[Trangerine]

[Trangerine]

does anyone know any updates about it's a small world?

[dragnfly-princess]

I'm waiting for an update on It's A Small World too. I keep hearing unsettling rumors that the children are being removed in lieu of Disney characters. Has anyone else heard this?

speaking of which, a few not-to-bright guests occasionally try to swim out to them... while the subs are moving... *sigh*

There was a recent exchange of posts about a message containing several "facts," one or two that were possible but a slew that were simply false. I won't try to guess at the motivation for some of the statements.

The post has been removed, as well as the discussion. I will take a moment, however, to make a small statement.

Posting information that is knowingly false is against the Forums rules, and in some cases is even considered trolling. There are several reasons for this, not the least of which is many members are very young and are not experienced enough to tell when something is done in jest or old enough to "get" sarcasm.

If a post of this nature is meant as a joke, and it's not obviousit's meant as a joke, then it needs something to show it's not real (such as a "jk" or an appropriate smilie). The post in question started with a real fact, but had a couple of lines there were either very wrong or in poor taste, depending on whether you viewed it as a joke. At no time did the poster say anything about joking.

This thread is "facts" of Disneyland. If you state something in error, OK, you made a mistake. If you knowingly post outrageous statements without consideration of our target membership, that's simply wrong.

These are some really interesting facts!! But I'm not sure about this one:
"Feral cats live in disneyland. they are mostly in critter country near the hungry bear, inside the castle, and in condor flats at DCA
"
How would the cats get in? And also... wouldn't the staff take them out? Even though they are small and are timid to come out, there could be accidents. The cat's maybe shy, but they still have tooth and claw.

Just as a note on the cats I can verify this is infact true.

Yes there are feral cats at Disneyland and Lots of them. Disneyland Actualy brought these cats in to the park a long time ago, Circled D even takes care of them when they need it, and they use to have a feral cat program. They serve as Pest Controll. The Cats are fed only at a few locations, they are considerd wild and some even have kittens in the park. They roam back stage mostly during park hours, there are alot in critter country and near the barn, any area they want really. Disney cant leave out any poison for obvious reasons, and far better to have the Cats then The Large Packer Rats.

Thanks, GG. I did my best to attempt to refute some points, but you have a better solution. ;-)

Here's a fact for you. The Rivers of America used to be stocked with catfish. Originally, you were allowed to catch them. But Walt was afraid someone would try to eat one, so they were removed.

The River, however, is still home to many kinds of animals. There are very large orange carp (similar to koi fish), herons, kingfishers, clams, and at one point, a box turtle.

Thank you for clearing it up GreatGatsby
I'm sure everyone will now understand these are facts
