Imagination Skyway

Joanna and I have been traveling to Walt Disney World together since 2011 when we were still under a year into our relationship. Over the course of our courtship, engagement, and marriage, we've amassed a growing list of Disney travel memories. From a pair of young Disney adults to a family with kids, we discuss some of our favorite personal stories over the last 15 years (and counting) of Disney travel memories.   Create your own Disney travel memories with our sponsor KMV Travel.   Get bonus content, ad-free episodes, and more at patreon.com/imaginationskyway.   Tag me and join the conversation below.

Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, "The Wildest Ride In The Wilderness", has been delighting Disney fans at Disneyland since 1979, with other versions created for Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, Tokyo Disneyland, and Disneyland Paris. Imagineer Tony Baxter, carrying forward an idea from Imagineer Marc Davis called Thunder Mesa and Western River Expedition, led a team to create this pivot storytelling roller coaster, setting a new standard for Disney mountain attractions (previous ones included Space Mountain and Matterhorn Bobsleds) that have resulted in such iconic attractions as Expedition Everest and Big Grizzly Mountain Runaway Mine Cars.   In this episode, we discuss the history, story, mythology, lore, and Imagineering details for Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland, Walt Disney World, and Disneyland Paris.
