We are absolutely delighted to be joined on the podcast this week by RJ and Suzanne Ogren who worked at Walt Disney World during the 70s, 80s and 90s.

We talk to them both about just some of their memories of their times working at the parks, specifically The Magic Kingdom and they tell us a couple of their favourite stories from their book, Together In The Dream.

RJ was one of the four original  management artists in charge of creative control at The Magic Kingdom in the 1970s and worked under the guidance of Disney Legends that include Marc Davis and  Leota Toombs.

Suzanne worked as a monorail pilot as well as a costumed character and then moved into entertainment management at Walt Disney World.

You can purchase their book, Together In The Dream here and find out more on their website at Rjogren.com.
