We're back with another show exploring the 100 Years of Wonder that is the Walt Disney Company. This week, we take a look back at another interesting time in the company's history with our Disney At 100 - The '50s & '60s episode. Big things were happening within this time frame and most of it was great. However, there was also a big moment that would change the company, forever. That's why we're calling this segment, The Best of Times & The Worst of Times.
In this show, we referenced several other episodes that focus on specific time frames within the era in more detail. Here are the links to these episodes if you'd like to hear more!
Once we complete our Disney At 100 - The '50s & '60s segment, it's time for the Disney Stories of the Week. In this episode, we tell you about a lot of interesting Walt Disney World information. Including some fun, new character meet and greets that are coming soon throughout the resort. We also share interesting EPCOT news about the park's future. And we discuss when you'll be able to snag a dessert party spot for the return of Happily Ever After.
As always, we wrap it all up with tips that might help you on your next vacation.

Going into this week, we originally planned to discuss a completely different topic. Then came Tuesday and everything changed. Disney made so many interesting announcements and we knew we had to talk about them all. So, our focus of this week's episode is now all about A Big Week Of Disney Theme Parks News. We share all the biggest stories of the week and tell you our thoughts on them all.
Since A Big Week Of Disney Theme Park News takes up the bulk of this week's show, we only have an abbreviated portion that is delegated to the other Disney Stories of the Week. However, we do have something to bring up. That's that the Walt Disney Company had a very "Golden" evening at this week's celebration of the best of television and motion pictures.
