Legacy Passholder Status Introduced

Were you a Disneyland passholder? Do you agree with Michelle that the benefits could be made available for the Disney Store? Those who held a Disneyland Annual Pass when the parks closed are able to get a discount - great news. However, when you live 5000 miles away and a global pandemic prevents your travel this isn't of much use!

Harvey's Go Minnie

From past shows, you all know we are big fans of these bags. Well here are a few pictures of a new range. What do you think of them? Do you have any Harvey bags?

So what does Jim talk about on the show? Well, he reveals the story of how Walt came to enlist in the Red Cross Ambulance Corps; this to many will be a well-known fact. However, did you know in September of 1918 Walt became very ill and was returned to the family home in Chicago?

Jim shares all the details on the show including stories of Walt's friendships, recovery and enterprising nature. There are also further details and pictures of Walt's time in the Red Cross available here Red Cross Archives.

Another story Jim shared was the story of the second inauguration parade of a former president of the United States of America and how it took place in Walt Disney World but you will have to listen in for details. I found this D23 post, which details some of the other connections the Disney company has to American presidents here.
