secrets you forgot

[Schmoodle]

We had so much fun with Push a couple of weeks ago. We were walking by totally clueless, on our way to try another ride at Buzz Lightyear, and Push
was talking to a bunch of kids, when he apparently spotted my DS's birthday button, and called to him by name. DS was totally amazed, Push came over, had a nice chat with him, let the kids inspect inside to see if he really was a trashcan (he is), and insisted the kids pose for a picture with him. One of those little special things that happen when you are wearing a birthday button that really help make the day special. Here is the picture:

Did someone mention the twinkling lights in the sidewalk in EPCOT?
Picking up the old phone in (I think) the candy shop... or somewhere on Main Street.

Not really secrets, but cool things some people don't know - you can arrange for a wake-up call to your room, and it might be from Mickey/Goofy/Donald etc... (or at least was last time I went!)

If one of you has a birthday, let your Disney hotel concierge know and you don't just get a button, but they can arrange (if you ask nicely) for your favourite character to send a birthday card to your room on that day - I got my husband a Sorceror Mickey Birthday card, signed by Mickey and a balloon, all for free - Disney is so lovely! (I offered to pay and was told it was free!)

The camel in Magic Kingdom by Aladdin's carpet ride that spits water every few minutes, and Stitch above the entrance to the Disney Store in Downtown Marketplace also spits water every so often. I enjoy watching kids unable to understand how they just got wet! So cute!

Oh, Italian! Yeah, that's what I meant.
You know those chewable Imodium tablets? Beverly tastes like what might happen if you made Kool Aid with Imodium.

Yuk!

There is a hidden Donald on the red velvet chair in the library in the HM. I am sure most people know about it, but I didn't see it posted here.

What happens if you pick up the phone? My DD is 2 and phones are one of her favorite things. She turns everything into a phone, spoons, straws, random toys..

At the firehouse in the Magic Kindgom they have an honorary fireman of the day. We just happened to be in there browsing the shop and a family came in with two children who were picked to be the honorary firemen. They got hats and got to ring the bell. The CM's working at the firehouse sang, "For he's a jolly good fellow!"

It was pretty neat.

subscribing! Love all the secrets! We are going New Years Eve and it will be my 27th time at Disney and I didn't know about all the secrets! Thanks

The phone is now in the Chapeau store on the Exposition Hall side of Town Square. The phone simulates an old "party line" and you can listen in on someone's conversation.

Those twinkling lights were the highlight of my daughter's first trip, when she was two....she was mesmerized. I'll never forget the tranquility of watching her and my husband playing with them on the ground while the Christmas crowds trickled by around us after Illuminations....it was such a quiet, beautiful little time.

We were all set to ride the WDW Railroad when we mentioned to a CM that DS3 just loved trains. CM said, "oh really?" then pulled out a card that said DS3 and DD7 would be guest conductors. They got to say "All aboard!" before the train departed. It certainly made our day!

Club Cool in Epcot. Don't forget to try Beverly!!!!



here is DeVine!

is it cheating to ask where you found her? LOL

 

[ThunderMTexpert]

Is this one true: ToT is 199 feet tall? I heard that if buildings are 200 feet, they need special lights or something at the top, so planes can see them? Idk if this is all true, but I think ToT is 199 feet tall.. Way to creep\sneak by the system!!

Thunder Mountain is the fastest ride at the Magic Kingdom! (Yep, it beats Space Mountain by a whopping 8mph )

Pssst: I think Test Track is the fastest @ Disney @ 65mph..

Last time I went (2 years ago) I was showing my son the Cinderella fountain behind the Castle (upagainst the side of Tinkerbell's Treasures). When i squat down to show him Cinderella in the fountain, I noticed the mosaic design on the back of the fountain created a Crown on the top of her head. I asked a CM about this and she told me there are alot of secrets and hidden things that can only be seen at a child's height. I took a picture of this (which i will find and post later) and we are planning on looking for more things this trip coming up!!! What a great thread this is!!

 

[Hootch]

in a guide book about a mural that contains all of the Disney characters. When new characters were developed they would be added to the mural. The description sounded as if it was in Exposition Hall but did not name the building.
