Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

Which structures at WDW’s Magic Kingdom may be repurposed as “relaxation zones” for Guests who temporarily need to remove their masks while visiting that theme park

Which hurricane seemed poised to flatten Epcot’s Mickey Arm just before that theme park’s 15-month-long millennium celebration was about to get underway

What role did the Millennium Icon Tower play in the Sorcerer’s Hat being built at Disney-MGM Studios theme park just ahead of the start of WDW’s “100 Years of Magic” celebration in the Fall of 2001

How likely is it that WDW’s theme parks will soft open ahead of July 11th & 15th

Why are Universal Orlando’s three theme parks able to open in early June while Disney is holding off opening its Florida parks ‘til mid-July
