Welcome to For Your Amusement, a theme park podcast that aims to exhaustively evaluate the world's most popular theme park attractions to determine if they are world-class.

I'm Ryan Bergara.

I'm Barron Marin.

And for today's episode, we're going to be talking about the avalanche of announcements from Destination D23 and joining us to unpack all of that

is James Grosh from Guy to WDW. Oh, I nail. I was going to say,

0:29.5

Nailed it. Guy to WD. It's so hard to say fast and I couldn't do it. But check out

0:35.6

Guy to DWW. No, my God. Guide to W.D.W. I feel like I'm having a stroke

0:43.5

right now. But my apologies for this. I didn't, I didn't name a Guide to WDW. That was my sister.

0:51.8

How are you doing that? She's through many, many, many hundreds of videos saying I'm James from Guide to WDW. That was my sister. How are you doing that? She's through many, many, many hundreds of videos saying I'm James from Guide to WDW, although now I have it in my head. I'm going to mess it up. Yeah, my sister named it as a website in 1999, and then I took it over and then started doing videos for about a couple of years ago. So that's been saying guide to WDW a lot. I could tell. It's

1:11.8

quite the tongue twist here. Doing the family business proud. And I practiced before this and I still couldn't get it. But either way, that's in no way indicative of the great content you can find over there. Thank you for joining us. Thank you very much for having me. Y'all are one of my favorite podcasts out there, not just theme park podcasts, but podcasts. I've been coming down to Orlando a lot,

1:30.9

doing a lot of travel. And kind of my ritual is that I'll fire up FYA to, you know, as I'm on the plane or driving down and just listen to who's going to do a muscle job. And, you know, the attraction is world class. So I love it. Thank you. This is a thrill for me. Oh, amazing. Really appreciate James. We're going to have to have you back on to do a normal, just cover a ride, just a ride in general. I would love to. But for today, as mentioned up top, we're going to be talking about D23. Now, now every time I say the word D, my body is going into shock.

And sometimes we're going to be releasing some vicarious vlogs early for e-ticketers over there. That's right. E-ticketers can get extended cuts of the vlogs a little bit early, about like a week

2:31.7

or so early is the goal. So, yeah, for you for, for you Kearney ticketers, thank you so much for supporting us to the, uh, extent you do. We really appreciate your passion and we hope you are enjoying the extended cuts that you've been receiving so far. Byron's a machine. We'll try and keep it on track, but. Well, we'll try. And you, as if you're a fan of this pod, you know that we don't often succeed in that. But, James, thank you for listening to the pod. I'm always surprised when people have actually listened to the pod and they come on this show. So that's very nice of you to say. And of course, we've seen your content. But you were just there. You were just at D23.
