Hello and welcome to Circular Parks podcast episode number 184. Today we are picking back up with our secret series, with the Secrets of Hollywood Studios. There is far too much to see and do. We are here to help guide you through, but before we do that, we must talk Disney merch. So this week, disneystorecom they've added a whole lot of new items. If you go to DisneyStorecom, click on the Home Collection section, and they have added some really cute Mickey items, such as a paper towel holder, an icon lamp, a desk clock with Mickey Mouse countdown calendars, throw pillows and more.
Speaker 1:And I just it's not so much in your face, it's very calm, neutral colors, and maybe that's why I like it. It's just a cleaner look to it and maybe that's why I like it. It's just a cleaner look to it. The paper towel holder is priced at $39.99. The icon lamp is the same price as well, and so is the desk clock, but then your countdown calendar is $49.99. Your throw pillow is $39.99. But there's a lot of other items as well as plate sets, bowl sets and more. So please go check that out.
Speaker 2:Thank you everybody for joining us. Episode number 184, the Secrets of Hollywood Studios, excuse me, and this one was a lot of fun to research, continuing on with our series with Secrets of the Parks, and there's so much more that you can talk about. There's just so much yeah. And this one is really cool. There is a lot of older Disney movie history here which I wouldn't really call secrets, so I tried to it's just not like in your face. It's there, it's subtle, but it's there.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So, if you're new here, I'm Zach, I'm Brittany and we do this episode, this show, I'm sorry every single week and our goal is to take you to Disney, break your week up, for about 45 minutes to an hour every single week Helps us break our week up. We enjoy doing these shows. We go to Disney. Take your mind off what you're doing, whatever you're doing during the middle of the week. And our other goal is to help you have a better Disney vacation. Vacation maybe slow down a little bit, appreciate the stuff that's in the park more parks, excuse me, instead of just going from ride to ride to ride and that's what the Secrets episode is kind of about is to try to help you appreciate the smaller things that the Imagineers have done here in the parks, because there's some really, really cool parks.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah.
Speaker 2:And nothing is just randomly set somewhere. There's no random numbers or anything like that. It's there for a reason Everything means something, so we'll get right into it the Secrets of Hollywood Studios. So the entrance, it's very unique looking, correct it? Is. And it is also the same entrance for Disney's California Adventure.
Speaker 1:Yes, they mirror each other quite a bit.
Speaker 2:They are exactly the same and what are they after? It's a bit it is. They are exactly the same and what are they after. It looks it's a very distinct look right, it is it is modeled after the pan pacific auditorium never heard of that?
Speaker 2:no, I haven't either, until I researched the pan pacific auditorium was a landmark structure in the fair fact, fair facts district of Los Angeles. It once stood near the site of Gilmore Field, an early Los Angeles baseball stadium or venue predating Dodger Stadium. It was located within sight of both CBS Television City on the southeast corner of Beverly and Fairfax Avenue, and the Farmer's Market on the northeast corner of 3rd and fairfax. For over 35 years it was the premier location for indoor public events in los angeles. The facility was closed in 1972, beginning 17 years of steady neglect and decay. In 1978, the pan pacific auditorium was included in the national register of historic places, but 11 years later was destroyed in a fire oh really so that's what it's uh, modeled after everything in hollywood studios on hollywood boulevard and sunset boulevard and echo lake area.
Speaker 2:It's all designed after old hollywood structures and buildings like that, which we'll see more here in just a minute.
Speaker 1:Right, like the Chinese Theater and everything. Very iconic looking though. No, it is, and they definitely mirror each other for California Adventure and Hollywood Studios. And yeah, I mean it is. I don't know you feel like you're going into something of a studio auditorium type, now that you said that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah, all right. So all the shops on Hollywood and Sunset Boulevard are named after real shops in Hollywood. So there's a Mickey's of Hollywood store, right? Yes, what shop do you think this one is named after?
Speaker 1:I don't know after I don't know. Like I know, the story itself is like a time travel with. Mickey, basically to the early days and right all that, but I don't know what to relate it to back in Hollywood.
Speaker 2:Frederick's. Oh, the adults will know what that is. Yeah okay interesting. There you go, uh-huh, uh-huh. Okay. All right, the Crossroads of the World Tower in the middle, right when you walk in the entrance there, right that big tower. It has Mickey on top and it's got, like all your maps and little souvenirs and whatnot below it.
Speaker 2:So that also serves as a lightning rod first of all, I can see that but there is an actual location in Los Angeles that has this exact tower, just not Mickey. Just not Mickey on top. Okay, the Mickey is unique to Hollywood Studios, but the Crossroads of the World is an open-air mall on Sunset Boulevard in Los Palmas in Los Angeles. The mall features a central building designed to resemble an ocean liner, surrounded by a small village of cottage-style bungalows. It was designed by Robert V Dara and built in 1936 and has been called America's first outdoor shopping mall. Now you can still see the structure, like the tower structure, but everything else is fenced off. Now a youtuber we watch, adam the woo, went there recently and and showed the actual structure and everything else is like fenced off and walled off and everything. So it's no longer an outdoor shopping area, but it is.
Speaker 1:you can still see this iconic structure in los angeles right, I know, I know in the park like I like the the tower yeah, yeah, uh.
Speaker 2:So echo lake we're gonna go to echo lake. Echo lake is inspired by the same neighborhood name in california. Its architecture is called california crazy. I'm being serious about this okay we will talk about that more in a minute but it's called california california crazy okay interesting right, more kind of like an art deco, because it's very art deco ish, yeah, it is looking right yeah yeah, so in echo lake is pv's polar pipeline.
Speaker 2:Now, if you're a long-time listener of this, you this uh podcast. You know what this is. Yes, you've talked about it. I've talked about it before, what this is. Yes, you've talked about it before I've talked about it before and this is probably being a big Walt fan. This is probably one of my coolest, one of the coolest secrets here, right next to Peavey's. Peavey's real name is Ambrose Peabody and he was the mechanic in the movie the Rocketeer.
Speaker 1:Remember that movie I do A long time ago, yeah, yeah, yeah, like early 90s. Yeah, I remember watching it as a kid.
Speaker 2:I really, really liked it. In the corner next to one of the frozen Coke machines, you'll see the Rocketeer helmet and jet pack. These are actual screen used props from the movie. Okay, pretty cool, huh.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I'll have to look for that next time.
Speaker 2:Yeah, to the right of Peavey's you'll find a door that says Holly Vermont Realty and above that sign says Office Space for Rent. Hmm, okay, okay. This is a nod to the first office space the Walt Disney Company rented in the back of Holly Vermont Realty Company in Hollywood. They rented one little office space in the back of this real estate office called Holly Vermont Realty.
Speaker 1:Way back when they started, way back when they first moved into Hollywood.
Speaker 2:Okay, that's pretty cool. I like that. Nod to Walt.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Above this building is a billboard advertising for Maroon Studios with Baby Herman, roger Rabbit and Jessica Rabbit on on it. This is a nod to the movie who framed roger rabbit? I love this movie. This is like a quintessential childhood movie for me when I was growing up. I need to go back and watch it as an adult and see, I bet it hits very differently as an adult.
Speaker 2:Sure a lot of them do but what I love about this is that I went to Hollywood Studios. I vaguely remember going, but I do remember that I was around the time where who Framed Roger Rabbit came out. It was one of my favorite movies and there was so much who Framed Roger Rabbit theming and merchandise and they went really heavy on the advertising of who Framed Roger Rabbit, on the advertising of who. Framed Roger.
Speaker 2:Rabbit, and I had read that it was supposed to have more of a presence in the park who Framed Roger Rabbit did than it actually did. But there are some really cool nods and this billboard is one of them.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Remember that movie.
Speaker 1:I remember the movie but I wouldn't be able to recite it to you or anything like that, because I think I only watched it one time. It can be a little scary, yeah, because I think I only watched it like one time. It can be a little scary, yeah. And I think that's for me, like, even though we're just a couple years apart, I think just that timing of when it was out and when I watched it I maybe wasn't quite ready for it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, yeah. So why is there a dinosaur in Echo Lake? I don't know, but I like Gertie I don't know, but I like Gertie, you like Gertie, right, mm-hmm? So the dinosaur's name is Gertie. Gertie the Dinosaur was a well-known animated cartoon star and made its first appearance in 1913. Oh.
Speaker 2:Walt loved Gertie so much he recreated the dinosaur in 1955 for the story of the animated drawing which aired on Disneyland TV. So to honor Walt's love for Gertie, the Imagineers thought Echo Lake would be a great place for Gertie, since it would fit with the California crazy theming. Okay, makes sense now, right, yeah, yeah. And there's an actual lake in Echo Lake neighborhood in California. Okay.
Speaker 2:But there is a little bit of a history written outside. There's a little plaque next to the ice cream stand which is Gertie a history written outside. There's a little plaque next to the ice cream stand, which is Gertie. I forgot the name of the Gertie ice cream stand, whatever, but it's there.
Speaker 1:And it's about Gertie. It's about Gertie, yeah.
Speaker 2:So I think that's kind of cool. Also, when you're around Echo Lake, check out some of the shipping crates around there. You'll see some nods to some pretty famous movies with addresses and names written on them.
Speaker 2:Hmm okay, so keep an eye on those. There's quite a few of those In Grand Avenue at Muppet Vision 3D. There's so many Easter eggs and secrets and just nods to little stuff in Muppet Vision 3D and Grand Avenue, but here are two of my favorite. So there's a security window that says back in five minutes. Minutes key is under the mat. If you lift the mat, there's a key under the mat and it's a security window and it's mentioning.
Speaker 2:Here's the key, basically, yeah the pre-show area for Muppet Vision 3D. Again it's full of Easter eggs and so many little puns, but my favorite is a net above the guests and reads a net full of jello.
Speaker 1:Okay, and it's a nod to somebody very famous.
Speaker 2:This is a nod to legendary Mouseketeer Annette Funicello.
Speaker 1:So Annette Funicello, a net full of jello. I think that's pretty cool. That is, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:So in Star Wars there's so much in Star Wars Galaxy's.
Speaker 1:Edge.
Speaker 2:And this is just. I have to narrow some of it down right. There's just so much in there. In Galaxy's Edge, the droid tracks on the ground are actually from the screen used R2-D2. You know the little it has. The two tracks and one in the middle Screen used R2-D2, that's what it's actually from. They took it and when the concrete was still just wet, rolled it around.
Speaker 1:Okay, I think that's really cool, yeah, and you definitely do see those tracks, you do yes, also, there's another very famous screen-used prop in Galaxy's Edge. What is?
Speaker 2:that the X-Wing fighter as you exit. Why am I going blank on the name of the attraction right now? The Rises of Resistance. Oh yeah, and you exit. Rises of Resistance. You know, there's like the little gift cart stands right there. There's a blue X-Wing fighter behind it. I believe, so We've gotten our picture in front of it before. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, that is screen used from the Mandalorian series. Oh, okay, that's pretty cool.
Speaker 2:I think that's really really cool. Yeah, in Galaxy's Edge, at the water fill station in the market area by the bathrooms. You know what I'm talking about. Yes, all talking about. Yes, all right, there's some murky water above that where you put your water in, right?
Speaker 1:where you refill it, where you refill it.
Speaker 2:There's some murky water above it. Have you noticed that?
Speaker 1:I don't know if I've noticed that part or not.
Speaker 2:Well, if you stand there long enough when you're filling your water bottle, you'll see an eye pop up from the murky water. Interesting. This is the Dionga Monster from the Death Star Trash Compactor from A Star Wars A New Hope.
Speaker 1:Oh, I'll have to look for that next time.
Speaker 2:It kind of creeps you when you're just filling up your water bottle and you see this eye pop up.
Speaker 1:I'm sure, and maybe the reason I haven't seen it is you're usually the ones filling the water bottle yes, yeah yeah, but I have used those restrooms and stuff in that area yeah, so that can kind of creep you out, yeah I could see me jumping yeah all right, there is also not a hidden mickey, but a hidden millennium falcon.
Speaker 2:the Millennium Falcon Only in. Florida, only in Hollywood Studios. This is not in Disneyland. When I asked the cast members in Disneyland about it, they looked at me like I was stupid.
Speaker 1:Yeah, they're like what. The particular one that you asked, he had no idea about it being in Orlando.
Speaker 2:So I will share that reel that I made about it, but it's really really cool Once you find it you're like.
Speaker 1:ah, it takes a while to find.
Speaker 2:It does take a while to find, I can tell you where it is really really cool. Alright, so we're going to move on to Toy Story Land. So Toy Story Land is meant to make you feel like you're the size of Andy's toys in the backyard.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:So on the ground you'll see giant footprints, and these are. Andy's. I just have one complaint about Andy's backyard what? Because they're not planting any trees? I mean seriously, Andy's mom could have had like one tree back there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but no, yeah, there's not a lot of shade in Toy Story Land. No shade in Toy Story.
Speaker 2:Land Do they live in, like the desert or something I want to know where they live at, because it looks like from the movie their house has trees around the house.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's a quaint looking neighborhood. Mm-hmm, just saying, but they weren't in the backyard, I don't think.
Speaker 2:They could have had some in the backyard.
Speaker 1:Yeah, but no, but they do a really good job of making you feel like you are the size of toys, because everything else that would normally be smaller is like blown up.
Speaker 2:The crayons, the Tinker toys and the connects and all that stuff Again. There's so many like items in here but you got to kind of have to narrow it down. So in Toy Story Land the standby wait time for Slinky Dog Dash looks like a dog tag. Right.
Speaker 2:Yes, if you look behind it, it has Buster's name and address on it. Oh, the doggy that is Andy's dog. Also in the queue for Slinky Dog Dash is the drawings and piece inventory for Slinky Dog Dash, and you thought I was nuts when I pointed this out to you.
Speaker 1:Because the very first time or two I was nuts when I pointed this out to you, because the very because the very first time or two, I just I was like yeah, whatever, yeah, whatever. And then the first time we really had to wait in line for a little while, I was like oh, it is, it truly is drawings. How to piece it together, what pieces are supposed to be there? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2:So when you're about to board, you'll see the drawings and all that stuff behind where you board at. There's a lot of hidden Mickeys in there. There's one in the top right corner, but then also the spiraling of the notebook. If you look carefully, some of them look like they're torn into Mickeys. Oh, really yes.
Speaker 2:Okay, so you got to look careful on that. Yeah, huh, interesting, yeah, I think that's pretty cool, yeah, when you're on Slinky Dog Dash. As you exit the station of Slinky Dog Dash, look to Rex's toy box to the left. Okay. You know what I'm talking about? Where they. It's like where the trains go at night. It's like where the trains go at night. It's like a big box. Okay. On that. The price tag says $19.95. This is a nod to when Toy Story came out in 1995. The price tag is $19.95.
Speaker 1:Is the price tag big or you kind of have to look for it. It's kind of big. I don't know why. I can't picture it right now, but okay.
Speaker 2:As you exit Toy Story Land towards the main part of Hollywood Studios, you'll see Walt Disney's One man Dream on the left.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Highly, highly recommend you go. I think this should be outside. This shouldn't even be outside the park.
Speaker 2:This should be outside of every park or something similar anyway, and at least the movie part and if you're a first timer, you have to go and sit and watch the movie before you go into the theme. Whichever theme park you're going into for the first time, it's mandatory. You have to sit and watch this before doing anything it's not, but I can see why you're saying that it should. I'm saying it is, it should be yeah, because it.
Speaker 1:I mean there's so many like items of history in there, whether they're the real or replica, but you know, it just really takes you down Walt's road, basically.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but I'm talking about the movie.
Speaker 1:No, no, no, I know, but I'm just saying, like here in Hollywood Studios though, as you, though, as you walk through that area, though there's other items to see as well, but the movie part, yes, it's very touching as well, like I felt myself kind of tear up in it when we watched it.
Speaker 2:Right, it should be required watching before you even step foot in Disney Park as a first timer. So you can appreciate this because it's so good as a first timer. So you can appreciate this because it's so good. Well, inside it's just a treasure trove of old Disney items and models that they built and replicas, including Walt's old school desk. This is not a replica. This is the real deal. Okay.
Speaker 2:And there is a multi-plane camera. I don't know if it's a replica or one of the original ones, but it was revolutionary in adding depth to cartoons that otherwise was not there right and it's huge, it's so big, so big, and there's a replica of walt's office in there.
Speaker 1:So yeah, the whole setup is is very nice yeah, um, so we're moving on.
Speaker 2:Twilight Zone, tower of Terror. So many here. If you watch the series Twilight Zone, there's so many nods to episodes and characters throughout the attraction I haven't seen. I'm not a fan of the show, but there's just so many of them. But here are a few of my few, a few of my few. Here are a few of my few. A few of my few. Here are a few of my favorite. So the tower did you know the tower? Hollywood tower is actually connected to rock and roller coaster. Had no idea there is a connection. One of the producers of g-force records, which is the part of hollywood, I'm sorry, rock and roller coaster right, this was g-force records. Yes, yes, was attending the Halloween party the night of the hotel's disaster. It was struck by lightning and everybody disappeared and all this stuff, right, okay, that's the whole backstory to Hollywood Tower of Terror. But they mysteriously escaped before the lightning struck. Hmm.
Speaker 2:The mysterious reopening of the hotel coincided with the G-Force record signing big acts like Aerosmith Interesting.
Speaker 1:Very interesting, very interesting Spooky stuff going on there.
Speaker 2:So, the. Mahjong game in the lobby appears to have had players disappear mid-game. To achieve this, the Imagineers hired professional Mahjong players to play and told them just to stop whenever mid-game. To achieve this, the Imagineers hired professional Mahjong players to play and told them just to stop whenever mid-game, the Imagineers were like okay, you're done, stop. So it looks like they disappeared.
Speaker 1:Like a game was truly being played and they disappeared in the middle.
Speaker 2:So if you're a Mahjong player, you'll know exactly what was going on there, and there's just so many the lobby area here and I know if you're using a fat, what is it called now? Multi-lane or multi-pass, fast pass?
Speaker 2:multi-pass, multi-pass, whatever, and I think they've changed it I don't know the fast skipping the line, whatever they call it. Now, erica, help us out. Um, you miss a lot of this because you don't spend a lot of time in the lobby but in the hotel directory has letters missing off the hotel directory. If you look at the bottom it will spell out take the stairs.
Speaker 1:Take the stairs, okay, oh, because of the elevator.
Speaker 2:Okay, and again, there's so many shows, references to the show. The Imagineers actually had to watch every Twilight Zone episode.
Speaker 1:To just get everything. To get everything from it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so I thought that was. You're getting paid to watch TV.
Speaker 1:Right. But I mean they do that and that's the thing, like with Imagineers. Like they really thoroughly research history or if it involves movies, or if they're centering it around like an actual place in the world. Like they they thoroughly research, go to these places, get items from these places. You know it's, it's.
Speaker 2:You don't think about all the work that really goes into it also, when you're in the elevator, when it's going down, it's not free-falling to achieve the weightlessness effect the imagineers wanted. You're actually being pulled faster than the speed of great. You're being pulled faster than 32.3 feet per second or something like that is the speed of gravity 32.3 feet per second, or something like that the speed of gravity 32.3 feet per second. You're being pulled down faster than that, so you're weightless more.
Speaker 2:Hmm, I mean, I guess it makes sense, and so when the Imagineers went to all the elevator manufacturers to design this for them, they were like you're nuts, we're not going to build that for you. So Disney built this themselves Okay, that for you. So disney built this themselves, okay. So I think that's really, really cool.
Speaker 1:Do you have any secrets you would like to share? No, not really, I mean, but I think there could be so many more, definitely like galaxy's edge and uh, I mean in in every disney park. There's just so many secrets and that's why we thought that this would be a good series. You know, and and again, there's so much that Imagineers do and, as we were saying earlier, a number is there for a reason, whether it's a nod to someone's birthday or a year. A movie came out, you know. Uh, the, the colors they're a color for a reason. I mean just everything that they have in the rides, outside, the rides, on windows. There's meaning behind it.
Speaker 2:Do you want to hear how Hollywood Studios came to be, or not? Really, this isn't really a history episode, is it? You can.
Speaker 2:Do you think it'd be interesting? Yeah, so Michael Eisner, before he became CEO of the Walt Disney Company, was I don't know if he was with Paramount, I forgot the studios he was with, but he was a high-level executive and was I can look it up. He was famous for a lot of really, really good movies that weren't like huge hits, but he called them singles and doubles. They were successful enough to make him famous enough.
Speaker 1:It was Paramount, paramount.
Speaker 2:Well, didn't Paramount own Universal?
Speaker 1:Well, now you're asking me too many questions.
Speaker 2:I'm not sure. Anyway, before Eisner was named CEO of the Walt Disney Company, the story goes, he was in on a meeting where they were talking about having a theme park based around movie studios, but nothing was set in stone. It was just kind of a meeting that some executives were talking about blah blah blah.
Speaker 2:So when he got to disney they announced mgn, hollywood studios and mgm. Because mgm and hollywood studios did a kind of partnership so they could use some of mgm's ip intellectual property right. Right as soon as hollywood studios was announced, universal studios was announced as well, and some people claim that michael leisner stole the idea of a working studios theme park from universal interesting, but I don't think paramount owned them yeah, okay, well, also, universal was set to open before hollywood studios and when michael eisner figured this out he had to open it first, right, yeah.
Speaker 2:So hollywood studios, or hollywood ngm studios, used to be a real working studios. They had back lots. They had a lot of the early 90s animated movies were done in Hollywood. I know Mulan was done in Hollywood studios, parts of Aladdin, all that. It used to be a real working series and you could tour like the animation studios. I think that would have been so cool.
Speaker 1:Oh yeah, I would love that now because I enjoy when we've done drawings with Imagineers and stuff in Animal Kingdom, at Rafiki's Planet Watch or at Disney's California Adventure, so I would love that I think it's just so cool and now.
Speaker 2:So Hollywood Studios has kind of changed its identity from being a working studios because obviously I don't think they were making a lot of money on the studios part of that and move more into putting you into the movie, the movie. Also interesting fact the at at outside of star tours. Oh yeah, it's just a prop. If you look behind it, it's just there's nothing behind it. So this goes with the theming of the studios.
Speaker 1:Right, it's just the front right it's not a full-size thing okay so I don't know, I just find that interesting yeah but that whole area, the way they did, it's really it's done so I mean I know now like galaxy's edge kind of overshadows that, but I still like that.
Speaker 2:There's a lot of great detail in that queue for star tours even before, like the ewok village. Before you go inside the queue yeah all right, so this brings us to disney trivia. Now, before we get to disney trivia, I have some sad news to talk about. Okay, this will be the last disney trivia we do.
Speaker 1:Oh, yes, I didn't know what sad news you're about to say.
Speaker 2:Yes, unfortunately unfortunately, my schedule, my real work schedule this is just fun, I wish this was a real job has changed drastically and we will not be able to record every single week. Now you, the listener, will not know a difference, because we'll still be putting an episode out every week. We'll just be recording twice a week instead of once a week. Yeah, so you, the listener, won't notice a difference in our schedule, but there will be one week that we just will not be able to record at all. So we're going to be doing two episodes a week but only releasing one a week. Because of this, I've tried to work this out in my head every which way, and the logistics of it just do not work out to have disney trivia every single week, because it just would not, I think you could, it would not it would not line up this is too much, yes, but I think, if, what?
Speaker 2:if enough people said, no, we want trivia no, I'm sorry, sweeney I, there's's too much to try to make this work. It just won't work.
Speaker 1:Now, you know, and who knows, schedules could change again, you know, and if that happens and it allows it, then it may return.
Speaker 2:But for the time being so I've been thinking about, instead of doing a Disney trivia, doing a putting some would you rathers up there on Twitter and Instagram and like reading everybody's answers, or having you the listeners, send us some, would you rathers, and we'll answer them on air. Or have you send us some some trivia? Yeah, and we'll answer them on air. That way it's not, oh, this is this week's specific winner, or whatever, because it would just be too convoluted that way. But, yeah, what do you think? Maybe put out some, would you rathers, and we'll yeah, I mean I'm, I'm.
Speaker 1:I think those are good ideas, but I do think you are going to have some people say you got to figure out how to. I know I trust me, I've tried to figure it out.
Speaker 2:It's just because we'll be recording one week, on tuesday for that week's episode and then Thursday for the next week's episode.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So there's no. I'd have to do trivia on Tuesday. See what I mean Not enough time and stuff, it's just not, it's just not enough.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it's just too confusing for me Right and with some of the trivia questions, like sometimes you guys guess right off the bat and then other times it does take a day or so I'm sorry she's saying y'all guess I know y'all know them. So all right, you know, but sometimes they are guesses okay, anyways anyway, all right so moving on.
Speaker 2:So this week's last disney trivia. So I didn't know this when I posted it, but I'm glad this is the last Disney trivia. This is a great question. So I posted a picture of the windows above the Hollywood and Vine restaurant. One of the windows has an outline of a character busting through the window and next to this is the window says Eddie Valiant, private investigator. What movie is this from?
Speaker 2:Now, quite a few got it right A lot of y'all did Thank you so much from Instagram and Twitter. A lot of y'all answered and I really do appreciate it and it's great to know that there's still a huge appreciation of this movie in the park. And then a lot of y'all still know what this movie is and the answer is who Framed Roger Rabbit? Again, who Framed Roger Rabbit was supposed to have a much bigger presence in Hollywood studios, but it you know it did not. But I'm still glad some of these remnants remain from that time.
Speaker 1:Right.
