What are you going to do next?

Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Let's talk Disney. Well, look, can somebody even remind me? How
did how did we end up here? I thought you had seen a news
story about people who do that.Oh it was down down in a day
or something like that. It waslike people who would go for a day.
So they get up early, theygo to the airport, they go
to Disney, they come back,they get on a plane, they come

(00:21):
back and they're done. But whydid we decide to even flirt with the
idea of doing it? Because itsounded great? Don't forget that part,
please, especially when we get intothis debate the and listen on the surface,
does it sound fun? Maybe?I don't know. Here's my my

(00:47):
adventure. I will give you that. You'll give you that. Tiana's got
to buy you adventure. This outand back Disney in a day. This
is definitely an adventure. I willgive you that. Just in Orlando from
start to finish. No, Iwill give you that. I will give
you that. But all adventures aren'tgreat. Okay, but you don't know

(01:12):
that until you mark Okay, butare you also jaundiced because you've been there?
Number one and number two love itmore than most things in the world.
Okay, that's not true. OhI'm sorry. Love it more than
anything else in the world, despitewhat Kristen has told the office, Like,

(01:38):
I know it's coming off as ifI'm a I don't want to use
the F word, but freak outtoo many letters. You thought it was
just f No, And I amdisappointed in you guys to Star Art.

(02:00):
I mean, we haven't even whatare we disappointed in. They haven't even
gotten anywhere. We're at the hashtagthe Disney decision, and no one had
had noticed that I'm wearing a tinkerBell sweatshirt. Oh my god, I
was right. Jesus, Wait aminute, Oh my god, it's well,
you can't tell until you zip itup. Now. I noticed earlier

(02:24):
you're wearing a Star Wars T shirt. But I thought the whole thing was
that we weren't good. If wego, we're not even gonna be able
to see Star Wars, right,But I was that to try to man
up the sweatshirt. I think,like my FANTASIAUS sweatshirt, my like Magic
Kingdom shirts are dirty or something.I couldn't find my Mickey one from Fantasia,

(02:45):
so I'm abo dance different Fantasia.So that's take your bell. As
we've discussed, it's his favorite character, Peter Pan, not a ride we
would have time for now that waitis always over sixty minutes. See.
But that's the other thing that wetalked about, the the the if,

(03:07):
and I gotta keep saying if,if we go, it's down and back
right, So we we have towe have to There's so many parameters on
this goddamn trip. Number one,we have to go that morning, we
have to come back that night.But every rite was it isn't it By

(03:29):
the way, we also we haveto go on a Wednesday, which is
a huge negative for me. Wehave to go on a Wednesday because based
on no research other than one article, Wednesday is the day to go for
for down and back trips. Also, everything else is like you said the

(03:50):
lines, it's going to be summervacation. So I know who had the
app yesterday where it was like checkthe time for and it was already over
an hour. That was right afterwe got off. Yeah, and by
the way, that's not during thesummer. People are still in school,

(04:12):
Like, there's not big fat familiesthere yet. Size of the family itself,
yes, number so what is inI don't know what's the park that
that we're going to? Mechic kingno, No, well yes, but

(04:35):
what were you saying yesterday where youwere like, oh, and then if
we go, we're gonna be therefor rope Drop. And if we go
for rope Drop, then we gotto go when they opened the gate actual
opening of the park for the day. You ever been at the mall and
the person goes out and they bendover it and they unlocked the door at
the floor, that's rope Drop.They just give it a fun name.

(04:58):
Well that's not true. You knowthat we discussed there's the let the Magic
Begin welcome show and that said abouteight fifty five Eastern. It's only two
to three minutes. But it's justI can't even say it's the right note.
It is the best note to startyour day on. And that's all
we have the day. No,but like, so you keep talking about

(05:24):
like we can only go to onepark. Ye, well that's because we
don't have time to park op theNo. But you were but then what
is what is like you were like, well, if we get there for
rope Drop and then we go tois it Adventure Frontier? Well, I
don't understand what all the lands are. Well, I've been looking at the
maps and thinking about it and consultingwith blogs for our strategy. And since

(05:45):
early entry is east in terms ofthe way in which they bring you to
like Tomorrowland, everyone is either comingfrom the rope or coming from the east
of the park. So if wehead west immediately, we could get into
adventure Land. Perhaps do Jungle Cruise, we do Pirates of the Caribbean.

(06:10):
We could, I think Diane saysshe wanted to grab an egg roll,
hot fingerfoods. We do the TikiRoom by the way. Yeah, by
the way. The don't do Aladdinthough, don't do a Laddin you know
my rule. My rule is ifyou can see the whole ride, we're
not doing the ride, oh right, because it's like a pussy ride or
something. No, that's not true. It's just you can't do roller coasters

(06:35):
and I have Birdigo. The otherones are pussy rides. Now, if
we go, yeah, it's goingto be hot. Well, we know
that. We we talked about soTiana's by you. Adventure is opening June
twenty eighth. Right that we knowis outside of our window to go right

(07:00):
because of Chad, So it's notYeah, it's not gonna be July or
August, which can be steamier.Oh so you don't think in June it's
warm, but it's still okay,it's Florida. It's still like you should
wear shorts. Set right. Iwas gonna ask are you gonna wear the
Tinkerbell sweatshirt? Now? You knowI haven't allowed it picked out her.
I've brought some of it with metoday. By the way, can I

(07:24):
also say this the goddamn targeted adsthat I'm getting now? For example,
Diane fourteen of the best bags tobring the Disney World. Why am I
getting? That? Got to beclear? Right? Say again? Do
they need to be clear? Theclear plastic? You know what bag I'm
bringing to Disney World? That wasthat's it? Yes? Oh my god,

(07:47):
Tyler, what is that? Oh? The lanyards that's what That's what
somebody holds on too, so youcan't run away while they're punching. These
were gifts that Chad my children.We've added to the pins ourselves, but
he started them off a little collection. Dants. We're doing right now like

(08:07):
a pirate's on the one land.Thank you? And then I know I'm
not wearing a sweatshirt. It's goingto be warm. I'm wearingrees. I
would be wearing my actually, Imean you've seen it before because it was

(08:28):
part of a Christmas card that myfamily sent out two years ago. I'll
be wearing my Mickey Mouse Luau shirt. Nat. I think I wore that
to a Tiki takeover as well once, and I think I did. Okay,
so I've worn it before. That'swhatever. How to wear it for
a third time? Third time's thecharm? Right, it's good luck.

(08:50):
I'm already bringing all the good vibes. We're gonna need some luck. Oh
Spirit. Yeah. That and bythe way, that's the other thing.
When you start looking to get downthere, Yeah, it ain't. They're
not like like, oh well,let's see we did. You're essentially going.

(09:11):
I mean it's Spirit Airline. Yeah, I mean that's your So you're
you're limited on your choices. Sothere's a decent chance of fights. There
is a decent chance of clipping anotherplane. There's also remember wasn't it a
week ago we saw the the thethe river flow down the aisle. They're
definitely direct flights, though we can'tafford to do a connection. Oh,

(09:35):
we can afford to do a connection, but not with our limited time.
Well, I don't know. Thecruise director here is already laid out all
of the uh all like a map. It's like I'm wearing a bare bell.
You can hear me coming. Herewe go just because I have a
plan. I mean, this isuh. I think it's what is what

(09:58):
is that pit? In which one? No? No, not that this
one here? What is that?Oh that's just a a mickey a mickey
pin stupid, there's a couple ofNo. It's good to have, especially
when you're you're limited in terms ofyour time and we are. It's good

(10:22):
to have brainstormed your course of attack. And like I've I've looked a lot
the maps even yesterday. Again thiswas off there, but we were.
We were talking about positioning for theparade and not spoiling the magic by being

(10:43):
too close to the start of theparade. Oh may I so Tyler who
again? I think it was afterthe gretzkiath time that he had mentioned the
rope drop and then the run intothe park and where he would like a
to take pictures. Where the wheredid he call it the money shot?

(11:05):
No, this is Disney. Comeon, hey, everybody make it.
Oh faith the He's like, ohno, no, no, but that's
like, that's that's the photo.That's the photo. No, no,
like where the parade is not thethree o'clock parade, the twelve o'clock I
had not seen yet if they willbe doing twelve o'clock parades at this point

(11:28):
of the season right eventually, ifthere is, Tyler was like, no,
even if we go this way andget an egg roll, I don't
want to. I don't want tobe there for the parade because that's where
it starts, and you get alittle bts behind the scenes where you just
see them walk out from essentially likea like a fence door, and that's

(11:52):
where it's it's not magic at thatpoint. Well, they was like,
yeah, and by the way,behind that fence door, make goofy and
Donald threw cigarettes on the ground andstomped on him. Ready, it's just
if they're telling you it's a festivalof fantasy, I want it to be
a festival of fantasy now before Imove on. In addition to the Tinkerbell

(12:16):
sweatshirt and two lanyards, which Idon't know why, we need so many?
Did you bring in any other clothing? I didn't want to cut the
fashion show short. No, thisis it. This is it, and
I'm not trying to sway anyone oneway or the other. The primary is
yesterday. This is not electioneering.This is imagineering. Oh I can't wait

(12:41):
meet a Disney cast member wearing apin trading lanyard or accessory. And I
did. I don't know where itis, but I did say off the
air, I am not going tothat where all the benches are, with
all the losers sorry, and theirpins, where they've taken over tables and
bend and park tables and everything elsewhere they're trade. They have tried to

(13:03):
crack down on that, right andI will as I throw one of their
blankets into Tianna's lagoon and tell themgo get it. Oh maybe we'll see
them testing the ride hold on.It just got hard down there, definitely.

(13:26):
Oh God, is he going tohave to really sort of temper his
language. I've seen videos people fightthere all the time. No, but
I mean he keeps he keeps sayinglike, you can't say that there.
You can't come on, It's Disney, you can't do that there. Oh
you mean Tyler, No you ohno, Tyler's going to be like that
no matter what. Yes, yes, oh hey look at that mommy box.

(13:48):
Hey hey, hey, hey.No, I am going to count
built in Arma diabetes trackers though.It's like when we used to count hooks.
But don't don't look at what they'reordering. That was for the XL
one O two chili cook off isin the track. Count all the devices

(14:11):
you want. Oh, here wego, but don't smile. Don't judge
people based on their food orders becausethis is their cheat week. I'm going

(14:31):
to count down the fourteen best bagsto bring. No, I'm not.
I told you I'm bringing one bagand it's gonna be it's already attached,
sweaty and hot. On the wayhome, Christy, can you turn yourself
off? Please? Oh that wasyou? I thought that was Chris.

(14:54):
Did you clear your throat? Kay? You all right? Diane? Yeah,
I'm so nervous. Christian, yeahyour name? Yeah, let's go.
What character was that? The didn'tsound like she was your voice?
Yes? Now, by the well, go ahead. I'm not even gonna

(15:31):
ask Tyler yaya turn his Mica off? No, I don't know. Oh

(15:52):
I'm the deciding vote. Now,there is a there there is, There
is a there is based on timing, based on what we could you're a
yes, I'm assuming, sir,I am based on based on several people's

(16:18):
schedules hours. Apparently we've built thiswhole promotion around the availability of Chad the
engineer from Atlanta. You want togo with somebody who's got, sorry,
Tyler, a lot of experience.Oh he is my liege. All right,

(16:45):
Mark your calendars Wednesday, April thefifth, April twenty twenty five.
Yeah, did I say you saidApril scrutched that? What? Wait?
A ruin area? Oh my god, you just do you see your Let's
save the medical events twenty five Jesusstart the tape over. Mark your calendars

(17:21):
Wednesday, June the fifth, Elliottin the morning is day tripping to Disney?
WHOA, I don't think that holdsup. Now, I'm definitely going

(17:56):
on week Rob Shake gains three weeksfrom today, yes, three short weeks
from today. Oh god, howmany buddies that we're gonna see. I'm
in just the same one. Ohsorry, Tyler, I'm ruining the song
in my heart. It's gonna beso awesome and three weeks lay. I've

(18:26):
been planning my return ship for twoyears. So yes, April April,
Elliots, what there's a commercial magicalplace on Earth? Well, you know
for Botox. That's the next adshould have been for o zempic. All

(18:47):
right, June the fifth, totell you the Morning's Day trip to Disney.
Am I c see you really soon? Now let me be very clear
about something, because people have beensending us notes. Yes, I am
not giving away any trips. Ifanybody is going to be there, awesome.

(19:11):
If anybody wants to go there,awesome, we are going. But
I am not number one paying attentionto any of the lyrics. Number two,
I'm we're not giving away. It'snot it's not. Hey, we're
going come with us, Please goif you want, But we're gonna go.

(19:36):
I'm not doing the show from there, So we are gonna be off
that day, which is a hugethorn in my butthole. Can't say that
in Disney. But yes, weare gonna go on Wednesday, June fifth.
It's Elliott in the Morning's Day Tripto Disney probably will also be one

(19:59):
of the bigger show fight we've had, like in Florida. Yes, you're
buying into the Taylor Swift Florence andMachine hype. It's the best. Oh
wait, hold on one second,Chad the engineer from Atlanta. Hey,

(20:21):
god, I'm so excited. I'vealready got my shirt and picked out too.
By the way, a couple ofthings, and Chad, please understand,
please understand. I love that we'regoing to see you there. But
I do want to say this isthe first time ever in my life that

(20:42):
I have had to build a promotionaround an engineer at a radio station we
got fired from. I have noidea. Now, Chad, you're gonna
be there right, yes, buthey, let me clear some things up

(21:04):
real quick. When you get in, you're going to go to the left,
and you're gonna get a spring roll, not a tang roll. They
don't serve. They sell spring roll. Hold on, Chad one, Tyler
zero. You don't want to doany parades because that's when everybody else is
not in line for the rhymes.So you ride all the rides while people

(21:25):
are watching the parade protest and thatstupid rope drop show is horrible. Oh
my god, you just killed Tyler. This is this is this is why
you need me two of the mustdos pick the right spot for the parade
because the parade, did you yesterdaycall it magical? Well, no,

(21:48):
that's the show. Let the magicbegin kicks off the day. The parade
is a festival fantasy, right.But there was something you said, we're
seeing that like everything come together islike like magic or something like that.
You referred to the parade very likeit's all magical. This is why I
prefer Disney. It's universal. Disneyhas this air of magic. Right,

(22:11):
But you were so and again Ihave I was essentially told Elliott, please,
if we go, can you payoff the spirit pilots, which,
by the way, we have toget tickets to go, that's the other
hindering problem. But the can youpay off the pilot to get us there
in time for the rope drop,which is very important because every time we'd

(22:33):
be like, well, well,I mean that's the other thing. We
don't have flights yet. So ifyou are going to be cool on booking
right now, like, let meget through the end of today for booking
reasons. But I feel like Tyleris upset because two of the things that
we're high on his must do listor Chad is now against I'm not going

(22:55):
to join you guys until after wemove resorts, so you'll could do that.
Say, look at your fancy withaccommodation. Oh you're staying the night,
I'm staying. I'm saying the week. But hey, look I gotta
run. But hey, I didmake us a reservation at Tony's town Square

(23:18):
for the end of the day.That way we can all grab a beer
or something before you take off andhead back. Okay, well you know
what, let me I'll get backto you because I need to make reservations
through the spirit to see when whenwe're doing that. But no, listen,
we're definitely hooking up while we're there. We better. It's the only

(23:40):
goddamn reason we're going that day isbecause of Chad. So dude, I
will. I'll see you in threeweeks. Sorry, Tyler, see you
real soon. All right, verygood? Are you going to do that?

(24:02):
By the way, the other day, here comes the rebuttal. Yeah,
well, because Jan goes a dozentimes a year. Of course,
he doesn't need to see the parade. You need to see the parade,
and you need to see the openingshow. He said. It sucks.
No it's short. It's short,but we we're going to see the parade.

(24:23):
That's your chance to see so manycharacters in a ten minute window of
time. It's quick. And ifyou can manage to avoid getting your foot
run over by a stroller or asyou yeah, mobility, Srascal, it's
it's worth it. It is.I'm sure Chad would also say, oh,

(24:45):
there's no need to go get afirst timer's button. We're doing it
for you guys. No, no, I want to blend in. Isn't
the first timer thing? Isn't don'tyou around essentially like with a billboard around
your chest that says hey they're hi, their ho there. Yeah, it's

(25:06):
huge, right, it is.It is a massive, massive button,
like the way I don't want tolie because I was there before Elliott.
However, that's true, Diane yearsand years ago doesn't remember a thing.
But yeah, okay, so we'llget we'll get the one. You are
saying you'll wear it, well,I have to wear it. I don't

(25:30):
have anything to put it in unlessI attach it to my bag. You'll
wear it because then, like theythey definitely treat you with sort of a
a V I P. Mentality whenyou're getting the character's autographs. Here's two
napkins for your screen roll. Areyou getting autographs for the kids? Oh?

(25:59):
You know it's funny. Did youchange your daughter's name to Tyler?
I can't believe we're doing it,and I'm sure a lot of the audience
feels the same way because that wasthe day. What time do I call
to win the trip? Oh?No, you don't, you don't.
That was a lot of a leadup, like there's no way he's taking

(26:22):
a day off. Now, I'llremind you and everyone listening, we are
working like this is going to bea lot of work to get this done,
starting with flight. So again,please don't you book until tomorrow.
I got a book today, butthere is no broadcast Wednesday, June fifth,
and maybe on Thursday, depending howspirit does I thought you said we're

(26:45):
going to drive, Yes, butif the incident happens when we're on the
plane, Oh that's true. Allright. Now I have to pick out
a blouse for the trip. It'shelloau shirt. Oh my god, Diane,

(27:07):
I can tell you this. WheneverI'm wearing, don't have sleeves.
I really want to match the flight, not so much the people at Disney's
and I got a super glues zenpacks to my arm. It's cute that
Chad thinks we're gonna have time tosit down at a restaurant. Do you
know the Tony's town Square on mainStreet, USA? Diane obviously fashioned after in

(27:36):
New York? No, I don'tknow. Lady in the tramp the you
dumb woman's right? Thank you?You have three weeks to bone up line
one? All right? Hi Elliotin the morning Ballian, Yes, hey,

(28:00):
this is Molly simply magical, Mallior Disney Traveling. I'm ready to
get through that. To Disney.I'm going to offer myself. I will
go with you as your own VIPtour the uh now again, that's very
kind of you. However, okay, okay, well number one, you'd
be taking away Tyler's job. Numbertwo, I still haven't booked like all

(28:22):
the flights and everything yet. WellI can book your tickets, that's super
simple. But you know what youguys really need to plan on doing is
if you can do a VIP tour, that's gonna be your best bet because
they're going to get you through allof the lines. You're gonna be able
to do everything you want to do, parade, backdoor exits, shows character

(28:45):
me and Greef. I mean,that's really going to be your best bet
as. Let me also be veryvery clear about one thing. I'm not
spending ten thousand dollars to travel downthere for what will essentially be a sip
of spray of beer off of Chad'sbreath. That's the extent of my drink

(29:08):
in that day. Part of thebit, and I shouldn't call it that.
Part of the stream is no GeniePlus, no lightning laying, none
of that stand by lines only.Oh my god, don't do that?
Well, Elliott committed do it?Yes? Wait, are you being serious?
You're really not going to do GENIplus? Correct? Oh, Tyler,

(29:33):
why would you do that? BecauseI did that with my family.
We're doing it like old school.You know, who's pleasant standing in a
four hour line? Two thumbs pointingat this guy. Yeah, I can
imagine. So what okay, howabout this? How about I remotely do
your Genie plus for you, andI can start stacking it so that you

(29:55):
hit the part you're just bam bambam and some ride the Let me let
me get organized, Let me getorganized by the way, Molly, aren't
you the one the like didn't Isee you online? You're a little mommy
box right, yes, yes,yes, that would be me. Yeah,
exactly, exactly. All right,very good. Listen, I haven't

(30:17):
put anything together. The one thingwe did talk about is we're just going.
Yeah, we're getting on a plane. Hold tight, Molly, We're
getting on a plane. We're goingand we're coming back. That's it.
We got to take the money shotat the whatever the statue is. Well,
that's how Diane is sounding. Thisare we when we get dropped off

(30:40):
by the uber uber or Lyft ormaybe we can like be in the mini
van with Lyft? Wait do theyis there? Disney doesn't run a shuttle.
No, are we are? Wegonna take the monorail from the transportation
center or the ferry. What's faster. That's that's the whole thing of the

(31:00):
day, the faster. They're bothabout to say, yeah, what have
you done? Both? No,I've done the monorail. Okay, is
there any is there? Is thereanything to see on the ferry? Well,
you get to go across the lagoon. But the monorail is also a
big part of Disney's history, aswell wait, the monorail ish, right,

(31:25):
so let's well, you know what, we can also play it by
year, because one thing that nobodybut I took into account is maybe we
take the ferry if it's not raining. I mean that'd be for us,
okay, because then being standby linedependent, we would need people who decide,
maybe let's do other things in Orlandotoday. Then is the monorail air

(31:51):
conditioned? Yeah? D okay,monorail? Hey, who smells like the
wet dog on the way back?As me? We took the fairy in
the ring. And may I correctsomething that you said? For this trip
and this trip alone or maybe yourfuture trips to Walt Disney World, we
will play it by ears Jesus esE and you're the e awesome Elliott June

(32:27):
fifth, Yes, our day tripto Disney. Oh my god, awesome.
Don't listen to that travel planner
