| 0:00.0 | We felt like we were in a parade because we were walking down the middle of Main Street. |
| 0:04.0 | And they were saying, welcome back. |
| 0:05.9 | We're so glad you're here. |
| 0:16.8 | Welcome back, everyone, to another bonus edition of the DCL duo. And as with past bonus editions, |
| 0:23.4 | here recently, we've been talking to folks who have spent some time down at the resorts during |
| 0:27.7 | COVID period and after the resorts have opened. Tonight, we have a guest on who actually |
| 0:33.7 | was able to spend some time at Disney World and Hilton Head. We'll get into both. |
| 0:38.0 | But at Disney World, after the parks had reopened. And so we haven't had anyone talked to us yet about sort of the parks apart from the hotels. And so I wanted to have Janelle on. Welcome, Janelle. Thank you for having me. No, thank you for being here. This is great. Why don't we dive right in? I know you started your trip by |
| 0:55.8 | heading over to Hilton Head, I think, on the 5th of July. Why don't we start there? What was it like |
| 1:02.1 | over at the Hilton Head Resort? Hilton Head is great. This is our second time staying at the Disney |
| 1:06.9 | property at Hilton Head, and we really, really enjoyed everything. We had a two-bedroom villa |

| 1:16.6 | checked in. It was just great. Check-in was a little different there because they don't have the |
| 1:20.8 | My Disney Experience app, so they just requested that one person go up to the lobby to check in rather |
| 1:26.3 | than your whole party. They did require |
| 1:28.4 | mask on property everywhere and they did enforce it. Even if you were walking, we saw a couple |
| 1:34.4 | walking ahead of us far away and there was no one around and a cast member walked by and she asked |
| 1:39.7 | them to pull their mask up. So they were definitely enforcing everything there. And did you see, |
| 1:45.1 | I mean, we've heard about some of the lobbies. They had plexiglass up and that kind of stuff. |
| 1:48.9 | Is it the similar at the headman? Yeah, they had plexiglass up there. And a few things had changed in the |
| 1:54.9 | lobby. That's where they had a storyteller. We show up, his name's blue with the shadow, the dog. |
| 2:00.3 | And so, you know, the resort offerings were definitely trimmed back. And I could notice that just because we've been there before. But I don't know if you, if this was your first time, I don't know if you would really notice. What were some of the resort offerings that were that were trimmed back?
