It's that time of year again! Because we can't say March Madness because we will get sued...wait....'
Anyway, it is the time of year where we create the brackets and decide the best thing in all the 4 parks or some variation of that theme.
This year, what is the best single rider line in the domestic parks? The intent of this episode was to break down all the single rider lines and get to a top 16 so we could debate for the final episode in March with a special guest host from DL Weekly Podcast, Tage. However, upon further investigation, Disney did it for us because while there are officially 9 at Disneyland, there are only 4 at Walt Disney word.
So, while we also discuss other items I.e. price of the parks, general hot takes etc, we land on the elite 8 and determine the brackets for this year's challenge.
I swear we are not becoming haters on the parks, Jimmy just posed the "is it too expensive" question and like the rest of the arguments of this show, it just depends.

[00:00:00] Welcome to the Supreme Resort, Land v World, a podcast about Disneyland and Walt Disney World,
[00:00:22] and which is the Supreme Resort. Each's been real positive. Hey, Jimmy, who's the other person? What's that? Who's the other person? You haven't introduced all of us yet. Oh, I said Eric. Yeah, you said me. Yeah, I said Eric. That's when he was the last shirt talking. You were trying to introduce, like, I was going to say, Asher? No, Ash's away. Inside the magic.
[00:01:40] Phil McCracken.
[00:01:44] Yeah, Ash's away.
[00:01:45] He's traveling the world with his new Uncle Jeremy. points, we bought our DVC before we had children. We are such big fans of Disney World, traveling there, etc. We would go, you know, back in the day, quote unquote, when things were, you know, quote unquote, cheap. We bought our vacation club knowing that that's just where we're gonna vacation. And the cool thing about these points, we can use them anywhere, blah, blah, blah. We've only ever used them at
[00:03:01] Disney World or Disneyland occasionally. done many, many times.
[00:04:24] But that's just tickets.
[00:04:25] That's just tickets.
[00:04:26] But you've got your points. dollars for the entire year, not 3000 for four days. We could spend $4,000 go for the whole year. That's not each. That's total. Total. All in, four grand for the whole year. $1,000 a ticket for the annual pass. Very few blackout days and we have, quote unquote, free hotel.
[00:05:44] Why would we spend $4,000 when we've been to Disney World before? We've done it punching numbers in his brain hole. Or maybe that back zipper's just come back down. Listen to that after hours. No, no. Um, I'll let you answer before I encounter her. I mean, speaking as also a childless person who does have another person that I prefer to travel with, my wife, not these two dogs that are fighting around my legs because why wouldn't they?
[00:08:24] I was going to say you have twoboat Willie. That's right. As well as sing Happy Birthday to people. That's right. No, I don't think Happy Birthday works. Happy Birthday, Steam...
[00:09:41] What was it?
[00:09:42] Steamboat Willie.
[00:09:43] Steamboat Willie.
[00:09:44] Oh!
[00:09:45] Oh, so...
[00:09:47] Nobody come at me, bro. We're going skiing for two days and one day we're going on a snowmobile trip through Yellowstone. So cool. And the Lyft tickets for two days are about $400 each. Yeah. Right? So more than a Disney trip for a park day.
[00:11:01] You know what?
[00:11:02] I got to take care of these dogs.
[00:11:03] Get them out of here.
[00:11:04] All right.
[00:11:05] Well, he takes's during the daytime. You can't ski at night in most places. So the argument is, well, we've spent all this money on these monthly fees and blah, blah, blah. I spent all this money. I was like, yeah. So why wouldn't we take advantage of that and use the money we've already spent, right? Yes, we've done it before. And would you go see the same Broadway show
[00:12:21] over and over again?
[00:12:22] Would you go ski the same ski resort over and over again?
[00:12:24] I get the point.
[00:12:27] I don't know.
[00:12:28] It's interesting. not focus on the parks as much and just use it as a resort. And then like, oh, we also did Tron because we haven't seen it. Yeah. What's the other thing that's supposed to open this up? Tiana's is supposed to open this summer, which could be any day between now and. I'm still currently tied to a trash can by Splash Mountain, which is what I'm going to call it forever.
[00:13:40] Uh,
[00:13:44] I have, I have friends that have,
[00:13:46] that have bought into DVC where last year, difficult. It's like, hey, okay, we got two days and the rest of time it's just resort. Yeah. Yeah. It's an interesting counter offer. So my point is either A, we go all in, we spend the four grand, we get annual passes, we use our points that are going to expire and we use our points from next year.'s less now and it will be in five years Well, and maybe there's no interest in treating it just like a resort Yeah, because You know, you're both from from California and and she's definitely more of a Disneyland person at heart. I think yes
[00:16:23] I'm sure she loves Disney World by me like in terms of like I could do. Pick one day where you go to a park. Yeah. And maybe we just go to Magic Kingdom, do Tron. But couldn't you also, and again, I'm just trying to present the other argument here. Couldn't you also probably spend less in points or cash in points and end up spending less in cash
[00:17:41] to go to the real place?
[00:17:45] As in like Europe?
[00:17:47] Well, I don't know.
[00:17:48] I don't know, things are more expensive, yada, yada, yada. But if and when we do go to Magic Kingdom and ride Tiana's Bayou Adventure at Disney World, will it be in Frontierland? Will it, pardon me, you've cut off Thunder Mountain. So you'd have to annex it somewhere. I don't know that you necessarily have to do that. I think this is the same line of thinking, and I'm not saying this to be critical, but I think this is the same and the historians online. Get those quotes back up. Patriots and historians online will make it just completely ridiculous and silly. So if you just kind of just change the aesthetics a little bit to be like, yeah, this looks kind of like New Orleans, but it's still Frontierland, Nimrod.
[00:22:46] as to where this company's current direction is. There's a lot of talk about Epic Universe and what's Disney's response going to be. I think if they do not respond in August,
[00:22:51]
