In this episode, I was excited to be joined by Holly Wood-Crawford of the Grand Circle Tour Podcast and Marvelous on Mainstreet to talk about her fandom and living close to Disneyland. We don't talk a lot about Disneyland, so it was really fun to get her insight as a Southern California local who regularly attends the park. We also talk about the transformation of Disney's California Adventure and the excitement people have around the Pixar Pier, Cars Land, and Avengers Campus! This was a lot of fun and I hope you enjoy. Video of this visit is available at https://youtu.be/bZ3jm4KcdN8.
