Cruise Activities and Theater Discussion

Speaker 1

Well , hello everyone and welcome to episode 177 of the Mickey File Podcast . I'm Scott , and with me tonight will be my lovely wife , karen , and our good friends Ken and Judy , and Pat and Sandy will be joining us . We're doing something a little different this week . We're in the middle of our cruise of the Disney fantasy , just a little bit past the halfway point , so we sat down in the Skyline Lounge on board the Disney fantasy and just talked about what we've , what all of us have been doing this week , and a whole bunch of unrelated other things . It was a fun , very fun conversation . There is some background noise in the audio because we were in a working lounge . You'll hear some cans being opened and ice drinks being shaken and probably not stirred . But we sat down for I think it's about 40 minutes edited and talked about some of the activities that we've all done and some other things . So we hope you enjoy it and here it is All right . I'll hear Judy's story , which one ?

Speaker 2

Oh , one a day . He's here for our entertainment .

Speaker 3

Okay , what tonight ? Okay , and I discovered I dropped with the customer , yoyo , that I don't know when we did the tour and he said if you want to have not in the very back and the scooter or wheelchair , he will talk to the cast member and ask for me . So the first man they did and I said Yoyo said that I found the front and they said follow me . So we go down , we get in the elevator , we go down to level one , we walk past the health center and then the cast member opens the door and now we're in the crew quarters and it's a little tiny door , is where they sit . We get to this giant yellow , watertight door . So she raised the bridge and she says , okay , and they open the door . Now you can't walk through the door while it's opening . It has to be totally open , right , you can't walk through halfway and then you get in there , then she shifts the door behind you and now she opens another watertight door and then keep your mind it's under power .

Speaker 4

They're not doing it physically .

Speaker 5

Yeah , it's a button , they're just pressing .

Speaker 3

No , they have to pull this big lever , yeah .

Speaker 1

Which also means that you have to wait like the 40 seconds while the board is slowly on the board Right .

Speaker 3

They open one . They open one , close it . Open one , close it .

Speaker 1

It's like an air one .

Speaker 3

Yeah , and I said well , what happened to your sleeping in between the doors ? So tonight we do that . I've been doing this every day , right , no problem . So tonight I get on the elevator and when Ken gets on usually I go in and go to the left kind of corner . And last time she said try to the right . So tonight I go in and I kind of went to the right . Ken gets in and it goes on overload . So finally she says Ken , you get out , and so she gets in .

Speaker 3

So up we go , and the front of the scooter was kind of hitting the wall a little bit and jammed the elevator , oh my God . And the lights go out and we're stuck . Oh my God , we're stuck at the elevator . Literally is the size of the scooter , that's all the bigger ones . So she heard the elevator . I find out that she went to the same high school . I went to . Yeah , so we're talking , and I can see she was crying . She called me , so then she called Brad and so finally she went to the right school . So I went to the elevator and she said we really are up , I just can't get the door open .

Speaker 1

Honestly , you're way too deep .

Speaker 3

Yeah , you don't go that far up . Yeah , because you're going from level one , which you're probably only going to level two . Right , because you're going to the front of the theater . Right , you're coming in on stage , right ? Right , so the door opens , but now we can't get the scooter out , because now it's switched Actually in the door . The door's open , we'll get the scooter out .

Speaker 5

And you were in the elevator right .

Speaker 1

Thank , God , but you can't even help , like no .

Speaker 4

Because , there was another CM downstairs and I was talking with her for a little bit and then there was another couple that was going to come up . They had a wheelchair and I said you know , I think she has this thing about claustrophobic and the CM standing by the door was looking at me what so ?

Speaker 3

anyway , so finally , brad visited another guy . Some engineer showed up and I said wait , what if you release the clutch on the back of the scooter , so that maybe it was a little . So that's what he did and I walked out of the elevator and said let me get out . So I said I'll keep the lights on , I'll push the button to keep the lights on , because if you let the button go the lights won't . Oh my God . So we did make this . But when you do that you end up in the front row .

Speaker 5

Yeah Well , but then you got stuck in an elevator . Is that worth things ?

Speaker 3

But I've done it every single day with other crews , and I'll do it again Friday night because they're great seats , it's believed .

Speaker 5

Oh , it's , that yeah .

Speaker 3

And the guy that played Jafar has said to me that he played the father . We listened to him , his name is Ian something , and he talked all about how he got on stage . It's not easy life doing that .

Speaker 4

It's school life , how he started in school and how he actually started with a course right in his church , in church he had the kids and then he played in high school and yeah , Through the year , very interesting .

Speaker 1

And he's been on this boat for whatever it is Nine months or a year or whatever the first time . No , he does just a period kind of .

Speaker 3

He does it like a couple of months . Yeah , he does it between gigs . And he has .

Speaker 2

Broadway and stuff like that .

Speaker 4

Not long term .

Speaker 3

And she told me that he's done in a few weeks I guess it's the seven weeks and she said she's really sad when he leaves the cast and somebody else steps in . So they get people to step in and out of their role and they rehearse all of the shows in Toronto . They do all these shows and get them all to do it in Toronto and these kids are playing dual roles . I said how can they do ? I mean , he's doing Aladdin last night and he does Christoff tonight . Oh my god , yeah , amazing , yeah , because I was talking to the cast members and saying , okay , this one played this , and then he said yes , I could see it was the same person .

Speaker 5

Yeah , he looked exactly the same . Yeah , it was very evident .

Speaker 3

But I said I understand the gene was Ola and she said no , A lot of people think that and it's not Because he really had the facial expressions and everything . What's the word ? What's the word ?

Speaker 5

So right , but no , he had the facial expressions .

Speaker 3

He did yeah , and the way he was acting was she said it's actually the grandpa chrome that came up through the floor . Oh , okay , he's the guy that played James .

Speaker 1

I just don't go with costumes .

Speaker 5

Oh my gosh , when Elsa's dressed , she's gonna dress like this Anna's hair Like how can you ? Say that I know it's really funny because actually in ours , when they were putting the dress on Anna her coronation dress I think they were having a problem with it , because she actually started almost giggling . She kept backing up and backing up and I'm like I'm not sure if she's supposed to keep backing up .

Speaker 3

Yeah , it was really well done . I love the puppets in it .

Speaker 5

The puppets were great , and then her in the bed with her hair like all I know . That was crazy . That was the part I was like he was the hair . Yeah , because it was . You know , I had that t-shirt , the you know what is it ? Facebook post and then real work . It's Anna with the hair going .

Speaker 3

It's just so well done . I think why I like Aladdin better is there were the different special effects . I mean , there were great special effects . Yeah , like with the sand going In Aladdin , the magic carpet , that person with the gymnastics and the flipping , and then when they did the magic carpet flight and the screen behind them was amazing . But , as they said in the play , where was Abu at the time ?

Speaker 5

Yeah , mr Monkey , aren't you ? Yeah , they had the honor . Yes , but they're missing the monkey .

Speaker 3

But the puppet of the other Frozen room . The puppetry was really good and the guy that did Olaf was amazing to that . It was really good .

Speaker 1

I didn't have to have an extra payment on these , obviously , but I don't think they have one less person go on a Disney cruise . They don't have that kind of production . You know what I mean . That's actually something that they do like extra for us .

Speaker 3

I feel like the fact that the stage has so many levels that you can drop down in different areas . That they didn't use a lot of that in Aladdin no , like the big section where they all dropped it yeah , the whole cast .

Speaker 5

And the puppets of child Christoff and Coming up in the front , yeah .

Speaker 1

I mean the fact that we've been rocking for five days . You forget . It's a love .

Speaker 3

And you know , when you're singing in the theater and you get drained in the show , you forget the rock , right ? You do , you really do forget it . You forgot the rock , right , kenny ? You didn't feel the rocking .

Speaker 5

In the show . The show's from Rocky . What Is it ? Rocky , rocky .

Speaker 2

I might have to mix this up .

Speaker 5

Don't come in on him .

Speaker 3

Yeah , the whole show .

Speaker 2

Our bathroom door kept opening up and closing . It does Opening up and closing .

Speaker 5

If you don't launch all the way , that's what happens .

Speaker 2

I haven't launched all the way .

Speaker 5

No , somebody got up in the middle of the night , launched the bathroom and the bed , loved the night and the bathroom did not launch .

Speaker 1

And I kept hearing .

Speaker 3

Was he ? I'm hearing this .

Speaker 5

the coat hangers in the closet , oh all of our hangers are in use , so that , yeah , we don't hear that , yeah , it's . Our door whistles the door in the random whistles If it's really , if it's really going to be like it's whistling tonight .

Speaker 3

Yeah , and then the other night I looked out and there was water and we're way forward . The water was flashing through our window and we're on deck six .

Speaker 5

Well , the other thing I , oh see , it just did magic . That's why it told me at the time .

Speaker 3

The other thing I found out is that when we were watching through the cast quarters , there's not a lot of doors , there's two levels below that . They sleep on A and B . Underneath Under one there's level A and there's level B and there's cast down there sleeping , and they also are sleeping on three and four , yeah , yeah , and then somebody told me , you know like a crew bar and a restaurant .

Speaker 3

Yeah , and all the uniforms we asked tonight , all their costumes come from a simple costume . I just get the ones they need . They're not storing them in their rooms .

Speaker 5

Which is good because they have a store .

Speaker 3

And then we found out that our head with a headway to where Um my C , her husband , is our room story . That's , that's cool , yeah yeah . And they're from the Dominican Republic . And our other waiter , roman , is Indonesian and he's going home in two weeks when he breaks until April .

Speaker 1

So we did this thing this Saturday and it was a chocolate and a curfew stew . It's delicious and it was really cool Like they had melted chocolate and then some of the chocolate and then parmesan cheese for one of them .

Speaker 5

It was beautiful , it was for the pork , it's okay Um .

Speaker 1

And he uh . So as we were finishing , this guy was coming around and starting to clean up and he goes . This is Ian , he's getting fired . This is his last week . Oh nice , he just kept like waves and just kidding . I'm just kidding , he's going on vacation when we get back .

Speaker 5

But we jokingly say it's getting fired because he's not here . He was our Somali at Palo Verde .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I guess he worked like four or five months and then get a couple of months off .

Speaker 5

And I think it depends on the ship and things like that . So , because I think Charlotte , on the way she was so remember , she came over working on the first bowl .

Speaker 1

She was the brain for me , right . And that cruise that it would ship . It's like a service flight , air and months at a time . Right Bye , so they were still .

Speaker 5

I think she said she was on a six or seven month stint Contract , this one and that contract . This contract was because coming over was its own contract , because when they brought the ship from Germany they were working while they were finishing building the interior on the way over from Germany , so she actually had . Everyone on the crew had to wear a hard hat throughout the ship Because they were still putting together furniture . They were actually helping build furniture .

Speaker 1

On the way from the Netherlands to here , they were building furniture the Wish , the Wish , so they were building furniture , unpacking dishes , not in classes , literally everything . The crew was there .

Speaker 5

And I mean Charlotte was our server of the Pellet and that's what they're doing . But she said that was its own contract coming over and then initial sailing is when the next contract started . And then , yeah , I think she said her is six or seven months .

Speaker 3

Well , robin told us tonight is where we're leaving dinner . He prefers seven days , the seven night crew . He said . I wasn't in Montse , I don't remember , but the three and four night is harder .

Speaker 5

Well , it's a quick turn , Because every night is different . They prefer the longer ones .

Speaker 3

They find that the work

Discussing Departure Logistics and Alcohol Purchases

Speaker 3

is easier to do .

Speaker 1

those I don't know exactly what time you have to be off the boat , when .

Speaker 5

When we get off . We have to be off .

Speaker 1

But they're going to leave in like three hours after I get back . I don't think you'll get off anyway .

Speaker 5

Okay , so like , because we're transportation , they said we need to be off by 9am . Well , we have to be on the bus by 9am . They said just 8.15am .

Speaker 1

They're off the boat you drove over here . At what time you have to be off ?

Speaker 3

I think everybody has to be off by 9am , I think that . But even then , I mean they're going to start loading in like 5am .

Speaker 5

They start loading at 11am , which is why the rooms are already into 1.30am .

Speaker 2

Right .

Speaker 3

And we're going to have them take our luggage , so we have to have it outside the door than at the door .

Speaker 5

Well , because , because trains , and we have to be at breakfast by 7am .

Speaker 3

Saturday morning , I think , with our carry on and everything . I don't think you'll go back to your room , do you ?

Speaker 4

When you leave your suitcase outside the door .

Speaker 1

And then when you come back through customs , basically your bags are there waiting for you .

Speaker 5

Right , so just whatever basically you came , whatever your carry on is leaving , that's what you go through customs for .

Speaker 1

Oh yeah , for us , the other bags are going to be in the back On the bus .

Speaker 2

Wait , we're actually going to go out and go with our stuff . Well , we're coming up with some stuff . Yeah , three bags are being checked .

Speaker 5

Well , if you didn't have 16 suitcases , do we have that ?

Speaker 2

problem . We have 16 . All that alcohol you guys are taking home .

Speaker 5

Actually we're not taking home as much this time . I don't mind , not as much as I do , I'm only taking home one bottle , I'm only taking home one bottle , I'm only taking home one bottle .

Speaker 3

I'm only taking home one bottle .

Speaker 1

You know what A rum ? Oh yeah , we probably wouldn't have taken home a bottle of wine because we wouldn't have won the last time .

Speaker 3

Which one Take a piece yeah .

Speaker 1

It's probably the one , but I will plenty of get a few .

Speaker 3

Well , when they gave me I want the cool thing today , but I'm short the beer bill .

Speaker 5

He bought that .

Speaker 3

We thought about you . We looked at it and we go man .

Speaker 2

That would be perfect for him .

Speaker 1

He saw it .

Speaker 5

Yeah , because we have Guinness , so he's like I can carry around my beer .

Speaker 1

My world . I'm 16 .

Speaker 2

I'm saving time , increasing productivity . That's it . I'm carrying the beer and drink .

Speaker 3

And even the iron hats with the two beer cans and the straw You're not drinking out of the straw .

Speaker 5

That is something else I drink most . I drink a lot of things out of the straw . I drink coffee out of the straw and I can't not drink beer out of the straw , so I thought you could only bring when I came back with the bottle of rum .

Speaker 3

I said to them when I came through and it was security I said here's the bottle of rum . And they said we'll just put it in the bucket . So I did , and I get to the other end and I said he said go , so I would bottle the rum in my room . I thought you could only bring wine and beer , you know .

Speaker 1

So there was there was somebody sitting outside the door the last few days the door of that room there was collecting the bottles . Yeah , they were not in the bottle . I noticed that you had to wait until the day of the bottle . I noticed that you had to wait until the day of the bottle Very easily , but there was a guy sitting there .

Speaker 3

I asked him . He said go ahead , Because I thought I had to turn it in .

Speaker 5

We just got one of the two bottles last time One and they were no , leave it here , leave it here . And then we had to go pick it up on the bars before the office would . It was up , yeah , it was up at one of the coffee bar over there .

Speaker 4

Yeah , but you don't know that that's actually rum . That could be diesel fuel .

Speaker 3

It could be .

Speaker 4

Because you haven't opened it , and it was the place you got it at .

Speaker 5

It's kind of sketchy . Is that a nice way of saying it's sketchy , or unfavorable , or ?

Speaker 4

It wasn't a standard commercial building , that's what I'm saying .

Speaker 3

Hey , listen , five shots for a dollar . How could you go wrong ?

Speaker 4

And they wouldn't take us around back to see what they made of either . Why was that ?

Speaker 3

But our driver was born by room . Hey , the facility was almost 400 years old . Yeah , I know .

Speaker 2

You said the same boiler .

Speaker 4

That's what they said . That's what they said , and we had the idea .

Speaker 3

But he actually got some bartender to come out of the building Because I was still in the car and she boarded for me while I was sitting in the car and she's got four bottles in her arms and she was telling me what it was and it was about a tablespoon full and the first thing they drank was like okay . And then she told me what they each were and she said which one did you like the most ? I said well , I really like the one with more sugar in it . And she said the last one is the kicker . And when I drank that I said actually that's not really bad , but by then I already had four shots , so it didn't matter and so I'll buy one 12 bucks For a pint . I didn't think it was bad .

Speaker 1

Price wise . We went to Nassaw in the last cruise . We went in and bought a bottle of rum and it was a candy roll , and I didn't realize it was a candy roll and that is some strong stuff Like .

Speaker 3

Oh , this is 80 .

Speaker 5

So it's basically lighter .

Speaker 1

I think we've had about three shots out of ten months .

Speaker 5

Well , because we actually did a shot when we were recording an episode . We're like , alright , we're going to try this now . And we both were like you're here , god ? And I smelled it . I'm like , oh , that is not good . And then , david , I split the shot up like that . And there now , yeah , because I'm like I smelled it , I was like , oh , don't take this the wrong way , but this is not going to be good .

Speaker 1

Then we looked up what baby brown bag it was and it was like 100 .

Speaker 5

Yeah well , why did you do this ? Because that's what the girls do , nope , and it was like 20 , and it was a , it was a 750 . And it was probably 20 bucks . I thought it was a 180 .

Speaker 3

Now , did you guys go to Turquoise yesterday ? Yeah , did you go in ? Yeah , do anything or just .

Speaker 5

Literally walked around , walked around all of the stores , walked in to meet the two of them and went ah see ya , we got pictures of the BBI and we put it .

Speaker 1

We went into the first . We went into a liquor store and I bought six packs of like Tara Kareem , whatever it is , yeah . And then that was about it . And we went around , saw all the little charts and tried to find something for lunch and it was just , it was a little expensive , yeah , for street food . Yeah , I mean , there's a pair of kids today and they're talking about it , right , so we didn't meet there . We said you could go to the canals .

Speaker 5

And .

Speaker 3

I could cry , but I got a crab leg and shrimp .

Breakfast Delights and Wedding Observations

Speaker 3

We started eating in the restaurant . It's so nice and breakfast is a delight . And no , it's not a chicken garden , it's not a royal court .

Speaker 5

And you just go in there and they say we don't want to be in the top .

Speaker 3

We did breakfast around last couple days around 8 . And they'll do eggs anyway you want . So you get a lot of pancakes .

Speaker 5

Well , they said they they can't because they have the choice . They're making waffles , yeah .

Speaker 3

But we're doing housework , yeah .

Speaker 5

Well , you said just come have a waffle .

Speaker 1

I asked him where ? And he said there's the bandit's . I thought they had a . I thought they had breakfast on there . I said to him which end ?

Speaker 3

which end did breakfast go to Remember ?

Speaker 1

Speaker 3

And they do . They do lunch to what 1.30? .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I think 1.30 .

Speaker 3

Because we today , they were turning the lights on .

Speaker 1

And I . I think it's good to be here Just to manage the lights on . I think they were different .

Speaker 5

I was really happy with the crab lights and the shrimp .

Speaker 1

Yeah , what else have you guys done for a long time For now ?

Speaker 5

Anything fun that like , can that you have like ? Oh , that was cool .

No , we were going by the green barrel .

Speaker 5

Oh .

Speaker 3

Check on my camera . I thought we were done . Where'd the rum go ? Where'd all the rum go ?

And then I saw them getting pictures on . I saw them on four getting pictures on the balcony and then I saw them again on outside deck . They're doing the whole walkie thing , looking at each other and then looking at each other in the glass .

Speaker 3

And then they were in La Piazza sitting in one of those booths .

Speaker 5

Yeah , they were taking like a billion pictures . Wow , so is that ?

Speaker 3

And then two of the officers were walking the two of us out before the wedding , holding her dress . Yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , yeah , try to find .

Speaker 1

I wonder what that talks about .

Speaker 5

I don't know , I don't know about that , unless the Magic .

Speaker 2

Kingdom will lay there .

Speaker 1

I don't want to get married in three weeks .

Speaker 5

True , yeah , because that's the only way you get married . Magic was three morning and an Epcot , I know , no , no .

Speaker 2

We're already in . We're doing a wedding here . We ran it's like , I guess , $80 . In the marriage class of the year . Yeah , you never recover from the financial Right , yeah .

Speaker 3

It's even more exciting than Magic , yeah . So here's my question . Yes , we left Saturday around 4.30 . Yeah , and it took us all Saturday night all day Sunday , all day Sunday night , all day Monday , all day Monday night to get here . Yeah , and now we're going to leave tonight and in one day it passed away , we're going to be cast away , which is almost home .

Speaker 1

What are they going to be going ? It passed away less than three-hundred miles .

Speaker 3

Yeah , so how fast are they going to be going to get us here tonight ?

Speaker 2

It's going to be much more than that . It's running at twenty-two knots . Right now we have a twenty-six mile an hour wind coming from ninety degrees off of our east . That's why the ship is doing that . Right , and we're going to have that row all night long , just like Lionel Richie was saying a few minutes ago .

Speaker 3

Oh yeah .

Speaker 2

Give you a look , girl . Oh yeah , so we're going to be tooling at twenty-two knots , twenty-six miles an hour . So we do that Everything in the water is not a four-mile .

Speaker 3

But it's going to be .

Speaker 2

We'll get there in the morning .

Speaker 3

Yeah , we've got all day in the morning .

Speaker 2

Oh , yeah , we're going to be tooling for quite a while .

Speaker 5

Yeah , and then we will wake up early Friday in Castel . Doctor backwards .

Speaker 3

Straight back into Castel . I tell you , we get in the room Because we're forward In this row . There's so much that I literally cannot walk around the room . Wow , I take a chair at the dresser . I kind of push it like a walker around the room .

Speaker 2

Now where are you guys going to work ? We're mid-mids , we're seven , and we've been on quite a few routes and never had one where the ship sustained this kind of roll for endless times . One of the crew members told me please stop that on one like this , I just , and then for them it would be their first one yeah . You know , I'm like I want to apologize to them . I'm not going to . They're paying for our trip too , yeah .

Speaker 5

Did you know that , Cam ? I don't know .

Speaker 4

I see nothing .

Speaker 5

Oh , you're Sergeant Schultz , I'm sorry .

Speaker 2

Yeah , I've been dropping hands .

Speaker 1

We're just a little half of men yeah .

Motion Sickness on a Cruise Ship

Speaker 3

We're right at the border of .

Speaker 5

Basically , we're right at the border of Midnight .

Speaker 3

Yeah , I mean when I say we're just going to go over it or something . There's like our room . You know how the hall goes down and then it juts out . Yeah , we're on the part that juts out and I think after our room there's two more doors Right and then it's a bow and a shack , and they may not all be rooms , do you think ?

Speaker 3

No , they are rooms , and I know there's rooms that are at the bow , that go . This is why I think they're two or three that way , but it was the only one that I could get . That was the hand to get the tussle .

Speaker 2

We're kind of glad that we didn't get a foul from you this time , because you feel more of it when you're on the outside . It's just a little boat .

Speaker 4

We're in the center . You're in the middle of a tippin . The ship's designed to take that roll out .

Speaker 2

Where they go 30 degrees this way and 30 degrees that way . Those days are not . They can't keep up with this .

Speaker 5

I will say today the way it's been . I haven't noticed it as much in our room as walking around outside the room . I was laying on my side .

Speaker 1

I felt a little bit like I was just a little bit , because I was watching you .

Speaker 3

Being on the scooter . If I'm moving on the scooter I'm really not aware of it , but when I try to walk it's not that steady to start with . It makes it really hard .

Speaker 5

It was worse the other night . Oh yeah , I'd be walking and I'm like , oh , I felt like , alright , I know I've been drinking , but not that bad .

Speaker 3

I have yet to have a meal where I'm not doing . This Depends on which way our table is , whether I'm right to left or front to back , or on these two .

Speaker 5

The only meal I felt it was , whatever it was , and I think because we were , we were this way to Trevor , we were this way . I think if we had been sitting this way , I probably wouldn't have been this way . I actually felt nauseous . That's the only time .

Speaker 1

I mean , I've been on the Loughley . I'm not awesome .

Speaker 5

No , but I mean I even told you this yeah , I've had all the time , I just stopped and meditated in the room .

Speaker 3

if you want , I've got it oh no , I've got it , knock on wood .

Speaker 1

Hey , what I say on Loughley doesn't balance the person that has the medication the one that's fine .

Speaker 2

And the crazy thing about it is when we did the wish last year , it was smooth , dry .

Speaker 1

We were talking about the only time we felt anything like this on the wish .

Speaker 2

I remember we were in Aarondale tonight , which is all around .

Speaker 5

Remember there was a window and you saw a pungent right there .

Speaker 1

yeah , and it was between Massal and Castellay King , which is like in Miles . So if you look at the bridge report , we were in the ocean , like just Because they're half . There were 80 miles and nine 15 hours to go , four hours for the cruise Right . So every time they would and they turned pretty sharp a couple of times while we were in the dinner and all of a sudden they came .

Speaker 5

They're like oh , they're turning , but that was the only motion we felt .

Speaker 3

So what did they do last night when they went from Gratola to St Thomas , when it was 10 miles apart ?

Speaker 5

They were kind of just driving they were racing track .

Speaker 3

It was smooth last night .

Speaker 1

Yeah , it was . I was probably trying some of it , yeah .

Speaker 4

Well , I went up on the top deck 13 , which is towards the bow , because I wanted to see the water coming up over the bow , but Dan had blocked off . It was a road wave , yeah , the road wave . Right Missed that .

Speaker 1

But , 50 knot winds , I guess is they had everything strapped down . Oh yeah , we were up there in the sport deck . This one , this one , because we did the sports there , the golf simulator , so it was worth talking about A piece . They're a better golf simulator than every golf deck .

Speaker 5

I know , but we were on a ship . We also had . Neither of us have played in a year .

Speaker 4

We did the tube .

Speaker 5

It's Aqua Aqueduct .

Speaker 4

The hardest part was getting out of that raft .

Speaker 2

No doubt I couldn't see anything on the other mouse , I could not get out of there . Oh my god , you got to roll over on your stuff . I was trying to nail me for behind because I was taking so long to get out .

Speaker 1

See , it's still an Aqua mouse . When we did it , we were gathering . Yeah , they made us ride together , so it was even worse Two of us trying to get him out of there .

Speaker 3

Yeah , old-fashioned people trying to get out of there and Dan and . I were the smart ones . We stood down below and watched him go past .

Speaker 5

I just want to go through the thing .

Speaker 3

I'm like that's cool , we got him .

Speaker 5

They wouldn't let us take our phone , even though we had it in a waterproof case . Yeah , what do you mean ? And we actually had it in a waterproof case around our neck . That goes don't put cans in the case , dude . That's the whole point of this waterproof thing . I'm like . But oh my god , I'm like .

Speaker 2

What type of food would you like to eat ?

Speaker 5

Big shoulder mounted cameras . Yeah , I get that .

Speaker 2

They didn't like the Dough Crow . Yeah , on your core , it's bigger than your head .

Speaker 1

Yeah , I only do that now , first time we went on doorcapes .

Speaker 5

I'm going around my head .

Speaker 1

Yes , I'm not a , and that's funny because you know when you're in the room . You've got that , yes . So , when you're in the room where Terry Crews is , you give him a stand .

Speaker 2

Yes .

Speaker 1

They're specific about Terry recording the vice , because it's not the media .

Speaker 2

And he says they're the same . Yes , they're the same Look .

Speaker 1

So I'm standing there while this video goes on , next to Dave Young . I have a go-to trail on my head with a red light on it . He says it's recording right ? Yes , although I was prepared to tell the cast member no , red means stop , it's not my , but I'm standing there with the thing on my head . Nobody said anything . I'm hurt . I walked in and recorded the entire thing . It's absolutely terrible .

Speaker 2

It's way too dark , I can't see the craft it's . It's a little bit like faster than you can imagine which part of my head it's like . Not , I couldn't see it .

Speaker 1

But other than the stuff on the screen , it's occasionally you can't tell what the side is doing .

Speaker 5

Yeah , they have to be pointed that direction to be able to see it , because it turns that way , you can't see it .

Speaker 1

Yes , so but yeah , they're not very serious about that . They are on Tron , yes , however , because Nick King Tarlin tried to take it on and they were told Chest Right , yeah , I can't write . So that's just Scooter's little Tron , which is a federal bomber .

Speaker 2

It's like , you know , an avatars . You know I can't do that anymore Because it's just a little late , so I have to . They have nothing as avatars , but the back of the pond they had that sort of car . Yeah , yeah , you know that stuff is . It's so exciting . Yeah , I've done that Walk in . Like me , it's going to be your purple old van the last time I rode it .

Speaker 1

They put it on and as soon as they last rode it , I was like this is not good With the back . It was not good , so I set it up .

Speaker 3

Can you write everything ?

Speaker 1

I probably can . And I mean actually by the time , by the time we took it off , it actually was a great orbit .

Speaker 2

And we were just moving out . So I think the best part of the avatars is standing at the end and watching people come out , and it's I've actually never seen that . Oh , my goodness , I've missed it . Then the tech guy out of it . Oh listen , it's like whoa .

Speaker 1

I talked to people that I've been on it with , but I thought it was a little too . One was called girl .

Speaker 5

Yeah , and the other was Alan .

Speaker 1

No , I got my first three . It was Kurt's phone . Oh yeah , oh three with you guys , he was not doing good at all when we got on that .

Discussing Disney Cruise Experience and Pronunciations

Speaker 4

I've got a photograph of a woman barfing in front of a Hollywood studios in the square right now . And it's like it was the grids . I said I gotta get a picture of this . It was the grids Kids here face . She's been down and she's got her friend next to her trying to . You know .

Speaker 4

Mickey's magical , oh the hat . The hat was in front of that , in that big open area , right Right in the middle of the open area . It's a really great photograph .

Speaker 3

It's like the best plan I've ever taken . You know I got one of those captions from my doctor , so funny . Just in case I haven't used it , I'll give it to Kurt for busy next week and he can go out on the ride and he can move the bag , you can get it like in a . Christmas car or something yeah .

Speaker 5

Give it a little box . Give a little box and hand it to him and go . This is for Mickey Right . If he says here and you need this , he's flying in tomorrow .

Speaker 3

Speaker 3

No , it's not supposed to go back up into the front .

Speaker 5

Okay , so it was really cool when we went last Friday to Hollywood and all we saw because all the skyliner cars were gone , it was just the service vehicle on it . It was really cool seeing that .

Speaker 1

Well , the Hollywood the animal kingdom .

Speaker 3

The pop sentry to Caribbean , to the studios , is supposed to be open and the line from Caribbean to F-Fax is supposed to open on Saturday .

Speaker 4

Is it Caribbean Caribbean ?

Speaker 5

It's Caribbean Pirates of the Caribbean and Caribbean Beach . They're the same , I know , but their pronunciation is supposed to be the same Pirates of the Caribbean and the Caribbean Beach are supposed to be pronounced the same , according to Disney .

Speaker 1

Oh cool , they got it the day we all streamed all straight down to Disney the last character said that they are supposed to have the same pronunciation per company policy . It's funny because I have a meme that was like what does not simply pronounce Caribbean and Caribbean in the same way ? And this conversation came up the other day because somebody had posted something on Facebook that was like do you pronounce it D-A-T-A or D-A-T-A Data ?

Speaker 1

or data Data or data , and the reply was I think that I pronounced it two different ways . When I read the X , it was like is it data or data ?

Speaker 2

What's the data on the ?

Speaker 5

start check .

Speaker 2

Yes .

Speaker 1

I feel like it depends on what you're writing .

Speaker 4

I looked at data points and I realized that data Listen to this closely , Judy , because you're always correcting me on it . What ?

Speaker 2

It's data and data .

Speaker 4

It's Caribbean , caribbean it's like who cares ?

Speaker 5

It's like what is it ? Data and data , it does matter .

Speaker 1

Do you ?

Speaker 4

understand the terminology when you hear it .

Speaker 5

I know I understand either way people pronounce it . I understand what it is , but it still matters .

Speaker 4

Mentally , you look at it as you just said it correctly or yeah , you just said it wrong In your own mind , right ? Often she doesn't say it in her own mind , though .

Speaker 1

What .

Speaker 4

Yes .

Speaker 1
