0:00.0	Welcome back to another edition of the Disney dish podcast with Jim Hill. It's me, Lantesta, and this is our show for the week of Shmer's Day, May 6th, 2024. And happy Mother's Day this week to all of the moms out there.
0:11.0	On the show today, news and to listen to questions. Then in our
0:14.3	main segment, Jim and I looked back at Stitches Supersonic Celebration, one of the
