The Tower of Terror almost featured an award show hosted by Eddie Murphy and Elvira, Mistress of the Night — with Godzilla as the star. Chris goes deep on the full origin story of Hollywood Studios’ most iconic ride: from the original Six Flags drop tower that inspired it, to the Young Frankenstein castle that almost got built instead, to why Rod Serling’s widow personally helped cast the voice actor who replaced him. Plus Kelli breaks down everything you need to know about Coven Academy, the new Disney+ series that hit #1 in one day and has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes — including why it moved from Disney Channel to Freeform, and why the dark magic is intentionally written as an addiction metaphor.

In this episode:

• Fort Wilderness holiday sleigh rides are now bookable — includes s’mores and a movie at the end
• Disney Believe inaugural cruise sets sail December 18, 2027, featuring an Encanto stage show
• Mobile ordering coming soon to Nomad Lounge at Animal Kingdom
• Disney Plus will broadcast this year’s Super Bowl
• Joe Rohde confirms the Expedition Everest Yeti will be fully replaced, not repaired — “if they could fix the Yeti, they would have fixed the Yeti”
• Gertie the Dinosaur Christmas Loungefly purse is here and it is extremely cute
• Holiday overlays coming November 25–January 6: Cosmic Rewind (Andy Williams, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, The Waitresses), Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster (The Muppets’ Electric Mayhem with Kermit and Fozzie singing Holiday Road and Christmas Baby Please Come Home, plus Cyndi Lauper and the Electric Mayhem on Silver Bells), and Alien Swirling Saucers (Toyland, Deck the Halls, Joy to the Swirl)
• Coven Academy is now #1 on Disney+, has 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, and is completely original — not based on any book or IP. Creator Tim Federle pitched it as “Wednesday with witches.” The dark magic is coded as an addiction metaphor, which is why it moved from Disney Channel to Freeform. Episodes are 13-19 minutes each, all 21 dropped at once. Devon Sawa is playing two roles. Miss Graves being Briar’s mom was not in the original script — it happened because of on-set chemistry between Tiffani Thiessen and Malina Weissman
• Tower of Terror origin story: why Disney built it, the drop tower at Six Flags Magic Mountain that inspired it, the rejected Jules Verne volcano concept for Disneyland Paris, the Stephen King stories idea, the Vincent Price ghost tour concept, the Eddie Murphy/Elvira/Godzilla award show pitch, the Young Frankenstein castle with Mel Brooks that almost happened, the $140 million construction that opened July 22, 1994, the design deliberately chosen to blend with EPCOT’s Morocco Pavilion, how Otis Elevators helped build the drop system, the evolution from one to two to three drops to today’s random computer-selected sequence, how Rod Serling’s widow helped cast his voice replacement, the 1997 Steve Guttenberg/Kirsten Dunst Tower of Terror TV movie, and how the Tokyo DisneySea version follows a completely different storyline with no Twilight Zone connection

Chris goes deep on everything you need to know before Avengers Doomsday hits theaters December 18 — who Doctor Doom is, why Robert Downey Jr. is playing him, what the new Endgame end credit scenes are setting up, and his full theory on how Doomsday ends and what Secret Wars will reset in the MCU.

• Disney World Halloween daytime treats (no party ticket needed): Vampire Mickey light-up popcorn bucket, Mickey Pumpkin Caramel Apple, Large Mickey Spiderweb Cookie (the feathering!), Ghoulish Blue Raspberry Slushy at the Lunching Pad, Queen of Hearts Tart at Cheshire Cafe, S'mores Cup at Columbia Harbor House, Magic Potion Color-Changing Slushy at Liberty Square Market, Maleficent Funnel Cake at Epic Eats (Hollywood Studios, Oct 1), Ghost Cream Puff at ABC Commissary, Boneyard Cookies and Scream Sundae and Fall Ice Cream Cookie Dough Sandwich at Terra Treats (Animal Kingdom, Oct 1-31), Candy Corn Pop at Flame Tree Barbecue, Mummy Twist at Isle of Java/Kusafiri/Tamu Tamu

It's officially spooky season, and Kelli has done the research! A fully curated Disney Halloween merch guide with the best finds from Old Navy, Hallmark, Etsy, and Bath & Body Works, almost all under $50, heavy on Haunted Mansion and Pumpkin Mickey. Then Chris takes a trip down memory lane through four Disney attractions that no longer exist, including one at Hollywood Studios that he thinks might be the closest thing to a Broadway show he's ever seen, and one that was literally an island in the middle of Bay Lake.

In this episode:

• Magic of Disney Animation building opens September 14 at Hollywood Studios — interactive indoor playground, Once Upon a Studio Theater, meet and greets, roaming character interactions in the Animation Courtyard
• Coral Reef Restaurant closes September 8 through November 4 for planned maintenance
• Brown Derby Lounge at Hollywood Studios now open with covered seating
• Wolfgang Puck at Disney Springs canceling all reservations after September 13 — it's closing
• Scat Cat's Lounge at Port Orleans closes October 8 through January — beignets still available at the food court
• Candlelight Processional narrator list released — includes Jason Kelce and fan favorite classics
• Behind the Seeds Glimmering Greenhouses returning for Festival of the Holidays at EPCOT — evening tour with holiday light displays
• Gordon Ramsay at the Carnaby now open at Downtown Disney California — Beef Wellington and Brit pop '60s London vibes
• Disney Halloween merch guide under $50: Old Navy Disney collab (Fair Isle cardigan, pumpkin Mickey crew, graphic tees, cozy pet sweater, mini packable totes), Hallmark (three Haunted Mansion throws, Sanderson Sisters cauldron pillow, Winifred Sanderson hooded blanket, Hocus Pocus cauldron mug), Etsy (Zero 3D printed candle holder, Mickey pumpkin soap holder, pumpkin mouse throw), Bath & Body Works Nightmare Before Christmas collection, plus Home Goods and Poshmark tips
• 4 lost Disney attractions: Hunchback of Notre Dame Musical Adventure at Hollywood Studios (1996–2002, basically Broadway-level), River Country (the original Disney water park, open 1976–2001), Disney's Skyway (gondola from Fantasyland to Tomorrowland, opening day attraction), Discovery Island (zoological park on Bay Lake, 1974–1999, pre-Animal Kingdom)
