Episode Transcript

(00:06):
Friends across the world, the Great British Mickey Waffle is
live from Epcot. Except me.
Who knows what the next hour will bring, but be assured we'll
be soaring by the seat of our pants and to my technological
limit. If you missed out on Claire and
Robin socials of their Monday night shenanigans at Jollywood
Nights, we can only hope to continue that tonight.

(00:28):
And then I am joined, I've got Josh right beside me.
So we have got everybody on board as I desperately seek to
look for the intro to the show, which will now be.

(01:10):
Here we go. So we have got a full house.
We have got Robin and and Claire.
Hopefully we've managed to sort of work through some of the
technological issues we had prior to the show starting.
But hey, no, yeah. Turns out we can't.
We've all worked together apparently.

(01:32):
I tell you what, you look, you looked absolutely superb on
Monday, both of you. You did US proud in the I've got
to say the photos that you had were absolutely superb from
Hollywood studios. So you.
Had a great time. I am looking forward to this
just really just as we get a little bit of a this is, this is

(01:53):
what's going to, this is what's going to happen, isn't it all
the way through. We're going to lose, we're going
to lose people's Wi-Fi. Yeah, the the WI.
Fi hey. I am not on the WI.
Fi, that's what you're here. That'll be it.
Well, I'm still. Here, there you go, clothes
back, there we go. And The thing is though, every

(02:14):
time the Wi-Fi drops out, everyone moves around.
It's, it's like, it's like a Christmas party game while
we're, while we're doing that. Here's for chairs.
Yeah. Take a shot every time we move
or we lose someone. Oh, there's a there's a thought,
Yeah, but that's a that's a proper Epcot game to be playing.
Claire, can you hear us all right or just check out on that

(02:36):
just while you are you taking the?
I can. Hear you.
Yeah. I've come outside out the way of
Robin. We weren't.
And I, I am in the DVC now. So.
Oh, you showed off. I thought I'd give you a little
taster of of life, but I'm usingClaire's gimbal, of which I

(03:00):
don't really know what I'm doing.
Let's be honest. Oh, look, there's a wall.
There we go. Oh, that's.
Brilliant. That's such.
A Yeah, no clue. That's such a lovely place to be
in Epcot, though, and that just is again, one of those little
places that you're a kid hard BBC.
It's a really cracking place to be.
But I'm loving that photo. I mean just like.

(03:23):
I'm fighting this. Another guy going to come past
it. Some boy.
That's that's a good caller. Now the problem is if I actually
click on this, let's see if the screen layout changes for the
best. So no, that didn't work, did it?
That wasn't good. There we go.

(03:44):
Let's stick with that. We'll wait for the monorail.
I think that might be that. Maybe that might be a better
idea. Was the B squad are on tonight,
aren't they? All right, that's how it works
too. It's fine.
John's got. John's got tech support.
He does. It still has news.
On his side. It doesn't help at all.

(04:06):
Yeah, it's. Yeah, I think we'll leave it
like that. We've got, we've got, we've got
tech support. It's OK.
There you go. Look at that, I hope they're
saying. Nice things.

(04:28):
Oh. Dear Brilliant.
This is when Zach used to get the screen up on his phone.
That would be even better, have more screen open then we don't
know what. That's brilliant.
So probably a pertinent time while they start.
Nah, exactly. That's see, that's supplying the
drink, isn't he? See what he's doing there.

(04:49):
Oh. Zach's supplying the drinks.
I'm going. I'm going back to Claire.
Yeah, I think, yeah, I think, yeah.
The drinks on the go there, Robin.
Yeah. I just welcome Morgan Josh into
the show. Our junior wafflers who
actually, they're here really just in case the white Disney
Wi-Fi gave all DLP like you know, but the two of them are

(05:12):
planning another junior waffle show for Wednesday.
And actually just while we're waiting on the monorail with
Claire and Zach and Robin's dashing round to go get them.
Can I, to anyone who's actually listened to the podcast that was
out the first one, just can I just say a massive apology on

(05:34):
behalf of it all? Because actually, if you if you
actually go and check out yours and I would actually, I would
actually know that everybody goes and checks and clicks on
the podcast. Listen to it all the way,
because actually there's a couple of different versions of
it available, and one of. Which is a bit of.
One of which is a bit of an after hours moment where it was

(05:58):
unedited and it was uploaded so we don't apologize.
And that actually please remind me that I need to check YouTube
is the right one as well. But yeah, I wholeheartedly take
responsibility for the swearing that was was actually in the
start of the show because it was, it was my, it was my
passion. I'm pretty sure I said some rude

(06:18):
words too. Yeah, let me call it.
I'm pretty sure I said some rudewords.
My poor innocent ears earlier, yes.
Innocent, Yeah. Apologies anyone who heard the
unable to vote, but Ricky was. Well, actually, actually in the

(06:39):
in the six years of 6 1/2 years of doing this, I don't, I don't
think we've actually, we've not actually made that error before.
So again, I think we were, we were due on that's, that's
exactly it. So what I'm going to do?
I'm aware that Robin and Claire's phones are.

(07:01):
So that we don't miss out on thecycle bet.
No, actually, in the meantime, if I keep actually, by the way,
I'm actually getting the camera to see it's gone quiet.
I don't like it when it goes quiet.
Are you still there, MOG? I'm here.
I mean, I hope so. Yeah.

(07:21):
I am here. This is very loud.
It's just very loud. So I muted myself.
I think the encounter shows bounter stuff.
Yes, the encounter show is goingon.
So it's the encounter show. So I have to say I was on the
hunch to someone who just didn'tgo.
And a little bit more probably for this time of year.

(07:44):
However, he's not here. I was on.
I was on the hunt for Santa, buthe's not here.
What time is he out? Oh, looks like we just.
Left him, but it would be fast. At small, so maybe I'm swing
back around shortly. But you know what I'm really

(08:05):
fancying? I'm fancying some food.
Slayer's very patient. I have no patience, so I've
already walked away from there. I'm I'm going to give no
comments on Monday. Maybe it's not running, it's
been a while. Like Jim, it is the pop.
On around yeah I'm going to go find some food but I'm going to

(08:27):
mute myself because it's very loud over here it.
Is there, There you go. Robin goes on mute.
Claire's going for a walk because she's she's now a very
quiet. There we go.
There we go. There we go, Mark.
I was just being quiet. There you go, I thought.
You'd rather see me? Definitely, if I had the
technical nouns and actual know how I used to be able to do this

(08:51):
and actually put just change thescreen so that was more than one
person in it, but they've changed the layout and the
buttons. I don't want to lose people
because I'm tempted to actually.Yeah, it's just try.
Try the one you're on before. Which one?
Go on? I'm going to pick one.
That one. No, no.

(09:12):
Yeah, try that one. I'll just put one person on.
For, go with that 1 then. I think that one.
Right and then click on if you click on Claire Oh.
No. No.
No. So it don't work.
Good grief. Technology.
Yeah, who needs it? I'm going to.
I'm just going to stick with that.

(09:32):
Actually IT. Goes like this week's on theme.
Yeah, I think that's exactly it morgue.
And and again, thank you for your messages earlier on and
highlight highlighting some of the moments that actually
happened. I'm just going to have a quick,
quick check through because actually Zac Brown was in the
chat so it was Colton. So thank you Heather's joins us

(09:55):
as well. And like I say, it became rather
one of those one of those moments that when you really
just wanted the earth to beat you up because you really don't
want you don't want to be put inshows like that outside again.
I'm not going to linger on it. We've apologized.

(10:16):
We'll move on, just like Claire and Robin are both moving on at
a pace. And I shall make no comments
about the person who's in front of Claire because actually I do
watch other other vlogs and criticize the fact that they
show other people in lesson lessthan less than glamorous

(10:36):
circumstances. That's that's the way I'm
fucking there we. Go and Satler and Waldorf up
there. Something that could be it.
Yeah. I think that's exactly it.
It feels like, do you know what we could do?
What we could? I'm going to.
I'm going to just hit a bit of news, right?

(10:59):
I want your reaction and Josh's reaction to this better news.
Robin, you can if you hear this,I'm glad you can hear this.
You can join in as well, right? So the news came yesterday that
animal Kingdom at the conservation station and I will
not read out. I actually put some swear words
in my actual notes of this. So you probably get the gist of

(11:22):
what my thoughts of this Bluey is coming to the conservation
station at Animal Kingdom next year.
Now, I might have missed out on some blue ear, but actually what
I I, I want to be corrected and you're going to tell me more.
It's a perfect fit. Yes and no.
I think in terms of mild engagement, absolutely or

(11:47):
getting bingo and Blueyo bad feeling it correctly could be
really good in terms of teachingabout wildlife, especially in
terms of conservation. It's a massive thing in
Australia and I think actually it's pretty a great choice of IP
from Disney. I struggle to think about why
it's in Animal Kingdom and not maybe thing into Epcot somewhere

(12:10):
because. I was going to say I think
Epcot's more of the, I'm not, I'm not too clued up on Blue,
but I know rough idea of what itis and I think Epcot would have
been a better fit. I think it's more educational
for children, especially in a park in Epcot, which doesn't
doesn't quite have that much forchildren at this moment in time
outside of Finding Nemo. So I think it could have been a

(12:34):
very good fit for Epcot, but I'll be interested to see what
they do at Animal Kingdom. I mean definitely.
I mean. Previously with it being Rafiki,
I think there was a lot though they did with the, you know,
theme it to The Lion King and having Jiminy Cricket and at one
point a lot of educational side of it through nature.
So I think they've just made. The I'm, I'm thinking it's just

(12:56):
to get a lot of the young kids on that train and, and basically
push them, push them across there to keep the, when it turns
down. When it is an area that isn't
heavily used and there isn't yeah, that a theme park goer
would go, oh, I really want to go and visit there, actually, if
you can force families into getting out of the main park
area and going out to there. It'll take a lot of 30 traffic.

(13:17):
Oh absolutely. It'll be like a sponge.
Right there you go that and that's that's the viewpoint that
I wanted. I wanted that sort of view from
someone who, yeah, it's got a bit of a way I do experience.
Rather than but I think the way I the way I'd flip it though is
that if probably big no in the Big Blue house that we'd put out
there, we'd have been on that train to go out and go and.
See exactly Yeah. OK, there now actually the

(13:39):
parents are doing children now, yeah.
That's the same sort of scene. They're going to get going to
see blue. That's the.
Yeah, I, I, I have a snack. Are you?
A fan of? I love Hilary and I'm a message
that blurry comes with. I kind of agree.
I'm not sure he's fits, but we know what I would take it

(14:01):
because I think I'm sure they'lldo it well.
I'm sure they'll put a lot of talks into it and blurry and
bingo will be there with a consternation of sounds.
Well, you're. Back with us, can you hear me?
I can hear you. It's where the Robin is.
It's really loud. I'm sorry.
I tried to walk away. I'll go further.

(14:23):
I'll go further. That's right.
It's that it's that Encanto showthere was like there as.
Well, I. Have to go tell you yes, let's.
Not since have it Robin, just ambient class.
I never hang. On.

(14:44):
That's bad. That's it.
Oh, there you. Go she's got her food.
She was really hungry. She hadn't had anything to eat.
Wow, she was she was on the on the search for something to eat.
So I came over to this view justbecause it's a nice, it's a nice
day it's been. Quite a little bit to the right.
Yeah, there we go. There we go.

(15:09):
Gorge. What a gorgeous day.
It's not a cloudy stand. I know it's meant to get colder
later but at the moment it's suddenly we can go to club pool,
no? Most favorite?
Place. So Zach when?
I head to club. Pool.
Yeah, why don't yeah. All right, we'll do that.
We'll see. You there in a minute.
We need Zach's live reaction at Beverly.
We know Zach's live reaction. Eventually we're both going next

(15:31):
together is what I need all. Right.
Well, we will go there and see you in a moment.
OK, no problem. You got this, This work in a
tree there. So I'm, I'm actually, yeah.
I thought this should be difficult to do this, you know?
Am I far enough away? Can you hear me?
Is it definitely OK? I have I have my my table now is

(15:56):
the table of choice. Of course in that parts it is a
trash can. So so that is Oh my, my phone
just decided it didn't like the gimbal.
Oh. No, that's never good.
I know, I know. I had I had that happen last
last year on there. I think we were.

(16:17):
I can't remember what ride it was.
I was actually quite fortunate. I retained my phone and so it
taught me a lesson that don't have a confused gimbal.
I'm pretty sure it was Oh my goodness, it was how I'm.
Going to be there on test track.Yeah, and I, I just thought, no,
that's that's that's wasn't my finest moment.

(16:39):
I must. Have.
I have no idea how I'm going to eat this and it's definitely not
going to be ladylike, so apologies in advance.
One handed while holding. No, I I admire the fact you're
actually even trying to eat it live.
Oh my gosh. Because Claire wouldn't do it.
Claire. Of course she of course she
wouldn't. She's too much of a lady.
I have not, no. She doesn't like eating into any

(17:01):
people that's. It's one of those.
I'll tell you what right while you're here, we'll, we'll
distract people and I'll talk toI'll talk to Jacob who's in the
in the chat who actually post a really lovely little message.
The contrast of the dark lights outside and my Christmas lights
against 2 live streams is beautiful and with beautiful

(17:24):
Florida sunshine is making me really happy.
That's something Jacob. That's why we do this on
Wednesday, because actually it'sactually what keeps us going
midweek as well. So yeah, you should see the
outside of my house. We're like, we're like the
Griswolds, but then a guy, a guyfor in fact, we might even do, I
might even take a picture. There's a guy on the street

(17:45):
who's basically got a competition and has beaten his
hands down this year, that film Deck.
The halls now, isn't it? Wow, quality, quality.
And then the miserable person who lives next door has just put
his his lights out today and they just look ridiculous.
Claire, what you want are. The cups clear, so that was.

(18:07):
Yeah, they've gone to plastic cups.
Hang. On.
That's not very good for the environment.
That's exactly as it turns. They used to be in paper
contracts, so we're now on the plastic cups and we're not
allowed to have plastic straws whenever we go anywhere in the
UK. Yeah, strongly worded letter to
Mr. Iger. I think that's definitely it.

(18:27):
It's Coca-Cola, isn't it? Yeah, we.
Yeah, we Coca Cola's choice. Purple Guess we don't.
Have to say, all right, add a Coke.
Yeah, all your products. And I only drink alcohol.
Do you know what these? Sliders are pretty good.

(18:47):
Is that is that for the mixture?It's impressive they've got all
the flavours there this time, most of the time they're all
blocked out. That's every flavour on that
pump. It must be.
Quiet must be quiet today. Well.
Yeah, well, I've not broken it yet.

(19:12):
Don't tell us what he's mixing. Everything.
So Zach just had the Royale fromPhilippines and the Chinese sour
plum. The Barb to sauce.
And the Brussels Sprite and the Beverly so.
The trick is you work from rightto left down, so you get to the

(19:35):
end and you can only fit in a small amount of Beverly.
OK. Oh.
No2 he go right to left so and then by the time you get to
Beverly Jane, you set a little bit.
In right it takes. You just want a little bit of
Beverly. Tell Zach.
Tell Zach. That's fine.

(19:55):
Zach, Zach, official lamb today.Yeah, again.
I don't think he minds. You see, he tends to do this for
our show, which is really good because actually when when it's
it's live on our show, I think you still owe him an iPhone.
Go on for the day. You got thought out in the
animal Kingdom. Well, in once, yeah.

(20:18):
Go. To him once.
Go on. For sure.
I'm for the record, for the podcast on Friday, that actually
did not look like the face of anyone drinking that in one.
Here we go. Here we go.
Yeah, I'm not sure I fancy that he's he's a stronger man than I

(20:41):
am. That's my that's my invitation
to Sunday dinner. Reboot.
That's no, that's not good. That was impressive, but thank
you for getting to do that. That was, yeah, that's one of
those things He's like, just look at his face.
Just look at his face. He looks like most people when

(21:05):
they come out of the pub. There's a dorm.
You might need you might need tofind him a a garbage can that's
got a top opening. Taking to mission space.
Mission space. After a while I don't.
Think you're a good move? There'll.

(21:27):
Be a Code V everywhere we're. Just walking.
Home. Towards the front of the test
track, so yeah. Heather, it wouldn't be the
first time that's happened. How's your food, Robin?
Oh, it's gone now, but it was very nice to eat you already.
I've eaten already. You, you were just, you were too

(21:48):
dizzy drinking. My food.
It was a very nice flavour, I have to say.
Yeah, I would eat it again. The the ham.
I'm not a massive meat eater andthe ham was quite thick.
So for me it was 1 was enough. I ate a couple of bites.
The second one and I was like, I've had enough of that now.
It was very meaty, which you would expect to give me.

(22:09):
It's a hand slider. Checks out.
Yeah, checks out. Yeah, indeed.
But the sauce was very nice. The honey mustard coloured sauce
and the the sugar glaze was really, yeah, it was really
tasty. That's my first.
Time now. Yeah, we've not seen.

(22:30):
This yeah. Oh, this is oh, Morgan.
Oh, I'm absolutely delighted. Don't get more the sound.
Yeah. And it's really amazing because
that's like what's inside. It's not what you expect from
the outside, the outside. And yeah, it's weird to

(22:53):
understand. Look.
I I wrote. I wrote it again this morning.
Yeah. And I liked it more the second
time. Yeah, yeah.
Because I like it. It's, it's a queue.
It's a queue line that's just sort of amazingly, sort of
ordinary. Yeah.
And actually so I just, the rideitself is just you, you can if

(23:13):
you close your eyes, you can actually rewrite it in whatever
iteration. Is it actually what it was?
Because. It's the same ride.
It's. Actually the same so close your
eyes you just really re envisageit.
Maybe, maybe that's what you could you could do.
Like Epochet, the actual realityboggles on and then you can just

(23:35):
you, you just experience it. And what?
Take your pictures of which version.
There you go. So the last time.
Last time I did it was when it was it was me and you draw the
day it closed. It was the day it closed.
Yeah, we did. Yeah.
That's the last time I've seen that area.
Yeah. Opened.
Yeah. But was it June?
What was that with an Arthur? When was our first week wasn't
enough? That was like.

(23:56):
June 15th doesn't that we got. We got very lucky.
Yeah, see Claire's showing. Off now, because you've got
sunglasses. That's part of the fact that I'm
not sure if a phone's frozen or not.
That might be another issue. There you go.
She's just very good at keeping still.

(24:17):
It's weird because actually there's little spots where the
laptop that the Wi-Fi does blockout and you suddenly become
aware of the fact that even if you're, even if you're trying to
not use 5G and save your data plan, it just pops and then the
Wi-Fi drops and then you see me like, Oh my God, I shouldn't be

(24:41):
Robin, you probably, you're probably better served than
this. It's actually busy in that bot
today because actually it looks busier.
It looks busy. It's going to be.
It was really quiet. I was here yesterday afternoon
into evening. It's pretty quiet.
And I have to say today is a different day that it's pretty
busy. Yeah, it's, it's surprising
considering it's still a weekdaynight, but it's a lot busier

(25:04):
than it was yesterday, even downto the queue.
I'm in the Munico Hall and they have a food, food there with
different cookies on. And when I was here yesterday,
it was, you know, less than halfof the queue than it is now.
So that's how much busier it is within.
Is there any, is there is like aspecial any special event on

(25:24):
today or is it just a? It's not.
Just a is it just a busy day guide coming to the.
It might just be the busy day guide.
I think Epcot's on a Saturn or whatever.
Yeah, because yesterday was a party night in Magic Kingdom, so
you'd think it would be busy yesterday because everyone's
leaving, whereas it's not a party night in Magic Kingdom

(25:44):
Day. So you think it'd be quieter,
but it didn't work out that way.But it is.
It is pretty busy. I'm just hanging around waiting.
Maybe we'll practice them. So Santa when he comes out in a
few minutes and the Epcot ball, if you haven't seen it before,
they have a gingerbread Epcot ball here and it all lights up
and it's on the countdown. It will be it's half London.

(26:07):
It's it's going to do like old routine light show.
So I thought I'd show you a bit of that might.
Be really nice. Might be tasty everywhere.
Yeah, I mean if you probably tasty, but I'm not sure that's
what's going to happen. So just for the record, because
I know we mentioned touring plans in the in the 1st of the
month show as well. So they're actually saying that

(26:29):
Magic Kingdom is busier than Epcot.
Magic Kingdom's The Six, Epcot'sA5 today.
It doesn't feel like A5, I'll behonest.
It feels, it feels a little bit busier, yeah.
I'm I'm quite taken by that. It looks, it looks busier than
them. That's that's not surprising.
It it it. Feels busier.

(26:49):
It feels like a weekend. Obviously, that's how it feels
right now. Yeah, it's, it's, I'm going, I'm
going through, I'm going throughthe next week.
And it looks like Epcot's the busiest, busiest Delta
vulnerable parks for the next 7 days.
That's the process that. All the they've got all the
festival of the holiday stuff starting now, haven't they?
So it doesn't look really comingalong and.
And the cast holders were blocked out until this weekend,

(27:11):
last weekend just gone. So I think it's busy for the
householders as well. Cast members have been the same
then. Oh, yeah, I'm trying to show
you. I don't know if you can hear the
news. Oh yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Again, if we choose the right
flipping setting on it, so you could have that in full, full,
full screen there on YouTube like oh wow.

(27:35):
Wow. It's.
Lovely, isn't it? It's very pretty.
Oh, and Sunny is running out now.
Tip gone. You know it.
Both in 1/2 an hour. Always the way.
It's yeah, that's fun. Give him.
Give him my love then. Yeah, I will.
He'll make sure he arrives here sharpish on there the 25th.

(27:57):
Yeah, I'll make sure he's got mylist ready.
Yeah. All, all presents that I'm
waiting for. We happened to catch Santa here
last night. He'd finished meeting.
However, he went round all the kind of tables that were hoping
to meet him that after his line closed and just kind of said a
quick hello. And it was very, very cute.

(28:19):
I'm really nice. And I just talking to the class
member about it. And she said he it's so no one
goes away disappointed if they're like the children, if
they're really wanting to see him, they get a moment to sort
of speak for him. And he was very, he was a really
nice guy, actually really nice. And he stopped for a photo with
me and my friend. Yeah, it was.
Really. Sweet it was.

(28:40):
Really sweet. It was a very sweet so you've
you've. Got.
You've got that all going on. Claire's got a Christmas, the
Christmas tree in view as well. This is this is like this is
couldn't, couldn't have actuallyworked this any better to
actually build that Christmas spirit into the shower as well.
So I just yeah. And now Claire's showing like
palm trees. And things like that.

(29:01):
It's just. It's like rubbing my nose on it.
Yeah, Yeah, I've got to say thisis yeah.
Oh. Who's Santa?
Oh, it's this. It's.
Santa from last night too. They're very nice Santa.

(29:22):
I will do you know what I'm being like from every place.
And of course he gets all the kids.
I love to go and have children in the stomach.
Reason. Robin's put through the line.
How do you know? You know who I am.
Yeah, I won't say. I mean, could be children say,

(29:43):
you know, we don't have our we're still.
Not Santa. Santa, we're live.
We're live on there. Yeah, 'cause I'm over here.
I'm. Over in Santa.
Yeah. Special guest star Yeah.
Exactly. Robin wants to see your laugh.
And talk about what I want for Christmas.
Yes, obviously, that's what I was going to say next.

(30:05):
I just do. You think, do you think he's got
the right Tiffany for me? You never know.
You never know. Well, I said outside on that
boat. Yeah you went outside we're
going to go plan he's busy giving us a weather a weather
report looks like shorts and T-shirt see and Robin.

(30:26):
Robin puts his sunglasses on as well.
It's. It's pretty warm stood here.
It looks it's that. It's got T-shirt.
Yeah, I've got the heat on full blast.
Yeah, I've got. My fluffy slippers it.
Is quite warm. Definitely 10.
Degrees. But Zach's reliably told me
there's the weather band next tome that it's going to drop 10°

(30:47):
in the next two hours, so it might not be right.
Because it. Yeah, because it'll be that time
where the sun goes down. Yeah, and it catches everybody
out. Everyone British has gone out in
shorts and T-shirt and you suddenly have to go to the the
the shop to buy yourself a sweater.
My sweatshirt is in a locker at International Gateway ready.

(31:09):
Well planned, like it. Spirit Spirit Jersey Spirit
Jersey's pails just go skyrocketing.
Don't no rocket it. Goes yeah.
I am not going to need a sweaterlater.
I don't have it. I've looked at the temperature
and I'm going to be fine. It's not that cold later.
A little bit of a rice and better and the chat as well for

(31:29):
you Robin, don't elbow the little kids out the way unless
you want to be on the naughty list.
I actually care, I mean. Advice for advice for life that
I had to write, I would say. I mean, I think I'm already on
that list. So what's another elbow?

(31:49):
Who's that last time you do you appreciate?
It yes, this is very beautiful out this evening it's it's
getting towards golden hour, my favorite time of day it's.
Beautiful. And that, and that's, that for
me is exactly 1 of the things that people people kind of miss.

(32:14):
And in most of the parts you getthat same thing.
I remember, oh, it's going back a bit, 2009, it was the last
Christmas we were there. And it's actually, it's just
that when the sun starts, startsto setting, because it's so low
in the sky, the colours of the sky are just incredible.
And it's just, yeah. I really don't think you can

(32:37):
beat it this time of year. No, I've got some fantastic
sunset pictures from across thatlake just because it's so flat
and open as well. You get such a nice view across
the lake but isn't here, isn't disturbed by anything so it's
the perfect spot to get a sunsetof houses on.
It we've been a psychos in the tacos in the middle, like, you
know, that was that was a monster stroke.

(32:59):
I love. Those.
Tacos. I could do that.
I love them. No, I mean, I could.
It'd be great if they could figure out a way to wheel them
in and wheel them out, but it was still worth it because the
show was that good. Better than Lumina?
I'm going to, I'm going to get me posted now.
I'm going to actually, I think we should start a debate on that

(33:21):
for one of the January shows. Let's just be deliberately.
Argumentative question. So I'm not so that and then.
Suddenly. No, it will.
Be no. After January.
We'll all be on the Nords list then.
Yeah, Margaritas. Yeah, yeah.
I'm pretty sure Claire told me she had a Margarita breakfast

(33:41):
today. Really.
I may have done. Yeah.
And with a low tail of that. Yes, yes, there was the
traditional Epcot breakfast at 11 of the low tea and orange
Margarita. Great this morning.
That's that's how you. Should breakfast in Epcot?

(34:04):
I don't think there's any other one.
You have breakfast in Epcot, to be honest.
I I agree, I was very young how busy it is now because this is
like the bottleneck of all bottle mix and it's.
Really loud. Yeah, the.
Best way to see is how long the queue is for three cab.
And it's in above time, so. We could go and ride that.
So. We know there's a black spot.

(34:24):
On three cabbie areas. Because we've tried that before,
yeah. That's great.
Yeah, that's just been holding. Do you know what?
I think I'm going to go and havea look at some of the Christmas
merchandise in Connections. Is it Connections?
Creations. Creations.
Creations, yeah. Now while you do that, Robin,

(34:44):
keep your eye out for the shirt limit, a net cop exclusive
shirt, which looks absolutely incredible.
So if it's available in an extralarge, I'll send it.
You might, You might. I might need more information.

(35:04):
That's all right, other than Epcot shirts.
Yeah, it's all right. You'll you'll see it exactly.
It's. Definitely Epcot shirt, yeah.
OK. Christmas shirt.
But it was, it was it wasn't available in an extra large of
the day. So I'm, I'm now looking for one
for two of them, one for me and one for Neil because I trust, I

(35:27):
trust Neil's judgment on this. When you get sent a photo of a
shirt and he's like, this is, this is something you would
wear? And I'm like, and I, yeah, it's
definitely something I would wear.
It is, it looks absent. So I'll send it to both you and
player later on. If it's, if it's there, then

(35:47):
obviously I'll, I'll start you on cash wives.
That's fine. Yes, so it will cost you double
what it says on the ticket. Yeah.
And and that's, that's what Neilsaid, he actually, it's that
popular a shirt that the resellers are actually on to it
and that's why they couldn't getit.
There was none. There was none in connections
the other day. Damn resellers.

(36:10):
Creations the other day. Yeah, because it's actually,
yeah. No, they do, yeah.
Neil Neil did suggest he could go on a diet and he just decided
no, he just wants it. Which I thought was quite a
wise. Move.
Really. I agree.
Heather. I agree with that. close, close.
Breakfast. Breakfast of champions.

(36:31):
I I yeah, I agree. That's exactly.
Yeah, I was agreeing. Well, seeing.
As though Clive's going through.Epcot, I was seeing today that
they've announced that the new animatronics are going to get
put in next February. Oh, into Frozen.
Into Frozen, yeah. So that's closing shortly as
well, isn't it? What we can do is Joe and the
sham. Yeah, Unfortunately, though,

(36:54):
we're not. We're not.
Getting the The Frozen Frozen the Olaf animatronic character
meet and greet in Orlando yet, which I think is an absolute
shame because it looks so amazing.
It does look amazing and actually I'm.
Just glad to get rid of them animatronics.
On that ride, though, they weren't going to put in a
decade. Ago, and they're not.

(37:15):
Good now so he despise it. It's not.
Can't be far off now. I'm not sure.
Hold on. Let me figure out for you.
Male from? Wasn't that one ago?
I think it might be, you know. I think yeah, I.
Think you might be right. I got I'm going for 2016 males
from shop. Oh, I've got it.
I've. Got it.

(37:35):
Yeah, 2014, so it is now 11 years.
There you go. There you go.
There's your decade. Look.
Look, I'm the old, I'm the old one here.
I'm. I'm meant to be the one that
doesn't remember all this stuff.Yeah, that is.
That's crazy, isn't it? I think.
But I think that's why. It's crazy is the fact that we
still look at Frozen Africa as anew ride, but actually it's

(37:58):
probably where it needs a bit ofa refurb.
And we'll get. To that point, in Animal Kingdom
as well, yeah, I think. Yeah, the.
Wi-fi's Wi-fi's got. Is this neither No I'm connected
or slot connected? I'll see.
Look, it's messed me. Around on the well, I'm still

(38:18):
here. Yeah.
Let's keep you right in the centre.
Middle and centre just have to just have to lead in a bit.
The world of Avatar opened in. 2017, so we are nine years, next
year nine years, so that can't be.
That can't be too. Far off needing.

(38:39):
Some form of renovation to it because that's been they need to
make more films before they actually.
Renovate the lie. Yeah, get the films out, sort
the films. Oh, more Stitch.
Hello, more Stitch snitch. Yeah.
That's yes, that is the price that you saw.

(38:59):
That's little price as well. I'm here with the pink, the
pink, the pink stuff. I love this stuff.
That's what John. Yeah, this is the one you want
to write. John.
Extra large? I don't know.
I can't. See them now?
I've messed it up. Oh gosh, I'm going to try and do

(39:20):
it. Here we go.
Oh, happy. That's just my colour.
Robin like that. Isn't it perfect?
For you it's actually. Quite a nice pizza.
I I really like it. I think it's not too expensive
here, $35.00 but it is, it's like it's like glitter as well.
So it is very pretty for business.

(39:41):
I really do. I'm just not really a big
T-shirt for a wearer. But I also like the sweatshirt.
And the sweatshirt is very nice too.
I like the pink, the pink girly things.
Yeah, I like men. I like all the Christmas.
I don't know if anyone else remembers these ears from a few
years ago. No, they're back.
This year. And they were very popular.

(40:05):
I nearly bought some the other day that I remembered.
I never wear it, you see, I'm like.
Yeah, I'm like. That times as well.
Oh, I like that Christmas Crocs.Actually didn't.
They'll be in the outlets next. Summer.
Yes, they will be they. Might not, they might not.
Still be there in the. Summer, but they might have all
gone in January. Half price down to 60. 999.

(40:29):
Yeah, you can wear. It's.
This is like wearing a blanket. It's so soft and but it is also
like wearing a blanket. I'm not sure you need that in
Florida. No, ask me.
Later when I'm. Freezing and Claire's warm.
Yeah, that's true. You'd be going back.
Yeah, you'd. Be going back for that later on
then. Oh my goodness, I haven't seen.

(40:50):
This. Yet this is the first time I've
seen this T-shirt. I love that.
I have not. Seen that?
I've seen some of these other ones.
You need the one next to it. That.
One or or. Well, that 10.
Daisy No, no, no. The other one they've.
Got they've got the matching 1. Simon's always.

(41:10):
On my naughty list. I like those.
I have looked at those ones. Lou said.
Lou said the better. I don't know.
What you're talking about charm?Oh.
Name I do what you're talking. About I'm coming here for the.
Tufts because I haven't seen my stories the other day.

(41:30):
If you haven't seen my story theother day.
I saw a cup. I said I don't need any more
cups, don't buy it. I walked away from it and I want
it and I can't find it anywhere.Oh no, of course.
So I'm on the hunt. The amount of those that dropped
and broke. A day are enormous.
Oh, so that's the why they're soexpensive.
To cover all the breakages, Yeah, today I do.

(41:53):
Have my Epcot and. Bill Gotham, this thing My Epcot
Starbucks. Yeah.
They've got those. They're out.
It is the bug that I'm looking for is a pink Christmas mug.
So it I wasn't super expensive to be with the mug, but they
have some other Christmas bugs. That's cool.
I think Claire's gone for beers.In Germany, she's gone for a

(42:14):
chef. Oh, it's gone for.
Herself, I think she got for herself.
That's it. Oh, it's not.
Under my. Can you hear us?
That's the other one. I don't think she can hear us
and I we can't hear. I think Germany's got a dodgy
connection. Yeah.

(42:35):
I'm saying nothing, right? On cue, there you.
Go. Well, I'm just having a great
time in the shop. Who doesn't love listening
around the Disney mate? You've been dead clad here, Rob.
Because actually. You stayed indoors and you're
avoiding being outside, so you. Have got something?
Yeah. Food.
Food. BBC Lounge and Shopping all

(42:56):
within this data but in creationsystem.
Wi-Fi, Yeah, I I'm still on. 3G.Or 5G or 4G or something G So I
didn't I didn't log on to the Wi-Fi, which it was a mistake in
my really. But when I get a message to say
you use 90% of your data, we'll know why.
Yeah. So on expenses.

(43:17):
Yes, charges. Will make you awful.
Ben's, Ben's not here, so you'reall right.
Yes, I, I we met. Up for about 15 minutes before
we went live, I said to Claire, so what's the plan?
What we going to do? She's like, oh, I was like, oh,
OK. I was thinking we'll start the
DVC. Lads OK here, OK here.
She's like, OK. Yeah.

(43:38):
That's what we like. That's that's the way we were
doing a Wednesday. It's just like fly.
By the seat of our. Pants.
Do We'll do what we want exactly.
And to be honest, part of the reason I'm staying in the shop
right now is Joyful are going and very loud outside.
So I'm trying to stay in here where it's not quite deafening,

(44:00):
so I feel. Like this, Time's looked around.
Everything and there's no clinked up, so I'm done with.
It's making it's making me happier.
There, Robin, bringing back. Nice.
Memories. Heals my heart.
You know something? It's actually one of those
places that. I actually, I actually think is
a massive improvement on what was there before.

(44:21):
And actually that the range, therange of merch that's in there
is so well organized that if youare looking for something you're
not in that. Yeah, Previously you're having
to go into different parts of the store and it wasn't always
one. And now when you go in, it's so
brilliantly organized. It's like being in a proper

(44:42):
department store where if you want something that's either
pink, but you want something that's yeah, a lounge fly you,
You just know you have to go. You can get it right one it's.
Meticulous. It's meticulous and it's
methodical and it's like the machine Ironic.
During the bathroom. It's called Nauskia.

(45:02):
Yeah. It is but.
I, I, you know you could never find anything in Mouse here.
Claire's back with beer and and Ben's in the chat.
Hi, Ben. How is it?
Yeah, there you go. Ben, you're all right.
We haven't we? Haven't.
We're not charging anything. And we're definitely not.
Charging anything we're. All all alone.

(45:23):
Best behaviour and actually we did apologise to everyone
starting show for the the first I watch this first one.
Claire, that looks. Fabulous.
Love that. Oh, jealous.
I can't have to because. Morgan and Josh are on the show.
I've absolutely had to. You have to talk to us with it.
Yeah, yes, very nice. Very.
Cold. It that just looks a perfect

(45:45):
drink for today that is althoughif anyone needs to their shop.
For half a fix in the UKI have found the bar in Huddersfield by
Joe's accommodation that we doesn't help me down in Kent.
It doesn't help you down in Kentnow.
And the bar. In Huddersfield is concerned.
So. Yeah.
Is that the bin is? It's really weird because my

(46:07):
phone on a bin is really sticky.Oh, I know, but the.
Yeah, that's one of your Ricky things, isn't it?
Busy. In Germany.
Claire also found. Out.
It's one of Robin's icky things too.
When I had a sticky drink on Monday night and I could not
cope. I had to go and find someone to

(46:28):
wash my hands and I had to change a new for a new glass
because it was too sticky. I was like, yes, I'm with you.
I'm with. You on that?
Is that Robin? In your general direction, where
you're facing now, is there a figment on top of a box?
Yes. Do you want to?
See a pigment? On top of a box.
I'd love to see a pigment on topof a box.

original. Rye figments that they wheel out

Other day they have a really cheap handbag that can also go
into a backpack. It is really nice and it's got

(48:37):
the fixing so you can make it into a backpack if you want to
or carry it like this as a crossbody.
I really like it and it's not very expensive, $45.00.

Yeah. So we are not.

(49:20):
In line for this one, we're going to go for the 645, I
think. And I I just told me that
Jennifer Garner is not doing it.She's bailed and Ashley Epstein
is doing it. So, oh, not her again, which is
I love Ashley Epstein. I saw her do it last time, so
she went. Yeah, yeah, this is what
happened to me last time. They, whoever was doing it
bailed and she stepped in. Yeah, that's exactly what

(49:42):
happens. Love her.
She was about. 15 minutes away. So yeah.
I mean, she was. Great, I don't want to see her
again. Oh man, I suppose you.
Can see kind of that later. So oh definitely class I, I.
I actually, that's one thing about Epcot at Christmas that is
truly unmissable. And and even if you don't get

(50:03):
into the theatre, just standing towards the back and just trying
to soak it up, it's worth doing just if you if you're going to
be there, it's just it's beautiful.
It's yeah, I I actually think that's that's one of the things
I would go back at Christians just to see and how it really
is. So you've found.

(50:24):
Yourself round to. Italy.
Already, Yeah, I'm quite impressed at how quickly you and
I have got round world's own sense and that's what he's
looking. For food, yeah, I do.

Quite. He's looking for food.
What surprised me is how. Poor the Wi-Fi has been Yeah, I
in varying. Points around there and.

(50:44):
That's yeah, there's definitely black spots.
And that's I'm trying to kind ofstay still for a minute to see
if I can be connected. But yeah, Zach, Zach's pushing
for some food. Please, please pizza.
Well. It needs.
To be, I'm not sure it needs to grab.
Some cheese in a bread bowl. That was good.
I mean, there wasn't enough cheese, but it very tasting,

(51:05):
enormous in Germany for that thethe cheese and grades, it's
huge. Yeah, it's all right.
It's. Super busy around here.
I think it might get a bit quieter when the first Yeah,
it's yeah, when the session starts.
Let me. Soak up some soak up some camera
around. I'm going to give you a little.
Deal on the small way. Yeah, definitely.
I think as well it's it's worth.I know, I know we spoke about

(51:27):
this, doing this and actually trying to do living with the
land, but actually just for the benefit of the two boys are
joining us on the show. We have a live update from the
Sheldon's who wouldn't have caught the other day and there's
no bananas. I see the photos of baby
bananas. Today, yeah, I.
Saw. I saw bananas, yeah.

(51:48):
I saw. Bananas last.
All bananas shown at the moment,Sir.
Yeah, it's disappointed. I'd be upset.
Yeah, they must have just replaced somebody, you know,
they. Went down to public so when I
and just that's just decided let's go and get let's go and
get these put these in the greenmake sure no one complaints.

(52:12):

Knew you were going to. Join the waffles time they.
Knew you were going to talk about it.
Oh exactly. You love that gimbal, Robin.
Don't you? I do not.
I do not love the. Gimbal look at obviously the
state of it. It's great that normally
happens. Halfway through the Lanting show

Dumbstruck at how busy it is. It's it's it's busy.
Enough that I'm going. Do I want to go somewhere else?

(53:16):
Yeah. And I I.
Think that's. That's.
Really where you've got that choice that it's certainly early
December, it's the fact that it's, you find yourself in the
wrong park is, is what do you doabout it?
Because actually I was, I was expecting you guys to face it
off the park to yourself if we if we'd had a video yesterday.
That's kind of how it went. So yeah, was a surprise to come

(53:39):
in today and see as busy as it was, I would expect it to be
quieter the best way. Well, you go to Animal.
Kingdom at the. Moment and it's free there at
the moment, so yeah. But doesn't it close in like 2?
Hours or one hour open till 8. Oh.
Yeah, it's open. Everest it's.
Currently a 15. Minute away and Safari is 25.

(54:01):
So maybe what you're saying is Ineed to go to?
Airports I need to hop on over no so animal Kingdom exactly
flight of passage this. Here's your real kicker is only
35 minutes. Yeah, I.

Yesterday I was in Magic Kingdom.
There was a 20 minute wait. That's wrong.

(54:22):
Wow, 20 minutes. That's why you guys are out.

never. Get your stocking every sign.
Yeah, that's it. Yeah.
Yeah, I'm not. I'm.
Not. I'm not going to that joke.
Yeah, Claire is that, that is the most extraordinary amount of

(55:04):
people. Hi, sorry.
Date on the candlelight situation, Yeah.
Yeah, so it's actually this evening.
It's Susan Egan who is Megara from Hercules.
Which is why the key was so big.There's already.
A line for 6:45 but it seems. Like it's a.

(55:26):
Must do there. Yeah, I mean.
That that does make it like. More appealing for me, I'm not
going to lie. Yeah, yeah.
But so. So actually Robin I, I think.
Yeah, I think Robin, that's definitely a yeah.
Yeah, I think she was just in. London like a couple.
Of weeks. Ago.
Yeah, she was singing. I saw that.
Yeah, she was over. And then she's done a few other

(55:49):
things. Yeah.
I think I'm stuck here now. Then I can't leave and go to
random or Kingdom. Sadly, I can't.
I can't sense. You the. 1st 5 minute late for
up and roller coaster. 40 minutelate for Star Wars Rise the
Resistance. No, when I was there the other.
Day. It was 20 minutes from Rise as
well. So I think.

(56:11):
I think that's it. I'm stuff it apart now.
I think I want to go round and join.
Nice. I've got to stay here now.
Get get in line with. Well, so I let send Claire to
get in line and then me wander all the way around.
Yeah, yeah, you come. Join us, come find us.
We're. Going to get Zack some food and

(56:33):
then we can come and join us andwe'll we'll watch the
candlelight. I think that's what's happened,
hasn't it? Absolutely super.
Yeah. I've got to say, it's just been.
So nice to be like to one from Robin to take her shopping,
Claire to go drinking and actually walk around but playing
walking. Around was.
Nicer than just. Standing still, looking at it.

(56:56):
Back. To Zack or looking.
At it. And to Zack at the wrong moment.
People have joined the show to see Epcot.
Not to see my face, no. And that.
Was and that was nice. Actually, we had that that
total, total balance of chat shopping and what's not to like?

(57:17):
It's. Just that perfect.
Perfect, now I'm very aware thatprobably photo your fan boxes
are absolutely frying little bit.
So. Do you guys need a drop and then
we just I think that's OK I. Think should be fair and to.

(57:38):
Actually, to you both answer ZacBrown, who we thank always to
being a star of a star of all our shows.
Can I just say a massive thank you for taking time out your
holiday to actually do this because I know my pleasure.
It's an absolute. Pain in the.
Backside. When you're actually out there,
it's good. Yeah, but yeah.

(58:00):
It's taking time and. I really appreciate you doing
Emily get to see your beautiful.Faces so you know it's worth it.
I don't give over. We were going to.
We will see you. Next week, but not somewhere
sunny and warm as this. Unfortunately, no.

(58:20):
And that'll be a bit of a. Calm that'll be a bit of a calm
down as well rainy cold here yeah.
Can I just also say as well, go and check out your photos on the
socials from Monday night as well, and also close socials and
Robin socials individually, observe pictures that you
posted. Yeah, although we're not

(58:43):
actually there, your photos actually do make such a massive
difference. And I know, yeah, because the
weather is rubbish. It just gives everyone that
little lift. And we appreciate you doing
that. So a massive thank you.
Thank you for doing this. Share with us tonight.
And go and enjoy the rest. Of the day.

(59:03):
But more importantly, go and enjoy that candlelight
processional. Yeah, yeah.
Post it, yeah. Post some bit all right, we'll.
See. You later.
Yes, guys, bye. Bye.
No. We're still there.
That's all right. There we go.
There we go. See, I can do that.

(59:24):
I can put her out of misery thatway.
You see, rather than anything else.
It's just what I was going to say.
I would just I'm going to whistle your news.
And this is actually this is possibly the quickest show that
we've been doing for ages. But both of you, what were your
views on the rock and roller coaster when everyone went in

(59:45):
the other morning and suddenly there's a big screen up.
There's no pre show And it's like there you go.
No chance to say goodbye to Aerosmith, no chance to say what
you know. One last recall of how about
some guest passes and things like gone.
No warning. It worries me slightly though.

(01:00:07):
Because I think that Disney are viewing the actual closure of
Rock and Roller Coaster, they'regoing to try and do it on such a
short term basis. So they're going to try and keep
the ride open as long as they possibly can because they know
that the pre show will obviouslyrequire a total resume.
Now my worry is is that they'll do what they've done with test
track and they will do a very quick refit inside the ride, not

(01:00:31):
particularly re seam or actuallyput in the theme.
And that's required for the for the new ride.
For someone so young, how you can you?
Be so cynical. Unfortunately, I just see it.
Coming, can't you? You can just see it coming.
They'll just put, no, we did, wedid see and you're.
Surprised by that? So we saw, we saw they put the

(01:00:52):
new. Track in, was it last year or
year before coming? That's when we were out there,
wasn't it? So two years ago now, yeah,
Yeah, but it still went. Tech.
It still went tech the minute minute it reopened.
It needs some serious TLC. From what?
From what? On the actual sensors and
things. From what we'd heard as well, it
was the ride vehicles. That are also a big problem and
actually I'm not convinced they'll replace any of that

(01:01:14):
stuff such. I'm convinced that whether I put
in there the same issues will probably still be there.
Yeah, it'll just be a different pre show.
Yeah, I reckon the ride vehiclesget painted.
Pink calling that one now. So when we come back in a couple
months time and it's pink, you can you can say Morgan called
it. And I think.
That they. Are they're being very wise in

(01:01:37):
terms of financial tickets, in terms of it's still an
attraction that can be used. However, they're trying to do as
much as they can without closing, without shutting it
down, I can understand. That because actually, I think
you know, even even today, the the the news today, I'm going
across the rest of the news as we as we speak.
But for it to come out Big Thunder and Buzz Light year in

(01:02:01):
Magic Kingdom's going to reopen in spring 2026.
The parks can't, you know, Disney parks in particular this
moment in time, I don't think can afford to have rides at big
rides shut for any exact length of time.
Magic Kingdom's really been stifled this year by the closure

(01:02:21):
of big Sun That and then closingoff a big and then the big boat.
They used to eat up lots of people.
It doesn't work. And actually, I mean, that's
that's a massive thing within the studios.
If you have the Rock'n'roll the coaster town for a prolonged
period of time, you're going to add much, much more to Tower of

(01:02:44):
Terror in particular, and then also add much more wait time
into other parts of the Iraq as well.
I mean also it. Realistically, if they're shot,
if they, if they do show rock and roller, is anyone going to
go that way to do the villains show?
Like, because that's not that's not a big gap of that part of
the park. Yeah.
People aren't going to make the efforts go round that way

(01:03:06):
because the the whole thing's shut.
They're not going to go well andgo that way.
No. Oh, well, that must be.
But do them as well. Muppet Vision 3D.
That previously had 30 capable of taking in 200 people.
That's gone as well. You've got like a, You've got
like a I'm really. Enjoying this.
Josh is actually, yeah, I could just retire from doing this now.

(01:03:27):
And actually just like, like Josh coming on a Wednesday
night. I just winged, you know, he he
just winds you on my behalf and I just like I could be I could
just sit and watch the football every every Wednesday.
Exactly and you're quite stabbing.
I'm single. It's.
Great I I love this. This is, this is just absolutely
magical. I I just said, yeah, job done.
I'm going to take that. I was just like, that's all.

(01:03:49):
I think Heather's got a great point as well.
Actually, yeah, we can't like the.
Next bit of news. Though this this yeah, let's.
Let's get the positive. Let's do the.
Positive bit of news because actually this was again was just
one of those bits that you're just like yes yeah this is what
I want to see soaring across America will be open and and the
word in this was really important for me because whereas

(01:04:11):
whereas the whole bit about Bluey and Big Thunder and Buzz
was all 20 spring 2026 and then but Bluey was I think it was
July soaring across America by Memorial Day 2026 so Memorial
Day for the record is May the 25th.
So if you're going possibly anytime in May and anytime

(01:04:35):
after, you are going to be able to find out what it's like to
queue for a long time for soaring because I would pretty
much imagine that will be another crowded which which
hopefully. Will mean short.
Queues for guardians and actually there isn't a very long
queue for test track if you turnthe single ride line anyway, so.

(01:04:58):
That, for me is that. For me is one of the best
reasons for going next year and I don't really have as much
connection with. Around the world as California
ever gave me. So I'm I'm willing to try
something new, see what it's like.
I'm looking forward to it. It's going to be, it's going to
be good, I think. It's going to be it's going to
be different, which is quite nice.
Something quite different in a same format will be good for

(01:05:20):
that area of the park. I think especially to bring I'd
as much as I hate to say it, or bring more foot traffic to
living with the land. I don't know if that's a good
thing or a bad thing. We'll just pay for our Lightning
Lane mortgage. It said no.
One ever. Yeah, exactly.
I want to be the first person ever to.
Pay for a lightning lane for living with the land I bet you

(01:05:42):
people. Do.
That would be quite interesting,wouldn't it?
But I've got to see it, yeah. I've never played for.
Lightning night ever and that's I'm quite proud I'm going to
get. We've been talking about
different, different pin badges that we were buying for Katie,
for being on the show for a legend award and things like
that. We've also recorded a show for

(01:06:03):
the mid month show for December was Andy Goulding who has been
to all six Disney parks in one year and see all 6 Disney
castles. Absolutely.
She's Herb recording. And actually the one question we
didn't ask with how much it cost, but that's that's coming
out. That's going to be like in a

(01:06:24):
couple of weeks time. There is just loads of things
happening. I know you guys have got plans
for another podcast as well and at some point.
Yeah, that's fine. We're not going to put any.
Pressure on you guys. You just record when you like.
We'd put it out when we want andthen we can go from there.
And but thank you both for seeing us through tonight

(01:06:44):
because actually as as probably.Morgue as your mum.
Showed when the Wi-Fi goes at Epcot, this could have been a
highly uncomfortable experience.So just it could have just been
me talking to myself if you guyshadn't joined in.
So I very much appreciate the time that you guys had given up
as well and massive thank you for that.
No problem. That's all right.

(01:07:06):
Absolutely. It's fun, yeah.
Like I said, that start the show.
Going down go and download the 1st of the month show.
You'd never know what version you're going to get, which if
you down if you download it. Now you get the right version
and I pretty much guarantee thatmy phone downloaded it as soon
as Ben released the old. I currently have the behind the

(01:07:27):
scenes look. Let's push everyone go and.
Download it and play it and actually there's a couple of
bits, the very at the start, there's a bit of a sweary bit
and then there's a bit of it I think towards the end.
So you have to listen to it longer than possibly you
normally would. So listen to the end and just
just make make a point. Get in touch with us.

(01:07:48):
If you're offended, we do apologise, get in touch with us
to tell us how offended you were.
But it happens. I'm sorry.
And more than anything else, it's the festive season.
So we can get away with much, much more than we normally do.
Heather, I'm just going to say amassive thank you.
You always stay with us every single week from start to the

(01:08:11):
finish. And I really do feel that.
Yeah, we've been talking about badges and things like that, you
know, pins, as you guys call them.
But a massive thank you. You, you really are.
You really are one-of-a-kind. Because knowing that you're
listening while they're having lunch in California every single
week is truly appreciated. And I think that's about it for

(01:08:35):
this week. Go and check out our Facebook
community to watch on exams. Because there might be something
in there that maybe Ben should upload, should upload a Patreon
version of. Would you pay for the swearing
version that. But that could be something some
people, that was another bit of news that didn't go on about,

(01:08:55):
but actually some Disney Bloggerwhose name I shall not mention
has started off a Patreon. He put it on Twitter to begin
with and then quickly removed any comments on Twitter.
So I dread to think what people were actually saying on that.
I have my own view on that one and on that on that bombshell.
Thanks, Mark. Thanks, Josh, for joining me.

(01:09:17):
And we'll see you soon. We'll see you.
See you soon. And then I figure out how which
button? To press to end this famously.
And that's, that's the nice thing about this and that's why
that's why it's good you see, because I've got this on 2
screens and I need to decide which screen I have to press the
buttons on. So it's this one, right?
We'll catch you next week. We're back next next Wednesday

(01:09:39):
night. Thank you, thank you for
watching, thank you for listening for you on the
podcast. Now my wheels in motion and my
windows.
