Are these tips & secrets still there?

[DisneyWalle]

I'm planning for an August Disney trip with my mother and sister. We would like to do things that we have never had the opportunity to do in the past because of children or husbands (things they found boring). Could anyone tell me if these tips and secrets are still there? When did you last see them?

The talking phones on Main Street & Tommorrowland

The talking Goofy statue on the Main Street bench.

The hidden paintbrushes on Tom Sawyer's Island.

The talking fountains near Innoventions in Epcot.

If anyone knows of anything else that is unusual (not a tour) that is still available to do, please let me know. Thank you! I love the Dis!

Thank you for the lists! I have already looked at those. However, they are not up to date - some of the secrets and tips are no longer available. Can anyone tell me if these are still active in the parks? When was the last time anyone used or saw the phones, talking goofy, paintbrushes and the talking fountains. I appreciate the dis' help in making our upcoming trip "funtastic!"

I don't know about any of those, but when we were there last year, we saw the talking trash can at Conservation Station in AK. (Have to take the train to get down there.)

As of last August the paint brushes were still on Tom Sawyers Island

Thank you! We plan on looking for them during our August trip.


Does anyone know about the other secrets/tips listed above?

In the MK in one of the stores, there is a telephone that if you pick up the receiver you can hear a mother and daughter talking.

Perfect!

These are the phones I was talking about. When was the last time you saw them? Was it recently?

We sat next to Goofy this year during Spring Break hoping to hear him talk but he didn't.

We also didn't find the talking fountains in Innovations in March. I don't know if they are gone or we just were missing them.

Thank you!

So we have confirmed the fun phones in Magic Kingdom and the paintbrushes on Tom Sawyer island are still active.

Goofy doesn't talk anymore.

Still not sure about the talking fountains in Epcot. Has anyone seen them in the last 2 months?

I looked for the talking water fountain at EPCOT - it used to be near the restrooms - no luck. Look for the key under the mat at the Muppets entrance in DHS.

I went in May.

The talking phone on Main Street didn't work. Not sure about the one in tomorrow land.

The talking Goofy statue on the Main Street bench was still there but it didn't say anything.

The hidden paintbrushes on Tom Sawyer's Island was still there.

I think the talking fountains near Innoventions in Epcot were taken out. They haven't worked for it in a very long time.
