We start the second of our two news-heavy episodes with offering our support to those who are and have been suffering under the racial tension occurring within the nation. We then give our usual updates on Disney + viewing, bouncing between a Documentary, a classic cartoon, and the "next, next, next gen" of High School Musical-style film. Our news for the week dives into the exclusive Passholder experience during Universal Studio Orlando's opening dates. Following this, Disney Parks divulges some more of the changes expected to come as they plan their re-opening, while making a major announcement regarding (among other things) temporary removal of the FastPass system.
