0:00.0	Welcome back to another edition of Disney Dish. It's me Jim Hill, and I'm doing this week's show
0:05.1	solo, because Len is on a boat somewhere. That's literally all the information I have folks,
0:10.8	as we were wrapping up recording last week's edition of Disney Dish. Mr. Test turned to me and said,
0:16.0	you're going to need to do next week's show all by yourself, because I'm going to be on a boat.
0:20.5	Mind you, this boat could be the Disney Dish, it could also be a kayak that Len just taking to
0:25.1	Quincy or Nyak. I'm not working with a whole lot of information here. All I know is that Mr.
0:30.2	Testo will be back next week sometime, and at that time he can hopefully bring us all up to speed

1:08.3	is being brought to you by Storybook Destinations, trusted travel partner of the Disney Dish.
1:14.3	For a worry-free travel experience, every time please book online at StorybookDestinations.com.
1:21.2	Okay, Len likes to begin every episode of Disney Dish with a hearty round of self-congratulations.
1:26.8	I believe it's more appropriate to begin a show with a humble apology, which when I actually
1:32.2	think about it, clearly delineates Mr. Testo's worldview from my own take on the universe.
1:38.0	On our last show, I was telling a story about how at one point in the late 1980s, early 1990s,
1:43.6	Sir Andrew Lloyd Weber was working on a new nighttime show for the Walt Disney World Resort,
1:49.6	one that was supposed to be presented nightly, out on Crescent Lake, that's that waterway
1:54.0	that separates Disney's boardwalk from the On Beach Club. Well, as long-time Disney Dish listener
