170. The Lost Secrets in DCA's Tower of Terror Lobby: Creepy Dolls, Hidden Relics, & 1939 Hollywood Mysteries

A doll, brochure, and magazine in the DCA Tower of Terror Lobby were all telling a story, but no one has ever fully understood their significance... until now. Drop in with us as we check into California Adventure's lost Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within its elegant (yet terrifying) design.In this episode, we check into the lobby of the DCA and DLP versions of the Tower of Terror and take in all the details of these two highly detailed set designs. Along the way, we explore the signs of the golden age of Hollywood, discuss some lost relics of 1930s culture, and take a few rabbit trails here and there into other fascinating places in Disney history. Kirk explains the creepy doll on the couch, Kate does a deep dive into Disney’s Oz connections, and we both compare and contrast this lobby with the original in Florida, and how the Imagineers reimagined this attraction on a budget.
