0:00

I have pressed the magic button you pressed

0:02

the button .

0:02

Now we're using your list or my list .

0:04

We should start with . I don't know .

0:06

You can do the introduction this time .

0:08

Oh , I've got to do the introduction .

0:09

Yes , you can .

0:10

So today , ladies and gentlemen , welcome to the

0:12

Addicted to Disney podcast . Today

0:16

, we're going to talk about something that is

0:18

very close to Kazzy's heart , because

0:20

she's doing it all the time , and

0:22

that is Disney collectibles

0:24

. What are you on about

0:26

? What do you mean ? What am I on ? About I don't collect too much two-thirds

0:29

of our luggage coming back from any trip is

0:31

full of things that kaz is quote

0:34

collecting unquote that's

0:36

why I take half empty suitcases exactly

0:39

so . It's like I get two pairs of pants

0:41

and a t-shirt and I come back with two

0:43

pairs of pants and nine t-shirts eight

0:45

of I come back with two pairs of pants and nine t-shirts . Eight of them all fit cats . So

0:47

what are we going to start with ? We're going to start with your favourite , I think

0:50

.

0:50

My favourite .

0:51

Yeah , lounge fly bags .

0:52

Lounge fly bags . Okay , Now

0:57

, I hadn't actually planned to start collecting lounge fly bags .

0:58

That's what she says .

1:00

No , I hadn't . Honestly , I hadn't actually planned to start collecting lounge

1:02

light bags , because initially I couldn't

1:04

see the appeal of them . And then I got

1:07

my first one . I was like , yeah , these are quite

1:09

nice . I was like , well

1:11

, that's a summer one

1:13

, so Halloween's coming . Oh , I'll get

1:15

a Halloween one . Oh , I like

1:17

that Halloween one . That's quite sweet . So then

1:19

I bought a Christmas one , and then

1:21

I started seeing character ones

1:24

and park specific ones and

1:26

um , so what is the definition of a lounge

1:28

fly bag ? lounge fly . Lounge

1:31

fly is a brand , and what

1:33

they are for me is they are small backpack

1:36

style handbags that you'll

1:38

probably quite often see people wearing around the parks

1:40

, and they're lightweight , they're

1:42

comfortable to wear and they're just really

1:44

nice . And to me it's my bag

1:47

, it's my park bag true

1:49

, I do sometimes get to stick stuff in it yes

1:51

, oh , are you

1:53

taking a bag today ? Good , can you put that in there for

1:55

me ?

1:55

yes , yeah , basically she has a bag

1:57

for for every day , and sometimes

2:00

one for the evening as well , because we're going to go and

2:02

see some particular character and it's like , oh

2:04

, I'm going to bring the winnie the pooh bag with me I

2:06

might have the odd one or two when I go

2:08

that sort of well , that's my general

2:10

park bag and , okay , we've got a special event

2:12

.

2:12

So that's that park bag . And on

2:15

the recent trip which was our cruise it's close

2:17

above I've got one for going into the park

2:19

, I've got one for going on the cruise and I've got one for

2:21

matching my outfit , and then

2:23

another two accidentally fell in the suitcase yeah

2:26

, and then we get into the big discussion about I'm

2:28

only going to buy one .

2:30

So she then goes and buys a larger lounge

2:32

fly bag and denies that it

2:34

is a lounge fly bag oh

2:36

, I know which one you're on about .

2:38

Are you on about my cruise ship rucksack

2:40

?

2:41

bag . Yes , the definition of a

2:43

lounge fly bag . Now , ladies , and bear

2:45

with me here , as far as I'm concerned

2:47

, there's two requirements for a lounge

2:49

fly bag . One , it has to

2:51

be made by lounge fly , which is quite obvious . Two

2:54

, it has to be a bag , and

2:56

to me , a bag is a receptacle

2:59

for carrying things . Therefore , the

3:01

one that goes on your back and the one that goes

3:04

over your shoulder that are made by

3:06

lounge fly are both lounge

3:09

fly bags . I hope

3:11

you agree with me .

3:12

If you don't agree with me , please don't write

3:14

in , because nobody's worried

3:16

about it really what this

3:18

boils down to is on

3:20

our second cruise a

3:22

couple of years ago , I went into the shop

3:25

and I spotted a really nice lounge

3:27

fly branded and I'm gonna stick to

3:29

that lounge fly branded it's a lounge fly

3:31

bag rucksack bag which

3:33

was going to be ideal for using as a port bag

3:36

because it had internal zips , it

3:38

was waterproof and it was bigger than

3:40

a standard lounge fly backpack . Now

3:42

, the lounge fly backpacks are actually quite

3:44

small and generally have a big internal

3:47

pocket and a front zip pocket and two

3:49

little side pockets . But this one is actually

3:51

. It's the size of a rucksack but it's

3:54

got lounge fly on it .

3:55

It's a lounge fly bag .

3:56

He's convinced it's a lounge fly bag .

3:58

I don't need to be convinced . It is a lounge fly bag

4:00

.

4:00

But yeah , I do do the rule that I'm only

4:02

going to buy one and then I do the

4:04

, but you can always buy one as

4:06

well .

4:07

Yeah , she uses that trick . So , guys

4:09

or girls

4:12

, when your partner says I'm only going to buy

4:14

one , but I really like that one over there

4:16

, what that actually means is you

4:18

can buy it for me and therefore I've only bought

4:20

one , because you bought the other one , or two or

4:22

three , or four . It doesn't stop . It

4:24

goes on forever , and every single

4:27

time you go to a park , every single

4:29

time you go to a cruise , there

4:31

is another lounge fly bag , because

4:33

they shell them out like eggs

4:35

. Every week there's new lounge

4:38

fly bags .

4:39

And I will point out , I'm not the only one

4:41

to have a lounge fly bag , am I ?

4:43

That's not a lounge fly bag .

4:45

Yes , it is is . Does it say lounge , fly on it ? Is

4:47

it a bag ? It lights up do

4:49

you put things in it ?

4:51

yeah it's a lounge fly bag then okay

4:53

, yes , I bought a tron lounge fly bag , but it wasn't

4:55

one of those silly little backpack ones . This one's

4:57

a it's a crossbody it's a crossbody

4:59

, more manly style , and

5:02

it lights up when it's drawn . It's quite good .

5:03

And I won't mention that Loungefly Do is .

5:05

Let's not even go there , and Purses . Let's

5:08

not even go there , because if you realise , if you mention

5:10

Purses , you then have to mention the other company

5:12

. Are you being doonies ? Yeah , and

5:15

by the way , just to demonstrate how bad this

5:17

actually gets , when we buy

5:19

things now just in the house or

5:27

just for ourselves , we now count them in lounge fly bags . Lounge fly bags for us is almost a currency

5:29

now , so it's like oh , that's a hundred pound , well , that's one and a half lounge fly bags it's

5:33

a bit like you and your gadgets and goosebumps

5:35

.

5:35

How much was that ? Oh , that was pounds

5:38

. Oh , that's free land flies in . And

5:40

then he goes and buys himself a camera

5:42

bag . And I ask him okay , that's

5:44

a really nice camera bag . And the

5:47

comment was it's the same price as

5:49

a dooney . Now , if you know what dooney bags

5:51

are , dooney bags are very expensive

5:53

, very nice , they are made of leather , but

5:55

so is my camera bag but I prefer

5:58

my loungewear bags yeah , dooney bags are very

6:00

expensive , I do . I do prefer my loungewear bags

6:02

. And a top tip they make very

6:04

good packing cubes for in your suitcase so

6:07

you can carry more of them exactly .

6:09

Okay , you mentioned ears ears

6:12

, yes . If you've ever been

6:15

to a disney park or any disney

6:17

event , or even these days , walking

6:19

down the street , one thing you're going to see

6:21

is kids and

6:24

adults wearing mickey mouse

6:26

ears . Now you'd think that Barryman , mickey

6:28

Mouse , is a mouse

6:30

with black ears , that Mickey Mouse ears

6:32

would just be black ears that go onto

6:34

a headband . No , you're wrong . There

6:36

are thousands and thousands and

6:38

thousands , and as we publish

6:41

this there'll be another thousand out there of

6:43

Mickey Mouse ears . You can go to any store

6:45

in any Disney environment

6:48

and they will be hundreds of

6:50

different ears . And again , they change every

6:52

five minutes . So guess what ? Kaz

6:54

collects them . So how many

6:56

Mickey Mouse ears do you think you

6:58

have ?

6:59

I actually counted them .

7:01

Oh , God , please no .

7:02

How many ? Come on tell .

7:04

I'm sitting down .

7:05

How much does one lounge player cost ?

7:07

I'm not worried about the cost at the moment

7:09

. How many disney ears do you

7:11

have ?

7:12

uh , not quite three digits . I

7:15

think I've got about 50 pairs

7:18

, maybe 60 but you've only

7:20

got one head yeah , and you

7:22

have to coordinate your ears to your

7:24

outfit and your bag . So so if

7:26

, say , you're going to a restaurant

7:29

on the cruise and the theme

7:31

is , say , arendelle , you

7:33

have to have frozen ears , frozen

7:36

bag and a frozen

7:38

inspired outfit . If you're going to the park

7:41

and it's Halloween , you have to have Halloween

7:43

ears , halloween T-shirts , halloween

7:45

pack bags . If you're going to a celebration

7:48

event , then you have to have halloween ears , halloween t-shirts , halloween packbacks

7:50

. If you're going to a celebration event , then you have to have ears that

7:52

match . They form part of an outfit . And okay , I

7:54

admit I take six or seven pairs

7:56

with me whenever I go on an average disney trip . I

7:59

like to be different . I don't like being seen out . Oh

8:01

, she's got the same ears on she's

8:04

got the same ears . I must admit

8:06

, you don't often see people with the same ears you

8:08

do if they've only got one pair , and I will point out

8:10

90 of my ears are official disney

8:13

ears . You can get ears from other

8:15

high street retail shops , not mentioning

8:17

their names , but most of my ears are

8:19

official disney ears and some of my

8:21

ears are also made by non-fly which means they're

8:23

even more expensive . Yeah , and , and the ears are also collectible , asounfly

8:25

, which means they're even more expensive . Yeah , and the ears are also collectible as

8:27

well . There are some really lovely ones . I've

8:30

got some that light up . I've got

8:32

some that have

8:34

a swap your bow , which is basically I've got

8:36

a black headband and

8:38

this one black headband suddenly turns into

8:40

six or seven different

8:42

ears because I've got different

8:44

bows that I can swap over . So I

8:46

like my ears . I actually feel naked

8:49

when I'm not wearing them .

8:51

She has even been known to wear them at work

8:53

.

8:53

Yep , and at home and when I'm doing a lot of my editing

8:55

on YouTube , I even have to wear themed

8:58

ears , depending on what video I'm doing . So if

9:00

it's cruise-specific videos , it's cruise ears

9:02

. If it's theme park ears , it's theme park

9:04

ears . So

9:08

where's the best place to buy ears ? Best place to buy ears are in the parks themselves

9:11

, because they do have the widest range

9:13

. Some of the larger shops , like Emporium

9:15

that you find on Main Street , world of Disney

9:17

that you find in the Disney Village or

9:20

in Disney Springs , some of the other

9:22

shops within the parks , like if you want a specific

9:25

style of ear , if , say

9:27

, you're looking for Marvel ears and

9:29

Avengers Campus in Disneyland Paris , or if you

9:31

want something personalised in

9:33

Walt Disney World , they actually have a shop

9:35

where you can buy what they call an ear hat

9:37

. It's actually a hat with Mickey Mouse ears and

9:40

you can have it embroidered so you can actually have your name

9:42

put on it .

9:43

Yeah , that doesn't class as ears .

9:47

It is , that's a hat , it is no it's a hat it's a ear , hat it's a

9:49

hat , but mr disney has got a thing about

9:51

me wearing ears because if

9:53

she's wearing them , I don't have to and also

9:55

, if you haven't heard our podcast about characters

9:58

, mr disney did have an encounter with

10:00

olaf , where olaf laughed at

10:02

him in my disney years .

10:03

I'm saying nothing .

10:04

I deny everything although I do

10:06

occasionally say to him just try this on for five

10:08

minutes and grab the picture of him here and there

10:10

.

10:10

It never happens . This does no

10:13

, this does . So what's these ears

10:15

that you keep going on about ?

10:16

Oh , the rather expensive ears . When

10:19

Disney had its 50th

10:21

anniversary and walked Disney World , they brought

10:23

out a crystallized

10:26

set of disney ears . Now

10:28

, they were absolutely stunning

10:31

, and I mean absolutely stunning

10:33

as they were so pretty and shiny

10:36

. I do like shiny things and if you , if

10:38

you like anything with crystals on , you'll know exactly

10:40

what I mean in this case of crystallized

10:42

items . Look great they . They were really , really pretty

10:45

. But to give you an idea how expensive

10:47

they were , they actually had to have them in a glass

10:49

displayed cabinet and

10:52

they had a rather large price

10:54

tag .

10:55

Which was .

10:56

The first pair I looked at were $550

10:59

, which were really nice . The

11:02

next ones I looked at were $650

11:04

, which were okay , and

11:07

then the set I looked at in Disneyland Paris were

11:09

€350 .

11:11

$650 or €350

11:13

for a pair of Disney ears .

11:15

Yeah , a crystal Disney

11:18

ears to celebrate anniversary .

11:19

No she's looking at me across the studio , going

11:22

you could buy them for me and I could then talk about them

11:24

, and the answer's no , no , no , no and

11:26

no no there has just been a

11:28

released set of ears in

11:30

Walt Disney World by Dooney and Burke

11:32

, which are really , really , really nice .

11:35

Um , but they're 275 dollars

11:37

.

11:38

Dooney and Burke ears now . So these are the

11:40

same company that make Dooney bags yeah , yes

11:42

, I'm not buying either . Good , nor

11:45

am I . Anyway , let's get

11:47

to something collectible that's slightly cheaper

11:50

Pins , pins

11:53

, pins , basil .

11:54

Pins yes

11:56

, disney pins . Disney

11:58

have got an enormous and

12:00

I mean enormous range of enamel

12:03

pin badges . Basically , these are metallic pins , metallic badges

12:05

which are a bit of Disney characters . Range of enamel pin badges . Basically these are

12:07

metallic pins , metallic badges which are a bit of Disney characters , disney

12:09

park icons , disney logos

12:12

, with a , a pin which basically has a spiky

12:14

pin that you can then wear on a lanyard and

12:16

then you can wear them around the parks

12:18

. I might just happen to have

12:21

a few .

12:22

How many is a few ?

12:23

I'm not telling you .

12:24

Go and tell .

12:25

About 350 . I'm

12:27

saying nothing , but

12:30

they are collectible . They do do

12:32

different ones . They do do seasonal

12:35

ones . They do Christmas ones , valentine's ones , easter ones . They do do seasonal ones . They

12:37

do christmas ones , valentine's ones , easter ones . They do do seasonals

12:39

. They do do celebration

12:42

event ones . So they were the 50th anniversary

12:44

ones for walt disney world , there was the 30th

12:46

anniversary ones for disneyland paris

12:48

and they do do what they call

12:51

limited editions , but they only make

12:53

so many of them and they are collected items

12:55

and they're just really great

12:57

, it's lovely and , yeah , I

12:59

like collecting them so when you have

13:02

these , what do you do with them ? you build up a collection

13:04

, but you can also go pin trading . Now

13:06

, pin trading is something that you

13:08

hear a lot about on various

13:11

pin forums you might be on

13:13

. Basically , with pin trading , you meet up

13:15

with a person or a group of people and you

13:17

look at what pins they've got that they don't

13:19

want to have keep anymore and what you've

13:21

got , especially if you've got duplicates which I

13:23

do have a couple of duplicates which are part

13:25

of what I call my traders and you

13:27

can swap . The general rule is you try

13:30

to swap for the same level pin . So

13:32

if you've got a pin , say , worth seven

13:35

dollars , you want to swap it for a seven dollar one . You don't

13:37

want to swap a ten dollar pin for a six dollar

13:40

pin because it it doesn't really work out

13:42

like that . But with the main rule with pin

13:44

trading , especially if you're going to pin trade with cast

13:46

members , um , within the disney rules are

13:48

they have to be official disney

13:50

pins . Now you do get fake ones out there and

13:52

they're quite easy to spot because when you look on the back

13:54

they they're a very cheap and manual and

13:57

all the Disney pins are actually embossed

13:59

. They've got Mickey's on the back . They

14:01

normally have a Mickey pinhead , and they do actually have

14:03

somewhere the Disney logo .

14:05

And it says copyright Disney .

14:07

And it does say copyright Disney . They are collectible

14:09

and there's some really nice ones out there as well , and there's

14:11

some exclusive ones as well . Even you've got

14:13

a couple . Yeah , I've got a couple .

14:14

Yeah , I've got a couple .

14:15

Yeah , because you've got your PhotoPass and your Cruise one

14:17

.

14:17

Yeah , I managed to get one , which is a PhotoPass

14:19

one . It's actually one that a lot of the cast

14:21

members who take pictures wear

14:23

, and

14:26

as a photographer , it was one that just appealed . And yeah , it's a sort of Mickey Mouse shape

14:28

with a green spirally

14:30

bit in the middle , but it's quite rare as well , so I'm

14:32

told .

14:32

Yeah , it is quite a rare one

14:34

and obviously going on the cruises

14:36

you get cruise-specific ones as well . So

14:39

it's just another sort

14:41

of souvenir of a trip

14:43

and it also helps build up another collection , not

14:47

as if I don't need to collect anything ?

14:49

Yeah , shall we go on to what else you collect ?

14:50

What do you mean ?

14:51

Well , I have a list here .

14:53

Okay , oh , he's got a list . I

14:56

have another one of those lists . Oh yeah , I always get worried when he has his lists

14:58

because I never know what's on them , because he

15:00

sits scribbling what you're doing nothing and

15:02

I don't realize . It's another list for me . Okay

15:04

, what's on the list ?

15:05

okay , fridge magnets fridge magnets . Yeah

15:07

, I've got a few yeah , we had to buy

15:09

a bigger fridge again , fridge magnets are collectible

15:12

.

15:12

You get all different ones . You get ones that are photo

15:14

framed , you get parks , specific

15:16

ones , you get special ones , and

15:18

I might have about 50

15:21

so far yeah , we

15:23

had to get a new fridge and also with magnets

15:25

. You do . Actually , if you're an annual pass holder in walt disney

15:28

world , you do get the occasionally

15:30

get the chance to go and show your annual pass and

15:32

you get a annual pass specific

15:34

magnet .

15:35

Yes , magnets Also on

15:37

my list , and considering I'm sitting

15:39

in a studio on a settee that is

15:41

covered in stuffed

15:44

animals , I could suggest that

15:46

you actually collect stuffed animals characters

15:48

as well .

15:49

I collect Stitch and I collect Mickey

15:51

and Minnie's and I collect Winnie the Pooh's . Now

15:53

, this stems back from my first trip

15:55

to Disneyland Paris back when it was Euro

15:58

Disney . I brought home a Mickey Mouse

16:00

and then , just after I came back

16:02

, the Disney shop opened . If you can ever remember

16:04

the old style Disney shops around , they

16:06

used to have the big plush mountains

16:09

. I always wanted a mountain of Disney plushes

16:11

, so I started collecting Mickey Mouses

16:13

and then I bought my first Winnie

16:15

the Pooh , because Winnie the Pooh is one of my favourite Disney

16:18

characters . And then I discovered that they

16:20

did all sorts of various different

16:22

Winnie the Poohs . You can get Winnie the Poohs in different

16:24

outfits . I've got Winnie the Pooh .

16:26

You've got Winnie the Pooh .

16:28

I've got about 175

16:33

Winnie the Poohs .

16:33

You what I've got .

16:35

Winnie the Pooh's you got 175 , winnie

16:37

the Pooh's yes , all collectibles , and some of them are dated

16:39

as well . And then I also

16:41

collect Mickey Mouses . I don't have as many Mickey

16:44

Mouses at the moment

16:46

. At the moment she says and , of course , a Stitch , which

16:48

we really like . So yeah , disney

16:51

plushies are fun , they're cuddly , they're

16:55

so cuddly , they're so fluffy what else do

16:57

we have ?

16:57

spirit jerseys spirit jerseys . This

17:00

is expensive disney sweatshirts

17:02

very nice disney sweatshirts .

17:03

Spirit jersey is a slightly . It's

17:06

a brand of disney apparel

17:09

sweatshirts that you can get in the parks

17:11

and they do all

17:13

different types and styles and colors

17:16

and basically it's a jumper , a

17:18

long-sleeve jumper , which often has a motif

17:21

or a picture on the front and on the back it has

17:23

a picture or a motif and

17:25

some big writing . So you

17:27

have Walt Disney World specific ones , you

17:29

have Disney Cruise specific ones . You have

17:32

the Disney 100 ones

17:34

, because last year was 100 year of Disney , you got the Disney 100

17:36

ones . You have the anniversary ones . They're just really comfortable

17:38

jumpers . Mr Disney's got a couple

17:40

as well .

17:41

I wouldn't describe them as jumpers , they're sweatshirts they're

17:43

not as thick as a sweatshirt .

17:44

They're a slightly more lightweight sweatshirt

17:47

. They're not a jumper jumper , they're lightweight . They're

17:51

ideal out in Florida and also actually roll them

17:53

up and put them in the bottom of your lounge fly bag .

17:56

Another use for lounge fly bags .

17:58

But yeah , there are other things you can collect at Disney

18:00

. There are Disney mugs , disney pens

18:02

, disney knickknacks , disney ornaments , disney

18:05

Christmas decorations yes , I have a Disney

18:07

Christmas tree and

18:09

if you could see our studio now , there is lots

18:11

and lots of Disney ornaments around . So , yeah , there

18:13

are all sorts of things you can collect , but

18:18

the main collectibles for me are my lounge flies , are my pins

18:20

and are my ears and my plushies .

18:21

Thank God for that .

18:23

Well , if I wanted to start collecting everything

18:26

, I'd need a bigger house .

18:27

Anyway , I think we've bored people

18:29

enough now .

18:30

If you have Disney collectibles . It'd be interesting to hear what you

18:32

think . And , ladies , I think you all agree with

18:34

me that lounge fly bags

18:36

are a necessity

18:39

and having more than one is

18:41

a must-have . Yes , dear .

18:43

I'm going to buy you another one now . I'm

18:45

saying that instead .

18:47

I am .

18:48

Anyway , I think it's time to say goodbye .

18:49

It's time to say goodbye because , guess what ? I'm going back on to

18:51

shop . This needs to go shopping . Bye .

18:54

More lounge fly bags . Anyway , thanks for listening

18:56

and have a good one .
