If Churros are the most iconic treat at Disneyland (and they are), then the humble Turkey Leg is a close second. Which puts Dole Whips somewhere in the middle tier, just above the free water at Rancho del Zocalo). On today's show, Erik takes us through how the Turkey Leg came to be at the parks, what makes them so darn good, and, perhaps more importantly ... are they really turkey legs at all? Plus, Taren has a "Who Dat?" segment, and we cover some Disney News! Transcript: The History of Turkey Legs In Disneyland ---------------- Support the show!

While Disneyland and Walt Disney World seem to have mostly the same experiences and rides as each other, only one attraction stands out as possibly being too insane to have existed in the first place, much less in a Disney Park. The ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter was ... something else. Relying on sound design and physical effects rather than animatronics, this Child of the Eisner Era lasted far longer than it had any right to. The concept and execution were so non-Disney it's surprising it was ever assembled in the first place. A truly immersive ride that was also scary? Sign us up!

The term "Disney Adult" was created as a way to try and make people feel bad about the things they like, but what does it really mean?

Which sounds bring us back to the parks every time we hear them, if only in our minds?

Soarin' Over (insert location here) has been one of those rides that is fairly polarizing - either it's a must-ride or a walk-on-by - there's hardly an in-between.

If you were walking around Tomorrowland in the early 1980's, chances are you have heard Josh Freese. Josh was in a teen band called "Polo" that frequented the Tomorrowland Terrace in those days. Son of the great Disneyland Band Leader Stan Freese, Josh left the adoring throngs of park goers behind to become a successful musician, playing in bands that run the gamut of musical genres - The Vandals, A Perfect Circle, Devo, and countless others. Growing up - literally - in Disneyland, Josh has about as many stories to tell about the early days of the parks has he has credits on albums. Josh was kind enough to sit down with us and talk about how he got his first job working at Disneyland, and how the parks have played a role in his life still.
