Ep. 215: Thank You Josh - Remembering easyWDW

Hello everyone.  Today's show was very bittersweet, as we remembered our good friend, Josh Humphrey.  As you know, Josh was one of the very best in the WDW planning "business," but more than that he was a great friend to many.  Listen in as we share our thoughts on Mr. easyWDW and revisit some of his best moments from our show.  

Join us to laugh, to cry, and to remember one of the very best.  Thank you, Josh.

Ep. 213: Trip-a-polooza!
