WEBVTT 00:16.060 --> 00:22.587 [SPEAKER_10]: And welcome to very amusing, your one stop shop for the story secrets and shenanigans of a popcorn people theme park journalist. 00:22.987 --> 00:27.371 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm Curly Waisel, and we have released all the chaos from last week's episode. 00:27.391 --> 00:33.157 [SPEAKER_10]: We fully like sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh-sh 00:33.457 --> 00:36.119 [SPEAKER_10]: Have basically booked out my entire house like a conference room. 00:36.359 --> 00:37.099 [SPEAKER_10]: My dog is gone. 00:37.220 --> 00:38.140 [SPEAKER_10]: My child is away. 00:38.260 --> 00:38.700 [SPEAKER_10]: She's swimming. 00:38.720 --> 00:40.442 [SPEAKER_10]: She's not like, oh wait, I'm in ban assure. 00:40.922 --> 00:46.645 [SPEAKER_10]: And my husband is at work, which means that I have the entire house to myself to record this episode, which means that we are focused. 00:46.665 --> 00:53.830 [SPEAKER_10]: We are laser-focused on answering your questions that we have received on the show's hotline, which I cannot wait to do. 00:54.050 --> 01:00.852 [SPEAKER_10]: Now, I know I probably instilled a bunch of panic in many of you when I was like, Loki, we're just gonna take a few weeks off, ha ha ha ha, you're so information. 01:01.292 --> 01:03.753 [SPEAKER_10]: And I don't like that as much as you don't like that. 01:04.013 --> 01:04.633 [SPEAKER_10]: So here's the deal. 01:04.873 --> 01:08.374 [SPEAKER_10]: We will not be taking that much time off. 01:08.554 --> 01:11.175 [SPEAKER_10]: As long as I have jury duty this week. 01:11.255 --> 01:14.276 [SPEAKER_10]: So as long as I'm not, I'm just gonna say cast in a role. 01:14.976 --> 01:16.677 [SPEAKER_10]: That's not how jury duty works. 01:17.097 --> 01:19.238 [SPEAKER_10]: As long as I'm not selected to serve. 01:20.959 --> 01:40.819 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh my gosh, I've been watching too much Lincoln lawyer as long as I'm not selected to serve and I have time next week I will be able to set this up and it should be fine There are three weeks when I am away that I would need episodes in an advance and what I think I'm gonna do is it While I'm gone instead of recording some willy nilly podcast and like the basement of my parents house while pearls running around screaming playing games I think what I'm gonna do is this 01:41.600 --> 01:42.461 [SPEAKER_10]: for the next three weeks. 01:42.822 --> 01:45.525 [SPEAKER_10]: We are going to have locked and loaded many episodes. 01:45.745 --> 01:46.927 [SPEAKER_10]: What are these episodes going to be? 01:47.327 --> 01:51.573 [SPEAKER_10]: Essentially, they're going to be many episodes with all of my top tips for theme parks. 01:51.673 --> 01:59.343 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm talking, I'm thinking Disneyland, Disney World, and either Universal Orlando or Universal Hollywood, I am not sure yet. 01:59.763 --> 02:18.212 [SPEAKER_10]: I just wanted to be a little episode where if you haven't been in a while, if you're just curious what my top tips are, because there's always stuff that I know that I forget to say out loud, because it's just like in the lexicon in my brain, you're gonna hit play, and it's just gonna be like everything that you would tell someone at a cocktail party about what they need to do at Disneyland without giving them an hours work. 02:18.232 --> 02:20.873 [SPEAKER_10]: It's just like 15, 20 minutes of that, and we are good. 02:21.513 --> 02:35.418 [SPEAKER_10]: I actually came up with this idea randomly and I think it's kind of the best because while working on this episode I got a lot of calls back from people that I had oh my gosh, how do I explain this they had called in There were a few episodes in row where it was like I'm going to Disneyland solo I'm going on this trip. 02:35.438 --> 02:47.822 [SPEAKER_10]: What advice do you have and I gave them a bunch of advice and I got these calls back from multiple people being like Here's why you're advice helped Here's what worked out like I'm so I'm so glad you mentioned this one random thing and it's all stuff that kind of is in my brain and then leaves like I forget about it 02:48.102 --> 02:51.385 [SPEAKER_10]: So I'm gonna harness all of that and make these mini episodes so you can just hit play. 02:51.805 --> 03:00.913 [SPEAKER_10]: So if you need like a little refresher before you say go to Disneyland this summer, or maybe this fall, I can remind you to like, do but order your mobile order stuff in advance when you enter the beginning of the day. 03:01.713 --> 03:07.018 [SPEAKER_10]: Because then later when your hungry is gonna be too late and you can always modify the time and that's easier and you know they don't charge you until you pick it up. 03:07.378 --> 03:18.188 [SPEAKER_10]: So it's just going to be chock full of like the tightest advice I can give you and I actually am really excited about it and can't wait to record those but until then we are talking this week about your questions. 03:18.468 --> 03:19.249 [SPEAKER_10]: Keep in common too. 03:19.329 --> 03:21.471 [SPEAKER_10]: I love these episodes and I would love to do more of them. 03:21.591 --> 03:22.632 [SPEAKER_10]: So stick around. 03:22.672 --> 03:25.575 [SPEAKER_10]: We have a lot of fun stuff ahead in our national travel. 03:26.596 --> 03:28.017 [SPEAKER_10]: My favorite type of french fry. 03:28.057 --> 03:28.898 [SPEAKER_10]: You name it. 03:29.058 --> 03:29.879 [SPEAKER_10]: We're getting mimed to it. 03:29.919 --> 03:30.459 [SPEAKER_10]: Stick around. 03:30.840 --> 03:31.320 [UNKNOWN]: We'll be right back. 03:39.744 --> 03:52.513 [SPEAKER_09]: Hi, Carly. 03:52.533 --> 03:54.514 [SPEAKER_09]: This is Jess from Portland, Oregon. 03:54.794 --> 04:00.559 [SPEAKER_09]: I was just listening to her episode with the Todd, the three-by-three episodes. 04:00.579 --> 04:02.840 [SPEAKER_09]: And you mentioned not being able to find just 04:05.842 --> 04:11.604 [SPEAKER_09]: I don't know if it's good because I've never had it but I know it exists because we are a Celiax family. 04:12.184 --> 04:27.049 [SPEAKER_09]: There is a gluten-free baked chicken plate at the Plaza Inn in Disneyland and I think it's like three or four baked drumsticks and then potatoes and veggies or something like that. 04:27.189 --> 04:28.150 [SPEAKER_09]: But it exists. 04:28.490 --> 04:31.971 [SPEAKER_09]: It just isn't written down anywhere because it's an allergy menu and 04:32.501 --> 04:36.866 [SPEAKER_09]: for some reason that's one of the allergy menus they don't post in the app or online. 04:37.707 --> 04:47.599 [SPEAKER_09]: So maybe it's good, it's gluten-free, and maybe that will fill your kick-in-void that you talked about on the positive. 04:48.252 --> 04:52.433 [SPEAKER_10]: Anyway, happy theme parking, and thank for you, bye. 04:52.973 --> 04:54.434 [SPEAKER_10]: Thank you so much for this call. 04:54.534 --> 05:00.555 [SPEAKER_10]: There is a reason I am playing this at the start of the episode, and it is that your timing could not have been better. 05:00.935 --> 05:05.097 [SPEAKER_10]: Truly, I planned this episode a few days before I was actually going to sit down and make it. 05:05.137 --> 05:05.897 [SPEAKER_10]: I listened to all the calls. 05:05.917 --> 05:11.258 [SPEAKER_10]: I was like, okay, oh, I definitely want to play this one and talk about kind of the dishes that I get at Disneyland. 05:11.578 --> 05:14.599 [SPEAKER_10]: How easily I navigated through having food issues at Disney 05:18.100 --> 05:18.640 [SPEAKER_10]: for recording this. 05:18.721 --> 05:19.301 [SPEAKER_10]: I went with friends. 05:19.361 --> 05:20.842 [SPEAKER_10]: We wound up, there's maybe like seven of us. 05:21.343 --> 05:22.844 [SPEAKER_10]: We wound up at Plaza in for dinner. 05:23.304 --> 05:24.165 [SPEAKER_10]: I've been there before. 05:24.305 --> 05:25.186 [SPEAKER_10]: I've gotten a salmon. 05:25.206 --> 05:26.026 [SPEAKER_10]: It's been totally fine. 05:26.307 --> 05:34.253 [SPEAKER_10]: But on this visit, I realized the salmon is now covered in breadcrumbs, which means that all of their entrees meet love breadcrumbs fried chicken, I mean coding. 05:35.414 --> 05:37.716 [SPEAKER_10]: Sal, I can't have a salad and there's like no protein out in any way. 05:37.736 --> 05:44.401 [SPEAKER_10]: So I would have spent like $13 on iceberg lettuce and then chicken tenders coded and then salmon covered in breadcrumbs. 05:44.441 --> 05:45.282 [SPEAKER_10]: So I was like, oh my god, 05:46.923 --> 05:49.565 [SPEAKER_10]: And we're like seven other people were already getting food. 05:49.605 --> 06:01.574 [SPEAKER_10]: So I was like, oh, no, so I asked them if they could do the salmon with this is going somewhere I promise I asked them they could do the salmon without the bread crumbs and they were like, um, you're gonna have to talk to The people about an allergy meal and I was like, oh, the allergy meal. 06:01.594 --> 06:02.075 [SPEAKER_10]: I was told about 06:02.655 --> 06:03.216 [SPEAKER_10]: fantastic. 06:03.756 --> 06:06.918 [SPEAKER_10]: Only it didn't quite go the way I anticipated it would. 06:07.238 --> 06:09.360 [SPEAKER_10]: Now, if you hear something in the background, it's just morning shaking, it's tail. 06:10.961 --> 06:13.563 [SPEAKER_10]: I did crash out a little bit about this on subscribers. 06:13.603 --> 06:19.186 [SPEAKER_10]: I was processing my feelings in real time about the implications of what I experienced while ordering that allergy meal. 06:19.427 --> 06:21.568 [SPEAKER_10]: But to keep this as succinct is possible. 06:21.748 --> 06:22.228 [SPEAKER_10]: Essentially, 06:23.329 --> 06:26.451 [SPEAKER_10]: I ordered an alternative meal, I could not eat anything at this restaurant. 06:26.831 --> 06:35.255 [SPEAKER_10]: And the way I was treated, in my opinion, from my perspective, I'm not going to say exactly how the conversation went down because my memory is not the most reliable narrator. 06:35.555 --> 06:41.818 [SPEAKER_10]: However, I distinctly remember how I feel and how I felt after and it is lingering a day later. 06:41.838 --> 06:49.881 [SPEAKER_10]: I feel as though I was somewhat inferred or maybe one might say accused of not needing the 06:51.963 --> 07:02.554 [SPEAKER_10]: Uh, the conversation was, there were multiple points at which I, I was like, it just, it just felt like they thought I was lying. 07:02.854 --> 07:06.498 [SPEAKER_10]: It felt like they thought I was lying that I needed accommodations for a meal. 07:07.349 --> 07:15.651 [SPEAKER_10]: And the implications of this go so far beyond me eating a boiled chicken leg and a scoop of white rice. 07:15.711 --> 07:19.252 [SPEAKER_10]: Like that's actually my ideal meal because that's what I eat every day at home. 07:19.312 --> 07:23.753 [SPEAKER_10]: I now cook all my own food because of this topic issues that I have and that's what I'm used to. 07:23.773 --> 07:27.514 [SPEAKER_10]: Like that is a meal I could have and I was very grateful that Disney was able to accommodate me. 07:27.594 --> 07:30.415 [SPEAKER_10]: I was able to eat a meal that I could actually digest. 07:30.715 --> 07:33.616 [SPEAKER_10]: And I have been my doctor wanted me to expand my 07:34.216 --> 07:39.298 [SPEAKER_10]: dieted a bit so I've been trying new things and it has not been going great so I have been pretty ill from it. 07:39.398 --> 07:41.579 [SPEAKER_10]: So I was like, oh my god, a safe meal, something I can eat. 07:41.899 --> 07:42.619 [SPEAKER_10]: This is fantastic. 07:43.019 --> 07:57.004 [SPEAKER_10]: However, the implications of this are that I did not know that when some people request allergy meals, they are met with maybe an attitude that they are making it up, that they don't need it and that they somewhat don't deserve it. 07:57.884 --> 08:12.210 [SPEAKER_10]: I know this not just because of the way I felt during the conversation from the tone of a few questions being asked, but also because I ordered my meal behind a family who also ordered an allergy meal, and they did not have the same style of conversation that I did. 08:13.191 --> 08:13.291 [SPEAKER_10]: And 08:14.397 --> 08:29.187 [SPEAKER_10]: It upsets me, not because of me, but because of what would happen if someone else was in this situation and felt so hurt by it that they just gave up and ate something that they couldn't eat that made them sick because they didn't want to have a discussion like this again. 08:29.567 --> 08:32.911 [SPEAKER_10]: What if someone just got diagnosed with something and they're uncomfortable talking about it? 08:32.931 --> 08:33.711 [SPEAKER_10]: They're not used to it. 08:33.751 --> 08:34.973 [SPEAKER_10]: What if they were in this position? 08:35.433 --> 08:38.737 [SPEAKER_10]: And that's antithetical to how this is supposed to go. 08:39.037 --> 08:43.662 [SPEAKER_10]: And it extends deeper when you really talk about disability access service and desks. 08:44.062 --> 08:48.387 [SPEAKER_10]: Because what we've seen is that a lot of people who need this service because some people 08:48.787 --> 08:50.168 [SPEAKER_10]: don't and we're abusing it. 08:50.268 --> 08:52.629 [SPEAKER_10]: That is the rumor of why everything is restricted so much. 08:52.989 --> 08:54.870 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just going to go with that because we all have common sense. 08:55.010 --> 09:06.136 [SPEAKER_10]: Once they introduced paid fast pass, once they introduced lightning lane, obviously DAS requests shifted drastically because people are trying to take advantage of a system that now requires them to pay when they didn't have to pay. 09:06.536 --> 09:07.217 [SPEAKER_10]: It was different. 09:08.437 --> 09:12.519 [SPEAKER_10]: I have seen the struggles that people face to simply get the accommodations they need. 09:12.559 --> 09:14.180 [SPEAKER_10]: There is a Facebook group that I am in. 09:15.060 --> 09:16.281 [SPEAKER_10]: I see it every day. 09:16.461 --> 09:20.002 [SPEAKER_10]: I see how hard it is for people who have these accommodations who truly need them. 09:20.382 --> 09:26.365 [SPEAKER_10]: Having to loudly advocate and almost convince and beg a stranger to be like, I need this. 09:26.945 --> 09:33.671 [SPEAKER_10]: The fact that often, if you are, I mean, the process is now for disability access service, for waiting for an attraction. 09:33.891 --> 09:41.198 [SPEAKER_10]: If you are in continent, they expect you to wait in line and then just leave to go to the bathroom, that's not how that works. 09:41.838 --> 09:43.060 [SPEAKER_10]: That's not how that works. 09:43.360 --> 09:46.663 [SPEAKER_10]: Like, we need to be expanding accommodations for people who need them. 09:47.063 --> 09:47.924 [SPEAKER_10]: Here we get. 09:48.324 --> 09:53.147 [SPEAKER_10]: And while I, I know I don't have it out yet, there is an accessibility episode. 09:53.267 --> 09:59.011 [SPEAKER_10]: I am trying to put together, but that thing needs to be airtight and like truly it needs to be a guide that people can visit. 09:59.031 --> 10:02.353 [SPEAKER_10]: For years, I want it to be fully journalistic reported level. 10:02.473 --> 10:04.034 [SPEAKER_10]: I have not been able to execute that yet. 10:04.074 --> 10:07.036 [SPEAKER_10]: We do have a question about mobility later in this episode, so stay tuned for that. 10:07.417 --> 10:14.901 [SPEAKER_10]: If that is of interest or concern or of knowledge, excuse me, if anybody wants to know there's lots of that or just listen to the podcast episode, 10:15.782 --> 10:24.424 [SPEAKER_10]: But I did not realize, and I did not know, that people faced this type of struggle while ordering food too. 10:24.864 --> 10:28.745 [SPEAKER_10]: And the fact that for this specifically, there is no paid counterpart. 10:28.765 --> 10:32.925 [SPEAKER_10]: There is nobody's trying to lie about an allergy meal to get something. 10:32.945 --> 10:37.026 [SPEAKER_10]: You're paying the same amount for food that is frankly not is good. 10:37.866 --> 10:39.847 [SPEAKER_10]: $20 for a bunch of boiled chicken legs. 10:39.887 --> 10:43.648 [SPEAKER_10]: Like that is what I boiled chicken and rice is what I feed my dog 10:45.728 --> 10:46.388 [SPEAKER_10]: You know what I mean? 10:46.648 --> 10:55.690 [SPEAKER_10]: Like no one's trying to get away with anything here, and the fact that if they treated me that way Someone who's like very open like I'll show you my colonoscopy results. 10:55.930 --> 11:07.012 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't care the fact that someone who Like is not in a position that I mean where like I'm a bit of a I'm a tourist in this world right now I have stomach issues. 11:07.092 --> 11:07.892 [SPEAKER_10]: I haven't always had them. 11:08.252 --> 11:13.813 [SPEAKER_10]: I may not have them if you treat me do not know But the fact that like that's the default for someone who has asked for an allergy meal 11:14.213 --> 11:25.039 [SPEAKER_10]: once and from what I've heard from people who have DM to me, who have allergies, who have food and tolerances, said that, yeah, at Disneyland Resort, not at Disney World. 11:25.240 --> 11:28.441 [SPEAKER_10]: I have also had great experience at Disney World ordering separate meals. 11:28.461 --> 11:31.883 [SPEAKER_10]: I've been traveling with people who needed allergy meals, who needed a separate meal. 11:32.003 --> 11:33.224 [SPEAKER_10]: Everything has been wonderful. 11:33.504 --> 11:35.265 [SPEAKER_10]: This is the first time I've experienced this. 11:35.385 --> 11:37.967 [SPEAKER_10]: And for that, I apologize that I have not reported on this yet. 11:38.207 --> 11:42.849 [SPEAKER_10]: and I want to thank you for calling to tell me about this meal because I wouldn't have been able to have dinner without it. 11:43.229 --> 11:44.870 [SPEAKER_10]: I truly wouldn't have been able to eat at this restaurant. 11:44.890 --> 11:48.211 [SPEAKER_10]: There was no food that I could eat except for the allergy meal. 11:48.251 --> 11:49.952 [SPEAKER_10]: So thank you for calling. 11:50.292 --> 12:03.377 [SPEAKER_10]: But while I am so grateful to know about this, it opens up an entirely different can of worms that people who need accommodations across the board, not just with attractions, but throughout the park are not getting what they need. 12:03.757 --> 12:06.038 [SPEAKER_10]: I was talking to a friend, I was texting the friend a few days ago, 12:07.959 --> 12:14.563 [SPEAKER_10]: There is such a, there's so much inaccessibility for adult or larger style changing tables. 12:14.943 --> 12:23.468 [SPEAKER_10]: Those should be all over the place because if you need to use an adult like a larger changing table, I believe adult changing table is the preferred name for that. 12:23.688 --> 12:26.890 [SPEAKER_10]: If you need to use a larger changing table, there should be more than one. 12:27.150 --> 12:30.992 [SPEAKER_10]: The fact that it Disney's Hollywood Studios, there's no toddler potty. 12:31.452 --> 12:49.860 [SPEAKER_10]: Everything they did was for children and there's no toddler potty like we're missing very very basic things that make people who visit these parks Not only feel seen and feel representative but make them comfortable and make it easier on them and that's what Disney is so Good at and I was shocked to experience this firsthand that it's 12:50.500 --> 12:57.066 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, it's not, it's not just the, you know, the, the parallel nature between a paid fast pass and dash. 12:57.486 --> 12:58.247 [SPEAKER_10]: It's not even that. 12:58.647 --> 12:59.808 [SPEAKER_10]: It goes so far beyond that. 12:59.828 --> 13:05.033 [SPEAKER_10]: There's so, Disney is a company that is so great about accessibility and so great about accommodating people. 13:05.473 --> 13:09.157 [SPEAKER_10]: And yet, and yet, there are improvements that can be made. 13:09.637 --> 13:18.580 [SPEAKER_10]: So I want to make sure you guys know, I don't, I'm not, my intent here is not to be like, they give me a hard time when I order my bag of boiled chicken legs. 13:18.980 --> 13:19.160 [SPEAKER_10]: No. 13:19.520 --> 13:22.081 [SPEAKER_10]: For me, it's kind of like, if this is true, what else is true? 13:22.401 --> 13:26.542 [SPEAKER_10]: And like, I don't, I visit these parks kind of for work, kind of for fun. 13:26.902 --> 13:32.384 [SPEAKER_10]: And I'm noticing these things that really are troublesome to people and can easily be fixed. 13:32.404 --> 13:35.565 [SPEAKER_10]: They can add to other parties, they can add additional accessible restrooms. 13:37.515 --> 13:45.400 [SPEAKER_10]: not treat you badly when you ask if you can get white rice because you can't eat the other things they're serving. 13:45.821 --> 13:57.929 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm really taken aback by what I experienced that was not what I thought Disney was across the board really accommodating and from talking to people apparently this happens at Disneyland Resort and you will sometimes get an attitude when asking for what you need. 13:58.209 --> 13:59.090 [SPEAKER_10]: Um, shocking. 13:59.750 --> 14:27.670 [SPEAKER_10]: pretty shocking so i'm disappointed to learn this i'm uh i'm horrified that i didn't know the sooner and haven't reported on it so for that i apologize i think i want to thank the people who listen to the podcast who subscribe to me who let me know this is an issue because i had no idea and i want to make sure that i i mentioned that i am committed to raising a flag about these issues so again thank you for telling me about this meal truly you helped me so much thank you to the people who message me thank you my subscribers who were 14:28.450 --> 14:34.091 [SPEAKER_10]: On the ride in real time, as I was like, wait, I'm sitting up at 1am still bothered about an interaction I had in the park. 14:34.131 --> 14:35.872 [SPEAKER_10]: Let me unpack why I'm upset. 14:36.492 --> 14:39.493 [SPEAKER_10]: And thank you to everyone who always flag stuff like this to me. 14:39.693 --> 14:41.793 [SPEAKER_10]: I appreciate and please always tell me stuff. 14:42.574 --> 14:47.755 [SPEAKER_10]: I can't live every experience and I want to do my best to represent the entire experience of visiting a theme park to everyone. 14:48.295 --> 14:53.919 [SPEAKER_10]: So thank you to all also like those were the fleshyest pieces of meat I've ever had. 14:53.939 --> 14:54.800 [SPEAKER_10]: They cost $20. 14:54.840 --> 14:56.521 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm not trying to get away with anything. 14:56.841 --> 15:00.564 [SPEAKER_10]: It seemed like I was treated like this was a TikTok trend to try to get these like boy old chicken legs. 15:00.824 --> 15:03.706 [SPEAKER_10]: I promise you that is just the only food I can eat. 15:04.206 --> 15:04.987 [SPEAKER_10]: Thank you for your call. 15:05.947 --> 15:06.588 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh my god. 15:06.608 --> 15:09.069 [SPEAKER_04]: Hi, Carly. 15:09.530 --> 15:10.430 [SPEAKER_04]: Um, okay. 15:10.450 --> 15:14.633 [SPEAKER_04]: I was just listening to your June, Gazzesh and a few things. 15:14.793 --> 15:15.754 [SPEAKER_04]: First of all, 15:17.585 --> 15:28.193 [SPEAKER_04]: over a summer vacation when the kids are out of school what parents do other than camps with their kids as they hire me. 15:28.434 --> 15:30.195 [SPEAKER_04]: This is sorry I'm just being silly. 15:30.795 --> 15:44.686 [SPEAKER_04]: I do like full-time shelter so you know maybe somewhere in the L.A. area there's like a grab student who is working with kids and will take for a few a few days a week 15:49.266 --> 15:59.633 [SPEAKER_04]: Yeah, I do, we go on adventures or sometimes we play dolls for like five hours, you know, I make them read. 16:00.754 --> 16:06.198 [SPEAKER_04]: But anyway, also in your June, God Sush, I've been wondering what's for such a long time. 16:07.298 --> 16:34.431 [SPEAKER_04]: you mentioned being like a child of those with constant delveria and i wanted to know did you ever have you ever been to the i think it's called the mountain of this theme park it is like the it's a regional park that is all like Greek mythology themes and others also like a waterpark and gocarts as well i'm more interested in the wooden coasters that are theme to create gods i just want to know if you've ever been there um thank you for listening 16:35.397 --> 16:55.273 [SPEAKER_04]: I hope you have a wonderful summer and that you don't go like, you know, you don't get having fever, having to deal with your growing tiles every day of summer while you work from home. 16:55.773 --> 16:56.194 [SPEAKER_04]: Thank you. 16:57.227 --> 17:01.350 [SPEAKER_10]: the glee I feel that I get to answer a call about Mount Olympus. 17:01.711 --> 17:03.152 [SPEAKER_10]: Have I been there? 17:03.652 --> 17:07.335 [SPEAKER_10]: Maybe I was there before Mount Olympus was even born. 17:07.796 --> 17:10.478 [SPEAKER_10]: Before we get into it, I just want to touch on the first thing you said. 17:10.758 --> 17:22.588 [SPEAKER_10]: I posted a video of what it's actually like to record upon cast while my child was off the school, resonated with some people, other people don't know what that's like, and for you, I am grateful for your bliss, enjoy it, sleep in, 17:22.888 --> 17:25.209 [SPEAKER_10]: sleep in because some of us can't and you need to take advantage. 17:25.889 --> 17:32.931 [SPEAKER_10]: We do have child care during the week, but when Pearls in school part of the time, so when she's not in school, it falls on us. 17:33.291 --> 17:37.353 [SPEAKER_10]: We don't have family who lives here, but he's operating all day and so is his wife. 17:37.373 --> 17:37.593 [SPEAKER_10]: So like 17:38.513 --> 17:41.355 [SPEAKER_10]: They're not like common over to play toys with my kid. 17:41.815 --> 17:46.218 [SPEAKER_10]: Anyway, the only reason I got backed up on everything was because we are traveling so much this summer. 17:46.418 --> 17:50.381 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm on a town with Pearl every three weeks for this is the last of it. 17:50.941 --> 17:53.122 [SPEAKER_10]: But we've been in and out of town a lot. 17:53.483 --> 17:58.205 [SPEAKER_10]: And so I just didn't plan an advance to become home and I'd have, I work when she's at school. 17:58.626 --> 18:01.888 [SPEAKER_10]: So I didn't plan that like, oh, all the time that she's at school, evaporated. 18:01.908 --> 18:05.930 [SPEAKER_10]: So that is why I was like, yeah, yeah, just commonly altogether with work schedules has been tricky. 18:06.190 --> 18:06.871 [SPEAKER_10]: But we got through it. 18:07.511 --> 18:11.735 [SPEAKER_10]: Um, and then we have like another two weeks later on in the summer that that's future means problem. 18:12.375 --> 18:15.518 [SPEAKER_10]: But let's get back to Mount Olympus because that's what I really can't wait to talk about. 18:15.758 --> 18:18.200 [SPEAKER_10]: Now real quick on the lore of this place. 18:18.760 --> 18:21.882 [SPEAKER_10]: Before there was Mount Olympus, there was family land. 18:22.263 --> 18:25.225 [SPEAKER_10]: The water park resort of my childhood. 18:25.565 --> 18:27.227 [SPEAKER_10]: A lot of you grew up with Disney. 18:27.807 --> 18:30.189 [SPEAKER_10]: I grew up with family land. 18:30.589 --> 18:47.960 [SPEAKER_10]: It was just a Wisconsin-Dell's water park from the like retained that 90s charm and they eventually built a new hotel called Treasure Island which was lovely and then they built this indoor water park this massive water park so that if you couldn't go to the outdoor sites you could go to the indoor sites and it was just amazing. 18:48.020 --> 18:55.465 [SPEAKER_10]: I spent every summer we were at camp we would go there no my family growing up it was very important to me and to my love of places like this. 18:55.953 --> 19:01.478 [SPEAKER_10]: It was just really great and had everything and it was like before other places had this stuff and it was just wonderful. 19:02.139 --> 19:08.345 [SPEAKER_10]: And I believe 2004, a Greek family purchased all of that and they rebranded it as Mount Olympus. 19:08.665 --> 19:15.953 [SPEAKER_10]: And if you've ever played or are familiar with roller coaster tycoon, that's essentially what happened here in real life. 19:16.473 --> 19:34.817 [SPEAKER_10]: They built all these gigantic coasters year after year, their names like Zeus and Cyclops and Pegasus, but the real story is here that you like won't find on the Wikipedia or written online, is that the owners essentially gobbled up all the small businesses across Wisconsin Dells, while also building this massive resort. 19:35.497 --> 19:37.338 [SPEAKER_10]: I've been on some of those wooden coasters. 19:38.359 --> 19:39.980 [SPEAKER_10]: My husband has gone on the scarier ones. 19:40.020 --> 19:42.721 [SPEAKER_10]: Frankly, I don't like the looks of them and it's not my vibe. 19:42.881 --> 19:44.542 [SPEAKER_10]: I've been going here a long time. 19:44.902 --> 19:49.524 [SPEAKER_10]: And then when all the sudden someone builds a coaster that goes underground, and like, I don't know what's down there. 19:49.925 --> 19:50.445 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't want to know. 19:50.565 --> 19:52.066 [SPEAKER_10]: It's just, it's not for me. 19:52.586 --> 19:57.768 [SPEAKER_10]: But Wisconsin knows used to be this absolute vacation paradise of seemed motels that you drive past. 19:57.788 --> 20:00.929 [SPEAKER_10]: They all have these little water parks out front, somewhere like can be themed. 20:01.169 --> 20:08.571 [SPEAKER_10]: They all had these glorious little themes and they were so quaint and so sweet and like just the main strip of motels was so, so fun to drive past. 20:08.931 --> 20:11.132 [SPEAKER_10]: And they got rid of all of that. 20:11.492 --> 20:13.233 [SPEAKER_10]: Now it's just building eight. 20:13.713 --> 20:17.096 [SPEAKER_10]: building 27, and it's such a bummer. 20:17.376 --> 20:23.642 [SPEAKER_10]: It's really hideous if we're being honest, and I don't understand how this financially works out. 20:23.942 --> 20:26.685 [SPEAKER_10]: So they, their pay model is odd. 20:26.965 --> 20:29.488 [SPEAKER_10]: They sell vacation packages, but I just want on the website. 20:30.088 --> 20:32.630 [SPEAKER_10]: The prices are always like shockingly low. 20:32.951 --> 20:36.554 [SPEAKER_10]: You right now can get a hotel room with tickets for one night for $59. 20:36.594 --> 20:39.637 [SPEAKER_10]: So you get a hotel room and tickets to Mount Olympus. 20:39.937 --> 20:46.380 [SPEAKER_10]: But I've seen tickets be as low as $3, $5, and I went to check that, and that was last year. 20:46.680 --> 20:55.885 [SPEAKER_10]: So this wasn't like a COVID-19 water park special, like this was recent, which leaves me with a, you know, maybe you get what you pay for kind of vibe. 20:56.245 --> 21:04.389 [SPEAKER_10]: I just don't think it's going to be at the Disney level that we are all used to when the tickets are essentially half the price of a cold brew. 21:04.949 --> 21:12.892 [SPEAKER_10]: Again, rollercoaster tycoon vibes, but they have a lot of eye popping attractions that personally, not as a journalist taking that hat off. 21:13.192 --> 21:16.873 [SPEAKER_10]: Personally, don't feel safe enough for me to put my body in them. 21:16.933 --> 21:18.233 [SPEAKER_10]: That is my opinion. 21:18.293 --> 21:23.955 [SPEAKER_10]: Many people go on them, they turn out fine, but not always took a good video, but still. 21:24.355 --> 21:30.017 [SPEAKER_10]: They have America's tallest water slide, but he with structure I will never put my body in. 21:30.477 --> 21:30.958 [SPEAKER_10]: Stuff like that. 21:31.078 --> 21:31.958 [SPEAKER_10]: But I'm a Noah's Ark. 21:32.338 --> 21:33.940 [SPEAKER_10]: Noah's Ark is America's largest water park. 21:34.000 --> 21:37.182 [SPEAKER_10]: It's also at Wisconsin knows the water park capital of the world. 21:37.222 --> 22:01.422 [SPEAKER_10]: This is how I was raised And also Noah's Ark didn't bulldoze my childhood dreams, so I have no vendetta against them As for the historical accuracy and intrigue around Mount Olympus, I am not an expert in that field I've seen the coasters I've been there, but I wouldn't be able to be like, oh, that's reminiscent of This not not not not my my sub my focus of studies not my focus of studies 22:01.882 --> 22:13.650 [SPEAKER_10]: But in 2016, the family's house was struck by lightning, and if that doesn't seem historical and biblical to you, I don't know what does. 22:14.170 --> 22:17.372 [SPEAKER_10]: If you have never been to Wisconsin Dells, you may not be as phased by the fact, you know, 22:17.492 --> 22:32.105 [SPEAKER_10]: Well, we're a birthday park people all the buildings having numbers is very, very strange and just feels like Terrible planning but Wisconsin else is a wonderful place many of the businesses that I loved in my childhood are still there I really wanted to go back this year. 22:32.286 --> 22:42.255 [SPEAKER_10]: It's just too far of a drive with parole and she'll be like why I just feel like won't understand it It's not the juice is not where the squeeze for us in 2026, but I do plan on going 22:42.655 --> 22:43.836 [SPEAKER_10]: The second she's old enough. 22:43.856 --> 22:46.397 [SPEAKER_10]: We're going to go constantly and I absolutely cannot wait. 22:46.437 --> 22:46.998 [SPEAKER_10]: It is wonderful. 22:47.018 --> 22:49.980 [SPEAKER_10]: And if you are driving distance, just go to Paul Bagnins. 22:50.000 --> 22:50.800 [SPEAKER_10]: Go to Paul Bagnins for me. 22:50.840 --> 22:51.461 [SPEAKER_10]: Have a donut. 22:52.221 --> 22:54.002 [SPEAKER_10]: Call me while you're eating it, please. 22:54.042 --> 22:55.583 [SPEAKER_10]: Make me feel jealous that I'm not there. 22:55.803 --> 22:58.065 [SPEAKER_10]: Also go to Denny's Diner, which is not Denny's as you know. 22:58.085 --> 22:59.305 [SPEAKER_10]: And it's just a place called Denny's Diner. 22:59.345 --> 23:00.966 [SPEAKER_10]: The cinnamon rolls my brother introduced me to those. 23:01.006 --> 23:02.647 [SPEAKER_10]: We were counselors at overnight camp. 23:03.068 --> 23:03.788 [SPEAKER_10]: Those are fantastic. 23:04.689 --> 23:05.689 [SPEAKER_10]: Was it like pancake pantry? 23:05.709 --> 23:06.670 [SPEAKER_10]: We never had pancake places. 23:07.370 --> 23:08.151 [SPEAKER_10]: Is it Mr. Pancake? 23:08.491 --> 23:13.740 [SPEAKER_10]: Whatever it's called, I went there once as a child, and I remember my family was like, if you drink your whole glass of milk, because I didn't want a drink milk. 23:14.121 --> 23:14.442 [SPEAKER_10]: Wow! 23:14.562 --> 23:15.524 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh my god, I've come so far! 23:15.544 --> 23:16.906 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, it must have been milk. 23:16.966 --> 23:17.207 [SPEAKER_10]: Wow! 23:18.002 --> 23:18.562 [SPEAKER_10]: of milk now. 23:18.682 --> 23:20.723 [SPEAKER_10]: Wow, they really, maybe this is the origin story. 23:21.003 --> 23:26.446 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, maybe it's why they were like, if you finish your milk, we'll go back to the water park on a dare thinking I wouldn't do it. 23:26.466 --> 23:29.087 [SPEAKER_10]: It was our last day and I chugged that thing away, but back to the water park. 23:29.187 --> 23:31.828 [SPEAKER_10]: My mom, mom, let me know in the voice mail for this episode. 23:31.848 --> 23:39.452 [SPEAKER_10]: If that's what happened, I remember sending it to the pancake place because you don't, we didn't usually go there and everything like, bet and I got to go back to the water park and they were like, oh, she else smarter to us. 23:40.132 --> 23:53.477 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm very clear to remember that pizza pub, whoo, baby, incredible salad bar, fantastic pizza, still slaps, wonderful cheese curds, all of it, spotted count. 23:53.497 --> 23:54.177 [SPEAKER_10]: It's just wonderful. 23:54.237 --> 23:54.697 [SPEAKER_10]: I love Wisconsin. 23:54.717 --> 23:57.398 [SPEAKER_10]: There's so much if anybody has the opportunity to go there, she absolutely go. 23:57.418 --> 24:01.340 [SPEAKER_10]: And now that I'm like seeing those prices out loud and like stuff is affordable and there's so many indoor water slides. 24:01.360 --> 24:02.500 [SPEAKER_10]: If you like water slides, ah! 24:02.760 --> 24:05.862 [SPEAKER_10]: I went in winter once and my brother and we went to a must of state of call a harry. 24:06.382 --> 24:13.466 [SPEAKER_10]: We must of state of call a harry and they had a hot tub, a gigantic hot tub, like with a barring in and it was swim out, swim in. 24:13.706 --> 24:17.068 [SPEAKER_10]: So you would like swim out a little and be like, I'm freezing because it's Wisconsin and winter. 24:17.288 --> 24:19.629 [SPEAKER_10]: And then you come back in and be like, ooh, toasty. 24:19.669 --> 24:20.030 [SPEAKER_10]: It's incredible. 24:20.050 --> 24:21.730 [SPEAKER_10]: It's an incredible place. 24:21.871 --> 24:23.912 [SPEAKER_10]: I love it so much and I can't recommend it enough. 24:23.972 --> 24:28.314 [SPEAKER_10]: But when you drive past, building four and building 13, go boo! 24:28.554 --> 24:29.335 [SPEAKER_10]: Just give my thumbs down. 24:29.355 --> 24:29.955 [SPEAKER_10]: I might be going. 24:31.643 --> 24:32.644 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh my god thank you for the call. 24:32.664 --> 24:34.184 [SPEAKER_10]: I love talking about what's got to do. 24:35.384 --> 24:40.926 [SPEAKER_00]: Hi Carly, long time second time, my husband and I are going to Hong Kong Disneyland at the end of the month. 24:41.106 --> 24:49.269 [SPEAKER_00]: It will be my sixth and final castle park and it will be his first time in Hong Kong and obviously neither of us have been to Hong Kong Disneyland before. 24:49.869 --> 24:50.609 [SPEAKER_00]: So two questions. 24:50.910 --> 25:00.313 [SPEAKER_00]: One, what is a fun way of commemorating visit visiting all of the international parks and two, what are your must-use and some pitfalls to avoid in Hong Kong Disneyland? 25:02.878 --> 25:05.800 [SPEAKER_10]: We're finally crossing Hong Kong off the list. 25:06.201 --> 25:09.503 [SPEAKER_10]: Hong Kong was also my final sixth castle park. 25:09.984 --> 25:13.086 [SPEAKER_10]: And at the time, this was maybe eight years ago when I went there. 25:13.546 --> 25:17.869 [SPEAKER_10]: At the time, I was kind of like, it was bitter sweet for me because I was like, oh my gosh, I've done it all. 25:18.250 --> 25:21.092 [SPEAKER_10]: And then I realized, oh my gosh, I've done it all. 25:21.532 --> 25:29.016 [SPEAKER_10]: Now with the pace that Disney parks and experiences are opening things at, I don't feel as stressed about it because I know there's always going to be a new cruise ship in New Land. 25:29.036 --> 25:35.359 [SPEAKER_10]: There's always something new to see these days, but it is a little bit of a boy we did it. 25:35.760 --> 25:42.203 [SPEAKER_10]: And I'm very glad that you're already thinking about how you can commemorate all these visits to really like, you know, put a little 25:46.248 --> 26:07.167 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't have a castle photo at each of the parks that I would line up and like feel anything from, but I would just, I would encourage you to try to find a piece of merchandise, not that you would like enjoy and put on a shelf, but a piece of merchandise specifically at Hong Kong that you think you will use. 26:07.947 --> 26:13.971 [SPEAKER_10]: I bought a Jellotoni passport holder, which was intended for some sort of like in park experience. 26:14.691 --> 26:15.932 [SPEAKER_10]: And I was like, this fits a passport. 26:15.952 --> 26:17.213 [SPEAKER_10]: This will be a passport holder. 26:17.713 --> 26:21.095 [SPEAKER_10]: And whenever I use that while traveling, it reminds me of like, oh my gosh, I've been to all of them. 26:21.355 --> 26:34.143 [SPEAKER_10]: So something Hong Kong specific that you will like interact with on a daily basis or even just regularly frequently, that will just remind you of the fact that you've done it all more than I think something that represents all the parks. 26:34.323 --> 26:37.885 [SPEAKER_10]: It is pretty tricky these days to find any item that lists all the parks. 26:38.306 --> 26:40.948 [SPEAKER_10]: I have a jacket that you need to glow, you need to glow. 26:40.988 --> 26:41.988 [SPEAKER_10]: Sorry, I was mispronounced that. 26:42.409 --> 26:49.553 [SPEAKER_10]: I have a jacket that you need to glow made maybe seven or eight years ago that has all of the, all of the, all of the cities, all the parks listed on the back. 26:49.894 --> 26:51.315 [SPEAKER_10]: But besides that, it is a little tricky. 26:51.375 --> 26:53.896 [SPEAKER_10]: So I would recommend just getting something maybe a keychain. 26:54.277 --> 27:01.942 [SPEAKER_10]: Maybe just to do that, so I'm going to put in your car to something that really emphasizes that like, wow, you came, you saw, and you conquered. 27:02.322 --> 27:04.184 [SPEAKER_10]: Which is something I am going to help you do. 27:04.584 --> 27:12.850 [SPEAKER_10]: Now, it is a little bit of a bummer that I went back to my Hong Kong notes and my advice that I've sent to people and so much has changed since I have gone. 27:13.331 --> 27:16.653 [SPEAKER_10]: Hong Kong is the park that I have frequented the least. 27:17.294 --> 27:20.318 [SPEAKER_10]: And there's the only Disney park that I have not visited multiple times. 27:20.699 --> 27:34.338 [SPEAKER_10]: When I was there though, I did go multiple days and I ended up buying a ticket on my third day because I had to go back because it really just has kind of a small Disney land charm to it and I really, really enjoyed being there. 27:34.702 --> 27:38.726 [SPEAKER_10]: A lot of this stuff I was gonna tell you, does it quite apply anymore? 27:38.806 --> 27:42.910 [SPEAKER_10]: Like, one of my favorite things to do there was to walk around and talk to cast members and get stickers. 27:43.170 --> 27:46.734 [SPEAKER_10]: They were passing out all these unique stickers and I still have them. 27:46.934 --> 27:47.915 [SPEAKER_10]: I halted them. 27:48.195 --> 27:52.319 [SPEAKER_10]: I mean, they didn't ask for too many, but the ones I got, they were so special and I held onto them. 27:52.359 --> 27:55.823 [SPEAKER_10]: And apparently they don't do that anymore, which is kind of a bummer. 27:56.283 --> 28:09.868 [SPEAKER_10]: Another one of my main tips, which may or may not be useful to you, is that I, at the time, used Cluke KL-O-K, it is a much more prominent website than it was then, now than it is then, and basically you can buy discount tickets and things like that. 28:10.688 --> 28:22.333 [SPEAKER_10]: Definitely check that out in compare prices to the park tickets through Tokyo Disneyland, because some seem beneficial, but some seem like you're truly only saving pennies on the dollar, and Hong Kong Disneyland offers 28:23.601 --> 28:51.378 [SPEAKER_10]: a weird mix of product like I this was shocked me when I was there but like we are in coupon territory people something about Hong Kong Disneyland there is a lot of couponing happening in this resort when I was there all the tickets of people bond on clook which I ended up buying for my final day all the tickets came with like a like a voucher for popcorn so like I truly went up to a kiosk was in the line to buy popcorn went to pay with money and they were like 28:51.638 --> 28:52.098 [SPEAKER_10]: What? 28:52.318 --> 28:59.983 [SPEAKER_10]: Because everyone was like popcorn, coupon, popcorn, coupon, popcorn, coupon, money, and they were like, wait, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, like it like shut the whole line down. 29:00.343 --> 29:02.144 [SPEAKER_10]: That's how many coupons are here. 29:02.184 --> 29:07.727 [SPEAKER_10]: And there's a lot of merchandise discount, meal discount, both sold on Disney site and their which is wild. 29:08.047 --> 29:11.589 [SPEAKER_10]: But check that just to see if pricing is different. 29:12.129 --> 29:14.991 [SPEAKER_10]: I will remind you, you are in defy territory now. 29:15.311 --> 29:20.214 [SPEAKER_10]: So if you wanna meet those characters, make sure to prioritize that because those lines can get long, long, long, long. 29:20.494 --> 29:21.635 [SPEAKER_10]: they do offer from your access. 29:21.655 --> 29:23.375 [SPEAKER_10]: You can pay to go on stuff here. 29:24.056 --> 29:26.077 [SPEAKER_10]: I do believe there is a paid option to meet Duffy. 29:26.197 --> 29:29.158 [SPEAKER_10]: I would be laying out dollars on the ground to be able to do that. 29:29.578 --> 29:31.519 [SPEAKER_10]: But you know, it is kind of like me. 29:31.659 --> 29:36.482 [SPEAKER_10]: That's kind of like meeting Mickey Mouse at Disneyland is meeting Duffy and friends at Hong Kong Disneyland. 29:36.502 --> 29:37.682 [SPEAKER_10]: That's how I feel. 29:37.722 --> 29:41.724 [SPEAKER_10]: And when I went at the time, I waited two hours, which is a lot, but it's nowhere near 29:44.670 --> 29:46.451 [SPEAKER_10]: But generally speaking, attraction-wise. 29:46.752 --> 29:50.795 [SPEAKER_10]: Obviously, mystic manner, it's the cold favorite, it only exists here. 29:51.355 --> 29:56.579 [SPEAKER_10]: It is a little confusing in my opinion, but I still enjoyed it, and I'm really glad I went on. 29:56.919 --> 29:59.602 [SPEAKER_10]: To me, it kind of felt like if Haunted Mansion was a museum. 30:00.362 --> 30:11.273 [SPEAKER_10]: I loved it, but I will flag that trackless technology has changed, or is not, it has changed, yeah, I'll say trackless technology has been utilized in more ways than before. 30:11.393 --> 30:14.015 [SPEAKER_10]: It is now very prominent at American parks. 30:14.356 --> 30:18.300 [SPEAKER_10]: Like, it is something you were used to at the time it was a little shocking. 30:18.640 --> 30:24.626 [SPEAKER_10]: So just be prepared to not be as wild by it as people might lead you to believe. 30:24.966 --> 30:31.070 [SPEAKER_10]: I still feel that Poo's honey hunt and Tokyo Disneyland still delivers, even though it is a Orion system we're used to now. 30:31.430 --> 30:34.892 [SPEAKER_10]: I do remember walking off the Mystic Man or being like, that was great, but it didn't change me. 30:35.212 --> 30:36.073 [SPEAKER_10]: I didn't buy any merch. 30:36.113 --> 30:38.014 [SPEAKER_10]: Like it didn't like a fact me on a cellular level. 30:38.114 --> 30:38.975 [SPEAKER_10]: It does for some people. 30:39.335 --> 30:39.955 [SPEAKER_10]: It didn't for me. 30:40.136 --> 30:40.996 [SPEAKER_10]: That's totally okay. 30:41.316 --> 30:46.940 [SPEAKER_10]: But obviously, absolutely go on that and like take a fun picture in front because the front is beautiful. 30:47.568 --> 30:50.270 [SPEAKER_10]: I weirdly, I really liked Iron Man experience. 30:50.610 --> 31:03.499 [SPEAKER_10]: It's essentially Star Wars, but with Iron Man, when I went, it was the newest ride there, and the language barrier is high, but it's really fun to be on a Disney ride using these Star Wars system, doing something totally different. 31:03.579 --> 31:07.242 [SPEAKER_10]: And I thought it really lended itself well to that type of story. 31:07.862 --> 31:12.386 [SPEAKER_10]: It's fun, it's worth doing, and it's something you can't do at home, which is usually what I like to do with some of these parks. 31:13.046 --> 31:13.987 [SPEAKER_10]: Jungle River Cruise. 31:14.607 --> 31:15.248 [SPEAKER_10]: It's different here. 31:16.098 --> 31:16.938 [SPEAKER_10]: That's all I'm gonna say. 31:17.618 --> 31:25.240 [SPEAKER_10]: And big grizzly mountain runway minecars, which is basically like a bizarre roe version of Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. 31:25.300 --> 31:34.122 [SPEAKER_10]: It's like if another park wanted a Big Thunder Mountain Railroad and they called it big grizzly mountain runway minecars like it literally sounds bootleg and it's different but it's still fun. 31:34.642 --> 31:37.083 [SPEAKER_10]: It's still kind of fun and what's the other thing? 31:37.423 --> 31:38.303 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, hyperspace mountain. 31:38.343 --> 31:43.264 [SPEAKER_10]: They've hyperspace mountain here and according to my old notes, I liked it better here than anywhere else. 31:46.285 --> 31:48.366 [SPEAKER_10]: And in terms of food, things have really changed there too. 31:48.446 --> 31:49.927 [SPEAKER_10]: It is a small park with a small footprint. 31:49.947 --> 31:53.290 [SPEAKER_10]: There's not that much going on, but things have still changed. 31:53.490 --> 31:56.852 [SPEAKER_10]: I remember really enjoying the Explorers Club restaurants. 31:56.912 --> 31:58.853 [SPEAKER_10]: They have a similar menu now to what they had before. 31:58.893 --> 31:59.633 [SPEAKER_10]: It is different though. 31:59.673 --> 32:02.996 [SPEAKER_10]: They have Indonesian fried rice, butter chicken. 32:03.056 --> 32:06.778 [SPEAKER_10]: I think I saw a bibimbap, like they have a few different types of cuisine, which is great. 32:07.198 --> 32:09.380 [SPEAKER_10]: I think it converts into a buffet at dinner time, which... 32:10.340 --> 32:11.321 [SPEAKER_10]: I was not next. 32:11.341 --> 32:12.321 [SPEAKER_10]: I remember having dinner there. 32:12.461 --> 32:14.042 [SPEAKER_10]: Again, things have changed, not the same. 32:14.343 --> 32:18.145 [SPEAKER_10]: But the main place I ate was the market house bakery. 32:18.485 --> 32:20.086 [SPEAKER_10]: This is different from no. 32:20.987 --> 32:21.547 [SPEAKER_10]: Market house? 32:21.627 --> 32:21.908 [SPEAKER_10]: No. 32:22.108 --> 32:22.508 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh, no. 32:22.548 --> 32:22.848 [SPEAKER_10]: Hold on. 32:22.868 --> 32:23.809 [SPEAKER_10]: There's I had notes. 32:24.089 --> 32:27.371 [SPEAKER_10]: There are two names that are so similar. 32:27.931 --> 32:29.733 [SPEAKER_10]: It's like market house bakery in market house. 32:29.833 --> 32:30.353 [SPEAKER_10]: Something like that. 32:30.513 --> 32:31.994 [SPEAKER_10]: One of them I think is a Starbucks. 32:32.314 --> 32:33.215 [SPEAKER_10]: I just remember going to the bakery. 32:33.635 --> 32:43.423 [SPEAKER_10]: I went to the bakery and they had really good donuts and I went so often to get donuts and to get like a hot drink because it was winter that the staff started recognizing me because that is how small Hong Kong Disneyland was. 32:43.743 --> 32:46.706 [SPEAKER_10]: The staff recognized me by the morning of day two. 32:47.166 --> 32:49.288 [SPEAKER_10]: Absolutely remember that was kind of a highlight because it was awesome. 32:49.568 --> 32:51.529 [SPEAKER_10]: but really just enjoy being there. 32:51.609 --> 32:55.152 [SPEAKER_10]: It's really nice to just be in an environment that is Disney, but different. 32:55.532 --> 32:56.232 [SPEAKER_10]: I thought it was beautiful. 32:56.272 --> 32:57.993 [SPEAKER_10]: They read the castle, I haven't seen it in person yet. 32:58.013 --> 32:58.534 [SPEAKER_10]: I hope you enjoy. 32:58.554 --> 33:00.755 [SPEAKER_10]: They're frozen now. 33:00.935 --> 33:01.255 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't know. 33:01.295 --> 33:05.178 [SPEAKER_10]: I just, I really, I felt like when I go to Disneyland, it's like, oh, there's a lot of people here. 33:05.418 --> 33:08.380 [SPEAKER_10]: And I felt like it gave me the Disneyland charm without the chaos. 33:08.820 --> 33:09.720 [SPEAKER_10]: I hope you have a great time. 33:09.781 --> 33:11.502 [SPEAKER_10]: Let me know how it goes. 33:11.542 --> 33:12.322 [SPEAKER_10]: Have so much fun. 33:12.362 --> 33:13.983 [SPEAKER_10]: And let me know if the donuts are still good. 33:14.003 --> 33:15.104 [SPEAKER_02]: I hope you're still good. 33:19.228 --> 33:21.209 [SPEAKER_02]: an Alberta Canada. 33:21.349 --> 33:30.533 [SPEAKER_02]: I've just, about a quarter way through the gap session, uh, episode of Purdue, and I wanted someone to write a discussion, and you have to attend. 33:30.673 --> 33:36.335 [SPEAKER_02]: I had to stop calls of Charles online just so I could comment about french fries. 33:36.915 --> 33:39.677 [SPEAKER_02]: Um, I, what are your favorite french fries? 33:39.697 --> 33:40.477 [SPEAKER_02]: Because for me, it is 33:48.392 --> 33:51.414 [SPEAKER_02]: part of it and there's more parts to be crispy. 33:51.814 --> 33:52.395 [SPEAKER_02]: There's a best. 33:52.755 --> 33:57.978 [UNKNOWN]: There are places that I use to frequent and the stop-tabbing critical price. 33:58.279 --> 34:03.702 [SPEAKER_02]: I stop frequent these and I wouldn't even go to there as that restaurant at all because I love critical price. 34:03.742 --> 34:04.363 [SPEAKER_02]: There is a best. 34:04.623 --> 34:08.665 [SPEAKER_02]: And it holds a different sauces whether we catch up for brands or whatever. 34:08.966 --> 34:11.387 [SPEAKER_02]: It holds a better, it's just worth satisfying. 34:12.938 --> 34:17.000 [SPEAKER_02]: I know the last time I was attempting for one is like the shoestring prize, not a fan. 34:17.020 --> 34:24.545 [SPEAKER_02]: It can be steak prize or the best, of course, is a pre-booked prize, I love them, I love them. 34:25.005 --> 34:31.629 [SPEAKER_02]: That's probably all I had to say, but this was a very emotional moment for me and I was triggered, let's say. 34:32.029 --> 34:32.810 [SPEAKER_02]: Yeah, that is all. 34:33.300 --> 34:35.021 [SPEAKER_02]: Crinkles that prize all the way. 34:35.362 --> 34:35.642 [SPEAKER_02]: Live. 34:36.303 --> 34:38.745 [SPEAKER_10]: You know, some days I feel like I don't know anything. 34:38.805 --> 34:45.090 [SPEAKER_10]: And then other days, we really level up to a new frontier of my expertise because I have a lot of thoughts. 34:45.370 --> 34:47.172 [SPEAKER_10]: I have a lot of thoughts about French fries in general. 34:47.492 --> 34:56.460 [SPEAKER_10]: To the point where I listed them all out and I was just going to rank them and I realized we can't do that because there are so many variables and we gotta get into it, okay? 34:57.282 --> 35:00.243 [SPEAKER_10]: First of all, potato wedges, get out of here. 35:00.383 --> 35:01.964 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't want to see them usually ever. 35:02.304 --> 35:07.526 [SPEAKER_10]: If I want a fr... That is like potato wedge is truly, type in tea. 35:07.646 --> 35:17.289 [SPEAKER_10]: I remember years ago when Ben and I got married, the marriage advice we got was like never have type in tea, where it's like someone wants something hot, someone wants something cold, and so you just compromise and nobody's happy. 35:17.749 --> 35:19.770 [SPEAKER_10]: That is a potato wedge. 35:20.130 --> 35:21.991 [SPEAKER_10]: I would rather have big potato, give me a potato. 35:22.311 --> 35:25.052 [SPEAKER_10]: I want a french fry potato wedge, absolutely freaking not. 35:25.212 --> 35:27.772 [SPEAKER_10]: Also, as I've mentioned, steak fries, what a waste. 35:28.232 --> 35:29.733 [SPEAKER_10]: You know what I want in a french fry? 35:29.893 --> 35:34.814 [SPEAKER_10]: I want the inside to feel like I'm eating a potato, even though it's supposed to be a french fry. 35:35.114 --> 35:39.815 [SPEAKER_10]: Stop lying to me, steak fries, the absolute worst. 35:39.855 --> 35:41.035 [SPEAKER_10]: Steak fries are really offensive. 35:41.576 --> 35:43.516 [SPEAKER_10]: If I get served steak fries, I don't even eat them. 35:43.916 --> 35:46.757 [SPEAKER_10]: They're so thick, they're like the thumb of french fries. 35:46.777 --> 35:48.737 [SPEAKER_10]: They're absolutely useless. 35:52.618 --> 35:57.919 [SPEAKER_10]: Okay, if I wanted a potato chip, I would have ordered a potato chip. 35:58.399 --> 36:05.601 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't want to be like, I don't want to like a hand cramp, you know, I don't want a hand cramp from trying to eat a french fry, trying to shovel in little fries. 36:06.361 --> 36:10.922 [SPEAKER_10]: I've spent a lot of time in high school at stake in shake and every single time I was disappointed by the fries. 36:11.002 --> 36:13.943 [SPEAKER_10]: Also I'm pretty sure if memory serves correct and I would never forget something like this. 36:14.363 --> 36:19.864 [SPEAKER_10]: When you order cheese fries there, you not only get Gorbaji of fries, but they also melt a piece of cheese on top. 36:20.424 --> 36:29.495 [SPEAKER_10]: So that is not that is not a cheese sauce and I say sir because I know anybody who doesn't go by sir would never do that to me They would never do that to me now. 36:29.515 --> 36:30.196 [SPEAKER_10]: We gotta talk about phrase. 36:30.216 --> 36:36.904 [SPEAKER_10]: I like a curly fry I can get into it, but a curly fry is usually like a curly season's fry and 36:38.105 --> 36:40.286 [SPEAKER_10]: Season fries are a whole different thing. 36:40.587 --> 36:44.269 [SPEAKER_10]: There is this one type of incredible fry that I do not have a name for. 36:44.289 --> 36:45.670 [SPEAKER_10]: I can only describe it to you. 36:46.090 --> 36:50.012 [SPEAKER_10]: But it's like, it's not a battered fry because usually that's like a whole different thing. 36:50.273 --> 36:56.516 [SPEAKER_10]: There's this one type of frozen fry that you can occasionally find places that feels like it has been fried multiple times. 36:56.576 --> 37:02.000 [SPEAKER_10]: It's just extra extra fried extra extra crispy and it's soooooood. 37:02.320 --> 37:05.442 [SPEAKER_10]: And every time I eat a curly fry now, I just kind of compare it to that. 37:06.062 --> 37:11.246 [SPEAKER_10]: Korean phrase doesn't always go well with sauces and I do love to dip a waffle fry. 37:11.807 --> 37:13.728 [SPEAKER_10]: Great if crispy. 37:14.229 --> 37:16.170 [SPEAKER_10]: Horrible if not. 37:16.531 --> 37:17.411 [SPEAKER_10]: Same with the crinkle. 37:17.932 --> 37:23.376 [SPEAKER_10]: Guys, the soft crinkle, like a wiggly, like a worm crinkle, where it's like, mmm, not for me. 37:23.716 --> 37:24.297 [SPEAKER_10]: Can't do it. 37:24.557 --> 37:30.001 [SPEAKER_10]: Even though I do think crinkle cut fries, I'd say you know, crinkle cut fry ideal with cheese sauce. 37:30.021 --> 37:32.323 [SPEAKER_10]: And that made just me the port pillows in my brain talking. 37:32.423 --> 37:36.586 [SPEAKER_10]: But sidebar now that portillos is like, and I'm in Orlando, we can all talk about it. 37:37.086 --> 37:40.108 [SPEAKER_10]: Portillos, you got to be ordering those fries extra crispy. 37:40.228 --> 37:44.231 [SPEAKER_10]: You can do it and it means that they come fresh and hot and they're just like sitting there. 37:44.551 --> 37:45.592 [SPEAKER_10]: Total hack, I love it. 37:45.652 --> 37:53.678 [SPEAKER_10]: Sometimes you do get them a little too crispy, which is the kind of the other side of the problem, but otherwise they're just kind of soggy and I don't want a soggy french fry. 37:54.198 --> 38:01.781 [SPEAKER_10]: But these days, honestly, I am all about a standard fry, a regular thin fry than you make in house. 38:01.841 --> 38:08.064 [SPEAKER_10]: There is a little bit of skin on it, so I know you put the work in that is served hot and crispy. 38:08.084 --> 38:08.844 [SPEAKER_10]: That is the dream. 38:08.904 --> 38:12.866 [SPEAKER_10]: I literally, I know that like since I've put it out in the world that like, I'm ordering fries with their fries. 38:13.286 --> 38:15.447 [SPEAKER_10]: I went to lunch yesterday, fancy restaurant. 38:15.887 --> 38:17.470 [SPEAKER_10]: We can name drop South Beverly Grill. 38:17.731 --> 38:21.558 [SPEAKER_10]: It's where like people on Shark Tank go to have lunch, but I was having a nice lunch with a friend. 38:21.598 --> 38:23.422 [SPEAKER_10]: Also like the prices are the same as regular restaurant. 38:23.442 --> 38:24.805 [SPEAKER_10]: Why do I hold this place in my mind? 38:24.845 --> 38:26.127 [SPEAKER_10]: It's like the temple of lunch. 38:26.920 --> 38:30.201 [SPEAKER_10]: It was the same, my eye ordered an entree because I didn't, at their cells. 38:30.221 --> 38:30.961 [SPEAKER_10]: I can't even sell it right now. 38:32.061 --> 38:33.882 [SPEAKER_10]: The off-term is like $32. 38:34.262 --> 38:39.183 [SPEAKER_10]: If you're going to sit down at a restaurant in Los Angeles, that's a normal price, if it's not a quick service place. 38:39.823 --> 38:44.264 [SPEAKER_10]: Anyway, when I took this nice elegant lunch, ooh, had my slots, I, ooh, ordered a salmon. 38:44.604 --> 38:48.245 [SPEAKER_10]: And the salmon came with broccoli and I was like, I don't want broccoli and eat. 38:48.485 --> 38:50.345 [SPEAKER_10]: Can I swap the broccoli and eat for french fries? 38:50.506 --> 38:52.306 [SPEAKER_10]: And they said, absolutely, you can. 38:52.606 --> 38:53.726 [SPEAKER_10]: So I just have little pieces of salmon 38:56.847 --> 39:10.334 [SPEAKER_10]: Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm 39:18.335 --> 39:19.576 [SPEAKER_10]: Do an extra scan of the menu. 39:20.036 --> 39:23.679 [SPEAKER_10]: Take a look around, like the chicken sandwich land in the burger area. 39:24.039 --> 39:30.244 [SPEAKER_10]: See if there's any sort of house-made sauce, house-made Aeoli, house-made something, order it on the side to dip your fries in. 39:30.985 --> 39:31.565 [SPEAKER_10]: I listen! 39:33.186 --> 39:35.909 [SPEAKER_10]: I know how to live when it comes to eating french fries. 39:35.929 --> 39:36.769 [SPEAKER_10]: That's all I'm gonna say. 39:37.450 --> 39:39.792 [SPEAKER_10]: Have I ignored emails about taxes for years? 39:40.172 --> 39:40.652 [SPEAKER_10]: I have. 39:40.692 --> 39:41.953 [SPEAKER_10]: Does my husband do them for me now? 39:41.973 --> 39:43.615 [SPEAKER_10]: Because otherwise I would probably be in jail. 39:43.995 --> 39:44.695 [SPEAKER_10]: He does! 39:45.036 --> 39:46.517 [SPEAKER_10]: But when it comes to ordering french fries, 39:47.236 --> 39:48.077 [SPEAKER_04]: I know what I'm talking about. 39:48.357 --> 39:49.117 [SPEAKER_10]: Thank you so much for calling. 39:49.457 --> 39:50.878 [SPEAKER_10]: And he actually talked about French fries, truly. 39:50.978 --> 39:52.800 [SPEAKER_10]: And let me know if you use my portalo's hack. 39:53.420 --> 39:56.282 [SPEAKER_10]: Let me know how it goes, because it really, it really doesn't make a difference. 40:15.700 --> 40:18.682 [SPEAKER_08]: Hi, Kyle Lee, my name is Anna, and I'm from Mississippi. 40:18.702 --> 40:39.433 [SPEAKER_08]: I had question about a person with mobility issues leading to being enrolled in universal Orlando and was wondering what advice or ideas you would have for a ways that our entire family can spend together with people who are physically disabled as well. 40:39.833 --> 40:41.234 [SPEAKER_08]: We'll share about specifically. 40:42.384 --> 40:54.237 [SPEAKER_08]: And also, if you would have any influencers that you would possibly recommend to are personally doing with that would be very helpful. 40:54.577 --> 40:54.878 [SPEAKER_08]: Thank you. 40:55.558 --> 41:04.087 [SPEAKER_10]: Hi, yes, I am so happy to help you and to answer your questions, and there's going to be kind of a lot, but I'm going to try to answer everything as succinctly and directly as possible. 41:04.607 --> 41:14.778 [SPEAKER_10]: Now, when it comes to Disney World, they use a system called DAS disability access service, which you may have heard of possibly in this episode, but it is not extended to wheelchair users automatically. 41:15.238 --> 41:31.029 [SPEAKER_10]: They changed this program recently, the language has changed, and they basically say this is a quote from Disney, DAS is offered to accommodate guests who do to a developmental disability such as autism or similar are unable to wait in a conventional queue for an extended period of time. 41:31.468 --> 41:33.749 [SPEAKER_10]: So, again, I don't know your family's health history. 41:34.090 --> 41:44.175 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't know details, but if we are talking strictly about mobility about wheelchair use, if you are using a wheelchair Disney world, you can still access many attractions together with your whole family. 41:44.595 --> 41:50.139 [SPEAKER_10]: Some of them, the user will have to stay in the wheelchair or ECV, sometimes they will have to transfer. 41:50.539 --> 41:58.924 [SPEAKER_10]: I will put a link with details in the show notes that will outline all of that for you as well as one about other cue stipulations that may come in handy if the person in the wheelchair 42:01.385 --> 42:02.606 [SPEAKER_10]: different situations like that. 42:03.267 --> 42:07.630 [SPEAKER_10]: When you're anti-Z world, always ask a cast member if you have a question about anything. 42:08.291 --> 42:13.975 [SPEAKER_10]: You are new with this, and it is okay to not be sure about how protocol works across the entire view of the resort. 42:14.036 --> 42:16.758 [SPEAKER_10]: So never, ever, hesitate to ask a question. 42:17.537 --> 42:29.003 [SPEAKER_10]: Now, I've read anyone listening, I spoke to this caller directly, and they mentioned wanting to know more about scooters, ECVs, and I'm unsure of where you are staying, but you can have them delivered to your hotel room in Orlando. 42:29.243 --> 42:38.108 [SPEAKER_10]: There are many local companies, including preferred providers at Disney World Hostels, and especially since you're going to do both resorts, that might be a good option for you. 42:38.648 --> 42:42.350 [SPEAKER_10]: Disney does rent ECVs, but you can't take them out of the park. 42:42.370 --> 42:43.630 [SPEAKER_10]: You can't just take them for the day. 42:43.710 --> 42:45.491 [SPEAKER_10]: You might have to exchange them if you're park hopping. 42:45.971 --> 42:50.153 [SPEAKER_10]: And they can run out, which would be not great if you were relying on it. 42:50.733 --> 42:58.576 [SPEAKER_10]: If you don't think you'll need the ECV the whole time or maybe driving and can't accommodate your own ECV in the car, that might work best for you. 42:58.636 --> 43:01.458 [SPEAKER_10]: But as a planner, I never liked to roll the dice. 43:01.518 --> 43:02.198 [SPEAKER_10]: So once I found 43:02.718 --> 43:03.719 [SPEAKER_10]: out, that is a possibility. 43:04.079 --> 43:07.300 [SPEAKER_10]: I never forgot it, so I wanted to make sure I emphasize that to you. 43:07.600 --> 43:12.042 [SPEAKER_10]: Again, there will be a lot of notes in the show notes that will very much help you out. 43:12.322 --> 43:23.827 [SPEAKER_10]: Most Disney transportation will accommodate an ECV, but it is my understanding that some of the smaller boat launches that hotels may not automatically be able to accommodate an ECV. 43:24.407 --> 43:29.131 [SPEAKER_10]: Also, do know that there are limited spaces on each Disney bus for wheelchairs and ECVs. 43:29.571 --> 43:38.038 [SPEAKER_10]: If you're ever in a pension need to get somewhere, don't forget, accessible many vans may be an option that works for you, and those can be booked within the lift app across property. 43:38.538 --> 43:46.544 [SPEAKER_10]: At Universal Orlando, wheelchairs and ECVs can be accommodated across park transportation, including boats, but things work differently inside their theme parks. 43:47.145 --> 43:49.647 [SPEAKER_10]: All attractions except for Hogwarts Express were just like 43:49.867 --> 43:51.348 [SPEAKER_10]: high-net transportation with kind of intersection. 43:51.828 --> 44:01.692 [SPEAKER_10]: All attractions cannot accommodate ECVs, but for the vast majority of rides, everything except for taranodon flyers, which you have to be like with someone of a certain height to go on. 44:01.972 --> 44:03.133 [SPEAKER_10]: I have been doing this for 11 years. 44:03.373 --> 44:05.173 [SPEAKER_10]: I basically had a child so that I could go on this ride. 44:05.233 --> 44:07.815 [SPEAKER_10]: I have never been on it, so like, you might be okay. 44:08.935 --> 44:13.257 [SPEAKER_10]: Every ride except for that one has wheelchair accessible cues. 44:13.977 --> 44:19.820 [SPEAKER_10]: their specific right details and transfer requirements are housed in these park specific pdf documents. 44:20.261 --> 44:30.667 [SPEAKER_10]: I put those in the show notes as well and if you look through those you can kind of plan what your day might look like as a family and kind of figure out what type of stuff you guys can do together and plan ahead of it. 44:31.720 --> 44:35.241 [SPEAKER_10]: Universal also has their own gas-like system, but it's different. 44:35.741 --> 44:49.787 [SPEAKER_10]: If you need attraction, Q accommodations, it is advised to register for an IBCCES Individual Accessibility Card, also called IAC, at accessibilitycard.org within 30 days of your visit and at least 48 hours before you arrive. 44:50.467 --> 44:59.110 [SPEAKER_10]: Once that is approved, a universal destination and experience guest accessibility team member will contact the card holder and discuss accommodations for your visit. 44:59.692 --> 45:04.877 [SPEAKER_10]: This is obviously much less narrow in specification for accommodations than Disney World. 45:05.377 --> 45:10.983 [SPEAKER_10]: But that said, the company line on this is that the process is not intended purely for mobility issues. 45:11.363 --> 45:19.010 [SPEAKER_10]: But because I am not personally aware of your family member in question's health history or your needs, that may be something you want to explore. 45:19.531 --> 45:23.615 [SPEAKER_10]: I also want to add, ECVs are available at Universal International Resort. 45:24.295 --> 45:25.936 [SPEAKER_10]: as for creators that I recommend. 45:26.317 --> 45:30.040 [SPEAKER_10]: Tashi Renee's guide is my go-to suggestion for epic universe specifically. 45:30.060 --> 45:31.701 [SPEAKER_10]: I everything I mentioned I will put in the comments. 45:32.121 --> 45:35.784 [SPEAKER_10]: Kirby Corrie Lee has so many guides on their website. 45:36.185 --> 45:44.992 [SPEAKER_10]: I will link to our land, uh I was sorry, I will link to Universal Alando and one of the Disney World ones but just know there are so many other things and Corrie has a bunch of videos on YouTube and Instagram. 45:45.292 --> 45:57.538 [SPEAKER_10]: And I want to specifically stress, I would seek out YouTube and Reddit for Reddit for trip reports, first hand posts from people who aren't creators, but are just, you know, guests going to the park and then writing up what their experience was. 45:57.598 --> 45:59.379 [SPEAKER_10]: I think that will be extremely helpful. 45:59.839 --> 46:05.722 [SPEAKER_10]: And then also check YouTube for videos, which will kind of walk you through so you can see with the visuals of your experience will be like. 46:06.162 --> 46:19.030 [SPEAKER_10]: And a few quick things at the end also I just see so many rice cakes in my mouth is like covering and so I hope I don't sound weird, but I feel like I feel like, oh my god, I wait too much salt just now and my whole body is has no moisture in it. 46:19.050 --> 46:20.131 [SPEAKER_10]: Okay, a few things. 46:20.491 --> 46:23.813 [SPEAKER_10]: These are from the notes for the accessibility episode that I am going to do in the future. 46:23.833 --> 46:25.794 [SPEAKER_10]: I was sent a bunch of tips. 46:25.995 --> 46:28.096 [SPEAKER_10]: I have not fully cleared that I can mention their name. 46:28.136 --> 46:31.218 [SPEAKER_10]: So if this came from you, thank you, but I don't want to blast them. 46:31.758 --> 46:36.520 [SPEAKER_10]: if they said a bunch of ECV tips and I just want to read a few of them to you. 46:36.580 --> 46:46.485 [SPEAKER_10]: They said if you want to rent one rent from scooter bugger and outside company, this is Disney specific because they're much more budget friendly than the ones you get in the parks and their better scooters. 46:46.565 --> 46:51.488 [SPEAKER_10]: This person recommends when a VISTA rentals, they will also provide service and replacement ECVs if needed. 46:52.248 --> 46:56.312 [SPEAKER_10]: If you haven't ECV, you should also have an idea of where you can charge your scooter on the go. 46:56.853 --> 47:01.157 [SPEAKER_10]: I believe Wayne of Vista sent them details about charging spots, so keep that in mind. 47:01.597 --> 47:16.132 [SPEAKER_10]: At Disney World, and this is for Universal as well, account for the weather, their scooters came with a cover for the electrical components, but make sure to have something they recommend emergency ponchos to cover the scooter if you're going indoors, and you can't take it with you, which is such a pro tip. 47:16.272 --> 47:19.794 [SPEAKER_10]: They also have a size make sure to give yourself extra time to get around. 47:21.396 --> 47:27.060 [SPEAKER_10]: Know that your day is not going to go at the same pace that it might typically if you do go to these parks a lot. 47:27.460 --> 47:34.144 [SPEAKER_10]: They also said that they brought a cane and it was helpful because they were able to use that to like do the loading and unloading area. 47:34.505 --> 47:44.832 [SPEAKER_10]: Just keep that in mind and I'm just going to read this for beta for those thinking they might need a mobility aid or that they might be embarrassed to use a scooter their advice is to use the scooter or the mobility aid. 47:45.152 --> 47:46.854 [SPEAKER_10]: do what you need to get through. 47:46.894 --> 47:47.716 [SPEAKER_10]: That part is from me. 47:48.056 --> 47:55.806 [SPEAKER_10]: I know your family member is arriving in a wheelchair, but I just want to add that for anyone listening who may need some of this advice particularly that bit. 47:56.347 --> 47:59.351 [SPEAKER_10]: Again, we are in dire need of a full accessibility episode. 48:00.352 --> 48:01.372 [SPEAKER_10]: We will be coming this year. 48:01.392 --> 48:01.873 [SPEAKER_10]: I promise. 48:01.893 --> 48:05.814 [SPEAKER_10]: I just need to make sure I clear like literally two weeks to research and put it all together. 48:06.274 --> 48:09.715 [SPEAKER_10]: Hopefully this will tie you over or anyone listening over until that is out. 48:09.735 --> 48:10.676 [SPEAKER_10]: I hope you have a wonderful trip. 48:10.696 --> 48:11.496 [SPEAKER_10]: Let me know how it goes. 48:11.556 --> 48:13.757 [SPEAKER_10]: And please, we're going to call back on any questions. 48:13.797 --> 48:15.757 [SPEAKER_10]: It is my job and my pleasure to help you along the way. 48:16.218 --> 48:16.838 [SPEAKER_10]: Thank you for calling. 48:17.818 --> 48:18.799 [SPEAKER_06]: Hey, Carly. 48:18.919 --> 48:20.099 [SPEAKER_06]: It is Erin. 48:20.399 --> 48:23.020 [SPEAKER_06]: I am a licensed sale tech. 48:23.460 --> 48:26.541 [SPEAKER_06]: I also used to get my nails done and I was like, yeah, they just hurt. 48:28.902 --> 48:31.203 [SPEAKER_06]: I don't think that pain is necessary. 48:31.243 --> 48:46.012 [SPEAKER_06]: So I think that there is something in the process, there's a button on the lamp, I'm many lamps that graduate will cure so that you, not as in light still on so that the chemical bonding and stuff that's going on that causes it, like, won't happen as severely. 48:46.032 --> 48:56.137 [SPEAKER_06]: So less out and, too, if you are considering maintaining the medium, which is very long. 48:56.157 --> 48:57.078 [SPEAKER_06]: It's a long medium. 48:58.395 --> 49:01.537 [SPEAKER_06]: Lifestyle, I'm doing those that are live as they care. 49:01.957 --> 49:05.518 [SPEAKER_06]: There's a product, you make, it's a silicone keyboard cover. 49:06.339 --> 49:12.141 [SPEAKER_06]: The main brand one is to do tight, but I'm sure there are other similar products on the market. 49:12.502 --> 49:15.863 [SPEAKER_06]: And it essentially raises the keyboards because that keyboards totally flatten it. 49:16.323 --> 49:19.825 [SPEAKER_06]: You type very oddly, and PC1's quite tall. 49:20.465 --> 49:25.627 [SPEAKER_06]: It gives you room for the nailty sort of clipping over, and the pad that's different goes actually hit the keys. 49:27.840 --> 49:34.525 [SPEAKER_06]: And I love mine and if you don't want to sacrifice the fantasy for the typing reality, that might be a dissolution for you. 49:34.545 --> 49:40.710 [SPEAKER_06]: Yeah, I hope they don't hurt in the future because it doesn't have to. 49:42.451 --> 49:46.975 [SPEAKER_06]: And I hope you keep doing nails because it is such a fun for somebody like you. 49:47.035 --> 49:52.380 [SPEAKER_06]: You will find so many different fun inspiration kind of so sure to bring to nails that aren't just, 49:57.237 --> 50:13.628 [SPEAKER_06]: The right person would be really thrilled to bring in non-traditional and spell because, you know, we see a lot of stuff on Instagram and copycating is terrific because wow, people have done amazing stuff, but if you get an original, and it's a toothbrush, that's a yes-hand right there. 50:15.189 --> 50:17.971 [SPEAKER_06]: Okay, I'm going best for this and we have to say thank you very much, I love you guys. 50:18.306 --> 50:20.909 [SPEAKER_10]: Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, thank you for your call. 50:20.929 --> 50:24.593 [SPEAKER_10]: I feel like I got a phone call directly from some sort of manicure physicist. 50:24.653 --> 50:33.744 [SPEAKER_10]: This is blowing my mind and I appreciate it so much because I okay, so I I don't know if I'm ever going to do this again, but the problem is it looks 50:34.024 --> 50:34.944 [SPEAKER_10]: So good. 50:35.284 --> 50:43.367 [SPEAKER_10]: It looks so good when I'm like, I talk with my hands a lot and it's basically like, I like added a little like a little outfit on every single finger. 50:43.448 --> 50:50.350 [SPEAKER_10]: I just feel I feel so me with these funky goofy nails, but I cannot get anything done. 50:50.610 --> 50:55.332 [SPEAKER_10]: So I wanted to play your calls to the people know if they do choose this lifestyle like they can get a keyboard that will help them. 50:55.752 --> 51:07.338 [SPEAKER_10]: I tend to have very tense hands like the angle in which I'm typing with, aggravates my entire, like literally my entire upper body, whenever I'm typing, I am getting the nails off truly four hours after I record this. 51:07.558 --> 51:13.561 [SPEAKER_10]: I need to be, I have a work assignment that a pretty big one that I have not been able to do because of my nails. 51:13.841 --> 51:18.823 [SPEAKER_06]: So I'm like, I can kind of get these off so I can finish work, but I thank you for this because if I ever do this again, I'm going to look into that. 51:20.024 --> 51:21.585 [SPEAKER_10]: Because I really like the look of them. 51:21.605 --> 51:23.607 [SPEAKER_10]: It's fun having long nails is fun. 51:23.847 --> 51:27.129 [SPEAKER_10]: It felt so foreign and so bizarre when I got them a few weeks ago. 51:27.169 --> 51:30.352 [SPEAKER_10]: And now I think I'm going to look, I mean, I look at my hands and be like, what happened? 51:30.412 --> 51:35.055 [SPEAKER_10]: Your naked put on some clothes and also like, like, can you hear? 51:36.316 --> 51:37.517 [SPEAKER_10]: That's so pleasing. 51:37.537 --> 51:38.277 [SPEAKER_10]: That's so pleased. 51:38.297 --> 51:40.059 [SPEAKER_10]: Like adding glitter into my everyday life. 51:40.439 --> 51:41.500 [SPEAKER_10]: Um, so thank you. 51:41.780 --> 51:45.503 [SPEAKER_10]: I really, I really love them and I kind of want to do them again, but I shouldn't. 51:45.703 --> 51:46.363 [SPEAKER_10]: But maybe I can now. 51:46.403 --> 51:47.904 [SPEAKER_10]: The advice and so hopefully someone else can do. 51:50.218 --> 51:53.341 [SPEAKER_03]: Hey, Carly, it's Ali and I'm from Minnesota. 51:53.541 --> 52:07.675 [SPEAKER_03]: Thank you so much for creating a safe space for our anxious callers to practice phone calls and sleeping boys mills even though I safely hated, and I'm sure I have not alone in that. 52:08.716 --> 52:12.180 [SPEAKER_03]: I do have a question, I love our Anna, a couple of comments. 52:12.200 --> 52:13.181 [SPEAKER_03]: I love the podcast. 52:13.741 --> 52:13.761 [SPEAKER_03]: I 52:15.558 --> 52:19.061 [SPEAKER_03]: So here's my question, me and my Disney Best D.I. 52:19.081 --> 52:25.805 [SPEAKER_03]: Color are annual or semi-annual theme park attendees. 52:25.885 --> 52:31.849 [SPEAKER_03]: We go, I have my one best friend that we always go either to Florida, California, right? 52:31.869 --> 52:32.590 [SPEAKER_03]: We're in the Midwest. 52:32.630 --> 52:36.112 [SPEAKER_03]: So it kind of depends on the year, which direction that we go. 52:36.532 --> 52:41.456 [SPEAKER_03]: But this year, we are attending the D23 convention for the first time. 52:45.143 --> 52:49.946 [SPEAKER_03]: Specifically, but we are feeling overwhelmed with the unknown. 52:50.006 --> 52:58.852 [SPEAKER_03]: Obviously, we've been to the sea perks many times, and we are, you know, love to hack all of the rope drops, and all of the things every time we go. 52:59.833 --> 53:08.098 [SPEAKER_03]: But we are not really sure how the convention is going to go and are looking for any pro-tip from you or any of your friends that 53:08.768 --> 53:23.458 [SPEAKER_03]: are, you know, have attended the convention before or how it was evolved with the shopping in the Honda Center, transportation, any of that, we're planning to do half day at the convention center on Friday or three quarters of a day depending on our flight distance. 53:23.939 --> 53:34.286 [SPEAKER_03]: And then again, on Sunday, for the full day, in addition to possibly attending one or both Honda Center things on those two days. 53:34.806 --> 53:36.748 [SPEAKER_03]: And then going to Disneyland on Saturday. 53:37.597 --> 53:38.077 [SPEAKER_03]: Monday. 53:38.198 --> 53:44.663 [SPEAKER_03]: So any protests that you have for the convention really helpful, we love the podcast and thanks so much. 53:45.023 --> 53:48.646 [SPEAKER_10]: Hi, thank you so much for calling and oh my gosh, what a fun vacation. 53:48.806 --> 53:51.289 [SPEAKER_10]: I am so excited for you. 53:52.530 --> 53:55.352 [SPEAKER_10]: I didn't want to leave your, you know, your text on red. 53:55.392 --> 53:58.795 [SPEAKER_10]: I didn't want to leave your, your voice mail just sitting around waiting. 53:58.815 --> 54:01.057 [SPEAKER_10]: So I wanted to at least let, you know, kind of what's up. 54:01.497 --> 54:10.405 [SPEAKER_10]: We are in the time period before D23 before this convention where we don't have the logistical specific details yet. 54:10.465 --> 54:15.329 [SPEAKER_10]: We still don't have a schedule for what not what panel the panels are at the Honda Center. 54:15.369 --> 54:15.970 [SPEAKER_10]: Those are set. 54:16.190 --> 54:18.792 [SPEAKER_10]: We don't have the schedule for what's happening at the convention center. 54:18.872 --> 54:20.794 [SPEAKER_10]: We don't really have transportation details. 54:21.114 --> 54:26.239 [SPEAKER_10]: Those things will be coming this summer, but we don't have specifics yet. 54:26.399 --> 54:35.244 [SPEAKER_10]: So it's really tricky to discern what you're going to do with your time, which I know is hard because you're planning and you want to know where you're going to be, but we don't have that information yet. 54:35.304 --> 54:37.645 [SPEAKER_10]: We will be getting that information going forward. 54:37.745 --> 54:39.706 [SPEAKER_10]: It's just not announced yet. 54:40.006 --> 54:46.650 [SPEAKER_10]: And it frankly, it's a little tricky to figure out when you're going to want to be at the convention center because we don't know what panels are going to be there. 54:46.950 --> 54:58.139 [SPEAKER_10]: And if you're a super fan of like Marvel or Pixar or like me, the Muppets, we won't know if there's a panel that like you absolutely need to prioritize because we simply don't know what is coming it. 54:58.559 --> 54:59.420 [SPEAKER_10]: Same for shopping. 54:59.440 --> 55:06.005 [SPEAKER_10]: There's always a lot of like specific and rules and restrictions and things you got to do to be able to to buy stuff. 55:06.646 --> 55:07.687 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't have that information yet. 55:07.707 --> 55:14.192 [SPEAKER_10]: So I say that they cannot relay it to you, but don't worry whenever I know you will also know, so just keep listening to the pod. 55:14.572 --> 55:15.593 [SPEAKER_10]: Do keep in mind, though. 55:15.933 --> 55:28.019 [SPEAKER_10]: Typically, because this is a Friday through Sunday event, typically Thursday night they let media in to walk the floor to debut a lot of what is in, you know, the Walt Disney Imagining Pavilion, what are in the different stores? 55:28.379 --> 55:36.643 [SPEAKER_10]: And if you want the nitty gritty boots on the ground information, that Thursday night is probably going to be the most specific details you can get. 55:37.003 --> 55:42.166 [SPEAKER_10]: But in terms of logistics planning schedules, that will come earlier than that. 55:42.406 --> 55:44.407 [SPEAKER_10]: So just keep an eye out and you will know. 55:44.867 --> 55:53.270 [SPEAKER_10]: What I can tell you is that it is all overwhelming, even though they may be changing stuff this year, it's all overwhelming. 55:53.510 --> 56:08.635 [SPEAKER_10]: But if there's like stuff you want to see that isn't merchandise, like I said the Walt Disney Imagineering Pavilion, that's something that I feel like probably on the last day, on Sunday is going to be easier to get into, because keep in mind. 56:09.295 --> 56:14.361 [SPEAKER_10]: Last year's the first, I'm sorry, two years ago when they shifted the event to also take place at Honda Center. 56:14.401 --> 56:25.553 [SPEAKER_10]: That was the first time that they moved these panels and these big panels, you know, Disney Entertainment, Disney experiences legends, those are panels that you'd take place during the day inside the convention center. 56:25.573 --> 56:26.834 [SPEAKER_10]: So it has shift 56:27.014 --> 56:29.335 [SPEAKER_10]: did the traffic flow a lot. 56:29.635 --> 56:34.237 [SPEAKER_10]: But this time in 2026, the Disney Legends panel is not at night. 56:34.597 --> 56:35.597 [SPEAKER_10]: It is during the day. 56:35.857 --> 56:39.278 [SPEAKER_10]: So when that is happening Sunday morning around 10 a.m. 56:39.319 --> 56:42.280 [SPEAKER_10]: I believe, there's going to be a lot of people who are going to be there. 56:42.380 --> 56:44.941 [SPEAKER_10]: So Sunday, I mean, I'm not entirely sure. 56:45.001 --> 56:45.741 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just betting. 56:45.761 --> 56:46.501 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm just guessing. 56:46.961 --> 56:49.042 [SPEAKER_10]: Sunday is probably going to be one of the 56:51.723 --> 57:02.815 [SPEAKER_10]: And keep in mind, if you are not going to the Honda Center, they did sell this year, they introduced a ticket for afternoons at like an afternoon, only convention center pass. 57:02.916 --> 57:05.799 [SPEAKER_10]: If you don't know what D23 is, this sounds like gibberish. 57:06.159 --> 57:09.363 [SPEAKER_10]: But basically, last time when they introduced Honda Center, 57:09.603 --> 57:15.187 [SPEAKER_10]: In the afternoon, everyone left the convention center and went to the Honda Center and there were in the money people left at the convention center. 57:15.327 --> 57:16.968 [SPEAKER_10]: Now they have an afternoon only pass. 57:16.988 --> 57:20.690 [SPEAKER_10]: So I do think that traffic will be leveled out there so there will still be people around. 57:21.010 --> 57:23.612 [SPEAKER_10]: But I feel like Sunday morning might be the time. 57:24.187 --> 57:29.590 [SPEAKER_10]: might be the time to get in and go to the convention center to get things done. 57:30.370 --> 57:39.055 [SPEAKER_10]: That's said, if you, I'm not sure but you have a ticket you have from your call, but if you do have access to the Honda Center, that is the big show. 57:39.135 --> 57:41.997 [SPEAKER_10]: That's where you're going to see all the trailers from the new movies. 57:42.017 --> 57:43.938 [SPEAKER_10]: That's where celebrities are going to come out on stage. 57:43.958 --> 57:46.379 [SPEAKER_10]: That's where we're going to get all of the theme park news. 57:46.859 --> 57:50.383 [SPEAKER_10]: And I would, if you have access to them, I would choose what matters most to you. 57:50.664 --> 57:53.106 [SPEAKER_10]: Like, do you want to see Bob Iger accept an award? 57:53.507 --> 57:58.513 [SPEAKER_10]: Or do you want to be in the room when they finally announce insert ride that we've always wanted here? 57:58.573 --> 57:59.194 [SPEAKER_10]: You know what I mean? 57:59.474 --> 58:02.017 [SPEAKER_10]: Like, it's up to you what you want to experience. 58:02.357 --> 58:06.720 [SPEAKER_10]: Um, I usually attend the entertainment panel on Friday for work. 58:07.000 --> 58:09.041 [SPEAKER_10]: But if you're like, I'll see these trailers on YouTube. 58:09.141 --> 58:12.443 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't need to see, uh, who Lin Manuel Miranda. 58:12.463 --> 58:14.725 [SPEAKER_10]: I feel like he's the only one who could bet on because he's going to be a legend. 58:14.745 --> 58:16.126 [SPEAKER_10]: Like, well, it's just a mess. 58:16.146 --> 58:19.828 [SPEAKER_10]: Just imagine he has a project on the Friday that he will be on stage for. 58:20.188 --> 58:22.990 [SPEAKER_10]: Um, if, if that's something that excites you, I would plan around that. 58:23.050 --> 58:26.292 [SPEAKER_10]: But really, we just got to put a pin in it because we don't know yet. 58:26.712 --> 58:35.000 [SPEAKER_10]: All that is to say we will be doing a D23 preview episode the week before the convention before the expo so stay tuned for that. 58:35.061 --> 58:42.148 [SPEAKER_10]: It'll hopefully have all that information and also a lot of me guessing what they might announce because there's going to be so much music comes out of this thing. 58:42.748 --> 58:47.671 [SPEAKER_10]: And I will tell you, it is nice that at the convention center you can get snacks, you can get snacks. 58:48.031 --> 58:50.012 [SPEAKER_10]: So before you couldn't have snacks, I couldn't have snacks. 58:50.112 --> 58:52.173 [SPEAKER_10]: You can just like, they literally sell Mickey pretzels. 58:52.193 --> 58:56.835 [SPEAKER_10]: Like you can eat a Mickey pretzels as Josh Marm's on stage telling you about how you can spend your vacation in two to six years. 58:56.855 --> 58:57.676 [SPEAKER_10]: And that's kind of fun. 58:58.896 --> 59:19.329 [SPEAKER_10]: It's got a fun, yeah, so stay tuned, have so much fun, and then in terms of going to the park, it is, it's a wild, busy weekend, so please don't over commit yourself, like make sure you have water, make sure you're not overextending your energy level, there is a lot going on, so maybe just prioritize the stuff that is most important to you. 59:20.229 --> 59:21.870 [SPEAKER_10]: Okay, and can we free a trip? 59:21.890 --> 59:22.631 [SPEAKER_10]: Hopefully I'll see you there! 59:38.821 --> 59:53.870 [SPEAKER_07]: Hey, Carly, this is Courtney from St. Louis, I was just calling after listening to all of your dollywood episodes which I love and I just recently told my husband, hey, the first time I thought about going to dollywood because I think we should go and he kind of role design that me, but I'm going to keep working on it. 59:54.608 --> 01:00:08.957 [SPEAKER_07]: But I was calling because today is my daughter, Charlotte's third birthday, and we got an email from Dolly part in her imagination library, and I was just wondering if you had pearls signed up for her imagination library. 01:00:08.977 --> 01:00:10.038 [SPEAKER_07]: I think that's what it's called now. 01:00:10.058 --> 01:00:10.998 [SPEAKER_07]: I'm starting to get to myself. 01:00:11.859 --> 01:00:15.221 [SPEAKER_07]: But she sends a book to your child once a month. 01:00:15.241 --> 01:00:17.402 [SPEAKER_07]: I think it took her like five or so, maybe. 01:00:17.422 --> 01:00:20.504 [SPEAKER_07]: I know Missouri just thought it within the last few years, 01:00:23.647 --> 01:00:32.491 [SPEAKER_07]: We now have my son signed up for it, he's four months old, so, you know, books or what they are in a four month old, but it's still fun going to the mailbox and getting them. 01:00:32.511 --> 01:00:41.635 [SPEAKER_07]: Sometimes we end up with two because I check our mail so, and frequently, not sure if California has it, but didn't know if some of your other listeners knew about it. 01:00:42.055 --> 01:00:44.276 [SPEAKER_07]: I just think it's such a fun, fun thing. 01:00:44.296 --> 01:00:51.439 [SPEAKER_07]: I had a friend tell me about it when I was pregnant, and like I said, now it's so fun to just go to the mailbox and there's something addressed to you and your child. 01:00:53.407 --> 01:00:57.789 [SPEAKER_08]: They get to add it to their collection that I think every child has in love. 01:00:58.169 --> 01:01:05.433 [SPEAKER_07]: Anyway, it's such a fun to share that, uh, love the podcast and can't wait to hear the review you have for the new month of coasters. 01:01:05.633 --> 01:01:06.373 [SPEAKER_07]: All right. 01:01:06.393 --> 01:01:07.514 [SPEAKER_07]: Bye. 01:01:07.534 --> 01:01:10.435 [SPEAKER_10]: Hi, thank you so much to this call because I don't know. 01:01:10.455 --> 01:01:11.796 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't know why I didn't do this. 01:01:11.976 --> 01:01:21.641 [SPEAKER_10]: I so many times have been like, wow, Dolly Parton's imagination library is given millions of books to children for getting that like, I am a person who has a child. 01:01:21.661 --> 01:01:24.203 [SPEAKER_10]: Like, I should look into this for myself. 01:01:24.603 --> 01:01:25.143 [UNKNOWN]: I don't even think. 01:01:25.363 --> 01:01:25.723 [SPEAKER_10]: about it. 01:01:26.204 --> 01:01:28.745 [SPEAKER_10]: Um, I don't know why I thought it was like, I was not invited. 01:01:28.805 --> 01:01:30.606 [SPEAKER_10]: Now, in Antibide, was not invited. 01:01:30.626 --> 01:01:34.449 [SPEAKER_10]: Um, I went on the imagination library website, which I opened the show notes. 01:01:34.809 --> 01:01:39.311 [SPEAKER_10]: I put in my address, and I put in my mom's address, and both our areas where they don't currently offer this. 01:01:39.692 --> 01:01:43.594 [SPEAKER_10]: But it's so cool that you're like low key getting educational mail from 01:01:45.395 --> 01:02:01.189 [SPEAKER_10]: Like we really like don't dolly is so synonymous with so many things these days that I just like what what would the one with the modern day example of that be like what what would it be like serena carpenter wants to make sure that my child 01:02:02.070 --> 01:02:25.107 [SPEAKER_10]: is literate like it's just so random and you have to leave hard and just keep on serving the communities and the communities of the country um if you have children you want to take in this definitely check out that website and see if it's available in an area near you because I think it would just be so cool and as someone who has been reading a pop a troll book for the last two weeks and whose mood is deeply suffering from it because I'll tell you guys 01:02:25.953 --> 01:02:31.616 [SPEAKER_10]: They're not working real hard on the plot lines in the Paw Patrol anthology book. 01:02:32.297 --> 01:02:34.358 [SPEAKER_10]: Okay, there's a lot going on. 01:02:34.598 --> 01:02:41.783 [SPEAKER_10]: There's at one and then in where there's like a bunch of leaves under the sewers and they all light on fire. 01:02:41.863 --> 01:02:46.906 [SPEAKER_10]: So there's a fire brewing under adventure bay, which Pearl tells me is not where they live, but like that's where the whole book is set. 01:02:47.106 --> 01:02:47.886 [SPEAKER_10]: I don't understand. 01:02:48.006 --> 01:02:48.887 [SPEAKER_10]: I've never seen this show. 01:02:49.247 --> 01:02:56.091 [SPEAKER_10]: And so they lied them on fire and then everyone has a team up to put the fire out and then they have a barbecue party at a firehouse I'm so tired. 01:02:56.231 --> 01:03:15.183 [SPEAKER_10]: I could recite this book line from line and I'm so tired of it and like the idea that I could run to my mailbox one day Hair blowing in the wind and dolly part and could save me from this torture that I'm living I'm enticed and I'm grateful for dolly and for your call for telling all of us about this Check it out and thank you and enjoy Okay, bye 01:03:16.811 --> 01:03:22.132 [SPEAKER_05]: Carly, you know how when your mom would say, you know, I'm not, I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed. 01:03:22.732 --> 01:03:30.714 [SPEAKER_05]: Rio del Campo, the frickin' Mexico ride, no one better lay a frickin' finger on that thing. 01:03:31.194 --> 01:03:39.135 [SPEAKER_05]: The vibes, even with chaotic cartoon overlay, which I don't need, that ride brings me joy 01:03:44.422 --> 01:04:11.090 [SPEAKER_05]: I am so glad there is just nowhere to put a more popular ride there just in order to put the people you know Coco of course that makes sense the best they could do was like a diorama in the lobby and that probably was still to put a festive version of small worlds they get back with back to the pure like educational elements where we just slowly go to the Caballeros the three Caballeros they say there were birds of the feather that's 01:04:14.502 --> 01:04:19.264 [SPEAKER_05]: has to be in conversation for the best or an album on Disney property. 01:04:20.545 --> 01:04:30.029 [SPEAKER_05]: I forgive you and I don't forgive Mahal and Canyon for having bad reception and T-label for being a lacklustre service even this many years into it. 01:04:30.209 --> 01:04:33.510 [SPEAKER_05]: They have not up their game and I respect them for that. 01:04:34.051 --> 01:04:35.191 [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, love the pod. 01:04:35.471 --> 01:04:37.312 [SPEAKER_05]: Sorry about the tone of this. 01:04:37.372 --> 01:04:41.034 [SPEAKER_05]: Generally, I like keeping the extremely positive but you came from my baby. 01:04:41.514 --> 01:04:42.454 [SPEAKER_05]: You've kicked it in the shins. 01:04:45.328 --> 01:04:47.009 [SPEAKER_05]: and just I could abide by that. 01:04:47.249 --> 01:04:48.470 [SPEAKER_05]: Love you so much otherwise. 01:04:48.910 --> 01:04:53.632 [SPEAKER_05]: And I decided to hear a further hot take hopefully they don't stab me in the heart like this. 01:04:53.973 --> 01:04:58.855 [SPEAKER_05]: Anyways, okay, take care and I will be listening. 01:04:58.895 --> 01:04:59.675 [SPEAKER_05]: That sounds like it's right. 01:04:59.756 --> 01:05:00.976 [SPEAKER_05]: Okay, it's not okay, bye. 01:05:01.456 --> 01:05:05.418 [SPEAKER_10]: Driving through L.A. scolding me isn't iconic moment for the two of us. 01:05:05.498 --> 01:05:12.102 [SPEAKER_10]: I want you to know that even though I received your call in a different time from when you called it in, we shared something together here in Los Angeles. 01:05:13.842 --> 01:05:33.737 [SPEAKER_10]: Because driving don't move home like if you drive down like a big wide DLA road like you've got to be listening to something good like the music's got to hit the podcast has to hit and to be like listening and be like absolutely not when you were in your phone You like pick up your phone like that is what people used to be on car phones years ago yelling about Probably like Jaws or something like major movies. 01:05:34.057 --> 01:05:39.702 [SPEAKER_10]: We should be using our phones and LA to just talk about things like this and while I can't say you're wrong 01:05:40.402 --> 01:05:41.564 [SPEAKER_10]: I cannot say you're wrong. 01:05:41.684 --> 01:05:45.248 [SPEAKER_10]: I can only receive the critique, like I am someone standing at the desk. 01:05:45.569 --> 01:05:49.453 [SPEAKER_10]: I guess relations it doesn't even someone's demanding a refund because they're balloon popped. 01:05:49.754 --> 01:05:52.457 [SPEAKER_10]: Like, I truly, I'm receiving the information you're giving me. 01:05:53.018 --> 01:05:55.861 [SPEAKER_10]: And unlike the balloon example, you're not, I get it. 01:05:55.901 --> 01:05:56.662 [SPEAKER_10]: You're not wrong. 01:05:57.123 --> 01:05:58.204 [SPEAKER_10]: And I apologize. 01:05:58.945 --> 01:06:13.680 [SPEAKER_10]: I was told a long long time ago that like one of like the like someone higher up in Disney like one of their pieces of advice and thing they always said was that everything here is somebody's favorite and I should have known that this would be somebody who listened to my best favorite now I do think he makes him great points. 01:06:14.381 --> 01:06:21.943 [SPEAKER_10]: Which were also made in the night of us so that yeah, yeah, it would be really hard to switch out that boat ride But if they got it, they got a plus it. 01:06:21.983 --> 01:06:27.324 [SPEAKER_10]: They got to make a little better keep in mind in recent memory I'm just gonna I'm just gonna emphasize. 01:06:27.484 --> 01:06:29.924 [SPEAKER_10]: I'm gonna emphasize in recent memory. 01:06:30.104 --> 01:06:37.146 [SPEAKER_10]: Okay, they replaced one of the characters on the ride with a friggin plant with 01:06:38.006 --> 01:06:40.187 [SPEAKER_10]: A plant and a sombrero. 01:06:40.387 --> 01:06:43.788 [SPEAKER_10]: Okay, so that is kind of what Disney things of the ride is. 01:06:44.088 --> 01:06:48.790 [SPEAKER_10]: We don't even need to put a character here, just put a plant. 01:06:49.230 --> 01:06:53.851 [SPEAKER_10]: So I'm kind of seeing the writing on the
