Our Facebook group has all ofthe details, but whether you're
(01:03):
in person with us here inOrlando or from home.
We have a treasure trove of funcoming your way.
So, without further ado,helping me kick off the fun.
Welcome on in, Lynn.
Hello.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Ahoy, christine, I am thrilled to be here.
I'm curious.
I know I'm so excited about thePirate Pact ride history and
all the land lovers andswashbucklers turning in.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So I feel like you're going to be a natural when it
comes to all the pirate slang.
I'm going to probably strugglea little bit more with it, but
we'll see, if we can, how longwe can stay in.
Quote.
Unquote character Lynn, I'msuper excited to get this party
on the road, so tell us, maybe,where it all began.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well, you know, we have to rewind all the way back
to March 1967, which, by the way, is also the year I was born,
the day Pirates of the Caribbeanopened in Disneyland's New
Orleans Square.
So it wasn't just another ride.
Did you know that this was thelast attraction that Walt Disney
personally supervised before hepassed away in 1966.
(02:04):
?
So it's really one of his finalgifts to us.
As far as his handprints on theride itself.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And what a gift it truly was.
I had no idea.
I didn't realize, though, that,beyond the fact that it was one
of the last things that he wasreally personally involved with,
that it wasn't originallyplanned as a boat ride, that is
correct.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Did you know?
The first concept of it waslike a walk through wax museum,
filled with pirate tableaus andstatic scenes.
But after this huge success ofit's a Small World, at the 6465
World's Fair the Imagineerspivoted to the boats because it
had better guest flow and it hada more immersive way of the
storytelling.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I can't imagine it any other way.
And it also became the mostelaborate audio animatronic
attraction ever built at thattime, that's true, over 120
figures, all time to lightingmusic and effects.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
You board the boat, drift through the misty caverns,
sail past skeletons and theirtreasure hordes, witness towns
being ransacked and burned.
It's underscored by Yo-Ho Yo-HoA Pirate's Life for Me, which
was written by George Bruns andXavier Atencio, and it became an
instant classic.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So, lynn, I have to ask how often do you sing that
when you're waiting in the queue?
Oh, all the time, the entiretime that you're in the queue.
So if it's like a 15 minutequeue, it's a 15 minute song.
Sing along, basically.
Well, for 15, yes, okay, okay,got it.
And let's not forget that theBlue Bayou restaurant at the
start of the ride, dining insidethe attraction while lanterns
(03:38):
were glowing and boats driftingpast, that was truly
groundbreaking at that time inDisneyland.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It was very much and funny story about the Blue Bayou
and my husband will hurt meprobably for this, but as a
child at Disneyland one of his,or a teenager, one of his good
memories was being at the BlueBayou and having a very large
burp and apparently it echoesvery loudly and embarrassed his
whole family by belching loudlyin the Blue Bayou over the
(04:05):
Pirates ride, but it's totallyon theme Like I feel like it's
very Pirates of the Caribbean,don't you think it absolutely is
it added to the ambiance?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I'm going to say it was perfect, it was perfectly
timed, that's true.
Now, from Disneyland, we headto where.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
To Disney World was the next one, obviously Our
favorite, our home park, and itopened in 1971.
Well, Disney World, sorry,opened in 71.
The Pirates of the Caribbeanwas not supposed to be a part of
the initial lineup becauseFlorida is so close to the
Caribbean, they were like well,Florida people probably wouldn't
want that and be interested.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I mean I can't imagine Disney World without
Pirates of the Caribbean.
It was one of my absolutefavorite parts.
So of course we were interestedand I mean so glad they brought
it here.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yes, there were such a huge demand, so they went to
work really quickly and openedthe Florida version in December
of 73, which, by the way, was myfirst year going to Disney
World as a child, so I got tosee it within the first year it
was open.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Lynn, your history, your personal history, is so
interwoven and connected withDisney.
I just can't imagine you notbeing a Disney fan.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh right, Absolutely.
So what are some of the changes?
Yeah, there are somedifferences.
One is the queue is longer andmore immersive.
Styled it's more like a Spanishfortress.
It's not New Orleans styled,it's the Spanish theme and it's
kind of inspired by El Castillode Moro in San Juan, which I
have been to now.
(05:38):
It's a very interesting castle,so the ride is actually shorter
and it doesn't have the BlueBayou the drop.
The boat drop is a smaller dropat Disney World and they also
rearranged the skeleton scenesand where they showed up to make
the storyline flow a little bitbetter.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So I mean, clearly I haven't been to Disneyland so I
don't have that comparison.
I feel like I'm super excitedthat they did make that change
of having the queue under someshade.
It's not necessarily under ACthe entire time, but that under
that shade here in Florida Ithink works really well.
Now, since you've been to botha Casillo de Moro and you've
been to Disney World's Piratesof the Caribbean, do you feel
(06:17):
like it's got a little bit ofthat style?
Do you see the similarities atall?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I think of it more like going to St Augustine and
the castle you know it's.
It's that which is also Spanishstyle, so any of the Spanish
style castles would.
It does have that feel which.
Growing up in Florida, it makesmore sense to me.
I never.
The one time I read the one inCalifornia at Disneyland, it
didn't make sense to be in NewOrleans.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Right, right, it probably does feel a little
weird, because that was not theCaribbean.
Yeah, I do feel like theFlorida version leans more into
like that mood and mystery fromthe very beginning.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Now the next thing you know, obviously Pirates has
extended past that.
So the next one they did wasTokyo Disneyland, which opened
in 1983.
And they kind of give us whatwe call the director's cut of
the ride.
It is around 15 minutes longfor the ride.
It's the longest version of theattraction.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Because there's more pirates, more plundering and
more drama, of course, and Iwish that ours was 15 minutes
long, that seems amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, the only times ours is 15 minutes is not for a
good reason.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But the other thing they have is dual loading and
unloading stations, so ithandles the crowds better as
well.
So there are.
There, seems, being that it was.
You know, 10 years furtheralong, in the 80s, they're much
more detailed and the queue ismore elegant.
The narration is in Japanese,which you know it's in Tokyo, so
(07:47):
that makes sense, but many ofthe songs and the key phrases do
remain in English.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I can't imagine Yoho.
Yoho, it's a Pirate's Life forme and any other like variation.
But I would be curious to hearwhat it does translate to.
So since we can't reallytranslate it here in Japanese
now, maybe we could try a littlebit of France, Maybe that is
the next place that they wentand we have almost another 10
years.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I'm feeling a 10 year theme here.
Going In, 1992 is when Parisopened and they flipped the
entire story structure, theentire story structure.
There you begin with the chaos,the raiding, the dueling, the
pillaging and end in the hauntedcaverns with the skeletons and
the echoes of the past.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I really love that inversion.
It feels like it's like itplays in reverse a little bit,
so it starts off with the mayhemand then kind of finishes a
little bit more with the mysteryas you exit the ride.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I dig that, yeah.
And so their queue takes youthrough Fort St Nicholas and the
boat floats past captainquarters and dungeons before the
real, first real scene.
Oh, and also their on-ridedining spot is called Captain
Jack's Restaurant Des Pirates anod to Blue Bayou I don't know
if I said that right with aCaribbean menu, though.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I have no idea.
I say Captain Jack said itexactly right to me, my friend,
I love the Caribbean menu.
I mean, again, being in Florida, we do have a lot of really
great cuisine, floridian and allthat jazz.
But I think I would definitelywant to try their pineapple rum
cake in France and see how itstacks up.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's true.
Now the showstopper, though, ofthe rides is the Shanghai
Disney's Pirates of theCaribbean Battle for the Sunken
Treasure, which opened in 2016.
It's a complete reinvention,using trackless boat tech,
projection, mapping andsynchronized motion.
If any of you have Disney Plusand have watched the
(09:43):
Imagineering story, you canactually see the original
different pieces of the ride,but when I saw this one, the
Shanghai one, I'm like I want togo to Shanghai just to ride
this ride.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Are you serious?
No, I need it.
I feel like that's going to beon my watch list today.
So they have, like, the entireParasite Caribbean with all the
different variations, and itshows the Shanghai as well.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
No, it's the whole Imagineering story.
Ah, okay, but it does talkabout that through the different
parks.
It does talk about pirates,because that is a staple in most
of the parks.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, the Imagineers do incredible
things, that's for sure.
So my understanding that theShanghai Disneyland is not like
a slow float through set pieces,it's like being inside of the
actual pirate blockbuster movies, right.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You actually follow Jack Sparrow as he dives beneath
the waves to battle Davy Jonesfor a sunken treasure.
So there's a 360 degreeunderwater battle, an enormous
screen that blends with realsets and the boats that rotate
and glide independently.
So none of the rides feelexactly the same.
So think a little bit Rise ofthe Resistance if you've ridden
(10:49):
that, but with 360 degrees itliterally drops you into the
underwater.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So I feel like we need to make Shanghai happen for
ourselves.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I know right.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That sounds incredible.
Well, there have been some rideenhancements or changes over
time, depending on what side ofthe controversies you may lie,
but there have been some updates.
In the mid 2000s, the ride wasoverhauled to include elements
from the hit film franchise JackSparrow in multiple scenes you
(11:21):
can see him two or three times.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
A transformed pirate captain into Barbossa and Davy
Jones's voice is appearing as aghostly mist over the boats
happened for a while.
I've also heard rumor that attimes Johnny Depp will just get
on his Jack Sparrow costume andbe on the ride from time to time
as one of the, an addedanimatronic over in Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
That would be so amazing.
That would truly be so amazing.
Now I do know that they alsohad a little bit of an update.
In the 2018 year.
We found ourselves the auctionscene that was once showing
women being sold was reworked,of course, because that would
probably not be the mostappropriate.
So the redhead became red, apistol wielding pirate leading
the plunder.
She's sassy.
(12:07):
I like her.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, it did spark a lot of controversy.
So again, it just depends on Ilike the classics but I do get
it.
It does, you know, have morewoman empowerment, but at the
same time I have mixed opinions,but I get it.
I get it.
I do like the character Red,the tough female pirate, and I
get why you couldn't do that,but it's yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So I'm still on the fence.
It changes a little bit of thenostalgia feels, that's for sure
.
No doubt about it.
For the record, when I think ofall of the awesome costumes you
have, you would make a prettyamazing Red Like if you ever
wanted to Disney Bond as her.
Lynn, I think you could pull itoff.
That's a good point.
Okay, Lynn, I know that you'vegot some deep lore hidden in
(12:50):
your treasure trove, so maybeyou could share some of it with
us.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
This is my favorite actually is that initially they
actually use real skeletons inthe Disneyland ride.
So the Imagineers got them fromthe medical school because the
fake ones looked too fake.
I mean, this was back in the60s, they weren't as good with
making fake things.
You know, nowadays we can makea cake that looks like something
(13:15):
that it's not.
So we have much more technologynow.
Most of those have beenreplaced with replicas, but
there are the rumors floatingaround that one or two real
bones still remain in the bedscene, which is kind of spooky.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I honestly, if it wasn't you telling me this, I
wouldn't believe it, justbecause I just can't imagine
real skeletons.
But I agree with you Technologyhas changed and we could
probably make those skeletonsout of cake, like you mentioned
now, and they would look just asreal.
Do you think they're stillthere, skeletons out of cake
like you mentioned now, and theywould look just as real.
Do you think they're stillthere, do you?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
think that there might be a couple left behind.
I don't know.
Okay, that would be hard to say.
I do know as specific as theyare about knowing.
I do believe they know it's notan accident, like if they're
there, they know that they'rethere.
It's not like somebody justmissed one or two.
If they're there, it's anintention.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Right right Left it behind Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Also throughout the ride there are several hidden
Mickeys, like there's a placewhere the cannonballs are
stacked in a Mickey shape.
So always keep your eye out forthose.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I feel like if there's anybody that could
definitely find the hiddenMickeys, it would be you.
Do you know of the cannonballs,Mickey shaped stacked area or
like?
Have you seen them?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I'm actually not a huge hidden mickey looker.
I mean, really, if I know it'sa specific like certain things,
I will look, but it's notsomething I am very specific
about.
Got it okay.
Another cool thing with thepirates are the audio
animatronics count there's.
You know, like I mentionedbefore, there was over 120
(14:48):
figures in the original version,and always my favorite as a kid
and even now is, as you'recoming through, there's a man up
on the wall with his legswinging, yeah, and there's even
hair on the leg and I wasalways just really impressed by
the fact that it's a hairy,dirty leg.
I like looks like a real dirtypirate.
So I'm always impressed.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I think it's my favorite too, and I'm so curious
if people want to pop in andlet us know if that's one of
their favorites, because it justlooks so incredibly realistic
and, being especially as a kidin the boat, you kind of almost
feel like you could reach up andtouch it.
So yeah, it's one of myfavorites as well.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
The last one is that the Yo-Ho the Pirates Like For
Me song was never actually meantto be iconic but it became one
of Disney's most recognizabletunes.
I'm not sure it probably did aclose run with.
It's a Small World, but Yo-Ho,like you know, they've even
added extra lyrics.
If you've listened to the fullthing in the movies they've
(15:46):
added I I try to listen on theride to hear if I can hear all
of the lyrics that you hear fromthe full version and I have.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I've picked out the really bad eggs one part, but
the rest of them not so muchokay, now I want to actually go
pull it up to see if I can findall the lyrics online, but I do
think that it's got a little bitof earworm, like it's a small
world without being quite soannoying.
So I feel like it's basicallythe pirate anthem of every
generation.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Absolutely so.
You know, one of the things Ithink that's so interesting is,
from the wax museum idea all theway from the beginning to
immersive 4D experience thePirates of the Caribbean to
immersive 4D experience, thePirates of the Caribbean has
evolved with the times, and soit still stays true to that
classic cheeky kind ofswashbuckling spirit that it
(16:33):
started with, which isn't reallynice.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It is for sure.
So our listeners that are rightnow doing the 5K think of every
step like a sail through Disneyhistory.
There's adventure, there'schallenge and there's always a
little bit of treasure at theend.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Even if the treasure is just a cold drink and a shiny
medal, even if you have to makeyour own.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, I mean absolutely.
I'm down with making your ownSome doubloons.
Let's see those best DIYs.
So thank you, Lynn, so verymuch for sharing this history of
one of our favorite rides,Pirates of the Caribbean and I'm
so excited about this entireweekend.
But coming up next, we're goingto turn our compass toward the
big screen.
From cursed Aztec gold toeyeliner smeared legends, Our
(17:15):
movie segment is led by noneother than our cinematic compass
, Sally Wyatt Get ready for theburied secrets, epic battles and
behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Magic.
Sally, you're on deck.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
All right, adventurers, you've sailed
through the ride's history andnow it's time to jump ship
straight into Hollywood.
The Pirates of the Caribbeanfilms turn theme park fun into
big screen treasure, and joiningme to unpack it all is our
Extraordinary League movie queenand your go-to host for film
night and trivia.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
sally wyant, hey sally hey, christine, I'm so
excited to be here.
I love these movies so much.
They're the venture, the swordfights and, of course, like the
famous captain, jack sparrow Imean, how could you go wrong
with captain jack?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
there's no doubt about it, so we're going to get
into it, because this seriesdoesn't just surprise fans, it
actually shocked the industry.
So when Disney announced amovie based on the Pirates of
the Caribbean ride back in theearly 2000s, people were well,
let's say, skeptical.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yes, just because of the fact that most pirate movies
before it flopped.
This one, however, wasconsidered risky for Disney, but
when the Purse of the BlackPearl came out in 2003, it
became like a massive hit.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I am shocked, still to this day, that it made over
$650 million worldwide.
It revived the pirate genre andearned Johnny Depp an Oscar
nomination for playing a piratethat no one knew what to expect
from.
I have to say I can't think ofJohnny Depp in any other role.
Like I know, he's the verynuanced actor.
He has tons of other accolades,but do you see him as like
(18:45):
Captain Jack Sparrow all thetime?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yes, yes, I agree, that's like I think his go-to
movie now is that.
Like there's that and I justthink of like Edward
Scissorhands like his earlymovie.
I just think of like EdwardScissorhands like his early
movie, that's the only two Iheard.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
That is a classic, one of my favorites too.
I can't think of anybody elsedefinitely playing that role.
But let's talk about what madethat first film so special
besides Johnny Depp.
And of course it's because ithad a cursed treasure.
There was ghost pirates thatwere super cool, of course,
sword fights and Captain Jack,who was a hero, who wasn't
really a hero.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Exactly, Jack Sparrow wasn't polished at all.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
He was unpredictable, clever, funny and just chaotic
enough to be lovable.
I mean, that's definitely why Ithink most of us fell in love
with him.
But I didn't know this that hischaracter was based on Keith
Richards, the guitarist from theRolling Stones.
That's when he had kind of asways around like he's been at
sea too long or had one too manymugs of rum.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
And funny enough, which I when I watched the first
movie, I go this characterlooks so familiar.
And then when I heard that andKeith Richards stars as the dad
in later films, as CaptainTeague Jack's dad, that was like
, oh, that's who he looked likeand it made sense.
Yeah, it does make sense.
So let's talk about the othercharacters quickly, just as a
(20:06):
refresher for everyone.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, for anyone that hasn't seen the movies, of
course, and if you haven't, whatare you doing?
You should immediately stopyour run and go watch this, or
maybe jump on the treadmill towatch.
So kick it off, my friend.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So we of course we have the famous Jack Sparrow,
the captain, the trickster andkind of lucky played by Johnny
Depp.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yes, and then there was Will Turner, the blacksmith
turned pirate, loyal, brave andalways a little too serious,
played by Orlando Bloom, andduring scenes when they have a
younger version of Will, he'splayed by Dylan Smith.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
And of course, we have Elizabeth Swan, played by
no other Keira Knightley and asa young Elizabeth, who was
played by Lucinda Dracic.
This character starts as thegovernor's daughter and ends up
as a pirate, queen Fierce.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Completely fierce.
I absolutely love her.
And then, of course, there'sCaptain Barbossa, so much fun to
watch Played by Geoffrey Rush,who again iconic actor, who is
described to him as a mix ofShakespeare and a mix of Looney
Tunes, which actually I see thatas well.
Yeah, I do too.
And, of course, if you'relooking to maybe finish up your
Pirates themed weekend with alittle bit of a movie marathon,
(21:16):
here's a quick tour of the fivefilms.
There's, of course, theblockbuster, the Curse of the
Black Pearl 2003 is when thatcame out.
So there's Ghost Pirates andCursed Gold, dead Man's Chest in
2006, which has the Kraken,davy Jones and the giant wheel
chase scene At World's End in2007, huge sea battles, pirate
lords and Jack's weird deserthallucinations.
(21:37):
And then on to On StrangerTides 2011, which includes the
Fountain of Youth, blackbeardand Mermaids Can't go wrong with
that.
And then, finally, dead MenTell no Tales, ghost Sailors,
young Henry Turner and acallback to the ride's most
famous line.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Oh, and did you know, christine I found this so
fascinating that Dead Man'sChest made over a billion
dollars.
It was the fastest movie toever reach that at that time.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I mean, I can't.
That's like mind blowing.
The amount of money that ittakes to be a billion dollars.
Talk about truly a blockbuster.
Yes, Now, one of the things Iknow you love, Sally, and when
you're hosting the movie nightsfor the league and you pop in
with all the trivia is that youfind all of the really good
Easter eggs.
(22:23):
So one of the things that Ilove about Disney and their
magical movie making is thatEaster eggs are always kind of
hidden within, and this moviepays tribute to the ride in so
many ways.
And here's just a few there'sthe dog with the keys in the
jail, of course, straight fromthe ride.
Of course the dead men tell notales used in the films.
And the ride narration, Ofcourse.
(22:44):
That's what we decided to kindof allude to with the podcast
title here.
The burning town scene, which Ican actually smell when I go
through that ride and whenever Isee it on the movies.
It's a full moment from theattraction.
And then the auction seat,which is nodded to in multiple
films and we can't forget aboutthe music.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
At world 10 a little boy sings yo ho, a pirate's life
for me before a scary scene,which of course I love.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Scary parts in the movies gives me chills same, my
friend same, and it does have alittle bit of eeriness, even
though it is family friendly butsally.
I think that we couldn't have asegment on this movie in the
blockbuster series without alittle bit of a trivia challenge
.
I think it's hard to stump you,but I'm going to try and,
friends, if you are out therelistening right now, play along
(23:33):
with us.
I'm going to give some multiplechoice questions.
First question is what was theoriginal title of the curse of
the black pearl before disneyadded pirates of the caribbean?
Was it?
a ghost ship b treasure's cursec just the black pearl or d?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
c of shadows oh, let me think I I'm gonna have to
guess c, the black pearl I meanyou're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It kind of writes straight to the point.
But Disney decided let's gohave an eye at a Pirates of the
Caribbean later because we needto connect it directly to the
bride.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yes, it makes sense totally, because you need like,
if you see, just like the blackgirl, like you're like, what am
I walking into with the?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
baby 100%, which makes sense.
But sometimes you're like, well, that seems a little obvious,
but no, it really actually makessense that they would need to
add it in.
Okay, I know it's again hard tostump you, but which of these
is not a real pirate ship in theseries A, the Flying Dutchman,
b the Queen Anne's Revenge, cthe Silent Mary or D the Crimson
(24:36):
Cobra?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Oh, I have to say D sounds made up, so I'll have to
go with D the Crimson Cobra.
Oh, I have to say D sounds madeup, so I'll have to go with D
the Crimson Cobra.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
But wouldn't that be a super cool like gladiator.
I don't know masked wrestlername, but you're absolutely
right that one's totallyfictional.
At least it was for thisfranchise so far.
Who knows, Maybe they'll bringit in.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I know who knows, but disney, I can see them trying
making another pirates movie andworking that one in, of course.
So we're gonna flip the script.
I'm gonna have my turn to closeyou and see how much you can
know about these movie seriesokay, I'm a little nervous, but
I'll give it a try, okay so inthe first movie.
What?
What's Jack Sparrow's famousanswer when someone asks you are
(25:20):
without a doubt the worstpirate I've ever heard of.
A, but I'm charming B, but youhave heard of me C, I'll take
that as a compliment.
Or D, says you.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I can actually picture Jack Sparrow saying all
of those.
Yeah, but I think, I think itwas.
But you have heard of me.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yes, you are correct and I feel like some of those
like I know they're in othermovies I just can't think of,
like the C1, like I'll take thatas a compliment.
I can see that being in one ofthe movies.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I can, I can.
It's kind of like that wholewhat do they call it?
Mandela effect, where you can'ttell like what was reality and
what your mind kind of created,because I can honestly see those
all 100% being things thatCaptain Jack's character would
say.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yes, okay, next one which movie introduces the
mermaids who tried to drag thesailors underwater?
A Dead Man's Chest B OnStranger Tides, c At World's End
, or D Dead Men Tell no Talesman's chest B on stranger tides,
c at world's end, or D dead mentell no tales.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Okay, I think I know this one specifically because I
haven't met a mermaid or amerman that I didn't absolutely
love, so I this one stands out alittle bit more to me.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I believe it's on stranger tides correct and I
feel like with that one it kindof gives it away like the
Stranger Tides.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, that's a good point.
That's a good point.
Well, I will say that this alsowouldn't be a full movie
segment if we didn't throw insome of the extra behind the
scenes facts.
And I think, again, that's kindof one of the things that I
love participating in your movienights where you throw in so
much little tidbits andknowledge.
I feel like you're getting usready for Jeopardy.
Yeah, but a couple of behind thescenes facts is that Johnny
(27:04):
Depp wore gold teeth to set andDisney almost fired him for it.
I can't believe that.
I know Cause.
I mean, it makes perfect sense,but I think that he may have
been a little bit too much tohandle.
Since he does, he's a characteractor.
They probably were like the.
Since he does he's a characteractor, they probably were like
the tentacles on Davy Jones were100% CGI.
Bill Nighy acted in a motioncapture suit and I have seen a
(27:26):
little bit of behind the sceneswith that and it's.
I don't.
Truly, actors are more amazingthan we give them credit for
because of how they do thisgreen screen stuff and portray
like it's real is beyond me.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, I've seen some of like, not even with the
Pirates movies, but like Avatarand all those other ones Like
the sea, the sea like themacting and with the green screen
, they have to use theirimagination.
It's completely amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
It really is.
I don't think I could do it.
Do you think you could?
I don't think so.
I'm not that good, honestly, Iwould be like what there's
supposed to be a squid oroctopus or something here,
because all I see is justliterally nothing Like.
I just see a dude in a suitmaking weird noises, or weird
(28:08):
gestures.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Okay, so hit me with some of your behind the scenes
facts, my friend.
So on Stranger Tides, the moviecosts $379 million, making it
one of the most expensive moviesever made.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I could see that too.
I mean 100% right, like it'sbecause of all the different
characters and it was so muchCGI in that one as well.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, I was gonna say I can see it because of the
effects and who they cast forthe movie.
And then Penelope Cruz waspregnant during filming so she
had her sister as her stuntdouble for some of the shots
which I do remember seeing thatsomewhere maybe was behind the
scenes on something, that shewas pregnant for the movie and
her sister was used.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Oh my gosh, I don't even now.
I want to like go look up whather sister looks like.
Does her sister have her own,like IMDB with credits as stunt
double, while Penelope?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
was pregnant.
I want to go back and rewatchthe movie and be like like LLP
or is that her sister?
And see if I got it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, I mean that'll be very interesting.
Well, and, of course, jeffreyRash Barbosa always comes into
the scenes from the left sidebecause he feels like it's his
better side, which makes megiggle as well.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yes, it's like a classic actor thing, yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Which is me on my right side or left side.
This goes to show how much timethey spend like probably
practicing their lines in themirror, where they're able to
figure out what their best sidesare, because I have no clue, I
don't stand in front of a mirrorthat long.
But I'm sure you've heard,sally, that disney has talked
about a reboot.
There was a script, even withmargot Robbie, who I love, but
it's on pause right now.
I'm curious if we'll hear more.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yes, and then producer Jerry Buckhider says
that they're still working on anew movie and no word on whether
or not Jack will return.
I mean, it won't be a Piratesmovie without Jack.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It can't.
It can't Really.
I know there was a whole lot ofcontroversy, but I think he has
to be brought back if they'regoing to do it.
I just can't even fathom theseries without him.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, even if it's like a little brief cameo of
like five or ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It's like something.
Yeah, absolutely so.
I mean, regardless of whetherthey not, whether they do or do
not, it has left a huge mark onthe theme parks, on Hollywood
and, of course, on fans.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yes, and these movies are fun, bold and filled with
magic.
They make you feel likeanything can happen on the scene
.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And they show that heroes don't have to be perfect.
Sometimes they just need acompass that doesn't point north
and a whole lot of courage Withthat.
Sally, thank you, as always,for all of the work that you
bring into movie nights andtrivia and providing us all with
so much fun.
You really do create movienight magic for our training
community.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Thank you so much for having me today, Christine.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Of course, it's always a pleasure.
And now, my friends, it's timefor our final segment of the
show.
There's going to be Grog, Gearand Grub, a little pirate
fashion with a very surprisedguest.
She's going to show you how tochannel your inner pirate with
style and snacks.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
And you don't want to miss it.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Stay with us and remember not all treasure is
silver and gold mate.
All right, Swashbucklers, thisis the part of the show where
we're going to let our hair down.
We're going to slip intosomething that can help us take
down a pirate or two, and we're,of course, going to pour
ourselves a drink.
But we're not doing it alone,because this next guest you need
to buckle up, my friends.
She's at the helm of the DisneyDay Drinkers running team.
(31:36):
She's a legendary ultra runningcoach, a woman who has run over
300 and counting marathons,often in costumes so detailed
that you think she had a fairygodmother on speed dial, or at
least Bart Yasso stopping totalk about the fact that he
still can't get over how amazingher costumes are.
She's also a friend that's sofun that if you run into her on
(31:56):
a deserted island, you're goingto hope that you have at least
two coconuts and a blendernearby so you can sit for a
spell and chat.
Please welcome the one, theonly, the sparkly-dusted storm
of joy and power herself,Charlotte Corher.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Ah, thanks, Christine .
That was a pretty darn goodintroduction, you know, if only
you could see that I have mypirate garb on right now it
would even make it better.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, now what?
I am curious let's get it forsure, right Cause I know you've
been many on many podcasts.
How do we say your last name?
Speaker 4 (32:28):
It depends on which side of the County you're from.
Where I am now, my parents andmy brothers and sisters all say
it differently it's Corrier,corrier.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Corrier.
Okay, we're going to work onthat.
After we have maybe a drink ortwo, maybe.
I just have to loosen up alittle bit.
I'm feeling, yeah, okay.
Charlotte, as I've alreadytalked about, you are the
supreme master of costuming.
Seriously, friends, you'regoing to want to follow her on
Instagram as well.
So, cheryl, I'm going to askyou to drop that in so people
can see your incredible costumes.
And because you are theBlackbeard of Bidzow's racewear,
(32:59):
I'm going to ask you to maybegive us a little bit of history
of what pirates actually woreand how we can channel that into
a running costume.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah, sure.
So I live on the coast of NorthCarolina, so a lot of pirate
history and information aroundhere, so slightly obsessed with
pirates.
But you know pirates they werepractical and scrappy, so you
know they're not.
And scrappy.
So you know they're notthinking about running a
marathon, they're thinking about, you know, being out on the
high sea.
So you know they're gonna wearloose linen skirts.
(33:27):
You know white color, coolcolors, breathable and easy to
move in.
Unfortunately, you know theydidn't have the gear that we
have these days, so they hadlike canvas or wool trousers.
I can't imagine trying to runin that.
They did have like sashes orbelts to carry weapons or tools,
which hey, makes it good tocarry your grog mug or maybe a
little mini bottle in there.
(33:48):
Tuck them in there as well.
And vests and waistcoats.
So lots of extra flair andthings you can bedazzle, you
know.
For their heads, you know theyhave those famous tri-corner
hats, you know, things to keepthe sun off of them and bandanas
.
So a lot of times you can workthese into a costume very easily
.
But just lots of layers, a lotof things added.
(34:08):
You see the pictures where youknow they've got all these
accessories onto their costume.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
OK, now you're saying that you can't imagine running
in wool trousers, though I thinkyou've run in a full salmon row
.
I mean you had a full costumewhere you probably had more
uncomfortable fabrics thatyou've had to deal with.
But how do we funnel all ofthis realistically?
For maybe us that are justamateurs, we're just dipping our
toe into having some more funwith our costuming when we run?
(34:35):
How do we make that more racefriendly?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Yeah, you definitely want to get practical.
I think I've worn, I think,five different pirate costumes
across the years, you know.
So it's just you got to make itfun.
You know, if it jingles,sparkles or flutters in the
breeze, it's fair game, so let'sjust talk about this.
So again with the with the tops, you know, think light colors,
puffiness, puffy sleeves.
(34:58):
Remember the old Jerry Seinfeldepisode about the pirate shirt?
Yeah, so light and flowy.
For the hydration vest, you knowyou can add stuff on.
So that's, you know where youcan attach your grog cup.
And also it's a great place tohide your little snacks and
treasures.
So you know you can do thingsto bedazzle your hydration vest.
The bandana or buff you knowthat's a crown for you.
(35:22):
You can add rhinestones,feathers, fringe, anything you
want to to your bandana or yourbuff.
Gold coins those are fabulous.
To add to a running skirt, youknow, imagine you're running
along and people hear the jingle, jingle, jingle like a loot bag
every time you take a step.
And then also temporary tattoosyou know these are great and
fun things to do.
You can find a lot of this onAmazon.
And, of course, every piratehas a parrot on their shoulder.
(35:45):
So, yeah, get that parrot andpop it up on your shoulder, and
then just fun accessories like acompass or a sword.
And then, of course, we talkedabout the headwear, the
tri-corner hats.
Those are great for keeping thesun off of you and you can wear
it the whole time, or you cantoss it off to a kid if you want
to.
Me personally, I'm head to toe,start to finish.
(36:06):
My costume stays intact thewhole time, but you can make a
hat very runner friendly.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Okay, I mean, I am amazed by how the fact that you,
you are committed when you getinto your costume and you're
going to make it happen, nomatter the distance, no matter
how difficult it is.
So, since you are our piratepro, do you have some tips,
specifically of some of yourcostumes that you felt like
needed some tweaking along theway, since you've had so many
different iterations?
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Yeah, the big thing is just to practice and whatever
you're going to wear, you know,make sure it's not going to rub
or chafe, trip you up.
You know, a lot of times if youhave a long flowy skirt, you
might get tripped up on thatthat flowy blouse that we talked
about, you know it could chafeyou.
So just practice in everythingyou have and, again, try to
think light colors.
If it's going to be a hot raceand you're going, to be out in
(36:52):
the sun.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay, I love this.
It makes a lot of sense.
I think it actually kind oftranslates really well into the
racing runner friendly with thepirate gear.
So I'm excited and I can't waitto see what people come up with
.
I also want to see if maybe wecan find some of your photos and
share them at least with theDisney Day Drinker group,
because, friends, if you haven'tjoined us over on Facebook,
over there there is thefantastic community of Disney
(37:14):
runners that are all abouthaving the most amount of fun
possible, especially withCharlotte at the helm.
But, charlotte, we've talkedabout gear, which I know you're
a pro about.
I think it's important, thoughwe can't really have a Pirates
of the Caribbean themed podcastwithout talking about some of
the delicious treats.
So do you have some favoritekind of Caribbean inspired or
(37:35):
pirate fare that you tend togravitate toward?
You know?
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I mean, that's the whole reason I run is just so I
can eat those fun treats.
Yeah, there's some.
There's some great thingsacross Disney World and the
parks that you can chow down on,right, christine?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah, yeah, I think if you guys are going to Disney
World per se at Magic Kingdom,I'm a big fan of heading to
Tortuga Tavern.
Sometimes you can get theseasonal jerk chicken.
Of course they have somebarbecue pork and some rice
bowls.
I love me some Dole Whip.
I feel like that's as tropicalas it possibly gets and it kind
of makes me feel a littlepiratey as well.
So, of course, heading toSunshine Tree Trails and they
(38:11):
occasionally have a coconut DoleWhip, which I think makes it
super special, but if not, I'mtotally down with the Pineapple
Dole Whip and of course you canget a little bit of a rum float
on it outside of Magic Kingdom.
Even though I'm excited aboutthe Pirate's Tavern that's
coming our way here soon, Epcot,I'm personally thinking that a
(38:40):
drumstick kind of fits with thepirate gear and like I feel like
it kind of goes hand in hand.
It feels very piratey, Like Ijust pillaged and plundered and
now I have a drumstick tocelebrate with.
It's not a drumstick, it's aturkey leg.
Ah, yes, I would call it adrumstick Turkey leg.
I love this Charlotte's like.
No, my friend, you've got thiswrong.
It is a turkey leg.
Okay, Same difference, right,Just a little bit bigger of a
poultry.
I committed a foul, oh good one.
(39:02):
So you're going to go to RegalEagle Barbecue, which actually
is one of my favorite stops, andalso they have some really
great drinks there as well.
We're going to talk about someof the places we can get drinks
at Now.
Over in Epcot there's always agreat festival booth.
So I definitely would saythere's a lot of places to
participate in those festivalbooths.
If we're heading intoDisneyland, of course, Bengal
barbecue, tropical hideaway,those will have some really
(39:23):
great grub for you to get.
They get a little fancier withtheir dole whips over in
Disneyland so they may add alittle mango chili, again that
coconut.
And of course, in Disneyland,Paris, Captain Jack's.
I mean, how are you not goingto go to Captain Jack's there?
So jerk season, mahi-mahicoconut rice, which is one of my
favorites, and rum-baseddesserts.
In Tokyo, DisneySea maybe notexactly on theme, but you can
(39:46):
bring that kind of flairyourself, friends at Cafe
Portofino Also has thoseCaribbean-style dishes.
And in Shanghai, Disneyland allthe way, Black Pearl Milk Tea.
I mean, come on, it's perfect.
Of course there's fried seafoodand island style plates as well
.
So I think that kind of coversthe grub for the Disneyverse.
(40:06):
But, friends, if you have somesuggestions that I may have
missed or you want to go aheadand let me know that you're
definitely all about that turkeyleg versus me calling it a
drumstick, feel free to pop inand let us know.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Oh, Christine, I'm really hungry right now.
I know I, actually I am superhungry.
We should have planned this asa lunch meeting so we could eat
while we were doing this,talking about all this food.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Next time.
Next time we'll have to do that, or we should just record it
live at Disney World.
I mean, that's the better wayof doing it.
Anyway, let's do it.
Yes, okay, let's be honest.
We can't do anything piratethemed without a little bit of
hydration, both as a runner andas a pirate.
So we need our grog.
Where do we go, charlotte, toget a little bit of that pirate
(40:50):
rum flair?
Speaker 4 (40:51):
If there's anything I love more than running in
costume, it is drinking rum.
That is my go-to, so gonna lovetalking about this.
Of course, one of the favoritesat Disney World is at the
Polynesian Village, the TraderSam's Grotto.
You gotta know the secret toget in.
There's timing involved, butthey just have those great
(41:13):
drinks that are served with fire, or the fun tiki glasses and
things that they have like theNautilus from the old Twin
Thousand Leagues Under the SeaStill trying to get my hands on
one of those.
Also at Disney Springs you gotJock Lindsay's Hangar Bar the
Cool Headed Monkey is a greatdrink as well as the Rum
Runner's Revenge.
And then at Oka's Cantina, starWars not pirates, but you know
(41:38):
they were kind of pirates in thesky, but they have some great
drinks over there as well.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I agree.
For the record, I think that,yeah, they do have a little bit
of a tropical flair, a littlebit of that falernum that
immediately makes me feel alittle bit more piratey whenever
I get a cocktail or a drink.
I do want us to talk a littlebit about how you can keep that
going.
You can, of course, get somefrozen margaritas at Epcot
Mexico Pavilion or someCaribbean-inspired cocktails at
the Boathouse and Disney Springs.
But, charlotte, what I reallywant to know is how do we take
(42:08):
this fun off of Disney propertyfor folks that maybe are joining
us from home, and how they getsome fun themed drinks and tell
us all about the rum.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Oh yeah, I mean, there's so many great rum drinks
, you just can't go wrong.
You know the course.
The classic is the rum runner.
We got the rum, the bananaliqueur, blackberry liqueur,
orange juice and a little splashof grenadine to give it that
blood.
Look, crush the ice and put acherry sword on top Always a
favorite.
But here's my favorite thepainkiller.
Any sailor knows about apainkiller in the different
(42:35):
ports.
So you've got dark rum,pineapple juice, orange juice,
cream of coconut.
So you shake this over ice anddo a sprinkle of nutmeg.
Known fact nutmeg is actuallyclassified as a hallucinogen.
So if you actually sprinklethat nutmeg, they tell them
what's going to happen.
You might be seeing piratesaround.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Shut the front door.
First of all, that's one of myfavorite tiki based kind of
cocktails as well, and I had noidea that.
That's a little bit of the kickof the nutmegs.
It feels a little absentee kindof a thing where we add that in
Exactly.
Yeah, interesting, very cool.
What else can we get?
Or should we order at the barafter we have a hallucinatory
conversation with a pirate?
Speaker 4 (43:15):
So a Blackbeard's blood has spiced rum, cherry
juice, cola or I'm from theSouth a Coke and a squeeze of
lime, and you serve it in a darkglass with a skull stir, unless
you happen to have Blackbeard'sskull.
So the story is that once theycut his head off and his body
still continued to circle aroundthe Queen Anne's Revenge, once
(43:37):
they gathered his head, theyused his skull as a chalice and
it made the rounds of the localbars.
So if you can drink it out ofblackbeard's skull, it's going
to make it extra special.
Now is this before or after thatnutmeg Because maybe it was
because of the nutmeg Wondering,so I'm wondering.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
So Okay, that sounds interesting.
I don't know that I'm partakingin that one per se, but is
there another one that maybe isa little bit more friendly for
Christine here?
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (44:08):
So another great one is the tiki torch shot, which
has pineapple juice, coconut rumlove some coconut rum and a
dash of cinnamon, which isreally great for you, and you
can also do it in a shot glasswith a toasted sugar.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Oh, I love this.
This is delicious.
I feel like these are great,both on and off the run.
It may make your run a littlebit more interesting, that's for
sure.
And I feel like Charlotte whenare you opening up your official
bar, because we all want tovisit it?
Speaker 4 (44:33):
Oh, any day now, I would love that.
Speaker 1 (44:36):
Seriously, I feel like it's.
It's definitely your calling.
Okay, my friends, I want to saythank you so much, charlotte,
for joining us.
So if you guys are running your5k in a pirate skirt or you're
sipping grog from a coconut cupor maybe black beard skull, the
goal is the same same we wantyou to have fun, make memories,
add a little sparkle to the seas, and if you're looking for more
(44:57):
of these fun drinkrecommendations or you're
looking for your home of reallyfun disney day drinkers, you
need to definitely head over.
Join charlotte and myself atthe club d3 running team.
I'm going to have that link inepisode notes.
So, friends, whether you're athome or at the disney resorts, I
want you to join in on the fun.
Thank you, charlotte, forcoming on in and joining us here
.
Speaker 4 (45:16):
Oh, this was fabulous .
I love talking running and Ilove talking ROM and pirates, so
this was like made my day to beable to do both at the same
time.
So I hope everybody enjoyedthis.
This was really fun and I'mlooking forward to seeing people
out there at a Disney race orany other race.
Find a race that's got a piratetheme and go for it.
I hope you see you dressed upthere.

So, without further ado,helping me kick off the fun.
Welcome on in, Lynn.
Hello.
Speaker 2 (01:15):
Ahoy, christine, I am thrilled to be here.
I'm curious.
I know I'm so excited about thePirate Pact ride history and
all the land lovers andswashbucklers turning in.
Speaker 1 (01:26):
So I feel like you're going to be a natural when it
comes to all the pirate slang.
I'm going to probably strugglea little bit more with it, but
we'll see, if we can, how longwe can stay in.
Quote.
Unquote character Lynn, I'msuper excited to get this party
on the road, so tell us, maybe,where it all began.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Well, you know, we have to rewind all the way back
to March 1967, which, by the way, is also the year I was born,
the day Pirates of the Caribbeanopened in Disneyland's New
Orleans Square.
So it wasn't just another ride.
Did you know that this was thelast attraction that Walt Disney
personally supervised before hepassed away in 1966.
(02:04):
?
So it's really one of his finalgifts to us.
As far as his handprints on theride itself.
Speaker 1 (02:10):
And what a gift it truly was.
I had no idea.
I didn't realize, though, that,beyond the fact that it was one
of the last things that he wasreally personally involved with,
that it wasn't originallyplanned as a boat ride, that is
correct.
Speaker 2 (02:22):
Did you know?
The first concept of it waslike a walk through wax museum,
filled with pirate tableaus andstatic scenes.
But after this huge success ofit's a Small World, at the 6465
World's Fair the Imagineerspivoted to the boats because it
had better guest flow and it hada more immersive way of the
storytelling.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I can't imagine it any other way.
And it also became the mostelaborate audio animatronic
attraction ever built at thattime, that's true, over 120
figures, all time to lightingmusic and effects.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
You board the boat, drift through the misty caverns,
sail past skeletons and theirtreasure hordes, witness towns
being ransacked and burned.
It's underscored by Yo-Ho Yo-HoA Pirate's Life for Me, which
was written by George Bruns andXavier Atencio, and it became an
instant classic.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
So, lynn, I have to ask how often do you sing that
when you're waiting in the queue?
Oh, all the time, the entiretime that you're in the queue.
So if it's like a 15 minutequeue, it's a 15 minute song.
Sing along, basically.
Well, for 15, yes, okay, okay,got it.
And let's not forget that theBlue Bayou restaurant at the
start of the ride, dining insidethe attraction while lanterns
(03:38):
were glowing and boats driftingpast, that was truly
groundbreaking at that time inDisneyland.
Speaker 2 (03:43):
It was very much and funny story about the Blue Bayou
and my husband will hurt meprobably for this, but as a
child at Disneyland one of his,or a teenager, one of his good
memories was being at the BlueBayou and having a very large
burp and apparently it echoesvery loudly and embarrassed his
whole family by belching loudlyin the Blue Bayou over the
(04:05):
Pirates ride, but it's totallyon theme Like I feel like it's
very Pirates of the Caribbean,don't you think it absolutely is
it added to the ambiance?
Speaker 1 (04:14):
I'm going to say it was perfect, it was perfectly
timed, that's true.
Now, from Disneyland, we headto where.
Speaker 2 (04:21):
To Disney World was the next one, obviously Our
favorite, our home park, and itopened in 1971.
Well, Disney World, sorry,opened in 71.
The Pirates of the Caribbeanwas not supposed to be a part of
the initial lineup becauseFlorida is so close to the
Caribbean, they were like well,Florida people probably wouldn't
want that and be interested.
Speaker 1 (04:43):
I mean I can't imagine Disney World without
Pirates of the Caribbean.
It was one of my absolutefavorite parts.
So of course we were interestedand I mean so glad they brought
it here.
Speaker 2 (04:54):
Yes, there were such a huge demand, so they went to
work really quickly and openedthe Florida version in December
of 73, which, by the way, was myfirst year going to Disney
World as a child, so I got tosee it within the first year it
was open.
Speaker 1 (05:10):
Lynn, your history, your personal history, is so
interwoven and connected withDisney.
I just can't imagine you notbeing a Disney fan.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Oh right, Absolutely.
So what are some of the changes?
Yeah, there are somedifferences.
One is the queue is longer andmore immersive.
Styled it's more like a Spanishfortress.
It's not New Orleans styled,it's the Spanish theme and it's
kind of inspired by El Castillode Moro in San Juan, which I
have been to now.
(05:38):
It's a very interesting castle,so the ride is actually shorter
and it doesn't have the BlueBayou the drop.
The boat drop is a smaller dropat Disney World and they also
rearranged the skeleton scenesand where they showed up to make
the storyline flow a little bitbetter.
Speaker 1 (05:56):
So I mean, clearly I haven't been to Disneyland so I
don't have that comparison.
I feel like I'm super excitedthat they did make that change
of having the queue under someshade.
It's not necessarily under ACthe entire time, but that under
that shade here in Florida Ithink works really well.
Now, since you've been to botha Casillo de Moro and you've
been to Disney World's Piratesof the Caribbean, do you feel
(06:17):
like it's got a little bit ofthat style?
Do you see the similarities atall?
Speaker 2 (06:21):
I think of it more like going to St Augustine and
the castle you know it's.
It's that which is also Spanishstyle, so any of the Spanish
style castles would.
It does have that feel which.
Growing up in Florida, it makesmore sense to me.
I never.
The one time I read the one inCalifornia at Disneyland, it
didn't make sense to be in NewOrleans.
Speaker 1 (06:42):
Right, right, it probably does feel a little
weird, because that was not theCaribbean.
Yeah, I do feel like theFlorida version leans more into
like that mood and mystery fromthe very beginning.
Speaker 2 (06:51):
Now the next thing you know, obviously Pirates has
extended past that.
So the next one they did wasTokyo Disneyland, which opened
in 1983.
And they kind of give us whatwe call the director's cut of
the ride.
It is around 15 minutes longfor the ride.
It's the longest version of theattraction.
Speaker 1 (07:11):
Because there's more pirates, more plundering and
more drama, of course, and Iwish that ours was 15 minutes
long, that seems amazing.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Yeah, the only times ours is 15 minutes is not for a
good reason.
Speaker 4 (07:24):
You're absolutely right.
You're absolutely right.
Speaker 2 (07:26):
But the other thing they have is dual loading and
unloading stations, so ithandles the crowds better as
well.
So there are.
There, seems, being that it was.
You know, 10 years furtheralong, in the 80s, they're much
more detailed and the queue ismore elegant.
The narration is in Japanese,which you know it's in Tokyo, so
(07:47):
that makes sense, but many ofthe songs and the key phrases do
remain in English.
Speaker 1 (07:52):
I can't imagine Yoho.
Yoho, it's a Pirate's Life forme and any other like variation.
But I would be curious to hearwhat it does translate to.
So since we can't reallytranslate it here in Japanese
now, maybe we could try a littlebit of France, Maybe that is
the next place that they wentand we have almost another 10
years.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
I'm feeling a 10 year theme here.
Going In, 1992 is when Parisopened and they flipped the
entire story structure, theentire story structure.
There you begin with the chaos,the raiding, the dueling, the
pillaging and end in the hauntedcaverns with the skeletons and
the echoes of the past.
Speaker 1 (08:32):
I really love that inversion.
It feels like it's like itplays in reverse a little bit,
so it starts off with the mayhemand then kind of finishes a
little bit more with the mysteryas you exit the ride.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
I dig that, yeah.
And so their queue takes youthrough Fort St Nicholas and the
boat floats past captainquarters and dungeons before the
real, first real scene.
Oh, and also their on-ridedining spot is called Captain
Jack's Restaurant Des Pirates anod to Blue Bayou I don't know
if I said that right with aCaribbean menu, though.
Speaker 1 (09:03):
I have no idea.
I say Captain Jack said itexactly right to me, my friend,
I love the Caribbean menu.
I mean, again, being in Florida, we do have a lot of really
great cuisine, floridian and allthat jazz.
But I think I would definitelywant to try their pineapple rum
cake in France and see how itstacks up.
Speaker 2 (09:22):
That's true.
Now the showstopper, though, ofthe rides is the Shanghai
Disney's Pirates of theCaribbean Battle for the Sunken
Treasure, which opened in 2016.
It's a complete reinvention,using trackless boat tech,
projection, mapping andsynchronized motion.
If any of you have Disney Plusand have watched the
(09:43):
Imagineering story, you canactually see the original
different pieces of the ride,but when I saw this one, the
Shanghai one, I'm like I want togo to Shanghai just to ride
this ride.
Speaker 1 (09:54):
Are you serious?
No, I need it.
I feel like that's going to beon my watch list today.
So they have, like, the entireParasite Caribbean with all the
different variations, and itshows the Shanghai as well.
Speaker 2 (10:03):
No, it's the whole Imagineering story.
Ah, okay, but it does talkabout that through the different
parks.
It does talk about pirates,because that is a staple in most
of the parks.
Speaker 1 (10:14):
Yeah, yeah, I mean, the Imagineers do incredible
things, that's for sure.
So my understanding that theShanghai Disneyland is not like
a slow float through set pieces,it's like being inside of the
actual pirate blockbuster movies, right.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
You actually follow Jack Sparrow as he dives beneath
the waves to battle Davy Jonesfor a sunken treasure.
So there's a 360 degreeunderwater battle, an enormous
screen that blends with realsets and the boats that rotate
and glide independently.
So none of the rides feelexactly the same.
So think a little bit Rise ofthe Resistance if you've ridden
(10:49):
that, but with 360 degrees itliterally drops you into the
underwater.
Speaker 1 (10:55):
So I feel like we need to make Shanghai happen for
ourselves.
Speaker 2 (10:59):
I know right.
Speaker 1 (11:00):
That sounds incredible.
Well, there have been some rideenhancements or changes over
time, depending on what side ofthe controversies you may lie,
but there have been some updates.
In the mid 2000s, the ride wasoverhauled to include elements
from the hit film franchise JackSparrow in multiple scenes you
(11:21):
can see him two or three times.
Speaker 2 (11:23):
A transformed pirate captain into Barbossa and Davy
Jones's voice is appearing as aghostly mist over the boats
happened for a while.
I've also heard rumor that attimes Johnny Depp will just get
on his Jack Sparrow costume andbe on the ride from time to time
as one of the, an addedanimatronic over in Disneyland.
Speaker 1 (11:46):
That would be so amazing.
That would truly be so amazing.
Now I do know that they alsohad a little bit of an update.
In the 2018 year.
We found ourselves the auctionscene that was once showing
women being sold was reworked,of course, because that would
probably not be the mostappropriate.
So the redhead became red, apistol wielding pirate leading
the plunder.
She's sassy.
(12:07):
I like her.
Speaker 2 (12:08):
Yeah, it did spark a lot of controversy.
So again, it just depends on Ilike the classics but I do get
it.
It does, you know, have morewoman empowerment, but at the
same time I have mixed opinions,but I get it.
I get it.
I do like the character Red,the tough female pirate, and I
get why you couldn't do that,but it's yeah.
Speaker 1 (12:30):
So I'm still on the fence.
It changes a little bit of thenostalgia feels, that's for sure
.
No doubt about it.
For the record, when I think ofall of the awesome costumes you
have, you would make a prettyamazing Red Like if you ever
wanted to Disney Bond as her.
Lynn, I think you could pull itoff.
That's a good point.
Okay, Lynn, I know that you'vegot some deep lore hidden in
(12:50):
your treasure trove, so maybeyou could share some of it with
us.
Speaker 2 (12:53):
This is my favorite actually is that initially they
actually use real skeletons inthe Disneyland ride.
So the Imagineers got them fromthe medical school because the
fake ones looked too fake.
I mean, this was back in the60s, they weren't as good with
making fake things.
You know, nowadays we can makea cake that looks like something
(13:15):
that it's not.
So we have much more technologynow.
Most of those have beenreplaced with replicas, but
there are the rumors floatingaround that one or two real
bones still remain in the bedscene, which is kind of spooky.
Speaker 1 (13:30):
I honestly, if it wasn't you telling me this, I
wouldn't believe it, justbecause I just can't imagine
real skeletons.
But I agree with you Technologyhas changed and we could
probably make those skeletonsout of cake, like you mentioned
now, and they would look just asreal.
Do you think they're stillthere, skeletons out of cake
like you mentioned now, and theywould look just as real.
Do you think they're stillthere, do you?
Speaker 2 (13:48):
think that there might be a couple left behind.
I don't know.
Okay, that would be hard to say.
I do know as specific as theyare about knowing.
I do believe they know it's notan accident, like if they're
there, they know that they'rethere.
It's not like somebody justmissed one or two.
If they're there, it's anintention.
Speaker 1 (14:04):
Right right Left it behind Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
Also throughout the ride there are several hidden
Mickeys, like there's a placewhere the cannonballs are
stacked in a Mickey shape.
So always keep your eye out forthose.
Speaker 1 (14:17):
I feel like if there's anybody that could
definitely find the hiddenMickeys, it would be you.
Do you know of the cannonballs,Mickey shaped stacked area or
like?
Have you seen them?
Speaker 2 (14:26):
I'm actually not a huge hidden mickey looker.
I mean, really, if I know it'sa specific like certain things,
I will look, but it's notsomething I am very specific
about.
Got it okay.
Another cool thing with thepirates are the audio
animatronics count there's.
You know, like I mentionedbefore, there was over 120
(14:48):
figures in the original version,and always my favorite as a kid
and even now is, as you'recoming through, there's a man up
on the wall with his legswinging, yeah, and there's even
hair on the leg and I wasalways just really impressed by
the fact that it's a hairy,dirty leg.
I like looks like a real dirtypirate.
So I'm always impressed.
Speaker 1 (15:08):
I think it's my favorite too, and I'm so curious
if people want to pop in andlet us know if that's one of
their favorites, because it justlooks so incredibly realistic
and, being especially as a kidin the boat, you kind of almost
feel like you could reach up andtouch it.
So yeah, it's one of myfavorites as well.
Speaker 2 (15:24):
The last one is that the Yo-Ho the Pirates Like For
Me song was never actually meantto be iconic but it became one
of Disney's most recognizabletunes.
I'm not sure it probably did aclose run with.
It's a Small World, but Yo-Ho,like you know, they've even
added extra lyrics.
If you've listened to the fullthing in the movies they've
(15:46):
added I I try to listen on theride to hear if I can hear all
of the lyrics that you hear fromthe full version and I have.
Speaker 1 (15:53):
I've picked out the really bad eggs one part, but
the rest of them not so muchokay, now I want to actually go
pull it up to see if I can findall the lyrics online, but I do
think that it's got a little bitof earworm, like it's a small
world without being quite soannoying.
So I feel like it's basicallythe pirate anthem of every
generation.
Speaker 2 (16:12):
Absolutely so.
You know, one of the things Ithink that's so interesting is,
from the wax museum idea all theway from the beginning to
immersive 4D experience thePirates of the Caribbean to
immersive 4D experience, thePirates of the Caribbean has
evolved with the times, and soit still stays true to that
classic cheeky kind ofswashbuckling spirit that it
(16:33):
started with, which isn't reallynice.
Speaker 1 (16:35):
It is for sure.
So our listeners that are rightnow doing the 5K think of every
step like a sail through Disneyhistory.
There's adventure, there'schallenge and there's always a
little bit of treasure at theend.
Speaker 2 (16:46):
Even if the treasure is just a cold drink and a shiny
medal, even if you have to makeyour own.
Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, I mean absolutely.
I'm down with making your ownSome doubloons.
Let's see those best DIYs.
So thank you, Lynn, so verymuch for sharing this history of
one of our favorite rides,Pirates of the Caribbean and I'm
so excited about this entireweekend.
But coming up next, we're goingto turn our compass toward the
big screen.
From cursed Aztec gold toeyeliner smeared legends, Our
(17:15):
movie segment is led by noneother than our cinematic compass
, Sally Wyatt Get ready for theburied secrets, epic battles and
behind the scenes.
Speaker 2 (17:23):
Magic.
Sally, you're on deck.
Speaker 1 (17:25):
All right, adventurers, you've sailed
through the ride's history andnow it's time to jump ship
straight into Hollywood.
The Pirates of the Caribbeanfilms turn theme park fun into
big screen treasure, and joiningme to unpack it all is our
Extraordinary League movie queenand your go-to host for film
night and trivia.
Speaker 3 (17:42):
sally wyant, hey sally hey, christine, I'm so
excited to be here.
I love these movies so much.
They're the venture, the swordfights and, of course, like the
famous captain, jack sparrow Imean, how could you go wrong
with captain jack?
Speaker 1 (17:56):
there's no doubt about it, so we're going to get
into it, because this seriesdoesn't just surprise fans, it
actually shocked the industry.
So when Disney announced amovie based on the Pirates of
the Caribbean ride back in theearly 2000s, people were well,
let's say, skeptical.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Yes, just because of the fact that most pirate movies
before it flopped.
This one, however, wasconsidered risky for Disney, but
when the Purse of the BlackPearl came out in 2003, it
became like a massive hit.
Speaker 1 (18:24):
I am shocked, still to this day, that it made over
$650 million worldwide.
It revived the pirate genre andearned Johnny Depp an Oscar
nomination for playing a piratethat no one knew what to expect
from.
I have to say I can't think ofJohnny Depp in any other role.
Like I know, he's the verynuanced actor.
He has tons of other accolades,but do you see him as like
(18:45):
Captain Jack Sparrow all thetime?
Speaker 3 (18:47):
Yes, yes, I agree, that's like I think his go-to
movie now is that.
Like there's that and I justthink of like Edward
Scissorhands like his earlymovie.
I just think of like EdwardScissorhands like his early
movie, that's the only two Iheard.
Speaker 1 (19:00):
That is a classic, one of my favorites too.
I can't think of anybody elsedefinitely playing that role.
But let's talk about what madethat first film so special
besides Johnny Depp.
And of course it's because ithad a cursed treasure.
There was ghost pirates thatwere super cool, of course,
sword fights and Captain Jack,who was a hero, who wasn't
really a hero.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
Exactly, Jack Sparrow wasn't polished at all.
Speaker 1 (19:24):
He was unpredictable, clever, funny and just chaotic
enough to be lovable.
I mean, that's definitely why Ithink most of us fell in love
with him.
But I didn't know this that hischaracter was based on Keith
Richards, the guitarist from theRolling Stones.
That's when he had kind of asways around like he's been at
sea too long or had one too manymugs of rum.
Speaker 3 (19:45):
And funny enough, which I when I watched the first
movie, I go this characterlooks so familiar.
And then when I heard that andKeith Richards stars as the dad
in later films, as CaptainTeague Jack's dad, that was like
, oh, that's who he looked likeand it made sense.
Yeah, it does make sense.
So let's talk about the othercharacters quickly, just as a
(20:06):
refresher for everyone.
Speaker 1 (20:08):
Yeah, for anyone that hasn't seen the movies, of
course, and if you haven't, whatare you doing?
You should immediately stopyour run and go watch this, or
maybe jump on the treadmill towatch.
So kick it off, my friend.
Speaker 3 (20:19):
So we of course we have the famous Jack Sparrow,
the captain, the trickster andkind of lucky played by Johnny
Depp.
Speaker 1 (20:27):
Yes, and then there was Will Turner, the blacksmith
turned pirate, loyal, brave andalways a little too serious,
played by Orlando Bloom, andduring scenes when they have a
younger version of Will, he'splayed by Dylan Smith.
Speaker 3 (20:38):
And of course, we have Elizabeth Swan, played by
no other Keira Knightley and asa young Elizabeth, who was
played by Lucinda Dracic.
This character starts as thegovernor's daughter and ends up
as a pirate, queen Fierce.
Speaker 1 (20:54):
Completely fierce.
I absolutely love her.
And then, of course, there'sCaptain Barbossa, so much fun to
watch Played by Geoffrey Rush,who again iconic actor, who is
described to him as a mix ofShakespeare and a mix of Looney
Tunes, which actually I see thatas well.
Yeah, I do too.
And, of course, if you'relooking to maybe finish up your
Pirates themed weekend with alittle bit of a movie marathon,
(21:16):
here's a quick tour of the fivefilms.
There's, of course, theblockbuster, the Curse of the
Black Pearl 2003 is when thatcame out.
So there's Ghost Pirates andCursed Gold, dead Man's Chest in
2006, which has the Kraken,davy Jones and the giant wheel
chase scene At World's End in2007, huge sea battles, pirate
lords and Jack's weird deserthallucinations.
(21:37):
And then on to On StrangerTides 2011, which includes the
Fountain of Youth, blackbeardand Mermaids Can't go wrong with
that.
And then, finally, dead MenTell no Tales, ghost Sailors,
young Henry Turner and acallback to the ride's most
famous line.
Speaker 3 (21:54):
Oh, and did you know, christine I found this so
fascinating that Dead Man'sChest made over a billion
dollars.
It was the fastest movie toever reach that at that time.
Speaker 1 (22:03):
I mean, I can't.
That's like mind blowing.
The amount of money that ittakes to be a billion dollars.
Talk about truly a blockbuster.
Yes, Now, one of the things Iknow you love, Sally, and when
you're hosting the movie nightsfor the league and you pop in
with all the trivia is that youfind all of the really good
Easter eggs.
(22:23):
So one of the things that Ilove about Disney and their
magical movie making is thatEaster eggs are always kind of
hidden within, and this moviepays tribute to the ride in so
many ways.
And here's just a few there'sthe dog with the keys in the
jail, of course, straight fromthe ride.
Of course the dead men tell notales used in the films.
And the ride narration, Ofcourse.
(22:44):
That's what we decided to kindof allude to with the podcast
title here.
The burning town scene, which Ican actually smell when I go
through that ride and whenever Isee it on the movies.
It's a full moment from theattraction.
And then the auction seat,which is nodded to in multiple
films and we can't forget aboutthe music.
Speaker 3 (23:03):
At world 10 a little boy sings yo ho, a pirate's life
for me before a scary scene,which of course I love.
Speaker 1 (23:10):
Scary parts in the movies gives me chills same, my
friend same, and it does have alittle bit of eeriness, even
though it is family friendly butsally.
I think that we couldn't have asegment on this movie in the
blockbuster series without alittle bit of a trivia challenge
.
I think it's hard to stump you,but I'm going to try and,
friends, if you are out therelistening right now, play along
(23:33):
with us.
I'm going to give some multiplechoice questions.
First question is what was theoriginal title of the curse of
the black pearl before disneyadded pirates of the caribbean?
Was it?
a ghost ship b treasure's cursec just the black pearl or d?
Speaker 3 (23:52):
c of shadows oh, let me think I I'm gonna have to
guess c, the black pearl I meanyou're absolutely right.
Speaker 1 (24:00):
It kind of writes straight to the point.
But Disney decided let's gohave an eye at a Pirates of the
Caribbean later because we needto connect it directly to the
bride.
Speaker 3 (24:09):
Yes, it makes sense totally, because you need like,
if you see, just like the blackgirl, like you're like, what am
I walking into with the?
Speaker 1 (24:16):
baby 100%, which makes sense.
But sometimes you're like, well, that seems a little obvious,
but no, it really actually makessense that they would need to
add it in.
Okay, I know it's again hard tostump you, but which of these
is not a real pirate ship in theseries A, the Flying Dutchman,
b the Queen Anne's Revenge, cthe Silent Mary or D the Crimson
(24:36):
Cobra?
Speaker 3 (24:37):
Oh, I have to say D sounds made up, so I'll have to
go with D the Crimson Cobra.
Oh, I have to say D sounds madeup, so I'll have to go with D
the Crimson Cobra.
Speaker 1 (24:44):
But wouldn't that be a super cool like gladiator.
I don't know masked wrestlername, but you're absolutely
right that one's totallyfictional.
At least it was for thisfranchise so far.
Who knows, Maybe they'll bringit in.
Speaker 3 (24:57):
I know who knows, but disney, I can see them trying
making another pirates movie andworking that one in, of course.
So we're gonna flip the script.
I'm gonna have my turn to closeyou and see how much you can
know about these movie seriesokay, I'm a little nervous, but
I'll give it a try, okay so inthe first movie.
What?
What's Jack Sparrow's famousanswer when someone asks you are
(25:20):
without a doubt the worstpirate I've ever heard of.
A, but I'm charming B, but youhave heard of me C, I'll take
that as a compliment.
Or D, says you.
Speaker 1 (25:33):
I can actually picture Jack Sparrow saying all
of those.
Yeah, but I think, I think itwas.
But you have heard of me.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
Yes, you are correct and I feel like some of those
like I know they're in othermovies I just can't think of,
like the C1, like I'll take thatas a compliment.
I can see that being in one ofthe movies.
Speaker 1 (25:53):
I can, I can.
It's kind of like that wholewhat do they call it?
Mandela effect, where you can'ttell like what was reality and
what your mind kind of created,because I can honestly see those
all 100% being things thatCaptain Jack's character would
say.
Speaker 3 (26:06):
Yes, okay, next one which movie introduces the
mermaids who tried to drag thesailors underwater?
A Dead Man's Chest B OnStranger Tides, c At World's End
, or D Dead Men Tell no Talesman's chest B on stranger tides,
c at world's end, or D dead mentell no tales.
Speaker 1 (26:23):
Okay, I think I know this one specifically because I
haven't met a mermaid or amerman that I didn't absolutely
love, so I this one stands out alittle bit more to me.
Speaker 3 (26:32):
I believe it's on stranger tides correct and I
feel like with that one it kindof gives it away like the
Stranger Tides.
Speaker 1 (26:40):
Yeah, that's a good point.
That's a good point.
Well, I will say that this alsowouldn't be a full movie
segment if we didn't throw insome of the extra behind the
scenes facts.
And I think, again, that's kindof one of the things that I
love participating in your movienights where you throw in so
much little tidbits andknowledge.
I feel like you're getting usready for Jeopardy.
Yeah, but a couple of behind thescenes facts is that Johnny
(27:04):
Depp wore gold teeth to set andDisney almost fired him for it.
I can't believe that.
I know Cause.
I mean, it makes perfect sense,but I think that he may have
been a little bit too much tohandle.
Since he does, he's a characteractor.
They probably were like the.
Since he does he's a characteractor, they probably were like
the tentacles on Davy Jones were100% CGI.
Bill Nighy acted in a motioncapture suit and I have seen a
(27:26):
little bit of behind the sceneswith that and it's.
I don't.
Truly, actors are more amazingthan we give them credit for
because of how they do thisgreen screen stuff and portray
like it's real is beyond me.
Speaker 3 (27:35):
Yeah, I've seen some of like, not even with the
Pirates movies, but like Avatarand all those other ones Like
the sea, the sea like themacting and with the green screen
, they have to use theirimagination.
It's completely amazing.
Speaker 1 (27:48):
It really is.
I don't think I could do it.
Do you think you could?
I don't think so.
I'm not that good, honestly, Iwould be like what there's
supposed to be a squid oroctopus or something here,
because all I see is justliterally nothing Like.
I just see a dude in a suitmaking weird noises, or weird
(28:08):
gestures.
Speaker 3 (28:08):
Okay, so hit me with some of your behind the scenes
facts, my friend.
So on Stranger Tides, the moviecosts $379 million, making it
one of the most expensive moviesever made.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
I could see that too.
I mean 100% right, like it'sbecause of all the different
characters and it was so muchCGI in that one as well.
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Yeah, I was gonna say I can see it because of the
effects and who they cast forthe movie.
And then Penelope Cruz waspregnant during filming so she
had her sister as her stuntdouble for some of the shots
which I do remember seeing thatsomewhere maybe was behind the
scenes on something, that shewas pregnant for the movie and
her sister was used.
Speaker 1 (28:45):
Oh my gosh, I don't even now.
I want to like go look up whather sister looks like.
Does her sister have her own,like IMDB with credits as stunt
double, while Penelope?
Speaker 3 (28:56):
was pregnant.
I want to go back and rewatchthe movie and be like like LLP
or is that her sister?
And see if I got it.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, I mean that'll be very interesting.
Well, and, of course, jeffreyRash Barbosa always comes into
the scenes from the left sidebecause he feels like it's his
better side, which makes megiggle as well.
Speaker 3 (29:15):
Yes, it's like a classic actor thing, yeah.
Speaker 1 (29:22):
Which is me on my right side or left side.
This goes to show how much timethey spend like probably
practicing their lines in themirror, where they're able to
figure out what their best sidesare, because I have no clue, I
don't stand in front of a mirrorthat long.
But I'm sure you've heard,sally, that disney has talked
about a reboot.
There was a script, even withmargot Robbie, who I love, but
it's on pause right now.
I'm curious if we'll hear more.
Speaker 3 (29:44):
Yes, and then producer Jerry Buckhider says
that they're still working on anew movie and no word on whether
or not Jack will return.
I mean, it won't be a Piratesmovie without Jack.
Speaker 1 (29:56):
It can't.
It can't Really.
I know there was a whole lot ofcontroversy, but I think he has
to be brought back if they'regoing to do it.
I just can't even fathom theseries without him.
Speaker 3 (30:05):
Yeah, even if it's like a little brief cameo of
like five or ten minutes.
Speaker 1 (30:17):
It's like something.
Yeah, absolutely so.
I mean, regardless of whetherthey not, whether they do or do
not, it has left a huge mark onthe theme parks, on Hollywood
and, of course, on fans.
Speaker 3 (30:27):
Yes, and these movies are fun, bold and filled with
magic.
They make you feel likeanything can happen on the scene
.
Speaker 1 (30:34):
And they show that heroes don't have to be perfect.
Sometimes they just need acompass that doesn't point north
and a whole lot of courage Withthat.
Sally, thank you, as always,for all of the work that you
bring into movie nights andtrivia and providing us all with
so much fun.
You really do create movienight magic for our training
community.
Speaker 3 (30:53):
Thank you so much for having me today, Christine.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
Of course, it's always a pleasure.
And now, my friends, it's timefor our final segment of the
show.
There's going to be Grog, Gearand Grub, a little pirate
fashion with a very surprisedguest.
She's going to show you how tochannel your inner pirate with
style and snacks.
Speaker 3 (31:13):
And you don't want to miss it.
Speaker 1 (31:15):
Stay with us and remember not all treasure is
silver and gold mate.
All right, Swashbucklers, thisis the part of the show where
we're going to let our hair down.
We're going to slip intosomething that can help us take
down a pirate or two, and we're,of course, going to pour
ourselves a drink.
But we're not doing it alone,because this next guest you need
to buckle up, my friends.
She's at the helm of the DisneyDay Drinkers running team.
(31:36):
She's a legendary ultra runningcoach, a woman who has run over
300 and counting marathons,often in costumes so detailed
that you think she had a fairygodmother on speed dial, or at
least Bart Yasso stopping totalk about the fact that he
still can't get over how amazingher costumes are.
She's also a friend that's sofun that if you run into her on
(31:56):
a deserted island, you're goingto hope that you have at least
two coconuts and a blendernearby so you can sit for a
spell and chat.
Please welcome the one, theonly, the sparkly-dusted storm
of joy and power herself,Charlotte Corher.
Speaker 4 (32:09):
Ah, thanks, Christine .
That was a pretty darn goodintroduction, you know, if only
you could see that I have mypirate garb on right now it
would even make it better.
Speaker 1 (32:21):
Yeah, now what?
I am curious let's get it forsure, right Cause I know you've
been many on many podcasts.
How do we say your last name?
Speaker 4 (32:28):
It depends on which side of the County you're from.
Where I am now, my parents andmy brothers and sisters all say
it differently it's Corrier,corrier.
Speaker 1 (32:36):
Corrier.
Okay, we're going to work onthat.
After we have maybe a drink ortwo, maybe.
I just have to loosen up alittle bit.
I'm feeling, yeah, okay.
Charlotte, as I've alreadytalked about, you are the
supreme master of costuming.
Seriously, friends, you'regoing to want to follow her on
Instagram as well.
So, cheryl, I'm going to askyou to drop that in so people
can see your incredible costumes.
And because you are theBlackbeard of Bidzow's racewear,
(32:59):
I'm going to ask you to maybegive us a little bit of history
of what pirates actually woreand how we can channel that into
a running costume.
Speaker 4 (33:06):
Yeah, sure.
So I live on the coast of NorthCarolina, so a lot of pirate
history and information aroundhere, so slightly obsessed with
pirates.
But you know pirates they werepractical and scrappy, so you
know they're not.
And scrappy.
So you know they're notthinking about running a
marathon, they're thinking about, you know, being out on the
high sea.
So you know they're gonna wearloose linen skirts.
(33:27):
You know white color, coolcolors, breathable and easy to
move in.
Unfortunately, you know theydidn't have the gear that we
have these days, so they hadlike canvas or wool trousers.
I can't imagine trying to runin that.
They did have like sashes orbelts to carry weapons or tools,
which hey, makes it good tocarry your grog mug or maybe a
little mini bottle in there.
(33:48):
Tuck them in there as well.
And vests and waistcoats.
So lots of extra flair andthings you can bedazzle, you
know.
For their heads, you know theyhave those famous tri-corner
hats, you know, things to keepthe sun off of them and bandanas
.
So a lot of times you can workthese into a costume very easily
.
But just lots of layers, a lotof things added.
(34:08):
You see the pictures where youknow they've got all these
accessories onto their costume.
Speaker 1 (34:14):
OK, now you're saying that you can't imagine running
in wool trousers, though I thinkyou've run in a full salmon row
.
I mean you had a full costumewhere you probably had more
uncomfortable fabrics thatyou've had to deal with.
But how do we funnel all ofthis realistically?
For maybe us that are justamateurs, we're just dipping our
toe into having some more funwith our costuming when we run?
(34:35):
How do we make that more racefriendly?
Speaker 4 (34:38):
Yeah, you definitely want to get practical.
I think I've worn, I think,five different pirate costumes
across the years, you know.
So it's just you got to make itfun.
You know, if it jingles,sparkles or flutters in the
breeze, it's fair game, so let'sjust talk about this.
So again with the with the tops, you know, think light colors,
puffiness, puffy sleeves.
(34:58):
Remember the old Jerry Seinfeldepisode about the pirate shirt?
Yeah, so light and flowy.
For the hydration vest, you knowyou can add stuff on.
So that's, you know where youcan attach your grog cup.
And also it's a great place tohide your little snacks and
treasures.
So you know you can do thingsto bedazzle your hydration vest.
The bandana or buff you knowthat's a crown for you.
(35:22):
You can add rhinestones,feathers, fringe, anything you
want to to your bandana or yourbuff.
Gold coins those are fabulous.
To add to a running skirt, youknow, imagine you're running
along and people hear the jingle, jingle, jingle like a loot bag
every time you take a step.
And then also temporary tattoosyou know these are great and
fun things to do.
You can find a lot of this onAmazon.
And, of course, every piratehas a parrot on their shoulder.
(35:45):
So, yeah, get that parrot andpop it up on your shoulder, and
then just fun accessories like acompass or a sword.
And then, of course, we talkedabout the headwear, the
tri-corner hats.
Those are great for keeping thesun off of you and you can wear
it the whole time, or you cantoss it off to a kid if you want
to.
Me personally, I'm head to toe,start to finish.
(36:06):
My costume stays intact thewhole time, but you can make a
hat very runner friendly.
Speaker 1 (36:12):
Okay, I mean, I am amazed by how the fact that you,
you are committed when you getinto your costume and you're
going to make it happen, nomatter the distance, no matter
how difficult it is.
So, since you are our piratepro, do you have some tips,
specifically of some of yourcostumes that you felt like
needed some tweaking along theway, since you've had so many
different iterations?
Speaker 4 (36:31):
Yeah, the big thing is just to practice and whatever
you're going to wear, you know,make sure it's not going to rub
or chafe, trip you up.
You know, a lot of times if youhave a long flowy skirt, you
might get tripped up on thatthat flowy blouse that we talked
about, you know it could chafeyou.
So just practice in everythingyou have and, again, try to
think light colors.
If it's going to be a hot raceand you're going, to be out in
(36:52):
the sun.
Speaker 1 (36:53):
Okay, I love this.
It makes a lot of sense.
I think it actually kind oftranslates really well into the
racing runner friendly with thepirate gear.
So I'm excited and I can't waitto see what people come up with
.
I also want to see if maybe wecan find some of your photos and
share them at least with theDisney Day Drinker group,
because, friends, if you haven'tjoined us over on Facebook,
over there there is thefantastic community of Disney
(37:14):
runners that are all abouthaving the most amount of fun
possible, especially withCharlotte at the helm.
But, charlotte, we've talkedabout gear, which I know you're
a pro about.
I think it's important, thoughwe can't really have a Pirates
of the Caribbean themed podcastwithout talking about some of
the delicious treats.
So do you have some favoritekind of Caribbean inspired or
(37:35):
pirate fare that you tend togravitate toward?
You know?
Speaker 4 (37:39):
I mean, that's the whole reason I run is just so I
can eat those fun treats.
Yeah, there's some.
There's some great thingsacross Disney World and the
parks that you can chow down on,right, christine?
Speaker 1 (37:50):
Yeah, yeah, I think if you guys are going to Disney
World per se at Magic Kingdom,I'm a big fan of heading to
Tortuga Tavern.
Sometimes you can get theseasonal jerk chicken.
Of course they have somebarbecue pork and some rice
bowls.
I love me some Dole Whip.
I feel like that's as tropicalas it possibly gets and it kind
of makes me feel a littlepiratey as well.
So, of course, heading toSunshine Tree Trails and they
(38:11):
occasionally have a coconut DoleWhip, which I think makes it
super special, but if not, I'mtotally down with the Pineapple
Dole Whip and of course you canget a little bit of a rum float
on it outside of Magic Kingdom.
Even though I'm excited aboutthe Pirate's Tavern that's
coming our way here soon, Epcot,I'm personally thinking that a
(38:40):
drumstick kind of fits with thepirate gear and like I feel like
it kind of goes hand in hand.
It feels very piratey, Like Ijust pillaged and plundered and
now I have a drumstick tocelebrate with.
It's not a drumstick, it's aturkey leg.
Ah, yes, I would call it adrumstick Turkey leg.
I love this Charlotte's like.
No, my friend, you've got thiswrong.
It is a turkey leg.
Okay, Same difference, right,Just a little bit bigger of a
poultry.
I committed a foul, oh good one.
(39:02):
So you're going to go to RegalEagle Barbecue, which actually
is one of my favorite stops, andalso they have some really
great drinks there as well.
We're going to talk about someof the places we can get drinks
at Now.
Over in Epcot there's always agreat festival booth.
So I definitely would saythere's a lot of places to
participate in those festivalbooths.
If we're heading intoDisneyland, of course, Bengal
barbecue, tropical hideaway,those will have some really
(39:23):
great grub for you to get.
They get a little fancier withtheir dole whips over in
Disneyland so they may add alittle mango chili, again that
coconut.
And of course, in Disneyland,Paris, Captain Jack's.
I mean, how are you not goingto go to Captain Jack's there?
So jerk season, mahi-mahicoconut rice, which is one of my
favorites, and rum-baseddesserts.
In Tokyo, DisneySea maybe notexactly on theme, but you can
(39:46):
bring that kind of flairyourself, friends at Cafe
Portofino Also has thoseCaribbean-style dishes.
And in Shanghai, Disneyland allthe way, Black Pearl Milk Tea.
I mean, come on, it's perfect.
Of course there's fried seafoodand island style plates as well
.
So I think that kind of coversthe grub for the Disneyverse.
(40:06):
But, friends, if you have somesuggestions that I may have
missed or you want to go aheadand let me know that you're
definitely all about that turkeyleg versus me calling it a
drumstick, feel free to pop inand let us know.
Speaker 4 (40:17):
Oh, Christine, I'm really hungry right now.
I know I, actually I am superhungry.
We should have planned this asa lunch meeting so we could eat
while we were doing this,talking about all this food.
Speaker 1 (40:28):
Next time.
Next time we'll have to do that, or we should just record it
live at Disney World.
I mean, that's the better wayof doing it.
Anyway, let's do it.
Yes, okay, let's be honest.
We can't do anything piratethemed without a little bit of
hydration, both as a runner andas a pirate.
So we need our grog.
Where do we go, charlotte, toget a little bit of that pirate
(40:50):
rum flair?
Speaker 4 (40:51):
If there's anything I love more than running in
costume, it is drinking rum.
That is my go-to, so gonna lovetalking about this.
Of course, one of the favoritesat Disney World is at the
Polynesian Village, the TraderSam's Grotto.
You gotta know the secret toget in.
There's timing involved, butthey just have those great
(41:13):
drinks that are served with fire, or the fun tiki glasses and
things that they have like theNautilus from the old Twin
Thousand Leagues Under the SeaStill trying to get my hands on
one of those.
Also at Disney Springs you gotJock Lindsay's Hangar Bar the
Cool Headed Monkey is a greatdrink as well as the Rum
Runner's Revenge.
And then at Oka's Cantina, starWars not pirates, but you know
(41:38):
they were kind of pirates in thesky, but they have some great
drinks over there as well.
Speaker 1 (41:43):
I agree.
For the record, I think that,yeah, they do have a little bit
of a tropical flair, a littlebit of that falernum that
immediately makes me feel alittle bit more piratey whenever
I get a cocktail or a drink.
I do want us to talk a littlebit about how you can keep that
going.
You can, of course, get somefrozen margaritas at Epcot
Mexico Pavilion or someCaribbean-inspired cocktails at
the Boathouse and Disney Springs.
But, charlotte, what I reallywant to know is how do we take
(42:08):
this fun off of Disney propertyfor folks that maybe are joining
us from home, and how they getsome fun themed drinks and tell
us all about the rum.
Speaker 4 (42:12):
Oh yeah, I mean, there's so many great rum drinks
, you just can't go wrong.
You know the course.
The classic is the rum runner.
We got the rum, the bananaliqueur, blackberry liqueur,
orange juice and a little splashof grenadine to give it that
blood.
Look, crush the ice and put acherry sword on top Always a
favorite.
But here's my favorite thepainkiller.
Any sailor knows about apainkiller in the different
(42:35):
ports.
So you've got dark rum,pineapple juice, orange juice,
cream of coconut.
So you shake this over ice anddo a sprinkle of nutmeg.
Known fact nutmeg is actuallyclassified as a hallucinogen.
So if you actually sprinklethat nutmeg, they tell them
what's going to happen.
You might be seeing piratesaround.
Speaker 1 (42:54):
Shut the front door.
First of all, that's one of myfavorite tiki based kind of
cocktails as well, and I had noidea that.
That's a little bit of the kickof the nutmegs.
It feels a little absentee kindof a thing where we add that in
Exactly.
Yeah, interesting, very cool.
What else can we get?
Or should we order at the barafter we have a hallucinatory
conversation with a pirate?
Speaker 4 (43:15):
So a Blackbeard's blood has spiced rum, cherry
juice, cola or I'm from theSouth a Coke and a squeeze of
lime, and you serve it in a darkglass with a skull stir, unless
you happen to have Blackbeard'sskull.
So the story is that once theycut his head off and his body
still continued to circle aroundthe Queen Anne's Revenge, once
(43:37):
they gathered his head, theyused his skull as a chalice and
it made the rounds of the localbars.
So if you can drink it out ofblackbeard's skull, it's going
to make it extra special.
Now is this before or after thatnutmeg Because maybe it was
because of the nutmeg Wondering,so I'm wondering.
Speaker 1 (43:57):
So Okay, that sounds interesting.
I don't know that I'm partakingin that one per se, but is
there another one that maybe isa little bit more friendly for
Christine here?
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (44:08):
So another great one is the tiki torch shot, which
has pineapple juice, coconut rumlove some coconut rum and a
dash of cinnamon, which isreally great for you, and you
can also do it in a shot glasswith a toasted sugar.
Speaker 1 (44:21):
Oh, I love this.
This is delicious.
I feel like these are great,both on and off the run.
It may make your run a littlebit more interesting, that's for
sure.
And I feel like Charlotte whenare you opening up your official
bar, because we all want tovisit it?
