  • HHN eps too late

    I don’t understand why the HHN episodes are being released now. The backstories would be so much better and relevant to early visitors if they came out just before the event began. I went on opening night so went in blind to the event and now have little appeal to listen to the eps… Please consider releasing earlier next time.

  • Don't like new hosts

    Original hosts seemed much more genuine when talking about the parks (since they were team members.)

    New hosts just feel very inauthentic
