00:00:15Hey guys, it's Tim. And welcome to episode 135 No 134. It's getting ahead of myself. Learn how to count Tim. We're back from our hiatus. Dreaming of Disney podcast? We're back. From our non planned hiatus. No, it's, it's a fine thing. You know, it's life. Whatever we've always talked about, it's like this is, you know, something we do for fun and, you know, we didn't have anything to talk about. We haven't been into parks in a while. I don't feel like there's been any news. But we're also not a news podcast. We're not a news podcast like. Here's the top things that

00:00:49happened to the park system. No, but there have been times where something happened and we we talk about it not like a, these are the top news items in Disney news, but like, not that there's anything wrong with that. That's just not our thing. But there wasn't even anything that happened where we were like, Oh my gosh, I like wanted to talk about it. Yeah, the last big thing, it was Bluey. I mean, the next big thing, Bluey, the thing that just happened this week was Star Wars. So I'll get into that. Oh, will a little bit. Oh, will you? That was last week. Or was it 20?

00:01:1826 it was this past week. Oh, I guess I was. And so, yeah, so we're back. We're back. And you guys should have been in the room setting up this podcast. It was full on chaos, it was. Not not because of me. Those who were streaming us live on TikTok saw the whole thing. They they witnessed the the the you. Knocking things over and. Just moving my chair into the room and I knocked over my drink. Egg went everywhere so I had to go run and grab some paper towels. Ruined all my TikTok shop things. I did. I'm sorry.

00:02:01And so it probably smells like soda in here. Now what? What is soda smell like I. Don't know it smells like Doctor Pepper or. Something soda all right. And so and then just trying to get the stuff going and I was just already flustered. And I will try next time we record a podcast in three months. I will try to have my desk clear. I actually have some. I don't think it's not your desk, it's just the setup in this room is not great. I know. We there's not enough, there's not enough space. There's not enough space from us and the camera because we're

00:02:43your, your desk is up against the wall and right behind us is a bed, right? And so there's not enough room. So that's I. Could I could play around with some some ideas in here? I mean, it's really it's it's a guest room that I have now taken over as AII Feel weird saying office, but basically, yeah. So I could I could play around with some things. It's not like we ever have guests so. Then we're. Going to do lots of guests. I know we actually, we actually will have some this summer. So I have to do, yeah. News to me. You just forgot anyways, so do you wanna? Do you wanna talk about what you

00:03:24wanted to talk about first? And then we'll get into our our little game? Yeah, yeah. I mean, it was just the we talked about a couple months ago when they announced that the the original trilogy timeline is coming to Galaxy's Edge. So Darth Vader is replacing Kylo Ren walking around in the parks. They're adding Luke Skywalker, Han, Leia in addition to Mando, Ahsoka and Boba Fett and Rey who are already there. And then Kylo Ren has been moved to a meet and greet in Tomorrowland. I thought he was gone. No, he's still there, because that's where Darth Vader was. I don't like. Darth Vader had a meet and greet in Tomorrowland.

00:04:08Oh, but in inside the where the the don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me, don't tell me. Launch Bay used to be yes in there. So it's not like I have to. See him? You have to be a like a Visa card member to be able to go in there. And so that's where Darth Vader was. And now they moved Kylo Ren in there. Fine, I don't like Kylo Ren. He got, he got put in the corner. He needs time out. Yeah, so, so, yeah, so that launched last week with the first Star Wars night, which was on the 29th. Nice.

00:04:45And, and so original trilogy characters are there now. Some of the some of the shops and the places have been updated with original trilogy like artifacts, like some of the theming has been changed to fix that that timeline. And oh, the big thing is now music plays. Star Wars music composed by John Williams just plays throughout the entire park instead of just like the OR the land instead of just like the ambience that it was, which was like just like the sound effects and you hear like the the animals chirping and like the Starship sound effects going overhead and all that kind of stuff nowadays play music all over so. Yeah, which I think I like that. I don't know, I, I kind of go

00:05:38back and forth. I like the immersiveness of like feeling like you're in Star Wars, but like Avengers Campus is cool because it's playing all the music for the Marvel movies. But sometimes I feel like it's too much. It's like, is it going to be too much? Like, you know, like too much going on, but you know, guess we'll have to wait and see. We shall see. I will say that we saw a picture of Luke, Leia and Han and I thought the Han was was pretty good. I mean, no one is ever going to be as good as Harrison Ford, right? Like you can't even don't even try. Leia wasn't great and I did not

00:06:14like the Luke. I I know that they're going for episode 6, but his hair was too dark. His hair was too dark. Even in Episode 6, his hair isn't that dark. It's like it's a wig. You guys, you can't do better. It's not like they're like, well, this guy has dark hair. No, he's wearing a wig. So like, make the wig look better, you know? Just do it. Chewy looked good. Yeah, they did it really well. Still there, So Chewy's there there so you can go get your Wookiee hug. Yeah, but we'll see. We're we'll see if we get to well, we will see them 'cause they're not temporary, but.

00:06:54Hyperspace mountains back. Hyperspace Mountain. I know we're really. The the best. It's so good. It's probably I don't want to say it's my favorite. It's pretty much your favorite band. But it's like my favorite Star Wars ride. Like it's almost above. Well, because Space Mountain is your like Space Mountain has always been your top. It got pushed out by Ryze for a little bit and then kind of came back, and then Cosmic Rewind kind of took over everything for you. But Space Mountain has been your favorite since I started taking you. Yeah.

00:07:32And so then you add Star Wars in there, which is your favorite? Yeah, like. I say Hyperspace Mountain is probably the best Star Wars ride. Yes, I'm saying better than Rise of the Resistance. It is fantastic. It is, it is so much fun. I mean, the storytelling, the rise of the resistance is so oh. The. Technology and and all that, but but yeah, hyperspace mountain is. Like the giddy feeling that you get at the. End. And he does mean giddy, I get. So giddy on that ride. He he really does. He really does. He gets very happy.

00:08:07You know what get cozy with Lexi Mount Everest doesn't get? Enough. It is fantastic. It's with a caveat though, it has to be ridden Rd. Ridden Rd. Ridden. Road ridden needs to be ridden at night. It's a million times better at night than it is during the day. You've never been on it at night, Mount Everest. What are you thinking? I'm thinking. I'm thinking, I'm thinking Matterhorn. Yeah, I'm thinking Matterhorn. Matterhorn. What in the world are you talking about? Because Animal Kingdom closes early.

00:08:45That's right, you can't ride Everest. I wonder, 'cause we usually we have always been in the winter, but still we were only there one time when it was open late enough to be dark and Everest was closed. Our very first trip, Everest, was closed for refurbishment. Everest is really. Good. It's so good. It is really good. My R our youngest son, we have just an excellent video of him on Everest for the first time just screaming with pure joy. He was also. Sick. He was also sick. We're gonna get hateful comments for that for. That we didn't he he was getting

00:09:22over a cold. But then after that it hit somewhere else. After that, right after. It was actually right after. That it was right after that, right, Because you guys, you took him back to the hotel, He needed to go back to the hotel and I took the other kids on the safari. But anyways. But yeah. So yeah. OK, but see, but now that you say that, I'm like, Oh my gosh, we need to try to get to, we need to look at the schedule and see whatever days Animal Kingdom is open late enough for it to be somewhat dark and see if Everest is still open because Everest at night. That would be.

00:09:59Crazy would be awesome. I don't. I feel like animal Kingdom doesn't stay open past 6. I it was just that one when we were there for the 50th they did and they had the like light show on the tree of life. But I don't think that's a regular thing. I don't think that matter what. That's a live podcast. Welcome in. We're breaking, we're breaking our rules here on on the podcast 'cause we record and we also go live on TikTok. That's rude. Nice. That's rude. But yes, we are a live Disney podcast right here. You guys. TikTok.

00:10:37Our live isn't getting enough activity. They think we're not here, so let's keep tapping and chatting. So yes, we are the dreaming of Disney podcasts. If you're just joining us in on here on TikTok, we record here live on TikTok and we you can find us on all other streaming platforms wherever you listen to podcasts. Yes, I'm Audrey. He's Tim. We're married and and. Thanks for the fun. They do occasional night time because they do Pandora night at Animal Kingdom. That is what we need, Michelle. We need. Yes, we are also in California and Disneyland is our Home Park, but we also love World.

00:11:20We have been to World three times in the last four years. So we do. We have grown to love it too. But our home, our home is inland. Our home is inland. OK anyways, anyways. So Star Wars Galaxy's Edge new timeline? Cool. Cool, cool, cool space mountain. OK, Now something today in Magic Kingdom going across across the the country here for worlders or for Landers, I guess. But we're talking about worlders in Magic Kingdom. Big Thunder Mountain reopened today after a year and a half of being closed for refurbishment. Yes, it did. And I just. Did I hear?

00:12:05Yes, you heard. What I think I just heard. I'll have to look into it, Michelle. I'll have to look into my settings. Let me look. So as we were, we were in here talking and OK fixed it. TikTok be crazy as. What so we're talking about big time. OK so in my life before we started the podcast, some of our world Disney World friends that are streamers came in Mr. Bluff. If you are on TikTok, check out Mr. Bluff that yeah, it caught on fire this evening, but I think someone else said it too. I'm sorry, I can't remember who, but on the tracks, the tracks caught yeah, it just opened today.

00:13:02I saw the highest wait time I saw because yes, I was checking was 85 minutes and yeah, the tracks caught on fire. But it it obviously wasn't too bad because when I looked and it was open like at at closing it was open. So the the wait time was like 35 minutes towards closing, but they said it had just reopened. But yeah, I. Want to make made it catch fire? It was 2 hours this morning. Yeah, I saw it. Yeah. So that's 120. Yeah. So I saw it. I by the time I looked at the wait time, it was already probably around noon there in Florida and it was 85 minutes. But yeah, something on the

00:13:42tracks on the breaks or whatever, but but yeah, apparently wasn't wasn't a bad enough to close for the rest of the day, but. How bad sad would that be? They just. Opened today that they catch this. Fire. After a year and a half, wow, Like I don't has any ride ever been closed? Like that's a long time to be closed. And Mr. Bluff said he said it was really smooth, but I don't think any, I don't know what else was added, like if there was anything else added to it. Like a new cave and some new elements. That's right, he said. The Cave was awesome.

00:14:21The Cave which I'm like, did we not have? It Rainbow Caverns. I don't. I've only been on it in world once, I think our very first trip, so I don't quite remember. I remember it being a little different and being like, like I say, they oh, they rebuilt. Our friend Michelle was telling us they rebuilt the entire track. Wow. What I I only remember is it was my first ride in Disney World and I was surprised. I didn't know yet that the rides that are in both in land and world are sometimes different. And I was like, that was different. And it wasn't as fun. And I was like, oh, OK.

00:15:04Like which one are you talking about? Big Thunder. And then that just led to the rest of the day being like, what the heck is Space Mountain here? And or not, what the heck is it? I knew what it was. It was Matterhorn. And like, 'cause I, you know, I'll say and I love World. I feel like I can say this now that I do love Disney World that any ride that is in both if they're different cause like Mickey and Minnie's is the same in both but like if they're different it is better in land. Not always the queue. Sometimes the queue is better in world, but the ride itself is better in land. Yes, it is. It's just, it's just, it's just

00:15:37true. And I'm not the only one I've heard say this. Yeah, no, I hear that from a lot of people. I've heard it from you too. No but I've heard it from people that come into my live on on Tiktok that say the same thing. But anyways, I'm glad for our world friends that it is open 'cause it's still, I mean, it's, it's a good ride. It's a fun ride, you know, classic good fun ride. So I'm glad it's open 'cause it's a long time for it to be closed. Yeah. And that was a little news from that, but. So we get into our into our deal. OK.

00:16:09So you guys know if you have listened to our podcast for any amount of time, we're big fans of the Disney World is Awesome podcast. They inspired us in fact, to start a podcast and they are the ones that the boys and I would binge listen to before our first trip to World. We have sense. Oh, that's right. They lowered the height limit in in Big Thunder Mountain and Magic Kingdom. They lowered it, which is kind of crazy. Yeah, I wonder how they did that. Like why? They're like, they're fine, they'll be fine, it's fine. Or like, is it that? Because that makes me think less

00:16:49intense if it was intense to begin with? Yeah, or maybe the restraints are better and so they can have. Shorter, I'll try to take this from you, but it's not giving me the filter. I'm sorry babe, it just really wants to give you those pretty lashes. So Disney World is awesome. OK, so Disney World is awesome podcast and then we have since you know, we have had TJ on our podcast a few times, a few times. We met up with him in world a couple years ago and then he's been on our podcast. He was recently on our podcast when we hit our For Your Mark of doing the podcast. They just hit their 300th episode.

00:17:36Which is crazy. Which is crazy. So if you haven't listened to them please go listen to them. Tell them we sent to you. If you follow them on, are they on TT? I don't think they are. They're on IG on IG. So if you follow them, tell them we sent you. But they have always done at the end of their podcast what they call the world famous three questions because it started with just three dads. It was 3 dads live in the same neighborhood in the law of love, Disney World. So they started podcast now sometimes some other dads come on, but that's why it's called the world famous three questions because each of them at the end

00:18:11of the podcast would ask some Disney related questions similar to a would you rather, but not necessarily yes, like a hypothetical question. So they have now made it into cards, a card game, if you will. It's really just like questions. And so they're super fun. They're super fun, so we're going to go over some of them. We ordered the game, of course, to support, got to support our support. Her dapper dads, That's her name. Because you got the Dapper Dan's, so you got the Dapper Dads. We're going to ask each other some of these. I, we have, I have some cards aside that I've are that I've. Tim's jealous.

00:18:54He wishes he wants to move to the Midwest. I want to move to Minnesota and be. Part of that we can be neighbors with all the Disney World is awesome. Dads, you hear that guys? I want to be part of the Dapper Dads please. TJ, if you're listening, Matt, if you're listening, I know they listen. Landon. If you're listening, I don't do Matt and Landon. Listen, I know TJ listens. TJ TJ listens sometimes. He might just like catch up with our latest episode if he's going to be on or something. But OK, All right, so we're going to ask. Feel free to play along.

00:19:26OK, I'm going to ask you. You're going to go first. I'm going to go first at home, your daily transportation to school or work is now a ride vehicle from any of the parks. How are you getting from point A to point B? Sky liner 100%. Any ride vehicle, babe. Oh ride vehicle. I was thinking transportation. Any. Ride vehicle I'm taking Cosmic. I knew I was like, did you hear the question? The only thing is, do you think you could handle that to and from work? Well, it'd be hours between, so it's true. It's not like I'm going to be writing it, you know, right after I'm going to work.

00:20:07And it has to be the same soundtrack. So either I ran or. Would you get sick of listening to Everybody Wants to Rule the World on your way to work and on the way home every day? If it's combined with riding like Cosmic Rewind, I don't think so. OK. And it has to have the little swirl when you go around the Earth, or is that the moon? Is it the moon not a the? Name might be the moon when you go like in that that swirl yeah that that's like my. Favorite part? Yeah, OK. So are you you thinking of it? I'm thinking too, OK, honestly, I think maybe sky liner because I'm like, OK, what's my favorite

00:20:42ride? Like faster ride because obviously I'm not going to do like a small world boat to take the kids to. Actually, that'd be nice. I could just nap, but I think I might do the sky liner actually. I know it said any ride, but I'm like, I think that would be too much for me. Like I like it more chill. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. That's what I'm doing. I changed my answer. Dumbo. Like. Incredi. Coaster anywhere 'cause you're just going in the. Circle and credit coaster might be too. Well, so are you. And you're only your coaster.

00:21:15Yeah, I guess. That's. True and credit coaster might be too intense for me racers. Oh nice. You're already in a car. It's like it's, you know, chill for a bit and then you go fast. Really you only go like 45 miles? You know what? You go fast. But actually I think I'm going to say sky liner. I know they said right, but yeah, I'd I'd want to take the sky liner around. It's nice and relaxing and yeah. Gina's taking him back to to 90s Disney with Rocket. Rods. Rocket rods? OK, you ask. All right, you get to take a

00:21:51picture in front of only one park icon. Which one are you choosing? I. Think I just swallowed a lemon seed. Now you're going to have a lemon tree growing in your stomach. Should have lemons coming out of your nose. Can you not make me inhale vodka? Please. OK. Oh, man, that was good. That was good. Yes, Thank you, Justin. I'm OK. Thank you, Justin. Justin's always making. Sure, I'm OK. So I asked you the question. Oh, what was it? I was choking on the lemons in

00:22:40my nose. You get to take a picture in front of only one park icon. Which one are you choosing? Which is pretty simple. It's really hard not to say the castle, the three park icons in world that are are like hard for me to choose between. Well, I I shouldn't say that like Epcot and Magic Kingdom. So the castle and spaceship Earth are really awesome. They're just awesome. And I do love the tree of life, Hollywood Tower of terror, like whatever, I guess, whatever. Nobody cares. Nobody, no people care. But I I don't. So if I'm talking world, well, no, not even tell world. OK, so Disneyland, we've got sleeping beauties Castle and

00:23:27then what? Carthage Circle. Or the. Mickey Wheel, Mickey Wheel, thank you for the rest. California adventure is Grizzly Peak I think. You did. You really did. Obviously not mine. You really did Grizzly. No, it's changed though. I feel like in I feel like in California Adventure, the icon has changed. Sometimes you see Carthay circle, sometimes you see the scary fun wheel. Ferris wheel. Ferris wheel and sometimes you see Grizzly Peak, so I don't really know what the official icon is. Well, Grizzly Peak was like in

00:24:10the logo, so. I The Waltz statue fire station with Waltz. Oh, that's her. Oh, that's Gina's. That's Gina's answer. The waltz statue. That's a good one, Org. I mean, I'm just and and this is this is hard for me to say because I Disneyland is my favorite, but I might pick Cinderella's castle in Magic Kingdom. It's not that it's my favorite, but if I'm going to take a picture the most like eye-catching whoa is Cinderella's castle. Like, it's like, you know? Yeah, Disney Paris. Oh, the castle in Paris. The castle in Paris actually looks like Cinderella or

00:24:57Sleeping Beauty's castle where Sleeping Beauty's castle in Disneyland does not look like Sleeping Beauty's castle. The one in Paris actually looks like Sleeping Beauty's castle and has like the square trees. Speaking of Cinderella's castle, I have a hot take. You don't like the new paint job? I don't like the new paint job. I don't either. I prefer the pink. I know and I think it's because it's the first one. We we went when during the 50th when it was pink. That was our first trip. So we are attached to that one. It's also similar to Sleeping Beauty's castle in Disneyland, which has more of a pinkish tones to.

00:25:32It true, I will say that someone I can't remember who it may have been Main St. Voyager saying like the projections pop more and I have like Cena on other people's lives and it does look, it does look nice. No, it does it. Does but I. I think the pink and the the Blues, it looks more elegant to me. And this one, it just looks blah and look, it's the same as like millennial grey, you know? Have you? Millennial Grey I have heard. It's, it's, it's the trend of, of when millennials paint their walls in their house like a light grey that, you know, there's a trend of like. Everything.

00:26:13Grey there was turning millennial. Grey walls right now. That's true. I used to. Millennial Grey. And so that's what it looks like to me. Like it's just like it's on trend to me. Yeah. So yeah, that's my hot take. I, I, same thing. I, I think it's because the only times we have gone to world have been with the pink castle. So that's what we have grown attached to. But yeah, I, I, I think I'm going to go with Cinderella's castle just because it is so like, well, I mean, I am a Lander through and through. I will never change that, but

00:26:55both of my pictures on TikTok on this account and my other account are in front of Cinderella's castle because it's Jamie get out. But because it's just it's it's just very impressive. Yeah. Not my favorite, it's not. My favorite Mr. Toad wildlife. It's not an icon to. Me it is. No, it's not. Oh, wait. Hello. Hello. What small world? Can small world be an icon in land? Oh, small world. Small world at night. Lit up is the most beautiful thing you'll ever see in your life.

00:27:32And I have four children. Just kidding. I mean, I'm not kidding. I do have four children. But small world at night. Yeah, it is pretty. Cool. Not in, not in world, not in the world. You don't even know where it is. You're like, where the heck is small world? The first time we went there, I was like, where in the world by? The tangled bathrooms. Where is. Oh, you know what? Tangled bathrooms. There's a icon. So grim grinning dads, our friends on here came in and he said I don't know if he's still in here, that he thinks in world Small world should be turned

00:28:01into a tangled boat ride and what's the restaurant Village House should be turned into the Snuggly Duckling. Oh, that's, that's perfect, right? It's like, why haven't they done that yet? I can't believe I'm OK with a small world going away. But in in world, it's small world it's not it's not as great, OK. Next one, next question, question me. You're asked to be the voice and face for an attraction pre show. Which one will it be? Face and voice of a pre show. Oh my gosh, I don't know. What what? What would I be good at? Now, does it have to be a ride where we can make it whatever we

00:28:51want? I guess, But like a ride that already has a pre show because like Space Mountain doesn't have a pre show. What's you know? What's the where is that? Soren. No, no, no. In Tron Epcot in Mexico, the. 3. Caballeros. The three Caballeros. OK, no, I'm Navi River Journey. Navi, there it is. You know Navi River Journey needs something needs. Something to make it better. It's on the pep it up. I'll do that. I'll pick that one. Welcome to Navi. Is that the place? I don't know is that. Navi is the is.

00:29:34The people. Oh, OK. I don't. I've seen Avatar once, 15 years, 16 years ago. Pandora is the planet. Come on. You haven't. You haven't watched the third one. You mean Fire and ash? I've only watched the 1st 116 years ago in the theaters. Missing out. I just saw. Third one's pretty. Good, the fairy to the park. You that? You know what? Yeah, you could be the voice of the fairy. What would I be pre show? Can it be like the the announcer before the fireworks?

00:30:12I want to be the I want to be the guy who like disappoints everyone at Disneyland be like due to due to winds in the upper atmosphere. It's the worst. The worst? Spectacular, wondrous journeys. Yeah. Is postponed or cancelled? Justin has never seen any Avatar. Amy's going to attack you. Why? She loves. She loves Avatar. The second one devastated her. I. I like Avatar, why is she attacking me? I said Justin, she's going to attack Justin because Justin has never seen them. Oh, the monorail voice.

00:30:51That's a good one. That's a good one. I do. I want to be before the fireworks, but like the announcer of like it's happening, not the one that it's not. You want to be Julie Andrews. You want to narrate it? Worlders don't even understand because they didn't have Julie Andrews narrating any of their fireworks. We got Julie Andrews narrating the 50th celebration Fireworks to the song Wishes. But it's not called Wishes Fireworks. It's called something else that I can't remember. So you want to be known for disappointing everyone? Yes.

00:31:28Yes. All right, next one I do. I want to disappoint everybody. What is your favorite flying attraction? We have Tinkerbell flying too, Amy, what are you talking about? We have Tinkerbell. We got Baymax. We have Baymax and Tinkerbell and the Blue Fairy. We got it all. Oh, oh, oh, oh. And Julie Andrews, that's right. Anyways, what was the question? What is your favorite flying attraction? My favorite flying attraction. So like, OK, let's let's name him Soren Dumbo. Peter Pan. Peter Pan. Aladdin's magic carpets. Aladdin's magic carpets.

00:32:15I've never been on that rock. Astro Orbiter. Star Tours. Star Tours smugglers, would you consider cosmic flying? Yeah. Flight of passage. I was about. To say that that might have to be it because it is really amazing. Flight of Passage is amazing. I, I mean, if it wasn't Flight of Passage, I'd probably say unless I think of something else, Peter Pan, I love, I love the book, I love the movie, I love Hook. I love like just Peter Pan in general. And so the ride in Disneyland was always one of my favorites. Hello, Space Mountain. You're flying through space.

00:33:12Yeah, for me, Mr. Toad's Wild Ride. Stop saying Mr. Toad's wild ride for everything. It's my thing. No, it's not. I'm making it a thing. It's not your thing. But yeah, I think I have to say Flight of Passage because even though I've only seen Avatar once in the theater 16 years ago, the first time we wrote it, I cried. I didn't cry cry, but I tear. I had like tears and I was like, what? Skylander. Oh, the gondolas that used to go through Matterhorn. You don't fly in the cars, Jamie. But yeah, I think I have to say Flight of Passage just because

00:33:55it is so incredible. Other than that, it would be Disneyland's Peter Pan I It's short, the long, the wait is long, but it's just so pretty. And I love Peter Pan so much. Cool, my turn. Question me. You're building a Mount Rushmore of characters. Which 4 characters are you choosing? Oh, this is going to take a whirl. Luke. No, Rey. No, no. Kylo Ren. Poe Dameron. You are going to be sleeping in the guest room. And Fen. Because you picked Kylo Ren, who I hate.

00:34:37We all you guys, we don't fight about much. We don't fight about much. But I got honestly mad at him after we saw the Force awaken a for the Force Awakens in theaters because he liked it and because he like wasn't as upset at me about just in case anyone hasn't seen it. Oh going with mostly the Fab 5. I hate Kylo Ren. Like I don't like any of the new movies. I don't like 6-7 or 789. I don't feel like they were needed. I don't feel like they should be a part of the Star Wars universe. I, Tim and I are going to get another fight. Granted I was about 6 months pregnant but still.

00:35:21I was so mad that he liked it and that he wasn't as upset at me about what happens in that movie. I almost walked out, like if I wouldn't have been in pain because I was so pregnant. And yes, is that so pregnant from some people? Maybe not for me. I have huge babies. I was very pregnant and I was too tired to walk out. She hates them because Kylo kills Han Solo. I was not trying to be a spoiler, I was trying to not be a spoiler. If you haven't watched Force Awakens. I don't feel like that was necessary. I don't care if Harrison Ford always, I don't care if Harrison

00:35:58Ford didn't like the character and I always wanted to be killed off. I don't care each movie. If you if you watch 7, it's like watching 4. If you watch 8, it's like watching 5. If you watch 9, it's like watching 6. They just make it. It's not needed, not needed dumb characters. And then Ray is all like attached to Han Solo. Like she even knew him. She knew him for like 2 seconds and she's like connected to him. And then Leia who doesn't even know her is like, come here, I'll come for you. What so stupid? Tell me how you really. Feel I don't like those movies.

00:36:33All right, for realsies. Tim just spoiled it for you. What? Did he really? Did he really spunky? Rick Justin hasn't seen Avatar. He may have not seen the new Star Wars. You know what, Justin? You don't need? To Justin. You don't need to. If you haven't watched Force Awakens eleven years after it came out. But why did he have to? I don't think he needed to. He's never seen it. You know what, Justin? You're not missing anything. Put them out of your mind. 7-8 and nine don't exist. He. Doesn't know how what happens

00:37:08though. 6 is a beautiful ending. It's a beautiful ending and we can leave it there. We can leave it there. I I don't see why he had to Michelle. Why? Why? He knows what he needs to do, I do. Like Rogue One, I do like Rogue One because it is a origin. Rogue One is really. Good. It's not adding anything. And the series Andor is also very, very good. Hello, yes, May the 4th. It's a fantastic day. Oh, for her it is May the 4th. Yeah, OK, for realsies for me, Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie. They are Disney. Characters they're.

00:37:53No. Bought by Disney, Lucasfilm is. Bought by Disney, not made by Disney. Still no no. Upset you by that? Woody, Buzz, you were obsessed with Buzz last year. Remember your buzz and your buzz sheets. We still have. Some of his Toy Story sheets from when he was a little boy we still have. Them. We still have them. His mom gave them to me. I'll do. That's true, I do love Toy Story. You love Toy Story Story. Also I mean Pixar also something bought by Disney was not made by Disney.

00:38:30Pixar and Disney made it star Lucas. And no, Pixar started making it before Disney distributed it. Oh my gosh. OK. Disney was the distributor for Pixar. Movies they would did not own Pixar until after The Incredibles. Oh, the Incredibles. OK anyways. I'm going to say mufasa Mufasa Rapunzel getting spicy. Here on the. Podcast night guys we fight sometimes about. Star War, your brother is a purist. My my brother is a. Purist and I grew up, that's who introduced me to Star Wars and his.

00:39:18Yes, his. Influence is is very present in my Star Wars opinions I. Love you well. You also love my brother. So it's OK, We're all good. OK. I was friends with your brother before I was. Friends with you. That's true, Mufasa. Rapunzel. So you're going. With the medley. Here you're not keeping to the. Medley of. Characters, I'm not going, I'm not going to the same movie. No, I got. To spread it out, I got to spread the love. Can we do Hamilton? I mean, if we're going on technicalities here, I mean,

00:40:00Disney bought the the movie rights to Hamilton. So you do you know. The question, Manuel. Me. Miranda and OK, the question was you're. Building a Mount Rushmore of characters. Which 4 characters are you choosing? Alexander Hamilton. It's hard, George Washington. Stop. Aaron Burr, OK, that's. A Hamilton. Mount Rushmore. OK Mufasa Rapunzel, this is really hard. Sleeping Beauty. Flynn, Jamie knows. Oh, Mary. Poppins shoot. I can't just pick four.

00:40:43OK, maybe I'll kick out Mufasa. I love Mufasa but. Rapunzel, Mary Poppins. Mufasa I do. Love Woody too. I might. Pick Woody and Flynn. I kicked out Sleeping Beauty. All right, go to the next. Question I am overthinking it I. Overthink. A lot of things he does I overthink. Most things. He always tells. Me stop thinking. So much. Just do it. Go ahead. Good morning. Ron this. Would kind of be easy. Because we have a park named after this.

00:41:25If you could create an attraction that represents your home state, what would it be? I guess we don't have an attraction based off of California. We have a whole park based. We have a California IF. You could wait. If you could base a if you. Could create an attraction. That represents your home state. What would it be? So not an attraction that already exists. You're creating one. Yeah. Yeah. Good night bud. Good night Bud. Love. You. Yes, Soren over. California.

00:41:57You really can't top that if you're from California. Like, what else are you going to do? Zorn over California? Zorn over Texas. Is there a smog ride? Let's. Yeah, let's do a slow. Dark ride of traffic. You know, Tim used to live in Texas. I did so. What would you make? It in when you for your from your Texas days. Oh my gosh, he didn't like. Texas. I did not. Enjoy Texas? My time in Texas, Kentucky, You have the Kentucky. Derby. Soaring over America?

00:42:29Yes. That starts pretty soon, right? July, June, June. Yeah, Pretty. Soon, I don't know the exact date. Do you agree, Tim? I would just take the test track and revamp it to the Indy 500. That's cool. You're in Texas. Where was he? Do you want to say it? Well, you're not there anymore, so do you mind saying where you were? I was in College Station. For a couple of years my family lived there. May 26th Soaring. Over America. I didn't realize it was that soon. OK.

00:42:59I hope that we get to go and see California one more time. Yeah, we. I mean, if you go down South, do lingo, do lingo's giving me a hard time. Like LA traffic is absolutely horrible. OK World is 26, Disneyland is July 2nd. OK I was like, I thought it was later Disneyland. It's later. OK, Fort Hood is where your dad went it. Was Texas, it would be some type. Of football ride. They love their Friday. Yeah, College Station. Would be your Friday Night Lights was yeah. Big deal. I think yeah, I.

00:43:39Mean I don't know. How you would top Sauron over California for a Californian like it's it's or you can go pick. Food go go through the orchards and go through. Apples or. Not apple nose. We do have a lot of agriculture. Here, go collect your own. Almonds we have lots of. Almonds in the Central Valley. Lots of almonds. So many almond orchards. They're beautiful for one week in February. Absolutely gorgeous. Did you know that? California produces more oranges than Florida. People think of Florida as like the We're taking your icon Florida.

00:44:16Capital of oranges but. Actually, California produces more oranges than Florida. Now you. Know the California. Produces more of the orange. Fruit, like the the the fruit you buy at the grocery stores produce. Florida is known for their orange juice. They they. Juice the oranges most of orange juice. Comes from Florida, so there's your little. Tidbit Little. Little trivia. Independent country. It could be Danny. We were just talking about almond orchards. She's also in the Central Valley.

00:44:57So we have talked about, we've talked about all the Ormond almond orchards if you listen to. Our podcast, the episode about we did the I did the panel on California Adventure. Yes, I remember that. Episode there was actually attraction. To where you there they had a farm attraction where you could go pick your own stuff. That's cool. It was like an it did horrible. Nobody liked it and so they quickly got rid of it. So it didn't even. Last. Like the full year it turned into a bug's land. I saw where the bug's land now bug's land. I know that's on there.

00:45:32OK, do another. Do an. It's your turn. Oh, it's my turn. It's your turn. Oh, that's right. You have one hour in. Any park? What are you doing one hour? Oh, what am I doing? What am I doing?

You, you, you create your own reality. You, you, whatever you want. I'm, I'm getting a snack. I'm going over to Galaxy's Edge, getting my, uh, inland. Inland, Yeah, we don't drink that. Umm, Disney World No budget black calf garbage and I'm getting a black. Half cold brew in Galaxy's Edge

00:46:52in Disneyland. Maybe I'll get some cough some cookies at Harbor Galley going back to Magic Magic Kingdom. Going back to Main Street and. I'm shopping nice. That's. What I'm doing, OK, you got a, you got a sign language. They're watching us, people listening to us. They wouldn't see that she signs all the time, I said. IA little. Bit I have people in my life that are fluent and so I know a little bit can shop in DCA. You can. You yellow cup shopping. Oh, yellow cup shopping in DCA. That's what Gina's doing. Oh, it's a yellow cup. Oh yes, I taught my. Babies some things like more

00:47:42and. Water. Milk. Do you sign? Are you fluent? Spunky. Red please, but we taught. I always mix them up, please and thank you. And so we taught one of our boys, please, wrong or thank. You no, no please and. Thank you, sorry, sorry and please. And so we taught one of them wrong. And so they were always saying sorry when they meant to say please. I can't. I think it was. I think it was our second. That we that we did that anyways.

00:48:12All right, last one. Mickey pretzels, Mickey ice cream, Mickey waffles. Which 2 are you keeping? This is. Super easy Ira, not fluent, but getting there. That's awesome. Spunky red Mickey waffles. And what were the other two Mickey pretzels? And Mickey ice cream. Oh, ice cream and waffles. Yep. Getting rid of the pretzels. Get rid of the pretzels. All right, let's do one more that that one was. Lame. That was too easy. Yeah, Which? Water Ride. Tops all others Splash Mountain. I know it doesn't exist, I don't

00:48:52care. Yeah, Splash Mountain, that one splash. Mountain that. One's too easy, I know. Come on Dapper dads, which park playlist are? You most likely to listen to all day long Main St. Which park? Disneyland. Yeah. Yeah, It's the best. Tiana's. Tiana's. Tiana's is Tiana's. I I don't know if it's true. You know, we've heard the rumors that you get more wet on Tiana's than Splash. This last time when Tim and I went on it, we were in rows one and two. And good night.

00:49:31Nurse it three times a wave of water went over my head like in Disneyland. If I. Thank you, Shay. I agree it's. More of a drop. If I want to have been wearing a poncho. Don't get me started on my soapbox about ponchos and people that get mad at people or make fun of people with ponchos because. Well, here I'll get started. Here's the thing. Some people, some people's hair does not. Look good when it's wet, even if you put it back. Some people I know I hate my hair when it gets wet. Your hair looks. Horrible when it's wet.

00:50:20Some people haven't taken a family picture yet. Some people have sensory issues and don't like getting their clothes wet and still want to enjoy a water ride and maybe get splashed but not drenched, soaked so. Don't judge people. With ponchos it makes me mad. I see posts about it where people are like why do you even go on the ride if you're going to wear a poncho? Why do you care? If you want to get soaked head to toe, go for it. Sometimes I wear a poncho sometimes I do not. Depends on my mood. If it's hot, maybe I don't sometimes. Why do people care? Exactly Amy but I've seen this

00:50:56multiple times and it makes me mad. Like, one of our kids hates being wet, like his clothes being wet. But he likes those rides. He likes splash Tianas. He's never done Grizzly River Run because he gets seasick. And so the rock came back and forth. We're like, yeah, probably not. But he but he wears A poncho. He loves the ride, but he doesn't want to be soaked. So, like, back off, OK. Anyways, I would have been like, looked like, I would have jumped into a swimming pool. I would have been that wet like 'cause the water went over my head multiple times, but also. Grizzly River Run. Is fantastic.

00:51:34It's so good at night. It's so any ride, it is any ride at night, any ride where you are outside, it's better at night. Same with Cali. Yeah, I haven't been on Cali river Rapids, but but still I'm going to say I I know it's Tiana's now, but I'm going to say splash. That was that was. The last one, OK, this is a good. One to end it with, because we all know your answer because of your shirt, all right? Wait on me, which snack or treat? Is a must to make your trip magical. Mickey Pretzel shut. Up Churro just cut. Holes, Oh. It's a churro.

00:52:17You sound like me. Jamie when I was a kid sledding, we didn't need to buy a sled. We had trash bags. That's what we used. And I yes, I lived in the mountains where it snowed every year. Churro Dole Whip Churro California grill menu. Just the whole thing. I am going to say yes, we use trash can. Well, at first, Gina, we lived in apartments for most of a lot of my young childhood. So we didn't have our own trash cans. We just had the apartment dumpster. So when we got a house and we had our own trash cans, we upgraded to trash can lids. We still didn't have a sled.

00:52:56We had trash can lids. Before that it was a trash bag. Oh. Cheesecake caramel apple The garlic cheese bread is really. Garlic cheese bread is. So good, so good, but I have to have a churro. Even if it's not, it's definitely in my like top five it's. Not my top. I don't even know what my top is honestly. It's like everything, you always get something different. I always get something different. Except for a churro and black calf, cold brew is usually you like the. The lavender pretzel. Or the the lavender. The Lavender.

00:53:33Cream cheese pretzel. That was for the one hundredths. I don't. They don't have that all the time. The mini churros. Tim, can you put some popcorn in the light up bucket? No, let me just we don't put popcorn in that. It's for looks only. We don't use it. The black half cold brew in. Land is so good to do with your eyes and again, I hate to say it because I don't want to pick on it, you guys, but they make the black half cold brew differently in world. It's not as it's it's sweeter in land and it's not super sweet because Tim doesn't like super sweet, but it's sweeter. It's almost like they use what

00:54:11did someone say to me? It's almost like they use buttermilk in world as opposed to like cream cheese in land. Like it's, it's more bitter in world. Yes, it's decorative. It's just decorative. You do need a spoon. You guys, last time we were there, Tim threw out his cup with all of his Cocoa Puffs before I well, but usually you give them to me and he threw it out before I could take them. I was like, where are your Cocoa Puffs? I take your Cocoa Puffs. I do wish they would let you. I do wish they would let. You get extra of the cold foam cream, but yeah, you asked and they're like. They were like, no, we don't do

00:54:48that. You. Don't do that. You know what? It's the water, maybe. Yeah, only. For looking, not using. I use you the other day I wore my tiara on here, you know. I use my March. All right, do I use all my? Dooney and Bourke's. No, you haven't even used. Like I haven't used the 70th 1. Because it's white and I'm scared. I'm scared. I've used my Rapunzel one. That's true. That's true. All right, well, thanks for playing along with the world famous. Three questions.

00:55:22She brought extra. Cocoa Puffs or extra cream I. Yes, I wear my Disney. Merch. Wait, hang on. I need to know about this. Gina Mamacita brought extra Cocoa Puffs or extra of like, did she bring her old own cold foam cream stuff? Because it's not just cold foam, it's thicker than that. I feel like. What did she bring? I need to know. Oh, Cocoa puffs. OK, I want extra cream.
