It’s Fun to Go Retro: Disneyland with Charles Phoenix!
Posted on Tuesday, 18th September 2012 by Nancy Johnson
The retro craze seems to be everywhere these days, and Southern California seems to be at the top of the nostalgia list. For Disneyand fans, nowhere on earth could be more nostalgic than remembering the world of your childhood or getting to experience a past that you only knew from the history books. Well, The Anaheim Historical Society decided to partner with a gentleman named Charles Phoenix, who specializes in bringing that retro world to life through his humorous slide shows. His unique style of photojournalism allowed our audience to “ride along” with him on his quests to experience the retro culture of Anaheim and Disneyland, at its finest. From the novelty of the now “unsafe and thus extinct” Pack Mules Through Nature’s Wonderland (ridden by DISer, Michael Bowling, below) to the kitschy hotels that surrounded Disneyland Park, Charles recently took us on a whirlwind tour of his retro “heaven”. Join me for a brief outline and then listen to the DIS Unplugged Disneyland Podcast as we discuss our Adventure in “Anaheimland“!
