Living in Celebration, Florida & Enjoying the Walt Disney World Resort as a Local with Jason - BOGP 2722

Today we are very excited to have Jason from the BOGP Clubhouse joining Scott and Mike on the show to hear all about what it is like to live in Celebration, Florida! We discuss how he and his awesome wife Veronica ended up there and what it is like being 10 minutes away from the magic! We also hear more about the town itself, including amazing celebrations around the holidays, and how Jason and Vern keep the magic alive even with everything right there at their fingertips 24/7! I think we have all dreamed of living in the shadow of the Castle, but they really do! We hope you can continue the conversation with us this week in the Be Our Guest Podcast Clubhouse at www.beourguestpodcast.com/clubhouse! Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!
