Choose your own Disneyland adventure!

00:00:04Welcome to this happy place. Welcome. Hey, guys, it's Tim. And welcome to episode 113. No. Yes. 11101. 13113 last one was one 12113 The Dreaming of Disney podcasts. Are we going backwards? No, because last week was 112 last. Week. You mean a month? Ago. Yeah, yeah. I'm joined with my beautiful wife Adrian. Hello. Who's upset because she's not having dessert tonight? No, no, you were just crying. Because I'm not in Disneyland. Oh, OK. Well, you did I I don't know

00:00:58that. And I am having Disney. We were just talking about you had a milkshake earlier today. Yeah, I did. And then I'm like, oh, I shouldn't have ice cream tonight because I just had a milkshake earlier today. But then I'm like, OK, but that was earlier. It was like 4:00 so I need dessert before I go to bed. Yeah. I'm just going to make it smaller. OK, sounds like a plan. But no, I was crying because sorry, I'm trying to find a good spot for the mic. No, because I'm not in Disneyland and I've been really, really, really, really, really missing it.

00:01:43Yeah, me too. We, we are planning hopefully in July. So, you know, that's like the hottest time I know. But I was telling a friend and she was like, you want to go in July? I was like, well, I don't want to go in July, but. It's our only opportunity this year, but well, Speaking of missing Disneyland, I thought it'd be fun to do a little game, a little play through adventure. Choose your own adventure with the help my good friend ChatGPT. I OK, and I'm I'm going to be honest because I normally lie a lot that just kidding that I don't I don't get AI. You guys like the whole and people love it. People are upset about it.

00:02:45Oh yeah, use AI for being AI can be like your personal assistant. I I don't, I I don't get it. I don't get it. Well, it's. Like, it's like Google, right? It's like saying hey Siri, where should I go tomorrow? It's like a very advanced Google. OK, so this is with Google. You just like search something like where's the best restaurant? And it gives you like, you know, you're the top five based on Yelp, right? With AI, it can reason, it can think. How? By how it programs itself. It programs itself. How does it think it doesn't have a brain?

00:03:29Well, it does have a brain. It's just, it's like it's electronic brain, not like a human brain doesn't. Make any sense to? Me. So it's like a very, very smart computer that can. Is it a learning robot? It is a learning. Robot, what's that from? Give us Leave us a leave us a review and tell us what is that from? So, yeah, so the engineers who started it, they feed it information and it learns off those things. And in the code, it allows it to learn off the information that's provided and can start to reason and think and act like a person. And so AI can be used in many different ways.

00:04:16They can be used as some as a personal assistant. You ask it questions, they can feedback information. It can search the web for you. Well, yeah. Because I see it all the time when I'm OK. So like I, I make make with quotation marks sourdough. I have started a sourdough journey and I'm kind of plateaued and I just because it's, you know, it, it's not like second nature to me yet. And so like trying new things. I'm not really there. I like got this thing down and I but since we moved, it's been off and I've so I, this is a tangent, but I'm coming back on. I'm on a Facebook group and people always are like, oh, I asked Chet.

00:04:57What is it? GPT. GPT and like it's helped me so much with my sourdough and like, or I've seen things for, you know, meal planning. You know, it's like I have a family of this many. We don't like this, We like this. I need this many meals. I need this many crock pot. It's just, I don't know. I just my friend and I tried it when we were in New York. She was trying to remember this one restaurant and she couldn't remember and we had just been talking about AI and so she I was like, are you going to try chat? She I can't even say it. ChatGPT. Could they make it flow better,

00:05:32please? And so we were like trying. It didn't work. We were like, where's like this restaurant? It's a kind of like a garden. It didn't work. So, yeah, so I mean, you can, you can feed it different types of information and you give it parameters and it can do things within that parameter. It can create images. You can tell it's like I want to create an image that looks like this. So you do that in the app. It see here's the thing, there's many different types of AI just like there's different apps. ChatGPT is 1 type of AI app. It's the most popular. But there's like Google has its own AI, Microsoft has its own

00:06:17AI, Apple is trying to do its own AI. So they all, but they all do similar things or some are better at some things than others. But chat ChatGPT is like a chat bot, you know, like you go online and you like chat with like a virtual they, but it's like that. So it's like a someone that you chat with and it can do many different types of things. OK, I'm sorry, I know this is not an AI podcast. It's just like, whatever, Yeah, let's do this. So. Part of me doesn't even part of me like I'll like be intrigued and then I'm like, no, I don't want to because kind of like how we have and you know, we have

00:07:04cell phones now. So like how many people's phone numbers do you know? Like you may know all of your childhood friends phone number still, but you don't know current people. Like I know all of my best friend's phone numbers from growing up and my home phone number. And like I do not know our sons. I. Know. And so it's like, I don't do you. No, I don't. I don't even know what it starts with. I know the area code, but that is it. So I'm like, I part of me, I'm like, oh, that would be helpful. But then I'm like, if I rely on

00:07:36it too much, will I lose the tiny bit of brain cells I have left after having four kids, you know? OK, another tangent tangent. Tangent. But Speaking of four kids, I feel like we should give a congratulations to not ourselves, to our friends TJ and Melissa. Oh yes, Darian, yes. Who are having #5 number? 5. South TJ from dreaming? Nope, that's us. Yes, dreaming of Disney. Disney World is awesome. Oh, I thought you're talking. No, we're dreaming of Disney. Well, I thought you're like from the Dreaming of Disney podcast. Congratulations. Oh no, I said TJ from the Disney

00:08:20World is awesome podcast and his wife yes, they are having a baby. It's very another boy A. Boy so they their oldest is a boy, 3 younger daughters. And they're having another boy. It's so exciting. So congratulations, you guys. We're very excited for you. OK, anyways, back to AI. Back to AI. So anyways, I may have sold this idea from. Another podcast Who'd? You still have to, doesn't matter. Got stuff doing their ideas or we're going to have five kids. Oh, no, but so, so I went into ChatGPT and I said, hey, let's do a podcast episode where I said choose your own adventure. And it's, you know, me and

00:09:10Audrey Anne were going to Disneyland. And I gave it like parameters, like I like thrill rides. My favorite ride is Space Mountain. And I love Star Wars. Audrian loves sentimental rides like It's a Small World Fantasyland and making time for treats and desserts. And shopping. And shopping and create a choose your own adventure to where you give us options and then we'll discuss and then we'll choose it which what we want to do and then give us different scenarios. OK. And we don't have the kids. No, it's just us. That would take too long because, you know, like describe

00:09:53each of the kids and all that kind of stuff. So we'll have to do that for another episode. OK. Or we could do a Disney World one. Or a Disney World one. All right, so here we go, Scene 1 entering Disneyland. You and Audrey Anne have just walked under the tunnel into Disneyland is a perfect morning. Blue skies, the smell of popcorn and fresh churros, and Main Street is buzzing with energy. Nice. There you go. You hear the faint sound of a marching band tuning up. Mickey and Minnie are waving nearby for photos. You're standing right at the start of Main Street USA,

00:10:31holding hands, ready for adventure. Now it's time to choose your first move. Where do you want to go? Option one left toward adventure line. Left toward Adventure Land, Jungle Cruise, Indiana Jones, Straight towards the Castle, Fantasyland, Magic, It's a Small World, or right toward Tomorrowland, Space Mountain, and Star Tours. And this is where you split up because you want different things. So where are we going? What do you think? OK, well obviously I would like to go towards the Castle and Small World because we typically go specially if we have the kids, we go.

00:11:22Well, I take that back now that we have a girl, we have at times split up where you will take the boys and to Tomorrowland and I will take Georgia to Fantasyland. I see, I see. We go towards the castle. OK, all right, since. We don't have the boys. And because I love you so much. Thank you. OK. All right, so we're going to the castle. Let's go to the castle. Oh, I lost. It there we. Go Awesome choice, heading straight towards the castle. Scene 2 In front of Sleeping Beauty's Castle, you and Audrey Anne stroll hand in hand down Main Street.

00:12:10You pass by the Main Street cinema, the Candy Palace. The smell of fresh candy apples fill the air as you press the hub. The majestic Sleeping Beauty Castle towers ahead. Not if you've been to Disney World. Hey, glitter from the sunlight. Don't you diss it. It's a perfect moment. Families are snapping photos, the music swells, and there's a soft breeze carrying the smell of flowers from the surrounding gardens. Standing here, you have a few magical options. What would you like to do next? Walk through the castle and explore fancy land? Hop on the Disneyland railroad? That sounds kind of weird.

00:12:46That's inaccurate. That's behind us. ChatGPT Also candy apples. Didn't that have candy apples? Well, they. But where do If we weren't we, were we still on Main Street? We were at the beginning of Main Street. Oh. OK, all right, all right. And third option, find a spot nearby and grab a snack. It's a little early for. It it's a little early. I, I, I don't usually grab this. I I get coffee. So I I say option one, go walk through the castle and explore fantasyland. Yeah, yeah. I thought we already said that. Yeah, but I guess we were walking.

00:13:25Through Main Street. OK, OK. Let's go to Fantasyland. Love it. You're heading through the castle in the Fantasyland. You and Adrian step through the tunnel under Sleeping Beauty Castle. As you emerge in this fantasyland, it's like walking into a storybook. Colorful banners flutter above. The clanging of the sword from King Arthur's carousel echoes nearby. You catch the sweet smell of cotton candy, and you hear the distant splash of it. It's a small world, boats returning to dock. You won't, you won't. You won't hear that when you are under the castle.

00:14:09You mainly. You're more likely to hear Matterhorn than that. Screaming. Fancy Land is full of charm and a lot of classic rides are calling your names. What would you like to ride first? Peter Pan's flight? Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, King Arthur's Carousel. It's a small world. Well. I think we all know. Well, you know what, honestly, it depends. If we are walking through the castle and we are right there by Peter Pan, what's the wait time? Because if it's under 30 minutes, I'm going to do it because it won't be later in the day.

00:14:44It's true where small. Worlds, you know, typically stays low somewhere it can get high, I guess probably holidays it can get high, but it it usually goes back down, you know where like Peter Pan usually doesn't go back down, Yeah. Assuming this is a park open part, Peter Pan's probably 3045 minutes at this point. No, usually if it if this is park open. If it's it usually doesn't open for early entry. It does open for. No it doesn't. Yes it does. Tim, you take the boys to Space Mountain to Tomorrowland and I take Georgia to Fantasyland. It has happened more than once where they are not open right away because she always wants to

00:15:28write it first and they aren't open. Yeah, I guess. I think they. Open May they might open before 8:00, but they're usually not open like right away and we so we'll go do other things and wait for small world. It's happened to us a couple times, OK. We're going to Small World, all right. Small world, Perfect choice. It's a small world. It is perfect. You and Audrian walk over to the white and gold facade of It's a Small World. Like iconic clock tower ticks away every few minutes. The parade of doll figures, figurines, marches out in perfect rhythm.

00:16:13The whole area feels happy, bright and timeless. There's almost no way, and you board a little boat, sit by side, side by side and set off your cruise around the world. The familiar tune fills the air. It's a small world after all, and you float past dancing dolls dressing colourful costumes, children from Europe, Asia, Africa, South Africa and more, all in singing and harmony. Adrianne smiles warmly, taking every detail, the glittering waterfalls, the shimmering stars, and the charming little details tucked into each scene. You even spot a few Disney characters hidden among the dolls. It's peaceful, sentimental, and totally magical. As you drift along, your next

00:16:59choice approaches. What would you like to do after your cruise ends? Head towards Mickey's Toontown, visit Mickey and Minnie, runaway, and maybe run. Ride Runaway Railway. Get a treat. Jump back into Fantasyland for more rides. OK, wait, what were what were the options again? Mickey's. Toontown. Get a treat. Jump back into fantasyland. I'm not going to jump back into fantasyland if it's just me and you. I would probably go into Toontown and go on Mickey and Minnie's and then after that get a treat that sounds. Like a plan.

00:17:42Unfortunately. Oh, here we go. Let's. Go to Toontown. You and Audrey Anne hop off It's a Small World and throw a little ways over to Mickey's Toontown. As you pass through the cartoon style archway, everything around you look straight out of an animated movie. Colorful, wacky building spinning, mailboxes shimming. Fire hydrants shimming, shimming fire hydrants. I don't know what that means. And silly sound effects everywhere you step. Toontown is buzzing with energy. Kids are running around Goofy's house. Donald's boat is rocking gently in the pond. Tim's favorite.

00:18:22Place to go and the. Disneyland Railroad whistles blows in the distance. Right in front of you are two big options. What would you like to do first in Toontown? Ride Mickey and Minnie's runaway Railway. Visit Mickey's house or explore Toontown Mickey and. Minnie's runaway railway. I right. I mean, yeah, let's. Do Runaway Railway You and Adrian walk over to the entrance of Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway. Tucked inside the colorful El Capitun Theater, the Marquis flashes bright lights and promises of unforgettable cartoon adventure. As you step inside, you're

00:19:09surrounded by silly movie posters and whimsical music. After a short wait, you board your train with Goofy himself as your conductor. Uh oh. The ride kicks off with a harmless cartoon picnic until chaos erupts. Suddenly you're zipping through cartoon scenes, a twister blowing into a farm, a subway station crumbling apart, a tropical waterfowl ride, and even crazy dance class with Daisy Duck leading the way. Goofy's ridiculous driving has you laughing the whole time, and Audrey Anne's laughing too, especially with your ride vehicle starts to bounce to a salsa beat. Oh, that. Is the best part.

00:19:47Finally, after a whirlwind of color and music, you return safely. Mickey and Minnie sing a happy little song about Nothing Can Stop Us Now, and your train pulls into station. You both hop off, a little dizzy but gritty. Now what do you do next? Head to Galaxy's Edge, grab a snack at Toontown. Slow things down with a ride on the Disneyland Railroad. Sorry, I was looking for something that I don't have. OK, so. Galaxy's Edge. Oh, snack A. Toontown Snack A. Toontown and. Disneyland Railroad. Because I very much enjoy the little Donuts at Daisy's Cafe.

00:20:36Let's get some Donuts at Daisy's Cafe in Toontown. Is it called? Daisy's Cafe or is it called? I think so. Cafe Daisy Cafe. I think it's Cafe Daisy. Yes, Donuts. At Cafe Daisy Daisy. Excellent call. I know you and Audrey. And stroll over to Cafe Daisy, the charming little diner in the heart of Toontown. The colorful awnings flutter in the breeze and the smell of fresh baked goodies filled the air. You step up the counter and spot the perfect treat, Daisy's goofy shaped doughnuts. What? Yeah, that's just what it says. Wait.

00:21:12Hang. On I want to see if that is accurate frosted. Sprinkled and almost too cute to eat, They weren't. Goofy shaped last time I was there, maybe they are now. Maybe chat GPD knows something we don't. You each pick one and grab a cold drink to go with it, maybe a lemonade or iced coffee. Iced. Coffee. You find a table. Nearby, sit down under the cheerful cartoon umbrellas and dig in. The doughnuts are delicious, soft, fluffy and packed with sugary happiness. Sugary. Happiness as you munch. The sights and sounds of

00:21:47Toontowns buzz all around you, kids giggling at the Goofy's house, trolley bells clinging, and Chip and Dale chasing each other across the rooftops. It's a perfect little pause, Just you 2, enjoying a sweet moment in your Disneyland adventure. Oh. Wait, Daisy's? They're called Daisy's Goody good goody goody Donuts. I have to like begin in order to see a picture of it. Huh all? Right. What are we doing next? Jump into Galaxy's edge? Yes, they're. Not goofy shaped ChatGPT. Explore more Fantasyland rides, catch a parade or show. Galaxy's edge, right?

00:22:29We're going to Galaxy's Edge. We're going to Galaxy's Edge. It's. Really hard to get out of this. There we go. You still playing music over there? Yeah. Can you? Not hear it I get. OK, here from Toontown, you followed the winding path through a four sedera area and suddenly the landscape changes. You do not walk the galaxy's edge from Toontown ChatGPT you're you're failing here a little bit. You step into the towering rocky outpost of Batu. Welcome to Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, or some people call it Star Wars Land. I I haven't called it that in a

00:23:07long time, I know. I know. Good job. Massive Spires loom overhead. Droids beep and whirl as they pass by. The Millennium Falcon rests in the distance, looking battle worn but ready for a daring escape. Stormtroopers patrol the streets, keeping an eye on citizens. The smells of roasted meats and exotic spices fill the air for Toronto roasters. You hear the hum of lightsabers being ignited somewhere nearby. Adrian looks around and awe, feels like you're really on another planet. Yeah. That sounds like me. Now that you're here, what do

00:23:43you want to do? Ride Millennium Falcons? Smugglers Run, Join the Resistance on Rise of the Resistance, or grab a Star Wars snack? Well, here he goes. Had a snack? ChatGPT well. Depending on what the wait time situation is and I forgot a lightning lane there's. Just so many variables. I would say Rise. OK, let's go on Rise, you and Audrey, and make your way through the winding paths of Galaxy's Edge, the entrance of Rise of the Resistance. The building itself feels massive, hidden in the shadows of Batu's towering rock formations. The anticipation builds as you

00:24:42approach. You can hear the faint hum of starships overhead, the tension of resistance on the high alert. Once you enter, the mood shifts were dramatically. You're immediately in the middle of the resistance briefing. A hologram of Ray appears, and you're briefed on the mission. You'll be infiltrating the First Order Star Destroyer, escaping and escaping enemy clutches. You're outfitted with the secret codes for your mission, all right. We all know this from. OK, OK, we got it. We get it, we get it. As your ride ends, you escape just in time, heart racing, the sounds of blasters ringing in the ears. You've successfully completed

00:25:21the mission, and the Resistance is counting on you. All right, what do we do next? Head over to Millennium Falcon, relax and grab another Star Wars snack. Or head out of Galaxy's Edge and explore more of Disneyland, maybe back to Tomorrowland for Space Mountain. Yeah, let's. Go back to Tomorrowland because this thing is explaining too many details that I already know. Let's go to Tomorrowland. You exit the chaotic thrills at Galsky's Edge and head towards Tomorrowland, where the future feels just around the corner. The sleek futuristic architecture gleams in the sun. The sounds of space Age music filled the air.

00:26:12The big Space Mountain Spire looms in the distance, surrounded by other exciting attractions. You catch a glimpse of the People Mover. Well, technically the People Mover tracks. You see the are still. There you can't capture a glimpse of where. The people mover once stood. And the scent of delicious spaceport popcorn drifts by. It's time to dive into the futuristic fun. And now you have some options. What do you do? Space Mountain? It's time for a high speed roller coaster through the dark, twisting world of Outer Space. Star Tours or Buzz Light LER, Buzz Lightyear, Astro Blasters.

00:27:04Buzz Lightyear, right? Yeah. OK. Space Mountain. You and Audrey Anne make your way over to the entrance of Space Mountain where the iconic futuristic building glows with energy. The line is full of excited guests, all anticipating the thrilling ride through at the Cosmos. As you near the boarding area, the anticipation builds. You can hear the swooshing sounds of the road coaster as it zips around the dark twisting and turning in vastness of space. You hop into your sleek rocket car, fasten your seat, there's no seatbelts, and get ready for the ultimate ride.

00:27:47OK. Wait, wait, wait. All personnel. Clear the launch platform all personnel their launch. Platform. There you go. Nice. The lights dim and then, whoosh, you're launched into blackness of space. The track is invisible in the dark, making every twist and turn feeling unpredictable. Actually, I know, like every turn, all right? You zoom through the stars, dodge asteroids and feel that like you're rocketing through the Milky Way travellers. But there's no time to be scared, as your flight will continue in a moment. There it is, the thrill, the

00:28:24rides, keeps you both laughing and screaming in joy. That's true. I laugh a lot. Laugh on that. Ride. I laugh a lot on that ride. Audrey Anne's voice rises in excitement as you race through the sharp turns of fast drops. The light where's your voice rises in excitement. The lights in the ride blinks like distant stars. The feeling of weightlessness makes your stomach flip. If you ever feel weightless. There's one drop on that where it's, yeah. It's good. Finally, the ride slows and you exit, breathless and grinning from ear to ear. Good all.

00:29:04Right, what do we do next? Head to Star Tours, grab a quick snack or relax with the ride on the People Mover. Wait, we got to pick the people mover 'cause I'm curious to see what it'll say we're doing. Like what? We see, but like, it'll be like, oh. That's that's a good point. It'll say. Like and you see Cinderella's castle and then when we get off of that, what are our options going to be? OK, so let's go on People Mover, let's go on the. People Mover and. Let's see if they puts us on a plane to Florida. OK, Well, you. Head to the airport. Let's go on the.

00:29:40People Mover. OK, well now we're in Disney World and I don't have music from Disney World. Perfect choice People Mover it is after after the wild rush of Space Mountain, it's time to slow down a bit and take the sights of Tomorrowland from a more leisurely perspective. You and Audrey Anne make your way to the entrance of the People Mover, the classic elevator ride that circles Tomorrowland, offering stunning views and a relaxed vibe. As you board one of the sleek cars, you settle into your seats and start gliding gently into the air. The air feels cool as you pass by futuristic buildings of Tomorrowland. The view from above is amazing.

00:30:23You can see the whole park, including Space Mountain, Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, that this inspires a Sleeping Beauty castle. OK, so it says Sleeping Beauty's castle. You can't see Sleeping Beauty's castle from anywhere but in right in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle. As you glide through, the People Mover car takes you through hidden corners of Tomorrowland, You pass the Buzz Lightyear, Astro Blasters, the Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage, and it's shipping the waters. You even glide right by the auto Autopia cars where drivers look like they're navigating the future, though you're definitely taking the more relaxed route. Interesting this is mixing both

00:31:01parks. OK, the narration. In the Background tells you all about Tomorrowland's vision of the future, but it's mostly about enjoying the breezy, quiet moment together. Audrey and smiles, feeling the peacefulness of it all. I'm smiling because I'm confused. Where am I? OK, OK, so next, now that you've had oh, I think said we took a second round that people were we didn't we took a. Second round, like we go on it again, yeah. Because I accidentally pressed it again. Oh OK. So next take a deep dive on the Finding Nemo submarine voyage? Heck no.

00:31:44Never again head to. Adventureland Leave Tomorrowland and head towards Main Street to catch a parade or stroll down bustling St. for some shopping. I. Don't. I don't want to shop yet. I want to go to Adventureland OK? I don't know how long this is going to go. I know. We need to say like is it time for the fireworks yet? Like what time is it? Like ask it, what time is it now? Time is it? Well, in Florida, it's. Is it time for fireworks? Let's speed this up a little bit. Oh, now it's searching the web.

00:32:30I don't want you to search the web, I want you to keep. You guys don't trust ChatGPT now thinks? That I'm like asking a question. I want to go back to the game, see. OK, let's watch the fireworks. We're just going to speed through today. I do want to do some shopping. No, it's I'm messed up. It doesn't know what. I'm sorry I asked you to do something that shocker I couldn't have handle. OK, let's go on. Let's go now. Let's not go on. Let's go watch the fireworks. Perfect way to end the day. Fireworks at Disneyland. So we're not even choosing this option.

00:33:48We're just going to say this is what we're doing. Who? Who says that? It ends my day though, you know. As the sunsets, the park takes on a magical glow. It's true, and the air is filled with excitement. You and Auntreanne find a cozy spot near Sleeping Beauty Castle 3 hours before. It doesn't say no. Surrounded by the happy buzz of other guests or who are up in your business. Seriously. Squeeze. In The lights on the castle start to twinkle as the evening sky darkens. The Disneyland fireworks show begins with a burst of color lighting up the night sky.

00:34:26The music swells and the Disney characters appear on the castle, bringing the fireworks to life in perfect harmony. Tim can't help but be excited at the sight of the spectacular pyrotechnics, the way they explode in the sky, creating a Symphony of light. Adrienne is just soaking in the magic, holding your hand, smiling at the kids nearby because she's crying, because she misses her own. Guess I left. Mine and taking. In the beauty of the moment with Jeet, with each burst of light, the fireworks create a dazzling patterns above the castle. There's a magical moment when Tinkerbell soars high above, flying from the castle and sprinkling Pixie dust across the

00:35:04sky. The crowd cheers in delight. The show wraps up with the grand finale, a cascade of color and lights lighting up the sky and the music Christendoing to an unforgettable, unforgettable peak. The castle sparkles under the final burst of light as the fireworks end and the crowd begins to disperse. What's your final choice? Stroll down Main Street, enjoy the last bit of Disneyland music, maybe grab a late night snack before heading out, take a ride on the Disneyland Railroad around the park to cool down after fireworks, or exit the park with memories of an amazing day and start planning your next Disneyland adventure. Well, main.

00:35:48Street Main St. And shopping, although I wish that since the People Mover is an option, I wish Space Splash Mountain was, Oh yeah, an option because that's really fun to do at night after the firework. Let's do. Some shopping at Main St. or on Main Street. What am I going? To buy a. Perfect way to end the day, some shopping on Main Street. The fireworks are over but the magic of Main Street is still alive. The evening lights glowed softly. The shops along the street are full of the classic Disney merchandise. The shops have that charming old timey feel which are vintage

00:36:28displays, warm lighting and that familiar Disney magic. You and Audrey Anne stroll hand in hand window shopping as you go. There's something special about taking your time to browse the stores after a fun filled day, you pass The Emporium, the largest shop on the Main Street with its endless rows of Disney souvenirs, Mickey ears, plush toys, character mugs and more. Audrey Anne Spark spots a beautiful Mickey Mouse ornament that she's been eyeing while Tim admires a new Star Wars T-shirt. OK, that's. Accurate for you, that is. How about a Dooney and Bourke? I've been eyeing there's. Also the Candy Palace where you can see freshly made fudge and candy apples.

00:37:11The smell of sugar lingers in the air and it's tempting to pick up a last minute treat for the road.
