Wildest Disney Rumor You've Ever Heard...

The wildest rumor I ever heard involved Mickey, Minnie, Donald, and Daisy with way too many Lapu Lapus. But, this is a family board, so I will digress.... :rolleyes1
 
I read this bizarre rumor last year, that Snow White's Scary Adventures was going to be replaced with a Princess meet 'n greet. I tell you, these rumors are hysterical!
 

My wife and I took the KTTK tour back August and the issue of the fifth park came up. The guide explained to us that WDW currently employs 60,000 people. If you figure 10,000-12,000 per park, you realize that its nearly impossible for Disney to find enough workers in the Orlando area (at least workers that fit the Disney requirements) to staff another park.

In essence, Disney has run dry the employment market, making it impossible to build another park.

I hope they add a 5th park but is family friendly, not just ALL coasters.That's why my entire family can go to WDW. Everyone can ride most everything. As much as I LOVE fast, huge coasters I LOVE WDW's mix of rides & shows.

The employment market is an interesting thought. I think they can find more employees from around the world. :thumbsup2 They can make anything possible! :goodvibes
 
The real constraint is not finding more employees (though real in large qty.), but available vacation time for guests. The typical family has at most 2 weeks, more likely 4-7 days to spend at the parks, so adding a 5th park would just add lots of overhead and investment while spreading available guest spending. Much more wise to add to existing parks.
 
Rumor: That Disney was buying up property and was going to build another theme park in Branson, Missouri.
 
My fiance worked at the MK in WDW around 74-75. He has told me plenty of stories about employees smoking illegal things, ice cream cart girls arranging to meet fathers in their rooms while the family was off at play, and Alice in Wonderland having some "private time" with several band members in the castle. Alice was caught and fired, the band members survived as they were part of the union.

:banana:

Wow. Although . . . I swear I saw a call girl in Epcot circa 1995. Nobody believed me when I got back home, but who walks around WDW in 6 inch heels and Daisy Dukes?
 
Not so wild, but my favorite rumor is that Disney is going to build a park in Texas. It's always some out of the way one red light town...you know...so they can do like Florida and buy a bunch of land cheap. Never happen.

That seems a little redonkulous
 
Rumor: I've heard something like, soon after space mountain opened at WDW, someone riding it stood up during the ride and had their head chopped off. :lmao:
 
Some that I have heard over the years but not seen here are;

The Castle can be lowered into the Utilidors in case of a hurricane. – No.

Walt built Disneyland because he and his wife always loved and wanted children but never had any. - They actually had 2 daughters.

Walt wasn’t frozen but he is buried under the statue of him and Mickey in front of the castle. – Walt Disney is buried in Forrest Lawn Cemetery in California.

While in the US Army Walt Disney was sentenced to the stockade and dis-honorably discharged. Walt lied about his age and served as a Red Cross ambulance driver in France at the end of the First World War.
