Best Secrets in Disneyland

[pycees312]

I have noticed the exact same thing! I can NOT believe that there are folks getting their feathers ruffled about others telling the 'secrets' on a thread that is just about that! Come on folks, SHARE the magic! There are several of the 'secret bathroom' videos on you tube.
We are just over 90 days from our first trip to DL and I can't wait! My daughter is asking if there is a Peter Pan/Tinkerbell storeat DL. Anybody here able to answer that for me?

Tinkerbell does have a small store.. and you can very well miss it. it's in Fantasyland.
So if you were standing in front of the sword and the stone and looked straight you would see the opening of the castle walkway. look to your right and there is a small tinkerbell store next to the castle opening...

That "Talk to Stitch" exhibit sounds cool! Tell me more!
It's similar to the Turtle Talk with Crush over at DCA but more of a one on one experience. You start by signing up on a waiting list if you are interested in talking to Stitch. The wait will vary depending on how crowded it is but each 'visit' runs about 5 minutes each. When it is your turn, you are led to the area that is set up with a large 'video phone' system that allows you to talk to Stitch directly. Stitch is shown on the vid-screen while conversing with your party and it is completely different each time you do it. Stitch's conversations are completely improvised (by whoever is operating him) and directly dependent by what you ask, say, are wearing, etc. It's very entertaining.

At the end of your visit, Stitch asks to take your picture and you get a souvenir card with a website/password to retrieve your pictures later (Stitch keeps a copy for himself).


Where is that?

Yes please where is this? if it was already mentioned sorry i must have missed the answer..

Ursula's grotto... in the area where crush is i forget the name there is tons of stuff in there to see. walk down one of the isles and it will lead to the grotto. may be a bit scary for little ones since it's so dark.

In the Innoventions building. Not sure if they still do that or not. It's been a LONG time since I've been in there.

You sure you are talking about DL and not WDW?

 

[WannaBeAPrincess]

The Tinkerbell store is inside the arch of the castle on your left if you are heading towards Fantasyland.

Sorry to have to tell you but the Tink toy store (was Once Upon a Princess store)is now closed. Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique will be opening there in April.

It's in the Animation Building in DCA. There's alot of cool things to do there. You could spend several hours. It's great place to spend time during the heat of the summer or when it's raining. Animation Academy (learn to draw a Disney charcter), Turtle Talk with Crush, Ursulas grotto, Beasts (lair), and other things. Check it out.

Also, (I didn't read the whole thread so sorry if mentioned) my DD9 loves the Redwood Creek Challenge Trail in DCA. She loves to do the Smoke Jumpers (zip line), climb the rock wall (side to side not up and down), and just plain run around. It's a nice break during the day.

The Movie house on Main St. in DLR. Check out the vintage Mickey cartoons. Another great place when it's hot, cold or rainy.

I too would like to know where the Stitch thing is. I've never seen it.

ADDED-I just did a search and Stitch is in Innoventions. But I also read that it was now gone. So I guess I'll have to look for it next time.

Hmm, I thought the BBB was going in where the Princess store was.

 

[perlster]

The Talk to Stitch attraction was removed from Innoventions around the beginning of last May.

what nooooooo.... replaced by princesses again. How do they ever expect her to gain popularity this way?? Why couldn't they add the boutique to the princess faire?

 

[WannaBeAPrincess]

I think there is confusion between the two stores. Once Upn A Princess is closed due to the remodeling for the BBB. The Tinkerbell store, (not sure of the actual name) is a little tiny store underneath the castle. It's easily missed if you don't look for it.

You're right. I am thinking of the wrong shop. It used to be Tink's toy shop and then it moved to inside the castle. It is the old location that is being converted to BBB.

This isn't a secret, but it's cool. You can see an X-Wing hanging from the cieling in the tomorrow land arcade.

Was reading through the old posts and saw this. I was wondering on our last trip where this got moved to.

It used to be hanging in the ceilling of the gift shop you end up in after getting off Star Tours. The People Mover track went right past a window at the same level as it on the inside and there were two stormtroopers standing guard there.

I LOOOVE this thread! Thank you so much for sharing, everyone!

Two questions, since we'll be there in 2 weeks and I'd love to avoid "wild-goose chases" for things that are no longer up and running/occurring:

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?


2) True or False: Mickey no longer climbs the Matterhorn. (??!!??)

TIA!!

As far as I know there is only one apple. It's the golden one above the story book right before you enter the inside area of the ride. As of the beginning of this month, it was still there.

Thanks, Kayla's mom!!

Hey, looks like we'll be at DL at the exact same time!!

I am going with my cousin and our kids, so if you see two 30ish women with four young kids running around...it just might be us!

Just the golden one infront of the big door. Just don't be sad if it happens to be broken, that happened to me twice. But it should work.

2) True or False: Mickey no longer climbs the Matterhorn. (??!!??)

True.

I doubt they'll ever put anything permanent at the Fantasyland Theater because they'll want to keep it open for conversion for different shows (I hope they add a new show or something soon-ish).

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