Best Secrets in Disneyland

[DisneyJulieZ]

Kayla's mom--we'll look for you! LOL! We're the typical Disney family-of-four (mom, dad, 5 year old DD and almost 2yo DS)...both in strollers! So, I'll have a better chance of spotting you that you will me...so I'll keep my eyes peeled! Have a GREAT time!!

Sherwin--I think I read earlier in the post that it was due to budget cuts post-Nemo as the reason for Mickey no longer climbing the Matterhorn. Not sure if that's the official reason or not...but sounds like we won't get to see him this trip.

I did hear Mickey stopped ascending the Matterhorn. What's the reason behind that?

I have no idea. We went for my 19th birthday in 2006 and I remember seeing it. But that was the last time. I thought it was really neat, I wish they'd bring it back.

We went in January for an extended visit (6 days) and saw Mickey climbing the matterhorn. Though they were filming that day from a helicopter so that may have been the reason for an exception...

Take note that the tender rides are on seats like the Stagecoach at Knotts Berry Farm as to the rail around the edge. Me and Calvin rode in the tender and I still got hip ouchies but it was so fun to see Calvin riding like a kid on the tender. seats are not meant for two wide hipped people and that metal bar is not padded but oh that ride was so fun because I never done it and to watch Calvin in awe over everything was sheer magic.

It took 15 minutes waiting then a second night time try for about 15 to 25 minutes but we got on. Only the two 1950's trains that Walt build have the tender seating. Thanks Walt. The trains are scaled down in size but are exact copies of 19th century technology. Wow this dude was explaining things like atomizers and recycled cooking oil.

in the queue for Indi you can see an Eyeore parking lot sign still on one of the light poles! Also make sure to find the geographic center of DL it's the gold spike under the castle!

I look every time and I still have not seen the Eyeore sign.

Walk into Downtown Disney and take the Monorail into the park. No lines and you get off in Tomorrowland. Also, if you are lucky to get toward the front of the line when the monorail arrives your kids can ride up front with the driver!!

DBF and I love riding up front!

 

[mechurchlady]

DLR allows 5 passengers and the best part is riding with a great pilot and a newbie friend. My friend loves machines and how anything works. He was so awestruck that I think the cab ride on the monorail was better than him winning life time tickets to Angel Stadium unless free food was included, lol.

I could never find it either. Then one day I asked a CM about it before entering the projection room. He took us all the way up to the front of the room, then shined a flashlight to the very back wall up near the ceiling...and there was the Eeyore sign!! Ask next time, they will bring you past all the people waiting in the projection room & show it to you.

I've always tried to find it and one day I kept lookking back to see if maybe I could spot it after the millionth time. I was almost out of the projection room when the CM standing in the front randomly shone his flashlight. I looked back and saw the sign! I wonder if he did it bc I kept looking back. Anyways, I was SUPER happy and so excited that I saw it. I don't think anyone else was even paying attention.

1) What exactly is the apple situation for Snow White's ride?
Are there 2 different apples--one that makes the Queen cackle and one that makes something else happen?
Or is there only the golden one above the story book? Or is that one not there anymore?

What is the apple thing all about? We haven't been on Snow White, and I'd love to have a "mission" when taking the kids on it for the first time.

When you put your hand over the golden apple, you can hear the Old Hag cackle.

Must remember to look for this sign!

I can't tell you how many times our bus parked in "E for Eeyore" on school trips to perform! They drilled it into our head which section it was so we wouldn't miss the bus back!

Ahhh, memories ...

I've read that both POTC and the Haunted Mansion are both actually outside the railway. If Indy has a parking sign in it is it also outside the railway?

 

[Mike_M]

Yup, Indy is 'Beyond the berm' as well. So is a large part of Splash Mountain.

Haunted Mansion and Pirates have buildings outside the berm. Toontown is a land outside the berm. Monorail of course goes past the berm. Splash Mountain was built around the berm and thus you go over the train tracks then under them.

Just be sure to have a CM shine a flashlight on it for you, otherwise it's way too dark for you to see it!

I know this is technically not a secret but... the Cone Shop on Main St is the best place to get ice cream! I always walk past Gibson Girl with the super long line and then head to the Cone Shop. I've never seen more than 5 people in line. And they have the amazing Firehouse Sundae!
