I thought it would be fun if everyone shared something not alot of people know about Disney to make their expeirence there wayyy more enjoyable!

Ill start...If your around Disney world but dont have tickets to got to the parks, you can still enjoy Downtown Disney. Its open to the public..Ikr? YEAHH!!!

I heard that at night, cats run around Walt Disney world, keeping the mice population low!!!!!! Oh and Disney does not sell gum on the property. That's why the sidewalks are always so clean!!!!!

Earl of Sandwich is inexpensive and has good food in DTD - we always go there !

Also - at night if you look up at the Haunted Mansion to the top floor right above the door, it'll look like two shadows are passing by !

Ya ;however, that's why Pleasure Island closed. The general public basically took over the night life their causing a bunch of problems which Disney didn't want to be portrayed there.

Another fun thing, even though it's geared toward children, is the Pirates and Pals Wishes "Cruise". You first get a buffet of tons of different things to eat before setting sail and watching wishes from the 7 Seas Lagoon outside the Magic Kingdom.

do you know where-about this is? i wanna find it

One hint, is that if you don't mind being seprated from your group is to use single rider (this really is a time saver on Forbidden Journey). Also go on high attendence attractions right before fireworks start to get almost empty lines and sometimes a view of the fireworks. Also all should love The Earl of Sandwich. I extremly suggest the Cannonball sandwich.

There is one, though I'm not sure if it's Mickey or not, in the Wizard of Oz set. You can see it while entering. The flowers to the left

Took this when I went

The Earl's Club with tomato soup is also AMAZING!!!!

After fireworks, instead of getting lost in the rush to the buses, take some time to go in the shops while the crowd thins out, then go catch your bus

ALSO, if it starts raining, DONT LEAVE. Go into an indoor attraction, shop, or restaurant and wait out the storm. Florida showers don't usually last long, and once it's over the crowd might be thinner

I'll change it up with a secret...

There is a basketball minicourt and hoop inside the Matterhorn in Disneyland

Dont know if its true but apparently potc is haunted by a ghost called george and if when on the ride you say "George isn't real" it will break down or something.

When you are walking into the Magic Kingdom park, you may notice that you are walking on a slant towards the castle. Magic Kingdom is really on a slight hill. Underneath is where the workers can walk underground to get from place to place without us seeing them!

You can learn to Surf at Typhoon Lagoon (i think they still do it anyway)

Not so much of a secret but there used to be alligators in the river of america at mk and in the splash mountain water!

Here is a vid (not mine)

On our trip to Disney in 2007, we really learned that trick for the buses. We were staying a Pop Century, A crowed resort. We went straight for the buses after the fireworks. we were probably the 300th people in line , after a bit we looked back and there were about 500 more people behind us! The next night we took our time and walked right onto a bus! ;D

Here are some secrets

At the haunted mansion when you come off of the ride there is a pet cemetary look in the way back of the right side there is a mr.toad grave

While Riding the river boat in MK, look into the water while going around. You can see several characters under the water including Steam Boat Willie mickey

On the ride Tower of Terror, when you first walk into the Hotel and you are about to go either to the left or the right the sign that is next to the "broken or out of order" elevator, the letters that appear to have fallen off read "evil tower u r doomed"

The MK Parking Lot only 6 of the 7 dwarfs have a lot named after them! There is Sleepy, Dopey, Happy, Grumpy, Bashful, and Sneezy. No Doc! Why no Doc? Because while naming the sections in the world's 3rd largest parking lot, the designers were afraid people might get the Boat Dock and the Parking Lot "Doc" confused.

I know this may sound really strange, but WDW has the best cheesecake ever. IT comes in a little black container with a clear cover, and it's round. I look forward to having one every time I go
