WOW a newbie with less than a month to wait. how EXCITING!

Best thing that sticks out in my mind as a keeper -- something we didn't know about but still talk about over 23 years later: across from the UK in EPCOT there was a group of actors putting on a play and they gave several of us something to wear and a part of the play. I was part of robin Hood. Gave me one of those princessy type hats with the scarf and told me I was THE LADY IN WAITING. Throughout the entire play they would turn to me and say .... ok you ...... WAIT! I never did anything just stood there WAITING -- i thought hubby would bust a gut

ALL FOR MAIN ST USA!!!

this might not be too BIG a secret but to a 1st timer it might help.......

On the left hand side of Main St. (when looking at the castle, Emporium side) there are a variety of stores. You can easily walk through the entire block without having to go outside. I use this route when Main St. is a bit too crowded and I need to get out of the park!


also I am told if you were to pick up a phone in one of the shops on the other side of the street you can listen in on a conversation already in progress. it is an old fashioned wall mount telephone.



and lastly.....

if you look closely at the street lamps of Main St. you will see that they progressively change from gas lamps to electric.


I'll have more later as they come to me....

We love watching for the Mickey on the golf ball during the Soarin' movie.

Be the first in Tinkerbell's Treasures shop in the morning (in Fantasyland) and you can ring the bell to wake up Tink. It's fun to be in the shop and see it done, even if you are not the first one in. My daughter was thrilled to watch Tink fly around the shop after another little girl woke her up.

These are great tips! I love the one about Tink. Kids always love to know little "secret" things that no one else knows. I'll be sharing these secrets with mine!

I believe that is in the Chapeau.


How about Mary Poppin's umbrealla at DHS? There is a black square in front of it, step on that and it rains!

 

[Princess Disney Mom]

Lift the mat at the entrance of the Muppets and the key is under the mat.
There is a sign something like: Gone out, the key is under the mat.

i've read, but haven't noticed it...in the muppet 3-d movie in the holding area there is a net full of jello= annette funicello(sp?)....quite clever!~!!

I do believe this umbrella belongs to Mr. Grace Kelly's character from singing in the rain

here's some from last sept.

 

[ToddyLu]

We were on the Keys to the Kingdom tour several years ago. I have an unusual first name. Unfortunately it is the same name as Mr. Gracie's 8th wife at Haunted Mansion. It is the last name on the stone wall when leaving the ride. I thought it was a joke, set up by the CM....but alas it is there every year...."Lucretia"...my own little secret.

"Push" the talking trash can in tomorrowland. My kids are obsessed with finding it when we go in a couple of weeks. We have been trying to find him for over a yr now. Last time we were there someone told us he is out around the lunch time.

Gene Kelly in Singin' in the Rain...

Grace Kelly later Princess Grace of Monaco;was an American film and stage actress and fashion icon.

Some of the turrets on the roof of Haunted Mansion (Magic Kingdom) look like chess pieces.

As you walk past Aladdin's Magic Carpets, watch out for the camel's spitting. Another camel spits at the riders inside; lower your carpet to pass under the water stream.
