This week, Alex and Kris are joined once again by friend, former Disney Cast Member, and voice actor Andy Mack for a journey into the voices that bring Disney's Haunted Mansion—and its happy haunts—to life. Before stepping into the Mansion, Alex and Kris catch up on some spooky Disney news, including after-dark tours of Walt Disney's former Los Feliz home, new Halloween character bag charms at Disneyland, the Haunted Mansion x Stoney Clover Lane collection, Flotsam and Jetsam shoulder plushes from Tokyo Disney Resort, and the Haunted Mansion-inspired Halloween decorations appearing around the Disneyland Hotel.

A Halloween party ticket at Magic Kingdom can feel like a splurge until you realize you're not paying for “more time,” you're paying for choices. Alicea joins me from Orlando after attending Mickey's Not-So-Scary Halloween Party twice in the same week, and we get honest about what worked, what didn't, and how two different priorities can create two completely different nights.We talk real MNSSHP strategy: arriving right at party start versus later, how crowds shift after fireworks, and why the lines for party-exclusive characters can stay stubbornly long all night. Alicea shares the characters she actually met, the ones she skipped, and the smart move most people forget, using the official party map and My Disney Experience to plan meet-and-greets and PhotoPass stops. We also clear up the PhotoPass question so you know whether you'll need Memory Maker to keep those Halloween magic shots.Entertainment gets its own spotlight, because Boo To You is a big deal for a reason. We break down parade highlights, a great viewing location near the front, and what makes the Hocus Pocus Villain Spelltacular an easy win for first-timers who want Sanderson Sisters energy and Disney villains. We also share creative ways to experience Disney's Not So Spooky Spectacular when you don't want to camp out shoulder-to-shoulder, plus how humidity and storm season can change the vibe even when the rain stays away.Then we get to the essentials: treat trails, candy tactics, the surprise full-size Snickers, and the ride moments that make the party feel unique, including Haunted Mansion and the pitch-black Deep Space Mountain overlay. We finish with merch talk, a cast member bat-name tradition that's way funnier than it should be, and a quick-fire Disney favorites round.Subscribe, share with your favorite Disney friend, and leave a review so more Halloween-loving park nerds can find us.----Adventures & Mousecapades is a passion project from Alicea & Nathan Novak - two Seattleites addicted to The Mouse.

We just hit 100 episodes! To celebrate, we're sharing our favorite things at Walt Disney World! We start by ranking all four parks, and Chip and I don't agree. Then we share our top three hotels, plus the budget resorts we'd pick in each category. From there we get into the best ride queues, the resort smells we can't forget, our go-to Disney Springs stops, and the quick service meals we'd eat today if we could. We keep it honest, because a favorite isn't always the right pick for every family. My favorite resort is Riviera, but it's not where I usually stay with my kids, and I explain why. You'll also hear which queue we'd skip every time and the resort scents we can't stop thinking about. We wrap up with a Santa dinner at The Cake Bake Shop that costs a family of four over $900, plus our favorite character meals and the surprise character meets we love most.

They left a well-known haunted location believing nothing had happened. There were no apparitions, no voices and no reason to think anything had followed them home.That night, he heard two men arguing outside the bedroom window. When he went to investigate, no one was there.Hours later, he and his wife awoke from the same nightmare, both paralyzed and convinced that something was trying to harm her.The next morning, their child asked why Mom had come into the bedroom at three in the morning and lain down beside them. The child even remembered reaching out and touching her hair.But Mom had never left her own bed. And whatever had taken her shape was only beginning to make itself at home.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #Paranormal #Doppelganger #MimicSpirit #SharedNightmare #SleepParalysis #HauntedAttachment #GhostStory #Unexplained Love real ghost stories?

In the 309th episode of The Main Street Electrical Podcast, Jenn & Dave aare once agains joined by fan fave #KylaKylaKyla to take the controls as CEOs of Magic Kingdom. Armed with a blank check (and a few ground rules), the trio pitches creative overhauls, attraction swaps, and quality-of-life updates to enhance Walt Disney World's flagship park. Before diving into their park overhaul, they cover recent Disney trip highlights, booking tips, and festival entertainment updates. Food & Wine French Brunch: Jenn reviews the weekend-only French breakfast/brunch buffet at Les Chefs de France in Epcot, highlighting the pastry spreads, cheeses, and overall value. Cruise Secrets & Booking Tips: Kyla shares a Disney Cruise Line booking story aboard the Disney Treasure. Dave details how Disney Cruise "restricted guaranteed" rates work (full payment upfront, non-refundable, no cabin choice) and how they can yield major savings. Epcot News: Candlelight Processional - Breakdown of the celebrity narrator lineup (including Auliʻi Cravalho, Ralph Macchio, Neil Patrick Harris, and Robin Roberts), and why booking a Candlelight Dining Package is practically mandatory for top-tier narrators to avoid massive standby lines. CEO Roundtable: Reimagining the Magic Kingdom Tomorrowland Speedway: Jenn pitches replacing it with an opening-day-style hover/skitter attraction, while Dave suggests keeping the track footprint but converting it to electric vehicles themed after classic Disney cinema cars (Herbie, Cruella's limousine). Mickey's PhilharMagic & Tomorrowland Meeting Spots: Kyla calls for retiring PhilharMagic in favor of a quieter cinematic experience, while Dave pitches turning the former Stitch/Alien Encounter footprint into a dedicated indoor Tomorrowland character greeting lounge. Beauty and the Beast Expansions: Bringing back the pre-fixe lunch menu and quick-service breakfast at Be Our Guest, plus adding a Beauty and the Beast dark ride alongside Princess Fairytale Hall. Storybook Circus & Tangled: Re-energizing the Big Top Souvenirs merch/snack experience, turning Storybook Treats into an interactive lounge/margarita spot, and adding a proper lantern-filled Tangled dark ride near the Fantasyland courtyards. Pins, Collectibles & Scavenger Hunts: Dave's plan to clean up park-wide pin trading boards and revamp Frontierland's pin depot into a true collector outpost; Jenn calls for the return of park-wide interactive family scavenger hunts (like the former Family Magic Tour). Villains Land & Piston Peak Concerns: Addressing sightline worries between Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion, and the new expansions, plus ideas for a dramatic dusk-to-night transformation moment as Villains Land comes alive.

Episode 40. Lost in the Twilight Zone: A Tower of Terror Deep Dive Hollywood, 1939. A mysterious hotel. A fateful lightning strike. And an elevator ride into… The Twilight Zone. ⚡

In April 1874, a doorbell rang after midnight at a nine-room mansion in Oakland, California, and no one was standing at the door. Over the three nights that followed, a Treasury officer who publicly mocked the whole idea of spirits watched his own furniture move, his front door come off its hinges, and a crowd of 500 people fill the street outside his home. Mary Ann Poll tells the story of Thomas Clarke, the investigation that called him a fool, and the fight he spent the rest of his life waging.EPISODE NOTES● Thomas Clarke was 51, an officer with the United States Treasury Department, and a public skeptic. He told one newspaper that no one in his household believed in Spiritualism, and another that the whole affair had been a lively joke, before the third night changed his position permanently.● The named witnesses are unusually respectable for a case of this kind: the Reverend Doctor Eells of Oakland's First Presbyterian Church, Assistant United States Treasurer William Sherman, Hawaiian Consul H.W. Severance, and San Francisco attorney Colonel J.B. Howard among them. Newspapers of the day made a point of describing them as first-class people in every way.● Doctor Joseph Le Conte, co-founder of both the University of California and the Sierra Club, personally led the investigating committee. They interviewed 20 firsthand witnesses and produced a 360-page report concluding the events were not supernatural and suggesting a boarder had staged them. Clarke had agreed in advance to let the committee decide on release, then refused to allow the report to be published.● Clarke answered with a 20-page pamphlet attacking the investigation and a 50-page firsthand account of what he insisted he had seen. Beginning in 1877 he published pamphlets he said were dictated to him from the spirit world through a San Francisco medium.● His daughter Helen carried the fight forward after his death in 1884, still writing letters defending the account in 1891 and giving a full account to researcher James Hyslop in 1905. That material was published in the Proceedings of the American Society for Psychical Research in 1913, with an inconclusive verdict. After that, the Clarke family disappears from the public record entirely.● The mansion was demolished in the early 1970s for Interstate 980. In 1997 a reporter canvassed three surviving Victorian houses near the old address and found three residents, none of whom had heard of Thomas Clarke, each reporting phenomena of their own.SCRIPTURE1 Corinthians 4:5 (NIV) — 'Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart.'SOURCES● Daily Alta California, April 26 to 27, 1874● Oakland Daily Transcript, April 28, 1874Sacramento Daily Union, April 29, 1874● Thomas B. Clarke, The Oakland Ghost and Ancient Phenomena, With a Review of the Oakland Committee (1877)● Proceedings of the American Society for Psychical Research (1913)● San Francisco Chronicle / SFGate, 'The Real Story Behind Oakland's Haunted Mansion,' October 31, 1997

September is here and with it comes the end of the summer season. Yes, Lezze Le Bon Temps Summer is ending right here with Disney’s Haunted Mansion (2023). This definitely set in New Orleans movie is the culmination of all the movies we’ve covered this summer – but can LaKeith Stanfield, Rosario Dawson, Tiffany Haddish, Owen Wilson, Danny Devito, and Jared Leto send us out with a bang? Find out right here, on Zero Credit(s).

The Mousedebaters talk swapping animatronics. --------Disney Parks are masterpieces of storytelling, engineering, and meticulous thematic design. Anyway, put Scuttle on the Jungle Cruise.But first: Bed, Wed, Behead: QUILF Edition. QUILFs. That's Queens We'd Like to… you know what, you can work it out. Whatever you want to call them, Disney has given us a surprising number of animated monarchs worth discussing, and we're giving them the thoughtful and dignified treatment they deserve... by deciding which ones we'd sleep with, marry, or execute . Then we turn our attention to the real stars of the Disney Parks: animatronics. Specifically, what happens when you put them where they absolutely do not belong.What if the Tiki Room birds moved into the Haunted Mansion? What if Scuttle from The Little Mermaid got a job as a Jungle Cruise skipper? What if the Pirates of the Caribbean sailed directly into it's a small world? We're swapping animatronics between attractions to determine which ones would improve the ride, which ones would create absolute chaos, and which combinations should be implemented immediately by Imagineering, STAT. It's attraction musical chairs! It's truly unnecessary armchair Imagineering. It's three adults with ADHD spending an unreasonable amount of time thinking about what would happen if a robot pirate encountered 300 singing dolls.Mousedebaters: for grown-up ears only.

Wake up, babe! It's Spooky Season! And you know what that means... our Ghost Host Justin is back for another episode! It's Top 10 week and this time it's all about bats.

Send us Fan MailDisney parks are supposed to feel effortless, but anyone who has stared down a two-hour standby line knows the truth: a great Disneyland or Walt Disney World day is built, not stumbled into. We kick things off with a tiramisu martini inspired by Disney dining (vanilla vodka, Bailey's, Kahlua, espresso, cream, and cocoa) and then we commit to the bit: “mansplaining Disney” with the most useful, overly specific advice we can muster. We get into real Disney trip planning strategy that saves time and money without turning your vacation into misery. Think rope drop priorities, why traditional meal times are a trap, and how to use crowd flow to your advantage. Then we dig into rides, from can't-miss experiences like Rise of the Resistance to classic staples like Haunted Mansion and Space Mountain, plus the practical stuff people forget to ask: How do Lightning Lane, standby, and single rider really work for your group, and where should you sit for the best ride experience? Food gets the same treatment. We talk best bang-for-your-buck Disney snacks, what's actually worth buying, and why some iconic items (hello, blue milk) are less about taste and more about doing the things at least once. We also cover what to pack for a park day, from sunscreen timing and blister prevention to ponchos, hydration, and the simple mindset shift that keeps your day on track: plan, pivot, and do not go full meltdown when the plan changes. If you laughed, learned something, or disagreed with our churro takes, subscribe, share the show with a Disney friend, and leave us a review. Then send us a comment or a text and tell us your #1 rule for surviving a Disney day.

You can snag the new “Swirl Up Some Magic” cup featuring Mickey and friends for $10.49, and it comes filled with your choice of Dole Whip. – https://www.laughingplace.com/disney-parks/50-years-dole-whip-cup/ Disneyland marked its 71st birthday with a charming celebration that gave parkgoers a chance to celebrate. The highlight was a birthday version of the “Celebrate Happy Cavalcade,” complete with colorful balloons, a rainbow cake, and a crowd sing-along to honor the park. While it was a much more low-key affair than last year's milestone 70th, it made for a fun, blink-and-you'll-miss-it surprise for guests who caught the special moment. – https://www.micechat.com/439642-disneyland-news-halloween-birthday-bummer-earl-of-sandwich/ Discussion Topic: Games With James: The Disneywed Game Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
