Disneyland - Can We Still Find Walt? | A Lowdown Shorty
Episode 13
Sunday, 5 April, 2026
Send us Fan MailSomething is quietly disappearing inside Disneyland, and it isn’t a single ride. It’s the feeling of Walt Disney himself: the founder's fingerprints, the hand-crafted oddities, and the design choices that made Anaheim’s original park feel like a living, ebullient, organism.We take a thoughtful walk through Disneyland history and ask a focused question: what is actually left of Walt? We talk about how the man used to be omnipresent in the park, why that kind of creator presence still matters to Disney adults across generations, and how it might be aa little tougher, but he's still there... if you know where to look.In this short episode, Kelly and Pete speak from the heart, and get a little melancholy.Hey, we're human!Thanks for listening!We'd love it if you would give us a review on your podcast platform of choice: iTunes, Spotify, etc...
