WDW Parkhoppers Audio Show #12 – Top 5 Disney Traditions
Welcome to the WDW Parkhopper Audio Show #12 for the week of September 27, 2011! It’s a very exciting time to be a part of Walt Disney World Community, as this week we celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the Magic Kingdom! On October 1, 1971, Roy Disney dedicated this most magic place in the memory of his brother Walt, who passed away before the park was completed! Based off of a recent WDW Parkhopper blog post, we thought that we would take this special occasion to reminiscence about some of our Walt Disney World traditions that we try to do every time we visit the parks. Parkhoppers Sid and John…
