07:08Okay, so if you're like me and you don't want to miss any of it, here's why.
07:12Whenever you discover Disney here, be it on stage or walking through those giant mouse ears, Mickey Mouse ear arches, you'll discover there's something special in seeing ourselves.
07:23Okay, in Disney stories or behind the scenes as a creator of Disney stories, there's something magical in meeting Mickey Mouse or standing side by side with Adora Milaje or seeing yourself in a virtual arena.
07:39That's something you see that's special.
07:41It's called the power of joy.
07:44Say it with me.
07:46The power of joy.
07:49All right.
07:49Now you know what it is.
