Ep. 278 - Disney Wish Trip Report!

<description>&lt;p&gt;We are so fortunate this week to speak with former president of Walt Disney Imagineering, Bob Weis. Bob has a new book out next week called &lt;em&gt;Dream Chasing. &lt;/em&gt;It covers his years working for Imagineering, and some of the notable projects and parks he was able to work on in his tenure. Can&amp;#39;t recommend this book enough, it belongs on every Disney fan&amp;#39;s shelf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
