We are joined by friend of the podcast (and friend in real life) Dave to discuss what Disney was like from the very beginning. Dave started working at Disney in 1975 as a bartender before joining Disney University and helping to write training programs for all sorts of roles throughout Walt Disney World. This was a really cool interview, and if you like imagining what a day in the park was like back then (or want to relive it if you experienced it first hand) this is an episode you don't want to miss!

We also preview the upcoming 2026 Flower and Garden Festival menus (and do a much better job this time), and talk about what we're most excited to try. And sadly, we mourn the loss of one of the greatest menu items ever to grace an Epcot festival.
