0:00.0	Well, yeah, I'm, I bonus edition of the DCL duo podcast.
0:30.0	And we couldn't get enough of Seth Kobersky this week.
0:33.5	So he was our guest on the main show where we talked all about what it's like to visit Universal and Walt Disney World right now during the COVID reopening period for those parks.
0:43.6	But we wanted to keep the conversation going with Seth.
0:46.0	So let me start by saying, Seth, welcome back to the show.
0:49.6	Hi, Brian.
0:50.3	Hi, Sam.

1:45.3	It does surprise me a little that it's happening with the timing it is because we've got Brightline,
1:51.1	which is going to be a new rail service that's going to take people directly from the airport
1:55.2	to Disney Springs. But that doesn't look like that's going to open late 22, 23 maybe. So it looks like there's going to be
2:02.8	about a year gap between the end of Magical Express and the beginning of this new service.
