Chapter 23: All aboard!

July 10, 2026 · 33 min

Show notes

The first magic of Disneyland isn’t something you see, it’s something you hear. The timeless whistle of a steam locomotive has welcomed guests since 1955, carrying with it Walt Disney’s greatest passion. The Disneyland Railroad isn’t just a ride; it’s love made tangible, a dream set in motion, and a beautiful reminder that every magical journey begins with a spark of wonder.
