I miss ...

That feeling when you walked into that lobby of the Grand Floridian was the coolest feeling in the whole entire world.
15:51
You had an orchestra, and they're playing music, and the lobby's beautiful to begin with.
15:56
But that orchestra took things to a whole new level, and it just made everything so special and so cool, and you can't tell me that there's any other reason they did it other than money.
16:08
That's it.
16:08
People love it.

Darrick, do you have vegetables on your list anywhere?
17:25
Derek, what is your, uh, bucket list DVC vacation?
17:30
Yeah.
17:31
This was a good one.
17:32
So, um, I was gonna go originally with the bungalow, like Jeff said, at the, the Poly.
17:38
Um, but then the more I thought about it and the more I talked with my smarter, better half, Annie, um, we decided that if someone else is going to foot the bill, and as we've never even been to this resort, but if we're gonna go with our family of four, uh, that we will pick the Grand Villa at Aulani.
17:56
That is what we're picking for a bucket trip, just because, A, we've never been.
18:01
Uh, we've been to Maui, but we've never been to Hawaii, so we've never seen the resort Aulani.
