[1:16] David Alpert: Get ready to skip down Main Street with Autumn Hurlbert.

[1:27] David Alpert: Well, this is such a treat. I get to talk to one of my best friends about Disneyland, Autumn. Are you prepared for what a fun time we're about to have?

[1:36] Autumn Hurlbert: I'm always prepared for Disneyland.

[1:38] David Alpert: Okay, so I think it is important for the listeners to learn about our first friend date. So we're gonna go back in time to 2010. You and I saw a movie together.

[1:45] David Alpert: We'd only met the year before during a concert. But let's cause I think this is crucial for what we're about to get into to know how our friendship really started. Which what movie were we seeing in the theaters, Autumn?

[2:00] Autumn Hurlbert: Toy Story 3, to be specific.

[2:03] David Alpert: That's right. It was Toy Story 3. We were we didn't know each other that well.

[2:09] Autumn Hurlbert: No, we it was like a budding friendship.

[2:12] David Alpert: Yeah, we were like on a date.

[2:14] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah, they're like most people go for drinks or like a walk in Central Park. We're like, more we can go see Toy Story 3.

[2:21] David Alpert: And there was a moment, and this is important for the story to know that it was Toy Story 3, but in 3D.

[2:27] Autumn Hurlbert: So we were wearing 3D.

[2:29] David Alpert: So I wore glasses, so I had 3D glasses over it.

[2:33] Autumn Hurlbert: Over glasses. But there was a moment where in the movie the toys are experiencing some pretty high drama.

[2:41] David Alpert: High dress, yes.

[2:43] Autumn Hurlbert: Specifically on a ramp heading into an incinerator. And I was thinking, as I'm crying, do not let Autumn see you.

[2:54] Autumn Hurlbert: So I take my hooded sweatshirt and I cover my face. And I take my scarf and I had to pull it up to my nose because I'm full on bawling, snotting.

[3:05] Autumn Hurlbert: And I don't have we didn't have any Kleenex or anything. Nothing. I drenched my scarf.

[3:10] David Alpert: And then and then it as I looked over and I was like, oh my gosh, we're the same thing.

[3:16] Autumn Hurlbert: I think we both started laughing, and we're like, okay.

[3:19] David Alpert: Yeah. We were probably the only adults in the theater that were crying hysterically and then laughing at the saddest part.

[3:26] Autumn Hurlbert: Just 3D glasses, fabric covering our faces.

[3:32] David Alpert: Oh my god. I mean, did we even know that each other loved Disney as much as we love Disney is that at that point?

[3:39] Autumn Hurlbert: I don't I mean, I'm assuming anytime someone meets me, it comes up pretty quickly in conversation.

[3:44] Autumn Hurlbert: But I don't think we had really gotten into it at that point.

[3:48] Autumn Hurlbert: Because I'd only met you the year before, briefly. I mean the floodgates were opened after that.

[3:53] David Alpert: It was fair game.

[3:55] Autumn Hurlbert: That's right, that's right. So we know we love Disney together. You shared with me so many delicious photos of you at Disneyland as a kid.

[4:02] David Alpert: Yeah. Do you remember any specific moments of your earliest trips to the parks?

[4:07] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my gosh, so many. I think one of my most memorable trips was um I was a little bit a little bit older.

[4:14] Autumn Hurlbert: Um I'm terrible with remembering ages and stuff, but I was probably around nine or ten. And it was one of the anniversaries, and so Disney was like decked out.

[4:27] Autumn Hurlbert: Um and I remember, you know, I had a little allowance and we it was a big trip. My uncle was getting married and he lived in California and we were doing everything like Universal Sea World, Disneyland, and all of the kids all my my brother and my cousins, we all had money to spend and I was the only one who saved every single penny for Disneyland.

[4:48] Autumn Hurlbert: I was like, I don't need that SeaWorld stuff, I don't need that. I need Disney. And I remember that uh all day long I didn't spend anything until right before the light parade and my parents were like, Autumn, if you want something, you have to get it now.

[5:04] Autumn Hurlbert: And I made my mom go in every shop and I had to really weigh my options and I was like, Do I want jewelry? It'll last a long time. Or do I want to love you? Because then I can love it. Or do I want to a m you know, some m other memento?

[5:16] Autumn Hurlbert: And I ended up getting a sweatshirt that I wore. It looked like mobs had attacked it by the time we were done with it.

[5:24] Autumn Hurlbert: Because I wore it so many times it had holes in the armpits. It you know, the the wrist elastic and worn out. It was trash because I wore it.

[5:33] Autumn Hurlbert: I we we lived in Arizona and I brought up I bought a sweatshirt. I wore a sweatshirt in Arizona.

[5:40] David Alpert: What was on the sweatshirt?

[5:41] Autumn Hurlbert: It was Eeyore, which is funny. It was Eeyore, which is super funny because Piglet is my favorite.

[5:47] Autumn Hurlbert: Well, but yes, purple is my favorite color. And I don't know, at that time of light, I don't know, nine years old, like prepubescent, I just had a thing for those like sad little emo eyes.

[5:58] Autumn Hurlbert: It was just so cute.

[6:00] David Alpert: I know. Eeyore is delightful.

[6:02] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh cute, it's the best. But you were you were very what's the the what's the right word? Animated in those photos?

[6:11] Autumn Hurlbert: Full expression.

[6:12] David Alpert: Oh, full. Did you remember loving Disneyland more than the average kid?

[6:18] Autumn Hurlbert: Absolutely. Absolutely. And even I mean, my whole family loves Disneyland.

[6:25] Autumn Hurlbert: Like even my grandparents, they they didn't go till much much later and much less often than my family did, but I grew up on Disney movies and Disney music.

[6:36] Autumn Hurlbert: My grandpa loved musicals and loved music, and we would listen to records of like cast recordings.

[6:45] Autumn Hurlbert: Um and I remember listening to the cast recording of Cinderella, and he got the record of the music from Snow White, and we would listen to that.

[6:55] Autumn Hurlbert: And so I mean it was I was just sort of I don't know, inundated with it from a very young age, without it being like we're a you know, it w it wasn't like we're we're a Disney family.

[7:07] Autumn Hurlbert: I think my family just loves the magic, and that was just part of our lives.

[7:13] Autumn Hurlbert: And so by the time I got to Disneyland it was I think it oh wow I think I might have peaked the first time I went to Disneyland in respect to getting somewhere and the the the actual place met my expectations you know and it has every single time I have never I've been to Disneyland I I don't even know how many times now and every time I go it's never boring it's never disappointing it's never there's always something new um I don't know I just and I I I just love it so much I love it so much I'm like a kid I'm like a kid every time I go and I just love it so much I could cry just talking about it right now do it cry for the listeners give them the emotion and minute I mean you don't have to tell me how much I mean like this is why I think we've bonded so quickly whether it's watching Toy Story 3 or just talking about it.

[8:16] David Alpert: But you know I always wonder because even though I'm from the you know I'm from Michigan we would go to Disneyland as a kid we never went to Disney World because because of where our family was and I always think like what if you and I were at the park at the same time it's possible.

[8:28] Autumn Hurlbert: Sure we were yeah also I think about my husband Tim we had to have been in the park at the same time at some point because he was born and raised near in l uh um your Belinda which is next door to Anaheim so his family they had I know your Belinda um but his his entire family, they had season passes for as long as he could remember.

[8:51] Autumn Hurlbert: Like when he his junior and senior year of school, they would ditch school in the afternoon and go to Disneyland.

[8:57] David Alpert: I remember when you started dating Tim, one of the first things you told me, or maybe you were already married, but you shared that he had gone to Club 33, or he told me that.

[9:06] David Alpert: And I guess remember thinking like, okay, that is so rude, but I'm glad you're with someone who appreciates it.

[9:13] Autumn Hurlbert: And I still have never been.

[9:15] David Alpert: We'll make that happen someday.

[9:18] Autumn Hurlbert: Someday my club will come.

[9:22] David Alpert: That was beautiful. I do. I think before you go into Club 33, or maybe the same trip, it's you and I have to go together.

[9:29] Autumn Hurlbert: That's never happened.

[9:31] David Alpert: No, I don't need to go with Tim. I need to go with you.

[9:33] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah, it'll be a mess. I can't wait.

[9:34] Autumn Hurlbert: Tim and I have had our other Disneyland experiences. We need to go.

[9:49] David Alpert: Autumn, you shared that you grew up loving the Disney movies and listening to those records. Did you have a favorite Disney movie as a kid?

[9:57] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, I mean, Lion King was like uh we I remember watch going to the theater with my friends to watch it and then waiting, like checking at Blockbuster video or wherever we bought, you know, the vault, the the copy of it, like waiting.

[10:17] Autumn Hurlbert: We wanted to be there the first day to get it so that we all had it. Um I don't know, I was obsessed, and you know, we sang the songs in choir.

[10:25] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, but then like it's so typical, but uh the Little Mermaid, I wore out two tapes of the Little Mermaid.

[10:34] Autumn Hurlbert: It was just my little comfort thing. I I remember in college, I would put it on while I was studying.

[10:41] Autumn Hurlbert: Like a little on my tiny teeny tiny dorm TV with the VCR. I would just put Little Mermaid on.

[10:47] David Alpert: Yeah.

[10:48] Autumn Hurlbert: That's normal.

[10:49] David Alpert: Yeah, right. Everybody does that.

[10:51] Autumn Hurlbert: It didn't annoy my roommates at all.

[10:53] Autumn Hurlbert: At all. I was the cool one.

[10:55] David Alpert: Yeah, duh.

[10:58] David Alpert: What about? I mean, besides probably part of your world and and the other wonderful music from Lion King and Little Mermaid. Were there other like classic Disney songs you love to sing?

[11:10] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, yeah, I mean, I was obsessed with Snow White, so someday my Prince will come was always in my ear.

[11:16] Autumn Hurlbert: And that's actually how I tried to teach myself. I always, uh, when I was a young singer, I just was like loud and proud, bright, straight tone.

[11:25] Autumn Hurlbert: And I tried to teach myself vibrato by listening to that. And I remember I used to shake my whole body to make it like hers.

[11:33] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, but I was obsessed with um, oh, I was also obsessed, obsessed with sleeping beauty, and not Aurora.

[11:42] Autumn Hurlbert: I was like, yeah, she's fine, she's fine. But I loved Maleficent.

[11:46] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my, I wanted to be her, and I always felt that she was just so misunderstood.

[11:52] Autumn Hurlbert: You know, I think I think it was like, you know, she is.

[11:56] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, but I think it was like the little fem the tiny budding feminist in me that was like, she just she has to survive in this world where beauty is the only thing that matters, and you know, she's so powerful, and no one respects her power because Aurora was just born with blonde hair and blue eyes.

[12:12] Autumn Hurlbert: Like, what gives?

[12:14] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, and I loved, oh my gosh, I love the little fairies.

[12:17] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my gosh, Sword and Stone.

[12:19] David Alpert: See, I'm not talking about music.

[12:20] Autumn Hurlbert: No, I'm just talking about it.

[12:21] David Alpert: No, no, you're you're good.

[12:22] Autumn Hurlbert: You're good. There's a great photo of you with Merlin.

[12:25] Autumn Hurlbert: Merlin, oh my gosh.

[12:27] Autumn Hurlbert: I was so serious. It's the only, it is literally except for the there's another picture of me like buying a frozen banana, which is my favorite.

[12:35] Autumn Hurlbert: No, frozen lemonade.

[12:36] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, those are like the only two pictures of me being remotely serious, and it was because I had such respect for Merlin and my parents said he was like so jolly, and I had so many questions for him, like really serious questions.

[12:52] Autumn Hurlbert: And I was like, is there a trick for the sword by the carousel? Because I'm going home with that today, and I know you know how.

[12:59] David Alpert: Yeah.

[13:00] Autumn Hurlbert: What how can you train me in the next four minutes?

[13:03] David Alpert: That sword has come up on this podcast often. You know, Alicia Umfris actually got to pull the sword out of the stone when she went as a kid.

[13:11] Autumn Hurlbert: But in 1998, my sisters and I went to the parks for like three days because my dad was going to a rabbinic conference in Anaheim.

[13:20] Autumn Hurlbert: So we got to so we got to go for like three days.

[13:23] Autumn Hurlbert: And Gilana, my sister, kept wanting to be chosen because she had a crush on Merlin. So we watched that ceremony like four or five times over three days. I memorized. Yeah, and she was never chosen. It never worked out.

[13:39] David Alpert: Cruel.

[13:39] Autumn Hurlbert: It is cruel. So every time I go to the park, I still go to that sword and the stone. I always try my luck, but I still haven't been able to pull that sword out of the stone.

[13:47] David Alpert: Well, you know what? We're gonna go to Club 33, and then we're gonna waltz on in there. We're just gonna walk right up that stone. We're gonna like push some kids away.

[13:56] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah. I'm gonna like lift up some little dude. I'm gonna be like, no, no. I'm a middle-aged woman and I'm getting this.

[14:16] David Alpert: Autumn speaking of Disney songs, you and I always chuckle about this. In January of 2013, you and Eric Morris sang "Love is an Open Door" at the Living for Today concert benefiting Gillon is fun. And one of the videos has over 159,000 views.

[14:32] Autumn Hurlbert: That's crazy.

[14:33] David Alpert: Because people thought that you and Eric were the voices of Frozen.

[14:38] Autumn Hurlbert: Yes. Because Frozen had just come out the month before, and I and Adina actually sang at that concert as well.

[14:42] David Alpert: That's right. And I think people thought that you were Kristen Bell.

[14:47] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, in my dreams.

[14:51] David Alpert: But we found the music randomly somewhere. I think it's possible that you and Eric were the first people to sing that song in a concert setting.

[14:59] Autumn Hurlbert: 99% positive we were.

[15:01] David Alpert: And it was great.

[15:03] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my gosh. It's such a good song.

[15:05] David Alpert: It's a great story. That whole, I mean, aside from that being like magic crack music for kids, that whole for like "Let It Go." Um, it's just such, I mean, make those musical theater composers write all the scores always.

[15:22] Autumn Hurlbert: I mean, Alan Menken, like, uh, you know, I it's magic. That music is magic, and that song is so funny and it's so earnest, and it's so simple. It's just, oh my gosh. That was one of my most favorite um LFT experiences.

[15:40] David Alpert: Well, it was uh you both did very, very well. But I just remember, you know, because I saw Frozen a little bit before it was released, and so I remember loving that song. And once we were kind of putting the show together, I was like, oh, this would be a great song. Oh, let's do it. You know.

[15:54] Autumn Hurlbert: Yes. And then we added our own little spin to it. We had some fun, we had some fun.

[16:01] David Alpert: So on let's talk about Piglet.

[16:03] Autumn Hurlbert: You love him.

[16:04] David Alpert: I love Piglet.

[16:08] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah. Yes. So my mom always loved Pooh. In fact, that's like one of her nicknames is Pooh. Her name is Paula. Um, and so uh, you know, I remember my dad would get her like little Winnie the Pooh gifts, like little just little trinkets or you know, a little print of something. Um, and so uh, you know, I grew up with all of the original books, and I just have always loved Piglet, and I think it's um it's funny because it's not like it's not like I saw I saw myself in Piglet and that it was like the smallest one, and you know, and a little optimist. Um, but I don't know, it was um I just always loved I just love Piglet. I just love how I love his I love his answers to everything, you know.

[16:58] David Alpert: Like Pooh always seemed like kind of a I would be so exasperated with Pooh. Like, get it together, dude. Come on.

[17:06] Autumn Hurlbert: But Piglet is always so patient, and always is like, you know, Pooh can ask the dumbest question, and Piglet treats it as like the greatest philosophical question in the world, and I have the simplest, most beautiful answer, and then just walking down that little path to the sunset together. I just it's so it was like it was my first um infatuation with romantic relationship with Pooh and Piglet, I think.

[17:35] David Alpert: Oh do you relate?

[17:39] Autumn Hurlbert: Well, do you relate to Piglet in any way?

[17:42] David Alpert: I mean, sort of I I'm not the you know I mean I'm a natural skeptic. I I ask a lot of questions. I love to play devil's advocate. I'm I mean but I think part of that I I'm not like Tim is a skeptic. He is like science or nothing, you know he is he's always a little bit wary of things.

[18:05] Autumn Hurlbert: And mine doesn't I don't think I mine come my skepticism comes from a place of being wary. I think it um, you know I think it comes from a more like inquisitive curious place um in that I just think I'm very empathetic. I'm just like well I I you know I get that you were wrong but I also get why the other person wronged you because it's there's no black and white everything is nebulous you know um and so I I kind of love that Piglet is curious but also has well I want to say Piglet always has the non-answer you know here's the answer to the equation it was like well here's the beautiful one beautiful explanation of that problem it could be this you know it was always more of a suggestion than an answer and I think I I think I kind of saw what I want who I want to be in Piglet.

[19:10] Autumn Hurlbert: I think Piglet is who I want to be as an old lady you know when I don't have any more yeah. Any more fucks to give and I I just be like this happy old yeah.

[19:23] David Alpert: Do you feel like if Piglet is who you're going to become, is there a Winnie the Pooh character you are now?

[19:30] Autumn Hurlbert: Tigger.

[19:31] David Alpert: Yeah, I was gonna say, yeah.

[19:34] Autumn Hurlbert: I think I'm I'm much more an Eeyore or a Pooh, but yeah, you're definitely a Tigger.

[19:39] David Alpert: Yeah, you're like in because you're not you're not like a sad sap like Eeyore, you know what I mean? You're definitely you have way more optimism um than Eeyore, you know.

[19:50] Autumn Hurlbert: But yeah, he and I do have a lot of similarities though.

[19:53] David Alpert: Yeah.

[19:53] Autumn Hurlbert: But but I I yeah, I I sometimes do th I don't know, actually. I'm not sure. I feel like I'm much more of a Christopher Robin.

[19:59] David Alpert: I was just gonna say that. I was just gonna say you're the Christopher Robin. You're the director, you're like the leader of the gang.

[20:06] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah. Yes, you're the innovator. You're the, you know.

[20:09] David Alpert: I did have Eeyore on my bar mitzvah cake though.

[20:14] Autumn Hurlbert: You did.

[20:15] David Alpert: I did because my my tour portion was about a donkey and so there it was.

[20:22] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my gosh, that's so cute. Wait, did you also have Dopey? Have you always loved Dopey?

[20:28] David Alpert: I've always loved Dopey. What's funny is this is coming up a lot. When I ask someone their favorite Disney character, I just expect someone to be able to answer. Like when I asked you, I think via text a few weeks ago, I was like, Who's your favorite character? And you were like Piglet. I was like, Great. When I asked someone they'll be like, Oh, I haven't really thought about that. I was like, I don't understand. Why have you not thought about that? How?

[20:46] Autumn Hurlbert: But then there's of course true Disney fans often will say, like, well, let's get specific. Do you mean like classic Disney, Renaissance Disney characters in the park? It's like, okay. But there's a photo of, you know, many photos of me as a kid loving Dopey. Like Dopey night shirts and dopey in the parks.

[21:05] David Alpert: I know. Oh, I wanted a dopey night shirt so bad.

[21:08] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my gosh. And I never got one. I think well it always came, I don't know, I just loved the I love the little earrings and the I always loved the figurines though at and the stuffed animals. I was a sucker for the stuffed animals. Like in one of those pictures, I have now I can't remember the name, but from Captain EO, the little alien with the long tail. It was this little fuzzy alien. Both my brother and I got one and I still have mine. It's gotta be worth some money.

[21:33] David Alpert: There was at the like the Disney stores as a kid that used to be like super awesome. They they've kind of changed.

[21:39] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my god. You could buy all these glass figurines. And I bought like Snow White each dwarf, and I brought Snow White to my kindergarten class and it broke, and I was devastated. And my kindergarten teacher said, Well, that's what you get for bringing it to school. And I was like, That is not okay, Mrs. Walsh.

[21:54] David Alpert: No, oh, that's different.

[21:56] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah, different times.

[22:07] David Alpert: Autumn, what was it like the first time you took Lincoln, your son to a Disney park?

[22:12] Autumn Hurlbert: Well, that's a hilarious question because the first time we took him, he slept most of the time because he was barely a year old.

[22:21] David Alpert: Well, did he get to meet Mickey though?

[22:24] Autumn Hurlbert: No, like we really we kept it so no, because we knew he wouldn't, I don't know, at that point too, I think it would have freaked him out. I think it would have, you know, I think like a huge Mickey coming at him, he would be like, What is happening? I need a bottle. Um, he I mean, it's funny, he was a tough baby. He was, you know, he he was just sort of um, I don't know, he was like always on the move, and he's kind of a grumpy baby until he was a little over a year. But walking into Disneyland, we it was um Tim and I and Tim's grandma. Um, and we walked in and he was so chill the entire day. He was just so not even wrapped, just like sort of like, yeah, this place is cool. I like it here. And took a two and a half hour nap.

We put him in his stroller and grandma great, Tim's grandma, sat with him by um Tomorrowland, and Tim and I got to go ride all these rides. And school was still in session, so it was empty. We got to like do we did we packed so much in that two and a half hours, and we were like teenagers just running around grabbing frozen bananas on the way and um dole whip, of course.

[23:40] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, but um the the first real time actually, I think that made an impression on him was for my birthday when I was on tour with Something Rotten. We were in Cincinnati and our next stop was uh Fort Lauderdale, Florida. So we flew out the night after our Sunday matinee and flew right to Orlando and we stayed in the property.

[24:09] David Alpert: Um oh, we stayed in um where do we say like the Hollywood portion of it? I don't know. I don't remember.

[24:15] Autumn Hurlbert: Was it whatever? Can help.

[24:18] David Alpert: Yes, she can.

[24:19] Autumn Hurlbert: Yes, she can. I'm actually next time I go, I'm gonna couldn't I'm gonna hire her as a consult as a as a tour guide. But we just got tickets for Tim's sister was on tour with us to help with Lincoln. And so we just got tickets for Magic Kingdom for the two of them, and then Tim and I got park passes, um, park hopper passes, and did the same thing when he was like ready to nap, Tim and I went to Epcot and we went to Animal Kingdom, we did everything.

[24:47] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, but Lincoln was almost three then, and that was full magic. Like it took us so long to get anywhere because you know, in between every land and attraction, there's someone singing or you know, painting or throwing scarves or whatever. And he, oh my gosh, he danced his way through Disneyland. He literally just like butt bounced his way through Disneyland. And we have this great picture of him on the carousel, just like little Mickey ears on, hands up, just full joy. And both Tim and I cried because we were like, We have a Disney kid.

[25:26] David Alpert: I know. I feel like I remember you sending me photos of him at the parks.

[25:30] Autumn Hurlbert: Yes, I did. You were gonna sent pictures to, besides the grandparents.

[25:36] David Alpert: The grandpires got pictures, obviously. But I have yet to take my nephews there, but I I it's gonna be in intense.

[25:42] Autumn Hurlbert: No, it's gonna be amazing. I mean, they do all the meltdowns and everything. It's a little, you know, it's a lot for the little ones, but um, you know, you gotta build their stamina because also by the time he got you know really old enough to appreciate and actually remember it, you know, was when he was four and he got to do the Jedi training.

[26:03] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my gosh. He I mean, he still talks about it. He like can't remember when he had for breakfast, but he's like, Do you remember when I battled Darth Maul? And we have we have this picture of him of them doing the promenade after their show, like to go. You know, and it's Ray and all the stormtroopers and stuff, and he's full on like just watching everybody, and then um Darth Vader walks by and he's like, hi, hi, hi. I was like, are you like, okay, you're a villain kid. All right. Let's do it.

[26:47] David Alpert: If you were to get a job at Disneyland, what job would you want?

[26:51] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, that's such a hard question. I would do anything. Oh man. I mean, I I'm a performer. I would love to be.

[27:00] David Alpert: So you would like to perform?

[27:02] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that would be. Would you prefer like a parade to a stage show?

[27:07] David Alpert: Oh.

[27:08] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah, actually. I would love to do Oh my gosh, I would love I mean, I just the light parade will forever live as one of my most magical memories ever. It's just the perfect ending to the perfect day. Um, so to like get a spot. You know what, I would be Tinkerbell. I would like, I know they don't do that anymore, but I would like to.

[27:30] David Alpert: You'd be friends, you'd be friends with Tinkerbell.

[27:32] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah. Absolutely.

[27:34] David Alpert: Would you ever want to be friends with the Tinkerbell that flies over the castle?

[27:39] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I'm gonna be friends with all of them. I want I mean, I'll be friends with any and all.

[27:49] David Alpert: Follow up, what job do you think Portia would want?

[27:52] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, Portia would want to be something informative. She'd want to be a tour guide or she'd want to be um, you know, I actually think Portia would love being something like one of the Jedi trainers, you know, like not the Jedi trainer, but the people who get the kids ready to go, you know, and they have their little chant on their way to the Jedi training. Um she'd definitely want to be. Or I see Portia um, I could also see her being one of the caricature painters, you know. She'd be terrible at it because she'd be adding things and like writing poetry all over it and having you know hours-long conversations with the subject, so she'd be so terrible. But oh my gosh. I just I also see her just being hired to flip around Disneyland because her unbridled joy as a person would be so explosive at Disneyland, she would just be flinging that blonde wig. She might challenge one of the other princesses. She'd be like, who's tangled now? Get me around this park.

[29:03] David Alpert: Oh, sure. We'll be right back.

[29:07] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, what's the board?

[29:21] David Alpert: Fast pastum, it's time for everyone's favorite.

[29:29] Autumn Hurlbert: Fast pass answers. I'm gonna put 30 seconds on the clock after I ask the first question.

[29:34] David Alpert: Okay. You're gonna be great, I promise.

[29:36] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my gosh. Okay. All right. You ready?

[29:37] David Alpert: Okay. Autumn Hurlbert. What is your favorite Disney movie?

[29:44] Autumn Hurlbert: Sleeping Beauty.

[29:45] David Alpert: Name any song from The Little Mermaid.

[29:49] Autumn Hurlbert: Well, part of your world.

[29:50] David Alpert: Favorite Disney villain.

[29:53] Autumn Hurlbert: Maleficent.

[29:54] David Alpert: Name any Disney princess.

[29:57] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, well, Belle.

[30:00] David Alpert: Name any Disney dog.

[30:02] Autumn Hurlbert: Pluto.

[30:04] David Alpert: Name a ride in Fantasyland.

[30:07] Autumn Hurlbert: Uh uh. Wait, Star Wars?

[30:11] David Alpert: Oh, bad.

[30:14] Autumn Hurlbert: That last one was bad.

[30:15] David Alpert: We did very well. You know it's like timed, and you're like trying to clarify.

[30:20] Autumn Hurlbert: Because I'm tired. I have ADHD. I'm terrible with anything timed. My brain is.

[30:24] David Alpert: You did very well. Good. You did great. Sleeping Beauty. We got part of your world. We got Maleficent and Belle. We got an abysmally wrong answer for Fantasyland.

[30:37] Autumn Hurlbert: Yes. That was Mark Twain.

[30:39] David Alpert: Mark Twain. Yeah. Peter Pan's Flight. Snow White Scary Adventures.

[30:44] Autumn Hurlbert: No, it was bad.

[30:45] David Alpert: It was a good one. The teacups, small world. It's okay. Everything else was really great. Pluto. Way to go for like the OG.

[30:51] Autumn Hurlbert: Pluto, the OG. Well done. Pluto, come on.

[30:59] David Alpert: Hold on, you're thinking ears. It's trivia time.

[31:01] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh boy.

[31:05] David Alpert: It's trivia time. One of the photos you shared with me is Little Autumn riding the Autopia at Disneyland, which was the attraction that I was assigned to as a cast member when I worked there for the 50th anniversary. One of the original opening day attractions that is still running. For a number of years, there were many different Autopia attractions active simultaneously. The Junior Autopia, the Midget Autopia, the Fantasyland Autopia, and the original Tomorrowland Autopia. But for a brief moment in Disneyland history in 1991, the Autopia had a makeover for a promotional event and had an overlay honoring which early 90s Disney Channel cartoons.

[31:45] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh 91. Oh my gosh. I did not know this. I don't know. But we have to think back to like early 90s Disney cartoons, Disney Channel cartoons. Do you remember any of those?

[31:59] Autumn Hurlbert: Vaguely. I want to say Animaniacs, but that's not even Disney.

[32:00] David Alpert: That's not even Disney.

[32:06] Autumn Hurlbert: I can see the little mouse. Honestly, Animaniacs is a little after this time.

[32:10] David Alpert: It is, actually. Yeah, I think you're right. So I'm gonna give you, I'm not gonna tell you the right answer, but I'm gonna tell you like in that world where like Tailspin or Darkwing Duck or the Gummy Bears.

[32:22] Autumn Hurlbert: So the answer is Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers.

[32:25] David Alpert: Oh, of course. Oh my gosh.

[32:29] Autumn Hurlbert: So if you had gone to the Autopia in 1991, you could have gone on the Rescue Rangers Raceway. It only lasted a year. Once the promotion ended, they were like, okay, we're done. But that existed.

[32:39] David Alpert: That existed. Oh my gosh, how cute. I love Chip and Dale.

[32:43] Autumn Hurlbert: Come on. How did I not think of that?

[32:46] David Alpert: Because it's very random. But I hope we all learned something. Autumn, one of the many things I love about you is your ability to find the positives in any situation. And you quite famously did this on an episode of Legally Blonde, The Search for Elle Woods, when you decided to spin things around and turn a potentially damaging game into a source of joy and inspiration.

[33:18] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah.

[33:18] David Alpert: So for this game, keep it positive, I'm going to give you 10 prompts, and it'll be your job to tell me as many positive things about it. Are you ready?

[33:25] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, I'm ready.

[33:27] David Alpert: Okay, let's do it. Okay, keep it positive number one. Getting stuck on It's a Small World for 40 minutes.

[33:34] Autumn Hurlbert: I mean, you'll never forget those lyrics. And for me, someone who forgets lyrics all the time, that's a dream come true. Also, there it's so layered. There's so many things to look at. And you could concentrate on one little figure and just look at its little happy face and memorize its little pattern. And then I mean, you're gonna learn something about whatever country you're stuck in. So you get a little geography lesson. You can look stuff up, maybe, you know. And these days you have Google. You can be like, okay, I'm in Siberia. Let's start researching. I mean, come on. It smells good in there, you know, and also like you're not on your feet or in the sun. So take the time to cool off.

[34:13] David Alpert: That is correct. Well done. You did turn that around. That was very I was like, I want to get stuck on Small World again.

[34:20] Autumn Hurlbert: Right. Have you ever been stuck on Small World?

[34:21] David Alpert: Oh, yeah.

[34:22] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah. Oh yeah. Yeah. In fact, we were stuck with um Lincoln on Small World, and it was uh he took a big old nap. He was like, he loved it. The boat was rocking and it was joyous. Just enough time to put glue on his feet.

[34:37] David Alpert: Pretty much. Put him on the ride. Put him right there. Okay, keep it positive number two. You arrive at Disneyland and realize you forgot to pack sunscreen.

[34:49] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, oh my goodness. Okay, there's so many options. First of all, buy the goofiest, most wonderful Disney hat you can find because you'll have it forever. Um, so that's solution number one. Solution number two is I'm sure they sell sunscreen for a nominal fee. But you know what? Fork it up because your skin matters, and you don't want to look, you know, 90 at 40. So um, and also there's so many shady spots to explore, and maybe it'll show you a whole new site of Disneyland because you won't be on the main streets, you'll be taking little, you know, little tucked away corners. Go see the tiki tiki room. Come on, sitting there for a little while. Get on that jungle cruise. That most of that line is covered anyway. Ride that a couple times until you know it's past two, and then go for it. Go back out there.

[35:36] David Alpert: That is right. Correct. Well done. Okay, keep it positive number three. This one's actually a character. So I just I'm gonna need you to tell me why this person is so wonderful. I think you'll do well on this one. So keep it positive number three, Maleficent.

[35:53] Autumn Hurlbert: Maleficent is wonderful. She is a strong, powerful woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to get it and isn't gonna let anyone stop her. No man, no inexperienced woman trying to usurp her position without paying her dues. Come on. Um, you know, she's innovative, you know, she's like uh she fully transforms, and for someone who is focused on beauty, she transforms herself into one of the ugliest, scariest hags you've ever seen and fully embraces the character. I love someone who you know really gives in to a gag, and she man, she does it. She is amazing.

[36:39] David Alpert: That's correct. Quite that's so interesting that you said that because both Snow White's queen and Maleficent both transform themselves, and they're both so beautiful beforehand.

[36:55] Autumn Hurlbert: That's true, and yet she transforms herself into I the character's actually called like the hag.

[37:00] David Alpert: The hag, right? Oh wait, so Maleficent, she's a dragon, right?

[37:04] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah, but still, same idea.

[37:06] David Alpert: Yeah. You're very wise.

[37:10] Autumn Hurlbert: I am.

[37:11] David Alpert: Okay, keep it positive number four. Showing up to redeem your fast pass for Space Mountain and not being able to find them.

[37:18] Autumn Hurlbert: Well, first try to charm your way in there. Just charm, charm, charm. And if it doesn't work, then go ride something else. It's really it's Disneyland. You can't lose with anything. And Splash Mountain, go during the fireworks if you've been there before. You'll get to ride twice.

[37:33] David Alpert: That's correct. Thank you. Number five. Number five. This is another character. Jafar.

[37:40] Autumn Hurlbert: Ooh, Jafar. Listen, Jafar is another man who knows what he wants and is not gonna let anything stop him. And you know, he uh he knows that his one major asset is his ego, and he just he leans into that. And um he gosh, even I hate Jafar. This is really hard.

[38:04] David Alpert: I always think it'd be funny if you were like, I have nothing positive to say about Jafar. Next.

[38:08] Autumn Hurlbert: I have nothing. No, Jafar, he loves animals.

[38:11] David Alpert: He does love animals.

[38:13] Autumn Hurlbert: He also transforms himself into a hag.

[38:17] David Alpert: That's right. Remember that old prisoner?

[38:20] Autumn Hurlbert: Yes.

[38:21] David Alpert: Yes. This is the craggy little.

[38:22] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah. You've uncovered something in this game.

[38:27] David Alpert: I have.

[38:28] Autumn Hurlbert: I'm so wise.

[38:30] David Alpert: You're so wise. I am number six for Keep It Positive. Keep it positive. Running to hug Mickey and tripping on one of those curbs on Main Street.

[38:41] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my gosh. Best case scenario. Then any and all characters that are around Mickey all rush to you. You get all the attention. You could probably like get Mickey to sit down with you. He's gonna try to make you laugh because you tripped. Oh, best case scenario. That's like that's gold.

[39:00] David Alpert: Gold.

[39:01] Autumn Hurlbert: That is correct. Thank you. You're really doing well in this game.

[39:04] David Alpert: I'm really good at that. Okay, number seven for keep it positive. You're watching Phantasmic, and right when Mickey is supposed to make his first entrance, he doesn't appear and the show abruptly stops.

[39:16] Autumn Hurlbert: More time for ice cream. Get yourself Main Street. Go get that ice cream. Go now.

[39:22] David Alpert: That's right. It's always when you have more time for ice cream, it's always the right answer. This has actually happened. There was one time I was watching Phantasmic, and sure enough, light cue go. No Mickey, the show stop. It sounded like when like a machine is turned off and everything just malfunction. Then you get to start the show again. That was like for me. I was like, oh, I get to see it start again. And then of course when Mickey did appear, it was thunderous applause.

[39:49] Autumn Hurlbert: See, I would go get ice cream and then come back in time for Mickey.

[39:52] David Alpert: That's right. That's right. I got it all in. Okay, this one I'm really gonna need your help with. Number eight, going on Splash Mountain and getting absolutely soaked.

[40:03] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, the best. It's the why are you going on Splash Mountain if you're not expecting to get soaked because you can you can get a little like just a little wet.

[40:13] Autumn Hurlbert: Ha ha, this is fun, or you can be like the last time I went on it and like drenched.

[40:18] David Alpert: Drenched.

[40:19] Autumn Hurlbert: No, getting soaked on Splash Mountain means that you have carte blanche to find the hottest, sunniest space in Disneyland and just lay out. Because especially if you're in Disneyland in California, honestly, half hour. You're gonna be dry. Florida, different story, but hopefully you packed some we were wearing crocs and we packed some extra stuff.

[40:43] David Alpert: I think I think that's the first time Crocs has been mentioned on this podcast.

[40:47] Autumn Hurlbert: I don't even know in Crocs, but it is true on Splash in California, when you leave the area is pretty open without a lot of shade.

[40:54] David Alpert: That's probably intentional.

[40:55] Autumn Hurlbert: That's true. Well and also uh we did get stuck, not we didn't get splashed in um in Disney World, you don't get splashed like you used to. The the the log is wider, so it's not that deluge of water. But oh the ride stopped and we were bumper to bumper and we got stopped right where the you get sprayed with water from the mountain. And Tim and Lincoln and I were like basically all sitting on Tim trying to like avoid the spray of water. We were getting drenched. Luckily it was first thing during the day, so we had all day to dry.

[41:29] David Alpert: Okay, number nine, this is another character, the queen from Snow White.

[41:29] Autumn Hurlbert: The Queen from Snow White. Okay, she's she's like very similar to my girl Maleficent. She knows what she wants, she'll transform to get it. She you know, it it's so uh I feel for these queens because they just they just want to hold on. They like have so much life to live, and this new kid on the block is like, I'm coming to change everything. And they feel like they have untapped potential yet to serve, you know, their purpose. And they're just um, you know, I I think they're motivated. They're ambitious, strong women. And, you know, with a little healthy coaching, I think they could be fabulous people.

[42:16] David Alpert: That's correct. And final one for keep it positive. And I think everyone listening really needs your help on this one.

[42:23] Autumn Hurlbert: Okay.

[42:23] David Alpert: Having to leave the park at the end of the day.

[42:27] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, it is, it does make your little heart heavy. It can make you very sad. But the best part about leaving the park is that you get to go back. And Disneyland is so magic. It's fairy dust stays on you for so long. You ride that high for longer than you could possibly expect. I mean, the last time that I was at Disney was last February. And if I close my eyes and I sit in the right spot in the sun, it feels like I I'm just there. And you have your little mementos and you have your belly full of ice cream. And honestly, it's just so magical. It really does stay with you. And the anticipation of going your next time is enough to get you through some of the darkest times, I think.

[43:16] David Alpert: That's right. I know you're correct. It's very nice. I always do get sad at the end of the day, but it is nice to know. And I try to pack it in. Just trying to do all the things. Well, Autumn, thank you so much for playing Keep It Positive. We love your optimistic attitude and ability to look at you know dark situations and spin it around. So thank you so much for playing.

[43:38] Autumn Hurlbert: Thanks for letting me do it.

[43:43] David Alpert: Now let's hear from some of you. Huh? Autumn we put on Instagram and your fans have some wonderful Disney questions for you. Here we go. Shannon asks, which is your favorite Disney movie to watch when you need cheering up.

[44:00] Autumn Hurlbert: Ooh, when I need cheering up. Well, now that they're all available, that's a hard question because there's so many that share me up. But um Lilo and Stitch always it gosh, it never fails to make me laugh and cheer me up. I just love it because it's like, I don't know.

[44:16] David Alpert: Tom asks, what is your Disney dream role?

[44:20] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, my Disney dream role. You know, it it used to be Anna and Frozen, but um I I actually think I would love to try Elsa. I would love that.

[44:37] David Alpert: Well, follow up, Broadway Media asks, if you could play any Disney princess, who would you choose?

[44:44] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh technically Elsa's a queen, but Elsa's a queen. But I mean, I would choose the non-princess. Belle is my girl, has always been my girl. I love it. I mean, Belle marries into her royalty.

[44:56] David Alpert: She does.

[44:56] Autumn Hurlbert: But yeah. But yeah, she does. That was when I worked at the parks. They went like when uh I did guest control for the parades and they would give us some fun trivia to play with guests as they waited. And one was can you name the naturally born Disney princesses? Oh it was always fun because people would kind of always forget Princess Tiger Lily.

[45:17] David Alpert: Oh yeah.

[45:17] Autumn Hurlbert: Um, but they'd also be like, Belle, it's like she wasn't born that way. You know.

[45:23] David Alpert: Ken asks, how do you prep for the parks?

[45:27] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh. Um, okay. Prepping for the parks is so amazing now because my husband does it all. I'm I'm really good at packing the backpack, you know, with all the sunscreen, all the snacks, all the, you know, like extra clothes for the kid, you know, all that stuff. Um, but yeah, my my husband does my okay, so I will say this really quickly. So one of the last times we went was to ride the new he w Tim really, really wanted to go so that we could ride the new Star Wars ride, and he did months of preparation. He watched so many videos and like read blogs about how to sign in. So we got there the earliest we have ever gotten to Disney World. I was miserable. I was like, really, really? We're gonna get there at seven?

Okay, okay. But we did it. We rode the little ferry as soon as we got into the park, everybody's going to get it online for the slinky um roller coaster. And we went to like this random corner where there's nothing, literally nothing open, nothing, there's nothing. So that we could get really good internet, and we were like group number fourteen or something for the new ride. And you got to go on. One of the best experiences ever. Ever. I can't wait. Oh, I can't wait. It's unbelievable.

[46:49] David Alpert: Harper wants to know which is your favorite park?

[46:52] Autumn Hurlbert: Meaning like Disneyland, California Adventure.

[46:55] David Alpert: Disneyland.

[46:56] Autumn Hurlbert: It's my it's Are you a land girl?

[46:58] David Alpert: I am.

[46:58] Autumn Hurlbert: You're a land girl.

[46:59] David Alpert: I am a land boy.

[47:00] Autumn Hurlbert: I it's my tried, like it's my first introduction. It holds all of my foremost, you know, my first memories, and there's just I know it so well. I don't I will never need a map. I I know it like the back of my hand. I yeah, Disneyland. It's where the real magic is. It's the original magic.

[47:23] David Alpert: Anna asks, if you could have a conversation with any Disney character, who would you choose?

[47:28] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh my gosh, that's a great question. Merlin.

[47:32] David Alpert: Okay.

[47:33] Autumn Hurlbert: I would ask Merlin all the things. I would be like, let's sit down with some tea. You know everything. Tell me about the entire world. You were like, I know we started this conversation when I was a kid, but let's continue. I know that we started this a hundred years ago. But you got time. You're a wizard.

[47:50] David Alpert: Yeah.

[47:50] Autumn Hurlbert: What I thought you might have answered Piglet, but I almost answered Piglet, but I feel like Pooh has asked all the piglet questions. I don't know what more I can ask him. But Merlin, I gotta really pick his brain.

[48:05] David Alpert: It's time for some tough choices. Let's play Tweedledee or Tweedledum.

[48:15] Autumn Hurlbert: I'm gonna give you two options. Let me know which one you prefer. So the first one, Tweedledee or Tweedledum, the Disneyland Railroad or the Monorail?

[48:22] Autumn Hurlbert: The railroad.

[48:24] David Alpert: Yes, that is correct.

[48:25] Autumn Hurlbert: Thank you. Thank you. No offense. The monorail is also awesome. And I I think at Walt Disney World the monorail is.

[48:32] David Alpert: Say it again.

[48:33] Autumn Hurlbert: It's awesome when you're 60. You need to get from point A to point B. I think at Walt Disney World, the monorail is incredibly useful and wonderful. But in Disneyland, I think the monorail is you're like, okay. It's cool.

[48:49] David Alpert: Tweedledeeer, Tweedledum, Space Mountain, or Big Thunder Mountain.

[48:53] Autumn Hurlbert: Space Mountain.

[48:55] David Alpert: Have you been able to go on some of the overlays?

[48:58] Autumn Hurlbert: I have. Like Ghost Galaxy.

[48:59] David Alpert: Yes.

[49:00] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah. Yes. Incredible. I love it all. I mean, there's something about the, you know, Space Mountain old school, you know, rickety adventure that I love. You know, and you like kind of you always feel like your hands are gonna get cut off. Um, but I love it all. I love it all. Bring it.

[49:20] David Alpert: Tweedly or Tweedledum, early mornings at the park or late nights.

[49:20] Autumn Hurlbert: Late nights, late nights.

[49:26] David Alpert: Really? There's something about that rope drop that's so exciting.

[49:30] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah. You love owls.

[49:32] David Alpert: I do love owls. We haven't even talked about that.

[49:35] Autumn Hurlbert: There's so many great owls.

[49:36] David Alpert: Yes.

[49:37] Autumn Hurlbert: Archimedes. And also from Winnie the Pooh. There's so many wonderful owls in the Disney catalog. Late nights. I mean, there's something definitely fun about the fireworks, the main street electrical parade. Oh my gosh. The lights. It's all about the twinkle lights. Everything sparkles, and it's just, you know, and it's it's it's almost like it's sleepy magic. I don't know what it is about that. It's it's fulfillment. You've been so fulfilled through the whole day. And it's like it's like a good Thanksgiving dinner. You're like, oh, I couldn't possibly stuff another piece of anything into my stomach. Oh, but I can have dessert. I'm ready for dessert, and that's what it is. It's an Elbert family tradition that we always get the Gibson girl ice cream.

[50:18] David Alpert: Yeah.

[50:18] Autumn Hurlbert: At the end of the night.

[50:19] David Alpert: Oh, that's cute. I love that.

[50:21] Autumn Hurlbert: Final tweedly or Tweedledum. A dream is a wish your heart makes or when you wish upon a star.

[50:27] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, a dream is a wish your heart makes.

[50:29] David Alpert: Both great songs.

[50:30] Autumn Hurlbert: Oh, they're both so great. And actually I love space so much, like when you wish upon a star. So and and it's sort of, oh maybe I have to change my I don't know how to choose between that, actually. I mean, there they're sort of totally different m messages. One is like self fulfillment and one is you know reaching beyond your s beyond self to you know make your dreams. Yeah, I don't know. I mean, like being a Disney Parks podcast, when you wish upon a star is a little more tied to yeah it's what you hear under the castle but I don't I don't know I'm with you I I couldn't choose actually I think I might actually choose a dream as a wish yeah a dream is a wish your heart makes when you wish upon a star that's right you can have both you can have it all it's Disneyland world Disney everything Autumn what's the first thing you want to do the next time you go to the parks oh oh oh my gosh there's so many things okay um dole whip has to be the first thing actually sustenance sugary sustenance and then game plan from there because really just being there just being there just walking in and being there is gonna be enough I could actually just walk in and sit in the middle of Main Street until someone you know tries to sweep me up I and I would be content.

[52:10] David Alpert: I would join you there.

[52:12] Autumn Hurlbert: Yeah so you would go in you take a sharp left into adventureland go to the get your dole whip yep and then I would probably get like I mean I I love breakfast food so maybe I'll try and get some breakfast at plaza in and bring it and we can just sit together in front of the castle on one of those benches crying like we did when we saw Toy Story three.
