Sorry people. You are no longer permitted to request the list. Too many requests clogged this thread some time ago and as a result procedures were put in place. If you would like the list, read back through the posts till you find the one with the directions for the list. We sincerely hope to keep this thread 'On Topic', so if any one has any more tips or secrets...?

Just to clarify - Dcanoli sends out the info and she requested in post 4 on page 1 of this thread that you should email her if you want a copy of the document. You can click on her username to send her an email or in post 10 on page 1 she has put her email address. If you email her you'll get the document very quickly whereas, if you request it on this thread, it may be a very long time before she sees it as she's not on DIS much these days.

Hi! Would you be able to email me the Word Document and/or flash cards you were referring to of the secrets of Disney. I tried to email you, but I am too new. Thanks!

Scratch all that...just sent the email!

See above - Post 10 on Page 1 & you can e-mail her directly from your own personal e-mail.

I made CM thank you cards to hand to CMs that made my day, since there are so many I gave out quite a few. Basically business card size with our last name and date of visit.

Forgot where I got this idea.

Whenever we go to the mouse, I bring along sheets of disney stickers - the last time we went I found tiny metallic disney stickers - with the fab 6 on each square. I would give a sticker (not a sheet!) to
-kids having meltdowns -they'd be so intent on where to put their little sticky...they'd forget about the thing causing the meltdown
-kids with big smiles - the smiles would get bigger!
-big kids having meltdowns - be leery however, as this may backfire!
-big kids with big smiles - they'd just about nanananana everyone in their group - "I got one and you don't"
-grandparents - as they are sooo part of the magic of everyday!
My best reaction to these little stickers were, however:
-the cast members!!...who would proceed to proudly put them on their name badges.

What is your best WDW theme park secret? For example, I have read about/ seen the part of the Winnie the Pooh ride, where Mr. Toad hands off the deed to the ride to Pooh, the marker in EPCOT that represents the center of WDW, the 'raining' umbrella in MGM, the key under the mat in the Muppet ride, etc.

Any others? I am going to WDW in two weeks and love to show my companions how knowledgable I am by pointing these out (I know - pretty pathetic, but I am truly an obsessive planner)

In Space Mountain you can see and hear tributes to the ride Horizons in EPCOT that shut down in 1999.You can hear,I believe the Dessert music scene,or Mese Verde.Also,you can see the horizons logo inside.

On the Carousel of Progress,you can still see GE logos on the fridges etc.,
GE was the ORIGINAL sponsor of the Carousel of Progress,but dropped out.

There is a candle light on top of the firehouse,that represents Walt Disney.It never burns out.


There is a jail above the Candy Shop on Main Street U.S.A (its the red candy shop) Im not exactly sure if this is true,but when my brother went on his senior trip there a couple years ago,one of his friends did something horribly wrong in the park and was put in The Disney World jail for the rest of the day.All the teachers knew too.My brothers friend also told him and showed him.

In "its a small world" when the renovated it,they had forgotten to take away so tunnels that you were able to go through before..they are still there and able to be SEEN.

Thats all that I know!! I'll see if I can find out more.

With the opening of the new interactive queue at the Haunted Mansion, the ring is now on the ground in the interactive part of the line. Though I've heard reports that it's sometimes covered by a trash can. It's there, though!

The buildings above main street are offices.

And actually- those tunnels lead to storage and repair areas for the boats

The offices on the east side of Main Street, upper floor, are the Security Offices.

In case you guys haven't seen this yet.

Here is a great story on the new HM interactive que, and guess what? The Imagineers actually put in the bride's ring!

I am so excited about this, as there was so much debate over the old one!

Check it out! I added the picture and info the secrets document too!

 

[Dcanoli]

Lordy, lordy...just found a few more interesting "secrets" from the HM redo....Here we go:

1. Imagineer Colin Campbell is honored with a tombstone that reads “He died in the fall, It’s a fact not withstanding, but the judges admired his form in the landing." (All pictures are in the secrets document.)

2. There is a hint in the Hitchhiking Ghost scene to the mystery killer of the other characters in the busts outside in the queue. It is difficult to see but there is a lenticular photo that contains the clue beside the Ghosts.
