Trammin' - A Disneyland Podcast

We've been having these weird thoughts lately. Like, is any of this for real, or not? One thing we're sure of, is that the Kingdom Hearts episode is finally real. John's heart was our guiding key, and he's helped us open the door to darkness. After all these year, we're ready. Kingdom Hearts, a cornerstone of our childhoods, is the perfect intersection of video games and D...

Eureka! Topic from Trammin' Episode 292 We just can't stop digging for gold in California Adventure. The Golden State calls to us, and we answer with: Eureka! There are a million (and a half) ways to look at this strange park. In this trilogy of episodes, we'll look at "why." Why was this park built the way it was. What made it evolve? Where will we go next. All will be an...

We just can't stop digging for gold in California Adventure. The Golden State calls to us, and we answer with: Eureka! There are a million (and a half) ways to look at this strange park. In this trilogy of episodes, we'll look at "why." Why was this park built the way it was. What made it evolve? Where will we go next. All will be answered before long, but this week, join Kirk...

Christmastime Topic from Trammin' Episode 291 There are probably a few things that pop right into your head when we say "Christmas at Disneyland." And we can bet that "it's a small world" Holiday is one of them. Whether it's a world of laughter or a world of tears, this ride is the merriest cruise of all through the holidays around the world.

There are probably a few things that pop right into your head when we say "Christmas at Disneyland." And we can bet that "it's a small world" Holiday is one of them. Whether it's a world of laughter or a world of tears, this ride is the merriest cruise of all through the holidays around the world. The sights and the sounds take us way back to our very first trip aroun...

Christmastime Topic from Trammin'verse: The Muppet Christmas Carol The Marleys were dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The spirit of Christmas, however, is not. Who better to bring it alive than The Muppets themselves! 1992's beloved The Muppet Christmas Carol lives on in the hearts of many, including the listeners of this very show. Whether it be the serious act...

The Marleys were dead: to begin with. There is no doubt whatever about that. The spirit of Christmas, however, is not. Who better to bring it alive than The Muppets themselves! 1992's beloved The Muppet Christmas Carol lives on in the hearts of many, including the listeners of this very show. Whether it be the serious acting, playful spirits, or beloved Muppets, this take on Charles Dickens&a...

Christmastime Topic from Trammin' Episode 290 There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, at least that's what they tell me. Though it seems there may be a few free things at The Disneyland Resort. At least, included with your paid admission and parking. Buttons & park maps & stickers, oh my. The free gifts are endless, and possibly worthless. Don't kick a gift horse in...

There ain't no such thing as a free lunch, at least that's what they tell me. Though it seems there may be a few free things at The Disneyland Resort. At least, included with your paid admission and parking. Buttons & park maps & stickers, oh my. The free gifts are endless, and possibly worthless. Don't kick a gift horse in the mouth though. Instead, join Kirk & Kimmie a...

We may not be thankful for Bob anymore, but we're thankful for Defunctland! Over this past Thanksgiving, Kevin Perjurer and the fine folks at Defunctland released their newest documentary feature: "Disney's Living Characters: A Broken Promise." We have so many thoughts that we can't help but share. Revelations, realizations, and reanimations really got us reared up and rea...

Christmastime Topic from Trammin' Episode 289 Another year has gone by, and another Christmas has come, as it does this time each year. It's mostly the same, and not much is new. Do we crave new things, or do we yearn for the Christmases gone by? We look forward to traditions, letting go of old ones, making room for new ones. We grow older as the marshmallow world of our childhood melts...

Another year has gone by, and another Christmas has come, as it does this time each year. It's mostly the same, and not much is new. Do we crave new things, or do we yearn for the Christmases gone by? We look forward to traditions, letting go of old ones, making room for new ones. We grow older as the marshmallow world of our childhood melts away. But we grow fonder of new roots that take hol...

Big Thunder Topic from Trammin' Episode 288 On November, 23, 2022, we released an episode titled “Thanks be to Bob." Bob Iger suddenly, without warning, replaced Bob Chapek, in a grand return to the Walt Disney Company as CEO. We thought this could be the start of a new era for Disney, shiny and chrome. But we were all deceived, for another dark era began. We're not quite happy with...

What if… you could travel safely all the time? Well there’s safety in traveling to Disney. We’re keen to do more, but want to explore why it is this way for so many people.

Preview topic from Trammin' Preview: Holiday Foodie Guide 2025 with Kirk & Kev Well well well, we just couldn't keep ourselves away from a foodie guide. We did jinx it though, and I asked my brother Kev to take Rain's place this week. He was, in fact, the host of a world-renowned podcast all about reading during recording.

Well well well, we just couldn't keep ourselves away from a foodie guide. We did jinx it though, and I asked my brother Kev to take Rain's place this week. He was, in fact, the host of a world-renowned podcast all about reading during recording. This year's foodie guide to the holidays is sticky with toffee, a little minty, and a little meaty. So let's take a bite out of this n...

Big Thunder Topic from The Trammin'verse: Kirk & Rain Get Away from it All Kirk & Rain, should stay in their lane. But the escape is just too alluring. And if they leave, there is much to gain. With rest, there will be healing. The reason to leave, is maybe to breathe. Get away from it all, and enjoy the air this fall. At the end is return, and so much to learn. The rest that we earn,...

Tramtober is all about the spooky little vibes at The Disneyland Resort. But we're not so sure if there are five whole episodes' worth of spookiness at Disneyland. So we entered the Trammin'verse once again to delivery you what you've been asking for... the rest of SoCal's Halloween Haunts. Universal Studios' Halloween Horror Nights, Knott's Scary Farm, Queen Mar...

Dark Rides are classic attractions at Disneyland. Possibly the most quintessential theme park rides. But we're not here to talk about little storybook rides in the dark. We're talking about "Dark" rides. Open the Disneyland App or website and filter by "Dark" and you'll see what we're talking about. And if you can't, maybe turn up the brightness a littl...
