[00:00:07] Speaker A: Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Mouse Ears Podcast, where we talk about all things travel, but mostly Disney, brought to you by Fairy Tale Journeys Travel. [00:00:20] Speaker B: Welcome back, everyone, to another episode of the Mouse Ears Podcast. I gotta say, this episode is quite the special treat for all you guys listening.

Now, on today's episode, if you're watching us, you're gonna see some new faces. But before we get there, we've got Brooks from South Carolina. How are you, Brooks? [00:00:55] Speaker A: Hi, D ho neighbors. You didn't steal it from me this time. [00:00:58] Speaker B: I did. Not doing well. You know, I rehearsed it before. I'm like, how are you? [00:01:03] Speaker A: Stephanie? Put it gente. [00:01:06] Speaker B: You know, an attempt was made. An attempt was made. I'm doing good. Little nervous right now because this is a really, really important episode that people just don't know about it yet. We also have returning guest, the queen of dcl, Laura Greco. How are you, Laura? [00:01:23] Speaker C: I am well. I am well. I feel like I should have worn my tiara. I did not. [00:01:29] Speaker B: You know what? You're still a queen with or without the tiara on this podcast. [00:01:34] Speaker C: That's why I love coming back. I still have love. [00:01:38] Speaker B: And we have a new guest, also an FTJ agent. We have Sarah Ernanwine with us tonight. How are you? [00:01:47] Speaker D: I'm good, thanks. [00:01:49] Speaker B: So you guys don't know this, but pre recording, we had to practice. I had to practice Sarah's last name. I will admit I am human. So that's why Brooks mentioned my last name, because my last name isn't easy either. And it's very long. [00:02:03] Speaker A: So just like any other language, I butchered it. [00:02:06] Speaker B: Stop it. [00:02:07] Speaker C: That's why we say pg. [00:02:09] Speaker B: Exactly. Yeah. And that's about it. So anyways, so today's episode, if you've listened to some of our previous episode and have heard Laura on our episodes, you probably might guess that this has to do with Disney cruise line. And if you guessed that, you are correct, tonight's episode is about a sneak peek that fairy tale journeys attended at New York for the Disney treasure end of November, not too long ago. [00:02:41] Speaker D: By its not Too long ago, November 20th. [00:02:46] Speaker B: Thank you, Sarah. So in that preview, that sneak peek, if you will, what was it? The christening. That's the one I'm looking for. Both Laura and Sarah along with FTJ owner Suzanne and Steve Hayes, they were able to not only get a fantastic performance by Jordan Sparks and see this beautiful drone show above the Disney Treasure, but they were able to explore the boat in its entirety, pretty much. So a lot is in store on today's episode. So sit tight and get ready because we're gonna have a lot of fun tonight. But before we do, dive into this topic, Brooks, can you take new news for us tonight? [00:03:33] Speaker A: I sure can. Welcome to the new news. I am your anchor, Christian Brooks Runner. All right, we're going to get through this quick so we can get to the Treasure. Which by the way, every time I hear Disney Treasure, Bruno Mars's Treasure song pops in my head every single time. And why they didn't have that somewhere in the christening. Missed opportunity. Anyway, so with the new news, so we're going to go over to our western neighbors. Over at Disneyland we have new ticket deals for SoCal residents. From January 1 to May 12, 2025, Southern California residents can visit the Disneyland resort theme parks for as low as $67 a day with the purchase of a special three day one park per day ticket. That is an amazing deal. Reminds me of the deal that they had at Disney World during the summer where you could go to the three parks for three three day three parks minus Magic Kingdom for 2 97. Or you could do the four park four day for 397. So if you plan on going to Disneyland at the beginning of the year and you're a SoCal resident, make sure you take advantage of this deal next 2025, which is crazy, is almost here. And with it some important details for those traveling to Walt Disney World. And this I was happy about. Dinosaur in Disney's Animal Kingdom will remain open throughout the year as imagineers began begin transforming DinoLand USA into tropical America. So if you if you haven't had a chance to ride dinosaur before it goes away, you will have 2025 to ride it and make sure you get your dino. But we are saying bye bye bye to it's tough to be a bug as the tree of life will soon be home to a brand new show next year called Zootopia Better Together Next Disney Villains. [00:06:04] Speaker B: Wait wait wait wait. [00:06:05] Speaker A: Yes, yes. [00:06:06] Speaker B: Zootopia Better Zoo Gether Zoo. [00:06:08] Speaker A: Gether Zoo Zoo. [00:06:10] Speaker B: And I will say I wrote a blog article on it today so check out the Mouse Ears blog for articles on some of these new news. And I had to go back and forth because Autocorrect kept wanting to say together and it would correct it to. I'd have to correct it to together. So that's the only reason it's in my mind. [00:06:29] Speaker C: Easy. [00:06:29] Speaker A: My mind, my mind was on autocorrect. [00:06:32] Speaker B: Listen, I get it. [00:06:34] Speaker A: But moving on, Disney Villains, I'm fairly ever after. It's a new live performance coming to Sunset showcase venue at Hollywood Studios. So that is over. Where correct me if I'm Wrong, the Lightning McQueen simulator show was next to the Rock and roller coaster which is also getting a re theming. And then also at Hollywood Studios is the return of your favorite underwater underwater folk in an all new show, the Little Mermaid Musical Adventure Underwater Mirror Folk. This classic story will come to life in the summer of 2025 with an all new set, a vibrant cast of puppets, live performers and stunning nude visuals. I can tell you right now, my wife Kelsey is pumped for that show to come back, but it was in dire need of a refurb. So I'm excited to see what they're going to do with it. Over at Epcot, we will get to experience the return of test track with an all new storyline and guests will get to experience a brand new space spaceship Earth Lounge opening in late spring. I want to talk about another ride that needed a reefer, that test track, but I am excited to see what they're going to do with that. Over in Magic Kingdom, a Pirates of the Caribbean inspired tavern is making landfall in Adventureland late 2025 with plenty of mysterious and magical mysteries in store for travelers stopping by. That's going to be interesting. You know that you know Captain Jack Sparrow will be coming in to check out that tavern. And lastly, but probably what we're most excited about here, Mouse Ears Podcast. And hopefully our Mouse Ears universe is excited for it as well because the debut of a brand new nighttime parade, Disney Starlight Dream the Night Away, which will begin its nightly schedule this coming summer. And then, and also with all this stuff happening and with the holiday seasons coming around, if you plan on gifting a magical vacation, contact your favorite FTJ agent to plan your 2025 magical vacation. And with that, that's the end of the new news. Back over to Steph in the. [00:09:25] Speaker B: I never get tired of this jingle. It's just so uplifting. But you know what, Brooks? I'm gonna throw it right back out to you so that you can do today's trivia. [00:09:36] Speaker A: Okay, hold on, let me get right back to it. Today's trivia question is brought to you by one of our wonderful sponsors, Magic Candle Company. Next time you want a Disney inspired scent to fill your room or office, whether it be a candle room, spray oil diffuser or more. Use our special promo code, mouse ears for 15% off, that is without the dashes. M O U S E A R s for 15% discount or off of any future magic candle company purchase. I say without the dashes because in our show notes we have dashes in there and in parentheses it says don't have to say the dashes. So if you wonder why I always say without the dashes. But tonight's trivia question, and this is a fun one, how many horn melodies does the Disney Treasure have? Stay tuned to the end of the episode of Find out. And spoiler, Bruno Mars's Treasure is not one of the. Isn't. [00:10:46] Speaker C: No. I'm sorry, Brooks. It's not. [00:10:50] Speaker B: I agree with you, though. Kind of. [00:10:52] Speaker C: Jordan Sparks has that anthem. That's why it's. [00:10:57] Speaker A: It's a good. It's a good new song. But they could also throw in Treasure. Treasure. [00:11:03] Speaker C: Maybe Bruno said no and that's okay. [00:11:08] Speaker A: My singing is bad enough to where we won't have copyright anyway. [00:11:12] Speaker C: That's true. Copyright. Copyright. [00:11:15] Speaker A: Well, I'm saying it's bad enough to where we won't have to worry about that. But Steph over. I'm going to throw it back to you. I didn't have enough time to spend all the way around for tonight's episode. I don't think we're throwing anything back to me. I might get dizzy. [00:11:34] Speaker B: I will. [00:11:34] Speaker C: Maybe I'll have to throw something to Sarah. I don't know. This is fun. Okay. [00:11:38] Speaker A: I mean, I could. I could be like Glinda with a throwing the hair. [00:11:43] Speaker B: I love it. Oh, I love it. So tonight's episode is the unveiling of the Disney Treasure. An insider scoop on Disney Cruise Line's newest ship where Laura and Sarah were able to go literally on the first day, the first opportunity that guests were able to be on. As long as you weren't a cast member, Right? A little bit of a background in regards to Disney Treasure. This is the newest addition to the Disney Cruise Line and it is setting sail on its maiden voyage on December 21st. [00:12:17] Speaker C: Shall be on there as well. [00:12:19] Speaker B: So just a few weeks from today. And for those of you that don't know, this is considered the sister ship to Disney Wish and continuing Disney's Wish class series. The Disney Treasures theme is adventure and exploration, drawing inspiration from Disney's most beloved stories. And you can see this throughout every single venue, every single stateroom. It is nothing but breathtaking. I've seen the pictures, I've seen the videos, I've seen the artist rendering, and I can't wait to see it. Don't forget, FTJ and Mouse Ears are going to be in the next few days because this will drop on Monday. So this entire week, you'll get nothing but content from the Disney treasure, in addition to everything that Laura and Sarah will be providing. So, um, let's talk a little bit about these stories. What are some of the storylines, movies, classics or otherwise, that really made an impression that stood out to you guys? Would you say that are the ones that are most prevalent throughout the ship? [00:13:21] Speaker D: Well, the grand hall, when you walk in, you're going to see Aladdin and Jasmine on the carpet, and then off to the side is the magic lamp that was there. So that's like, the first impression you get. Did I freeze again? [00:13:34] Speaker C: You did, damn it. [00:13:37] Speaker A: You're fine. We'll keep. [00:13:38] Speaker D: We'll cut. We'll cut. Did you hear anything I said? [00:13:41] Speaker C: You said Bran Hall. Aladdin. [00:13:44] Speaker A: Aladdin and Jasmine. [00:13:45] Speaker D: Jasmine, yeah. So we. We got to see Aladdin, Jasmine on the carpet. So you see that, like, smack in the middle when you walk in, you see the lamp, so you can go over to it and hold it. That was, like, the first impression that we saw. But I know Laura saw the back of the ship, too, which has the other characters on it. [00:14:04] Speaker C: And the reason she's saying that is because she came into Port Canaveral first. And I got the picture in Port Canaveral of the back of the ship. So you have Captain Hook and Peter Pan on the back on the aft. And then the other venues that show the adventure theme, you have 20,000 leagues under the Sea. Periscope. That was the name of it, right? [00:14:33] Speaker D: Periscope Pub. [00:14:34] Speaker C: Yeah, Periscope Pub. Those familiar with the Wish? Because I'm sure some of our listeners have been on the Wish that takes over keg and compass. Skipper's Canteen from the Jungle Cruise is where Bayou is on the Wish. And so those are the adventure themes that you see going through. I have to say, as we're talking about the grand hall, which is, of course, the first thing you're going to see when you walk in. The attention to detail. And when I'm going through all the pictures that Sarah and I took, I noticed some things that I didn't even notice when we were standing on the ship. Sarah, did you notice the carpet next to the carpet? Like, when we were taking pictures with Jasmine and Aladdin, did you look down at the floor? [00:15:22] Speaker D: No, I was looking up at the chandelier. Because I was looking at the six lanterns. [00:15:27] Speaker C: Yes, because the chandelier has meaning in the grand hall. But the detail of what we're standing on, Abu is on the floor. Go through our pictures. Go look. [00:15:37] Speaker D: Okay, I'll go look. I'm remembering the Simba on the carpet upstairs or one of the hallways. Now I'm not. Okay, now I gotta go look. [00:15:44] Speaker C: Gotta go look. The attention to detail on the ship is insane. It's insane. And we can go into more detail about this when we go over questions about the differences between the wish and the treasure and the build process between the two. That's why this ship is so stunning. [00:16:02] Speaker A: And this is why we need two people at all of these unveilings. Because one's looking at the ceiling, one's looking at the floor. So you have everything covered. [00:16:11] Speaker C: But I found Abu at home on the couch. When I was showing the pictures to my sister in law, I was like, abu, do you see Abu? Like it's going back through. I mean, because you're so overwhelmed when you first board and you're looking at all these things and they're telling you the details on these tours and you're getting the background. It's those little details that you're not catching as you're being. I mean, we were being led at a record pace. We boarded these staterooms, this area. We were on the clock. So it's now when we're home putting together media and looking at the pictures that I'm finding more details. Yeah, she's stunning. [00:16:55] Speaker D: Go back and look at everything. You're right. [00:16:56] Speaker C: Go back through. I'm telling you. [00:17:00] Speaker B: So this brings up, every time I. [00:17:01] Speaker D: Make a new reel, I'm seeing new things. [00:17:03] Speaker C: Right. [00:17:04] Speaker B: I love that. So kind of like what Brooke said. And I'm just going to emphasize a little bit further, like this is why it's important for our listeners to pay attention and listen to this episode. Because there are all these details and it's very overwhelming. A brand new ship with all these new things, that even though you have a similar layout, brand new theming details, et cetera, that honestly, when you go, you're overwhelmed with emotion and it's easy to overlook a lot of these things. So again, I just want to emphasize that this is a really important episode. Not just because it's a sneak peek into a ship that no one's been on, but also because if you're looking to travel and go on a Disney cruise, specifically the Disney Treasure, this is going to be a great, insightful episode for you to plan to prepare so that you can take advantage and look at all those details. Disney is not shy when it comes to artwork and just art in general. Whether it's the carpet, the chandelier, the same. It's insane. [00:18:13] Speaker C: It was just insane. It was every level. [00:18:15] Speaker D: We went up the stairs. There was something stunning. [00:18:18] Speaker C: So. [00:18:21] Speaker B: On that note, tell us what your first impressions were when you did board. Give us more of this insanity, Laura. [00:18:28] Speaker C: Oh, well, first of all, she's brand spanking new. And as we were, my heart was racing, and we were behind a very slow group of people, and I just wanted to get up, and I was videotaping it, and I'm like, why aren't we moving? Why aren't we moving? It was like, the moment I'd been waiting a month for. Like, it was like, I just want a ship. [00:18:51] Speaker A: That's when you need the power paddle. [00:18:54] Speaker C: I really did need my paddle power. I was like, we could. I looked at Sarah, and we weren't even close. We were still walking because when you board in New York, it's a different kind of style. Gangway. It doesn't go straight. It kind of loops. I looked at her and went, I can smell the ship from here. Like, it just was, like, so new that you could just smell the Disney ship. And we weren't even halfway to the. To the opening. And I'm like, that's perfection right there. Like, I feel the tears just from smelling the Disney ship. And they sent us home with it. So I'm. It's in my office. Mine's upstairs. Yeah, I'm sitting here like, yeah, smell. When you walked into the Grand Hall, I mean, they were doing some filming, so we were not allowed. They kind of pushed us off to the side, but the minute I stepped on board, for me, it was the difference in. It was the same grand hall as the Disney Wish, but it was so different. It was remarkably different. Same size, but because of the way it just was. So I can't even put it into words. It was stunning. The colors were stunning. For something that was exactly the same in size, shape, same steps, it was so much more detailed than the Disney Wish, and it literally took my breath away. I had to stand. Even though they were trying to push us to the side and wrangle us down a different hallway. I just couldn't stop staring. I don't know how Sarah felt, but for me, it was that moment where I just. I had tears in my eyes, and I Didn't want to move. And I was just getting annoyed that they wanted to push me so quickly through. And they said, we're going to come back. We're going to come back. And I was like, fine. But my first impression of her was, this is so completely different. They had time to build this ship. They had what they needed. This wasn't a delay. This was a fully completed ship. And you felt that difference right away. That was me. I throw it to Sarah. [00:21:08] Speaker D: I completely agree with you. It was exactly that. It was overwhelming walking in. It was brand new. The colors just were just so stunning, and everything was just so unbelievably detailed. So like you said, you had to go back to look at the carpet. I was still just so overwhelmed taking it all in. And it was a great first impression. [00:21:32] Speaker B: So other than theming, is there anything, something, a feeling of it being different than her sister ship, the Wish? [00:21:44] Speaker C: I think she. They did some changes. They did. I don't want to give away for people who will board her and see her. I think Disney listened. I think what people were missing in the atrium now called the grand hall, maybe their favorite bar that people complained was gone now be back in a different form, but might be there now. I think they did listen to people. I think this adventure theming is not a girly ship anymore. You know, it's not princess themed. You're not being given a wand. No wishes do come true. You know, it's a total. The theme itself makes the treasure her own ship. It's definitely a different ship. It's going to sail seven nights. It's definitely a totally different feel than that wish. I think people will feel it right away. [00:22:38] Speaker B: Sarah, do you agree or do you have something else? [00:22:41] Speaker D: Oh, no, I absolutely agree with Laura. Nope, I'm with her. [00:22:44] Speaker B: I love comparing, and I don't mean this in a bad way, but I have clients with children of all ages and with different interests. And I have some that aren't into the princess theme. And it's not because they don't love Disney, but they don't want to be surrounded by that the entire, you know, trip. So, you know, the fact that that's something that stood out to you, you pointed out because of the feeling, I think that's fantastic. I really think that that's, you know, as you said, Disney listening and evolving with each ship, which just makes me more excited for the ones to come because the attention to detail, the improvements, you know, they're not subtle. So on that note, okay, so let's talk Staterooms. You guys had the wonderful, wonderful opportunity to visit not one, not two, not three, but pretty much all the different state rooms available on the ship. Do you mind diving in, letting us know what are the different types of staterooms, the theming and the different features that you now get to experience if you sail on the Disney Treasure? Please. [00:24:02] Speaker C: I will tell you that the staterooms are just. They're the same as the Disney wish, just revamped in theming. They will look the same to you. Except now we have different characters again. Gone with the princesses, in with the Aladdin theme or Encanto theme. What other themes did we see? Concierge had Lion King theme. [00:24:26] Speaker D: Yeah. Simba was on the carpet. [00:24:28] Speaker C: Simba was on the carpet. Concierge. The concierge lounge was Star wars. This time. It's pretty, pretty cool. And I had friends who let us in there. That wasn't part of the tour at all. [00:24:45] Speaker A: Of course you have your friends. [00:24:47] Speaker B: Leave it to the queen. [00:24:49] Speaker C: Ask Sarah how many. Laura. [00:24:52] Speaker D: It was great. [00:24:53] Speaker C: It was awesome. [00:24:54] Speaker D: It was great. [00:24:55] Speaker C: So I did get that look into the concierge area off tour. We might have lost our tour group at one point. Oops. [00:25:03] Speaker D: There was some running. [00:25:05] Speaker C: There was some running and some. Where did our group go? We had no idea. We found them. It's okay. We snuck back in. I was like, happened. And I said that on this podcast. Busted. [00:25:19] Speaker A: We didn't say names. [00:25:20] Speaker C: So back to the staterooms. So staterooms, Staterooms. They are the same setup. So you do the inside. Standard inside. Which means they only have one bathroom. There aren't that many of them. You have your deluxe family Oceanview. We saw those with the big seated portholes. They had one set for. We saw two different ones. One was set for daytime, one was set for nighttime so that we could see the bunks down. Very helpful. It helps us tell you what they look like and take pictures. We saw the deluxe family oceanview veranda set for day and for night. And they even showed us. The one we saw was the bump out, you know, where the ship kind of turns around. So the veranda had a little extension to it. It was a lovely size. So we saw that. So you might want to bump out pro tip. We saw a regular concierge deluxe family ocean view with veranda. We saw one bedroom. [00:26:23] Speaker D: Right. [00:26:23] Speaker C: With veranda. We saw the two story Raja suite. And we saw the funnel. Sweet. And I will throw it to Sarah because I think that was her favorite. [00:26:40] Speaker D: Okay. That and Raja. I don't know which one. I mean, if you have to pull me into one of them. I'll go either. [00:26:45] Speaker B: So please, when you do talk about them, explain what these actual staterooms entail, what makes them different. Just so sometimes I know. [00:26:54] Speaker C: So I'll go over the regular ones and I will let you talk about the two. You just. She was ooh, ah. I will let her. [00:27:02] Speaker D: You can't. I stopped like, I'm like, be quiet. I just kept. I was overwhelmed by it. [00:27:08] Speaker C: So you're inside staterooms. They are your smallest. No exterior windows. No. No view inside. Great for somebody who's not worried about where they lay their head. Budget oriented, they do sleep up to four guests. Queen size bed, couch bunk, one bathroom. Then you can do the ocean view, which is a large porthole. Queen size bed, couch bunk. They all have mini fridges or coolers as they're called. There's plenty of storage space in your closets. These staterooms do have the split bath, a Disney exclusive where you have a sink and toilet in one and a sink and shower in the other. Built for families so they can get ready together in the same stateroom. Plenty of storage for your suitcases under the bed. We get that question a lot. How many suitcases can I bring and where does it fit? All under the queen size bed. Places for your clothing, storage for, you know, racks for whatever you're storing with you in the dressers. The dresser colors are much lighter. The furniture in the room is much lighter on the treasure than on the Wish. They change that color. Veranda rooms, you have a nice balcony, same bedding configuration. The stateroom's a little larger if you have that fifth sleeper. The bed is a Murphy bed by the veranda door that the stateroom host will pull down. And you have the bunks as well. Same for that configuration in concierge. The stateroom is just a little bigger in concierge and a little more frou frouy. And you have access to the concierge lounge. That's my quick. What comes in your stateroom? I'm going to now let Sarah oo and ah over the mega staterooms on board that sleep six to eight. [00:29:03] Speaker D: So, okay, my first one, the tomorrow tower suite, that was just meticulous. It four bedrooms. What I thought was interesting about this one. So there are a couple things. Upstairs there were three bedrooms that had a beautiful spiral staircase to get upstairs, a gorgeous chandelier in the center. You have the that living room, but they had three bedrooms upstairs. Two story spiral staircase that would take you upstairs to three of the bedrooms. All Ensuite bathrooms that were just beautiful. Then also downstairs there's a handicap accessible room which I thought was really a fantastic addition to that first floor. They were showing us how that worked to get in and out of that specific room. And the bathroom, it was beautifully done. A gorgeous kitchen. That one slept eight. Pretty sure that was up to eight. And then we went on to the Raja two story suite that just as stunning. Upstairs was one of the bedrooms that had a beautiful walk in closet that led to this bathroom with floor to ceiling windows. Just an amazing view. Downstairs also had a very high ceilinged beautiful living room kitchen. One of my favorite parts of this one was that veranda that has its own private hut. It was beautiful. So yep. And then you've got your second bedroom downstairs and that ensuite bathroom, another beautiful bathroom there. [00:30:32] Speaker C: And the thing about the veranda of these two story suites is there's one on each side of the forward on deck 13. They actually surround the concierge pool deck. So your veranda you can walk, open a door and go to the concierge pool deck and lounge and then go back to your private hot tub. [00:30:56] Speaker B: Winner for me can't get more luxurious than that. [00:30:59] Speaker C: Like no problem. And when we talk refrigerator, we're talking full refrigerator. And to know what both these suites, they will bring palo to you and serve it to you or enchante because you have a table. There would be no reason to leave these suites at all. I would not need to leave these suites. [00:31:22] Speaker B: That's incredible. [00:31:23] Speaker C: Now I have to say the downside for me to the tower suite is not having a veranda. You do have. [00:31:31] Speaker D: That's why exactly like Raja better probably. [00:31:34] Speaker C: You do have those beautiful. I mean you're in the funnel. So you have these beautiful floor to ceiling windows and it's beautiful. But I kind of need my veranda. I don't know. [00:31:48] Speaker D: I agree with you on that one. [00:31:50] Speaker B: That's crazy. Oh my God. [00:31:51] Speaker C: I'm going Rajville all the way. [00:31:54] Speaker D: Okay, good, I'll share it with you. [00:31:56] Speaker C: So Raja tj Raja. But the attention to detail, I mean they have these. What do you even a drape of Raja Florida ceiling. [00:32:09] Speaker A: Like is it like a tapestry in your living room? [00:32:12] Speaker C: Yeah, a gigantic tapestry. [00:32:15] Speaker A: That's incredible. [00:32:16] Speaker C: It's incredible. [00:32:17] Speaker B: So what other details? Because that's the thing. It's like when they're called the Raja or the Tomorrow Tower. It's not just because that's the name or there's no apistry. There's a lot of artwork and details. Do you mind going into that just a little bit, please? [00:32:36] Speaker C: So in the tower suite, which is Epcot themed, I mean, you're. Let's start at the door plate. It's the Epcot ball, right. With the room number. You walk in and you feel like you've walked into kind of Epcot itself. You have a statue of figment. It looks like you're inside the book. [00:33:01] Speaker A: I love figment. [00:33:02] Speaker C: I know you do. And I'll send you the picture. I took one. The lamps are like the Epcot ball. There's pictures that look like Epcot. Pictures of Epcot. Like, help me out here. I mean, there's so many details. My brain is like seeking the bunk bedroom. [00:33:19] Speaker D: Did you remember the bunk bedroom? How the ceiling. Oh, you're Brooks. You're gonna kill this one. The ceiling was all stars, but in the shape of figment. [00:33:28] Speaker C: Yeah, they like. [00:33:29] Speaker D: It was on the ceiling of the kids bunk bedroom. It was. I have the best picture of that one. [00:33:36] Speaker C: We gotta send these out to Brooks. Cause he loves figment. There were just pictures of Epcot. You just. It felt like Epcot. You just. The colors, the. Just the decorations. The chandelier over the table. Chandelier looked like it, you know, like the squares on the ball itself, they were like crystal ones. When you say themed like Epcot, you felt like you were in a big Epcot room. [00:34:02] Speaker D: But it was so luxurious. It wasn't like I was walking into a theme. It was just so luxurious. Yeah, it was classy and beautiful. [00:34:12] Speaker B: I'm in awe. And I haven't seen it. [00:34:15] Speaker C: And when you went into the Rajah, I think. Think Aladdin Raja, that type of theming. The colors. [00:34:22] Speaker A: Agrabah. [00:34:24] Speaker D: They were Agrabah. [00:34:27] Speaker C: It was in the decor. [00:34:30] Speaker B: This. I know exactly what you mean with this. [00:34:34] Speaker C: It's nods to that. And the tapestry of Raja made it. Raja. But it was the coloring and the chandeliers and every little piece of detail. I have to go through the pictures. I want to say there was a. [00:34:50] Speaker D: Statue out or were you thinking version of the ball? [00:34:55] Speaker C: Yeah, the detail, it's just. It's not in your face. It's little. [00:35:01] Speaker A: Probably it's one of those that you could tour it 20 times and catch a little something each time. [00:35:07] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:35:08] Speaker C: I mean, remember, this is a Disney. These are top of the expense. So they're not, you know, this is a signature experience. They're not going to make it. [00:35:19] Speaker B: This is a spare, no expense type room. [00:35:22] Speaker A: Yep. [00:35:22] Speaker C: Right. And they're. I can't imagine they're going to make them hokey. Or they're not going to want you to feel like you just walked into, I don't know, I want to say a competitor's thing. You don't walk into a neon blinking room for $40,000. [00:35:43] Speaker A: So there's no heart shaped bed or anything? [00:35:46] Speaker C: No. Couldn't find one. Or champagne glass hot tub? No. Sorry. [00:35:51] Speaker B: Brooks, do you have any comments to say about this? You guys did a fantastic job explaining it. [00:35:56] Speaker C: Honestly, I wish we had pictures because it's easier to do the job. [00:36:02] Speaker A: I almost just want to just sit here and close my eyes and just have y'all just paint a picture. [00:36:10] Speaker C: Pigment star. [00:36:11] Speaker B: Wow. [00:36:12] Speaker A: I mean, it's. Yeah, I mean it's. It's just incredible. And the fact that too like those two, you know, y'all called a mega staterooms, the fact that there's that much difference between the two. And then also the fact that even though the tomorrow doesn't offer a veranda, but it offers different views and different amenities. And to make up for that lack of veranda. But then, you know, it's not like they just took a cookie cutter and. Okay, now we have this one that is pretty much the same, but it has a veranda. It's like, no, we're going to totally. You were transported to Epcot in this one. Now you're transported over here to Agrabah. And yep, you know, you're greeted by Raja, who obviously must like you because she's allowing you into her room and she is gorgeous. Just stunning. [00:37:13] Speaker C: Like stunning. Stunning, stunning. [00:37:19] Speaker B: I'm trying to find what Raya's land is called. You're trying Kumandra. The land of Kumandra. Yeah. So that's where we were transferred to Kumandra. [00:37:33] Speaker C: Kumandra. [00:37:34] Speaker B: That sounds just as eloquent as Agrabah. [00:37:38] Speaker C: I thought it was Agrabah, but I guess not. Kumandra. [00:37:41] Speaker B: Kumandra. [00:37:42] Speaker A: So is it Rhea or is it Raja? [00:37:45] Speaker C: I thought it was Raja. R A J. Rhea. [00:37:50] Speaker A: Is that one's from the last dragon? [00:37:53] Speaker C: No, this is Raja. Okay, I gotta look at the picture. [00:37:56] Speaker D: I know. [00:37:57] Speaker C: Now I'm second guessing myself. I hate second guessing myself. [00:38:01] Speaker B: But I thought it was Raya, the last dragon. R A J A H. That's the. [00:38:06] Speaker D: First time I've seen that we could. [00:38:08] Speaker A: Spend this whole time on the state rooms. [00:38:10] Speaker B: Okay, so Raja is the tiger from the lattice. [00:38:15] Speaker C: Yes. [00:38:15] Speaker B: So it is Agrabah. I'm here. I'm thinking Raya, the last dragon. [00:38:19] Speaker C: You're thinking the Last Dragon. And is that even Disney? [00:38:23] Speaker A: Yeah, it is. [00:38:24] Speaker B: Yes, it is. Because it also has like those, like blues and the purples, like similar colors from Aladdin. Wow. Agrabah. Now I'm getting full circle. Now I'm no longer confused. Yep. [00:38:38] Speaker C: Raj, I can't have confused because Raya. [00:38:43] Speaker A: Will eventually, I think, make it on one to cruises. [00:38:45] Speaker B: You know, honestly, now that we have manifested this idea, I wouldn't be surprised if it comes out on one of these newer ships because it does have similar. [00:38:56] Speaker C: That is the chandelier over the table in Epcot. The Epcot suite thingy. [00:39:03] Speaker A: That is incredible there. [00:39:05] Speaker C: It's. The pictures don't do it justice. [00:39:11] Speaker B: Hopefully go live at some of these. [00:39:14] Speaker C: Locations on ship, hoping they let us back in. It's rare that you get a tour of the Epcot, the towers, funnels. Yeah. Okay, so, okay, where are we moving now? We digressed. [00:39:28] Speaker B: No, no, there's no digression. This is like overwhelming and beautiful and chaotic all at the same time. What about dying experiences? Were you guys able to experience any of that while you were on ship? [00:39:40] Speaker C: So interesting that you asked that question because we ate lunch in Marvel. [00:39:46] Speaker D: I have no idea, Mia. [00:39:47] Speaker C: That's where we all got funneled to eat in the Marvel restaurant. And we were given the menu. And the menu had offerings from all the restaurants. So now that was really hard for me because it had my favorites from 1923. And I was like, should I have the steak or should I try something new from the new Cocoa restaurant? Which is where everybody thinks of Arendelle on the Wish. It's now Coco. Or should I have something that I normally would get at Marvel? It was so hard to choose. And I went with my 1923 steak. I just had to do it. I don't know what Sarah had, but we got a sample of every appetizer. So it was an appetizer sampling and a dessert sampling, and then we just had to pick the main dish. So we did get to experience all the restaurants, even though we were sitting in Marvel. But I think the reason they let us sit in Marvel is that perhaps we got a sneak peek of the new Marvel experience. [00:40:56] Speaker B: You're making me so hungry. So did you. Did you feel like the menus differentiated? I mean. Okay, so let me have you finish, and then I'm actually gonna ask my question. [00:41:05] Speaker C: Okay. So the new Marvel is not the same show that you'd see on the Wish. It's the same concept. You have the screens, but it's a seven night cruise. So there's two different shows. So I think they showed us one of the shows. So it was Guardians of the galaxy. It was very cute. And the wait staff was practicing their dance moves, which was fun to watch because they looked a little like, oh, there's really people here now. You know, we were cheering them on as they were practicing, you know, doing their little preview thing. They were cute. And then they brought us to after we finished tours, they brought us into Cocoa to see the restaurant and we got a preview of what that show was going to look like, which was super cool and exciting. I'm happy to report they still have a live violinist. [00:41:56] Speaker B: Awesome. [00:41:57] Speaker C: Another job I need to steal. And again, because it's a seven night cruise, these shows change. [00:42:05] Speaker B: Right? [00:42:06] Speaker C: Because you're in these restaurants at least twice on the Wish. You get the same show because you're. [00:42:13] Speaker B: In the restaurant three or four nights. [00:42:14] Speaker C: Right. So because it's a seven night cruise, they were saying they had to come up with two shows in the Cocoa restaurant. [00:42:21] Speaker B: That's good to know. That is good to know. [00:42:23] Speaker C: Yeah, it's nice. And we saw part of one. They just gave us a sample song and it was done really well. It's something to be excited about. [00:42:31] Speaker B: So on the treasure you have repeating. I could call it that. Fan favorites, which is 1928. Did you know? I'm sorry, 1923. Why always say 28? 1923. Any menu changes that you notice or not really because you were kind of only given like I didn't see the. [00:42:50] Speaker C: Full menu, so I'm not sure. But because it's seven nights, I have a feeling will see two different menus anyway for that restaurant. Kind of like we do on the fantasy, they have a second menu when you eat in the Royal Court. So I think we'll see two menus. [00:43:08] Speaker B: Fantastic. So you got that one. You got Marvel, which has a different characters on this one and a different storyline. And then did you see any characters on the Marvel one by any chance or. [00:43:21] Speaker C: No, there will be characters. We didn't see any. [00:43:25] Speaker B: Okay. There will be characters. [00:43:27] Speaker C: They didn't say who or did they say who? No, they didn't say who. [00:43:33] Speaker B: Okay. [00:43:34] Speaker C: But there will be. [00:43:34] Speaker B: And then Coco is the third. And then you have your adults only, if still Paolo and Ashanti. Okay. So in theory, the only two big changes would be Coco and Marvel. In theory. Okay. It's still delicious food with top notch dining. Mouth watering. I mean, the food is so good on this. [00:43:59] Speaker C: I can't wait. [00:44:00] Speaker B: Yes. Right. Okay, so those are the new dining options that guests can look forward to. What about quick service, coffee spots, that kind of thing. Snacks if you Will. [00:44:12] Speaker C: So Cove Cafe is still. The actual Cove Cafe is still on aft and the quiet Cove for adults only. Then you have deck four and five. They upped it a notch from what it is on the Wish. So you have. Your coffee bar is still on deck four and five. Midship. The decor is amazing. And my Moana tattoo is on the wall. I kid you not. I'm like, that's my tattoo. [00:44:39] Speaker B: That's amazing. [00:44:41] Speaker C: Like, legit. It's my tattoo. I feel like that's my tattoo on the wall. [00:44:46] Speaker B: Did you get a picture? [00:44:48] Speaker C: I did. [00:44:48] Speaker B: Showing. [00:44:49] Speaker C: Well, I was in biz Cash, but I took the pictures. Next time I'm going to go look on the maid and not the preview on the maid and I'm going to get a picture with. [00:45:01] Speaker B: I love that. [00:45:02] Speaker C: But it. Very excited. So, yeah, they really did the decorations. Totally different, but it's the same concept. You can get coffee there as well. [00:45:10] Speaker B: What about the buffet? [00:45:12] Speaker C: Marceline Market hasn't changed. And the tacos are back. The barbecue is back. They didn't change that at all. [00:45:22] Speaker B: How many ice cream machines are there on this ship? Do you know? Trick question. [00:45:27] Speaker C: 2, 3, 4, 6. It's the same as the Wish. [00:45:32] Speaker B: I honestly did not know how many there were on the Wish, so I'm glad you told me. [00:45:36] Speaker C: So you were serving us ice cream. [00:45:38] Speaker B: You know, that was a personal question, but I hope someone took note of that from our audience. [00:45:44] Speaker C: Six. [00:45:45] Speaker B: Oh, that's awesome. You guys got free ice cream too, on that preview. That's awesome. [00:45:49] Speaker C: We got. We got treats. We got ice cream. If I had known they had coffee out there and those drink stations were open, I would have had more coffee than I did that day. I was so tired. We were running back and forth. It was. It was run, run, run, run, run, run. Especially when we lost our team. Whoops. [00:46:12] Speaker B: Oh, my goodness. Let's see. All right, so that pretty much covers dining. Unless you think that there's anything else that stood out to you as far as those. You know, where that's concerned. [00:46:23] Speaker C: I think the only major difference we're going to see is that there'll be. Because there's more nights. We'll see different menus. That's going to be the big difference between Wish and Treasure. I think that's the only difference. [00:46:35] Speaker B: So why don't we talk a little bit about bars now? [00:46:37] Speaker C: Thought you never asked. [00:46:39] Speaker B: Okay, start. Let's start off with what was your favorite one? And then we'll go into, like, all the details and special stuff that they might be offering and the theming and all that fun stuff. [00:46:49] Speaker C: Well, do you want to know what stayed the same? Because a lot of people. Okay, what stayed the same? What we didn't need to go run around and see were your staples. The rose up in the adult dining palo. Enchante. The rose is still the rose, except the rose is now gold, not red. But it's the rose. The Currants bar, all the bars around the pool areas. No different. So what changed your main, you know, club areas. So the Periscope bar is now where, you know, where Keg and Compass was. The Bayou is now Skipper Canteen. Haunted Mansion Lounge is where Hyperspace is. I know everybody wants to talk about that one. And then what is going to be my favorite is Scat Cat, which is Nightingales, which happens to be my favorite on the Wish. And yeah, my bartender Sam is. [00:47:49] Speaker B: I love that. [00:47:50] Speaker C: And it's not that I'm not going to love Haunted Mansion. I think that's going to be fun. I also think it's going to be very crowded. I think my vibe is Scat Cat. Piano singing. Yeah, good drink. [00:48:05] Speaker B: I'll be honest, when I was on the Wish, I love Star Wars. Huge Star wars fan. Walked in, walked out. I probably spent all my evenings at Nightingale. [00:48:15] Speaker C: Happily, happily. [00:48:16] Speaker B: And I will close the place down. I'm same. [00:48:21] Speaker C: That's my bar now. [00:48:23] Speaker A: And you will the Scat Cat have a little like Aristocats nods to it. Okay. [00:48:29] Speaker C: It's exactly what it is. It is an Aristocats nod. [00:48:33] Speaker B: And there is a Malose Ears blog on the little details that you'll find at Scat Cat. You go in there and check out some of the blogs in regards to the treasure because there are quite a few. [00:48:46] Speaker C: There are some they listened I think because Nightingales became such a popular spot because it is the one bar that a child can't go to at any time of day. Other bar areas are shared until 9pm Nightingales the rose children off limits And I think that they didn't expect Nightingales to be so popular. It's not that the space is any bigger. They didn't make any adjustments to size. They relocated the bar and opened up where the bar is in Nightingales. They put it where the glass doors in Nightingales are. They're never used. So where the glass doors are, that's where the bar is. But in the grand hall that's where the bar is. So it's like a kind of total bar outside and inside. And now there are booths by all the portholes where the bar used to Be. So it really opened up the space. I think people are going to be much happier with that. [00:49:51] Speaker B: That's awesome. [00:49:51] Speaker C: Bigger entrance, no more useless glass doors nobody uses. And a bar and a $130 drink. [00:50:01] Speaker D: Fantastic. $130 drink. [00:50:02] Speaker C: Didn't know it was $130. Sam had samples and I thought he was kidding because all the sample drinks that we had had no alcohol in it. So I get into the bar and he's like, have a drink. I'm like, aha. Funny. What kind of mocktail is this? He goes, no, it's a real drink. I said, get out. Of course, Sam, get. How many did I have? I don't know. I was like, this is going to be my drink. And it comes with a glass and it's an etched. It's a cat at the bottom staring at you. [00:50:34] Speaker B: That's not creepy. [00:50:34] Speaker C: No, but it's gorgeous. It's an etched glass. [00:50:38] Speaker B: No, that is really cool. [00:50:40] Speaker C: We got off the ship or we were disembarking the ship and I said, this is going to be my drink of choice. Sarah zoomed in on the menu and she goes, yeah, it's going to be 130. I went, what? [00:50:51] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [00:50:52] Speaker A: Like, hey, Sam, you're in trouble. [00:50:53] Speaker C: I was like, sam, we're going to come home with a lot of glasses. It's so good. [00:51:01] Speaker D: So it was good. [00:51:02] Speaker B: Would you say that that's your favorite, the Scat Cat Lounge? [00:51:06] Speaker C: Mm. I don't get me wrong, I think the Haunted Mansion Lounge is amazing. I loved it. I thought it was great. I just don't see that being an every night. I'm sitting and I'm relaxing. [00:51:19] Speaker D: It's not a relaxing kind of bar. [00:51:21] Speaker B: Well, you also don't have live music in that bar or lounge area like you do. [00:51:28] Speaker C: It's very cool. I'm not saying I'm not gonna go in there every night. I mean, I'll go in, I'll have a drink. I mean, it's cool. The drinks are cool. [00:51:36] Speaker D: But yeah, they were cool. [00:51:37] Speaker C: Close out that bar. I'm going to, you know, I'm going to go sit in Scat Cat and. [00:51:43] Speaker D: Listen to the piano player. [00:51:45] Speaker C: That was. [00:51:46] Speaker D: That was the great. [00:51:46] Speaker B: I've seen a violinist in there, piano. I mean, there's some fantastic. [00:51:51] Speaker C: They really do bring in great live entertainment in there and I really do enjoy that. [00:51:57] Speaker B: Me too. [00:51:58] Speaker C: Yeah, that's going to be my place. And maybe I'll like the Skipper's Canteen. And Lewis is a bartender there. [00:52:04] Speaker B: Very, very excited for Skipper Canteen. I'd say behind Scat Cow, that obviously Haunted Mansion, just for the theming, because who doesn't love that? But Skipper Cantina is right there. Like that's they have good martinis and a good waffle. I'll switch. [00:52:20] Speaker C: Sweet. [00:52:21] Speaker D: I was like, sugar, but so good. [00:52:24] Speaker B: So, Sarah, what was your favorite bar slash lounge from what you experienced? And is there a favorite drink perhaps? [00:52:33] Speaker D: Well, I definitely liked Sam's drink. That drink in Stat Cat is so good. I. [00:52:37] Speaker B: Wait, time out. [00:52:38] Speaker D: Yes. [00:52:39] Speaker B: What is in this drink now that we've talked about it so much and how good it is. [00:52:42] Speaker D: So I've watched him talk about it a million times and I can never remember washing, but I can't remember what alcohols it was. But the whole milkwashing process, I've watched that trying to figure out exactly what it meant. [00:52:56] Speaker C: It is some sort of bourbon and I don't even like bourbon. It is so good. And when he said that, after I drank it, I was like, no way. Because I don't drink bourbon. [00:53:06] Speaker D: Yeah, I don't either. [00:53:07] Speaker C: I was like, I drink bourbon now. [00:53:09] Speaker D: Hey, that was good. [00:53:11] Speaker C: It was really good. [00:53:13] Speaker D: Angel Envy. Amaro Montenegro. Amaro Montenegro. Aperol Lemon in the cat glass. [00:53:21] Speaker B: If I were to read that and not try it, I wouldn't steer clear of that. [00:53:25] Speaker C: I'll be ordering one on the boarding night and you can taste it. I'm coming home with a glass. Thank you. [00:53:34] Speaker D: I seriously never would have tried it reading that, but it was so darn good. [00:53:39] Speaker B: So, okay, that's your favorite drink. Now let's talk about your favorite. [00:53:44] Speaker D: I mean, I had to toss it up, but I can't even say that because I think about. I loved Haunted Mansion. I love Scat Cat. I love the Periscope Pub. There were some interesting details on the side that like, hidden lots of Easter eggs about like the numbers. Like the numbers represented each of the ships. Just so much. So much detail in there as well. But I think I agree with Laura. I'll sit in Scat Cat night after night. I'll visit Haunted Mansion because it is so cool. And maybe sit in two different. Two or three different spots so I can catch more stuff. But I do have a hard time picking exactly which one. I'll say that one was my favorite because there were so many great things about each. Each pub we went to. Wishy Washington. [00:54:26] Speaker B: I mean, I'm not surprised, honestly. How can you choose when there's so many great offerings anyways, right? [00:54:34] Speaker C: Periscope for a beer drinker. Periscope. If you're like a beer drinker. Periscope is your place. All the taps are there. It's your sports bar. They did change it a little bit. The bar is round. It gives you more space. Again, they went with more space. They cut the bar down to give more space because the complaint where the bars were too small. So they did do that. You feel like you're underwater. You could see fish swimming over your head. [00:55:05] Speaker D: The shark. [00:55:06] Speaker C: That was cool. [00:55:06] Speaker D: On the ceiling. That part was cool too. [00:55:09] Speaker C: I mean, I'm not opposed to sitting there. [00:55:13] Speaker D: Yeah. [00:55:14] Speaker C: One night, you know, chill out. You're a beer drinker. I'll go back there with my Cat's Meow. [00:55:23] Speaker D: Is that what it's called? [00:55:24] Speaker C: Yeah, the Cat's Meow, I think. [00:55:26] Speaker D: I don't know why I'd never looked in the name. [00:55:28] Speaker C: See, I just called it Sam's Drink, but it is called the Cat's Meow. But I'll go sit in that. In that Periscope pub because it is super cool. I'm not a beer drinker, so that wouldn't be my first pub of choice. [00:55:43] Speaker B: I still absolutely love that they. They came out with an area, a venue for such a classic movie. I mean, I never would have expected it, but it makes so much sense to have something like that on a ship. And it's just. It's like an underrated movie, only because it's such an older movie. [00:56:03] Speaker C: Nobody talks about Princess. [00:56:05] Speaker B: Yeah, it's not Princess, but I think that's the difference. [00:56:08] Speaker C: They said, you know what? We'll make a voice ship. And they started pulling adventure. What's cooler than a submarine? [00:56:20] Speaker D: Yeah, I love. [00:56:21] Speaker B: You know, they have like the mic. The. [00:56:23] Speaker C: Yeah. [00:56:24] Speaker B: What is that thing? [00:56:25] Speaker C: What is that called? [00:56:26] Speaker B: It's not a telescope, is it? Periscope, Duh. Yes. [00:56:34] Speaker D: But, yeah, the ceiling. I forgot about that ceiling. That was super difference. Yeah. [00:56:40] Speaker B: Again, Disney does immersiveness, right? [00:56:43] Speaker D: Yes. [00:56:46] Speaker B: You're able to feel that immersion, but in completely different locations. I mean, you have how many different storylines and you get to experience all of them. It's incredible. It's incredible. [00:57:01] Speaker C: You don't feel like they meld them. Like the carpets change and boom, you're here and the carpet changes and boom, you're here. It just is a gentle. You're pulled gently into a different area and a different theme. Although I will say we started in the forward of the ship and with this wish class of ships, they do different colors so that you know when you're in the forward and when you're in the aft and oh, we started in the aft, and when they brought us to the forward to bring us to concierge, we walked in, and I was like, whoa. Like, the carpet was this beautiful. We went from blues and purples to this burnt orange red carpet with the Cave of wonders guy in blue. Like, it was. You just went from purple blue butterfly to cave of Wonders. I was like, oh, my God, the carpet's red. [00:58:02] Speaker B: Yeah. [00:58:03] Speaker C: What? Unbelievable. [00:58:05] Speaker B: All right, so we've talked about food, we talked about drinks. Let's move into entertainment. I mean, I know everything on the Disney Cruise line is entertaining, but what are the big entertainment reveals? Did you find out what all the shows are? [00:58:19] Speaker D: We did get a preview of Moana. We got to see that first act of it, and I think I cried. I was thinking I did. I was. [00:58:30] Speaker C: I think the theater ugly cried at the same time. All I have to say is, first, before we got to see it, the person who created the show came out and spoke to us. And then the man who did all the dialect for the show to make sure that the dialect was correct came out. This show had been in the work for years for, like, two years. And apparently this cast has been doing this show together for two years. And we were the first people, the first audience they ever had. Yeah, like, they had been practicing this off ship. This was the first time that they were ever going to do this on ship for anybody. We were, like, the first to see it. We were in a lot. They said our cameras had to go away once the speakers stopped speaking. Like, there was going to be no spoilers. Our phones had to disappear. And he did a chant, this guy with the dialect. We were all like, what was that? It was a chant to wish them luck or something like that. We were like, what just happened in Hawaiian or whatever their. Whatever their dialect is that they use in the movies. And I cried during that. And then, boom, they come out and be. And they were hyped. Of course. It's live theater. It's their first time. So there's a mistake. Not a mistake, but something didn't work. So the show had to come to a halt. And the woman playing Grandma. Grandma was. I'm not giving anything. [01:00:04] Speaker B: Grandma. [01:00:04] Speaker D: She was so funny. [01:00:06] Speaker C: She was so great. It was like she stepped out of the movie. [01:00:11] Speaker B: Wow. [01:00:13] Speaker C: So when the show picked up from where it left off, they kind of went back in time. And she went with that. And she goes, so I'm going to say this. I said this, and now I'm here. And she said that. [01:00:23] Speaker D: Amazing. [01:00:25] Speaker C: She just picked it up. And I think when they got to the finale of the first act, there wasn't a sound. There was no one in the theater who took a breath. [01:00:36] Speaker D: Like, we were just, like, went like this and grabbed each other because we were overwhelmed by that coming at. Oh, my God, it was so good. [01:00:44] Speaker B: Sarah, I'm just thinking about your theater. Your theater heart must have exploded with this one. [01:00:50] Speaker C: We were holding each other. Like, I kept. I was like, one dance number was better than the other dance number one. [01:00:58] Speaker D: It was amazing. It was beautifully done. And the voices, I mean, I. I expected it from Disney because I. I've always seen what they do put out. And, you know, I have friends that perform in those shows, but this just went above and beyond. And they were so amazing. The music. [01:01:20] Speaker C: Wait, you can't end it now. And then we were, like, standing up and applauding, and the cast didn't even come out, like, for a. Like, gone. [01:01:36] Speaker B: Like, okay, why I have goosebumps again. I mean, from what you guys are making this sound, the passion is like, if you don't go on this shoot on the ship for anything else, it should be the. [01:01:54] Speaker C: So they are. The show that they made for the Disney wish sees with the Goofy. The one that they do the first night is on the Treasure. They're doing Beauty and the Beast like they do on the Dream, because that's popular. And then this show is specifically for the Treasure. Then the other night, she'll have live entertainment. [01:02:17] Speaker B: Okay, I was going to say, how many shows can guests expect? [01:02:21] Speaker C: So there's three. Broadway style. And then the others will either be. You'll either have, like a magician or a comedian or a ventriloquist, something like that. If there's a big movie release, they'll do it in the main theater. So, like, people who were sailing when Moana was released on the Fantasy. The night it was released, the Fantasy had it in the theater that night. So they use them, you know, on a seven night. They'll use the main theater for big movie releases. [01:02:52] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [01:02:53] Speaker D: You're gonna love it. [01:02:54] Speaker B: That's incredible. [01:02:55] Speaker C: And then we were given the preview of the show in Coco. We got one song. [01:03:03] Speaker B: All I'm hearing is, wear waterproof makeup or mascara or don't. [01:03:08] Speaker C: Don't wear any. I'm telling you, the night you go to Moana, I'm gonna tell you, don't put on makeup. [01:03:13] Speaker B: Oh, my gosh. [01:03:14] Speaker C: And don't wear it to bored. I'm going makeup less. [01:03:18] Speaker B: I will be crying. You don't understand. [01:03:22] Speaker C: No, I do understand, because now I won't have a chaperone telling me. I will be like, who are you talking to? [01:03:32] Speaker B: We'll be holding each other up. It's just. It's gonna happen. [01:03:35] Speaker C: Did you say we weren't touring the concierge lounge? [01:03:38] Speaker B: Leave it to the Queen and dcl, Farzan. [01:03:41] Speaker C: I'm on the way. [01:03:43] Speaker B: So here's another question you may or may not know the answer to. Will there be new or different meet and greets based on the themings that you will get on this ship versus other ships? I mean, obviously we'll get classic Mickey and friends, but can we expect Jasmine and Aladdin, for instance? [01:04:04] Speaker C: On good authority you can expect Jasmine in Aladdin. [01:04:10] Speaker A: I would imagine so. If they. If they have. If they have the Raja Room, I would imagine. [01:04:16] Speaker C: And there are statues. [01:04:18] Speaker A: Yeah. [01:04:19] Speaker B: The whole grand hall. Yeah, yeah. [01:04:21] Speaker D: Is all that. [01:04:22] Speaker C: Yeah, I think in the packages. Yeah. I. I think you can expect to see a couple of those adventure characters kind of come to life. [01:04:31] Speaker B: I'm just gonna say this out there. Don't know if this is a thing for those of you listening, but I think it'd be really cool if while you're at the Skipper Lounge, whatever it's called. What's it called? [01:04:41] Speaker D: Skipper. [01:04:42] Speaker C: Skipper Society. [01:04:44] Speaker B: Right. That's what it was. I want to say Skipper Canteen. Obviously, it's not that. [01:04:49] Speaker C: I think I said it earlier. It just rolls off the tongue because that's a restaurant in Magic Kingdom. [01:04:54] Speaker B: Yes, yes. And it's jungle. Jungle cruise theme. But, yeah, I think it'd be really cool if there's, like, you know how, like, you have streetmosphere, or sometimes you imagine having, like, streetmosphere at Skipper Society where you just have, like, random cast members just, like, dressed in their garb and, like, having these, like, punny conversations with you. I think that'd be epic. And if that's a thing, Laura, that I just pulled out of my imaginative mind and that happens, I think that would be amazing. Thank you. [01:05:29] Speaker C: Who knows? [01:05:30] Speaker B: Wouldn't that be awesome? Seriously? And then someone from the movie comes out. [01:05:36] Speaker C: Waitresses. So, I mean, I don't know what the interaction is gonna be. It wouldn't surprise me, actually, if they did have witty cracks. [01:05:44] Speaker B: I feel like that would fit the theme. I mean, if we can't get punny jokes, you know, Immerse me, baby. Immerse me. [01:05:49] Speaker C: I think we should have punny jokes, actually. [01:05:53] Speaker B: That'd be fun, you know, and the more you drink, the punnier they get. Goodness, I'm bad at Jokes. Okay, so that was actually good. [01:06:05] Speaker D: That was a good one. I liked it. [01:06:06] Speaker B: Thank you. I appreciate it. [01:06:07] Speaker D: I gave you the dun, dun dun. There you go. [01:06:10] Speaker B: Thank you. Thank you. All right, so we talked about entertainment, characters, movie screenings and lounges, themed events. Will you be able to expect things? Things. Themes such as Pirates Night, potentially a Halloween on the high seas or merry Very time. Very merry. You know what I mean? [01:06:31] Speaker C: Not this year. Not in its maiden voyage or, you know, well, after its maiden. The holidays are over. So next year you'll see the themes. I know that, you know, people were expecting it for the maiden, but a ship won't be decorated or. [01:06:49] Speaker B: What about pirate nights? [01:06:50] Speaker C: Pirate night? Yes. Pirate nights are good in the Caribbean. I don't know what kind of pirate night. I don't know if they're going to continue the pirate parlay. I hope so. I like it. I always. I'm out there rocking and rolling, going. I'm glad they're finally entertaining the people who are paying to be, you know, for the kids to be here. I love the rock and parlay. It's 80s music and I got a rock and roll band out there. I think it's great. I hope it's back. I don't know what it's going to be, but there'll be a Pirate Night deck party. Sail away. I don't know if they're going to do. I know. One question was, what's going to happen to Pixar Cruises? Because the fantasy was doing Pixar, so. [01:07:29] Speaker B: That'S to be determined in 2025. [01:07:33] Speaker C: Yeah. I haven't seen the announcement. Can't imagine Pixar on the Treasure, but wow. [01:07:39] Speaker B: All right, so now we're on the deck. Did you guys get to experience? Probably not, but the Aquamouse closed. [01:07:47] Speaker C: It was a little cold, but it was also closed. [01:07:51] Speaker D: Totally would have been. [01:07:52] Speaker C: However, oddly enough, the pools were open and the lifeguards were dressed in their winter coats. But working. I couldn't figure that out. I was like, none of us. None of us were swimming, but they were working, I guess in case any of us fell in the pool because we weren't going, because we weren't really paying attention. [01:08:16] Speaker B: I can totally picture that. [01:08:18] Speaker C: But they were really. [01:08:18] Speaker B: I would definitely walk into something. [01:08:20] Speaker C: They were watching those pools and they were bundled up. It was freezing. [01:08:25] Speaker D: You were so cold. [01:08:28] Speaker C: I was like, oh, my God, you've. [01:08:31] Speaker B: Become a Florida woman. [01:08:33] Speaker D: And I was like, I was fine. [01:08:36] Speaker B: Sundress. [01:08:37] Speaker C: I'm like, you're gonna freeze. [01:08:39] Speaker D: Not here. [01:08:41] Speaker B: All right. So couldn't get a chance to see Aquamouse. I figured as much. But for those of you listening, it is a different storyline on the Disney treasure. Maybe we'll get a chance to see that next or this week. Okay. So were you able to check out any of the kids clubs and their separate areas? [01:09:04] Speaker C: We went down the slide. It's fast. I'm sorry, but that slide is scary. [01:09:10] Speaker D: Awesome. I love that. [01:09:12] Speaker C: So if you've been to the Oceaneers club and lab and nursery on the wish, it's identical on the treasure. Same with the vibe and the edge. They are the same. No shame. [01:09:24] Speaker B: Identical. Okay, good to know. All right, so we've covered a lot. Oh my gosh. [01:09:32] Speaker C: Seriously, we're good at this Rapid fire. [01:09:36] Speaker B: So. Okay, let's talk a little about the itineraries. Itineraries and destination. Do you know what itineraries the Disney treasure will offer? [01:09:44] Speaker C: I do. [01:09:46] Speaker A: For those that are not watching on YouTube, they're just shaking their heads yet. [01:09:50] Speaker D: I'm sorry, Western Caribbean. There you go. [01:09:53] Speaker C: Western Caribbean. It's taking over for the Disney fantasy. So it is the exact same itineraries that the fantasy is doing. And the fantasy is doing her final, I believe, final Western Caribbean right now. No, second to last Eastern Caribbean. Because fantasy is going to go to four night and five night itineraries. [01:10:17] Speaker B: Wow. [01:10:18] Speaker C: Such mixed emotion. [01:10:21] Speaker B: Wow. [01:10:21] Speaker C: It's kind of sad, kind of weird. [01:10:23] Speaker D: To me, but I kind of like it because I can jump back on for a short period of time. [01:10:28] Speaker C: I know. It's just. I don't know. I was on the fantasy's maiden. It is. My heart hurts a little bit. But the time has come. The treasure is coming. [01:10:40] Speaker B: And the treasure will have six and seven night itineraries. [01:10:44] Speaker D: Just seven, I think. [01:10:45] Speaker C: Just seven. [01:10:45] Speaker B: Just seven. [01:10:46] Speaker D: Just seven. [01:10:46] Speaker C: Just seven. [01:10:47] Speaker B: And it'll typically be on what days? [01:10:51] Speaker C: Saturdays. [01:10:52] Speaker B: Saturday. [01:10:53] Speaker C: Saturday. [01:10:53] Speaker B: Saturday out of Port Canaveral. So at least for the first year, for now, will it be going to cast Lookout Key only? Cast away. [01:11:04] Speaker C: Castaway for this year. I mean, I don't know what's going to happen in the future. Right now she's only going to cast away. [01:11:14] Speaker B: So do you guys have any insider tips? I know we've kind of talked about it how like during the sneak peek, you were able to pick out certain details and things that you know were just unexpected but also really captivating. What are some of the advice that you might tell people that are going on the Disney treasure to make sure that they, you know, pay attention to that or that they absolutely should experience. [01:11:42] Speaker C: Thinking the first one. [01:11:44] Speaker D: Okay, sorry. The first one I was thinking about is I said it. Kind of said it before, but with the Haunted Mansion Parlor, just to experience it in different places. Because I think if you go once and you sit in one place, you won't see everything. All the. Well, that could apply to any of the areas. You won't see all the details unless you fully experience it from a different view each time. I kept thinking about that. [01:12:13] Speaker C: Yeah, especially there's a lot going on in that Haunted Mansion. It's a very small place, but it's like a lot. A lot. It's a lot. My. And this is always my advice. And it doesn't matter. The ship, but especially with the treasure. And I'm going to tell you why I find that a lot of my clients are always. And people in general, even if they're not my clients, I see it on the Internet all the time over, over, over planning as if they're going to Walt Disney World and stressing over every little detail. And oh my gosh, I didn't get this. And oh, my booking window. And I didn't get this. And they think their whole cruise is ruined. And I am telling you right now, this Disney treasure, what you need to be doing from the time you board her, is literally looking around and paying attention to every little detail. Because there's so many details on this ship. I was so overwhelmed by the difference in the detail between the Wish and the Treasure. And when I tell you it's the same ship, it's the same footprint, they didn't do anything different to the ship itself. The structure is the same, but it's a hundred percent. It feels different, it looks different. It sometimes looks bigger, and it's not. It's in the detail. They didn't do this with the Wish because the Wish was constructed during COVID There was no supplies. There were. She was delayed. They didn't have what they needed to build her. And when they did, it was rushed. She wasn't ready. They pushed her out here and sailed her. I was on that maiden. She wasn't ready. It's no one's fault. It was a bad time to build a ship. There were no supplies. It was no one's fault. They couldn't even do these preview cruises. There wasn't food. There was just nothing. Everybody has to remember that about the Disney Wish. It's not that she's not beautiful. The Treasure, however, was fully completed and completed early. You can see. Just take her in. Look down, look up, look around. When you are on deck four. Look at the seated areas they immersed you. Those couches, those chairs, those palm trees. Look at the crystals on the floor of the carpets. It's insane. Don't over plan your cruise. You have seven nights. Now it's not a three night, it's not a four night. I've always said I hate three and four nights. You don't have enough time to see the ship and get everything in there rushed. You now have seven nights. Don't over plan your cruises. Get on the ship, take the ship in, take it day by day. Don't miss a thing. You have seven nights to see the ship. Go see it. [01:15:14] Speaker D: I think that's the best advice. You're right. It is beautifully done and you could plan nothing and be full with everything that's on that ship. [01:15:25] Speaker C: Like I'm sure we didn't see. I could probably walk the ship because of the structure blindfolded and tell you where we are and get you where we need to be. But to see the details you have to stop and breathe and we didn't stop and breathe. [01:15:39] Speaker D: No, we didn't. [01:15:40] Speaker C: Now I can't wait to get back, right? I can't wait to go back and see everything I missed and take a deep breath. [01:15:48] Speaker B: So which is probably going to be my follow up question to that was after you've seen it, what is the first thing that you want to go back and experience again because you feel like it was that captivating? [01:16:01] Speaker C: I want to walk every inch of that Grand Hall, Decks 4 and 5 and see what I missed because I know I missed a bunch of stuff in there. We were rushed through. I want to see what shows they do in there. I actually want to go back to the skipper society. I feel like we were just rushed through that whole Deck 3 experience. [01:16:24] Speaker D: I want to hear my name called. I want to hear my family name called. I want that feeling you get when you walk on a Disney cruise. And I was kind of waiting for it as you were kind of ushering the people like move and I was waiting for it and I'm like, shoot, we don't get that part right now. Keep going, keep going and, but I want that feeling and I want to, like you said, take a breath and take in that Peter Pan show that was so quick to see in the grand hall. [01:16:51] Speaker B: But I want. [01:16:52] Speaker C: Yeah, we missed it. Did you? [01:16:55] Speaker D: Oh yeah, I've got it on video. Yeah, like little pop up show of Peter Pan and it was adorable. But I want to hear my name called and I want to walk tapping. [01:17:06] Speaker C: On the ship and not having, you know, they were like, cut with your camera. You. We had. I was filming. And he goes, but yeah, I want. [01:17:15] Speaker D: The magic of walking on the ship. That's. That's what I can't wait to. And then, of course, you've got seven days to experience. But I love that feeling. [01:17:24] Speaker A: I have two things. One, you know, y'all talk about just taking the time. I think of a. It's a quote that my brother had on a shirt one time, but it said, adventure is not a race. And that's like. That's one of the. Every person that I ever talked to that, you know, they talk about going to Disney and they want to try to get everything in on their first go. I'm like, slow down. Just take it all in. Because you're not going to be able to do everything once, but enjoy the time while you're there instead of trying to, you know, at 8:05, I have this. And then 8, 10, I have this. And trying to plan it to every single moment. Take smell the roses breathe. And then also what y'all need to do is one of y'all needs to get those new, like, Ray Ban meta glasses so you can record. I don't know if y'all know about these. [01:18:21] Speaker C: I do not know. [01:18:22] Speaker A: So if they say, like, cut off your camera, like, okay, and just ding, recording. [01:18:28] Speaker C: Send me a link. [01:18:29] Speaker D: That would have been helpful. [01:18:31] Speaker C: That would have been so much easier, period. Instead of this, I need those. [01:18:37] Speaker A: I don't know the quality of them. [01:18:39] Speaker C: But, gosh, that would be so much. [01:18:43] Speaker A: Easier than walking around doing this or get the DJI. ISMO Pocket is a little 3D. [01:18:50] Speaker B: It's a little camera that can shoot Media preview. Honestly, we gotta figure this out, because. [01:18:57] Speaker C: I. I did get that tripod thing that you guys showed me. [01:19:05] Speaker B: Yeah. [01:19:06] Speaker C: But I still have to walk around with it. Very bad at it. [01:19:11] Speaker B: Good Goodness. There's so much to see, so much to do. Not enough time. All right, moving on. Let's wrap up and give our final thoughts on your whole experience. You know, honestly, I have to say, just hearing you guys, I'm not just excited for the preview on behalf of the Masters podcast, but for my personal trip on the Treasure next year. I mean, I feel like it's redundant to say, but you know, what are some of the exciting highlights of the Treasure? And that kind of goes back with the question before, like, what is the one thing you want to go back? But is there any highlights? Also ask it. [01:19:51] Speaker C: There's just so many. I mean, I want to see the Coco show for dinner because I mean, I have to, honestly, I have to go rewatch Coco. It's been years, so I want to make sure I know what the jam is. But from what I saw of the preview, just the costuming, I'm really looking forward to that. I think that's going to be a highlight. Obviously Moana, she's my girl. Have to see the conclusion, have to see how it ends. I think generally just taking the. There's just not one thing. And you know, my heart is with my crew members. So spending some shout out to those cast members. Screw members with my crew family. My second family. Spend some quality time with them too, instead of, hey, bye, gotta go. Bye. It'll be nice to catch up a little bit. But yeah, it's. The whole thing is exciting. There's just not one thing that the whole thing was amazing. [01:20:54] Speaker D: I'll be excited not to rush through everything and not to be able to really, truly sit and experience every single venue because it really, it was overwhelming walking on that ship and knowing that you're some of the first people on it and getting to experience that. But to once again go back and like we've said before, take a breath and just experience every little detail. Those imagineers went above and beyond. It's. It's overwhelming. [01:21:24] Speaker B: Disney's signature experience at its finest. At its finest. So on that note, I want everyone to know that booking for the Disney treasure is open through Laura de Nanto one.

So I'm very grateful that both of you ladies came on today to talk about this and really give us such a great inside scoop that not a lot of people have, you know, and it's a personal experience too. It's not just hey, we're grabbing this information from Disney and running with it. You experience it and you have nothing but positive things to say. Is there anything else you guys would like to mention as we wrap things up? You know, last minute thoughts on the Disney treasure? [01:24:42] Speaker A: I just want to say, Yeah, I just want to say real quick to me, like we always talk about Laura being the queen of dcl because Laura, how many cruises on the Disney Cruise line have you been on? 45. That's 45 more than I've been on. [01:25:01] Speaker B: And yes, this is a, this is a problem. [01:25:05] Speaker A: I know, but, but hear me out. To hear you talk, the excitement in both of Yalls voice talking about this new ship and the amazement of Sarah, how many have you been on Disney? [01:25:20] Speaker C: 2. [01:25:22] Speaker D: But I used to. Long story. I used to work on a cruise ship that's like 20 years ago and then I've experienced the other cruise lines but Disney's my heart and soul. [01:25:32] Speaker A: But I mean having all this cruise experience between the two of y'all. But then, but also hearing the excitement and the just, I mean just the awe in Yalls voices talking about this new ship and all the different details and how, you know, I can't think of any other word other than how excited y'all are to go back and experience it again. To me, just speaks volumes of the amount of work that Disney has put into this new ship and the details that they put in and the meticulous planning and just almost how special this ship is, because, I mean, they could have just gone with a cookie cutter with it being in the Wish class, because, like I said, you know, basically, the bones are the same, but what they've done inside, just. And I've never stepped on it, but here and just hearing y'all talk about it and also seeing all the previews and everything, it is just absolutely incredible what Disney has done with this shit. [01:26:42] Speaker C: And I'll tell you, the pictures, all the media out there, it doesn't really do it justice. You can't capture. You just can't capture it. There's no way that a camera can capture what you are seeing when you are looking at it. The pictures of the Tomorrow Suite, it just. Unless you're standing in it staring at that chandelier with the light hitting it, those details don't really pop out. Like, you just have to see it to actually believe it. And when I talk about the grand hall, your camera, even at 0.5, you can't fit it into one picture. And you're just standing in this and your head is telling you you stood in the Wish grand hall how many times already? Why are you just standing here crying? Because it's so much grander on the treasure. That's how I see it. There's mosaic tile on the structural poles. That is the Tea Dale. And yes, the Wish has beautiful lighting. The fiber optic lighting. The treasure doesn't have that. But then again, we're talking the difference between the Princess ship and an adventure ship. Mosaic tiling on the poles, magnanimous. [01:27:55] Speaker A: So if you take nothing else from this podcast, they have mosaic tiling on the poles. [01:28:03] Speaker C: It was just another. [01:28:04] Speaker A: I mean, that. That's. That's insane. Because I used to work in construction. No, I know about. [01:28:10] Speaker B: That's magic. [01:28:11] Speaker A: Yeah. Insanity. Magic is all the same with Disney. [01:28:14] Speaker D: She's like, the ship's side by side. [01:28:16] Speaker C: They're the same. Go inside. And they are two totally different entities. And you can look at the Dream Class and put the dream and the fantasy side by side. Walk inside and you go, oh, hey, they changed the color. But you're not like, two different ships. Like, I felt like I was on two different ships. And not to say that the Dream and fantasy aren't beautiful ships. Nobody needs to slay me on social media. I love the dream and fantasy. Love them. I'm just saying that there's a difference in the ship class and a definite difference in what they did with the treasure. Just wow. That's all I'm going to say because I can say it all night long. Wow. [01:29:05] Speaker A: Sarah, what about you? [01:29:06] Speaker B: Do you have any final thoughts? [01:29:07] Speaker D: Well, I have to go back and look at all my pictures now because I realized I'm missing a lot of details that I didn't even realize because I've. God, I think we took over like 900 pictures. Now I need to go search through them tonight. It's exactly that. It's overwhelming. It's stunning, it's beautiful. And I can't wait to get back on. [01:29:26] Speaker B: So everyone go book your Disney treasure trip. Go, go, go. [01:29:31] Speaker D: Treasure. [01:29:32] Speaker C: Book the treasure man. [01:29:34] Speaker B: And to think there's gonna be a brand new ship next year. [01:29:39] Speaker C: Maiden who's joining me? [01:29:40] Speaker B: You know, there's never enough adult money some days. That's all I gotta say. [01:29:44] Speaker C: Yeah, it's another year away, but I. [01:29:47] Speaker B: Hope to have you guys on the podcast for that reveal. So on that note, Brooks, you want to take trivia? [01:29:57] Speaker A: Oh, yeah, we had trivia. So if you remember our trivia question number one, kudos to you because it was way back when. Way, way. But the question, it was how many horn melodies does the Disney Treasure have? [01:30:17] Speaker C: It's counting. [01:30:18] Speaker A: And if you guessed lucky number seven, you would be correct. Quoting Disney. Several of the new ship horn sounds were chosen to complement the daring tales that would be found on board the Disney Treasure. While others captured the ship's motif of adventure. Future Disney Cruise line guests will soon hear the Disney Parks classic grim grinning ghost, a nod to the Haunted Mansion parlor. Remember me from the Pixar Animation Studios film Coco, honoring the theatrical dining restaurant the Plaza de Coco and a whole new world from Walt Disney Animation Studios film Aladdin. A tie to the ship's grand hall. And also, don't they also have how far I'll go from Moana? [01:31:13] Speaker C: Yeah, they have that one. [01:31:15] Speaker A: That's the one. That's the one that sticks out in Mama. [01:31:19] Speaker C: That song makes me cry. You're welcome. I've heard them play. You're welcome. When they pulled into Port Canaveral. [01:31:28] Speaker A: But the team will even correct, even create a special holiday composition for this year's holiday season. So even though they may not be decorated, it does sound like they will have special horns for the holy holiday season. [01:31:44] Speaker C: So so maybe people will be happy because they'll play Jingle Bells. [01:31:51] Speaker A: They. They better play. I'm not concerned if it better. They better play. It feels like Christmas from Disney. From Muppets Christmas Carol. [01:31:59] Speaker C: That's a great how that goes. [01:32:01] Speaker A: Whenever you find love, it feels like Christmas. I don't want to be copy. [01:32:09] Speaker B: Keep going. [01:32:10] Speaker A: So that might be foreshadowing a future episode, people. So. Yeah, don't know. [01:32:15] Speaker C: I just. Pictures of the mosaic poles. [01:32:20] Speaker D: Can I show you pictures of Laura laying on the mosaics? [01:32:24] Speaker C: That's the mosaic tiles. [01:32:28] Speaker D: I was like walking on those. I just kept thinking of that when you were describing the poles. [01:32:33] Speaker C: Oh, those people. [01:32:36] Speaker B: Well, it seems despite running around all over Agrabah, you guys had a blast and a half. So we did. On that note, I want everyone listening to make sure you're following Fairy Tale Journeys or FTJ Travels social media page, because at the time that this drops, they will be on the first half of the week.

[01:33:28] Speaker C: Yeah, that makes it easier for us. [01:33:31] Speaker B: Yeah, right? Tell me what you want and just go on lives. Right? [01:33:34] Speaker A: Just tell me what you want. [01:33:35] Speaker C: What you really, really want so we don't run around guessing. Tell where you want us to be and we'll go be comfy. [01:33:43] Speaker B: Shoes is the key. [01:33:45] Speaker C: Cats meow is my key. And then I'll be wherever you want me to be. [01:33:49] Speaker A: Sure. Cats meow Next to the mosaic coals. [01:33:51] Speaker C: I will be right there. [01:33:53] Speaker B: New profile picture. [01:33:55] Speaker C: Cats meow by that mosaic bowl Goodness.
