67. The History of Disney Cruise Line: Ships, Seaports & The S.S. Disney

What if Disney had a mobile, floating theme park?Well, italmostdid.In this episode of Distory, we navigate through the origins of Disney's cruise line, starting with Walt Disney's voyages in the 1930s and 40s. After discussing the Jack Wrather Disneyland Hotel fiasco and taking a quick jaunt on the RMS Queen Mary and the Spruce Goose, we set sail on a "magical" Big Red Boat, find out why Michael Eisner wanted to start an exclusive Disney cruise line, and discover what makes the ships so unique both in design and function. Kate also geeks out about paint colors and Kirk spends some time at the midnight buffet, all in the shadow of our perpetual debate about Michael Eisner.Join us LIVE on YouTube most Thursdays at 10:30am Pacific/1:30pm Eastern for more Distory!Kate’s YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@disneycicerone⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠You can also find us on YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, and at ⁠⁠⁠disneycicerone.com⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠walruscarp.com⁠⁠⁠See more Distory with Kate & Kirk episodes⁠here⁠ (earlier episodes available at ⁠⁠⁠@WalrusCarp⁠⁠⁠  )⁠⁠⁠Kate's books on Amazon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WalrusCarp T-shirts & Merch⁠⁠
