00:00We are live aboard the Disney Destiny, and Ellen is back. Ellen saw one we talked to earlier,

00:05but now we're talking about the entertainment aboard this ship, and it's aplenty.

00:09It is aplenty, and I got to tell you, it is my favorite.

00:12Okay, so the first thing I want to talk about, and I'm just going to let you roll,

00:15is Hercules, because we've actually road tripped. We drove from Philadelphia.

00:20Amazing.

00:21Drove from Philadelphia to Fort Lauderdale, obviously, which is where we left on this

00:24cruise, and on that drive, my daughter and my youngest son watched Hercules, because they

00:30knew that there was going to be something on the ship that they wanted to get. So talk to me about

00:32Hercules.

00:33Yes, Disney Hercules is our modern retelling of that classic animated film that so many of us love,

00:38and it's being brought to life on stage with, I got to tell you, some of the most amazing performers,

00:45the most amazing music, and these jaw-dropping stunts and puppetry that are unlike anything

00:52you've seen on stage before. This moment when Hercules is battling the Hydra, I am telling you,

00:58wait for it. It's big. And the muses, as I think about the animated film, they're such strong

01:05characters, but their voices are stronger than them, and it's the same on the stage. And honestly,

01:12the performers, I could not speak highly enough about them.

01:15Let's talk about, because what I experienced yesterday, and again, my first cruise, same thing

01:19for my family, is there's entertainment going on at all times. Like, you turn a corner and

01:25Loki's there in the Grand Hall, or there was a Marvel, adult Marvel show yesterday that we walked

01:31by. Talk to me about just all the different things that are going on entertainment-wise.

01:34Yeah, I think what's so great is that there is always something going on. So if you're someone

01:38who likes to be doing things all the time, you can go find stuff. And whether it's adult

01:43entertainment offerings, or you're looking for those character moments, and this is not just,

01:47stand next to them, take your picture. This is truly a moment where you're dancing with them.

01:53You'll see regularly, Don will be shaking his little tail feather, taking the kids, spinning

01:58them around. It is so much fun, and you really get to have a moment with them. But also on Disney

02:04Destiny specifically, we have these all-new meet-and-play experiences. So think about some of those

02:09really cool parlor tricks that Dr. Facilier from The Princess and the Frog might do.

02:14These really unique, intimate experiences, you know, you might even go down the runway

02:19with Cruella DeVille. You are just going to be surprised around every corner.

02:25Yesterday, true story, we had to physically remove my youngest son from Donald Duck because

02:30he would not let go. True story. And we got a picture of it too, by the way. Big 98 one

02:34Philly if you want to see it. And then just after that, we were walking down back to our stateroom

02:38and Moana was skipping down the hallway. And my daughter loves Moana. And of course, she turned

02:43around high, had talked to her, took a picture with her. They did a fun little video with like

02:46the girl side pose on the hip type thing, right? Absolutely. It's that classic pose. And it really

02:51is. It's characters from the entire Disney universe. So whether you're a Marvel fan or you're a

02:56princess fan or classic Disney characters, you are going to have the best time. And of course,

03:02it's heroes and villains. That's the theme aboard here. And there are both heroes. There are villains

03:05aboard this ship too. I want to talk, let's go back to kind of the adult stuff because

03:08I got a chance to see the Haunted Mansion. Yes. This thing is out of this world. I mean,

03:13it's unbelievable. Talk to me about it. Yeah. The Haunted Mansion parlor is really a unique

03:17experience because you are stepping into the world of the beloved attraction. Think of it as like you

03:23just got off that doom buggy and all of a sudden you're in it. And while not our classic characters,

03:29some of those hitchhiking ghosts, they are coming to life in all new ways themselves.

03:33It is really, really cool. You have to experience it. Big981.com to enter to win your trip and

03:39experience all of the entertainment aboard. Ellen, thank you so much. Thank you so much.
