[1:14] David Alpert: Welcome to E-Ticket to Broadway, where Broadway meets Main Street.

[1:14] David Alpert: Here's your host, my pal, David Alpert.

[1:14] David Alpert: Thanks for listening to this special episode of E-Ticket, a totally unedited recording of the very fun panel we had at this year's BroadwayCon.

[1:14] David Alpert: I was so lucky to be joined by my buddies Andrew Barth Feldman, Lesli Margherita, and Jelani Remy.

[1:14] David Alpert: We played our version of March Madness with a bracket of 32 Disney Parks attractions to battle it out.

[1:14] David Alpert: You can follow along and definitely play along.

[1:14] David Alpert: The blank bracket is on our Instagram page, as well as the completed one that Andrew, Lesli, and Jelani filled out.

[1:14] David Alpert: During this recording, you'll hear me mention a special discount code for merch offered to the very wonderful and enthusiastic fans in attendance.

[1:14] David Alpert: Of course, that code doesn't work anymore, but as a special treat to you listening, if you DM the Instagram account to tell us which Disney Parks attraction Lesli compares her career to, you can get a 10% off code for any order.

[1:14] David Alpert: Make sure you're following @ETicketToBroadway on Instagram and shop the magic at www.eticketpodcast.com.

[1:23] David Alpert: And now here's our BroadwayCon 2022 panel.

[1:43] David Alpert: If you're not a Disney Parks fan, you might not find today the most.

[1:46] David Alpert: I recently said I used the word e-ticket in a sentence to an Imagineer, and they were like, Jesus Christ.

[1:51] David Alpert: Like they don't love.

[1:53] David Alpert: We love e-tickets.

[1:54] David Alpert: So anyway, E-Ticket to Broadway, look at the stories.

[1:56] David Alpert: I just posted a bracket that you might want to screenshot just to follow along today because we're going to be doing some ride rumble, which is kind of like March Madness, but we don't know sports here.

[2:05] David Alpert: I don't know what this word is.

[2:07] David Alpert: Damn Yankees.

[2:08] David Alpert: Shoeless Joe from Hannibal Mole.

[3:59] David Alpert: We recorded, like, for I'll let's say it was the first person I interviewed on the podcast.

[4:04] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[4:05] Jelani Remy: Um, because we started this right in the pandemic, right?

[4:08] Jelani Remy: When Broadway shut down and the Disney Parks shut down, we were all just losing our minds.

[4:13] David Alpert: And we thought, how do we bring joy to people, right?

[4:16] David Alpert: And um, I do remember the first text was actually to these two, my Disney Parks buddies, and I said, like, I might do this, and they're both like, we're in.

[4:23] David Alpert: Um, but yes, Jelani, we recorded that two years ago.

[4:26] Jelani Remy: You had me take out my bunny ear, my Mickey ears that had like the dreads attached to them.

[4:31] Jelani Remy: You know the ones I'm talking about with like the beads at the end.

[4:34] David Alpert: It's on the Instagram.

[4:35] Jelani Remy: It's on Instagram.

[4:36] Jelani Remy: And uh, if you could close your eyes and walk onto any Disney Parks ride right now, what would it be?

[4:42] Jelani Remy: Splash Mountain.

[4:44] David Alpert: Great.

[4:44] David Alpert: Splash Mountain.

[4:45] David Alpert: Yeah, it's hot outside.

[4:47] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[4:47] Jelani Remy: I was just, I was just at Walt Disney World, and I realized that at Walt Disney World you don't get nearly as wet as Disneyland.

[4:53] David Alpert: Is that true?

[4:54] Jelani Remy: Yes, it's true.

[4:55] Jelani Remy: It's completely true.

[4:56] Jelani Remy: Yeah, I'm building my side.

[4:57] Jelani Remy: Yes, it's the log situation.

[4:59] David Alpert: Oh you already feel wet because of the humidity.

[5:03] David Alpert: Wait, can I do a follow up then?

[5:04] David Alpert: Because I just went to the Avatar Land, and that one is pretty amazing too.

[5:08] David Alpert: I could use a good cry in the morning when I want to fight a passage.

[5:12] David Alpert: Um, well, Jelani, thank you so much for being here.

[5:15] David Alpert: I hope you win.

[10:25] Lesli Margherita: Oh my god.

[10:26] Lesli Margherita: Watching the characters rehearse without their costumes.

[10:39] Lesli Margherita: This is not a dog.

[10:40] Lesli Margherita: He's like, he's at a whew.

[10:43] Jelani Remy: But it's also, it's also Pluto, you don't have a fun.

[10:46] Lesli Margherita: I'm not a I'm not a huge Pluto fan, but he doesn't speak and he looks like a dog.

[10:50] Lesli Margherita: Goofy's like a stupid cow thing.

[10:55] Jelani Remy: Whoa.

[12:24] Andrew Barth Feldman: I took AP calculus.

[12:26] Lesli Margherita: 20 years ago.

[12:27] Andrew Barth Feldman: It's like here's the deal. I'm not going to play, but if there's a tiebreaker, I will step in.

[12:34] Lesli Margherita: Um if you choose the wrong thing, I will step in.

[12:37] Jelani Remy: Um Justice for Dopey always.

[12:37] Lesli Margherita: If Dopey is part of the attraction, it must win. You understand that?

[12:41] Andrew Barth Feldman: I understand. Dopey is my favorite.

[12:44] Lesli Margherita: You can't abide by that rule.

[12:45] Andrew Barth Feldman: You must.

[12:46] Jelani Remy: It's like Haunted Mansion or Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

[12:50] Andrew Barth Feldman: I feel like it's gotta be. Here's the thing. If you haven't been on an attraction, that's totally fine. Just look under your seat.

[12:57] Lesli Margherita: Because you're going to Paris.

[13:01] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, yeah. It's like yeah, it's like the Jules Verne Space Mountain.

[13:05] Jelani Remy: Yeah, yeah. That's where that's where it's that's gotta be. I'm gonna win for me. That's on the table.

[13:09] Andrew Barth Feldman: This is gonna be Disneyland or Walt Disney World specific. Who here is Team Land?

[13:15] Lesli Margherita: No, you know what? I'm Team Land.

[13:17] Jelani Remy: Yeah, okay. Great.

[13:19] Andrew Barth Feldman: No way.

[13:20] Lesli Margherita: No way.

[13:21] Andrew Barth Feldman: Who is your team? Who's Team Walt Disney World?

[13:23] Jelani Remy: Fooling yourself.

[13:26] Lesli Margherita: I pick both. Listen, Walt Disney World is growing on me. It is. I was just there last week and last week, been there twice.

[13:32] Andrew Barth Feldman: I think also you have to do Magic Kingdom, because only there's only Magic Kingdom.

[13:36] Lesli Margherita: We don't count California Adventure.

[13:38] Jelani Remy: You really only Magic Kingdom, which is better, I think at land.

[13:41] Andrew Barth Feldman: Oh, sure. For sure.

[13:43] Lesli Margherita: Sure. We have strong thoughts. Okay. So here we go. And again, I'm also gonna ask the audience as well, so feel free to jump in. We like this to be very interactive.

[13:50] Andrew Barth Feldman: So um I don't know seeds or all that stuff because I went to school for theater, but the first one is gonna be Space Mountain versus Flight of Passage.

[14:03] Lesli Margherita: Oh okay, right. So like those are great ones. Trivia, Well, Disney World was the first place to have Space Mountain.

[14:10] Jelani Remy: However, this Space Mountain at Disneyland, way superior.

[14:15] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, people have opinions about the music, and I get that, but I prefer it in a single single person per row.

[14:21] Lesli Margherita: No, but you need music.

[14:23] Jelani Remy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[14:24] Andrew Barth Feldman: So Space Mountain, Flight of Passage. My dad made me a man on that Space Mountain. I was so scared to go on it as a kid, and he's like, you have to. And I was crying. And he's a get in this cart. And I was like, no. And he was like, yes. And he put me in it. And I I literally had tears in my eyes. I was like, this is F and it changed me. So I have to go with Space Mountain.

[14:48] Jelani Remy: Simba. Everything. I was terrified. And he was like, get in this car. Thanks, Dad.

[14:57] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, so uh Space Mountain or Flight of Passage. I know we can't all tell a story for every ride. I will. But I do want to say they because they do like Ghost Mountain or whatever. They do like overlays in Disneyland. They don't have the means for that in Disney World. So for I went for villain's night one year. And a lot of times for Halloween or something, they'll turn all the lights off. And they did like a villain, and it's already dark, but the star is they did like a villain's night. And it was very they I knew they were gonna turn on the lights up, but it was like a villain's overlay, and I was like, what could that possibly be? Is it just gonna be like I'm Scar? Welcome to Space Mountain. And I that's what it was. Like you get you get on the ride and you're like going and there's like kind of scary music and the lights are off, and every now and then you're like, you hear like run Simba.

[15:45] Andrew Barth Feldman: Um I think I'd be lying if I didn't say flight of passage. I'm gonna go with Flight.

[15:48] Lesli Margherita: Okay, so we've got one Flight of Passage, Jelani.

[15:50] Jelani Remy: A Space Mountain, Lesli.

[15:52] Lesli Margherita: Um, listen, I do love Hyperspace Mountain when they do it at Disneyland. However, um the Flight of Passage is like the best ride I've ever been on in my life.

[16:02] Andrew Barth Feldman: Wow. Yeah, I love Space Mountain, but that ride is unbelievable.

[16:07] Jelani Remy: It is. I just went out for the first time like two weeks ago. Who has been on Flight of Passage? Really cool, right? Incredible. But when that back support hits you for the first time, you're like, I'm dying. And it's breathing. It's like breathing. It's breathing, it's a lot. It was great.

[16:22] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay. Next one. The people mover versus it's a small world.

[16:31] Lesli Margherita: Welcome to the world of Tron. Listen, I have such a soft spot.

[16:40] Jelani Remy: Okay. Yeah. So how about rocket rides? Anyone? Did anyone go on rocket rods besides me?

[16:45] Lesli Margherita: You went on rocket rods.

[16:46] Jelani Remy: Oh, I did it. Yeah. I went on rocket rods, yeah.

[16:49] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay. People mover or small world. Leslie?

[16:51] Lesli Margherita: Listen, uh small world.

[16:56] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay.

[16:57] Lesli Margherita: I like to find the broken ones with like the eye. There I am. There was when I was there recently, the the hula dancers. There was three of them, right? One of them was like really slow and like definitely was like, you should have called out today. And then but my friend went on it like next week and she was gone. I mean, you get replaced so quickly. You can't do your show. It's a tough business.

[17:24] Jelani Remy: We got one vote for the case. It's a fickle business being a doll and it's a small world. I say to any small child, I was like, you're so cute, I just want to put glue on your feet and put you on small world. I want to freeze you and make you dance.

[17:39] Andrew Barth Feldman: I'll edit that out. I have to edit that out. David, as you edit this, take the part out about gluing people's shoes to the crowd.

[17:46] Lesli Margherita: Okay, great. I'm also gonna say it's a small world. I don't have a vendetta against the people mover. I think it adds beautifully to the kinetic energy of Tomorrowland, but being on it, I am always sad. I'm gonna say it's a small world.

[18:01] Andrew Barth Feldman: It's a unanimous decision. Yeah, small world. And I listen, yeah. And how like who loves Small World, right? It is sweet, especially like I think it's nostalgic. It's it's it's a classic. It's better in Disneyland.

[18:12] Lesli Margherita: You know what it's gonna be. Will you say that louder into the microphone?

[18:16] Andrew Barth Feldman: I know that it's a small world is better than in Disneyland. I know that you guys do a Christmas thing. We don't do a Christmas thing.

[18:21] Lesli Margherita: Oh, it's so pretty. It's great at Christmas, I know. I love all the representation of Hanukkah.

[18:26] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[18:27] Lesli Margherita: And also Woody's there. That's great.

[18:29] Jelani Remy: That's the thing. I do like the Disney characters. They're good, they're good. They're a good part of it.

[18:33] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay, small world. Here's the next one.

[18:38] Lesli Margherita: No, I just looked up.

[18:39] Andrew Barth Feldman: Don't look at it!

[18:40] Lesli Margherita: Don't look!

[18:42] Andrew Barth Feldman: These are this is like the crazy round. Mr. Toad's Wild Ride or Journey into Imagination with Figment.

[18:48] Lesli Margherita: Which I went on the first I went on that for the first time last week. I texted Andrew and I was like, what is happening? You're making me like let go of all of my morals and values right now.

[19:04] Andrew Barth Feldman: Mr. Toad's Wild Ride or Journey into Imagination with Figment. Has anyone so what do we think? Who wants Mr. Toad to win?

[19:11] Lesli Margherita: Okay, who wants who wants Figment to win?

[19:16] Jelani Remy: Oh, who didn't vote? I thought it've got either. I have to go to the code.

[19:20] Andrew Barth Feldman: Well, what sounds better. We see you, it's fine. What sounds better to you? A toad. It's like Mr. Toad's Wild Ride is classic, terrifying. You go to hell.

[19:30] Jelani Remy: Drew Galen, Drew Galen loves Mr. Toad. Talks about a lot. Journey into Imagination with Figment. Terrifying. You feel like you're going to hell at one point. Like I don't When the when it explodes. Yes. I screamed. When uh yeah, Eric is like, as you can see. Imagination. It really is the and Figment's like, you said it, Doc. Imagination is a blast. It's the loudest sound you've literally ever heard in your life.

[20:01] Andrew Barth Feldman: I just want to see Andrew, you play Figment in the live movie. I literally have this pitch written out for a Figment TV show. I have a one-page Figment TV show, and somebody pitched me recently that I played both Dreamfinder and Voice Figment.

[20:16] Jelani Remy: Genius.

[20:17] Andrew Barth Feldman: I don't want you to voice Figment. I want you like CGI Figment.

[20:20] Lesli Margherita: No, just a party city costume.

[20:24] Jelani Remy: Oh gosh. Okay.

[20:27] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah. Okay. Okay. Jelani.

[20:29] Jelani Remy: Yes.

[20:29] Andrew Barth Feldman: Mr. Toad or Journey into Imagination.

[20:31] Jelani Remy: I picked Mr. Toad.

[20:32] Andrew Barth Feldman: Nice. Leslie?

[20:34] Lesli Margherita: Mr. Toad.

[20:35] Andrew Barth Feldman: Good answer.

[20:37] Jelani Remy: Uh here's the thing. Because you're saying Journey into Imagination with Figment, which is a very different ride from Journey into Imagination, the original ride that was there in the 80s. If we were talking about that, that would win. Because we're talking about Eric Idle Moon Journey into Imagination with Figment, I'm gonna say Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

[20:58] Andrew Barth Feldman: No, but I've seen it on YouTube.

[21:01] Lesli Margherita: Okay, here's the next one. We're gonna do some classics. Dumbo versus the Mad Tea Party.

[21:07] Andrew Barth Feldman: Like teacups. I mean.

[21:09] Lesli Margherita: Okay, we want the ready. Andrew?

[21:10] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, mad tea party.

[21:12] Lesli Margherita: Yeah.

[21:13] Andrew Barth Feldman: Teacups.

[21:14] Lesli Margherita: Teacups.

[21:17] Jelani Remy: Can anyone in the room not go on teacups anymore? Because of motion sickness.

[21:20] Lesli Margherita: It's a real thing.

[21:21] Jelani Remy: I love it. Even if you don't spin it, it depends on how fast you're holding.

[21:23] Lesli Margherita: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. It's great. There are some that are. My favorite is watching the like the evolution of people that are like.

[21:36] Andrew Barth Feldman: Ooh.

[21:40] Lesli Margherita: It's the best.

[21:43] Andrew Barth Feldman: Oh goodness. I love everything about what's happening now.

[21:46] Lesli Margherita: Okay. Um okay, that's the first bracket question one. So these are the quarterfinals. Eventually we'll get back to Flight of Passage, Small World, Mr. Toad, and Teacups. Let's move to our next bracket. I don't know. What's it called? Like a seed? Eli, what do you think? Bracket. Division? Sports.

[22:04] Andrew Barth Feldman: Sports. Sports.

[22:06] Lesli Margherita: Okay. We're doing sports right now. Okay, here we go. Everyone, I need you to send lovely thoughts to Andrew right now. Even though I think I know what you're gonna choose. The first one is Haunted Mansion versus Star Tours.

[22:18] Andrew Barth Feldman: I don't think it's a competition for you. You're gonna choose Haunted Mansion. I'm just gonna get out of the way. I'm gonna say Haunted Mansion, and then I don't know how to explain myself.

[22:24] Lesli Margherita: Okay.

[22:25] Andrew Barth Feldman: Leslie?

[22:26] Lesli Margherita: Um shock. Wait, pause. Hold for question. Sorry. I was gonna say I know I'd say why we're gonna be world uh there. Hurry up!

[22:37] Andrew Barth Feldman: No. Look under your check. Look under your turn.

[22:41] Lesli Margherita: Alright. Alright. Let's say the question.

[22:49] Andrew Barth Feldman: Oh gosh. In any case, I'm it doesn't change my answer one yeah. Let's say the new one. But the original one. Shockingly, for me, it's Haunted Mansion. Um, as much as I'm a Star Wars freak. Haunted Mansion, I when I was a kid, I got stuck in it in the graveyard thing. And my sister says that I was like, it's fine. It's all fake. It's all fake. So every time I go on it, it just reminds me of like my childhood. Also, I always get told that I look like hurry back. Like the original one. But I also got the red-headed lady who's not in pirates anymore. She is.

[23:21] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, but it's different. Anyway, haunted mansion. Listen, as a kid, when they were like, We wants the redhead, I was like, yes, you do.

[23:28] Jelani Remy: Also Haunted Mansion.

[23:30] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah. It's going all the way. It's going all the way today.

[23:34] Lesli Margherita: Okay. Next up, we got some swashbuckling adventures with Peter Pan's flight versus Pirates of the Caribbean.

[23:41] Andrew Barth Feldman: Oh my gosh, why are you so mad? These are easier than the other.

[23:44] Lesli Margherita: Oh, really?

[23:46] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, yeah, yeah. Great. This bracket's easy.

[23:52] Lesli Margherita: Peter Pan's flight.

[23:53] Andrew Barth Feldman: I know it's Peter Pan's.

[23:55] Lesli Margherita: No. Wait. No, you can, you can, you can. But I'm I want to know more. Can I have a second?

[24:01] Lesli Margherita: Yes.

[24:01] Andrew Barth Feldman: Leslie.

[24:03] Lesli Margherita: Pirates.

[24:04] Andrew Barth Feldman: Pirates.

[24:05] Lesli Margherita: I just say is it Caribbean or Caribbean for you both?

[24:09] Andrew Barth Feldman: Caribbean.

[24:10] Lesli Margherita: Caribbean.

[24:11] Andrew Barth Feldman: Caribbean, yeah.

[24:11] Lesli Margherita: Caribbean Quinn. By the way, Lesli, the next time we go to Disneyland together, when we go to Disneyland together, which doesn't happen.

[24:18] Jelani Remy: Can I come?

[24:19] Lesli Margherita: Yes, of course.

[24:19] Andrew Barth Feldman: Can Andrew come?

[24:20] Lesli Margherita: I don't want to come.

[24:21] Andrew Barth Feldman: I want to come.

[24:22] Lesli Margherita: Um they're like, we do not like pirates.

[24:26] Jelani Remy: Um there's a hidden goofy in the rocks.

[24:30] Lesli Margherita: Has anyone seen the hidden Goofy in the rocks?

[24:32] Jelani Remy: Leslie did not.

[24:33] David Alpert: Okay.

[24:33] Lesli Margherita: The rocks where?

[24:35] Jelani Remy: When you're leaving like the um the gold on the left.

[24:38] Lesli Margherita: Yeah.

[24:40] David Alpert: Does it change your vote?

[24:41] Lesli Margherita: Yeah.

[24:41] Jelani Remy: You know what though? It's being refurbed. It just opened again in Disneyland.

[24:45] Lesli Margherita: And maybe hopefully they took my suggestion of no Goofy.

[24:50] David Alpert: Um, so we've got two votes for Pirates.

[24:52] Jelani Remy: Uh Pirates.

[24:56] David Alpert: Right. Okay. We're gonna get a little patriotic, even though why? Um, Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln versus the Hall of Presidents.

[25:06] Lesli Margherita: Come on. Hall of Presidents.

[25:09] Jelani Remy: Ooh.

[25:09] Lesli Margherita: It is Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln, and you also get to see the funniest animatronic of all time, which is Donald Trump.

[25:17] Jelani Remy: It's hilarious.

[25:19] Lesli Margherita: Boom.

[25:20] Jelani Remy: Yeah, no, obviously, fuck that guy, but like that's why it's funny.

[25:26] Lesli Margherita: Don't sta- it's not an a pop- I'm not like saying anything bold. He's a piece of shit, obviously.

[25:31] Jelani Remy: I recently had a long conversation with an Imagineer who was there, like one of the people on the team responsible for bringing him in.

[25:39] Lesli Margherita: Oh my god.

[25:40] Jelani Remy: And uh it is true that they uh maybe maybe cut this part out, but it's true that they slimmed him down 50 pounds.

[25:48] Lesli Margherita: I'm not cutting that out.

[25:50] Jelani Remy: I would hope they do that to me if I'm ever animatronic.

[25:54] Lesli Margherita: Oh god.

[25:55] Jelani Remy: Okay, good. So uh two votes for Hall of Presidents, Lesli?

[25:58] Lesli Margherita: Um, I I'm going with Hall of Presidents, even though Mr. Lincoln is like nostalgic. He's there, he's there. Yeah, I'm going with Hall of Presidents.

[26:06] David Alpert: Okay, I'm gonna go to the case. I tuned Hall of Presidents. I also want to go back and vote for Peter Panage.

[26:12] Lesli Margherita: Thank you. We love that.

[26:13] Jelani Remy: We love that.

[26:14] Lesli Margherita: That was on your conscience, and I've got to do that.

[26:15] Jelani Remy: It really was, and I feel so much better now for speaking my truth.

[26:19] David Alpert: Good. I appreciate that. You know, I've never seen the Hall of Presidents.

[26:22] Lesli Margherita: And I almost did, but yeah.

[26:27] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[26:29] Lesli Margherita: Hillary wig.

[26:30] Jelani Remy: It's not true.

[26:34] Lesli Margherita: It's not true.

[26:35] Jelani Remy: So what what is true? And this is because I asked this question. I asked this question to the Imagineer. I said, is it true that you use like Hillary's face? And she said, no, but what is true is that when there are two frontrunners, they make uh models of them both.

[26:48] Lesli Margherita: So it just so happens that Donald Trump's face looks a lot like hilariously like Hillary Clinton's.

[26:55] Jelani Remy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[26:57] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, yeah, yeah. The Hall of Second.

[26:59] Jelani Remy: That's in Journey into Imagination with Figment. It's like I can imagine a better place.

[27:06] David Alpert: Okay, good. Last one for this division. Tower of Terror at Walt Disney World versus Big Thunder.

[27:13] Lesli Margherita: Oh, it's Tower of Terror.

[27:16] Jelani Remy: What is that?

[27:17] David Alpert: Jelani?

[27:18] Jelani Remy: Tower of Terror.

[27:19] Lesli Margherita: Tower of Terror.

[27:20] Jelani Remy: Tower of Terror.

[27:21] Lesli Margherita: Uh Thunder Mountain.

[27:22] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[27:22] Lesli Margherita: Wow. Because the Tower of Terror is the one ride I can't do anymore.

[27:26] Jelani Remy: Really?

[27:26] Lesli Margherita: There was a moment when I was like, I'm screaming and it's not a fun scream.

[27:29] Jelani Remy: I can't remember. I have to say though, I love The Guardians, the new version of Disneyland.

[27:35] David Alpert: Hold that thought. That might be coming up in another division.

[27:38] Lesli Margherita: Okay, so Tower of Terror run one. Wow early. Okay, uh, so that means advancing is Haunted Mansion, Pirates, Hall of Presidents, and Tower of Terror.

[27:47] David Alpert: Okay, two more divisions. Okay. Radiator Springs Racers versus Rock and Roller Coaster.

[27:51] Lesli Margherita: Ooh.

[27:51] Jelani Remy: Ooh.

[27:51] Lesli Margherita: Radiator Springs Racers.

[28:02] Jelani Remy: For me, it's the Rock and Roller Coaster.

[28:04] Lesli Margherita: Wow. Thank you. Who feels me? Who feels me?

[28:06] Audience: Yes.

[28:08] Lesli Margherita: Yes. Um Radiator Springs because the Well, the well, Aerosmith is so awkward in the opening where they're like, yeah, we're in the recording studio.

[28:18] Jelani Remy: And it not that they're like country artists. They sound I made them sound that way. But it yeah, it's just awkward.

[28:23] Lesli Margherita: No.

[28:24] Jelani Remy: Okay. I know every word of that pre-show.

[28:26] Lesli Margherita: Prove it.

[28:26] Jelani Remy: Yeah, prove it.

[28:27] Lesli Margherita: Here's the other thing I hate besides Goofy is kids like you, who then I'm like, I know you've been here a million times. I don't want to hear you do the speech. But actually I do. Sorry, I'm gonna do it. I wanna not right now, but like when you I that's always the moment like when I go to do rock and roller coaster, that's the moment when I'm with my friends, I go, sorry. Like this is I've been pretty reserved relatively this whole trip because I didn't want to ruin your time here. This is for me.

[28:54] Jelani Remy: Now, if I may be so bold, I think we want some we were like wait a minute, I love that idea. How about some backstage passes?

[29:00] Lesli Margherita: Sorry.

[29:01] Jelani Remy: Was that it?

[29:02] Lesli Margherita: Yeah.

[29:02] Jelani Remy: Yeah, somebody yelled it.

[29:06] Lesli Margherita: What were you saying to the box?

[29:07] Jelani Remy: I just wanted 16 bars of it.

[29:09] Lesli Margherita: Oh, uh Hey Chris, can you grab my black Les Paul?

[29:14] Jelani Remy: How about that?

[29:15] Lesli Margherita: No.

[29:16] Jelani Remy: Okay, let's move on.

[29:18] Lesli Margherita: Silence! Dead Silence in the room.

[29:21] David Alpert: Okay, good. The next one is the Jungle Cruise versus the Kilimanjaro Safari.

[29:27] Lesli Margherita: Oh.

[29:28] Jelani Remy: I know, right? One first time I went in the safari, I was like, so these are real? Like because I was like, I'm at Disney World.

[29:36] Lesli Margherita: Okay. Also, if you've been to Disney World and have not done the like two and a half hour safari where you get up at six in the morning, and it costs extra, but it is so worth it.

[29:46] Jelani Remy: And I forgot what it's called, but it's it's whatever. But I'm I actually um I'm I'm gonna say the Kilimanjaro Safari just because they are real and super cool.

[29:57] Lesli Margherita: And I I just wanted like last week, and they really are pushing like conservation and helping the environment, which I really appreciate.

[30:03] Jelani Remy: That's what that longer one really is so worth it.

[30:05] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, longer safari is all about that.

[30:09] Andrew Barth Feldman: I uh uh I recently went to Disney World with Broadway rising star Will Rowland, and he had never been. He had never been, he'd been to a Disney park when he's like really little, he didn't remember. We got off Jungle Cruise and he goes, I didn't know it was just a Borscht Belt routine.

[30:25] Lesli Margherita: It's a really good Will impression.

[30:26] Andrew Barth Feldman: I have the best Will Rowland impression of anyone besides Will Roland.

[30:30] Jelani Remy: Wow.

[30:31] Andrew Barth Feldman: Um I'm going with the Safari though as well.

[30:33] Jelani Remy: Okay, Jelani.

[30:34] Jelani Remy: You already know it's a safari due to my lineage of animals. It's the thing.

[30:37] Lesli Margherita: That's it.

[30:38] David Alpert: That's it. David, can I ask? Was that the moment that you said, okay, maybe Disney World is actually pretty good? Because that tends to be the moment for Disneyland people.

[30:44] Andrew Barth Feldman: It was Guardians. It was Guardians. It was the new Guardians.

[30:46] Lesli Margherita: Wow.

[30:47] Andrew Barth Feldman: Um Jungle Cruise, especially in Disneyland, they just fixed it.

[30:50] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, and it's really wonderful.

[30:52] Andrew Barth Feldman: Well, it's fun that it's tied into uh the Society of Explorers and Adventures. It's really exciting for me.

[30:56] Lesli Margherita: Oh yeah. It needed a redo.

[30:59] David Alpert: This pod panel just got really nerdy.

[31:00] Lesli Margherita: This just got listen, it was good.

[31:02] David Alpert: Okay, uh, so the Safari won.

[31:07] Lesli Margherita: Yeah.

[31:07] Jelani Remy: Against my wishes.

[31:08] David Alpert: Good work, everybody. Ready? Here we go. Guardians Cosmic Rewind versus Mission Breakout in Disneyland Tower of Terror.

[31:10] Lesli Margherita: Cosmic Rewind.

[31:15] Andrew Barth Feldman: Here's the deal. Who has been on the new Guardians ride in Florida? It is one of the best things I've ever been on.

[31:20] Lesli Margherita: Wait, is it the same as it? As soon as they got off the world.

[31:23] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, people get sick on it.

[31:25] Lesli Margherita: Wait, is this the same as the what they've done?

[31:27] Andrew Barth Feldman: Oh, the first one. No, so this is like a new roller coaster, I guess.

[31:31] Lesli Margherita: It's so it is so good.

[31:32] Andrew Barth Feldman: Good.

[31:33] Lesli Margherita: Wow, Lesli has recused herself. So there's like six songs that you get to hear.

[31:55] Lesli Margherita: I got September.

[31:57] Andrew Barth Feldman: I promise it's a different Inferno.

[32:00] Lesli Margherita: Oh, because you get different songs.

[32:01] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, that's the same thing.

[32:03] Lesli Margherita: Uh Cosmic Rewind. Bye.

[32:21] Lesli Margherita: Yeah.

[32:23] Andrew Barth Feldman: People get sick. People get sick on it.

[32:24] Lesli Margherita: The only thing that I see people get sick on is do they still have Goofy Sky School?

[32:31] Jelani Remy: I just get sick immediately.

[32:32] Lesli Margherita: It's not the ride, you just see his face in the line, like I'm gonna take you on Goofy Sky School.

[32:37] Jelani Remy: No, that um what's the Gary Sinise um where you're on mission to mission space?

[32:43] Lesli Margherita: Oh he's not in it anymore either.

[32:45] Andrew Barth Feldman: He's not in it. So I will say in the so wait, I know this is like so niche because it's so new, but like in the pre-show, there's Glenn Close, and I she's mad and memorable. That's all I could think about.

[32:53] Lesli Margherita: Wow.

[32:55] Andrew Barth Feldman: Terry Cruz gives the worst performance I've ever seen. And it makes me so happy.

[33:01] Lesli Margherita: I feel like I'm in line for dinosaur.

[33:51] Audience: Hold for applause.

[33:54] Lesli Margherita: And Alice in Wonderland.

[33:56] Jelani Remy: Ooh.

[33:57] Lesli Margherita: Have you been on the updated Snow White ride?

[33:58] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah.

[33:59] Lesli Margherita: Uh I've watched a video of it, I haven't been on it.

[34:01] Andrew Barth Feldman: Well, it's amazing.

[34:03] Lesli Margherita: Is it?

[34:04] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yes. I literally, there is a Disney Coast to Coast podcast, and they brought me on uh to review that ride. And it was an hour of me talking about how much I love Dopey. Like, truly.

[34:13] Lesli Margherita: Tell them um whenever you stage me, what character and you sent me a picture of it.

[34:19] Andrew Barth Feldman: Sometimes I like will stage at home. In addition to podcasting, I'm actually a director, and believe it or not. And um, you know, when you're like pre-staging, sometimes you use coins or just things. But one time I used my Funko dolls, and Lesli was the evil hag.

[34:34] Lesli Margherita: So now he always sends me pictures of the evil hag.

[34:37] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah. I loved you at the end of my.

[34:39] Lesli Margherita: I can't believe you guys keep calling her evil hag.

[34:41] Andrew Barth Feldman: That's what it is.

[34:42] Lesli Margherita: What would you say? The witch transformed She's just the evil queen in I don't know, it's like spooky.

[34:48] Jelani Remy: Evil Hag is right.

[34:49] Lesli Margherita: I just like that. That's her title. Sometimes I like to look at the evil hag, you know?

[34:53] Jelani Remy: It's like I have evil queen earrings.

[34:55] Lesli Margherita: Oh yes, you do. That's the end of the thing. You'd be spectacular.

[34:58] Andrew Barth Feldman: At the end of Mind Train when you're like waiting to go back on the station. I texted Lesli, I was like, I love your work.

[35:06] Lesli Margherita: That one is aggressive, though.

[35:08] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah. Like the original, like if you actually go back, okay, here it comes. If you actually go back in the history of the Snow White ride, it used to be terrifying.

[35:15] Lesli Margherita: And it got a slightly less terrifying.

[35:18] Andrew Barth Feldman: And the new one, like it's still a little scary at times, but they anyway, it's great.

[35:21] Lesli Margherita: Wait, the new one versus what?

[35:23] Andrew Barth Feldman: Versus Alice in Wonderland.

[35:24] Lesli Margherita: Disneyland only. You go outside, it's a big deal.

[35:27] Jelani Remy: Leslie?

[35:28] Lesli Margherita: You know, Alice in Wonderland never did it for me because it's so. I mean, I get that it's supposed to be like, ooh, sir, I can barely, but it just never did it for me.

[35:36] Andrew Barth Feldman: No, I'm gonna say Snow White.

[35:38] Lesli Margherita: Yes, you are, Andrew.

[35:40] Andrew Barth Feldman: I think Alice in Wonderland might be my like favorite existing classic dark ride, actually.

[35:44] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, I don't know why, but it does do it for me.

[35:46] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay.

[35:47] Lesli Margherita: And I like it a lot. So I'm gonna say Alice in Wonderland.

[35:49] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay, I'm going to say Snow White.

[35:52] Lesli Margherita: Thank you.

[35:52] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay. This is the first one I haven't been on the side. Without Snow White and Some Dwarfs, we wouldn't be here today.

[35:59] Lesli Margherita: True girl.

[36:01] David Alpert: I feel very strongly. Okay. Don't forget to go to our shop. Use code Pro Raycon22.

[36:07] Lesli Margherita: Okay. Um buy your evil hag doll signed by Lesli Margherita. The Figment doll signed by Andrew Barth Feldman. And the Simba doll, signed by Jelani Remy.

[36:16] Jelani Remy: That's a great idea.

[36:17] Lesli Margherita: That's just a really good idea.

[36:20] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, great marketing.

[36:21] Lesli Margherita: I'll take both dollars. And the Dopey one, signed by Adina Menzel.

[36:30] Jelani Remy: Oh, silly.

[36:32] David Alpert: We'll be right back.

[36:34] Lesli Margherita: Oh, what's the bad commercial?

[36:58] David Alpert: Okay, here we go. Rise of the Resistance versus Smugglers Run.

[37:03] Audience: Come on.

[37:03] Audience: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[37:05] Andrew Barth Feldman: Rise.

[37:06] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, I've guessed.

[37:08] Jelani Remy: No, are you kidding me?

[37:09] Lesli Margherita: Yes. Lesli Margherita has been a little bit more Smugglers Run because I'm such an old school Star Wars fan. Rise is the new one, which I love as well, but I was so underwhelmed by Rise.

[37:19] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah.

[37:23] Lesli Margherita: I had to, I really was. I had notes. We talked about this once. But I also like, I hate Goofy.

[37:29] Jelani Remy: Oh, Carlo ran like marble mouth.

[37:33] David Alpert: Lesli, what square like about Disney? Like maybe something you like.

[37:35] Lesli Margherita: Listen, you know, please, and I'm the biggest Star Wars nerd, but Smugglers Run for me.

[37:43] Andrew Barth Feldman: We love it.

[37:44] Lesli Margherita: As the pilot, not so much the gunner.

[37:46] Jelani Remy: Yeah, yeah, yeah.

[37:47] Lesli Margherita: Yeah. Pilot.

[37:48] Andrew Barth Feldman: The engineer.

[37:49] Lesli Margherita: Or the engineer.

[37:49] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[37:51] Lesli Margherita: That is like, every time I die, I've had two-year-old pilots.

[37:55] Andrew Barth Feldman: No.

[37:56] Lesli Margherita: I think it's only fun if you're not the pilot.

[37:58] Jelani Remy: It's only fun if the pilots have no idea what they're doing, and you're like crashing into everything and you're like, you know, that's way more fun.

[38:05] Lesli Margherita: The first time I was a pilot, I missed the entire pre-show. I did single rider and like I didn't know that it was actually real. So I was like, this is fun. And I was crashing. I was like, uh oh.

[38:15] Andrew Barth Feldman: I want to go out with people I know and make Chewy mode.

[38:18] Jelani Remy: Oh yeah, I heard about Chewy mode.

[38:20] Lesli Margherita: People ask if probably no. I don't know about that.

[38:22] Jelani Remy: It's funny. Basically, if you press the right buttons, then you don't get instructions from Hondo, you get instructions from Chewbacca.

[38:27] Lesli Margherita: Oh, that's cool.

[38:27] Andrew Barth Feldman: So the whole ride is like this is a great moment.

[38:31] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[38:33] Lesli Margherita: Um, as the great Patti LuPone once said, everybody rise.

[38:37] David Alpert: Okay, okay. Bring it, bring it back to Broadway.

[38:42] Lesli Margherita: Yes, E-Ticket to Broadway. I will say, like, Rise was great. As someone that doesn't know Star Wars, I felt like there were some story beats that could have been clearer for me.

[38:49] Andrew Barth Feldman: Sure.

[38:50] Lesli Margherita: And I was confused in the blaster room why there wasn't wind. I brought this up to you once. Like if that, you know what I'm talking about?

[38:58] Andrew Barth Feldman: Come on.

[38:59] Lesli Margherita: I know, but when like the, what's his name? The non-equity Darth Vader. What's his name?

[39:03] Andrew Barth Feldman: Kylo Ren.

[39:04] Lesli Margherita: He's Adam Driver, by the way. It's literally acclaimed actor, Adam Driver.

[39:08] Jelani Remy: When no, no, no, like when they shoot and like he like f, which is an amazing effect. I was like, so when you go outside, there's wind, but in the blast room, there's not wind.

[39:17] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, that's fair.

[39:18] Lesli Margherita: That is fine.

[39:18] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[39:20] Lesli Margherita: These are things I think about.

[39:21] Lesli Margherita: Um, it's fun. I love the fan of my own.

[39:22] Andrew Barth Feldman: That's a good point.

[39:27] Jelani Remy: Well, I wonder because it was like a smart working. I wonder if that's a COVID.

[39:31] Lesli Margherita: A COVID deed.

[39:34] Andrew Barth Feldman: I love your fans, Lesli. I love your fans.

[39:37] David Alpert: Okay. Here's the next one. Indiana Jones Adventure versus Expedition Everest.

[39:44] Audience: The whole room just got a chill.

[39:47] Lesli Margherita: There is a correct answer here too.

[39:50] Andrew Barth Feldman: I think.

[39:52] Lesli Margherita: I have to go.

[39:53] Andrew Barth Feldman: Go.

[39:54] Lesli Margherita: Mine's easy.

[39:54] Lesli Margherita: Okay. I love Indiana Jones. Love, love, love. Although, even though the stuff in the queue doesn't work anymore. Expedition Everest is, I think, my favorite ride of all.

[40:06] Jelani Remy: Really?

[40:08] Lesli Margherita: Even more than the Avatar one.

[40:12] Andrew Barth Feldman: I think so.

[40:12] Lesli Margherita: Yeah. I'm going with Expedition Everest. I will never post this, but I'm going to show my friends. This was me on Everest last week.

[40:18] Jelani Remy: Literally.

[40:18] Lesli Margherita: Am I your friend?

[40:19] Andrew Barth Feldman: Screaming.

[40:20] Lesli Margherita: Yes, Sean, you're my friend.

[40:23] Jelani Remy: I don't know why. Like, I was okay with that.

[40:24] Andrew Barth Feldman: What?

[40:27] Lesli Margherita: I mean, you can kinda, I can show. It's just like I'm assuming I'm a poser. I'm a poser on all of the rides, so it's and it's always the same like depending on the trip.

[40:30] Jelani Remy: But do you pose or do you just let it?

[40:28] Lesli Margherita: I pose.

[40:28] Andrew Barth Feldman: Not pose.

[40:28] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, what's funny, you gotta pose. Gotta make a funny face. Yeah, Space Mountain, I'm great. Especially if I'm in, if like my friends are in front of me on Space Mountain, I will always like go over them.

[40:28] Jelani Remy: The less.

[40:28] Lesli Margherita: I'm always the person on Space Mountain be like, it's to the right when you come back. It's on the right. I might, I will tap you.

[40:28] Andrew Barth Feldman: No, that's what I do.

[40:28] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, it's I'm really fun.

[41:05] Jelani Remy: I do, yeah, we do that. You gotta be ready.

[41:05] David Alpert: Okay, so we got one vote for Everest. We have somebody in the back with a question.

[41:05] Audience: Oh, I'm so sorry.

[41:05] Audience: Everest without this for yet when you're oh has anyone here been on the original Everest from like the first couple months of operation when the Yeti moved?

[41:04] Audience: No, maybe no definitely not.

[41:06] Lesli Margherita: I was four actually now that I'm thinking about it. I was 84 and still having um Andrew did you answer uh Jelani do you have one?

[41:05] Jelani Remy: I think Everest.

[41:05] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay, I then I, my choice doesn't really matter and I, the purist in me like the dark ride like artist in me like really wants to say Indiana Jones but I think I, I'm gonna say Everest for Joe Rohde. Indiana Jones is so good.

[41:54] Lesli Margherita: The people and I don't like to, I never give spoilers on the podcast but like the way they do the rolling ball is like the most incredible effect. Like if you actually figure out how they do it, it's amazing.

[42:05] Andrew Barth Feldman: Um I think I like to look to the back.

[42:16] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[42:17] Lesli Margherita: Oh, I have seen that.

[42:17] Jelani Remy: Yeah, and I'm like, okay, I think I'm gonna go right back.

[42:19] Lesli Margherita: Oh, that's cool.

[42:20] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, I think it's not just the gold rolling.

[42:23] Lesli Margherita: Oh no.

[42:24] Jelani Remy: Oh no.

[42:25] Lesli Margherita: Okay, we're almost there. Ready? The next one is Toontown Spinaround.

[42:37] Lesli Margherita: I'm just kidding, it's not. Leslie's career peaked when Guys at 17.

[42:43] Lesli Margherita: I'm aging myself.

[42:46] Lesli Margherita: 16, 17, yeah. I did the television special for Disneyland for Toontown Spinaround. I was one of the dancers and got to go on it before I opened and I thought I was the shiz.

[42:56] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[42:59] Lesli Margherita: You're gonna have a Toontown spin or that's great.

[43:07] Andrew Barth Feldman: This is down kind of you rise.

[43:12] Lesli Margherita: It's basically tower.

[43:13] Jelani Remy: Yeah, yeah.

[43:15] Lesli Margherita: But then it's like a little bit up, it's like, oh and then Lesli, it's like, oh, a nymph Tony Award?

[43:28] David Alpert: Okay, Slinky Dog Dash versus Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

[43:33] Audience: We got a lot of Slinky Dogs.

[43:35] Lesli Margherita: Really?

[43:35] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[43:36] Lesli Margherita: Here's the thing. I laughed so Slinky Dog, first time, amazing. And when they in the queue were like, this is the wildest ride in Andy's backyard. I was like, that is a good thing.

[43:44] Andrew Barth Feldman: There's a lot of fun Easter eggs on that ride, actually.

[43:48] Lesli Margherita: So uh Slinky Dog Dash versus the Dopey ride in Disney World.

[43:54] Jelani Remy: Evil Hag for the win.

[43:55] Lesli Margherita: Right.

[43:56] Jelani Remy: I'm also gonna say Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

[44:03] Lesli Margherita: I'm going with the Slinky Dog.

[44:05] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay.

[44:06] Lesli Margherita: I respect, I love Slinky Dog.

[44:07] Jelani Remy: Yeah, yeah.

[44:08] Lesli Margherita: Really? Because you didn't vote for it.

[44:12] Jelani Remy: I can't tilt side to side on Slinky Dog Dash.

[44:16] Lesli Margherita: I can tilt side to side on Seven Dwarfs Mine Train.

[44:19] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay.

[44:19] Jelani Remy: Okay, heard.

[44:25] Lesli Margherita: Sorry, sorry, sorry.

[44:26] Andrew Barth Feldman: No, but listen, like last week we did it with a lightning lane and we had another lightning lane and fireworks were about to start. So we went on it again with fireworks.

[44:32] Lesli Margherita: Amazing.

[44:33] Andrew Barth Feldman: Going on any like Magic Kingdom outdoor roller coaster while fireworks are happening is bliss.

[44:39] Jelani Remy: Big Thunder in Disneyland.

[44:40] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yep.

[44:41] Jelani Remy: Same in World.

[44:41] Lesli Margherita: If you can go on Big Thunder while the fireworks are happening.

[44:43] Andrew Barth Feldman: Big Thunder in Walt Disney World, not a fan.

[44:46] Lesli Margherita: Uh okay. Well, we'll talk about it later.

[44:47] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay, great.

[44:48] Lesli Margherita: No, talk about it now.

[44:49] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay. Last two, the Matterhorn versus Dinosaur.

[44:53] Lesli Margherita: Matterhorn.

[44:54] Jelani Remy: Matterhorn.

[44:54] Lesli Margherita: Matterhorn.

[44:55] Jelani Remy: Dinosaur.

[44:56] Lesli Margherita: Matterhorn.

[44:57] Andrew Barth Feldman: So this is a bone of contention with our fans. I feel myself dissociating it. People I like, I don't know how to feel about people sitting in an audience yelling at me, Matterhorn!

[45:07] Jelani Remy: Dinosaur!

[45:08] Lesli Margherita: Does Na I, I think it's maybe my heaven? I'm not sure.

[45:11] Andrew Barth Feldman: It is. It is.

[45:14] Lesli Margherita: Do you see your reflection down there?

[45:15] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[45:16] Lesli Margherita: You're like looking into your like.

[45:17] Jelani Remy: There's like a mirror right back there too.

[45:19] Lesli Margherita: It's very disconcerting.

[45:21] Jelani Remy: Dinosaur!

[45:27] Lesli Margherita: I think I'm also gonna say Dinosaur.

[45:29] Andrew Barth Feldman: But you didn't choose Indiana Jones? Which is the better version of Dinosaur?

[45:32] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, but compared to m but that was Indiana Jones versus Everest. Finish that sentence.

[45:36] Jelani Remy: Matterhorn hurts.

[45:38] Lesli Margherita: It does hurt.

[45:39] Jelani Remy: It does.

[45:40] Lesli Margherita: The new Yeti, terrifying, but Dinosaur hurts my heart and brain.

[45:45] Jelani Remy: But not your courage.

[45:46] Lesli Margherita: In a fun way.

[45:47] Jelani Remy: Yeah, not my courage. I'm gay.

[45:51] Lesli Margherita: I can't believe I'm admitting this to you guys.

[45:53] Jelani Remy: No.

[45:54] Lesli Margherita: My husband has an irrational fear of the Yeti in life.

[45:58] Jelani Remy: It's not irrational.

[46:00] Lesli Margherita: He's very scary.

[46:01] Jelani Remy: Of course.

[46:02] Lesli Margherita: Like Yeti and everything. So I like, uh in life.

[46:06] Jelani Remy: Yeti.

[46:07] Lesli Margherita: So going on the Matterhorn with him makes me cry laugh because he looks terrified.

[46:12] Jelani Remy: So it's more about that.

[46:14] Lesli Margherita: But the new Yeti is terrifying. So I'm going with Matterhorn.

[46:18] Jelani Remy: Great.

[46:22] Lesli Margherita: Dinosaur wins.

[46:24] David Alpert: Do you know where in Disneyland you can see the former Yeti, Harold?

[46:27] Audience: Yes.

[46:27] David Alpert: Where?

[46:28] Audience: Oh, I know, I know.

[46:29] David Alpert: The cue of what ride. Does anyone know? Because I feel like Lesli and I both know. If anyone can win, I'll give you a prize.

[46:37] Audience: People have World Ride.

[46:39] David Alpert: Where's my bag?

[46:41] Audience: No, I really don't.

[46:49] David Alpert: What's your name prize winner?

[46:51] Audience: Hi, Jessica.

[46:52] David Alpert: Hooray! Yeah, we get prizes.

[46:56] Jelani Remy: No.

[47:14] Lesli Margherita: Flight of Passage.

[47:16] Jelani Remy: Flight.

[47:23] Audience: Anything but what we have now.

[47:24] David Alpert: Just them sitting around going, mmm, Flight of Passage.

[47:29] David Alpert: Okay, Mr. Toad versus the teacups.

[47:32] Jelani Remy: Ooh.

[47:35] Andrew Barth Feldman: Great.

[47:35] Andrew Barth Feldman: I'm gonna say Toad.

[47:37] Lesli Margherita: Toad.

[47:40] David Alpert: Okay, advancing to the semifinals. This is the most sports jargon I've ever seen in my whole life.

[47:46] Lesli Margherita: Am I doing it right?

[47:47] David Alpert: Um, Flight of Passage versus Mr. Toad in our will advance.

[47:52] Lesli Margherita: Okay.

[47:54] David Alpert: Also, it's black paper on a pencil.

[47:57] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, you're doing great.

[47:58] David Alpert: It's like hieroglyphics. It's gonna be great on the Instagram page later.

[48:01] Lesli Margherita: Okay.

[48:02] David Alpert: Haunted Mansion versus Pirates of the Caribbean.

[48:05] Audience: Wow, that's wow.

[48:07] David Alpert: Okay. Everyone take a moment. I want you to close your eyes and understand the passion you have for the Disney parks in that moment.

[48:16] Lesli Margherita: I love that.

[48:17] David Alpert: Yeah, that's it. You all love it. You're my people.

[48:23] Lesli Margherita: Things to consider.

[48:24] Jelani Remy: Johnny.

[48:25] David Alpert: The movies.

[48:27] Jelani Remy: Johnny Depp.

[48:30] David Alpert: In the back, you have a question.

[48:30] Audience: They kept him in, too.

[48:32] David Alpert: Which version of Bobby Ranch in?

[48:34] Jelani Remy: I'm gonna go with Disneyland.

[48:37] David Alpert: No, we're gonna go classic.

[48:39] Lesli Margherita: No, I love this. But can we incorporate the fact that it does have an opening?

[48:44] David Alpert: I think you want to take all the given circumstances. How are we doing Disneyland for both?

[48:50] Audience: Whoa.

[48:51] David Alpert: We should do Disneyland for both.

[48:57] David Alpert: Do we need a five? What's happening? Now is a great time. And don't forget, we've got QR codes for you. You can grab afterwards. And as well as we're gonna be selling some pins. Jelani's demonstrator modeling one of them. One says E-Ticket to Broadway. The other one says see you at the parks. And we also have stickers. We've got stickers. Usually $3. It's on sale for $2 today. One is this, which looks great on a laptop. And the other one is this. It's a signed Goofy sticker by Lesli. No. See you at the parks, E-Ticket to Broadway, and some pins afterwards. Great. I'm gonna get mine out of the way and I'm gonna say Haunted Mansion. And I will be taking no further questions.

[49:35] Andrew Barth Feldman: I too am going to say Haunted Mansion.

[49:39] Jelani Remy: Oh spooky.

[49:41] David Alpert: Me three.

[49:42] Jelani Remy: Whoa!

[49:44] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah, that's a rough one. That was like that was tough. Everyone doing okay?

[49:48] David Alpert: Yeah, we're I'm not gonna do it. I don't know how much longer I can do this.

[49:52] Jelani Remy: Yeah.

[49:53] Andrew Barth Feldman: But wait a minute.

[49:54] David Alpert: What?

[49:54] Jelani Remy: If we're over I you step in if it's tied.

[49:57] David Alpert: What happens?

[49:59] Andrew Barth Feldman: There's three of us. I guess that would never happen, though.

[50:01] David Alpert: But it should be us four voting and then they break the tie.

[50:04] Jelani Remy: Oh, I see. We can do that on the in the final.

[50:06] David Alpert: We have to start over every time.

[50:07] Jelani Remy: We can do in the finals. We have to start over.

[50:10] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay. Uh this one's really challenging. Hall of Presidents versus Tower of Terror.

[50:18] David Alpert: Now hang on. Now hang on. But to consider the president's on Tower of Terror. Just for that on-ride photo. Listen, only one of these has William Howard Taft on it. You know what I mean?

[50:31] Andrew Barth Feldman: Yeah.

[50:31] Jelani Remy: I vote for him.

[50:35] David Alpert: Do you think that Andrew Polk goes to Bill Clinton's like, here's the here's the photo. Here's the photo. That was so neat.

[50:42] Jelani Remy: No, hang on. That's not really Rod Serling.

[50:46] Andrew Barth Feldman: Um it's Hillary Clinton.

[50:49] David Alpert: Okay, Hall of Presidents versus Tower of Terror, Lesli.

[50:52] Lesli Margherita: Yeah, Tower, yeah.

[50:54] Andrew Barth Feldman: Hall of Presidents.

[50:57] David Alpert: Would anyone in the room have chosen Hall of Presidents?

[51:01] Audience: My people, see?

[51:03] David Alpert: Wow. Okay. There really are some people out there. Okay, we got two more divisions. Here we go. Uh Radiator. I have to always say Radiator Springs Racers, because I like to say radiator racers, but someone yelled at me on the podcast. Well, that's just not what the ride is called, David.

[51:17] David Alpert: Okay, well. Unless it's like the car ride.

[51:21] Lesli Margherita: The car ride. Here's my pro tip. When you're on Radiator Springs Racers, as soon as you board your vehicle, close one eye. Enjoy it. And then once you go into the dark spot, switch your eyes so you can see. Because it's a pirate trick. You know the eye patch, so you can see in the dark. Because when you go into the dark part of it, have I lost everyone?

[51:41] Audience: Racing.

[51:42] David Alpert: Thanks. I just got my time warning because of that too. They're like, cut it out.

[51:48] Lesli Margherita: No.

[51:49] David Alpert: No. I mean it's part. Anyway, you'll thank me when you're there. Okay, so Radiator Springs Racers versus the Safari.

[52:01] Jelani Remy: Whoa! Wow. I mean, so different. You know what I'm thinking. I love the ammo moles, the MMOs, but I'm gonna go with Radiator Springs.

[52:11] Lesli Margherita: Great.

[52:12] Jelani Remy: Ingonyama Nengue Namabala.

[52:18] David Alpert: What do you say?

[52:19] Jelani Remy: Ingonyama Nengue Namabala.

[52:22] Andrew Barth Feldman: Okay, Safari.

[52:23] David Alpert: Andrew.

[52:24] Andrew Barth Feldman: This can't be left to me.

[52:26] David Alpert: It is.

[52:28] Andrew Barth Feldman: Really? I'm meditating.

[52:32] David Alpert: Radiator Springs Racers.

[52:34] Jelani Remy: Good night, everyone. I just that's just my answer.

[52:39] David Alpert: Okay, cosmic rewind versus Snow White's enchanted wish.

[1:00:02] David Alpert: Andrew, can you do the whole ghost host speech?

[1:00:05] Andrew Barth Feldman: Uh yeah. Um, welcome to the Haunted Mansion. I'm your host, your ghost host. Kindly step all the way in, please, and make room for everyone. There's no turning back now. Your cadaverous pallor betrays an aura of foreboding, almost as though you sense a disquieting metamorphosis. Is this haunted room actually stretching or is it your imagination? And consider this dismaying observation. This chamber has no windows and no doors, which offers you this chilling challenge to find a way out. Ha ha ha. Of course, there's always my way. And then you look up and a guy fucking hanged himself. I know, I know.

[1:00:38] Jelani Remy: What?

[1:00:38] Andrew Barth Feldman: No, they're not.

[1:00:39] Jelani Remy: Yes.
