Creator's Key Takeaways
I will never walk into that park in Paris and never uh be swept away emotionally by that main street.
It is the best entry and in any theme park on Earth. And it is inarguable.
I'm excited about this. This ride was pretty run down. Um, it's good to see.
I think all the magic of Disney guest service that maybe was lost at the parks still exists on Disney Cruise Line.
