Episode 117-Jim Shore/The World outside the parks

This week Jonathan is taking a week off but we have Shane Roberts from Communicore Online co-hosting the show. It's a full show this week featuring 2 main segments. The first is an interview with artist Jim Shore. Jim has done many figures and sculpture designs that are sold all over the Disney parks and he'll give us some insight on his relationship with Disney, what goes into the design process, and much more.
The second segment is a roundtable discuss with Shane, Glenn Whelan, and Marissa Gordon on things to do outside of the parks. With all the attractions that the parks have to offer
it's easy to pass right by all that Walt Disney World has to offer outside of the theme parks so we're going to talk about all The World has to offer without charging you for a day's admission to the parks.
