How's it doing on the on the 

11
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:49,440
podcast streets out there? 
Whether you're listening on your

12
00:00:49,440 --> 00:00:53,960
way to work or maybe you're 
falling asleep to this voice 

13
00:00:56,760 --> 00:01:04,000
couldn't use his sleep as you 
listen about Disney parks and 

14
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,840
dreaming of Disney. 
OK weirdo. 

15
00:01:07,760 --> 00:01:08,560
Hello. 
Friends. 

16
00:01:08,560 --> 00:01:10,560
We're back, we're back. 
It's been a few weeks. 

17
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:13,720
Just it was what, 2 weeks? 
Two weeks. 

18
00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:15,080
I can't remember what happened 
last night. 

19
00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,280
Oh, you were sick? 
I was sick, I was sick, Had 

20
00:01:19,280 --> 00:01:26,320
bronchitis, had the bronchi. 
Yes, they, as they call it as 

21
00:01:26,320 --> 00:01:28,400
those in the medical field, like
they call it the bronchi. 

22
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:34,440
And yeah, it was pretty rough 
there for for a hot minute, but 

23
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:39,680
but doing better, yes, doing 
better coughing here and there. 

24
00:01:39,680 --> 00:01:42,680
So I apologize if that happens, 
but we'll try to cut that out. 

25
00:01:42,680 --> 00:01:48,560
So but but yeah. 
I'm distracted. 

26
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:50,040
Hang on. 
You are distracted. 

27
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:55,600
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. 
I'm back. 

28
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:56,880
OK. 
I'm back. 

29
00:01:59,040 --> 00:02:01,440
Yeah. 
So we will also. 

30
00:02:01,880 --> 00:02:03,800
I will not also, though. 
That doesn't make any sense. 

31
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,919
We won't have one next week, but
that is for a good reason. 

32
00:02:10,840 --> 00:02:11,680
Really. 
What? 

33
00:02:11,720 --> 00:02:12,760
Why? 
What is it? 

34
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,040
What is it? 
I don't know. 

35
00:02:15,480 --> 00:02:18,840
We going somewhere? 
We we might be in a Disney park.

36
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:19,920
Oh really? 
Which one? 

37
00:02:19,960 --> 00:02:22,800
I don't, I'm not going to say, 
OK, cool, Maybe we're going to 

38
00:02:22,800 --> 00:02:24,440
be in Disney World. 
Maybe we're going to be in 

39
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,920
Shanghai Disney surprise, we're 
going to Hong Kong. 

40
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,040
Just kidding, We're not. 
We're not going to Hong Kong. 

41
00:02:33,600 --> 00:02:34,840
No, we're going to be in 
Disneyland. 

42
00:02:35,880 --> 00:02:41,200
Very excited. 
This is typically our like the 

43
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:45,600
time of the year where it's like
our, our like. 

44
00:02:46,320 --> 00:02:49,360
It's our big yearly trip. 
Big like family trip, you know, 

45
00:02:49,360 --> 00:02:51,200
like summer is usually just a 
quick one. 

46
00:02:53,400 --> 00:03:02,800
So I'm excited to I know we're 
going to Hong Kong Disneyland. 

47
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:06,640
It would be. 
Funny or Tokyo, it would. 

48
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,600
Be funny if I, if that's where 
we were going, if we were going 

49
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:13,200
to 1 like OK, wait, hang on. 
So the three we need to go to 

50
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,880
that we've never been to would 
it would be Shanghai, Hong Kong 

51
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:18,800
and Tokyo, Tokyo. 
Tokyo is the one that I'm like, 

52
00:03:19,840 --> 00:03:21,840
I want to do Tokyo. 
Don't forget Abu Dhabi. 

53
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:23,960
That's not there yet. 
I know, but. 

54
00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:25,240
It's coming. 
We're not there yet. 

55
00:03:25,240 --> 00:03:32,760
It's coming. 
But anyways, my mind just went 

56
00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:34,960
blank. 
So yes, I'm excited just because

57
00:03:35,520 --> 00:03:41,640
it's a trip where we're able to 
take a little more time and, you

58
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,360
know, just like have fun with 
the with the kids. 

59
00:03:46,880 --> 00:03:51,000
And so I'm, I'm excited again. 
I always have to do this though,

60
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:56,440
because I'm, I'm, you know, life
is busy and they're all in 

61
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:58,880
school and things. 
And it's like, especially now 

62
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:00,880
that our oldest is in high 
school and has a totally 

63
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:05,520
different schedule, it's like, 
especially when we were 

64
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:08,800
homeschooling, like we don't do 
as many things all together. 

65
00:04:09,120 --> 00:04:13,200
And so I'm like excited just for
time, but I have to like set my 

66
00:04:13,200 --> 00:04:15,120
expectations because you know, 
they're still going to be 

67
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,680
fighting. 
Like the kids are still going to

68
00:04:16,680 --> 00:04:20,040
fight with each other and I'm 
still going to be like irritated

69
00:04:20,040 --> 00:04:23,840
with all of them. 
So I'm also trying to be not get

70
00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:27,800
my hopes up too much because you
guys, so you and two of the boys

71
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:32,800
were sick. 
The others, three of us, me and 

72
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:36,520
the other two kids, have not 
been, except now our daughter is

73
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,720
sick. 
I'm pretty sure our youngest 

74
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,480
son. 
I hope so. 

75
00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,080
I hope he is now. 
He seemed a little off today and

76
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:50,080
when I when he was going to bed 
he he just some coughing, some 

77
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,000
sniffling so. 
And I know that sounds bad like 

78
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:58,680
I want him to be sick but this 
poor kid gets sick every time we

79
00:04:58,680 --> 00:05:05,840
go somewhere like not like. 
So we have a a friend on TikTok,

80
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:11,160
37 year old brother, 36 and 30, 
and we still fight and yeah, 

81
00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:12,520
they still fight and make their 
parents mad. 

82
00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:14,680
Yeah, I'm sure it'll it, you 
know. 

83
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:17,800
So I just have to be like, OK, 
it's still going to be us. 

84
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:20,840
It's not like our boys are all 
going to be hugging each other. 

85
00:05:20,840 --> 00:05:27,920
But but, but I hope he's sick 
now because poor kid, like 

86
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:32,240
especially last a year ago now 
we were in Disney World and he 

87
00:05:32,240 --> 00:05:35,760
was sick and I got sick too. 
But I got over it. 

88
00:05:35,760 --> 00:05:39,680
And our other, our second oldest
got sick too. 

89
00:05:39,960 --> 00:05:42,600
But we didn't get it that bad. 
We had a day where we didn't go 

90
00:05:42,600 --> 00:05:44,160
anywhere. 
We stayed at the resort and both

91
00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,160
of us were kind of like and then
we were OK, like just a little 

92
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:51,400
sniffily like not bad. 
He had like a stomach thing and 

93
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,240
just like had to stay in the 
room and like poor thing. 

94
00:05:54,320 --> 00:05:58,080
Well, it was like the the night 
that we got there, he. 

95
00:05:58,840 --> 00:06:02,480
Oh my gosh, I forgot about that.
His like fever dream. 

96
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:06,080
Remember when he woke up and he 
was dreaming and he started like

97
00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:08,760
panicking. 
It was so sad. 

98
00:06:08,760 --> 00:06:11,960
He thought we were in a plane. 
We, he thought we were still in 

99
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:14,120
the plane and that it was 
crashing. 

100
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:17,880
So he was like crying and 
hysterical. 

101
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,720
And it's like, why are we going 
down? 

102
00:06:19,720 --> 00:06:22,080
Or like I'd have to listen to 
that podcast episode 'cause I 

103
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:25,920
know we talked about. 
It it was, yeah, because we got 

104
00:06:25,920 --> 00:06:30,800
there and he started on the on 
the bus, on the, on the shuttle 

105
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:35,600
from the airport to the resort. 
He was like, I'm really cold. 

106
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:39,440
I'm like, gosh darn it. 
And I knew exactly what that 

107
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:39,880
was. 
Well. 

108
00:06:39,880 --> 00:06:42,240
Because our daughter had been 
sick a week before we left and 

109
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:43,480
we were like, great, we're going
to. 

110
00:06:43,480 --> 00:06:46,360
When we surprised them, they 
thought we were just going to 

111
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:49,000
Disneyland, which we just drive.
We were flying to Florida and 

112
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:51,120
going to Disney World and our 
daughter got sick. 

113
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,040
But then she was better by the 
time we left. 

114
00:06:53,320 --> 00:06:55,560
But, you know, with four kids, 
you know if one has it, it's 

115
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:57,680
just a matter of time. 
Yeah. 

116
00:06:57,680 --> 00:06:59,960
And then, you know, the next 
morning, yeah, they had that 

117
00:06:59,960 --> 00:07:01,320
fever dream in the middle of the
night. 

118
00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:05,640
And the next morning, he was 
just, you know, just, you know, 

119
00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:10,120
Yeah, just the, the fever and, 
you know, just just out of it. 

120
00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:12,000
It was awful. 
Curtis. 

121
00:07:15,640 --> 00:07:19,520
For those of you listening on 
the podcast, we are doing this 

122
00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:22,480
live on TikTok. 
So if you hear me saying hi to 

123
00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:25,680
people and you're like, what is 
happening, that is that? 

124
00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,040
Is or you get distracted. 
Or I get distracted. 

125
00:07:28,040 --> 00:07:33,160
I'm sorry. 
So yeah, for those of you on 

126
00:07:33,160 --> 00:07:35,720
TikTok, we do live in 
California. 

127
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,600
Disneyland is our Home Park, the
one we go to more often. 

128
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:41,480
But we have been to Disney 
World. 

129
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:48,000
We have been three times since 
2022, twice with our kids, once 

130
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,240
alone. 
So there you go. 

131
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:53,600
But this time we are going to 
Disneyland. 

132
00:07:54,080 --> 00:07:57,320
We are going to Disneyland 
hoping that the two youngest, 

133
00:07:57,960 --> 00:08:03,920
well, the youngest, is sick. 
Hoping that the youngest boy is 

134
00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:07,080
sick now as well. 
Because then that means by the 

135
00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:10,400
time we leave, he will be better
and I will be the last one 

136
00:08:10,400 --> 00:08:14,800
standing. 
I typically don't get it. 

137
00:08:15,640 --> 00:08:20,000
Everybody else does. 
The last time I was sick, I 

138
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:22,360
believe, was when we were in 
Disney World last year. 

139
00:08:22,360 --> 00:08:24,120
Was that really the last time 
you were sick? 

140
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:27,120
It's been a year. 
Constantly I'm fighting it. 

141
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,760
Every time they're sick I feel 
like I'm fighting it. 

142
00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,000
But I don't remember the last 
time I was like, I'm sick, I 

143
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,880
need to stay in bed. 
I pray for it. 

144
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:37,400
That's also because you're a mom
and. 

145
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:42,000
I'm like, please, can I just be 
really sick so that there is no 

146
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:44,720
way I can get out of bed? 
Like it is like, yeah, you have 

147
00:08:44,720 --> 00:08:48,320
to stay in bed. 
No, I'm just going to be in a 

148
00:08:48,320 --> 00:08:53,360
constant state of fighting it to
where I just feel just bad 

149
00:08:53,360 --> 00:08:56,440
enough to, like, want to stay in
bed, but not bad enough to where

150
00:08:56,440 --> 00:08:59,200
I get to. 
Yeah, that's my life now. 

151
00:09:02,600 --> 00:09:09,160
So yeah, but we're excited. 
We are staying on property and 

152
00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:14,800
we do have to figure out what in
the world we're going to do 

153
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:20,880
because early entry is gone. 
What is our new strategy? 

154
00:09:22,120 --> 00:09:25,040
You know, like I've complained 
about it. 

155
00:09:25,400 --> 00:09:32,120
Grinds in my gears, you know, 
it's grants grants those gears 

156
00:09:32,440 --> 00:09:36,480
that. 
OK, no worry. 

157
00:09:36,480 --> 00:09:40,920
I mean, I've, I've gone off on 
this so much, but it's like once

158
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:43,800
again, so the first time we went
to Disney World, I know I'm like

159
00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:46,360
a broken record, but first time 
we went to Disney World, they 

160
00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,680
hadn't brought back the booking 
your lightning lanes a week out.

161
00:09:50,040 --> 00:09:53,200
Like if you don't know if you go
to Disney World and you're 

162
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:56,360
staying on property, which they 
have like over 30 on property 

163
00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,560
hotels, so good chance you can 
stay on property. 

164
00:10:01,080 --> 00:10:06,080
You can book your lightning 
lanes a week out off property 

165
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,840
three days out from your first 
day. 

166
00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:11,840
So either way, even if you're 
off property, you can book ahead

167
00:10:11,840 --> 00:10:16,480
of time. 
Disneyland you cannot. 

168
00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:18,520
You can purchase lightning lane 
as a way like if you're 

169
00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:23,600
purchasing a package you can get
lightning lane multi pass before

170
00:10:23,600 --> 00:10:26,920
you go. 
But like for us we get it once 

171
00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:34,000
we're in the park but you can't 
even if you get even if you have

172
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:35,800
it beforehand. 
You cannot book your first 

173
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:38,520
lightning lane until you are 
physically in the park until you

174
00:10:38,520 --> 00:10:41,200
scan in. 
The only thing that you can 

175
00:10:41,200 --> 00:10:46,640
purchase ahead of time is the 
premier pass which is the the 

176
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,400
all access lightning lane 7 days
out you can do that one. 

177
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:53,920
But like, honestly, like who's 
going to do that? 

178
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:58,600
So we're trying to figure out 
because we are staying on 

179
00:10:58,600 --> 00:11:01,480
property. 
Honestly it makes me mad because

180
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,360
we're giving in to what they 
want. 

181
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:07,040
Yeah, like what's the point of 
staying on property if? 

182
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:12,400
But we're doing it idiots. 
We're idiots. 

183
00:11:13,120 --> 00:11:17,960
I know, I know. 
Because what they, OK, so back 

184
00:11:17,960 --> 00:11:21,440
to my story, when the first time
we went in 2022 to Disney World,

185
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:25,240
they hadn't brought back all of 
those things yet from during the

186
00:11:25,240 --> 00:11:28,240
pandemic, they like they hadn't 
brought back the meal plan and 

187
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:31,600
all that yet. 
So at that time you could 

188
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:36,800
purchase Lightning Lane or at 
that Genie Plus at midnight for 

189
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,840
the next day. 
And then at 7:00 AM you could 

190
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,680
book your first Lightning Lane. 
This would make sense at 

191
00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:47,720
Disneyland. 
Like for them to do that for on 

192
00:11:47,720 --> 00:11:54,200
property because it's like, OK, 
we can't go in early, so let's 

193
00:11:54,800 --> 00:11:58,040
sleep in a little bit. 
Like let's just get to the park 

194
00:11:58,040 --> 00:12:00,120
instead of rushing in the 
morning with four kids. 

195
00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:03,120
Let's just, you know, take our 
time and get in. 

196
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:08,360
But if we do that, if we get in 
at 9:00 and then we get 

197
00:12:08,360 --> 00:12:12,640
Lightning Lane, people, if it's 
busy, people have already been 

198
00:12:12,640 --> 00:12:14,960
purchasing. 
And so if you start your 

199
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:18,480
Lightning Lane and your first 
selection isn't until like later

200
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:23,080
in the afternoon, you're just 
behind, you're behind. 

201
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:24,960
And then we have done that 
before. 

202
00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:28,680
Like last summer, it was busy. 
It was very busy, but we were 

203
00:12:28,680 --> 00:12:33,080
driving in, we were closer than 
we are now, like than where we 

204
00:12:33,080 --> 00:12:34,520
live. 
We were staying somewhere and so

205
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:36,440
we were driving down that 
morning from where we were 

206
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:38,640
staying and we got into the 
park. 

207
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:43,520
It was probably 9:30 or 10. 
It was busy. 

208
00:12:43,560 --> 00:12:48,040
We got Lightning lane. 
We were behind like because it 

209
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,560
was a busy day all day. 
And like that day it was like 

210
00:12:51,560 --> 00:12:54,600
why did we even purchase this? 
Like we got to go on like use 

211
00:12:54,600 --> 00:13:04,560
like 2 lightning lanes. 
So like that's what I'm thinking

212
00:13:04,560 --> 00:13:08,040
with this. 
It's like if we get in a little 

213
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,080
later, it could be like why even
purchase it? 

214
00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,600
But then if we don't purchase it
and it's a busy day like so if 

215
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:20,560
we could book our first one as 7
and say we get it for 9/9/30 

216
00:13:20,560 --> 00:13:25,480
10:00, but then the park opens 
at 8:00 at 10:00 we could book 

217
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:27,880
another one because it'd be two 
hours after opening. 

218
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:29,960
Like it just makes sense. 
What are they giving us? 

219
00:13:30,160 --> 00:13:34,400
They are giving US1 lightning 
lane per person per stay. 

220
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:38,520
You could be staying four or 
five days and you get 1 per 

221
00:13:38,520 --> 00:13:42,840
person for your entire stay. 
That is most likely you're 

222
00:13:42,840 --> 00:13:45,000
already purchasing Lightning 
Lane. 

223
00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:47,960
So like, OK, yeah, you get one 
right. 

224
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:50,560
But like it's just it's not an 
even trade at all for that half 

225
00:13:50,560 --> 00:13:54,120
an hour of rides. 
It's not an even trade and it's 

226
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,160
not a big enough perk for the 
prices. 

227
00:13:58,160 --> 00:14:03,320
Now if they if like say Pixar 
Place was a value price like the

228
00:14:03,320 --> 00:14:07,360
value resorts in Disney World 
and you had like different 

229
00:14:07,360 --> 00:14:13,200
tiered perks, you stay at a 
deluxe, you get you stay at a 

230
00:14:13,200 --> 00:14:18,800
deluxe and you get the booking 
at 7:00 AM You get you stay at a

231
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:22,960
value, you get 1 lightning lane 
like that could be a little 

232
00:14:22,960 --> 00:14:25,720
complicated, but like I just 
don't get it. 

233
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:28,440
I don't get it. 
They they they can't on like I. 

234
00:14:28,800 --> 00:14:31,640
I think it's it's just, I think 
what's going to happen is that 

235
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,800
early entrance can become a a 
paid, it's going to be a paid 

236
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:36,960
perk. 
So but it's. 

237
00:14:36,960 --> 00:14:40,520
Not in Disney World. 
Well, I think it's going to they

238
00:14:40,520 --> 00:14:42,680
can't because there's so many 
different. 

239
00:14:45,080 --> 00:14:50,200
Well, maybe they could, but I, I
think it's going to be like for,

240
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:54,640
for Disneyland if you stay at 
end because there's only three 

241
00:14:54,640 --> 00:15:02,360
resorts, but if you stay at a, a
deluxe view room and up, you get

242
00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:05,920
early entry. 
See, but the only thing I, the 

243
00:15:05,920 --> 00:15:07,880
only reason I'm thinking that 
they might not do that is 

244
00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,480
because it did seem like it was 
a staffing issue because they 

245
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:17,040
went from an hour, which they 
got rid of that a long time ago 

246
00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:20,200
and it was just half an hour. 
But it was not like in Disney 

247
00:15:20,200 --> 00:15:24,560
World, I believe. 
I could be wrong, but I think 

248
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,760
like the whole park is open. 
Maybe not every ride is running 

249
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:30,920
at 7:30, but I think the whole 
park is open at Disneyland. 

250
00:15:31,320 --> 00:15:36,760
It went down to only Fantasyland
and Tomorrowland, not like 

251
00:15:36,760 --> 00:15:40,080
Toontown isn't, it's just 
Fantasyland and Tomorrowland. 

252
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:43,400
Which worked out for us because 
we would typically get Star 

253
00:15:43,400 --> 00:15:46,960
Tours, Space Mountain and then I
would take our daughter and do 

254
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:50,000
like a bunch of Fantasyland 
rides while we did a rider swap 

255
00:15:50,080 --> 00:15:52,760
for Space Mountain. 
So it worked for us. 

256
00:15:53,600 --> 00:15:56,800
But yeah, I mean that that was 
their, that was Disney's excuse 

257
00:15:56,800 --> 00:16:01,800
was that not enough people were 
making use of the perk, So 

258
00:16:01,800 --> 00:16:04,640
that's why they discontinued it.
I don't think it was that, I 

259
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,000
think it was staff. 
Well, it that kind of goes hand 

260
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:12,200
in hand, it's it not enough 
people were using it so that it 

261
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:17,040
doesn't make sense to have that 
staff there to to have them 

262
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:20,400
there early. 
So they were wasting money and 

263
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:22,920
forcing people to work early 
when people weren't using it, 

264
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:26,200
which I disagree. 
I think I always saw lots of 

265
00:16:26,200 --> 00:16:28,560
people using it. 
Yeah, well, when I was there on 

266
00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:35,840
my solo trip in November, I used
it because I was staying on 

267
00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:39,280
property and there was a line 
like to get into California 

268
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:41,600
Adventure because I went in, I 
used it for California Adventure

269
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:46,960
and actually a longer line than 
I had ever seen at that 

270
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,520
entrance. 
So I think that was, I don't 

271
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:52,960
think that was really the 
reason. 

272
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:56,440
I just like whatever you're 
getting rid of it, but give us. 

273
00:16:56,800 --> 00:17:02,080
I'm just surprised because you 
would think that they would want

274
00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,359
people staying at their hotels. 
They don't have value pricing. 

275
00:17:06,359 --> 00:17:09,680
They just took away the biggest 
perk and there's plenty of 

276
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,920
options. 
It's not like they have a 

277
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:16,599
monopoly on hotels there. 
Like there are plenty of options

278
00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:19,800
for good neighbor hotels. 
And then there's even nicer ones

279
00:17:19,800 --> 00:17:23,200
like the Westin that like if you
don't want to stay at like the 

280
00:17:23,200 --> 00:17:27,280
Tropicana Inn, but you want 
something nicer, you can. 

281
00:17:30,200 --> 00:17:32,640
Curtis, you're having a lot 
you're having fun with. 

282
00:17:35,840 --> 00:17:40,160
So yeah, it's but we, I don't 
know what I know one day, like, 

283
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:45,200
OK, this is my segue. 
Rather spend more days there 

284
00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:52,480
than pay property prices, right.
So if you stay at, you know, 

285
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:57,960
where did we say the Alamo? 
Yeah, you could stay at the 

286
00:17:57,960 --> 00:18:00,520
Alamo Inn, like say, because for
us it's like, OK, well we have 4

287
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:02,760
kids. 
You could stay at the Alamo Inn,

288
00:18:02,760 --> 00:18:04,200
get 2 rooms. 
I don't know if they have 

289
00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:07,360
connecting rooms so don't like 
quote me on that or anything, 

290
00:18:07,360 --> 00:18:11,480
but somewhere like that that has
connecting rooms get 2 rooms for

291
00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:14,120
probably less than one room at a
Disney. 

292
00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:20,480
Hotel. 
Mystic. 

293
00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:22,760
I felt like that was poison. 
I felt. 

294
00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,480
Like getting getting dark over 
here. 

295
00:18:29,760 --> 00:18:32,560
But yeah, absolutely. 
So it's just, it's interesting, 

296
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:34,280
this move, it's just 
interesting. 

297
00:18:34,280 --> 00:18:39,160
And I'm curious to see what 
happens in down the road to see 

298
00:18:39,160 --> 00:18:43,880
if like, oh, that's why they did
it because so far no one is 

299
00:18:43,880 --> 00:18:45,080
saying that like everyone's 
like. 

300
00:18:45,080 --> 00:18:45,840
What? 
Why? 

301
00:18:46,120 --> 00:18:47,680
It's really, It's really 
strange. 

302
00:18:47,680 --> 00:18:52,360
Like I've said a billion times 
again in Disney World, so all on

303
00:18:52,360 --> 00:19:02,400
property hotels get early entry 
at Disney World and there are 

304
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:05,440
value, moderate and deluxe 
pricing. 

305
00:19:06,120 --> 00:19:08,760
So you would think that if they 
were going to make any change 

306
00:19:09,800 --> 00:19:11,880
that like I could see them doing
it in Disney World. 

307
00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:14,200
And like even though Disney 
World Deluxe resorts has the 

308
00:19:14,200 --> 00:19:19,440
after hours, I could see them 
saying, OK, value resorts don't 

309
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:25,880
have it anymore. 
Value resorts don't get early 

310
00:19:25,880 --> 00:19:29,640
entry anymore like you had. 
So to try to get people to book 

311
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,400
those nicer hotels, you know 
where like here, Yeah, it just 

312
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:37,560
doesn't make sense. 
So segwaying into our other 

313
00:19:37,560 --> 00:19:40,520
exciting, well, it's not our 
news, but like the exciting news

314
00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:49,000
we want to talk about is. 
Kind of it's kind of like that. 

315
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:52,680
Hang on, you guys, check that 
out. 

316
00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,400
Check that out. 
That's that's not a, it's not a 

317
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:57,760
filter, guys. 
That's the real deal. 

318
00:19:57,760 --> 00:20:01,280
This was our son's OW. 
This was our son's. 

319
00:20:01,600 --> 00:20:03,840
Our oldest. 
Like it? 

320
00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:09,640
And he was so sticking cute in 
this. 

321
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:13,800
It's not like ridiculously cute.
I don't even know why this is 

322
00:20:13,800 --> 00:20:14,240
down here. 
Yeah. 

323
00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:15,440
Why is that? 
Why is? 

324
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,200
This I think our daughter found 
it and. 

325
00:20:17,440 --> 00:20:19,560
Was playing with it. 
And playing with it, It doesn't 

326
00:20:19,560 --> 00:20:21,800
fit her, but all the boys wore 
it. 

327
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:23,880
I don't think she ever wore it. 
But anyways. 

328
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:29,680
OK, so we've had this trip 
planned for a few months the 

329
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:33,320
other day. 
Oh, that's so cute. 

330
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,080
Cute. 
I love the Penguin. 

331
00:20:38,040 --> 00:20:44,080
The other day Disney announced 
the 25th anniversary of 

332
00:20:44,640 --> 00:20:49,880
California Adventure. 
It opened February 8th, 2001 and

333
00:20:49,880 --> 00:20:53,600
we are going to be there on the 
25th anniversary. 

334
00:20:53,600 --> 00:20:54,960
Now they're not doing a big old 
thing. 

335
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:58,840
It's like seems like it's a week
long pretty much. 

336
00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,160
Well here's the weird thing. 
You know when they announce like

337
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:09,880
any big event or a big 
anniversary, it's always months 

338
00:21:09,880 --> 00:21:12,760
in advance. 
Like months, sometimes like 6 

339
00:21:12,760 --> 00:21:16,640
plus months in advance. 
They announced this, the 25th 

340
00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:20,640
anniversary celebration of 
Disney's California Adventure, a

341
00:21:20,640 --> 00:21:23,720
week before. 
Well, here, because I was asking

342
00:21:24,160 --> 00:21:29,440
our Walt Disney World friends on
TikTok and I said, have they 

343
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:33,120
made a big deal about 
anniversaries in Epcot or 

344
00:21:33,120 --> 00:21:37,360
Hollywood Studios? 
And a few people said no, like 

345
00:21:37,360 --> 00:21:39,560
they don't, they don't. 
They'll say like, oh, it's the 

346
00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:50,320
25th anniversary of Animal 
Kingdom or whatever, but but but

347
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:54,720
not like Magic Kingdom or 
Disneyland. 

348
00:21:54,960 --> 00:21:58,240
Yeah. 
So I'm like, OK, because, and 

349
00:21:58,280 --> 00:22:00,920
but I got really excited because
I love California Adventure. 

350
00:22:00,920 --> 00:22:04,840
Like it has grown on me. 
Like I went for the first time 

351
00:22:04,960 --> 00:22:07,880
and I didn't realize this. 
Like the first time I went was 

352
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:13,760
in April or May of 2001. 
So it had only been open, but I 

353
00:22:13,760 --> 00:22:16,240
didn't, I knew it was a new 
park, but I didn't realize how 

354
00:22:16,240 --> 00:22:17,880
new at the time. 
We were only there for half a 

355
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:21,880
day. 
It was with choir and me and my 

356
00:22:21,880 --> 00:22:23,120
best friend weren't really crazy
about it. 

357
00:22:23,240 --> 00:22:25,600
Like we were like, it just feels
like you're at Santa Cruz Beach 

358
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:27,280
boardwalk. 
Like it doesn't feel Disney. 

359
00:22:27,680 --> 00:22:29,360
And that's how it felt for 
several years. 

360
00:22:29,360 --> 00:22:32,640
Like you and I would have said, 
like we would do Disneyland all 

361
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:36,240
day and then our second day 
would be the morning would be 

362
00:22:36,240 --> 00:22:38,320
California Adventure and then 
we'd end in Disneyland. 

363
00:22:38,600 --> 00:22:43,520
And we did that for years. 
It wasn't until they like 

364
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,280
updated things in 2014 maybe. 
Around then. 

365
00:22:48,360 --> 00:22:51,800
Because by the time we took our 
second on his first trip, which 

366
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:57,960
would have been actually 2013, 
2013 they had they had done like

367
00:22:57,960 --> 00:23:03,440
Buena Vista St. and all that. 
So it has just grown on me more 

368
00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,320
and more than Cars Land, 
Avengers Campus. 

369
00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:11,080
Like I love all of the like, you
know, Hollywood in the 20s when 

370
00:23:11,080 --> 00:23:15,080
Walt Disney came, like it's 
just, I love it. 

371
00:23:15,080 --> 00:23:17,720
I love it. 
So I was just so excited that 

372
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,320
we're going to be there that 
day. 

373
00:23:20,880 --> 00:23:22,240
So they released some of the 
things. 

374
00:23:22,480 --> 00:23:24,600
And you guys, I'm not a big 
popcorn bucket person. 

375
00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:31,600
Like I don't like whatever. 
Like so OK, hang on. 

376
00:23:31,600 --> 00:23:33,640
We have a question on Tiktok. 
How long is it going for? 

377
00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:37,520
I'm having a hard time finding 
that exact information. 

378
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:41,280
All I can find on their blog is 
that they are bringing back 

379
00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:45,840
Soren over California for this. 
That's coming back on the 6th 

380
00:23:45,880 --> 00:23:48,960
and goes until July 1st. 
I believe after that it will be 

381
00:23:48,960 --> 00:23:50,800
the soaring over America that 
they're doing. 

382
00:23:50,800 --> 00:23:53,640
Yeah, July 2nd starts the new 
soaring across America. 

383
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:56,080
OK, so that is going till July 
1st. 

384
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:00,600
Everything else that I found 
like the popcorn bucket is 

385
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:05,320
saying the 6th through the 15th.
So a little over a week, two 

386
00:24:05,320 --> 00:24:09,720
weeks. 
What is that a little over? 

387
00:24:10,120 --> 00:24:14,080
Yeah, about two weeks. 
About two weeks, but you have 

388
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:16,320
several Star Wars popcorn 
buckets. 

389
00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:19,200
The only popcorn bucket I have 
ever seen that I was like, oh, I

390
00:24:19,200 --> 00:24:21,360
want that was when Disneyland 
was closed. 

391
00:24:21,360 --> 00:24:25,400
I think it was in the world was 
a Cinderella anniversary 1 and 

392
00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:27,520
it was like pink and it lit up. 
It was like the carriage. 

393
00:24:27,520 --> 00:24:30,680
It was so pretty. 
But I want the I'm getting this.

394
00:24:30,680 --> 00:24:34,920
This is it is the Pixar Paleron 
Ferris wheel. 

395
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:38,760
It lights up. 
Well, it it interacts with 

396
00:24:38,760 --> 00:24:41,480
different lands in the parks, so
you take it around. 

397
00:24:41,480 --> 00:24:44,960
Oh my gosh. 
And then it'll do like different

398
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:47,600
different lighting effects 
depending on where you are. 

399
00:24:49,360 --> 00:24:53,480
I'm so excited, I'm so excited 
and they have a shirt 25 year 

400
00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:55,520
25th anniversary for California 
Adventure. 

401
00:24:57,160 --> 00:25:00,760
When for those that are there on
that date, which our reservation

402
00:25:00,760 --> 00:25:04,200
is for California Adventure on 
that day, they will have a 

403
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:10,720
commemorative opening day map of
the park for however, you know, 

404
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:14,640
the 1st while supplies last, 
which they did for the 70th and 

405
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:16,880
Disneyland, which would have 
been really cool to get because 

406
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,400
it would have been the original 
like map for Disneyland. 

407
00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:23,120
But I'm excited about this one 
because I like remember like I, 

408
00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,480
I was, I've been to the park 
when it was brand new. 

409
00:25:28,920 --> 00:25:32,920
So this is the day we have to 
rope drop early because I want 

410
00:25:32,920 --> 00:25:35,360
that map. 
They have a cake shake. 

411
00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:38,680
A cake shake. 
That's a schmoozy's. 

412
00:25:39,560 --> 00:25:42,600
It's a. 
Confetti shake with a strawberry

413
00:25:42,600 --> 00:25:45,600
icing, sprinkles with topping 
and a slice of cake. 

414
00:25:45,640 --> 00:25:49,840
Like a full slice of cake. 
The popcorn bucket looks. 

415
00:25:49,840 --> 00:25:51,960
Oh my gosh. 
I'm so excited. 

416
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,960
Yeah, that's. 
They have a shirt. 

417
00:25:52,960 --> 00:25:57,560
They have a sweater and a hat. 
And pins. 

418
00:25:57,560 --> 00:26:00,200
And pins. 
Commemorative pins. 

419
00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:04,480
I also need to look for it was a
bluey pin was spotted in Disney 

420
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:09,280
World and so I got to see if 
they have in Disneyland and 

421
00:26:09,280 --> 00:26:11,320
Mickey and Minnie are in special
outfits. 

422
00:26:11,520 --> 00:26:14,880
Which is kind of like the the 
color schemes like the original 

423
00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,040
California. 
Adventurous and very vibrant. 

424
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:22,360
Lots of oranges and yellows. 
I'm hoping, I'm hoping they have

425
00:26:22,360 --> 00:26:26,000
a a mini plush in the in that 
because they usually have a 

426
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:34,400
plush they have, you know, 
usually a plush of Mickey and 

427
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:40,240
Minnie in the whatever 
anniversary costumes, you know, 

428
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:42,840
So I kind of want to go one of 
those. 

429
00:26:42,840 --> 00:26:44,520
I also have to get my 70th 
years. 

430
00:26:44,960 --> 00:26:47,800
Oh, that's right, yeah. 
Gotten years for the 70th and 

431
00:26:47,800 --> 00:26:49,520
this. 
Well we might go one more time 

432
00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:53,160
for the 70th but there's a few 
different ones. 

433
00:26:53,160 --> 00:26:56,880
I don't know which ones I want, 
so I need to figure that out. 

434
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:02,920
And they're also doing and a 
special D-23 panel. 

435
00:27:02,960 --> 00:27:04,040
Oh, that's right. 
Oh, that's. 

436
00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:13,360
Right, which I'm going to on on 
one of the days there D 23 

437
00:27:13,360 --> 00:27:18,560
they're doing a special 25th 
anniversary panel of the with 

438
00:27:18,560 --> 00:27:22,080
imagineers with about California
adventure and it's going to be 

439
00:27:22,080 --> 00:27:25,560
at the Disneyland hotel. 
So I'll be there, reporting live

440
00:27:25,560 --> 00:27:26,560
are. 
You going to go live? 

441
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,520
No, I can't go live. 
I can't go live. 

442
00:27:28,520 --> 00:27:34,040
No, I'm just I will figure out a
way to where I can take notes 

443
00:27:34,640 --> 00:27:37,120
and report back. 
Yeah, I don't know what I'm 

444
00:27:37,120 --> 00:27:39,680
going to do. 
I guess just take the kids into 

445
00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:40,520
the park. 
Yeah. 

446
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,560
What time is? 
That it's like 3:30 in the 

447
00:27:45,560 --> 00:27:47,040
afternoon. 
OK. 

448
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,880
It's on our Disneyland day. 
On our Disneyland day. 

449
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:53,600
OK, so I got to figure that out.
What am I going to do with four 

450
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:57,640
kids by myself in Disneyland? 
That should be fun. 

451
00:27:57,920 --> 00:27:59,360
I really thought about that too 
much. 

452
00:28:01,160 --> 00:28:02,760
That's all right. 
The two oldest ones are fine. 

453
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,960
I can send them I don't want. 
To do whatever they want. 

454
00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:08,560
No, no, they have to stay with 
me. 

455
00:28:09,480 --> 00:28:12,600
We did. 
Our last trip, it was like we 

456
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:15,000
finally let like our oldest. 
Well, it was when we were at 

457
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:16,920
Disney World, we let him go do a
few things. 

458
00:28:16,920 --> 00:28:20,640
And then our last trip, we even 
let him like I think we were at 

459
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:22,560
the hotel, weren't we? 
And we let him go back in. 

460
00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:25,200
To the party. 
I don't. 

461
00:28:25,400 --> 00:28:26,720
I know. 
I don't think so. 

462
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:28,800
No, we let him do something on 
his own. 

463
00:28:29,760 --> 00:28:32,200
I don't remember. 
We did. 

464
00:28:32,200 --> 00:28:37,000
We let him do something. 
But I mean, he is 15 1/2. 

465
00:28:37,320 --> 00:28:41,160
And it's like you think about 
it, I went on a field trip as a 

466
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:45,560
freshman and we were walking 
around without an adult. 

467
00:28:45,560 --> 00:28:50,640
But it just still feels weird as
a parent to be like, sure, it's 

468
00:28:50,640 --> 00:28:53,880
just weird. 
But but yeah, so I'm really 

469
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:55,160
excited. 
I'm excited about Sauron over 

470
00:28:55,160 --> 00:28:57,040
California. 
I think we might get our 

471
00:28:57,040 --> 00:29:00,360
daughter on it, she said. 
She told me maybe. 

472
00:29:00,360 --> 00:29:01,400
Oh. 
She's Oh, really? 

473
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:03,400
We were on someone's live and 
they were. 

474
00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:08,640
It was over the world in Epcot. 
But she was like, I might do 

475
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:10,320
that. 
Because. 

476
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,240
That would be fun. 
Because flip out once we walk, 

477
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,200
walk in there and then one of us
are going to have to be like, 

478
00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:18,240
OK, we're not going to go on it 
and one of us is going to be 

479
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:20,760
upset, no. 
And irritated I won't be upset 

480
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,480
because I already. 
Know because you're going to 

481
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:25,280
make me be the one that's. 
Six. 

482
00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:31,360
No, No, because I've been on 
this a billion gazillion times. 

483
00:29:31,360 --> 00:29:35,120
And I know we could ask the 
person, we could ask the cast 

484
00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:37,680
member, like, well, she'll freak
out right there. 

485
00:29:39,000 --> 00:29:42,680
So it's not like we're going to 
be all the way through. 

486
00:29:42,680 --> 00:29:44,160
And then we didn't get a rider 
swap. 

487
00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,280
She'll start panicking right 
when we get in line if she's 

488
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,200
going to panic. 
So we can say, hey, can we get a

489
00:29:49,200 --> 00:29:51,200
rider swap? 
Yeah. 

490
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:54,200
And then I'll I'll go on it and 
one of the. 

491
00:29:54,200 --> 00:29:57,200
I'm sure the the the cast 
members too at the at the end of

492
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:00,040
line they can do it. 
I think they did that for US. 

493
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:04,280
One time she she got scared when
we were like up to a ride and 

494
00:30:04,280 --> 00:30:07,040
they said, oh, you can just wait
on the other side or something 

495
00:30:07,560 --> 00:30:09,320
and then I could get back on or 
something. 

496
00:30:09,320 --> 00:30:15,240
I think they let me. 
I don't remember, but we'll see.

497
00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:17,080
It would be fun. 
I she already saw that it 

498
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,560
doesn't go fast. 
Yeah, you know, she saw that I 

499
00:30:19,560 --> 00:30:22,960
was like, it doesn't go fast, so
we'll see. 

500
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:25,360
It would be fun because then we 
could we could all go together. 

501
00:30:25,360 --> 00:30:28,840
We all go together, which we 
have yet to be able to. 

502
00:30:29,080 --> 00:30:31,000
No, we did. 
We did Big Thunder and she 

503
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:31,760
didn't. 
That's right. 

504
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,080
She went on it and she made it 
all the way through. 

505
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:34,600
We. 
Needed to. 

506
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:36,640
We needed to do cars. 
She didn't do cars all. 

507
00:30:36,640 --> 00:30:38,600
She will not like cars. 
I know it's too loud. 

508
00:30:39,960 --> 00:30:42,400
It's too loud I. 
Maybe Star Tours? 

509
00:30:43,200 --> 00:30:46,280
She won't like that either. 
She won't like that either. 

510
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:48,320
Well, you know, maybe we just 
need to force her. 

511
00:30:48,520 --> 00:30:52,520
No, we do you remember how we 
forced our oldest and then for 

512
00:30:52,520 --> 00:30:54,720
years? 
Our *. 

513
00:30:54,760 --> 00:30:58,640
Wars obsessed son would not go 
on Star Tours for years. 

514
00:30:58,760 --> 00:31:01,000
Maybe she'll go on Rise. 
Well, Rise is close. 

515
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:05,440
Maybe she'll go on Guardians 
Mission breakout. 

516
00:31:05,560 --> 00:31:08,040
You know, she is tall enough. 
Yeah, she is tall enough. 

517
00:31:08,760 --> 00:31:13,520
No, we do have one of our boys 
who is. 

518
00:31:14,320 --> 00:31:17,720
So one of the three boys has 
been on Sauron. 

519
00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:23,560
I mean, Sauron in credit Coaster
loves it. 

520
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,160
Our nine year old wants to go on
it. 

521
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:29,360
He's like, I'm doing it. 
So I think he's going to love 

522
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:35,040
it. 
Our 15 1/2 year old is undecided

523
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:39,400
about it because he doesn't like
he gets dizzy really easily but 

524
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:40,200
we went. 
On he. 

525
00:31:40,760 --> 00:31:44,680
Doesn't like this, but we went 
on a roller coaster in SeaWorld 

526
00:31:45,320 --> 00:31:47,680
and I was with him and I kept 
being like, are you OK? 

527
00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:49,400
Are you OK? 
Because he has a tendency to 

528
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:51,920
pass out. 
He hasn't done it in years. 

529
00:31:51,920 --> 00:31:53,800
I think he's grown out. 
Of it, I think he's grown out of

530
00:31:53,800 --> 00:31:58,240
it, but it's like stuck in his 
head and I'm like, well, we got 

531
00:31:58,240 --> 00:31:59,640
to test it out at some point, 
buddy. 

532
00:31:59,640 --> 00:32:02,080
Like I, I think you've grown out
of it. 

533
00:32:02,080 --> 00:32:03,760
You haven't passed out in a 
really long time. 

534
00:32:03,760 --> 00:32:05,680
But he's super sensitive to like
spinning. 

535
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,280
Like we would play Marco Polo 
when he was younger in a pool 

536
00:32:08,800 --> 00:32:11,120
and whoever was it would have to
like close their eyes and like, 

537
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:12,480
you know, turn around in 
circles. 

538
00:32:12,480 --> 00:32:15,160
He couldn't do it. 
So he was the only one who was 

539
00:32:15,160 --> 00:32:18,160
allowed to not turn in circles 
while counting because he'd get 

540
00:32:18,160 --> 00:32:21,800
too dizzy. 
But I'm like, I think you can do

541
00:32:21,800 --> 00:32:24,400
it if you did this other one in 
SeaWorld, He he liked it. 

542
00:32:24,680 --> 00:32:27,960
He'll be fine. 
Like, I think so he might do it.

543
00:32:31,320 --> 00:32:34,480
They do. 
The other two boys do not at all

544
00:32:34,480 --> 00:32:37,200
want to do mission breakout. 
Like they're like, no, we're our

545
00:32:37,200 --> 00:32:39,160
nine year old. 
It's one of his favorite rides. 

546
00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:43,840
But the other two are like, the 
older ones are like, no, our 

547
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,600
almost 13 year old. 
He hates the feeling of 

548
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,680
butterflies. 
Yeah, but he loves in credit. 

549
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,800
Coaster, but like, he hates the 
feeling of butterflies. 

550
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:57,200
So I'm like, well, yeah, that's 
like all that's all butterflies.

551
00:33:02,080 --> 00:33:05,040
Our friend Rich Rod on Tiktok 
says only roller coaster all go 

552
00:33:05,040 --> 00:33:08,800
on is Chippendale. 
Gadget Coaster. 

553
00:33:11,520 --> 00:33:13,920
So yeah, so we'll see. 
I'm excited about that. 

554
00:33:13,920 --> 00:33:19,240
I'm I'm we used to have this 
rule as the boys were getting 

555
00:33:19,240 --> 00:33:21,760
older, like they had to try a 
new ride each time we went. 

556
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,920
But now the only one that's 
left, except for Incredi Coaster

557
00:33:24,920 --> 00:33:27,880
for two of the boys. 
The only one that's left for the

558
00:33:27,880 --> 00:33:30,840
boys anyway, is Mission. 
Breakout and I was just pretty 

559
00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,000
intense. 
I would never force them to do 

560
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:37,520
that because. 
It took me till I was 22. 

561
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:40,160
Well, it was your first time 
there, so it's not like you 

562
00:33:40,160 --> 00:33:41,880
didn't go on. 
It was your first time going to 

563
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:45,040
Disneyland. 
Well, kind of. 

564
00:33:45,200 --> 00:33:47,160
But California adventure. 
California adventure. 

565
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:53,120
But well, and also it's like, 
even like space or Star Tours, 

566
00:33:53,240 --> 00:33:56,200
like you think, oh, it's not 
that bad. 

567
00:33:56,440 --> 00:34:02,080
But the first time I went on it,
so it would have been the, the 

568
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:04,040
our youngest boys first time on 
it. 

569
00:34:04,360 --> 00:34:09,239
You don't realize how intense it
is for like a little person 

570
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:12,600
until you're with them and, and 
seeing it through their eyes and

571
00:34:12,600 --> 00:34:14,760
they're like, oh, wow, this is 
moving more than I thought. 

572
00:34:14,760 --> 00:34:18,080
And this is a little more 
intense than I thought, 'cause 

573
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,239
he was like, I remember having 
to like, hold him back, 'cause 

574
00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:23,760
he was moving a whole lot more 
than I was and be like, oh, OK, 

575
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:29,199
You know, you think it's like, 
not that big of a deal, but Star

576
00:34:29,199 --> 00:34:33,639
Tours is scary, makes you dizzy.
I could see that I. 

577
00:34:33,679 --> 00:34:37,880
Could see people get OnStar 
tours. 

578
00:34:37,880 --> 00:34:42,679
The older I get the more the 
easier I get. 

579
00:34:42,679 --> 00:34:45,679
Like motion sick with 3D and 
stuff which really stinks. 

580
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:49,360
I this is not Disneyland but I 
forgot to tell you this. 

581
00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:53,600
Someone told me a while back 
that they went they were in 

582
00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:56,800
Epcot and they did the Remy's 2D
'cause now it's 2D and they said

583
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:59,240
it was way better. 
They thought the experience. 

584
00:34:59,240 --> 00:35:00,800
Oh you mean like the ride is 
better? 

585
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,880
The ride was way better AS2D 
that they look like you could 

586
00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:05,720
see better and that it was way 
better. 

587
00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:09,400
Also, the Remy fountain froze 
today did. 

588
00:35:09,400 --> 00:35:10,880
You. 
I saw that, yeah. 

589
00:35:10,880 --> 00:35:13,080
It's super cold in Florida right
now. 

590
00:35:13,480 --> 00:35:16,000
Also a froze. 
A froze. 

591
00:35:16,200 --> 00:35:22,880
A pipe froze for The Lion King 
show in animal Kingdom and it 

592
00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:26,000
burst and water went everywhere.
Oh man, for a festival of Lion 

593
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:27,240
King. 
That's crazy. 

594
00:35:27,480 --> 00:35:31,760
Also another Disney World. 
Lando's just not used to getting

595
00:35:31,760 --> 00:35:33,360
that cold I. 
Know Orlando doesn't know what 

596
00:35:33,360 --> 00:35:40,200
to do. 
Another Disney World thing. 

597
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,680
Today was the last day of 
Dinosaur. 

598
00:35:46,760 --> 00:35:50,120
That's right, yeah. 
And so Dinoland is closing. 

599
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:54,160
Dinosaur is no more. 
Turned into an Indiana Jones 

600
00:35:54,160 --> 00:35:57,560
ride. 
And our friend Kid Fun Florida 

601
00:35:57,560 --> 00:36:02,920
was there today and he saw the 
line get up to 265 minutes. 

602
00:36:02,920 --> 00:36:05,120
I saw someone post about that, 
that's crazy. 

603
00:36:05,520 --> 00:36:08,840
That's over 4 hours for 
dinosaur. 

604
00:36:10,480 --> 00:36:13,840
Which is not great of AI. 
Was saying this the other day on

605
00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:15,720
TikTok that I'm like I don't 
like dinosaur and people are 

606
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:17,720
like so you don't like Indiana 
Jones and I'm like no I love 

607
00:36:17,720 --> 00:36:19,320
Indiana. 
Jones, it's not. 

608
00:36:19,320 --> 00:36:23,960
Like Indiana Jones, it's the 
same car and the same track, but

609
00:36:23,960 --> 00:36:28,520
it's nothing like Indiana. 
Jones not as immersive and like 

610
00:36:28,680 --> 00:36:32,360
when you go on Indiana Jones, 
it's like you go into this cave 

611
00:36:32,360 --> 00:36:33,560
and it's well. 
And you can see the. 

612
00:36:33,640 --> 00:36:37,240
Pyrotechnics and everything. 
And it's just like, so like, Oh 

613
00:36:37,240 --> 00:36:39,600
my gosh, look at all this in 
dinosaur. 

614
00:36:39,600 --> 00:36:41,360
You're like going through these 
like I couldn't. 

615
00:36:42,320 --> 00:36:47,560
I know I'm old but it was like 
too dark and then ride photo I'm

616
00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:51,240
like. 
They do get you a good they do 

617
00:36:51,240 --> 00:36:54,880
get a good jump scare at the. 
I have been on Dinosaur once. 

618
00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:57,600
I will only go on it once 
because it is closed now. 

619
00:36:57,920 --> 00:37:00,000
So that was my true honest 
reaction. 

620
00:37:00,000 --> 00:37:04,320
I knew nothing about the ride. 
It's a great ride photo. 

621
00:37:04,320 --> 00:37:10,680
It's one of our best. 
But yeah, I I'm like, but I 

622
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,520
guess it's nostalgic. 
Like so I was talking about last

623
00:37:13,520 --> 00:37:16,720
day for Splash Mountain and how 
would I have waited 4 hours if 

624
00:37:16,720 --> 00:37:20,000
we didn't have Lightning Lane? 
I would have for Splash 

625
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:21,760
Mountain. 
I would have gotten a snack or 

626
00:37:21,760 --> 00:37:25,800
several, probably several. 
Well, I think didn't get up. 

627
00:37:25,920 --> 00:37:28,680
Oh, it got up definitely on the 
last day, Yeah. 

628
00:37:28,680 --> 00:37:30,640
That's why I was saying we rope 
dropped it and then we had our 

629
00:37:30,640 --> 00:37:33,200
lightning lane for later in the 
day and then the we didn't try 

630
00:37:33,200 --> 00:37:35,760
to go on it again and we thought
maybe we would, but then we were

631
00:37:35,760 --> 00:37:37,720
like, no, let's just go do other
stuff. 

632
00:37:40,360 --> 00:37:43,240
But yeah, I'm excited for the 
things they're getting over 

633
00:37:43,240 --> 00:37:45,360
there. 
I'm excited about Monstropolis. 

634
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:46,600
Yeah, that's going to be so 
awesome. 

635
00:37:46,880 --> 00:37:49,440
I really hope we find out do. 
You know they're making Hairy 

636
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,160
Hausens the restaurant. 
Nice, nice. 

637
00:37:53,400 --> 00:38:02,320
I really hope we find out what 
the opening day is for that, 

638
00:38:02,320 --> 00:38:05,240
even though it's going to be 
insane because we want to go the

639
00:38:05,240 --> 00:38:08,640
summer of 27th and it's saying 
that they're going to open 

640
00:38:08,640 --> 00:38:13,080
sometime around that in 27. 
But it's like if we plan a trip 

641
00:38:13,080 --> 00:38:16,760
for like June and then they're 
like, we opened in August, but I

642
00:38:16,760 --> 00:38:18,480
don't think we could even do it 
in August. 

643
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,080
They're going to open at a time 
when they're not going to open 

644
00:38:21,080 --> 00:38:23,120
at like a downtime where 
everybody's, it's going to be a 

645
00:38:23,120 --> 00:38:24,280
school. 
They're going to want to open 

646
00:38:24,280 --> 00:38:27,920
when it's going to be true more 
people are available to go. 

647
00:38:27,920 --> 00:38:31,640
So true because. 
We want to go before our oldest 

648
00:38:31,640 --> 00:38:35,200
starts his senior year and it's 
not like we can. 

649
00:38:35,600 --> 00:38:38,600
Which is next year. 
Your mouth. 27. 

650
00:38:38,800 --> 00:38:42,360
Shut your mouth, fall, fall. 
We've got a year and a half. 

651
00:38:43,320 --> 00:38:45,920
Late summer 20. 20 I don't want 
to talk about it right now, 

652
00:38:45,920 --> 00:38:47,160
please, I don't want to talk 
about it. 

653
00:38:47,160 --> 00:38:49,760
He already is getting doing 
driver's training and I don't 

654
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:53,160
want to talk about that anyways.
So that's what's coming to 

655
00:38:53,160 --> 00:38:55,960
Disney's California Adventure. 
I'm really excited. 

656
00:38:55,960 --> 00:38:58,440
I know it's fun. 
Not even that much, but it's 

657
00:38:58,440 --> 00:39:01,640
just, I don't know, I'm just for
some reason, whatever reason, I 

658
00:39:01,640 --> 00:39:03,280
don't care why, I'm just 
excited. 

659
00:39:03,280 --> 00:39:04,160
It's nice to be excited. 
Nice. 

660
00:39:06,360 --> 00:39:07,600
To be excited about something, 
it's just. 

661
00:39:07,600 --> 00:39:09,480
Nice for something to make me 
happy. 

662
00:39:12,600 --> 00:39:18,280
Yeah. 
So we'll report back about what 

663
00:39:18,280 --> 00:39:20,960
we do without early entry. 
I know everyone's just wondering

664
00:39:20,960 --> 00:39:23,160
and so worried about us, like 
what are we going to do? 

665
00:39:23,840 --> 00:39:27,600
Yeah, everybody, it's going to 
be like free for all for 

666
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:30,160
everyone. 
Like what should we rope drop? 

667
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:34,720
I think, I think our. 
Strategy Rope Drop I. 

668
00:39:34,760 --> 00:39:39,480
Think our strategy, I think our 
strategy should be get a 

669
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:45,840
Lightning lane, but I think we 
should what no. 

670
00:39:46,360 --> 00:39:47,800
No. 
Well, yeah, you said it like. 

671
00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,240
Well, I wasn't finished. 
Oh, sorry. 

672
00:39:51,400 --> 00:39:55,560
Get Lightning Lane. 
But don't churn. 

673
00:39:56,600 --> 00:39:58,800
I think we should. 
We should. 

674
00:39:58,840 --> 00:40:03,040
We should stack for the 
afternoon so crowds are 

675
00:40:03,040 --> 00:40:04,960
naturally lighter in the 
morning. 

676
00:40:05,280 --> 00:40:07,920
OK. 
So we buy Lightning Lane in the 

677
00:40:07,920 --> 00:40:11,440
morning, we get our first 
selection, but we don't use it 

678
00:40:12,360 --> 00:40:16,520
that morning. 
Wait, I'm sorry, we get. 

679
00:40:16,520 --> 00:40:19,320
We get lightning light, we get 
get our first selection. 

680
00:40:19,320 --> 00:40:24,080
So we say we get there at 8:00, 
we get our first selection, but 

681
00:40:24,360 --> 00:40:27,040
we pick, say, say we get Space 
Mountain. 

682
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:28,920
But we get it for her in the 
afternoon. 

683
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:33,800
Well, obviously it's going to be
early because if it opens at 

684
00:40:33,800 --> 00:40:35,640
8:00, it's probably going to be 
like at 8:30. 

685
00:40:35,640 --> 00:40:38,280
You can't choose your time. 
You can't choose your time, So 

686
00:40:38,280 --> 00:40:40,800
what you do is you. 
You. 

687
00:40:41,920 --> 00:40:50,160
What's the word not re book but 
you adjust you adjust it so you.

688
00:40:50,200 --> 00:40:51,480
Oh, so you keep like modifying 
it you. 

689
00:40:51,480 --> 00:40:54,560
Keep modifying it till later, 
later, you know, a little bit 

690
00:40:54,560 --> 00:40:56,800
and then you wait another two 
hours and then you get your 

691
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:58,720
another one. 
You keep modifying them later 

692
00:40:58,720 --> 00:41:02,280
into the afternoon because if 
you're just using that, if 

693
00:41:02,280 --> 00:41:05,760
you're just churning in the 
morning, really you're kind of 

694
00:41:05,760 --> 00:41:10,200
wasting it. 
So because because in the 

695
00:41:10,200 --> 00:41:14,960
morning crowds are lighter in 
the morning, you can do much 

696
00:41:14,960 --> 00:41:19,480
more in the morning than you can
in the afternoon, or you focus 

697
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,960
on doing rides that don't have 
Lightning Lane. 

698
00:41:22,880 --> 00:41:26,320
So, so, so say we get Space 
Mountain. 

699
00:41:26,480 --> 00:41:30,120
It's at 8:30, but we keep 
modifying it, you know, every so

700
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:34,200
often into the afternoon. 
And so we do like, you know, 

701
00:41:34,240 --> 00:41:36,720
fantasy land the rides. 
So we start with fantasy. 

702
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:38,560
We start with fantasy land. 
Which is what I used to do. 

703
00:41:38,680 --> 00:41:41,680
Which we do all those because 
those don't have Lightning Lane 

704
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:46,960
and they're usually less crowded
in the morning Fantasyland as 

705
00:41:46,960 --> 00:41:49,120
opposed to later in the 
afternoon when everybody shows 

706
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:51,400
up. 
So then what do we? 

707
00:41:51,440 --> 00:41:54,200
OK, wait real quick. 
Though, and so every every two 

708
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:57,160
hours you pick your next 
lightning lane, you keep 

709
00:41:57,160 --> 00:42:00,440
modifying it to the afternoon. 
So that way when you get to the 

710
00:42:00,440 --> 00:42:07,360
late afternoon, 3/4, 5:00, then 
you have a nice stack of 

711
00:42:07,520 --> 00:42:10,160
lightning lanes that you can do 
in the evening. 

712
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,600
But I know what you're getting 
at. 

713
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:15,800
Then you we have parades and you
have fireworks and that other 

714
00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:17,480
stuff that you don't want to get
in the way. 

715
00:42:17,480 --> 00:42:19,880
No, that's not what I was. 
OK, I was thinking a couple 

716
00:42:19,880 --> 00:42:22,800
things. 
OK, we have a few things, Steph 

717
00:42:22,800 --> 00:42:24,240
says. 
There's a chance it'll be sold 

718
00:42:24,240 --> 00:42:25,480
out. 
That doesn't happen as much in 

719
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:28,600
Disneyland as Disney World. 
There's a chance of what sold 

720
00:42:28,600 --> 00:42:29,480
out. 
Your lightning lane. 

721
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:32,880
What if you? 
If you keep modifying, there's a

722
00:42:32,880 --> 00:42:34,360
chance it sells out by the 
afternoon. 

723
00:42:34,920 --> 00:42:37,920
That doesn't happen as much. 
Not as much as Disneyland. 

724
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:41,520
In Disneyland, as it does in 
Disney World, I really like Mr. 

725
00:42:41,520 --> 00:42:44,480
Bluff saying I challenge you to 
let the kids lead. 

726
00:42:44,600 --> 00:42:46,560
I promise you will not be 
disappointed. 

727
00:42:47,480 --> 00:42:50,440
That would be a fun thing to do,
which we do definitely like. 

728
00:42:50,440 --> 00:42:52,160
We'll ask. 
Them well, it's kind of hard 

729
00:42:52,160 --> 00:42:54,640
when you have 4 kids and they 
all want to do 4 different 

730
00:42:54,640 --> 00:42:57,840
things. 
That's true too, but here's what

731
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:00,040
I'm thinking. 
I could do that when you're at 

732
00:43:00,040 --> 00:43:02,360
the panel. 
Oh yeah, yeah. 

733
00:43:02,600 --> 00:43:05,800
So that, but that's what I'm 
thinking our first full day, 

734
00:43:06,920 --> 00:43:08,240
you're not going to be with us 
in the. 

735
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:10,440
Afternoon, No. 
Then maybe we have to turn that.

736
00:43:10,440 --> 00:43:13,920
Day, that strategy won't work on
Saturday because you are going 

737
00:43:13,920 --> 00:43:17,800
to the panel. 
So we could try to two different

738
00:43:17,800 --> 00:43:22,000
strategies and report back. 
So we could try the churning in 

739
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:23,440
the morning and then in the 
afternoon. 

740
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:27,520
When I'm there with the kids, I 
can let them lead, although I'll

741
00:43:28,280 --> 00:43:32,880
let them take turns. 
Each gets split up two and two. 

742
00:43:33,720 --> 00:43:39,880
Mr. Blev has four kids too. 
So because obviously our 

743
00:43:39,880 --> 00:43:43,920
daughter who is 4 1/2 is not 
going to want to do the same 

744
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:48,600
things as the 15 1/2 year old, 
but I let them take turns. 

745
00:43:48,600 --> 00:43:51,760
OK, now you choose what we get 
to do within reason. 

746
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,080
Because if they're like, let's 
go wait on rise and it's a 2 

747
00:43:54,080 --> 00:43:55,920
hour, oh, it's close, it's 
closed. 

748
00:43:56,840 --> 00:43:59,000
Good. 
Good I. 

749
00:43:59,040 --> 00:44:01,040
Think I will do that though. 
I think I'll do that. 

750
00:44:01,440 --> 00:44:05,560
But Saturday I do want to get a 
good spot because I was going to

751
00:44:05,560 --> 00:44:08,560
live stream. 
I'm not going to go live a lot, 

752
00:44:08,560 --> 00:44:11,640
but I was going to live stream 
the parade and the fireworks. 

753
00:44:12,400 --> 00:44:15,240
So I wanted to get a good spot 
for the parade that is easy than

754
00:44:15,240 --> 00:44:20,280
to move up a bit for the 
fireworks because it's Wondrous 

755
00:44:20,280 --> 00:44:22,000
Journeys. 
A lot of our Disney World 

756
00:44:22,000 --> 00:44:25,800
friends that come into the lives
have not seen Wondrous Journeys.

757
00:44:25,960 --> 00:44:29,040
Well, maybe they have on YT or 
something. 

758
00:44:29,040 --> 00:44:32,520
But your youngest is 10. 
Yeah. 

759
00:44:32,520 --> 00:44:37,440
So I'd I'd have to, you know, I 
mean, they'll do it like the 

760
00:44:37,440 --> 00:44:39,680
older boys will do the small 
rides with her. 

761
00:44:39,680 --> 00:44:43,920
Like they're not like no. 
But as they get older, we have 

762
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:46,440
seen that where like especially 
the two oldest that are 

763
00:44:46,440 --> 00:44:50,760
teenagers, it's like they want 
to go do just the bigger rides. 

764
00:44:51,840 --> 00:44:55,440
But I will preface this with we 
all get a turn and we're doing 

765
00:44:55,440 --> 00:44:57,680
it as a family and we're going 
to have fun. 

766
00:44:58,400 --> 00:45:02,600
I think another thing we should 
do is also we need to do the 

767
00:45:02,600 --> 00:45:08,200
galaxy's edge fireworks. 
Right, which we won't do. 

768
00:45:08,200 --> 00:45:09,440
I don't want to do that 
Saturday. 

769
00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,360
I really want to see. 
Murderous journeys because we do

770
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:12,400
that seen. 
It in a while. 

771
00:45:12,760 --> 00:45:17,360
Monday we're not saying dates, 
sorry I. 

772
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,880
Did though, because you said the
panel. 

773
00:45:18,920 --> 00:45:23,640
Oh yeah. 
But anyways, because there's 

774
00:45:23,640 --> 00:45:25,760
there's two things. 
I mean, the, I think the boy, 

775
00:45:25,840 --> 00:45:28,840
they've seen this, they haven't 
seen the newer Star Wars. 

776
00:45:29,280 --> 00:45:31,880
We did it once, but they didn't 
have projections. 

777
00:45:32,120 --> 00:45:34,640
Now they have projections. 
So they haven't seen that 

778
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:35,760
version, no. 
I. 

779
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:41,680
Think we definitely, definitely 
do that and there's also the the

780
00:45:41,680 --> 00:45:44,280
the projection show. 
So there's two different shows 

781
00:45:44,280 --> 00:45:47,320
that galaxies that shares the 
fireworks with projections. 

782
00:45:47,840 --> 00:45:53,440
And then there's also the the 
the projection show. 

783
00:45:54,120 --> 00:45:57,200
It's like the Skywalker saga 
something. 

784
00:45:57,200 --> 00:45:59,440
It's like the. 
Is that Lady or is it after the 

785
00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:02,200
fireworks? 
Or it's before and after. 

786
00:46:02,560 --> 00:46:05,000
Oh, OK, I say. 
They're just the fireworks. 

787
00:46:05,560 --> 00:46:06,800
But it's cool. 
OK. 

788
00:46:08,200 --> 00:46:14,480
Don't roll your eyes at me, no. 
No, no, no. 

789
00:46:14,480 --> 00:46:17,640
I think we should do that one of
the days, but I want to get 

790
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:20,600
Winter's Journeys because you 
know how at first we didn't like

791
00:46:20,600 --> 00:46:22,760
Winter's Journeys. 
We were like, it's not as good 

792
00:46:22,760 --> 00:46:25,960
as Disneyland's 60th to us, in 
our opinion, or Disneyland 

793
00:46:25,960 --> 00:46:30,600
forever. 
But then it really grew on us. 

794
00:46:31,120 --> 00:46:34,960
And I think it was last week I 
was in somebody's live where 

795
00:46:34,960 --> 00:46:37,280
they were in Disneyland, and it 
was wondrous journeys. 

796
00:46:37,280 --> 00:46:41,000
And I was like, I miss this 
because I've been in Mr. 

797
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:42,920
Sprinkles Live so much, or Main 
St. 

798
00:46:42,920 --> 00:46:46,560
Voyager, like watching happily 
ever after, which I love happily

799
00:46:46,560 --> 00:46:49,520
ever after, but I was like, I 
forgot Wondrous Journeys is 

800
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:52,120
really good. 
Like it's really good. 

801
00:46:52,120 --> 00:46:54,400
So I'm excited to see that. 
And of course, paint the night 

802
00:46:54,400 --> 00:46:55,600
because it is our favorite 
parade. 

803
00:46:56,720 --> 00:47:03,840
So I'm excited for that. 
And then for the good California

804
00:47:03,840 --> 00:47:07,320
adventure stuff, I feel like I'm
going to be stressed out getting

805
00:47:07,320 --> 00:47:10,520
the new merch. 
There's also the Starbucks 

806
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:13,480
merch. 
Oh man. 

807
00:47:13,560 --> 00:47:17,560
There's the Starbucks merch, the
latte, good days and lattes or 

808
00:47:17,560 --> 00:47:19,920
whatever. 
Park days, park days and lattes.

809
00:47:20,240 --> 00:47:27,840
There is a tote that I want. 
Oh goodness, so much money. 

810
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:29,680
It's so much money. 
It's so much money. 

811
00:47:34,600 --> 00:47:36,680
Man, man. 
Anyways. 

812
00:47:36,960 --> 00:47:39,120
And then we have our character 
breakfast our last day. 

813
00:47:39,160 --> 00:47:40,680
That's right. 
Which I'm excited about because 

814
00:47:40,680 --> 00:47:42,880
we've never done a character 
breakfast in Disneyland, only in

815
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:44,960
Disney World. 
Storytellers Cafe. 

816
00:47:45,360 --> 00:47:47,480
Storytellers Cafe, which we hear
is the the. 

817
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:51,640
Best. 
The best, yes. 

818
00:47:51,640 --> 00:47:54,480
The cups are really cute as well
for the park days and lattes, 

819
00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:59,520
Yes, I want them all. 
I want them all. 

820
00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:02,200
It's going to be a rough. 
It's going to be a rough 

821
00:48:02,200 --> 00:48:07,080
merchandise choice for me this 
go around it. 

822
00:48:07,160 --> 00:48:10,240
I mean, most of the time it is. 
Sometimes it's not as hard, like

823
00:48:10,240 --> 00:48:14,600
sometimes I'm like, but Tim 
needs three jobs. 

824
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:19,880
Just just for those totes. 
I know those doonies. 

825
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:25,800
Hey, I'm working here too. 
I'm not getting up at 5:00 AM 

826
00:48:25,800 --> 00:48:28,240
every day for the. 
Fun of you earn those doonies. 

827
00:48:29,840 --> 00:48:32,760
It is fun, but I mean like, 
really, would I be getting up at

828
00:48:32,760 --> 00:48:38,440
5:00 AM if I wasn't trying to? 
Anyways, I'm excited about 

829
00:48:38,440 --> 00:48:43,360
Storytellers Cafe. 
Yeah, Yeah, all of us seem to be

830
00:48:43,360 --> 00:48:46,120
healthy for that because if 
we're going to be spending that 

831
00:48:46,120 --> 00:48:52,040
type of cash for, you know, 
character buffet breakfast, I 

832
00:48:52,040 --> 00:48:52,760
want to. 
Because. 

833
00:48:53,360 --> 00:49:01,840
Because oh, I Mr. Bluff, I found
the 70th. 

834
00:49:01,840 --> 00:49:05,560
So the ones that match this bag,
the ears that match that bag, 

835
00:49:05,560 --> 00:49:14,640
I'm not going to be able to say 
it M what is it called? 

836
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:21,440
Hang on Mer, It's like a resale.
You know it's. 

837
00:49:21,440 --> 00:49:22,800
A resale site. 
Like Posh? 

838
00:49:22,960 --> 00:49:25,880
OK. 
Where I got the other one 

839
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:33,520
MERCARI for a very good price. 
It was like more than 50%. 

840
00:49:33,520 --> 00:49:39,160
Did I buy them? 
No, but I want to anyways. 

841
00:49:39,160 --> 00:49:41,560
Where's our friend Dan Pova 
Meyer? 

842
00:49:43,280 --> 00:49:44,800
He hasn't been in a while. 
I know. 

843
00:49:44,800 --> 00:49:46,120
Maybe he's watching from the 
FYP. 

844
00:49:46,120 --> 00:49:47,480
Hey, Dan. 
Hey, Dan. 

845
00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:53,040
Yeah, he hasn't been in in a 
while, but he's busy. 

846
00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:55,640
There's a new season that just 
came out or new episodes that 

847
00:49:55,640 --> 00:49:56,920
just came out of Phineas and 
Ferb. 

848
00:49:57,560 --> 00:50:03,480
So he's busy. 
But Dan, if you see us from the 

849
00:50:03,480 --> 00:50:06,520
FYP, we miss you. 
Or you listen to the podcasts. 

850
00:50:06,520 --> 00:50:07,760
Or if you listen to the podcast,
we'd. 

851
00:50:07,760 --> 00:50:10,800
Love to have you as a guest, you
know, talk. 

852
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:14,520
Phineas and Ferb appreciate you 
coming in and talking. 

853
00:50:14,600 --> 00:50:20,120
We love Phineas and Ferb, but 
yeah, so the the buffet because 

854
00:50:20,120 --> 00:50:22,480
when we were in Disney World 
last year getting over being 

855
00:50:22,480 --> 00:50:26,280
sick and we had Woody's roundup 
or a roundup rodeo. 

856
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:28,520
Which was? 
Really good and they were not 

857
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:31,400
hungry. 
And then Cape May, which was 

858
00:50:31,400 --> 00:50:33,320
really good and the kids were 
not hungry. 

859
00:50:33,320 --> 00:50:37,120
It was also at the end of our 
trip and so like I was stuffed 

860
00:50:37,760 --> 00:50:38,720
and. 
Not Roundup. 

861
00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:41,200
Roundup Rodeo was the first day.
Yeah, so. 

862
00:50:41,240 --> 00:50:44,120
They were like. 
I was like, I because I was 

863
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,920
looking forward to it, but I was
like full. 

864
00:50:45,920 --> 00:50:50,360
I was like, I was like bloated 
and like I want to be more. 

865
00:50:50,440 --> 00:50:53,240
I and I was getting over a cold,
but I have to be like on my 

866
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:55,080
deathbed to not eat a bunch of 
breakfast food. 

867
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:56,400
Like I don't know what could 
stop me. 

868
00:50:56,400 --> 00:51:00,760
Like I was like give it all and 
I had zip lock bags and I took 

869
00:51:00,920 --> 00:51:04,840
Mickey waffles with me and I 
made the kids eat them as 

870
00:51:04,840 --> 00:51:07,520
snacks. 
I made the kids eat them for the

871
00:51:07,520 --> 00:51:08,480
rest of the day. 
I'm fine. 

872
00:51:08,480 --> 00:51:10,040
Mr. Bluff, thanks for hanging 
out. 

873
00:51:12,640 --> 00:51:15,800
They had like this cinnamon 
bread thing that you pour the 

874
00:51:15,800 --> 00:51:17,760
IT. 
Was like this Maple? 

875
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:19,640
It was so good and no one was 
eating it. 

876
00:51:19,640 --> 00:51:21,920
And I was like, you guys, I 
can't, you know, I was trying to

877
00:51:21,920 --> 00:51:24,200
eat for all six of us. 
Like I was like, come on. 

878
00:51:24,680 --> 00:51:27,040
Oh man, just thinking about it 
makes me sick to my stomach. 

879
00:51:27,840 --> 00:51:28,920
It's all right. 
The money is gone. 

880
00:51:28,960 --> 00:51:30,960
It's been gone for a year. 
It's been gone for a while. 

881
00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:34,040
We're OK, we're OK, but I'm 
really excited about the 

882
00:51:34,040 --> 00:51:37,280
Storytellers Cafe. 
So some fun things doing a 

883
00:51:37,280 --> 00:51:38,960
little different. 
You're doing the the panel, 

884
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:41,240
which will be cool. 
We've got that breakfast and 

885
00:51:41,240 --> 00:51:42,440
then we're not going into the 
park. 

886
00:51:42,440 --> 00:51:45,000
We are just heading home, no 
park. 

887
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,000
Breakfast and home. 
Home, which now it turned out we

888
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:50,000
have to because we have things 
we have to get to at home. 

889
00:51:50,320 --> 00:51:52,880
So there's like no like, oh, 
maybe just for a little bit we 

890
00:51:52,880 --> 00:51:55,720
can't like we have to get home. 
So that's kind of good for my 

891
00:51:55,960 --> 00:51:59,680
mental state. 
Well, we hope you enjoyed this 

892
00:51:59,680 --> 00:52:03,600
episode and we won't have an 
episode next week. 

893
00:52:04,080 --> 00:52:09,040
And but you know, you can follow

Just don't listen. 

903
00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,320
Like it's fine. 
You don't have to listen to 

904
00:52:44,320 --> 00:52:48,680
this, but you also don't have to
take time out of your busy life 

905
00:52:49,440 --> 00:52:51,480
to say that I'm awkward to 
listen to. 

906
00:52:52,360 --> 00:52:55,200
She's still holding that. 
She's still holding that there, 

907
00:52:55,200 --> 00:52:57,040
just little, you know, dangling 
it. 

908
00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,840
Just. 
Just because I don't know the 

909
00:52:59,840 --> 00:53:02,840
terms to everything when they 
change names of things every two

910
00:53:02,840 --> 00:53:04,200
seconds. 
Like from genie plus to 

911
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:07,280
lightning lane to lightning lane
multiplass to preview pass to. 

912
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:11,160
Preview Pass was never a thing. 
Premiere. 

913
00:53:11,160 --> 00:53:13,680
So you're making things up. 
Premiere pass Lightning Lane 

914
00:53:13,680 --> 00:53:17,080
Lightning Lane Multi pass 
Lightning Lane Individual pass
