Best Secrets in Disneyland

[bnbheartdisney]

Almost as sad as the little Chommoro girl from Guam. She's wearing a traditional costume as well.

I know that this is an old post, but... where is the Chamorrita? I never noticed! I need a pic of "cousin"!

This isnt really a secret but its just really funny.

I know how to make Mr Potato head look like he is stoned or drunk...

Just out of curiosity...how? (if you can share of course...)

Tortilla Jos has changed their walkup window just since May of '09, so it depends on how long ago that info was posted whether or not it's still good.

Still the same great tacos and nachos at very reasonable prices. They just converted the takeout window to an indoor ordering area with a fenced-off outdoor dining patio.

These are great! I just sat here for over an hour reading every single page!

This is not a secret but something fun we have always done...bring Disney trivia cards with you and ask questions in lines..others around you get involved and its a fun way to pass the time!

Sorry.....I havn't read all the posts but....here is the Disneyland list that I had put together for our trip last year provided by many, many people here on the Dis:

DINSEYLAND

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 the talk to stitch located??? I've even heard of this let alone seen it

This is a secret that has been dismantled but not that many years ago, there was a plain looking door on the castle wall near the oft mentioned wishing well that would lead you into the castle for a tour of displays all set to eerie lighting similar to the affect in the sleeping beauty film. My wife has told me about her discovering this as a child and how disappointed she was to find it had be torn out to make room for fire works storage.

Walt would not be happy.

She also told me the story of there being 99 'secrets' placed around the park, Walt wanted there to be new things to discover with every visit.

The sleeping beauty story thing in the castle was still there went I went last year

Yes, they reopened the castle walk through, but you go in at a different place now (to the left of the castle after you walk through it). I feel like they completely re-did it too, didn't it actually have rooms set up back in the day, or am I totally hallucinating?

SUBSCRIBING! off to disney in 2 weeks

 

[the donut]

Rode Monsters, Inc. for the first time in awhile a couple of weeks ago, and at the very end of the ride, they've added a new picture to the doors with an accompanying smell.

Bump...more secrets, please!

 

[Jen&Trenton]

Wow, this is so awesome. My fiance really introduced me to the joys of DLR only a couple years ago and now I'm more obsessed than he is! Next trip is in July, yee-haw! SUBSCRIBING!!!

 

[momrek06]

Wow, this thread is FIVE YEARS OLD .. I guess I have allot of reading to do!!!

I LOVE the hidden secrets and tips … I am going to write some of them down and take them with me when I go in April!!!

 

[onlyn2urmoney]

Wow I cant believe a 5 year old thread and no one posted about Lillians favorite horse the on the carousel. You can find it by looking for the horse with the gold tooth. Even after the recent refurbishment its still there!

Also there is no gum sold in the parks. And ive heard but dont know if its true that each trash can is so many steps away from eachother. The amount of steps was the amount of steps it took Walt to eat a hot dog. Last the old photo and candy kiosk is where you would buy your E tickets when the park opened and you needed a ticket for each ride.

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?

Magic shop was gone for a while but is back now
Quote:
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.

Quote:
Go see ASIMO the robot show in Innoventions.

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

[B]ASIMO is now gone[/B]


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

Quote:
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!

DRAWN TO THE MAGIC had its last show last October, a former student of mine (Andrew) was a performer in that show they are replacing it with something elseQuote:
...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.

Quote:
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.

No longer there
We looked everywhere last time for this and couldn't find it:


Quote:
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

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

not anymore hasn't been that way for a while, only when the ride fiorst opened and the lines were long they handed them out as you entered the line so you had something to doQuote:
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!

Quote:
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

Quote:
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.

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

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