Episode 86: Touring Walt Disney Studios and Closing Disneyland with Donna

In this episode, Donna and I recap an unforgettable Disney-filled day that started with a stressful drive through Southern California traffic and ended with us closing Disneyland. We share our experience touring Walt Disney Studios, including visiting Walt Disney’s restored offices, seeing the famous piano, family photos, animation artwork, Disney Legends Plaza, the archives area, and even holding a real Oscar statuette. We also talk pastries, Donna’s childhood memories while driving through Cerritos and La Palma, dinner at Anaheim Packing District, the Leota Toombs/Kim Irvine window dedication at Disneyland Park, nighttime rides on Haunted Mansion, Rapunzel’s tower lighting up, and ending the night with friends and Disney magic.

Episode 83: Disney Channel Nite

In this episode Host Steph shares life updates, starting with her grandmother'w passing during her April Disneyland trip with Donna and that grief and a busy run of back-to-back visits have made her consider scaling back or changing the podcast due to the time required for editing and social media. She then recaps Disney Channel Night on April 12 with her family. They ate at Hungry Bear, met fellow podcaster Lynn Baron and his wife Erin, rode Rise of the Resistance, and experienced heavy crowds, fast-sold-out merchandise, and an extremely long line for the Disney Channel wand photo op that Makayla, Jordan, and Lewis waited in nearly all night. Steph’s group rode multiple attractions (including firsts for Charlie on Alice in Wonderland and Peter Pan), saw Rapunzel and a loud Phineas and Ferb dance party. Steph also gives her opinion on the event and closes with some final thoughts about the podcast. Thank you to all of my listeners, friends and supporters!
