We’re carrying the banner this week on the DFPP, as the crew is joined by our first of many guests from TouringPlans.com, Henry Work, as we discuss Newsies. The cult classic by Disney has many admirers and detractors, but we go through it in depth with Henry as we kick off TouringPlans Month.
We love TouringPlans.com, not only because Todd and Ryan both blog there, but because they are the official sponsor of our show! Check out TouringPlans.com for all the tools you need to save time and money at Walt Disney World or Disneyland. No matter if it’s the Crowd Calendar, the Touring Plans or the Lines mobile app, TouringPlans.com has you covered.
