Bluey, Breakdowns & Batuu

00:00:15Hey guys, it's Tim and welcome to episode 136 of the Dreaming of Disney podcast. And I'm with my beautiful wife. Audrey, did you forget my name? No, just dramatic. Pops. Oh, dramatic effect. Hello, hello, hello. You're fresh off the heels of a Disney trip. Fun fact, we were supposed to do this trip right after our last trip, which was two weeks ago. We were supposed to do back-to-back, but I was working in LA the week of our anniversary. Oh, yes, You got home Friday night. We left Saturday morning. Yeah. So I drove down Wednesday afternoon, worked, drove back

00:01:07Friday evening, we woke up, drove back down Saturday, drove back Sunday, and then we're going to go to the next weekend with the kids and they were like. No, no. Well, there were two things. One, we couldn't get a reservation. That that too. And we were going to keep trying, but then we were like, yeah, we don't cuz we're about 4-4 hours north of LA and didn't, yeah, didn't want to do that. So then when you got reservations for this weekend, we didn't even realize until after that we were like, that's Memorial Day. Weekend. Memorial Day.

00:01:46Weekend. Do we really want to do that? But it was the only time we could go so and it was a surprise to the kids. So we were like, OK, we mainly wanted to do the Bluey show and then our boys wanted to see all of the new Star Wars stuff. So the new the old Star Wars characters and Galaxy's Edge The Mandalorian overlay for. Smuggler's Run. There you go, there was something else. Right, the music. Oh yeah, the music and the land. The fireworks. Yeah, which that isn't new. No, it's not new. We did we still we missed one new Star Wars thing. They have a projection show that's before and after the

00:02:35fireworks. What time? 8:45 which is at the same time as paint tonight. OK, and we watched paint tonight. And then 10:15 afterwards. And it was. It's the It's called Skywalker, or Memories of a Sidewalk Saga. Memories of a Skywalker. Something something about it's about the Skywalker legacy. It's supposed to be like a retail Gina. Says that's not new Rise of Skywalker. It is not new. Oh, we just haven't watched it. But I but they have a new Mandalorian Grogu version that just premiered on Friday. Last Friday, the. 22nd and so I forgot about that and that would

00:03:19have been cool to see, but every all the kids were done. After the fireworks, well, and also after the well, we'll get to it, but we had something. OK, so let's just start. So one thing that I just want to say 'cause I appreciated it was we decided to leave instead of leaving early Saturday morning, which is what we used to do. We like we would leave super early and you know, go into the park, maybe take like a break, especially if we were staying within walking distance at on property or not just in walking distance. But since our kids have gotten older and they don't nap, that doesn't really work because they are just too stink and tired and everyone, they don't necessarily sleep in the car because they're

00:04:11excited. And then they they hit a wall pretty early. So we decided to leave Friday later because you had something at work so you couldn't leave earlier. So and we're not like, we're not big like night owls. So like, I don't love traveling late at night. It makes me nervous but it wasn't that late. But we left on Friday at like 5:30. Friday of Memorial Day we did not hit any traffic. We had a little bit, but if we. Like a couple of minutes. If we, if we didn't stop, if we, you know, if we didn't stop for a bathroom and and and food, we got food before we left. I wanted a frosty.

00:05:00We stopped for dessert. That's right. I needed my ice. Cream a couple of times for bathroom breaks. Once. Twice. Oh, our daughter it. Adds up. OK, it adds up. Side of the road. It's yeah. I mean, you've seen that episode of Bluey where bandits like, I don't want to stop because I don't want to get behind the what's them called? The the Gray nomads. Gray nomads 'cause then it's going to throw off your whole schedule. We would have gotten there in under 4 hours. Yeah, like when we left the the

00:05:36map said like 3 hours and 50 minutes. We were like, what? Like no way. Because normally it takes us 4 1/2 to 4 1/2 to five hours, sometimes 5 1/2. Sometimes 6. Sometimes 6 if the traffic is bad enough, but yeah, we had to use the bathroom and I wanted. Tinkering for a Frosty. I wanted a frosty. How many miles? It's about 250 miles. Let's see. Give or take little less, little more, Somewhere around there someone's going to try to figure out where we are. But. About 2:40-ish right now. Right now it would take us under 4 hours too.

00:06:22Yeah. So yeah, so we we left Friday evening instead of our usual where we would wake up like at 3:00 in the morning and leave Saturday morning. But anyways, it was just nice because there was no traffic anyways. So we decided, well, when we weren't going to stay on property because it was a quick trip, after our trip in February, we were like, we're not taking the youngest 2 back ever again. Not not at least not for for a year. They need to get out of this entitled bratty phase that they're in. But then the Bluey show and Star Wars stuff and we caved. OK.

00:07:05But we were like, OK, but it's going to be a quick trip. We're not going to do like we're, those are our goals and the Bluey show and the Star Wars stuff. Anything on top of that is just a bonus. We're not going to spend the money to stay on property. We don't get early entry and we're a big family and the kids are bigger now. So like even our youngest, we have like a little toddler air mattress, toddler size bed air mattress. She's getting too big for that. So we're like, OK, we don't want to pay for 2:00 rooms, but so let's look around for places with like some kind of family suite. So this hotel called the Viv, it

00:07:43is not in. It's not too far, but it's not you can't walk really comfortably. You can, but it's it's a pretty far. Walk. It's a pretty far walk and not like super conveniently located either. But then it was just like a 5 minute drive to the Toy Story parking lot to where you can you go through security at the parking lot, get on the shuttle, drop you right off at the gate. So we're like, OK, that that's fine. And they have rooms with bunk beds. So that sleep 6. So we were like, OK, we'll we'll do that. The kids will love that.

00:08:15Everyone has a place to sleep. Looks good. But it wasn't. And I didn't know if just because you know, when you go somewhere, I don't know, you know, I do this that like when you get somewhere at night, sometimes it's just like, but then like in the daylight you're like, oh, it's not so bad. But like when you get somewhere at night that's like new because it this isn't a as an area where we usually don't go. Like if even when we stay at a good neighbor hotel, we stay in this certain proximity. And this was out of that, Yeah. Outside. Outside the bubble. It is. It's outside and people say there's no bubble in Anaheim, I

00:08:53think. There, there totally is. Yes, if you stay on property you are more in that bubble. It is easier to be in that bubble if you stay at a good neighbor hotel within walking distance. It's like you're bubble adjacent. You quickly get in the bubble. In my opinion, this was so out of it. Yeah, it was. And I felt like we were, we, I, I was thinking this and it was funny 'cause when we pulled in, I was like, why do I feel like I'm in Vegas? No offense to anyone who loves it. We are not fans of Vegas. To each his own. I'm just, I'm not a fan.

00:09:27And I was like, why does this feel like Vegas? And then like we get in and the hotel was not yes, yes. Yes, right along. It's right along. Yeah, you can. See it like it says the IT. Has the the rooftop bar it, it has some restaurants that's like apparently they're good. And like the rooftop bar, you have a good view of the fireworks and everything. Yeah, I could see. Yeah, you totally would. But there was there were no other families. It was like a bunch of people just going to the restaurant or to the bar. It just, it wasn't the normal Disney family vibe that you get. And I didn't like it.

00:10:17I was like, Oh my gosh, like I do not feel. Yeah, 'cause I went, we got there Friday night and I did like the mobile check in. So like they give you the key on your phone so you can go straight to straight through to your room. And so, but I realized if you want to get in and out the parking lot, you need the physical key or they're going to charge you each time. So I went down to the the lobby to get the key and again, and I'm coming back up and I get in the elevator and it's full of 20 somethings, like they were just at the pool and the stuff that they were talking about and that they're going to go get drinks. And like, this is not the Disney crowd that I'm used to.

00:11:04It was just, it was just like off. Yeah. It just was like they go to this hotel not to go to Disneyland. Yeah, they're there for the there. Are other, even though I'm not sure what else there. Is what do you do? What do you do in Anaheim, Gina? What else is there to do in Anaheim besides Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm? Yeah. It just, it didn't. It didn't feel. And then just having to get in your car and drive to the parking lot, it just takes you out of, you know, Yeah. An Angels game or Yeah? Nothing. So, yeah, so I mean the, the IT

00:11:43was, it was nice as far as fitting everybody. But I believe there's some hotels within walking distance that have similar so youths, youths. So I wouldn't want to stay there again. No and it just it just the the vibe and the decor wasn't Disney friendly. Yeah, like if we were just stopping along to stay there for something else. I don't know. I've been. I've been to Vegas quite a few times for work and and just like those hotels have a certain I keep saying the same word vibe, vibe to it like the decor and the color schemes and like everything and this had a very similar vibe to that even

00:12:39smelled similar to it like. This. The, the, the scent that Vegas casinos used to mask the cigarette smoke, that's what it smelled like to me. So it was like I was just getting flashbacks to working in Vegas. And I was like, no. Sorry, I'm making my other account a moderator real quick. OK. But I mean, the hotel was nice, it was clean, the rooms were were were spacious. We should check this out. Amy says that Hampton Inn also has family suites. We should. Check that out. Next time, And I mean 2 queen beds, two single bunk beds. I mean, we had enough room for

00:13:26everybody. And that was really nice, so. That was nice, yeah. But just staying outside, outside, outside the bubble, like double outside the bubble. And. And yeah, we would have. And you have to drive to the, we drove to the Toy Story parking lot. No, you didn't. Yes, I did. You just said parking lot. Yes. No, I did say Toy Story. I you go back and check. I said Toy Story. OK, I said it. And the and the shuttles and all that. It was just. Yeah, I don't mean the shuttle is fine 'cause that felt like

00:13:59almost like Disney World, you know, you're just getting on the bus, but then having to get in the car just really breaks up the magic, you know? Oh, Hampton Inn had one king bed, bunk beds and a sofa bed. Oh. Nice. Yes, check the tape. But anyways, so. Anyway, so I mean if I. Check that one off our list. Not going back. We're not going back like again, it wasn't anything horrible with the hotel itself, just for Disney trip. It's not our not our preference. Anyways, let's get into the Disney, shall we? We didn't rope drop. No, we didn't. We tried to.

00:14:43No, we didn't. Yeah, I guess so. We were like, OK, we're not really going to rope drop, but we're still going to get there. We weren't like stressing out, like, come on, let's get in there. It was busy. It was a It was a weird busy though. It was a weird busy. It was a weird busy because it, it wasn't like there was, well, certain places. You know when you walk through Adventureland, that's always when you can tell because it's just like a sea of people and it's hard to get through. I I would say also Disneyland wasn't as busy as California Adventure. DCA was weirdly busy.

00:15:24It was weird. Like Guardians, Racers and Credit Coaster. All over an hour, both days, all day. And here's what kept Here's what happened both days. So the first day we were in Disneyland, big rides all broke down the same. No. No, it wasn't a grad night. It was not a grad night, No, no after parties or anything. It was just a Memorial Day weekend. But it was just it was just it was different. Like the the crowd dynamics was weird because when we first got there, Disneyland, we got there when before 8. I don't. Think so.

00:16:09It was already open. OK, maybe it was a little, it was, it was a little laughter 8 and it was dead. I mean, there wasn't that many people there, but by the time I want to say it, by 10:00, it was like super busy. Well, and, and here's what I was saying. And then I got distracted. But both days there was a period of time where all, almost every big ride was down at the same time. So Big Thunder, Space Mountain, Tiana's even Rise and Indiana Jones was going in and out like always, but they were all down. Mickey and Minnie's, they were all down at the same time. So that was driving up wait times, like Dumbo was like an hour, which for Disneyland is,

00:17:00you know, busy And there's I'm on the bus. You could see what time is that 759 And we were, we were on the bus. So that was just driving up wait times. And so it just made it kind of hard. There was a lot of periods of time where we were just kind of sitting and like, OK, let's just, you know, we're waiting for our next lightning Lane 'cause we did get lightning Lane or, you know, for a while you guys waited for Rise to open up. But here was the thing. Well, first we got you guys did the Rockets. You took the kids on the Rockets while I ate and sat. It was a nice way to start. I just sat and looked at the

00:17:51castle and ate my breakfast sandwich from Starbucks. Then our daughter, who is like not going on any rides right now, has just decided that everything is scary. Peter Pan is terrifying. She will not go on it. She hasn't been on that it. Of course you couldn't Shocker. She hasn't been on Peter Pan since she was probably like 2. She's 5 but in her mind it's scary, but she loves web slingers. If you have not been on web slingers, she's 5. She if you have not been on web slingers, there's parts where these huge these huge spider bots. Spider I mean that that ride is so loud. It is so.

00:18:38Loud and you are well what she likes. Is lying at your face constantly. You're swinging your swinging your webs. She loves that red. I. Had to bribe her to go on Little Mermaid with me because you go backwards for a little bit and she didn't want to go backwards. But afterwards she looked at me and was like. Yeah, I was like, girl, you'll you want to go on Web Slingers, but you won't go on Little Mermaid with me. So anyway, so she's in this thing. So she didn't want to go on Mickey and Minnie's because of the tornado. And in her defense, we did have

00:19:12a tornado warning about a month ago, yes, in Central California. We had to shelter in place. So she's a little traumatized from that. She loves to test me, yes. Speaking of warnings, so during this whole time. Oh. Oh yeah. Gina, are you OK? So apparently in Anaheim, or I take this back, Garden Grove, which is a neighboring city next to Anaheim, is about 5 minute, 5 miles southwest of Anaheim, there was a chemical leak. This, this aerospace company had this, this chemical that was leaking in these big vats and they evacuated like the entire Garden Grove area of like 50,000 people because they were going to say this, this chemical leak

00:20:04was going to explode. And it was like highly unstable, highly flammable and, and so this. Has decreased. Gina says that has decreased. I saw that today. So they're they're saying it's not going to explode now, but that sounds good. So this started happening on Thursday. I saw some headlines and so I didn't think anything of it. And so Saturday I'm, I'm getting like news alert saying like, you know, the threats going up and up and up and, you know, Disneyland still staying open. They, you know, they're outside the evacuation zone should be OK. So I'm seeing all this. I'm not telling Audrey because I

00:20:42don't want to freak her out. I would have been like, alright. And, and so, but yeah, there was like this, there was this threat of this chemical explosion happening near Disneyland during this this time. So that was cool. That was cool. Yeah. I don't have any notifications on my phone turned on for anything except text messages, pretty much. So I stay. Yeah, whatever. I stay in my own little bubble not to worry about things. So I had no idea any of this was going on. But. But are. We are we going to do a play by play or should we just talk

00:21:20about like I. Think we should just talk about so I'm I'm I'm I am somewhat play by play. OK, we'll go through pictures. OK, so we did do Hyperspace Mountain, which if you haven't, of course, if we die, we die at Disney, right? Right. No better way to go out. Together. At least we're all together. It's like being Pixie dusted, but fatally. Thanks really for testing that. Yes, leave them. That's what you know what? That's what we started doing. Tim and I started doing this in 2020. I stopped watching the news and I would just be like you just let me know if I can leave the

00:22:01house and you know what I need to do. Just keep me up to date on what I need to do for me and the children and I'm then I'm then I'm good. Then I'm good. You don't need. To know all The Dirty details I. Don't need to know like whatever. OK so yeah so one thing about this trip and this has been coming like so we have age gaps like our kids we have almost 161310 and 5 S boys are wanting to do big rides. Our daughter is not even though she can ride some of the bigger rides like she's still she's still randomly scared of some rides and then likes other ones. She's she's a walking contradiction.

00:22:51We've been taking her on web Slinger since she was a baby. Yeah, I've been taking her on Little Mermaid since she was a baby, too. I will say Little Mermaid was her very first ride. And she was like screaming her head off. Picture of her, she's like 5 months old like screaming in her face. But actually webslingers may have been her first ride. I think Webslingers was her first ride ever. I think it was. I think it was, but she's also you guys, all of our children. We have, I've said it a billion times and I will say it until I die. We have very stubborn, strong willed children.

00:23:27They will not give in. They will not be bribed. They will not like they stand their ground. I like it didn't matter how many lollipops I offered that girl, she was not going on Mickey and Minnie's like she was like, no. And so like, we didn't ride one ride together. On Saturday. Like we split up the entire day. We did not do any rides as a family. You and I didn't ride anything together. I was with her most of the day and you were with the boys. I, I did do hyperspace with one of our boys after that. That was the only big ride I went on The entire trip was hyperspace mountain. I didn't really ride that many

00:24:15rides, I don't think. I don't know. It's all a blur. So one thing about kids, you guys, is when you have kids going through these difficult phases, especially like baby through toddler, I'm not even going to say baby. I would take my 4 month old baby 18 * / I don't want to say this instead of taking a toddler, like give me a newborn, give me an infant and little baby to take to Disney any day. Don't give me a three to five year old like I'm done. Well I do it again probably but I mean not have a kid but take her but she might be 6 before the next time she goes. Like there is no bigger emotional roller coaster that you go through of love and anger

00:25:09with your child than a Disney trip. You go from thinking they are the cutest thing and you were like, this is the most amazing thing. Like look at her meeting Minnie Mouse and she's so happy and she's dancing at Bluey and your heart is going to burst. And then the next minute you are like, I'm going to punch you in the face. I'm walking away and I don't care what happened. Like, I'm not like it's crazy. And. Maybe people are. Judging me? No, everyone's agreeing with you right now. I, you know, and if you're listening and you're judging me and thinking I'm a horrible

00:25:44mother, that's fine. I have a lot of them and I so maybe I am I don't know. There's lots of them and they all have made me feel this way at home. And but my Disney, you're just like you are like should we would get to a line? We get to the carousel. It's a 10 minute wait and she goes like. There's. Like acting so entitled. And I was like, little girl, were you expecting no one to be here but you, like I was. And then and then we go to the Bluey show. Yeah, so let's talk about Bluey. Let's talk about Bluey. Bluey. I love Bluey. We are big Bluey family.

00:26:29I think anyone who listens to our podcast or comes into our lives knows this. We were very excited for this show. The. Only thing I was disappointed at was they needed to turn up the mics for the actors. It was very hard to hear them or understand what they were saying. I thought it was interesting. That all the actors had Australian accents. Oh, they I'm sure they were. Fake. Well, one of them was obviously fake. No, one of them. I was like, I can't really tell. The other one I was like, she's not really. Not that they have.

00:26:58Australia. I was just, I was surprised that they had, they have them have Australian accents. Oh. Because. They. Not all of them did did the guitar. Player. They all did, yeah. They all did, really. Yeah, positively. Which is interesting because Disney World yesterday, today showed a preview of what's going to be, you know, the the Bluey attraction, the Bluey show for Animal Kingdom. And the actors didn't have Australian accents there. I don't. Think they all? Did they all did?

00:27:36Really 100% positive because I noticed that. I noticed that right off the bat, anyone who was speaking had an Australian accent. But I thought. The show was super cute. I just wish we could have like, it was like hard to understand and hear them sometimes. Like the music was a little bit louder than their mics. So when they were talking it was like, wait, what are they saying? But I sat down on the floor with our two youngest kids and man, that girl, oh man, she was. Dancing the entire time like. Jumping up and down and she had. She was. Sick a couple weeks ago and has like a lingering cough to where she's still.

00:28:20If she's super active, she needs to like take a break because she'll just get like coughing fits that girl kept like she's jumping up and down for they played the song like when they they're playing all like different songs. But then when they played the actually Bluey theme song, they they played the long version of it, which if you don't know, there is a longer version of it where they keep going after they say Bluey and they play the guitar and the saxophone and all this stuff. She was jumping like up and down, up and down, like non-stop jumping the whole time. And then she started like hacking up her lungs. I was like, girl, there's a dad sitting right in front of her

00:28:55who's probably not enjoying. I was like, I promise she's not sick anymore. She just but and then afterwards, because you can't meet Bluey and Bingo. But afterwards there's like the stage and then this little like walkway down in front of the stage where Bluey and Bingo and the actors would walk and they just played music and had Bluey and Bingo like come down and dance. They're just Bluey and Bingo for like another 5 minutes or so. And if you've never seen Bluey, then you just, you need to go watch it. Just do it. I don't care if you're an adult and if you don't have any kids to watch it. I know several adults that like

00:29:33it and don't either have kids or have adult children. It's amazing. It's amazing. But but so that was really, that was really cute and and she loved it. And I mean, I think our older kids even enjoyed it too. They don't like, you know they're not going to love it as much as our. Daughter but and. Apparently they have alternating versions but we only got to see it once. So I wanted to try to take her again but we didn't get a chance to. But everything that I've read. Is that the second show is. More boring. Than the first show. Oh really?

00:30:12Yeah, it's it's instead of. Unicorse 'cause it had unicorse if you know if you're listening it. The other one has chattermax, which chattermax doesn't talk but I guess has slower. Songs and so and so it's a little bit more, you know, when it when it first debuted, a lot of the, the families were getting up and leaving cause the kids were losing attention. Really. Yeah. I noticed. That there was like a short like intermission. There were there was like 10 minutes. Left and a lot of people left, a lot of. People got up and. Left, but here's what I thought.

00:30:49About that because they said like Blue and Bingo are going to stay or there's like one more time for one more song or something like that. And a lot of people left. And I'm wondering because the way they said it after that, because you couldn't really understand or hear them, it kind of sounded like they said it was over. So I think people thought it was over because again, you couldn't really hear what they were saying very well. Yes, we are recording. A podcast, Star Wars Bluey show. What? He's pulling your leg. Sorry, I need water. But anyways, super cute. We loved it, bought stuff. You know, they didn't have a lot

00:31:28of the merchandise that I wanted, that I had been seen on social media from when it first opened. There was a lot that they didn't have. So I was bummed about that. But still, I got a shirt. They had some blind boxes. We got some of those. But but. Yeah, so. What did you so? If you don't know, if you aren't as familiar with Disneyland, they changed Galaxy's Edge in Disneyland, not in World, to where they got rid of some of the newer characters like Kylo Ren and Ray. They just moved them somewhere else. And they brought Luke Hahn and Leia and Darth Vader and the

00:32:17original Stormtroopers. Original Stormtroopers. And. They are now playing Star Wars music. And. In Galaxy's Edge, not just like the sound effects of being in Batu like they're actually playing Star Wars music. Hey, I'm. Proud of you. You said Batu. Yes, I did nice. Yes, I. Did. Now, what's the actual town called? What the the the actual city in Batu that you go to? What's Batu? Batu is the planet. Oh my gosh. Black Spider.

00:33:00Outpost. It was on May. 4th the guys were playing the Star Wars song for the intro. Oh. That's awesome. OK, yes, Ray is over by Ryze. I'm not a fan of Ray. You guys if you we. All, we all. Know you're not a fan of Ray Skywalker? I don't. She is not a Skywalker. She is not. A Skywalker. Not a Skywalker. Anyways. What did you think of the? Music. I thought it was good. I was. I was glad that that it was more subtle than than because I was

00:33:43expecting it's going to be like you go on the adventures campus. In Avengers Campus. All The Avengers music is like loud over the top blaring every corner that you go to, whereas Galaxy Edge it was more. More like a. Background music soundtrack. Because you still. Had all the sound effects of like the animals, like they're in the bushes and then like the, the, the ships going overhead and all the other things. And, and I did miss because when you go through the tunnel, when you're going into Galaxy's Edge, every time that you went through, you had that little, that sound transition. You had. The the there was kind of like that little, I don't know how

00:34:36you explain it, like twinkling sound. Well, there there's a twinkling sound that was just in your. Head No it wasn't no there it that. Sound. There's a sound like that and it has the Galaxy's Edge theme. It's just like what I hear when I walk into. Fantasyland. It's it's. Like it's telling you that you are. You're transporting into another world, another Galaxy. Yeah, yeah. Stop making fun of. Me. No, I'm not OK. And they did. They took that away. And so the Galaxy's Edge theme

00:35:11was actually composed by John Williams, right? And now there's nowhere that you hear that. Or. Maybe you? Just didn't hear it. No, it's not because. It was I, I took video because I was, I was curious what they were going to do as we were walking through there. That's why I told you I was. I was taking video. And. It just, it's just some random Star Wars song. Whatever's playing in the loop was playing, but there's no like sound effect that you're like, because that was like the whole thing. Like when they, they started Galaxy's Edge was to to have

00:35:48this, this feeling that you're Tran being transported to another Galaxy. They they were very intentional about how do you how do you transition from Frontierland or, you know, other parts of the park that are grounded in this world to another world like that? And so you kind of missed that rich rods gets. You he gets. You he gets. Me he gets. It OK he. Gets it and. So you you missed that. And so I thought that was kind of, I didn't like that. I kind of liked without the music better, I think, really. I like the original. 'Cause you felt like you were

00:36:36there, like you're there living it in this world with the music, it just feels like you're watching a movie. Because. If you think about it, the characters in the movie aren't hearing the music right. The audience. The spectator is you. You're watching the movie, you're hearing the music. But if you're living the experience, you're obviously not hearing the music. You hear the sound effects of things that are in the world, but not the music. And so I think I prefer the version without the music because also the music that they were playing wasn't all like familiar songs from the movies. There was a few I thought it

00:37:30was, but there was. There were some that are more obscure than others. I was like, I don't know this. This doesn't really fit that well. I. I like the music, I liked it too. I was. It wasn't bad, but I think I prefer the way it was before I I liked. The having the Star Wars theme music and I heard one of our kids say that he did too. He said it felt more Star Wars like. Yeah, yeah. So I'm being a little nerdy, but you know, that's just OK. But I will say, none of us are that cool. Here, So I mean, if you're

00:38:06listening to this, you're listening to a Disney podcast the the cast member. That they had to play Luke. Just kidding, we love. You all, we think everyone's cool. Luke was awful. The cast member. That they have the the the play Luke, which is was bad and here's my. Thing. Well, a couple things. One. He was like 19, yeah, like a kid, which I'm sure Lucas supposed to be. Well, he probably is supposed to, but like A New Hope, he's 18. OK, so. This kid probably was about that right age, but come on, Mark

00:38:38Hamill didn't look like he was 18. This is the. Return of the Jedi era. So. Right, and and. Mark So Mark Hamill had been in a car accident and had some plastic surgery done, so he looked older. When he filmed. It Here's the thing though, it's a wig. Make it look better. The wig is awful. His hair is never that dark. Luke's. I get that Luke's hair is a little darker by Return of the Jedi than in A New Hope. It is never this. Dark and it's never like this. Slicked back almost mullet like why did they make his hair look

00:39:19bad? Luke Brady. Yes. Yes, it was awful and they've been. Switching cast members to play Luke. I've seen probably about four or five different cast members play Luke, and they all just don't look the part. Yeah, I haven't seen any. Han's pretty good. I mean, no one's Harrison Han Han. I've seen 2. Cast members play, so it's the stuff that I've seen online and the the cast member that plays Leia, it's been the same. Same woman. Girl who? Who's played? Leia since, yeah.

00:40:05The the. The the cast member who plays Leia. It's the same cast member that she only looks pretty. Good in. The press materials when they when they came out, but the other they've been switching around the other ones. Yeah, I didn't think Leia. Would I didn't like her? I don't. And honestly, am I going to? I, I it's not like I've ever been a huge Leia fan. Like, I'm a I'm a Han Solo fan through and through. Leia, I feel. Like she's kind of annoying sometimes. I'm like like who? Why you have such attitude girl? Like give Han Solo break, just

00:40:48kiss him already like you know you want to. But the way she was. I came face to face with her. I like was walking. And I had she was standing right in front of me and I didn't real, I thought it was just a person dressed up like Leia because there were so many people dressed up. Like I was kind of surprised. Like we were like, how are these people getting in? Because you're not supposed to be able to dress up that much. Adults can't. Have masks, which we saw several. Mandalorian masks like but they sell it they. Sell it in the park. That's the problem, right? And you're not.

00:41:19But anyways, yeah, the Leia was sometimes. What did I say? I don't remember. I don't know, I didn't like the. Like the attitude she was giving off even though Leia has attitude in the movie. I something. About her, I just wasn't crazy about the Han was OK. I don't know I've. I've never been super crazy about anyone playing a Harrison Ford character because it's just not going to be Harrison Ford. It's true, they should have. They should have Harrison Ford come and play like John, like Johnny Depp came and played Jack Sparrow, which apparently there's only, there's been, you know, all these times like, oh, Jack's come Jack, Johnny Depp.

00:42:07Johnny Depp has come. And played Jack Sparrow a couple of times at Disneyland. He's only come once and the only time that he played Jack Sparrow was when he was on the ride. So he's, yeah, he was. Never. Never walked around, Never walked around. But he was on the ride in Pirates. That's the only time. But people say, oh, I've seen him. It's like, no, that's just they have an. Actor. They have a cast member. They have one that's like good, but not like you can tell, but he's still really good. There is one where he is so convincing like it's it's it

00:42:45you. It's really hard to tell that it's not him. All the only reason I feel like you can tell is because Johnny Depp has aged. So you're like, OK, well, that can't be Johnny Depp because Johnny Depp is not the same age as he was in 2003. But yeah, they have a really good actors playing playing Jack Sparrow. But anyways going. Back to Galaxy's Edge, I still haven't watched the full video. Of our one of our boys got called up to like interact with Darth Vader and we have a video of him when he was three I think so I. Think he's 3 almost. 4 like showing off his Jedi lights or his force moves his.

00:43:25Lightsaber moves. And his Force push moves to Kylo Ren, to Kylo Ren and like in the middle of a crowd of people like it's the best video ever. While our older boy, our older boy is like crying hysterically because he was terrified of Kylo Ren. But our youngest boy is like. Has his lightsaber. And is like, like it's amazing. So he got called, picked again by Darth Vader, but I wasn't there because. My daughter wanted to go do. Something else. Where was I? I think he. Went to go ride the carousel again so I missed it. The actor that they have. Playing Darth Vader is really good.

00:44:08Is it James Earl drone? No, he's gone. I was. Kidding, because he has a mask on, so you can't really tell, Hit recording. But no, it was like really intimidating. It was. Yeah. You said he scared. You where was I? Where? Did I go? I don't. Know. I don't have any pictures. Probably because I was angry. Oh, no, no. Then I, I I did get to do Indiana Jones with the boys. But so. Yeah, there was like no pictures in this.

00:44:40Time 1 did my 2. We. Did smugglers run so the the new smugglers run overlay so they that has to gosh I can't talk smugglers run. Has a new overlay that coincides with. The new Mandalorian Grogo movie. And what's neat about this is that they built in variables into the game. Because that's pretty much what it is. Casey Junior. OK, that's what. I took her to. Do what to? Go to. They built in variables to the ride. So kind of like Star Tours where every time you go it's supposed to be different, but it seems

00:45:26like every time I go on Star Tours it's the same thing over and over and over again. For. This, they have three different options, so there's three different planets that you could go to. I think it's indoor Kurasant. And then I forget what the third one is, but so that was cool. The actor that they the voice actor they had to do Mandalorian does not sound like Pedro Pascal, like at all. But Grogu was really cute because he keeps popping up on your screens, like pushing buttons in there and stuff. But but yeah, that was neat. I was an engineer and two of our boys were Gunners. One of them was pilot who got say the.

00:46:11Age. Which 1112 or three? Who got to be the pilot? 2. Two got to be pilot they. Both wanted to be pilot. I know I was like who? Won that. 'Cause I had to pick and, and then we had two other people that came with us. And so the other guy was a gunner. I mean a engineer kid was a engineer and then the other guy was a pilot. So I'm going to say if only one. Of our kids got to be a pilot, Who got who, who got to who got to I wish. Georgia would don't say her name. Oh. Sorry.

00:46:44I wish our daughter would want to. I know because then we. Would fill up the. Entire thing because then we would. All get to go on it, but that one would. And and this is what I told the boys. They were like, oh, she's scared. I was like 1. You guys were scared too at this age. And to her, things are still real. So like she didn't like even being in Galaxy's Edge because she kept thinking they were monsters. Like, you know, you can hear noises and sound effects of like, and she would be like,

00:47:12what's that? Like? We were in the bathroom and you could hear what sounded like monsters and she was like, what is that? Like it was scaring her. Like so when I realized when she was like, I don't like all the sounds, 'cause there's monsters here, 'cause she's just not in cause the boys like Star Wars at her age, she's not into Star Wars. And so to her it's just a scary bunch of scary monsters. And then I was like, OK, let's, let's go. Like we can go do Casey's Junior Circus train and the carousel. Because that's what I told you I. Was like, we have to follow our own advice, we always tell

00:47:49people. Make the youngest one. Happy because if they're not, no one else is going to be happy. Like so I was like OK, go do this. But then when she would complain because the wait was 5 minutes, then I was done. I was like, we get there and there's a line. Casey she because I was. Like there because there's other people. I don't know if you know this, but other people go to to Disneyland, so you have to. And she was like, no, I'm not going. So I left her and I walked away and I got in line. She eventually followed me. I was like, you don't often. Hear of kids getting kidnapped

00:48:28at Disneyland so I'm sure. She's fine. I didn't walk that far, but I was like, all right, well, I'm going to go ride it. You you like. Casey Jones by yourself in the in the little cage. But I will say. Galaxy's Edge, they have some really cool merch right now. Yeah, you. I I really like wanted things this. Time you're usually like AI think I've spent the. Most Well, I'll take that back when you bought my lightsaber. But this is the most I've. Spent on on yourself on. Myself. At Disneyland in a very long time. Yeah, I got a spirit jersey and

00:49:11a shirt. I know it's your first spirit. Jersey babe. I know. This your shirt? My shirt. It's my new. Shirt. Yeah, it's the it's Star Wars, but in Arabesh. It's the Star Wars. Language. Uh huh. The written language. I'm making fun of you as. I wear a bluey shirt. But it's in English. Do you know? What the what the English language is called in Star Wars Galactic Basic? OK, so when you hear English, that's what that is. It's called Galactic Basic.

00:49:49Just so you know. Oh good. I'm glad I. Know so and then this is where we hit like a a. Seems we have reached an impasse. That's from SpongeBob. We're like, there was a bunch of big rides shut down and so everything was a really long wait and so there wasn't really much to do. We were going to go on. Jungle Cruise, because our daughter would go on that and that was a ride we could ride as a family because I was like, we haven't been on any rides all together. It shut down. It was down for a while, so Rise was down. So we decided to just go back

00:50:30and wait so that you guys could possibly get on Rise if it opened up because there was just nothing else to do. We're like, well, might as well just go sit there and wait. And while we were waiting, I decided to take the girl and go do something. She wanted to do something. I don't even remember. I don't. Remember either because I took her back. She and I was like, oh, she wanted to do Dumbo earlier. We didn't do Dumbo. Because it was an hour and I was like, girl, I'm not waiting an hour for Dumbo. It went down to like 30 minutes. And I was like, well, we're either going to sit here and she's starting to get antsy or

00:51:13I'm going to go take her to do to do Dumbo. So I told her. And then it's like, you know, it's one of those moments where she's like starting to, I'm irritated because we can't do something all together as a family. And then I say, I was like, all right, I'll take you to do Dumbo. And she just lights up with her cute little smile and is like, thank you, mommy. Think, Oh my gosh. But yes. Guess who got out of the ride first? Rise or Dumbo? Yeah, who got on so? You when I left you guys, it had not opened yet. Rise was still down.

00:51:46So I leave you and I'm walking towards Dumbo and I got the text not long after we got out of Galaxy's Edge, which Galaxy's Edge is like, if you are not familiar with Disneyland, it's it's pretty close to Fantasyland. It's like up against the back of Fantasyland, kind of and. You'd text me that? Rise was open and I was like, oh good. Like they'll they'll get to ride it because the boys really wanted to ride it. Well, you know what I remembered in February, I took her on Dumbo alone while you guys went on Rise because it was a low weight. Yeah, it's like our, that's our tradition now. So we get to Dumbo.

00:52:21And the posted time is like 20 minutes. And I was like, oh, it's less than, oh, I know. That was a different ride I took her on. You said it was 25. Minutes. Yeah, and the app. Said thirty, it says sounds like OK, but as I'm getting in line I'm like, this looks longer than that. You guys got? On rise way faster than we got on Dumbo. We waited like 45 to 50 minutes. We. Waited 10 minutes. Sunrise. So. I think that's the fastest we've ever gone through it without having to buy Lightning Lane,

00:53:00yeah. And we waited a very long time for Dumbo in which which which prefer a lot of that line. I held her 'cause she wanted me to hold her. But I will say she was being really cute and like saying funny things and playing with my hair and saying, why did you put slime in your hair? Like she was just like trying to trick me into thinking there was slime in my hair. And she was being really, she was being really cute. So it really wasn't bad. It was just like it was a long wait, but she was she was in a good mood. She wasn't complaining about the weight. She was playing and happy. And so that's fine.

00:53:38When we were waiting. For Rise and when the cast member said, OK, we are about to open up Rise if he was going to tell everybody come, please line up on this side everybody because there was a there was a lot of. People waiting, people just waiting. For for rise to open up and so everyone just rushed or before he finished his sentence, everybody was rushing and it was funny. We were wait, we were sitting and our second oldest he, he noticed and I had noticed it too. We heard that the ride sounds turned on so you could hear the end of the ride. And so we're like, oh, it must be.

00:54:23You must be testing it out. And he's like. Maybe we should go over there and get closer to the entrance. It's like, no, no, let's just let's just wait a little bit. Don't you know that? The second oldest is. Right on. And then like. 2 minutes, the cast member says OK, we're about to open it and everybody rushed. I was like, I should have listened to you. You should have. He's right, A. Lot. It's annoying, but he is. Yeah, so then it was. Like and it we already knew when we were waiting for a rise, I think is we put a mobile order in for a restaurant closer to that side.

00:55:00So I knew that I was going to be walking almost to the other side of the park and then all the way back. I was really tired. We did a lot of. Walking back, I walked. A lot because I was basically just walking all around, telling, taking her to whatever ride she wanted to ride and then meeting back up with you guys, only to be with you for a few minutes and then take her back to another ride. I did that a lot, which is fine. I shouldn't complain. I wanted to take a daughter to Disneyland for so many years. It would have been totally fine if she wouldn't have been being a little punk for like, most of it. Yeah, half of it.

00:55:35Half of it. Because then she was really happy. She was so happy on Dumbo. Like she was like. Laughing and. She loves Dumbo. We're almost at an hour. We should probably wrap this up. We're only on our first day. Good night. Why are we talking? So much so. We, we watched Paint the Night great as always. I got a good spot in front of small world right where it starts, because that's nice, because it starts right there and then you know, the it's over. You can go off to your next thing. And then we went over to

00:56:08Galaxy's Edge for this, the fireworks. Lame it. Was it was kind of lame, guys, I'm sorry, it was lame. I forgot to check. My steps on on that day. But also I push a. Stroller and so I never feel like my steps are accurate because my arm isn't moving. So sometimes I'm like. There's no way 'cause I'm pushing a stroller so my arm isn't moving. We watched it from Galaxy's Edge when we were there in October, when it was the Halloween fireworks. That in Galaxy's Edge was a great show. They like projected Darth Vader up on there and like Anakin and they like it was really cool.

00:56:54This time was a little. Lame. Like there weren't that many projections. It was a little boring. It was some. There was a. Lot of Dead Space. A lot of Dead Space. And I was like, man, we should have watched Wondrous Journeys. I know, I know. I I regretted that decision. The boys have never watched it. From there. So no, they've seen it from. Over there before. Really. Yeah. Oh, I think it was a time. That I took the girl back to the hotel. It was when. She had pink eye.

00:57:20Oh, that. That was the worst. We didn't take her there with it. We realized she had it when we got there. Yeah. That was horrible. So after that we had a we had a lightning lane for Big Thunder, at which we waited to get. It at night because it's way better at night and then I was too you were too done I. Was too done I. Was so tired and then our youngest boy was so tired and just wanted to go back and I knew we had to like get back to the shuttle, then get back in the car, then drive back to the hotel and so I decided to not. Switch and go. Have.

00:58:01I decided to sit out. On Big Thunder too, because that would just take double the amount of time. And so I was like, it's fine, I'll just wait for you guys and. So I didn't get to go on it. So the next day. Was California. I know we said we weren't going to do play by play, but we always end up doing AI know. So we did California adventure the next day. Wow, you didn't take like any. Pictures. I didn't take very many. Pictures at all? OK, but one thing. About OK that. Day was all messed up because racers and credit coaster. It's just those two right there. There was a.

00:58:42Couple down, it was the same thing as the first day where it was like there was a few big rides down all at the same time. Well, the thing within credit. Coaster it didn't open when the park opened and it wasn't ready yet and so that was delayed and then it opened and then it shut down right again. Like I noticed we both me and the second most noticed that. And so it opened for a little bit and then it shut down right away. And so it was shut down after. You know, if that was around 9:00 in the morning, it was didn't open up until later in the afternoon. Yeah. And so like we had Lightning Lane, but like. We never got on.

00:59:26Guardians. Guardians sold out. Yeah, it sold. Out by before noon, which it never. It rarely I've I've never seen it sell out. I've never been there were any rides sell out Indiana Jones maybe like once, but I've never been where rides sold out. So that kind of stunk because it's a lot of our one of our favourites, but but we still got go. On OK, so we we. Started this. It was funny because California Adventure we actually rode on more rides together as a family than in Disneyland because our daughter. Like, well, toy. Story Mania so So our last trip,

01:00:05you tried for so long to break 200 your score on Toy Story Mania. You broke that a couple like a year or so ago. Our last trip in February, our oldest son beat you not even trying. So then this time you guys were sitting together, 'cause last time you weren't, you saw, you saw that he like someone in the car got the higher score and you were like, who was that? And our son was like, oh, that was me. So this time you guys. Sat next to each other and he beat you again. Again. He beat me again. Again. I will say my elbow was hurting pretty bad.

01:00:45I was I. The week before, I built a retaining wall in our backyard. Yeah, he did too though. And I. I hurt my elbow, I hurt both my elbows, so like tennis elbow and it hurt really bad. And that motion over and over and over again. No, yeah, I get it. I. Get it aggravates the. Injury. But then we went on Web Slingers, and I always kick butt on Web slingers, man, you do. Kick butt. I don't know how you I got almost I got. Almost 300,000 on Web Slingers. I didn't even break 200 on that one, I got almost 3. 100 well, it was like 270 I I can't.

01:01:20Get the mechanics down with that one because it's just, I don't know. I don't know, I just. I can't get that one going. But one thing I want to say is we did the Animation Academy, and I've heard this hack before and I finally did it and I wish I would have done it years ago. But getting a journal and doing your Animation Academy drawings in there because then you can like, keep them all together. So I did get one. It's small because I want to be able to carry out my backpack. So you don't have as big of a paper. But we did grow goo. Did you see my grow goo? Oh, that's really cute. Grow goo, I was proud of it. Yeah, I'll show.

01:01:55I'll show my TT friends. Where is it? There's my grow goo. But so now I can keep them all together. And so that's the hack I saw on I think IG. So just an idea if you like doing the Animation Academy. So we weren't staying all day. We were driving home this day. We ended up going back into Disneyland and doing. What did we do? I think we just. Oh, the boys. The the. Boys, the big boys went on Star Tours and then we watched the little cavalcade parade and then we everything was like a high weight and we were like hey small world's 5 minutes, we can all go together.

01:02:37Use a lightning light. For that puppy, we we, let's go. Do that and then we'll head out. So, but we did, we went on aerial, you guys did Incredicoaster. We spent some time in the. Animation building. But yeah, we were all pretty tired. Like even our youngest boy was like, I can't believe I'm going to say this. But I'm ready to go home. And we were like, what? Yeah, we were. We did a lot of walking. We did a lot of walking and. Then the waits were long. It seems like like every other trip. It's like our last trip in February. Man, you were nailing it with

01:03:14the Lightning lanes. We were like, we were churning them and we were like, off my groove. This. Time well, but it it just. Happens. It's just like. It it it. It's also like what you pick. Could get messed up that. Ride could shut down and then you have to pick something else and so some it's not all your fault, babe. It's not all your fault. But I mean, it was fun. It was we had fun. It was just it was just different. And it's like it's different when we have this age gap. It's like in a few years when she's back, not back but wanting

01:03:51to ride bigger rides. You know, they could be 10 and when she's 10 and our oldest is 21, let's not discuss this. But he will still be coming with us. So that like that's just, I don't care where he is in the world. You know, and we can all. Go on the big rides together, but like there's this weird period of time with this because they're 11, our oldest and our youngest are 11 years apart and where it's like they don't want to do the same things and so it's like. I don't know it was making. Me sad. So I was a little sad the first day just because I was like, we haven't like done anything together and I just like really

01:04:29missed when I don't. Want to say when we. Just had the two oldest boys because that sounds bad, but it's like what they were. They're the closest in age, the 1st 2:00. And they were. So they were both really little and doing the same things together, you know, And even when they were both really little and like toddlers and so we couldn't do big rides really, we still were doing all the little stuff all together. And so it was just, it's just a different dynamic right now and it's just kind of different, but yeah. Yeah, he'll be staying at the. Viv no, he will not be with the 20 somethings at the hotel bar he'll be in.

01:05:11He'll be in all the gift shop. We were at Rise and there's just like those little kiosks like with like the Star Wars merchandise, there's only like 2 of them. And he stood there for like 30 minutes. I'm like, how could you look at that small like that boy will shop, he will window shop for hours. We we're sitting. Anywhere. So hey, can I go and start? Can I go in the stop? Can I? Go in the shop, Can I go to the gift shop? Can I go? In the gift shop, he. Always wants to go and he's my son, yeah. He loves gift shop.

01:05:37He loves just looking at. Stuff, yeah, but he. Really wanted a helmet he kept again he. Kept doing all the. Math like, OK, I have this much and and then discount and and and it would take up like all of his money and I was like, no, not. A good idea? He bought he that. Was his first big thing he saved up for when he was like. 9. 8. Eight or nine child's. Helmet, he can't. Fit. He can't. He can't. Wear the one he has. He has one. He saved up for it for a long time and I think he was 8 or 9 and he wore that thing.

01:06:18All he would wear it all the. Time all. Yeah, the day he bought it, he wore it the whole time at the park. Yeah, now he's almost 16 and he wants to buy another helmet. But yeah. So anyways, that was our trip. It was it. Was up and down like any trip. Yeah, Louie show was great. We've had worse. Trips. Oh yeah, we've had much worse trips, yeah. But it this one was mainly meant we were going to do the new things. Louie Star Wars, that was the the main the main draw, which I'm glad we are able to go this time because if we were going to go last weekend we wouldn't have

01:07:00been able to ride the new smugglers run version. So we got to be able to do that. I did want to do another time because I wanted to try to do the Grogu mode because on the old version of Smugglers run, if you didn't know, there was what's called chewy mode, which if you if the Gunners and the engineers press certain buttons in a certain way, you unlock chewy mode, which instead of getting the narration from Hondo telling you what to do, you have Chewie yelling at you the whole time. And so just like that. And so with this new Mando and Grogu version, you have Grogu mode, which you have Baby Yoda Grogu making all his baby sounds the entire time. So but I feel like I was really.

01:07:52Negative, and I didn't mean to be negative. I had a really good time and I had a good time with her. OK, I. Did I did and then I like, I took her on maters and she loves maters and she's cracking up and her arms are in the air and it's just a tough. Time. It's just a tough age. Where she's just insistent on her. It is tough to be like it's she's just insistent on her way and. It's difficult. But like the Bluey show and Maters and Dumbo, like she was so stinking happy the first time I took her. And we rode small world several times.

01:08:27But like first time we went on Small world, like she was just like so happy she was waving to all the characters even though they're just animatronics. And like, then I forgot to tell you this. When we were, I was picking up her dinner at Flo's and she was pretending to be Jasmine, but she was pretending to be Jasmine like at Disneyland. So she was like, she's like, OK, mommy, mommy yell Jasmine, Jasmine. And I was like Jasmine, Jasmine. She was like. And would like wave to. Me and then she said OK, ask me to take a picture like she was pretending to be a. Character and then she would like. And then when she posed for the

01:09:02picture with me, she was like, I did like a a closed mouth smile. I was like, and then she like kept walking like she was pretending to be a character. Maybe she'll. Be maybe she'll work at Disneyland when she gets older. It's a character I know. And she was like. Waving as she walked by me and she was like mom, mommy, say you want to take a picture. That's cute. She's so. Cute. She's just also. Doesn't bend to my. Will all the time she is stubborn. She has wrestling big. Feelings, She has very big feelings, but she's also has a really big heart and.

01:09:38So we I. Did have a lot of fun with her. I just wish we could all have fun together, yeah. Well, at least we can always. Ride web slingers together. Actually, we can't. Because we can't fit in one row, we have to fit in one, yeah. But at least we can racers and smugglers run and space mountain. When she gets bigger those 3 will be fun. Or she can technically. Well, no, she can't ride. Which one? What did what? Did I say, Oh no, she could ride all those? She could ride all those, but she won't. But when? When she will?

01:10:14That will be fun because we will. We'll fill up a car on racers. So that'd be fun. That'd be a lot of fun. Yeah, so thank you for all for listening.
