Chris 1:17
original topic was about poo stuff. And then you’re going down that road, and then you diverged from that road and led you somewhere else. Because Because of and so we’re still honoring.
Kelli 1:27
We’re still wearing yours. Yeah. Yeah. Well, that’s great. I don’t have any beauty in the beast ears, which will really be more like what I’m talking about.
Chris 1:35
That’s an interest. I wouldn’t have thought. I would rather talk about where we had downloads from
Kelli 1:41
Oh my goodness. What a lovely segue. Honey, where did they download from? Novi,

Michigan, LV Novi and Ovi Michigan. I hope I’m saying that right. This is a suburb about 25 miles northwest of Detroit, known for the 12 oaks mall isn’t one of the largest malls in Michigan and an 80 stores. Diverse stores high end
Kelli 2:06
Is that why you had a dream about a mall last night?
Chris 2:07
Maybe? Maybe? I was in a mall last night in my dream. I had a whole bunch of stores. Okay, Butler, Pennsylvania. Okay, cute little town. 35 miles north of Pittsburgh, once a major manufacturer of railroad cars. Okay, interesting. world needed needs those. We still need those frankly. Yeah. Greenwich, Connecticut, named after the Greenwich at named after Greenwich, a Royal Borough of London in the UK. And very affluent town Greenwich, Connecticut, home to many hedge fund and financial services firms. Wow. Okay. They couldn’t get to New York City. Pretty quick on the train there. Okay,
Kelli 2:49
that’s interesting. All right.
Chris 2:51
This is an interesting one. Hermosillo, Sonora, Mexico. Oh, Sonora, Mexico is in the in the sort of extreme northwest portion of the country. Not terribly far from the US border. There’s a long story around this we’re not going to get into but following the 1913 assassination of the Mexican president. This town played a big role and is now known as the revolutionary capital of
Kelli 3:20
Mexico. Wow. Okay, well, welcome.
Chris 3:23
Thank you for bringing some energy.
Kelli 3:24
I mean, I will I will absolutely do a live show there. I would love to visit the revolutionary capital of Mexico. Just let us know.
Chris 3:33
I bet you would. All right, you want to roll
Kelli 3:38
down Main Street? Yes. The news.
Chris 3:41
Hey, happy Pride Month Happy Pride Month to also celebrate and we certainly did. We We love all and love is love loves Disney is also celebrating Pride Month by bringing back in one of numerous ways they’re bringing they’re celebrating but one way is they’re bringing back those photo walls who remember the love and rainbow photo walls that they that they had I think last year for those are back in all the parks. So there’s there’s at least one in every major Park disney world where you can go and take photos in front of the
Kelli 4:17
pride walls. Okay. Are they donating money from their merch to anybody?
Chris 4:21
I did not get that far this while I saw was the pride walls. I didn’t read about the merch.
Kelli 4:26
They’re making donations. They really should just come up with a shirt. This is we say gay. Mickey Mouse ears.
Chris 4:36
If you don’t find that somewhere, I think that’s gonna be part of our merch.
Kelli 4:43
Great, right. Sure. For sure. Good.
Chris 4:46
Because we do. Yeah. So the DVC lounge at Epcot. Is is shutting down temporarily. For refurb I think mainly their their rooms like seeing the elevator that’s there wow which we didn’t we never experienced the thrill of that elevator ride I don’t know if it’s something was terribly wrong with it if it fell the one story and I don’t know
Kelli 5:11
right yeah replacing on elevator putting in like you know a bar that they should small kitchen with appetizers they should
Chris 5:19
absolutely what they should be doing or seating it could use more seating a bit more seating a little more comfortable seating
Kelli 5:25
and yeah, yeah, but I’m not complaining. It was raining. I had blisters everywhere. Everywhere. Yep. And that sweet person, that cast member must have brought me a multitude of beverages.
Chris 5:39
She did. Did you get some band aids?
Kelli 5:42
You bought me band aids.
Chris 5:43
Oh, that’s right. I bought you today they were they just they’re easy to find like right there.
Kelli 5:50
You ask some cast members for help. And they directed you appropriately.
Chris 5:54
Just wanted to make sure you got spammed
Kelli 5:57
I’ve given you I’m not giving anybody else credit for the band aid purchase. I was in a bad way. And so I’m just saying I’m not complaining about the DVC lounge. I thought it was fantastic. But if we’re going to take the time to refurb it we can do a little bit more things to just the elevator. You can add more seating, I think we could add in a bar area. You know, just some appetizers. People walking around with trays. Lovely.
Chris 6:27
If you gotta ask for what
Kelli 6:29
I mean, I’m just, we’ve spent all in here. Just swivel.
Chris 6:34
Well look. So as a DVC member, though, you can still experience a lounge at Epcot. What they’ve done is they’ve gone over to that Odyssey pavilion area where they often have like they’ll they’ll turn it into a food booth for the Food Wine Festival, that sort of thing. They’ve they’ve partitioned off part of it to make it the DVC lounge in the meantime while the one has been over it imagination for the MSP. refurbed Okay, yeah, not for that. Is
Kelli 7:05
there a bar
Chris 7:10
people walking around with
Kelli 7:12
trays like that was supposed to it’s
Chris 7:17
a lot closer to the first date. I’ll tell you that.
Kelli 7:23
Valid valid. I’m a frequent flyer there
Chris 7:27
it is right beside the first aid. So you know, seems like a good spot to
Kelli 7:32
only give you two Advil or two Tylenol they’ll also give you a cotton delay on they will not give you for I passed that’s fine for the one time and they would not give me four of either which I thought was a bit stingy. But then when I did sort of pass out there in the lobby they did offer me a bid they did they gave you gave you a little cut? No, they offered me a bit
Chris 8:04
which is probably the most Disney thing ever. I’m passing out in first aid. They offered me a bed but no, we got a fast we’ve got a fast pass.
Kelli 8:18
And I was like if you could just give me two more of those Advil, like how much longer do I need to stay here to get four of one just give me a couple more and I’m on my way me too and to know what I’m supposed to do with that
Chris 8:35
it doesn’t tells you also tells you how long it’s been since that happened since we’re we had a fast pass I
Kelli 8:41
mean it doesn’t feel that long does not really does but I was I was really really sick. And they they did what they could for me there were other sick people using beds and such. Apparently a bed opened up while I was a bit surpassing out and so they woke me up and said man would you like a bed and I looked at my watch and I said nope
Chris 9:05
probably not the first
so someone that goes by at five Bell fi on Twitter leaked out some more concept art for the tropical Americas pavilion that they’re they’re replacing the whole Dinah land area with this tropical Americas. Right and we’ve seen some concept art before that like maybe it was going to be in Kanto themed maybe Indiana Jones themed, both possibly. And so this is basically looks like some of the same concept art but just from a different vantage point, okay? Like say looking full on in the face that casita right and you can see casita in the concept art that was officially released. but this is like ground level looking flush at Casita, right I mean, I can’t help but think, obviously this is this is speculation and rumor and right and leaked are too but I mean, I mean, I hope that person’s gonna get their
Kelli 10:16
job while they were there.
Chris 10:17
I don’t know that this person works there but whoever might have leaked it, yeah, I just am. I’m gonna go ahead and start letting myself believe that we’re gonna get a casita.
Kelli 10:28
Right. I think I think that’s safe.
Chris 10:30
I’ve just cannot. I feel like it is a walk through attraction, you know, like, the new Mallanna thing or or the Swiss Family it could be house or both a walkthrough saying with a restaurant ashtag could be both. We get some empanadas that make you feel better.
Kelli 10:51
Those are on iPads. iPads.
Chris 10:53
Yeah, sorry. Yeah, there. Yeah. Okay, so. So yeah, and then and then there was also same thing ground level of like an entryway that looks like it would be to an Indiana Jones type themed area.
Kelli 11:08
Where did Indy go in his movies? Did America did he go to
Chris 11:16
a spend some time in the tropical Americas?
Kelli 11:19
Did he because I thought he was in like Africa.
Chris 11:23
And for the first movie. He was okay.
Kelli 11:26
And the second movie was in India. Okay. Also not tropical Americas
Chris 11:31
but in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull he was in? I think South America. Maybe Central America.
Kelli 11:36
You think maybe South maybe Central? Don’t know. Not sure. Yeah. Pretty sure that it was there
Chris 11:41
was that area for Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and then the dial of destiny? I’m trying to remember and I can’t sorry. Okay.
Kelli 11:51
All right. I just think it’s maybe a stretch to include him and tropical America. It’s
Chris 11:56
okay. I mean, it’s just absolutely the worst movie.
Kelli 11:59
Everybody on dreamlike Valley says that the best place from your bells house is in this area on eternity aisle where there’s a lot of bamboo shoots and stuff I think I don’t think I don’t think there was bamboo in in Kanto. I don’t remember that. But everybody’s really trying to push for that. And I haven’t moved her yet because I really like because you are the lead character in your own story. You got her in a good spot and I like her there.
Chris 12:25
Then forget those people, honey. Yeah,
Kelli 12:27
I mean, I’m just waiting you do you Whatever. Don’t be swayed.
Chris 12:32
Polly’s tower, officially, the new island tower at Polynesian resort officially opens December the 12th. And it’s looks beautiful, very. I feel like it’s very, it’s very Mallanna themed, but in a really nice looking way. This is very similar to a lot of the other villas that we stayed at. One nice thing is that the deluxe studios actually had dishwashers. Oh, okay. Right. So one of the things that they really are pushing here is to this is the first opportunity to really incorporate some of those sustainable technologies as they hit towards their 2030 goal or being like carbon neutral or whatever. Okay. So the the addition of the dishwashers was specifically intended to lessen the amount of plastic, right, we’re not using more plastic forks and knives and things. But what’s really cool is that the those these beautiful rugs that are in the facility are made primarily from plastic bottles that have been converted into really fine yarn.
Kelli 13:41
I like that. I’ve seen those before. Yeah, good good
Chris 13:45
on them. And I cannot wait to stay in this thing. Yeah.
Kelli 13:49
I love being members at the poly or owners at the poly. But it’s their they don’t have the best DVC suites. Right. And so now hopefully they will. I mean the the
Chris 14:01
two and three bedroom the penthouses look off the charts beautiful. Yeah, yeah. Last quick thing here. Bob Iger received an honorary knighthood from Prince William. So he is an honorary night of the British Empire.
Kelli 14:15
What has he done for Britain? Well, I’m
Chris 14:17
glad you asked. He’s got it for services that that continued to strengthen the relationship between the UK and the US now he’s not he’s not allowed to. He’s not a sir. You can’t be sir Bob Iger because he’s not British. Right. He This is an honorary knighthood. Very
Kelli 14:39
doctorate shouldn’t do the work but we’re gonna give you the hood. Sure.
Chris 14:43
He feels like he’d done some work. But he is allowed to like if he wants to sign his name Bob Iger, comma kbe night of the British Empire. I mean, it like that
Kelli 15:00
that’s not bad but I think I would want people to call me what are they? What would they call me madam? Well
Chris 15:08
if you were if he was the sir if I was a sir if I got if I got knighted I’d be a surgeon you’d be a lady. If How do I get to be do get knighted? Do you become a dame?
Kelli 15:21
Oh, you’re saying I’d be a lady just by my relationship to you. Okay, well, no, I want to be my own identity the lead character my own story. I want to be the day
Chris 15:30
anybody’s ever seen fool’s gold by the way. That’s why we keep saying that. That’s
Kelli 15:37
cool, quote, random movie.
Chris 15:38
super random. But yes, that’s why Judi Dench is a day she’s Dame Judi Dench release. Day Prue Leith Dame Helen Mirren. I believe
Kelli 15:49
she better be I mean, she was the queen. She was the actual queen.
Chris 15:55
She wasn’t an actual queen. I’m gonna go talk about my segment now which is the Tomorrowland segment.
Kelli 16:04
Okay, so I’m talking about something that we haven’t done yet. Food.
Chris 16:08
We have not eaten yet. Okay. I’m doing your whole thing that’s happened to have it. So how many years has it been since the original Lion King came out? 30 years, it has been 30 Bloody years
Kelli 16:25

And so now you’ve said move and you love chai and Chai until you said like three of my favorite words. And coffee was in there. 10 Coffee was in there and banana and caramel. Like it’s made for you. I am excited about that. I
Chris 21:23

This is vanilla ice cream that sits between two sugar cookies but the sugar cookies are also dusted with like this blue cake. So it’s a very modelled looking blue vanilla sugar cookie that sandwiches. Vanilla ice cream in it, of course has a Zazu chocolate medallion on top.
Kelli 21:51
Hmm, I thought it was gonna be Zazie his colors. He’s blue. He’s blue and yellow and red. It’s

Kelli 22:09
Every time. Every time we’re on that side of the park. It’s closed. If that’s true. We’re either there early in the morning or late in the afternoon. We’re never there for the 30 minutes. It’s open at lunch. It’s so hard to get it to arrive.
Chris 22:24
Well, they will have the you follow order a few key. Okay cheesecake. Oh, it says a say this is a passion fruit mango cheesecake. Yes. With a coconut lime crust of vanilla bean Chantilly and a chocolate medallion. Okay. Restaurant Osiris will have the Shenzi strawberry lemonade Shenzi was one of the three main hyenas in the movie. And this is Mina made lemonade. Minute made strawberry smoothie with some blue curacao syrup, and glow cube. Okay, that sounds fun like a refreshing drink. Then you got the rightful ruler cupcake. Also, this is pizza farI it’s not the rightful ruler though. It’s it’s all around the car. No scar. So this is a red velvet cake filled with cookies and cream cheesecake on the inside. Oh, I know. And then chocolate icing. That looks like rocks. So like it looks like standing on top of Yeah, it’s got his medallion. He’s standing on top of this chocolate icing. But he’s made a little like,
Kelli 23:33
grey rocks. Yeah. Okay, gotcha.
Chris 23:38
Then at trilobites you can get and I’m not for floats. I don’t I’m not a big Shut up person. Shut
Kelli 23:45

Kelli 23:52
you would like that it’s probably gonna be like key lime situation.
Chris 23:57
It’s Dole Whip, lime. It’s lime Dole Whip, which I do feel like I probably could get into with it sitting in Sprite with coconut and Blue Curacao syrup, then is topped with a chocolate medallion.
Kelli 24:12
I don’t know. Yeah, I love a float. But I do prefer like a coke float or root beer float. Or that new creamsicle thing from Sonic? No, like, I don’t want I don’t want a lime sprite float.
Chris 24:25
I’m not okay for any of them. Okay, so that’s all the stuff you can get from June. Let’s see what did I say? Oh, I forgot. It’s like June this like now through September or some September. The ninth I think is when you don’t
Kelli 24:43
have to rush but really the entire summer they’re celebrating 30 years of mind king with 30
Chris 24:47
years of The Lion King animal kingdom. Yeah. And I’ve only got one minute left. But they’re also celebrating the launch this month of Tiana’s Bayou adventure from June 28. through September 6, you can get a few things at the Magic Kingdom. They’re doing this. They’ve got some new things all over like at Disney Springs and other places. But just at the Magic Kingdom at the Golden Oak outpost, you’re gonna be able to get hot honey chicken with sweet potato fries. Yeah, chicken nuggets tossing hot honey sauce, sir with the New Orleans olive relish engaged in spicy sweet potato fries, shrimp gumbo soup tena fries, or or or you ready for it. Tiana’s famous Pina is like sweet fluffy bun yeas eight
Kelli 25:30
with a mint julep. She’s still in the mid July with Tiana, Pinocchio’s
Chris 25:37
village Haus Disneyland
Kelli 25:41
in New Orleans at Disneyland she sells a mint juleps I had it with my haunted mansion cupcake because she was selling those while we were there. It’s Tiana that I think it was. You had to go somewhere to get the vignette days. And I got the Mint Julep and the Haunted Mansion cupcake, which was Red Velvet, because it’s what it’s like, I’ll do a try. I don’t know. I don’t know why Tiana was selling those. I’m just saying she was making bank off those mint juleps at Disneyland.
Chris 26:13
So there was more things to talk about him.
Kelli 26:17
But she was just printing money. It wasn’t New Orleans wasn’t Tiana. It was just New Orleans Square. It was Tiana. What do you like to Jana? Let her have cake
Chris 26:28
was haunted mansion. That was the audit. But
Kelli 26:31
it’s also in that square area. I’m just telling you Tiana was doing the mint juleps and they were good. Could have been a little bit larger. But they were excellent. Jana was just making bank. Go ahead. Start my segment. I know you tried to cut me off. So we’re both going back. 30 some odd years this week. Okay. We are. So you did the Lion King. So in I’ve got World Showcase. And so I’m going back to the early 90s When Disney would release those singalong song VHS tapes. You could still do the single Well, do you have did you have them? Will be Jean had some of those?
Chris 27:17
She had the VHS tapes of the movies.
Kelli 27:22
Okay, so this is the beauty. Okay, this is the beauty but also sort of the pain point was because you would have to watch the whole movie to get to the songs, right? There’s no skipping forward on DVDs or what have you. Okay, so you would have to watch the whole movie. Well, if you bought the Sing along VHS, then it’s just all the songs back to back. But they would mix and match. So wouldn’t be like here, all the beauty and the beast songs here all the frozen songs, right? So you’d have a couple of this one and a couple on that one. So you would want to buy multiple VHS is to have songs you liked? Well, sure. Okay. I had one in particular, which I loved. And we’re gonna get into that. Okay, but I want to give you a little bit of a backstory on these VHS things. So they released this series beginning in 1986. And the idea was that the words were on the screen and Mickey Mouse’s head was the bouncing ball. But not all of them had bouncing ball. Some of them the words just lit up. There was early releases, with footage containing Professor owl that’s who was on my VHS in his class. Professor owl actually comes from to Disney shorts from 1953. So Professor owl is old school and they brought him back to do professional hour while in this classroom. He was voiced by Corey Burton. And he’s hosting the viewers with his class as his assistance in some of the videos. And you also have Jiminy Cricket. So my video also had Jiminy Cricket as the host. Okay, so you had the owl like introducing it, and then Jiminy Cricket was the host. These were made in us, Spain and Mexico, Canada, UK, Australia, Japan, Argentina, Brazil, France, Germany, and Italy, in all those different languages, and in some case, different versions of the video in those languages. Okay, so I’ve added a little bit of fun here. So go ahead and play that that blue button there. This is our intro to the singalong videos why do you remember this? Because Jean didn’t have them we just sing it.
Chris 29:35
I didn’t want you to say it
Kelli 29:46
now you at home with your favorite is the song. He was great. Every new one. You can sing along with your favorite song no Let’s
find out before you’re done music Fun for Everyone
Chris 30:22
Wow,
Kelli 30:22
you don’t you didn’t know that at all? No. Okay. Well, so I had one particular video that I loved and we’re gonna get into it. Okay, but I want to tell you how some of these came out. Okay, so the first one in 1986 was a series, this launch in October 1986 With zippity doo da. Now, this particular video fairly quickly after 1986 stopped, because Zubeida is horribly racist. And it shows clips from the movie. So that one’s very difficult to find these days, you can still get on eBay, but it was zippity doo doc came out in 1986, then Heigh Ho, the bare necessities you can fly very merry Christmas songs and then fun with music in 1989. Okay, so again, these have very clear character references and the title, but it’s mix and match on the song so it’s not like all Peter Pan songs or whatever. The second series began in May of 1990. Now the early 90s is what Disney would call the Renaissance age. That’s going to be your little mermaid Pocahontas. Jasmine Beauty and the Beast, right. So these were supposedly the empowered women that we didn’t see from the 50s although I’ve mentioned the research before, and the research shows that the women of the early 90s actually spoke less in the Disney movies than the than the women from the 50s and 60s, so we’ll just put that aside. We’re gonna put Disney didn’t quantify that properly. But they did call this their Renaissance era well during this early 90s That’s when you had under the sea. Disneyland fun. I love to laugh Be our guest friend like me in the 12 days of Christmas or the Sing along. This was the names of the VHS. I had the BR guest sing along okay, which came out in 1992 This went with me to college. Wow. Yeah. And I remember I would just play it on repeat over and over and over while I was studying because it was just background music. And I could sing along I knew all the songs. Now you knew the intro. This is how I knew the intro because you’re not fast forwarding through this in a VHS right you just go straight into it. So on the beat Be Our Guest release you had Be Our Guest Bob’s a spoonful of sugar Mary Poppins. little wooden head by Pinocchio, Bella notae lady in the tramp Heffalumps and Woozles Winnie the Pooh beauty in the beast, the world’s greatest criminal mind from the Great Mouse Detective Once Upon a Dream and then be chimp Chimp, chimp shimmery Once Upon a Dream and then be our guest the reprise. Now, this is this is the reason I’m wearing the Pooh ears today is because of the song Heffalumps and Woozles. I did not know where that came from it all. I had never heard that song in my entire life. Until I got this VHS tape. I became c’est with Heffalumps and Woozles. That answers
Chris 33:24
like such a question that I’ve had for years.
Kelli 33:28
Really? Yes. Which is what’s the question?
Chris 33:31
Why the hell do you know so much about heffalumps?
Kelli 33:36
very confused souls have sinned. Woozles very sly, sly. It’s like yeah, they come in ones into souls. And if you so chooses, yeah, you got no, right. So I was doing the POV on the Winnie the Pooh great adventure ride. And you go through a section of Heffalumps and Woozles. And every time I hear that song, actually I get mad at the roommate who I know stole this VHS tape when she moved out. Okay, I know she stole it and yes, I am bitter and I know her name. Okay. Very aware of who this was. And I’m upset with her. But so I can see. So but the Heffalumps and Woozles was my favorite song. Okay. Then in the mid 90s, they came out with Circle of Life colors the when topsy turvy which had hunchback songs Pongo and Perdita honor to us all happy, haunting party at Disneyland and sing along with poohbear and Piglet to Okay, now then in March of 1999, they actually re released the 14 videos in different collections. So it was collection of all time favorites, the early years collection of all time favorites. Magic years collection of all time favorites, the modern classics. Okay, so they re released those in the late 90s. So this is about a 10 year span here, where this was hot. Yeah, right. This was hot. They were buying, because you at that point, once it goes into the vault, you couldn’t get it. Right. I forgot all about the vault, the vault, there’s no ordering this stuff online. Okay, not in the 80s and 90s. That’s not what we did, then people. And so when something went into the vault couldn’t get it, it was it was out of your hands, you had no chance of ever getting that again. Okay. So it was a big deal. So then they launched some newly remastered versions in the early 2000s. and So sing along with Tigger on my way, little patch of heaven. And then they launched Disney Princess sing along volumes, one, two, and three. Okay. Now, you may wonder, why haven’t we had any more of these since, say approximately 2006?
Chris 36:02
Well, I mean, was that would have predated streaming like we have today. So YouTube
Kelli 36:06
launched in 2005. And so once YouTube launched couldn’t really stop, no, they launched their own channel and post the singalong songs there. So instead of creating videos, they just go straight to YouTube with it, and they’re getting the, the likes, clicks, follows subscribes, etc. Now, here’s the problem with this plan. I’m fine with the plan, put them on YouTube. Okay, but that’s not where I found my intro song. I had to really dig for that. There are places online, where people upload those entire VHS tapes have to be illegal, but it looks to me it came up in the first page of Google search. So it wasn’t like on the dark web or anything. Sure. Okay. But in any case, they have 158 videos on their singalong channel. And none of them are the ones from this one, right? Because these are all older. Right? So they don’t have like Pocahontas. They’re still in Beauty and Beast. They have the new Aladdin. They have the frozen they have onward they have all of the new zombies and High School Musical and stuff like that. They don’t have these older ones on there, which I think is ageist I would just like to say and be bring them back.
Chris 37:35
Right? Bring them out of the ball.
Kelli 37:37
What’s wrong with a good Heffalumps and Woozles singalong Nothing dear that’s what I’m saying. So
Chris 37:43
I wonder how they these compared to the single there’s a whole section on Disney plus of single on yes right
Kelli 37:50
not on there there. No, really? Yep, these older VHS tapes are not on Disney plus, and they’re not on their YouTube channel. Well epic epic myths that’s how my epic these things are like in still really in the vault. actually still nobody’s nobody’s broke my vault is empty except for these videos bring them back Disney plus bring them to Disney plus people and bring the owl I won’t bow with his intro
