on property at Disney but I want to know. 348 00:18:02,120 --> 00:18:04,200 Well, Jeff hates Mexican food, so his opinion? 349 00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:06,760 I'll go first because I don't like Mexican food, so I want to 350 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,480 say the Margarita stand in Mexico. 351 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:10,680 Yeah, of course that's a good pick. 352 00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:15,880 That is like, I mean they have solid if they did more small 353 00:18:15,880 --> 00:18:19,720 bites, I think that would be a knockout hit because the 354 00:18:19,720 --> 00:18:22,720 margaritas are arguably then you're not going to get a top 355 00:18:22,720 --> 00:18:25,520 shelf Margarita there like you would at Cava. 356 00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:27,960 But they're good. They're not bad. 357 00:18:27,960 --> 00:18:30,640 Which? Which Which Margarita place are 358 00:18:30,680 --> 00:18:32,760 you talking? About he's talking about chosa. 359 00:18:32,840 --> 00:18:33,720 Chosa. Yeah, it's. 360 00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:34,840 Not is that. Much. 361 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:39,400 Before you go in the building like outside across from the 362 00:18:39,400 --> 00:18:42,200 quick service. Those things that are like been 363 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:44,400 sitting in those machines like for 8 days. 364 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,880 OK, I wouldn't get the machine one. 365 00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:48,880 I typically get one on the rocks, but. 366 00:18:49,640 --> 00:18:52,880 OK, just go inside to la Cava. I mean, what are you doing? 367 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:56,160 Get a real I don't want to wait 17 hours for a Margarita. 368 00:18:56,160 --> 00:18:57,520 I want to be on to the next drink. 369 00:18:58,600 --> 00:19:02,040 Derek, what's your favorite? So I know what everyone's going 370 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,840 to say, and it's a place that I've never been before and I 371 00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,360 have to look up the name because I hear that everyone says it's 372 00:19:07,360 --> 00:19:10,480 absolutely phenomenal and fantastic. 373 00:19:10,480 --> 00:19:13,480 And now I have to go find where it was here on my list. 374 00:19:13,480 --> 00:19:15,960 So everyone's going to say Rosa Mexicano. 375 00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:19,440 That's what I'm going to say. Never went so I'm just going to 376 00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:22,720 go with the restaurant inside Mexico right by the water with 377 00:19:22,720 --> 00:19:25,240 the tacos wafting and you sit and watch the boats go by. 378 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:28,360 They they made it better for a while. 379 00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:31,880 I mean, it used to be great like years and years and years ago or 380 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:36,640 you used to get quesa fundido that they used to make at like 381 00:19:36,680 --> 00:19:40,040 legit they would come to your table, literally make it and 382 00:19:40,040 --> 00:19:42,720 like do the cutting of the things and fold the tortilla, 383 00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:43,920 doesn't lay them out in front of you. 384 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:48,280 It is hands down my like, you know, death row meal that if I 385 00:19:48,280 --> 00:19:51,120 could go back and have that, they don't do that anymore. 386 00:19:51,120 --> 00:19:53,560 So now they just kind of give you the fundido. 387 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,440 Then for a while they made the tables like 6 inches from each 388 00:19:57,440 --> 00:19:59,720 other and that place was terrible. 389 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:01,880 Like you were on top of the family next to you. 390 00:20:02,280 --> 00:20:05,840 They've seemingly added some separation that at least I've 391 00:20:05,840 --> 00:20:09,240 noticed so people can probably correct me if I'm wrong, but now 392 00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:11,520 it was good. We went there a couple of months 393 00:20:11,520 --> 00:20:14,080 ago for dinner. And I didn't have high 394 00:20:14,080 --> 00:20:18,040 expectations, but I enjoyed it. So in terms of until I get to 395 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,520 Rosa Mexicano, which I know everyone adores, I'm just going 396 00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:22,840 to have to go with the old. Supply. 397 00:20:23,560 --> 00:20:27,440 You're talking about la Hacienda de St. in Hell? 398 00:20:27,440 --> 00:20:30,480 Is that how you pronounce it? Correct me if I'm wrong, but it 399 00:20:30,480 --> 00:20:32,240 is La Ha Santa. Yeah. 400 00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:33,040 Right. OK. 401 00:20:33,320 --> 00:20:34,680 Yeah. We, we've not been there for a 402 00:20:34,680 --> 00:20:36,920 while. I used to love that restaurant. 403 00:20:37,120 --> 00:20:41,080 I I agree that it's not as good as it used to be, but it's been 404 00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:43,760 a while since we've been there, so I'd like to go back and try 405 00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:45,960 it. I do the. 406 00:20:46,040 --> 00:20:48,360 Ambience of that restaurant. It is fun to sit there, but it 407 00:20:48,360 --> 00:20:50,360 kind of reminds me of Blue Bayou, which also doesn't have 408 00:20:50,360 --> 00:20:52,400 good food, but the ambience is is fun. 409 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:56,920 Oh, you're talking about you're talking about the one inside the 410 00:20:57,720 --> 00:21:00,560 the temple, right? Yeah, of course. 411 00:21:00,720 --> 00:21:01,400 Oh, I. Can't. 412 00:21:01,400 --> 00:21:03,760 I don't think the one you, I thought you said buy the water, 413 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:06,560 but I was thinking the one. Right, that's not the one I 414 00:21:06,600 --> 00:21:07,880 want, isn't it? I'm. 415 00:21:07,960 --> 00:21:09,520 Talking about the boat inside you're. 416 00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,440 Talking about the St. in Hell Inn. 417 00:21:11,520 --> 00:21:15,320 OK, yes, the one by the boat. OK, sorry. 418 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:19,400 The one wasn't the 1 outside. Yeah, there is one outside. 419 00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,640 I didn't like that one at all. Oh, that was my. 420 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:25,560 Oh my God, the la cant isn't it La cantina? 421 00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:32,320 La Cantina is the quick service, La Hacanta is the the table 422 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:36,720 service attached to it. Both sit on the seven or seven 423 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,240 seas. Look at you. 424 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,520 No, Oh my goodness. The World Showcase for you. 425 00:21:39,600 --> 00:21:44,040 That that quick service, the barbacoa beef tacos with the 426 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:48,240 beans and the rice is for I. I could eat it every time. 427 00:21:48,240 --> 00:21:51,600 It's great. Yeah, I'm talking about Mexico 428 00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:55,080 boat ride next to the Mexico. So what's funny about those two 429 00:21:55,120 --> 00:21:58,520 is the 2 quick, the two table service ones get mixed up so 430 00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:01,320 much that if you go on Yelp, you'll find pictures of the 431 00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,400 other ones mixed into the reviews because nobody knows 432 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:07,200 which ones which. So yeah, St. 433 00:22:07,200 --> 00:22:11,920 Anhill Inn is inside the Mexico Pavilion next to the boat ride. 434 00:22:11,920 --> 00:22:15,400 La Hacienda is outside near the World Showcase Lagoon. 435 00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:19,840 But it doesn't matter because none of those are nearly as good 436 00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:23,200 as Rosa Mexicana. I think Paul would agree. 437 00:22:23,520 --> 00:22:27,880 Where is Rosa Mexicana? It is inside the Is it the swan 438 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:32,040 or the dolphin? The swan, The swan. 439 00:22:32,200 --> 00:22:33,920 It is in the Swan. Fin. 440 00:22:34,960 --> 00:22:35,920 Pretty sure it's. In the dolphin. 441 00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:38,840 It is. You know, you know, we could 442 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,280 find out easily. Pretty sure it's the dolphin. 443 00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:43,840 And oh look, I think you're right. 444 00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:49,680 What is it called La Rosa? Rosa Mexicana, it is so good 445 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:52,080 there. They do all the things. 446 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:54,200 They have a huge menu. They have a lot of crafted 447 00:22:54,200 --> 00:22:57,520 margaritas. They do tableside guacamole. 448 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,640 It is so the guacamole is the best guacamole I've ever had. 449 00:23:01,440 --> 00:23:03,440 They have a lot of really good dishes. 450 00:23:03,560 --> 00:23:06,400 My favorite things are they have quesadillas. 451 00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:08,160 You can get a shrimp quesadilla, you can get a lobster 452 00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:11,440 quesadilla. So they have just a lot of a lot 453 00:23:11,440 --> 00:23:15,120 of Taco options, a lot of enchilada options, other types 454 00:23:15,120 --> 00:23:17,360 of things. If you're more into like just 455 00:23:17,360 --> 00:23:21,240 like a chicken dish or a steak dish or whatever, it's very 456 00:23:21,240 --> 00:23:23,800 good. Now it is a little pricey, I 457 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,680 guess, but like I guess all of Disney really is and it is 458 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,600 considered a signature, one of the signature restaurants over 459 00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:33,920 there. But every time we've been there, 460 00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:36,640 it's been excellent. My only wish is that they 461 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,560 brought back the trio of enchiladas. 462 00:23:39,320 --> 00:23:43,120 They used to do a trio. One had their traditional sauce, 463 00:23:43,120 --> 00:23:45,920 one had a mole, and one had a Verde sauce on them. 464 00:23:46,520 --> 00:23:49,600 The presentation was beautiful. Now they've only moved down to 465 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:53,000 2, so you have to. It's like choosing if you got 3 466 00:23:53,000 --> 00:23:56,160 kids, choosing your favorite 2. Like I want to try all of them. 467 00:23:56,160 --> 00:23:58,120 I want all three. Please give me all three. 468 00:23:58,680 --> 00:24:03,600 But yeah, that is definitely. Yeah, and then just one quick 469 00:24:03,600 --> 00:24:06,200 nod because we've not gotten the try yet, but a lot of people 470 00:24:06,200 --> 00:24:09,920 have said that Maya girl over at Coronado Springs has been really 471 00:24:09,920 --> 00:24:13,440 good, has been much improved. I really want to try it so it. 472 00:24:13,720 --> 00:24:16,840 Has been getting rave reviews from a lot of people I've never 473 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:19,000 eaten so. No, I'll see that. 474 00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,000 Nosa is the dolphin. The dolphin took a while. 475 00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:24,640 Yeah. All right, moving on. 476 00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,120 I want to skip around a little bit so we're not. 477 00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:30,000 Picked you're running this show. I'm just along for the ride 478 00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:31,680 tonight. I'm going to ask what you think 479 00:24:31,680 --> 00:24:37,360 is the best ride queue.

It's an absolute no brainer 483 00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:51,200 walking through that queue knowing how involved Joe Rody 484 00:24:51,200 --> 00:24:53,480 was in that ride and in that queue itself. 485 00:24:53,880 --> 00:24:57,440 All of the stuff from, you know, actual expeditions all 486 00:24:57,440 --> 00:25:00,760 throughout Asia, all that. It's just the coolest, best cue 487 00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:03,400 in all of Walt Disney World. So easy done. 488 00:25:03,840 --> 00:25:05,920 Expedition Everest, That's it, that is. 489 00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:08,640 A strange choice. What else is there? 490 00:25:09,000 --> 00:25:10,840 What else is there? Honest to God? 491 00:25:11,400 --> 00:25:12,240 What? Guardians. 492 00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:13,440 What?

It's pretty funny and there's a 499 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,320 lot of little Easter eggs and videos throughout the queue. 500 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:38,520 I like, I like that. I think I I like the way. 501 00:25:38,760 --> 00:25:41,400 It starts off and goes up and spins around and goes to a 502 00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,840 different place. Just today I'm pretty sure I 503 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,280 want. To see that queue as this is 504 00:25:45,280 --> 00:25:47,560 going to be an hour wait. That's the only thing I've seen. 505 00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:51,200 I just saw a post today about that cue and how it was the most 506 00:25:51,200 --> 00:25:54,040 unnecessary cue in all of Walt Disney World. 507 00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,920 Pretty sure so. No, you. 508 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:58,880 Have to hang out and watch some of the videos. 509 00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:00,440 Watch some of the videos that go on in it. 510 00:26:00,440 --> 00:26:02,680 It's pretty funny. Jeff, what's your best one? 511 00:26:03,120 --> 00:26:06,880 Hands down, bar none, Indiana Jones and the Temple of the 512 00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,040 Forbidden Eye at Disneyland. That is the best cue. 513 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:15,160 See, I hated that cue, Yeah. There's so much to look at and 514 00:26:15,160 --> 00:26:17,240 so much to see and so much detail. 515 00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:19,720 I don't remember it, I just feel. 516 00:26:20,400 --> 00:26:23,880 Like it's dark and it's never ending. 517 00:26:24,080 --> 00:26:25,840 You can. You can download the thing on 518 00:26:25,840 --> 00:26:28,960 your phone and translate all the hieroglyphics if you want to. 519 00:26:28,960 --> 00:26:30,600 You can look up and see the. Bats. 520 00:26:31,320 --> 00:26:32,720 That's cool. I didn't know that. 521 00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:36,560 I just can't get over. How do you not think Expedition 522 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:37,720 ever? Is that cute? 523 00:26:38,400 --> 00:26:41,080 Because it looks like Fort Wilderness campgrounds, you got 524 00:26:41,080 --> 00:26:44,240 people's dirty laundry hanging up on the thing and it. 525 00:26:45,160 --> 00:26:48,000 It depresses me because the Yeti isn't working as it's supposed 526 00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:50,400 to otherwise. Yeah, that is a cool. 527 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:55,040 Fake Yeti poop that we're going to pretend looks real. 528 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:58,720 Yeah, if you start reading some of the stuff for like looking at 529 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,240 it, then you just get more and more confused as you're walking 530 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:03,480 through the queue, I feel. Like, oh, I, I'm with Eric. 531 00:27:03,480 --> 00:27:05,160 I do love that queue. Is that your pick? 532 00:27:05,360 --> 00:27:07,680 No, it's not my pick, but I, I do love it. 533 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:11,720 And I used when I taught middle school, we did a unit on 534 00:27:11,720 --> 00:27:13,880 expedition Everest in our reading class. 535 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,680 And so we learned about what all those things meant. 536 00:27:16,680 --> 00:27:19,600 And the laundry is actually like, what are they prayer 537 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:23,160 flags? And anyway, my, my favorite is 538 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:26,800 one that I almost never go in because I hate waiting that 539 00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:28,200 long. But if I could just walk through 540 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:33,400 it, I would pick the Peter Pan cue in Magic Kingdom because it 541 00:27:33,400 --> 00:27:37,560 is actually a really cool cue. Yes, forgot about it. 542 00:27:37,760 --> 00:27:42,280 Yes, 100%. I go back and forth a little 543 00:27:42,280 --> 00:27:45,280 bit, but we have, we've only walked through this once very 544 00:27:45,280 --> 00:27:48,200 quickly and not gotten to take in all the Easter eggs with it, 545 00:27:48,200 --> 00:27:50,280 but I hear so many good things about it. 546 00:27:50,680 --> 00:27:54,400 Mickey and Minnie's runaway railway in Disneyland. 547 00:27:54,640 --> 00:27:57,720 Disneyland that. Queue is supposed to have so 548 00:27:57,720 --> 00:28:01,040 many hidden little First off, if you're a Hidden Mickey fan, 549 00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:03,680 they're everywhere in that ride in general. 550 00:28:04,400 --> 00:28:08,000 But there's so many nods to, you know, historic movies that have 551 00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,560 been done. And I just think it's it's 552 00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:16,960 supposedly very, very cool. Can I, can I just go Disney 553 00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:19,960 adjacent real quick and just say Mario Kart? 554 00:28:19,960 --> 00:28:22,640 Bowser's challenge. Oh yeah, that's so cool. 555 00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:27,400 Because it is the, it is the queue where I, I, I did not get 556 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:29,760 enough of it the last time when we wrote it. 557 00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:34,000 And I was just like, I just want to sit here and take in all of 558 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:38,360 my childhood as I'm walking through this because that epic 559 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,600 universe that's that was super cool. 560 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:45,920 Yeah, OK, that was a good one. All right, How about another 561 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:47,880 food? And I think Panda is going to 562 00:28:47,880 --> 00:28:51,440 have strong opinions. The best Italian on Disney 563 00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:53,120 property. Oh, we have to. 564 00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:55,280 We have to defer to Panda first on this one. 565 00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:58,240 So yes. It's it's really hard to find 566 00:28:58,280 --> 00:29:01,760 good Italian. I don't I don't think there is 567 00:29:01,760 --> 00:29:03,840 good Italian. I think there's good pizza at 568 00:29:03,840 --> 00:29:05,560 Pizza Ponte When? They what is right? 569 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:10,840 What is the most tolerating Italian at Walt Disney World? 570 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:15,600 OK, if I get like if if I go to Maria and Enzo's and they do it 571 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:17,080 right. The rice bowls are great, the 572 00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,120 arancini is great, and their sauce is pretty good. 573 00:29:21,120 --> 00:29:23,200 Their sauce is orange. Yeah. 574 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,760 You're the only time I was there when I told him. 575 00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:29,960 I I yeah, I knew Jeff was going to say that no matter what I 576 00:29:29,960 --> 00:29:30,880 said. Maria Enzos and. 577 00:29:31,040 --> 00:29:33,440 The whole Internet has too rusted in flames. 578 00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:37,680 There is no good Italian, but I mean, Maria Enzos is at least 579 00:29:37,720 --> 00:29:40,000 owned by the same people as Vienopoli. 580 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:43,560 You know, it's the patina group. Sometimes they they do write for 581 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,720 some things, but some not. No, I disagree. 582 00:29:46,800 --> 00:29:50,080 There is good Italian. There's not great Italian, but 583 00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:51,600 there is good. Italian Where is the good? 584 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,280 Where is the good? The same as Crafted Italian at 585 00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:57,760 Disney Springs. I had pieces of rubber coming 586 00:29:57,760 --> 00:29:59,600 out of my meatball that were unshewable. 587 00:29:59,880 --> 00:30:03,320 I did not like it. So much is. 588 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:04,840 That because of the tooth problem or? 589 00:30:06,120 --> 00:30:08,760 No, this was years ago. Other people, too, said the 590 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,720 meatballs were inedible. It might have gotten better, but 591 00:30:11,720 --> 00:30:14,640 Taralina's not on my radar. I We were there for the first 592 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:16,800 time recently. It was it was a decent 593 00:30:16,800 --> 00:30:19,080 experience. I won't rank it. 594 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:22,120 Do we want to say ours together? I. 595 00:30:22,240 --> 00:30:26,080 Know we're going to say the same thing. 123 Illino. 596 00:30:26,200 --> 00:30:29,240 Yeah, again, I'm not Swan and Dolphin. 597 00:30:30,160 --> 00:30:32,440 I keep forgetting about that. That was a good place. 598 00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:34,920 If Swan and Dolphin's doing anything right, it's their food 599 00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:37,840 game. Their rooms are just a standard, 600 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:42,400 you know, Mary Hot hotel room that is pretty rundown, but the 601 00:30:42,600 --> 00:30:45,400 the food choices they're outside of. 602 00:30:45,800 --> 00:30:48,520 Outside of the shellacking from. Outside of shoeless. 603 00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:50,800 Which is gone. Which is gone, which they're 604 00:30:50,800 --> 00:30:53,680 replacing with just another shellacking that we're all still 605 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,320 paying off on credit cards, I think. 606 00:30:56,880 --> 00:31:01,000 But yeah, amazing. We've we've gone there several 607 00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:06,320 Times Now. I they like just the entire who? 608 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:11,640 Who names a restaurant? I'll come on, it's a horrible 609 00:31:11,640 --> 00:31:14,160 name. I don't think it means the same 610 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:15,920 thing. No, it doesn't. 611 00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,040 But it's still the word. It's still a connotation. 612 00:31:18,560 --> 00:31:20,080 It it doesn't make me want to go there. 613 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:21,680 Let's go to the restaurant. Though you get some 614 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:24,160 complimentary limoncello at the end of your meal. 615 00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,640 The Rigatoni's amazing, the focaccia, the bread service is 616 00:31:27,640 --> 00:31:29,680 good. Their salads are good. 617 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,880 Yeah, I love El Molino. I I didn't tell you, you know. 618 00:31:32,000 --> 00:31:35,120 What? OK, hold on that, That Rigatoni 619 00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:39,040 up in Topolino's, I know it's not really an Italian restaurant 620 00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:42,360 quote, UN quote, but that Rigatoni, chicken Rigatoni at 621 00:31:42,360 --> 00:31:44,800 Topolino's is the bomb. Is that gone now too though? 622 00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:48,000 Yes, I think it's no, I think it's different. 623 00:31:48,440 --> 00:31:50,720 They I think they changed. I know that they changed the 624 00:31:50,720 --> 00:31:54,160 Rigatoni up at Topolino's. I'll look it up, but Derek, 625 00:31:54,360 --> 00:31:57,800 Derek, I'm sure. Oh no, I mean I was going to go 626 00:31:57,840 --> 00:32:01,280 go with the obvious which is whatever the place. 627 00:32:01,400 --> 00:32:06,200 Via Napoli for pizza is fine, but a hot take that I will say 628 00:32:06,440 --> 00:32:10,120 is honest to God. I loved the chicken parm as I 629 00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:13,400 sat outside at Tonys Town Square. 630 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:16,200 Right there looking at the Christmas tree. 631 00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,120 Eating the chicken part was actually really good. 632 00:32:19,120 --> 00:32:21,520 And you had a glass of what? Maybe it was the ambiance or 633 00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:24,840 whatnot, but I don't know. I thought it was really really 634 00:32:24,840 --> 00:32:26,760 good. I would happily eat there again, 635 00:32:26,840 --> 00:32:30,360 not inside Tony's town Square. It's just really depressing 636 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:33,200 inside the place. I just hate it. 637 00:32:33,400 --> 00:32:35,720 But wait for a. Food is for the dogs. 638 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,200 Yeah, wait. Wait outside. 639 00:32:38,320 --> 00:32:40,800 Wait outside. Sit outside when it's nice at 640 00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,680 night, you can get a drink, you can have your food. 641 00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:46,680 The food tastes statistically like 70% better when you sit 642 00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:51,760 outside of Tony's 100%. I still want to try it Panda 643 00:32:51,760 --> 00:32:53,320 unfortunately. Here's my problem with 644 00:32:53,320 --> 00:32:54,800 Topolino's. They get rid of everything 645 00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,880 that's good. It is a pop I. 646 00:32:56,920 --> 00:32:59,080 Still see? It is a restaurant. 647 00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,760 Well, so they changed it so. That restaurant died after 648 00:33:01,760 --> 00:33:03,560 COVID. Let's just put it out there. 649 00:33:03,720 --> 00:33:07,880 That restaurant never recovered from that. 650 00:33:08,120 --> 00:33:11,040 This that's, I don't that's. Not like the same. 651 00:33:12,000 --> 00:33:14,840 So that's on the menu right now. That's that's the current. 652 00:33:14,840 --> 00:33:19,200 So it is now a red wine Brandy braised chicken. 653 00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,480 That's not the same as it was before. 654 00:33:21,640 --> 00:33:24,760 It's 'cause it has broccolini in it, which I'm not. 655 00:33:24,760 --> 00:33:26,520 I'm not a big fan of broccolini. It's like. 656 00:33:26,720 --> 00:33:29,360 It's like a little, it's like. The worst parts of the broccoli. 657 00:33:29,360 --> 00:33:31,800 Like nobody likes the stick so let's make them longer. 658 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:35,400 I hate broccolini pancetta. Maybe you can get them a living 659 00:33:35,400 --> 00:33:36,800 with Elena. Black truffle. 660 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:39,080 So it is different. So I can't promise you it's that 661 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,640 same flavor that you had before. But yeah, here's my here's my 662 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,040 quirk with them. You've got this restaurant 663 00:33:45,040 --> 00:33:48,160 that's got all this pasta decor, you know what I mean? 664 00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,200 You've got like, they have actual pasta hanging, don't 665 00:33:51,200 --> 00:33:52,440 they? That's been hanging you've got. 666 00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,640 You've. Got lights? 667 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:55,400 One dish. Yeah, you've got lights. 668 00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:58,880 They look like noodles and you have one pasta dish. 669 00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,840 I'm with you, yeah. Where did? 670 00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:03,160 They need a. Lobster. 671 00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,000 Ravioli. Lasagna. 672 00:34:05,120 --> 00:34:06,720 Yeah, yeah. What happened to the cheese 673 00:34:06,720 --> 00:34:09,080 cart? They used to have a cheese cart 674 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:10,560 too. That's gone now. 675 00:34:10,560 --> 00:34:12,960 So I I can't go back there until they they. 676 00:34:12,960 --> 00:34:16,000 Used to. There's there's pictures of the 677 00:34:16,520 --> 00:34:21,600 epic pork tomahawk that they used to have, Yeah. 678 00:34:21,639 --> 00:34:23,639 That was not that. Anymore like that was a 679 00:34:23,639 --> 00:34:26,400 highlight of the of what they had there. 680 00:34:26,400 --> 00:34:29,840 They they've just really scaled back that menu and unfortunately 681 00:34:29,840 --> 00:34:32,199 it's not a place that I feel like is recovered. 682 00:34:32,199 --> 00:34:35,440 The other thing that they did there not like derailing us from 683 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:39,560 Italian, but they had an American, I would still say 684 00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,120 probably arguably one of the better character breakfasts on 685 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:46,560 property, but they have slowly scaled back what's included in 686 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,840 that character breakfast. So they've increased the price 687 00:34:49,840 --> 00:34:52,920 and scaled back what you get for that price, which is kind of 688 00:34:52,920 --> 00:34:54,560 knocked it. We will. 689 00:34:54,560 --> 00:34:58,640 I hopefully I'm trying to get us a reservation in the next week 690 00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:04,600 or two to try that again and see how it is so we may have. 691 00:35:04,680 --> 00:35:08,440 Breakfast there with Mary Dowd Litigg So it is the best 692 00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:10,440 breakfast ever no matter what they serve. 693 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,480 Well, that is the company. Yes, the company would make that 694 00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:17,240 make that amazing. So all right, how about the the 695 00:35:17,280 --> 00:35:22,600 best cookie? Oh, it's not available anymore. 696 00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:26,320 Cookie. It was the carrot cake cookie 697 00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:29,920 from the Writer's Stop. What is the writer's stop? 698 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:34,640 Oh yeah, it's where, it's where the what's the bar that's there 699 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:36,360 now? Over by Muppet Vision. 700 00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:37,640 Baseline. Yes. 701 00:35:38,400 --> 00:35:40,120 That's where baseline it was, yeah. 702 00:35:40,360 --> 00:35:43,360 Or is now, yeah. They had a carrot cake cookie 703 00:35:43,360 --> 00:35:45,480 that was to die. Oh, he's going back like. 704 00:35:46,160 --> 00:35:48,760 It's all over the answer. I know, I know, I haven't had a 705 00:35:48,760 --> 00:35:50,360 good. Day What is the best cookie that 706 00:35:50,360 --> 00:35:54,280 exists today at Disney World? Today the Snickerdoodle at 707 00:35:54,280 --> 00:35:57,240 Summer House. Is a good answer. 708 00:35:58,440 --> 00:36:03,160 I'm going to, I'm going to say the NUM NUM cookie at studios. 709 00:36:03,520 --> 00:36:05,520 Also a good answer. That is a good answer. 710 00:36:05,960 --> 00:36:08,960 Fantastic cookie. Fantastic cookie, but Disney? 711 00:36:08,960 --> 00:36:12,640 Uses the word cookie. Usually it's more like a cake. 712 00:36:13,440 --> 00:36:16,800 The joy about even the cookie that Jeff said and the joy about 713 00:36:16,800 --> 00:36:19,560 my cookie is you don't have to wait in the line. 714 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:21,840 I knew those even for. 8 days like you. 715 00:36:21,880 --> 00:36:25,440 Do at the.

Greatest openly weeping. 778 00:39:46,600 --> 00:39:51,280 Mickey's Dancing, no. I I agree 100%. 779 00:39:51,280 --> 00:39:53,760 Anybody that knows me knows that that is my favorite show. 780 00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:56,360 It is Disney storytelling at its finest. 781 00:39:57,000 --> 00:40:01,200 It is costumes, it is props, It is floats, it is stunts. 782 00:40:01,840 --> 00:40:04,840 The update they did when they added all the the characters in 783 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:08,000 the middle. My only complaint, and it's a 784 00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:11,480 small one but there's that part inside Fantasmic where all the 785 00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:15,240 villains have their time but it's all on the screen other 786 00:40:15,240 --> 00:40:17,680 than the snake. They should have taken what they 787 00:40:17,680 --> 00:40:20,240 did at the new villain show and just plopped that in the middle 788 00:40:20,240 --> 00:40:22,600 of Fantasmic. And it couldn't have been. 789 00:40:23,600 --> 00:40:26,600 It would be. Or they plastic Jafar hands has 790 00:40:26,600 --> 00:40:28,200 got to be lying around somewhere they can go. 791 00:40:28,200 --> 00:40:29,400 Exactly. Yeah, for a couple. 792 00:40:29,400 --> 00:40:33,680 Minutes and go to town. Yeah, but yeah, it no question. 793 00:40:33,680 --> 00:40:35,840 And I love that they have a merch stand and they just added 794 00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:39,200 a bunch of new merch, new Fantasmic shirts, the snacks, 795 00:40:39,200 --> 00:40:42,280 the drinks, everything about that experience is perfect. 796 00:40:42,960 --> 00:40:44,920 Yep. My biggest complaint of that 797 00:40:44,920 --> 00:40:49,760 show is the people that go to leave 2 minutes before it's over 798 00:40:50,040 --> 00:40:53,080 and ruin it because they're all getting up because it's hard to 799 00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:55,240 get out of that theater. I really wish they'd make some 800 00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:56,120 sort of announcement. That's it. 801 00:40:56,120 --> 00:40:58,400 Ladies and gentlemen, Please wait till the show's over before 802 00:40:58,400 --> 00:41:00,200 you exit. Because that crescendo at the 803 00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:02,640 end where he comes on top of the mountain, that's it. 804 00:41:02,640 --> 00:41:05,480 I've just got the chills. And I am sometimes, Derek, 805 00:41:05,520 --> 00:41:07,480 openly weeping. Yeah, it's great. 806 00:41:08,280 --> 00:41:10,240 Yep. Do you have a different one than 807 00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:15,360 Fantastic? Well, so I personally, the the 808 00:41:15,360 --> 00:41:17,720 show that has always resonated with me the most and had the 809 00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:21,160 biggest emotional pool has always been happily ever after. 810 00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:26,320 That is just like based off of like when more so when you were 811 00:41:26,320 --> 00:41:29,600 really falling in love with Disney and that show came out 812 00:41:29,600 --> 00:41:34,680 and it was just so special for us that like I will never not 813 00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:40,160 enjoy watching that show. Speaking of Fantasmic, you and I 814 00:41:40,160 --> 00:41:43,080 argue this all the time and we get torn on this. 815 00:41:43,480 --> 00:41:47,000 I will give the nod to Walt Disney World now because they 816 00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,080 still have a dragon and our argument has been where the the 817 00:41:51,080 --> 00:41:54,160 seating component. But I will say that when they 818 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:59,000 had the dragon, Disneyland was the superior Fantasmic. 819 00:41:59,000 --> 00:42:02,520 I don't like the seating situations, too stressful I. 820 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:03,920 Agree. And that's why that's why you 821 00:42:03,920 --> 00:42:06,200 use a fast pass or do a dining package so you don't have to 822 00:42:06,200 --> 00:42:08,680 deal with that. But there is something about 823 00:42:08,680 --> 00:42:12,160 Disneyland that intimate it's in your face, that big pirate ship. 824 00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,000 And it's right like, it's right there like. 825 00:42:15,360 --> 00:42:18,360 It's right there if you spent $80 a piece at Blue Bayou. 826 00:42:18,600 --> 00:42:20,000 That's fine. Otherwise. 827 00:42:20,680 --> 00:42:23,800 I was watching, we were recently back home and Wheeling and I was 828 00:42:23,800 --> 00:42:26,160 watching my mom. She was out like tending to the 829 00:42:26,160 --> 00:42:28,520 garden and she has our butt pad that we got. 830 00:42:28,520 --> 00:42:30,080 I know they don't do that anymore. 831 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:33,520 They don't, but you used to get a butt pad and it has fantasmic 832 00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:36,840 all over it and she was using it as she was wedding the garden 833 00:42:36,840 --> 00:42:39,680 that day so. I have so I have a love hate 834 00:42:39,680 --> 00:42:42,160 relationship with happily ever after because I do love the 835 00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:47,760 show, but I also like I I judge some things based on it's like 836 00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:50,480 accessibility and things like that. 837 00:42:50,480 --> 00:42:54,560 So I think it's very hard to watch happily ever after when 838 00:42:54,560 --> 00:42:57,400 you're in the park. A lot of times, especially if 839 00:42:57,400 --> 00:43:00,720 you're shorter, you're watching it over someone's shoulder kid 840 00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:02,920 or you're trying to watch it through someone's phone who's 841 00:43:03,000 --> 00:43:04,600 holding their phone up recording it. 842 00:43:04,960 --> 00:43:09,080 And that's why I've never loved it because I find it hard to 843 00:43:09,080 --> 00:43:13,560 watch. But caught and I'm not into the 844 00:43:13,560 --> 00:43:15,920 new show, but if I had to pick my favorite show, it would have 845 00:43:15,920 --> 00:43:18,760 been illuminations. Love Illuminations, love the 846 00:43:18,760 --> 00:43:22,360 music, love the message, and I love that there's just so much 847 00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:28,000 space around the world Showcase lagoon that if you're anyone 848 00:43:28,000 --> 00:43:31,080 that takes any amount of time to wait can have, you know, a front 849 00:43:31,080 --> 00:43:33,840 row seat basically to the show I. 850 00:43:33,880 --> 00:43:38,520 Could you imagine if Epcot brought back Illuminations and 851 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:42,160 and redid it made it better Illuminations 2 point O they 852 00:43:42,160 --> 00:43:44,000 would be right in their own money because nobody's staying 853 00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,880 really right now for the for the new show, not in the droves they 854 00:43:47,920 --> 00:43:50,520 were bring back the music give us. 855 00:43:50,600 --> 00:43:54,480 A better show and we and I loved Harmonious, but it just there 856 00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:59,920 was too much clunky pieces out in in on the water all day long. 857 00:44:00,200 --> 00:44:02,760 Yeah, I wish that they would redo eliminations. 858 00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:06,920 I'll be honest, Harmonious never bothered me. 859 00:44:07,160 --> 00:44:10,880 Like I did not get the complaints that people had about 860 00:44:10,880 --> 00:44:15,720 that show, like the fact that we got Luminous as the follow up to 861 00:44:15,800 --> 00:44:18,240 that. I would rather have harmonious 862 00:44:18,240 --> 00:44:20,800 back. Like and I'll and I'll take the 863 00:44:20,800 --> 00:44:23,400 barges and I'll take the tacos. What now? 864 00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:28,760 What I never fully understood is why those weren't mobile because 865 00:44:28,760 --> 00:44:31,960 essentially the same things that they're bringing out now for 866 00:44:31,960 --> 00:44:35,640 Luminous are very similar, maybe a little bit smaller in size. 867 00:44:36,720 --> 00:44:40,520 But you could have figured a way to make that a mobile barge like 868 00:44:40,520 --> 00:44:42,360 that. And that would have solved, you 869 00:44:42,360 --> 00:44:45,600 know, most people's complaints about that whole thing. 870 00:44:45,600 --> 00:44:49,960 And you could have, if you made a globe move and spin around 871 00:44:50,040 --> 00:44:52,880 World Showcase Lagoon, you could have made the Stargate, you 872 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:57,760 know, move during the day in some capacity That that that 873 00:44:57,760 --> 00:45:00,800 part of stuff I never got. But at the same time, the fact 874 00:45:00,800 --> 00:45:02,680 that Luminous was the follow up to that. 875 00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:08,200 And yeah, better than Epcot Forever for sure. 876 00:45:08,400 --> 00:45:11,440 That was but the kites, the kites made that show that was 877 00:45:11,440 --> 00:45:13,400 great they. They stopped doing those, didn't 878 00:45:13,400 --> 00:45:14,720 they? They did because. 879 00:45:15,520 --> 00:45:17,480 Go back to my list. Little chaotic there. 880 00:45:17,640 --> 00:45:19,640 Can I do an honorable mention while you're going back to the 881 00:45:19,640 --> 00:45:20,320 list? Yeah. 882 00:45:21,880 --> 00:45:25,240 Please say Rivers of light. The 50th anniversary of 883 00:45:25,240 --> 00:45:27,480 Disneyland. There was one called Remember 884 00:45:27,480 --> 00:45:30,560 Dreams Come True, and it was the best fireworks show that 885 00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:33,040 Disney's ever done. It was it was nicknamed E 886 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:36,120 tickets in the sky and it was all the soundtracks from it's a 887 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,320 small world, Indiana Jones Star Tours. 888 00:45:38,440 --> 00:45:41,720 They even had the please stand clear of the doors. 889 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:45,960 You know, they they did all of the Disney ride soundtrack. 890 00:45:46,080 --> 00:45:49,440 They got to pirates. They put a big pirate flag up on 891 00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:52,600 the Matterhorn, and it was like the castle and the Matterhorn 892 00:45:52,600 --> 00:45:55,040 were pirate ships and they were shooting fireworks at each other 893 00:45:55,040 --> 00:45:56,120 and oh. That's cool it. 894 00:45:56,600 --> 00:45:59,080 Was really really cool. You should go YouTube it when 895 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:01,520 you have time. Yeah, I always like Mickey's mix 896 00:46:01,520 --> 00:46:03,880 magic, but that's that. That was the more recent one. 897 00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:07,080 No one liked that show, but I thought, I thought the beat of 898 00:46:07,080 --> 00:46:08,600 it was. I thought the song was great. 899 00:46:08,680 --> 00:46:12,520 It was a banger. I don't know what just happened. 900 00:46:12,840 --> 00:46:14,360 I don't think my wife's ever used that word. 901 00:46:15,600 --> 00:46:20,920 All right, let's do the best Epcot Pavilion. 902 00:46:22,720 --> 00:46:24,600 It's only one I didn't write down an answer to because it's 903 00:46:24,600 --> 00:46:29,720 too hard. Everyone's like clenching Panda. 904 00:46:29,720 --> 00:46:32,680 What do you think? I do think it's Mexico. 905 00:46:32,760 --> 00:46:34,400 I do. I don't know why. 906 00:46:34,840 --> 00:46:37,800 I just think it's because there's the pyramid and then 907 00:46:37,800 --> 00:46:43,040 you're it's night time inside. You've got the tequila cave, you 908 00:46:43,040 --> 00:46:45,120 got the restaurant. And then you do have the boat 909 00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:47,840 ride that goes through and you can wave to all the people and 910 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:53,440 say wait till you see your bill and you it's I do, I think it's 911 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:55,800 the best. I do think it's the best 912 00:46:55,800 --> 00:46:57,760 pavilion. I do. 913 00:46:58,640 --> 00:47:03,240 Derek, what do you think? I'm going to go UK, UK easy. 914 00:47:03,480 --> 00:47:06,760 I just love that feel like it's always a rite of passage because 915 00:47:06,760 --> 00:47:09,560 we've always stayed over there at the Boardwalk when we became 916 00:47:09,560 --> 00:47:12,520 Disney Vacation Club members. So it was always the country you 917 00:47:12,520 --> 00:47:15,440 first start at, right when you come in, you know, from from the 918 00:47:15,440 --> 00:47:18,280 back entrance and you go at the time they used to serve, you 919 00:47:18,280 --> 00:47:20,720 know, bass beer. So you go get a bass beer and 920 00:47:20,720 --> 00:47:23,800 then you shop right. You start in that first store on 921 00:47:23,800 --> 00:47:26,840 the right and it's just like a rite of passage and you just 922 00:47:26,840 --> 00:47:29,400 kind of snake your way all the way through all the stores and 923 00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:32,160 you pop out through the back. Sometimes There used to be that, 924 00:47:32,160 --> 00:47:34,560 you know, really great bands that would play in the back. 925 00:47:34,560 --> 00:47:37,680 They still do from time to time, but no one's ever back there. 926 00:47:37,920 --> 00:47:39,880 So it's just a super kind of chill area. 927 00:47:40,080 --> 00:47:42,200 And then you go into the other side where there's a little bit 928 00:47:42,200 --> 00:47:44,960 more stores and then there's, you know, some overpriced, you 929 00:47:44,960 --> 00:47:48,320 know, herring bone tea sets or whatever, but it doesn't matter. 930 00:47:48,960 --> 00:47:51,720 You got you got a beer in your hand and you're walking around. 931 00:47:51,800 --> 00:47:54,440 And way back when they used to have people come out and do they 932 00:47:54,440 --> 00:47:58,560 were almost like kind of Monty Python esque skits and like, you 933 00:47:58,560 --> 00:48:01,320 know, sketches with like people would around and involve the 934 00:48:01,320 --> 00:48:04,240 audience participation right there in the middle of that 935 00:48:04,240 --> 00:48:07,400 courtyard. So for me I just think it's it's 936 00:48:07,400 --> 00:48:11,760 the UK, but Mexico's a super super close second, followed by 937 00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:14,760 the African trading outpost is a closer. 938 00:48:16,840 --> 00:48:19,480 That that tea Hut is great, Derek, If you haven't been, it's 939 00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:21,960 just a great place to get stuff. Yeah. 940 00:48:22,800 --> 00:48:27,320 Honorable Jeff. It's really hard because it 941 00:48:27,320 --> 00:48:31,040 depends on what we're talking about from a beauty or an 942 00:48:31,040 --> 00:48:33,120 aesthetic point of view. I want to give it to China. 943 00:48:33,520 --> 00:48:36,800 Those gardens with the walkways that go, the big buildings that 944 00:48:36,800 --> 00:48:39,080 are colorful. You go inside, you get the 945 00:48:39,080 --> 00:48:42,760 Shanghai Disney preview, but I don't ever go there. 946 00:48:42,840 --> 00:48:45,560 My favorite to walk around. I would have to go with Derek 947 00:48:45,560 --> 00:48:48,760 and say United Kingdom. It has the best French fries, it 948 00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:53,160 has the best bar, and it has the best shopping like Monty Python, 949 00:48:53,160 --> 00:48:57,520 Beatles, Rolling Stones. So I guess it depends. 950 00:48:57,520 --> 00:48:59,160 And if we're talking about food, then it's Japan. 951 00:48:59,160 --> 00:49:01,640 But I'm gonna, I'm gonna settle on United Kingdom. 952 00:49:02,120 --> 00:49:04,160 Good call. I think it's always just like 953 00:49:04,160 --> 00:49:07,480 wherever you always have the most fun or the most memories. 954 00:49:07,480 --> 00:49:09,320 For me, that's the Germany pavilion. 955 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:12,880 I remember us watching the fireworks from the Germany 956 00:49:12,880 --> 00:49:18,120 pavilion one time. And that, that trombone like, 957 00:49:18,240 --> 00:49:21,720 and the ducks fighting like that is like ingrained in my, my 958 00:49:21,720 --> 00:49:25,240 memory from like just a, just a good experience. 959 00:49:25,240 --> 00:49:29,200 But also it's like where if, if we're walking around Epcot, 960 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,160 that's where you always lose me for some reason. 961 00:49:31,400 --> 00:49:37,240 Because just like Derek said, I end up going into the Carmel 962 00:49:37,280 --> 00:49:41,360 Kook or whatever you call it, going into that store, then 963 00:49:41,360 --> 00:49:44,400 going through all the other stores that wind back that that 964 00:49:44,400 --> 00:49:46,360 side. And then I normally come out 965 00:49:46,360 --> 00:49:50,440 with a beer and then I Mosey over to the other side and then 966 00:49:50,440 --> 00:49:52,960 I wind my way through the stores on that side. 967 00:49:53,880 --> 00:49:57,760 And yeah, I just, I just enjoy being in that pavilion. 968 00:49:57,800 --> 00:49:59,560 And it's beautiful at night as well. 969 00:49:59,560 --> 00:50:02,560 Like it's just. Just so the furniture trains 970 00:50:02,680 --> 00:50:04,680 are. Are is really cool? 971 00:50:04,760 --> 00:50:06,360 Yeah. So yeah. 972 00:50:06,800 --> 00:50:09,160 And and the bathrooms are right there too, which is. 973 00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:11,920 That's a bonus. You know some of these don't. 974 00:50:12,080 --> 00:50:14,600 You know, some of these don't have good bathrooms. 975 00:50:15,800 --> 00:50:19,200 Train right? It is really, it's really tough 976 00:50:19,200 --> 00:50:22,440 because you know, I think France Pavilion so pretty. 977 00:50:22,440 --> 00:50:25,160 There's some things I really love about American Pavilion, 978 00:50:25,560 --> 00:50:28,560 but I think that like aesthetically, my favorite is 979 00:50:28,560 --> 00:50:33,640 actually Norway. And I just I like, I do like the 980 00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:38,760 frozen ride. I like the Oh my goodness, what 981 00:50:38,760 --> 00:50:40,200 is it? Kringala Bakery? 982 00:50:40,200 --> 00:50:42,280 I like some of the things inside there. 983 00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:48,000 And I really love the store because I like the Helly Hansen 984 00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:51,200 jackets. But I don't know, I just I love 985 00:50:51,200 --> 00:50:55,360 Norway and the the way it looks. And good call, because it is 986 00:50:55,360 --> 00:50:58,520 Disney law that you have to take a picture with that giant troll. 987 00:50:58,880 --> 00:51:00,640 Yes.

Can I just take this a step 989 00:51:03,080 --> 00:51:07,040 further and ask if there would be a country that you would add? 990 00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,240 No, you're not allowed to ask that. 991 00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:09,920 I'm not, no. Why? 992 00:51:09,960 --> 00:51:11,800 Because that's on a list for something else. 993 00:51:14,360 --> 00:51:18,840 Moving on.

Yeah I was actually going to say 1079 00:55:41,880 --> 00:55:46,520 the marketplace Co-op as well. I got this mug from some friends 1080 00:55:46,520 --> 00:55:48,240 for Christmas. It's one of my favorite mugs 1081 00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:50,960 I've ever gotten. I saw that in an outlet for $5 1082 00:55:50,960 --> 00:55:52,800 recently. Great. 1083 00:55:54,080 --> 00:55:55,720 But no, it's it's just a collection. 1084 00:55:55,720 --> 00:55:58,600 I love the dog stuff. I almost buy my dogs new outfits 1085 00:55:58,600 --> 00:56:02,080 every time I go in there. It's got a little bit of 1086 00:56:02,080 --> 00:56:03,440 everything. It's right across from the 1087 00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:06,080 Margarita stand, which is like a locational benefit. 1088 00:56:07,280 --> 00:56:10,280 But yeah, I I love it. Probably an honorable mention 1089 00:56:10,280 --> 00:56:15,760 would be I do like when it's at full, like working the Pirates 1090 00:56:15,760 --> 00:56:18,760 of the Caribbean shop at the exit of Pirates. 1091 00:56:19,080 --> 00:56:21,680 I do buy a lot of Pirates is my favorite so. 1092 00:56:22,360 --> 00:56:24,840 But yeah, Marketplace Co-op was my choice. 1093 00:56:25,680 --> 00:56:27,400 OK. How much? 1094 00:56:27,800 --> 00:56:29,880 How much pirate merchandise can you buy? 1095 00:56:30,080 --> 00:56:31,560 Yeah, apparently more than you. Can get. 1096 00:56:33,720 --> 00:56:35,000 Did you have an answer to that question? 1097 00:56:35,520 --> 00:56:39,840 No, honestly, I so I thought about I I really do like the 1098 00:56:39,840 --> 00:56:43,680 gift shop in Jumbo House just because of the size. 1099 00:56:44,440 --> 00:56:46,360 That's a good one. And just, it's just a cool one 1100 00:56:46,360 --> 00:56:49,480 to look around. What's weird though is that I I 1101 00:56:49,480 --> 00:56:53,040 agree that is a larger gift shop and it has a lot of stuff, but 1102 00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:57,000 when it comes to like Animal Kingdom Lodge merch, I feel like 1103 00:56:57,000 --> 00:57:00,160 I always find more or I find something at the really tiny 1104 00:57:00,160 --> 00:57:01,800 Kadani store that I'm going to buy. 1105 00:57:01,880 --> 00:57:03,960 This is something. That's like where the most the 1106 00:57:03,960 --> 00:57:07,000 DVC members are concentrated anyway. 1107 00:57:07,480 --> 00:57:10,480 But I will say I will give an honorable mention to the gift 1108 00:57:10,480 --> 00:57:13,880 shop at Olkey West in Saratoga because they always are the ones 1109 00:57:13,880 --> 00:57:17,000 that seem to have the DVC stuff first. 1110 00:57:17,760 --> 00:57:19,760 I don't know, I just always, it always seems that way. 1111 00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:27,040 OK, what about the best buffet on Disney property? 1112 00:57:27,400 --> 00:57:30,200 Oh my God, these are so easy. It's so easy. 1113 00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:34,400 If anybody answers this question and doesn't say BOMA, you're not 1114 00:57:34,400 --> 00:57:37,400 on the next. Show it is it is, Boma it is. 1115 00:57:38,080 --> 00:57:40,520 It is. Yeah, this is for the variety. 1116 00:57:40,520 --> 00:57:43,440 There's some stuff there that if you want to be adventurous, you 1117 00:57:43,440 --> 00:57:46,000 can be. If you want your chicken Nuggets 1118 00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:49,280 and Mac and cheese from the kids plate, it's also available. 1119 00:57:49,800 --> 00:57:52,520 The breads. The dessert let's Let's remove 1120 00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:56,320 boma that would have. Been my answer too. 1121 00:57:56,320 --> 00:57:59,240 I love Boma. What is your #2? 1122 00:58:02,720 --> 00:58:05,360 No, I know mine. Go ahead, Derek. 1123 00:58:06,200 --> 00:58:10,080 Like if I'm going to do a buffet and I can't go to Boma, but I 1124 00:58:10,080 --> 00:58:12,400 still want kind of a cool experience with good food, I'm 1125 00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:14,320 going to say Crystal Palace. That wasn't. 1126 00:58:14,320 --> 00:58:15,760 That would be my second type too. 1127 00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:20,280 I just love, and especially if you can get breakfast, it's just 1128 00:58:20,400 --> 00:58:23,600 something about eating in there and the characters and Winnie 1129 00:58:23,640 --> 00:58:26,320 the Pooh and the whole gang knowing you're at the Magic 1130 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,960 Kingdom and you've got all day and you're eating, you know, 1131 00:58:28,960 --> 00:58:31,960 churro waffles and you've got the whole day in front of you. 1132 00:58:31,960 --> 00:58:36,120 I'm, I'm just never a big fan of like dinner buffets, except for 1133 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:38,640 Bulma. So I love a good breakfast 1134 00:58:38,640 --> 00:58:40,360 buffet. So if I'm going to do 1 and 1135 00:58:40,360 --> 00:58:42,560 spend the money on one, it's going to be the Crystal Palace. 1136 00:58:43,480 --> 00:58:46,200 Honorable mention to Hollywood and Vine. 1137 00:58:46,200 --> 00:58:49,680 I've gone twice and I was surprised at how good the food 1138 00:58:49,680 --> 00:58:52,160 was. I I was like suckered into it 1139 00:58:52,160 --> 00:58:55,680 because of kids, but I thought the offerings I thought were all 1140 00:58:55,680 --> 00:58:58,280 really good. Chicken was really good, 1141 00:58:58,280 --> 00:58:59,520 meatballs a whole bunch. Of stuff. 1142 00:58:59,520 --> 00:59:02,760 My my thing about Hollywood and Vine is because it's a character 1143 00:59:02,840 --> 00:59:06,480 buffet, the price and it's literally, I think we said this 1144 00:59:06,480 --> 00:59:08,080 on our when we covered it for the show. 1145 00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:11,040 You sit down and it literally feels like you're sitting down 1146 00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:13,240 at a Denny's. Yeah, like the lack. 1147 00:59:13,320 --> 00:59:15,080 Of steaming inside that restaurant. 1148 00:59:16,280 --> 00:59:18,600 Yeah, I'm just going by the food, but yes, then. 1149 00:59:19,360 --> 00:59:22,240 Trying to get to your food, like I think Amy caught it on camera. 1150 00:59:22,240 --> 00:59:23,960 Minnie hit me in the face with her ear. 1151 00:59:24,760 --> 00:59:26,280 Nowhere to walk. In. 1152 00:59:26,280 --> 00:59:29,200 That it was hectic. It was hectic, yeah. 1153 00:59:29,280 --> 00:59:33,520 Madness I I think I would have to go with Crystal Palace as 1154 00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:34,800 well. Yeah. 1155 00:59:36,520 --> 00:59:39,080 I I, I, I agree with Crystal Palace. 1156 00:59:39,080 --> 00:59:41,120 We had excellent breakfast there. 1157 00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,480 Obviously Bone was our favorite. I've always liked breakfast at 1158 00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:46,240 Tusker House. Yes. 1159 00:59:46,680 --> 00:59:49,080 I've always thought we've never been there for dinner, but 1160 00:59:49,080 --> 00:59:51,800 breakfast has always been pretty good there. 1161 00:59:52,440 --> 00:59:54,240 I I can't. About that one. 1162 00:59:54,480 --> 01:00:00,080 I can't justify like I can't justify going there that often. 1163 01:00:00,080 --> 01:00:01,840 No, I haven't been there in years. 1164 01:00:01,880 --> 01:00:07,360 But I have enjoyed and, and again, for me it's, it's just 1165 01:00:07,360 --> 01:00:11,720 about weighing the quality of the buffet versus the atmosphere 1166 01:00:11,720 --> 01:00:15,560 versus does it have characters. I think Boma just, you know, 1167 01:00:15,560 --> 01:00:18,640 again, just wins hand down, hands down on value across the 1168 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:23,040 board. Was it, is it Storytellers Cafe 1169 01:00:23,040 --> 01:00:27,560 at Grand Californian? We did go there once that that's 1170 01:00:27,560 --> 01:00:28,720 it. If you are out on the West 1171 01:00:28,720 --> 01:00:31,320 Coast, I think that's a good buffet option if you're out 1172 01:00:31,320 --> 01:00:35,480 there. And yeah, go ahead, Derek. 1173 01:00:36,280 --> 01:00:38,920 No, I'm just going to make a very important point. 1174 01:00:38,920 --> 01:00:43,120 Can we all agree that hands down, the most overrated buffet 1175 01:00:43,560 --> 01:00:46,440 is Chef Mickey's? I mean please can we all I've. 1176 01:00:46,440 --> 01:00:49,720 Actually never eaten there. It's just. 1177 01:00:50,160 --> 01:00:52,000 It's chaos. It's chaos. 1178 01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:54,960 Here's pure chaos. It's. 1179 01:00:55,240 --> 01:00:57,760 Chaos. Here's where the floor is 1180 01:00:57,760 --> 01:01:00,120 covered in like, scrambled eggs and everything. 1181 01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:06,200 The characters look annoyed. The kids are all jacked up and 1182 01:01:06,200 --> 01:01:09,640 it's just, oh, that place just. Yeah, and do you know what else 1183 01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:12,280 is said? We all went to nice Vegas art 1184 01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,640 fair. What was that? 1185 01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:19,840 We all went to 1900 Park Fair, which should have had the crown 1186 01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:23,280 of buffets, and it's just we it's not even on our radar at 1187 01:01:23,400 --> 01:01:26,040 all. That's a missed opportunity. 1188 01:01:26,280 --> 01:01:29,800 And so, and here's the other missed opportunity. 1189 01:01:29,920 --> 01:01:33,240 And I, I think this is across the board Disney with a lot of 1190 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,360 these buffets. I want to go back and try this 1191 01:01:36,360 --> 01:01:39,240 because I, we've never really done it as a buffet, but I would 1192 01:01:39,240 --> 01:01:44,560 like to go to the Germany pavilion in Epcot and do that as 1193 01:01:44,560 --> 01:01:47,640 a buffet. But even moving backwards to 1194 01:01:47,640 --> 01:01:51,360 Chef Mickey's, both that and Chef Mickey's we did emerging 1195 01:01:51,360 --> 01:01:56,520 out of the pandemic and they had gone to the family style where 1196 01:01:56,520 --> 01:01:58,520 it was bring out these big platters. 1197 01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:02,440 I preferred that so much to a buffet. 1198 01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:07,040 I thought that that and, and it was, it blew my mind that all of 1199 01:02:07,040 --> 01:02:11,480 these restaurants moved back to the buffet concept because I 1200 01:02:11,480 --> 01:02:13,360 think you can control waste better. 1201 01:02:13,640 --> 01:02:16,400 I think you can control, you know, the volume of food 1202 01:02:16,400 --> 01:02:20,160 production. All of those things can be fixed 1203 01:02:20,160 --> 01:02:24,320 and cut down on and probably you're making more per person 1204 01:02:24,320 --> 01:02:28,280 like Disney, you love money. Like I feel like those things 1205 01:02:28,280 --> 01:02:33,600 can easily be fixed by having that family style concept. 1206 01:02:34,080 --> 01:02:36,400 And I just, I thought the food was better. 1207 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:38,400 I thought it just helped the atmosphere. 1208 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,560 We did Chef Mickey's when it was like that. 1209 01:02:40,760 --> 01:02:44,480 I thought the food was was decent as compared to the chaos 1210 01:02:44,480 --> 01:02:48,120 of doing it as a buffet. I like the all the options, 1211 01:02:48,120 --> 01:02:52,440 though. I like family style is so you 1212 01:02:52,440 --> 01:02:55,520 know, it's very restrictive. Like here's what you get. 1213 01:02:55,520 --> 01:02:57,080 You know, I mean, I like to choose. 1214 01:02:58,840 --> 01:03:00,600 Pause. Pause looking at it from a 1215 01:03:00,600 --> 01:03:03,280 business. When Amy hits a buffet, that 1216 01:03:03,280 --> 01:03:05,000 plate. Is I like? 1217 01:03:05,120 --> 01:03:08,360 I like to try everything. Yeah, yeah, Especially on a 1218 01:03:08,360 --> 01:03:09,440 cruise ship. She. 1219 01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:11,240 Right. Listen, I get my money's worth. 1220 01:03:11,600 --> 01:03:14,760 You mess around. Yes yes you you get me to a 1221 01:03:14,760 --> 01:03:17,920 breakfast buffet and if the waitress like if I have to tell 1222 01:03:17,920 --> 01:03:21,880 the waitress like 6 times yes I would like more eggs that would 1223 01:03:21,880 --> 01:03:26,280 just make it annoying because I love to fill I eat an unhealthy 1224 01:03:26,280 --> 01:03:28,360 amount of scrambled eggs when I'm. 1225 01:03:28,360 --> 01:03:31,960 Adding Oh my God, same thing. I want to go to a particularly 1226 01:03:31,960 --> 01:03:34,040 with these guys, we should go to BOMA. 1227 01:03:35,200 --> 01:03:37,760 Buffet eggs because I don't know if they're real. 1228 01:03:37,800 --> 01:03:42,640 Eggs, not the. When we went to Boma, Jeff looks 1229 01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:45,240 at the pancake and goes, ah, pancake. 1230 01:03:45,640 --> 01:03:47,960 And it was, it was the funniest thing. 1231 01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:51,360 I cannot look at pancake ever the same. 1232 01:03:51,560 --> 01:03:52,520 There's a video. Of that out. 1233 01:03:54,360 --> 01:03:57,360 There, Yeah. And Panda going they must. 1234 01:03:57,360 --> 01:03:59,440 They love the animals here, but they're frying them up in the 1235 01:03:59,440 --> 01:04:05,680 back. All right, how about the last 1236 01:04:05,880 --> 01:04:08,120 one? All right, I'll pick a good one. 1237 01:04:08,200 --> 01:04:09,200 Wow. We've been talking right now. 1238 01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:15,400 The best Magic Kingdom land as it as it currently exists. 1239 01:04:18,360 --> 01:04:21,720 I'm going to go Adventureland just because I like the theming 1240 01:04:21,720 --> 01:04:24,040 of it. I, I love the trees. 1241 01:04:24,040 --> 01:04:28,840 I like Tomorrowland's a concrete jungle and Frontierland is just 1242 01:04:29,240 --> 01:04:33,480 a walkway to get from Tiana's to Haunted Mansion. 1243 01:04:35,480 --> 01:04:37,120 I I I'm going to say Adventureland. 1244 01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:40,720 And see, I'm going to say Tomorrowland because I, I love 1245 01:04:40,760 --> 01:04:44,200 the thought of Tomorrowland. If only Disney could get it 1246 01:04:44,200 --> 01:04:46,800 right. You know, I, I think that that 1247 01:04:46,920 --> 01:04:48,880 that land could be so much cooler. 1248 01:04:51,080 --> 01:04:54,680 The fact that you have literally an empty stitch ride that like 1249 01:04:54,680 --> 01:04:58,720 cast members use as like a break and then you still have Monsters 1250 01:04:58,720 --> 01:05:01,400 Inc is still there, those two huge spaces. 1251 01:05:01,440 --> 01:05:05,000 And throw in the fact that you still have that gas guzzling 1252 01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:10,480 Tomorrowland Speedway taking up an obscene amount, and oh, it's 1253 01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:12,120 not right. Not right. 1254 01:05:12,920 --> 01:05:14,640 All right, Eric. What do you say, Liberty? 1255 01:05:16,360 --> 01:05:19,800 I'm gonna in terms of actual theming itself when I'm in it 1256 01:05:19,800 --> 01:05:22,520 and I know it's there's not much going on, but to me it's Liberty 1257 01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:25,760 Square that it just has a really cool vibe. 1258 01:05:25,760 --> 01:05:27,600 It's got a great feel. I know there's not much to 1259 01:05:27,600 --> 01:05:29,640 actually do there, but it's cool. 1260 01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:33,000 And I learned a lot when I went with Jeff and the the whole gang 1261 01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,840 when we went to the Halloween party and I learned about, you 1262 01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:38,480 know, looking on the streets and all the details and all the 1263 01:05:38,480 --> 01:05:41,400 lamps on the trees. So I think in terms of like 1264 01:05:41,400 --> 01:05:45,000 theming itself in the actual Magic King, I mean, some people 1265 01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,440 will say, oh, Fantasyland, no, it's not. 1266 01:05:47,480 --> 01:05:51,200 I mean, maybe the new part of of Fantasyland, but a lot of it's 1267 01:05:51,200 --> 01:05:55,360 just big buildings and whatnot. So I think in terms of at the 1268 01:05:55,360 --> 01:05:58,400 Magic Kingdom, once you're in it, in terms of detailed 1269 01:05:58,400 --> 01:06:00,760 theming, for me, it's Liberty Square. 1270 01:06:02,080 --> 01:06:05,200 Liberty Square because of the Haunted Mansion but I agree with 1271 01:06:05,200 --> 01:06:07,560 the theming. But if it's the Haunted Mansion 1272 01:06:07,560 --> 01:06:09,640 my favorite attraction it that's it. 1273 01:06:09,640 --> 01:06:14,280 Liberty Square because of that. I've always liked Frontierland. 1274 01:06:14,360 --> 01:06:16,440 I don't know why, and I love Big Thunder. 1275 01:06:16,440 --> 01:06:18,160 Big Thunder is my favorite attraction there. 1276 01:06:18,160 --> 01:06:21,840 So I have to go with Frontierland. 1277 01:06:21,840 --> 01:06:24,120 And I like when you walk through, you're kind of hearing 1278 01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:27,760 like bluegrass music and. And yet again, I will just say 1279 01:06:28,240 --> 01:06:32,560 any of these lands as a Disneyland version far superior 1280 01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,120 to the world version, I feel like personally. 1281 01:06:35,480 --> 01:06:38,800 And you've got New Orleans Square out there, which I think 1282 01:06:38,800 --> 01:06:44,600 it's a pretty cool addition. So OK, not for Amy Krieger. 1283 01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:49,280 Hey, forget about our thoughts. We care about yours. 1284 01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,880 And we want you to let let us know in the comments what your 1285 01:06:52,880 --> 01:06:55,840 answers to all of these questions are and tell us why 1286 01:06:55,840 --> 01:07:00,120 we're wrong, more importantly. So please be sure in the 1287 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,120 comments of this week's video to let us know. 1288 01:07:02,120 --> 01:07:04,960 Also, let us know if there's some of these that we missed. 1289 01:07:05,240 --> 01:07:08,880 I know Jeff thinks that we can't do part twos, but who knows? 1290 01:07:08,880 --> 01:07:11,040 Maybe one day we'll do a Part 3 of this show. 1291 01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:15,840 That'll be a day, but as always, I hope you enjoyed it. 1292 01:07:15,840 --> 01:07:19,640 And yeah, we'll see you next Monday for another episode of 1293 01:07:19,640 --> 01:07:20,520 the DVC show.
