Okay, everyone - here is the second list, with everyone I couldn't fit on the first and more besides. Circulate as widely as you did the first one, and let me know who else I've missed! So happy to have such a great community over here. 😊

Created a Disney Studies Starter Pack - I'll add to it, but figure this will make it easier with the big influx.
