00:00:12.017 --> 00:00:15.937
VIRGINIA: Welcome back to Where I Long to Be, a magical trip report podcast.
00:00:16.197 --> 00:00:18.777
VIRGINIA: My name is Virginia and I am your host.
00:00:19.137 --> 00:00:23.857
VIRGINIA: If you have a trip coming up and would like to be a trip report guest, please use the link in the show notes.
00:00:24.097 --> 00:00:31.097
VIRGINIA: I am currently looking for guests who will be traveling in September and beyond to any Disney or Universal property worldwide.
00:00:31.777 --> 00:00:35.697
VIRGINIA: And now let's get to today's post trip report episode.
00:00:36.377 --> 00:00:48.037
VIRGINIA: This magical group of ladies who I am dubbing The Fab Five just got back from their ultimate girls' trip to Walt Disney World where they actually met face to face for the very first time.
00:00:48.797 --> 00:00:57.757
VIRGINIA: All five ladies are content creators, four are moms, three are located on the East Coast, two are travel agents, and one is a Disneyland gal.
00:00:58.417 --> 00:01:05.017
VIRGINIA: They are all unique and special and amazing women, and together they have formed a real friendship that was born on Instagram.
00:01:05.337 --> 00:01:15.817
VIRGINIA: If you didn't get a chance to listen to their pre-trip episode, I encourage you to pause this and head to that episode first, because you will be able to compare their plans to what actually ended up happening.
00:01:16.057 --> 00:01:20.657
VIRGINIA: Also, we got to spend a little bit more time in that episode getting to know each member of the group.
00:01:21.197 --> 00:01:29.257
VIRGINIA: But if you don't follow that direction, then the important things you will need to know are that this group stayed off property at Ginger's vacation condo.
00:01:29.697 --> 00:01:34.877
VIRGINIA: They were planning lots of time together, but also had planned in advance some times that they would be doing things separately.
00:01:35.857 --> 00:01:41.997
VIRGINIA: Anj also spent part of her time participating in a travel agent retreat that you will hear reference during our conversation.
00:01:42.737 --> 00:01:52.237
VIRGINIA: Before we dive into the heart of the episode, I need to note that due to some technical issues, our California girl Sav was not able to join this post-trip interview.
00:01:52.777 --> 00:01:55.197
VIRGINIA: I'm sure you will hear throughout the episode, though.
00:01:55.437 --> 00:01:57.237
VIRGINIA: She was definitely there in spirit.
00:01:57.937 --> 00:02:01.657
VIRGINIA: Okay, I think we're ready to launch into this epic post-trip report.
00:02:02.377 --> 00:02:07.757
VIRGINIA: Here are Kristen, Angelica, aka Anj, Ginger, and Whitni.
00:02:09.457 --> 00:02:19.257
VIRGINIA: We are back, listeners, and I am here with The Fab Five minus one because Sav is having some technical difficulties.
00:02:19.277 --> 00:02:24.477
VIRGINIA: So she may join mid post-trip report, but we will see.
00:02:24.677 --> 00:02:27.637
VIRGINIA: So let's all go around the room.
00:02:27.657 --> 00:02:35.277
VIRGINIA: And if each of you could say your name, your Instagram handle, and where in the world you live, that would be great.
00:02:35.317 --> 00:02:39.677
VIRGINIA: And I will start with Kristen, and Kristen, after you, you can toss it to the next person.
00:02:40.557 --> 00:02:41.797
KRISTEN: It's Kristen.
00:02:41.917 --> 00:02:50.197
KRISTEN: My handle on Instagram is at MickeyWorldTravel underscore Kristen, and I am from Massachusetts.
00:02:50.857 --> 00:02:52.237
KRISTEN: And we'll go with Anj.
00:02:54.117 --> 00:02:57.797
ANJ: My Instagram handle is made at MagicAnj, and I am from New Jersey.
00:02:57.937 --> 00:02:59.197
ANJ: I'm going to pass it to Ginger.
00:03:00.237 --> 00:03:01.057
GINGER: Hi, y'all.
00:03:01.077 --> 00:03:01.937
GINGER: It's Ginger.
00:03:01.957 --> 00:03:06.937
GINGER: My name on Instagram is TheTravelingWorms, and I'm from the Woodlands, Texas.
00:03:07.337 --> 00:03:09.917
GINGER: And I will pass it to Whit.
00:03:10.437 --> 00:03:12.057
WHITNI: Hello, I'm Whitni.
00:03:12.417 --> 00:03:18.457
WHITNI: My Instagram handle is at Park Hop Whitni, and I am from Atlanta, Georgia.
00:03:20.417 --> 00:03:27.697
VIRGINIA: And I just want to acknowledge that as we were sitting here getting ready to record, Whitni hit 7,000 followers on Instagram.
00:03:34.377 --> 00:03:39.517
VIRGINIA: So if you are not following all of these ladies, please make sure you do so.
00:03:40.177 --> 00:03:43.337
VIRGINIA: And with that, we'll get started into all of their trip details.
00:03:43.717 --> 00:03:52.237
VIRGINIA: So this trip was Thursday, May 16th through Sunday, May 19th.
00:03:52.257 --> 00:03:55.377
VIRGINIA: So we'll start with Thursday.
00:03:55.477 --> 00:03:59.137
VIRGINIA: So Whitni and Savannah arrived the night before.
00:03:59.477 --> 00:04:02.397
VIRGINIA: So just real quick, Whitni and Savannah's not here.
00:04:02.417 --> 00:04:08.457
VIRGINIA: So Whitni, anything to report about the arrival night for the two of you?
00:04:08.477 --> 00:04:09.337
VIRGINIA: Did everything go okay?
00:04:11.017 --> 00:04:11.957
WHITNI: It went great.
00:04:12.657 --> 00:04:17.397
WHITNI: We got all checked in to the Grove where Ginger's condo is.
00:04:18.117 --> 00:04:19.297
WHITNI: And well, I did.
00:04:19.317 --> 00:04:27.877
WHITNI: I arrived first and I actually took like a 20 minute cat nap because I was so tired and she didn't get in until like after midnight.
00:04:27.957 --> 00:04:31.117
WHITNI: So I went to pick her up from NCO Airport.
00:04:31.137 --> 00:04:33.137
WHITNI: It was about a 40 minute drive.
00:04:33.257 --> 00:04:39.637
WHITNI: We got McDonald's on the way back and got very little sleep before we went to the parks early on Thursday.
00:04:40.537 --> 00:04:40.997
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:04:41.017 --> 00:04:43.517
VIRGINIA: Well, let's move right into Thursday then.
00:04:43.677 --> 00:04:54.797
VIRGINIA: So sticking with you, Whitni, you had intended to get some content and kind of get all of that done so that you could focus on the rest of the trip.
00:04:54.817 --> 00:04:56.217
VIRGINIA: So how was your morning?
00:04:56.757 --> 00:04:57.737
WHITNI: It was good.
00:04:57.757 --> 00:05:02.717
WHITNI: I ended up starting at Animal Kingdom and Savannah started at Epcot.
00:05:02.737 --> 00:05:17.677
WHITNI: So I dropped her off at Epcot and made sure she was all settled in because she's our Disneylander and then I headed over to Animal Kingdom and I was actually, I had plans to meet another friend from Instagram at Animal Kingdom and her husband, they were there.
00:05:18.197 --> 00:05:25.197
WHITNI: So I quickly met up with them and got some content and then went back to Epcot to hang out with Savannah for the rest of the day.
00:05:25.217 --> 00:05:26.217
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:05:26.357 --> 00:05:31.957
VIRGINIA: And then Ginger, I think you were the next to arrive at 4 p.m.
00:05:32.177 --> 00:05:33.657
VIRGINIA: So how was your flight?
00:05:33.817 --> 00:05:34.617
GINGER: So it was good.
00:05:34.637 --> 00:05:35.177
GINGER: It was fast.
00:05:35.557 --> 00:05:37.517
GINGER: It's such an easy flight from Houston.
00:05:37.537 --> 00:05:42.217
GINGER: And I had planned I had some like melting stuff and like, you know, stuff that could melt.
00:05:42.237 --> 00:05:44.397
GINGER: I had some medicine that needed to go in the refrigerator.
00:05:44.497 --> 00:05:48.437
GINGER: My plan was to go back to the condo, change like kind of unpack.
00:05:48.457 --> 00:05:49.357
GINGER: I'm an unpacker.
00:05:49.377 --> 00:05:50.917
GINGER: Like I like to put everything in a drawer.
00:05:50.937 --> 00:05:51.937
GINGER: I like to hang things up.
00:05:53.117 --> 00:05:56.497
GINGER: And then I was going to meet up with Sav and Whitni at the parks.
00:05:56.517 --> 00:05:58.137
GINGER: And then I was like, Oh, forget it.
00:05:58.137 --> 00:06:01.057
GINGER: I'm just going to go straight to the parks because why not?
00:06:01.077 --> 00:06:05.257
GINGER: So I changed in the parking lot at MCO and went straight to the parks.
00:06:05.257 --> 00:06:08.737
GINGER: And I always start my trip at Magic Kingdom and Whitni.
00:06:08.757 --> 00:06:10.337
GINGER: I think y'all were already at EPCOT, right?
00:06:10.857 --> 00:06:11.137
GINGER: Yep.
00:06:11.417 --> 00:06:11.757
GINGER: Yeah.
00:06:11.777 --> 00:06:15.017
GINGER: So I went to Magic Kingdom first and I did a few things on my own.
00:06:15.037 --> 00:06:19.977
GINGER: I had dinner by myself and then I got to meet Whitni and Sav for the first time.
00:06:19.997 --> 00:06:21.977
GINGER: I headed over to EPCOT.
00:06:22.137 --> 00:06:22.517
VIRGINIA: Oh, yeah.
00:06:22.537 --> 00:06:24.637
VIRGINIA: This was your first ever meeting in person.
00:06:24.837 --> 00:06:25.157
GINGER: Correct.
00:06:25.177 --> 00:06:25.477
GINGER: Yes.
00:06:26.737 --> 00:06:38.577
VIRGINIA: Which is amazing to me because I have to say that based on talking with you all during your pre-trip and, you know, in our gabbing before we started recording, you all seem like you've been friends for a really long time.
00:06:38.777 --> 00:06:42.037
GINGER: My husband was like, Oh, so like what's because my condo is a three bedroom.
00:06:42.057 --> 00:06:45.237
GINGER: And so there's only three beds and there was five of us.
00:06:45.257 --> 00:06:47.517
GINGER: So and none of us wanted to sleep on the pullout couch.
00:06:47.537 --> 00:06:49.857
GINGER: So we were like, two people are going to have to share a bed.
00:06:49.877 --> 00:06:51.277
GINGER: And we were essentially strangers.
00:06:51.297 --> 00:06:52.277
GINGER: We had never met in person.
00:06:52.737 --> 00:06:56.577
GINGER: So my husband was like, So who are you sharing a bed with?
00:06:56.677 --> 00:06:58.257
GINGER: And I was like, I'm sharing a bed with Anj.
00:06:58.277 --> 00:07:00.217
GINGER: And he was like, don't you think that's kind of weird?
00:07:00.297 --> 00:07:02.257
GINGER: Like, you're sleeping with someone you just met on the Internet.
00:07:02.277 --> 00:07:04.957
GINGER: And I was like, well, you know, you and me met on the Internet.
00:07:05.177 --> 00:07:06.637
GINGER: It's really not that weird.
00:07:06.657 --> 00:07:08.637
GINGER: It's really not that weird.
00:07:10.297 --> 00:07:19.337
WHITNI: They were making fun of Savannah and I, though, because we were the first two there that night, like on Thursday or Wednesday by ourselves, and we shared a room.
00:07:19.717 --> 00:07:23.157
GINGER: There were two other available rooms, and they decided to share.
00:07:23.177 --> 00:07:27.237
GINGER: I was like, oh, when Kristen got there, I scared her when she first got there.
00:07:27.257 --> 00:07:28.817
GINGER: And I was like, oh, I'm not sure which room.
00:07:28.837 --> 00:07:32.237
GINGER: You might have to share a bed with me because Sav and Whit are already here.
00:07:32.257 --> 00:07:34.397
GINGER: And then I was like, oh, they're sharing a room.
00:07:34.417 --> 00:07:35.897
GINGER: So get your own room.
00:07:36.517 --> 00:07:43.257
VIRGINIA: Well, I mean, if you were going to end up maybe sharing a room for the rest of the nights anyway, to me, it makes sense.
00:07:43.317 --> 00:07:47.777
VIRGINIA: Settle down in one bed and not like dirty the sheets that somebody else is going to be in later.
00:07:47.817 --> 00:07:48.217
VIRGINIA: I don't know.
00:07:48.237 --> 00:07:48.557
VIRGINIA: I'm weird.
00:07:48.577 --> 00:07:49.677
KRISTEN: That's what Savannah said.
00:07:49.697 --> 00:08:00.257
KRISTEN: She was like, well, I just figured then when you got here, you could have clean sheets instead of, you know, me sleeping in there one night by myself and then moving in with and I was like, that was so nice of you.
00:08:00.277 --> 00:08:02.617
VIRGINIA: Yeah, that makes sense to me.
00:08:02.937 --> 00:08:13.537
GINGER: But the first thing that Sav and Whit and I did was we wrote Guardians at EBCOT because, you know, I was really hoping for Konga because I needed that was my last song and we did not get it.
00:08:13.577 --> 00:08:16.397
GINGER: But that was the first thing we all did together, us three.
00:08:17.217 --> 00:08:19.777
VIRGINIA: Did you have the virtual queue or did you get an individual lightning lane?
00:08:19.977 --> 00:08:20.637
GINGER: Lightning lane.
00:08:21.157 --> 00:08:22.237
VIRGINIA: OK, perfect.
00:08:22.317 --> 00:08:24.957
VIRGINIA: Yeah, the virtual queue can take a long time.
00:08:25.497 --> 00:08:25.797
GINGER: Yeah.
00:08:26.117 --> 00:08:29.457
VIRGINIA: What else did you do at EBCOT before you headed out for the night?
00:08:29.857 --> 00:08:31.837
GINGER: So we went and did some pictures together.
00:08:32.837 --> 00:08:37.237
GINGER: Whit and I are both annual pass holders, so they had a really cute little like ice cream sandwich prop.
00:08:37.257 --> 00:08:40.677
GINGER: So we did some of those pictures and then I was exhausted.
00:08:40.697 --> 00:08:41.537
GINGER: I was super tired.
00:08:41.557 --> 00:08:45.937
GINGER: So I ended up leaving to go back to the condo before Sav and Whit.
00:08:45.957 --> 00:08:49.417
GINGER: And I was going to be there to meet Kristen because she flew in later that night.
00:08:49.417 --> 00:08:51.377
GINGER: We did just Guardians, I think, right?
00:08:52.057 --> 00:08:52.337
VIRGINIA: Yep.
00:08:52.797 --> 00:08:55.157
GINGER: And then we did some pictures, some photopass pictures.
00:08:55.177 --> 00:08:57.677
GINGER: And then I think that was the only way.
00:08:57.697 --> 00:08:58.717
GINGER: And then I headed out.
00:08:59.277 --> 00:08:59.697
VIRGINIA: Okay.
00:09:00.077 --> 00:09:02.357
VIRGINIA: So Whitni, how late did you end up staying?
00:09:02.517 --> 00:09:04.777
WHITNI: We ended up closing the park down.
00:09:04.797 --> 00:09:08.177
WHITNI: So we left during the Epcot fireworks.
00:09:08.737 --> 00:09:12.777
WHITNI: But I think Savannah wanted some golden hour pictures.
00:09:12.797 --> 00:09:14.717
WHITNI: Her bound that day was Elsa.
00:09:14.797 --> 00:09:16.337
WHITNI: And so the topiaries were out.
00:09:16.837 --> 00:09:22.397
WHITNI: And so she wanted some good pictures with the Elsa and Anna topiaries, which turned out phenomenal.
00:09:22.977 --> 00:09:26.617
WHITNI: And I believe we went and rode Remy too before we left.
00:09:26.637 --> 00:09:31.497
WHITNI: So we hopped on Remy and then got some poutine on our way out and left during the fireworks.
00:09:31.897 --> 00:09:32.377
VIRGINIA: Perfect.
00:09:32.397 --> 00:09:34.037
VIRGINIA: Sounds like a great first day.
00:09:35.237 --> 00:09:36.697
GINGER: It was like a great first date.
00:09:39.097 --> 00:09:42.757
GINGER: It was funny because Whit and I, Sav had walked away.
00:09:42.777 --> 00:09:43.837
GINGER: Remember, it was just you and I.
00:09:44.677 --> 00:09:47.317
GINGER: We did the annual pass photo prop or whatever.
00:09:47.337 --> 00:09:49.617
GINGER: And we had literally just met like 30 minutes before.
00:09:50.297 --> 00:09:53.697
GINGER: And the photographer was like, okay, now you'll stare into each other's eyes.
00:09:53.717 --> 00:09:56.477
GINGER: And we were like, okay.
00:09:56.497 --> 00:09:57.497
GINGER: It felt like a prom picture.
00:09:57.517 --> 00:09:59.717
GINGER: I was like, okay, this is getting really serious fast.
00:10:01.937 --> 00:10:03.137
GINGER: But it was a cute picture.
00:10:03.157 --> 00:10:03.797
GINGER: It turned out cute.
00:10:04.377 --> 00:10:09.177
VIRGINIA: Well, I don't think any of you can take a bad picture from my observations on Instagram.
00:10:09.197 --> 00:10:11.957
VIRGINIA: So that doesn't surprise me at all.
00:10:12.517 --> 00:10:13.877
VIRGINIA: You all take such cute photos.
00:10:14.377 --> 00:10:15.777
WHITNI: We took some bad ones.
00:10:15.797 --> 00:10:16.697
WHITNI: Don't you worry.
00:10:20.797 --> 00:10:23.077
WHITNI: On purpose.
00:10:23.297 --> 00:10:27.557
VIRGINIA: Oh, I saw some of you were like, we're going to all lay on the ground and look exhausted.
00:10:28.477 --> 00:10:28.797
WHITNI: Yeah.
00:10:29.637 --> 00:10:32.877
VIRGINIA: All right, Kristen, you landed around 8 p.m.
00:10:32.877 --> 00:10:34.497
VIRGINIA: So was everything good with your flight?
00:10:34.677 --> 00:10:38.677
KRISTEN: Yeah, that was actually my first time flying by myself ever in my life.
00:10:39.897 --> 00:10:44.177
KRISTEN: And it went really smooth until about 30 minutes before we landed.
00:10:44.317 --> 00:10:46.977
KRISTEN: They, you know, had the flight attendant sit.
00:10:46.997 --> 00:10:52.697
KRISTEN: Naturally, my worst scenario kicked in and I started texting my husband.
00:10:52.937 --> 00:10:54.757
KRISTEN: They're making the flight crew sit.
00:10:54.777 --> 00:10:55.717
KRISTEN: Something's wrong.
00:10:55.737 --> 00:10:56.617
KRISTEN: Something's wrong.
00:10:57.657 --> 00:11:04.277
KRISTEN: And I ended up getting the front row because nobody wanted to sit there because you have to put your luggage like further back on the plane.
00:11:05.137 --> 00:11:07.377
KRISTEN: So I was right in the front.
00:11:07.397 --> 00:11:15.677
KRISTEN: So every time the pilot would call the flight attendant and he would get up, I'd be watching his face to see like if he started getting panicky or whatever.
00:11:15.957 --> 00:11:20.377
KRISTEN: And at one point he looked over at me and like smiled and I was like, okay, all right, we're good.
00:11:20.397 --> 00:11:20.817
KRISTEN: We're good.
00:11:21.617 --> 00:11:27.937
KRISTEN: But yeah, other than that, everything went well and I have my first solo flight in the books.
00:11:28.377 --> 00:11:30.777
VIRGINIA: Are you feeling good about the next time you have to do it?
00:11:30.797 --> 00:11:35.437
VIRGINIA: Does the fact that you flew now twice by yourself make it a little bit more comfortable?
00:11:36.117 --> 00:11:36.857
WHITNI: For next year?
00:11:37.457 --> 00:11:37.777
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:11:38.257 --> 00:11:48.277
KRISTEN: I'm already talking about doing a possible flight with my son, which I would never have flown with him if I hadn't flown by myself first to make sure that I could do it.
00:11:49.137 --> 00:11:51.017
KRISTEN: But yeah, no, I'm definitely more comfortable now.
00:11:51.517 --> 00:11:51.977
VIRGINIA: Good.
00:11:51.997 --> 00:11:52.637
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:11:53.197 --> 00:11:55.977
VIRGINIA: So let's turn over to Anj now.
00:11:55.997 --> 00:12:02.617
VIRGINIA: So Anj, that first night you were staying at The Contemporary with some travel agency friends.
00:12:03.177 --> 00:12:04.717
VIRGINIA: So how was your first night?
00:12:04.877 --> 00:12:06.337
ANJ: My first night was good.
00:12:06.897 --> 00:12:14.597
ANJ: We had a dinner scheduled over at 1900 Perks there to just check out the characters and the wishmakers aspect over at the Grand Floridian.
00:12:14.777 --> 00:12:19.097
ANJ: Overall, I haven't even like re-tapped this yet, but it was really good.
00:12:19.117 --> 00:12:20.737
ANJ: I mean, the concept is so cute.
00:12:20.857 --> 00:12:31.317
ANJ: And then I did go back to The Contemporary night one with four other of my travel agent girlfriends and the one agency owner, like one of my owners was over at Pali.
00:12:31.317 --> 00:12:33.537
ANJ: The other one was with me at Contemporary the first night.
00:12:34.077 --> 00:12:48.777
ANJ: And it was really fun meeting all of them because like on top of like meeting the girls in Disney, when you go on these travel agent trips, these are essentially the first time you're meeting multiple people for the first time in person, including your agency owners if you don't know them in person.
00:12:48.797 --> 00:12:51.837
ANJ: So it was a lot of new people in one weekend.
00:12:52.657 --> 00:12:54.397
VIRGINIA: Are you good with names and faces?
00:12:54.697 --> 00:12:55.217
ANJ: Oh, yeah.
00:12:55.217 --> 00:13:00.177
ANJ: I was a bartender before I was a travel agent, so I would definitely know a face and what you're drinking.
00:13:00.197 --> 00:13:04.637
ANJ: We had to be a customer for a couple of times to be able to hear a name.
00:13:04.937 --> 00:13:05.277
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:13:05.297 --> 00:13:07.257
VIRGINIA: Well, let's move into the second day.
00:13:07.277 --> 00:13:09.777
VIRGINIA: So Friday, May 17th.
00:13:09.797 --> 00:13:11.617
VIRGINIA: So we'll stick with Anj.
00:13:12.557 --> 00:13:18.097
VIRGINIA: I noted that you were planning to rope drop Magic Kingdom because you were at the Contemporary.
00:13:18.317 --> 00:13:21.337
VIRGINIA: So did you make it over at rope drop time?
00:13:21.357 --> 00:13:29.737
ANJ: Yes, I did because Contemporary has a very convenient walking trail, and it's like 10 minutes from Contemporary over to Magic Kingdom.
00:13:32.997 --> 00:13:34.817
VIRGINIA: Did you ride any rides while you were there?
00:13:35.497 --> 00:13:40.417
ANJ: I did do Haunted Mansion while I was there, and that was like my one ride, and then it started downpouring.
00:13:44.097 --> 00:13:44.937
ANJ: It downpoured.
00:13:44.957 --> 00:13:47.337
ANJ: It was a long thunderstorm for Florida.
00:13:47.357 --> 00:13:52.597
ANJ: This was not a 10-minute thunderstorm, this was like an hour of it, just really hard through all the folks.
00:13:53.177 --> 00:13:53.577
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:13:53.597 --> 00:13:56.177
VIRGINIA: So were all of you wearing appropriate footwear?
00:14:03.937 --> 00:14:05.217
GINGER: What's appropriate footwear?
00:14:05.637 --> 00:14:21.957
VIRGINIA: I guess what I mean by that is either, no, either like waterproof sandals or if you were wearing sneakers or tennis shoes or whatever you want to call them, did you have another pair to wear the next day or in case they were wet still?
00:14:22.097 --> 00:14:25.637
GINGER: I did bring other shoes, but I wore those stinky ones, wet ones all day.
00:14:26.237 --> 00:14:27.517
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:14:27.617 --> 00:14:38.297
VIRGINIA: I still have a little bit of PTSD from my December trip because it was the day that it rained literally all day and it was like my one full day there because it was a quick weekend trip.
00:14:38.337 --> 00:14:43.297
VIRGINIA: It was the worst and now I'm traumatized by rain in Disney.
00:14:43.417 --> 00:14:52.657
GINGER: I'm looking at pictures to help kind of remember the day and we looked so fresh at the beginning of the day going into Animal Kingdom and we slowly start to look like wet dogs.
00:14:54.477 --> 00:14:56.957
GINGER: Like we look so cute and then we were really wet.
00:14:57.137 --> 00:15:02.137
KRISTEN: I was quickly reminded why I don't wear socks and sneakers in the parks.
00:15:02.157 --> 00:15:08.677
KRISTEN: And people always say to me when they see pictures, they're like, girl, how do you do Disney and flip-flops?
00:15:08.717 --> 00:15:09.357
KRISTEN: I don't get it.
00:15:09.397 --> 00:15:14.937
KRISTEN: And I've always said, I hate the way my feet feel inside sneakers, they get sweaty.
00:15:15.137 --> 00:15:17.777
KRISTEN: If it rains, then you're walking around with wet shoes.
00:15:18.997 --> 00:15:23.617
KRISTEN: And then the April trip that I did with my family, I was like, oh, you know what?
00:15:23.637 --> 00:15:25.777
KRISTEN: Everyone always looks so cute in their tennis shoes.
00:15:25.797 --> 00:15:26.917
KRISTEN: Like I'm going to get some.
00:15:27.137 --> 00:15:28.717
KRISTEN: And it didn't rain at all that trip.
00:15:29.117 --> 00:15:36.517
KRISTEN: So in May, I said, all right, I'm going to bring my tennis shoes and do a cute biker shorts outfit, you know, long t-shirt.
00:15:37.197 --> 00:15:38.097
KRISTEN: And it poured.
00:15:38.177 --> 00:15:42.297
KRISTEN: And I remembered this is why I don't wear sneakers.
00:15:43.597 --> 00:15:50.737
GINGER: But if you remember, in our pre trip interview, I said I didn't like Animal Kingdom because I always got rained on there.
00:15:50.917 --> 00:15:54.157
GINGER: And our first park in the four part challenge was Animal Kingdom.
00:15:54.177 --> 00:15:55.457
GINGER: And we were all getting dumped on it.
00:15:55.477 --> 00:15:58.217
GINGER: Everyone kind of looked at me and I was like, yeah, it's me.
00:15:58.217 --> 00:16:00.477
GINGER: Every time I go to Animal Kingdom, it rains.
00:16:00.717 --> 00:16:03.477
VIRGINIA: Do you have a little rain cloud that follows you everywhere?
00:16:03.857 --> 00:16:05.877
GINGER: Maybe, but I feel like I'm a pretty bright person.
00:16:05.897 --> 00:16:06.757
VIRGINIA: Oh, you are.
00:16:08.077 --> 00:16:09.257
WHITNI: She's got an oil for that.
00:16:09.277 --> 00:16:10.417
GINGER: I have an oil for that.
00:16:10.437 --> 00:16:11.817
GINGER: I have an essential oil for anything.
00:16:13.557 --> 00:16:15.157
GINGER: It was like the running joke of our trip.
00:16:16.857 --> 00:16:18.497
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:16:18.497 --> 00:16:21.997
VIRGINIA: Well, Kristen, I think you were rope dropping Epcot that day?
00:16:22.697 --> 00:16:23.117
KRISTEN: Oh, no.
00:16:23.257 --> 00:16:23.797
VIRGINIA: Oh, yeah.
00:16:23.817 --> 00:16:27.097
KRISTEN: No, we all ended up doing the same thing.
00:16:27.117 --> 00:16:30.557
KRISTEN: So we all started at Animal Kingdom that morning.
00:16:30.577 --> 00:16:32.497
KRISTEN: So Anj started at Magic Kingdom.
00:16:33.277 --> 00:16:36.557
KRISTEN: The other four of us went to Animal Kingdom.
00:16:37.837 --> 00:16:43.897
KRISTEN: And we started our day there, and then Anj met us there after she finished up what she was doing at Magic Kingdom.
00:16:44.377 --> 00:16:49.157
ANJ: So I essentially did five parks in one day, because I did Magic Kingdom twice.
00:16:50.777 --> 00:16:51.137
VIRGINIA: Okay.
00:16:51.237 --> 00:16:52.297
VIRGINIA: I like your Disney math.
00:16:52.477 --> 00:16:57.937
GINGER: So we all kind of like, Whitni was going to do the four-park challenge and she had her own spin on it.
00:16:57.937 --> 00:17:01.857
GINGER: And then Kristen had posted about doing hers with her spin on it.
00:17:01.877 --> 00:17:05.877
GINGER: And then I added one extra thing and then we were all like, let's just do it together.
00:17:05.877 --> 00:17:09.537
GINGER: So we did all four parks, all four modes of Disney transportation.
00:17:09.957 --> 00:17:18.537
GINGER: And at each park, it was photo, pass picture, meet a character, purchase a souvenir, ride a ride and buy a snack, eat a snack or a drink.
00:17:19.257 --> 00:17:23.497
VIRGINIA: That's a lot of stipulations for each park.
00:17:24.057 --> 00:17:24.937
VIRGINIA: How did that go?
00:17:24.957 --> 00:17:29.517
VIRGINIA: Was that easy to do because you had the entire day to do it?
00:17:30.197 --> 00:17:31.757
GINGER: The rain really slowed us down.
00:17:31.917 --> 00:17:32.317
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:17:32.757 --> 00:17:35.977
KRISTEN: So we like started off good.
00:17:35.997 --> 00:17:40.557
KRISTEN: You know, we got to Epcot, we got to Animal Kingdom, we immediately took our photo pass.
00:17:41.137 --> 00:17:51.097
KRISTEN: We took a couple individual content shots, got to see Whitni in action, like with the tripod and like just doing her thing.
00:17:51.157 --> 00:18:13.597
KRISTEN: And it was so inspiring to just see her out in a crowd and like taking all these wicked, cute shots of herself and videos, and it gave me the confidence to not do it as well as her, but like I was a little more comfortable doing some stuff individually by myself.
00:18:14.177 --> 00:18:18.657
KRISTEN: But then they went and rode Everest and I'm a baby and I don't do that.
00:18:18.677 --> 00:18:22.417
KRISTEN: So I actually went and rode Dinosaur by myself.
00:18:22.457 --> 00:18:23.877
KRISTEN: And that was another first for me.
00:18:23.897 --> 00:18:28.997
KRISTEN: I've never done a ride by myself in Disney because I always have my family with me.
00:18:29.057 --> 00:18:31.517
KRISTEN: So that was another first for me.
00:18:31.897 --> 00:18:36.257
GINGER: Actually it was a first for me too, riding a ride by myself at Disney World.
00:18:36.277 --> 00:18:39.857
GINGER: I've gone to Disneyland several times by myself, but I've never gone to Disney World.
00:18:39.877 --> 00:18:45.157
GINGER: So before I met up with Whit and Sav that first day, I rode Big Thunder Mountain by myself.
00:18:45.237 --> 00:18:46.357
GINGER: So it's first for both of us.
00:18:46.977 --> 00:18:51.877
VIRGINIA: Is this going to be inspiration for you to do more solo trips?
00:18:52.477 --> 00:18:56.317
GINGER: Oh, I do solo trips every month, but usually my sister-in-law comes with me.
00:18:56.337 --> 00:19:02.797
GINGER: I do kid-free trips, but usually my sister-in-law comes with me because we're super close, and we go to Disneyland.
00:19:02.817 --> 00:19:06.637
GINGER: I've done Disneyland by myself, but I've never done the World by myself.
00:19:06.657 --> 00:19:13.057
GINGER: So before I met up with Whit and Sav walking into Magic Kingdom, that was my first time ever walking in by myself.
00:19:13.277 --> 00:19:14.177
VIRGINIA: What about you, Kristen?
00:19:14.357 --> 00:19:17.077
VIRGINIA: Can you see yourself doing a solo trip?
00:19:17.517 --> 00:19:19.417
KRISTEN: I don't know if I could do the whole thing solo.
00:19:20.337 --> 00:19:24.577
KRISTEN: Like, if I knew I was going to be meeting up with people while I'm down there.
00:19:24.597 --> 00:19:33.837
KRISTEN: But even like going back to the condo and knowing that there were people there, I don't think I could go back to a hotel room, maybe for a night by myself.
00:19:33.877 --> 00:19:35.757
KRISTEN: But I'm such a people person.
00:19:35.777 --> 00:19:38.457
KRISTEN: I need to have others around.
00:19:38.477 --> 00:19:41.137
KRISTEN: I need to vent at the end of the day.
00:19:41.157 --> 00:19:43.237
KRISTEN: I need to decompress.
00:19:43.277 --> 00:19:44.797
KRISTEN: I'm not really a loner.
00:19:44.817 --> 00:19:46.697
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:19:47.497 --> 00:19:48.777
VIRGINIA: Well, let's see.
00:19:49.357 --> 00:19:54.377
VIRGINIA: So you all work together at Animal Kingdom, and two of you are travel agents.
00:19:54.397 --> 00:19:57.537
VIRGINIA: And I know they were having a travel agent appreciation event.
00:19:57.537 --> 00:20:01.937
VIRGINIA: So Kristen and Anj, how was that event?
00:20:02.657 --> 00:20:03.617
ANJ: It was really cute.
00:20:03.637 --> 00:20:07.677
ANJ: Actually, there was a trivia game you could do, too.
00:20:07.697 --> 00:20:13.177
ANJ: And you could win a little Mickey's First Visit looking hat, if I can describe it.
00:20:13.197 --> 00:20:16.537
ANJ: And it was cool.
00:20:16.557 --> 00:20:25.697
ANJ: I feel like as a travel agent, it was really nice to have something directly from like Disney that felt like it was a thank you and a thank you.
00:20:25.837 --> 00:20:30.697
KRISTEN: Yeah, so I completely forgot about it on that day since we were so crazy.
00:20:30.837 --> 00:20:33.197
KRISTEN: The rain, I think, really threw me off.
00:20:33.837 --> 00:20:37.337
KRISTEN: So after we did our rides, we met up and grabbed some breakfast.
00:20:37.357 --> 00:20:41.937
KRISTEN: We had the coconut coffee and some breakfast items and it just started downpouring.
00:20:42.317 --> 00:20:51.817
KRISTEN: And my mind just completely went, okay, we have to get a character picture and I have to find this stuffed thing that my son wanted from Rainforest Cafe.
00:20:51.837 --> 00:20:54.977
KRISTEN: That was going to be my purchase from Animal Kingdom in my mind.
00:20:56.657 --> 00:20:57.977
KRISTEN: Oh my, yeah.
00:20:58.577 --> 00:20:59.057
KRISTEN: What?
00:20:59.357 --> 00:20:59.817
KRISTEN: Yes.
00:20:59.977 --> 00:21:01.657
KRISTEN: So and I showed it to him.
00:21:02.177 --> 00:21:05.077
KRISTEN: We looked everywhere in Rainforest Cafe.
00:21:05.097 --> 00:21:07.757
KRISTEN: I had to ask the woman, I'm like, I was here a month ago.
00:21:07.777 --> 00:21:12.937
KRISTEN: My son got this like stretchy monster that has like a liquid in it.
00:21:13.677 --> 00:21:15.257
KRISTEN: And he wants another one.
00:21:15.897 --> 00:21:18.237
KRISTEN: And they were like, yeah, all we have is the shark.
00:21:18.257 --> 00:21:19.177
KRISTEN: I'm like, it's perfect.
00:21:19.197 --> 00:21:19.697
KRISTEN: I'll get it.
00:21:19.717 --> 00:21:21.477
KRISTEN: So, you know, I show I FaceTime to him.
00:21:21.497 --> 00:21:22.777
KRISTEN: I showed him, look what I got you.
00:21:22.797 --> 00:21:24.617
KRISTEN: This is my purchase from Animal Kingdom.
00:21:24.637 --> 00:21:26.017
KRISTEN: We completed our first park.
00:21:26.497 --> 00:21:27.757
KRISTEN: I only brought a carry on.
00:21:27.777 --> 00:21:32.477
KRISTEN: So when I went through TSA, grabbed my bag and they were like, do you have any liquid in here?
00:21:32.497 --> 00:21:35.837
KRISTEN: And I'm like, no, I brought this bag with me here.
00:21:35.857 --> 00:21:36.497
KRISTEN: Like I don't.
00:21:37.237 --> 00:21:39.957
KRISTEN: So they opened it up and they were like, yeah, you can't have this.
00:21:39.977 --> 00:21:41.297
KRISTEN: And I'm like, I need that.
00:21:41.757 --> 00:21:44.217
KRISTEN: That's the one thing I showed my kid.
00:21:44.237 --> 00:21:47.097
KRISTEN: I got him and if I don't come home with that, I can't come home.
00:21:47.757 --> 00:21:53.697
KRISTEN: So luckily Amazon had them and I was able to order one and it showed up the day after I came home.
00:21:53.757 --> 00:21:54.137
VIRGINIA: But yeah.
00:21:54.157 --> 00:21:54.837
VIRGINIA: Oh my gosh.
00:21:55.617 --> 00:21:56.257
VIRGINIA: That's lucky.
00:21:56.277 --> 00:22:13.537
VIRGINIA: I always think that there should be, I mean, the airports could be making a ton of money if they offered a service where on the spot, if they have something that they were going to force you to throw out, that you could be like, I would like to opt to ship it to myself for $25, $30, whatever.
00:22:14.317 --> 00:22:15.957
VIRGINIA: And so many people would pay that.
00:22:17.257 --> 00:22:19.637
VIRGINIA: My mom once lost a whole bottle of Chanel No.
00:22:19.657 --> 00:22:20.277
VIRGINIA: 5 that way.
00:22:20.637 --> 00:22:21.257
VIRGINIA: Oh shoot.
00:22:21.517 --> 00:22:21.837
VIRGINIA: Yeah.
00:22:25.157 --> 00:22:25.597
VIRGINIA: Anyway.
00:22:25.617 --> 00:22:27.577
GINGER: Well, we all made a purchase of a poncho.
00:22:27.917 --> 00:22:28.917
GINGER: That was our purchase.
00:22:29.817 --> 00:22:31.677
KRISTEN: So I guess I made two purchases.
00:22:31.697 --> 00:22:35.877
GINGER: Because I'm looking at the picture of us in our poncho and we were all like soaking wet.
00:22:35.897 --> 00:22:37.077
GINGER: We had just put our ponchos on.
00:22:37.077 --> 00:22:40.937
GINGER: And when we got up to meet Mickey and Minnie, they were like, y'all got to take those ponchos off.
00:22:40.957 --> 00:22:43.797
GINGER: So we were like trying to shimmy out of these wet ponchos.
00:22:44.737 --> 00:22:47.957
KRISTEN: They wouldn't let us take our pictures with Mickey and Minnie wearing the ponchos.
00:22:47.977 --> 00:22:49.237
GINGER: Because we would get them wet.
00:22:49.357 --> 00:22:51.137
GINGER: Because our ponchos were pretty soaked.
00:22:51.617 --> 00:22:52.157
VIRGINIA: Yeah.
00:22:52.297 --> 00:22:53.837
VIRGINIA: I mean, I guess I understand that.
00:22:53.837 --> 00:22:59.857
VIRGINIA: But getting out of a wet poncho is nearly as much fun as getting out of a wet bathing suit.
00:23:00.657 --> 00:23:01.437
VIRGINIA: Not the best.
00:23:01.997 --> 00:23:02.377
VIRGINIA: Yeah.
00:23:03.037 --> 00:23:03.437
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:23:03.457 --> 00:23:05.977
VIRGINIA: So after Animal Kingdom, where did you head?
00:23:07.237 --> 00:23:09.197
GINGER: So I had a car, I had rented a car.
00:23:09.217 --> 00:23:11.157
GINGER: Whitni had her personal vehicle there.
00:23:11.157 --> 00:23:17.177
GINGER: But since we all decided at the last minute to do the four-park challenge together, we just piled in my rental car.
00:23:17.177 --> 00:23:21.417
GINGER: So Anj ended up coming at the end to Animal Kingdom.
00:23:21.437 --> 00:23:24.437
GINGER: We were waiting in the car for her trying to kind of dry off.
00:23:24.837 --> 00:23:27.257
GINGER: I think Whitni did her first outfit change in the car.
00:23:27.277 --> 00:23:28.657
KRISTEN: I did too.
00:23:29.017 --> 00:23:30.117
GINGER: Did you change in the car too?
00:23:30.157 --> 00:23:30.577
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:23:31.737 --> 00:23:37.117
GINGER: And so we were waiting on Anj to come and she joined us and we headed to Magic Kingdom.
00:23:37.137 --> 00:23:38.757
GINGER: And that's where we took.
00:23:40.557 --> 00:23:42.397
GINGER: So that's where we took our first mode of transportation.
00:23:42.417 --> 00:23:47.537
GINGER: We parked at TTC and took the ferry boat over to Magic Kingdom.
00:23:48.277 --> 00:23:49.457
GINGER: Oh, Kristen, you did change.
00:23:49.477 --> 00:23:50.797
GINGER: I'm looking at the pictures you showed.
00:23:51.097 --> 00:23:57.957
KRISTEN: So then when we got to Magic Kingdom, we got right on a bus and went to Hollywood Studios.
00:24:02.597 --> 00:24:04.937
KRISTEN: So on the bus, we were saying, we got to pick it up.
00:24:04.957 --> 00:24:06.677
KRISTEN: That rain really slowed us down.
00:24:06.697 --> 00:24:10.717
KRISTEN: So we were on a mission when we got to Hollywood Studios.
00:24:11.817 --> 00:24:12.177
VIRGINIA: Okay.
00:24:12.197 --> 00:24:14.357
VIRGINIA: So you went to Magic Kingdom and did not even go in?
00:24:14.377 --> 00:24:15.297
KRISTEN: Correct.
00:24:15.317 --> 00:24:18.677
GINGER: Because we were ending there, so we wanted my rental car to be there at the end of the night.
00:24:19.477 --> 00:24:23.417
GINGER: That would help us knock out another mode of transportation.
00:24:23.677 --> 00:24:24.037
VIRGINIA: Okay.
00:24:24.057 --> 00:24:25.517
VIRGINIA: Whitni, where was your car at this point?
00:24:26.237 --> 00:24:31.417
WHITNI: I left it at Ginger's condo and we all rode together, so we wouldn't have to have two vehicles.
00:24:32.317 --> 00:24:32.757
VIRGINIA: Perfect.
00:24:33.297 --> 00:24:33.697
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:24:33.737 --> 00:24:38.157
VIRGINIA: So Hollywood Studios, what was your first order of business in this challenge?
00:24:38.177 --> 00:24:39.017
GINGER: Oh my gosh.
00:24:39.037 --> 00:24:40.197
GINGER: We were so fast there.
00:24:40.537 --> 00:24:41.277
WHITNI: So fast.
00:24:41.297 --> 00:24:41.977
WHITNI: Like an hour.
00:24:41.997 --> 00:24:43.717
GINGER: I'm looking at the time stamp.
00:24:43.737 --> 00:24:47.457
GINGER: Like we did the first picture at 1 o'clock and…
00:24:47.577 --> 00:24:47.857
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:24:47.877 --> 00:24:53.617
KRISTEN: We just did it right outside the gates, just in front of the Hollywood Studios entrance.
00:24:54.197 --> 00:24:56.457
KRISTEN: They had a PhotoPass person set up right there.
00:24:56.477 --> 00:25:00.197
KRISTEN: So we were like, all right, as we pass things, let's just get that done.
00:25:01.017 --> 00:25:04.817
GINGER: So our first thing we did was the character where Whitni felt Ms.
00:25:04.837 --> 00:25:05.697
GINGER: Incredible up, right?
00:25:06.057 --> 00:25:06.657
KRISTEN: Yeah, I did.
00:25:08.597 --> 00:25:10.857
VIRGINIA: Did she give consent?
00:25:10.877 --> 00:25:11.937
WHITNI: She did not.
00:25:12.317 --> 00:25:13.357
GINGER: Oh, no means no.
00:25:13.497 --> 00:25:16.017
VIRGINIA: That's a faux pas.
00:25:16.617 --> 00:25:21.837
WHITNI: I accidentally touched her butt and I got that on video of me telling her I touched her butt.
00:25:21.857 --> 00:25:25.137
VIRGINIA: Because she didn't even notice, I'm sure.
00:25:25.157 --> 00:25:29.577
WHITNI: I was like, I touched her butt and she like wiggled and I was like, oh, okay.
00:25:31.277 --> 00:25:41.197
KRISTEN: Yeah, so we passed Chippendale on the way in, I believe, and we were actually looking for another character that we thought was going to be out by Max.
00:25:41.217 --> 00:25:44.677
KRISTEN: Oh, we thought Max.
00:25:45.117 --> 00:25:50.017
KRISTEN: And I forgot who said it about Pixar Place, but it's always empty in there.
00:25:50.037 --> 00:25:57.377
KRISTEN: Like, I don't know if people don't realize that there are characters in there, but so we got right in and, you know, we were like third in line to see Mrs.
00:25:57.397 --> 00:25:57.937
KRISTEN: Incredible.
00:25:57.957 --> 00:26:00.557
KRISTEN: So that again was super quick.
00:26:02.677 --> 00:26:06.157
KRISTEN: And then I think we split up.
00:26:06.357 --> 00:26:06.777
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:26:07.197 --> 00:26:07.657
VIRGINIA: Okay.
00:26:07.717 --> 00:26:15.937
KRISTEN: So some of us went to, well, Ginger and I stayed in Toy Story Land and we went to Woody's lunchbox and did our snack.
00:26:16.417 --> 00:26:20.577
KRISTEN: So I had the adult grilled cheese, which was another first for me.
00:26:20.577 --> 00:26:24.217
KRISTEN: So that was, you know, trying to check off all these firsts on my list.
00:26:24.537 --> 00:26:26.917
GINGER: And I'm, I'm gluten free.
00:26:26.937 --> 00:26:28.757
GINGER: So I did the tachos.
00:26:30.157 --> 00:26:30.517
VIRGINIA: Nice.
00:26:31.077 --> 00:26:31.417
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:26:31.437 --> 00:26:32.537
VIRGINIA: So where did the others go?
00:26:33.177 --> 00:26:35.257
WHITNI: We went to Galaxy's Edge.
00:26:35.937 --> 00:26:47.997
WHITNI: I was wearing a dress that day that I had to get pictures of and Savannah and Anj and I really wanted to get the black calf cold brew as well for our drinker snack.
00:26:48.037 --> 00:26:51.397
WHITNI: So my purchase in Galaxy's Edge was a little Darth Vader.
00:26:51.417 --> 00:26:53.277
WHITNI: I don't think it's within reaching distance.
00:26:53.737 --> 00:26:55.357
WHITNI: And then he's my favorite.
00:26:55.897 --> 00:27:02.657
WHITNI: And then we got our pictures, got our cold brew, and then we all rode Mania together.
00:27:04.617 --> 00:27:06.517
WHITNI: And Ginger was the highest in the car.
00:27:06.837 --> 00:27:08.217
GINGER: So we were talking in line.
00:27:08.237 --> 00:27:14.837
GINGER: So when I go, my husband and I, we get really competitive on any shooting game.
00:27:14.857 --> 00:27:18.897
GINGER: So Sav was like, I'm not really competitive.
00:27:18.897 --> 00:27:22.817
GINGER: And then Anj, Kristen, Whit, and I, we were like, oh, we bring it.
00:27:22.857 --> 00:27:23.957
GINGER: We're going to bring it.
00:27:23.977 --> 00:27:24.397
GINGER: Yeah.
00:27:24.557 --> 00:27:25.377
GINGER: We're going to do this.
00:27:25.397 --> 00:27:30.417
GINGER: So we were like really going at it, but I did end up getting the highest score.
00:27:32.457 --> 00:27:33.017
KRISTEN: Nice.
00:27:33.357 --> 00:27:37.557
VIRGINIA: I am always trying to score high in that game and it's hard.
00:27:37.837 --> 00:27:38.697
GINGER: It's a workout.
00:27:38.717 --> 00:27:39.917
GINGER: It's a total workout.
00:27:40.517 --> 00:27:42.017
ANJ: Your arms definitely hurt after.
00:27:42.117 --> 00:27:44.937
KRISTEN: I had to switch my, yeah, I had to switch up arms.
00:27:45.177 --> 00:27:50.997
KRISTEN: I like to think of myself as amy dextrous when it comes to Toy Story Midway Manny.
00:27:51.517 --> 00:27:52.877
WHITNI: You got to use your fingers.
00:27:56.337 --> 00:28:03.897
VIRGINIA: And you cannot give yourself exhaustion during the warm up, the so-called warm up, like don't even bother.
00:28:04.897 --> 00:28:05.477
KRISTEN: I did that.
00:28:05.497 --> 00:28:06.217
KRISTEN: I said that to her.
00:28:06.397 --> 00:28:09.477
KRISTEN: I always practice during the practice room, but you know what?
00:28:09.497 --> 00:28:10.117
KRISTEN: I'm going to skip it.
00:28:10.137 --> 00:28:11.737
KRISTEN: And then maybe I won't get as tired.
00:28:12.717 --> 00:28:17.097
GINGER: You got to have that little reserve bank for the end where you just start racking up the point.
00:28:19.657 --> 00:28:21.637
VIRGINIA: We get really competitive.
00:28:21.657 --> 00:28:22.697
VIRGINIA: Where did you go after that?
00:28:23.057 --> 00:28:25.117
GINGER: So after Manny, it was another first for me.
00:28:25.137 --> 00:28:28.097
GINGER: I did my first ever in the park outfit change.
00:28:28.357 --> 00:28:31.817
GINGER: I am not like these wonderful ladies.
00:28:31.837 --> 00:28:32.737
GINGER: I don't change.
00:28:32.797 --> 00:28:33.377
GINGER: I don't.
00:28:33.417 --> 00:28:35.057
GINGER: I've never worn a dress in the park.
00:28:35.817 --> 00:28:36.897
GINGER: I go for comfort.
00:28:36.897 --> 00:28:40.837
GINGER: And so we had planned an outfit to be The Fab Five to get pictures.
00:28:41.197 --> 00:28:42.337
GINGER: So I did.
00:28:42.357 --> 00:28:45.517
GINGER: Kristen, we went together, I think, to the bathrooms to change.
00:28:45.537 --> 00:28:46.417
KRISTEN: I was already changed.
00:28:46.437 --> 00:28:47.277
KRISTEN: I changed in the car.
00:28:48.957 --> 00:28:49.737
WHITNI: Savannah.
00:28:49.757 --> 00:28:50.017
GINGER: Yeah.
00:28:51.057 --> 00:28:53.277
GINGER: So then we, some of us changed.
00:28:53.677 --> 00:28:58.097
KRISTEN: And then we walked towards the entrance because I still had to make my purchase.
00:28:58.117 --> 00:29:06.577
KRISTEN: And I knew I wanted those, the Mickey Mouse, the plain, like, original ears, patent, are those patent leather?
00:29:08.297 --> 00:29:09.797
KRISTEN: And I knew I wanted those.
00:29:09.877 --> 00:29:12.517
KRISTEN: So that was going to be my purchase at Hollywood Studios.
00:29:12.537 --> 00:29:15.077
KRISTEN: And we kind of just hung out in that store for a little bit.
00:29:18.537 --> 00:29:18.897
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:29:18.917 --> 00:29:23.897
KRISTEN: And then we headed out and went over to the Skyliner for our third mode of transportation.
00:29:23.997 --> 00:29:37.677
KRISTEN: We did stand outside the Skyliner and set up the tripod and get some video of us and pictures of us outside the Skyliner to show our third mode of transportation.
00:29:37.697 --> 00:29:40.037
KRISTEN: And there's some great bloopers in that.
00:29:40.437 --> 00:29:41.097
WHITNI: Amazing.
00:29:41.117 --> 00:29:43.097
WHITNI: I just, I kept hitting the button.
00:29:43.117 --> 00:29:50.117
KRISTEN: There's some double chin action, some hair in the face, some like face.
00:29:50.137 --> 00:29:50.457
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:29:51.437 --> 00:29:53.217
GINGER: Whitni said I look like a dinosaur.
00:29:53.237 --> 00:29:55.457
GINGER: Remember my clip.
00:29:56.017 --> 00:29:58.697
ANJ: I just feel like I look confused at all times.
00:29:59.017 --> 00:30:01.057
ANJ: Like in every picture, I just look lost.
00:30:01.397 --> 00:30:02.997
VIRGINIA: You look lost, Anj said?
00:30:04.017 --> 00:30:05.377
ANJ: In every single picture.
00:30:05.397 --> 00:30:09.677
ANJ: Like I'm with professionals and I'm just like, guys, we, I couldn't keep up.
00:30:09.977 --> 00:30:12.437
KRISTEN: It's actually funny because I was just looking through some pictures.
00:30:12.457 --> 00:30:22.077
KRISTEN: I was trying to find something that I want to post tomorrow for my Monday and I was looking at, that's why I asked for those tangled bathroom lantern pictures.
00:30:22.797 --> 00:30:25.817
KRISTEN: And Anj is in the background of one of the pictures.
00:30:25.837 --> 00:30:35.917
KRISTEN: I don't know if she's taking a selfie or if she's holding up her pin and someone's taking a picture of her, but she's in the background like all in action.
00:30:36.437 --> 00:30:49.397
KRISTEN: And I have, I feel like there's a ton of my pictures where Anj is in the background and I just like can't even post it because it just wouldn't be like I'm taking a selfie and she's in the background like doing something like all contorted or.
00:30:49.417 --> 00:30:53.697
ANJ: It's really me filming like the park.
00:30:53.797 --> 00:30:57.957
ANJ: Like unlike everybody else, I'm like taking pictures of myself.
00:30:58.257 --> 00:31:00.217
ANJ: I'm literally just trying to get different angles.
00:31:00.257 --> 00:31:07.617
ANJ: So it was also my travel even friends have like the same thing where they're just like watching me run around the park and taking videos of me just taking videos.
00:31:07.637 --> 00:31:10.777
GINGER: But that was like one of my favorite memories that night.
00:31:10.797 --> 00:31:15.217
GINGER: Remember, Anj, when you were imitating how you look in that one picture, was it the one with Tiana?
00:31:15.237 --> 00:31:16.997
GINGER: Like we laughed so hard.
00:31:17.017 --> 00:31:20.857
GINGER: Look at me, Anj, remember you were like, I'm just there, I'm just there.
00:31:20.877 --> 00:31:23.617
ANJ: My eyes were shut and like I don't even know.
00:31:23.637 --> 00:31:25.057
ANJ: I was like kind of hunched over.
00:31:27.897 --> 00:31:29.317
ANJ: And Kristen took on the story.
00:31:29.337 --> 00:31:31.437
ANJ: And I'm like, this is the one?
00:31:31.917 --> 00:31:32.737
GINGER: This is the one?
00:31:34.497 --> 00:31:36.637
GINGER: So, but when we got, we did the Skyliner.
00:31:36.657 --> 00:31:40.177
GINGER: And then as soon as we got to Epcot, Mickey was right there.
00:31:40.257 --> 00:31:43.557
GINGER: And so we knocked out a character picture super fast.
00:31:43.577 --> 00:31:45.177
GINGER: And we were in our Fab Five outfit.
00:31:47.017 --> 00:31:47.437
VIRGINIA: Nice.
00:31:48.337 --> 00:31:48.777
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:31:48.937 --> 00:31:49.977
VIRGINIA: What was next?
00:31:50.497 --> 00:31:52.217
WHITNI: Some of us wrote Guardians, right?
00:31:52.237 --> 00:31:56.397
GINGER: Oh, we did the, the topiary picture, the PhotoPass picture on our walk to.
00:31:56.417 --> 00:31:56.617
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:31:56.637 --> 00:32:02.397
KRISTEN: Cause I was going to say, even though Mickey was technically a PhotoPass, we didn't count it as our PhotoPass picture.
00:32:02.417 --> 00:32:03.597
KRISTEN: We counted it as a character.
00:32:03.617 --> 00:32:06.537
GINGER: Wait, cause that's when I thought we were doing a heart on Guardians.
00:32:06.737 --> 00:32:07.837
WHITNI: Oh yeah.
00:32:07.997 --> 00:32:08.937
WHITNI: I did not.
00:32:09.017 --> 00:32:09.797
WHITNI: I did not.
00:32:09.817 --> 00:32:10.997
ANJ: I really thought we were.
00:32:13.117 --> 00:32:13.437
WHITNI: Yep.
00:32:13.457 --> 00:32:14.797
WHITNI: That was embarrassing.
00:32:14.817 --> 00:32:15.197
WHITNI: It's fine.
00:32:15.577 --> 00:32:22.997
KRISTEN: So then you guys went and rode Guardians and Anj and I grabbed Margaritas.
00:32:24.537 --> 00:32:40.497
KRISTEN: And we sat inside Connections and kind of just chatted and, you know, talked a little bit about life and being in, you know, the travel planner role and just got to know each other a little bit better.
00:32:40.497 --> 00:32:49.317
KRISTEN: And that was, you know, another favorite part of my trip where we just got like that, you know, quiet one on one time to connect.
00:32:49.717 --> 00:32:59.577
KRISTEN: And then I believe after they got off Guardians, we all met up to go do test tracks so that Anj and I could also get our attraction.
00:32:59.597 --> 00:33:02.137
KRISTEN: And so some people did do two attractions that I've caught.
00:33:02.597 --> 00:33:07.917
GINGER: I do want to say this was the second time that I had ridden with Whitni on Guardians.
00:33:07.957 --> 00:33:11.077
GINGER: And once again, I did not get Konga.
00:33:12.697 --> 00:33:14.037
VIRGINIA: Do you remember what song you got?
00:33:15.297 --> 00:33:16.317
GINGER: What did we get that day?
00:33:16.337 --> 00:33:20.237
GINGER: We posted it on Instagram, I remember, with the song.
00:33:20.577 --> 00:33:26.297
GINGER: But it was funny because Whitni and I, I thought we were going to make a heart, you know, where the camera was on Guardians.
00:33:26.317 --> 00:33:29.957
GINGER: So I leaned over like this towards Whitni and she is not.
00:33:30.577 --> 00:33:31.797
VIRGINIA: And she didn't get the memo.
00:33:32.577 --> 00:33:34.677
GINGER: So I look like a total idiot in the picture.
00:33:36.297 --> 00:33:38.717
GINGER: But we didn't get Guardians that time, but I was still hopeful.
00:33:38.737 --> 00:33:41.937
GINGER: I was still like keeping the faith for that.
00:33:43.797 --> 00:33:44.877
GINGER: And then we did Test Track.
00:33:45.617 --> 00:33:45.797
GINGER: Yep.
00:33:46.377 --> 00:33:49.337
GINGER: Test Track was the first ride we all rode as a group of five.
00:33:51.677 --> 00:33:51.957
KRISTEN: No.
00:33:51.977 --> 00:33:53.817
KRISTEN: Wasn't Runaway Railway?
00:33:54.537 --> 00:33:54.777
KRISTEN: No.
00:33:54.957 --> 00:33:58.077
WHITNI: Because we went to Galaxy's Edge and you guys rode Runaway Railway.
00:33:58.597 --> 00:33:59.797
GINGER: Just you and I, Kristen.
00:34:00.637 --> 00:34:00.857
GINGER: Oh.
00:34:01.037 --> 00:34:01.437
WHITNI: Oh, no.
00:34:01.457 --> 00:34:02.537
WHITNI: That was Saturday.
00:34:02.997 --> 00:34:03.157
GINGER: No.
00:34:03.177 --> 00:34:03.857
GINGER: No, we did Mania.
00:34:03.877 --> 00:34:05.997
GINGER: We didn't do Runaway Railway the first day.
00:34:06.017 --> 00:34:07.497
GINGER: Remember, we were in and out of Hollywood Studios.
00:34:07.517 --> 00:34:08.177
GINGER: Yeah, yeah.
00:34:08.197 --> 00:34:09.317
KRISTEN: We all did Mania.
00:34:09.677 --> 00:34:09.957
GINGER: Yeah.
00:34:10.637 --> 00:34:13.637
GINGER: So Test Track was the first ride that we had all actually ridden together.
00:34:13.657 --> 00:34:15.137
WHITNI: I thought Mania.
00:34:15.257 --> 00:34:15.497
KRISTEN: No.
00:34:15.517 --> 00:34:17.517
KRISTEN: I thought Mania was if we were at home.
00:34:18.057 --> 00:34:18.597
GINGER: But that's me.
00:34:18.617 --> 00:34:20.117
GINGER: That's like a...
00:34:20.137 --> 00:34:22.437
VIRGINIA: She was too focused on winning.
00:34:22.457 --> 00:34:22.837
WHITNI: Winning.
00:34:23.197 --> 00:34:24.457
GINGER: Get on my level.
00:34:26.437 --> 00:34:26.617
WHITNI: No.
00:34:26.637 --> 00:34:27.977
KRISTEN: And then we did the snacks.
00:34:28.677 --> 00:34:35.277
KRISTEN: So, I knew that I wanted to try that avocado toast that was there for the festival.
00:34:35.297 --> 00:34:40.277
KRISTEN: And it was delicious filling, but also light and fresh.
00:34:41.457 --> 00:34:45.017
KRISTEN: And I just remember Sav really wanting those scallops.
00:34:45.817 --> 00:34:47.817
KRISTEN: So I know that's what she had.
00:34:47.837 --> 00:34:50.537
GINGER: And Whitni and I went and got the lobster tail.
00:34:50.557 --> 00:34:51.957
GINGER: I did ask the cast member.
00:34:51.977 --> 00:34:55.797
GINGER: I went with Kristen at first, and she was like, oh, we can usually make anything gluten-free.
00:34:55.817 --> 00:34:58.937
GINGER: And I was like, can you make the avocado toast gluten-free?
00:34:58.957 --> 00:34:59.297
GINGER: She's like, no.
00:34:59.317 --> 00:35:00.697
GINGER: I was like, okay.
00:35:01.777 --> 00:35:03.837
GINGER: So Whitni and I went and got the lobster tail.
00:35:04.697 --> 00:35:07.817
VIRGINIA: That seems weird to me that they wouldn't have a gluten-free bread on hand.
00:35:09.037 --> 00:35:10.037
GINGER: That's like so easy.
00:35:10.217 --> 00:35:10.677
VIRGINIA: Right.
00:35:10.717 --> 00:35:11.277
VIRGINIA: Right.
00:35:11.917 --> 00:35:13.937
VIRGINIA: That's a very simple thing to take care of.
00:35:13.957 --> 00:35:14.637
VIRGINIA: But whatever.
00:35:15.237 --> 00:35:16.537
VIRGINIA: And what did you have for your snack?
00:35:17.377 --> 00:35:24.737
ANJ: So the running theme of my whole story is I did not change any outfits and I did not have a snack until Magic Kingdom.
00:35:24.737 --> 00:35:35.017
ANJ: I technically had a beverage in each park, like a coffee was like my first one and then I tried the cold brew for the first time in Hollywood Studios and then I had a margarita with Kristen.
00:35:35.037 --> 00:35:42.677
ANJ: And then, because like Magic Kingdom, you know, there is no beverages to be had there unless you have a sit down.
00:35:43.197 --> 00:35:48.297
ANJ: So I was waiting for my cheeseburger, spring rolls at Magic Kingdom and they were waiting.
00:35:49.317 --> 00:35:53.637
VIRGINIA: So was Magic Kingdom where you all headed after the Epcot snacks happened?
00:35:54.057 --> 00:35:59.097
GINGER: No, we did our photo pass picture in front of the ball and we actually had a great cast member.
00:35:59.117 --> 00:36:01.337
GINGER: She went above and beyond.
00:36:01.357 --> 00:36:06.737
GINGER: She was like laying on the floor and she was like, okay, y'all are going to jump.
00:36:06.757 --> 00:36:07.357
GINGER: You're going to do all this.
00:36:07.377 --> 00:36:10.017
GINGER: And she got some really, really cool shots of us.
00:36:11.557 --> 00:36:17.037
KRISTEN: And I did another outfit change, which was like so out of character for me.
00:36:17.057 --> 00:36:19.637
KRISTEN: I never do two outfits in a day.
00:36:19.757 --> 00:36:22.717
KRISTEN: So for me to do three in a day was like a big deal.
00:36:22.737 --> 00:36:25.317
VIRGINIA: You were inspired by Whitni.
00:36:25.717 --> 00:36:26.157
KRISTEN: I was.
00:36:27.217 --> 00:36:38.417
KRISTEN: Actually, it's funny because I posted a.5 selfie of myself a couple of days ago and somebody in my DMs actually said, tell me you just went on vacation with Whitni without telling me.
00:36:38.437 --> 00:36:41.497
KRISTEN: I'll go first.
00:36:41.677 --> 00:36:43.957
KRISTEN: And I was like, yep, exactly.
00:36:44.257 --> 00:36:47.137
KRISTEN: She taught me the.5 selfie and I'm never going back.
00:36:49.457 --> 00:36:57.397
ANJ: Yeah, I sent my husband a picture, like the.5, the first time I took it in the Skyliner after the girls were like, oh, take it like this, like Savannah and Whitni.
00:36:57.717 --> 00:37:01.017
ANJ: And he goes, oh, no, you do not have a selfie stick with you, do you?
00:37:01.077 --> 00:37:03.397
ANJ: And I'm like, no, it's a cool arm trick.
00:37:06.197 --> 00:37:07.077
VIRGINIA: I got to try that.
00:37:08.977 --> 00:37:11.457
KRISTEN: So then we took the monorail.
00:37:11.477 --> 00:37:14.557
KRISTEN: So that was our fourth mode of transportation.
00:37:14.637 --> 00:37:19.397
KRISTEN: So we were able to check off all those and we headed into Magic Kingdom.
00:37:19.417 --> 00:37:20.797
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:37:20.977 --> 00:37:23.857
VIRGINIA: So Magic Kingdom, what was first?
00:37:23.877 --> 00:37:25.977
VIRGINIA: I'm kind of assuming it was your photo.
00:37:26.357 --> 00:37:26.717
KRISTEN: It was.
00:37:26.737 --> 00:37:26.937
GINGER: Yeah.
00:37:28.017 --> 00:37:28.557
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:37:29.117 --> 00:37:32.717
GINGER: And at each park, we took a picture with holding up like what park it was.
00:37:32.977 --> 00:37:34.177
GINGER: But what park we forgot?
00:37:34.297 --> 00:37:34.817
KRISTEN: Epcot.
00:37:35.297 --> 00:37:36.677
GINGER: Epcot, we just took a picture.
00:37:36.697 --> 00:37:38.497
GINGER: We didn't hold up the number three.
00:37:38.617 --> 00:37:40.917
GINGER: So we had to go back and do another one while we were there.
00:37:40.937 --> 00:37:43.597
GINGER: But so, yeah, we did photo past picture in front of the castle.
00:37:44.117 --> 00:37:44.397
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:37:44.877 --> 00:37:47.217
KRISTEN: And we told the cast member there what we were doing.
00:37:47.237 --> 00:37:49.997
KRISTEN: And he said, OK, well, I'll be here after the fireworks.
00:37:49.997 --> 00:37:56.077
KRISTEN: Come back in the spot and I'll take a photo of you guys after you complete everything.
00:37:56.157 --> 00:37:58.417
KRISTEN: So we got our picture.
00:37:58.517 --> 00:38:00.777
KRISTEN: And then he wasn't there.
00:38:00.797 --> 00:38:02.317
KRISTEN: He wasn't there.
00:38:02.337 --> 00:38:07.217
GINGER: Whitni and I, we remember we went and got our rock hard gluten free hot dog.
00:38:08.017 --> 00:38:08.237
GINGER: Yeah.
00:38:08.257 --> 00:38:09.737
VIRGINIA: Oh, that sounds delicious.
00:38:09.757 --> 00:38:10.337
GINGER: Tell us more.
00:38:10.357 --> 00:38:13.957
KRISTEN: So I was going to say, is that when we split up to go get our snacks?
00:38:14.277 --> 00:38:14.777
GINGER: Yes.
00:38:15.057 --> 00:38:19.977
KRISTEN: So Anj and I and Sav went to go get cheeseburger spring rolls.
00:38:21.617 --> 00:38:30.117
KRISTEN: So we had those while Whitni and Ginger had their gluten free hot dog buns from Casey.
00:38:30.137 --> 00:38:33.737
ANJ: Sav also had cheeseburger and pepperoni.
00:38:36.957 --> 00:38:39.757
KRISTEN: Yeah, she had a full order of each.
00:38:39.757 --> 00:38:41.857
KRISTEN: So I got one of each.
00:38:42.097 --> 00:38:43.317
KRISTEN: So I got two total.
00:38:43.357 --> 00:38:46.457
KRISTEN: She got two cheeseburger and two pepperoni.
00:38:46.477 --> 00:38:47.637
KRISTEN: So she had four total.
00:38:47.857 --> 00:38:50.017
KRISTEN: And then we did princesses.
00:38:51.837 --> 00:38:54.477
GINGER: So who said they're going to travel with me?
00:38:54.497 --> 00:38:55.057
GINGER: Was it you, Whitni?
00:38:55.077 --> 00:38:55.217
KRISTEN: Yes.
00:38:55.237 --> 00:38:59.017
GINGER: I feel like it's maybe it's I think it's just Southern hospitality.
00:38:59.037 --> 00:39:06.057
GINGER: But so we had an appointment or we had like a pass, you know, to go in to meet Tiana and Rapunzel.
00:39:06.497 --> 00:39:08.257
GINGER: And I think we had like 20 minutes, right?
00:39:08.437 --> 00:39:09.877
GINGER: It was like 20 or 30 minutes.
00:39:09.877 --> 00:39:14.017
GINGER: We were wiped by this point, you know, we had been in the rain, we had been running around all over.
00:39:14.037 --> 00:39:14.897
GINGER: It was our last park.
00:39:15.397 --> 00:39:17.677
GINGER: And so there was this very sweet cast member named Andrew.
00:39:17.697 --> 00:39:22.597
KRISTEN: Andrew, why are you not Prince Eric in the parks?
00:39:22.617 --> 00:39:23.977
KRISTEN: What do you do when you're in the front?
00:39:23.997 --> 00:39:25.737
GINGER: He was the wrong assignment.
00:39:26.397 --> 00:39:27.737
GINGER: He looked very much like a prince.
00:39:27.757 --> 00:39:31.857
GINGER: And I just went up and I was like, Andrew, you know, it's just, it's close.
00:39:31.897 --> 00:39:34.157
GINGER: We just go ahead and get on and he's like, yeah, go ahead and get in.
00:39:34.177 --> 00:39:39.077
GINGER: So we went and met Tiana and Rapunzel and that was a whole hot mess in itself.
00:39:39.097 --> 00:39:41.657
GINGER: And remember, Tiana is like, y'all go check on Anj out there.
00:39:42.137 --> 00:39:49.437
ANJ: Well, I was getting a video for my daughter's friend, like Rapunzel, because I already met Rapunzel earlier in the day.
00:39:49.457 --> 00:39:52.457
ANJ: And so she had sent a video to my daughter like saying hi.
00:39:52.477 --> 00:39:57.637
ANJ: So one of her little friends on her soccer team, I like made Rapunzel take a video and said hi to her.
00:39:57.657 --> 00:40:00.277
ANJ: And I was like trying to send it and I had already met Ms.
00:40:00.297 --> 00:40:01.477
ANJ: Tiana earlier in the day.
00:40:01.497 --> 00:40:03.797
ANJ: But the second Ms.
00:40:03.817 --> 00:40:09.357
ANJ: Tiana was very, very concerned because I had walked away and then she told them to come check on me.
00:40:09.857 --> 00:40:10.737
VIRGINIA: Very sweet of her.
00:40:11.197 --> 00:40:12.357
KRISTEN: And then we rode.
00:40:13.697 --> 00:40:16.057
GINGER: Remember, I had to go talk to the Nolan.
00:40:16.617 --> 00:40:20.457
GINGER: So then we had another pass to go on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.
00:40:20.477 --> 00:40:21.697
GINGER: And again, we were burnt out.
00:40:21.717 --> 00:40:22.297
GINGER: We were tired.
00:40:22.317 --> 00:40:24.737
GINGER: And I was like, let me go see what I can finagle.
00:40:24.777 --> 00:40:27.337
GINGER: You know, so I go up there and there's a cast member.
00:40:27.357 --> 00:40:28.437
GINGER: The girls didn't come with me.
00:40:28.457 --> 00:40:29.397
GINGER: They stayed sitting down.
00:40:29.517 --> 00:40:30.517
GINGER: And so I walked over there.
00:40:30.537 --> 00:40:33.457
GINGER: I was like, Nolan, listen, we're close.
00:40:33.477 --> 00:40:34.137
GINGER: It's almost time.
00:40:34.237 --> 00:40:36.577
GINGER: Could we just, you know, we're doing a four-part challenge.
00:40:36.597 --> 00:40:37.357
GINGER: We're tired.
00:40:38.117 --> 00:40:39.237
GINGER: He's like, yeah, come on.
00:40:39.257 --> 00:40:40.757
GINGER: And so I text the girls and I'm like, let's go.
00:40:40.777 --> 00:40:41.597
GINGER: We can go on now.
00:40:41.597 --> 00:40:42.857
GINGER: So we did Seven Dwarfs.
00:40:43.137 --> 00:40:43.617
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:40:43.637 --> 00:40:48.077
VIRGINIA: So what I'm learning is Ginger is the person to send in when you need anything.
00:40:48.097 --> 00:40:50.097
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:40:50.157 --> 00:40:57.857
KRISTEN: And literally, it didn't stop there when we start talking about when we talk about Saturday, we'll we'll talk more Bob, my boy, Bob.
00:40:58.097 --> 00:40:58.417
GINGER: Yeah.
00:41:00.037 --> 00:41:02.597
KRISTEN: So then we rode Mind Train.
00:41:03.697 --> 00:41:07.097
GINGER: Whitni made her purchase after no before Mind Train.
00:41:07.117 --> 00:41:10.137
GINGER: Whitni, remember you got Harper Pocahontas?
00:41:10.697 --> 00:41:12.257
WHITNI: Pocahontas and Rapunzel.
00:41:12.277 --> 00:41:13.757
GINGER: Didn't you get an autograph book?
00:41:14.057 --> 00:41:14.897
WHITNI: I did.
00:41:14.917 --> 00:41:17.277
VIRGINIA: Did you all you were wiped out?
00:41:17.377 --> 00:41:21.097
VIRGINIA: So I'm imagining you did not stay for Happily Ever After.
00:41:22.417 --> 00:41:23.017
WHITNI: We did.
00:41:23.117 --> 00:41:36.557
KRISTEN: So while Whitni was getting her purchase for Harper, we had pins, celebration pins made that said, I'm celebrating four parks in one day.
00:41:36.577 --> 00:41:46.017
KRISTEN: So we ended up going over to the Tangled Bathrooms area and we watched Happily Ever After over there so that we could get some content.
00:41:46.117 --> 00:41:56.937
KRISTEN: Some of us did the lantern photos because we had plans to go back to that cast member who said, all right, well, you guys come back here after Happily Ever After and I'll take your picture.
00:41:57.497 --> 00:41:59.177
KRISTEN: We'll do the pins and everything.
00:41:59.977 --> 00:42:05.657
KRISTEN: So we went back over there and they told us, oh yeah, the photo pass starts back up in five minutes.
00:42:05.797 --> 00:42:10.257
KRISTEN: I think it was 10 o'clock or 11 o'clock or I don't remember.
00:42:10.677 --> 00:42:20.977
KRISTEN: And he is not the cast member that came back, but the one that did put up with our antics were like, we want to like lay down and make it look like we're really tired because we are.
00:42:20.997 --> 00:42:23.977
KRISTEN: But like we just did the four-part show and she's like, all right, I got you, go ahead.
00:42:24.877 --> 00:42:27.117
KRISTEN: So those are some of my favorite pictures from the trip.
00:42:28.317 --> 00:42:35.417
VIRGINIA: I love that you got into it and that you got all of the cast members on your side to make these magical photos.
00:42:35.617 --> 00:42:41.617
VIRGINIA: So I hope that listeners will be following along with those as they're listening to the episode because there's some cute photos.
00:42:42.497 --> 00:42:44.617
VIRGINIA: All right, so back to the condo for sleep.
00:42:47.397 --> 00:42:52.337
GINGER: No, no, we were wiped and like Whitni, Whitni, your feet, something was wrong with you, Whitni.
00:42:52.597 --> 00:42:54.817
WHITNI: Oh, my feet were dying.
00:42:55.157 --> 00:42:57.977
GINGER: Remember Anj still had all of her stuff at the Contemporary.
00:42:58.917 --> 00:43:09.897
GINGER: So we had to walk from Magic Kingdom to the Contemporary to get Anj's bag to then take the monorail back to TTC to get in my rental car.
00:43:10.097 --> 00:43:12.817
GINGER: So we were like walking so far.
00:43:13.397 --> 00:43:14.277
VIRGINIA: Oh, my goodness.
00:43:14.937 --> 00:43:23.197
KRISTEN: And let's not forget that security made Anj empty the entire contents of her bag to get on to the monorail.
00:43:23.277 --> 00:43:31.857
KRISTEN: God loves security and I'm so glad they do it, but watching her have to unload all of her clothes in front of the security.
00:43:31.897 --> 00:43:34.937
GINGER: And then Anj made a wonderful lifelong friend on the monorail.
00:43:37.877 --> 00:43:40.517
KRISTEN: And then back to the condo and her sleep.
00:43:41.297 --> 00:43:43.077
GINGER: But we stayed up so late.
00:43:44.277 --> 00:43:47.077
VIRGINIA: So what time did you end up going to bed after all of this?
00:43:47.997 --> 00:43:49.377
WHITNI: We were all talking.
00:43:49.737 --> 00:43:53.217
KRISTEN: I was the first one in every night and they'd be like, oh, Kristen already asleep.
00:43:53.237 --> 00:43:55.717
KRISTEN: And I'd be like, no, I'm awake, but I'm not.
00:43:57.557 --> 00:44:00.117
GINGER: So that was Friday night, right?
00:44:00.177 --> 00:44:00.577
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:44:00.597 --> 00:44:00.837
WHITNI: Yeah.
00:44:04.517 --> 00:44:08.617
GINGER: So there was a shooting at my condo while we were there.
00:44:08.737 --> 00:44:10.877
GINGER: Someone passed away.
00:44:11.337 --> 00:44:12.717
GINGER: But that was Saturday, right?
00:44:12.917 --> 00:44:17.997
KRISTEN: Yeah, that was the last night we were there because Anj saw them when she was leaving.
00:44:18.017 --> 00:44:19.217
GINGER: We woke up to Sunday.
00:44:19.897 --> 00:44:21.657
KRISTEN: So I'd say we went to bed Friday night.
00:44:21.677 --> 00:44:23.397
VIRGINIA: Virginia, Virginia.
00:44:24.737 --> 00:44:25.617
KRISTEN: Yeah, we'll get to that.
00:44:30.997 --> 00:44:33.057
GINGER: We stayed up the night that there was that shooting.
00:44:33.077 --> 00:44:42.317
GINGER: We stayed up late talking about low quality stuff and we were up till like 2 15 and allegedly the shooting happened at like 3 45.
00:44:43.377 --> 00:44:47.237
GINGER: But we stayed up late that night talking, right?
00:44:47.937 --> 00:44:48.957
ANJ: Yeah, yeah.
00:44:49.137 --> 00:44:49.457
ANJ: Yeah.
00:44:50.997 --> 00:44:55.477
GINGER: And then Saturday, of course, I was the last one at the park.
00:44:56.597 --> 00:44:58.537
GINGER: They were out the door fast and I was last.
00:45:00.757 --> 00:45:01.277
VIRGINIA: Hi there.
00:45:01.517 --> 00:45:02.237
VIRGINIA: Virginia here.
00:45:02.257 --> 00:45:10.197
VIRGINIA: I just wanted to pop in since we mentioned that we would talk more about the shooting incident later and you'll see that it doesn't really come back up again in our conversation.
00:45:10.637 --> 00:45:13.797
VIRGINIA: For those who want to know more, I have linked an article in the show notes.
00:45:14.217 --> 00:45:24.057
VIRGINIA: It is still an act of investigation without many details shared, but on behalf of myself and the ladies of The Fab Five, we would like to offer our condolences to the family of the victim.
00:45:24.757 --> 00:45:28.137
VIRGINIA: Apologies for the interruption, and now back to the interview.
00:45:28.157 --> 00:45:32.677
VIRGINIA: All right, well, let's get into Saturday then.
00:45:32.717 --> 00:45:38.697
VIRGINIA: So according to my notes, you were all going to be starting at Animal Kingdom that day, except for Anj, who was going to Universal.
00:45:38.717 --> 00:45:41.497
VIRGINIA: But I can tell by your faces that didn't happen.
00:45:42.597 --> 00:45:46.617
VIRGINIA: So let me start actually with Anj before we get into the rest of it.
00:45:46.637 --> 00:45:48.437
VIRGINIA: So Anj, how was your Universal time?
00:45:48.457 --> 00:45:54.797
ANJ: So I was like really, really excited overall, I wrote ET, like that was like one of the first things I did.
00:45:54.817 --> 00:46:00.037
ANJ: I just found out how cute that ride is with all the little baby ETs at the end.
00:46:00.157 --> 00:46:01.217
VIRGINIA: Did he say your name?
00:46:01.237 --> 00:46:04.257
ANJ: Yes, he still gets the ET passport.
00:46:04.277 --> 00:46:05.957
ANJ: We had to have a planet, so that was super fun.
00:46:06.617 --> 00:46:12.537
ANJ: I did do both Islands of Adventure and Universal in that time frame, just because I knew I wasn't going to be able to get back to Universal.
00:46:12.557 --> 00:46:13.977
ANJ: And I just wanted to look at certain things that I did.
00:46:15.357 --> 00:46:17.197
ANJ: I did do a lot of the things that I did.
00:46:17.217 --> 00:46:19.497
ANJ: I did do a lot of the things that I did.
00:46:22.217 --> 00:46:26.777
ANJ: I did want to do Hogwarts Express, which I also did, and that was my first time riding that.
00:46:26.797 --> 00:46:31.437
ANJ: So yeah, I just feel like I talk about universal a lot, and I'm like, oh, I've never done that.
00:46:31.797 --> 00:46:33.577
ANJ: And it's definitely cool.
00:46:34.537 --> 00:46:34.997
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:46:35.037 --> 00:46:43.837
VIRGINIA: So for everyone else who was sticking around the Disney property for the day, what did you end up doing if you didn't end up starting at Animal Kingdom together?
00:46:44.397 --> 00:46:50.757
KRISTEN: So I was the only one that actually went to Animal Kingdom that morning, and that was only because I didn't want to.
00:46:50.877 --> 00:46:59.777
KRISTEN: I wanted to go to Epcot with everybody else, but I had forgot about the travel agent station at Animal Kingdom, and I really wanted to do it.
00:46:59.797 --> 00:47:01.417
KRISTEN: I wanted to get some content there.
00:47:02.417 --> 00:47:11.217
KRISTEN: So I took an Uber by myself to Animal Kingdom just to go in to see that TA station, which again, like Anj said, was super cute.
00:47:11.237 --> 00:47:14.397
KRISTEN: I was so appreciative that Disney did that for us.
00:47:14.417 --> 00:47:23.217
KRISTEN: Got some good footage of the tree from there, grabbed another coconut coffee, and then I was out and I took a bus to Epcot and met up with them.
00:47:23.277 --> 00:47:31.137
KRISTEN: So I don't think that they were at Epcot too long before I got there because I did head out first.
00:47:31.257 --> 00:47:32.357
GINGER: I was still sleeping.
00:47:32.597 --> 00:47:32.997
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:47:34.977 --> 00:47:40.057
VIRGINIA: Whitni, what were you doing at Epcot while waiting for Kristen to join up with you?
00:47:40.697 --> 00:47:42.217
WHITNI: I'm trying to remember.
00:47:42.777 --> 00:47:44.037
GINGER: You and Sav went somewhere.
00:47:44.497 --> 00:47:46.077
WHITNI: So we met Figment.
00:47:46.097 --> 00:47:47.157
WHITNI: We went to meet Figment.
00:47:47.177 --> 00:47:47.517
KRISTEN: Yes.
00:47:47.837 --> 00:47:50.917
KRISTEN: Because that's where I met up with you guys once I got there.
00:47:51.237 --> 00:47:51.597
WHITNI: Yes.
00:47:51.617 --> 00:47:56.657
WHITNI: So I had a Figment bound on, so I wanted to go meet him and get some content doing that.
00:47:56.997 --> 00:48:02.937
WHITNI: And then seriously, as soon as I met Figment, I went and I changed into a Rapunzel outfit.
00:48:04.217 --> 00:48:12.497
WHITNI: And then we met up with another creator that I had coordinated with to meet there and she hung out with us for the remaining time that we were at EPCOT, really.
00:48:12.997 --> 00:48:14.917
KRISTEN: Do you want to mention who that was?
00:48:15.117 --> 00:48:15.777
KRISTEN: Oh yeah, go ahead.
00:48:16.057 --> 00:48:17.357
WHITNI: Yeah, her name is Magda.
00:48:17.377 --> 00:48:19.417
WHITNI: Her handle is ImagineItMagic.
00:48:20.317 --> 00:48:22.297
VIRGINIA: I will definitely tag her in the show notes.
00:48:22.557 --> 00:48:23.197
WHITNI: Yes.
00:48:23.817 --> 00:48:24.057
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:48:24.077 --> 00:48:26.797
KRISTEN: And then we ended up filming some reels.
00:48:26.817 --> 00:48:27.217
VIRGINIA: Reels?
00:48:27.457 --> 00:48:28.197
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:48:28.457 --> 00:48:30.337
WHITNI: And they like have been doing so good.
00:48:31.177 --> 00:48:36.097
KRISTEN: We filmed a hangover reel of me dancing to Who Let the Dogs Out.
00:48:37.257 --> 00:48:40.757
KRISTEN: And people are loving me make a fool of myself.
00:48:41.057 --> 00:48:42.717
VIRGINIA: Was Whitni in charge of all of this?
00:48:43.497 --> 00:48:43.917
WHITNI: No.
00:48:43.937 --> 00:48:45.117
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:48:45.137 --> 00:48:48.017
VIRGINIA: Who was directing all of these reels?
00:48:48.377 --> 00:48:49.577
WHITNI: I would say Savannah.
00:48:49.617 --> 00:48:50.037
KRISTEN: Yeah.
00:48:51.457 --> 00:48:57.437
GINGER: I feel like Savannah or Whitni and then Kristen came in a lot too, like with some leadership there.
00:48:57.457 --> 00:49:01.117
GINGER: Me, I just whatever you tell me, you know.
00:49:01.697 --> 00:49:02.417
KRISTEN: I forgot Sav.
00:49:02.437 --> 00:49:03.977
KRISTEN: We are not Sav.
00:49:03.997 --> 00:49:05.537
KRISTEN: Ginger, you and I saw Daisy.
00:49:06.797 --> 00:49:09.877
KRISTEN: Walking in to Epcot because I forgot.
00:49:11.157 --> 00:49:12.737
KRISTEN: Pluto had a sticker on his butt.
00:49:13.717 --> 00:49:23.297
GINGER: So Pluto, like a small size, small tag, like maybe where he hugged a kid and it was still on the kid shirt and then it like rubbed off on him.
00:49:23.317 --> 00:49:25.497
GINGER: So the cast member was like, hey, hey.
00:49:25.837 --> 00:49:26.817
GINGER: He was roaming.
00:49:26.837 --> 00:49:34.917
GINGER: Pluto was roaming and I was like ready to take a selfie and the cast member was like, it's only if he wants to stop and he did not stop for me and then he walked away and I was like, well, you have a sticker on your bum.
00:49:35.037 --> 00:49:37.477
GINGER: So it should have stopped for me, it would have helped you.
00:49:40.177 --> 00:49:40.737
VIRGINIA: All right.
00:49:41.417 --> 00:49:42.097
VIRGINIA: What was next?
00:49:42.697 --> 00:49:43.537
KRISTEN: Test track.
00:49:43.557 --> 00:49:44.637
KRISTEN: Test track again.
00:49:45.917 --> 00:49:46.897
GINGER: That was super fun.
00:49:47.557 --> 00:49:49.297
KRISTEN: And then there were the thunderstorms.
00:49:50.597 --> 00:49:52.617
WHITNI: Yes, the Skyliner.
00:49:52.677 --> 00:50:01.137
KRISTEN: We had plans to end the night at Hollywood Studios and the Skyliner was down so we couldn't get on it.
00:50:01.137 --> 00:50:04.497
KRISTEN: So we went to those bathrooms right at the International Gateway.
00:50:05.197 --> 00:50:07.277
KRISTEN: It was Savannah, Ginger and I.
00:50:07.417 --> 00:50:10.337
GINGER: You're completing a huge part before the Skyliner.
00:50:10.657 --> 00:50:12.037
KRISTEN: We got conga.
00:50:12.957 --> 00:50:13.997
KRISTEN: Well, I wasn't there for that.
00:50:14.017 --> 00:50:17.477
KRISTEN: That's when I sat in Norway for two hours by myself.
00:50:18.277 --> 00:50:25.157
GINGER: So Magda, Sav, Whitni and myself, we went on conga and I was like...
00:50:25.177 --> 00:50:26.357
VIRGINIA: You're calling it conga now?
00:50:26.717 --> 00:50:27.577
VIRGINIA: You went on conga.
00:50:28.717 --> 00:50:29.277
GINGER: You know what?
00:50:29.617 --> 00:50:34.577
GINGER: Now that you've gotten it, it's kind of like you're in a maraca and you're like, you know, kind of being talked around.
00:50:34.597 --> 00:50:35.477
GINGER: So it wouldn't be a bad name.
00:50:36.057 --> 00:50:40.477
GINGER: So we went on Guardians and we got row nine and nine's my lucky number.
00:50:40.497 --> 00:50:41.497
GINGER: So I'm looking at pictures.
00:50:41.517 --> 00:50:44.777
GINGER: We took a picture of all of our feet around row nine and I was like, okay.
00:50:45.037 --> 00:50:46.417
GINGER: And I remember making...
00:50:46.877 --> 00:50:49.697
GINGER: People have been invested even before the girls trip.
00:50:49.737 --> 00:50:52.257
GINGER: I always post a poll like, will today be conga?
00:50:52.277 --> 00:50:54.097
GINGER: And people are like, I'm really invested in this.
00:50:54.277 --> 00:50:56.937
GINGER: I really want you to get it and I'm like, I want to get it too.
00:50:57.757 --> 00:51:02.437
GINGER: So I posted on my stories, I was like, at this point, I know I'm not going to get it.
00:51:02.457 --> 00:51:03.757
GINGER: I'm just having fun, whatever.
00:51:03.777 --> 00:51:06.417
GINGER: And then we waited for row nine, so I took a picture of our feet.
00:51:07.017 --> 00:51:10.537
GINGER: And then I went into it with like, okay, it's not going to happen.
00:51:10.897 --> 00:51:15.957
GINGER: So Magda actually was video recording and she got it.
00:51:15.977 --> 00:51:20.357
GINGER: Whenever it was conga, I'm screaming, we're all screaming, I'm crying.
00:51:20.417 --> 00:51:21.297
GINGER: I'm so happy.
00:51:21.517 --> 00:51:26.477
GINGER: I'm bawling, crying on conga and we get off and there was another sweet cast member Bobby.
00:51:26.497 --> 00:51:29.977
GINGER: And I was like, oh my gosh, Bobby, we got it.
00:51:29.997 --> 00:51:33.017
GINGER: We got, he was like, okay, whoa, you're really loud.
00:51:33.037 --> 00:51:33.837
GINGER: I was like, oh my gosh.
00:51:33.857 --> 00:51:36.957
GINGER: And he was like, well, y'all are being pixie dusted.
00:51:36.977 --> 00:51:37.817
GINGER: You get to ride again.
00:51:37.817 --> 00:51:40.297
GINGER: And he took us through the exit and we got to ride again.
00:51:40.317 --> 00:51:42.237
GINGER: But I did get conga.
00:51:42.257 --> 00:51:45.137
GINGER: We call it the luck of the wit.
00:51:45.157 --> 00:51:50.477
GINGER: I got to take my picture with my, I got a button that said I finished the six song challenge.
00:51:50.477 --> 00:51:52.097
GINGER: But I did get conga.
00:51:52.717 --> 00:51:53.737
VIRGINIA: Fantastic.
00:51:53.757 --> 00:52:00.257
ANJ: I was at Universal and I was looking and I'm like, oh my gosh, she got conga finally.
00:52:00.277 --> 00:52:06.517
ANJ: And I was so mad that I wasn't there for Ginger just because she said everybody is invested in Ginger getting conga.
00:52:06.837 --> 00:52:10.357
ANJ: She's so brilliant, but way too many times to have never gotten it before.
00:52:11.377 --> 00:52:12.757
GINGER: And I wish she would have been there.
00:52:13.337 --> 00:52:14.537
GINGER: Guess we'll have to go again.
00:52:14.557 --> 00:52:17.257
VIRGINIA: Next year, next year, right?
00:52:18.517 --> 00:52:22.697
KRISTEN: Oh, yeah, so that was a huge part that I just shut out of my mind.
00:52:22.717 --> 00:52:31.637
KRISTEN: So when they were doing that, I had planned on getting an avocado margarita and the line was literally like out the door.
00:52:31.957 --> 00:52:35.617
KRISTEN: That's when I met up with Grumps and Angela.
00:52:41.717 --> 00:52:52.617
KRISTEN: She is a Bo small shop that I rep for and she was there with another creator and we knew that we were going to be there at the same time.
00:52:53.477 --> 00:52:58.637
KRISTEN: I said, the girls are going to ride Guardians, I'm going to go get a margarita and they were actually over there.
00:52:58.637 --> 00:53:01.997
KRISTEN: So I did meet up with them during that time.
00:53:01.997 --> 00:53:17.677
KRISTEN: So I forgot, it wasn't like an hour and a half that I was by myself, but I could have done so much more in that hour and a half and I kind of just like sat and took in the sights and sounds of Norway for a good amount of time because we had plans to ride Frozen.
00:53:17.697 --> 00:53:25.197
KRISTEN: So they were meeting me over in Norway and then I called Savannah and she said, yeah, we're eating in Canada.
00:53:25.857 --> 00:53:29.777
KRISTEN: And I was like, okay, well, I guess I'll head that way.
00:53:29.797 --> 00:53:34.117
KRISTEN: And that's when the thunderstorms started.
00:53:34.137 --> 00:53:40.137
KRISTEN: So we had plans to go over to Hollywood Studios and it started thundering.
00:53:40.197 --> 00:53:41.957
KRISTEN: So they shut the Skyliner down.
00:53:42.957 --> 00:53:46.517
KRISTEN: So Whitni was driving over.
00:53:46.637 --> 00:53:59.217
KRISTEN: So she was spending a little bit more time in Epcot with Magda and Ginger, Sav and I were going to Hollywood Studios because we had reservations at 50s primetime.
00:53:59.597 --> 00:53:59.937
VIRGINIA: Right.
00:53:59.957 --> 00:54:02.157
VIRGINIA: You had a dining package for Fantasmic.
00:54:02.237 --> 00:54:02.737
KRISTEN: Yes.
00:54:02.877 --> 00:54:12.417
KRISTEN: So we stayed at the bathrooms at the International Gateway for probably 45 minutes, hoping that the Skyliner would get going again.
00:54:12.437 --> 00:54:18.757
KRISTEN: And we filmed another reel while we were there, another hangover clip.
00:54:19.157 --> 00:54:20.217
GINGER: Which did really well.
00:54:20.537 --> 00:54:22.117
KRISTEN: That went really well, too.
00:54:22.717 --> 00:54:25.037
KRISTEN: And then we were like, we have to get there.
00:54:25.077 --> 00:54:31.017
KRISTEN: So we walked up to the Skyliner and they said that it wasn't going to be running again, but that they would put us on a bus.
00:54:31.357 --> 00:54:31.897
VIRGINIA: Nightmare.
00:54:32.357 --> 00:54:38.477
KRISTEN: So they had us come in, line up on the Skyliner, like in the Skyliner, like we were getting on the Skyliner.
00:54:38.497 --> 00:54:44.897
KRISTEN: And once it hit 50 people, they brought us out back to backstage area and put us on a bus.
00:54:45.577 --> 00:54:45.977
VIRGINIA: Okay.
00:54:45.997 --> 00:54:50.817
KRISTEN: And we were under the impression that that bus was going right to Hollywood Studios.
00:54:51.037 --> 00:54:52.317
VIRGINIA: Well, it did not.
00:54:53.017 --> 00:54:55.057
VIRGINIA: Did it do the whole loop of all of the Skyliners or what?
00:54:55.077 --> 00:55:00.737
KRISTEN: It went to everything that the Skyliner goes to, and Hollywood Studios was the last stop.
00:55:00.897 --> 00:55:04.457
GINGER: It even went to like Pop Century and no one was getting off.
00:55:04.557 --> 00:55:10.877
GINGER: Like they were going to Art of Animation, Pop Century, and one guy was like, can we find out if anyone even needs to get go?
00:55:10.917 --> 00:55:14.177
GINGER: And so like we went to Pop Century and sat there for people to unload, no one unloaded.
00:55:14.197 --> 00:55:16.497
GINGER: I mean, people were getting really frustrated.
00:55:18.157 --> 00:55:19.417
GINGER: We were on there a long time.
00:55:20.157 --> 00:55:30.037
KRISTEN: So we ended up showing up to our 50s prime time like an hour late, which the cast member when we were getting on the bus, we said to him, we have reservations.
00:55:30.057 --> 00:55:31.417
KRISTEN: Are they even going to let us in?
00:55:31.437 --> 00:55:36.317
KRISTEN: And he was like, let me call over there, let them know that you guys are on your way.
00:55:36.337 --> 00:55:40.697
KRISTEN: So when we get there, the hostess said, I did hear about you.
00:55:41.257 --> 00:55:43.897
GINGER: No, remember, they said we had to wait, we went to the back of the list.
00:55:43.917 --> 00:55:48.517
KRISTEN: She said, yes, someone did call and you can still eat, but you have to go to the back of the list.
00:55:48.537 --> 00:55:49.277
KRISTEN: And we were like-
00:55:49.517 --> 00:55:50.677
GINGER: And it was an hour wait.
00:55:50.817 --> 00:55:54.017
KRISTEN: Yeah, we were like, this wasn't our fault, like why can't we?
00:55:54.877 --> 00:55:56.357
KRISTEN: So we said, okay, fine, we'll wait.
00:55:56.377 --> 00:56:00.737
KRISTEN: And then Ginger's like, you know, I don't really agree with this.
00:56:00.757 --> 00:56:02.157
KRISTEN: I think we're going to go back out.
00:56:02.677 --> 00:56:06.617
GINGER: So Kristen went to go get some pictures in front of the Tower of Terror, a real content.
00:56:06.637 --> 00:56:07.257
KRISTEN: A real, yes.
00:56:07.977 --> 00:56:10.757
GINGER: Sav was, I think, oh, she was getting pictures.
00:56:11.817 --> 00:56:18.597
WHITNI: No, so she was changing in my car because I got to, I actually took the Skyliner when it opened back up.
00:56:18.617 --> 00:56:21.397
WHITNI: So I got to Hollywood Studios right after you guys did.
00:56:22.677 --> 00:56:28.337
GINGER: And so I just went up to the front and I said, I'm not being a Karen.
00:56:28.357 --> 00:56:31.237
GINGER: I said, I just, I want to understand the process.
00:56:31.257 --> 00:56:34.557
GINGER: Like I'm a business owner and I'm always like, you know, I want to understand your process.
00:56:34.577 --> 00:56:35.637
GINGER: I want to understand your policy.
00:56:35.637 --> 00:56:43.777
GINGER: I said, you know, I understand that we were late, you know, but y'all have acknowledged that someone called and I'm just understand, I'm trying to understand like, what's the policy?
00:56:43.797 --> 00:56:45.817
GINGER: Why do we have to go wait an hour now?
00:56:45.837 --> 00:56:48.977
GINGER: You know, and the lady was like, oh, no problem.
00:56:49.097 --> 00:56:50.737
GINGER: If it's all your party here, we can sit you now.
00:56:50.757 --> 00:56:53.937
GINGER: So I'm telling Kristen, I'm like, come back, Abort Mission, come back.
00:56:53.957 --> 00:56:55.357
GINGER: I'm like, Sav, hurry up.
00:56:55.697 --> 00:56:57.717
GINGER: So we got seated like within five minutes.
00:56:59.377 --> 00:57:02.517
KRISTEN: And that was another first for me, 50s primetime.
00:57:03.617 --> 00:57:04.677
VIRGINIA: And what did you think about it?
00:57:05.557 --> 00:57:06.437
KRISTEN: I thought it was good.
00:57:06.457 --> 00:57:07.297
KRISTEN: I had the fried.
00:57:07.317 --> 00:57:08.937
KRISTEN: We actually all had the fried chicken.
00:57:08.957 --> 00:57:10.077
KRISTEN: I had the gluten free.
00:57:10.097 --> 00:57:11.457
KRISTEN: Ginger's was gluten free.
00:57:11.457 --> 00:57:11.757
KRISTEN: Yep.
00:57:12.737 --> 00:57:15.297
VIRGINIA: Did you have a server who was in it?
00:57:15.817 --> 00:57:16.677
KRISTEN: Yep, Perry.
00:57:16.697 --> 00:57:20.717
KRISTEN: He was not as nasty to us as Savannah would have liked.
00:57:20.757 --> 00:57:25.417
KRISTEN: She wanted like a really mean and he wasn't.
00:57:25.437 --> 00:57:30.077
KRISTEN: And we like tried to, you know, I'd be like, can I tell you what we just had to go through?
00:57:30.097 --> 00:57:31.617
KRISTEN: And he's like, I'd rather you didn't.
00:57:33.017 --> 00:57:34.677
KRISTEN: Like that was about as mean as he got.
00:57:34.697 --> 00:57:35.697
GINGER: But he was funny.
00:57:35.717 --> 00:57:40.497
GINGER: Like with kids, you know, they say like no elbows on the table, no cell phone with us.
00:57:40.517 --> 00:57:41.637
GINGER: They were like funny.
00:57:41.657 --> 00:57:44.097
GINGER: He's like, are y'all going to take another picture of your food now?
00:57:44.117 --> 00:57:46.437
GINGER: Like when he brought us our dessert, he's like, you got to take a picture.
00:57:46.457 --> 00:57:50.217
GINGER: Like he kind of tailored it to adult humor, I felt like.
00:57:51.217 --> 00:57:59.117
KRISTEN: He asked if Savannah left to go to a rave because she was wearing this like beaded, like see-through shirt thing.
00:57:59.137 --> 00:58:00.977
KRISTEN: And he was like, where'd the other one go?
00:58:01.017 --> 00:58:03.197
KRISTEN: Did she go hit a rave like with that outfit?
00:58:04.477 --> 00:58:08.257
GINGER: And then I recently in January stopped drinking.
00:58:08.277 --> 00:58:10.517
GINGER: And so Kristen and Sav both got.
00:58:10.537 --> 00:58:11.617
KRISTEN: I had a Diet Coke.
00:58:11.897 --> 00:58:12.517
GINGER: Oh yeah, that's right.
00:58:12.537 --> 00:58:17.357
GINGER: Sav got that milky looking drink, but I wanted a mocktail because I wanted to feel like, you know.
00:58:17.737 --> 00:58:18.277
GINGER: And so he brought me.
00:58:18.297 --> 00:58:19.617
VIRGINIA: Oh, I saw this on your Instagram.
00:58:19.637 --> 00:58:21.677
GINGER: And a kid's cup with a glow in the dark ice cube.
00:58:21.697 --> 00:58:24.677
GINGER: I was like, not really what I was going for, but it was really good.
00:58:25.357 --> 00:58:26.257
GINGER: So dinner was good.
00:58:26.277 --> 00:58:27.257
GINGER: Yeah, dinner was really good.
00:58:28.557 --> 00:58:33.397
VIRGINIA: And for the dining package, it guarantees that you'll get to get in.
00:58:33.677 --> 00:58:37.557
VIRGINIA: Do you still have to get there a little early to get a good seat at Fantasmic?
00:58:37.577 --> 00:58:38.857
VIRGINIA: Or how does that work?
00:58:39.817 --> 00:58:43.877
KRISTEN: No, we got there, I would say, like, probably 10 minutes before it started.
00:58:43.897 --> 00:58:49.217
KRISTEN: And, you know, we weren't in the front, but, you know, we had a great seat.
00:58:49.237 --> 00:58:51.797
KRISTEN: I'd say we were probably halfway up the stage.
00:58:51.837 --> 00:58:57.037
GINGER: Yeah, the whole middle section of the, you know, in front of the stage is reserved for the dining package.
00:58:57.037 --> 00:59:02.997
GINGER: So, even if you get a bad seat in the reserved seating, you're still great.
00:59:04.917 --> 00:59:09.297
KRISTEN: So, after dinner, we met up with Whitni and Angela.
00:59:09.317 --> 00:59:11.577
GINGER: That's when we rode Rise, right?
00:59:11.917 --> 00:59:18.297
KRISTEN: Ginger and I rode Rise for the first time with Whitni, Sav, and Angela.
00:59:18.297 --> 00:59:24.957
KRISTEN: And we were terrified because, if you remember from our pre-trip interview, we don't do drops.
00:59:25.257 --> 00:59:27.817
KRISTEN: We will not take our car.
00:59:27.917 --> 00:59:28.997
KRISTEN: So we were terrified.
00:59:29.017 --> 00:59:34.097
KRISTEN: And this poor man was sitting in a row with Whitni, Ginger, and I.
00:59:34.117 --> 00:59:36.117
KRISTEN: And the two of us are like holding hands.
00:59:36.117 --> 00:59:39.917
KRISTEN: And we're like all tense waiting for this drop.
00:59:39.937 --> 00:59:41.837
KRISTEN: And Whitni's like, I'll tell you when it's coming.
00:59:41.857 --> 00:59:42.417
KRISTEN: I promise.
00:59:42.437 --> 00:59:43.997
KRISTEN: So we just like keep looking at each other.
00:59:44.017 --> 00:59:44.757
KRISTEN: No, it's not it.
00:59:44.777 --> 00:59:45.437
KRISTEN: This isn't it.
00:59:46.037 --> 00:59:50.037
KRISTEN: So finally we pull in and we're about to do it.
00:59:50.037 --> 00:59:51.297
KRISTEN: And it happens.
00:59:52.397 --> 00:59:53.357
KRISTEN: And I was like, that?
00:59:53.437 --> 00:59:53.997
KRISTEN: Are you kidding me?
00:59:54.017 --> 00:59:55.257
VIRGINIA: Yeah, it's a tiny drop.
00:59:55.697 --> 00:59:56.317
KRISTEN: That was it.
00:59:56.317 --> 00:59:59.777
KRISTEN: Like I've been putting this off for years.
00:59:59.897 --> 01:00:03.757
GINGER: But we rode Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway before we met up for Rise.
01:00:04.217 --> 01:00:04.597
KRISTEN: Yep.
01:00:05.297 --> 01:00:08.417
KRISTEN: And then when did we do Slinky Dog, you and I, in the front row?
01:00:08.437 --> 01:00:10.297
GINGER: Right before Fantasmic.
01:00:11.297 --> 01:00:12.957
KRISTEN: So they must have gone and done.
01:00:12.977 --> 01:00:16.457
WHITNI: Oh, Savannah and I rode Tower of Terror.
01:00:17.137 --> 01:00:17.477
VIRGINIA: Okay.
01:00:17.497 --> 01:00:18.597
VIRGINIA: So that's when that happened.
01:00:18.617 --> 01:00:19.337
KRISTEN: Slinky Dog.
01:00:20.197 --> 01:00:24.837
WHITNI: So Savannah was late to Fantasmic and you gave her tickets to some Maddie or something.
01:00:25.257 --> 01:00:26.217
KRISTEN: Cast member Maddie.
01:00:26.237 --> 01:00:30.017
KRISTEN: We're going in, someone's meeting, here's her ticket, let her know.
01:00:31.877 --> 01:00:33.637
VIRGINIA: She's coming straight from a rave.
01:00:33.657 --> 01:00:34.337
VIRGINIA: She'll be here soon.
01:00:34.637 --> 01:00:34.837
GINGER: Yeah.
01:00:34.857 --> 01:00:35.497
GINGER: You won't miss her.
01:00:35.517 --> 01:00:35.797
GINGER: We did.
01:00:35.817 --> 01:00:36.977
GINGER: We were like, it's a beat in top.
01:00:36.997 --> 01:00:37.797
GINGER: You're not going to miss her.
01:00:37.817 --> 01:00:41.557
GINGER: But we did Slinky Dog and that was your first time riding row one, right?
01:00:41.577 --> 01:00:43.277
GINGER: I was like, Kristen, let's wait for row one.
01:00:43.297 --> 01:00:44.077
KRISTEN: And in the dark.
01:00:44.817 --> 01:00:47.217
GINGER: Riding it at night is just a totally different experience.
01:00:48.177 --> 01:00:49.157
KRISTEN: It's awesome.
01:00:50.297 --> 01:00:52.837
KRISTEN: And then he watched Phantasmac.
01:00:52.857 --> 01:01:01.937
KRISTEN: Whitni and Angela did some park clothes pictures and we watched Phantasmac and then.
01:01:02.037 --> 01:01:03.297
GINGER: Whitni, didn't you exercise?
01:01:03.317 --> 01:01:05.217
GINGER: Didn't you run across the whole park or something?
01:01:05.237 --> 01:01:06.137
WHITNI: We did.
01:01:06.157 --> 01:01:21.517
WHITNI: So we laid down on the ground on Sunset Boulevard and took some pictures next to some chewed up chicken nuggets and then we got up and I was like, oh, we can go ride Slinky Dog.
01:01:21.537 --> 01:01:22.917
WHITNI: We have a DAS.
01:01:23.537 --> 01:01:29.617
WHITNI: And so we ran all the way from Tower of Terror to Slinky Dog and we made it.
01:01:30.637 --> 01:01:31.997
WHITNI: But I don't run.
01:01:32.137 --> 01:01:34.217
WHITNI: Like I don't exercise very much, clearly.
01:01:34.237 --> 01:01:38.797
WHITNI: My peloton is covered in dust and I was tired.
01:01:38.817 --> 01:01:43.817
WHITNI: So we filmed the reel in line about not doing cardio.
01:01:44.857 --> 01:01:46.037
WHITNI: But of course, it was so fun.
01:01:46.057 --> 01:01:47.677
WHITNI: I love riding Slinky Dog at night.
01:01:47.717 --> 01:01:48.457
WHITNI: It's the best.
01:01:49.077 --> 01:01:50.797
VIRGINIA: What row were you on?
01:01:50.837 --> 01:01:51.637
VIRGINIA: They were in the front.
01:01:51.657 --> 01:01:53.177
VIRGINIA: Were you also in the front or?
01:01:53.297 --> 01:01:56.177
WHITNI: No, we were towards the back, probably like middle back.
01:01:57.117 --> 01:01:57.917
VIRGINIA: All right.
01:01:58.057 --> 01:02:00.477
VIRGINIA: The back row, the literal back row is my favorite.
01:02:00.837 --> 01:02:01.277
WHITNI: Yes.
01:02:01.297 --> 01:02:01.617
WHITNI: Agreed.
01:02:04.797 --> 01:02:11.257
KRISTEN: We split up again, Sav and Whitni drove back in Whitni's car and I believe they stopped at McDonald's.
01:02:11.277 --> 01:02:12.417
KRISTEN: And me.
01:02:12.997 --> 01:02:14.117
WHITNI: Angelica was there too.
01:02:14.137 --> 01:02:17.877
KRISTEN: Because Anj met up with them, I forgot, in Road Tower Terror, right?
01:02:17.897 --> 01:02:19.117
KRISTEN: Or just the pictures after?
01:02:19.837 --> 01:02:20.357
WHITNI: Pictures.
01:02:20.537 --> 01:02:21.277
KRISTEN: Yeah.
01:02:21.297 --> 01:02:24.237
ANJ: I was at Hollywood Studio at this point, at the same time as them.
01:02:24.257 --> 01:02:29.357
ANJ: However, I was with my friend Michael, who is a cast member at the Grand Soda, and he's the best one ever.
01:02:30.417 --> 01:02:31.677
ANJ: And I was spending some time with him.
01:02:31.937 --> 01:02:32.297
KRISTEN: Yes.
01:02:32.297 --> 01:02:37.037
ANJ: And I could take a picture at one point, but we were kind of doing our own thing up until the end.
01:02:37.117 --> 01:02:42.697
GINGER: And I had told Kristen, I was like, because I'm totally fine being by myself, I was like, Kristen, because we were tired, it was late.
01:02:42.717 --> 01:02:48.797
GINGER: I was like, if you want to ride back with Whitni and Sav and Anj, like the car is here, like, if you want to go with them, I'm fine.
01:02:48.817 --> 01:02:52.337
GINGER: Because I was going to have to ride the Skyliner back to Epcot because my car was at Epcot.
01:02:52.357 --> 01:02:54.857
GINGER: So I was like, Kristen, it's okay, you can go with them.
01:02:55.177 --> 01:02:56.557
GINGER: And Sav's like, I'm going with them.
01:02:56.577 --> 01:02:57.297
GINGER: And I was like, okay.
01:02:57.317 --> 01:02:58.737
GINGER: Kristen's like, no, I'll stay with you.
01:02:58.757 --> 01:03:00.357
GINGER: And I was like, oh, okay.
01:03:00.377 --> 01:03:00.637
KRISTEN: Yeah.
01:03:00.657 --> 01:03:04.217
KRISTEN: So we got on the Skyliner at probably, what, 950.
01:03:04.757 --> 01:03:05.317
GINGER: It was late.
01:03:05.317 --> 01:03:05.897
GINGER: It was late.
01:03:06.537 --> 01:03:07.617
KRISTEN: After Fantasmic.
01:03:07.637 --> 01:03:13.777
KRISTEN: And we got on, well, before we got on, we said to the cast member, we were like, oh, we're parked at Epcot.
01:03:15.157 --> 01:03:17.897
KRISTEN: So we have to, are we going to be able to get in there?
01:03:17.917 --> 01:03:21.357
KRISTEN: Yeah, you're just going to have to walk through the empty park to get to your car.
01:03:21.377 --> 01:03:21.737
KRISTEN: And we're like...
01:03:21.757 --> 01:03:22.677
GINGER: They were kind of like warning.
01:03:22.697 --> 01:03:25.077
GINGER: They were like, you're going to have to walk all the way to the front.
01:03:26.197 --> 01:03:27.837
GINGER: And we're like, yeah, yeah, we know.
01:03:27.857 --> 01:03:29.597
VIRGINIA: What time did Epcot close that night?
01:03:29.977 --> 01:03:30.457
GINGER: Nine.
01:03:30.497 --> 01:03:30.917
KRISTEN: Nine.
01:03:31.377 --> 01:03:33.097
VIRGINIA: So did they let you through?
01:03:33.337 --> 01:03:35.157
GINGER: So we're at the roundabout, like where you...
01:03:35.217 --> 01:03:36.217
KRISTEN: At the Riviera.
01:03:36.437 --> 01:03:37.337
GINGER: Where you don't get off.
01:03:37.557 --> 01:03:42.317
GINGER: And Duff, another cast member, he was like, y'all are going to Epcot?
01:03:42.337 --> 01:03:44.397
GINGER: He's like, you're not going to be able to get to your car.
01:03:44.417 --> 01:03:45.637
GINGER: He's like, you can't get through there.
01:03:45.657 --> 01:03:46.437
GINGER: The park is closed.
01:03:46.457 --> 01:03:47.617
GINGER: You're going to have to get on a bus.
01:03:47.637 --> 01:03:51.457
GINGER: And he was very adamant that we weren't going to get through.
01:03:51.477 --> 01:03:54.197
GINGER: And we were like, okay, well, the girl told us that we would.
01:03:54.657 --> 01:04:00.737
GINGER: So we get to Epcot, and I'm like, Kristen, let me talk to them, okay?
01:04:00.757 --> 01:04:03.497
KRISTEN: She literally said, just don't talk, just don't say anything.
01:04:05.117 --> 01:04:05.957
GINGER: So we walk up.
01:04:05.977 --> 01:04:10.537
GINGER: It's a sweet security guard named Bob, and I'm big on names.
01:04:10.557 --> 01:04:15.797
GINGER: My mom said you always, and my mom recently passed away, but my mom said you always address people by their first name.
01:04:15.817 --> 01:04:18.997
GINGER: No one's like, hey, you, or hey, this, you know, you always address.
01:04:19.017 --> 01:04:22.337
GINGER: So even my kids like laugh at me when I'm at Disney, I always call people.
01:04:22.357 --> 01:04:26.217
GINGER: That's why I remember every single cast member that I talked to, like when we've been talking about it.
01:04:26.237 --> 01:04:29.057
GINGER: So we walk up and it's Bob, and I'm like, Kristen, don't say anything.
01:04:29.337 --> 01:04:30.457
GINGER: Just stand there and be cute.
01:04:30.817 --> 01:04:32.997
GINGER: And so I'm like, Bob, here's the deal.
01:04:33.157 --> 01:04:38.697
GINGER: I was like, Duff over at the Riviera said that we're not going to be able to get through and we are tired.
01:04:38.717 --> 01:04:42.117
GINGER: And, you know, I'm talking to him and he said, does Duff work in security?
01:04:42.437 --> 01:04:45.237
GINGER: He said, does Duff stand here and work at my station?
01:04:45.257 --> 01:04:46.457
GINGER: He said, absolutely.
01:04:46.477 --> 01:04:48.477
GINGER: He's like, I would love to do anything for a pretty lady.
01:04:48.737 --> 01:04:49.817
GINGER: And he let us in right away.
01:04:49.817 --> 01:04:51.917
VIRGINIA: So no, nice.
01:04:52.237 --> 01:04:53.937
VIRGINIA: Well, that saved you a lot of time.
01:04:54.257 --> 01:04:56.397
KRISTEN: And it was awesome because Epcot was empty.
01:04:56.497 --> 01:05:00.637
KRISTEN: So we got to stop and take like a bunch of pictures with nobody around.
01:05:00.657 --> 01:05:03.077
KRISTEN: We stopped and took pictures in front of some of the topiaries.
01:05:03.997 --> 01:05:08.897
KRISTEN: And then right before we left, we did a couple of cute pictures in front of Spaceship Earth.
01:05:08.917 --> 01:05:10.197
KRISTEN: We're sitting on the ground.
01:05:10.497 --> 01:05:12.257
GINGER: I posted one today.
01:05:12.497 --> 01:05:14.257
KRISTEN: Yeah, those I saw that.
01:05:14.257 --> 01:05:15.437
WHITNI: So cute.
01:05:15.717 --> 01:05:16.037
GINGER: Yeah.
01:05:16.897 --> 01:05:19.217
GINGER: And then that was the night that we all stayed up like talking.
01:05:19.237 --> 01:05:21.317
GINGER: That was our last night all together.
01:05:22.117 --> 01:05:30.697
GINGER: One of my favorite parts of if I could change anything about the trip, like I wish Anj would have been with us more because I loved like my night.
01:05:30.717 --> 01:05:33.337
GINGER: I loved like my time with Kristen on the Skyliner.
01:05:33.357 --> 01:05:38.117
GINGER: I was making people total strangers in the Skyliner share their poop and their whoop of the night.
01:05:38.117 --> 01:05:41.937
GINGER: Kristen remember when I was like, okay, like everyone, we're going to share our favorite, you know, part of the day.
01:05:41.957 --> 01:05:44.717
GINGER: And these people were like participating because I used to be a teacher too.
01:05:44.737 --> 01:05:46.377
GINGER: So it's like, you know, we're going to share.
01:05:47.257 --> 01:05:52.117
GINGER: But I loved like my nighttime laughs with Anj and like Kristen and I got to spend a lot of time.
01:05:52.157 --> 01:06:00.637
GINGER: Whitni and I were so similar Sav, like she was kind of just like the young, like, she's kind of like the free spirit California girl.
01:06:03.257 --> 01:06:04.857
GINGER: Just really bouncing all over the place.
01:06:04.877 --> 01:06:06.937
GINGER: And so everyone brought something.
01:06:06.957 --> 01:06:10.957
GINGER: It's just so funny to me because we're all so similar, but also very different.
01:06:11.837 --> 01:06:22.177
GINGER: And I think it's very rare today, especially as adults, to find people that you truly enjoy being around and to go from being strangers.
01:06:22.457 --> 01:06:29.317
GINGER: Even one of my friends was like, you know, maybe y'all should have had your own place to kind of have a alone time at night because what if you didn't like each other?
01:06:29.337 --> 01:06:30.917
GINGER: But it worked out so well.
01:06:30.937 --> 01:06:39.717
GINGER: Like Anj and I, we were all strangers, but like Anj and I were jacking up in the bed at night and we had some of the best conversations, like the best laughs with each girl.
01:06:39.737 --> 01:06:44.017
GINGER: I have like a favorite memory and so it was very sweet.
01:06:44.037 --> 01:06:58.677
ANJ: I feel like me and Ginger also like to have very similar humor and like I am, I'm probably like a little bit more quiet than people think I would be in some sense because I feel like I might come across as like loud, but that's like not really my personality.
01:06:58.697 --> 01:07:01.257
ANJ: Like I feel like I'm a listener.
01:07:01.637 --> 01:07:06.277
ANJ: So it was always like really fun to like get to know everybody like individually and have that time.
01:07:06.757 --> 01:07:08.137
GINGER: But that's what I love about Disney.
01:07:08.137 --> 01:07:09.577
GINGER: I feel like that's what Disney does.
01:07:09.597 --> 01:07:11.437
GINGER: Like they bring everybody together.
01:07:11.457 --> 01:07:12.817
GINGER: Like we're all from different states.
01:07:12.837 --> 01:07:18.277
GINGER: We're all totally different people, but we have that one common interest and that one common interest brought us together.
01:07:18.297 --> 01:07:20.437
GINGER: And I think we'll be friends for life.
01:07:20.457 --> 01:07:22.057
GINGER: So that's agreed.
01:07:22.077 --> 01:07:25.977
GINGER: I think that's like what I love about Disney because it's it brings people together.
01:07:27.117 --> 01:07:30.257
VIRGINIA: Well, let's just briefly talk about this last day.
01:07:30.277 --> 01:07:33.777
VIRGINIA: So Sunday, May the 19th, you all did different parks, right?
01:07:35.037 --> 01:07:37.877
WHITNI: Savannah and I did Animal Kingdom.
01:07:37.897 --> 01:07:42.897
WHITNI: We met up with Angela, who was with us on Saturday night at Hollywood Studios.
01:07:43.657 --> 01:07:47.137
WHITNI: And I stayed way too long.
01:07:47.197 --> 01:07:52.477
WHITNI: I was supposed to drive home much earlier than I did, but I have no regrets.
01:07:52.657 --> 01:07:57.137
WHITNI: We ate at Nomad Lounge, took a lot of photos, went to Rafiki's Planet Watch.
01:07:57.457 --> 01:08:07.317
WHITNI: Savannah and I were both dressed as Pooh, and a cast member had told us that Pooh was going to be meeting at Rafiki's Planet Watch, so we needed to head over there.
01:08:07.337 --> 01:08:08.317
WHITNI: So we rode the train.
01:08:08.657 --> 01:08:13.417
WHITNI: That's honestly something I had never done before, so it was really cool to go over there and see it.
01:08:13.777 --> 01:08:19.057
WHITNI: Animal Kingdom is probably one of the parks that I'm the least explored, if that makes sense.
01:08:19.077 --> 01:08:21.977
WHITNI: I kind of just do my key things and then go to another park.
01:08:22.797 --> 01:08:31.357
WHITNI: So it's fun to spend a whole half day there with them and see it through Savannah's eyes, who doesn't get to go there all the time, because that's one of her favorite parks at Walt Disney World.
01:08:32.557 --> 01:08:34.577
VIRGINIA: And Ginger, were you at Disney Springs?
01:08:34.697 --> 01:08:35.877
GINGER: No, I went to...
01:08:36.617 --> 01:08:37.337
GINGER: I slept in.
01:08:38.677 --> 01:08:40.337
GINGER: I met up with Kristen at Magic Kingdom.
01:08:41.277 --> 01:08:42.737
VIRGINIA: And what did you all do at Magic Kingdom?
01:08:42.757 --> 01:08:44.897
VIRGINIA: Just very briefly, because we were running out of time.
01:08:45.317 --> 01:08:48.057
GINGER: I got individual lightning lame for Tron.
01:08:48.077 --> 01:08:50.697
GINGER: I did Carousel of Progress, and then I met up with Kristen.
01:08:51.137 --> 01:08:51.457
VIRGINIA: Okay.
01:08:51.477 --> 01:08:51.677
KRISTEN: Yeah.
01:08:51.737 --> 01:08:56.897
KRISTEN: I actually went to Animal Kingdom with Whitni and Sav and got the bus to Magic Kingdom.
01:08:58.177 --> 01:08:59.997
KRISTEN: And I got coffee on Main Street.
01:09:00.017 --> 01:09:03.737
KRISTEN: That was like a thing I wanted to do, get a Starbucks, walk up Main Street.
01:09:03.777 --> 01:09:12.697
KRISTEN: I met the Cinderella stepsisters and had a great conversation with them and then met up with Ginger.
01:09:12.717 --> 01:09:14.537
KRISTEN: We did the People Mover together.
01:09:14.557 --> 01:09:17.997
KRISTEN: And then what?
01:09:18.017 --> 01:09:20.157
KRISTEN: Oh, I got more cheeseburger spring roll.
01:09:20.497 --> 01:09:22.157
GINGER: We watched the Dapper Dans.
01:09:22.177 --> 01:09:22.577
VIRGINIA: We did.
01:09:22.617 --> 01:09:26.617
KRISTEN: And yeah, that was the end of the trip for what was watching the Dapper Dans.
01:09:26.637 --> 01:09:30.997
KRISTEN: They sang Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow, which is my youngest bedtime song.
01:09:31.017 --> 01:09:33.817
KRISTEN: So that was like a great way to end the trip.
01:09:33.837 --> 01:09:42.557
GINGER: We took a picture with them and then Kristen got her stuff out of my car and left and I went to Disney Springs and Anj on our pre trip report.
01:09:43.537 --> 01:09:47.177
VIRGINIA: These ladies, because you left the pre trip report a little bit early.
01:09:47.197 --> 01:09:52.037
VIRGINIA: They all told me that you don't like goodbyes and that you tend to sneak away at the end.
01:09:53.237 --> 01:09:57.397
VIRGINIA: So did you say goodbye to them all or did you do your normal sneak away?
01:09:57.417 --> 01:10:14.077
ANJ: I did say goodbye to everyone, I think, aside from Kristen personally, but I don't like goodbyes and I feel like I am a little sneaky and I just, you know, I was very grateful for my time and meeting everybody.
01:10:14.317 --> 01:10:22.637
ANJ: Like I said, I came home and I told my family I had a really good experience, and it was far better than my first travel agency trip.
01:10:22.717 --> 01:10:29.737
ANJ: And I came home and I felt very good with everything and everyone I met, including my agency and those girls as well.
01:10:31.817 --> 01:10:37.877
ANJ: I felt like it was a really solid time and I missed my family, but like I had so much fun.
01:10:39.197 --> 01:10:41.937
VIRGINIA: Well, I had so much fun talking to all of you about this.
01:10:41.937 --> 01:10:47.577
VIRGINIA: I'm sorry that Sav didn't make it here for the Post Trip Report, but I know she was here in spirit.
01:10:48.357 --> 01:10:52.237
VIRGINIA: And I thank you all for sharing your time and sharing your trip with me.
01:10:52.557 --> 01:10:57.197
VIRGINIA: And I hope that everyone who's listening will make sure you're following all of these ladies.
01:10:57.817 --> 01:11:07.177
VIRGINIA: And I hope that all of you will know that you are welcome to come back and talk to me about any trips you have in the future because you all are just a special group.
01:11:07.197 --> 01:11:08.237
VIRGINIA: I love this Fab Five.
01:11:09.497 --> 01:11:11.437
WHITNI: Thank you so much for having us.
01:11:13.237 --> 01:11:19.957
VIRGINIA: Thank you so much to all of these ladies for sharing their adventure with me and with all the listeners out there.
01:11:20.337 --> 01:11:25.437
VIRGINIA: I had a lot of fun following along on Instagram and even more fun getting to sit down and connect with you all.
01:11:25.917 --> 01:11:30.377
VIRGINIA: I hope that you will consider this my official invitation to have you all back again in the future.
01:11:30.977 --> 01:11:34.957
VIRGINIA: And with that, now it's time to say goodbye to all our company.
01:11:35.817 --> 01:11:38.157
VIRGINIA: Keep daydreaming about where you long to be.
