Episode Transcript:

Chris 0:28
Welcome aboard Disney fam. Hey there everybody. Welcome aboard indeed. My name is Chris and I’m Kelli. And welcome to this week’s show. Kelly is wearing her 2021 Flower and Garden Festival ears tonight they’re adorbs

Kelli 0:49
I think they were called the poppy ears or something. I will say they’re they’re not what I would consider me. Flower flowers in lace and very yellow. But they are repping 2021 Flower and Garden. I do just for those out there wondering find it difficult to find good ears and a Flower and Garden Festival. So for those creating flowering garden years branch out a bit. Well,

Chris 1:14
I saw some for this year’s festival. Orange burgers, orange burgers. Yes. And I think we had to eat some of those.

Kelli 1:21
I think so too. Hey, honey, where are people listening to us from?

Chris 1:24
I’m so glad you asked. We this week we had downloads from Murdoch, Nebraska, Nan Murdoch, Nebraska, excuse me is literally described as a village of 236 people between here in Lincoln and Omaha. Really?

Kelli 1:42
Yeah. Well welcome Murdock.

Chris 1:45
Murdock, Nebraska. We are so happy to have you here.

Kelli 1:48
Yes,

Chris 1:49
St. John’s Michigan. This is just north of Lansing, Michigan right in the middle of the great state of Michigan. Okay. Welcome St. John’s. One of our favorite towns in America. This is not a town. This is a glorious destination for fun. Las Vegas, Nevada.

Kelli 2:07
Las Vegas, Nevada, baby.

Chris 2:10
Wow. Okay. Yep. Las Vegas joined us and London in the UK. London London proper baby. We have we have listed all sorts of villages and townships and suburbs of London. And in Michonne, London a lot describing where those places are. Right. But this is the first time we’ve actually called out London. Do you think it’s

Kelli 2:34
the queen?

Chris 2:35
I think it is.

Kelli 2:37
I mean, it’s somebody from the monarchy right for sure. Well, I

Chris 2:40
mean, they’re all you know, they branch out so I mean, branch out might not be the best description is a pretty straight tree. Probably the queen I think maybe so I think Liz is is big. We’re huge and Buckingham Palace. Well, because

Kelli 2:55
I was talking about corgis In last week’s episode. And she got wind of it. She got wind of it. You know she loves corgis. Welcome queen. Long live the Queen. What do they say? Keep Calm and no, God Save the Queen. Oh God Save the Queen. God save the Queen.

Chris 3:16
They say keep calm and carry on. Okay, but they also say God saved the God Save the Queen.

Kelli 3:20
I was close, keep calm and protect the coin. It’s gonna be a good one today.

Chris 3:30
We did we did do our running today. If anybody’s been keeping up with the fact that we’ve decided to do a 5k Maybe a 10k. I’m not even going to Min fasn I think maybe more than that. But we did do our work. So we both reached new goals and we went long distances for us and might be a little punchy. I might

Kelli 3:50
be punchy and a lot of pain and maybe I overdid it. I don’t know. You’d

Chris 3:55
be the judge. Okay, so you’re ready for some Mainstreet? Action. I’m

Kelli 3:58
ready. All right.

Chris 4:01
So some Disney general Disney stuff here. Gotta mention the whole kerfuffle with Jay Peck and his response, lack of a response then that first tried to clean up that bad response. And then ultimately, his letter company wide email to all employees apologizing for how he bungled? Disney’s response to Florida is what is being referred to as far as don’t say gay bill, right

Kelli 4:31
within the same year that they launched the fifth key of inclusion. Well done J pack.

Chris 4:36
That’s a fair point.

Kelli 4:38
It’s a fair point. Well done. J. Peck.

Chris 4:40
He did vow that Disney will suspend all political donations to Florida in Florida until further notice or further review or whatever. He tried to give. What was it 5 million what how much money he

Kelli 4:52
tried to a million dollars to LGBTQ human rights campaigns? Yeah,

Chris 4:56
and they turned it down. Not a great way for people

Kelli 5:02
turning down your $5 million.

Chris 5:03
I think Bob is feeling like he gets hit on a lie he and he brings it up

Kelli 5:10
he did he screwed that up. You don’t add a fifth key of inclusion and make a big to do about it. And then the same year, just dot and say anything about the don’t say gate bill in Florida it directly impacts a significant number of their employees and their patrons. Absolutely. That was a mistake, right? Man.

Chris 5:29
I think it was an easy decision and he bungled it. Which makes you wonder, what does it take to be the CEO of a corporation like Disney? Disney is pausing all business in Russia, which I think is great. Of course, in response to Russia’s invasion of of Ukraine and all of the human rights atrocities that are going on there. I think business did they have in Russia? Any business that they might have here? I mean, Disney plus, I think is available in Russia.

Kelli 5:59
Does Russia have a Disney park? No,

Chris 6:02
they do not. But I mean, to me, ESPN and you can?

Kelli 6:08
Okay, okay.

Chris 6:09
Yeah.

Kelli 6:11
Okay, okay. Okay. Yeah, Lou, I tend to forget all of that. I get very tunnel vision. Yeah. Okay. Well, then good for them. Yep.

Chris 6:20
So this is very exciting. According to sources at blog monkey, by the way, again, shout out to blog Mickey, we love them. We get so much of our news feed information from their site. They’re great. And according to their sources, Disney may be prepping to relaunch the minivan rider service. It’s about time we love it. It’s it’s more expensive than your average lift. But it is so nice. It was so

Kelli 6:43
great. And it definitely was very useful to families with small children because of the car seats and and the drivers that we had were just pure delight. Absolutely. And the last one we had like really loved love John this jasm minivan driver. Yep.

Chris 6:59
So you know, and they pick up and drop off closer typically than where your average Lyft and Uber they’ll take you right up to the gate at Magic Kingdom. Right?

Kelli 7:07
Not in your typical rideshare rises.

Chris 7:10
Right it’s great. Traditional meet and greets. They believe may come to Walt Disney World soon air quotes soon traditional meaning you can actually hug the princesses okay. I don’t actually don’t know how. Okay, it is for adults to hug the princesses but the kids can for sure. Right.

Kelli 7:30
They’re the ones with all the germs in the sticky hands.

Chris 7:34
They’ve already done this and at least one international Park I think Paris maybe have already really started allowing for hugs. Yeah, one of the one of the Twitter feed people that we that we watch. Called it out recently. Other sites have said that traditional meeting rates could be showing up quote soon. Okay. Yep. Some Magic Kingdom news Tron lightcycle. Run is getting close to testing. They may already be testing. They’ve put they’ve put the ride vehicles on the tracks. They started push pull testing. I know and like there was a picture out there of flooding around the internet of the like the dummies that they put on the ride.

Kelli 8:17
I was gonna say who has to be first?

Chris 8:19
Yeah, right. The first human the

Kelli 8:23
first human, even after they’ve written a whole bunch of dummies. Well, you know, dummies, just go fly in all.

Chris 8:31
The dummies go flying off everywhere. Then I want to know who the first human is. It’s gonna be on it

Kelli 8:38
would be hilarious to watch. That doesn’t happen to me, Larry.

Chris 8:44
Luckily, this thing has operated in, I think Shanghai. Right. But it looks very excited about him. There was a video assistant manager that was posted out there this week, Disney Parks posted a video of an assistant construction manager who rode Tron lightcycle in Shanghai as a touchies Chinese. So she rode Tron lightcycle in Shanghai before she ever became a Disney employee. And now she’s an assistant construction manager on the project. That’s

Kelli 9:15
all great. Love those stories.

Chris 9:18
They’re great. Lightning Lane Jeannie plus Jeanne plus lightning lane will likely be available for festival fantasy parade and Magic Kingdom as of this past Friday, March 11. So I would pay extra for that. Well, you pay extra for the genie plus and you get the lightning leg opportunity.

Kelli 9:39
Right you know I still struggle whether you do Steve we did. You did a whole bonus. I still struggle with it. I still struggle with it people. They should have called it a different name. Yes. We’ve done you feel very strongly whitening line plus plus, like if you have to pay for it or something. I’m just saying like, very difficult do you

Chris 9:59
need plus Lightning lane is available for fair festival a fantasy.

Kelli 10:03
I think we should call that one fast pass. And then the ones that you pay for lightning lane. Well, just maybe on this podcast, send an email to listen to me.

Chris 10:14
The parade though this point does not include Dumbo or Splash Mountain segments, and generally has a reduced number of performers. Now it was just a few weeks ago, I think they were calling out for potential actors and performers

Kelli 10:26
still staffing up for that. Sure.

Chris 10:29
So at Epcot, the Epcot experience in the Odyssey pavilion, is his closing permanently, was today, the 13th. Tomorrow. So this was the sort of the URL

Kelli 10:44
that told you what all that was, what it

Chris 10:47
was going to be when they were done with all their multi year construction.

Kelli 10:50
Right? And so they’ve got to rip that out. Because they’re building stuff there.

Chris 10:54
Well, or they use that for a lot of other like, things, things that happen throughout the year. Right. Okay.

Kelli 11:02
So there’s if you haven’t seen it, man, you

Chris 11:05
better get there tonight. And this is not going to be tomorrow, so he should probably get there tomorrow. I mean, last night, I’d say it’s not quite all there. I know. So someone so someone out there they believed is in the know leaked some concept art that is supposedly shows what could be planned for the Spaceship Earth redesign. Now, they you know, the redesign, they paused, paused it because of the pandemic and then they paused it permanently, I think because like they needed people they needed traffic flow, right, go there. Yes. Until they get further down the road. Let’s open up cosmic rewind, and that sucks some people up and then we’ll write that’s what I think what do I know. But just as a reminder, the new spaceship Earth will feature great moments of human history. But instead of invention, inventions and technology, Disney will focus on something that binds all of humanity together storytelling. Many of the scenes you know and love will remain, but Disney plans to bring them to life and amazing new ways. New scenes will also be added to reflect the universal nature of the human experience. Okay, there’s a little spoilers new narration and there’s a little spark that you follow throughout all the scenes. That’s cute.

Kelli 12:23
I’m gonna miss Judy.

Chris 12:25
Now you do you love doing?

Kelli 12:27
I like Judy and I hope they don’t take away that black woman in the computer lab because she is my favorite with the Afro and the knee high boot.

Chris 12:37
I’d love a little bit of money for every picture of her.

Kelli 12:39
We’ve got I take a picture every single time. I love her so much. I love her so much.

Chris 12:44
I know you do I do too. So a little bit of resort news. The cake bake shop by Gwendolyn Rodgers is set to open in 2023 boardwalk resort in the space formerly held by the ESPN club. I was literally just asking you today whether that’s a big space right it is. Rogers grew up in Idaho. She opened her first cake bake shop on Broad Ripple house area of Indianapolis, Indiana. Her cakes have been featured a multiple times and Oprah Winfrey’s own magazine and Rogers cakes. Cookies and pies are available for purchase at William Sonoma. This will be her third.

Kelli 13:23
Wow, she’s doing well.

Chris 13:24
Very well. Very well. He

Kelli 13:26
really is okay, I was worried about her taking up that whole space but it sounds like maybe she’s got a Thing. Thing thing going she’s

Chris 13:34
got some good stuff going. So turning red last Friday on Disney plus we watched it last night no spoilers here but no spoiler we loved it so much. And there’s such a reaction online we’re considering doing a bonus episode just for turning red but we want to give people time to not miss out on any spoilers.

Kelli 13:52
I’ve said all of that on I mean most of that on Instagram, not about the bonus episode, but about how much we loved it. Yeah. Our 13 year old has never felt more safe or seen. Anybody who’s ever been a 13 year old girl will feel exactly the same way right?

Chris 14:09
Obi Wan Kenobi series trailer dropped and I’d have to spit this one out. Doctor teeth and the Electric Mayhem The Muppets band is getting their own series on Disney plus starring the Electric Mayhem. Well, that’s something you know who told me about that? Who the Electric Mayhem twitter feed is totally a thing. Oh

Kelli 14:33
my goodness. I

Chris 14:34
love it. Okay, ready Tomorrowland?

Kelli 14:36
Yes. Okay, so I’m going to take us back to the Halcyon, the galactic starcruiser Okay, and this time we’re going to do lunch and I would just say I’m not going to split this out into like four different Tomorrowland episodes, but it is gonna be at least three. Maybe four I don’t want to live. Okay, but this is lunch. This is in the main dining area. So you did breakfast buffet breakfast buffet before so this is lunch buffet. So again Then it’s go ahead and pick your own seats. The only time when they’re seated service is for dinner sure and serve family style in okay, but for lunch is still a buffet everything’s on his own little plates, which does make me a little bit happier because nobody’s touching my salad bar utensils go up and grab the plate. Right? And hopefully, I don’t know, maybe there’s still sneeze guards and the fact that you might still need a sneeze guard is troubling, but in any case, okay, we’re at lunch. Okay, so here we are at lunch. Just a reminder. utensils and cloth napkins. Very spicy vibe. Right but it’s nice. Okay, so here we are with food, Tetris for lunch. Okay, you have your option of a green leaf salad. Now remember, you’ve got lunch two days? Sure. So all of these are not available on both days. These are sort of combined. Okay, you got a green leaf salad which has red quinoa, Amethyst, croutons, a Parma cheese round and a creamy change really in green vegetable dressing

Chris 16:00
change really and stuff is good. Are

Kelli 16:03
you being serious? No. Like, that’s one of the big the amethyst croutons I want to see but that Parma cheese round is significant. Okay, so it’s a big cheese round. It’s not a tiny little cheese round. That’s a that’s a significant cheese round like the size of a doily and everybody says it’s good. Okay, this salad is way bigger than you might think. Well so the next salad The reason I said that is because it’s the change really in salad. And it has mushrooms. I know it’s meant to drink out. Mushrooms kale leaf olives, squash fruit and a white berry vinegar. I do want to know why the change really in salad doesn’t have the chin Julian dressing. I feel like there’s something going on there. Maybe

Chris 16:47
some kind of miss command G element. I know

Kelli 16:51
what the deal is there. Then there’s a chili spiced cucumber garden grow greens,

Chris 16:58
grow greens. It’s like grow goo but grow green. It really

Kelli 17:01
is. It looks like cucumber salad with with chili on it. Okay, okay, so you gotta like cucumber. Yeah, is what I would say. They’re a red fruit burrata. Now remember anything? This is red fruit is a tomato. Gotcha. Right. So red fruit burrata with balsamic pearls, and a red fruit jelly. It comes with a purple bread looks like a puffy dinner roll. Supposedly, the balsamic boba balls. That’s what they are. Just puts this right over the edge. And honestly, they have me at burrata.

Chris 17:40
I would. Oh, man,

Kelli 17:43
I know you’re, you’ve all of your words, the

Chris 17:45
idea of a balsamic vinegar

Kelli 17:49
in a burrata, I know you’ve lost all your words, this little bulb was off. We’re gonna keep going because the next one. They also have takeaway boxes that I didn’t mention last time. But so for lunch, they have a fire melted cheese takeaway box with a red fruit soup Dipper. Now, this is essentially a grilled cheese and tomato soup. Okay, but it is a bubble waffle grilled cheese. All right. How cool is that? Good. I know I love that so much.

Chris 18:23
Bubble waffle. Of course, Arista crepes over in Disney Springs. But yeah, repurpose. That’s

Kelli 18:27
great. Right. So I don’t know if it’s like a sweet bubble raffle or a savory one but instead but in any way that needed to make it on this. Then we’ve got a sweet tuba with spicy bought to curry. This is essentially a sweet potato soup with a granola bar. Now word on the street is that it’s a bit interesting. Okay, so take that for what it’s worth. Next is going to be your sargans stew.

Chris 18:58
Oh Sorgen Yes, you

Kelli 19:00
know Sorgen here are just a swear love this. This has crawl fish tails. Rice and a yellow seed stick not crawfish. I

Chris 19:13
guess you’re all fish fish tails

Kelli 19:16
rice and a yellow stick. I really had to work on that when y’all the next takeaway is the pork and cheese takeaway on a black Spice Bread. This is yours honey. Okay, this is a spy a ham and cheese sandwich. That is essentially in powder. K Whoa. Oh, right. I speisialta K home. That salmon cheese sandwich essentially served in cheese bread. I know you need you really do need that and it looks super fancy. What can we make that here? Yeah, I’ve stopped cooking. Next we have roasted Flora with tubers and red cabbage. This is essentially just some roasted veg. Okay, which I don’t want to downplay that. I love some roasted veg. Cabbage. Yep, Next is Kadu rib bites. And that is what it looks like it’s a rib bite with a sweet and sticky glaze and a spicy slaw.

Chris 20:10
Yes because the cod is delicious. I’m not falling for

Kelli 20:13
it again. Next is nori crusted red fish with mushrooms and red cabbage and cilantro rice so you’re not gonna get it, but it is a flaky white fish that looks a lot like salmon. Sure. Looks very salmon esque. Okay, next tamarind glazed burr fish. Were they long fruit leaf braised kale, chickpeas and curry. I’m

Chris 20:44
like that they have really embraced the fish at this place.

Kelli 20:47
There’s there’s one fish dish on each day. Okay, just like one takeaway sandwich only I told you the fish to lunches. Yeah, I just told you when the nori crusted red fish paying attention. There was one before that. Next is the Tikka tip. Yep, chicken with paneer cheese. This is a flatbread that is essentially Indian. It’s an Indian flatbread with very strong masala flavor. Okay, we’ll say it’s really great. That sounds good. So I love they have some some definite Indian dishes each day. They have a fish dish each day they have plenty of pant plant base. I mean, I really like what they’ve done here with this they’ve really stepped out here. Next is going to be your marinated seared tofu with saffron rice, peas, sumac aoli and a flaky flatbread.

Chris 21:39
They’re really going for the alliteration

Kelli 21:42
blue focaccia and sausage that’s a takeaway with red fruit jam and ahi aoli. It’s essentially a space hot dog is what it’s called. But it’s a blue focaccia with sausage, nuggets and cheese pasta. I mean, that’s for kids or what have you. Bantha vinegar, gar red herb sauce. I might have screwed that up. I don’t know. They’re just making Simon yard vant the Vanguard herb sauce. This is a cote cheese flatbread topped with beef. Bantha means beef and space, you should learn that red peppers cheese and that vine gar red herb sauce.

Chris 22:22
I know exactly what a Bantha is.

Kelli 22:25
Okay, well, I’m also going to say just, I know I’m gonna run out of time. All this information came from Disney food blog. So I want to make sure we give them credit for that they did a fantastic job writing all this up and taking pictures of all this weird stuff. Okay, next, this is my favorite thing and you’re gonna like this. Okay, okay, it’s rare. Okay. It’s a sunflower butter and jelly pod. Okay, hang on. I’m gonna tell you it’s essentially a puffy green untrustable why? It’s a puffy green homemade untrustable.

Chris 22:59
So I just was introduced to uncrustables my own self

Kelli 23:03
but we can’t go down that go down that rabbit hole. I’m very excited because I’ve got more. Okay, very excited. Hoko whip hibiscus Marang. This is made without wheat, dairy, animal meat, eggs, and honey. Very rich chocolate that’s thicker than a chocolate mousse usually is and they say it mostly tasted like rich chocolate with a hint of fruitiness and floral flavors from the hibiscus. Interesting. It’s a Marang that is really interesting. Now we’re back to Blue Bantha milk fruit whip. This is basically blue milk in a mousse form. So it’s like a fruity mousse with mostly citrus flavors, which

Chris 23:50
is the blue milk. Sure. Okay. Okay.

Kelli 23:52
They also have a daily sweet bread at lunch, which is essentially a cookie. So the amethyst sweet bread was Ooby flavored like that doughnut over it ever glaze. I’m probably saying that wrong. But y’all can spell it. Cream of Dzogchen is a mousse with vague fruity flavors. Like a lot of the other mooses Disney loves to make. This YouTube blog is not for the moose. I see. They’re not and they say it’s not bad. It’s just lackluster. But it does does come with chocolate rocks. And the last one was the salted caramel chocolate cake. Okay,

Chris 24:30
what’s wrong with that?

Kelli 24:31
Nothing. Nothing was wrong with that’s gotta be huge has a huge hit the sunflower butter and jelly pods I’m dying for. I’m really hoping that somebody like makes those at home. Sure, and puts out a recipe that you can make. Okay.

Chris 24:46
All right, that sounds great. So, we do think Disney food blog and we’re going to be leaning on them heavily for our bonus episode. Yes. And they’re wonderful. Got Great YouTube channel two that we watch all the time. If so, through weird circumstance, and we’re still sort of crossing our fingers and hopeful I’m actually going to be taking a trip to Disney in Orlando in a little less than two weeks. So solo, solo, just me people can you imagine? It’s

Kelli 25:25
gonna be he’s gonna be one of those weird people that actually runs on vacation. It’s

Chris 25:28
gonna be weird. And I am really, I’m gonna run a 5k at Disney a week before the all of the better people are there running?

Kelli 25:40
Yeah, they’re not better. You’re doing great with that.

Chris 25:42
So. So I’m hopeful that everything’s gonna come through, and it’ll happen. So what I decided to do was take my World Showcase this week, and have got titled here preview five things that I plan to do on my next trip that I’ve done before, but I haven’t done enough in my life. Awesome. And I did at least seven and there’s two. There’s two more after that, that are just sort of if I get to that part,

Kelli 26:08
so technically nine. Yeah, well, then why don’t you like,

Chris 26:11
I don’t know because I wrote the title first. And then next week on my Tomorrowland segment, I will do will say it’s going to be titled five things. But things that I have never done that I am going to do on this trip. Okay. Right. So today’s are things that I’ve done before, but I need more of it in my life. I haven’t done it nearly enough on trips. Number one thing is Jelly Rolls.

Kelli 26:37
Yes,

Chris 26:38
we say it every time. I know but we’re so exhausted so exhausted, but I’m not gonna have you slowing me down this so I’ve literally like not to not to tease the bonus episode too much. But there’s that they’ve got that maple shake with whiskey in Canada. I foresee myself like watching harmonious walking over getting that maple shake and then walking right out over to jelly. Get a jelly roll.

Kelli 27:12
It sounds like a lovely night, honey. I think that’s what I wish I could be there with. So

Chris 27:16
Jelly Rolls. Of course, if there’s anybody that doesn’t know that is the dueling Piano Bar at the boardwalk resort, which is why I say I can walk there right from Epcot. After closing is the perfect time I think to walk right into Jelly Rolls and grab a drink and listen to those super talented pianists. Yes, just play amazing music. I

Kelli 27:38
hope you send me videos. I hope we FaceTime from that and I can just live vicariously through your FaceTime.

Chris 27:42
I’m hopeful to maybe do some YouTube YouTubing some Instagramming stories and stuff from there. That’d be great. Yes. Okay, the next thing that I have done before but I haven’t done enough is the Spa at Disney now you have senses, senses spa is is their brand, which they have it both Saratoga Springs, and the Grand Floridian. I’ve done the Grand Floridian spa. I have not done the Saratoga Springs. So I intend to do the Saratoga Springs version this time you’ve done the Saratoga Springs.

Kelli 28:17
I have and this is gonna sound really odd, but I will say I think Saratoga Springs is better than the Grand floods. You’re

Chris 28:23
not the only one. So when I looked up best spas in Orlando, there’s one that’s off Disney property. And then the census Spa at Saratoga Springs was ranked second in the whole city. And the Grand Floridian version was like eight.

Kelli 28:36
Yeah, no, I think it’s better at Saratoga Springs. I mean, you have to go all the way out there Saratoga Springs to get to get there. But the spot itself I think is a better experience.

Chris 28:46
So I might be most I mean, obviously getting a massage and everything’s is great. But I think what I’m most excited about are like the the wet relaxation rooms where they got whirlpools and just sort of like calming pools. Yes. The relaxation lounges with the warmth with the heated lounge chairs. Yes. And isn’t

Kelli 29:09
that what you want in Florida?

Chris 29:12
Might be after I get out of the relaxation pool and the steam room? Yeah, no, no steam rooms in my life. Yep. No,

Kelli 29:23
I agree. Um, so

Chris 29:24
the sense of Spa so I plan to make quite a day of I’m actually going hopefully going for about five days and the day right in the middle. I’m planning to not do any park so I’m going to

Kelli 29:37
Yep, just I think it’s the way to go home. I think that’s a brilliant up. That’s

Chris 29:40
the day I’m gonna do my 5k that morning. I’m gonna go to breakfast, go to the spa, and then hang out at Disney Springs for the day. Okay, all of that stuff. I haven’t done enough. I know life. Yes. Okay, the next thing it’s back with a vengeance twice a day the festival of fantasy parade. Heaven I’ve lived So I grew up, not go not not caring at all about the parades at Disney, the parades except for the electric light parade, I was meant to say the nighttime parade. Electrical Parade, those were big the I could not miss those even whenever they would do them twice in one night, but the daytime parades and the shows on the castle stage, those things I never really cared about. I mean, we would see them sometimes, you know, in passing, but I just didn’t care about them. Until this one. We sat you know there in the the plaza square right inside the entrance and watched it on one of our trips before paying it was great. And it was just Yeah, wonderful. Yeah, I loved it so much. And I love that the PhotoPass folks will come around with their little signs up there so I’ll be all by myself grown as middle aged man. Chillin my butt off. Yes. At the festival fantasy. Yeah,

Kelli 31:05
how many grown as middle aged men we follow on Instagram that do an amazing job at this. You’re

Chris 31:10
not wrong. I’m not wrong. Not wrong about that wrong. So the next thing is harmonious. It’s it’s a layup. It’s low hanging fruit. We just came out this past year. We we’ve seen it one time. It’s a dog on spectacle. I cannot. I mean, like it blew my mind. Yes. I’m gonna watch that thing twice. At least on this trip. Good for you. So I’m gonna I’m gonna I’m gonna go to either France or or Norway. Get myself a snack. Go find my spot and perch right in front for an hour and a half. Whatever it takes good for you. That’s right. Good for me. Okay. You guys are gonna know exactly where this one came from. I’m gonna have anything that they serve at Casey’s Corner with cheese sauce.

Kelli 32:04
That’s right. You are. You don’t eat enough cheese sauce. In your life. You don’t eat enough cheese sauce. I mean, lucky for you. I eat enough for the both of us. But specifically at Casey’s Corner, you have never fully embraced that. I

Chris 32:20
just you know, and I don’t dislike the cheese sauce or anything. I just don’t you know, I know. I just don’t I don’t think about it. Whenever I go and get the little I get I’ve gotten the mini nugs their little corndog nuggets. I got the fries and all that

Kelli 32:33
stuff be great dipped in. I mean, what else do you dip your fries in?

Chris 32:38
Catch up?

Kelli 32:41
You miss so sad.

Chris 32:43
So sad for you. So but I put it on here. I have had it. But clearly I haven’t had enough you haven’t? And so I’m gonna have so if you’ve got any idea what what should I get? I mean, Kelly’s bias fries,

Kelli 32:57
corn dog nuggets. I mean, I don’t ever dipped meat in it, but I’m sure it’s lovely. What is your

Chris 33:03
favorite thing? podcast listener? What’s your favorite thing to dip in the Casey’s Corner cheese sauce?

Kelli 33:10
Hey, it’s only $1 best deal it’s

Chris 33:16
only $1 deal at the park. Okay, also at the Magic Kingdom something I’ve done before but not enough. Eat something from Sleepy Hollow.

Kelli 33:24
You we don’t do that enough. Don’t we look at there we

Chris 33:27
go. We look at every time and we all look ahead. Because apparently Sleepy Hollow is a really popular place for Disney to try out new things. Yes. Now they don’t have anything that super new on the menu right now. But like they got like handed corndogs and some other stuff. But they’ve got their sweet and spicy chicken waffle sandwich with broccoli slaw, honey Sriracha glaze and housemade chips. That sounds great. That sounds great. As I look at it I consider every time I’m gonna get it get it I get that this time get it honey. And they also have the stretch portrait push. Yes. Stretch portrait like you see at the beginning of the Haunted haunted mansion. Yes. So I think I might try that. They’ve also got the Doom berry drink. This is Blackberry, Ginger Beer started with iridescent sugar and a haunted mansion thing straw. Okay, so give that a go. I’m going to do much better at the food booths at the Flower and Garden Festival this year. I’m gonna really try to hit those hard, okay, even though it’ll just be myself. I’m gonna try to do the best I can. And the seventh one I’ve got on the list is Disney and champion. Just the same category is harmonious. I loved it. I loved the projections coming down Main Street. I intend to specifically stand more in the hub this time we we intentionally stood down Main Street so we can see all that objections. Yeah, I want to watch that from the hub. I mean, that may be the only full We’ll turn around backwards and in the hub just to see that but I want to see what that looks looks great. So yeah, I need to experience Disney enchantment again, a different location for
