If you’ve ever dropped into The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, there’s a pretty good chance you’ve met TJ, the iconic bellhop who’s been greeting (and spooking) guests since opening day. The tower first welcomed riders back in July 1994, which means TJ has been holding down the haunted fort for over 31 years now, about 31 years and 4 months to be exact. A true Disney legend still keeping the hotel’s eerie charm alive.

What if Dr. Seeker accidentally scheduled our Time Rover mission in full daylight instead of the dead of night? 🌞🦖

A couple years ago we somehow ended up riding DINOSAUR with the lights on, and it was absolutely unreal. Seeing every dino, every set piece, and every hidden detail just sitting there in plain sight makes the whole ride feel completely different. Such a rare, once-in-a-blue-moon look inside a Disney classic that will be closing permanently soon 🦕

Throwback to that hilarious 2011 Walt Disney World commercial where the Jungle Cruise animals were convinced they could sneak in on the Florida Resident deal 🐘🦒😂
Only at Disney do you end up rooting for a giraffe trying to qualify for discounted admission.
Who remembers this one?

Tower Of Terror Preshow behind the scenes🎥.
Step back to the early 90s as director Joe Dante and the Imagineering team crafted the eerie Twilight Zone Tower of Terror preshow at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. From atmospheric lighting to that vintage Twilight Zone tension, this rare look shows how filmmakers and Imagineers blurred the line between theme park and cinema. If you’ve ever stood in that lobby and felt the chills… here’s the creative spark that started it all. 👀🔦

A special piece of Disney history…
This newly restored clip from a 1982 interview at EPCOT with Lillian Disney and Diane Disney, who we remember today, November 19, the day she unfortunately passed in 2013. It captures a rare moment when asked about the man who started it all.

Walt set the spark for EPCOT, but how would he feel about the Imagineers’ final interpretation?

Their insight is heartfelt, honest, and a beautiful reminder of how deeply Walt’s legacy lived within his family. ✨

A glimpse into the dream… and the people who knew the dreamer best.

It’s amazing how much magic came from one small idea, and how that idea grew into a character who shaped millions of childhoods around the world.

Here’s to 97 years of magic… and many more. ✨
