Unmasking Disney's New Secret Social Clubs with a Bonfamilles Bourbon Peach Tea
Beneath the magical veneer of Disney Parks lies a fascinating subculture most visitors never notice: Disney Social Clubs. Like secret societies with mouse ears instead of secret handshakes, these unofficial groups of passionate fans create their own traditions, patches, and in-park rituals centered around specific Disney intellectual properties or attractions.
We dive deep into this underground Disney phenomenon, exploring how these fan-created communities form around everything from beloved classics to obscure films. You'll discover clubs like "The Rescuers Underground" with their scavenger hunts and merit badge ceremonies, or "RATS" (Ratatouille's Artisan Tasting Society), whose members conduct elaborate food reviews in exaggerated French accents while strolling through Epcot.
The creativity of these clubs is astounding – from "Haunt Couture" members who walk through parks in ghostly silence while playing organ music, to "Thunder Colt" enthusiasts who engage in competitive "yeehaw-offs" and salute Big Thunder Mountain before every ride. We explore how club members identify each other through elaborate patches worn on vests or jackets, featuring designs that cleverly incorporate their chosen Disney theme.
What makes these social clubs truly special is how they transform ordinary park visits into extraordinary adventures. A club focused on "Atlantis: The Lost Empire" might create compass-guided expeditions through Adventureland, while the horror-inspired "Clock Strikes Never" reimagines It's a Small World as a creepy experience, with members leaving behind tiny dolls throughout the park and whispering "They are watching you. Smile." to random guests.
Whether you're intrigued by the community these clubs foster, amused by their elaborate rituals, or inspired to start your own, this episode celebrates the incredible creativity of Disney's most dedicated fans. These social clubs show how Disney's magic extends far beyond what Imagineers create – it lives in the imaginations and connections of the fans themselves.
Have you encountered any of these Disney Social Clubs during your park visits? Or better yet, would you consider joining one? Share your thoughts and let us know which club concept from our episode you'd most like to join!
Here's who we are and what is in store for you
Hello and welcome to Cheers to Ears, where today we're sipping on a Bonfamille bourbon peach tea. It's a good one. It is a good one, yes, and you can find it at Scat Cat's Club Lounge at Port Orleans, french Quarter, french Quarter.
Speaker 2:Yes, I wanted to say Riverside again.
Speaker 1:I always say Riverside, first, yeah, and then I have to catch myself Right, I almost said it just now, but it's made with Woodford Reserve Bourbon and Bull's Peach Snops with fresh brewed sweet tea for $17.50. Not bad. Not bad, though. It's worth the price of the taste.
Speaker 2:So I kind of messed this one up. It's okay, I, because we record two episodes when we get together generally, because we record two episodes when we get together generally. And our other episode has Jack Daniels, right, which is a Tennessee whiskey. It's not bourbon, though. Listen next week for Jack Daniels. So I, accidentally, instead of using our bourbon, which would have been, I think, jim Beam, is what we have. It's a shot of Jack Daniels, it's a shot of peach schnapps, and then the rest is sweet tea, right, so it says fresh brewed sweet tea. I wasn't going to brew some fresh sweet tea.
Speaker 2:It was fresh brewed at one time. At one point it was fresh and then they bottled it and shipped it to the store and I bought it from there. Right, but very good, it's a sweet tea. There's a hint of alcohol to it, not real forward. No, it's very much the sweet tea. So if you want a boozy sweet tea, right, this is it. Lemonade or peach yeah.
Speaker 1:I really like it. I really like it. It'd be good with like a maybe a little lemon on it in it, maybe little lemon on it in it, maybe a slice of lemon garnish. Yeah, I think so good, I'd be good. So my question is for next episode that we're gonna record today. It's a coffee drink. It's a coffee drink. Do we substitute? Do we use bourbon for that? We could just to make just to even it out.
Speaker 2:so for our listeners who don't, who don't know this because you didn't, I don't know a lot, though and I found this out because bourbon is my alcohol of choice. I would say If I were sipping just something neat no ice or anything, it would just be bourbon. Agreed. Now, tennessee or Jack Daniels is a Tennessee whiskey. Bourbon is technically started out Bourbon County, kentucky. It's the same thing. The only difference is Jack Daniels is filtered through charcoal and you can't filter bourbon Bourbon. So that's the only difference. It's corn mash. It's a mash whiskey yeah, same thing. Basically, it's corn mash. It's a mash whiskey yeah, same thing. Basically, it's just this is filtered, this is filtered. But other than that, there you go, there you go, there's your bourbon lesson for the day Bourbon lesson with a good sweet tea.
Speaker 1:This is a good sitting on the porch drink. It is Go with some of our other episodes we've had.
Speaker 2:And I could imagine able to drink two or three of these.
Speaker 1:Right and you could, while you're in your outfit, yes, your garb, your garb, if you will. Yes, what we found out. I didn't know these things existed last week when we started talking about this subject.
Speaker 2:I'm teaching you all kinds of stuff.
Speaker 1:I didn't know this thing. Have you ever seen these people that we're talking?
Speaker 2:about today at.
Speaker 1:Disney. I've never seen these people. I think I've been there enough times and I've been there.
Speaker 2:What 100? Right Enough times times.
Speaker 1:Yeah, enough times, times when I've been there and it's.
Speaker 2:I've never noticed them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I've never seen there's pictures.
Speaker 2:There's pictures Online you could find, but they're Disney social clubs, which is why we went with Scat Cat's Club Lounge.
Speaker 1:Right, so what is?
Speaker 2:a Disney social club. So they are informal, I think, mostly groups. It's not like I don't think there's a membership, but it's a group of people who rally around a certain IP of Disney. They make patches. So if you think about patches if you're old enough the denim patches of bands that people used to put on the back of their jean jackets Okay, they do something similar. So they'll make patches that identify them. And sometimes it'll be like the full patch, like the, the heavy metal patches that you got or I don't know panels that it's not really even a patch. Like the heavy metal patches that you got or I don't know panels, it's not really even a patch.
Speaker 1:But anyway, and if you don't have patch money, you use a Sharpie.
Speaker 2:Yes, you just write it into some color and share. They did do that Right Back in the day. So, anyway, these social clubs, they identify with that, that they have meet and greets, that they get together at the park. They have something that they do right, and so we thought we needed to invent a few more social clubs and I.
Speaker 1:I think I want to join all of these that I wrote down. I'll probably want to join some of yours too there's only a couple of mine.
Speaker 2:That because I went with a lot of obscure. I did, and that was my goal, to go with obscure ip and I don't know if any of these exist now, but to be honest, I some of these could actually exist, who knows? And if we have a listener, let us know if you are in one of these. Social clubs are fascinating for some, for some of these, so let's get into it.
Speaker 2:Want to start it off? Go ahead, sure. So mine is the Rescuers Underground. Okay, based off of the IP, the Rescuers and the Rescuers Down Under. Their logo is a vintage message in a bottle with seagull wings and Bernard's knit cap and Bianca's feathered hat. I like it.
Speaker 2:Yeah, and I came up with a meet and greet and Mouse Scouts Rescue Training Camp is what it was called. So the location is Tom Sawyer Island Caves and Magic Kingdom and there's a scavenger hunt and then there's a rope bridge crossing challenge and then making your own merit badges. That's all part of the get together, informal event, get together for this social club, and one of them is when I was putting it together. I was like what's the vibe? And for some reason and I don't know, something popped up, but I decided to call it the patron saint of something popped up, but I decided to call it the patron saint of. So this, this club, if it were a person, who are they the patron saint of? Who's their patron saint? Yeah, okay, not who their patron saint is. Okay, the club, the club, the club's a saint, so like the rescuers down under. Okay, so they, they are the patron saint, but this and this was about who are the people that this would attract so? Quiet heroes, anxious optimists and anyone who does brave things even when terrified.
Speaker 1:Okay, yes, that's a funny take. Who would join the club? I didn't do, yeah, I didn't do. Who would join the club? That was the. My clubs are for everyone, oh, anybody, can you? Can you have your elitism over there, the type of people who would pick it?
Speaker 2:I don't want to box my people in it's it's like no or ravenclaw or whatever that you know I mainly just make an excuse because I didn't do that part okay but you do have an idea. I mean beyond just this is the the type of person that, right, you know what's the vibe right.
Speaker 1:Who would? Who would right?
Speaker 2:exactly I like called it the patron saint of.
Speaker 1:I like that. Okay, that's a cool take. That's good, it's your first one. That was my first. Okay, my first one's called RATS. Okay, r-a-t-s With periods. With periods, it stands for Ratatouille's Artisan Tasting Society, ooh, and it's Epcot-based. I would join that one. Okay, your must-dos. You hold informal food reviews of park snacks and you speak in exaggerated French accents, oh, as you walk around Epcot. Oh, oh, this one is not very good, oui, oui, right, you stage fake arguments in front of food carts over the food choices at the cart. Okay, okay With each other?
Speaker 2:Yeah, right, well, I'm imagining that that would kind of be fun. Yeah, with each other yeah, right, well, I'm imagining that that would kind of be fun. Yeah, it sounds kind of fun, right, yeah, it was. So I'm imagining it with the French accent and that's. It's just entertained here in my mind.
Speaker 1:It'd be a fun day at Epcot. Yeah, eli might enjoy Epcot a little more, since he trashed it pretty much on the episode. Still bitter about that yeah.
Speaker 2:I've argued with him in my mind a couple times Over that.
Speaker 1:We might have to have a great debate with him. We're not going to have much chance the next year, but we'll figure it out. The patch is a rat On a motorcycle Inside of a chef's hat, so the chef has the patch and then inside of it is a rat on a motorcycle and it says really big on top is the rats nice, okay, I would.
Speaker 2:I would probably join that one. Nice, yeah, sign me up we might do.
Speaker 1:We might even do some of these.
Speaker 2:We could, we could there's no reason we can't start our own group.
Speaker 1:no, we, we could even do like we don't have to have all the insignia and stuff to do a partial Epcot day where we use French accents and argue over, like at the Canadian cart, argue over the popcorn.
Speaker 2:So this should be coming out about the time I'm in Disney World, but we're recording two weeks from when I leave on that trip, Right? So I might have to do when I'm trying different, some new foods, because that's my plan is to try a couple of new foods at Epcot I might have to do the fake X.
Speaker 1:Well, if you do it, someone should record it and then we post it on social media.
Speaker 2:Right, yeah, it'll be on Instagram. Perfect, okay. So my next one, isma's Elite Alchemists oh, I like that name. That's a long one. So the Emperor's New Groove is where. This is the IP. The logo is a bubbling potion bottle with a paw print, surrounded by green smoke and Incan-style glyphs. You sound like me over there.
Speaker 1:Yeah, getting your words all Bumbling over my Right Incan style. Take my thing. You're supposed to be the well-spoken one.
Speaker 2:So the meet and greet, this is one near and dear to our hearts, I think. But a potion and plan night villain science fair. Okay, so this is at Skipper Canteen land and well in magic kingdom, but we will be making our own non-alcoholic potions or alcoholic. Do you order the drinks and then make them? We would see. That's why we would have to do non-alcoholic, because you, you can bring out. You can't bring alcohol into the parks, right so? So if you all get together, you just bring a little bit of this or that. You know some pog juice or some this, you know something like that. You make it in the cantina and you know you might have to sit outside of there, but yeah, you do a little mixture some drinks.
Speaker 1:What if you order like two different drinks and then mix them together? You could do. That Would be the goal. You have to order two drinks and mix them.
Speaker 2:That is possible. So, and during this because it's villain you have an evil laugh contest. Oh, I like it. Yeah, so patron saint of brilliant schemers, theatrical failures and mad scientists, that's very good, yeah, I like that one.
Speaker 1:I would be involved.
Speaker 2:The drink vaccine and I just watched that movie like a couple weeks ago, so I think I need to rewatch it because I know it's got a lot of good humor to it. She's awesome, that's a good villain.
Speaker 1:We don't talk about her enough. My next one is called the Haunt Couture. Did you do your patch? Yes, haunt Couture. Did you do your patch? Yes, okay, okay, I remember. Okay, the Haunt Couture is my Haunted Mansion, okay, haunted Mansion Club. The must-dos are to pose dramatically as grim, gritting ghosts at every photo. Pass, okay. And at exactly 3.33 pm on the day, you walk the entire park in ghostly silence with organ music over Bluetooth speakers. So on your phones you have music going on. You slowly walk through the park. That's your must-dos.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:The patch is a tombstone, with a top hat with glow-in-the-dark thread and here's my saying underneath it Okay, I'm proud of this. Okay, laugh if you want, hate it if you want. I have 999 problems, but a park ain't one.
Speaker 2:I like it. That's my Haunted Mansion. Okay, my next one Sky High Outliers. So this is a Kirk Douglas, not Kirk Douglas Kurt Russell, kurt Russell.
Speaker 1:Man. You're a hero and you're not even.
Speaker 2:He's your favorite Disney person ever and I called him Kirk Douglas because he's in one of my other, the main actor, but anyway. So flying the logo is a flying yellow school bus bursting through clouds with lightning bolt trails. That's a good patch. So it's a superhero high school. It's up in the clouds. So they're going to have a meet and greet and it'll be called the Power Placement Rally and it's at Innovations Courtyard. It says Disneyland. What's Innovations Courtyard? Yeah, I think it meant Epcot. I'm just going to edit this part out.
Speaker 2:Yeah, just say Innovations Courtyard, and then just yeah, so this one is in Innovations Courtyard, and Activities is a superpower simulator course with strength, agility et cetera, stuff like that, but it'll be like low key hanging out, so like picking up a chair, there's your strength test.
Speaker 1:Okay, so yeah, cause, yeah, you have to be. You can't like bring stuff into the park. Exactly, make your own course.
Speaker 2:A sidekick and hero sorting ceremony. So you got to decide who's the sidekicks and who's a, who's a? Okay, who are the heroes? Right, some people like being a sidekick, and then this is the patron saint of late bloomers, misclassified weirdos and those who haven't quite figured out their powers. That's funny.
Speaker 1:That's funny. My next one is Addie helped me with this a little bit because I haven't seen too much of this show, just a few episodes, but I went with the descendants. Okay, the club's called rotten core and what you have to do is you have to pick one good deed. So the idea of descendants for those who don't know is they're the sons and daughters of villains. Yes, right, yeah, but they're pretty good, they try to be good, right, they're kind of good guys, but villains right, yeah. So you pick one good deed each visit and do it as villainously as possible. Like, for example, I guess I'll give you directions but don't get lost. Okay, right, and you stage a fake vote. Every day you're at the park to exile one of the members out of the club, because they don't actually get exiled, but for the day they're exiled from the club.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they got to walk around some other.
Speaker 1:Right, they're out of the club for that day. Yeah, and the patch is an apple with a bite taken out, with green and purple flames behind it.
Speaker 2:Nice, simple, yeah, I like it.
Speaker 1:That's not a club I'd probably join. It's not really my vibe.
Speaker 2:No, well, I mean, you had help with figuring out the descendants, right, you know, for the longest time they talked about the descendants and I just thought of the George Clooney movie, yeah, whenever they said that, and I had no idea that, oh, that's a Disney thing too. So, anyway, portman's Blades is my next one. Okay, the IP is the Mighty Ducks. Oh, good one, we'll focus on the Bash Brothers. So the logo is a cracked goalie mask with wings, cross sticks and graffiti flame text. Oh, I like that, yeah, so pretty much like the Mighty Ducks logo. But you can't use technically the Mighty Ducks logo because you'd get in trouble.
Speaker 2:So they're going to have a meet and greet Bash Brothers Bash is the name of of it, but it's at the espn worldwide of sports, at walt disney world. So they have that whole sports complex and it'll just be doing the different sports activities that are there. That's the like. The meet and greets are always at at that particular location. Mm-hmm. Patron saint, raging hormones, okay, chaotic loyalty and the unbreakable brotherhood of the bruised and misunderstood.
Speaker 1:That's funny, that's funny. My next one is the genius society. Genius society, yes, from Aladdin Okay, it's a genie. Us this society from aladdin okay, it's, it's a genie themed. The must do's are you grant three fake wishes to strangers in the park, like you will get a free churro right and just walk away okay, you know it'd be a good take on that one.
Speaker 2:What's that boy? I wish you know someone. You just overhear him. I wish this lamb was shorter. Your wish is granted and then just turn and walk away.
Speaker 1:It's all about turning and walking away or ask them what they wish. I grant one wish for you in the park I want to go to Club 33. Granted and then walk away, and then walk away. They'll be ringing that doorbell for hours. The genie said and you're supposed to, you have to speak at as many rhymes and impressions of people as possible, A la Robin Williams. So during the day you have to try to impersonate as many people you can, oh yeah, as many rhymes as you can.
Speaker 1:Yes, during the day. The patch is a genie on a magic carpet-like motorcycle Right A la, I'm going to a la again. The patch is a genie on a magic carpet-like motorcycle right A la, I'm going to a la again. Orange County Choppers oh, okay, okay, like that kind of motorcycle. Yeah, magic carpet-style motorcycle, okay Right, and the genie's on it. And then the sidecar is Abu with goggles on.
Speaker 2:With goggles on.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a good idea. And below it says three wishes, no regrets. It was on the bottom of the patch.
Speaker 2:That's a good catchphrase. Yeah, you have some good catchphrases. I didn't come up with any catchphrases, I came up with a few. Your next one? Okay, so mine's the Tomorrowland Bots. So the IP is just Tomorrowland. Okay, so the IP is just Tomorrowland, okay.
Speaker 2:And the logo is like it's a sorry, what am I Robot. I mean, it's a robot from the future as imagined in 1955. Okay, and it just says Tomorrowland bots. Okay, it's kind of lame because Tomorrowland's kind of lame. Okay, so it's just a lame group, it's just yeah, and it's in front of like it would be in front of like a futuristic city as well. Okay, just kind of a bot, toy bot standing there in front of a futuristic city. So the meet and greet theme is the lost city of tomorrow and it's at the Disneyland. It could be at either or Right, tomorrowland's. They're just because they both meh. And so you go on a scavenger hunt that's part of it to look for tech type items on this list. You know, you might have your control panel on this particular ride or you know whatever. But designing your own tomorrow pin, okay, yeah, so you've got to design a pin. And then, sorry, I've got to switch pages here. Then I kind of messed this one up.
Speaker 2:So then, the patron saint of this one is disillusioned idealists, ambitious tinkers and those who still believe in what if, even when the dream fades.
Speaker 1:That's funny, yeah, that's funny, so that's funny. So we were talking, I came up with two ideas for a Tomorrowland. Right, these are just bare bone ideas. Yeah, the Tomorrowland construction crew which is a bulldozer with, like, the Astro Orbiter on their side, on the other side, where you're just tearing the whole thing apart, yes, and doing away with it together, right, all together. And the disneyland based people mover, the comeback people mover oh yeah, people mover revitalizes revitalization crew.
Speaker 2:Oh right, the committee for for revitalizing right, yeah, the committee for revitalizing disneyland's people yeah, yes, those are my two tomorrow ones.
Speaker 1:I just, while you were talking, those two popped in my head. I don't have anything else about it, but, yeah, that's, that's my two for tomorrow. It has so many good ideas.
Speaker 2:So this one I tweaked. I had it written out and then I realized I didn't like the idea, cause it mixed a couple of ideas and I was I was trying to rewrite it in my in my head.
Speaker 1:That's kind of what happened there. That's funny. Okay, my next one's the lost idol society. Okay, this is the indiana jones based based um okay group. Right, so what you have to do is you have to dramatically warn others not to look into the eye of mara so do you stand outside the ride anywhere in the park?
Speaker 1:anywhere in the park outside the rides better anywhere in adventureland. I guess is the best part to do it right. Anywhere adventureland, you'd get some very questioning. Looks like what are you right on the jungle cruise while you're going by the the back of the?
Speaker 2:yeah, that'd be a great place. Don't look at the imr right just yell it out loud, like seriously, and look all distressed I wonder, wonder, what the old Jungle Cruise skipper would say if you just screamed that out Right, just blood curdling.
Speaker 1:Right, both of my things have to do with yelling. For some reason I don't know why. My other one every day you must yell at least one time, and all these things. I say at least one time. You can't do it constantly because that ruins it, right, just I mean you could do it a couple times a day. We're not saying constantly walk around the park being a lunatic right, but you have to yell at least once it belongs in a museum, at least one time. The patch is a cursed idol wearing sunglasses, surrounded by snakes and a flaming whip.
Speaker 1:Ooh, I like that one, I like that whole idea of just I like the ride I started out with doing, doing like movies and stuff, and then I thought, oh, rides are Disney, yeah Right. So I went with a bunch of rides.
Speaker 2:You went with yes, you have a bunch of rides, yeah. And I went with a bunch of rides yes, you have a bunch of rides, yeah.
Speaker 1:And I went with the obscure Obscure things. Yes, Movies that have like a 2% viewing rate on Disney+?
Speaker 2:Yes, If they're even on Disney+.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:But that's what, because I needed help and then I did my research on these topics.
Speaker 1:after ChatGPT came, helped me come up with some obscure IP and a movie that has a 0% watching rate on Disney+, which you'd probably have a huge following in the parks, would be A Song of the South. Oh, I bet so many people would join that. Yeah, because there's so many Facebook pages. Yes, on Splash Mountain should be there. Tiana sucks because Splash Mountain's better. Yeah, yada, yada, yada, blah, blah, blah. Okay, your next one.
Speaker 2:The Atlantis Wayfarers, so this is based off of the Atlantis, the Lost Empire. The logo is a glowing crystal over a compass rose ringed in ancient glyphs.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:Yeah, so the meet and greet is expedition to the forgotten empire. It's adventure, land, jungle cruise, dock, walt, disney world. So that's it's atlantis. Takes place on the ship, but it's out. You know space and all that this is. You know you're gonna have to use a little bit of imagination for this right. But it's atlantean glyph decoding and secret messages puzzle. So anytime you see some sort of because there's one part where you're walking through and I think it's supposed to be the Mekong River, but there's different like symbols Anytime you see a symbol, you have to decide what that means. Okay, and it can mean anything you want you know, that was a chicken hitchhiking.
Speaker 2:That's funny, yeah, so this one part of it is, and I got this idea from in boy scouts, okay, where we would have to take a compass and it would say head 80 degrees northwest, you know, or whatever. I'm really messing that up, I don't even so, northwest west, head for 400 steps and find the blah, blah, blah, but that in the Disneyland park, okay, and the end point is a certain spot and you have to make your way to that certain spot. That sounds fun and that's how you do that is by compass. So, and then journaling Okay.
Speaker 2:So you have to journal your day, have a day and you write out you know in your journal which I funny story one day write out. You know in your journal which I funny story one day it was. I think it was fairly early on after getting my annual pass back years ago when I was down there and I texted I was going to Disneyland. I think it was like the 17th time. I used to keep track of how many days for that first year I went because I wanted to go.
Speaker 2:That's what you should do 50 days or 45 because I wanted to go and have it cost average of $20 a day, but anyway, day 17 of visiting Disneyland, food rations are running low and I did this whole kind of thing and then I texted it to like Dave and Asha and DJ and Leah that's funny, but yeah, I used to. And then I'd start writing those journals. But you have to keep a journal, so the patron saint of obsessive researchers, explorers who get lost on purpose and those who believe in the truth is buried deep. That's good, yeah.
Speaker 1:That's a good one. My next one is off big thunder mountain. Okay, and I call it the thunder Colt. Okay, eli doesn't like the name Colt. He wanted me to change it. Well, he didn't want me to change it, he just didn't like the word Colt for some reason. I like it, I stuck with it because I think it's a good. This is one of the things. When I first thought of what have rides, I thought of big thunder, but I really wanted to. Okay, so I have two rides I really want to do, and one was big thunder. So before entering the line, and if you were in a group with people in your, in your club, in unison, you, before you enter the line, you point at the mountain and you say this here is the wildest ride in the wilderness.
Speaker 1:And then you walk in line and every time you enter the line, yeah, and then you just have like, during the day you have competitive yeehaw offs. I like that, like one-on-one yeehaw offs, and you can have a judge if you want. But you can just yeehaw a few times and be done if you want. The patch is a skull riding, a runaway mine train with cross pickaxes and the slogan born to thunder on the bottom. Nice, I think we need it. I think it needs a theme song to like born to be wild, but born to thunder or it needs a bluegrass version of that, or, or a mixture between Born to be Wild and Thunderstruck.
Speaker 2:But hear me out on this. Yeah, but it's kind of an old Country Bears version of that song or that mix.
Speaker 1:That's a good one too.
Speaker 2:So someone playing a washboard, someone playing like got the jug blowing into the jug, right yeah.
Speaker 1:That version. I almost won with Country Bears for one of my yeah that would just be a good one.
Speaker 2:I came close. I would consider joining that. One, nice, okay. So how many do you have left? I have two. Two, okay, I have two left as well. So because I end up doing 10, I dropped one and you did eight, so that's why I have more. But I these are two that I wanted. I really wanted to do so the medfield misfits because I've always got to go back to the kurt russell computer, wore tennis shoes. Now you see him now you don't. Strongest man in the world. So Dexter, you know his character from those three movies.
Speaker 1:If we have any listeners at all that have watched any of these movies. Even after we did, we did a whole episode on Kurt Russell movies. Yeah, right, yeah, I mean I think they went a prize Something, I don't know what it is, but text us if you've seen any of these. Message us A day with Kurt Russell, right, we'll like send you something.
Speaker 2:You wish you had a day with Kurt Russell. Wish granted. And we'll walk away send us your wish wish granted, see you later. So this is the imagination pavilion. So it's spaceship earth. Yeah, yeah, underneath when you're leaving. Yeah, this is where that.
Speaker 2:That's where the it's gonna happen, okay, the but the logo before I into that it's a retro CRT monitor, okay, with a lightning bolt across the screen, surrounded by a laurel wreath made of pencils and rulers and test tubes and a pair of 70s tennis shoes dangling from the bottom edge. That's a busy logo. It is busy. A lot of stuff going down. It's going to have something from each of the movies. Well, you can do. Now you See Him, now you Don't. That's where the test tubes come in. Just no logo. Just no logo. So, but the meet and greet theme is DexterCon. Okay, nice, the Medfield Science Fair Throwdown, that would work good in that area?
Speaker 1:It would, because there's space.
Speaker 2:I mean, it's something we just always just walk through yes, I try to look for my face up on the little pictures and I've never found them. I remember the first, the first time I went to disney world and none of us knew about that and we looked up and I can't remember if I could see my face, but I remember my cousin could and and her friend Julie. I think they both saw like their faces and but weren't expecting it. We were all laughing so hard because it just looks so goofy with the way that they paste your face up there.
Speaker 1:Right, so Eli makes his. Eli has a. My son Eli has his ride. Face he does. You've ever seen it? I don't know. He does it at every camera spot. He knows where all the camera spots are at Disney, yes.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah.
Speaker 1:He was figuring them out at Disney World as we went along. Yeah, and he makes the same face. It's a weird looking mouth open, showing teeth like he's scared kind of face, and he does it. It's a crazy looking face and he did it. He's the only I think he's the only one that showed up too, and he did it on spaceship earth when we were there and it was hilarious on the screen. Yeah, he's really good at that face. He does it every time. I think he invented it on incredicoaster and every time on incredicoaster was the same face. Now he does it every ride. There's a lot more camera spots at Disney World yes, there are. Or at Disneyland right, there are.
Speaker 2:Yeah, but they send you your pictures directly to you, right? Even if they have, if you haven't paid for them, they still send them to you. They're just covered, they have the watermarks over them. But anyway, getting back to mine, imagination Pavilion at Epcot. So as part of the meet and greet you have a science experiment showdown. So you have to bring, like, a science experiment from home that can get into the parks. So, whatever, it is Okay, a little wind up, whatever, yeah. Then trivia memory blitz trivia, because in one of them the computer wore tennis shoes. It's all based off of intercollege trivia, so you play that and a tennis shoe contest like who can have the most retro looking tennis shoes.
Speaker 1:That's like the whole, you have way too much knowledge of these movies so, since we did that one, I'm like this.
Speaker 2:I just want to know everything about the interviews. So patron saying a hyper intelligent slackers, chaotic inventors and kids who blew up a chemistry lab and still got an A.
Speaker 1:That's funny. Next time I'm going to my favorite ride, pirates of the.
Speaker 2:Caribbean oh, that's your favorite. I thought it was Big Thunder. No Pirates is my favorite ride because pirates. The caribbean oh that's your favorite, I thought it was big thunder, no pirates is my favorite ride.
Speaker 1:Okay, because I ride it, so I have to ride it multiple. I'll ride as many times I can. Okay, big thunder's right there. Yeah, it's also a must do. But I've rode. I've ridden pirates more than any other ride like by a long ways I think, think for me it's, it's big thunder Really. Yeah.
Speaker 2:Anyway, go ahead.
Speaker 1:Big pirates. Pirates yeah, the black spire buccaneers. Okay, black spire buccaneers, that's what I called him.
Speaker 2:But now so question the galaxy's edge question.
Speaker 1:Yes.
Speaker 2:Is it, would people confuse it? They would.
Speaker 1:I thought of that.
Speaker 2:Maybe that's I didn't change the name okay, and see, that's what I just did a while ago with my tomorrow right name could be changed.
Speaker 1:Yeah, okay, it'd be up for an negotiate in our first committee meeting. Yeah, maybe we changed. Nothing else would want to be changed, though, because while you're in adventureland, only pirate slang is allowed. Okay, just in, just in Adventureland, arr, yeah, ooh, you must toast to Davy Jones many times during the day with anything you have. It could be a drink, it could be a churro, right? If?
Speaker 2:two people have a churro To Davy, right To Davy, arr Aye.
Speaker 1:Aye Davy Jones, aye the captain, and the captain, and pledged loyalty to captain red. You know captain red? Yeah. So I read the whole story of captain red again today. Oh, did you? Yeah, because she was. She was one of the people they took out of the ride her first iteration of her. Okay, because she was kind of a overweight woman that they. No, she wasn't the overweight woman, she was one of the people they bid on. Oh, yes, in the thing, right. So they took her out. Well, they were bidding on her, right. So it actually, and she wanted to be bid on and it was a whole thing right back in the day. So now she's her actual first animatronic is in the disney archives now, oh, but. But now there's a new red and now she's a pirate. Now she's a pirate. Right now she's yeah, she's back talking totally. She's yeah, she's totally badass. Yeah, right, yeah. So that's why you pledge your loyalty to Captain Red every day.
Speaker 2:We can go the whole backstory.
Speaker 1:But look it up. Look up, captain Red. The patch is a skeletal pirate swinging from a chandelier with a churro in one hand and a mug in the other. Okay, nice. And below it it says no refunds, no parlay. I like it. That's my favorite lines from the movie is no refunds, no parlays. Yes, I'm a big parlay guy. Okay, I have one more. Do you have one more?
Speaker 2:yes, all right, let's have it and we pause for a commercial. We have to pause because I forgot to look this episode, sponsored by Tydex.
Speaker 2:That's the stuff you wrap a house when you're building it, that white stuff, tyvex, tyvex. I just made up a thing. So mine, the League of the Nautilus, okay, and I haven't watched it yet, and I actually should go home and watch it tonight. The 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, if it's on Disney+ I don't watched it yet and I actually should go home and watch it tonight. The 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, if it's on Disney Plus.
Speaker 1:I don't know. I don't think anyone under 40 years old has ever seen that movie.
Speaker 2:No, that the Black Hole, those were classics when we were a kid. Anyway, since I brought that up with another episode which has not aired as of recording today, but I believe might be next week, anyway, our heroes bars, all right. Yeah, yeah, I'm trying to think we shouldn't even talk about this. So the League of the Nautilus IP is 20,000 leagues under the sea, so the logo is the prow of the Nautilus submarine emerging from stylized Kraken tentacles.
Speaker 1:Okay.
Speaker 2:And with a glowing porthole center at the eye, at the center, sorry, and the words Mobilis in Mobley arch around the top in brass rivet style lettering, which is part of the movie. And that's what I was doing. I was looking that up. So moving within the movable is what Mobley means and I meant to look that up as I was doing research. Oh, this is on there, okay, so I add it. And then I'm like, okay, but I got to look that up and I got to look it up. So meet and greet theme below the surface, a gathering of gentlemen, scientists and seafaring scholars. So you have to go to the Finding Nemo submarine voyage. I thought you'd mention that. So you have to ride it. Uh-huh, I mean, it's disappointing because it's Finding Nemo now it doesn't have anything 20,000 leagues to it, but the activities because it's a great place. Outside of Crappy Burger, what is Galactic Grill?
Speaker 1:Yeah, I like Crappy Burger better. I like that.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that's the name of Crappy Burger. But you have to build a diving helmet. Okay yeah, how do you build a diving helmet? Okay yeah, how do you build that.
Speaker 1:It's some arts and crafts. You bring a lot of stuff in the parks for your group. Your clubs bring a lot of stuff.
Speaker 2:Well, it's for their gathering. It's not like they do this every time, I know so in an interactive Nautilus tour game. So you have to you follow clues and decode symbols around Tomorrowland to chart the lost path of the Nautilus.
Speaker 1:So again and I kind of stole this idea from the like, I said the, the compass, but it'll, but it's more, it's just within Tomorrowland so so you're saying that if you're in the tomorrow, if you're in the, if you're in this group, this club, and you forgot your compass, you can find someone from the other club and just hang out with them and see if you can borrow a compass yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, no, this one doesn't need a compass. Oh, it doesn't need a compass. It's not compass led. But I took the idea. Oh, it's the idea of, like you know, you'll have to like head 50 fathoms. Oh, due east, right. So you gotta know what a fathom is, right? Do you know what a fathom is? I don't know what a fathom is. It's six feet, okay. So if you have to head 50 fathoms, you have to do some math. So, patron saint of reclusive visionaries, anti-imperialists, obsessive engineers and anti-imperialists, obsessive engineers and anyone who's dreamed of disappearing into the deep.
Speaker 1:That's funny. That's funny For now, the one I have all been waiting for, because you don't know what it is yet. But we've all been waiting for this. I went with my favorite ride last when.
Speaker 1:I just did. Yes, now I'm going to go with my least favorite ride. Oh, okay, this is what made this episode for me, just to make up this one. This one is a small world, a small world attraction club. Okay, but it's one I'm gonna make. So if anyone wants to be part of my club, get a hold of me and we can make this club. We can make the patches. I will be involved in this club. I will do everything I can. As many times I go to Disneyland, I will use my magic key to its full extent for this club. Okay, okay, this is my club. This is what I want to make. This is my. I'm called to this. This is me.
Speaker 1:Okay, it's called the Clock Strikes Never. And it's called the Clock Strikes Never. And it's the idea is, the dolls are cursed beings Trying to take over the park. One, one thousand minute song at a time. Okay, every hour, every hour, you gather at the clock and you tilt your heads in unison as the dolls emerge. Like slowly, tilt your head, right, this is a horror movie. Take.
Speaker 2:If you haven't got that yet.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you ride Small World in dead silence, moving your heads back and forth to the right and left the entire time.
Speaker 2:Interesting. That would be weird seeing that boat and one person in your group sits backwards. I wonder if they let you I don't know Time to find out. As long as you're not naked running around in there, you're probably okay.
Speaker 1:Right Every time you're in the park. You have to leave behind one tiny handmade doll somewhere in the park Randomly and you have to whisper to at least one guest per day. They are watching you smile without without losing eye contact with them.
Speaker 2:I'm going to practice it right now with Aaron.
Speaker 1:They're watching you smile.
Speaker 2:And then you walk away.
Speaker 1:Yeah, you don't blink. You just stare at them, watch you smile. See, you're trying to home right now.
Speaker 2:Everybody is granted.
Speaker 1:Wow, you're inviting groups again. So that's the things you do. We can add more. Oh yeah, I mean, there's so many possibilities in this, just creepiness, right? This is what small world is to me. The patch is a cracked clock, a cracked clock with red eyes okay, a carrot. And then below it's a carousel of broken doll hands linked in a circle of fire and it says. It says below it's not the world that's small, it's the time that's left. Okay, this is my group, this is my calling to life. I have found it. So I had an idea of the logo.
Speaker 2:This is my group, this is my calling to life. I have found it. So I had an idea of the logo of a child laying in bed and a doll hovering over the child sucking out its soul. Right, yeah, it's a good alternative there. Yeah, because that's pretty much what happens on that ride. Yes, it just sucks out your soul, I know, and, yeah, leaves you just demented.
Speaker 1:It's a world of death and a world of tears.
Speaker 2:Welcome to my Disneyland house. That was a good one to end on. Yeah, it was.
Speaker 1:Yeah. So yes, join my group. We're going to have like studies every Monday. Yeah, I'm making this group happen. Our patches will be ordered soon. I'm thinking at least 400 or 500 people initially will join this group Initially.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Right, but I see the potential is thousands.
Speaker 1:Right, I need an East Coast representative to captain the East Coast and maybe a local California person to be there daily. Daily to Right, we'll get different board members.
Speaker 2:I think so. Yes, it'll happen All right. Good night, so good drink, good drink, some interesting social clubs for Disney. Yeah, yeah, cheers, cheers.
