Today was the first day Disneyland was closed so we decided to use the time to do another show. It has been months since our last podcast but today seemed appropriate considering the lockdown the country is in. A big special thanks to our friend Jack for joining us. He was pretty bummed his trip to America was ruined but he's in good spirits considering the situation.

What does this mean for AP’s? A statement was released this morning for WDW AP’s stating their passes would be extended the number of days the parks are closed.

The 1st being the day after JFK was killed, Then the Northridge Earthquake and lastly, on 9/11.
