What we’re about
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.

See all- Ellie Oswald Birthday Celebration - In-person Meetup in Downtown Disney!Downtown Disney District, Anaheim, CA
Join us to celebrate Ellie Oswald’s birthday in Downtown Disney!
Though her on-screen time was brief, Ellie was a big influence on her progeny, passing down traits of kindness, altruism. Her soufflé recipe was an important link cherished by her daughter!
Adventure(land) was in her blood evidenced by her “101 Places to See” book.
So Aloha/Hawaiian, tiki or floral print dresses, shirts and other festive attire are encouraged that day!
And to prep, re-watch The Rings of Akhaten prior and we’ll talk about it at lunch: https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x9kr2g0Yes, events like this to mark DW milestones throughout the year are an excuse for Whovians to get out, meet in person, even if for a brief time. We'll have lunch at a central spot in Downtown Disney ($10-25 range, parking validation available) and roam around that fun area after - in the tropical-weather Halloween season there. 🤷♂️🤣 For Magic Key Holders, this is a partial cross-meet with another similarly attired Meetup group. More info, details to follow in comments/event chat/direct messages.
And yes, Ellie’s birthday is Sept 11, but for obvious reasons we’ll celebrate on this different day.
