Even if you think you’ve heard it all about Disneyland, you’ve probably NEVER heard about this.

In the Distorian's Lounge with Kate this week, we do a deep dive into the history of Disneyland’s abandoned Chinatown concept, exploring how it impacted some of the most iconic attractions in Disney history. Along the way we meet an animatronic you’ve likely never heard of, sit down for a meal in a unique (and sometimes offensive) Chinese restaurant, and learn a little bit of philosophy. We also dig into some history of Los Angeles for context and find an extremely rare never-built Anaheim theme park.

Join us LIVE on TikTok every Fridayat 5:30pm Pacific/8:30pm Eastern for more Distory!
