    Crazy Times at the Walt Disney World Resort - BOGP 2583 Oct 31, 2024

    Today Mike, Pam and Rikki dedicate our show to the BOGP Lizards who are kicking off the runDisney season at the Wine & Dine Half-Marathon Weekend at Walt Disney World today! Have fun and enjoy every mile! Today's show was inspired by Lizard Jodi and her crew who are attending Mickey's Not So Scary Halloween Party on Halloween Night and pulling an "all-nighter" and going directly to the 5K race after! That got us sharing stories of crazy things we have done at Walt Disney World that had us at the point of happiest exhaustion in many cases, but full of memories that we will never forget! We also talk about if and how Disney could bring back "special days" like the ones we discuss today so that we can do these things again! Please share your thoughts over on the Discord channel at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse. We hope you enjoy today’s podcast! Please visit our website at www.beourguestpodcast.com.
