And not too bad. 85 00:04:36,160 --> 00:04:40,560 Yeah, it's, it's been been an interesting week. 86 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:43,880 I had my friend from Florida, I was chatting to him over the 87 00:04:43,880 --> 00:04:46,480 weekend. He was coming to England on a 88 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:50,080 standby flight. And on Sunday he was like, yeah, 89 00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:52,080 OK, I'll come and stay, I'll be there in the morning. 90 00:04:52,160 --> 00:04:55,440 So queue a quick tidy up of the house. 91 00:04:56,480 --> 00:04:59,880 His arrival. Has a bit of a role reversal 92 00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:02,360 though, isn't it? I know it's quite nice because 93 00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:04,680 yeah, he was. They, him and his partner always 94 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:08,520 visit us but they never stay here because they have family 95 00:05:08,520 --> 00:05:10,600 here. But I've been to stay with them 96 00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:12,640 a couple of times at their house, so it was quite nice to 97 00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,800 return the favour. That's good. 98 00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:18,640 So I was gonna say, Robin, do you have a countdown to your 99 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:20,600 next trip? I do. 100 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,360 Do you know what should we find out what my countdown is? 101 00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:24,800 It's not as low as yours. Let's have a look see what my 102 00:05:24,800 --> 00:05:26,720 countdown. Is John's is even lower. 103 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,200 John. I'm guessing John's is in the 104 00:05:28,200 --> 00:05:29,520 70s. It is. 105 00:05:29,560 --> 00:05:33,480 And actually I've not started a countdown and it's actually it, 106 00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:36,040 it is really telling because actually I've got a lot of a 107 00:05:36,040 --> 00:05:38,480 trip report from last year to finish off before we countdown. 108 00:05:39,920 --> 00:05:41,760 I was going to say, I've only just started to read the day 109 00:05:41,760 --> 00:05:44,080 that we turned off. Yeah, but I was sat, I was sat 110 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:45,760 last night and I'm like, Oh my word. 111 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:50,040 So actually I've written 3 three days worth of trip report last 112 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:50,440 night. Oh, that's. 113 00:05:51,480 --> 00:05:54,280 Nice. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 114 00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,000 And then I've now got to find the photos. 115 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:02,280 And the problem is, is like the first day of those three, I've 116 00:06:02,280 --> 00:06:07,120 got over 300 photos to sift through because we're in Animal 117 00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:09,640 Kingdom and we just decided let's go and explore Animal 118 00:06:09,640 --> 00:06:10,840 Kingdom because the queues were big. 119 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,360 And so, yeah, taking loads and loads of pictures. 120 00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:17,840 And so you suddenly sat down and I'm like, where? 121 00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:19,360 Where do you actually begin with this? 122 00:06:19,360 --> 00:06:22,600 So yeah, I'm determined. By the time we go to bed 123 00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:26,000 tonight, I will have done that day and then finally do. 124 00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,160 Then we'll put the next one up and I'll feel as if I'm getting 125 00:06:29,160 --> 00:06:31,400 through a bit. And then Kirsty will also send 126 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,920 me a message to say get your finger out, sunshine. 127 00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:36,800 He does that. He does that quiet a bit. 128 00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:40,800 So yeah. Although I think she's behind on 129 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:44,320 reading, so yeah, you yeah. Reply on that and then we'll 130 00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:46,760 we'll go from there at. Least John, you've got a 131 00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:49,160 deadline, you know you'll you'll get it sorted before would be. 132 00:06:49,160 --> 00:06:51,520 Well I've always said that I would say I always finish it 133 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:54,240 before the next one. But the problem is I've got a 134 00:06:54,440 --> 00:07:00,080 pre trip report to write and then for this one we're going 135 00:07:00,720 --> 00:07:03,240 just as a couple. Begin with and to end with. 136 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:06,320 And then in the middle, the kids are coming and Josh's 137 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:10,400 girlfriends come in. So I've got to ask her if she 138 00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:11,680 might have been part of the trip report. 139 00:07:11,680 --> 00:07:13,960 Because, you know, you can't think of these things with GDPR, 140 00:07:14,040 --> 00:07:15,400 haven't you? Yeah. 141 00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:17,240 And actually, the kids are now being of an agent. 142 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,560 They maybe they don't want their photos on them all over the end. 143 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,320 Maybe they want to write their own, yeah? 144 00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:26,760 That would say, look, that would say themselves, wouldn't it? 145 00:07:27,480 --> 00:07:31,600 Now, now, there we go. That could be the way ahead and 146 00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,600 get out just to write it. Yeah. 147 00:07:36,680 --> 00:07:38,760 Their project management. It's all about delegation. 148 00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:44,040 Wishing it on to someone else. We could be up to something that 149 00:07:44,040 --> 00:07:46,040 would work at three. That would save me months worth 150 00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:50,080 of yeah. Just feed your feed your photos 151 00:07:50,080 --> 00:07:53,360 into ChatGPT and tell it to just generate generate. 152 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:58,280 Your I can't do. That I it uses it, yeah. 153 00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,160 I've just had a text message off Kirsty as well. 154 00:08:01,240 --> 00:08:03,040 Yes, get your finger out. Yeah. 155 00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:07,800 Do you know what before we move on, I think it's some of us do 156 00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:09,880 the news because there's a lot of news to talk about. 157 00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:22,400 Yeah, can't they just? So first up, there is a new 158 00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,000 president named for the Walt Disney World. 159 00:08:24,880 --> 00:08:28,240 As we mentioned last week, Raul announced his retirement lasted 160 00:08:28,360 --> 00:08:31,720 36 years with the company, So taking over the helm as the new 161 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,520 president. Walt Disney World is Joe Schott, 162 00:08:33,919 --> 00:08:37,000 40 years old, 40 year Disney veteran. 163 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,000 He famously started his career as a Jungle Cruise skipper. 164 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,960 I love the someone who's been in the company for 40 years. 165 00:08:44,200 --> 00:08:47,840 It's finally is is. There's nothing really suited 166 00:08:47,840 --> 00:08:50,400 for that role, is there? No, it's Disney. 167 00:08:50,400 --> 00:08:53,960 Longer than the previous guy who was retiring, Yeah. 168 00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:56,480 Yeah.

So it's it's, it's quite a few 181 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:36,800 things to shift around, but there seems to be those three 182 00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:40,240 have a huge amount of experience when you think there also. 183 00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:44,400 Seems to be though Ben, some form of progression here because 184 00:09:44,400 --> 00:09:48,120 actually with Joe Sharp, he's he's come from the Disney 185 00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:52,120 signature experience role, but he's also previously and and 186 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:54,760 this is where this is where you look at some somebody's CV. 187 00:09:55,440 --> 00:09:58,160 Yeah, he started as a Jungle Cruise skipper, but he's also 188 00:09:58,160 --> 00:10:02,680 worked in Japan for Walt Disney attractions. 189 00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:07,720 He's been CEO of Disneyland Paris, he's worked at Shanghai 190 00:10:07,720 --> 00:10:11,440 Disney and then and then he's actually worked, you know, 191 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,280 overseeing the launch of two ships with the Disney signature 192 00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:18,840 thing. I actually think the company's 193 00:10:18,840 --> 00:10:22,800 actually in safe hands, you know, and after the show last 194 00:10:22,800 --> 00:10:27,760 week, I know, I know last week I kind of jumped off on it. 195 00:10:27,760 --> 00:10:29,800 Wasn't quite a RAM, but it it it. 196 00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:32,440 It it it's a RAM, it's a small RAM. 197 00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,080 Because actually you couldn't actually understand why the 198 00:10:37,080 --> 00:10:41,640 actual, the actual leader of the company, you know, the president 199 00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:48,840 of, of Walt Disney World Resort with jump ship without, without 200 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:51,440 there being some form of succession planning. 201 00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:57,200 And yeah, I, I actually, you know, I'm not going to name 202 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:01,600 names, but actually I received a message last week and it 203 00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:05,760 basically just just reaffirming that what we said last week was 204 00:11:05,760 --> 00:11:08,000 totally on track. And, and, and I was quite 205 00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,400 pleased with that because normally if I ever run, it can 206 00:11:10,400 --> 00:11:12,680 go way, way off, way, way off tilt. 207 00:11:12,680 --> 00:11:13,600 And I might have. To. 208 00:11:15,800 --> 00:11:19,000 But I was quite pleased with the fact, yeah, it's just like, be 209 00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,120 assured what's coming, your company is actually going to be 210 00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:25,720 in a bad place. And, and I actually felt this 211 00:11:25,720 --> 00:11:30,360 appointment and, and coming so quickly, you know, and I think 212 00:11:30,360 --> 00:11:33,560 that, you know, big organization when when it go, when it's 213 00:11:33,560 --> 00:11:36,960 rudderless for a while, things kind of slip and stuff out. 214 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:40,200 This isn't, this is something that, you know, I think it, it 215 00:11:40,200 --> 00:11:43,040 goes back to what I said last week in in so much of the fact 216 00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:46,040 that was somebody jumped before they were actually pushed. 217 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,600 And I actually, I actually believe that would be the case 218 00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:51,720 because Disney know exactly what they're doing. 219 00:11:51,920 --> 00:11:54,840 I think just Demaro's put in place exactly who he wants to 220 00:11:55,080 --> 00:11:58,840 take the part, the parts forward and, and Walt Disney World in 221 00:11:58,840 --> 00:12:03,680 particular because you know, believe it or not, it needs a 222 00:12:03,680 --> 00:12:06,560 bit of TLC. There's there's a lot of changes 223 00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:10,080 happening and I think with so many changes that happen and in 224 00:12:10,080 --> 00:12:12,800 ball DC world, like so much things that are happening and 225 00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:15,920 moving all at the same time. When you actually look at what's 226 00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:18,760 been opening and what's been under construction for the past 227 00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:23,080 few years, there's so many things that put into place all 228 00:12:23,080 --> 00:12:27,040 of these things to keep working, to keep operating, to adapt as 229 00:12:27,040 --> 00:12:29,560 well. If you've been in a role for 36 230 00:12:29,560 --> 00:12:32,720 years, you know how things change, but there's to a point 231 00:12:32,720 --> 00:12:36,200 where what do you see going forward? 232 00:12:36,640 --> 00:12:38,880 Because eventually, if you've been with the company for a long 233 00:12:38,880 --> 00:12:43,200 time, yes, you get experience, but are you the right fit at 234 00:12:43,200 --> 00:12:46,320 that moment for the company? And that's quite an interesting 235 00:12:47,080 --> 00:12:49,720 thing that I I've seen over the past few days. 236 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:54,800 What I got from it was I've been following like the discussion 237 00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:57,600 about Shanghai and the expansion with Zootopia. 238 00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,720 That land looks amazing. It's incredible. 239 00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:03,600 And when you look at what we're having in Walt Disney World with 240 00:13:03,600 --> 00:13:07,800 all the expansion and yes, with cars, with villains, it's quite 241 00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:10,480 interesting to see what we're going to get going forward past 242 00:13:10,480 --> 00:13:12,240 that, because that's what had been announced. 243 00:13:12,520 --> 00:13:16,000 What's the next set, what we're going to see in B23? 244 00:13:16,360 --> 00:13:20,200 Because he's the one on stage telling us what the next few 245 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,120 years of Disney World and other Disney parks are going to look 246 00:13:23,120 --> 00:13:25,000 like. I think spot on. 247 00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:30,560 And actually again, going back on previous D20 threes, I think 248 00:13:30,560 --> 00:13:33,120 I've always previously claimed that there's a lack of joined up 249 00:13:33,120 --> 00:13:36,480 thinking. I think the joined up thinking 250 00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:38,480 is actually. We've made too much blue sky. 251 00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,360 Yeah. Not enough. 252 00:13:41,240 --> 00:13:43,920 Actual yeah. And I think this is where 253 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:47,480 there's a big change basic coming from the top man. 254 00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,720 And I like you know, and that's, and that's what happens, isn't 255 00:13:51,720 --> 00:13:54,000 it? You get new, you get new people 256 00:13:54,000 --> 00:13:59,560 into new roles and suddenly the cogs and the creative part of it 257 00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:03,640 start churning again. And I'm quite excited for it. 258 00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:06,960 I really am. I really do feel that, you know, 259 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:10,920 we're on, we're on an open upward trajectory at the right 260 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,200 time. I'm excited. 261 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,760 I'm excited to see what I am. Definitely. 262 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:19,680 I feel the same. Oh, rock and roller coaster 263 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:24,240 starring the Muppet. That way I just can't believe 264 00:14:24,240 --> 00:14:27,200 all the previews and everything we've seen from cast member. 265 00:14:27,880 --> 00:14:30,400 I've tried. I was saying I didn't avoid any. 266 00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,240 I as soon as I saw people sharing videos there was an 267 00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:38,440 embargo on on right pobs and a lot of the queues until this 268 00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:41,600 morning. So TikTok and Instagram has been 269 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:47,680 flooded with that today and the amount of detail from Muppets 270 00:14:47,920 --> 00:14:51,280 Vision 3D that is now in rock and roller coaster. 271 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:53,240 Apologies if I'm not going to try. 272 00:14:53,240 --> 00:14:55,720 I'm going to avoid any spoilers, but if you want to go and see 273 00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:59,360 it, you can go and find it. I haven't I haven't seen any. 274 00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,480 I need to need to up my game and have a look. 275 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:05,000 I've only seen reviews. Yeah, I wasn't going to. 276 00:15:05,000 --> 00:15:08,000 And then someone made me. Is it? 277 00:15:08,200 --> 00:15:12,960 Someone maybe next to you. Yeah, someone made. 278 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:18,400 Me it looks and that's not not original Rapper Manifesto stream 279 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:19,440 there as well. Yeah. 280 00:15:19,640 --> 00:15:21,760 Good, good. Everyone can still get their 281 00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,160 backstage passes, it's all good. I was impressed because actually 282 00:15:26,160 --> 00:15:29,640 the, the and and possibly everyone's seen this, so it's 283 00:15:29,640 --> 00:15:33,480 not a spoiler alert, but the Statler and Waldorf part of it. 284 00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:38,040 And very much the fact that, you know, they're still bolted to 285 00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:40,600 the seats and things. I'm just like, you know, yeah. 286 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:45,800 When you just like some someone who's reimagined this gets it. 287 00:15:45,800 --> 00:15:48,960 And they've actually, you know, they actually understand exactly 288 00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:53,680 where the love from The Muppets 3D show was. 289 00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:57,400 And they've they've they've for me, they've retained it just by 290 00:15:57,400 --> 00:15:59,400 putting this out and walled off and I just. 291 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,360 Feel that, yeah. And that, that's the icing on 292 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,720 the cake. The I'm, I'm the scooter audio 293 00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:08,800 animatronic is incredible because I think the way they've 294 00:16:08,800 --> 00:16:11,640 done it, it's not it they they've designed the way that it 295 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:14,960 looks like it's being sort of manoeuvreized up tiered. 296 00:16:15,200 --> 00:16:17,360 Yeah. So it's it doesn't, it's not 297 00:16:17,360 --> 00:16:20,280 like, oh, we've just made it from this video to look like 298 00:16:20,280 --> 00:16:22,880 this. They've actually used what 299 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:26,320 they've done in films to be able to use the soft really scanning 300 00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:28,680 to try and get the right sort of movement. 301 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:32,240 And it's just I'm blown away with what Disney have managed to 302 00:16:32,240 --> 00:16:35,000 do since this close in March till. 303 00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,640 May it's been 3 months, been less than three months than 304 00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,160 three months. Yes, that's not normally what we 305 00:16:40,160 --> 00:16:45,280 expect from Disney. In the three months, considering 306 00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:49,760 that they had over a year to reimagine, test back, what they 307 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:52,800 did with that compared to what they've done with The Muppets in 308 00:16:52,800 --> 00:16:54,960 three months, it's quite amazing. 309 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,480 Because they've got the heart of The Muppets into and I think 310 00:16:58,480 --> 00:17:02,760 that's it's the nostalgia of Muppets which left Hollywood 311 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:06,599 studios last year. They've managed to capture what 312 00:17:06,800 --> 00:17:10,560 I think a lot of people went into that form yes, we had the 313 00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:13,000 Muppet show on to C plus earlier this year. 314 00:17:13,200 --> 00:17:17,440 So there's a lot of talk and a lot of sort of just people 315 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:21,560 excited about it. And I think the a generation 316 00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:25,359 that just not everyone, everyone pretty much knows who The 317 00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,319 Muppets are, but not everyone knows who Electric Mayhem. 318 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,720 So there there's different aspects different this that I 319 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:32,480 think Disney have been able to do. 320 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:36,000 But if you want to, there's a on it's on Disney parks YouTube and 321 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:41,320 on their TikTok page, there's a, a couple minute video which has 322 00:17:41,480 --> 00:17:44,760 all of sort of like Easter eggs. So you put things on that pizza, 323 00:17:44,760 --> 00:17:48,520 Rizzo and Numb and Melrose and all those little bits and pieces 324 00:17:48,520 --> 00:17:51,000 that are in it. So if you want to go and see it, 325 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:53,000 it's a good thing to see. And what I like is that Disney 326 00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:56,320 decided to do that. This is a great way that that 327 00:17:56,320 --> 00:17:59,480 promoting themselves on the Imagineering side. 328 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:03,600 I would also say as well, Ben, and this is again, going back to 329 00:18:03,600 --> 00:18:06,240 the way that park is. And now it, you know, Walt 330 00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:14,120 Disney World is as a as a a unified and actually imaginative 331 00:18:14,360 --> 00:18:16,840 output. But you look at the job that you 332 00:18:16,840 --> 00:18:20,880 did in Paris to rock and roller coaster when it became part of 333 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,280 Avengers. And that that for me was 334 00:18:24,360 --> 00:18:28,960 actually was embarrassing of how cheaply that was ripped out and 335 00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:33,760 put in because it basically it. Yeah, I must say I shouldn't 336 00:18:33,760 --> 00:18:37,360 have ridden it when I did because it was just post 337 00:18:37,360 --> 00:18:38,800 operation. But hey, don't tell the 338 00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,680 consultant. Don't tell the consultant. 339 00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:48,880 But it it was it, it was actually, yeah, when you when 340 00:18:48,880 --> 00:18:51,520 you go there and you're like, I haven't spent all the money on 341 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:55,640 the rest of The Avengers stuff. You might as well just have left 342 00:18:55,640 --> 00:18:57,440 it as rock and roller coaster because actually what they've 343 00:18:57,440 --> 00:19:02,840 done, it was so crass and and I hope that that's changed over 344 00:19:02,840 --> 00:19:06,000 time because I've not been back to Paris since, but that was 345 00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:07,240 done. That was done and cheap. 346 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:11,600 This actually looks a really, really good job And and and long 347 00:19:11,600 --> 00:19:14,360 may this continue. I think this is, this is 348 00:19:14,360 --> 00:19:18,000 becoming a recurring theme in the, in the past few, basically 349 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:21,680 past few weeks, really. Instead, there was sitting there 350 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:24,320 on a Wednesday complaining about rebirth and about it. 351 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,160 We're excited. It is exciting. 352 00:19:27,240 --> 00:19:30,880 I think this is, you know, this is such a, it's such a bizarre 353 00:19:30,880 --> 00:19:35,680 thing, you know, Yeah, even somewhat, you know, I'm not sure 354 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,840 if it's on the list, but no, it's not on the list. 355 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:42,200 But even having Claire send us messages and photographs about 356 00:19:42,600 --> 00:19:46,600 the refurb of Buzz Lightyear and her description of that is the 357 00:19:46,600 --> 00:19:50,240 fact that it's just like, it's way beyond what the old Buzz 358 00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:52,520 like, like. Yeah, really, It's so smooth. 359 00:19:52,680 --> 00:19:55,000 I think it helps though. She got got out of Kira. 360 00:19:55,000 --> 00:20:00,440 Yeah, she was researching where to go. 361 00:20:00,640 --> 00:20:04,160 I I went on it blind but my score not reflects. 362 00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:08,400 I would. I'm pretty sure next Wednesday's 363 00:20:08,400 --> 00:20:12,720 show will be taken up with with probably a lot of chat about 364 00:20:12,720 --> 00:20:18,000 Galactic Hero and things. Like that I need a T-shirt and. 365 00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,640 Yeah, yeah, she's got her name in the book today. 366 00:20:21,880 --> 00:20:24,240 There'll be a set of beers or something like that, won't they? 367 00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:24,960 You know? Yeah. 368 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:26,880 Yeah. But the high score, right? 369 00:20:26,880 --> 00:20:29,440 Because. That Claire's been up to this 370 00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:32,560 week, and another preview this week, Soaring Across America, 371 00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,800 opened at Epcot. Yeah, Claire. 372 00:20:34,960 --> 00:20:37,720 Claire took one for the team and tested it out for us. 373 00:20:37,960 --> 00:20:39,520 Even though she doesn't like height. 374 00:20:40,360 --> 00:20:43,640 Yes, and really liked it. Yeah, she's even more 375 00:20:43,640 --> 00:20:46,320 surprising. I think we were all surprised by 376 00:20:46,320 --> 00:20:47,960 that one. We were not really expecting her 377 00:20:47,960 --> 00:20:49,560 to love it. I'm. 378 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:52,560 Surprised Claire went on it. I was like, I know what I know. 379 00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,800 She's not the biggest fan of going on Saurian. 380 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,800 I I don't know how I missed that so I in my defence when I 381 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:03,240 dragged her on Saurian I didn't know that she hated it. 382 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:06,040 So if you haven't seen it already, she posted in the 383 00:21:06,040 --> 00:21:11,440 whoppers arms and I posted a photo of me and her on it where 384 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,840 she wasn't looking too pleased with her life choices. 385 00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:18,600 I was so shocked. I was like, do you not like this 386 00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:20,680 ride? She was like no, I'm terrified 387 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,560 of heights. So I said why are we writing it 388 00:21:22,560 --> 00:21:24,240 then? She's like because you wanted 389 00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:26,240 to? I was like, oh whoops, sorry. 390 00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:28,880 She actually, she actually, yeah, we actually dragged her 391 00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:30,040 on. At the last year. 392 00:21:30,120 --> 00:21:31,600 On the year before. Yeah, but. 393 00:21:31,600 --> 00:21:33,840 And the only stipulation was that we weren't from Rogue. 394 00:21:34,520 --> 00:21:36,920 Yeah, first to be further back, because it actually just helps 395 00:21:36,920 --> 00:21:39,560 her just knowing that there's other people, there's other 396 00:21:39,560 --> 00:21:41,480 people. I have no idea. 397 00:21:43,200 --> 00:21:45,320 I'm. The same to be fair front row. 398 00:21:46,200 --> 00:21:51,600 Yeah, excellent. That was all right. 399 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:55,160 That was fine. I'm I'm I mean just to see how 400 00:21:55,160 --> 00:21:59,840 long that one will lasts at Epcot as it needs or there's 401 00:21:59,840 --> 00:22:01,960 from June 50th birthday celebration of America. 402 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:04,080 I'm really hoping it's still going to be out one week or next 403 00:22:04,120 --> 00:22:06,480 year. Yeah, let's face facts, right? 404 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:10,040 We've now got three separate films. 405 00:22:10,760 --> 00:22:12,040 Have three separate. Screens. 406 00:22:12,120 --> 00:22:16,160 Can we not have three separate screens and then let the crowd 407 00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:18,600 decide? You know, it might well be. 408 00:22:18,640 --> 00:22:20,720 Randomized though. Yeah. 409 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:22,760 Have they not started? I'm not sure which one you're 410 00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:24,520 going to get. Yeah, that's difficult because 411 00:22:24,520 --> 00:22:29,480 you can't tie up the smells and the, and the, the movements, the 412 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:31,000 ride. But, but because you've got 413 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,360 three separate screens, you should be able to do it as three 414 00:22:34,360 --> 00:22:37,120 separate rides. So you actually get, and it 415 00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:41,040 might well be that you, you're told to go to screen A and it'll 416 00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,000 be 11. You can. 417 00:22:44,280 --> 00:22:47,440 And then the next time you go, you go to screen C. 418 00:22:47,760 --> 00:22:50,040 Or it's a bell of when you go on Guardians and you try and get 419 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:52,920 all six songs, it's you go on it and you're going to. 420 00:22:52,920 --> 00:22:56,200 Get I I actually think that could be a really fantastic way 421 00:22:56,200 --> 00:22:59,280 of of it just being a different experience. 422 00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:02,200 But then you talk about rewrite ability during the course of 423 00:23:02,480 --> 00:23:05,880 even just one at cop day. And then you've got, you know, 424 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,840 rather than people just, you know, rather than being just a 425 00:23:07,840 --> 00:23:11,880 once and done, you've now got the ability to, you'd be wanting 426 00:23:11,880 --> 00:23:15,360 to go back 3 * 1 year. That means that means I have to 427 00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:18,400 ride it three times. Yeah, yeah, that's the whole 428 00:23:18,400 --> 00:23:20,760 point. And then and what will happen is 429 00:23:20,760 --> 00:23:24,440 there'll be a storm comes in so you'll be stranded in the lamp a 430 00:23:24,440 --> 00:23:26,160 billion. So you'll end up having to go 431 00:23:26,160 --> 00:23:29,640 and buy food food at the Sunshine Seasons and then 432 00:23:29,640 --> 00:23:30,960 you'll. End up living. 433 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:34,600 With the land, yeah. It does sound like yeah. 434 00:23:34,600 --> 00:23:38,960 Sounds like a great day. Then you can do behind the 435 00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:42,480 scenes tall while you're there. I know, I know Charlie hasn't 436 00:23:42,480 --> 00:23:47,040 joined us in the chat for for a while, but Charlie from Disney, 437 00:23:47,280 --> 00:23:50,680 Disney, Disney knows hurt us. And he sent me a picture on 438 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,920 Twitter last night. They were on living with the 439 00:23:52,920 --> 00:23:56,400 land and it, it, it must be one of them conversations that 440 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,960 people have because the last time we were there, we need to 441 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:02,000 take a picture of the banana tree to send to Josh because he 442 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:05,000 was, he sent me a picture of the bananas last night. 443 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:10,640 And it was just like how something so small becomes, it 444 00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:14,360 becomes a thing, you know, a bit like, a bit like everyone says 445 00:24:14,360 --> 00:24:18,000 that Josh pictures the Thai bus every time they're in Animal 446 00:24:18,000 --> 00:24:19,920 Kingdom. It's just, it becomes a thing. 447 00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:23,320 It's really bizarre. But yeah, I'm going to, I'm 448 00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,920 going to take the mood a little bit away because actually, I 449 00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:28,600 think we've had so much positivity and so many bits of 450 00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:32,400 good news. I actually think this week I, I 451 00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:34,600 was positively sad by that, saddened by this. 452 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:41,400 And, and the news that Tom Kane, who was a basic voice actor, but 453 00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:46,320 is the voice of the monorail and the voice that you hear when you 454 00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:52,840 listen to Happily Ever After. And again, it's just his voice 455 00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:57,120 in itself, I think becomes his own legacy and it becomes the 456 00:24:57,120 --> 00:25:01,080 most beautiful thing that I actually don't think I can 457 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:05,400 actually listen to happily ever after without probably welling 458 00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:10,240 up in tears because I was quite taint about just how how many 459 00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,000 lives has his voice actually impacted upon within the parks? 460 00:25:15,040 --> 00:25:19,240 And I just thought, you know, just one of them sad losses. 461 00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:21,880 And actually, you know, he's been poorly for a long time. 462 00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:23,560 That's not it's not it's not a sudden death. 463 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:29,120 He actually suffered a stroke in 2020, but just one of them a 464 00:25:29,120 --> 00:25:34,320 little sad, sad losses, but hopefully a voice and again, 465 00:25:34,320 --> 00:25:37,800 Star Wars fans of know his voice because he was I think he voiced 466 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:44,080 Yoda and is it Boba Fett and a couple of in the animated series 467 00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:46,360 and video games. It's really interesting. 468 00:25:46,480 --> 00:25:52,040 I hadn't heard the same voice with the monorail spill with 469 00:25:52,040 --> 00:25:55,600 Ever After. I hadn't together until this 470 00:25:55,600 --> 00:26:00,320 week and then it was like, oh wow, that's going to be, I mean, 471 00:26:00,320 --> 00:26:03,400 it's going to be really weird that most dual next ride on the 472 00:26:03,400 --> 00:26:06,880 monorail just hearing their voice and going yeah, that's 473 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,520 yeah, that's that's something. No, it was sad. 474 00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:15,360 I also hope that nobody sits there and think, oh, we need, we 475 00:26:15,360 --> 00:26:19,240 need to re record it because actually, yeah, I think that 476 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:23,640 will be like a true legacy for, for that voice to actually live 477 00:26:23,640 --> 00:26:27,280 on because, you know, I think it's, you know, irrespective of, 478 00:26:27,960 --> 00:26:31,600 you know, actors, voice actors, whatever, you know, even after 479 00:26:31,600 --> 00:26:36,400 you die, your film lives on. I think that would be a for me, 480 00:26:36,400 --> 00:26:41,680 that would be a really fit and tribute to just to just a voice 481 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:46,720 that, you know, even now I actually have to listen to and 482 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:48,960 watch Happily Ever After the other night. 483 00:26:49,520 --> 00:26:52,600 I've never found myself doing that previously, but it 484 00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,800 resonates. And when you listen to the words 485 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:58,360 that he speaks within the the actual fireworks show, I think 486 00:26:58,360 --> 00:27:02,000 it will hit different. I'll leave it at that. 487 00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:06,440 But Tom Kane, rest in peace. Your voice will live forever. 488 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:10,080 And As for mentioned today about stuff that's been changing in 489 00:27:10,080 --> 00:27:15,520 the parks, it was only released early today that in Hollywood 490 00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:18,560 Studios, the Walt Disney Studios lot is now open. 491 00:27:19,360 --> 00:27:22,640 So this is the bit where the hat is going to be. 492 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:25,720 And there's been a couple of pictures, a few pictures shared 493 00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:27,800 and. This looks amazing as well then. 494 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,320 And I was just. I've got nothing to complain 495 00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,080 about, I mean I'm being made redundant here. 496 00:27:35,960 --> 00:27:40,040 It just looks so good. It does looks great, I'm really 497 00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:44,280 pleased to see it. I can't wait to see it next 498 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:45,720 year. It's going to be amazing. 499 00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,440 I think it actually that I actually think that the lines in 500 00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:52,560 it and, and the way that they're actually even some of the sign 501 00:27:52,720 --> 00:27:56,240 signage that they've got in there as well is so much like 502 00:27:57,040 --> 00:28:02,280 the original Anaheim sort of Walt Disney studio. 503 00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:07,000 And, and again, someone sat there and actually designed this 504 00:28:07,440 --> 00:28:10,520 so it looks like it rather than just putting them big plastic 505 00:28:10,520 --> 00:28:13,120 signs up and, and doing a bad cheap job. 506 00:28:13,800 --> 00:28:16,760 Someone's actually, you know, maybe, maybe they can sort Epcot 507 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:19,000 out. Maybe they can go and redo all 508 00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:20,760 the lighting in Epcot. Maybe. 509 00:28:20,760 --> 00:28:23,440 Maybe what they'll do is they'll put a fountain back in. 510 00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:29,120 It'd be nice, yes. Please, we need to have like 511 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:32,400 AB23 bingo and see what we're going to get the announcement 512 00:28:32,400 --> 00:28:35,880 that we that we. Can do coming back, Yeah, yeah. 513 00:28:36,360 --> 00:28:39,440 But I'm just the hat. I remember when they announced 514 00:28:39,440 --> 00:28:42,240 this, I think it was even late last year or earlier this year 515 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,480 that I thought it was quite a small update. 516 00:28:44,480 --> 00:28:48,400 It wasn't much that from originally just OK that that 517 00:28:48,560 --> 00:28:52,240 that they're finally getting around to fixing what was Star 518 00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:56,600 Wars launch Bay Area that had been sort of left for years and 519 00:28:56,600 --> 00:28:59,400 not really. Yeah, it was built. 520 00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:03,440 It was there really just to update before Galaxy's Edge 521 00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:05,560 opened. And since then and obviously 522 00:29:05,560 --> 00:29:09,120 COVID and just have pace for it to be characters and just it 523 00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:14,080 just become emptier and quieter. And now there's finally going to 524 00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:16,680 be things in there. And I just think he just, it 525 00:29:16,680 --> 00:29:20,400 suits the aesthetic of Oddwood Studios more than. 526 00:29:20,480 --> 00:29:24,360 I feel like it's a hark back for like the old Hollywood studios 527 00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,840 as well, like what we know. I mean, obviously the Great 528 00:29:27,840 --> 00:29:30,760 Movie Ride, I'm sure like everyone remembers, and the 529 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:34,200 backstage tour where it used to go past some of the actual 530 00:29:34,200 --> 00:29:39,040 working stages. I think it's it's a nod to that 531 00:29:39,040 --> 00:29:40,840 era. I really like it. 532 00:29:40,840 --> 00:29:43,000 I think I'm very excited to visit next time I. 533 00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,240 Go and the animation part of Disney as well. 534 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,520 Yeah, I think, yeah, I think that gets completely pushed out 535 00:29:49,520 --> 00:29:52,200 the window quite a lot. And I just really feel that this 536 00:29:52,200 --> 00:29:56,480 is, again, another positive addition to Walt Disney. 537 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:58,120 World. Yeah. 538 00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:00,520 Goodness. And yeah, you will also find 539 00:30:00,520 --> 00:30:04,480 character handprints, footprints and paw prints embedded in the 540 00:30:04,480 --> 00:30:06,280 pavement in front of the animation building. 541 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,040 That's. Cute and then. 542 00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:14,640 Also to up some I'm going to call them statues of characters 543 00:30:14,640 --> 00:30:17,240 all around. So I've seen pictures of Thumper 544 00:30:17,280 --> 00:30:24,040 and Thazu and a few others. Oh, I get some rare characters 545 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:27,720 as well, which I I've not looked at the detail, but I did see 546 00:30:27,720 --> 00:30:30,200 that someone has made the comment and the fact that, you 547 00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:33,520 know, it is so good to see whatever character it was in the 548 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:36,120 park and I'm like, OK, I'll, I'll go with that. 549 00:30:37,480 --> 00:30:40,400 It seems just a very nice place. There's a lot of benches, 550 00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:43,360 there's a lot of space just to it's not a green space. 551 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:47,760 It's just enough places to just sit and relax and everybody. 552 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,440 I know we said that about Magic Kingdom a lot over the past year 553 00:30:51,440 --> 00:30:55,480 of like Tom Sawyer Island going and we're losing that space. 554 00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:58,040 This just goes in the opposite directions of that. 555 00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:01,520 We're actually we're gaining this space where a lot of people 556 00:31:01,520 --> 00:31:05,640 would just ignore Star Wars launch Bay in that area because 557 00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:07,040 it's like there was no nothing there. 558 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:09,720 It wasn't benches. There was there was no reason 559 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:14,200 for that space where I feel like now that they've been able to to 560 00:31:14,880 --> 00:31:19,040 and bring something to it that I think everyone's going to enjoy. 561 00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:22,920 And it reminds me a lot of California, which is tonight's 562 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:24,480 topic. Which is perfect. 563 00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,960 They they must have known that's, that's a bit for me. 564 00:31:28,120 --> 00:31:30,120 They must have known that we were going to chat about us 565 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:34,040 tonight. I, I think we, we should talk 566 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,480 about California. So Robin, you've recently come 567 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:40,720 back from Disneyland. How was your trip going from 568 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,600 Walt Disney World in the first half going to California? 569 00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:47,760 It was good. It was good. 570 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:52,440 I would probably do it again. The only downside for me is, I 571 00:31:52,440 --> 00:31:54,400 mean, I felt like I didn't really get enough time in 572 00:31:54,400 --> 00:31:58,240 Orlando. So that that's the downside for 573 00:31:58,240 --> 00:32:00,240 me. I, I sacrificed some of the 574 00:32:00,240 --> 00:32:02,520 Orlando time to go to Disneyland, which I felt sad 575 00:32:02,520 --> 00:32:07,960 about, but I had a great time. And it was, it was, it's funny 576 00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:11,320 to me to do some of the same rides and the same shows on both 577 00:32:11,320 --> 00:32:13,840 coasts and have a direct comparison. 578 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:16,640 Because sometimes when you do, like I've seen Fantasmic in 579 00:32:16,640 --> 00:32:19,280 both, you kind of, you know, the key bits that are different. 580 00:32:19,280 --> 00:32:22,520 But when you've watched it one night and then you see it two 581 00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:26,120 nights later, or the possibly no, two nights later, you're 582 00:32:26,240 --> 00:32:28,800 like, oh, I can spot all the differences. 583 00:32:28,800 --> 00:32:31,200 My memory was only two nights ago that I saw it. 584 00:32:31,480 --> 00:32:33,160 I can see everything that's different now. 585 00:32:33,720 --> 00:32:37,440 So it was, it was, it was different been it was, it was 586 00:32:37,440 --> 00:32:39,280 good being able to see the direct comparison. 587 00:32:39,800 --> 00:32:41,400 And I really, yeah, I really did enjoy it. 588 00:32:41,800 --> 00:32:45,000 I love Disneyland. Fantastic Which? 589 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:45,640 Which? Which? 590 00:32:45,920 --> 00:32:50,320 What is the World or Disneyland? Well, there's there's a lot to. 591 00:32:50,320 --> 00:32:52,600 Because there's always been a hot topic, that one, it's like 592 00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:56,080 we, we, we never got a chance to do it in California when we were 593 00:32:56,080 --> 00:33:02,440 there last. We so to compare pro for what 594 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:06,640 Disney World seats. OK yes they are not the most 595 00:33:06,640 --> 00:33:08,400 comfortable, we will agree on that. 596 00:33:08,840 --> 00:33:11,760 However, if you watch in Disneyland, you have to stand 597 00:33:12,120 --> 00:33:16,840 unless you book a dining package and then you have to sit on the 598 00:33:16,840 --> 00:33:20,880 floor. So I, I think usually you can 599 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,480 talk to someone, you can stand at the back of the seating area 600 00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:27,080 if you can't sit, but it is a bit difficult if you can't. 601 00:33:27,120 --> 00:33:29,880 If like you're with people who can't necessarily sit down on 602 00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:31,720 the floor, you have to bear that in mind. 603 00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:34,040 So you either have to stand up and get your spot with everyone 604 00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:37,320 else and wait, or you go for a dining package. 605 00:33:37,320 --> 00:33:38,720 And dining packages are not too bad. 606 00:33:38,720 --> 00:33:40,320 Actually. There's three different levels, 607 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,040 some of them are pretty cheap, so it's not it's not the end of 608 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:45,680 the world. And also, if there's two 609 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:48,640 showings of Fantasmic bit like the Walt Disney World, it's 610 00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:50,400 always easier to see than the second one. 611 00:33:52,520 --> 00:33:56,080 Which one's my favourites? Honestly, it's got to be 612 00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:01,240 Disneyland and not for for all the reasons you'd think. 613 00:34:01,320 --> 00:34:04,880 I think some of Walt Disney World really does it better, but 614 00:34:04,960 --> 00:34:11,239 it's so long in Walt Disney World and there's a lot of 615 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:15,000 projection onto the water and it goes on a bit too long. 616 00:34:15,040 --> 00:34:18,880 And then the the villain bit I find drags a little bit, whereas 617 00:34:18,880 --> 00:34:22,320 it's just a bit more snappy in Disneyland. 618 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,679 It's the bits are shorter. It doesn't drag. 619 00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:28,080 You don't feel like, OK, yeah, I'm bored, you're losing my 620 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,199 interest. Which what Disneyland does 621 00:34:30,199 --> 00:34:34,000 sometimes and they use the pirate ship Peter Pan and Hook 622 00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:36,159 fight on the pirate ship. Sorry at the spoiler for anyone 623 00:34:36,159 --> 00:34:38,480 who hasn't seen it. They literally on the pirate 624 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,120 ship fighting. It's that's very cool in 625 00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:44,360 Disneyland. So there are cool parts to Walt 626 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:48,639 Disney World too, like the new Moana bits, the Frozen, some of 627 00:34:48,639 --> 00:34:51,600 the some of the stunts are great. 628 00:34:52,360 --> 00:34:56,000 But Disneyland that you're so close to it, you feel a bit more 629 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:59,120 part of the show, whereas obviously it's a bigger stadium 630 00:34:59,160 --> 00:35:01,640 in what Disney World? It's a huge sort of place for 631 00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:03,080 not. Has he not been into that 632 00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:06,320 fantasmic arena? It's it's amazing. 633 00:35:06,560 --> 00:35:08,000 There's a reason it's called an arena. 634 00:35:08,240 --> 00:35:11,760 And The thing is, it is you are there for at least half an hour 635 00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:17,200 before the show starts and those seats on comfortable. 636 00:35:17,560 --> 00:35:19,280 They're not Let's. Be honest that they are 637 00:35:19,280 --> 00:35:24,480 hemorrhoid creators. That's let's be honest, they 638 00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:25,640 are. They are some of the most 639 00:35:25,640 --> 00:35:27,640 uncomfortable seats I've ever sat. 640 00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:32,400 However, if you've been walking like 25,000 steps and you have 641 00:35:32,440 --> 00:35:36,680 to stand for an hour, you stand for an hour and then watch the 642 00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,320 show. So you're stood stood still for 643 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:42,200 an hour and a half, or sit for an hour on some uncomfortable 644 00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:43,520 seats. Yeah, but come on, with 20 645 00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:46,120 minutes of sitting there before the show even starts and then 646 00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:48,560 that realisation that you've probably got another at least 647 00:35:48,560 --> 00:35:51,880 another half hour, you'll be you'll be quickly rushing to 648 00:35:51,880 --> 00:35:56,520 want to stand up and walk again. I think it's it's really 649 00:35:56,520 --> 00:36:02,840 interesting to but I think the pre show fantastic in what is 650 00:36:02,840 --> 00:36:06,560 the world, just has a really interesting, really good vibe 651 00:36:07,240 --> 00:36:11,800 and I love the music, the sound. We mentioned now an upcoming 652 00:36:11,800 --> 00:36:16,120 podcast, which would be out on the 1st of June, but it's one of 653 00:36:16,120 --> 00:36:21,600 those that sort of when you think about it, the IT just 654 00:36:21,600 --> 00:36:23,800 gives you a ready for the show and I'm not sure what you get 655 00:36:23,800 --> 00:36:26,000 for it. Appreciate, but Disneyland is 656 00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:27,800 like there's nothing there isn't. 657 00:36:27,880 --> 00:36:32,200 It just starts. And everybody, everybody starts 658 00:36:32,200 --> 00:36:35,840 queuing and it's much closer to the start of the show when 659 00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:37,280 everybody's starting to assemble. 660 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:40,400 Whereas you have like a bit of a longer build up when you're at 661 00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:43,360 Disney World. I like to say, I think the fact 662 00:36:43,360 --> 00:36:47,400 that the Amphitheatre area is just completely set for that. 663 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:51,440 Like come and buy your light up merch, come and buy your 664 00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:52,440 popcorn. Popcorn. 665 00:36:52,440 --> 00:36:54,880 They walk up and down selling their drinks and snacks. 666 00:36:54,880 --> 00:36:59,000 It's like that is entirely set up for come, come and sit down a 667 00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:02,240 bit earlier, take take the weight off your feet, get a 668 00:37:02,240 --> 00:37:05,200 drink and some snacks and then wait and get engrossed in the 669 00:37:05,200 --> 00:37:07,200 show. Whereas Disneyland always feel 670 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,520 like it's almost like you think why? 671 00:37:09,520 --> 00:37:12,600 Why isn't there anybody here like 45 minutes before the show 672 00:37:12,920 --> 00:37:15,760 And then as you get closer there all of a sudden it just goes and 673 00:37:15,760 --> 00:37:18,560 it's full. But there's not the kind of same 674 00:37:18,560 --> 00:37:23,000 preamble that you get and the the same kind of atmosphere 675 00:37:23,000 --> 00:37:25,400 builder that you get at the Disney World Amphitheater. 676 00:37:25,400 --> 00:37:27,000 Do you know what? I've just looked because I was 677 00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,200 interested. The Fantasmic Amphitheatre holds 678 00:37:32,200 --> 00:37:36,880 nearly 10,000 guests per show, so that will give you the scale 679 00:37:36,880 --> 00:37:39,960 of that. It's seated, it's about 7000 680 00:37:39,960 --> 00:37:43,560 with room for another 3 standing at the back So. 681 00:37:45,520 --> 00:37:48,240 It. Is, especially if it's 682 00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:50,560 highlights the. Difference between more Disney 683 00:37:50,560 --> 00:37:52,960 World and Disneyland when you actually think what is well 684 00:37:52,960 --> 00:37:56,560 caters, it's when you think the amount of parks that are there 685 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,280 versus Disneyland. It's a very different audience 686 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,240 as well. With Disneyland, it's very local 687 00:38:03,240 --> 00:38:06,720 focused. When we went there hips so easy 688 00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:10,080 to walk between things. But in comparison to or Disney 689 00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,320 World, you don't need to worry about the parking. 690 00:38:13,320 --> 00:38:18,520 How far away like Magic Kingdom parking lot and how easy it was 691 00:38:18,520 --> 00:38:23,680 to walk between the two parks. So between California Adventure 692 00:38:23,960 --> 00:38:27,240 and Disneyland. Mud made Disneyland Paris in 693 00:38:27,240 --> 00:38:29,960 that way. Yeah, I think and actually I've 694 00:38:30,200 --> 00:38:32,440 been sorry. Carry on. 695 00:38:32,440 --> 00:38:36,680 As I say, one day we might have to do a comparison of Disneyland 696 00:38:36,680 --> 00:38:38,920 versus Disneyland Paris. I think it's a closer. 697 00:38:38,920 --> 00:38:42,600 Comparison, I totally agree. I think they are, if you've been 698 00:38:42,600 --> 00:38:45,880 to one or the other, they will both the and you're visiting the 699 00:38:45,880 --> 00:38:48,320 other for the first time, they'll feel familiar. 700 00:38:48,440 --> 00:38:51,600 They there's, you can walk between the two parks. 701 00:38:51,600 --> 00:38:54,760 They, you don't have to get some sort of transport between the 702 00:38:54,760 --> 00:38:55,920 two. They're very close together and 703 00:38:55,920 --> 00:38:58,480 they're similar sort of size. I feel like there's something 704 00:38:58,480 --> 00:39:01,160 very familiar about Disneyland if you've been to Disneyland 705 00:39:01,160 --> 00:39:04,640 Paris and vice versa. And in What Isabel, do you have 706 00:39:04,640 --> 00:39:07,840 that bubble where literally we would measure the same times on 707 00:39:07,840 --> 00:39:09,640 the show that a lot of people go to What Isabel? 708 00:39:09,640 --> 00:39:12,840 To stay on site, to be part of the Disney bubble, to be part of 709 00:39:12,840 --> 00:39:14,760 that. With Disneyland, we stayed off 710 00:39:14,760 --> 00:39:19,800 site because it was a 10 to 15 minute walk to the parks. 711 00:39:19,960 --> 00:39:22,840 So it didn't make sense for us to stay on site, which would 712 00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:25,600 have been more expensive, where I felt like we had less of a 713 00:39:25,600 --> 00:39:28,760 benefit. It just, it did, it didn't, we 714 00:39:28,760 --> 00:39:31,840 couldn't work out, it didn't. The cost just didn't make sense 715 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:33,800 for us to. We would love to stay at the 716 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:37,560 Design Hotel but it just the cost per night didn't make 717 00:39:37,560 --> 00:39:39,720 sense. Well, I'm getting DBC points for 718 00:39:39,840 --> 00:39:42,840 either of them. If you're not other owner of 719 00:39:42,920 --> 00:39:45,680 them, is challenging challenging. 720 00:39:46,320 --> 00:39:49,000 It definitely is, especially for California. 721 00:39:49,080 --> 00:39:53,880 Grand California. I did get 4 nights at Disneyland 722 00:39:53,880 --> 00:39:57,680 hotel this year so it was after Christmas I think it was 723 00:39:57,720 --> 00:40:00,280 January. I booked my flights and through 724 00:40:00,280 --> 00:40:04,400 booking and wait list I got 4 consecutive nights in a studio. 725 00:40:04,840 --> 00:40:09,840 So it can be done but. Yeah, it took a couple of 726 00:40:09,840 --> 00:40:12,600 months, I think two months I think before the wait lists come 727 00:40:12,600 --> 00:40:15,880 in. But it can be done. 728 00:40:15,880 --> 00:40:18,120 But it is, yeah. It's harder than staying 729 00:40:18,120 --> 00:40:19,920 somewhere than we'll just zoom out. 730 00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:22,800 The bubble feel is very different though. 731 00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,800 It's not the same. Even when you stay on site, it 732 00:40:25,800 --> 00:40:28,480 doesn't feel quite the same. I suppose it does. 733 00:40:28,600 --> 00:40:31,120 It's more like, again, it's more like staying on site at 734 00:40:31,120 --> 00:40:34,400 Disneyland Paris. So you kind of feel there, but 735 00:40:35,160 --> 00:40:38,040 without, without feeling. You're immersed in this whole 736 00:40:38,800 --> 00:40:41,360 ecosystem type thing. You feel like, well, Disney 737 00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:44,200 World is everything. You're miles away from the 738 00:40:44,200 --> 00:40:51,120 closest McDonald's versus. But you, you are thrust, you are 739 00:40:51,120 --> 00:40:55,720 thrust through commerce every day at Disneyland, if you come 740 00:40:55,720 --> 00:40:58,800 from the hotels, all the hotels are basically a one end of 741 00:40:58,800 --> 00:41:01,560 Downtown Disney. To get to the parks, you have to 742 00:41:02,400 --> 00:41:05,040 basically trekked from one end of Downtown Disney to the other. 743 00:41:05,320 --> 00:41:10,080 So you are you are in that same zone of retail every morning 744 00:41:10,080 --> 00:41:13,160 leaving to go to the parks and on your way back to the hotel. 745 00:41:13,840 --> 00:41:16,320 So that would just feel different because you wouldn't 746 00:41:16,320 --> 00:41:18,880 walk through Disney Springs in that way every day. 747 00:41:19,360 --> 00:41:22,440 You'd be a bit overwhelmed and bit sort of like if you would, 748 00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:25,240 if you were doing that for two solid weeks, you'd be like, I've 749 00:41:25,480 --> 00:41:28,080 sort of had enough of seeing the same shops. 750 00:41:28,680 --> 00:41:32,560 But yeah, it's it's a different experience doing that Trek. 751 00:41:32,560 --> 00:41:34,960 It's not, it's not quite like saying I'm going to hop on the 752 00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:38,960 monorail and just take a nice leisurely loop through the 753 00:41:38,960 --> 00:41:43,880 contemporary back to the grand or the Poly is just not is not 754 00:41:43,880 --> 00:41:46,480 the same vibe. You can ride in the front of the 755 00:41:46,480 --> 00:41:49,120 monorail there though, which you can't do in all Disney World. 756 00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,000 That was very cool. I did do that. 757 00:41:53,600 --> 00:41:55,320 I got in the front of the monorail twice. 758 00:41:55,520 --> 00:41:58,680 It was very cool. We've tried to wait that front 759 00:41:58,680 --> 00:42:04,400 monorail numerous times before, but you the monorail frequency 760 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,400 is not the same as it is in Disney World. 761 00:42:06,440 --> 00:42:09,080 Either they don't have any air conditioning so if it gets hot 762 00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:11,800 it stops running. So in the summer. 763 00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:13,600 Hours on end? Yeah, hours on end. 764 00:42:14,200 --> 00:42:16,240 Yeah, in the summer, it basically doesn't run all 765 00:42:16,240 --> 00:42:18,120 afternoon. It starts off again in the 766 00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,320 evening once it's cooled down a bit because it's too hot to run. 767 00:42:21,320 --> 00:42:24,720 So that's worth noting. So the frequency test track 768 00:42:24,720 --> 00:42:28,560 isn't it then? But the frequency, the frequency 769 00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:31,880 means that sometimes it's like it'll be, it'll be so much 770 00:42:31,880 --> 00:42:34,400 quicker for me to walk all the way through Downtown Disney 771 00:42:34,400 --> 00:42:37,720 movie parks than wait for the mono air because you could be 772 00:42:37,720 --> 00:42:39,840 waiting 20 minutes at least. Do you know what? 773 00:42:39,840 --> 00:42:43,440 When I was there, yeah, Monorail arrived within every 5 minutes. 774 00:42:43,840 --> 00:42:47,240 I got lucky. Good frequency, but in. 775 00:42:47,240 --> 00:42:49,320 The past we've got a there's. A lot of times where we've 776 00:42:49,320 --> 00:42:52,200 waited a while, almost to the point where if he doesn't come 777 00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,280 in the next few minutes, we're going to walk back out and walk 778 00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:57,600 because yeah, you just want to get in the pilot sometimes. 779 00:42:57,600 --> 00:43:00,720 But yeah, slightly different monorail sets up, you know, it's 780 00:43:00,720 --> 00:43:04,400 a different, it's AI think it's a newer monorail, but it's 781 00:43:04,400 --> 00:43:07,320 smaller in size. So you have to duck when you get 782 00:43:07,320 --> 00:43:08,240 in to get. Into it. 783 00:43:08,320 --> 00:43:09,480 It's not. Otherwise you bang your head. 784 00:43:09,960 --> 00:43:15,360 Yeah, but it's very cool. But John mentioned test track 785 00:43:15,440 --> 00:43:19,920 and of course test track is California has their own kind of 786 00:43:20,200 --> 00:43:24,600 same ride but different in Radiator Springs. 787 00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,000 And I feel, I mean that without question. 788 00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,960 It's my favorite ride in in yes. I think it's probably my 789 00:43:30,960 --> 00:43:35,160 favorite ride in all of Disney. And every time I ride test 790 00:43:35,160 --> 00:43:41,440 track, it's almost like not quite the same, not quite the 791 00:43:41,480 --> 00:43:43,880 same. I feel like they've done such a 792 00:43:43,880 --> 00:43:46,640 good job. So if you know, if you've not 793 00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:49,200 been to Disneyland, but you know test track, it's a similar sort 794 00:43:49,200 --> 00:43:52,000 of ride vehicle, but it's all cars themed. 795 00:43:52,200 --> 00:43:55,480 So you're in a whole cars themed area of the of the theme park 796 00:43:55,480 --> 00:43:58,880 and you are going along Radiator Springs. 797 00:43:58,880 --> 00:44:01,520 And then you get to the end and you meet up with another car and 798 00:44:01,520 --> 00:44:05,080 then you have a drag race at the end and one of you wins. 799 00:44:05,080 --> 00:44:06,520 You never know which one it's going to be. 800 00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:09,120 So it's that's always a bit of fun element for like, especially 801 00:44:09,120 --> 00:44:10,480 for kids, like see who's going to win. 802 00:44:11,240 --> 00:44:13,640 And it's just. Like you said that for kids, 803 00:44:13,640 --> 00:44:14,840 it's like no, no, no, that, that. 804 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:23,720 Longitude, Simon. But it's it's, it's so much 805 00:44:23,720 --> 00:44:26,000 longer and it has so much more to it. 806 00:44:26,640 --> 00:44:31,480 I feel like it's. But overall as well, the look of 807 00:44:31,480 --> 00:44:35,480 the whole ride from the outside. Oh yes, it's just amazing so. 808 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:41,240 Much more impressive it's. It's, it really is. 809 00:44:41,240 --> 00:44:45,080 It's one of those rides that I think we we had to get the 810 00:44:45,120 --> 00:44:47,080 Lightning Lane for it. Yes. 811 00:44:47,080 --> 00:44:48,800 Because we wanted to ride it in the evening. 812 00:44:49,040 --> 00:44:52,400 But we also did. We did opening as well. 813 00:44:52,400 --> 00:44:55,360 We did opening and I think we ride a couple of tons and it was 814 00:44:55,360 --> 00:44:57,520 just incredible. It was every ride that we 815 00:44:57,520 --> 00:45:01,160 made-up there. I yeah, I think it is was my 816 00:45:01,160 --> 00:45:03,800 favorite attraction at Disneyland. 817 00:45:04,160 --> 00:45:06,200 Yeah. It's just there's just something 818 00:45:06,200 --> 00:45:07,800 about bookings that area and going. 819 00:45:08,040 --> 00:45:12,080 I've seen so many videos, pictures beforehand of it and 820 00:45:12,080 --> 00:45:16,440 going like I like the cars film. Am I going to like this as much 821 00:45:16,440 --> 00:45:17,800 as I I'm? Hoping I'm not. 822 00:45:18,000 --> 00:45:21,040 I was going to say I don't. I don't like cars. 823 00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:23,960 I don't even big cars. I do I I will go out there and 824 00:45:23,960 --> 00:45:26,080 say I don't even enjoy cars movies. 825 00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:28,120 They're not my thing. I don't enjoy them. 826 00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:32,680 And I'm still saying that whole area is incredible and that ride 827 00:45:32,680 --> 00:45:36,000 specifically is so much fun. And and even that's someone who 828 00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:39,880 doesn't get the cars thing. So it's definitely worth it. 829 00:45:40,040 --> 00:45:42,320 I mean. We discovered Luigi's as well. 830 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:45,520 Oh, they have a ride next door. We only discovered it what on 831 00:45:45,520 --> 00:45:46,800 our last trip. Yeah, because it was. 832 00:45:46,800 --> 00:45:48,720 It had been closed. Before that, yeah. 833 00:45:49,240 --> 00:45:51,040 And then Luigi's were like in Roadsters. 834 00:45:51,160 --> 00:45:55,440 Yes. And I that's so far not not to 835 00:45:55,440 --> 00:45:58,920 be confused with tow maters, which is like. 836 00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:03,280 Yeah, alien swelling source. Alien swelling Source. 837 00:46:03,280 --> 00:46:06,480 It's the same ride, but just with tow mater. 838 00:46:06,720 --> 00:46:11,040 The Luigi's is unique because it's trackless technology and 839 00:46:11,040 --> 00:46:14,000 you're all in cars and they dance around to different songs 840 00:46:15,200 --> 00:46:17,200 and yeah, that's really fun as well. 841 00:46:17,200 --> 00:46:19,520 It's not, it's not a difficult ride or anything that's too 842 00:46:19,520 --> 00:46:23,960 intense, but it is like it is a lot of fun and yeah, just. 843 00:46:25,400 --> 00:46:28,560 As well as fun being. On the ride, yeah. 844 00:46:28,680 --> 00:46:30,520 And you never know what song you're going to get. 845 00:46:30,520 --> 00:46:32,200 There's a there's a selection of them. 846 00:46:32,440 --> 00:46:34,880 I'm always very happy when they get the mambo. 847 00:46:35,680 --> 00:46:37,680 Always like the mambo song. That's my favorite. 848 00:46:39,400 --> 00:46:41,760 Just such a good area. Just yeah, there's. 849 00:46:41,760 --> 00:46:44,280 Never a line either for that. I think I've only ever seen it 850 00:46:44,280 --> 00:46:47,840 20 minutes long so. Yeah, it's, I think we did it 851 00:46:47,840 --> 00:46:50,600 just soccer. Just after at the store. 852 00:46:50,840 --> 00:46:52,960 We we went on. Yeah, we did. 853 00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:57,840 Was it tow mater that we did that one, the Jamboree was it 854 00:46:57,840 --> 00:47:00,280 was raining while we were on it. I remember. 855 00:47:00,920 --> 00:47:03,600 And which one which was fun. It was interesting. 856 00:47:03,600 --> 00:47:05,600 But yeah, we. Just made it made it made the 857 00:47:05,680 --> 00:47:08,880 difference. But this is not about the 858 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,160 theming of the area. And we went back there one 859 00:47:11,160 --> 00:47:13,040 evening to see what it's like at night. 860 00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:14,880 So we could do right at springs races. 861 00:47:15,160 --> 00:47:18,720 And we got some food, and it was the Mac and cheese cone. 862 00:47:18,840 --> 00:47:19,200 Yeah. And. 863 00:47:19,960 --> 00:47:23,200 Do you know I've still? Never had one. 864 00:47:23,360 --> 00:47:25,720 Every time we've been, we're like, we'll get a Mac and cheese 865 00:47:25,720 --> 00:47:28,040 cone this time and then we go, you never got that Mac and 866 00:47:28,040 --> 00:47:29,200 cheese cone again. So. 867 00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:33,760 The atmosphere is so different at night as well, but going 868 00:47:33,760 --> 00:47:38,200 there really made me feel a little bit more hopeful for the 869 00:47:38,200 --> 00:47:40,360 cars there in that they're going to put in Magic Kingdom. 870 00:47:40,920 --> 00:47:43,160 Me too. I think if you, I think anyone 871 00:47:43,160 --> 00:47:46,000 who's been to that area will have high hopes or Disney World, 872 00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,600 I think yes. Which is probably also a little 873 00:47:48,600 --> 00:47:50,880 bit worrying. Because it might live up. 874 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:54,480 Expectations. Let's hope it does it. 875 00:47:54,920 --> 00:47:57,240 It also looks great during Halloween. 876 00:47:57,840 --> 00:47:59,360 Well, yeah, they theme it for Halloween. 877 00:47:59,360 --> 00:48:02,040 Halloween. And at night, it's all lit for 878 00:48:02,040 --> 00:48:05,200 Halloween as well. And it, it looks, it looks 879 00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:06,280 amazing. Like they. 880 00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:08,480 Do it for Christmas as. Well, yeah, they do Christmas, 881 00:48:09,160 --> 00:48:13,240 but yeah, the themed area there I think is just great. 882 00:48:13,240 --> 00:48:16,040 You could wander around there for ages and yeah, go Over and 883 00:48:16,040 --> 00:48:18,520 Flows V8 and get some, get some food. 884 00:48:19,240 --> 00:48:21,680 Yeah. Did you ride the Guardians of 885 00:48:21,680 --> 00:48:25,720 the Galaxy ride in California? I didn't. 886 00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:26,400 You did good. You. 887 00:48:26,440 --> 00:48:27,920 I did, yeah. Well. 888 00:48:28,440 --> 00:48:31,560 We did the fast pass key which means we dipped mess gear. 889 00:48:32,360 --> 00:48:36,040 So I again, that, that was one ride that I did on my very last 890 00:48:36,040 --> 00:48:40,120 day in Walt Disney World and then I did on my second day in 891 00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:42,920 Disneyland. So I got, I got the, I got both 892 00:48:43,080 --> 00:48:46,520 very close to each other. What, what, what do you, how do 893 00:48:46,520 --> 00:48:47,880 you think it compares? What? 894 00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:48,840 What? What do you like? 895 00:48:48,840 --> 00:48:53,000 And they are different. They're very different and I 896 00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:54,840 preferred one in Hollywood studios. 897 00:48:55,520 --> 00:49:01,880 Me too, me too. I would say the one in Calico 898 00:49:01,880 --> 00:49:04,800 Adventure in Avengers Campus made me feel a little bit more 899 00:49:04,800 --> 00:49:06,320 nauseous. Yep. 900 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:11,960 It's a little bit more. You just, it's just always 901 00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,720 constantly moving all the time. It's a lot. 902 00:49:14,720 --> 00:49:17,920 It's just subtle movements. Yeah, it's sometimes it's quite. 903 00:49:17,920 --> 00:49:20,360 Intense. You embarrass all the time and 904 00:49:20,360 --> 00:49:22,880 then yeah, it's good. I love the music. 905 00:49:22,880 --> 00:49:25,880 I love theming. I think it's, I love that it's 906 00:49:25,880 --> 00:49:30,280 like the same ride, but how differently they've interpreted 907 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:34,560 it and how they've made it feel so unique and, and suiting sort 908 00:49:34,560 --> 00:49:36,360 of the sort of Guardians of the Galaxy. 909 00:49:36,360 --> 00:49:42,760 And that's that theming versus sort of Tower of Terror and how 910 00:49:43,040 --> 00:49:46,920 spooky that feels and how you you get that sort of feeling. 911 00:49:46,920 --> 00:49:50,400 But it has one of the best animatronics though, which is a 912 00:49:50,400 --> 00:49:52,200 rocket. Yeah, that's. 913 00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:56,480 That's that's just amazing. Question, did you notice rocket 914 00:49:56,480 --> 00:49:59,640 stealing the headphones in that in the first area? 915 00:49:59,640 --> 00:50:02,400 I hadn't noticed that stay in the walk when I hadn't noticed 916 00:50:02,520 --> 00:50:04,960 No, my friend pointed it out to me when we rode it. 917 00:50:04,960 --> 00:50:07,400 She said, oh, you have to watch stay back like don't run off 918 00:50:07,400 --> 00:50:08,960 with him. I think when we did it we always 919 00:50:08,960 --> 00:50:10,600 rush out the room to get on the ride. 920 00:50:11,680 --> 00:50:14,600 But I'm I'm I'm with you. I found it made me feel queasier 921 00:50:14,960 --> 00:50:18,280 because it lasts longer. The actual dropping rise. 922 00:50:18,320 --> 00:50:21,480 There's a bit where it and then you're watching a screen while 923 00:50:21,480 --> 00:50:23,600 bouncing up and down. Always up and down. 924 00:50:23,920 --> 00:50:27,760 Yeah, so it did. I think it's crazy. 925 00:50:28,400 --> 00:50:30,720 I think Disney have done incredibly well. 926 00:50:31,040 --> 00:50:35,320 This is the first Avengers campus we'd walked into, so for 927 00:50:35,320 --> 00:50:39,720 us it was like, OK, we were expecting a lot and it was just 928 00:50:39,800 --> 00:50:42,600 perfect timing. As soon as we walked into the 929 00:50:42,600 --> 00:50:45,760 land, the opening Avengers theme played. 930 00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,880 It felt like it It was just perfect timing. 931 00:50:48,880 --> 00:50:51,720 And then you just. I had to stop for a minute. 932 00:50:51,880 --> 00:50:53,600 Just to sort of recompose yourself. 933 00:50:53,600 --> 00:50:57,800 Yeah, it wasn't a bit emotional. Yeah, it's, it's such a good 934 00:50:57,800 --> 00:51:01,240 area and I definitely, I know we're not comparing to 935 00:51:01,240 --> 00:51:03,680 Disneyland Paris. However, I definitely think it's 936 00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,840 it's that they've done the better job than Disneyland 937 00:51:05,840 --> 00:51:08,520 Paris. It's very immersive and there's 938 00:51:08,600 --> 00:51:11,440 so many characters still, just they're just roam around. 939 00:51:11,880 --> 00:51:14,960 At one point, he saw so many. We got to Chauncey, Red 940 00:51:14,960 --> 00:51:17,880 Guardian, who at the time was just thunderballs to come out 941 00:51:17,880 --> 00:51:20,280 the week before. So it was literally just off. 942 00:51:20,280 --> 00:51:23,400 And how quick did they come from a film being out to the 943 00:51:23,400 --> 00:51:25,400 characters in the car? It's not like it is. 944 00:51:25,400 --> 00:51:30,280 We'll wait for Maximum Dizzy Plus and then in Parks they are 945 00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:34,200 literally as soon as the film is released, they are within park. 946 00:51:34,200 --> 00:51:37,040 That's I've noticed this and Paris is starting to do that as 947 00:51:37,040 --> 00:51:40,240 well. We managed to see Red Guardian, 948 00:51:40,880 --> 00:51:43,480 Captain America and Spider Man at the same time that. 949 00:51:43,760 --> 00:51:47,520 Was a pretty good. Interaction We saw Black Panther 950 00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:53,400 and also Shiri as Black Panther and Doctor Strange as well. 951 00:51:54,800 --> 00:51:58,520 He was, we're only there for four days, but it was an it, it, 952 00:51:58,520 --> 00:52:01,320 it was amazing. The amount of characters and 953 00:52:01,320 --> 00:52:05,000 that's what I find is very different in Disneyland versus 954 00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:08,520 Walt Disney World. How characters are roaming and 955 00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,240 how entertainment feels very different. 956 00:52:11,800 --> 00:52:13,920 In Walt Disney World, everything's very regimented. 957 00:52:13,920 --> 00:52:18,480 It's like this is a place you go when you join a key for meet and 958 00:52:18,480 --> 00:52:21,520 greet where there's so many roaming characters in 959 00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:24,600 Disneyland. The it's a very different, 960 00:52:24,800 --> 00:52:27,840 different vibe. I really notice the same. 961 00:52:27,840 --> 00:52:32,480 I, I think I understand why because in Walt Disney World 962 00:52:33,000 --> 00:52:35,560 there's more guests, so you need more structure. 963 00:52:37,160 --> 00:52:38,960 And like you said earlier, there's lots of locals that have 964 00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:40,480 met all these characters multiple times. 965 00:52:40,480 --> 00:52:42,120 They're not so bothered about meeting them. 966 00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:44,680 But I mean, I, I was stood next to 1. 967 00:52:45,400 --> 00:52:47,760 I don't know it was. I think it might have been that. 968 00:52:47,840 --> 00:52:49,560 Bad. One you mentioned that was the 969 00:52:49,560 --> 00:52:51,880 not the Black Panther, but like a female black. 970 00:52:51,880 --> 00:52:53,440 Yeah. There you go. 971 00:52:53,560 --> 00:52:55,120 Yeah. I was just stood next to at one 972 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:57,280 point and I was like, oh, she's just watching the show with me, 973 00:52:57,280 --> 00:52:59,200 OK. And I was like, oh, can we take 974 00:52:59,200 --> 00:53:01,000 a photo? Bearing in mind I didn't know 975 00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:02,520 who she was. She's like, yeah, let's take a 976 00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:03,760 photo now. Sound like this. 977 00:53:03,760 --> 00:53:04,800 She's like, no, no, do it the other way. 978 00:53:04,800 --> 00:53:08,080 I was like, OK. It's nothing black answer. 979 00:53:09,840 --> 00:53:12,600 That was great and and that's one thing I I really enjoy. 980 00:53:12,960 --> 00:53:16,120 I really enjoy. I love a character, so I do 981 00:53:16,120 --> 00:53:18,320 enjoy that. The character interaction that 982 00:53:18,320 --> 00:53:22,160 we had with that's America and Spider Man was amazing. 983 00:53:22,160 --> 00:53:24,480 We were just talking about various Yeah, but it was good, 984 00:53:24,600 --> 00:53:29,160 good 5 minute interaction and it, it was yeah, it. 985 00:53:29,920 --> 00:53:32,800 But I'll say the character interactions at Disneyland I 986 00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:35,880 think are better than at Walt Disney World. 987 00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:40,840 I do like the structure of how you go and meet the characters 988 00:53:40,840 --> 00:53:45,360 at Walt Disney World because I'm not one per just putting myself 989 00:53:45,360 --> 00:53:48,120 out there and going to talk to a round of cuffs. 990 00:53:48,920 --> 00:53:50,200 Yeah, yeah. So. 991 00:53:50,200 --> 00:53:53,160 Having somewhere to go. I think it's that queue. 992 00:53:53,160 --> 00:53:55,360 Is that Britishness? We've got queues to go in. 993 00:53:55,360 --> 00:53:59,520 Put my little introvertedness. Yeah, yeah. 994 00:53:59,520 --> 00:54:03,160 It just makes me feel more comfortable rather than having 995 00:54:03,160 --> 00:54:05,840 to try to push my way through a bunch of other people. 996 00:54:07,040 --> 00:54:08,760 Yeah, I get that. I get that. 997 00:54:08,840 --> 00:54:13,000 Yeah, OK, I haven't seen that. But luckily when I was there, 998 00:54:13,000 --> 00:54:15,560 there wasn't really anyone else around, so I didn't have to feel 999 00:54:15,560 --> 00:54:20,120 like I had to shimmy my way in because, yeah, I wouldn't be a 1000 00:54:20,120 --> 00:54:21,400 fan. Wouldn't be a fan of that 1001 00:54:21,520 --> 00:54:23,760 either. But there's lots of rides that 1002 00:54:23,760 --> 00:54:27,640 they have the same and they're similar but different. 1003 00:54:27,640 --> 00:54:30,600 Like The Small World, very similar but different. 1004 00:54:31,560 --> 00:54:33,840 Space Mountain. Similar but different. 1005 00:54:35,600 --> 00:54:39,240 Big Thunder, Yeah. Space Mountain is better. 1006 00:54:39,800 --> 00:54:41,280 Disneyland's better. Do you think they're Big 1007 00:54:41,280 --> 00:54:42,680 Thunder? Yeah, we we did. 1008 00:54:42,960 --> 00:54:44,840 It was hyperspace when we were there, sort of during the. 1009 00:54:44,840 --> 00:54:47,320 Starting season, yeah. And did. 1010 00:54:47,320 --> 00:54:49,760 Did you really think Hyperspace Mountain was good though? 1011 00:54:49,760 --> 00:54:51,720 Because it was Hyperspace Mountain when I was there and I 1012 00:54:51,720 --> 00:54:56,600 felt like they just had four TV screens there and just start all 1013 00:54:56,600 --> 00:54:58,600 stuff on it. The rest of it just took the 1014 00:54:58,800 --> 00:55:01,600 same as normal I think the good music. 1015 00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:04,680 Playing in the speakers, that really helped. 1016 00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:08,080 Yeah, I liked the music, but yeah, we would kind. 1017 00:55:08,160 --> 00:55:09,520 Of like being able to sit next to. 1018 00:55:09,520 --> 00:55:12,840 You next the cart, the state, and sitting next to that was 1019 00:55:12,840 --> 00:55:14,480 cool. Yeah. 1020 00:55:14,560 --> 00:55:16,600 In a rocket shooting. It's a lot easier to get in and 1021 00:55:16,600 --> 00:55:19,920 out than the one thing. That wasn't a fitness bumpy. 1022 00:55:20,640 --> 00:55:23,280 Yes, it is. Like you need a chiropractor. 1023 00:55:25,080 --> 00:55:26,840 We're not talking about the Matterhorn right now. 1024 00:55:27,360 --> 00:55:29,600 Luckily for us, when we were there, the Matterhorn bobsleds 1025 00:55:29,600 --> 00:55:32,920 was under reverb so small. World. 1026 00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,240 That there was a small world because unfortunately The thing 1027 00:55:36,240 --> 00:55:38,960 is when you're going for timing, when you when you book a trip, 1028 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,480 you don't always know what's. Going to be announced. 1029 00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:47,640 If you if you book like the. Unlike they don't announce 1030 00:55:48,600 --> 00:55:54,880 closure, ride closures or night time entertainment and things 1031 00:55:54,880 --> 00:55:58,480 like that as far in advance. So it's only what? 1032 00:55:59,480 --> 00:56:00,400 3. Months. 1033 00:56:00,520 --> 00:56:05,520 I think is the 70th anniversary stuff started at the end of May 1034 00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:11,280 and started and then was more officially from July last year. 1035 00:56:11,560 --> 00:56:15,440 We were there for the first week of May, so we saw our third day 1036 00:56:15,440 --> 00:56:18,120 in the park. They started putting things up. 1037 00:56:18,120 --> 00:56:20,760 So we saw the signs and everything and things that they 1038 00:56:20,760 --> 00:56:23,880 were starting to add for it. We weren't there. 1039 00:56:23,880 --> 00:56:29,200 So a lot of the rights were under reefer or yeah, because 1040 00:56:29,200 --> 00:56:31,920 they were adding the additional bits to was it Small World, the 1041 00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,880 the song at the end. So there was there was stuff 1042 00:56:34,880 --> 00:56:36,880 that was they were changing. So. 1043 00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:39,480 But it also gives an excuse to go back again. 1044 00:56:39,680 --> 00:56:41,160 It does. It does. 1045 00:56:41,200 --> 00:56:44,640 And did you say did you go on Big Thunder there as well 1046 00:56:44,640 --> 00:56:47,640 though? So which big which Big Thunder 1047 00:56:47,640 --> 00:56:50,400 do you think is better? Is land Harris that? 1048 00:56:52,480 --> 00:56:55,680 That doesn't count. Yes, you're correct. 1049 00:56:55,960 --> 00:57:00,600 Without being on the updated version of Big Thunder comparing 1050 00:57:01,080 --> 00:57:02,920 obviously Disneyland was better than Walt Disney. 1051 00:57:03,000 --> 00:57:04,840 Yeah, I would agree for. Me. 1052 00:57:04,840 --> 00:57:07,640 It's, it's been such a long time since I've done Big Thunder at 1053 00:57:07,640 --> 00:57:11,000 Walt Disney World because of the bride closure. 1054 00:57:11,040 --> 00:57:12,600 Yeah. Oh yeah, yeah. 1055 00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:16,400 On that I can't compare the two I. 1056 00:57:16,400 --> 00:57:20,120 Don't think I would say yeah, so long Disneyland, because we've 1057 00:57:20,120 --> 00:57:21,480 got a chance to do it last year, so. 1058 00:57:21,560 --> 00:57:24,080 Yes, that was the only fifth founder we went on last year. 1059 00:57:24,280 --> 00:57:27,480 Yeah, and what about Haunted Mansion? 1060 00:57:27,480 --> 00:57:30,280 Then we did Quick Fire, which is your, which you think's the best 1061 00:57:30,720 --> 00:57:32,360 Disneyland. Disneyland. 1062 00:57:32,520 --> 00:57:34,120 Yeah, What about your? Disneyland. 1063 00:57:34,120 --> 00:57:37,000 I didn't think the the exterior of Disneyland, Yeah, Disneyland 1064 00:57:38,960 --> 00:57:41,440 is just. I don't know, I kind of think 1065 00:57:41,440 --> 00:57:43,720 the ride itself is better in Walt Disney World, though. 1066 00:57:44,560 --> 00:57:47,320 I like the the House of Haunted Mansion, the fact that the lift, 1067 00:57:47,400 --> 00:57:49,360 the stretching room is actually a lift. 1068 00:57:51,200 --> 00:57:54,200 But I think I think Walt Disney World might have it. 1069 00:57:55,360 --> 00:57:57,960 Small world. I'm going to, I'm going to buck 1070 00:57:57,960 --> 00:58:00,160 the trend. I actually think the small world 1071 00:58:00,160 --> 00:58:04,480 is better in Walt Disney World if they put the cat. 1072 00:58:04,480 --> 00:58:06,600 The only thing that's missing from me is the characters and 1073 00:58:06,600 --> 00:58:11,760 the building's beautiful. But I the end scene is much 1074 00:58:11,760 --> 00:58:13,840 bigger and grander in Walt Disney World where everyone 1075 00:58:13,840 --> 00:58:16,240 comes together. I really, I just, I love that 1076 00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:20,600 end scene and like, so I think Walt Disney World has it. 1077 00:58:21,200 --> 00:58:24,880 But otherwise, carousels. I mean carousels and carousels. 1078 00:58:25,160 --> 00:58:27,800 The difference The difference with the carousel in Disneyland 1079 00:58:27,800 --> 00:58:32,080 is that you can often ride with characters that they do ride on 1080 00:58:32,080 --> 00:58:34,240 the carousel I. Think occasionally in what 1081 00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:35,640 Disney World, but not very often. 1082 00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:38,800 It's almost it's it's more or less daily that you see it in 1083 00:58:38,800 --> 00:58:42,040 Disneyland. It's just because the. 1084 00:58:42,080 --> 00:58:45,520 Characters in all though, it's that interaction, it's that it's 1085 00:58:45,520 --> 00:58:49,160 not just about you meeting them. And I think what Disney World's 1086 00:58:49,160 --> 00:58:51,920 got better at it, I think during like the Halloween parties. 1087 00:58:52,440 --> 00:58:54,400 Well then there. You have a little bit more 1088 00:58:55,200 --> 00:59:00,680 freedom, yeah. I do think fantasy land in 1089 00:59:00,680 --> 00:59:03,240 Disneyland as a whole feels more whimsical. 1090 00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:08,280 It's a very small and. Everything's very tight and it's 1091 00:59:08,320 --> 00:59:12,280 very busy. It's very busy, yeah. 1092 00:59:12,920 --> 00:59:17,160 Given that we went to Yeah, when we went to Efteling, if you you 1093 00:59:17,160 --> 00:59:22,560 can see the same whimsical feel, Yeah, in Disneyland, more than I 1094 00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,080 think you can see in Disney World. 1095 00:59:25,200 --> 00:59:28,400 Disney World feels like there's a lot of open concrete space 1096 00:59:28,400 --> 00:59:31,800 between the attractions that that it loses some of, I think 1097 00:59:31,800 --> 00:59:35,440 the intimacy of what Efteling feels like and what they've 1098 00:59:35,440 --> 00:59:37,480 transposed. And I think Disneyland has that 1099 00:59:37,480 --> 00:59:41,440 same intimacy as well, with a lot of greenery and planting 1100 00:59:41,440 --> 00:59:44,320 that makes it feel that way. I think Disney World's just 1101 00:59:44,320 --> 00:59:47,440 moved away from that as they've concreted and opened that area. 1102 00:59:47,440 --> 00:59:49,520 I think they have to. I think they have to, yeah. 1103 00:59:49,600 --> 00:59:50,880 Because there are people that it just. 1104 00:59:50,880 --> 00:59:54,320 Doesn't it doesn't quite have that same whimsical intimacy, 1105 00:59:54,320 --> 00:59:57,720 but I think you get the both Disneyland Paris and Disneyland, 1106 00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:02,840 but feels like a European classic theme park. 1107 01:00:03,640 --> 01:00:06,920 And that's why I think I've, I just think the story, the story, 1108 01:00:07,400 --> 01:00:09,240 but boats. Yeah. 1109 01:00:09,600 --> 01:00:14,480 And Casey Junior ride Mr. Toad the carousel, all of that bit 1110 01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:18,160 there that we, I mean, we'll spend ages in that bit because 1111 01:00:18,160 --> 01:00:20,680 we'll, we'll definitely go round on Mr. Toad's while. 1112 01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:23,320 You know, I didn't. I didn't ride it this time. 1113 01:00:23,440 --> 01:00:25,000 I don't think so. Maybe I did. 1114 01:00:25,080 --> 01:00:26,520 Did I? No, I don't think I did. 1115 01:00:26,520 --> 01:00:31,600 I think we we made our focus because we we booked A5 night 1116 01:00:31,600 --> 01:00:33,800 trip. So the plan was to just focus on 1117 01:00:33,800 --> 01:00:35,680 Disneyland. It's very different booking all 1118 01:00:35,680 --> 01:00:38,080 Disney World, but when you're every two weeks, you focus on 1119 01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,800 days you rest, relax very much for this was like we try to get 1120 01:00:41,800 --> 01:00:46,160 on time as much as possible. Tried to just focus as much time 1121 01:00:46,160 --> 01:00:48,840 in the parks we could and so we did. 1122 01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,040 Buy Lightning Lane every day. Yeah. 1123 01:00:51,400 --> 01:00:55,280 One because the price wasn't as expensive As for Disney World. 1124 01:00:55,640 --> 01:00:57,480 It was cheaper. How How much? 1125 01:00:57,520 --> 01:01:03,240 Not sure whether it will be. Because it was $37 to pence, we 1126 01:01:03,240 --> 01:01:04,320 didn't. Spend that much on. 1127 01:01:04,320 --> 01:01:07,440 It no, I think, I think when we did it before it was like $25 a 1128 01:01:07,440 --> 01:01:09,040 day. It was. $25 a day. 1129 01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:13,440 But the interesting thing about it is, but something that you 1130 01:01:13,440 --> 01:01:16,800 don't think about is in Walt Disney World, if you're buying 1131 01:01:16,800 --> 01:01:19,880 like your 14 day ticket and you've got your photo pass 1132 01:01:19,880 --> 01:01:24,640 included in this standard with your ticket, your five days 1133 01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,480 ticket we bought doesn't have it included. 1134 01:01:26,480 --> 01:01:30,440 But if you get Lightning Lane, it's included in it. 1135 01:01:30,920 --> 01:01:33,840 So it's something else that actually makes it better value. 1136 01:01:34,200 --> 01:01:37,000 So some of the days that we, we wanted to make sure we got it in 1137 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:39,680 the first few days we're in the park, try and get through all of 1138 01:01:39,680 --> 01:01:42,000 the attractions. And it meant that we could just 1139 01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:45,080 take it out of pace that like we will book one later in the day. 1140 01:01:45,080 --> 01:01:47,960 So we could let three later in the day so we can then spend the 1141 01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:51,400 morning that rope drop going on other attractions and fitting in 1142 01:01:51,400 --> 01:01:54,040 everything because there's also entertainment to focus on. 1143 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:55,960 There were so many different things we were trying to do. 1144 01:01:56,840 --> 01:01:58,120 But. Unfortunately, we were there 1145 01:01:58,120 --> 01:02:02,280 midweek, and not just midweek, but we were there from a Sunday 1146 01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:05,640 to a Thursday. So when we got there on a Sunday 1147 01:02:05,640 --> 01:02:09,800 for our first park day, it was Star Wars weekend, so they'd 1148 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:14,040 closed the park in the evening and for a ticketed event. 1149 01:02:14,520 --> 01:02:17,840 So the fireworks was Star Wars, but we couldn't have access to 1150 01:02:17,840 --> 01:02:19,560 it. So we didn't get chance to see 1151 01:02:19,760 --> 01:02:23,240 fireworks, which was our only day to see the fireworks because 1152 01:02:23,240 --> 01:02:27,040 it's seasonal park. Yeah, that's definitely 1153 01:02:27,040 --> 01:02:29,760 something worth you have. You don't think about that when 1154 01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:32,000 you're used to Walt Disney World, where entertainment is on 1155 01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:36,280 every day. You don't think about, oh, well, 1156 01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:40,040 if I go midweek, Fantasmic's not on, the fireworks are not on. 1157 01:02:40,480 --> 01:02:42,400 And and that's it's quite common. 1158 01:02:42,440 --> 01:02:45,720 You have to try and time it. So you'll be there at a weekend 1159 01:02:46,040 --> 01:02:48,080 unfortunately, but that's when the crowds are there. 1160 01:02:48,160 --> 01:02:50,200 So it's. Yeah, or go peak season. 1161 01:02:50,680 --> 01:02:53,440 Or peak season. Yeah, that's also worth doing. 1162 01:02:54,040 --> 01:02:58,280 We we we bought Lightning Lanes and I really go back to what you 1163 01:02:58,280 --> 01:03:00,520 said. I really found them so different 1164 01:03:00,520 --> 01:03:03,280 toward Disney World in the they're readily available. 1165 01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:06,880 Well, Disney World Bookie 3, you're lucky if you can get 1166 01:03:06,880 --> 01:03:09,400 another one sometimes, depending. 1167 01:03:09,400 --> 01:03:12,680 On at least at the right time as well when you want it, not like 1168 01:03:12,680 --> 01:03:14,480 9:00 at night. Exactly. 1169 01:03:14,560 --> 01:03:16,640 One in the afternoon. Exactly. 1170 01:03:16,800 --> 01:03:21,320 I really noticed that difference and this, this is worth noting 1171 01:03:21,320 --> 01:03:24,920 that a lot of rides are not on Lightning Lane in, in, in 1172 01:03:24,920 --> 01:03:26,520 Disneyland versus what Disney World? 1173 01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:29,160 Well, pretty much everything is. There's a lot of rides not 1174 01:03:29,160 --> 01:03:31,120 available on it. Like in California Adventure, 1175 01:03:31,120 --> 01:03:33,840 there's so there's, there's not that many rides on it. 1176 01:03:34,520 --> 01:03:38,120 So once you've done the big ticket things like the things 1177 01:03:38,120 --> 01:03:42,440 like Luigi's and tomatoes and there's, there's no Lightning 1178 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:43,920 Lane. So you still have to get up for 1179 01:03:43,920 --> 01:03:47,280 those anyway. Yeah, spoken about is the 1180 01:03:47,280 --> 01:03:50,840 castle, which is very different. I know Walt Disney World has 1181 01:03:50,840 --> 01:03:55,240 just finished nearly finished being repainted back to this its 1182 01:03:55,240 --> 01:03:57,280 new colours regional. Millennial Grey. 1183 01:03:58,040 --> 01:04:02,520 Millennial Grey Just. Colour for Disney Castle. 1184 01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:07,400 Yeah, it's everyone said like before going to Disneyland get 1185 01:04:07,400 --> 01:04:09,880 prepared for a smaller cars and I thought OK, yeah, it's going 1186 01:04:09,880 --> 01:04:11,680 to be small. I didn't realise how small in 1187 01:04:11,680 --> 01:04:14,760 comparison the Walt Disney World and then you look at other 1188 01:04:14,760 --> 01:04:19,400 castles around the world, Shanghai before and how big that 1189 01:04:19,400 --> 01:04:21,920 castle is. It's tiny in comparison. 1190 01:04:22,480 --> 01:04:24,120 It's like a third of the height, isn't it? 1191 01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:27,440 It's only about 60 feet tall. But it does have a working 1192 01:04:27,440 --> 01:04:29,720 drawbridge bridge, doesn't it? I'm sure I've read that. 1193 01:04:29,720 --> 01:04:34,560 But when you get to that reveal, Libya, walking down Main Street, 1194 01:04:34,560 --> 01:04:36,400 it's like, OK, I need my binoculars. 1195 01:04:37,000 --> 01:04:39,480 It's like actually as long as it is. 1196 01:04:39,480 --> 01:04:41,320 But it's like, where's this castle when you've got people 1197 01:04:41,320 --> 01:04:45,000 walking towards the castle? You can't see it. 1198 01:04:45,680 --> 01:04:47,960 Yeah, you can't see it. You can't see it. 1199 01:04:48,120 --> 01:04:50,400 It's really bizarre. Especially when the amount of 1200 01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:53,520 time this week because we've been to Disney World probably 1201 01:04:53,520 --> 01:04:55,680 about I. Think we are in double figures 1202 01:04:55,680 --> 01:04:57,120 at this. Point yeah, at least double 1203 01:04:57,120 --> 01:04:58,920 figures before going to Disneyland. 1204 01:04:59,320 --> 01:05:04,080 And it was just like, you get so used to going to a Disney park 1205 01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:06,520 and just knowing where things are. 1206 01:05:06,520 --> 01:05:08,800 And I think even when the first time we went to Disneyland Paris 1207 01:05:08,800 --> 01:05:11,480 a few years ago, he saw, OK, everything's in a slightly 1208 01:05:11,480 --> 01:05:13,200 different location, but I know where I am. 1209 01:05:13,400 --> 01:05:17,320 But I use the castle as sort of the main point of to make focal 1210 01:05:17,320 --> 01:05:19,040 point. When you can't see it at first, 1211 01:05:19,600 --> 01:05:22,680 you reference point, you're like, oh, this is, this isn't 1212 01:05:22,960 --> 01:05:25,840 what I was expecting. Yeah, and wherever you are in 1213 01:05:25,840 --> 01:05:28,560 the park, you can look, oh, the castle's there, so I know I need 1214 01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:31,080 to go that way. You can't do that in Disneyland. 1215 01:05:32,040 --> 01:05:34,240 You get confused with malhorn bobsleds. 1216 01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:36,880 Yeah, exactly. Exactly. 1217 01:05:36,880 --> 01:05:41,840 That's taller, Yeah. It has its charm, though. 1218 01:05:41,880 --> 01:05:44,400 It's the original Disney castle. It's the first one they ever 1219 01:05:44,400 --> 01:05:46,280 did. So it definitely it's walking 1220 01:05:46,280 --> 01:05:48,920 in. Walking in Walks Park is, yeah, 1221 01:05:49,080 --> 01:05:52,760 just something I, I remember we did, we did vlog it. 1222 01:05:52,760 --> 01:05:54,960 We did, we did. I remember doing the wrap up at 1223 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:58,560 the end and just getting quite emotional when we left the park 1224 01:05:58,560 --> 01:06:01,160 for the last time tonight. We've actually been and we've 1225 01:06:01,200 --> 01:06:04,920 been into Walks Park. We take that and park off our 1226 01:06:04,920 --> 01:06:08,560 list and I'm like, I can't wait to come back and I know there's 1227 01:06:08,560 --> 01:06:11,400 going to be lots of changes, but or the next time we go back to 1228 01:06:11,400 --> 01:06:14,440 Disneyland. But it's definitely one of those 1229 01:06:14,440 --> 01:06:16,800 cool memories. What do you think, John? 1230 01:06:16,800 --> 01:06:18,880 Have we convinced you that you need to give it a go? 1231 01:06:18,880 --> 01:06:22,360 Maybe just shave a few days off of Walt Disney World one year? 1232 01:06:22,600 --> 01:06:25,400 Just a. Long. 1233 01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,240 Trip. Exactly. 1234 01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:28,960 Yeah. And that's my question for you 1235 01:06:28,960 --> 01:06:32,840 because actually now as you've been chatting and you know, you 1236 01:06:32,840 --> 01:06:37,760 look at the options so and, and I, you know, admittedly I do a 1237 01:06:37,760 --> 01:06:39,280 lot of driving during the week anyway. 1238 01:06:39,280 --> 01:06:45,320 So it's actually a 36 hour car journey between the two places. 1239 01:06:46,280 --> 01:06:50,240 Now, I mean, I'm not get on a plane, get on a plane. 1240 01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,840 It was 100 and something. Pounds Get on a plane. 1241 01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:54,680 Yeah. Fair enough. 1242 01:06:55,280 --> 01:06:59,040 Yeah, but I could go. Yeah, yeah, that's who's in the 1243 01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:00,120 yeah. Well, there you go. 1244 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:03,320 Yeah, 3. $100 in in gas. And hotels. 1245 01:07:03,840 --> 01:07:06,120 Yeah, I do sort of get your point. 1246 01:07:06,160 --> 01:07:07,120 Well, I think where you're going. 1247 01:07:07,480 --> 01:07:10,840 To a road trip, a road trip is going to see parts of America 1248 01:07:10,840 --> 01:07:14,640 across the basically across the I-40 or the I-10. 1249 01:07:15,080 --> 01:07:17,800 And you could actually go Albuquerque in Dallas and Fort 1250 01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:22,640 Worth or he got Houston, Austin. And I was just thinking about 1251 01:07:22,760 --> 01:07:26,120 you could you could actually, if you timed it right in the year, 1252 01:07:26,120 --> 01:07:29,200 you could actually either pick up either American football or 1253 01:07:29,200 --> 01:07:32,920 baseball because you're basically that far South that 1254 01:07:32,920 --> 01:07:34,840 you're not going to ever get any bad weather. 1255 01:07:35,400 --> 01:07:37,760 And then if you. Go in hurricane season? 1256 01:07:37,760 --> 01:07:42,000 Well, yeah. Challenge. 1257 01:07:42,320 --> 01:07:47,760 Yeah, but that that I think that that whole bit about walking in 1258 01:07:47,760 --> 01:07:51,760 Walt's footsteps, I think it's a bit that I think for any Disney 1259 01:07:51,760 --> 01:07:58,000 fan is, is the one part of the the whole trip to the West 1260 01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,480 Coast. That is is why you want to go 1261 01:08:00,480 --> 01:08:02,480 there. And and apart from the sea, 1262 01:08:02,800 --> 01:08:04,360 apart from the sea has there, obviously. 1263 01:08:04,400 --> 01:08:08,360 Yeah. No, we're all one time, Heather. 1264 01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:10,720 We'll just all turn up and we're all going to come round to yours 1265 01:08:10,720 --> 01:08:12,560 and we'll drink tea and things like that, you know? 1266 01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:17,439 And we'll go to Disneyland. Yeah, but I think that's the 1267 01:08:17,439 --> 01:08:19,840 reason it has to be done. And I think that's why I admire 1268 01:08:20,040 --> 01:08:22,439 you guys and the fact that you've actually got got out 1269 01:08:22,439 --> 01:08:26,120 there, you've done it, you've seen it, and you can compare the 1270 01:08:26,120 --> 01:08:28,600 two places and I actually see, you know. 1271 01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:31,080 Yeah. In some respects, there's no 1272 01:08:31,080 --> 01:08:33,720 right or wrong to this because actually I think the two 1273 01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:35,760 completely different experiences. 1274 01:08:36,439 --> 01:08:38,960 Yeah, but I still want to go to Disneyland. 1275 01:08:39,160 --> 01:08:41,960 Clearly from the fact that it's, it's the original 1. 1276 01:08:42,960 --> 01:08:46,080 For. A for a price comparison and we 1277 01:08:46,080 --> 01:08:50,560 went to Orlando back in January. We were there for a week. 1278 01:08:51,040 --> 01:08:56,399 We spent roughly about the same price for the hotel and flights 1279 01:08:56,680 --> 01:08:58,640 as what we did for our five nights at Disneyland. 1280 01:08:58,920 --> 01:09:00,760 Yeah. Yeah, so. 1281 01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:03,840 It's it's not particularly different in price. 1282 01:09:04,279 --> 01:09:09,399 Yes, tickets are more expensive, a bit longer, but it's it's what 1283 01:09:09,399 --> 01:09:11,319 was what surprised me about the flight. 1284 01:09:11,319 --> 01:09:15,520 We got some pizza, which is quite nice, but something 1285 01:09:15,560 --> 01:09:18,520 different that that was really surprising. 1286 01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:22,640 But I have to admit it was when we when everyone's because a lot 1287 01:09:22,640 --> 01:09:26,080 of everyone's holidays, there's budget always comes into. 1288 01:09:26,479 --> 01:09:30,240 So it's trying to work out what is your why of going our why of 1289 01:09:30,240 --> 01:09:32,359 going was yesterday morning holiday. 1290 01:09:32,760 --> 01:09:35,160 It's a different trip to go into Orlando. 1291 01:09:35,160 --> 01:09:37,520 We got the experience to go to Max Airport, which is an 1292 01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,359 experience in itself, absolutely. 1293 01:09:40,200 --> 01:09:44,399 And getting from there to the hotel, staying off site, staying 1294 01:09:44,399 --> 01:09:48,279 in a different hotel and just being 10 minutes walk from 1295 01:09:49,720 --> 01:09:53,160 Disneyland and just being able to eat off site within a few 1296 01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:57,080 minutes where without needing a car or all these different 1297 01:09:57,080 --> 01:09:59,560 things that add up into your holiday. 1298 01:10:00,840 --> 01:10:02,880 I would happily if I saw the price again that they'll be 1299 01:10:02,880 --> 01:10:05,000 booked for Disneyland. I'll be tended. 1300 01:10:05,080 --> 01:10:09,680 I really would. And it's it's so easy to weave 1301 01:10:09,680 --> 01:10:13,440 full run into over since we started going in 2013 to Walt 1302 01:10:13,440 --> 01:10:16,040 Disney World that once you've been to a Disney World, you 1303 01:10:16,040 --> 01:10:17,680 always want to go back to Disney World. 1304 01:10:18,200 --> 01:10:22,120 But there's more Disney parks. It's just pricing it up and 1305 01:10:22,320 --> 01:10:23,720 seeing what all of them have to offer. 1306 01:10:23,720 --> 01:10:26,440 And I know we've got, we've been talking about going to 1307 01:10:26,440 --> 01:10:28,160 Disneyland Paris. I know we've mentioned it a few 1308 01:10:28,160 --> 01:10:35,400 times in the show that a lot has changed in in. 21. 2020. 1309 01:10:35,400 --> 01:10:37,920 Two Oh wow, that match has changed. 1310 01:10:39,800 --> 01:10:42,320 But hopefully we can convince you, John, that you need. 1311 01:10:42,360 --> 01:10:45,240 When you think about it, it's not really the only extra you 1312 01:10:45,240 --> 01:10:48,240 have to pay on top of Walt Disney World trip if you do it 1313 01:10:48,240 --> 01:10:51,520 within the same trip is you have to pay for an internal flight 1314 01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:55,760 because you can do into Orlando and out of LAX or vice versa. 1315 01:10:56,080 --> 01:10:58,840 So you just got the internal flight hop over and then Disney 1316 01:10:58,840 --> 01:11:00,720 tickets. It's definitely doable. 1317 01:11:01,840 --> 01:11:04,960 Yeah, there's some. There's some great hotels, like 1318 01:11:04,960 --> 01:11:08,640 budget hotels that are walkable. There's even like Super 8 1319 01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:12,480 Travelodge type hotels I celebrate in the Sheraton. 1320 01:11:13,320 --> 01:11:15,800 Yeah. I mean, the Howard Johnson is, 1321 01:11:15,800 --> 01:11:19,320 is my offsite one of preference. But I mean, there's so many that 1322 01:11:19,320 --> 01:11:21,480 are offsite. You don't have to spend a 1323 01:11:21,480 --> 01:11:23,160 fortune. The Disneyland hotels are 1324 01:11:23,160 --> 01:11:25,320 expensive. There's just no way around that. 1325 01:11:25,320 --> 01:11:27,720 If you're paying cash. There are a lot of money. 1326 01:11:28,200 --> 01:11:31,120 I I, I wouldn't be paying them personally because I ain't got 1327 01:11:31,120 --> 01:11:33,600 that some money. People do. 1328 01:11:33,600 --> 01:11:38,600 But there are so many great walkable hotels in the area that 1329 01:11:38,600 --> 01:11:40,080 you can just, you can stay off site. 1330 01:11:40,080 --> 01:11:41,840 You can eat the IHOP around the corner. 1331 01:11:41,840 --> 01:11:42,520 You don't have to. Yeah, I. 1332 01:11:43,440 --> 01:11:45,960 Think that's that's the flip. That's the flip though, isn't 1333 01:11:46,000 --> 01:11:47,480 it? Never break the walk to. 1334 01:11:47,480 --> 01:11:50,720 McDonald's the water. So totally with the blaze. 1335 01:11:50,800 --> 01:11:52,400 Pizza as well, just down the road. 1336 01:11:52,640 --> 01:11:54,440 Is there there's a Blaze Pizza. I missed that. 1337 01:11:54,440 --> 01:11:55,760 There's a Blaze. Yeah. 1338 01:11:55,760 --> 01:11:59,760 We don't like to buy this. This is the downside actually, 1339 01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:03,320 when you stay in Disneyland, it's I didn't step foot outside 1340 01:12:03,840 --> 01:12:05,400 so I didn't see anything outside. 1341 01:12:05,400 --> 01:12:08,360 I literally flew into LA, got picked up and we went to 1342 01:12:08,360 --> 01:12:11,640 Disneyland and then same in reverse. 1343 01:12:11,680 --> 01:12:15,000 So that's why I. Think mess walked past 20 1344 01:12:15,000 --> 01:12:16,800 different hotels from miles anyway. 1345 01:12:16,920 --> 01:12:21,600 There were so many in that area, Castle Inn and Suites, who are 1346 01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:26,600 several times and there's just so many different sort of place 1347 01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:29,760 in shops along there from like, you know, centres for scenes. 1348 01:12:30,200 --> 01:12:35,680 To CBS, there's 711. Yes, there's so much along that 1349 01:12:36,200 --> 01:12:38,080 stretch, but we haven't spoken about one thing. 1350 01:12:38,080 --> 01:12:41,160 But before we wrap up to our show, we haven't spoken about 1351 01:12:41,160 --> 01:12:44,520 food. Walt Disney World about food. 1352 01:12:44,760 --> 01:12:46,760 Yeah, but we haven't compared the park food. 1353 01:12:47,400 --> 01:12:49,160 All I can say is Disneyland wins. 1354 01:12:50,280 --> 01:12:52,520 But it depends what you want. It depends what. 1355 01:12:52,560 --> 01:12:54,080 You want you want a churro, didn't I? 1356 01:12:54,360 --> 01:12:55,680 Definitely. Oh, if you want a churro, then 1357 01:12:55,680 --> 01:12:58,600 yeah, definitely. I also think that they, I think 1358 01:12:58,600 --> 01:13:01,920 because it probably because it's California versus Florida, there 1359 01:13:01,920 --> 01:13:04,880 are a lot, there's a lot more variation in the quick service 1360 01:13:04,880 --> 01:13:07,720 and a lot of healthier options. I found there are a lot of 1361 01:13:07,720 --> 01:13:11,280 healthier options available rather than the standard. 1362 01:13:11,360 --> 01:13:14,200 I mean, you could get burgers and fries and hot dogs and fries 1363 01:13:14,200 --> 01:13:17,880 obviously, but there was a lot more other options. 1364 01:13:18,200 --> 01:13:19,480 Quick service. I find I. 1365 01:13:20,040 --> 01:13:21,760 Think we ate quick service all week? 1366 01:13:21,920 --> 01:13:24,160 We didn't have a table service restaurant, so we can't really 1367 01:13:24,160 --> 01:13:28,240 compare those or we can compare them that We did look at some of 1368 01:13:28,240 --> 01:13:30,840 the menus and none of them particularly appealed. 1369 01:13:31,480 --> 01:13:33,520 Or another stick out. I didn't. 1370 01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,760 Stick out enough for us to want to book one in a short trip and 1371 01:13:37,760 --> 01:13:40,120 take time away from it by dining. 1372 01:13:40,760 --> 01:13:42,760 Also, doing that first trick to Disneyland, you want to fit 1373 01:13:42,760 --> 01:13:43,480 everything. You want to? 1374 01:13:43,480 --> 01:13:44,200 Yeah. What are you doing well? 1375 01:13:44,200 --> 01:13:45,520 Disney World just trying to fit everything. 1376 01:13:45,520 --> 01:13:46,920 It's like I don't want to waste type eating. 1377 01:13:47,080 --> 01:13:49,480 I want to be on all these rides on experience and everything. 1378 01:13:49,800 --> 01:13:52,440 So, but the next time we go, we're probably more being 1379 01:13:52,440 --> 01:13:55,480 clients book things like fantastic dining package or 1380 01:13:55,760 --> 01:13:57,880 even. If you do, they do a quick 1381 01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:00,880 service option of Fantasmic dining package, you know, so 1382 01:14:00,880 --> 01:14:03,960 it's that's really good value. I think it's less than $20.00 I 1383 01:14:04,000 --> 01:14:06,400 think when I last. Looked and it was nice to have a 1384 01:14:06,400 --> 01:14:08,560 churro that wasn't. Stale. 1385 01:14:08,560 --> 01:14:11,440 Stale. Yeah. 1386 01:14:12,360 --> 01:14:15,640 Great minds, it's. Pretty much the most anyone I've 1387 01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:17,480 had about Dizzy World is latest Rock Hard. 1388 01:14:17,680 --> 01:14:19,480 Yeah, it. Was also really nice to have 1389 01:14:19,480 --> 01:14:21,120 them in different flavours. Yes. 1390 01:14:21,360 --> 01:14:23,320 There was not that many flavours. 1391 01:14:23,560 --> 01:14:25,040 There were not that many different flavours. 1392 01:14:25,040 --> 01:14:27,760 This trip I searched every time we passed one. 1393 01:14:27,760 --> 01:14:29,920 They just had the standard flavours, which I was surprised 1394 01:14:29,920 --> 01:14:31,160 that. Was it last year we had the 1395 01:14:31,160 --> 01:14:34,720 poison apple one? No, that was it before. 1396 01:14:34,720 --> 01:14:36,400 Yeah, before poison. Apple One. 1397 01:14:37,360 --> 01:14:39,160 What was the one we had? At Carlsland. 1398 01:14:39,280 --> 01:14:40,640 Banana cream. Banana cream. 1399 01:14:40,800 --> 01:14:43,080 Oh no, you can keep that one. I wouldn't it. 1400 01:14:44,600 --> 01:14:48,080 Was really nice. But yeah, there's, there's, so 1401 01:14:48,160 --> 01:14:49,200 there's, there's lots of options. 1402 01:14:49,200 --> 01:14:52,200 And one thing that's a difference between the two is 1403 01:14:52,240 --> 01:14:55,480 everywhere asks you if you take this if you've got any discounts 1404 01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,440 and they take discounts at all the quick service and loads of 1405 01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:01,280 the food if you. Order on the app, it's their 1406 01:15:01,280 --> 01:15:03,200 straight away. It's their straight away. 1407 01:15:03,280 --> 01:15:06,040 Order, we use that quite a lot because it was just easy because 1408 01:15:06,040 --> 01:15:08,960 we're focusing on quick service. It's like, OK, we're going to, 1409 01:15:08,960 --> 01:15:11,880 we've got this few rides booked, we want some food, so we went to 1410 01:15:11,880 --> 01:15:13,800 see hungry. Hungry. 1411 01:15:14,480 --> 01:15:18,200 Bear Oh yeah, I quite liked it. Yeah, that's true. 1412 01:15:18,200 --> 01:15:20,000 One by Tiana's. Yeah. 1413 01:15:20,280 --> 01:15:24,440 And then we went to the one by soaring as well. 1414 01:15:24,520 --> 01:15:27,160 Yeah. Yeah, it's a very nice breakfast 1415 01:15:27,640 --> 01:15:29,440 grill. Yeah, they yeah, we were there 1416 01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:31,240 for breakfast. Yeah, yeah. 1417 01:15:31,240 --> 01:15:33,000 We had breakfast there that was. Fun. 1418 01:15:33,040 --> 01:15:35,640 It was only nice breakfast. Yeah, take a chance of drink. 1419 01:15:35,680 --> 01:15:38,920 And it was very good timing for when we did soaring when we were 1420 01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,160 over there because it was soaring over California. 1421 01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:44,760 Yeah, I got that too, I think. Must be this time of year, yeah. 1422 01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:48,160 Isn't the theming of that area great for soaring? 1423 01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:50,520 Yeah, it's like you're in an aircraft hangar. 1424 01:15:50,680 --> 01:15:51,320 That's very. Cool. 1425 01:15:51,400 --> 01:15:54,200 And then the plane. Outside and you're back onto the 1426 01:15:54,200 --> 01:15:58,240 arts and crafts side of of the the Grand California as well. 1427 01:15:58,560 --> 01:16:02,280 It just, it just feels right how that is themed. 1428 01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:06,600 You're in like airfield hangars going to ride and sawing. 1429 01:16:07,280 --> 01:16:08,080 That's. Very cool. 1430 01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:11,480 The one thing that I always take away from Disneyland when I'm 1431 01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,680 there is how how embedded it feels. 1432 01:16:15,080 --> 01:16:18,960 And I think Disney World you there is a bit more of a stark 1433 01:16:18,960 --> 01:16:21,760 contrast of yeah, there's loads of trees and then all of a 1434 01:16:21,760 --> 01:16:25,160 sudden it's like loads of concrete, loads of concrete 1435 01:16:25,160 --> 01:16:27,000 footpaths. And it's there's a bit more of a 1436 01:16:27,000 --> 01:16:32,120 stark contrast and and visual of Disney World, whereas I feel 1437 01:16:32,120 --> 01:16:37,080 like it, it almost sits within its surroundings, especially in 1438 01:16:37,080 --> 01:16:40,840 the Disneyland park, the trees and the leaves that fall, it 1439 01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,120 feels like. They've always been there, been 1440 01:16:43,440 --> 01:16:46,080 there, and Disneyland was built around them, which maybe it was, 1441 01:16:46,080 --> 01:16:48,800 to be fair, maybe it. Was but it feels but it feels 1442 01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,520 like that when the when the leaves are falling and there's 1443 01:16:51,720 --> 01:16:56,080 and it's like autumnal feel and that, that it just feels like it 1444 01:16:56,080 --> 01:16:58,760 belongs in its surroundings a bit more, less, less. 1445 01:16:58,960 --> 01:16:59,840 Purpose. Built. 1446 01:16:59,960 --> 01:17:00,400 Yeah. Which? 1447 01:17:02,200 --> 01:17:04,400 Which I think probably is correct, isn't it? 1448 01:17:04,400 --> 01:17:06,840 Because yes, Disneyland was purposely built, but it was just 1449 01:17:07,560 --> 01:17:11,520 built there, whereas Walt Disney found the area for Walt Disney 1450 01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:15,160 World and bought bits of land and purposely built a giant 1451 01:17:15,240 --> 01:17:16,160 place built. Everything. 1452 01:17:16,520 --> 01:17:20,280 Yeah, exactly so. It's my Walt Disney World was 1453 01:17:20,520 --> 01:17:23,760 sort of built like what but you couldn't do at Disneyland. 1454 01:17:24,240 --> 01:17:26,800 Exactly. If you could do what he wanted 1455 01:17:26,800 --> 01:17:29,320 at Disneyland. If he had a lot of space. 1456 01:17:29,560 --> 01:17:34,200 Yeah, that is, that is true. I love the romanticism, the 1457 01:17:34,200 --> 01:17:36,760 romanticism of the original Disneyland. 1458 01:17:37,560 --> 01:17:41,280 It feels like, like you said, John, the walk in and waltz 1459 01:17:41,280 --> 01:17:43,320 footsteps thing. Not something I referenced 1460 01:17:43,320 --> 01:17:47,440 there, but it it just has a certain romantic feel to the 1461 01:17:47,440 --> 01:17:49,040 place. Old Disney. 1462 01:17:49,200 --> 01:17:51,720 It feels like old classic Disney. 1463 01:17:51,920 --> 01:17:55,560 For any Disney lover, I think you will enjoy Disneyland. 1464 01:17:55,560 --> 01:17:58,360 You go, you go in the Firestone. On your adventure. 1465 01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:02,960 Yeah, which is yeah in your. Park, that's that same feel to 1466 01:18:02,960 --> 01:18:05,200 it, yeah. I would say that's that's what 1467 01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:06,480 Hollywood studios could have been. 1468 01:18:07,600 --> 01:18:09,640 Yeah. But I feel like with what 1469 01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:12,160 Hollywood Studios we discussed about earlier, I'm looking at 1470 01:18:12,160 --> 01:18:15,640 these pictures now and I'm just going like, that reminds me so 1471 01:18:15,640 --> 01:18:19,320 much of being in California Adventure and going like, OK, 1472 01:18:19,320 --> 01:18:21,800 this is where we're getting there. 1473 01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:24,760 Hollywood Studios has gone through so many different phases 1474 01:18:25,080 --> 01:18:27,720 since it opened. It feels like it's finally 1475 01:18:27,720 --> 01:18:30,480 getting an identity, a bit more of an identity than it's had in 1476 01:18:30,480 --> 01:18:32,520 the past decade or so. Yeah. 1477 01:18:33,280 --> 01:18:34,800 And that's fine. When they can work out what they 1478 01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:38,680 wanted to rename the park. Then it was like we've gone from 1479 01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:42,320 being a studio to are we going just to put everyone in a story? 1480 01:18:42,320 --> 01:18:45,200 We're still keeping the studio bit what are we doing as our, 1481 01:18:45,560 --> 01:18:47,120 what do we take out? What do we move? 1482 01:18:47,400 --> 01:18:51,000 And now I think things have moved in to the right direction 1483 01:18:51,080 --> 01:18:54,800 and just seeing what they've they they're doing in this area 1484 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,360 with Launch Bay was I just think it's moving in the right 1485 01:18:58,360 --> 01:18:59,480 direction. It really is. 1486 01:19:01,440 --> 01:19:05,320 So do you need your question answering Ben is is the West 1487 01:19:05,400 --> 01:19:07,000 goes better? Yeah. 1488 01:19:08,480 --> 01:19:09,560 And what's your name? Simon. 1489 01:19:09,840 --> 01:19:15,800 For, for me, I, I love California generally anyway and 1490 01:19:15,840 --> 01:19:19,320 I think I came away last September and I think I said 1491 01:19:19,320 --> 01:19:23,040 this to you at the time, I was like, right now Disneyland for 1492 01:19:23,040 --> 01:19:27,160 me is where it's at. But I'll see if my mind has 1493 01:19:27,160 --> 01:19:28,720 changed later in the year when I'm back at. 1494 01:19:28,720 --> 01:19:30,520 Disney World. I've not been there. 1495 01:19:30,600 --> 01:19:33,920 For a few years. Yeah, Last August we were of all 1496 01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:36,840 Disney World. We'd spent two weeks there and 1497 01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:40,960 after being in Disneyland for five nights and then going, 1498 01:19:40,960 --> 01:19:45,760 well, Disney World in August, well, Disney World is home, but 1499 01:19:45,760 --> 01:19:47,760 Disneyland has my heart. It's. 1500 01:19:47,800 --> 01:19:50,280 Exactly. It was one of those things that 1501 01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:54,680 I exactly felt when we walked into California Adventure was 1502 01:19:54,680 --> 01:19:58,720 the first park in Disneyland we walked into and then we went, I 1503 01:19:58,720 --> 01:20:02,360 was like the the Disneyland park the following day and I was just 1504 01:20:02,360 --> 01:20:05,040 gonna this is just magical. It's just, there's just 1505 01:20:05,040 --> 01:20:07,360 something about it you don't get until you're there. 1506 01:20:07,920 --> 01:20:11,960 And, and I love Walt Disney World and it's still my my home, 1507 01:20:12,360 --> 01:20:15,560 but we're going to have to go to get back to Disneyland in the 1508 01:20:15,560 --> 01:20:17,720 next few years. I miss Walt Disney World when 1509 01:20:17,720 --> 01:20:20,440 I'm not there. Yeah, yeah, that sounds. 1510 01:20:20,920 --> 01:20:23,480 Yeah, yeah, I love.

Yeah. 1514 01:20:32,240 --> 01:20:33,920 That that it was that it was endless. 1515 01:20:34,640 --> 01:20:38,360 Yeah. That's all. 1516 01:20:40,640 --> 01:20:43,000 I'm not in Disneyland park, Yeah. 1517 01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:45,160 That's. Yeah, it's the. 1518 01:20:45,160 --> 01:20:46,400 It's the Matterhorn for.
