"Who's Afraid of Cory Wolf" was the 1994 Halloween episode. "No Guts, No Cory" features Salem the cat; he sends Cory back to World War II. "Brave New World" is the two part finale to the series.

And "Boy Meets World" spawned "Girl Meets World" (2014-2017). From there you can link to most of the Disney Channel universe, from "Austin and Ally" to "Hannah Montana." But that is about the outer edges of this branch of the universe.
