Walkabout The World - A Disney Podcast - A Walkabout Listener Request Tour of Hollywood Studios [ep 027]

Episode Date: August 29, 2021

Hello Travelers! This week's episode is all about your suggestions! We asked you what areas of Disney's Hollywood Studios you'd like us to explore, you responded, and we let you guys be the guide. Starting at Echo Lake, we venture down Sunset Blvd and pause to take in the sounds of the music and the crowd. Next we headed further down to the Hollywood Tower hotel to not only seek out some ambiance, but also take in a tour of the Tower of Terror store. After a brief stop for some dinner we walked over to the Grand Ave and Baseline Taphouse area, where we took some time to read the signage on the shops along Grand Avenue, and then took a left turn into Grand Park to get some Muppets vibes. We ended the night in Galaxy's Edge under the rising moons of Batuu and the sounds of arriving and departing ships.   Thank you so much for giving us your thoughts - this was a very fun episode to record, and we hope you enjoy tagging along with us.    Look us up at @WalkaboutWDW on Instagram and drop us a note to say hi! Find our producer Josh also on Instagram at @TheSteele.

Well, hello travelers and welcome back to Walk About the World. How are you? You can't answer. I understand that. But, you are back with us. And what are we? We are your weekly auditory feast in the parks that you eat with your ears. Or your weekly audio expedition through the parks, or resorts, whatever, here in Orlando, Florida. And this evening, you can probably tell. Can you? Where are you? Hollywood Studios, yes. We're back at the studios. Love this park. We're

here early evening. It is not blisteringly hot, thank goodness. And we just came up Hollywood Boulevard and we took a left to investigate because we are over here by Echo Lake near the SS Down the Hatch, which is, what is the name of the eatery? Is this Dockside Diner? Yes, Dockside Diner. It used to be Men and Bills Dockside Diner. I don't know if it still is. I think it's just the Dockside Diner? Yes, Dockside Diner. It used to be Men and Bill's Dockside Diner. I don't know if it still is. I think it's just the Dockside Diner.

But Dockside Diner is indeed, once again, open again. And they have all kinds of goodies that if you have a cast iron stomach, you will enjoy. Most of the goodies that they have there, I'm afraid. I'm afraid to enjoy and then venture further into the parks. And the little stop go sign behind us is either saying stop or go. I'm not sure. But this evening's show is going to be driven by you. And what I mean by that is over on Instagram at walkaboutwdw, we put out a call for you guys to let us know, since we're coming back to the studios this week,

where you would like us to go, what you would like us to record. And several of you did just that. You chimed in. And we're going to go from one end of the park to the other this evening and basically just record and hang out and do what we do. We wander aimlessly, we record stuff, we talk about things that catch our eye, but the places that we go in the park are going to be driven by you. And so like several of you mentioned Sunset Boulevard,

or at least a couple of you mentioned Sunset Boulevard. I have here with me my on-site coordinator. We're trying to come up with a cool title and i thought that was that was the coolest we could come up with for this evening but in my on-site coordinator not my producer but it's heather hi heather hello travelers so heather who do we have that mentioned sunset boulevard if you can tell um it was Kate and also Real Dave Mitch. Alright, so Kate, Dave, we're going to leave here and rejoin you

guys on Sunset Boulevard because I happen to also know that two or three of you mentioned recording some ambience down there next to the Tower of Terror, Hollywood Tower Hotel. Why is that? I know why that is, because it's almost fall.

So I'm guessing you guys are mentioning Hollywood Tower of Terror because it's spooky season, maybe? Maybe you just love it, I don't know. But Sunset Boulevard leads us to that, so we're going to go down there and record some Sunset Boulevard action. And then do some Tower of Terror area. We're actually going to see if we can pop in the store. But we will rejoin you here in just a moment on Sunset Boulevard. Before we even make it over to Sunset Boulevard, before we left the Echo Lake area, I always duck in and look at some of the details over here.

And right next to the Coke store, you can get a permanent. And also there's a dentist's office. And there's a directory over here that has some of the doors you can go into. One is See How We Pull Them, DDS. In other words, Ruth Canal, DDS. See, it's dad jokes. But I love these. And also the Coke store is Peavey's

and it has some Rocketeer accoutrement. I'm blabbing. Let's, let's go to Sunset Boulevard. Here we go. I don't know what this song is called. I just know some of the lyrics to it. You are on Sunset Boulevard, folks. We got the crowd walking by. The sun is low in the sky. It's not dusk.

It's still like in the pre-sunset time, but like the sun's in the sky. We're across... Yeah, see? Long, long time. Is that the... I know that's a part of it. We're across from Legends of Hollywood.

And behind us is Beverly Sunset, now premiering Pixar Toys, Treasures, and Beyond. Used to be... That used to be the Villains Store, didn't it? And then it was also, I think, that's where you would get your candy and your sweets. I believe. I think it was the sweets and then the Villains Store you would get your candy and your sweets. I believe. I think it was the sweets and then the villain store. I can't remember, but it definitely was both of them. We used to pop in there and get Coke Zeros.

No longer R.I.P. Coke Zeros. That is right, right? They're not in there anymore? No, they're not. Yeah, see, somebody tell me. I'm blabbing over Sunset Boulevard stuff here, but what happened to my Coke Zeros in the parks, folks? I like that stuff. Directly down the street from us is the Majesty

Theater, where the stars shine. A sunset sensation. What is this building down here with the turret at the top? I should know this because I looked it up. We'll see when we walk by.

And over to the right we have the Pacific Electric Building, also known as the Starbucks location, also known as the caffeine injection station with the red tents next to it which is a really good spot to hang out when it's about 400 degrees outside. And you know, our occasional travelers walking by tend to gawk at us. I don't know what it is about you that makes them stare at us like this. I think you look great, personally. Or maybe they're looking

at me. Doubt it, but maybe. Down at the end of the street, Hollywood Tower Hotel, which we will be venturing to shortly and lining the streets. You already know this. I'm setting the scene. It's called professionalism, folks. We have the palm trees, and there is an unusually lovely breeze out this evening. And so the palm trees are swaying. Music's going. Here comes two wonderful cast members holding a giant pile of balloons. Toy Story balloons. We have BB-8 balloons floating at the top.

I honestly don't know how they do that job. I would be fired within a day. I was trying to see what it says right in front of us on this pillar, but it says Legends. Yeah. The store is called Legends of Hollywood, but there's an Art Deco pillar with neon lights going. It's behind a lamppost, and I can only see a little bit of it, but it says Legends. If I'm talking too much, let me know. Also, walk about behind the scenes. we've yet to have dinner and we were going to go right down the way to the left and try to snag some chicken nuggets or other various chicken parts at what's it called again right down here the rosie's all-amer? Yeah, Rosie's All-American. However, we switched that up.

So we're going to go down to Hollywood Tower Hotel, poke around, see what we can do. And then after that, we're going to work our way over to Backlot Express and get our assorted chicken parts and fried potato goodness. And work our way from there to some of the other places that you guys have mentioned. Ah, here we go. You know this one. Begin the begin. We see a young Jedi walking past with a backpack that looks like Yoda is hanging onto his shoulders. Well done. Well done, Padawan.

Now, you may say, what the heck is a Beguine? Let's begin the Beguine. Well, what is a Beguine, on-site coordinator? A beguine is a type of dance. I'm not really sure how you do the beguine, but I do know it's some type of dance. I can assure you that however you do the beguine, I shouldn't do it,

because rule number one here is always protect your annual pass, and I would be thrown out very quickly. But it is a dance of some sort, an old dance. So let's begin the beguine. Let's start dancing. We're not gonna. You can. I'm not going to. Okay. So what we're going to do next, we're going to walk carefully yet swiftly and gingerly. We're not going to do any of that. I'm not sure I'll do any of that.

But we're going to make our way down to Hollywood Tower Hotel and see what we can see with our ears. Are you ready? Are you ready? I'm ready. Let's go. So I had to pause because I'm correcting myself, but we're right next to 77 Sunset Boulevard, which is Carthay Circle. Come on, Jeremy. Carthay Circle, you knew that. And based on a real place,

and we're next to Mouse About Town and Sunset Club Couture, headed down towards the Beauty and the Beast area and then beyond to Hollywood Tower Hotel. Okay, here we go. Don't sweetheart me unless you mean it. Just saying. Don't do that. We have arrived.

Now, what I can't figure out... Oh, by the way, we're at the base of the Hollywood Tower Hotel. In a seating area that's right across from the exit, right across from the store. And underneath a wonderful pergola with vines growing over top of it. And I'm trying to figure out if the cicadas that I hear are real or piped in. Would Disney pipe in cicadas? I don't know. I'm leaning towards real in this case because there's trees right near us,

but I'm not sure. Also, there's some spooky music going on. I'm not sure how I would describe the soundtrack to this attraction. It's not exactly spooky. It's ethereal and matches pretty well with the era of Sunset Boulevard, as I'm sure it's designed to. But it has a distant... kind of... like you're hearing it from a very old recording or something.

Also, have you guys been to this seating area over here? There's literally nobody here but us, even though tons of people are coming off the ride. We're actually right behind the Joffrey's stand, booth, kiosk, store, whatever it is. Now, I can hear the muted screams of the people who are dropping right now. I'm not sure if you guys can hear that or not. It is actually pretty muted here because we're around the side of the building instead of in the front you guys hear the cicadas I I'm thinking real, yeah? The weird thing is we didn't hear them at all until we came down here, so I don't know.

Now what we're going to do is we're going to mask up because you have to. I haven't heard an announcement here about that. Have you? I haven't heard anything. Oh. I think they stopped doing that when they changed the mask rules multiple times. I think they've just not played the recording. Okay, I kind of thought there would be one again, but so far no announcement. You guys should still brush your teeth and be nice to your teachers, though.

But what we're going to do is mask up. Everybody's a comedian, right, folks? We're going to mask up because you need to mask up right now if you go inside. And so we're going to go in the store, Hollywood Tower, Tower of Terror Hotel store, and look around. And you know what we're going to do? We're going to talk our way through the store, briefly,

because, you know, what everybody wants is to hear me describe what's in a store. I've heard your many cries for this. Literally no one has asked this, but we're going to do it anyway. We're going to go in the store, look around, we're going to see what's there, see if they have any cool, new, or interesting spooky Tower of Terror stuff. So, masking up, then let's go. Ready? Here we go. I've got my mask on, can you tell? It's like the old days, behind the mask and behind the mic.

So before we even go in the store, they have have two windows bay windows on either side of it both of them with awesome decoration some pumpkins old table uh weirdly like a hairbrush over there i'm not sure in case the ghosts need to uh tidy up I guess. Alright let's go in. Amazing amazing poster like as soon as you hit the door you can look in you can see this amazing poster for the Hollywood Tower Hotel. Drop in and stay a while it says. I love it. I'm probably the least qualified person to describe some of this stuff, but as soon as you walk into the store, we went to the left, and they have some shirts and purses, some ears. They have the ears that look like black leather,

and then ones that have the gold sparklies on them. See, I'm not an ear collector, so I can't really tell you. The next section, we have a ton of Nightmare Before Christmas stuff, which is entirely appropriate and I entirely support. Including some Jack Skellington light-up necklaces.

We have an Oogie Boogie plush. What is this? What is this thing? I don't remember. It's a snake. Snake from Nightmare. I'm not sure. Nightmare Before Christmas What is this thing? I don't remember. It's a snake. Snake from Nightmare. I'm not sure. Nightmare before Christmas snake looking thing. Which maybe has a name.

I'm not sure. And then you have Zero is my hero shirt here. Everybody who comes off the ride is utterly, completely pumped full of of adrenaline and so like everybody who walks by is like totally stoked i think that's kind of unique because disney is not a major thrill ride area but okay so we're looking at a nightmare before christmas black and white dress. It looks really cool. Jack Skellington mug. And then what else we got? We have a Jack Skellington wreath made out of, looks like it's made out of little bones. We have an Oogie Boogie hat

that looks like it's made out of Oogie Boogie's material. Dig that. And then to our left, we have the entrance to the Tower Hotel. It's actually the exit to the ride, but that's fine. We have Jenga, weirdly. I'm not sure. Oh, you know what? Okay. It's the Disney theme park Hollywood Tower of Terror Jenga edition. Did you know that existed?

No, I did not. I didn't. What is this? T-shirt? T-shirt in a tube. T-shirt in a tube. Oh, wait. Hang on. I'm not going to tell you what this is. You're going to hear what this is. So you can have your very own Hollywood Tower Hotel bell to take home with you

and set on your desk or your co-worker's desk. Annoy the heck out of somebody. We have Hollywood Tower bathrobes. Am I saying that right? It's a bathrobe? A robe? Maybe it's not a bathrobe.

Just a robe. Just a robe. And it's black. This is a... They have a brand new... Is it new? Yes, it's a brand new Lounge Fly Haunted Mansion little backpack. Lounge Fly, and it's got like your... No, wait a minute. Is this... Yeah. There's a hat box ghost. There's Madame Leota. Okay. There's the hitchhiking ghost. We're blending the IPs here, but, like, that's okay.

What's the price on that bad boy? $75? $75. $75 for your lounge fly. Like, it went up. It went around. Backpack. They're quite small.

I don't think you can fit a whole lot in one of those guys also tell me why they have the uh trust rust ease sign in here it's 150 bucks i have no idea what it has to do with tower of terror but trust rust ease rear end formula Trust Rust-Ease. Rear-end formula. Hmm. Then, lastly, over to the left, you have the Tower Hotel Gallery, which is a section of Disney art, puzzles, assorted ephemera.

Okay, let's head out. Like I said, so much adrenaline. Alright, how we doing? Did you enjoy the tour of the Hollywood Tower store? We haven't done the store tours. Not star tours, store tours. I can't help myself, guys. I'm sorry. We're currently standing next to the stop and go sign, next to, well, on the corner of Sunset Boulevard and Gower Street.

It's either Gower or Gower Street. It's G-O-W-E-R Street, and that's the street that leads down to your right towards Rockin' Roller Coaster. And if you know the significance of Gower Street, which I have not at all bothered for even one second to investigate, drop us a note over at WalkaboutWDW on Instagram. Let us know. I'll mention you. So we're facing back down Sunset Boulevard now.

We're right next to Hollywood Scoops Ice Cream and Fairfax Fair. And here's our Disney helicopter. Everybody wave to BioReconstruct. I have no idea if that's him or not, but I like to think it is always. It's a black helicopter. It's either the government or BioReconstruct. So we're going to head over from here back down towards Hollywood Boulevard and then across Echo Lake over to our food destination and we're not going

to record eating because that wouldn't be right but we're going to go grab some chicken and fry goodness and then rejoin you after with more of your suggestions here we go we made it over to Backlot Express with our chicken parts. Chicken parts are delicious, by the way. Also, I needed to mention that the people who had suggested we go over to the Hollywood Tower of Terror are Tamarack Vinyl Co. Hope I got that right. Friend Like Sarah. And Kilted Jedi Rick.

Our friend Rick from California. Thanks for suggesting that. We're going to indulgence to some unhealthy park food for a brief moment. Delicious, yet not healthy, but that's okay. And then we're going to go next to the Muppets area and Grand Avenue. And we'll tell you who suggested that when we head that way. All right. All right. so dinner is done back lot was nearly empty because it closes actually it just closed we left basically when it closed it closes at eight now it was closing like five or 5 30 or something wasn't it heather

actually maybe even four back in the day in the height of all of this but we have a couple of folks that mentioned things in this area so dave mitchell mentioned muppets and we're not going to do the muppets attraction because we actually have a full episode of that. We will no doubt do that again and record it again, but we're not going to do that tonight. But we are going to go down Grand Avenue, take a left, go over by the Muppet Fountain and by Gonzo's Royal Flush, all that good stuff. The best attractions. The rat-owned bathroom. It's not, wait a minute, no. Rat owns the pizza. Gonzo owns the bathroom. He's a plumber, by the way, so, you know, fits. And you are currently at the corner of Grand Avenue,

right next to Baseline Tap House, which was mentioned by Kate. So, there are not many people at the old Baseline right now. And it is entirely pleasant. It is full-on dusk now. It is much cooler. I think it felt like 104 today earlier, but I think it only feels like a brisk 89 or something right now. When you're in Florida, 89 feels good.

Right across from the Disney Vacation Club kiosk, catty corner to the Ewoks that we can hear screaming in the trees on occasion. We just did walk by. Ewoks are doing their thing up in the trees over by Star Tours. And so what we're going to do, because this is our thing, is that down Grand Avenue on the right, there's a series of storefronts and shops with some cool signage and things in the window. And I don't think we've talked about them before. So we're going to walk down Grand Avenue past Baseline, talk about some of the shops,

take a left over by Muppets, explore there. And then we have one more destination to head to before the night is over, but thanks for mentioning this stuff, guys. Here we go. You're now officially on Grand Avenue, and the corner store is 722 Grand Avenue, which is Angelino Alterations. A little stitch of heaven, it says. Custom alterations, pants hemmed while you wait. So if you have a malfunction with your drawers while at Hollywood Studios, you can head over to Angelo Angelino Alterations.

Men's bespoke tailor and tuxedo rental, by the way. What's next? Here we have, is there a number? I don't see a number to this one, but it is the Mercado. The Garcia sisters are the proprietors of this. Let us cater your next event. And my on-site coordinator just pointed out that this is 724 Grand Avenue. And yes yes? Can we help you? No? Okay.

A family of fine foods, it says, since 1933. Fine sandwiches, artisan breads, imported cheese, handcrafted sausages. I like a good handcrafted sausage. Fresh fruits and veggies. Birthday parties, family reunions, gradu graduations and so much more the garcia sisters at the mercado is this part of the mercado i think it is there's a there's a window here it's got all kinds of oh yes it's got uh your sandwiches and the sausages are hanging. And some container of water just bit the dust.

You have a Coca-Cola crate in there, some signs. It says, you've Gouda Bree kidding me. Anyway, moving on. What's next? The Spring Flower Market, 726 Grand Avenue. Blooming happiness since 1978. Window full of flower bouquets. Cool. 728 Grand Avenue is just an entry, two double doors to the Grand Lofts. This is what I'm interested in. Says, live grand at the Grand Lofts. One and two bedroom luxury units.

Now available. Leasing office open daily. Dude, I want an apartment on Grand Avenue. It can't be more expensive than Celebration. We don't live in Celebration, but we did. We had an apartment there, and basically it was like all the money you got and a couple of body parts. It can't be more than that here. Harmony Music is the next storefront. Again, I'm missing a number, but we may find one. Your one-stop music shop, it says. You've got all kinds of instruments here.

A big bass, a harp, guitars, a uke, horns of different flavors. And actually, this is a sprawling store. It goes all the way down to the far corner. Oh yeah, here you have your brass instruments down here and then it keeps going. The very, very corner you have your percussion drum sets and also a few guitars down here too. Specialty instruments it says.

Buy, sell or trade. Very cool. We're going to take a turn around here and go back and have ourselves a seat next to Grand Avenue. Because why not? How are we feeling?

Good. Corresponding a few words here. It's not blistering hot. It's actually comfortable. It feels like 91 right now. I just looked it up. Yeah, we just looked it up. It says it feels like 91.

Now, to us, it does not. It feels way more comfy than that. I see the flashing sign for Rizzo's pizza across the way gonzo's royal flush directly across the corner from us i love the fact that they lined this street with crepe myrtles i know i'm doing my doing my plant thing again, but like these trees in the summer are really lush and it makes it look like an actual city street instead of what used to be the old streets of America. And I'm not down on it. I like the streets of America, but they were kind of

they were kind of barren of vegetation and brutally hot. This is always a lively place because you have a lot of people coming and going from Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. And right now there are a lot more going than coming in. It's almost full dark now. It is deep dusk. The street lamps are on on Grand Avenue. The little lamps along the sidewalks underfoot are on. The lights around the parks are coming on. There's not much better of a place to be. I mean, Sunset Boulevard, you could argue.

But not much better place to be in the evening than right here. Soaking up the park atmosphere and the Grand Avenue tunes. I dig it. Thanks for mentioning this. Kind of needed this. All right. So there is a water feature nearby. Plus David wanted us to go over there So we're going to go over to Muppet Courtyard Take in all that is The Muppets

Other than the show That would be a lot more Muppets We're not going to do that We're just going to go over there and soak up some vibes real quick And some water Water features let's go can't resist a water feature and we are here near the wretched refuse and those of you that have been travelers for a little while know about this,

the little boat with the two rats on it, in the water at the Miss Piggy Fountain, the boat at the back says, The Wretched Refuse. Miss Piggy is there in all of her glory. The little fish are spitting their water. Right down the way to the left is Pizza Rizzo, and then one of our favorite places to be down at the corner is Mama Melrose. We are in Grand Park, by the way. That's what this area is called.

Right across from the Grand Arts Theater, which is the home of Muppet Vision 3D and who do we see outside it will be known as the world famous Sweetums Sweetums and he's got his little paddle the little the little paddle with the ball I don't know if it has a better name than a paddle with a ball but he's got that it is just entirely pleasant and i love it the city's top rated pizza it says in neon flashing lights i'm guessing it's the only pizzeria in the city and over here by gonzo's royalush is a sign that says restrooms. Executive Used Toilet Showroom. Okay. Alright, we have one more destination.

And we'll catch up with you there in a minute and tell you who suggested it. Not sure if you can tell from the background music and the trash can, but you are now in Star Wars Galaxy's Edge, otherwise known as Batuu. We're right in the entryway, and there is a huge line of travelers waiting on their chance to get onto Rise of the Resistance. I'm not really sure why they have the line going back here. I haven't seen this before. But thanks to DC and Michelle Du. And if I said that incorrectly, I'm sorry. Correct me.

But you guys suggested Batuu. And you don't have to ask me twice. It's one of my favorite areas. We're going to walk on back. I want to go all the way back to the Falcon, hang out there a few. We'll catch some sounds, have a little chat. See you back there. So, much like Pandora, the soundscape in and around Batuu changes throughout the day and into the evening. Including some things I don't think I want to meet. But if you are here late, when you're almost out of the land and you're nearing Rise of the Resistance, stop, because it's a trail through a wooded area.

Stop and listen. You can hear all kinds of cool stuff. Again, soundscape, imagineering, amazing. That didn't sound right. All right, we are at the Falcon. And there's a lively crowd over here this evening, which I love to see. I'm going to count. Ready? Here we go. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12. At least 12 lightsabers in view.

Everybody taking pictures in front of the Falcon. I just love it. It's the one place where you feel like if you need a little Star Wars hit, come over here after dark. Batuu by the Falcon, you can't go wrong. DC and Michelle, thanks for suggesting it.

It is completely dark now. We are nearing park close. And the folks just stay over here with the lightsabers and take pictures. Actually, they stay over here until after park close. It's got some great sounds over here. A little bit quiet. You can hear the background hum of the falcon right now but it's a very pleasant place to be and also what's cool the entrance to smugglers run is just to our left and the the doorway is huge and the air conditioning just

pours out of there because it is not incredibly. At least for a Floridian right now. But it is humid. You know. Florida humidity. Even more lightsabers have joined. I would bet there's 20 out here right now. Have you been to Batuu? Have you been to Black Spire? Travelers? Drop us a note and tell me.

Ship coming in. We're seated at one of the crates over here near the Falcon. You can literally feel the whole ground shake. If you are a casual theme park visitor, which you probably aren't if you're listening to this right now, but if you're a casual theme park visitor, which you probably aren't if you're listening to this right now, but if you're a casual theme park visitor or, you know, maybe on the edges of Star Wars fandom, you know who Darth Vader is, you know who Luke Skywalker is, maybe you know who, you know, Rey and Kylo and those guys are, but you're not really in the middle of it. I can see coming over here and thinking, wow,

there's, you know, there's two rides and a droid build thing and a shop here or there and and that's about it however and though that's not wrong i suppose it is a land not a park and one of the things that we have learned is that you come over here and you just make the land your own. There's loads of details to seek out. There's people over here with sabers hanging out. Lots of people cosplaying. You can see folks walking around. We actually just saw a male ray, which is not that unusual, frankly, which I think is really cool. You can see lots of little rays and grown-up rays and your occasional Jedi robe walking around.

Your occasional Kylo that's not a Disney Kylo. He can't wear a helmet but you can definitely see a Kylo here and there. It's very cool. Come over and make the land your own. It's a good place to end the day. And I know, Mr. Privilege

you're talking talking but since we're locals and it's late and if you remember it's Wednesday and it's a work day tomorrow we're actually not going to stay for the night time show but we will come back soon and capture that I even have an episode in mind for that

so traveler I hope you enjoyed this evening tour of Hollywood Studios. We basically took a tour of the entire park. We didn't stop by Toy Story Land, which we should have. It's late, so I don't think we're going to get to. We'll do that soon as well. That's actually on the list.

I have a list, believe it or not. But thanks for joining us. Hope you enjoyed yourselves soaking in a little bit of the park vibes. If you're new to Walk About the World, this is what we do. We seek to be the least ambitious Disney podcast. We meander around the parks. There's plenty of places to get Disney park news, plenty of places to get Disney park history.

But every single episode, every single thing that you hear is always recorded in park, not in the studio as it were. So every time you listen, you're right here with us. And this is what we do. We try to put you in the park and give you guys a taste of what we love. As always, look us up on Instagram at walkaboutwdw. It is our one and only place where we interact with you guys. The listeners, the travelers, look up our producer Josh at thesteel, with an E, also on Instagram.

Drop us a note, say hi, introduce yourselves. We love to hear from you. Pardon me, travelers. Pardon me. There is a great, big, beautiful tomorrow out there waiting for us. And also, may the force be with you. Is that appropriate? And also, Heather, thanks for hanging out. You're welcome. Just want to be in here. Fun having somebody to tag along, especially our official on-site coordinator. If you guys have a better idea, let me know. Whoa.

Another ship coming in. Behind the mask when I'm inside, but not behind the mask right now, but behind the microphone is me, Jeremy. See you guys on another walk about the world. Bye. me see you guys on another walk about the world bye I think the's gonna make it this time. Come on, baby. You can do it. God dang it.

I really thought. I really thought that was the one. Chewie's got to keep working on it. Anyway, I already said goodbye, okay? What are you guys still doing here? See ya.
