Question for Michele:
This question is from Tom in North Carolina asked, “Michele if you had to close 1 attraction/show/parade/fireworks at each of the 4 Walt Disney World parks, which would it be? Also, if you could bring back 1 attraction/show/parade/fireworks to each one of the parks what would that be?”
Have a question you want me to ask Michele on the show? Email me at [email protected] and I will ask it.
If you would like to submit a question or show idea to Michele for her Daydream Believing Podcast that comes out on Thursdays, email her at [email protected]
