00:00:12.71
Trevor
Hey, you know, i was having so much fun talking with you before the show that I completely forgot why we were here, which was to do the, yeah, that we were here to actually do a podcast because we were having a great conversation about Homestar Runner before the show.

00:00:18.45
Welcome Home Podcast
Oh, that we were doing a podcast? Yeah.

00:00:24.86
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, we’re doing some nostalgia. Yeah.

00:00:26.46
Trevor
And I’ll just leave that there for anybody who knows what Homestar Runner is. And you can, yeah.

00:00:31.16
Welcome Home Podcast
and There’s got to, I mean, yeah.

00:00:31.43
Trevor
Don’t worry about it. it’s It’s an internet thing. It’s fine. Yeah.

00:00:33.85
Welcome Home Podcast
and You know, it’s, we were talking about this before the show cause we were kind of geeking out about it.

00:00:36.28
Trevor
and

00:00:38.01
Welcome Home Podcast
And it’s, it’s one of those things where it was like this, it’s 25 years old at this point, but there’s still like new things being done with it.

00:00:38.26
Trevor
m

00:00:43.86
Trevor
Yeah.

00:00:46.49
Welcome Home Podcast
And there’s, you know, I, I was a big fan of this web. This was like one of those, like, i don’t want to say it was early internet, but it was kind of early internet.

00:00:53.18
Trevor
It’s, it is early internet.

00:00:53.89
Welcome Home Podcast
Right.

00:00:54.86
Trevor
I would consider it like early, I mean like 2000, early 2000s internet had a very particular flavor to it.

00:00:54.91
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah.

00:01:00.82
Welcome Home Podcast
It did.

00:01:01.82
Trevor
Yeah.

00:01:02.36
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. And and i I mean, i don’t I don’t even know if like that at that point things were like, I mean, guess things were going viral, but this was not something that went, this was almost like it it’s like an inside joke that you found out about through friends.

00:01:09.40
Trevor
It was,

00:01:12.68
Welcome Home Podcast
You know what I mean? It was like,

00:01:13.34
Trevor
I mean, it it was it was a website.

00:01:14.49
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:01:15.50
Trevor
Yeah, it was a if you know, you know, kind of website.

00:01:18.33
Welcome Home Podcast
Yes.

00:01:18.90
Trevor
Like, yeah.

00:01:19.16
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, exactly. And I mean, I don’t know how many people we, cause it’s funny.

00:01:21.31
Trevor
Yeah.

00:01:23.80
Welcome Home Podcast
One of the things we were talking about before this was how many people actually even know what Homestar Runner was. um Yeah. And I have no idea. I mean, I i honestly don’t know. So that’s kind of funny.

00:01:34.20
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:01:34.52
Trevor
Yeah, to Tom and I were just having a fun conversation it because there is some stuff related to it coming to Walkabout Mini Golf, which Tom and I both play. And so we were we were going down that rabbit hole.

00:01:45.99
Trevor
But yeah, it was just funny that like we were I was like fully into it And i was like, oh, yeah, and we still have to do a podcast. I forgot.

00:01:50.81
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah yeah we still get We still got to do that. Yeah.

00:01:52.76
Trevor
Yeah.

00:01:53.09
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, I was actually doing some more trip planning today because I i don’t know when this happened, but I got like really bad at planning vacations.

00:01:54.07
Trevor
Yeah.

00:01:56.82
Trevor
Nice.

00:02:03.56
Welcome Home Podcast
like and ah Maybe it’s just I’m like tired from like work and everything else, and I just… i’m umm I’m just like, you know, I think my mom’s going to join us for a couple days, right? Because, you know, as you guys know, she lives right down the road.

00:02:14.71
Welcome Home Podcast
And, you know, i was just kind of trying to coordinate that all that in my head and figure out when she should come and everything. And then I was thinking to myself, you know, what? I don’t even know what parks we’re doing. What days for this trip?

00:02:25.54
Welcome Home Podcast
Like,

00:02:25.53
Trevor
Oh my goodness.

00:02:26.42
Welcome Home Podcast
we used to have it like so planned out where it was like, you know, we’re doing this park this day, we’re doing this park this day.

00:02:27.06
Trevor
Oh.

00:02:31.02
Welcome Home Podcast
And, and I just hadn’t, haven’t even thought about it. I mean, we booked some dining reservations, but for the most part of the dining reservations are outside of the parks and we plan on doing park hoppers anyway.

00:02:41.98
Welcome Home Podcast
So we just kind of were like, ah like we weren’t really,

00:02:44.98
Trevor
wherever you show up is where you show up.

00:02:46.71
Welcome Home Podcast
Kind of, yeah. Like, which i is weird and I don’t feel okay about it. Like, cause we, like I said, we used to have it so regimented and now way we kind of, i mean, we kind of have an idea of what we’re doing.

00:02:57.16
Welcome Home Podcast
I just kind of keep forgetting what, what exactly we’re doing. I guess i haven’t bought tickets yet. I kind of need to do that at some point, but not really. I mean, like, you know, you know, I don’t need to do it now.

00:03:04.02
Trevor
No.

00:03:05.08
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s not like they sell out, you know? So it’s,

00:03:07.74
Trevor
Yeah. and And I mean, I guess like the the only reason to really be on top of the like the ticket purchases is, you know, if you’re going at a time of year where like park attendance can reach capacity, you definitely want to like I know they don’t do like the park reservation things really anymore, but.

00:03:20.54
Welcome Home Podcast
But, i yeah.

00:03:23.63
Welcome Home Podcast
When’s the last time that even happened, though? Like…

00:03:25.85
Trevor
Yeah, I mean, usually it like around the holidays that usually they like hit capacity and like, yeah, like Magic Kingdom and stuff.

00:03:29.43
Welcome Home Podcast
Like the New Year’s is, like, the time. Yeah. Yes.

00:03:32.61
Trevor
But I mean, outside of that, the only other reason to purchase like way ahead of time or not way ahead time, but like a week ahead of time is um for booking lightning lanes because you can book the lightning lanes a little bit early.

00:03:42.14
Welcome Home Podcast
Yes.

00:03:43.76
Trevor
But again, to your point, like do you like. do you even need to is that it’s kind of a, honestly a good question to ask at this point is like, do do you really need to be planning that hard?

00:03:57.23
Trevor
Because like we all, we were used to doing it for so many years, but maybe it’s okay that you’re not. And maybe it’s just, you’re, you’re sitting in the uncomfortableness of like you, you used to do that and now it’s okay that you’re not doing that.

00:04:12.15
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:04:12.31
Trevor
Right.

00:04:12.51
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:04:12.63
Trevor
Like, yeah.

00:04:12.91
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. I don’t know. just feels weird.

00:04:15.77
Trevor
Yeah.

00:04:16.41
Welcome Home Podcast
i just, i don’t know. I just was so used to doing it one way and I just don’t do it, which is fine.

00:04:20.18
Trevor
I mean…

00:04:21.21
Welcome Home Podcast
Actually, I’m fine with it.

00:04:21.75
Trevor
Yeah…

00:04:22.45
Welcome Home Podcast
I don’t feel any anxiety about it. Right. Like I will figure it out. Like, you know, it was a bigger deal when you had to book the, the, you know, fast passes 60 days out, then you really had to think about it.

00:04:31.70
Trevor
yeah

00:04:33.76
Welcome Home Podcast
And I just don’t have to do that anymore. I can figure it out a week ahead of time and be good. You know? So it’s just like low on my priority list, I guess.

00:04:42.30
Trevor
Yeah, it’s ah kind of ah it’s a very interesting observation of just how things have changed at Disney.

00:04:46.91
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, they’ve really changed.

00:04:47.81
Trevor
And and and you know I agree with you. i’m I’m okay with it. Although there is a part of me that like i the fact that you don’t have like park days figured out, like i to me, I think that’s the extent that I would that i want to do parking or not parking, park hopping is ah is you know just knowing that knowing that at least I have a rough idea of where I’m going every day because uh or i guess if in my family if i say like what do you guys want to do today i get a lot of it especially like you know i have i have a teenage son you know where do you want to go oh like it’s you know yeah yeah it’s like and and then you know if if i if i pick then it’s like okay i guess it’s like well then tell me what you want right like so

00:05:26.87
Welcome Home Podcast
Oh. Oh. Oh.

00:05:36.98
Trevor
So i like I like the idea of like, okay, here’s what we’re doing. This is no longer a discussion. yeah you know you know the the This is happening and you’re going with it.

00:05:44.34
Welcome Home Podcast
you know

00:05:47.89
Trevor
and you And I guess, again, in my family, that works because i put it out to everybody for discussion. And then if I don’t get anything back, I say, okay, I made an executive decision.

00:05:57.02
Welcome Home Podcast
Now I’m making the decision, yeah.

00:05:58.04
Trevor
yeah Yeah, this is happening now. And if you don’t like it, you had your opportunity to speak up. So, yeah.

00:06:04.38
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah. ah Yeah, see, I am.

00:06:05.88
Trevor
So that’s only reason that I’m like, if I haven’t planned out days, I, I so like that to me feels like the gap that I’m missing.

00:06:12.50
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:06:13.25
Trevor
Right. yeah.

00:06:14.14
Welcome Home Podcast
I get that. I get that.

00:06:14.81
Trevor
Yeah.

00:06:15.26
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, that makes sense. All right. should we? Well, first of all, by the way, happy happy Father’s Day all the fathers out there.

00:06:19.64
Trevor
Yes.

00:06:21.94
Trevor
Yes.

00:06:22.50
Welcome Home Podcast
I don’t i don’t think we did.

00:06:22.87
Trevor
yes

00:06:23.50
Welcome Home Podcast
i don’t I think we probably neglected to do that for Mother’s Day. Maybe we did. I don’t remember.

00:06:27.29
Trevor
No, we we we did mention Mother’s Day.

00:06:28.28
Welcome Home Podcast
anyway Okay.

00:06:29.09
Trevor
We we did we didn’t we know’t wish all of our mothers a happy Mother’s Day.

00:06:29.50
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:06:32.13
Trevor
yeah, so same thing are to all the all the dads out there doing the Disney planning or or not, I guess.

00:06:37.46
Welcome Home Podcast
We’re not.

00:06:37.48
Trevor
you know yeah it’ yeah yeah yeah Yeah, every family is different.

00:06:37.74
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah If you’re just along for the ride, that’s okay, too. Okay.

00:06:42.48
Trevor
Sometimes it’s the mom doing all the planning. Sometimes it’s the dad. But yep yeah, if you if you’re just if you’re just there for the ah the smiles and the…

00:06:46.01
Welcome Home Podcast
if you If you’re the passenger prince, you know, just go with it, you know?

00:06:52.89
Trevor
the um you know, the Dole Whip, then that’s fine too. So, yeah.

00:06:57.72
Welcome Home Podcast
To be honest, though, if if if you’re not the planner, you’re probably not listening to this show. Like, that’s…

00:07:03.23
Trevor
No, no, no, that’s not true.

00:07:04.15
Welcome Home Podcast
You don’t think so?

00:07:04.75
Trevor
We, I, I, I believe we have a, we have a range of people that listen to the show.

00:07:04.95
Welcome Home Podcast
No? Okay. Yeah, okay.

00:07:08.39
Trevor
And I think, you know, I think people that aren’t planners that listen to the show, I think it’s, you know, it’s not that they’re looking for like super detailed nuance of things going on at Disney, but I’m sure it’s just of a general Disney interest.

00:07:20.67
Trevor
And, you know, I guess, Hey, for, for our listeners out there, you know, you know, share, share where you sit on that spectrum because, you know, I’d be curious to know.

00:07:21.43
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:07:28.95
Trevor
Yeah.

00:07:29.27
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. That’s interesting. ah Yeah.

00:07:31.43
Trevor
Yeah.

00:07:32.29
Welcome Home Podcast
So anyway, there’s like there’s a a couple DVC items today that we can talk about. In fact, the first the first whole half of the show, we’re going to talk about some DVC stuff.

00:07:37.65
Trevor
Yeah.

00:07:41.27
Welcome Home Podcast
um

00:07:41.34
Trevor
Yes, we are.

00:07:42.14
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. So ah this one’s a fairly quick one, though, Trevor, because what has been revealed, and they did this last year. at They’ve been doing this ats at the parties. um where if you’re going to do Mickey’s not so scary Halloween party this year on certain dates, which I don’t know why they just don’t do it all of the dates. It just seems kind of, you know, unnecessary to do it certain dates, but whatever. ah But on certain dates, if you go to the the Halloween party, you can stop by McKim’s Mile House over at Frontierland and get and members can get a special keepsake of some sort.

00:08:15.58
Welcome Home Podcast
and They haven’t said where the keepsake is going to be, ah but, you know,

00:08:19.80
Trevor
Hmm.

00:08:20.44
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. I mean, usually it’s like, I’m to remember what it was for Christmas.

00:08:21.91
Trevor
i I don’t remember what it was. Yeah.

00:08:26.87
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:08:27.01
Trevor
It wasn’t.

00:08:27.11
Welcome Home Podcast
like

00:08:27.30
Trevor
No, I know. We got a, so we got an ornament from the party, but not, not, not the DVC member specific thing.

00:08:32.02
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. We got one of those Yeah.

00:08:36.16
Trevor
I’m trying to remember. Yeah.

00:08:38.39
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah

00:08:38.46
Trevor
You have to go back and look at that. But, but yeah, again, yeah you know, the fact that they’re offering it, you know, they’re, they’re trying to give people a, you know, A little bit of extra incentive that, you know, if you’re going to the Halloween party, you get something special because you’re a DVC member, which, you know, that’s fine.

00:08:51.45
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, last year it was a it was a it was a party-themed tote bag.

00:08:56.46
Trevor
Oh, okay. So, yeah.

00:08:57.35
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, which is nice.

00:08:59.40
Trevor
Yeah.

00:08:59.64
Welcome Home Podcast
I like free stuff.

00:09:01.05
Trevor
Yeah. I mean, i’ll I’ll never say no to free stuff. So, yeah.

00:09:03.90
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, free stuff is always good. Yeah, so that’s a thing you can do if you’re going to be there.

00:09:05.71
Trevor
Mm-hmm.

00:09:07.58
Welcome Home Podcast
They haven’t said what the the keepsake is, and they also i don’t they said yeah the only on specific weekend or weekday nights, so they haven’t even said what dates it’s going to be there. It seems to be if you’re going to be at the party, go stop by McKim’s, see if they have it going on.

00:09:19.46
Welcome Home Podcast
right like That’s kind of

00:09:19.83
Trevor
Yeah, i I would go so far as, yeah, just, you know, maybe go and, you know, you know, have a conversation with the cast member there. You know, if you are there for the party, no don’t just like, you know, yeah if you’re not there for the party, don’t try and like get the the party swag, you know, but, but yeah, you know, I think, you know, during the party, you know, it’s fair to go and ask the question, right?

00:09:26.80
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:09:34.68
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah

00:09:39.99
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. Just ask, right?

00:09:40.99
Trevor
Yeah.

00:09:42.52
Welcome Home Podcast
So, yeah.

00:09:42.58
Trevor
So, i okay, I know you have these in order. I think we should talk about item C before we talk about item B.

00:09:50.04
Welcome Home Podcast
Okay. That’s fine. We can do that because item item B is is too cool to, yeah.

00:09:50.77
Trevor
Because I think, i yeah, bested yeah yeah we’re’rere we’re going to string this along for a minute because I’m sure people want to know about it.

00:09:54.28
Welcome Home Podcast
Okay.

00:09:59.09
Trevor
And we’re going to come back to that. So you have to wait.

00:10:00.44
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, because everyone knows what it’s going to be. Anybody that follows DVC News knows what we’re going to talk about.

00:10:03.54
Trevor
so So be patient and wait your turn. We are going to talk about the Saratoga Springs ah reimagined treehouse villas first.

00:10:09.32
Welcome Home Podcast
No. Yeah, the treehouse villas. Yeah, i have I’ve actually almost stayed here like several times. There’s always availability of the treehouse villas.

00:10:18.91
Trevor
Mm-hmm. They are beautiful. yeah You have to admit they are they are fantastic rooms.

00:10:21.73
Welcome Home Podcast
Gorgeous. Yeah. Yeah, I mean, and this refurbishment looks looks pretty great. I mean, these there’s got some amazing bunk beds in here, i mean which they had before, but they they look like they maybe updated them. um But see some of the enhancements, let’s see, what do they got here?

00:10:38.17
Welcome Home Podcast
I mean,

00:10:38.14
Trevor
Just a lot of little details and a lot of like, I i guess what I’m noticing about this is there there you know there’s a lot of wood finish, but they are giving ah a lot of like, there’s some good color that they’ve added to it as well.

00:10:52.04
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:10:52.97
Trevor
Like it doesn’t, I’ll admit I’ve stayed at, not not at Saratoga Springs, but I’ve stayed at rooms like this in like, um you know, in Banff and stuff like that in Alberta, because there’s lots of lodge type places you can stay.

00:11:06.17
Trevor
And a lot of them are like, love doing just like, here’s gray, right? Or like here’s here’s wood and gray.

00:11:10.45
Welcome Home Podcast
Here’s

00:11:12.06
Trevor
And I’m glad that Disney is not doing that.

00:11:14.15
Welcome Home Podcast
beige.

00:11:14.81
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah. Like, they I don’t know. It’s just like, cause it’s so easy to get everything in gray and, and, you know, I’ll of admit like, you know, I did like the flooring in my kitchen in gray because I didn’t want to deal with light or it was like, well, it it won’t show like marks and it’s, you know, it’s neutral.

00:11:19.58
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:11:28.86
Trevor
Right. And I get that, but it’s like, I want some color in my Disney resort.

00:11:29.46
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah.

00:11:34.54
Trevor
I want it to pop. I want it to, you know, feel nice. And they’ve definitely hit that with, uh, with these Renault’s.

00:11:40.92
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. I, I’ve, man, I’ve always wanted to stay here. Honestly, i think my biggest problem with the tree is, is not the tree houses is not what they look like. It’s where they’re located.

00:11:53.30
Trevor
I mean, yeah if you’re wanting that, the tree houses are definitely, that you’re wanting a quiet, um, a quiet getaway at Disney.

00:11:57.35
Welcome Home Podcast
secluded. Yeah.

00:12:01.86
Trevor
Yeah.

00:12:02.97
Welcome Home Podcast
For sure. it’s It’s just like it’s Saratoga is already challenging and challenging to me just because of the size and the bus situation is.

00:12:09.35
Trevor
Hmm.

00:12:10.97
Welcome Home Podcast
And then if you look at where like the tree houses are, it’s even like kind of further out than everything else, which is what you want, right?

00:12:16.19
Trevor
Hmm.

00:12:16.89
Welcome Home Podcast
Because you’re in you want to be kind in the woods and and and have that quiet. um But it’s just, I don’t know, the convenience of it. I will stay here someday. I am pretty confident of that. But it’s also, you know, it sleeps nine guests.

00:12:28.15
Welcome Home Podcast
So it’s one of those things where it’s got to be like a big family vacation kind of thing, you know?

00:12:33.18
Trevor
I think that’s debatable.

00:12:34.94
Welcome Home Podcast
You you did stay here with three people?

00:12:36.98
Trevor
Yeah, I would. Yeah, absolutely.

00:12:37.91
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, okay. Oh, well look at that.

00:12:38.59
Trevor
Yeah.

00:12:39.71
Welcome Home Podcast
you’re You’re digging this, huh?

00:12:41.14
Trevor
Yeah. And, and, and I’ll say this, yeah you know, I know what you’re talking about, like the, the location, everything, the way that I would handle booking these, these rooms is this would be like at the end of the trip where I have like, you know, you’re already tired and you just want to have, you know, a couple of days to just relax.

00:12:46.37
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:12:57.60
Trevor
And you’re like, you know, staying around the resort and maybe, and the nice thing is like Saratoga, it’s like, you’re going as far as like Disney Springs, right?

00:13:00.57
Welcome Home Podcast
Okay. Yeah.

00:13:04.12
Trevor
Like if I was just like Resort and Disney Springs, these would be perfect. Like I would, I would be absolutely digging these, these rooms.

00:13:09.18
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah,

00:13:13.08
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah. Yeah, I’ve always thought they looked really cool, and i just I’ve always wanted to to do it. ah But one of these days. But it’s it’s really, they really are.

00:13:24.12
Welcome Home Podcast
the The refurbishments that they’re doing are are really nice.

00:13:27.84
Trevor
Yeah. I like the, again, just talking about the details. I’m looking at all the pictures here. You know, I see there’s there’s some Gus Gus. ah There’s some, I guess that’s from, or the the pictures from ah Cinderella.

00:13:42.94
Trevor
But I for second thought that was actually Archimedes from Sword in the Stone.

00:13:43.15
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:13:48.57
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:13:49.14
Trevor
And the like the there’s all kinds of little little bits and pieces. like I love the… like um Is that supposed… or Again, the the gecko, is that supposed to be the little fire gecko from ah Frozen? Or is that…

00:14:05.34
Welcome Home Podcast
Is that or is that a Pascal?

00:14:07.64
Trevor
Yeah, or is that, yeah, it could be Pascal, could be, yeah, I mean, hard to tell, honestly, but but I guess that’s the interesting thing, is that yeah I’m sure that, you know, that it’s very deliberate, whatever they did, maybe.

00:14:18.87
Welcome Home Podcast
i think it’s the I think it’s the fire one from ah from Frozen.

00:14:19.31
Trevor
I’m i’m guessing it wrong. yeah i

00:14:22.07
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:14:22.36
Trevor
Yeah, and and then there’s, like, Fox and the Hound and stuff. Like, i I love that it’s, like, there is very clearly all these little nods to different IPs and stuff, but it’s not, or it’s, they’re there, and some of them are hidden, and, you know, you know it’s not,

00:14:35.10
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:14:37.90
Trevor
They’re not hitting you over the head with it, but it’s definitely feels like a Disney resort, right?

00:14:44.34
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:14:44.44
Trevor
Like, yeah.

00:14:46.06
Welcome Home Podcast
i’m just I’m just looking back at some like ah you know old pictures because i’m i’m trying to I’m trying to remember it because I’ve looked at pictures of this resort before, but I couldn’t remember what it looked like compared to what it looks like now.

00:14:52.22
Trevor
Hmm.

00:14:57.05
Welcome Home Podcast
And and and really, they brighten the wood up a lot. they bright Like you said, they brighten the colors up because the wood before was kind of a darker wood and it was a lot more rustic, you know?

00:15:00.20
Trevor
Hmm.

00:15:05.50
Trevor
yeah it Yeah, it was, yeah. yeah yeah Yeah, you’re right, actually. even Yeah, the wood color that they chose is definitely a lot brighter.

00:15:13.54
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s a lot brighter. Yeah, they they definitely did a stained it ah a much brighter color um and, you know, really brightened up these.

00:15:14.62
Trevor
Yeah.

00:15:20.62
Welcome Home Podcast
I feel like they just kind of like modernize them, you know, is as opposed to having like this kind of like real wood kind of look that they they had before.

00:15:23.38
Trevor
Mm-hmm.

00:15:28.34
Welcome Home Podcast
And what I mean by that is like, you know, the bunk beds made out of like looks like it’s made out of like sticks, you know, like now they have ah it’s much more modern.

00:15:35.93
Trevor
Yeah, yeah it’s that this looks this is like cut lumber versus like thrown together lumber.

00:15:36.09
Welcome Home Podcast
Let’s let’s say. that

00:15:41.16
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. but But it still looks really like natural and nice furniture. It’s it’s just not as like um cartoony, maybe.

00:15:46.36
Trevor
yes

00:15:50.30
Trevor
Yeah, yeah yeah yeah that that that’s exactly it.

00:15:51.10
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:15:54.10
Trevor
It’s you know you know it’s trying trying to do a caricature of like a rustic lodge versus like a modern rustic lodge.

00:16:01.56
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah yeah

00:16:02.20
Trevor
And and like I said, my um obviously my point of reference is living near the Rocky mountains there. I’ve for years, I’ve been going to places that look like this without all the Disney accents.

00:16:13.72
Trevor
And this is looking like those kinds of, of resorts that I’ve stayed in.

00:16:14.04
Welcome Home Podcast

00:18:36.47
Trevor
And yeah.

00:18:36.79
Welcome Home Podcast
I have noticed a they Disney’s always done this, but I feel like they’ve been doing it more lately where they have been. The commercials have very much been like, your kid is only this age for this long.

00:18:49.66
Welcome Home Podcast
You know, come here now kind of thing.

00:18:49.78
Trevor
I mean, yeah, that’s,

00:18:51.30
Welcome Home Podcast
And that’s like, because that’s like all the commercials now is like your kid’s going to grow up, get to Disney now before they do.

00:18:56.98
Trevor
don’t don’t Don’t miss out.

00:18:58.36
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:18:58.58
Trevor
Don’t miss out. Yeah.

00:18:59.48

00:18:59.78
Trevor
It’s, you it is. Yeah.

00:19:01.32
Welcome Home Podcast
And I think we all like feel that way, you know, and it’s, yeah, it’s just a effective.

00:19:01.94
Trevor
Yeah.

00:19:06.74
Trevor
I’m, I’m on the tail end of that where I, like, I look at, you know, I’m, I have, I still have trips I want to do with my son, but it’s also like, he’s an adult and I’m looking him going like, oh like it’s different.

00:19:19.58
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:19:21.15
Trevor
Like, like I remember the, the 10 year old version of him, but also I’m happy that I have, the, you know, 18 year old version of him in front of me, but it’s like, I wish I could have had more time with the 10 year old version.

00:19:35.51
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

00:19:35.91
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah.

00:19:37.51
Welcome Home Podcast
Exactly. Trust me. I think about that all the time because I like, you know, whenever we’re doing trips like this, I’m like, I’m like, yeah, you know, it’s, it’s all this money and stuff like that. But I’m like, I’m going I want to do these things now, you know, and, and i I hope that she will enjoy them when she’s older, but I don’t know if she will, you know, and she might not.

00:19:50.14
Trevor
Yep. That’s.

00:19:53.78
Trevor
ah I mean, my my son says it all the time is, you know, he, he acknowledges the fact that, you know, what we’ve gotten to do because of, you know, you know, DVC and all that.

00:20:04.85
Trevor
um He knows that it’s special. He knows that like none of his friends have gotten to do that. And he sees where, you know, we, we, we got to take them in to do things that, um you know, for, you know, ah for me also was, you know, living vicariously through,

00:20:19.64
Trevor
you know, stuff I, I didn’t get to do as a child. You know, I, I wish I could have gone to Disney every year when I was a child, even, and not to fault my parents, you know, they, they were working with what they got and we we’re lucky we got to Disneyland as many times as we did when I was growing up.

00:20:30.94
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:20:35.19
Trevor
But, you know, my son, you know, getting to take my son and do that, I’m super grateful for it. And it’s, but at the same time, it’s also sad because you wish you could just do it forever and you can’t.

00:20:47.16
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, of course.

00:20:47.52
Trevor
So, yeah.

00:20:48.59
Welcome Home Podcast
Now we’re getting all in our fields in this episode.

00:20:49.88
Trevor
I know. Well, yeah yeah. Well, okay. You can blame that on the Fox and the Hound in the, uh, the Saratoga Springs.

00:20:53.24
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Well, just to bring it back together though, there there’s, there’s a picture here and it’s kind of hard to see.

00:20:56.20
Trevor
so Yeah.

00:21:00.49
Welcome Home Podcast
And I didn’t notice it the first time I looked at it, but there’s, there’s like a bunch of square pictures in the kitchen on the, uh, above like the, uh, where the microwave is and everything. And I didn’t, I didn’t really think anything of it, but I’m looking at it.

00:21:09.11
Trevor
Oh yeah. Yeah. Um,

00:21:12.14
Welcome Home Podcast
The one all the way to the right is spike the bee.

00:21:14.42
Trevor
yeah, that’s yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

00:21:15.80
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, I totally missed it when I first saw it.

00:21:15.98
Trevor
I saw that, but, uh, yeah.

00:21:18.72
Welcome Home Podcast
And actually, the middle one almost looks figment-y kind of somehow. I don’t know what it is.

00:21:23.54
Trevor
I can’t ah can’t make it any bigger, unfortunately.

00:21:24.41
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. it looks almost ah It looks like a lightning bug. but for it I know it’s not figment. it ah It almost looks like a lightning bug, but I can’t tell. And then i get all the way to the left looks like an ant.

00:21:35.94
Welcome Home Podcast
And maybe it’s the, ah what what was the ant’s name from ah um Bug’s Life?

00:21:39.96
Trevor
Flick?

00:21:40.87
Welcome Home Podcast
Why am I forgetting his name? Oh, my gosh.

00:21:42.39
Trevor
Flick. It’s Flick, right? Yeah.

00:21:45.29
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s Flick. Yeah, that’s it. Yeah.

00:21:46.29
Trevor
Yeah.

00:21:46.65
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. So is that him all the way to the left? I don’t know. kind of looks like it. It’s hard to tell, though, in these pictures.

00:21:51.74
Trevor
Yeah.

00:21:52.05
Welcome Home Podcast
It really is. So I don’t know. I like all the little the little references here, though.

00:21:55.11
Trevor
there’s

00:21:56.56
Welcome Home Podcast
it’s this is ah This is great. Every time I think of Fox and the Hound, too, I also i don’t know why this makes me… that Maybe it’s the same error. I always think of… ah Do you remember the movie Homeward Bound? Oh, my gosh.

00:22:06.23
Trevor
Oh, yes. Yeah.

00:22:06.74
Welcome Home Podcast
That one.

00:22:07.74
Trevor
Yeah.

00:22:08.06
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:22:08.79
Trevor
I think Homer bound was, i want to say that was, it was either seventies or eighties. And I think Fox and the hound was, was it?

00:22:15.77
Welcome Home Podcast
No, Homeward Bound was 93, man. That was 93.

00:22:18.19
Trevor
i thought, ah okay, maybe it was,

00:22:18.49
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. That was, that was, uh,

00:22:21.92
Trevor
And I’m thinking of something else then that there was a, they did a few of maybe, yeah, maybe that.

00:22:26.01
Welcome Home Podcast
I think in Milo and Otis, which was in the eighties.

00:22:29.56
Trevor
Cause there, there was a few of those animal, like animal adventure movies, right.

00:22:34.65
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, that was like a whole thing in like the mid eighties to like the early nineties was like those animal talking animal movies.

00:22:35.45
Trevor
Where it was like, yeah.

00:22:39.03
Trevor
Yeah. So yeah.

00:22:42.49
Welcome Home Podcast
Right.

00:22:42.49
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah. Where the animals are like actually narrating whatever they’re doing.

00:22:45.91
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:22:46.41
Trevor
Yeah.

00:22:46.86
Welcome Home Podcast
was Milo and Otis, Homeward Bound. there was Beethoven was big during that time.

00:22:49.02
Trevor
Hmm. Yeah.

00:22:51.06
Welcome Home Podcast
um Yeah.

00:22:51.64
Trevor
I think I might’ve been thinking Milo and Otis. So, yeah.

00:22:55.19
Welcome Home Podcast
my funny Funny story.

00:22:55.85
Trevor
Right.

00:22:56.97
Welcome Home Podcast
A friend of mine named their kids that, not knowing about the movie.

00:23:00.93
Trevor
Mm-hmm.

00:23:03.45
Welcome Home Podcast
They named each one of their kids separately Milo and Otis.

00:23:05.11
Trevor
Ooh. Do they get that question all the time or?

00:23:08.44
Welcome Home Podcast
Oh yeah. Yeah. well it’s No, I literally, some, one of our friends brought it up.

00:23:09.34
Trevor
Of course. Nope.

00:23:11.96
Welcome Home Podcast
was like, Oh, is it because you guys love that movie? They’re like, what movie? it’s like It was really funny.

00:23:17.82
Trevor
i mean I mean, to be fair, I would also, if I made a decision like that where I’m like, I’m naming like my dogs after like a reference or whatever, i would probably do the same thing where someone’s like, oh, you must really love this. And I’d be like i don’t know what you’re talking about.

00:23:31.51
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah Yeah, that’s true.

00:23:31.93
Trevor
i just Just mess with people.

00:23:33.43
Welcome Home Podcast
that’s sure To be fair, yeah they only named one of their kids the one of one of those names, not not both.

00:23:35.14
Trevor
Yeah.

00:23:38.95
Welcome Home Podcast
I should take that back. I should clarify. But it was still funny because we were like, oh, where did that name come from? Milo and Otis? And they were like, what is that? Yeah.

00:23:45.80
Trevor
Yeah. I mean, yeah, i I know of people that have named their kids Otis in recent history too. So yeah, it’s.

00:23:52.57
Welcome Home Podcast
I remember watching that this is going to be a really dated reference just because it doesn’t really happen anymore. But I, i when I had chickenpox, I, you know, this is is I had chickenpox and I was, my best friend had chickenpox and we were watching Milo notice.

00:24:00.89
Trevor
Yeah.

00:24:04.51
Welcome Home Podcast
That’s just kind of a funny thing. um Back before you could have vaccines for these things. But anyway, anyway.

00:24:09.31
Trevor
Yeah.

00:24:11.55
Welcome Home Podcast
ah Yeah. So I, I don’t know. This looks good.

00:24:13.43
Trevor
so Saratoga Springs is bringing up a lot of interesting stuff.

00:24:13.72
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s bringing up some, some feels for us. I feel like, you know,

00:24:19.12
Trevor
Yeah. But, but again, I, I think that just honestly really speaks to like the the, the thought that they put into this, to these refurbs is it’s clearly there.

00:24:28.06
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:24:29.55
Trevor
It’s not like, i know, you know, at at various points you’ve kind of have gotten on, you know, Disney’s choices with modernizing some of these places. And sometimes it’s like, it’s hard to find that balance, right.

00:24:40.26
Trevor
Where it’s like, either it it becomes like too sterile and boring or they go over the top too much. And it feels too like, like I said earlier, like a caricature of what it should be.

00:24:51.51
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah

00:24:51.61
Trevor
But this, this hits that right balance. Like it’s, it’s got the flair, it’s got the Disney stuff going on, but it also is just honestly a nice hotel to stay in.

00:25:01.91
Trevor
Like it’s yeah.

00:25:02.88
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. It looks great. I will definitely consider this one, although not going to lie, Trevor, I can’t stop talking.

00:25:05.16
Trevor
Yeah.

00:25:09.78
Welcome Home Podcast
ah Every time I see something new about this next one, I can’t can’t avoid it.

Trevor

Welcome Home Podcast
And yeah, let’s let’s do it.

00:25:15.35
Trevor
Okay, here we go. all right.

00:25:17.12
Welcome Home Podcast

00:25:23.93
Welcome Home Podcast

This is going to be the, this is, I don’t think it’s, it’s even, you know, exaggerating to say that this is going to be the best Disney resort pool, like easily. Right.

00:25:38.33
Trevor
Yeah, i mean I mean, this is… oh my gosh. it Like, it’s hitting so many…

00:25:44.04
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s very cool.

00:25:44.86
Trevor
things So, so what it I’m trying to, okay, so it’s called the wetlands, right?

00:25:48.70
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:25:50.42
Trevor
So, so the, the entire complex that is the, the swimming pool area is called the wetlands.

00:25:50.52
Welcome Home Podcast
Yep.

00:25:56.57
Trevor
it has it It’s giving a little bit of honey. I shrunk the kids playground.

00:26:01.01
Welcome Home Podcast
Kind of. Yeah. Yeah.

00:26:01.98
Trevor
ah Like with with the you know the the the giant um reeds and you know you know all that with the lazy river going around, there’s like giant sculptures of animals. And it it looks the the funny thing is is that it it looks like nature or or it looks like you’re at a lake.

00:26:23.13
Trevor
But obviously you’re not, you’re in it you’re in a Disney resort, but they are treating it very much. like It’s giving the vibes of like when you went to the lake as a as a kid, right?

00:26:33.37
Trevor
Like I’m feeling that.

00:26:33.94
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. it it Yeah. So the funny, the interesting thing is that they, they theme the pool area to Pocahontas specifically from a one lyric within colors of the wind, the heron and the otter are my friends.

00:26:49.59
Welcome Home Podcast
And then they said they’ve got otters, they’ve got herons and and it’s it’s the area.

00:26:50.14
Trevor
Yep.

00:26:54.51
Welcome Home Podcast
There’s that whole area called Heron Shores, which will um it’s going to.

00:26:57.00
Trevor
Yep. And Otter Springs.

00:26:59.67
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. And Otter Springs. And so you’ll have a says exploration exploration and hands on play with imaginative climbing features. While just around the river bend, Otter Springs comes to life with interactive water features where little ones cool as they splash and slide. So there’s like giant otter sculptures and the, the one of them is just shooting water out of its mouth and looks like ears too. And then the other one is the water slide for the kids, the kids area. And then there’s just this really cool splash pad area that has like, uh, like these, these fake like reeds around it. And it’s really cool.

00:27:33.78
Trevor
I have never.

00:27:34.00
Welcome Home Podcast
Cottontails. They’re cottontails, right? Yeah.

00:27:35.61
Trevor
Yes. Yeah.

00:27:36.65
Welcome Home Podcast
Good.

00:27:36.66
Trevor
I have never been so jealous of a kid’s splash pad area.

00:27:41.74
Welcome Home Podcast
I’m going in there. Unless they kick me out.

00:27:43.26
Trevor
Well, you, you, okay.

00:27:43.66
Welcome Home Podcast
um

00:27:44.62
Trevor
You can, i I can’t do that. It’s, it’s, yeah I, yeah, no, I,

00:27:48.38
Welcome Home Podcast
You can. just just It’s fine. Just just bring just like just like pretend like you’re talking to one of the kids. you know just Not a specific one.

00:27:57.18
Trevor
Yeah, no, no, no.

00:27:58.76
Welcome Home Podcast
You’re just like, Johnny. don Johnny over there.

00:28:01.59
Trevor
no we’re We’re not doing that.

00:28:02.94
Welcome Home Podcast
No. No, you’re fine.

00:28:04.89
Trevor
that’s That’s how you get yourself kicked out of the area.

00:28:05.46
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s fine. No. Also, but just going back, though, too, there’s like over the lazy river, there’s like this bridge that kids can run across.

00:28:11.05
Trevor
Yeah.

00:28:14.01
Welcome Home Podcast
And it looks like these are like almost like water playgrounds.

00:28:15.03
Trevor
I mean…

00:28:16.53
Welcome Home Podcast
Like, is that.

00:28:17.14
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah. it It looks like there’s like a larger playground structure. And then, yeah like like you said, it just goes right over top of the the lazy river, which again, aptly named daydream river.

00:28:28.90
Trevor
Like I’m ah looking at this, like I, I’m just imagining how many laps I could do in this lazy river.

00:28:35.96
Welcome Home Podcast
So many, so many.

00:28:36.31
Trevor
It’s, it’s so good.

00:28:37.32
Welcome Home Podcast
You could fall asleep there and just…

00:28:39.16
Trevor
and and And then wake up and it’s like, oh there’s, I’m just in like the, you know,

00:28:42.41
Welcome Home Podcast
What happened to the day? Yeah.

00:28:43.87
Trevor
yeah’s So, you know, that there goes the cottontails and, you know, yeah, it’s,

00:28:47.03
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah

00:28:48.09
Trevor
It’s yeah. And then, and then, I mean, we, you know, you know, we’re talking about like the, those areas, I mean, the pool itself also, like it it doesn’t look over the top for, for as far as a pool goes, but again, with the, the, the concept art, you know, it’s another zero entry pool, which I think, you know, most of the deluxe resorts have.

00:29:07.54
Welcome Home Podcast
I think they only do zero entry now.

00:29:09.18
Trevor
Yeah. Which again, totally makes sense because it’s, you know, it’s, it’s a very family friendly thing. um But you know, it has, so it has like the standard, Features.

00:29:18.10
Welcome Home Podcast
Looping waterslide. Yeah.

00:29:19.13
Trevor
Yeah. You know, the usual, they have a water slide. It looks like there’s a nice bar or something there that, uh, that.

00:29:25.88
Welcome Home Podcast
Like a little outdoor restaurant almost like they have a wilderness lodge.

00:29:27.29
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah.

00:29:30.04
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:29:30.10
Trevor
Yeah. And it’s, uh, yeah, there’s, there’s just so many things to this that it’s like, the the the crazy thing is, is, you know, we, we’ve talked about how,

00:29:42.42
Trevor
you know, you know, there needs to be more pool features like this, that like this, you can spend, you can spend days in a, in a pool area like this, which is interesting because it does, it does pose a challenge, I guess, to Disney. You know, they don’t want to make it too good because they don’t want people, you know, hanging out at the resort all the time and not going to the parks. Yeah.

00:30:07.03
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, that’s true.

00:30:07.42
Trevor
But at the same time, it’s like, I mean, like I kind of want to do that.

00:30:07.83
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:30:11.73
Trevor
But also, i wouldn’t like i I wouldn’t want to go there and just go for this resort. But I do. like it’s it’s It’s a very interesting position that Disney’s put themselves in with this.

00:30:20.25
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:30:26.22
Trevor
The other interesting thing, too, is because of this opening up, this is going to take some pressure off of um a Beach Club.

00:30:35.83
Welcome Home Podcast
Oh, yeah.

00:30:35.80
Trevor
Right.

00:30:36.27
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, maybe.

00:30:36.41
Trevor
Because, because, you know, beach, you know, a lot of people were, yeah you know, after beach club, because it’s a very, it is a unique resort has similar features to this.

00:30:36.87
Welcome Home Podcast
Maybe.

00:30:45.90
Trevor
um You know, I think the one thing that’s different is you know they have like the, the, the sand bottom pool, which I understand why they wouldn’t do that here. It’s like sand bottom pools are very hard to maintain and all that, but this is going to be rivaling beach club for like best pool on property or best, best water.

00:30:53.27
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah.

00:31:03.38
Welcome Home Podcast
I think this if it if it’s like the concept art, it already wins to me.

00:31:04.98
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah, it does. I mean, it’s 100% it does. And like I said, it’s a very interesting thing that that, you know, Disney’s setting a new precedent for themselves here that, you know, the next one they do after it has, or I should say it has to be just as good, but it’s going to be disappointing if it’s not.

00:31:26.52
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, that’s that’s true.

00:31:27.50
Trevor
So…

00:31:28.80
Welcome Home Podcast
i You know, one of the other things it says in here, Trevor, too, is it says ah at the heart of the wetlands will be Lakeside Lagoon, and that’s the zero entry pool you talked about with the water slide. But then it said tucked away on the opposite side of the resort is Perspective Pond, which will be home to a leisure pool and whirlpool spa perfectly positioned for views of Magic Kingdom fireworks in the evenings.

00:31:49.11
Welcome Home Podcast
So is that the…

00:31:49.30
Trevor
So that was, that was where we talked about is the, like what we thought was going to be the DVC side.

00:31:51.83
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah.

00:31:53.98
Trevor
So that’s the the second poll.

00:31:54.26
Welcome Home Podcast
Yes. Is that what they’re talking about or is there an okay?

00:31:56.79
Trevor
I think so.

00:31:58.16
Welcome Home Podcast
Cause I’m wondering if that’s, that was my first thought to Trevor. was like, okay, well it’s that other pool that’s on the other side that we thought was going to be the DVC side. But I also, it said like when it says like the opposite side of the resource, so I guess, yeah, that would make sense.

00:32:13.94
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s not like the opposite side of the pool.

00:32:13.94
Trevor
and And again, thinking, yeah and also thinking about the positioning of the resort, you know, looking at the maps and everything, where where this whole area is, um or you know, with the Lazy River and everything, the view towards Magic Kingdom is blocked by the one the one side of the building.

00:32:15.38
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s the opposite side the resort. Right.

00:32:21.82
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:32:33.13
Trevor
so so So it’s not going to have a view, but then like you said, you know, if you go to the other side of that, you have you have an alcove that is going to be looking towards Magic Kingdom.

00:32:34.04
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah

00:32:44.22
Welcome Home Podcast
Which is going to be a popular thing at night for sure. Like night swimming is going to be a big thing at this resort because people are going to go into this pool specifically to watch the fireworks from there. Like that’s going to become a thing.

00:32:53.30
Trevor
Yeah. Which, which that’s the funny thing about that is, you know, if people are going to watch the fireworks, that’s actually a great time to be in the main pool as well, because it’ll be less busy and you can, in you know, you know, you’ll have, you know, a quieter experience in the main pool.

00:33:01.72
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah.

00:33:08.02
Trevor
So again, they’re posing a lot of difficult choices here, but because like, like this is, this is the best case scenario for Disney, a resort like this, because they’re making people have to choose

00:33:08.38
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah.

00:33:13.98
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:33:21.11
Trevor
between like all these wonderful features of this new resort. Plus you’re in the middle of you know, Disney world at large.

00:33:30.49
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah

00:33:31.06
Trevor
And,

00:33:32.34
Welcome Home Podcast
This is how they keep you coming back, man.

00:33:33.82
Trevor
ah and this is how I convinced myself that I need enough points to stay there for two weeks instead of one week going forward.

00:33:33.90
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:33:39.74
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. That’s exactly, that’s what happens. Yeah.

00:33:42.70
Trevor
Yeah.

00:33:43.06
Welcome Home Podcast
that’s That’s how they do it, man.

00:33:43.32
Trevor
Yeah.

00:33:44.18
Welcome Home Podcast
That’s how they get you.

00:33:44.60
Trevor
Yeah.

00:33:44.87
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. I, I, I,

00:33:45.78
Trevor
I, I, I’m, I’m not mad. I’ll, I am not mad at all. Like it’s,

00:33:49.82
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah

00:33:50.54
Trevor
It’s really good. I’m i’m excited.

00:33:52.82
Welcome Home Podcast
I am so excited for this. I cannot wait to stay here. This will be once this opens, this will be my next resort stay for sure. i I did notice another thing in this article, Trevor. It says, as guests make their way along a scenic path through the recreation area, they’ll uncover fun facts about the local flora and fauna that surrounds them. Keep an eye out for a special plaque that honors a beloved historic attraction that once stood in this very spot.

00:34:17.62
Welcome Home Podcast
Clearly that’s referring to River Country.

00:34:17.66
Trevor
Oh, there’ll be a river country. Yeah.

00:34:19.54
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. um So that’s, that’s nice that they’re going to honor it. I assume there’s also going to be more than just that. They tend to put Easter eggs for things like this, you know?

00:34:31.00
Welcome Home Podcast
So I assume there’s going to be River Country Easter eggs kind of spread around because this entire spot is on where River Country was. And so, you know, you know that there’s, I feel like a plaque is just probably not the end of what they’re to you know?

00:34:39.03
Trevor
h

00:34:45.37
Trevor
I feel like there’ there’s opportunity to talk about river country stuff. And then also Discovery Island is nearby as well.

00:34:51.40
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s true. Yeah.

00:34:52.28
Trevor
which, you know you know, it’s a good way for them to kind of talk about, like you said, some some of the history of what’s been in that area and and, you know, how things have evolved at Disney World over time.

00:35:03.70
Trevor
And I would bet, like you said, there there’ll be a plaque in the area. i wouldn’t be surprised if you find more tidbits like throughout the hotel because, yeah, they they love doing that too, where it’s like as you’re exploring the hotel, you’ll find different things, right?

00:35:18.07
Trevor
Like like not not just local to where where the pool area is.

00:35:18.26
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:35:23.03
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s interesting too that we haven’t we haven’t seen a whole lot. I mean, there was concept art that came out. not i don’t think it came out. I think it like leaked out ah for the original reflections of the inside of the resort, right?

00:35:35.98
Welcome Home Podcast
Like the rooms and everything.

00:35:36.48
Trevor
Yeah. I,

00:35:36.94
Welcome Home Podcast
we We really haven’t seen much of that from Disney officially yet.

00:35:37.43
Trevor
yeah

00:35:40.94
Welcome Home Podcast
So I think that’s probably the next place they’re going to go Everyone’s talking about the pool, but next we’re going to be talking about the lobby and stuff like that, right?

00:35:42.10
Trevor
i

00:35:48.63
Trevor
Oh, guaranteed. But I, you know, if you think about it from a timing standpoint, you know, we just finished talking a bunch about Saratoga Springs. Disney doesn’t want to take the spotlight away from various projects that they’re doing. So I’m sure that it was a very deliberate thing that, you know, we’re talking about the pool here, but not any of the other features of the resort because yeah, they’ll trickle that out over time. And, you know, if they released a bunch of stuff about,

00:36:13.37
Trevor
you know, the lobby and and the rooms and everything alongside the Saratoga Springs refurb, that just takes away from the Saratoga Springs refurb.

00:36:21.46
Welcome Home Podcast
It does. Yeah.

00:36:21.88
Trevor
So, yeah.

00:36:22.55
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah This, that stuff’s going to come out. I mean, but if I’m assuming that’s, it seems like they’ve kept pretty much the same plans from reflections. I mean, and made some changes.

00:36:30.87
Trevor
For the most part, I i think that the the room interiors, I can see them, you know, they probably will want to modernize that and I’m sure there’ll be changes to it.

00:36:31.80
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:36:40.27
Trevor
I don’t know that it’ll be like,

00:36:40.95
Welcome Home Podcast
Well, no, the original art was very modern actually. So the original that came out was very, very modern.

00:36:44.34
Trevor
yeah but But that’s still modern as of like four years ago, i guess is the thing.

00:36:48.89
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. It was, yeah.

00:36:49.81
Trevor
so So there’s still room for them to, you know, and you know i’ll I’ll point out that, you know, to that point of four years ago, everything was a lot of, you know, you know, grays and, yeah you know, modern modern design was…

00:37:03.70
Trevor
kind of flat and I I feel and maybe this is just me I feel like there was a period there where everybody was like let’s just do everything in neutral colors because then it can be whatever you want to be and I feel like people are kind of realizing that you know hey no you actually gotta like put some color into what you’re designing so I i feel like Disney is starting to do that but

00:37:04.18
Welcome Home Podcast
Listen, I… yeah

00:37:26.23
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, I mean, this I remember seeing this concept art back in, 2019. Oh, twenty nineteen God, it’s been that long since they’ve been talking about this.

00:37:34.61
Trevor
Yep. See my point? Yep. that This is exactly what I’m talking about.

00:37:36.21
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah and i Yeah, but but it it it wasn’t like that, though.

00:37:38.06
Trevor
Yeah.

00:37:40.92
Welcome Home Podcast
I think it still is pretty modern, I would say, even for now.

00:37:49.59
Trevor
here yeah

00:37:50.87
Welcome Home Podcast
But yeah, I don’t know. We’re going to see it’s going look like because we really don’t know, right? And I remember a lot of people were, you know, criticizing the outside of reflections at the time, saying it looks like a dorm and all that stuff.

00:38:02.03
Welcome Home Podcast
But, you know, I, I, if I’m looking back at the old concept art that was out there for reflections, it’s very similar to what we’ve got going on now. So, which is fine.

00:38:10.78
Trevor
Yeah, it is.

00:38:11.70
Welcome Home Podcast
I liked, was excited about reflections, man.

00:38:11.87
Trevor
Yeah.

00:38:13.50
Welcome Home Podcast
I was bummed when it got delayed.

00:38:14.39
Trevor
I, I, you know, I’ll be honest saying it looks like a dorm. Like what, what are you expecting for a hotel?

00:38:18.78
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. i don’t people want Yeah.

00:38:19.61
Trevor
Like, like, like I don’t know how many other ways you can design a hotel.

00:38:23.96
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah Also, like, listen, concept art never does anything justice, right? Like it, it, it, it over exaggerates some things, but also downplays some things.

00:38:29.19
Trevor
True.

00:38:31.94
Welcome Home Podcast
Like if you look at like really closely at the, at the, uh, uh, concept art, like, you know, some of these, there’s some walls that just look green, but then look closer. There’s all kinds of art on this, right?

00:38:42.98
Welcome Home Podcast
Like, or there’s, there’s trees that are painted.

00:38:43.48
Trevor
Mm-hmm.

00:38:44.74
Welcome Home Podcast
Like, It’s from far away without looking at the details. it it It looks way different than if you get a closer look. These are you know just more difficult to see. And and when you go…

00:38:55.42
Welcome Home Podcast
i Listen, there’s you can look at all the pictures in the world you want of Wilderness Lodge or of… Animal Kingdom Lodge. But when you walk into that lobby, the pictures don’t do the judgment.

00:39:06.91
Welcome Home Podcast
Right. Like we used to. mean I mean, don’t don’t do justice. Right. Because it’s ah we would just sit sometimes when we’d stay at Wilderness Lodge and just watch people walk in for the first time and you just see them look up and go, whoa, like because it’s it’s it’s ah it’s pretty awe inspiring when you do it, you know.

00:39:19.67
Trevor
Yeah.

00:39:25.69
Welcome Home Podcast
And that’s like, I, it’s really kind of fun to watch that. So I, I feel like, uh, you know, pictures don’t do everything justice and especially concept art where things can change. But listen, if this pool ends up looking anything like the pictures, it’s going to be so awesome.

00:39:40.89
Trevor
Yeah. It’s already sizing itself up to be, you know, you know, head heads and shoulders above every other resort pool at this point, which I mean, that’s a bit of a problem.

00:39:49.34
Welcome Home Podcast
I think so. Yeah.

00:39:51.98
Trevor
You know, it kind of feels like everyone else were kind of going like, really? Like, you know, you can’t make ours look a little bit nicer, but I also get to that. It’s like, you know, without like completely like stripping down and redoing entire sections of resort.

00:40:03.19
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:40:04.94
Trevor
Of course, you you know, yeah it’s, you know, you, you, you, you’re going to stay where you stay and you know, that’s it. And if you really want to stay at Lakeshore Lodge, you will stay at Lakeshore Lodge.

00:40:14.82
Welcome Home Podcast
Well.

00:40:14.87
Trevor
One thing to your point about like looking at the the concept art and like the little details, I wouldn’t be surprised if some of the walls that like you were talking about, like with the green and stuff, I wouldn’t be surprised if they do like maybe some living walls like they did at the ah the Polynesian.

00:40:29.47
Welcome Home Podcast
Oh, yeah, absolutely.

00:40:30.49
Trevor
Yeah, I can see that happening here, which would be, that that would be a nice touch.

00:40:31.10
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, I could see that.

00:40:34.57
Trevor
Like it is because, you know, living walls are, i find them incredibly fascinating because it’s not just like, oh yeah, it’s a bunch of plants, but it’s like,

00:40:34.90
Welcome Home Podcast
It would

00:40:43.73
Trevor
it’s actually very interesting how you have to like maintain a living wall. So, yeah.

00:40:49.40
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. And listen, if you need to sell 900 DVC rooms, you know if you need to sell a resort that has is the second largest resort you’ve ever built ah for DVC, you got to have some great amenities there, man.

00:41:03.90
Welcome Home Podcast
You got to have things you can sell people on.

00:41:04.27
Trevor
That’s

00:41:13.14
Welcome Home Podcast
That’s going to sell this resort really nicely. Yeah.

00:41:16.21
Trevor
I mean, again, just the concept art of the the people on the lazy river and seeing all the sculptures and everything. It’s like, yeah, immediately I was like, I want that.

00:41:25.99
Welcome Home Podcast
there’s There’s a guy, Trevor, in in in a red tube in the middle of the picture that just looks like he’s like about to take a nap, and that’s me right there.

00:41:27.29
Trevor
Yeah.

00:41:29.82
Trevor
Laying back. Yeah. who Oh, he’s no, he’s out.

00:41:37.15
Trevor
He’s out.

00:41:37.82
Welcome Home Podcast
the guy in the yellow tube, too, looks like he’s just like straight up passed out.

00:41:38.14
Trevor
Guaranteed. Yeah. Yeah. That’s. That’s me. That that was when when my brother and I were at Volcano Bay last year, which I know is not Disney, but it’s still the same thing um or same vibe.

00:41:49.31
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:41:50.99
Trevor
But i um there was a point where um i I was a little bit run down. My feet were killing me. I actually i bought some pool shoes, which I regret buying because they turned out to be really cheap and they actually ended up hurting my feet.

00:42:05.78
Welcome Home Podcast
Hurting your feet worse, yeah.

00:42:06.52
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah. But, and so I’d say my brother was like, well, I want to go hit, you know, you know, the drop slides. And I was like, you do you, I’m going to go hit the lazy river. And that was me.

00:42:16.90
Trevor
Like, I think I did like four laps in the lazy river and it was amazing. Like I just leaned back and was just like, i i was, i wasn’t fully asleep, but I was far enough asleep that I could ignore everything around me.

00:42:20.86
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, rejuvenating.

00:42:31.18
Trevor
But of course I was like, you know, making sure that like, if I bumped into somebody, I wasn’t like falling off my tube or something, but like, it was, it was one of those, like, that’s a great place to have like a middle of the afternoon nap.

00:42:36.89
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:42:43.09
Trevor
As long as you have sunscreen and you don’t cook yourself.

00:42:46.36
Welcome Home Podcast
I also have to say though, you know, those statues are cool and all, but if I wake up from ah falling asleep and I’m that giant ah heron is staring at my face, I might freak out for a second, but.

Trevor

Welcome Home Podcast
All right. So another thing that was lighting up the ah discord is um ah so a bit ago, and I, I’m pretty sure this is confirmed at this point that this is going to, to where we think it is.

00:44:04.02
Trevor
Okay.

00:44:08.17
Trevor
Mm-hmm. Yep.

00:44:16.14
Welcome Home Podcast
But ah you know, those of you that have ever been to the boardwalk over at Disney, which I think is a really cool and unique area in the resort. Cause it’s just like, it’s, it’s kind of random in a weird way.

00:44:27.85
Welcome Home Podcast
And also for me, that’s just,

00:44:28.76
Trevor
it It doesn’t fit anything else at Disney. It it is a unique.

00:44:31.38
Welcome Home Podcast
No, it’s just there.

00:44:32.76
Trevor
Yeah.

00:44:33.05
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. it’s it And you’re just walking on this boardwalk and there’s entertainment and stores and it’s just it’s it’s such an interesting thing.

00:44:33.68
Trevor
Yeah.

00:44:40.76
Welcome Home Podcast
And i love the board i I absolutely love the boardwalk. And part of that is you know because i I grew up in in New Jersey and I grew up going to the boardwalk at the at the shore in New Jersey. Now, this one is, you know the one here is basic based on like Atlantic City and and Coney Island and that’s not the ones I used to go to, but it’s all the same kind of, it’s the same vibes, right?

00:44:57.43
Trevor
Same vibe.

00:44:59.54
Welcome Home Podcast
So anyway, ah there There was a place called Jelly Rolls that a lot of people ah really liked. It was a dueling piano bar, right? And that place closed. Jelly Rolls closed, which I think a lot of people were sad about. But we now, ah Disney has given a made an announcement about what’s going to replace it.

00:45:19.03
Welcome Home Podcast
And also replace the art store that’s right there too, that which I didn’t actually remember that they closed, but they did.

00:45:19.46
Trevor
Yeah.

00:45:24.73
Welcome Home Podcast
um and so what it’s gonna be called is hurley burley which is a great name early burley i like it yeah it definitely gives you like a an idea of what kind of entertainment you’re going to be getting there right because yeah and so um it says uh during the afternoon guests can drop by for family friendly activities like trivia and other games with it with a host and then At night, it’s going to be a live music venue with you know for guests 21 and over to unwind with a classic coastal-inspired cocktails, tasty light bites, while enjoying a variety of musical entertainment.

00:45:29.79
Trevor
Yeah, Hurley Burley. Yeah, I like that. That’s…

00:45:39.14
Trevor
Mm-hmm.

00:46:01.18
Welcome Home Podcast
So it’s ah it’s just not a piano bar anymore, and obviously they kind of rethemed it, but it’s a similar kind of thing. you know It’s live music venue.

00:46:07.70
Trevor
It looks more like a jazz bar.

00:46:09.69
Welcome Home Podcast
It does. Yeah.

00:46:10.58
Trevor
Yeah.

00:46:11.64
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. This, it almost feels this, this is almost more of a Disney cruise line, uh, ship vibe to Yeah.

00:46:19.70
Trevor
Okay.

00:46:19.77
Welcome Home Podcast
we Because like have a lot of the places on the ships, you have like trivia and other kids activities during the day.

00:46:20.06
Trevor
Yeah.

00:46:25.45
Welcome Home Podcast
And then at night, you know, you’ve got the live music and like, you know, your drinks and all that. It’s kind of, kind of similar to that kind of situation, you know, where it’s a, it’s a multi-use thing where kids can go during, a during, during the day, then it’s adults only at night, you know?

00:46:38.33
Welcome Home Podcast
So.

00:46:38.71
Trevor
Yeah. You know, you know that that brings up an interesting point because I was kind of in the back of my head, I was thinking about this as um not as a reincarnation of Pleasure Island, but maybe continuing that same kind of…

00:46:39.71
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:46:52.79
Trevor
um the the The same kind of feeling that Pleasure Island gave, which was, you know, it was, it was ah you know, 21 and over centric area. Obviously, you know, that was it was a little over the top, but, you know, they had like the different um the different clubs you could go to, right?

00:47:09.86
Trevor
And this this feels like, I’m wondering if maybe what Disney’s thinking about is, you you know, there there is always that constant…

00:47:10.01
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:47:17.53
Trevor
discussion of like hey you know there there’s you know obviously it’s a theme park there’s stuff for kids but there is also adults that come to Disney and there is there should be spaces that kind of accommodate both and that’s what this seems like to me is you know they realize you know like you said Boardwalk again has a particular vibe to it they’re trying to I feel like channel um you know or acknowledge the fact that like hey Boardwalk is a fun place you know with your kids or you you know to get that Coney Island vibe but also It is a, you know, a place, as you know, it’s a good place as an adult, you know, as a Disney adult to go and have a more adult experience.

00:47:57.69
Trevor
adult experience or, you know, you know, obviously, you know, in the evening, it’s like you, you can go somewhere where it’s not families, which I get that, you know, there is, there is a demographic for that, that, you know, some people want, like you said, it’s the same as the cruise ships as you, you know, they have those areas where it’s like, yeah, you know, it’s, you know, you know, rightfully so there’s lots of spaces for kids, but this is a nice space for, you know,

00:48:05.88
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah.

00:48:22.84
Trevor
yeah If you’re looking for somewhere to go in the evening that isn’t, you know, fighting with people in the parks, this seems like the ah the prime choice.

00:48:32.82
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, I mean, listen, Jelly Rolls has been closed for over a year now, so it’s just been sitting vacant over there.

00:48:36.57
Trevor
Yeah.

00:48:38.02
Welcome Home Podcast
And I always hate when they have vacant vacant stuff just sitting around, you know? like it’s I like having like you know actual things going on in these places.

00:48:44.18
Trevor
It’s.

00:48:47.68
Trevor
Yeah, but it also takes time to build these things too.

00:48:50.30
Welcome Home Podcast
It does.

00:48:50.44
Trevor
And I’m sure it took them a little bit time to figure out what they wanted to do with it. And I’m glad that they, like, jazz bar is honestly, think, the best case scenario.

00:48:59.36
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah.

00:48:59.78
Trevor
Because, like, mean, I’m not a huge fan of jazz, but I’ve actually been to clubs where they have, like, jazz nights and stuff for various

00:49:04.20
Welcome Home Podcast
Thank you.

00:49:11.96
Trevor
um or at various times. And i really enjoyed it. Like it’s, it’s not something that I want to do all the time, but it’s like when you kind of, when you kind of stumble onto it at the right moment, it’s like, Hey, this is really cool.

00:49:23.16
Trevor
And it’s a really fun experience. Right. So yeah.

00:49:26.87
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, we I never actually went to jelly rolls. And the only reason I didn’t is because it was expensive. It was like really expensive. The the cover charge was like, i don’t remember what it was.

00:49:35.13
Trevor
And

00:49:38.17
Welcome Home Podcast
it was if I seem to remember being like 30 or 40 bucks.

00:49:38.15
Trevor
yeah,

00:49:41.09
Welcome Home Podcast
And I was like, no.

00:49:42.90
Trevor
for For dueling pianos, right? Yeah.

00:49:45.30
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, it it just felt like it was it was a lot. Oh, well, this is just Google this at twenty two dollars a person. But I remember being more expensive. But yeah. yeah

00:49:54.87
Trevor
Maybe it’s after you, you know, after you get everything, you know, food and drinks and everything. Yeah, it’s, I mean, it it is an expensive thing, right? But, ah you know, I also get why, you know, they don’t want to just make it.

00:50:08.22
Trevor
open to everybody because that that’s also, you know, as we’ve talked about before, that’s like a good way that Disney kind of, you know, controls these places from becoming too busy.

00:50:15.66
Welcome Home Podcast
Controls crowds.

00:50:16.98
Trevor
Yeah.

00:50:17.30
Welcome Home Podcast
Maybe I was just really cheap at the time. I don’t know. and Because everything I’m reading is $18.

00:50:20.18
Trevor
Hmm. I mean, I, I mean, I’ll say this, I, I don’t go to bars because i don’t want to pay cover charges either.

00:50:21.56
Welcome Home Podcast
And I’m like, that’s not that bad. I should have done that.

00:50:27.34
Trevor
So, yeah, you know, even, even like local ones, it’s like, Oh, it’s $10 cover charge.

00:50:27.51
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah, that’s great.

00:50:31.90
Trevor
i’m I’m not that interested.

00:50:34.07
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, especially when I can go over to the Magic, ah you know, Abracadabra over there and there’s no cover charge, you know.

00:50:34.41
Trevor
It’s like,

00:50:40.50
Trevor
Hmm.

00:50:40.63
Welcome Home Podcast
ah

00:50:41.14
Trevor
That’s true. Yeah.

00:50:42.30
Welcome Home Podcast
And that’s more my vibe anyway, right?

00:50:44.09
Trevor
So again, again, different demographics, but, but I would say like, I feel again, the way that they’re positioning this, I feel like this is somewhere that I would go into and not having any expectations, be pleasantly surprised with it.

00:50:44.16
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:50:59.38
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah yeah

00:51:00.25
Trevor
Like, like I’m, I’m okay with a jazz bar seems like a good idea to me.

00:51:05.27
Welcome Home Podcast
I agree. It does fit the theme really nicely.

00:51:06.20
Trevor
Yeah.

00:51:07.39
Welcome Home Podcast
And I like the name Hurley Burley.

00:51:07.82
Trevor
Hmm.

00:51:08.83
Welcome Home Podcast
It feels very old timey at Atlantic City.

00:51:10.17
Trevor
Yeah. yeah Yeah.

00:51:11.39
Welcome Home Podcast
so

00:51:11.94
Trevor
Yeah. It feels, yeah. Like you say, yeah. Hurley Burley definitely gives the vibe of, of like a, like a jazz bar. Right. So, yeah.

00:51:19.38
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. And listen, I don’t care what anyone says about Abracadabra. I enjoy that that place. I’ve been there a couple of times.

00:51:25.01
Trevor
I, I didn’t say anything about it.

00:51:25.58
Welcome Home Podcast
it’s I enjoy it. No, but pe I’m just saying people don’t like it.

00:51:26.95
Trevor
I mean, what, who, who’s saying who,

00:51:30.14
Welcome Home Podcast
I don’t know why. I think it’s cool. But I don’t know.

00:51:33.96
Trevor
Who are these people, Tom? We need to, we need to, why why would you, why would you not like magic?

00:51:36.31
Welcome Home Podcast
Magic themes. Come on. I cannot like that.

00:51:39.48
Trevor
I love magic. Like, come on.

00:51:40.60
Welcome Home Podcast
and people Some people won’t like those things. um But there’s also ah there’s shot so a new shopping experience too, which doesn’t really interest me, but I can see my wife and daughter are spending a lot of time here.

00:51:42.71
Trevor
Okay, whatever. Hmm.

00:51:51.76
Welcome Home Podcast
Which is a it’s a It’s like a…

00:51:51.83
Trevor
Hmm.

00:51:56.22
Welcome Home Podcast
What are you when is it called? It’s called Basin. on the Basin on the Boardwalk, which is a base

00:52:03.70
Trevor
Which basins in in Disney Springs.

00:52:06.36
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, they have, yeah.

00:52:07.27
Trevor
Yeah.

00:52:07.48
Welcome Home Podcast
And then, so they they have, ah these are like handcrafted ah like soaps and bath bombs and lip balms and shampoos and conditioners and you can make your own.

00:52:19.31
Trevor
audie body care stuff that if you’re into that, great. But i’ I don’t think you were, i think you ah you and I ended up in Basin when we were, we and and i think we didn’t, yeah, yeah we we we got dragged in there and we we, I was not opposed to it, but I like that, those kinds of places are not my speed.

00:52:25.08
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. this thing

00:52:30.46
Welcome Home Podcast
We did actually, yeah. Pretty sure we got dragged there.

00:52:44.66
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s not for me.

00:52:45.61
Trevor
It’s, yeah, yeah.

00:52:46.94
Welcome Home Podcast
I’m going to be totally honest too. I have really bad allergies and a certain sense will send me into like a sneezing fit.

00:52:51.45
Trevor
Oh, it just irritates you. Yeah.

00:52:54.20
Welcome Home Podcast
Like, you know, if I, if the wrong ah perfume is worn around me, i I will like seize up. So, and that’s, that doesn’t, that is not just that kind of stuff. It’s this kind of stuff too.

00:53:04.68
Welcome Home Podcast
But listen, not going to yuck anybody’s jump here, man. You, if you, if you were all about the, the bath bombs and all that stuff that’s great uh and also you know here you can do a custom bath tea blend there’s a custom tea bath tea blending counter a make your own soap station and a soap embossing press for personalized ah soap because that’s what i want is i i want soap with my name on it um you know just to make sure no one else uses it

00:53:08.02
Trevor
Yeah.

00:53:12.24
Trevor
Yeah.

00:53:28.60
Trevor
Yeah.

00:53:31.67
Trevor
I mean, to be fair, I, I, I will say this is, you know, I customized soap actually doesn’t seem like a bad idea. Like the the other, like the bath bombs and stuff like that.

00:53:39.83
Welcome Home Podcast
No. no

00:53:42.51
Trevor
That’s not like, again, like, like you said, you know, for those, the people that are into it. Great for me, not, not my thing, but You know, being able to do a customized soap doesn’t, or that would probably the be the only reason I would be in there.

00:53:57.66
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah. I like whenever there’s like interactive stuff you can do in this kind of these kind of places, you know, where you can make your own stuff and make custom stuff.

00:54:01.85
Trevor
Yeah.

00:54:07.09
Welcome Home Podcast
And yeah, that’s I think that kind of stuff is good. Enough of that, though.

00:54:11.96
Trevor
ah

00:54:13.22
Welcome Home Podcast
it’s

00:54:13.24
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah. that That’s kind of, Or yeah, it’s a, it’s an interesting thing, but also not where, not what I would consider a priority when I’m at Disney.

00:54:24.15
Welcome Home Podcast
But like I said, my wife will go.

00:54:24.86
Trevor
Yeah.

00:54:26.03
Welcome Home Podcast
she She would be into it and spend way too much money there because I’m sure a custom bar of soap is like $50.

00:54:26.42
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah.

00:54:31.54
Welcome Home Podcast
fifty dollars um They do also kind of as an aside, they say there’s a new quick service restaurant coming to the Boardwalk too, but they’re not announcing that yet.

Welcome Home Podcast
So. I’ll take new new quick services. i have to tell you though, Jared, my wife has been bothering me to get over to the the corn dog place on the boardwalk because she really wants that giant mozzarella stick that everyone’s talking about.

00:55:00.54
Trevor
Yeah. Okay. Well, all right.

00:55:01.43
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. It’s, yeah it’s, it’s, it’s a big giant mozzarella stick, uh, that costs like $15. Uh, I, I am not, I am not in any way, uh, saying bad things about this.

Trevor

00:55:15.60
Welcome Home Podcast

Welcome Home Podcast

00:57:43.35
Welcome Home Podcast
Anyway, so…

00:57:44.16
Trevor
Okay, so we have a ah lineup here. and And so you said you you said you’re your wife was excited for this or she was…

00:57:52.56
Welcome Home Podcast
she’s very upset because she loves fits in the tantrums and fits in the tantrums are playing uh september 13th through 14th which is not when we were there yeah yeah so i’m actually i’m i’m actually surprised sometimes at the acts they’re able to get at this like sometimes it’s like bands i’ve never heard of and then sometimes it’s bands that have like a lot of like pretty big songs that i didn’t think would be playing up got ah but you know whatever um

00:57:58.97
Trevor
Which is way after you’re there. Yeah. Okay.

00:58:07.86
Trevor
Yeah.

00:58:16.28
Trevor
yeah You know, ah ah okay, but before we get into the list, i I’ve heard or I saw a thing from um the lead singer of Sugar Ray because they they’ve done, ah you know, some of these performances and, you know, people that they were somebody was trying to blast them online being like, you know, hey, go, you know, playing at these at, you know, Disney, yeah you know, yeah, playing at Epcot, your career must be in trouble.

00:58:27.45
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

00:58:36.43
Welcome Home Podcast
At Epcot.

00:58:39.87
Trevor
And he he clapped back with, you know, actually, One, playing at Epcot is an honor. like yeah you know it it should It shows that you have enough acknowledgement that you know a company like Disney is reaching out to you to play.

00:58:46.59
Welcome Home Podcast
I’m sure it’s all. Yeah, absolutely.

00:58:53.21
Trevor
They they don’t just you know you know take random people. The other thing, too, is yes, a lot of these a lot of these acts are older bands. you know we We always talk about, like oh, you know I loved them when I was younger or whatever.

00:59:04.16
Trevor
It’s like, yeah, sorry, we’re getting old. you know Spoiler alert. But, um you know, it also gives an opportunity to introduce these bands to newer generations because, you know, people come in there with their families, you know, maybe their kids will pick up on a particular band and, you know, you know, start investigating their, you know, their albums and stuff. So i don’t, yeah and anybody hating on bands at Disney, like,

00:59:32.06
Trevor
what are you doing that’s getting you invited to Disney to play for a couple of days?

00:59:36.22
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, i i’m not I’m not hating on it.

00:59:36.79
Trevor
again

00:59:38.34
Welcome Home Podcast
i just I’m just surprised they can get it.

00:59:38.52
Trevor
Yeah.

00:59:40.46
Welcome Home Podcast
you know they

00:59:40.92
Trevor
Well, yeah. but Yeah. I guess that’s the other thing too, is, you know, some of them, it feels like, oh, you know, I guess they, they they have time to do it but I feel like, you know, even like super popular bands, they’re like, yeah, I’ll take a vacation for a couple of days, you know, play a few shows. Right.

00:59:54.71
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah.

00:59:55.49
Trevor
Yeah.

00:59:55.55
Welcome Home Podcast
that’s why That’s why I always assume that like neil whenever Neil Patrick Harris does ah the candlelight processional, it’s just so he can get a free vacation at Disney, right?

00:59:56.47
Trevor
Yeah.

01:00:01.31
Trevor
Yeah. It’s, it’s, his it’s as yearly trip without having to pay for a DVC.

01:00:02.47
Welcome Home Podcast
and since that’s a Yeah. Exactly, yeah.

01:00:05.98
Trevor
So, yeah, but, but okay, let’s let’s get into some of these bands.

01:00:06.32
Welcome Home Podcast
Exactly. There you go, right? Yeah.

01:00:09.68
Trevor
So I’ll admit ah there’s some on here. I know there’s some that I’ve never heard of before.

01:00:15.02
Welcome Home Podcast
There’s a lot that I’ve never heard of in here.

01:00:15.16

01:00:16.42
Welcome Home Podcast

01:00:17.27
Welcome Home Podcast
But there’s also, I’ve noticed that early August, they don’t they only have end of August right now and and nothing for early August, which is odd.

01:00:22.52
Trevor
Yeah.

01:00:24.29
Welcome Home Podcast
So when I’m there, they don’t have anything, which is weird.

01:00:27.18

01:05:03.99
Trevor
Yeah.

01:05:04.11
Welcome Home Podcast
i’m i’m just I’m just realizing, Trevor.

01:05:04.71

01:05:07.96
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:05:08.91
Trevor
And so it’s like, I don’t want to be like, well, I’ve never heard of them. So whatever. It’s like, I’m sure for people, you know, you know, if your favorite band is in there, great. Like, you know, you know, by all means. And, you know, if I happened to be there one of those days and i you know, happened to discover one of these bands, I wouldn’t be against it.

01:05:25.43
Trevor
But yeah, I just, not a lot of, of stuff that I know right now. Yeah.

01:05:31.41
Welcome Home Podcast
I’m just realizing, Trevor, that i’m not i’m I’m actually not going to be there for Food & Wine this year. i

01:05:36.28
Trevor
Yeah, I was going to say, I think you’re actually there before food and wine, aren’t you?

01:05:39.19
Welcome Home Podcast
We are, yeah. which i See, I was thinking back to like a couple years ago when and they started late July, but this they’ve been starting late August in the past couple of years, and I just…

01:05:48.09
Trevor
So that that’s that’s the August 27th start date, probably, is that that lines

01:05:48.31
Welcome Home Podcast
i just

01:05:51.13
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, i would I just blanked on the fact that there was it was like i was early August and this was starting until the end of August. So I’m like festival-less for the time that I’m there.

01:06:01.34
Trevor
Festival lists.

01:06:02.36
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, what am I going to do?

01:06:04.14
Trevor
But yeah, you need a t-shirt for that or something.

01:06:08.57
Welcome Home Podcast
Festival. I just came here.

01:06:09.71
Trevor
i’m I’m festival-less.

01:06:11.05
Welcome Home Podcast
and ah Yeah, I don’t know like what what kind of shirt I can make about missing the festivals.

01:06:16.64
Trevor
Yeah. You found that sweet spot where there’s actually like no, yeah, no festival for you.

01:06:20.85
Welcome Home Podcast
there’s like no festival. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

01:06:25.22
Trevor
That’s sad.

01:06:26.01
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah It is sad.

01:06:26.06
Trevor
Yeah.

01:06:27.05
Welcome Home Podcast
I, I just, I didn’t even realize see like, this is I was talking to you about this too. I’ve been like, my dates have been all screwed up lately. Like I, I, you know what i mean? Like I kind of forgot when we were actually going.

01:06:37.02
Trevor
Yeah.

01:06:38.64
Welcome Home Podcast
I knew it was, it was in August obviously, but I would just was not thinking about it. Yeah.

01:06:43.64
Trevor
Hmm.

01:06:43.88
Welcome Home Podcast
Wow. That stinks.

01:06:45.75
Trevor
All right. Well, sad for you, Tom, but you know, for people to go during food and wine, enjoy your, uh, your bands that are playing.

01:06:49.55
Welcome Home Podcast
It is sad. Yeah.

01:06:53.88
Welcome Home Podcast
No, I don’t want anyone to enjoy it now because I can’t. No, just kidding. It is a bummer, but it is what it is. um

01:07:02.49
Trevor
All right. um I think we got we have one more thing on the rundown here. um Before we talk about this last thing, actually, I wanted to bring something up.

01:07:13.82
Trevor
and I know we normally don’t talk about these kinds of things, controversial things.

01:07:17.02
Welcome Home Podcast
Controversial things.

01:07:19.13
Trevor
But, you know, I’m sure for anyone that that is paying attention to Disney news, they they made some changes to the way transportation works in the last – or and it’s coming – they haven’t made the change.

01:07:30.04
Trevor
It’s like coming up like immediately. And so they, they’ve, ah they’ve stopped or sorry, i guess when you’re, so when you’re at Disney Springs, if you go to get on any of the resort buses, it used to just be, you could just go get on the buses and nobody said anything.

01:07:47.06
Trevor
um Disney is now, they’re now actually scanning magic bands or making you prove that you have a reservation at a resort or that you have whether whether it’s like staying at a resort or you have like a dining reservation or some reason to go to a resort because um people have, I guess, been abusing it, which I’m going to be honest, the the fact that people, you know, didn’t want to pay for parking, like the whole reason that they’re changing this is because people didn’t, weren’t parking at like Epcot or Magic Kingdom or whatever.

01:08:21.34
Trevor
They figured out the, and I’m using air quotes, the hack, right? That you you park at Disney Springs because parking there is free and then get on the resort buses and travel to a nearby resort and then from the resort to to whatever park you’re going to.

01:08:29.68
Welcome Home Podcast
It

01:08:36.34
Trevor
And, you know, if it’s like Riviera or something, it’s like, hey, take the Skyliner in and, you know, that’s great. You know, great hack, except one, it costs you a lot of time. And two, the like the the problem that I think that Disney was running into was that,

01:08:45.62
Welcome Home Podcast
it

01:08:51.32
Trevor
you know, parking. And I saw this, like I was reading some people’s reports on this, you know people were saying, you know, parking at Disney Springs was way more difficult than it needed to be because there was a lot of people abusing parking at Disney Springs so that they didn’t have to park in the parks or, you know, you know pay for parking all that, which, you know, I’m, I’m,

01:09:06.28
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:09:10.25
Trevor
I’m just going to go on a record as I’m glad that Disney is actually closing this loophole. But also, you know, people who get mad about Disney closing loopholes, it’s usually because somebody is doing something to abuse it.

01:09:25.18
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s a utilizing the youhole loophole.

01:09:26.33
Trevor
yeah yeah Well, well they’re they’re abusing something.

01:09:28.18
Welcome Home Podcast
yeah

01:09:28.73
Trevor
like It’s always like it’s they’re always abusing something. and it’s like And this is always like, this is why we can’t have nice things, right?

01:09:35.06
Welcome Home Podcast
I was just going to say this, this comes down to my response to this is this is why we can’t have nice things.

01:09:35.68
Trevor
Yeah.

01:09:40.07
Trevor
Yeah. And, and I, I, I want to say this too, because it it’s, it’s a funny thing that, um, so, you know, my wife helps us do the the postings on, on Facebook and, and your wife helps on on Instagram and my wife sets up, um, she actually, she’s very organized with it. And like, she’ll set up questions and stuff that I know, like, you know, we see like responses that you guys put out there. I want to, uh, you know, um,

01:10:08.34
Trevor
I want to actually make a ah shout out to this is that this was not deliberate, but my wife actually put a, the, the question that went up today, or’re we’re recording this on a Friday. Sorry. You get to see behind the screen a little bit here. that

01:10:24.51
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:10:24.60
Trevor
And my wife had put up, or one of the questions that got put up today was about what’s your favorite Disney transportation. And i saw, um

01:10:34.05
Welcome Home Podcast
There’s one correct answer to that.

01:10:34.01
Trevor
or or so So Jeff, one one of our listeners that I’ve seen Jeff post on things before and he and he was kind of being like coy about like, you know, I i want to say it or i I would say it’s, you know, the bus from Disney Springs to my resort. But, you know, I can’t say that anymore. But like I had, you know, he was making a joke and and I appreciate it because the the funny thing is, is that that was not planned in any way, shape or form. It just is like, it’s a funny thing of the stars aligning that my wife made a post or she planned a post to be released. Like, yeah you know, she did this like a while ago because she doesn’t, or she sets them up ahead of time.

01:11:14.93
Trevor
And it just so happened to be like right at the time that they announced this change to the Disney transportation. So, so not intentional, but very, very opportunistic.

01:11:22.62
Welcome Home Podcast
I mean…

01:11:25.77
Trevor
And yeah, like I said, back to the point of like the actual news on it. um Yeah, it’s,

01:11:32.84
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s not officially, but it’s not official from Disney yet, by the way. This is still…

01:11:35.58
Trevor
Yeah, so supposedly it’s coming in or it’ll be in effect as of like end of next week, I believe is what they said.

01:11:39.23
Welcome Home Podcast
After John Ford.

01:11:42.82
Trevor
So like they’re already, they’re starting to do and they’ve been, and we we talked about, I think in the past where it’s like they were starting to test like, like, like or, you know, checking people before they hop on the resort buses.

01:11:54.14
Trevor
But

01:11:54.82
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:11:55.96
Trevor
Disney’s actually like locking this down and you know, I’m, I’m not mad about it because i mean, obviously, you know, I, I wouldn’t be abusing this feature or, you know, used to be feature, but it’s a funny thing how people kind of react to it. Like there, there’s a lot of people I think that would, that would agree with us on this. It’s like, yeah, of course, like, you know, they should be checking that, you know, people are not, you know, abusing Disney Springs parking to go elsewhere on property.

01:12:24.41
Trevor
Um, which, you know, sorry, if, if that’s what you were doing, you got to pay now, yeah you know, just pay for parking. But, and, and, and I’m gonna, I’m gonna say the hot take here too, is, you know, if, if you’re balking at the price of parking to stay on Disney property, why are you going to Disney in the first place?

01:12:42.74
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:12:43.29
Trevor
Because like like that’s not the most expensive thing that you’re going to be doing in any given day at Disney.

01:12:50.49
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah.

01:12:51.51
Trevor
So, yeah.

01:12:52.25
Welcome Home Podcast
That’s, yeah.

01:12:52.54
Trevor
So i just I just wanted to cover that because it was just like a weird timing thing that happened.

01:12:52.65
Welcome Home Podcast
i

01:12:56.42
Trevor
And, yeah.

01:12:58.62
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. I, you know, listen, it’s, I, anytime they try to close like these loopholes, it’s, But it’s, you know, it’s ah people get mad. Like you said, the people that get mad of the ones that were utilizing the little loophole.

01:13:11.37
Welcome Home Podcast
So, you know.

01:13:12.60
Trevor
And, and yeah, like I said, it’s, it’s not a, it’s not an earth shattering thing, but it’s honestly like a, I’m, I’m surprised they didn’t do it before now, but yeah.

01:13:21.50
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. it’s it’s It’s really just, it’s, you know, it’s it’s it just a way to get people get rid of people utiliz trying to, you know, utilize the free parking at the place right now.

01:13:23.03
Trevor
Anyway. Yeah.

01:13:30.01
Trevor
Well, well, and, and I’ll say this too, is, you know, I guess, you know, if, you know, going around Disney Springs, like, yeah or I could imagine like, you know, you know, somebody that’s just coming there to do shopping.

01:13:42.56
Trevor
Like if my local shopping center that I was going to just had like random people parking in it for nothing to do with the shopping center, I would be annoyed about that. Like I would like, yeah, like I, like you know, anybody getting mad because they’re not able to do that.

01:13:52.46
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, that would have done me too. Yeah.

01:13:56.86
Trevor
like, you’re, you’re the problem. Like it’s. Yeah.

01:14:00.57
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah, I agree. That’s that’s that’s ah that’s that’s good, yeah. i Listen, it’s ah first of all, the the the question that your wife posted in ah in the Facebook group, there’s i to me, there’s I can’t imagine that a single person said the bus is their favorite transportation method, method but you know that would shock me, because to me, it’s it’s Skyline or a monorail, and there’s no other correct answers.

01:14:05.37
Trevor
Yeah.

01:14:19.19
Trevor
Okay. I mean…

01:14:23.64
Trevor
Right. Well… okay I mean, yeah. Skyline and Monorail are good.

01:14:27.83
Welcome Home Podcast
Maybe boat. Maybe boat.

01:14:30.50
Trevor
i’m trying to think if there I’m trying to think if there is a particular scenario where the bus is just like…

01:14:37.18
Welcome Home Podcast
No.

01:14:39.58
Trevor
I mean…

01:14:39.74
Welcome Home Podcast
the only The only time a bus is good is if you somehow end up to being the only people on it. That’s the only time it’s good. like if you do

01:14:45.56
Trevor
Yes. Yeah. I mean, yeah.

01:14:46.81
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:14:47.20
Trevor
when When you get the whole bus to yourself, that, that is cool.

01:14:49.10
Welcome Home Podcast
That’s amazing.

01:14:50.74
Trevor
I will say actually taking the bus from, or what it, cause I don’t think that I had, I actually need to check this for the the next time I go is ah getting to like Typhoon Lagoon and um Blizzard Beach.

01:15:06.42
Trevor
It used to be, you had to go to Disney Springs and then take the bus from there. I think they actually have, maybe I’m wrong now.

01:15:11.42
Welcome Home Podcast
I think they have direct ones. They’re doing, they, they change that up a lot, but yeah, I think they have direct ones.

01:15:12.50
Trevor
Yeah. I think,

01:15:15.42
Trevor
Yeah, but but so so to me, that that particular bus ride was always like special because it was like like it wasn’t going to like any of the other resorts.

01:15:22.39
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:15:24.01
Trevor
It was going specifically to like that that one attraction. So I think that for me, that was the one time that like a bus was like, this is like the best bus.

01:15:29.65
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:15:33.72
Trevor
And also, like those buses were usually never busy either. So, yeah.

01:15:38.36
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah, no, that’s that’s true. Whatever.

01:15:42.33
Trevor
Anyway.

01:15:42.91
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s you know, it’s I understand why people get mad, but it’s fine.

01:15:43.61
Trevor
Yeah. ah Sorry. I just, I just had to bring that up because it was just, it was just a funny timing thing that happened that we, we happened to post a question about it, but also, um you know, Disney is locking down,

01:15:54.33
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:15:56.34
Trevor
people abusing transportation on property, which ah i find it amazing how many people think that like free transportation is like something you should be entitled to because where like in what city is, or I guess I shouldn’t say there’s no city where transportation is free. i think there is actually cities that I think it’s mostly in Europe. I could be wrong, but there are cities that like offer free transportation, but I don’t know of like,

01:16:24.79
Trevor
anywhere else besides Disney where like you can just get on a bus and nobody like is like, where’s your ticket? Or, you know, why are you here? Right. Like it’s, it’s a crazy thing to think about like that, that, you know, it’s a service that they were offering, but it’s like, it is not actually free for everyone.

01:16:43.51
Welcome Home Podcast
Well, and you don’t want the alternative to fixing this, which is start which is them charging for parking at Disney Springs.

01:16:43.54
Trevor
Yeah.

01:16:49.15
Welcome Home Podcast
like that’s that’s That’s the only other way they fix this, right?

01:16:49.94
Trevor
Yeah.

01:16:53.31
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s charging for parking.

01:16:53.30
Trevor
or charging charging Or they start charging for the bus.

01:16:57.69
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, or that, yeah.

01:16:57.71
Trevor
Wouldn’t that be crazy if you need if you needed a Disney bus pass?

01:17:01.50
Welcome Home Podcast
that’s crazy.

01:17:02.14
Trevor
I got my Disney bus pass.

01:17:03.70
Welcome Home Podcast
they could They’d probably make merch out of those and sell them.

01:17:07.54
Trevor
Oh, yeah. Yeah. yeah you you’d have the

01:17:08.10
Welcome Home Podcast
and Yeah, the whole thing.

01:17:09.92
Trevor
You’d have the limited edition bus passes. Yeah.

01:17:12.25
Welcome Home Podcast
I think it’s basically what a magic band is.

01:17:12.44
Trevor
but

01:17:13.70
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s just a fancy bus pass. Yeah.

01:17:15.54
Trevor
Yeah, but I could just imagine, like but like imagine if like, you know, outside of like if you weren’t staying on property, it’s like, well, I need, I need to go and purchase a bus pass so I can get on the bus at Disney.

01:17:25.94
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:17:26.32
Trevor
Like that would be, i would be wild.

01:17:26.60
Welcome Home Podcast
That’d be crazy. Yeah.

01:17:28.90
Trevor
Like, can you imagine?

01:17:30.55
Welcome Home Podcast
Well, that would be crazy.

01:17:31.31
Trevor
Yeah.

01:17:32.43
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Well, last but not least here, Trevor,

01:17:35.42
Trevor
Yeah.

01:17:36.05
Welcome Home Podcast
Toy Story 5 now out in theaters, which my brother in law saw today and said it was very good. And I it’s gotten fantastic reviews. I’m excited to go see this.

01:17:44.12
Trevor
Hmm.

01:17:45.41
Welcome Home Podcast
we’re going to drag my daughter to it. I say drag my daughter because she’s surprisingly not really interested in this. i I don’t know. I feel like almost like at this point, I mean, obviously a lot of kids are really in the toy story, but I, it also, you know, this is a movie that series that is so old now that it’s just like, I mean i think it maybe was, it’s one of the first movies I remember seeing in the theaters, the like the original toy story, you know, like, yeah, like, yeah, yeah.

01:18:08.64
Trevor
it’s It’s moving into the same space as like Scooby-Doo.

01:18:15.13
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s just been around forever.

01:18:15.89
Trevor
yeah ah Yeah.

01:18:16.23
Welcome Home Podcast
Is that, and it’s just still still relevant.

01:18:17.27
Trevor
Yeah. Like, like it gets it comes back from time to time, but it’s just like, oh, like it’s it’s there, but you’re not, it’s not, yeah, it’s it’s just kind of an assumed IP, I guess this is the best way to say it.

01:18:31.22
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah. And it’s, and it’s, it’s always, real you know, it’s always kind of like reinventing itself a little bit.

01:18:33.32
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah.

01:18:36.94
Welcome Home Podcast
and And it’s always good. I mean, like none of the movies have been bad. And I, like I’ve said, I see oh some people say there’s this new one is their favorite of all of them, which is a crazy thing to say, but you know, I haven’t seen it yet, so I can’t tell you.

01:18:47.31
Trevor
It’s the interesting thing is I’ve heard it, you know, it does really bridge because we’ve had the, the technology shifts since toy story came out where, you know, you know, kids with tablets and stuff, it sounds like it does a good job of bridging that, which I think is, is interesting.

01:18:56.09
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. Yeah.

01:19:02.74
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. well Plus Conan is in it.

01:19:03.51
Trevor
Yeah.

01:19:04.26
Welcome Home Podcast
I’m a huge Conan fan. So I, my, my brother-in-law said Conan steals the movie.

01:19:05.59
Trevor
Yeah.

01:19:08.02
Welcome Home Podcast
So yeah, that’s what he said.

01:19:08.89
Trevor
Really?

01:19:10.26
Welcome Home Podcast
So, and I, I love Conan. So, ah but because of this, this movie coming out, there’s a whole bunch of toy story stuff going on in the parks. And, and one of them is a bullseye popcorn bucket, which just looks awesome.

01:19:21.11
Welcome Home Podcast
ah

01:19:21.56
Trevor
Yes, it does.

01:19:22.99
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:19:22.97
Trevor
I mean, it’s, it’s a, I mean, it’s what you would expect, I guess.

01:19:24.29
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:19:28.85
Trevor
um

01:19:29.27
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:19:30.17
Trevor
The, you know, yeah, yeah.

01:19:30.42
Welcome Home Podcast
I like that the popcorn comes out of a saddle, so you can open it.

01:19:32.55
Trevor
You pop back the saddle and, and yeah.

01:19:34.03
Welcome Home Podcast
That saddle is popcorn.

01:19:34.86
Trevor
Yeah. yeah I have to wonder if the legs are movable or not.

01:19:39.89
Welcome Home Podcast
They look movable.

01:19:39.98
Trevor
I like, yeah.

01:19:40.73
Welcome Home Podcast
They do. Yeah. They look movable, so it looks like you could… I mean, listen, that that one popcorn bucket from Christmas, the the Mickey Christmas tree truck thing, that was like, you know, the lights turned on, you get the wheels worked on it, so I’m going to bet this is movable because some of these are just…

01:19:51.20
Trevor
Mm-hmm.

01:19:56.87
Welcome Home Podcast
basically like toys too you know they’re not just popcorn buckets or toys um and so this one’s available now um it looks it looks like just big version of bullseye like i said popcorn goes in the ah in the saddle and is in his in his uh you know abdomen although i’m not gonna lie it doesn’t look like he holds a whole lot of popcorn trevor

01:19:59.06
Trevor
Yeah.

01:20:15.74
Trevor
I mean, this is yeah, you’re right. it It looks like a very tiny popcorn bucket, but I mean, this is what they do.

01:20:22.93
Welcome Home Podcast
it does

01:20:24.78
Trevor
You know, you know sometimes they get a good one where it’s like, you know, there’s a large, hollowed out cavity for the popcorn. And sometimes it’s more about the artistic choice of, you know, it’s bullseye, but a popcorn pocket, but you have to concede that you can’t get, you know, give it as much space as you would want to.

01:20:44.02
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:20:44.15
Trevor
So, yeah.

01:20:44.50
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah. We also have over at Disneyland, there’s there’s a Forky cake pop. a ah

01:20:52.09
Trevor
Which is super obvious. Like I’m like, Oh yeah, that makes sense.

01:20:54.30
Welcome Home Podcast
It is. Yeah, it’s really obvious.

01:20:56.70
Trevor
But yeah.

01:20:57.99
Welcome Home Podcast
Although it feels a little, um I don’t know, weird to just be like, oh, I’m just going to eat Forky’s head. you know like it’s It’s like when you were a kid and you were…

01:21:07.35
Trevor
You eat Mickey Mouse’s head whenever he, like, yeah.

01:21:09.11
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, that’s true. But Mickey Mouse, the Mickey Mouse bars don’t have a face. They don’t have eyeballs, you know.

01:21:16.96
Trevor
I’m going to draw a smiley face on mine the next time I get one. Yeah.

01:21:19.45
Welcome Home Podcast
And then, yeah, to feel weirder about it. Then there’s the Pizza Planet ah macaron, right?

01:23:31.77
Trevor

01:23:37.91
Welcome Home Podcast
My daughter puts blueberries on her pizza. She told me that. And I said, you’re a crazy person. Where did you get that from? Like, what is it? Why are you putting blueberries on your pizza?

01:23:44.28
Trevor
I mean, it’s kind of the same vibe as putting pineapple on your pizza, I think, and I’m not against it.

01:23:45.98
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:23:50.89
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, don’t know. it feels different, but yeah, that’s cool.

01:23:54.34
Welcome Home Podcast
i don’t even know what that that a slinky dog thing is. Like, what the heck is that?

01:23:59.70
Trevor
It looks like a, I thought it was like a, like a sour gummy thing. Oh no. You know what it is? It’s a spiral, uh, or no, maybe I’m wrong, but I think it’s like a spiral potato maybe.

01:24:10.49
Welcome Home Podcast
Oh, it’s like a curly fry? Yeah.

01:24:12.41
Trevor
Yeah. you You know, you know, when you do like the giant spiral potato and they deep fry it.

01:24:14.62
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:24:15.89
Trevor
Yeah. Like, like that kind of thing maybe.

01:24:16.57
Welcome Home Podcast
Okay. It also looks like the Pixar ball is maybe one of those like ah chocolate things you smash open because there’s like a little, yeah.

01:24:19.03
Trevor
And then.

01:24:22.42
Trevor
Yeah. Yeah. It’s got the mallet. Yeah.

01:24:24.70

Trevor
Yeah.

01:24:26.98
Welcome Home Podcast
They just said Toy Story themed offerings. Thanks.

01:24:31.31
Welcome Home Podcast
I know.

01:24:33.62
Trevor
And then they’re like, and Hong Kong’s got the really cool stuff, but yeah but ignore you know ignore all the cool stuff they’re doing.

Trevor
I don’t know what it is like.

01:32:32.63
Welcome Home Podcast

01:32:38.58
Trevor
Oh, that that’s so much worse.

01:32:44.87

Welcome Home Podcast
um Yeah, do I know.

01:33:18.42
Trevor
Or infinity stare. Yeah.

01:33:20.02
Welcome Home Podcast

01:33:33.50
Trevor
it said Oh, yeah. the the We see everything.

01:33:34.33
Welcome Home Podcast

01:33:44.68
Welcome Home Podcast
I’d just be hanging out my living room and I’d hear, there’s a snake in my boot.

01:33:44.95
Trevor
and

01:33:47.12
Welcome Home Podcast
i’ like, wait a second. Where did that come from?

01:33:48.89
Trevor
Yeah. yeah this This is giving the same energy as Furbies, where they just like start talking randomly. Yeah.

01:33:57.91
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah, yeah, but creepier somehow.

01:33:58.78
Trevor
yeah Yeah. Yeah. ah Man.

01:34:02.01
Welcome Home Podcast
i don’t I don’t like it.

01:34:02.63
Trevor
Like I’m, I’m sure it’s better if they’re interactive. Maybe it’s like, you know, you know, when they’re on, they have like, like the maybe the eyelids close a little bit or it has like a little bit of emotion to it.

01:34:15.84
Trevor
It’s just so.

01:34:17.47
Welcome Home Podcast
It’s creepy.

01:34:18.20
Trevor
yeah Like they’re, they’re looking into my soul.

01:34:19.05
Welcome Home Podcast
I like it.

01:34:21.51
Trevor
That’s

01:34:21.72
Welcome Home Podcast
Does his mouth move when he talks? Because that would be even worse.

01:34:25.66
Trevor
yeah.

01:34:26.36
Welcome Home Podcast
I don’t want any of that.

01:34:26.39
Trevor
I,

01:34:27.72
Welcome Home Podcast
I’m watching a video of it right now as we’re talking. I just want to see what but this thing does.

01:34:30.33
Trevor
Oh my goodness. Okay.

01:34:32.18
Welcome Home Podcast
Okay, cool. let’s I want to see it move. What happens? you know, it’s less creepy in the video. I think it might be partly in the picture.

01:34:38.71
Trevor
What? Why did they pick these pictures then?

01:34:41.66
Welcome Home Podcast
No, i it’s it’s way less creepy in the video. And although his eyes are very… Okay, so… Oh, its mouth does move. Oh, God. Oh, why?

01:34:50.30
Trevor
ah so so So somebody made a conscious choice with these pictures. that they They chose like the thousand yard stare on them.

01:34:55.10
Welcome Home Podcast
Yeah.

01:34:57.82
Welcome Home Podcast
Well, the the other problem here… Oh, God, them talking to each other is even creepier. i No, no, no, no, no. no no the

01:35:05.59
Trevor
but But hey, yeah like but I thought that’s what she wanted was like the dolls to come to life like they do in Toy Story.

01:35:12.34
Welcome Home Podcast
do I mean, do it do I? i I also notice as it’s talking, it never blinks. That’s a problem, too. I know, it like, you know, blinking probably feels unnecessary, but it I feel like it is.

01:35:19.58
Trevor
Yeah, okay. So

01:35:23.58
Trevor
okay so so immediately looking at the picture that you you just sent me here, Buzz’s eyelids are slightly closed, which greatly changes the expression on his face.

01:35:33.75
Welcome Home Podcast
It does, right? It’s less creepy somehow.

01:35:35.13
Trevor
Yeah.

01:35:35.87
Welcome Home Podcast
I don’t know why.

01:35:36.47
