- Our first letter is from Steve and he tells us that he also listens to the Soarin’ music on takeoff during his ‘real’ airplane flights. If you recall, Brian mentioned this a few episodes back as a fun thing to do when you go on an airplane. Thanks Steve!
- Joe wrote us next, flashing back to our photography episode. EPCOT had the largest and busiest photo developing center, when compared to all the others across the country. Joe also gave us some insight into the old Splash Mountain on-ride photo system, which was the first ride to ever offer this service. Super fascinating insight into the system!
- Finally, we heard from Craig with an amazing celebrity story. If you recall, back in 2012/13, Toy Story Midway Mania was one of the biggest rides on property. With multi-hour wait times, it was a must-do that everyone was clamoring to ride each and every day. Well Taylor Swift decided to ruin some vacations one day back then, and Craig tells us all about it. Thanks Craig, we love a celebrity story from the parks.
