There was some big news yesterday! Shanghai Disneyland has an opening date and new social distancing details. Theresa was following the Shareholder call and has some specifics we wanted to talk about - mostly in how this might playout for the US park opening plans. We discuss the opening plans, how we feel about all this, and what the new normal might look like for the parks around the world. And then we play the fun game: what do you want to do first when the parks reopen? Surprisingly, we all three end up visiting the same park (and it's not Magic Kingdom!)
