🚨 Big Disneyland Changes Ahead? Destination D23 Reveals + Rumors

00:00:04Welcome to this happy place. Welcome. Hey guys, it's Tim, and welcome to episode 119 of the Dreaming of Disney podcast. I'm with my beautiful wife, Audrey Anne. We are almost to that 120. We are almost out of the team. 120 baby OH. Oh gosh, you guys, Tim has been out of control with the dad jokes lately. I think it's his, it's his last year in his 30s and I think he's just, he's crossing over. Living up Now I just need to get some big chunky New Balance dad sneakers. New Balance, some tube socks. Some more like Hawaiian button down shirts or. They go to shop at Tommy Bahamas.

00:01:02And it's funny, I did tell you this, but my mom text me today and she sent me a picture, picture of some Nikes and it was by dad's. It's like your dad is has these Nikes. He's only wore them three times or a size 11. Do you think Jack would like them? Or they're going to, they're going to Goodwill. Look at the picture. They're like big chunky old man. You're I don't know if your parents listen. But I want to say old man but it just. You're getting a phone call tomorrow. Just very big chunky walking Nikes. Jack.

00:01:50Jack does like Nikes. Yeah, I know. But. Very different from what he's wearing, I said. He probably wouldn't like those, but I'll ask him. I forgot to ask him, but you. Want your grandpa shoes? Anyways, if you haven't been joining our TikTok journey, seemed like we've been giving that a lot more attention than really anything else lately. It's a weird thing that I've stumbled into I. Know you've really kind of embraced it. Well, I yeah, I don't know. You know, I mean no offense to those of you who. And you don't have to spell. Things I was just about to. You can actually say the words.

00:02:41I know OK, so no offense to those of you I was about to spell follow follow us on Instagram. I appreciate every single 900 and something of you, but I haven't even checked it in a long. Time, it's like, yeah, 956, it has not grown. Like we have been well I OK the last couple months we haven't been trying to grow Instagram at all. But I went on my solo trip a year ago where I bought. Oh wow. I went in September where I bought a pin. Oh, excuse me, I wasn't supposed I it was a surprise gift. No, I think I said 24 and we had something else. We still have something else for

00:03:23a giveaway when we hit 1000 followers. That was a year ago and we were in the and then we were in the 9 hundreds. We weren't that far away. It's not like, oh, we don't we were at 500. No, we were in the 9 hundreds. And so then when we went to Disney World in January, you started TikTok for our for this, for dreaming to Disney. And by June, May, maybe without even really doing much on it, we put we would you posted a lot when we were there. Yeah. But then we didn't really do much on it for a few months. And then in like May, we had 1000 followers on TikTok. Yeah, just a few months. And so mid-july, so it's August

00:04:1331st today, mid-july, I kind of took over yeah and started doing more. We were at 1000, I think 84. And tonight we will probably hit 6000 followers. Yeah, it's just in like a month and a half. It's crazy. And yeah, it's people just in, it's just a, it is a completely different. Platform. Platform like it is, the way it works is completely different. I'm right 'cause I first got TikTok because I was trying to get into the Amazon. Do you hear that? Yes, the kids are watching a movie downstairs. OK, what is that? What are they watching? Spider man into spider verse or

00:05:00the second one? I forgot the second. 1 Oh, but I was trying to get into Amazon. The thing that I do affiliate and I so I just got TikTok. I didn't like I didn't want to get a TikTok, but I was trying to get into this and it was like, this is the way to go about it, which it was. I got it. But so if you don't know you guys, we have a whole list on Amazon. If you go to our Amazon of of it's actually not dreaming in Disney, we should add the link to it because I I have a park list of things of things that we like to take and. We can make one for a TikTok shop too. Yeah, affiliate link of of everything.

00:05:46Like Park Essentials, yeah. But anyways, when I got I was just like, what the heck? How does this work? Or like, I don't know it, it's like it's not just like, oh, you know how like Facebook and Instagram are different and like a lot of the ways they work are very different, but like kind of the same. Kind of the same. You're both based on posts and like posting pictures and just yeah. Not TikTok, no it is so different and then so now I have stumbled onto TikTok lives and I am a live host. Who would have thought like. It and it, but it's all people who love Disney and we always talk about Disney, Disney, Disney, yeah, but it's it's

00:06:28weird. It's weird and it wasn't intentional. It just kind of happened. It's. Just like TikTok is more of a like gamify type social media. What if I? Gamify it's like like a game, you know, you have points and you you know at least for on the live. On the live side. Live side of it isn't just like, hey, we're going live, we're going to talk about it's like. Oh my gosh. Whole other world. Well, and that's what I thought because like, I stumbled upon some other people who like Disney and their page wasn't just Disney, but they had it in their profile that they love

00:07:07Disney, you know, and then they would go live. And so I'd be like, what are they talking about? And I keep saying it, but it is one of the most true things I've ever said, that listening to them talk. And then there's also battles that different live hosts will do. And listening to them talk about these things is like in friends the game Bamboozled, that Joey is going to host the TV game show Bamboozled. It is like that. If you know what I'm talking about, then you know, you're just like, what in the world? So I was just, I just told Tim, I just told you. I was like, hey, like, I think we can go live because we've got

00:07:43all this past content on our, from our podcast that we could like go live talking about. We could rank our top five rides, but then kind of have a conversation back and forth with the people in our lives. And so we did one and you didn't really want to do it. You're like. But then we had a really good time. Yeah, it turned into something, really. Cool. And then so then I started doing it during the week, what they call engaging lives where it's just people coming into your room trying to grow, like trying to meet other people that they want to follow. They want them to follow them Like, and like, it's because the

00:08:20name Disney is in our name. It's we've had one person come in that wasn't a Disney fan and they were just being mean. But like, it's all Disney fans like, because I'm like, why would you like stop and look, Billy, if you didn't like Disney, you know? So most of the people come in and are like, Oh my gosh, I'm going to Disneyland next week. I'm leaving tomorrow on a cruise. I'm in Magic Kingdom right now like. Yeah. And. When I find like, you know, because TikTok you can be in in your for you page or yeah, for you, but your FYP is what they call it, which is like your your main feed, your scrolling feed.

00:09:00You can get stuff that was posted, you know, 30 seconds ago to things that was posted six months. Ago, which is so annoying because a lot of times there's no date. Sometimes there's a date. Sometimes your date, sometimes. There's not a date and I'm like when. Was this? Yeah, and so is you. You get a random, it's not linear. Yeah, and spell with Instagram, it's not linear like it. Used. It used to be. But it's more in the moment. Instagram is more in the moment. You have your stories, which you kind of post like in the moment type stuff.

00:09:32Your usually your feed on Instagram only goes back only like a few days before it stops serving you new stuff. So it's, you know, it's so TikTok is more the type of content you put on. There is more Evergreen stuff that you don't want to expire or seem out of date. Right. Except a lot of people do. They're like, use this trending audio and then you go back and you're like, this was three months ago. And so whereas Instagram is much more, you know, in the moment news and updates and, and things that are happening now. So that's where I'm getting with this. It's just like, I don't think we're fully going to, we're not

00:10:17going to ban it Instagram because we do when we go to the parks, when we, we're going to up, probably update Instagram more than we are going to do TikTok. Yeah, because they don't have things. I mean, they do have stories, but people aren't in their stories like they are in Instagram on Instagram. And that is something that I miss. I mean, we really only active in our stories on Instagram when we're at the park. I have another account that I was more active in day-to-day, but I haven't even been on my Instagram in like 2 months. I just, I well, and I, I, I did this before years ago, like 8 years.

00:10:56It was actually like 8 years ago. We had moved like to a different city and I really missed friends and stuff from where we lived. And I was like, I need to focus on being where we are now. And so I was like, you know, I'm just going to take a break for a month and I ended up taking a break for like 8 months on Instagram. And that's kind of what I, what didn't even mean to take a break from Instagram. I, we went out of town and so I just wasn't on Instagram and then I started doing like TikTok stuff and I'm like, yeah, no, I don't even, I don't miss it. So I am going to keep this little break going like because I, yeah, I don't know. Yeah.

00:11:35But anyways, none of this is what we were going to talk. About No, it was not. But if you are on TikTok and you, I can't believe it because up until a little over a year ago, I was like TikTok. Like, yeah, well, there's some, there's some bad sides to it and there's, you know, you know, just with any social media. There's which we have made a very Disney friend. Yeah, because most people that follow us are Disney fans and you know, so not all, but you know, so. Yeah, it's just crazy that it's like when we post something on Instagram, it's just like it goes nowhere. It probably because we're not very active on it and so we're trying to be active on it.

00:12:19It's not going to do anything because we're not active on the platform. But we used to be, we used to be active. Yeah, but we aren't now. No, not now. That's why I'm. Saying like it when, but even it was starting to it was starting harder to find a new audience. Yes, on Instagram and it was just like nothing was was working. And so yeah, anyways, what were we going to talk about? You had some rumors. Oh yeah, and there's also the the D destined destination D 23 was this weekend as well, which is kind of like a a mini D23 in Orlando. They don't do like big huge announcements, but there were

00:13:07some announcements too. I guess I could start with that. Yeah, start with that 'cause I don't know them. So so yeah, Destination D23. This all come from Disney park to blog, so starting in this did not give a date. Tron in Disney World in Tron in Shanghai. They're getting a new overlay with the new Tron movie that's coming out. There's a Neutron. Oh, I didn't know there was a neutron. I've never seen Tron. I've never. Seen any of the Tron movies that I didn't see the original ones and I haven't seen the new ones, but there's a new Tron coming out with the Jared Leto, Leto Leto Leto, Jared Leto.

00:13:57OK, so September 15th. So the the the current like light scheme is like it's like blue and orange. Yeah, the lights, yeah, that this one's going to be red, I think red and blue to kind of go with the what the theme of the movie. So September 15th, so that's coming. So they're doing kind of a new overlay for that one. I was I was the one thing that I was bummed about Tron one with a lot of people said I remember is that it's it's a short ride and I remember wanting to write it so badly at night because of the lights, but you were only outside for like. At the. Very beginning seconds like, and yeah, because I remember

00:14:43thinking like, oh, like I think we even bought it because we, we got like a virtual when you and I first went, not first went just me and you. I mean, and then we also, I think bought it because I really wanted to write it at night because we hadn't been on it yet at all. So I thought it was going to be like that you were outside more than you actually are. So like the lighting, you kind of you enjoy it more when you're just outside of the ride waiting, because when you're actually on the ride, you're on the outside for a few seconds. There's a new Disneyland documentary that's coming out. It's called. Disneyland. I'm excited about this.

00:15:19Called Disneyland handcrafted, so it's by the same filmmaker who did the Imagineering story on Disney Plus. So it's all using the original film that Walt Disney had documented when they was building Disneyland. So a lot of this. It's 9:00. Oh, a lot of this hasn't been seen before. Yeah, I'm really excited and well, and I'm on like a a Disney documentary kick because last weekend I pulled a muscle in my neck really bad and I wasn't able to move really for a couple of days. So thankfully it was a weekend and you were home and I sat in bed and watched Howard, which is about Howard Ashman, the lyricist for Little Mermaid,

00:16:11meeting the beast Aladdin. I watched Waking Sleeping Beauty, which I realized a couple minutes into it that I had already watched it, but watched it again. I started to watch the all Frankie and Ollie like the old school animators. So I'm like Disney documentary kick right now. So I'm like, oh, when does that come out? Did they? Say it's coming out this winter. They didn't give a specific date yet, but that's coming to Disney Plus, another one which I find is interesting. So obviously Walt Disney and Magical Life came out during the 70th at Disneyland. The whole new Walt Disney animatronic coming off of that.

00:16:56We have not seen that yet. We. Have not seen it yet. There's a lot of people who love it, a lot of people that hate it. So it's very divisive. But coming off of that, they announced that they're doing an update to Carousel Progress at Magic Kingdom, and they're doing a new intro to the Carousel Progress with a Walt Disney animatronic. Which is kind of, well, I mean, I guess it's not odd. It's not odd because there's video of him talking about Disney World and Epcot and all that but he never. He died before. He died before it opened. But I mean, that's, that's not really weird.

00:17:34It's still his idea, but he was. Very involved in the planning. Yes, I mean it was still he talked about I've caught you know and all that, but but they're they're die hard fans for Carousel of Progress. And then I could see and but like I kind of because it is very dated, but I kind of liked that about it because it kind of felt like I'm back in the 90s like. And they are updating the scenes with the same character. So same characters OK updating some of the scenes. I wonder are they going to bring it up to date? I would assume so. Well, that would be interesting too, but I'm sure there's going to be people that are. But I wonder if this is going to

00:18:12give Disney the opportunity to fix some of the things that people had criticized about a magical life. Some were saying that like it doesn't look like Walt Disney at all. Like, well, yeah, it's not. Walt Disney. Yeah, I know. But so, yeah. So that. Have you ever made a animatronic? Then maybe you don't complain. I was like. Come on guys, like. You think it's easy? Just some other things. Those were kind of like the biggest the biggest news. They're they're taking back the colors of Cinderellas Castle. Yes, but you.

00:18:49Know what's funny because you just told me this I don't know maybe a week ago or so it was probably on TikTok. I saw someone saying like I missed the old colors of Cinderella's castle. Yeah, I've you and I first went during the 50th. Yeah. So it was all like multi color. It was beautiful. Like it was all iridescent, beautiful colors. And then we've been twice after and it's the colors that it is. What is it like pink and blue? Similar to the Sleeping Beauty to. Sleeping Beauty. I think it looks great. I don't know any different. OK, so I was curious because I've, I've seen it of course,

00:19:27like on pictures. So I just looked it up and yeah, honestly I like it better now. Yeah, it's very boring and flat. It's very flat. It's just like grey and blue. Yeah. And then you said you read the like the reasoning more like Cinderella colors. More like Cinderella's colors. It's the original color scheme of the castle and the the way they described it is as having more, you know, Grays and Blues and also creams. So it it'd probably be a little. Probably be a little bit more. A little updated. But it's just the the pinks and the purples. It's just so pretty the way it is now, especially at night. Yeah, but all right, we'll see.

00:20:13So yeah, there was the castle. There was one other thing that was they're going to be reopening Napa Rose restaurant at Disneyland at Grand California, and it's been closed for a while because they're doing like a reimagining. So they're having like an updated outdoor space, some updates on the villains land and then yeah, then the the, the updating castle. OK, I just see like I don't I think this might be like their concept art for it and that does that does look better than what it was. So I'm sure like we've talked about, except for the getting rid of early entry and free fast pass, a lot of times when they reimagine things, it is better than it was except for those two

00:21:04things. We will not go. No, I don't want to go into it. I'm going to get too. Much I'm just I'm not going to talk about it, but I'm going to mention it because I got a notification on Instagram rope dropping knowledge. They tagged us Brian and Tracy. How? Are they? We haven't talked to them in a long time. I know. I think they they haven't been as regular doing their podcasts. Kind of like all of us. We all kind of like the same. They all kind of started in the same. In the same time same. Time many have dropping off. Dropping.

00:21:39Dropping, dropping off. Someone asked me in one of my lives the other day, they have a podcast and they were like, we just started where I can't remember how many in, you know, And I was like, oh, that's so cool. You know, I don't know. They're like, how many do you have? And I was like, I don't know, 100 and something. I was like, we should have more. And I was just saying I was like, we kind of, we started during a pandemic when, you know, I was like, my husband is still working from home. We just had more time. We weren't going out and doing things like our kids were also younger and not doing things, you know, And so it's just like

00:22:10life is busier now. People weren't as busy, so it was like. It was a way to pass the time. A lot of people got into podcasting that passed the time and now everybody's kind of back to normal life now. And, and let's, you know, people have kind of stopped doing the podcasting thing. But but yeah, they, they, Brian and Tracy, they, they tagged us because they did an episode all about and about it. They made mention of the, the post that I made where I got to the car and I had to like vent during work about this stupid decision. But anyways, so yeah, we, I, that there one day at work. I should have been working. I should have been working, but

00:23:06I wasn't. I was on YouTube and this video came up about Disneyland forward like what's what, what are the rumors as far as what's going to be coming to Disneyland in the next, you know, 10 plus years. And so the, the, the, the idea of the video was, why does it seem like Disney's Asian parks get all the high tech rides and experiences way before Disney's American parks, specifically Disneyland, Disneyland, Disney World are only American parks. But specifically even like Disneyland, why doesn't Disneyland get a lot of these things that all these other parks get? And so it kind of went into the the idea like, you know, Disney's Tokyo Sea are no Disney Sea, Tokyo's Disney Sea.

00:24:10I think that's the. I have no idea. Disney Sea in Tokyo, it's like one of the most advanced theme parks in the entire world. And why does it seem like other than Shanghai, you have, you know, the the Pirates of the Caribbean ride, which is one of the most amazing boat rides and how it goes forwards and backwards and up and down. And it's like, how do they do this and all the technology? And then you have Frozen Land and Tokyo. You have Zootopia in Shanghai that just opened. Come on and come on guys. And you have, you know, the new Tangled ride and how it's much different than all the other, you know, newer rides. There's a Beauty and the Beast

00:25:01one too. There's a Beauty and the Beast one in Can't. Remember where that is? Hong Kong. Hong Kong, which has like one of the most like technically advanced special effects where like where beast like transforms back into what's his name. Prince Adam. Prince Adam. They never say it in the movie. I don't know how we all know this. But and so like, how did they get all these amazing effects and technology before coming to United States? Or if they ever do come to United States, one of the reasons is why these Asian parks are not fully owned by Disney. Like they, they have the, the

00:25:48Land Management companies that actually manage the theme parks. Disney owns the, the intellectual property and then the movies and all that kind of stuff. So they license all that to these management, Land Management companies that manage the parks. But the what it is is that these companies ask Disney to develop these rides for them. So Disney is under contract by these management companies in Asia saying we want you to build, say let's say Tron, for example, because I came to Shanghai first before I came to Magic Kingdom. We want you to create a roller coaster that's like Tron where you're riding a motorcycle. We will go under contract with

00:26:38you. You will. We will pay you to develop, research and build it, and then we get to have exclusive rights of having that right here in Shanghai Disney. Well, but that's not exclusive. Anymore, well, it's not because under these contracts they have an exclusivity clause, meaning it's going to be exclusive for. X amount of. Time before it can go to Disney's fully owned American parks. So why that is, is that Disney can then develop these technologically advanced rides and experiences for free. They're being paid to do this. They're not using their own money so they can go all out. They can do use the latest

00:27:23technology, figure these things out that have never been done before because they're being paid to do it. Now once this, the exclusivity goes away, say it's 1015 years. They now have that amount of time of research and development and data of people's experiences writing these rights. And so now then when they can now bring those to the United States, they have all this to where they can develop these rights better, faster and cheaper. And so that allows them to do all this and not have to come up with something new because they already did it. So it's much more economically friendly for the company to be able to do these in the United States.

00:28:15So that's why you see all these, you know, you see, you know, these new parks like, you know, Frozen and Zootopia and, and all these different rides that use of technology like say, for instance, the Pirates right in Shanghai. So the rumor is for Avatar Land coming to California Adventure, it's going to be a boat ride, but it's not going to be like Knobby River Journey, obviously. It's boycott. It's going to be a they then. They've teased it already. Disney has teased it. It's going to be a water boat ride like nothing they have ever done before. So then it won't be like pirates in Shanghai because they've done it. Well, they've done it, but it's

00:28:59going to be a similar technology they view. They developed this technology in Shanghai and now they know how to do it better, faster and cheaper. I hope it's more. I hope it's kind of like intense. It has to be. Like if it's because Flight of Passage is like it is and it's not like it's not like a roller coaster. It's an experience, but it's not a ride through. It's not like a boat ride, you know, it's like it's you get, you could get the butterflies and stuff even though you're not moving that much. It's kind of crazy. But anyways. Yeah, so.

00:29:42Then you hear they have Flight of Passage in Animal Kingdom, which is incredible. And then they're like, we're bringing a boat ride and you're like, because a lot of people aren't happy about Avatar coming in because it has nothing to do with Disney and they're taking something Disney out, which is lame. There was something else you said. There was a rumor. So the other rumor is that there's two new areas coming to Disneyland and California Adventure Disneyland, the frozen land. Oh my gosh, it's going to be coming to Disneyland as part of Disneyland forward tease me. So where this you? I mean this is all.

00:30:35Rumors. And hypothesizing and theories, but his judgement, you know, or judgement or his his ideas make sense. So, well then they probably won't happen because hello, they're taking away early entry. So there's an area next to Matterhorn. It's right by, you know, the monorail goes right by. It's like along the path where you're going along Matterhorn into Tomorrowland. Right. So if you're going into Tomorrowland, it's going to be on your left. Yes, so, yes, that area. So that's, you know, you there's, so if you're walking from small world and there's that raised area, you have to

00:31:19like the steps. Yeah. And then behind there is like a little lagoon, like a, a water area and there's kind of like a a pathway that goes out in the middle of of that water and just like some tables and chairs and stuff like that. That used to be a boat ride like a like a like a bumper boats type ride in Disneyland. I was thinking boat ride like. Like the Storybook? Yeah, no. It's like a bumper boats type thing. I'm going to. Say I might remember that and I'm going to look it up and it'll be like it closed in the 70s. So the the theory is that Frozen Land will go right there as not

00:32:05part of Fantasyland, but as its own area. Kind of similar to like Galaxy's Edge has its own. Doesn't it seem like it's that big? Like there's a lot of trees over there? There's backstage over there because you think of like the, the if you then you go up and around the small world side. That's where the parade comes out. So we don't really know what's back there. Yeah, so. Then there's Harbor Blvd. Yeah. And, and I can't remember his exact reasoning, but it just, it made sense to be right there because there's a, there's a in, in Tokyo, you go over a bridge,

00:32:46you go over a body of water and it takes you into Arendelle. And this would make sense for that area to kind of go over there. I think he also mentioned that talked about getting rid of the submarines to make room. I don't think everybody's. Going to be OK with. That, I mean, there's there's a line for it, but I don't think anyone would be that upset if they were like, hey, pick Arendelle or Nemo submarine. And I love Finding Nemo, but the submarines? It's like it wasn't originally Finding Nemo was. Yeah, it was just a submarine. It was horrible. It was horrible then and it's horrible now. It's like you want to feel like

00:33:25what it would be like to be in a coffin, go in the submarines like it's horrible. So yeah, get rid of it. So, yeah, so that's the the rumor that, you know, frozen lands can be coming there in that area. And then Zootopia, it's going to be an extension of California Adventure. And right behind California Adventure is the Simba parking lot. It's. For Downtown Disney. For Downtown Disney, so I can't remember exactly what, What part of California Adventure that's part? Of I feel like it would be behind like boardwalk and pizza cause isn't that the parking lot that you overlook when from the

00:34:15frontier tower? No, you see it from Pixar Place Hotel. OK, so then yeah, wouldn't it be behind like pizza? Yes, yes, it would be behind in credit Coaster. I think we're kind. Of right not no credit coaster goes like right up to Catella. OK. Doesn't it because he go on? But anyways, he took, he went on Google Maps and he, he cut out the size of Zootopia land from Shanghai. It's the exact same size as the parking lot. And he overlaid it on the Simba parking lot. The, the, the took the satellite imagery, put it over the Simba parking lot. And he's like, it's almost like

00:35:01they built it first with that space in mind in California, but then built it in Shanghai first. So they developed the land. That could be a coincidence. I know, but what? That's a crazy coincidence. That's the exact same as the size as the as the as a parking lot. It also made mentions like now you have if you if you because you have to have a walkway that goes over the road that connects because it's going to have to go over a, a street to to travel to that land. And you're also going to have Pixar Place. They should have you go in on a, on like a, on a speed train. Yeah, like like Judy does. And for, for having a land right there, you have to have some

00:35:57something the block, the the hotel, because you currently have Pixar place, like right behind it. And Zootopia has these big Spires like you're in a city, you know, has all the buildings and everything. And it that would be near the perfect area to to cover that up. So, so yeah, that that was, you know, pretty much it. I thought it was just really interesting. Love to see Frozen come. To Disneyland. And it would it would fit well in Disneyland. Oh, absolutely. And Zootopia, I mean, doesn't fit with the California theme, but nothing in California fits with the California theme.

00:36:44Yeah, Avengers Campus, because Avengers Campus is supposed to be. Pennsylvania or New York? Oh, New York, Yeah. Like upstate New York? Oh, that's right. That's right. Because yeah, hello. I mean, San Fransokyo, it's not a real place, but it's like a take on San Francisco and Tokyo. So I mean, San Francisco, obviously, But yeah, once they made it more Pixar, like Pixar, Pier, Hollywood, yeah, it's California. And then Walt Disney came to LA. Yeah, you know, in the 20s. So it's like that, like when you get in like Buena Vista St. and stuff. Yeah. But yeah, then Pixar and then

00:37:26Avengers and then Cars. Like it's, I mean, Cars is Pixar. But then goofy Sky School, like it's, yeah, it's kind of all over the place. It is all over the place. It needs just, I think it needs a whole rebranding. It's just they just did. Well, like you know, we bring it, calling it, calling it something different. I. Don't want to? So 'cause just like kind of like what they did in Paris, it's now Disney Adventure World. It's a California adventure. Cause in California. It could just be, you know, California adventure. It's an adventure in California 'cause you're in California, not

00:38:03so much that the theme park is based on. California. Yeah. I feel like that's kind of what it is now. Or it used to be based off California, but then it still is in the way of like when they changed it to more Disney of having like Buena Vista St. And you know, when Walt Disney came in the 20s and they did all of that, like, it made it more Disney and it was just, I don't know, I love California Adventure. No, I do too. It's grown on me quite a bit. Yeah, 'cause. Yeah, When it was California theme, we would do the half day. It was just like whatever. Now it's like I need more than a

00:38:45day there. I need it. We haven't ridden racers. Did we ride? We didn't ride racers the last time that we went. No, because it wasn't closed. We are California Adventure Day. We drove in from Bakersfield. Overslept. And the last day we were. Slept. We were going to do early entry. We overslept 'cause we were. Coming again? We were. I know. I don't know what we're going to do. The only. The only. No. No. Nope.

00:39:16Nope. Nope. Nope. Nope. So I don't want to rope drop in that crazy. Well, here's the thing though, crowd When is racers the best? At night. When's the last time we wrote it at night? It's. Been a very long time. A very long time because we had our rope drop strategy, our early entry rope drop strategy, which was great, but it meant that we had to do it first thing in the morning. Yeah. Now if I'm going to wait for it, I'm going to wait for it at night because wait. For it, wait for it.

00:39:43I am the one thing I wish I should post those to Instagram. Those ticked. Yeah, now it's like, OK, if I'm going to wait an hour, I'm going to wait an hour in the evening. Yeah, get a treat. An hour and a half or two hours. Wait till World of Color. Yeah. People are watching World of Color so. I can skip World of Color. Yeah, this new one segment. I mean, see it once. You're like, oh, that's cool. Yeah. It's not like the 60th. Yeah, nothing is, Yeah. That's all I got. You got anything? I don't think so. OK, we really. Want it over on Podcasting Land.
