Never have I ever....

00:00:04Welcome to this happy place. Welcome. Hey guys, it's Tim and welcome to episode 116 of the Dreaming of Disney podcast. I am with my beautiful wife Adrianne. That's my name, yes, you almost forgot. I would never forget. I hope not. Never have I ever forgotten your name. Nice one, nice we. Are we are one week away from being at Disneyland? I go. That's when you're supposed to chime in, but you put something in your mouth and started. Eating a cookie? Yes. It's too far away from the microphone.

00:01:10No, it's I think my my mouth is like touching the microphone. Oh, OK, You're just. Quiet. I'm quiet. Fix it. There we go. Yeah, one. Well from when this airs drops is available to listen to. We will be in Disneyland when it drops a week from then. We usually get a much earlier start to this. Thinking kids on summer break? Well, now also Jack goes to bed later. Yeah. Even even when they were on break, Jack would stay up later and it just threw us off. And now it's like after 9:00, it's like we. Should be in bed.

00:02:06We're old, We're old. Watching our shows? So now we'll do that much later and then we will be tired tomorrow. Well, the thing that's a little easier now though is 1. We have a a bigger house now, so before the kids room was pretty much right off of the living room pretty much. So if Jack would have stayed up late and he all three boys shared a room, there was like nowhere for him to go. But the living room or now he has his own room, it's upstairs, we can be downstairs. So if he is still up, it's like a little easier. He also nobody cares. None of the kids care about the body. I know first you're like, oh, we

00:02:47want to be. They used to ask constantly, now they don't. Constantly. And now they're teens and preteens and they're over it. They might want to when we come back from our trip. I don't know. It's been a year since we've been to Disneyland. Together. Together as a family, a little over with Georgia, the boys. It's been a year, nine months since I've been to Disneyland, which is the longest stretch in a very long time, probably since probably since Jack, between Jack and Noah, so like 12 years ago. Yeah, yeah. But anyways. Well, in the last few years we

00:03:37were going like. Every six months. Sometimes more. Technically. Well, yeah. Like what was it last year? That was our record because we went for Rogers. Was that last summer? No, that was 2 summers ago. It was 2 summers ago because we went for Splash Mountain. Splash Mountain, then we went for Rogers. Then I think we we ended up going for our anniversary because we had to postpone our Disney World trip. That's right. So we went a lot. I went with my sister in January. That's right, yeah. That January before Splash

00:04:08Mountain because we thought it was going to close and then went with friends in February. Yeah, that that year, what was that, 20? Oh, you. Oh yeah. 20 what year? So 2020. 3/20/23. But I mean, we did just go to Disney World in the end of January. But that's true. It's been such a whirlwind since then. It feels like a long time. I don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was that trip. It was just a lot because we we went to Disney, we bought a house, went to Disney World, signed for our house, came home, moved into a. Couple days later, yeah.

00:04:53Moved into our house. Also we all and. Then we did it. Sick in Disney World? Yeah. Yeah, so and, and, and we had planned the Disney World trip when we thought we weren't going to be able to move they. Were like no, we'll do it anyways. And so, well, because by then it was like plane tickets were bought. Like when everything came together for the house, it was like, OK, it's too late now. Like, yeah, anyways, not the point. I had an idea. Yeah. And I rarely have ideas about anything really. But actually I had a great hack

00:05:28today. I came up with a great hack that I will share right now did. You tell me about this. Well, yeah, you picked it up. OK. I want to make. I'm going to make when we go, we'll have to make a reel, even though we have, we could make a reel now because we have so, so, so much video of Georgia with bubbles because bubbles just make for a great picture and great video like it just does. And I know there's families who hate the bubbles. We love them. They keep her entertained. I don't know if we love them. She loves them. OK she loves them but I honestly love seeing how happy it makes other kids.

00:06:10I love when a kid has a bubble blower and other kids, like, come running to dance in the bubbles. Like, I think it's just so sweet and cute when you're walking behind bubbles in your face. And when you're walking behind bubbles and they're blowing in your face, yeah, it gets annoying. But like, it's something so simple and like, kids that you don't even know will just, like, come up and, like, play in the bubbles. And I just think it's sweet and I enjoy it. So Georgia goes through. She usually doesn't even want anything else. She's getting older, so she probably will, but she just wants the bubbles.

00:06:47And we get so many refills of bubbles, so many. And they're not expensive, but we get a lot. This trip isn't as long as our last trip because in Disney World we were there for a week. So we went through so many. But this morning we were out in the backyard playing with bubbles and she had just got a little thing at Target yesterday. And I was like, I was thinking, oh, I got to start packing. I got to get her bubble blower out because I'm not going to buy her new one. You know, just and I thought, Oh my goodness, Target sells huge jugs of bubbles. And while they're not expensive at Disneyland, it's still, they're like 2 bucks, 250 or

00:07:29something like that. But if you're buying them multiple times, so we got a humongous, what is it like a gallon it's. Like a gallon of bubbles. For $4.00 and change. That's cheaper than a gallon of milk. Milk bubbles. And then I'm like, we could just fill up a couple water bottles and, you know, ride on them to make sure no kids drink. Don't drink this. Don't drink this. Mommy, this water tastes funny. And. Soapy. And just refill from there. It saves like at least three dollars. At least. But then so I mean, is it, is it

00:08:10the convenience worth the savings? Maybe not. But I wanted more bubbles for home anyway, because you know how kids are with little things of bubbles and they get knocked over and they spill and then you're like, Oh my God, I bubbled. Yeah. So if you want, if you care about saving even a couple of dollars, there you go. You don't have. To be like, oh, now we got to go find some bubble refills. Mama's got her gallon, Mama's got the gallon. Just if I just take the whole thing. What? Serious about our bubbles? They like, they like look in the

00:08:48bottom of the stroller, Yeah. Is there a problem anyways? OK, but my idea was because I saw, I think it was on Pinterest, maybe it was Facebook. I don't know, a never have I ever Disney World edition. So I was talking to you and I was like, oh, we could do it. You know, it's Disney World, blah, blah, blah, blah. I don't feel like I can make up one muffin Cat is playing with my headphones cord and it's making noises. If I made one myself, I feel like it would be a little biased because it would just be hard to not put in things that I've never done because maybe I don't even think of the things that I've never done any Anyone who's listened to us for a while know

00:09:41what we named her after. We named her muffin. OK, so then you were like you could ask ChatGPT, otherwise known as the entity the. Entity. What's that from? Oh, Mission Impossible. That's right. That's what I like to think of it as the entity. It's going to take over the world. Yep. So I did and it came up with a lot. So I thought we could go through them. You could play along at home. It also asked if I wanted to do a couples edition. We'll see how we're doing on time. Those we will probably pretty

00:10:13much tie on that one. Because we go to. Because we are a couple. So it'd be like you've done this as a couple and you say no and I say yes, but we'll see. So anyways, it broke it down into categories. So I, I have a doodle pad here, OK. And we can keep track and see who loses, who wins and who loses. So you get a point if you have never done it. So the person with the least amount of points wins? Yes. OK. Yes. OK, so as one person reads a statement, if you have done the thing you put, oh, oh, this is they're doing it this a

00:10:54different way. They're saying if you have 10 fingers up, then one person reads a statement. If you have done the thing you put a finger down, the last person with fingers up wins. That doesn't make sense. Again, I would like to remind everyone, if you listen to to our walkthrough, let's have the entity plan our Disney Day episode that it told us to get on the people mover at Disneyland. Technically the people mover used to be at Disneyland, so. OK, so from what I would understand if you've never done it, you get a point. OK. So then if you have the most points, you lose. Yes.

00:11:33OK, so the first category is rides and attractions. OK, never have I ever ridden Space Mountain. I have. We both have obviously never have I ever screamed on the in credit coaster. We've both done that. Never have I ever been stuck on a ride. Both done that. Yeah. Never have I ever ridden Haunted Mansion at night. You haven't. I have. So you get a mark. I get a mark. Never have I ever gotten wet on Splash Mountain. Yeah. Never have I ever closed my eyes during Indiana Jones.

00:12:14When I was a kid, I. Yeah, I did too. So we've done it, so we don't get a point. OK, Never have I ever watched the Fantasmic show. We have. OK, so that's the end of rides and attractions. Again, this is ChatGPT. So if this is lame, we're blaming. Well, I don't think it's it's lame. It's just that we go so much. So we've done like all the things. But those were pretty like, have you ever? Yeah. OK foods and treats. OK. Food and treats. Never Have I ever eaten a Mickey

00:12:45shaped pretzel. I have. We both have. Never have I ever had a Dole Whip. I have. You have. I haven't because I don't like you. Don't like pineapple? Never. Have I ever tried the blue milk in Galaxy's Edge. I have. We have. I have. Never have I ever had breakfast with a Disney character. We have. We have now last one in this category. Never have I ever brought my own snacks into the park. We we have I yesterday I saw

00:13:17someone asking on the Disney World. I think it was a Disney World or maybe it was just a pass holder group or whatever. Like any tips for character breakfast? And I was like, take plastic bags and load up on the Mickey waffles for snacks throughout the day. That I mean, that was that was fun. It was super cute, but man, what's that expensive? I don't know how much and I don't want to know but the food was so good but our kids were getting over being sick and weren't hungry. Yeah, nobody ate. Except for nobody, I ate, and I could have eaten more. And I'm not a breakfast person,

00:13:49so I'm usually not very hungry in the morning. And so it was so expensive for how little. Oh my gosh. OK, well, just help anyways, let's move on. OK, so far it's two to zero. I've done everything. You've done everything. Characters in Magic. All right? Never have I ever taken a picture with Mickey Mouse. I have. I have. Never have I have I ever worn Minnie Mouse ears. I haven't. You've worn Mickey ears though not. Minnie Mouse ears. So I guess you haven't. Never have I ever asked a cast

00:14:24member for a magic moment. See, you shouldn't do that because I don't. Even know what that. Is that's like asking for someone to like do something special for you? My first point, I've never done it and and have you no assuming because you don't like it. I've never. I didn't know that was a thing. You. You. Shouldn't do that because it's like hey do something special for give me something for free. Yeah. Now how have we had that happen? Yes. Have I ever asked for it? No. Don't, don't, don't ask for that.

00:14:56Don't be that person. Well, it's like when I what the immediate, what I think of is when we went when I was pregnant with Boston and I got a wheelchair because I have painful pregnancies and it was mainly for like long walks through the park. Like I would, you know, we'd park it in a land long. Walks in the park. Disney Park, we would park it in a land and I would like go from right, right. But if we were walking across the park, I was sitting, we were waiting for World of Color and it was the 60th. And a cast member was like, oh, no, you can come up here. And we were, we all were like, it was me, you and my sister. And we were like, no, no, like,

00:15:41yeah, I, I was like, no, I just have this, 'cause I'm like, pregnant and can't walk for distances. Like I, I can stand for World of Color. Like, And we kept telling him, like, no, really. Like, 'cause I had already had a lady, I that earlier that day there was a lady walking with a cane and she like glared at me. And I remember thinking like, you have no idea what? Like, I mean, I was obviously pregnant. It's not like I was like a couple weeks along. Like you could tell I was pregnant. Like, and she like looked me up and down, like in the wheelchair and like, I'm like, you can go get one too if you want.

00:16:17But anyways, I so I felt, and he was like, no, no, it's fine. We have plenty of room today and like put us up. But I felt so bad. Yeah. And I, but I remember feeling really bad and we really were like, no, no, it's fine. It's fine. He's like, no, no, no, come on, come on. ANYWAYS, OK. Never have I ever gotten Pixie dusted at Bibbidi Bibbidi Boutique. No. You have not. I don't think I have either. I remember one time we walked by, but they weren't doing it. I saw them doing it. So I guess I haven't do that for free.

00:16:50I know I was going to do it with Georgia this time to see if because I'm I, you know what I thought today I was like, well, you know, I've always wanted to do that with, you know, if I had a daughter, I was like, but I always said I waited till like four or five. So, you know, we'll do it later. And I. Realize no, maybe she is 4. Yes was. I know she's 4 but she's going before this trip. Yes, but still I want to wait till she's well she is really into a Princess. She frozen but need to. Actually do like a. Like the actual thing. Makeover, yeah. Right now, she's too shy. She wouldn't want to sit.

00:17:28Yeah. So maybe when she's like 5 or maybe even 6. We'll see. Anyways, OK, last one. Never have I ever cried during a parade or fireworks show. I have. I have not, you are 'cause I'm a cold hearted. Really. You never have gotten like, all right, I don't think. So I mean, it's like emotional, but I've never like shed a tear. Oh, I am waiting by far. He's a well versed Disney traveler. Fun and firsts Never have I ever taken a photo in front of Sleeping Beauty's castle. I have. Every single time. Never have I ever rope dropped

00:18:11the park. All the time. Yes, every time. It's the oldest up. He's up, he's here. Never have I ever stayed from open to close. I have never have I ever lost. Oh, what is it? Never have I ever lost something and had it returned by lost and found. No, I didn't have it returned. Someone stole. He did lose something. Yeah, Someone stole George's Jack. Jack, Yeah. And we did not get it returned. Now, when we were there last summer, we were sitting out sight of Docking by 7 and we were all sitting there and Boston had put his backpack down

00:19:03and a cast member took it thinking it was lost. And we were like, you just had it like, where did it go? And I was like, go check, you know, go ask when we, the cast member like took it and they did instead of asking the people that were sitting right there. Is this yours? He took it. So they gave it right back to us. Lost and found didn't give it back to us. So I'm going to say no, I've never lost something and had it returned by lost man. OK, we can hear that, Sir. OK. Sorry I get your eyes. Never, ever. OK, never have I ever worn A matching Disney outfit with

00:19:43friends or family. Oh, yeah, we've done that. We've. Been that, those people. I don't think we're. I don't have any plans this time really. I. Don't think we need to. I, I I only did it. I think I did for Disney World. I think I only did the one. I think I just did Toy Story, Yeah. Yeah, we just had a Toy Story. We had all of us were a character and then I had a bluey day. Yeah, because we all, except for Jack, had bluey shirts. So we all had a bluey day. But yeah. OK, This is the last section. Goodnight, buddy.

00:20:20Did you floss and brush? You did, Yeah. Good job. Good job. Way to be. OK, we'll floss. Yeah, that'll cut it out. Maybe. Or will I? All right, love you, buddy. OK, last category, California Adventure and beyond. All right, Never have I ever ridden Radiator Springs Racers. Never. I've never done it. Never have I ever danced in The Avengers campus. Dance. Is that a thing? Well, I'm gonna I I dance everywhere. They should break out. They do the dance.

00:21:05Which I have dance. I I have dance at that too, so. If there's music, I will be dancing, so I. Obviously think of like the The Avengers theme song. You're just like dancing to that dude. Yeah. I can't even think of it. Really. OK, Never have I ever eaten at Lamplight Lounge? I have. We have never Have I ever been on the Pixar pal around even the swinging one? Yeah. Do both. Never have I ever visited both parks in one day. All the time. Every single time. That was it.

We could do go through the couple's one then it's shorter. OK, maybe it's a little shorter. OK. So we'll play it the same way, OK? Romantic Disney moments. Never have I ever kissed in front of Sleeping Beauty Castle. I haven't. Who you kissing? I did go to Disneyland before you, you know. OK, well, I'm sure we have.

00:22:24I'm sure if you look back, we have a picture when we were first married. Oh, absolutely. No, no, the romance is gone. 4 kids are running around OK never have I ever. By the way, we're very much in love with each other. OK, never have I ever held hands on a ride on a ride. Ride. What would we have held hands on? I'm thinking because now we're always riding with the kids. Did we hold hands on the People mover? Did we hold hands when we first got married on like Small World? I don't know. That's a long time ago. We only, we, I don't think we like, we have gone alone since

00:23:11having kids, but I can't recall a time where we have held hands on a ride. I'm just thinking, I wonder if we did our first trip because we were newlyweds, maybe we did on the people mover. Probably, I would say yeah. OK, never have I ever watched the fireworks together. Never have I ever had a romantic dinner in the park. Yeah, we have. We have. Never have I ever said I love you at Disneyland. I'm sure we have. OK, Never have I Oh, this is a new category. Classic couple fun. Are you looking for a picture of us kissing in front of the castle? No, OK, never have I ever worn

00:23:58matching shirts or ears. We have. No, we've worn themed. We've never worn matching. That's true. Like you had a Ken shirt, I had a Barbie shirt, or we've both worn a Lion King shirt or whatever, but we've never like matched, like worn the same shirt or had like the I'm with her, I'm with him. Like we've never done anything like that. That's true. We've done themes, so I'm not sure how to answer that. Yeah. What do they mean? Matching or theme? You know, you know, I see the shirt all the time and it makes me angry. The like most expensive day

00:24:37ever. Yes, the the wife says the happiest or most magical day ever, and the husband wears the most expensive day ever. Yeah, it's like, throw the thing away. So I don't know because we've never or like the yeah, I don't know, never have I ever shared a churro. Well, we usually get our own, but I think with kids we've shared one. We've shared, yeah. Never have I ever take. I don't. I mean, you don't like sharing your food, and I typically want my own dessert, but we probably have at some point. Never have I ever taken a photo in front of the castle together. Didn't we already cover that?

00:25:21Yeah. Never Have I ever ridden a dark ride like Peter Pan's Flight or Mr. Toad together. Wait, what was that? Never have I ever ridden a dark ride like Peter Pan's Flight or Mr. Toad together. OK, we have. Never have I ever screamed together on a thrill ride. We will not scream together. You scream and when you are done I will go, OK, OK, that's the end of that category. Oh my gosh. Chat GT PS GTPGPTI can't ever say it. Starry Eyed Adventures, that's this category. Never have I ever gone on a Disney date night. We have Never have I ever watched Fantasmic or World of

00:26:11Color while cuddling? I'm going to say no, I don't think we have cuddle. Well, unless you count being so crowded at Fantasmic that you have no choice. Yeah, yeah, I think we have. I mean, it's been cold. World of color like you are tall so you stand behind me. Disneyland Paris, we were waiting so cold. We were waiting for the fireworks and it was so cold. Babe Fantasmic or world of color? No. OK then. Nope. You failed. I don't think so. We're never. Not a romantic couple at all. Like you, like you usually are

00:26:48behind me when it's just the two of us. Because you're taller. Yeah. And you might have your arm around me. Is that cuddling? OK, Never have I ever shared a snack at Galaxy's Edge. We don't share food. We don't. We don't share black halves that. Is horrible. I actually don't think we have no because I usually don't get like food there. Well we've got another one. OK wait we're we're two down. I think maybe 3. I don't know. Never have I ever rode. It's a small world just to rest together.

00:27:26I'll take a nap. Yes, we have done that. Never have I ever danced or slow walked to music in the park. Well, there's music playing everywhere. So if you are walking slow and there's music. I like to slow dance in Avengers campus. No, I guess we're going to. We'll have 3 for that one. OK, now now the last category. Disney couple goals. Oh, goals, OK. Never have I ever bought a Disney souvenir for each other. No, we've. We both have done that. Because if I don't bring something back, you get mad at me. Yes, I don't remember what I got you last time I went by myself.

00:28:15It was nothing. That's not true. I know you probably got something. Never have I ever celebrated an anniversary or birthday at Disneyland. We've celebrated several anniversaries in Disneyland. Never have I ever gotten or planned a surprise Disney trip. You. Have. I have not. I have. Did it end up being a surprise? No, but you did try to make it 1. I can't surprise you. And this was before lounge flies and stuff. So you knew, I knew when I was like, I need to go pick something up at Target and I

00:28:47bought a backpack and then you knew I knew. Yeah. Never have I gotten photo pass pictures together. Yeah, we have, We have. Last one, never have I ever talked about getting engaged or married at Disneyland. I told you. I I talked when I wanted to, when we were. I wanted to get, I wanted to get proposed to it Disneyland so bad. But we were poor and couldn't afford to go so. That was not why. Also, I think your best friend. It. Yeah, I really like it. Yeah. Long story that has nothing to do with Disney, so I don't need

00:29:32to go into it, but yeah, no. Well, and there was, yeah, the timing of when we were going to get engaged didn't work out with going to Disneyland. So I was like, oh, was that empty? No, it wasn't. Uh oh, that's. Just a little bit. Was it like, oh, are we going to wait another like 5-6 months to get engaged just so you can propose to me at Disneyland? The answer to that was no. And then the first time we went after we got married, I thought maybe you would like pretend to propose to me again to make my dream come true. But you didn't. I just I was just failed all and. That was 17 years ago and I just

00:30:10told you that now I waited all day. I think I'd do that so I have AI. Want a spicy version? Spicy version? No, this is family friendly. We should not have a spicy version. Or a long distance Disney couple version. So I asked ChatGPT to do a weird and obscure version of Never Have I Ever at Disneyland. Never have I ever licked the petrified tree stump give gifted by Walt Disney. Dear Land, don't like that? What? What? Why would you look at tree stump? Well, you know, you know the one I was talking about.

00:30:59Like the infantier land in front of the Rivers of America. Just like that petrified tree stump. OK. Do you know know what I'm talking? About kind of rivers. Of America. It's just like this weird tree stump that's that's there, that's petrified. OK, I don't. I can't. I don't know. I'll point it out to you next week, but don't lick people. That's that's how you get COVID. But why would you even want to? I don't understand. Never have I ever gotten stuck on the People Mover after 1985. In Disneyland, then no, definitely not, because OK.

00:31:40Never have I ever said thank you to a trash can because I thought it said push. That doesn't make sense. That doesn't make any sense. That makes no sense. Never have I ever tried to count how many mannequins are in a small world before losing my mind. No, never done that. Never have I knocked on the door in Toontown expecting Mickey to answer. Which door I? Don't know, never have I ever gone into the baby care center just to see what it looks like. We've actually both been in there and. Well, I didn't go in just to see what it looked like. I went in there to feed my baby. Yeah, that's true.

00:32:20It's actually very nice in there. It's very nice, except the one in Disneyland is like old, you know, it's like, I'm assuming the original building. And the doorway is very, very thin or narrow. So if you're carrying a baby and you have a diaper bag, it can be a challenge. That's all good. To know never have I ever asked a cast member what's inside the Matterhorn basketball court. I guess there's not one. And what's inside it? What do you mean what's inside a basketball court? It's a basketball court. It's a basketball court. The chat. This this this is making me not want to ask Chad GBGB anything

00:33:10because this is wrong in so many areas. Continue. Never have, I whispered Walt at his apartment window above the fire station. I may have done that actually. So there. Weirdo, never have I ever played spot the abandoned skyway hole. No, I haven't done that. I assume it's talking about Matterhorn. Where it used to be. Is it still there? I don't think it's still there, right? I don't know. So no, obviously I've never done. That never have I sniffed the air vents in the candy palace just to smell the fudge. You read that?

00:33:57Just the smell of the fudge. Just the smell of the fudge. No, because it's right in front of you. You can. Just. Smell it, smell it, smell. All my candles. Never, ever tried to touch the apple at the Snow White ride and jumped when it laughed. I don't know what I'm talking about. Never. If I ever sat in the back of the monorail just to pretend I was in Tron. This is this is Disneyland, not Disney World Chat. Never have I ever ordered something just because it was shaped like Mickey, even if it tasted awful. What are you doing?

00:34:36I'm doing a podcast with you. No, the cat was walking on my laptop. I'm recording a podcast. What are you doing? That was the last one. Sniffing the fudge. Sniffing the fudge this cat muffin cupcake Cupcake healer. That's her full name. If you know what that's from, we can. Oh, we can be friends. Not happy. We can be friends, me and you. Know if somebody knows what we named her after Oh OK all right well that was fun Well if you like this then you want more just too bad because.
