Oh, and welcome to very amusing, your one-stop shop for the stories, secrets, and shenanigans

of a popcorn-fueled theme park journalist.

I'm Carly Waiselle, and if I sound a little quieter than usual, a little more reserved

than normal. It's just because I am at Walt Disney World, and it is very late at night,

and I am terrified the person in the room next to me is going to bolt up awake in the

middle of the night hearing a woman go, how wow! So if I sound reserved, that is why I'm

not low energy, I am just terrified of conflict. Anyway, I am here! I'm here at Walt Disney

World, this is unbelievably the first episode I've ever recorded while in Walt Disney World.

Well, I'm Walt Disney World, and I'm so happy to be here. I've been here for a couple

days now, I'm having an absolutely splendid time while also having done almost nothing

so far. I've mostly been in the room working and tying up edits on a few stories that I

had leftover, but it's just been really, really, really, really, really nice to be packed,

and it feels like the right time for me to have returned. I feel good about everything,

and I'm having a blast, and I'm eating a lot of caramel corn just going, and my teeth

already hurts, so you know how I'm doing the good work. As you know, I am a bit intense

with my COVID protocols, and I have to say, in the hotels, in the general park spaces so

far, I am pleasantly surprised. I've only done about three attractions, but still, people

are really wearing their masks indoors, and cast members are doing a great job reminding

people, and they're doing it in this very casual way where they're just like, ugh, like

asking you to lift your mask, and it's down, and it's very chill, and it goes over very

well, and people immediately pick their masks up. It's just all, it's all been great.

Granted, this is a very early dispatch from a whole week here at Walt Disney World, but
