For those not familiar with Snopes.com (http://www.snopes.com/), it is a web site devoted to digging into the truth behind urban myths and legends. If someone emails you a story that sounds just a got fantastic beyond reality, it is a good first stop in checking out the veracity (and there are other sites out there as well).
They have an entire site (http://www.snopes.com/disney/disney.asp?music=off) devoted to Disney stories, broken down into four catagories: Theme Parks (http://www.snopes.com/disney/parks/parks.asp), the Company (http://www.snopes.com/disney/wdco/wdco.asp), Walt himself (http://www.snopes.com/disney/waltdisn/waltdisn.asp), and of course movies (http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/films.asp).
Most of this will be old hat to the people on this board (such topics as whether a private club exists at Disneyland (http://www.snopes.com/disney/parks/club33.htm) or whether Walt is on ice (http://www.snopes.com/disney/waltdisn/frozen.htm)). But I did run across a couple of items I had never heard before (on the original video release of The Rescuers, there were two frames which included a topless woman (http://www.snopes.com/disney/films/rescuers.htm), and that Walt was an illegitimate child (http://www.snopes.com/disney/waltdisn/illegit.htm)).
Enjoy!
