5. Smaller than you think

The bricks on Cinderella Castle get smaller the higher up the structure goes. This is a "forced perspective" technique to make the castle appear larger, and has the added benefit of making fireworks that explode behind the castle look larger and more impressive, too.

4. The fate of Grandma

In the ballroom scene of the Haunted Mansion, an old lady sits in a rocking chair. Does she look familiar? Yes - it's the grandmother from the Carousel of Progress!

3. Whispering Goofy

 

The statue of Goofy sitting on a bench close to Tony's Town Square Restaurant will sometimes talk to you if you sit next to him.

2. Metallic foliage

 

The metal palm trees close to Space Mountain in Tomorrowland fold up at night and open during the day. They also collect solar energy.

As you enter Owl's house on The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh, look out for a framed picture of Mr. Toad handing a deed to Owl. Controversially, the Winnie the Pooh ride replaced Mr. Toad's Wild Ride.

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. :)
