-Before the Haunted Mansion was built at Disneyland, huge soundstages were set up in CA (Glendale I think) and locals were asked to come and walk through the sets. There were cool effects that were never used like the disapearing sea captain and his bride.
-There is a large sinkhole near the Contemporary and nothing can be built there even though it has a prime view of the MK.
-Walter Cronkite was not the original narator for Spaceship Earth.
-There are 2 tunnels at Epcot but not as large as the MK tunnels.
-Elephants performed at Epcot once but they cracked the fountain
-You can go under the fountain at Epcot.
-All the Image Works stuff from the old Journey Into Your Imagination is still on the second floor of the Imagination Pavilion.
-The presidents hair in Hall of presidents is real. Some of the clothing belonged to them. Their teeth were made from their dental records.
-There are stories behind the Swan and Dolphin hotels and no,the large dark area was not for the monorail to go through
-There used to be real skeletons in POTC at Disneyland. They looked better than the fake ones
-I saw some of the old skyway cars in the Tomorrowland station while riding the Peoplemover the other day!
-Don't know if this one is true, but I heard when they were building Typhoon Lagoon they found monorail pylons burried in the ground for future expansion.
