The Hollywood Tower Hotel has a few secrets on its verandah, and odds are you’ve walked by them without even knowing they were there.
Drop in with us to the Hollywood Tower Hotel as we saunter through the patio, verandah, and balcony of this iconic Disney attraction! In this episode of Distory, we explore the Imagineering details most guests miss while waiting in line for the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, including the meaning behind the statues in the garden, the storytelling of the dry pond, and some plants (both real and fake). Along the way, we will take a closer look at some Imagineering color boards, discuss the hidden meaning of the Tower of Terror’s logo, and find a cornerstone that holds greater meaning than more guests realize. Kate illuminates a connection to the Twilight Zone for the lamps on the front porch, Kirk tells us some… odd… plant names, and we end this episode with a rare piece of concept art from the front porch of an earlier version of the Tower.
