    Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Erin, Ryan, and the Ghost of Sean as they discuss where they would go first if they had the park to themselves, their favorite Disney influencers, the Disney craft-y projects that they are the most proud of, and the Disney cartoons they would like to see get a reboot.

Question 1: If you had the entire park to yourself for just one day with your immediate family, what ride or attraction would you run to first? Question 2: Who is your favorite Disney influencer (excluding Hub Crawl and DLWeekly)? Question 3: What is a Disney craft-y project you’re particularly proud of? Feel free to flex the definition of “craft-y” (think: Legos, 3D prints, room remodels, etc.) Question 4: Darkwing Duck is coming back! Who else needs to be dusted off and brought back to the small screen? Bonus Question: With the recent announcement from D23 about the re imagining of Tomorrowland. If you were to create a themed day , like dapper day, or gay days. How would you show up to the park for a “Tomorrowland day” would it be Walt’s version of the future, which we’ve already passed, or would it be what “we”imagine the future to be?

A long sit-down (like Chef’s Table at Napa Rose), a quick service (like Docking Bay 7), and a snack (churro cart)? Question 3: DCL offers special sailings with special “Days at Sea”. Currently they offer Marvel and Pixar but have done Star Wars in the past. Typically these days feature special shows, unique characters, special food menus, etc. Question 4: Do you think the parks need more shade? How would you suggest they accomplish adding more if yes? Bonus Question: Inspired by new Muppets content😍 If you could have a new muppet movie where they retold a Disney story or turned a ride into a Muppet movie, what would it be?
