Speaker 1:

We were there for opening day of Epcot Festival the Arts. We'll share reviews of some of the food and drinks available at the food studios throughout the park Plus. There's news and more on episode 176 of the Mickey Phall podcast.

Speaker 2:

["The Mickey Phall Podcast"]. Ahoy everyone. ["the Mickey Phall Podcast"]. It's another episode of the Mickey Phall podcast. I'm Scott, and with me is my lovely wife Karen. Hello everybody, I'm in like sailor mode.

Speaker 1:

You are. This house is in sailor mode right now.

Speaker 2:

Kinda is. There's stuff everywhere. There really is. It's not that bad. No, hopefully all the clothes we've ordered will get here before the cruise ship leaves. Actually before we leave to go over, yeah, Well, I think we're at three days, yeah, no, four days, four days, yeah, so get excited about it.

Speaker 1:

I'm getting excited and I'm getting stressed of trying to make sure we have everything.

Speaker 2:

If we don't, we'll just do it without.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

We'll either do laundry or just spend a day in the room wrapped up in our robes or something. I don't know, I don't know, I don't know. Yeah, we did Festival of the Arts this week. We did. We got big news about DVC. Big news, big for some of us anyway.

Speaker 1:

Yes, big news.

Speaker 2:

I'm actually excited about it. Yeah, I am. I am too. I know we're in our seventh month window. I'm sorry, we're within our seven month window, yeah, just saying. Yeah, true.

Speaker 1:

You're correct.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we have a trip in July. I'm just saying.

Speaker 1:

But technically we cannot book until a later date and we'll bring that up later. They have the dates list.

Speaker 2:

Of course.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Breaking the rules already and they haven't even opened the cabinets. Yeah, we did Epcot. And then you went back and hung out with our friend Amanda and her family and the roads and that family I know, and I stayed home and listened to reggae and salsa music all day long.

Speaker 1:

I was there much later than I'd initially planned to be the second day. It was a long day, it was.

Speaker 2:

It was fun, though there is one thing that I forgot all about what you forgot it actually hadn't shown up, like the website we used to track things has not really been working for the last several weeks, but in November we got a review. We did in November, yeah, and I just found out about it. Okay, like yesterday. Okay.

Speaker 2:

So S-A-L-F-777, thank you very much. It's a very nice review. Thank you, just listen. Karen and Scott put out a great podcast every week. They're in the parks regularly. Their opinions are always fair and they give you great tips from locals who are there often and experienced it. They give you their honest opinions. If they don't like something, they'll tell you, and if they think something is good, they'll tell you. They're DVC members as well and help you navigate the DVC world. I don't think you can find a more informative, honest podcast. Plus, they're just downright fun and easy to listen to. Like I said in the title, just listen, you'll enjoy it.

Speaker 1:

Well, thank you so much.

Speaker 2:

Thank you, thank you very, very much.

Speaker 1:

That was very nice. Whoever you are, whoever you are, please email us if you want it, if we'd love to say thank you in person or personal. We appreciate that we do. Thank you very much.

Speaker 2:

The website's been all messed up for like a while. First our hosting website was messed up and then this got messed up. It's been weird. It is weird, yeah, but anyway, thank you. Yes, that cleaned up a mess. So that was our housekeeping.

Speaker 1:

That's our housekeeping.

Speaker 2:

So why don't we start the news All?

Speaker 1:

right. Well, disney World today teased a new quote Moana annual past magnet coming soon. It was actually just a little little video and it shows like Maui pushing a magnet. It was actually kind of cute, oh so.

Speaker 2:

So is it gonna be a Maui magnet?

Speaker 1:

I don't know. That's why they put in quotes Moana. I don't know if it's Moana, if it's Maui, if it's to they already did a hey magnet right. No no.

Speaker 2:

No, oh, it was Oswald. I knew it was something that our friends really wanted.

Speaker 1:

Yes. Yeah it was.

Speaker 2:

Oswald.

Speaker 1:

Right, so Well, that's cool, yeah. So I'm kind of excited to see what it is.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and where it'll fit in on the refrigerator.

Speaker 1:

Well, I've started. I've actually started the side of another refrigerator because I filled up all of our one. Wow, Well, but it's not all.

Speaker 2:

Disney magnets, Well and it's also a stainless steel fridge, so we don't have sound like, we have the whole refrigerator.

Speaker 1:

Right, it's just the side.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

So, but again, it's not all Disney Right, it's 90% Disney.

Speaker 2:

They've done a lot of pass holder magnets the last couple of years.

Speaker 1:

They really have. They really have. Yeah, well, I think they do like two or three a year about that Mm-hmm. So it adds up pretty quick. Oh, cali River Rapids at Disney's Animal Kingdom is scheduled to reopen March 16th.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I don't, didn't even know it was closed.

Speaker 1:

Well, they always do the big reefer when it's cold.

Speaker 2:

So every year Making it cold. Yeah, I'm glad we're getting out of here, yeah, yeah. So I woke up this morning and I asked the thing that if I say her name right now, she'll start talking. She'll tell me what the weather is. But I asked what the weather was right. Right, it was 70 degrees. The high today was 73, lowest 40. It wasn't 40 between midnight and 7 am. No, that means it's 10 night, yeah, and it's 61 right now. Yeah, it's just gonna drop At eight o'clock, but it is supposed to be 40 by like four in the morning, which technically is not today. But that's what she told me.

Speaker 1:

Right so all I know is, before it rained today, I made sure that there was plenty of wood inside, because I'm starting to fire in the morning.

Speaker 2:

I was actually looking for cruise weather and interesting virgin islands are like high of 79, low of 79 right now, but Castaway Key is in the 60s, low 60s, oh, like 61, 62, high.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we have to plan on bringing jackets or cover.

Speaker 2:

Well, if it's gonna be like that, we're gonna have to plan on like two completely different sets of clothes.

Speaker 1:

I know. Well good thing, we have large suitcases.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, all right, and Pluto meet and greet and returns to Dinow Land, usa, at Disney's Animal Kingdom.

Speaker 2:

So where we don't go, there very often.

Speaker 1:

No, we don't.

Speaker 2:

So I only know of the one where, like Donald, always is, and that's just because you walked by it on the way to Restaurant Osorys.

Speaker 1:

Right, and I'm guessing it's probably gonna be around there. There's not much in Dinoland, there's not, so I would think maybe it's the same one, maybe they just flip back and forth, I don't know. That one, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

Wonder if they make any money on those games at all.

Speaker 1:

You know, I don't know.

Speaker 2:

When I was young, Bush Gardens had a whole area of the park like that. There was those games.

Speaker 1:

They still do.

Speaker 2:

No, now they have a place you walk through on the way to somewhere else that has like four of them. Oh, okay, I mean they used to have the all the carnival games you can't win. Try to make a basket, judge your speed. The one where you shoot a water gun and make the horses run Like a fishing game, all kinds of stuff. Now they have like three things on the way to where the festivals are at Bush Gardens, right? So I don't know, I think they're phasing those out. I think they're cool on the boardwalk.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, no, they're cool on the boardwalk. I just don't know, because they fit the boardwalk. It fits boardwalk? Yes.

Speaker 2:

But I'm not sure that it needs to be in the park anyway.

Speaker 1:

Right Actually.

Speaker 2:

Go ahead and take it out and start putting in the incanto stuff.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it's. Guests can meet Pluto in the mornings behind Chester and Hester's dinosaur treasures. He's there till about 1130.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so for like two hours, two and a half.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

Run, don't walk. Yes, Okay. Well, that's weird yeah.

Speaker 1:

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival is one month shorter this year than previous years. It's from February 28th to May 27th. It's a total of 90 days long, and then Garden Rock's dining packages opens for booking on February 6th. So one of the new things they're adding this year is a Groot topiary is gonna be added near the guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind pavilion.

Speaker 2:

So a tree.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, groot's a tree, but they showed a preview of it. He's actually holding a giant cassette tape.

Speaker 2:

It's really cool looking, it's kinda cool, but it would be kind of funny just to put a name plate on any one of the trees and go Groot, that would be awesome. See, that's what they have to do. You're so funny. Speaking of nevermind, I've been trying to convince our friend Jason to do like a thing on our show. Okay, so like every week, have him come in and like get all fired up about something at Disney and then realize he's wrong and just go nevermind.

Speaker 1:

Oh, so he's doing Emily Luton.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but I don't know that anybody remembers. I don't know if anybody remembers that, though, but it'd be funny to me, which is what actually matters. Yes, so I've now called Jason out, yeah.

Speaker 1:

So ha ha.

Speaker 2:

I'm sure we'll hear about it Friday. Yeah, I probably should have waited a week, cause he's gotta keep some stuff for us while we're calling.

Speaker 1:

No, he's gonna go.

Speaker 2:

Nope, yeah, you're on your own, all right.

Speaker 1:

Disney plus is gonna be available on the Apple vision pro when the headset is released on February 2nd. Disney plus subscribers will be able to stream the entire sites catalog and Disney bundle subscribers will be able to access Hulu content, so I suppose that's gonna be like some exclusive deal, right?

Speaker 2:

Except I find that I'm not gonna be able to do anything, except I feel like I know, on our quest Oculus thing, I know I can watch Netflix. Okay. Can't remember if there's anything else, but I know I can watch Netflix. Okay.

Speaker 2:

So it's actually okay. Honestly, it's kind of cool. It's actually like being at the movies. Okay, Because you know, when you put the headset on, like it's a big screen, like and it's all you can see, right the sound's on a school and like the sofa doesn't rumble or any of that stuff. But and if you're not home, nobody's bringing me beers and appetizers. But but like I don't know that, I like I have watched the few minutes of something on, I know, netflix, just because like, oh, let's see if this is cool or not and it kind of is. But especially because you can make the screen like rounded or straight.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, well, this is like a 3D one, yeah.

Speaker 2:

But I don't know that I actually wanna sit there with that headset on and watch a movie. For now, all the movies are like three hours. Yeah Right, like that was kind of like. It was like kinda. That's the reason like 3D TV didn't take off, because you also have to buy glasses and then you have to sit and wear and watch glasses and, honestly, I spent a lot of money not to wear glasses on contact lenses and doctor's appointments so, like you know, I'd rather wear the red and blue paper sunglasses.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you're funny. Disney Cruise Line has released the full list of port adventures for Lookout K at Lighthouse Point, which begins welcoming sailings starting this summer. There are 16 different port adventures to choose from, like from bicycle rental to certified scuba trips.

Speaker 2:

So Two glass bottom boats, a 5K run. Let's see.

Speaker 1:

No, they actually have some really cool things. I looked through it. Different things. Yeah, that's cool. Yeah, some really cool adventure things. So. But so if you have anything booked for that, you can. The full list of the ventures are out there now. I thought it was kind of cool, yeah, yep, percy Jackson costumes and props, as well as a photo op and sneak peek, are available at Walt Presents at Hollywood Studios.

Speaker 2:

Walt Disney Presents.

Speaker 1:

Yes, right, I thought it was Walt Presents. It is Walt Disney Presents.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it's where the one man dream thing goes right.

Speaker 1:

Right so, but they have like a ton of props there.

Speaker 2:

At Percy Jackson show. I have not watched but one episode, but it's good. I want to.

Speaker 1:

I need to. I want to watch it, it's way better than the movie. I don't even remember the movie.

Speaker 2:

Oh, I do. I mean the movies were actually pretty good. Okay, like I mean it wasn't the original clash of the Titans, but Greek mythology stuff is cool. It is Even when it's not. That's why I wanted Eternals to be so much better.

Speaker 1:

Yes, because like some mythology thing.

Speaker 2:

Right, it had, like you know, but Percy Jackson is really good.

Speaker 1:

So I need to get caught up on it.

Speaker 2:

I need to start reading those books. Listening to those books? Yeah, I keep trying to find my textbooks on audible and they're not there.

Speaker 1:

Which textbooks.

Speaker 2:

Like this one that's open on the southern screen right now.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay, the one that says Music History, yeah.

Speaker 2:

Okay. Popular music 1970, 1977, part one. Okay, I wouldn't much rather be read to me than I have to read it.

Speaker 1:

Vineyard Vines clothing store is coming to Disney Springs. They haven't said where, they haven't said when, but it is coming. What just closed? Alex and Annie closed and something else.

Speaker 2:

Art of shaving.

Speaker 1:

Art of shaving clothes.

Speaker 2:

That's a good place for it, Cause there's expensive stuff on that. I mean there's expensive stuff all the way through that place, but there's expensive stuff over there with Oakley and all that.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, but that's a tiny store, isn't it?

Speaker 2:

I don't know how many different ways do you buy shorts with whales on them, I don't know. And pants.

Speaker 1:

Okay, I've only seen t-shirts.

Speaker 2:

It's cool stuff. It's super expensive for just putting a whale all over everything, but you suspend a whole lot of money for an alligator and true. I guess a crocodile. No, I don't know.

Speaker 1:

Whatever it is, whatever it was.

Speaker 2:

And a pony and true. Yeah.

Speaker 1:

Yep, there are two figment, color by number download sheets available from Disney Parks blog. I thought they were really cute.

Speaker 2:

They are. I think I may have shared a link to these the other day, but maybe not. Maybe they did a different one.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

But I did share on Facebook a link to to the download Some coloring figment coloring.

Speaker 1:

I actually saved the download because I thought it would be fun to print out.

Speaker 2:

I don't like the. I can't remember what they're called this one.

Speaker 1:

The graphic key looking one, the one that looks like computer graphics from an Atari 2640 years ago. Yes, it's kind of the ones where you do the square for the numbers and I'm dang it.

Speaker 2:

They have a number, they have a name.

Speaker 1:

Nonograms? I think so. It's the one they're doing at Epcot now. That's the one where you go and you can pick your numbers.

Speaker 2:

You do the painting, but that's all right. There is a there was a whole what they call Pantone system for big murals and stuff, right Right, where each little section is a color and when it's all done it. But that's on a huge like a wall, not, not a. I don't know when you print it out six by six square, you know, yeah, so the one like super duper reminds me of ET from the old ET game, which, by the way, was the worst selling video game in history and ended up all in a landfill. Not because of the graphics, because it also looks like the Indiana Jones one and pitfall.

Speaker 1:

So, but I thought these were cute. So gives you something to do on a snow day If you're into eight big video games.

Speaker 2:

there's a school one, the other one is like a real piece of art.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it does.

Speaker 2:

It's cool and you don't have to have light purple and dark purple, right Cause I don't even know if, like, it's been a long, long time since I saw a box of Crayola 128 or 64 colors, mm-hmm, but I don't know that I had light and dark purple in that box.

Speaker 1:

I don't even know, maybe.

Speaker 2:

I remember burnt umber yes, that was the one because you always nobody knew what it was, except it was that color crayon.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

So All right, well, dvc news Mm-hmm. The cabins are opening. Yes, at Fort Wilderness Mm-hmm. Projected opening date is July 1st. You can add on to your membership at the cabins at Disney's Fort Wilderness Resort during the exclusive member window which starts February 1st. Mm-hmm Members who add on can take advantage of early booking beginning February 15th. Right Again, I'm already within a seven month window. That's annoying. First time buyers can purchase beginning on February 27th and begin booking on March 12th. Existing members can start booking on April 23rd. Yep.

Speaker 1:

Okay, Point structure has not been. Let me rephrase that. Oh, I'd say that the dollar value has not been. Dollar value per point has not been provided. However, point values have Crazy, Crazy and expensive.

Speaker 2:

So they've only given point values from July 1st through, weirdly, oh no, yeah through the end of the year.

Speaker 1:

Right, and they've only given point values to the 2025s up there too.

Speaker 2:

Right, right, right Right. September 1st through September 30th that's the lowest travel period. I don't know what they call it anymore. It used to be like adventure or whatever. Sunday through Thursday one of those cabinets is 15 points a night.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Full kitchen sleeps up to see.

Speaker 2:

Saratoga's, probably 14. Probably Friday and Saturday 18 points a night. 111 points for a week. Yep, they do go as high as the week from the 24th December 24th through the 31st 32 points a night for Sunday through Thursday. 36 points a night. Friday and Saturday 232 points for the week more than double.

Speaker 1:

Well, and that's because of the location.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I understand.

Speaker 1:

Although it is.

Speaker 2:

Cause you see the fireworks. Well, kind of, if you go all the way out. Right Again, you're talking about taking a bus to get on a boat. So I mean, I don't know that I really like. Transportation to me is still an issue. It is definitely not Monorail or Skyliner, right Cool.

Speaker 1:

See, I figure, if we do that, then we take a golf cart with us. Yeah, right, and you know.

Speaker 2:

Right. So anyway, I'm totally stoked about this and we need to book as soon as possible.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

I am. We haven't stayed in the campground in a long time.

Speaker 1:

No, not a very long time I mean you still love it.

Speaker 2:

I mean serious talk here, like when we bought DVC. We were actually talking about buying like an RV instead and ended up buying DVC, but Right.

Speaker 1:

No, you're right, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So anyway, cabins are coming, so that's really the DVC news.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's the big DVC news right now.

Speaker 2:

Still don't know when the cake bake shop, or whatever it's called, is opening, and don't know when blue ribbon corn dogs are opening.

Speaker 1:

Honestly, god, like it takes forever, it's taking forever.

Speaker 2:

I just feel like I could open a corn dog place at Disney in like a day, because that's about how long it would take for me to find some guy that goes around to county fairs and buy his trailer or he cooks the corn dogs.

Speaker 1:

You're not wrong, like you're not wrong. This is taking months, taking forever.

Speaker 2:

For a building that I'm pretty sure was already there. They've just repurposed, I don't know. So I don't know, I don't get it. Yep, I don't either. Also, it's corn dogs. Yeah, but that's it for news. It's it for news. Now, new news. Yeah, we went to festival of the arts. What Got all your stuff there? I do, except for the one that you that got thrown away. I did not throw it away, the guy took it.

Speaker 1:

I did that got thrown away.

Speaker 2:

The guy took it, went like you know whatever I can't remember where it was. Mexico. Right, it's Mexico. Like called out the order and then threw the receipt away, so Like dude, but I remember about what the things cost.

Speaker 1:

I think we started at the. I will tell you.

Speaker 2:

I have photos.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So we started, okay. So Friday we were there for opening day, maybe not quite at a lot. Well, we were in the park at 11. We didn't go directly to the food booths.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, 1130 is when we went to the first food booth. It was deconstructed dish.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so we had the deconstructed BLT Mm. Hmm.

Speaker 1:

How much was that? That was 725.

Speaker 2:

Okay, I'm not going to give you the Disney description. I'm just going to tell you what it is. It was a piece of pork belly with, like some kind of onion relish on top. It was a piece of this is so weird onion bread pudding with, like this tomato reduction, something jelly on top of it, right. And then this lettuce I can't remember what they called it. It was like lettuce mousse.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it had no taste, it wasn't anything. Yeah, like it wasn't anything, it had no taste, right. And then it had like three dabs or maybe six dabs of like an aioli mayonnaise. Mm, hmm, right, the pork belly was good. The bread pudding was weird, but it was good. But you know, I like sweet bread pudding, but it was good, right, you know, the lettuce thing just didn't have any taste. No, now, I don't know. I think somebody we follow on Instagram was cheating and used last year's picture in her video of the first day, because she showed it with a poached egg and I never saw anything that said it had a poached egg and we certainly didn't get it and it was on a different plate, right. So I think she may have cheated on that one, possibly. I mean, it was okay, it was okay, I'm not gonna go get it again. Right, it was how much.

Speaker 1:

It was $7.25.

Speaker 2:

All right, so not as much as I thought. Right, but I'm not gonna get it again, but it was okay, right? The next thing was-. I'm not unhappy. We got it. I'm not gonna get it again.

Speaker 1:

Right, there we go, the deconstructed G-Line Pi, which was delicious.

Speaker 2:

It was really good last year. It was really good this year. Yes, so it's got this like ribbon of key lime filling. Couple of morangs those are cool, Right. Couple of raspberries, Some dots of I don't know some kind of strawberry something or cherry something on it. They're big on like putting dots of sauces on the plate. This year, yes, it had this like graham cracker crumb Cake thing. Yeah. Yeah, okay. Right, not a muffin, not a. I guess it was a cake.

Speaker 1:

Right, and then they had the key lime, and then they had that thing that looked like a lime. Right.

Speaker 2:

The key lime mousse was maybe better than the key lime filling thing. Yes, and that was new. I don't remember that from last year.

Speaker 1:

I do remember. I saw the pictures from last year. It did have it, but it was different.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, but it wasn't that Right, it was like a green meringue instead of. This was good, this was delicious. So they took something that was already my favorite and actually made it better this year.

Speaker 1:

And it was 650, and we split it and it was delicious.

Speaker 2:

And I'm getting that again. Yeah, like I'm not going to Epcot in the next month and a half without getting it.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and it's part of the wonderful walk of colorful cuisine, so it counts towards your dessert thing.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I would have just gotten five of those and been done with it. They had a deconstructed mint julep Strawberry mint julep. Yeah, that I was going to buy that because I wanted to see how they deconstructed a drink. Yeah, like I seriously said to you and I was only half kidding Like do they give you a shot and a glass of sugar water with a mint in it? Because that's basically what a mint julep is. Right, it was cool. It was layered, mm-hmm. It really needed to be stirred up. Yes, like presentation wise, it was very cool, mm-hmm. And it had this like syringe-y thing. It wasn't really a syringe. You had to like squeeze it, not like do the plunger, but with like a strawberry puree in it Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

It was a good drink. It was good when you mixed it up.

Speaker 1:

If you didn't mix it up, it didn't taste very good.

Speaker 2:

No, before it was mixed, it didn't have much flavor, Right? Well, I mean, and you can see in the picture the bourbon's all sitting on top Right Not that I don't like bourbon.

Speaker 1:

Right, but I actually wanted in the drink yeah.

Speaker 2:

But it was a very good drink. Mm-hmm, it was also 15 bucks. No, it was 12. Oh, 12, okay.

Speaker 1:

And then I also got one of. I also got the Wicked Weed Brewing Blank Canvas. Belgian Blonde wheat beer.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was an average wheat beer, which is wheat beer, which is what most of the beers are there. Right, but it was good. But it was, I mean, just a whip beer. Yeah, Nothing special, but tasted like what it was supposed to taste like.

Speaker 1:

Yep, so that was the first stop, yeah, then we went to France, yes, and then the French Caron delayed things, so we actually had to stand in line for a while.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

And we got.

Speaker 2:

We got that molten Valorna cake thing.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Holy cow, was that good? Yeah, and the cheese bowl and the yeah cheese, some melted brie in a bread bowl.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

The cake was so good. Yes, the cheese thing all right. The bread just tasted like bread. Right, I almost expected a little more, but it tasted like bread, so it's fine. The cheese tasted really good, but it suffered from the same thing that every melted cheese dish at the festivals suffer from, which is it's not melted by the time you get it and get somewhere to eat it. Right, although after we got through, like the first layer of it, it was warmer.

Speaker 1:

Right, and it was a little. It wasn't even that cold that morning.

Speaker 2:

No, it wasn't, and no, in fact, we were shorts and T-shirts last Friday, but it was good. I don't think it was as good as the cheese fondue they had at Germany for the last festival.

Speaker 1:

I would agree that had a lot more flavor to it, but it was good. Yeah, it was still good. But the molten cake, chocolate cake, oh my goodness.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that was.

Speaker 1:

That was France does the desserts? Yeah, and it was a dark, delicious chocolate.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was. I'd get that again too.

Speaker 1:

Was that on the color? Thing?

Speaker 2:

No, it was not.

Speaker 1:

Probably don't need to encourage people to go to France Right now this is part of the thing of Francis' pricing the bread bowl was $9.95, and the molten chocolate lava was $9.25. It was delicious, but $9.25 is a little pricey, yeah, and it wasn't huge for sure. It was very decadent.

Speaker 2:

It was the size diameter of a cupcake, but like, not as tall as a cupcake, no, like half as high as a cupcake, maybe not even, but it was very decadent, though it was it was really good.

Speaker 1:

It was very rich so.

Speaker 2:

And it was really good at $7.75.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, yes. So and then, while we were at that same table, we went to the, we went to the Encanto kitchen. Yeah, the Encanto kitchen which has a name, it's Vibranche, in Vivito.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and then it's that dash Encanto kitchen. Yeah, vibranche, in Vivito, encanto Cocina. It's been the Encanto kitchen the last couple of years, right During this festival. Right, man, it was good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, so we had the chorizo empanada.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, chorizo and potato empanada with turmeric. Yeah, turmeric aioli and annatto aioli. That is a wonderful walk of color cuisine item. Right, that was very good. That was actually to me better than the empanada, I don't know. I'll take that back because the other one wasn't an empanada, it was tamale Right. But, that was very good, that was a very good empanada.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and it was cooked thoroughly. Holy cow it was hot, it was on fire.

Speaker 2:

Like when you put your hand under the plate to carry it over to the table. It was super hot. Yes, so they can do hot food, yes.

Speaker 1:

And they can keep it hot.

Speaker 2:

Honestly, I eat a lot of empanadas because there's a lot of empanada places around here. It didn't need any of the aioli stuff on it.

Speaker 1:

No, it was delicious.

Speaker 2:

It would have been really good with that and if you had to put something like give me a little package of chalula or something.

Speaker 1:

It was delicious. It wasn't too spicy with the chorizo or anything, it was just really good A lot of flavor. Really a lot of flavor. How much was it? It was $6.75.

Speaker 2:

That's a good price for that. I mean, a regular empanada is like $3.99.

Speaker 1:

Right, and this was a delicious empanada. I would have no problem going and getting that again, for sure, yeah, for sure, like I wouldn't split it with you, type thing. And then the mango cheesecake.

Speaker 2:

Yes, passion fruit filled mango cheesecake with coconut pineapple cake, dragon fruit gelet and dragon fruit strawberry sauce. Delicious, yeah, it really was. And To be honest with you, you know, just knowing it was a mango cheesecake and not reading the thing, the passion fruit filling inside was a nice surprise.

Speaker 1:

And that was only $5.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, now, in fairness, it was like three bites Right, but yeah, it was a good price for a dessert item around there, so was very happy with both of the food items in that place. That was when right then was when our time came up to go get popcorn buckets. So we went back to the Odyssey. They had a blueberry filled pastry tart. It's a pop tart. Yep, on the wonderful walk of colorful cuisine, we got that. We got the rainbow cake with freeze dried Skittles, bite size candies, and we got a cider flight and a beer flight. Yes, all right. So the pop tart, how much was it?

Speaker 1:

Oh, pop tart was. Oops, I got to get that here. Sorry, I was out of order. I apologize. The pop tart was 475.

Speaker 2:

So if you really really love Kellogg's pop tarts, I guess you'll really like it. It honestly was just a pop tart, other than the fact that they like put the icing on top of it there apparently Right, because it wasn't like the dried hard icing that pop tart has. We didn't eat it all.

Speaker 2:

No, and it really needed to be on a square plate, not a round plate, probably because it which is funny because everywhere else had square plates yeah yeah, rectangular plates, square plates except for this one. It wasn't great, it was just a pop tart. We tried it, we did need all of it.

Speaker 1:

No, we had a couple of bites of it and like the rainbow cake, the freeze dried Skittles.

Speaker 2:

I mean, they tasted like Skittles and they were different.

Speaker 1:

The cake tasted like cake.

Speaker 2:

It wasn't anything special.

Speaker 1:

No, and I'm not a huge cake person anyways.

Speaker 2:

So it looked cool, but it did not look as cool as the one they had had at Pop Eats the last couple of years. Right, Whatever kind of cake that is with the almond, you know.

Speaker 1:

I can't remember what it's called.

Speaker 2:

Tony Ann will be yelling at us for that she is right now, right, because Tony, ann and Veronica are the ones that, like, actually looked forward to that cake. It wasn't as good as that. It was just a multi-colored vanilla cake with vanilla icing and Skittles on top, so it was fine. It was a good sweet, you know, but there are better sweets at this festival.

Speaker 1:

Yes. The winner, though, were the flights and the way they fit together.

Speaker 2:

So they're called a rainbow cider flight and a rainbow beer flight, which, okay, you know and you read the descriptions. So the ciders there was a three daughters black cherry hard cider. Three daughters blood orange hard cider. Three daughters passion fruit hard cider Right, so they came out and the black cherry was red and the blood orange was orange and the passion fruit was yellow. And the cast member actually was like would you take the picture? Put the two flights next to each other, cause they make the rainbow and they do. So you got Roy there, roi, and then your G Biv. They had a. For the beers, there was a green with envy blonde ale, a blue butterfly lager and a raspberry and blackberry Midwest fruit tart. That beer was actually very good.

Speaker 1:

Yes, the other two beers.

Speaker 2:

The other two beers honestly just tasted like Bud Light with food coloring in it.

Speaker 1:

The ciders were delicious.

Speaker 2:

They were fine and I don't think the green actually the green one had like a weird smell, but I think that was the beer, not a bad smell, just like because of the flavor I did, I guess whatever it was, but they were just. They were just beer with food coloring in them.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, Visually it was really cool.

Speaker 2:

Visually it was pretty awesome and we'll put that picture.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, put it up. But the ciders, I would definitely drink those.

Speaker 2:

Actually, there's already a picture of that on our Facebook group. Oh yeah, it is the ciders. All three ciders were really good, really good. Yes, not not too sweet. The passion fruit was the sweetest of them, right, but all three of the ciders were very good and the flights were 1025.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So decent price when you consider a 12 ounce beer. I think is 950.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, something like that.

Speaker 2:

And this was, I would guess, three, four ounce pours.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, about that.

Speaker 2:

You know so a little more, but you did get a variety.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and you got the pretty rainbow yeah.

Speaker 2:

The Cider Flight is highly recommended.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Yes, and the beer flight. Personally, I would get the raspberry, blackberry, midwest fruit tart like as a large beer and just get that Right.

Speaker 1:

Okay, and where'd we go next?

Speaker 2:

The next place. Sorry, I'm reliving our trip through pictures.

Speaker 1:

I know Well, because I have the receipt. You have the pictures.

Speaker 2:

Yeah. I think, we went to Mexico.

Speaker 1:

We did Mexico in Crestman courtyard at the same time.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So in Mexico I've got to find that. Sorry this one, el Artista Hambriento, we got the carne asada with chipotle marinated beef, sirloin, grilled queso fresco, nopales, salad with queso fresco, foam and chicharron dust. The carne asada. It didn't really taste like carne asada, it tasted like roast beef, but it was good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was still.

Speaker 2:

it was good, but yeah, it didn't taste like carne asada, and I understand, you know Disney tends to make things a little try not to tune too spicy, right? Let's put it that way, right, I don't. I didn't feel like the rest of the stuff really had much flavor at all. No, like it didn't. None of that added anything to the carne asada, no, and the carne was $10.50 for two honestly small slices of meat. Right.

Speaker 2:

And I'll tell you in just a minute what was better in that same area Right Now. The other thing we got at the Mexico one was a smoky banana bliss margarita, which is 10 to one, rum, illegal mescal hoven, mescal hoven, banana puree and lime juice, and that was delicious it really was.

Speaker 1:

That was very good.

Speaker 2:

I don't particularly care for tequila. I like the mescal. Obviously because of the mescal, it reminded me a lot of the black magic, while being totally different, right, but it was really good and it had like an agave leaf in it or something.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

So it might have been. I don't think it's part of a banana leaf. I think it was an agave leaf.

Speaker 1:

The per.

Speaker 2:

Vermis leaf, that bikini was a might, a lumber, a weakness. That didnt but you. So it was. That was very good. We didn't get the other margarita because we didn't need two margaritas, no, but it looked. The description of that one looked pretty good too, the ruby delicio. So margarita Right. I also didn't get the Mexican craft beer, because it is just called Mexican craft beer, so you have no idea what it is. Right and I asked the cast member and he goes. It kind of tastes like Corona.

Speaker 1:

Oh, I don't need it Okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I think he said Corona light actually and I was like, okay yeah, I don't need that.

Speaker 1:

So then you went and picked the step up.

Speaker 2:

Let me just say the carne asada. Early in the morning the presentation was spot on for what we saw in the promo pictures. Right, the carne asada? Not so much. Yeah, it was kind of just slapped on a plate. Yeah, well, I was getting that you went to. I went to Craftsman's courtyard, courtyard near the creation shop.

Speaker 1:

They were like right. They were like right next to each other. They were right across the path from each other.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's not really what I would call near creation.

Speaker 1:

No, that is not near creation, it's more near it's Port of entry.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's weird. Yeah, it's like right by Mexico.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and they were right across. They were right across from each other.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, we got the grilled pork belly. No, we didn't. No, we got the grilled marinated skirt steak with caramelized onions and mushrooms, blue cheese fondue and arugula on a grilled French roll.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

That was way better than the carne asada.

Speaker 1:

Oh, way better. The meat was a thousand times better, the whole meat thing worked.

Speaker 2:

All the flavors combined really worked. It was actually a decent size sandwich.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and the roll wasn't hard and dried out.

Speaker 2:

No, it was very good.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I'll go get another one of those too. How much was that?

Speaker 1:

It was only $7.

Speaker 2:

Oh, by the way, the banana margarita was $15.50.

Speaker 1:

Okay, well, it's Mexico, that's why?

Speaker 2:

And it had two liquors in it. Yeah, it had ramen and mezcal. Yeah. So I'm not complaining. I mean it was a decent size glass, Right. It's the same size as what I would have paid $15 for it at any of their restaurants.

Speaker 1:

Right. So additionally at Craspin we got two drinks too.

Speaker 2:

We did. There was a brood dog jet black heart nitro nitro oatmeal stout from Columbus Ohio. Yeah, that was pretty good. It was good. If you're into oatmeal stouts, it was very good, I liked it. You know the small, we got the small one, so that was fine, yeah, but you need to be into an oatmeal stout Right To like it. But it was good and we got the coffee old fashioned cocktail. Now they do not have a description. It was delicious. It was a shame, but it was really good, Really really good.

Speaker 1:

That was only $11.50.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and it had the biggest orange slice. Yeah, like seriously like half inch thick orange slice, and for a festival, first of all, it was filled to the top.

Speaker 1:

Yes, and they had a Luxardo.

Speaker 2:

And they had a Luxardo cherry. Yeah, actually it might have had two. I didn't take a picture from the top, I think it had two, but I know it had one in it.

Speaker 1:

But I want that drink again.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that was really really good.

Speaker 1:

Yes, it was delicious, so definitely going back to that booth.

Speaker 2:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

Yes, Then we went to Well then we went and met up with some friends, yes, and we kind of all ended up sharing the pop eats, the grilled pimento cheese sandwich. You had that, I didn't. Yeah, I mean, I had like a bite of it because that's what we had, with five of us standing there Right. Tomato soup with pimento cheese, bacon and fried green tomato grilled cheese sandwich. Wonderful walk of colorful cuisine item. And the rock the dots white chocolate and orange mousse with vanilla bean chiffon cake.

Speaker 2:

So first of all, I said last week I just don't feel like Disney does great with pimento cheese. But I also know that pimento cheese is like an acquired taste. Not everybody wants it. Okay, they didn't put much on the sandwich. So that's good if you don't like pimento cheese or if you like good pimento cheese. It was still good that they didn't put much on this sandwich and that's actually not fair. I don't know, because there was so little on the sandwich that I really only tasted the bacon and probably the garlic that they put on the toast when they cooked it, when they grilled it. It was fine. The tomato soup was Disney tomato soup. It was a little runny Appears to be made for you to dip the sandwich in that kind of deal, it was okay. The other, the plain grilled cheese, probably would have been better.

Speaker 1:

Well, now it did look like the bread was not that Texas toast they're using.

Speaker 2:

It was not as thick as last year, but it was still not like Wonder Bread.

Speaker 1:

Right, and they're putting a shredded cheese on it instead of just put a piece of cheese, I mean pimento cheese should be like a spread anyway. Right, but just grilled cheese, just put you know.

Speaker 2:

Right, yeah, slice of Borden's American and Kraft American, whatever, and grill it up. It was fine. Now, while we were standing around, our friend John, who does this for a living, asked what have you had? That was awesome. And there was a lot of hesitation. It wasn't that, it was you want awesome or you want what I've had. That was good and I liked it. No, he wanted awesome, right. So I said that coffee, old fashioned at the time, yeah, and actually there was a consensus in the group about that. Skirt steak sandwich yes, until we had the rock the dots, white chocolate and orange mousse with vanilla bean chiffon cake and everybody agreed that that was awesome. It was awesome. It was a very good cake it was. I don't remember how much it was because we didn't pay Right, but it was really good and it's cute With Minnie on the plate and it's got all the little dots all over the top. That was a good item.

Speaker 1:

The presentation of it was really cool too.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was Right. It was Right, so I'll get that again too.

Speaker 1:

Then, as a group, we went to the gourmet landscapes.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that's Canada.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

The Canada probably again. Right. So there we got the vergeux roasted beets with goat cheese, petit lettuce, blackberry, gastrique and spice pecans. Wonderful walk of colorful cuisine. And we got the wild mushroom risotto with truffle shavings and Zinfandel reduction. Right, that mushroom risotto was so good. It was so good, however, so expensive 975.

Speaker 1:

For no meat, no meat.

Speaker 2:

And it was not Plant-based item, by the way, so not even like a, but this was one of the first question that was asked when we bit into it, when we both were like, oh my God, and the first question was does it have like a beef broth or no plant-based, plant-based Right? So good, it was really good, but the I mean so expensive.

Speaker 1:

So expensive and it was not a huge portion for 975 either. I mean, it was a decent little bowl, but Right.

Speaker 2:

Right, it was not. I'd have got way more if I had a ordered risotto at some restaurant, Right? No, it paid more than nine bucks, right, but I but the 10 bucks.

Speaker 1:

But the temperature was good on it too. Yeah, but it was just. 975 was just ugh.

Speaker 2:

If money were no object. Mm-hmm. I could probably eat that every day for at least like a week. Right, it was that good, okay, but I can't pay 950 every time. I want a little bowl of it. 75. 975, whatever Same thing, 10 bucks how about that?

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and we even said we talked as a group that it really should have been like 758 bucks, 758, 750, yeah, probably 750-ish.

Speaker 2:

That was the consensus. Yeah, at $750 to $8, everybody would have been happy with it.

Speaker 1:

Right.

Speaker 2:

Very happy with it. Right, you know, and that's one of the things you got to look at I mean, you're already paying a lot of money to be there. Right To go around and spend 10 bucks on a little something is.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you know, but it was very good. Yeah, all right, the roasted beets with goat cheese and that, if you like pickled beets. It was really good and it was pretty cheap. It was 550. Yeah, would it fill you up? No, it had like four cubes of red beets and a couple of pieces of yellow beets and then a couple of actually decent sized chunks of the goat cheese, and the rest of it was sauce, basically, and spiced olives. There were spiced pecans. I'll tell you what we did agree on On a salad. Oh, that'd be delicious. It was fantastic. Right, like, give me a bed of lettuce and throw that on top. It had been a fantastic salad. The petite lettuce was literally like sprigs of lettuce, so they were not relevant to the discussion for this. The other thing that we did find out was it appeared to be meant to have the cheese and beets together, like a piece of cheese and a beat of the fork.

Speaker 1:

They probably should have had the beets sitting on the cheese.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, maybe that was actually something that was part of the conversation we had. Was that, especially at this festival, disney tends to put things on a plate that should be eaten together and not give you instructions, right, and so you have something and you're like, hey, that was blah. But if you put the beat and the cheese on the fork all of a sudden, you're like, oh, that's good. Yeah, now I love pickled beets. We have a jar of pickled beets in the fridge right now. Yes, we do, and so I didn't care, like I can eat those, but you better like beets. If you're gonna order this, however, it's $5.50.

Speaker 2:

Right, then we also got the or get it, put it in a Ziploc bag, shake it up, go, order a salad, dump it on top. Just saying you know how good that would be if you got like just a small Caesar salad side salad and then dump that on top, holy cow, it'd be delicious. Are you listening to Disney and making food menus for you now? Exactly, it would be delicious. Yeah, the only problem there, I mean, it's Canada. It's always good food. It's just like France, it's expensive.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, and then we got the beer.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I don't even remember which one. The Stevens Point, the whole hog brewery, raspberry charrette, double radler yes, or radler, I'm not sure, from Stevens Point, wisconsin. It was pretty good, yeah, going great. It was pretty good yeah.

Speaker 1:

So then we.

Speaker 2:

Actually that one was. That actually was a pretty decent beer.

Speaker 1:

So then we did on the way out, we did stop by somewhere else.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, the cuisine classique in the world discovery area, that is, by the Creation Shop.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

We got the beef Wellington mushroom with mushroom Duxelles prosciutto and a puff pastry with red wine demi-glaze. It looked absolutely nothing like the promotional picture. Right, it was also about five o'clock Now, let's see what time was it it uh, it was about five o'clock.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it was.

Speaker 2:

uh, it was five o'clock when I took the picture.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, cause it was a 455 when I paid for it.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, it was five o'clock when I took the picture. Super small, just for comparison. Yes, here is the picture with these orange mini carrots and I'm not sure what this thing was.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, I'm not sure either, but um, cause it's.

Speaker 2:

Oh, that might be the prosciutto. What we got were were these mini carrots that were almost see through because they were not really ready to be picked. Yeah, they're not orange, and we didn't get any prosciutto. Nope, All right, Well, they do show the potato puree. They're the sorry, the root vegetable puree. Yeah, and we did get that. We got a very small slice, like two bites when you cut it in half. Oh, it was barely two bites and it was okay. It was yeah.

Speaker 1:

It was not worth eight 75 for that.

Speaker 2:

It was not worth eight, 75. I mean honestly that to me. I know it's beef Wellington, it's mushrooms and that makes it expensive and all that. But for the size of what we got I six bucks, six, 50. Yeah. You know, it wasn't. It wasn't great. Now, maybe on a different trip, maybe it's great.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

Your mileage may vary on all of this stuff. Yeah, based on your taste and when you show up, because, like I said in the morning, I even I put some pictures on Facebook and my comment was so far the presentation has been on point. Stuff looked in the morning like the pictures, right, the promotional pictures. By afternoon they were not.

Speaker 1:

No.

Speaker 2:

They were not looking that way.

Speaker 1:

No, so we still have several. We still have several places to hit. We'll get that on the 27th.

Speaker 2:

We do so the Neapolitan dessert thing, and I can't remember where that is.

Speaker 1:

That's a deco delights. Yeah.

Speaker 2:

I didn't care much about that, but I heard good things, so yeah, so maybe we'll end up going to that. We'll go there.

Speaker 1:

Yeah.

Speaker 2:

We had a good trip. Yeah, we got a lot done, for it was crowded, yeah, but everything moved pretty well.

Speaker 1:

And it was crowded right off Usually it's yeah, but it was.

Speaker 2:

so it was a Friday of a holiday weekend, Right.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah.

Speaker 2:

True. And again, the park opened at eight o'clock Nine, okay, nine o'clock and the Festival booth didn't open until 11 o'clock, so you had two hours for everybody to get there, true, and get spread around the park.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, that's, true you know which.

Speaker 2:

Actually, I think the good part was you had two hours for everybody to get spread around the park. Yeah, because the people who knew were like I'm not coming in and going to the Odyssey or going to Mexico, right, I'm gonna go there, I'm gonna go around and get to France and start there, right. And we would have continued that way had we not had to go back to the Odyssey because of those popcorn buckets, right.

Speaker 1:

So but now it's okay, cause now we'll go to which. Actually, what I'd like to do is go to the incanto again and then go that way.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and then start from there and continue around, yeah, but it was good Overall. I think the food is the food's good. I'm not sure I wouldn't say that what we have had from several of the same areas was as good as festival holidays. I thought that one really stepped up this year and the prices were really good for festival holidays.

Speaker 1:

The prices were much lower than this festival, the prices of this festival.

Speaker 2:

they are very proud of some of their foods.

Speaker 1:

Yes.

Speaker 2:

I think it's a little high this time. Yes, I think that's what.

Speaker 1:

I'm getting, I would agree.

Speaker 2:

But I think that is supposed to be the B-Fallint.

Speaker 1:

Yes, that's supposed to be the B-Fallint.

Speaker 2:

It would, it was never, ever gonna look like that? No, but this is captivating. Since you guys can't see the picture, we're looking at. Yeah, it didn't even look like this one. No, it didn't even look like the yeah, no, but anyway, we're going back in a few days, so we will see.

Speaker 1:

So we'll, we'll do some more. We'll hit, we'll hit the festival on the 27th.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and then we will be on a cruise for a week Mm-hmm. Prior to that With some friends of ours.

Speaker 3:

Yes, ken, and. Judy and and Sandy and Pat Sandy and Pat Mm-hmm.

Speaker 2:

And some friends we haven't even met yet.

Speaker 1:

I know.

Speaker 2:

If, if experiences tells us anything.

Speaker 1:

We will meet some more cruise buddies yeah.

Speaker 2:

So we'll be reporting back on that, not next week, but the week after. Actually, next week's probably will be like a mid cruise update, as long as we get it recorded before we while we're in a port.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, we could do that yeah.

Speaker 2:

So that's gonna wrap us up again for this week. Thank you everyone for listening. Thanks Two months later, but thanks for our review. Yes, thank you. We appreciate that. Anybody else that wants to hear theirs read on the air, send us one. We appreciate it. Catch us on Instagram at Mickeyphile underscore podcast Facebook group, mickeyphile improvement district. Mm-hmm Podcast is available everywhere that you find podcasts, and if you listen to us on Apple and you've fallen behind, apple may have unsubscribed you, so you might just want to check and make sure. Yep, apple's doing some weird things apparently with their algorithm right now, of course, on that, which I mean is also good, because somehow I one time clicked on a Chinese language I'm not even sure Could have been Japanese language, I'm not sure.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

I don't know the difference between the two well enough for the five seconds. I listened to Right, but I clicked on a podcast. That thing shows up once a month on my random listen. Now it shows up and I didn't follow it. I've deleted it like a hundred times, it still keeps showing up. Hmm, also don't know if it's the same episode showing up or every month where they do what. I have no idea. But anyway, don't be Scott. Yeah, don't do what's coming, and I think that may be part of the reason Apple has changed their algorithm, because it has not been happening for the last few weeks.

Speaker 1:

Oh, okay.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, there you go. Anyway, digression there. We will see you guys next week Night, everybody.

Speaker 1:
