Chad's Excellent Adventure

Disney Er. As we are sitting here with the Queen of Extreme Francine, I thought, you know, since you just got back, I thought I would dress for the occasion, and here you didn't do a damn thing. So I have the shirt. I just didn't wear it. It was too wrinkly. That's really dumb. I could summon one of my minions to hand it to me while I was recorded. Look, we're gonna talk about your trip, so obviously you should

wore your Disney shirt. It makes no sense. Well, if you think about the laundry that has to get done from when I arrived home to today, it's pretty logical it wouldn't be ready yet, but it's pretty logical. No, you stop. It's pretty logical that you said you have a shirt. I do, but you're not wearing it. And I have a whole story about trying to find the right shirt and going from place to place and park to park and not being able to settle, and then

not being having what I want. Let's start from the beginning, because I want to hear about this trip. I got a really nasty text message from me. First of all, do you want to address that? First? I can we can get into that. I actually I can pull I'm going to pull it up if you'd like. I have the visual image, but for our patreons, sure, yes, I'm gonna pull it up as we're talking. I'm gonna send it to myself and and put this up here. But before I get started, how are you remember when I

went to Disney and I fell? Yes? So my left knee has been really bothering me and it's full of fluid. Oh lovely. Absolutely, yeah. So I'm debating whether to go get it drained or should I wait a little and see if it goes down. It's been a month, so it's from the Disney fall and what like? What do you think has been making it worse? Just wearing tear on it since the fall? I think the fall was brutal. It like my husband thought I shattered my kneecap. That's how hard I fell. You can hear the when I

fell on both knees. My right knee hurts but not as bad. But my left knee it's tender, like when I crawl in bed. There's pain when I put pressure on it, you know. Yeah. And last night I was just kind of feeling around, like trying to massage it before bed, and I felt all these squishy pockets and I was like, oh my god, I think I have fluid. And my you know, my daughter was lying next to me and she goes, oh, that's really squashy. What is that.

That's so cool. I was like, it's not cool, and it's called fluid in the knee and it's bad and I have to get a big needle and drain it. And then she was like that's terrifying. And uh yeah, so it's all full. It's full of fluid. Now I can't believe I just noticed it. Now, that's unbelievable. Wow. And then this is trying to jump over one of those little partitions to get to the rides. It was a string. It's literally a string to jump over. It wasn't even the chain. It wasn't like it was just

this string. It was a rope. It was a rope. Yes, it was a rope. Myop got caught and I took a tumble really really hard, and I'm experiencing a lot of pain in his hand as well from where you hit. Huh when you went down? Like yeah, so I am a bona fide hot mess. And you know, I thought wrestling was bad. I try to go to Disney. Try now, what ride was it? It was Carousel Progress. Oh yeah,

that wasn't even worth jumping over the rope. That was That was not I mean, I love it, we'll talk about that, but worth the rope jump because I'm sure the line wasn't that long. Wasn't long at all. I just I didn't feel like walking around. I was like, I'm gonna do this, and I freaking fell and I hate myself for it. I'm so mad. That's terrible. Back to you, Okay, I need to know everything. Ye're very excited to talk about it. It was a great couple

of days. You know, we're back. We were going for about five and a half, almost six days because we came back later yesterday in the day, so it was almost like it was six days, and for us that's a lot because they they are very hard to travel with the two crazies, and they hit the breaking point at different stops where they just wanted the trip to be over. My little one before anybody, she was like Tuesday was like, I want to go home and play with my toys. But then my older one, I would say,

on the ride back home was starting to crack. And otherwise behavior they were awesome. They they got along, they played, they weren't fighting, they were just happy. And that was kind of like the theme of everything for us. It's just a happy couple of days. And the travel being what it was, we got hit with traffic in two spots traveling there and coming home. They did pretty damn good. And let me ask you, you're very vocal belt where you lived, No liar in Virginia. In Virginia, yep, you're

traveling to Orlando. I know you stopped in Jacksonville. So what was the amount of time from where you lived to Jacksonville? So on paper, it's supposed to be nine hours and thirty five minutes. Oh okay, so that's about two and a half hours in Virginia. Then about two hours in North Carolina, then two hours that feels like seventy five hours in South Carolina, then about two hours in Georgia, and then Jacksonville's right over the border. You're

essentially there in thirty five forty minutes. South Carolina can suck the biggest you know what on the planet, for both sides of the trip, just not only the fact, and for anybody listening in South Carolina. Don't take this the wrong way. There's nothing going on. There's nothing going on in South Carolina. But that's where we got hit with our traffic on our way down, and what was supposed to be nine hours and thirty five minutes took

close to eleven hours. And that was the killer and literally made the difference of Sunday being okay, we can get to Jacksonville, put our bags down and go walk around this Jacksonville town Center that was right next to the brand new hotel we were saying and basically lifting up the curtains Holiday and Express. It was so new, it was next to a top golf, it was all lit up, it was beautiful, just nice little lake right

outside the hotel. But the difference between being able to enjoy the little town center and rushing to find a place to eat at eight o'clock at night. Where the difference of South Carolina. So South Carolina, big thumbs down, the way down. Okay, but what it was going to be a longer drive for you because I mean, you know, I know you and I don't live near each other. I'm up north obviously, But it took us twenty four hours to get there the one time, and I'll never

do that again, mind you. Okay, So you get to Jacksonville. You like your hotel, it's pretty very nice, look lovely. Yeah, you get something to eat, you just settle in for the night because you know you're going pretty much. Yeah, we went. So we went to this little town center had a ton of shops, like just it was attached to a shopping center and it was like a little mini mall. But everything was closed because it was eight

o'clock on a Sunday. Yeah, so Barnes and Noble closed, you know, lids which come on, I mean, I see a lids. I got to get in there close for like three hours. Even Starbucks closed in front of us. That's how everything was closed. So we had to wait about forty five minutes to get into the cheesecake factory, and we didn't eat till like nine o'clock, maybe like nine fifteen. And for my kids, my kids do not stay up late. They are usually in bed by eight

o'clock and that's the end of them. They have never eaten that late before. And I gotta say, if I was going to rate where we ate the whole trip the cheesecake factory meal, maybe because we were so tired, and like, oh, it was also my anniversary that night. Yeah, we traveled, so our anniversary dinner was cheesecake Factory. It was pretty damn good. All right, well that's good, Yeah it was. It was nice, nice ava turkey and avocado sandwich or chicken and avocado sand was damn good. But yeah,

then right back to the hotel and that was really it. Now. I had been joking talking to some people and I said, you know, I know, this is ae W's back door, you know, hometown here Jacksonville, And this top golf was so appealing because it was right next to the hotel and apparently that's a big hangout for the boys in Jacksonville. And I really wanted to go, But what am I gonna do? Draga a nine year old to play the chip golf balls on a Sunday night. So maybe next

time Jacksonville, I'm hitting the top golf. It was very tempting, and it was right freaking there. It was taunting us. But we get up on Monday and we have the nice free breakfast, a holiday in Express, which is the big perk of staying there, really the only reason I do. And I'm starting to a mess a lot of points for the first time ever, and two hours to Orlando, nothing literally nothing. We left at nine and we drove

right into the parking lot of Epcott. I was gonna say, okay, so you didn't even check into your hotel, right into the parking lot of Epcot. When I couldn't tell you how many times I stressed to everybody, you are not going to experience this ever again if we come back. And what I mean is when you can park literally right in front of the building, walk right into Epcot, walk right onto rides and just boo boo, boom boom,

start hitting every spot. Okay, So this this was what I was saying, was you get to Epcot, You're in the park there for opening. What are the crowds like it was at Epcot was definitely the least crowded of all three places that we went to. And we went in the morning going on, yeah, in the morning and at night. It was definitely the least crowded that we had been to. Uh. So we get there way I would say we were about thirty minutes after they open.

We probably got there about eleven thirty. They opened at eleven. They just extended the times the week that we went yep everywhere, so every place was open longer. Uh, but still at the thirty five percent capacity, which it just was such a blessing. It was so much better. I mean, we walked right in, we took a look around, and

we're like, all right, where should we go first? So we went to Journey to Your Imagination Figment first stop right, No, wait, probably we walked right up twenty five minutes and all we did was walk around and then we're inside. I wanted to I didn't want to bother you, but I did want to, like, let you know, the wait times are very deceiving. Yes, yeah, you can't trust the weight times right now at Disney World because they are much less than what they appear to be so in some cases.

In some cases and others they and others they're dirty, rotten liars when they put those times up on the screen. But yes, so we went right into Journey to Your Imagination. Joy was frolicking in the field next to it and pantomiming and throwing things and waving to the kids and crying because she couldn't come out and say hi. It just was oh so great. So at Epcot started our Epcot streak of every ride being interrupted. So you had

every single ride, every single one at Epcot. Wow, okay everyone and the best one any time I have because we talked about it before. You know, my older one is she's the same way. She's dying to break down on something with all those videos watches. So she basically had I was holding my phone ready to go video because she wants to send it into one of these

videos that she watches. And we go into Figment. We make the first turn and you know when they start singing the song, nothing no audio but the whole video and everything playing in front of us. All you hear is the hum of the machines and the ride. So I filmed the whole thing. It's about forty five seconds of us just sitting there looking at its screen and you know, you can't hear anything. You don't know what they're saying. What's going on? Yeah, and uh, it was

started the streak. It was I think the first five rides we did at Epcot all style. Yeah. But yeah, we went from I went from there too. We went to Nemo. Then we went to Spaceship Earth. Yes, and I hope you chose green over orange. Uh for space Ship Earth. I'm sorry. I thought you said mission Space. No mission Space, but is that? Yeah, I don't know, I get them confused. There's two of them. Is the

Giant Ball? Okay? No, it was mission Space and we were because I'm thinking where you are and where you're walking, so mission space? Yeah, we were. We were Green? Yes, Green is I went on orange once. Yeah, and it was like I was going to die. I will never do it again. So green going to die because of age welling to die because orange is orange. You literally spin, you spin and you I just I felt like I was going to vomit all over the screen. It was

just the weird. It was the worst feeling. Yeah, that didn't bother me. That that didn't bother me. I could see it. You went on green. I said that wouldn't bother me. I said it wouldn't bother you. I wouldn't bother me. But uh, here's my little synopsis of Epcot. Though as a whole, I'm not I'll keep talking more about it. I'm sure at one point it was real cutting edge. I'm sure at one point everybody went to Epcott was like, Wow, this is what the future is

gonna look like. Well, okay, well I got news for you. The future's here and Epcot is lagging. Skip ahead to Frozen. What did your girls think? Loved it? Okay, here's what I thought? Way too short? M yeah, beautiful. I think I timed it at a minute in fifty nine. No, it's gonna be longer than it is, like two minutes. I could not believe. And that was the end. Again, not having to wait so long for certain rides. I

just couldn't believe how short some of them were. Yeah, you know, and then maybe because when you wait that whole time and you get on, you're just so happy that you're on it because of the you know, the exhaustive weight. This We jump right on and we're out I'm like, that was it? Yeah, you wait time on that about twenty twenty five minutes. So we had we were traveling with my cousin, were with my aunt and uncle, my cousins and my cousin Andrew has a guest assistance things,

so we did return times. So basically we would just go to the rides. Hey, we'd like a return time, We get it and we come back. Yeah, so I did. I'm very fortunate to not have had to wait on a lot for the big ones you know, Watch Frozen, Slinky Dog, you name them, Space, Space Mountain, any any of the big like real popular ones that we did. I didn't have to wait very long because we just went right to front. But otherwise I still didn't have

to wait that much longer going through the lines. Okay, but it's back with the beginning half of Epcot and like you know, the future nests and the space stuff. It it is amazing what they did. At one point, I was talking to my dad, my dad, you know, was there when Epcot opened, and just talk about the stuff. Even the World's Fair attractions that moved over to Magic Kingdom. This was cutting edge. This was stuff that people couldn't believe they were seeing at one point and just to

see how it's aged. And we have like really like moved ahead technology wise. It's amazing. And you go on these older relic rides and you're like it was good at one point. It's just you gotta go on it for the novelty Now it's nostalgia. Yeah, that's exactly what it is. I mean, they are making upgrades and I feel like like Spaceship Birth, for example, is supposed to

get an overhaul. They're supposed to redo certain things. I love Spaceship Birth the way it is, but you know, if they can tweak certain things, it'll be exciting to go on a newer ride. Yeah, were you able to get to the France pavilion. We kind of walked through what do I need to see? Well, that's where the ratitude the two week didn't really notice, wasn't really paying attention.

I was kind of wrangling the kids a lot, so it was Yeah, it was tough because you know, my little one is she's very rambunctious, so it was tough to take in a lot of the stuff in each land. You know, we walked through a lot we ate in Italy. I told you we ate it vietnapoli. Did you like it? I liked it. It was all right. It wasn't right. It wasn't the top of my list of the eating we did over the few days. I found it very pricey for it was seventy dollars pizza or whatever the heck.

It was kinda was a kick in the scones. Yeah, well, and I don't need for me. I'm not eating dairy. I don't eat cheese, very very few choices. So I had to scrape the cheese off my pizza. Oh, you're such a loser. So I had like five slices of pizza with no cheese on it, because there was like it was like eating nothing. When you took the cheese off, it was like it was literally part you could tell

I piled it. It was on my plate like a little side plate and the cheese was So are you not eating it for your diet or I just took get out of my diet and I'm just not. I haven't brought it back in. I just haven't had any dairy. I haven't any dairy in a year. I will I have had ice cream, Okay, I will say that, but I'm talking cheese products, you know, straight like milk or butter. I haven't had anything like that. Did Liz get the drink? I recommend it? She did not? Actually, Okay, so here

was the thing. I was going to try to text you that night to ask you what it was. My phone was dead, so we did not. But she got a really nice she got a really cool drink in another spot. I just can't remember what it is right the second hopefully it toggles my mind. And I kept telling her, I said this is during Francine said to

get it was and my phone was dead. And because now when we reach people, all we have to do is just and you know, maybe I should have just sent you a DM on Twitter because my other phone was up, but i'd have your number programmed in the other phone. M me on Patreon or the things that you think of afterwards. Platform that way, you're why did I send a message to your husband on Facebook? These are the things that I'm not thinking of, like when

you're in the moment. Terrible. Okay, So ipcot was a success. Let me just go back to it. So the Nemo ride, that was another little malfunction. We got stuck in the area where the shark comes up to the screen. Yeah, I've never seen NEMO, so I don't know the characters, but it just kept looping and he just yeah. But we were sitting in front of it for like ten minutes like that's what they do? This is it? And then it was like that's what do you think they're

going to put on a special parade for you? Because I just thought it might stop because we were stopped going keeps coming back up. But the cool thing about Nemo was, and we didn't expect it because I haven't ever been to it was the aquarium on the top being able to go around and it's like you got too little per you got to go on a ride, but then you got to go see you know, sharks and went upstairs and looked around. Oh that was so awesome. Yeah,

they have some hammerheads and big sharks and starfish. They have everything in that tank. And and that that tank that you went and saw is part of the ride. Yes, so when you're going through, you're seeing the tank in the ride with the animation overary. I love it, absolutely love that. And again that was when we just walked right up to just said twenty five minutes and all

you did was just walk around the circle. And another cool thing too with how they have the socially distanced lines and stuff is And I caught this as we were going through each park. These are places a lot of people haven't been before in terms of where they're maneuvering you around lines and this and corners and opening up spaces. Going through Star Tours, I mean like you felt like you were going behind the scenes with where park.

So we yeah, you know, I'm just by just saying, like, you know, the ins and outs of each line and stuff. It just was. But I got to say, the family really loved the three coup of Eros ride in Mexico. Okay, So I was going to ask, did you get to before we go back to Mexico? Did you get to go to the land where living with the land and soarin where we didn't go to that. We we kept going back and forth. We did, Yeah, we did. We

kept on seeing it was very open. We could have walked right up, but it was around the time we were going to go check into the hotel, and then when we came back, we just didn't do it. So two of the greatest rides that were there, and you miss them. You know, I have the comprehensive list if you want me to go through it. At the end of everything we did go on, I did compile the list. You would have loved Soorin Sorein is Soren is one of the best rides in all the parts. Yeah, we

missed that one. Uh. Do they still have the cardboard cutouts? Yes? And that My my older daughter was pissed off. Had no end about that because she's like, she's like every video I watched their malfunctioning, their failing. She goes, so they took them out, she goes, but I want the animatronics. Yeah, and you just go to the end, the big finish and these just cardboard cutouts like hard work. And you know, before they got the animatronics, there was like a movie

of them. And my daughter said, why wouldn't they just put the movie back up instead of this three stupid things? It looks so stupid. That was so dumb, And I was like, that was it when we were talking. That was the end of it, But that I think that that was I think the last like ride we did Relaxing. It was just a perfect end. Uh. And we also went to the Beauty and the Beast, little short movie, the real story, you know, and we're Beauty in the

Beast marks. So we loved it. Never knew along, never knew Lafu was the real hero of Beauty and the Beast right knew it blew our mind as we talked about it the whole ride home. Okay, so what did you actually stay till closing? Or they stayed at Epcot? They closed at eleven. I think we left at about nine forty five. Oh, that's pretty good. Okay, So we went to the hotel around two thirty ish and then went from two thirty, came back at about oh, our

reservation was at four fifteen. We didn't get seated till about five o'clock. So yeah, so we were gone for about two hours or so. And as we stayed at the All Star Movies resort, which is very depressing when you drive down the road for All Star Movies and there's All Star Sports closed and All Star Music closed, yeah but lit, and you're just thinking like, there's this many people not here right now with these two giant spots completely closed. Very depressing driving through those right. Well,

what did you think now? Is this your first time at movies. Yes, because we stayed at the Pop the last time. Uh huh okay, I would have given my right our listeners. I'll show our listeners.

Upon waking up Tuesday morning to get ready for our magical day at the Magic Kingdom, I have equated this to multiple people I've spoken to in the last few days as a magical extra that we had added to the Disney family. If you can see what I bring to you on the screen, this little fella. When you sent me that, I was like, oh, this is this

is like one of those photoshopped pictures. He just pulled a bug picture because I wasn't sure what I'm looking at. It's a tissue paper on a toilet seat, Like what am I looking at? You? Know, and then you're like, oh, no, it's real. And I was gagging literal. This was about my time. Stamp on the phone was seven o'clock on the nose, and I was already up. I was starting to get ready. I was just kind of closing up stuff, you know. I posted our Tuesday episodes and I just

was getting everything ready. By the way, take that down, oh of the story. I'll take it down after the shore scheme, Like I'm skim out to no end right now? Can you If you hit you know, and you take the pictures and it has like you don't you know what it's like. You take a picture, but it has like that two seconds of video because you're doing what are they call If you press the picture in my phone, it moves a little right. So that's the official of

eyes up here. So my little one goes to the bathroom and you know, they have the sliding doors and everything, so I'm helping her get the doors open. She gets in and she goes, Daddy, there's a bug in the garbage. And I was like, at least I was like, oh, that's you know, she's silly, you know whatever. It's probably like a fly and she's just noticing it. And she goes, it's a big bug. And I'm like, oh no, I go please no. And I look right down and I was like, oh that's nasty. Oh that's gross. I go,

that's like Joe Joe's apartment the old MTV show. Not really, No, Joe's apartment was the guy Jerry O'Connell had like singingroaches in his apartment. I go, this is not existentially pleasing. And I took the garbage. I ran to the door and I did this, and I threw the pail of garbage outside the door. You threw garbage into the hallway, No, you're outside, it was outside, all right, okay, so it's okay. So you threw garbage outside of your room. I threw

it outside the room. He I heaved him out. I picked up the papers that were around it, put it back in the garbage. He scampered away, and I scampered away and I closed the door. I woke up Liz. I was like hey, I was like, uh, don't be alarmed. I said, I think I just found a cockroach in our garbage. And she sits up and she's like what, and I was like yeah. I was like I'm gonna go just slip my shoes on and I'm gonna go make a call. So I would have I would have

kept that bug and stuck it. So that's the thing. I was like, all right, I called, I go hey. I was like, this is the deal. Found a cockroach in the uh in the garbage. I said, I don't know if this is considered a magical cockroach, I said, but it's very gross, I said, And we need to figure out what we're gonna do with this, I said, because you know it took our oh that was the other little caveat our room wasn't ready till almost eight o'clock on uh Monday night. Okay, so we had to

put like my laptop, the girl's American girl dolls. We put them in my cousin's room. His out of our three were the only ones ready, so we put it in there, and we didn't get ready till about eight o'clock with the room. Kept checking the phone for the number and everything, even though we knew where it was going to be, and opened the door through that mf or out and then called Disney's front desk and I was like, Hi, So I don't know if this is because maybe you guys had the door open when you

were getting our room ready or what. But this was in our garbage. What are you going to do for us now? And they whoof, they started to get the gears in motion. So what did they end up doing? I got a call from the housekeeping manager within twenty five thirty minutes. She was like, Okay, this is the plan. We have to get pest control in. They have to inspect your room. They're going to set traps in places

that the guests won't see. We're going to send in housekeeping to completely change all the linens, take out your towels, wipe everything down, blah blah blah blah blah. You know, COVID protocols being what they are, you're not supposed to have maid service for the most part. Well I told you that when I was there. Yeah, so you know, and that was every hotel too. They it's big times, like no maide service while you're here, and we're like, uh, we'll have to call you back to like you know,

the updates and you know, blah blah blah. So we have to then go back in the room and we bring all our We brought all our own sheets, our own pillows. Right, we had to fold all that crap up, put it away, put all the stuff that we had out, put it all away, bags all basically packed again on the counters. You know, I'm like checking my shoes, like, you know, knocking them all over, trying to make sure there's no bugs laying eggs in there and shit. So

we do that, go to the Magic Kingdom. We're at the Magic Kingdom for I would say eleven hours on Tuesday, no break. My my aunt, uncle and cousins. They took a break around like two three o'clock. We were We stayed the whole time, and the Magic Kingdom is the greatest place on planet Earth. There's no crue about it. Just it was such an awesome day. Not to mention the weather was not terrible. All three days we were in the parks, and we got our money's worth that day.

We went on basically everything except for seven Dwarfs mind train which was hang on the weight that was the only one where the weight was ridiculously long, and then closed for a big portion of the day because they had a maintenance issue. And Splash Mountain. Those are basically the only two things I didn't do okay, so you did you hit Big Thunder, you hit Space Mountain bigs thunder Space still down people move were still down testing

it like crazy. Yeah. But so like middle of the day, I never heard a word from the people at Disney. So I the woman had been text messaging me in the morning. I said, I said, hey, you're just looking for an update, And of course she calls while we're on Winnie the Pooh, so I had to call her when we got out, and my little one wanted a doll or this, and she's screaming in my ear and I can't hear the lady talking to me. She got a very thick accent, so I'm trying to decipher everything

she's saying. All I heard her say was they were giving us money credit, you know, towards the room applied to the final bill, which they flubbed and they messed up the total and I had to call them back at the end of the trip to get fixed. But they did good. They could. They weren't switching us out. I had suggested, you know, are you going to switch us and they said no, and they said they're just going to continue to clean it and bug spray at which they did, so every time we came back, it

just smelled like bug spray and bleach. Basically, you're you're lucky you got money back because when we had aunts come on, sorry we had ants to two trips ago, we didn't get anything. They came in and they did the same thing, you know, put the bug spray and all that kind of stuff, but they didn't offer us anything. So I said, what are you going to do for us? Yeah?

I just said, it's disappointing because we're Onny Disney property, and the meant that I understand completely, but I wasn't and I could have followed it up more because now because of all the bug spray, now all the other bugs that were just meandering around the room, we're now all dead. So there's dead nats all over the place. It was really shitty room. It was a fly on

the wall that we saw. They were literally a dead fly on the wall if they were just any bug that came in was dead on contact because there was that much stuff in there. Okay, so what what was your favorite? Rided Magic Kingdom is and the Pirates Love Pirate now had not been on the updated Pirates with all the but I remember liking it more than too. Liz loved it, which I was surprised. She's not a big fan of any of that stuff. She loved the Pirates big time. And it was no, it was great.

It was It was just so awesome. But the haught I Mansion when we went last time stopped twice, so it was like we didn't get to experience it in full this time, no interruptions. And even the thing that sucks is, you know, the taking out the beginning part where you're in the room, but the way you walk, yeah, the way you walk through and they have you go through literally like you feel like you're going around the

whole building just to get in. You listen and they're playing it on the speaker so you get the the intro and then it just went all the way through, not a hiccup. It was so odd. I just loved that ride so much and so classic. And on the other side of it, where Epcot has spoke to be space, this doesn't change. This is old you know, rickety House and the ghosts just oh so perfect. I loved it. Everything. Okay, I'm I think, oh this is another funny one. It's

a small World. I did personally don't want to go on it, but you know, the family had never been on and we have now unanimously voted we are never going on it ever again. We did because it's just a relaxing, you know, relaxing ten minutes. That's where I said that those way times lied, right. That was the longest waytime of anything we did, was it. We were on the stupid line for I have to say, over an hour and twenty minutes. Wow, Wow, that is long for a small world. And what does it say on

the screen thirty minute? Wait, it didn't break down, There was no issues. It was just how many people that were putting on the boat. Yeah, that was it. You went on Peter Pan. Yep. So you had to walk through the queue. Is the first time you're walking through the new queue? Did you? Oh gosh? All those right, those great pieces they had all over the place. That was And that's one my my aunts in said the same thing, like she'd never been through this part and

seen all this cool stuff. Now here was Peter Pan. We were the last group of the day to go on it. So we again we went literally right through the queue, right on to the ride and and that's my little one. That was her favorite ride because I don't think she expected to, you know, drift off into the sky. Yes, it was our first time walking through the queue because we always had a fast pass for it. Yeah, and to see like you're walking through their house and

then you see tinker Bell going through the room. Oh, it was so cute. Now that was That was a huge park and that was the end of the before we left. I think that was the last thing we did. We were the last people to be loud on it. We did. After we ate, we ate at the oh gosh, on Main Street Capital Something, Capital Ale or the names escaping me, right on Main Street facing the castle Capital Something. It's just I can't get the name of my head.

But that's where we had dinner and eftery we went there. We went to Big Thunder Mountain, Peter Pan, and we were going to go to phil harm Magic but it just closed. In phil harm Magic we did the last time and I would have done it just because we were there. But that was another thing we didn't do. We did everything else. And the test track I've never done test tracks. I've never done the bumper car well whatever, the one what's the one they have at Magic Kingdom.

What's a little like rider cart things that they have? Oh, Tomorland Speedway, which is the that's the worst ride in the park. Never did didn't do that, didn't do the test track at Epcot, didn't do any of that crap. Fine, you know, I'm not I'm not killing myself, but you know, the Tea Cubs, Dumbo, Aladdin, uh yar Stormer, didn't do that. The girls had no interest really and they didn't really. It was after Dumbo. I asked, you, do anybody want to go on it? They said no, Yeah, it looked

like it was all right. I mean it was. It's the short I think it's the shortest ride in every part, like all the parks. I think it clocks in at like forty five seconds or something. It's very fast. All right. We did the buzz Lightyear thing. Yeah, I don't like that ride. I'm okay with them. It was you know, for the kids, it's whatever, go on it, but I

it's not one of my favorite rides. That was another one where the queue was very long, so you got to see the inside and the cool little buzz Yeah, buzz Light your Space Mountain which was just so awesome that scares me. I went, I want and done for me, I will never go on it again. Yeah, I loved it. Carousel progress again back to my original statements. Endearing as hell. Yeah, just you get that. And especially Jean Shepherd, the narrator of the Christmas Story being the voice of the man

and the stories. John, Yeah, can get. It's just so endearing. But again, you know it's passed by by technology, but this one you feel like the warmth of the age. Fun fact for you. John and Patricia who is his daughter. Okay, they are also in Spaceship Earth in a scene where they're playing instruments when you're going up on the right hand, they use the same mold for the faces and it's John and Patricia. Oh, there you go. I did not

know that. Yes, but very very just it needs a facelift for the modern part, right, Yes, that's what I like. I'm sure it was the eighties at one point, and then it was the nineties, and then they were like, yeah, we'll just leave it at the nineties. Pirates, Aladdin, Haunt a Mansion, Peter Pan, Small World, The Royal Palace, Carousel, Little Mermaid, Teacups, Winnie the Pood, Dumbo, and thunder Mountain.

So that was a full freaking day. But now what I also find very interesting factor in in somehow in this schedule, if there were meet and greets, you'd have to start knocking stuff off that you didn't get to. Yep, yeah here, And that was interesting because I was gonna say that with the with the characters, not a lot, I said, joy at Epcot, the ones that you had told me about when you first walk in in main Street,

the you know, the Mickey Mouse crew. They were above uh cavalcade was one we saw tinker Bell and the Magic Kingdom. The other one was the Princesses. Pretty much it, well, maybe a few other Anna was in Epcot around one of the buildings where oh breaking news and officially confirmed by Anna because my little one being the Frozen historian. She is asked, is Rapunzel really their cousin which has

been long rumored? Have you heard that Rapunzel was at the ceremony movie which created this long rumor of since the movie came out Rapunzel is the cousin of Anna and Elsa. That has now been debunked by Anna. Oh so asda she said is Rapunzel really your No, she was talking to the talking to she was staying. Anna was standing there all you know, regal, and she said, is Rapunzel really your cousin? And she said, no, she's not.

Everybody thinks she is, but she's not. That We were like, whah, breaking Why was she at your wedding or why was she at the wedding the coronation day? Yes, got me, But now that's that should be breaking news. I mean, that's that's a big story. You know, the the kids who love Frozen and growing up with it, they all have one thought. But Anna debunked it. So yeah, that was it. We really didn't see a lot of like characters walking around. Okay, and so the last day is

Hollywood Studios. Yes, didn't love it. Oh god, I'm assuming you didn't get rise of their resistance. We did not. Now, now, three of us were on the docket to attempt it. Two of the three kept their promise. The third, who will remain nameless, just forgot. I think it's I think you're the third man. Are you kidding me? It's the best, It's like the one of the best rides. Yeah. I wanted to do it very badly Smugglers Run. No, oh my god, you're missing everything. And now Smuggler's Run was done.

When we went on my cousins went to Smugglers Run. I went with the girls to do the kids stuff, so I missed out. Hey, look, I'll take their happiness over mine. It's okay. They would have liked it too, though. They did Star Tours, yeah, which Brie was the rebel uh by. Yeah, it was brief. I wish I was able to snap a picture of it because it was so fast. But Brie's sitting there like in the seat, and all of a sudden they go, have you seen

this rebel spy on board? And the picture of Bree pops up and everybody's like, oh, you know you can ask them to pick your children as the rebel spy. Oh you can know. Well, I've never heard it, but I've done it. You had very nice Yeah, Brie was she she was kind of caught off guard by it that it was her you did. I don't know if she understood what she really was like being portrayed at it, but nonetheless, very funny and that was good. I mean I enjoyed that. I guess some of the updates to

the film that they've added. You know, were in there last time, I years ago, but that was really Star Wars thing that we did. Would you Terror? Terror? No, okay, a terror? And the rock and roller coaster Okay, did not get to because when everybody when we maybe could have done that, I was off doing the stuff with the girls, and I went over to Maddie wanted to do Tower of Terror, and I said, if the wait is under forty five minutes, we will go on. And

it was like seventy five minutes. And as we were getting ready to leave, and we had reservations at Disney Springs at like uh seven something, and we we denuct stay. We had to leave. All right, let me ask you this, what did you do? Because okay, you're missing all the good rides and that I did this part of the reason why you don't like Hollywood. But I don't like it.

It just wasn't you know. We went in a shorter amount of time the last time, and I feel like I did get, like, you know, enough done in that time. We did h Mickey and Minnie Runaway Railway, love it right, awesome, probably my favorite ride of the three days. Okay, So well done. Again, very short, and I felt it was shorter than the Great Movie Ride because if that it's the same building as the Great Movie Ride, and it's

it's like half the half the time, but it's it's spectacular. Okay, Slinky dog Dash loved it again, very short, and Liz had done it the last time and she was scared to death of it. And you're not a fan of it. It wasn't that bad. I don't like it. It really wasn't that bad. And and I I enjoyed it. I thought it was you know, it was a nice little homage to Toy Story, very well done. We did the alien saucers that were fun. Yep, that was a good one to do. The DJ who was doing the aliens,

that guy loves his job. That guy was groovy, he was he was dancing his butt off. We did Toy Story Mania, so we did the trifecta of Toy Story Rides, Star Tours, Frozen sing Along, and we closed out the day with the Disney Junior Dance Party. So you only went on six attractions there, uh one, two, three, four, five, yeah, six and then the sing along and dance party. Now those were where everybody else is doing Smugglers Run and all that stuff. Yeah, the dance party was the best

ender we could have asked for for those kids. They loved it. They danced their butts off. It was they were just smiles and the ambiance was great. And I think that it was uh uh who it was. Mickey was in there. It was Timone from Timona, Pumba, Doc McStuffins and Vamparina. Couldn't ask for anything better. So that was that was the perfect then. And again, you know there's five and nine. It's it's tough to be like we're going on every coaster. We're going on all these

thrill rides, and that's the bottom line. I like what we did for them. If I ever had the chance to go with Liz just us, I do as many thrill rides as I can't, even though she's a scaredy cat. But all in all, I'm very very happy with with what we did. Minus I would have liked to have done Tower Terror. That was really it. Yeah, okay, but

it was great. That was awesome. We went to Rainforest Cafe at Disney, you know, Lava Mountain at the top and fire that was kind of you know, there's always something. When these Barclays go out for dinner, there's always an issue they We know, we reserved this two months ago, could have possibly given us the And my uncle was listening the biggest dog ship table in the building. So there's the elephants and gorillas, and there's monkeys, and there's fire,

and there's rain, and there's this. We were so far away from all that in the original table that they were putting us at My uncle literally with his finger wagging, no, I'm not going to do that. And we we had to wait another like twenty extra minutes to get seated. But Disney Springs, man, you know, it was it was crowded, I felt, and the lines to get in the stores. You couldn't get in the lego because the line was

so long. But we went to World with Disney, and that's where we did a lot of our souvenir shopping. And it was, you know, it was a very accelerated three plus days. And then oh and then Thursday morning we did the Grand Floridian Breakfast. Oh, Chef Mickey, if he was chef, we didn't see him, but then Checkey Okay, no, there was no Chef Mickey. But again reserve these two

months in advance. They wanted to put us in the side room that would be used for the character breakfast, and my uncle wasn't having that, so we had to wait a little bit longer, which is fine. We had to wait a little bit longer for the better table, but I chicken and waffles. Who not only was it expensive, it was heavy. Well, you were on vacation, so it's okay. I did eat pretty good. That was very concerned about that.

I didn't know my traditional salads. But I will implore Disney to maybe switch up some of the menus in the parks to not be identical. So when we ate a Cosmic Rays on Tuesday and Imagic Kingdom, we just got the same thing the next day at the backstage cafe, literally the same exact order. I understand, item, exact thing. Yeah, I wish there menu could be a little healthier, geared towards like the adults, you know, a little more options. But it sounds like you had a great trip. I'm

always drilled for you guys. Yeah, that's great. And then next time we go back, we're going to do Animal Kingdom. Yeah. I was going to ask you are you are you like going to take a break for a couple of years. Are you planning next year? Like, what is your well, you know how it is. I want to go back next year, there's no I want to planning our trip for January. Yeah, I want to go back. And it's so funny too, because it's said when I was trying to get the info to call All Star Movies because

I said they messed up my money back. They only gave me fifty when they're supposed to give me a hondi and and call back. And they were very good about it. They got it quick. But it's just so funny how fast you're erased out of the system. No remnants of anything on that app of you being anywhere near the park. Yeah, what's that door shuts behind you? You're done. But we will and this is a vow absolutely be staying in another area. I'm not going to

these value spots the next time. I like that Cornado Springs, I was looking at that. That's a little bit up in terms of just just a slight. We had somebody tell us how their home base of operations is the Polynesian Resort. Well, and I go, let me take out the old Google what's the average like nine sixty nights. Well here's the thing. Now, I looked at Polynesian because I'm pricing right now, and I wanted to see what

do the bungalows cost. The bungalows are the ones that are yeah, right on the water, right on the water, single, you know, two batter and too bad. They have their own pool and hot tub. It's absolutely gorgeous. So when I when I bring it up, it said, I think it's it's like starting at five sixty seven, five and sixty seven. Yeah. I got so excited because I thought it was for the bungalow. Oh no, it's for the hotel. Oh my gosh, that's what it started at. The bungalows

are like three grand a night. Oh just like no. Yeah, we look it up in the hotel on Tuesday night and it was nine to sixty for the Polynesian. Well they went up then and the Grand Floridian was like five seventy, and I was like, that's a bargain compared to Polynesians. But I'm aiming for that Cornado Springs perhaps just upgraded a little bit be off. Though. I can't do this again, you know, I like the pop. It was. It was they like the statues and stuff, but they're

just so cookie cutter and exactly the same thing. Our problem is my husband's a giant and the rooms are too small. They either need to get two rooms or a sweep. Right, we need two bathrooms because I'm sorry, I take up a lot of rooms. My toilet trees take up the whole area. So we like to have two bathrooms. And that's why that place we just stayed at was it was perfect, right, but it was off property. I don't know if I mentioned this last time. We as soon as we came home, they sent us an email,

we miss you already. Here's twenty five percent off the room for your next visit. And I said, as tempting as it is, I don't think I want to stay off property. I want to go back. You know, you lose a little bit of the magic on your Yeah, I can see that. I could absolutely see that. Yeah. I can't remember when we went with my left time with my parents in nineteen ninety nine, we went on my dad's military U there's a military resort. Yeah, I just can't remember it was on the property, or if

it wasn't, I don't think it was. I think it was right outside, and I didn't remember it being the same kind of like warm, loving Disney experience that you have when you you go through. This is one thing. I made the kids laugh every time I said this. But they're missing out so much on having just like character relief in like certain areas. Imagine like the security

on the properties and stuff like you get out. It's like Goofy with like a flashlight looking in the cars every time we drove by Aga, I wonder who's in that one? When you get stopped by the security and Goofy comes out, I was like, whoa, Yeah, what's going on in this car? Right? Gosh? But I was great, great trip, had a ton of fun. And one of the things that we will be having this week on Patreon, if you guys are ever so obliged to care, I did a little Disney video. I can't wait to watch this.

I didn't intrigued. I'm not like you. I'm not you know, you're you're the you can go live and share all these things. I basically just walked around a little bit and was talking and just showing some things. They're shorter clips. I'm gonna put them all together. But it's about, you know, fifteen minutes total, I think, and what I took and it was it was just nice. I was just saying what was going on a dad. I think I chronicled the acker roach and gave a little rundown. But I

took one at the hotel. I took one at every park, and I think I was more ambitious on the first day, being like, I'll pull it out later, and then I was like, a shit, it's phone died. Kids are going cuckoo, so I gotta I gotta focus. Anytime I stepped away to go to the bathroom or something, I pulled the phone out and walked around. So but I was great.

I was you get that those blues afterwards. Oh and then driving home we went to Florence, South Carolina for the night on Thursday into Friday, and again South Carolina, with your traffic and your two lanes on ninety five, you gotta do something about it because it sucks. There's nothing to look at. It's trees and nothing, and you're stuck in traffic for no reason. And they killed They made a supposed to be seven hour trip like almost ten. It was brutal. So South Carolina. I'm sorry. Well, yeah,

I'm glad you're home safe. I'm glad the kids, you know, enjoyed themselves and even Liss had a nice anniversary week. Yes, but now it's back to the grind. So back to the grind. We're recording this on a Saturday. I can't wait to just get us back to a regular schedule for the immediate future, because I can't picture a day what we'll need, you know, in any day other than Friday.

So I can't wait to get back to Friday. Yeah. Well, coming up in May, we're gonna have to do a Thursday because I have some dates coming up that I will be home for. Yes, you do. So are you you're excited orre you nervous? I'm both? Yeah, I'm both. I feel like, you know, part of me is saying

I could do anything. I was just in Florida. Florida is all open, like I'll be fine, and the other half is saying, well, what if some idiot comes and doesn't feel well but still wants to meet wrestlers and I bring something home like it's yeah, I'm you're gonna do the mask? Oh yeah, I'm gonna. I believe there's a rumor. I don't know if it's true, but somebody had said there might even be pleas to glass up. Hmm. Really, that's interesting. I'm not sure if that's gonna happen or not.

But I'm not hugging. I'm not touching anyone. I mean, I'm sorry. If this ruins the experience, I think it's better off for me and for the people coming. I think we're doing the lean over the table kind of Hey, how's it going? Do you do any Disney Force perspective? You know, you in the background and them standing on a little little sticky on the floor, and I want to do what Disney does. Put me on a big pedestal and I'll be hovering over the people, like twelve

feet away. So I'll be up here and they'll be like all the way down here. But you're your peasants. That's why the stream. No. I wish things were back to normal. I you know, I love conventions. I love giving people hugs and high vibes and shaking hand. You can't do that too scary, do it? But anyway? That's May fourteenth and fifteenth over in Indianapolis, Indiana for Squared Circle Expo. Yeah, and Square Circle Expo. It's been delayed. We've been delayed. And while I'm plugging, I know we're

we're going to go over two more patreons. But on April seventeenth, I'm doing Facebook Live two PM Signed by Superstars. I hope everybody can watch that, And there's also going to be another virtual while I'm in Indy, and I believe that's seven o'clock. I'll have more information see that. That's cool. Yeah, that's yeah. I'm doing too. But the Signed by Superstars one is a free for all and

that should be very entertaining. And I'll be wearing a bikini and the other outfit change, you know, and you'll be able to be on what I'm wearing. So it's a good time. Those are always unpredictable, whether it's songs that are getting requested. God, yes, they request I sing. I'm oh if it changes, you know, stories, you know, laughs, it's always fun. It's just fun. I try to be entertaining and not just sit there and be a Debbie Downer,

so now come watch me. That was also the funny thing too, you know, the Florida being known as like the Wild West, as you look at the news. Right Jacksonville, I'd say was fifty to fifty. But Disney World, it was like I was back in Virginia because it's the restrictions there are basically the girls not one but I mean you ripped that thing off the second you had to eat. But like not one complaint of the girls because they're so used to it with school, and it

was you know, there wasn't really any difference. Yeah, I know, Disney was inside. The park's totally different experience. We stayed off property. It was like Corona didn't exist. I told you, everybody was in the hot tub next to each other at their bud lights and their cores lights, and I said to myself, that's a little bit. It was weird because like even a cheesecake factory, you know, people were going up to the hostess at the door and just like going right up to her, and she had a

mask on. But they were all going up and being like, yeah, you know, a party is six. And I was still like, you know, I'm not a mask fan, but I go, you know, I'm just so used to this, put the thing on, went up and sat there. The only time I took the mask off while we traveled is we

were in McDonald's in Brunswick, Georgia. We got coffee Lizz and I and we gassed up and I went into there and there were not very friendly looking people in that place that I'm sure if I went in there with the mask, I would have had some sort of words. If you wanted to look up the Redneck Dictionary and see McDonald's and Brunswick, Georgia, it's exactly what you're thinking. So it was quite the intimidation. And I was like,

you know what, I had it. I had it under my chin because I was like, I'm just doing this because I don't want to come. Even the granny that was at the desk looked she had a fucking chip on her shoulder. I wear it when it's necessary. If I need to wear it, I wear it. If they don't require it, I'm not I don't wear it. That's that's how it goes. But most places still require it. So I've been wearing it, but you know, I try not to leave my house that way, I don't have

to wear one. And there you go, and I plan on not really leaving my house until the end of April. Uh, So I just want to also thank for we just say, the rest of the patriots. I just want to thank my aunt and uncle for their guide and their their knowledge and their you know, the fun they had with the girls, and it was it was great, and I hope, I hope to do it again next year because we we love seeing them. It's the only time, you know where they they live in Florida. Everybody else lives up

north or right where we are. Yeah, we always make the effort to do some with them. So I loved I love that time, all right. So this is what else we got going on? This one. I can't wait for. This is a hand picked Queen of Extreme Patreon Extra Opening Part three. We have not done this in a why but it's always a trip. And I have not looked in my dms in months because I am not an IG girl. Instagram is not my thing. I probably

post once or twice a month on there. I don't I'm a Twitter girl, you know, So God knows what's sitting in those dms. I have known, YEA, wait, wouldn't be funny if it was nothing, and we're just like, ah, well, if there's nothing, then I'm not as ever as I thought it was, Oh, this guy was like, hey, why don't you take this and blah blah blah, So we'll see what happens. Uh, And then this is I thought about this is. This is also I've only been home for like sixteen hours, haven't had a lot of time

to think. We're gonna do one more house show before we move on into a big time ECW event. I found yet another Francis and Shane Douglas versus Buelon tale. But this one the Queen takes to the skies and performs an off the top rope move. So wow, yes, so this one is a little different. So that will be this week.
