Jim Murphy
Co-Host of Opposite Attractions: A Theme Park Design Show
Jim has been studying the wonderful world of Disney for over twenty years, though it feels like longer. He is a former cast member of EPCOT under the Walt Disney World College Program, and has a decent Mickey Mouse impression when he wants to put some effort into it. His favorite theme park attractions are the World Famous Jungle Cruise, the Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan's Flight, and Sounds Dangerous Starring Drew Carey. That last one might be a joke.
Have a magical day.
Jim Murphy has hosted 175 Episodes.
