Ready to take a trip to the world.

You found the Be Our Guast Walt Disney World Trip Planning Podcast.

This is where your memories come front and center on our podcast stage.

Welcome to episode 2,836 of the Be Our Guest Walt Disney World Trip Planning Podcast.

I'm your host to Mike Raulman from Be Our Guest Podcast.com and one of the senior agents over at the Magic for Less Travel. Happy Monday to you. And welcome to another different type podcast.

That's right.

It's Monday.

It's time for a great trip report show and it is just going to be me and you.

You are the co-host of the show today because today again, we're going to have another different type podcast.

And I want to thank each and every one of you for the very, very kind words on the show about two weeks ago where I did my solo show, kind of previewing Marathon Weekend, 2026.

And I gave my thoughts on our co-hosts, Pam, Ricky Scott, and you guys that join me every week here on the show to kind of just,

I wanted to say thank you for your support of the show. And I wanted to give my, kind of my

flowers to my co-hosts who share their talents with us here on the podcast each and every week.

Scott, Ricky, Pam, they're great at what they do. And I don't get to say thank you enough.

And I wanted to take that time a few weeks back to say that I really do appreciate them

for the talents that they give to our podcast and they have for the past 18 years here on the show.

So I am going to do one more solo show so that I hope that you guys will

let me do this here on a Monday because I am having to bank a few shows. We're trying to

get ahead just a little bit because as I've shared maybe I think I've shared that here

on the big show, but I've definitely shared it over on Mike in the Midwest. I am going to have a surgery here in the next few weeks, and I'm going to be out of the studio for a couple of weeks. I don't know how long it's going to take for the recovery, but you guys know me. I don't like to miss podcasts. We have not missed a podcast since we've started the show back in March of 2008. I don't know if that streak will continue over this time,

but I want to give my best effort to not miss any podcasts.

We might have to miss some,
