Dateline Mousetalgia - > Mousetalgia FastPass!

In this week's episode we share our fun experiences with listeners during our Dapper Day Zoom Calls, "Date Nite in Quarantineland" and our appreciation for another family bonus offered to fans in the return of the Disney Bedtime Hotline. There are more updates to Disney executive management including Bob Chapek being appointed to the Disney Board, Bob Iger appointed to the COVID-19 Business Recovery Task Force and stocks continuing to be unpredictable amongst the conversations and rumors swirling around possible park reopening. With a recent arrest of someone breaking into Disney California Adventure, it shows some fans cannot wait for the parks to reopen. Disney continues to attempt to cheer us up with the televised ABC's Disney Family Singalong while announcing to 2020 Grads the cancellation of all grad nights. Thankfully, we are uplifted by the #DisneyStrong on display at the Anaheim Resort via hotel window patterns of hearts and Mickey icons and the heartwarming action taken place by cast members to raise and lower the flag each and every day. Perhaps for some even more encouraging, Disney Plus announces the new docuseries offering a glimpse inside the making of The Mandalorian with the new series "Disney Gallery: The Mandalorian". Disney runners are excited to see the release of new Virtual Disney Runs with super cool new medals! To end the show we bring back the second half of our This or That game with Scott aka @disneylandnurse and Shantelle aka @disneylandtourguide joining us to choose between extinct attractions or keeping our current ones! We also reviewed the question of the week responses from all of our lovely listeners and we ask the crew the new question of the week!
