I'm missing something obvious (one frame per layer not working)

Hello friends! Quick question. I made a simple 13 frame spinning animation and, for the life of me, I can't seem to get it to playback or save "one frame per layer". I can't seem to figure out how to make it so my gif only has one layer for each frame of the animation and doesn't have the effect it has now (where all the layers stack up during the animation). I can upload the .xcf if you'd all like, but yeah I feel like I'm missing something obvious.

When you export the file as a gif, in the drop-down box where it says "Frame disposal where unspecified" select "One frame per layer (replace)" and check the box next to "Use disposal entered above for all frames".
I do that, and that does not actually work. That's my problem. I'll get a picture in a bit but this was the first thing I did. Lol

The GIF file as linked above obviously uses the combine frame disposal method. Have a look at its layer names, pretty sure you'll have (combine) all over there. Change this to (replace).
It does not:

Well, it shouldn't, unless I set this up incorrectly.
Have a look at the individual layers - they already contain multiple copies of your bird each.
