A little late, but we think it's worth the wait - Mike and Emily have tremendous fun discussing the origins of Disneyland (and the notion of a 'theme' park in general), and taking the lucky listeners on a round trip around the magic kingdom that transcends eras and subjects. If you like this episode, think it has both good quality and quantity - or neither - please let us know at disnerds@gmail.com - and, as always, enjoy!
