We just came back from Disneyland, which means we get to talk about all the new things that came to the parks and we got to experience. It was a big trip for us for a number of reasons, Punish the Podcaster for Magic, our podiversary, the Disney100 celebrations and the new shows!! Of course with this comes all the fun little stories and interactions which made our trip memorable. Don’t worry about Disney100 show spoilers if you are avoiding them, this episode is completely spoiler free! We are instead going to give a bonus episode where we break them all the way down for you based on our thoughts (look out for that this week)!

Previously on the Make it Magical Podcast…we talked all things trains, but today things are getting a little bit more serious for the idea of Disneyland. We cover the headwinds Walt experienced in simply getting the idea of the park going. This includes having to convince his own family this was a good idea to finding people that would believe in his dream enough to invest. Things are really starting to build up in this journey!

Previously on Make it Magical…Emily and Dole Whip Daddy (AKA Clayton) started to tell the Disneyland story starting with the inspiration of what would become the resort. This week we continue this story by covering in more detail how Walt’s love of trains would further inspire him to start the initial plannings of his theme park…Mickey Mouse Park, but we leave it there for a bit of a cliffhanger.

If you haven’t already listened, go check out our friends who have their own amazing show over at Market House Podcast. They were kind enough to invite us on their latest episode as guests! Go give it a listen and follow them over on Instagram @markethousepodcast!

It’s Episode 50, a big big deal for us and we want to celebrate it by telling a story, a story very dear to us…the building of Disneyland. We want to go through all the inspiration, thoughts and struggles that it took to make the park a reality. Today we start with the inspiration and while most have heard a story of a park bench, that is only one piece of the puzzle. Follow along as we go through all it took to build the Happiest Place on Earth!

With our upcoming Disneyland trip, we thought it would be cool to go over the stuff that we have never done or been able to achieve in the parks. That’s right even after all these years of going to the parks, there is still stuff that we haven’t done and there's more being added all the time. The Disney Parks are always growing and changing and this was a core idea of Walt’s visions for them, so join us as we discuss what has eluded our activity lists in the parks.

A little less complaining today as we get to talk about the non-extinct version of the PeopleMover. Today we mainly focus on the history of Walt Disney World's PeopleMover and cover all the changes since its debut in the 70s. Paging Mr. Morrow, Mr. Tom Morrow!

This week Clayton complains about Tomorrowland a lot…what brought him to do this? We are talking about an extinct attraction in Disneyland while it still remains in WDW. We can be talking about none other than the PeopleMover. We dive into everything around the conception, creation, and implementation of this classic into Disneyland. How can such a simple attraction elicit such a response? You’ll just have to listen to find out. Look out for Part 2 next week where we'll cover its history in WDW's Magic Kingdom. This episode topic is credited to our Patreon supporter Jared, as he requested it as part of our new perks.

Today is a special one, we are talking a Disneyland trip report with a very special guest, my Mom and Clayton's Mother-in-law, Lori. This was a very important trip for her being able to go to the park for the first time in several years. We talk about her experience as well as the use of Disney's Disability Access Service (DAS). Disclaimer: In this episode, we will be discussing some serious matters surrounding health diagnosis, but promise that it all ties into Disney and results in a very positive and uplifting message.
