Creator's Key Takeaways

i will wait and see first and foremost everybody take a minute if you have a deity or if you just want to send good vibrations out to all of our staff that are going to be working on the 19th because god bless them it's going to be a tough day

i think the reality is genie plus is something that has existed at disneyland for the last few years it was a popular program a lot of people enjoyed it including myself

i don't think i'll ever use um in particular lightning lien um but again because of our proximity to the parks here we are kind of people's default um miniature vacation kingdom of the world

i hope this fails i hope it blows up in their face
