From the made-for-TV movie, Tower of Terror, to the new blockbuster hit, Jungle Cruise. Disney has a long history of adapting theme park attractions into theatrical releases. 

On this episode, we discuss Disney's Secret Society, the Society of Explorers and Adventurers, with fellow Disney expert, Josh Steele of the Adventurers Project. The conversation began with the Adventurers Club to the modern addition of the Jungle Cruise. The expanding universe of S.E.A. includes: Toyko Disney SEA's Porto Paradiso, Magellan's, Hotel Hightower, and Soaring - Fantastic Flight; Mystic Manor; Miss Adventure Falls;  Big Thunder Mountain Railroad; Skipper Canteen; and Jungle Cruise. In addition to the canon S.E.A. attraction, we dive into the potential connections, which includes Haunted Mansion, Phantom Manor, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Pirates of the Caribbean, Jock Lindsey, and Rocketeer.

ExtraTERRORestrial Alien Encounter was a theater-in-the-round attraction that opened at Disney’s Magic Kingdom on June 20th, 1995, which replaced Mission to Mars. In this episode we take a look at the attraction’s origins as an ride inspired by the movie Alien, the changes it went through during planning and development and its closure in 2003. Once closed, the attraction was rethemed to the popular 2000's hit movie, Lilo and Stitch, with Stitch's Great Escape.
