15. Beep...beep...beep
As you climb the stairs to the Main Street Railroad Station, listen out for an old-fashioned telegraph sending out a message. It's a morse code version of Walt Disney's opening day speech at Disneyland on July 17, 1955.
14. Mind your step
Liberty Square is very faithful in some of its historical details. Look out for the brown "stream" flowing down the middle of the streets - in frontier times, this acted as a urine trough to catch waste from horses!
13. A giant secret
In the Sir Mickey's gift shop in Fantasyland, take a look up at the ceiling. You'll spot Willie the Giant from Mickey and the Beanstalk, peering out from under the roof.
12. Unusual footprints
As you exit Pirates of the Caribbean, take a look at the "footprints" on the moving walkway. You'll see single boot prints followed by a small circle - these belong to a peg-legged pirate.
11. An unusual chess set
Take a look at the spires on the Haunted Mansion - each one is shaped like a chess piece.
10. Shoddy workmanship
The shutters in Liberty Square sag. Why? At the time of the Revolutionary War, colonists melted down hinges sold to them by the British to make shot for their weapons. Leather hinges were used in their place, resulting in the sagging shutters. Disney's "leather" hinges, ironically, are made of metal.
9. Uninviting waters
The murky color of the water in the Jungle Cruise and the Rivers of America is artificial. A biodegradable dye is used to create a natural look.
8. A couple's gifts
Have a look at the Partners statue in front of Cinderella Castle. Walt Disney is wearing an Irish Claddagh ring on his right finger. His wife Lillian bought this for him on a trip to Ireland (Walt bought Lillian one, too).
7. Don't drop litter...
Try measuring the distance between the trash cans in the park. You should find that you are never more than 30 steps away from one.
6. Walt's cameo
On the Carousel of Progress, look out for a picture of Walt Disney in the daughter's room in the 1940s scene.
