Thank you guys for keeping the podcast up and running through the holidays. It helped pass the time today during the SLOW holidays.

I'm a "Leave it". I've been in the parks once Thanksgiving. Never again. Now to enjoy a holiday, I will do Late September for Halloween and Early December for Chirstmas to enjoy decorations.

But Christine's story about Cast Members takes me back to when Disney was so magic you could cry.

By the way, we did "Into the Woods" for the Stone Family Christmas Disney movie. The 13 year old was a bit shocked it was a bit dark but still loved it. What did everyone else think?

See you ALL at #runICOT. Get the T-Shirts so I can recognize you (and its for a good cause).

Good morning from the east side of the east side! Nikki and I are recovering from last night's kitchen dance party - courtesy of spotify and Frexinet.

So I am drinking coffee watching my kids enjoy the 1st snow of the year ( finally!) while Nikki reminded me that as the "aunt" , she has rights to take a few pix, smile and wave...and then go back to bed.

I was so excited to have a new podcast on Christmas! I usually listen a few times over the course of a few days. Listening to Disney chit chat with Intercot really makes washing dishes and wrapping presents so much better!

Merry Christmas to all of you and all of Icot too!

For the record, in defense of my status as America's Barista, I had been up since 4 a.m. that day because I was working as a bike marshall for a 15K. When you called out my name I wasn't entirely sure where I was.

I haven't seen the movie version of "Into the Woods" yet, but I loved the play. I've seen various productions of it and it's pretty solid every time. The story isn't about the "happily ever after" but, rather, what comes along with it. I imagine the transition between the granting of the wish and the aftermath is much clearer on the stage because it's separated by an intermission.
