Sound is a crucial part of what makes Disney parks feel magical… and it all starts inside the closely-guarded rooms of Walt Disney Imagineering.

Then, they reveal the surprising story of how one of Disney’s most iconic songs got a brand new verse, more than half a century after its debut.

And if you're on Apple Podcasts drop a rating and, if you have time, a review. I read all of them. Thanks. For a few years now my wife has been a big fan of Quince. It's a company that sells stylish high quality clothing at surprisingly low prices. A couple months ago I got my first order from Quince and I've been really impressed.
