What’s Your Disney Story? Getting To Know Listener Zach – BOGP 2852

Today we are trying somewhat of a new concept here on the show with “What’s Your Disney Story?” This came to me over Marathon Weekend, as the theme of the weekend was different genres of stories. runDisney announcer Riley was out in the corrals each morning interviewing folks before the races asking simply, “What’s Your Story? Why are you here?” and the answers were amazing! I thought this would be a great way to get to know some members of our community! Today, I ask how Listener Zach from Connecticut first became a Disney fan, memories of his first Disney trip, first encounters with the Disney online community, thoughts on being a “Disney Adult” and why he keeps coming back! We share lots of laughs and memories along the way! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse!

Comparing Experiences Apples-to-Apples at Disneyland vs. Walt Disney World – BOGP 2848

Today, Mike and Scott are back with a topic that was suggested by Listener Craig from Louisville during the Disneyland Half-Marathon Weekend!
