The Haunted Mansion gets a lot of traction this time of the year, and rightfully so. It's an amazing piece of theme park history, and one of the most iconic attractions around. But, what would it have been like had Walt Disney not passed away before it's opening? On today's show, we talk about rolly Crump's influence on the mansion, the planned-for-but-never-built Museum of the Weird, as well as 13 spooky facts you might not have known about the Haunted Mansion. Oh, and Erik has two. Oh, and we do some Disney News. Ok, that's it.

The Monsanto House of the Future was unlike anything guests to Disneyland had seen before. A glimpse of better days ahead, wrapped and secured inside a plastic shell. For ten years, people from all over queued up to walk the hallways of the House of the Future, marvel at all the time the fancy kitchen would save Mom, and inhale where were surely a lifetimes worth of microplastics. But where did this house design come from? Why was it made entirely of plastic? And where did it go? We chat about that, Erik tells us about some changes coming to the Disneyland resort hotels, and more!
