It’s been great seeing all the feedback to the first episode of “The Rohdes, Less Traveled.” It was quite a creative challenge figuring out how to do this with the stuff we have around the house…but it was really fun, and I’m glad it’s fun to watch.
The second episode in the series focuses on ageing and patina. We hope you’ll find it as enjoyable as the first!
Stay tuned for more #DisneyMagicMoments like this as we continue “The Rohdes, Less Traveled” series in upcoming weeks.

And who better to bring incredible storytelling warmth to these eye-catching visuals than the series award-winning narrator and fan-favorite Josh Gad (“Frozen,” Frozen II”).
As we eagerly count down the days to the series’ debut on Disney+, I’m pleased to reveal the stunning poster art for the “Magic of Disney’s Animal Kingdom,” which showcases the beauty of the natural world and the passion our team of animal care experts exhibit when caring for the animals who call our parks and resorts home. I’m extremely proud of the work our incredible cast members accomplish each and every day and overjoyed you will soon get to see them in action.
