fun facts about the great movie ride:

The belt buckle worn by John Wayne in the Western Scene is an actual buckle worn by the Duke in one of his movies.


There is a hidden Minnie on the loading dock. It roughly right in the center of the backdrop and is a profile of her head. A castmember needs a flashlight to point it out and almost everyone knows where it is.

As you enter the Gangster scene, and approach the run down porch, looking over your left shoulder towards the roof you will see Mickey's silhouette in a warehouse window. (An interesting point about this Mickey...It was not placed there by the Imagineers, but rather by a guy named Carlos, who was a gangster at the Movie Ride a few summers ago. The fake warehouse windows are really next to the actor's corridor, where the Mugsy's wait to take over vehicles. There are chairs and a water cooler up there..it's rather cozy. (I was Mugsy in the summer '92) When the Imagineers found out Carlos had cut out a Mickey and put him there, they liked it so much they kept it!)
