kind of like our own personal home videos, but we are, you know, publishing them for everyone to see.

Welcome back to the DCL Duo podcast. We're recording our podcasts today over Memorial Day weekend. And right now,

there's a bunch of folks who've been posting photos and such out there running the quarantine

key 5K for Memorial Day weekend. It's being hosted by a lot of great podcasts and vlogs out in the

Disney community. And one of those co-sponsors of the race is the Mouse Gen vlog. And so we're

excited to have Lake and Katie from the Mouse Gen vlog on the show tonight. Welcome, Lake and Katie.

Yay. Thank you guys. We're happy to be here. Yeah, thanks for coming you guys. Yeah, we're excited to have you. We always like to start our shows with sort of your Disney background. And so can you guys walk us through sort of, you know, what your connection back to Disney is, you know, visiting the parks or cruise line, that sort of thing?

We know a little bit about you from watching the vlog, but educate our listeners on what your Disney background is. Yeah. So I think we were both kind of brought into the Disney world

culture from young ages. I'm from Pennsylvania. So that meant taking yearly trips down to Disney World with my family.

And I was actually born in Winter Park just outside of Orlando and kind of had those

formative childhood years in Disney before moving away. And then I brought myself back for college.

When you guys live close to the parks now, it sort of seems like

or at least a few hours away, right? We're about 45 minutes. So it's really not bad at all.

That's great. That's great. So you have to be annual pass holders, I'm assuming at this point.

Yes. Yes. We are. And they're looking so happy sitting unused in our wallets right now. At, at least they're getting extended, right? I mean, that's, hopefully we'll all have a chance to use them a little bit more again. Well, I'm curious, we wanted to talk a little bit about the vlog, but I'm curious, like, how you two met up and then we would get into the decision around how you decided to do a vlog about Disney. But how did you two meet up?

Well, we met in college, and it's a whole long story that I won't go into.

But Lake ended up at my apartment during college looking for somewhere to cook some food.

And we later had our first argument, which was literally who knew more about Disney.

This is true.

Yes.

And then, you know, probably a year or two later, we actually, you know, started our relationship and Disney has always been a part of it.

It was our first date, most of our dates, really.
