The Secrets of Disneyland - Page 5

Louis Armstrong was originally cast to play King Louie in The Jungle Book. He was replaced by Louie Prima when Walt Disney declared that no black actor would have a lead in a Disney film while he was alive. Shortly after this announcement, he was diagnosed with lung cancer and did not live to see the release of the film.

It's well documented that Walt Disney smoked, swore, and was known to have a drink, but his sex drive was nearly nil, hence his complete dedication to his projects. His interest in casting beautiful women for Disneyland and his films was purely because it gets male consumers to open their wallets. Lillian never had to worry about philandering, even during his long hours and extended stays at the park or on location for films. Yes, the daughters are his, but only because he felt a duty to his wife to provide them.

Just like the characters in costume wandering the park, all the people who saw Walt in the park, really got an autograph from a well-trained look alike. Walt really died in 1962, but WED had perfected the animatronics and his figure was the test for all that came later.

Truth be told, Walt Disney's remains really aren't located anywhere on property.

C'mon Moonie, if you're going to play, at least make them SOMEWHAT believable.

If you are the last person to ride Peter Pan on any given day (It was Walt's favorite ride to end the day with) you are given a special green hat that gets you in free the next day.

I thought Sharon Disney was adopted.

Annette Funicello was really Walt's love shild with Anna Magnani.

If you want to avoid all the lines in Disneyland, there is a way of doing it...

Simply use your Visa or Mastercard in the fastpass(tm) machines, and they will obligingly spit out a fastpass(pm) for you. This method can be used once at all the fastpass(mt) machines simultaneously, so it is possible to hold a fastpass(tm) for every attraction at the same time.
