5. The Casablanca plane

The legend: The Lockheed Electra 12 plane that is seen in the Casablanca section of the Great Movie Ride at Disney's Hollywood Studios is the actual one used in the movie. The truth: It can't possibly be the same plane. The plane seen in the movie was not, in fact, a real one - instead, it was a combination of half-size and quarter-size models. Disney's plane is real, and the back half can be seen in the Jungle Cruise over at the Magic Kingdom.

4. Scared to death

The legend: Shortly after Disneyland's Haunted Mansion opened, a rider was so terrified that he died of a "fright-induced" heart attack. Disney closed the ride and re-tooled it to make it less scary. The truth:While the Haunted Mansion's construction was horribly delayed (it began in 1962, but the ride didn't opened to the public until 1969), no such wholesale changes to the ride have been made. The legend likely springs from the fact that the facade of the mansion was finished in 1963, leading guests to speculate about its contents.

3. The Skyway

The legend: Disneyland's Skyway was closed in 1994 because a guest fell out of one of its cable cars and died. The truth: A man did fall from the Skyway, in April 1994. He didn't die (after landing in a tree), and the victim later admitted that he had climbedout of the car. The Skyway was shut for economic reasons.

2. The basketball court

The legend: The enormous faux mountain that forms the theming for the Matterhorn Bobsleds contains a basketball court at its heart. This was installed to circumnavigate local zoning laws that restricted the height of buildings unless they included sports facilities. The truth:There really was a basketball court (of sorts) inside the Matterhorn. The upper third of the structure was empty and was used a rest area for Cast Members, one of whom installed a single hoop. However, the relevant zoning law was not introduced until the early 1970s - and the Matterhorn opened in 1959.

1. Frozen Walt

The legend: Walt Disney was cryogenically frozen after he died, with the intention of being revived when medical science has advanced enough to "cure" him. His body is stored underneath Pirates of the Caribbean at Disneyland. The truth: We've all heard this one - the most famous Disney urban legend of all. However, there is next to no evidence that Walt ever considered such a scheme. Public records show that he was cremated and buried on the family plot at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in California.
