The History of Frontierland

It's no secret that Disneyland is always in constant flux.  Rides and attractions coming, going, and getting new life breathed into them, always trying to capture the imagination of it's guests.  Diving into the history of Frontierland, you get a sense of real change within the park.  Almost as if Frontierland was this weird idea that never really set right in Walt's mind.  That's what we thought, anyway. Check out our runthrough of the history of Frontierland - including the Indian Village, the Frito Kid, and back-scratching bears!

Thinking about Frontierland? The Mark Twain and the Rivers of America are not something we generally think of ... are we crazy?

Disneyland has so much to offer, from rides to food to people-watching.  But if you have kids, you have inevitably wondered ...

What To Do in Disneyland When Your Kids Are Asleep

That's right, sometimes those little bundles of energy run out and need naps. Sometimes, those naps coincide with parents needing a bit of a Disney break (as shocking as that sounds). While Disneyland proper doesn't have much in the way of adult-focused entertainment, California Adventure and Downtown Disney does.   Of course, Disneyland is not Vegas, so the only thing for Mom and Dad to do when they want to get away while still getting the most out of their vacation is to grab a beer and relax. To help us find the best little secret spots in and around Disneyland, we brought Dan on from MouseBrew over on Twitter (and Instagram and YouTube)  and got his take on the craft beer and coffee scene in everyone's favorite vacation spot.   So if you have ever sat around in that post-child calm and wondered what to do in Disneyland when your kids are asleep, this is the show for you!

 

The hotel is this way, dear. Daddy needs a break!

Ever want to go to an unofficial Disneyland day?  Here's your chance!

Unofficial days in the park are sort of on the rise in the last few years - mostly due to Harry Potter Day and Dapper Day, however there are way more of these than you'd think.

We did our homework and give you a rundown on every single of the unofficial Disneyland days and what that means for you - discounted tickets, hotels stays, etc.  So plug in and see which group of Disneyland fans you most align with!

Of all the tours that Disneyland has to offer, we were the most excited about being able to give you the Walk In Walt's Disneyland Footsteps tour review, because the tour ends on the highest of high notes: a tour through Walt's apartment, located above the firehouse on Main Street.  Cast members can't even get in here, that's how exclusive it is.

To score our entry, we had to join the tour group and walk around the park, listening to audio of Walt talking about the park, giving speeches, and some other neat audio.  If you have ever thought about taking this tour, listen to our recap of it and decide if it's for you, since the price tag is over $100 for the thing!

Plus, we cover a bit of Disney News and drop the Fact of the Show.

Disneyland has the small touches down ...

Our tour guide Ernesto - great personality and knew a ton!

As part of the tour, we got to visit the dedication plaque and here the speech Walt gave on opening day.

The only non-exciting part of the tour was hanging with Mr. Lincoln ...

Yes, that is in fact Miley Cyrus in the same company as Michael Jackson and Elvis. You can be shocked now.

Goofy trying to hear a bit about Walt's apartment before we head up!

You are allowed to take one single photo inside Walt's flat. This was ours.

Looking at using Ridemax for your next Disneyland trip?  Check out our review first!

One thing about every family that visits Disneyland is the rush to hit every ride they can, right?  How often do you pass a large family arguing about which ride to hit next - junior wants to dive bomb Splash Mountain, and sister really wants to see Small World.  Again.  Well, there's a web app for that!

Ridemax is a software/website that will actually plan your day in Disneyland for you, so you can do everything your group wants to and not leave a single thing out.  Sounds too good to be true, but it does work.  How well?  Tune in and find out as we cover Ridemax!

We also go through some listener feedback, hear how folks on our Facebook page plan their days at the parks, and the Fact of the Show will have you trying to find room in your house for another cat.

Even Frank here is shocked that you waited this long.

Bonus:  We never noticed that the lantern hooks look like Captain Hook's iron appendage.  Neat!
