Unexpected Magic: A Week at Disney Without Setting Foot in a Park with an Empress Lime Gimlet

Aaron & Aaron Season 2 Episode 12

Send us a text

Have you ever wondered what a Disney World vacation would look like without stepping foot in a theme park? We've crafted the ultimate resort-only Disney adventure, proving there's plenty of magic beyond the turnstiles.

Starting with cocktails (naturally), we recreate Narcoosee's Empress Lime Gimlet before diving into our meticulously planned week-long Disney resort experience. From Boardwalk strolls to Skyliner resort hopping, we map out daily itineraries filled with activities most parkgoers never discover.

The Disney bubble offers surprising depth without a single ride or character meet. We discuss splurge-worthy experiences like the Grand Floridian spa, Starlight Safaris at Animal Kingdom Lodge, and private fireworks cruises. Our culinary journey spans signature restaurants like Flying Fish, Jiko, and Topolino's, alongside hidden gems and quick-service standouts.

Our detailed budget breakdown reveals a startling discovery—this luxurious resort-only approach might actually cost more than traditional park visits. When trading ride time for fine dining and specialty experiences, the price climbs quickly, though the relaxed pace and unique memories might justify the splurge.

Whether you're a Disney veteran seeking a new experience or someone who appreciates the Disney aesthetic without attraction crowds, this episode offers a fresh perspective on vacationing within the Disney bubble. Could your next Disney trip be park-free? The resorts alone might just provide all the magic you need.

What would your ideal no-parks Disney itinerary include? Share your must-do resort experiences or hidden gem restaurants you'd prioritize on a park-free vacation!

Here's who we are and what is in store for you 

Speaker 1:

Hello and welcome to Cheers to Ears, where today we're drinking an Empress Lime Gimlet which is made with Empress 1908 gin, rocky's Botanical Liqueur, cane sugar and cold-pressed lime juice, and it's $17 at Narcoozie's at the Grand Floridian, or we like to call it the Grand Californian, in Florida.

Speaker 2:

Right, we you? Anyway, getting back to our drink, we did kirkland brand gin. We didn't do the empress because I wasn't going to drop 50 bucks on a bottle to do one specific drink.

Speaker 1:

So and we used a kirkland brand gin here for the bartesian yes, I think it's Bombay, sapphire is what it's just relabeled Kirkland.

Speaker 2:

So we did that. We did Bowles Elderflower Liqueur for the Rockies Botanical Simple Syrup. We did two ounces of gin, a half ounce of the Elderflower Liqueur, a half ounce of the Simple Syrup and three quarters of an ounce of fresh lime juice.

Speaker 2:

Over ice Shaken in a shaker and poured into a coupe glass with a little lime garnish, and it's tasty, it's good, it's really good, so I'm surprised. So the lime is not too tart. The elderflower liqueur adds a bit of a floral note. That's subtle, but it helps the flavor. Overall you don't get a real strong gin flavor. You get a good lime flavor though.

Speaker 1:

That's what makes this drink so good. You can taste all the flavors and they're all subtle. Nothing sticks out. All blend together, so well. It just works. I didn't think it was going to work. I thought it was going to be tart. Blend together so well.

Speaker 2:

It just works. I didn't think it was going to work. I thought it was going to be tart. This is one. When I went through menus just looking for drinks, I wanted to try this and they also do a key lime martini that looks really good, but I did this one.

Speaker 1:

Glad I did this is a good choice, very good. Try this at home. Try this at Narcoosies yeah, just try it. But today we're talking about taking a disney trip to disney world and not going to the park at all for a whole week.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, and I say disney world because you can't really go to disneyland, because you're just going to anaheim. There's no disney bubble there, and if you're not going to the parks, there's no point in going, because that's what the whole deal is. So we went there a week.

Speaker 1:

I could stay a couple days at Disneyland Hotel, not a week, but I could stay two nights no park. I could totally do that, could you? Yeah, maybe three nights. Okay, just hanging out at Disneyland Hotel, going downtown Disney, just chilling.

Speaker 2:

I think because there's not a lot of tours or excursions that are available in Disneyland, so it's just hanging by the pool or hanging out in a lounge.

Speaker 1:

I like looking at stuff too and going shopping like you don't. Yeah, that's true, yeah, that's a difference.

Speaker 2:

But I mean downtown Disney is like a couple of hours and you're good. Yeah, maybe run around in circles in the plaza I could do it every day, shopping every day, seriously.

Speaker 1:

Anyway, we gotta dive into this, because I wrote a lot of stuff okay, we'll have to rein you in.

Speaker 2:

so this is a sunday through saturday trip, right, flying in on sunday, flying out on saturday, monday through friday in parks? How did you start out your day, or where did?

Speaker 1:

you stay. Day one I fly into Orlando and check into the Boardwalk Inn. Okay, as you knew I would do. Yes, do you want me to just go through my day one real quick? Yeah, sure, why not? Okay, okay. So day one explore Boardwalk. All right, there's street performers and the whole ambiance of the place. Just walk around Boardwalk because we're flowing in the middle of the day. Then have dinner at Flying Fish. I ordered for me and Christy. So if you're listening to this, christy, see how I did. I ordered the seared scallops for Christy $54. The potato-wrapped red snapper for myself for $60. And then she had a peanut butter freeze to drink $15.50. And I had an espresso martini. That's $15.50. Okay, I'm going to tell you about these drinks really quick. Peanut butter freeze is Kahlua liqueur, bailey's Irish cream liqueur Bowles, cream de banana liqueur Bowles, cream de cocoa, dark liqueur and peanut butter, the espresso martini we've had on the show before.

Speaker 2:

So I'll just skip that.

Speaker 1:

I had the potato-wrapped red snapper $60. She had the seared scallop $54. We had the peanut butter freeze and the espresso martini, and they're both $15.50.

Speaker 2:

Okay, you actually went in a little more detail than I did. Yeah, I'll go through them really quick.

Speaker 1:

Because of the food Right, because I ordered the food and then I added it all up at the end. So I'll give a total price at the end for the whole trip.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so mine it's just a solo trip. I think that's what I figured. Actually, this would work for solo or whatever. But my arrival day I stayed at the Yachter Beach Club either one of those just because I wanted access to Stormalong Bay, the pool there, and assuming I was flying from Portland on Alaska Air, which means I'm at the resort by 5 o'clock.

Speaker 1:

Okay. I didn't put plane ticket price.

Speaker 2:

I didn't add that in it can be anywhere from $300 to $500, depending on time of year. My whole focus on this was excursions and nicer restaurants Excursions. Yes, focus on this was excursions and nicer restaurants Excursions. Yes, because there are options of doing some tours excursions without going into the parks. Right, and I think actually I didn't even go up to, because there's a lot of stuff to do and I know this isn't your place, but Fort Wilderness, the campgrounds, there are a lot of things there kayak rentals, bike riding.

Speaker 2:

That would be a lot of fun, but not necessarily your thing, and I don't know if I. I can't remember if I actually planned it into my week. Right, but a lot of stuff there to do.

Speaker 1:

That would be my thing if I wasn't going to the parks.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

I think I would totally do something like that. My arrival I just went to the abracadabra, okay, and I forgot to go there.

Speaker 2:

I was kind of holy crap I didn't go there at all no, not any day. I kept thinking about it and not putting in my day. So that was it, some food and drinks. I didn't actually look into it as to what food or drinks or anything into that detail, but yeah, that's kind of what I do, low-key yeah.

Speaker 1:

On our day one, we in our night sharing that strawberry riptide milkshake at the Warlock Ice Cream and then maybe take a Skyliner ride to look over at nighttime. Oh yeah, At the resorts. Just a quick ride, no, just riding back. That's our first day, so day two you want to go over here or day two.

Speaker 2:

Where are you staying? Did you say where you're staying? Probably the Yacht Club, but Yacht and Beach I mean kind of the same Right. But I did more of the Yacht Club. I was thinking more of the Yacht Club and I'm going to get a little confused because I put arrival day and then day one. So my day one and your day two are the same thing. So day two, the first full day, I'm there. We have a late breakfast at Gwendolyn Rogers.

Speaker 1:

Of course you went there.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, cause I've been dying to try Gwendolyn Rogers, cause I want to try their croque, madame, because I've had it at the Riviera and it's, I've heard, is even better, like tons better at Gwendolyn Rogers. It's hard to beat, I don't know. So this is a very low key day late breakfast wander over there at about 10 o'clock. Of course I would have to have a reservation long before then to actually get in. But just a pool day hanging out in the lazy river by the pool pool bar, hanging out there all day, nice, getting some snacks from the poolside bar.

Speaker 1:

Nice. So to save time, I will just skip all the prices and tell you the price at the end. You guys can look up the prices on anything I say if you like.

Speaker 2:

I will post the drinks we had on our Facebook page. And so, to wrap up day one, I was going to go to the Crew Club Lounge at the Yacht Club for dinner Because they have those prime rib sliders that I've been wanting to try. Those sound really good. I looked at their drink menu and it's not impressive, but I figured I'd still go for the sliders and call it good, right, yeah, but there's a lot of good places in there, in both those that are interesting to try. Maybe wander over to the Beaches and Cream the ice cream shop over at Beach Club afterwards, but yeah, that's a good idea.

Speaker 2:

It's a low-key because of that first day where you just want to keep things low-key, uh-huh. So this is your.

Speaker 1:

Monday this is my Monday. Okay, so is low-key, uh-huh. So this is your Monday. This is my Monday, okay, so this is my Monday. Now, that was my Sunday when I flew in. We had dinner and that's all we had, yeah, so day two, we get up and have breakfast at Boardwalk Bakery Two bagel breakfast sandwiches and two Joffrey's cold brew. So that's what they have. Then we do a little Skyliner resort tour, caribbean Beach, riv Riviera and Art of Animation. We just hit those really quick, just explore the areas, check them out. Then we go to Fantasia Gardens, mini Golf at the Swan Hotel oh, place of mini golf.

Speaker 2:

I didn't even think about that.

Speaker 1:

That sounds really fun Because that's in the same area that I'm at too, so then we just have some pool time at Luna Park Pool at the Boardwalk where we have a pina colada and one of my favorites, the banana cabana. And then we have dinner at Ale and Compass at the Yacht Club. I have the New England seafood pot pie. She has the popper deli pasta with shrimp. Our drinks are a Purple Mariner and a New England Cherry Swirl. Both sound delicious. That is our day two.

Speaker 2:

So Carousel Coffee is an option when you're at the Boardwalk. You know how. They have La Petite Cafe, which has great cold brews at Riviera, and Carousel Coffee's good, I've heard. It's another good coffee shop, really. So you don't need to drink Joffrey's.

Speaker 1:

Oh man, that changed my whole. That plusses my trip up. Yeah, I had a lot of Joffrey's cold brews.

Speaker 2:

I'm looking at Joffrey's cold brew, nitro cold brew, shake-a-rotto, but they have better options there Right Than like riviera. So that's another one. And then what was the other? Oh so you were talking about your pot pie at allen compass. Okay, so there's a new restaurant bourbon steak over at the dolphin. Okay, that's where I had dinner for my day two. They have a lobster pot pie. This is a seafood pot pie also yeah, but it was.

Speaker 2:

It looked incredible and I watched. I think it was all ears. They did a review of it and just said their food there was incredible. So throwing out an option. This restaurant's been open like two weeks, wow, so another option for great. They said the steaks were some of the best on property. And then they had that Maine lobster pot pie. They just said incredible the presentation when they served it. It just looked incredible.

Speaker 1:

I'm going to watch that because I love a pot pie, yeah, and I just looked good when I was. Yeah, I was wanting to go as I was doing this podcast. Okay, do you want my day three right now? Sure, tuesday is my Disney Springs day. We're just going to relax and chill out and walk around Disney Springs, grab a quick snack for breakfast at the Boardwalk Bakery, just share a Mickey cinnamon roll, a couple of Joffrey coffees again. But then we're going to fly. We're going to do the Aerofile balloon flight at Disney Springs. It's $3 a person. And then we're also going to do the tour with the car at Boathouse oh, the Aquamobile. That's $125 for the car. We can find another couple to go with us. It's up to four people. That does look fun. So those are the two things we're going to do, but I want to go to Wine Bar.

Speaker 2:

George, I really want to go there.

Speaker 1:

So it's just a shared lunch. At Wine Bar George. We're going to have the Big Board, which is a charcuterie board with meats and cheeses. The price of that is $64. That's quite a bit. My drink is the Wine Bar George, old Fashioned, and she'll have the Scripted in Summer. It's a really cool drink. It has rum, strawberry and rhubarb. Oh, that sounds really good. And then we'll have dinner at Boathouse Nice, where she'll have the grilled mahi tacos, of course, right, and the jumbo lump crab cake looks really good.

Speaker 2:

I've heard that's the best seafood there, really yeah.

Speaker 1:

And then we'll have a couple beers, because we've drank a lot of mixed drinks Cocktails already.

Speaker 2:

Yeah.

Speaker 1:

They have a Dockside Haze by Florida Avenue. Brewing Sounds pretty good. Oh, and then an Island Citrus Blonde Ale from Ismerelda Brewing in Fort Pierce, which we just visited. Fort Pierce is a great little town on the Florida coast. So yeah, that's our day three.

Speaker 2:

So my Tuesday I wake up, simple breakfast, just the quick service at the Yacht Beach Club. Then I'm doing the four-hour fishing excursion. Right, it's all docked right there. Just have them take around for four hours and pretty early. I want to go before the heat builds up and just do some fishing in that lake in between Hollywood Studios and Epcot. How much is that, do you know? It is $ okay for up to, I believe, four people. I think drinks are provided. Maybe drinks aren't provided, but you can bring your own drinks and snacks if you're solo.

Speaker 2:

You're paying the whole it's four hundred dollars.

Speaker 2:

Yes, it's 400 for a boat, whether it's one person or up to five. They're very nice pontoon boats. You have a guide, you have a captain, so he's handling all of that stuff. But, yeah, something that. And honestly, at some point we almost did this on our last trip because Dave and Brad especially Brad loves fishing and so we were talking about doing a fishing trip for them. Probably we'll end up on one of those fishing trips and I think you can do it for two hours, but I just went ahead and did the four hour, maybe the pool and a nap in the afternoon, because if you're out in the sun, whatever nap might sound good, just hang out in the pool, cool off a bit. For dinner, like I just mentioned, bourbon steak over at the Dolphin.

Speaker 1:

Hotel. Oh, so you had it in there, yeah.

Speaker 2:

So it's real close and I was like, oh well, you're going for that because I want to try that pot pie so we can compare. Yes, the pot pies Compare, and they also had some really good looking appetizers at that location. So at some point that's on the bucket list of restaurants that I want to try before it potentially goes downhill. I know it's like super good now, but you never can tell if you know where things are going to go. That's a good day and ending it with a really good dinner. That's nice.

Speaker 1:

My day four. There's no alarm clock on day four, we're just sleeping in. When there's no alarm clock on day four, we're just sleeping in sleep. It's a resort chill day. So this is the splurge I put on there. I put two prices at the end, one without this it's 390 dollars for the grand floridian spa couples massage. So we're cruising over there having a couples massage and then, if that tea room ever opens again at ground Floridian it's been closed forever, right, if it opens back up and they have the afternoon tea, that'd be really cool to have a massage and then have a tea.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, that sounds great, doesn't it?

Speaker 1:

But it's not open right now. Then just a sunset walk on the boardwalk. And then did I put where we're going to eat. I didn't put the place we're going to eat at, because we're going to have a pizza somewhere for dinner. Okay, I think it's at the boardwalk.

Speaker 2:

There's a pizza window. Yeah, but there's an Italian place there too.

Speaker 1:

That's where we're going the Italian place. Okay, I forgot the name of it Trattoria, something like that. I forgot the name of it. Anyway, a pizza and then a couple drinks. Tr. Victoria, al Forno, yep, that's the place. So just shared a pizza, having a couple drinks. Nice, and that's our day four.

Speaker 2:

Okay, so my day four. Wednesday breakfast at the Riviera, the quick service, piatto, yeah, whether or not I go for the croque madame again, I might just do the regular breakfast, which is still good. Their pancakes were incredible with the lemon curd blueberries, but yeah, really good. And then it's just resort hopping, walking around the boardwalk checking that out, then heading over to Coronado, either the Dahlia Lounge to have a drink or Three Bridges Bar and Grill. It's a nice resort, it's big and just to walk around for a bit.

Speaker 2:

And then for dinner, heading over to Animal Kingdom.

Speaker 1:

Okay.

Speaker 2:

Starting off dinner at Boma at Animal Kingdom, okay, but I'm ending the night with the Starlight Safari. Oh, at Animal Kingdom Are?

Speaker 1:

you guys doing that. I will join you in a couple days.

Speaker 2:

Tell me how it was. If you're going with Christy, it would be the thing to do, and at least go by Animal Kingdom to show it off and stuff. Did you go to Animal Kingdom?

Speaker 1:

with her. Yeah, I took her to Animal Kingdom right after. That's where we met Eli. Okay, I remember when she wanted to leave Animal Kingdom. So bad to get to the lodge. Oh, that's right, because Eli was in Orlando, him and Addie had entered Orlando and then all of a sudden, she didn't want to be in the parks anymore.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, so Starlight Safari. Thank you, christy and Ian went to Starlight Safari for that day.

Speaker 1:

That's perfect. My day five is when I moved to Animal Kingdom Savannah Room for the rest of my stay. We're just going to chill out all day in Animal Kingdom just walking around. It's a great place to walk around outside and we'll have a Savannah room and a great lobby to hang out. Yeah, we're just going to chill out in the pool, whatever. And then we're going to have dinner at our favorite restaurant, sanaa Sanaa. Yeah, christy's never had the bread service. First thing we'll do is order that bread service, right, yeah, and we're gonna share the grilled lamb. I'm gonna have it again, okay, but we're just gonna share it because it's so big. Remember how much food that was the bread service and the meat. That was a lot of food.

Speaker 2:

We had four people to share the bread service.

Speaker 1:

Right's even more. It's gonna be two of us, yeah, and then I will have the african mai tai and she'll have the african star mojito, nice for drinks, and that's just our day. Five, just chilling in animal kingdom, nice, which is pretty much our next day too, but go with your day six. Is your you're on right, or is this your day?

Speaker 2:

five, day five. So this is thursday. So day four morning yacht, beach for breakfast. Day five yeah sorry, I put it as day four. So thursday yacht and beach for breakfast just again another simple, easy breakfast. Then I'm gonna do some resort hopping for the magic kingdom resorts grand floridian, polyian maybe head over to Wilderness Lodge, maybe over to Fort Wilderness to walk around the Triple Circle D Ranch with all the horses.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, it's cool.

Speaker 2:

It's just fun to walk around there. It's a quick little ferry ride and I love taking ferries when I'm on property, so most of that is just walking around those resorts and checking them out. Now, tambu lounge, because I want to have either that, or kona cafe for maybe a lunch to get the lapu lapu right, yeah, because I want to try that in the parks and stuff. Light spot of lunch there, yeah, and then for dinner, narcooses there you go which is where this drink came from.

Speaker 2:

mine's gone. Yeah, mine's gone too. There's a little sip left, but yeah, I've looked at the menu of narcooses and it's one of those it would be hard for me to pick. The appetizers, look good, the entrees look good, the desserts, look, the drinks everything in there looks really good. Plus, it's over the water. If you go during dinner time during the fireworks, you can watch fireworks from the restaurant. But I don't do that, so we're having kind of an early dinner. I'm going to do the fireworks cruise. Oh nice, that's a good idea. I would love to do that, but not at Magic Kingdom. I'm going back to my hotel and I'm going to do the fireworks cruise at Epcot instead, just to try something a little bit different. So that's my day. I want to end close to the resort that I'm staying at. Yeah, that's cool. So that's your Thursday.

Speaker 1:

That's my Thursday, so Friday, so my Friday is an immersive Animal Kingdom Lodge day. Uh-huh, it's going to immerse ourself in the entire lodge. We're going to have a morning coffee in the room. So we have the Savannah room, right, yeah, so we splurged on that. So we're going to sit and have a cup of coffee on the deck and just look out at the Savannah for a while and see if we spot any animals or anything. Nice, and then the Mara is a quick serve.

Speaker 1:

We're going to have breakfast there Just Mickey waffles, a croissant breakfast sandwich and a couple mochas. Nice, just a quick, easy breakfast. But then we're going to do a cultural tour of the resort. So they have cultural tours you can take during the day. Oh, I didn't know that. They just give history talks and walk around the Savannah area. Oh, very cool't know that they just give history talks and walk around the Savannah area. Oh, very cool, just a little walking tour that's free. Then we're going to take a painting class. Oh, at the resort, $45 a person and you just take a painting class together.

Speaker 2:

Sounds kind of fun For my previous day while I'm at Coronado. I might have to look into the Sangria University.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, you should. Yeah, look into the Sangria University, the Sangria. Yeah, you should. Yeah, yeah, you should add that right now. That's added on. That's added on. Yeah, then we have dinner at Jinko the Cooking Place Jinko, jinko, yeah, jinko, with N. In silent there's no N. Oh, I put an N. Okay, jinko the Cooking Place and go to the cooking place and I'm gonna have a steak for the first time of the trip. Okay, so here's where I'm gonna tell you prices, because here's how the order is gonna go. Okay, christy, there I'm gonna say I really want a steak and it's 62 dollars.

Speaker 1:

Yeah, right. So she's gonna see that and say I'll just have the the diver scallop with pork belly appetizer for 18 for dinner. That's what she'll have. But then I'm to have a two ounce pour of the McClellan 15 year Ooh Spice side. It's $30 for a two ounce pour. I'm going to have that with my steak. This is our last night, so I'm going hog wild, right. Then I'm going to finish it with a Cape Town coffee, okay, which is an alcoholic beverage. Yeah, just alcoholic beverage. Yeah, just to sip on it after dinner. And then Christy will have dessert wine because of all the stuff I'm ordering. So she'll order the Brudbunt Madeira Tenier, which is $18 for the dessert wine. And then we're going to do the Starlight Safari after that. Nice, that's $89 a person.

Speaker 2:

Okay, yeah, I forgot to add the price to that one and the firework cruise. That ends our night. That ends our night. So my friday we're gonna resort hop, but the disney springs kind of area okay well, because I still want to check out saratoga it's the only resort I haven't. But I want to have brunch at olivia's at old key west because it looks like a pretty good menu. So I want to go have breakfast there. That's pretty much it Go check out Saratoga and then have brunch at Old Key West and then head back Afternoon just hanging out in the pool, pool bar, whatever. But dinner is at Topolino's over at the Riviera Been wanting to check that out. The views just look incredible from there.

Speaker 1:

I had that on my list. I was going to go for lunch there, but they're not open for lunch.

Speaker 2:

Oh, okay, just breakfast and dinner, Right when I was at Riviera.

Speaker 1:

I looked at their menu. I wanted to go to Topolino's, but there was just breakfast and dinner.

Speaker 2:

I thought about going to checking out Toledo's again, but been there, haven't been to Topolino. So going to Topolino Then just head back to the hotel and call it an evening.

Speaker 1:

I almost added Cirque du Soleil onto my trip to see the show, but they don't have performances on Tuesday and that's the day I was at Disney Springs.

Speaker 2:

I looked through the schedule and didn't have anything. On Tuesdays Do they have a special Disney World only show? I think that's what that is.

Speaker 1:

They have a billion different shows.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, I know that To me it's like, well, you could go see Cirque du Soleil anywhere, so I don't want to do it there. If it's a different show, it might be worth it.

Speaker 1:

Departure day, just a quiet morning walk. If we have time depends on what time our flight leaves we'll take a lift or something to another resort and check it out and I'm assuming that I flew on Alaska.

Speaker 2:

I'm not leaving until 8 o'clock that night.

Speaker 1:

That's just all we're doing. Maybe check out a resort we haven't checked out before 4.30.

Speaker 2:

I'm doing brunch at Summer House on the Lake. It's just one of those restaurants I wanted to try, but then I started thinking about it. I might do the brunch at Raglan Road, because that's I like, raglan Road, and Disney Food Blog just ranked it as their number one brunch at Raglan Road. They mentioned Summer House on the Lake. They mentioned Chef Art Smith's Homecoming, which I've eaten there. That's good. I wouldn't mind going back there. But it's just my Disney Springs day Wander around, maybe do a little shopping, check everything out, have some brunch and then just head back to the hotel and wait for transportation to take me back to the airport.

Speaker 1:

Perfect, that is my trip. The total cost for both of us, with the hotel I added everything on without taxes, for both of us, with the massage, is $6,297.80 for the entire trip minus flight. That's for all the food, food, all the safari, even all the coffees and whatnot all the coffees every.

Speaker 2:

I added every single thing, so, yeah, you might be looking more like it. 7 000 with the merch, but it's 590780.

Speaker 1:

When christy saw that, when she would see the price of the massage and decided she didn't want to do it. So yeah, that's the price I came up with for my all, no holds barred, seven days, just do whatever I wanted to, and price didn't matter at all yeah, I know I picked a couple of spendier restaurants topolino's spending, our kusis is definitely, especially if you have an appetizer and a couple drinks.

Speaker 2:

Yeah, you're looking 150 bucks probably per person there, and then the tours and the fishing trip. That's my equivalent of your massage day.

Speaker 1:

Right, your spa day. It's the same $300. Yeah, you probably are at like $3,000.

Speaker 2:

Probably more than that just because of the hotel and stuff, because if it's five nights, six nights Right. Yeah, six nights yeah. Because $4,000 or so, actually probably more, maybe. Yeah, because it's not split in between two, right the hotel's not split between two.

Speaker 1:

That's the main price.

Speaker 2:

I'd say about $5,000.

Speaker 1:

I could tell you right now it was $851 a night for the Savannah Room Okay. $732.50 a night for a deluxe studio at Boardwalk Okay.

Speaker 2:

I'm trying to think that's probably $50, $150. I can't remember the fireworks cruise. I think there's a minimum. You just can't go by yourself. You get in the whole boat and so it costs you.

Speaker 1:

You're going by yourself, so everything's amplified, unless you meet some people. Walk around with a shirt that says who wants to go on a firework?

Speaker 2:

cruise. Who wants to go on a firework cruise with a rando?

Speaker 1:

Right. So that's our no holds barred. Seven days no parks, no rides, Just excursions and fun, and I think that sounds like an amazing trip.

Speaker 2:

It does. It pretty much proves that it's just cheaper to go into the parks.

Speaker 1:

Oh yeah, because we're spending our time drinking and eating instead of swimming. I mean I wouldn't eat that much. There's no way I would spend that much because I couldn't eat that much food.

Speaker 2:

Because it would be really expensive food. So a day in the park or food, and it's the same cost.

Speaker 1:

Realistically, if we were to go, it would be like a inexpensive breakfast, something light for lunch and then a nice dinner. There'd be one meal a day. There wouldn't be these two bigger meals that we'd eat. I wouldn't have a drink.

Speaker 2:

We're talking three to five alcoholic beverages a day, which sounds well, you would have that many, I would probably still only have a couple, maybe three so yeah, thanks for listening and cheers.
