Mike, Rikki, and Pam are here today with a suggestion from Listener Chris that we become CEO of the Disney theme parks for a day and get to make three changes. One change would cost little to no money to the company, one would be a major and very expensive change to the Walt Disney World Resort, and the third would be right there in the middle. What would we do to make our favorite place just a bit better? Hear our suggestions and then share yours on social media or with Mike on the BOGP Open Line Sunday night!
