Hello, Weekly Tears, Tagan, Teresa here. We are off for this week, but we wanted to give you something to listen to going into the new year.

So we found an interview that we had quite a while ago.

Yeah, so we thought it'd be really fun since, right? This year, Disneyland is celebrating its 70th anniversary.

Why not go back in time back to September 2018 when we first talked with Lynn

about what it was like for Disneyland's 50th anniversary.

All right.

Well, this week, since we're celebrating our 50th episode, we thought it'd be a good

opportunity to talk about the 50th anniversary celebration at Disneyland back in 2005.

Well, what better way to start off the conversation

that a talk to someone who worked there during the celebration? Lynn Barron, welcome Lynn.

Hey, thanks for having me. Well, as you guys probably already know, Lynn is the co-author of the

book Cleaning the Kingdom and hosts the Sweep Spot podcast with his co-author, Ken Pelman.

So what we usually do in the beginning when we have any guests on the show is we like to

kind of hear your Disney backstory.

So a lot of us already know that you spent some time actually working there, but what made

you first fall in love with Disney and Disneyland?

I think just growing up in Southern California, it was something that we did as a family every year.

Sure.

I mean, although we only lived, you know, what, 20 miles away, we only went once, maybe twice a year.

And then growing up as a teenager, became an annual passholder.

And then I was there so much later after I graduated that my mom said,

you're there so much, you might as well, you know, go there and work.
