About us
Join us for discussions about Doctor Who!
This group veers into Wibbly-Wobbly-Timey-Wimey stuff as we discuss this 60+ year old fantastic show!
This group regenerated from our prior one of 4+ years. Meetings then were exclusively on Zoom - and online events will remain so, Pacific Time, Monday evenings - but we added more in-person themed meetups in the Los Angeles/OC area such as at the Disneyland Resort, local Cons. We’ll talk about episodes/stories you'll view prior to the event, general discussion topics such as characters, plots, themes explored in Doctor Who. Or whatever you choose! This will be your group and is open to suggestions (we’ve a list from all members in the past 4 years with room for more). And with the show’s debut on Disney+, this group would like to be accessible to brand-new viewers too. Naturally, we mesh and crossover well with our sci-fi, gaming, cosplay, comics/novel, Disney peers.
All humans and extraterrestrials/surviving Time Lords may apply! But this is also a safe space (though we had to convince Cmdr. Strax that the word "Club" had multiple meanings). No harassing anyone nor repeat no-shows without canceling lest you get banished into the Void (not joking). Family-friendly though attendees under age 18 must have a guardian with them.

Sylvia Noble Birthday Celebration – In-person Meetup in Downtown Disney
Downtown Disney District, Anaheim, CA, USJoin us in Downtown Disney to celebrate Sylvia Noble’s birthday in March!
Sylvia is of course the long-suffering saint of a woman we’ve seen trying to corral her erratic fiery-tempered daughter and fun-loving stargazing father. But change with the times she has, even learning to accept her granddaughter!
And to honor her, we’ll chat about The Star Beast – the first of the 60th Anniversary specials! Re-watch it on Disney+ prior!
And a bonus – links to Rachel Talalay’s “How I Filmed This”, 2 brief clips:

You’ll appreciate the effort put into filming the opening, editing choices, and how important ADR, music are after!Yes, events like this to mark DW milestones throughout the year are an excuse for Whovians to get out and meet in person, even if for a brief time. We intend to have lunch at a central spot there, $10-20 range, with more info, details to follow in comments/event chat/messages. Parking validation is offered at most of the Downtown Disney restaurants. Those of us who are Magic Key Holders or there for the whole day can initially meet inside the parks and then step out to meet those who aren’t.

Dapper Day at Disneyland Park, In-person Meet and Greet
Disneyland Park, 1313 Disneyland Dr, Anaheim, CA 92802, Anaheim, CA, USJoin us in your "Sunday Best" at Dapper Day at Disneyland Park!
Here's your chance to "step out in style" at the biannual unofficial event! Though costumes/cosplay are frowned upon, the Doctors and their companions were mostly attired in Earth fashion… who will question if you're similarly dressed? 😉😉 Since "Galliday Fell", we’ll pick up the baton/screwdriver. And we'll try to find the Navarino 1950s Club (pictured above, they look so happy!).
Tickets/reservations may be purchased via the Disneyland Resort site (note apparel restrictions there): https://disneyland.disney.go.com or discounted tix via the Dapper Day site/newsletter – support them by attending their Boutique, of course - https://dapperday.com/pages/spring-2026-disneyland-resort-ca You will need a Disneyland Park reservation regardless.
This is a cross-Meetup with the Disneyland Fan Club (we’re helping out the host, after hours) so sign up there too!
We’ll also visit Black Spires Outpost on planet Batuu (the Disneyland app converts your phone into a limited Vortex Manipulator). Be like ultimate tourist Donna Noble, show everyone how to interact with species from other worlds!
And we’ll pay respects to Murray from Nostalgia Trips and his passengers who never made it to Disneyland in 1959. 😢
