See WDW! Near & Far

04/10/23 - Disney parks have always contained a certain level of weirdness. Whether opening gateways to strange fantasy worlds or building attractions with bizarre characters, the company used to let their artists express their creativity in weird ways. This created the feel of the parks. Now, imagineering and the company seem angled more toward IP driven attractions and merchandising. But, there are remnants of the weird still left in the parks. In this episode, we explore what is still weird at EPCOT. But first, we talk about John's week in the parks. We finish up with a discussion on how his social media performed. Thanks for tuning in. We will be back soon with another episode!
