  • Ep. 59 | Disneyland 1986-1995
    Jun 23 2025
    EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
    From the dazzling debut of Captain EO—a groundbreaking 3D Michael Jackson spectacle—to the arrival of Star Tours and the birth of Disney Dollars, Disneyland in the late 80s and early 90s was a whirlwind of innovation and spectacle. The park saw circus acts parading down Main Street, the opening of Splash Mountain, and the rise of Fantasmic!—marking a new era of blockbuster entertainment and immersive experiences. As the decade progressed, beloved attractions closed, new lands like Mickey’s Toontown debuted, and Indiana Jones Adventure roared to life, forever changing the landscape of Disneyland. Join us as we relive the magic, the mishaps, and the memories that shaped the Happiest Place on Earth during this unforgettable decade.

  • Ep. 58 | Disneyland 1976-1985
    Jun 16 2025
    EPISODE DESCRIPTION:
    Last week, we wrapped up Disneyland’s second decade, and now we’re diving headfirst into the incredible changes of the late 1970s and early 1980s. This era saw the park celebrate America’s Bicentennial, welcome iconic attractions like Space Mountain and Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and debut the beloved Main Street Electrical Parade. We watched Fantasyland transform into a Bavarian fairytale, ticket books disappear in favor of single admission, and Disneyland finally open its gates 365 days a year. With new leadership, legendary parades, and milestone celebrations, Disneyland’s third decade was truly a time of innovation, nostalgia, and magic for millions of guests.
