#102: Author Interview - “Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort that Never Was” by Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer

Book of the Mouse Club

Many are familiar with Disney’s theme parks, cruise ships, resorts, and broader media empire, but did you know Disney tried to build a ski resort in Mineral King, California in the 1960s? Courtney and Emily are joined by authors Greg Glasgow and Kathryn Mayer to discuss how this resort never broke ground despite over a decade of planning. Their book, “Disneyland on the Mountain: Walt, the Environmentalists, and the Ski Resort that Never Was”, does a deep dive into this niche piece of Disney history that is often overshadowed by the simultaneous planning and opening of the Walt Disney World Resort. However, despite Mineral King’s unbuilt legacy, its roots can still be found in the theme parks and resorts around the world.
