Welcome back to another edition of the Disney Dish Podcast with Jim Hill. It's me Lantesta and as you guys look at your window today, you will notice all kinds of rain. It being April, as they say, April showers bring Mayflowers, but of course, Mayflowers lead to June

Bumblebees and eventually to September, which is spider season. It just goes to show that nature is kind of a jerk sometimes. To talk more about this, let's bring in our own, Marlin Perkins. One Mr. Jim Hill. Jim, how's it going?

I thought you were going another way with this Lynn. I'm sitting here in my pilgrim outfit I mean

the April showers bring may flowers I got a hat with a buckle hang on hang on I

got to get my beekeeping it's fall jib it's fall we're. Okay, okay, let me get my beekeeper outfit on hang on hang on okay. Yes animals this is what we love about the change of season. Yes animals and I ate a lot of them over the weekend. I would like to talk about that. But first James, I think every meeting should begin with a round of self-congratulations. So let's start our call today with some self-congratulations. Disney recently announced that soon you'll be able to unlock your hotel room doors

with your cell phone.

We talked about this many months ago, didn't we?

Yeah, we did, we did. Also, did you see the thing about they're going to start doing the autonomous driving car tests on Disney property shortly?

Starting with cast members? No, when did that come out? That was just last week.

I feel bad for the Disney cast members because they're the folks who

were going to do the initial test with these things and then

provided the test goes well.

This then becomes available to guests staying at the resort and it

supposedly supplements the minivans at least for a time so yeah we called two of

them Len that's good yay for us I knew that the LA Times had reported last year that they were considering doing it, but now you're saying that they've

Followed up on that with a specific timeline. Yeah, I'm blanking the specifics of the article, but I guess two of the companies that create these

vehicles, you know, one of them spilled at some sort of event that they had landed the Disney

contract and then had to try to walk it back.

Oof!

Good luck with that.

I think that's a fantastic idea.

If there are any guest members that are listening to get to productivity, please let us know what it's like. We will promise not to use your name or anything like that.
