That’s it for today; we hope you enjoyed this Daily Recap. Thanks for stopping by, and we’ll see you tomorrow!
It’ll be interesting to see how that denial of benefits to third party cast works out. I think it’s a cheap shot at the people who served them and their guests. All on stage and working together to make the experience should get the same benefits.
Also, where are our parades at WDW??? Are they holding something back? A surprise? One can only hope. Right now, DL looks more fun to be at.
