The holidays are a big deal at Walt Disney World — and the planning starts each summer. As such, today’s episode is packed with Christmas cheer! One of the biggest Christmas fans (and CEO of the company), Steph, joins CJ and Danny to compare, contrast, and ultimately choose between Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party and Jollywood Nights. Does the classic Magic Kingdom party take the crown, or is it the newer, jazzier gig in town that won the hosts over? The glitz and glam of Jollywood or the nostalgic feel of snoap on Main Street: Join in the fun to see which takes the fruitcake.
Also in this episode, CJ brings another truly challenging This or That scenario, with a holiday twist. It’s a difficult choice that had Danny and Steph on different sides of the coin. An empty Magic Kingdom is a piece of the puzzle, and we can’t wait to hear your answers!
As always, the podcast kicks off with some listener involvement, so keep those emails and calls coming! From some favorite merch of a listener to a question regarding inclement weather, you always bring something fun to discuss and our hosts and community love it. Keep those ice breakers coming! If you want to shop Steph’s favorite Circa 1955 scent, EXCLUSIVELY returning for our listeners, check out the Parks and Pages Collection: luxillume.com/collections/parks-and-pages
