Alicea: 0:16

Hello everyone. I'm Alicea.

Nathan: 0:25

And I'm Nathan.

Alicea: 0:26

Welcome to episode 200 of Adventures and Mouscapades. Oh my gosh. Sorry.

Nathan: 0:36

Starting this one off with a bang.

Alicea: 0:37

Oh yeah.

Nathan: 0:39

Alicea did some co-pilot work here. Um, this says, uh, welcome back to Adventures and Mascapades, where every story is sprinkled with pixie dust, and every episode is a journey into the heart of Disney magic. Wow.

Alicea: 0:54

Disney copy right there.

Nathan: 0:56

Yeah, exactly. Well, Alicea, what are we talking about today?

Alicea: 1:00

Well, today's episode is extra special because we are celebrating 200 episodes.

Nathan: 1:06

Good grief.

Alicea: 1:06

That is 200 stories, 200 laughs, or maybe a little more.

Nathan: 1:11

A few more.

Alicea: 1:11

200 moments of magic shared with you, our incredible listeners. Whether you've been with us since the beginning or just hopped on board the monorail now, we are so glad that you are here.

Nathan: 1:22

So grab your Mickey ears, maybe uh a churro or a dole whip, and let's take a stroll down memory lane, peek behind the curtain, and dream about what's next. After all, this is Adventures and Mouscapades episode 200. Celebration of magic, milestones, and mouse capades, and other things that begin with the letter M.

Alicea: 1:45

Mmm.

Nathan: 1:45

Mmm.

Alicea: 1:47

Most definitely.

Nathan: 1:48

Most definitely. Well, before we get too far into this, I also want to take just a half a second and acknowledge that this is the first time that we have recorded an episode for like our mainline feed, like in real time in like almost three months. Because Alicea went off and decided to go have uh open heart surgery.

Alicea: 2:12

I decided to, yeah. It was

Nathan: 2:14

okay. Needed to have open heart surgery.

Alicea: 2:17

There we go.

Nathan: 2:18

There we go. Um back at the end of August. And so we had banked a whole bunch of episodes leading up to that. And uh we are back. We are live. It is Friday, October 24th at 6.20 p.m. As I spout these words into a microphone and they're captured digitally and then recorded, and then I'll edit it later, and then it'll go up on Monday. Anyway, welcome back, Alicea.

Alicea: 2:43

Thank you. I didn't go very far.

Nathan: 2:45

Okay, fair enough.

Alicea: 2:47

I've been here the whole time.

Nathan: 2:50

I see what you did there, Sam Reich. Anyway, it's good to be back in the groove. Um, I'm glad you are doing so incredibly well. And uh let's do an episode, shall we?

Alicea: 3:03

All right.

Nathan: 3:03

All right, where do you want to start this?

Alicea: 3:06

Origin story. The origin story.

Nathan: 3:10

Once upon a time.

Alicea: 3:12

Once upon a podcast.

Nathan: 3:14

Ah, I see what you did there.

Alicea: 3:16

It all started with a microphone, a dream, and a deep love for Disney storytelling.

Nathan: 3:20

Oh God, you've got to get off the co-pilot crack.

Alicea: 3:26

How did this start?

Nathan: 3:28

Um, we kept having all of these conversations about what was going on in the wonderful world of Disney. And you and you said, we should just record these and do a podcast. And I said, okay, and proceeded to go buy some microphones and a podcast recorder and talk to some friends who are uh uh music engineers and figure out how the heck to do this. And yeah, uh all almost four years later, here we are.

Alicea: 4:00

Yeah, it was it was all to um help with your tech obsession.

Nathan: 4:05

That's right. I needed more excuses to buy more gadgets. So for that, I thank you. Mission accomplished. Have all the gadgets.

Alicea: 4:17

I think we weren't exactly sure entirely what we would do. Like we knew we'd do trip reports, like we'd go through a back catalog and figure maybe that's it. We'll just go through our trips.

Nathan: 4:27

Yeah.

Alicea: 4:28

We've done a lot of that.

Nathan: 4:29

We have. Yeah. Uh I remember thinking, oh no, we're gonna run out of uh trip reports. We better figure out something else to do with this show. And quickly that pivoted into when the heck are we gonna have time to finish all of our old trip reports? Yeah. I think it took us like two and a half, almost three years to get through all of our back catalog of uh of travel. So we we did we did pretty good coming up with some other ideas and things to talk about.

Alicea: 4:59

Yeah. I mean, we've navigated the ever-changing Disney landscape of terminology. Yeah. Fastpass to Genie Plus to Lightning Lane. Yeah. Yeah.

Nathan: 5:12

We've talked about Bob and then we talked about Bob replacing Bob. And now we're talking about a post-Bob era that sh seems to be coming soon.

Alicea: 5:21

It should be.

Nathan: 5:22

It's gonna come eventually. Yeah. By the way, we're we're talking about the CEO. We went from Iger to Chapek to Iger again, and now we're looking at Josh question mark.

Alicea: 5:34

I don't know.

Nathan: 5:35

We'll see.

Alicea: 5:35

There's a couple different options.

Nathan: 5:37

Indeed, there are.

Alicea: 5:38

Obviously.

Nathan: 5:38

I mean, yeah. Yeah.

Alicea: 5:40

One of the biggest lessons learned. I can't keep my volume consistent. That's the biggest lesson learned.

Nathan: 5:50

Um

Alicea: 5:51

that is a point of contention for you, my dear.

Nathan: 5:55

I I love you.

Alicea: 5:56

I love you too.

Nathan: 5:58

Wait, can you say that a little louder?

Alicea: 6:02

No.

Nathan: 6:03

No, okay, great. Um for me, I think it is continually how long it takes to put an episode together after we've recorded it. And that is simply a matter of me being a wee little bit of a perfectionist and not knowing when to say when. And so I will start on an edit and I will trim ums and pauses and all sorts of things and try to strike a balance between making it seem conversational versus just letting it naturally flow, which is going to have some ums and some weird pauses. For every hour that we record, it is a good two to three of me sitting with my computer and working on it to get that episode finalized and then figuring out what we're gonna do for uh the episode picture, putting a YouTube video together and all the rest of that stuff. Like it just takes time. I think the the best way I could I could uh encapsulate all this is you and I were talking a little while ago. I think this was right after your surgery, and we were all back home. And Sterling, uh, our son, for those who are new, he's 14. Uh, his computer uh and his uh that he uses to do some schoolwork and let's just be honest and play a couple games here and there, was just running dog slow. And I thought to myself, and I think I said to you, like, maybe I should just give him my desktop because it's not like I'm using that anymore, and it's a pretty decent gaming machine. Now it's you know almost six years old now, but it's still a really good computer, should be great for that stuff. And you said, Well, what's the downside? I was like, Well, no real downside. Like, I don't play flight simulator stuff anymore. And you said, Well, why don't you do flight stuff anymore? I was like, Well, because you had a great idea of starting a podcast, that's where all my free time went.

Alicea: 8:02

As I see all your flight simulator stuff behind you there.

Nathan: 8:05

Oh, I I haven't given it up. It's just I I haven't played it. I still have all the hardware. It looks great on the shelf. Yes, it does. Um thankfully I have dust covers for everything. But it takes more time. But it's fine. I it's a good thing. I love I love all the stories we get to tell. I love the amazing people we've met. Yeah. It's yeah, it's pretty incredible.

Alicea: 8:32

I think the biggest lesson learned for me is I love doing this very much. And every once in a while I think about why don't we do like video or something like that or vlogging? And I'm like, well, we're good at talking if we have a script in front of us.

Nathan: 8:51

Yeah.

Alicea: 8:52

But all the vloggers are very much narrating their lives, and we do not do that. We do not.

Nathan: 8:58

We do not do that.

Alicea: 8:59

I am not a great conversationalist, and here we are walking over to Frontierland. No, I can't do that. I'm just like, I'm just gonna walk. We'll just go there.

Nathan: 9:11

Yeah, I I don't want to necessarily uh talk about how amazing this piece of chicken or something like that looks from some food booth at Food and Wine Festival and talk about all the different flavors. I just want to go like, oh, that's pretty. Man, it tastes great too. All right, next. Yes, like that is not gonna be compelling on YouTube. No, no.

Alicea: 9:34

And we've had our our um discussions on food before and and talking about it. And I'm my descriptions are crap. It's like it tastes really good. It's it's um it's juicy, it's it's tasty, it's I would get this again. That is my that is my descriptions.

Nathan: 9:54

Yeah, so uh, you know, our our our podcast episodes, they are on YouTube, but it's just a static image because there's a lot of folks who listen to podcasts on YouTube. So we are trying to be available wherever uh your podcasts are sold? Sure, we'll go with that. What have you kind of discovered, Alicea? Like what's one thing that you've, you know, you talked about a like a lesson learned, but what's a a surprising thing that you've learned about, you know, this process or other people or Disney Ana or maybe even just yourself? Like what's surprising you?

Alicea: 10:35

I'm crap at social media.

Nathan: 10:39

Wow. You can try to be positive.

Alicea: 10:42

No, no, no, no, no. I just I know I am. Like I have all these grand designs of what I want to do, and I just cannot pull the trigger on it, and just I'm I'm not good at that portion of it. I'm fine with talking with folks and and speaking about things, but the other parts of it, I'm just I'm not. And I wish I was. I wish, I wish I could just go and do like a post a day or something like that. I'm just I don't know how to do it.

Nathan: 11:12

The number of times that we have started a social media calendar, yeah, and then that's gone out the window within a couple, two, three weeks is hilarious.

Alicea: 11:23

Yeah. Just getting all the content together and figure figuring out what to do.

Nathan: 11:29

Yeah.

Alicea: 11:30

Like we have all these wonderful little videos and photos and stuff that we do. And I don't know, I guess I could just post pictures. That's something at least. But I feel like it needs to be more. Maybe it doesn't need to be more. I don't know.

Nathan: 11:46

I don't think it needs to be a lot more.

Alicea: 11:49

Yeah.

Nathan: 11:49

But I encourage you to keep trying.

Alicea: 11:52

I think the problem is I'm not good at it, like making it look pretty, and that bothers the heck out of me because I can tell you if something looks good or does not look good. But getting myself to make it look good, um I can't seem to do that. I do not have uh the creative knowledge to do it, but I definitely have opinions on if it looks good or not.

Nathan: 12:18

You have a vision, but you don't know how to execute.

Alicea: 12:20

Yes. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Nathan: 12:21

Keep trying. You'll get there. You'll get there. But for me, I've discovered that reaching out to somebody and saying, Hey, I have this podcast. Would you be interested in talking with us? Opens so many doors and is such a great crowbar to not just open a conversation with a stranger, but open a conversation with a stranger from the position of us being relative introverts. It's really, really amazing. I there are so many guests that we've had on that I am just flabbergasted that we've had had on. Yeah. And there's no way you couldn't just go broach and have a conversation with some of these folks without having at least something to rely on. Yeah. Because they're not gonna it's not that they're mean or don't care, it's just they're busy. So it's been a really amazing framework. I I yeah, I I've loved that. And I've been very surprised at how I don't want to sound like I'm tooting my own horn, but like I actually like it. Like I've really enjoyed getting to know lots of different people in all of the interviews, and yeah, it's it's uh I'm kind of proud of myself.

Alicea: 13:44

Yeah, we're yeah. I mean, we've we've cold contacted a couple of folks and had people come on, and it's just amazing that we get to do that.

Nathan: 13:56

Yeah.

Alicea: 13:56

And that and that they'll talk to us. There's been some that haven't panned out, unfortunately, but that's okay too.

Nathan: 14:06

Yeah. We've still tried.

Alicea: 14:08

Oh yeah.

Nathan: 14:08

Yeah. Joe Roadie, we're still ready and available if you ever get the moment.

Alicea: 14:14

I haven't reached out directly to him.

Nathan: 14:16

We did talk to him in person.

Alicea: 14:17

We did. We gave him our card, but but actually contacting him, I haven't done that.

Nathan: 14:22

The time may have passed.

Alicea: 14:24

Because yes, I'm sure it has. I don't know his stuff, his uh email, sorry.

Nathan: 14:28

He's on Instagram.

Alicea: 14:30

Yes, he is.

Nathan: 14:34

Do you have any highlights from the past 199 episodes that stick out in your brain?

Alicea: 14:42

I really like talking with other podcasters. I think that is really fun. Uh just hearing their stories and their trips and and how they see things or or their experiences, I should say.

Nathan: 14:57

Yeah.

Alicea: 14:57

Um, and it it may sound weird, but they know how to talk. And sometimes it goes a little more smoothly that way.

Nathan: 15:08

It does make a little bit of a difference uh with some people that they're just more comfortable talking.

Alicea: 15:16

Not not to say that folks that don't do podcasts are not good guests, because they definitely are. But no, I think it's it's fun just talking with with folks that are are doing the same type of thing that we are, you know. What about you? Is there anything that stands out in in your mind?

Nathan: 15:36

Um I'm I'm scrolling back through kind of our episode list here. I think talking to Rob Lott was amazing. The um uh Disney performer, well, not just Disney, but like he his take on life in general is fantastic. With you, like the the talking with all of the other podcasters that we've gotten a chance to talk to has just been absolutely fantastic. It has given us a whole new uh just a perspective on on what we're doing when we're in the parks or when we're on a cruise. We're paying more attention to things. Um I I I really love that perspective, and it doesn't really feel like a job. It does sometimes if we've let our schedule get away from us, and I'm yeah, you know, we're having to record and then edit and do everything on like a Sunday afternoon to get everything posted by uh by midnight. Uh that sometimes I question our choices. Um, you know, I I don't know how people who put multiple episodes out a week do it uh and still have other full-time jobs. That's insane to me.

Alicea: 16:53

I I can tell you.

Nathan: 16:54

Yeah, they hire out.

Alicea: 16:55

They hire out, they have a set schedule, and they don't edit.

Nathan: 17:00

Yeah. Um that's that's that's not gonna happen. That's not gonna happen. We don't we're still really small.

Alicea: 17:12

Oh, yeah.

Nathan: 17:13

You know, we'll get a few hundred downloads a week. There's a lot of folks who who join and then go through back catalog and stuff like that. So, you know, if I look at the last few, you know, like couple months of episodes, you know, we're a hundred to two hundred range, somewhere in there uh of downloads per episode. So it's not like a ton of people. And therefore, you know, it's not that we need a revenue stream, but if I'm gonna hire out, I need a revenue stream to I don't think we need to hire out. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. Um, no, you don't think we need to hire out. I just need to do nothing else other than podcast and work. No, but I think the episode that I'm perhaps most proud of is the one that we did about a week and a half after you had surgery. How you shared your perspectives and your your outlook on everything, and you shared what was going on from the heart. And I hope that that can really help other people who may be going through similar things, you know, an aortic aneurysm or really any kind of open heart surgery or or major surgery of any kind. Like you have such a great perspective on things, and I loved that episode. I think it was a great chance to connect on special. And I think my dad we we had my dad on too a couple summers ago, and that was fantastic. Yeah, um, but honestly, like all of our guests have been fantastic.

Alicea: 18:55

Yes. We've had about 45 different guests on the show.

Nathan: 19:00

Yeah.

Alicea: 19:00

And I think seven or eight of them have been repeat guests. But yeah, that's that's pretty good. Yeah. I love talking with folks about their experiences, about their trips, about um their thoughts and dreams, and and anything Disney in some epic universe, too. Yeah. You said you had some stats in front of you.

Nathan: 19:23

Yeah, I do.

Alicea: 19:24

What are our most downloaded episodes, most listened to episodes?

Nathan: 19:29

We evidently are the source, and this is this goes true on on our our direct downloads and on YouTube too. By far our most popular episode is 172, our DVC resort review of Alani. Oh, like we have over 300 episodes or 300 downloads of that, and I want to say it's I don't know, there's it's like a hundred download or a hundred views or something like that on YouTube. Again, we're small potatoes, folks. Yes. Um our um our total cumulative downloads is creeping up on 18,000. Um, just for uh comparison, uh, I know DCL Duo is about a year-ish older than us in terms of their podcast. Um, they do multiple episodes a week. Yes. And they have a sponsorship from a travel agency. So there's a lot of stuff going through, but they're fantastic and they get themselves out there and they do a bunch of stuff. Yeah. And Brian quipped, I don't know, I want to say it was a month or so ago that they're closing in on a million total downloads. So, like, just perspective, everybody. Like, we are small potatoes. Um, uh, you know, I always we always joked when we first started. It was like, hi, mom. Um, yeah, you know, it's it's moms and cousins at this point and some friends, but you know, we're not huge, but that's okay. That's that's not where what we're in here to do.

Alicea: 21:02

There's others. It's not just it's not just family.

Nathan: 21:05

Yes, exactly. Exactly. Uh so Al Lani uh resort review is big. The second spot is tied uh 186, the Disney Wonder of Alaska, which was a fairly recent episode with Amy, who's one of our listeners. Hi, Amy. Hi, yeah, uh that is episode 186, and it is it is tied for second place with 195 downloads, and that one just came out um what, a couple months ago. So, like it's it's pretty recent. And then we also have our big D23 recap show from last year, uh last summer with Scott Gustin is is also there tied for second place. So uh, and then our uh episode 59 about Plan Disney with Amy Adams, uh not that Amy Adams, the other Amy Adams. Uh the one we're yeah, Plan Disney is Amy Adams, not not the Disney actress Amy Adams. Although they're very similar, I've never seen the two of them in the same room at the same time. So you never know. Uh uh that one's up there. And then our first episode on the Disney treasure um is is up there as well. So I will say that over half, 52% of all of our listeners are listening on Apple Podcasts, and then 14% is on Overcast, and just eight percent is on Spotify, which is interesting. I have heard Spotify was a much bigger thing, but oh, it it it is it well, at least for us, it's not as huge. Uh Amazon music is up there, and then uh just listening on our webpage is is up there too. So um yeah, hello, fellow iPhone users. I mean, because overcast is only on iPhones. So between Oh really? Yeah. So it's 52% on directly on Apple Podcasts and 14% on Overcast. Uh so that's m Math 66% is is um yeah, is is on the the Apple ecosystem. So um uh welcome, blue bubble family.

Alicea: 23:14

There you go. How do we plan episodes? Kind of go go behind the mouse capades here.

Nathan: 23:21

Oh boy. Uh we meeny miny mo. Yeah, we spin the wheel. Um we come up with ideas. We have a big backlog of of just show ideas, of of people we've talked to, folks that we want to reach out to. Uh we use a um kind of a project planning tool called Trello. It has a bunch of cards on what it calls boards. Think of these as big columns, and we just throw all of our ideas into the first column, which is aptly named ideas. I know we're original. And then once we kind of bubble that out of the ideation phase, yes, big PME word there, uh, it goes into the coming soon category, which basically means it's uh going to be in fruition. This is our plan of what we're gonna be doing. Then we'll have in production, that is stuff that has been recorded and needs me to go edit it and and all sorts of stuff. And then we have done. And that that is fairly self-descriptive, I think. Yes. But yeah, we have all sorts of ideas that we both come up with, and lots of people that we want to get interviews with or have says said they're interested. And um, yeah, we'll we'll get around. We have uh a couple folks who are we are hot on their heels and uh trying to get them on. Some have had some some blocking issues uh with being allowed to come on a podcast, but we're working through those. And uh I don't know what you wanted me to say here. We just we just plan, we come up with ideas.

Alicea: 25:00

Come up with ideas. We always talk about our trips that we're going on or that we have recently gone on, and we always like to talk to you all too. We like to hear about your trips.

Nathan: 25:10

Absolutely.

Alicea: 25:10

So if you have any recent, let us know. We'd love to chat with you on how it went.

Nathan: 25:15

Yeah. Yeah. We occasionally it had been quarterly. I think we've missed one or two, but we'll do uh uh what we call our our quarterly news reviews, quarter or qdr's quarterly Disney review, uh just kind of recapping what's been going on in the the house of mouse. You know, we've we've loved keeping up with Scott Gustin, especially around the D23s and talking about what's going on there. Uh, if you don't follow Scott, uh he's primarily on Twitter, although he does cross post over on threads every once in a while, too. Uh, just a fantastic, very well-grounded, very well sourced uh news source for what's going on uh from Disney. And we have lots of current and former cast members that we want to go talk to and show ideas on, you know, not just our own trips, but other people's trips. We'll put pins into things like uh a specific event is happening, and so we'll put a date in there. We know we want to talk about that. But yeah, we just kind of wing it to a certain degree.

Alicea: 26:24

We do a bit, we do a bit of everything. We do some planning, there's spontaneity, there's it's all over the place. It's like a regular Disney trip.

Nathan: 26:32

Yeah. And then when it comes down to doing interviews, um, we've recently started to um to have Copilot help us out a little bit in terms of coming up with questions. And I will say they have been very well aligned to the stuff that we have been asking anyway. It and of course we add to it. We kind of have a format we want to take a template out.

Alicea: 26:58

Yeah, we could put a template, say here's what we have.

Nathan: 27:01

Right. Well, and we also will just add and and tweak as needed because we know we want to start off with what's your Disney background and kind of give people context of what we're talking about and then dive in. If it's a trip report, oftentimes we'll go kind of chronologically through that trip. If it's somebody's first time being on the podcast, uh Alicea is going to grill them with her uh Disney faves and torture test. And you know, it's a little bit templatized, but I think that structure helps guide the conversation. And one thing that we always talk to whoever we're interviewing is say, hey, this is this is an informal conversation. Yes, we have some questions written out that we want to get to, but the order that we get to them in is kind of up to the flow of the conversation. It helps us not let the conversation die uh or or get stagnant or or kind of go too far off the rails. But um, we're also uh very happy to go off those rails and take tangents wherever uh wherever they fit in.

Alicea: 28:09

So what's next?

Nathan: 28:12

Um that's a great question. Um, this is the last thing and coming soon. So I have no idea what we're doing next week yet.

Alicea: 28:21

No, no, no, no, no. I didn't mean I meant for the future.

Nathan: 28:30

The future. More of the same. I mean, in a good way. I love that we're still doing our DVC resort reviews. We have several of those that we still want to do. We have some kind of formats that we have started to do. Like, hey, let's design kind of games, if you will. Like, what's our perfect day at this park or that park? Or uh we did the golden tickets. We have another uh run through the golden tickets that we want to do and kind of up the ante, if you will, and try to make that much more difficult on ourselves to figure out what we would choose. And hopefully you guys uh at home or in your car or wherever you're listening to this, enjoy those kind of things. And uh we have trip reports, we've got a cruise ourselves coming up here in uh just a few weeks in uh mid-November. We've got another cruise uh that we're taking Sterling on this time in February over the midwinter break. We have a trip to Anaheim coming up in April for spring break, and Sterling has uh an event down there as well. And then we've got a big family trip once the kids are both out of uh of school or be eighth grade or college uh in June. And uh we're going to Florida and can't wait to see all of our friends down there and do some time in the parks. We have just an incredible opportunity to Have the Fourth of July spent at the Polynesian in a bungalow. Yep. Um, and and that is that is the 250th anniversary of the United States. Yep. And uh that will be a fireworks show for the ages. Uh we will have lots of our friends over and and family as well. Uh, we are very excited about that. We're also squeezing a cruise in on the brand new Disney Destiny that will be our going out in just a couple of weeks here. Yeah, exactly. Uh, but that'll be our first time on the Destiny, and we're we happened to snag the time worked out for a uh a seven-night itinerary on there. The Destiny's primarily doing, I think, fours and fives or fives and sixes or something like that.

Alicea: 30:46
