Hollywood, 1940. The Hollywood Tower Hotel is reopening after a year-long closure following the tragic events of 1939—you know, the one where an elevator cab carrying five people was struck by lightning and never seen again? After taking the year off to “renovate,” the hotel is opening back up with its newest, exclusive lounge—The Twilight Zone. Management decided they needed a flashy hangout to attract back the Hollywood elite. However, something is not quite right with this place. While the rest of the Hollywood Tower Hotel looks abandoned and desolate, The Twilight Zone is bright and lively—always buzzing with staff and patrons. It's been this way since opening. While the rest of the hotel would eventually close and fade away, The Twilight Zone always stayed booked and busy, to the amazement of everyone since, you see, The Hollywood Tower Hotel never actually reopened…Project Manager: KaityDon't forget to check us out on Instagram and our brand new website!

The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror is a Disney ride in which you get in an elevator that flings you up and down for about a minute. As you can probably tell from that description, it's rich with narrative potential, which is why we have 1997's Tower of Terror movie starring Steve Guttenberg and Kirsten Dunst, the movie we're talking about today. Guttenberg plays the improbably named Buzzy Crocker, a fraudulent journalist who is presented with the opportunity of a lifetime: head to the derelict Hollywood Tower Hotel to solve the mysterious disappearance of five people from the elevator on Halloween night, 1939. Will Buzzy be able to get to the bottom of what happened? Is the hotel haunted? And will his sister finally relent and let him take photos of his niece in an abandoned building? Listen and find out! This episode was recorded live at the Prince Charles Cinema, London on October 29th, 2023.

We take a peek into the possibility of Mel Brooks running the Hollywood Tower Hotel with this early iteration where comedy ruled instead of screams! Hop on an elevator and catch a movie monster or two as we see what happens when Michael Eisner tries to ensnare the master of parody with a semi-spooky E-ticket attraction! --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ryan-oreilly0/support

For over five decades, it has been so much more than a vacation destination, but has become a living storybook wherein we find ourselves at the center of the tale.  Inside every chapter is an epic journey portending to unfold. On every page we find an invitation embossed with each of our names, inviting us to chart a course for adventure. A magic carpet ride, perhaps, or aboard a pirate ship bound for Neverland…oh, the wondrous places we'll go!  All around us, we encounter intricacy and intentionality in every moment - a testament to the innovative minds who have brought these stories to life, spurred on by their sovereign ethos that it's kind of fun to create the impossible. Here, the philosophy is this: that the only thing standing in the way of your dreams becoming your reality is your own imagination.  Today, we invite you to set that imagination free and come along with us as we carry our dreams to new heights. Climb aboard your very own chariot in the clouds and be Here With the Magic - we're taking to the skies and setting sail aboard the Disney Skyliner! Rising high above the waterways and pavilions of EPCOT's World Showcase, our journey begins with a peek into the romantic courtyards and elegant gardens of beautiful France. Soaring over the world-renowned Gusteau's, we can almost smell the fluffy, sugar-dusted crêpes and nutty fromage wafting from Chef Remy's kitchen.  Up, up, and away we go, waving a wistful “Au Revoir” to charming Paris. After a quick little jaunt above the pastel whimsy and swinging ragtime of the Boardwalk, we find ourselves at once in the heart of Walt Disney World. From way up Here, we can spot the temples and clocktowers of World Showcase gliding past alongside our gondola, a curious collection of international treasures reaching toward the heavens. The geodesic shell of Spaceship Earth glints in the bright sunlight, striking and futuristic against its more historic counterparts at EPCOT Center.  (7:05) In the distance, a majestic kingdom looms larger and larger as we approach, stunning and regal against a brilliant blue sky. Disney's Riviera Resort, a celebration of the azure coasts of Italy and the opulence of the South of France, this European seaside retreat is a feast for the senses and a joy to discover.  Lavish with luxury and an escape into our most rose-colored wanderlust daydreams, the sparkling lagoon and wrought-iron balconies that surround this place are breathtaking to behold. And although we're just passing through, our excitement for what other wonders we might encounter as we continue on our journey blooms with every second.   (8:47) Onward we sail, ascending skyward once again. This time, we're trading in the opulence of the Riviera for the laid-back vibes of the Caribbean. Nestled in a lush, tropical wilderness and bordered by silken, white-sand beaches, the quaint island hideaway of Disney's Caribbean Beach Resort burst with vibrant color and vivid life.  Here, each charming village is enrobed in shades of turquoise and aquamarine, coral and sunshine yellow. The steel drum sounds of the tropics and the easy, breezy atmosphere seem to enliven our spirit even as we drift above - a quiet moment of joy above the sweet serenity of our own Caribbean oasis.  While we could happily prolong this island interlude, our Skyliner convoy has landed in the Hub, where we are promptly whisked away once again to new, fantastic points of view. This time, we're headed along Hourglass Lake on a grand circle tour of some larger-than-life childhood memories to inspire nostalgia for all ages.  (10:31) At Disney's Pop Century Resort, the sock hops and Walkmans which brought music and laughter to each distinctive decade are preserved in a living time capsule. An escape to a simpler time, the retro feel and novelty shapes and colors make this an unforgettable place to discover. Every moment Here exudes reminiscence and fun; a chance to experience the joys of generations and find Magic in the fabric of our yesterdays.  And as we sail through time, back to yesteryear, we find our gaze wandering across the lake to Disney's Art of Animation Resort. Here, we find concept art and sketches from some of our favorite Disney stories practically springing off the page. From the Pridelands and Route 66 to a plunge Fathoms Below into the Big, Blue World of Nemo, Ariel, and all those beloved Under the Sea friends, this is a place that captivates the young and the young at heart, bringing fairytales and adventures to life in truly spectacular ways. Humming a Hakuna Matata tune all the way, we bid a fond farewell to our redolent memories and allow our escort to return us to the hustle and bustle of the Skyliner terminal, but only for a moment. Once again we careen into the clouds aboard our airborne carriage, this time heading for all the glitz and glamour of Tinseltown and the gleaming black spires of Galaxy's Edge.  (17:00) Away we go, into the blissful blue and off toward the marquees and marvels of the golden age of Hollywood.  Sound stages scattered across film lots and the ornate exterior of the incomparable Chinese Theater are visible just ahead, and the shadowy outline of the Hollywood Tower Hotel looms at the end of Sunset Boulevard, intriguing and foreboding in equal measure. Although our excursion into this bustling young movie town is a brief and round trip affair, the exhilarating energy of this place is palpable even from the sky. A glimpse into the Hollywoodland of Walt's early career, there is joy and anticipation wrapped in each and every moment.  (22:05) Still, we've got one final leg of our journey to complete, and our cortège is already gliding back into the station once again before we are revived from our Golden State reverie. Soon we find ourselves yet again greeted by the postcard panorama of the Riviera, picturesque and perfect as we left it before.  Before we know it, the tapered zenith of the Tour de Eiffel is growing larger as we descend into the International Gateway, bringing our Skyliner journey at an end at last. Where we'll go from Here, well, that's a story that is still unwritten. Whether we soar through the skies or sail along crystalline waters or let our own two feet lead the way, there is unlimited Magic for those willing to make the journey. Each step is one in the right direction where imagination is our guide and joy is our companion.  It is the journey, after all, and not the destination, which fill the pages of the most magnificent stories. From tales of travel to faraway lands to gambles down rabbit holes and into the wonderland of our cherished memories, it is that first spark of inspiration which leads us down new paths, intuition mingling with curiosity and leading us into a world of Magic that we can return to time and time again.  It is the journey that evokes the most powerful memories. Being Here, surrounded in the skies by invigorating joy, we feel emboldened to say yes to new adventures, to keep moving forward. Onward, ever onward, we know that each and every moment will be filled with wonder, with sights and sounds and stories to lift us up when we feel low, and with Magic to bring us to our happiest places whenever we summon the spirit of our imagination and take to the skies.

While many Americans were celebrating a return to post-war normalcy and living outside their means, a young Walt Disney packed his belongings and the little money he had and headed for Hollywood. Despite warnings from his father, Walt was inspired by a life in Tinseltown and determined to make his mark on the industry. He arrived to Hollywood in 1923 with just forty dollars, some cartoon sketches, and the audacious hope that rallies a childlike spirit. Over the course of the following decades, and long after his death, his legacy remains one of the most profound and incredible in American history. His films are beloved in the hearts and homes of people around the world and his theme parks, which span continents and language barriers, are visited by millions of guests, year-round. He could have never known, as he stepped off the train and into the warm California sunshine, that he would grow to become one the most cherished advocates for joy and happiness to ever live. He could have never known that the sketch of a genial little mouse nestled in his briefcase would spring to life and inspire smiles and laughter for generations. That is the Magic of Hollywoodland - that a person from humble beginnings with scrappy ideas can become a star, a cultural icon in their own right. This place captures all the charm and dazzling ambition of its golden age, just as Walt knew it. Touches of imagination enhance its vibrancy, its jazzy swing, its ability to stay rooted resolutely in this postwar era of prosperity. (6:16) Hear the jazzy music beginning to swell? It's inviting us to step into the story of one of the most beloved and famous streets in America…welcome to Sunset Boulevard. (8:00) Resplendent with sunny sidewalks and towering palm trees, eye-catching shops and decadent treats, Sunset Boulevard is a darling retreat into an era of emerging starlets, big band music, and truly magnificent fashions. Here, telephones are mounted on walls with rotary dials and vinyl records crackle and jump on their players. Whimsical soda shops are usually riddled with any number of prospective film stars, perched expectedly on round leather barstools and sipping malts with due diligence and slightly queasy expressions. (11:12) Today, we have donned our oxfords or our saddle shoes and stepped back in time to the 1940s, and so immersive are our surroundings, the buildings with their art deco architecture of the late 1920s and 30s, that at any moment we might expect to see Lucille Ball peering into boutiques on the hunt for movie stars, or perhaps Frank Sinatra tilting his fedora slightly lower as he walks past us, in an effort to avoid detection. (12:00) At the time of Walt's earlier successes, the theater district of Los Angeles was abuzz with excitement and whirring with new ideas and production. Here on Sunset Boulevard, we are treated to a generous preview of what it might have been like to hobnob with actors and attend extravagant premieres. The Beverly Sunset Theater at the top of the street boasts a flashing marquee, and a gleaming 1941 gold Cadillac seems to have pulled up right across the street to chauffeur some of Hollywood's elite to the event. (13:26) In fact, all along Sunset Boulevard there are a collection of unique and ornate theaters, each showcasing different coming attractions and “now showing” advertisements. They are inspired by the genuine articles, counterparts which were once popular locations for film premieres during the heyday of Hollywood. Even Carthay Circle theater can be located as we make our way to the next block of Sunset. Here, we find threads of reminiscence for the theater which once hosted the premiere for Snow White and the Seven Dwarves, one of the highlight's of Walt Disney's career and the first feature-length animated film in history. (15:00) All around us, nods to an American love of moviegoing and a growing fascination with stardom are apparent. From the sprawling Sunset Ranch Market, where Robert Taylor once signed an orange for an avid fan (much to Ricky Ricardo's dismay), to the Hollywood Scoops ice cream shop where it is rumored Lana Turner was discovered drinking an ice cream soda until she got a brain freeze, making it rather difficult for her to recall the name of the producer who recommended her for his next picture. Remnants of the lives and luxuries of those burgeoning movie stars are everywhere, making us feel swept up in the giddy romance of it all. The Andrews Sisters croon at us as we meander, and Glenn Miller's lively orchestra keeps time with the whimsical mood. All up and down the Boulevard, trolley cars and quaint park benches make invite us to spend a moment or a while sightseeing and taking in the views. (16:16) For those of us looking to have an authentic Hollywood experience, trolley tours and sidewalk sightseeing simply won't suffice. A sun-worn billboard at the end of Sunset, partially obscured by branches, advertises “fashionable dining” and “modern accommodations” at the renowned Hollywood Tower Hotel. (18:51) Staying right in the middle of the glitz and glitter of this bustling young movie town sounds like a riveting invitation, so we make our way to the end of the street, and into the gardens in the Hollywood Tower Hotel courtyard. Cracked stone fountains and overgrown foliage give an air of neglect to what were obviously once elegant, well-tended grounds. Echoes of big band music and haunting vocals reverberate through the trellises creeping with vines, each note sounding as though they were being performed from inside a cavern. (22:22) The eerie feeling of desertion is elevated to a disconcerting level upon entry into the grand lobby. A vast, high-ceilinged room, ornate at one time and now coated in an impenetrable layer of cobwebs and dust, there is no doubt in our minds that this place is surely abandoned, no longer accommodating guests…right? The echoes of trumpets and brass are still more pronounced here in the dimly lit atrium, still littered with suitcases and hatboxes from guests who had apparently checked in and either failed to remember their belongings upon departure or...and this thought is more alarming still…never checked out. (23:20) And yet, this place only appears to be long-since forsaken, as a mysterious bellhop calls us out of our reverie and over an equally lusterless library which obviously has not seen a book removed from its shelves in many years. Suddenly, everything goes dark and we are pulled firmly and possibly irreversibly from the warm nostalgia of young Hollywood and into another dimension…a dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. Back to a stormy night in 1939 when five people stepped into an elevator in this very hotel and never stepped out… (25:26) We have embodied their story, taken on its narrative as our own as we find ourselves traveling through lightning struck corridors and falling down, down, down…into the past, into the darkness, into…the gift shop? (27:00) And just as quickly as storms roll in, we are back on the sun-soaked sidewalks of Sunset Boulevard and the glorious glamour of 1940s Hollywood, nothing sinister in sight. Perhaps we ought to treat ourselves to an ice cream sundae, or simply a leisurely stroll to the Brown Derby to see if we can spot some movie stars out to lunch? The world is your oyster in Hollywood; anyone can be anything. We can be a crooner, or a comic, a famous star or a shrewd producer. Or, we can simply be Here, beneath the gently swaying palms and the vivid marquees, quietly observing a piece of history glittering with opportunity. A place where, nearly a hundred years ago, a man stepped off a train and into the sunlight with just forty dollars, a vivd imagination, and a fantastic dream he was determined would come true. Hollywood is a place of mystery and Magic, of grit and grandeur, and the story told Here embodies it all in one joyful celebration of audacious, impervious hope. Whatever brings you Here, whatever dream you carry with you, it's sure to be an adventure. Ready for your close-up? Lights, camera…action!

Walt Disney World's 50th Anniversary, "The World's Most Magical Celebration," has begun. The 18 month-long event brings new attractions, nighttime spectaculars, and other magical experiences to Walt Disney World resort. Shining at the center of it all is Cinderella Castle at Magic Kingdom Park, welcoming guests with gleaming gold bunting, sparkling golden embellishments. During the 50th-anniversary celebration, all of Walt Disney World's theme parks icons transform at night into Beacons of Magic, each coming to life with their unique EARidescent glow. Cinderella Castle illuminates Magic Kingdom Park with a dazzling radiance and pixie-dust sparkle. At Disney's Animal Kingdom Theme Park, a warm light emanates from the Tree of Life as fireflies gather to usher in the magic of nature. The Hollywood Tower Hotel at Disney's Hollywood Studios is awash in brilliance, evoking the golden age of imagination and adventure. And at EPCOT, new lights shine across the reflective panels of Spaceship Earth, connecting like stars in a nighttime sky and creating a mesmerizing symbol of optimism. The iconic structure's permanent new lighting will continue beyond "The World's Most Magical Celebration" as a park's defining feature. The transformation takes place multiple times per night, and I can't pick my favorite. Let me know which is your favorite in the comments below.

Before we visit the Hollywood Tower Hotel, here are five fast facts about The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror 1.  The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios on July 22, 1994. 2.  In order to get the perfect free-fall effect for guests, imagineers actually attached cables to the bottom of the elevators to pull them down faster than a regular free fall would.  The elevator cars can reach speeds of 39 miles per hour!  15 times the speed of a regular elevator. 3. In 2004, the attraction was reprogrammed to use a randomized series of drops.  This provides each group of guests with a completely different experience each time they ride. This led to the promotional slogan: Never the Same Fear Twice 4.  The attraction’s pre-show was directed by director Joe Dante, known for directing such horror films as Piranah, The Howling and Gremlins 2: The New Batch.  5. One of my favorite Tower of Terror facts is that it can actually be seen from EPCOT’s World Showcase Lagoon!  The top of the Tower of Terror was decorated so that it blended in with the skyline of the Morocco pavilion and be less noticeable. Now it’s time to ride The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror!  After the ride, John and I will discuss our thoughts on this attraction so stay tuned for that.  This is a binaural recording so if you have headphones, put them on now as we ride The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!

Leave us a quick review   Twilight Zone Tower of Terror- Unlocked The Tower of Terror is exactly how you would expect.... absolutely terrifying LOL. The attraction, which is based on the popular television series from the late 1950's is so terrifying, that our now teenage (-eek!) daughter still won't go near it after having gone on the attraction at age 10! The Hollywood Tower Hotel, located inside Disney's Hollywood studios, glows in the distance and seems to have a ghostly, magnetic pull that draws you inside.  Upon "checking in" at the hotel, you feel as if time stood still during the Golden Age of Hollywood. Disney cast members "tell the story" seamlessly throughout the attraction and by the time you enter the unlucky elevator, you really feel as if you are doomed. What to listen for: Why our teenager won't go back What makes this attraction so terrifying Fast Pass yes or no? Where is the most thrilling seat on the ride The must see movie based on this attraction When and where to take pictures Links From The Show: Tower of Terror Movie Guest Blog with us Give us a quick review Like us on Facebook Say hello on Twitter Thanks For Listening!

Disney’s Hollywood Studios has a new icon, and it’s not the Chinese Theatre? We think the Hollywood Tower Hotel will do just fine.
