M2: Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Sisters Sisters. I'm joined today by Mouselit A and Mouselit One. We've made our grand return from our trip, so

M1: Mouse Lit 2 just got like the thing started glitching during the segment that we do right before this and she pressed the boo button like ten times. Anyways, we're here. We made it to the to the main episode. Did you listen?

M2: Anyways, we are here. I listened to you in yes, I was gonna say I did listen to you in Mouse Lit Threes. ⁓ I'm not fully done, but I listened to most of it. And I thought it was interesting, knowing that you are my sister and my brother, that I'm finding out things about you guys from the podcast. For example, Mouse Lit Three closing out his house next week, James. You going on Aquitaine, you painting your dining room, your pool being in the works. I was like, ⁓ this is a good way for me to catch up on my fa the family information.

M1: Well, the Accutane Lore was only in sitting on the ground talking. So for those of you who are interested in that, you can ⁓ subscribe to the Patreon. ⁓ something about my pool, actually. This is an interesting fact. You know my neighbor across the street who we've had sort of like a weird, I don't know, thing with. Today, today, ⁓ he invited me back to I hope he's not listening to this. I really don't think he is. He invited well, I don't care. He invited me back to see his pool. He said we have matching pools. Did you know that our houses have matching pools? And I said,

M2: ⁓

Mouselet A: Yes.

M1: No, I didn't. And he Yes, our pools are built at the same time and they match. Come see mine. So he came back and he showed me his pool and was telling me all about his pool and therefore my pool. So I learned a lot of fun facts about my pool.

M2: That's funny because it sounds like you live in our neighborhood because we know everything about everything from our neighbors as well, who love to talk to us. Which is nice. It's nice to have a little community. I'm happy that you made a friend.

Mouselet A: ⁓ my god.

M1: Ha ha.

Mouselet A: How how did that ⁓ how did that conversation start? Did you running into each other or?

M1: Well, my mailbox is across the street. My mailbox is on his lawn. So I was getting my mail and he saw me and he said, Hello. We've never met. And I wanted to say, Well, we sort of have. But yeah, that's I said you I said you've met my husband and he said, No, I haven't. I said, Okay. Okay, he c you know what? He could be listening to this. And so we d we desperately need to move on. I have something to say. I have a little bone to pick.

Mouselet A: We have

M2: We have I think you thought my husband was the landscaper. Was that you? Yep, it was.

Mouselet A: You've threatened to call the cops on us. ⁓

M2: ⁓ you think that he works on my property. He's not.

M1: And it's called I Did Something Special. And that's called Get a Phone Strap for My Phone. For those of you looking. No. For those of you looking, extremely rude. I recently said having to hold the phone when I'm holding the baby and stuff is too much. I need to be able to just loop my phone like this. So I got this phone strap. I was so excited. Mouselit 2 ridiculed me for it. And everyone, look at the video. Look at that phone strap.

M2: No, see now this is no. Guys, I have a phone strap because of pickpockets in Paris and London. That's why I have it.

Mouselet A: Tension a pick pocket.

M1: But but then what did you tell me today?

M2: I said, This is great, okay? This is amazing. It saved me from dropping my phone many times. So I probably will get like an upgraded one, but well

M1: And I see it's still on. You could get one like mine, do you like?

M2: ⁓ I don't know. Is it comfortable in your hand? I'm worried I would break in, the beads would go everywhere.

M1: ⁓ no, I love it. I love it. Anyways, highly recommend a phone strap. I feel like phone straps are in.

M2: I don't know they are, but Okay, you watch Toppers? It's not Disney Plus?

M1: Other things that are in Yes, I'm finally starting Hopper. It it came out a few days ago on Disney Plus, so we've started it. I keep falling asleep during it. No fault of Hoppers, just because like we watch it at night and then I fall asleep during the movie. So far, I like it. I'm not I'm very unsure where it's going though. So thus far I'll like it. I'll give my full review shortly. And speaking I of of course, Mouse L2 never ever, ever, ever, ever sees movies. You did watch Zootopia too though.

M2: I obviously haven't seen it yet, so I think I watched In no, I haven't watched Inside Out Two yet. I watched I watched Utopia too, yeah.

M1: Wh sorry, when did Inside Out Two come out? Like three, four years ago, maybe? No, no, no. ⁓ okay, and last speaking of movies, I wanted to share a little bit about my thoughts on Toy Story Five. How are you feeling about Toy Story Five?

M2: No, like last year, okay. Yeah. Okay, I think it was good to leave it at Toy Story three. Then I did Toy Story four, which was a mistake. Yeah, I did.

M1: Did you see Toy Story 4? I hate the ending of Toy Story 4. Spoilers ahead! Spoil Spoilers ahead!

M2: I've only seen it once. Spoilers ahead. Skip ahead if you haven't seen this movie. Three, two, one. Woody leaving the troop of toys for Bow Creep?

M1: Like seriously. The whole like I listen, I'm not a huge Toy Story fan. I feel like I'm like the only millennial that isn't like obsessed with Toy Story. It just was not Toy Story was just never a franchise that I personally loved. But like the whole thing to me of Toy Story is Woody and Buzz. Like that's the whole thing. They're best friends. So having Woody leave Buzz like, are you joking? I I cannot stand that choice. They're f

M2: Yes. I like Toy Sarah. I'm not obsessed though. To to go could to go be like a rogue toy at a fair?

Mouselet A: Let me guess in the the fifth movie they're gonna come back together.

M1: Yeah, like So, okay, I assume yes, in which case I'm actually fine with that because I hated the Toy Story 4 ending so much. However, it does kind of seem like Toy Story 5 is heavily gonna center on Jesse. Which, yeah, so M2 very special for you, very special for you.

Mouselet A: ⁓ two, you're gonna love it.

M2: Yeah. The I'm just like they gotta unlock some other lore. Don't just continue the story. Like you gotta tell us something that was like, wow, guess what? In Toy Story 2, this actually happened. Like, I don't know, I'm just that's what I'm gonna say. Like Jesse and Emily. Like, I think that's what I need to see. ⁓ I'm curious to see it. I I'm just like in general, I don't know. I think like

M1: Well, Emily's coming back, apparently. Okay. Just don't like Jesse that much.

M2: It stresses me out knowing that the toys eventually will like not have an owner and like Bonnie's playing with that stupid leapfrog thing. I don't know. I don't know. It's it's hard for me to think about it. ⁓ there isn't

M1: I don't know. I I think everyone is gonna be amped up for Toy Story this summer and I meh.

M2: Well I gonna say there's a new Toy Story thing at Frontierland, ⁓ in the Diamond Horseshoe, which is like very cool lore there, but it's like an unused stage space, it's like restaurant overflow basically, ⁓ in Frontierland. And they're bringing Jesse and and Andy and Woody out and they're doing a little like a little show, which is cute.

M1: watched it. I watched a little clip of it. It is really cute. Bullseye comes out too, which I think is very fun and like unique. And then they have the characters down on the ground doing like line dancing and like teaching the kids dances. I think it's a very good use of space. And like despite the fact that those aren't my favorite characters, it totally makes my personal favorite characters. It makes sense for Frontierland. Kids love them. I think it's amazing and I know it won't stick around past Cool Kids Summer, but I like wish that it would.

M2: Yeah, I think it's a good idea. ⁓ all right, I think that's that's kind of everything we need to chat on. ⁓ I was gonna say there's a ton of news.

M1: That w that was quick, but there's a lot of news. I compiled so much news. Mm-hmm.

M2: You can kick it off.

M1: I'm going to smallest to I'm going smallest to largest, okay? First of all, we're recording this on Monday, June 8th. There was an earthquake in Orlando today, which is so random. ⁓ it was actually an it was an earthquake in Cuba and it hit Orlando. It was like a magnitude six. I I mean I don't think there was any like destruction or anything, but very rare. So that was interesting. I'm sure some people at Disney felt it.

M2: I didn't see that. So interesting. Next up, Tomorrowland. They are they have been undergoing for for many years. In fact, I remember a little bit of ⁓ When it was a huge deal that they demolished the giant monsters ink left floor sign and put this other sign in. Everyone was talking about it. And I remember we were kind of like Everybody was talking about we were like, wait, what was what's the sign that was there? ⁓ they're kind of continuing that transformation, you know, over the past eight, ten years or so. They changed out all of the like people mover beams from like steampunky to like sleek and white. They're getting rid of some of the old, more of the old towers that have like

M1: Everyone was talking about it and we were like we were like okay.

M2: They kind of look like UFOs, I guess. You can see them like across the water. I don't know. How do we feel about this?

M1: Happy. I mean, they're doing this transformation in truly the slowest way ever. Like it it's interesting because typically I feel like when Disney kind of does a transformation, they like to advertise it. They like to be like, look, new, sleek. This one, they can't because they've been doing it for literally like a decade and they're just silently, slowly doing, you now there's a new buzzlight your sign with the opening of the ride, but it's so slow. These things, like seeing them go, I'm like, okay.

M2: Yes. Like Mouse Day, did you even know that they'd r had done any of this stuff?

Mouselet A: No, no I did not.

M1: Yeah. Like and when I was looking at the pictures of the towers they were moving, I was like, ⁓ okay. But like I don't know that I if I hadn't seen this article would I picked up on it the next time I went. I don't even know.

M2: And she goes to Disney a lot. I think I probably would have, but

Mouselet A: I know this is old news, but did we ever talk about the re theming of c or the changing to the Chao Cell Progress?

M1: They're so It's coming, Mouse Liday.

M2: Are you looking at the spreadsheet, Mouse Day? ⁓

Mouselet A: ⁓ that was actually out of my head, so I did not see that.

M1: Okay, but before we get there, did you know that the refreshment port is being turned into an like an actual place called La Poutinerie?

M2: Are you sure because La Poutinerie is next to Canada right now?

M1: N no, that i it's usually a poutine place for festivals, but it's officially becoming Okay, that's what I mean. La Poutinerie. It's it isn't open yet. It's gonna be open soon. It's gonna be open July first.

M2: No, they changed it to a permanent lapoutinerie. ⁓ sorry, when you said the refreshment port, I thought you were talking about the African outpost.

M1: Okay, that's extremely rude to the African outpost. No, I'm I'm talking about the exact place that you're thinking of, which is officially becoming it's it's opening July first. It's posted by Air Canada, and there's gonna be permanent poutine. Yeah, unfortunately Poutine gets a big old

M2: I was like, that's so weird. That's that like is open already. All right, that's the least exciting news ever. I hate Putin. Boo. Not a poutine girl. All right. Next up, when we were at Disneyland Paris, we noticed that some of the trash cans were different. They had solar panels on top. They had foot pedals. You could also use your arm to lower it down. And they're trash compactors. And there's like a lot of lore in how these things work. Like they notify a cast everyone's getting too full, and you have to change them out five times less frequently, one fifth of the time, whatever you want to say. They are bringing these trash cans to

M1: Yeah, we hate protein.

M2: Epcot. They're not replacing all of the other trash cans, just to be clear, but they are replacing some of them. You can't eat on top of them 'cause they're taller and there's a big curved surface. I don't know. I felt good about them for a bit, but then someone said, What if a squirrel gets caught in there? Will they be crushed? And I said, That upsets me. It would be hard, but

M1: It would be hard for squirrel though, 'cause you you have to pull the thing out. It would be impossible, actually. Like a person would have to put a squirrel inside of it and I hope that then they would go get a cast member. My thoughts on them are like I I don't really feel like Disney has a huge trash problem. I guess maybe I guess I guess maybe operationally they have a trash problem. Like for them it's hard to keep up with. But like people really eat on the trash cans at Epcot 'cause they don't have enough tables, which is they should

Mouselet A: Yeah, yeah, no.

M2: It wouldn't Ha ha. I kind of think Epcot does sometimes though.

M1: solve maybe that and then they can replace the trash cans.

M2: I I am kind of sad about that. But ⁓ they're it's cool. I like to see that Disney is trying to like better something that's been around since nineteen fifty five. So that is cool.

M1: I agree. The last thing that came out this week before we get to the carousel of progress, which we forgot to speak about, is we got some new information about Monstropolis. So we they released sort of an article saying that when you enter Monstropolis, it's going to be Human Day, which stands for humans understand monsters are nice. And it's being put on by like a new department in the world of Monsters Inc. called the Department of Human Relations. The ⁓ me too.

M2: I love that. I love that this land has a story. Like, why are we there? Like, yes. Love it.

M1: It makes it makes so much sense. It's so cute. It's such layered theming. I love it. Then they officially announced that they will have the Harry Housens restaurant from the movie, which like isn't really a surprise, but I think is really fun. I'm sure that reservation is gonna be impossible to get.

M2: Yep. Yeah. It's a fun idea.

Mouselet A: Is that the Asian food? Yeah, yeah.

M1: Yeah, like the sushi restaurant, which is so fun. They announced that there will be a theater where about the Vision 3D was basically called the Glob Theater. The question Nelson and I have is is this gonna be the laugh floor? There at one point was concept art that made it seem like it would be. It it would be bizarre.

M2: I just think it would be bizarre if they didn't. I understand that they're gonna have to fill get another theater in Tomorrowland. Bring in something Wally for the love of God. Like that would be so perfect. But Malsa Day is saying, Yay, she loves WALLI. ⁓ it would be so weird if they didn't. It makes perfect sense. Humans are visiting. It just it makes a lot of sense.

M1: Yeah, the laugh floor in itself, like the way it's already set up, yes, fits perfectly in i Monstropolis. Like you're go it's if they don't move it, it would be very strange. So I would assume it's that, but not sure. Yeah, no.

M2: The concept of it, yeah. And put another Monsters Inc. show. I agree. I think they'll move it.

M1: And then ⁓ an article or an interview or something came out with an imagineer who said that their goal is to make Monstropolis as detailed as the Zootopia land in Shanghai, which if you've ever seen that, it's looks amazing. It's so immersive and like layered. So I have very high hopes for Monstropolis, I have to say.

M2: I do too. And I initially I was nervous because I know they're keeping a lot of the old buildings that were there. They're taking out the old studio store in the middle. But now I'm I'm feeling really good about it. So I'm very excited. Okay, the last piece of news that seemingly you didn't discuss last week. The carousel of progress. So a while back last year, they'd announced that they were adding a like walt scene and that kind of like empty part where it's just a curtain. Loved that. But now they've announced that they are

M1: It did.

M2: Completely changing out all of the scenes. So they're adding instead of the like starting in the like end of early nineteen hundreds, say they're gonna start in nineteen sixty nine. We went to the moon in nineteen sixty nine. Not nineteen yeah, but

M1: In nineteen sixty nine, if you know you know.

Mouselet A: Not nineteen sixty eight, but they after.

M2: If you know you know, even Stevens, everybody. ⁓ that's the first scene, which I think is cool. That's a cool year because that's when Walt ⁓ was well right not sixty nine, but like the sixties were when Walt was dreaming of the idea of Epcot and this is like a big moment in time. I think that's very, very cool. Mouse Leday always likes to say that her mom watched the moon landing, right? Yeah.

M1: Yeah.

Mouselet A: Mhm. In the in s in spaceship Earth. I always say, That's my mom right there in that one scene.

M2: Yes. So that one is I think gonna be cute. The next one is what? Nineteen eighty five of Halloween. So nineteen eighty five Halloween. That one is cool 'cause it's actually gonna feature ⁓ Sarah. So she's gonna kinda be the star of the show. John will just be the back handing out candy. Uncle Orville will be there, which is cute. I support this. This toxic relationship. They do.

M1: It's the nineteen eighties, yes. And you know what? Thank God Sarah's gonna be taking the stage. Yes, as we've said, yep, they have a toxic relationship. If you watch Carousel Progress, watch Caro Self Progress in its current iteration and just think about how John talks to Sarah and it's it's a little questionable.

M2: John. John, you're being a little bit rude. ⁓ next up we have nineteen ninety nine with which is New Year's Eve, like preparing for Y two K. I like this one too. I think this hits like a time that a lot of people know. I think it's funny for people to think about, okay, this is like I was talking at work today, I don't know, we were talking about internships and like the co op was like talking about This temporary desk she had, and I like, ⁓ my gosh, when I was an intern, I just had one little tiny square monitor for my desktop and they like, Ha ha, you're aging yourself and I was like But I do feel like like if that feels old, like nineteen ninety nine is like kind of a cool era, I guess I would say.

M1: It's retro now. It's retro now. I think it's fine.

M2: That's yeah. And the last one is going to be the future. I'm the most excited for this scene. I think they're gonna do a really good job with it, making it seem futuristic, but just like horizons, like giving the yeah, giving the sense of the future, but not setting it in a specific moment in time. Mouse Leday, thoughts?

Mouselet A: Well, I was just trying to think the currently the last scene. ⁓ I guess that's the future scene. Okay. 'Cause like that's kind of a jump if it the last scene's nineteen ninety nine and then the and then the next scene right before the future scene. It's a little bit of a it's already like it's a thirty year jump now already. Ish. Okay. Yeah. Yeah.

M1: It's that's how it is now s sort of how it is now.

M2: I think it's just s yeah. It's a big jump now.

M1: I I feel very excited for this change. I think that like I some I think Disney does these eras, like representing representing these eras so well, and it fits sort of the new vibe of Tomorrowland, you know, like the retro futuristic vibe. When I look at the the posters that they've released of the carousel of progress, I love that. And also, I think the last scene of Carousel of Progress has needed to be updated for so long. It's like really

M2: Yeah. And they did try to update it and it didn't work.

M1: Yeah, it didn't work. However, I am sad that we're gonna be losing the current not the end scene, I'm not really sad about that one, but the other three. Like I get the change, I'm excited for the change, but it is like

M2: Me too. That's what like I want them to turn the old Walt Disney Theater area, which is now a Mickey meet and greet, in an abandoned Tinkerbell meet and greet. We had a whole episode on that, not just on that, but on abandoned things if you want to listen. If you're not gonna use it, then turn it back into a little cute main street history walkthrough thing. And I would like for them to like have some relics in the story of it or bring it into one man's dream or whatever it is. I'm s I'm sad, but I also know that this obviously isn't the most popular thing and the people who experience those times, it's different, right? And when Walt created that for the what was a World's Fair, 1964 World's Fair, there are people who Mouslett is smiling because her mom went to that World Fair as well. And she saw it. When you're thinking of that, you know, that era and you're like, okay, the beginning of the 1900s. Well, nineteen sixty four, that was people, that was Papa Mouselett, right? He was sitting there, like what the age that he would be now, I mean, but like

M1: Her mom went to the World's Fair.

Mouselet A: And she saw this and she saw this when she was done. Mm-hmm.

M2: Now that's so far back, no one remembers it, and that's not necessarily what it's supposed to be. Point being

M1: Yeah, like especially for being in Tomorrowland. Like, Carousel of Progress feels extremely historical, even the end scene. This feels like you're progressing through the future to go or the past to go into the future. I think it fits way better, especially with like again that sort of retrospace age. I'll be sad to say goodbye to Toxic John. I assume he won't be toxic in the in the new version. But and ⁓ some like random

M2: Yeah. Me too. I think they'll update him, yeah.

M1: random fun fact is that in the first scene of Carousel of Progress, there's a little girl who is never in the family again. I hope she's there. There's no way she's gonna be 'cause she makes no sense, but ⁓ I would love for her to be.

M2: I hope she's I hope she's in the new one. Yeah, agreed.

Mouselet A: I don't know anything about this little girl.

M1: Okay, next time you watch there's a little girl and she's never seen again and

M2: I've done countless videos on her. I can't believe you haven't seen them.

M1: People say, did she did something happen?

M2: Someone anytime I post about her, they're like, everyone's like, She's obviously a neighbor helping with the laundry. I'm like, is she obviously a neighbor helping with the laundry? That's such a a jump. That's such a jump. I even went back to the original iterations and tried to track her through. Mouse Day, I'll show you the video after this. ⁓ all right, but now let's get into the main ek segment. I said episode, but then I meant to say segment. All right, guys. Well, I'm tired, just so you know, because I just got back from Disneyland Paris. And so body time, me and Mouse Day

Mouselet A: Mm-hmm.

M1: Yeah, I'm like, no, she's not. She's not a neighbor help.

M2: Or not adjusted, it's like three AM right now. So

M1: But this is gonna honestly probably like knock you back into being adjusted. So but there's a lot of yawning going on from these two. If you're watching on YouTube, you're probably like sheesh.

M2: I don't know that I woke up so early this morning.

Mouselet A: I won't feel this out.

M2: ⁓ I'm sleepy, but no, we had such a fun trip and wanted to talk about it. We got a lot of listener questions, so we'll get to those kind of at the end for the special segment. But wanna just kind of talk through kind of some of the fun things that we did, some of the good things, some of the bad things. If you want to get into like more lore, like how I took a huge giant fall on Main Street, that's in our our Patreon segment, so you can subscribe to our Peach Crew. Wasn't a banana peel, but I did slip and wipe out. ⁓ so

M1: Mouse 2 slipped on a banana pillow and went, whoa.

M2: Disneyland Perry All right, I'm gonna have you start Mouse Lady 'cause you're the one who saw this question. Give it a go. We'll alternate bullets.

Mouselet A: I saw I saw a question ⁓ regarding the RER, so the like commuter rail or the transit to get from Paris into Disneyland Paris and there was a question reg about if we could bring suitcases onto the onto that train. So we took the RER from Par from the city like city center to Disneyland and we brought our suitcases and we didn't have a problem. ⁓ so from our understanding, there's no issues with bringing your suitcases onto the RER. And it was about like a forty minute ride from city centre to Disneyland and it was like a super easy process. So that's definitely a really good option ⁓ to get from like Paris or like the airport into to Disneyland.

M2: Airport. Why not go into the airport? That's from Bluey, in case you didn't know. Yeah, you definitely can't Blue Bluey, it's a TikTok sound, but it's technically from Bluey. ⁓ you definitely can't bring suitcases on the RER though, because as Malceday said, it's it's like a commuter rail, it's like the subway, but it like extends further. And from Charles de Gaulle Airport, the RERB line runs into the city, the center of Paris. ⁓ you obviously can bring suitcases on that. We took the RERB and then to get out to where Disneyland Paris is.

M1: What's that from? 'Cause you always say that.

M2: You take the RERA. ⁓ I vlogged the the whole trip and have kind of some more info on like how to take the RERA. We for some reason got very confused the first couple times we did it. I mean, it's very straightforward. I don't know why we got so confused. It's even marked with a little Mickey head. I'll have that video up and you'll get to see it.

Mouselet A: Mm.

M1: The ticketing process used to be a lot more confusing than it is now, and I think that just like primed us for being very confused. Now it's like much simpler and it's if you take the subway or the metro in any city, it's sort of the same. It only runs in two directions. So hard to mess up.

M2: It did used to be more confusing, yeah.

Mouselet A: Yeah.

M2: We ⁓

Mouselet A: Yeah, it was it was it was very simple. So

M2: It was very easy and never ever drive there. There are other options. If you're co going from the center of Paris, just take the RER. Like you try to drive, you're gonna be stuck in so much traffic. Me and Mouse won't experience this last year. If you're coming from Charles de Gaulle and you're going directly there, you can take a high speed train and I would honestly just recommend that. ⁓ that's gonna be your best bet. But anyway, yes, we took the RER there with all of our suitcases. We went and checked into the Disneyland Hotel. Wanted to tell a little bit of The first time that me and Mouse at one visited Disneyland Paris, we accidentally brought our bag. We went into a cast member only tent and tried to go in.

M1: It was like the tiniest little sign. Okay, we're like coming up to Disneyland Paris. We see this little dinky, rinky dink tent and sign that's like Disneyland Paris. And we're like, this must be the, this must be the grand entrance. We go over, we're at literally at a cast member entrance. We were at like the little ranky dankiest thing. No. They were they were ready to usher they were ready to usher us through and we and we were ready to go through. I think we did too. Yeah. I think I did too. Mm-hmm.

M2: This is it. This is the entrance. They like didn't even understand that we weren't cast members either. And I don't know why we weren't speaking to them. Yep. And we I think I put my bag up on the belt too. Not a mistake you can make now. Don't worry. It's very clear. Something that's cool though about Disneyland Paris is that the entirety of the property is through security. So when you enter from the train station or parking, whatever, you go through security, your hotel is within the walls of security. So you want to enter the hotel from the front. To open through the front doors in that little foyer is security. Your bags are like checked to go through metal detectors. It was kind of cool. We didn't have to go through it anymore. And it like it did sort of make you feel very safe. I liked that. I you obviously couldn't do that at Disney World. It would be like a logistical nightmare, but I thought that was super cool. So ⁓ we checked into the Disneyland hotel and the check-in process they gave us this really cool like booklet, which I think I have over there, but it was because this this is like the the the nicest hotel at Disneyland Paris. It's even like nicer in some ways than the Grand Floridian, not in other ways though, which we'll kind of touch on. But it was really cool. They gave a whole booklet that was just like this really pretty booklet about like things about the resort and all these activities. And it was funny 'cause the cast member was trying to tell us like that there were activities for kids, ⁓ like storytelling and stuff. She goes, There are activities for babies, so like you wouldn't do those. And she kept saying babies and was like, You mean children? ⁓

M1: Ha ha ha.

M2: Also, wait, Mouse that I kept doing when we were walking through Paris, I taught her what like Enfants is in French to kids. She kept g going, Bonjour Enfance, bonjour and I was like, You're walking around to children saying, Hello, children Also, wait, this is the funniest story ever.

Mouselet A: It's all right. No, no.

M2: We're walking into Disneyland Hotel at night. Okay. The cast members bonjour. Like good day. Bonsoir. Good evening. Okay. The cast members, there's three there, I think. Two of them said bonsoir. So me and Mouse all said, ⁓ bonsoir back. What one of them said bonjour. He got confused, I guess. I don't know. Mouse Liday Mouse Leda goes Bonjour. We said Bonsoir.

Mouselet A: Yeah. Yeah, he said bonjour to me in the evening. He said it.

M2: Like, ⁓ bonsoir, bonsoir she goes bij it was insane.

Mouselet A: He said bonjour to me or whatever in the evening. He's the worker. And I I was I like this all happened in like one and a half seconds as I'm walking in. I'm trying to acknowledge that he's speaking to me. So I repeated what he said, like hello, hello, bonjour, bonjour. And it kind of just kind of came out.

M1: Ha ha

M2: He said he said right, he messed up. He w You didn't say Bonjour. That's the difference.

M1: And and you didn't sure, but you didn't say bonjour in response. Ha ha ha.

M2: Bouche. She went with but it was just funny. It's like cat Bon bonsoir. We're like, ⁓ bonsoir. And some guy says bonjour. And she goes, and she goes, Bouje, Bouje. It was so funny. ⁓ anyway, this hotel, weirdly, well, it was like laid out interestingly, because in order to get to the room, we had to like walk across the walkway. There's only one entrance because it's like at the park entrance. We got lost going to our room.

Mouselet A: Yeah, well I wish he said bonsoir to me 'cause I could have said bonsoir back.

M1: Right. ⁓

M2: Constantly. We kept going up like an elevator. We kept turning the wrong way. We tried to find the pool. We walked to the very end. Like we literally could not find our way into this hotel.

Mouselet A: Signage was lacking a little bit.

M2: There was a lack of signage.

M1: Melsley too and I tend to wander randomly around hotels unable to find our room. We just well not even our room. We just sort of had a weird wandering thing through the beach club recently. No boardwalk. Boardwalk.

M2: Anything Beach Club Boardwalk. ⁓ yeah, we did wander through the boardwalk, through the yacht club we have before. ⁓ yeah, we'll wander kind of anywhere. So we got to our room. Also, you wanna talk a little bit about the room?

M1: Mm-hmm.

Mouselet A: Our room was nice. We had ⁓ so again we had three people. So we had my sister Mousela L, and so we had a king bed plus a pull down, which is like the pull downs that you see a lot now in the a lot of the DVC rooms, like the fifth sleeper. And ⁓ I think there are a variety of room types. Like I think there are other there are other rooms that have two queen beds or two doubles. ⁓ but this is the setup we had. I don't know if that was just A quintent? I don't know Mouse of Two if you know that.

M2: Yeah, I can t so we the way you book it, and this is one of the questions I was gonna get to later, but if you want to do we wanted to stay three nights at the hotel and do two park days, in order to do that, you cannot book it through the Disneyland Paris website. It's very annoying. You can't. ⁓ you in order to book the hotel like in that way, you have to package it with tickets. You can't book the hotel alone. I think I talked about this like two weeks ago. If you message Disneyland Paris, which I did both times I tried to do this. They will tell you to go book it on hotels dot com or Expedia. That's what they say to do. The cast members say that. ⁓ so that's what we did. I booked this room on hotels dot com and the it was I mean, very easy, very straightforward. I didn't say I wanted a king and a cop. I wanted two double beds. In fact, that I just booked the like the s what they call like their standard room and that's what it gave us a king in the pull down. ⁓ I it was o okay with it. I offered to sleep on the pull down, but Mouse Ladell was wanted to sleep on it just for reference, everybody hadn't forced her to sleep in that cot. But yeah, I would have actually preferred the two beds. ⁓ and that's just not the end room we ended up getting, probably because we put three people. Probably had we put four people, they would have put us in the other type of room. I'm not sure though. So

Mouselet A: Yeah. But but honestly it was fine, it was good. And what I think what was also pretty cool about a room is we had a little balcony. And I don't think every room had a balcony. So that was a really nice plus. ⁓ the bathroom was we had two sinks and ⁓ like a water closet for the toilet and a an a good a good shower. So it was ⁓ well, yeah, we're European shower, so it's only half

M2: A year well well, a European shower. And so we flooded the bathroom every single time, so

Mouselet A: Only half glass wall, the other half's just open. So yeah, that was a bummer because we had to keep using our towels to clean up our mess. ⁓ but it was it was a nice room. I think the difference, if I had like my f like my initial thought is like the theming. I feel like there's a little bit more of big theming or more obvious like character theming in Disney World hotel rooms. I don't know if you agree, but it was like very subtle in in my opinion, the like character theming in the room where if you go to like the grand and it's so clearly Mary Poppins themed or th things like that. ⁓ I I like notice that.

M2: Our room was Yes. Well the resort in general, I like I would equate it to the most to the Grand Floridian, but it feels like a beautiful it feels Disney for sure. It feels very Disney. It feels very main street. ⁓ but it doesn't feel like I don't know. It feels a little different, but the room was it felt kinda like I would say like the Grand Floridian, like it felt beautiful and grand, but it was a subtle theme, like there weren't really hidden Mickeys or anything. We did have a what a Raya? Is it Raya and The Last Dragon?

M1: I told Melsa too, she stayed in the hotel that I've always wanted to stay in the most without me. So as a little wink from the universe, she got Ariah in the last dragon theme drama movie I love that she's never seen.

M2: I watched five minutes of it and I've said boof this is brutal. ⁓ I might rewatch it once a point 'cause I know there's a lot of fans. The Raya Hive is like literally rising to tell me I'm wrong. But ⁓ yeah, I would say in general it was a little bit more subtle, but I did really like the room. ⁓ we did go swimming, which was fun. The indoor pool, the locker rooms were super, super nice. They had Dyson hairdryers, like the fancy thing that you have, Mouse at one. Yeah. They had a sauna, they had like lockers. ⁓ that was really nice.

Mouselet A: Yeah, it was super it was super nice the locker rooms.

M1: ⁓ that's good to know. Disney World could never, a Dyson hairdryer would be stolen or broken within day one. Is it just plugged in or is it like attached to the wall? But is it but could you unplug it or was it attached? Still. So Well, you didn't try to unplug it and steal it?

Mouselet A: Yeah. There were two of ⁓ There were two of ⁓ at like a little station. There was like a little station. Probably not. No, no. That was nice.

M2: Yeah, it would be sold. Well I think they were like I dunno I think they were attached, but I don't think so. I don't know. I didn't try, but it was really nice. I didn't even use it. Well, I didn't use it. ⁓ they also had a gym. I went to the gym one morning. it was okay. Like as far as the gym goes, it's kind of similar to like Beach Club if you're this is like a niche audience who cares about this. But it was funny because I you have to check in to use the pool and like show your card. And I needed a towel, so like after I worked out and I was like, ⁓

Mouselet A: Didn't think about that.

M2: Like I asked in French, I was like, Can I have a towel? And they were like, Why do you need a towel? Are you going to the pool? And I said, No, I n well, like I would like to take a shower, which I said in French, and they were like, You need a towel? And I said And then I said in English and I was like, ⁓ I want to take a shower in the locker room. They're like, ⁓ I was like, What's the miscommunication here? What's happening here?

Mouselet A: Is that is that weird? That's why there are showers.

M1: It's like the time when I was in college I stayed at an Airbnb in Germany and I messed there were no towels and I messaged the host who was in the apartment next door saying, ⁓ I need a towel to take a shower and he brought me two tea towels and that's what I took a shower with.

Mouselet A: ⁓ my

M2: It's like the time that I stayed in an Airbnb in Paris and I stayed in a room and there was another couple in a different room with this random girl from college who I like kind of knew. ⁓ no, yes, I was in the children's room. The other couple was in the adults' room. I slept in the toddler bed. She slept on the ground and they gave us no towels at all. And also there was only a bathtub, so I had to shower underneath the bathtub. It was guys, and it cost fourteen euros for the night.

M1: This was insane of you. ⁓ wait, I thought this was when you stay in the children's room. And so you know what? Y you get what you pay for.

M2: And it was in like the fourteenth or the eighteenth of Randy's month. It was like way outside. It was like at the very edge of the city. I was in col I was in college. Fourteen euros a night. I was in college. My friend stayed up at Charles de Gaulle, ⁓ some random airport, so

Mouselet A: Why would you ever do that? Are you kidding? Fourteen.

M1: 'Cause you get what you pay for.

Mouselet A: God that's You guys were on a budget.

M2: I mean, I was in college. I honestly wasn't even on that much of a budget. I don't know what we were doing. Anyway, ⁓ that night before we get into the parks, we went to Disney Village, which is like their downtown Disney. ⁓ and we decided to eat kind of a like a I would call it like a quintessential French restaurant to just experience we went to the Rain First Cafe.

Mouselet A: Yeah, me too.

M1: This was unhinged of you. They ate at Rainforest Cafe. No, like also, they just ate at Rainforest Cafe in Animal Kingdom. You guys are crazy for that.

Mouselet A: It was incredible.

M2: We got the same sampler thing that we had before. ⁓ we got virgin pina coladas as well. ⁓ Yep. Yep, we shared it. Which is closing. Don't even stop. Stop.

Mouselet A: Yep. Virgin Picola's and we got dessert.

M1: ⁓ wow, read you're at the Disneyland Paris Rainforest Cafe, which is closing by the way, 'cause nobody goes there.

Mouselet A: Yeah, I had a I had to tell her that and it's so sad but it 'cause it was such an amazing experience.

M2: Okay, then we went shopping in Disney Village, just kind of like window shopping mostly, and we saw this kind of cool collection. Did you see these stories that one about how much this stuff cost? There was a dress. It's like a black, like maleficent dress, or no, it was an evil queen dress, and it had like a queen, like an evil queen like crown in the middle. It was like strapless, black. Mmm. I don't know where you'd wear it, but like it wasn't it was like it's just a specific thing. How much do you think it cost?

M1: Was it Q? Ha

Mouselet A: Like of like a like a f like a fashion like a f like think of a fashion influencer. All right.

M1: Okay.

M2: A fashion tress. Okay, how much do you think it costs?

M1: Okay. Eighty nine ninety five.

M2: Six hundred dollars. Six hundred Euros. It was a designer collection apparently. There was like a maleficent dress, it like eight hundred Euros. We were like and it was just sitting out there. I'm like, I could just walk out with this thing. It was just well, it was just like where would you wear this?

Mouselet A: It was designer. It was a designer. I mean they were kinda cool. They were kinda cool.

M1: They were cool.

Mouselet A: Like they were they were I mean you could

M1: Let me check the highlights that will have been put up by the time this episode comes out and I'll go take a peek.

M2: ⁓

Mouselet A: They felt like they're meant for like a photo shoot 'cause I don't think people would wear though like those outfits like in the parks so much. But I mean, honestly some of it was cool.

M2: People maybe would at the parks, I don't know. It was cool. ⁓ okay. So next up, let's get into the first day. This is our first day at Disneyland Paris. We had two days total. A lot of people asked, How long do you need? Someone asked like on Instagram in the comments that people were answering. I know someone responded in the comments four to five days. I personally think yeah, mouse a lot shaking your head. No. I personally think t two days is a great number. I think I think two days is a is a great amount of time, especially just knowing where you are.

M1: Not fortified not fortified. And I love Disneyland Paris, not fortified days. Okay, wait. I have a question for you. If you're doing premiere pass, do you need two days?

M2: No, you do not. We learn that lesson. You only need it one day. ⁓ great. I'll just start with

M1: No, but if you're doing it, do you need two days at all?

M2: ⁓ yeah, I think you do.

Mouselet A: I think you need a day and a half.

M1: So only by Premier Pass only by Premier Pass for one day, but still go for two days. Okay.

Mouselet A: Yeah.

M2: Yeah. I just think knowing that Adventure World has all this new stuff, you wanna see like Mickey ⁓ the Magician show, there's just a lot like there's fun restaurants. You can do it in one day. Sure. You can do Disneyland in one day, you know? But I think two days is gonna get you kind of what you need. And ⁓ so anyway, when we we started in the morning, we were staying on site, so we got early entry for a full hour just for reference. This is set up differently than Disney World. ⁓ they don't open, you know Just like two lands. They open all the lands, but they don't open all the rides. They typically open like five or six rides at ⁓ at Disneyland Park. And those include the Orbitrant, which is like our Astro Orbiter, ⁓ Buzz Lightyear, Hyperspace Mountain, except it was clo temporarily closed while we were there for construction, Big Thunder Mountain. ⁓ there were like Ms. One or two other. They like a very a a smattering of things. So much that we were like, you know what? And it's not consistent every time. They kind of like change it just kind of for reference, but enough that we were like, I don't really think we need to go. We have Premier Pass. We don't need to wake up at the crack of dawn and get in there. So we didn't. And we were just like, whatever, we're all good. We did get in a little early just to like get the park empty. ⁓ we started with the best way to start the morning. I mean street vehicle. We rode in a police car, which was really fun and special, especially 'cause it was sprinkling and raining a little bit. Mal said, did you like it?

Mouselet A: Yes.

M2: Why that

Mouselet A: No, I d I just didn't think there I it it was like thirty seconds, I didn't see the points too.

M1: You hate yeah, she hated it.

M2: ⁓ my god, it was probably my one of my peaches of the entire trip. Me and Mousel would love a main street vehicle.

Mouselet A: ⁓ Yeah, I I yeah, it was.

M1: Did you say this one was a police car that you were in? That's fun. I love a mainstream vehicle.

M2: Yeah, it was a police car. It was fun. It was very special. Yeah. ⁓ after that we decided to do the dragon cave, just 'cause I wanted to show Mousel L that. They both just complained kind of that it was too dark. You guys both were like, ⁓ it's so dark in here.

Mouselet A: Well, I'm thinking from like a safety perspective. Like I just like that would never be a that would not be allowed in the United States. Like it was way too dark and they were like it wasn't flat surface and I was like, Yeah, too dark for safety.

M2: Well, we're not in the US. Kind of rained on the parade there. ⁓ it's one of the best, most intercool things there. It's like this cave that there's a dragon animatronic. In fact, you're probably remembering everybody. I know what you're thinking right now. You're saying, ⁓ right, I remember Mouse One described that dragon as a steampunk dragon and you're saying that didn't look steampunk at all.

M1: A steampunk dragon. Exa exactly. I was just gonna say that. I was just gonna say that. A steampunk dragon, never forget.

M2: to not steampunk. Then we did the castle walkthrough. M1, you can talk a little about what that is because you've done that.

M1: So something that's very nice about this castle and the castle in Disneyland is you can actually go inside of it, unlike Cinderella Castle where you're just walking through unless you're going to the restaurant. But the Disneyland Paris one is even more open than Disneyland. You basically walk in and it's almost like being in like an atrium. And then you can go up the stairs and they have the story of Sleeping Beauty told in like stained glass and things. And then there's a the balcony on the back of the castle you can go out on and look out over fantasyland. It is a very nice touch. The Disneyland Paris castle in general is a beautiful castle and having that just makes the castle feel more immersive, I think.

M2: I feel like they Disneyland Paris took everything that was wrong with Magic Kingdom and fixed it. It's not perfect. There's things that the spark should be fixed, but I think they like recognize things that should have been fixed, that being one of them, like wanting to go into the castle and explore that area, and they did a great job with that. ⁓ after that we went and did the Buzz Lightyear ride. Mouse Lit A hates the Buzz Lightyear ride. I always loved this version 'cause it was well, just wait, M1. This is gonna be crazy. This is

M1: Even that one you hate? Even that version? ⁓

Mouselet A: Yeah.

M2: So I always that version was always so much better than Disney World. But after doing the new Disney World version, guys, ⁓ my God, this one looked like it's like the opposite. I was like, ⁓ my God. It's crazy. It's crazy. Then it made me realize how amazing the Disney World one is.

M1: I mean the Disney World one is absolutely amazing. I can't wait for Mouse Let A to ride it. She's going to love it, obviously. I can't believe you so guys, Mouse Let A notoriously has not liked Buzz at Well Disney World, our family loves Buzz and always have, but I understand it's like a little hard, you know, to connect. However, the Disneyland Paris one had the removable guns and like the better targets and stuff. You don't like that one either.

M2: Same, I'm so excited for her. She's gonna love it.

Mouselet A: I had the same problem and Mousel L, I didn't even I didn't taint her. She came up with it on her own. She was like, This isn't working. I said, Yeah, exactly. It's the whole point of this ride that like, in my opinion

M2: You did taint her. You did taint her. No, you tainted her.

M1: And then the two of them went and then they went humph and didn't play the whole time.

M2: Ha ha ha Ha ha

Mouselet A: And I just like you can't you can't follow the laser and I stand by that and I know that Mousla too if I'm always as so and then like and not to jump forward but like we did web slingers and it was Mousla L's first time doing web slingers. I'm just saying they like that I enjoy because I can actually follow what I'm shooting at. I can follow my path and

M2: Just wait till you do the Disney World version though. Your mind is gonna be blown. Just you wait. It's credible.

M1: No, just wait until you do the Disney World One. You're gonna be a whole new person.

M2: Don't jump for it. Don't jump for it.

M1: Interesting. Web slingers, I'm I couldn't be more random. I'm like this. I'm like this.

M2: I actually crushed it. I crushed I crushed it at Web Slingers this year.

Mouselet A: But you can actually see what you're doing and you have a colour that's assigned to you and like in buzz, you don't.

M2: Yeah, th you know what? That's exactly why you're gonna love the Disney World version. You're gonna love it. You're gonna love it. ⁓ we did

M1: You're gonna love the noopas. You're gonna love the noopas. Wait, I we have to do this. Ready? We have to do this for the new Disney World version. I'm trying to for do the cheering sound. Cheer, cheer it's not working, of course. Hang on. And it's not working. And it's not working. Okay. Yeah.

Mouselet A: Well, all right.

M2: ⁓ I was like I'll do it. She says

Mouselet A: Okay.

M2: Alright. This wasn't even the sound we were trying to do, just to be clear. All right. I think the sound is broken. The clo the cheering. Okay. Cheering. After Buzz Lightyear, we knew it was gonna rain. We actually were expecting a ton of rain and we got so lucky with it that it barely rained. So we went over quickly, we did Thunder Mountain. ⁓ Thunder Mountain there is super cool because it goes underground, under onto an island. It's longer. Don't you think didn't you think it was longer, Mouse that I

M1: It clearly is. Guys, imagine people cheering, okay? That was awful.

Mouselet A: ⁓ y ⁓ yeah. It's it's bu it's by far the best thunder to me. It's it's longer, it's it's different, it's yeah, it's really good. True. True.

M1: We haven't done the new one at Walt Disney World, but just a disclaimer for anyone who thinks that that one's amazing, I don't know. We tried, but yeah.

M2: we haven't. We tried, but the ride was down. An interesting thing we noticed about most of the ride vehicles for like roller coasters and even like the frozen ride and things is that at Disney World they're like a bench seating. that's not the case here. They actually have like specific kind of little defined seats. ⁓ they're not let's see, I didn't remember that actually, which I thought was funny. It they're not like super tight, like fit no issues, whereas like I would say in

M1: I remember that.

M2: The US Parks Seven Doors Mine Train like a tight squeeze for my hips. Genuinely that seat is too tiny.

Mouselet A: Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.

M1: Well, do you remember when they originally brought Remis over, the Remis had defined seats for and it was like, Why are there defined seats here? This is feels so unnecessary because sometimes you'd have like two people in a three person, you know, in a row that fits three, and you'd have to sit in these weird defined seats. And then they switched out all the benches in the US and they got rid of the defined seats. Yeah.

M2: Yes. It's clearly a requirement in Paris or something. I really like this version. I think it's it's longer. It yeah, it was really fun. Any closing thoughts on on Thunder, Mal Saday?

Mouselet A: I'm kinda bummed we couldn't do it a second time. We tried to 'cause I wanna do it one more time. 'Cause yeah, it's it's good. It's it was a lot of fun. I liked it. So yeah.

M2: ⁓ next up we did the Indiana Jones roller coaster, which is kind of like a mouse trap coaster that goes upside down. I think it's themed well. I like this ride. I I don't think everybody likes this ride. Mouse one is pretending to get battle it is a little rough. It was not as bad it wasn't as bad as I remembered.

M1: It's like ⁓ my god.

Mouselet A: S funny, I remember like loving it the last time I was there and this time ⁓ I didn't have that same feeling. It just felt like a lot smaller of a ride. Or I remember the first time I went on it thinking it was like in credit coaster level. Like that like in my head, like I know it was wrong. In my head it was like in credit coaster and then in reality it's more like goofy sky school esque.

M2: Which is yeah.

M1: Okay. It's so tiny. Yeah, it doesn't have a very big footprint. Yeah, it does go upset. But it's like a little like broop. It's a little like, you know, yeah.

M2: Goes upside down though. It goes upside down.

Mouselet A: Yeah, it's so t it's so tiny. It does, but it's so small. And I don't know why, like I remember the first time I thought it was the craziest ride I ever like. Like Yeah.

M2: It's not that small, guys. I liked it. I thought it was fun. I enjoyed myself on that ride. ⁓ okay, then we went and had breakfast. And Mousewan is gonna boo me here, laugh at me because I, yes, two weeks ago I talked about this Mickey beignet that I said it's not a beignet. It's yeah, I said it's not a beignet, it's a donut. Well, turns out a beignet is a donut over there because guess what? It's a donut, and for a donut.

M1: ⁓ my god. On this podcast. On this podcast.

M2: It's good. And yeah, I got it for both mornings. Okay. So sue me. It was delicious. ⁓ I didn't get a coffee book

M1: I might see you. I might see you after that.

M2: I don't like how you say Sue. Say it again. You said it so weird that like sounded like it wasn't even a word to me. Do you agree, Masoday? ⁓

M1: I might sue you.

Mouselet A: Yeah, I do.

M1: I don't think so. I don't think so. I'm gonna sue you again for that.

M2: We ended up getting a seat in this little like Main Street bakery. They had like booth seating and stuff. I found the table, then I went and get the food and drinks with mouse lit A. My like stuff was on one bench, some family wanted to share it with us. She was like, ⁓ no, I have two more people coming. They were like, Okay. It was a kind of a small booth. It would have been too small to squeeze three people on there. It would been really tight. And they were like pushing on that. ⁓ Then they went and asked another family who was in the same situation, like three people, and those people were ⁓ and they like pushed and were like

Mouselet A: Definitely. Definitely.

M2: But and they ended up sitting there and it was like it was very it was interesting. I don't know. It was a tight squeeze for that. ⁓ anyway, Disneyland Paris doesn't have any anywhere in the parks doesn't have almond milk, soy milk, oat milk, anything like that. You can get it at Disney Village if you go to Starbucks, just for reference. Yes, you can do that. Although technically you can't bring in outside food to the parks. I don't think you can bring in a coffee probably, but technically you can't bring outside food into the parks at Disneyland Paris. ⁓ so I did not get a coffee that morning. In the end I ended up just drinking like a little espresso shot like for two two days just 'cause I needed a a caffeine boost. A little boost. ⁓ after that i we shopped a little bit and then to kind of close out on like the morning we did the Liberty River boat. Well, it's not the Liberty River boat, it's the Molly something, Molly Longhouse.

Mouselet A: Boost.

M1: The unsinkable Molly Brown. If you've seen the Titanic movie, it's Kathy Bates in the Titanic is Molly Brown who was a yes, she was a real person, and I guess the boat is named after her, which we found out from Mouselett Ell.

Mouselet A: ⁓ no. Yes, Malsa L.

M2: I've never I've only seen the Titanic once with my high school boyfriend, so and you, and you're a boyfriend. So Filet Mignon as you would call him. after the

Mouselet A: Boo smoochy.

M1: Kiss. Yes, Moochie. I would call him Filet Mignon. I hope he's listening. He gets a lot of airtime on this podcast. He recently got airtime.

Mouselet A: Yeah.

M2: No, he like literally does get a lot of airtime on this podcast. It's like weird for someone who's like a literal blip in my life. ⁓ clearly, like a very very defining years. He didn't. Just just to be clear, he did not. ⁓ after that we went and did Phantom Manor. We wanted to sit three in the Doom buggy, but we couldn't. They said no. So we Mouse L had to ride alone. And she was like, So it's yelling through the Doom buggy. She's like, Who's keep who keeps screaming?

M1: Yeah.

Mouselet A: Clearly he made quite an impact on your life, so

M1: He made a big splash.

Mouselet A: Peach

M1: D

Mouselet A: She was getting so irritated 'cause people were s people were being yeah, hooligans. I love fan I definitely prefer Phantom Manor, I've decided.

M2: Hooligans. I love Phantom Manor. It's one of my five It's I think it's incredible. I will give the warning that I know that some parents think it's scary for kids because you do literally go like underground, like into where people are buried. It is scarier than Haunted Mansion, so like

M1: It is kinda scary. Yeah, it's

Mouselet A: I I disagree. I feel like it's the same. If if you're scared of Haunted Mansion, you'll be scared of this one and vice versa. Like it's

M2: I think you'd be more scared of this.

M1: Mal parents, Mal Soday is wr yeah, Mausaday is wrong. Also, speaking of Mausaday being wrong, listening to you guys do that game in the podcast two weeks ago. Rank this ride at Disneyland, Disneyland Paris, Walt Disneyland Mal Seday every time. I don't remember at Disneyland Paris, so that's third. I said, you know what, you might as well not even be playing the game. Like

Mouselet A: Well, I didn't know we were gonna play that I didn't know we were gonna play that game. I didn't know and then I was being asked things. I was like, Wow, I have no idea. Now I could play. No.

M2: Ha ha. Can I see your right hand, please, Malceda? Are you drawing and doodling right now? It's Yeah, it's unacceptable. It's unacceptable. Okay. ⁓ okay. After that we did Luck Cabin Do Robin Sun, which is the l the ⁓ Swiss family treehouse, and we tried to see the Eiffel Tower from the top, but we couldn't see it. Like we it was maybe too cloudy. I don't know, we could not find it, so

Mouselet A: Yes.

M1: 'Cause your neck keeps folding in half as you're looking down. Wait, should we tell the ⁓ my god, the bits aren't working. There we go. The woman the woman in the yellow jacket. So Mouse Lit three, back when we our younger brother, when we went in 2017, was in his like Snapchat era and took a million Snapchat videos. Yeah, he had his Snapchat spectacles and was constantly taking Snapchat videos. And so he went through the archives and sent us these videos. When we went on the Swiss Family Treehouse in 2017.

M2: ⁓ my god, the yellow woman? You can tell it. You can tell it. Our younger brother.

Mouselet A: See I do glasses.

M2: It was so funny.

M1: There was a woman in a yellow jacket who was who was doing a literal photo shoot, but it was like she literally was like would smile in front of the most random thing and her husband would hold the phone like seven inches from her face and she was like doing a huge cheese. She was looking back over, she was hanging over the railing, she was looking back over her shoulders. It was and Mouselit 3 has all these videos of him.

M2: No, yellow pants and a yellow jacket. A full yellow outfit. She like tip her head back hanging over the railings.

M1: you know, he was like taking them on Snapchat. It wasn't for social media. He was just like taking them for fun to send to us. It was a woman. She was serving. It's but like watching them all in succession of Mouse of Three, like zooming in on her, doing her like next pose throughout this is Foamlight House. It was literally iconic. And the woman in the yellow jacket, like I is what I will always think of with that one.

M2: Yeah, we wouldn't post them just 'cause like honestly she was a queen. It was iconic. It was so funny. Same. It was iconic. ⁓ okay, flying through a little faster since we this is a very long episode already. After that we did the Adventure Isle Trails, which are like kind of like their Tom Sawyer's Island, ⁓ which was fun. Like I always like to do those, explore those. Then we went over and did Peter Pan's Flight, which ⁓ has two rows there, which is good because it makes it a little bit more efficient. And we were like, ⁓ great, we can all ride in one boat. Figured we wouldn't be able to, you know, sit three in a row. No, we ended up sitting three in a row, which we wouldn't do at World, and there was a family behind us, which is funny. ⁓ after that we had lunch at this I think it's like the Explorer's Cafe. I don't know. It's in Adventureland. Me Mouse at one have eaten there before. It was good. ⁓ no no like huge notes. I thought the food was pretty good. Good option. I think their food is getting much better and they have a lot of vegetarian options. So I was happy about that. And then we parkopped. Over to what is now called Adventure World. They renamed that park from Walt Disney Studios. We talked about this a lot in the sitting on the ground segment for Patreon. But ⁓ the biggest change at the park isn't really the first, like the front half, it's the back half where they created this huge new lagoon. They have a frozen land, and then they have a Rapunzel ride and an up ride and a Lion King ride. Those two are coming soon. So we got to see that kind of the transformation of the park. It's so much better than when there were huge construction gates up because it felt very disjointed. Here's something interesting though. I figured they were getting rid of that weird Alice in Wonderland BMX show. They're not. It's coming back next year. Isn't that surprising?

M1: What world is that even in, technically? Nothing. I I mean I I know where it is, but it's like not near anything. Weird.

M2: It's like in the back over behind like the live stitch thing. It used to be lights motor action for everyone who knows that started in that park, which I think is cool. I think that's a cool piece of history. ⁓ but yeah, we parked up there. We did Frozen Ever After. Mouse Leday, Thoughts on Frozen Ever After, compared to the APCA version which we just did not that long ago, me and you.

Mouselet A: Ten times better than the Epcot version. Now, it's like the same ride, but it's smoother. Yeah. And it just it just it felt a more like that was a per like that was a ride that it w felt like less of a re themed ride. It felt more like, ⁓ no, this is the ride, this was the plan all along. And I

M2: Bigger, bigger track, bigger boats.

Mouselet A: dislike the one in Epcot and I like genuinely enjoyed this one in Disneyland Paris. I'm sorry, Venture World.

M1: hater of the Epcot one and I have been for a while because there's so much dark blank space in it that you're just kind of like, okay. Because they yeah, because they re-theme Maelstrom. And so yeah, it's nice that they didn't just straight up rip the track for this one and they like did it in a way that you don't have that sort of random dark spaces.

M2: Yeah. Which they could have put something, but there's just like nothing happening. It's very noticeable. Like the track is just way bigger. It's so much smoother and the scale of it just feels so much bigger. It feels like it doesn't feel like Rise of the Resistance in terms of like obviously that ride is incredibly impressive. No, but it does no but that that surprise faces being made at me. No, but it does feel like the scale of the ride. I feel like when you are in some of those like rooms at Rise and you're like, This is a huge room, that felt

Mouselet A: I

M1: Yeah.

M2: Very true to this. I was like, ⁓ this feels like a huge space. And it the drop was better, steeper. It was fun. Had a lap bar.

Mouselet A: The drop was fun. To to be clear, I still think they should have done an original ride. Like I don't I still don't like or think it was kind of cheap to take a re-themed ride and then make it like an a a ride here where it's this new world and everything. So again, like it still was the same ride that's in Epcot. They just ex like they just they just did it better. I think there are still scenes that could have been better. And like even on you're always focused on your right and on your left it's still kind of dead. And I like I feel like that could have been a little more maybe immersive because there it's so clear you have to just look at one side. And I think on other rides Well, like there was like nothing on the left. There was nothing. Like it it was

M2: I didn't experience that phenomenon. This was probably my favorite ride.

M1: She said that she liked this more than Crush Coaster, more than the Iron Man ride, more than Tower of Terror. She said this was her favorite ride in Adventure World. Yes.

Mouselet A: Who ⁓ two? Crush Coasters won. It was well done. It was it was it was very well done. We enjoyed it. We did it twice, so we enjoyed it. Yeah, I bel yeah, agreed. It was well done.

M2: I love Tower of Terror and I Crush Coaster, but I mean this is up there. Crush Coaster is great, but this is I thought it was amazing. It was incredible. If they had this at Epcot, I would ride it every single time, no question. It's amazing. ⁓ okay, again, I'm gonna try to go a little faster. We did the cars back lot tour thing. You know what? We actually liked it more this time. We actually liked it a little more this time. And I realized that they should cut that thing in like a third and it used to run all through where the lagoon is now, and that's why it feels so short. It's cute. It's it's the backlot tour. We used to have it at Hollywood Studios. They rethemed it to Cars. You still go through Catastrophe Canyon, Cars Catastrophe Canyon. It was cute. I thought it was it was decent.

M1: I can't believe you did that thing, it's terrible.

Mouselet A: Well, Master L had to experience it. You know what? We had a good time.

M2: We did Crush Coaster. I was riding with a single rider, kinda befriended her. We keep became very close, ⁓ which was fun. We certainly are. ⁓ but no, that one crush coaster is so good there. You like ride in these crushed shells and you're going backwards and there's like a little dark ride part. You're like zooming around. It's so fun.

M1: Very close. Are you keeping in touch?

Mouselet A: I love Crush Cosair. It was it gave it was giving guardians a little bit. Like there was a se there was a part where you kind of are circling and looking down. I felt like I was waiting for like the moon to be there and yeah. It was a lot of fun.

M2: The moon. I yeah, I also felt that. ⁓ we also did the Iron Man roller coaster in Avengers Campus, and then we did Tower of Terror, which is way s like scarier there. It's more a high tech. It has this like little girl who's talking to you as we're dropping by the windows. I look up, I reach up my hand, I catch something, a hat. Someone lost their hat and I like caught it, and I was like, I just caught a hat at the end of the ride, and I held it for the rest of the ride. At the end of the ride, I was like, Who lost I said it in French, I said, Who lost it un chapeau, un chapeau? Like a which is a hat in French. And some girl was like, ⁓ my god, like me, me. It was so funny. She was like, I think that's my hat. ⁓ I was like, I can't believe I and can you believe I caught it? I just saw it and I went boom and I grabbed it. Isn't that insane?

Mouselet A: You said it in French. She's the mine.

M1: She didn't even feel her hat fly off.

Mouselet A: Yeah, sh yeah. So funny. Yeah.

M2: I'm impressed. Mouse at one, you're not impressed by this? Okay, I just wanted to hear you say it. Thank you. Thank you. ⁓ okay, we did dinner at Agrabah Bress. What? No, I s I mentioned it. I mentioned it in passing quickly. I said we did Crush and we did Iron Man and Adventures Campus.

M1: I'm impressed. I'm impressed that you snatched a hat out of thin air. Okay. I'm not. ⁓ you skipped something The Iron Man ride which melted it?

Mouselet A: Nine.

M1: Masselay, what you think of the Iron Man ride that you were so excited to ride?

Mouselet A: Mm. I know I'm sad because I didn't like it as much this time. I prefer rock and roller coasters even though they're the even though they're the same. ⁓ it was a little a little rough on my head. You but you bounce around a little bit with that one. But it's good for the land. I'm happy that it's in that land. It's good for it. So yeah.

M2: I liked it. It's their rock and roller coaster, which we did in like twenty fourteen. They reth or twenty fifteen, they re themed it to Iron Man. Here's my tip. I know they say not to. No doctor correct me. Lean your head forward, guys. Like gonna demonstrate. And it helps. It helps so much. Yeah. ⁓ okay. Yeah, then we did a dinner at Agraba restaurant. The food is great. The like logistics of the restaurant were kind of funky and awkward. ⁓

Mouselet A: Yeah. I started to lean my head forward to and it like helped. Yeah. Yeah.

M1: It helps with the rattling. Same with rock and roller coaster, yeah.

M2: We we talked about that more in sitting on the ground talking. If you're specifically considering going to the Agrabo restaurant, kind of a niche audience and you want to learn about that, just DM us on Instagram, happy to tell you more. ⁓ little bit of a bummer. The Star Wars like lounge thing that they had last year was a limited run. So that was closed. Mouse Let was sort of in having a pit moment. ⁓ and then we're I'm not gonna discuss in detail just because we have more to cover, but we did not watch the fireworks, and I'll justify it with the fact that we had a balcony facing the park. All I wanted to hear was the music and see the fireworks. They took away the drones so at the castle, so I didn't feel the need to watch just the projections when I've seen a much better show with drones. I just wanted to hear the music and see some fireworks. So we watched from our balcony instead.

Mouselet A: Also also the fireworks are like eleven PM and ten fifty PM and it was hard for us Yeah and yeah, we we just couldn't wait. We couldn't be that wait that long.

M2: They're at ten fifty. Yeah. And a lot of stuff closes. ⁓ okay, the next day we woke up. I woke up, I went to the gym, ⁓ and then ⁓ Mouse Lid A and Mouse Liddell were sleeping. I said, Hi, I really would like to ride Pinocchios. Are you going to get up? No, there she was like, No, I d so I went to the park alone. Ended up being amazing, had so much fun. ⁓ it was my peach of the trip, just kidding. But it was amazing. I started with Pinocchio, loved that. I ended up riding I was a single rider, so I got to ride with a family in the back of their car.

Mouselet A: It was her peach of the entire trip.

M1: Pinocchio's is a dark ride there, if you don't know. It's like, you know, picture any dark ride, yeah.

M2: Yeah. It's like Pooh. Or like Mr. Toads. They have it at Disneyland too. ⁓ so I did Pinocchio's, then I went over and did ⁓ Casey Jr., which was amazing. Way better than Disneyland's. Actually, really fun fact, the Casey Jr. thing. It's on a roller coaster track. It goes pretty fast at Disneyland Paris, all things considered. That ride actually inspired or it didn't inspire, I guess, but it taught them how to do a ride soundtrack that they later used on Space Mountain. I just learned that from the Space Mountain book I bought there. So that ride was really fun. Then I did the miniature boat ride that me and Mouse One absolutely love. When Mouse One was in her photography era, she posted a picture of Abu, the little monkey hanging from there. And I stand, yeah, you have major regrets. ⁓

M1: And I and I have no regrets. I Malsa too posted a picture of a real monkey on her actual Instagram that she took off of Google Photos, so don't come at me for monkeys on Instagram, okay? Yeah. ⁓

Mouselet A: Yeah.

M2: Ha ha ha. Insane. Insane of you. Literally. Insane of you.

M1: Get that monkey. I can picture him right now. ⁓

M2: He's like frowny and like a big face. The funny why did you do that? The funniest thing is I'm like I don't think I could ever find that picture again. But if I saw him again I would

Mouselet A: Why'd you post why did you do that?

M1: But if I saw it, I would know him in an instant. She loved him. She loved him, El Sunday. She saw a picture online of a monkey and she said. I could picture him. ⁓ I could picture him so clearly. Me too. It wasn't when archive existed. ⁓ my god, that monkey. That monkey.

M2: That was in the early days of Instagram. Okay. That was like in the really early days of Instagram. I can pic I can literally picture him. I wish I had like archive pictures from that. ⁓ my god. Archive didn't exist. Insane. Well, ⁓ that's you posted a monkey as well. So ⁓ anyway, then I did the teacups. I wanted to do Dumbo, but it had way too long of a wait, so I was like, I'm not doing that. Wrote a teacup alone. Mouse La's mom kept saying she was so sad for me riding that teacup alone. Which is funny.

Mouselet A: I just swanted to post it. Yeah, my mom kept texting me and said, I am so sad that ⁓ two is by herself. Sad face, sad face.

M1: Ha ha ha

M2: Then I went to do ⁓ Star Tourist. I wanted to do it specifically because it was in French. It wasn't in French. It's the exact English version that we have. So ⁓ it was fun, but I didn't get sick, which was great. And then ⁓ we said, let's use our Premier Pass and ⁓ ride the Orbitron. ⁓ specifically, the guy was like, Do you have Premier Pass? And I was like, Yes. He goes, Read the first he goes, Do you speak English or French? I English. And he said, Read the first sentence. And the first sentence of Premier Pass says, This is valid on all like fast pass rides except the Orbitron. Which is their astro orbiter. I was like, What? So that was weird. Yeah, I was like, for for this spinner ride, that's nothing special, like people there have weird priorities, which gets me perfectly into the train. I wanted them to ride the train because me and Mouse the one rode the train, which has so much hype. So much hype. Also only one

M1: Which is like Astro Orbiter. Yeah, it's that's so weird.

Mouselet A: Yeah. And there was like a forty five minute wait. Yeah.

M1: You have to the train the train isn't open when the park opens. It you have to rope drop the train if you want like any chance of getting on the train in a non like forty five minute wait.

M2: I hope it's at noon, twelve fifteen. And just to be clear, they have one station open and that's Main Street. The Frontierland, Fancy Land, and Discovery Line stations are all closed right now, and they have been for a while. You go in a circle and they run one train. So it's 20 minutes around.

M1: So you just go in a circle. And it's not like dis and it's not like Disneyland where you're going through like dioramas or something. It's but it's just a train. We went on it and we said, ⁓

M2: Well, you do go through one diorama, actually. It's just like funny. Well, the diorama was cool. Going through Small World is cool, but ninety percent of it was looking at literally nothing.

M1: It is like a cool train. Remember it had those like little car those little like like this?

M2: Yeah, it's fun it's fun. It's like bench seat it's different. You're facing out, but not in the way you would Disneyland. It's fun. I'm just like so we got in line. We just missed the train 'cause they didn't load an entire car and so we just missed it. And we were like, at this point if we wait, we're gonna have to wait twenty minutes for it to go around, then board and unload, and then twenty minutes ourselves it'd be a fifty minute wait. So we just didn't ride the train, which is fine. ⁓ it it's just crazy the like lore it has. We went over to the other park because we wanted to see Mickey Mickey

Mouselet A: Yeah.

M2: And a magician Mickey the Magician.

M1: Mickey the Magician is mine. Some some things we own, it's mine. I own Mickey the Magician. It's so good.

Mouselet A: It's mine. It's mine now.

M2: They loved it. They loved it. I it's funny, there's another show there that's a mini show that's also a big big stage production. Not the Pixar show, but it's like a mini show. But then it said it was like at a younger audience. We didn't see that one, but I wanna watch it on YouTube. I'm curious. Mickey and the Magician is an amazing show. They need to bring it to Disney World and replace freaking Beauty and the Beast with it. But unfortunately it just needs like it just needs too many talent. Like I don't

Mouselet A: Mickey and maybe. Or frozen say along. Let's

M2: Not in like an offensive way, but like Disney World will just never invest in it because it has an incredible set and it has too many performers and they just would never do it. So they're too cheap. ⁓ my earring back fell off during that show, so I had to use a Mickey pin back for the rest of the day and kind of like stab that through. ⁓ then we did Frozen again, Frozen Ever After, second day in a row. That's how much I loved it. Tried to meet Olaf, failed. He didn't come out because it was raining, which was a bummer, but ⁓ then I rode the Rapunzel ride with Mouse Leday. Melissa, thoughts Raponzo?

Mouselet A: ⁓ I mean it's just the teacups. It's just it just it's just a teacups themed repuncil. It's cute, but that's all it is.

M2: It's cute. It's cute and it's worth like a 15-minute wait max kind of. And then so we waited. We waited 10 minutes for it. ⁓ then what did I ⁓ yes. We went back to the hotel. We freshened up a little bit. We got some snacks, started raining, and they had this little bell storytelling thing that they were having kids be like volunteers of like who wants to be Chip and Mrs. Potts and whatever. And so we stood and watched it. And the question, I wish I recorded it. The woman literally asked the question. She goes, All right, everybody.

Mouselet A: Yeah, yeah.

M2: 'Cause she was speaking in English and the guy was in French and whatever. She goes, Who what was Belle's father's name? And it was dead silence. And it took me s I wanna say Geppetto. And it just brought me back into the moment when it was absolute crickets and Mouse Lit Three raised his hand and said Geppetto. I cannot believe it. And then she's and then she said, That's right, Maurice. She genuinely said that.

Mouselet A: And then she and then she said, That's right. Maurice She actually said that.

M1: That's right, Maurice. If you want to hear that full story, someone was asking when we told that story. Someone told me that it was an episode four. I have not validated that, but someone said that we told it in episode four. So if you don't know the Geppetto story, which is like d deep mouse litz lore, I I think it's an episode four.

M2: Yeah, did you find it? How helpful. It's so funny.

Mouselet A: But this was pretty fun because we were in the lobby and it was just like a little impromptu thing in the lobby and it was literally like enchanted tales with Belle. Like it was it felt Belle like it was actually like, yeah, it was really cute because you just thought these like characters were doing some entertainment in the lobby. Then all of a sudden they're like, and here's Belle. And there's like a grand ⁓ staircase. And Belle came down the staircase and did a little meet like did a little meet and greet with the people in the lobby. It was like really cute.

M2: Yeah, Bell came out. It was super cute.

M1: You know what? What an amazing example of a little surprise and delight streetmosphere. Perfect tie into our episode last week. Wish they had more of that at Disney World.

Mouselet A: Yeah, it was super cute.

M2: And it was funny, Mousel A after she was like I was Wanna go? And she's like, No, no, no, not yet. And Belle like making her rounds. I ⁓ you wanna wait for Belle? And she goes, What? And I said, W y we're either leaving or we're waiting here to meet Belle and she goes, I don't wanna meet Belle She gets like nervous around Belle ever since we met kind of an odd Belle at Disneyland.

Mouselet A: Yeah, I don't Yeah, I d but like I struggle with face characters 'cause like I don't wanna I don't wanna do this back and forth and I have like, yeah, never mind, we gotta get out of here. So we so we so we left.

M2: I I would have I would have met her, but ⁓ we went back to Disneyland Park. We did Autopia, which was fun. I really like Autopia there. Then I canceled and modified reservations like 100 times. We ended up deciding to eat at well, we were gonna eat the Pirates Restaurant, but by the time the two of them got to the park, it was like lunchtime and it was like you really want to eat there for lunch. So we ended up eating at the Silver Spur Steakhouse, which is like the only place that has consid no.

Mouselet A: I liked it too.

M1: Steakhouse

M2: It was amazing though. I got like this like lima bean bowl. ⁓ it ended up it had like availability. Like clearly this thing is not popular at all. But we got a bunch of food and then we all got a what was it called? A cowboy dessert.

Mouselet A: No, it was a peach, it was a peach. Cowboy the cowboy treat.

M1: ⁓ yeah, you guys supposed a picture of you cheering that being or cheersing, being like Cowboy Sundays or something and I was like, Okay, you guys are loving I can tell just by like the vibe of the thing that you guys loved it. Like

Mouselet A: We loved it.

M2: We did. It was because like we wanted ice cream. And they were like, ⁓ my God, I think like people have ice cream. And yeah, I think cowboy treat. And it said it on the menu was like cowboy treat. And we were like, What's a cowboy treat? He's like, It's an ice cream Sunday. And we said, Ding! And then we had that, and that was really fun. ⁓ and then we rode Pirates for kind of our last hurrah. We were gonna ride Thunder, but it was closed because of the fireworks, which were happening in like two hours. And no, we did not see the Adventure World drone show.

Mouselet A: The cowboy treat. And we said, What's a cowboy tree? It was. And pirates are

M2: ⁓ the only thing I wanted to hear was the Disneyland Paris Castle Show music two nights in a row and that's what we saw. We had to wake up very early to leave and so it was just it just didn't make sense. I know if Mouse At One was there, we would have watched them. Probably if someone else had wanted to, I probably would have watched them, but because no one else wanted to, I was okay skipping it. So

Mouselet A: And again the next day we had to get up at five to leave. So the show was not until again, what, ten forty that show? It was just gonna be a lot and yeah. And it was kinda cold and everything, so

M2: That would set forty. We had to walk to that park and so we didn't end up doing it, so All right.

M1: The number of times that the two of you have yawned this episode is unbelievable.

M2: Yeah, I was about to say. Just to be clear, it's like five AM body time. It's like five A.m. body time. So that's fine. We have a special segment that we're gonna ask answer a couple of trip questions. ⁓ the first one someone said, Well, someone said, Why didn't you save for the fireworks? It's so awesome and emotional there. That that's the reason for that one. ⁓ someone asked if we use Premier Pass. We did. So again, Premier Pass is like their unlimited fast pass there. You don't have to re reserve a time. You can do every ride ⁓ one time.

Mouselet A: I'm really struggling. I'm really struggling right now.

M2: A lot of people said we could have saved money and bought all of the different rides individually and like booked a time. And I was like, yeah, you know what? We probably could have. We definitely shouldn't have done Premier Pass both days. We used it, but I think you could have gotten away with just one day. But ⁓ the a la carte thing was just gonna be complex. It was just nice to not have to make a plan. So how cold was

Mouselet A: I I was just gonna say I agree that you re we really didn't need it two days. We really only needed one day, but we had it two days so we tried to use it. But we really didn't need it.

M2: Yeah. How cold was it? It looked like you each had three layers on. I think it looked like it was pretty cold. It was like like low sixties, high fifties. ⁓ it wasn't that cold, but we did I mean I did wear like a long sleeve and jeans both days. There were times that I would take off my jacket and then a raincoat.

Mouselet A: Yeah, it was just a little hard. Like we'd have breaks where the sun would come out and it'd be like, Wow, it's warm and then all of a sudden it'd get rainy again. So like the the key was like having the layers, but it was n it was really not that bad.

M2: Someone said, We have a nine year old, never been to Zilland Paris. When is a good age to take them to do it like you did? I would say once they feel comfortable doing bigger rides, like Tower and those ones. So like whenever you're like twelve, thirteen, whenever they feel like they can do that. If they're like a more adventurous kid, you could bring them sooner. Okay, no one has other responses to that. Is it okay getting around to not knowing French? Yes. All the cast members there speak English, French, and like one or two other languages. ⁓ I spoke French just because I can and it's fun for me to practice, but many of them spoke perfect English. There were only a handful that I felt like my French was better than their English, which means that their English was not too good. ⁓ but there's English cast speaking cast members everywhere. So like I asked the guy, I said, ⁓ do you speak English? He said, Of course I speak English. And I said, Great. Where's Olaf?

M1: Ha ha

Mouselet A: And then in one of our ⁓ in one of our dining reservations we saw that they made a note and they wrote English on the top of our ⁓ little slip before they gave it Yeah.

M1: Ha ha. ⁓ they said don't try to speak French to these girlies.

M2: They said, ⁓ these girls speak English. ⁓ this is a fun one. What attraction surprised you with how good it was? Melissa one, you can answer too if you have any memories of the other ones. I'm gonna say frozen ever after. I had low expectations and it's far surpassed it.

M1: I w I knew you were gonna stay frozen ever after.

Mouselet A: I'm gonna say the Mickey and the Magician ⁓ show just because that was ⁓ I did actually really enjoy the boat ride. But that show was very good and I'm not a huge show person the way I think the two of you like appreciate like shows. It was very good. Like that to me is definitely a must do.

M2: ⁓ okay. And the boat ride, right? You love that too.

M1: It's an amazing show.

M2: No response from M1. Okay. ⁓ this one said, What do you think about the cheaper hotels? We won't be able to afford the one where you were. So there are seven hotels total. Staying on site is really fun. The hotel we were at was beautiful and great. The Marvel Hotel is also on the higher end of expensive. That one's great too. There are other hotels that are much, much more affordable. They're super cute. ⁓ the Newport Bay Hotel is like kind of your mid I would say your sort of moderate level.

M1: I can't I can't think of anything.

M2: Pretty close to the parks. I think that's a good option. If your price point is lower, ⁓ Hotel Cheyenne, Hotel Santa Fe, I would say Hotel Cheyenne, which is like frontierland themed, is gonna be a better bet. Just note that like double check, make sure they have AC. ⁓ like some of the value resorts don't have AC. If you stay at the Davy Crockett campground, you have to drive to the park. So that's kind of a a downside. Not all of them have pools and things, but the theming is really fun, and I think that you know, you can get a lot out of staying on site, even if there's also great off site hotels, but I think staying on site is pretty fun.

M1: I would just say if you've traveled to Europe before, hotels in Europe are just different than they are in the United States. Like they just are. And so just keep your ac that in mind with expectations. Like don't compare a value of moderate a deluxe at Disney World or Disneyland to what you would find in Disneyland Paris. It's different because it's Europe. And so like, yeah, the tiers are just different. But they're all great.

Mouselet A: I I think too if you if you can stay in any of the Disney hotels that are like walking distance to the park, I think that's a really big win. So I would prioritize just I don't think you don't have to stay at the Disneyland hotel, but if you can stay at the one of that's that's walking distance, I think that's a r okay, yeah. So I I guess I guess staying on property I think is a is a big win at in Paris.

M1: Yeah.

M2: Cheyenne and Santa Fe are both walking also. Yeah. ⁓ someone said, How is the food? I'm vegan. I'm wondering if plant based was an easy option. They have come so far since twenty fifteen when we first visited. Every place has a plant based option. So you're all good on that one. Someone asked if we're saving these to highlights. I will save these to highlights. So everyone, you can catch up on everything. ⁓ all right, I'm gonna do one or two more. Let's see. What about is there a daily

M1: For those not watching, Mouse 2 is scrolling through her phone looking for questions. Yes. Yes.

M2: Well I have all of the questions saved. Is there a daily parade? There is a daily parade. Me and Mouse One watched it multiple times when we were there. I really liked it. I know people who are like locals say that it's a little tired. I'm sure it's like a faff type thing. Big old boo to faff. This is cute. I think the parade is fun and I think it's worth watching.

M1: I l yeah, me too. I love the parade there. I love a parade in general though.

M2: We didn't watch it because Mouse Lit A and L had no interest in watching it. So, ⁓ all right, I'll end with this. Someone said, Will you do a YouTube video? I just got off and I missed all the stories. I did vlog the whole thing, so I have a full YouTube video so you can kind of watch that full experience too. There are so many other questions just for reference. Yes, I was scrolling through. ⁓ that will answer at a later time because guys, well, one, this episode is really long, but two, we're snoozies. Let's get into our pit and peach of the week.

M1: Create haters.

Mouselet A: Sleepy.

M2: My pit is that I was mowing the lawn yesterday and I ran over a snake. I stepped on it, which I didn't realize, mangled it and killed it. And it's disgusting and I hate snakes. Stop, I can't even talk about it. Next. That was my pit.

M1: That's so disgusting. That is so disgusting.

Mouselet A: My p my pit is that I had dispose of said snake so that M2 could finish mowing the lawn. So that wasn't that wasn't fun. You brought it up. That is my pit. It was me it was pretty mangled.

M2: I can't talk about the snake anymore.

M1: Yeah, you did.

M2: M1 year pit.

M1: well, my peach is that I didn't see a snake. My pit is that Mouslet C is officially back at work. His paternity leave is over. He actually has more paternity leave time that he'll be using next year, but this chunk of it is over. And so sad. Both my mom, Mama Mouselet, and Mouselet 2 completely separately said to me, ⁓ it's the end of life as you know it. Both of them said that.

M2: You're sick. And and you know what? I stand by it. I stand by it. All right, peaches. What is my peach? I mean I had such a fun trip.

M1: Peach. My peach is no, that's a cop out peach and you know it. My peach is that ⁓ we're turning our dining room into our playroom and today I was able to like ⁓ yeah, like playroom slash office and today I was able to like mock the whole thing up and make like a little thing on Canvas so I could decide exactly what I wanted and I like pretty much know all the furniture I'm gonna get and everything and now I just have to get it and I'm so excited.

Mouselet A: I room. Make sure you share that with us after this. Yeah.

M2: ⁓ my page is hard because I just came back from a super fun vacation and kinda like my look ahead right now is ⁓ working. You know, it's just like a week of work and stuff and I'm feeling no, I can't like I've literally coming up blank. I finished my book today.

M1: You can't think of a single peach? Okay. This is literally think like you had taco night for dinner. Like

Mouselet A: They were good. Dinner was good.

M2: No, that wasn't a page. I just solved to go clean up some of the pans.

M1: Okay, Mal Saday, what's your peach?

Mouselet A: I peach ⁓ boo ⁓

M1: Guys, this is the log episode. Pop out some peaches or else you can't do a peach today.

M2: What's my peach? I gotta have something. ⁓ there's I'm sure there's something I know, I know. There's gotta be you know, okay, my my peach is that I dropped my AirPods on the train today, which could have been a pit, but there's a very nice man behind me. It was a case I dropped who picked them up for me. And my peach is also that I befriended this woman. We parked next to each other every day and we smiled at each other in the car today. That's all I got. Yeah.

M1: Okay. This is ridiculous. Everyone is sad. The whole point of Pitt and Peach is that it can be anything, even small. As a special peach. No, there truly there's gotta be something. Okay, that's nice. Melcelade, a little peach.

Mouselet A: ⁓ my peach was getting to catch up a little bit on the sh show that me and MT like to watch, Rock the Block on HG T V.

M1: Okay, sometimes Mousel too won't record the podcast with me on a certain day because she has to watch that show.

M2: Well, it's important. Okay. Fact of the day. My fact of the day, I kinda scot into it, but I feel like I explained it poorly, is that, ⁓ yes, the Casey Junior attraction was the first that actually had like a separate soundtrack in the ride vehicles versus like speakers surrounding it. And now obviously that's integrated into all sorts of roller coasters, but that was the first one that tested it, which is super cool.

Mouselet A: It's important to us.

M1: Wow. Let's see, what's my fact of the day? Hmm. ⁓

M2: Anything from the trolley?

Mouselet A: No thanks. I'm all set.

M1: Do you have one, Nelsoday?

Mouselet A: No, you know, this is a really long episode and I figure just for time's sake I won't have a fact of the day.

M1: Okay, ⁓ my fact of the day, ⁓ for some reason I'm in the mood to do a tomorrow land fact. That's really where my brain is at. Okay, go ahead.

M2: I can offer you a different fact if you need one. Tributes Frozen Ever After to Maelstrom.

M1: in Frozen Ever After, like when you're boarding the ride, there's like a notice on the wall of some kind, or like a it's a board of something. And it says that there's going to be a maelstrom, which is like a type of storm. There's a reference to the fact that there's like a maelstrom storm coming, which is of course a tribute to Maelstrom since they re themed it, boo, into Frozen Ever After.

M2: There's like other tributes too. That was one of my favorite attractions in the park. ⁓ but all right, guys, that wraps up a long episode, but we had a lot I actually was worried we didn't have enough to say, but it turns out we had too much to say. So I don't know. I didn't know what would happen. ⁓ if you guys like this episode, give us a five star rating on Apple and Spotify. I feel like you didn't say that last week, M1, although I didn't finish the episode. ⁓ okay. And if you're listening on YouTube, make sure you subscribe to our channel and we'll see you all next Thursday for another episode of

M1: Yeah. I d I th I did, I did, and I struggled through it. I I I muscled my way through it.

M2: Sister sisters.
