Trammin' - A Disneyland Podcast

We're wandering back into Japan soon and casting a wider net. Who better to guide us than our pal Andrew from Wandering in Disney? Kyoto is his favorite city in the world, so he's got quite the insight into the sites (and sights) we should set our... sights on. What's a must do? What's overrated? What's full of tourists that we can't avoid? Is Tom Brady truly the GOAT...

Big Thunder Topic from Trammin' Episode 314 What's in your bag? Disneyland days are often short little adventures. You need a few supplies to get through them. Whether it be water, chapstick, or a socket wrench, if you carry it, we want to know. We do of course, have our own little lists, but GQ didn't want to interview us so we took this into our own hands. You've heard of an...

Big Thunder Topic from Trammin' Episode 313 Disney brought us back. They're gonna make us do this 'til we're 90. We have once again renewed our Magic Keys. We talked a big talk, puffed our chest, tilted up our noses, and gave Disneyland almost $2,000 for the privilege of being there when capacity allows. Why did we do it? This isn't a humiliation ritual in which we justify...

Disney brought us back. They're gonna make us do this 'til we're 90. We have once again renewed our Magic Keys.

This isn't a humiliation ritual in which we justify this frivolous expense. We want to keep going to...

Big Thunder Topic from Trammin' Episode 312 D23 2026 is far over the horizon now. Some found dreams, and others let out their inner Yeti in anger. Somewhere in the middle, much was revealed. From the highest peaks, to the lowest snake pits. A new horizon lies before us. New leadership at Disney with bigger dreams and aspirations.

D23 2026 is far over the horizon now. Some found dreams, and others let out their inner Yeti in anger. Somewhere in the middle, much was revealed. From the highest peaks, to the lowest snake pits.

As you try to make s...

Big Thunder Topic from Trammin' Episode 311 Can you see why Kirk & Rain love the taste of Cinnamon Toast Crunch, why they're cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs, and why they're after me Lucky Charms? It's definitely not because Trix are for kids. Cereal is part of a balanced breakfast, so why wouldn't it be part of this unbalanced podcast? Grab a bowl, pour the cereal first, and d...

All these take roots in our hearts from a young age.

What is an original, and how unchanged can something remain for decades? The essence of Disneyland, the feelings, the nostalgia. All these take roots in our hearts from a young age.

But what if what appears the same, is just a copy of what...

We all need to escape sometimes, but us Californians need not look far. In under 2 hours, we can be transported to another world. A different biome, filled with new sights, sounds (except in rentals), smells, and tastes. From the suburbs to the deserts, to the Channel Islands, this state is our playground. The heat of Palm Springs and the breeze of Catalina Island enshrouded us this weekend. Well...
