Hello!

And welcome to Very Amusing,

your one-stop shop for the story, secrets, and shenanigans of a popcorn-fueled theme

park journalist. I'm Carly Waisell, and as you know, I went to the Walt Disney studio a lot. I heard all about D23 news, and the tickets go on sale tomorrow for the majority of D23 gold members. You already know this. It happens tomorrow, but I just wanted to flag it up top because I am recording this right after I went. It was an absolute gas. I posted a bunch of videos about it. If you don't follow me on Instagram and TikTok, you should check it out there. It's just so nice to be like, oh, it's happening. Like we are leading up to that big in-person event. Because the way I always feel about Disney fandom, it's kind of like we all go to

school online. You know what I mean? Like we all take our little high school or college courses

online and then sometimes we run into each other at the park and sometimes we're all together

every two years for D23. And it's just nice to know that like we will be in our safe space

among Disney fans finding out Disney news so very soon. It is April.

It is literally April Fool's Day. No fools about it. And in August, we are going to be

bombarded with news about TV shows, about movies, and most importantly to me, about theme parks

and about cruises. So I absolutely cannot wait. And speaking of

things I'm looking forward to, we finally got Scott Guston on the podcast, which you'll hear

what he might have been on before. We don't know. And I'm too tired to go back and check. Because we

at this point have six years of archives and I just don't want to go through them. I realized I have been hosting this podcast longer than I haven't been. In my career covering theme parks and reporting on Disney, I have had very amusing longer than I have not. Isn't that wild? I feel like we just started yesterday, but I guess when you think about it, it's been a lot of episodes. It's been a lot of work. We already have one of Musa-Paloosa under our belt with more to come, TBD.

But, I mean, not TBD, TBA, T-B-A, T-B-Nounced, we are currently determining and we will soon. Not soon. We will eventually announce. Not eventually, not soon, somewhere right in the middle. Listen, this is why I'm not even going to talk about this.

All you need to know is, one, make sure you are on top of D23 ticketing, which is tomorrow,

and two, buckle up for a very, very fun episode.

Happy April Fool's Day, everyone.

Stick around.

We have so much ahead with Scott Guston.

Hi, Becky.

Hi, Carly.
