Hi, guys, how are you? 22 00:01:16,920 --> 00:01:17,320 Hello. There. 23 00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,280 Yeah, we're fine. Thanks for having us on. 24 00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:21,200 Yeah, I'm looking forward to this. 25 00:01:22,200 --> 00:01:23,720 It's been in the planning for a little while. 26 00:01:23,720 --> 00:01:27,640 It's just leaning forward to finding out more about your 27 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,520 Disney history and and all about you. 28 00:01:31,040 --> 00:01:32,640 Yeah, good. So it's good, Yeah. 29 00:01:32,800 --> 00:01:34,160 Life's just getting the way, hasn't it? 30 00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,200 We've been to record this for a while and life I. 31 00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:39,480 Know, yeah, he was like back in January, we were organising it 32 00:01:39,480 --> 00:01:42,160 and everyone's on a holiday and then life just gets in the way 33 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:45,320 and before, you know, it's Easter and just yeah, time 34 00:01:45,320 --> 00:01:47,200 flies. Everything gets away but three 35 00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:48,720 months to your next trip? That's awesome. 36 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,360 Yep, it's it's been in the planning for a little while. 37 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,200 We it's a Disney Cruise. Nice. 38 00:01:55,640 --> 00:01:57,880 Disney World this. Year yeah, we we took the chance 39 00:01:57,880 --> 00:02:01,840 on our last Disney Cruise to put down a placeholder so we get 10% 40 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:03,880 discount. So I was like that it was like 41 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:06,680 it was refundable. So if we didn't decide to book 42 00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,360 it, the treasure. Nice, nice. 43 00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:14,120 I've done The Wonder three times, but that's been, that was 44 00:02:14,120 --> 00:02:18,280 when I was a cast member. So yeah, I've done them three 45 00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:20,120 times. But I'm trying to talk Ashley 46 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,680 into a cruise, but she's not. She's not a fan of boats so. 47 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,520 I would say we were pretty much similar to that before our first 48 00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:29,840 cruise. Well, I was always worried about 49 00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,880 the seasickness, but I've got a friend that doesn't do boats and 50 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:36,360 open water and all of that thing. 51 00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:38,400 So like you, she'd have to do a cruise. 52 00:02:38,880 --> 00:02:41,760 But actually getting ownership? I thought I don't even know what 53 00:02:41,760 --> 00:02:44,120 it is. I just, I get cabin fever or 54 00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,880 quite literally cabin fever. I can't stay in the one place or 55 00:02:48,040 --> 00:02:50,960 one small area for any length of time before I start getting 56 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:54,000 agitated. So to be confined, I know you're 57 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,440 not confined to a cabin. But and and then I know you may. 58 00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:57,320 Yeah. It's. 59 00:02:58,320 --> 00:02:59,800 Yeah. You don't have that freedom to 60 00:02:59,800 --> 00:03:02,360 like there's nowhere to go. Yeah. 61 00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:05,360 And I totally understand it. And I. 62 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:09,480 Yeah, there is. And there was something really 63 00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:12,000 nice about going to sleep in one place and waking up somewhere 64 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,480 completely different. Yeah, better place to wake up 65 00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:16,560 than Castaway. But I would love for them to do 66 00:03:16,560 --> 00:03:19,320 like an open house type thing after the ship was maybe not 67 00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,840 sailing for a while to let people go and have a look at it 68 00:03:21,840 --> 00:03:24,280 before they actually booked it. Because I think that would 69 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:26,560 probably sway me. And if you can watch as many, 70 00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:28,280 you know what it's like when you watch YouTube videos. 71 00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:32,760 You can watch as many as you like, but it doesn't show off to 72 00:03:32,760 --> 00:03:37,000 spill potential. Yeah, the size of them. 73 00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,760 It's a bit like honey bodies and water blogs and like that walk 74 00:03:39,760 --> 00:03:42,080 down Main Street is so different to when you're walking down the 75 00:03:42,080 --> 00:03:45,840 versus what you've seen. And I have to admit, when we did 76 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,800 books, we had a cruise book during COVID, which then got 77 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:52,280 cancelled. And then they did the, the Magic 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:55,720 at Sea in the UK ones. So we would, that was our first 79 00:03:55,880 --> 00:03:57,440 Disney cruise. So we booked one of those, which 80 00:03:57,440 --> 00:03:59,760 was for three nights out of Essex. 81 00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:04,440 So it, it was interesting. I wasn't so sure at first, but 82 00:04:04,440 --> 00:04:07,400 by getting off it, I felt like I was at Walt Disney World, but 83 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,960 just on a ship. It had the smells, it had the 84 00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,080 food, it had Mickey Ruffles. It was. 85 00:04:12,680 --> 00:04:16,480 We very nearly went on the end at the end of that for that I 86 00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:20,200 before we very nearly went to guest services to see if they 87 00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:24,000 had any more any of the following one that followed on 88 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,240 straight afterwards. We didn't. 89 00:04:26,240 --> 00:04:27,960 We paid ourselves. We thought about it. 90 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:30,400 If I had an extra day off work, I think we would have. 91 00:04:30,520 --> 00:04:31,560 We would have done it. But no. 92 00:04:31,720 --> 00:04:33,720 I didn't make it ads. We are, isn't it? 93 00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:35,960 That's a good advert for sale and. 94 00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,320 I could have made it back to work in time. 95 00:04:39,160 --> 00:04:40,760 I just don't think we could have afforded after how much we 96 00:04:40,760 --> 00:04:42,800 probably spent on those three nights of fine Disney 97 00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:44,920 merchandise on the cruise. Yeah, yeah. 98 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,000 The. The shops are about special in 99 00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,160 the shop as well. But also I think what you would 100 00:04:49,160 --> 00:04:52,200 spend on a cruise, say a three or a four night cruise, you 101 00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,240 could get almost two weeks in Disney World for that price. 102 00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:57,680 And I would rather have a two week holiday than a three. 103 00:04:58,000 --> 00:04:59,920 And I know it's different and I know you get to go to the 104 00:04:59,920 --> 00:05:02,040 island, but I would rather have two weeks out of it than three 105 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,800 nights. Yeah, again, that true that that 106 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:07,080 it's true. I think we'll talk a quiz a 107 00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:10,000 little bit later because I have a feeling that would be a good 108 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,080 topic to. But huge thank you for joining 109 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,040 us today and we can't wait to find out more about you. 110 00:05:16,200 --> 00:05:19,560 But as with every guest episode over the past six years, we have 111 00:05:19,560 --> 00:05:23,520 our carousel of questions. So it's 15 quick fire ish 112 00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:26,080 questions to see what your likes dislikes are. 113 00:05:26,440 --> 00:05:29,440 And as you're a couple, you can have separate answers, but go 114 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:31,720 with your heart and you'll probably wake up tomorrow with a 115 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:33,920 very different answer. So Are you ready? 116 00:05:34,360 --> 00:05:35,560 Yeah, yeah. Ready for them? 117 00:05:36,080 --> 00:05:38,280 OK, so we'll start. What's your favorite park? 118 00:05:38,760 --> 00:05:40,120 Yeah, cool. Halloween Studios. 119 00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:42,400 I love that. Don't get hold of Wood Studios 120 00:05:42,400 --> 00:05:44,160 is the not very often and that's yours. 121 00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,600 It is my favorite. Is our kids favorite as well. 122 00:05:46,600 --> 00:05:49,240 They love Halloween studios. I I worked in IT court as a cast 123 00:05:49,240 --> 00:05:51,040 member, so it always has my heart, yeah. 124 00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:55,040 Yeah, that makes sense. OK, a ride that you hate. 125 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,440 Gardens. Small world because we get stuck 126 00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:02,360 on it one time for about 25 minutes it. 127 00:06:02,480 --> 00:06:05,800 Was older than that, it was 20. 40 and the music kept going, but 128 00:06:05,800 --> 00:06:08,000 the dolls stopped moving. Yeah, yeah. 129 00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:10,520 Been there. We've we've had experience of 130 00:06:10,520 --> 00:06:12,520 that. We were in diesel and Paris and 131 00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:14,440 and that happened to us. It was. 132 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:17,040 They stopped the music as well after a while so all you had was 133 00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,200 the cookie noises of the dolls moving. 134 00:06:19,840 --> 00:06:21,200 Oh yeah. Oh, I think it was. 135 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:22,880 Worse. Yeah. 136 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:25,760 And then then you had like every few minutes as like the safety 137 00:06:25,760 --> 00:06:28,000 announcement, but. That's 12 different languages, 138 00:06:28,280 --> 00:06:30,880 yes. And just for. 139 00:06:31,880 --> 00:06:35,040 Me, it was Guardians and I just think it's so overrated. 140 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,800 Oh, that's interesting. You're going to get hate for. 141 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,920 A lot. I've never known anyone to 142 00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:43,880 really dislike it unless it makes you like I'll. 143 00:06:44,200 --> 00:06:47,000 I just. I hate the hype about it. 144 00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,600 It's it's a good ride, but it's just not as good as I was. 145 00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,520 Going to say that I think that's what you hear about it because 146 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,400 everybody else loves it. You're like, no, don't like it. 147 00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:54,520 No, I'm not. That's not. 148 00:06:56,120 --> 00:06:58,640 I'd like to be contrary. Yeah, just totally opposite and 149 00:06:58,640 --> 00:07:02,800 I I get that some there are some things that are just especially 150 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:05,760 the get hyped for social media and so much things that lead up 151 00:07:05,760 --> 00:07:08,960 to excitement for a new attraction. 152 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,840 And I can I can see that. I feel like that should be 153 00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,600 another topic of what's over hyped or unliked at Disney. 154 00:07:15,840 --> 00:07:17,760 I am making a note. Yeah. 155 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:19,600 Well, is John one of his posters when you need him? 156 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,920 That's true. What is your most overrated 157 00:07:23,920 --> 00:07:25,920 snack? Spring rolls, the spring rolls, 158 00:07:25,920 --> 00:07:28,640 the cheeseburger spring rolls. Do not like them at all. 159 00:07:29,360 --> 00:07:32,080 And they're expensive, yeah. Yeah, they used to be a snack 160 00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:33,240 credit. No, they're not. 161 00:07:33,840 --> 00:07:35,120 Changed and you used to get was it? 162 00:07:35,120 --> 00:07:38,520 You used to get 3 from the same dress or and now it's going to 163 00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,200 be two. Yeah, we, we actually got them 164 00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:44,880 the last trip, not for us, but for our friends to try them. 165 00:07:44,880 --> 00:07:47,000 And they loved them. And I was like, we've been 166 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:49,520 dusting these things for months before we went like, you're not 167 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:50,840 going to like them, you're not going to like them yet. 168 00:07:50,840 --> 00:07:52,760 And they're like, they're really, they're really good. 169 00:07:52,760 --> 00:07:55,200 And I was like no the. Reuben version's not too bad. 170 00:07:55,200 --> 00:07:56,800 The Reuben sandwich ones aren't too bad. 171 00:07:57,200 --> 00:07:58,960 They're just not. They're not green. 172 00:07:58,960 --> 00:08:01,640 Cheeseburger steak rolls are the most overrated. 173 00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:05,160 Chinese are the pepperoni ones. Yeah, yeah, I want to try those, 174 00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,560 but I know they're also a Hollywood studio. 175 00:08:07,200 --> 00:08:10,880 If they're anything like the cheeseburger pods as Tuli 176 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,880 Canteen, I'm not going to like them because I didn't like. 177 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,440 Those Oh see, I like them. I don't think they'll like that. 178 00:08:15,440 --> 00:08:16,760 No, I'm not. I'm not like that at all. 179 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:19,840 It was the pickle included I didn't like. 180 00:08:20,680 --> 00:08:23,800 I think this is but small enough that I don't think you could. 181 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,800 Yeah, the Pickles, definitely. And the spring rolls. 182 00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:27,800 But very, very. Very, very, very, very. 183 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:33,320 But no, I just think, yet again, it's very overheight, very 184 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,000 publicized over social media that these are the best things 185 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:37,799 ever. And actually, there's better 186 00:08:37,799 --> 00:08:39,520 snacks, so much better snacks out there. 187 00:08:40,159 --> 00:08:42,320 It really shows that everyone has their own opinion and so 188 00:08:42,320 --> 00:08:45,600 different things you don't. It's so easy, especially with 189 00:08:45,600 --> 00:08:47,880 someone who's going on their first trip of like what's the 190 00:08:47,880 --> 00:08:49,360 must do? What should I go for? 191 00:08:49,800 --> 00:08:51,960 And actually, by going for something that everyone else is 192 00:08:51,960 --> 00:08:54,000 going for, you might miss something else. 193 00:08:54,280 --> 00:08:57,320 And there are so many snacks and so many different things that 194 00:08:57,720 --> 00:09:01,240 Disney have on the menu. I think I hate for anyone. 195 00:09:01,520 --> 00:09:04,480 If it's your first trip, try it because you might like it, but 196 00:09:04,480 --> 00:09:06,400 be prepared to find something else. 197 00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,520 Yeah, I think we've also found that the more Instagram worthy 198 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,120 it is, the worse it tastes. So the nicer it looks, the worse 199 00:09:13,160 --> 00:09:15,120 it is. Apart from the Madame Madame 200 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:20,240 Liotta push pop, that thing was beautiful looking and taste that 201 00:09:20,240 --> 00:09:22,280 was stunning. I know. 202 00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:24,720 I know which one you mean. Yeah, we didn't. 203 00:09:24,920 --> 00:09:26,040 Didn't. We don't. 204 00:09:26,240 --> 00:09:27,960 When we go to the parties, we don't tend to buy. 205 00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:31,720 No, we press snacks. No, we pretend to just end up 206 00:09:31,720 --> 00:09:35,560 getting all the candy and you've got the was it the Stitch 207 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:38,000 popcorn bucket last year? And just filling that up with 208 00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:40,480 candy as we're going around. I think I get the push pop 209 00:09:40,480 --> 00:09:44,560 because I was waiting for the mini Sanderson sipper Sleepy 210 00:09:44,560 --> 00:09:48,240 Hollow so I just got the the the Madame Leota. 211 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:51,840 That's a snack credit, yeah. And it was absolutely 212 00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:53,600 incredible. It's quite interesting to see 213 00:09:53,600 --> 00:09:56,360 what's at the party and what's also a snack credit and what 214 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,240 isn't because I always used to think like it's at the party, 215 00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:00,520 they're going to charge more for it. 216 00:10:00,520 --> 00:10:03,080 It probably won't be a snack credit, but it's surprising when 217 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:05,120 you're actually looking at the menu and looking at the lists, 218 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,320 the stuff appears on the sort of as a snack. 219 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:11,400 Credit. OK, So what is your favorite 220 00:10:11,400 --> 00:10:13,360 transportation like in Walt Disney World? 221 00:10:13,520 --> 00:10:15,320 Sky Liner. Sky Liner. 222 00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:21,200 I love that it's my I agree with you and I know you're not a fan. 223 00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,200 I'm not a fan, but I'll go on it if I have to. 224 00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,240 I don't know, Kite. So I'm allowed to not like it, 225 00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:27,200 yeah. We literally book a resort 226 00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,040 around sky liner. That's why we enjoy Pocketed 227 00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,560 Tree so much. Although when we were there in 228 00:10:31,560 --> 00:10:33,520 November, it was just, it was due an upgrade. 229 00:10:33,520 --> 00:10:35,280 It was due kind of like refurbishment, wasn't it in 230 00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,960 January. In January and you could tell 231 00:10:36,960 --> 00:10:40,000 because it was stopping and starting quite often and you 232 00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,880 know your normal journey from Pops entry to Caribbean beach is 233 00:10:43,880 --> 00:10:46,320 normally about 6 minutes. You know it was taking that 1012 234 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,800 minutes because it was. There was one day we were going 235 00:10:48,800 --> 00:10:50,840 to meet our friends. They stayed at the Riviera. 236 00:10:50,840 --> 00:10:54,200 They're DVC, so they've they obviously get the DVC resort, so 237 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:56,200 they were staying there. We were staying at Pop and it 238 00:10:56,200 --> 00:10:59,920 took us an hour to get from Pop to the Riviera, which only takes 239 00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:02,440 13 minutes normally. Yeah, yeah. 240 00:11:02,440 --> 00:11:05,360 Now we've, we've not, not, not like to do lines like that. 241 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,440 That's that. Was crazy and it wasn't like it 242 00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:10,880 wasn't queues to go on to the sky liner that was literally on 243 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:14,280 the actual gondolas wasn't. Just clutching so but I think I 244 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,560 think since the refurbishment or the the the work it's been it's 245 00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:20,120 been growing really well. So it was obviously just, didn't 246 00:11:20,120 --> 00:11:22,000 it they? Also they missed last year's 247 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,400 refurb, they didn't do maintenance last year on it. 248 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:26,600 So because we we kind of researched that making batch 249 00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:28,160 thinking. Because it was the last week of 250 00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:30,640 January, I think since has opened, yeah. 251 00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:32,720 Yeah. So 2025 they didn't do it at 252 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:36,560 all, which obviously might be they're going to probably need 253 00:11:36,560 --> 00:11:40,080 to do it every year now rather than but I would still say the 254 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,760 skyline even though there was issues that time 100%. 255 00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:46,040 You got to love the the original buses though, just for the 256 00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:48,840 nostalgia, you know? It's, it's the voice, it's the 257 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,360 sound of going like you're on your way to Magic Kingdom. 258 00:11:52,000 --> 00:11:55,360 And yeah, I, I love that I just every time I hear a scorpy 259 00:11:55,360 --> 00:11:58,960 TikTok or Instagram and I just hear that sort of sound like a 260 00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,880 cat. Can't wait to. 261 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:02,320 Yeah, that's it. And watching it just so you can 262 00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:05,040 listen to it. Yeah, but also the our kids. 263 00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:09,360 So our first stay on was on a Disney resort as a family was 264 00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,280 our animation wasn't it? And they remember the songs that 265 00:12:12,280 --> 00:12:13,720 were played on that animation bus. 266 00:12:13,720 --> 00:12:16,320 And they still play them in the car to this day because it just 267 00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:19,520 reminds them it's obviously memories for them of their first 268 00:12:19,760 --> 00:12:22,160 their first time. And what annoys me about the 269 00:12:22,160 --> 00:12:25,520 buses though is see if you see like a Star Wars bus at Magic 270 00:12:25,520 --> 00:12:27,120 Kingdom. You're. 271 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,760 You're just you're just really annoys me. 272 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:33,040 Hollywood Studios. Somewhere else. 273 00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,600 It's not Animal Kingdom that just that that plays with my 274 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:36,960 mind. I just like how how's that? 275 00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:38,840 Plus here that should be at Animal Kingdom, that shouldn't 276 00:12:38,840 --> 00:12:41,560 be at another park. See, that's why I was like like 277 00:12:41,560 --> 00:12:44,280 the sky liner because a lot of them are wrapped. 278 00:12:44,680 --> 00:12:46,520 You like character? Hunting in the skyline. 279 00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:48,600 Seeing what ones, because I know it's a good distraction for you 280 00:12:48,600 --> 00:12:50,600 to avoid from that height. It's like, OK, which ones you 281 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:50,880 see? Yeah. 282 00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:53,200 Because you can see as well out of the wrapped ones either, 283 00:12:53,200 --> 00:12:55,040 can't you know? So if you have you are scared of 284 00:12:55,040 --> 00:12:57,720 heights, you can actually see listen, can I wait to get one 285 00:12:57,720 --> 00:12:59,920 with a picture on it? Because I don't really 286 00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:01,480 particularly want to see outside. 287 00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:02,800 So I've. Seen people do that. 288 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:05,360 Yeah, we have. And I was really surprised as 289 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,920 well, too. We've been there love over there 290 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,680 last summer. And I was surprised how cool it 291 00:13:10,680 --> 00:13:14,200 was in sky liner. When you think like, OK, this is 292 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,640 going to be when they announced a few years ago, I was like, I 293 00:13:16,640 --> 00:13:18,720 don't want to get stuck in it like middle of August 8. 294 00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:20,760 It's it's not going to be air conditioning. 295 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:22,840 It's it's, it's going to be very hot. 296 00:13:22,840 --> 00:13:25,760 But I have to admit the way they move and the way the air flow 297 00:13:25,760 --> 00:13:28,240 goes. Yep, completely agree with that 298 00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:29,360 then. We do though if the windows 299 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:30,720 aren't open and then we open the windows. 300 00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:36,080 So what is your favorite table service restaurant? 301 00:13:36,440 --> 00:13:40,480 Lacelle. Siara before we ate at Lacelle. 302 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:43,000 Lacelle is my answer. Yeah, but then there's also 303 00:13:43,000 --> 00:13:46,400 another one, Topolinos. Topolino Terrace for me is, is 304 00:13:46,720 --> 00:13:49,720 the best one. But we, we were fortunate 305 00:13:49,720 --> 00:13:52,720 enough, our friends, when we went in November last year, they 306 00:13:52,720 --> 00:13:58,520 treated us to dinner at Lacelle and it's just out of this world. 307 00:13:58,680 --> 00:14:01,200 It's it's insane. So I think we'd stake for about 308 00:14:01,200 --> 00:14:03,440 two months after we get home because we just couldn't match 309 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,320 it. We just couldn't. 310 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:06,520 I. I. 311 00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:08,960 Yeah, I can. I can turn my hand to making a 312 00:14:08,960 --> 00:14:12,120 good steak from time to time. But Lacelle crushed my 313 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:13,720 confidence, let's put it that way. 314 00:14:13,720 --> 00:14:14,960 Yeah. It was. 315 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,080 It was outstanding. It was incredible, but on on the 316 00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,000 I wouldn't even say on the the cheaper pricing because toppling 317 00:14:21,120 --> 00:14:23,920 doesn't exactly cheap by any means, but the character 318 00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,360 breakfast 100% yeah, toppling us. 319 00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:28,920 Yeah, we've never had a bad meal there. 320 00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:30,800 Never. Done Lacelli. 321 00:14:30,840 --> 00:14:32,520 Ever. No, Lacelli has been on the 322 00:14:32,520 --> 00:14:34,320 list, but we've just not made it yet. 323 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,520 I'd highly, highly recommend it. It was one of those that if we 324 00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:40,280 done on a trip, we would do it on a trip. 325 00:14:40,280 --> 00:14:43,280 We went, we went fast. We weren't like Lacelli has to 326 00:14:43,280 --> 00:14:45,360 be this trip or that trip or this trip. 327 00:14:45,680 --> 00:14:48,760 If it happened, it happened and it's what happened last year and 328 00:14:48,760 --> 00:14:52,920 it was just, it was outstanding. But I would also say from now on 329 00:14:52,920 --> 00:14:54,840 we would probably use that as like a special. 330 00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:56,280 Yeah, yeah, it'll be a special it. 331 00:14:57,200 --> 00:14:59,440 Would be like a 10 year wedding anniversary meal or it would be 332 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:01,320 like. We're going to be going, but 333 00:15:01,320 --> 00:15:03,120 then we go next year. It's going to be celebrating 334 00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:05,720 partly your 4040, so we'll be doing. 335 00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:13,000 I mentioned the lady's age. Yeah, no, it's definitely a 336 00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:15,360 restaurant to go to if you're celebrating something special 337 00:15:15,560 --> 00:15:17,040 because it is that little bit pricier. 338 00:15:17,240 --> 00:15:20,120 But then I mean, there are there are cheaper options on the menu, 339 00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:23,000 but you just, yeah, you wouldn't go there. 340 00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,440 I wouldn't go there on my burger. 341 00:15:25,240 --> 00:15:28,440 I had one of the the cheapest cuts of meat that they do and it 342 00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:30,840 was still probably the best that I've ever had in my life. 343 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:32,400 You could cut it with a butter knife. 344 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,320 Oh, was it a standard? This is making me hungry. 345 00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:42,160 We sell dream of that meal. Yeah, I think we've all had that 346 00:15:42,160 --> 00:15:44,160 one meal. But there is some restaurants 347 00:15:44,160 --> 00:15:46,120 that you do keep aside for special occasions. 348 00:15:46,440 --> 00:15:48,240 Cape May have a. Special mention for Cape May. 349 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:51,040 Cape May Breakfast. Yeah, cafe has to get a special 350 00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:52,160 menu, so. Just pack one. 351 00:15:52,440 --> 00:15:56,520 So it does. We've changed from favour to top 352 00:15:56,520 --> 00:16:01,360 three I think, so that's fine. OK, what resort? 353 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,200 You haven't stayed up, but want to more than anything else on 354 00:16:04,200 --> 00:16:05,680 Earth. Poland. 355 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,960 Easy. Polly. 356 00:16:07,400 --> 00:16:09,080 Yeah, I love. I love the look of the Polly. 357 00:16:09,080 --> 00:16:12,920 Like again, to mention eating again, Hannah, I love a Hannah. 358 00:16:13,080 --> 00:16:16,080 So yeah, this. Is quickly turn into food. 359 00:16:16,200 --> 00:16:19,000 Yeah, So Polynesian has always been one avid my own. 360 00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:20,720 That's that's where I would love to stay. 361 00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:22,880 Beach club we. Went and looked to the beach 362 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,680 club last year and very very very nice resort. 363 00:16:26,760 --> 00:16:29,160 Each club's my one as well. My bucket list. 364 00:16:29,160 --> 00:16:31,320 My bucket list. It's absolutely stunning. 365 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,440 Next year we're close. Yeah. 366 00:16:33,440 --> 00:16:36,120 But Boardwalk next year, Boardwalk getting that little 367 00:16:36,120 --> 00:16:37,280 bit closer. Yeah. 368 00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,960 Boardwalk's lovely. We've done a couple of days. 369 00:16:42,120 --> 00:16:44,240 Actually the views better because you can see beach club. 370 00:16:44,760 --> 00:16:46,800 Yeah, yeah. That's actually a really good 371 00:16:46,800 --> 00:16:47,920 point you. Can't see. 372 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,440 It, that's a really good point, yeah. 373 00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,440 Yeah. I'm tagging all the photos that 374 00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:54,520 I take from the balcony. Right. 375 00:16:55,160 --> 00:16:57,120 Odd one. What is your favorite car park? 376 00:16:57,840 --> 00:16:58,880 Oh. Go. 377 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,520 I like the animal Kingdom one just because sometimes we get 378 00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:05,319 parked in Unicorn and I was like Scotland's national animal so 379 00:17:05,319 --> 00:17:11,000 might be my answer for that. I'm going to say Magic Kingdom, 380 00:17:11,480 --> 00:17:14,560 and the only reason I'm saying that is we've not driven. 381 00:17:15,000 --> 00:17:16,920 Yeah, we've not done a. Car in a long time. 382 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,800 Like a long, long time. One of my first memories of our 383 00:17:20,800 --> 00:17:23,880 eldest is driving into car park at Magic Kingdom. 384 00:17:23,920 --> 00:17:26,040 And she was, I've got it. I've got it in video. 385 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,240 And she was pouting like a Princess. 386 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,760 And I just remember driving around to Magic Kingdom car park 387 00:17:30,920 --> 00:17:33,480 with like in the background. And that's the only reason I'm 388 00:17:33,480 --> 00:17:35,600 saying that, because I don't really have a. 389 00:17:36,120 --> 00:17:39,240 No an animal game for me because sometimes it parked in Unicorn 390 00:17:39,240 --> 00:17:42,880 which is called the national anthem Animal anthem. 391 00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:45,120 Got to sink. No, I just. 392 00:17:45,120 --> 00:17:46,800 Think. I don't think we've ever had 393 00:17:46,920 --> 00:17:48,280 either of those answers, actually. 394 00:17:48,280 --> 00:17:50,920 No, I don't think we have. And I love the reasoning behind 395 00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:51,760 both as well. Yeah. 396 00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:55,360 But also like following the the castle, see if we like, we very 397 00:17:55,360 --> 00:17:58,560 rarely took the the little tram thing because we just set the 398 00:17:58,560 --> 00:18:00,080 tram up at the car and that was it. 399 00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:01,520 We just went rather. Than. 400 00:18:02,400 --> 00:18:04,560 Just kept going. So you you just follow the 401 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,800 little castles. And, and The thing is, by the 402 00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:08,760 time you get there in the morning as well, and it's like 403 00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:11,080 you see the cram, it's like I'm going to do some walking today. 404 00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:14,960 You end up just going, then I'm just like the ferry. 405 00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:19,000 But we're always ridiculously early that we've been the first 406 00:18:19,040 --> 00:18:21,680 few rules anyway, but we're never like way, way, way at the 407 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:23,920 back that. First, first time we had to 408 00:18:24,320 --> 00:18:25,520 stress time. We hired a car. 409 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:28,520 I remember if we turned up a Hollywood studios really early 410 00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,920 that they turned us around because it wasn't open yet. 411 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:33,360 I was like, I must be a business. 412 00:18:33,360 --> 00:18:35,960 I just, I don't think I thought like how quiet it would be that 413 00:18:35,960 --> 00:18:38,680 time in the morning. We would go look for a car and 414 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:41,560 then walk round to Beach Club for breakfast, so we had a 415 00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:45,840 reservation at Ellen Compass OR. So yeah, we thought that, but 416 00:18:45,840 --> 00:18:47,760 because it wasn't open, we'd go, we'd just go and park on a 417 00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:50,360 resort and then. Around instead, yeah. 418 00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:53,960 Definitely, definitely do you. Do have any change of plans 419 00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,720 accordingly? Yeah, so I didn't have to pay 420 00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:59,600 for parking in the morning. Yeah, always a bonus. 421 00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:01,680 Definitely. Yeah, that's true, because it 422 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:03,440 doesn't always happen. It isn't he no. 423 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,520 So yeah, say okay, Typhoon, Blizzard or Volcano Bay. 424 00:19:10,080 --> 00:19:14,560 Typhoon all day long. Volcano Bay we will probably not 425 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:16,280 go back to. We didn't enjoy Volcano Bay at 426 00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,000 all. We've been once and it wasn't 427 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,680 the best experience. And do you ever get that, that 428 00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,360 you go somewhere and they it's just not great and it just puts 429 00:19:24,360 --> 00:19:26,440 you right off because you know you're going to get something 430 00:19:26,440 --> 00:19:28,520 better somewhere else? Yep. 431 00:19:29,200 --> 00:19:32,760 Typhoon Lagoon is just. Again, for the memories of the 432 00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,680 kids, like you get videos of them getting washed away. 433 00:19:35,760 --> 00:19:39,160 I washed away. Quite literally washed away. 434 00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:43,680 Yeah, that that title pool, that's that wave as it's coming 435 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,520 for us. It's just. 436 00:19:44,920 --> 00:19:47,280 And I think we, because we had a cabana the last time, it's 437 00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,960 Typhoon Lagoon as well like that. 438 00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:51,040 That was the best experience ever. 439 00:19:51,240 --> 00:19:53,920 Yeah, that was, that was kind of a fuss for us. 440 00:19:53,920 --> 00:19:56,680 We thought we'd just give it a try and it was worked out pretty 441 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:57,880 well. So yeah, yeah, yeah it. 442 00:19:58,360 --> 00:20:00,160 Was so good. Yeah, Typhoon Lagoon. 443 00:20:00,920 --> 00:20:03,920 Yeah, we've, we've never been the biggest fan of water parks. 444 00:20:03,920 --> 00:20:06,360 I haven't been to many recently, so we've not been to Volcano 445 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:10,080 Bay, but Blissa Beach was always one of our favourites because we 446 00:20:10,080 --> 00:20:13,120 had a memory of where we were there on an anniversary. 447 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:15,280 And you've noticed we have one of the badges on. 448 00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:18,040 And it's like you walk in, it's like you're back to pay for your 449 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,800 locker for the day. It's like it's on Mickey, you 450 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:22,360 don't have to pay it. And it was just one of those. 451 00:20:22,360 --> 00:20:25,560 It just sticks in your mind and it's like, yeah. 452 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:29,560 Just shows you how a cast member can make your experience just 453 00:20:30,320 --> 00:20:32,320 that would be a bit better and that is then going to be your 454 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:34,440 favorite going forward, isn't that? 455 00:20:34,720 --> 00:20:37,520 Definitely cast members, definitely make the magic. 456 00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:40,080 They do indeed. All right, this is a difficult 457 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:43,320 one in our house. Galaxy's Edge or Diagon Alley? 458 00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:47,000 Galaxy's Edge. Not in yours then. 459 00:20:47,600 --> 00:20:52,200 No, no, no, we are our youngest daughter is starting to kind of 460 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:55,760 get like in Harry Potter, but it's never been a a family thing 461 00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:56,120 for us. We've. 462 00:20:56,160 --> 00:21:00,120 Not done Universal since 2018 because both our kids are 463 00:21:00,120 --> 00:21:04,120 ridiculous adrenaline junkies and we can't take them to 464 00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:07,240 Universal because one of them's like the tiniest little bit too 465 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:08,800 short to go on some of the rides. 466 00:21:09,160 --> 00:21:11,440 And I don't want to be like, oh, look at that ride, You could go 467 00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,120 on it, but sorry, you can't, you're too small. 468 00:21:13,800 --> 00:21:17,760 So we've just, we've just totally taken it out because you 469 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,800 know what it's like trying to fit both into a two week 470 00:21:19,800 --> 00:21:21,080 itinerary. It doesn't work. 471 00:21:21,600 --> 00:21:24,280 It's really difficult to do. You end up sacrificing one over 472 00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:26,280 the other. And it's when, if I've got to 473 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:29,600 fit in a few days at Universal, what am I going to sacrifice at 474 00:21:29,600 --> 00:21:30,960 Disney? Where do I take this away? 475 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,760 And it's like you don't want to. So we've always said that when 476 00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,200 they're old enough, we're going to just, yeah, we're going to go 477 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:38,560 for, we're going for three weeks next time. 478 00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:41,480 But what we'll maybe do is we'll stay overnight at one of the 479 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:44,480 Universal hotels and get the express passes and just do it 480 00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,280 that way. And then you get as much done as 481 00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,400 you can. Like Epic probably still 482 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:51,560 wouldn't appeal to the kids as much next year. 483 00:21:51,560 --> 00:21:54,520 I don't think it will to you because you're just the biggest 484 00:21:54,520 --> 00:21:59,560 child ever. But I think we need to let them 485 00:21:59,560 --> 00:22:01,520 next year go to Universal. Yeah, yeah. 486 00:22:01,520 --> 00:22:03,280 I think that should have been like the universal. 487 00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:06,360 And for us to do it, I think we just, we just do it that way. 488 00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:09,720 We just do the. 22 night stay at the hotel and just. 489 00:22:09,720 --> 00:22:12,400 And I think when when we do it, this is going to make me sound 490 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:14,480 really cheap and I'm not meaning it this way at all. 491 00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:16,560 But see, when you've paid for a dining plan or you've got the 492 00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,760 dining plan, you then don't want to go somewhere else and pay for 493 00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:20,960 pay for food somewhere else. Yeah. 494 00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:23,760 It's something that goes into that six spreadsheet when you're 495 00:22:23,760 --> 00:22:26,440 budgeting, when you're going to work out to make the dining plan 496 00:22:26,440 --> 00:22:28,360 worth it. OK, I'm off site. 497 00:22:28,520 --> 00:22:31,880 So it's like I'm actually, it's not value for me because I'm 498 00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:33,680 because you've paid for the dining plan. 499 00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:38,040 It it, it is a difficult sort of juggling app to try and fit in. 500 00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:41,200 We're with the dab last year and they had the quick service 501 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:44,240 dining plan at Coronado Springs. So when we were doing like days 502 00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:47,440 at Epic and then we're the universal, so it's like we're 503 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,040 going off site for food here. It's like they'll end up with 504 00:22:50,040 --> 00:22:53,040 more credits that are leftover on the end of the trip. 505 00:22:53,040 --> 00:22:54,840 I. Mean we we had a couple left 506 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,040 last time we just picked us people in the the food court 507 00:22:58,040 --> 00:23:00,240 just asking them, are you in the dining pan I. 508 00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,880 Had a lady cry because I said, Sir, can I pay your your meal 509 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,800 for you? And she was like, what's the 510 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:07,680 corn? What's the corn? 511 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:09,120 I was like, I'm telling you, there's no corn. 512 00:23:09,120 --> 00:23:11,200 Just let me do it. Just let me do it, please. 513 00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:13,720 And then I did. And then there was something 514 00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,520 that I needed to photograph. What I'd done was I bought one 515 00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:17,840 of the prepackaged or I got used a credit for one of the 516 00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,640 prepackaged Nassimage type things. 517 00:23:20,200 --> 00:23:23,040 And after I bought it, took a couple of photos of it and I 518 00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,200 gave it to her and I said, go and put that in your fridge for, 519 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:26,720 for later. And then she cried again. 520 00:23:26,720 --> 00:23:27,840 I was like, I can't hope for this. 521 00:23:27,880 --> 00:23:29,920 That's all. People cry. 522 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,760 You know, it's just so lovely. Thank you so much. 523 00:23:33,760 --> 00:23:35,240 This is like a once in a lifetime trip. 524 00:23:35,240 --> 00:23:37,560 And I've saved for ages for it. And I'm just, I'm buying the 525 00:23:37,560 --> 00:23:39,040 cheapest meals and I'm doing this. 526 00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:42,640 And oh, it just broke my heart just because people. 527 00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,680 Yeah, people. Yeah. 528 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:47,320 I'm going off on a tangent. Now we're just we're not 529 00:23:47,320 --> 00:23:49,760 trusting anymore. I think it's one of those things 530 00:23:49,760 --> 00:23:52,320 I remember. So once we would give Erudisland 531 00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,520 Paris and we had the paper fast passes and it was for Hyperspace 532 00:23:56,520 --> 00:23:58,760 Mountain, we decided we just didn't want to go on it. 533 00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:01,880 And so we ran to the first people in the queue trying to 534 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,760 give it to them. And it's like they were turning 535 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,440 away. Like, no, you can go and you can 536 00:24:05,440 --> 00:24:07,840 say you can say you can go into that one. 537 00:24:08,000 --> 00:24:11,000 But it it was. It's such a sad state for 538 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,880 humanity to be in that you try and do something nice for 539 00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,240 someone and they're like, right, So what was the catch? 540 00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:19,080 What's what's happening? Yeah, I think just everyone's 541 00:24:19,080 --> 00:24:22,040 got banned from one thing or another and it's just they 542 00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:24,560 become a little bit more unjusting, yeah. 543 00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:26,640 Will become cynical. Yeah. 544 00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:29,880 It's not good. A little bit of Disney magic in 545 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:31,560 our lives. Yeah, definitely. 546 00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:37,000 Talking of magic, so are you an early morning or late night park 547 00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:39,160 visit? With the kids, we're 548 00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:42,160 predominantly early morning. We'll try and drop drop where we 549 00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:44,360 can. Yeah, I think the well that's, 550 00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:46,240 that's just kind of different because the first half of the 551 00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,320 holiday we're always early morning because the kids body 552 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,840 clocks are in UK time. AM. 4:00 AM Wake up. 553 00:24:51,840 --> 00:24:53,400 Yeah. And the second-half of the 554 00:24:53,400 --> 00:24:56,560 holiday we do tend to stay out and do the majority of the the 555 00:24:56,560 --> 00:24:59,320 kind of the later shows and the fireworks and things. 556 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,840 We don't try and push too much in the first week for that 557 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,680 because push the kids too far. They just meltdown central. 558 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:07,840 Not worth it. Absolutely worth it. 559 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:10,000 And that's another reason we actually stay at Skyliner Resort 560 00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:14,120 because as much as Orla's eight, we still take a pram for her and 561 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:16,680 she just crawls in it whenever she's tired, doesn't she? 562 00:25:17,800 --> 00:25:19,640 No, but this is, this is not a tangent. 563 00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:22,080 This is the reason why we take a pram so that we can stay at that 564 00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:26,280 little bit later and we can do things maybe you haven't managed 565 00:25:26,280 --> 00:25:29,320 to do through the day. And if she's asleep in the pram 566 00:25:29,320 --> 00:25:31,480 anyway, it doesn't matter because she's still sleeping. 567 00:25:31,480 --> 00:25:33,640 And then you just wheel her onto the sky liner. 568 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:35,240 You don't need to take it out, you don't need to wake it up. 569 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,000 It's great. That's the best thing. 570 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:40,760 That's Skyline versus the bus. Definitely sleeping children out 571 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,880 of them in the evening. Just get back on the bus and 572 00:25:43,880 --> 00:25:45,680 then. So many nights we just lifted 573 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,240 her straight out of the pram. Straight and our best. 574 00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:49,480 Is fine for you. You go with the two kids and sit 575 00:25:49,480 --> 00:25:51,440 down. It's me that's the donkey that's 576 00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,160 I don't understand the wee dad call with the the bus. 577 00:25:57,160 --> 00:25:59,360 Oh, so you call that, isn't it the dad call for the bus? 578 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:01,520 The bit beside the the doors in the middle. 579 00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:04,960 The doors in the middle when Yeah, the last thing is just 580 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,000 when you get back to the resort and they turn the lights back 581 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:07,800 on. Yeah. 582 00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:11,000 I was like, yeah, definitely to make sure you've woken up 583 00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,880 because I have this little snooze on the way back to the. 584 00:26:14,880 --> 00:26:17,520 It was. One of our was it the last trip 585 00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,000 we were getting on the bus going back, it was after the DVC man 586 00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:22,960 like magic where we're at and we were on the bus and Ella sat and 587 00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:25,000 do you know the state the two steps as you're going up to like 588 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,520 the kind of the second level. Ella sat in one of those steps 589 00:26:27,560 --> 00:26:29,840 and I think she was sound asleep By the time we get back to Pop's 590 00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:31,760 entry. She was sitting like that. 591 00:26:31,760 --> 00:26:34,480 Like our head was on our hands and she was our eyes were closed 592 00:26:34,480 --> 00:26:36,400 and I was like, she's sleeping. Yep, she's sleeping. 593 00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,520 Yeah, she was. She fell asleep not even on a 594 00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,720 tear or a stair. Literally honest there. 595 00:26:41,120 --> 00:26:43,600 It just sounds like me, yeah. I'm really for a full on a 596 00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:46,320 street standing up on those buses before so. 597 00:26:46,720 --> 00:26:49,480 There really is no tired like Disney Tired though, is there no 598 00:26:49,960 --> 00:26:52,160 tired? Like 20-30 thousand steps a day. 599 00:26:52,440 --> 00:26:54,800 The best kind of tire? Yeah, but you would do it all 600 00:26:54,800 --> 00:26:57,480 day every day if you could. Yeah, best kind of tired from 601 00:26:57,480 --> 00:26:58,720 the best kind of beds and pillows. 602 00:26:58,720 --> 00:27:01,840 Where do they get those pillows? I want my beats just because the 603 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:03,600 waist is so tired but when I kill it. 604 00:27:06,200 --> 00:27:09,760 That's true, You're just laughing at my tangents now. 605 00:27:13,840 --> 00:27:16,240 So would you rather keep the magic or get all the backstage 606 00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,680 detail? I'm going to say backstage 607 00:27:18,680 --> 00:27:20,760 detail and you're going to say keep the magic because you know 608 00:27:20,760 --> 00:27:22,000 all the backstage detail. I've. 609 00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:27,200 Experienced it as a cast member. So I've I've seen the magic the 610 00:27:27,200 --> 00:27:30,360 ruined if you will. So yeah, I want, I want to keep 611 00:27:30,360 --> 00:27:31,600 the magic as long as I can. Yeah. 612 00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:33,800 Do you know that I'm the kind of person that will sit on the way 613 00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,200 to Orlando on the British Airways flight and watch the 614 00:27:36,200 --> 00:27:40,240 behind the attractions? Yes, on repeat the whole way 615 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,480 because I just, I'm fascinated by it. 616 00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:45,760 The the worst thing I have ever done is The Walking tour of the 617 00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,880 Haunted Mansion elites on It's the worst thing I've ever done. 618 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,480 Yeah, I think that would probably completely ruin that 619 00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:53,120 ride. The worst thing I ever decided 620 00:27:53,120 --> 00:27:54,360 to do. How it was done, Yeah. 621 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,200 I can still never figure out where the camera isn't that 622 00:27:57,200 --> 00:27:58,800 right? Actually, I know you keep saying 623 00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,240 it's it's. Such and such a third portfolio 624 00:28:01,400 --> 00:28:04,360 up on the right. You told me the wrong one. 625 00:28:04,840 --> 00:28:09,040 No, I told you a different one. It's a cat lady if that's any 626 00:28:09,040 --> 00:28:11,520 help. Yeah, I I remember we did the 627 00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:14,800 keys looking not that long ago and it's always been on our list 628 00:28:14,800 --> 00:28:16,840 to do. And it it it's nice to be able 629 00:28:16,840 --> 00:28:20,360 to see behind the magic, but also trying to keep as much 630 00:28:20,360 --> 00:28:22,920 magic as possible. It's it's a difficult balance 631 00:28:23,120 --> 00:28:27,800 and going down to see the tiller doors is a very different level 632 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:30,000 of Main Street. And it's really interesting to 633 00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:33,640 see and just knowing all the history behind certain bits that 634 00:28:33,640 --> 00:28:35,560 happen. But then sometimes you do just 635 00:28:35,560 --> 00:28:38,240 want to go like, OK, I want to be that guest that's never been 636 00:28:38,240 --> 00:28:40,720 to Magic Kingdom before. And you walk down and just take 637 00:28:40,720 --> 00:28:44,000 it all in. Now I get lost in the utilidors. 638 00:28:44,440 --> 00:28:47,480 We we've got a friend who we met when we were out there one day 639 00:28:47,480 --> 00:28:51,320 where we're sitting in wine bar George and he used to be 640 00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:53,520 security. It doesn't he, but he worked 641 00:28:53,520 --> 00:28:57,760 like in the utilidors and down that that kind of area and he 642 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:01,440 said he has never I'm going to think of going to meet 643 00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:04,480 Cinderella ever again in our beautiful dress when she's 644 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,280 sitting eating a cheeseburger. In the canteen. 645 00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,760 In the canteen. Yeah, that's, that's the kind of 646 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:14,240 backstage magic that we thankfully don't get to. 647 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:15,680 No, that's. True. 648 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,600 And I've just, I've never forgotten that story that he 649 00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,640 said he told us that night. And I was like, do you know 650 00:29:19,640 --> 00:29:21,160 what? You don't actually think about 651 00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:22,760 these things. Like where do the princesses 652 00:29:22,760 --> 00:29:25,160 have their lunch? The the underground. 653 00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,560 Corridors. They have lunch. 654 00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,600 Clueless Cinderella is a cheeseburger, yeah. 655 00:29:31,120 --> 00:29:35,280 OK, what is your favorite other podcast or vlogger about Disney? 656 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,480 Podcast. I'm going to say Devonshire 657 00:29:37,480 --> 00:29:39,320 does. We just love Adam. 658 00:29:40,920 --> 00:29:42,960 Yeah, so. Although he phoned me today to 659 00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,680 get me to do his Halloween party tickets because he was having an 660 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,280 issue with it. So I did that for him. 661 00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:52,920 But with regards to vlogger, I would say there's, there's two 662 00:29:52,960 --> 00:29:56,560 that I watch on a regular basis. And because sometimes, you know, 663 00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:58,560 when you come back, you don't want to watch vlogs because it 664 00:29:58,560 --> 00:30:01,640 just, it depresses you so much. But when we've got the, the 665 00:30:01,640 --> 00:30:04,760 pages that we've got, we're constantly asked for advice and 666 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:06,680 things that we need to watch them. 667 00:30:06,680 --> 00:30:09,520 It's like punishment if you want to watch these things when you 668 00:30:09,520 --> 00:30:11,600 come back. Especially when you haven't got 669 00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,480 a countdown yet. And it's just one of those 670 00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:15,800 things when you think like how long is it going to be between 671 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,640 next trip? And then it's like, OK, I've 672 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:19,200 just got back. And but you want you want to 673 00:30:19,200 --> 00:30:20,880 stay. So you want to stay up, stay 674 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:23,640 with everything. Yeah, so we, I watch Molly from 675 00:30:23,640 --> 00:30:28,480 Mammoth Club a lot. She seems to be very informative 676 00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,720 of just just the way that she, she explains things. 677 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:34,160 It's very, I want to say an idiot's guide. 678 00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:36,080 And that's not what I mean by that, but it's very 679 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:37,680 straightforward. Anybody would be able to 680 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,880 understand what she. Was saying, especially if she's 681 00:30:39,880 --> 00:30:42,960 trying to explain Lightning Lane or what would she need plus or 682 00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:45,520 fast pass and just sort of something like that along to it 683 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:47,760 or if someone's going to do a festival for the first time, I 684 00:30:47,800 --> 00:30:51,240 like they're like like just saying what a best fest is. 685 00:30:51,720 --> 00:30:54,240 Is layman's terms, isn't it? She puts it into and it's just, 686 00:30:54,240 --> 00:30:57,880 it's so easy to understand. And Nate Page and Mr. Morrow, we 687 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:01,000 just love him. We just he's, he's fantastic. 688 00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:04,120 Yeah, I I strangely don't watch a lot of it. 689 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:07,440 You don't. I, I genuinely kind of don't 690 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:10,360 watch many of it, Nate, obviously Page and Mr. Morrow, 691 00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:13,720 but I also like super enthused. Yeah, I like Jackie. 692 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:14,960 Jackie. 'S lovely I. 693 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,960 Do so. And the kids, the kids love 694 00:31:18,200 --> 00:31:20,880 followers. We met Emma and Sage in the 695 00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:24,760 parks and they were like, it was as if like they'd met Taylor 696 00:31:24,760 --> 00:31:27,200 Swift. Honestly, they were starstruck, 697 00:31:27,320 --> 00:31:30,400 like starstruck. And then there was one day we 698 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:33,200 were an Epcot and Jackie walked past us, didn't she? 699 00:31:33,640 --> 00:31:36,640 But she was, she was like gone. I, I probably didn't go up and 700 00:31:36,760 --> 00:31:39,880 say anything to any of them because I'm a bit like, OK, I'll 701 00:31:39,880 --> 00:31:41,640 just stay back here and just let them kind of go on. 702 00:31:41,640 --> 00:31:42,520 You don't know what they're doing. 703 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:43,800 You don't know what they're filming. 704 00:31:43,800 --> 00:31:46,040 If they're filming anything, you just just leave them. 705 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:47,760 And you were like, that's, that's, that's Jackie. 706 00:31:47,760 --> 00:31:50,280 That's and I, I don't even know what made you. 707 00:31:50,680 --> 00:31:53,080 She's tiny, isn't she? She is really small. 708 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,200 I. Think I think it was just the 709 00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:59,840 new and green glasses. I know it's the ones, but yeah, 710 00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:01,720 I don't, I don't generally watch a lot of them. 711 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,240 No, you. Don't. 712 00:32:03,960 --> 00:32:06,680 I think leading up to a holiday we will you're you're 1 from not 713 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:09,080 wanting to watch like rides POV you want to. 714 00:32:09,520 --> 00:32:11,240 See if there's like new rides and stuff like that. 715 00:32:11,520 --> 00:32:13,720 Actually I'll watch the first video available of it to see 716 00:32:13,720 --> 00:32:16,760 what the rides like. I'm like I'm going to ride it 717 00:32:16,760 --> 00:32:18,840 first. I'm I'll I'll wait and see what 718 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,080 it's like in real. Life, yeah, that's what I. 719 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:22,800 Prefer to do. Definitely. 720 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:26,400 I've already watched the POV of Big Thunder Mountain when it 721 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,000 opened at the weekend. No, no, I haven't watched it. 722 00:32:29,720 --> 00:32:31,520 I know I will be watching. I've not watched. 723 00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:32,760 I'm surprised you haven't watched it yet. 724 00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:36,880 I I wanted to see it. I just spent there with me. 725 00:32:36,880 --> 00:32:39,440 What's the really annoying part of it is you then try and show 726 00:32:39,440 --> 00:32:42,240 me the video and I don't want to see the video. 727 00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:45,320 I do that too. Exactly can we watch That 728 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:48,000 started. But I'll tag you in if there's 729 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,160 like a small view of it and you're like stop doing that, 730 00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:52,680 not. Probably. 731 00:32:53,640 --> 00:32:56,280 It's, it's really interesting. There's so many differences and 732 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:58,920 for me it's just I've always had that anxiety. 733 00:32:58,920 --> 00:33:02,880 I never used to be into roller coasters or Thoroids, but since 734 00:33:02,880 --> 00:33:06,560 COVID, since going back since then, I've always been like OK, 735 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:08,280 I need to know everything about the attraction. 736 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:11,240 So good. The inside workings of how Tower 737 00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:13,600 of Terror works. Once I understood that I like 738 00:33:13,600 --> 00:33:16,400 OK, the next trip I went on it did it and that was one of my 739 00:33:16,400 --> 00:33:18,400 favorite attractions. What? 740 00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,480 Was it? I posted the other day it was 741 00:33:21,480 --> 00:33:24,480 APOV video that of one of our one of the rides that we did. 742 00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:26,520 I can't remember whatever one it was. 743 00:33:26,560 --> 00:33:29,120 Anyway, I put it onto Facebook. It's been on YouTube for ages 744 00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:30,880 and there was a comment to see it. 745 00:33:30,880 --> 00:33:33,560 I much prefer to see it in real life but this would really help 746 00:33:33,560 --> 00:33:36,240 my daughter because she suffers really bad emotion sickness. 747 00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,960 So this is actually really helpful for her to see this 748 00:33:38,960 --> 00:33:41,400 before we before we go. And I thought I'd never thought 749 00:33:41,520 --> 00:33:44,040 about it like that, No. And I think everyone has a 750 00:33:44,040 --> 00:33:46,400 different way because some people are planning their trip 751 00:33:46,400 --> 00:33:49,400 and want to know everything about it, but some people go 752 00:33:49,400 --> 00:33:50,920 like, I don't want to know anything about it because I want 753 00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:54,760 to explore it and find out then. So I'm not I'm not. 754 00:33:54,760 --> 00:33:57,320 There are some rights where I don't think Apov would ever do 755 00:33:57,320 --> 00:33:57,960 it justice. I. 756 00:33:57,960 --> 00:33:59,160 Don't think you could do apov of. 757 00:33:59,160 --> 00:34:02,040 Guardians, for example. Well, that's mostly in the. 758 00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,080 Dark it it's in the dark. Spinning, it's a bit like Space 759 00:34:05,080 --> 00:34:07,360 Mountain as well. Yeah, Tron, I don't think you 760 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:10,440 would get the feel. On a Tron on APOV no, so I 761 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:11,239 don't. Think the POV. 762 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,040 Is a feminalized the resistance doing that? 763 00:34:13,040 --> 00:34:14,080 Just no. No. 764 00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,840 No, definitely not. No, especially if you. 765 00:34:16,840 --> 00:34:19,199 Don't go, especially when you go through the whole queue and have 766 00:34:19,199 --> 00:34:21,320 the whole experience. It's great to see that even the 767 00:34:21,320 --> 00:34:22,760 queue when you. Walk into that room of the 768 00:34:22,760 --> 00:34:24,199 stormtroopers. That just takes you. 769 00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:26,000 No matter how many times you've done that, that takes your 770 00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,000 breath away every single time. You know it's happening, you 771 00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:30,320 know. You're going to walk there and 772 00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:33,840 and these storm tumors are everywhere, but you still just 773 00:34:34,199 --> 00:34:37,120 it's the scale of it and I still think they're going. 774 00:34:37,120 --> 00:34:39,600 To jump out on you every time you walk by them. 775 00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:42,840 I still think there's one that's that's going to be an actual 776 00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:44,639 character one of these days. Yeah. 777 00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:46,400 And they do move. One day they do. 778 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:50,040 They do move, yeah. That's that's that's you were 779 00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,560 talking about like yesterday about the the people that are in 780 00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:56,320 the the rise to a pirate student Halloween party terrifying. 781 00:34:56,840 --> 00:35:02,120 Yeah. I think I might know the answer 782 00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,840 to this one, but on site or off site? 783 00:35:05,440 --> 00:35:07,760 On site every. Single day. 784 00:35:08,080 --> 00:35:11,080 On site the benefits. Everything have you stayed? 785 00:35:11,080 --> 00:35:13,400 Off site before yeah yeah, yeah, I've. 786 00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:15,200 Done. I've done pretty much every 787 00:35:15,280 --> 00:35:19,640 version of a Disney holiday you can imagine, but prior to 788 00:35:19,640 --> 00:35:21,480 meeting Ashley I'd only stayed on site once. 789 00:35:21,840 --> 00:35:25,360 It was All Star Movies with my parents, but then most of my 790 00:35:25,360 --> 00:35:29,880 holidays have been Villas, Champions, Gate, Canaria, but 791 00:35:30,360 --> 00:35:32,480 ever since mean our shift started going to put on site and 792 00:35:32,480 --> 00:35:35,400 it's just we when we get. Married, we stayed in a villa, 793 00:35:35,400 --> 00:35:38,280 we stayed in a villa. The time before that we stayed 794 00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,080 just off international Drive in Westgate. 795 00:35:40,640 --> 00:35:42,560 I mean, that was brilliant, but we can't get that. 796 00:35:43,080 --> 00:35:44,280 I don't know how I got that. We've got. 797 00:35:44,280 --> 00:35:48,400 That really cheap 1 here. But see, by the time we factor 798 00:35:48,400 --> 00:35:52,360 into what, what led us to on site initially was the age of 799 00:35:52,360 --> 00:35:56,360 our kids and the car seat issues, car seat rooms because 800 00:35:56,440 --> 00:35:59,040 it's just as a minefield. So we thought, let's take all 801 00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,360 that out the equation and just stay on site. 802 00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:03,040 Then we don't need to worry about car seats. 803 00:36:03,040 --> 00:36:04,720 We don't need to then worry about driving. 804 00:36:05,160 --> 00:36:06,920 We don't need to you don't mind driving there. 805 00:36:06,920 --> 00:36:11,040 But when we stayed on site, it was just by the time you you 806 00:36:11,040 --> 00:36:14,520 factored an off site car parking, sometimes off site 807 00:36:14,520 --> 00:36:18,080 resort fees, sometimes like all the extra food, if you're not 808 00:36:18,080 --> 00:36:20,480 getting the dining plan included by the time you've added all 809 00:36:20,520 --> 00:36:22,560 that, you're at the. Same price as being on. 810 00:36:22,560 --> 00:36:25,800 Site anyway, aren't you? So sometimes you're just as as 811 00:36:25,960 --> 00:36:27,680 cheap, if not cheaper to stay on site. 812 00:36:28,080 --> 00:36:30,160 Yeah, it it makes. Sense I, I, I, I totally 813 00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:32,960 understand why people say in villains, but for us, since 814 00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:37,040 we've stayed on site, I think back in 2015, we've apart from 815 00:36:37,040 --> 00:36:39,440 the the odd universal. Side, I think we've stayed down 816 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,000 outside of Disney, yeah. Yeah. 817 00:36:42,280 --> 00:36:43,720 A very. Hard push for us to do it again. 818 00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,920 You don't like the term Disney? Bubble, but I don't like leaving 819 00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:52,080 that I really don't I don't like going away from the whole it's 820 00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:54,680 not I don't feel like it's not I don't feel safe. 821 00:36:54,680 --> 00:36:58,800 It's it's perfectly safe, but I just like being in that bubble. 822 00:36:58,920 --> 00:37:01,320 It's nice to just. If you're comfortable a little 823 00:37:01,320 --> 00:37:04,200 bit, it's like you, you know what to expect everywhere you go 824 00:37:04,200 --> 00:37:07,200 and it's what like you've got the dining plans. 825 00:37:07,200 --> 00:37:09,640 So everywhere you go, you can use it with this quick service 826 00:37:09,640 --> 00:37:12,160 table service, you, you sort of know what you you're getting 827 00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,160 when you're going off site. There are so many different 828 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,160 types of hotel chains, There's so many different resort fees. 829 00:37:17,160 --> 00:37:19,920 There's so many different things that you have to put into it. 830 00:37:19,920 --> 00:37:25,040 So car hire tolls, all the sort of bits that then when you put 831 00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:28,160 into your budget, into your spreadsheet into working out, is 832 00:37:28,160 --> 00:37:30,720 it worth it or not? It's only if you can get a good 833 00:37:30,720 --> 00:37:33,440 price on car hire. And then actually how much we're 834 00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:37,080 paying for parking in the in the parks, which is like $30 a day 835 00:37:37,080 --> 00:37:38,720 now. And it's, it's those sort of 836 00:37:38,720 --> 00:37:42,120 things that actually from staying on site isn't he don't 837 00:37:42,120 --> 00:37:44,000 need the car. So don't want that sort of trip. 838 00:37:44,400 --> 00:37:46,320 That's fairly true. See enough to get an Uber or 839 00:37:46,320 --> 00:37:49,080 Lyft. So yeah, that works Well, yeah, 840 00:37:49,080 --> 00:37:51,640 if we were, if we were going. Anywhere which we don't, we 841 00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,320 don't tend to go off site at all actually. 842 00:37:54,440 --> 00:37:56,720 I think when you're planning on Universal next time you're going 843 00:37:56,720 --> 00:38:00,600 to do a few days at Universal. So it sort of makes sense to, I 844 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:02,760 think that's as far as we tend to go off site when we're doing 845 00:38:02,760 --> 00:38:05,400 a split, say sometimes it's like we'll do Disney and then we'll 846 00:38:05,400 --> 00:38:09,640 do a few days at Universal and just it doesn't make sense. 847 00:38:09,640 --> 00:38:12,600 You might as well just get an Uber there and Uber back by the 848 00:38:12,600 --> 00:38:14,960 time you've added on the cost of car hire. 849 00:38:16,240 --> 00:38:17,000 Absolutely. And it's. 850 00:38:17,040 --> 00:38:20,080 Just that it pays for itself, I think doesn't certainly stay on 851 00:38:20,080 --> 00:38:21,800 site. Just the the perks that you get 852 00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:25,240 the I mean the perks used to be better, but that's the perks 853 00:38:25,240 --> 00:38:28,520 that we do get once. You add everything together and 854 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:30,720 work out what you want from your trip. 855 00:38:30,720 --> 00:38:32,880 You sort of know whether you're going to go on site or off site. 856 00:38:34,320 --> 00:38:35,760 We have now got to the final question. 857 00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:40,040 So Fest of The Lion King we're Finding Nemo the musical. 858 00:38:40,240 --> 00:38:42,720 Find the Nemo. I knew you were. 859 00:38:42,720 --> 00:38:44,840 Going to say that because you do not like Lion King. 860 00:38:45,120 --> 00:38:48,160 I was traumatized. As a kid my my mum used to take 861 00:38:48,160 --> 00:38:51,000 me into it whenever we'd have an Animal Kingdom day. 862 00:38:51,280 --> 00:38:53,840 My mum used to go see it two or three times a day and I would 863 00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:55,720 get dragged into every single time. 864 00:38:55,760 --> 00:38:58,480 I think yours is more. Dramatized, yeah, rather than 865 00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:00,400 I'd get PTSD. Lion King. 866 00:39:01,920 --> 00:39:04,920 I didn't think that was possible. 867 00:39:04,920 --> 00:39:08,120 Believe me, I like. I like Finding Nemo. 868 00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:10,080 I'm surprised that's surprised you said that. 869 00:39:10,400 --> 00:39:13,840 No, I like both. But I really like the Broadway 870 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:16,240 Bradshaws and they're in Finding Nemo. 871 00:39:16,800 --> 00:39:20,320 And I think that's why I I prefer that show over The Lion 872 00:39:20,320 --> 00:39:22,200 King. I just think Nemo has done. 873 00:39:22,200 --> 00:39:25,480 So, well, the way it's done is just so well done you've not 874 00:39:25,480 --> 00:39:27,280 even seen the the. Latest version? 875 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:29,840 It was the old version you've seen and even I like the new 876 00:39:29,840 --> 00:39:33,360 version too. I just think with Nemo it 877 00:39:33,800 --> 00:39:36,680 captures the kids more. I feel like it doesn't get as 878 00:39:36,680 --> 00:39:38,160 much. Love between the two. 879 00:39:38,560 --> 00:39:41,160 Lion King is one of those properties that no matter where 880 00:39:41,160 --> 00:39:43,600 you put it in Disney, everyone associates with it. 881 00:39:43,720 --> 00:39:48,000 I think we're Finding Nemo. It's that it's there, but 882 00:39:48,160 --> 00:39:50,760 everyone needs to sort of search for it a little bit more. 883 00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:55,520 It's something that we've got a friend who's who's Dory Katie 884 00:39:55,520 --> 00:40:01,080 Wetzel, and it's really nice to see how we've grown with her 885 00:40:01,080 --> 00:40:04,160 past few years since COVID and since have come back and how it 886 00:40:04,440 --> 00:40:08,360 adapted it and just seeing what she's been doing in that rather 887 00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,200 than various entertainment. It's really nice to see Broadway 888 00:40:12,200 --> 00:40:17,160 show style in a Disney park. It doesn't and I I think 889 00:40:17,160 --> 00:40:20,640 Professor Lion King is good. It is what it is. 890 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,880 It is one of my favorite shows, but I think that's just because 891 00:40:23,960 --> 00:40:26,160 it was. My favorite film growing up. 892 00:40:26,480 --> 00:40:29,080 So then going to see Animal Kingdom and then going to see 893 00:40:29,080 --> 00:40:33,040 that and you, you, you get attached on a star job with 894 00:40:33,040 --> 00:40:35,160 festival. Flying, which I don't think 895 00:40:35,240 --> 00:40:37,400 Nemo. People going to Finding Nemo, 896 00:40:37,400 --> 00:40:40,360 How has my nostalgia? Well, not from our generation. 897 00:40:40,360 --> 00:40:43,640 No generation or two after hours probably do, yeah. 898 00:40:44,680 --> 00:40:47,080 Yeah, that's just sad. Sad Finding Nemo hands now. 899 00:40:47,720 --> 00:40:50,920 Yeah, the the sad thing. Is The Lion King is generally 900 00:40:51,760 --> 00:40:55,240 one of my top three Disney movies, but just because the 901 00:40:55,240 --> 00:40:58,600 show and the way I get dragged into it and stuff, I, I just, I 902 00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,000 can't, I'll maybe I'll maybe I'll maybe I'll maybe face it 903 00:41:02,000 --> 00:41:04,200 the next time we go back. I I do like it. 904 00:41:04,200 --> 00:41:07,080 But looking at the kids faces when they see The Lion King 905 00:41:07,080 --> 00:41:09,320 show, and looking at the kids faces when they see the name of 906 00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:13,040 show, they're more captured by the name of show. 907 00:41:13,600 --> 00:41:16,280 They've they've really. Been big fans of the movie Lion 908 00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:18,320 King? No, they haven't really. 909 00:41:18,320 --> 00:41:20,240 But to be fair, I think that's weird. 910 00:41:20,800 --> 00:41:24,800 Our kids kind of start when Frozen came out that that kind 911 00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,560 of generation where nothing else really mattered other than 912 00:41:28,200 --> 00:41:32,120 Frozen and then Moana and then like all these princesses came 913 00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:33,720 up rather than the actual classics. 914 00:41:33,720 --> 00:41:36,880 And probably, to be fair, that's that's probably our fault for 915 00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:38,800 not putting it on in the background and things. 916 00:41:38,800 --> 00:41:41,760 But realistically, they like Nemo. 917 00:41:42,480 --> 00:41:43,760 Yeah, they're off the movies, but. 918 00:41:43,800 --> 00:41:45,920 Just as more the colours. And stuff and that, whereas I 919 00:41:45,920 --> 00:41:50,640 feel like Festival Lion Kings very like the songs are very 920 00:41:50,640 --> 00:41:55,800 musical minded whereas the ones in Nemo are really catchy for 921 00:41:55,800 --> 00:41:57,680 the kids. The best show I've ever seen. 922 00:41:57,680 --> 00:41:59,280 Disney. Was in the cruise ship, the Toy 923 00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:04,160 Story musical and the the cruise ship I've ever seen Disney do. 924 00:42:04,640 --> 00:42:07,920 Yeah, I think the best. Show I've seen Disney do is Lion 925 00:42:07,920 --> 00:42:10,440 King Rhythm of the Pride Lands of Disneyland Paris. 926 00:42:11,080 --> 00:42:14,440 We were there in 2020. I think we saw it and it was 927 00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:16,400 just. It was amazing, yeah. 928 00:42:16,400 --> 00:42:19,160 It's better than. Fest of The Lion King it's I 929 00:42:19,160 --> 00:42:22,520 would put it on par of watching The Lion King on the West End. 930 00:42:22,520 --> 00:42:25,280 It was sort of like thought by West End calibre. 931 00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:27,480 It was just it. I was so impressed from 932 00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:29,680 beginning to end. They get the right people for 933 00:42:29,680 --> 00:42:30,400 the. Job, don't they? 934 00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:33,400 They're really doing what they're doing, and what I like 935 00:42:33,400 --> 00:42:35,600 is they. Didn't just do it's so easy when 936 00:42:35,600 --> 00:42:38,680 you look at we've got a successful Lion King show in 937 00:42:38,680 --> 00:42:40,640 Walt Disney World. We could just do that in 938 00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:42,680 Disneyland Paris. Why don't we just copy the exact 939 00:42:42,680 --> 00:42:44,720 same formula, the exact same thing? 940 00:42:44,960 --> 00:42:47,480 But it's nice that they've looked at a different audience 941 00:42:48,600 --> 00:42:50,640 and just doing something different with it instead of 942 00:42:50,640 --> 00:42:53,160 just doing a cup and coffee, which I think is quite nice, 943 00:42:53,600 --> 00:42:56,360 like Phantom Manor and. Disneyland like I, I love the 944 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,440 Haunted Mansion, like absolutely love the Haunted Mansion, but 945 00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,600 for me, Phantom Manor's better. It's just hard to say but but 946 00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:06,400 it's good that they have got. These different can add options 947 00:43:06,400 --> 00:43:09,400 to these things because would you go on it somewhere else if 948 00:43:09,400 --> 00:43:11,320 it was the same, right? Probably not. 949 00:43:11,320 --> 00:43:13,600 Or the same. Show or whatever. 950 00:43:13,600 --> 00:43:15,640 So yeah. And we all know big. 951 00:43:15,640 --> 00:43:17,960 Thunder Mountain of Disneyland Paris is better than one of all 952 00:43:17,960 --> 00:43:20,680 Disney World see we've. Never been on it we've. 953 00:43:20,680 --> 00:43:24,160 Only been to Paris once and it was January and it's freezing. 954 00:43:24,360 --> 00:43:27,320 The the tracks were frozen so it wasn't running, so we've never 955 00:43:27,320 --> 00:43:29,480 actually been on it. We had to go back to a room to. 956 00:43:29,480 --> 00:43:32,560 Put on extra layers of clothing. It was minus so cold -6 that. 957 00:43:32,560 --> 00:43:35,600 Moment I think oh we've. Been there and it was a jibbery 958 00:43:35,600 --> 00:43:38,080 half term once and it that was cold. 959 00:43:38,520 --> 00:43:40,000 Yeah. Not, not not that cold. 960 00:43:40,520 --> 00:43:41,680 It was. There was snow in. 961 00:43:41,680 --> 00:43:43,640 Front of the castle which was beautiful to see. 962 00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:44,760 Gorgeous. But. 963 00:43:45,080 --> 00:43:48,200 Cold, you don't expect to be anywhere in Disney in the cold 964 00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:53,240 just because you're so used to Florida and Orlando weather and 965 00:43:53,240 --> 00:43:56,760 then being somewhere that's got a parade and you're standing 966 00:43:56,880 --> 00:44:00,760 shivering was just it was the strangest experience ever, but 967 00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,680 it was it was so good. It was. 968 00:44:03,080 --> 00:44:05,720 And I think that's The thing is. Weather impacts everyone's sort 969 00:44:05,720 --> 00:44:08,120 of trips to Disney. You, you assume if your first 970 00:44:08,120 --> 00:44:11,880 trip is to Walt Disney World, you go, OK, I'm used to 30° 971 00:44:11,880 --> 00:44:13,600 heat. This is sunny and this is lovely 972 00:44:13,600 --> 00:44:15,360 warm. Yes, it rains if you're going 973 00:44:15,360 --> 00:44:18,320 during the summer and at 3:00 in the afternoon, but 1/2 an hour 974 00:44:18,320 --> 00:44:20,320 later it's dried up. Where you go to Disneyland 975 00:44:20,320 --> 00:44:23,760 Paris, sometimes you're there for a day and it's just cold, 976 00:44:23,760 --> 00:44:24,840 raining. Or if you're there during the 977 00:44:24,840 --> 00:44:28,000 summer, we've been there and it's like 35° heat and it's 978 00:44:28,120 --> 00:44:30,280 since what time are you going? Yeah, Yeah. 979 00:44:30,320 --> 00:44:33,120 We go in September this. Year Don't we go in September? 980 00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:35,520 And it's just like, well, what? What is it going to be like? 981 00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:37,720 Is it going to be cold, cold, cooler, warm? 982 00:44:38,040 --> 00:44:39,200 You just don't know what it's going to be. 983 00:44:39,240 --> 00:44:40,640 So it's packed for all weathers, isn't it? 984 00:44:41,120 --> 00:44:42,320 Yeah. So when was your? 985 00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:47,880 Last trip to Disney NN. 2025 was our last trip and that was a wee 986 00:44:47,880 --> 00:44:51,400 bit up in the air that. 1 So I was diagnosed with breast cancer 987 00:44:51,400 --> 00:44:55,760 in November 2024 and we were supposed to give the kids a trip 988 00:44:55,760 --> 00:45:01,000 to Disneyland Paris in January of 20/24/25 for the Christmas. 989 00:45:01,520 --> 00:45:03,880 But because I was diagnosed, I mean, this was all booked, but 990 00:45:03,880 --> 00:45:06,640 because I was diagnosed, we changed it to Disney. 991 00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:10,520 We're going to Disney. So that could be Disney on Ice, 992 00:45:10,520 --> 00:45:14,080 that could be the Disney Store in London, like whatever we 993 00:45:14,080 --> 00:45:16,480 could do. They didn't obviously know, but 994 00:45:16,560 --> 00:45:19,480 they probably don't know too much about the diagnosis just 995 00:45:19,480 --> 00:45:23,800 now anyway. But it was very much, well, that 996 00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,760 holiday's now having to be cancelled. 997 00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:29,280 Got the money back for it. I need, I need a focus. 998 00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:33,840 And the focus was to go back to Orlando in November. 999 00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:36,280 But we never, we, it was only really us that kind of knew 1000 00:45:36,280 --> 00:45:38,080 about that. Yeah, our friends were always 1001 00:45:38,080 --> 00:45:39,760 good. And we went with friends and 1002 00:45:39,760 --> 00:45:40,760 they were always good in November. 1003 00:45:40,760 --> 00:45:43,640 So we can hijack their trip. Yeah, but just like. 1004 00:45:43,840 --> 00:45:46,680 That so. But I still remember the day we 1005 00:45:46,680 --> 00:45:48,400 got told that you were fit enough to go. 1006 00:45:48,400 --> 00:45:49,600 I was told I was allowed to go and. 1007 00:45:49,600 --> 00:45:56,760 I like chest my oncologist but. It was such a definite 1008 00:45:56,760 --> 00:45:58,920 experience. Going though, because obviously 1009 00:45:58,920 --> 00:45:59,960 we don't know what we're going to get. 1010 00:45:59,960 --> 00:46:02,080 And then when we got it was like, you're so grateful to be 1011 00:46:02,080 --> 00:46:03,480 there. But at the same time it's so 1012 00:46:03,480 --> 00:46:05,400 bittersweet because there's so much I couldn't do. 1013 00:46:05,400 --> 00:46:06,960 Like so many rides I couldn't ride. 1014 00:46:07,440 --> 00:46:12,200 So just just so much like I did ride test track and I've got 1015 00:46:12,200 --> 00:46:15,080 like the disgusting kind of port thing going on in my chest for 1016 00:46:15,080 --> 00:46:18,840 the the chemo and the seat belt just kept rubbing off it and you 1017 00:46:18,840 --> 00:46:21,440 don't think about these things gives me the heat beats. 1018 00:46:21,960 --> 00:46:24,360 It's not nice. And then I did ride guardians, 1019 00:46:24,360 --> 00:46:26,320 But obviously I was like this to my wig. 1020 00:46:26,320 --> 00:46:29,400 I was holding my head on my head and a friend who was sitting 1021 00:46:29,400 --> 00:46:30,960 behind us. He's like, I had visions of 1022 00:46:30,960 --> 00:46:35,360 getting his wig just shoved in my face halfway through right? 1023 00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:38,880 That that. That ride does spin a lot and I 1024 00:46:38,880 --> 00:46:41,520 think wasn't the first time. First time I went on it, I got 1025 00:46:41,520 --> 00:46:43,360 hit in the head with someone's hat. 1026 00:46:43,920 --> 00:46:45,840 It's off someone's head, so it's like hit me straight in the 1027 00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:48,840 head. It's like, yeah, it just he 1028 00:46:48,840 --> 00:46:49,960 never got that back. Happened. 1029 00:46:50,040 --> 00:46:51,800 I don't think he did. No, no. 1030 00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:54,320 We'd never got that. Back but yeah, it was just it 1031 00:46:54,320 --> 00:46:56,680 was very much like I'm lucky to be here so enjoy it. 1032 00:46:56,680 --> 00:46:59,080 But at the same time I was like, I want to go on that right and I 1033 00:46:59,080 --> 00:47:01,600 want to do this and like rock and roller coaster. 1034 00:47:01,600 --> 00:47:04,040 I was desperate to do that for one last time, but there was no 1035 00:47:04,040 --> 00:47:06,440 way I could do that. Like no way at all. 1036 00:47:06,600 --> 00:47:08,880 And that's another reason why we got the cabana and things. 1037 00:47:08,880 --> 00:47:11,360 I couldn't really go in the water too much, so I was so I 1038 00:47:11,560 --> 00:47:14,160 was guaranteed to have like shade. 1039 00:47:15,960 --> 00:47:17,760 But yeah, that was for a friend's 50th birthday. 1040 00:47:17,760 --> 00:47:20,040 And we we can hijack the trip a little bit, don't we? 1041 00:47:20,040 --> 00:47:22,680 Then he end up paying for. Lacelli for his 50th birthday. 1042 00:47:22,680 --> 00:47:24,400 So his birthday. He paid for the dinner. 1043 00:47:24,400 --> 00:47:27,440 So it was all good. Yeah, definitely. 1044 00:47:27,960 --> 00:47:30,360 But yes, it's not not long for your next trip or you because 1045 00:47:30,360 --> 00:47:32,640 you're going to do some Paris in September. 1046 00:47:32,840 --> 00:47:35,320 Yeah, September. Disneyland Paris for a few 1047 00:47:35,320 --> 00:47:37,520 nights and then to Paris for a few nights as well. 1048 00:47:37,520 --> 00:47:40,880 Trying to get the kids a little culture to see the Eiffel Tower 1049 00:47:40,880 --> 00:47:42,560 and stuff like that. I'm obviously. 1050 00:47:42,560 --> 00:47:44,640 Yeah, that's a really. Good thing to do, because I 1051 00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:45,960 haven't. We every time we've gone to 1052 00:47:45,960 --> 00:47:48,120 Disneyland Paris, we've just been to Disneyland Paris. 1053 00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:50,800 We used to get to Paris itself one day apparently. 1054 00:47:50,920 --> 00:47:53,000 It's the one of the most beautiful cities in Europe, I 1055 00:47:53,240 --> 00:47:56,720 think, just because we're. Down in Kent for us it was like 1056 00:47:56,800 --> 00:48:00,800 like a 3-4 hour drive down to Disneyland Paris or and we used 1057 00:48:00,800 --> 00:48:03,080 to go to Eurostar when it run from the Ashford. 1058 00:48:03,840 --> 00:48:07,000 So just sort of it would drop you outside of Disneyland Paris. 1059 00:48:07,000 --> 00:48:09,960 By now we sort, we have to go to Paris, then get to the Paris. 1060 00:48:10,280 --> 00:48:13,160 So I think now we'd be more inclined to spend a few days in 1061 00:48:13,160 --> 00:48:15,080 Paris. Yeah, because you have to go 1062 00:48:15,080 --> 00:48:17,120 that way. Anyway, so he pays well, don't 1063 00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:18,840 that. The thing is, I I. 1064 00:48:18,840 --> 00:48:22,280 Work with emergency services. I'm a police officer, so I 1065 00:48:22,280 --> 00:48:25,880 basically get told where my time off is, but it's not always 1066 00:48:25,880 --> 00:48:28,960 school holidays. So I do have to take the kids 1067 00:48:28,960 --> 00:48:30,920 out of school a lot to go on these holidays. 1068 00:48:30,920 --> 00:48:32,280 So. So where can I like. 1069 00:48:32,280 --> 00:48:33,680 Yeah. Yeah, we're kind of trying to. 1070 00:48:33,680 --> 00:48:36,600 Culture it up a little bit by taking them and saying, well, we 1071 00:48:36,600 --> 00:48:38,040 might have took them out of school but we took them to 1072 00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:40,400 France, you know, that's an education for them as well. 1073 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:41,560 Yeah, let them see the Eiffel Tower. 1074 00:48:41,560 --> 00:48:43,440 We're going. To go to what's the name of the 1075 00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:45,200 the museum? We have the Mona Lisa. 1076 00:48:45,200 --> 00:48:47,480 Want to go see the Mona Lisa? We'll go there. 1077 00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:49,600 There's there's, there's lots that they want to do and we're 1078 00:48:49,680 --> 00:48:52,320 kind of trying to actively encourage them to research 1079 00:48:52,520 --> 00:48:56,360 things that they want to do as well so that that part of so 1080 00:48:56,360 --> 00:48:59,200 they don't get bored in Paris. They're because we're doing 1081 00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,280 Disney. First, Disney would be a very 1082 00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:03,200 good thing to do. Second, because it would be a 1083 00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:05,320 case of it, come on, let us do this because we've then got 1084 00:49:05,320 --> 00:49:07,400 Disney to go to. I've not decided if I'm coming 1085 00:49:07,440 --> 00:49:07,760 to. Paris. 1086 00:49:07,760 --> 00:49:09,800 Shit, you're going to Paris, You're leaving. 1087 00:49:09,880 --> 00:49:11,160 Disney and you're coming to Paris. 1088 00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:14,280 That's Disney and staying at Disney's. 1089 00:49:14,480 --> 00:49:16,280 Yeah, that is what. You would do? 1090 00:49:16,320 --> 00:49:19,560 Yeah, definitely. Kids don't want to stay with 1091 00:49:19,560 --> 00:49:21,800 you. Yeah, no. 1092 00:49:23,960 --> 00:49:26,280 I'm going on a solo day. A solo track, yeah. 1093 00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:28,400 So where did? Both of your sort of Disney 1094 00:49:28,400 --> 00:49:30,280 history start. So you mentioned that you were a 1095 00:49:30,280 --> 00:49:32,560 cast member. Yeah, I was a cast member in. 1096 00:49:32,560 --> 00:49:37,520 2000 and nine, 2010. In Epcot I'd done the cultural 1097 00:49:37,520 --> 00:49:41,280 representative program and I worked in the UK pavilion in 1098 00:49:41,280 --> 00:49:43,800 Epcot. I'd done the merchandise side of 1099 00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:46,280 things. My love of Disney. 1100 00:49:47,800 --> 00:49:50,480 I've started very young. I've always been into animation. 1101 00:49:50,480 --> 00:49:55,280 I love animation. The first most that I ever 1102 00:49:55,400 --> 00:49:58,720 watched the cartoons and stuff like that wasn't Mickey himself, 1103 00:49:58,720 --> 00:50:02,400 It was Tom and Jerry. So that that was my first kind 1104 00:50:02,400 --> 00:50:05,880 of, that was my first big that's made me love animation. 1105 00:50:05,880 --> 00:50:08,640 But then obviously you start to learn about Walt Disney himself, 1106 00:50:09,040 --> 00:50:12,280 the multiplaying camera, you know, all of that kind of stuff. 1107 00:50:12,280 --> 00:50:15,960 And it just grabbed my interest and just a general love out of 1108 00:50:15,960 --> 00:50:18,200 animation. So that's where my love of 1109 00:50:18,200 --> 00:50:20,560 Disney came from. And I was very fortunate growing 1110 00:50:20,560 --> 00:50:23,400 up that my parents took me to Disney World quite a lot. 1111 00:50:24,320 --> 00:50:28,800 My first holiday abroad was Walt Disney World, and I've been 1112 00:50:29,240 --> 00:50:31,560 fortunate enough to go a few times with them. 1113 00:50:32,080 --> 00:50:35,760 And then I've been myself. I think we've been together. 1114 00:50:36,280 --> 00:50:39,760 I've been as the kids, yeah. But the year I spent as a cast 1115 00:50:39,760 --> 00:50:43,440 member was just outstanding, as you can probably imagine. 1116 00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:47,200 It's just, it was such a great opportunity that I've got to do 1117 00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,160 so. Yeah. 1118 00:50:48,600 --> 00:50:49,800 And I think that's another reason why we. 1119 00:50:49,800 --> 00:50:52,640 Go back often, you know, people out there, we go and meet them 1120 00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,480 and we've got friends out there, so we go and see them. 1121 00:50:55,480 --> 00:50:59,480 It's not just, yeah, we go for the holiday, but we go and visit 1122 00:50:59,480 --> 00:51:01,200 them too. And it's, it's nice to have 1123 00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:04,120 that, that side of it as well. You weren't really. 1124 00:51:04,680 --> 00:51:07,240 Massive on on Disney until you really met me. 1125 00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:09,840 No, I'm still. I'm not saying I'm still not 1126 00:51:09,840 --> 00:51:12,800 massive on it. I love going to Disney World. 1127 00:51:12,880 --> 00:51:13,720 I do. I love it. 1128 00:51:13,920 --> 00:51:17,400 I went twice as a child and then when I met you, you were 1129 00:51:17,400 --> 00:51:19,960 desperate for us to go because you wanted to show me 1130 00:51:20,040 --> 00:51:22,520 everything. And we, it was great. 1131 00:51:22,520 --> 00:51:23,480 We did. We went. 1132 00:51:23,480 --> 00:51:26,120 And the more I've got to know about it, the more I love it. 1133 00:51:26,120 --> 00:51:29,040 I'm still not one for wearing character clothing. 1134 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:31,000 I don't. I just don't do it. 1135 00:51:31,000 --> 00:51:33,760 I'm not, I've only recently started wearing ears. 1136 00:51:34,120 --> 00:51:36,160 So we're, we're getting there slowly. 1137 00:51:36,160 --> 00:51:37,560 But Darren's like the polar opposite. 1138 00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,120 He's like the biggest, as you can see right now, he's wearing 1139 00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:46,120 a Haunted Mansion Roosevelt's. So like he's constantly wearing 1140 00:51:46,120 --> 00:51:48,640 something Disney. Whereas, I mean, I've just put a 1141 00:51:48,800 --> 00:51:51,920 a Disney hoodoo on tonight, but that's the 'cause I. 1142 00:51:53,120 --> 00:51:55,840 Thought I need to talk. About for us, we're talking 1143 00:51:55,840 --> 00:52:00,040 about Disney. But but yeah, I think it's just, 1144 00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:02,360 it's not, it's not the Mickey Mouse thing, it's not the Disney 1145 00:52:02,360 --> 00:52:04,040 thing. It's just the feels that you get 1146 00:52:04,040 --> 00:52:07,240 when you're there. It's the smells, it's the food. 1147 00:52:07,320 --> 00:52:09,440 It's just people think, oh, you're going there again. 1148 00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:13,240 Yeah, yeah. We are and I don't anywhere 1149 00:52:13,240 --> 00:52:15,560 else. It's the it's. 1150 00:52:15,600 --> 00:52:17,800 The reason you have that reason to go back. 1151 00:52:17,800 --> 00:52:20,240 And I used to have someone who used to go to Spain every year 1152 00:52:20,600 --> 00:52:22,480 and I asked them, they said, oh, we'd love the beach, we'd love 1153 00:52:22,480 --> 00:52:24,160 this. And like, that's your reason for 1154 00:52:24,160 --> 00:52:27,120 going back. I have my reason because I feel 1155 00:52:27,120 --> 00:52:29,800 I'm in that bubble. I mean that I know what, but 1156 00:52:29,840 --> 00:52:32,280 after our first trip it was like we didn't get to do. 1157 00:52:32,960 --> 00:52:35,600 It's a typical first trip where you buy all the tickets for 1158 00:52:35,600 --> 00:52:39,640 everything, but you have two weeks and you don't get to do 1159 00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:41,320 half of it. And then you realise how much 1160 00:52:41,320 --> 00:52:44,000 stuff there is and they keep adding and you just like, I want 1161 00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:46,400 to go back and do more and they know how to capture. 1162 00:52:46,440 --> 00:52:47,760 You don't even know how to get you back. 1163 00:52:47,760 --> 00:52:49,160 There's always something new. There's always. 1164 00:52:49,160 --> 00:52:52,240 Something happening and it's always constantly evolving, and 1165 00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,120 that's the thing as much. As sometimes you don't agree 1166 00:52:55,120 --> 00:52:56,960 with what they're doing. Dinosaur. 1167 00:52:57,560 --> 00:52:59,880 Yes, that's. Exactly what I was thinking. 1168 00:53:00,560 --> 00:53:04,920 But they they know what they're doing and they know why they're 1169 00:53:04,920 --> 00:53:06,880 doing it. And it always seems to work. 1170 00:53:07,360 --> 00:53:10,040 It was like the castle as well. I was gutted that they were 1171 00:53:10,040 --> 00:53:11,960 painting it pink. And then we seen it and I was 1172 00:53:11,960 --> 00:53:13,640 like, don't paint that back. Don't change it back. 1173 00:53:13,640 --> 00:53:15,160 Just leave it because it's so beautiful. 1174 00:53:15,560 --> 00:53:17,600 And now they've changed it back. And I'm like, yeah, that was the 1175 00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:18,200 right thing, too. Yeah. 1176 00:53:18,280 --> 00:53:20,280 But we we were both. Working to see the 25th 1177 00:53:20,280 --> 00:53:22,400 anniversary we that was Oh, it's the kind. 1178 00:53:24,320 --> 00:53:27,920 And we actually both. This is such an unpopular 1179 00:53:27,920 --> 00:53:28,960 opinion. We both loved it. 1180 00:53:29,600 --> 00:53:32,800 Absolutely. That you've got to see it. 1181 00:53:33,880 --> 00:53:35,240 Like it might be one of those things. 1182 00:53:36,080 --> 00:53:38,080 Yeah. You see a picture and it's 1183 00:53:38,080 --> 00:53:40,280 different to what you see. It's better in real. 1184 00:53:40,280 --> 00:53:42,200 Life, I mean we, we've seen it with eyes. 1185 00:53:42,200 --> 00:53:46,280 So I can say to me it's been one of the best castles and two was 1186 00:53:46,280 --> 00:53:48,280 it 2? Years ago we were there and 1187 00:53:48,280 --> 00:53:51,480 inside one of the shops they had a key chain with up on it, 1188 00:53:51,480 --> 00:53:53,320 didn't they? And we bought it and it's the 1189 00:53:53,320 --> 00:53:56,480 very first piece of merchandise we've seen since with the cake 1190 00:53:56,480 --> 00:53:58,520 on it. And I just, I think it's 1191 00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,040 definitely one of these things that you had to see to 1192 00:54:02,040 --> 00:54:03,640 appreciate. And I say appreciate it. 1193 00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:05,280 Everybody just absolutely slates it. 1194 00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:08,800 But I absolutely loved it. And we actually worked out that 1195 00:54:08,800 --> 00:54:10,200 we were both there at the same time. 1196 00:54:10,360 --> 00:54:12,480 So we've been scouring photographs to see if we're in 1197 00:54:12,480 --> 00:54:14,440 the backgrounds of each other's photographs. 1198 00:54:15,280 --> 00:54:18,480 Oh, that's amazing. It's yeah, I think that's, I 1199 00:54:18,480 --> 00:54:21,920 think our, our, I remember when they announced they were 1200 00:54:21,920 --> 00:54:24,560 changing it to pink and it was like, obviously we can go there 1201 00:54:24,560 --> 00:54:27,480 because of COVID, but we're all like watching on social media 1202 00:54:27,480 --> 00:54:30,360 and looking at them painting and going like, oh, it doesn't look 1203 00:54:30,360 --> 00:54:31,480 right. I want it back to the way it was 1204 00:54:31,480 --> 00:54:33,480 because that's what you know, and that's what you remember it 1205 00:54:33,480 --> 00:54:35,440 to be. And now seeing the pictures of 1206 00:54:35,440 --> 00:54:39,000 what it has been painted back to now, like I can't wait to go and 1207 00:54:39,000 --> 00:54:40,920 see it. Yeah, that's that's quite how. 1208 00:54:40,920 --> 00:54:43,040 Much I missed for that colour. Yeah, I'm. 1209 00:54:43,360 --> 00:54:45,360 Absolutely dying. To see it back there, I was so 1210 00:54:45,360 --> 00:54:46,320 annoyed that they were going to paint. 1211 00:54:46,320 --> 00:54:49,720 It back now they've done it. I'm like, yeah, I can't wait 1212 00:54:49,720 --> 00:54:50,640 till he. Lies on it yeah. 1213 00:54:51,760 --> 00:54:52,440 So yeah, I. Think that's. 1214 00:54:53,120 --> 00:54:55,520 That's been our. As I say, it was just animation 1215 00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:57,400 for. Me, I was just animation, right, 1216 00:54:57,400 --> 00:54:59,880 left and center. Walmer Brothers was my first go 1217 00:54:59,880 --> 00:55:02,960 to. But Disney, as soon as I started 1218 00:55:02,960 --> 00:55:06,520 to properly look at animation and the multiplane camera, what 1219 00:55:06,520 --> 00:55:08,360 Walt was doing, it was different from everybody. 1220 00:55:08,480 --> 00:55:11,800 No, I say, Walt, what Walt and his team were doing, it's 1221 00:55:11,800 --> 00:55:15,320 different from everybody else. So yeah, I've always been a big 1222 00:55:15,320 --> 00:55:17,240 animation fan. Yeah, and I think it's just been 1223 00:55:17,240 --> 00:55:19,480 you. That's that's kind of not not 1224 00:55:19,480 --> 00:55:22,280 dragged me into it as such, but that's a harsh 1. 1225 00:55:24,080 --> 00:55:26,200 Dragged me. I've gone along for the ride. 1226 00:55:26,200 --> 00:55:27,520 It's. It's one of those things, isn't 1227 00:55:27,560 --> 00:55:30,080 it? It's so difficult I might as 1228 00:55:30,080 --> 00:55:31,240 well just. Drag you to Spain? 1229 00:55:31,280 --> 00:55:34,800 No, I remember you saying. Though that Oh yeah, there's no 1230 00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:36,800 tables so we'll just stay on top of this trash can. 1231 00:55:36,800 --> 00:55:38,920 And I went what? That's a right of passing. 1232 00:55:38,960 --> 00:55:41,080 What? And then say, now I'm like, no, 1233 00:55:41,080 --> 00:55:42,920 there's no tables. There's a trash can that'll do. 1234 00:55:43,280 --> 00:55:45,880 It's like, you just change your mindset, Don't you like when you 1235 00:55:46,320 --> 00:55:48,240 get to it? And I think now because I'm 1236 00:55:48,240 --> 00:55:51,280 spearheading our page and doing whatever, whatever we need to 1237 00:55:51,280 --> 00:55:53,720 do, I'm kind of taking the lead now on it. 1238 00:55:53,720 --> 00:55:56,560 And now I'm more interested in certain aspects of it than what 1239 00:55:56,560 --> 00:56:00,640 you are because I'm I'm focusing on that every single day so we 1240 00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:01,600 don't have to keep your mind off of. 1241 00:56:01,600 --> 00:56:03,240 Things yeah, to doing that just now to. 1242 00:56:03,240 --> 00:56:05,720 Keep my mind off everything but I can't do it while I'm. 1243 00:56:05,720 --> 00:56:07,440 Working and trying to keep the roof above our heads, No. 1244 00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:09,880 Well, that's true, but. Yeah, it's, it's a good focus 1245 00:56:09,880 --> 00:56:12,800 and it's definitely, Disney has definitely got me through this 1246 00:56:12,800 --> 00:56:18,160 last year, like on all aspects of it, like aiming for that trip 1247 00:56:18,200 --> 00:56:21,000 and then after that trip helping other people plan their trips. 1248 00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:22,600 That's that's what's got me through this. 1249 00:56:22,600 --> 00:56:26,760 And I just think it's Disney's just amazing. 1250 00:56:27,480 --> 00:56:29,640 I would have never. Got any intention of going 1251 00:56:29,640 --> 00:56:31,600 anywhere else we would miss a holiday? 1252 00:56:31,760 --> 00:56:33,920 One year so that we could go to Disney the following year. 1253 00:56:33,960 --> 00:56:36,560 Yeah, we've. Done so many different types of 1254 00:56:36,560 --> 00:56:39,760 trips and that's the thing for Disney, especially going to 1255 00:56:40,040 --> 00:56:41,480 Florida. Some different ways to do a 1256 00:56:41,480 --> 00:56:44,880 trip, whether you want to do a part Disney, part Universal or 1257 00:56:44,880 --> 00:56:47,960 Disney and a cruise or what time of year you go to Disney. 1258 00:56:47,960 --> 00:56:51,480 Whether you're doing a Halloween party, Christmas or just going 1259 00:56:51,480 --> 00:56:53,800 for when there's actually nothing on because I'm looking 1260 00:56:53,800 --> 00:56:55,320 forward to. I think we're planning to go 1261 00:56:55,320 --> 00:56:59,560 next May when there isn't the only thing on probably be Flower 1262 00:56:59,560 --> 00:57:02,680 Garden Festival but they'll be straight without any 1263 00:57:02,680 --> 00:57:05,080 decorations. Yeah, it's been in August. 1264 00:57:05,520 --> 00:57:08,720 Recent last year, so there's pumpkins everywhere at the 1265 00:57:08,720 --> 00:57:12,360 beginning of August It's it's everyone there's so many 1266 00:57:12,360 --> 00:57:16,120 different ways of doing a trip to Disney and I'm sort of in the 1267 00:57:16,120 --> 00:57:19,320 four different rockeries lately One thing I'll never. 1268 00:57:19,320 --> 00:57:22,240 Go back in November? No, because the crowds were. 1269 00:57:22,440 --> 00:57:23,440 The crowds. Were insane. 1270 00:57:23,440 --> 00:57:26,960 That was crazy, but, and I know the crowds Disney used to have a 1271 00:57:26,960 --> 00:57:30,840 quiet period inverted commas. You know, you're August to maybe 1272 00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:34,560 the first week of October was your kind of war season, but it 1273 00:57:34,560 --> 00:57:37,400 just doesn't happen anymore. But those crowds in November 1274 00:57:37,400 --> 00:57:40,680 that we experienced were insane. We took a trip to the. 1275 00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:44,040 Outlets on veteran's day. We forgot it was veteran's day 1276 00:57:44,080 --> 00:57:46,160 and it was a three hour wait for the character warehouse. 1277 00:57:46,920 --> 00:57:48,640 Yeah. No, veteran's day is. 1278 00:57:49,040 --> 00:57:51,800 We were there in November for Veteran's Day. 1279 00:57:52,320 --> 00:57:54,040 We've done it a few times. Yeah. 1280 00:57:54,040 --> 00:57:58,880 And and our first trip in 2014 in November was incredible. 1281 00:57:58,960 --> 00:58:01,120 It was quiet. It felt like it was quiet season 1282 00:58:01,160 --> 00:58:03,880 apart from every day, apart from investments day. 1283 00:58:04,680 --> 00:58:11,280 But since sort of 2020, I think, yeah, it's just there's no 1284 00:58:11,280 --> 00:58:12,960 quiet. Everyone wants to. 1285 00:58:13,200 --> 00:58:15,560 Go all the time, regardless of the prices increasing. 1286 00:58:15,560 --> 00:58:18,440 How much we moan about them and that's people are still paying 1287 00:58:18,520 --> 00:58:19,680 it aren't? They people are still paying the 1288 00:58:19,680 --> 00:58:21,560 prices like we were. We were looking at prices for 1289 00:58:21,560 --> 00:58:23,200 the Premier past the other day and they were, they were 1290 00:58:23,200 --> 00:58:24,800 completely sold out. And I was like what? 1291 00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:27,080 Why are people paying? Why are people paying for? 1292 00:58:27,080 --> 00:58:31,040 That it just like how much is a day and it's when you think if 1293 00:58:31,040 --> 00:58:34,400 you've got a family of four or larger group and it's just, it 1294 00:58:34,400 --> 00:58:36,120 doesn't make sense. We talked to a friend a few 1295 00:58:36,120 --> 00:58:40,280 months ago who was pricing up the Premier Pass versus how much 1296 00:58:40,280 --> 00:58:42,480 it would be to do with the VIP tool. 1297 00:58:43,440 --> 00:58:46,680 And actually VIP tool works out better value if you're in a 1298 00:58:46,680 --> 00:58:49,720 larger group than the Premier pass and you've got so much 1299 00:58:49,720 --> 00:58:53,080 other added benefits to it. But people are spending that 1300 00:58:53,080 --> 00:58:56,760 amount of money to have that sort of special time in Disney. 1301 00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:59,680 And one part it's. Crazy Yeah 1. 1302 00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:01,240 Part. For for us, it's not on our 1303 00:59:01,240 --> 00:59:03,040 budget. At all, it's definitely. 1304 00:59:03,640 --> 00:59:04,400 Not. It's not. 1305 00:59:04,600 --> 00:59:06,360 It's not. Worth it, especially if I find 1306 00:59:06,360 --> 00:59:09,680 from, especially going from the UK, generally you're going to be 1307 00:59:09,680 --> 00:59:13,400 there for a couple of weeks. So generally the only time we 1308 00:59:13,400 --> 00:59:16,240 ever buy Lightning Lane is if it's towards the end of the trip 1309 00:59:16,240 --> 00:59:19,080 and we haven't managed to get on attractions if something's 1310 00:59:19,080 --> 00:59:22,600 happened. Or I think last year in August 1311 00:59:22,600 --> 00:59:26,160 we did it for Animal Kingdom because I, we were, I'll, I was 1312 00:59:26,160 --> 00:59:27,520 old for a day. And then there was just because 1313 00:59:27,720 --> 00:59:29,480 when you have one with our annual Kingdom, I want to make 1314 00:59:29,480 --> 00:59:32,520 sure I got on Everest and everything. 1315 00:59:32,520 --> 00:59:33,440 Else I thought, do you know what it's? 1316 00:59:33,680 --> 00:59:36,880 The last day, let's buy it. I didn't need it in the end, but 1317 00:59:36,880 --> 00:59:39,960 it was one of those things that I'm glad, glad we did, glad you 1318 00:59:39,960 --> 00:59:40,520 had it. It's. 1319 00:59:40,520 --> 00:59:43,680 Not something we have. In to use every day. 1320 00:59:43,680 --> 00:59:46,840 It's not we're not there for a three night trip so just fit 1321 00:59:46,840 --> 00:59:49,400 everything in. It's not I'm not travelling all 1322 00:59:49,400 --> 00:59:53,120 that way to do 3 nights because it goes bad to the question. 1323 00:59:53,120 --> 00:59:56,280 Earlier you're a rope drop person in a late night, you go 1324 00:59:56,280 --> 00:59:58,200 either of them, you're going to get your rice done that you want 1325 00:59:58,200 --> 00:59:59,960 to get done. You rope drop, you get the 1326 00:59:59,960 --> 01:00:02,320 biggest ride during the day, you're already ahead of the 1327 01:00:02,320 --> 01:00:04,440 game, but as if you're staying later on at night. 1328 01:00:04,440 --> 01:00:08,120 Naturally the queues are lower at the end of the night and the 1329 01:00:08,240 --> 01:00:10,040 fireworks so. If you've seen the fireworks 1330 01:00:10,040 --> 01:00:11,520 jump in the cute fireworks, then you go. 1331 01:00:11,520 --> 01:00:14,040 It's just about climbing. It and thinking about jumping 10 1332 01:00:14,040 --> 01:00:15,160 minutes before. Closing. 1333 01:00:15,360 --> 01:00:18,320 Yeah, yeah. Yeah, it's it's a great thing to 1334 01:00:18,320 --> 01:00:20,960 do. We've did that with a passage. 1335 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:24,080 We're one of the last time to walk out of Pandora. 1336 01:00:24,240 --> 01:00:26,560 And then you just see the security guards behind you as 1337 01:00:26,680 --> 01:00:29,480 just sort of edging you close to leaving the park. 1338 01:00:29,480 --> 01:00:32,120 It's like, OK, maybe we have overstayed a little. 1339 01:00:33,880 --> 01:00:35,360 Bit we did. Hang around a little while 1340 01:00:35,360 --> 01:00:38,160 because there was a thunderstorm in the distance and the pictures 1341 01:00:38,480 --> 01:00:41,280 and video we were getting that was amazing. 1342 01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:44,760 Because you in Pandora with bioluminescent flora. 1343 01:00:45,040 --> 01:00:48,520 And it was just, Yeah, it was the sounds. 1344 01:00:48,520 --> 01:00:50,560 It was. It's amazing. 1345 01:00:50,680 --> 01:00:53,840 It really is. And this is the special thing 1346 01:00:53,840 --> 01:00:55,600 about Disney. I don't know many other 1347 01:00:55,960 --> 01:00:58,320 locations in the world that people come together and talk 1348 01:00:58,320 --> 01:01:01,640 about a place like this that has those those memories. 1349 01:01:02,080 --> 01:01:05,760 Do you not think though that? That when people say, oh, you 1350 01:01:05,760 --> 01:01:09,280 just grow up like you don't Disney's a place for everyone. 1351 01:01:09,720 --> 01:01:12,040 It's not. It's not because you like the 1352 01:01:12,040 --> 01:01:13,840 whole Mickey Mouse parades, blah, blah, blah. 1353 01:01:14,160 --> 01:01:17,240 Yeah, that's great. But there's so much for adults 1354 01:01:17,240 --> 01:01:20,720 to do and it's just incredible. And it's that's your favorite 1355 01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:21,480 drinking around the. World. 1356 01:01:21,480 --> 01:01:23,440 Yeah, drinking around the world or a skettering at all. 1357 01:01:23,760 --> 01:01:26,720 But what I do think is people who are saying this are people 1358 01:01:26,720 --> 01:01:29,640 who haven't experienced it. And I think they have to 1359 01:01:29,640 --> 01:01:32,600 experience it to to see what you're actually talking about. 1360 01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:36,200 I've got I've got a brother. Who has been to Florida as many 1361 01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:38,840 times as I have, and he loathed the place. 1362 01:01:38,840 --> 01:01:41,160 He absolutely loathed it. And he was brought up the same 1363 01:01:41,160 --> 01:01:44,040 as me, you know, watching Disney movies and stuff like that. 1364 01:01:44,080 --> 01:01:46,400 But for some reason he absolutely loves it. 1365 01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:48,840 So even within families, you can have that. 1366 01:01:48,840 --> 01:01:51,920 Like he says to me all the time, you're not going back to Disney, 1367 01:01:51,920 --> 01:01:52,760 are you? I'm like, Yep. 1368 01:01:53,080 --> 01:01:55,960 But we've actually we've got a. Friend who said I'm not going 1369 01:01:55,960 --> 01:01:57,920 to, I'm not taking my kids to Disney World because I don't 1370 01:01:57,920 --> 01:02:00,200 want them to eat burgers and chips for two weeks. 1371 01:02:00,200 --> 01:02:02,840 And I'm like, but it's so much more than that anymore. 1372 01:02:03,240 --> 01:02:06,960 Yeah, it's so much more. Than that the food's so diverse 1373 01:02:06,960 --> 01:02:09,400 now. I mean, maybe back in the 90s it 1374 01:02:09,400 --> 01:02:13,000 was burgers and chips and chicken tenders for a free meal. 1375 01:02:15,560 --> 01:02:16,840 Chicken tenders you. Want to? 1376 01:02:17,240 --> 01:02:18,640 Start Disney chicken tenders are the. 1377 01:02:18,640 --> 01:02:21,520 Best to be fair. No, no, no, no, no Disney. 1378 01:02:21,720 --> 01:02:23,560 Disney Cruise Line chicken tenders. 1379 01:02:24,720 --> 01:02:26,240 That's that's. That's the game. 1380 01:02:26,640 --> 01:02:28,560 Yeah, you still got one over. That one. 1381 01:02:30,520 --> 01:02:31,720 That's fine. Then I'll just I'll just. 1382 01:02:32,040 --> 01:02:34,280 I'll just go my cruise myself and just go back to the bed 1383 01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:38,360 where a whole bunch of chicken tenders will be delighted so you 1384 01:02:38,400 --> 01:02:40,880 can get room service. Chicken tenders, yeah, yeah, 1385 01:02:41,040 --> 01:02:42,680 that'll be after the. Finished, you need to leave 1386 01:02:42,720 --> 01:02:43,960 yourself to. Finish on the new pack. 1387 01:02:45,400 --> 01:02:47,960 But no, I think if our. If we go with our kids and with 1388 01:02:47,960 --> 01:02:49,560 the heat, if it knocks them off and all they want to eat is 1389 01:02:49,560 --> 01:02:52,480 fries for the entire two weeks, then do you know what is it 1390 01:02:52,480 --> 01:02:54,000 doing any harm? It's only two weeks. 1391 01:02:54,760 --> 01:02:57,360 It's a. Holiday what no matter where you 1392 01:02:57,360 --> 01:03:00,040 go, there's going to be chicken tenders or burgers and stuff on 1393 01:03:00,040 --> 01:03:02,920 the menu if you send the UK, you go to the UK theme park if you 1394 01:03:02,920 --> 01:03:05,880 look what's on there, it's like you're in McDonald's you're 1395 01:03:06,000 --> 01:03:08,720 you're having the similar sort of options to eat yes. 1396 01:03:08,720 --> 01:03:12,320 It's so it's, it's priced higher than McDonald's, but it's one of 1397 01:03:12,320 --> 01:03:14,440 those things that I think we're Disney. 1398 01:03:14,440 --> 01:03:16,560 We were looking the other day because we're doing a few days 1399 01:03:16,760 --> 01:03:20,000 before our cruise and after our cruise somewhere we want to eat. 1400 01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:23,360 But we it took us a good couple of hours scrolling through the 1401 01:03:23,360 --> 01:03:25,280 menus. We're just seeing what is 1402 01:03:25,280 --> 01:03:28,280 available to eat. And I don't think I come across 1403 01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:30,520 a burger that I was going to have once on there. 1404 01:03:30,960 --> 01:03:33,760 Well, Eric has actually. Kept asking to go back to our 1405 01:03:33,800 --> 01:03:38,000 friends resort the Raviera for the state Bolognese because they 1406 01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:40,000 walked up the quick service at Levieros. 1407 01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:42,680 Upstanding it is Primo piata it's. 1408 01:03:43,080 --> 01:03:45,000 Nothing like absolutely the best one and. 1409 01:03:45,000 --> 01:03:46,360 We've we've kind of worked out well. 1410 01:03:46,360 --> 01:03:49,760 This is what we say to to our followers as if you're unsure of 1411 01:03:49,760 --> 01:03:52,280 what it sounds like if you go and do a fake mobile order. 1412 01:03:52,280 --> 01:03:54,400 If it's a quick service, you can see the pictures, yeah. 1413 01:03:55,960 --> 01:03:58,200 Yeah, and it's so. Easy to look at and go, no, I'm 1414 01:03:58,200 --> 01:04:00,520 not going to like that or yeah, I think I'll like that rather 1415 01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:04,120 than trying to read obviously some some words or some some 1416 01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:07,320 ingredients in American are it's different to yeah, they don't 1417 01:04:07,320 --> 01:04:09,400 translate as. Like they don't use the same 1418 01:04:09,400 --> 01:04:10,320 the. Same words. 1419 01:04:10,320 --> 01:04:12,880 Yeah. So, yeah, it's so much easier to 1420 01:04:12,880 --> 01:04:14,240 do that. And you can even show the kids 1421 01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:15,680 like, well, you like that and I won't like that. 1422 01:04:15,680 --> 01:04:18,520 Well, yeah, it's not what I like about mobile. 1423 01:04:18,520 --> 01:04:22,120 Order it's that customize support options. 1424 01:04:22,400 --> 01:04:24,840 So it's like, OK, I don't want the cheese on this, so I don't 1425 01:04:24,840 --> 01:04:27,040 want sort of pickle that comes with this. 1426 01:04:27,520 --> 01:04:30,760 It's like, OK, that's an option on there to to choose so you can 1427 01:04:31,200 --> 01:04:33,960 so it's like made to order so it doesn't feel like you're in just 1428 01:04:33,960 --> 01:04:36,240 like a regular place, just going like is the burgers. 1429 01:04:36,240 --> 01:04:38,320 I've been sitting Outback just under a heat lamp. 1430 01:04:38,560 --> 01:04:40,320 It feels like it actually, it's going to. 1431 01:04:40,320 --> 01:04:42,800 It feels like it's going to be. Made fresh, yeah. 1432 01:04:42,960 --> 01:04:45,240 And I. Think what what we like about it 1433 01:04:45,240 --> 01:04:50,120 is when we go to Casey's Corner, we can change the adult meals to 1434 01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:53,160 kids meals because there isn't any kids meals and it just and 1435 01:04:53,160 --> 01:04:55,840 you can save so much money. As well, by going for kids 1436 01:04:55,840 --> 01:04:59,800 meals, we had the kids meal in connections. 1437 01:05:00,920 --> 01:05:03,880 And the kids meal. Was one large slice of pizza 1438 01:05:04,160 --> 01:05:08,320 with two small portions of fries or and a refillable drink and it 1439 01:05:08,320 --> 01:05:11,600 was like we just had one of those to share it was it just 1440 01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:13,960 definitely a great way of. Saving money. 1441 01:05:14,160 --> 01:05:15,320 Yeah, and that's the thing, there are. 1442 01:05:15,400 --> 01:05:17,680 There are ways that you can go and you can splurge, but there's 1443 01:05:17,680 --> 01:05:20,400 also ways that you can go and you can do it as cheap as you 1444 01:05:20,840 --> 01:05:22,920 you can really we we like beating the dining. 1445 01:05:22,920 --> 01:05:25,360 Plan though, yeah, we, we, we like beating the dining when we 1446 01:05:25,360 --> 01:05:26,080 do the dining Plan. We. 1447 01:05:26,200 --> 01:05:27,960 We. Go big or basically go home, 1448 01:05:28,320 --> 01:05:30,080 don't we? Honest thing. 1449 01:05:30,840 --> 01:05:33,400 If you've got the dining plan, you, you've prepaid for it, so 1450 01:05:33,400 --> 01:05:35,360 you want to make the most out of your money. 1451 01:05:35,720 --> 01:05:39,160 We've done the quick service a few times, a few free and 1452 01:05:39,160 --> 01:05:43,480 because we PVC, we pay. We paid for it once just to see 1453 01:05:43,480 --> 01:05:45,520 what it was like because it actually worked out. 1454 01:05:45,880 --> 01:05:49,440 If we had our plan exactly what it was, we will be beating the 1455 01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:52,880 plan for like $50. It just sold for us. 1456 01:05:52,880 --> 01:05:53,880 It made sense. Like why? 1457 01:05:53,920 --> 01:05:56,680 Why would I spend now it's a bit different because we have a car 1458 01:05:56,680 --> 01:06:00,160 and we go off site a bit more. It doesn't make it worth it for 1459 01:06:00,160 --> 01:06:04,360 us anymore. And so it's one of those that 1460 01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:06,760 you need to just, it's really weird. 1461 01:06:06,760 --> 01:06:09,560 It's horrible to say, but it's doing the maths, it's doing that 1462 01:06:09,560 --> 01:06:12,200 working out with whenever someone's booking a holiday 1463 01:06:12,200 --> 01:06:15,640 budget is one of those big things that whether you're going 1464 01:06:15,640 --> 01:06:18,640 this year or whether you save six months to go the following 1465 01:06:18,640 --> 01:06:22,720 year, look at the deals that Disney do and then work out what 1466 01:06:22,720 --> 01:06:26,280 sort of holiday you want. Because some people want a villa 1467 01:06:26,560 --> 01:06:30,840 holiday, some people want to be on site and have food taken care 1468 01:06:30,840 --> 01:06:32,360 of. You know, we thought we were 1469 01:06:32,360 --> 01:06:33,560 going. To fail this year at the dining 1470 01:06:33,560 --> 01:06:35,960 plan though, didn't we? Because Ayla turned 10, so she's 1471 01:06:35,960 --> 01:06:39,040 automatically an adult on the dining plan and obviously 1472 01:06:39,040 --> 01:06:41,960 because she can't get alcohol. It's like, how do we work around 1473 01:06:41,960 --> 01:06:43,000 this? How does that work out your 1474 01:06:43,040 --> 01:06:44,880 hair? And actually, we did we. 1475 01:06:44,880 --> 01:06:47,480 Took in cans of Diet Coke and bottles of water for her and we 1476 01:06:47,480 --> 01:06:51,200 ordered the adult meal with an adult beverage and we just 1477 01:06:51,200 --> 01:06:53,760 shared it. So we've still, we've still got 1478 01:06:53,760 --> 01:06:56,360 it and we got an extra drink. Can't complain, put. 1479 01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:58,200 It in the fridge for lighter yeah, absolutely. 1480 01:06:58,200 --> 01:06:59,520 That's what we. Did, wasn't it? 1481 01:07:00,120 --> 01:07:02,080 Yeah, so. There's ways round it. 1482 01:07:02,080 --> 01:07:04,600 There's ways. Round it and so like no matter 1483 01:07:04,600 --> 01:07:06,680 what what you do, there's there's always ways to beat it 1484 01:07:06,680 --> 01:07:08,360 unless you are having a lot of your time. 1485 01:07:08,520 --> 01:07:11,720 I've always told people, Disney. Can be as expensive as you want 1486 01:07:11,720 --> 01:07:14,520 it to be, but you can also do it as cheap as you want it to be. 1487 01:07:15,320 --> 01:07:18,600 If you want to go and spend two $300 a day in merchandise, you 1488 01:07:18,960 --> 01:07:21,920 can by all means, go and do it. Yeah, if you don't, you could. 1489 01:07:22,280 --> 01:07:26,560 Quite do that easily. Maybe they're doing in back 1490 01:07:26,560 --> 01:07:28,480 bags. Yeah, yeah. 1491 01:07:28,600 --> 01:07:30,080 Yeah, I, I. Get one of. 1492 01:07:30,200 --> 01:07:32,960 Those, I don't know if you see them in America, it's the, the 1493 01:07:32,960 --> 01:07:36,360 little arm bands that the kids get with the, the, the rope on 1494 01:07:36,360 --> 01:07:37,120 it. So they can't. 1495 01:07:37,160 --> 01:07:40,000 Yeah, away from all. The I get one of them whenever 1496 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:41,600 we get into. Disney World just because I'm 1497 01:07:41,600 --> 01:07:43,760 not allowed to go just grab your bag and. 1498 01:07:43,760 --> 01:07:44,920 Pull you away from all the merch? 1499 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:45,400 Don't. I'm not. 1500 01:07:45,760 --> 01:07:46,520 I'm not allowed. I'm. 1501 01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,400 Not allowed. Left unsupervised the last time 1502 01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:50,640 it. Was always easy to just. 1503 01:07:50,920 --> 01:07:52,960 Charge it back to the room. It's like magic band tap. 1504 01:07:53,600 --> 01:07:56,200 Oh, it's free money. You don't keep an. 1505 01:07:56,200 --> 01:07:58,840 Eye on what you're spending. Sometimes you just be careful. 1506 01:07:59,320 --> 01:08:00,600 Yeah, when the last time you were? 1507 01:08:00,600 --> 01:08:03,120 Left unsupervised, you can buy it with two big popcorn buckets, 1508 01:08:03,120 --> 01:08:05,280 not just one. OK. 1509 01:08:05,840 --> 01:08:08,800 Doesn't sound like a bad idea. Depends on the popcorn bucket. 1510 01:08:09,360 --> 01:08:11,440 Depends on this little. Luggage space because they're 1511 01:08:11,440 --> 01:08:13,200 big. Yeah, that. 1512 01:08:13,200 --> 01:08:16,680 Was the that was the Mickey Elf one in Epcot, wasn't it? 1513 01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:18,840 Yeah, there's another one. Oh yeah, I don't. 1514 01:08:18,920 --> 01:08:21,279 Remember that other one? Yeah, no, I think. 1515 01:08:21,279 --> 01:08:23,080 We've finally got 2 popcorn buckets like that. 1516 01:08:23,600 --> 01:08:25,279 So exactly. It's not. 1517 01:08:25,640 --> 01:08:26,880 We're not. Starting popcorn bucket 1518 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,160 connection. No, I'm a zipper and popcorn. 1519 01:08:29,160 --> 01:08:34,200 Bucket fiend I I love a novelty popcorn bucket and zipper like 1520 01:08:34,200 --> 01:08:38,240 the Sanderson Benny zipper is still the crown jewel of 1521 01:08:38,240 --> 01:08:40,040 Michael. To be fair, we those. 1522 01:08:40,040 --> 01:08:42,560 Are our Halloween decorations. We bring them out. 1523 01:08:42,560 --> 01:08:44,760 That Halloween and use them as. Decorations, so they're not, 1524 01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:48,279 they don't sit out all the time. They just, they go away and they 1525 01:08:48,279 --> 01:08:49,880 come out. I would if we could. 1526 01:08:50,880 --> 01:08:52,399 Yeah, if you. Have the space if you What the 1527 01:08:52,399 --> 01:08:54,160 hell? It's yeah, it's it's one of 1528 01:08:54,160 --> 01:08:55,439 those things. I don't have enough room 1529 01:08:55,439 --> 01:08:58,680 boundary but I've got a lot of Lego in the corner left to build 1530 01:08:58,680 --> 01:09:01,760 and it's like it's all my leg. Unfortunately is upstairs in 1531 01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:04,640 boxes because someone doesn't allow me to have it out and 1532 01:09:04,640 --> 01:09:07,160 about. Not pointing any fingers, I'm 1533 01:09:07,160 --> 01:09:09,520 just they painted. They painted the castle back 1534 01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:13,080 because now my castle matches the cover that was like so. 1535 01:09:13,279 --> 01:09:14,720 You built that castle, didn't you? 1536 01:09:14,960 --> 01:09:17,120 The first one, because we've got, we've got the two of them. 1537 01:09:17,240 --> 01:09:19,439 We've got the 1st, yeah, haven't we? 1538 01:09:19,439 --> 01:09:21,760 You built the first one. You finished it after about 1539 01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:24,080 what, 2 weeks? You lifted it and dropped it. 1540 01:09:24,080 --> 01:09:25,560 It didn't take me two weeks to build. 1541 01:09:25,560 --> 01:09:27,760 It that makes that makes me look so bad. 1542 01:09:27,800 --> 01:09:30,560 No, no, But it wasn't every. Night what I mean and like you 1543 01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:32,840 were working in between, you weren't just constantly building 1544 01:09:32,840 --> 01:09:35,520 it and I was trying to do Orla. Yeah, but he. 1545 01:09:35,520 --> 01:09:37,760 Lifted it to move it from the table he's building onto the 1546 01:09:37,760 --> 01:09:40,479 other table and dropped it. It's the only Lego set ever. 1547 01:09:40,479 --> 01:09:42,840 Dropped in my life that that one. 1548 01:09:42,840 --> 01:09:46,520 Has. Been rebuilt 3 times with. 1549 01:09:46,520 --> 01:09:48,960 A Disney canvas. Once before in nine year old 1550 01:09:48,960 --> 01:09:53,960 house and just out blue fell down on top of it and just Lego 1551 01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:57,720 all on the floor. And so I think I've got a 1552 01:09:57,720 --> 01:09:59,760 picture, so I might have to put that up in our Facebook 1553 01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:03,320 community at some point just to see what people think of that. 1554 01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:07,880 And then when we moved house, yeah. 1555 01:10:07,880 --> 01:10:10,280 And then I gave it to you with Bitbubble wrap and I just heard 1556 01:10:10,280 --> 01:10:14,440 like the noise of Lego crunching that's just falling apart and 1557 01:10:14,440 --> 01:10:16,400 not going back. So that eventually got put back 1558 01:10:16,400 --> 01:10:19,760 together and it's just what 1 was it I put? 1559 01:10:19,760 --> 01:10:21,680 In the front seat, the seat belt on it when we moved. 1560 01:10:21,920 --> 01:10:25,040 Was it the Cinderella Castle? It was the castle I put it in. 1561 01:10:25,040 --> 01:10:26,600 The front seat of the car and. Put a seat belt around. 1562 01:10:26,600 --> 01:10:27,960 It was a castle they transported. 1563 01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:29,560 I don't know what castle. It was one of the castles. 1564 01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:32,280 Or later, the youngest. She's what, 8? 1565 01:10:32,280 --> 01:10:33,880 And she's right into her Lego just now. 1566 01:10:33,880 --> 01:10:36,520 She builds so many sets, doesn't she? 1567 01:10:36,520 --> 01:10:38,560 She's so good, Snow White. Cottage. 1568 01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:41,600 Yeah, Which is the most beautiful Lego set I have ever 1569 01:10:41,600 --> 01:10:43,760 laid my eyes on. Yeah, no, it's gorgeous, but. 1570 01:10:43,760 --> 01:10:46,880 She's she's very much interested in videoing it for YouTube. 1571 01:10:46,880 --> 01:10:49,600 So we do time lapse and then she dropped the iPad in the bath. 1572 01:10:49,600 --> 01:10:51,560 Then shame we lost all the footage. 1573 01:10:53,120 --> 01:10:57,000 Oh, so the iPad went for a swim. But she's, she's quite, she's 1574 01:10:57,000 --> 01:10:59,480 delighted with her home alone house because that's she thinks 1575 01:10:59,480 --> 01:11:02,520 she's got something like 5500 views or something on YouTube. 1576 01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:04,880 And she's like every every other week she's like, let me see my 1577 01:11:04,880 --> 01:11:06,520 views now. Let me see my views now. 1578 01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:09,480 If you. If you. 1579 01:11:09,960 --> 01:11:12,240 If you don't have it, I'd recommend getting the the Snow 1580 01:11:12,240 --> 01:11:14,360 White House. It's the most beautiful Lego set 1581 01:11:14,360 --> 01:11:16,320 ever. Our next one's a Dalmatian. 1582 01:11:16,320 --> 01:11:18,760 That she's going to build. I've seen that one that looks. 1583 01:11:18,760 --> 01:11:20,640 Really good. The only way I. 1584 01:11:20,680 --> 01:11:22,400 Would get a pet in here I think is Lego. 1585 01:11:24,920 --> 01:11:26,880 There are so. Many and I I love the 1586 01:11:26,880 --> 01:11:29,720 collaboration in Disney and Lego and Star Wars as well. 1587 01:11:29,720 --> 01:11:32,160 And so many. Different. 1588 01:11:32,400 --> 01:11:35,480 Ways I just keep seeing scholars who ticked off Instagram. 1589 01:11:35,480 --> 01:11:36,960 They're like all new sets that are out. 1590 01:11:36,960 --> 01:11:39,600 And I'm a big Formula One fan, so there's been a lot of Formula 1591 01:11:39,600 --> 01:11:43,040 One merchandise past year and I started to do sort of drivers 1592 01:11:43,040 --> 01:11:45,200 helmets and I'm like, OK, I don't have room for these 1593 01:11:45,200 --> 01:11:46,520 Bibles. I'm going to end up with another 1594 01:11:46,520 --> 01:11:51,520 collection. The camera behind your head 1595 01:11:51,520 --> 01:11:55,280 there, that's one of my favorite sets, so it was one of it. 1596 01:11:55,280 --> 01:11:58,560 Surprised me how cheap it was when it got announced there was 1597 01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,520 like 85 or 95 lbs. It's really surprised. 1598 01:12:01,520 --> 01:12:04,000 I love, especially with the film at the end. 1599 01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:07,040 Yep, Yep, Yep, she loved. And the little and the little. 1600 01:12:07,040 --> 01:12:09,400 Multiplying camera that comes with I've mentioned multiplying 1601 01:12:09,400 --> 01:12:15,080 camera a lot, yeah, but some modern marvel she she just. 1602 01:12:15,080 --> 01:12:16,960 Loves doing it. There was one set she get really 1603 01:12:16,960 --> 01:12:19,800 frustrated with what 1 Was that the the riverboat? 1604 01:12:20,480 --> 01:12:22,880 I planned and doing. I don't know if you've seen it, 1605 01:12:22,880 --> 01:12:27,040 but it was the kind of Steamboat riverboat set I've seen on 1606 01:12:27,040 --> 01:12:28,920 Instagram. Someone had converted it to the 1607 01:12:28,920 --> 01:12:31,120 riverboat that confirmed at the end of Fantasmic with all the 1608 01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:32,720 characters on it. Oh, I love that. 1609 01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:34,520 So we have. This. 1610 01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:37,000 Plan in my head right or low about that and then we'll 1611 01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:40,680 transform into the fantasmic. But she gets so bored of it. 1612 01:12:41,120 --> 01:12:44,680 It was so technical insights, so don't think it was like she. 1613 01:12:44,680 --> 01:12:48,520 Likes sets that she can see happen quickly and see how it's. 1614 01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:51,440 Developing from some, there are some bits where you put together 1615 01:12:51,440 --> 01:12:53,360 it's like, how does that go to that? 1616 01:12:53,360 --> 01:12:54,800 But it doesn't. And then you just, you have to 1617 01:12:54,800 --> 01:12:58,560 go through the motions for it. It just it wasn't happening 1618 01:12:58,560 --> 01:12:59,280 quick enough for. Her. 1619 01:12:59,280 --> 01:13:00,840 I think she'd just get bored with it, doesn't she? 1620 01:13:00,840 --> 01:13:02,280 I think her favorite one she did was Jack. 1621 01:13:02,280 --> 01:13:04,800 And Sally, yeah, she liked that one. 1622 01:13:04,800 --> 01:13:07,240 She didn't. Like the stitch build she's got 1623 01:13:07,240 --> 01:13:09,280 the the stitch. She did not like that. 1624 01:13:09,600 --> 01:13:11,560 She got fed up with that one, didn't she? 1625 01:13:11,560 --> 01:13:14,440 Even I didn't enjoy finishing. That I don't know what it was 1626 01:13:14,440 --> 01:13:16,960 with that build, but there's no many Lego builds that I've said 1627 01:13:16,960 --> 01:13:20,000 that I haven't enjoyed. And do you remember much like 1628 01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:21,680 what I've got upstairs?

And what a lot of people don't 1666 01:15:06,080 --> 01:15:09,000 realize as and actually someone that I used to work with contact 1667 01:15:09,000 --> 01:15:11,320 me and she was a little bit hesitant to let me help her. 1668 01:15:11,600 --> 01:15:13,760 We don't charge anything for what we do. 1669 01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:16,680 We, we planned people's holidays. 1670 01:15:16,680 --> 01:15:19,800 We booked the dining forum 60 days out because Ashley's 1671 01:15:19,800 --> 01:15:23,680 already touched this morning this this evening that you know 1672 01:15:23,880 --> 01:15:27,760 she booked what 9/12/12 families families tickets today for the. 1673 01:15:27,760 --> 01:15:30,480 Party yeah, so we we do this just. 1674 01:15:30,480 --> 01:15:32,880 For, well, I do it. As a former cast member, I know 1675 01:15:32,880 --> 01:15:36,440 how difficult this holiday can be if you don't plan it well 1676 01:15:36,440 --> 01:15:39,160 enough or, you know, in the thought of someone going to 1677 01:15:39,160 --> 01:15:41,920 Disney World but not enjoying it makes me feel sick. 1678 01:15:42,040 --> 01:15:44,080 I, I just, I can't have that in my conscience. 1679 01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:47,840 So I think we've all been. There when we've had a trip and 1680 01:15:47,840 --> 01:15:50,080 like we haven't planned our our honeymoon is like we got the 1681 01:15:50,080 --> 01:15:52,040 tickets. We didn't think about anywhere. 1682 01:15:52,040 --> 01:15:53,880 It's like when we walked into a few restaurants, like have you 1683 01:15:53,880 --> 01:15:56,120 got dining reservations? Like what's a dining 1684 01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:57,720 reservation? No one needed one. 1685 01:15:57,720 --> 01:16:00,760 And it's that sort you just you don't think about it. 1686 01:16:00,760 --> 01:16:02,440 I mean, to be fair, we were a bit. 1687 01:16:02,480 --> 01:16:04,320 Planning the wedding that is true. 1688 01:16:04,320 --> 01:16:05,200 It was a. Honeymoon. 1689 01:16:05,200 --> 01:16:08,920 So it does happen, but it's one of those things actually, 1690 01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:11,720 because Disney can be a minefield, especially when we 1691 01:16:11,720 --> 01:16:15,920 spoke about like Lightning Lane and booking tickets and how many 1692 01:16:15,920 --> 01:16:18,440 sons over the year. You now need AVPN to connect to 1693 01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,040 sort of tickets and all of this sort of thing. 1694 01:16:21,400 --> 01:16:24,400 Sometimes it's easier to hand it over to someone who who can do 1695 01:16:24,400 --> 01:16:25,600 it for you. Yeah. 1696 01:16:25,600 --> 01:16:27,760 And I think it's because. We, we are so familiar with the 1697 01:16:27,760 --> 01:16:30,160 app and the website. It's just, it's so easy for us 1698 01:16:30,160 --> 01:16:33,320 to do it just really quick. Generally we do. 1699 01:16:33,320 --> 01:16:35,800 It just out the goodness of our hearts, you know, just test a 1700 01:16:35,800 --> 01:16:37,640 hobby just to help. People as much. 1701 01:16:37,640 --> 01:16:41,320 As we can, and you know, it's a great sense of community. 1702 01:16:41,880 --> 01:16:44,280 Well, definitely, definitely. And I think that's what we've. 1703 01:16:44,280 --> 01:16:48,240 Found since doing our podcast for several years and during 1704 01:16:48,240 --> 01:16:50,640 COVID, there was times where we all couldn't get back to the 1705 01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:52,360 parks. But we've met so many friends in 1706 01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:55,720 in Florida and and many times our Disney trips. 1707 01:16:55,720 --> 01:16:59,120 Now we get to a point where it's like we're we're meeting so many 1708 01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,520 people throughout them. So we're not just having just 1709 01:17:02,520 --> 01:17:05,480 going there for just obviously going there for a lovely 1710 01:17:05,480 --> 01:17:09,400 holiday, but it's nice to catch up with sort of friends and the 1711 01:17:09,400 --> 01:17:11,520 TuneIn some show. I've got a really good friend. 1712 01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:16,040 That works in August Cantina that I worked with there, yeah, 1713 01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:18,400 she's still working on her, so it's always a joy to see her 1714 01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,800 when we go and stuff like that. So yeah, we've got friends over 1715 01:17:20,800 --> 01:17:22,680 there that we meet up with often. 1716 01:17:22,680 --> 01:17:24,800 So yeah, yeah. Completely understand what you 1717 01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:25,440 mean by that. Yeah. 1718 01:17:25,440 --> 01:17:27,720 It's always good to go and see.
