Speaking of lower airfares, I do have some more good news for you. So as you notice, I track airfare fluctuation super closely every month. And this month was particularly fascinating. So we just got fresh data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics last week. The report dropped in May, but it refers to April prices. Just keep that in mind.

But as it turns out, April airfares are down 8% year over year. That is not something we usually hear. No, I know. And it's very shocking. And I am sympathetic to the many readers I talked to out there who say it feels like travel is more expensive than ever.

You look at these trends like we just talked about with Delta, where they're marketing the chance to, you know, select your own travel experience. And what it really is, is them trying to seduce you with a low fare only to get you to pay more once they have your attention.

I did. Just last week, Disneyland hosted a big media event. It was all about their 70th anniversary, which kicked off on May 16th. Now, technically, Disneyland's 70th anniversary is on July 17th. But you know, Disney loves to extend the birthday as long as possible.

So they have a new nighttime parade, a new daytime parade, a new show on Main Street featuring an actual Walt Disney audio animatronic. And since everyone loves food, there are more than 70 new food items. Did you try any of those foods? Oh, you know, I did, Megan. That is the best part of Disney. I love a good churro. And the color palette for the 70th is all purple.

So probably the most iconic food I ate was the 70th anniversary churro rolled in ube sugar to give it that purple hue.

Okay, what else did you have? The other great thing I ate was the cowboy fries. These were at the Golden Horseshoe. This is one of the few restaurants that was there on opening day in 1955. What was not there on opening day was this wild concoction. Fries, nacho cheese, sautéed ground beef, burger sauce, butter, pickles.

What about animal style fries at In-N-Out? This kind of was giving me that energy, but more protein. It sounds too wet. Too much going on. Okay, so you are making me sound like I am way too obsessive about all the Disney food, all the Disney stuff, which maybe I am. But I need to tell you, Megan, I worked at Disney in high school. Did you know that?
