Good morning from the car. It is 11 a.m. It is March 2nd, 2022, which is a big day for us.

Yes, it is. So March 2nd, 2017 was when we published the very first episode of Addicted to the Mouse.

And so it's been five years. Can you believe it?

It has gone by so incredibly fast. And honestly, it is grown into more than I ever, ever could have

imagined. So before we get to the main part of today's show, which is also really fun, we wanted to take just a minute if you'd bear with us and we want to say thank you.

Thank you to all of you that have supported us over the last five years.

It means so much to us.

Yeah.

And I mean, that support has come in so many different ways from just commenting on our post,

sharing our posts, booking vacations with fantastical vacations, telling your friends and family

about us every single way, just downloading and listening.

We are so, so appreciative.

I told Dan five years ago when he had this crazy idea to

start this podcast that no one would ever listen to us. And fast forward to today and we had

drinks with our new friends from Ireland a few nights ago. So thank you to the Gills for hanging out

with us. It's just, it's so surreal and it is just so incredible

and we could not thank you guys enough. Yeah, this podcast started five years ago with an idea

of just to practice and really dabble in podcasting for the first time because I was looking

at doing a different sort of endeavor that involved a podcast,

separate and apart from Disney or anything like that. And so I never in a million years imagined that,

because that podcast didn't make it, I mean it made it a little while, but it didn't grow into anything.

This podcast has grown into something that is so much more than just a podcast. It's a community of friends.
