Josh D'Amaro just became Disney's new CEO, so naturally, Jen and Frank needed to tell him their ideas!

Episode 423 of Dillo's Diz is their official open letter to the new boss: a heartfelt, funny, and very passionate rundown of everything they want brought back to the Disney parks. From beloved attractions to lost experiences, they're making their wishlist heard.

Along the way they also touch on the Oscars, break down Disney Cruise Line's new commercial, and get into plenty of pop culture tangents.
