Disney Parks Podcast Show #907 – Interview with Author Stephan Hall and his book Spoonful of Sugar

Author
On today’s episode, we’re joined by Stephen Hall, MA — museum curator, historian, and storyteller of history’s hidden gems. Stephen’s path into pharmacy history started almost by accident, volunteering at the University of Arizona’s History of Pharmacy Museum, which led him to become its first dedicated curator. From restoring over 900 artifacts from Disneyland’s former Upjohn Pharmacy to uncovering overlooked chapters where science, culture, and storytelling collide, Stephen brings history to life with scholarship, archival digging, and a love for the quirky corners of the past. Stay tuned — this is a journey you won’t want to miss!

Book Summary

Today, we’re diving into “A Spoonful of Sugar: The Story of the Upjohn Pharmacy in Disneyland.” This book takes us inside one of Main Street, U.S.A.’s most fascinating — and often overlooked — attractions. Open from 1955 to 1970, the Upjohn Pharmacy wasn’t just a store; it was an immersive, nostalgia-filled exhibit blending Victorian apothecary charm with modern pharmaceutical science and Disney showmanship.

Stephen Hall explores the vision behind it, from Walt Disney’s collaboration with Upjohn executives to the meticulous design, live leeches, antique microscopes, and candy jars that made it magical. Beyond the exhibits, the book touches on nostalgia, the evolution of pharmacy, corporate sponsorship in Disney parks, and the art of preserving history. A true love letter to Disney, curation, and the quirky corners of the past.
