Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Russell Flores and David Koenig as they discuss the next big move from Disney, movie promotion, San Fransokyo, and Walt's hologram! Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support Question 1: What do you think the next big thing from Disney will be? Movie, park, acquisition, etc. Question 2: Is Disney doing enough in the parks to promote their upcoming and current films? What else could/should they be doing? Question 3: Are you excited about the conversion of Pacific Warf to San Fransokyo? or should Disney slow down on the parks and work on maintenance of existing attractions. Question 4: I'll ask about the Walt hologram… what crosses the line: a Walt animatronic? Walt walkaround? Walt plush? Patreon Bonus Question: Big One: State of Disney now that Iger has returned. Thoughts?
