the Columbia Harbor House. That is the restaurant where you can go upstairs and eat. We've went upstairs and ate there before. They have frosted the upper level windows to prevent views of Frontier land construction. Oh,

Joni 2:47

Oh. So that's kind of a neat place to look and just people

NIck 2:51

Yeah, that's what they thought too. And they said, well, everything else,

And I couldn't find an exact schedule, but they may continue to perform during the inter Fest International Festival of the holidays.

Miscellaneous Disney News

Joni 3:37

This was a pre COVID deal? Yep. And it's just now coming back. Back, oh, my word. I don't

NIck 3:43

I don't know when they're gonna bring back the magical express. I don't know when they're gonna bring back delivering souvenirs to your room. Those are two things that

Joni 3:51

what, it kind of hurts my heart though, because the, the kids that are, were in marching bands for the last four years. I mean, there's, they've, they've entered in graduated high school. Yeah. By now

NIck 4:04

Joni 5:00

Uhhuh. So

NIck 5:02

if these, I saw pictures of the figurines, they're really cute.

Joni 5:05

cute. Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

NIck 5:06

So, i'm kind of excited for that.

Joni 5:07

Yeah. I've already, I've already made my connection this morning to, I have a McDonald's contact

NIck 5:12

party. She's got an inside.

Joni 5:13

inside,

NIck 5:13

got an inside,

Joni 5:15

so I've already I've already recruited some help on that one. And then I, I thought in retrospect, is this. You know, kind of silly to have 70 figurines laying around. And then I thought, absolutely not. Absolutely not.

NIck 5:28

not. We got a whole shelf of stuff. We can, we, we can make room.

Joni 5:31

Yeah, that's right. Our living space in the basement behind the bar area has some shelving that is design designated for strictly Disney.

NIck 5:40

yep. I'm looking at it right now. There's four popcorn buckets. There's a magic band display, a lighted magic band display. There's some resort

Joni 5:48

one that Nick had bought for us to hang our magic bands

NIck 5:50

Yeah, it's really cool. Cool. It's lit up air. It lights up different colors and two resort mugs. Then next to it we have a fridge in our bar and

Joni 5:57

I got you. I got you. The steam. Steamboat. Willie. Steamboat.

NIck 6:00

a huge Steamboat Willie magnet. Or a pen. I'm sorry. But our fridge is all decked out with, uh, all our cruise magnets

Joni 6:07

the door. Yep. Yep.

NIck 6:08

So there's a lot of Mickey Mouse in my view right

Joni 6:10

Yep. And then that's been up since last Christmas. Yeah.

NIck 6:13

a lighted puzzle.

Joni 6:14

I put a lighted puzzle together last year and, and hung it on a canvas. And it's not come down.

NIck 6:20

we ever turn this into a video podcast, we got, we got plenty of Mickey Mouse to call.

Joni 6:25

That's right. But I, you know what I really would like to have what? And I wonder if anybody's got it, the Lego castle.

NIck 6:32

Yeah, I, I want that Lego castle. I, I can't

Joni 6:35

you have the patience to put it together though? Yeah, you do. I would.

NIck 6:38

I would

Joni 6:39

have much

NIck 6:39

that, that price tag, I've, I've not almost pulled the trigger on it a couple times, but I've got to that point to where I've made a decision, am I gonna pull the

Joni 6:49

But the more I think about it, it'd be great to have the gigantic one, but then in retrospect, I'm like, you know, I saw the video of that person who has the entire

NIck 6:57

magic kingdom Yeah. In his basement. That

Joni 6:59

is pretty awesome.

NIck 6:59

That is awesome. With moving parts.

Joni 7:02

I, I could never be that into the Lego. I mean, I like Legos, but not

NIck 7:07

Right. That was some time

Joni 7:09

and Exactly. And, but I'm kind of wondering if we should just do like a Cinderella castle and then

NIck 7:16

that's what I want. I want the Cinderella

Joni 7:18

but like little versions of'em and have multiple castles like the Disneyland and the Walt Disney World and.

NIck 7:25

yeah, I don't know. I want that Cinderella castle. Eventually I'm gonna

Joni 7:28

it. It's huge.

NIck 7:29

it is big. It is expensive.'cause I mean, Legos in general are expend

Joni 7:34

but it is pretty cool. It is

NIck 7:35

pretty cool. And

Joni 7:37

I can't remember, is it the old paint or the new paint?'cause they're reverting back to the

NIck 7:42

old, I believe. Okay.

Joni 7:44

so it's the blue and white. It's not the pink and

NIck 7:45

Yeah, I think so. I can't picture it in my head. I mean, I can picture it, but I can't think of the color.

Joni 7:50

I think it's blue and white.

NIck 7:51

Eventually that's gonna be

Joni 7:53

I mean, I think that's what the Lego is being sold. Yeah. I think it's the blue

Spotlight on Big Thunder Mountain

NIck 7:56

No, I'm saying eventually that thing's

Joni 7:58

Anyway, enough of our, of our dreams and wishes

NIck 8:01

here. Well, yeah. That's it for my

Joni 8:02

but it is Christmas. You know, we could always get Ask for a Miracle.

NIck 8:05

fa wants to buy us, uh, the Cinderella

Joni 8:07

I didn't mean that. I meant Santa

NIck 8:09

are accepting gifts.

Joni 8:11

I met Santa. So

NIck 8:13

that's all for my news. Oh, wow. Short week. Wow.

Joni 8:15

Wow. It is short week. So.

NIck 8:17

we can go over to the spotlight on attraction. What do we got this week? Well,

Joni 8:22

This week, well, this week we're gonna do Big Thunder Mountain. Big Thunder Mountain.

NIck 8:23

Big Thunder

Joni 8:24

Yeah. We've got just a couple more big thunder and then one more in, uh, frontier Land. And then we'll be moving over to our last, well, actually not our last land, Liberty Square

NIck 8:34

outside Liberty Square.

Joni 8:35

Thunder Mountain is a fast thrill, small drops, outdoor rollercoaster ride. Some parts are bumpy and some take place in the dark. You race through a haunted gold mine aboard a speeding train. On this thrilling rollercoaster style ride requirements are 40 inches for height, up to two riders per vehicle. And the in cars of roller coasters in general are more pulley. So they're faster

NIck 9:04

They They feel faster. Yeah.'cause you're getting pulled.

Joni 9:07

Right. It is a tier one multipass. And if you're in a, an electric vehicle, electric scooter, you need to be able to transfer to a wheelchair and then to the ride vehicle. There's no action photo. The ride duration is about three and a half minutes, and the roller coaster at its highest speed goes 36 miles per hour.

NIck 9:26

I did not know that.

Joni 9:27

Yeah, so it opened a Walt Disney World, September 2nd, 1979, and some of the many Easter eggs within this ride. And Q are, the portrait in the Q line is of Imagineer, Tony Baxter, but he's portrayed as the mind's owner Barnabas t Bullion. Yep.

NIck 9:49

And

Joni 9:50

It's a reference to the previous mine train through Nature's Wonderland Attraction and nods to other Disney films like Home on the Range, such as the Wanted posters for Al Maa Slim are in the queue and the apple dumpling gang in that mining. And that the mining canaries are mentioned as being from the film and the rocks are from the filming location. There is a canary cage labeled Rosita, and that is referencing a character from in the enchanted tiki room. And there are hidden Mickeys in the forms of, in the gears, in the cactus, uh, there's a coiled rattlesnake. The Western Expedition and delivery service is a play on Walt Elias. Disney's initial, so it's WED and it's on one of the, carts that south. Okay. But it stands for Hi. So the WED is for his initials, and the former Marshall of Rainbow Ridge was Willard bounds, who was Walt's father-in-law. Oh. So

NIck 10:52

didn't know that.

Joni 10:53

Okay. Those are just a, just to name a few. I didn't give all, but just kind of some of those I didn't know about.

NIck 10:58

No, I didn't know. You know,

Joni 10:59

walk by that WED all the time and you don't think about it. You're just like, oh, that's just a random, but it. You know, it's a tribute and I had no idea that the bird was from the tiki room.

NIck 11:09

I didn't either.

Joni 11:10

So kind of

NIck 11:11

Didn't either. And this is under refurbishment currently. Like we just talked last week. They begun testing ride vehicles. That's set to open in early 2026. But yeah, that painting of Tony Baxter in the queue was pretty cool. Mm-hmm. This was his baby? Yeah. I can't remember if he said this, we watched a special on it. I can't remember if he said this was his first like project. He was in charge of his idea. He brought it to the table. But this

Joni 11:35

but he's got very big mention in there. And to have his portrait up there was probably, yeah.

NIck 11:39

This, this was his baby.

Joni 11:41

Mm-hmm.

NIck 11:42

So, okay. Big Thunder Mountain. Hopefully it's opened earlier rather than later. 20, 26 sometime is all Disney saying. So it's one. I like it, it's one of my favorite attractions at Magic Kingdom. Well,

Joni 11:52

Well, yeah. And then they first for the filming of. The apple dumpling gang. Yeah, the bricks or the rocks. Mm-hmm. Those are actually at the ride. That's,

NIck 12:01

that's pretty

Joni 12:02

yeah. So I just love how they incorporate little things like

NIck 12:05

that stuff. Yeah.

Joni 12:06

yeah. Pretty cool.

NIck 12:08

Okay, well let's go on over to our movie. This movie is one of Disney's, I would say most famous movies.

Joni 12:16

I would have to

NIck 12:17

Most classic movies. I

Joni 12:18

have to agree.

Pinocchio's Origins and Box Office Success

NIck 12:19

I. If not the most famous. Definitely top three for sure. It's

Joni 12:23

It is. Wait till I read into what's going on here with this,

NIck 12:27

watch, we watched this last night for a refresher.

Joni 12:29

Yeah, we've seen it, but we did do a refresher on it. We've not seen the live action. We've seen the trailer of it, but I'm excited to see the live action. Yeah. You know, and kind of do a comparison too. Now there's

NIck 12:39

what are we talking about?

Joni 12:40

we're talking about Pinocchio.

NIck 12:42

pin, or as I kept saying all night. Pinoccio,

Joni 12:44

Pinoccio, oh my word. Okay. So Pinocchio's, first appearance of February 7th, 1940 at the Center Theater in New York City. And then it released to the US the, the rest of the us. February 23rd, 1940. Uh, it's one hour, 28 minutes. The budget was 2.6 million. Box office pulled, guess

NIck 13:04

uh, 2.6, budget,

Joni 13:06

2.6 budget

NIck 13:08

First of all, that's a lot of money in 1940. So we were gonna say how ticket sales, I would say let's go with 23 million. Oh,

Joni 13:16

oh, you gotta go way high. Really? One more guess. And I'll

NIck 13:20

1940s money. That's crazy. Yeah. 57, 160 4 million. Wow.

Characters and Plot of Pinocchio

Joni 13:27

Yeah. Directed by supervising directors Ben Sharpstein and Hamilton Lusk and sequence directors. Bill Roberts, Norman Ferguson, Jack Kenny. Wilfred Jackson and t he, so initial T last name, HEE. I just didn't want everybody to think I was going. T he, he, he,

NIck 13:47

no, that's, it's a name.

Joni 13:49

The Adventures of Winnie, the, oh, it's based on the adventures of, uh, Pinocchio. I almost said Winnie the Pooh. Based on the adventures of Pinocchio and 1883 children's fantasy novel by Italian author Carlo Colo. How did I say that? Uh,

NIck 14:04

Uh, KTO. Kto. I, it was Colido. Okay.

Joni 14:07

we'll go with it. We'll go with it. His age, Pinocchio's age is suspected. It doesn't come out right and say it but he's suspected to be about seven to eight years old based on his personality and behavior. His traits are naive, mischief, gullible, but he is also brave, good hearted and has a strong desire to be good. He's Italian. The region is Tuscan region of Italy. The author of the book was actually from Florence City, Italy. So the plot storyline is, Pinocchio follows the adventures of a mischievous wooden puppet, carved by the kindly woodworker Jato, brought to life by magic Pinocchio. Dreams of becoming a real boy and struggles with temptation, dishonesty, and impulsive choices. As he wanders away from home, he encounters strange characters, learns difficult lessons, and begins to understand what it truly means to be brave, honest, and responsible. Though his journey is far from straightforward sidekicks are,

NIck 15:08

this

Joni 15:08

is his first appearance,

NIck 15:10

Mr. Cricket,

Joni 15:11

Mr. Jimy Cricket, and this is actually based on, there's, it actually in the 1883 book. A cricket. Yeah. So this is where Disney first introduces Jiminy

NIck 15:24

Jiminy Cricket, the classic goal or the classic Jiminy Cricket. The one you all know and love.

Joni 15:29

Yeah. And his role in Pinocchio is, do you remember

NIck 15:32

his conscious? Yeah.

Joni 15:34

And so Pinocchio's family is his, uh, wood carving father, Gito, his cat's name is

NIck 15:41

oh. Oh. I just, it's on the, what is it? Figaro. Figaro

Joni 15:45

and the fish name is,

NIck 15:47

know the Fish's name. Cleo. Cleo, okay.

Joni 15:50

And Pinocchio, obviously, he's seven or eight years old, so he doesn't have a spouse and he doesn't have children. Follow up movies, though, there are many adaptations from various film studios. Disney has a live action version that was released September, 2022, so that's the one we're

NIck 16:07

Tom Hanks, yeah.

Joni 16:08

right? With Tom Hanks. All the other ones out. There's lots,

NIck 16:11

there is lots. She kind of, Joni actually, she usually does a segment, but she's like, can you, you know, help me with these movies? And I, I looked at, there's all kinds of movies and I was like, we'll just stick with the Disney

Joni 16:22

Yeah. And you know, it was okay for other film industries to replicate it because it wasn't owned by anyone specific.

NIck 16:32

I actually have a tidbit to that, but after you're done with this, but go ahead, go ahead.

Joni 16:35

Go ahead. You can edit

NIck 16:36

Well there, there is a Pinocchio, I believe at Universal. There's a Pinocchio like puppet there. Yeah. So I looked up that Disney

Joni 16:45

we wanted to make sure we weren't it comes out of the tree,

NIck 16:47

right? Yeah. That was a universal, right? Yeah. Pretty sure.

Joni 16:50

We wanted to make sure we were like, what is going on? We were kind

NIck 16:52

Disney has a copyright on Pinocchio. The Pinocchio you see in the film, the image of Pinocchio that is, that is Disney's ip. Mm-hmm. They don't have a copyright in Pinocchio. The story, the story you see, that's free game because, but they do have a copyright on their story of it. And the image of Pinocchio, you, you all know from the movie that is their copyright I or their ip.

Joni 17:17

And I did read a little bit of the 1883, just kind of skimmed it. Yeah. And as with all Disney remakes of original stories, the original stories are not as,

NIck 17:29

they can be pretty

Joni 17:30

dark. They are very dark. Yeah. All it seems like all children's stories.

NIck 17:35

from that era

Joni 17:35

they're first created are

NIck 17:37

dark.

Joni 17:39

so, it was kind of like, wow. Well, they left that out. Disney

NIck 17:42

Disney. Disney brightened it up quite a bit. Quite

Joni 17:44

brightened it up quite a bit. Absolutely. So anyway, let's go on here. The awards, so I, pulled up nominations and wins. I couldn't find anything for nominations, which means that everything they were nominated for, they won, which was all nine.

NIck 18:00

Okay?

Pinocchio's Literary History and Global Impact

Joni 18:00

So I had, I'm gonna assume nine nominations and they won all of them. Okay. 1941 Academy Awards for best score and best song when you wish upon a star, the A-S-C-A-P Film and Television Music Award for the same song, the Hugo Award, they won a National Film Preservation Board, 1994 winner. The National Film Registry. There were two photo play awards. For best picture and best performance of the month of, uh, for April of that year. And lastly, two. Online film and television Association Hall of Fame for motion picture in 2016 and song in 2021. Okay, so here's where it gets in, where you're talking about. You know, the popularity of, of the story. So this story, which was originally published in a serial form as the story of a puppet in one of the earliest Italian weekly magazines for children starting July 7th, 1881. So this is pre-book started? Mm-hmm. Started out in a magazine. Mm-hmm. The story stopped after nearly four months, which was only eight episodes and 15 chapters. But by popular demand from the readers. The episodes were resumed on February 16th, 1882, and concluded January 25th, 1883. So it went another 11 months before it was done releasing a total of 13 chapters published across 26 issues. Now, in February of 1883, it was published into the single book. And has since been the most popular children's book and has been critically acclaimed. It has been translated into as many as 260 languages worldwide.

NIck 19:50

I didn't think I knew there was 260 languages worldwide.

Joni 19:53

honestly. Yeah. Insane making it one of the world's most translated books. While it is likely one of the best. Bestselling books ever published. The total sales since its first publication are unknown due to the many reductions and different versions. Some sources report 35 million copies, sold others report, 80 million sold.

NIck 20:18

Wow.

Joni 20:19

However, according to an American scholar, pioneer, and writer of children's literature. Felia Butler. It also remains the most translated Italian book. And after the Bible it is the most widely read

NIck 20:34

two. Huh? Number two

Joni 20:36

two to the Bible. Wow. So I didn't realize, I mean, you go and you know the, what's that? Golden Books? The real old timey books, you know, I mean, and that could even begin to date here. But I would just love to see, even in a museum. 1883 copy of this

NIck 20:54

book, Pinocchio could probably look it up. Yeah.

Joni 20:56

How amazing is that? I, I wouldn't have never guessed that this was second to the Bible. No,

NIck 21:02

No, me neither. And 60 languages. And, and like you said, the, the story is kind of dark, the original story. That's crazy. That

Joni 21:09

is crazy. And

NIck 21:10

And one of Disney's most probably one of the most successful movies I would, I would imagine. I mean, for, you know,

Joni 21:15

well look at the money.

NIck 21:17

right? It

Joni 21:17

two and a half million up to

NIck 21:19

to 64, quite a return.

Joni 21:22

Yeah. I think that's gotta be the biggest return yet.

NIck 21:24

Yeah. Figure out the percentage on that. That's crazy.

Joni 21:27

I mean, of any movie we've talked about or that we're going to talk about in the future, I think this is the biggest return. That's 160. What is that? 161.5 profit. Mm-hmm. Woo. I don't know. I could be wrong, but I'm blown away by that right now. So that's what I have for good old Pinocchio. Pinocchio.

Tips for Backing Up Photos on Vacation

NIck 21:45

Yeah, check it off. You've never seen it? I've watched it. I remember watching it when I was little. We watched a little bit of it within the last few years with one of our grandkids. And then I watched the full thing last night. I did not remember anything about the whale at, at all. So that was,

Joni 22:00

Monstrous or what was his name?

NIck 22:02

I don't remember.

Joni 22:03

All the fish would run. Yeah. Or swim rather. They can't run. Joanie.

NIck 22:10

All right. Well that's Pinocchio. Thanks Joni.

Joni 22:11

Yeah. And I'm excited to see the, the

NIck 22:13

The live action. Yeah,

Joni 22:14

let's watch that. Maybe we'll watch it on vacation. One of the nights when we get back to the

NIck 22:18

We could, yeah. Resort. Resort stay. Yep. Okay. Onto our tipper trick. I didn't tell Joni about this for, because there's kind of a story that she ran into with this tipper trick, th tipper trick. I'm kind of go into a couple things here is to back up your photos nightly to the cloud on your phone. Mm. Okay. Because here, number one, I think I, no, this is true with my phone. I don't use iPhones. I use Android, and I know this is true with Joni's phones. She use Android as well. The settings in those phones are to where they back up your photos when you're connected to wifi.

Joni 22:54

Mm-hmm.

NIck 22:54

it's gotta be idled for more than two hours or whatever your particular setting is. And that's good to have because it doesn't use your data and it doesn't do while you're on your phone typically. It does it overnight when you're sleeping, connected to wifi,

Joni 23:06

but it doesn't help when you're on a cruise in the middle of an ocean. So

NIck 23:09

If you, Joanie is one to take a lot of videos when we're on vacation. Well, last year we were on vacation. She was taking videos in Hollywood studios and her video stopped and she didn't know what was going on. Her phone was completely full of storage, so. cause we didn't, she was not on wifi at the resort, so it never backed up. All her videos just kept compiling data and data and data and data. So luckily

Joni 23:31

of the ocean, they don't do that either.

NIck 23:33

Yeah, yeah. So what we did in that particular situation was, and we never do this, but we kind of had to, we connected to Disney's wifi in Hollywood Studios and backed up her phone. The wifi isn't. Extremely fast. It did the job. It took a while, but we were able to do that and free up some space by tweeting videos to avoid that situation. We could have backed, made sure her phone was backed up every night. Mm-hmm. So when you get back to the resort, connect to the wifi and just manually back up your photos and videos

Joni 24:03

Yeah. You don't wanna lose those memories. Yeah. Or not be able to take further because

NIck 24:07

Exactly. It happens

Joni 24:08

to me, every vacation I have to, I literally have to go in and back up my phone and move

NIck 24:13

a, a couple days before we leave, she always frees up space on her phone because she knows she's gonna be taking a lot of videos. So make sure you back up at the end of the night so you don't run into a storage issue and then you can't do anything. But luckily at Disney, they do have wifi. We don't normally don't connect to the wifi. In Disney, we find that our cellular service. Data is better, and plus just the congestion of the WI people on wifi at Disney. But yeah, just make sure you back'em up every night so you can have fresh storage for your next day. Yeah,

Joni 24:43

That's a good tip.

NIck 24:44

It is a good tip.

Joni 24:46

I

NIck 24:46

have gave Jonie that tip

Joni 24:47

I know. I know. You should have.

NIck 24:49

but then, you know, I don't think, you don't think about it because you just think your phone does it on its own. But if you go into the settings, I mean.

Joni 24:55

now Nick warns me like two weeks ahead of time that I need to make,

NIck 24:58

freeing up space.

Joni 25:00

but we also, what we do is we transfer all of our videos and photos and I put them in. Chronological order, and we back them up onto a drive. Right. A

NIck 25:11

She, we back'em up on our cloud and onto a a memory card. So it's in two spots. Okay. Well that's it. Next week's show. We, so it's, we don't know how we're gonna do it yet. We're gonna have a show.
