Ok, After ALOT of reading, (im talkin about 350 posts and 22 pages), i have compiled the best 40 secrets of disney. Thank you to all the people that contributed to the sectrets list. Please print these secrets for you disney pleasure! Tell me how you like them!

1. Ring in the concrete at the end of Haunted Mansion.
2. Look up at the top story right above the front door. You'll notice a light pass by it and some shadows; it looks like 2 people are walking by with a lantern.
3. Devine at AK.
4. Key under the mat in the Muppet ride.
5. The motorized trashcans in TomorrowLand.
6. Sit on the benches by the fountains in France, something happens.
7. Hidden Mickey on the great movie ride. It's in a high window
in the gangster scene with James Cagny.
8. The sidewalks that twinkle at night in Epcot. Take the right hand path after the Epcot ball.
9. Big points in Buzz are found leaving the first room. Turn around and shoot the back of the Orange robots arm or the back of the buzz saw. 100,000 points.
10. Tombstones at the exit side of HM.
11. Buried jewels around Aladdin's ride.
12. Tombstone just before you enter the doors of the HM. Watch the stone for awhile and it opens its eyes.
13. The living statues in France in WS.
14. Talking tree at AK.
15. "Singing in the Rain" umbrella that is attached to one of the streetlights near the old Hunchback Theater. Grab the umbrella and step on the black square embedded in the cement underneath.
16. The talking fountains are by the restrooms on the side of Innoventions facing The Land.
17. In Fantasyland, stop by the Tinkerbell’s Treasures shop and look for Tinkerbell.
18. Around dusk, The Polynesian Resort has a whole routine they do with lighting the Tiki Torches along the outside walkway.
19. Hidden Mickey in the wall mural at the Norway ride.
20. Right after you leave the lobby of the Tower of Terror, and before you go in the TV room, you will see a directory board in a glass case. Some of the white letters have fallen out and are at the bottom of the case. You have to get you head right up to the glass and look down to where the letters have fallen.
21. Little critter in Splash mountain, in the cave – the room just before the last drop - come upside down out of the ceiling and say "Go FSU!"
22. Tug on the well rope at Indiana Jones.
23. Polynesian Resort every Thursday morning at 11:00 a.m., each guest is given a matchbox containing some ladybugs. You then release the ladybugs onto the nearby plants.
24. "Guest Conductor" on the train in the Magic Kingdom. If you sit in the very last car, the one that is the little platform out the back they will ask you to be the guest conductor. “Guest Conductor” gets to yell "All Aboard" into the microphone and announce the different lands.
25. Rocks in the water on the way to safari ride in AK as you go over the bridge look like animals.
26. Flag from the World Trade Center at the American pavilion at Epcot.
27. At the train station. Up on one of the shelves (CMs can help you locate it) you can see Aladdin's lamp as well as other characters belongings waiting to be picked up at the train station.
28. Shop on mainstreet that will do a silhouette cut out (black paper pasted on a white card) of a child's profile. Great Souvenir!
29. Request to a CM to ride with the pilot (right in the front) of the monorail. Not only do you have a perfect location to videotape the entire journey, but you will also receive a nifty "Co-Pilot License' from the monorail driver.
30. On Cinderella's Carousel, there is one horse with a gold ribbon on its tail, that's supposed to be Cinderella's horse.
31. If you go across the street from the Muppetvision show at MGM (away from Indy Jones and sort of toward the Shrunk playground), there is a fire hydrant that sprays water at unpredictable intervals.
32. Silhouette of three circles along the balcony railing just before you enter the building and as a water stain on the wall in the boiler room in TOT.
33. Across from the Dawa Bar in AK is what appears to be an old fort. Don't assume, as I did, that the area's off limits -- there are actually tables and chairs in there!
34. In "It's s small world" only two of the figures represent the United States. They are really hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for. They are the cowboy and the Eskimo.
35. Outside Tony's Restaurant at MK are Lady's and Tramp's footprints in the cement.
36. At one point during the Tommorrowland Transit Authority attraction, riders pass by a model of a futuristic city. This model was Walt Disney’s personal vision of E.P.C.O.T.
37. The opening of the top cave of Splash Mountain (the one you exit as you take the final plunge) is a hidden Mickey. It is noticeable from inside the cave and outside. It is profile shaped not the traditional mouse and ears.
38. Tony's Town Square Restaurant at the back, there is a beautiful 3-paned dark blue window, through which you can see the shadowy silhouettes of Lady and the Tramp sharing their late-night meal of spaghetti.
39. One of my family's favorite things to do is in Italy at the WS. If you wander around behind the shops (where the fountains are) look around for little red press-buttons that say "press for a surprise" (or something to that affect). If you press the button, water squirts from a different location- it’s always fun to see where the water comes from when you do it and then wait for an unsuspecting person to walk by... they can't ever figure it out
40. The dog holding the keys in Pirates of the Caribbean and the dog in Carousel of Progress are both Walt Disney's dog.

Now copy, paste, and print! :thumbsup2
 
These are REALLY GREAT :thumbsup2

I will print these out for my September trip! Thanks for posting!
 

Thank you for this!!! I am trying to make a master list of WDW secrets to take with me in Sept so I can find all of them! This definitely helps a lot! :thumbsup2
 
Great list...there were some things there that I didn't know about and will definatly look into.

When we were there in Feb. and April the message that fell off the board in ToT was not there anymore.

pug: pug: pug:
 
This is a GREAT list! Some of the others are too long now! But, that is also Great link GiantGolfer!

I did want to comment on #20 - it was gone in June! I do not know if that is something that the CMs do like the Plates in Haunted Mansion or what. But, I will check again in 2 weeks!

Here's your #37 Splash Mountain Mickey Silhouette:

34. In "It's s small world" only two of the figures represent the United States. They are really hard to find if you don't know what you are looking for. They are the cowboy and the Eskimo.

There is also an American Indian. Not really the United States, but sort of. He's the last character in the ride (next to the cowboy).
 
This is a great compilation and thank you! Can I make one request, that if you do not do it, I will do before my September trip? Can you rearrange the list so that those in the same park are listed together? This will make it easier to check them off as we go through each park.

The letters at he bottom of the Directory board in the ToT board weren't there in Jan. '06, either. I asked a CM about it and they said that DisneyIM took the letters out. They had no other explanation as to why. I was so disappointed!!!!
 
These are great, Thanks!!

We found the buried jewels at Aladin's ride when we were there in June. My 4 yr old discovered them and cause a traffic jam as he tried so hard to dig up a diamond for me. :rotfl: I finally had to pick him up and drag him away because he was not going to leavethe "buried treasure" alone.
 
Fantastic list! And it shows me that even after as many trips as I've taken, there are still things to learn. Like I didn't know about the ladybug release at the Polynesian. Is it every day at 11:00? Can anyone tell me exactly where it is? And how hard will it be to find the little red button that squirts water in Italy? As many times as I've been thru WS (some trips every day), I've never noticed that. And regarding #6-sitting on the benches by the fountains in France. What happens? I must admit, I've sat at those fountains lots of times, and nothing's ever happened-unless you count the great feeling of calm I get-I love to sit there!
