Welcome to Journey Into Disney, a podcast that deep dives into the history and memories of The Walt Disney Company. In each episode, your non-ghost hosts Mat and Ally will examine fascinating stories of creativity, learn more about favourite rides, films, merch and more, and bring their very own experiences and memories along for the ride.

In this, our very first episode, Ally looks at the merchandising phenomenon of Mickey Hats and Minnie Ears, and then Mat takes on the wildest ride in the wilderness - Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.
