What time do the gate? 229 00:09:40,279 --> 00:09:42,982 So that's usually eight, sometimes 730. 230 00:09:42,982 --> 00:09:44,550 That's not so bad. 231 00:09:44,550 --> 00:09:45,918 I noticed for you the way my. 232 00:09:45,918 --> 00:09:46,752 My actual pattern 233 00:09:46,752 --> 00:09:49,755 is, I and I do this all the time, especially for Florida when it's hot. 234 00:09:50,489 --> 00:09:53,159 I do opening to about 12 1230. 235 00:09:53,159 --> 00:09:58,364 I grab a lunch back to the hotel for 4.5 hours. 236 00:09:58,364 --> 00:10:00,566 Susan, what did you mean the opening? 12 1230. 237 00:10:00,566 --> 00:10:02,535 Oh, I get that open, you know, because when. 238 00:10:02,535 --> 00:10:05,137 You, you get there, when it opens early, I. 239 00:10:05,137 --> 00:10:07,740 Try to get there like 20 minutes before they open doors. Due to. Hot. 240 00:10:07,740 --> 00:10:08,507 Because when you 241 00:10:08,507 --> 00:10:11,711 when they open the gates, there's, you know, probably 10,000 people there, 242 00:10:11,711 --> 00:10:15,014 but they get dispersed all over the park and they head for 1000 people. 243 00:10:15,014 --> 00:10:15,848 Wait. 244 00:10:15,848 --> 00:10:19,852 Yeah, but it in the morning you'll get you'll get a good hour, 245 00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:21,087 that there's a lot of attractions. 246 00:10:21,087 --> 00:10:24,890 You'll just be able to walk right on because the people gravitate towards 247 00:10:24,890 --> 00:10:26,092 like 2 or 3 attraction. 248 00:10:26,092 --> 00:10:27,460 It's so spaced out to what. 249 00:10:27,460 --> 00:10:29,662 Are the 2 or 3 that they tend to gravitate. To. 250 00:10:29,662 --> 00:10:31,230 And either go to Space Mountain, 251 00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:34,467 they go to Tiana's, which is a new ride, or they go to Seven Dwarfs Mine train. 252 00:10:34,467 --> 00:10:36,168 At Disneyland is what what kind of a ride is. That? 253 00:10:36,168 --> 00:10:37,903 That Splash Mountain they converted it to? 254 00:10:37,903 --> 00:10:40,039 Oh, I didn't know that because it's Splash Mountain. I've done that. 255 00:10:40,039 --> 00:10:41,207 Yeah, since it's the newest thing. 256 00:10:41,207 --> 00:10:43,075 Like they those people gravitate to that. 257 00:10:43,075 --> 00:10:44,710 But then every other ride is open. 258 00:10:45,811 --> 00:10:47,413 I want to go to the haunted house. 259 00:10:47,413 --> 00:10:50,416 Well, that's usually open like just easy to get on in the beginning. 260 00:10:50,583 --> 00:10:51,884 And I stay to like 12. 261 00:10:51,884 --> 00:10:56,255 And then I go get lunch and then back to the hotel to pool, nap. 262 00:10:57,056 --> 00:10:59,191 What? What would I stay away from? 263 00:10:59,191 --> 00:11:02,728 Since we are all adults now, I don't have like little kids 264 00:11:02,995 --> 00:11:05,931 wanting to go on certain rides like the teacup or something. 265 00:11:05,931 --> 00:11:08,868 So like when you.

They're not my friend. 269 00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:16,242 Yeah. 270 00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:18,144 So, like, roller coasters never did. 271 00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:21,147 Yeah. So, like, I love roller coasters. 272 00:11:21,447 --> 00:11:24,216 But though my wife won't go upside no upside down coasters, I, 273 00:11:25,217 --> 00:11:27,119 but I always gravitate, you know, 274 00:11:27,119 --> 00:11:31,457 we get there, and I always wanted to, like, hey, 275 00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:34,794 I should tape how my family navigates the park. 276 00:11:35,227 --> 00:11:39,699 Because we get a lot done and we take time off, and then 277 00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,868 usually we do, like, sit down dinner, and then we're back to the park. 278 00:11:42,868 --> 00:11:45,604 And so. Close. That didn't happen overnight. That's years and years ago. 279 00:11:45,604 --> 00:11:46,505 Oh, yeah. Right. 280 00:11:46,505 --> 00:11:49,508 So you could actually do a whole instructional video. 281 00:11:49,642 --> 00:11:51,544 Oh, 100%. I always wanted to do that. 282 00:11:51,544 --> 00:11:54,547 I was want to sit down and be like, this is what I do. Yes. 283 00:11:54,714 --> 00:11:56,615 This is how I would navigate and each 284 00:11:56,615 --> 00:11:59,418 each I'm a different Disney World is completely different to Disneyland. 285 00:11:59,418 --> 00:12:01,320 They are they are two unique. 286 00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,521 So tell us how, 287 00:12:03,489 --> 00:12:05,024 Same a lot of the same rides. 288 00:12:05,024 --> 00:12:09,829 Disneyland rides are actually in the most part one, they're the same ride. 289 00:12:09,829 --> 00:12:11,597 They're actually better. 290 00:12:11,597 --> 00:12:13,699 Disneyland. At Disneyland, they. California. 291 00:12:13,699 --> 00:12:15,801 Even though that's the older. One. It's the older one. 292 00:12:15,801 --> 00:12:17,403 But because it's a local park 293 00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:21,273 and they need the local people to come in more often, that they have a tendency. 294 00:12:21,307 --> 00:12:23,776 Update those rides first. 295 00:12:23,776 --> 00:12:26,912 Wow. So Pirates of the Caribbean is like ten minutes longer. 296 00:12:27,813 --> 00:12:31,183 Peter Pan there is is is has more audio visuals. 297 00:12:31,183 --> 00:12:33,786 The Thunder Mount has more audio visuals. Now they're catching up in Florida. 298 00:12:33,786 --> 00:12:37,189 Now they're refurbishing Thunder Mountain to be more like the one in Disneyland. 299 00:12:37,456 --> 00:12:38,991 You would think they want to be consistent. 300 00:12:38,991 --> 00:12:39,191 Yeah. 301 00:12:39,191 --> 00:12:40,826 No, they they do Disneyland first 302 00:12:40,826 --> 00:12:42,862 and then it kind of gets rolled out to Disney World. 303 00:12:42,862 --> 00:12:45,030 About the is the food also different? 304 00:12:45,030 --> 00:12:46,632 I always the food in Disneyland 305 00:12:46,632 --> 00:12:48,601 is a lot better because once again it's a locals park. 306 00:12:48,601 --> 00:12:52,171 So Disney World's more of like once in a lifetime trip. 307 00:12:52,171 --> 00:12:55,174 People are coming there once, maybe every 2 or 3 years. 308 00:12:55,207 --> 00:12:57,543 Disneyland. Some of those people come in every week. 309 00:12:57,543 --> 00:12:59,545 Like I have a very good friend out there. 310 00:12:59,545 --> 00:13:00,846 He has a season pass. 311 00:13:00,846 --> 00:13:03,582 He's there at least once a week, if not week. 312 00:13:03,582 --> 00:13:06,552 So does he go there to eat? He goes there. 313 00:13:06,552 --> 00:13:09,321 You treat the park differently when you're like a season pass holder. 314 00:13:09,321 --> 00:13:12,091 It's more of old school, kind of like a mall. 315 00:13:12,091 --> 00:13:12,691 You're going there 316 00:13:12,691 --> 00:13:16,896 to like walk around and catch the you know, they always say there's vibes. 317 00:13:17,229 --> 00:13:20,833 Both parks have vibes, but Disneyland is very laid back. And, 318 00:13:22,201 --> 00:13:25,070 and that's one of the reason I like either going to either both of them. 319 00:13:25,070 --> 00:13:26,405 I like watch people have fun. 320 00:13:26,405 --> 00:13:28,541 So there is a general overall. 321 00:13:28,541 --> 00:13:32,077 If you have seen a bunch of people having fun, just good vibes going on. 322 00:13:32,578 --> 00:13:35,047 So like, you know, people in California navigate 323 00:13:35,047 --> 00:13:37,449 the park, they might only do one ride or do no rides. 324 00:13:37,449 --> 00:13:41,187 Maybe they'll just walk around the park, catch the fireworks show, 325 00:13:41,387 --> 00:13:45,024 grab a bite to eat, have dinner, and they'll they'll hit it for three hours 326 00:13:45,024 --> 00:13:46,792 because they're going to be back next week. 327 00:13:46,792 --> 00:13:48,093 So the fabric in the community. 328 00:13:48,093 --> 00:13:50,229 Yeah, it's it's 329 00:13:50,229 --> 00:13:53,132 the both parks have a very different feel. 330 00:13:53,132 --> 00:13:55,901 The in summer, I definitely prefer Disneyland 331 00:13:55,901 --> 00:13:58,938 because it's usually 80 degrees, no humidity where Florida 332 00:13:58,938 --> 00:14:01,941 can get very humid and the storms come in. 333 00:14:02,141 --> 00:14:02,942 You know, it's kind of a joke. 334 00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:03,242 Yeah. 335 00:14:03,242 --> 00:14:07,279 Two, 3:00 in the afternoon is going to pour it, pause for 15 minutes. 336 00:14:07,413 --> 00:14:09,815 Yeah.
