0:17
>> Welcome to Geek's Corner. I'm Mr. Daps.
0:19
>> I'm Katie.
0:20
>> And did you know that the Savannah
0:21
Bananas were officially founded in 2016
0:25
as a college summer league team that
0:27
played in the Coastal Plain League? I
0:29
did not know that. I knew 2016 and I
0:32
ended there. But they left that league
0:34
in 2022 to make their own. Mhm. Which is
0:36
what we see and hear and play and all of
0:39
those crazy things now today. That's
0:41
Banana Ball. That is Banana Ball.
0:44
There's a whole Banana Ball League?
0:45
There's uh two
0:46
>> growing. more teams, I think. There was
0:49
the Florida Coconut [snorts] and then
0:51
the Indianapolis Clowns, which is
0:53
actually an old team.
0:56
History. All right, what should people
0:57
do, Katie? You should go into the chat
0:58
and you should tell us who your favorite
0:59
Banana Ball team is. Uh and if you were
1:02
at Savannah Bananas Day at Disneyland
1:04
because Or one of the games this
1:05
weekend.
1:06
>> Yep. Yeah. Or any games. Have you ever
1:07
been to a Savannah Banana game?
1:09
>> Or baseball.
1:11
>> [laughter]
1:11
>> All of it, you know. It's all good. It's
1:13
that time of year. Uh go into the chat.
1:16
Tell talk to us about baseball or
1:17
Savannah Bananas or uh Disney. Whatever
1:20
you whatever you feel like. Um we can
1:23
also go to subscribe wherever you are,
1:25
here.
1:27
Um and there is a third thing, which is
1:29
dapsmagic.com/dapshq.
1:32
Uh there's a post show to this show.
1:33
It's called Daps After Dark. It's a
1:35
whole lot of fun. It is a lot of fun.
1:36
But we have a lot of fun to cover
1:37
tonight as we talk about Savannah
1:39
Bananas Day, as we talk about the Easter
1:41
Bunny,
1:42
D23 tickets, Disney Legends, and a game
1:46
of Where's Mr. Daps?
1:47
>> Ah. There's a lot going on tonight, but
1:49
we're going to get right into it. The
1:50
Savannah Bananas took over Disneyland on
1:53
Thursday and I was not there once again
1:56
because that just seems to be the way
1:58
things go.
1:59
>> you're in the country this time. I was
2:00
in the country. Um
2:02
but
2:03
you covered Savannah Banana Day, so talk
2:05
about it. Ah! I covered Savannah Bananas
2:08
Day. Yes.
2:09
>> Um so
2:11
>> [laughter]
2:12
>> So, um Savannah Bananas Day
2:15
officially comprised of three
2:19
um shows officially. There was a show at
2:22
the castle, there was a show at Paradise
2:24
Gardens Park, and there was a cavalcade
2:26
on Main Street.
2:27
>> Mhm. Um and then throughout the day,
2:29
there was banana-flavored treats all
2:31
around the resort. There was merchandise
2:33
in Downtown Disney, and there was a
2:36
virtual queue that you could join to
2:38
meet the players. And and there were
2:41
little pop-up moments.
2:42
Which yes, those like I was saying those
2:44
weren't official. Those were just kind
2:46
of
2:48
not announced, I guess.
2:49
>> Yes. I I would call them pop-ups. Sur-
2:51
surprise pop-ups.
2:52
>> Yes.
2:53
Um so talk about it. Uh so the castle
2:56
show, that was I also was not at
2:59
Savannah Bananas Day last year because
3:00
famously I was also out of the country.
3:03
Um so this was my first real experience
3:05
with seeing anything Banana Ball live
3:08
with my eyeballs.
3:10
Um
3:11
super impressed by everything.
3:13
The biggest thing and I think that this
3:16
is kind of the hardest thing that people
3:19
for people to grasp is because
3:21
most people when they are trying to
3:22
explain the Savannah Bananas, they just
3:23
say, "Oh, you know, Harlem
3:25
Globetrotters, but baseball."
3:27
Yes, close. It is like exhibition games,
3:32
but they are all professional athletes
3:34
that are all very good at what they do,
3:35
and they're all competing, which is why
3:38
Banana Ball has the league.
3:39
>> game is not determined before it begins.
3:41
>> No. There you go.
3:43
>> is not determined before it begins. Um
3:45
Poor Indianapolis. [laughter]
3:48
It's true. Um you know. But
3:50
>> there.
3:51
>> [clears throat]
3:51
>> Yeah. They're playing against the the
3:53
team that made the league, so
3:54
>> that the league is named after. So um
3:59
I will say like the the most fun part
4:00
about the show is that yes, these are
4:02
all incredible performers, but first and
4:05
foremost they are athletes that are
4:07
really good at what they do, and I think
4:09
like seeing them let their hair down, so
4:11
to speak, super fun. Um also a lot of
4:15
them are just like really big kids. So
4:17
um one of
4:19
>> Seemed like all of them.
4:20
>> Almost yeah, every single one of them.
4:22
Um I will I do want to give um
4:26
two shout-outs. One, Foster on the
4:28
Bananas, which funny, bananas Foster. Um
4:32
very excited that his mom was in
4:34
attendance and was an absolute
4:35
sweetheart and um at the castle and in
4:38
the cavalcade, he made sure that every
4:41
single person around knew where his mom
4:42
was.
4:43
And like took time out to hug him or to
4:45
hug her, and I think that's super
4:47
special. And then uh Kelsie Whitmore,
4:50
who is uh actually the first overall uh
4:53
draft for the women's professional
4:55
baseball league. Um and I was talking to
4:58
her before I got to interview her, which
4:59
was like the coolest thing in the entire
5:01
world. And I was like, "Hey, you know,
5:03
so many little girls have grown up and
5:05
they've been told you can only play
5:06
softball. Um and you are trailblazing
5:10
cuz not only are you playing baseball,
5:12
like you're playing two different
5:14
professional baseball leagues. Um you're
5:16
playing one that is um
5:19
co-ed, and you're playing one that is
5:20
women's, and you're such a good pitcher
5:23
that you are the first overall draft
5:26
pick for women's professional baseball
5:28
league.
5:29
Um and I I just think it's really cool
5:30
to get to see
5:32
athletes that don't necessarily look
5:36
like the people that you're used to
5:37
seeing. Cuz you know, you're used to
5:38
like this pitcher is like this super
5:40
tall guy who's got this crazy long arm,
5:42
and I was like, "I'm just as tall as
5:44
you. Like I'm looking you in the eye.
5:46
And you're a crazy good pitcher."
5:48
Um and so I just I really loved it. I
5:50
think that if you do have a chance to
5:53
make it, if there is another one of
5:54
these someday,
5:55
I think you
5:56
>> assume next year. I would I would assume
5:58
so, too. But you never know, you know.
6:00
>> Very possible. Um I I would say
6:01
absolutely take time out to experience
6:04
this. Bring your patience, bring your
6:06
kindness. Uh this is something that a
6:08
whole lot of people want to do. Um and I
6:11
think that if you focus on why you're
6:13
there, which is the fun, it's a really
6:15
good time. Um obviously I'm
6:18
a huge baseball fan. Um I would have
6:20
loved to see Banana Ball, but those
6:22
lottery things are crazy.
6:24
>> And we didn't try. Also that. You know,
6:27
minor technicality. One thing you should
6:28
note about her, though, is she was just
6:31
about to give up on her career a year
6:33
before, and she went from basically
6:35
like, "Oh, this isn't going anywhere."
6:36
to then being on two teams. Yeah. And
6:39
and so, you know, there's a good lesson
6:41
in that of never giving up. So,
6:44
very fun. Uh speaking of someone who
6:46
never gives up and is constantly on a
6:49
path to, I don't know, maybe pass up
6:51
Santa Claus. I I don't know, but the
6:54
Easter Bunny's back at Disneyland, and
6:56
Roger got this wonderful picture for us
6:58
on Well, don't you think?
7:00
Like I feel like there's always this
7:02
little bit of a thing going on between
7:03
the Easter Bunny and and Santa Claus. Uh
7:06
which way would you say? I would say
7:08
Santa Claus is easily the most popular.
7:10
Well, that's why he's trying to catch
7:11
up. Yeah. Well, I don't I don't know
7:13
that. Anyway, the Easter Bunny is
7:15
meeting in Town Square on Main Street,
7:18
USA. It's a very
7:20
cute meet and greet, and uh he will be
7:22
there through Sunday for Easter. And
7:24
this has become the routine at least at
7:26
Disneyland the last few years is uh he
7:28
shows up on the Sunday before Easter,
7:31
and then he stays throughout the week,
7:32
and uh
7:34
then he disappears after Easter. Uh he's
7:36
there, if I recall, it it's it's like uh
7:39
10, 11, 1:30, and 2:30, or something
7:42
like that. Um but it's only four times,
7:44
and um
7:46
which is a little bit less. I think it's
7:48
like a shorter window than last year,
7:50
but it might be about the same.
7:52
Anyway, what do you think of the Easter
7:54
Bunny getting to meet people at
7:56
Disneyland?
7:56
>> He's just a handsome little guy. Like
7:58
look at him. He's got a top hat. He's
8:00
got coat tails.
8:02
Um he doesn't have any shoes on, which I
8:03
think might be dangerous. Uh so you
8:05
might stub your toe. Quieter for uh
8:07
delivering the eggs.
8:09
>> Oh, yes, yes. What I really love,
8:11
though, the star for me is those
8:13
shrubberies with the Easter eggs.
8:15
>> Yeah, those are pretty cool. It's
8:17
adorable.
8:17
>> Somebody was brilliant with that. It's
8:19
so springy. It's so happy. Um and I
8:22
think that the Welcome Friends
8:23
background um I don't know if this has
8:26
been part of the DL70 for
8:28
um
8:30
like this color scheme. I don't know if
8:32
this is new.
8:32
>> it's changed a few times. This color
8:34
scheme is so good. Yeah, it does spring
8:37
out. The weird thing is, though, is I
8:38
look at that and it almost makes me feel
8:40
Walt Disney World. I see that.
8:42
>> blue and and whatever. Yeah.
8:44
But no, I think it's great. I
8:47
it
8:48
as I was looking at the picture, I was
8:52
thinking back a few years, and maybe
8:54
more than a few years, of when they did
8:56
the little cavalcade with all of the
8:58
Disney rabbits.
8:59
>> Mhm. And they had like Roger Rabbit and
9:01
Rabbit and he's you know, like they had
9:03
all of them that they could find. And
9:04
then I think they did like the the bunny
9:07
hop or something. Uh-huh. The bump bump
9:09
bump ba da ba da ba da you know, that
9:10
one. I did not know that.
9:11
>> And um
9:12
it was it was one of those really random
9:14
things, and it was kind of in that era
9:16
of long-lost friends, where there was
9:18
just so many random like, "How many
9:20
characters can we throw at people in
9:23
different ways?" And it really was
9:25
special, and I remember like it was
9:27
ridiculously popular for that cavalcade
9:30
as it went around. And um
9:32
I don't want to say it was something
9:33
weird, but only went around like it came
9:35
out right where the the Easter Bunny is
9:38
by by Mad Hatter, and I think it only
9:42
went around Town Square, and then went
9:44
backstage. Like I don't think it did the
9:46
full
9:47
I don't think it did the full parade
9:49
loop. Bunnies have a lot of work during
9:51
this season.
9:52
>> funny, but also not unprecedented back
9:55
in the day because there was a time
9:58
before the 50th where they would do
10:00
these weird cavalcade things that would
10:03
go up just to the castle and back.
10:05
Yeah. And they'd do like there was the
10:07
Mary Poppins moment in the like there
10:09
was a I think there was like three
10:10
versions of them.
10:12
Um I hadn't thought about that in a long
10:13
time either. Because Chris Glass just
10:15
said it. Um limited time magic is indeed
10:19
one of the smartest
10:21
uh campaigns that the Disneyland Resort
10:22
>> use it even when it's not. Like
10:25
Limited time magic truly was limited
10:26
time magic.
10:27
>> Mhm. But the phrase limited time magic
10:32
genius.
10:33
Genius. And and honestly it set the bar
10:36
so high. Like they do some fun things
10:38
for magic key holders now, but you think
10:40
back of limited time magic back at the
10:43
Big Thunder Ranch with the annual pass
10:45
holders
10:45
>> Long lost friends. And there was the
10:47
long lost friends and there was what? A
10:48
dozen, two dozen like there was so many
10:50
characters back there. And and like that
10:53
bar is going to
10:55
I don't know that they'll ever reach
10:56
that level of awesome again.
10:58
Hard to say. You know we get other
10:59
stuff, but not all in that like one
11:02
space condensed insanity of of
11:06
Like they even did their little show
11:07
moment when they're walking out and back
11:08
and stuff. And the piano player and like
11:10
there was just so much going on.
11:11
All right, speaking of things going on
11:13
it is time for something crazy to go on
11:15
and that is where's Mr. Dabs?
11:21
>> [music]
11:25
[music]
11:31
>> That's right, it's time for where's Mr.
11:33
Dabs and the way this works is I'm going
11:35
to show you a picture of some place that
11:37
I went when I was by myself at
11:38
Disneyland. And you get to guess where
11:41
it was at. And this is for everybody to
11:43
play. So keep score at home. We'll see
11:45
who gets the most correct. I tried to
11:48
make things a little easier this time
11:50
cuz I felt like maybe last time things
11:51
were a little too hard. And am I wrong?
11:55
Yeah. No, you're not wrong.
11:56
>> Like I think they're easier, but they
11:58
might be hard. I don't know. Like this
12:00
is very hard.
12:00
>> Your mind is scary because the first
12:02
week you were like, "Yeah, gosh, these
12:04
are these are going to be easy." And all
12:06
of us were like
12:07
>> [laughter]
12:08
>> Well, now at least you can see where
12:10
they are cuz we have photo number two
12:12
that shows exactly where they ended up
12:14
being. But are you ready for the first
12:16
one?
12:18
All right, where's Mr. Dabs?
12:22
This is a photo.
12:24
I will tell you I'll give you one clue
12:26
for those of you guessing here or at
12:28
home. This is somewhere at the
12:30
Disneyland Resort.
12:32
And I want you to be specific. Let me
12:35
know where you think exactly in the area
12:37
this was taken. Uh yes,
12:39
>> [laughter]
12:39
>> Mikey. Just just throw out things to
12:42
entertain you, Mikey. It'll be great.
12:44
Um
12:45
There is a chance you might get this
12:46
one. I don't know. Like you never know.
12:48
[clears throat]
12:49
Um do you have a guess, Katie?
12:51
Uh no, but
12:53
I will
12:54
>> [laughter]
12:55
>> I'm going to say the Enchanted Tiki Room
12:58
Plaza. Okay. Like that waiting area.
13:02
Okay. Um and I want to say it's one of
13:04
the Tiki gods. I could be so incredibly
13:07
>> good guess. It's not. That's
13:09
>> that's a really bad guess. I don't know
13:11
what to to say which way you want to go
13:13
with this.
13:13
>> Yeah. Okay, that's that's
13:14
>> I I don't know That's a really guess.
13:17
How's that?
13:18
>> [laughter]
13:21
>> That's a really guess. Do you like the
13:22
little logo I added at the top that says
13:24
where's Mr. Dabs?
13:25
>> good. And and yeah, I thought that was
13:27
fun. All right, I'm not seeing any
13:28
guesses in the chat, but they they have
13:30
to be coming. Maybe it's a lag thing. I
13:32
don't know.
13:33
>> You have to get Oh, here we go.
13:35
Treehouse somewhere. That's a good
13:37
Enchanted Tiki So there's two for
13:38
Enchanted Tiki. In fact, we will say
13:40
three for Enchanted which really is
13:43
Yeah, three cuz that's yours.
13:44
And treehouse somewhere.
13:47
Itsy, do you have a guess or is what
13:49
your guess? Um
13:51
>> [clears throat]
13:51
>> cuz that's a guess also. Uh
13:54
Adventureland Jungle Cruise stroller
13:56
parking. That's another very good guess
13:58
from multiple people.
14:00
>> What if none of us are even in the right
14:01
land?
14:02
It's carved wood. It's made of wood.
14:05
It's made of Frontierland.
14:07
>> Frontierland.
14:09
>> that? All right, are you ready to see
14:10
where this actually is?
14:12
Yes.
14:14
This is in front of
14:15
>> What the heck? If you look at the bottom
14:17
of the totem pole. So you guys were
14:19
actually all on the right track with the
14:21
carved like totem pole thing going on.
14:24
But it's it's the very bottom of the
14:28
of the totem pole in front of that.
14:29
>> gosh. So when I just made the joke of
14:31
haha what what we're all in the wrong
14:32
land. We were in the wrong park.
14:35
>> You're in the wrong Nobody was even
14:36
close. All right, here's here's the next
14:37
one. Are we ready? No, I don't think so.
14:39
Okay, certainly a guess.
14:42
There we go. And let's hit the right
14:44
button. There we go. Where's Mr. Dabs?
14:50
>> [laughter]
14:54
>> I wish everybody had seen Katie's face.
14:58
>> [laughter]
15:03
>> Once again, I did not think this was
15:05
that hard.
15:06
>> Dude, I don't think you can play
15:07
[laughter] this game any Like I don't
15:08
think you can lead this game anymore.
15:10
This is
15:13
Um oh my god. I don't
15:18
I can't even [snorts] begin to fathom.
15:21
Yeah, Chris. Apparently this was easier.
15:25
I think this man is a monster.
15:28
You know why I'm gun-shy though, right?
15:30
I did this on Instagram.
15:32
>> this on Instagram. People would And
15:33
people would be like in two seconds this
15:34
this and this.
15:36
>> [laughter]
15:39
[gasps]
15:40
>> Mr. Dabs too is always in my mind and
15:42
spirit.
15:44
Uh The map of the upcoming grassland.
15:48
Yeah, that's a guess. Um All right,
15:50
what's your guess? Just throw them out
15:51
there.
15:51
>> guacamole, dude.
15:53
>> on from this one apparently. What is
15:55
wrong with you?
15:57
Uh

I honestly thought this one you were
15:59
going to get right away.
16:03
Well, great. The
16:04
I will tell you this. We walk by it all
16:06
the time.
16:08
>> [snorts]
16:09
>> I was going to say DCA 1.0 bathrooms in
16:11
the front of California Adventure on
16:13
Buena Vista Street, but I
16:17
The mural behind that place where you
16:19
Yeah. No, different place.
16:21
>> buy oranges from across. Oh, it by
16:24
Schmoozies is what I think Bailey's
16:26
saying.
16:27
Tom Sawyer Islands for Cassie.
16:29
Disney World's Animal Kingdom map
16:32
says DVR01.
16:35
Uh mosaic in Hollywood Land says Chris.
16:39
And then the map of upcoming grasslands.
16:41
All right, you want to guess?
16:42
>> feels like it's Schmoozies.
16:43
>> your guess?
16:43
>> That's my guess that it's Schmoozies.
16:45
You were actually heading in the right
16:46
direction before. Dang it. See, we walk
16:50
we walked there.
16:51
>> Where is that? That's the entrance of
16:53
Five and Dime.
16:53
>> is where is the picture that you took?
16:56
Oh, it's right in the very middle. It's
16:57
the middle uh
16:59
square.
17:02
How on earth do you think I would get
17:04
that?
17:05
>> Cuz we walk by it all the time. I don't
17:06
know. I walk by a lot of things all the
17:07
time. All right, this one. Maybe this
17:09
one will be easier. Snoopy's home. There
17:10
we go.
17:11
Uh
17:12
where's Mr. Dabs?
17:15
This one I know Steven would get if he
17:17
was watching in in like a half a second.
17:24
>> [laughter]
17:25
>> You guys this this man cannot be
17:28
serious. I kind of I'm starting to think
17:30
that this is like an elaborate like
17:32
>> [laughter]
17:33
>> That would be funny. No, I I feel like
17:36
maybe I feel like I'm being Truman
17:38
showed a little bit too much, but I feel
17:40
like everybody's in on this and that
17:41
everybody's like, "Haha." Katie doesn't
17:44
know where this is.
17:45
>> look at the colors. I'm looking at them.
17:47
That's the problem.
17:48
>> they remind you of?
17:50
There's only one place in the resort
17:53
you're going to find this. It reminds me
17:55
of corn. Okay, that's not that far off.
18:00
Bountiful Valley Farms? No, this is
18:02
something you can see today.
18:04
Bountiful Valley You kind of can. Well,
18:06
kind of. But this is something you can
18:08
walk by today very easily.
18:10
>> [snorts]
18:14
>> I hear rain. Uh New Orleans Square, deep
18:16
in the Amazon rainforest, Animal
18:19
Kingdom. Oh my god.
18:21
Um
18:25
Like what do those colors remind you
18:27
of? Like from a Disney character or a
18:29
movie or
18:31
Oh, is this uh Tiana's Bayou Adventure?
18:33
Is this like the mural by the entrance?
18:37
Is that your guess? That's my guess.
18:38
>> Okay, there's your guess. Okay.
18:40
>> [snorts]
18:40
>> Do we get everybody?
18:41
>> It is really starting to actually come
18:43
down outside.
18:45
>> All right, this one
18:47
is actually
18:49
Do we get everybody? I think we got
18:50
everybody.
18:51
Yeah, we'll go
18:52
I didn't see Chris answer, but
18:55
or
18:56
Mom.
18:58
That's true. Well, Chris might be busy
18:59
now, who knows. All right, well this one
19:01
is actually
19:03
close to Tiana's Bayou Adventure.
19:08
No?
19:10
Kind of close, sure. I I think that's a
19:12
good guess.
19:14
All right, last There's two more.
19:16
>> Yeah. I do think he should There's two
19:18
more? Yep. All right, where's this one?
19:22
>> [snorts]
19:24
>> Where's Mr. Dabs?
19:25
>> Now I feel like
19:27
Oh, Chris has just stumped. I feel like
19:29
you're just going to like a junkyard and
19:31
taking photos. I don't believe that this
19:33
is
19:35
Um
19:35
>> You're on the right track with what
19:36
you're thinking.
19:38
You're a monster.
19:40
What do you mean?
19:42
Uh Mater's Junkyard Jamboree then.
19:45
Okay.
19:46
That's a guess.
19:50
Me and Tom Nook I'm going to take Tom
19:52
Nook and we're not going to play this
19:53
game anymore.
19:54
I'm kidding, we're still going to play.
19:56
We like games.
19:56
>> a clue for this one?
19:58
It reminds me of the Muppet Vision 3D Q,
20:00
but continue.
20:01
>> Do you want Here's the clue I'm going to
20:02
give.
20:03
This is near a character meet and greet.
20:08
Ah, brother.
20:08
>> Like literally, I had a character just
20:11
to the right of me as I took this
20:12
picture.
20:15
And it's a like this character is there
20:18
all the time.
20:19
Like this is their spot.
20:24
This game makes me feel like I've never
20:25
been to Disneyland before.
20:28
Well, you've been missing a lot lately,
20:29
so maybe that's part [laughter] of it.
20:34
Uh Cars Land, another Cars Land,
20:36
Galaxy's Edge, uh Star Tours,
20:40
and Radiator Springs.
20:43
>> Um I'm going to say
20:45
uh
20:45
hm I will go with anybody gets the land
20:48
right.
20:48
>> I'm going to go hm with this one.
20:52
>> [snorts]
20:52
>> I was going to say the X-Wing at
20:54
Galaxy's Edge where Rey and Chewbacca
20:56
meet.
21:00
All right, you want to know what it is?
21:03
>> [sighs]
21:04
>> I do. The colors I thought gave it away.
21:08
Dude, what the heck?
21:10
Just to my right
21:11
>> was Spider-Man.
21:13
>> [laughter]
21:14
>> who was very confused when I walked up
21:16
and took a picture of that and not him.
21:20
Dude, what the heck? Was that crazy or
21:22
was that good?
21:23
>> crazy. I also feel like Mr. Dav should
21:25
put these on Instagram and see how fast
21:27
people get them.
21:28
>> that's a good idea. We'll put them on
21:29
the Geekstergram. That's That's actually
21:30
a very fun idea. All right, last one.
21:32
Uh [snorts] it's Nemo, but I don't know
21:34
where it
21:34
>> That is correct.
21:36
Yeah, but I still don't know where Nemo
21:37
is.
21:37
>> Okay.
21:39
Uh in the big blue world.
21:44
Uh
21:50
Hm.
21:52
Where is Nemo?
21:55
>> [laughter]
21:56
>> Maybe you should find him.
21:58
>> that.
22:00
Your son Chico?
22:02
Nemo.
22:04
Um
22:07
Where is Nemo?
22:11
In color.
22:13
The good news is we're probably not
22:14
going to do another one of these for
22:15
like a month or two, so
22:16
>> I'm going to say Finding Nemo Submarine
22:19
Voyage
22:20
somewhere. Okay. So, Tomorrowland you're
22:23
saying? It's not
22:24
>> It's not Nemo.
22:25
>> [laughter]
22:25
>> It's Nemo's dad. Oh, it's Marlin.
22:30
How would you know it's Marlin?
22:31
>> need to find him then, huh?
22:33
Crush. No. Submarine.
22:37
Also, it's the fact that it took me a
22:38
really long time to get out of the
22:39
animation building and remember that
22:41
there isn't a Finding Nemo attraction.
22:46
I forgot when I was trying to make
22:48
guesses. I forgot for a very long period
22:50
of time that there was a Finding Nemo
22:51
attraction.
22:52
>> Got it. Got it.
22:53
I also hope that
22:55
Inshallah they find him.
22:58
All right, you ready for the answer? Uh
23:01
yeah. Okay. This one.
23:05
No.
23:07
What the heck? Across from Starbucks.
23:09
>> And it actually was if Nemo is on the
23:11
left, it was Nemo cuz
23:14
that that's the one I took the picture
23:15
of cuz there was a couple taking a
23:17
picture to my right. So, you had to get
23:19
a little creative with some of these on
23:20
where you could actually take pictures.
23:22
But um
23:23
that was our game. Wow, guys, great
23:26
work. We all went zero. Yeah, I'm going
23:30
to
23:31
make that I don't
23:33
It's easier today, guys. I
23:35
uh pretty sure it is.
23:36
>> I thought it was, but anyway.
23:39
Uh D23 is coming up very soon. In fact,
23:42
it is on August 14th, 15th, and 16th and
23:45
tickets will be on sale in just a couple
23:47
of days on April 2nd. I suppose that's
23:50
cuz they didn't want it to be like an
23:51
April Fools' joke if things went wrong.
23:53
>> Yeah.
23:53
>> I mean, I wonder if that was partially
23:56
um decided that way. Anyway,
23:59
April or August 14th, 15th, 16th,
24:01
tickets are going on on on sale on April
24:03
2nd. Here are your options. You can go
24:06
anywhere from $49 for an afternoon that
24:09
starts
24:10
Well, you can get into the park after
24:12
4:00 and just do an evening, which is
24:14
actually pretty cool cuz they're
24:15
extending the hours to 8:00 this year.
24:17
And
24:19
then you can like come after work or
24:21
something.
24:22
>> Yeah. Um then there's the fan day pass
24:23
for just the Anaheim Convention Center,
24:25
which is also what that $49 one is and
24:27
that's $99. There's the uh three-day fan
24:30
day pass, which is $297. So, that's
24:32
three days at the Anaheim Convention
24:34
Center. And then there's the ultimate
24:35
fan pass for Friday, Saturday, and
24:38
Sunday. Each of those are $99 and you
24:40
can go to Anaheim Convention Center. And
24:42
then also, you're right, it's the
24:43
ultimate fan event. And And then you can
24:45
also go to the Honda Center for the
24:48
evening showcase, which is always a huge
24:51
show and amazing and lots That's where a
24:53
lot of the big news comes from. Then, if
24:56
that's not good enough for you, you can
24:57
get the ultimate fan pass. That's a
24:59
three-day fan pass that gets you into
25:01
the Anaheim Convention Center and the
25:03
Honda Center um all three days. And then
25:07
if you really want to go crazy and you
25:08
want to be able to sit on the ground in
25:10
the middle like right there where it
25:13
says 100, there is this wonderful
25:16
uh D23 ultimate preferred fan pass
25:20
that starts at $12.99
25:23
and goes up to $25.99.
25:25
Depending on what row you want.
25:26
>> Depending on where you want to sit. And
25:29
uh it it's it's going to be a hectic
25:31
morning on Thursday when sales or when
25:35
tickets go on sale. So, if you want to
25:38
do that,
25:39
be ready, be patient.
25:42
Like it's it's completely random. Like
25:45
you can get into the queue beforehand
25:48
and then it just mixes them up at 10:00
25:50
when it opens. If you're a gold member,
25:52
cuz you can only buy tickets if you're a
25:53
gold member. If you're a complimentary
25:56
gold member, that's at 12:00 on
25:57
Thursday. So, any of us with D20 or D23
26:01
Disney Plus D23 gold memberships, that's
26:04
at noon. The paid gold memberships start
26:07
at 10:00. Pipe down, you're speaking too
26:10
loudly.
26:10
>> later we'll get to apply for media.
26:13
>> [laughter]
26:13
>> And uh we'll have that stressful like,
26:15
oh, I hope we get in. Um
26:18
every year, it's great. But what do you
26:21
think about
26:22
this process here? What do you think
26:23
first off of the the evening pass or the
26:27
the afternoon thing?
26:28
>> I think that's great. I think there's a
26:29
lot of people that want to attend D23
26:32
and they cannot because of scheduling
26:34
conflicts or like oh, I have other
26:37
responsibilities or school or kids or
26:40
what have you.
26:41
Um and I think it's a really great way
26:42
for people to still get to experience
26:44
the event and like the vibes and the
26:46
excitement. Um and I I think it's a
26:50
reasonable price as well. And not get
26:53
completely tired out. Yeah, cuz like
26:56
it's a long day going from 9:00 a.m.
26:58
till 10:00 at night each day and then
27:01
you know, covering it and all that
27:02
stuff. Yes. It's exhausting. It's great
27:06
though. It's It's a blast.
27:07
>> It's a fun time.
27:08
>> It's It's thousands of your favorite
27:10
Disney friends all in one place
27:12
celebrating the same thing that we all
27:14
love. Getting to see what Imagineering
27:16
is bring Like I'm looking forward to
27:18
seeing
27:19
like I I kind of am guessing that the
27:22
the you know how there's the models
27:24
every year?
27:24
>> Mhm. Like Piston Peak makes so much
27:26
sense to me. Like I can imagine that. I
27:29
could imagine there being something for
27:30
the Coco attraction.
27:31
>> I was going to say I hope we get some
27:32
Disneyland fireworks.
27:33
>> we get an announcement on when exactly
27:36
the expansion for Avengers Campus is
27:37
opening. You Maybe we'll get a another
27:41
um
27:42
another
27:43
uh
27:44
model of what Pandora's going to be on
27:48
West Coast Pandora so here in
27:50
California. But you're Like there's
27:51
going to be a lot to see. I think it's
27:52
going to be a blast. And And then
27:53
there's always the floor panel show
27:55
things that are a lot of fun as well.
27:57
So, we'll be covering a lot of that. And
27:59
yeah, we're going to celebrate
28:00
handwiches. I think they do that in
28:01
Florida, actually. I've I've heard of an
28:03
event that does that.
28:05
But uh it'll be a blast. We will also
28:07
get a look somewhere around here at the
28:10
uh the Disney Legends this year. Mhm.
28:13
And as you look at this list really
28:16
quick,
28:16
>> Mhm. who are you most excited about?
28:19
Uh
28:21
honestly, Kem Irvine.
28:23
>> I was going to say Kem Irvine jumps out
28:25
at me. Eric Goldberg jumps out at me. Uh
28:28
Lin-Manuel Miranda is going to be fun.
28:29
And Alan Tudyk. Like I feel like he's
28:31
kind of the unsung hero of a lot of of
28:34
films and that will be fun to see as
28:36
well. Um the interesting thing's going
28:38
to be with all of this
28:40
is like even Susan Egan there. Like you
28:42
immediately go, oh, so they're going to
28:44
perform So I Won't Say I'm in Love.
28:46
>> Yeah. But if you recall, it's probably
28:48
going to be like Miley Cyrus where yes,
28:50
someone will will perform that. Maybe
28:53
they'll bring the the person over from
28:54
Broadway in Actually, the way to do it
28:57
is you bring the person over from
28:58
Broadway in in London and then you bring
29:01
the person from Is it Disney Destiny
29:03
that has the cruise? And you have all of
29:04
the Megaras singing it for her.
29:07
>> Oh, yeah. And um like there there's
29:09
options. You could do that. But I think
29:11
it'll be a lot of fun. Um Dwayne Johnson
29:13
makes ton of sense this year. Jonas
29:16
Brothers make a lot of sense. Like I
29:17
feel like they've kind of gotten to that
29:19
point where that makes sense. Um Bob
29:22
Iger, I think is is a just deserved
29:25
Yeah.
29:26
>> honor. Um I would like to see Michael
29:27
Eisner get one, too, before he's gone.
29:30
Anne Hathaway's great. Jerry
29:32
Bruckheimer, obviously, Pirates,
29:34
everything. Like
29:35
What hasn't he done? And then Chris
29:37
Berman, too, for uh for ESPN, I think.
29:40
And um clearly, he's he's the one we
29:42
Yeah. Buddy. He's not on MLB TV, I'm
29:45
sorry.
29:45
>> Yeah, I'm sorry. But if this was Aaron
29:46
Goldsmith from MLB TV, we'd be
29:48
>> Then we're there. Like We'd be cheering
29:50
front
29:51
>> All about it. Yeah. Ryan Goldsmith would
29:53
be there. I do like though, I feel like
29:55
it's a fairly diverse group. Like it's
29:58
it's not
29:59
There's nobody in here where I'm like
30:01
eh.
30:03
And and they it's nobody that's just
30:05
like blatantly like let's just throw
30:06
them a bone. Mhm. Like and I don't think
30:08
they usually do that but um but all of
30:11
them are like okay, you've definitely
30:14
made a contribution to the Walt Disney
30:16
Company.
30:17
I will say this was also very exciting
30:19
to tie back back to the beginning.
30:21
Um being in a a very large crowd of
30:23
Disney fans at Savannah Bananas Day at
30:25
Disneyland when this was announced. Very
30:28
fun.
30:29
>> [laughter]
30:29
>> Cuz everybody's like
30:31
oh yeah.
30:31
>> Yeah, everybody was super excited.
30:33
Everybody was, you know, all of a sudden
30:36
you could hear people being like Jonas
30:38
Brothers Jonas Brothers or Bob Iger or
30:40
like there was a lot of really fun
30:42
chatter. Um and that's
30:44
like uh a minor scale of the fun and the
30:48
excitement of D23. So.
30:50
>> Yeah. And and I will say the community
30:52
of D23 is one of its best assets and
30:55
that's in so many different ways. Like
30:57
there's the people that go to all of the
30:59
the events that we see when we go up and
31:01
we're covering them. There's also the
31:03
media crew like there's a
31:05
a group of media that covers most D23
31:08
things and it's always fun to kind of
31:10
have that little family reunion with all
31:12
of them.
31:13
There's the D23 team themselves which
31:15
they're all fantastic like I I was
31:18
standing up at the Legends Plaza on
31:20
Thursday while you were at Savannah
31:22
Bananas Day thinking how cool is this
31:25
that up there somewhere is Josh
31:27
D'Amaro's office as he's over in Paris
31:29
hanging out with the president of
31:31
France. And
31:32
>> [laughter]
31:33
>> And a laugh. But like
31:35
up there's that. We've got Asad Ayaz
31:36
here. We've got Michael
31:38
uh Vargo here. We've got uh
31:41
Jodi Benson there like
31:42
Crazy.
31:43
>> All of these people just, you know,
31:44
intermingling with each other and and
31:46
then you've got all of the rest of the
31:47
the D23 team that's just fantastic as
31:50
well and uh so it's going to be a
31:51
special year. I think it'll be a great
31:53
thing and I am curious how many hours it
31:55
will take to sell out cuz last year
31:57
wasn't it by I feel like early afternoon
32:00
cuz I was
32:01
or 2 years ago. Remember I was tracking
32:03
it and it was like mid-afternoon or
32:05
something like basically everything but
32:07
two were gone and they were the the on
32:09
the floor $2,500 things whatever.
32:12
Anyway, it'll be a blast. Uh we'll we'll
32:14
keep coverage of that and we'll see how
32:16
Thursday goes. It'll be definitely an
32:19
adventure. But now it is time for
32:26
Comments comments.
32:33
That is right. It is time What? So what
32:35
if that's how we ended the show?
32:36
>> Oh yeah. Bye.
32:38
>> April Fools?
32:39
>> Yeah, we we have a different camera
32:41
setup tonight and apparently that one
32:42
did not update. But uh we will zip
32:45
through the comments really quickly and
32:47
if you want to chat more we will be on
32:49
Daps After Dark on Daps Magic HQ and I
32:53
have an idea for that. So I will be
32:54
bringing that up during Daps HQ tonight.
32:57
I don't like the picture.
32:58
>> After Dark whatever. All right, as I'm
33:00
going through feel free to leave us
33:02
another comment or three as we uh scroll
33:05
through these pretty quickly. When the
33:06
Muppet Show could one day perform its
33:08
very first Christmas special on
33:09
Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, which
33:11
celebrity would be perfect as its guest
33:12
star for the new
33:14
for the new show. Who would you like to
33:15
see do a Christmas special with the
33:17
Muppets today?
33:19
Uh
33:20
I think that's that's how I read the
33:22
question at least.
33:23
Uh
33:26
Trying to think who's very Christmasy.
33:28
Mariah Carey.
33:30
Uh I mean that that would work.
33:31
[clears throat]
33:32
I could see it. I think she kind of is a
33:33
Muppet.
33:35
Okay. So I would like to see Mariah
33:37
Carey. Okay.
33:39
Do All I Want for Christmas Is You with
33:42
Miss Piggy.
33:45
There you go.
33:46
Um this this might be just
33:49
because he's becoming a Disney Legend
33:51
but I actually think Dwayne Johnson
33:53
would be hilarious.
33:55
Like Sure. Cuz remember him in the Tooth
33:58
Fairy? Yes, I do.
33:59
>> really good with kids. Mhm. Which means
34:02
he's really good with Muppets I think.
34:04
It's true. And I just could see that
34:06
being very very funny. Uh my second
34:09
choice would be Harrison Ford.
34:10
Um Oh, good choice.
34:12
>> Yeah.
34:14
Uh
34:15
There's guesses.
34:17
Uh which actors actresses would you have
34:19
perfect the
34:20
one day starring in a live action
34:21
Treasure Planet? I don't know.
34:23
>> sit that out because I've never seen
34:25
Treasure Planet at all. Okay, we'll
34:27
we'll have to revisit that one. Uh will
34:29
Kermit or any of the Muppets show up at
34:30
D23?
34:32
I don't know if it'll be for for meet
34:34
and greets but I could imagine the
34:35
Muppets being at D23 this year. I feel
34:38
like
34:38
>> favorite D23 memories of all time was
34:41
for uh the Electric Mayhem
34:44
uh or Muppet Mayhem which we have the
34:46
record for around here. Um that went off
34:50
the walls and it was so fun. That's
34:53
genuinely like Animal running around the
34:56
show floor.
34:58
I actually referenced that in the Daps
35:00
Magic Disney and Positive Stuff podcast
35:03
that was the ultimate guide for D23. So
35:06
if you haven't listened or watched that
35:07
yet, check it out. You don't want to
35:08
miss that. Uh if Disney World or
35:10
Disneyland could one day be built in
35:12
England, which part of the country would
35:14
it be built in what? Uh that will be
35:15
their new Frozen Kingdom and uh
35:18
northern.
35:20
Uh what will Disneyland and Walt Disney
35:21
World eventually be like by their
35:22
upcoming trends within 2050? I have no
35:25
clue. So
35:26
uh
35:27
they tend to like to
35:29
to plan things out pretty far. So I
35:31
think it'll be more immersive, more
35:33
technologically advanced, more magic and
35:36
uh it'll blow our minds.
35:38
Uh any predictions for what will be
35:39
announced at D23?
35:41
I think
35:42
I wouldn't be surprised if we find out
35:44
more about the new classes of ship for
35:46
the Disney Cruise Line that are smaller.
35:48
I can imagine finding out what the next
35:50
phase of Disneyland for Disneyland
35:53
Forward is going to be. I think that
35:54
would be very possible. I could imagine
35:57
an expansion at Walt Disney World of
35:58
resorts, maybe not parks but like
36:02
we're building more capacity in our
36:04
parks. Let's build more capacity in our
36:06
hotels.
36:06
>> And we're not just adding capacity by
36:08
one.
36:08
>> Yeah. I I think we could see that. Um I
36:12
think there's a possibility that you
36:15
could see either a park expansion
36:17
overseas announced again the likes of
36:20
World of Frozen, Disney Adventure World,
36:22
all of that stuff which we could also
36:24
get for Disneyland I think. Like that's
36:26
a possibility. I think there's also an
36:28
outside chance that you might get a
36:30
another park announcement but I don't
36:32
know. Those are all just off the top of
36:34
my head and uh and I I haven't thought
36:36
this through it all yet but you never
36:39
know. It's always possible. Anything's
36:40
possible at Disney and and then we'll
36:42
get movie announcements too. Like I
36:44
would assume we'll get more uh
36:46
I I'm going to guess we get a
36:47
Starfighter Star Wars Starfighter
36:49
trailer maybe. That'd be fun. Um I could
36:52
see us getting a
36:55
uh I'm forgetting the name of it but the
36:56
Pixar that looks like it's hand drawn
36:58
with the cat. Is it Gato?
37:00
>> Yeah. Mhm. I got it. Um I got Gato. Uh
37:04
but
37:05
yeah, I could imagine those kind of
37:07
things coming out too and uh
37:10
yeah, those are just off top of my head.
37:11
Do you want to add anything? Uh
37:14
Disneyland Forward for sure.
37:15
>> Mhm. Uh maybe some more Doomsday stuff.
37:20
Oh yeah, I could see that. I could I
37:21
could see that happening.
37:23
Um I really hope that we uh get told
37:26
that the Muppets is doing six seasons
37:28
and a movie.
37:30
That would be I would anything Muppets
37:32
be great.
37:33
>> Please, I want
37:35
I
37:36
>> Muppets in Disneyland Forward. An entire
37:39
Muppet Land with not one but two
37:42
attractions. All right, we are running
37:44
out of time. We got to get ready for
37:45
