about
Len Testa & Jim Hill look back at the mid-1980s, where -- in the wake of Disneyland’s hugely successful 30th-anniversary celebration -- that theme park’s marketing team then has to come with a way to persuade Southern Californians to return to the Happiest Place on Earth in early 1986
lyrics
Over the course of this episode, Bandcamp subscribers will learn about:
• What the May 2019 opening of Black Spire Outpost at Disneyland Park had in common with the Summer of 1984 (which was when the Games of the XXIII Olympiad were held in LA)
• Why did Walt Disney Productions once consider the Feld Organization serious competition (at least as far as the Central Florida tourism market is concerned)
• How much did it cost the Imagineers to build the Gift Giver Extraordinaire
• Which was reportedly one of the very first meetings that Michael Eisner took after becoming Disney’s new Chairman & CEO in September of 1984
• How many brand-new Chevrolets would Disneyland Park typically give away on a busy summer day during that theme park’s 30th anniversary celebration
