Hello!

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

of a popcorn-fueled theme park journalist. I'm Carly Weiselle, and if you are listening

to this, that means Muppet Vision 3D has closed. It seems like the day was long off in the

future. Like it was never really upon us. And yet, and yet, it has happened.

Now, there's one other thing that is happening, if you're listening to this episode,

and that's that I'm not on land.

My feet are currently on another Disney Cruise Line sailing to Alaska.

I have wanted to do this for my entire life and I, I was not expecting it to happen now.

I thought maybe like in a few years like, oh, I'll, you know, I'll get the whole family together

and we'll do it. But a work opportunity presented itself and I am currently at sea. I can't

wait to tell you all about it. But until then, we got to really take a minute

and mourn all that we have lost because last week was a doozy for a Disney theme park fan.

We're going to get into it in this episode, but there's a lot of information to process there.

There's a sherlot. A sherlot is changing. And it really just, I don't know, I keep thinking of that Ed Helms meme

from the office where his character, Andy Bernard, is just like, I wish you, I mean, I'm paraphrasing

poorly, but like, I wish you knew you were in the good old days while you were in them. And that's

kind of how I'm feeling about everything. Everything is changing a lot.

The way that we approach Disneyland, the way that we enter Disneyland, like the whole entrance

is probably going to be different in the future. The version of Magic Kingdom that we've

spent our lifetimes with is changing in an unprecedented way, I would say. And now with these huge changes in Lumpet Vision and at California Adventure, there's just so much change.

And I'm glad that we have a moment to pause and talk about it with one of my absolute favorite people on Earth, Andrew Brochfeldman.
