Music.
5
00:01:06,769 --> 00:01:11,333
Welcome back to another meeting of the Gold Key Adventurer Society.

00:01:11,535 --> 00:01:13,535

13
00:01:43,315 --> 00:01:47,915
Recently, we took a field trip to Walt Disney World to meet up with some friends of the
14
00:01:47,915 --> 00:01:51,795
show and we decided to take on the legendary monorail pub crawl.
15
00:01:52,438 --> 00:01:55,795
And now he's here with us in the studio to recap our eight and a half hour adventure.
16
00:01:55,795 --> 00:01:58,795
Let's welcome our very special guest, Cameron Matthews. Hey guys.
17
00:01:58,795 --> 00:02:00,792
Hey. It's great to be here.
18
00:02:01,377 --> 00:02:06,195
Is that? Long time no see. Is that Cameron Matthews of Cameron Matthews Entertainment?
19
00:02:06,195 --> 00:02:09,195
What a great plug you just did there. Thank you so much for that sir.
20
00:02:09,731 --> 00:02:13,915
Yes. And I've just sobered up after our eight and a half hour pub crawl that we just recently.
21
00:02:15,033 --> 00:02:21,223
I've just re-gotten drunk for the first time since. That's why you're so well lit on Zoom tonight.
22
00:02:21,524 --> 00:02:25,843
That's right. Get it? But yeah, we just did the Monorail Pub Crawl.
23
00:02:25,843 --> 00:02:30,483
And if you've never done the Monorail Pub Crawl, folks, why don't we let's describe what it is.
24
00:02:30,483 --> 00:02:32,012
Maybe folks don't even know what we're talking about.
25
00:02:32,102 --> 00:02:37,143
I was confused. I thought I had to crawl on and off the monorail itself.
26
00:02:37,143 --> 00:02:42,166
But apparently you're able to walk on and off of the monorail. Correct. You are.
27
00:02:42,445 --> 00:02:47,763
At least for the first couple of stops. I was able to do it on the way to the Polynesian.
28
00:02:47,763 --> 00:02:57,848
So the basic idea is you visit an establishment in each of the hotel's resorts on the monorail line.
29
00:02:58,243 --> 00:03:05,059
So that's the Polynesian, the Grand Floridian, and the contemporary, Disney's Contemporary Resort.
30
00:03:05,323 --> 00:03:10,723
That's right. And we've tried several of the establishments within each hotel.
31
00:03:10,723 --> 00:03:15,003
And we did that all in eight and a half hours, had dinner, and still wanted more.
32
00:03:15,003 --> 00:03:18,563
And it was something you're going to learn, that I could always eat and just enjoy more.
33
00:03:18,563 --> 00:03:25,443
Yes, every, all the time. I suppose that now you could throw the Magic Kingdom into this pub crawl if you had dinner
34
00:03:25,443 --> 00:03:26,169
reservations.
35
00:03:26,443 --> 00:03:31,409
Absolutely. Now that they serve beer and wine at the table service places in the Magic Kingdom.
36
00:03:31,603 --> 00:03:32,885
We did not do that this time.
37
00:03:33,643 --> 00:03:39,844
No, we kept it park-free. Yes. Sort of a purist, classic form of the Monorail.
38
00:03:40,303 --> 00:03:45,083
I agree. I agree. And we started early and we'll get into why we started early,
39
00:03:45,303 --> 00:03:50,543
especially at the Polynesian. But, you know, this is a great thing to do with your friends, your family, you know,
40
00:03:50,583 --> 00:03:53,383
even to bring the kids along, not that they're going to be drinking, but,
41
00:03:53,383 --> 00:03:58,863
you know, there's fun, you know, like kiddie cocktails along the way and snacks and food. So, you know what?
42
00:03:58,863 --> 00:04:01,251
I disagree. Okay. Talk about that, Jeff.
43
00:04:01,548 --> 00:04:09,663
I think cats do not need to drink. You got it. They will scratch you. They cannot hold their liquor. Yeah. Cats vomit to it.
44
00:04:09,663 --> 00:04:12,663
Yeah. So, OK, leave the cats at home. Leave the cats with the kids.
45
00:04:12,765 --> 00:04:14,363
You could bring the kids if you wanted to.
46
00:04:14,935 --> 00:04:18,743
Yeah. Yeah, sure. Yeah. It could be a family thing. Yeah. Yeah.
47
00:04:18,743 --> 00:04:22,803
I think we we probably saw children in every place we visited.
48
00:04:23,118 --> 00:04:27,079
We did. And we even experienced when it came to the point when they had to kick them out.
49
00:04:27,543 --> 00:04:31,343
That was my favorite point. I do have to say no offense to parents out there.
50
00:04:31,623 --> 00:04:37,183
But yes, there's some there's some debate over where you should start.
51
00:04:37,395 --> 00:04:43,263
But we started, we chose to start at Disney's Polynesian Village Resort. I think, I think where
52
00:04:43,263 --> 00:04:49,023
we started was the perfect place. Will we say why now? Tell us why, yeah. Why don't we say,
53
00:04:49,023 --> 00:04:57,183
why don't we talk about why? Trader Sam's opens at 3 p.m. and you can start lining up as early as 1
54
00:04:57,183 --> 00:05:05,423
You can get your name on a list as early as 1 p.m. for Trader Sam's Grog Grotto.
55
00:05:04,438 --> 00:05:09,668
And you really need to you need to get in line and get your we got there. It was maybe.
56
00:05:10,542 --> 00:05:14,508
120 on a Thursday on a yeah Thursday afternoon,
57
00:05:15,151 --> 00:05:19,368
About 120 we got there and they said it was gonna be about a three-hour wait,
58
00:05:19,888 --> 00:05:22,688
So we went upstairs. We got our name on the list
59
00:05:22,688 --> 00:05:27,408
There was only five of us, but there were so many people ahead of us on that list
60
00:05:27,408 --> 00:05:40,028
There were so many people already ahead of us at 120 So we went upstairs to the Tambu lounge to wait for our time and the cam has changed
61
00:05:40,028 --> 00:05:42,108
his background on our zoom call.
62
00:05:42,108 --> 00:05:47,308
I want to relive this experience. So I'm reliving it. He is already at the Tambu lounge waiting room.
63
00:05:47,308 --> 00:05:54,401
So we got our name on the list. We went upstairs to the Tambu lounge, which has a very similar vibe, not as themed, but
64
00:05:54,748 --> 00:05:57,804
it's also Polynesian. It's also tiki vibed.
65
00:05:58,830 --> 00:06:05,948
And most importantly, it's connected to Ohana. And if you're a big fan of Ohana, they serve Ohana food there, too.
66
00:06:05,948 --> 00:06:12,063
Yes, they do. Starting at, what did we learn, at 4 p.m., they started serving the food.
67
00:06:12,268 --> 00:06:17,028
And you can get the noodles from the menu. Get the dumplings.
68
00:06:17,028 --> 00:06:21,268
Dumplings. They're great. You know, beers are on draft, but great cocktails as well.
69
00:06:21,268 --> 00:06:28,208
And one of their most famous, that several of us tried, was the pineapple drink, literally
70
00:06:28,208 --> 00:06:30,464
in a pineapple called the Lapu-Lapu.
71
00:06:30,977 --> 00:06:33,849
It was delicious. The legendary Lapu-Lapu.
72
00:06:35,288 --> 00:06:41,366
I should correct myself. People line up at one o'clock for a 3 p.m. opening.
73
00:06:41,636 --> 00:06:46,408
So 3 p.m. was when they started letting people get on the list.
74
00:06:46,408 --> 00:06:49,612
So we got on the list at three and it was already a two hour wait.
75
00:06:49,693 --> 00:06:51,160
By 3 p.m. when we got there.
76
00:06:51,943 --> 00:06:56,264
Yeah. We were not there at 1 p.m. waiting for two hours, I should say.
77
00:06:56,534 --> 00:07:00,768
And this is just if you want to go inside Trader Sam's at the Polynesian.
78
00:07:00,768 --> 00:07:05,368
So you can enjoy Trader Sam's, it's a different experience, but the same menu outside,
79
00:07:05,368 --> 00:07:10,248
and you don't have to do the whole reservation system. So if this is something you wanna do later in the day,
80
00:07:10,248 --> 00:07:13,684
you don't wanna get all the way out to the Polynesian just to put your name in,
81
00:07:13,808 --> 00:07:15,295
hey, you don't have to do that.
82
00:07:15,608 --> 00:07:20,288
They have a beautiful patio outside. The week that we were there,
83
00:07:20,288 --> 00:07:23,118
it was over 100 degrees in Orlando.
84
00:07:23,226 --> 00:07:28,688
So not only is it more themed and more magical inside, but it was just so hot.
85
00:07:28,688 --> 00:07:33,648
We wanted to do the inside theme. They have all kinds of lighting and special effects
86
00:07:33,648 --> 00:07:37,828
and all that. I wanted to do the full Trader Sam's vibe, but...
87
00:07:38,161 --> 00:07:46,231
You can also just go outside, have all the same drinks. Not quite as fun, but they always have a nice musicians outside.
88
00:07:46,641 --> 00:07:51,611
It's nice outside at Trader Sam's on the patio and they have all the same drinks,
89
00:07:52,096 --> 00:07:53,731
but it's a little bit different vibe.
90
00:07:54,005 --> 00:08:00,611
Yeah. And when we get around to that stop, we'll we'll talk about why you want to try your hardest to get inside, because it's definitely
91
00:08:00,651 --> 00:08:03,371
it is worth the way, definitely worth the experience, worth the wait.
92
00:08:03,601 --> 00:08:09,795
So we recommend, you know, if you're going to do the full experience like we did. Go ahead and just get your name in at Trader Sam's. And then we just hung.
93
00:08:10,251 --> 00:08:14,107
Around at the Polynesian to get started because you never know if you'll get called early.
94
00:08:14,311 --> 00:08:19,031
So at the Tambulange, they've got great cocktails, draft beers, and it's connected to Ohana.
95
00:08:19,031 --> 00:08:23,991
So you can enjoy some of the great bites from Ohana, if you're a big fan of that, like we
96
00:08:23,991 --> 00:08:27,851
are. And we had the noodles and the pot stickers.
97
00:08:27,851 --> 00:08:30,995
Everybody loves those noodles and the pot stickers. And they're so good.
98
00:08:31,111 --> 00:08:35,111
So good. Oh, yeah. And they... And that peanut sauce. Yes.
99
00:08:35,111 --> 00:08:38,935
Us to order more than one bowl of noodles because they were small. They weren't small.
100
00:08:39,211 --> 00:08:42,707
They were so many noodles. It was a lot. It was a lot, but it was so good.
101
00:08:42,797 --> 00:08:49,631
I ate about a bowl and a half. I was pacing myself, you know, pacing myself because I
102
00:08:49,631 --> 00:08:54,527
had the lapu-lapu, which is, if you're not aware of, it's the pineapple drink, uh, that
103
00:08:54,689 --> 00:08:59,031
the whole, it's like a thousand different rums in the pineapple. It's been cored out
104
00:08:59,031 --> 00:09:02,471
for you. He's exaggerating. It's 14 different rums.
105
00:09:02,471 --> 00:09:05,971
Okay, he's exaggerating. It's three.
106
00:09:06,158 --> 00:09:12,471
One of them is a floater of 151. Oh, there's 151 rums. That's what I just heard.
107
00:09:12,471 --> 00:09:14,404
Yeah, that's right. So many rums.
108
00:09:14,485 --> 00:09:20,471
But that's great. But my wife Hannah was with us as well, and she got the back scratcher.
109
00:09:20,895 --> 00:09:24,945
Which is a real fun drink because it actually comes with a back scratcher as a souvenir.
110
00:09:25,153 --> 00:09:27,445
A souvenir and a garnish. It doesn't get any better than that.
111
00:09:27,445 --> 00:09:29,573
So useful. So useful.
112
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:34,542
So Jeff likes to use it on a different part of his neck. He does. Nope. Not going to go there.
113
00:09:34,713 --> 00:09:39,845
We're just scratching the surface here, folks. We're just scratching the surface with this. Which surface are we scratching, Cameron?
114
00:09:39,845 --> 00:09:42,345
Well, moving on right there.
115
00:09:42,345 --> 00:09:45,345
So we hung out at the Tambu Lounge and we were there for a couple hours.
116
00:09:45,345 --> 00:09:50,345
I think, right, guys? Yeah, Jeff had seven or eight lapu-lapus.
117
00:09:50,345 --> 00:09:52,985
Well, and part of that was the day and not throw you under the table.
118
00:09:52,985 --> 00:09:58,265
But you forgot all of the microphones for us to record sound bites.
119
00:09:58,265 --> 00:09:59,857
Right when we got there. Right.
120
00:10:00,136 --> 00:10:04,745
Yeah, I did leave my microphone and our show producer forgot to produce our show.
121
00:10:04,970 --> 00:10:07,785
Well, I forgot to hire an assistant to remember things for me.
122
00:10:07,785 --> 00:10:12,105
So but not to worry, Dan, because we had a great conversation without you.
123
00:10:12,883 --> 00:10:17,690
We're live, everybody. Are we live? We're live. Live from Walt Disney World.
124
00:10:17,843 --> 00:10:23,704
We're on our first stop of the Monorail pub crawl. Dan, unfortunately, died in a tragic accident on the way here.
125
00:10:23,965 --> 00:10:29,385
In other words, he left all of the other microphones in the hotel room.
126
00:10:29,385 --> 00:10:36,305
Actually, yes, he had to run back to the contemporary where we're staying to get the other microphones.
127
00:10:36,305 --> 00:10:40,665
So we are at the Tambu Lounge. We're waiting to get into Trader Sam's.
128
00:10:40,665 --> 00:10:43,410
So we are having a lapu-lapu.
129
00:10:44,067 --> 00:10:48,725
Ooh, that's strong. Ooh, ooh, that's strong. And what is in the lapu-lapu?
130
00:10:48,725 --> 00:10:51,656
All of the rums, let's see, lapu-lapu.
131
00:10:52,005 --> 00:10:54,005
It's a bunch of shit served in a pineapple.
132
00:10:56,274 --> 00:11:00,185
So he was yeah, well ready. How many lapoos in were you at this point?
133
00:11:00,745 --> 00:11:07,130
That was the first sip of the first one. Yeah. Yeah, that's one lapu in the amazing thing is it only took me
134
00:11:07,230 --> 00:11:10,209
Cuz I cheated and took a minivan from the poly to the contemporary
135
00:11:10,425 --> 00:11:13,385
I was only gone about 10 minutes and in that period of time,
136
00:11:13,927 --> 00:11:17,945
Y'all had turned into like the Marx Brothers or something. This is the chaos that I came back to
137
00:11:17,945 --> 00:11:22,857
Well, everybody Dan has made it back to the police station This is the chaos that I came back to.
138
00:11:23,308 --> 00:11:27,265
Well, everybody, Dan has made it back with his microphones. Now, Dan, welcome.
139
00:11:27,265 --> 00:11:30,225
Thank you. I'm so happy to be here. So, Dan, you're catching up.
140
00:11:30,225 --> 00:11:33,825
This is the beginning of Dan's catch-up, because we all started drinking before.
141
00:11:33,825 --> 00:11:37,705
Dan is actually just drinking catch-up. Catch-up busters. Dan's on his first lapu.
142
00:11:37,705 --> 00:11:39,350
The rest of us are on, what, three?
143
00:11:39,404 --> 00:11:43,225
I'm having a second lapu, because there was not enough rum in that first one.
144
00:11:43,536 --> 00:11:47,825
You can tell from the slurring in my voice that I'm on the second lapu.
145
00:11:47,825 --> 00:11:54,465
You're on your second lapu right now. Yes, it's the drinks are nicely named twice, and I got two of them, so they named four times.
146
00:11:54,465 --> 00:11:58,056
I'm having a lapu-lapu-lapu-lapu-lapu. Have you had the lapu-lapu-lapu?
147
00:11:58,543 --> 00:12:03,465
I'm currently... I've only had the lapu-lapu. I have not been brave enough to go for the lapu-lapu-lapu-lapu.
148
00:12:03,465 --> 00:12:06,465
Have you had a lapu-lapu before? Yes, I have.
149
00:12:06,681 --> 00:12:08,465
So, you've had a pre-lapu. This is not my first lapu.
150
00:12:08,724 --> 00:12:14,465
I've heard you're taking in a lapu dance. That's what my mind wants to know.
151
00:12:14,465 --> 00:12:17,465
A lapu dance. I'll give you a lapu. There's a lot of drumming.
152
00:12:17,465 --> 00:12:22,505
We were very chatty for our first couple of drinks in.
153
00:12:22,894 --> 00:12:29,645
That's right. And I really was not lying. I'm a little intimidated by the idea of attempting a double lapu evening.
154
00:12:30,518 --> 00:12:37,045
Hey, I don't know why, since since the contents of the rest of the evening were were pretty high proof also.
155
00:12:37,085 --> 00:12:43,925
Yeah, but now to do the pub crawl, you know, you don't have to do every single bar at every single hotel.
156
00:12:43,925 --> 00:12:45,795
But boy, the more the merrier.
157
00:12:46,038 --> 00:12:52,685
That is correct. Wow, you go for it. I mean, maybe when I was in college, but you know, you really just need to touch one bar,
158
00:12:52,685 --> 00:12:56,877
have a drink in each hotel, and then you've done and the Magic Kingdom if you want to,
159
00:12:57,205 --> 00:12:59,725
and then you've done the complete pub crawl.
160
00:12:59,725 --> 00:13:03,161
So we hang out, we hung out at the Tambu Lounge for quite a bit of time.
161
00:13:03,458 --> 00:13:04,682
It was a while. Yeah.
162
00:13:05,285 --> 00:13:09,245
Yeah. One thing we did not do on this pub crawl, we didn't do any poolside bars.
163
00:13:09,245 --> 00:13:12,605
That was just something we decided we didn't want to do. It was really hot for August.
164
00:13:12,605 --> 00:13:15,080
Because of the hot. It was really nasty and gross.
165
00:13:15,728 --> 00:13:20,085
Yeah, we'll have to go back and do this again and maybe hit all the pool bars.
166
00:13:20,220 --> 00:13:22,965
Yeah, we could do it and see what they have there. Absolutely.
167
00:13:22,965 --> 00:13:24,965
But maybe a Disneyland.
168
00:13:25,873 --> 00:13:30,603
Hmm, I like that. I feel like maybe we're going to be taking this podcast in a whole new direction.
169
00:13:30,603 --> 00:13:35,083
I think so. All pub crawls all the time. All pub crawls all the time. That's right.
170
00:13:35,272 --> 00:13:39,323
That's right. So we hung out the Tambu Lounge and then we decided, since we had not been called for
171
00:13:39,323 --> 00:13:41,403
Trader Sam's, we decided to move on.
172
00:13:42,141 --> 00:13:51,163
Right? So we just got on the monorail. And before we move on to the Grand Floridian, Dan, what do you recommend not to pack with
173
00:13:51,163 --> 00:14:01,343
you because you have to go through security every single time you do this is one thing pack lightly pack lightly when you do the pub crawl because you do
174
00:14:01,640 --> 00:14:05,523
have to go through security every single time to get on the monorail every and
175
00:14:05,523 --> 00:14:11,043
every single time we all made it through but Dan yeah I had a lot of camera
176
00:14:11,043 --> 00:14:15,683
equipment and some battery packs and I did get a tip finally like my last day
177
00:14:15,683 --> 00:14:19,683
that I was there from a security guy going through my bags and he said that
178
00:14:19,788 --> 00:14:26,936
But anything that's the shape of a portable battery pack for charging your phone, that,
179
00:14:27,530 --> 00:14:29,883
rectangle shape is something that sets off the machine.
180
00:14:29,883 --> 00:14:35,063
So if you pull those out, and that's part of the reason why glasses cases often set
181
00:14:35,063 --> 00:14:39,883
it off too. So if you've got something vaguely long and rectangular, pull that out of your bag and
182
00:14:39,883 --> 00:14:41,925
hold it up in front of you so they can see it.
183
00:14:42,523 --> 00:14:46,963
And allegedly, that's going to get you through. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.
184
00:14:46,963 --> 00:14:50,963
Is it because it looks like C4 or something? Yeah, what in the world?
185
00:14:50,963 --> 00:14:55,338
I guess, I don't know. I had one of those bag safe chargers in my purse.
186
00:14:55,878 --> 00:15:01,403
Didn't set it off. The big thing that set mine off was I had my camera gimbal with me the whole time
187
00:15:01,604 --> 00:15:04,214
and those motors and stuff were.
188
00:15:04,295 --> 00:15:10,561
So just word wise, just pack lightly. Unless you like to open your bag for security at every stop.
189
00:15:10,883 --> 00:15:16,790
Every time. The tweets, they're on, the tweets are on. And on a monorail crawl, that gets really repetitive.
190
00:15:16,871 --> 00:15:23,533
So, but yeah, so then we moved on to the Grand Floridian and a lot of options at the Grand Floridian, right guys?
191
00:15:24,943 --> 00:15:31,824
So, so many. Our favorite and where we went is Enchanted Rose. Enchanted Rose.
192
00:15:32,058 --> 00:15:36,803
Or as I call it repeatedly, be our guest. Yes, he does, yes, he does.
193
00:15:36,803 --> 00:15:38,756
Do you really? He does.
194
00:15:38,923 --> 00:15:40,619
I cannot remember the name of this stupid bar.
195
00:15:42,643 --> 00:15:45,409
But there's also a beautiful little- Especially after a leper, leper, leper, leper.
196
00:15:45,603 --> 00:15:49,793
Yeah. Right. There's also a beautiful lounge at Citrico's.
197
00:15:51,242 --> 00:15:58,223
There's a lovely pool bar at Grand Floridian as well. And the newly remodeled Narcoossees has a bar.
198
00:15:58,223 --> 00:16:00,307
Yes, has a lovely bar.
199
00:16:00,442 --> 00:16:03,023
You can almost always walk up to that beautiful bar.
200
00:16:03,953 --> 00:16:10,327
But we chose Enchanted Rose. Yeah, so this is on the second floor of the main lobby.
201
00:16:11,413 --> 00:16:15,853
And it's really stunning in there. It's one of the newly remodeled spaces.
202
00:16:15,853 --> 00:16:20,813
It's the same color as Heather's new home office. That's true, it is.
203
00:16:20,813 --> 00:16:22,732
Yes. Lovely shade of blue.
204
00:16:22,893 --> 00:16:28,733
Blue. Yes, this used to be a two small bar called Meisner's.
205
00:16:29,583 --> 00:16:34,893
It was one small little space. Yeah, so fun, loved that space, but it was too small.
206
00:16:34,893 --> 00:16:38,198
It was always difficult to get into Meisner's.
207
00:16:38,270 --> 00:16:43,050
It was shoved back there behind the Grand Floridian Band. May it rest in peace.
208
00:16:43,266 --> 00:16:50,945
Miss that. I love that band. But they took over Meisner's and then a bunch of space next to it, a shop.
209
00:16:51,133 --> 00:16:59,146
It was a shop, yeah. They took over Meisner's and the men's shop and the resort shop, which was like tropical resort wear
210
00:16:59,299 --> 00:17:02,396
and opened all that up where it all connects together.
211
00:17:02,864 --> 00:17:08,977
And the resort shop, they added a balcony. There was a faux balcony to the resort shop.
212
00:17:09,130 --> 00:17:13,813
It's now all one thing. It has a huge balcony, which right now is not open
213
00:17:13,813 --> 00:17:15,213
because they're doing some remodeling
214
00:17:15,213 --> 00:17:17,070
to the outside of the resort.
215
00:17:17,241 --> 00:17:22,053
But when that is all open, there's seating in there for a couple of hundred people.
216
00:17:22,053 --> 00:17:23,493
It's a huge bar now.
217
00:17:23,857 --> 00:17:31,173
It's really beautiful. It is, but still popular. So you can encounter a line at Enchanted Rose
218
00:17:31,173 --> 00:17:36,343
in the evenings. Especially because it's on the monorail and because it's right by Magic Kingdom.
219
00:17:36,416 --> 00:17:40,170
If you go there shortly after fireworks, forget about it.
220
00:17:40,404 --> 00:17:41,193
Yeah.
221
00:17:41,682 --> 00:17:45,093
So be prepared. Day of what? Three rooms?
222
00:17:45,093 --> 00:17:47,593
Two rooms? Three spaces. Three separate bars.
223
00:17:47,593 --> 00:17:50,633
Yeah, three spaces in there and the balcony that's out there,
224
00:17:50,633 --> 00:17:52,093
which is great for sunset views.
225
00:17:52,093 --> 00:17:58,516
The bar probably seats 25, and then there's table seating at the bar itself, and then
226
00:17:58,773 --> 00:18:04,593
the room that the bar is in has four, like probably eight or nine tables around it, and
227
00:18:04,593 --> 00:18:07,086
And then there's a room on either side of those that you just...
228
00:18:08,185 --> 00:18:15,475
Uh probably see 30 40 50 people on either side really beautiful space yeah beauty and the beast
229
00:18:15,647 --> 00:18:21,955
themed so you can see some cogsworth and lumiere and just little those the creepy live action
230
00:18:21,955 --> 00:18:26,755
beauty and the beast so be prepared for that it is the live live action cogsworth is a little
231
00:18:26,755 --> 00:18:32,435
off-putting if you've had too many lapus or too many lapu lapu lapu lapu beautiful
232
00:18:32,435 --> 00:18:36,175
Lavender drink, you know what I really really like that,
233
00:18:37,334 --> 00:18:43,875
That's I'm not a fan of those live-action Disney remakes, but I love that one because I hate.
234
00:18:51,635 --> 00:19:04,755
No murder she wrote no nothing nope well before one thing murder she typed We had some lovely drinks here.
235
00:19:04,755 --> 00:19:11,506
My favorite drink on the menu at Enchanted Rose is called is a Kier Royale.
236
00:19:11,804 --> 00:19:21,850
So yummy. It's champagne and a blackberry liqueur and they make at just to be over the top at Enchanted Rose.
237
00:19:21,940 --> 00:19:30,595
They make these little they look like boba balls. They're little pearls that they have made out of Framboise liqueur.
238
00:19:30,897 --> 00:19:38,180
Oh, it's delicious. Mandalorians have different balls than normal folk.
239
00:19:38,765 --> 00:19:39,035
Wow.
240
00:19:40,287 --> 00:19:44,374
Amazingly, though, you managed to find a drink on the menu that you'd never tried before.
241
00:19:45,229 --> 00:19:47,561
Yes, I tried something new. It was the Aura in Me.
242
00:19:48,524 --> 00:19:52,075
Aura in Me. Yes. I'm trying something new that I haven't tried here before. Is it possible?
243
00:19:52,075 --> 00:19:55,575
I'm trying something new that I haven't tried here before. Is that possible?
244
00:19:55,575 --> 00:19:59,575
It's just airway. I found something. Yes. This is called the Aura in Me.
245
00:19:59,575 --> 00:20:00,575
It's an Olet's dry gin, Saint Germain, honey, pink peppercorn, cardamom, and lemon.
246
00:20:00,575 --> 00:20:03,575
And it's got the delicious egg white foam. It's so pretty. Yes.
247
00:20:03,575 --> 00:20:04,575
And it's very, very tasty.
248
00:20:04,764 --> 00:20:16,089
I don't know where that name comes from, but it was delicious.
249
00:20:16,195 --> 00:20:17,043
I hadn't tried it there.
250
00:20:17,565 --> 00:20:24,587
I tend to stick to French 75s, and they have something called a floral bitter beauty. I love that one.
251
00:20:24,920 --> 00:20:26,468
I think that's what you had, wasn't it, Dan?
252
00:20:27,045 --> 00:20:32,689
That's what I had. Yeah, it was a very masculine drink. It has Hendrix in it. Bitter Beauty.
253
00:20:33,135 --> 00:20:38,735
So we've gone from pineapples and umbrellas and back scratchers. To martini.
254
00:20:38,811 --> 00:20:43,438
Coupes. Coupé. Coupes and some really beautiful cocktails.
255
00:20:43,655 --> 00:20:48,655
Dan, tell us about your really strong, masculine drink.
256
00:20:49,335 --> 00:20:51,855
Yes, this is definitely the most masculine drink on the table.
257
00:20:52,485 --> 00:20:57,795
I've got the Floral Bitter Beauty, which is Hendrix, Saint Germain, Saint Germain, Saint Germain.
258
00:20:57,904 --> 00:20:59,095
Yeah, that's my good French accent.
259
00:20:59,354 --> 00:21:02,795
Kicking in there with some Campari, Aperol, Lemonade and Soda.
260
00:21:02,795 --> 00:21:07,935
And it is, it is, oh he's tasting it right now, it is floral and bitter,
261
00:21:07,935 --> 00:21:10,175
but very refreshing and delightful. And it is beautiful.
262
00:21:10,291 --> 00:21:12,686
Yes, yeah.
263
00:21:13,172 --> 00:21:16,595
These these drinks are really fun and I thought very creative.
264
00:21:16,809 --> 00:21:18,475
They're all beautiful to look at.
265
00:21:18,475 --> 00:21:25,355
They really remind me of if you've ever, you know, gone to Europe And you've gone to really you know fun bar in Europe. I thought they were very classy.
266
00:21:26,063 --> 00:21:31,555
I had something called the lavender fog, which was a gin cocktail, which was it was tea infused.
267
00:21:55,355 --> 00:22:10,955
Very delicious, very delicious. And as my stomach will always appreciate, they had a great little menu as well.
268
00:22:10,955 --> 00:22:19,115
You know, you can get charcuterie here and caviar you could get on this menu, right?
269
00:22:19,115 --> 00:22:24,235
And the truffle fries are very good.
270
00:22:24,235 --> 00:22:32,555
House house made beef jerky too. That's right Yes, just odd but cool, I,
271
00:22:33,049 --> 00:22:38,215
Mean, I guess maybe that's like the charcuterie board sitting out a while and not French British
272
00:22:38,215 --> 00:22:42,875
I don't know. Is that a traditional pub snack beef jerky? Yeah,
273
00:22:44,014 --> 00:22:49,875
All right. I don't know. It's salty makes you want to drink more. It's all David not unpleasant after you
274
00:22:49,875 --> 00:22:56,509
Didn't you have an old-fashioned type of old-fashioned, but it had that really cool,
275
00:22:58,635 --> 00:23:03,395
Seasonal old-fashioned. Yeah, they do they always have an old-fashioned of the,
276
00:23:04,251 --> 00:23:09,635
Season or week or I don't know how often they change it, but I always get that and they're always amazing,
277
00:23:10,526 --> 00:23:11,635
I don't remember what mine was.
278
00:23:14,275 --> 00:23:21,595
Something to do with pumpkin maybe because Halloween was just firing up when we were there No, it had a,
279
00:23:22,445 --> 00:23:27,935
I know that it had orange and chocolate bitters, and it had vanilla.
280
00:23:27,975 --> 00:23:31,735
I think the I think instead of just simple syrup, it was it was vanilla.
281
00:23:32,059 --> 00:23:35,775
It was amazing. And I get them every time we go to try them.
282
00:23:35,775 --> 00:23:39,055
And they've I've never been disappointed there. They're always great.
283
00:23:39,261 --> 00:23:41,655
So if you're an old fashioned fan, always try them.
284
00:23:42,070 --> 00:23:48,095
You know, while we're here, because, you know, we dined at Enchanted Rose, not be our guest, Jeff, at Enchanted Rose.
285
00:23:48,095 --> 00:23:52,035
We actually were in the I like to call it the the living room area,
286
00:23:52,476 --> 00:23:57,535
which was formerly Meissner's. But you were talking, Heather, about this one can get particularly crowded.
287
00:23:57,535 --> 00:24:00,375
So any strategies for the pub crawl, guys?
288
00:24:00,575 --> 00:24:05,235
I know it's like you're on the time crunch. You could do one lounge at each resort or you could try to hit them all.
289
00:24:07,295 --> 00:24:09,235
What would you say is the best time to start this pub crawl?
290
00:24:09,595 --> 00:24:14,635
No, without Trader Sam's. Well, you could start at a blue barn.
291
00:24:14,635 --> 00:24:21,635
Or, actually, noon, you can start at Steakhouse 71, which is open for lunch and it's fantastic.
292
00:24:21,941 --> 00:24:29,635
Have a drink at Steakhouse 71, they start putting people on the wait list at 1.
293
00:24:29,635 --> 00:24:36,635
Well, the nice thing is, though, all three of these resorts make a good starting and ending point because they all have multiple spots.
294
00:24:36,635 --> 00:24:42,795
Multiple spots so you can start at one bar, make the full circuit, and finish at the same
295
00:24:42,795 --> 00:24:46,795
resort at a different length.
296
00:24:46,795 --> 00:24:56,275
For Enchanted Rose, I'm trying to hit it before 9 o'clock.
297
00:24:56,464 --> 00:25:01,815
I would say if you can do the pub crawl starting in the afternoon, it's going to be a lot less
298
00:25:01,815 --> 00:25:06,295
crowded, then it will be, you know, around dinnertime, post park closure.
299
00:25:06,855 --> 00:25:10,517
Yes, because around dinnertime, you're also going to have people who are waiting for.
300
00:25:11,939 --> 00:25:19,335
Reservations. They may stop in there on their way to Cedrico's or Victorian Alberts or even maybe Narcoossees. You never know.
301
00:25:20,500 --> 00:25:28,695
Oh, that's another reason why I think starting at the poly was definitely the right choice. It puts you in rotation, the order and the time that we
302
00:25:28,695 --> 00:25:29,062
Freedom.
303
00:25:29,665 --> 00:25:34,075
We did it in was the best and it wasn't even that we're geniuses.
304
00:25:34,075 --> 00:25:36,115
It just kind of worked out that way.
305
00:25:36,555 --> 00:25:40,955
You just go with the flow with it. You know, don't feel like you've got to like leave within the hour.
306
00:25:40,955 --> 00:25:43,735
Just when everyone seems to be done, you're like, are we ready to move on?
307
00:25:43,735 --> 00:25:51,035
And for us, it was here that we got the notification that our reservation at Trader Sam's was ready to go.
308
00:25:53,755 --> 00:26:02,175
Back at the Polynesian for Trader Sam's where we were greeted by just a little bit of chaos, but in the best possible way.
309
00:26:02,175 --> 00:26:05,175
Two shots of rum!
310
00:26:05,521 --> 00:26:09,175
See, there you heard a little bit about flavor here at Trader Sam's.
311
00:26:09,175 --> 00:26:14,175
Every drink comes with like a little interactive, a bit of show that happens.
312
00:26:14,175 --> 00:26:17,675
That was Hippopotamai time? Yes, the Hippopotamai time.
313
00:26:17,827 --> 00:26:21,175
They said we can only call them the hippopotamists. We can get two shots of rum.
314
00:26:21,175 --> 00:26:29,908
The first was on me that we slot delivered. What was it? The server had on weird googly eyes. Yeah.
315
00:26:30,175 --> 00:26:35,175
For those classic eyeballs on a spring glass. Yeah. Dragging one of her feet.
316
00:26:35,381 --> 00:26:41,775
Yeah. During the rain storm, the Oa, they take a spray bottle and just squirt all over the place.
317
00:26:42,124 --> 00:26:45,775
So it's like getting rained upon. So wear your vest. It is a ton of fun.
318
00:26:45,775 --> 00:26:48,984
So it's, what's Trader Sam's all about?
319
00:26:49,443 --> 00:26:57,113
Oh, if you haven't visited Trader Sam's is the Tiki bar, a heart much all Tiki bars, which could be, well, yeah.
320
00:26:57,335 --> 00:27:00,083
Tiki bar at Disney's Polynesian. That's right.
321
00:27:00,444 --> 00:27:04,909
And the Disneyland. Disney's Disneyland. That's right.
322
00:27:05,125 --> 00:27:08,744
So it's definitely a kind of a loudy experience.
323
00:27:09,176 --> 00:27:13,775
There's a lot of chanting that comes along with the drinks. Unfortunately, people already just,
324
00:27:13,884 --> 00:27:18,175
often enough that you catch on really quick to the kind of ceremony that goes with each one.
325
00:27:18,175 --> 00:27:21,375
If you've never been to Trader Sam's, It's a one-of-a-kind experience.
326
00:27:21,375 --> 00:27:26,375
Think a Hawaiian-Polynesian speakeasy.
327
00:27:27,604 --> 00:27:32,915
Of sorts, right? Wouldn't you say that has a lot of magic and surprises that only Disney can do.
328
00:27:33,401 --> 00:27:36,933
And as Dan was saying on that soundbite, you know, that there are little moments
329
00:27:36,933 --> 00:27:43,573
that happen with a lot of the drinks that you can order that are interactive for the entire space to enjoy.
330
00:27:43,573 --> 00:27:49,093
Now, these moments, though, are only on the indoor portion of Trader Sam's.
331
00:27:49,093 --> 00:27:54,053
So that is a difference and a reason we wanted to get a reservation to experience that.
332
00:27:54,053 --> 00:28:05,656
Highly themed special effects tiki bar each Not each one many of the drinks trigger reactions and.
333
00:28:07,727 --> 00:28:18,773
Group yeah group interplay with Drinks that you order would be like we're group recall and response things. It's really really fun
334
00:28:18,773 --> 00:28:26,213
A rainstorm happens and your the waitstaff gets out their spray bottles and spritzes everybody. Yeah, like the you
335
00:28:26,213 --> 00:28:31,033
order a drink and everybody's, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
336
00:28:31,033 --> 00:28:33,473
And there's- Make a sacrifice to a piece.
337
00:28:33,713 --> 00:28:34,932
And just get- Oh, oh, oh.
338
00:28:35,353 --> 00:28:38,334
Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh.
339
00:28:38,469 --> 00:28:40,954
Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh. Oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh.
340
00:28:41,353 --> 00:28:43,115
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
341
00:28:43,484 --> 00:28:44,353
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Oh, oh, oh, oh.
342
00:28:44,353 --> 00:29:00,113
We had a lot of fun there.
343
00:29:00,795 --> 00:29:05,593
This is my favorite bar in the whole wide world. Yeah, I am.
344
00:29:05,782 --> 00:29:12,561
I have a bar in my what used to be my garage that I am slowly but surely turning into this place.
345
00:29:13,245 --> 00:29:19,205
It's so cool. Trying to add triggers and effects and lighting and things till it eventually is this place.
346
00:29:20,753 --> 00:29:23,562
It'll never be as good as this place. I don't know how to do that stuff, but,
347
00:29:24,993 --> 00:29:32,793
I can get at a home level It's like it's like a tiki bar in a in a Hollywood movie. It's like if if Peewee Herman,
348
00:29:33,713 --> 00:29:39,193
Stop at a tiki bar on his big adventure. Yeah, that's what Trader Sam's would be. Yeah, really?
349
00:29:39,633 --> 00:29:51,753
There are trick stools that move up and down and Yeah, there's a stool at the bar that the bartender has control of a button that makes
350
00:29:51,753 --> 00:29:57,635
it ever so slowly get shorter and shorter and shorter and shorter.
351
00:29:57,734 --> 00:30:04,413
And I was victim to it. I know that this exists at the one in California, but I was at the one in Florida and did not
352
00:30:04,413 --> 00:30:08,733
noticed till I was damn near on the floor.
353
00:30:08,321 --> 00:30:14,199
And it's not just the bar stools at the bar, it's also on the surfboard table in the center. Those move too.
354
00:30:14,370 --> 00:30:17,975
And you don't notice it, it goes so slowly. You don't notice you're sinking
355
00:30:17,975 --> 00:30:20,895
till you can't reach your drink. And you're like, what the hell?
356
00:30:21,050 --> 00:30:25,735
So I told the bartender, like, hey, I've shrunken so much, I can't reach my drink.
357
00:30:25,735 --> 00:30:28,935
And they have at the ready, five foot straws.
358
00:30:28,935 --> 00:30:33,735
Giant straws. That they will put in your drink and give you so that they don't raise your seat,
359
00:30:33,851 --> 00:30:37,236
they give you a long straw so that you can reach your drink.
360
00:30:37,641 --> 00:30:41,935
And they leave you sitting two feet off the floor on a tiny little bar stool.
361
00:30:42,557 --> 00:30:47,615
It's fun. Stuff like that, it's just so amazing. It's great, and then just within 20 minutes of being there,
362
00:30:47,787 --> 00:30:52,935
you know, it's a smaller drink menu, so a lot of the effects happen often.
363
00:30:53,089 --> 00:30:59,841
So you start to learn them and all the callback phrases. So it's fun to be a part of the experience while you're there.
364
00:30:59,913 --> 00:31:02,715
It feels like you're partying with everybody in the bar at once,
365
00:31:02,884 --> 00:31:06,695
especially because there's a good chance, we just, it's pretty small, we just got,
366
00:31:06,695 --> 00:31:09,775
What like 50 people 51 people can sit in there?
367
00:31:09,975 --> 00:31:13,735
There's a chance if you're at the surfboard you might be seated with another party
368
00:31:13,735 --> 00:31:16,675
It's kind of communal table you might be standing in the middle of the room,
369
00:31:17,440 --> 00:31:21,255
I had one cheek. I had one cheek on it on a chair for about.
370
00:31:25,218 --> 00:31:29,955
Yeah, you have to trade up or one of your butt cheeks will go numb It's true,
371
00:31:31,619 --> 00:31:37,635
Luckily cams a skinny guy so he was able to get most of his butt cheeks on there
372
00:31:37,635 --> 00:31:44,795
Let's figure that you know I could eat and they have food there, too Good food I got the lettuce wraps that were there,
373
00:31:46,355 --> 00:31:49,835
So they have some other little bites and.
374
00:31:52,555 --> 00:31:57,075
Tacos yeah, yeah, there's tacos. There's a there's a sushi Hmm.
375
00:31:57,951 --> 00:32:06,287
If I was a good MHF, I would look it up right now, but... This was also where we learned about secret menus.
376
00:32:06,287 --> 00:32:11,292
This is the best part. If you've tuned in, this is what it's about, folks, right here.
377
00:32:11,625 --> 00:32:16,607
Is there like a secret menu? Oh, the Trader Sam's? Yeah. What's up? It's a secret.
378
00:32:17,017 --> 00:32:19,607
I want something secret. It's a secret menu, Alex. I'm so excited for Trader Sam's secret menu.
379
00:32:19,607 --> 00:32:20,607
I've never actually done this.
380
00:32:20,861 --> 00:32:23,607
She asked if there was a secret menu. She said yes. That's a bonus.
381
00:32:23,607 --> 00:32:24,887
Oh, I've never actually done this.
382
00:32:24,887 --> 00:32:29,047
She asked if there was a secret menu. She said yes. I said, what's a secret menu?
383
00:32:29,047 --> 00:32:33,207
I said, how do I get to the secret menu? She said, something like a secret menu roulette.
384
00:32:33,207 --> 00:32:37,367
And I said, yes. She goes, OK. So something's coming.
385
00:32:38,974 --> 00:32:43,047
Yeah, so this one is so secret that you don't even know what you're ordering.
386
00:32:43,376 --> 00:32:46,567
That's right. You just have to go with it. It was secret menu roulette.
387
00:32:47,607 --> 00:32:53,527
And that was amazing. Yeah, we had so much fun that we ended up getting every single one.
388
00:32:53,527 --> 00:32:56,663
Every single one. We did one at a time.
389
00:32:57,068 --> 00:33:01,487
And then we started getting the rest of the bar involved or like patrons next to us were going, what's that?
390
00:33:01,487 --> 00:33:05,767
What's that? Tables on either side of us also ordered from the secret.
391
00:33:05,927 --> 00:33:09,780
And they had kids menu, secret menus, or secret menus.
392
00:33:10,247 --> 00:33:14,087
So we had kids that were doing non-alcoholic secret menu stuff.
393
00:33:14,087 --> 00:33:17,279
So it's fun for the whole family, but the secret menu roulette.
394
00:33:18,359 --> 00:33:22,746
Was by far my favorite thing of the entire pub crawl this time our server. What was it Christina?
395
00:33:23,733 --> 00:33:28,626
Super she was amazing super and she just guessed she was like
396
00:33:28,626 --> 00:33:33,066
I'm just gonna do a secret menu and everyone that everyone that she guessed
397
00:33:33,066 --> 00:33:41,045
She was just like bit by what we had ordered She guessed who we were and what we would like and she frickin pegged it every single time. Yes
398
00:33:41,306 --> 00:33:49,826
Yeah, cuz we had done regular drinks on the menu. We all did a first round We had all had a round or two before we did this.
399
00:33:50,686 --> 00:33:56,126
And then when she did it, like she she ordered like I got my secret drink.
400
00:33:56,126 --> 00:33:58,426
I was like, this is the best thing I've ever had. What is this?
401
00:33:58,941 --> 00:34:02,366
She's what do you think it is? I said, it's kind of like an old fashioned.
402
00:34:03,019 --> 00:34:07,475
She goes, it's a rum based old fashioned. Like, how would you know?
403
00:34:07,790 --> 00:34:11,826
I would love I love old fashioned like when I'm not a tiki guy.
404
00:34:12,534 --> 00:34:17,486
I am an old fan like my favorite thing in the world is rum. I mean is old-fashioned
405
00:34:17,486 --> 00:34:25,381
I'm a bourbon guy when I'm not Peaking and she goes I just knew that and I was like is it because I'm 53 and fat.
406
00:34:28,286 --> 00:34:35,256
Gentleman of a certain age you're a guy Tell you like a flat cap and you probably drink old-fashioned 100%.
407
00:34:35,326 --> 00:34:42,476
I feel like she just pegged it. It was like every one of us, she nailed it.
408
00:34:42,818 --> 00:34:49,166
Yeah. I'd like to know how she got Heather on the gin thing because your previous orders were not ginger.
409
00:34:49,166 --> 00:34:54,926
No, none of everything I had before that was rum-based. Even Cameron hates coconut rum.
410
00:34:54,926 --> 00:34:58,977
She brought him a coconut rum drink and he was like, oh, gross, I hate it.
411
00:34:59,103 --> 00:35:01,006
But it was delicious. So good.
412
00:35:01,147 --> 00:35:02,857
Yes, it's called the heart of Polynesia.
413
00:35:03,505 --> 00:35:09,406
Yes, they couldn't say to Feetie. She said I think you're a guy that would not normally like coconut
414
00:35:09,406 --> 00:35:16,126
Yes, I could I rum but it was like it was good. I don't know how she did it. It was so good
415
00:35:16,126 --> 00:35:20,066
But it was great green. Sorry, but yeah, it was really cool cuz it glowed like.
416
00:35:22,206 --> 00:35:30,046
But yours that gin drink was my favorite of the entire Was called so folks can order it is
417
00:35:30,046 --> 00:35:33,046
Wait, did she say this was specially selected for you?
418
00:35:33,046 --> 00:35:38,046
Oh wow. Heather has a bespoke TV drink. It matches her dress.
419
00:35:38,046 --> 00:35:40,919
It does match my dress. So take a sip. What are we tasting?
420
00:35:41,081 --> 00:35:44,046
What are we tasting? She's making yummy sides. Passion fruit.
421
00:35:44,484 --> 00:35:47,046
It's delicious. It's tart. I think there might be some hash.
422
00:35:47,481 --> 00:35:49,046
I can pick out a drink. That is a gin.
423
00:35:49,129 --> 00:35:53,046
What's the gin one? What's it called? Grunt's Grub. Oh, Grunt's Grub.
424
00:35:53,046 --> 00:35:59,046
Oh, Grunt's Grub. Oh. I won't do that anymore. What's it called? Grunzgrog.
425
00:35:59,472 --> 00:36:04,046
Oh, Grunzgrog. That's right. Grunzgrog. Oh, yeah. I think now, ugh, it's so good.
426
00:36:04,046 --> 00:36:09,366
It was so good. Yeah. Gin and passion fruit, and ugh, it was delicious.
427
00:36:09,366 --> 00:36:12,967
But Dan, your drink was the last one. And a side note about our...
428
00:36:13,894 --> 00:36:17,144
Fantastic server, Christina, correct? Yes.
429
00:36:17,144 --> 00:36:24,304
She is a budding tiki bar enthusiast, has been for quite some time, and she actually
430
00:36:24,304 --> 00:36:27,984
created this one that Dan got, which was called?
431
00:36:27,984 --> 00:36:34,851
Oh my god. Mine was the Sharkbait Oohaha. Yes! Oh, the leaf is like a shark fin! Oh, that's yummy.
432
00:36:35,384 --> 00:36:43,215
Sharkbait Oohaha. It's very fun. Oh, it made me eat. Describe the flavor, Dan.
433
00:36:43,368 --> 00:36:45,042
I'm not good at that.
434
00:36:45,264 --> 00:36:51,884
There's definitely a lemony... Hold on. There's lemony... That's very good. Yes.
435
00:36:52,264 --> 00:36:54,264
Very. How about that?
436
00:36:54,782 --> 00:36:59,264
It's chin. Yeah, I think it's chin. How does it say it's chin? Oh, girl. It's chin.
437
00:36:59,264 --> 00:37:03,264
What? It has muzy. Really? It's really good.
438
00:37:03,264 --> 00:37:07,264
It's really good. Oh, what is she? What does she pour in it? Chin and yuzu.
439
00:37:07,264 --> 00:37:10,264
Yuzu. Describe it, Dan. We were very enthusiastic about all of the drinks.
440
00:37:10,264 --> 00:37:15,224
It was like a bright aquamarine blue with a glow cube in it
441
00:37:15,404 --> 00:37:19,824
There was like a palm frond or a banana leaf or something sticking up out of it
442
00:37:19,824 --> 00:37:25,984
That looked like a shark fin and then she poured in a shoot of grenadine
443
00:37:25,984 --> 00:37:31,984
It looked like blood in the water Oh yeah, that was amazing It was so good
444
00:37:31,984 --> 00:37:35,842
It was a delicious drink, it was also Hendrix gin in that one And yuzu
445
00:37:35,984 --> 00:37:37,696
Oh yeah,
446
00:37:38,164 --> 00:37:47,680
I remember what the blue stuff was There's some lemon some lemon in there. It was it was really good. She was amazing. She looked like a pinup
447
00:37:47,984 --> 00:37:56,824
She had the whole tiki like retro tiki Billy vibe going and she has a she has a

453
00:38:43,467 --> 00:38:54,485
You know it's speaking of we had such great service, you know, Disney's But you know, we're not exaggerating here. We had fantastic service at all the locations we went to on this pub crawl,
454
00:38:55,125 --> 00:39:00,785
So just you know Thinking of that being a former cast member myself, you know
455
00:39:01,125 --> 00:39:03,605
Take care of your your cast member in the great
456
00:39:03,845 --> 00:39:09,685
That are taking care of you at Disney because they work really hard to make that magic for you
457
00:39:09,685 --> 00:39:14,925
So show him some love we really did and everywhere we went by the way we were
458
00:39:14,925 --> 00:39:20,045
were recording and we were pretty obvious that we were recording and we let them know
459
00:39:20,045 --> 00:39:25,525
and they were all a ton of fun with it and had no problem and and we're in on the fun
460
00:39:25,525 --> 00:39:33,045
and we're wide open with it and so that was that was great because nobody was weird about
461
00:39:33,045 --> 00:39:37,885
us recording and having fun with it right now just a side note about Trader Sam's and
462
00:39:37,885 --> 00:39:43,539
we brought this up at the beginning of our podcast but this is a location where those,
463
00:39:43,998 --> 00:39:48,505
Those under 18 are no longer allowed to be in there after 8 p.m.
464
00:39:48,505 --> 00:39:52,125
So just keep that in mind, at least as of this date on this podcast.
465
00:39:52,125 --> 00:39:56,880
That is what happens at Trader Sam's. Before 8, they are welcome.
466
00:39:57,240 --> 00:39:58,321
And there are mocktails.
467
00:39:59,045 --> 00:40:04,125
After 8, gotta get out. We were there when that magical moment happened.
468
00:40:04,125 --> 00:40:07,405
Yes, and they do a whole little thing, yeah.
469
00:40:07,405 --> 00:40:11,491
Yeah, they were like, everybody's welcome, but at 8 o'clock, I forget what the whole
470
00:40:11,536 --> 00:40:15,587
ceremony was, but it was awesome. You are welcome to step outside.
471
00:40:15,920 --> 00:40:19,685
Yes. Yes. That's what it was. Yeah.
472
00:40:19,685 --> 00:40:22,204
Everybody's welcome, but at eight o'clock, you're welcome to step somewhere else.
473
00:40:22,305 --> 00:40:26,005
And it was under 18. Was that what it was, or was it under 21?
474
00:40:26,005 --> 00:40:31,368
It was 21. I think it was 18. I think it was 18.
475
00:40:31,485 --> 00:40:38,246
I think 18 could be in there and can't drink, but I think it was under 18, had to leave at 8 p.m.
476
00:40:38,831 --> 00:40:45,405
Yeah. that the kids that were in there were cute and well-behaved and...
477
00:40:44,340 --> 00:40:47,842
Not annoying at all. Yeah, they were all enjoying the special effect.
478
00:40:48,247 --> 00:40:52,450
Only one of them was passed out on a bench and that was because it was nappy time.
479
00:40:52,450 --> 00:40:54,490
Yes. Yeah, he'd been over sir.
480
00:40:56,070 --> 00:40:58,850
But we woke Dan up, so don't worry. Yeah.
481
00:41:01,013 --> 00:41:06,450
You know, guys, I know you're surprised, but I could eat. And it was at this point in our pub crawl
482
00:41:06,450 --> 00:41:13,370
that we actually made a little dinner reservation to break up our pub crawl, right Heather?
483
00:41:13,370 --> 00:41:17,690
And we headed back to the Grand Floridian for some Citricos.
484
00:41:17,690 --> 00:41:20,370
But first, Dan had to go through security, which we've talked about.
485
00:41:20,370 --> 00:41:26,570
Again. Again. He had a bag check again. So I did. This is bag check two for you if you're counting.
486
00:41:26,939 --> 00:41:30,570
OK, but we made it back to the Grand Floridian for dinner at Citricos.
487
00:41:30,570 --> 00:41:35,890
At least bag check six. And we had some lovely, lovely drinks with dinner at Citricos.
488
00:41:37,013 --> 00:41:42,610
That's right. And I somehow I know I was recording, but I couldn't find the audio from Citricos at all.
489
00:41:42,610 --> 00:41:50,430
So let's just talk about what we had at citric ohs Oh, I think that might have been on my phone, and I never gave it to you that was on your phone,
490
00:41:51,490 --> 00:41:54,650
whoops Yeah, cuz mine had yeah,
491
00:41:55,970 --> 00:42:04,530
No, I had gotten some liquid in my In the jack where you plug in the microphone wasn't working,
492
00:42:05,478 --> 00:42:12,210
Yeah, I was a sloppy boy. I tell you what jack liquid is I knew that was coming and I didn't stop myself.
493
00:42:20,917 --> 00:42:27,450
Boy please use that in the outtake, please I'm not cutting this out, you think I'm cutting this out?
494
00:42:28,362 --> 00:42:35,450
Back to the drinks. Do you want to jump straight to the drinks or talk about our food first?
495
00:42:35,450 --> 00:42:42,450
Oh, everything. We started off with some delicious drinks. I had a passion fruit margarita.
496
00:42:42,936 --> 00:42:45,450
I had a wonderful cocktail that had the boba balls in it.
497
00:42:46,141 --> 00:42:47,158
Delicious!
498
00:42:47,932 --> 00:42:52,882
I had I actually opted since we had been doing this for quite some time at this point
499
00:42:52,882 --> 00:42:55,682
I went for the zero proof menu. They have,
500
00:42:56,202 --> 00:43:03,262
Probably one of the largest zero proof menus of the places we stopped here at Citrico's with
501
00:43:03,682 --> 00:43:08,043
Options that aren't just like let's throw some juice and some sprite in a cup,
502
00:43:09,482 --> 00:43:13,942
Although there's a couple like that, but I had the London dry juniper seltzer,
503
00:43:14,482 --> 00:43:22,842
which was Sinchona bark and smoked rosemary blend it up with some citrus lemongrass and juniper aromatics,
504
00:43:23,402 --> 00:43:27,282
Really good. It was you basically had yard work in your glass.
505
00:43:37,922 --> 00:43:49,802
Zero Like it was a good kind of almost a zero proof gin drink But not it was it's a little smokiness from kind of like the wood bark kind of it was interesting
506
00:43:49,802 --> 00:43:56,822
I've never tasted anything like it. I love the listeners out there. Can you explain what zero proof cocktails are zero proof cocktails?
507
00:43:57,222 --> 00:44:04,821
Let's not call them mocktails. They're they're You know thoughtfully blended interesting drinks that blend together.
508
00:44:07,143 --> 00:44:19,102
Interesting flavors Yes, zero zero proof You know what's weird though, they will not serve those to a child because some of them do have a,
509
00:44:21,102 --> 00:44:25,462
Trace amount of alcohol left in them if they use like bitters or something in it
510
00:44:25,902 --> 00:44:33,466
Narcosis has a few on the menu that they you they won't serve to anyone under 21 because there is still a little bit of
511
00:44:33,853 --> 00:44:40,002
Alcohol in it. Most of the ones at at citric hose are okay for kids and they will serve them. They
512
00:44:40,002 --> 00:44:44,042
don't. So if I'm a recovering alcoholic, should I have these?
513
00:44:45,169 --> 00:44:57,043
You should look at the specific ones like for example, that you have ever been a recovering alcoholic. You should check with
514
00:44:57,349 --> 00:45:02,402
your server though, if it's something where you do not want any alcohol because for example, there's one that's called
515
00:45:02,402 --> 00:45:06,242
spirit-free gin and tonic, but it's made with.
516
00:45:09,556 --> 00:45:14,322
Really? Yeah. They've, they've removed most of the alcohol from it.
517
00:45:14,322 --> 00:45:15,882
There still is a little bit.
518
00:45:16,713 --> 00:45:23,162
It's like, it's like, uh, Oh, duals. Yeah. There's a, there's a whole line called people that just want to smell
519
00:45:23,162 --> 00:45:26,402
drunk. Right. There's a whole line called seed lip.
520
00:45:26,993 --> 00:45:31,482
And that's what they use at Narcooses. And, uh, they use it at the,
521
00:45:31,836 --> 00:45:37,242
in a drink at Steakhouse 71, maybe even the one here at Citrico's, and it does, it has a little
522
00:45:37,242 --> 00:45:41,402
bit of alcohol in it, but not enough. I mean, you'd have to drink gallons and gallons of it
523
00:45:41,402 --> 00:45:46,519
to get drunk, but technically because it's in there, they can't sell it to kids.
524
00:45:47,861 --> 00:45:51,371
It's still really good, though, yeah. It was great, and we, you know,
525
00:45:51,371 --> 00:45:55,072
cause we were really doing an all day experience here. It's important to eat.
526
00:45:55,549 --> 00:45:58,988
Yes. Maybe a little more than just, you know, the apps that you can get at the bars.
527
00:45:59,456 --> 00:46:00,617
So having dinner was great.
528
00:46:01,051 --> 00:46:06,691
Citrico's is amazing. It was a good restaurant before. The food has always been great,
529
00:46:06,691 --> 00:46:09,131
but it was in bad need of a facelift.
530
00:46:09,376 --> 00:46:14,171
And boy, did they get one. It's beautiful now. Yeah. And this was my first time enjoying,
531
00:46:14,171 --> 00:46:19,131
I'm a bit behind on enjoying the new version of it, But it was so delicious.
532
00:46:19,131 --> 00:46:26,331
And I have to say the best filet mignon I have ever, ever had was served.
533
00:46:26,597 --> 00:46:31,063
Ever, ever. Ever in your life. Because it was, because the way they had,
534
00:46:31,431 --> 00:46:36,731
it was smoked in the marinade. My sister-in-law said that when we went there last March.
535
00:46:37,013 --> 00:46:39,039
It was incredible. Incredible.
536
00:46:39,389 --> 00:46:45,880
It's so good. They have that wood-fired grill that they finish it on. Yeah.
537
00:46:46,529 --> 00:46:51,951
I had some popcorn soup to start. That was delicious. That's so weird.
538
00:46:51,951 --> 00:46:57,160
Sweet corn bisque. Oh, it was yummy. That was served in a teapot, remember?
539
00:46:57,331 --> 00:46:58,376
Very Mary Poppins.
540
00:46:58,781 --> 00:47:04,857
Yes. Short and stout. Yes. And it did have some popcorn in it.
541
00:47:05,082 --> 00:47:08,791
You know what I liked is how they pointed out both where the handle and the spout was.
542
00:47:10,412 --> 00:47:17,861
It was very kind of them Everything on that menu. I've tried most of it. They have some,
543
00:47:18,861 --> 00:47:23,341
guava barbecue short ribs That's what I have those were in,
544
00:47:24,500 --> 00:47:27,861
Credible days and I both had that we fed each other we,
545
00:47:29,261 --> 00:47:33,901
We actually we actually you know scooch down just to give the two of them a moment. Yeah
546
00:47:33,901 --> 00:47:38,541
Yeah, we we crossed arms or a gentle kisses. It was magical,
547
00:47:40,182 --> 00:47:48,141
Yeah, it was had an Olin Mills style photo shoot I Figured turnabout was fair play.
548
00:47:52,911 --> 00:48:03,701
Not a sponsor this podcast not yet. Yeah, I had some tile fish There's some shrimps on top. Oh so good floor you,
549
00:48:06,021 --> 00:48:09,281
How did you know I was looking for a grout joke.
550
00:48:15,701 --> 00:48:22,141
Just excellent menu highly recommend citric us our server there was exceptional as well
551
00:48:22,141 --> 00:48:30,881
He was a ton of fun and really really good They also have a fleet of people like the server itself himself was great,
552
00:48:31,341 --> 00:48:37,961
But then like when your food is bringing being brought out they have like there were six five of us
553
00:48:38,221 --> 00:48:43,341
Eating so five people bring it out so that all of your food arrives exactly at the same moment,
554
00:48:44,269 --> 00:48:47,421
Mm-hmm. I just love that and those fine dining places,
555
00:48:48,860 --> 00:48:53,091
and just to remind you that if you don't want to have dinner and want to just enjoy citrus at the bar as,
556
00:48:54,028 --> 00:48:56,314
As part of the pub crawl, you can do that. Yeah, that's right.
557
00:48:57,501 --> 00:49:03,417
There's a lovely bar and lounge and also the full menu available right there at the bar. Boom.
558
00:49:04,074 --> 00:49:09,501
But you know what? We had one more resort to get to. Still another spot on the list.
559
00:49:09,501 --> 00:49:16,704
And I got to tell you, if I'm being honest, I hardly remember this stuff.
560
00:49:17,946 --> 00:49:21,597
I mean, as Dan mentioned, we did eight and a half hours. Is that what it was clocked?
561
00:49:21,597 --> 00:49:24,037
It was eight and a half hours. I'm surprised.
562
00:49:24,203 --> 00:49:29,077
OK, well, if we're let's just get us there. So we're heading over to Disney's Contemporary Resort
563
00:49:29,077 --> 00:49:37,557
and we decided to try the lounge at Steakhouse 71. Because there are there are lots of great options at the Contemporary.
564
00:49:38,084 --> 00:49:43,517
There's the wave upstairs or outer rim, outer rim job upstairs.
565
00:49:45,259 --> 00:49:56,177
Terrific place. But they have kind of odd hours up there But the the servers and all downstairs at Steakhouse 71 formerly the wave,
566
00:49:57,124 --> 00:50:06,257
Fantastic. So great. Yeah, they may know us on site They do know us on hundred percent soon as we walk in there. They know I want an old-fashioned
567
00:50:06,657 --> 00:50:08,657
a lot of time at that bar.
568
00:50:10,177 --> 00:50:15,297
Before we dive into Steakhouse 71 I will also put it in a little plug for California Grill
569
00:50:15,297 --> 00:50:22,297
That is and thank you so and stop and I recently was introduced to a fabulous drink,
570
00:50:23,024 --> 00:50:32,177
Also a secret menu. You're welcome. Yes called a sake martini Say it again so good the sake martini. It's delicious,
571
00:50:32,737 --> 00:50:34,737
Yeah, I had never tried this,
572
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:40,217
dine at California Grill all the time until cam and Hannah introduced me to this drink and
573
00:50:40,217 --> 00:50:45,466
And you have to be a little bit lucky to have a bartender who knows how to make it.
574
00:50:46,232 --> 00:50:51,577
If it's a newer bartender, they might not. We've never been told no when we've ordered it.
575
00:50:51,867 --> 00:50:53,777
So your chances are really good.
576
00:50:53,902 --> 00:50:57,297
Yeah. When, you know, I've been doing the pub crow for years now.
577
00:50:57,297 --> 00:51:04,577
And when I started, I used to always start at the contemporary cause it was the easiest
578
00:51:04,577 --> 00:51:09,377
hotel to park at as a cast member.
579
00:51:09,629 --> 00:51:13,217
I used to always start at the Contemporary and also because I'd love to start at California Grill
580
00:51:13,217 --> 00:51:16,217
back when you could just go up.
581
00:51:15,300 --> 00:51:19,260
More easily, it just sits at the bar. Before they started their pre-fixed menu.
582
00:51:19,260 --> 00:51:21,540
I loved starting up there for the sunset.
583
00:51:21,791 --> 00:51:24,380
So if you're gonna do an evening pub crawl, it's a beautiful place to start,
584
00:51:24,380 --> 00:51:26,340
the sunset view up there.
585
00:51:26,340 --> 00:51:30,540
But the Sake Martini used to be on their menu for years and years and years and years and years.
586
00:51:30,540 --> 00:51:39,260
It's basically a legacy drink now. But yeah, think of it like a pineapple 50-50 bar, right?
587
00:51:41,020 --> 00:51:44,423
Yeah, it's real good. It's a little bit of vanilla and the pineapple,
588
00:51:44,917 --> 00:51:48,220
Yep, liquor 43 is the vanilla,
589
00:51:48,474 --> 00:51:51,940
and there's some pineapple, passion fruit, yeah.
590
00:51:51,940 --> 00:51:55,580
And it has an edible flower in there. Folks, it tastes like juice.
591
00:51:55,580 --> 00:51:58,660
It is dangerous in the best way.
592
00:51:58,952 --> 00:52:04,220
Yes, so good. But we didn't go there because we didn't have reservations.
593
00:52:04,470 --> 00:52:08,740
So we went to Steakhouse 71. We also got there like right in the nick of time.
594
00:52:08,990 --> 00:52:14,460
Yeah, we did. They close at 11, and I think we got there at quarter till.
595
00:52:14,460 --> 00:52:19,100
Last call. Yeah. Yeah. We barely made it to the contemporary to get a drink. So we can
596
00:52:19,100 --> 00:52:25,374
say we made it. Let's take out 71. It's great. It's right off the lobby. Our man, Daniel
597
00:52:25,743 --> 00:52:31,108
saw us coming in and like, Hey, order drinks immediately. Quick, quick, quick. Yeah. My,
598
00:52:31,756 --> 00:52:38,380
favorite drink there is called the last last con. Yes. Because Heather and I are gin fans.
599
00:52:38,380 --> 00:52:41,500
Gin, lemon, raspberry.
600
00:52:42,700 --> 00:52:46,529
Well, we're here to shake out 71. We've made it all down.
601
00:52:47,132 --> 00:52:51,140
The Buffalo. All the way. It has been a long slog. It's been a long one.
602
00:52:51,140 --> 00:52:52,741
It's been an extensive day.
603
00:52:52,948 --> 00:52:55,900
How many hours has it been? Eight hours and 15 minutes.
604
00:52:56,162 --> 00:52:58,460
It generally doesn't feel like that. Of drinking and talking.
605
00:52:58,460 --> 00:53:03,922
Spice clothes, drinking, and fun. Cheers. Cheers to this. Cheers.
606
00:53:04,309 --> 00:53:05,470
So we're at the contemporary.
607
00:53:05,902 --> 00:53:09,460
We're at the contemporary. We were having a lot of fun at this point.
608
00:53:09,647 --> 00:53:11,978
We're being joined by Walter Matthau and the ghost of Harry Carver.
609
00:53:12,951 --> 00:53:18,460
We're drinking. We are drinking the last concourse here at Statehouse 71.
610
00:53:18,460 --> 00:53:22,460
Did you just grab your last drink at the concourse? It is our last drink at the concourse.
611
00:53:22,460 --> 00:53:25,887
And I believe it was also the time when Jeff broke the seal.
612
00:53:26,481 --> 00:53:32,747
And Heather, you did order him his last Old Fashioned for the evening. I did, yes. Yeah?
613
00:53:33,460 --> 00:53:39,860
Was I in the bathroom at this point? Like you're saying how you couldn't remember most of this,
614
00:53:42,451 --> 00:53:48,040
But yeah, you had an old-fashioned Dan, what did you have I had the I think it was cocoa or the chocolate boulevard.
615
00:53:51,820 --> 00:53:53,820
Delightful danced under that name,
616
00:53:57,420 --> 00:54:05,580
That's for an after after dark episode Yes, absolutely. They have a little bit of a riff on a French 75 there.
617
00:54:05,580 --> 00:54:09,380
They call it the French 71. That's another of my favorites.
618
00:54:09,380 --> 00:54:12,843
It's what makes it that one is instead of gin.
619
00:54:13,968 --> 00:54:12,843
It.
620
00:54:13,968 --> 00:54:19,829
Yeah, they replaced the gin with Cognac, Prosecco, a little bit of pear.
621
00:54:20,010 --> 00:54:21,770
Is it Cavatier Cognac?
622
00:54:21,944 --> 00:54:33,490
It is Cavatier, yes. Lady th' man. By the lady th' man. Oh, y'all, true story about me, Cognac was my, like, drink of choice when I started drinking
623
00:54:33,490 --> 00:54:34,313
in college.
624
00:54:34,556 --> 00:54:41,050
With you, lady th' man. Hold on, this is a moment of truth.
625
00:54:41,281 --> 00:54:42,676
Do you remember Alizé? Yes.
626
00:54:43,050 --> 00:54:49,788
Alice. Oh my gosh. I could drink a whole bottle of Alizé and funny enough, with fruit cocktail.
627
00:54:50,886 --> 00:54:59,050
Like with the syrup, fruit cocktail in it. Disgusting. The thought of it now. Bidet.
628
00:54:59,050 --> 00:55:06,850
Viscous. Good word. But cognac. Oh no. You know, I kind of want to try it again.
629
00:55:07,154 --> 00:55:13,850
Well, let's try a French 71 and start there. We'll be there in October, please let's have some.
630
00:55:13,850 --> 00:55:18,850
Do you have any Mott's fruit cocktail around?
631
00:55:19,226 --> 00:55:25,850
I'm going to get one of those little plastic. I want just the little can that you got in your lunch.
632
00:55:25,850 --> 00:55:31,850
With the little pull tab? Yeah, the little pull tab. It's happening, yeah.
633
00:55:31,850 --> 00:55:37,797
True story about me, but that French 71 sounds really good. I always go with the last concourse because it's great.
634
00:55:37,986 --> 00:55:40,930
It's delicious. It's delicious. Yes.
635
00:55:41,074 --> 00:55:46,115
We should mention another drink that we saw served at the bar there the next night that
636
00:55:46,187 --> 00:55:51,890
looked amazing, especially for the size was the 1971 Sunset, which is like a tequila sunrise.
637
00:55:51,890 --> 00:55:57,610
Basically a tequila sunrise. But they use Pog juice. And it's at the giant shareable bowl.
638
00:55:57,610 --> 00:56:02,690
Yes. And it is a giant fish bowl of a shareable drink. It's only 27 bucks.
639
00:56:03,084 --> 00:56:08,954
Yes, it's for two to share but easily four could share this. Yeah, or one,
640
00:56:12,410 --> 00:56:15,410
Yeah, I could stir this thing with my wiener.
641
00:56:19,570 --> 00:56:25,330
Zero proof Jeff There's zero proof I ever did,
642
00:56:27,450 --> 00:56:32,410
Make sure you listen back to our sausage party episode. Yeah, which dropped just a couple of weeks ago
643
00:56:32,410 --> 00:56:37,310
go. What a good plug you did there, Dan. That was great. But yeah, after eight and a half
644
00:56:37,310 --> 00:56:42,990
hours, we did it. Yeah, we were there long past when the kitchen closes, but I have to
645
00:56:42,990 --> 00:56:46,830
give you a tip if you're new to my channel.
646
00:56:44,963 --> 00:56:52,853
Are ever at, just the tip, at Steakhouse 71 Lounge, order the Stack Burger.
647
00:56:53,164 --> 00:56:53,948
It is phenomenal.
648
00:56:57,413 --> 00:57:02,374
When we first met, that's what we ate. I recommend having that while you tempt your friend.
649
00:57:02,896 --> 00:57:07,973
Tell him to come over and join you while you discuss how amazing this burger is.
650
00:57:07,973 --> 00:57:12,693
Long after they've punched. We'll get to this. Tell him about the burger and then we'll get to.
651
00:57:12,987 --> 00:57:18,493
It has pork belly on it, you guys. It is the best burger I've ever had.
652
00:57:18,493 --> 00:57:21,044
It's delicious. We had it multiple times.
653
00:57:21,747 --> 00:57:24,078
I don't know whether Dan ever got to have one.
654
00:57:24,978 --> 00:57:30,733
I didn't get to have it. So I was at Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party the first night.
655
00:57:30,733 --> 00:57:34,971
We left his sweaty ass at the Halloween party.
656
00:57:35,430 --> 00:57:41,773
And we went back over there. They went and got food. I left immediately following the parade
657
00:57:41,773 --> 00:57:44,773
because it was so hot that I had to wring out my shirt.
658
00:57:44,773 --> 00:57:47,933
It was just- Disgusting. You're like, Dan, you really should come join us
659
00:57:47,933 --> 00:57:48,773
over here for this amazing burger.
660
00:57:48,773 --> 00:57:50,973
We're having the greatest burger.
661
00:57:51,229 --> 00:57:53,200
Send him a picture of this burger. This is so good.
662
00:57:53,493 --> 00:57:57,133
I didn't manage to get any food at the Halloween party because the lines were so long.
663
00:57:57,133 --> 00:58:00,013
It was the first night and everybody wanted the exclusive food.
664
00:58:00,013 --> 00:58:02,813
So, you know, it had been several hours.
665
00:58:03,130 --> 00:58:08,792
I get there, kitchen's closed. Kitchen was closed. It had been for quite some time.
666
00:58:09,133 --> 00:58:22,422
Oh man, it had been closed for like two hours. So I settled for a cheeseburger from upstairs at the Contempo Cafe.
667
00:58:22,653 --> 00:58:30,344
They also have peanut butter and jelly chicken wings. I haven't tried those. They're amazing too.
668
00:58:30,938 --> 00:58:39,175
Those are on the menu at the Muppet Labs spot at the Food and Wine Festival, which is in
669
00:58:39,533 --> 00:58:46,453
The Odyssey restaurant, but they also serve them there at steakhouse. They're delicious. These things are it sounds so weird. It's.
670
00:58:48,133 --> 00:58:54,956
Okay, it's like it's like Thai peanut sauce but with the sweet jelly and it's just so it's crispy or good,
671
00:58:55,413 --> 00:59:01,833
Just try them. They also have one of my favorite things that used to be a secret menu item,
672
00:59:02,824 --> 00:59:07,453
When it was the way menu, yes, but now they just went ahead and put it right on the menu in the lounge
673
00:59:07,453 --> 00:59:13,347
It's called bacon and eggs, and it is maple lacquered pork belly.
674
00:59:13,393 --> 00:59:22,413
I was going to say, is it pork belly? Yes, and then cheese grits with a perfect egg on top.
675
00:59:22,973 --> 00:59:27,148
And then they pour this sauce over. Ugh, it's...
676
00:59:29,039 --> 00:59:36,889
So good. Perfect egg. Think about that egg we had in Antarctica. It's a lot like that egg.
677
00:59:37,186 --> 00:59:43,838
We could do a whole episode on that egg. Yes. So good. And we will. And we mean that.
678
00:59:43,937 --> 00:59:49,889
For that egg. The egg. But I can't believe we did it in eight and a half hours.
679
00:59:49,889 --> 00:59:55,889
Eight and a half short hours. Honestly, though, this is the thing I love about the Montreal Pub Crow.
680
00:59:55,889 --> 01:00:03,022
I've done it many times and I know you guys have done it a bunch of times, but I've done
681
01:00:03,112 --> 01:00:10,649
it several times and every time I do it, it's new and it's memorable because of the company you're with.
682
01:00:10,649 --> 01:00:15,969
It's different and fun. The company you are with just adds to it.
683
01:00:15,969 --> 01:00:19,609
And you know, when you're booking a trip to Walt Disney World, there's just so much more
684
01:00:19,609 --> 01:00:25,438
to do just beyond the parks. And this is a great thing to do.
685
01:00:25,729 --> 01:00:32,209
Not parents, you know, young 20s, you know, or older, whatever, anyone can do this.
686
01:00:32,811 --> 01:00:35,129
And it's so much fun. The kids will love riding on the monorail.
687
01:00:35,448 --> 01:00:39,049
Hey, we grownup kids like riding on the monorail. It's fun to do.
688
01:00:39,436 --> 01:00:44,900
And you just have a great evening. It's a great thing to do on a day you are taking a break from parks,
689
01:00:45,441 --> 01:00:48,289
enjoy the pool early in the day, and then do that at night.
690
01:00:48,289 --> 01:00:54,129
Yeah, for sure. And on a day you don't have park tickets, you only spend four times what a park ticket would cost.
691
01:00:54,129 --> 01:01:00,369
But you know what, if it's in the summertime, you're in the air conditioning the whole time
692
01:01:00,369 --> 01:01:03,778
if you stay indoors and you only have to take one shower that day.
693
01:01:03,889 --> 01:01:08,369
Yeah, because other than other than waiting for monorail, you know, the monorails are,
694
01:01:08,568 --> 01:01:11,049
you know, they catch a lot of flack or whatever, but they're pretty cool.
695
01:01:11,484 --> 01:01:19,649
Yeah. Yeah. And what we're going to try next time when it has cooled off a bit is the Skyliner pub crawl. Yeah.
696
01:01:19,316 --> 01:01:25,246
Are we creating this? Has anyone come up with this? I think we're going to be the inventors of this. I really do. TM, TM, TM.
697
01:01:25,681 --> 01:01:30,766
Yes. So the Skyliner Pub Crawl, so that'll be covering Art of Animation, Caribbean Beach,
698
01:01:30,766 --> 01:01:35,486
your favorite, the Riviera. Riviera. We may even dub the song with the Boardwalk.
699
01:01:36,606 --> 01:01:44,766
And then if we are really having fun and it's a great day, Hollywood Studios and Epcot are all on this.
700
01:01:44,766 --> 01:01:48,886
That's true. My favorite bar, the Abracadabra.
701
01:01:49,996 --> 01:01:53,526
The Abracadabra. That's great. And I'd love to take you guys, you know, to the Brown Derby yet.
702
01:01:53,586 --> 01:01:57,526
We're getting drunk. Hollywood Studios. Magical. Wild stomping grounds.
703
01:01:57,526 --> 01:02:00,886
So yes, I would like to go to the Brown Derby with stone granite.
704
01:02:01,609 --> 01:02:07,626
So stick around coming this winter or fall. When it cools off in Florida, the Skyliner.
705
01:02:07,666 --> 01:02:10,566
We'll come down that week. That one week. And we're going to.
706
01:02:10,566 --> 01:02:13,506
I think we decided we were going to do that in January. I think so. Yes.
707
01:02:13,506 --> 01:02:15,392
To coincide with art.
708
01:02:16,247 --> 01:02:18,947
Oh, yes. One of my favorite festivals. Yes. Yeah.
709
01:02:19,386 --> 01:02:26,346
So that's what the arts. We're all going to be next week in no week after next week
710
01:02:26,346 --> 01:02:30,726
after next Disneyland. Yeah, Disneyland, California complex.
711
01:02:31,875 --> 01:02:34,766
So you're saying we should go to Trader Sam's and see if they have a secret menu
712
01:02:34,766 --> 01:02:39,266
to, oh, I think we should maybe do a bar crawl there.
713
01:02:39,707 --> 01:02:48,124
I think we should. Yeah, I think we can make that happen. Okay, you know they did just add booze to like every single low sit-down location in Disneyland, so,
714
01:02:49,546 --> 01:02:52,566
But I love the craftsman bar at Grand Cali.
715
01:02:55,446 --> 01:03:01,766
Yes, we are some drinks and this will be a Pub crawl we have to use our own two feet,
716
01:03:03,364 --> 01:03:07,488
Yeah, it's a shorter crawl It's gonna be a hop. Yes.
717
01:03:11,530 --> 01:03:18,875
Do you think we can get one of those bar mobiles where everybody sits around a keg and pedals?
718
01:03:19,344 --> 01:03:21,621
If anyone can do it, Dan, you can.
719
01:03:21,954 --> 01:03:22,413
You're on it.
720
01:03:22,820 --> 01:03:26,212
I just, I just volunteered myself. You are. You're, you're the producer.
721
01:03:26,482 --> 01:03:30,749
When Cam gets hungry, we're going to stop for that dill pickle corn dog.
722
01:03:31,362 --> 01:03:34,828
You know, I could eat. Yeah. I could eat. I'm getting near his shirt.
723
01:03:35,152 --> 01:03:37,429
I could eat. And I will wear it. I will.
724
01:03:38,140 --> 01:03:44,720
And that's cats. And that's cats. Well, I've devoured this entire conversation.
725
01:03:44,720 --> 01:03:46,620
I loved it. It's been so delightful.
726
01:03:46,720 --> 01:03:51,365
