Sent from Disneyland: SFD 363: Sent with a 50th Passport

Episode Description

This week we travel back to 1965 and 1967 with two classic Disneyland postcards featuring the Main Street Railroad Station and Sleeping Beauty Castle. Along the way we read the messages home, uncover the weather and park attendance from each visit, and revisit the magic of Walt's original park.

In this episode's history segment, we flip through a 2005 Disneyland Passport Guide created exclusively for Annual Passholders, exploring the excitement leading up to Disneyland's 50th Anniversary Celebration. From the debut of Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, Block Party Bash, and Parade of Dreams to exclusive merchandise, discounts, and passholder perks, it's a fascinating snapshot of one of Disneyland's biggest celebrations.

Plus, an incoming postcard from the Mojave Correspondents Club inspires a discussion about pen pal clubs, snail mail, and whether Sent from Disneyland should have a mail club of its own.
