Speaker 1: 0:04

Welcome to the D Love podcast with Vanessa and Chris. I'm Vanessa Ferguson. And

Speaker 2: 0:09

I'm Chris Johns.

Speaker 1: 0:10

We'd like to welcome you to show number 127 and for any listeners joining us for the first time, our show features things we love at Disney. And in each episode we have a guest who creates Disney Magic for our listeners at home or on their Disney vacations. From vacation planners to product producers, our guests can bring Disney Magic into your life. And as a reminder to our listeners, we appreciate if you can take time to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts or any other platform where you listen that helps new listeners find us and of course helps us show grow. Now before we get started, Chris, we as usual, we have a message from our friends@orlandovacation.com

Speaker 2: 0:47

And that message is save money. The most important thing about going to Disney is having the money to spend on all the things you wanna buy<laugh>. And the great way to save money is by using a property through orlando vacation.com. Use the code dis love D I S L O V E to save 5% off your next booking of three or more nights. And as we know, if you're not a resident of Central Florida, you're not gonna go to Disney for less than three nights, correct<laugh>. And so the great thing about Orlando vacation.com is they have properties that are fit for a small family. There's just three of us, Vanessa, myself, and our daughter. And we also have friends that have four kids and wanna take a long family. So they have properties that can encompass any size of family. And if you're gonna do a group a family reunion, a get together, do it in Orlando vacation.com property. And when you do that, use the code dis love at checkout, you save 5% and that's a great way to have money for souvenirs and things in the park. You know what I use? And for food<laugh>, I got my chocolate chip cookie sandwich. I got two chocolate chip cookies and I got cookies and cream ice cream and that was for money I saved. And if I would've saved, went to an Orlando vacation.com property, I would've saved even more money to spend an ice cream

Speaker 1: 2:00

<laugh>. All right, so remember to use that code. And on today's show we are going to be joined by Katie from Goldilocks Mama. Her business offers Disney inspired headbands and other hair accessories. They're super cute. I'm excited to share all about her business with you. But before we get to our interview with Katie today, we're gonna be talking about all of the Easter festivities at Walt Disney World. Uh, like to give a special thank you to the Disney and to Disney Tourist blog. Found some great things on there. And then also sharing, we were just in Orlando and went to Disney and we were able to catch an early part of some of the festivities as well. So we'll be talking about that a lot. And we've been there during previous years. I will give kind of a warning if you go the week of Easter or really the week before, week after, the park's gonna be crazy busy because usually a lot of places Easter coincides with spring break. So that's something to keep in mind. So we're not necessarily saying that this is always your best choice in terms of having easy access on rides and that sort of things, but if you're there and you have to go at this time or even during March and April, some of these things are gonna be going on. So we're looking forward to sharing all of that with you. Now. We'll first start at the parks and then we'll move to some of the resorts and talking about some of the food. So starting off at Magic Kingdom now, it's been a while since we were there when they were actually at the parks, but for the week or two right before Easter, Mr and Mrs Easter Bunny will be there and they call it the Bunny Lane Garden. It's right by the, it's the town square courtyard by on Main Street usa. So really it's right by city hall right near the entrance. You'll see it over to the left. This is where Santa does his meet and greets as well. And often there's not a long line to see that Easter Bunny and Mrs. Easter Bunny and we did this years ago. Chris, do you remember seeing the Easter Bunny at Magic Kingdom?

Speaker 2: 4:01

I sure do.

Speaker 1: 4:03

And they, they're top notch Easter bunnies because I will tell you, there have been some scary Easter bunnies that we've seen near where we live in Michigan and this is a good Easter

Speaker 2: 4:12

Bunny. Very good. Not the thing of dreams, not nightmares

Speaker 1: 4:16

<laugh>. That is very true. Um, so if you're there, usually there's not a long line. I think maybe just people don't notice it or maybe they're, I mean you're not at Disney to see the Easter Bunny, but if you're there you can get some great pictures. So that's always fun to do. And usually it's for a couple weeks leading up to Easter. They are usually during the day from like nine to five ish. So check out um, on the app to see when the meeting meet and greet is and then usually there is a PhotoPass person there as well. Now this is something we've never saw in person because we're not there for Easter weekend, but if you were at the Magic Kingdom on Easter weekend, there is uh, there's kind of a thing that's called the Azalea Trail Maids. These are high school seniors that come, they're official ambassadors from Mobile, Alabama. And they come and they wear the kind of the traditional period dresses that around the timeframe for Main Street usa. They're dressed like their dresses look like flowers and they will be in the, usually whatever parades taking place at Magic Kingdom. They've been doing it for over 40 years. I've saw pictures and the costumes are really beautiful. So that's something fun if you happen to be there that weekend, I'd love to see your photos, share them with us because I've saw pictures online and it looks super beautiful. So that's kind of a fun thing to do if you are there over Easter weekend. Now, something that has already started that started in mid-March this year and usually it's about three to four weeks before Easter, they have what's called the extravaganza scavenger hunt. And we talked about this a little bit in our episode about flower and garden. This takes place at Epcot and do you remember seeing when we were there a couple weeks ago, the hidden Easter eggs?

Speaker 2: 6:02

Yes I do.

Speaker 1: 6:04

Do you really?

Speaker 2: 6:05

Yes.

Speaker 1: 6:06

Okay,<laugh>. So we already saw some of these in Epcot. So essentially it's like the scavenger hunts they have for a lot of the festivals. You purchase it, it's$10, you get a map that has the stickers that tells you where they are throughout the world showcase. And essentially you hunt down their oversized eggs of Disney characters. So we saw two or three of them on our last day at Epcot when we were leaving to head home and they're super cute. What happens is you go around and as you find them you put the sticker on the map. Once you complete the map you go to Disney Traders or World World Traveler, which are the stores right at the kind of entrance to World Showcase coming from future world. And you get a special prize super fun thing to do with kids, adults. It's something to mix up what you might normally do at the park and a little tip, even if you don't find them all they will give you your price cuz essentially you've paid for it with that$10 cost. So that's a fun activity to do. I think all of these little hunts are fun in particular if you go to the parks a lot, it gives you something new to try. You can get a fun little prize. I have some pictures of the maps and of some of the eggs that I will definitely make sure to share and I think it just adds a little aspect. What do you think about some of those hunts? I think it's fun.

Speaker 2: 7:27

Well especially I think if, if this trip is your third or fourth round of Disney and allows you to kind of find those nooks and crannies that you might have not explored in the past or if you're there for the first time, you wanna ride all the rides and you wanna make sure you get as much outta your day. Whereas for us, you know, we're 20 plus rounds of Disney so far and we can really appreciate the time that you can put into a scavenger hunt. So for, I know we had friends a couple of visits ago where we did that and it was fun. It's just a nice way to really make sure that you see everything. The podcast offer

Speaker 1: 7:57

And the few that we did find on this trip, they are kind of tucked back in areas. So like the one at the UK Pavilion is back in the courtyard where they have the concerts and like Mary Poppins meet and greet. So it really does, like Chris was saying, it takes you into those nooks and crannies that you might not otherwise go to. Now we talk a lot about food and as you all know, food is a big part of our trips. Now every year there are usually a few of the restaurants on property that will have a special Easter brunch. Typically Olivia's Cafe, old Key West and Whispering Canyon at Wilderness Lodge as well as Ale Encompass at yacht club have a brunch. They have not made any announcements and we're already just a couple weeks out. The one place that has made an announcement for 2023 is Steakhouse 71. It's only available on Easter Sunday and it's a brunch they have, they have some special menu items, Floridian eggs Benedict, which is two poached eggs and a crab cake with a Holland sauce. They also have some special bacon and eggs that's made with pork belly smoked cheese grits. And this is funny, I think there is like a bread pudding fad going on across Disney property cuz I do like bread pudding. But exclusive to this brunch is a hummingbird bread pudding that has pineapple banana, coconut bread pudding with candy pecan salted caramel and cream cheese, ice cream that is quite the bread pudding.

Speaker 2: 9:34

It's extravagant, it sounds delicious

Speaker 1: 9:36

<laugh>, so just like that hummingbird cake but in bread pudding form. So that is the brunch that's available. Now the area where you really get a wide range and I don't even have enough time to talk about everything are the snacks and we all know that Disney does snacks up for everything. Whenever there's a reason to have a special snack, they will put them out there. I will say some of these snacks are only available from April 1st until Easter Sunday. Other snacks are do are good for the entire month. So you'll definitely wanna check it out if there's something that you're interested in. A lot of the ones like at Disney Springs, at the Patisserie, in the gri, they will only have those available until April 9th. I think some of the cute things are like there is a, most of you have probably seen at the gri, they usually have hollow chocolate somethings that you can break open and there's something inside. They have a super cute bunny that when you break it open it's filled with little marshmallow treats. So fun little things like that. Also when you go to some of the resorts, there is a lot of great things as well and some of the snack highlights there are, you have at a lot of carrot cake items and ones that are super cute with like thumper themes. So at the food courts, at the All-Star Resorts, they have a Thumper carrot cake, which is so cute, it has a little thumper, it looks like he's made outta chocolate. And it has cream cheese frosting that's available all month. And then when you go over to Art of Animation, they have a coconut sugar bunny cupcake. It's a carrot cake with pineapple filling and then it has a cream cheese butter cream with a coconut sugar. I will say Disney has really slid a little bit on their cupcake game. So I'm hoping some of these are tasty, you'll have to let us know. And there are some even some more unusual things like over at the Beach Club. They have a carrot garden fudge. I'm not sure how I feel about this. It's a chocolate fudge with a vanilla carrot cookie. I'm hoping that it's really just vanilla flavored and there's no carrot flavor in there<laugh>. Um, you also have a lot of fun Easter egg chocolate. So at Beach Club as well, they have a Donald and a daisy egg. They also have um, some eggs at some of the other resorts as well at Beaches and Cream. I don't know how I feel about this. I like carrot cake. But Chris, what do you think about this at Beaches and Cream? The ice cream shop? Yes, they have a carrot cake milkshake for, for all of these Olive of April a vanilla MA milkshake with toasted marshmallow pineapple and shortcake tapped with a specialty carrot

Speaker 2: 12:28

Cake. Sounds delicious.

Speaker 1: 12:29

Yeah, I mean I love carrot cake so I'm, I'd be interested to check it out. Um, there's also some at Contempo Cafe, which is known for a lot of good things. They have a spring coconut macaroon and they also have a bunny tart, which sounds super cute really. You can just go on from there at, they also have a hummingbird cake. So you can have the hummingbird bread pudding at Sacco 71 but go upstairs to Contempo Cafe and get the hummingbird cake and then it just goes on from there. There's tons of carrot cake flavored things. Um, at some of the bars they have some special sangria's and other drinks. So check it out. Any of the restaurants you plan to go to or if you're staying at a different resort, look on the app, see what's available. Most of these are available throughout the month, so that's nice. So you don't have to necessarily be there Easter week, but check it out. Lots of great options for food throughout the, throughout the resorts and the parks as well. Now moving on from food, if you are religious, there are usually there will be religious services that are held in the Fantasia ballrooms at Disney's Contemporary Resort on Easter Sunday. You can check it out. There's usually Catholic mass as well as a Protestant se. Protestant service. So make sure to, you can inquire at the Contemporary Resort. They haven't published times for those yet, but those are usually every year on Easter Sunday as well. Now last but not least, we are gonna talk about the Easter egg displays at the resorts and I will say I think these are amazing works of art. Now Chris kind of wasn't super thrilled with them, but what did you think about those chocolate Easter eggs?

Speaker 2: 14:11

Oh, they're very elaborate.

Speaker 1: 14:12

Yes. And we've seen them more than once. We've seen them a couple of times.

Speaker 2: 14:15

Again, I would not call myself an art patron, no. So I'm not a good judge of art.

Speaker 1: 14:21

Now these are the equivalent of what you see at Christmas when they have the gingerbread displays. They have Easter egg displays and these are at the Contemporary Cafe, or I'm sorry, contemporary Resort, the Grand Floridian Resort. And there's some at the Beach Club Resort Lobby. And I tell you what, we were there and I could not find them, I'm not sure if we were a little early for them, but we did have our friends Shane and Charlie sent us some great pictures of the ones at the Contemporary Resort and those are gonna be on the fourth floor atrium. And then we personally, we all got to see on our recent trip the ones at the Grand Floridian and they're in the lobby and they have so many cool displays. Everything is made out of chocolate. They had a figment one with Spaceship Earth that I love. They had one with a ton of characters that was being hand painted during the day. They had a world showcase. Well the Epcot one had the world like things for each part of the world showcase. They had really elaborate encanto one, they had uh, some life size ones from the movie up, just really Orange Bird, every kind of character. There was a casting one that had Walt, there was one for the 50th at Contemporary. They had for, it's a small world, just so much detail. We went, what had happened is we were at the Magic Kingdom for the day. We had dinner at Ohana and we were going back to Magic Kingdom for late night hours. It's a super easy hop off on the monorail. We got off, went down, spent, I think we were probably there a half hour or more, don't you think? Christian?

Speaker 2: 16:04

Definitely just looking at everything. Yes.

Speaker 1: 16:05

Yeah. And it's nice too, like we had some family with us that weren't going into the parks, but it was a fun little thing for us to all go to together and check out. They are, I think this goes into what Chris talks about a lot is Disney adds little things for you to do that just I think up what you would have compared to any other place that you would

Speaker 2: 16:27

Go. And, and that's the whole point. And I was actually talking to some folks about our Disney experience and they just said, you know, what do you like about Disney? And I said, it's just the little things where you notice when you go to other parks or you know, even nice hotels, you notice the little things that aren't happening, the scuffs, the scrapes, the little things. Whereas with Disney, everything is on point and it's that are, they're able to pull the artistry, whether it be from animation all the way down to these really custom, wonderfully designed Easter eggs. And there's just so many opportunities to see the creativity of people.

Speaker 1: 17:02

And if you love chocolate it smells really good. And it's funny because there's warning signs that you are not supposed to eat the displays. Now don't be upset if you'd like to sample some things from, from the Easter egg displays, just like at Christmas time where they have the little gingerbread cottage that you can purchase some of the items for. They have what's called the Grand cottage and that's right in the Grand Floridian Resort or in the lobby. And they have a bunch of the handcrafted things that go into what some of the displays that they have. And they have really cute, they had cute Easter eggs. They had a bunch of cake pops, they had bunny things. They had um, carrot, blondie pop, they had a lemon blueberry whoopi pie. Just a wide variety of things that come from the pastry chefs there. And you can purchase them now. We were there so late in the evening, it was probably about 10:00 PM we, that was closed for the day. But it is open I think till about eight or nine. And you can get a chance to take some of that home with you, which is really nice. And again, that's the grand cottage and that will run all the way through Easter Sunday as well. So those are some things that you can get a chance to take some of that back with you. That is only at the Grand Floridian. You won't be able to have purchase anything at the contemporary cafe or Beach Club. They don't have anything there. So those are some that kind of rounds out everything at Disney in terms of what you can expect related to Easter. The last one that we episode we did, we talked about Flower and Garden festival and all of that's going on at the same time. So it's a great springtime celebration as well. So hopefully you get a chance to go to Disney sometime in March or April and experience some of these things. Check it out because a lot of these snacks are gonna be more than just Easter week. The Easter egg displays, we were there March 10th through 17th and they were already up. So depending on when you're going in, depending on when Easter falls, check it out and see if they're available for you to view. You will not be disappointed, that's for sure. So we look forward to, we're gonna get up our interview with Katie so you can hear about her business and all of the great products that she offers. We'd like to welcome Katie to the show. Her shop, Goldilocks Mama features all kinds of great hair accessories. She also does some of the beer canned glasses and we are really looking forward to talking to her today. She is a mom of three and she's a former hairstylist who stays home with her little ones. And she's also a dog mom. She enjoys sewing, which is of course what letter to open up her business. She loves Disney and her husband is also a Disney fan as well. So they plan a lot of trips to go to Disney and we are really looking forward to hearing about her shop and all she enjoys at the parks. First we'd like to hear, what is your favorite event at any Disney Park?

Speaker 3: 20:03

Yeah, actually there's so many good ones, but I think my favorite and one that we've gotten to go to a few times is the flower and garden in Epcot. But that's of course my husband's favorite park. Uh, who doesn't want to drink around the world,<laugh>. Uh, and they always have such good, you know, food and drink specials during that festival. And actually we were really sad cause we were just there and we didn't realize we missed it by like four days. So, uh, we were a little bummed about that. But hopefully next year<laugh>.

Speaker 1: 20:37

Oh that is a bummer. We're actually gonna be there next week. So, and that's my favorite park as well and we love that festival. The music and the food and all of that is always great.

Speaker 3: 20:47

Oh yes,

Speaker 1: 20:48

Now of course we wanna hear all about your business and what are the products you offer connected to Disney?

Speaker 3: 20:55

So I really started, um, I love any sort of hair accessories and headbands. Um, I started pretty young. My grandma would always give me her old scarves and stuff and I always use those as head wraps and uh, headbands and stuff. And when I stopped doing hair behind the chair, I kind of needed something, a creative outlet. And so I kind of picked back up sewing and then was like, Hey, you know what, why don't I just start making head mans because I love them and you know, hopefully that everyone else does too. Mm-hmm.<affirmative> and in case you didn't know, there's always a ton of fabric options out there. Um, and I love searching for cute ones that are, you know, Disney related and inspired and I feel like that just kind of helps you be able to bring your love of Disney into your daily life. Um, so I love it. And of course my three-year-old, she loves to model and wear everything that I make. So

Speaker 1: 21:58

<laugh>, we have a five-year-old, so we totally understand. Now you make headbands and do you also do like scrunchies and things as well?

Speaker 3: 22:04

Yes, I do. Scrunchies headbands. I've started adding some just simple baby bows, um, things like that, you know, whatever. Um, any sort of, yeah, scrunchy, headband, bow accessory.

Speaker 2: 22:20

And you had mentioned, you know, you had a previous career as a hairstylist. What led you to wanna do your new venture?

Speaker 3: 22:28

Well, I just, you know, um, my husband was military before and so we've moved around a bunch and it was just one of those things where rebuilding a hair clientele is, you know, got to be a little bit of a struggle, you know, when you're only there for a year or two. Sure. And so I, we kind of figured this is something I really enjoy and I can do while staying home with our kids most of the time, as long as they're not climbing all over me. Sure.<laugh>, um,<laugh> really. But uh, you know, kinda and still, you know, lets me be creative and still kind of have my hands in, you know, some hair stuff.

Speaker 1: 23:04

Now how long have you had your business?

Speaker 3: 23:07

I started it um, in, ooh, was it 20? I believe it was 20. 20. Okay. So right around, you know, pandemic stuff, you know, everyone's home trying to figure out what to do.

Speaker 1: 23:19

<laugh>. Yes, yes. We've talked to a lot of small shops that started at the same time. Now we always like to find out. How do you think your products can add some Disney magic to your customer's lives?

Speaker 3: 23:31

You know, like I said, you know, I'm always looking for, you know, fun Disney inspired fabric. Um, whether it's, you know, your favorite movie or character, I have some character ones and then I have some more, more like just little subtle things that, you know, if you don't want to wear, you know, all out, you know, toy story headbands. Right. It's kind of, you know, inspired by and I just feel like that, you know, I know that always brings me a little happiness. I'm like, I always say I like, I love, but I'm also like not usually decked out in my, you know, mini mouse headband and everything all the time<laugh>. But it does make me happy to, you know, have a little, a little something Disney related and inspired on.

Speaker 1: 24:14

Now you also do those beer canned glasses as well. Do you do Disney designs for those?

Speaker 3: 24:19

Yeah, I, that's something that I just started. Um, so I, you know, I spend a lot of time looking through and trying to figure out, I'm not the best artist and drawer<laugh>, so I usually have to find some, you know, files and stuff that I can use and something that kind of speaks to me. And I try to find ones that are, you know, little Disney related and mostly holiday stuff, um, is really kind of big and no like, you know, drinking coffee and you know, or whatever you're drinking out of those cups always just makes it better

Speaker 1: 24:55

<laugh> for sure. Yeah. It's always nice to have a fun cup or glass when you're drinking something at home. Now what is now, if I saw a headband or something I wanted for an upcoming trip or maybe I wanted to get a glass as a gift, how, what is your turnaround time? How soon should I order?

Speaker 3: 25:12

Um, so it really, I mean I think right now my turnaround time, I usually try to keep it about a week. Sometimes it's a little faster, sometimes I try not to go over that. Um, sometimes it, you know, happens, but I will always message you and you know, if you ever have a special request and need something faster, you can always message me on my Instagram or my Etsy. Um, I try to stay really, you know, focused and uh, you know, caught up on that and responding to people. Um, so probably about a week and, and you know, there's always, if I, there's something you don't see that I have and you're, you have an idea, like I'm always willing to work with people and kind of create something that you're looking for.

Speaker 1: 25:52

Now I always have to ask anybody who does headbands or Mickey ears or headbands, I have a really big head how well, how comfortable do your fit Chris' head?

Speaker 2: 26:03

And I can attested it, it is a large

Speaker 1: 26:05

Nog in there. So like for people who have different size or heads, how, how comfortable are your headbands, et cetera.

Speaker 3: 26:12

Yeah. So, um, so I have a few different styles of headbands and I always tell people, you know, you can kind of pick and choose what feels most comfortable. I know a lot of people think kind of the stretchier fabric, the ones that just go around your head maybe aren't necessarily the comf for you. I do, but I do try to use a lot of those. I use like a double brushed poly material, which is very soft and very stretchy. And so I found that those are comfortable and they, I have a pretty sensitive head and so they never give me a headache when I'm wearing them, which is nice. Yeah.<laugh> and then also my harder headbands, they're very, they're um, flexible and so you can kind of stretch'em out. Um, yeah, good. And they fit majority of everyone's head. Um, and so those I I've found I've tried a million different hard headbands trying to figure out what's the most comfortable and I've settled on these and they seem, it seems to, you know, no one really has any complaints about them. They seem to fit pretty well. Now you can also, I mean, sorry,<laugh>. No, no, that's, but you can also, so like the, you know, average head, you know, usually about like 21, you know, inches or whatever. If you need a little extra, a little bigger, that's something too. You can always shoot me a message and I can add a little length.

Speaker 1: 27:28

Now I know you also mentioned you do some accessories for little ones. Like do you have different sizes than smaller ones in the headbands as well?

Speaker 3: 27:37

Yes. So, um, I mostly have like a toddler size and the adult headbands actually seem to fit most kids six and up. So really I have like a baby size, a toddler size and then the adult size. But I also have, yeah, a few different options and maybe some that aren't quite listed on my Etsy shop yet. I have some bows that I can put on those nylon bands for, you know, baby babies and then just some skinnier smaller headbands for, you know, maybe like a toddler.

Speaker 1: 28:08

Now do you have a favorite design in your shop right now?

Speaker 3: 28:14

Uh, there's one that I'm working on actually that I'm hoping to add in the next week, actually. Two they're checkered, one is Disney and it's pink checkered with sun lull Mickey heads in it, which I actually wore when we were at the parks. Oh good. Which I thought was very cute.<laugh>, um, and very spring. And then I also have, it's a black checkered with some flowers on. It kind of reminds me of, you know, a little sixties vibe. Nice. So I'm loving both of those fabrics and hoping to get those added this week. So.

Speaker 2: 28:46

And with that, you know, you mentioned all the awesome things you do. Where can people go to find out what you have to offer?

Speaker 3: 28:52

Um, so I have my Etsy shop, which is Goldilocks mama. Um, and then I also, I've been trying to be better, you know, Instagram and social media is always a quite a feat, um, trying to get back into that. And so I really try to keep my Instagram updated and um, showing what I have in the shop and you know, any sort of sales or anything like that. Um, and that's Goldilocks and I think there's a period Mama.

Speaker 1: 29:18

Perfect. And we'll make sure to share those links in our show notes so people can find your shop and your profile. So thank you so much Katie for joining us today. Yeah,

Speaker 3: 29:28

Thank you guys so much.

Speaker 2: 29:30

Thank you again to Katie for joining us today.

Speaker 1: 29:33

Vanessa. So many things Disney are a result of tradition. People go every year. There's so many, you know, again, we just celebrated the 50th anniversary. I'm gonna ask you some questions about the Easter eggs at the Grand Floridian.

Speaker 1: 29:52

Okay, great.

Speaker 2: 29:53

Approximately cuz I found a couple of different answers on this<laugh>. Okay. How many years have the Easter eggs been a presentation within the Grand Floridian?

Speaker 1: 30:06

I'm gonna go with 20,

Speaker 2: 30:09

The plus or minus was five and you are correct. So they have been a presentation for over 25 years.

Speaker 1: 30:15

Wow. I was thinking probably early two thousands.

Speaker 2: 30:19

Yes. And you know, they incorporate again the, the older eggs that were created in the past are brought forward and in the course there's new ones with new Disney properties. But yes, 25 years of Easter eggs at the Grand Floridian. Wow.

Speaker 1: 30:33

I'd be curious how many years they've been doing the gingerbread houses, cuz I'm sure the gingerbread was before the Easter eggs, that that's something for you to file away for Christmas time.

Speaker 2: 30:43

I will do that

Speaker 1: 30:45

<laugh>. Now I'm gonna end with this quote from Walt Disney. I think this is kind of a nice one. I know so many people are at turning points in their careers or different things and gives you a perspective of really prioritizing what's important to you. Most of my life I have done what I wanted to do. I have had fun on the job. I have never been able to confine that fun to office hours. So hopefully you're able to enjoy something that you do for your career or in your life as well. So thank you so much for joining us on this episode of the Disney Love Podcast with Vanessa and Chris.
