0:00.0	Today we'll have Aubrey's ASL Focus Trip.
0:03.4	That's coming up on this, episode 489 of W.
0:06.1	Krep to Go.
0:28.7	We talk strategy and ideas and have lots and lots of trip reports or people planning their Disney World trips.
0:33.6	I'm my host, Shannon Albert from WDWPropSchool.com.
0:36.4	Thank you for being here for episode 489.
0:39.1	When I wrote down this episode number, I couldn't believe it. The numbers just keep getting bigger and bigger.
0:44.6	We're about to hit 500 in early 2026. Amazing. So today is another trip report, and this one is with Aubrey.
0:52.4	And as you know, we like to pick guests that represent all different kinds of trips.

1:23.7	In some ways, it is a lot like the content I used to have on the podcast, 12 years ago,
1:29.4	11 years ago, where I would just pick a topic and talk about it for a little while.
1:33.9	But we do a lot of trip reports here, both either my own or the guest trip reports. And so
1:38.8	I'm using YouTube for that. And also, it has the benefit of being very visual. So there's lots of graphics and
1:45.7	things on the screen that can help explain something. So if you're into YouTube, be sure to head
1:51.3	over there for more information. I think that is it for now. Let's jump into my chats with
1:57.1	Aubrey. Welcome to podcast Aubrey. Hi, I'm super excited to be here.
