Two bi-coastal besties—a dancer and a singer—catch up on life and share all the things we've learned after combined decades in theme park entertainment and beyond. With humor and a little sass, we dig into how working in the parks prepped us for everything from corporate gigs to new creative roles. Whether it’s navigating third-party contracts, avoiding the burnout of seasonal work, or figuring out how the grind of entertainment shaped our stamina and hustle, we’re here for the real talk.
No matter where we go, we always seem to end up right back where we started—theme parks (the champagne bar in EPCOT, if we're being super specific). If you want honest, fun and informative talks about life in and out of theme parks? We’ve got you covered. Thanks for being here!
