What Year @ Walt Disney World? - The Game - BOGP 2886
Today Mike, Pam, and Rikki are trying a new game to kick off the weekend! We call it, "What Year @ Walt Disney World? - The Game!" It's pretty simple. You name a Walt Disney World restaurant, resort, attraction, promotion, etc. and everyone has to name the year it made it's debut! No using Google to help! Then, for every year that you miss, you get a point - low score wins! Play right along with us and let us know what you think of this game! (If you didn't enjoy it, we will throw it out! We do hope you have some fun with us! Please share your thoughts over on the Discord channel at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse.
