Hyperion Adventures Podcast: The Disney Podcast Of Positivity

Today, we have a special, bonus episode of the Hyperion Adventures Podcast. We welcome aboard former Walt Disney World Executive Vice President of Operations, Lee Cockerell, to the show. He sits down with us to discuss Reopening Disney. He talks about all the things the Walt Disney Company does to ensure the safety of their guests and how they might implement new measures in the future.

Mr. Cockerell was heading up Operations at the Walt Disney World Resort in 2001, when 9/11 brought our country to a halt. So, he brings a ton of legitimate experience to the conversation and has directly experienced the efforts Disney has made in the past to curb the fear of their guests.

With Shanghai Disneyland opening today, and Disney Springs set to open in a couple of weeks, this is a timely conversation you're going to want to check out.
