I love the details you find at WDW. I also like that the park tries to keep up with the times; however, each time something new is added, one of the original (and, to me, coolest and most historical) details gets lost, replaced, etc.

#19 is incorrect. The Market House has been gone for years. That phone can now be found in the Chapeau

My dad worked on disney world while itwas being built. He was an extermi nator. So thank you. But please stop raising your prices. I cant afford to go anymore.

Thanks for this article! I have been to WDW so many times and have never noticed any of these!

Sorry, but I worked at WDW for over 10 years. Those palm trees in Tomorrowland have NEVER opened or closed, nor do they collect any sort of solar energy. I think we can chalk that up to urban legend.

Or more likely, Someone buying the story created by the imagineers as fact. The 'story' is that they open during the day to collect solar power, and then close at night lowering the 'coconuts' which are the batteries the power was stored in. You can see the various stages as you look at the line of trees.

Reality is that they are just pretty set pieces and don't really do anything.

Love the list but wish there was a file to print without all the extras!!

You forgot to mention all of the guns that people smuggle into Disney World everyday.

We actually sat back and watched the camel spitting on people. It was hilarious!

I have been to Disney so many times and have never seen these things. I have been writing down so much for my next trip. Thanks. :)

What is your problem? if you don't like Disney why are you even on a site called Theme park Tourist? Is your heart so filled with hate that you need to vent it on a place like this?

I also know that if you look by the red rocks outside Big Thunder Mountain, you can find a hidden Tinkerbell.

On point 8, in reference to the Claddagh Rings.
These come from Galway in Ireland.
The reason why Lillian bought the rings was because Walts ancestor was a Mayor of Galway City.
The documenation was researched and is now on display in WDW close to the animation courtyard .
Where there is all kinds of cool info on the history of WDW .

If you look in the pet cemetery when you leave the Haunted Mansion ride, there is a statue of Mr Toad. This was added when Winnie the Pooh took over the Mr Toad's Wild Ride. :)

Have learnt so much from reading this article. Will certainly take it with me in 2015 and check them out. Thank you for sharing this with us

This list is awesome. I'm going to print it up to take on my next visit.
