Kelli (02:02):
And I will say so we use bonfire to produce all of our
merch which is great, it's greatcompany. We love the quality but
it did take forever for these toget here. So if you've got any
interest in purchasing merch toarrive on or before Christmas as

masked up Christmas party. Andthen we highly recommend

Kelli (02:41):
I love this little football jersey.
Chris (02:43):
Yeah, it's great.
Kelli (02:43):
It's one of the reasons we went with bonfire because I
saw this offering. I was like Ineed that shirt. I just need
that shirt.
Chris (02:49):
It's good. I like I like what all turned out. And good
job to you and our little logodesigner for destressing the
logo and it was great.
Love it. Yeah. So we saw somenew cities this week that
downloaded the pod and we are weare super grateful to anybody
(03:09):
that is willing to give us achance and take 30 minutes of
their time each week andlistening to what we got to say
about Disney. This week. I sawLake Stevens, Washington, Ann
Arbor, Michigan, home of theWolverines. Maybe the only
people in the world sadder thangamecock fans this week is this

Monterrey, Mexico between ourborder and Mexico City. So nice.

Kelli (04:06):
Yeah, it doesn't have to be this week. You're right if
you've ever heard your name, soI know people don't always
listen to the pod in the sameweek it comes out so you're a
couple weeks behind and you hearyour town called out then at us.
Yes to get your sticker does nothave to be this week.
Chris (04:18):
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely. Let's run over toMain Street.
Kelli (04:20):
Let's do it.
Chris (04:21):
Lots going on this week.
So the good folks at Disney foodblog. They had a follower
following them. And someone hadsomeone that was in the park
this week. Okay. And John, who'sthe main character on carousel
progress. He's got sings thesong and tells us all about each
timeframe. Okay, in the 20thcentury. In the last one where
(04:42):
he's cooking the turkey, he losthis hand. Completely lost. Yeah,
it was like that.
Kelli (04:54):
Like they saw it fall off?
Chris (04:58):
He had no no Disney food blog's got a great picture of it
on there. Well, there's Larry'slike, there's one time where he
looks like he's like whathappened. So it's pretty good.
It's pretty funny. A little bitmore serious news, Disney had
their earnings call this pastweek for the fourth quarter of
(05:20):
the fiscal year end call thispast week, you know, as expected
a 23% drop in quarterlyrevenues, year over year, it was
it was as bad it's basically redink all over their financial
statements. That said, theystill performed better than a
lot of analysts projectionsbased on what everybody expected
(05:44):
in pandemic. They were buoyed,we just crossed the one year
anniversary for Disney plus,gosh, I can't believe that. I
know, it's it's been a year andthey ended up getting 73 million
viewers or subscribers in thefirst year. And so that that
actually buoyed Disney's stockprice a lot through the
(06:06):
pandemci. Somebody has taken alot of credit for that I'm sure
in the morning they have decidedto grow Park capacity from 25%
to 35%. So that Yeah, so thatthat may help you know their,
their financials, hopefully. Andobviously, they're they're
(06:27):
trying to save tons of money.
There's been lots of loss, lotsof hurt lots of people out of
work. But you know, I'm someonewho loves Disney, I'm trying to
view it as, as the this ispreserving. Yeah, what we're
going to be able to do when lifegets back to something more like
normal, right, so that that'ssort of the way I'm choosing to
look at it. Um, do you know whataffection section is?
Kelli (06:53):
Affection section?
Chris (06:55):
Yeah. There's a lot of people that are listening right
now that are going Oh, yeah,love it.
Kelli (07:00):
No, never heard it.
Chris (07:02):
It's in Rafiki is planet watch area of animal kingdom.
And it just opened back uptoday.
Kelli (07:09):
What is affection section?
Chris (07:10):
It's a petting zoo. With goats.
Kelli (07:13):
I don't know how I feel about that.
Chris (07:15):
I thought you would be like, what?
Kelli (07:18):
Sometimes goats can get very stressed out in petting
zoos.
Chris (07:21):
Well, look if it is nice.
It's goats, cows, donkeys andpigs at this petting zoo. And
you can pet and or brush them.
Kelli (07:32):
Brushing I think I'm good with but sometimes, you know
kids can get a little bitaggressive with the animals.
Chris (07:37):
I feel like I feel like Disney's probably got the
oversight that they need.
Kelli (07:42):
I hope so.
Chris (07:43):
I've been watching a lot of Animal Kingdom. Magic of
Animal Kingdom on Disney pluslately and I think they've got
it under control.
Kelli (07:49):
Yeah, I mean, I'm very against like traveling, petting
zoos.
Chris (07:52):
Oh, yeah.
Kelli (07:53):
But maybe one that's sort of there.
Chris (07:55):
It is a dedicated, very cool looking enclosure at
Rafiki's planet watch. I justcouldn't believe that. I had
never heard of this. I'd neverheard of it.
Kelli (08:03):
We don't really see a lot of the animals when we're at
Animal Kingdom.
Chris (08:06):
There's a lot of areas that we haven't seen.
Kelli (08:07):
Yeah, we ride rides and stuff, but we don't really do a
lot of the animal stuff. Butyeah, okay, so I won't I won't
pass judgment too early.
Chris (08:14):
Please try not too.
Kelli (08:15):
But in general, I will say that I'm not for petting zoo
areas because they can stressanimals out.
Chris (08:21):
Sure. Okay. I'm sure that they're they're giving them all
the best.
Kelli (08:27):
I hope so.
Chris (08:28):
So I'm in entertainment news. The only other thing we've
got is I've got mixed feelingsabout coming to Disney plus, is
a movie called safety. You knowanything about this? It's it's
it centers around ClemsonUniversity's football team. So I
(08:53):
know this story, because growingup here being gamecock fans, we
know a lot about Clemson. And soRay McElrathbey was a safety for
Clemson. A number of years back,okay. And it's based obviously,
based on true story. He his mom,they had lots of family issues,
(09:17):
and his mom had went back intolike a drug rehab situation and
his 11 year old brother wasgoing to have to move into a
foster home.
Kelli (09:26):
I remember this.
Chris (09:27):
Yeah. And so Ray asked if he could take custody of his
brother. They call him Ray Ray.
Ray Ray was 19 at the time, anda student and an athlete at
Clemson. That's gonna make itreally, really hard to care for,
you know, a kid, but the townand the school rallied around
(09:49):
him. He was able to make itwork. And so it's sort of the
story of how that happened. Howthe school rallied around this
kid. How the town rallied aroundhim. And like, like when Ray had
things to do for school orfootball, there was always
somebody that he could trustthat was picking his brother up
(10:10):
and giving his brother a mealand all this kind of stuff.
There was a fight with the NCAA.
on whether or not people couldactually donate money to him,
Because he didn't have a way ofmaking any cash, right? So that
you know, and to maintain theiramateur status, you can't give
(10:33):
athletes gifts as the rule thatisn't available to every other
student in high school. So theyhad this, you know, sort of a
fight with the NCAA as peoplealways do. The NCAA relented and
allowed them to set up a trustfund that was managed out by
someone else that would help payfor the things. The coolest
little tidbit I found about thatClemson played temple in
(10:57):
Charlotte, that year, TempleUniversity. And you know, when
athletes travel, when schoolstravel, they give their players
a little stipend for that trip,right? All of Temple's, players
all donated all of their money,which was $1500 dollars to Ray's
Fund, which is really cool. Andthen the University of Virginia
did the same thing.
Kelli (11:18):
So why do you have mixed feelings about it?
Chris (11:20):
Because it shows them in such a positive light, they're
gonna get such great recruitingout of this.
Kelli (11:26):
People don't know, but you are very passive aggressive.
I mean, on the surface, you'relike, Yay, for schools in South
Carolina. And you're like,they're gonna get such good
recruiting out of this. That'spretty cool that it's on Disney
Plus.
Chris (11:41):
Yeah. And they had bigger plans for it. But you know, it's
pandemic and they can still putit out there. And it really is a
great story. I mean, he didn'tgraduate from Clemson, he got
hurt and they kicked him offscholarship. They did offer him
like a graduate assistantposition. Yeah, he ended up
going to another school. Hegraduated, he lives in LA now
he's got his own kids. It'sgreat. So he's doing well. Okay,
so, so yeah, that's all thenews.
Kelli (12:03):
Okay. Well, I have a trivia question for you. I
thought, this one totally is asoftball. You're gonna know it,
but I thought it might beinteresting to tell the viewers
and listeners why you aregetting trivia questions each
week. Right? You have anunbelievable bank of knowledge
that I typically call uselessknowledge. But in a trivia game
(12:24):
situation, you usually just beatthe pants off of everybody else.
And so the fact that you arecurrently negative 500 is is
really just unheard of. Andmaybe, maybe it says more about
how well I did preparing thesequestions.
Chris (12:40):
I think it speaks to either you are overstating my
useless knowledge my bank ofuse, or your or your your you've
been understating your triviaquestion generation prowess.
Kelli (12:54):
No, you are an amazing trivia player. You truly are.
Tons of people would agree withme on that. And so the fact that
you're negative 500 right now isunheard of.
Chris (13:03):
It makes you proud. I'm sure.
Kelli (13:04):
I just didn't want people to think this is supposed to be
like a beat up on Chris segmentbecause it's not. Chris should
be killing this segment.
Chris (13:13):
I do not know. I don't know.
Kelli (13:17):
Yeah, you're gonna get this one. Are you ready? Okay.
Which Disney Princess attendedElsa's coronation day in
Arrendale?
Chris (13:25):
Oh, it's um, Rapunzel.
Yes, but I don't think theyactually call her Rapunzel. I
think her name is somethingelse...
Kelli (13:31):
Tangled.
Chris (13:33):
It is not Tangled.
Kelli (13:44):
That is the correct yes, Rapunzel.
Chris (13:46):
There's a little clip you can see it they're walking in,
She and Flynn Rider walking intothe castle there.
Kelli (13:52):
With her hair chopped off. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so there
you go. Good job, honey. Nowyou're negative four hundred.
You are making a comeback.
Chris (13:59):
I am on the path back.
Totes making a comeback.
Awesome.
Okay, well then it is on. I'msuper excited about
tomorrowland. And so I'm gonnajump right over. Okay, so I am
hopeful. I am desperate in factfor us to leave this house early
(14:21):
enough. Four weeks from now, sothat this time 28 days from
right now. We will be sitting atJock Lindsey's hanger bar.
Kelli (14:30):
Oh, I'm glad you're doing Jock Lindsey's.
Chris (14:32):
At that time, though, it will be Jock Lindsey's holiday
bar. I'm excited about that. I'msuper excited. We're gonna make
it happen. Because I'm justdesperate to do this now
especially after doing theresearch on it. I teased this
during the night or somethinglast week. And so I decided to
go ahead and do it. And so, thisthis is a this is a bar it said
(14:57):
lounge so Disney treats this asa lounge. Which means that it's
a bar. It's got but it's alsogot some like small plates. So
they've got like, they've gotflatbreads, and they've got a
series of tacos.
Kelli (15:09):
They've got tacos!
Chris (15:11):
Yeah, they've got some good looking tacos. They've got
they've got a margaritaflatbread that I think you'll
love. And they've got a bunch ofappetizers. And so at some point
we could dig into to what theirnormal menu looks like but
tonight I'm gonna primarilyfocus on their their holiday
menu.
Kelli (15:31):
Okay, that's exciting.
Chris (15:32):
Yeah, yeah, holiday because right because as of
November the 27th, it'll be JockLindsey's holiday bar. That's
fine. So yeah, so so it'slocated at Disney Springs in the
area called the landing. SoDisney Springs has got the
marketplace Town Center, thelanding and West Side. The
landing is actually the areathat used to be pleasure Island,
(15:55):
and it frankly is my favoritearea of Disney Springs, Morimoto
Asia, homecoming, the Edison,boathouse, paddlefish.
Kelli (16:06):
Good restaurants and bars.
Chris (16:08):
Gideons, wine bar George is literally across the walkway
from Yep, jock Lindsey's.
Kelli (16:14):
So, a lot of good stuff.
Chris (16:16):
I cannot wait that that night has enormous potential.
Okay. So this bar, they havelots of different like 17
different like signaturecocktails that are all sort of
named after Indiana Jones typestuff, right stuff from the move
from the news.
Kelli (16:35):
So, it is meant to play off of Indiana?
Chris (16:37):
Yes. And it's little things like you you might not
know unless you're really youngIndiana Jones fan, like the cool
headed monkey. Somebody outthere knows what that is. And it
is disgusting in the movie butwould make for a fun drink, I
guess. Okay.
The decor is very much 1930saviator, cool, you know, lots of
(16:58):
airplane spare parts and andkitsch from that explorer type
timeframe. Okay, this is sort ofa second cousin to the original
adventurers club that used to beon pleasure Island is a bike
club there. And, and thiscontinues that theme of the
(17:21):
aviators, the explorers andadventurers club SEA that is
part of...
Kelli (17:28):
Yes, yes.
Chris (17:28):
Jock Lindsey's Hanger Bar, they really apparently play
on this at Disneysea in Tokyo,and the Mystic Manor at
Shanghai.
Kelli (17:39):
And we need to go to Tokyo.
Chris (17:40):
Exactly. You know, but you know, Mystic Manor that we
profiled earlier, a few weeksback, the guy that is the star
of that that ride is a member ofthe Explorer, mentioned that
right so so the backstory hereif you don't know who Jock
Lindsey is, if you've ever seenany Indiana Jones in Raiders of
the Lost Ark, the very beginningof the movie Indy is running
(18:04):
from the habito tribe who aretrying to kill him. He's running
towards the water where there'sa seaplane as a guy fishing he's
the pilot of that seaplane Yep,that's Jock Lindsey.
Kelli (18:16):
Okay, right.
Chris (18:17):
So in in Indy jumps into the water swim so he says,
"start the plane Jock, start theplane." He jumps into the plane,
and they take off and there's asnake in the front of the plane.
Reggie, that's just my pet snakeReggie, he says, and you can
find a there in the skippercanteen. There's a there's kind
of an homage to that. Thebackstory of this is the two
(18:39):
Globetrotters Jock and Indy,stumbled upon Disney Springs in
1938 while chasing down amythology base tip on in Central
Florida. Attracted to the town'snatural springs and lush
terrain, Jock bought somewaterfront property and
eventually settled down pilotingseaplane tours across the fast
growing Sunshine State. Jockeventually built an airplane
hangar air tower and runway andinvited a few members of the
(19:01):
Society of explorers andadventurers to pay him a visit.
His home soon became popularstopover and watering hole for
travelers and locals alike. Andso the hanger bar was born. So,
super excited to go here. We'llput some pictures up. It's
really cool looking. But here'ssome of the things that they've
(19:22):
got to offer as on their menu,so we're gonna start with food
first and then we'll get to themore fun libations Okay. All
right. So the Drummer Boybraised lamb with truffle
mushroom and Manchego cheese,Aaronchini, spices, herbs,
(19:42):
chimichurri chili pepper Coolieand a micro arugula.
Kelli (19:46):
This does not sound like a small plate.
Chris (19:48):
It's a it's like a it is okay. Yeah, it's just very well
presented. Also, it's like alittle. It looks like a little
cake almost with some with somebraised lamb on top. That looks
amazing. looks really reallygood. You are going to for this.

I'm on brand. And I'm keeping usat the landing. We're talking
about The Edison.
Chris (24:49):
Wonderful, good.
Kelli (24:50):
So we ended up with the Edison almost like on a whim one
night at a date night.
Chris (24:54):
We just got a babysitter.
Kelli (24:56):
Yes, we did a date night at Disney. It was fantastic. So
we ended up the Edison becausewe they had reservations
available. There are age anddress code requirements
specifically after 10. But ithas a really fun vibe. Like I
would describe it as steampunky.
Yeah. But somehow it's both funand sophisticated. And as the
night progresses, it turns intoa really cool spot. Now online
(25:17):
is described as an exuberantscene. The Edison is a lavish
industrial, Gothic themedrestaurant and entertainment
venue.
Chris (25:28):
Yes, it is. That's good.
Kelli (25:29):
Yeah, so I'm gonna keep reading. Experience a clever
tribute to an era fueled byinvention and imagination
designed to look like a 1920sElectric Company. The Edison
exudes an air of romance and OldWorld sophistication. Anticipate
expansive 35 foot ceilings and arange of themed areas, including
(25:52):
the Ember parlor, the telegraphlounge, the patent office, the
Tesla lounge, the radio room,the waterfront patio and the
lab. I didn't know that. Butwhen you think back, they're
totally we're like, I canremember the different zones.
And we're like, Man, that thatcorner is crazy. But so yeah,
it's like is it was it two orthree stories?
Chris (26:14):
It was at least, it was definitely two, but it may have
been three.
Kelli (26:17):
Might have been three.
But there's three differentbars. And that you can see to
the bottom floor from the top.
Yes. So like the center is a bigcutout square. So if you're
sitting at the top, you canactually be at a table right
along the rail, where you cansee down to the bottom and you
would see right onto the dancefloor, like people dance in or
the bar or whatever band theygot playing that night or
(26:40):
Amazing, amazing stuff. Now whatI will say is this is not a
place, that's going to be acheap dinner. No, okay, the
Edison is a sophisticated place.
It's a nice dinner in a reallycool venue. Yeah, okay, but it's
a nice dinner. So you need to goand expect a hundred bucks for a
couple, probably minimum ifyou're if you don't have drinks,
yes. But I want to go through, Ican't read the whole menu, but
(27:02):
they do have a pared down menuright now. I want to go through
some of the things that areawesome, specific to the Edison
and then of course, talk aboutwhat we had, of course. Okay, so
we're going to start withappetizers. Okay, so the first
appetizer we're going to coverwould be the clothesline candied
bacon. Yes. Which is your Mapleblack pepper fruit mostarda,
sweet and spicy pickle. Soyou've got the bacon literally,
(27:26):
like thick cut bacon hangingfrom a clothesline. And then
you've got different sauces. Youcan dip it in, right? Would you
like to embellish on that?
Chris (27:38):
It was crazy. I was uh, we had this I saw them. Oh,
actually, we meaning you. Justme. Yeah, just me. I saw it go
by on a platter. Nice. And Iasked the bartender. I said did
he just walked by with aclothesline of bacon? And again?
Yes, he did. And I'll have thatI'll have that was amazing. It
was great.
Kelli (27:58):
They also have the Electri fries, which are handcut
Idaho Russet, Burbank, potatoes,Edison special sauce, bacon,
grated Parmesan, chopped greenonion. They have chips and guac
and also fried calamari? Yes. Sosome really cool appetizers. So
I'm just gonna talk about threedifferent dinner options. There
are more and I'll tell you whatthe more are but I'm going to go
(28:20):
into three in detail. The firstone is the queen cut prime rib.
This is a boneless 14 ounceprime rib with horseradish cream
sauce, popover, choice of bakedpotatoes mashed potatoes or
fries. Now that's $42.
Chris (28:36):
Yeah, it's totally worth it though. And I'm gonna tell
you something, man. A piece ofthat steak with a little bit of
that horseradish on a bit ofthat popover.
Kelli (28:46):
Is this what you got?
Chris (28:47):
It might be because of the popover Sounds familiar? I
didn't think that would be good.
Kelli (28:53):
That would be amazing. I of course got the organic tomato
soup and gooey grilled cheese.
Fontina, munster, gruyere,Alpine, Swiss and buttered
sourdough, $22. It is a $22 soupand grilled cheese. I gotta tell
you, I mean I was stuffed. Yeah,that is a significant amount of
cheese and bread. But it wasphenomenal. They are known for
(29:13):
supposedly the best burger inOrlando.
Chris (29:20):
Really?
Kelli (29:21):
Yes. It's called the Edison. And this is what I
thought you got just becauseyou're such a burger aficionado.
This is a signature beef blendof sirloin short rib and brisket
topped with white cheddar,crispy onion, smoked bacon.
housemade pickles lettuce,tomato special sauce with hand
cut fries. Yeah.
Chris (29:40):
I don't remember getting a Burger there. But if does kind
of sound right in my wheelhouse.
Kelli (29:50):
For the record, they also have a plant based burger. That
is supposedly phenomenal. It's anew beyond meat burger. Yeah.
They also have a short ribplate, a grill Salmon plate and
fish and chips. Nice. And we sawa lot of these things coming out
of the kitchen because we werelike, for some reason right near
where a lot of the food went byand like I said, so the top we
were on the top floor. And sothe waitstaff sort of has to
(30:13):
walk around the square to get tocertain tables. You see it all
you could see things coming byand I remember is just what was
that? What was that? Yeah, itwas that because...
Chris (30:22):
All the plates just look so cool.
Kelli (30:24):
Yeah, I know. And I felt a little weird cuz I was, there
was somebody that got somethingthat looked amazing, right to
our left, I remember and I keptwanting to stare at them.
Chris (30:31):
What are they doing with that food?
Kelli (30:35):
So let's talk about dessert. Okay, so they have the
triple chocolate voltage cake,which looks like about 12
layers. 12 really thin layers.
So...
Chris (30:47):
Yes, I remember seeing this.
Kelli (30:48):
Chocolate hazelnut cream.
Chocolate Crunch chocolate.
Good. Gosh. And raspberry.
You're welcome. I mean, likelittle bitty tiny layers. Yeah.
Oh, that hazelnut cream inbetween each one. I could
literally kill myself with thatcake. The next one is the
(31:09):
lollipop tree. We saw severalpeople get this so it looks like
a tree with cheese cake popssticking out of it. It comes
with bubble gum whipped cream.
We didn't know the whipped creamwas bubblegum.
Chris (31:27):
I did not know that.
Kelli (31:28):
So cheese cake pops with bubble gum, bubble gum whipped
cream.
Chris (31:34):
I know how I feel about the cheesecake pops. I don't
know how I feel about thebubblegum whipped cream.
Kelli (31:37):
I would give it a go.
Chris (31:38):
Sure.
Kelli (31:39):
That's $20, and the cake I'm gonna kill myself with is
only $13.
Chris (31:44):
Well the cake is a deal.
Kelli (31:45):
Hashtag you can do both.
Spumoni bomba. Oh strawberries,pistachio chocolate gelato
coated with chocolate raspberrysauce and whipped cream. That
sounds phenomenal to write. Theyalso have an extensive libation
menu. Yes. So I'm just going tocover a few okay. The first one
is the Tesla. And this isbulleit bourbon. Old camp peach
(32:11):
pecan, whiskey, green chartreuseand simple syrup.
Chris (32:21):
Okay.
Kelli (32:23):
The Edison, Woodford Reserve bourbon, Belle de Bry a
pear brandy, lemon juice andhoney cordial.
Chris (32:33):
Which gives you an idea of what this place is like.
Kelli (32:38):
Right? These are totally crafted libations just like what
you were talking about atJock's, so I mean, you could
literally order like The Edisonas dinner and cocktail.
Chris (32:49):
I think I will.
Kelli (32:51):
Strawberry Fields Forever. This is hangar one
vodka, St Germain liquid orhoney, lime juice, strawberries,
mint and lemonade. Yeah, so myfavorite name, as included this
one just because I had anamazing name. Bad
miscalculation. Kettle onebotanicals, St. Germain liquor
(33:12):
and soda water. So fun, funthing, right. So you can have
kids there before 10pm after10pm there is an age limit. But
they also have like old timeysodas. I didn't realize this,
you can get like a real CherryCoke.
Chris (33:26):
Oh, that's cool.
Kelli (33:27):
Isn't that cool? Yeah, they also have like a berry
crush.
Chris (33:31):
Same situation where it's like a real homemade soda?
Kelli (33:34):
Yes, handmade soda. And they had some really cool
looking mocktails. Nice. Some. Imean, like really cool ones.
Yeah. And so the Edison is whatI would describe as a place
where you could go, let's saylike, for dinner and about 7:30
ish. And you finish your dinnersomewhere around 8:30 ish or
(33:58):
nine with plenty of time fordessert course. And then you
just move downstairs to wherethe live entertainment is. And
you hang out there all night.
Chris (34:06):
Absolutely. That is absolutely right. If you want to
go catch a break on the balconyover look over the water. You
can do that head back inside.
They've got the dancing downthere. The people dancing. You
almost feel like they're they'vethey've seeded the crowd with
professiona dancers. Yes.
Because they are really dancingand...
Kelli (34:24):
They were wearing the clothes. They were like they
came decked out for 1920s Yes,dancing. Yeah. And I thought I
wonder if it's some kind of aclub or you know, whatever. But
it was awesome.
Chris (34:37):
Yeah, we'd stood on the rail that long time. It is such
a fun place.
Kelli (34:41):
Yes. No, absolutely loved the Edison. And I would love to
go back. That's the problem withDisney Springs.
Chris (34:47):
So many good places.
Kelli (34:49):
So many amazing places. I mean, we want to do wine bar
George, jock Lindsey's,homecoming as many times as
possible. Yeah. The Edison. Iknow.
Chris (34:59):
It's almost It's the it's easily the best little
neighborhood at Disney Springs.
Kelli (35:05):

Chris (01:59):
Modeling the merch.
Kelli (02:02):
And I will say so we use bonfire to produce all of our
merch which is great, it's greatcompany. We love the quality but
it did take forever for these toget here. So if you've got any
interest in purchasing merch toarrive on or before Christmas as

(02:22):
masked up Christmas party. Andthen we highly recommend

since we got them. They're supercomfortable. Love them.
Kelli (02:41):
I love this little football jersey.
Chris (02:43):
Yeah, it's great.
Kelli (02:43):
It's one of the reasons we went with bonfire because I
saw this offering. I was like Ineed that shirt. I just need
that shirt.
Chris (02:49):
It's good. I like I like what all turned out. And good
job to you and our little logodesigner for destressing the
logo and it was great.
Love it. Yeah. So we saw somenew cities this week that
downloaded the pod and we are weare super grateful to anybody
(03:09):
that is willing to give us achance and take 30 minutes of
their time each week andlistening to what we got to say
about Disney. This week. I sawLake Stevens, Washington, Ann
Arbor, Michigan, home of theWolverines. Maybe the only
people in the world sadder thangamecock fans this week is this

Mexico. That one's fun. Yes,yes. It is right outside of
Monterrey, Mexico between ourborder and Mexico City. So nice.

Kelli (04:06):
Yeah, it doesn't have to be this week. You're right if
you've ever heard your name, soI know people don't always
listen to the pod in the sameweek it comes out so you're a
couple weeks behind and you hearyour town called out then at us.
Yes to get your sticker does nothave to be this week.
Chris (04:18):
Yeah, absolutely.
Absolutely. Let's run over toMain Street.
Kelli (04:20):
Let's do it.
Chris (04:21):
Lots going on this week.
So the good folks at Disney foodblog. They had a follower
following them. And someone hadsomeone that was in the park
this week. Okay. And John, who'sthe main character on carousel
progress. He's got sings thesong and tells us all about each
timeframe. Okay, in the 20thcentury. In the last one where
(04:42):
he's cooking the turkey, he losthis hand. Completely lost. Yeah,
it was like that.
Kelli (04:54):
Like they saw it fall off?
Chris (04:58):
He had no no Disney food blog's got a great picture of it
on there. Well, there's Larry'slike, there's one time where he
looks like he's like whathappened. So it's pretty good.
It's pretty funny. A little bitmore serious news, Disney had
their earnings call this pastweek for the fourth quarter of
(05:20):
the fiscal year end call thispast week, you know, as expected
a 23% drop in quarterlyrevenues, year over year, it was
it was as bad it's basically redink all over their financial
statements. That said, theystill performed better than a
lot of analysts projectionsbased on what everybody expected
(05:44):
in pandemic. They were buoyed,we just crossed the one year
anniversary for Disney plus,gosh, I can't believe that. I
know, it's it's been a year andthey ended up getting 73 million
viewers or subscribers in thefirst year. And so that that
actually buoyed Disney's stockprice a lot through the
(06:06):
pandemci. Somebody has taken alot of credit for that I'm sure
in the morning they have decidedto grow Park capacity from 25%
to 35%. So that Yeah, so thatthat may help you know their,
their financials, hopefully. Andobviously, they're they're
(06:27):
trying to save tons of money.
There's been lots of loss, lotsof hurt lots of people out of
work. But you know, I'm someonewho loves Disney, I'm trying to
view it as, as the this ispreserving. Yeah, what we're
going to be able to do when lifegets back to something more like
normal, right, so that that'ssort of the way I'm choosing to
look at it. Um, do you know whataffection section is?
Kelli (06:53):
Affection section?
Chris (06:55):
Yeah. There's a lot of people that are listening right
now that are going Oh, yeah,love it.
Kelli (07:00):
No, never heard it.
Chris (07:02):
It's in Rafiki is planet watch area of animal kingdom.
And it just opened back uptoday.
Kelli (07:09):
What is affection section?
Chris (07:10):
It's a petting zoo. With goats.
Kelli (07:13):
I don't know how I feel about that.
Chris (07:15):
I thought you would be like, what?
Kelli (07:18):
Sometimes goats can get very stressed out in petting
zoos.
Chris (07:21):
Well, look if it is nice.
It's goats, cows, donkeys andpigs at this petting zoo. And
you can pet and or brush them.
Kelli (07:32):
Brushing I think I'm good with but sometimes, you know
kids can get a little bitaggressive with the animals.
Chris (07:37):
I feel like I feel like Disney's probably got the
oversight that they need.
Kelli (07:42):
I hope so.
Chris (07:43):
I've been watching a lot of Animal Kingdom. Magic of
Animal Kingdom on Disney pluslately and I think they've got
it under control.
Kelli (07:49):
Yeah, I mean, I'm very against like traveling, petting
zoos.
Chris (07:52):
Oh, yeah.
Kelli (07:53):
But maybe one that's sort of there.
Chris (07:55):
It is a dedicated, very cool looking enclosure at
Rafiki's planet watch. I justcouldn't believe that. I had
never heard of this. I'd neverheard of it.
Kelli (08:03):
We don't really see a lot of the animals when we're at
Animal Kingdom.
Chris (08:06):
There's a lot of areas that we haven't seen.
Kelli (08:07):
Yeah, we ride rides and stuff, but we don't really do a
lot of the animal stuff. Butyeah, okay, so I won't I won't
pass judgment too early.
Chris (08:14):
Please try not too.
Kelli (08:15):
But in general, I will say that I'm not for petting zoo
areas because they can stressanimals out.
Chris (08:21):
Sure. Okay. I'm sure that they're they're giving them all
the best.
Kelli (08:27):
I hope so.
Chris (08:28):
So I'm in entertainment news. The only other thing we've
got is I've got mixed feelingsabout coming to Disney plus, is
a movie called safety. You knowanything about this? It's it's
it centers around ClemsonUniversity's football team. So I
(08:53):
know this story, because growingup here being gamecock fans, we
know a lot about Clemson. And soRay McElrathbey was a safety for
Clemson. A number of years back,okay. And it's based obviously,
based on true story. He his mom,they had lots of family issues,
(09:17):
and his mom had went back intolike a drug rehab situation and
his 11 year old brother wasgoing to have to move into a
foster home.
Kelli (09:26):
I remember this.
Chris (09:27):
Yeah. And so Ray asked if he could take custody of his
brother. They call him Ray Ray.
Ray Ray was 19 at the time, anda student and an athlete at
Clemson. That's gonna make itreally, really hard to care for,
you know, a kid, but the townand the school rallied around
(09:49):
him. He was able to make itwork. And so it's sort of the
story of how that happened. Howthe school rallied around this
kid. How the town rallied aroundhim. And like, like when Ray had
things to do for school orfootball, there was always
somebody that he could trustthat was picking his brother up
(10:10):
and giving his brother a mealand all this kind of stuff.
There was a fight with the NCAA.
on whether or not people couldactually donate money to him,
Because he didn't have a way ofmaking any cash, right? So that
you know, and to maintain theiramateur status, you can't give
(10:33):
athletes gifts as the rule thatisn't available to every other
student in high school. So theyhad this, you know, sort of a
fight with the NCAA as peoplealways do. The NCAA relented and
allowed them to set up a trustfund that was managed out by
someone else that would help payfor the things. The coolest
little tidbit I found about thatClemson played temple in
(10:57):
Charlotte, that year, TempleUniversity. And you know, when
athletes travel, when schoolstravel, they give their players
a little stipend for that trip,right? All of Temple's, players
all donated all of their money,which was $1500 dollars to Ray's
Fund, which is really cool. Andthen the University of Virginia
did the same thing.
Kelli (11:18):
So why do you have mixed feelings about it?
Chris (11:20):
Because it shows them in such a positive light, they're
gonna get such great recruitingout of this.
Kelli (11:26):
People don't know, but you are very passive aggressive.
I mean, on the surface, you'relike, Yay, for schools in South
Carolina. And you're like,they're gonna get such good
recruiting out of this. That'spretty cool that it's on Disney
Plus.
Chris (11:41):
Yeah. And they had bigger plans for it. But you know, it's
pandemic and they can still putit out there. And it really is a
great story. I mean, he didn'tgraduate from Clemson, he got
hurt and they kicked him offscholarship. They did offer him
like a graduate assistantposition. Yeah, he ended up
going to another school. Hegraduated, he lives in LA now
he's got his own kids. It'sgreat. So he's doing well. Okay,
so, so yeah, that's all thenews.
Kelli (12:03):
Okay. Well, I have a trivia question for you. I
thought, this one totally is asoftball. You're gonna know it,
but I thought it might beinteresting to tell the viewers
and listeners why you aregetting trivia questions each
week. Right? You have anunbelievable bank of knowledge
that I typically call uselessknowledge. But in a trivia game
(12:24):
situation, you usually just beatthe pants off of everybody else.
And so the fact that you arecurrently negative 500 is is
really just unheard of. Andmaybe, maybe it says more about
how well I did preparing thesequestions.
Chris (12:40):
I think it speaks to either you are overstating my
useless knowledge my bank ofuse, or your or your your you've
been understating your triviaquestion generation prowess.
Kelli (12:54):
No, you are an amazing trivia player. You truly are.
Tons of people would agree withme on that. And so the fact that
you're negative 500 right now isunheard of.
Chris (13:03):
It makes you proud. I'm sure.
Kelli (13:04):
I just didn't want people to think this is supposed to be
like a beat up on Chris segmentbecause it's not. Chris should
be killing this segment.
Chris (13:13):
I do not know. I don't know.
Kelli (13:17):
Yeah, you're gonna get this one. Are you ready? Okay.
Which Disney Princess attendedElsa's coronation day in
Arrendale?
Chris (13:25):
Oh, it's um, Rapunzel.
Yes, but I don't think theyactually call her Rapunzel. I
think her name is somethingelse...
Kelli (13:31):
Tangled.
Chris (13:33):
It is not Tangled.
Kelli (13:44):
That is the correct yes, Rapunzel.
Chris (13:46):
There's a little clip you can see it they're walking in,
She and Flynn Rider walking intothe castle there.
Kelli (13:52):
With her hair chopped off. Yeah, yeah. Okay, so there
you go. Good job, honey. Nowyou're negative four hundred.
You are making a comeback.
Chris (13:59):
I am on the path back.
Totes making a comeback.
Awesome.
Okay, well then it is on. I'msuper excited about
tomorrowland. And so I'm gonnajump right over. Okay, so I am
hopeful. I am desperate in factfor us to leave this house early
(14:21):
enough. Four weeks from now, sothat this time 28 days from
right now. We will be sitting atJock Lindsey's hanger bar.
Kelli (14:30):
Oh, I'm glad you're doing Jock Lindsey's.
Chris (14:32):
At that time, though, it will be Jock Lindsey's holiday
bar. I'm excited about that. I'msuper excited. We're gonna make
it happen. Because I'm justdesperate to do this now
especially after doing theresearch on it. I teased this
during the night or somethinglast week. And so I decided to
go ahead and do it. And so, thisthis is a this is a bar it said
(14:57):
lounge so Disney treats this asa lounge. Which means that it's
a bar. It's got but it's alsogot some like small plates. So
they've got like, they've gotflatbreads, and they've got a
series of tacos.
Kelli (15:09):
They've got tacos!
Chris (15:11):
Yeah, they've got some good looking tacos. They've got
they've got a margaritaflatbread that I think you'll
love. And they've got a bunch ofappetizers. And so at some point
we could dig into to what theirnormal menu looks like but
tonight I'm gonna primarilyfocus on their their holiday
menu.
Kelli (15:31):
Okay, that's exciting.
Chris (15:32):
Yeah, yeah, holiday because right because as of
November the 27th, it'll be JockLindsey's holiday bar. That's
fine. So yeah, so so it'slocated at Disney Springs in the
area called the landing. SoDisney Springs has got the
marketplace Town Center, thelanding and West Side. The
landing is actually the areathat used to be pleasure Island,
(15:55):
and it frankly is my favoritearea of Disney Springs, Morimoto
Asia, homecoming, the Edison,boathouse, paddlefish.
Kelli (16:06):
Good restaurants and bars.
Chris (16:08):
Gideons, wine bar George is literally across the walkway
from Yep, jock Lindsey's.
Kelli (16:14):
So, a lot of good stuff.
Chris (16:16):
I cannot wait that that night has enormous potential.
Okay. So this bar, they havelots of different like 17
different like signaturecocktails that are all sort of
named after Indiana Jones typestuff, right stuff from the move
from the news.
Kelli (16:35):
So, it is meant to play off of Indiana?
Chris (16:37):
Yes. And it's little things like you you might not
know unless you're really youngIndiana Jones fan, like the cool
headed monkey. Somebody outthere knows what that is. And it
is disgusting in the movie butwould make for a fun drink, I
guess. Okay.
The decor is very much 1930saviator, cool, you know, lots of
(16:58):
airplane spare parts and andkitsch from that explorer type
timeframe. Okay, this is sort ofa second cousin to the original
adventurers club that used to beon pleasure Island is a bike
club there. And, and thiscontinues that theme of the
(17:21):
aviators, the explorers andadventurers club SEA that is
part of...
Kelli (17:28):
Yes, yes.
Chris (17:28):
Jock Lindsey's Hanger Bar, they really apparently play
on this at Disneysea in Tokyo,and the Mystic Manor at
Shanghai.
Kelli (17:39):
And we need to go to Tokyo.
Chris (17:40):
Exactly. You know, but you know, Mystic Manor that we
profiled earlier, a few weeksback, the guy that is the star
of that that ride is a member ofthe Explorer, mentioned that
right so so the backstory hereif you don't know who Jock
Lindsey is, if you've ever seenany Indiana Jones in Raiders of
the Lost Ark, the very beginningof the movie Indy is running
(18:04):
from the habito tribe who aretrying to kill him. He's running
towards the water where there'sa seaplane as a guy fishing he's
the pilot of that seaplane Yep,that's Jock Lindsey.
Kelli (18:16):
Okay, right.
Chris (18:17):
So in in Indy jumps into the water swim so he says,
"start the plane Jock, start theplane." He jumps into the plane,
and they take off and there's asnake in the front of the plane.
Reggie, that's just my pet snakeReggie, he says, and you can
find a there in the skippercanteen. There's a there's kind
of an homage to that. Thebackstory of this is the two
(18:39):
Globetrotters Jock and Indy,stumbled upon Disney Springs in
1938 while chasing down amythology base tip on in Central
Florida. Attracted to the town'snatural springs and lush
terrain, Jock bought somewaterfront property and
eventually settled down pilotingseaplane tours across the fast
growing Sunshine State. Jockeventually built an airplane
hangar air tower and runway andinvited a few members of the
(19:01):
Society of explorers andadventurers to pay him a visit.
His home soon became popularstopover and watering hole for
travelers and locals alike. Andso the hanger bar was born. So,
super excited to go here. We'llput some pictures up. It's
really cool looking. But here'ssome of the things that they've
(19:22):
got to offer as on their menu,so we're gonna start with food
first and then we'll get to themore fun libations Okay. All
right. So the Drummer Boybraised lamb with truffle
mushroom and Manchego cheese,Aaronchini, spices, herbs,
(19:42):

Kelli (19:46):
This does not sound like a small plate.
Chris (19:48):
It's a it's like a it is okay. Yeah, it's just very well
presented. Also, it's like alittle. It looks like a little

caviar and a piece of shrimp.
Kelli (21:42):
I am against it. But it's very sophisticated.
Chris (21:45):
This thing here looks amazing. Also the presentation
on this one's really cool PapaNoel's Churrasco. Grilled Flank
steak with fried sweet plantainsand spicy aji amarillo peanut
sauce.
Kelli (21:59):
That does not sound like a small plate.
Chris (22:02):
This is like a wooden carving block and the food is
like laid out sort of across thecarving block. It's gorgeous.
It's beautiful. This one's cute.
The Ugly sweeter bread is theugly sweater bread. Oh sweeter
bread. This is a cinnamonschmear, brioche and eggnog
icing adorned with sugar lightdecorations. Jingle Bell pops.

They're not messing around at jocks. Santa's hat
mohito, Bacardi, grenadine, mintleaves, simple syrup, lemon-lime
foam, and a candy cane garnish.
So it's like foam around thetop. Garnish with a sugar cane.
And they don't play I got amistletoe mule, a berry merry
Margarita. And I gotta say thething that I've got to do while
(24:09):
I'm there is The Aviator flight.
This is not necessarily aChristmas thing. But it's a
flight of 12 year old singlemalt scotches.
That's one, and then Wine barGeorge is right across the
(24:30):
walkway is that night is loadedwith possibilities. Yep. Okay,
yeah.
Kelli (24:36):
Well, let's take us to world showcase. Yes, we go. Cuz
I'm on brand. And I'm keeping usat the landing. We're talking
about The Edison.
Chris (24:49):
Wonderful, good.
Kelli (24:50):
So we ended up with the Edison almost like on a whim one
night at a date night.
Chris (24:54):
We just got a babysitter.
Kelli (24:56):
Yes, we did a date night at Disney. It was fantastic. So
we ended up the Edison becausewe they had reservations
available. There are age anddress code requirements
specifically after 10. But ithas a really fun vibe. Like I
would describe it as steampunky.
Yeah. But somehow it's both funand sophisticated. And as the
night progresses, it turns intoa really cool spot. Now online
(25:17):
is described as an exuberantscene. The Edison is a lavish
industrial, Gothic themedrestaurant and entertainment
venue.
Chris (25:28):
Yes, it is. That's good.
Kelli (25:29):
Yeah, so I'm gonna keep reading. Experience a clever
tribute to an era fueled byinvention and imagination
designed to look like a 1920sElectric Company. The Edison
exudes an air of romance and OldWorld sophistication. Anticipate
expansive 35 foot ceilings and arange of themed areas, including
(25:52):
the Ember parlor, the telegraphlounge, the patent office, the
Tesla lounge, the radio room,the waterfront patio and the
lab. I didn't know that. Butwhen you think back, they're
totally we're like, I canremember the different zones.
And we're like, Man, that thatcorner is crazy. But so yeah,
it's like is it was it two orthree stories?
Chris (26:14):
It was at least, it was definitely two, but it may have
been three.
Kelli (26:17):
Might have been three.
But there's three differentbars. And that you can see to
the bottom floor from the top.
Yes. So like the center is a bigcutout square. So if you're
sitting at the top, you canactually be at a table right
along the rail, where you cansee down to the bottom and you
would see right onto the dancefloor, like people dance in or
the bar or whatever band theygot playing that night or
(26:40):
Amazing, amazing stuff. Now whatI will say is this is not a
place, that's going to be acheap dinner. No, okay, the
Edison is a sophisticated place.
It's a nice dinner in a reallycool venue. Yeah, okay, but it's
a nice dinner. So you need to goand expect a hundred bucks for a
couple, probably minimum ifyou're if you don't have drinks,
yes. But I want to go through, Ican't read the whole menu, but
(27:02):
they do have a pared down menuright now. I want to go through
some of the things that areawesome, specific to the Edison
and then of course, talk aboutwhat we had, of course. Okay, so
we're going to start withappetizers. Okay, so the first
appetizer we're going to coverwould be the clothesline candied
bacon. Yes. Which is your Mapleblack pepper fruit mostarda,
sweet and spicy pickle. Soyou've got the bacon literally,
(27:26):
like thick cut bacon hangingfrom a clothesline. And then
you've got different sauces. Youcan dip it in, right? Would you
like to embellish on that?
Chris (27:38):
It was crazy. I was uh, we had this I saw them. Oh,
actually, we meaning you. Justme. Yeah, just me. I saw it go
by on a platter. Nice. And Iasked the bartender. I said did
he just walked by with aclothesline of bacon? And again?
Yes, he did. And I'll have thatI'll have that was amazing. It
was great.
Kelli (27:58):
They also have the Electri fries, which are handcut
Idaho Russet, Burbank, potatoes,Edison special sauce, bacon,
grated Parmesan, chopped greenonion. They have chips and guac
and also fried calamari? Yes. Sosome really cool appetizers. So
I'm just gonna talk about threedifferent dinner options. There
are more and I'll tell you whatthe more are but I'm going to go
(28:20):
into three in detail. The firstone is the queen cut prime rib.
This is a boneless 14 ounceprime rib with horseradish cream
sauce, popover, choice of bakedpotatoes mashed potatoes or
fries. Now that's $42.
Chris (28:36):
Yeah, it's totally worth it though. And I'm gonna tell
you something, man. A piece ofthat steak with a little bit of
that horseradish on a bit ofthat popover.
Kelli (28:46):
Is this what you got?
Chris (28:47):
It might be because of the popover Sounds familiar? I
didn't think that would be good.
Kelli (28:53):
That would be amazing. I of course got the organic tomato
soup and gooey grilled cheese.
Fontina, munster, gruyere,Alpine, Swiss and buttered
sourdough, $22. It is a $22 soupand grilled cheese. I gotta tell
you, I mean I was stuffed. Yeah,that is a significant amount of
cheese and bread. But it wasphenomenal. They are known for
(29:13):
supposedly the best burger inOrlando.
Chris (29:20):
Really?
Kelli (29:21):
Yes. It's called the Edison. And this is what I
thought you got just becauseyou're such a burger aficionado.
This is a signature beef blendof sirloin short rib and brisket
topped with white cheddar,crispy onion, smoked bacon.
housemade pickles lettuce,tomato special sauce with hand
cut fries. Yeah.
Chris (29:40):
I don't remember getting a Burger there. But if does kind
of sound right in my wheelhouse.
Kelli (29:50):
For the record, they also have a plant based burger. That
is supposedly phenomenal. It's anew beyond meat burger. Yeah.
They also have a short ribplate, a grill Salmon plate and
fish and chips. Nice. And we sawa lot of these things coming out
of the kitchen because we werelike, for some reason right near
where a lot of the food went byand like I said, so the top we
were on the top floor. And sothe waitstaff sort of has to
(30:13):
walk around the square to get tocertain tables. You see it all
you could see things coming byand I remember is just what was
that? What was that? Yeah, itwas that because...
Chris (30:22):
All the plates just look so cool.
Kelli (30:24):
Yeah, I know. And I felt a little weird cuz I was, there
was somebody that got somethingthat looked amazing, right to
our left, I remember and I keptwanting to stare at them.
Chris (30:31):
What are they doing with that food?
Kelli (30:35):
So let's talk about dessert. Okay, so they have the
triple chocolate voltage cake,which looks like about 12
layers. 12 really thin layers.
So...
Chris (30:47):
Yes, I remember seeing this.
Kelli (30:48):
Chocolate hazelnut cream.
Chocolate Crunch chocolate.
Good. Gosh. And raspberry.
You're welcome. I mean, likelittle bitty tiny layers. Yeah.
Oh, that hazelnut cream inbetween each one. I could
literally kill myself with thatcake. The next one is the
(31:09):
lollipop tree. We saw severalpeople get this so it looks like
a tree with cheese cake popssticking out of it. It comes
with bubble gum whipped cream.
We didn't know the whipped creamwas bubblegum.
Chris (31:27):
I did not know that.
Kelli (31:28):
So cheese cake pops with bubble gum, bubble gum whipped
cream.
Chris (31:34):
I know how I feel about the cheesecake pops. I don't
know how I feel about thebubblegum whipped cream.
Kelli (31:37):
I would give it a go.
Chris (31:38):
Sure.
Kelli (31:39):
That's $20, and the cake I'm gonna kill myself with is
only $13.
Chris (31:44):
Well the cake is a deal.
Kelli (31:45):
Hashtag you can do both.
Spumoni bomba. Oh strawberries,pistachio chocolate gelato
coated with chocolate raspberrysauce and whipped cream. That
sounds phenomenal to write. Theyalso have an extensive libation
menu. Yes. So I'm just going tocover a few okay. The first one
is the Tesla. And this isbulleit bourbon. Old camp peach
(32:11):
pecan, whiskey, green chartreuseand simple syrup.
Chris (32:21):
Okay.
Kelli (32:23):
The Edison, Woodford Reserve bourbon, Belle de Bry a
pear brandy, lemon juice andhoney cordial.
Chris (32:33):
Which gives you an idea of what this place is like.
Kelli (32:38):
Right? These are totally crafted libations just like what
you were talking about atJock's, so I mean, you could
literally order like The Edisonas dinner and cocktail.
Chris (32:49):
I think I will.
Kelli (32:51):
Strawberry Fields Forever. This is hangar one
vodka, St Germain liquid orhoney, lime juice, strawberries,
mint and lemonade. Yeah, so myfavorite name, as included this
one just because I had anamazing name. Bad
miscalculation. Kettle onebotanicals, St. Germain liquor
(33:12):
and soda water. So fun, funthing, right. So you can have
kids there before 10pm after10pm there is an age limit. But
they also have like old timeysodas. I didn't realize this,
you can get like a real CherryCoke.
Chris (33:26):
Oh, that's cool.
Kelli (33:27):
Isn't that cool? Yeah, they also have like a berry
crush.
Chris (33:31):
Same situation where it's like a real homemade soda?
Kelli (33:34):
Yes, handmade soda. And they had some really cool
looking mocktails. Nice. Some. Imean, like really cool ones.
Yeah. And so the Edison is whatI would describe as a place
where you could go, let's saylike, for dinner and about 7:30
ish. And you finish your dinnersomewhere around 8:30 ish or
(33:58):
nine with plenty of time fordessert course. And then you
just move downstairs to wherethe live entertainment is. And
you hang out there all night.
Chris (34:06):
Absolutely. That is absolutely right. If you want to
go catch a break on the balconyover look over the water. You
can do that head back inside.
They've got the dancing downthere. The people dancing. You
almost feel like they're they'vethey've seeded the crowd with
professiona dancers. Yes.
Because they are really dancingand...
Kelli (34:24):
They were wearing the clothes. They were like they
came decked out for 1920s Yes,dancing. Yeah. And I thought I
wonder if it's some kind of aclub or you know, whatever. But
it was awesome.
Chris (34:37):
Yeah, we'd stood on the rail that long time. It is such
a fun place.
Kelli (34:41):
Yes. No, absolutely loved the Edison. And I would love to
go back. That's the problem withDisney Springs.
Chris (34:47):
So many good places.

George, jock Lindsey's,homecoming as many times as
possible. Yeah. The Edison. Iknow.
