VIRGINIA: And now, without further ado, coming to you from Canada, here's Jenn.

00:01:08.148 --> 00:01:10.068
VIRGINIA: Welcome back to the podcast, Jenn.

00:01:10.068 --> 00:01:12.848
JENN: Thank you so much for having me back.

00:01:12.848 --> 00:01:15.368
VIRGINIA: When was it that we spoke last?

00:01:15.368 --> 00:01:17.168
VIRGINIA: I can't even remember.

00:01:17.168 --> 00:01:22.388
JENN: We spoke in March before and after our March break trip.

00:01:22.388 --> 00:01:30.328
VIRGINIA: Yes, and you had an amazing trip that involved, was it Universal and Disney and a cruise?

00:01:30.328 --> 00:01:34.808
JENN: Just it was supposed to involve Universal, but just Disney and the cruise.

00:01:35.228 --> 00:01:36.348
VIRGINIA: Yes, your plans changed.

00:01:36.348 --> 00:01:38.608
VIRGINIA: You spent a little bit more time at Disney.

00:01:38.608 --> 00:01:39.408
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:01:39.408 --> 00:01:43.408
VIRGINIA: We were just talking about you being the queen of plan changes.

00:01:45.108 --> 00:01:56.548
VIRGINIA: When we spoke then, we had talked about getting together for this trip, and you have had some changes already since way back then, which makes sense because it has been a while.

00:01:57.788 --> 00:02:00.748
VIRGINIA: Let's just go through all of your plans.

00:02:00.748 --> 00:02:03.568
VIRGINIA: The first question I always have is who's going to be traveling with you?

00:02:03.888 --> 00:02:07.048
JENN: Just Joe and I, just me and the hubby, couple's trip.

00:02:07.048 --> 00:02:11.668
VIRGINIA: Will the boys be in school while you are on this magical adventure?

00:02:11.668 --> 00:02:12.108
JENN: Yes.

00:02:12.108 --> 00:02:16.068
JENN: We will take them again next March break, but this one's just Joe and I.

00:02:16.068 --> 00:02:16.948
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:02:16.948 --> 00:02:18.828
VIRGINIA: That will be so much fun.

00:02:18.828 --> 00:02:20.748
VIRGINIA: Where are you going to stay this time?

00:02:22.708 --> 00:02:29.068
JENN: We were supposed to do a land and sea, so we were supposed to do Halloween on the high seas.

00:02:29.068 --> 00:02:30.728
JENN: We ended up canceling our cruise.

00:02:31.628 --> 00:02:34.628
JENN: So we have a very random three nights.

00:02:35.168 --> 00:02:45.128
JENN: We're checking in for two nights at the Polynesian, then we're doing one night at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and then we're doing seven nights at Saratoga.

00:02:45.128 --> 00:02:46.168
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:02:46.168 --> 00:02:47.448
VIRGINIA: Very random.

00:02:47.448 --> 00:02:47.828
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:02:47.828 --> 00:02:50.928
VIRGINIA: I mean, that's what happens sometimes when you're doing DVC trips.

00:02:50.928 --> 00:02:52.228
VIRGINIA: You're like, what can I get?

00:02:52.228 --> 00:03:03.668
VIRGINIA: But this sounds ideal to me in terms of how you structured it, because I would always rather have the bigger chunk of time at whatever the last resort is.

00:03:03.668 --> 00:03:05.068
VIRGINIA: I agree.

00:03:05.068 --> 00:03:05.488
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:03:05.488 --> 00:03:09.288
VIRGINIA: I don't like to pack up and move just for one night somewhere else.

00:03:09.288 --> 00:03:12.308
VIRGINIA: I'd rather do the packing up and moving at the beginning part.

00:03:12.308 --> 00:03:12.768
JENN: I agree.

00:03:12.768 --> 00:03:13.788
JENN: This was not ideal.

00:03:13.788 --> 00:03:17.088
JENN: It's the one thing I promised Joe this trip we wouldn't do.

00:03:17.088 --> 00:03:20.088
JENN: Let's have a split stay and well.

00:03:20.088 --> 00:03:21.848
VIRGINIA: Here we are.

00:03:21.848 --> 00:03:22.548
JENN: Yeah.

00:03:22.548 --> 00:03:27.888
VIRGINIA: Is there anything that you like about a split stay, or is it just always out of necessity?

00:03:27.888 --> 00:03:32.268
JENN: It just always happens to be a change of plans.

00:03:32.268 --> 00:03:33.348
JENN: So, yeah.

00:03:33.348 --> 00:03:34.088
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:03:34.088 --> 00:03:34.408
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:03:34.408 --> 00:03:38.448
VIRGINIA: I used to think of it as, oh, you get to restart your trip a couple of times.

00:03:38.448 --> 00:03:39.408
JENN: That's true.

00:03:39.408 --> 00:03:46.468
VIRGINIA: I don't know if it's age or experience, but I'm like, not nearly as much fun as it used to be.

00:03:46.468 --> 00:03:50.068
JENN: But I'm actually looking forward to the one night at Animal Kingdom.

00:03:50.068 --> 00:03:56.408
JENN: I don't think that I would do an extended stay there just because it's a little off the beaten path.

00:03:56.408 --> 00:04:06.248
JENN: So to have the one night Savanna View, I'm really looking forward to that one night at Animal Kingdom.

00:04:06.248 --> 00:04:09.388
VIRGINIA: What type of room are you in at each of the resorts?

00:04:09.388 --> 00:04:15.928
VIRGINIA: In Polynesian, you're in a studio, because that's all they have there except for bungalows, unless you want to surprise me and tell me you're in a bungalow.

00:04:15.928 --> 00:04:17.148
JENN: I wish.

00:04:18.348 --> 00:04:24.788
JENN: No, we are in a studio, Animal Kingdom, where we're doing the Savannah View.

00:04:24.788 --> 00:04:29.428
JENN: And then at Saratoga, we're just in a studio, preferred.

00:04:29.428 --> 00:04:30.288
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:04:30.388 --> 00:04:39.788
VIRGINIA: For your preferred studio, are you requesting to be on basically the pathway to Disney Springs, the closest to that, or the closest to the main building?

00:04:39.788 --> 00:04:41.428
JENN: Closest to the main building.

00:04:41.428 --> 00:04:41.768
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:04:41.768 --> 00:04:42.148
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:04:42.148 --> 00:04:43.688
JENN: I don't know if that was the right choice or not.

00:04:43.688 --> 00:04:45.048
JENN: I'll let you know.

00:04:45.048 --> 00:04:51.928
VIRGINIA: I mean, it really just depends on how much time you think you might want to spend at Disney Springs.

00:04:51.928 --> 00:04:56.908
VIRGINIA: Because if you're going to spend a lot of time there, it is very convenient to just be able to walk over.

00:04:56.908 --> 00:05:03.068
VIRGINIA: But if you're not going to spend a lot of time there, it's kind of a hike to get to the main building from there.

00:05:03.068 --> 00:05:07.908
VIRGINIA: I mean, it's doable, but it's just like, it's kind of a long way to go for your morning coffee.

00:05:07.908 --> 00:05:08.668
JENN: Exactly.

00:05:08.668 --> 00:05:09.748
JENN: And we can take the boat.

00:05:09.748 --> 00:05:11.328
JENN: We also have our vehicles.

00:05:11.328 --> 00:05:12.348
JENN: So.

00:05:14.308 --> 00:05:19.608
VIRGINIA: So are any of these resorts new to you or have you done them all?

00:05:19.608 --> 00:05:22.028
JENN: We've only done the Polynesian.

00:05:22.028 --> 00:05:26.088
JENN: So Animal Kingdom Lodge and Saratoga are new for us.

00:05:26.088 --> 00:05:27.308
VIRGINIA: That will be very exciting.

00:05:27.308 --> 00:05:28.688
VIRGINIA: And you said you'll have your own car.

00:05:28.688 --> 00:05:34.368
VIRGINIA: So does that mean that you are driving down from Canada or will you be renting a car?

00:05:34.368 --> 00:05:37.088
JENN: We are road tripping with our own vehicle.

00:05:37.088 --> 00:05:38.528
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:05:38.528 --> 00:05:39.608
VIRGINIA: And you've done that before.

00:05:39.908 --> 00:05:42.968
VIRGINIA: So you are experienced in that journey.

00:05:42.968 --> 00:05:43.228
JENN: Yep.

00:05:43.268 --> 00:05:46.628
JENN: We drive down every time.

00:05:46.628 --> 00:05:52.408
VIRGINIA: You're leaving Canada on October the 11th, or are you arriving at Disney on the 11th?

00:05:52.408 --> 00:05:53.948
JENN: We're arriving on the 11th.

00:05:53.948 --> 00:05:55.188
JENN: We're leaving on the 10th.

00:05:55.188 --> 00:05:55.528
JENN: Yeah.

00:05:55.528 --> 00:05:56.468
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:05:56.468 --> 00:05:59.028
VIRGINIA: What time are you aiming to get there?

00:05:59.028 --> 00:06:03.588
JENN: We will probably be there around 12, around noon.

00:06:03.588 --> 00:06:05.928
VIRGINIA: What kind of tickets do the two of you have?

00:06:05.928 --> 00:06:07.968
VIRGINIA: I think, do you have an annual pass?

00:06:07.968 --> 00:06:09.088
VIRGINIA: Am I remembering correctly?

00:06:09.348 --> 00:06:09.708
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:06:09.708 --> 00:06:10.328
VIRGINIA: You both do.

00:06:10.328 --> 00:06:11.708
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:06:11.708 --> 00:06:14.268
VIRGINIA: You're good to go on your tickets.

00:06:14.268 --> 00:06:20.088
VIRGINIA: Are you planning on doing any multi-pass individual Lightning Lane action this time?

00:06:20.088 --> 00:06:21.148
JENN: Probably not.

00:06:21.148 --> 00:06:30.308
JENN: I think we're going to take advantage of extended hours at Epcot, and probably Magic Kingdom as well.

00:06:30.868 --> 00:06:33.388
JENN: We have the Halloween Party.

00:06:34.048 --> 00:06:35.108
VIRGINIA: Fantastic.

00:06:35.108 --> 00:06:36.588
JENN: I think we'll be able to avoid it.

00:06:36.588 --> 00:06:40.488
JENN: We're not against it, but I just don't think we'll need to.

00:06:40.488 --> 00:06:41.348
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:06:41.348 --> 00:06:46.948
VIRGINIA: Now, you were originally planning to do Halloween on the high seas, and now you're telling me that you have tickets to the Halloween Party.

00:06:46.948 --> 00:06:50.188
VIRGINIA: So are you a big Halloween couple?

00:06:50.188 --> 00:06:53.388
JENN: So I'm like a family-friendly Halloween girlie.

00:06:53.388 --> 00:07:02.288
JENN: Joe is like a full-on Halloween Horror Nights, which we were going to do, but I honestly think that I'm too much of a chicken to do it.

00:07:02.288 --> 00:07:03.188
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:07:04.668 --> 00:07:08.608
VIRGINIA: When you are going to this party, do you have plans for any costumes?

00:07:08.608 --> 00:07:09.148
JENN: We are.

00:07:09.148 --> 00:07:12.668
JENN: We are bounding as Donald and Daisy.

00:07:12.668 --> 00:07:14.028
VIRGINIA: Oh, that's fun.

00:07:14.028 --> 00:07:14.968
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:07:14.968 --> 00:07:15.728
JENN: Yeah.

00:07:15.728 --> 00:07:22.748
VIRGINIA: And hopefully it will not be quite as hot during the middle of October as it has been for some of these other parties.

00:07:22.748 --> 00:07:23.528
JENN: I'm hoping.

00:07:23.528 --> 00:07:26.768
JENN: I mean, it sounds like they're getting a lot of rain right now.

00:07:26.768 --> 00:07:29.028
JENN: So it might be a washout.

00:07:29.068 --> 00:07:30.028
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:07:30.028 --> 00:07:30.548
JENN: Yeah.

00:07:30.608 --> 00:07:31.188
VIRGINIA: Who knows?

00:07:31.188 --> 00:07:40.388
VIRGINIA: I was actually, I think it was on the episode that just went live today, which was Sav and Piff's birthday celebration for Piff's birthday.

00:07:40.388 --> 00:07:44.188
VIRGINIA: They went to the Halloween party and they had some rain during their party.

00:07:44.188 --> 00:07:59.848
VIRGINIA: And they said that when they had the rain, they noticed that people who were going up kind of early to guest relations were getting a rain check to come back another day, as long as you did it early in the night and didn't like, enjoy too much of the party.

00:08:00.408 --> 00:08:01.068
VIRGINIA: Right.

00:08:01.068 --> 00:08:09.008
VIRGINIA: So something to think about if that happens to you, because you in theory have enough time that there might be another party that you could go to.

00:08:09.008 --> 00:08:09.308
JENN: Yeah.

00:08:10.868 --> 00:08:15.168
JENN: We did that, I think, for the Christmas party last year.

00:08:15.168 --> 00:08:21.648
JENN: The first time, the first party was a total washout and we ended up moving our date.

00:08:21.648 --> 00:08:23.968
JENN: So it's possible.

00:08:23.968 --> 00:08:24.508
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:08:24.548 --> 00:08:25.808
VIRGINIA: Just ask nicely.

00:08:25.808 --> 00:08:28.348
VIRGINIA: Exactly.

00:08:28.348 --> 00:08:31.368
VIRGINIA: What are going to be the priorities for this trip?

00:08:31.368 --> 00:08:34.908
VIRGINIA: Are you trying to have a relaxing couple trip?

00:08:34.908 --> 00:08:38.128
VIRGINIA: Are you trying to get your steps in?

00:08:38.388 --> 00:08:39.888
VIRGINIA: What is your plan?

00:08:39.888 --> 00:08:50.848
JENN: The plan is always to start out with the relaxing vibes, but I feel like inevitably we're going to Disney and the steps will be stepped.

00:08:50.848 --> 00:08:52.988
VIRGINIA: The steps will be stepped, the vibes will be vibing.

00:08:54.028 --> 00:08:55.908
VIRGINIA: It will be Disney, yes.

00:08:55.928 --> 00:08:57.168
JENN: Exactly.

00:08:57.168 --> 00:09:02.228
JENN: I'm hoping to find a nice balance between both scenarios.

00:09:02.228 --> 00:09:03.688
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:09:03.688 --> 00:09:04.128
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:09:04.128 --> 00:09:07.088
VIRGINIA: Well, let's talk through these days.

00:09:07.088 --> 00:09:11.908
VIRGINIA: Friday, October the 11th after you arrive, what are your plans for that evening?

00:09:11.908 --> 00:09:12.928
VIRGINIA: Any dining plans?

00:09:12.928 --> 00:09:15.028
VIRGINIA: Are you going to go into any parks the first day?

00:09:15.028 --> 00:09:19.388
JENN: Girl, as soon as I get there, I am throwing on that bathing suit and going to the pool.

00:09:19.388 --> 00:09:20.388
JENN: Watch it be raining.

00:09:22.768 --> 00:09:26.168
JENN: All I want to do is sit by the Oasis Pool at the Polynesian.

00:09:28.068 --> 00:09:28.448
JENN: Yeah.

00:09:28.448 --> 00:09:31.388
JENN: No, I don't think we're going to do dining the first day.

00:09:31.388 --> 00:09:34.168
JENN: We're really, really looking forward to Tamboo Lounge.

00:09:34.168 --> 00:09:36.788
JENN: That's probably one of our favorites.

00:09:36.788 --> 00:09:44.768
JENN: So I think just some R&R, relaxing from the drive, have a swim, go to Tamboo Lounge for dinner, and that's it.

00:09:44.768 --> 00:09:45.388
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:09:45.388 --> 00:09:49.848
VIRGINIA: That sounds like a good first day to me, especially after the drive.

00:09:50.748 --> 00:09:51.108
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:09:51.108 --> 00:09:55.828
VIRGINIA: So Saturday, October 12th, where do you think you will head that day?

00:09:55.828 --> 00:09:58.548
JENN: The Polynesian is both of our favorite resorts.

00:09:58.548 --> 00:10:00.188
JENN: So we got engaged there.

00:10:00.188 --> 00:10:01.768
JENN: We did our honeymoon there.

00:10:01.768 --> 00:10:04.888
JENN: So we're going to try and spend as much time there as possible.

00:10:04.888 --> 00:10:12.368
JENN: So pool is the plan for Saturday, but we do have 1900 Park Fair booked for dinner over at the Grand Floridian.

00:10:12.368 --> 00:10:14.548
VIRGINIA: I have not been there since they made the changes.

00:10:14.548 --> 00:10:16.888
VIRGINIA: Have you been there before?

00:10:17.988 --> 00:10:18.328
VIRGINIA: Never.

00:10:18.508 --> 00:10:19.268
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:10:19.268 --> 00:10:20.268
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:10:20.268 --> 00:10:26.888
VIRGINIA: Well, that will be a good time to go because you'll be very close over at the Polynesian to just walk over to that.

00:10:26.888 --> 00:10:29.468
VIRGINIA: Have you ever stayed at the Grand Floridian before?

00:10:29.468 --> 00:10:29.948
JENN: We did.

00:10:29.948 --> 00:10:34.348
JENN: On our honeymoon, we did a split stay between the Grand Floridian and the Polynesian.

00:10:34.348 --> 00:10:39.668
VIRGINIA: I need to get back over there because I've never been to Citricos and I've never been to Narcosis.

00:10:39.668 --> 00:10:45.748
JENN: We had reservations for both when we were there and we canceled the both because we were just busy.

00:10:45.748 --> 00:10:47.828
VIRGINIA: Well, that's why we keep going back, right?

00:10:47.968 --> 00:10:50.188
VIRGINIA: To chuck more things off of our list.

00:10:50.188 --> 00:10:51.588
JENN: Exactly.

00:10:51.588 --> 00:10:52.048
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:10:52.048 --> 00:10:54.588
VIRGINIA: Sunday, October 13th.

00:10:54.588 --> 00:10:55.748
JENN: Sunday, we're checking out.

00:10:55.748 --> 00:11:06.268
JENN: We're going to do probably like a 10 o'clock checkout, leave our stuff with Bell Services, and we're heading over to Discovery Cove.

00:11:07.108 --> 00:11:07.568
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:11:07.568 --> 00:11:08.988
VIRGINIA: Have you done that before?

00:11:08.988 --> 00:11:10.248
JENN: No.

00:11:10.248 --> 00:11:15.728
VIRGINIA: I haven't either, but I have watched some YouTube creators that have done some reporting from there.

00:11:16.148 --> 00:11:16.308
JENN: Yeah.

00:11:16.568 --> 00:11:18.048
VIRGINIA: And it looks like a lot of fun.

00:11:18.048 --> 00:11:18.948
JENN: It does look fun.

00:11:18.948 --> 00:11:26.908
JENN: I love doing the snorkel thing with Stingrays, and since we did not do our cruise, it just felt like the next best thing.

00:11:26.908 --> 00:11:29.468
VIRGINIA: What are you most looking forward to at Discovery Cove?

00:11:29.468 --> 00:11:34.268
VIRGINIA: Are you going to do any of the experiences there, like swimming with dolphins or anything?

00:11:34.268 --> 00:11:36.828
JENN: So we checked that out, and I don't think we're going to do it.

00:11:36.828 --> 00:11:40.348
JENN: I've done it before, and Joe was like, I don't really care.

00:11:40.348 --> 00:11:53.348
JENN: We really wanted to do the snorkeling, or I don't know if it's snorkeling, but like this shark excursion where you're in the pool or whatever it is with the sharks.

00:11:53.348 --> 00:11:53.668
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:11:53.668 --> 00:11:54.868
JENN: It's so expensive.

00:11:54.868 --> 00:12:02.028
JENN: So we'll see if we do it as a last-minute add-on, but other than that, no.

00:12:02.028 --> 00:12:02.248
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:12:02.248 --> 00:12:03.648
VIRGINIA: What kind of sharks are these?

00:12:03.648 --> 00:12:07.328
JENN: There's like four or five different kinds.

00:12:07.328 --> 00:12:08.008
JENN: I don't remember.

00:12:08.008 --> 00:12:09.968
JENN: I'm looking at Joe.

00:12:10.008 --> 00:12:11.388
JENN: There's like nurse sharks.

00:12:11.388 --> 00:12:12.708
JENN: I know nurse sharks are one.

00:12:12.708 --> 00:12:15.448
JENN: I think there's like a zebra shark.

00:12:15.448 --> 00:12:15.828
JENN: I don't know.

00:12:15.828 --> 00:12:17.688
JENN: Now I'm making things up.

00:12:19.788 --> 00:12:21.028
VIRGINIA: There's a T-Rex shark.

00:12:21.028 --> 00:12:22.588
VIRGINIA: There's a she's just.

00:12:22.588 --> 00:12:25.508
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:12:25.508 --> 00:12:26.928
JENN: There's a couple of different kinds.

00:12:27.148 --> 00:12:31.048
VIRGINIA: I'm sure they're safe, but it does not.

00:12:31.048 --> 00:12:31.548
VIRGINIA: I don't know.

00:12:31.548 --> 00:12:33.228
VIRGINIA: It sounds a little nerve-wracking to me.

00:12:33.228 --> 00:12:34.308
JENN: They're well-fed.

00:12:34.308 --> 00:12:34.888
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:12:34.888 --> 00:12:36.008
JENN: Not by humans.

00:12:36.008 --> 00:12:36.508
JENN: Yeah.

00:12:37.208 --> 00:12:38.308
JENN: I think we're okay.

00:12:38.308 --> 00:12:39.108
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:12:39.108 --> 00:12:45.948
VIRGINIA: When you said not by humans, I imagined otters out there feeding them their food.

00:12:45.988 --> 00:12:48.328
JENN: Sorry, we're not fed humans.

00:12:49.848 --> 00:12:51.248
VIRGINIA: Oh my goodness.

00:12:51.248 --> 00:12:57.708
VIRGINIA: What I do remember from the videos that I've seen of Discovery Cove is that they have a really nice lazy river.

00:12:57.708 --> 00:12:58.268
JENN: Yeah.

00:12:58.348 --> 00:12:59.508
VIRGINIA: That'll be nice.

00:12:59.508 --> 00:13:03.808
JENN: That's one of my favorite things in the whole entire world, is a good lazy river.

00:13:03.908 --> 00:13:05.768
JENN: I'm really excited for that.

00:13:05.768 --> 00:13:09.868
JENN: Although they don't give you tubes, it looks like they just give you the noodles.

00:13:09.988 --> 00:13:10.888
VIRGINIA: Oh, okay.

00:13:10.888 --> 00:13:12.308
JENN: Yeah, we'll see.

00:13:12.308 --> 00:13:13.428
JENN: I'll report back.

00:13:13.428 --> 00:13:17.788
JENN: But yeah, I'm excited for the snorkeling and they have this great reef.

00:13:17.788 --> 00:13:21.388
JENN: It looks like on YouTube, like you said, where there's all these fish and stingray.

00:13:21.968 --> 00:13:23.288
JENN: Yeah, it looks cool.

00:13:23.288 --> 00:13:23.748
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:13:23.748 --> 00:13:26.588
VIRGINIA: Monday, October the 13th.

00:13:27.128 --> 00:13:27.848
VIRGINIA: Oh, sorry.

00:13:27.848 --> 00:13:31.068
VIRGINIA: Monday, October the 14th.

00:13:31.068 --> 00:13:31.608
JENN: Yeah.

00:13:31.608 --> 00:13:37.148
JENN: So at some point on the Sunday, we'll check in the Animal Kingdom Lodge.

00:13:37.148 --> 00:13:41.708
JENN: And then we have Bulma booked for breakfast on the 14th.

00:13:41.708 --> 00:13:43.028
JENN: I'm really excited about Bulma.

00:13:43.028 --> 00:13:45.428
JENN: I've heard really, really amazing things.

00:13:45.428 --> 00:13:46.028
VIRGINIA: Me too.

00:13:46.028 --> 00:13:49.048
JENN: So I hope that I'm not let down.

00:13:49.488 --> 00:13:53.008
VIRGINIA: I hear consistently that it's one of the best breakfasts on property.

00:13:53.008 --> 00:13:53.548
JENN: Yeah.

00:13:53.548 --> 00:13:54.848
JENN: So I'm excited.

00:13:54.848 --> 00:13:58.048
JENN: I feel like I've been a little bit let down by Disney food in the past.

00:13:58.048 --> 00:13:59.908
JENN: So we'll see.

00:13:59.908 --> 00:14:00.628
JENN: We'll see.

00:14:00.628 --> 00:14:01.948
VIRGINIA: Just keep an open mind.

00:14:01.948 --> 00:14:02.688
JENN: Exactly.

00:14:02.688 --> 00:14:05.568
JENN: And then we check into Saratoga Springs that day.

00:14:05.568 --> 00:14:12.508
JENN: And I think we're going to hit Epcot at night and we're going to hang out around the World Showcase.

00:14:12.508 --> 00:14:14.208
JENN: So let's drink around the world.

00:14:14.208 --> 00:14:16.628
JENN: I don't drink, but he will drink around the world for both of us.

00:14:16.628 --> 00:14:17.308
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:14:17.308 --> 00:14:19.528
VIRGINIA: But you can, you could snack around the world.

00:14:19.588 --> 00:14:22.588
JENN: Absolutely.

00:14:22.588 --> 00:14:23.628
VIRGINIA: That's my preference.

00:14:23.628 --> 00:14:30.768
VIRGINIA: I mean, I love a good drink, but I'm also a big fan of eating lots of little snacks instead of sitting down to a meal.

00:14:30.768 --> 00:14:32.508
VIRGINIA: That's fun to me.

00:14:32.508 --> 00:14:36.848
VIRGINIA: So Monday, what nights are the extended hours?

00:14:37.228 --> 00:14:39.988
VIRGINIA: Is Monday an extended hours for Epcot?

00:14:40.048 --> 00:14:40.308
VIRGINIA: Yep.

00:14:40.308 --> 00:14:42.148
JENN: So Monday is extended hours for Epcot.

00:14:42.148 --> 00:14:42.948
JENN: Exactly.

00:14:42.948 --> 00:14:48.068
JENN: So that's why I'm hoping we can get in a couple rides.

00:14:48.068 --> 00:14:50.748
JENN: We're more interested in the food, I think.

00:14:50.748 --> 00:14:54.568
VIRGINIA: Remind me, are you someone who does Guardians of the Galaxy?

00:14:54.568 --> 00:14:56.128
JENN: No, but Joe is.

00:14:56.128 --> 00:14:58.888
JENN: He's exciting half of this relationship.

00:15:01.108 --> 00:15:03.888
VIRGINIA: You're exciting in other ways, Jenn.

00:15:03.888 --> 00:15:07.048
JENN: Sure.

00:15:07.048 --> 00:15:07.748
JENN: Thank you for that.

00:15:09.688 --> 00:15:14.808
JENN: He's like the thrill seeker, ride warrior drinking around the world, dude.

00:15:14.908 --> 00:15:20.048
JENN: I'm the snack in silence type of girl.

00:15:20.048 --> 00:15:20.688
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:15:20.688 --> 00:15:22.108
JENN: Dark rides and that's about it.

00:15:22.108 --> 00:15:24.668
VIRGINIA: I mean, I like the exciting rides, but I can definitely relate.

00:15:24.668 --> 00:15:28.628
VIRGINIA: My husband and I are total opposites when it comes to most things.

00:15:28.628 --> 00:15:32.728
VIRGINIA: I'm the person who needs to be by myself sometimes to recharge.

00:15:32.728 --> 00:15:33.308
VIRGINIA: He does not.

00:15:33.308 --> 00:15:37.928
VIRGINIA: He is such an extrovert, wants to get out like every day he can get out, he wants to get out.

00:15:37.928 --> 00:15:39.408
VIRGINIA: And I'm like, we were just out yesterday.

00:15:39.408 --> 00:15:40.928
VIRGINIA: I don't want to go out today.

00:15:40.928 --> 00:15:41.168
JENN: Right.

00:15:41.168 --> 00:15:42.928
VIRGINIA: So yeah, I get it.

00:15:42.928 --> 00:15:44.048
VIRGINIA: I get it.

00:15:44.048 --> 00:15:45.688
JENN: We'll do like Frozen.

00:15:45.688 --> 00:15:47.548
JENN: You know, hopefully we get in Frozen.

00:15:47.548 --> 00:15:49.468
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:15:49.468 --> 00:15:53.208
VIRGINIA: Tuesday, October the 15th is our Halloween party.

00:15:53.208 --> 00:16:00.608
JENN: So I don't know if we'll hit Magic Kingdom during the day or maybe spend it by the pool.

00:16:00.608 --> 00:16:02.728
JENN: I think it's like four you can get in.

00:16:02.728 --> 00:16:08.368
JENN: So we'll probably head over, grab a quick bite to eat, and then start the Halloween party.

00:16:08.368 --> 00:16:09.148
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:16:09.148 --> 00:16:11.088
JENN: I really hope it doesn't disappoint.

00:16:11.088 --> 00:16:19.068
JENN: We did the Christmas party last year, and while I'm very excited for Halloween, I just don't know that it'll be Christmas for me, but we'll see.

00:16:19.068 --> 00:16:21.648
VIRGINIA: What are you going to be focusing on for this party?

00:16:21.648 --> 00:16:26.888
VIRGINIA: Are you going to be trying to do a lot of character meet and greets that you couldn't do at other times?

00:16:26.888 --> 00:16:27.168
JENN: Yeah.

00:16:27.168 --> 00:16:28.648
JENN: I love the character meet and greets.

00:16:28.648 --> 00:16:34.748
JENN: So that and then fireworks, stage show, the Sanderson Sisters and then the parade.

00:16:34.748 --> 00:16:35.208
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:16:35.208 --> 00:16:37.908
JENN: And of course, the slides if we can.

00:16:37.908 --> 00:16:38.248
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:16:38.248 --> 00:16:38.428
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:16:38.428 --> 00:16:39.968
VIRGINIA: If there's a low wait time.

00:16:39.968 --> 00:16:40.388
JENN: Yeah.

00:16:40.388 --> 00:16:41.148
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:16:41.148 --> 00:16:46.688
VIRGINIA: With the Halloween Party, that has two parades, I think.

00:16:46.688 --> 00:16:51.468
VIRGINIA: So I have heard that it is much easier to get a better spot at the second one.

00:16:51.468 --> 00:16:56.568
VIRGINIA: Have you structured your night into like, okay, first we're going to go try to meet Jack and Sally or whatever.

00:16:56.568 --> 00:17:00.648
VIRGINIA: Do you have like an order that you feel like you need to attack the evening?

00:17:02.108 --> 00:17:06.188
JENN: No, I think we'll probably end up hitting the second parade.

00:17:06.188 --> 00:17:14.068
JENN: I think we'll probably skip Jack and Sally because I feel like that's probably going to be a chunk of time that I don't want to waste.

00:17:14.068 --> 00:17:20.668
JENN: We really want to see like Donald and Daisy and, you know, the Winnie the Pooh characters.

00:17:20.668 --> 00:17:25.808
JENN: But other than that, we'll probably skip those big wait times.

00:17:25.868 --> 00:17:26.888
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:17:26.888 --> 00:17:28.988
VIRGINIA: Wednesday, October 16th.

00:17:28.988 --> 00:17:31.668
JENN: I think this is like our play it by ear day.

00:17:31.688 --> 00:17:38.748
JENN: So I have Typhoon Lagoon slash Disney Springs slash Epcot slash Magic Kingdom, question mark.

00:17:38.748 --> 00:17:40.908
VIRGINIA: That's a lot of slashes there.

00:17:41.948 --> 00:17:52.428
VIRGINIA: But you know what, if you're going to the Halloween party the night before, I think leaving yourself open to whatever you feel like doing on that day is probably the smartest move because you're going to be out really late.

00:17:52.428 --> 00:17:53.948
JENN: Yeah, we'll probably sleep in.

00:17:54.228 --> 00:17:55.848
JENN: I really want to do Typhoon Lagoon.

00:17:55.848 --> 00:17:59.488
JENN: I haven't been since I was a kid and Joe's never been.

00:17:59.708 --> 00:18:11.228
JENN: So I'm hoping the weather cooperates at least one day for that and then probably come back, do a nap and maybe do probably Magic Kingdom at night or something.

00:18:11.228 --> 00:18:11.708
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:18:11.708 --> 00:18:12.048
JENN: Yeah.

00:18:12.048 --> 00:18:13.028
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:18:13.028 --> 00:18:15.268
VIRGINIA: Have you ever been to Blizzard Beach?

00:18:15.268 --> 00:18:16.608
JENN: Yeah, a couple of times.

00:18:16.608 --> 00:18:18.368
JENN: I love Blizzard Beach.

00:18:18.368 --> 00:18:18.808
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:18:18.808 --> 00:18:28.368
VIRGINIA: I have never been there because every time we have put it into our plans to go to a water park while at Disney, Typhoon Lagoon has always been the only one that's open.

00:18:28.368 --> 00:18:29.328
JENN: I'm the opposite.

00:18:29.328 --> 00:18:31.848
JENN: It's usually just Blizzard Beach when we go.

00:18:31.848 --> 00:18:32.488
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:18:34.168 --> 00:18:36.288
VIRGINIA: I like my experience at Typhoon Lagoon.

00:18:36.288 --> 00:18:38.888
VIRGINIA: The two times that I've been, it's been for H2O glow night.

00:18:38.888 --> 00:18:44.248
VIRGINIA: It was a little bit of a different experience because there was not as much in terms of crowds there.

00:18:44.248 --> 00:18:46.688
VIRGINIA: But I like the water park itself.

00:18:46.948 --> 00:18:54.648
VIRGINIA: What I don't really love as much is the wave pool, just because it was a little rough, in my opinion.

00:18:54.648 --> 00:18:56.988
VIRGINIA: Even just standing there.

00:18:56.988 --> 00:19:01.848
JENN: You would enjoy Blizzard Beach because the wave pool is pretty tame.

00:19:01.848 --> 00:19:02.248
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:19:02.608 --> 00:19:14.268
VIRGINIA: In Typhoon Lagoon, if you're standing even in just a foot and a half of water, when the wave alarm starts going off and it comes towards you, you can literally get knocked off your feet.

00:19:14.268 --> 00:19:15.488
JENN: Oh my gosh.

00:19:15.548 --> 00:19:15.828
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:19:16.188 --> 00:19:17.268
VIRGINIA: It's really strong.

00:19:17.268 --> 00:19:19.828
VIRGINIA: So just be aware.

00:19:19.828 --> 00:19:30.848
VIRGINIA: If you're not somebody who likes to be pushed down into the water and lose your balance and stuff, just approach with caution until you get a sense of what it really is like and how you can handle it.

00:19:30.848 --> 00:19:40.388
VIRGINIA: Because maybe it's because I'm short and center of gravity or something, but I find it very hard to stand in that wave pool.

00:19:40.388 --> 00:19:40.768
JENN: Okay.

00:19:40.768 --> 00:19:41.188
JENN: Good to know.

00:19:41.408 --> 00:19:46.468
JENN: I'm only 5'5, so I will take that advice.

00:19:46.468 --> 00:19:48.628
VIRGINIA: Thursday, October 17th.

00:19:50.068 --> 00:19:53.468
JENN: We're going to do some off property shopping.

00:19:53.468 --> 00:19:56.068
JENN: I think we're going to hit up an outlet mall.

00:19:56.068 --> 00:20:01.808
JENN: Joe wants to hit up a Bass Pro, so we'll probably do that.

00:20:01.808 --> 00:20:05.548
JENN: I think maybe I'm going to try and talk him into an Olive Garden.

00:20:05.548 --> 00:20:06.888
JENN: Because we don't have that.

00:20:06.968 --> 00:20:07.488
VIRGINIA: I know.

00:20:07.488 --> 00:20:10.328
JENN: We don't have those, so it's a novelty for us.

00:20:11.668 --> 00:20:13.768
JENN: And then maybe come back and do mini-golfing.

00:20:13.768 --> 00:20:14.428
VIRGINIA: Fun.

00:20:14.428 --> 00:20:16.648
VIRGINIA: Which mini-golfing are you thinking of?

00:20:16.648 --> 00:20:20.528
JENN: Whatever one is not the Blizzard Beach one, because we did that last time.

00:20:21.788 --> 00:20:24.908
JENN: So I think it's a Fantasia one or something.

00:20:24.908 --> 00:20:26.088
JENN: There's two.

00:20:26.088 --> 00:20:30.148
VIRGINIA: Yes, I think it's, is it called Fantasia Gardens?

00:20:30.148 --> 00:20:31.288
JENN: Yes, I think so.

00:20:31.308 --> 00:20:32.428
VIRGINIA: Something like that.

00:20:32.428 --> 00:20:32.748
JENN: Yeah.

00:20:32.748 --> 00:20:33.508
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:20:33.548 --> 00:20:34.168
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:20:34.168 --> 00:20:34.788
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:20:34.788 --> 00:20:37.628
JENN: We'll probably do that.

00:20:38.008 --> 00:20:41.528
VIRGINIA: Are you too competitive when it comes to mini-golf?

00:20:41.528 --> 00:20:42.268
JENN: Extremely.

00:20:42.268 --> 00:20:42.928
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:20:42.928 --> 00:20:45.428
JENN: We take it very seriously.

00:20:47.108 --> 00:20:49.528
JENN: 99 percent of the time I win.

00:20:49.528 --> 00:20:50.028
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:20:50.028 --> 00:20:55.088
JENN: I'm a little bit sour at that because Joe is one of those guys that's really good at everything.

00:20:55.088 --> 00:20:59.068
JENN: So it doesn't sit well for him that mini-golf isn't one of them.

00:21:00.268 --> 00:21:03.048
JENN: He's giving me an evil eye from across the room.

00:21:03.168 --> 00:21:05.708
VIRGINIA: The gauntlet has been thrown.

00:21:05.708 --> 00:21:07.088
VIRGINIA: We will see who wins.

00:21:07.088 --> 00:21:10.008
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:21:10.008 --> 00:21:10.888
JENN: That's it for that day.

00:21:10.888 --> 00:21:13.028
JENN: I think that's going to be a pretty low-key one.

00:21:13.028 --> 00:21:13.468
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:21:13.968 --> 00:21:15.428
VIRGINIA: That will be very nice.

00:21:15.428 --> 00:21:18.488
VIRGINIA: Friday, October the 18th.

00:21:18.488 --> 00:21:22.308
JENN: So we're going to do Animal Kingdom.

00:21:22.308 --> 00:21:29.288
JENN: I saw online that October 11th, Animal Kingdom had extended hours for the first time.

00:21:30.348 --> 00:21:34.348
JENN: But it wasn't showing the last time I checked for the 18th.

00:21:34.348 --> 00:21:39.688
JENN: So I don't know if it's going to be an every Friday thing or if it was a one-off.

00:21:39.688 --> 00:21:40.928
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:21:40.928 --> 00:21:42.948
JENN: I don't know what the deal was with that.

00:21:42.948 --> 00:21:46.888
JENN: So maybe do extended hours at Animal Kingdom.

00:21:46.888 --> 00:21:56.048
VIRGINIA: I heard that they were making the transition for the extended hours from Epcot and Magic Kingdom to Epcot and Hollywood Studios.

00:21:56.808 --> 00:22:01.708
VIRGINIA: But I can't remember when I had heard that that sort of switch was happening.

00:22:01.708 --> 00:22:05.088
VIRGINIA: But this is the first time hearing about extended Animal Kingdom.

00:22:05.088 --> 00:22:06.288
VIRGINIA: That would be exciting.

00:22:06.288 --> 00:22:07.588
JENN: I just fact-checked this.

00:22:07.588 --> 00:22:15.728
JENN: So on the 11th of October, yes, Animal Kingdom has extended hours until 10 o'clock.

00:22:15.728 --> 00:22:16.868
VIRGINIA: Until 10?

00:22:16.868 --> 00:22:18.208
JENN: Until 10.

00:22:18.208 --> 00:22:18.528
JENN: But-

00:22:18.528 --> 00:22:22.788
VIRGINIA: I mean, that's really extended considering how early they normally close.

00:22:22.788 --> 00:22:23.348
JENN: It is.

00:22:23.348 --> 00:22:24.548
JENN: That's what the app is telling me.

00:22:24.688 --> 00:22:29.668
JENN: Extended evening hour for guests of Disney Deluxe Resorts and other select hotels.

00:22:29.668 --> 00:22:32.848
JENN: But on the 18th, there's no extended hour showing.

00:22:32.848 --> 00:22:34.288
JENN: So I don't know what the deal is.

00:22:34.288 --> 00:22:37.568
JENN: I don't know if there's a one-off something.

00:22:37.568 --> 00:22:39.728
JENN: I don't know.

00:22:39.728 --> 00:22:41.628
JENN: Maybe we'll check that out on our check-in day.

00:22:41.628 --> 00:22:46.868
JENN: Maybe we will hit Tambu Lounge for dinner, and then head over to Animal Kingdom.

00:22:46.868 --> 00:22:47.488
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:22:47.488 --> 00:22:48.408
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:22:48.408 --> 00:22:51.988
VIRGINIA: Well, that would be really cool if they started working those in on occasion.

00:22:53.248 --> 00:22:54.288
JENN: Yeah.

00:22:54.288 --> 00:22:56.188
VIRGINIA: Something a little different.

00:22:56.188 --> 00:22:56.628
JENN: All right.

00:22:56.628 --> 00:22:58.768
VIRGINIA: Saturday, October 19th.

00:22:59.928 --> 00:23:04.208
JENN: The 19th, we have Topolino's Terrace Book for Breakfast.

00:23:05.288 --> 00:23:06.888
JENN: I keep hearing amazing things.

00:23:06.888 --> 00:23:08.568
VIRGINIA: Oh, this will be your first time?

00:23:08.568 --> 00:23:08.868
JENN: Yeah.

00:23:08.868 --> 00:23:10.068
JENN: We've never been.

00:23:10.068 --> 00:23:11.148
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:23:11.148 --> 00:23:13.828
VIRGINIA: Never been at all or never been for breakfast?

00:23:13.888 --> 00:23:14.788
VIRGINIA: Both.

00:23:14.788 --> 00:23:16.428
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:23:16.428 --> 00:23:19.528
VIRGINIA: Topolino's Breakfast, The Character Interactions.

00:23:19.528 --> 00:23:20.728
VIRGINIA: So much fun.

00:23:20.728 --> 00:23:22.308
VIRGINIA: Good food.

00:23:22.308 --> 00:23:30.688
VIRGINIA: I encourage you though to at some point when you have the opportunity to go back and have dinner there too, because the food for dinner is just top notch.

00:23:30.688 --> 00:23:32.688
JENN: What should I order for breakfast?

00:23:32.688 --> 00:23:37.368
VIRGINIA: I know that Charles got the steak and eggs, but that's like what he always would get.

00:23:37.368 --> 00:23:39.248
JENN: That sounds like a Joe breakfast.

00:23:40.628 --> 00:23:40.908
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:23:41.268 --> 00:23:49.948
VIRGINIA: He's very much like, I'm going to get the most bang for my buck out of this, because I think it's a single price, no matter what you're ordering.

00:23:49.948 --> 00:23:52.888
VIRGINIA: I got the quiche, the quiche gruyere.

00:23:52.888 --> 00:23:54.048
JENN: Okay.

00:23:54.048 --> 00:23:57.048
VIRGINIA: Which still for a quiche, $49.

00:23:59.888 --> 00:24:02.328
VIRGINIA: It's $49 flat rate.

00:24:02.328 --> 00:24:03.888
VIRGINIA: After we did it, it was so good.

00:24:03.888 --> 00:24:04.328
VIRGINIA: I loved it.

00:24:04.328 --> 00:24:07.008
VIRGINIA: I would go back and do it again and again.

00:24:07.008 --> 00:24:08.928
VIRGINIA: The character interactions are great.

00:24:08.928 --> 00:24:17.848
VIRGINIA: But when we walked away from that because of the price, and Charles is not like a, he likes seeing the characters, but he's not a big Disney person.

00:24:18.068 --> 00:24:21.308
VIRGINIA: So we walked away and he was like, I don't want to do that ever again.

00:24:21.308 --> 00:24:22.848
VIRGINIA: That was way too expensive for what it was.

00:24:22.848 --> 00:24:24.728
VIRGINIA: Oh, no.

00:24:24.728 --> 00:24:30.848
VIRGINIA: But then within a couple of months, I made him go back and we had dinner.

00:24:30.988 --> 00:24:34.908
VIRGINIA: He was like, oh, this was well worth it, even though it was still expensive.

00:24:34.968 --> 00:24:45.428
VIRGINIA: But it was, yeah, he was more into the dinner foods and it was, it had, not that, Polynesia is a very nice breakfast brunch.

00:24:45.428 --> 00:24:47.788
VIRGINIA: It's obviously top quality.

00:24:47.788 --> 00:24:52.568
VIRGINIA: But the dinner service really does feel like fine dining.

00:24:52.568 --> 00:24:54.368
VIRGINIA: Not as many kids there.

00:24:54.368 --> 00:24:59.428
VIRGINIA: The menu was just impeccable and the service was amazing.

00:24:59.988 --> 00:25:13.548
VIRGINIA: I mean, the service during breakfast is good too, but you don't get to experience what you would at a dinner seating because the breakfast is characters running around and it's a planned, like you can only order a certain number of things.

00:25:13.548 --> 00:25:20.188
VIRGINIA: And so, yeah, I would say definitely give it a shot for dinner at some point.

00:25:20.188 --> 00:25:20.728
JENN: Okay.

00:25:20.728 --> 00:25:21.688
JENN: Good to know.

00:25:21.688 --> 00:25:22.528
JENN: Good to know.

00:25:22.528 --> 00:25:23.048
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:25:23.048 --> 00:25:26.288
VIRGINIA: So what are you doing after that brunch?

00:25:26.288 --> 00:25:27.548
JENN: So probably a nap.

00:25:30.168 --> 00:25:43.728
JENN: And at some point that day, we want to try and make time and room to go and check out, I think they're called the goulash beignets right now over at the French Quarter.

00:25:43.728 --> 00:25:45.448
JENN: So we will do that.

00:25:45.448 --> 00:25:48.468
JENN: And then we're going to hit up Hollywood Studios at night.

00:25:48.468 --> 00:25:51.648
JENN: So I can finally watch Fantasmic.

00:25:51.648 --> 00:25:52.088
VIRGINIA: Finally.

00:25:52.088 --> 00:25:55.308
JENN: I don't know if you remember, but there's always something that happens.

00:25:56.008 --> 00:25:58.428
VIRGINIA: And I will believe it when I see it, Jenn.

00:25:58.428 --> 00:25:58.608
VIRGINIA: I know.

00:25:58.608 --> 00:25:59.868
VIRGINIA: I will believe it when I see it.

00:25:59.908 --> 00:26:01.728
VIRGINIA: I know.

00:26:01.728 --> 00:26:03.188
JENN: It's time.

00:26:03.188 --> 00:26:04.028
VIRGINIA: It's time.

00:26:04.028 --> 00:26:05.708
VIRGINIA: And I think you're going to love it.

00:26:05.708 --> 00:26:08.968
VIRGINIA: I can't wait to hear what you think about it.

00:26:08.968 --> 00:26:11.128
VIRGINIA: And I think there are two showings of it, right?

00:26:11.128 --> 00:26:13.028
JENN: So I think so.

00:26:13.028 --> 00:26:16.608
VIRGINIA: You have two chances if you're there in the evening time.

00:26:16.608 --> 00:26:17.988
JENN: Absolutely.

00:26:17.988 --> 00:26:18.528
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:26:18.528 --> 00:26:25.988
VIRGINIA: And in my opinion, there are some, I think what they're referred to as preferred seating that come with some of the dining packages.

00:26:25.988 --> 00:26:30.428
VIRGINIA: But the way that that stadium is set up, there's really not a bad seat.

00:26:30.428 --> 00:26:36.428
VIRGINIA: So don't stress about where you're going to sit, especially if there's just two of you, you'll squeeze in easily somewhere.

00:26:36.428 --> 00:26:43.668
VIRGINIA: And to me, it's like every seat is good, with the exception of perhaps the very front row, because you will get wet in the front row.

00:26:43.668 --> 00:26:45.468
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:26:45.468 --> 00:26:46.328
JENN: Okay.

00:26:46.328 --> 00:26:46.928
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:26:46.928 --> 00:26:49.328
VIRGINIA: Sunday, October 20th.

00:26:49.328 --> 00:26:52.708
JENN: We'll probably cry the first half of the day because we won't want to leave.

00:26:52.848 --> 00:26:56.208
JENN: But I think we're just going to leave that day open.

00:26:57.288 --> 00:27:03.108
JENN: Probably Magic Kingdom, but definitely catching the fireworks at Magic Kingdom.

00:27:03.108 --> 00:27:03.388
JENN: Yeah.

00:27:03.388 --> 00:27:04.088
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:27:04.088 --> 00:27:04.808
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:27:04.808 --> 00:27:07.228
VIRGINIA: Where do you think you'll watch the fireworks from?

00:27:07.228 --> 00:27:13.368
VIRGINIA: Are you going to watch it from the park or are you going to go back to your spot that you got engaged to watch them?

00:27:13.368 --> 00:27:17.928
JENN: Probably the park because we'll have stayed at the Polynesian and watched from the beach.

00:27:19.668 --> 00:27:28.468
JENN: And I think Main Street is Joe's favorite place to, yeah, he's nodding his head yes, is his favorite place to watch the fireworks.

00:27:28.468 --> 00:27:31.168
JENN: So yeah, we'll go do that.

00:27:31.168 --> 00:27:31.568
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:27:31.568 --> 00:27:36.228
VIRGINIA: And then Monday, October 21st, that is your departure day.

00:27:36.228 --> 00:27:36.908
JENN: It is.

00:27:36.908 --> 00:27:41.908
JENN: So we'll probably get an early start on the hit the road around 7.

00:27:41.908 --> 00:27:42.708
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:27:42.768 --> 00:27:43.488
JENN: Yeah.

00:27:43.488 --> 00:27:46.788
VIRGINIA: How far do you think you might drive that first day?

00:27:46.788 --> 00:27:49.848
VIRGINIA: Like where do you anticipate you might stop?

00:27:49.848 --> 00:27:56.488
JENN: We usually, we've only, well, yeah, we pushed through to West Virginia.

00:27:56.488 --> 00:27:57.328
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:27:57.328 --> 00:28:00.288
VIRGINIA: Well, this is going to be such an amazing trip.

00:28:00.288 --> 00:28:14.908
JENN: I'm so excited to just, especially after like the chaotic March break trip, really looking forward to just some R&R, couple, solo, quiet, as quiet as it gets at Disney, but yeah.

00:28:14.908 --> 00:28:15.528
VIRGINIA: Right.

00:28:15.528 --> 00:28:19.968
VIRGINIA: But that's the great thing about Disney, is it can be what you want it to be.

00:28:19.968 --> 00:28:26.108
VIRGINIA: You can be out amongst the people, you can sit somewhere and enjoy coffee quietly by yourself.

00:28:26.108 --> 00:28:29.988
VIRGINIA: You can have a very relaxing trip, you can have a very adventurous trip.

00:28:29.988 --> 00:28:33.288
VIRGINIA: It is quite literally a choose your own adventure.

00:28:33.328 --> 00:28:34.448
JENN: Completely agree.

00:28:34.448 --> 00:28:35.248
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:28:35.248 --> 00:28:39.388
VIRGINIA: Well, Jenn, it is such a pleasure to talk to you always.

00:28:39.388 --> 00:28:48.388
VIRGINIA: And I can't wait to hear how all of this goes and hear your report back about Discovery Cove and all of the new things that you're trying.

00:28:48.388 --> 00:28:49.628
JENN: Can't wait to report back.

00:28:49.628 --> 00:28:52.288
JENN: Thanks for having me.

00:28:52.288 --> 00:28:57.388
VIRGINIA: Thank you, Jenn, for joining me on the show and for being such a delight as always.

00:28:57.388 --> 00:29:00.468
VIRGINIA: At some point, we have to get Joe on here with you.

00:29:00.468 --> 00:29:03.928
VIRGINIA: Jenn's post-trip episode is up next, so don't go anywhere.

00:29:03.928 --> 00:29:07.948
VIRGINIA: Just stay where you are and keep daydreaming about where you long to be.
