THE T.A.L.E. Tour Rewind
Four Favorite Adventures + Merch Giveaway
The T.A.L.E. Tour was never just about where we went… It was about what we discovered along the way.
As we get ready to launch an all-new season of Dorktales Storytime, Jonathan and Redge look back on four unforgettable adventures from our Thrilling and Astounding Lore Expedition. From the comfort of the Magical Minivan to mountaintops, coral reefs, and even the tiniest town in Once Upon a Time, each stop on the T.A.L.E. Tour introduced us to new friends, surprising mysteries, and the fun of curiosity, creativity, and imagination.
Whether your child is revisiting a favorite journey or discovering these stories for the first time, the T.A.L.E. Tour Rewind invites them to explore, dream, and imagine what might come next. It’s a playful way for listeners to share their ideas with us and have a chance to win Dorktales Storytime merch.
This T.A.L.E. Tour Giveaway has concluded and the winners have been announced. Thank you to everyone who entered our first merch giveaway. There are more to come!
