Post-Trip Report: Nats Ventures to Orlando (May 2025)

00:00:12.255 --> 00:00:16.395
VIRGINIA: Welcome back to Where I Long To Be, A Magical Trip Report Podcast.

00:00:16.395 --> 00:00:18.495
VIRGINIA: I am your host, Virginia.

00:00:18.495 --> 00:00:24.575
VIRGINIA: If you are new here, I'd love it if you could make sure to check out the podcast website, which is whereilongtobepodcast.com.

00:00:25.675 --> 00:00:36.755
VIRGINIA: To find out a little bit more about who I am, find past episodes on basically every kind of trip you can imagine, or to provide feedback either in the form of a message or by writing a review.

00:00:36.755 --> 00:00:46.435
VIRGINIA: That's right, if you've already rated and reviewed the podcast on the podcast platform of your choice, you are always able to leave another review directly on the website.

00:00:46.435 --> 00:00:54.155
VIRGINIA: And I happened to have a new review that was left through the website from Kelly, titled Bring The Magic Home.

00:00:54.155 --> 00:00:56.775
VIRGINIA: Kelly says, Are you missing Disney?

00:00:56.775 --> 00:00:58.155
VIRGINIA: Here is your cure.

00:00:58.155 --> 00:01:00.795
VIRGINIA: Listen to Virginia and keep the magic alive.

00:01:00.795 --> 00:01:04.395
VIRGINIA: This podcast has so much information and is a fun listen.

00:01:04.395 --> 00:01:08.655
VIRGINIA: Even as a self-proclaimed Disney super fan, I still learn a lot.

00:01:09.555 --> 00:01:12.075
VIRGINIA: Thank you so much, Kelly, for that review.

00:01:12.075 --> 00:01:16.215
VIRGINIA: I really appreciate your support and thank you for taking the time to do that.

00:01:16.215 --> 00:01:17.935
VIRGINIA: It really does mean a lot.

00:01:17.935 --> 00:01:30.935
VIRGINIA: Before we get into today's Post Trip Report episode, I just want to remind everyone that next week will be the last episodes of Season 4 and that I will be taking a two-week break because of a work trip I have coming up to Anaheim.

00:01:30.935 --> 00:01:35.435
VIRGINIA: Yes, home of Disneyland, so of course I will be getting some part-time in while I'm there.

00:01:36.095 --> 00:01:39.695
VIRGINIA: Season 5 will begin on July 7th.

00:01:39.695 --> 00:01:44.575
VIRGINIA: Alright, it is time to welcome back Nats from her big Orlando holiday.

00:01:44.575 --> 00:01:53.215
VIRGINIA: Nats was traveling May 3rd through 26th with her partner Scott, and for the first half of that, her mom and dad were joining them on the trip.

00:01:53.215 --> 00:02:00.315
VIRGINIA: This was not only her mom and dad's first trip to Orlando, but it was also their first trip to the US ever.

00:02:00.315 --> 00:02:08.255
VIRGINIA: Nats and Scott were so excited to share it with them, and you'll find out at the end if mom and dad are now Orlando people too.

00:02:08.255 --> 00:02:21.215
VIRGINIA: The only other thing I want to catch you up on, in case you missed their pre-trip report, is that they had special tickets that are available to UK folks through orlandoattractiontickets.com.uk, something like that.

00:02:21.215 --> 00:02:22.895
VIRGINIA: The link is in the show notes.

00:02:22.895 --> 00:02:28.535
VIRGINIA: That got them access to 14 Days of Disney and 14 Days of Universal Fun.

00:02:28.535 --> 00:02:35.335
VIRGINIA: Through this holiday, the family was staying at an offsite villa in Kissimmee that Nats and Scott have stayed at before and have loved.

00:02:35.335 --> 00:02:37.555
VIRGINIA: That link will also be in the show notes.

00:02:37.555 --> 00:02:38.015
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:02:38.015 --> 00:02:39.495
VIRGINIA: That is all you need to know.

00:02:39.495 --> 00:02:41.495
VIRGINIA: Let's launch into this episode.

00:02:41.495 --> 00:02:44.215
VIRGINIA: Here is my conversation with Nats.

00:02:45.235 --> 00:02:46.835
VIRGINIA: Welcome back, Nats.

00:02:46.835 --> 00:02:47.395
NATS: Hi.

00:02:47.395 --> 00:02:49.895
NATS: Thank you so much for having me again.

00:02:49.895 --> 00:02:53.795
VIRGINIA: You look like you've gotten a little sun since I saw you last time.

00:02:56.055 --> 00:02:58.195
NATS: I'll label with you that it's not real.

00:02:58.955 --> 00:03:02.095
NATS: Oh.

00:03:02.095 --> 00:03:04.235
VIRGINIA: She's got that Florida glow.

00:03:04.235 --> 00:03:04.575
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:03:04.575 --> 00:03:07.015
NATS: Why was I wish it was real?

00:03:07.015 --> 00:03:09.915
NATS: The Scottish skin does not allow it.

00:03:11.775 --> 00:03:12.415
VIRGINIA: Goodness.

00:03:12.415 --> 00:03:13.635
VIRGINIA: That is so funny.

00:03:13.635 --> 00:03:24.055
VIRGINIA: I'm laughing too because you know, because we were just chatting, but I just got back from my sister's wedding and my sister and I are both pale, much like yourself in our natural form.

00:03:24.695 --> 00:03:34.315
VIRGINIA: And she and her fiancee both got spray tans for the wedding and they both looked gorgeous like perfection.

00:03:34.315 --> 00:03:41.555
VIRGINIA: But it took a little bit of getting used to just because it was like, we are both glowing white usually.

00:03:41.555 --> 00:03:50.775
VIRGINIA: And to see both of them with a nice deep glow and looking like they had just come back from vacation for their wedding day was amazing.

00:03:50.775 --> 00:03:51.995
NATS: Oh, I love that.

00:03:51.995 --> 00:03:52.535
NATS: I love it.

00:03:53.415 --> 00:03:54.975
VIRGINIA: Well, it looks very natural on you.

00:03:54.975 --> 00:03:55.895
VIRGINIA: I will tell you that much.

00:03:55.895 --> 00:03:56.875
VIRGINIA: I never would have guessed.

00:03:56.875 --> 00:03:59.155
VIRGINIA: Especially having just come back from a vacation.

00:03:59.155 --> 00:04:03.095
VIRGINIA: People would just assume that it's from Florida.

00:04:03.095 --> 00:04:08.075
NATS: I've been getting a lot of comments about that a lot since I went back to work.

00:04:08.075 --> 00:04:10.635
VIRGINIA: Well, let's talk all about this trip.

00:04:10.635 --> 00:04:18.715
VIRGINIA: So first of all, I want to know because you were staying off property in a villa in Kissimmee.

00:04:18.715 --> 00:04:20.975
VIRGINIA: That was about 10 minutes drive from Disney, I believe.

00:04:21.535 --> 00:04:25.295
VIRGINIA: How was your experience with the villa?

00:04:25.295 --> 00:04:26.335
NATS: Yeah, it was amazing.

00:04:26.335 --> 00:04:32.815
NATS: So we had actually stayed at that one before, and we rebooked it because we loved it so much.

00:04:32.815 --> 00:04:35.375
NATS: But yeah, it was amazing.

00:04:35.375 --> 00:04:39.495
NATS: We obviously took my mom and dad for their first time ever.

00:04:41.235 --> 00:04:47.735
NATS: They had never been to America before, so they hadn't ever experienced a villa in Florida or anything like that.

00:04:47.735 --> 00:04:50.095
NATS: They were just blown away by it.

00:04:50.415 --> 00:04:57.655
NATS: They loved having their own space, having the pool there that we could chill in if we wanted to.

00:04:57.655 --> 00:05:00.115
NATS: It was just, it was lovely.

00:05:00.115 --> 00:05:01.195
NATS: Yeah, we loved that villa.

00:05:01.195 --> 00:05:04.695
NATS: So we've actually, I don't know if you want me to say it yet.

00:05:04.695 --> 00:05:05.255
NATS: But we've booked it.

00:05:05.255 --> 00:05:06.395
VIRGINIA: I'm guessing where you're going.

00:05:06.395 --> 00:05:08.535
VIRGINIA: You're pre-booked for next time?

00:05:08.535 --> 00:05:12.455
NATS: We've booked it already to go back there next year at the same time.

00:05:12.455 --> 00:05:13.455
VIRGINIA: Fantastic.

00:05:13.455 --> 00:05:19.955
VIRGINIA: I'll have to get the information on the villa, if you'd like to share it so that anybody else is looking for properties.

00:05:20.075 --> 00:05:23.075
VIRGINIA: That might be good for them as options.

00:05:23.075 --> 00:05:23.675
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:05:23.675 --> 00:05:25.455
VIRGINIA: You also rented a car this trip.

00:05:25.455 --> 00:05:29.455
VIRGINIA: So how was that experience getting the rental car?

00:05:29.455 --> 00:05:32.295
VIRGINIA: And you had it for the entire time, right?

00:05:32.295 --> 00:05:32.735
NATS: Yes.

00:05:32.735 --> 00:05:33.635
NATS: Yeah, we did.

00:05:33.635 --> 00:05:37.635
NATS: So yeah, we always tend to hire a car when we go there.

00:05:37.635 --> 00:05:41.575
NATS: We use a website called Discount Florida Car Hire.

00:05:42.435 --> 00:05:43.975
NATS: And they are awesome.

00:05:43.975 --> 00:05:48.615
NATS: And basically, they compare loads of different ones.

00:05:48.615 --> 00:05:50.955
NATS: But they are just incredible.

00:05:50.955 --> 00:05:52.455
NATS: They're such a great company.

00:05:52.455 --> 00:05:53.755
NATS: They're so easy to use.

00:05:53.755 --> 00:05:57.215
NATS: And we basically, I think we booked through them.

00:05:57.215 --> 00:06:04.155
NATS: But then it was the company, Sixt, S-I-X-T, that we ended up hiring from.

00:06:04.155 --> 00:06:06.815
NATS: And when we got there, we literally went to the desk.

00:06:06.815 --> 00:06:08.895
NATS: They already had all of our details.

00:06:09.435 --> 00:06:11.535
NATS: And they had already assigned us a car.

00:06:11.535 --> 00:06:15.435
NATS: So it was a matter of two minutes, signing a bit of paper.

00:06:15.435 --> 00:06:17.175
NATS: They gave us a keys and we were good to go.

00:06:17.175 --> 00:06:20.275
NATS: And we just walked straight out the terminal to our car.

00:06:20.515 --> 00:06:21.515
VIRGINIA: Oh, okay.

00:06:21.515 --> 00:06:24.035
NATS: And it was a car called a Buick.

00:06:24.035 --> 00:06:26.615
NATS: I had never heard of this brand of car before.

00:06:26.615 --> 00:06:29.415
VIRGINIA: It's a very American brand.

00:06:29.415 --> 00:06:30.495
NATS: I had never heard of it.

00:06:30.495 --> 00:06:31.635
NATS: And we were walking towards it.

00:06:31.635 --> 00:06:34.495
NATS: And I was like, that's not our car.

00:06:34.495 --> 00:06:38.035
NATS: And it was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen.

00:06:38.575 --> 00:06:40.415
NATS: Like this big seven-seater car.

00:06:40.415 --> 00:06:42.175
NATS: And I was just like blown away by it.

00:06:42.175 --> 00:06:42.835
NATS: It was gorgeous.

00:06:42.835 --> 00:06:43.695
VIRGINIA: Oh, wow.

00:06:43.695 --> 00:06:47.195
VIRGINIA: So was it an SUV or was it a van?

00:06:47.195 --> 00:06:48.195
NATS: An SUV.

00:06:48.195 --> 00:06:48.515
NATS: Yeah.

00:06:48.515 --> 00:06:48.695
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:06:48.695 --> 00:06:51.155
NATS: It was beautiful, honestly.

00:06:51.155 --> 00:06:57.175
NATS: And I'm so glad because we had basically hired a lower car spec.

00:06:57.175 --> 00:07:02.395
NATS: And we were like, oh, I don't know what it's going to be like with the luggage because my parents were with us.

00:07:02.395 --> 00:07:05.295
NATS: So we canceled it and then rebooted a bigger car.

00:07:05.935 --> 00:07:14.255
NATS: And I'm so glad we rebooted because we would never have gotten our suitcases into the smaller car if we went with that.

00:07:14.255 --> 00:07:17.015
NATS: So yeah, it was a good call.

00:07:17.015 --> 00:07:20.015
VIRGINIA: Did Scott do most of the driving?

00:07:20.015 --> 00:07:23.795
NATS: He did the majority, but I did do some driving.

00:07:23.795 --> 00:07:24.195
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:07:24.195 --> 00:07:25.555
VIRGINIA: Good for you.

00:07:25.555 --> 00:07:26.455
NATS: Yeah.

00:07:26.455 --> 00:07:32.355
NATS: I reversed out of our driveway and my dad was like, Nats, you're doing so well.

00:07:32.355 --> 00:07:33.415
NATS: I'm so proud of you.

00:07:34.135 --> 00:07:37.175
NATS: Keep going, girl, but you're on the wrong side of the road.

00:07:37.175 --> 00:07:40.615
NATS: I was like, oh no.

00:07:40.615 --> 00:07:45.735
NATS: Now we keep laughing about it because he's like, you're just, yeah, not a clue.

00:07:45.855 --> 00:07:55.135
VIRGINIA: I feel like that's the way to do it for somebody is like, totally compliment everything they're doing and then the big reveal is here's where you totally went wrong.

00:07:55.135 --> 00:07:56.435
NATS: Yeah.

00:07:56.435 --> 00:07:57.595
NATS: Now move.

00:07:57.595 --> 00:07:58.895
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:07:58.895 --> 00:08:01.215
VIRGINIA: That's so funny.

00:08:01.215 --> 00:08:02.375
VIRGINIA: Oh my goodness.

00:08:02.375 --> 00:08:02.675
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:08:03.235 --> 00:08:07.335
VIRGINIA: Let's walk through as much of this trip as you can recall.

00:08:07.335 --> 00:08:14.475
VIRGINIA: I don't know if you took notes on it because it was a massive trip of multiple weeks here.

00:08:14.475 --> 00:08:17.795
VIRGINIA: So we can kind of talk through it chronologically.

00:08:17.795 --> 00:08:26.055
VIRGINIA: But if you remember things later that you forgot to say, it's okay to just jump back in and say, oh yeah, on this other day we did this thing and I forgot to mention it.

00:08:26.055 --> 00:08:26.715
VIRGINIA: That's fine.

00:08:26.715 --> 00:08:30.155
VIRGINIA: Listeners are going to be along for this journey regardless.

00:08:30.155 --> 00:08:30.755
NATS: Awesome.

00:08:30.755 --> 00:08:31.355
NATS: Perfect.

00:08:31.655 --> 00:08:31.975
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:08:31.975 --> 00:08:42.635
VIRGINIA: Let's start with your flight from the UK over to Orlando, which I think put you into MCO around 3:30 PM.

00:08:42.655 --> 00:08:44.375
VIRGINIA: How did that all go?

00:08:44.375 --> 00:08:45.475
NATS: Amazing.

00:08:45.475 --> 00:08:48.095
NATS: One of the best flights I've ever had.

00:08:48.095 --> 00:08:53.035
NATS: So Scott and I were in premium economy, and my mom and dad were in economy.

00:08:55.135 --> 00:09:02.595
NATS: Just after the meal, my dad was like, oh, can we just swap for 10 minutes just so that I can speak to Scott for a little bit?

00:09:02.595 --> 00:09:03.575
VIRGINIA: Blah, blah, blah.

00:09:03.575 --> 00:09:15.635
NATS: So I went down the back to sit with my mom, and three hours later, my dad is still in my seat with Scott, and the two of them were just sat there having a drink, chatting away and blah, blah, blah.

00:09:15.635 --> 00:09:18.555
NATS: But honestly, it was one of the best flights.

00:09:18.555 --> 00:09:20.375
NATS: It went so quick.

00:09:20.375 --> 00:09:27.075
NATS: We actually ended up landing at MCO around half two, instead of half three, which was amazing.

00:09:28.295 --> 00:09:29.435
NATS: It was just this movie's flight.

00:09:29.435 --> 00:09:31.195
NATS: The cabin crew were incredible.

00:09:31.195 --> 00:09:39.195
NATS: I had bought Scott some happy birthday sunglasses and a badge, and they were making him feel super special.

00:09:39.195 --> 00:09:43.715
NATS: Everyone was saying happy birthday as they went past and stuff like that.

00:09:43.715 --> 00:09:44.935
NATS: It was amazing.

00:09:45.055 --> 00:09:46.515
NATS: It was just a lovely flight.

00:09:46.515 --> 00:09:48.015
NATS: It went so quick.

00:09:48.015 --> 00:10:00.175
NATS: I actually didn't even watch any of the movies on the flight, because by the time I had eaten and then went down the back, sat with my mum for a bit, and then came back, it was almost time to land at that point.

00:10:00.175 --> 00:10:04.255
NATS: And it was just like, well, I'll just have a quick nap.

00:10:04.255 --> 00:10:05.775
NATS: So yeah, it was amazing.

00:10:05.775 --> 00:10:15.675
VIRGINIA: Your plan on the first day was to have some dinner and really kind of just stock up the villa with a grocery or Walmart type run.

00:10:15.675 --> 00:10:19.055
VIRGINIA: Did you end up going out to dinner before your grocery run?

00:10:19.055 --> 00:10:19.915
NATS: Yeah, we did.

00:10:19.915 --> 00:10:28.255
NATS: So we love, I think I mentioned on the previous episode that we loved this road called the US-192 and it's just full of restaurants.

00:10:28.255 --> 00:10:33.055
NATS: And we went to a restaurant there that me and Scott had been to before called Sikkies.

00:10:33.055 --> 00:10:38.755
NATS: And it's basically like your typical American restaurant, like all of the burgers, the beer, like all that stuff.

00:10:38.755 --> 00:10:39.815
NATS: It was amazing.

00:10:39.815 --> 00:10:42.275
NATS: So we went there and we had some dinner there.

00:10:42.275 --> 00:10:47.015
NATS: And then we headed to Walmart to stock up some bits for the villa.

00:10:48.255 --> 00:10:54.735
NATS: But I don't know if I mentioned before, I'm like completely obsessed with chick-fil-a.

00:10:54.735 --> 00:10:58.435
NATS: And I mean like obsessed with it is all I think about when I'm at home.

00:10:58.435 --> 00:11:00.815
NATS: Because I was such a fussy eater.

00:11:00.815 --> 00:11:08.035
NATS: Like when I found chick-fil-a, I was like, oh my god, something that actually has flavor that I like.

00:11:08.035 --> 00:11:10.875
NATS: So I actually didn't eat at dinner.

00:11:10.875 --> 00:11:14.735
NATS: I just sat with my mum in that and I had like a portion of like fries.

00:11:14.735 --> 00:11:17.935
NATS: And then I went for a chick-fil-a after just outside Walmart.

00:11:18.695 --> 00:11:21.575
NATS: Because I was like, I need one on the first night.

00:11:21.575 --> 00:11:23.875
VIRGINIA: You know, I don't know what the name of their sauce is.

00:11:23.875 --> 00:11:25.355
VIRGINIA: I think it might just be chick-fil-a sauce.

00:11:25.355 --> 00:11:27.515
VIRGINIA: You can buy that in the grocery stores here.

00:11:27.515 --> 00:11:31.175
NATS: Yeah, they've just released it in the grocery stores over here as well.

00:11:31.895 --> 00:11:34.055
NATS: Our supermarket Tesco, it's called.

00:11:34.055 --> 00:11:38.835
NATS: They've just recently got it in, like literally like a week or so ago.

00:11:38.835 --> 00:11:39.555
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:11:39.555 --> 00:11:42.055
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I can't even say what it would taste like.

00:11:42.055 --> 00:11:43.315
VIRGINIA: I never go to chick-fil-a.

00:11:45.015 --> 00:11:49.055
VIRGINIA: But, I mean, I've been before.

00:11:49.055 --> 00:11:52.695
VIRGINIA: It's just probably, I'm going to guess it's been like 20 years.

00:11:53.255 --> 00:11:55.015
VIRGINIA: So I have no idea.

00:11:55.015 --> 00:11:55.815
VIRGINIA: I have no idea.

00:11:56.055 --> 00:12:03.155
VIRGINIA: The new rage here in the chicken world, the chicken industry seems to be raising canes.

00:12:03.295 --> 00:12:04.555
VIRGINIA: I've heard of this.

00:12:04.555 --> 00:12:06.215
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I don't know.

00:12:06.215 --> 00:12:07.495
VIRGINIA: The kids are all into it.

00:12:07.495 --> 00:12:11.355
VIRGINIA: Alex was super excited when he found out there was one near my work.

00:12:11.535 --> 00:12:15.395
VIRGINIA: And so it's the big thing, I guess.

00:12:15.395 --> 00:12:15.855
VIRGINIA: I don't know.

00:12:15.855 --> 00:12:17.515
VIRGINIA: I've only eaten there once.

00:12:17.515 --> 00:12:23.875
VIRGINIA: As much as I do enjoy a chicken tender or whatever, it's just not something that I think to do on a regular basis.

00:12:23.875 --> 00:12:25.295
VIRGINIA: It's more of like, oh.

00:12:25.295 --> 00:12:27.315
NATS: I'm looking forward to my next trip.

00:12:27.315 --> 00:12:29.695
VIRGINIA: Yeah, yeah, you should.

00:12:29.695 --> 00:12:30.335
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:12:30.335 --> 00:12:36.675
VIRGINIA: So your first day, your first full day was Sunday, May the 4th.

00:12:36.675 --> 00:12:39.415
VIRGINIA: And May the 4th Be With You was going on.

00:12:39.935 --> 00:12:42.455
VIRGINIA: And you had planned to start your day at Hollywood Studios.

00:12:42.455 --> 00:12:47.815
VIRGINIA: I'm imagining because of May the 4th, although I don't think we talked about it during your pre-trip.

00:12:47.815 --> 00:12:50.455
VIRGINIA: So how was this first full day?

00:12:50.455 --> 00:12:53.275
NATS: Yeah, so I'm going to put it out there.

00:12:53.275 --> 00:12:54.115
NATS: I'm sorry.

00:12:54.115 --> 00:12:56.055
NATS: I'm not a Star Wars girl.

00:12:57.995 --> 00:13:00.735
NATS: So that wasn't the reason that we were going.

00:13:00.775 --> 00:13:05.895
NATS: The reason we were doing Hollywood Studios is just because it's like Minds In Scotch tradition.

00:13:05.895 --> 00:13:14.095
NATS: Every first day that we have, we do Hollywood Studios, the first thing we do is Indiana Jones, the stunt show.

00:13:14.095 --> 00:13:24.115
NATS: Then we go for a lunch at Backlot, and then we do like star tours, head over towards like Toy Story land, like all of that stuff.

00:13:24.115 --> 00:13:25.795
NATS: That's just always what we do on our first day.

00:13:25.795 --> 00:13:27.655
NATS: I don't know why, but we just always do it.

00:13:29.455 --> 00:13:35.015
VIRGINIA: What a day to pick to do that plan, because I'm sure it was insane.

00:13:35.015 --> 00:13:38.975
NATS: Well, you would think, but it actually wasn't.

00:13:38.975 --> 00:13:43.815
NATS: I don't know if it was raining as well, so we were all in our ponchos.

00:13:44.195 --> 00:13:46.555
NATS: It wasn't as busy as what we thought it was going to be.

00:13:46.555 --> 00:14:00.235
NATS: I don't know if it was because we purposefully chose to avoid Galaxy's Edge that day and just skip that part, because we knew we were going back to that park, so we were like, we can do it at another point.

00:14:00.235 --> 00:14:03.115
NATS: But everything else was so quiet.

00:14:03.115 --> 00:14:04.315
VIRGINIA: I bet that's why then.

00:14:04.315 --> 00:14:06.535
VIRGINIA: I bet everybody was in Galaxy's Edge.

00:14:06.535 --> 00:14:16.615
NATS: Well, we did walk through Galaxy's Edge just to get to Toy Story, and it was super busy in that section, but all the other parts were completely fine.

00:14:16.615 --> 00:14:20.435
NATS: We were like, oh, this actually isn't as bad as what we thought it was going to be.

00:14:20.435 --> 00:14:27.875
NATS: Because we did think about moving the schedule around a bit, and then we were like, we've got time, and we'll just leave it as it is.

00:14:28.295 --> 00:14:29.635
VIRGINIA: Right.

00:14:29.635 --> 00:14:30.335
NATS: Yeah.

00:14:30.335 --> 00:14:31.535
NATS: It was fine.

00:14:31.535 --> 00:14:35.795
VIRGINIA: Did you make it over to Magic Kingdom that night for fireworks like you were hoping to?

00:14:35.795 --> 00:14:36.975
NATS: We did.

00:14:36.975 --> 00:14:42.895
NATS: We headed back to the villa, chilled at the pool for a little bit, and then got freshened up.

00:14:43.675 --> 00:14:46.895
NATS: We then went back into Magic Kingdom for the evening.

00:14:46.895 --> 00:14:48.095
NATS: My mom and dad blessed them.

00:14:48.095 --> 00:14:51.255
NATS: Obviously, they hadn't ever done this type of trip before.

00:14:51.255 --> 00:14:59.075
NATS: They were like, I think as soon as the fireworks ended, they kind of hit a wall and we were all just like so tired.

00:15:00.115 --> 00:15:06.775
NATS: Then as soon as we got into the car after the fireworks, me and my dad fell asleep in the car and just headed home.

00:15:06.775 --> 00:15:09.535
NATS: But yeah, we did get over, we did do the fireworks.

00:15:10.935 --> 00:15:14.535
NATS: We grabbed a bit of food at, what's it called?

00:15:14.535 --> 00:15:17.235
NATS: Cosmic Race, the quick serve.

00:15:17.235 --> 00:15:20.055
NATS: We just grabbed some food in there for dinner.

00:15:20.055 --> 00:15:22.335
NATS: Then you had a little look in the shops on Main Street.

00:15:22.395 --> 00:15:23.375
NATS: Then we headed out.

00:15:23.435 --> 00:15:25.235
NATS: We didn't do any rides that night.

00:15:25.235 --> 00:15:28.315
NATS: We literally just went for the fireworks.

00:15:28.315 --> 00:15:40.255
VIRGINIA: This being your parents' first time in America and first time in a park like this, what were their impressions walking in that first time?

00:15:41.475 --> 00:15:42.775
NATS: Yeah.

00:15:42.775 --> 00:15:47.715
NATS: I vlogged the whole trip and I was watching it back the other day.

00:15:47.715 --> 00:16:01.195
NATS: For Hollywood Studios, they loved the vibe and the atmosphere, but my dad is like super scared of roller coasters or was because he hadn't done one in like 10 years and he had only ever done one in his life.

00:16:02.475 --> 00:16:10.215
NATS: He's like scared of heights, he's scared of roller coasters, gets motion sickness, so he's the worst person ever to take to a theme park.

00:16:10.215 --> 00:16:12.915
NATS: But he did it all.

00:16:12.915 --> 00:16:18.235
NATS: He was so scared like in some of the cues and he was like quite quiet.

00:16:18.235 --> 00:16:20.335
NATS: But then after it, he was like, no, that was amazing.

00:16:20.535 --> 00:16:21.415
NATS: I loved that.

00:16:21.415 --> 00:16:22.695
NATS: Blah, blah, blah.

00:16:22.695 --> 00:16:31.215
NATS: Then I remember when we walked into Magic Kingdom, I've got a video of him and he's like, wow, he's like, this is Disney.

00:16:31.215 --> 00:16:33.815
NATS: He's like, I just feel so Disney.

00:16:33.815 --> 00:16:41.355
NATS: He's like everywhere you look, there's someone singing or dancing in your face, or everyone's just happy and they loved it.

00:16:41.355 --> 00:16:44.715
NATS: They were completely consumed by it.

00:16:44.715 --> 00:16:46.135
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:16:46.135 --> 00:16:48.555
VIRGINIA: Well, tell me more about what you did on this trip.

00:16:48.655 --> 00:16:52.615
VIRGINIA: Just walk me through it however you would like to walk through it.

00:16:52.615 --> 00:17:00.055
NATS: In my head, I've compartmentalized it into two sections, so the first two weeks and then the last week.

00:17:00.055 --> 00:17:08.615
NATS: The first two weeks were when my mom and dad were with us, and we basically tried to cram so much in because it was their first time.

00:17:08.615 --> 00:17:10.815
NATS: We weren't sure if they'd ever come back.

00:17:10.815 --> 00:17:15.615
NATS: We wanted to give them everything or nothing, if that makes sense.

00:17:16.915 --> 00:17:19.515
NATS: And we literally just squeezed everything in that we could.

00:17:19.515 --> 00:17:21.615
NATS: So yeah, we did so much.

00:17:21.615 --> 00:17:25.915
NATS: We did basically all of the parks in those two weeks.

00:17:25.915 --> 00:17:28.275
NATS: We did like Universal as well.

00:17:28.275 --> 00:17:29.715
NATS: We did Epic Universe.

00:17:29.715 --> 00:17:30.915
NATS: We did Discovery Cove.

00:17:30.915 --> 00:17:37.295
VIRGINIA: Oh, you made it to Epic Universe because when we spoke the first time, you didn't think you were going to make it into that particular park.

00:17:37.295 --> 00:17:38.655
NATS: Yes, I completely forgot.

00:17:38.655 --> 00:17:40.915
NATS: I hadn't booked the tickets at this point.

00:17:40.915 --> 00:17:51.035
NATS: So yeah, in the UK, it basically came out that we could then book a single day ticket even if you weren't like an annual pass holder or a resident or anything like that.

00:17:51.035 --> 00:17:56.555
NATS: Then yeah, we managed to get tickets for the preview part dates.

00:17:56.555 --> 00:18:00.095
NATS: So we got one of those as well and we did that while we were there as well.

00:18:00.095 --> 00:18:01.255
VIRGINIA: Oh my goodness.

00:18:01.255 --> 00:18:03.315
VIRGINIA: Well, what did you think about that?

00:18:05.775 --> 00:18:11.095
NATS: So I don't know if it was because we did the preview dates and a lot of things were closed.

00:18:11.915 --> 00:18:16.995
NATS: But we could appreciate how beautiful the park is.

00:18:16.995 --> 00:18:18.195
NATS: Like it is gorgeous.

00:18:18.195 --> 00:18:20.035
NATS: The theming is amazing.

00:18:20.035 --> 00:18:30.575
NATS: But we were slightly underwhelmed by it, which I think people would be quite surprised to hear because I've heard people like saying how amazing it is.

00:18:30.575 --> 00:18:33.115
NATS: But we just were a bit underwhelmed.

00:18:33.115 --> 00:18:37.695
NATS: And I think it's also because a lot of like the lands are quite niche.

00:18:37.695 --> 00:18:40.815
NATS: I think maybe not to everyone, but to us.

00:18:40.815 --> 00:18:41.355
NATS: Because like-

00:18:41.355 --> 00:18:41.615
VIRGINIA: Right.

00:18:41.615 --> 00:18:45.895
VIRGINIA: Like if you're not a Nintendo person, you can say, oh, that looks cool.

00:18:45.895 --> 00:18:50.055
VIRGINIA: But are you really going to feel that connection with it if you're not a Nintendo person?

00:18:50.055 --> 00:18:50.335
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:18:50.335 --> 00:18:50.895
VIRGINIA: Exactly.

00:18:50.895 --> 00:18:55.975
NATS: And Nintendo was the only land that we felt the connection with.

00:18:55.975 --> 00:18:59.355
NATS: And all the others, like we're not massive Harry Potter people.

00:18:59.355 --> 00:19:04.015
NATS: We're not, like, we don't really watch, like, How To Train Your Dragon and stuff like that.

00:19:04.015 --> 00:19:06.415
NATS: So we were a bit like, this is so cool.

00:19:06.415 --> 00:19:12.215
NATS: Like, it's cool to see, but we just, I don't think we could appreciate it as much as what someone else could.

00:19:12.215 --> 00:19:14.115
NATS: That maybe does have that love for it.

00:19:14.115 --> 00:19:22.795
NATS: But in Nintendo World, we were stood there and we were like, Oh my God, like, I was like, this is my childhood, because I loved Super Mario when I was younger.

00:19:24.015 --> 00:19:26.595
NATS: So, yeah, that was cool.

00:19:26.595 --> 00:19:30.615
NATS: We did some of the rides, but quite a few of them were closed while we were there.

00:19:30.615 --> 00:19:33.715
NATS: So we didn't get to do Harry Potter, the Ministry of Magic one.

00:19:35.115 --> 00:19:37.695
NATS: We did do Stardust Racers, the big roller coaster.

00:19:37.695 --> 00:19:41.235
NATS: We did that twice, and that was insanely good.

00:19:41.235 --> 00:19:44.215
NATS: Like, it was so, so good.

00:19:44.215 --> 00:19:52.435
NATS: And we did the Super Mario Minecart Madness ride, which I was so excited to do, because I'd seen it online.

00:19:52.435 --> 00:19:56.575
NATS: And then when we did it, we were a bit like, Oh, was that it?

00:19:56.575 --> 00:19:58.995
NATS: Like, we kind of thought it was going to be more.

00:20:00.195 --> 00:20:04.335
NATS: But yeah, I think we could appreciate it was a cool park.

00:20:04.755 --> 00:20:06.635
NATS: It was so cool to see.

00:20:06.635 --> 00:20:13.035
NATS: And I think if it wasn't the preview, then we might have a different experience with it or a different opinion of it.

00:20:13.035 --> 00:20:17.695
NATS: I think just because a lot of things were closed, we didn't get to see it in its full light.

00:20:17.695 --> 00:20:18.235
VIRGINIA: Right.

00:20:18.235 --> 00:20:18.935
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:20:18.935 --> 00:20:19.995
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:20:19.995 --> 00:20:20.395
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:20:20.395 --> 00:20:23.555
VIRGINIA: Well, what else did you do?

00:20:23.555 --> 00:20:23.795
NATS: Yeah.

00:20:23.795 --> 00:20:26.895
NATS: So we did all of the parks in those first two weeks.

00:20:27.735 --> 00:20:33.335
NATS: Like I say, we did Discovery Cove for the first time ever, and we absolutely loved it.

00:20:33.335 --> 00:20:36.295
NATS: That was one of our favorite days.

00:20:36.975 --> 00:20:43.775
NATS: We swam with dolphins there, which was cool, but we just loved how chilled that park was.

00:20:43.775 --> 00:20:53.515
NATS: We could just chill out for the day, but we were still out and about at a park, and all your food was included and your drinks were included, and it just felt like a different experience that day.

00:20:53.595 --> 00:20:55.715
NATS: It was insanely good.

00:20:57.095 --> 00:20:59.955
NATS: We, of course, did all of the Disney parks.

00:20:59.955 --> 00:21:08.835
NATS: We tried a restaurant that we actually hadn't ever tried before, but always wanted to, and it was, I think I mentioned last time, the Space 220 at Epcot.

00:21:08.835 --> 00:21:10.235
VIRGINIA: Yes.

00:21:10.235 --> 00:21:11.775
NATS: That was incredible.

00:21:11.775 --> 00:21:14.195
NATS: We absolutely loved that.

00:21:15.535 --> 00:21:20.895
NATS: We may not do the restaurant every time, but we'll definitely do the lounge next time we go.

00:21:20.895 --> 00:21:22.555
NATS: We just absolutely loved it.

00:21:22.655 --> 00:21:24.075
NATS: We thought it was amazing.

00:21:25.655 --> 00:21:27.455
NATS: So we did that.

00:21:27.455 --> 00:21:28.375
NATS: I'm trying to think what else.

00:21:28.375 --> 00:21:31.075
NATS: God, it feels like so long ago that we went.

00:21:31.095 --> 00:21:34.875
NATS: It was only last week that I came back.

00:21:34.875 --> 00:21:36.815
NATS: But yeah, we did all of that with them.

00:21:36.875 --> 00:21:40.395
NATS: Then when they left, we had Scott's birthday.

00:21:41.795 --> 00:21:44.855
NATS: I decorated the Villa Forum for his birthday.

00:21:44.855 --> 00:21:46.155
VIRGINIA: This was a big one too, right?

00:21:46.195 --> 00:21:48.595
VIRGINIA: It was the big 3-0?

00:21:48.595 --> 00:21:50.735
NATS: Yeah, he was 30.

00:21:50.735 --> 00:21:52.655
NATS: I decorated the Villa.

00:21:52.655 --> 00:21:56.475
NATS: I bought him a cake, a Mickey Mouse cake.

00:21:56.475 --> 00:21:58.335
NATS: We went golfing that day.

00:21:58.335 --> 00:22:00.975
NATS: Then that evening, we went to Disney Springs.

00:22:01.275 --> 00:22:05.815
NATS: He always wanted to do the amphibious car from the Boat House.

00:22:05.815 --> 00:22:07.415
NATS: So I booked that forum.

00:22:08.375 --> 00:22:09.795
NATS: He loved it.

00:22:09.795 --> 00:22:12.795
NATS: He genuinely loved it.

00:22:12.795 --> 00:22:17.015
NATS: Then after that, he was like, why don't we go up in the balloon?

00:22:17.015 --> 00:22:19.215
NATS: I was like, what?

00:22:19.215 --> 00:22:19.935
NATS: We did it.

00:22:19.935 --> 00:22:21.735
NATS: I'm not joking.

00:22:21.735 --> 00:22:23.815
NATS: My legs went like jelly.

00:22:23.815 --> 00:22:29.275
NATS: I've never been scared of heights ever until I was up in that balloon and I could not move.

00:22:29.275 --> 00:22:32.875
NATS: I was literally like, no, get me down.

00:22:32.875 --> 00:22:38.155
VIRGINIA: I heard the wind up there can be the scary part.

00:22:38.155 --> 00:22:38.835
NATS: Yeah.

00:22:38.835 --> 00:22:46.255
NATS: When we were coming back down, it was swaying side to side and I was like, please, just make this end.

00:22:48.835 --> 00:22:53.375
NATS: We had a really cool, the gentleman that was working on the balloon.

00:22:53.375 --> 00:22:54.655
NATS: He was amazing.

00:22:54.655 --> 00:22:57.515
NATS: His name was John and he was incredible.

00:22:57.515 --> 00:23:03.975
NATS: While we were up in the air, he literally got everyone on the balloon to sing Happy Birthday to Scott.

00:23:04.055 --> 00:23:07.735
NATS: Then he was on his walkie-talkie to the people that he obviously works with.

00:23:07.735 --> 00:23:11.335
NATS: He was like, I've never done this before, but it's the best day of my life.

00:23:11.895 --> 00:23:14.095
NATS: He was loving it.

00:23:14.095 --> 00:23:19.635
NATS: He made it super special and it was such a lovely evening.

00:23:19.635 --> 00:23:21.175
NATS: That was a good day.

00:23:22.895 --> 00:23:26.355
NATS: My mom and dad had went home the day before Scott's birthday.

00:23:26.935 --> 00:23:30.615
NATS: We obviously spent his birthday doing all of that stuff.

00:23:30.615 --> 00:23:33.595
NATS: Then for the last week, it was just obviously Scott and I.

00:23:33.595 --> 00:23:41.835
NATS: We did have a little bit more chill, but we still did a few hours at the park in the day, a few hours at the park in the evening.

00:23:41.835 --> 00:23:45.795
NATS: Then we actually did the four-part challenge on one of the days.

00:23:46.415 --> 00:23:47.295
VIRGINIA: Wow.

00:23:47.295 --> 00:23:48.575
NATS: I loved that.

00:23:48.575 --> 00:23:52.555
NATS: Scott, not so much, but I loved it.

00:23:53.615 --> 00:23:54.855
VIRGINIA: Oh my goodness.

00:23:54.855 --> 00:23:58.495
VIRGINIA: You wore special shirts for this day too, right?

00:23:58.495 --> 00:24:02.315
NATS: I actually took 20 t-shirts with me.

00:24:02.315 --> 00:24:10.235
NATS: But I think I wore two of them because I was so hot over there because of how warm it is this time of year.

00:24:10.235 --> 00:24:12.235
NATS: I was like, I can't wear a t-shirt.

00:24:12.235 --> 00:24:17.135
NATS: So I ended up wearing sports dresses most of the time because I was just so hot.

00:24:17.135 --> 00:24:22.515
NATS: But I did do one outfit per park on the four-part challenge day.

00:24:22.515 --> 00:24:27.395
NATS: So I was getting changed in the car when we got to each of the parks.

00:24:27.395 --> 00:24:31.135
NATS: It actually helped a lot with how hot it was.

00:24:31.135 --> 00:24:32.015
VIRGINIA: I bet it did.

00:24:32.015 --> 00:24:36.775
VIRGINIA: I bet it was nice to put on something clean at each stopping point.

00:24:37.075 --> 00:24:40.555
VIRGINIA: Well, tell me the order that you did things in.

00:24:40.555 --> 00:24:45.615
VIRGINIA: And I should say, the order you did things in, and did you have any other rules for yourselves?

00:24:45.615 --> 00:24:58.315
VIRGINIA: Because when my son Alex and I did a four-part challenge, our rule was that we had to ride at least one ride, have at least one snack, and take a photo in front of the park icon.

00:24:58.315 --> 00:25:00.215
VIRGINIA: So what were your rules?

00:25:00.535 --> 00:25:04.775
NATS: Exactly the same, except then I threw in the one outfit per park.

00:25:05.175 --> 00:25:09.395
NATS: Scott did not do the one outfit per park, that was just me.

00:25:09.395 --> 00:25:11.355
NATS: But yeah, we did the same as you.

00:25:11.355 --> 00:25:15.075
NATS: So one snack, the photo, and then one ride.

00:25:15.075 --> 00:25:18.975
NATS: So we started with Animal Kingdom.

00:25:19.315 --> 00:25:21.735
VIRGINIA: Makes sense because it opens the earliest.

00:25:21.735 --> 00:25:22.975
NATS: Exactly, yep.

00:25:22.975 --> 00:25:29.075
NATS: And when we got there, Avatar Flight of Passage was like a 40-minute wait.

00:25:29.075 --> 00:25:32.035
NATS: And we were like, and we love Avatar.

00:25:32.035 --> 00:25:33.795
NATS: So we were like, let's just do it.

00:25:34.295 --> 00:25:35.095
NATS: Let's just do it.

00:25:35.095 --> 00:25:38.515
NATS: So we just went and we did that one.

00:25:38.515 --> 00:25:44.955
NATS: And we had actually did Avatar Flight of Passage the day before, because we did that in Animal Kingdom the day before the four-part challenge as well.

00:25:44.955 --> 00:25:46.735
NATS: But we're like, we're doing it.

00:25:46.735 --> 00:25:48.415
NATS: So we went and did that first.

00:25:48.415 --> 00:25:50.555
NATS: And that was incredible as always.

00:25:50.555 --> 00:25:55.855
NATS: And we actually met a really lovely couple in the queue for Flight of Passage.

00:25:55.855 --> 00:25:58.755
NATS: And they were just the sweetest people ever.

00:25:58.815 --> 00:26:04.355
NATS: Like, it turns out the gentleman that we were speaking to used to be an NFL player.

00:26:04.355 --> 00:26:06.755
NATS: Like in the 80s, he was, he was lovely.

00:26:06.755 --> 00:26:09.735
NATS: But it was their first time doing it and they loved it as well.

00:26:09.735 --> 00:26:12.055
NATS: So yeah, that was super cool.

00:26:12.055 --> 00:26:18.335
NATS: And then we headed around to the Tree of Life, got our photo, et cetera.

00:26:18.335 --> 00:26:22.755
NATS: And I was desperate to try the new Family Churros.

00:26:22.755 --> 00:26:25.315
NATS: It's like a sharing Family Churros.

00:26:25.315 --> 00:26:26.375
NATS: And I think I like-

00:26:26.615 --> 00:26:29.435
VIRGINIA: Oh, wait, where are these from?

00:26:29.555 --> 00:26:39.095
NATS: I can't remember the name of the little shack, but it's literally, as you're looking at the Tree of Life, on the right, there's like a little stand there.

00:26:39.095 --> 00:26:40.895
VIRGINIA: Oh, I know the stand you're talking about.

00:26:40.895 --> 00:26:41.495
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:26:41.495 --> 00:26:41.855
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:26:41.855 --> 00:26:42.235
NATS: Yeah.

00:26:42.235 --> 00:26:43.835
NATS: So I got them there.

00:26:45.055 --> 00:26:52.335
NATS: I think I underestimated it though, because you literally get like 21 pieces of like little churro.

00:26:52.335 --> 00:26:56.035
NATS: And I was like sat there myself and Scott had already eaten that morning.

00:26:56.115 --> 00:26:58.495
NATS: So he was like having like a tiny bit.

00:26:58.495 --> 00:27:00.995
NATS: And I was like, I can't eat this.

00:27:00.995 --> 00:27:03.135
NATS: But they were incredible.

00:27:03.135 --> 00:27:05.575
NATS: They were so, so good and so worth it.

00:27:05.575 --> 00:27:07.915
NATS: Like I had waited all holiday for them.

00:27:07.915 --> 00:27:09.315
NATS: And they were amazing.

00:27:10.555 --> 00:27:12.495
NATS: So yeah, we did that.

00:27:12.495 --> 00:27:14.655
NATS: And then we headed out of there.

00:27:14.655 --> 00:27:17.475
NATS: And God, I'm trying to remember now.

00:27:17.475 --> 00:27:21.295
NATS: We headed out of there and we headed to Hollywood Studios.

00:27:21.375 --> 00:27:30.455
NATS: And I had put on my Sorcerer Mickey T-shirt with my cycle shorts and my little Sorcerer Mickey ears.

00:27:30.455 --> 00:27:37.655
NATS: And we went and we did Toy Story Mania because that is our favorite ride in that park.

00:27:37.655 --> 00:27:40.535
NATS: Scott beat me, which was not good.

00:27:40.535 --> 00:27:43.875
NATS: Because we had done it twice on the trip already.

00:27:43.875 --> 00:27:45.515
NATS: And it was like one each.

00:27:45.555 --> 00:27:49.875
VIRGINIA: And then he won overall because he was the tiebreaker, got it.

00:27:49.875 --> 00:27:51.215
NATS: So it wasn't good.

00:27:51.215 --> 00:27:52.215
NATS: But yeah, we did that.

00:27:52.215 --> 00:27:54.895
NATS: And then our snack there, we actually had lunch there.

00:27:54.895 --> 00:27:57.755
NATS: So we just went to Backlot, which is our favorite.

00:27:57.755 --> 00:28:01.895
NATS: And we just had like chicken tenders, chips, all that.

00:28:01.895 --> 00:28:03.755
NATS: Sorry, chicken tenders and fries.

00:28:03.755 --> 00:28:05.135
NATS: I always forget.

00:28:06.535 --> 00:28:08.895
NATS: So we had that as like our little snack.

00:28:08.895 --> 00:28:11.175
NATS: And we got our photo.

00:28:11.475 --> 00:28:17.315
NATS: But then I, because I had my Sorcerer Mickey stuff on, I wanted to go meet Sorcerer Mickey.

00:28:17.315 --> 00:28:18.415
NATS: So I went and did that.

00:28:18.415 --> 00:28:24.075
NATS: And while I did that, Scott went and did Single Rider for Rock and Roller Coaster.

00:28:24.075 --> 00:28:26.075
NATS: So, yeah, so we did that.

00:28:26.075 --> 00:28:27.955
NATS: And then we met back up afterwards.

00:28:29.575 --> 00:28:32.855
NATS: And then we headed from there to Epcot.

00:28:32.855 --> 00:28:35.335
VIRGINIA: Did you do Skyliner or did you walk?

00:28:35.335 --> 00:28:42.635
NATS: So because we had the car, we just drove and it was a five minute drive to the parks, which was super easy.

00:28:44.155 --> 00:28:50.995
NATS: But when we got there, we did stand by queue for Guardians of Galaxy.

00:28:52.035 --> 00:28:55.495
NATS: And it was posted as a 45-minute wait time.

00:28:55.495 --> 00:29:06.395
NATS: And then we were having a chat about it because I was like, I don't know if the 45 minutes is to the pre-show part, or is it to when you physically sit in the car?

00:29:06.395 --> 00:29:07.975
VIRGINIA: That's a good question.

00:29:07.975 --> 00:29:08.815
NATS: I wasn't sure.

00:29:09.415 --> 00:29:13.975
NATS: In my head, I always think of the pre-show as like part of the ride.

00:29:13.975 --> 00:29:16.215
NATS: So I was like, I'm taking it as that.

00:29:16.215 --> 00:29:19.995
NATS: And we got to the pre-show within 20 minutes.

00:29:19.995 --> 00:29:23.075
NATS: And then we got on the ride and I checked the time again.

00:29:23.075 --> 00:29:27.915
NATS: And it was like literally when we sat in the car, that was 45 minutes.

00:29:27.915 --> 00:29:28.915
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:29:28.915 --> 00:29:30.595
NATS: I was like, okay, that makes sense.

00:29:30.595 --> 00:29:32.435
NATS: So we did that.

00:29:32.435 --> 00:29:37.055
NATS: And we got Konga as our song, which Scott was very happy about.

00:29:38.995 --> 00:29:41.495
NATS: And then we headed to, where did we go after that?

00:29:41.495 --> 00:29:44.795
NATS: We headed over to the Italy Pavilion.

00:29:44.795 --> 00:29:51.895
NATS: And we got some gelato because we are obsessed with the gelato from this little stand at Italy.

00:29:51.895 --> 00:29:54.375
NATS: It's literally just outside Italy.

00:29:54.375 --> 00:29:56.495
NATS: I can't remember the name of it for the life of me.

00:29:56.495 --> 00:29:57.335
NATS: But it just sits there.

00:29:57.335 --> 00:29:58.675
VIRGINIA: I don't even know if it has a name.

00:29:58.675 --> 00:30:01.515
VIRGINIA: I feel like it's just the gelato stand.

00:30:02.895 --> 00:30:05.275
NATS: But the gelato from there is incredible.

00:30:05.715 --> 00:30:11.615
NATS: We get it every time we go to Epcot, a scoop of vanilla and a scoop of cookies and cream and we shade it.

00:30:11.615 --> 00:30:16.035
NATS: And we were just sat there on the wall at Epcot and it was so hot.

00:30:16.035 --> 00:30:18.155
NATS: And we were like, oh, this is the life.

00:30:18.155 --> 00:30:19.455
NATS: It was amazing.

00:30:21.075 --> 00:30:21.875
NATS: So yeah, we did that.

00:30:21.875 --> 00:30:25.775
NATS: And then we headed from there over to Magic Kingdom.

00:30:25.775 --> 00:30:32.895
NATS: And we basically ended up in Magic Kingdom because that was our final day of our Disney tickets.

00:30:32.895 --> 00:30:34.555
NATS: So our Disney tickets ran out that day.

00:30:35.055 --> 00:30:38.895
NATS: So I was like, I kind of want to end our Disney with fireworks.

00:30:38.895 --> 00:30:41.115
NATS: So that's why we kind of left that to last.

00:30:41.115 --> 00:30:45.495
NATS: So we went there and we did Tron.

00:30:45.495 --> 00:30:46.595
NATS: No, we didn't do Tron.

00:30:46.595 --> 00:30:48.015
NATS: Sorry, I'm completely lying.

00:30:48.015 --> 00:30:49.555
NATS: We did Space Mountain.

00:30:49.555 --> 00:30:51.975
NATS: I did Tron on another day.

00:30:51.975 --> 00:30:53.375
NATS: We did Space Mountain.

00:30:53.375 --> 00:30:55.995
NATS: And we...

00:30:55.995 --> 00:30:57.655
NATS: What snack did we get there?

00:30:57.655 --> 00:31:02.135
NATS: I think we got like a Rice Crispy Mickey Bar or something like that from there.

00:31:02.135 --> 00:31:04.015
NATS: And we also had some dinner in there as well.

00:31:04.155 --> 00:31:07.795
NATS: Like Scott got like a burger and stuff like that in there.

00:31:07.795 --> 00:31:10.655
NATS: But yeah, I think we had like a Mickey Bar thing.

00:31:10.655 --> 00:31:11.635
NATS: I'm pretty sure we did.

00:31:11.635 --> 00:31:16.515
NATS: And I also had a Powerade Slush from there as well.

00:31:16.515 --> 00:31:20.335
NATS: So we had that there and then we watched the fireworks.

00:31:20.335 --> 00:31:33.135
NATS: And then we went shopping on Main Street because my friend Lisa, who also does the Disney stuff like on Instagram and YouTube, I wanted to get her something to take home.

00:31:33.315 --> 00:31:40.935
NATS: So we were like, we spent so long in these shops on Main Street, looking for something that I could take home for Lisa.

00:31:40.935 --> 00:31:43.375
NATS: And by the end, Scott was like, you are buying her this.

00:31:43.375 --> 00:31:44.975
NATS: Take it to the checkout.

00:31:46.615 --> 00:31:47.515
VIRGINIA: He was over it.

00:31:47.515 --> 00:31:50.915
VIRGINIA: He was like, just pick something, please.

00:31:50.915 --> 00:31:52.715
VIRGINIA: And Lisa, you sent my way.

00:31:52.715 --> 00:31:55.555
VIRGINIA: And so I have already spoken with her.

00:31:55.555 --> 00:31:55.835
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:31:55.835 --> 00:31:56.355
VIRGINIA: You have.

00:31:56.575 --> 00:31:58.055
VIRGINIA: We did a pre-trip interview.

00:31:58.055 --> 00:32:01.055
VIRGINIA: So I'm looking forward to talking to her after her trip is over.

00:32:01.795 --> 00:32:02.075
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:32:02.075 --> 00:32:03.255
NATS: She goes so soon.

00:32:03.255 --> 00:32:07.355
NATS: And that was like the nice thing because like, I was so excited for our trip.

00:32:07.355 --> 00:32:10.415
NATS: And then when it was over, I was like, oh man, like it's done.

00:32:10.415 --> 00:32:12.675
NATS: And I was like, oh, but I can live through Lisa.

00:32:12.675 --> 00:32:16.195
NATS: Like she's going to be posted and she'll be phoning me, like telling me all about it.

00:32:16.195 --> 00:32:19.195
NATS: Like that was super nice.

00:32:19.195 --> 00:32:22.335
NATS: So yeah, got her vlogs to look forward to now that I'm back.

00:32:22.335 --> 00:32:23.295
NATS: So yeah.

00:32:23.295 --> 00:32:29.815
VIRGINIA: And I will make sure that both of your information is in the show notes so people can follow along with both your trip and Lisa's trip.

00:32:30.535 --> 00:32:34.675
VIRGINIA: And I'll do the same on her so that your stuff will be posted in hers.

00:32:34.675 --> 00:32:38.895
VIRGINIA: I have a couple of things that you had mentioned during your pre-trip that I wanted to ask about.

00:32:38.895 --> 00:32:45.595
VIRGINIA: So first of all, you were talking about going over to Kennedy Space Center.

00:32:45.595 --> 00:32:46.855
VIRGINIA: Did that happen?

00:32:46.855 --> 00:32:47.795
NATS: Yes.

00:32:47.795 --> 00:32:48.095
NATS: Yes.

00:32:48.095 --> 00:32:48.915
NATS: That's sorry.

00:32:48.915 --> 00:32:54.275
NATS: It feels like so long ago that I completely, like my head is fried.

00:32:54.835 --> 00:32:55.555
NATS: We did go.

00:32:55.555 --> 00:33:01.035
NATS: So we drove down and it was actually one of our favorite days.

00:33:01.035 --> 00:33:02.795
NATS: We actually loved it.

00:33:02.795 --> 00:33:04.215
NATS: It was so good.

00:33:04.215 --> 00:33:17.995
NATS: What I would say is, if you can be down that way for more than just one day, do more than one day at it because there's a lot to see, there's a lot to do, and it is just incredible.

00:33:17.995 --> 00:33:26.915
NATS: Take in every moment because I was so humbled when I was there by everything and what was going on and what people had experienced.

00:33:27.135 --> 00:33:28.375
NATS: It was just incredible.

00:33:28.375 --> 00:33:30.295
NATS: Honestly, we absolutely loved it.

00:33:30.895 --> 00:33:33.315
NATS: Yeah, I've done a vlog on that as well over on my channel.

00:33:33.315 --> 00:33:36.595
NATS: I'm actually editing it at the moment so that it can go out this week.

00:33:36.595 --> 00:33:37.275
VIRGINIA: Perfect.

00:33:37.875 --> 00:33:40.775
NATS: But yeah, it was awesome.

00:33:40.775 --> 00:33:48.395
VIRGINIA: All right, another off-site thing that you had talked about, maybe, trying to do was Gatorland.

00:33:48.395 --> 00:33:48.635
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:33:48.635 --> 00:33:50.955
VIRGINIA: Did you go to Gatorland?

00:33:50.955 --> 00:33:51.295
NATS: No.

00:33:51.295 --> 00:33:59.595
NATS: Do you know what, because of everything, we were trying to squeeze in for my mom and dad with the parks and stuff, we just didn't have time.

00:33:59.595 --> 00:34:12.635
NATS: We did, however, experience some Gators because we go to celebration in some of the mornings and sit by the lake with a coffee and just watch the world go by.

00:34:13.735 --> 00:34:17.395
NATS: There was little Gators right in front of us in the lake there.

00:34:17.455 --> 00:34:25.295
NATS: Then also, we went to a mini-golf on the US 192 called Congo River.

00:34:25.295 --> 00:34:31.555
NATS: There, there's loads of Gators and this pool thing that they have there.

00:34:31.555 --> 00:34:33.095
NATS: You can feed them and stuff there.

00:34:33.095 --> 00:34:37.195
NATS: We've seen some Gators there as well when we were there.

00:34:37.195 --> 00:34:38.315
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:34:39.295 --> 00:34:45.655
VIRGINIA: Then you were surprised by Scott with tickets to H2O Glow Night.

00:34:45.655 --> 00:34:46.955
VIRGINIA: Tell me all about that.

00:34:46.955 --> 00:34:48.095
NATS: Yes.

00:34:48.095 --> 00:34:56.155
NATS: That was honestly, when I say that was the best night that we had on that holiday, I can't even explain.

00:34:56.155 --> 00:35:02.295
NATS: I knew it was going to be good, but I just didn't think it would be as good as what it was.

00:35:02.295 --> 00:35:03.855
NATS: I was blown away by it.

00:35:04.015 --> 00:35:09.455
NATS: Now, if it's on, anytime that I go to Florida, I will not skip it.

00:35:10.095 --> 00:35:13.435
NATS: I will always do it because it was just incredible.

00:35:14.715 --> 00:35:16.915
NATS: We actually went to Typhoon Lagoon.

00:35:18.135 --> 00:35:24.455
NATS: We were very silly and we went on a Saturday, and we didn't get on a single slide.

00:35:24.455 --> 00:35:26.155
NATS: It was just so busy.

00:35:26.155 --> 00:35:29.395
NATS: The queues were an hour long for the slides.

00:35:30.555 --> 00:35:36.315
NATS: The wave pool was just so crowded, and we ended up leaving after a few hours.

00:35:36.315 --> 00:35:38.595
NATS: That and the fact it started thunder and lightning.

00:35:39.055 --> 00:35:41.535
NATS: So we left.

00:35:41.535 --> 00:35:49.275
NATS: But we were quite fortunate that we then had H2O glow nights, because that's limited capacity.

00:35:49.295 --> 00:35:54.755
NATS: So everything was like a walk on, and it was so quiet everywhere.

00:35:54.755 --> 00:35:56.975
NATS: The vibe was just insane.

00:35:58.195 --> 00:36:01.875
NATS: I can't explain how happy that night made me.

00:36:02.375 --> 00:36:04.115
NATS: It was so, so good.

00:36:04.115 --> 00:36:11.235
VIRGINIA: I have done H2O glow nights twice now, and it's the only way I've ever done Typhoon Lagoon.

00:36:11.235 --> 00:36:17.135
VIRGINIA: So I'm a little bit spoiled because you're right, you go in there, there's absolutely no wait.

00:36:17.135 --> 00:36:20.535
VIRGINIA: You can do everything you want to do multiple times.

00:36:20.535 --> 00:36:21.135
NATS: Yeah.

00:36:21.135 --> 00:36:25.095
VIRGINIA: And it's just so relaxing, and it's cool to be there at night.

00:36:26.355 --> 00:36:28.635
NATS: It's just a definite expedience, isn't it?

00:36:28.855 --> 00:36:36.915
NATS: We have done Typhoon Lagoon before like mid-week when it's been like super quiet, and we've got on everything like it's super quick.

00:36:36.915 --> 00:36:52.895
NATS: But now that we've done H20 glow nights, we're like, we would just do that instead, because honestly, we were a bit like skeptical about like, are we going to come out the water late at night and it's going to be freezing because we're wet and it's nighttime.

00:36:52.895 --> 00:36:56.795
NATS: And we were like, I don't know why we thought that because we were in Florida.

00:36:56.795 --> 00:37:03.835
NATS: But we got out the water and we were like roasting still, but it was still really hot and we were like, this is insane.

00:37:03.835 --> 00:37:07.875
NATS: And it was just, yeah, like I say, the vibe was just incredible.

00:37:07.875 --> 00:37:10.015
NATS: You could just tell everyone was so happy to be there.

00:37:10.015 --> 00:37:18.615
NATS: And I was just stood at one point and I was like, I'm on a beach at 11 o'clock at night with Buzz Lightyear in my bikini.

00:37:18.615 --> 00:37:20.655
NATS: Like what is my life?

00:37:22.135 --> 00:37:23.195
NATS: It was just insane.

00:37:23.195 --> 00:37:24.395
NATS: It was so good.

00:37:24.395 --> 00:37:31.015
VIRGINIA: Did you do, I cannot remember what it's called, but the tallest one where it's like straight down?

00:37:31.015 --> 00:37:32.475
NATS: I don't know.

00:37:32.475 --> 00:37:34.495
NATS: Cause I thought that was at Blessed Beach.

00:37:34.495 --> 00:37:39.415
VIRGINIA: No, they have one that's similar at Typhoon Lagoon.

00:37:39.415 --> 00:37:47.135
NATS: So I did one at Typhoon Lagoon and there was, it was like three slides and they're like straight down.

00:37:47.135 --> 00:37:47.895
NATS: And I did that.

00:37:47.895 --> 00:37:50.835
NATS: And I've got a video on my underwater camera of me doing it.

00:37:50.835 --> 00:37:55.855
NATS: And at the end I'm like moaning because I'm like, Oh my God, that was so sore.

00:37:55.995 --> 00:38:01.895
NATS: Like, because the water at the bottom just like completely like hurt my back.

00:38:01.895 --> 00:38:04.975
NATS: But yeah, I don't know if I did the big one that you're mentioning.

00:38:04.975 --> 00:38:07.515
VIRGINIA: I think it's called Humonga Cowabunga.

00:38:07.515 --> 00:38:10.095
NATS: Yes, that's the one I'm talking about.

00:38:10.095 --> 00:38:12.315
VIRGINIA: Yes, where it's straight down.

00:38:12.315 --> 00:38:13.075
NATS: Yeah.

00:38:13.075 --> 00:38:15.755
NATS: Yeah, there's three of them next to each other.

00:38:15.755 --> 00:38:17.595
NATS: And it's literally just straight.

00:38:17.595 --> 00:38:27.155
NATS: Honestly, the force of the water on that, when I got to the bottom, Scott turned to me and the two of us were like, ow, that was so sore.

00:38:27.155 --> 00:38:32.055
NATS: And after that, I was limping away like, Scott, I don't want to do that again.

00:38:32.055 --> 00:38:34.295
NATS: But no, it was so good.

00:38:34.295 --> 00:38:35.435
NATS: It was so, so good.

00:38:35.435 --> 00:38:38.695
VIRGINIA: I like the one that's the, it's a water coaster.

00:38:38.695 --> 00:38:40.035
VIRGINIA: I think it might be Crushing Gushers.

00:38:40.035 --> 00:38:41.195
NATS: Crushing Gushers.

00:38:41.195 --> 00:38:45.715
VIRGINIA: Yeah, because I like going down the little slides and being put back up the next one.

00:38:45.715 --> 00:38:47.155
NATS: It is amazing.

00:38:47.155 --> 00:38:48.375
NATS: That's one of our favorites.

00:38:48.375 --> 00:38:50.035
NATS: We love that one.

00:38:50.035 --> 00:38:56.375
VIRGINIA: You were also planning on this trip to do a little Epcot drink around the world with your parents.

00:38:56.375 --> 00:38:56.535
NATS: We do.

00:38:56.535 --> 00:38:58.375
VIRGINIA: So how did that go?

00:38:58.375 --> 00:39:00.635
VIRGINIA: Was everyone still standing at the end?

00:39:00.635 --> 00:39:01.155
VIRGINIA: We were.

00:39:01.155 --> 00:39:05.835
NATS: Yeah, we did do it and we were actually okay at the end.

00:39:05.835 --> 00:39:12.675
NATS: It was so cool because during it, it started like really heavy thunder and lightning.

00:39:12.675 --> 00:39:15.515
NATS: And I'm talking like forks of lightning.

00:39:15.515 --> 00:39:16.195
NATS: It was so cool.

00:39:16.195 --> 00:39:19.775
NATS: So at one point, we were sat at the China Pavilion.

00:39:21.195 --> 00:39:23.455
NATS: No, was it China or was it Japan?

00:39:23.455 --> 00:39:24.355
NATS: Whatever one it was.

00:39:24.355 --> 00:39:28.455
NATS: We were sat there with our drinks on the wall and it starts raining and we don't even care.

00:39:28.455 --> 00:39:34.535
NATS: We're just sat there and we're just watching this lightning in the sky and like my dad loves thunder and lightning.

00:39:34.535 --> 00:39:37.015
NATS: So he was like, this is the best day ever.

00:39:37.015 --> 00:39:38.155
NATS: I've got a beer.

00:39:38.155 --> 00:39:39.135
NATS: There's lightning.

00:39:39.135 --> 00:39:39.995
NATS: I'm on holiday.

00:39:39.995 --> 00:39:42.715
NATS: Like it was just so fun.

00:39:42.715 --> 00:39:46.435
NATS: And then my dad, like he started this little like league on his phone.

00:39:46.955 --> 00:39:59.595
NATS: So he was like rating all of the countries out of like whatever he was, him and Scott were winding me up on my vlogs and they were rating everything out of 7.5 just to annoy me.

00:39:59.595 --> 00:40:06.415
NATS: So he was rating them all out of 7.5 and he got to like the British one and he was like, this is amazing.

00:40:06.415 --> 00:40:07.155
NATS: I love this.

00:40:07.155 --> 00:40:10.815
NATS: And then that was like leading for a long time.

00:40:10.815 --> 00:40:14.895
NATS: And then he went to the America Pavilion and he was like, oh no, this is better.

00:40:16.215 --> 00:40:21.875
NATS: He was like, the vibe around here, like the music's on in the background, like all that stuff.

00:40:21.875 --> 00:40:29.415
NATS: But that was like a nice little added thing that like we could focus on like was rating everything and how we like enjoyed it and stuff.

00:40:29.415 --> 00:40:30.015
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:40:30.015 --> 00:40:35.455
VIRGINIA: Did you each get your own drink in every country or were you splitting?

00:40:35.455 --> 00:40:38.215
NATS: So my dad got one in every country.

00:40:39.575 --> 00:40:42.255
NATS: Me and Scott shared in all the countries.

00:40:42.635 --> 00:40:46.415
NATS: My mom, she doesn't drink, so she wasn't.

00:40:46.415 --> 00:40:50.955
NATS: But yeah, me and Scott shared and my dad, he had one in every country.

00:40:50.955 --> 00:40:51.755
VIRGINIA: Wow.

00:40:51.755 --> 00:40:52.695
VIRGINIA: Wow.

00:40:52.695 --> 00:40:53.115
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:40:53.115 --> 00:40:54.035
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:40:54.035 --> 00:40:57.735
VIRGINIA: Well, have you converted them to be Disney people?

00:40:57.735 --> 00:40:59.795
NATS: So we have.

00:40:59.795 --> 00:41:06.515
NATS: And on the last day of their trip, we took them to the airport and my dad was like crying.

00:41:06.515 --> 00:41:08.275
NATS: He did not want to leave.

00:41:08.275 --> 00:41:11.235
NATS: He was ready for like extending their trip by a week.

00:41:11.695 --> 00:41:14.955
NATS: And just staying for the last week with us.

00:41:14.955 --> 00:41:17.235
NATS: And my mum couldn't because of her work.

00:41:17.235 --> 00:41:18.635
NATS: So they flew home.

00:41:18.635 --> 00:41:23.735
NATS: And then the next day, my mum was like, my boss said I should have just extended and stayed.

00:41:23.735 --> 00:41:24.995
NATS: And now I'm so sad.

00:41:24.995 --> 00:41:25.555
VIRGINIA: Oh no.

00:41:25.555 --> 00:41:26.475
NATS: Yeah.

00:41:26.475 --> 00:41:32.575
NATS: But they've now booked some time off at work to come back next year with us.

00:41:32.575 --> 00:41:33.975
VIRGINIA: Oh, wow.

00:41:34.115 --> 00:41:35.475
VIRGINIA: That's amazing.

00:41:35.475 --> 00:41:36.695
NATS: So they loved it.

00:41:36.695 --> 00:41:37.655
VIRGINIA: Well done, Nats.

00:41:37.655 --> 00:41:38.075
VIRGINIA: You did it.

00:41:38.935 --> 00:41:39.475
NATS: I did it.

00:41:39.595 --> 00:41:40.915
VIRGINIA: I did it.

00:41:42.575 --> 00:41:43.075
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:41:43.075 --> 00:41:47.055
VIRGINIA: I know you had some fun dining plans.

00:41:47.055 --> 00:41:51.615
VIRGINIA: I think you were planning to go to STK for Scott's birthday.

00:41:51.615 --> 00:41:52.735
VIRGINIA: Did that end up happening?

00:41:53.015 --> 00:41:53.475
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:41:53.475 --> 00:41:54.215
NATS: Yeah, it did.

00:41:54.415 --> 00:41:54.895
VIRGINIA: How was it?

00:41:55.035 --> 00:41:55.995
NATS: So we went there.

00:41:55.995 --> 00:41:57.555
NATS: It was really nice, actually.

00:41:57.555 --> 00:42:00.415
NATS: Scott loved his steak that he had there.

00:42:00.415 --> 00:42:04.315
NATS: It's such a nice atmosphere and vibe in there, which was nice.

00:42:04.315 --> 00:42:11.035
NATS: What I would say though is there's a restaurant that we go to on the US 192 that we love.

00:42:11.035 --> 00:42:13.315
NATS: It's called Outback Steak House.

00:42:13.675 --> 00:42:14.195
VIRGINIA: It's a chain.

00:42:14.195 --> 00:42:15.155
VIRGINIA: I'm familiar.

00:42:15.155 --> 00:42:15.715
NATS: I've seen it.

00:42:15.715 --> 00:42:16.215
NATS: Oh, well.

00:42:16.215 --> 00:42:16.675
VIRGINIA: Yes.

00:42:16.675 --> 00:42:17.155
VIRGINIA: Oh, my God.

00:42:17.155 --> 00:42:17.655
VIRGINIA: It's everywhere.

00:42:17.655 --> 00:42:19.075
VIRGINIA: I got one down the road here in New York City.

00:42:19.075 --> 00:42:20.735
NATS: Oh, amazing.

00:42:20.735 --> 00:42:27.315
NATS: Scott is obsessed with it, obsessed and we took my mom and dad there one of the nights.

00:42:27.315 --> 00:42:33.435
NATS: They were so shocked by how amazing the food is for the value of the money that you pay.

00:42:34.795 --> 00:42:40.155
NATS: We were so blown away by the price of it in comparison to how amazing it was.

00:42:41.775 --> 00:42:51.495
NATS: SDK was amazing, but I genuinely think in future we would probably do Outback Steakhouse over SDK, and that's not just a price thing.

00:42:51.495 --> 00:43:00.115
NATS: It's just like the service that we get at Outback Steakhouse and the choice of food that you have on the menu.

00:43:00.115 --> 00:43:02.055
NATS: All of that we just absolutely love.

00:43:02.955 --> 00:43:05.855
NATS: But SDK was a really nice experience.

00:43:05.855 --> 00:43:08.915
VIRGINIA: Did you have a Bloomin Onion at Outback?

00:43:08.915 --> 00:43:10.035
NATS: I didn't.

00:43:10.035 --> 00:43:12.275
NATS: Is that the big, massive onion ring thing?

00:43:12.455 --> 00:43:18.515
NATS: So my dad did ask Scott to share it with him, but Scott was like, no, I had a big lunch.

00:43:18.515 --> 00:43:19.655
NATS: I cannot.

00:43:21.735 --> 00:43:26.775
VIRGINIA: Did you go to any other restaurants in Disney Springs over the course of your trip?

00:43:26.775 --> 00:43:27.155
NATS: Yes.

00:43:27.155 --> 00:43:28.935
NATS: So we did Planet Hollywood.

00:43:28.935 --> 00:43:31.455
NATS: We always tend to go there at least one night.

00:43:31.555 --> 00:43:33.135
NATS: So we did that.

00:43:33.135 --> 00:43:34.795
NATS: I had a little cocktail in there.

00:43:34.795 --> 00:43:35.795
NATS: We had a little dessert.

00:43:35.795 --> 00:43:37.955
NATS: It was so nice.

00:43:37.955 --> 00:43:40.675
NATS: And then we also did one that we hadn't done before.

00:43:40.675 --> 00:43:42.515
NATS: We did it just me and Scott.

00:43:42.795 --> 00:43:45.875
NATS: And it was the Wolfgang Puck restaurant.

00:43:45.875 --> 00:43:48.175
NATS: So we went there and that was so nice.

00:43:48.175 --> 00:43:50.235
NATS: It was so lovely.

00:43:50.235 --> 00:43:53.995
NATS: I just loved like how cozy it felt in that restaurant as well.

00:43:54.215 --> 00:43:56.915
NATS: It was just so chill and lovely.

00:43:56.915 --> 00:44:02.655
NATS: And then another night, me and my mum had had a late lunch, chick-fil-a, of course.

00:44:02.655 --> 00:44:06.875
NATS: And we didn't eat that evening because we had eaten late anyway.

00:44:06.875 --> 00:44:12.855
NATS: And my dad and Scott went to Blaze Pizza, while me and my mum went and did some shopping at Walt Disney.

00:44:12.855 --> 00:44:14.395
VIRGINIA: So, yeah.

00:44:14.395 --> 00:44:22.275
VIRGINIA: Did you do any of the little dessert spots while you were there, like Ghirardelli or Emirates or any of those places?

00:44:22.275 --> 00:44:23.395
NATS: We didn't, unfortunately.

00:44:23.795 --> 00:44:34.475
NATS: I'm not really a massive dessert person, which this is so funny because when I'm over there, I don't snack a lot, which is so weird.

00:44:34.475 --> 00:44:36.195
NATS: My friends are like, what are you doing?

00:44:36.195 --> 00:44:38.495
NATS: The snacks are incredible, eat them.

00:44:38.495 --> 00:44:46.175
NATS: But I'm like, see, because I'm so hot and I'm so on the go, I don't even think about snacking or anything.

00:44:46.175 --> 00:44:54.935
NATS: And I went back to work this week and one of my colleagues was like, you're the only person that goes to America and loses weight.

00:44:57.715 --> 00:45:01.135
NATS: And it's just because I literally barely eat over there.

00:45:01.135 --> 00:45:04.495
NATS: But yeah, so we didn't do many dessert spots.

00:45:04.495 --> 00:45:06.095
NATS: No.

00:45:06.475 --> 00:45:11.595
NATS: If we were having dinner somewhere and we like the look of something, we'd maybe share something or something like that.

00:45:11.595 --> 00:45:14.355
NATS: But yeah, no, we didn't do any specifics.

00:45:14.355 --> 00:45:14.635
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:45:14.635 --> 00:45:17.555
VIRGINIA: What about character meals?

00:45:17.555 --> 00:45:18.755
NATS: Not this trip, actually.

00:45:18.755 --> 00:45:19.475
NATS: No, we didn't.

00:45:20.055 --> 00:45:20.795
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:45:20.795 --> 00:45:21.375
NATS: We were going to do-

00:45:21.375 --> 00:45:22.695
VIRGINIA: I know you were thinking about it.

00:45:22.935 --> 00:45:25.715
VIRGINIA: You were trying to decide where you might do that, but-

00:45:25.715 --> 00:45:26.235
NATS: Yeah.

00:45:26.235 --> 00:45:33.835
NATS: I think just like we're trying to fit everything in for my parents and then have time out of the parks.

00:45:33.835 --> 00:45:36.775
NATS: And yeah, we just didn't.

00:45:36.775 --> 00:45:39.935
NATS: We just lost track, I think, of how many days we had.

00:45:39.935 --> 00:45:43.255
NATS: And yeah, we didn't.

00:45:43.255 --> 00:45:51.135
NATS: But we said that next time we go, so my parents are going to come for three weeks as well next year and we'll have a lot more time.

00:45:51.135 --> 00:45:58.795
NATS: And because they've done all of the parks now, we can like tone down like how much park stuff we do.

00:45:58.795 --> 00:46:07.035
NATS: And we can do like a lot more just like chilling or doing a lot more of like restaurant experiences or stuff like that, which would be quite nice.

00:46:07.035 --> 00:46:12.055
NATS: So yeah, next time we will do a lot more because I need to go back to Crystal Palace.

00:46:12.055 --> 00:46:14.155
NATS: I need to see Eeyore.

00:46:14.155 --> 00:46:14.715
VIRGINIA: Yes.

00:46:14.715 --> 00:46:16.395
VIRGINIA: And you need to have those churro waffles.

00:46:17.155 --> 00:46:17.915
NATS: Yes.

00:46:17.915 --> 00:46:18.415
NATS: Yes.

00:46:18.435 --> 00:46:21.815
NATS: I need to do breakfast instead this time.

00:46:21.815 --> 00:46:22.295
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:46:22.295 --> 00:46:25.635
VIRGINIA: Well, I think we've got a pretty good gist of your trip.

00:46:25.635 --> 00:46:33.115
VIRGINIA: Hopefully all of the listeners will head over to your YouTube channel, which is Nats Ventures, and that's N-A-T-S Ventures.

00:46:33.115 --> 00:46:36.515
VIRGINIA: And check out all of the details of your trip.

00:46:36.515 --> 00:46:42.275
VIRGINIA: I see that you have already started posting your travel day and the first couple of days.

00:46:42.275 --> 00:46:46.015
VIRGINIA: So based on how long this trip was, we got a lot more fun to come.

00:46:46.195 --> 00:46:48.695
VIRGINIA: And to anticipate on this channel.

00:46:48.915 --> 00:46:50.735
NATS: Yes, definitely.

00:46:50.735 --> 00:46:53.495
VIRGINIA: Thank you so much for joining me, Nats.

00:46:53.495 --> 00:46:55.335
VIRGINIA: I really have enjoyed talking to you.

00:46:55.335 --> 00:46:58.835
VIRGINIA: And I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your week.

00:46:58.835 --> 00:47:01.735
VIRGINIA: And I guarantee you, I'll be watching all your YouTube videos.

00:47:01.735 --> 00:47:02.375
NATS: Thank you so much.

00:47:02.375 --> 00:47:03.355
NATS: And thank you for having me.

00:47:03.355 --> 00:47:04.615
NATS: I've enjoyed speaking to you.

00:47:04.615 --> 00:47:06.135
NATS: And yeah, this has been awesome.

00:47:06.135 --> 00:47:08.695
NATS: So thank you so much.

00:47:08.695 --> 00:47:13.435
VIRGINIA: Thank you again to Nats for joining me on the show and also for sending your good friend Lisa my way.

00:47:14.115 --> 00:47:18.075
VIRGINIA: Listeners can look forward to my episodes with Lisa in July.

00:47:18.075 --> 00:47:22.695
VIRGINIA: Thank you all as always for tuning in and for continuing to support the show.

00:47:22.695 --> 00:47:29.835
VIRGINIA: There are so many ways to do that, from engaging with my social media posts to sending the show link to a friend you know will love it too.

00:47:29.835 --> 00:47:34.215
VIRGINIA: It all helps get the podcast into more people's Mickey ears.

00:47:34.215 --> 00:47:35.455
VIRGINIA: That is enough for today.

00:47:35.455 --> 00:47:39.435
VIRGINIA: I will see you all back here next week for the season four finale.

00:47:39.435 --> 00:47:42.815
VIRGINIA: In the meantime, keep daydreaming about where you long to be.
