[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, and welcome to very amusing.
[SPEAKER_03]: Your one-stop shop for the story secrets and shenanigans of a popcorn fueled theme park journalist.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm Carly Waisal and I am pretty sure I'm the only person in the entire world who has an appointment with an ENT today because they don't feel like they can, hello with the same Gusto that they used to.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now today was pretty good, also Gusto that they used to is, ooh, feels like a bumper sticker.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, today it felt like I hit the hello pretty well, and that's always how it is, isn't it?
[SPEAKER_03]: Isn't it this something's wrong?
[SPEAKER_03]: And then you make an appointment and you're like actually I don't need it every time I make a her appointment a week out from it I'm like, wait, why does my hair looks so good?
[SPEAKER_03]: I actually usually go through with it and I'm like, well It'll be fine and then I get it my hair color.
[SPEAKER_03]: I get my hair cut and then I do not like it as much as I did before the appointment This time I cancel my appointment like oh we can have an advance.
[SPEAKER_03]: I was like, you know what?
[SPEAKER_03]: I know what's gonna happen and I cancel it now.
[SPEAKER_03]: He's been quite happy
[SPEAKER_03]: With my hair, but today I am going to the end to you because I really want to make sure my voice is solved because Strangely, I use my voice for my job and that's I'm in my brain.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am writer, but I guess I am speaker as job.
[SPEAKER_03]: So every time I talk about what I do, I always, I know I say this a lot, but I sound like like in the barbie movie when it's like, I do beach or whatever.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like that's That's how I feel.
[SPEAKER_03]: I guess I do resonate.
[SPEAKER_03]: I do feel we're connected to kin than I do with Barbie.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now this week we have a banger of an episode.
[SPEAKER_03]: I did this interview in December.
[SPEAKER_03]: You're gonna hear all about it I don't want to talk so much about it because you're gonna hear about it in just a minute But I got to speak Jenny Weinblum one of the coolest Executives at the Walt Disney Company truly.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just want to be best friends with her I think she is so rad and such a talent and a genius and I'm so excited that I'm able to have her on the show So you can hear exactly what I'm talking about like
[SPEAKER_03]: easiest interview in my life.
[SPEAKER_03]: Just like letting Jenny cook.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just I sit there like I'm just like oh wow She's like listening to every word and hanging on every word she says she's wonderful You will love this episode now this episode is coming out if you were listening to this when it's coming out Sadly one of us is probably going to apply whenever you listen to it because that's just how the past will you?
[SPEAKER_03]: years have gone, I don't want to receive this episode without acknowledging that there is a lot happening in our world right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: I know that people listen to this podcast with folks of all years of all ages listening in, so I will be very vague.
[SPEAKER_03]: But I just want to let you know that it is a hard time.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it's not supposed to be like this, and it's really bad.
[SPEAKER_03]: But we have each other, and together we, I believe, can work.
[SPEAKER_03]: works together and work forward, push forward to a better version of the society in like the wee live in because a lot of us can't handle what's going on anymore and it just simply cannot be happening.
[SPEAKER_03]: So just that true call energy and call your reps.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm going to do that right after I do this podcast and yeah, I'd also don't like picking up the phone but we have changed for this.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have trained for this day and it is very important that we speak with the
[SPEAKER_03]: That aside, I am so excited for this week's episode.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope you love it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope it like brings you back to the like dreamy like Ooh Disney Cruise line mental space, which I am currently in because Me and that evoked another Disney cruise because I can't at stay away.
[SPEAKER_03]: I cannot stay away to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is like What if you're just floating on a dream hotel and goofy's there and they also have all your favorite foods and it's just chill That's what it is, and I'm so excited to go back more details than that soon, but we're not gonna talk about this except as I will talk about it
[SPEAKER_03]: You jerk, but if you are coming to a music polluse that it is very, very soon, everything is coming together.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm so excited.
[SPEAKER_03]: And if you are not, stay tuned to my social media because we will be doing a giveaway for people who cannot go.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am still feeling very guilty about the fact that not everyone is able to be there this year.
[SPEAKER_03]: So there will be a really good giveaway and it cannot wait for it.
[SPEAKER_03]: Stick around.
[SPEAKER_03]: We have truly a great episode for you and I'm so excited.
[SPEAKER_03]: Love you all.
[SPEAKER_03]: Talk to you momentarily.
[SPEAKER_03]: Welcome back.
[SPEAKER_03]: This week, we are speaking with Jenny Weinblum, Vice President Live Entertainment, Disney Signature experiences, which is just a big ol' LinkedIn corporate title for a Jenny knows so much about what makes theater and immersion and experiences good, and we now all get to benefit from that because she works at Disney.
[SPEAKER_03]: This interview really feels like peeking behind the curtain of how Disney cruise lines creative team and entertainment team decide on what experiences to bring us.
[SPEAKER_03]: And you will be... GED!
[SPEAKER_03]: When you learn where they held their first charrette, which is a fancy Disney term for basically a big blue sky creative meeting.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because wow, wow, everything makes so much more sense now.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got so excited that I just hit the microphone in case you heard a change in audio.
[SPEAKER_03]: This episode happened because I made Jenny on the Disney treasure quite randomly and I was like oh you could not be any cooler like you you get it you get what the audiences want from Disney live entertainment
[SPEAKER_03]: And we ended up staying in contact.
[SPEAKER_03]: And then knowing she was working on some special stuff with the Disney Destiny, I was like, we have to get you on the podcast.
[SPEAKER_03]: And on board that sailing on the Destiny, it finally happened.
[SPEAKER_03]: We were able to record this episode in the Hercules Royal Suite aboard that ship during its inaugural sailing, pretty cool, I may add, but even cooler than the location was what we were able to discuss because what blew me away about Jenny
[SPEAKER_03]: because, you know, she helped create, sleep no more, no big deal, no big deal, just helped create one of the most important, immersive, theater experiences of our lifetime.
[SPEAKER_03]: Doesn't everything that happened on the Disney Destiny make a little more sense now, but what was me is that Jenny spends her time all of her time.
[SPEAKER_03]: helping craft and hone all of these experiences for us, but is also a parent, a mom whose child has joined her on board these ships for long periods of time while she's working, and that just blew my mind.
[SPEAKER_03]: To be on board a ship, working mothering parenting, producing, leading, I don't know how she did it all, and I had to find out, and we were thankfully able to discuss it.
[SPEAKER_03]: We talk about that in so much more, but really, I'm just so excited we were able to chat professionally, because if you remember from our Disney Destiny episode a few weeks back, never before have immersive theater tenants been brought on board a Disney ship, and her talking about her team pushing boundaries is so cool!
[SPEAKER_03]: Now that we know what all of that resulted in!
[SPEAKER_03]: We have her and her team's perspective to thank for all of the new experiences we're getting on Disney Destiny, and it makes me so excited for the future of Disney Cruise Line, especially since so many ships are to come in the next few years.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now in this interview, we aren't erupted by the funniest interruption of all time, you will see what I mean, it's
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just the way our lives work.
[SPEAKER_03]: To refresh your memory on the offerings on Disney Destiny which we will discuss in this episode, Treblemakers is the Cruella Divill songwriting in Spirience inside Divill's piano lounge, with great power, which I believe we will discuss in the second half of this interview, one of my highlights of the sailing in case you forgot, was the Marvel comedy show, I guess you described it as, it was like a late night Marvel show that I could not stop laughing at.
[SPEAKER_03]: I raved about that episode.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was so good!
[SPEAKER_03]: Ziya and Gamble are the storytellers and hosts of these experiences on board, and remember that very special Dr. Faciliate Parlor meet and greet experience, which happens inside that Disney studio, that is gonna come full circle.
[SPEAKER_03]: This interview truly feels like a secret D23 panel that only we are invited to, and I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, without further ado, here's Jenny.
[SPEAKER_04]: Jennie, welcome to very amusing.
[SPEAKER_04]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_04]: I'm so thrilled to be here.
[SPEAKER_04]: How's all you've been working on this?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh, well, so the team has been working on the Disney Destiny and Hercules in particular for about four years.
[SPEAKER_04]: Four years?
[SPEAKER_04]: Uh-huh.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a long development pipeline.
[SPEAKER_01]: It really shows.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, this is your high school graduation.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Congratulations to all of us.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're adults now.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I had it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, bananas.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, for about four-year process.
[SPEAKER_01]: But I have not been here for this whole time.
[SPEAKER_01]: I joined the Walt Disney Company two years ago.
[SPEAKER_01]: You have done all of this in two years, two years.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because you have, you've touched multiple ships.
[SPEAKER_01]: I haven't did indeed.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the treasure was my first new build, but the destiny has been a place where I've been living pretty extensively as it's coming on board.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then of course there's the adventure and the rest of the fleet.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I want it to be like, tell me more about how you live on a cruise ship.
[SPEAKER_03]: But you fully live on a cruise ship.
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of live on a cruise ship.
[SPEAKER_01]: I live on many cruise ships.
[SPEAKER_01]: So at least there's that.
[SPEAKER_01]: I bounce from ship to ship, which is exciting.
[SPEAKER_02]: Oh my gosh.
[SPEAKER_02]: And for you, like, I just feel like I have to, I don't think you would be able to live on a cruise ship to be clear.
[SPEAKER_01]: No, I mean, we got a cruise ship.
[SPEAKER_01]: Dude, they literally live on the cruise ships.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I want to acknowledge, there are people who really do that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly.
[SPEAKER_01]: Excensively.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yes, I guess.
[SPEAKER_05]: What you've accomplished with the ship
[SPEAKER_05]: Loki crazy, like I can't believe how many small immersive experiences there are with these gigantic shows.
[SPEAKER_05]: There's so many options for people to really experience Disney in a way they can't elsewhere.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm you're at how, how did you bring that's the table and really push that through to offer something that Disney cries like us have never seen before?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, so I'll admit when I came into this role, I had never sailed on a this day cruise.
[SPEAKER_01]: Disney Cruise Line was not that much on my radar.
[SPEAKER_01]: I grew up going to the parks extensively, but you're in Yorker, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Originally in the original way.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, so I'm in the native New Yorker and I grew up going to theater always and also grew up going to Walt Disney World.
[SPEAKER_01]: But because we were New York theater people, we didn't see it.
[UNKNOWN]: Okay.
[UNKNOWN]: I'm not a perfect person.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold
[SPEAKER_02]: this look like wow that's really it's like a lot of it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm sorry for the interaction.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is the horn so fun.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so good.
[SPEAKER_01]: The Hercules representation.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's the best.
[SPEAKER_01]: The best.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, we're hardcore living in her.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's heaven.
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, you were saying, Hercules in New York.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: So group going to Disney parks, but because we were theater people, we didn't seek out the light entertainment in our parks as much because the novelty for us was our churches.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what we get to have in our duelegs,
[SPEAKER_01]: So I, but I did grow up with the nighttime spectaculars, and I, I mean, for me, my, my origin story, essentially is elimination's reflections of Earth.
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, seeing elimination's reflections of Earth at Epcot when I was 11 years old blew my mind and just changed my perception of what is possible in theater, because I instantly clocked it as theater.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, well, wait, wait, wait, Peter doesn't have to involve singing.
[SPEAKER_01]: It doesn't have to involve speaking or humans.
[SPEAKER_01]: Peter can be completely abstract and obut guard.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it got me interested in dance and puppetry and experimental theater and all these kinds of forms of art that one maybe wouldn't guess.
[SPEAKER_01]: I would have come to because of Disney.
[SPEAKER_01]: But then that journey kind of brought me full circle right back to here.
[SPEAKER_01]: But Cruise Line was never on my ranger.
[SPEAKER_01]: I was totally a parks kid.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_01]: And when I got plopped into the world of Disney Cruise Line two years ago enthusiastically.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, I immediately recognized that Cruise Line offers a really unique opportunity for storytelling.
[SPEAKER_01]: Obviously,
[SPEAKER_01]: at all of our experiences worldwide, we have ranges of experiences from the intimate to the spectacular.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, the character, meet and greet is the smallest, the most intimate form of feeder, there is, and as we said, a nice hair spectacular is either as well on its largest and most grand scale.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that scale is somewhat compressed on the cruise line.
[SPEAKER_01]: The grand does it get quite as grand.
[SPEAKER_01]: We live more in the human here, which is exciting.
[SPEAKER_01]: And something I love about Disney Cruise Line that feels totally unique for our sites worldwide is, one, by orders of magnitude, we have far fewer guests on board these ships than we do in the parks.
[SPEAKER_01]: So there's a feeling of intimacy here that it unique to the site.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then we also have these guests as essentially a captive audience for multiple days.
[SPEAKER_01]: Over the course of four or five, seven days together, we get to really build a relationship.
[SPEAKER_01]: And Tissie Cruise Line has always been really successful at that from a crew standpoint.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, you really built the relationship with your server, with your state-room host.
[SPEAKER_01]: But what feels a little new from an entertainment standpoint is saying, so what if we built a relationship like that with a character?
[SPEAKER_01]: What if we built that relationship with the story experience that can be durational over the course of your entire cruise at cruise line because of the intimacy and because of the extended period of time you don't only see the characters they see you and they get to respond to you and build a relationship with you.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm a big believer in Peter that rewards keeping engagement where they can hurry
[SPEAKER_01]: The harder you play, the more it gives you, it's incredibly exciting.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so the destiny, these were all kind of principles that thrilled me when I first came into this role, and intentions set into place as we were developing the treasure.
[SPEAKER_01]: but really the destiny has been the place where we've really been able to take those principles and bring them into action, because this heroes and villains motif is the perfect invitation to really play with sleeping agent.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, it seems like it's set you up for success, basically, to offer these things like Dr. Facilier's Parler, which I still can't believe I was in a room with nine people.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_04]: When are you ever on a Disney Christmas dayling and experience something with just that few people?
[SPEAKER_04]: mind-blowing, but then you also will excale it up a little with treble makers, and then you're all working together, which, you know, having a bunch of people participate together is something that happens on other Disney cruise line shifts, but not like this.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Something we really love is, or something I'm really proud of from our creative team, it would have been really easy for the team to have created one show that was a template.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then said, right, there's the
[SPEAKER_01]: But instead, we really pushed ourselves and said, each of these villains are distinct.
[SPEAKER_01]: They all have their own identity, their own style, and they need their own storytelling methodology, their own medium in which to tell their story.
[SPEAKER_01]: So, whether it's under her spell, with Maleficent, officially as parlor, trouble making, or actually run away, they're all totally different from one another, totally different ways to play with the villain.
[SPEAKER_01]: And what I'd love to is how imagine you're and gave us like the greatest prompt ever with this heroism villains motif is villains aren't hugable the way that are bad five and our princesses are.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm loving because I saw him then the libous in and under her saw and was like oh you're scary.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's right.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't want it just to arm around them and take the picture.
[SPEAKER_01]: We want to be drawn in by them, right there a mysterious third-by-guiling, they're engaging, they're unnerving.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love, so with the villains, we really gave ourselves the task of, let's think about these encounters, less as,
[SPEAKER_01]: classical meat and fruits.
[SPEAKER_01]: And more about wheat little thrill rides, which is to say we're being drawn in to an experience that we know is going to be fallen, but maybe makes our tummy turn a little, maybe makes us a little bit nervous.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's exciting.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's a story.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'm happy to have it in all of that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the facilities, parlor.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love watching people walk out because they walk out with the church giggles.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just like, what just happened?
[SPEAKER_01]: What was that?
[SPEAKER_01]: And that's
[SPEAKER_01]: I love watching guest share stories with each other going, oh my god, did you experience this, did you experience that?
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, I was part of the producing team of sleep no more in New York, and so my roots are in that kind of immersive theater.
[SPEAKER_01]: I took me all woke for a long time, and those kinds of experiences, very much leverage, a feeling of,
[SPEAKER_01]: We all, the audience split up and did different things from what another and you're going to want to meet up with the bar afterwards.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, what did you do?
[SPEAKER_01]: What did you see?
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I did something totally different and I think we've done a really lovely job here on the destiny.
[SPEAKER_01]: creating that feeling of there's just so much to do and it's also unique and it's going to be different every time because there's that guess interactive element.
[SPEAKER_01]: So you're going to want to talk with your friends about like your trouble making.
[SPEAKER_01]: I want to hear the song you guys wrote.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, Dan, it's going to be different from the song that they wrote when I was there.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's so interesting to especially because it's the 7th ship, like, a lot of people who have done Disney cruise line before are kind of like, oh, it's another one.
[SPEAKER_05]: When makes it different, and what makes it different is so beyond what I expect it.
[SPEAKER_05]: I expect it, you know, cruel at a walk in and joke around with people in the leaf.
[SPEAKER_05]: I expect it kind of like a dialed up character interaction.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: I didn't expect a scaled down full theatrical immersion, and that's what happened.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's really exciting.
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, I, I, I,
[SPEAKER_01]: crediting, we look credible backwells on a team, I into it knowledge as well, where I shared mine, but Jen Bascom, who's the creative director for our shipwine into a team on the ship, it's her first time as a creative director with Disney, which is wild, but she was resin director on glass, black and star crews are.
[SPEAKER_01]: So we have a team that's pulling from a really diverse playbook of different kinds of story experiences.
[SPEAKER_01]: And you know, an interesting thing about,
[SPEAKER_01]: the relationship between Disney Cruise Line and Galactic Star Cruiser, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Is the Star Cruiser was, of course, in world and story, it was a cruise ship.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it was built on the model of what happens on a cruise ship.
[SPEAKER_01]: What's the pacing of the day on a cruise ship?
[SPEAKER_01]: And so there's this kind of beautiful, full-circle moment where the star cruiser learned from the cruise line, the cruise lines are in from the star cruiser.
[SPEAKER_01]: We get to keep on tele-stories and new and exciting ways, building on all of the amazing experiences the stories are colleagues have created, too.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's just, there's things on the ship that I didn't expect truly.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like honestly, I didn't think I could get approved.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like I can't believe that the Disney Studios being used is like a character experience space.
[SPEAKER_04]: There's things that I just never, I was like, that could help it.
[SPEAKER_05]: You know, it's fascinated.
[SPEAKER_01]: Something that's been so rewarding about this project specifically and just this kind of moment that we're living in into the life and to tame it.
[SPEAKER_01]: If I think there's a lot of things where
[SPEAKER_01]: I think even our own team has had that feeling.
[SPEAKER_01]: I kind of can't believe we're doing this.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think we have those giggles quite a lot more.
[SPEAKER_01]: Hurts like, can you believe this?
[SPEAKER_01]: Can you believe we've made this happen?
[SPEAKER_01]: And I feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to come into this organization as a senior leader.
[SPEAKER_01]: Because I have to wonder, would my perspective of what's possible be different if I grew up within this organization and had already experienced an entire career of learning where the rails are?
[SPEAKER_01]: Instead, I'm learning where the rails are from the perspective of the vice president, going, hey, have we ever tried this?
[SPEAKER_01]: What if we tried this?
[SPEAKER_01]: What if we brought this storytelling methodology that I learned in the DIY world and brought it into this giant corporate space that might have a role to play here?
[SPEAKER_01]: What if we brought this collaborator in?
[SPEAKER_01]: Who is it the obvious person?
[SPEAKER_01]: What if we did things differently, and I'll be honest, half the time, I don't even know that it's different.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just the way that it's an ethos and a way of working that comes out of a career built in similar but different environments.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think what's been really special is when that perspective collides with the incredible institutional brilliance
[SPEAKER_01]: of, I don't know, what if we did.dot.dot combined with decades of, we know how to do anything and everything.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
[SPEAKER_01]: Has led to some incredible innovation that we're really proud of.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's absolutely fascinating what you pulled up on a ship.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's fantastic.
[SPEAKER_01]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're happy to have fun.
[SPEAKER_02]: It's so good.
[SPEAKER_05]: I do want to talk about New, though, because I am just so enamored by you and your entire career and the fact that you temporarily lived on a cruise ship with your family.
[SPEAKER_01]: By calling Joe Rans, sets me the other day, he was like, you know, Susan Eiken might be the godparent of the Disney Destiny, but Julian is the godchild, which isn't just the which I love.
[SPEAKER_05]: Surely there needs to be like a baby angel version paid did somewhere like in areas I'm just wow and you would tell you but you found the sale with pearl, right?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, but for a few days.
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean it's like pearl obviously has to become a pearl cast away Remember I it's the name come on.
[SPEAKER_05]: It is what her name begots.
[SPEAKER_05]: She needs to me.
[SPEAKER_05]: I'll be really glad now that I know
[SPEAKER_05]: But don't tell me what it's been like juggling, parenthood, and working, especially when you're living inside the environment that you work it.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it's wild.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I love it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love it.
[SPEAKER_01]: So I started this job when Julian was nine months old, still nursing, all of that.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're like relocating to Orlando from New York, which is a
[SPEAKER_01]: while in the midst of the giant transformation of entering new parenthood.
[SPEAKER_01]: So that was a wild ride and if you like that whole kind of those kind of first months are like a dream.
[SPEAKER_01]: but being at cruise line as a relatively new parent has been an unbelievable experience for me.
[SPEAKER_01]: Among my many DIY roots, I'm on the board of a theater called the Double Edge Theater in Western Massachusetts, super experimental, that is where the company lives communally on the farm where they create work.
[SPEAKER_01]: And since I was 18 years old, I spend a lot of time there training and Korean got to work with them.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was there this past summer because when I take vacations, I go on vacation to go make theater, obviously.
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's take a look at it.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm thinking of theater making vacation.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I was sitting and having dinner with this company of artists.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we were all there with our kids and our spouses.
[SPEAKER_01]: But we'd all spent 12 hours in rehearsal together that day.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I realized, oh my God, this is DCL.
[SPEAKER_01]: This is this thing that I've loved since I was 18, this idea of artists who come together and create together.
[SPEAKER_01]: alongside their families with the ability to be seen as an artist, as a leader, and as parent all at once that I've been able to carry that into my career here because here it, like when we're on these transatlantic crossings,
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, my family joins me.
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm so incredibly fortunate to have that opportunity to be able to have them join me at sea and so many of my colleagues, their families join them as well.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we're all living together here on board for months at a time.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we all know each other's spouses, kids, parents, we are all really connected with each other's lives.
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's a degree of, and you know this, when you have a toddler or a baby,
[SPEAKER_01]: you um it's like having a really really cute dog which you also have where you can never be invisible because everyone sees that dog and they're going to eventually look up and like oh and you're here too and similarly you know when Julian is kind of running around being his you know energetic
[SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't hide if I wanted to.
[SPEAKER_01]: My team, my colleagues, they meet the real me every single day, both because of who I am as an artist and as a leader, but also because I'm a parent.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I might be, you know, we'll be at an open rehearsal on the deck stage where there's no controlling the fact that kids are going to run into the rehearsal.
[SPEAKER_01]: And my kid is going to run over and grab my leg while I'm giving notes to the Korean of director.
[SPEAKER_01]: Or maybe I pick him up and he's going to start kind of licking my cheek while I'm talking to somebody.
[SPEAKER_01]: And it's just a degree of, I am seen, even if I wasn't sure I wanted to be.
[SPEAKER_01]: I am.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think, not to but to find a point on it, I think it creates an invitation, honestly, when you work in a culture where we can't put the mask on, even if we tried, because day in and day out, we're gonna eat our meals together, we wake up in the morning, we eat our meals together, we go make theater together, and then we wake up the next day, we do it all over again, whether we're tired, whether we're grouchy, whether we're not feeling well, whatever the thing is,
[SPEAKER_01]: We have to show every day as our full and authentic selves.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that means we are a team that is highly empathetic to one another.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's aware of one another's needs as humans and individuals and takes care of one another as a community.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think our our creativity is better for it because we're not
[SPEAKER_01]: masking our wild artistic selves behind a prescribed idea of what it looks like to be a leader.
[SPEAKER_01]: It seemed like there's no code switching because you're just, you got it.
[SPEAKER_01]: You are parents and you are executive at the same time always.
[SPEAKER_01]: Exactly right, exactly right.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we all just know each other fully and so the work we create is all the wilder and more dynamic and more exciting
[SPEAKER_05]: I mean, what do you need got opportunity to, especially being in Bellevue Disney Cruise Line, where you are, you have audiences that are adults only, and that also you're dealing with families, and that you're coming to both perspectives all the time?
[SPEAKER_01]: Absolutely.
[SPEAKER_01]: Also, I love this about Disney Cruise Line.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love that Disney Cruise Line has always built
[SPEAKER_01]: It's I did to the on the notion of play together play a part right you know you're going to have your family experience at pirate night and then mom and dad are going to go to Apollo and your little one might go to ocean years and everyone is having the time of their lives, but something we've all at DC album really conscious seven recent years is.
[SPEAKER_01]: the adult is a different person today than they were in 1998.
[SPEAKER_01]: We're the grown-ups knit, which is wild.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so millennial parents are looking for, I believe, I think we all believe, millennial parents are looking for.
[SPEAKER_01]: a different adult experience than our bruner parents were when they would take a break from the kids.
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't think that any, I mean, maybe I shouldn't say anybody.
[SPEAKER_01]: I like to speak at extremes.
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that the vast majority of our guests on Disney cruise line, the adult is an enormous Disney fan.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're here because they love this brand.
[SPEAKER_01]: It is not a, you know, my kid loves Disney and I guess I'll suffer through Disney for them.
[SPEAKER_01]: So for this Disney adult guest, and I say this as a proud Disney adult myself, it's not about your adult time being a break from the Disney of it all.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's about your adult time offering a more sophisticated way to play within our Disney worlds and stories.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what's really exciting about this space.
[SPEAKER_01]: And so we get to have shows with great power, which is hilarious and naughty and wild and unhinged.
[SPEAKER_01]: The entire time I was sitting there, I was like, how did this get approved?
[SPEAKER_04]: How did it?
[SPEAKER_04]: It is so good, but also the script speaks to us.
[SPEAKER_04]: Yes, totally.
[SPEAKER_05]: To it, you can tell it was written by someone who get it.
[SPEAKER_05]: And it was probably doing the same things on their Disney World vacation that you are.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, I hope you do call out.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, on a cruise ship is crazy.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and it has that feeling too of like this could go off the rails and you submit and that danger is what makes it so exciting.
[SPEAKER_01]: I love the bigots to make things like that.
[SPEAKER_01]: Or the parlor, which is you're recommended for 10 and up because it's, you know, what the little, the energy of the room isn't appropriate for the little, but just there's all these different ways to engage with these stories and these characters
[SPEAKER_01]: on our team about skimmers, swimmers, and deep divers.
[SPEAKER_01]: Then any story experience, there's the skimmers, who just tip their toe in.
[SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, they will go engage on a little bit of a more surface level, and that's great.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we have to cater to that.
[SPEAKER_01]: We want them to have an amazing experience.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then there's your swimmers who they're going to show up for that interactive experience.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to, they're going to, you know, respond to Ziya and Gamble.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to really clet-eye evil.
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, we love the hilarious hilarious.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god.
[SPEAKER_01]: And then this is Deep Divers, who are going to live fully within a story experience.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they're going to look for those Easter ranks.
[SPEAKER_01]: They're going to look for those clues.
[SPEAKER_01]: They've got that, what I like to call pro-noiya, opposite of paranoia, the feeling that the world is out to help you.
[SPEAKER_01]: OK.
[SPEAKER_01]: They give you a purpose-driven, amazing experience.
[SPEAKER_01]: And I just thought we were delivering for all levels and engagement here.
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh my gosh.
[SPEAKER_04]: I last question for you.
[SPEAKER_05]: having, I've worked out so many different things on the ship.
[SPEAKER_05]: What does the one show or detail or aspect of something that you are most proud of?
[SPEAKER_05]: Is there one thing where you're like, that was so hard to do when we got it done or like, and it's something that speaks the most to you or something you've been championing from the beginning?
[SPEAKER_05]: Like, what is your, I say like your baby of the, of all the different aspects of all the entertainment?
[SPEAKER_01]: There's so many to tell my gosh, oh, we've got there's so many.
[SPEAKER_01]: I will, I'm going to get due to, okay.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's trouble making with Kerala at the Celia's Parler.
[SPEAKER_01]: those two were both from our very first conversations about what would we do on the Disney Destiny we for which we did our first creative charats for the destiny as a login on board the Disney wish.
[SPEAKER_01]: So the entire entertainment creative team, and you know where we did it on the wish, the only space that was available was the Disney Studio.
[SPEAKER_01]: And we sat in there on folding chairs for four days straight, thinking about what stories can we tell on this ship?
[SPEAKER_01]: And eventually going to, hey, what about this closet, huh?
[SPEAKER_01]: No, it's really using this.
[SPEAKER_01]: What could we do here?
[SPEAKER_01]: But facilities, parlor and trouble making with Kruella came out of the first day of those first rats.
[SPEAKER_01]: Wow.
[SPEAKER_01]: And they've been with us from the very start and they are everything we dreamed of and more in their execution and they, but they are those things where you pinch yourself and you go, you can't believe we get to do this.
[SPEAKER_04]: It's, and especially those two, they're so Disney.
[SPEAKER_04]: Like, yeah, those experiences feel like, oh, why hasn't it's been your forever?
[SPEAKER_04]: That's how it's truly just because you kind of told Sam the tiny room.
[SPEAKER_05]: Yeah, what if we do this?
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, what if we, what if we played in the space a little bit different way?
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm also remembering to be remnisced not to talk out to the little about Hercules.
[SPEAKER_01]: And tonight, I'm in.
[SPEAKER_01]: Our directors Kevin and Marcel Wilson, they don't come from the world of musical theater, they come from pop concerts and arena tours, and it was such a bold, big swing to make them are creative leaders and say, we want you to tell this story in the vocabulary that's native to you.
[SPEAKER_01]: Make it feel like that pop concert energy that you guys are all about, and I feel like
[SPEAKER_01]: emotionally rich, hilarious, just unbelievably exciting, and it feels like the ultimate fan experience.
[SPEAKER_01]: The way that going to, I don't know, I ain't go to the iris tour, I wish I did.
[SPEAKER_01]: But the iris tour was the ultimate fan experience.
[SPEAKER_01]: That's what the people tell me.
[SPEAKER_05]: For millennial, they have the adults who grew up just wishing for her kiwi stuff.
[SPEAKER_05]: That's where I think this is their iris tour.
[SPEAKER_01]: Totally.
[SPEAKER_01]: And that curtain call.
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, yes, why not?
[SPEAKER_01]: Let's have a Vogue Ball with the cast of Hercules.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's so fun, it's so dynamic.
[SPEAKER_01]: It's totally different, right thing we've done before and we're so thrilled.
[SPEAKER_05]: It was amazing.
[SPEAKER_05]: Thank you so much for coming on the bucket.
[SPEAKER_05]: It's you!
[SPEAKER_06]: Hey, Carly, it is Erin.
[SPEAKER_06]: Question for you, basically a bunch of either or, if you were going to Walt Disney World resort to celebrate a big birthday, and you had a lot of conflicting conversations, which would you pick between Gico and Bo House, or what about deciding between Narcosies
[SPEAKER_06]: not dining there.
[SPEAKER_06]: That's not conflicting, but that's fine.
[SPEAKER_06]: The following day, Chip and Dale's harvest feast, breakfast, and garden grill with later to Kooley's hay dinner.
[SPEAKER_06]: That sounds expensive.
[SPEAKER_06]: So, I don't really think I'm doing all of this, but I do have that reservation and then the sci-fi din and theater restaurant for lunch, hopefully just getting into that car.
[SPEAKER_06]: So, basically,
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, and I would say in terms of fancy that, uh, narcoosies and to kumitay would be an either or for sure.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, but any like major like avoid, um, I don't eat meat.
[SPEAKER_06]: I eat fish.
[SPEAKER_06]: Um, so if it's like, wow, you have to have the sake here.
[SPEAKER_06]: That is good to know for my boyfriend who will be with me, but I, as a birthday girl, do not care.
[SPEAKER_06]: Uh, about that.
[SPEAKER_06]: And yeah, so if any like secret winners, any thing I've left off the list that you're like actually is have you considered going to this place.
[SPEAKER_06]: And then the bonus question is, we will be in Orlando and doing universal stuff and just sort of popping around.
[SPEAKER_06]: And I will have access to a car and I want to experience a random Orlando weirdness.
[SPEAKER_06]: That would be approved just like it's like what would Julia press dot do if she wasn't allowed into the park in Orlando.
[SPEAKER_06]: I'm not sure if you have any of that intel, but I'm always down for weirdness.
[SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, okay, so that was a lot of information, but I think it was minus a lot of the superfluous.
[SPEAKER_06]: about priorities, as you say, and, you know, I'm just intrigued here what your experience advice would be.
[SPEAKER_06]: All right, happy holidays, and take care.
[SPEAKER_03]: Hi, Erin.
[SPEAKER_03]: Okay, I am braced and ready to do your gaggle of Disney world either ors.
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, happy early birthday this is very exciting and I am delighted to participate in the birthday journey.
[SPEAKER_03]: There are going to be a lot of hot takes in here that just me and my career, but I'm going to do it anyway and give you my honest, honest opinion.
[SPEAKER_03]: Gico versus Boathouse.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if these two restaurant properties have ever faced off before, but my gut is telling you to go to Gico, and this is not based at all on menu or offerings, but I just feel like Boathouse is not going to give you that special, um, of a large party dinner.
[SPEAKER_03]: I, usually when I'm on the boat house, I've had a small table of two or three people, I've sat outside, and on my last visit, my most recent visit, I sat inside, and it was freaking loud.
[SPEAKER_03]: It was loud, and they had a lot of these big old tables for like eight, 10, 12 people.
[SPEAKER_03]: And it was just like, there was so much noise in there.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I feel like that's not a good environment for a bunch of people getting dinner for your birthday.
[SPEAKER_03]: If it was like a big family trip, I think it would be fine, but because it's like your birthday, and we're going to be spending money at these dinners, we want it to be nice.
[SPEAKER_03]: I do think Gico might lend itself to a better dinner experience than you might get at Boathouse.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now I am glancing at the Gico menu and they have two fish options, one is a roasted seasonal fish and one is a seafood to Jean.
[SPEAKER_03]: I have not had either of these dishes, but I just feel like Gico is going to be a calmer, nicer dinner and honestly I have like a visceral memory being at Boat House and being like, I don't want to be in this room right now.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like it was, it was loud
[SPEAKER_03]: and I don't want that for you, maybe that is because I am no no divergent and I am realizing that that affects the way I move through the world.
[SPEAKER_03]: But my gut is telling me, Gico, I don't know, it just seems like a nicer, like a more quiet casual intimate type of dinner.
[SPEAKER_03]: However, when I'm choosing between all these different spots, I kind of feel like Narcussies might be above both of those.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I know that Narcousey's face off as a Narcousey's versus simply not going there.
[SPEAKER_03]: But there's something to me about doing Narcousey's and then like seeing the electrical water pageant after getting that dose of like, oh my gosh, I am at Disney World.
[SPEAKER_03]: I am here.
[SPEAKER_03]: This is special being able to like maybe take them on a rail around being in the Grand Floridian.
[SPEAKER_03]: Like there is a little more elegance associated with that, parking and like getting in or taking the bus and getting into Disney Springs, not in elegant in elegant.
[SPEAKER_03]: Animal kingdom logic, same mildly elegant you need to see animals unless it's too dark on because you're doing dinner But narcosies, I'm fully going off of vibes not men you here, which is not the way to do it, but it's the way I feel we should do it And so I kind of want to just plug narcosies because of that.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just feel like it is a little bit nicer of a meal
[SPEAKER_03]: Now, we have Garden Grill into Kumi Tame the same day, which is a lot.
[SPEAKER_03]: That means you're going to be sitting down to probably four to five hours of dining in one day, which is two, that's too much.
[SPEAKER_03]: We got to be seeing an Epcot of Rune Epcot, you know?
[SPEAKER_03]: Those two are absolutely different vibes, but again, you did raise the flag of Narcussies or possibly to Kumi Tame.
[SPEAKER_03]: I, if I was looking at all these, and BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
[SPEAKER_03]: Sorting them out.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would want a group dinner in our coosies.
[SPEAKER_03]: That sounds nice get to look on in the water Look at the magic kingdom.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, look at the magic kingdom and then I would also want to do to kumi-tay I have not been to kumi-tay.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm not being too took kumi-tay in a while simply because when I have visited It has mostly been Explicitly for work or I have been with my daughter and I can't go there with my child And I don't have like a babysitting option on site.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I haven't been in a minute, but I do want to flag that for to kumi-tay
[SPEAKER_03]: they have two set course menus which wasn't always the case before the pandemic they had all the card options.
[SPEAKER_03]: Now they have two different course menus, one then is a meat and fish and one then is vegetarian.
[SPEAKER_03]: Because you do eat fish, I would actually before you make your final decision on any of this, I would contact them.
[SPEAKER_03]: They because they are affiliated with Disney but not operated by Disney, they have an email address that they actually operate and will answer from.
[SPEAKER_03]: It is to kumitay at Mitsukoshi's, but like the store that I've got, Mitsukoshi-orlando.com.
[SPEAKER_03]: That email address is also on the to kumitay page on the Walt Disney World website.
[SPEAKER_03]: If you want to like book a private meal, it's the same email address.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would reach out and be like, can I do the fish course just not with me?
[SPEAKER_03]: Because I personally, if I'm going somewhere where I know that they're going to do a really good job of fish, I don't want to eat the vegetarian menu if I could eat all the fish and like not one of the beef dishes.
[SPEAKER_03]: So, I would reach out to them and kind of let that inform your decision from there of what you should and should not do.
[SPEAKER_03]: As for sci-fi diamond, I don't listen to this call a few times and I could quite tell, it sounded like you said sci-fi diamond or lunch, which I don't know if that meant sci-fi diamond for dinner or lunch, but it sounds like you have your heart set on sci-fi diamond, so I want that for you.
[SPEAKER_03]: So I'm just gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna let you cook.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm gonna let you go with that and let you enjoy.
[SPEAKER_03]: Uh, I think that is everything.
[SPEAKER_03]: I, if I had the choice between eating at Gico or Boat House or Macoosies, I don't want to, I think I don't want to eat at Narkoosies.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I didn't think I was in Narkoosies stand, but I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's something like, when it's your birthday, you want it to feel a little like a little more special.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I think that, like, being the closer you get to the castle, the more special it feels.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I hate that I am the castle brainwashed like that.
[SPEAKER_03]: But that's just how I feel like.
[SPEAKER_03]: The Grand Floridian, ooh, like walking out in our courses, ooh, like it just feels a little more birthday special to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Not at all having to do it with a menu, but Narcousey's does have, oh, let me see if I can find the one thing I had there last time I liked.
[SPEAKER_03]: I keep trying to avoid using the phrase mom brain, but it has happened to me.
[SPEAKER_03]: Unfortunately, I don't fully remember, I know I got like a salad and something else, I don't see what we had there, but there are so many fish dishes there that I kinda want.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm on Narcousey's to have the elevated experience for you.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't want you to be standing around that podium at Boat House for like 22 minutes being like, is our table ready, and then you're just walking, walking, walking, walking, walking back to the back room.
[SPEAKER_03]: I want you to have an elegant birthday, and so I am voting, or Kusy's above all, and then Gico, and then, both house, but then also to commutate at the side.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would rather do to commutate in Gordon Grill, but if you want to character meal, Gordon Grill is there, but also Gordon Grill is not my ideal character meal.
[SPEAKER_03]: I would probably want to do a breakfast at Topalinos.
[SPEAKER_03]: It's a hard reservation to get with a learned group, but that's where I sit.
[SPEAKER_03]: That's where I sit.
[SPEAKER_03]: are getting into your final question, which is random or random weirdness.
[SPEAKER_03]: And I'm excited that you have a car.
[SPEAKER_03]: I'm excited that you can drive around and do stuff.
[SPEAKER_03]: There's like no more freeing feeling than being a Disney World, and being like, I have a car.
[SPEAKER_03]: I can do whatever I want.
[SPEAKER_03]: And where am I going to point you to?
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know if you've listened to our episode with Shelby Honey, who is one of us.
[SPEAKER_03]: I love you Shelby for listening.
[SPEAKER_03]: Shelby is so cool, but also makes the theme park experiences that we are obsessed with.
[SPEAKER_03]: And if Shelby says Gatorland is worth the trip, then I think Gatorland is worth the trip.
[SPEAKER_03]: Also, Julia Prescott and Shelby should be friends.
[SPEAKER_03]: They should, I need to introduce them, they would.
[SPEAKER_03]: They would be like immediate best friends like that best friends emoji with like the two girly's dancing I got it.
[SPEAKER_03]: I got to link them up So I'm gonna recommend looking to Gatorland listen to that episode and see if she'll be convinced you that you should be going Also, I'm gonna once again recommend lemon hearted I always recommend lemon hearted for local stuff truly the best resource I found for Cool coffee shops restaurants things to do in Orlando.
[SPEAKER_03]: I just always think that they knock it out of the park
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope that helps.
[SPEAKER_03]: I hope you have a wonderful birthday.
[SPEAKER_03]: Let me know how it goes.
[SPEAKER_03]: And have so much fun dining.
[SPEAKER_03]: Oh, I'm going to Disney World very soon and I've made no dining reservations because with the podcast event like I don't know, I don't know.
[SPEAKER_03]: I don't know what my free time is going to be like and so I'm a little jealous.

[SPEAKER_03]: Thank you all so much for listening, thank you to Jenny for coming on the podcast, and honestly thank you to Disney Cruise Line for letting me do this.

[SPEAKER_03]: So I appreciate it, I appreciate it for me asking for something out of bounds and them just being down for it.

[SPEAKER_07]: I love shopping with you.

[SPEAKER_07]: It was so good.

[SPEAKER_07]: So then I went ahead and I looked it up.
