There's a great HM in Alice.

I think we need to come up with a list of Disneyland fake secrets, pick the best ones and then try to disseminate them through the interwebs (long johns anyone?).

I'll start:

The original tagline for the Haunted Mansion was going to be "998 Happy Haunts" - but was changed to include Walt, who died before the attraction was opened.

From October:

The DCA lake is a backup system for the sub lagoon. That's why it took so long to get the subs back open, they couldn't drain the sub lagoon until they were sure the DCA lake system was properly routed to keep the Matterhorn afloat with the lagoon empty. To reduce long term wear on the lake, the lake does act as the cooling system for Walt's frozen head, however the sub lagoon is still perfectly capable of maintaining both systems on its own.

the original model for the yeti on the matterhorn was John Candy

One of Walt's favorite things to do when he was staying in the park was, after hours, to tour the park, stopping at each body of water to relieve himself.

I came this || close to spraying my monitor* after reading that! :D



*With the water that was in my mouth, not with any other fluid.

The rash of tree topplings a few years ago was due to the collapse of some of the underground tunnel ceilings.

The term "Cast Member" originated because of the high proportion of early ride operators who suffered broken limbs during the first year the park was open, showing up to work wearing casts.

red long johns

ooooh....thats a good one. I'd totally fall for that.
