Just a few episodes in an we already had to do a two parter. Katie returns to help me break down what's headed to Disney Parks and Experiences around the world in 2021 and beyond. Even with the year we all just experienced and the uncertainty surrounding many of Disney's plans there is still so much to look forward to in the years ahead. So for part 1 of our very first 2 parter, we're covering all that's new and coming soon to Walt Disney World!
From the 50th anniversary celebration to new rollercoasters, a park transformation, a galactic new resort and even a new circus...disney style, we cover everything headed to the most magical place on earth.
