Welcome to Universal Joint Podcast. I'm entertainment writer Jim Hill and my co-host

Dustin Fuse and I are recording this podcast on Sunday November 15th

2020 and Dustin that kind of makes me sad because a year ago today we were kicking off our universal Christmas event at Cabana Bay.

We had that dinner with the event attendees at Bayliner Diner, and then you were the smart one.

You took the group, you know, the people who didn't want to go on the the walking tour of the holiday

decorations at what we went to uh what is it a Royal Pacific and then continue to the convention center did sapphire Falls and wound up at the aventura

And we met up with your part of the group back at Sapphire Falls and then went to the

Aventura and then went up to the rooftop bar the what is it called the

bar bistro bar 17 bistro and yeah it was it was a little cold it was like it was very cold you know and in

in fact in hindsight you know the the when we took when I took the group along the walkway over to

you know the real Pacific first of all I got to say I was ridiculously

impressed with Sharon Scooter, you know, the fact that the battery

on that thing just kept going and going and going.

By the way, Sharon, hello to you in the hoodlums and honestly if things had gone

differently this year you and I would be at Disney Springs right now are you me

and Shelley via do lead we would have from which she does the I want that podcast with me and we would have been doing the Disney Springs thing.

You know Tammy Whiting and her team at Storybook Destinations would have done the usual great job with the back end and you and I would well you were going to lead a what was it a scavenger hunt trivia contests around Disney Springs and I was going to tell the story of

the Lake Point of Vista shopping village and Pleasure Island and never built stuff like

the New Orleans Square at Lake Buena Vista or for that matter the people

mover and the monorail system that was supposed to bring guests over from Epcot right to

the shopping village but okay but instead we're stuck at home in

55 degree weather in torrential downpours. So welcome to 2020.
