Tyler

Welcome to the Disneyville Podcast, episode 55.

Jessica

Where we talk about the Disney magic. No, Disney, I you got you caught me off guard. I didn't even know you were starting. I can't get my tagline. And then I started. My eyes were like half open. Uh anyway, well, you know what we talk about here. Yeah.

Tyler

What are we talking about today?

Jessica

Boy, oh boy, are we excited for today's episode? We are going to be talking about everything new that is coming in 2026 to Disney World. And a little splash of Disneyland, just because some of them it's happening at both. But generally, right, we're focusing on Disney World today. Some of which we're hoping to see later this year.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

I'm so excited.

Tyler

Okay. So I know we mentioned it, I think, in the last one. We had a trip booked. We ended up canceling it because of Jessica's foot, which I think was the right answer anyway. Yeah.

Jessica

But because we talked about, oh, maybe we did talk about this. We talked about how we could have absolutely could have done it and done like a scooter or done. That's right. So maybe we already touched it.

Tyler

We did end up moving it. Yeah. Um officially. I think I don't know if we had officially moved it then. But we uh oh, what was I gonna say? I already lost my train of thought. We are going. That's gonna be fun. Oh, I had something I was saying.

Jessica

Later this year. I don't know, but there's a lot of stuff. I know what I was gonna say.

Tyler

I sorry, I remembered. I'm glad that we didn't because actually one of my favorite uh Disney bloggers put out an article that was like the wait times are absolutely insane the week that we were gonna go.

Jessica

So it actually kind of was gonna be the week between Christmas, like over New Year, which we know it's a busy time, but like apparently it was like even worse than even worse than normal one.

Tyler

But again, we're we're at the mercy of school schedules now, so it's we gotta.

Jessica

A lot of you guys can certainly relate. What else? We had a couple of announcements, a couple big announcements. Yeah, so this is big changes happening at happening at Disneyville HQ.

Tyler

This looks if if you're watching the video version, it looks different this time because I kind of messed with a few things. I think it looks a little better, but it doesn't really matter because everything's about to change again anyway. So we are going to take the next episode off because we are going to completely redesign the podcast room. We've kind of talked about doing it for a long time, but we officially pretty sure we know what we want to do, and I think it's gonna look great. Yeah, well, and then we had Vlogmas and everything else going on, so it kind of got pushed, but then we finally sat down and we're like, okay, what do we want to do in this room?

Jessica

Because it just it's never looked at the way we're yeah, we're looking down at the monitor, and I'm already thinking about the design we we have in mind, and I'm trying to think like, will that work? I think it will. We're gonna involve some paint.

Tyler

There's gonna be different color, like upgrade the lighting, we're gonna upgrade a few other things. Yeah.

Jessica

So it's we're basically digging our digging our feet in the sand, digging our heels in. Because we're like, all right, we've been doing this a few years. We really want to keep doing it. Let's let's invest a little bit more. Yeah, it's gonna be really cool.

Tyler

So I think it's gonna be very, very nice to have this, to have this done. We might even, well, we'll talk more about it later, but my question for you all is I'm taking a week off of doing the podcast. Would you actually be interested in watching like a vlog on this channel of me redoing the podcast room in place of that? Or should we just get it done and then come back on the podcast? If anybody would actually find that interesting, the little redesign we're doing here.

Jessica

Oh I know. I'm trying to think if like if my favorite podcast did that, would I want to watch it or not? I think I would. It would depend on the pieces.

Tyler

I mean, I guess the reality is if if I don't end up doing that, I could just film bits and pieces of it and then maybe on our Disneyville Instagram. Just do like a little reel or something like that.

Jessica

Yeah. Well, we'll feel it out. I think we're just gonna kind of see how everything goes. Um, and either way, we probably will, like you said, take the next episode off to try to get all this done because otherwise we'd be filming in like an interim. Yeah.

Tyler

Who knows?

Jessica

Maybe we'll maybe we'll end up cranking one out. I don't know. Yeah.

Tyler

Well, it's not just a matter of painting, like I said, we're also doing lighting, maybe some audio upgrades. We're doing all kinds of stuff.

Jessica

So it's different furniture, yeah.

Tyler

Yeah. So it's gonna be really, really nice. I'm really excited about what we've come up with for the design. And uh all we had to do, we just had to sit down and do it. We just that's it.

Jessica

So we finally did it.

Tyler

We had what we had in mind, we had laid all out and all that kind of stuff, and then I'm we kind of swerved, and I'm glad we swerved because I think I like the new one.

Jessica

I think I do too. That's kind of what I was thinking when it was. All right, enough about that. Half of you guys like only listen, and you're like, I don't care what it looks like.

Tyler

Your ears have glazed over. Okay.

Jessica

Okay, okay.

Tyler

Let's talk about everything coming to Walt Disney World in 2026. So the way that I think we're gonna do this is I have this little thing here that was on the Disney Parks blog, and it goes through each and every like season and everything coming out in that time frame. So I think we're kind of gonna just go through that and then we'll just kind of weave in and out as we need to use this as our guide.

Jessica

Yeah, which is good to have this organization too, because um, if you're planning a trip, I think it's nice to be like, okay, these things we're talking about in the spring will already be there. So the by if you're in the fall, you're kind of able to listen and see like, okay, all of these things in theory should be open by the time we go in the fall or whatever. So I think it's helpful to go chronologically.

Tyler

But also it's gonna be interesting because like as we go through, like there's so much that's as I was going through this, I'm like, gosh, so much open in the last couple of years, but there's also so much coming up between 2027 and 2030 that I'm like, there's still to talk about we're living in a uh golden era of New Disney.

Jessica

Well, that's true, but you golden era is gonna be 2031. You gotta go through the growing pains of the construction. I've heard a lot of like discourse online of people complaining about the construction, and what do you do? You know, like they have to, if we want new things, they gotta do construction and they can't magically do it overnight. Although sometimes they do magically do things overnight.

Tyler

But I don't know if it's that good.

Jessica

Yeah. So anyway.

Tyler

So here's something interesting that I I learned that I don't know if anybody's gonna find this interesting, but I'm gonna bring it up anyway. So on the so Disney travel agents have their own blog essentially where they release information to Disney travel agents. But I would say half the time, maybe more, it's a carbon copy of what they have on the Disney Parks blog. So they just use the same stuff back and forth. You know what I mean? Sure, sure. Because I'm like, they're writing something that you're using with pictures and using, you know, and then they just kind of post it in both places. But one thing I realized today, and I don't know that I've ever realized this before because I was comparing the two versions on Disney travel agents, on that news source, they say we and on the Disney Parks blog, it says I'm like I'm excited about this coming, and then like on the Disney travel agents, it says we're excited about this coming. And I'm like, they literally use the same So that's very interesting.

Jessica

So you're saying on Disney Parks blog, it's as if the one person wrote it and they're saying I'm excited that this new snack is arriving, whatever. Exactly. But then they're saying yeah.

Tyler

On the Disney travel agents when it's like we as a company are excited about this.

Jessica

What meeting was held where someone was like, you know, isn't that fascinating?

Tyler

It's such an interesting choice.

Jessica

Okay. So that's all. Yeah, I was interested in that.

Tyler

Okay, so new details about what's coming to Walt Disney World in 2026. So the countdown is on to the new year, and we can't Oh, you're actually reading it. I figured. I mean, what else are you?

Jessica

I mean I figure we'd just gloss and glaze.

Tyler

I'll read and then discuss, like we do in in.

Jessica

We can link um the Disney Parks blog, yeah, if you guys want to see it.

Tyler

Um because I figured that's what we'll just read what they wrote and then we'll discuss.

Jessica

Is that illegal? I don't know.

Tyler

I don't think so. I don't I'm kidding. I think they're putting it out for all of us to know. Um if I can't.

Jessica

It's called a fair use, fair use disclaimer. Okay, go ahead.

Tyler

Okay. Um, so 2026 is going to be a year full of great deals. Did someone say Disney World free dining plan for kids?

Jessica

Let's stop there. Okay. Uh that's what we'll do. We'll just do a little buzzer. Uh so we told you guys we moved our trip. We're this is just gonna be a hangout chat with Jesse and Tyler. Okay, because I feel like talking about Disney big time. So we were super disappointed, of course, to cancel slash postpone our trip, but we postponed it. Very excited to go, hopefully in the spring, assuming, you know, now I feel like I can't assume anything. So assuming we are thinking about adding on the dining plan. We don't always do it, it just kind of depends. A lot of times with young kids, it's like, is it worth it? What they eat? I don't know.

Tyler

We used to do it way more often when it was just a two hour. Yeah. Yeah. It was awesome. I loved it.

Jessica

And it still is awesome. So we always go back and forth. We don't do it every single time, but we do when we do it, we love it. I mean, so we're thinking about doing it because with the kids eating free, then I'm like, well, then if they're not eating all of it, I'm not so stressed, like, oh my gosh, we paid for this. And that's probably what Disney realized is maybe more people would do it. And if they get enough people in the door to try the dining plan, then they'll do the next year.

Tyler

Like, I loved that.

Jessica

So they know they'll get you again.

Tyler

Yeah. It's interesting to see what carries over from year to year. Like things that go well, they'll carry over.

Jessica

Yeah.

Tyler

Like they've they're continuing on with the early morning hours and the evening hours, like that's continuing on, and they're doing the Can they just call them extra magic hours again, though?

Jessica

Why'd they gotta change the name?

Tyler

Because they're slightly different rules, so we have to have a whole new name. Also, the extra magic hours were like one park each day, and everyone on property gets it. Now early morning hours.

Jessica

Deluxe, right?

Tyler

No, early morning hours is all Disney World resort guests, and then the evening hours are just for deluxe.

Jessica

Wow.

Tyler

Yes. Anyway, um, but then like this the the Typhoon Lagoon uh Blizzard Beach thing. The H2.

Jessica

Oh, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. The free free day.

Tyler

The free day on your arrival day. They're bringing that back. They're doing it in a slightly modified version this year. But like it's just interesting to see like if things go well, they will continue on.

Jessica

Um, so anyways, what do we want to go well that they'll continue? You know what I mean? Like, what new things? I've really been enjoying the cool kids summer that they do. Bringing that back. Yeah, we're gonna be talking about that. That was new to us last year. It might have been just new to us. I think it was new last year. And it was awesome. Anyway, we'll get there.

Tyler

Okay. So the kids free dining.

Jessica

Yeah.

Tyler

It's a really good deal. And here's the best part about it. Usually you get one special offer, but this can actually be stacked with a lot of other special offers. So just huge.

Jessica

If you use a Disney travel agency, like People Mover Travel, yeah, they can walk you through everything. They can help you get that best offer and the free dining plan and all of it.

Tyler

Well, and like I always joke, like they all know way more about this stuff than I do. Like, because they stay so on top of it. All of my agents. Oh, yeah. Like, I usually go to them and be like, hey guys, what's going on over there? What's going on in Disney? And they know more than I do. So if you need an expert who works for you for free, people move a travel.

Jessica

There you go.

Tyler

Okay. So uh also 10 new and reinvigorated attractions and experiences. Nine returning festivals and special events giving guests more than 200 days of super califragilistic. No, super califragilistic extractrus. Extra lidocius. Oh my gosh, I can't say it.

Jessica

Super califragilistic. Extra lidocious. Nice try. Swinging a mist. I'm kidding.

Tyler

Um, and lots of ways to create memories for the whole family. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay. So early 2026. Here's what's going to make. So starting.

Jessica

So this is like we're in it. You know what I mean?

Tyler

Let's do it. Anna, Elsa, and Christoph Animatronic figures at Epcot will receive new updates taking inspiration from the advancements scene from figures at the world of Frozen and Hong Kong Disneyland. They can start, guests can start seeing these in February of 2020.

Jessica

That is so soon. That is so soon. Okay, you all know when you've ridden Frozen Ever After and you're like, what? She needs to blend that foundation, Elsa. Like the face, the like, what is it, like a projection face worked, but it wasn't great. And then when we all saw videos of it in Hong Kong, I'm like, whoa, that is so much better. But I will just like a real animatronic face.

Tyler

Keeping in mind that when that first opened, I thought that was the coolest thing. Because it was already such, it was so much better. I think they maybe had already done it at Seven Dwarfs Mind Train, but it still looks so much better. I was like, it still was a cool effect. But now there's even better things.

Jessica

But here's the best part sometimes, like my biggest complaint with like Universal, and I we really enjoy Universal, okay. But it's a lot of projection rides, and then in Disney, it's a lot of projection everything, like projection mapping for the nighttime shows and whatever. And then it is what it is, it can be very, very cool. But sometimes you just want a real thing in front of you, like yeah, having the real animatronic with a real face, you know what I mean by real, you know, that you could actually touch versus like a projection. I'm like, I like that. So I kind of like that that's what everyone's wanting. We want the real thing, not the projection. I just think that's kind of cool. No, I get it. And Disney listened.

Tyler

Yeah, give me a physical button. Have we talked about that before? Anyway, um don't get us started. Don't get me started. And what oh, I know what I was gonna say. Speaking of uh Universal, lest we forget that Epic Universe opened recently. We still have not been.

Jessica

We have not been.

Tyler

I think we need to make that a priority. But if I mean you were talking about new things in Orlando, you gotta throw that in there. Just throw that out there. Um, okay. While guests are at Epcot early in the new year and belting out songs, they can stop by the 2026 Epcot International Festival of the Arts from January 16th through February 23rd for artisanal dishes, beautiful artwork, and sing your heart out Broadway show tunes from Disney on Broadway shows and stars.

Jessica

I love that. That's one of my favorite things Epcot does is any of the series where they have like the Candlelight Processional does this, where they have celebrity guests and you've already paid to get into the park. The fact that it's free to be able to see that is actually really cool.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

And I swear if they take that away and make but I'm like, how could they charge for that? Because it's outdoors. But I just love that. You don't even have to be sitting. Like we enjoyed Boys to Men that one time. We were way back eating like to-go food from Sam Eagle, Regal Beagle, Legal Deagle. You know what I mean. So I just saw so much because Ashley Brown. Ashley Brown from uh Mary Poppins.

Tyler

She just did something here in Indianapolis that a bunch of our friends were were doing. Yeah. And uh, she was Mary Poppins on Broadway, like you said. And then Josh Strickland, I think was his name, who was Tarzan on Broadway. He was there. So that was cool, yeah. It's a cool thing. I mean, that's just a fun little concert. I don't think they last a super long time either.

Jessica

No, I think because if I remember right, I was looking into one of them. I feel like they do many shows a day. So it's yeah, they're short.

Tyler

Okay. What's the best way to end a Walt Disney World Resort day with Disney after hours? Of course, the favorite after park close, separately ticketed event is back in 2026. Whether you guess want to go on an adventure at Hollywood Studios, explore the World of Epcot, or be it Magic Kingdom, there'll be fun, magic, and included snacks and beverages waiting. This is something we still have not done.

Jessica

Yeah. And it's probably, I mean, for us, just with the kids, they're so zonked by then. But the morning, we should be able to pull that off.

Tyler

Right. No, this is the separately ticketed event. This is the one that I did not listen.

Jessica

I realized that's okay.

Tyler

I talk a lot.

Jessica

Disney after hours. Oh, it's the okay, the paid one.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

Yeah. Yeah, we've never done it.

Tyler

It's pretty expensive.

Jessica

I give the same reasoning though, too.

Tyler

You know, like I will say that what I've heard from people that we know that have gone have loved it because apparently it really is like walk-on.

Jessica

So it probably, it probably feels like the three-hour extra magic hours we used to get. That is probably the member when we'd be running between all three mountains, but I think it's even more so because it's because it is this hard-ticketed thing.

Tyler

Yeah. I think from what I've heard, so it is expensive, but from what I've heard, the people that have done it have really liked it. We just haven't done it ourselves.

Jessica

Yeah. Well, speaking of ticketed events, one that I would love to try is the H2O nights or whatever at the water parks, or just one of them? H2O Glow. H2O Glow. They look so cool. The girls would absolutely love it. Again, much shorter lines. There's like live music and DJs, and you're, I think they give you like glow sticks and stuff. It just looks really fun. And what a unique thing to do at a water park at dark. Like it's just, I think that would just be such a core memory. So that I I heard that it's coming back this year. I don't know if they have hard dates out yet, but I think if if it's going on when we go, I think we consider.

Tyler

Yeah. Well, and now our kids like the water a lot more. Now that we're at that era.

Jessica

Yeah, we're just at Edmore. Yeah.

Tyler

Also, something that, although it might begin spring now that I'm thinking about it, but I don't think they listed it in in this, is that they're repainting Cinderella Castle yet again.

Jessica

So yeah, it's starting like, yeah, now it's like five or six months, right?

Tyler

They said. So I think by this summer, maybe spring, summer, it should be.

Jessica

I heard probably most likely summer. I guess we'll see.

Tyler

Yeah. So that's something that is coming up here soon.

Jessica

Like that'll be finished. Yeah.

Tyler

I liked the new one. It took a while to grow on me, but I think I'm excited. It sounds like they're gonna kind of combine the best elements of both. So we're gonna get the classic Cinderella castle.

Jessica

More grays, blues.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

I will say I am maybe the only person I know that I was like, oh what? Like I love the way it looks right now. It is so beautiful. It's like pulling the pink from like the original Sleeping Beauty castle with the blue, the gold. Like it is so striking. And when I would see old photos of us in front of the castle, albeit with cameras that probably weren't as high quality as like the ones on our phones now. So maybe that's part of it. But man, like the one now is so photogenic. So I have a feeling it's Disney. They're gonna do it right. I heard that there's gonna be like maybe a little more gold pulled into it, like to really like just kind of make the features pop, still, but it's way more like what it used to be. So that part I can get behind. I'll be curious.

Tyler

That's why I think they're gonna kind of pull the new things that did work well, the gold, the those things that sort of enhance the look of it overall and kind of mix the two.

Jessica

I mean, they're certainly gonna make it look nice. They they always do, but ex unless it was the birthday cake one, I guess. Yeah.

Tyler

Seems like such an awful lot of work to have done that for only a couple of years.

Jessica

That's kind of what I I didn't even realize it was temporary when it was done until like now. I don't maybe that's it. They were like, and I this is what I'm convinced of. We're gonna talk about Soren. And when we get there, my keyword is um testing the waters. Okay.

Tyler

Okay. All right. Okay, so moving on to spring. So speaking of fresh air, oh, well, you skipped apart, that's why. So they were speaking of fresh air a moment ago. Uh, fresh mountain air will be calling our names. And Big Thunder Mountain Railroad reopens this spring at Magic Kingdom with touches of new magic and a crevasse deep to mountaintop refurbishment. Uh, guests might remember that we shared details about this beautiful yet menacing rainbow caverns deep in the heart of this mysterious mountain. We might find more trouble than gold in that wilderness. Oh, yeah. Sounds like a party.

Jessica

Um it's the wildest wrap. Wait, wildest west wilderness. I cannot wait to ride this again. It's been a hundred thousand years.

Tyler

So long.

Jessica

I think it's only been closed for like a year, year and a half, but it we hadn't ridden it, I guess. And that was our mistake.

Tyler

I know.

Jessica

Gigi is gonna be so excited to ride this. Also, I did a little digging about rainbow caverns because I knew of them and I knew it was an old Disneyland thing. Rainbow Cavs. And I also think of yeah, the new Mickey Mouse short about it. So it was a ride, I'm sure many of you guys know, in Disneyland for only a few years. It was like mid-50s or like after it opened, late 50s for like three years, then it closed, and then it reopened as like a train ride through nature's wonderland, something like that, through like let's say the 70s or 80s. So you can still see, and I think we talked about this in our Disneyland vlogs, parts of that ride. You can see where it was like cut off where they stopped. Yeah. So we found, do you remember that? No, it was like around, I mean, it was near the waterway. I don't know how to describe it, I don't know Disneyland well enough to describe where it is, but anyway, some of you guys probably know, but yeah, it's a little like area that's left from Rainbow Cavern slash. So the fact that they are bringing back and doing a rainbow cavern scene is just so cool. I again, I love when Disney leans into the nostalgia, and everyone that goes to Disney repeatedly has done these deep dives and is like into it. So I just love that they're doing it.

Tyler

There's just always so much to learn. It's so cool. But the in Walt's Disneyland, a walk around the park with Walt Disney, they have some pictures.

Jessica

No, I love that you knew the exact. Title that is by Marcy Caracurse Mothers.

Tyler

They uh they talked about, or there were some pictures of the of that in there. I'm pretty sure they talked about it.

Jessica

I gotta I just I can just sit, give me one day, and I'll sit with all those books around me with coffee and pizza and just read all the books. Sorry, I got pizza.

Tyler

I got pizza on the brain. All right. Do you want to read the next one? I've been reading. Sure. Here I'm just taking over.

Jessica

Oh, but by the way, the big big thunder, I heard it's like new vehicles, maybe some newish track. I mean, it's gonna be like the same. Um, but then yeah, some new scenes, including the Rainbow Cavern. So there's some new other stuff too. So I'm just very curious to see it. It probably did need a little reno.

Tyler

It did, you know? But that's such a huge ride to have that shut down. I mean, it's it takes up a lot of people, and all those people have got to go somewhere.

Jessica

So I mean that's uh but when you get to ride it, we're gonna be able to be above, we'll be able to see all the work they're doing on the new Carsland area. And the villains, maybe the villains, depending on how far they've gotten. But like I know they're they are working on the cars thing. You can hear and see like videos I've seen. So I'm like, that'll be cool to be able to see that. Okay.

Tyler

That's what I'm saying. There, we're in this era right now where there's so much cool stuff coming out and has come out over the last year or two, but also there's so much more coming out. Like, it's crazy.

Jessica

Big things.

Tyler

These are all answers, I think, to Epic Universe.

Jessica

Great. You know, that's why it's good to not have a monopoly because then they have to compete.

Tyler

What was that?

Jessica

And they each keep getting better and better. There was an old if only they could just all compete, getting their prices lower.

Tyler

There was an old bank commercial, I'm pretty sure, that was like when banks compete, you win. And I always feel like that with the theme parks. When theme parks compete, you win.

Jessica

It's true, Lafu. And I've got my sights set on that one. The inventor's daughter? That was very good.

Tyler

We can do the whole scene. The lucky girl I'm going to marry. But but she's the most no but she's the most beautiful girl in town. Yeah, but she's that makes her the best. And don't I deserve the best?

Jessica

Right from the moment. Okay. You want to sing it so badly. No, we're not gonna It'll be two on the nose that we'll get a copyright strike, of course.

Tyler

It'll sound too much like it.

Jessica

Um you do sound just like it when you do it. Okay.

Tyler

Across but I'm not all scuffed up.

Jessica

Try air everywhere. Okay. Across Magic Kingdom and Tomorrowland, we're ready to take on Evil Emperor Zerg with the help of updated ride vehicles, cool new handheld blasters, and interactive targets at Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin. Okay, listen to me. Listen to me. I think this was at like D23 or something. So I saw some video too of people using the new ones and the interactive target. Gonna be a game changer.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

Because that's it. Like everyone loves Toy Story. It is still, they're still making new movies. Like it is beloved by children and adults. That ride has needed some love. So I'm thrilled. And the reality is the actual ride itself is very cool. Yeah. So I'm excited about these little updates. It's maybe it was big for them, the like different laser-y technology technology. But again, in 2026, everyone expects more than what that whatever that was. I know.

Tyler

And I will say I'm I'm 100% behind them doing this. I think this is great, but I will say that I'm gonna miss the 90s nostalgia of using like a laser pointer.

Jessica

It still is, though. It's still a laser. You'll see.

Tyler

You can still see the laser. Okay, yeah, but either way.

Jessica

And then it kind of like explodes on the things you actually know if you hit it. Because that's the thing, you never knew.

Tyler

Like I was in a McDonald's toy, like oh yes. Like that, that's kind of what anyway. I do, I I always liked it just because I was like, it kind of was a throwback. It felt like the from the time of the movies.

Jessica

I would just ride it for the ride. I don't even need to play the game.

Tyler

That said, I cannot wait. This is gonna be so much better.

Jessica

And it's gonna compete. Well, I guess they're not in the same park, but it's nice to have these kinds of rides, they are so fun to me. Toy Story Midway Mania is easily top five. Like I love that. It's fun. You get to make a memory with your kids, other than just riding ride, you're doing something.

Tyler

Yeah, love it. Whoever wins, you could bring one to every park, okay? Yeah. I bet they will. I bet there'll be more, more interactive things. All right, moving on to summer 2026. Did you this is this made me laugh? Did you know that summer is the best time to visit Walt Disney World? Who wrote that?

Jessica

Too hot. Wrong. Everyone's there. Chat GPT will also be there.

Tyler

That was sorry, wrong. Uh well, it's always a good time to visit Walt Disney World, but summer is perfect for zit visiting the parks while the kids are out of school. Okay. Well, you do you whatever you need to tell yourself. So get ready to dance at Goofy Core in Epcot. So let's just pause. They should have done more with this. Oh, the like a big Marriott ballroom. You're talking about the the new like communique hall that's like.

Jessica

I think they just I mean, think about all that they did. I think what think about when things were going on.

Tyler

Yeah, they had 10 years to do it. They have no excuse.

Jessica

Oh, it was 10 years.

Tyler

Anyway, we'll see what they do with this.

Jessica

I wonder what the future will hold. I'm I'm I'm holding out hope for that. I think so. I'm giving them grace.

Tyler

Yeah, we'll see what we'll see.

Jessica

Because we do have some really cool stuff coming. So I'm like, eh.

Tyler

And the reality is they can shape that room to whatever they want it to be. But I guess all I can say is we've only been in it once.

Jessica

It was for I think this goofy. It was for this goofy dance part.

Tyler

But it was just like a big old open room. And then they had like on one half of it, like Dancy or Dancy was goofing. Goofy was dancing in the middle. And then we were like, hey.

Jessica

But the kids loved it. And that's the reality. And you know, we always say one of the reasons we love Disneyland is it feels like there are just characters out and about that I feel like is the adding to that environment of like you can just do that. Oh, no, I'm not talking about the goofy show.

Tyler

The goofy show is cool. I'm talking about the room.

Jessica

Yeah, it definitely is an odd, odd odd vibe. But also in the weirdest way, it's kind of like Epcot. Think about like the weird open spaces that Epcot was, like the you know what I mean? Like it's kind of the same.

Tyler

On the other side, I'm pretty sure they had like folding tables up, like it was a like a like a wedding reception in a high school gym. Like, I don't know what was going on.

Jessica

Anyway, how big did you think this was? I didn't think it was that big.

Tyler

I'm pretty sure it was pretty big. Like, remember they had like kids in the middle. Very long.

Jessica

Yeah, well, anyway. Okay. Cool kids summer, though. This is what they're talking about. Yeah. So play games with favorite characters while out and about in the parks, enjoy new and refreshed attractions. Um, this cool kids summer, when even more family fun comes back to Disney World. Um, plus new family-friendly offers and deals for summer vacations are coming. Check back in January.

Tyler

So, yeah, those are already out, actually. And there's some pretty good deals. Like they are, I this is the best deals that I've seen in a couple years. There was there was a while where there were deals, but they were not this good. This is these are some pretty good deals. So um just to quickly go over it. So there's two, get two free nights um and uh two free theme park. I'm sorry, two free nights and theme park days when added to a room and ticket package. So uh, for instance, if you have like four-day tickets, you can get up to six-day tickets, but it's you have to have between four and eight-day tickets, I'm pretty sure. Uh talk to your travel agent, they can give you more details. But then um anyway, so that's that's sort of the package, but they also have a a percentage off of rooms special offer to up to 30% off of the rooms, which is huge.

Jessica

That's pretty good. We were just doing some numbers for ourselves and uh thinking about maybe like fall, whatever, just trying to get an idea and having the difference like when we were looking in the spring and having the 25 or 30% off. Like, oh my gosh.

Tyler

It's huge. Yeah. So, yeah, this is what they say for a limited time, purchase four to eight-day Disney theme park tickets and receive two additional theme park days for free. For example, purchase a four-day uh ticket and receive six total days of theme park admission, um, valid from May 26th through September 15th of 2026, must be purchased by February 15th. So if you're looking to book, you've got to get get to get your trip on the books here pretty soon. So gosh, that's that's a pretty that's pretty awesome.

Jessica

But yeah, Cool Kids Summer. One of the other things I wanted to say about it is just that, you know, they're talking about Epcot and stuff, but their last summer, the coolest thing was in the animation courtyard area, which we're gonna talk about here in a bit, they had like jump rope, a jump rope show that the kids could jump rope with, and they both of our girls can bring up too. It was so fun.

Tyler

I love stuff like that. It just makes the parks feel so alive. It feels so just an extra thing. We weren't going in that day. It was not on our plan, our itinerary, yeah, to do a jump to watch and slash participate in a jump rope show that ended up being like the most memorable thing.

Jessica

I remember every part of that, yeah.

Tyler

That's uh I just love stuff like that.

Jessica

So I feel like this cool kids summer that they're calling it, first of all, it's not just for kids, okay? Um, but all of these little things, it's basically infusing a bunch of like streetmosphere and games and dance and stuff where you can just stumble upon it and it's so much fun and it really does add something to your vacation. So I love it. I think it's just such a cool thing. And by the way, they will have in each park a pamphlet for each one with all of the cool kids' summer offerings in that park.

Tyler

Yes.

Jessica

So that's all.

Tyler

Okay, so this is what we were talking about as far as the arrival day water park thing. It says guests can start with a splash this summer when they check into one of the Disney resort collection hotels, whether they dream of being surrounded by a tropical paradise or a watery, winty, wintry Wonderland families can enjoy a Disney water park, uh free Disney water park admission on their arrival day. So last year they had it for the entire year. Sounds like this year they're only doing that during the summer months. So I don't think they've released specific dates as far as I know yet.

Jessica

Yeah, I don't think so.

Tyler

But that's something that to keep in mind, depending on when you're going, you might be able to do the water park on your arrival day.

Jessica

Which was very fun when we did it. And we were only there like a few hours, but it was enough. Like it was so much fun. And then we're like, all right, and then we go back to the hotel and we're starting our vacation. Yeah. I mean, we started it there, but you know what I mean. It was uh that's such a great idea. So again, they talked about the return of Disney H2O Glow after hours. It's a separately ticketed event. Guests can splash the night away with a DJ dance party, meet up with fun Disney pals, enjoy your favorite watery attractions, again with like lower lines, much lower, and indulge in complimentary ice cream novelties, popcorn, and select beverages all after the sun goes down and the water park closes. I didn't realize you get a little bit of some snacks too. That's cool.

Tyler

Banana ball! Ring ring ring ring ring ring ring banana ball. If you need a course of take me out to the ball game, this next one is for you. Uh for the first time ever, banana balls headed to the ESPN Wide World of Sports, Walt Disney World, uh, May 29th and 30th. That's awesome. It's only that's a short time.

Jessica

Yeah, so I mean, you'd be seeing the games, right?

Tyler

Yeah, I guess so. But I figured that's surprising they put it on this list if it's only going to be like a two-day thing. But anyway, that's cool. So I know our our uh our nephew uh and his fiance, actually, they just got engaged, are super into banana ball. They both played, I think, baseball and softball and all that kind of stuff. And uh oops.

Jessica

Well, I mean, it is just becoming such a thing. Huge thing. I've heard they're gonna be able to do that. When they the the ones that come to where we live is the Savannah bananas or whatever. Um, and the tickets sell out every time. Like we can't even get our hands on tickets. So it is very popular. So I bet a lot of people are very excited about that. Okay. Are you guys still there? We actually have the most exciting thing still to talk about. Okay, not yet, but here momentarily. So I hope you guys are still listening.

Tyler

I think I might be most excited about this next thing here.

Jessica

Okay.

Tyler

Beginning in summer 2026 at Walt Disney World, you can take part in an excursion to Conservation Station and Animal Kingdom theme park, where you can play and dance with Blueie and Bingo. I cannot wait. So they have like games and stuff. You can do it. It sounds like you're doing like a dance party, and you can do they're playing keepy uppie, they said.

Jessica

Oh my gosh, come on.

Tyler

Um, play uh play favorite games with Bluey, uh like a with a fun animal twist.

Jessica

With a magical magic xylophone butterfly keepeyuppie.

Tyler

Oh, I cannot wait. And then they're bringing animals native to Australia to the conservation station as well. I might be most excited about that.

Jessica

I that's pretty amazing. You know what? That is going to increase theme park attendance at Animal Kingdom, without a doubt. Bluey is so big. We love Bluey in our household. It is so funny, it is so cute.

Tyler

So my friend Tony is the one who before I think when Genevieve was first born, was like, you gotta watch Bluey. It's so good. And I remember I'm talking about he's like, it's almost like like they play like improv games, and it's so like I can see that, yeah. But anyway, so when Genevieve was born, that's when I started watching it, and I'm like, it just so quickly became my favorite kid show. And every time Genevieve, like if I mention another show, I'm like, geez, Genevieve will be like, I thought Bluey was your favorite show. And I'm like, you're right. I think Bluey's my favorite show.

Jessica

Then Full House, and then uh anyway.

Tyler

So I am quite excited about that.

Jessica

And also the line for the train to get to conservation, because that's the only way you can get there, is the wildlife express train. It's gonna be the long that train's gonna be like, oh my goodness. Ma, all these people. So that that's gonna be awesome. I'm so excited about that. So this is what I am jazzed about. Okay, this is kind of all encompassing. This is huge. So, and we had heard the announcement, but I don't think I really, until we started diving into it, realized how much was coming. And this is the thing that gets my heart pitter-pattering. So, in the old animation courtyard at Hollywood Studios, which is where right now the Star Wars launch bay is, that area. Well, obviously with Star Wars Land, they've they haven't really needed the launch bay. It's kind of they've used it for like meet and greets and little things, but it's not necessary.

Tyler

Also, nowhere near any of the other stuff. So it doesn't really make sense.

Jessica

Yeah, so it doesn't really make sense, but it was a use of the space. Well, remember how we all were like, oh, why don't they just put the Monsters Inkland there? Like that makes way more sense. Why take away Muppets? Well, because they had other ideas for the animation courtyard, and I'm very excited about these ideas, so I'm now okay with it. So not only will they have like a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse live show in that like arena they already use for Disney Jr. Live, like all those. It is, it's Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live. And I think they said you might have seen it at Disneyland. It's coming to Disney World. So that'll be awesome. Always exciting. The kids always love whatever show is in there. But later in the summer, the magic of Disney animation will open and invite us all inside the world of Walt Disney Animation Studios and its beloved playful creations. Just like in the award-winning short Once Upon a Studio, animated characters come to life. Characters will leap from their portraits, draw with us, and invite us into a drawn to Wonderland playground inspired by Disney Legend Mary Blair's original Alice in Wonderland concept art. And that's just the beginning. Guests will also be able to adventure into off the page, a stunning area born of collaboration between Walt Disney Animation Studios and Walt Disney Imagineering. Here guests can meet some of their favorite friends from beloved stories across six unique departments from the studio. So they go through its story, layout department, hand-drawn animation, etc. There'll be photo opportunities. You can meet Mulan in the story department. Um, you can go into the layout department where Rapunzel awaits in a setting inspired by the classic multi-plane camera where you can get a picture.

Tyler

It sounds like if you you have to line the camera.

Jessica

Line the photo just right. Yeah. I guess we'll see layers of background and painted cells come together like magic. Come on.

Tyler

That's pretty cool.

Jessica

So, so excited about just character meet and greets. Okay. But the fact that there's gonna be like you can do some of the drawing in there. That's one of my favorite things on cruises. I'm always like, can we do one of the draw characters? It's one of my favorite things.

Tyler

I think because you like making fun of me.

Jessica

Partially. But also, I really like to draw. I'm not good at it, but it's fun.

Tyler

Mine are so bad. No, they're not, so exactly what they look like on the internet.

Jessica

I'm a very good rule follower. You've got the artistic flair. I can just follow rules. Yeah, maybe it's probably true. But the fact that there's gonna be this Alice in Wonderland indoor playground for the kids at Hollywood Studios.

Tyler

Yeah, that'll be so.

Jessica

That is amazing. If you have young kids, you know, like the playgrounds, especially like Epcot has a decent amount. Game changer.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

What are they gonna do at Animal Kingdom? Because I really am sad about the boneyard.

Tyler

I feel like they'll bring something.

Jessica

They've gotta bring something. Just do the same, do the exact same thing.

Tyler

In the tropical Americas area, they might pull. I don't know. I don't know.

Jessica

Well, I will say playgrounds.

Tyler

In this area, it has been sort of a concrete wasteland for the better part of a decade at least. Because I feel like, you know, it well, we won't even go to all the history, but like once they close down the old animation stuff, I mean it's just kind of been a hodgepodge of random stuff.

Jessica

They never really reopen that store that's on the left when you walk in the past five, six, or seven years.

Tyler

Big open concrete thing, maybe like stroller parking, but there's not a lot of trees or anything.

Jessica

So they're gonna be trees.

Tyler

Well, that's one of the things I'm most excited about is just looking at the concept art, assuming it ends up looking like this, which you know, you never know. There's so much greenery in the concept art. I'm like, thank goodness. Like it's gonna be so much nicer than just basically a big parking lot for strollers. It's gonna be really nice.

Jessica

Hollywood Studios can definitely use a little tree action. So that's gonna be really nice. That was the thing I'm the most excited about, you guys.

Tyler

Yeah, that's gonna be huge. So keeping at Hollywood Studios, obviously, we've talked about this before, but the Muppets are no more. They're moving over to what was Rock and Roller Coaster with Aerosmith. Now it's gonna be Muppets themed.

Jessica

So I think you can ride regular rock and roller coaster until March 2nd. Second, yeah.

Tyler

Yeah, so you got a little bit longer, but I think they've already gotten rid of the pre-show. So the pre-show is gone, so you just kind of walk right in, so you can't like do it fully, but it's you know, it's there.

Jessica

Yeah, there's videos on YouTube. It's okay. But I'm I'm kind of amazed at how quick of a turnaround that is that they're opening it in the summer at some point. I'm like, so they're only needing a few months. Which kind of makes it turn over. I mean, I just found that interesting. I was like, wow.

Tyler

If you think about it, I mean the reality is they'll the ride's the same, right?

Jessica

Like the you know, layout, the same.

Tyler

So they'll they're they're probably already working on the the pre-show area. That's that'll change. The ride's not changing. All they need to do is change the signs inside, maybe which shouldn't take all that long. So I guess it kind of makes sense.

Jessica

Yeah, because they I guess they can do a lot of this off-site and then just install.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

It's probably still. I'm like, that's awesome that it's so quick, such a quick okay.

Tyler

Um, and then Millennium Falcon Smuggler's Run. Uh, a new mission is touching down on May 22nd, centered around centered around the Marin Mandalorian and Grogu. Okay, so Soren across America.

Jessica

But mostly America.

Tyler

Cannot wait for this. So they're they've this is now the third iteration of Soren. Obviously, they had Soren over California, Soren over the world, which is so good. I love Soren over the world so much. For America's 250th anniversary, they're now gonna do Soren over America. I'm excited to see what it is they end up doing, like what things they end up flying over.

Jessica

Because they're Statue of Liberty.

Tyler

We have such a diverse array of things in this country. I mean, are we gonna fly over the Grand Canyon? Probably, maybe Route Mushmoor. Route mushmoor. Uh when I was a kid, I said route mushhmore. Um, I don't know. There's just so many things, yeah. Both natural beauty and yeah, uh, maybe they'll fly over up to Alaska, do some of that, like over.

Jessica

Oh, they gotta do a little Alaska in Hawaii, right?

Tyler

Hawaii, right? So anyway, I'm very excited to see what all they end up doing with that.

Jessica

It's gonna be And I've heard it's temporary, right? That's what the Patrick Warburton thing. It said, he said our limited time, but they they've not given any sort of actual timeline. So this was my key word. I think Disney will say something's limited and just see what the reception is, and then they can decide like because they could also do it probably in repertory. That's it.

Tyler

That's what it's like. You know what I mean? Like do a week on, week off, and do or ever I don't know how easily they can switch things over, but I mean, with something like this, I feel like it's gotta be the easiest thing in the world to switch over because I mean it's probably probably you change but program.

Jessica

That's all program.

Tyler

So I'm sure you go like use program A, insert DVD. You know what I mean? Like it's gotta be certainly it's a DVD ROM. I'm sure it'll be uh I mean I would assume. What do I know? But I would I would think that so then it's kind of cool because then you can kind of get all three. Like they'll do this for six months, they'll do this for six months, and then you never you never know. You never know.

Jessica

You never know what you're gonna get.

Tyler

Also, at Epcot, the the GO 82 new bar just opened.

Jessica

I want to try all of these things. How can we possibly fit all these in?

Tyler

These are the we haven't been to that one yet. Okay, moving on to fall 2026.

Jessica

Really? The rest of the year is nothing crazy. It's they're talking about the International Food and Wine Festival, Eat to the Beat.

Tyler

Yeah, Jollywood looks like it's coming back.

Jessica

Mickey's not so scary, Halloween party, of course. Yep, Jollywood.

Tyler

Oh, this one's big though. In Disney Springs, there is something new coming. It's called Level 99, should be opening up this fall.

Jessica

Guys.

Tyler

It's in the old Disney Quest building.

Jessica

That guy guys. Hold on. No, we gotta. It's in, right? It's in the building.

Tyler

Yeah, but it that's been a few different things since then.

Jessica

But it's the principal. That is so cool.

Tyler

We have not been in there since it was Disney Quest.

Jessica

I mean, oh my gosh. Circa 2000. I'm so excited. I like to think that there's like random like hallways and doors that are like absolutely untouched. Like that, and I'm just gonna like anytime a door is open, I'm just gonna like be peeking around. Like, what do we got in there? That looks like old Disney Quest. That smells like 1995.

Tyler

I don't know though. I feel like with because it's gone through so many things.

Jessica

Yeah, but I don't know. Anyway, nonetheless, I'm excited to just go back in there.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

I want to watch a walkthrough of Disney Quest online before we do that. So we haven't even said what it is. Level 9.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

Well, it's like a Disney Quest for 2026.

Tyler

Kind of, yeah. Yeah.

Jessica

I mean, how would you upgrade all of that? You basically would do this.

Tyler

But it's not like VR from what I understand. It's more like actually interactive. Um here, let's just read what they said. So um, this powerhouse of play will open in 2026 with over 60 themed challenge rooms, dual and art hunts that will test the mental and physical prowess of families. And it says you can snag a drink at level 99 signature Detroit style pizza at the venue. I still can't say right. I said this three times. The word is and snag a drink and one of level 99's signature Detroit style pizzas at the venue's two-story bar.

Jessica

Once we finish our games or before the games. Um, incredible. You guys, the art hunt, we did a little digging on this, is a scavenger hunt. That sounds so much fun. The challenge rooms are like escape rooms. I'm like, I think they're just using whatever Disney lingo they want, but that's basically what it is. And then everything in between. I'm like, this, I hadn't really heard anything about this until recently. And I'm like, oh my gosh. So I'm excited to just do something different at Disney Springs.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

Also, the pizza. First of all, it's funny that something that hasn't even opened can say it's our signature pizza. I don't know why that's funny.

Tyler

Is there are there other level 99s elsewhere? That's what I was thinking.

Jessica

Oh, is there? Maybe that's why they're saying that.

Tyler

I don't know. The pizza looks really good.

Jessica

My guess is I love Detroit style pizza.

Tyler

I thought this was just a company coming in. I don't know if Disney's even operating this. We should look that up.

Jessica

Quick Google way, let's find out.

Tyler

But anyway, the what the thing that looks really cool. So in the picture that they shared, and we can pop it up here, it has a woman like doing a like the classic sword, not swords, what are those like hatchets that are going back and forth, like in Hercules, you know what I mean? You have to like run through them. Anyway, so I'm like, I think it might be physical things as well as digital kind of games. I don't know. We'll have to see.

Jessica

Okay, it is definitely a thing elsewhere. So level 99, yep. I saw one in, I think it said Massachusetts, Virginia. It does say they recommend level 99 for 10 years or older, unless they're accompanied by, oh, okay. So anyone's anyone's welcome. I was like, it's Disney, especially the one I have a feeling in Disney Springs, but I'll be curious what comes out like, yeah, Providence. So I think they have many. I'm trying to find locations. So it's definitely not a brand new thing, but I'm excited about this. That just sounds like such a great addition to that side of Disney Springs.

Tyler

Exactly.

Jessica

Because really the only game in town, literally, is the um bowling, of course, which is amazing. We love it.

Tyler

So fun, yeah.

Jessica

But what's it called?

Tyler

Pin Spin split.

Jessica

Splitsville. But I mean I still want to see drawn to life uh someday. I know, I know.

Tyler

Um so anyway, so I just wrote down a couple other things too. So they we've got the Disney Starlight Dream the Night Away. That just opened last summer. We have the new test track that's open, the Geo82, which I brought up, um, Beacon Barrel, which is the Pirates of the Caribbean themed bar in Magic Kingdom, um, Zotopia Better Zoogether. I don't know how that one got past testing.

Jessica

Um Yeah, that's that one is a big eye roll for me. And I like cheesy stuff, but I'm like just goes Zootopia Better Together. That's cute. That's we get it.

Tyler

Anyway, um, so we that that's open. We haven't seen that yet. Um The Little Mermaid Show in Hollywood Studios opened recently. So good. Villains Unfairly Ever After. We had planned to see, and then I lost my camera.

Jessica

Anyway, um we did not see that one yet.

Tyler

Those are all things that have just recently opened that we still have not seen. And so if you haven't been in the last six months or whatever, I mean, there's still so much new that has just come out, let alone everything else coming out. But then thinking too, there's also the Walt Disney animatronic coming to the carousel of progress.

Jessica

I totally forgot about that in the pre-show. In the pre-show, so that's there's so much new that we can't even keep it all in our brains. Think about that. It's crazy. It's amazing.

Tyler

Then obviously Piston Peak in Villains Land and Magic Kingdom, but like 2030, that's supposed to be done. Tropical Americas with the Encanto Dark ride and the Indiana Jones ride in Animal Kingdom. Monstropolis in Hollywood Studios between 2027 and 2028. I mean, there's it's so in the golden age, baby. So I don't know. Would you say is it worth visiting now, or should you wait a little bit longer?

Jessica

I want to say this. Well, first of all, we love going to Disney, but we also you know how like at the end of a Disney trip, if you've stayed long enough, you're like, okay, I'm ready to go home. And then like a month or two passes, and you're like, oh, I'm getting that bug, that itch. I want to go, I want to plan a trip. I am dying to go back. And there's so much on our list that we have not done, and we do go a decent amount. So I just feel like, yeah, I would go this year. I'm very excited to go this year. I'm not the construction walls and stuff, are not even really on my radar because I'm like, they always have construction. They had think about Epcot. They had construction walls, but I still had a ball at Epcot, and that was for years.

Tyler

Like the storybook land. I mean, that was in Magic Kingdom when they did New Fantasyland. Like that was closed forever. But now, I mean, it's do you remember Storybook Land? Or not Storybook Land, what is the storybook circus? That whole area, I mean, that was closed down for so long.

Jessica

You barely notice, and then, and I just feel like there's so much to do. I mean, think about how much there is to do in Disney, period.

Tyler

Yeah.

Jessica

Okay, so some things are closed with construction walls. It doesn't really generally affect most of your trip.

Tyler

Well, so here was here was my thought. So I'm like, if you are somebody that goes every year, you're not, you don't care, you're gonna go, you're gonna go anyway. Yeah. So yeah, but the person that goes every five years, maybe every 10 years. No, no, no. I would say now is actually a good time because if it's been a while since you've been, there is so much now, so much new stuff now. And the real big things that they're doing are not gonna be done until 2030, which is another five years from now. So I would say 2026 is probably a really good year.

Jessica

That's a good point. Maybe especially if you went in like the fall. Yeah, and I'm just thinking once a lot of the summer stuff's open.

Tyler

Yeah, maybe late summer.

Jessica

Late summer, fall, yeah.

Tyler

I just think this is the this is a really good year if you're somebody that doesn't go all the time. This would be a good year to do it, and then maybe another, you know, three to five years going again.

Jessica

That's a yeah, I think that's a fair assessment. You're right. Because otherwise you're waiting like three, four, five more years, and if you typically yeah, there's already so much there that would be new for you.

Tyler

So I think this is a good year for to go to Disney. Yeah, I'm I'm jazzed. And if you can spend some time, hop over to Epic Universe. I haven't been there yet. But it looks awesome, but it looks pretty awesome.

Jessica

All right, all right. So we love to read a review from one of you guys. So if you listen to us on Apple Podcasts, or even if you watch the YouTube video, but you want to leave a review, pop over to Podcasts. You can leave us a review on there, and it it helps us. I think it helps. It really does. You can leave people find our podcasts that are into Disney parks because it's you know absolutely.

Tyler

You can leave a star rating on Spotify, but you can leave a uh written review on Apple Podcasts.

Jessica

So thank you to anyone that has left a review, it means a lot. It does, and we love reading through them. So this one is from O Wee, your best Disney friend, an indispensable resource for all things Disney. I had not been to Disney World since 1976. Oh, I am so jealous that you were you went five years after it opened. Oh I loved listening to Tyler and Jessica share their love and infinite knowledge. I don't know about that, but thank you. While being so genuine, friendly, and funny. When I went back to Disney World this year, I was totally prepared thanks to Disneyville. My cousin said I did things she had never done, and she goes every year. I'm now a lifelong citizen of Disneyville. That is awesome. That's the dream. That is that is just so cool. It's funny because we have people in our real life that love Disney parks and Disney World too. And they, I don't think they know we have a podcast to tell us stuff, and I'm like, yeah, we know. I don't say that, but it's just I'm like, I don't think they know.

Tyler

Yeah, they don't, they don't, they don't know. I'm like, oh, you don't understand. That's it.

Jessica

I'm like, I don't think you understand how deep, how deep and dark we are in this.

Tyler

So if you're a citizen of Jimmy, you're in the trenches with us.

Jessica

You you know, you know, you're you're in the know.

Tyler

Somebody comes up to you and tells you how something didn't be like, oh, I know.

Jessica

What is it that Ron Swanson says?

Tyler

I know more than you.

Jessica

I we don't, and we don't, but you get it. Yeah, anyway, all right, all right. Well, okay, this was such a fun episode. It's got me so hopeful and excited for the next for now, right now at Disney, but also the next few years, the next year.

Tyler

It makes me I'm I've in a in a in a weird way, I'm almost glad we canceled this last trip for a couple years. I know, but it's made me so much more excited for when we're gonna go here.

Jessica

I know, I was going through the exact same thing.

Tyler

Anyway, I hope you guys enjoyed that, and we will see you on the next one.

Jessica

Bye.
