    As we head towards our final episode April 1st, recording at Tiki A Go Go (join if you can!). Come revisit when the lads sat down for a chat with special guest, artist Shawna Marie Tice "The Pleated Peacock". A talented creative who currently does everything from making gorgeous floral crowns to interior environments such as Club 616 and the Mai-Kai. It was a blast discussing her time at the Park including: Working on parades such as Mulan and Hercules, The very first It's a Small World Holiday, the ill-fated Light Magic, a major Enchanted Tiki Room refurbishment and much more.
