Picture this: you're excitedly walking down Main Street, U.S.A. when suddenly, the skies open up and unleash a Florida downpour that would make Moana's ocean look tame. Or perhaps you're melting faster than Olaf in summer as the thermometer climbs past 95°F. What do you do when Mother Nature throws a wrench into your carefully planned Disney day?

Our latest episode dives deep into surviving (and thriving!) during extreme weather at Disney parks. From the clockwork afternoon thunderstorms of Walt Disney World to the rare but bewildering rain showers that paralyze Southern California visitors at Disneyland, we share stories, strategies, and solutions for making the most of any weather conditions.

We kicked off the episode sampling the appropriately named Category 5 drink from Hurricane Hannah's at Disney's Beach Club Resort—a powerful concoction featuring spiced rum, banana rum, peach schnapps, and a dangerous float of Gosling's 151. At $15.50, this three-and-a-half-shot marvel might just be the best tropical drink on property, providing liquid courage for whatever weather challenges lie ahead.

Whether it's creating your own impromptu "water park" during heat waves, channeling your inner Gene Kelly during downpours on Main Street, or knowing exactly which indoor shows to target when lightning strikes, we've developed survival strategies through years of sweaty, soggy, and occasionally freezing Disney adventures. We share our favorite hiding spots when the weather turns, the best quick-drying footwear options, and the simple hotel room hack that will save your vacation when your shoes get soaked (hint: it involves washcloths!).

From serious hurricane protocols to lighthearted Disney character weather-inspired bounds, we cover the full spectrum of preparing for and embracing whatever Mother Nature throws at you during your Disney vacation. Remember, some of the most memorable park moments happen during unusual weather—fewer crowds, unique photo opportunities, and stories you'll be telling for years to come.

Subscribe now and never let weather rain on your Disney parade again! Share your own extreme weather Disney stories with us on social media—we'd love to hear how you've weathered the storms at the Happiest and Most Magical Places on Earth.

Here's who we are and what is in store for you

Speaker 2 (00:13):
Hurricane Hannah's, which is the poolside bar at
Stormalong Bay.
Thank you At Beach Club.

Speaker 1 (00:18):
Beach and Yacht Club.
I said I got this and thentotally messed it up.
So this Category 5 drink.
Maybe it's because I alreadyhad two drinks in this Category
5.
Yes, and it is a whopper.
It's made with Captain Morgan'soriginal spiced rum creme de
banana, peach schnapps, orangeand pineapple juice and a splash
of grididine, with a float ofGosling's 151 rum, and it's sold

(00:40):
for $15.50, which is a greatprice for this drink, because
it's amazing.

Speaker 2 (00:46):
It is.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
How do we make it Aaron?

Speaker 2 (00:48):
So we went shot of.
Let me pull up the.
Here we go.

Speaker 1 (00:52):
We're not ready for this episode.
People, we did a shot of spicedrum.

Speaker 2 (00:55):
We didn't do the creamed banana.
We switched that up because wehave banana rum.
So a shot of spiced rum, shotof banana rum, one shot of peach
schnapps, shot of pineapple andorange juices, each splash of
grenadine.
And then we did a half ouncefloat of the Gosling's 151 rum,

(01:16):
yep.
So this has got the equivalentof three and a half shots.

Speaker 1 (01:18):
It is so good, it's very good, it's worth every shot
.

Speaker 2 (01:21):
The peach adds a difference that we don't find in
a lot of the other fruitydrinks that we've had the
addition to peach, because we'vehad banana rum the Bahama Mama
had banana rum, pineapple yeah,this is right up there.
But this throwing in that peachon top of it, yeah, and the
grenadine, which is pomegranate,some different flavors yeah,

(01:45):
could this be the best tropicaldrink at disney?

Speaker 1 (01:47):
it could be, it could be, really think about it.
I don't know this is reallygood.

Speaker 2 (01:52):
I was so surprised we might need to revisit the lapu
lapu we might?
Yeah, for we decided for ourone year anniversary episode
we're going to talk about topfives, top five drinks.
Should we just do that for ourepisode?
Drink all five, have fivedrinks, top five drinks.

Speaker 2 (02:20):

Speaker 2 (02:50):
Well we have all the fixes, we have all the stuff.

Speaker 1 (02:52):
She might need one tonight, yeah, okay, so today
we're talking about extremeweather survival at Disney.
Yes, and we probably took adifferent route on this one too,
like we usually do.

Speaker 2 (03:02):
I went a little, I think a little more serious on
this one.
No, I didn't go serious at all?
You didn't at all, and I thinkyou should kick us off because,
I don't know, for some reason mybrain just couldn't go funny.
I don't know.
Yes, couldn't go funny.

Speaker 1 (03:17):
I don't know if I went funny either.
I think you're on the old man.
Who knows if I Funny to me andfunny to other people are whole
different things, so who knows?

Speaker 2 (03:24):
what's funny is but we did do different categories
of weather right.

Speaker 1 (03:29):
Right, I did that.
I just kind of lumpedeverything in, like you're at
the parks and the weather sucks,yeah Right, what are you going
to do?
So mine are.
It's hot, it's cold, it's rainy, whatever it is in the park.
Lightning hurricanes Right.
What are you gonna do?

(03:50):
Yeah, if the park's like that,right, you're in the park anyway
.
Make the most of it how youmake the most of the extreme
weathers.
Yeah, that's what I did, yeah,right?
So I just did have fun with it,right, uh-huh?
So my first one is to createyour own water park oh yes,
that's a good idea there's waterfeatures everywhere.
Now I don't recommend this fordisney world so much because of
the snake and alligator idea.

(04:11):
On a lot of the areas, likeyou've heard, the resort and it
gets too hot.
You're not gonna jump in thewater no right, but I recommend
this anywhere else.
Now.
I recommend with the caveat ofyou could get kicked out of the
park for anything I say todayyes, so don't.
Right, so probably don't do it,but I recommend this from the
funny aspect of there'sfountains and water features

(04:31):
everywhere at Disney Right,splash around and have some fun
and cool off.

Speaker 2 (04:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (04:36):
And get extra points if you wear one of those
inflatable duckies around thepark with you oh, I think so.

Speaker 2 (04:41):
Or the ar with you oh I think so.
Or the armbands.

Speaker 1 (04:43):
Or the arm.
Oh, those are cool.

Speaker 2 (04:45):
Yeah, those little floaties.
Yeah, wear some floaties yeahwear some floaties and chill in
the park.
Take your shoes off, put themin the water features.

Speaker 1 (04:53):
Right, just jump in a water feature.
Yeah, splash around a littlebit.

Speaker 2 (04:56):
Jump into Grizzly River Running, just float down
the river.

Speaker 1 (05:05):
Right, have it a lazy river, we don't need a sneaky
boat.

Speaker 2 (05:07):
Yeah, ride the conveyor belt to the top Swim
through pirates.
I was actually thinking like,if you took out everything, what
would it be like to go throughGrizzly River Run as like a
float ride?
I don't know or a lazy river, anot-so-lazy river.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
I never thought of it that way, I don't know.
Or a lazy river, a not-so-lazyriver.
I never thought of it that way,I don't know, I think the same
version at Disney World would bea lot tougher to float down.

Speaker 2 (05:34):
Yeah Well, it's bigger, it's wider.

Speaker 1 (05:36):
Yeah, and the drop's bigger it is, it gets you
extremely wet.
So that's my first one.
Okay, do you want me to justkeep going?

Speaker 2 (05:42):
Yeah, keep going.
Okay, we're just going to do itlike that again.
We can give him some advice atthe end with my stuff.

Speaker 1 (05:47):
Okay, perfect, perfect.
My second one is titled Do youWant to Build a Snowman For,
when it's really cold.
No, oh, it's too hot outside.
Oh, it's really hot.
Channel your inner Elsa andjust start singing.
Let it.

Speaker 2 (06:07):
Go around the park.
There you go.
Your imagination will cool youdown.
See, now I thought you weregoing to go.
If it's really, really hot, youcan get free water.
You can get free ice water.
So you could just go get awhole bunch of ice, like a whole
bunch of ice Maybe.
Bring a bucket with you intoDisneyland, Fill it and then
just smash it.
Keep smashing it until it turnsinto snow cone type ice and you

(06:29):
could literally build a snowmanwith it.
Right, Do that on hot day.

Speaker 1 (06:33):
Yeah, and then roll around on it.
Cool off, roll around.

Speaker 2 (06:37):
I'm in the snow, I'm in the snow, and if it's really
hot, just take off your shirtand walk around.
Yeah, cool off, hot, just takeoff your shirt and walk around.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
Yeah, take it off.
Make an ice angel.
Yeah, do an ice angel inFantasyland.

Speaker 2 (06:50):
And walk up to a random cast member and ask them
to put some lotion on you, somesunscreen lotion, because that's
important, and they know thatthat's important.
Okay, it can help you.

Speaker 1 (07:05):
Hey, it's hot out, it's sunny, we're gonna kick
down the park in every way.

Speaker 2 (07:09):
You need to stay so you don't get sunburned.

Speaker 1 (07:12):
I have three more ways to kick down the park.

Speaker 2 (07:15):
I think so Okay.

Speaker 1 (07:16):
My next one's called singing in the rain.
Okay, so it's pouring down rainand you're on Main Street.
You're at Magic Kingdom, takeout your umbrella.
So it's pouring down rain,uh-huh, and you're on Main
Street.
Yeah, okay, you're at MagicKingdom.
Yeah, take out your umbrella.
Right and just an impromptuentire singing of the rain song
down Main Street with the lightposts.

Speaker 2 (07:35):
Stomping in the water .
Stomping in the water, yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:38):
Dancing or spinning around the lampposts, I think so
.
I mean I might do that anyway.
Yeah, when it's not raining.

Speaker 2 (07:45):
I don't think you could get kicked out for that
one.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
You can't get kicked out for that one, that's fun.

Speaker 2 (07:49):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (07:50):
You can't do shows right.

Speaker 2 (07:53):
Now what would be better is if you wore a suit and
tie, while you did it with anovercoat.
Yeah right, Because I thinkGene Kelly had the whole suit on
.

Speaker 1 (08:04):
I think he did too.

Speaker 2 (08:05):
And a fedora yeah.

Speaker 1 (08:06):
Don't forget your fedora when you go to the parks.
Don't always wear a fedora,yeah, I should get a Disney
fedora.

Speaker 2 (08:13):
It wouldn't block the sun off my neck.
That would be a good hat.
Yeah, I have a straw Panamathat I've never considered
wearing.

Speaker 1 (08:19):
I have a big floppy theme park hat that just doesn't
work at Disney World the sameway it does at Disneyland,
because it's so hot it getsmuggy, oh yeah.

Speaker 2 (08:27):
It cooks your brain.

Speaker 1 (08:28):
I know.
That's why I bought that justcap, yeah, the Mickey Mouse hat
last time.
I don't know what I'm going todo next week.
I don't know.
I haven't decided yet.
It won't be as hot.
I know, northwesterners, it'smuggy there.
Oh yeah, yeah, it's a differentthing, right.
So it just got so hot I had totake it off all the time, which

(08:49):
I don't do at Disneyland.

Speaker 2 (08:51):
No, I don't know, interesting, I'll have to think
about that.

Speaker 1 (08:54):
Okay.
My next one, okay, Is calledAladdin at Disneyland.
Okay, okay, so you're Disney.
You Disney bound Aladdin, right, but you just take a bunch of
towels and wet them and put themon top of your head.
What do you think?

Speaker 2 (09:09):
That's a good idea, yeah, that doesn't get geeked
out either.
So well, what I was going tosay.
Are you, disney, bounding poorAladdin or rich Aladdin?
You're trying to stay cool, Idon't know.

Speaker 1 (09:21):
That was my only thought.

Speaker 2 (09:23):
I think he's waiting until he's rich before he wears
a turban.

Speaker 1 (09:26):
Yeah, so I guess it's rich-aligned then.

Speaker 2 (09:28):
But see, then just wear a skimpy little vest over a
bare chest If it's hot.
What's your shirtless thinghere?
I don't know, you're the onewho brought it up, I didn't
bring up shirtless.
You brought up a lab.

Speaker 1 (09:42):
You keep having guys taking their shirts off at
Disney.

Speaker 2 (09:44):
That's your whole thing.
Well, when you go to Disneylandyeah, I don't know, I don't
know where you're going there'sa lot of women there who are
pretty darn close to shirtlessthe prostitutes of Disneyland.
What See, when you go a lot,you start noticing that there's
some questionable clothingchoices when it gets hot at

(10:05):
Disneyland.

Speaker 1 (10:06):
You have a lot of shirtless guys.
I don't know.
I think you've been watchingtoo many Small World videos.

Speaker 2 (10:10):
I think, yeah, the guy walking around naked See, he
was shirtless people.
So I don't know.
I could see a lot of the broswho work out a lot wanting to
Right and then take pictures ofthemselves yeah, Like they're in
the gym.

Speaker 1 (10:26):
Right, yeah, indiana Jones is that way, ladies.
Yeah, they do the flex one.
They do the flex one.
Indiana Jones is over there.
Okay, so that was my AladdinAladdin idea.
I had him with a shirt on.
I don't know, I didn't think ofthe shirt off thing.

Speaker 2 (10:42):
But that's the whole thing about Aladdin, Right?
My whole idea was he's notwearing a shirt.

Speaker 1 (10:46):
My whole idea was put the wet towel on your head.
And then I looked up a pictureof Aladdin online To make sure
he had.

Speaker 2 (10:52):
A wet towel on his head.
Yeah well, A turban, A turbanright.
And then I went with that.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Yeah.
So my last one, okay, my lastone is to use the force.
Okay, so you walk throughGalaxy's Edge Okay Right and you
go to random people and use theforce and said you are now
cooler.
Yeah, you are cooled down.

Speaker 2 (11:15):
It works on the weak minded.

Speaker 1 (11:16):
It'll totally.
It'll totally, it'll right.
Any stormtrooper-looking person?

Speaker 2 (11:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:21):
They'll go 10 degrees cooler right there by
temperature it works.

Speaker 2 (11:25):
Yeah, weak-minded, just wave your hand in front of
their face.

Speaker 1 (11:27):
You're a cooler.
It's 50 degrees outside.

Speaker 2 (11:33):
This isn't the humidity you're looking for,
right?
This isn't the humidity we'relooking for.
That's a shirt You're free toleave.
You're free to leave, yeah.

Speaker 1 (11:44):
This is the humidity you're looking for.
It's a shirt, yeah, that's alegit shirt.
You know who I don't want tohear say that?
Who Is the guy that's playingLuke Skywalker at Disneyland
right now?
He's all over the internet andhe looks nothing, not even close
.
It's not even close.
I mean, come on, I'm all forhaving characters at Disney, but

(12:05):
get it.
I mean, come on, don't do ituntil you have someone.
I haven't watched the videos, Ihaven't heard him talk.
I just saw pictures of him andI stopped there and I got.

Speaker 2 (12:17):
I went along my day Because I don't like it it's
tough, though, when you don't,when you have a very specific
like ray I've never had aproblem with ray in the parks
I've seen a couple that are notthe most ray looking rays yeah,
but not like that much I meanhe's not even close he.
He looks like a Mormonmissionary.

Speaker 1 (12:45):
I can see him in a little white shirt,
short-sleeved shirt with a tie.

Speaker 2 (12:47):
I'm trying to talk you into joining the force.
Excuse me, sir, do you have afew moments so I?

Speaker 1 (12:51):
can Talk to you about the Rebel Alliance.

Speaker 2 (12:53):
Talk to you about the Rebel Alliance Can.

Speaker 1 (13:05):
I share with you about the Church of Latter-day
Jedi Knights.
Oh, I hope this isn't a fin toanyone.
It's too funny not to saythough.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Okay, I need to talk to a few people before I go on
my two-year mission trip toAlderaan, to Coruscant.
Well, now I have to go toCoruscant because they blew up
Alderaan.
Yeah, we can't go.

Speaker 1 (13:31):
My mission got canceled to Alderaan.
Okay, that was interesting.
I've got some other ideas thatare popping into my head for
show ideas.
Oh, okay, that was interesting.

Speaker 2 (13:40):
That was a.
I've got some other ideas thatare popping into my head for
show ideas.
Anyway, they could be veryoffensive.

Speaker 1 (13:45):
Let's not have Luke without a shirt on.
No, no, no, that's all I had.
I mean, I really struggle withthis idea.

Speaker 2 (13:52):
So along those lines, you could do like a Mary
Poppins day when it gets reallyhot, where you wear all white
and you carry your parasol.
Okay, yeah, that's good.
That would be a good Disneybound for when it's hot.
Right With girdles.
Ladies, nothing cools you offbetter than a girdle.

Speaker 1 (14:15):
Who came up with that word?

Speaker 2 (14:17):
And some hoop skirts.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Why is a girdle a word?
Oh, geez, okay.

Speaker 2 (14:26):
Well, I'm trying to tie it into gird your loin, but
I don't see it as a girdle.
Just say girdle.

Speaker 1 (14:33):
That's what you have to say, right?
Yeah, yeah, I don't know.
I just think that surviving theheat's part of Disney.
It is Right, so you shouldn.
I don't know, I just think thatsurviving the heat's part of
Disney, it is Right, so youshouldn't expect that the only
the extreme weather is like ahurricane, which you don't have
to really handle, right, becauseDisney's great at hurt.
They lock you in your room.
They're good at it, right?

Speaker 2 (14:54):
Yeah, they will lock you in your room or your hotel.

Speaker 1 (14:59):
Your hotel room, Right your hotel area.
They'll have food in the lobbyand stuff in the lobby for you
Do.

Speaker 2 (15:02):
They even let you go to the lobby.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
Sometimes it depends on the hurricane.

Speaker 2 (15:07):
How much it blows, but there's lots of heat, all
hurricanes blow.

Speaker 1 (15:11):
When Disney closes?

Speaker 2 (15:12):
Yeah, because that blows Heat, there's monsoons,
hurricanes Lightning, monsoons,hurricanes lightning.
So you?

Speaker 1 (15:17):
have all these different aspects is what you
came up with all these different?

Speaker 2 (15:21):
There's a lot of different, like the most, one
are the heat and then the superheavy rains, right, but then
even the rains in Disneyland,because people are not prepared
for it.
No, they're not.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
They're a perverse sprinkle.

Speaker 2 (15:36):
I have never been around more unprepared people
for rain than SouthernCalifornia.

Speaker 1 (15:43):
Oh yeah, Just driving in Southern California in the
rain is horrible.

Speaker 2 (15:48):
It's like they're driving on ice.
When I first started yeah, itis, I know it's crazy when I
first started working inSouthern California, we were two
weeks in and they actually sentus all home at noon one day
because of the big rainstormthat was coming in, so that
there weren't going to be anyissues.
And I'm looking and I'm likeBig rainstorm.

Speaker 1 (16:10):
We're expecting one and a half inches next 24 hours.

Speaker 2 (16:14):
That's how much rain they were expecting, I know, and
I was like wait a minute, whatAre you serious?
We're going home for arainstorm.
I was looking at them like amidwesterner looks at us.
When we, we cancel everythingbecause it's two inches of snow
exactly what I was just thinking.
Yeah, it's like you got twoinches of snow.
You have to shut down the city,right, yeah?

(16:35):
And then we try to justify it.
So then they're trying tojustify why it's important to
shut down everything.

Speaker 1 (16:42):
Well, I mean, I agree with their justifying it
because of how they drive in it.
Yes, I flew into LAX one timeand had to drive down to San
Diego.
Okay, okay, I got a rental car.
My company got me a rental carand I had to drive down to San
Diego and it was raining when Iflew in at nighttime.
I flew down to san diego and itwas raining when I flew in at
nighttime.
I flew like at 9 10 pm, okay,pouring down rain in la.

(17:04):
It was the hardest drive I'veever had on i-5 in my entire
life and I've drove with.
I've drove outside where I'vehad to chip off ice off my truck
after work, just to get homeyeah, right, where it's thick
ice, where you can't just likedo anything but chip it off.
Yeah, and then drive in the iceall the way home Right At like

(17:24):
five miles an hour and that wasthe worst drive I've ever had.
I think I can't believe Isurvived.

Speaker 2 (17:29):
They don't design anything for water to drain off
there.

Speaker 1 (17:33):
There's sandy water everywhere, so I mean it does
make a little sense, that's fair.
But it's still, it's still thepeople that do it.
Yeah, because there's ways todrive.
I mean, as long as it's not ariver or a lake, there's ways to
drive in a little bit of water.

Speaker 2 (17:49):
Oh, yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:50):
To avoid it and to drive slower and to figure it
out, instead of just going atcrazy-ass speed and acting like
the water should just go.
This isn't what belongs in LA.
Yeah, this is the water's fault.

Speaker 2 (18:05):
Hydroplaning.
That's not a real thing.

Speaker 1 (18:07):
That's the rain's fault for being here.
It's not my fault for gettingthe wreck.

Speaker 2 (18:11):
Hydroplaning's a myth .
It's a conspiracy.

Speaker 1 (18:16):
Okay, so you have different weathers, weather
ideas.
You know it was funny how tosurvive them.

Speaker 2 (18:20):
I looked up the the weather for orlando, because I
mean, really southern californiacan have some cool days.
You just wear a sweatshirt andit can have some real hot days.
But when it's really cold orit's raining or it's really hot,
people don't go to the parks insouthern california.
I loved going when it was 105.
Because no one was there.

(18:41):
Because no one was there, itwas great.
I'd go get a drink, a cup ofwater.
I'd go on a ride, go getanother cup of water, go to a
show, go get another cup ofwater, and it was my whole day.
But Florida just playsdifferent.

Speaker 1 (18:57):
Oh yeah, you can't not go because you never know
what's going to happen.

Speaker 2 (19:02):
But they listed December, january and February,
so the average temperature is 70to 74.
Now, granted, you can get somesnow and some freezing, like you
did this last year.
It actually snowed in Florida.
They listed that as comfortableand then it went up to a
sweltering category, which weare going to catch the first

(19:22):
part when I go on my trip inJune.
You are the sweltering category.
From like noon to six o'clockit will be sweltering.

Speaker 1 (19:34):
That's the best word for that.

Speaker 2 (19:36):
A category of heat called sweltering.

Speaker 1 (19:38):
That's the best word for it, though.

Speaker 2 (19:40):
But I'm okay with it.

Speaker 1 (19:41):
I love it.

Speaker 2 (19:42):
Having gone twice in early September, it's still
sweltering, sweltering.
Right in the middle ofsweltering.

Speaker 1 (19:51):
You get a couple of rain breaks.

Speaker 2 (19:53):
Yeah, to cool you off .

Speaker 1 (19:55):
You always get that 3 , 4 pm rain.

Speaker 2 (19:57):
So that's the weirdest thing about the rain
it's cold rain.

Speaker 1 (20:01):
It might be hot, it's big rain.

Speaker 2 (20:03):
It's big rain but it's cold rain and we grew up in
rain so you can be freezing todeath after a good rainstorm,
like when we were walking aroundand we got wet.
It felt cold when we werewalking around during Mickey's
Not so Scary.

Speaker 1 (20:18):
Well, I kept stepping in puddles when we were walking
around during Mickey's Not soScary.

Speaker 2 (20:22):
Well, I kept stepping in puddles.
That sucked.
That was my fault.

Speaker 1 (20:24):
It rained so hard that it can't run off fast
enough.
I stepped in the wrong places.

Speaker 2 (20:27):
It rained so hard that it can't run off, so you
have no choice but to walkthrough four inches of water.
So there's a good reminder Wearthe shoes that dry quickly.

Speaker 1 (20:37):
I stepped in the same puddle twice though.

Speaker 2 (20:40):
Tomorrowland.
I know I forgot about that.

Speaker 1 (20:44):
You walked in the same exact one.
I just did this again and youwere like crap.
Right when I stepped down Inoticed where I was stepping.

Speaker 2 (20:52):
And then, like it was a few minutes later, we were
walking out and then you steppedin the exact same puddle Right.

Speaker 1 (20:57):
so we got the candy cane ice cream or the oh yeah,
candy cane, the candy corn,candy corn ice cream.
Candy cane, candy corn.
Yeah, candy ice cream yeah thecandy corn ice cream.
We went in there.
I stepped in the puddle.

Speaker 2 (21:10):
We got the ice cream one time the same exact puddle
and you weren't even rewardedwith good ice cream.
It was okay, I liked it.
Yeah, it was really sweet.
It was really sweet.
Hey, candy I love, but I'mcandy corn, I love candy corn,
candy corn's.

Speaker 1 (21:24):
Okay, that it was the other stuff that they put some
sort of the ice cream was theorange ice cream they had.
Was really sweet with it andthere was some sort of purple
like magic shell yeah type stuffthat was really waxy yeah, but
the ice cream is really sweettoo, along with the.
It didn't match up well as faras that goes.

Speaker 2 (21:43):
But see when it gets really hot, yeah, ice cream.
That just justifies ice cream.
It's hot, I need ice cream.
Yeah, what's going on?
I need ice cream.

Speaker 1 (21:53):
Right and they do very well at Disneyland.

Speaker 2 (21:55):
Yes, With the Mickey bars they're like really frozen,
they're like hard as a rockwhen you get them, this is true,
and they don't melt as fast inDisneyland as they do, they
don't.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
In Florida they melt really fast.
That was my point.

Speaker 2 (22:09):
All the ice cream melts instantly in Florida,
right, like they hand it to youand then it turns into a puddle,
yeah, whatever it is.
And then it turns into a puddle, yeah, whatever it is.
So you know, then you're likelapping up the melted ice cream
out of your hand.
Is it because it's instantlymelted?
So, yeah, you got to wear somelight clothing and some so you

(22:31):
dry off, because then you justget soaking wet.
Right, you don't mind gettingsoaking wet.

Speaker 1 (22:35):
No, the good thing we did last time we got so soaked,
we put towels inside our shoesat nighttime.
Yes, to absorb, it workedreally good now.

Speaker 2 (22:44):
Had you tried that trick before?
I heard about it, I never triedit yeah, I think I'd known
about that, but I think I didthat with leo because our shoes
we were soaked at after mickey'snot so scary her and I got
caught in a just a deluge and,uh yeah, we put the washcloths,
rolled them up, put them in ourshoes and that absorbed all the

(23:05):
water out of them works so good?
yeah, because we were fine thenext day yeah, they were, yeah,
we were good to go well, yeah,we were pretty fine the next day
yeah, okay, so I saw that therain is 1.8 inches to 6 inches
per month, depending on the timeof year.

Speaker 1 (23:21):
So from florida, yeah okay, from like and what's the
difference?
What's the difference incalifornia?
Do you know?

Speaker 2 (23:27):
oh, it's like the heaviest rain month is like two
and a half inches okay andwhat's interesting is may and
june can be some of the coupleof the more rainier months, but
you can get more rain earlierand stuff.
It's very gray and drizzly itcan be, in May, may gray and
June gloom in Disneyland.

(23:49):
So yeah, don't go in thosemonths or go, cause nobody's
there.
I used to love June.
On Saturdays I always got goodweather, but anyway I never went
when it rained at Disneyland.
It just never worked out Likethere was days where it would
rain but I couldn't make it toDisneyland, oh, which was kind

(24:11):
of a bummer.
But those hot days it workedout well.
105, okay, I'm going, yeah, butsix inches of rain, that's like
six days of like one inch ofrain and I swear six inches
seems low to me.
I think it's more like 15inches.

Speaker 1 (24:25):
For Florida.
Yeah, I don't know, it rains sofast.
This is true, and it's gone sofast.
It's weird.
It rains a lot.
It's like monsoon style, butit's like an hour, an inch in an
hour.
And then it's done.
Yeah, so I was stationed atFort Huachuca, arizona.

Speaker 2 (24:45):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (24:49):
And it was during monsoon season, one time where
it would rain.
All of a sudden, it's like onecloud would come in and it
seemed like it was 50 inches ofrain.
When it rained, it was likeforever, and then it just dried
up.
Yeah Right, it was gone.
So that's kind of what Floridais.
It rains almost the same time.
It's like a clockwork rain.
They have sometimes, yeah, it'slike the same time every day.

(25:09):
It pours down real quick andthen it's over.

Speaker 2 (25:12):
So the thing about the rain is you've got to have
or lightning, because thelightnings usually come in with
the rain and as soon as there'sany lightning in the area, they
have to shut down all theoutdoor rights, right, which is
why Indoor they're fine, theoutdoor they have to shut them
all down, right which is why Inever got to see Indiana Jones.
Epic.

(25:32):
Yeah, that's the only show thatyou can't do.
That's the one I didn't get tosee oh, you're not going to get
a chance Because we're not goingthere.
You're not going there.
No, yeah, what was I talkingabout?
Oh, I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (25:44):
Planning ahead.
This drink's really good.
It's kicking in, yeah.

Speaker 2 (25:52):
But you got to have a place that you can duck into,
and there's not enough placesfor 30,000 people to duck into
at any park.

Speaker 1 (25:59):
We should have an episode on that when to duck
into, where to duck into,because to at any park.
We should have an episode onthat where to duck into, where
to duck into, because we didreally good, I thought we ducked
into some good spots.

Speaker 2 (26:06):
The only place that we ducked into because we had to
stand the whole time, was overby, uh, the railroad and by
goofy barnstormer you're talkingabout during mickey's not so
scary we ducked in that littlebig area yeah, we ducked in
there and all the chairs werefull, so we had to stand up but
one day we ducked into pizzarizzo's.
We ducked into there for awhile and just hung out well,

(26:30):
that didn't work out because wewe ended up each getting a cup
of the hot joffrey's coffeeright is the nastiest coffee.
Okay, and that's the problem.
Like I said, it's rain.
I don't know why, but it'salways a cold rain, so you gotta
have a hot coffee.
I want a hot coffee and it isgarbage coffee.

Speaker 1 (26:48):
I know, I was just thinking about today for next
week.
How do I have my coffee whenI'm in my coffee?
Because I wake up every day andI get a coffee, yeah Right.
So I woke up today and made mycoffee.
It's like, oh crap, I'm inFlorida next week.
How am I going to have coffee?

Speaker 2 (27:03):
Because you need like for the.

Speaker 1 (27:05):
I don't know, it might be Hotel.

Speaker 2 (27:06):
Keurigs.
Stop at a grocery store and getsome decent Keurig, or take it
with you?

Speaker 1 (27:11):
Yeah, because I mean they don't have good, I don't,
I'm not bought, I'm not sold onEast Coast coffee yet.
No know they did just open adutch bros, which is a local
joint to us.

Speaker 2 (27:27):
Yes, which we love near and I love near and dear, I
don't know, if you do, they'reokay.
Um, they kind of ruin it bylike wanting to talk to me well,
that's so.

Speaker 1 (27:35):
So I'm a I'm a og starbucks person, right?
Yeah, I used to.
I went to starbucks when thefirst was like oh yeah here
right, and so that was myfavorite part was talking to the
person.
They all knew the coffee I gotwhen I walked in the place.
So, that was my favorite part,so I liked the banter with the
barista.
But anyway, dutch Bros is bigaround here.

(27:58):
It started here, right?
I think it started in Oregon.

Speaker 2 (28:02):
But it started right in our area.

Speaker 1 (28:03):
Yeah, all the way down into California, they just
opened one in Daytona Beach, oh,where my son goes to college
right now.

Speaker 2 (28:09):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (28:11):
And so he went the other day to Dutch Bros.
He was like oh, these Floridapeople are going to get good
coffee now.
Yeah, and all these otherplaces are going to close down.

Speaker 2 (28:18):
But I wonder if it's like the churros, where there's
something about the humiditythat messes up coffee.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
I'll try one, because we're going to be in Daytona
next week.
We'll try Dutch Bros to see ifmy favorite coffee is the same
there.

Speaker 2 (28:31):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (28:32):
That's interesting.
That's an interesting take.

Speaker 2 (28:33):
Now, granted, if you go to Riviera Resort, they have
good coffee there.
I will say that that's the onewe found, though, but it's not
joffrey's no, that's the one wefound.
That's the one we found.

Speaker 1 (28:45):
I heard they had good .
I heard they have good coffeeat coronado.
They've got good coffee.

Speaker 2 (28:49):
We didn't, we didn't have it we didn't have it at the
.
They have a coffee bar in the,in the lobby yeah we didn't go
to we're just way on a rabbittrail here yeah, you have your
whole thing to talk about.
Still not really okay I mean,we've kind of I'm good episode
over.
So I mean but this is animportant thing is like where

(29:15):
can you hide out when the whenthe crappy rain, when the crappy
weather hits?
Where can you hide if?
If it's hot, where do you go Ifit's too?
Just, I'm done with the hotmuggy.

Speaker 1 (29:26):
Okay.

Speaker 2 (29:27):
Epcot is all out in the sun but they've got great
like the land pavilion walkingaround in there.
There's lots of indoor stuffand it's kind of cooler around
Moana's because it's all waterfeatures and there's no water.
So there's lots of places andall the pavilions the country

(29:47):
pavilions have little placesthat you can go into.
Now, speaking of when it's hotand everything like that, this
time I am trying the croqueglace you are, you've talked
about that.
I've been meaning to try thatfor like four trips now and I
never get around to it.
Right, that is my goal.
That is the thing I am going totry on this trip.

(30:10):
With my skull bread in one handand my croque glace in the other
.

Speaker 1 (30:14):
What's the thing you took back to the room that night
that I didn't try?

Speaker 2 (30:17):
Oh, what do I need to have the caramel butter bar.

Speaker 1 (30:20):
That's the one you need to get at Epcot.

Speaker 2 (30:23):
Yeah, at the germany pavilion.
Okay, caramel kucha.
I didn't remember that when Igo.
That was so good.
Everything at caramel kucha isreally good.

Speaker 1 (30:30):
That's your joint huh , that's one of your joints it's
see, that's the thing.
It's like lay all I thinkchristy would really like that,
but that's, that's her kind ofjoint too, lay, all uh-huh but
lay all caramel kucha cringlabakery.

Speaker 2 (30:45):
There's a lot of really good little spots like
that all throughout it's I'mtrying to justify how to try the
fish this time.

Speaker 1 (30:54):
I know I really want to it's gonna be a little cooler
, it's my fried chicken fordisney world it is.
I don't know if I'll have it,because it might be just if it's
too hot, I'm not gonna do it.
No, I'm gonna it's if I'll haveit, because it might be just if
it's too hot, I'm not going todo it.
No, it's going to be a gametime decision.
It will be.
It's going to have to be.

Speaker 2 (31:07):
You know, the only thing that you might be able to
do is maybe get it and split itwith Eli or something, or split
it with everybody.

Speaker 1 (31:14):
Yeah, all four of you .

Speaker 2 (31:20):
Just have a extra french fries she likes chicken
strips or french fries so,anyway, you even get chicken
strips, and you got to be ableto get chicken strips somewhere
chicken strips.

Speaker 1 (31:30):
It's on the kids menu everywhere.
Yeah, that's true because whenI first went to disneyland the
time I went right when theystarted dating uh-huh I did a
video for addy and I sent herher my review of the chicken
strips.

Speaker 2 (31:44):
Ah, I've heard they're really good at Backlot
Express and Hollywood Studios.

Speaker 1 (31:48):
Probably.
I had them at Disneyland andthey're all just the same to me.

Speaker 2 (31:52):
Yeah, I think they're all the same Just regular
chicken strips.

Speaker 1 (31:55):
They're good.
Yeah, there's nothing bad withthem.

Speaker 2 (31:57):
They're juicy and they're not too dry, that's a
good thing it's not like.

Speaker 1 (32:02):
Not like a burger at at galactic grill that's one of
the things dry.

Speaker 2 (32:06):
So, speaking of extreme weather, if it's if it's
pouring down rain and you'rehuddled in and it's just super
damp, there's certain things youdon't want to eat.
If it's hot muggy, there'scertain things you just don't
want to eat uh-huh and it kindof the hot muggy kills your
appetite anyway.
So yeah, it's just true, maybelike places to eat when you

(32:28):
don't want to eat because it'syou know you're walking through
the seventh circle of hell.

Speaker 1 (32:32):
Yeah, I didn't think of like.
I don't want to eat becauseit's too hot or too cold.
Yeah, that's interesting, rightso?
But you know, what you want todo is drink, you drink.

Speaker 2 (32:41):
Have a drink.

Speaker 1 (32:42):
Right Anytime.
There's drinks everywhere to behad If you're at Epcot, just
step outside.

Speaker 2 (32:55):
Although Hurricane Hannah's is not open right now
because Stormalong Bay is beingrefurbished the whole pool but
when it is you could just stepoutside the International
Gateway, walk 10 minutes andhave one, because you can walk
up to the uh bar, the pool barright there.
It's outside the gate, anyonecan part, that's outside.

Speaker 1 (33:10):
you don't have to have a and you can have a cat
five yeah, this is amazing it'sa good drink, and we're not even
slurring our word yet, so I'mway further into it than you for
the first time in a long time.

You were on that last one too.

Speaker 1 (33:25):
Yeah, we're really.
It's good stuff.

Speaker 2 (33:27):
Yeah, so you know, just find a place to sit down If
the weather is just not to yourliking.
Go get a drink, go see a show.

Speaker 1 (33:36):
Right, that's what you do you go inside.
I mean, we sat.
That's a really good point.
We sat inside so many places tosee a show during the rain.
Yeah, hall of Presidents,country Bear Jamboree.

Speaker 2 (33:52):
Yeah, go see a show, Go see a show.

Speaker 1 (33:54):

Speaker 2 (33:55):

Yeah, we're show people andthat's a good way to actually
plan your day now that I thinkof it.
So the rains hit in theafternoon generally.
If it's going to rain at likefrom 3 o'clock to 6 o'clock,
where there's pendingthunderstorms coming through,
get your rides out first and atthe end of the day and plan all
