The Yippie Invasion of Disneyland
by Todd James Pierce
The other multi-part podcast I produced over the summer was focused on the Yippie Invasion at Disneyland. The Yippies–generally politically-oriented hippies organized by Abbie Hoffman–staged a large demonstration at Disneyland during the summer of 1970, a demonstration that escalated to a point where 150 officers in riot gear faced off against teenagers and young adults on Main Street. The 90-minute, three-part series features information from many unpublished interviews.
The three-part series develops over Episodes 28 to 30.

Never knew this part of the story!!! I heard they invaded Tom Sawyers Island. They climbed into the trees and eventually they closed the park that day which was unprecedented.
I am working on a special Walt Disney hologram project. We need help finding and summarizing every documented quote by Walt for the script. How do i get in touch with Mr. Pierce to see if DHI and/or Mr. Pierce would be interested in helping us?
