Have you ever found out any interesting secrets in attractions, ride lines, or anywhere in Disney parks? Post em' here! :P

Here's one that i know:
In the line for Indiana Jones in DLR, where you see the skeletons, there is a bamboo that you can pull. When pulled, it triggers a loud scary noise that scares everyone else in line. Lol I do it all the time for fun.

Post away :D

yea i know about that too. at DL if you go to mr. toad's wild ride look at the mr. toad statue in the queue when you get inside. my cousin found that the pupils in his eyes were actually two hidden mickeys. and of course the hidden mickey in the face of the clock in the lobby of the grand californian. oh lol one more! the hidden mickey in indiana jones when you get to the part where there is a safety movie on a projector there will be a guide by the door. ask him where it is and he will show you with his flashlight because it's awful hard to see it in the dark.

In the line for Indiana Jones in DLR, there is a budah statue that resembles walt disney and also in the line but inside the building there is a rock with a rope attached with the rope going down a well and there is a sign that says do not pull on rope and if you do the first two times someone says careful up there from inside of the well and on the third pull it sounds like they fell off the rope screaming.

There is that room. It's more commonly used as waiting for Cinderella's Royal Table Restaurant.

Madame Leota, from Disney's Haunted Mansion, actually exists - well, somewhat.

The head-in-the-crystal sorceress was named after Imagineer Leota Toombs (ha, ironic last name, I know), who once worked on the ride.

Also, if you stare at her tombstone in the ride's queue, (the monument serves two purposes - a farewell to the Imagineer Leota and a farewell to the ride Leota) the sculpture's head moves and the eyes blink and change colors.

I think you should compile these and put them in the first post. :D

Also, at the Magic Kingdom, there is a "second closing", or "The Kiss Goodnight". 30 minutes after the park closes, there is a special "second closing." It is basically centered around the Cinderella Castle. In the beginning, music begins to play, different songs from movies. Then many different lights cascade over the castle, in all different colors, while a speech is heard over the PA system telling of Walt Disney's dreams for a place where families could come to forget the world, and have fun. Then spotlights shine on the water from the moat, and the castle is bathed in a shimmering reflection. Then "When You Wish Upon a Star" plays, with the castle going dark after the song ends.

So, you California kids, don't waste time searching all those tombstones (DLR has more than MK) for the Leota face. :)

In DLR, on the top of the Matterhorn is a Basketball area. And at WDW, in the haunted mansion Pet graveyard(it's after you exit the building) u can see in the back that there is a Mr. Toad Statue from the old Mr. Toad's Wild Ride that got replaced by Pooh. and if u look down after your train goes backwards on Expedition Everest, u can see inside lights of everest. and sometimes,If you're lucky, if u ride Splash Mountain as the last ride of the day, It will go faster. :)

Idk if its still there or not because of the update, but before the update of Potc WDW:

When in the line for the ride, you'll see a big bar window. Look down it, and you'll see two pirates skeletons playing a chess game. No one can move anywhere, its a infinite game. and thats why they're dead. Its pretty cool. i seen it once myself. can someone confirm if its still there after they added jack to the ride?

The stalemated chess game is still there, yes.

Here's one.

If you ride The Winnie the Pooh ride at WDW, once you reach Owl's house, look straight to the left, a picture can be seen of Mr. Toad giving the deed to the house to Owl, a reference to the former ride, Mr' Toad's Wild Ride.

Look for the names in the windows on Main St. The one above the Ice Cream shop at the end of Main St. on the Right (if your looking at Cindy's Crib) it reads Walter Elias Disney, the man behind the mouse!

In MGM at the Muppet's in 3D there is a sign when you enter the building, on the right wall there is a sign that says "Out for Lunch, Key under Mat" Pick up the mat under the sign and theres the key.

At MK on Tom Sawyer Island do the secret treasure hunt (ask a CM over there) and you'll receive a fast pass for Splash or Big Thunder!

At MK you can get a "It's My Birthday Button" it doesn't need to be your birthday as you can tell the CM at City Hall that its your Un-Birthday.

Theres alot more just can't think of them now.
