00:00:12.114 --> 00:00:15.854
VIRGINIA: Welcome to Where I Long To Be, a Magical Trip Report Podcast.

00:00:16.134 --> 00:00:18.594
VIRGINIA: My name is Virginia, and I am your host.

00:00:19.094 --> 00:00:23.414
VIRGINIA: Before we get started, I want to give a special shout out to my husband, Charles.

00:00:23.894 --> 00:00:33.754
VIRGINIA: If you are listening to this episode on the day that it's released, yesterday will have been Father's Day, and we had to spend it apart since I'm on a business trip for the majority of the week.

00:00:34.474 --> 00:00:38.774
VIRGINIA: Happy Father's Day to Charles and to all the Disney dads out there.

00:00:40.374 --> 00:00:43.274
VIRGINIA: Today, you'll hear my post-trip interview with Hailey.

00:00:43.714 --> 00:00:53.074
VIRGINIA: In case you didn't check out her pre-trip interview, Hailey and her husband took a kid-free trip to Walt Disney World in celebration of her husband's 30th birthday.

00:00:53.734 --> 00:01:00.714
VIRGINIA: Their travel dates were Friday, May 24th through Sunday, May 26th, and they stayed at Disney's Pop Century Resort.

00:01:00.874 --> 00:01:12.174
VIRGINIA: If you listen to Tiffany's Trip Report episodes, Hailey is a member of that Disney Girlies Facebook group and is Tiffany's friend, who she spoke about on the episode, who makes the custom Disney leotards.

00:01:12.614 --> 00:01:25.554
VIRGINIA: She's also a Disney travel planner, so if you are looking for a cute leotard to wear as a part of a Disney bound, or want Hailey's help in planning your next magical vacation, all of that information is in the show notes.

00:01:26.314 --> 00:01:30.134
VIRGINIA: Okay, I think that's enough information to launch you into this episode.

00:01:30.494 --> 00:01:31.634
VIRGINIA: Here's Hailey.

00:01:33.614 --> 00:01:34.514
VIRGINIA: Welcome back, Hailey.

00:01:35.174 --> 00:01:36.414
HAILEY: Hello, how are you?

00:01:36.994 --> 00:01:38.214
VIRGINIA: I am good.

00:01:38.394 --> 00:01:40.874
VIRGINIA: How was this trip?

00:01:41.554 --> 00:01:42.534
HAILEY: It was good.

00:01:42.634 --> 00:01:46.654
HAILEY: Definitely a nice weekend, jam-packed.

00:01:47.214 --> 00:01:51.194
VIRGINIA: Yeah, you had a lot packed into only a few days.

00:01:51.214 --> 00:02:10.334
VIRGINIA: So for listeners who didn't get a chance to listen to Hailey's preacher report, Hailey was traveling to Walt Disney World Friday, May 24th through Sunday, May 26th, and she was on a couple's trip with her husband, and they were celebrating his birthday, right?

00:02:10.694 --> 00:02:12.354
HAILEY: Yes, yeah, it was his birthday.

00:02:13.034 --> 00:02:16.314
VIRGINIA: So for his birthday, you went to your favorite place.

00:02:16.914 --> 00:02:20.794
VIRGINIA: Yep.

00:02:20.834 --> 00:02:21.954
VIRGINIA: I love how that works.

00:02:22.054 --> 00:02:31.674
VIRGINIA: All right, if you listened to Tiffany's episode from Tiffany and Tomorrowland, Hailey is a good friend of Tiffany, a fellow Disney girly.

00:02:32.654 --> 00:02:35.714
VIRGINIA: So it in some ways feels like a crossover episode here.

00:02:37.034 --> 00:02:41.154
VIRGINIA: But let's get started with all of the details.

00:02:41.494 --> 00:02:43.354
VIRGINIA: First of all, the travel.

00:02:43.374 --> 00:02:46.734
VIRGINIA: How was your flight from Philly down to MCO?

00:02:46.754 --> 00:02:50.834
VIRGINIA: Did you arrive on time, which I think was supposed to be around 9 a.m.?

00:02:51.774 --> 00:02:52.434
HAILEY: We did.

00:02:52.814 --> 00:03:04.814
HAILEY: When we actually got to the Philly airport, I was terrified that we would actually not make our flight because the security line, the way it looked, looked about, it was probably going to be a two hour wait.

00:03:04.834 --> 00:03:11.094
HAILEY: Like it went into a completely different section of the airport that I was never in before.

00:03:11.114 --> 00:03:15.054
HAILEY: Thankfully, it was only like a 50 minute wait.

00:03:15.394 --> 00:03:22.474
HAILEY: So like we still made it, but with only like 45 minutes to like get to the gate ahead of time.

00:03:22.854 --> 00:03:25.214
VIRGINIA: That's still a really long line.

00:03:27.034 --> 00:03:28.234
VIRGINIA: I wonder what it was.

00:03:28.254 --> 00:03:41.074
HAILEY: I think it was, so I think it looked long because normally like right outside of where TSA is, it like wraps like five lines, but they weren't doing that for some reason.

00:03:41.094 --> 00:03:47.434
HAILEY: They were just having like a row of three people go with like a dog sniffing everybody.

00:03:47.794 --> 00:03:52.874
HAILEY: So it was like part of the whole queue system they weren't using.

00:03:53.574 --> 00:03:59.294
HAILEY: So rather than using that, it just like wrapped through like three different complete parts of the airport.

00:04:00.554 --> 00:04:03.634
VIRGINIA: So they didn't use the stanchions to snake everyone.

00:04:04.074 --> 00:04:07.114
VIRGINIA: They were just like, more or less, you're kind of in straight lines.

00:04:07.454 --> 00:04:07.834
HAILEY: Yeah.

00:04:08.394 --> 00:04:08.734
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:04:08.974 --> 00:04:11.434
VIRGINIA: The odd choice, Philly Airport.

00:04:13.554 --> 00:04:24.634
HAILEY: I was looking at him and I was like on my phone, literally I was looking for if there were any other flights down that day because I was convinced that we were not going to make it on time.

00:04:24.954 --> 00:04:25.374
VIRGINIA: Wow.

00:04:26.934 --> 00:04:27.334
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:04:27.494 --> 00:04:28.694
VIRGINIA: But you did.

00:04:29.374 --> 00:04:29.654
VIRGINIA: Right?

00:04:31.454 --> 00:04:37.014
VIRGINIA: So your plan was to Uber or Lyft from MCO over to Pop.

00:04:37.114 --> 00:04:39.454
VIRGINIA: Any issues with getting a car?

00:04:40.314 --> 00:04:48.054
HAILEY: No, I think we had to wait maybe like five or 10 minutes for one to come and then went right over to Pop.

00:04:48.734 --> 00:04:52.334
VIRGINIA: I am doubting your room was ready at this point, but I'll ask, was your room ready?

00:04:52.354 --> 00:04:54.094
HAILEY: It was not.

00:04:54.874 --> 00:05:06.334
HAILEY: Normally, I'm not one to do like the online check-in because I hear there's a better chance of getting pixie dusted if you don't do the online check-in.

00:05:07.094 --> 00:05:14.314
HAILEY: So I was just gonna check in at the counter and then we got there and it was probably like 10 or 15 people deep at that point.

00:05:15.254 --> 00:05:18.754
HAILEY: And spoiler, I got a Topolino's reservation.

00:05:20.074 --> 00:05:21.614
VIRGINIA: Oh, yeah, you were gonna try for that.

00:05:22.134 --> 00:05:24.334
HAILEY: So we had to, didn't have a lot of time.

00:05:24.354 --> 00:05:28.834
HAILEY: So I was like, we'll just drop our bags and I'll just do online check-in and we'll go.

00:05:28.854 --> 00:05:44.074
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I usually do online check-in and then if I can and there's no line, I stop by the front desk because sometimes, especially if you show up and you've already done an online check-in and your room has not texted you to say that it's ready yet.

00:05:44.094 --> 00:05:46.774
VIRGINIA: And I say that as if the room is the one physically texting you.

00:05:48.354 --> 00:05:55.374
VIRGINIA: Then sometimes if you stop at the front desk and they have a room ready, they will go ahead and work their magic to get you in your room.

00:05:55.574 --> 00:06:01.814
VIRGINIA: But I like doing the online check-in just because if there is a line, then I know I'm already taken care of.

00:06:02.374 --> 00:06:05.914
VIRGINIA: All right, so what time was your Topolino's reservation for?

00:06:07.374 --> 00:06:15.054
HAILEY: I wanna say at first, I got it for 10.15, but I thought that was pushing it a little close.

00:06:15.214 --> 00:06:18.734
HAILEY: So I was actually able to move it back to 10.30.

00:06:19.354 --> 00:06:21.254
VIRGINIA: Okay, did you make it on time?

00:06:21.894 --> 00:06:25.274
HAILEY: We were like five or 10 minutes late, but they still got us in.

00:06:25.754 --> 00:06:27.354
VIRGINIA: Okay, good, good, good, good.

00:06:27.494 --> 00:06:38.514
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I was gonna say, if you land at MCO at 9.10 and then have to wait a few minutes for an Uber, and then it's usually about a 30-minute drive over there, like that timeline was a little tight.

00:06:39.054 --> 00:06:43.994
VIRGINIA: So was this your, remind me, was this your first time eating breakfast at Topolino's?

00:06:44.634 --> 00:06:47.734
HAILEY: No, we ate there last May on our adults trip.

00:06:48.114 --> 00:06:49.074
VIRGINIA: Okay, all right.

00:06:49.214 --> 00:06:51.574
VIRGINIA: So how was it this time?

00:06:51.594 --> 00:06:55.214
VIRGINIA: Did you notice any changes or was it delicious?

00:06:55.594 --> 00:06:56.594
HAILEY: It was delicious.

00:06:57.174 --> 00:06:59.714
HAILEY: We actually both got something different.

00:07:00.434 --> 00:07:06.914
HAILEY: So my husband got the steak and eggs and a side of the sour cream waffle.

00:07:07.894 --> 00:07:15.034
HAILEY: And I got the mushroom scramble, but I changed it to be like regular eggs, regular sausage.

00:07:15.894 --> 00:07:17.474
VIRGINIA: Why does it normally come with?

00:07:17.794 --> 00:07:19.094
HAILEY: I think it's normally like-

00:07:19.114 --> 00:07:20.314
VIRGINIA: Night based?

00:07:22.714 --> 00:07:23.174
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:07:23.754 --> 00:07:24.774
VIRGINIA: Well, that sounds good.

00:07:24.794 --> 00:07:25.734
VIRGINIA: How were the characters?

00:07:25.754 --> 00:07:27.094
VIRGINIA: Were they in top form?

00:07:27.594 --> 00:07:28.394
HAILEY: They were good.

00:07:29.414 --> 00:07:31.034
VIRGINIA: I should say Topolino's form.

00:07:31.994 --> 00:07:36.774
HAILEY: It was great because that was the day that I was wearing like my full Donald outfit.

00:07:37.014 --> 00:07:44.974
VIRGINIA: Yeah, that was my next question because for listeners, reminder, Hailey is a Disney girlie and she loves a Disney outfit.

00:07:45.034 --> 00:07:46.674
VIRGINIA: So tell us all about your outfit.

00:07:47.174 --> 00:07:52.714
HAILEY: So I was wearing, it was like a leotard that I made that had Donald's face all over it.

00:07:53.174 --> 00:07:58.894
HAILEY: And then I was wearing like a blue skirted jumper with like the Donald feet years.

00:07:58.914 --> 00:08:02.954
HAILEY: And when he saw it, he loved it.

00:08:02.974 --> 00:08:12.514
HAILEY: Like I had my husband record and he came over and he was like at my feet, like bowing down and then like got up and like gave me a huge hug.

00:08:12.534 --> 00:08:17.454
HAILEY: And then it was funny because he pulled me in and he wanted me to like prom hold him.

00:08:17.574 --> 00:08:20.614
HAILEY: So like he's in the front and I'm in the back.

00:08:21.034 --> 00:08:21.454
VIRGINIA: Got it.

00:08:23.334 --> 00:08:25.254
HAILEY: And it was the best thing ever.

00:08:26.014 --> 00:08:35.314
VIRGINIA: Yeah, my experience is Mickey and Minnie totally acknowledge if you're wearing something to honor them and they make you feel special about it.

00:08:35.774 --> 00:08:40.154
VIRGINIA: But Donald and Daisy, they have a little bit of an ego.

00:08:40.174 --> 00:08:48.894
VIRGINIA: And if you're wearing anything Donald or Daisy themed and they come over and see you, it's like they're their new favorite person.

00:08:49.674 --> 00:08:50.474
VIRGINIA: That tracks.

00:08:50.594 --> 00:08:51.014
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:08:53.094 --> 00:08:57.334
VIRGINIA: I think the answer is probably no, but was your husband wearing anything themed this day?

00:08:57.674 --> 00:08:59.434
HAILEY: I buy him Disney tank tops.

00:08:59.454 --> 00:09:01.054
HAILEY: That's as far as he'll go.

00:09:02.894 --> 00:09:06.074
HAILEY: One of his favorite Disney things is the Emperor's New Groove.

00:09:06.474 --> 00:09:10.634
HAILEY: So I actually found a shirt with like the llama from Emperor's New Groove on it.

00:09:10.754 --> 00:09:11.774
HAILEY: So he was wearing that.

00:09:11.934 --> 00:09:14.354
HAILEY: So a little, nothing crazy.

00:09:14.594 --> 00:09:15.434
VIRGINIA: Subtle, subtle.

00:09:16.574 --> 00:09:17.054
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:09:17.374 --> 00:09:20.674
VIRGINIA: So what time would you say that your breakfast wrapped up?

00:09:22.834 --> 00:09:26.694
HAILEY: It looks like we left at like 1130.

00:09:26.714 --> 00:09:27.854
HAILEY: We were getting ready to leave.

00:09:28.674 --> 00:09:29.094
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:09:29.914 --> 00:09:35.074
VIRGINIA: And your plan was to sort of split the day between Epcot and Magic Kingdom.

00:09:35.094 --> 00:09:38.874
VIRGINIA: So hopping on the Skyliner first and heading over to Epcot.

00:09:38.894 --> 00:09:40.394
VIRGINIA: So tell us all about that.

00:09:41.674 --> 00:09:46.154
HAILEY: So we got to Epcot around 12.

00:09:46.174 --> 00:09:48.074
HAILEY: It looks like we're scanning in there.

00:09:48.094 --> 00:09:54.074
HAILEY: And then first thing we did was we had a lightning lane for test track.

00:09:55.674 --> 00:09:58.414
VIRGINIA: Getting it in one more time before the refurb.

00:09:58.674 --> 00:09:59.114
HAILEY: Yeah.

00:09:59.514 --> 00:10:00.494
HAILEY: He kind of likes that.

00:10:00.514 --> 00:10:06.654
HAILEY: He's not, like I said, he's not a huge roller coaster person, but he likes fast rides.

00:10:06.994 --> 00:10:09.094
HAILEY: So that was his choice.

00:10:09.114 --> 00:10:15.034
HAILEY: I gave him a choice between if he wanted Remy, Frozen or test track.

00:10:15.334 --> 00:10:15.714
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:10:15.734 --> 00:10:16.874
HAILEY: And he picked test track.

00:10:17.274 --> 00:10:18.974
VIRGINIA: How did he do making the car?

00:10:20.974 --> 00:10:23.354
HAILEY: He goes for hilarious.

00:10:23.374 --> 00:10:25.074
HAILEY: He doesn't go for anything else.

00:10:25.094 --> 00:10:28.434
VIRGINIA: He goes, he's not going for efficiency or anything like that.

00:10:28.954 --> 00:10:31.334
HAILEY: It's a bonus if any of those things happen.

00:10:31.354 --> 00:10:33.674
HAILEY: He just goes for what looks funny.

00:10:34.674 --> 00:10:35.274
VIRGINIA: I like that.

00:10:35.314 --> 00:10:36.314
VIRGINIA: I like that tactic.

00:10:36.634 --> 00:10:36.954
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:10:37.474 --> 00:10:43.554
VIRGINIA: When I travel with Alex, my son, he's always trying to make it the most efficient, the most everything.

00:10:44.274 --> 00:10:45.614
VIRGINIA: And it's a lot of pressure.

00:10:45.714 --> 00:10:56.094
VIRGINIA: And I think I sort of go along the lines with your husband where I'm not necessarily trying to make it look the funniest, but I want to make it just look cool.

00:10:56.314 --> 00:11:03.634
VIRGINIA: Or a lot of times I'll try to make it look kind of feminine just because it's the opposite of what Alex does.

00:11:04.314 --> 00:11:06.514
HAILEY: And it's like, we'll go like back and forth.

00:11:06.534 --> 00:11:09.414
HAILEY: So like one thing he'll pick and then I'll pick the next thing.

00:11:09.434 --> 00:11:12.114
HAILEY: So it's like a combination of the two.

00:11:12.594 --> 00:11:15.634
HAILEY: And the cars usually come out looking a little ridiculous.

00:11:17.374 --> 00:11:17.974
VIRGINIA: That's fine.

00:11:17.994 --> 00:11:20.034
VIRGINIA: I like the splitting the duties.

00:11:20.074 --> 00:11:21.514
VIRGINIA: That that's a good way to do it.

00:11:22.254 --> 00:11:22.714
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:11:22.834 --> 00:11:23.994
VIRGINIA: What was after Test Track?

00:11:24.994 --> 00:11:41.974
HAILEY: After that, we went to the Odyssey building, like the citrus, I can't think of the name of it, but the citrus booth that was in the Odyssey building to get the beer flight because he's a fan of like citrus flavored beers.

00:11:43.194 --> 00:11:44.654
HAILEY: So how was that?

00:11:45.274 --> 00:11:46.074
HAILEY: It was okay.

00:11:46.774 --> 00:11:47.594
HAILEY: I was excited.

00:11:47.614 --> 00:11:53.534
HAILEY: I heard from a lot of people that there was a cream ale in there that tasted like a dreamsicle.

00:11:53.554 --> 00:12:00.594
HAILEY: So I was excited for that, but it was still more on the beer end for me.

00:12:00.614 --> 00:12:01.934
HAILEY: Like I'm not a beer drinker.

00:12:01.994 --> 00:12:03.234
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I'm not either.

00:12:03.254 --> 00:12:11.234
VIRGINIA: The only beer that I remotely have ever liked is the Schaffer-Hoffer, which is the grapefruit, because it doesn't taste as much like beer.

00:12:11.814 --> 00:12:12.774
VIRGINIA: But your husband enjoyed it?

00:12:13.134 --> 00:12:13.874
HAILEY: Oh, he loved it.

00:12:13.914 --> 00:12:14.154
HAILEY: Yep.

00:12:14.374 --> 00:12:15.394
HAILEY: So he had all that.

00:12:15.914 --> 00:12:26.114
HAILEY: The plan was we were supposed to, with it being the last weekend, eat at the food booths, but that didn't happen at all with the Topolinos.

00:12:26.134 --> 00:12:26.674
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I was gonna say.

00:12:27.314 --> 00:12:31.874
HAILEY: So yeah, so we just got some drinks around.

00:12:32.414 --> 00:12:38.234
HAILEY: After that, we walked and saw some of the topiaries, and then we made it over.

00:12:38.274 --> 00:12:41.374
HAILEY: He likes going in the stores in the UK Pavilion.

00:12:41.634 --> 00:12:42.994
VIRGINIA: Okay, what is he like to look in there?

00:12:43.014 --> 00:12:45.374
VIRGINIA: Because my husband loves those stores too.

00:12:45.774 --> 00:12:49.594
HAILEY: He likes the swords and like the coats of armor.

00:12:49.614 --> 00:13:01.494
VIRGINIA: Okay, my husband was really into the jerseys that they always had in there, and they recently do not have the jerseys since the pandemic unless they've come back recently.

00:13:01.694 --> 00:13:04.274
VIRGINIA: Yeah, so the swords, all right.

00:13:04.834 --> 00:13:06.354
VIRGINIA: Do they have a swords for sale there?

00:13:07.034 --> 00:13:07.954
VIRGINIA: Or just to look at?

00:13:08.434 --> 00:13:10.074
HAILEY: No, you can buy them there.

00:13:10.094 --> 00:13:13.774
HAILEY: I think it's the UK, China or Japan.

00:13:14.094 --> 00:13:16.274
HAILEY: I'm pretty sure you can buy swords in any of them.

00:13:17.254 --> 00:13:18.774
HAILEY: And then they'll send them...

00:13:19.134 --> 00:13:21.214
HAILEY: He asked because he's looking to get one.

00:13:21.234 --> 00:13:24.014
HAILEY: They automatically ship it home for you, they told him.

00:13:24.114 --> 00:13:28.194
HAILEY: Because obviously they don't want you to walk around Epcot with a sword.

00:13:29.194 --> 00:13:30.074
HAILEY: But it's funny.

00:13:30.094 --> 00:13:35.714
HAILEY: So last year when we went in the Japan Pavilion, he actually found...

00:13:36.274 --> 00:13:38.374
HAILEY: It was a sword, but it was an umbrella.

00:13:38.394 --> 00:13:40.654
VIRGINIA: Oh, I've seen that one.

00:13:40.674 --> 00:13:43.554
VIRGINIA: I have seen that one, but it's kind of big.

00:13:43.874 --> 00:13:44.794
HAILEY: Yeah, it's huge.

00:13:44.994 --> 00:13:47.674
HAILEY: So he got that last year on our trip.

00:13:48.194 --> 00:13:52.774
HAILEY: And it was funny because just like the looks that like some people were giving him.

00:13:53.294 --> 00:13:58.474
HAILEY: And then he's like, if I carry this thing through TSA, are they going to like tackle me?

00:13:58.734 --> 00:14:04.214
HAILEY: I'm like, yeah, I mean, just maybe take the cover off from the beginning and say, hey, it's an umbrella.

00:14:04.554 --> 00:14:04.874
HAILEY: Yeah.

00:14:07.894 --> 00:14:14.254
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I feel like you should make a special luggage tag that it wears that says, I'm an umbrella.

00:14:14.274 --> 00:14:16.934
HAILEY: That might be helpful.

00:14:18.574 --> 00:14:20.134
VIRGINIA: What was after the UK?

00:14:21.214 --> 00:14:30.214
HAILEY: So after we went in the stores, we went to the Rose and Crown Pub because one of my favorite drinks is from the UK Pavilion.

00:14:30.254 --> 00:14:32.194
HAILEY: I like the Welsh Dragon.

00:14:32.394 --> 00:14:35.674
HAILEY: It's like the bright green drink from the Rose and Crown Pub.

00:14:36.054 --> 00:14:37.034
VIRGINIA: What flavor does it have?

00:14:38.434 --> 00:14:47.314
HAILEY: So, it is peach schnapps, pineapple juice, creme de menthe, and there's something else in it.

00:14:47.534 --> 00:15:00.694
HAILEY: I can't remember what the other thing is, but you would think that creme de menthe would throw it off, but it just leaves such a chilled aftertaste after drinking it.

00:15:00.954 --> 00:15:02.574
HAILEY: It's the best thing ever.

00:15:02.594 --> 00:15:03.794
HAILEY: Even my husband tried mine.

00:15:03.814 --> 00:15:05.674
HAILEY: He's like, I like that, and I'm like...

00:15:05.694 --> 00:15:06.254
VIRGINIA: Interesting.

00:15:06.314 --> 00:15:06.754
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:15:06.754 --> 00:15:07.074
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:15:07.094 --> 00:15:10.254
VIRGINIA: The minute you said that, I was like, does that go?

00:15:10.994 --> 00:15:11.634
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:15:11.654 --> 00:15:12.454
VIRGINIA: What was after that?

00:15:12.834 --> 00:15:16.334
HAILEY: And then we made our way over to Soarin.

00:15:17.874 --> 00:15:20.274
HAILEY: We had to leave the park by 2.45.

00:15:21.434 --> 00:15:24.814
VIRGINIA: Oh, because you had a DVC tour scheduled.

00:15:24.834 --> 00:15:25.174
HAILEY: Yeah.

00:15:26.114 --> 00:15:27.654
VIRGINIA: Did you ever make it on Guardians?

00:15:28.274 --> 00:15:28.914
HAILEY: I was going to say.

00:15:28.934 --> 00:15:34.814
HAILEY: So I had the Lightning, like the individual Lightning Lane and Virtual Cube booked.

00:15:35.054 --> 00:15:36.974
HAILEY: I had both of them booked.

00:15:37.494 --> 00:15:42.134
HAILEY: But with not having that much time, I looked at him and I said, it's your lucky day.

00:15:42.154 --> 00:15:43.754
HAILEY: I know you don't like the ride.

00:15:44.114 --> 00:15:48.274
HAILEY: We'll only go on it once to use the individual Lightning Lane that I paid for.

00:15:48.294 --> 00:15:53.794
HAILEY: I said, my birthday gift to you is I will give up me riding the ride one time.

00:15:55.054 --> 00:15:56.974
HAILEY: So that was the last thing that we did.

00:15:57.274 --> 00:15:58.574
VIRGINIA: What song did you get?

00:15:58.854 --> 00:15:59.894
HAILEY: September.

00:16:03.274 --> 00:16:03.634
VIRGINIA: Good.

00:16:03.654 --> 00:16:04.154
VIRGINIA: Good, good, good.

00:16:04.174 --> 00:16:07.074
VIRGINIA: And you know there are people out there that can never get September.

00:16:07.274 --> 00:16:07.714
HAILEY: I know.

00:16:08.074 --> 00:16:10.714
HAILEY: I was on a streak for a while.

00:16:10.834 --> 00:16:16.194
HAILEY: I had it probably three or four times back to back riding it.

00:16:17.074 --> 00:16:17.394
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:16:17.714 --> 00:16:21.494
VIRGINIA: It's the one I hear the most that people are like, I've never gotten September.

00:16:21.494 --> 00:16:27.434
VIRGINIA: I'm like, that's weird to me because I know plenty of people who have gotten it and I've gotten it myself.

00:16:27.514 --> 00:16:29.994
VIRGINIA: But anyway, all right.

00:16:30.094 --> 00:16:35.114
VIRGINIA: So, leaving Epcot by 2.45, how did you get over to the Poly?

00:16:35.134 --> 00:16:39.754
VIRGINIA: Did you just go and take a bus or did you hop on the monorail?

00:16:40.174 --> 00:16:44.754
HAILEY: So we took the monorail to the TTC and then we were...

00:16:44.934 --> 00:16:45.874
VIRGINIA: You can walk from there.

00:16:46.334 --> 00:16:54.174
HAILEY: I was going to say we were on a time crunch and knowing that the Poly is the last stop from the TTC, we're like, we're just going to walk.

00:16:54.574 --> 00:16:58.274
HAILEY: So we made it there in like five or 10 minutes, nothing too crazy.

00:16:58.734 --> 00:16:58.974
VIRGINIA: Mm-hmm.

00:16:59.274 --> 00:17:00.754
VIRGINIA: Is it, wait, is it the last stop?

00:17:00.774 --> 00:17:13.194
VIRGINIA: Because if you get off at the TTC and you hop on a resort monorail, it, I think Poly should be first, but still, it's probably faster that you walked.

00:17:13.914 --> 00:17:21.814
HAILEY: The last time, I swore, unless we were on the wrong one the last time, when we went last year for our adult trip, we were going to Ohana.

00:17:22.194 --> 00:17:31.334
HAILEY: So we took an Uber from, because we stayed at Universal, we took an Uber, so it dropped us off at the TTC, and then we hopped on a monorail.

00:17:31.694 --> 00:17:36.934
HAILEY: Maybe I didn't go on the right one, because it was like 9:30 p.m., so I was wiped out.

00:17:36.994 --> 00:17:39.494
HAILEY: But the poly was the last stop.

00:17:40.374 --> 00:17:42.234
HAILEY: I just didn't want to chance it either way.

00:17:42.254 --> 00:17:44.014
VIRGINIA: Yeah, it usually goes the other direction.

00:17:44.594 --> 00:17:47.514
VIRGINIA: All right, so let's move into your DVC tour.

00:17:47.534 --> 00:17:49.074
VIRGINIA: Tell us all about that.

00:17:49.714 --> 00:17:50.654
HAILEY: It was nice.

00:17:50.774 --> 00:17:52.234
VIRGINIA: How much time did it end up taking?

00:17:52.254 --> 00:17:55.974
HAILEY: I would say maybe like half an hour, 45 minutes tops.

00:17:56.054 --> 00:18:06.574
HAILEY: They actually let us, so my husband told her, the lady who was giving us the tour, that one of like my big bucket list goals is to stay in a bungalow.

00:18:07.114 --> 00:18:14.194
HAILEY: So she took us out to tour a bungalow and I got to sit in the egg chair swings on the porch.

00:18:14.474 --> 00:18:15.654
HAILEY: And we have a picture of that.

00:18:15.674 --> 00:18:19.254
HAILEY: And I'm like, this right here, this is what I'm working towards.

00:18:19.434 --> 00:18:24.814
VIRGINIA: All right, and what else did they do for you during the tour?

00:18:25.434 --> 00:18:28.374
VIRGINIA: I assume you toured one of their regular studios as well.

00:18:28.974 --> 00:18:30.934
HAILEY: We did not, just the bungalow.

00:18:31.514 --> 00:18:33.854
VIRGINIA: Now that's odd to me, and here's why.

00:18:34.134 --> 00:18:38.114
VIRGINIA: As a DVC member, it takes so many points to stay in a bungalow.

00:18:38.274 --> 00:18:45.554
VIRGINIA: Most people do not purchase the number of points that you would need to stay in a bungalow or a wilderness lodge cabin.

00:18:46.594 --> 00:18:49.154
VIRGINIA: If you do stay in one of those, it's for like a night or two.

00:18:49.174 --> 00:18:53.694
VIRGINIA: People are not booking those for a whole week unless you just have like a ton of points.

00:18:54.234 --> 00:18:59.974
VIRGINIA: But most people do have plenty of points to stay in the studio for a full week and do a full week vacation.

00:19:00.474 --> 00:19:02.994
VIRGINIA: So it's odd to me that they didn't show you that.

00:19:03.434 --> 00:19:07.434
HAILEY: So her office was in like a studio.

00:19:07.874 --> 00:19:08.194
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:19:08.214 --> 00:19:09.954
HAILEY: It just didn't have the beds.

00:19:10.714 --> 00:19:13.874
HAILEY: So I don't know if that was like part of it or not.

00:19:14.534 --> 00:19:21.814
HAILEY: And then they also said like when they were doing the tour that as of now, like Polly doesn't have any more points.

00:19:22.154 --> 00:19:28.234
HAILEY: So I don't know if that also had something to do with it because like that wouldn't be like your home resort.

00:19:29.374 --> 00:19:29.974
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:19:31.134 --> 00:19:41.674
VIRGINIA: A note for, I know you were not going into this planning to buy, but anybody who is going to think about getting DVC and you're thinking about buying from Disney, they will tell you things are sold out.

00:19:42.714 --> 00:20:01.254
VIRGINIA: They're not necessarily sold out because even if they don't have points right then and there, if you say the only way I want to buy is to get poly points because that's what I'm interested in, then they will sometimes look at the resales that are going on because they have what's called right of first refusal.

00:20:01.834 --> 00:20:10.574
VIRGINIA: This is getting confusing, but if somebody's trying to sell their DVC points, they have to basically go through Disney first to say, is it okay that I'm selling these?

00:20:10.614 --> 00:20:16.634
VIRGINIA: And Disney can either say yes, go ahead and sell them, or they say no and they buy the points instead.

00:20:16.654 --> 00:20:17.854
VIRGINIA: So Disney buys them back.

00:20:17.874 --> 00:20:22.214
VIRGINIA: So either way, the person who's selling their points is getting the points sold.

00:20:22.334 --> 00:20:24.914
VIRGINIA: So it's not like the sale can't go through for the person, right?

00:20:25.254 --> 00:20:39.374
VIRGINIA: And so when they do that, it's either because they think the person is selling the points for too little money and they're devaluing the product, or it's because they have someone who said, I only wanna buy if I can buy a poly.

00:20:39.474 --> 00:20:52.034
VIRGINIA: And then they're looking for poly points to buy back, to then turn around and sell them at the DVC company price to the person who wanted to buy direct from Disney from poly.

00:20:52.214 --> 00:20:53.534
VIRGINIA: So hopefully that made sense.

00:20:54.494 --> 00:20:55.474
HAILEY: I mean, that's smart.

00:20:55.814 --> 00:21:05.234
HAILEY: My husband actually said, like looking through the numbers, he said, if we, he's like, get rid of that timeshare that we don't use and we can get this one.

00:21:05.254 --> 00:21:07.914
HAILEY: So now I'm like, oh, I have incentive now.

00:21:07.954 --> 00:21:10.474
VIRGINIA: Yeah, your goal is to get rid of that other one.

00:21:10.514 --> 00:21:16.134
VIRGINIA: All right, so I will, as soon as you do, please touch base with me and let me know what happened.

00:21:16.154 --> 00:21:17.334
VIRGINIA: I'll be so excited for you.

00:21:19.014 --> 00:21:22.154
VIRGINIA: All right, what was after the tour?

00:21:22.174 --> 00:21:29.314
VIRGINIA: Did you take them up on their normal offer to get you wherever you need to be or did you hop straight on the monorail?

00:21:30.054 --> 00:21:35.474
HAILEY: So we were actually going to look at going to Trader Sam's since it was right there.

00:21:35.954 --> 00:21:41.874
HAILEY: But even in the, we got there maybe at like 430, it was a three hour wait.

00:21:43.954 --> 00:21:49.294
HAILEY: So we just went to like the outside part, like the Trader Sam's, like the grog's goto outside.

00:21:49.314 --> 00:21:56.614
HAILEY: And we just got some pot stickers and some drinks and sat there for a few minutes, relaxed.

00:21:57.334 --> 00:22:02.494
HAILEY: And then after that, we took the boat over to Magic Kingdom.

00:22:02.874 --> 00:22:04.034
VIRGINIA: Magic Kingdom.

00:22:04.334 --> 00:22:13.534
VIRGINIA: And I have on my list that you had a goal to get your husband on some of the Magic Kingdom coasters because he had never done any of them.

00:22:13.694 --> 00:22:15.894
VIRGINIA: So where did you go first?

00:22:16.554 --> 00:22:20.754
HAILEY: So first we were making our way towards Big Thunder.

00:22:21.794 --> 00:22:28.994
HAILEY: And we actually stopped because they were having the, where all the characters come up, the hoedown in the middle of like frontier land.

00:22:29.854 --> 00:22:30.774
HAILEY: Where they all come out.

00:22:31.294 --> 00:22:35.934
HAILEY: So we stopped to watch that for a few minutes and then went on Big Thunder.

00:22:35.954 --> 00:22:39.174
HAILEY: And then they were testing Tiana's.

00:22:39.514 --> 00:22:42.494
HAILEY: So I had to watch that test for a little bit.

00:22:42.514 --> 00:22:42.854
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:22:43.194 --> 00:22:43.614
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:22:43.894 --> 00:22:52.994
VIRGINIA: I bet you have the same dream I do for my upcoming trip, which is you're standing there watching it and someone goes, would you like to come on with us?

00:22:53.534 --> 00:22:56.114
HAILEY: Yes, that'd be so nice.

00:22:57.374 --> 00:22:58.054
VIRGINIA: Well, okay.

00:22:58.074 --> 00:22:59.614
VIRGINIA: Let's back up for just a second.

00:22:59.634 --> 00:23:00.854
VIRGINIA: How did he like Big Thunder?

00:23:01.174 --> 00:23:03.954
HAILEY: As far as a roller coaster goes, he said he liked it.

00:23:04.974 --> 00:23:09.414
HAILEY: I think Guardians he doesn't like because it spins too much.

00:23:09.614 --> 00:23:12.514
HAILEY: Like Big Thunder doesn't have any huge drops.

00:23:12.594 --> 00:23:14.154
HAILEY: It's just more of like up and down.

00:23:14.414 --> 00:23:16.134
HAILEY: So he said he liked that one.

00:23:16.274 --> 00:23:19.954
HAILEY: By the end of the night, he said that that was actually his favorite one that we were on all day.

00:23:21.054 --> 00:23:23.314
VIRGINIA: All right, where was next?

00:23:24.354 --> 00:23:28.694
HAILEY: We stopped at the Frontierland, the shootin arcade.

00:23:28.714 --> 00:23:30.774
HAILEY: So we did a little shoot in there.

00:23:31.414 --> 00:23:36.774
HAILEY: And then we went to his favorite ride and all of Magic Kingdom, which is the PeopleMover.

00:23:36.794 --> 00:23:37.774
VIRGINIA: Mm-hmm.

00:23:39.734 --> 00:23:41.134
VIRGINIA: PeopleMover fan club.

00:23:41.214 --> 00:23:42.834
VIRGINIA: Yep, I'm a member as well.

00:23:43.594 --> 00:23:45.754
VIRGINIA: Where did you head after PeopleMover?

00:23:45.774 --> 00:23:47.474
VIRGINIA: Did you stick to Tomorrowland?

00:23:47.994 --> 00:23:49.854
HAILEY: We did, we went to Space Mountain.

00:23:53.714 --> 00:23:55.554
VIRGINIA: So not a coaster person, right?

00:23:55.554 --> 00:23:58.834
VIRGINIA: How did he feel about Space Mountain?

00:23:58.834 --> 00:24:01.494
HAILEY: He was not the biggest fan.

00:24:01.514 --> 00:24:02.234
HAILEY: He didn't like it.

00:24:02.734 --> 00:24:04.834
VIRGINIA: Yeah, it's really jerky lately.

00:24:04.854 --> 00:24:08.954
VIRGINIA: I don't know if you've noticed that, but it's jerkier than it used to be.

00:24:09.314 --> 00:24:17.154
HAILEY: I've heard a lot of people say, I mean, me personally, I normally get a lightning lane for it, so I'm on the right-hand side.

00:24:17.314 --> 00:24:24.354
HAILEY: I've heard a lot of people say that the standby, the left-hand side is less jerky than the right-hand side.

00:24:24.374 --> 00:24:32.194
VIRGINIA: Okay, I'm gonna have to pay attention for that because I don't typically pay attention for which side I went on and how it felt that particular time.

00:24:32.774 --> 00:24:34.074
VIRGINIA: Gonna have to do that for research.

00:24:34.534 --> 00:24:43.834
HAILEY: Yeah, but I had somebody, they even said that they were in the lightning lane, but they got pulled to go, or no, they were in standby.

00:24:43.834 --> 00:24:54.974
HAILEY: Sorry, they were in the standby line, so they should have been going on the left side of the coaster, but they got pulled to go on the right-hand side because of the size of their group, and they were upset.

00:24:54.994 --> 00:24:57.214
HAILEY: They're like, oh, this is the jerky side.

00:24:57.234 --> 00:24:59.894
HAILEY: They were upset that they got pulled to go on the right-hand side.

00:24:59.914 --> 00:25:01.834
VIRGINIA: Okay, interesting.

00:25:02.594 --> 00:25:06.454
VIRGINIA: All right, after Space Mountain, where did you head?

00:25:06.914 --> 00:25:08.334
HAILEY: We went to Tron.

00:25:09.194 --> 00:25:10.574
VIRGINIA: All right, Tron.

00:25:10.874 --> 00:25:12.614
VIRGINIA: How did he feel about Tron?

00:25:14.054 --> 00:25:16.614
HAILEY: He said it was okay.

00:25:17.814 --> 00:25:20.954
HAILEY: It was not, obviously, none of the spinning or anything like that.

00:25:21.294 --> 00:25:27.334
HAILEY: I told him when we were getting on, I'm like, just think, if you don't like this, it's going to be over before you know it.

00:25:28.754 --> 00:25:30.634
VIRGINIA: Literally, before you know it, it's over.

00:25:32.534 --> 00:25:41.254
VIRGINIA: All right, so that leaves only seven dwarves as the coaster he hasn't done, because I am not including Barnstormer.

00:25:41.314 --> 00:25:44.054
VIRGINIA: I'm assuming you did not make him ride Barnstormer.

00:25:44.854 --> 00:25:52.494
HAILEY: So he's actually been on both Barnstormer and seven dwarves with her, because our oldest son can go on those two.

00:25:52.834 --> 00:25:53.814
VIRGINIA: Got it, okay.

00:25:54.134 --> 00:25:55.794
HAILEY: So he was on those before.

00:25:57.034 --> 00:25:59.574
VIRGINIA: So did you ever make it over to seven dwarves on this trip?

00:26:00.474 --> 00:26:10.054
HAILEY: The plan was supposed to be, I was going to try and get in like right at the end of the night, but it was hot that day, and we were both just worn out.

00:26:10.274 --> 00:26:43.414
HAILEY: So after Tron, we walked around, he wanted a turkey leg, and I got my cheeseburger spring rolls, and then we watched Happily Ever After, and then we did Buzz and Haunted Mansion, which I think Haunted Mansion must have been down, because when we got out of the stretching room, it was like a mass pile of just people there, and we did not move for like 20 minutes, and it was hot in there.

00:26:44.474 --> 00:26:47.114
VIRGINIA: Did you at any point consider abandoning the line?

00:26:47.354 --> 00:26:52.654
HAILEY: He asked me if we could leave, and then like two minutes after that is when they said, oh, the ride's working.

00:26:55.974 --> 00:26:58.554
VIRGINIA: That's always a hard choice to make if you've been waiting.

00:26:59.114 --> 00:27:05.274
VIRGINIA: What's the point in time when you say I'm willing to give up the waiting I've already done, sacrifice it, and leave?

00:27:06.594 --> 00:27:13.314
VIRGINIA: Because you're right, it could be two minutes later, and the problem is fixed, and maybe you walked off, and I don't know.

00:27:13.774 --> 00:27:15.074
VIRGINIA: That's always a struggle in my head.

00:27:15.094 --> 00:27:15.354
HAILEY: Yeah.

00:27:15.794 --> 00:27:16.414
VIRGINIA: Are we waiting?

00:27:16.434 --> 00:27:16.874
VIRGINIA: What are we doing?

00:27:18.054 --> 00:27:18.514
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:27:19.014 --> 00:27:24.594
VIRGINIA: At that point, it must have been pretty late, so did you do anything else?

00:27:25.594 --> 00:27:25.914
HAILEY: No.

00:27:25.934 --> 00:27:29.654
HAILEY: We were just leaving the park, and we were leaving at about 10.15.

00:27:31.014 --> 00:27:31.494
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:27:31.974 --> 00:27:35.114
VIRGINIA: How long did it take you to catch a bus back to Pop Century?

00:27:35.614 --> 00:27:38.794
HAILEY: It was actually there when we walked out, so.

00:27:38.814 --> 00:27:41.234
VIRGINIA: Oh, you've got good bus karma.

00:27:43.174 --> 00:27:49.894
HAILEY: I think the buses are trying to make my husband like them again, because he despises the Disney buses.

00:27:50.414 --> 00:27:52.514
VIRGINIA: Well, it's his birthday trip, so maybe they knew.

00:27:52.534 --> 00:27:53.534
HAILEY: Yeah, there you go.

00:27:53.594 --> 00:27:54.334
VIRGINIA: I'm going to go with that.

00:27:54.554 --> 00:27:54.994
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:27:54.994 --> 00:28:07.834
VIRGINIA: So day two, which was Saturday, May 25th, you were splitting your day between Animal Kingdom and Hollywood Studios, and you had planned to rope drop Animal Kingdom, which we all know has an earlier start time.

00:28:07.854 --> 00:28:10.314
VIRGINIA: So, did you make it over for a rope drop?

00:28:10.874 --> 00:28:13.674
HAILEY: Yes, but we were later than I wanted to be.

00:28:14.754 --> 00:28:27.194
HAILEY: I actually, like, I must have fallen asleep as soon as, like, I hit the pillow after showering the night before, because I didn't even set an alarm for like 630.

00:28:27.214 --> 00:28:29.074
HAILEY: So he woke me up, he's like, it's seven.

00:28:29.094 --> 00:28:31.314
HAILEY: And I was like, seven?

00:28:31.494 --> 00:28:35.034
HAILEY: I didn't have Jeannie booked, I didn't have like anything booked.

00:28:35.254 --> 00:28:37.294
HAILEY: So I like had to quick hurry up and do that.

00:28:37.554 --> 00:28:47.394
HAILEY: And the plan was supposed to be, I was going to buy an individual lightning lane for a flight of passage, so that we could have like rope dropped Navi River Journey.

00:28:47.934 --> 00:28:52.694
HAILEY: But by the time that I did that, all the morning slots were gone.

00:28:52.714 --> 00:28:56.634
HAILEY: So I was like, well, I guess we have to hurry up because we're waiting in line for it.

00:28:56.874 --> 00:28:57.314
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:28:57.974 --> 00:28:58.454
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:28:58.574 --> 00:29:05.734
VIRGINIA: And I'm imagining a home alone type scenario where you both wake up and start running around and fast forward.

00:29:08.994 --> 00:29:09.394
HAILEY: Yep.

00:29:09.914 --> 00:29:13.414
HAILEY: And then, of course, I still had to put on makeup and then he's like, you want to go.

00:29:13.434 --> 00:29:15.694
HAILEY: And I'm like, but I can't put on my makeup first.

00:29:17.874 --> 00:29:22.474
VIRGINIA: But I think that every girly has a speed makeup routine.

00:29:22.814 --> 00:29:27.134
VIRGINIA: So you have shortcuts you can do and you just speed through it as quickly as possible.

00:29:27.914 --> 00:29:29.474
VIRGINIA: So what time did you make it out the door?

00:29:30.514 --> 00:29:37.554
HAILEY: So they were supposed to open for early entry at I want to say 730 because the park opened at 8.

00:29:38.074 --> 00:29:40.694
HAILEY: We were walking in at 750.

00:29:41.354 --> 00:29:46.934
VIRGINIA: Okay, that is not too bad considering you woke up at 7 and had to take a bus over there.

00:29:47.854 --> 00:29:49.114
VIRGINIA: Okay, well done.

00:29:50.794 --> 00:29:51.214
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:29:51.294 --> 00:29:56.174
VIRGINIA: And heading straight over to Flight of Passage, how was the line?

00:29:57.714 --> 00:30:09.914
HAILEY: I think it took us, let's see, so we got in line at like 7, maybe like 8 o'clock and we're getting on the ride.

00:30:09.934 --> 00:30:16.094
HAILEY: I would say maybe like, I was sitting in the ride vehicle at 9.

00:30:16.334 --> 00:30:20.314
HAILEY: So maybe like an hour to get through the line and the pre-show.

00:30:21.254 --> 00:30:24.514
VIRGINIA: Not what you had hoped, but at least you got to do it.

00:30:24.914 --> 00:30:28.474
VIRGINIA: While you were over there, did you try to do Navi River right after?

00:30:29.014 --> 00:30:32.974
HAILEY: We did not because of the fact that I used Jeannie.

00:30:32.994 --> 00:30:39.834
HAILEY: I had booked our first Jeannie selection for Slinky Dog for when we were at Hollywood Studios later.

00:30:41.314 --> 00:30:45.654
HAILEY: And I couldn't book anything else yet because of how late it was.

00:30:45.734 --> 00:30:54.374
HAILEY: And by the time we got off of Flight of Passage, Navi was already at like 45 minutes, which is longer than I'm willing to wait for that ride.

00:30:54.874 --> 00:30:55.294
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:30:55.534 --> 00:30:55.894
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:30:55.914 --> 00:31:05.074
VIRGINIA: And especially when you're only going to be spending half of your day before you park hop, that's eating a lot of time and you've already eaten an hour in Flight of Passage.

00:31:05.494 --> 00:31:05.874
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:31:05.894 --> 00:31:07.314
VIRGINIA: So what did you do instead?

00:31:08.594 --> 00:31:14.054
HAILEY: After we got off the ride, we went through the Wind Traders, the store, and they have these new...

00:31:14.074 --> 00:31:23.514
HAILEY: So I'm sure a lot of people know they have like the shoulder banshees that you can get, but they actually now have new little ones that can go on your wrist and they like...

00:31:23.534 --> 00:31:25.754
VIRGINIA: Oh, that also moves around and stuff?

00:31:26.074 --> 00:31:26.294
HAILEY: Mm-hmm.

00:31:26.374 --> 00:31:31.474
HAILEY: And they can talk to each other and you like tap their back and their wings fly and everything.

00:31:32.114 --> 00:31:44.734
HAILEY: And like I said before, I'm not an avatar, like crazed person, but I was wearing an avatar like leotard that I made and I was like I need it.

00:31:44.934 --> 00:31:48.014
HAILEY: And I bought Avatar Ears to complete my look too.

00:31:50.234 --> 00:31:51.534
VIRGINIA: Happy birthday, husband.

00:31:51.614 --> 00:31:53.554
VIRGINIA: I'm getting Avatar Ears.

00:31:53.714 --> 00:31:55.534
HAILEY: That's exactly what happened.

00:31:58.314 --> 00:32:02.394
HAILEY: And then when we left there, we went right out to like the Pongu Pongu.

00:32:02.414 --> 00:32:11.834
HAILEY: We got the Hog's Gragale beer, the Night Blossom and the stuffed pancake sandwich.

00:32:12.914 --> 00:32:13.254
VIRGINIA: Oh, okay.

00:32:13.254 --> 00:32:18.454
HAILEY: And one of the pineapple lupias, I think it's called.

00:32:19.154 --> 00:32:20.154
HAILEY: So we got all those.

00:32:20.374 --> 00:32:22.674
VIRGINIA: How was the pancake sandwich?

00:32:22.694 --> 00:32:23.614
VIRGINIA: Because I've never had that.

00:32:24.074 --> 00:32:25.214
HAILEY: I thought it was really good.

00:32:25.234 --> 00:32:30.074
HAILEY: It actually has like a guava jelly in it too, which sounded interesting.

00:32:30.634 --> 00:32:32.074
HAILEY: You can actually get it without it.

00:32:33.394 --> 00:32:35.834
HAILEY: But we got it with and I thought it was really good.

00:32:36.294 --> 00:32:36.674
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:32:36.814 --> 00:32:37.274
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:32:37.394 --> 00:32:40.074
VIRGINIA: I don't think I've ever noticed in particular there.

00:32:40.094 --> 00:32:44.534
VIRGINIA: I've had the pineapple lupia and we usually get the pretzel there.

00:32:44.694 --> 00:32:46.854
VIRGINIA: But I'm going to pay attention for the pancake.

00:32:47.194 --> 00:32:52.734
HAILEY: When I went in January, I was on a trip with my sister.

00:32:52.754 --> 00:33:02.054
HAILEY: I went to Animal Kingdom and I was walking around in the morning and I saw a sign at like every stand for this pancake sandwich.

00:33:02.474 --> 00:33:04.754
HAILEY: And I was mad at myself that I didn't get it then.

00:33:04.794 --> 00:33:10.894
HAILEY: So when we saw it there, I was like, we're getting it because I have regrets from last time.

00:33:11.794 --> 00:33:14.894
VIRGINIA: So what was the next order of business?

00:33:15.354 --> 00:33:26.814
HAILEY: I took a little, with my new avatar ears and my little banshee, had to do like some photos in Pandora with the backdrop because I love it there.

00:33:27.054 --> 00:33:36.334
HAILEY: Like I said, I don't know how they do such a great job at making a land so beautiful that I don't really care about, but I could spend hours there.

00:33:37.274 --> 00:33:38.794
VIRGINIA: Same, same.

00:33:40.154 --> 00:33:50.154
HAILEY: And then finally when we left there, we went to, I had to try the coconut coffee that I've been seeing all over Instagram at Kusafari, I think it is.

00:33:50.174 --> 00:33:59.054
HAILEY: So we went over there and that line, my husband was mad that I made him wait in that line because it was in the direct sun and it was probably like a 40-minute wait.

00:33:59.654 --> 00:33:59.974
VIRGINIA: What?

00:34:00.294 --> 00:34:03.554
VIRGINIA: Okay, did they not have a mobile order option?

00:34:04.534 --> 00:34:05.894
HAILEY: Not when I looked, they didn't.

00:34:07.374 --> 00:34:07.774
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:34:08.334 --> 00:34:09.094
VIRGINIA: Was it worth it?

00:34:10.054 --> 00:34:10.654
HAILEY: I thought it was.

00:34:10.674 --> 00:34:11.534
HAILEY: I thought it was pretty good.

00:34:11.754 --> 00:34:14.014
HAILEY: I'm still a black calf girl though.

00:34:14.034 --> 00:34:15.734
HAILEY: That's my favorite Disney coffee.

00:34:16.314 --> 00:34:18.234
VIRGINIA: Oh, the one over in Galaxy's Edge?

00:34:19.154 --> 00:34:23.394
VIRGINIA: Okay, that's the one that I've not tried yet, but it is on my list for this coming weekend.

00:34:23.554 --> 00:34:25.114
VIRGINIA: So, all right.

00:34:26.814 --> 00:34:34.034
HAILEY: And then after that, we decided to go over to Dino Land because he's never ridden Dinosaur before.

00:34:34.454 --> 00:34:35.754
VIRGINIA: Oh yes, all right.

00:34:35.774 --> 00:34:38.274
HAILEY: So I had to get that in before it changes.

00:34:38.694 --> 00:34:44.014
HAILEY: And while I was looking at the app, I realized that it was Goofy's birthday.

00:34:46.354 --> 00:34:51.894
HAILEY: And like I said, he is not a character person, but I like kind of sneaky about it.

00:34:51.954 --> 00:34:53.974
HAILEY: I'm like, let's go in this store.

00:34:53.994 --> 00:35:02.334
HAILEY: So we like went in the store and then we walked out the back and there was like one, it was very like 15 minutes before he was supposed to come out.

00:35:02.894 --> 00:35:04.594
HAILEY: And there was like two people waiting.

00:35:04.614 --> 00:35:07.334
HAILEY: I'm like, look, how Goofy supposed to come out.

00:35:07.354 --> 00:35:08.734
HAILEY: Like, let's just wait here.

00:35:09.454 --> 00:35:11.174
HAILEY: So I waited in the line.

00:35:11.194 --> 00:35:17.814
HAILEY: He went to grab like a beer from the little cart that's right there next to the Chester and Hester store.

00:35:18.594 --> 00:35:20.694
HAILEY: And then by the time he came back, Goofy was there.

00:35:20.714 --> 00:35:22.514
HAILEY: And I'm like, see, it's not bad.

00:35:22.534 --> 00:35:25.334
HAILEY: Like we waited like five minutes to meet Goofy.

00:35:26.434 --> 00:35:30.954
HAILEY: And he actually liked it because I was telling Goofy that it was his birthday the day before.

00:35:30.974 --> 00:35:33.094
HAILEY: So they bonded over that.

00:35:33.534 --> 00:35:39.554
HAILEY: And then my husband, when I share pictures, you'll see, he has a curly mustache.

00:35:39.594 --> 00:35:42.854
HAILEY: And this is his everyday curly mustache.

00:35:43.194 --> 00:35:45.834
HAILEY: So Goofy was like going crazy over it.

00:35:45.854 --> 00:35:50.714
HAILEY: Like I have pictures of him going like this, saying that he wanted his mustache.

00:35:50.994 --> 00:35:56.194
VIRGINIA: That's like how the Tim Tracker used to have his mustache back in the day.

00:35:58.474 --> 00:35:59.694
VIRGINIA: I can't wait to see those pictures.

00:36:00.094 --> 00:36:05.594
HAILEY: So we did that meet and greet before we went over to ride Dinosaur.

00:36:06.794 --> 00:36:09.394
HAILEY: And then he loved Dinosaur.

00:36:09.414 --> 00:36:10.794
HAILEY: He said it was one of his favorite rides.

00:36:12.034 --> 00:36:14.314
VIRGINIA: And now it's not going to go away.

00:36:15.074 --> 00:36:16.474
VIRGINIA: Just in time for it to go away.

00:36:16.814 --> 00:36:17.234
HAILEY: Yeah.

00:36:19.994 --> 00:36:31.774
HAILEY: And then after we met, oh, and then I was like, well, we're here and we're going to go meet Chippendale because those dinosaur costumes are my favorite thing ever.

00:36:34.274 --> 00:36:38.854
HAILEY: So we went to meet Dino Chippendale and then he was hungry.

00:36:39.594 --> 00:36:48.634
HAILEY: So I got a foot long chili cheese dog from Restaurantasaurus while we were waiting for our check in for Nomad Lounge.

00:36:49.614 --> 00:36:51.474
VIRGINIA: Oh, you did get a Nomad Lounge.

00:36:51.574 --> 00:36:52.214
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:36:52.774 --> 00:36:53.314
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:36:53.374 --> 00:36:54.994
VIRGINIA: How long did you end up having to wait?

00:36:55.794 --> 00:36:58.414
HAILEY: I think it said it was like 20 minutes.

00:36:59.774 --> 00:37:00.154
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:37:00.174 --> 00:37:01.954
HAILEY: So it wasn't long at all.

00:37:02.354 --> 00:37:02.734
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:37:02.754 --> 00:37:03.614
VIRGINIA: What did you get in there?

00:37:07.874 --> 00:37:09.414
HAILEY: I got the watermelon one.

00:37:09.994 --> 00:37:11.234
HAILEY: There was two different ones.

00:37:11.294 --> 00:37:12.814
HAILEY: I remembered we talked about it last time.

00:37:12.834 --> 00:37:16.014
HAILEY: It was like the watermelon margarita is the one that I got.

00:37:16.034 --> 00:37:16.254
VIRGINIA: Yes.

00:37:16.594 --> 00:37:16.934
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:37:16.954 --> 00:37:21.794
VIRGINIA: That's the one I suspected you were talking about because I did look it up afterwards and I was like, I'm not sure.

00:37:21.814 --> 00:37:23.394
VIRGINIA: There's multiple watermelon things.

00:37:23.814 --> 00:37:25.834
VIRGINIA: So it was the watermelon margarita.

00:37:25.854 --> 00:37:26.194
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:37:26.294 --> 00:37:26.814
VIRGINIA: How was it?

00:37:27.474 --> 00:37:28.194
HAILEY: I liked it.

00:37:28.274 --> 00:37:29.014
HAILEY: I thought it was good.

00:37:30.354 --> 00:37:35.634
HAILEY: And then I can't remember the name of the one that he got, but it was like a fruity red drink.

00:37:36.194 --> 00:37:37.434
HAILEY: And he really liked it.

00:37:37.454 --> 00:37:38.534
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:37:38.534 --> 00:37:40.274
VIRGINIA: And did you get anything to eat in Nomad?

00:37:40.654 --> 00:37:41.754
HAILEY: We got the churros.

00:37:42.354 --> 00:37:42.814
VIRGINIA: Yes.

00:37:43.214 --> 00:37:45.254
VIRGINIA: I was hoping you would say that.

00:37:45.294 --> 00:37:45.694
VIRGINIA: Yes.

00:37:45.814 --> 00:37:46.854
VIRGINIA: Love those churros.

00:37:47.174 --> 00:37:47.774
VIRGINIA: So good.

00:37:48.374 --> 00:37:48.994
HAILEY: They were good.

00:37:49.374 --> 00:37:51.914
HAILEY: I felt very bad because we left like two.

00:37:51.934 --> 00:37:55.554
HAILEY: We couldn't eat them all because we had, he just had a foot long hot dog.

00:37:55.594 --> 00:37:59.094
HAILEY: I had like a chocolate twist when I got my coffee.

00:37:59.634 --> 00:38:02.234
HAILEY: But I was like, I'm not letting all of these go to waste.

00:38:02.254 --> 00:38:04.974
HAILEY: So I'm just sitting there like full, but I'm like, but I have to eat them.

00:38:04.994 --> 00:38:05.534
HAILEY: They're so good.

00:38:08.814 --> 00:38:15.254
VIRGINIA: I got some when I was on my solo trip and I was sitting at the bar and I couldn't finish them because I had ordered like that and something else.

00:38:15.374 --> 00:38:16.514
VIRGINIA: And it was just me.

00:38:17.254 --> 00:38:25.834
VIRGINIA: And I started talking to the people next to me and I was like, I know this is weird and I'm a stranger, but I'm not going to finish these churros if you'd like to get them.

00:38:25.854 --> 00:38:27.094
VIRGINIA: And they had never had them before.

00:38:27.114 --> 00:38:28.194
VIRGINIA: So they took them.

00:38:28.214 --> 00:38:31.374
VIRGINIA: I was like, I don't want you to think I'm weird or have germs.

00:38:31.634 --> 00:38:34.694
VIRGINIA: I mean, everybody has germs, but you know what I mean.

00:38:34.974 --> 00:38:37.674
VIRGINIA: But I hated to see them go to the waste because they're so good.

00:38:38.314 --> 00:38:39.994
VIRGINIA: Please take them.

00:38:40.314 --> 00:38:41.334
VIRGINIA: Someone else enjoy them.

00:38:41.914 --> 00:38:43.014
HAILEY: Yeah, they were good.

00:38:43.034 --> 00:38:45.774
HAILEY: I was a fan of the vanilla sauce.

00:38:45.974 --> 00:38:46.554
VIRGINIA: Oh, me too.

00:38:46.574 --> 00:38:47.234
VIRGINIA: That's my favorite.

00:38:47.254 --> 00:38:48.314
VIRGINIA: They need more of that sauce.

00:38:50.254 --> 00:38:56.374
HAILEY: And then when we were sitting there, it was nice because I heard that they got rid of a lot of the flotillas that go by.

00:38:56.494 --> 00:39:00.454
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I think that they've nixed them all together from what I've heard.

00:39:00.514 --> 00:39:03.614
HAILEY: They still have the ones with the drummers go by.

00:39:03.634 --> 00:39:05.674
VIRGINIA: Oh, so it's just not the characters.

00:39:06.654 --> 00:39:07.254
VIRGINIA: You know what?

00:39:07.414 --> 00:39:08.834
VIRGINIA: I wish they would say that then.

00:39:08.954 --> 00:39:14.474
VIRGINIA: Because when they said they were getting rid of the flotillas, I thought it was all of them.

00:39:15.134 --> 00:39:20.534
VIRGINIA: And I was like, well, that's not cool just to have water with nothing happening in it.

00:39:20.554 --> 00:39:25.054
VIRGINIA: Because that's so cool to be standing there and see something happening on the water.

00:39:25.074 --> 00:39:26.134
VIRGINIA: So I'm glad to hear this.

00:39:27.454 --> 00:39:31.474
HAILEY: So I posted a little video on Instagram of them going by.

00:39:31.494 --> 00:39:33.094
HAILEY: And I had a lot of people message me.

00:39:33.114 --> 00:39:35.114
HAILEY: And they're like, I thought they were stopping doing that.

00:39:35.134 --> 00:39:36.494
HAILEY: And I'm like, from what I...

00:39:36.814 --> 00:39:39.114
HAILEY: I mean, I'm sitting right here and they're going by with the drummer.

00:39:39.134 --> 00:39:43.994
HAILEY: So my assumption would be that it's just the character ones that have stopped.

00:39:44.434 --> 00:39:52.774
VIRGINIA: Yeah, which I mean, I guess if you're going to cut something, that sort of makes sense.

00:39:52.794 --> 00:40:01.314
VIRGINIA: But yeah, they should have made their announcement a little bit more clear because it felt a lot more dire than it sounds like it actually is.

00:40:02.174 --> 00:40:02.514
HAILEY: Yeah.

00:40:02.934 --> 00:40:12.114
HAILEY: And then after that, while we were sitting at Nomad Lounge, I actually realized that my wrist banshee, I named him Preston.

00:40:15.474 --> 00:40:21.594
HAILEY: Somebody asked if I had a name for him when we were in one of the character lines, and my husband was very quick, just like Preston.

00:40:21.614 --> 00:40:23.934
HAILEY: And I'm like, all right, well, I guess that's his name now.

00:40:24.834 --> 00:40:26.654
VIRGINIA: Very distinguished name for a banshee.

00:40:27.434 --> 00:40:31.854
HAILEY: But we realized that at some point he lost his wings.

00:40:33.074 --> 00:40:39.754
HAILEY: So we're like, okay, let's go back to the store and see if they have an extra set or something that you can buy.

00:40:39.834 --> 00:40:44.174
HAILEY: I guess they just pop on and off, which I didn't know when we bought it.

00:40:45.674 --> 00:40:52.654
HAILEY: So before we left, we went back over there and they had an extra set in the back that they gave me.

00:40:53.014 --> 00:40:54.454
VIRGINIA: I bet that happens all the time.

00:40:55.074 --> 00:40:55.314
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:40:55.334 --> 00:40:56.254
HAILEY: They're like, oh, they come off.

00:40:56.274 --> 00:40:58.414
HAILEY: And I'm like, I wish I knew that ahead of time.

00:40:58.434 --> 00:40:59.094
HAILEY: Because you know what I mean?

00:40:59.114 --> 00:41:03.194
HAILEY: Like I was riding with it on Dinosaur and meeting all of the characters.

00:41:03.214 --> 00:41:08.314
HAILEY: It happened sometime between meeting Goofy and meeting Chip and Dale.

00:41:08.334 --> 00:41:15.854
HAILEY: So I don't know if it was like I knocked their wings off, like giving them a hug or if it was Dinosaur, all that like jerking around.

00:41:15.874 --> 00:41:19.394
HAILEY: But thankfully they had another set in the back.

00:41:19.874 --> 00:41:22.594
HAILEY: So Preston is now complete again.

00:41:26.354 --> 00:41:28.834
HAILEY: And then after that, we headed to the buses.

00:41:28.854 --> 00:41:30.054
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:41:30.294 --> 00:41:44.454
VIRGINIA: Now, because you are a Disney girly who cares about your Disney outfits and you were very much dressed in the style of Pandora, am I correct in assuming that there might have been a costume change at some point in the park hopping?

00:41:44.854 --> 00:41:47.054
HAILEY: We went back to Pop, actually.

00:41:48.234 --> 00:41:51.714
HAILEY: To my husband's neck fan died while we were in Animal Kingdom.

00:41:51.734 --> 00:42:01.194
HAILEY: So we went back for a few minutes, let him charge that, got a drink, and then I changed so we could take the Skyliner over to Hollywood.

00:42:02.234 --> 00:42:02.694
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:42:03.334 --> 00:42:07.194
VIRGINIA: So what time did you end up getting over to Hollywood Studios?

00:42:08.454 --> 00:42:13.934
HAILEY: We were walking in at about 2.40.

00:42:14.674 --> 00:42:14.914
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:42:15.714 --> 00:42:19.554
HAILEY: And that's right when we had a reservation for Oga's.

00:42:20.194 --> 00:42:20.694
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:42:20.854 --> 00:42:21.334
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:42:22.534 --> 00:42:25.754
VIRGINIA: What did you end up getting at Oga's?

00:42:25.774 --> 00:42:28.894
HAILEY: I get the Yub Nub.

00:42:29.454 --> 00:42:38.534
HAILEY: It's like the one that comes in the souvenir mug, which I don't ever keep the mug because if you keep it, the drink's like $40-some.

00:42:41.114 --> 00:42:47.054
HAILEY: So I just get the mug to drink it and leave it because I don't need a $40 mug.

00:42:47.314 --> 00:42:47.694
VIRGINIA: Right.

00:42:48.954 --> 00:42:52.854
HAILEY: And he got the fuzzy tauntaun as his first drink.

00:42:53.854 --> 00:42:54.314
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:42:55.094 --> 00:42:56.454
VIRGINIA: Any snacks there?

00:42:57.154 --> 00:42:58.034
HAILEY: No, not there.

00:42:58.054 --> 00:42:59.574
HAILEY: We have plans to eat other snacks.

00:43:00.154 --> 00:43:02.214
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I don't love the snacks at Oga's.

00:43:02.894 --> 00:43:06.394
VIRGINIA: The only one I kind of like is the one that's jello with Pop Rocks.

00:43:06.414 --> 00:43:11.374
VIRGINIA: But that's not really going to give you anything to fill you up.

00:43:11.554 --> 00:43:19.594
HAILEY: When we went in November last year with our kids, that was my husband's first time doing it, was last year with the kids.

00:43:20.114 --> 00:43:30.254
HAILEY: And they loved it because we were standing at the bar top and the people behind the bar just kept constantly giving them the little boba balls.

00:43:30.434 --> 00:43:32.534
HAILEY: They each had their own dish of those.

00:43:33.114 --> 00:43:34.014
HAILEY: So they loved it.

00:43:34.034 --> 00:43:35.754
HAILEY: They thought it was the best thing in the world.

00:43:37.774 --> 00:43:43.794
HAILEY: But my husband was excited to go back without the kids.

00:43:44.434 --> 00:43:48.174
HAILEY: And actually the Stormtroopers came in when we were in there.

00:43:48.254 --> 00:43:49.834
VIRGINIA: Oh, they came into Oga's?

00:43:50.814 --> 00:43:51.634
VIRGINIA: Interesting.

00:43:51.634 --> 00:43:53.014
VIRGINIA: I've never seen that happen.

00:43:54.674 --> 00:43:55.714
HAILEY: Yeah, they came in.

00:43:55.994 --> 00:44:00.274
HAILEY: They came right up to me and they're like, we need to see your credentials.

00:44:00.314 --> 00:44:01.894
HAILEY: And I'm like, I don't have them.

00:44:04.754 --> 00:44:06.114
HAILEY: They're like, no, we're just kidding.

00:44:06.134 --> 00:44:07.754
HAILEY: It's just fun to do that in a bar.

00:44:11.494 --> 00:44:12.954
VIRGINIA: Where did you head after Oga's?

00:44:13.314 --> 00:44:16.514
HAILEY: He wanted to try the blue milk.

00:44:16.534 --> 00:44:17.594
HAILEY: So he tried the blue milk.

00:44:17.834 --> 00:44:20.474
HAILEY: I think the blue one is the one that you can get with the rum.

00:44:20.894 --> 00:44:22.234
HAILEY: He tried that.

00:44:22.474 --> 00:44:23.354
HAILEY: He liked that.

00:44:24.254 --> 00:44:27.894
HAILEY: And then we went to Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run.

00:44:28.774 --> 00:44:30.314
VIRGINIA: Did you have a lightning lane for it?

00:44:30.754 --> 00:44:31.234
HAILEY: We did.

00:44:31.614 --> 00:44:31.994
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:44:32.454 --> 00:44:40.134
HAILEY: We went in and I was thinking about asking to be the pilot because it was his first time doing it.

00:44:41.094 --> 00:44:43.014
HAILEY: But I didn't ask fast enough.

00:44:43.114 --> 00:44:48.154
HAILEY: So we got put with a group and we were the engineers.

00:44:48.934 --> 00:44:49.334
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:44:49.954 --> 00:44:52.354
HAILEY: So it was meh.

00:44:53.494 --> 00:44:55.154
VIRGINIA: How did he like it as a first time?

00:44:55.174 --> 00:44:56.954
HAILEY: He liked it.

00:44:57.474 --> 00:44:58.514
HAILEY: He liked it a lot.

00:44:59.554 --> 00:45:01.854
HAILEY: And said that he would definitely like to do it again.

00:45:01.874 --> 00:45:03.694
HAILEY: And be the pilot?

00:45:03.854 --> 00:45:04.274
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:45:04.294 --> 00:45:09.494
HAILEY: He was like, when we walked off, he was like, if I was with my friend, we could have did that so much better.

00:45:11.854 --> 00:45:12.854
VIRGINIA: It's hard though.

00:45:12.954 --> 00:45:15.714
VIRGINIA: It's really hard because it's not like a normal piloting.

00:45:15.734 --> 00:45:19.034
VIRGINIA: You're either controlling up and down or you're controlling side to side.

00:45:19.914 --> 00:45:20.534
VIRGINIA: Not both.

00:45:20.694 --> 00:45:22.594
VIRGINIA: And that's not natural.

00:45:22.774 --> 00:45:24.194
VIRGINIA: So it's tough.

00:45:26.814 --> 00:45:32.874
HAILEY: And then after that, I got my coffee because it's like my favorite thing in Batuu.

00:45:33.414 --> 00:45:39.774
HAILEY: And then we saw the Mandalorian walking around.

00:45:39.874 --> 00:45:40.294
VIRGINIA: And Goku?

00:45:40.934 --> 00:45:41.314
HAILEY: Yes.

00:45:41.834 --> 00:45:44.814
HAILEY: So we had to stop and get a picture with them.

00:45:46.214 --> 00:45:52.174
HAILEY: And then we went back walking towards the other.

00:45:52.194 --> 00:45:57.714
HAILEY: So we were walking towards the front of the park because we were going to Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway next.

00:45:59.594 --> 00:46:00.514
HAILEY: We love that ride.

00:46:00.534 --> 00:46:01.514
VIRGINIA: Oh, me too.

00:46:01.794 --> 00:46:02.414
VIRGINIA: Me too.

00:46:04.434 --> 00:46:09.134
HAILEY: And then after Mickey and Minnie's, we went to a baseline tap house.

00:46:09.814 --> 00:46:11.414
HAILEY: It was both our first time there.

00:46:12.074 --> 00:46:12.434
HAILEY: All right.

00:46:12.454 --> 00:46:13.334
VIRGINIA: How did you like it?

00:46:14.234 --> 00:46:15.074
HAILEY: I loved it.

00:46:15.094 --> 00:46:16.434
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I do too.

00:46:16.614 --> 00:46:25.394
VIRGINIA: I love sitting outside and watching people walk past and getting the charcuterie board or whatever.

00:46:25.754 --> 00:46:28.434
HAILEY: We got that and we got the beer flight.

00:46:30.174 --> 00:46:33.474
HAILEY: And I let him have the three beers and I just wanted the ale.

00:46:33.994 --> 00:46:41.374
HAILEY: And then we ended up liking, I liked the ale and he liked one of the ones that he got enough that we went back and got full-size ones of them.

00:46:41.394 --> 00:46:43.014
HAILEY: And we were just sitting there.

00:46:43.454 --> 00:46:45.534
HAILEY: And then out of nowhere, it started pouring.

00:46:45.554 --> 00:46:46.614
VIRGINIA: Ooh, okay.

00:46:47.214 --> 00:46:50.214
HAILEY: So it was maybe like 10 minutes.

00:46:50.894 --> 00:46:54.854
HAILEY: At first, when it was raining, we were in the corner, so we weren't getting wet at all.

00:46:55.214 --> 00:47:00.414
HAILEY: And then after 10, 15 minutes, it started with the wind, so getting us.

00:47:00.434 --> 00:47:01.274
HAILEY: So we're like, all right.

00:47:01.294 --> 00:47:06.894
HAILEY: So we went and we stood inside, baseline for a few minutes and let it clear up.

00:47:07.194 --> 00:47:10.834
HAILEY: And probably like all in all passed in like 20 minutes.

00:47:11.714 --> 00:47:12.914
HAILEY: So nothing too crazy.

00:47:13.374 --> 00:47:20.454
HAILEY: And then we were walking towards Toy Story Land, but we saw that rise was down.

00:47:20.474 --> 00:47:25.194
HAILEY: So we're like, oh, well, like, let's just hang out here for like a few minutes, you know, see if it comes up.

00:47:25.214 --> 00:47:27.814
HAILEY: Because if it does, then we can be like one of the first people on.

00:47:27.834 --> 00:47:30.814
HAILEY: And it was not coming up.

00:47:30.834 --> 00:47:38.814
HAILEY: So we're like, OK, and kept going towards Toy Story Land, which then it was finally time to use our lightning lane for Slinky.

00:47:39.674 --> 00:47:40.934
HAILEY: And then Slinky was down.

00:47:41.434 --> 00:47:45.234
HAILEY: But not for weather, they said, just down.

00:47:45.254 --> 00:47:47.814
HAILEY: So we're like, OK.

00:47:47.954 --> 00:47:56.194
HAILEY: So we grabbed some snacks at Woody's lunchbox and did Toy Story mania while we were waiting.

00:47:56.994 --> 00:47:58.474
HAILEY: And it still didn't come up yet.

00:47:58.494 --> 00:48:00.654
HAILEY: So we're like, well, what do we do?

00:48:01.074 --> 00:48:03.634
HAILEY: We already did most of the other rides.

00:48:04.374 --> 00:48:05.754
HAILEY: And Rise was down.

00:48:05.754 --> 00:48:07.114
HAILEY: Slinky Dog was down.

00:48:07.574 --> 00:48:12.014
HAILEY: So we hopped on a boat to Epcot.

00:48:12.014 --> 00:48:12.614
VIRGINIA: Oh, OK.

00:48:12.954 --> 00:48:15.374
VIRGINIA: Plot twist.

00:48:16.074 --> 00:48:17.374
VIRGINIA: Quick question before that.

00:48:17.414 --> 00:48:25.254
VIRGINIA: So when you are not able to ride something you had a lightning lane for, you can do something else.

00:48:25.354 --> 00:48:27.634
VIRGINIA: So there was nothing else you wanted to do there.

00:48:27.734 --> 00:48:32.514
VIRGINIA: And it usually has to be in the same park that the ride was in that you couldn't ride.

00:48:32.534 --> 00:48:34.154
VIRGINIA: So you just gave it up?

00:48:35.294 --> 00:48:36.334
HAILEY: I was holding out hope.

00:48:36.354 --> 00:48:39.274
HAILEY: We were coming back to Hollywood.

00:48:39.294 --> 00:48:43.674
HAILEY: So I was holding out hope that it would be open by the time we came back.

00:48:44.074 --> 00:48:44.334
VIRGINIA: Oh, OK.

00:48:44.354 --> 00:48:47.334
HAILEY: So I didn't want to waste it on anything else at that point.

00:48:47.754 --> 00:48:48.214
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:48:48.274 --> 00:48:52.034
VIRGINIA: So what did you do over at Epcot and how long were you there for?

00:48:52.654 --> 00:48:57.474
HAILEY: So when we took the boat over, there was actually one of the captains on the boat.

00:48:57.574 --> 00:49:03.694
HAILEY: He asked whose birthday was on board and they started seeing like whole boat.

00:49:03.694 --> 00:49:06.654
HAILEY: He got to sing happy birthday to everybody whose birthday.

00:49:06.714 --> 00:49:13.014
HAILEY: So I, of course, had to take the opportunity to embarrass my husband and have the whole boat sing happy birthday to him.

00:49:13.034 --> 00:49:23.194
HAILEY: And then when we got to Epcot, we just walked in and it was about sunset.

00:49:23.294 --> 00:49:28.894
HAILEY: So I'm looking at all of the pictures and I have, we walked through like the topiaries in like Japan and Germany.

00:49:29.854 --> 00:49:34.814
HAILEY: And the main reason for us going there was he wanted the pretzel bread.

00:49:34.834 --> 00:49:37.034
VIRGINIA: Oh, the pretzel bread pudding?

00:49:37.694 --> 00:49:40.114
HAILEY: No, the one from Flower and Garden.

00:49:40.154 --> 00:49:43.254
HAILEY: It's like ham and cheese, like pretzel bread sandwich.

00:49:43.334 --> 00:49:43.954
VIRGINIA: Oh, okay.

00:49:44.174 --> 00:49:44.534
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:49:44.814 --> 00:49:45.274
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:49:45.674 --> 00:49:46.654
VIRGINIA: So how was it?

00:49:47.174 --> 00:49:47.854
HAILEY: He loved it.

00:49:47.874 --> 00:49:49.994
HAILEY: It's his favorite thing from Flower and Garden.

00:49:50.434 --> 00:49:50.754
VIRGINIA: Mm-hmm.

00:49:50.794 --> 00:49:51.894
VIRGINIA: I've had that one before.

00:49:51.914 --> 00:49:53.794
VIRGINIA: Yeah, it's good.

00:49:53.994 --> 00:50:00.414
VIRGINIA: I got excited, though, because I thought you were talking about the pretzel bread pudding, which is my absolute favorite and is not a festival-exclusive thing.

00:50:00.434 --> 00:50:02.154
VIRGINIA: So you can get at it anytime.

00:50:02.634 --> 00:50:03.774
HAILEY: I love that bread pudding.

00:50:03.974 --> 00:50:05.194
HAILEY: Yeah.

00:50:05.334 --> 00:50:07.374
HAILEY: And then after he had that, he saw...

00:50:07.794 --> 00:50:13.414
HAILEY: My husband has an obsession with funny hats, if you can't see, like, from the rack behind me.

00:50:13.434 --> 00:50:14.074
VIRGINIA: Uh-huh.

00:50:15.114 --> 00:50:22.694
HAILEY: So he saw some guy with a little, like, German hat on, and we walked through the gift shop, and they had...

00:50:22.714 --> 00:50:31.434
HAILEY: It's like ears, but it has a German hat on the top with a feather on one side and, like, a patch of, like, a pretzel on the other side.

00:50:31.454 --> 00:50:31.974
VIRGINIA: Uh-huh.

00:50:32.454 --> 00:50:34.754
HAILEY: And he loved it, so he had to buy it.

00:50:35.954 --> 00:50:43.314
HAILEY: So, and then we had to go out and take his picture in, like, the middle of the Germany pavilion by the fountain with his new hat.

00:50:43.614 --> 00:50:44.874
VIRGINIA: Okay, fantastic.

00:50:46.334 --> 00:50:48.374
HAILEY: And that was all we went to Epcot for.

00:50:49.334 --> 00:50:50.634
HAILEY: Was that pretzel bread.

00:50:50.654 --> 00:50:53.854
VIRGINIA: Uh-huh, well, that's the beauty of a part-copper ticket, right?

00:50:53.954 --> 00:50:54.274
HAILEY: Yep.

00:50:54.874 --> 00:50:57.194
VIRGINIA: All right, so how did you get back over to Hollywood?

00:50:57.794 --> 00:50:58.674
HAILEY: The Skyliner.

00:50:59.734 --> 00:51:03.114
HAILEY: And it was nice as we were leaving Epcot.

00:51:03.114 --> 00:51:08.174
HAILEY: It was about nine o'clock, because when we were on the Skyliner, that's when the fireworks started going off.

00:51:08.734 --> 00:51:11.254
HAILEY: So we got to watch the Epcot fireworks from the Skyliner.

00:51:11.774 --> 00:51:12.134
VIRGINIA: Mm-hmm.

00:51:12.694 --> 00:51:22.634
HAILEY: And then we got back to Hollywood Studios at about 9.30, and Rise and Slinky Dog were still not open.

00:51:23.434 --> 00:51:24.734
VIRGINIA: Oh, no.

00:51:25.974 --> 00:51:27.714
HAILEY: So we just kind of sat.

00:51:27.814 --> 00:51:30.574
HAILEY: By that time, he was complaining his feet hurt.

00:51:30.594 --> 00:51:32.334
HAILEY: So I'm like, all right, fine.

00:51:32.354 --> 00:51:33.014
HAILEY: We'll just sit.

00:51:33.034 --> 00:51:38.654
HAILEY: So we just sat on Sunset Boulevard, because we were waiting for the 10.30 Fantasmic.

00:51:39.174 --> 00:51:39.594
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:51:40.354 --> 00:51:40.674
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:51:40.674 --> 00:51:50.494
VIRGINIA: I keep waiting for you to say, and then I use the Lightning Lane instead to go ride Tower of Terror while my husband enjoyed a beer.

00:51:50.974 --> 00:51:53.054
HAILEY: I was thinking about it.

00:51:53.474 --> 00:51:56.934
HAILEY: I want to so bad, but the park closed at 10.

00:51:56.954 --> 00:52:02.654
HAILEY: And I'm like, I don't want to, because I didn't know how soon they were going to start letting us in for Fantasmic.

00:52:03.694 --> 00:52:07.134
HAILEY: And I've never been to like the 10.30 show.

00:52:07.154 --> 00:52:11.654
HAILEY: So I didn't know if it got packed, like the nine o'clock show.

00:52:11.734 --> 00:52:18.454
HAILEY: And if they'd be like, oh, like no more capacity, because that almost happened to us one time before for the nine o'clock show.

00:52:18.474 --> 00:52:20.734
HAILEY: Like we were one of the last people that they let in.

00:52:22.634 --> 00:52:25.294
HAILEY: And I was way too worried about that.

00:52:25.314 --> 00:52:27.194
HAILEY: So I did not do it.

00:52:29.554 --> 00:52:30.094
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:52:30.414 --> 00:52:33.054
VIRGINIA: I'm not sure how packed that second showing is.

00:52:33.414 --> 00:52:35.034
VIRGINIA: I'm guessing it's not as packed.

00:52:35.434 --> 00:52:36.334
HAILEY: It was empty.

00:52:36.694 --> 00:52:38.014
VIRGINIA: Yeah, because of the little kids.

00:52:38.554 --> 00:52:40.094
VIRGINIA: They all have to go home and go to bed.

00:52:41.074 --> 00:52:43.494
HAILEY: There was maybe like three sets of bleachers.

00:52:43.494 --> 00:52:47.394
HAILEY: All the way full back, but only three sets of them right in the middle.

00:52:47.974 --> 00:52:50.914
HAILEY: And we sat front row.

00:52:51.734 --> 00:52:53.274
HAILEY: Everybody was like, oh, make it wet.

00:52:53.294 --> 00:52:54.234
HAILEY: And I'm like, I don't care.

00:52:54.414 --> 00:52:55.014
HAILEY: Front row.

00:52:57.194 --> 00:52:58.434
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:52:58.794 --> 00:53:02.174
VIRGINIA: So what time did you end up leaving Hollywood Studios that night?

00:53:02.594 --> 00:53:04.614
HAILEY: We watched Fantasmic.

00:53:04.774 --> 00:53:08.214
HAILEY: And I'd say we were walking out at about 11 o'clock.

00:53:09.494 --> 00:53:09.934
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:53:09.954 --> 00:53:11.294
VIRGINIA: So you closed it down.

00:53:12.814 --> 00:53:19.114
VIRGINIA: I have a note that you had originally planned to go to some of the Boardwalk area bars after.

00:53:19.134 --> 00:53:21.994
VIRGINIA: Did you do that or did you go back to Pop and Collapse?

00:53:22.194 --> 00:53:23.214
HAILEY: No, we went back to Pop.

00:53:25.054 --> 00:53:26.274
VIRGINIA: Yeah, that was a long day.

00:53:26.314 --> 00:53:30.074
VIRGINIA: And because you said it was hot, it probably felt even longer.

00:53:31.434 --> 00:53:31.874
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:53:31.894 --> 00:53:35.154
VIRGINIA: So Sunday, May 26, this is your departure day.

00:53:35.434 --> 00:53:38.134
VIRGINIA: And you had a little bit of time to use.

00:53:38.234 --> 00:53:44.374
VIRGINIA: And so you were planning to head over to Disney Springs for Homecoming at 9 a.m.

00:53:44.894 --> 00:53:46.354
VIRGINIA: So how was that?

00:53:46.374 --> 00:53:48.054
HAILEY: So it was good.

00:53:48.074 --> 00:53:57.814
HAILEY: I actually woke up ahead of time because when we went to Topolino's on Friday, I remembered how much I love La Petite.

00:53:58.434 --> 00:53:59.374
HAILEY: And I was like, you know what?

00:53:59.434 --> 00:54:00.614
HAILEY: I'm on the Skyliner.

00:54:00.634 --> 00:54:05.894
HAILEY: I woke up at like 730 and I was like, I'm going to go get coffee.

00:54:06.354 --> 00:54:07.994
HAILEY: So I woke up by myself.

00:54:08.094 --> 00:54:09.974
HAILEY: I let my husband sleep a little bit longer.

00:54:10.854 --> 00:54:17.194
HAILEY: And I took the Skyliner over and got my coffee from La Petite by myself.

00:54:17.834 --> 00:54:18.954
VIRGINIA: What do you usually get there?

00:54:19.554 --> 00:54:23.414
HAILEY: I get a hazelnut iced latte with oat milk.

00:54:26.154 --> 00:54:27.574
VIRGINIA: I love their cold brews there.

00:54:27.714 --> 00:54:28.254
VIRGINIA: So good.

00:54:28.274 --> 00:54:29.474
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:54:29.594 --> 00:54:33.554
VIRGINIA: Anything else or did you hold off on getting anything to eat because of them?

00:54:33.774 --> 00:54:35.294
HAILEY: I was going to get the banana bread.

00:54:35.314 --> 00:54:35.814
HAILEY: I saw it.

00:54:35.834 --> 00:54:37.094
HAILEY: I was like, oh, I should do it.

00:54:37.094 --> 00:54:38.234
HAILEY: And then I was like, you know what?

00:54:38.854 --> 00:54:41.614
HAILEY: No, I'm coming back in two weeks.

00:54:41.994 --> 00:54:43.954
HAILEY: I was like, I'll be on the Skyliner again.

00:54:44.574 --> 00:54:49.874
HAILEY: I'll get it then because I didn't want to spoil my appetite for homecoming.

00:54:50.094 --> 00:54:50.394
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:54:54.834 --> 00:54:57.934
VIRGINIA: So what ended up happening with getting over to Disney Springs?

00:54:57.954 --> 00:54:59.294
VIRGINIA: Everything go well with that?

00:55:00.094 --> 00:55:04.174
HAILEY: So I got back to Pop.

00:55:04.954 --> 00:55:06.314
HAILEY: He was awake by that time.

00:55:06.454 --> 00:55:13.734
HAILEY: We packed up the room and we were going to go drop off our backpacks with Bell Services.

00:55:14.054 --> 00:55:18.334
HAILEY: But then we decided that it would be easier since we only had two backpacks.

00:55:19.234 --> 00:55:21.374
HAILEY: We were like, oh, we'll just take them to Disney Springs.

00:55:21.374 --> 00:55:25.494
HAILEY: So then we can just Uber from Disney Springs to the airport when we were ready.

00:55:26.694 --> 00:55:32.754
HAILEY: So we packed up all our stuff and we went down to go wait for the Disney Springs bus.

00:55:33.814 --> 00:55:40.274
HAILEY: And while we were there, I realized like, oh, it says the bus isn't even supposed to get here until 930.

00:55:40.414 --> 00:55:42.294
HAILEY: And our reservation was supposed to be at 930.

00:55:43.554 --> 00:55:51.194
HAILEY: So I tried to modify it on the Disney app and it was too close, obviously.

00:55:51.774 --> 00:56:00.674
HAILEY: But the night before, they text me and they're like, hey, you have a reservation at Homecoming at 930 to modify, like click this link.

00:56:01.254 --> 00:56:02.934
HAILEY: So I was like, oh, let me see if I can do that.

00:56:02.934 --> 00:56:04.374
HAILEY: So I clicked the link.

00:56:04.774 --> 00:56:10.874
HAILEY: And because they use like, I want to say it's open table or something like that, it let me modify it.

00:56:10.954 --> 00:56:12.594
HAILEY: So I switched it to 10 o'clock.

00:56:13.074 --> 00:56:13.434
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:56:13.894 --> 00:56:16.094
HAILEY: So we were good there.

00:56:16.174 --> 00:56:17.574
HAILEY: And then we were waiting for the bus.

00:56:17.614 --> 00:56:23.914
HAILEY: I looked down towards the lobby because he was like, oh, like, let's go just get something to drink or whatnot while we wait.

00:56:23.934 --> 00:56:24.834
HAILEY: So we're not in the sun.

00:56:25.134 --> 00:56:28.734
HAILEY: And then I saw the character van and I ran.

00:56:28.754 --> 00:56:30.754
HAILEY: I was like, oh, I know what that means.

00:56:31.334 --> 00:56:32.754
HAILEY: And he had no idea.

00:56:32.774 --> 00:56:34.474
HAILEY: And I just like took off running.

00:56:35.714 --> 00:56:36.334
VIRGINIA: Runaway Bride.

00:56:39.194 --> 00:56:45.654
HAILEY: And then so we got in the lobby and it was Chip, Dale and Daisy were all in the lobby.

00:56:46.134 --> 00:56:47.854
VIRGINIA: So did you get pictures with all of them?

00:56:48.274 --> 00:56:48.674
HAILEY: Yes.

00:56:48.954 --> 00:56:51.534
HAILEY: Got very quick pictures with all of them.

00:56:51.834 --> 00:56:54.694
HAILEY: Took maybe like five or ten minutes.

00:56:54.854 --> 00:56:57.954
HAILEY: And then by the time we went out, the Disney Springs bus was there.

00:56:58.734 --> 00:56:59.374
VIRGINIA: Perfect.

00:56:59.614 --> 00:57:00.134
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:57:01.134 --> 00:57:05.094
VIRGINIA: So Homecomin, did you get the deviled eggs?

00:57:05.574 --> 00:57:06.014
HAILEY: I did.

00:57:07.334 --> 00:57:08.074
VIRGINIA: So good.

00:57:08.274 --> 00:57:09.254
VIRGINIA: So good.

00:57:09.294 --> 00:57:16.094
HAILEY: I was very glad that I didn't get that banana bread because we got way too much food, like way too much.

00:57:16.814 --> 00:57:18.874
HAILEY: My husband doesn't like deviled eggs.

00:57:19.554 --> 00:57:21.494
VIRGINIA: So they were all yours.

00:57:23.174 --> 00:57:24.274
HAILEY: They were all mine.

00:57:25.394 --> 00:57:28.274
HAILEY: I ended up like leaving like two or three behind.

00:57:28.294 --> 00:57:30.474
HAILEY: And I'm like, I feel so bad right now.

00:57:30.634 --> 00:57:32.234
HAILEY: I just want to take them with me.

00:57:32.254 --> 00:57:33.234
HAILEY: But I'm like their eggs.

00:57:33.254 --> 00:57:33.694
HAILEY: They won't.

00:57:34.274 --> 00:57:34.614
VIRGINIA: Right.

00:57:34.774 --> 00:57:35.334
VIRGINIA: Exactly.

00:57:37.234 --> 00:57:42.754
HAILEY: And then I got, so I wanted the thigh high, like the chicken biscuits.

00:57:43.414 --> 00:57:46.714
HAILEY: But I'm not a fan of chicken thighs.

00:57:46.734 --> 00:57:48.234
HAILEY: Like I don't like dark meat.

00:57:48.694 --> 00:57:51.834
HAILEY: So I was like, I'll just go like kind of create my own.

00:57:51.854 --> 00:57:57.074
HAILEY: So I got an order of the biscuits and an order of chicken tenders so I could make my own.

00:57:57.494 --> 00:57:59.414
HAILEY: But each of them came with like six.

00:58:00.534 --> 00:58:02.274
HAILEY: I'm like, I wanted like one.

00:58:02.294 --> 00:58:04.894
VIRGINIA: So six biscuits and six chicken tenders.

00:58:05.714 --> 00:58:08.014
HAILEY: And then he still got a meal on top of it.

00:58:09.574 --> 00:58:09.954
HAILEY: Yeah.

00:58:10.714 --> 00:58:18.434
HAILEY: So thankfully, I had a box and I brought home the biscuits and the chicken tenders with me.

00:58:19.094 --> 00:58:24.894
HAILEY: And I ended up having dinner that night when I got home from the airport and breakfast the next morning.

00:58:24.914 --> 00:58:28.034
HAILEY: I made like four meals.

00:58:28.574 --> 00:58:36.114
VIRGINIA: I'm just imagining the TSA people being like, she's got chicken tenders in her bag.

00:58:36.134 --> 00:58:39.074
HAILEY: Well, we had like they gave us a brown bag.

00:58:39.274 --> 00:58:40.094
HAILEY: So we had a bag.

00:58:40.114 --> 00:58:42.014
HAILEY: It had the biscuits, the chicken tenders.

00:58:42.094 --> 00:58:48.974
HAILEY: And then after homecoming, I had to go and find that Munchling Donald popcorn bucket.

00:58:49.654 --> 00:58:51.314
HAILEY: That was like my number one goal.

00:58:51.954 --> 00:58:53.014
HAILEY: So we went and we found that.

00:58:53.034 --> 00:58:55.114
HAILEY: So I just had like a brown bag of food.

00:58:55.134 --> 00:58:56.614
HAILEY: It was like the popcorn part.

00:58:57.174 --> 00:58:59.974
HAILEY: It was the chicken tenders and the biscuits.

00:59:00.014 --> 00:59:03.154
HAILEY: I'm like, if I wanted, I could just start eating this on the plane.

00:59:04.534 --> 00:59:05.034
HAILEY: Perfect.

00:59:06.394 --> 00:59:09.894
VIRGINIA: Did you have time for anything else after your homecoming reservation?

00:59:09.914 --> 00:59:13.494
VIRGINIA: Because you had told me that you needed to be at the airport by 1 30.

00:59:14.014 --> 00:59:17.414
VIRGINIA: You had grand plans to maybe go see Godzilla at the movie theater.

00:59:17.434 --> 00:59:19.154
VIRGINIA: But I know that didn't happen.

00:59:19.174 --> 00:59:21.894
VIRGINIA: So what did you do before the airport?

00:59:22.494 --> 00:59:23.894
HAILEY: We just kind of walked around.

00:59:24.574 --> 00:59:26.974
HAILEY: I got a coffee at Joffrey's.

00:59:27.414 --> 00:59:30.914
HAILEY: Like I said, we had to make it to the other side of Disney Springs.

00:59:30.934 --> 00:59:35.954
HAILEY: The West End is where the popcorn stand was that was selling that popcorn bucket.

00:59:36.694 --> 00:59:41.034
HAILEY: So we just kind of got coffee, walked over there, got the popcorn bucket.

00:59:41.674 --> 00:59:46.434
HAILEY: We walked through like the Lego store and like World of Disney, the Marvel store.

00:59:47.054 --> 00:59:52.474
HAILEY: But other than that, it was just I was ready to come home.

00:59:54.334 --> 00:59:55.794
VIRGINIA: Any issues with your flight home?

00:59:56.954 --> 01:00:00.394
HAILEY: We were delayed about 25 minutes.

01:00:01.334 --> 01:00:01.974
VIRGINIA: Not bad.

01:00:02.314 --> 01:00:02.854
HAILEY: Not bad.

01:00:03.114 --> 01:00:07.974
HAILEY: But just the airport, I think it might have been so we took Spirit.

01:00:08.774 --> 01:00:13.294
HAILEY: I don't know if it was just Spirit in general that was having issues that day, maybe.

01:00:13.474 --> 01:00:24.134
HAILEY: But it seemed like there were a lot of delayed because when we got over to our terminal, there was hundreds of people and they were all saying like, oh, we were delayed.

01:00:24.354 --> 01:00:26.814
HAILEY: We boarded our plane and then had to de-board.

01:00:26.834 --> 01:00:37.054
HAILEY: And I don't know if it was just an issue with Spirit or what, but I was just very thankful that it was only 25 minutes.

01:00:37.614 --> 01:00:37.974
HAILEY: Yeah.

01:00:38.694 --> 01:00:40.474
VIRGINIA: Well, this was a whirlwind trip.

01:00:40.794 --> 01:00:41.274
HAILEY: It was.

01:00:41.294 --> 01:00:41.854
HAILEY: It was fun.

01:00:42.254 --> 01:00:42.674
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

01:00:42.934 --> 01:00:47.934
VIRGINIA: So does your husband feel like he had a good birthday trip?

01:00:48.254 --> 01:00:53.514
VIRGINIA: Did he feel like he was celebrated in the proper way at Disney World?

01:00:53.534 --> 01:00:54.334
VIRGINIA: Did he wear a button?

01:00:54.714 --> 01:00:55.174
VIRGINIA: He did.

01:00:55.194 --> 01:00:55.934
HAILEY: He wore a button.

01:00:55.954 --> 01:00:56.174
HAILEY: Yeah.

01:00:56.734 --> 01:00:57.214
VIRGINIA: All right.

01:00:57.914 --> 01:01:00.114
VIRGINIA: Any birthday hats with his hat collection?

01:01:00.974 --> 01:01:01.974
HAILEY: No birthday hats.

01:01:01.994 --> 01:01:04.334
HAILEY: Yeah, that would be a good one to look for next time.

01:01:04.674 --> 01:01:13.654
HAILEY: But he was just very happy that he was just wearing his, even when we were in the airport, he was wearing like his German hat the whole time in the airport.

01:01:15.894 --> 01:01:16.374
HAILEY: All right.

01:01:16.734 --> 01:01:24.994
VIRGINIA: Well, Hailey, it has been a real pleasure getting to know you and expanding my connection with the Disney girlies.

01:01:25.374 --> 01:01:27.614

VIRGINIA: It's in the next week, right?

01:01:35.194 --> 01:01:36.154
HAILEY: Yeah, this weekend.

01:01:37.034 --> 01:01:37.474
VIRGINIA: Okay.

VIRGINIA: So we'll look for each other.

VIRGINIA: Thank you again.

01:01:44.854 --> 01:01:45.674
