Hello!

And welcome to Very Amusing, your one-stop shop for the stories, secrets, and

genanigans of a popcorn-fueled theme park journalist.

I'm Carly Waiselle, and I recorded an entire intro to this podcast

about, yep, believe me, when I say this, the walk-around character, Kermit that they used to have at

Disney's Hollywood Studios. I just talked about how big his hands are for like two straight minutes

without realizing, oh, I don't know, maybe we should discuss a musical loosah? Maybe we should discuss it because we

announced the trip, I think as we recorded last week's podcast, because that was the same day,

so we never got to actually talk about it. So we got to talk about it real quick. First of all,

again, you've probably seen the multiple things that I've posted online. We deeply under-anticipated demand. We, straight up, we thought we

knew the amount of people who were going to want to go to Disney World on our group trip,

and three-to-fourfold responses from there. We goofed. So what this means is that while,

unfortunately, this Amusapalooza will is already

maxed out, it's completely sold out. I never thought we'd be in a world where between podcast

episodes for podcast group trip, we would sell out. But the good news is that I can say things

like this Amusapalooza because that means we can keep doing this. We truly did not know if it

would be me, my mom, and seven friends showing up to this in Florida can keep doing this. We truly did not know if it would be me,

my mom, and seven friends showing up to this in Florida. We had hopes. We had, we hoped people would

show up, but we did not know. And so now that we know, and unfortunately in that process,

many people who wanted to go were not able to. And for that, I am still, I have like a debilitating

stomach issue and I'm pretty sure about 40% of it is from anxiety over that and will remain that way. But anyway, uh, this just means that we get to do more travels together in the future. We get to all hang out in person, like maybe every year, maybe twice a year. I don't know yet. But we at least have a roadmap and we have a proof of concept. We were selling a product, but the product is just

friends. year, maybe twice a year. I don't know yet. But we at least have a roadmap and we have a, I don't know, a proof of concept. We were selling a product, but the products is just friendships. So regardless, I am so excited that we get to do more of these. If you were not able to attend this one, either because of dates, either because of booking requirements, either because I said it was going to be a real chill sign-up and it was not at all.
