    The Details
    Join Alex Stewart and Freddy Martin On Saturday March 4th, 2023 where we’ll kick things off at 12:00pm at the Hojo Anaheim in their world-renowned House Of the Retro Future Suite, a suite that’s design is inspired by the Monsanto House of the Future that resided in Tomorrowland at Disneyland from 1957 to 1967!

    We’ll be hanging out, meeting with friends and listeners, and of course, talking about all things Disneyland history! You’ll also get a chance to explore this one of a kind suite.

    Remember
    Please keep in mind that the time in the suite is more of a flexible meet up/open house thing, but the live taping is a free but ticketed event with tickets being already very limited. In fact, we’re about 75% full at this point! To reserve those last few tickets available, go to our Eventbrite Page.

    Again, the open house in the suite is open to all, but seating for the live taping is very limited, so grab tickets while you still can.

    When: Saturday, March 4th, 2023
    Where: Hojo Anaheim 1380 S Harbor Blvd, Anaheim, CA 92802

    Episode 77: We Digress...

    We have spent the entirety of this show following the format of each episode covering a land or attraction. And barring some holiday shenanigans and some SEA adventures, we've been extremely loyal to that format. But this episode is intended to break that mold. Annie has some big news that we need to share before we blast off and explore the outer reaches of Space Mountain, so we figured we'd take this opportunity to ditch the script and have a Disneyland centered conversation about family, memories, and legacies amongst great friends. We're so pleased with how this episode turned out and we hope you enjoy this little detour that we've taken on our way to exploring the LAST mountain of our grand circle tour. Please Stand clear of the doors!
