Summary
Happy Easter! This week, we take a trip to Disneyland with 1955 guest Kit Reichow, who first visited Disneyland in his wonder years in September 1955 and never stopped visiting. We take a look at the park through the eyes of a guest who grew up alongside the park, and consider how things have changed throughout the history of the Disneyland Resort. Listen as we walk through the park chatting about topics including Rainbow Ridge, Mr. Lincoln, Disneyland Jail, and lots of general trip tips. We also are going to talk about the experience of purchasing tickets to the D23 Expo last week (spoiler alert: there were problems) and discuss a recent event at the Walt Disney Family Museum with two very aspirational Pixar employees who started their Pixar careers in the Pixar gift shop.

| 0:55.2 | Of course, it's a trip report, but I tried to, just a side note here, I try to make trip reports on this show have a focus. |
| 1:02.4 | Sometimes it will be, you know, something new just happens, so I'm going to do a trip report about that, or sometimes it'll be, I haven't had a lot of experience with this. |
| 1:09.2 | So this trip report I'm going to give you is a trip I just took to Disneyland a week ago, ostensibly as a chaperone for high school seniors. |
| 1:18.1 | Although what happened on this trip was unexpected and just amazingly joyful, and I'm excited to share that with you. |

| 1:46.1 | from San Francisco. So I thought I would talk to you about that a little bit. So kind of a |
