Welcome to D.L. Weekly, a podcast about Walt's original Magic Kingdom, Disneyland.

We cover the latest news and information from the resort, test our skills at trivia, and have a discussion about the parks every week.

We invite you to send in your feedback and stories. Our contact information can be found at d.lweekly.net.

Now sit back, keep your hands and arms inside the podcast, and enjoy this week's show.

Coming up on this episode of dL weekly, we are live from the Disneyland Resort.

So, of course, things are going to be a little bit different than normal.

Hopefully you can hear some Disney Esplanade music in the background.

Yeah, we're sitting actually under the monorail beam right now, looking excitedly over at the gates of Disneyland.

We're peeking at the train station. We're watching all of the

people line up for today's Touch of Disney. They're lining up pretty early. But it's gorgeous.

We've got the pink flowering trees, which I'm obsessed with. And I'm taking way too many pictures

of them. But it's fine. It's beautiful. I will say that for anybody, we're going to talk more

about Touch of Disney a little bit later, but what I would let people know is you should definitely

get to Touch of Disney a little early, go do some stuff in Downtown Disney, because Downtown Disney

does open before Touch of Disney's gates open. And then we waited in the line yesterday, but really, if you wait just a little bit of extra time,

let those gates kind of open and people go in, I think you won't have to wait in the heat as much.

It was very hot yesterday.

We found a really nice sweet spot.

So like Teg said, we came in because we had our meetup, of course.

So we came in as soon as security opened up.

We actually had to wait out on harbor.

We were so early.
