Episode Transcript:

welcome aboard Disney fam. Welcome aboard indeed Disney fam. My name is Chris and I’m Kelly. We I don’t know if you know this, but we run the Supercalifragilistic awesome Disney podcast.

Kelli 0:42
We till we run it.

Chris 0:43
Does it run us a little bit about both. Kelly’s decided to wear the gingerbread Mickey and Mickey years. I think they’re Gingerbread, right?

Kelli 0:53
Yeah, they’re gingerbread. What I love playing with Mickey and Minnie. You said Mickey and Mickey ears. Oh, yeah, Mickey and Minnie. I think what I love most this, these are my only Christmas years. I know. I think what I love the most is this little tiny Santa hat. He’s wearing just his love ears with tiny hat. I

Chris 1:12
know you do. I know you did. And this is ears with ears with a tiny hat. Yes. It’s ears each year is self wearing ears.

Kelli 1:22
And one has a tiny. No. Yeah. No, it’s

Chris 1:25
great. I also appreciate the minis bow being like on one ear instead of right in the middle.

Kelli 1:30
Yeah, no, it’s off to the side. For sure. Yeah, yeah. I’m going for Christmas. So that’s why. Yeah, it’s

Chris 1:37
a Christmas episode today. Sounds like Yeah. So who listened to us when we had downloads this week from Apple Valley, Minnesota. A suburb? That sounds like a really nice place. Apple Valley. Sounds like something out of a Hallmark movie. It really does. Yeah. Just a suburb just south of the Twin Cities in Minnesota. Okay. Dallas.

Kelli 1:59
Dallas, Texas. Nope. Dallas, Georgia. Okay.

Chris 2:04
14,000 Fine, folks. 40 miles northwest of downtown Atlanta. Yeah, that was a small belt in South Carolina.

Kelli 2:12
Belton.

Chris 2:14
Yes.

Kelli 2:15
Oh my goodness. 4000

Chris 2:16
fine sand Lappers just east of the mecca of Anderson. Yeah, your hometown. Yeah,

Kelli 2:23
but you know how it’s weird that because my dad was the pastor at a church and belt in most of my life. And what’s so weird is that I can remember certain radio ads that played on the radio, as we would go through and so every time I hear the word Belton, I think of this is Rex Maynard’s belt and

Chris 2:45
it’s mine. It’s Max Maynard’s Belton. Okay, as opposed to Rex Maynard’s easily.

Kelli 2:51
I don’t know Rex Maynard’s green Rex head shops. But he would always say this is Rex miner and the Belton. Okay, so, Belkin Belton Papes. Yep,

Chris 3:01
absolutely. And Budapest, Hungary. one of Europe’s absolutely most beautiful cities, okay. bisected by the Danube River. Nice. I think Budapest is beautiful. But I think about in a line in the marvels maybe this reminds me of Budapest. And I was like, you and I remember Budapest very differently.

Kelli 3:21
Possibly. Yes. It was in the past possibly. Yeah.

Chris 3:25
Yeah. Sure. You want to jump over to Main Street? Let’s hear it. All right. So Disney for the first time after nearly four year pause has announced cash dividends for shareholders 30 cents a share. The last time they paid out it was like 88 cents a share. But they’re back to paying out dividends, which is good. We have

Kelli 3:47
we have a share and a half within

Chris 3:50
45 cents are on the way. Right?

Kelli 3:54
Do we get like a check before they just added Am

Chris 3:58
I just add it right back in to our 45 cents. spend it all in one place?

Kelli 4:06
That’s something special right. Okay, special.

Chris 4:13
Whatever. We’re technically investors pretty excited about it. Let’s see. So, state Democratic senator in Florida issues. Bill has written a bill that would effectively repeal the DeSantis takeover of the Reedy Creek improvement district and reinstall the Reedy Creek Improvement District. Okay. At the committee hearing in Orlando or Orange County, the Republicans just in the room just walked out and didn’t vote. They didn’t say this is why they walked out but because because they did they couldn’t form a quorum so the vote was invalid. But she says she’s going to continue to bring it up. Oh, wow. Okay. At the was the deal book summit, the New York Times deal book summit this week. There were lots of leaders Elon Musk made a snit that people probably heard about Bob Iger was also there. And he said he will definitely be stepping down at the end of his contract in 2026. There’s gonna be no more extensions or whatever. Just hope he does a better job of picking a successor, the successor Yeah, yep. He had, he had lots of things to say about the transition last time and he’s done a post mortem and try to not make the same mistakes twice. Okay, we’ll see. All right. For about 10 days, Disney stopped all Disney companies stopped posting on Twitter for about 10 days or longer at same times there they they stopped advertising on Twitter. My understanding is they still have not started advertising, but their Twitter feeds Walt Disney Company Pixar Marvel all the ones that are Disney affiliated, have gone back to to at least posting tweets.

Kelli 5:46
Okay, so they’re tweeting, but still not advertise. That’s my understanding. All right.

Chris 5:52
So Magic Kingdom is sold out for Christmas Day. Can you imagine that? The Magic Kingdom on Christmas Day,

Kelli 5:58
you could not pay me enough.

Chris 5:59
I mean, that is that is a day. But I mean, think about like growing up. You’re in what you typically do on Christmas Day. Imagine like we’re gonna wake up on Christmas Day and open gifts and go to the Magic Kingdom.

Kelli 6:12
I mean, it does. It sounds magical.

Chris 6:14
It does sound magical guys until you’re you get there and I just envisioned like the last night of the happily ever after. Yeah, a firework show, except everywhere. All over the park. Yes.

Kelli 6:26
No, you could not pay me enough. You couldn’t pay me enough. Maybe Maybe I do it for a couple million.

Chris 6:32
So I had to pay you a couple million bucks to get you got to do a million on Christmas Day. I wouldn’t have to pay me that much. So I really have

Kelli 6:40
to pay me enough to pay off a lot of things.

Chris 6:44
Just to go just to go. I think if they just made it easy for me. Even if it was a busy park if they made it so that didn’t have to wait and all the busy lines I’d go.

Kelli 6:53
No, because we still have to wade through all the crowds. People are elbow and they’re wearing matching shirts. It’s really people get very feisty, and they’re matching shirts. They do. And then you stay together. Yeah, wearing the matching shirts stay together. Yeah. And so you’ll have like a chain of hand holding. I mean, it’s a it’s a situation in the restrooms as well. Yeah, I

Chris 7:21
know what the restrooms are gonna be like in this situation. Yeah. I

Kelli 7:24
mean, that’s what I’m thinking. Oh, yes. Do I have to stay all day? How long can I hold it? Like I’m, I’m already making those calculations. Now.

Chris 7:32
We just need to find the right restaurants to use. Yeah. I don’t think that’s eaten

Kelli 7:39
a bunch of holiday food candy. The kids are jacked up on sugar people are pulling. It is.

Chris 7:46
No. Okay. All right. Well, very, there’s a very specific reason to that. Go ahead. Say you’re not shocked. No, I’m not surprised. Even little bit people listening might be a little bit surprised, but not their

Kelli 8:00
longtime listeners. longtime listener first time.

Chris 8:03
Yeah, Hatbox Ghost has materialized at the Haunted Mansion. And

Kelli 8:08
so I think it’s a valid question, though, that Disney assembled post on Instagram last week. Does that make 1000 happy haunts. They kick out

Chris 8:18
they kick out a haunt? Did they kick out a haunt? It’s

Kelli 8:20
a very valid question.

Chris 8:23
And I was like, they’re always, always kind of the good thought provoking questions. Yeah.

Kelli 8:27
So is it? Did they kick out a halt? To keep it at 999? Happy haunts? Yeah, I guess they probably had. Well, you have to you have to change the whole narrative. Yeah. Well, I think and I don’t think they went through the trouble of changing the narrative. Agreed, which means or some halt had to leave. No, he

Chris 8:46
was always there. You see, they didn’t add him. He just finally materialized. Yeah, I’ve got it. I got it that you know that I’m right there. That’s why they that’s why they said it that way. He’s always been there. He just finally materialized. Okay, you’re welcome. solve that for everybody. The Bayou transformation continues in the frontier land. I really only put this in here. Just to note that I am I think there’ll be much further along. We’ll be close to opening that ride. Maybe when we get there in March. Very excited to see what that whole area looks like. Transformed into a bayou type area.

Kelli 9:29
Yeah. Same. I’m excited about that, too. Yep.

Chris 9:34
So supposedly tomorrow is December the fifth. That’s tomorrow, right?

Kelli 9:39
Now Tomorrow’s the fourth. Tomorrow’s the fourth.

Chris 9:43
Come on. That far behind? Yes.

Kelli 9:44
Tomorrow’s the fourth my last day of classes the sixth which would be Wednesday. All right.

Chris 9:49
Got reasons. December the fifth is supposedly the day they’re not officially said it but supposedly the day that world celebration finally opens up fully and drink First point at Epcot. So the walls come down, and et cetera, et cetera. The fifth, I don’t

Kelli 10:07
think I realized that that was going to be done when we got there. Oh, yeah. Okay. I don’t think I realized, yeah,

Chris 10:12
that world celebration area is supposed to supposed to open up in December. That’s what they said. Okay. But most folks think it might be December the fifth because that’s the day that luminess launches. December 5 is also Walt’s birthday. So wow, what a big day. It’s a big day. It’s a big day. So and you know, they’ve installed this little garden area in world celebration called dreamers point where they’ve installed a brand new statue of Walt. Walt, the dreamer, I think is what the statue is calling. It’s him sitting. He’s sitting down, like on a bench area or something. So you can go up and have pictures with him. Right. Which is really cool, nice looking statue. But I think most folks are betting that Tuesday is the day that it officially opens. That would be cute. It would be nice. Yeah, it really opened that up, start luminous that day, but they

Kelli 11:03
announced it. So if it doesn’t fit, there’ll be a soft launch, like an out of town preview,

Chris 11:07
I guess except once you move those. It’s a whole area, right? It’s not like an attraction

Kelli 11:12
is what I’m saying. Yeah, they haven’t said it’s going to be on the fifth. This is all speculation. So this

Chris 11:17
is just they seem to be preparing for it. For example, last night, I think or sometime just last couple days, they synched up the lights that are there are throughout world celebration, with Spaceship Earth, the lights on spaceship Earth. So for example, last night, or whatever night, the videos came from that I that I watched, they had this candy cane sort of ribbons going across Spaceship Earth, and all of the lighting, even an around world, world celebration, even the ones behind the walls were synced up to world to Spaceship Earth. So all the light poles, all the LED lights scattered throughout.

Kelli 11:56
So they were testing all that and rocking it and all that. Yeah. Right. So

Chris 12:00
Zack Ridley, about a year ago was talking about how many LED lights they had. They were putting throughout world celebration. It’s like 20 times the beacons of light that are on Wow, on spaceship Earth. Right. So all of its all of it is synced. I’m really excited. That’s

Kelli 12:23
cool. Like they really are trying to draw people back on it to that side of the park during nighttime. Yeah, right. But Juana is supposed to be the best at night and all that because people leave that side of the park at night and just hanging out in worlds and you need to spread the people out

Chris 12:37
a little I mean, they’re all gonna go over there for the spectacular anyway. But yeah, yeah. Any case there’s not a lot of attractions and stuff, right but, but it looks like it’d be a really beautiful area. Even the lights and satellite connections cafe that are in the ceiling. They sync up to the Spaceship Earth view like last night or whatever it was the same red white ribbons of light we’re going across the ceiling in connections. Fa so let’s really really cool the they’re all us oh my gosh,

Kelli 13:10
you got a minute.

Chris 13:12
Oh laughs tradition expedition. So scavenger hunt is is live at Epcot. Right that’s cool. The voices of liberty are now they switched over to holiday songs and they’re in their Dickens costuming which is my favorite time to see them. Yes, yes. Yeah, for sure. Okay, let’s see ginger and Deborah have returned to Disney’s Animal Kingdom lodge that’s a giraffe and zebra I didn’t know did you ever worry there but they are these little animals that they have on display it not live animals so okay, they’re like it says draft on a zebra that hang out in that beautiful lobby here. Okay and last thing here is the Disney Land candlelight processional was last night and Brie Larson. Captain Marvel was the narrator Wow.

Kelli 14:03
I

Chris 14:04
know. That would be really cool. Oh, wow. That’s something that is something that is very cool. Cool to see. All right. You ready for Tomorrowland?

Kelli 14:14
Let’s hear some food stuff.

Chris 14:15
You got it. And we will talk about the treats that are exclusive to the Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party. I saw the pictures. Oh, gee, man. Got a lot to get through here. I may not get through all of them. But it’s worth noting that there are like 26 items that you can get at Very Merry Christmas Party. 20 to 22 of them are exclusive to I think 20 of them are purely exclusive to the Christmas party. But this

Kelli 14:46
is not that they’re not part of the ticket. These are extra prices. That’s

Chris 14:51

All right, so we’re gonna start off at Auntie gravity’s galactic goodies to have a reindeer Chow Sunday. This is a chocolate soft serve with pretzels, m&ms and hot fudge that’s new this year.

Incredible. I love that. It’s like so many new things, right? They they are just they’re not like they put so much pressure on those chefs to come up with new ideas.

Kelli 24:41
But if you’re a Disney chef, you’ve got to love it,

Chris 24:43
I guess. Freedom. Free. Explore. Yes, we got to come up with 20 new things to eat for the Christmas party this year.

Kelli 24:51
Because why would people come back otherwise the same stuff we had last year, I guess you mean a whole new menu?

Chris 24:57
Well, that’s what they’re certainly trying to do and they’re doing a good job. About my great job of it. All right, ready? I’m ready.

Kelli 25:03
So I’m going to talk about Disney gift ideas on a budget. Oh, wow. Like that. Yeah. Because I mean, Disney is often talked about as being super expensive and things on shopdisney.com are expensive, very expensive. So I thought I’m gonna give you some cool Disney gift ideas that are very affordable and unique coming from places you might not think. And here’s what I’ll say. We’ve seen some of the Disney 100 stuff and places like Big Lots, Target, Walmart, IV, high V Walgreens, like don’t sleep on these things, because Disney 100 merch isn’t a lot of different places, which is great. All of this isn’t Disney 100 merch but some of it is. And so I just want to give sort of a glossy overview. I’ve got a lot of ideas. Okay, so we’re gonna do our best here. We’re going to start with the dog. If you aren’t aware chewy.com has Disney, Pixar Star Wars Marvel tons of stuff for dogs. So we’re talking toys, tennis balls, treats, clothes, bowls, treat jars, leashes, collars and beds, ranging from $3 to $100. Oh, wow, all of these links are going to be on our website, by the way. So for this podcast episode, so highly recommend checking out to a very, very affordable dog stuff. One of my personal faves is Pumbaa. And he is stuffed with bugs. Oh 6099. So the dog gets to like pull the bugs out. I

Chris 26:28
love that.

Kelli 26:29
I love those kinds of toys. And then they also have a really cute table scraps Pluto treat. So it’s a bag of Pluto treats called table scraps. And that comes with a red Mickey treat jar for 1994. So it’s a red jar with a white Mickey hand on it and the ears are his or the cute Yeah, it’s really adorable. 1994 super affordable for kids. Now of course toys and things like that, you know, you can get at Walmart and Target and shop Disney so I’m looking for outside the box. Maybe something that your kid wants to give a friend or take like a white elephant elephant Christmas gift or something like that. Right? Not not like the big gift you would get for your kid but smaller type things. First of all, don’t sleep on Five Below. Five Below has tons of things for $5 or below. So they have plushies for $5 they have a story book advent calendar, that’s $5 so you open up a different little mini storybook every day really cute. They have so many of those little blind bags, like a blind funko pop a blind Oh, oh, okay, blind, this blind blind this but so so many little bags like that would be great. I don’t have this on my stocking stuffer list. But that would be great for your your kids to give like to other friends at school, or like white elephants or things like $3.25 for these little mini blind Funko Pop bags. Then of course they’ve got other stuff that you can imagine miniature Yes, yes, miniature journals, toys, tons of stuff like that for for $5. So again, five or below great for stocking stuffers, great for friends gifts, those types of things. Don’t sleep on that. Obviously, target also has toys, clothes, ornaments, etc. But this is also where you’re going to find a lot of new wish merch, a lot, a lot of which is including the new vinyl album from the movie for 2799. And it looks really really cute. I’m really into specialty vinyl. So in any case, that’s cool. So if you’re looking for things specific to wish, I definitely recommend target. Walgreens. Now here’s one that you probably didn’t expect. Squish. Mallos now I don’t know if you know what squished malar I do

Chris 29:01
not know what that is. Okay, it’s

Kelli 29:02
a it’s a squishy, plush with no arms or legs. And so it looks like a big marshmallow. They come in all different sizes.

Chris 29:12
We’ve got like a black one on our couch. This is not a character. It’s just plain black.

Kelli 29:17
No, no, not like that. These stand up. Oh, okay. Yeah. But again, not like no arms, no legs, things like that. It’s just think about a marshmallow decorated like a character. Okay, gotcha. Yeah. Anyway, Walgreens has Disney 100 plush squish mellows a box set of five for 2399 So a lot of these are like glittery and that’s why they’re the Disney 100 see? Yeah, but fun fact. This is $16 cheaper than what is currently on shopdisney dot O to Walgreens 2399 You can order these things online people five for 23 955 Little squish mellow and a set for 2399 You Is $16 cheaper than what you’re gonna get a shop? So again, don’t sleep on stuff like that. So if there’s something you see for example on shopdisney And you think that might be good Google that yeah, you can find it a lot of different places and some of them might be on sale. So again, okay, these gifts are for anyone, but these are true gifts for anyone. Ornaments. Definitely recommend Hallmark $20 and up. They also have the Haunted Mansion tree topper, which is like $175 I have no idea how strong that tree needs to be to hold an entire mansion, but they’ve got it. One of my personal favorites. Santa’s Mickey and Minnie mugs. They are so cute. I really think we need a sex. Like it’s a typical Mickey like coffee mug, but he’s got on a Santa hat. Okay, okay, the mugs are 1695 each. That’s it William Sonoma 16 bucks at Williamson, William Sonoma highly recommend, I think we might actually need to set up those. Now a lot of people are going to say, you know, might want to make Mickey Mouse waffles for Christmas or something along that. Now the Mickey Mouse waffle maker William Sonoma is the most expensive you’re going to find. Okay, I recommend getting the one from Home Depot, which is at 499. It makes six mini waffles at a time. So three on top three on the bottom and you can flip the whole thing around. A lot of cheaper waffle makers that you’re gonna see out there. Just make one big Mickey. You don’t want those you want the ones that you can get the resort which are the minis. Okay? So recommend Home Depot. The one we have, I believe at 499. It’s the sixth you can also get the bubble Mickey waffle maker at Sam’s for 2998. Also cheaper, significantly cheaper than what you’re going to find on shopdisney. So this ends up making what looks like sort of a crepe with bubble Mickey heads.

Chris 32:00
Oh,

Kelli 32:01
yes. That looks amazing. And Sam’s definitely had the best price there. If you want to send a gift to someone, Cheryl’s cookies now I’ve never had Cheryl’s cookies. But she makes a Disney Mickey and Friends cookie jar with cookies for 3999 that you could choose to ship. You can ship really cute. Good idea. And also target back to target. An Aladdin genie lamp teapot for $40. Okay, that’s cute, right? That’s cute. Like, you don’t even want to rub it. Rub it. It’s a shiny gold teapot. Highly recommend it hot. Also on Amazon, I recommend just Googling Disney 100 or Disney 100 games you’re gonna find playing cards. You know, Disney trivia of Rubik’s Cube puzzles. A light bright and a dominant set, right? Yes. All in Disney 100.

Chris 32:54
Skin Mark gaming. Yeah, yes.

Kelli 32:57
So those are gifts for anyone. Right? And those games are going to range from $14 and up. Okay, but highly recommend for the gamers in your life. stocking stuffers. Mickey 100 celebration, hot chocolate balm at William Sonoma sold for 795 So it’s a Mickey head with hot chocolate and marshmallows and

Chris 33:18
even more than one thing that you have suggested at Williamson for less than you

Kelli 33:23
just gave me grief for for buying stuff online. So I didn’t buy any of but I really wanted it. Also William Sonoma. Aprons potholders water bottles, cookie cutters, picnic baskets, kitchen utensils, and if you’re interested in spending $2,300 on someone for Christmas, you can buy a hammered copper nine Piece Cookware Set

Chris 33:43
it would take if anybody’s interested in buying us a $2,300 gift we take that

Kelli 33:50
Yes. Back to five and below another Disney 100 blind character draw Disney 100 limited edition mini bobblehead both for five and below. Or this is so cool Disney 100 nail polish at Ulta for $5 They’ve got like 15 Different colors

Chris 34:11

Kelli 34:16
cute. Okay, these I believe to be specifically for her. Okay, okay. corkcicle.com tumblers cold cups water bottles, wine glasses, coffee mugs galore. Currently BOGO what currently bogo corkcicle.com really really cute stuff. My personal fave is the Lilo tumbler. It’s solid red with the white flowers like her dress, and it’s 3795 but remember BOGO. There’s also I found a Mickey Mouse. Pearl sweater. Really classy, really classy sweater, unique to her universe. 4792 looks really really sharp. You know there’s crackers you get that you pull up a crack Brits love them. Yes. So at target you can get with a six pack of women’s socks inside crackers and their Disney sawdust that’s really cute. Forever 21 also has socks, purses, bags, jammies of bathmat, onesies, sweaters, jackets and more. My personal fave is the throw blanket with a hood that has many ears for 34 nines right in your wheelhouse. And last but not least, a Kish satin crown and Palace pillowcase for $18 you can get a full set with the eye mask and all of that too if that’s your jam, but I think the pillowcase looks really sharp it’s satin like a rose gold with little gold crowns and palaces on many classy classy understated it’s

Chris 35:55

Kelli 35:58
right you’re very very subtle, subtle that’s not how her house is done and dreamlike Valley she’s not subtle. No. But you know I would say you know for Disney 100 Mini. She might go more subtle.
