The story goes that Walt is pointing at his brother, Roy, and Minnie and telling Mickey to "Go to my brother and Minnie. They will take care of you now, for I have to go."

I really like this meaning behind the sculptors and believe it really gives them a whole new depth of meaning behind them.

Wow, I really like that story too, I actually got a bit choked up. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks to everyone for sharing all these great tips! I saw that someone had a word document a while ago. Is anyone keeping up the document and if so, could someone e-mail a copy to me? We are going in March (just 3 of us - DH and DD) and again in June with some friends. I would love to share some of these secrets with everyone ;-)

I'm not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but...

If you go behind the Star Tours ride at night (there is a trail) you can see lights in the trees. These lights come from the Ewoks' huts. Also, if you listen closely you can hear the Ewoks chattering.

Instead of the normal books or homemade books I went to Zazzle.com and made photo posters. when we went to see a friend We had them sign the poster. they now hang in the kids rooms. We will do it this year too.

Here is a link to what one looked like. So I can't figure out how to link the photo.
My son's is on the table.

I like this idea. There is a thread on how people collect signatures. This would be a great addition to that thread.

These tips are amazing! If it isn't to much trouble- I would love to get copy of the word document., just let me know what is needed.
Thank you very much!

Just wanted to clear up a few things:

- The trash cans at MK are no more than 12 feet apart
- The "Partners" statue is meant to show Walt leading his creation into the future, and the Roy statue is meant to show Roy's willingness to stay in the background, supporting Walt's dreams
- When on the KttK tour, if you ask the CM a question you can get two completely different answers, depending on if you are on-stage or backstage

Walt has two windows at MK.

Frank Wells' window is higher than all other windows along Main Street

At Wildreness Lodge, you can ask to be the "Flag Family", where you can raise the flags at the resort before dawn

No building or attraction is higher than 199 feet tall, as any structure 200ft or taller requires a flashing beacon on it, which would "ruin" the illusion that you are not in the 'real-world'

Find the hidden Mickey on the clock on top of City Hall at MK

In addition to Push, there is a talking water fountain at Epcot, and a moving palm tree at AK

In the previous incarnation of the TTA (the 1994-2009 version), the "Mr Johnson" in Skyview Hovercraft 1 was a tribute to 'Mission to Mars'

Hollywood Studios has (or at least had) the world's largest Hidden Mickey

The payphones in the MK when you pick them up it is a party line and you can here the conversations.

i don't know if they still do this, but back in '06 in the huge disney store in epcot you can pin trade. you give your pins [either one or two] to the CM and then you get about 30 seconds to look at this huge board, you just point to the ones you want and then they replace the ones you picked with the ones you gave them. it's really alot of fun. i was told they did that like twice a week. any info on if it's still going on?PICTURE
