VIRGINIA: Hello, 90s Disney mom.

00:01:07.675 --> 00:01:08.075
VIRGINIA: Hello.

00:01:08.935 --> 00:01:11.815
VIRGINIA: Do you want to share your real name with everyone?

00:01:12.355 --> 00:01:12.635
VIRGINIA: Sure.

00:01:12.655 --> 00:01:13.175
REBECCA: I'm Rebecca.

00:01:13.835 --> 00:01:14.835
VIRGINIA: Hello, Rebecca.

00:01:14.855 --> 00:01:17.855
VIRGINIA: So nice to have you here on the podcast.

00:01:17.875 --> 00:01:23.635
VIRGINIA: Thank you so much for taking the time to come and chat with me about your trip and your love of Disney.

00:01:24.075 --> 00:01:29.435
VIRGINIA: So 90s Disney mom, how did you get inspired to make that your Instagram handle?

00:01:29.835 --> 00:01:41.735
REBECCA: Yeah, I feel like I'm a 90s baby born and raised in like the best era of Disney, like Little Mermaid and The Lion King, Aladdin, all the like 90s classics.

00:01:42.015 --> 00:01:49.515
REBECCA: And now I'm a mom of two little boys and kind of introducing them to some of those classics and you know, the love for Disney.

00:01:50.575 --> 00:01:51.675
VIRGINIA: How old are your boys?

00:01:52.735 --> 00:01:54.475
REBECCA: They are two and five.

00:01:55.115 --> 00:01:55.595
VIRGINIA: Oh, wow.

00:01:56.355 --> 00:02:00.395
VIRGINIA: So five year old is already in kindergarten or will be starting kindergarten?

00:02:00.715 --> 00:02:04.075
REBECCA: This is his last week of kindergarten, but he is very young for kindergarten.

00:02:04.375 --> 00:02:08.815
REBECCA: He turned six in less than a month, so we're kind of celebrating his birthday on this trip.

00:02:09.895 --> 00:02:10.375
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:02:10.995 --> 00:02:12.735
VIRGINIA: And where in the world are you?

00:02:13.575 --> 00:02:15.015
REBECCA: I'm in Wilmington, North Carolina.

00:02:15.455 --> 00:02:16.035
VIRGINIA: No way.

00:02:16.455 --> 00:02:16.895
REBECCA: What?

00:02:17.975 --> 00:02:19.175
VIRGINIA: I'm a North Carolina native.

00:02:19.195 --> 00:02:22.855
VIRGINIA: So yeah, I grew up in the mountains of North Carolina.

00:02:22.875 --> 00:02:31.515
VIRGINIA: I went to UNC Chapel Hill and for years, she has since moved, but for years, my aunt had a beach house over at Curie Beach.

00:02:32.115 --> 00:02:32.815
REBECCA: Oh, yes.

00:02:33.235 --> 00:02:38.295
REBECCA: And I've always pronounced it Cur-beach and I've heard that that's wrong, that is Curie, but I've still never been there.

00:02:39.075 --> 00:02:39.575
VIRGINIA: It's night.

00:02:39.595 --> 00:02:40.995
VIRGINIA: Have you been to Carolina Beach?

00:02:41.575 --> 00:02:42.135
REBECCA: I have.

00:02:42.155 --> 00:02:42.555
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:02:42.815 --> 00:02:43.495
REBECCA: Okay.

00:02:43.495 --> 00:02:47.815
REBECCA: It's still a pretty far drive because I'm a little north of Wilmington, like closer to Topsoil Beach.

00:02:48.175 --> 00:02:48.575
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:02:48.655 --> 00:02:49.135
VIRGINIA: Got it.

00:02:49.275 --> 00:02:49.655
VIRGINIA: Got it.

00:02:49.715 --> 00:02:50.075
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:02:50.795 --> 00:02:54.455
VIRGINIA: Carolina Beach is sort of just above Curie Beach.

00:02:54.475 --> 00:02:58.315
VIRGINIA: So if you go to Carolina Beach and go a couple of minutes down the road, you're there.

00:02:58.455 --> 00:03:02.855
VIRGINIA: It's very residential, very quiet and beautiful.

00:03:03.015 --> 00:03:11.255
VIRGINIA: And I'm sad that I don't have a beach home anymore to go back to because for years we would just go there and have the best time.

00:03:11.515 --> 00:03:13.995
REBECCA: Oh, well, you're not going to like me anymore because I'm Wolfpack.

00:03:14.835 --> 00:03:15.455
VIRGINIA: Oh, gosh.

00:03:17.175 --> 00:03:40.715
VIRGINIA: Well, I have interviewed, if you go back and you listen to the episode where I had the two ladies from Parents on Disney as trip report guests, they are both, I think one of them might work at NC State, I'm not sure, but I have definitely interviewed some Wolfpack members and I've also interviewed a Tar Heel, two plus three travelers is a Tar Heel.

00:03:42.275 --> 00:03:45.575
VIRGINIA: So, always happy to talk to someone from North Carolina.

00:03:45.735 --> 00:03:47.675
VIRGINIA: Did you grow up in North Carolina?

00:03:48.015 --> 00:03:50.755
REBECCA: Yes, I was born in Greenville, so where ECU is.

00:03:51.495 --> 00:03:52.455
VIRGINIA: Okay, okay.

00:03:52.795 --> 00:03:53.375
VIRGINIA: Fantastic.

00:03:53.935 --> 00:03:54.415
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:03:54.815 --> 00:03:59.635
VIRGINIA: Well, let's get started and talk a little bit about how you got into Disney.

00:04:00.315 --> 00:04:06.135
VIRGINIA: Growing up in North Carolina, you certainly can drive to the parks, but it's kind of a long drive.

00:04:06.155 --> 00:04:07.775
VIRGINIA: So, what was your history?

00:04:08.515 --> 00:04:17.935
REBECCA: I have a vague memory of me and some of my aunts and cousins and stuff like that, probably piling too many people into a van and driving down to Disney in the middle of the night.

00:04:17.955 --> 00:04:21.795
REBECCA: So I think, I mean, I have been to Disney as a child.

00:04:22.615 --> 00:04:23.995
REBECCA: I was probably five.

00:04:24.015 --> 00:04:26.715
REBECCA: I don't really remember much.

00:04:26.775 --> 00:04:31.055
REBECCA: And then I didn't go again until I think I went to Universal when I was a little older.

00:04:31.075 --> 00:04:38.315
REBECCA: And I didn't go to Disney again until maybe like for my honeymoon.

00:04:40.695 --> 00:04:46.835
REBECCA: Yeah, I didn't grow up going to Disney a ton, like and that's I'm not, you know, I'm not Disney loyal.

00:04:46.855 --> 00:04:49.355
REBECCA: It doesn't have to be just Disney, just any theme park.

00:04:49.475 --> 00:04:54.395
REBECCA: I'm, you know, it doesn't, it does feel special and magical, but really it's theme parks in general.

00:04:54.415 --> 00:04:55.275
REBECCA: I'm all about.

00:04:55.955 --> 00:04:57.935
VIRGINIA: So have you spent a lot of time at Carowinds?

00:04:59.135 --> 00:04:59.875
REBECCA: I did.

00:04:59.895 --> 00:05:05.515
REBECCA: And in fact, I lived in Charlotte and I worked at Carowinds one summer between college, semester.

00:05:07.575 --> 00:05:17.655
VIRGINIA: I have obviously not been there in years and years and years, but that was the go to place we would hit up for a theme park fun being in North Carolina.

00:05:17.875 --> 00:05:22.755
VIRGINIA: Occasionally, we'd go over to Six, was it Six Flags over Georgia?

00:05:22.775 --> 00:05:23.155
VIRGINIA: Georgia.

00:05:23.175 --> 00:05:25.795
VIRGINIA: I guess I was going to say Atlanta, but I was like, that doesn't feel right.

00:05:25.815 --> 00:05:26.755
VIRGINIA: It's not rolling off my tongue.

00:05:27.135 --> 00:05:27.455
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:05:27.475 --> 00:05:28.255
REBECCA: I've been to that one.

00:05:28.275 --> 00:05:33.395
REBECCA: And I think there's a Six Flags and like the Baltimore or DC area I've been to.

00:05:33.555 --> 00:05:38.235
REBECCA: And there's Kings Dominion in Virginia, Busch Gardens in Virginia.

00:05:39.515 --> 00:05:41.455
REBECCA: That's probably closer to where I grew up.

00:05:41.595 --> 00:05:49.455
REBECCA: I mean, it's like straight up, I don't know, 95 to get to Busch Gardens and Kings Dominion, Water Country, USA, whatever it's called now.

00:05:50.535 --> 00:05:58.495
VIRGINIA: Yeah, it's right off the highway and I've passed it a million times driving from New York City back down to North Carolina to visit family and stuff.

00:05:58.855 --> 00:06:04.115
VIRGINIA: And every time I pass it, I'm like, I should have gone there at some point during my life and I just never have.

00:06:04.135 --> 00:06:09.715
VIRGINIA: And I feel like at this point, being where I am in the world, it's not probably going to happen.

00:06:09.735 --> 00:06:12.455
VIRGINIA: But I heard it's a really good theme park.

00:06:12.615 --> 00:06:22.895
REBECCA: Well, we went to Busch Gardens recently, like within the last year, and I'm like, oh, this is why people love Disney so much, because I couldn't ride a single ride with my kids.

00:06:22.915 --> 00:06:29.815
REBECCA: It's like I have to wait while they go on rides and or I could go on rides, but I'm not going to go on rides without my kids.

00:06:30.455 --> 00:06:35.995
REBECCA: And so it was just I would watch my kids go on rides all day and it wasn't interactive.

00:06:36.015 --> 00:06:37.595
REBECCA: It wasn't anything for us to do together.

00:06:37.615 --> 00:06:39.895
REBECCA: And I'm like, I miss Disney for that aspect.

00:06:41.115 --> 00:06:41.455
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:06:42.475 --> 00:06:47.495
VIRGINIA: Well, let's talk a little bit about how often you go now at this point.

00:06:47.515 --> 00:06:50.515
VIRGINIA: So you said that you went for your honeymoon.

00:06:50.575 --> 00:06:51.935
VIRGINIA: Like what's your frequency?

00:06:52.535 --> 00:06:58.795
VIRGINIA: I want to say what's your frequency, Kenneth, but I'm not sure if you'll catch the reference to the REM song.

00:07:00.795 --> 00:07:01.675
VIRGINIA: I'm showing my age.

00:07:03.595 --> 00:07:04.455
REBECCA: I know REM.

00:07:04.475 --> 00:07:05.235
REBECCA: I don't know that song.

00:07:05.475 --> 00:07:09.095
REBECCA: Okay, but I go at least once a year.

00:07:09.935 --> 00:07:11.135
REBECCA: My husband's a soccer coach.

00:07:11.155 --> 00:07:14.355
REBECCA: They have a lot of soccer tournaments down there, so we'd like to piggyback on those.

00:07:15.655 --> 00:07:18.435
REBECCA: And he actually is not a Disney fan at all.

00:07:18.815 --> 00:07:28.475
REBECCA: So any trips we go on are very compromised or I'm going without him and I take the kids by myself or I take one kid.

00:07:28.735 --> 00:07:36.335
REBECCA: Like I went to Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween this past season with just my five-year-old right before school started.

00:07:37.295 --> 00:07:43.975
REBECCA: And I'm going to plan to keep that a tradition and bring my other child one right before he starts school as well.

00:07:45.575 --> 00:07:57.535
VIRGINIA: So when your husband does go, is he out and about with you all doing the rides or does he like to hang by the pool or go golfing or whatever?

00:07:58.455 --> 00:08:05.435
REBECCA: If he had his choice, the latter, yeah, he'd just prefer to go to a resort and hang out by the pool all day.

00:08:05.735 --> 00:08:10.575
REBECCA: But to be there with the kids and experience, he does tag along and go.

00:08:10.595 --> 00:08:16.075
REBECCA: And once we're there, he's fine and he doesn't have any complaints in the park and he has a good time.

00:08:16.395 --> 00:08:24.195
REBECCA: It's just the like leading up to it and knowing we're going on a trip that he doesn't really enjoy, which that's my favorite part of the planning.

00:08:24.475 --> 00:08:39.635
VIRGINIA: Right, and I think a lot of us Disney fanatics, Disney adults, we get nearly as much joy out of the planning and thinking about the memories from trips and everything that happens when you're not there as when you are there.

00:08:40.235 --> 00:08:52.595
VIRGINIA: But it says something to me that he's fine once he's there and it's probably because based on your love of Disney and your planning skills that you make it as easy as possible.

00:08:53.115 --> 00:09:09.935
REBECCA: Exactly, like one of the last times the kids were much younger, we went with like, so he's English and so his whole family and his brothers and sisters and parents still live in England and they came over for a trip right, I was supposed to be right before during COVID and it got canceled.

00:09:10.295 --> 00:09:17.515
REBECCA: So it was my youngest was like one and he wasn't, I wasn't even pregnant with him when we were supposed to be on this trip.

00:09:19.355 --> 00:09:25.875
REBECCA: And so we went and we had a lot of resort breaks because I had even smaller children than I have now.

00:09:26.475 --> 00:09:31.395
REBECCA: And when we came back, I had lightning lane stack, stack, stack, so we didn't have to wait in a single line.

00:09:31.415 --> 00:09:34.495
REBECCA: He was like, man, if it's like this, we can go to Disney all the time.

00:09:34.515 --> 00:09:35.815
REBECCA: Like I don't have to wait in a single line.

00:09:35.835 --> 00:09:36.955
REBECCA: I'm like, you're welcome.

00:09:38.715 --> 00:09:39.935
VIRGINIA: So he's English.

00:09:39.995 --> 00:09:42.255
VIRGINIA: I just finished recently watching Ted Lasso.

00:09:42.275 --> 00:09:44.175
VIRGINIA: It sounds like he's the opposite of Ted Lasso.

00:09:44.275 --> 00:09:45.075
VIRGINIA: Like he came over here.

00:09:45.095 --> 00:09:45.975
REBECCA: Ted Lasso is our favorite.

00:09:46.355 --> 00:09:46.875
VIRGINIA: Oh really?

00:09:48.095 --> 00:09:50.235
REBECCA: Yeah, he's like the exact opposite of Ted Lasso.

00:09:50.255 --> 00:09:51.935
REBECCA: Except he doesn't coach American football here.

00:09:51.955 --> 00:09:53.735
REBECCA: He coaches English football here.

00:09:53.835 --> 00:09:54.115
REBECCA: Right.

00:09:54.135 --> 00:09:55.735
REBECCA: Otherwise, the exact opposite.

00:09:57.135 --> 00:09:57.995
VIRGINIA: Such a good show.

00:09:58.055 --> 00:09:58.775
VIRGINIA: Such a good show.

00:09:58.795 --> 00:10:01.115
VIRGINIA: People kept saying how good it was.

00:10:01.135 --> 00:10:04.495
VIRGINIA: And I had watched like an episode or two and I was like, yeah, this is good.

00:10:04.515 --> 00:10:06.955
VIRGINIA: But then I just didn't continue watching.

00:10:07.035 --> 00:10:12.675
VIRGINIA: And then over the past couple months, I sat down and was like, everybody raves about the show.

00:10:12.835 --> 00:10:14.095
VIRGINIA: I'm going to start over again.

00:10:14.115 --> 00:10:15.975
VIRGINIA: I'm going to watch the first two episodes.

00:10:16.595 --> 00:10:19.215
VIRGINIA: And by like the third episode, I was totally hooked.

00:10:19.255 --> 00:10:23.155
VIRGINIA: And then I just plowed my way through the whole series.

00:10:23.175 --> 00:10:27.575
VIRGINIA: In fact, I didn't know how many seasons there were and what was going to be the ending.

00:10:27.595 --> 00:10:29.555
VIRGINIA: So we got to the ending and I was like, what?

00:10:29.575 --> 00:10:30.695
VIRGINIA: That's it?

00:10:31.355 --> 00:10:32.355
VIRGINIA: I mean, not that's it.

00:10:32.375 --> 00:10:34.275
VIRGINIA: Like the storyline felt concluded.

00:10:34.435 --> 00:10:35.495
REBECCA: It's like, how did they get from there?

00:10:36.155 --> 00:10:37.915
VIRGINIA: But I didn't I didn't want it to end.

00:10:38.535 --> 00:10:39.055
VIRGINIA: So good.

00:10:40.175 --> 00:10:46.655
VIRGINIA: Anyway, all right, enough to have Ted Lasso talk, all right, let's get into the details of this trip.

00:10:46.675 --> 00:10:59.115
VIRGINIA: So you said that you were going to be traveling Monday, May 27 through Friday, May 31, and that you're going with your family and then meeting up with some friends there.

00:10:59.475 --> 00:11:06.615
VIRGINIA: So are the friends that you're meeting up with going to be with you the entire time or literally you're just meeting up for a little bit of time together in the parks?

00:11:07.035 --> 00:11:10.675
REBECCA: We're meeting up at the parks and I think we'll just have to play it by ear.

00:11:10.695 --> 00:11:14.295
REBECCA: Her kids, she has some younger kids, like a baby as well.

00:11:15.835 --> 00:11:18.655
REBECCA: And so I think if they leave early, obviously we'll just stay.

00:11:18.795 --> 00:11:21.515
REBECCA: But for the most part, we're going to be hanging out with them at the parks.

00:11:21.535 --> 00:11:28.175
REBECCA: They're annual pass holders and probably piggyback on their memory makers and stuff like that.

00:11:28.635 --> 00:11:28.995
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:11:29.015 --> 00:11:29.935
REBECCA: They get a few bonuses.

00:11:30.395 --> 00:11:31.995
VIRGINIA: Are they Orlando locals?

00:11:32.675 --> 00:11:33.515
REBECCA: They are not.

00:11:33.755 --> 00:11:36.855
REBECCA: They live in somewhere southern, Florida.

00:11:36.875 --> 00:11:37.675
REBECCA: I should probably know this.

00:11:37.695 --> 00:11:40.615
REBECCA: They used to be my neighbors in our old neighborhood before we moved.

00:11:41.175 --> 00:11:41.575
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:11:42.275 --> 00:11:45.755
VIRGINIA: And what inspired you to take this trip?

00:11:45.875 --> 00:11:50.735
VIRGINIA: You said partly it's your older son's birthday, but anything else?

00:11:51.035 --> 00:11:53.135
REBECCA: I guess technically it's like a mother's day trip.

00:11:53.155 --> 00:11:54.375
REBECCA: That's what my husband is saying.

00:11:54.395 --> 00:11:58.355
REBECCA: Like, yes, consider this your mother's day present, and I'm super happy to do so.

00:11:59.415 --> 00:12:03.755
REBECCA: And I'm also considering it our oldest birthday trip as well.

00:12:05.275 --> 00:12:07.315
VIRGINIA: Your oldest boy is?

00:12:07.735 --> 00:12:08.155
REBECCA: Ollie.

00:12:08.335 --> 00:12:15.115
REBECCA: And he actually, this is his last week of school, which is another reason why we're going next week is because it's the first week where we don't have school.

00:12:15.615 --> 00:12:15.975
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:12:16.015 --> 00:12:17.615
VIRGINIA: And the youngest name is?

00:12:17.635 --> 00:12:17.955
REBECCA: Owen.

00:12:18.655 --> 00:12:18.935
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:12:19.055 --> 00:12:19.915
VIRGINIA: Ollie and Owen.

00:12:19.915 --> 00:12:20.795
VIRGINIA: Oh, that's so cute.

00:12:20.815 --> 00:12:22.135
VIRGINIA: I love it.

00:12:22.155 --> 00:12:23.895
REBECCA: I say their wrong names all the time.

00:12:23.915 --> 00:12:27.435
REBECCA: I'm like have to say four names, including my dog's names when I'm yelling at them.

00:12:28.115 --> 00:12:35.215
VIRGINIA: Listen, growing up, my mother used to always say Margaret, Louise, whatever your name is, and neither of our names are Margaret or Louise.

00:12:35.555 --> 00:12:38.175
VIRGINIA: It was just those were her standard names to throw out.

00:12:38.435 --> 00:12:40.695
VIRGINIA: And so I hear you.

00:12:41.535 --> 00:12:42.815
VIRGINIA: That's why I only have one kid.

00:12:43.255 --> 00:12:43.855
VIRGINIA: I'm just kidding.

00:12:43.875 --> 00:12:44.615
VIRGINIA: That's not the reason.

00:12:44.835 --> 00:12:47.455
VIRGINIA: But what if it were?

00:12:48.155 --> 00:12:48.855
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:12:48.975 --> 00:12:54.255
VIRGINIA: So you all are going down and how are you going to be getting to Orlando?

00:12:54.515 --> 00:13:02.655
REBECCA: That's a fun story, because I will be driving eight and a half hours with the kids by myself.

00:13:03.015 --> 00:13:03.495
VIRGINIA: Oh, wow.

00:13:03.635 --> 00:13:06.035
REBECCA: And my husband has a soccer tournament in Virginia.

00:13:06.055 --> 00:13:09.495
REBECCA: So he's going to and he has a game on that Monday.

00:13:09.575 --> 00:13:12.095
REBECCA: So he's going to fly down that night and meet us there.

00:13:13.815 --> 00:13:16.115
VIRGINIA: So have you ever done a long drive like this?

00:13:16.415 --> 00:13:17.455
VIRGINIA: Just you and the kids?

00:13:18.135 --> 00:13:18.695
REBECCA: I have.

00:13:18.715 --> 00:13:24.335
REBECCA: In fact, last time we went when we were meeting his family from England down there, it was the same story.

00:13:24.355 --> 00:13:27.255
REBECCA: I'm starting to think my husband doesn't like driving with us.

00:13:28.855 --> 00:13:30.175
REBECCA: And they were really young.

00:13:30.175 --> 00:13:32.915
REBECCA: They were like, you know, one in three.

00:13:32.935 --> 00:13:36.855
REBECCA: So I'm like, this can't be any more difficult than it was last time.

00:13:36.915 --> 00:13:41.035
REBECCA: Like now they, you know, can be entertained by toys and tablets.

00:13:41.675 --> 00:13:45.495
REBECCA: And we don't have to stop for diaper changes or feeding the baby.

00:13:47.115 --> 00:13:51.315
REBECCA: We definitely mastered the pulling over to the side of the road and just peeing in the grass because I have boys.

00:13:51.475 --> 00:13:56.915
REBECCA: And that to me is more sanitary and safe than going to a sketchy gas station to use the bathroom.

00:13:58.195 --> 00:14:00.395
REBECCA: Unless it's Bucky's, we will always stop at a Bucky's.

00:14:00.615 --> 00:14:02.255
VIRGINIA: That's exactly what I was about to say.

00:14:02.675 --> 00:14:03.715
VIRGINIA: You have to do that.

00:14:04.235 --> 00:14:06.115
VIRGINIA: We never said your husband's name.

00:14:06.135 --> 00:14:10.055
VIRGINIA: So let's say it for the purposes of being able to refer to him by name.

00:14:10.295 --> 00:14:11.515
REBECCA: Kev is my husband's name.

00:14:11.775 --> 00:14:12.255
VIRGINIA: Perfect.

00:14:12.675 --> 00:14:16.395
VIRGINIA: What time are you going to be starting this drive with the kids?

00:14:17.215 --> 00:14:19.935
REBECCA: I haven't decided probably as early as possible.

00:14:19.955 --> 00:14:21.635
REBECCA: Like I'm thinking 6 or 7 a.m.

00:14:22.715 --> 00:14:25.195
REBECCA: Wake them up still in their pajamas, put them in the car.

00:14:26.935 --> 00:14:30.955
VIRGINIA: Do you think that they will sleep, go back to sleep, I should say?

00:14:31.315 --> 00:14:31.675
REBECCA: No.

00:14:32.175 --> 00:14:34.255
REBECCA: And when they were one in three, they didn't even sleep.

00:14:34.275 --> 00:14:37.395
REBECCA: The entire like nine hour car ride down there, they did not sleep.

00:14:38.015 --> 00:14:40.395
REBECCA: So I have very low expectations.

00:14:41.515 --> 00:14:49.315
VIRGINIA: Well, hopefully they'll be able to, I don't know, watch something on an iPad or something and keep themselves occupied.

00:14:49.335 --> 00:14:50.315
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:14:51.195 --> 00:14:52.075
VIRGINIA: Next question.

00:14:52.255 --> 00:14:54.155
VIRGINIA: Where will you be staying for this trip?

00:14:54.855 --> 00:14:58.115
REBECCA: It is near the Disney Springs area, but it's off site this time.

00:14:59.215 --> 00:14:59.555
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:14:59.715 --> 00:15:18.755
REBECCA: And the reason we're doing that is because we've done a regular hotel before, we've done Disney on site before, and it was rough with the kids being so close in age and the ages they are, and at home, they each have their own rooms and they have sound machines and they have their routines.

00:15:18.895 --> 00:15:22.235
REBECCA: And then when we go on vacation, they are up till midnight.

00:15:22.255 --> 00:15:23.915
REBECCA: It doesn't matter that they're Disney tired.

00:15:24.035 --> 00:15:26.035
REBECCA: I cannot get them to sleep if they're in the same room.

00:15:26.935 --> 00:15:27.435
VIRGINIA: Oh, okay.

00:15:27.675 --> 00:15:28.075
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:15:28.095 --> 00:15:38.215
REBECCA: So a three-bedroom place, so they each get their own room and we get our own room and we have a living room so we can hang out after they get asleep because that's also been like we're just laying there like, what do we do now?

00:15:38.655 --> 00:15:39.095
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:15:39.575 --> 00:15:42.275
VIRGINIA: So where did you end up finding this place?

00:15:42.295 --> 00:15:45.335
VIRGINIA: Was it on like a VRBO type website?

00:15:45.635 --> 00:15:52.315
REBECCA: I was looking because I've stayed, the only time I've stayed off site before was at a Disney Springs Hotel and it was a good neighbor hotel.

00:15:52.335 --> 00:16:10.055
REBECCA: So I looked up the list of all the good neighbor hotels and I looked for suite style good neighbor hotels and the DoubleTree that I stayed in before on Disney Springs love it, but it's still not like if it was maybe just one kid, but not with both kids because it's really just a living room and then a bedroom.

00:16:11.655 --> 00:16:21.555
REBECCA: So this was the one I found that was a good neighbor hotel and it had three bedroom suites for basically the same price as a value Disney Resort.

00:16:21.615 --> 00:16:22.375
REBECCA: That's one room.

00:16:22.935 --> 00:16:23.275
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:16:23.575 --> 00:16:25.635
REBECCA: Lake Buena Vista is the name of the resort.

00:16:26.295 --> 00:16:27.275
VIRGINIA: Oh, okay.

00:16:28.075 --> 00:16:42.195
VIRGINIA: Well when we end up talking after you're in your post trip interview, if it turns out to be a place you'd recommend, we will definitely be interested to hear that because people are always curious about the offsite options.

00:16:42.815 --> 00:16:50.975
VIRGINIA: So because you're driving down there and you're staying offsite, you're, I imagine, going to be using your car to get wherever you need to go.

00:16:51.335 --> 00:16:53.095
VIRGINIA: So how will that work?

00:16:53.115 --> 00:16:53.735
VIRGINIA: What's your plan?

00:16:53.975 --> 00:17:01.235
REBECCA: I'd still like to use it as little as possible because for me, a vacation is not driving my car because I just drive eight and a half hours there.

00:17:02.235 --> 00:17:09.995
REBECCA: But I think the first day is Animal Kingdom, so we're definitely going to drive there that morning because it's just so far in the other direction.

00:17:11.555 --> 00:17:22.555
REBECCA: And I was reading about the shuttle service for the Good Neighbor Hotels and I guess they will take you to the transportation center, but not obviously to Animal Kingdom.

00:17:22.615 --> 00:17:25.375
REBECCA: So I think for the other parks, we're fine just taking the shuttle.

00:17:26.675 --> 00:17:29.155
REBECCA: But for the first day, we're going to drive to Animal Kingdom.

00:17:29.575 --> 00:17:32.795
VIRGINIA: And I didn't ask, but what kind of tickets do you have?

00:17:33.735 --> 00:17:43.775
REBECCA: So we did the three-day tickets that they're offering right now because unpopular opinion, but Magic Kingdom is one of my least favorite parks.

00:17:43.915 --> 00:17:48.755
REBECCA: And it's the one we went to last because we did Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween.

00:17:49.155 --> 00:18:02.755
REBECCA: And actually a birthday trip for myself, I have coming up later in the years to Disneyland Paris, and I feel like they have, you know, I'm going to get my Haunted Mansion and my Big Thunder Mountain and a castle fix then.

00:18:02.775 --> 00:18:06.435
REBECCA: And my kids probably could care less, but I'll get my fix then.

00:18:06.435 --> 00:18:07.675
REBECCA: So it gives me something to look forward to.

00:18:08.155 --> 00:18:08.535
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:18:08.535 --> 00:18:09.175
VIRGINIA: And you know what?

00:18:09.815 --> 00:18:13.795
VIRGINIA: Even with young kids like that, there is stuff for them in every single park.

00:18:13.875 --> 00:18:19.955
VIRGINIA: So you're still going to get plenty of all of the Disney feels even if you don't go into Magic Kingdom.

00:18:19.975 --> 00:18:24.135
VIRGINIA: And what time will your husband be arriving in Orlando and joining you, do you think?

00:18:25.475 --> 00:18:26.695
REBECCA: Probably eight or nine.

00:18:26.875 --> 00:18:38.815
REBECCA: So our plan is to hopefully get to the resort around three or four, check in, and then I want to take the kids to Disney Springs because the new drone show starts a few, like two days before I get there.

00:18:38.835 --> 00:18:42.195
REBECCA: So I really want to see the nighttime drone show.

00:18:42.215 --> 00:18:45.275
REBECCA: I've never seen a drone show in my life and I think the kids will like it too.

00:18:45.915 --> 00:18:57.315
VIRGINIA: Yeah, I am going to be trying to do that when I am there at the beginning of June and I just looked it up and it seems like every night they have two showings, one at 9 PM and one at 10 45 PM.

00:18:57.935 --> 00:18:59.835
VIRGINIA: So that will be very exciting.

00:18:59.855 --> 00:19:00.915
REBECCA: It's a little late for the kids.

00:19:01.175 --> 00:19:02.055
VIRGINIA: It is a little late.

00:19:02.075 --> 00:19:12.055
REBECCA: I'm going to try to, like if they're completely freaking out, then I'll give up and just go back to the resort, but I'm really going to give them ice cream, give them whatever they want to keep them for their for the drone show.

00:19:13.195 --> 00:19:19.075
VIRGINIA: And even if this doesn't work out, my understanding is that the drone show that they have at Disneyland Paris is amazing.

00:19:19.615 --> 00:19:23.395
VIRGINIA: So you will also get a drone show fix, I think, when you go there.

00:19:23.795 --> 00:19:24.575
REBECCA: Yeah, hopefully.

00:19:24.595 --> 00:19:31.655
REBECCA: I don't know if because I'm going a few days after Halloween and then the last day I'm there is the first day they start Christmas stuff.

00:19:31.835 --> 00:19:45.775
REBECCA: So I'm at least going to see some Christmas things, but then I don't know they haven't they don't announce things as far in advance as I feel like the Walt Disney World and Disneyland parks do like so I don't know what the shows are going to be at the time, but hopefully they'll have some sort of drone show.

00:19:46.495 --> 00:19:47.215
VIRGINIA: I would hope so.

00:19:47.235 --> 00:19:52.975
VIRGINIA: I mean, everything I've seen from it, it just it feels like if you can do this, why would you not continue to do it?

00:19:53.535 --> 00:19:54.615
VIRGINIA: It should be the new thing.

00:19:54.915 --> 00:20:11.735
VIRGINIA: And I think it's really interesting that they're doing it over at Disney Springs, which I think is smart in a lot of ways because then you get people over there at nighttime after the parks have potentially closed to do other things, shopping, dining, see their own show.

00:20:12.135 --> 00:20:22.095
VIRGINIA: So I'll be crossing my fingers for you that you get to see it and that when we speak again, that I will perhaps get some tips on where to stand for it.

00:20:23.395 --> 00:20:29.395
REBECCA: So yeah, I've like literally scoped out on Google Earth, like where the good spots are to view it.

00:20:30.035 --> 00:20:31.435
REBECCA: So hopefully that pays off.

00:20:31.455 --> 00:20:31.795
REBECCA: We'll see.

00:20:32.235 --> 00:20:34.315
VIRGINIA: Okay, all right, well, good luck.

00:20:35.115 --> 00:20:36.715
VIRGINIA: All right, let's talk Animal Kingdom.

00:20:36.855 --> 00:20:40.295
VIRGINIA: So Animal Kingdom, you're driving over there.

00:20:40.775 --> 00:20:43.215
VIRGINIA: Are you a rope drop person?

00:20:43.755 --> 00:20:58.575
REBECCA: If it were just me, yes, but relying on kids' wake times and schedules and knowing that we're not going to have early entry because even though this is a good neighbor hotel, it's like not one of the best good neighbor hotels, I guess.

00:20:58.595 --> 00:21:00.415
REBECCA: And so we don't get early park entry.

00:21:01.395 --> 00:21:02.515
REBECCA: But they have shuttles to the parks.

00:21:02.535 --> 00:21:02.935
REBECCA: I don't know.

00:21:03.175 --> 00:21:03.555
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:21:03.795 --> 00:21:09.755
REBECCA: So and I'm like, all worth it for a three bedroom, especially since my family are not early risers.

00:21:10.795 --> 00:21:15.075
REBECCA: So I'm not going to break my neck to get there too early, but I will try.

00:21:15.075 --> 00:21:18.935
REBECCA: I'm going to be getting people up and getting them ready and get there as early as possible.

00:21:19.295 --> 00:21:22.155
REBECCA: Oh, and my husband's not going probably the first day, even though he's there.

00:21:22.835 --> 00:21:23.735
REBECCA: He's just going to skip it.

00:21:24.375 --> 00:21:24.915
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:21:24.915 --> 00:21:26.415
REBECCA: He said he has some work to catch up on.

00:21:26.435 --> 00:21:29.475
REBECCA: And I'm like, well, you have to miss one, then miss Animal Kingdom.

00:21:29.495 --> 00:21:35.235
REBECCA: And it's the most chill and I could probably manage, you know, the best with just myself with the kids.

00:21:35.815 --> 00:21:36.175
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:21:36.355 --> 00:21:39.695
VIRGINIA: Are you going to be utilizing Genie Plus at all on this trip?

00:21:40.055 --> 00:21:41.135
REBECCA: Definitely on the trip.

00:21:41.595 --> 00:21:45.955
REBECCA: Animal Kingdom, it's debatable because I've never had to get it for Animal Kingdom before.

00:21:46.955 --> 00:21:51.895
REBECCA: I think it will have to be get there and see, which normally I buy Genie Plus at midnight the night before.

00:21:51.915 --> 00:21:54.495
REBECCA: But this time, I think I'm going to wait until I get there.

00:21:54.895 --> 00:21:58.955
REBECCA: And then if lines are long for Animal Kingdom, then I might buy it.

00:21:59.455 --> 00:21:59.775
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:21:59.975 --> 00:22:12.675
VIRGINIA: I think with Animal Kingdom also, especially if Kev is staying back to do his work, there are less things you'll be able to ride because you won't have someone to ride or swap with unless your friend has arrived and met you there.

00:22:13.095 --> 00:22:14.875
REBECCA: And I think they're driving in that day.

00:22:14.995 --> 00:22:19.095
REBECCA: So I don't think she'll be there as early as us, but she is meeting us at the park.

00:22:19.535 --> 00:22:23.755
REBECCA: So I'm going to save some of the things like Flight of Passage and Dinosaur.

00:22:23.775 --> 00:22:26.935
REBECCA: I don't know if my five-year-old is tall enough to ride Everest.

00:22:26.955 --> 00:22:27.555
REBECCA: Maybe not.

00:22:27.715 --> 00:22:31.215
REBECCA: And I like roller coasters, but you don't have to do Everest.

00:22:32.435 --> 00:22:36.375
REBECCA: So I'll start with Safari and things that they both can go on.

00:22:36.535 --> 00:22:37.855
REBECCA: Maybe River Journey.

00:22:38.515 --> 00:22:38.915
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:22:38.935 --> 00:22:52.715
VIRGINIA: Especially if you hit that first thing in the morning, everybody else goes to Flight of Passage, but Navi River Journey would be a smart one to do if you're not going to be rope-topping something like Everest instead.

00:22:52.835 --> 00:22:56.155
REBECCA: And we might still buy Lightning Lanes for Flight of Passage.

00:22:56.235 --> 00:22:57.295
REBECCA: That's the only way I've ever done it.

00:22:57.315 --> 00:23:03.135
REBECCA: I don't think I've been in the regular line ever because I love the ride so much that it's like, I can't risk waiting.

00:23:04.075 --> 00:23:04.475
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:23:04.555 --> 00:23:11.175
VIRGINIA: I've only ridden Stand By maybe one time, which might have been because it had just opened.

00:23:11.395 --> 00:23:14.155
VIRGINIA: Other than that, it's been all Lightning Lanes for me.

00:23:14.175 --> 00:23:17.055
REBECCA: I think that's my favorite ride across any of the Disney parks.

00:23:18.055 --> 00:23:21.855
REBECCA: And it's the first time my, or Ollie, it's the first time Ollie can ride that.

00:23:22.215 --> 00:23:25.595
VIRGINIA: So have you measured him to make sure that he'll be tall enough for that?

00:23:25.775 --> 00:23:28.395
REBECCA: Oh man, they don't know about this trip, by the way, it's a secret trip.

00:23:28.855 --> 00:23:29.255
REBECCA: What?

00:23:30.475 --> 00:23:32.115
VIRGINIA: You buried the lead there.

00:23:32.715 --> 00:23:38.775
REBECCA: I mean, they're little kids, I can be talking about it in the same room as them and they don't know this, you know.

00:23:39.695 --> 00:23:44.275
VIRGINIA: So since it's a surprise, how are you going to reveal it to them?

00:23:44.835 --> 00:23:45.435
VIRGINIA: The day of?

00:23:45.735 --> 00:23:54.475
REBECCA: The day of, like the morning of we get in the car and I say we're going somewhere and it's a surprise and I've bought loads of little Disney toys.

00:23:54.475 --> 00:23:58.015
REBECCA: I'm going to load their tablets up with just Disney movies and shows.

00:23:59.495 --> 00:24:02.535
REBECCA: And then I'm going to let them guess where we're going.

00:24:03.115 --> 00:24:03.415
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:24:03.995 --> 00:24:05.775
VIRGINIA: Well, I hope that goes well.

00:24:06.535 --> 00:24:08.335
VIRGINIA: Are they kids who like surprises?

00:24:08.615 --> 00:24:09.015
REBECCA: Yes.

00:24:09.035 --> 00:24:13.155
REBECCA: Well, more so they are kids who ask like, is it here yet?

00:24:13.175 --> 00:24:13.795
REBECCA: Is it here yet?

00:24:14.195 --> 00:24:19.095
REBECCA: You know, every single second if I tell them something exciting that's going to happen.

00:24:19.115 --> 00:24:20.395
REBECCA: So I was trying to avoid that this trip.

00:24:21.275 --> 00:24:21.655
VIRGINIA: Got it.

00:24:21.835 --> 00:24:22.175
VIRGINIA: Got it.

00:24:22.195 --> 00:24:22.475
VIRGINIA: Got it.

00:24:22.975 --> 00:24:23.375
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:24:23.395 --> 00:24:25.935
VIRGINIA: So have you secretly measured, Ollie?

00:24:26.275 --> 00:24:26.595
REBECCA: Yes.

00:24:26.815 --> 00:24:27.755
REBECCA: Oh, yes.

00:24:27.775 --> 00:24:28.675
REBECCA: I've measured them all the time.

00:24:28.695 --> 00:24:29.515
REBECCA: I don't say what it's for.

00:24:29.995 --> 00:24:37.355
REBECCA: I'm like, they know in my spare time I have YouTube up watching ride videos and it's something we can do together and it's wholesome.

00:24:39.215 --> 00:24:41.155
REBECCA: So they said, Oh, can I write that?

00:24:41.175 --> 00:24:42.195
REBECCA: I'm like, let's measure you.

00:24:42.215 --> 00:24:43.915
REBECCA: Let's see if you're tall enough to write it yet.

00:24:44.415 --> 00:24:45.095
VIRGINIA: Oh, that's sweet.

00:24:45.495 --> 00:24:48.415
VIRGINIA: I'm going to guess that they're going to guess very quickly.

00:24:49.075 --> 00:24:49.715
REBECCA: I think so.

00:24:50.035 --> 00:24:50.315
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:24:51.275 --> 00:24:51.695
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:24:52.035 --> 00:24:58.195
VIRGINIA: What are your priorities on holding things to do for when your friends meet up with you?

00:24:58.735 --> 00:25:04.095
VIRGINIA: Is there something specific besides flight of passage that you're like, I need to wait for them?

00:25:04.855 --> 00:25:05.175
REBECCA: Weird.

00:25:05.195 --> 00:25:07.275
REBECCA: I've been to Animal Kingdom quite a few times.

00:25:07.295 --> 00:25:09.315
REBECCA: I've never even been in dino land.

00:25:09.335 --> 00:25:09.915
REBECCA: It's crazy.

00:25:10.015 --> 00:25:14.555
REBECCA: Now that it's going away, I'm the reason it's going away because I'm like, forget that.

00:25:14.575 --> 00:25:15.535
REBECCA: Don't need to do that.

00:25:16.155 --> 00:25:17.855
REBECCA: But I want to ride dinosaur.

00:25:17.895 --> 00:25:21.175
REBECCA: I've never ridden it and Ollie is tall enough to ride it with me.

00:25:22.135 --> 00:25:25.735
REBECCA: I'll wait for my friend to get there so she can help watch the younger ones.

00:25:26.315 --> 00:25:26.695
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:25:27.255 --> 00:25:27.575
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:25:27.615 --> 00:25:31.295
VIRGINIA: It can be scary for younger kids, so hopefully he'll be good with it.

00:25:31.375 --> 00:25:32.435
VIRGINIA: I love dinosaur.

00:25:32.715 --> 00:25:34.375
VIRGINIA: I am a dinosaur stan.

00:25:34.735 --> 00:25:39.595
VIRGINIA: I'm also very excited for the possibility of Indiana Jones, so that's great.

00:25:39.995 --> 00:25:45.495
VIRGINIA: But I will tell you, I don't love Dinoland USA as a land.

00:25:46.195 --> 00:25:56.255
VIRGINIA: And part of it is that the theming is so good that it looks like any roadside carnival you've ever been to in your childhood in North Carolina.

00:25:56.515 --> 00:25:57.695
REBECCA: That's probably why I skipped it.

00:25:58.135 --> 00:25:58.455
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:25:58.475 --> 00:25:59.535
REBECCA: I'm like, oh, I've seen this.

00:26:00.835 --> 00:26:08.815
VIRGINIA: You walk in and it's like the pavement is cracked and there's like old paint on the ground where you can see like parking spaces used to be and-

00:26:08.835 --> 00:26:10.435
REBECCA: Yeah, it's like North Carolina State Fair.

00:26:10.735 --> 00:26:11.475
VIRGINIA: Exactly.

00:26:11.675 --> 00:26:12.375
VIRGINIA: Exactly.

00:26:13.455 --> 00:26:16.075
VIRGINIA: So it's never been my favorite land.

00:26:16.095 --> 00:26:20.715
VIRGINIA: Also, when it's really hot, there's like hardly any shade over there.

00:26:20.835 --> 00:26:22.675
VIRGINIA: So that's a little annoying.

00:26:22.935 --> 00:26:26.655
REBECCA: I know that the Boneyard Playground area is over there.

00:26:26.815 --> 00:26:35.535
REBECCA: So maybe we'll check out the Boneyard and there's so many things and like, I know everyone says again, Lakeen is a half day park, but we haven't done so many things before and we've been a few times.

00:26:35.555 --> 00:26:38.535
REBECCA: Like I've never done Rafiki's Planet Watch, the train thing.

00:26:38.555 --> 00:26:39.335
VIRGINIA: Oh yeah.

00:26:39.355 --> 00:26:39.875
REBECCA: Never been on that.

00:26:39.895 --> 00:26:42.375
REBECCA: Never been to the Lion King show or the Nemo show.

00:26:42.435 --> 00:26:44.915
REBECCA: Like we always prioritize rides and never do the shows.

00:26:45.695 --> 00:26:47.255
REBECCA: So prioritizing shows this time.

00:26:47.555 --> 00:26:49.695
VIRGINIA: People do say that it's a half day park.

00:26:49.715 --> 00:26:59.375
VIRGINIA: And I think if you are a ride person, I can see how that might be, but I could totally make a whole day out of Animal Kingdom.

00:26:59.395 --> 00:27:17.555
VIRGINIA: And I think that one of the things that I love about Animal Kingdom is that even though there are rides to do and I use my Genie Plus or whatever to get to be able to do those without too much of a wait, there's something about that park that just feels more relaxed and laid back to me.

00:27:17.855 --> 00:27:18.155
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:27:18.495 --> 00:27:26.835
REBECCA: I'm looking forward to starting with that one and kind of easing our way into the trip and after a long car ride, starting out with a more leisurely park.

00:27:27.315 --> 00:27:31.175
VIRGINIA: And it closes earlier, so you're guaranteed not to be out too late.

00:27:31.855 --> 00:27:33.495
VIRGINIA: Do you have any dining plans for this day?

00:27:33.915 --> 00:27:34.215
REBECCA: No.

00:27:34.235 --> 00:27:38.975
REBECCA: And in fact, this is one of the first trips that we haven't booked any dining, all quick service.

00:27:39.395 --> 00:27:42.175
REBECCA: Just sitting down with toddlers is a nightmare.

00:27:42.295 --> 00:27:43.355
REBECCA: Like we hate it.

00:27:43.535 --> 00:27:45.015
REBECCA: So let's avoid that.

00:27:46.095 --> 00:27:49.795
VIRGINIA: It also takes up a lot of time, so you have to just determine what's worth it for you.

00:27:49.815 --> 00:27:54.395
VIRGINIA: And because you only have three park days, you know, I think that's definitely a smart move.

00:27:55.095 --> 00:27:55.535
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:27:55.695 --> 00:28:00.035
VIRGINIA: So Wednesday, May 29th, which park will you be heading to that day?

00:28:00.355 --> 00:28:01.015
REBECCA: Ebbcott.

00:28:02.215 --> 00:28:03.795
REBECCA: This is probably my favorite park.

00:28:03.875 --> 00:28:14.795
REBECCA: And it's the one like the honeymoon, like, and I've been to Ebbcott without going on a single ride before, drinking around the world for kids.

00:28:15.515 --> 00:28:19.715
VIRGINIA: What are you going to be doing around the world with two young kids?

00:28:20.255 --> 00:28:22.075
VIRGINIA: Are you going to do any of the KitKat stations?

00:28:22.735 --> 00:28:24.395
REBECCA: I've never done those.

00:28:24.415 --> 00:28:25.575
REBECCA: And I don't know.

00:28:25.595 --> 00:28:26.055
REBECCA: I don't know.

00:28:26.075 --> 00:28:32.255
REBECCA: It might be, that's another like animal kingdom and doing the Wilderness Explorer.

00:28:32.275 --> 00:28:35.675
REBECCA: I guess if we're like, if our kids are bored and we're looking for things to do, we might.

00:28:35.735 --> 00:28:40.295
REBECCA: But otherwise, and then I'll just do what I want to do, go along with it.

00:28:41.815 --> 00:28:50.515
REBECCA: Me and Ollie went to Epcot after hours, the night that we flew in, our flight arrived at like 6 p.m.

00:28:50.635 --> 00:28:56.755
REBECCA: and we got to Art of Animation, checked in and then went over by Skyliner to Epcot by 7 p.m.

00:28:57.355 --> 00:29:00.815
REBECCA: and went for the after hours the day before Mickey's Not So Scary.

00:29:01.455 --> 00:29:02.975
REBECCA: And so we did it pretty recently.

00:29:02.995 --> 00:29:03.695
REBECCA: He did do Guardians.

00:29:04.615 --> 00:29:05.915
REBECCA: I'm definitely going to do Guardians again.

00:29:05.955 --> 00:29:08.895
REBECCA: He was not a fan, he was terrified.

00:29:08.895 --> 00:29:10.555
REBECCA: He gets scared pretty easily.

00:29:10.575 --> 00:29:13.855
REBECCA: He's willing to do anything once, but then he's done.

00:29:13.995 --> 00:29:15.355
REBECCA: Like Tower of Terror, nope.

00:29:15.755 --> 00:29:18.615
REBECCA: He still talks about it today and he went on it when he was three.

00:29:18.635 --> 00:29:20.215
VIRGINIA: Oh, he was three when he went on it?

00:29:20.715 --> 00:29:22.135
VIRGINIA: Oh, he must have been a tall three year old.

00:29:22.515 --> 00:29:26.595
REBECCA: Yeah, he was a tall three year old and now he's very average height.

00:29:28.375 --> 00:29:32.915
REBECCA: But another one that they're weirdly scared of is the Ratatouille ride.

00:29:33.915 --> 00:29:35.075
REBECCA: They will not go on it.

00:29:35.095 --> 00:29:43.215
REBECCA: They went on it when they were one in three and both of them still talk about the scary hand that reaches in to grab you in the ride.

00:29:43.235 --> 00:29:44.815
REBECCA: I'm like, that's not a scary ride.

00:29:47.195 --> 00:29:49.655
VIRGINIA: Well, eventually you'll get them back on it.

00:29:51.915 --> 00:29:54.015
REBECCA: Paris has one, so I'm like, I'm fine.

00:29:54.035 --> 00:29:56.135
REBECCA: I'm not going to force them to do things this trip.

00:29:56.715 --> 00:29:57.055
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:29:57.515 --> 00:29:59.415
REBECCA: Knowing I can just do them later.

00:30:00.015 --> 00:30:13.215
VIRGINIA: Well, I would recommend that you stop and get the KitKat supplies or whatever, which I can't remember if you can just get them at any country or you have to get them there at the front of World Showcase.

00:30:13.215 --> 00:30:16.615
VIRGINIA: But that way, if you pass a KitKat station, you can do it.

00:30:16.635 --> 00:30:23.695
VIRGINIA: The good thing about it is you do the ones you see that you want to do and then skip the other ones and it's just something to add to your day.

00:30:24.795 --> 00:30:27.255
VIRGINIA: Will your husband ride Guardians?

00:30:27.755 --> 00:30:28.715
REBECCA: No, absolutely not.

00:30:30.795 --> 00:30:32.135
REBECCA: He's not a big thrill ride person.

00:30:32.155 --> 00:30:34.815
REBECCA: He gets feeling queasy.

00:30:35.815 --> 00:30:36.155
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:30:37.395 --> 00:30:42.295
VIRGINIA: So anything else that's a priority for you on your Epcot day?

00:30:42.655 --> 00:30:43.895
REBECCA: Test track for sure.

00:30:44.975 --> 00:30:49.255
REBECCA: My youngest Owen is right on the verge of 40 inches.

00:30:49.275 --> 00:30:59.055
REBECCA: So I doubt they'll let him on it, but I'm going to try to put him on to at least get a measure to see if he can go on like Soarin and Test Track, because I think he would really like those.

00:30:59.075 --> 00:31:01.755
REBECCA: And Test Track is being reimagined pretty soon.

00:31:01.775 --> 00:31:05.255
REBECCA: So this is definitely the last chance to go on Test Track as it is.

00:31:05.615 --> 00:31:10.415
VIRGINIA: I just recently heard, I haven't had to think about this in a while, obviously, because Alex is 13 years old.

00:31:11.435 --> 00:31:17.195
VIRGINIA: But I just heard recently that kids' spines compress during the day.

00:31:17.215 --> 00:31:27.415
VIRGINIA: And so I would encourage you any of these rides where it's sort of like on the border as to whether they'll fit or not, try to see if they can be measured at the beginning of the day.

00:31:27.795 --> 00:31:30.535
VIRGINIA: Because that is when I understand that kids are at their tallest.

00:31:31.655 --> 00:31:35.435
REBECCA: That is a good tip because I feel like most of the time I measure them at home, they're at their shortest.

00:31:35.995 --> 00:31:37.875
REBECCA: Or it's later in the day.

00:31:37.935 --> 00:31:38.215
VIRGINIA: Right.

00:31:38.235 --> 00:31:39.495
REBECCA: They probably are at their shortest.

00:31:40.155 --> 00:31:41.615
VIRGINIA: They're at their shortest, yes.

00:31:43.875 --> 00:31:48.135
VIRGINIA: And the friends that are coming to meet you, I don't think we've called them by name yet.

00:31:48.555 --> 00:31:49.355
REBECCA: Her name is Taylor.

00:31:49.655 --> 00:31:50.295
VIRGINIA: Is she Swift?

00:31:50.615 --> 00:31:52.195
REBECCA: No, but I'm sure she's a fan.

00:31:54.275 --> 00:31:56.095
VIRGINIA: And how many kids did you say she has?

00:31:56.915 --> 00:31:57.875
REBECCA: She has three.

00:31:59.135 --> 00:32:06.495
REBECCA: So between us, yeah, between both of us, we will basically have a one, two, three, four, five-year-old, all boys.

00:32:07.075 --> 00:32:07.655
VIRGINIA: Wow.

00:32:08.955 --> 00:32:09.475
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:32:09.875 --> 00:32:11.815
VIRGINIA: So that will be interesting.

00:32:13.715 --> 00:32:18.415
VIRGINIA: What time do you think that she'll meet up with you to join you at Epcot?

00:32:19.835 --> 00:32:21.195
REBECCA: They're staying on site.

00:32:21.215 --> 00:32:25.495
REBECCA: So I think they'll get there probably around the same time as us.

00:32:25.515 --> 00:32:28.155
REBECCA: They do have early park entry, but I don't know if she's going to utilize it.

00:32:29.955 --> 00:32:33.475
REBECCA: So, okay, we probably will get there around the same time in the morning.

00:32:33.835 --> 00:32:34.135
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:32:34.155 --> 00:32:35.535
VIRGINIA: And it's just her and the kids, right?

00:32:36.115 --> 00:32:37.155
REBECCA: Her husband will also be there.

00:32:37.595 --> 00:32:37.975
REBECCA: Oh, okay.

00:32:37.995 --> 00:32:40.735
REBECCA: Hopefully the husbands can hang out and won't be so miserable.

00:32:42.055 --> 00:32:42.695
VIRGINIA: Fantastic.

00:32:42.995 --> 00:32:45.235
VIRGINIA: So that's nine people total in your party.

00:32:45.975 --> 00:32:46.835
VIRGINIA: It's a big group.

00:32:46.855 --> 00:32:46.995
REBECCA: Yes.

00:32:47.435 --> 00:32:47.675
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:32:47.695 --> 00:32:59.555
REBECCA: And I think maybe we will split up some, especially like the older kids, like the five, I don't know if he's four or five yet, but he can ride some of the taller rides and Ollie can ride some of the taller rides.

00:32:59.575 --> 00:33:07.855
REBECCA: I think they'll probably mainly be a group of the smaller kids and a group of the thrill ride people, which include me and Taylor.

00:33:07.875 --> 00:33:09.875
REBECCA: And I think the husbands aren't big thrill ride people.

00:33:10.115 --> 00:33:10.895
VIRGINIA: Well, that works out.

00:33:10.915 --> 00:33:21.375
VIRGINIA: And I think when you have a group that big, it's kind of nice to do some things separately, come back together and just have like little touch points during the day when you are all together as a group.

00:33:22.235 --> 00:33:27.055
VIRGINIA: But it would be a challenge to all nine of you stay together the entire day.

00:33:27.055 --> 00:33:28.035
VIRGINIA: That's just a lot.

00:33:28.195 --> 00:33:29.255
REBECCA: And I did talk to her about it.

00:33:29.275 --> 00:33:36.455
REBECCA: I'm like, do we want to link our Genie Pluses or, you know, like an all book together or like if it just happens to work out, it works out, you know?

00:33:36.995 --> 00:33:38.555
REBECCA: And I don't know if we've decided yet.

00:33:39.595 --> 00:33:41.415
REBECCA: I think in maybe some parks we do.

00:33:41.555 --> 00:33:44.775
REBECCA: The harder parks like Hollywood Studios, maybe Epcot.

00:33:44.775 --> 00:33:48.375
REBECCA: But then since we don't even know if we're buying it in Animal Kingdom, we're just not going to worry about it.

00:33:48.395 --> 00:33:51.835
REBECCA: And there's so few rides, like if we break apart, it's not a big deal.

00:33:52.555 --> 00:33:59.415
VIRGINIA: I think that as long as you're friends on My Disney Experience, is there anything that you would have to link on Genie Plus?

00:33:59.855 --> 00:34:05.055
VIRGINIA: Or will the system just offer them as options when you're trying to pick something?

00:34:05.375 --> 00:34:09.155
REBECCA: If we're friends, and I think we already are friends on the My Disney Experience app.

00:34:09.255 --> 00:34:13.515
REBECCA: And when I did it with my in-laws, yes, I had like a party of 13 or 14.

00:34:13.935 --> 00:34:17.715
REBECCA: But it sometimes was annoying because we weren't all hardly all together at once.

00:34:17.735 --> 00:34:21.835
REBECCA: So if I wanted to put something, I'm like, unselect, unselect, unselect to just get my party.

00:34:22.255 --> 00:34:26.535
REBECCA: And then if like a grandparent joined us later, they're like, oh, you haven't written that?

00:34:26.555 --> 00:34:27.395
REBECCA: I've already written that.

00:34:27.735 --> 00:34:31.855
REBECCA: But now I can't go on it with you because I've already used my Genie Plus on it.

00:34:31.915 --> 00:34:34.535
REBECCA: So it makes logistics a bit harder.

00:34:34.915 --> 00:34:39.135
VIRGINIA: Well, you'll figure it out as you go along what's going to work best for you.

00:34:39.155 --> 00:34:43.575
VIRGINIA: I didn't ask, but you have a lot of younger kids with you.

00:34:44.215 --> 00:34:46.055
VIRGINIA: Will you be using a stroller?

00:34:46.215 --> 00:34:59.375
REBECCA: I literally bought one on Facebook Marketplace today, a sit and stand one because I have a ZOE very small travel stroller, and then I have a wagon, which we love our wagon, but obviously you can't use a wagon at Disney.

00:35:00.375 --> 00:35:10.075
REBECCA: And I'm just imagining my five-year-old walking all day, and I don't need a 95-degree heat because I looked up the 10-day forecast, and I'm like, I don't think he's going to do it.

00:35:10.135 --> 00:35:19.255
REBECCA: And so I finally just bought a sit and stand one because there's at least a bench seat where he could sit if needed, but it's not a big heavy double stroller that I have to lug around.

00:35:19.875 --> 00:35:21.275
REBECCA: So yes, I am going to bring that.

00:35:22.295 --> 00:35:22.695
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:35:22.955 --> 00:35:23.215
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:35:23.235 --> 00:35:30.315
VIRGINIA: When Alex went to Disney for the first time, he was five and I rented a stroller for his first trip because I was like, there's no way he can walk that far.

00:35:30.475 --> 00:35:31.875
VIRGINIA: That's a lot of walking.

00:35:33.555 --> 00:35:36.035
VIRGINIA: So Thursday must be your Hollywood Studios Day.

00:35:36.815 --> 00:35:37.835
REBECCA: Yes.

00:35:37.935 --> 00:35:43.035
REBECCA: I did it that way because I'm on Memorial Day, it's Monday.

00:35:43.055 --> 00:35:45.595
REBECCA: I'm like, man, is it going to be crazy busy?

00:35:45.915 --> 00:35:49.115
REBECCA: So Animal Kingdom is the least busy park.

00:35:50.475 --> 00:35:54.055
REBECCA: Then Epcot, the last day of the Flower and Garden was Monday.

00:35:54.075 --> 00:36:04.475
REBECCA: So I hoped it wouldn't be very busy on Wednesday and I figured we'd be drinking and eating quite a bit that day and might want to sleep in the next morning.

00:36:05.135 --> 00:36:14.235
REBECCA: And I'm of the opinion, I don't want to be all day with little kids at Hollywood Studios and I really want to see Fantasmic.

00:36:14.255 --> 00:36:16.955
REBECCA: I've never seen it and our family hasn't seen it before.

00:36:17.035 --> 00:36:18.875
REBECCA: So we really need to make it till the end of the day.

00:36:19.395 --> 00:36:24.775
REBECCA: So I'm going to try to go in a little later, like late morning, maybe like 10.30 is my goal.

00:36:25.955 --> 00:36:26.375
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:36:26.855 --> 00:36:32.875
VIRGINIA: Will you be planning to have any pool time at the resort while you're there?

00:36:33.695 --> 00:36:34.215
REBECCA: Yes.

00:36:34.455 --> 00:36:44.555
REBECCA: So probably that the first day or night, and then definitely after Animal Kingdom because it closes early, we might not even stay until close.

00:36:46.895 --> 00:36:48.455
REBECCA: Yeah, I think we'll definitely have some pool time.

00:36:48.475 --> 00:36:51.915
REBECCA: I think there's like a pirate ship and splash pads and stuff like that.

00:36:54.515 --> 00:36:54.855
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:36:54.875 --> 00:36:58.915
VIRGINIA: For Hollywood Studios, what are your priorities beyond Fantasmic?

00:36:59.435 --> 00:37:00.575
VIRGINIA: Are you a Star Wars fan?

00:37:01.615 --> 00:37:05.975
REBECCA: I am a Star Wars fan, but like recent Star Wars, like Mandalorian.

00:37:06.595 --> 00:37:09.915
REBECCA: That's my priority is meeting Mandalorian and Grogu.

00:37:12.895 --> 00:37:16.875
VIRGINIA: I have not gotten the chance to meet them yet, but Grogu is the cutest.

00:37:17.015 --> 00:37:19.635
VIRGINIA: So what about Kev?

00:37:19.795 --> 00:37:20.715
VIRGINIA: Is he a Star Wars fan?

00:37:21.375 --> 00:37:22.575
REBECCA: He's not not a Star Wars fan.

00:37:22.595 --> 00:37:23.915
REBECCA: So it's equally to me.

00:37:23.935 --> 00:37:26.215
REBECCA: We watch those together, like Mandalorian.

00:37:26.235 --> 00:37:27.235
REBECCA: We started as Sokka.

00:37:27.255 --> 00:37:28.415
REBECCA: I don't think we finished it.

00:37:28.415 --> 00:37:28.735
REBECCA: But.

00:37:30.395 --> 00:37:31.935
VIRGINIA: There's so many spin-offs these days.

00:37:31.955 --> 00:37:33.615
VIRGINIA: It's like, how do you keep up with all of them?

00:37:33.855 --> 00:37:35.095
REBECCA: That's not possible.

00:37:35.095 --> 00:37:40.355
REBECCA: I don't even know which ones we've watched and which ones we haven't, and then Bad Batch, but isn't Bad Batch a cartoon?

00:37:40.375 --> 00:37:41.755
REBECCA: So I don't know.

00:37:41.755 --> 00:37:43.735
VIRGINIA: I don't even know if I'm caught up on the Mandalorian.

00:37:43.755 --> 00:37:47.195
VIRGINIA: Like we watched the first maybe two seasons.

00:37:47.235 --> 00:37:48.995
VIRGINIA: I don't even know how many seasons there are.

00:37:49.015 --> 00:37:50.015
REBECCA: They're making a movie now.

00:37:50.815 --> 00:37:51.295
VIRGINIA: They are?

00:37:51.615 --> 00:37:52.055
VIRGINIA: Yes.

00:37:52.515 --> 00:37:53.675
VIRGINIA: Oh, I did not know this.

00:37:54.475 --> 00:37:56.395
REBECCA: I'm a huge Pedro Pascal fan.

00:37:57.595 --> 00:37:59.275
VIRGINIA: Did you watch The Last of Us?

00:37:59.355 --> 00:37:59.995
REBECCA: Yes.

00:38:01.375 --> 00:38:04.655
REBECCA: They're making a new season of that too.

00:38:04.735 --> 00:38:05.575
VIRGINIA: It's so good.

00:38:05.595 --> 00:38:06.235
VIRGINIA: Oh my gosh.

00:38:06.255 --> 00:38:11.255
VIRGINIA: I have never cried harder than that one episode, and I'm sure you know which episode I'm talking about.

00:38:11.255 --> 00:38:11.555
REBECCA: Yeah.

00:38:11.575 --> 00:38:19.235
REBECCA: I'm as willing to put myself through Hollywood Horror Nights or Halloween Horror Nights just for The Last of Us stuff, or stardier things.

00:38:19.255 --> 00:38:19.895
REBECCA: Love that too.

00:38:19.915 --> 00:38:20.615
VIRGINIA: Uh-huh.

00:38:20.695 --> 00:38:21.475
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:38:21.715 --> 00:38:22.155
VIRGINIA: So good.

00:38:22.795 --> 00:38:23.255
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:38:23.675 --> 00:38:25.055
VIRGINIA: What about the kids?

00:38:25.075 --> 00:38:27.875
VIRGINIA: What are you excited for them to be able to do in Hollywood Studios?

00:38:28.975 --> 00:38:35.875
REBECCA: They've never done Rise of Resistance, and I think they're both tall enough for it because I think the height is surprisingly, like it's under 40 inches, right?

00:38:35.895 --> 00:38:36.895
REBECCA: It's like 38 maybe?

00:38:36.915 --> 00:38:37.675
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:38:37.695 --> 00:38:38.295
REBECCA: Maybe it's 40.

00:38:38.555 --> 00:38:42.795
VIRGINIA: I don't think it's super tall because it's not a wild, crazy ride.

00:38:42.815 --> 00:38:43.775
VIRGINIA: It's more dramatic.

00:38:44.855 --> 00:38:46.515
REBECCA: I definitely want them to experience that.

00:38:46.535 --> 00:38:49.715
REBECCA: I don't know if I'll buy a Lightning Lane for it.

00:38:50.475 --> 00:38:52.755
REBECCA: I forgot to mention a vital part of this trip.

00:38:53.195 --> 00:38:53.555
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:38:54.395 --> 00:38:55.615
REBECCA: So Disney bounding.

00:38:56.435 --> 00:38:56.875
VIRGINIA: You are?

00:38:56.895 --> 00:38:57.315
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:38:57.335 --> 00:38:57.595
REBECCA: Yes.

00:38:57.595 --> 00:39:03.095
REBECCA: I'm not making my kids do it because that's too much trouble and they don't care, and my husband definitely doesn't want to.

00:39:03.215 --> 00:39:09.455
REBECCA: But for Animal Kingdom, I am bounding as Groot because he's a tree and it's the tree park.

00:39:10.415 --> 00:39:11.635
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:39:11.635 --> 00:39:15.595
REBECCA: Then Hollywood Studios, I'm doing R2D2.

00:39:15.615 --> 00:39:21.715
REBECCA: I have the ears and the R2D2 belt and stuff on a white athletic dress.

00:39:21.735 --> 00:39:37.075
REBECCA: Then I haven't decided what I'm doing for Epcot, maybe Joy from Inside Out because I'm actually having a shirt made for my oldest for his birthday as a core memory day with his age on it being made for that.

00:39:38.955 --> 00:39:39.335
VIRGINIA: Cool.

00:39:39.355 --> 00:39:41.135
VIRGINIA: I cannot wait to see these outfits then.

00:39:41.155 --> 00:39:42.715
VIRGINIA: I'd love a good Disney round.

00:39:43.275 --> 00:39:45.235
VIRGINIA: Yeah.

00:39:45.375 --> 00:39:45.735
VIRGINIA: All right.

00:39:45.755 --> 00:39:48.875
VIRGINIA: Anything else for Thursday, May 30th?

00:39:48.895 --> 00:39:50.155
REBECCA: That's a Hollywood Studios day.

00:39:50.175 --> 00:39:51.995
REBECCA: Oh, it's Slinky Dog.

00:39:52.355 --> 00:39:53.815
REBECCA: My kids have never been on Slinky Dog.

00:39:54.215 --> 00:39:55.755
REBECCA: Definitely want to make that a priority.

00:39:55.775 --> 00:39:57.655
REBECCA: That would be the first Genie Plus we book.

00:39:58.295 --> 00:40:01.375
VIRGINIA: Oh, yeah, for sure, you have to, otherwise it's gone.

00:40:02.715 --> 00:40:07.815
VIRGINIA: Do you think that they will be into a coaster like that?

00:40:08.895 --> 00:40:09.815
REBECCA: Yes.

00:40:09.835 --> 00:40:17.895
REBECCA: I know I said that they were scared of roomies, but it's not like the thrill rides that make them scared.

00:40:17.975 --> 00:40:22.775
REBECCA: It's the scary elements, trying to excite you in a ride that scares them.

00:40:23.235 --> 00:40:23.515
VIRGINIA: Okay.

00:40:24.375 --> 00:40:30.635
REBECCA: Now I'm saying that, I'm kind of worried they might be scared of rides and resistance.

00:40:31.255 --> 00:40:35.955
REBECCA: I'm willing to traumatize them once, but I won't force them to go on things again.

00:40:37.155 --> 00:40:51.975
VIRGINIA: Just make sure you make it clear to them, it's all pretend, and maybe help them think of some sassy things to say back to the cast members as they're taking them prisoner to sort of feel like they're in charge.

00:40:53.655 --> 00:40:56.315
VIRGINIA: So, Friday, May the 31st is your departure day.

00:40:57.255 --> 00:41:03.115
VIRGINIA: Are you going to be leaving early in the morning or do you have any plans with your friends before you take off?

00:41:03.355 --> 00:41:06.575
REBECCA: We actually have plans with a different set of friends who live in St.

00:41:06.595 --> 00:41:07.275
REBECCA: Augustine.

00:41:07.295 --> 00:41:15.055
REBECCA: And so that was another reason we decided to drive rather than fly because we're doing a boat day with them around noon.

00:41:15.075 --> 00:41:16.915
REBECCA: So we are leaving pretty early to drive to St.

00:41:16.935 --> 00:41:23.055
REBECCA: Augustine and then going to stay with them Friday and Saturday night before the long drive back.

00:41:23.075 --> 00:41:23.935
REBECCA: But it is a shorter drive.

00:41:23.955 --> 00:41:25.015
REBECCA: It's like kind of on the way.

00:41:25.275 --> 00:41:31.275
REBECCA: Like, it's only like a seven hour drive back rather than eight and a half.

00:41:31.295 --> 00:41:34.855
VIRGINIA: It doesn't cut that much time off, but I hear that St.

00:41:34.875 --> 00:41:36.015
VIRGINIA: Augustine is beautiful.

00:41:36.035 --> 00:41:39.555
VIRGINIA: So that sounds like a nice way to to wrap up the trip.

00:41:40.295 --> 00:41:44.615
VIRGINIA: All right, well, I am very excited to hear how all of this goes.

00:41:44.895 --> 00:41:51.555
VIRGINIA: I hope that you travel safely and that you have the most magical trip and make sure you get lots of good photos for us.

00:41:52.415 --> 00:41:53.655
