That’s right. And so partly because we talk about food again, which is a common thread. Clearly, we highlight the fall snacks that were coming to Disney World in the fall of 2020. But I think what drove this was our recap of Jelly Rolls. No, that’s what drove the amazing dueling Piano Bar at Boardwalk which super underrated. It’s so underrated. Yes, absolutely. Maybe the best nighttime activity in all of Walt Disney World. Yeah. And it doesn’t get talked about enough. It doesn’t. So I think I mean, dueling Piano Bar is just fantastic.

So today since we’re not too far into the fall season, we’re going to talk about the Halloween and fall snacks that are available at the resorts because more and more and more people are going to Disney and just doing resort stays in their resort hopping and trying to get into as many pools as they can get as many restaurants as they can. 15 years ago.

Chris 11:52
We didn’t even talk about Disney Springs. But Emirates and the ganache are doing some crazy stuff. And then there’s a good Nasseri. They’re gonna actually I don’t want to hear any more complaints out of her.
Kelli 12:06
So we love her to death. That’s fantastic. Okay, well done, honey. Well done. Let’s hit world check. Because I’m excited about this one. Here we go. Tonight for World Showcase. We are talking about Jelly Rolls. Okay. Jelly Rolls is Disney’s dueling Piano Bar. They’re located on the boardwalk at the boardwalk resort. I am sporting boardwalk shirt tonight as a little bit of an homage. You didn’t even catch that? Well. You do have to be 21 or older to enter and there’s a cover of charge is about $15 Is drinks only no food except for popcorn. So this is where you’re going after dinner. Interesting. They just started before they shut down for the pandemic to sell their drinks and refillable take home tumblers and shot glasses, that glow. And they also sell non alcoholic drinks. Right? So you could order your drinks and you get like a Jelly Rolls cup. And on the backside of it. It says Come roll with me. Yes. So for those of you that don’t know what a dueling Piano Bar is, right, let me just back up for a second. It’s one of our favorite things to do. It’s not something that we do on the regular I would say we go like once every three years.
Chris 13:23
But we love it every time we go out every time
Kelli 13:26
we go. We love it. We love love, love it. It’s two piano players playing together and then sometimes separately, and they rotate throughout the night. So imagine a state with too big baby grand pianos. Right. And I mean, they use everything they use the keyboard cover, like a drum, you know, they’re doing that number with it. Yes, tambourines. They have other things and so they rotate. So say, for example, me and you are sitting at pianos right now. And we start the night, man, and we’re killing it. Yeah. And like an hour in, I tap out. Yep. And somebody else comes in and starts playing at my piano, right. And then like an hour later, you tap out. And so it rotates like that throughout the night with just the stream of amazing talent. We’ve never been to a piano bar that didn’t just have phenomenal talent, right? And so you’re blown away. The cool thing about Jelly Rolls and a lot of other piano bars have been to do the same thing. But they have a massive mirror hanging on the wall, like at an angle on the opposite side of the pianos so that you can see their hands and working. Yeah, because they are killing it. So while they’re playing, okay, you’re also sending a request, like written on a napkin or something, right? You put $1 or $5 bill in with a request and drop it up there and their thing. And so they will pull out the request. They’re using no music, all memorization, right? They pull out a request, and they’ll look at it and say like, okay, yeah, I want to play this next, but you you take the lead on this one, and so I wad it up and I throw it to him. He grabs it and then suddenly We both know what we’re doing next. And we know that he takes the lead when they come out and switch the ad, specifically Jelly Rolls, and I have seen this sometimes other places too. The people that are about to tap in, will sing, right? So you’ll end up with like, three or four people on stage singing together. So it’s not like at a concert, you know, we’re okay, the bands can take quick 15 minute break, and we’ll be right back. No, the music goes all night. Long. It’s, it’s amazing. So you got to piano players rotating throughout the night. Sometimes they they I know the song better than you do. And so I take the lead, and you’re just playing like backup chords, or whatever. And sometimes we both just rip it out. At Jelly Rolls, they will playing songs from the 70s 80s 90s and 2000s. And they sing so the I mean, you know, you guys know Disney, right? So you can imagine the talent that’s coming through a place like Jelly Rolls, there are a lot of piano bars in the world. But if you’re going to be on Disney property, you’re at the top of the top from a talent perspective. So you can only imagine they take requests. So after you paid your cover charge, make sure you bring extra ones and fives. But at Jelly Rolls, they do keep it clean. I will say that a lot of the other piano bars that we’ve been to it’s sort of the they’re they’re popular among say the bachelor bachelorette night out crowd. Sure. And so it can get a little bit raunchy. Sure. You know, occasionally one of the pianists will call somebody up on stage and we’re making you know, hand gestures and things of that nature. But they will not do that at Jelly Rolls. Okay, so
Chris 16:45
we’ll add versus that. No, no. Fun to sing fun to say? Yes.
Kelli 16:51
So they’re gonna keep it clean. You’re not singing family tradition by Hank Williams, Jr. You’re not singing Joy to the world by three dog night. Okay, so we’re keeping that clean. And I will say, while we have not been to piano bars that often in our life, I know all the hand motions for Joy to the world from three dog night. And I know all of the words that we add to family tradition. Sure. It is amazing how many songs they have memorized. Yeah. It’s always it’s so it’s so rare for them to say whoever requested this one. We don’t know it, right. So come up and give us another request. And sometimes they’ll do that. But it is rare. I mean, rare. The last time we were at Jelly Rolls, we went in with our typical list. And so they told us no to several. had a hard time finding one that Mickey would allow them to sing. Jelly Rolls is not owned by Disney. It’s not owned and operated by Disney. But it is on Disney proper. Sure. So there’s some standards there. So if you’ve never been to a dueling Piano Bar, I will say it’s a must do. Yeah. If you’ve been to them, and you like them. This one is next level. Yeah, it’s going to be cleaner. And I mean, the floors, the tables. environment is cleaner. I’m sure the drinks are more expensive. But in any case, it’s going to be at a different level than your average bar, say in you know, Manhattan or whatever. And so I would still say go, if you don’t know what a dueling Piano Bar is, yeah, go. If you do know, go, just go. Let’s just say go. What I would describe it as is being at an interactive concert. Right? So imagine being with a big group of people, and a song you all know, comes on, and everybody starts singing? Yeah, right. It’s that kind of atmosphere.
Chris 18:54
It’s very, it’s very party vibe.
Kelli 18:56
It’s a very party vibe. But like, at some points, the whole bar is singing, right. And so you’re clapping for the pianists. After each songs are requesting songs, you can still talk to the folks that you’re at the table with, right? It’s not so loud. And everybody’s you know, dancing shoulder to shoulder. No, you’re sitting at a table with somebody, and you can still talk to them. And you can sing along. Yeah,
Chris 19:20
it feels like a very safe place to let loose.
Kelli 19:24
Yes, yes, no, it’s fantastic. So I actually have a piano bar playlist in iTunes that I have created out of favorite songs that we’ve heard at piano bars. So like when we go to piano bars, I keep a note and I write down songs that people requested that I’d never heard at a piano bar before, which
Chris 19:47
is frankly the most Kelly thing I’ve ever seen you do. That is just as Kelly as though it is.
Kelli 19:55
But so I do have a piano bar playlist. It’s one of my favorites. Now every night is different, right? But you’re gonna hear a lot of Beatles. You’re gonna hear Elton John crocodile rock is definitely on my piano bar playlist. I’m sure they never make it through the night without playing Billy Joel’s Piano Man, they probably play it two or three times.
Chris 20:16
I was gonna say pro tip, I think is don’t request Piano Man. Unless you are dedicated to staying for the entire night. Yeah, no, that’s gonna get played at the end or not gonna, you can request it as early as you want. Pay him a whole bunch of money, they’re still not gonna play it until the end of the month.
Kelli 20:33
They’re gonna play it towards the end. And I And that’s the thing is a lot of people are gonna request Piano Man, they’re gonna make a bunch of money. They’re gonna make tons of money off of that. So there’s gonna let the tips keep coming in. Keep coming in. Keep coming in and we’re gonna play it at the end of the night. Yeah, I’m sure that you’re gonna hear Don’t Stop Believin by journey. Garth Brooks friends in low places. Wagon Wheel by old crow medicine show. But really based on the guest The possibilities are endless. I mean, you could end up hearing anything Yeah, we
Chris 21:03
heard a want to start a fight by pink. I think so. Yeah. And she was like, I don’t know if I do this. But then she killed it. They
Kelli 21:12
should. Yeah, exactly. I usually request something by Bon Jovi like living on a prayer that he mean Rhapsody is another one that super popular
Chris 21:22
and they’ll do what like you said they’ll have other people come out on stage and there’s like three or four of them. Yeah, they’ll knock out something like Bohemian Rhapsody.
Kelli 21:29
But you’ll also hear songs like by Beyonce put a ring on it is a big one. I almost always put a ring on it. Slim Shady by Eminem.
Chris 21:40
At a piano Piano Bar Fresh
Kelli 21:42
Prince of Bel Air by Will Smith. We heard that Sweet Child of Mine by Guns and Roses. Pour some sugar on me by deftly Oh yes. Right. You will be surprised by what these guys can
Chris 21:54
play. That’s just how well they just kill them. Yes,
Kelli 21:57
but just like any Piano Bar we’ve been to you want to get there early. Yes, it’s open from seven to two daily. But if you’re not there by eight you don’t get a table. It’s standing room only by nine. So get there at a if you want to sit I’m telling you you do want to sit it’s much more enjoyable if you’re sitting. I will say their Facebook page said they were going to open on October the first in late June. But they have now posted on September the fourth that their opening has been postponed indefinitely because of COVID
Chris 22:30
