| 6/20/26 | 192. Secrets of Disneyland’s Pirates of the Caribbean Queue: The Details Everyone Misses While Waiting in Line | What storytelling do most people miss in the Pirates of the Caribbean queue while they are waiting in line? And what bizarre detail dates back to Disneyland’s opening day?On this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we examine the history of the exterior facade and queue for Disneyland’s iconic Pirates of the Caribbean attraction. Along the way, we find some history that most people overlook, like an odd old tree with some history, a mysterious anchor, and a sign of welcome in plain sight. Kirk gives us a botanical tour of the plants in the queue, Kate points out some features of New Orleans Square that have a hidden meaning, and we both question the effectiveness of the flyover bridge.As we discover architectural concepts and original Imagineering documents throughout this episode, we discover that this exterior queue has so many fascinating details you’ll (almost) get excited to stand in line for this classic Disney ride.

Peter Pan Stories You’ve Never Heard: The Hidden History of Disney's Peter Pan Animated Film - Peter Pan Part 1 | What bizarre technique did Disney's artists use to make Tinker Bell glow? And what disturbing story elements did Disney change from the original novel when they created their feature film?On this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk, we follow the second start to the right as we explore the fascinating art, history, animation, and development of Disney’s Peter Pan animated feature film. Along the way, we discover some bizarre truths about the original novel, find some unique connections between Peter Pan and another iconic Disney attraction, and hear some behind-the-scenes stories of how this film was created.

Kate gives us some insight into how Tinker Bell was created, Kirk explains the origin of the Lost Boys, and we take a moment to reflect on the similarities between two creative men and what a boy who didn’t want to grow up meant to them.

What the Tower of Terror Borrowed from the Haunted Mansion: The Lost Concepts That Changed the Ride - DCA & DLP Tower of Terror - Part 29 | How did lost concepts from the Haunted Mansion inspire the Tower of Terror?Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we check into California Adventure's lost Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within its design.In this final episode in our 29-part Tower of Terror series, we check out of the DCA and DLP versions of the Tower of Terror, exploring details on the ride and in the exit of the attraction. After hearing some descriptions from the official Imagineering show guide, we explore the secrets of the looking glass, with a detour to a dark entertainment spot in Paris along the way. Kirk explains some changes to the ride mechanics and goes over the creepy new storyline for the Disneyland Paris version, before Kate walks us off the ride to explore the Modern Wonders in the shopping arcade at the exit.

| 1/10/26 | 173. Horrifying Storytelling in the Tower of Terror Boiler Room: The Man Disney Left to Burn - DCA & DLP Tower of Terror - Part 28 | There were hidden secrets in the Boiler Room of the DCA Tower of Terror that made it the most TERRIFYING version of all, but most people walked right past them without noticing the detailed storytelling. Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we check into California Adventure's lost Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within its design.In this episode, we timidly step into the boiler room of the DCA and DLP versions of the Tower of Terror, starting with the poetic words of the original Imagineering Show Info Guide. Then we lean in to take a closer look at the employee bulletin board, clock in for work, and make a few phone calls on a vintage rotary pay phone. Kate explains some horrific (and perhaps too obvious) storytelling, Kirk walks us through the history of Stanley's thermoses at the mechanics desk, and we ponder the bizarre location of a chair repair station. After hearing some lost voices and laughing at the absurdity of our obsession with Disney's lamps, we wrap up this boiler room episode that compares and contrasts the Disney California Adventure version of the Hollywood Tower Hotel to the one still currently in Disneyland Paris (with a few glances at the Hollywood Studios version as well).

| 12/6/25 | 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. | — | ||||||
| 11/22/25 | 169. The REAL Reason the Tower of Terror Felt So Creepy: The Disturbing Inspirations Behind DCA & DLP's Tower Lobbies - Tower of Terror Part 25 | What is the REAL reason the DCA version of the Hollywood Tower Hotel used to feel so creepy when you stepped inside?Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we check into California Adventure's lost Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within its design. In this episode, we check into the DCA and DLP versions of the Tower of Terror, wandering the gardens in the exterior queue before stepping into the lobby to see what we can find. Along the way, we play some cards, drink some tea, and explore the nuances of the differences between this version and the one we spent 23 episodes exploring in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Kate uses an Imagineering show info guide to give us a tour of this iconic lobby, Kirk teaches us some new card games, and we both take a side trip to one of the most famous hotels in America to learn how the Imagineers used fear in the collective unconscious to shape their set design. | — | ||||||
| 11/15/25 | 168. Designing a Cheaper Tower of Terror: Changing Disney's Iconic Attraction - DCA & DLP's Tower - ToT - Part 24 | Why did Disney’s Tower of Terror change its design when it moved locations? And who was Buddy the Bellhop?Drop in with us on this episode of Distory with Kate & Kirk as we check into California Adventure's lost Hollywood Tower Hotel to decipher the history, secrets, and stories hidden within its design.In this episode, we travel to Disneyland Resort to visit the California Adventure version of the Tower of Terror for the first time, covering the concept, design, changes in mechanics, and backstory of this version of the attraction. Because the Disneyland Paris version is almost identical to the one in California, we add that Tower into the mix as well on this international Disney treasure hunt. Along the way, we share some rare Imagineering documents, discuss some never-created attractions, and explore the differences between this version and the one in Disney's Hollywood Studios. Kate discusses some connections to Walt’s history found in the Tower, Kirk translates some German, and we both get a little confused by the Tower’s commercial mascot from 2004 that doesn’t quite fit the storytelling of the Hollywood Tower Hotel.
