Summary
Who’s to blame for the Disastrous Opening of Disneyland?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes back the OG Alarmist Producer and former Disney Princess herself, Amanda Lund! Together, along with Producer Clayton Early and Fact Checker Chris Smith, they discuss the problematic 1955 opening of Disneyland. Were counterfeit tickets to the invite-only opening day to blame? Perhaps the press rushed the opening broadcast date? Or was it all simply the delusion of Walt Disney himself? Put on your Mouse ears and tune in!
