167. Behind the Locked Door: What Actually Disappeared from the Tower of Terror's Exit - Tower of Terror - Part 23
Description
Picture if you will a most unusual attraction exit, as the Tower of Terror’s final scenes hold controversy, history, and a mystery we still have yet to solve.
Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we check into Walt Disney World’s Hollywood Tower Hotel one last time to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within its design.
In this episode, we make our way out of the Tower, but not before we find some incredible hidden gems along the way. We start at the checkout desk, highlighting several hidden connections to the Twilight Zone and finding a Halloween postcard of questionable verbiage. Kate admires the ceiling with some original Imagineering color boards, and we spy a hidden Mickey before pausing outside the locked Sunset Room for some storytelling and secrets. Afterward, we head to Tower Gifts to see how this area changed in both concept and execution from the 1990s, before heading out of the Tower and giving a warm welcome back to all who made it through this long series with us.
