On January 27th, Disneyland hosted the kick-off celebration for the Walt Disney Company’s 100th Anniversary!! New statues & decor, Nighttime Spectaculars, food, merchandise, and a NEW attraction (for Disneyland) debuted and we were there to celebrate. To share in the excitement, Mike Celestino from Laughingplace.com and Who’s the Bossk podcast is back to share his experience from the special Press Event held that week.

Have a listen and tell us what you think about all the new, shiny things!    We round out our show with a tribute to Cindy Williams. 2023 hit another low last Wednesday, January 25th, when we lost another big piece of Richard’s childhood when Cindy Williams passed away at the age of 75.
