Fantasyland in WDW is ... Kinda Weird | EarzUp!

[00:00:03] It's time for the show that brings the magic right to your speakers. EarzUp! Yes, that's right everybody. EarzUp!. We are back. Welcome to the show. I appreciate you very much for being here. With me as always is my friend Eric. What's going on Eric? Oh hey. Guess you. Talking to you.

[00:00:29] Oh yes. Good times. I get more gentle work tomorrow. I love that for you dude. Yeah, I made the very funny joke. I'm glad you brought it up. I made the very funny joke that it's your coronation day tomorrow because you're getting a crown put on. And I thought that was very funny of me. It was very clever. Thanks man. And I can't wait to find out what it's like to get a crown put on my tooth tomorrow. Can't wait to hear all about it man on our next shows.

[00:00:59] Oh yes. Oh yes. And everybody else is waiting. Baited breath. That's right. All of that. All that fun stuff man. Tell us about his tooth. Well speaking of our upcoming shows, I have a couple ideas for shows. I have people in the wings and there are people that we all know and love. One of them is our very own Miss Beverly. Oh, I'm talking. Yeah.

[00:01:23] I'm bullying her to come back on the show because she recently went to LA by train. Her and her kid. I don't know if Sam went with her, went with them, but they took the frigging Amtrak from the Bay Area to LA. All the way down to LA. What were they doing in LA? Well, they went to Disneyland. We'll find out. They went to Disneyland. Oh. Oh. Oh, okay. Yeah. But I've never heard of anybody doing this before.

[00:01:52] I've never heard of anybody up in the Bay Area taking the train to Disneyland. Huh. And she did it. And, you know, spoiler alert, it sucked. So I was like, you got to come on and talk about that experience. You know, you absolutely have to because this is a whole unique opportunity for me to learn about why I'm never going to do that. Huh. Okay.

[00:02:15] I know Dan often takes the train up from San Diego to Disneyland. See, I think that's fine. I mean, San Diego. That seems cool. It's like a two hour car ride. Okay. You know, if, well, if there's like one freeway that links the two, I forget the number of it. Yeah. It's like too late and it's like backed up constantly. So yeah, I would take the train also. I've done the drive once.

[00:02:43] I've never done the train, but yeah, Dan's always doing that. I have never taken a passenger train and I want to. Oh, but the thing about me is that I want the sleeper car. I want the, you know, the attendant. I want the accoutrement. I want to, I want to be, I want to be weighted on. I don't want to sit, you know, as Jeremy would say, cheek to jowl, uh, with my fellow unwashed mass masses, men, mass people.

[00:03:13] You want the experience of, of James Bond in the sixties. That's right. Just in a, in a room that's some, for some reason made out of wood. I want to saunter into the dining car. That's what I want to do. I don't want to sit in a glorified bus. Uh, yeah. I mean, really it's a bus on, on, on rails. You know, I don't want to do that. Well, I see the cars go by all the time. I don't want. Based on my experience watching movies.

[00:03:42] Um, eventually a man with a hook for a hand will come in and attack you. Well, yeah. Or, uh, you know, I'll open the bathroom cart door and there'll be a body in there and then someone will scream and they'll think I did it. And then I'll have to run and hide. Oh no. Until I solve the crime. Right. That's, and that's just a lot of pressure for me. So I just, I'm kind of uninterested in doing that. And Agatha Christie has been gone for a long time, so she can't help you. Nobody ever know. No.

[00:04:12] No, there's no one to help me. So that's going to happen. I don't know when, maybe, uh, maybe next month. I don't know. I need to talk to her and see like how long it is and what's going on. Cause maybe she'll just come on for half our news show in a couple of weeks. I don't know. Okay. Whatever. The other person I have, I already kind of mentioned Jeremy, Jeremy. He texted me the other day. He goes, by the way, I have finally finished my show on the music of pirates of the Caribbean. Oh, well, yes. Yes.

[00:04:40] Which I thought we've already done, but apparently we have not. Cause I trust him more than I trust myself. I was going to say, haven't we done that already? I don't know. So if he says we haven't, if we haven't, uh, but he's so cute because he like sent me a screenshot and he have his, like, you know, his script. Cause he writes it out like I do. And he has his logo on the header and like, you know, a formal title or whatever. I'm like, Oh man, that's adorable. Jerry. So he's going to come on and do that.

[00:05:08] I don't know when I sent out a thing. I was like, Hey, when do you want to come on? I haven't heard back. So working on that. There you go. That's it. That's our upcoming shows. You know what I mean? Okay. So that'd be fun for everybody, dude. That's it. That's all I got. That's all, that's all the announcements. Like I can, there are more announcements, but I can't explain them right now. I cannot announce them currently. They're, they're, they're too secretive. There are too secretive. They're stuff. They're stuff, man. Okay. You know, potentially happening.

[00:05:37] Um, but speaking of things that have happened, actually, I just released, I believe it was today. Actually, the, uh, episode shoot three or four of this season of the Buena Vista boys. Oh, that came out. Yeah. Where we cover the strongest man in the world. Now it is not a show all about me and my, my, my upbringing, but it is the third act of the Medfield college trilogy starring Russell. Yeah.

[00:06:06] Um, yeah, it's, it's, it's hard. It was a hard, it was a hard watch, man. And I felt, I felt vindicated or justified or something because Matt thought it was hard also. And he kind of has a lower bar for quality than I do sometimes when it comes to these movies, like he can have a better time with a worse movie because he's much more positive person than I am. Uh, but even he was like, Ooh, yeah, this is a rough one, man. Oh my goodness. But it's still cool though. You got to watch it.

[00:06:36] It's neat because like they, the, uh, what they use, the place that they use for Medfield college, the set or the location is the animation studio in Burbank. So you kind of get to see that, you know, area and it's just, it's kind of fun, you know, I guess it's a fun thing to do. All right. I look forward to listening, listening to it. Um, yeah, perhaps tomorrow on my additional day off. See, there you go, man. Yeah.

[00:07:05] I got to go down and go down to the hardware store and pick up some, some crap. Uh-oh. Well, you know, don't, don't be like the Maitlands. You know what happened when they were had, they were on vacation and they ran to the hardware store. Don't pass any covered bridges, dude. The Maitlands. Yes. I don't know why that, I don't know where that came from. I really, truly don't. And sometimes I worry even myself.

[00:07:29] Well, I won't, I won't drive over and I can guarantee I won't drive over any covered bridge bridges. Thank you very much. Yes. Okay, folks, let's get into it. Well, what is the show today? Actually, Eric, and then we're going to do a little bit of news. There's a couple of breaking news items I want to talk about and then, and then we'll get into the show. But what is it? Remind me, please. Okay. I'm too, I'm too dumb. Do we want to do the news first or are we doing? Yes, we're doing news first, but tell me the show.

[00:07:56] The show is fantasy land at Walt Disney world because Taryn asked to hear about fantasy land and how it's different from fantasy land and Disney land. And there are, there are some differences. So I'm not going to do like a, we haven't done this on the Supreme resort, like a true comparison,

[00:08:25] which is what we do every episode. Right. But we, so we haven't done fantasy land as the whole land. Uh, but I do have a fair amount of information on fantasy land in, in, uh, Walt Disney world and the new fantasy land. It came out in 2012. Nice dude. Okay. Well, that sounds great, man. Yeah.

[00:08:52] I remember being in fantasy land at Disney world going like, this is weird. It was a weird, it felt just like a County fair almost. We'll, we'll get into it. We'll get into it. But there are a couple of things I want to talk about. Yeah. Yeah. There's a couple of things I want to mention. Number one. Well, I guess this is fun. I don't know if it's breaking news. Uh, but apparently Pedro Pascal went, um, went to Disneyland addressed as the Mandalorian

[00:09:17] and surprised everybody on, um, on, uh, on millennium Falcon space mountain apparently is what this says. Space mountain. Oh no, I'm sorry. No, no, no, no. Uh, he was, he rode space mountain with Sigourney Weaver and he'd like shared the photo on his Instagram. And it's really cute. First of all, you gotta love Sigourney Weaver. I don't care, you know, who, and she's like bearing her head in his shoulder and he's just like, you know, he's yelling and it's very funny. It's a very cute.

[00:09:46] And they're on the front. They're in front, which is if you got, you gotta be on the front. Oh yeah. Yeah. And first of all, rude because it shows Pascal. It goes, Pascal 51. Why, why does his age matter? Why would they, why would they say that? It doesn't like, who cares? The video was fun and on its own. Why do we need to say how old he is? Yeah.

[00:10:15] What relevant, what's the relevance of his age? I'm like, Oh, I'm almost as old as him. Okay. Childless, childless Disney adult tackles Disneyland. It hides his face in shame. How am I? Yeah. So he was apparently preparing to greet visitors entering the Millennium Falcon smugglers run attraction. He says, don't make it too obvious. It's me. Says Pascal in the clip while adjusting his helmet. I don't think they're going to hear my welcome, but I'll just be like, what's up? Amen.

[00:10:44] The fantastic four star is then seen leaning on equipment as he waits for a group of excited visitors to walk toward the ride. Having been asked to share a message with them, Pascal eventually removes his helmet, causing the group to erupt in gasps and screams. Now you all have to die because you've seen my face. The actor joked to the surprise park goers. Then he pulled out a machine gun and cut them all in half. Yeah. They stopped the video at that point. It was weird. Well, I mean, look, you can't show it.

[00:11:14] That's the thing. But it's available on the dark web though. Yeah. Oh. So apparently there, he's doing a press tour of the Mandalorian and Grogu movie. It's coming. It's coming, man. It's coming. So there you go, dude. It's fun, man. It was a fun video. It's, it's, I mean, yeah, it's totally PR, but it was. Of course. You know, you know, it was kind of fun where he, he was talking before they came up and he's like, what do I do?

[00:11:43] I mean, yeah, it's, I, I, I like to believe that he's just the type of guy to be like, you know what? Like, Depp does this all the frigging time in pirates. Can let me do it. I just show up on the ride. Yeah. Let me do this dude. And then they're like, yeah, we could do that. And he's like, well, I don't know what to do now. That's what I, that's what I like to think because I like to think Pedro Pascal is that kind of like weird ass dude. You know what I mean? He seems cool. Yeah. You know what? He seems dorky.

[00:12:13] Yeah. Stylized. Like a stylized dorkness. I don't think he's cool. I don't think he seems for me. He doesn't seem like a cool dude. Well, he's just very hyper stylized and like aware of himself. So he has that confidence, but he's also kind of dorky because he just, I don't know. He just seems like a big kid. I don't know. You know what I mean? Like I consider myself. So I think that's why I think a dork is cool. I mean, I'm not saying dorks aren't cool.

[00:12:42] I'm saying there's a difference in the coolosity factor of a Hollywood star. Like Brad Pitt seems like a cool dude, right? Leonardo DiCaprio. That's what I think is a cool Hollywood. Okay. If that's the way you're to find him cool. Wait, what's up guys? You want to eat some frigging toast? I don't know. He just seems like a weird, like a, like a dorky weird guy. Not that I wouldn't like to hang out with him because he seems infinitely more fun to hang out with than like Leonardo DiCaprio. Yeah.

[00:13:10] I don't, I don't know that I would want to hang out with Leo DiCaprio, but I would hang out with Pedro Pascal. In the, in the, in the mid nineties. Yes, absolutely. But now, no, not really. He's like, Hey, I bought a 17 churros. You want one? See, this is what I'm saying. This is like, that's what Pascal would do. I think he would go to the churro cart, buy out all the churros and just hand them out to people. That's what I imagine.

[00:13:37] I can't imagine anybody else like a Bradley pit doing that or anything like that. So that's what I mean. So everyone, everyone calm down, but here's the big news. There's a major major, there's a major change coming for park hopping at Disneyland. I love this. Yeah. It is eliminating it's 11 a.m. Park hopper restriction. And they were talking about that. I think a little bit ago, but there was no date, but now there is a date. It's June 9th. That's, that's great.

[00:14:05] Allowing guests with park hopper tickets and magic. He passes to move between Disneyland and Disney California adventure at any time. Apparently. Park reservations will still be required, but I don't know why, because they don't matter. Right. What's the point? Yeah. You're going to walk into Disneyland and then walk over to DCA or vice versa. Yeah.

[00:14:30] The operational shift comes as Disney prepares for long-term growth following the Anaheim city council's blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Yeah. So that's cool. Yeah. I, I, you know, I don't know why reservations need to stay. I'm sure there's an operational, you know, undercoating that needs to be, um, that needs to be addressed, but you know, maybe fun. Yeah. Yeah. As Brian's saying in the chat, you don't even need to walk into the park that you reserve. You just make a reservation and then go wherever you want to do.

[00:15:00] I mean, if you have a park hopper. So they're, they're treating those things as two different tickets, I would guess, in the system in order for this to happen. I don't know. They probably got a lot of code to clean up. What do I know, dude? You know what I mean? They, they love cleaning up code. They look at that app. Yeah, man. Disney did reiterate earlier this year that reservations will continue to be necessary for the foreseeable future. Okay. Sure.

[00:15:30] Why not? Yeah. That sounds like, uh, I mean, it's a step in the right direction. Let's, let's, let's be positive. Absolutely. Although I don't really, I don't really care. But the reservation, I guess the reservations only mattered to you if you couldn't get one. Right. Or if you had a magic key or whatever, you had a ticket and you couldn't get a reservation, even though you were, you were allowed to go that time.

[00:15:58] That's when it, yeah, that's probably when you got, you got borked, you know? Yeah. Yeah. I remember going to Walt Disney World years ago when the reservations were really tight and Brandy decided to come along on the trip at the last minute. And basically every day I just had to go somewhere and go, okay. So my wife, um, my wife decided to join us at the last minute.

[00:16:28] My entire family is here. There are, there are 90 of us and, uh, she wants to join us. And they're like, okay. All right. We're good. Yeah. We're good, man. Um, and you know, last but not least, how about this? There's a new, uh, Tiki mug coming to Trader Sam's. It's a laughing hyena. I don't think it looks very cool to be honest with you. I haven't looked at this yet. Is this so the laughing hyena from, uh, jungle cruise?

[00:16:59] Maybe. I don't know. I don't know. It looks very, I don't know any other laughing hyenas. It looks very jungle bookish. I don't just look like. Let me look it up. Okay. It looks cartoonish for a, um, for a Tiki mug. If that makes sense. I don't feel like Tiki mugs should be cartoonish, rounded, bubbly. They should be, they should look carved. They should look darker than the thing that they're representing. And this one is not it for me, dude. Pass, pass on it.

[00:17:29] Okay. Let's see here. Disney parks blog. Um, served with the barrel of mischief cocktail. Oh, that's very, very cartoony. You're right. Yeah. I don't like it. It looks, I mean, it looks a decent amount, like the actual animatronic, but yeah. Yeah. I don't know. Whatever. That's kind of elaborate for a Tiki mug. I think so too. I think so too. So there you go.

[00:17:58] That's it. Those are the things I want to talk about. Okay. You know what I mean? Yeah. Um, let's do this, Eric. Let's take a quick break. A Reno, huh? Oh, a little early break. Okay. Yeah. And then we'll come back and tackle fantasy land and Walt Disney world. What do you think? Let's do it. All right. Hang on everyone. It's ears up. We'll be right back hearing from Eric talking about the thing. I kind of just said, I don't know why I have to say it again, but you should really pay attention. We'll be right back.

[00:18:28] And now back to the show that ignites your dream wish of imaginations and magical color wonderment of forever. Ears up. Thanks for sticking around everybody. I really appreciate it. I mean, what else are you going to do? You know what I mean? The show's already playing in your ear. That's true. It'd be kind of rude if you turn it off now, you know what I mean? Oh, wow. I always imagine when we, when you come back with that one, that, uh, I, I wish I could

[00:18:57] have like a lot of glitter. I mean, you can, you, you're an adult. I should, I should get some glitter and just, you know. And just throw it in your own house. Throw it in my own house and then have to clean it up myself. Yeah. I'm sure Brandy will love that. Oh, no. Come to bed with glitter in your hair. Where have you been? I thought you were recording, Eric. I was. I just also went down downtown Denver and went to, uh, you know, whatever the strip club is there.

[00:19:27] They have strip clubs in Denver? I don't know. No, I guess I'm confusing that with Portland. Oh, okay. Portland has nothing but. Oh, there are. There are. Yeah. I used to drive. It's a liberal city, of course. Oh, yeah. Me too. Yeah. Just right past him. Didn't even stop. Never been hit. Oh, my goodness. Let's talk. Speaking of fantasy land, let's talk about fantasy land, man. Hey, let's talk about fantasy land.

[00:19:55] Do you, let's, let me just set the level here. Do we want to talk about the, the Cinderella castle gateway or is that a, is that a separate? I think that's probably a separate episode. I don't know. I don't even know what you mean. So. I mean, how about that? Walking through Cinderella castle into fantasy land. Fantasy land.

[00:20:21] Would you consider sleeping beauty castle part of fantasy land or is that part of the hub? No, I think it's part of fantasy land. I think the hub, here's what I, the hub I think of as the center. So I can't remember Disney world too well, but I can remember Disneyland obviously. So for me, the hub is the statue and the little, you know, area in there with benches. Okay. And then the street around it and then the sidewalk and then the lands reach out to the hub.

[00:20:50] So you know what I mean? Like, uh, you know, like that. So the castle in, in both lands, both parks is part of fantasy land in my mind. Okay. I, I, I agree. I do have some notes on it so I can, I can burn through that pretty quick. That's my, my top here. Nice. Uh, so fantasy land, obviously, uh, part of Walt Disney world since opening day.

[00:21:18] Um, but, uh, but yeah, it's, it's, it's changed quite a bit over the years. So let's start out with, uh, the, the castle. So it, it is the front door to fantasy land is the way I look at it. Uh, the building itself, uh, imagineers built it exactly 189 feet tall.

[00:21:41] That is one foot short of the 190 foot threshold that would have required a flashing red aircraft beacon on top. Nice. Uh, yeah. So they, they designed it to avoid aviation regulation because who wants to see a flashing red light on top of the castle? Not me. Say that. Um, the mosaics inside the archway. I think we've probably got a lot more to talk about the castle.

[00:22:09] I know we, we have, um, um, uh, the Supreme resort, but, uh, if you walk through the castle, you, you don't necessarily notice the mosaic murals. Um, it's the story of Cinderella. Uh, it took 22 months to complete this design. It contains over 300,000 pieces of Italian glass in more than 500 colors.

[00:22:39] Uh, some tiles are sterling silver. Some tiles are for 14 carat gold. The entire thing was designed by Hans Scharf, who was a, uh, Nazi interrogator in World War II. That's right. It's funny you bring this up because I've been researching this for pyramid, pyramid out of the ears. So I'm very familiar with Mr. Scharf. Yes, absolutely. He and his daughter built this mosaic together.

[00:23:07] So I'm glad you know all about Mr. Scharf. Um, it's just one of those weird things. Yeah. Um, well, and, and he, so he was, are you done with talking about Hans? Yeah. Cause I do want to prep that preface, but I think he deserves this tiny caveat. He was considered the master interrogator, uh, in, uh, of the Nazis because he didn't use, uh, physical violence. Ah.

[00:23:37] He was actually really, you know, uh, kind, I guess if you could be kind and also be a Nazi, um, where he would, he would just basically be friends with the, the downed, uh, he, he mainly interrogated, uh, downed pilots. Right. Oh, okay. Okay. And he would just, he would watch other interrogators work.

[00:23:59] And what he realized, which is no shock to anybody that being nice gets you more information than threats or, or just straight up violence. And so they had like, they had a bunch of files. What you see in movies is kind of true. They have a bunch of files on a lot of these pilots. So they would get down, he would read up on whoever he has in the interrogation room. And then he would go in and he would ask questions that he already knew the answer to. And he knew that the pilot wouldn't say anything.

[00:24:27] So he would go, look, we already know that your wife is whatever. I don't know what it was. Right. Something like that. So he might as well just tell us what we need to know. So it was like mind games like that, but he would also like take them on walks through the forest. He would, he would let them visit their, their, their, uh, their friends in the hospitals. Right. When that was like the other allies were recovering, he would let them go visit. He would bring baked goods from his wife to like share with them.

[00:24:56] And he, and he wrote about extensively. He's like, you just would find out that these people would inadvertently give you information and they don't even know that they're doing it. There was a famous thing where he was like, yeah, um, you know, I said, you know, look, we know that sometimes your tracer bullets, um, instead of green are white. And we know that you guys are, are running out of the chemicals you're doing so poorly in the war that you're running out of chemicals. And the pilot's like, you idiot.

[00:25:25] No, it's that's to let the gunners know that they're running out of bullets. And he's like, oh, okay. Oh, okay. Just information, man, whatever. And, uh, he, he like, yeah. Anyway, he befriended a bunch of people and like, he, he came to the States, he immigrated. Uh, and then he was, I don't know why I'm telling you this. This is so stupid, but whatever. No, this is, this is interesting. This is stuff. I don't know. Yeah. Well, I mean, yeah, it's not really related to fancy, but whatever, I'll finish it. I'm almost done.

[00:25:53] He like, he like briefed the, the government on how to, on his interrogation methods. And to the point where they're actually still being talked about and studied, like even in the Obama administration, they were, they were working on the Scharf method of interrogation, which is just befriend. And, uh, you know, whatever. And it, it, it works infinitely better than, I don't know. Let's just say waterboarding, for example. Yeah.

[00:26:20] Anyway, interesting stuff, you know, and I think he'd like, you can chalk him up to one of those like bad guy. I don't know. I mean, he was in the Nazi party, but a lot of times he had to be. Um, and then afterwards he, he, you know, found his love of art again and became a master, um, mosaic artist. And apparently he is, uh, regarded in the art world as bringing the mosaic tabletop design of tabletops to the States.

[00:26:51] Huh? Yeah. Like he went to study in Italy or whatever, and they did all that crap in Italy, but then no one ever did it in here. So he brought it over to New York and he started doing them in the sixties and people like, this is a brand new thing. Like it blew everyone's mind. And he's like, I guess. So there you go. Next time you see a mosaic tabletop, you think of Horn Scharf. Sorry. Go ahead. Please. He also did the land pavilion mosaic. Sorry. Yes, he did. Yeah. I'm done. I'm done.

[00:27:15] And there's the whole story about how both sides of that are supposed to be the same, but then he installed, he put in a, uh, a green one, a green one. I saw. Okay. So I, okay. See, I thought I said I was done. Go ahead. No, you go ahead. You know the story. No, you do it. Okay.

[00:27:38] It seems like it basically they, uh, so retro, uh, retro WDW contacted his daughter and she's like, oh no, that wasn't on purpose. Yeah. Um, yeah. Cause the, the, the thing was like, oh, it's, it's the artist's birthday or their son or whatever. And it's his daughter law. Yeah. And apparently he was like, we were like, I don't know if you just, it didn't know that we didn't do that on purpose. Are you kidding me? That's weird. Right. Yeah.

[00:28:07] And she's like, no, he intended to do the same thing on both sides, but, uh, screwed up one, um, one of the tiles. All right. Anyway, fantasy land. There we go. Great. Great. Those are rad, dude. They are amazing. They are incredible. I remember looking at them as a kid and going, wow, this is just like, oh, this is, this is art, you know? Um, anyway. Uh,

[00:28:35] Opening day, 1971. Uh, what could have been there? Well, uh, the, uh, the carousel, uh, King Arthur's carousel could have been eight inches to the wrong side. Okay. But Roy Disney looked at it and said, this is wrong. This is out of whack.

[00:29:05] And he ordered, uh, the construction folks to move. Uh, sorry, Prince, sorry. Uh, Prince Charming regals carousel is, is Walt Disney. There you go. Uh, to move it eight inches to the right. So that it would be symmetrical. You think that Roy, I mean, I guess, yeah, I don't know.

[00:29:35] I always think of Roy as the purse strings guy. So you would think like eight, you know, what's eight inches between friends, right? Like who cares? But, but it costs a lot of money. Yeah. When, when making Walt Disney world, Roy, this was Roy's labor of love for his brother. Oh, that's true. Yeah. And this was his chance to do what his brother did. And so this was one of those things where he just went, nope, this is wrong. You put it in the wrong spot. Yeah, absolutely dude. Yeah.

[00:30:03] Pick up the whole thing and move it. Yeah, dude. Oh my goodness. Uh, so what could have been, they talked about different rides based on Mary Poppins, uh, sleeping beauty, the sword in the stone legend of sleepy hollow. And Roy, uh, really decided was the one that decided, no, let's go with Walt's original Disneyland ride.

[00:30:31] So that's why so much of the original land was based on what they have at Disneyland. Oh, you've got, you've got, uh, Peter Pan, Snow White, uh, Mr. Toad rather than a completely new lineup. That's a shame. I feel like Walt would have done something different. I think so as well. Yes. Yeah. Um, but you know what?

[00:30:59] Roy wasn't the creative guy. This entire park was a dedication to his past brother. Yeah. Uh, so, uh, as usual in the original versions, guests were meant to be the, uh, main character. So you were Snow White, you're a Peter Pan, all that stuff.

[00:31:24] Uh, so they basically just recreated what was going on at Disneyland at the time, um, in Fantasyland. So once, uh, so they, they installed, it's a small world. It's indoors completely. I did like that. That was nice. Uh, yeah. I mean, it, it's kind of cool. I, I, I, the first time I went on it at Disneyland, I'm like, oh, wow. A chunk of this is outdoors.

[00:31:52] This is kind of fun. Hmm. And I liked that, but it's a Walt Disney world where they, they made as much as they could indoors because they knew that every day it would rain for 10 minutes. Yeah. Yeah. That's kind of a mood killer. Yeah. I found interesting in the, in the, um, the queue for, for a small world is that people are throwing money in the water.

[00:32:21] That's weird. Like a bunch of change. It's not a wishing well. I know. It's just like everywhere. Yeah. This is crazy, dude. This is weird. Yeah. Now what's interesting, um, is that there is a restaurant that looks over. It's a small world. Um, it's, uh, Pinocchio's village house. That, uh, currently serves a flatbread pizza.

[00:32:52] Very German dude. I love that. Which makes a whole lot of sense. Yeah. Absolutely. Dude. Yeah. It's not bad. They have gluten free options and everything, but, but yeah, there's a portion of the restaurant that looks directly over where the boats launch. That's nice. Yeah. That's fun. That's pleasant. Yeah. I don't think we ate there. I mean, I know we didn't eat there. Let's see.

[00:33:15] So there's also Peter Pan's flight, just like Disneyland, except a massively longer queue. Yeah. Well, they learned, you know? Yeah. The, the queue is, uh, the queue was expanded and it has a whole bunch of different scenes in it. You can look at, there's a particular portion that's great in the darling's, uh, bedroom

[00:33:43] where you can see artifacts from, from the movie, from their lives. And you can see Tinkerbell moving around between areas as a projection. Okay. Yeah. And you can kind of interact with it as well. It's, it's a very fun queue. Uh, and it, it does, you know, it, the, the, the main thing that I hate about the Peter

[00:34:11] Pan queue in Disneyland is it's just a bunch of chain, chain, you know? Yeah. Chain switchbacks. Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Yeah. You're the, you're right there, man. You're shoulder to shoulder with everybody. Right. And this gives you something else to look at. It's the same sort of thing where it's like, this is a very long queue for just a regular dark ride. Yeah. Well, you know what?

[00:34:40] And speaking of the Cuban Disneyland, I don't want, I wouldn't want them to change it because there is something, I don't know, ancient or old or, um, I don't know, authentic maybe. Yeah. Yeah. About just the chain and the, the brass bars or whatever. Same thing with like snow white, you know, they have like the wood and, but the wood is so worn down. The soft part of the woods is eaten away over time. I don't want them to replace that. I want it. I just, I don't know.

[00:35:09] It's like it, I wouldn't want it any other way because that's maybe how I'm used to it, but it just, it, it speaks to more of like the old part of the, you know, of the park, even though it was done in the eighties again or whatever, but still, you know what I mean? Just that, that, that, that vibe. I, yeah. Yeah. It, I mean, old fantasy land at Disneyland, it, it, you can feel it.

[00:35:33] Um, speaking of which the, the, the main theme in Walt Disney world is still basically some sort of like medieval fair. Mm-hmm. Okay. There are a lot of, a lot of the, the facades are, are not elaborate like they are in Disneyland. Um, even after new Disneyland came out, a lot of the original rides still have this basically

[00:36:01] like tent sort of look to them. Yes. Yeah. It looks like the county fair is going to pull out in two days. So we better start riding the Gravitron now. The Gravitron. Uh, but yeah, you know, one of the original rides there was Mr. Toad's wild ride. My favorite ride of probably all time. Um, I've spoken about this on multiple episodes.

[00:36:31] Of every show. Of every show, every show that I do. We did a whole, a whole episode about it a couple of years ago on, uh, the Supreme resort. It was, so this one was designed by Roley Crump. Um, and Roley decided I want to do something different. So he made, they said, it's such a popular ride at Disneyland. We need two of them at Walt Disney world.

[00:37:00] And he decided to create two completely different rides. Um, so you could go on either side and experience a completely different ride. That's crazy. I don't think we went on that when we went. I think back then it was definitely like, we've done all of these things we want. You know, we only have limited time in Disney world. So let's do stuff that we don't know anything about. Yeah.

[00:37:28] Turns out we didn't know anything about the stuff we thought we knew about. Yeah. You know what I mean? I mean, it was great. I remember, I remember going on the ride with my sisters and we'd finish one side and then run to the other side. Nice. And, and, and try to go that way. They both ended the same way in hell. Sure. Of course. Yeah. I mean, you know, look, dude, any way you shake it, that's where you end up. So you might as well just, you know, run around now. Right.

[00:37:57] But when the best part was there was this, this portion in the middle where you were in this town square and there was a fountain. And if the ride operators were doing their jobs, right, your two cars would almost hit each other. It was so much fun. That's cool, dude. That's awesome. And then they'd continue off on their own separate trips through, through the ride. It was so much fun.

[00:38:24] Um, yeah, it, uh, it has since been replaced. It is now, uh, a, it is now, uh, Winnie the Pooh. Basically the same ride that you have at Disneyland and a Winnie the Pooh gift shop. That's true. Wait a minute. Okay. Okay. Because they got rid of, they got rid of, when did they get rid of Toad? The Toad wasn't there when we went. Ninety. Fifteen. Nineties. Yeah. Okay. And then that's why we didn't go. Yeah. Okay.

[00:38:53] I didn't want to call you out on it, but please do. I mean, that's, you know, but yeah, I just, I forgot about that. I forgot about that whole campaign and the whole thing, dude. Yeah. Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. There was a whole thing. Save, save Mr. Toad. Um, this, yeah, there's, there's so much story behind that, but, but yeah, now it's, uh, now it's Winnie the Pooh and that's, that's fine. Okay. Yeah. Yeah. It exists. Yeah. Why not?

[00:39:20] We also have PhilharMagic, the original version, um, similar to what they have at, at, uh, at Disneyland at DCA actually, but it's a little more elaborate. It's a bigger theater. There are more effects going on in it. It's still a pretty fun show. Have you been to PhilharMagic? No, never.

[00:39:44] It's, it's old school 3d and, and CGI, but it's a fun show. It's, it's really good. And at the end, um, Donald, you get to turn around and see Donald's butt sticking out of a wall. Classic. Love that. Yeah. Okay. Yeah. Fun times. Uh, let's see. Of course there's the mad tea party.

[00:40:09] This one is, um, covered was the first covered version because they said it rains every day in Walt Disney world. So let's put the teacups under a cover and the, the cups are a little bigger. Well, sure. I mean, it's still Florida, you know? Yeah. Cause I remember cause it's Florida. I remember going as my entire family in, in like, we've got pictures of us sitting in

[00:40:38] an entire cup. Um, and that does not happen at, at Disneyland where you can fit like three people. Yeah, absolutely dude. Things that have, that have changed over time. Yeah. Like it's a small world is still there. Winnie the Pooh has come in. Mad tea party is pretty much the same. Carousel is the same.

[00:41:04] PhilharMagic is the same, but we have expanded into the enchanted forest. Ooh, sounds scary. This is part of new Fante as we call it on, um, the Supreme resort. Okay. I don't like that. Go ahead. No. Okay. Well, I don't care. Uh, and imagine you created.

[00:41:28] I created a, uh, a story for new fantasy land. That is weird. Okay. And I will, I will now read it to the official story from engineering. This isn't even distilled through Eric's brain. This is, this is direct from imagineering. Yes. This is, this is verbatim. Let's hear it.

[00:41:54] Once upon a time, we had a need for stories and there was a wonderful land where these tales actually took place. But slowly our dreams of childhood went from wishing on a star to wishing we would grow up. And so we did. That's dire. Yeah. Yeah. Seizing their chance, evil villains cursed the land by taking a symbol from each of the stories of our world.

[00:42:24] They stole a feather that helped an elephant believe in himself. A rose that taught a beast he could be loved. Antlers that hung on a wall symbolizing the importance of humility. See, that doesn't seem right. And a trident that game, that gave a young mermaid new dreams to stand on. With these symbols gone, the villains shrouded our memories and imagination. Yet this land does exist.

[00:42:52] It's been there all along, waiting for you to believe again. So that tales as old as time can be told once more. Or find your way through the lands and perhaps you can help break the curse of new fantasy land. That's a stretch, man. I know. That is a lot. And they created, they created a, this is 2012.

[00:43:20] They created a, I'm sure it was on go.com, but findingfantasylands.com. Okay. To explain this story. Findingfantasyland.com. Yes. All right. So, yeah, the idea was, hey, we're, we're expanding fantasy land.

[00:43:46] I don't, I mean, I don't hate the idea of giving a little bit of lore or a little bit of zhuzh to, to the different lands. And, you know, having their own little website and with a little history and a little game on there, like a little scavenger hunting or something like that. I don't mind that. This seems weak. Like it took a symbol of every story, which is like five stories.

[00:44:12] And then now nobody believes because we grew up, but also come back and find the things. So you can believe in the thing. Yeah. It just doesn't make any sense. Yeah. It makes zero sense. But, you know, far be it from me to. No. Yeah. No, I, I, I agree. Well, let's talk about that area there. Uh, we've got seven dwarfs, mine train. Great ride. And we got to ride that ride. It's okay. That was great. I love it.

[00:44:42] I liked it. I think it's cool. I've, I've grown to like it a little bit more. It, now that the lines aren't quite as crazy. Yeah. It opened May 28th, 2014. Uh, this was the centerpiece of the entire expansion swinging mine car roller coaster. It's a great family, like young, young person roller coaster. The first time I wrote it, I'm like, why did I wait in line for this? Well, yeah.

[00:45:11] I mean, that's the thing. Nothing is ever worth waiting over 45 minutes for in any of the Disney parks. Just not. And so I forget we had to be fast pass. And even then we're like, okay, this is our light and whatever it was called. I don't remember any one fast bet. Yeah. And I just, I remember being blown away by, by the, the, uh, vibrance of the colors and the way that they did the lighting and like the, the, the dwarfs had, you know, the projected eyes and they would, they would a little more interactive.

[00:45:41] And I really, I really, I thought it was great, man. It is kind of fun to have two chunks of a roller coaster with a dark ride in the middle, which is basically what it is. As you go through the mine and they're singing hi ho and everything. That was pretty fun. And they did include the, uh, the animatronics from the original snow white, scary adventures

[00:46:11] at the end of the ride. Oh, nice. So those are seventies animatronics in, in the, the cottage at the end under the sea journey of the little mermaid. Anyone who's been to DCA and has wondered what's in that weird building, um, has been on this. It's, uh, there's a better queue at Walt Disney world. Yeah. There is no, the queue is just switchbacks and DCA man. Yeah.

[00:46:39] It's like two, but there's, they have shells in the cement. So that's cute. Oh, there you go. Yeah. At Walt Disney world. It was a better queue when there were people that were in the queue because there's a little like game that you can play with scuttle where you like sort out trash and treasure in the line. It's like a whole projection thing. Um, but no one's ever in that line anymore. So whatever. Ah, that's too bad. That's the worst.

[00:47:08] Taryn's here. Everybody look at that. Hey Taryn, what's going on? Hi. How's it going? Welcome back. Thanks. It's great. This was your idea. This show, this show was my idea. And, uh, I really don't appreciate you joining an hour late. So we might have to put you on a writeup or something. You wanted to have a kid. No, no, no, no, no, no. I'm just kidding. But, but, but you also did. Anyway. All right. So sorry to interrupt you, Eric. Go ahead and continue on. No, it's okay. It's okay.

[00:47:35] So under the sea journey of the little mermaid, the, the queue is very interactive. It's got a lot of fake rocks that are awesome. Um, it's got this little game that you can play on the way, but you don't get to do that a whole lot anymore because there's never anybody in the line. So you just kind of walk through and get on the same ride that you have at TCA. That is too bad because even on a DCA, when we were there, it was a 10, 15 minute wait. Like you definitely could have done something like that.

[00:48:05] And I don't know what that's about. I don't know why there was suddenly so many people there. Cause it usually is a walk on. Well, it must've been a busy day at DCA. Yeah. Uh, but yeah, you know, it's, it's an okay ride. I don't, I don't mind it. Get her, get her, get her, get her, get her. Hold on. Hold on. Ow. Ow. Cat escaped. Hang on. Oh my God. This, this house is like a nightmare. Thank you so much.

[00:48:35] Hey, you wanted to have cats. I've never had cats like these. I've never had. Well, your camera's knocked down. Oh God. Madness. Madness. Oh God, dude. Yeah. These cats are going to make me hate cats, dude. I swear to God. Fish are so much better. No animals. Between peeing on the couch and getting out.

[00:49:02] And we can't have any windows open because Dottie will claw her way out. And then Pickles just pisses everywhere she wants. I hate it. Yeah. It's really stupid. Actually. Anyway, go ahead, please. Okay. Yeah. Let's go to Storybook Circus. Do you want to hear the story of Storybook Circus? You tell me. Do I? Because when I was there, I didn't like it. I thought it was weird. And so, yes. Okay.

[00:49:30] Well, the official. Karen wants to hear things she doesn't like. Yeah. I want to understand. Oh, yeah. Okay. Well, the official Imagineering press release on Disney Parks blog. Storybook Circus will be based on our animated film Dumbo. Here, Casey Jr., the famous locomotive from the movie, has rolled into town and brought the grand storybook circus with him.

[00:49:57] The area will be filled with colorful circus tents and nods to the famous film. For example, guests, especially the little ones, are welcome to cool down with Casey Jr., who can be found near the train station getting splashed by playful circus animals. Just past Casey Jr., guests will encounter big top circus tents that lead to a double version of Dumbo the Flying Elephant.

[00:50:26] Also in the tradition of classic air shows, Barnstormer will take on a new-looking theme becoming a spiraling stunt plane built by the great Goofini. So, yes.

[00:51:09] Applebee's buzzer. That will tell you when it's time to go on the ride. That's neat. I guess it's like a proto or pre-Lightning Lane, you know, pre-Fast Pass. Yeah, kind of. But yeah, there's like a little playground that you can enjoy while you're waiting in line. It's kind of fun.

[00:51:31] Uh, the Barnstormer featuring the great Goofini, which is basically Gadgets Go coaster, but slightly longer. Okay. Um, it's, it's just a starter coaster for kids. And if you don't have to wait in line for terribly long, it's an awful lot of fun. Yeah. Especially if you've got little kids. The great Goofini.

[00:52:00] The great Goofini. Cute. Yeah. It's not like, oh, what's the one in DCA? Goofy Sky School. Sky School. There we go. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. It's not like Goofy Sky School where it's a wild mouse coaster. Wild mouse. Oh my goodness. You said it. Wild mouse coaster. Yeah, you got it. That's, that's like a little intense.

[00:52:22] It's just that like early small coaster that no adult can fit into the car properly and your kids will like it. Okay. And they'll feel awesome because they went on a roller coaster. Um, same sort of thing. Uh, there is also Casey Jr.'s splash and soak station, which is a little water play area.

[00:52:48] So Casey Jr. is not a, is not the same thing at, as it is at Disneyland. It's just a model of Casey Jr. and it sprays water. Okay. At you. And you can run around in water because it's Florida. Kids love that. I get that. Yeah. A little splash pad or whatever. Yeah. A little splash pad. And it's right next to a really nice bathroom. It sounds better and better, man. I don't know.

[00:53:18] You're really selling it. It almost seems like it's like in, in a weird, bizarro way, the Toontown version in Walt Disney World. It's like, it's like Walt Disney World's version of Toontown. Yeah, for sure. It was originally, um, a, basically a Toontown. It was originally Mickey's, um, oh, what was the name?

[00:53:43] An area that they built for, for Mickey for his birthday in the nineties. So what I find interesting about it being a circus is that like, that was the opposite of what Walt was going for. Well. He didn't want carnival. Yeah. Yeah. Aren't those the same thing? Eh. The only carnival portion is probably like the, the character meet and greet that's in a big circus tent.

[00:54:10] Um, but yeah, that's, that's where you can meet, uh, goofy Donald Minnie and, and Daisy. They've got circus costumes. There's a big gift shop that's in a circus tent. There are no really like circus games. Yeah. The barnstormer is kind of an off the shelf roller coaster. Hmm.

[00:54:31] And Dumbo has become a kind of off the shelf sort of thing, but, but yeah, it's not, it's not really a Walt, you know, hating carnies. Okay. It's a little bit different. So it's a Disney version of a, of a carnival walkway or something. Right. Right. Midway. I think it's, I mean, when we went there, we didn't have any kids.

[00:54:57] So I think we just didn't really like, I remember looking over there and going like, nah, no, thanks. Well, yeah, I was telling Eric at the beginning, like we, we went with the, the, with the mindset of doing stuff that we don't have in Disneyland. Because we were too dumb to figure out like, Hey, maybe it's different. But like, we don't have this. So why didn't we check it out? I think, I think we looked at it and then Dumbo and I was like, I don't get it. Let's just do something else. Yeah. Like it wasn't inviting.

[00:55:28] At least not for us. I mean, for childless adults, you know? Yeah. I can, I can totally see like if, if we went back today, that splash pad would be everything. Probably. We can't go back today. By the time we get there, it'll be closed. Well, that's, it's already closed. I'm sure. That's true. Yeah. It is very colorful. It's, it's pretty fun. Kids seem to like it. Um, yeah, it's cool back there. Uh, Brian Sorrow in the chat is reminding me that it is Mickey's birthday land.

[00:55:59] Nice. Was when it was opened. So it's this extra chunk that opened up back there. And the other, so basically Storybrooke Circus is this one chunk of. New fantasy land that opened up. Um, and then on the other side is the other new fantasy land. That is the enchanted forest that has seven dwarfs mine train.

[00:56:25] Um, now if you want to eat in, in the area, uh, you can go to the fryer's nook. Okay. Okay. Which is a place in the kind of medieval portion of the area and you can get fries. Hmm. Just fries. Yeah. You can get some other stuff. I'm sure. Okay. Yeah. The fryer's nook and their fries. I get it. Right.

[00:56:54] I mentioned Pinocchio's village, village house. Yeah. Which is, which overlooks, uh, it's a small world where you can get flatbread pizzas. Yeah. You can go to Gaston's Tavern, which is a quick service. Uh, the signature drink there is LeFou's brew, which is a frozen apple cider with mango foam

[00:57:23] on top. Apple cider with mango. I mean, it sounds good, but can we, can we just get over foams? Please. It's supposed to look like beer, right? It's supposed to look like beer. Yeah. But I mean, okay. I guess I see this would be an appropriate place for a foam, but I am so frigging sick of everything. Having a frigging foam on it. Like it's 2008 and we're at a gastropub. I mean, this has been going on for a while. So I don't like it.

[00:57:53] I'm done with it. I'm done with the foam. Some of the foam. Uh, well, regardless, it's delicious. It sounds good. Don't, uh, don't malign LeFou's brew. Fantastic. All right. I love it. Um, and then there's Be Our Guest. Okay. Yeah. The restaurant in the Beast's Castle. Yeah. We tried to go there. We couldn't get a resi.

[00:58:23] Yeah. It, it, it's sometimes, sometimes easy to get in, sometimes not. And it has changed over time. Um, now it is one of the locations in Walt Disney world or in the magic kingdom where you can get wine and beer. Hmm. Uh, it was one of the first in a castle. I think it was the first in a castle park to offer wine and beer. Oh, nice. It has changed a little bit over time.

[00:58:53] It's maybe gone down in some quality, but, uh, but yeah, the, the, the decor is fantastic because you can be in the, uh, West, the West wing where, um, there's, it's darker, there's thunder and lightning and you can see the beasts, uh, rows.

[00:59:16] You can be in the ballroom where it's the ballroom and you can be in another room where there's a big statue of the beast and bell. And it's a very large restaurant. And I've had some very good breakfasts there. Nice. I'm just saying.

[00:59:39] Uh, but yeah, it's, it's basically, it went from like a sit down to kind of a quick service ish location. Uh, but it's, it's one of the few places in Walt Disney world where you can actually get decent food. Okay. In the magic kingdom, I should say the magic kingdom is not known for its food.

[01:00:05] No, I'm actually like looking at the map and just like every restaurant I'm like hovering over. I'm like, Ooh, no. Yeah. No, that was one. That was one of our big takeaways from that trip is that I don't recall having a delicious meal in Disney world anywhere. Well, I mean, maybe an Epcot. Good Italian. Yeah. Yeah. Aside from aside from Epcot. Yeah. There was nothing good. You know, I remember that one place. That's not plenty of great food.

[01:00:32] There was that one joint by, by pirates that was literally a build your own burrito. Yeah. It was like so terrible. It was awful. I never, I had no idea. Cause I, I've lived and grown up in California my whole life. I had no idea how bad Mexican food could be. I did not know. I had no idea. That was like white people. Yeah. It's not the best. Oh, it was awful. No, it was, I was like just a blank tortilla with some rice next to it. Like, what is this?

[01:01:01] What am I paying $18 for? This is insane. They're like, you think it's Chipotle? This reminds me of Chipotle. It's sweating. I'm sweating. I'm sweating. Rose. It's just not good. No, it's gross. Anyway. Oh gosh. So that's, that's kind of a fantasy land at this point. It's, it's enormous. It is. And, and I was thinking about like, why did I just dislike it? I just did not like it when we were there.

[01:01:31] And I think it's, I think a big part of it was that the castle was closed. We could not go through. Castle was closed. They were doing a castle show. No, they were, they were redoing the walkway. I think they were like, yeah, the whole thing was like structure in the, in the beginning. Yeah. Oh, okay. So you could only see the very top of the castle. And so because of that, we couldn't go in, I think the main way. And so we had to go in.

[01:01:56] We saw it after walking past like, like Haunted Mansion or like not past, but around the side, around the side of Haunted Mansion. And so like the first thing you see is like Peter Pan and like, and it's like indoor. And you're like, that's so weird. I do think a lot of it was kind of a culture shock between the two lands. Yes. Because we're so used to fantasy land here where it's just very small and, you know, cozy.

[01:02:23] And, you know, these days it's, it's, it's way too small. This crowd, I would love a bigger fantasy land because of the, just the way the crowds are at these days. But, you know, back in the day, it was a lot nicer to be a fantasy land. Yeah. Um, because it wasn't so big. And it sounds like the Disney world was big because it was anticipating a lot of crowds that, that Eric, did they just not show up?

[01:02:50] Like, why is fantasy land so big and so much, so much space? And it sounds like some of the queues are, are expecting or anticipating a lot more people than, than they get today, which I don't really find with too many rides in Disneyland. You know, I think, uh, really, I mean, the big rides there do get, do get the lines. I mean, seven dwarfs, mine train is almost always two hours.

[01:03:20] Oh, wow. Yeah. See, it's a good ride. It's not a two hour ride. Yeah. Uh, it's, you know, I, I, I agree. I don't, I don't think it's a two hour wait ride, but, um, there's. Mine train is technically in fantasy land. Yeah. Like where? That's, so if you, if you pass all of the traditional fantasy land stuff. Yeah.

[01:03:49] If you're heading through the castle, it's on your right. Okay. And it's before you get to tomorrow land. Before tomorrow land. Got it. Got it. Okay. Weird. Yeah. It's, I mean, it, it's, it's a constant. A constant way. It's like Peter Pan in Disneyland.

[01:04:13] Peter Pan still has significant, still commands significant weights, but you've got a more engaging queue that's indoors. So maybe you don't notice that it's quite so long away. I do think that is a big part of it. And I think you can see that in, in the newer rides, like smugglers run and stuff where there's a longer queue and it's a little more, well, I mean, hell, even space mountain has a more

[01:04:42] engaging queue and it's just a lot of plastic corridor. Yeah. At least you feel like you're in a spaceport or something. Right. You're walking through a place and there's stuff to look at and it's dark. Like, um, the, let me tell you the evolution of, of ride queues, just looking at Disneyland, it's sort of like, uh, you know, seeing layers of rock, you know, demonstrating the, the different like millions of years, like down, down, down the earth. Right. Where it's like at the very bottom of the bedrock, you have Peter Pan where you just, you know,

[01:05:11] it's the, the, we were talking about like the chain and brass rail queue switchback. And then at the very tippy top, you have smugglers run whenever you're in the millennium falling, like all this kind of, it's just, it's very interesting. The evolution of all that. Yeah. You know, and you can kind of see a mix of that in Disney world. It sounds like too. And fantasy land is sort of maybe even like a Petri dish of all of those things. Cause you have some of the older queue rides or older style queues, but you know, but at

[01:05:39] least they're indoors or then you have these little buzzers like you're talking about or whatever. There's a lot of different ways to kind of wait for a line in Disney world, which is interesting to me. All right. Well, very good, Eric. Thank you for the rundown, my friend. Well, I'm sorry that Taryn will have to listen back to this episode to hear all the stuff that she asked about. You know what? Honestly, me too. That's all right. I can listen to things.
