Chris Sinagoga | Saturday, July 1, 2023 at 2:25PM I'd like to quote myself from last year:
32 people in total were at the Disney Doozy this morning - which is actually the second-most out of our 13 years running it. Things took a minute to get rolling, but once we started I actually think this is about as "fair" and organized as I can remember a workout going...
Ah those calm, serene days of 32 people at a Theme Workout. In an attempt to keep the numbers in the mid-30's, we waited an extra week until 4th of July weekend to open up the Summer 2023 Theme Workouts with our classic Disney Doozy. So, of course, we set an all-time Theme Workout record (and weekend record, breaking the mark from two weeks ago) with 46 people in attendance participating.
The set-up did not go smooth at all; the first station (Hakuna Matata Tabata Squats) started 50 minutes into the session. A few reminders to myself, as these posts mostly are: adjustable weight on Bambi's Bumper Thumpers is a must; consult Mr. Mark about layout and flow of stations; assign group to stations at the start myself instead of letting them pick, even if it takes longer; keep the "competitive" group and "check-the-box" groups like this time. But maaaaaaannnnn... if this is the tradeoff for a crowd like this on Theme Workouts, I'll gladly accept.
Jessica and Cecilia claimed another Disney Doozy victory for a second year in a row, and you'll notice I used the phrase "claimed" in the same way Nebraska "claimed" the 1997 National Championship; there are way too many variables and way too little policing to be able to outright declare anyone a winner. But claim away! I personally enjoy having enough gray area in these workouts to encourage some bickering and cheating accusations.
The full results can be seen here.

Highlights:
The one thing that is not up for debate or bickering is the Champions Club, as a whole, is off to it's best start in our 14 Summers doing this thing. I've always said the Disney Doozy is my personal favorite Theme Workout of the year (and maybe a little ahead of Christmas), and I appreciate you guys so much for coming out this way on a random Saturday in July and making this place live. In fact, I figured the turnout was so good today you all earned a little sneak peek into our next Theme Workout...
