HOW DID WALT DO IT?!! That's right we're talking about Disneyland Handcrafted, the new mind-boggling film documenting the year (THE SINGLE! YEAR!) it took to build Disneyland. As you'll soon hear me yell about at length, director Leslie Iwerks' film is an absolutely stunning look at the process, complete with archival footage that, oh ya know, had no sound until it was added to this film. It's out January 22, but this episode will give you the lowdown on the film, what it was like to attend the Disneyland Handcrafted premiere on the Walt Disney Studios Lot (omg the attendees!) and, as a bonus, we've even got an interview with Leslie Iwerks herself!This one is a Disneyland doozy, you're gonna love it!Book your next Disney trip with MEI-MouseFan Travel!!

Did I have too much caffeine before recording this one? Was that breakfast Butterfinger a bad idea?
