Best Secrets in Disneyland

Another "not really a secret"...the best place to have your picture taken is the staircase leading up to Club 33! (no photopass though)

Do you mean the staircase leading up to the "Dream Suite"? Or the staircase inside the lobby of Club 33?

I noticed something cute at Disneyland on our recent visit that I didn't see listed in any of the "secrets" threads (unless I missed it somewhere!):

When you are walking from Tomorrowland to Fantasyland, between the Finding Nemo lake and the Matterhorn mountain, look across the lake and you will see 3 animatronic seagulls sitting on a buoy. Watch them for a minute and they will turn their heads and open their beaks and squawk like real seagulls. If it's crowded you have to listen carefully because it might be hard to hear them over all the people noise!. It's one of the little things that's so easy to miss but gives you a little thrill. :wizard:
 
Just going through my tip lists and wondering if a few things are still true-- or the status on them...

I seem to remember there's no magic shop anymore?
If you like magic: Go to the Magic Shop and ask the magician there if they have any new tricks. They will often do a little mini-show for you.

Go see ASIMO the robot show in Innoventions.

I remember seeing this when we were there in March last year:

Play musical Chairs with Alice and the Mad Hatter at 2:30pm every day at Coke Corner.

Watch the singing and dancing show across from Monsters in DCA - very sweet medley of songs and inspirations - and a special meet and greet for Cinderella, Mickey and Woody, to boot!

...I also love to go through the area in DCA where Crush talks..they have a place I recently discovered..You can put your voice in a Disney movie..you can find out which character you are most like.

If you enjoy music, visit Farley the Fiddler at the Mercantile porch in Frontierland. He plays 11:00, 12:00, 1:00, 2:30, 3:30 & 4:30 (except on his days off, which have been Tuesday and Wednesday) He is great entertainer, knows a lot about music, and can strike up a conversation with anyone. He's fun (but difficult) to try to stump on a tune.

We looked everywhere last time for this and couldn't find it:

Telephone at Indiana Jones. The telephone just to the left of the
Indiana Jones ride is not a real phone. In fact if you pick it up you will
hear them talking about the expedition! Very cool

I think if you go to City Hall you can get something to translate the hyrogliphics in the line for Indiana Jones.

In the queuing line for Indianna Jones, deep inside, in the middle of all of the bamboo poles, there is one that looks a little crooked. Pull on it hard, and the cavern will boom like a cave in. First time someone did it, it scared me to death!

The Market House on Main Street, U.S.A., at Disneyland, patterned after a general store from the turn of the century, has always had the old-fashioned telephones, and you can still pick up the receiver and listen in on the party line

Since 1955, Main Street’s Market House has given free refills on coffee. Purchase a cup of coffee (regular, decaf, vanilla or hazelnut) for $2.59 and save your receipt.

Also you can get free refills on your drinks at Pizza Port and the Mexican food restaurant in Frontierland.

Tortilla Joe's walk up window also has 2-3 tacos for about $5.

I love them.. If you listen closely, they are saying "Mine, Mine, Mine" just like in the Finding Nemo movie...
 
Just going through my tip lists and wondering if a few things are still true-- or the status on them... :

I believe that the Magic Store is back...not sure if they still perform tricks.

Also, I can tell you that the phones in the market house were still there and we get refills on our drinks when we eat at Pizza Port and Rancho all the time.

Musical chairs, Drawn to Animation show and the place (can't think of the name) where you add your voice to the movie were all still there too.

The Magic Shop is now run by Houdini's Magic Shop, They still perform tricks. LOVE the Magic Shop!

Go see ASIMO the robot show in Innoventions.
Still there, several shows every day. Love ASIMO.

All still do-able in the Animation Academy at DCA.
 
Right now in the display window of the Magic Shop, there is one of those hypnosis wheels that is spinning (if it's not broken) & above it is a sign w/ instructions that says to stare @ the wheel for 30 sec. & then look @ the back of your hand. I love doing it. It's so trippy! :thumbsup2
 
The song/dance show accross from Monster's Inc was still there in September. My son even got to go on stage (they pick 3 kids to talk with at the beginning of the show) and he got to take home the drawing that was done of mickey mouse.
