In this theoretical episode, join Alice and Buddy as they analyze an underappreciated part of how Disneyland, specifically, blends its iconic lands together. How do these lands, ostensibly separated by genre, find themselves connected thematically, aesthetically, and narratively? Do any lands stand out as especially effective at this blending—and do some not quite fit the mold?
