UPCOMING
Hey friends!!
I’m coming at you LIVE from my first time in Florida! We are having a great time experiencing DW for the first time as well, although my feet will never be the same I don’t think. We’ve done two full park days and I fell asleep the minute my head hit the pillow! It’s been a little rainy but i’d take that over sweltering heat so it’s all good! The Tron ride was amazing(even though only 90 seconds) , so glad I watched the movies first, with my boys too!
This week we will still have our classic romantic poll winner and our lalalovepoll winner! I was so surprised by both and am excited to share the reactions with you!
When I get back we’ll start Presidents Theme Week, what’s a good catchy name? See it won’t be all mushy all month!
Ok sorry for the quick update, doing this from my phone! I hope you all have an amazing week ❤️ Wish us luck, tomorrow we go to Pandora
with a touch of magic,
Cassie

Grosse Pointe Blank tonight, can't wait ?!?!
The pics are amazing!! looks like y'all are having a lot of fun and you deserved some time off... happy for you all!
Grosse Pointe Blank reaction can't get here fast enough. Really looking forward to it.
GROSSE POINTE BLANK!!! One of my all-time favorites. Very happy to see that listed.
In It Happened One Night Clark Gable's fast talking character eating carrots while leaning on a fence was an inspiration for Bugs Bunny.
GPB is a classic.
Cassie not sure if you have anything picked out for Presidents Week, and not sure there is any way to make this work, but the John Adams series (7 episode limited series about 1st VPOTUS and eventually 2nd POTUS) is a FANTASTIC show that I think you'd really enjoy, not only for the quality of the show, but the quality of the history it covers. Doubt it would really work for this event, but even if you never get it onto the channel, I highly recommend it, at least for your own enjoyment.
Occasionally showing the really old classics like "A Night To Remember" is so good. I have two I think people would really enjoy. "Harvey" Tons of fun and heartwarming. An amazing performance by one of the greats - James Stewart. 1950 "Lilies Of The Field" another heartwarming feel good film staring another one of the greats - Sidney Poitier 1963 Both these films leave you feeling good all over.
‘Harvey’ is such a great movie. I’d like to see it back on the stage! Also ‘A nigh to Remember’ is a classic, better than Leo and Kate, in my opinion! So many great British Golden Age Actors. The book the movie is based on is superb!
Last time I went to Disney World there wasn't an Epcot, but I think the tickets were around $9 for adults.
No doubt about it, based on the pictures Cassie is sharing, she's having a great time in DW. You and your husband deserve many good times.
Of course, we could condemn that president if he acted too salty. And as activists we could yell at him and tell him he butter-not-make-things-worse.
If the president is a dad and a former member of the army, we could call him a Pop-kernel.
You could call it “Hail to the Chief Week.” The traditional song played for the President of the United States.
“Pop Goes the President Poll.” I’m a sucker for alliteration, obvi. Movies include All the King’s Men, All the President’s Men, Absolute Power, Dave, American President, White House Down, Olympus Has Fallen, Thirteen Days, Seven Days in May, Lincoln, and many more! I hesitate to mention Dr. Strangelove since the Prez is not a major character.
Dr. Strangelove is a great movie. I don't think that's Cassie's sense of humor. She's good at trying stuff out of her comfort zone and she so she might try Dr. Doctor Strangelove. There are plenty of other silly movies with Peter Sellers...she'd probably enjoy the Pink Panther movies more. And I couldn't think of a movie more different that Strangelove than Peter's last movie, "Being There" No matter if you're a Dem or Rep, Conservative or Liberal, that movie rings as true in 2024 as it did decades ago. Too bad Peter had a bad heart, he died in his 50s, far too young, he was a great talent.
The Mouse always wins, especially at DW! :) https://finance.yahoo.com/news/never-more-expensive-disney-fan-120030994.html
Oliver Stone's "Nixon" is the best of his presidential biographical films -- but don't watch it until you've seen "All The President's Men." And "Young Mr. Lincoln" is a beloved b&w classic starring Henry Fonda (father of Jane Fonda) as the title character.
The director of "It Happened One Night " and "It's a Wonderful Life " is Frank Capra. One of the greatest directors ever. Look him up and I hope you will react to more of his movies.
I like that you're wearing a Daisy Duck shirt. Very cute.
What to call your President's Theme Week?? Too Easy. "President Pic's" or extrapolate it to "President Pictures"..... or After you take the poll you could call it "President Poll Picks"!! Or if you want to be ridiculous: "Poll Picks of Pictures of Presidents in a Pickle". My two cents. LOL!!
Maybe in honor of Toby Keith she should watch The Mule (2018) Clint Eastwood movie were Toby made his last song "Don't Let The Old Man In"
Dave (1993) would be a good movie for President's day and I don't know if it fits but Absolute Power (1997) is good too.
Hot Buttered Presidents... um, maybe not
Hi. I'm sorry if this too personal but Cassie has two boys and a girl? Sorry if I'm wrong.
She mentions her kids, but does keep that part of her life private. She of course has her sister on her channel and her mom showed up for the first "Mission Impossible" reaction. Watch her "Rainman" reaction when she talks about her other sister. It's the most I've ever seen her open up about her family. We also saw more of her "OUTSIDE" of the popcorn and bed setting when she went to "Dead Reckoning" Hmmmm.... Maybe Tom Cruise lets down her gaurd?? LOL!! Just My two cents. ;-D
Mr Smith goes to Washington is a MUST see in this current time in US politics
Now is the perfect time for a Classic Horror poll, because anytime is the perfect time for a Classic Horror poll.
.....or a non-english european poll. It's been a while since Amelie 😏🙂
All The Presidents Movies(Men)
Glad you got to Florida for DW! Sorry about the rain, not really in danger of the sweltering heat in February. Hope you have a great week. Nice pics!
I can't wait for your reaction to All the President's Men (1976)! I'm not sure if you know this but two actors from 12 Angry Men (1957) feature in All the President's Men (1976); Martin Balsam (who played the jury foreman) and Jack Warden (who played the impatient baseball fan) both play deputy Washington Post editors in All the President's Men (1976).
Popcorn West Wing Week
I bow to your superior suggestion, but I'd simplify it to "West Wing Week".
Ahhh... the Disney Experience! Enjoy the time with the Fam!
I've been to both Disney Parks, when I was younger, without kids. I'm sure your at another level with your babies with you.
At the risk of being nauseatingly repetitive, I must say: I'm *so* excited for the _It Happened One Night_ reaction! 😁
Me too! In fact, I'm beside myself. And "he's" excited, too!
Hail to the Popcorn Chief
Cassie if you want to go back in time and check out a very young Robert Redford, you called him an old school Brad Pitt, you can check out the film: 3 Days of the Condor.
When I saw A River Runs Through It I thought Brad Pitt was a young Robert Redford
Mr. Smith Goes to Washington is another great Jimmy Stewart film.
And another great Frank Capra film.
And for comedic relief I believe Cassie is planning to react to Dave,
There is also the musical 1776 with singing John Adams - our second president and Thomas Jefferson our third president. The film interconnects historical personalities, including old Ben Franklin, who in 1776 was already 70. It concludes with the signing of our Declaration of Independence...so a good 13 years before George Washington and the ratification of our Constitution. For those who enjoy history and musical is a fun nostalgic film. Truth is John and Abigale Adams had a wonderful love affair, we know this because of the hundreds of letters they sent each other. In 1776 it took a week to travel from Boston to New York.
I watch it every July 4th! Hoping it makes the cut this summer.
“POPCORN POTUS WEEK” President Of The United States (POTUS) “Poe-tuss” Have Fun in the Most Magical Place on Earth! (I wish I can see through a child’s eyes all over again).
Hmm... a name for Presidents' Week you say? How about "Hail To The Chiefs" Week? Washington C.C. Week? Whatever it is, I'm looking forward to it, as well as all the other reactions coming up.
Presidents poll - call it "Executive PiB-lege". And put Lincoln and Thirteen Days on it.
brilliant!
Premium movies: The Butterfly effect (theatrical version) Star trek first contact The cooler (2003) Fresh (1994) A Night at the roxbury White men can’t jump (1992) Death to smoochy Dawn of the dead (2004) The Truman show Good will hunting

One my weirdest memories from Disney World from when I went in the mid 90s, was a restaurant we went to. The theme was a 50s style home kitchen meal, and the waiters and waitresses acted like your parents. You called them Mom or Dad and you had to act mannerly. No elbows on the table. Napkin in your lap. You had to ask permission to go to the bathroom and you had to finish all of your vegetables. If you didn’t, they would treat you like a little child, and try to feed you by doing the Choo Choo or Airplane with the fork. I forget what exactly for, but I saw them make an Old Man at another table stand in the corner because he was bad. I just looked it up, and it’s still there. It’s at Hollywood Studios Park and called… 50's Prime Time Café Don’t remember what the food was like, but it was definitely a memorable experience. My Dad filmed that whole Week we were there and it’s one of my favorite home movies to re-watch. (Even the part where I peed myself on The Tower of Terror. Ahh, the memories :-) We went around this time of year too. I remember it being so Cool that my Parents took us out of school for a week to go to Disney World. I might of bragged a bit to the other kids. I hope you’re all having the Time of Your Lives and Making Memories. And I hope the weather clears up… but like you say, at least it ain’t hot.

Glad you and your family are enjoying your time a DisneyWorld Cassie!
"my feet will never be the same" Well, if you seemingly don't wear socks...! What next, pineapple topping on pizzas?! Do I need to re-consider my subscription? :-)
I'm really hoping Lincoln, Daniel Day-Lewis is my favorite actor and Abe is my favorite president so stars aligned on this one. Can't wait for you to see it and hopefully this month!
Lincoln yes. I hope Cassie watches two Lincoln films. First the Raymond Massey Abe Lincoln in Illinois, will give her a little more background to set up the Daniel Day-Lewis version.
I saw It Happened One Night years ago on TCM, I really enjoyed it despite being made in the 1930s. President’s Day I hope you watch either Lincoln or JFK (it’s not a biopic on JFK, it’s an investigation into his assassination, great movie though). Another great presidential movie is The Candidate (1972) starring Robert Redford but you might as well save that for November.
The Candidate is indeed a great movie, but Redford's character is campaigning for a U.S. Senate seat, not the White House.
Family is everything, it is truly all that matters. Enjoy every moment, best wishes from Leigh Anne and I. Looking forward to your reviews. We love the classics!
I recommend for Black History Month: IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT (1967) (won Oscar for Best Picture). Stars Sidney Poitier. LINCOLN (2012) [Oscar nominee for Best Picture]. Daniel Day-Lewis (won Oscar for Best Actor) transformed himself into Lincoln. Tommy Lee Jones and Sally Fields nominated for respective Oscars.
I second both of those recommendations. But with some reservations on the rec for NIGHT. I have wanted to have Cassie watch a Sidney Poitier 1967 Theme Week since the actor had such a banner year in 1967 and watch all three hit films he made that year: TO SIR, WITH LOVE; GUESS WHO'S COMING TO DINNER; and IN THE HEAT OF THE NIGHT. She would be engrossed and enthralled by all three films. TO SIR, WITH LOVE is a Cassie/Carly film.
As far as a name for President’s week reactions, how about Presenting the Presidents. Simple and to the point.
I like Presenting the Presidents. I couldn't come up with one myself, and your suggestion is outstanding.
Grosse Pointe Blank winning the love poll is embarrassing.
Couldn't have said it any better.
Looks like you and the family are having a great time! Sorry the weather isn’t better for you, but it’s better than suffering from both physical exhaustion AND heat exhaustion. If you think your feet hurt now, wait until you get to Epcot. And while you’re there, you HAVE to get on Soarin’. Its AMAZING! And if you’re going to Hollywood Studios, Toy Story Mania is a must. Enjoy the rest of your stay, and safe travels home.
Cassie's feet will never be the same? 😢 Does this mean no more popping sounds during the full length reactions? 😢 😉
Suggestion for "Black History Month" (1)- a movie with the first black Oscar winner (Hattie McDaniel) and the first black male Oscar winner (James Baskett), a movie with one of the most famous songs of all time, and it is a Disney movie! Plus, I don't see any reactions to it yet. I am talking about the movie much maligned by people that have never seen it, the movie banned by Disney (Michael Eisner)- Song of the South (1946). Cassie, just say the word and I will send the 22GB file for the high definition fan reconstruction. (1)which I am totally against because it should just be "history", but it let's me suggest a movie I really want a reaction to
I don't see that the movie is available to stream in the US. How would we get a copy to sync with Cassie's reaction?
So glad you chose Disney World over Disneyland this time around. You want to talk about rain?!?!😂
Have fun! I’m heading down there next month for my birthday.
Let's have a poll to name the poll!
😂😂😂
Your children certainly have love-ly faces. :-|
Bless their hearts.
Cassie, Florida is a trip, been there five times myself three times for college football bowl games. I am so glad your having so much fun. I am in Colorado myself heading to California later in the week. You and your family have fun.
Glad you are your family are having a good time. I went there once in 1997. That is a huge place.
When you go to EPCOT if you haven't gone already, you must go eat at Via Napoli in the Italian pavilion of the World Showcase. The pizza is great and your kids will love you and Ben for taking them there.
I know Disneyland is not the same square miles as DW is but what I know is that once you are inside the theme park your feet are your close companions if you guys are planning to walk all day hydration is key no matter the weather. Also I hear that DW’s fireworks are almost 24/7 non-stop. Keep being awesome as always Cassie
Glad you are having a great time in Florida, Cassie! My nephew runs a restaurant in Jacksonville. I haven't visited since he moved down there the year before last, but I will one day! I am beyond excited for this weeks reactions! I have long wanted you to watch IT HAPPENED ONE NIGHT, truly it has been one of my dreams for you to react to it! (Full disclosure: Cassie said on a YouTube premiere chat last week that she watched it, so I know she has already seen it). It will be your second Frank Capra film. The movie is the first film to win all the 5 top line Academy Awards: Oscars for Best Picture, Actor, Actress, Director and Screen Story (adapted). This will be a great time for us film fans to suggest you watch Clark Gable's most famous film: GONE WITH THE WIND (1939) a film every film fan must see. And I'm almost as excited for you to see GROSSE POINTE BLANK, as I had that film on my 5 picks should I ever win the trivia contest (a dream too big for me, I know, lol). It is a great movie I know you will love the chemistry between John Cusak and Minnie Driver in that one. I know I'm going to lose some sleep this week anticipating these reactions!!!
Gone With the Wind (1939) is a Must. Maybe some of that Florida Wind she is experiencing now will inspire her. ;-)
You should treat yourself to an extra butter tier pedicure once you return. "Hail To The Chief" and "Presidents Choice" I think are good catchy names for the poll.
Hail to the chief is a good one! Also like "Executive Order".
Looks like you and the kids are having a good time. I briefly researched "It Happened One Night" and think I might like it. I will likely watch your reaction to Grosse Point Blank, even though I much prefer the second place Silver Linings Playbook (2012) in the poll. Looking forward to Presidents Theme Week. Crossing my fingers that you will react to All the President's Men (1976) [an AFI Top 100 film that no one reacts to and a big time favorite of mine], but you also mentioned other presidents movies that are good and therefore I will be happy no matter what. Safe travels.
I’m still hopeful she will watch Silver Linings Playbook since it’s a romance poll. The genre’s she loves need to be well represented!
It happened one night. Fantastic movie
You look so happy. I’m glad you are enjoying yourselves. These memories will last all of you a lifetime. I sure know what toll it takes on the body though 😂
Hey! I'm glad you're having a good time. As a Floridian, sorry for the weather - you caught us in a rare state.
Wow, perfect timing. The whole southwest is covered in terrible weather. Hoping for great weather for your trip.
Lincoln Is a good name so I'd all the presidents man
Your Oldest seem to be wearing Hockey Jerseys, didn't expect much Hockey following in Utah.
Well she's Canadian, isn't she?
Little heart kids! How adorable. Enjoy DW!
That’s so magical! I remember my first DW experience and I can’t wait to get to go back now that there are all the new rides and places to visit, especially Pandora! Really looking forward to the love poll reactions! I am a romance lover myself and can’t wait to see you guys watch some of my favourites in the future!
Political Intrigue Battle! (PiB!) For a poll name.
Don’t forget to ride Space Mountain! And you gotta do the Haunted Mansion!!
"It's a small world after all" song at Disneyland 1968 😀
Watching one of my favorites The Prince and Me! 😆
