coasters
Her first one for 2023 raise the roof.

00:20.77
Whitney
Um, I know I was it was questionable when I was gonna get back there for a while you know house house things really wrecked my life. The beginning of this ah this year but um I I decided to book a surprise trip for the girls. We did not take Phil with us. Um. But I felt bad because I'm going back to Disneyland and I had to tell them I'm going back to Disneyland again before I take you for the first time and they were like oh man. So I decided okay well I'm good and they're always complaining that I never so. Surprise them like this is you know they're they're very funny because I'm always like talking with clients and they're like telling me about how they're gonna surprise their kids and they're not gonna tell them till they get in the you know car the plane pull in whatever and the girls are always like you never surprise us I'm like you guys.

01:01.36
coasters
And.

01:16.61
Whitney
It's hard to get anything by them anyways. So I managed to mostly keep it a secret and then we went to the airport and they were like why are we at the airport and they thought we were picking someone up but then Phil like yeah, yes, so yeah, it was.

01:29.53
coasters
Um, all that good.

01:29.79
April
Um, ah.

01:34.21
Whitney
It was good so we got out and Phil got our bags out and they're like wait. We're going somewhere I was like surprise so I I do have a video of it. It was funny though because so they both like still listen it I packed everything.

01:42.58
coasters
Um, did you video? okay.

01:53.20
Whitney
We needed right? and I had to do it in secret. So I was literally like putting things in the car at like three o'clock in the morning because you can't put things in the car before the night before because they're always in the car and you know my kids just don't miss it a single thing anyway. So I did have to lie to them like many times. Throughout the last few weeks like oh that's I don't know well, it's kind of yes I had to I I had to stretch the truth a bit. Um, so it's like oh I don't know who you thought I was talking to on the phone but I was not talking to anyone you think I would be talking to I don't know what? but no, no.

02:13.38
coasters
It's not really a lie. It's it's to give them. It's different.

02:30.75
Whitney
So you know I pack all these things well then we get to the airport and we're we pull all the things out and the first thing they say to me is after I said we were going is ah we don't have our blankets like they're little blankies that they sleep with every single night still and I'm like.

02:46.86
April
Oh goodness.

02:49.79
Whitney
Was the literally. The last thing I was gonna go back in and get and then I just in the chaos of the morning forgot because it's not something I could pack beforehand. So yes I forgot the blankies they both cried for like 5 minutes and then Vivian was like Daddy just go home and get them quick. Well you have enough time and I'm like.

02:57.48
coasters
Right.

02:59.64
April
Right? Ah, ah.

03:09.48
Whitney
So he left he literally like sped off because I think he thought he was gonna have to go home and get the blankets and come back and by the time we got through security I like guys. It's not a big deal like you're gonna be so busy I'm sorry I forgot them my bad and so I text film him like it's okay, we don't need them. He's like are you sure I'm like yes we're.

03:15.34
coasters
Um, yeah.

03:28.31
Whitney
We're all good. So the blankets were nothing while we were gone. We didn't even think about it. Talk about it. Everyone survived but I'm like that was your initial reaction was like I was taking you back to Disney and I forgot your blankets like guys please? So anyways.

03:32.62
April
Good.

03:45.10
Whitney
After that little hiccup. Everyone was very excited. We went and we met some good friends of ours who live in Tampa and they meet us at Disney quite often so we took a little mommy and me trip my friend brooke and her 2 kids and we all stayed at the boardwalk. So. Was very good and they did not know that they were coming so that was also another surprise when we got there. So nope we just ubered over and met them at the hotel. So but she has a little girl who's gonna be 6.

04:05.14
coasters
Oh sweet did they pick up the airport.

04:08.63
April
Um.

04:19.48
Whitney
So she's she's a little bit younger than the girls but they get along very well and then she has a baby who's just under a year old so it was a little different for us this trip because um, we had to take things a little bit slower and we were only there for a few days. Um, but you know we we did a lot of baby swap stuff. And you know it was good for the girls though to get to you know, see how all that works especially since Madeline's always like asking me about a sibling and I'm like well see this is what happens when you take a baby to disney you can't just go you know because we have and then you have to wait for her to get back off when you baby swap and I said this is. Good lesson, good patience and you know, but the girls were great of course Madeline like she loves the babies so she had a good time. Um, but yeah, it was good. We had ah it was a slower trip for us. We did split up the last day because the girls had not ridden like a whole bunch of things and.

05:00.36
coasters
Um, okay.

05:17.19
Whitney
Just said all right? We're gonna go and I bought Jeanie that day and we just did epcot and hollywood studios all day and bounced back and forth and just hit everything that we wanted to hit so that was money well spent and they got to write all the big things that they couldn't ride while we were kind of going around with.

05:25.50
coasters
Okay.

05:35.90
Whitney
But the rest of the group but who's good.

05:36.43
coasters
Um, yeah, sometimes you have to do that Anyway, yeah.

05:42.28
Whitney
Yes, it was. It was fun too. We you know we have a lot of friends that are down there. Um, and you know when I take Phil with me. He's always like stop telling everyone that you're gonna be in Disney Whitney because it's just like we're like bombarded with people that just want to hang out. And you know I love that because that's who I am and he's like okay I am on people overload you know so we met with a lot of friends down there so we spent one day at Uppat just kind of like hanging out with a bunch of different moms and the kids and the kids were playing in the little. Um.

06:03.51
April
Ah, her.

06:18.42
Whitney
Playgrounds that the festival has and it was just a really nice day that day though so we had a good time with everybody and we tried some festival food I took the girls to the behind the seeds tour at Epcop which was another surprise. Yeah, that was fantastic. We had a.

06:30.30
April
Oh.

06:31.36
coasters
Um, oh fun.

06:35.81
Whitney
Really really good time. It was super reasonable I think with our passholder discount. It was like $26 or something per person and it took about an hour and so yeah, we had. We had a good time doing that we learned a lot about everything in the land and i.

06:42.19
coasters
Um, yeah.

06:43.54
April
Mice.

06:54.00
Whitney
I Highly recommend that tour if you can do that it was. It was a good time. It is yeah I just kind of randomly saw it pop up actually.

06:58.50
coasters
I didn't realize it was back. So that's good to hear because I hadn't seen it back on the counter out just outside the land. Um.

07:07.96
Whitney
Pretty recently it was maybe only like a month ago that I booked it because I know they sell out pretty quickly. So I think probably the word is not out that it's a to be booked at the 60 day Mark. So yeah I just I saw one and I snagged it and we had. We had a lot of fun there. They.

07:13.45
coasters
Are.

07:25.50
Whitney
Let you try some of the cucumbers that they grow there. We learned that 2 thirds of everything that they grow there is cucumbers which I think is just the craziest.

07:32.50
April
Ugly yeah random and I don't feel like like it dominates the tour like when you're going to the garden like you I mean I don't know what else they have for gardens that you don't see but it.

07:32.70
coasters
Oh that doesn't surprise me with all the salads that they have there.

07:36.17
Whitney
I know but it's just such a funny like of all the things. No.

07:49.80
Whitney
Um I don't know it was It was just crazy.

07:50.55
coasters
Um, there are more.

07:51.96
April
I Mean it's just funny that it isn't like you know that dominant when you're on the ride and but interesting.

07:59.39
coasters
Well, it could be too that they are prolific growers too.

07:59.40
Whitney
I know it. It was very funny they are it's funny too they have um they have a mold there that they grow their cucumbers in that shaped like Mickey too which I thought was funny. So like yeah.

08:13.27
coasters
Um, oh really I Never saw that for the for the for the cucumbers I've seen it for the pumpkins. But ah, that's interesting I can I know ever Verse eating a mickey cucumber.

08:13.80
April
Um, on.

08:16.40
Whitney
You? Yeah so they do that for the cucumbers show those I just thought that was wild I know so I've never eaten a mickey cucumber I don't know.

08:22.41
April
Mickey Cucumber that would be so fun. Let's see you I know wouldn't it be fun if they had like a small mold so they can slice it vertically so you have like little mickey heads as your cucumber slices.

08:36.15
Whitney
I I know that would be I don't understand they're missing. They're missing something here. Um.

08:37.72
April
That would be amazing for a salad I think that should happen they are missing the vote on that one.

08:42.92
coasters
Um, miss.

08:45.37
coasters
Yeah I mean if they could make like ah a long tube type one that they put it in so it was that so it's like the English cucumber because then if they slice it it would show that way. Um.

08:52.82
Whitney
That's what it is.

08:55.71
April
Yeah.

08:58.28
Whitney
That's like what it is. It's a long tube. So that yeah when they so when you slice it thin. It looks like a mickey head.

09:02.77
April
Um, yeah, oh I haven't seen that.

09:04.87
coasters
Okay, yeah, because I because I was thinking one of the things with cucumbers is you don't want them to get too big because the seeds get kind of crazy and then they get hard and then it's not as good. Um.

09:11.36
Whitney
Right? Yeah yeah.

09:21.33
coasters
So it's It's really this very tight window you have with a cucumber to get the right thing and I love the English cucumbers. Um, that's actually what I buy at home mostly I started bind them because the regular cucumbers that they have not the pickling ones but the other ones.

09:24.12
April
My name.

09:27.40
Whitney
I Do too.

09:39.67
Whitney
Um, yeah.

09:39.78
coasters
They always had wax on the outside of them and there is a reason why they waxed it I don't remember what it is but I can't stand the wax that because I actually like to eat the peel. So I don't want to have to sit there and try and get the that off of there. So um because I'll actually.

09:45.85
Whitney
Yeah, say I do too.

09:47.69
April
I Don't like this.

09:55.62
coasters
I'm not really a slice of cucumber person I like chunks of cucumber because I feel like there's more flavor just like chunked pickles have better flavor than slice pickles.

09:59.20
Whitney
Um, yeah.

10:05.51
Whitney
Yes, true. Well, you would like you should do the behind the seeds tour. It was totally worth it. Totally fun. Um, and I just think it's crazy. There's no dirt nothing. There's grown in dirt. Everything's grown hydroponics. So.

10:08.16
coasters
Oh I would love it.

10:15.48
April
Um.

10:20.58
coasters
Hydroponics. Yeah.

10:22.28
Whitney
And which I mean I knew but like you really get to see it when you do like the behind the scenes thing. So um, it's very cool. Yeah I actually I was I was looking some things up with the girls since we've been home because they sent they send you like with a little sheet at the end.

10:26.77
coasters
Um, yeah I seriously want some of that stuff. It's a lot of money but I would there is a.

10:37.94
coasters
Through her.

10:39.74
Whitney
To take home and it kind of explain some hydrop panics up and my girls are doing 4 h this year this summer so one of the things that we're talking about is hydrop panic. So I'm gonna try to do like a little growing experiment with them here in the next couple weeks and they thought it was really cool too I think they were at a pretty good age because they understood.

10:42.89
coasters
Um, yeah.

10:53.56
coasters
Um, yeah.

10:57.95
coasters
Um, yeah.

10:58.91
Whitney
You know they were definitely the youngest ones there but they were asking all the questions. But.

11:00.35
coasters
Well I mean it act yet I'm sure but I feel like it fits in with their homeschooling too. You know oh why? not? Why wouldn't you.

11:01.22
April
You care.

11:09.59
Whitney
Yes, well you better believe I counted that as a homeschool day I was like this is this is ah definitely a homeschool day. So yeah, was home fun.

11:18.60
coasters
I mean because you they're they're learning a ton of stuff there from that. Um I feel like you know all parts you can learn something from but I feel like epcot is really the one that well epcot Nameal Kingdom Um are the two that I feel like.

11:20.56
April
Are.

11:28.82
Whitney
It is.

11:33.64
coasters
Really can be educational days for kids I Always said that if I had kids in a chicken out of school I would have them. You know, go around and interview some of the cast members in epcot and ask some questions about their country.

11:35.18
Whitney
Um, totally.

11:43.89
Whitney
Um, yeah, yeah.

11:50.23
coasters
And then have them write like a little report on it. Um, and then you know do something like the the living with the land and learn about that. Um, and even the the living seas learning about the fish that's in there and there's so much you can do about that. Um.

12:01.50
Whitney
Um, yep.

12:07.71
coasters
I feel like epcot has so much of that they used to have a little bit more when they had the stuff over and horizons open. But um, you know that's been closed for 1000000 years now um but then of course over an animal kingdom. You have all the the animals.

12:13.57
Whitney
Um, yes I know.

12:17.28
Whitney
Um, yeah.

12:22.22
Whitney
Yes, and we did not even make it to animal kingdom this trip we had 3 I know right? we had we had three days we did we had three days and we were at the boardwalk so we were.

12:28.64
April
Oh my goodness me.

12:29.23
coasters
Um, well you only had a few days. So.

12:38.45
Whitney
We were really just pretty much between epcot and hollywood studios. We did go to magic but literally only for the deluxe hours like we got there when the fireworks started and then that was the we we stayed for that we did get to RTron um I

12:44.80
April
A while.

12:46.90

13:00.10
April
Um, okay I can't I couldn't ride it I would never be able to ride it.

13:01.55
coasters
Able can anyway. But no, but I don't think I mean I'll have to wait for the back seat that can hold larger people.

13:11.60
Whitney
It was uncomfortable and that's the first thing Madeline said was I don't like how I feel riding this I don't feel comfortable or hurt her stomach like it. She was like it was pushed against her she you know I mean she and she's like teeny tiny little thing and she's like this is not this was not that comfortable and um.

13:22.84
April
Um, ah right? um.

13:29.57
Whitney
Yeah I mean it was as everyone has said it was really really very quick of a ride. Ah when you get to the end. It seems like that should be the halfway point where you kind of like blast off again, but that's just it. That's just like they're like okay the ride's over so it was super quick and we were just kind of like.

13:34.84
April
Um, yeah, yeah, um.

13:35.17
coasters

13:55.46
April
Um, yeah.

14:09.30
Whitney
When you're in there like there's like this screen that like disappears and then you can see down to where the ride is and like just it was cool. You know I had some cool things but we were just very underwhelmed like because we were actually going to go back to magic the next day. Um, and I had had a magic kingdom.

14:15.14
April
Are.

14:16.19
coasters
Are with them.

14:28.36
Whitney
Pass for for that day and the girls were like and I did it so that we could get into the Tron queue and ride that again and I did that before our trip and then when we got off of there. The girls were like can we change it to epop you want to just go back on guardians of the galaxy. So I said sure like I'm like you guys don't You're good with magic. They're like yeah we're.

14:28.39

Um, yeah.

14:41.29
coasters

14:47.98
Whitney
Good. We want to go ride get guardians and you know go ride a bunch of things at Hollywood so we we actually spent more time at hollywood than we have like in many trips so it was it was good but we wrote tower tear like 7 times and.

14:50.64
April
Are.

15:01.75
coasters
So have you have you seen? Ah, the the return of the old line King show then? Okay, okay, that's good.

15:10.27
Whitney
I we did see that in December. Yes, we did see that but I haven't seen the nemo we haven't seen the Nemo show since that came back so animal kingdom yeah, that will have.

15:18.27
coasters
Yeah, we haven't seen that yet either we were hoping to this past February but it didn't work out so I'm sure April will get a chance to do it when she goes in June.

15:28.87
Whitney
Be at the top of our list for our next time that we had down there but we just kind of ran out of time and like I said being with friends with like littles. It was just and not that I'm complaining. We had a fabulous time but you just forget how long everything takes even like.

15:38.81
coasters
It's.

15:42.27
April
Ah.

15:45.90
Whitney
Stroller and you know getting all the stuff you need for a baby and um, we like we had a fabulous time but that's just everything was just twice as long and totally totally good for my girls to see too because they're normally just like you know, ah like.

15:54.79
coasters
It's just a different routine and.

16:03.69
coasters
Um, yeah, um, his.

16:03.85
Whitney
Run around like crazy and you know we had a lot of pool time they did swim a lot and they loved you know they kept begging to go to the pool so they loved that and you know it was fun and we'll have to say when we got there I was not booked in a club level room.

16:04.10
April
Um, right.

16:22.77
Whitney
Was booked in a regular room and so I asked them when I got there if they had any club level rooms available because I kept checking and there hadn't been any and they did have one so we ended up upgrading when we got there? Um, but my mistake was before I did that I just said okay well I know your club lounges.

16:24.66
coasters
Ah.

16:30.72
coasters
Um, yeah are fun.

16:42.64
Whitney
Has reopened can I Just go see it. You know I want to take like some pictures and stuff so I went up and I toured it and I was just like oh my gosh. Why am I not staying great so then and the girls were like look they have the chips out and you know, um.

16:46.00
coasters
Um, ever.

16:51.91
April
Oh.

16:57.29
coasters
And you were you were a boardwalk. He said so have they made that room bigger.

17:01.11
Whitney
I was at Board block. Yeah, they have not changed the room itself. No surprising right? It is I will say though they it's it's.

17:08.84
coasters
Um, okay, because that's one of the things. Well, it's so small in there. It's like I think it's like a quarter of the size of the 1 at beach club. It's like a closet.

17:19.90
Whitney
Definitely smaller. Yeah I know I will say though that they they changed like kind of the layout of it inside there and they changed all of the seating so they have like a big corner booth in 1 corner now.

17:34.23
coasters
Here.

17:36.23
Whitney
They pushed some of the other stuff back to the wall where they served the food because they used to be like kind of out away from the wall. Um, ah in the 1 spot and then they put other booths in there. So the seating is a little bit different so it almost felt like there was a little bit more room it. It wasn't so cramped.

17:50.77
coasters
The desk out move it somewhere else. Con desk.

17:56.10
Whitney
The what the conzier's desk is like out in like when you first walk down the hall. So it's not in it is not in that room.

18:02.34
coasters
Oh then that's different then the last time I was there it was in that room when it pretty much like a quarter of the room because it was like 1 of those huge old executive deck type thing and it was on one side was on the right hand side when you walked in.

18:15.54
Whitney
Nope.

18:19.61
coasters
Then you had some couches and stuff like that in the middle and then they had the food against the wall on the left hand side.

18:25.33
Whitney
Okay, so I mean it must have been a while since you have been in the club lounge o because the last couple times I was there in the last couple years it was that those desks weren't in there but the the desks are out like before you even walk down the hall but they actually took the desk.

18:36.59
coasters
Um, okay yeah, um.

18:43.70
Whitney
Right out of that little area. So I thought it was like funny that the cast members were just standing there. They they had a couch in there but I'm like oh they're just gonna make you stand at this like little podium thing. So I Thought that was kind of interesting but those cast members are some of the best that we have. Ever Had I mean and we state Club level a lot I mean that's our thing We love it and I mean we always have a good experience but I feel like this trip. The the cast members in this lounge were just phenomenal I mean they like down to they brought us.

19:08.60
coasters
Um, is this.

19:19.72
Whitney
Um, to go desserts like the night we were in magic Kingdom because we weren't gonna be back for like their cordial hour. Um, so they like we came back to a note in our room and like all these to go containers of desserts because the girls were just like we're gonna miss desserts. Can we can you give us a.

19:24.86
coasters
Are here.

19:37.65
Whitney
You know, can you bring us a cupcake and it was like like boxes of cupcakes and stuff for us so you know it was just it was really good. We had a really good time there with them. So yeah I had called Phil and I was like I made a mistake I searched or I toured the the new club level lounge and so.

19:41.33

But um. You know with the amount we had to pay for club. It just made more sense for us to just get as much money's worth as we could from there I told Fells like we will try to eat here every meal that we possibly can and we did I mean we did very well doing that so it was money must not so other than.

coasters
Yes, they put it in hummus Sometimes yeah.

24:43.29
April
Are.

24:54.88
Whitney
Was okay but I had Vivian try it first and I just about dying because she took a bite out of it and then just I thought she was gonna throw up. She was like gagging and I'm like don't throw up right here in the middle of upca please she's like that was disgusting so that was that was so.

25:11.80
April

25:12.97
Whitney

25:23.82
coasters
Um, so did the other one try it as well. Oh did she not try it. Did she like it.

25:31.23
Whitney
It's not great, but maybe was like disgusted by it so wasn't it wasn't good. It was okay I thought it was okay I wouldn't get it again. I know some people like rave about it. But and I didn't think it was that.

25:33.97
coasters
Um, yes.

25:47.77
Whitney
And we got the street corn over by Mexico which is always a hit. Everybody loves the street corn so that was good but no well they have 2 different ones. They have one that has spice and one that doesn't.

25:53.49
coasters
I Love roasted corn but I don't think I can have theirs. They probably have something spicy on it.

25:53.97
April
Are.

26:06.67
Whitney
Like they put the spice on afterwards. So I'm sure you could just ask them. It's good. It was good. It was really good.

26:07.50
coasters
Um, ok yeah I I love I Love roasted corn on the club and I like it plain too I don't put butter even if I steam corn I don't put butter on it I Just eat it playing because I like the flavor of the corn. So the same thing just the.

26:19.34
Whitney
Um, yeah.

26:25.89
coasters
And it I mean when you're at epcot and you're feeding thousands of people. You can't be as picky with the corn. So like I'm one of those people that when I buy corn I look for the one that has a smaller kernels because they're sweeter and more tender. Um, but I'll do that and I will often you know make grilled corn at home.

26:28.92
Whitney
Um, yes, yeah.

26:38.36
Whitney
Um, and over it.

26:44.70
coasters
So I just soak it in water for a little while then I wrap it in wet paper towels and then put it in foil and then I put it on the grill. It is delicious me too.

26:45.67
Whitney
Is it.

26:53.53

So even if they haven't been working with it if they have a client who's interested. You know they start doing a little bit of research and we have some fabulous suppliers that we work with. And you know we're we're affiliated with Travelators Networks so we have a great partnership there so pretty much if somebody wants to go somewhere. We can find the suppliers to help them to get there and to help them have an amazing trip. So it's not just about. Sending you there.

Started this and now we can't see our life doing anything else. Um, you know the the people that we've met. Um, they are family. Our advisors are family to us and you know it's the chance to do something completely different to have a lot of control over your own life. Whitney homeschool her kids April's available to pick up her son every day from high school I don't know what she's going to do after next year when didn't have to do that anymore. She might she might go a little bit of a depression at three o'clock every day because that means he's thought in high school anymore. He's in college and she won't be doing that. Um, but you know these are the things you can do yeah Whitney's giving us a little bit of a sad face this they get about bo graduating high school. Ah yeah, um, but.

Feelings and just say what came whenever you want because it's your trip. Not mine but guys you can't sleep on epcot for so many reasons besides the fact that they have some of the best rides there now we saw so many characters I can't even. Explain like 1 of the days. Yes, one of the days that we were there when we walked in was probably about I don't know like ten o'clock in the morning. As soon as we walked in we saw daisy right at the international gateway.

35:03.92
coasters
Oh wow.

35:11.60

35:17.64
Whitney
Me grabbed Vivian's hand and I'm trying to like figure out what's going on. Well they took Madeline like all the way to the back area and took vivvi somewhere else. So I start walking back with Maddie and I didn't realize like Mr Sme had vivy so I walk all the way to like the back where the yeah and so I'm like what's.

35:32.83
April

35:36.50
Whitney
I turn around I had to go all the way back and Mr Smee's kind of like standing there like who who does this child belong to I'm like well I didn't know you were gonna just like take my kids and run and in different directions here. So anyways, but the girls thought that was just fantastic.

35:44.46
April

35:53.10
Whitney
So we met every single one of them I have some super cute pictures and videos and then we met the Penguin and that was just the most adorable thing ever and then oh but it's not we didn't It's and it's not in the app. It's.

35:59.91
coasters
Um, Wow. Ah.

36:02.90
April
Now to do sorry Did you see that in the app like how did you know when to be there like just ah.

36:11.92
Whitney
Yeah, it's not like a known thing. It's just one of those things they just come out because also I think that the the handlers of of the characters. They're all kind of in training you know so it's like 1 of those things where they have to kind of you know, come out and um.

36:24.26
April
Um, yeah, oh okay, yeah.

36:27.55
coasters
Um, yeah, yeah.

36:30.86
Whitney
So they're kind of all practicing on meeting people so it was just very random and we happen to be at the right place at the right time. But if you're kind of hanging out in world showcase like I would say just keep an eye out because they come very randomly and that was.

36:44.11
coasters
Right.

36:47.86
Whitney
Definitely a huge highlight of our trip and then the craziest thing happened the first day that we were in apco. We were leaving and we were walking back towards international gateway and ah we were like just approaching where the UK is and you know.

37:06.77
coasters
Um, yes.

37:07.55
Whitney
On the right hand side they have like that 1 tall gate up and they have like a building behind it. They open it for festivals once in a while like on the right before you get to UK walking from like future world area and yeah, it's like never open. It's been open like a couple times for certain festivals and stuff. But.

37:07.91
April
I.

37:20.24
coasters
Um, ah, that's why Okay, yeah, yeah.

37:27.47
Whitney
Anyway, so we're walking and this cast member like approaches us and she's like do you guys like spooky things and we're like what yes we love spooky things like Halloween stuff. She's like yeah we're like okay so she's like come with me so she like takes us back through this gate and. Jack and Sally were back. There. It was literally it was the most random thing I have ever experienced at Disney and brooke and Brooke and I were both just like what and no one else was back. There. It was literally just like me brooke our 4 children.

37:49.60
April
Oh my goodness.

37:55.30
coasters
Who.

37:55.31
April
Wow, That's crazy.

38:06.44
Whitney
And Jack and Sally and they spent like probably 20 minutes just like chatting with us taking pictures. It was so crazy. So.

38:09.51
April
Wow.

38:12.54
coasters
It sounds to me like there may be some new friends of characters.

38:20.17
Whitney
New friends coming to visit come into visit this fall. Ah so but it was very cool and it was really amazing. We're like that. Well that was random. So.

38:21.66
April
Ah, yeah, that's on training. Wow That's amazing.

38:32.31
coasters
Yeah, well, it's almost kind of getting you and gear for Disneyland you know.

38:38.20
Whitney
I cannot wait at Disneyland and how their characters just walk around. But.

38:43.86
coasters
I can't wait to see the expression on some of our people's faces as they see so and so just walk around or whatever people who haven't been there before haven't been there for 1000000 years you know

38:44.80
April
And I'm now.

38:51.72
Whitney
I know. But it's gonna be fun, but it's definitely It's definitely like proof though walking around Disney world that people like they could not just turn their characters loose there. They would just get mauled because people at Disney World are like.

39:01.12
coasters
And super excited.

39:12.15
April
Um, create more.

39:12.80
coasters
Um, well I did actually read something that there that Iger had said that they were hoping to actually get back to doing that. Yeah, if they do it right? They would be fine I mean how many times are they walking to their spots.

39:14.65
Whitney
They're like crazy.

39:14.67
April
And.

39:21.74
Whitney
Um, really I feel like people are just kind of crazy.

39:27.41
Whitney
Yeah I know true.

39:29.63
coasters
And they don't get mall. They always have a handler with them. You know and they do a Disneyland as well and if people if they were roaming more I mean think about it like you have the mad hatter and all the now some wonderland people. They just kind of come in and go out type of thing.

39:38.98
Whitney
Maybe it wouldn't be so like crazy if they just weren't normally out.

39:49.15
Whitney
Ah, yeah.

39:49.16
coasters
They're just kind of random. Um, and so I think that case it was mickey on the other hand that would be a different story. You know Mickey it would definitely the the light would be 5 hours long for that. Um, and and they do keep moving too so that kind of prevents a line from building up too much.

39:53.76
Whitney
Um, yes, agree. Yeah.

40:05.34
Whitney
True. Yeah.

40:08.91
coasters
They are like 10 minutes in 1 spot and then 10 minutes they go to another spot. They do have a schedule they have to try and keep because they'll bring you with them. You know Pato was like come on. We got to go I mean um, but yeah I it in you know in that the the interactions I think are are amazing. Um.

40:12.79
Whitney
Um, yeah, right? Oh I know.

40:28.66
coasters
When we brought my nieces down and what my youngest niece ah was a big fan of Donald and our first day in magic came and we didn't see him I was hoping to actually see him at Hollywood studios. But apparently he's not at his spot where he used to be yeah and so.

40:42.90
Whitney
All like right in the front. Yeah huh.

40:48.22
coasters
We were hoping to see him there so I was really hoping to get him there. You know to see her 1 more time and even we looked to at epcot when we were there but there wasn't he wasn't there for a while at epcot so that was kind of frustrating but ah, but with that very first day we came back and he was at the hotel he was right in wilderness lodge.

40:52.40
April
Are.

41:03.24
Whitney
Oh so care some gift.

41:07.99
coasters
And so we came back and just to look on her face. You would have thought that she just got off the best roll coaster in the world. She actually got a little shy which is very unusual for her. This girl is not shy but she was a little little shy there for a little bit. Um and then the older niece. Ah.

41:12.52

April
Are.

41:43.32
Whitney
Ah, so cute.

41:46.87
coasters
It's amazing and and don't I think it's important for people not to discount the character interactions for older kids you know? Yeah, but I mean if you're planning for kids who have never been before or whatever like my old niece I I Forget how old she's now.

41:53.91
April
Um, yeah, and adults. Absolutely.

42:39.77
April

42:49.36

44:47.24
coasters
So I Why do I not know where this is this lounge. You're talking about.

44:52.14
Whitney
Because it's literally just like in sunshine seasons in the land pavilion. It's literally just like they took the far corner seating and they just blocked it off so you have to like scan your passport your band as a passholder to sit there.

44:55.73
coasters
Yeah.

45:07.41
coasters
Um, ah oh.

45:09.50
Whitney
It's not really like its own thing. It's just like off to the side but you know they painted like a mural that says like annual passholder. So but the girls thought it was fun. They're like oh this is and we sat at a figment table because you know Madeline loves figment. So.

Go everything went very smoothly until I got to the airport at five o'clock and it said my flight was delayed until. You know like it was like a 2 hour delay so I was like okay and then about 15 minutes later it was a 4 hour delay and then about 10 minutes after that it went back to normal time so I was like okay, good.
