I've been wanting to build up a collection of Disney snowglobes for quite some time, and this was a really fascinating historical tidbit. It's wild the way 9/11 affected completely-unrelated industries in profound ways. Thanks for sharing this with us!

Honestly, I’m not sure how I came across this video, and I have to say, it was very interesting!! I’m yet to check out the rest of the channel, but if you made this video slightly more structured, I could see it becoming a success. Keep up the good work

Thank you! Yes, we pulled this video out of a section of our podcast called "I Want That Too". Some of the references and comments tie back to part of the episode, but thought this was a good video to produce to stand alone. Really appreciate the comment and checking us out.
