Hello everybody.
Welcome to this week's episodeof the Main Street Talk podcast,
your go-to podcast foreverything Disney World related,
all the tips, all the news, theupdates, the closures, the
construction.
I'm your host Nick, and asalways with me is Joanie.
Hi.
Today is July 18th.
We are recording.
So everything is current up toJuly 18th, and yesterday was a
(00:31):
pretty big day in the world ofDisney.
Joni (00:34):
oh,
Nick (00:35):
Did you know this Well,
Joni (00:35):
well I knew a few minutes ago
Nick (00:38):
yesterday.
Disneyland turned 70 years old.
Joni (00:41):
Mm-hmm.
That is,
Nick (00:43):
is crazy.
Yeah.
To think that, that a theme parkis 70 years old.
But not so crazy.
If you think about, how WaltDisney, you know, we all know
the story.
He went to the park with his twolittle kids, the two little
girls, and he was sitting on apark bench eating peanuts, I
think he said.
And he thought to himself itwould be great if there was an
amusement park where familiescould go and spend time
(01:05):
together.
So he made that, uh, dream areality.
Yeah.
And Disneyland became obviouslywhat it is.
And out of that, we got WaltDisney World.
So,
Joni (01:16):
other Disneys
Nick (01:17):
Disney in, yeah.
All the, the, the worldwideDisney Park.
So all started from Disneyland70 years ago yesterday.
Yeah.
That's, to me, that's just crazyto think about because he was so
ahead of his
Joni (01:29):
probably wasn't even a forethought to have ships
either.
Nick (01:32):
What do you mean cruises?
Oh yeah.
Not
Joni (01:34):
Not even a forethought for him.
Nick (01:36):
Oh yeah.
But he was way ahead of his timewith thinking.
He was always wondering whythings couldn't be done.
And pushed the button to where,as far as technology would let
him go, and he pushed his peoplefor that.
So, so happy birthday,Disneyland.
Happy birthday.
And with that, we're gonna getinto the news for Walt Disney
(01:57):
World in the Magic Kingdom,
Joni (02:01):
Rivers
Nick (02:01):
of America.
So the water level is loweringfor the big drainage, so they're
getting ready.
To drain that river.
And like Walt said, Disneyland'snever done.
We gotta move forward, right?
So
Joni (02:17):
we're
Nick (02:18):
ready to drain the river for, for cars land, that's gonna
be over there.
And another thing that hashappened over in that area by
big Thunder Mountain Railroad isthe Walt Disney World Railroad
has started to be removed.
Joni (02:29):
Yeah.
I saw an aerial view of that,
Nick (02:32):
yeah, pretty.
Yeah.
So
Joni (02:34):
surreal.
Nick (02:35):
Pretty surreal, but the railroad is, is still running
back and forth between, MainStreet and, storybook Circus.
Joni (02:42):
So the railroad's still running through Main Street to
Storybook
Nick (02:44):
Circus?
Yep.
Back and forth, back and forthall day.
So it's acting as a, a shuttleservice.
But the refurbishment, speakingof the railroad at the Main
Street station is approachingcompletion.
Yeah.
Joni (02:56):
Yeah.
I guess a big portion of, it'snot even accessible.
Nick (03:01):
Yeah.
They had, I don't know what theycall'em, not walls, but
partitions or whatever, I don'tknow.
Joni (03:05):
Yeah.
Divides.
Nick (03:06):
Yeah.
But, according to some blogs Iread, that is nearing
completion.
So, um,
Joni (03:11):
very soon.
Nick (03:12):
very soon.
Very soon, yes.
Going into the holiday partiesmickey's not so scary.
Halloween party has sold out forAugust 19th, so that makes it,
the second sellout night.
Of course, the first night thissold out as usual was Halloween
night.
Mm-hmm.
Joni (03:27):
Mm-hmm.
Nick (03:28):
And that sold out the day that, uh, tickets went on sale.
The
Joni (03:32):
the sale date.
Yeah.
for sure.
Nick (03:34):
So if you're going to Mickey's not so scary.
Or if you're planning to, Iwould buy the tickets sooner
rather than later.
'Cause you just, you, you don'twant to get, if you want go, you
don't wanna get locked out.
Right.
You know?
For sure.
Joni (03:48):
Well, and I, we didn't care when we went.
We just wanted to go.
We went in August.
Nick (03:51):
went in August.
Yeah, we went in August.
Not, you know, that surprises methat it's this random August
19th sold out.
Why August 19th?
You would to, in my mind, youwould think the week of
Halloween would sell out first.
You know?
'cause people wanna be there forHalloween,
Joni (04:04):
maybe for school.
Nick (04:06):
That's true.
Oh yeah, that is
Joni (04:07):

Nick (04:11):
be hot,
Joni (04:12):
you know, than the sun out there.
Nick (04:14):
But yeah, so you know, like I said, get those tickets
if you're wanting to go.
And that goes for the Christmasparty as well.
I don't think we're in anydanger of them selling out
anytime real soon, but
Joni (04:25):
as it approaches it's gonna be more.

'cause I, I don't know, itwasn't a huge story, so a couple
weeks ago, the photo passphotographers were testing new
Sony cameras.
So originally Disney and had apartnership with, I think he's
Nikon, I don't know how to saythat word.
They had a partnership withNikon from 2013 to 2021.
So the photo pass people usedthose cameras.
Joni (10:27):
Now,
Nick (10:28):
obviously that contract is up.

ago, and they are going to usethem for all the parks.

maybe they thought it was histime didn't move on.
Like I said, I don't knowanything about cameras, but I,
the website I was on had all thespecs and everything, which is
completely foreign to me, but Ican't imagine they would, I
would imagine it would be apretty big upgrade if they were
gonna upgrade.
Joni (11:16):
Well, and I can't imagine any of the cast members actually
submitting any photos that.
Weren't good, so they probably
Nick (11:23):

Barnstormer.

I don't know.
I'm gonna look that up rightnow.
I always call it goofyBarnstormer.
Joni (15:01):
call it barnstormer.
Well, you go in and do what youhave on it?
Firstly, because you seem tohave a little bit more
information than I do.
So you can go ahead, and giveyour descriptions and titling.
Nick (15:14):
The official Walt Disney World website calls it the
Barnstormer.
I don't know why.
I've always called it goofy
Joni (15:19):
yeah, I wondered why you Were throwing goofy in there.
So,
Nick (15:22):
According to Disney's website, it's in fantasy land
must be 35 inches.
It says age, interest,preschoolers, kids, which that's
untrue because I will go on thisthing all day.
We have,
Joni (15:35):
have, we have
Nick (15:38):
thrill level is small drops.
And when I dug up on thebarnstormer.
Goofy's.
Barnstormer is a kid friendlyrollercoaster located in the
storybook circus area of thefantasy land at Magic Kingdom in
Walt Disney World.
The ride originally opened in1996 as the Barnstormer at
Goofy's Wise Acre farm, part ofthe now retired Mickey's Tune
(16:01):
town Fair.
Back then the theme featuredGoofy as a clumsy stunt pilot
flying through his owncartoonish farm with the
coaster, zooming through a redbarn filled with humorous props.
In 2011 as part of the newFantasy Land expansion Tune Town
Fair was closed and reimaginedinto Storybook Circus.
The ride was re themed andrenamed Goofy's Barnstormer
(16:21):
featuring the great G Gini.
So right there it says Goofy'sBarnstormer.
Joni (16:25):
Mm-hmm.
Nick (16:26):
Transforming goofy into a circus stunt pilot, performing
daring and silly aerial trickswhile the rides track layout
remain mostly the same, it'sscenery and storyline were
updated to fit the new circustheme.
Good.
Joni (16:38):
Okay.
Nick (16:40):
That's what I got
Joni (16:40):
That's a mouthful.
It that
Nick (16:42):
That one's a lot.
Yeah.
It, it looks like I'm reading,but you know, I typed it out
and, it looks smaller than.
What I just read, it lookssmaller on
Joni (16:51):
that's what I was gonna say.
That's an awful lot to be saidabout, Okay.
Well I have just a tiny bit toadd to that.
Just some uh.
like you had already mentionedthat it height requirement is 35
inches.
The capacity there are 16 ridersper train with two riders per
vehicle sitting side by side.
It's a tier two multipass.
To enjoy this ride, you must beable to transfer from a
(17:14):
wheelchair or an electricscooter vehicle, into the ride
car.
And the duration is less thanone minute.
It's a very, very very shortride.
Yeah.
Nick (17:25):
It seems longer.
Huh?
Joni (17:27):
But you did say that it, was a, um, 1996, October 1st.
Nick (17:33):
Uh, I said 1996.
Yes.
Okay.
Yep.
Joni (17:38):
I was trying to follow along with what you had and what
I had, So, so we didn't give thesame information twice.
Nick (17:43):
So Barnstormer,, it's a fun ride.
It's a cute ride.
I, I still enjoy it.
The good thing about Barnstormerin my opinion is if you have a
child that's, you know, let'ssay four or five years old and
you want to break them in Yeah.
To a rollercoaster, sure.
This is the perfect
Joni (17:59):
yeah.
This is absolutely the breakin.
absolutely.
The breakin rollercoaster
Nick (18:03):
in rollercoaster, it's cute, it's themed.
Joni (18:05):
It's the
Nick (18:06):
in a plane in the park.
Joni (18:06):
one in the parks.
small,
Nick (18:08):
there's no big drops.
It's just a perfect first timerollercoaster.
We took our.
Then you can
Joni (18:15):
Then you can graduate to the others like you know, the
other smallers, like Snow White.
Nick (18:19):
Yeah.
Seven Dwarfs.
Yep.
That's, that's what we did.
We, two of our, our grandkids,we went, um, one of them had
been on Roller Co.
Had been on Slinky before, buthe did not have the best
experience on there.
But we took them both.
And we started with BarnesDormer and then we worked to
Seven Dwarfs.
Mm-hmm.
And then Big Thunder, I believe.
Joni (18:40):
yeah, well ultimately we did all of them.
in a week vacation.
So,
Nick (18:42):
um,
Joni (18:43):
Every rollercoaster.
Nick (18:44):
then Space Mountain, yeah,
Joni (18:46):
Yeah.
Nick (18:47):
they're still mad at me,
Joni (18:49):
so anyway, yeah, this is a great, great one.
Um, just, just remember, uh,keep in mind in this growth
chart, if you guys are, puttingin for it, we'll help with this
as well, but 35 inches for isthe height requirement for this
ride.
Nick (19:02):
Yeah.
And you mentioned it's a, it's atier two lightning lane.
I wouldn't, unless you're gonnause this as a burner ride.
I, I wouldn't
Joni (19:10):
oh.
No, not at
Nick (19:11):
light.
It's, we've never, it's a 15minute wait.
I think it's the longest we'veever waited.
Joni (19:16):
I don't even know that we've waited that
Nick (19:18):
that.
And last year, I remember wewent on it
Joni (19:20):
Total burner ride.
Nick (19:21):
minute waits.
So Yeah.
Don't, don't waste the lightninglane on it unless you're gonna,
you know.
Use a burner ride on it and thatstrategy, we've talked about
that strategy on past shows.
But yeah.
Super cute ride.
Take your kids on it.
Not a lot of fun.
Joni (19:36):
And I love the little cutout of
Nick (19:38):
Yeah.
Goofy
Joni (19:39):
with his body and
Nick (19:40):
Yeah,
Joni (19:41):
like flying through the pieces of wood.
Cute.
Nick (19:44):
So,
Joni (19:45):
it's got the little propeller on the front, like a
Nick (19:46):
Yes, it does.
Um, yeah.
And it's got the, uh, above yourhead, like, you know, the Yeah,
the old school planes that hadthe uh, yeah, yeah.
The canopy above your head.
So yeah.
Goofy's, barnstormer.
I'm gonna call it goofy's.
Barnstormer.
Joni (19:58):
That's right.
You're gonna get me to say thatthat.
way.
Nick (20:02):
All right, that's our spotlight on attraction for this
week.
So let's go over to Joni'sseries on the first appearances.
First appearances.
Okay, So, Today I'm kind ofundecided how I'm gonna do this,
and I really would like someinsight if you guys would
comment on any of our areas ofsocial media.
I initially started out, wantedto do this as, First appearances
(20:26):
for C.
Just characters in general.
Characters
Joni (20:28):
Characters
Nick (20:29):
general.
Yeah.
And
Joni (20:30):
then I'm gone on to, an order of appearance of movie
Right,
Nick (20:34):
by day.
Right?
Yeah.
Right, right.
Opening day.
Yeah.
By date, the first
Joni (20:36):
first appearance day.
so, and then I'm like, gosh,what do I do?
Because.
Now we did Snow White, we didCinderella.
But in between Snow White andCinderella, there's a lot of
movies.
in
Nick (20:47):
We skipped a big chunk of movies.
So
Joni (20:49):
I, but in my train of thought at that time, I had it
to do the princesses.
So I think we're gonna goforward with the princesses in
their release date order.
And then maybe circle back.
And Do like the older ones, likethe Dumbo and the Rescuers and
(21:10):
different Things like that.
Nick (21:10):
we're gonna do princesses first in order of appearance.
So we knocked out Snow White andCinderella.
Today.
Joni (21:16):
We're doing Aurora.
Nick (21:17):
Okay.
What year is Aurora?
Joni (21:19):
Aurora is, for any of you that don't know this, she's with
Sleeping Beauty.
So Aurora came out, her firstappearance was January 29th,
1959.
Her age in the movie is 16.
The creators are Walt DisneyBrothers Grim, Charles Peralt
and Mark Davis.
(21:40):
And I listened to thepronunciation of this for quite
some time earlier today'cause Ido not speak French.
Um,
Nick (21:47):
Is that what I heard?
We, I'm
Joni (21:49):
I'm gonna, try, I'm gonna try to say this and everybody's
probably screaming it at their,
Nick (21:54):
you were trying to learn a new
Joni (21:56):
No.
Well, you know and I am learninga language, but it's just not
French yet.
I'll get to that one though, sobear with me on this.
But anyway, the fairytale is, LA
Nick (22:04):
Bel
Joni (22:07):
Bra.
Nick (22:08):
Domo.
Joni (22:08):
No, that's not right.
Nick (22:10):
good to me.
If there is anybody in Francelistening to this, I apologize.
Joni (22:14):
I apologize.
Good Lord have mercy.
Okay, anyway, it's supposed tomean, and you know, of course
the French say it moreeloquently.
but, It's supposed to meansleeping beauty in the woods.
Is how this is made from, it'sby Charles per It published in
1697.
The Brothers Grim also publishedtheir version Little Briar Rose
(22:36):
in 1812.
So her occupation is, she's aprincess who is raised as a
peasant.
Her father Stefan and QueenLeah, she's an only child.
Her AKAs are Briar Rose and herSidekicks Her family rather are
(22:57):
Flora.
Fauna and Maryweather and thoseare the little fairy girl, the,
you know.
the fairies.
Yeah.
So they're quite a, quite asight to see them bicker and
back and forth to each othersometimes, you know,
Nick (23:10):
gonna have to watch
Joni (23:10):
different things around because they all have their
specific colors.
that they like.
So yeah.
It's cute.
So anyway, sleeping Beauties,spouse if you would, his name is
Philip and he is 20 in themovie.
She's obviously, as I said,French, and, her traits are that
she is stubborn, romantic,cheerful, angelic, blissful,
(23:33):
graceful, loving, gentle,friendly, and poised.
Nick (23:37):
That, that's a, that's a lot of
Joni (23:38):
That's a, That's a lot of
Nick (23:39):
That's a lot of
Joni (23:40):
That's a, That's a, whole
Nick (23:42):
almost as long as my barnstormer speech.
Joni (23:45):
And then, there have been some follow up.
movies Really?
So I
Nick (23:49):
did not know
Joni (23:50):
Um, well, yes you do.
Nick (23:51):
I do.
Joni (23:52):
You do.
Maleficent?
Nick (23:54):
Oh yeah.
Joni (23:54):
2000 and
Nick (23:55):
Yeah.
14.
Joni (23:57):
And then, um, my left Ascent mistress of Evil.
In 2019.
Nick (24:02):
So
Joni (24:04):
So a little bit of miscellaneous information is
Aurora is cursed by the evil.
Fairy Maleficent at herchristening, and the curse
states that Aurora will die frompricking her finger on a
spinning wheel before her 16thbirthday.
However, a good fairy alters thecurse.
She can't reverse it, so it'sstill going to happen, but
instead of her, dying, which iswhat evil Maleficent had
Nick (24:30):
had in mind, hold upon
Joni (24:31):
her the good fairy.
Changes it up a bit and justputs her to sleep instead of
Nick (24:40):
Okay, done Sleeping beauty.
So,
Joni (24:42):
yeah, exactly.
So however, the good fairyalters the curse so that Aurora
instead falls into a deep sleeponly to be awoken by true Loves
Nick (24:51):
Okay.
I don't remember a lot of this.
Joni (24:53):
I, just asked Nick earlier tonight if he had seen this
movie and Nick's not big on, youknow, he's a guy, you know, he's
gonna sit around and watchprincess movies.
No,
Nick (25:01):
but I'm interested in watching this because, I mean, I
do like Maleficent.
I know you do.
I mean, I
Joni (25:07):
That's when you're like, I haven't seen any, of
Nick (25:08):
yeah, you have.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I did for you.
I mean, Maleficent is on my, myDisney card, so I do like
Maleficent.
Joni (25:15):
Yeah.
Nick (25:15):
But it's been a while since I've seen Sleeping
Joni (25:18):
Yeah.
So that's what I have for her.
Well,
Nick (25:21):
Okay.
Well, we're, I think we're gonnahave to watch that very soon.
Maybe tonight, maybe, maybe.
I
Joni (25:28):
I think we should do at least one a week.
I think we should watch whateverwe're gonna talk about, even
though
Nick (25:32):
refresh our Yeah,
Joni (25:33):
Even though I've seen, Well, I'm looking at my list
here.
Nick (25:36):
We'll be right back.
We're gonna go watch SleepingBeauty real quick, and we will
be right back.
Joni (25:40):
I have watched every, everyone that I've seen so far
on my list, down I've I've seenquite a ways.
Yeah.
Well,
Nick (25:46):
All right.
Well, thank you.
That's, that's some good, I, Ilike that segment.
I learned a lot about, Disneymovies.
Sure.
Joni (25:52):
I mean, and I'm sure there's, I mean there's all
kinds of other information likeas far as who voices it, and who
does this.
and who does that,
Nick (25:57):
could go down huge rabbit
Joni (25:58):
Yeah, there's lots and lots and lots more information
Nick (26:01):
yeah, you could really get into that.
And what,
Joni (26:02):
the gist of it,
Nick (26:03):
what is the release date?
Joni (26:06):
Release date was January 29th, 1959.
Nick (26:11):
Disney World was almost four years old when that movie
was released.
Joni (26:14):
Wow.
Nick (26:15):
That's again, that's crazy.
Yeah, because Sleeping Beauty isan old movie.
Disneyland was up and running
Joni (26:21):
For four years For, yeah.
Nick (26:24):
almost four years.
Joni (26:25):
Wow.
Yeah.
There is another little bit oftidbit information in here, but
I've decided to opt out ofincluding that, um, just because
there's so many branches ofinformation that you can spin
off onto this stuff.
But all of these princesses thatwe're gonna go over, well, most
of them, not all of them, but alot of them have.
Children that are in more recentmovies.
(26:50):
Really?
Yes.
Such as?.
Once upon a time, thedescendants.
I
Nick (26:55):
was gonna say there was a show on I believe A, B, C, which
would make sense because Disneyowns A, B, C I'm pretty sure it
was a, B, C.
There was, the show was calledOnce Upon a Time.
Yeah.
And it was all about, likefairytale people.
But I think in modern
Joni (27:07):
if I can just back it up a little bit now that you
mentioned it and she's myfavorite.
So you mentioned Once Upon aTime, and so did I., Snow White
in the Once Upon a Time show ormovie.
Emma Swan and Neil Nolan areboth snow White's children.
Nick (27:24):
Oh, direct children, huh?
Joni (27:26):
Well, you know, for the movies,
Nick (27:28):
right?
Joni (27:29):
And Cinderella has Chad Charming and Chloe Charming, and
they're both in the descendants.
Nick (27:35):
Okay.
Joni (27:36):
So it's kind of interesting.
I mean, there's even, and then,uh, Aurora, and I'm not sure
what show or what movie thischild plays in, but she has a
daughter named Audrey.
Nick (27:45):
Okay.
Joni (27:47):
So I didn't do a whole lot of research continuing on with
those types of things, but maybeI will, just for my purposes,
'cause it's kind of
Nick (27:54):
in a huge, a huge entangled tree mess with that.
Joni (27:59):
But isn't it kind of neat, you know?
to see
Nick (28:01):
yeah, I like stuff like that.
Yeah.
Seen the lineage and thenstories carry on
Joni (28:06):
and then they got new movies and whatnot coming out
and I like watching thedescendants.
Nick (28:10):
I've never seen the descendants.
Really?
Nope.
Another one we gotta watch.
Joni (28:13):
I watched it with our oldest grandson.
Oh Yeah.
Nick (28:17):
Where was I?
I was probably taking a nap.
Joni (28:19):
Yeah.
maybe mowing grass.
I don't know.
Nick (28:21):
Okay.
So that's, leaves us into ourtip or trick of the week.
Okay.
Are you ready for the tip ortrick of the week?
Yeah.
This one seems obvious, likemany do, but, you gotta, you
gotta find stuff to do in Disneythat doesn't cost money.
Mm-hmm.
Save some money and one of thebest things you can do is just
hang out at your resort.
Or resort hop.
We'll get into resort hop onanother show.
(28:41):
But at, at Disney Resorts,whether it's a value, moderate
or deluxe or DVC Villa, thereare always activities to do.
Some cost, money, some are free.
Joni (28:52):
Mm-hmm.
Nick (28:54):
every resort has a, bulletin.
Yeah, usually in the lobby or bythe pool somewhere.
That'll show you what times.
Joni (29:01):
It's also on the.
my Disney Experience apps.
I, believe you can get it onthere, can't you?
Nick (29:05):
No, I don't believe it's on the app.
There is a website out therethat's updated like weekly, that
it's not Disney related, but,,if you Google it, you'll, you'll
be able to find
Joni (29:15):
in the front desk.
We always get flyers from thefront desk and we take it to our
room.
The front, your front desk atyour hotels will have these?
events.
We
Nick (29:22):
they
Joni (29:23):
it.
We, We did it, yeah.
when we got our anniversary.
pins,
Nick (29:26):
So basically what these are is,, anything from like pool
games, trivias games at thepool, um, tie, ding, I think
that's extra.
I think most of the resorts dotie, tie ding.
What they did really
Joni (29:41):
they, they have the night in the movies.
Nick (29:43):
Every night there's a movie
Joni (29:44):
night.
there's a movie.
They switch it around.
They
Nick (29:46):
Under the stars.
Joni (29:47):
Yep.
They have s'mores.
Nick (29:48):
have s'mores.
S'mores.
You, they have a campfire.
The marshmallows are free.
The graham crackers andchocolate.
It is additional costs.
But we took our
Joni (29:57):
we did take our own the first time.
We did not.
We did not.
because We didn't know what wedidn't know.
So,
Nick (30:01):
So yeah, we, we packed, we packed chocolate and Graham
crackers from home.
Yep.
Right.
Yeah.
And we took, we went right outto the fire and nobody said
anything.
Yep.
Who's gonna, you know?
Yeah.
But a lot of them are resortspecific, depending on where
you're staying, what they'regonna do.
Like at Animal Kingdom, they dolike, African bead making and
stuff like that.
(30:21):
I mean, that's an extra charge.
But what interesting thing theywere doing when we were there
last time I was in the giftshop, I think.
Joni (30:27):
gonna talk about the floor.
Nick (30:28):
Yes.
I went somewhere
Joni (30:30):
that was so much fun
Nick (30:31):
I came back and Jonie is sitting on the floor, and this
is in Jambo house, this hugeoversized lobby, Joni's sitting
on the floor with about 13 kidsaround her with a crayon.
And I'm like, what are youdoing?
So on the floor at the AnimalKingdom Lodge, there's like, um,
metal imprints of animals on thefloor.
And they give you a, they giveyou a piece of paper and you
(30:53):
take a crayon over it and youmake, an indention.
Joni (30:55):
have, you hold it sideways.
Yeah.
And you, and you just, you know,like you're tracing out right.
Shadowing like a leaf.
Like you just take a, but yeah,it
Nick (31:04):
color the paper and the empty space.
Yep.
Makes up the
Joni (31:07):
It was so neat and I had no idea and we had walked over
that thing a bazillion times, Iknow.
And I'm doing that every singletime now.
because there's, a, there's alot of animals and you can make
your own scenic thing that canget as big as a piece of paper
as you want and you know,different colors and Yeah.
It's really.
neat.
Nick (31:24):
So yeah, make sure you, you know, if you're on Disney
Resort,, they do stuff.
Joni (31:28):
then another thing, even that same day that was happening
is off in the, in the backgroundof doing this,
Nick (31:34):
art
Joni (31:34):
the floor, there was a, a man, a younger man, carving out
Wood animals.
Wood animals, for animal
Nick (31:43):
Yeah.
Then he was selling'em in thegift shop.
Joni (31:45):
Yep.
So those things that you canbuy.
Which, you know, we have some,we you can buy'em in the gift
shop.
He literally, it was just sointriguing and interesting to
see somebody actually doing it.
Like, you know, somebody, handdid it But to actually be
watching it done was very, itwas really cool.
Nick (32:01):
Yeah.
So, and you know, that's what Imean by resort specific, like
that was specific to AnimalKingdom, but every resort, I
don't know if the values do,'cause the values are kind of
all, you know, one and the same.
But, yeah, just check out yourresort.
Find things to do around therebecause I mean, you can have,
you can have a lot of fun atyour resort.
Joni (32:18):
Yeah.
And it's not, it's not toostressful.
And, you know, we always, wealways do stuff around our
resort on our off days.
We
Nick (32:24):
always try to do at least one night of a movie under the
stars.
Mm-hmm.
Because it's relaxing.
It's,
Joni (32:29):
relaxing.
we actually watched, the lasttime we were there, we watched
Tangled.
Nick (32:33):
It was Tangled.
Yes.
Ani.
Joni (32:35):
Yep.
Nick (32:37):
but Kani has their movie theater right next to, the bar.
Joni (32:40):
Yeah,
Nick (32:40):
the outdoor bar.
Yeah.
Which, I mean, it's fine.
It didn't get rowdy or anything,but you could, you know, people
were
Joni (32:45):
rowdy at Kani.
Nick (32:46):
Yeah.
People were swimming and, youknow, kids were diving in the
water and stuff, which it wasfine, but it's
Joni (32:52):
it's it's a smaller area.
Yeah, I think some of the valueshave more space.
Nick (32:57):
Well, yeah.
Joni (32:58):
like when we were at pop.
It had a bigger space.
Yeah,
Nick (33:00):
it had a bigger
Joni (33:01):
You know, you get the pool chairs to sit in And, You can
lounge back and different thingslike that.
Nick (33:07):
Yeah.
So check out your resortactivities.
It's free., It's, you know, it'sfun to do.
Yeah.
Some of it is not free.
But every on the poster board orwhatever the bulletin they have,
it'll have dower signs next toall the paid

Hello everybody.
Welcome to this week's episodeof the Main Street Talk podcast,
your go-to podcast foreverything Disney World related,
all the tips, all the news, theupdates, the closures, the
construction.
I'm your host Nick, and asalways with me is Joanie.
Hi.
Today is July 18th.
We are recording.
So everything is current up toJuly 18th, and yesterday was a
(00:31):
pretty big day in the world ofDisney.
Joni (00:34):
oh,
Nick (00:35):
Did you know this Well,
Joni (00:35):
well I knew a few minutes ago
Nick (00:38):
yesterday.
Disneyland turned 70 years old.
Joni (00:41):
Mm-hmm.
That is,
Nick (00:43):
is crazy.
Yeah.
To think that, that a theme parkis 70 years old.
But not so crazy.
If you think about, how WaltDisney, you know, we all know
the story.
He went to the park with his twolittle kids, the two little
girls, and he was sitting on apark bench eating peanuts, I
think he said.
And he thought to himself itwould be great if there was an
amusement park where familiescould go and spend time
(01:05):
together.
So he made that, uh, dream areality.
Yeah.
And Disneyland became obviouslywhat it is.
And out of that, we got WaltDisney World.
So,
Joni (01:16):
other Disneys
Nick (01:17):
Disney in, yeah.
All the, the, the worldwideDisney Park.
So all started from Disneyland70 years ago yesterday.
Yeah.
That's, to me, that's just crazyto think about because he was so
ahead of his
Joni (01:29):
probably wasn't even a forethought to have ships
either.
Nick (01:32):
What do you mean cruises?
Oh yeah.
Not
Joni (01:34):
Not even a forethought for him.
Nick (01:36):
Oh yeah.
But he was way ahead of his timewith thinking.

So the railroad's still running through Main Street to
Storybook

'cause I, I don't know, itwasn't a huge story, so a couple
weeks ago, the photo passphotographers were testing new
Sony cameras.
So originally Disney and had apartnership with, I think he's
Nikon, I don't know how to saythat word.
They had a partnership withNikon from 2013 to 2021.
So the photo pass people usedthose cameras.
Joni (10:27):
Now,

Like I said, I don't knowanything about cameras, but I,
the website I was on had all thespecs and everything, which is
completely foreign to me, but Ican't imagine they would, I
would imagine it would be apretty big upgrade if they were
gonna upgrade.
Joni (11:16):

submitting any photos that.
Weren't good, so they probably
Nick (11:23):

Barnstormer.
'cause I've, minimized
Nick (14:57):

I don't know.
I'm gonna look that up rightnow.
I always call it goofyBarnstormer.
Joni (15:01):
call it barnstormer.
Well, you go in and do what youhave on it?
Firstly, because you seem tohave a little bit more
information than I do.
So you can go ahead, and giveyour descriptions and titling.
Nick (15:14):
The official Walt Disney World website calls it the
Barnstormer.
I don't know why.
I've always called it goofy
Joni (15:19):
yeah, I wondered why you Were throwing goofy in there.
So,
Nick (15:22):
According to Disney's website, it's in fantasy land
must be 35 inches.
It says age, interest,preschoolers, kids, which that's
untrue because I will go on thisthing all day.
We have,
Joni (15:35):
have, we have
Nick (15:38):
thrill level is small drops.
And when I dug up on thebarnstormer.
Goofy's.
Barnstormer is a kid friendlyrollercoaster located in the
storybook circus area of thefantasy land at Magic Kingdom in
Walt Disney World.
The ride originally opened in1996 as the Barnstormer at
Goofy's Wise Acre farm, part ofthe now retired Mickey's Tune
(16:01):
town Fair.
Back then the theme featuredGoofy as a clumsy stunt pilot
flying through his owncartoonish farm with the
coaster, zooming through a redbarn filled with humorous props.
In 2011 as part of the newFantasy Land expansion Tune Town
Fair was closed and reimaginedinto Storybook Circus.
The ride was re themed andrenamed Goofy's Barnstormer
(16:21):
featuring the great G Gini.
So right there it says Goofy'sBarnstormer.
Joni (16:25):
Mm-hmm.
Nick (16:26):
Transforming goofy into a circus stunt pilot, performing
daring and silly aerial trickswhile the rides track layout
remain mostly the same, it'sscenery and storyline were
updated to fit the new circustheme.
Good.
Joni (16:38):
Okay.
Nick (16:40):
That's what I got
Joni (16:40):
That's a mouthful.
It that
Nick (16:42):
That one's a lot.
Yeah.
It, it looks like I'm reading,but you know, I typed it out
and, it looks smaller than.
What I just read, it lookssmaller on
Joni (16:51):
that's what I was gonna say.
That's an awful lot to be saidabout, Okay.
Well I have just a tiny bit toadd to that.
Just some uh.
like you had already mentionedthat it height requirement is 35
inches.
The capacity there are 16 ridersper train with two riders per
vehicle sitting side by side.
It's a tier two multipass.
To enjoy this ride, you must beable to transfer from a
(17:14):
wheelchair or an electricscooter vehicle, into the ride
car.
And the duration is less thanone minute.
It's a very, very very shortride.
Yeah.
Nick (17:25):
It seems longer.
Huh?
Joni (17:27):
But you did say that it, was a, um, 1996, October 1st.
Nick (17:33):
Uh, I said 1996.
Yes.
Okay.
Yep.
Joni (17:38):
I was trying to follow along with what you had and what
I had, So, so we didn't give thesame information twice.
Nick (17:43):
So Barnstormer,, it's a fun ride.
It's a cute ride.
I, I still enjoy it.
The good thing about Barnstormerin my opinion is if you have a
child that's, you know, let'ssay four or five years old and
you want to break them in Yeah.
To a rollercoaster, sure.
This is the perfect
Joni (17:59):
yeah.
This is absolutely the breakin.
absolutely.
The breakin rollercoaster
Nick (18:03):
in rollercoaster, it's cute, it's themed.
Joni (18:05):
It's the
Nick (18:06):
in a plane in the park.
Joni (18:06):
one in the parks.
small,
Nick (18:08):
there's no big drops.
It's just a perfect first timerollercoaster.
We took our.
Then you can
Joni (18:15):
Then you can graduate to the others like you know, the
other smallers, like Snow White.
Nick (18:19):
Yeah.
Seven Dwarfs.
Yep.
That's, that's what we did.
We, two of our, our grandkids,we went, um, one of them had
been on Roller Co.
Had been on Slinky before, buthe did not have the best
experience on there.
But we took them both.
And we started with BarnesDormer and then we worked to
Seven Dwarfs.
Mm-hmm.
And then Big Thunder, I believe.
Joni (18:40):
yeah, well ultimately we did all of them.
in a week vacation.
So,
Nick (18:42):
um,
Joni (18:43):
Every rollercoaster.
Nick (18:44):
then Space Mountain, yeah,
Joni (18:46):
Yeah.
Nick (18:47):
they're still mad at me,
Joni (18:49):
so anyway, yeah, this is a great, great one.
Um, just, just remember, uh,keep in mind in this growth
chart, if you guys are, puttingin for it, we'll help with this
as well, but 35 inches for isthe height requirement for this
ride.
Nick (19:02):
Yeah.
And you mentioned it's a, it's atier two lightning lane.
I wouldn't, unless you're gonnause this as a burner ride.
I, I wouldn't
Joni (19:10):
oh.
No, not at
Nick (19:11):
light.
It's, we've never, it's a 15minute wait.
I think it's the longest we'veever waited.
Joni (19:16):
I don't even know that we've waited that
Nick (19:18):
that.
And last year, I remember wewent on it
Joni (19:20):
Total burner ride.
Nick (19:21):
minute waits.
So Yeah.
Don't, don't waste the lightninglane on it unless you're gonna,
you know.
Use a burner ride on it and thatstrategy, we've talked about
that strategy on past shows.
But yeah.
Super cute ride.
Take your kids on it.
Not a lot of fun.
Joni (19:36):
And I love the little cutout of
Nick (19:38):

Barnstormer.
Joni (19:58):
That's right.
You're gonna get me to say thatthat.
way.
Nick (20:02):
All right, that's our spotlight on attraction for this
week.
So let's go over to Joni'sseries on the first appearances.
First appearances.
Okay, So, Today I'm kind ofundecided how I'm gonna do this,
and I really would like someinsight if you guys would
comment on any of our areas ofsocial media.
I initially started out, wantedto do this as, First appearances
(20:26):
for C.
Just characters in general.
Characters
Joni (20:28):
Characters
Nick (20:29):
general.
Yeah.
And
Joni (20:30):
then I'm gone on to, an order of appearance of movie
Right,
Nick (20:34):
by day.
Right?
Yeah.
Right, right.
Opening day.
Yeah.
By date, the first
Joni (20:36):
first appearance day.
so, and then I'm like, gosh,what do I do?
Because.
Now we did Snow White, we didCinderella.
But in between Snow White andCinderella, there's a lot of
movies.
in
Nick (20:47):
We skipped a big chunk of movies.
So
Joni (20:49):
I, but in my train of thought at that time, I had it
to do the princesses.
So I think we're gonna goforward with the princesses in
their release date order.
And then maybe circle back.
And Do like the older ones, likethe Dumbo and the Rescuers and
(21:10):
different Things like that.
Nick (21:10):
we're gonna do princesses first in order of appearance.
So we knocked out Snow White andCinderella.
Today.
Joni (21:16):
We're doing Aurora.
Nick (21:17):
Okay.
What year is Aurora?
Joni (21:19):
Aurora is, for any of you that don't know this, she's with
Sleeping Beauty.
So Aurora came out, her firstappearance was January 29th,
1959.
Her age in the movie is 16.
The creators are Walt DisneyBrothers Grim, Charles Peralt
and Mark Davis.
(21:40):
And I listened to thepronunciation of this for quite
some time earlier today'cause Ido not speak French.
Um,
Nick (21:47):
Is that what I heard?
We, I'm
Joni (21:49):
I'm gonna, try, I'm gonna try to say this and everybody's
probably screaming it at their,
Nick (21:54):
you were trying to learn a new
Joni (21:56):
No.
Well, you know and I am learninga language, but it's just not
French yet.
I'll get to that one though, sobear with me on this.
But anyway, the fairytale is, LA
Nick (22:04):
Bel
Joni (22:07):
Bra.
Nick (22:08):
Domo.
Joni (22:08):
No, that's not right.
Nick (22:10):
good to me.
If there is anybody in Francelistening to this, I apologize.
Joni (22:14):
I apologize.
Good Lord have mercy.
Okay, anyway, it's supposed tomean, and you know, of course
the French say it moreeloquently.
but, It's supposed to meansleeping beauty in the woods.
Is how this is made from, it'sby Charles per It published in
1697.
The Brothers Grim also publishedtheir version Little Briar Rose
(22:36):
in 1812.
So her occupation is, she's aprincess who is raised as a
peasant.
Her father Stefan and QueenLeah, she's an only child.
Her AKAs are Briar Rose and herSidekicks Her family rather are
(22:57):
Flora.
Fauna and Maryweather and thoseare the little fairy girl, the,
you know.
the fairies.
Yeah.
So they're quite a, quite asight to see them bicker and
back and forth to each othersometimes, you know,
Nick (23:10):
gonna have to watch
Joni (23:10):
different things around because they all have their
specific colors.
that they like.
So yeah.
It's cute.
So anyway, sleeping Beauties,spouse if you would, his name is
Philip and he is 20 in themovie.
She's obviously, as I said,French, and, her traits are that
she is stubborn, romantic,cheerful, angelic, blissful,
(23:33):
graceful, loving, gentle,friendly, and poised.
Nick (23:37):
That, that's a, that's a lot of
Joni (23:38):
That's a, That's a lot of
Nick (23:39):
That's a lot of
Joni (23:40):
That's a, That's a, whole
Nick (23:42):
almost as long as my barnstormer speech.
Joni (23:45):
And then, there have been some follow up.
movies Really?
So I
Nick (23:49):
did not know
Joni (23:50):
Um, well, yes you do.
Nick (23:51):
I do.
Joni (23:52):
You do.
Maleficent?
Nick (23:54):
Oh yeah.
Joni (23:54):
2000 and
Nick (23:55):
Yeah.
14.
Joni (23:57):
And then, um, my left Ascent mistress of Evil.
In 2019.
Nick (24:02):
So
Joni (24:04):
So a little bit of miscellaneous information is
Aurora is cursed by the evil.
Fairy Maleficent at herchristening, and the curse
states that Aurora will die frompricking her finger on a
spinning wheel before her 16thbirthday.
However, a good fairy alters thecurse.
She can't reverse it, so it'sstill going to happen, but
instead of her, dying, which iswhat evil Maleficent had
Nick (24:30):
had in mind, hold upon
Joni (24:31):
her the good fairy.
Changes it up a bit and justputs her to sleep instead of
Nick (24:40):
Okay, done Sleeping beauty.
So,
Joni (24:42):
yeah, exactly.
So however, the good fairyalters the curse so that Aurora
instead falls into a deep sleeponly to be awoken by true Loves
Nick (24:51):
Okay.
I don't remember a lot of this.
Joni (24:53):
I, just asked Nick earlier tonight if he had seen this
movie and Nick's not big on, youknow, he's a guy, you know, he's
gonna sit around and watchprincess movies.
No,
Nick (25:01):
but I'm interested in watching this because, I mean, I
do like Maleficent.
I know you do.
I mean, I
Joni (25:07):
That's when you're like, I haven't seen any, of
Nick (25:08):
yeah, you have.
Oh, yeah, yeah, I did for you.
I mean, Maleficent is on my, myDisney card, so I do like
Maleficent.
Joni (25:15):
Yeah.
Nick (25:15):
But it's been a while since I've seen Sleeping
Joni (25:18):
Yeah.
So that's what I have for her.
Well,
Nick (25:21):
Okay.
Well, we're, I think we're gonnahave to watch that very soon.
Maybe tonight, maybe, maybe.
I
Joni (25:28):
I think we should do at least one a week.
I think we should watch whateverwe're gonna talk about, even
though
Nick (25:32):
refresh our Yeah,
Joni (25:33):
Even though I've seen, Well, I'm looking at my list
here.
Nick (25:36):
We'll be right back.
We're gonna go watch SleepingBeauty real quick, and we will
be right back.
Joni (25:40):
I have watched every, everyone that I've seen so far
on my list, down I've I've seenquite a ways.
Yeah.
Well,
Nick (25:46):
All right.
Well, thank you.
That's, that's some good, I, Ilike that segment.
I learned a lot about, Disneymovies.
Sure.
Joni (25:52):
I mean, and I'm sure there's, I mean there's all
kinds of other information likeas far as who voices it, and who
does this.
and who does that,
Nick (25:57):
could go down huge rabbit
Joni (25:58):
Yeah, there's lots and lots and lots more information
Nick (26:01):
yeah, you could really get into that.
And what,
Joni (26:02):
the gist of it,
Nick (26:03):
what is the release date?
Joni (26:06):
Release date was January 29th, 1959.
Nick (26:11):
Disney World was almost four years old when that movie
was released.
Joni (26:14):
Wow.
Nick (26:15):
That's again, that's crazy.
Yeah, because Sleeping Beauty isan old movie.
Disneyland was up and running
Joni (26:21):
For four years For, yeah.
Nick (26:24):
almost four years.
Joni (26:25):
Wow.
Yeah.
There is another little bit oftidbit information in here, but
I've decided to opt out ofincluding that, um, just because
there's so many branches ofinformation that you can spin
off onto this stuff.
But all of these princesses thatwe're gonna go over, well, most
of them, not all of them, but alot of them have.
Children that are in more recentmovies.
(26:50):
Really?
Yes.
Such as?.
Once upon a time, thedescendants.
I
Nick (26:55):
was gonna say there was a show on I believe A, B, C, which
would make sense because Disneyowns A, B, C I'm pretty sure it
was a, B, C.
There was, the show was calledOnce Upon a Time.
Yeah.
And it was all about, likefairytale people.
But I think in modern
Joni (27:07):
if I can just back it up a little bit now that you
mentioned it and she's myfavorite.
So you mentioned Once Upon aTime, and so did I., Snow White
in the Once Upon a Time show ormovie.
Emma Swan and Neil Nolan areboth snow White's children.
Nick (27:24):
Oh, direct children, huh?
Joni (27:26):
Well, you know, for the movies,
Nick (27:28):
right?
Joni (27:29):
And Cinderella has Chad Charming and Chloe Charming, and
they're both in the descendants.
Nick (27:35):
Okay.
Joni (27:36):
So it's kind of interesting.
I mean, there's even, and then,uh, Aurora, and I'm not sure
what show or what movie thischild plays in, but she has a
daughter named Audrey.
Nick (27:45):
Okay.
Joni (27:47):
So I didn't do a whole lot of research continuing on with
those types of things, but maybeI will, just for my purposes,
'cause it's kind of
Nick (27:54):
in a huge, a huge entangled tree mess with that.
Joni (27:59):
But isn't it kind of neat, you know?
to see
Nick (28:01):
yeah, I like stuff like that.
Yeah.
Seen the lineage and thenstories carry on
Joni (28:06):
and then they got new movies and whatnot coming out
and I like watching thedescendants.
Nick (28:10):
I've never seen the descendants.
Really?
Nope.
Another one we gotta watch.
Joni (28:13):
I watched it with our oldest grandson.
Oh Yeah.
Nick (28:17):
Where was I?
I was probably taking a nap.
Joni (28:19):
Yeah.
maybe mowing grass.
I don't know.
Nick (28:21):
Okay.
So that's, leaves us into ourtip or trick of the week.
Okay.
Are you ready for the tip ortrick of the week?
Yeah.
This one seems obvious, likemany do, but, you gotta, you
gotta find stuff to do in Disneythat doesn't cost money.
Mm-hmm.
Save some money and one of thebest things you can do is just
hang out at your resort.
Or resort hop.
We'll get into resort hop onanother show.
(28:41):
But at, at Disney Resorts,whether it's a value, moderate
or deluxe or DVC Villa, thereare always activities to do.
Some cost, money, some are free.
Joni (28:52):
Mm-hmm.
Nick (28:54):
every resort has a, bulletin.
Yeah, usually in the lobby or bythe pool somewhere.
That'll show you what times.
Joni (29:01):
It's also on the.
my Disney Experience apps.
I, believe you can get it onthere, can't you?
Nick (29:05):
No, I don't believe it's on the app.
There is a website out therethat's updated like weekly, that
it's not Disney related, but,,if you Google it, you'll, you'll
be able to find
Joni (29:15):
in the front desk.
We always get flyers from thefront desk and we take it to our
room.
The front, your front desk atyour hotels will have these?
events.
We
Nick (29:22):
they
Joni (29:23):
it.
We, We did it, yeah.
when we got our anniversary.
pins,
Nick (29:26):
So basically what these are is,, anything from like pool
games, trivias games at thepool, um, tie, ding, I think
that's extra.
I think most of the resorts dotie, tie ding.
What they did really
Joni (29:41):
they, they have the night in the movies.
Nick (29:43):
Every night there's a movie
Joni (29:44):
night.
there's a movie.
They switch it around.
They
Nick (29:46):
Under the stars.
Joni (29:47):
Yep.
They have s'mores.
Nick (29:48):
have s'mores.
S'mores.
You, they have a campfire.
The marshmallows are free.
The graham crackers andchocolate.
It is additional costs.
But we took our
Joni (29:57):
we did take our own the first time.
We did not.
We did not.
because We didn't know what wedidn't know.
So,
Nick (30:01):
So yeah, we, we packed, we packed chocolate and Graham
crackers from home.
Yep.
Right.
Yeah.
And we took, we went right outto the fire and nobody said
anything.
Yep.
Who's gonna, you know?
Yeah.
But a lot of them are resortspecific, depending on where
you're staying, what they'regonna do.
Like at Animal Kingdom, they dolike, African bead making and
stuff like that.
(30:21):
I mean, that's an extra charge.
But what interesting thing theywere doing when we were there
last time I was in the giftshop, I think.
Joni (30:27):
gonna talk about the floor.
Nick (30:28):
Yes.
I went somewhere
Joni (30:30):
that was so much fun
Nick (30:31):
I came back and Jonie is sitting on the floor, and this
is in Jambo house, this hugeoversized lobby, Joni's sitting
on the floor with about 13 kidsaround her with a crayon.
And I'm like, what are youdoing?
So on the floor at the AnimalKingdom Lodge, there's like, um,
metal imprints of animals on thefloor.
And they give you a, they giveyou a piece of paper and you
(30:53):
take a crayon over it and youmake, an indention.
Joni (30:55):
have, you hold it sideways.
Yeah.
And you, and you just, you know,like you're tracing out right.
Shadowing like a leaf.
Like you just take a, but yeah,it
Nick (31:04):
color the paper and the empty space.
Yep.
Makes up the
Joni (31:07):
It was so neat and I had no idea and we had walked over
that thing a bazillion times, Iknow.
And I'm doing that every singletime now.
because there's, a, there's alot of animals and you can make
your own scenic thing that canget as big as a piece of paper
as you want and you know,different colors and Yeah.
It's really.
neat.
Nick (31:24):
So yeah, make sure you, you know, if you're on Disney
Resort,, they do stuff.
Joni (31:28):
then another thing, even that same day that was happening
is off in the, in the backgroundof doing this,
Nick (31:34):
art
Joni (31:34):
the floor, there was a, a man, a younger man, carving out
Wood animals.
Wood animals, for animal
Nick (31:43):
Yeah.
Then he was selling'em in thegift shop.
Joni (31:45):
Yep.
So those things that you canbuy.
Which, you know, we have some,we you can buy'em in the gift
shop.
He literally, it was just sointriguing and interesting to
see somebody actually doing it.
Like, you know, somebody, handdid it But to actually be
watching it done was very, itwas really cool.
Nick (32:01):
Yeah.
So, and you know, that's what Imean by resort specific, like
that was specific to AnimalKingdom, but every resort, I
don't know if the values do,'cause the values are kind of
all, you know, one and the same.
But, yeah, just check out yourresort.
Find things to do around therebecause I mean, you can have,
you can have a lot of fun atyour resort.
Joni (32:18):
Yeah.
And it's not, it's not toostressful.
And, you know, we always, wealways do stuff around our
resort on our off days.
We
Nick (32:24):
always try to do at least one night of a movie under the
stars.
Mm-hmm.
Because it's relaxing.
It's,
Joni (32:29):
relaxing.
we actually watched, the lasttime we were there, we watched
Tangled.
Nick (32:33):
It was Tangled.
Yes.
Ani.

It didn't get rowdy or anything,but you could, you know, people
were
Joni (32:45):
rowdy at Kani.
Nick (32:46):
Yeah.
People were swimming and, youknow, kids were diving in the
water and stuff, which it wasfine, but it's
Joni (32:52):
it's it's a smaller area.
Yeah, I think some of the valueshave more space.
